If I'm not wrong you can do that by factory reset. I have done that last week but only for less than 1hr. I noticed device status was normal after wipe instead of modified.

[Galaxy Note II General] androidbotz:
More strange problems surfaced by end of last week. First no SMS notification sound and now when someone calls ringtone automatically is adjusted to low despite adjusting it to high several times. I missed several calls due to this issue and it kind of reminds me of the buggy old nokia, symbian OS that use to give problems that no one could understand or fix..

Did a re-flash of the LJ5 during the weekend but same problems persist. :confused:

Seems like the only 2 options I'm left with is to remove one app at a time and test the phone or simply wipe all data and cache. And if the problem still surfaces after doing all that then I have no choice but to downgrade to pathetic LJ3 though, LJ5 seems to have better network stability in my opinion.

If anyone has a better suggestion or a fix then please help.

Tks.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
Nandroid first then do a clean installation (3 wipes) and monitor without apps.

Or few important apps first and install app 1 at a time. Try to reproduce the mentioned problems.

If all fails, reflash the best suited FW for you.

For the ringing tone, let it ring a little while longer as Samsung had this bo liao function of increasing ringing volume...

*Check under settings is block mode is set to on?

Another possible scenerio is when ur phone in pocket, accidentially pressed on on/off button, accidentially unlocked n accidentially pressed on volume rocker button that caused u to hv soft ringing vol but seems too "accidentially" n chances r freaking low...lol...

LJ5 does have better network than LJ3.

I believe is some of ur apps that caused it... try uninstall some apps that is related to profiling, notifications, or even led notifications app if u hv any
[Galaxy Note II General] antimuds:
thanks bros for the previos advice,

now i just found the N7105XXALJ5 (singapore singtel version)

if i flash this, will my phone be still rooted?

and is it stable?
[Galaxy Note II General] joshua:
Phone will b unrooted but juz use CF auto root again..less than 10mins job...

LJ5 network stable..much better than LJ3...

Its a non wipe rom too which means ur data wil b intact too
[Galaxy Note II General] kat0072:
Everything will be impacted, also it will be unrooted again.

Once you are back on stocked firmware you can root it again with Odin.
[Galaxy Note II General] androidbotz:
Sean, Joshua and the rest thanks very much for your advice. Will give your suggestions a shot and hopefully things will work out fine. Will post the findings if it is positive so that if anyone else has similar problems they will know what to do. In the mean time, keep up the good work! :good:

Hi guys, Im unsure if this is the correct page to post my question. My N2 is a non-Telco set. Up till now Im on the LIJ. I had run the software update but has not received any software updates. Im using a Mac and Kies could not update my device. Would really appreciate if anyone can tell me if this is normal? Many thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
XSP set is the lowest priority. Not surprise if you are not receiving updates but did you try OTA?

If you really want an update, download from sammobile latest FW is LJ5.

Just a question... I rooted my Note 2 using CF Auto Root. How do I unroot my Note 2 # I rooted it via the CF method.

Really appreciate ur help guys!
[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
Reflash stock firmware (what you've downloaded from sammobile) will unroot your device.

Alternatively you may factory reset it via your phone.

I reckon next step is to flash CWMR.

[Galaxy Note II General] joshua:
Ehhh.. correct me if i m wrong...

After reflash stock firmware liao still need to go into recovery mode to wipe data n cache then will clear root completely coz the stock firmware is non wipe which means after u reflash all ur datas n settings will still b intact n of coz u lose root but system status will still show "modified"

This happened to me on my S3 LTE n note 2 LTE la...
[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
Eh..last week when I lost my half root I did a factory reset and status shown normal wor but after then I root again liao. :D

where can i read up more about flashing rom (for beginner)as i haven't done before.

if my set is an export set i do not have to reset the counter to 0 right? since i wont get any local warrenty
[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
Glad to hear that your toy is back to normal... :)

Here's my 2 cents...

Flashing a particular ROM, u need to know which ROM suits your preference most then read more on users feedback. What's good what's not then you decide to flash or not.

If yes, read OP for flashing instructions.

Remember, practice make perfect.

Export set send where for warranty?

Forget about the counter! Now head to other threads for more Mods & themes. :D:D:D

Hi Folks

I am new to android having migrated from iphone 5. Have a few questions below:

1. Recently I backup and restored thru KIES. Found out that sms and installed softwares not there. Should this be the case or did I not do it correctly.

2. Root - what's the benefits in this and how reliable? Is there a link where I can read up on this? I user to JB iphone until 4s then I decided not worth trouble because keep upgrading year after year.

3. I installed SwiftKey but there is no Chinese keyboard. Is there anyway I can have it like iphone where I can do pinyin and also write Chinese characters?

Looking forward to hear from kakis here.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
Welcome to Android world!

First of all, I would say it's one of your wisest choice to ditch fruit and choose Android. Lol....Call me bias if you want to.

Go to play store and install sms backup and restore (riteshsahu) to backup your sms.

Reinstall your app? This where the benefits of Rooting comes in.

Titanium backup (root required) backup/restore all your apps.

The advantages of rooting an Android phone: just like having Administrator rights in your PC.

1. Have full access to your device..

2. Backup and restore the whole system..

3. Running special programs that cannot be use in non-rooted Android..

4. Flash custom ROMs.

Try Swype beta... http://beta.swype.com/

Download preferred language.

Bro Sean, is there a diff between CWMR and CWM? I tried to google, but only came up with CWM.. Sorry if this is a noob question..
[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
CWMR = recovery mode (something like bios -from my own interpretation)

It's useful when your system giving you problem.

CWM = app based. If your system giving you a problem such as bootloop, you will not able to use it.

I would say, 99% of rooted Android would install CWMR, 1% TWRP.

hope this helps...

Something to share, some of you might already know this. (Safe mode @ bottom left)

How to Reboot Your Android Phone or Tablet Into Safe Mode

If you're having issues with your Android device and need to troubleshoot which of your two hundred apps might be causing an issue use this trick to boot into safe mode—on Android this means that the OS will load without any third-party apps.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 simply reboot your phone and hold down both the volume up and volume down buttons while the phone is booting. The words safe mode should appear on the bottom of your screen.

If your phone doesn't have the same issue (crashing, freezing, battery life problems, etc.) then you can be reasonably sure it was caused by a third-party app. Try uninstalling your most recently added apps first and you should eventually find the culprit. If you're still having the same issue in safe mode you may want to restore your phone to factory settings.

Hi guys... I'm having some problems with my note 2.

Itchy hand used the mobile odin to flash the newer stock roms few hours back.

after flashing the stock rom, no SIM card detected.

Already tried remove and insert SIM card, remove battery, reboot etc.

Still same.

Tried Factory reset using the boot recovery, still same.

Tried to re-flash the newer stock rom and older stock rom from SammyMobile, keep getting Signature Error.

Now my note 2 can't be recognised using usb on both my PC (Win 98) and notebook (win 7).

Any one encountered before?

My last resort is to go service centre, but not sure if can get it repaired, or get it back in time before my holiday trip next tuesday.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note II General] oriki:
Nope did not nandroid.

I had used mobile odin to flash the rom as mine can't do OTA from day one.

That's when the problem started. Previously I had used Odin thru PC to flash.

Nope did not backup my csc.

Already sent the phone to samsung service centre. Not sure if they will void the warranty since the flash counter increases.

thanks

PS: Background info on my note 2: I was able to update to LJ5 previously using Odin as I can't do OTA. Phone was fine until I decided to install customised notification bar 2 days ago. Made my notification bar totally missing. Had to flash to the version before LJ5.

Only last nite decided to flash to LJ5.

Hope can get the phone back soon, was told need 3-4 working days.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
Since you have already sent for repair there nothing much we can do here.

But let this serve as a lesson for all.

Always backup your data before flashing anything as flashing involves risks be it high or low.

[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
You won't see triangle on boot up but go to download mode you will see counter = 1 or 2, binary = custom. You can view this on the Triangle Away app (launch the app, current status)

Yes, titanium backup is good to have.

Must do - nandroid, csc, efs backup.

(In case of your device gone haywire)

If you are interested then can look at Kernel, ROM,bootanimation, call recorder, status bar mod/theme, audio Mod.

Thanks Sean... still learning. Couple questions:

1) I have purchase Titanium backup Pro, do I still need CWM RECOVERY by Chenglu in this case?

2) Same question as above after purchasing Titanium backup Pro... do I still need to do nandroid, csc, efs backup? If yes, can I have the links? I don't want to do wrong versions or for wrong devices.... thanks.

Pretty amazed with the number of different types of backups required! :D
[Galaxy Note II General] Sean_FD2R:
1. Yes, you still need CWMR to flash Mods/themes/FW/ROM and Nandroid backup & restore.

Titanium backup only up backup apps + data & freeze some of the apps

Whereas Nandroid is a full system backup (Rom/data/apps etc etc) which can be done via CWMR.

If your system haywire (bootloop - unable to boot into Android) after flashing a theme or mod but can goto recovery, you can restore your previous nandroid

Backup via recovery and boot into Android again.

2. Yes, good to have IMO.

Hey everyone,

Here's a quick recap of the rare problem I had with LJ5 on my Note 2 (7105) and the solution that worked for me -

1) Phone out of the box came pre-loaded with LJ3. Realized network was very unstable (also, noticed by many others on the forum on LJ3) so decided to go for the necessary upgrade from LJ3 to LJ5.

2) I had already rooted my device on the first week thus, was unable to do a OTA for the LJ5 so did it via Odin (PC).

3) Upgrade from LJ3 to LJ5 was a success with all data and phone apps unharmed but for some reason, SMS sound notification had stopped working. The bros on this thread and I explored many possible settings and solutions to try to salvage the sms sound notification, for example -

a) Through, phone and SMS sound settings

b) 3rd party App settings

c) Uninstalling one app at a time

4) All the above failed to revive the SMS Sound Notification. Finally, did the unthinkable... a full "FACTORY RESET"of course, after doing a backup of all my pics, vid, sms and contacts.

5) Burnt a day doing it but it was worth it as full functions of phone have been restored including, the SMS notification sound. I re-installed all the same 3rd party apps with no problems. In fact, it is much smoother now.

I am no dev or tech guru but learning and experimenting as I go on like many others here.. I believe when I installed the new firmware (LJ5) on top of all the 3rd party apps a conflict may had occurred and somehow disabled the SMS sound notification function despite, all correct settings in place.

I have also noticed other phone/tablet developers sometimes force you to do a clean install upon upgrade thus, minimizing on such conflicts. Though, you have to go through the headache of doing full backups and such but it sort of clears the room for any 3rd party software conflict with the original ROM/firmware.

LJ5 seems very stable for me for now and quite unlikely that I'd do a next available upgrade unless, very necessary or with tons of new functions.

Till then thanks a lot guys and keep up the good work, as usual!
