[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamrock13:
I know wireless charging is possible via the Touchstone method if I'm not mistaken, but if I recall, you're stuck with using that and only that. Is there a way to hack in wireless charging on the Note 2 with any charging pad such as that Fatboy pillow or the Nokia pads or anything with the Qi standard?

Also, can someone take a picture of the location of the wireless pins on the phone. I hear they're covered, and I just would like to see the back of the device.

Thanks in advance! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drum747:
I am wondering the same thing. This is the first video I have seen which at least means we dont have to replace the usb charging board. You can see where he solders the leads. He says its a Qi back in the comments.

No, you wouldn't be stuck with charging only through the touchstone. I did this mod on my galaxy nexus and didn't have that limitation. I love the touchstone and I'm looking to find confirmation that someone has done this mod on the Verizon Note2...I see info about all the other versions but not this one. I'm assuming it's going to be similar to the Sprint version mod but don't know for sure. Please, if anyone has info on this mod for the Verizon Note2, respond.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hdokes:
Well I'm intrigued. I own the Verizon note 2, 2 HP touchpads, and 4 touchstone chargers. I love being able to drop the touchpad into the wireless charger and letting it go. To have this functionality with the note 2 would be to cool. I also have a fair amount of electronics knowledge. I'm pretty certain that once retrofitted, a device set up for wireless charging would work with any wireless charger as the principals of charging are all the same as I understand it.

One question that comes to mind.. is there really any difference in the make up of the note 2 circuit board between providers other than maybe the radio circuitry? If not then there isn't any reason why the mod shown in the video shouldn't work. Over the next couple of days I'll check into this and report my findings.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
That would be nice but we don't have contacts to line that up with... We technically do have the hardware their but I have heard a few horror stories about people not being careful and screwing up their phone trying to do the mod. I had wireless charging on my S3 but I think I'm gonna hold out on the Note 2 this time around...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rcnacura:
Don't open case or you lose LTE/GPS

So I ended up buying the Qi charger on ebay along with a new chassis back (it was for the GSM variant) with the intentions of swapping backs and then having the holes to put the qi charger through. After MUCH hacking of the back, it worked, however I lost GPS, and 4G LTE. The chassis is just too different to work correctly.

I then put the Verizon chassis back, back on and used some copper tape to get the contacts to touch without the holes. Everything worked properly, but still no GPS or LTE.

I took it apart thinking I broke maybe one of the pins that use the chassis back as the antenna -still nothing. So moral of the story, don't take the chassis back off or the phone will be half of one. Its been about 4 days and going to various places in SF to see if LTE would come back on, but no dice.

Going to return this phone since its now broke (still 30 days) and next I will try and use the copper tape to put behind the actual battery contacts and NOT open the case at all.

Really wish VZ didn't take away this capability, as I already invested in the wireless charging stuff for my HTC Thunderbolt. Have a S3 and that works perfectly fine since the holes/pins are there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
You must have damaged something. You can take the back off without destroying anything - in fact you have to when you first get the phone since the battery doesn't come preinstalled.

Edit: never mind, didn't misread your post. But people have removed the chassis too - you still must have damaged it somehow.

Can T-Mobile's Note 2, when unlocked, be used Internationally, particularly with 3G services?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
Yes, actually the T-Mobile Note II has a PENTA-band HSPA+ (DC-HSPA 41mbps) radio, so it should work with most international carriers, etc on their HSPA+ networks too.

when i say "most" i mean all carriers except CDMA carriers (some in china) and some GSM carriers in Japan/So. Korea which don't really use common bands.

[Sony Tablet S] Topery Chiang:
Maybe the problem is intractable to Sony Tablet S, because of its 3E recovery.

My S(China 3G model) was repaired, and the version of system backed to factory(3.2.1). I tried to root it with AIO 5.2, but failed. So, I updated it to 4.0.3 R1 with SD, everything is OK.

Then, I rooted it by AIO 5.2, and changed the region to JP. I tried to update it to JP 4.0.3 R1 with SD, everything is going so well, but it stopped in "SONY" interface, unable to go.

A long time later(10 mins), I forced to reboot, system data still, never changed. So I tried it again, and wipe data, the problem still.

There is no way to OTA update, and it was failed, "error code: 7". I tried to OTA it again, it displayed the system is newest, but my system is CH 4.0.3 R1 still!

Who can help me?!

How can I make it to normal?!

Is the BUG of AIO 5.2?!

Thanks for your reply!

Sorry for my poor English!
[Sony Tablet S] mikajo:
All I know is that it's not a bug of v 5.2, cause I have the same error. Cannot solve it.

Maybe factory

could help... not just a reset. But do not know if it works on Sony Tablet S...
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
I get the same error code on my other android device.

Maybe it is the partition sizes.

The file is too large on one side?

OR maybe the build.prop is gone for good :eek:

Bootloops mean that there is a chance that there is a corruption o.o
[Sony Tablet S] Topery Chiang:
Thanks, but reset so many times.
[Sony Tablet S] Topery Chiang:
But I restored the build.prop(factory version), and tried it again, rebooting in "SONY" stopped.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
What do you mean 'Stopped'?

It is stuck on the Sony screen?
[Sony Tablet S] Topery Chiang:
Yes, yes, yes.

It is stuck on the "SONY" interface during the third rebooting.

Can you help me to solve this problem?

Thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:

[Sony Tablet S] mikajo:
I learned that this is not just a Sony Tablet S problem but can happen on every device.

Furthermore I learned that the Update is not getting the correct device name from the build.prop.

This is very interesting as I can't remember that I would have changed the name of the tablet in the build.prop. However, maybe it's helpful for someone of you
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
ok, lets try to solve the problem.

try to flash any update zip, after error 7 wait a minute, and get log from device:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my_username:
Is HTC still planning on updating this thing to ICS or have they just decided to scrap it? Has there been any official word from them regarding the Tbolt's fate? Some guy at Radioshack told me HTC has officially cancelled the ICS update, but I haven't seen or heard any other source so far that mirrors his assertion.

Have any of you guys read anything regarding whether or not ICS is still a go for us Tbolt owners?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
I'll put it this way just give up hoping and you will feel better in about a week. Then when its cancelled officially you're not bummed. Then if by an act of god its released. you can be pleased by the news. We are going on what 5 months from the original release date? I think by now we can put the horse out to pasture with these threads every month.

Look at the facts this phone is about to hit its second anniversary. Another is its not a nexus device as that seems to be the only brand that gets updates even after the phone is old.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigviar:
And how old is the oldest nexus? I bet my sox they won't always get that treatment.

But yeah there's only a dozen threads like this and some of them are still getting new posts.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ang1dust:
I agree with everything that said here HTC says they will be coming out with another ICS update for all phones with greater than 512 MB of memory this would have 768. But the normal next up is one gig of memory the best thing to do is go back to gingerbread under volt your CPU and get a resound battery. between under voting and the Rezound battery I have passed up upgrades for the last six months because my phone not only last longer than when I got it but faster.

Even if this phone does get ics the battery will be cut in half. Ics it's a great selling point when you want to Craig's list it but the power drain will bee twice what it was on gingerbread
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
The power drain on ICS won't be twice as fast. What even makes you think that? In all reality it should be twice as good since ICS handles resources better and uses hardware rendering for the ui freeing up CPU cycles.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
Galaxy nexus is a prime example. Look at all the newer ics phones out there. Their battery like is like double ours. Its proven ics doesn't improve battery life. The gnex is a prime example as its battery size is somewhere close to ours. Even running twisted ics rom battery life is no better than a gb aosp rom. So I think you are in for a rude awakening when and if we get ics. I never heard Google say battery life with ics was suppose to be better. That's just what board member started. We all know the main power drain on phones are the screens. How can an os upgrade improve an old screen in being more efficient? In the end battery life on the bolt will either be the same or worse. Don't even think our little weak battery is going to have the same performances as the larger extended battery's.

The galaxy nexus also has a faster processor than this phone and sports a super amoled screen. Nexus phones are like muscle cars, they're fast as hell but man does the mpg suck.

I can verify that ICS won't make the battery life worse. I had my Nexus S 4G when ICS released and going from Gingerbread 2.3.7 to ICS 4.0 made a huge difference in battery life. I suddenly didn't have to carry my charger with me to college.

Everyone says that the dual core processors are suppose to be more forgiving on power useage. Beings it doesn't have to work as hard like our single core processors do. I have seen the newer corvettes get close to 30 MPG. Its not the power but the gearing that really sucks gas lol.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Ive never heard anyone say dual core saves battery. The lte chip in the phone is what sucks the battery most of the time. The newer phones like the dna have the lte chip embedded in the cpu which helps save battery. A friend of mine has one and can talk for an hour on the phone and only lose 7%. He can go almost an entire day without putting it on charge.

Totally unacceptable. I'd take my BlackBerry off the charger at 7AM Friday morning, use it heavily Friday, lightly on Saturday and Sunday, I'd have to recharge Sunday night. That's acceptable.

By comparison, I can't get 12 hours on the T'Bolt running NuSense and just over 12 hours running Infected ROM.

That's with all the tricks I can find and swapping Rezound batteries.

The T'Bolt is just a battery hog, most BBs have much longer battery life.

NOTE: I hear constantly that Sense uses a lot of juice but I have very little difference with de-sensed ROMs and...... I LIKE Sense.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Dude, you cant really compare any blackberry to an android device. BlackBerry isn't even close to the power that android has. Also, nusense had to use an incomplete rom as a base which has had a huge affect on the battery life.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
My BB does everything I want to do and more, so does the T'Bolt. Both are capable of doing much more than I want/need so that's an irrelevant comment.

I *MUCH* prefer the larger screen, it's almost a necessity now, I hope that'll change if I ever can get these cataracts removed but so far, Medicare says no, not yet.

I should point out that unlike Android, BB email doesn't totally suck so that's one good point for BB... if my eyesight could handle the smaller screen and if my arthritic thumbs could work the BB keyboard I think I'd be back on it.

I have to speak heresy now and say I'm on the T'Bolt by necessity rather than preference.

NOTE: As to speed, I can't get LTE at my house or at my friend's house or at work or dang near anywhere I go so I run on WiFi about 90% of the time, 3G about 9.5% of the time and LTE about .5%of the time. I do enjoy that .5% though...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
Everyone I knew who went from a bb to a smartphone (be it android, iPhone, windows to name a few) they all said the one and only thing they missed was the email program the bb had.

The bb was the first evolution towards the smartphone. You can't compare the two. It would be like comparing a bb to a dumbphone. This is why bb is going out of business because they failed to keep up with the times. They thought they didn't have to.

It's just like with you the only good point you can come up with for the bb is the email. Android even ios and window mobile can do much more and just because you say both does what you need doesn't make my comment irrelevant.

If bb is just as good as any smartphone then why are they about to go out of business? Heck come to think of it I haven't seen anyone out in public sporting a bb device for quite awhile. So that shows bb inferiority when it comes to smartphones. Yes the bb can get better battery life but it does a lot less and their version of an app store is dismal.

I hope you are able to get your surgery and you can go back to your bb device but don't try to compare a bb to a bolt or any other smartphone device. That's like comparing apples to oranges.
