Hi ,

O2 quoted £110 for a repaire. Are you aware if that was the actual replacement of the front glass or just a fix? Due to me recently cracking the front glass on my note 2 I have to send it to samsung to have it repaired and fixed and cwnt find a clesr answer as to how nuch they will charge. Down to your issue its poor customer service on o2's part. From what you have said they will be forced to show you the information unless of course they have t&c's in their contract agreements. But to be fair I used to work for Orange and they would issue copies of the repair reports as far as I am aware.

I hope you get the resolution your looking for .

[Galaxy Note II General] Suicidal Chicken:
Hey man. I don't know at all, I've not been told anything regarding what needs replaced or repaired. I imagine that it'll be the whole Glass, LCD and Digitiser replacement as their "engineer's" are pretty incompetent. I've checked the T&C over and over again, there's nothing that says i'm not entitled to reports, even if there was - Under the Data Protection Act I'm entitled to it. It's been a whole f*ck up and I woke up today, with the feeling of, "F*ck it;" You know? I'm only still fighting as it's principle.

[Galaxy Note II General] iouk:
Do you have any pictures of the crack? I only ask as I have had a VERY similar thing happen to my Note 2 also from O2. My defect (because that's what it is, I haven't caused this, haven't dropped it etc) looks like a smudge in the bottom right hand corner of the screen and if you wipe with a cloth it seems to disappear. But if you wipe the screen with a wet finger you can clearly see what appears to be a single hairline crack from the edge of the screen across the corner of the phone to the home button. 1 hairline crack. Now you can't feel this crack with your fingernail and you cannot see it with the screen on. It's almost like there is a smudge under the screen but if you wipe it enough with a cloth it does disappear (it's very strange). Most people can't even notice it I have to point it out to them.

I did contemplate sending it back to buymobilephones.net under their 30 day warranty but I've heard horror stories of phones going missing, getting a refurbed one back that was worse than the one they sent or them saying I've done it and charging me for repair etc. I've decided to live with it and if it gets any worse I'll claim on my insurance. I'm just curious to see if it's a similar issue to what you have.

I'll try and take a picture but tbh I don't think you'd be able to see anything as it's hard enough when looking directly at it. But I know it's there, and that annoys me slightly.
[Galaxy Note II General] Suicidal Chicken:
Hell yea brother!

Sorry mate I don't have a picture. I too couldn't feel it with my nails. I had an email arrive yesterday but was since "returned" with the message, "Sorry, I did not mean to send this email." I was left in state of confusion and contempt, to which I replied with a single word - "What?!"

[Windows 8 General] Felimenta97:
So, I was trying to add a fifth row to my Live Tiles screen, as I have 4.

According to this: http://www.ampercent.com/how-to-cha...e-rows-in-windows-8-metro-start-screen/10494/

There are a certain number of maximum rows you can add based on your screen resolution.

My screen has a 1366x768 (Not mentioned there). Based on that, I can only have 4 rows. But, what could happen if forced a fifth row with that registry hack? Anyone else tried that?
[Windows 8 General] scaryshark:
I have a 1080p screen and I tried to put it above what was allowed to 7 rows but after a reboot nothing changes. I even tried to put it to one that was supported but nothing happened again.
[Windows 8 General] dragon_76:
It resets the registry to 4 rows because it is also based on your screen size. Someone needs to find the hack that overrides the screen size limit. I have a Samsung Series 7 Slate that only has 3 rows and I think they are too big. I want them to be like my Lenovo Twist and have 4 so there is more harmony between the two but so far I can't figure out how Windows is getting the info for the screen size. Maybe the display INF?
[Windows 8 General] code72:
Me too, i have an Acer W700 with full hd resolution and i nave only 3 rows. I hope someone can hack this to have more row and less big tiles.
[Windows 8 General] code72:
I found the key to edit, it's:

\HKEY_Current_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid\Layout_AvailableHeightCells

In my Acer W700 the number is 3, the problem is that if i change it to 4 or 5 the system reset it back to 3.

We need a hack...
[Windows 8 General] jonthe838:
I + 1 this since i want to have 4 rows on my acer w700 (the one with i5 processor)
[Windows 8 General] kenikh:
from another thread...this also worked on my i7 PC:

see below for the reg tweak:

1. open notepad

2. post following line:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Scaling]

"MonitorSize"="12.1"

3. save as a .reg file

4. import into regedit

5. restart surface

6. enabled will be 4 rows and 9 rows in portrait when you go: settings: tiles: show more tiles
[Windows 8 General] Felimenta97:
It won't change a bit to me, as I already have 4 rows, and my monitor is landscape only.
[Windows 8 General] jonthe838:
This doesn't seem to work for me since i don't have the option in the tiles settings menu.. But thanks anyway :) or is there a way to 2nable the option?
[Windows 8 General] kenikh:
In landscape it should just work - no need to flip the tiles setting. It is only needed for portrait. Make sure you reboot. I've done this on numerous PCs and it worked, even on my 1080p desktop PC/monitor. let me tell you, 4 tiles sucks on a 24" monitor! :)

I did make one omission, because I copy/pasted from my phone. You MUST close the space in the reg path in "\Curr entVersion\" or it won't work. It appears the forum breaks the reg path there, for some reason, even if you type it right.

One other thing to consider: the critical setting is: "MonitorSize"="12.1"

You could experiment with the numbers, although I have no idea what they mean. I do know that the guy who discovered this hack initially had the setting @ 10.1 instead of 12.1, which made the on screen keyboard too small to use.
[Windows 8 General] code72:
I was posting the same solution from Surface's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086240

It worked for me, i changed value to 13.1 and now i have 5 rows
[Windows 8 General] Felimenta97:
I will try when I get at home. Don't know how it will be on Desktop, with my 18 inch monitor
[Windows 8 General] lilstevie:
He originally had it at 15.1

The number is diagonal screen size in inches
[Windows 8 General] jonthe838:
still won't work for me.. any tips?
[Windows 8 General] code72:
Try to increase size (13.1-14.-15.1 etc.).

IMPORTANT: after any change restart pc to see effects
[Windows 8 General] jonthe838:
Ah thanks! It seems as if 12.1 gives me 3 rows and is the standard size while 13.1 gives me 5 rows.. Thanks for the help!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyx96:
I have my HTC HD7 with OSPL (Europe) v5.x (Mango 7720) and I want to flash a new STOCK HTC HD7 Europe ROM. Can I do that or I'll brick my device?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Hi,

Yeah you don't want to flash a new updated stock/shipped rom to the device with SPL 5.xxx - via bootloader mode...and yes it may brick the device.

What are you wanting to do exactly? Update the device to 8107 or 8773?

If the updates aren't available through your carrier and Zune then there are 2 methods to which you can update your device.

1. You can use WP7 update cab sender.

Take a look at this thread... It is designed for stock devices without custom bootloaders.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1306415

Make sure that you read through it carefully and understand it clearly and make sure you do a backup of the device just incase.

Second method is forcing or tricking Zune into giving you the update. The updates are available but whether or not the carrier is releasing the updates is another thing. So when Zune check your device for an update it also checks to see if the carrier is releasing the update for you and if not then Zune tells you there are no updates available and your device is up to date. This is how you trick Zune into giving you the update.

1. Go to setting and turn on airplane mode.

2. Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software

Click on Phone - Settings - Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If not...

3. Time to force the update. Click on another button, like the arrow back. Then click the Update button again, and this time disconnect your computer from the internet after 1-2 seconds, by pulling out the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc. If it says your phone is already up to date, you didn't disconnect quickly enough and need to try this step again. Sometimes it may take 5 or more try's to get the timing just right.

4. Wait about a minute or so and Zune should display a notification that an update is available. This should be the 8107 build

5. Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through Zune.

6. After 8107 is fully installed, do all steps again to get to 8112 and finally to 8773 update.

As my HOX was charging, via a USB cable to plug, the screen started flickering slightly and the phone shut itself down. The phone was 10% charged. Now when I try to charge it the LED flashes red and green and doesn't seem to charge. I've read that this could be due to overheating so I left my phone untouched for a couple of hours but it's still flashing red and green/green. Something feels seriously wrong.

Is there something I can do to fix this?

When the problem started the phone was quite warm but nowhere near as hot as it has been, and I wasn't using it that much.

The only thing different today was that I was using a plug that I don't normally use, the cable I have used before.

Any ideas?

How much does a battery replacement cost?

Thanks

Chris
[HTC One X] cjm1979:
Don't you have the charger and cable it came with? Try another charger that can supply at least 1 amp and try a different cable.

The only time I've had this is when it's overheated.
[HTC One X] evilgeeius:
Charged to 28% but then shut down after light usage

Ok I've managed to get it charging up to 28%. Then I stopped charging it and started using it to do some light Internet browsing, but after about 15 minutes it suddenly shut itself down even though it wasn't hot and had plenty of battery. What's going on?
[HTC One X] XxVcVxX:
You might have damaged the battery using a non standard plug. It might be more than the phone can handle
[HTC One X] evilgeeius:
I always had the impression that the USB plugs were all standardised and acted the same?
[HTC One X] evilgeeius:
Can charge it to 60% but turns off after heavy usage

OK I've managed to get this battery to charge up to 60%. It won't go any higher than that. I was using today quite heavily for about 30 minutes and it got quite hot and turned itself off.

Will replacing the battery sort this problem out or is there something else wrong?

Thanks

Thank god for Asurion. Haven't had it in years, but the guy who sold me my note2 talked me into it. Fast forward to today, and I dopped the phone coming out of lunch today onto the concrete. Have a case, but it was no match. Screen cracked and unresponsive.

They are sending a replacement, for a reasonable $100. Can I expect a new model since it's only a few days old or will it be refurbished. Just curious mostly. Happy to not have to shell out another $700 bucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrlaigle:
No way will they have refurbished units this close to the release. Would would almost guarantee that it's a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdetroit:
From what I understand, the first 30 days they have to send you a new one. After 30 days, you may get a refurb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] randpost:
You will receive a new one. I just received my wifes replacement this afternoon and it was brand spanking new. I should have ordered her case early since I know shes clumsy. I'm happy I opted for insurance, which I usually do for at least the first 6 months.

Nice thing about the ordeal is I get to keep battery and charger, and since the replacement was new, I received a second charging set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmspeer:
That's how the VZW rep sold it to me. He said, "Add it, keep it for a few months, then remove it. It can always be removed, but after 30 days, not added" - Glad I took the advice. I never keep a phone more than 1 year anyways, so keeping the insurance for about 6 months or so sounded like a good idea. Going to send him a gift card for talking me into it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
What case were you using at the time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] my_handle:
That's good. I keep insurance on my line because even buying this party (including ebay and craigslist) you're covered on the device you were using.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnome_sayin:
For the first time ever I got insurance for my Note 2.

What sold me was that the Verizon rep said that manufacture defects are covered for 2 years instead of one.. no deductable. I ALWAYS seem to have issues come up.. keyboard fails on the OG Droid at 14 mos.. charging ports break.. etc.

I plan to have this phone for a LONG time.. ending my yearly upgrades.. lol. So, insurance seemed like a good idea!

I had my S3 replaced a few times before finally upgrading to the note 2.

Each time it was replaced I received a brand new in box device. The last time I had it replaced I asked about it. I was told that the S3 is always replaced with a new device due to the cost of parts/labor to repair.

I'm not sure if the note is the same way, but I hope so. While I hope that I don't need it again, it is nice to know that you're getting new and not refurbished.

As some have now noticed, there is a new bug in JB related to waking the device using the home screen under certain configurations.

[size=+1]How to reproduce:[/size]

Set lockscreen to None (might affect others types?? - default Swipe is NOT affected)

Open any app

Lock screen with power button

Press home button

[size=+1]Expected result (and how it worked in ICS):[/size]

The phone wakes, and you're back at the app you had opened before locking the screen

[size=+1]Actual result:[/size]

The phone wakes, but the home key press is processed as if the phone WAS NOT asleep.

In other words: it's like you hit the home key and you're taken to the launcher as normal. Or alternatively, if you locked the phone while at the launcher, whatever action you have configured for the home key in the launcher is triggered (for example, opening the app drawer).

[size=+1]Some notes:[/size]

Tested with both stock TW launcher and Apex - same result

Tested after OTA update, and full wipe - same result
