Screen Broken

Hi All

unfortunately just 5 days into buying my new note 2, i dropped it and the screen broke. :crying: Absolutely dreadful feeling. I am sure it will be not be covered in warranty and samsung will ask for huge amount of money to replace the screen. And the worst part is it had a samsung flip cover but it provided no protection. Am sure this would have happened with others also here. If not, pls use a good case which gives protection against drops. Anyways few questions, would appreciate answers & your experiences.

1) How much will samsung charge for screen replacement

2) Has anyone here tried to get it replaced through a local mobile repair shop. How much does it cost and is it reliable performancewise ?

3) Finally which cover/case are you guys using which provides drop protection and at the same time doesnt add a lot of bulk to the phone.

Pls share your experiences..
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
1- Around 7k.

2- Local mobile repair shops? You mean those cheap shops, which generally service Chinese craps? Never!

3- Case Mate Tough, Otterbox Defender etc. Just ditch those garbage like Flip Covers and all.

Just flash an international Rom, ME6 or MF2. Waiting for Indian update could take forever.

There is already international thread

JIG for Note 2

Does anybody know whether there is a JIG which actually works in Note 2 and which brings it to Download mode and also removes Yellow Triangle & Custom Binary Count?If yes,where will it be available?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Jig can force to put device in download mode but won't reset counter.

Available on eBay
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Thanks.But what about Yellow Triangle?
[Galaxy Note II General] lifehijack:
lock screen not responding to touch

Hi, I recently did a factory reset on my Note 2.

Ever since then, the touch on the lock screen doesn't respond intermittently.

For e.g. when the screen is locked and I press Power or Home button to light up the screen, when I move my finger on the screen to unlock, it doesn't respond to touch. So I have to press the power button few times to turn off/ on the screen and then it'll let me unlock the screen.

How can I fix this issue? Trust me it's really annoying when you want to call or text someone and your phone will not unlock. :(
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Have yellow triangle appeared in Note 2 ever? I have not seen.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Me also,dr..But I saw posts about the Yellow Triangle in Note in several other threads.Perhaps it might have been about Note 1.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
It was there in Note1 and S2 where there is no bootloader auto check sum protection, you can use custom recovery/kernel without raising flash counter. On S2/N7000 it just gives triangle and raise counter if you use PC odin to flash custom stuff. Application which we using to reset counter invented by CF while samsung started such protection on Note1 and since there it known as 'Triangle Away'. There is no yellow triangle on Note2 but additional protection bootloader auto check sum, which detects custom kernel/recovery on every boot.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Thanks dr. for the detailed information.Since my entry to the Samsung world is with Note 2,I was quite ignorant with these matters.

SIP settings

I see an option for enabling Built-in SIP in the Phone module of Xposed Tweak box.In it is there is direction for configuring it in the Phone Settings.So I went to Phone>Call settings>Use internet calling and chose "Only for Internet calls".Is that enough?Or else is there any thing to done further?

One click root apk

In xda there is an apk for one click root which roots 4.1. Samsung phones also in contrast to Exynos abuse apk .Have any one tried it and what is the opinon about it/The link to the thread is given below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
No need for xposed, note have inbuilt sip account setting, tou needs sip account and have to enter your credential from where you want to call.

Personally I prefer third party sw 'bria', as it's voice quality much better than stock.

Once your device is exynos patched it shouldn't work. (that i believe, didn't tried)

Battery life is going crazy these days on my note. BBS shows partial wake locks from whatsapp in top spot. Any suggestions? I really require whatsapp.
[Galaxy Note II General] virani_joush:
[MENTION=3671460]emze[/MENTION] Try greenify. And try hibernating the whatsapp. But you will not be able to get notifications. But it helped me saving battery.. Very nice application.

[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
Greenify requires root no? BTW, whatsapp never gave me issues until now. And I need active notifications too.

I have installed advance task killer. Hope that helps.

Which is the best FW currently for note 2 ?

Can i flash ME6 for UK ? Would there be any problem ?

Do i need to flash indian CSC over the ME6 ROM ?

Looks like i missed 18 June note 2 india update......... Or not?

It's My latest till now, anything new came?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
your ROM is latest for Indian ROM. For india there is no new release since april (built in March)
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
OK.Agree with you dr. And as we are with stock recovery we can't flash in recovery.But can it be flashed with Mobile Odin?And coming to the subject of Mobile Odin,it is not all consistent in my Note 2. When I try to flash a zip with it,it won't flash and reboot readilly.Ihave to attempt a number of times and if luck comes it will flash successfully once in a while.It has it's own choice when to do it.What is the reason for this and how can it be set right? I have experienced this while flashing your Toggle mods of Main zip,Fix zip,Blue theme version zip,and Blue Text zip.I deleted thr 'eu.chainfire....' line from Sdcard uninstalled M.Odin and reinstalled several times.Also cleared Data of the apk using App Manager in System settings.But no posiitve results.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yeah I have many times stated too, mobile odin is not that much stable in flashing zip.

It happened to me too. I am trying to find exact reason and doing some trials.

So far i have observed flashing stock recovery - reboot - using mobile odin worked all three times whenever I have stuck with Mobile odin.

Let's see if it is consistent, though will try to contact Chainfire once I found something.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Thank you dr. for your earnest efforts.If zip flashing also made reliable,there will be no other better flashing tool than Mobile Odin.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Hello dr.,whether we in India can place outgoing internet calls(VOIP) using our Note2?If yes, what is the procedure for it?I could see set ups for incoming calls only.Ofcourse,I found short cuts using Google Voice.But I understand that it is not available in India.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
First you needs sip account on any of site which provides voip service, i have used 2-3 when i trips abroad (also work in India too) like lowratevoip.com

Fringaling.com(no more working)

Callwithus (currently using with bria, you can set caller id for out going )

Then you have to purchase credit from sip account provider and you have to enter your credential in call setting - internet account setting - account - add account

Or you can use third party sw like I said earlier bria and add credential in application.

Then you can make call anywhere, charges depends on service provider. But most of have same like us/UK calling nearly 1rs/1min

While India also 1-2 rs/min

Gulf countries all costlier and almost same as our cell provider.

I installed the 4.3 camera on the day it got leaked. Yes, it comes with a different gallery apk. One advantage of the new camera is Photospere and you can view such a shot only with the new gallery apk.

What's your Play Store version? If it's updated one then just clear data/cache and re-run the app. Everything should be fine.

Thank you dr. for remembering my preference.I like your old mod of 2G/3G/A which has more ease of control at my own wish and can be accessed it anywhere by just pulling down the status bar instead of the control Switch appearing on a screen in the case of Toggle2G .So is their any option to choose between them?But my real HEAD ACHE is I can not flash the 23D Toggle Rivert zip using Mobile Odin.I tried today about 6 or seven times ,but each time the phone is going OFF instead of rebooting to recovery after flashing the zip.I tried battery pulling,clearing Data in apk etc but no success.Only after flashing this revert zip I can flash the Back up and the Main Mod zips.So I am much desperate now,just sitting and seeing the enjoyment with your Mod by others...

Almost every shopkeeper buy/ sell used phones. it means they just send exchange phone info to Samsung from their used phone stock.

interestingly, Samsung doesn't asking exchange device to be send to them, instead they asking Valid bill, IMEI No. and few photographs of the device and consumer Cell No..that's all

Only things which do not perish with use or time is called investment :rolleyes:
