[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayjohn:
I too can confirm this.

The plug keeps popping out of the port at the slightest strain on the wire, sometimes by its own weight!

I believe the length and the shape of the connector have a role in this defect.

I am wondering if replacing the cable at the service center will do any good.

Also, being hard plastic, i wonder how one of the users previously posted here about chipping of a part of the "rubber"

Is this a general problem for all cables, at least the ones sold in India? Any solutions?

i file some of the plastic in slant (/) position. now it fits well.:o

I dunno what you guys mean by a slant tip end. If you can show some pics, it would be cool. Mine is like this, and it fits snuggly in position.

The back of the note 2 is like the s3, it has a rounded back. So when you plug the microusb cable into the slot, the top part of the plastic bit touches the phone and prevents it from going

completely

inside of the slot.

I plugged my logitech performance MX microusb cable into the note 2 and it is a very good fit, it wont come out unless i really pull on the cable. not sure if the cable is good for the phone though :p
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuwidol:
Mines really loose too. the headphone socket is worse. If I have the phone in my picket with headphones plugged in they come unplugged after a few steps.

I phoned Samsung about it & they said to return it to where I got it from. thing is, I bought it from the Westfield shop which is about a 2 hour drive for me. I don't want to get there & they turn me away saying its fine...

SAMSUNG! you better get a new QA/QC...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taiseer999:
Same problem here, and sometimes PC won't recognize it (scary for upgrades),

I think neither trimming nor replacement with "old exiting USB cable from an another phone" is a good idea, Samsung should replace the cables with longer tips.

Mine is the same bt i manage to get it working ryt by using the another cable to make it longer lol

Add me to the list, I'm going to have to file down all my existing micro USB cables! Has anyone who has had the s3 faced the same problem? It's definitely a design fault of the Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipas:
hello i'm following this thread cause mine usb cable seems to suffer the same problem. the shape of the connector body on the cable makes it impossible to fit entirely inside the charging port. I am waiting an assistance phone call (requested to samsung warranty service by phone) this evening (GMT +1 time zone).

in the meanwhile i adopted two solution in the following manner:

- use another cable (i don't like this)

- open the connector plastic body using nails (it's locked by snap-fit). it will remain the naked connector. now it fits much more solid into the charging port. then, to compensate the aesthetyc, i covered the naked connector with a white glossy tape. the result is a slimmer connector body that allows a quite full penetration into the charging port.

i'd post some pics but the permissions on my account won't allow.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
Did you....errr.... did you giggle to yourself, when you wrote that?

Haha :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipas:
ahahahah sorry english it's not my mother tongue :laugh: however i choosed the term penetration to emphasize the pleasure of finally getting this connector fit deeper in the note 2 punani :laugh::D:D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipas:
Update: the cable's connector seems damaged in some contacts inside him. The symptom is a disconnection from charge when moved a little bit upside.

Question: using a different cable might damage the battery or am I paranoid tell me the truth? (I'm out the window with my ak ready to shoot cit.)

Seriously, could I charge him with any microusb cable without fear of anything??

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premiatul:
Yes, you can use any charger. I have about 5 of them from different

phones and aftermarket. They all charge fine, just with the original

one the charge time will be shorter, because it outputs 2A.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] note2grey:
Same...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipas:
Hi, i bought a cheap white micro usb from the ebay, well it takes the double the time it takes with a lg p500 usb cable i had got home, fortunately. So no, i don't think every cable could transfer all the 2A output from the charger.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
You're correct. Not every phone cable or cable in general has the same capacity inside. So while you can charge your phone with almost any cable, the quality of the cable and what it can handle is different.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erk469:
I bought an 8 foot micro usb from amazon for about 3 bucks, it's the factory cable that comes with the note 2 that is not built good enough or you can go to sprint or your carrier and deal with them like my with did.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floms:
Hi friends

I asking for help because yesterday i flash AOKP JB-4 in to my galaxy note N7000 but something went wrong in the middle of the rom install the screen put black and since then the phone is not working.

I'm going to explain all the process i made to flash the new rom

1. I install Clockwork Recovery in the galaxy note

2. I did a nandroid

3. I flash the rom with rom manager v5.0.2.1

4. The phone enter recovery wipe delvik and cache and started to install the rom

5. In the middle of the process the phone went black. is not the battery because it was 80% full

I have tried to enter recovery mode, download mode, use odin (but the PC dosent recognized the phone) i have also use [Linux] ModeDetect USBID Detector but this method is not compatible with the n7000

The phone was already rooted but the person who rooted didn't used odin so i don't now if that has something to do with the problem i have.

So is there anyone that can help me to safe the phone or is totally brick
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utacka:
Probably bricked since you didnt follow the warnings and instructions. There are methods in here somewhere were you might be able to partially revive the phone but loose some storage I believe.

Happend to me to. Had to sent it to repair nothing made the phone to come on. They had to replace the motherboard in the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavenhated:
You can try using PC odin in download mode to try installing a stock rom. If post update the phone is stuck in boot it probably means your phone is bricked.

Take it to samsung and if you are under warranty they will replace the mother board.

Happened to me. One of those unlucky ones who did factory wipe before the news spread out :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante501:
Well he said I can't turn it so no download or battery charging mode just nothing. Black screen dead. Like I said when I flash a Rom that what happen to me and nothing no jig nothing made it possible to even turn on make the screen light up other then a motherboard exchange.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
So today, I had my phone in my pocket with a pencil and I guess it kind of scratched the screen pretty badly in one area. Nothing isn't working, it's just extremely annoying to look at since I can see the scratches with my screen on. So my question is how much would it cost to replace the glass of the phone? (assuming I had someone do it for me as well). I don't need a screen replacement, but I really want to replace the glass. I do have a 1 year warranty and I'm not rooted so will sprint cover this?

Please respond asap, thanks :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zack2491:
Gorilla Glass 2 is supposed to be just as strong and scratch resistant as the original, only thinner. Reports like this make me wonder though. My original EVO's screen (original GG) is still perfect, after nearly two years of normal use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgethegoat:
I'm new so I can't post this in the proper thread...

What's happening: Updated to Codename 3.6.6 with a brand new factory refurb. Radios don't work so far as I can tell. The signal indicator remains empty and I can't make calls, text, no mobile data etc.

Codename 3.6.0 works fine.

I of course wiped the user data/did a factory reset, the cache and the dalvik.

What the poo?

did you flash the correct version as in the VZW one?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] humayooshah:
i am having a similar problem i.e the signals drops completely after sometimes but comes back again and it happens randomly (no only when screen off..anytime)

i have rooted my phone and have installed Codename 3.6.6 (should i install 3.6.0?)

before rooting there was no such issue.

so from where should i flash the new radios optimized for 4.1.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkcloud2973:
I had this happen on a different ROM a while back. I ran "fix permissions" in recovery and it fixed the problem. Not sure if it will help you, but it's worth a shot.

So folks - will this phone be the top Android phone after it's release?

Everyone (well, mostly) reckon the S3 is the better handset - does this new phone bridge the gap!!

The note 2 already topped the s3: double the ram, a little bit faster processor, brighter non-pentile screen, DOUBLE THE BATTERY LIFE (7 to 10 hours of screen on time), multi-window and some cool spen-related features.

Hi everybody in new ICS roms Fruit ninja have error like this "fruitninja unfortunately stop" !

whats this and how can fix it!

and other thing is that some versions of same roms have it and others not!

for example miui.us v4 2.8.31 run fruitninja easily but the version 2.9.21 have error!!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingAmir:
Our device is not really the best for ICS. Many apps will not work well with it and slow it down. I would suggest changing it back to 2.3.

It is probably because the device ran low of RAM.

Hit thanks if you found this useful.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arex780:
Or try JB. It's little more optymalized for X8 (For me JB is faster than ICS)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DAZEBOY:
Please can someone try and change my mind because I'm only disappointed and let down every time I try one .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
What exactly are you disappointed about? Try the latest official builds of cm10 or aokp. Not a nightly or a kang.. an official build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
Try Paranoid, it looks pretty wild!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skadebo:
SHHHH!!!! You're not allowed to say that!

I've done the same as you. The only change I've made to stock is run nova launcher to make it a bit more purdy and personalized.

Minco is pretty nice since it's really close to stock but faster, but in the end I'd rather just run stock for peace of mind (not that Minco was unstable).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knucklesmckay:
Stock based roms perform the best in my opinion. Although Bamf Paradigm and Wasabi Miui run well for me, if I run them with trinity 1344 kernel.

IMO It seems like CM and AOKP stay in the nighties phase for way too long, and bugs and stability issues take too long to fix. This has been the case on most phones I have owned. They are great innovative roms though. I find it rare when a Rom with loads and loads of features runs as good as stock based roms do. I love having features, but performance, stability and battery life are above all features for me. I can just find mods myself anyways and add them as I need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
If stock is what works best for you, run stock, there's nothing wrong with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Why do you want people to change your mind?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DAZEBOY:
The last ROM flashed was team baked black ROM it was OK but the force issues became very annoying .I was just asking am I doing something wrong when flashing ? I don't seem to get the same user experience from using jelly bean.There is only one feature I've used that isn't stock is fast reply which I think is brilliant and will definitely be in 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Fast reply, I don't even know what that is :D but anyway, Android comes down to user preference, if you enjoy stock, then rock it dude, I've tried only a handful of roms here but stock gives the most solid performance 9 out of ten times. granted I'm running Slimbean now, but I like to flash every two weeks :P and this rom is pretty great aside from bootup time XD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
i just hit 260h with no reboots. custom built from src, JRO03R, maguro. rock stable so far. gcc 4.7.0.

just saying, stock can be rock stable, and still be fast and responsive, if you're willing to tweak it and spend time testing it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DAZEBOY:
I've tweaked till the cows come home but I think Google have totally cracked it to be honest and early reports about 4.2 seem to suggest they've went one more step in terms of speed and look .The quick reply feature is in cm10 when you receive a SMS you get a pop up window at anytime so you can instantly reply ,must be enabled tho .

This is why I started this thread. Jelly bean is maybe to good in some strange way . With Froyo and gingerbread there was lots of room for improvement but now there seems to alot less. I'm talking in terms of stability and speed IMHO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kcharng:
How about improve battery life and performance. Now my phone lasted me the whole day compare to stocks.

You can also get pampered with slightly larger screen estate with smaller home bar. Using different home bar color make night time use easier.

Current using minco v4 Rom and loving it. His Rom sticks very close to stocks, with many improvement that makes it even better. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DAZEBOY:
I've been using the Franco app for ages and really love it for getting rid of lag during games (I'm looking at you temple run) I've gave up trying to download parom I've never given that ROM a thought I'll try and download that instead.I take it its totally optimised for Franco ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Minco v4 runs good. That's what I was running last. Its basically stock but faster. Not really many tweaks at all. There are a bunch of separate mods that can be flashed if one wants to use them.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMan0790:
Personally, I've always been a CM guy. Running the latest nightly and on stock kernel and I have absolutely no problems. Running a custom kernel like Franco can make the phone even better, but of course it really comes down to what you want exactly. Testing out different ROMs and kernels is why I switched to Android and why the Android platform is so versatile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I can't do stock anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kcharng:
Minco Rom is geared to work with Franco's latest stable kernel while sticks close to stock. It help takes away lots of risk and confusion making things a lot simpler. Especially for those that don't want all the bang and whistle.

Together with vomer's mods that also guaranteed to work with minco. You can pick and choose what 'extras' you want in your phone.

The three of them together formed a package that is fast, stable and simple to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkmanx2g:
Wow, with all my android tablets being smartphones and tablets. Custom roms provide a vast improvement in performance and battery life. I am currently on Minco v4 with Franco r282 kernel and it is so much faster and smoother than stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DAZEBOY:
I've just flashed minco v4 with Franco milestone 5 .it seems great so far very close to stock which I love so I'll give this a go and see if its what I'll looking for
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schneewitzchen:
I run mincov4 a couple of days now! It runs very smooth and the battery life compared to stock is pretty amazing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
I can't really be without Paranoid Android after getting used to its tablet UI. My phone looks more like a tablet than a phone now. Apps and system. Big plus for my use. I always use my phone in landscape mode as of late.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j3r3myp:
I have tried many ROMs, I can't get back to stock because of the lack of customisation.

For the moment I enjoyed all of them but even with Trinity or Franco, CNA for example becomes quite laggy on the lastest nightly...

At the moment, what ROM did you enjoy the most, regarding stability/customisation balance ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowrider262:
try Liquid smooth jb. has almost all the same options as cna but feels smoother imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z7nz:
Try Minco. Cm10 and AOKP are still on development process so no doubt there will be bugs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DAZEBOY:
Used minco v4 for day now, I must say its brilliant the ROM is very subtle the closest to stock I've ever used but the battery life improvement is massive and the gnex is very responsive well worth a look
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
All this talk about Minco! I gotta try it even though I know I will return to my PA tablet UI setup. I am home sick and have nothing to do anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PigpenUK:
Another +1 for Minco here.

I've tried a couple of CM10 ROMs including PA and while I like some of the customisation available in them the speed and smooth operation of Minco and Franco's nightlies has me coming back all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
I have flashed Minco now for the first time after using CM based roms all the time.

And yeah. The smoothness in it is on a whole other level (at least in the launcher) I can already tell that. Pretty much no stuttering at all. I know it's a new flash, empty phone and all that but it's obvious anyway that there's a difference in the core. So smooth.

But as I said. I am not ready to give up tablet UI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j3r3myp:
All this talk about MiNCO; I'll give it a try even if I would miss the customisation of PA or CNA. Is it really smooth as stock with latest franco nightly ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wunderkind:
I tried many different custom ROMs. From CM10 to Paranoid and everything in between. Of all, I find Jellybro and LiquidROM is the most stable and fast. I might switch back to CM10 because it has that funky BB10 lockscreen. =P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DAZEBOY:
Its amazing! Its really fast super responsive. I've never seen a ROM like it . The ROM has very little in terms of features but this is what I love about. Very close to stock well worth a try
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joplisan:
I tried out many different ROMs and I found out that I'm just not the kind of a person who wants to modify his phone to that level. For me, nothing else comes close to the simplicity, reliability and smoothness of the stock JB. I love it! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emama:
If you like the stock, stay with the stock.
