For me I think it's a faulty phone. Time will tell. Anyways, I am typing with my replacement note 2 rooted with jedi x-4 and it works perfect!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:

Some people GPS breaks. Its just how it is. Some places just don't get a good lock. My previous Nexus phones were like that too. Some developers put GPS locking scripts in their rom and i guess, some don't. Usually the ones who don't always respond with the answer " GPS works fine for me" not taking into account that other people wont be able to get a good GPS lock without assistance.

If your GPS cant even be turned on its your phone otherwise you just need to tweak something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
What you say is ture. Two things bothers me: 1) my gps went dead right after I flashed jedi master 5 and 2) my gps does in fact, turn on, but no gps or agps (like if it were off). :mad:

Two things that might proof that's a manufacturer problem is: 1) I odin back to stock (erasing any gps scripts or what not) and 2) I nand restore back where my gps was working. But didn't work.

Is there anything I can try?? Remember right now, its on firmware stock by odin. Thanks!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rob the plumber:
Definitely not details in the rom if returning to stock doesn't resurrect gps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hiiimgravy:
Just curious, did you have to pay for replacement? Did they make you return the phone? Just wondering because I do have insurance with Tmo, but I think the deductible is $120.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
True. I'm still try to save it. But you are right. Odin stock would've fix the gps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
No $120.00 deductible. Only if screen is broken, water damage, lost and/or stolen. But they maybe charge you the shipping. I was lucky... Free 1 day ups shipping! And yes you have to return the defective phone back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rob the plumber:
If you have the $7/month insurance they next day air you a replacement and charge $5 to your account. The $4 insurance has a $20 deductible, and they send it via regular mail. That's how it was explained to me from my Tmobile Rep.

You have 7 days to return the defective unit. They provide you with a free return shipping label for ups. I used the same box and just covered up the old label with the new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] soapbox23:
So there is no way at all to restore gps? I bought my note from that best buy mobile/ebay sale and i can't afford to not have a phone and wait for the replacement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] igorenyuk:
Lol common now... Wouldn't recommend you root your phone again... Give people benefit of the doubt here, just cuz someone's gps broke and no fix out there works, it doesn't mean they don't know wtf they're doing.

My note 2 gps died as well, after flashing a couple of ROMs, seeing which one I liked the most. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary when flashing, we all use same methods, most of us have been doing it for a long time now, with multiple phones. Now if I bricked my phone, because I didn't wipe or flashed the wrong file or w/e, then sure you can tell me to stick to stock. Even in that case, as they say, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. Just cuz our gps' went haywire, doesn't mean we don't like to experiment. Point is - if we're posting in this forum, it's not because we want someone to tells us we aren't experimental enough or good enough to root. The whole point is for people to share their experiences and their knowledge, to benefit the whole community. I don't mean to nag, just sayin' - don't judge.

Now, I don't know exactly how your gps was acting up or whatnot and it really is great that the fix worked for ya. But none of the fixes worked for me and I tried eeeverything. It was just dead, like someone took the gps sensor out of the phone. Exact same story as Jp2dj1's, even the gps lock/location icon wouldn't come up in the notification. Had to replace the phone. I reaaally hope these are just some isolated incidents and doesn't become an epidemic lol I've had enough gps nightmares with the OG Galaxy S Vibrant back in the day.

Happy rooting!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dreisus:
I'm not gonna sit here and write a story book. The reason why i said that is because the person was too quick to return the phone. If every time u run into a problem you just return the phone u don't think Samsung would have a problem. What about if they just lock the phone so we can't root at all.would that be good for u. My friend did that before and i told him i wouldn't root his phone again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
1) Don't judge, the "judge". Its his opinion. :)

2) Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
1) You did write a story

2) I wasn't quick to replace. My instincts were right. :)

3) Peace
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dreisus:
it was returned within 1 day after you posted the problem. Am i wrong or right. You ordered a replacement device while u were still trouble shooting. Suppose you fixed it. Anyway keep sending the message to everyone call in and get a new phone when they have a problem. I'm sure there is no one of any authority who ever visits these forums.

Have a Great Day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
1) Again you are wrong.

2) Still my judgment was right.

3) U mad bro

4) Peace
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] igorenyuk:
I mean he obviously tried all possible solutions before replacing the phone, as evidenced by his many posts describing what he tried.

And Sammy is not going to ever completely lock their Android phones. Consumers and/or Google will not allow it. Besides that's why you erase all traces of rooting before returning.

In any case, I'm not trying to start a war of words here now. I was just trying to say, you shouldn't tell people to stop rooting like they're not smart/good enough to do it. That's what your comment felt like and I took it personally cuz I was forced to replace my phone due to the dead gps as well. And I don't believe that means I should stick to stock from now on...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eleon3348:
gps icon no appear in status bar

I flashed jedi x5 rom and gps do not work, i gave a restore with stock rom via CWM and the gps in google maps work fine but the gps icon dont show in the android status bar. The only problem that i have now is the gps icon because gps works. Any ideas or recomendation is appreciate. Sorry for my bad english. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
Well if gps icon does show try this first. Use GPS status and toolbox, go to menu 1) reset then downloaded GPS data. You have to be moving while doing so or the GPS won't pick up correctly. Restart and good luck.

Second if that doesn't work odin back to stock.

P. S. Your English is good :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eleon3348:
Thanks,

I back to stock but the GPS icon does appear. The GPS don't work too because few hours ago the signal that I saw is the wifi not the GPS. I gave factory reset too and custom binary is official and counter is 0 but don't work the GPS. Thanks for your help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
So this is a second note II from OP with dead gps???? wut oh .... I hope I didnt mess up leaving htc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
No, I think it's the third note 2 with gps problems.

Furthermore I am using my replacement phone with gps no issues gps not all. Rooted with jedi x-4 W/ VolMod.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] browniegirl:
Soooooooooooooo hmmmm, at this point im ready to return my phone to samsung. Im beyond annoyed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
Dang thid thread is still alive. ..let this crap die already. You got the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
You are breaking the gps. Stop saying you have a faulty device. You said it right there 'after I flashed jedi'

And point 2 is; your rationale is flawed....how does your second 'paragraph' prove that irs a manufacturer defect?

Albeit one that s happened twice in a row or more out of the 5 million handsets made already?

Your just exploiting the warranty and replacement policies to fix your mistakes.

Lolz lolz lolz whatever....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
Dude. U MAD BRO? Peace.

Anyways. If Odin to stock doesn't fix it, it's a faulty device... but maybe you're right, wish you can proof it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
Why is that ? I love this thing. It's pretty incredible imho. I'm going to wait till we get the OTA multiwindow to root hopefully someone will have given the ota update root SU soon after.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rob the plumber:
My gps broke. I run the Jedi roms. Mine stopped working well after the rom was installed. Odin back to stock didn't fix it either. Neither did the hour I spent on the phone with tech support.

They sent me a replacement, which I promptly rooted and installed the latest Jedi rom. My gps is still working just fine. It's not the rom, or the flashing method. It's the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eleon3348:
samsung tech told me "is a software know issue"

I called today to samsung support for claim a warranty. I explained the gps issue and he told me that is a software know issue and the update is coming in January 2013 with multiview. Because the gps identify the place via wifi but not via tmobile network. Because that reason the gps is not dead it is working partially. He offered a claim number for repair in texas but waiting is better than send to texas. True or not I will wait for the update. I told that he said.... Is not my opinion. Sorry for my english.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
Yea I m mad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jp2dj1:
Well, come at me bro. XD JK. JK.

Anyways, replacement Note2 still working perfectly. Maybe it was the first batches of phones with gps problems or could be a software issues. Either way time will tell.

Peace \/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rob the plumber:
Right on. My replacement phone has been rock solid as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
Im just tired of reading posts like this thats all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
2 birds one stone right on . GPS will be fixed as well as the first ETA for the multi window update. Thanks man. I just wish you had asked if the gps would be safe until the update if it was not turned on until then. Or did you ask that o.0 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
This is the second time I have heard this January date for OTA.

The first one was while talking to a Tmo tower certification guy. He was checking on a tower that just got refarmed for LTE.

I told him I had a Note 2 and was excited that the LTE was going online as my GN2 had the LTE chipset. He told me that in "January you'll get a text message to update" and that I'd love the LTE.

I only hope he wasn't feeding me a line of bull.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eleon3348:
I sent the note 2 to Samsung warranty

Hi,

The Gps issue in my phone it was a software issue, check this notes from samsung. Samsung accept my note because i revert successfully to stock without any number in counter and the system status as normal, and it is able to take system update. But gps never work for me.

Hi all, just a quick question relating to the 4.2.1 update. I still haven't received the update on my completely stock nexus 4. I'm in the UK but I am aware of others in the UK too who have already got the update. Just wondered if there is any reason for this? I know I can update manually but would rather get the update OTA

Thanks in advance

[General Questions and Answers] Crepusculi:
Hey all!

So I'm trying to use SMS Barrage to send many (MANY) messages to a local radio station to win a contest for concert tickets. You can send in as many entries (texts) as you want, so i'd figured i'd automate the process. HOWEVER, the number i have to send the texts to is a 5-digit short code, and my phone throws this warning up every time a text is trying to send to a short code. Now, granted, this is nice that Google is trying to protect us, but I feel I can take care of myself. Does anyone know a way to disable this warning, as it appears for EVERY singe message that is sent via sms barrage, so not very automated. I'm using a Droid Bionic, running an unofficial version of CM10 found here.
[General Questions and Answers] Crepusculi:

After removing the google services framework data to try to force the 4.2.1 update, my Nexus 4 has gone from my Google Play devices.

I have read through the other screen protector thread and I feel like it's just a mess to read through because it's people either simply stating what they ordered or SSHguru from just like glass suggesting his product or talking back and forth with people about the orders. Just like glass is definitely one of the protectors I am considering as well as possibly looking at the SPIGEN SGP protectors.

I have not used a screen protector on a phone in a few years but due to the screen being so big and not being able to get insurance on the phone this time I feel a screen protector is wise. I just want to make sure it will not hinder the use of the spen. I am no artist and can barely draw a stick figure or even write with a pen for that matter, I just have horrible handwriting. So as long it still functions correctly I am happy with it.

I am thinking of adding a pole to this with the ones most recommended.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] djben75:
I am using Just like glass, I also have horrible handwriting and cant drew worth crap! (even my stick figures are bad!:eek:) It is a great product!! and SSHguru (AKA Scott) Is great as far as responding to emails and posts / concerns. That being said the protector I relived is a little short (Files where too big to upload!) and it sounds like he had an issue with the manufacturer. So I would wait until that gets figured out before ordering!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mentalcase87:
Ok thanks! And that was one of the reasons I am interested in his JLG, it just became hard to read through everything since it turned more into a thread about his protector and why to buy no others as well as him supporting people. His support is great from what I was reading. I just wanted to get the ball rolling on a thread that is about actually using the protectors and how they have worked out for people so far on all brands. I know zagg is something I will go no where near.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] djben75:
Actually just got an email from Scott "We actually got a real Note II and laser scanned it.

The new cut is shipping to you today.

Thanks for the help!

Scott"

So I cant be positive until I receive it but assuming it is the right fit I would very highly recommend it!

I got the zag invisible shield on today. It takes 24 hrs to dry. So I will let you know once it dries.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jamesd86:
The invisishield hd is a no go for stylus users. My brother had one on his and the sketch he did with it is permanently on his screen protector now.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] PsycloneTW:
I'm using the Spigen Ultra Crystal and despite it not covering the screen entirely I love it. It's virtually unnoticeable other than the fingerprints that it collects, which is something you'll see with all screen protectors(I had issues even on my oleophobic that I had on my GS2). The stylus works just as well as it did before I put the protector on it and there are zero marks on it from the stylus since I've been using it(5 days)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] T.J. Bender:
I'm using a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic and, in retrospect, I wish I'd left my Ultra Crystal on. The Ultra Crystal was all but invisible aside from the fingerprints that wipe off cleanly, whereas fingerprints on the Ultra Oleophobic leave behind a film that makes the fact that you're using a screen protector painfully obvious. All things considered, I should have stayed with the Ultra Crystal, and it's only my desire to not give up on a $7.50 screen protector ten days after getting the phone (as I did with my Ultra Crystal) keeps the Ultra Oleo on there.

That being said, I use my S Pen regularly, and neither Spigen protector ever showed signs of wear or marking from the S Pen. I did have an Xtreme Guard screen protector on there for a few days after getting the phone, and it was badly marked up by the S Pen. My theory is that wet-apply protectors are just a bad idea with the Note 2, as gooey plastic (which is basically what they are) is prone to being scratched up and dragged around by pointy objects.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kharizma:
I use the same material used on cars for their clear bras. S pen works fine, and it's very tough. I use it on my iPad 3 as well. Never buying screen protectors again. Lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] skugpezz:
Reporting back with my feedback from using the zag invisible shield.

No marks have been left on it with my s pen. It is not as smooth as writing on the screen though. I am happy.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
This is completely bogus. I had two zaggs on my Note 2, one replaced by Best Buy because the S-Pen marks were so profound, the second removed because it happened to the improved Zagg... Even with the second being a Zagg HD, I was 100% let down by this product. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.

The SGP Ultra Crystal is, by far, the best available, as far as the S-Pen goes. It's just too hard for it to even think about leaving marks. That being said, I am eagerly awaiting my new re-cut just like glass to see if it's all that it's cracked up to be. If not, I will be certain to let you know... and subsequently go back to a SGP Ultra.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] skugpezz:
That is your experience. I was stating my experience. I am happy using zag invisie shield on my note 2. I have zero marks from s pen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] skugpezz:
After more days with the zag invisible shield I am very happy. No marks at all from s pen :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zack2491:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] skugpezz:
Let it dry for 48 hrs before using the s pen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Alfakher:
Has anyone noticed any delay/lessened sensitivity issues with either the SGP or JLG screen protectors? It's awesome that the note 2 has 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity (I'm assuming it's built into the spen), but I wouldn't want a screen protector getting in the way of that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] littleguevara:
Spigen ultra clear here works fine

sent from my Note 2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] powerwagon:
I wouldn't do that...you WILL get marks on it...I can almost guarantee it. I too had the Zagg HD and after a few days use, there were s pen marks all over it. Initially it seemed like a great protector...actually, without the s pen it would be. However, if you look at your screen with it turned off you can see marks all over it. Go with xtremeguard, Just Like Glass or Spigen...any one of those will hold up better and they are all quite a bit less expensive.
