I use a flip cover case. Then it goes in my pocket. I have 0 dust, maybe thanks to the case. Give it a go, although yours is probably past saving if the dust is that stuck.
[Galaxy Note II General] Leonora T:
I didn't even notice anything about this before until i read this thread, as soon as I read this I straight away open 'my baby' case and put flash light on it to check the gap and dust you guys are talking about lol. Luckily the gap on mine is very very small, not as big as the one on pic on the post, and there is no noticeable dust. 'My baby' is titanium grey anyway.
[Galaxy Note II General] donzo44:
Got mine 8th October, unlocked and SIM free. Screen protector and flip case from day one. No problems that I can see.

Had the back off a few times to try various SIMs and insert a 64gb microsd card.
[Galaxy Note II General] Roybenz:
Got a New Grey today. No gaps :) finally
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
The best way to get the dust out it to use a thin rubber adhesive bandage (the ones you used as a kid)

Slide the sticky side down the tracks.

Works for me :)
[Galaxy Note II General] nm8:
I think the white looks elegant, or am I the only one who thinks that?
[Galaxy Note II General] Paradaz:
Send me the card please, I need to see if it will fit in my GN2 :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] dryspuri:
Any one wanna swap there GAPLESS grey model with white one, I just got one from 3, Unlocked. i thaught I will like it but its no go for me. its brand new so i will expect the same. i will also include original receipt( so the same is expected), please PM me.
[Galaxy Note II General] dk206:
Mine is gapless. And even if it was I'd get it swapped for a new one since its faulty. I would never go white though. Same build just harder to tell if it is faulty due to the colour.
[Galaxy Note II General] urbangear:
you're not alone...white is also neat...
[Galaxy Note II General] badasscat:
You're not the only one. I think the "Titanium" one looks cheap. If they'd just made it black, that would have been fine. Don't give me plastic with a finish that's supposed to look like metal. If the phone's plastic, it's plastic and no amount of "brushing" is going to change that.

Anyway I came in here because I just noticed my (white) phone has one of these little gaps on one side... the chrome trim ring is not perfectly flush on one side, and I wondered from the subject if the dust you guys are talking about could be because of that. I noticed my gap before the dust, though. Seems like it's at least not a totally uncommon problem... now I'm thinking about exchanging my phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] Randles:
No dust in mine. No gap either but ive only had it a week.

Titanium hands down the nicest looking but everyone has theyre own taste.
[Galaxy Note II General] Roybenz:
You Will see it in sunlight. The one i got without gaps turns out to have a gap over the screen after all. Visible in the right light. It also squeeks when pushing the bezel over the screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] badbadtz.carlo:
white is better than titanium imo.

no dust on my unit, but there really is a tiny gap. glad to have silicon case that overlap the screen from the sides and covers the gaps to keep em dust out! :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] EvoYas:
I think that too.
[Galaxy Note II General] badasscat:
Well I'll probably keep mine anyway... I did a Google image search too and like 50% of all the Note II's out there seem to have this noticeable enough to see it in pictures. I think it's just a manufacturing tolerance thing, and it's just luck of the draw - I could easily get a worse one if I return the phone. 99% of people wouldn't ever notice it, and would think a person's a weirdo for returning a phone over it. My OCD is strong when it comes to electronics, though, so right now I'm kind of fixated on it. I hope I'll get over it.

Edit: ha! I pushed in a little on the side and it went "snap" and now I have no gap. I think it just wasn't put together quite right.
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
What a wonderful , usefull thread ........NOT !

[Galaxy Note II General] chokxxi90210:
confirmed that the gap is there on only grey models

Hi All,

I am in the process of buying a new SGN II; yesterday I read about this dust issue and today, I visited several major mobile stores in my city (I am from BARODA - GUJARAT - INDIA) and to my surprise I saw approx. 10 grey SGN II devices, all had a gap around the screen at some place or other, majority of those had a gap in the middle region besides the screen, some had on top part above the earpiece,some had at bottom.

Putting these devices side by side to a White SGN II, the gap was clearly visible and distinct. :rolleyes:I so very much wanted a grey SGN II but now I guess, i'll go with the white one. :rolleyes:

I visited 2 CROMA Stores, REDIPHONE Store, Jasmine Mobile Store, Reliance Store, 3 Authorized Samsung Exclusive Stores....!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
I got my beautiful Titanium grey Note2 yesterday and after 1.5 day No dust , could not find any gap even with a magnifying glass...

My guess is , if some batches got this issue, it will happen to the white ones too, only that on white, it's probably less visible ...

Anyway, it's not a general thing, cause there are grey gap-less devices out there, including mine...

If your device got this issue, replace it or return it or live with it ...

I saw in the showrooms here in Holland, that all devices were gapless, but because I wanted to buy it cheaper from a webshop ( not a dutch model) I almost went for the white one...

I am glad I didnt, cause even this model made for some eastern-european country market, is also gapless , dust-free

Unsubscribing from here ...

I did find a lot of threads but i didnt get any answer to my question.

I was using a 2.3.6 stock Atrix 4G. I decided on getting the cm9 so i unlocked the bootloader using the following link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182871

as i am using the newer version so i was advised to run option 1 of the script( click the link to see the script) and then option 3. I did option 1 and then my phone got stuck in unable to boot and then i ran option 3 and just pressed enter and my phone booted. So i didnt advance on the script and closed the script. Now my phone says UNLOCKED at the m logo while booting.

And then for rooting i used the following link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1769497

i did get some errors while using the coding( as i had typo error) but then after two reboots and trying i got the success on my cmd window.

but i didnt get the same command promt text as upndwn4par( see the link) got. Still i anyhow got success. I checked my apps and super user was indeed sitting there.

After unlocking and rooting i downloaded rom manager and also downloaded cm9.zip file into my sd. Then pressed flash CWM and then also made a backup for my stock ROM and then pressed download from sd card on rom manager , then it asks cleear cache dalvik and backuo. I checked all and then my phone reboots and gets stuck in the ANDROID GUY with an Exclamation mark inside a triangle. I also tried reboot with recovery in ROM manager but the same screen.

I have mentioned all my steps. So please guide me where or what am i doing wrong?

please help , cause moto ditched me and i want to ditch moto's software.:D

[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
i want to know if we can change the framework or delete some stock apps, after root the phone...and if someone already did..is there any problem??
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
About the framework I don't know, I see there the apps in java files.

About delete the stock apps, you can do it with "Uninstaller Pro", but if you uninstall instead of froze, to have them again you need to re-flash the phone, cause even doing the "factory reset" they won't be there anymore.

You can delete the java files using the "AntTek Explorer" but be carefull with what you delete :)

IMEI problem 2 phones GOOPHONE i5

Hi guys

I have problem its very bad. Two phones GOOPHONE i5 bought from different suppliers -- both original. Phone no.1 was never in range of any UK gsm network. Phone no.2 was ok ready to work straight out of the box. When I rooted phone no.1 it was no change still no range. I sent message to supplier and they sent me back new IMEI and instructions how to use it (factory code) I unrooted my phone and it was without problem phone was working from first moment --- I decided to root phone --- no play store bunch of Chinese apps :(. I had lots of help from Manuxo I downloaded his ROM v1.3.1 and cwm too: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2131475 PERFECT. After ROOTING IT WAS NO RANGE and phone had old IMEI with end 423.

LETS STEP TO PHONE NO.2 NOW.

With phone no.2 it was ok from first moment it was working straight out of the box :). I installed new Manuxo ROM v1.3.1 (cwm flash was done by great help of Manuxo --- if you using his ROM --- please donate him!!!) After that phone no2 lost range no network etc but the most surprising thing was IT HAD SAME IMEI like phone no1 --- 423 end????????? WTF then???? I want to say other people had that Rom installed and phones working PERFECTO !!!!!!! How this is possible both phones with different IMEI's numbers end up having same IMEI?

How to change them now??? Because instead phones I have 2 iPods :(:(:(

Conclusion:

Phone no 1 original IMEI --- end 423 -- did not working before and after rooting --- I changed IMEI with factory code sent by phone seller and phone was working ok --- when rooted back -- no range and old IMEI :(

Phone no2 it was working different IMEI all was ok --- after rooting no range network and IMEI number was showing like phone no1 with end 423.

I need help guys how to fix that problem.

Thanks in advance

hi guys,

i just bought a goophone i5, mtk6577 (512 mb of ram), android ICS 4.0.4. That device has a HUGE problem :( "no signal", with every sim card i tried, both slots.

I tried to change the imei, but no luck (also i tried an imei of another phone which obviously works perfectly).

The phone doesn't show the signal indicator (near the clock). Emergency calls doesn't work either (i tried also from the factory mode, as you can see in this video: http://tinyurl.com/qzn9hvk ).

I'm still waiting a solution from the seller. Some of you guys know how to solve?

Since the phone can't do even emergency calls i think this might be a problem of the radio, but i don't kwow how to solve). (may be with some files from another phone??).

PS: the phone is rooted, so i can do any test.
