Wow. I didn't realize The Hobbit was out on DVD/Bluray already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] repsol_23:
Not sure of release date but it was around March.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
It's the cable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
How would reboot fix it if its just the cable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
Idk maybe the system has more ram since hardly any apps have ran and it can use the voltage from the charger better? All I know is I changed the cable and mine never does that any more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
New problem.

First off I personally have never noticed any problems with the Beans builds. Awesomeness!

I'm on 20 and dirty flashed the last couple of updates without issue.

Now my compass doesn't like my car. ..? It works fine outside and in buildings, but in the car the compass is always wrong. Never had an issue before.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
Ive been trying to trouble shoot something similar to this on my own. But ive been inconsistent I should try with different kernels on the same rom but I get flash happy and done different kernels and versions of beans 18-20. Ive had good charge rates but I plug the phone into charge and it wont report charging for a minute or two and if i unplug it thinks it still charging. Has this been the case for you when you say it wont charge sometimes at all?

I want to get a new cable as back up anyway so I will give it a try too. Its so weird though that after a reboot the charging is fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wyckedfunk:
Maybe your just going the wrong way :rolleyes:.. sorry I had to
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
Same thing with my cords. Some nights it would charge no problems. And u dont have to reboot. Just unplug it count to five and plug it back in. Give it 10 mins if the % increases then it will prolly charge to full. You need a good cord for sure anyways. If you ever try to use adams app or odin with a faulty cable all you will get is a big FU lol. I spent a few days chasing it like it was a bug. But really its just the cable. Or worse case your port is damaged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mwshows:
The Dude's problem is probably not cable related. I've had same issues. My ONLY real issue on this Rom, ever, has been charging issues. But I don't think it's ROM specific, I think I developed problems switching kernels back and forth between saber and perseus. Clean flash from scratch always fixes it.

As with every other person on here.... My phone, his phone, your phone.... They all react different every time we flash. My phone hates every kernel except for 3: stock/beans/perseus. I mean it hates the rest bad lol.

I've got expensive cables, cheap cables, cables I keep around as spares, cables I've bought just to have more cables (you can never have enough USB cables in my view). The likelyhood of all of them being bad at the same time is... Well unlikely.

I've seen people on here with problems I've never, ever experienced using Beans ROMS. That's the weird thing about technology.... What seems an obvious fix to some of us, does not work for all of us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimjk1968:
I've been running b20 since about 30 minutes after release. All of the sudden today I'm getting notified intermittently that my SD card is been removed. Before I think it's my phone is there anything else it could be. SD card itself failing? This is the first issue I've had that is kinda really freaking me out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
So I reloaded 19 and it has the same issue. ...???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Colchiro:
There's been a bunch of posts of Sandisk SD cards failing, especially when in Samsung devices. First, I'd back it up, and never insert or remove while your phone is powered up.

Secondly, contact Sandisk (if that's who made your card) and see if they'll replace it. Newer cards should have a fix for it.

The problem is the card gets disconnected and burns itself up trying to reconnect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
It's probably the card dying. That's normally what happens. You can try formatting the card in your pc and see if that helps. Sometimes that can solve it, but most likely it's dying.

Intermittent dropped calls... On the last few version of jelly beans when I answer a call or make a call it immediately drops the call. It's not a network issue and I always do clean installs. Anyone else experiencing this? Any resolution? R

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
No bugs and no issues at all. Beans rom build 20 is awesome fast and smooth. Great battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidmakespwn:
Nothing like that but fairly often my phone will go black and I can only turn it back on using a battery pull. Similarly I lost internet and could only get it back restarting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spaghetti2514:
While it's pretty likely to be that the card's dying, do make sure to try less rash methods of fixing it first like reseating the sd card before you actually try formatting it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimjk1968:
Well I had to do something rash. I formatted it from my computer. I think I'll still go buy a new one tomorrow anyways because I think that it will just start doing it again. Best buy has a pretty good sale on a San disk 32gb for 29.99 I think that's pretty decent. Thanks for your help. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] npainter7:
Can't complain with the battery life I'm getting out of B20 faux kernel stock battery no OC. I love it :) mostly on WiFi but so what
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spaghetti2514:
That's pretty high for a 32GB sd card in my book, especially for a sale.

Just a quick look on Newegg is showing a 32GB Sandisk microSD card with an included micro to normal SD card converter and a USB SD card reader for $23.25 with free shipping.

Then again that's a whopping savings of like $6 lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimjk1968:
The $6.00 isn't worth the wait. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] streetracer8605:
Why not just contact Sandisk since they have a warranty?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BladeDreams:
I agree. Lifetime warranty as long as no physical damage...through sandisk. ;)

However... reading his next post...doesn't want to save $6ish dollars and have to wait for 2 day ship....

I'd buy the one at Newegg and still send back to sandisk for the FREE replacement. ..

GPS Issue

Anyone having trouble with GPS in 20?

I did a clean install of 20 and am having major GPS problems. Constantly while using Google Maps I am getting "GPS signal lost" which gets annoying really fast, especially when she is talking over music or audiobooks, and the maps stop updating position until lock. Then it has to recalculate the route.

I did go into settings and set the GPS Quick Fix to North America. I also have all of Verizon Location Services, Standalone GPS and Google Location services active, as well as of course GPS and WiFi on.

Everything worked perfectly using 19.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cej7122:
Did you try...

Settings - custom settings - custom app settings - GPS Quick Fix...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] minazaki:
Don't forget Best Buy will price match Amazon now. Only caveat is that it can't be a third party seller. Must be actually sold/fulfilled/shipped by Amazon. Looks like you can save yourself $5 and avoid the wait.

Compass problem in car

So If I get near my car (running or off) my compass goes wonky. If I get near my car by more than 5 feet it starts acting up. When I'm in the car as I move the phone right to left and back the compass rotates as if there was a huge magnet in my dash. (no new changes to my car). In the house or outside it's fine... once I reset the calibration, again. GPS is fine. Seems like it happened about the time Google Maps updated? But definitely something went wrong in the past week.

I am running 20, but have tried:

1) going back to 19 (didn't fix the issue),

2)reinstalling 20 clean and dirty without improvement.

3)Tried a couple of compass apps and GPS Status. In GPS Status as long as I have "Lock to GPS speed" enabled, the compass is correct when moving, BUT in Google Maps the indicator shows me driving backwards or sideways. Only useable way to navigate is with "North Up" setting.

WTH?

HELP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Time to sweep for bugs on your car lol

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

Yep this is what I did the other day no questions asked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
AND

Using Smart Compass it shows the "magnetic field" and the value ranges mid 40s to 50s, but near the car the value drops to the teens at certain points. It even jumped into the 100's at one point.

Compass needed to be reset.

Checked a couple other vehicles in the parking lot and some "older" vehicles didn't effect the compass, but other newer ones did the same thing to the compass reading and magnetic field values.

I don't mess around with anything too complex in beans. Using the defult kernal, no custom DPI, Xposed mods, nothing.

Nobody else is talking about this issue with Beans, so I would guess its some other setting or code that got messed up. I have not switched to other ROMs or even gone back to stock. Just Beans updates.

You would think restoring an older build or a clean install would fix these issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
That's weird I'm not sure how to help you. I did just check my car (2013 model), it didn't mess up my compass at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
It might just be a hardware issue in general.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
Ya, the more I think about it I might have to restore to stock and return it.

But considering how many days it took me to work up the courage to root my phone, I don't know when I'll be able to try a restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineM3:
Hey fellas....seriously, what is up with this media service battery drain?!? I've used the fix under the custom settings but feel like it doesn't do anything. Are there no other options to help alleviate the battery drain?

For starters, how does one use the fix in the first place.....just open "app menu" and let it do its thing and that's it? How long does the "fix" last? Does it need to be cleared away after some time like RAM?

Any input would be greatly appreciated as I'm loving the ROM and been on it since build 17 but battery life has suffered recently
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] repsol_23:
I know exactly what you mean. Took me about 3 days to finally work up the nerve to root. Lucky for me it was a one and done deal at the time but if I had to go back to stock I would be nervous all over again. Good luck. Hope all goes well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimjk1968:
I'm going to buy the one from best buy and it's not a San disk I have its a pny. I found there number online. I'm going to attempt a warranty replacement and see where that goes. If not I'll be covered for $6.00 extra dollars. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Also make sure to reset flash counter
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twiztidvandal417:
When I had a gs3 it had the same bug, I would manually stop it and never had battery drain from it. Thats always an option you can try. Usually shows up as media in running apps. Just force stop it and see if that works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
GPS Issue

Yes, as I said in the original post, Quick Fix is set to North America (with root access), Verizon Location Services, Google Location Services, and Standalone GPS Services checked on. GPS and WiFi are on.

I also notice that the location is not updating anywhere else in the device, the weather on the Clock has the wrong location, Google Now is telling me how long to get home, when I am sitting at home and have been here for over 15 hours.

I have rebooted since the original post, still not updating to correct current location.

This has been going on since installing 20 and/or the new Google Maps, which came out about the same time. However, I don't know that the updated Google Maps would affect the TouchWiz clock/weather widget from obtaining location updates.

Lastly, I did perform a clean install of 20, I always do a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
trying clearing maps data... use gps status to make sure you're actually getting a lock so we can narrow it down to an app problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkey10120:
Are you using sabre kernel? I had that same issue and had to faux to fix it. I ran sabre in 19 and 20 and it happened a lot. Until I realized it was the kernel after I flashed 20 it still happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
Cleared the data. Installed GPS Status. I watch the screen, it locks 12/20 13, 15, 18... screen blanks and then 0, 3, 5, 12,... Then went to searching for GPS and was searching for like 5 minutes. Not moving, just sitting at home testing, no settings changed or anything, just watching the satellites come and go.

now it is taking forever to lock on. attaching photos...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
I get very poor reception indoors.

How does it work outside?

I thought mine worked inside when I first got it. (Can't remember for sure) Then I installed beans and never had gps indoors, only outside.

Hey guys been a while..

Since last 2 updates I've been having problems with music stuttering, pandora - music player.

With Headphones it like does a Stutter.. ( Restarting phone fixes for a while)

When I plug it into the car AUX Cable.... It stutters too, but sometimes, when I turn it up on the phone, it will play then like Pause. And the sound level on the phone defaults back down to normal *half way. ( Restarting phone fixes for a while)

Any ideas?

Im on pers kernal. SD conversion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] billku:
I think I must be mis-remembering this, but is there a "quiet hours" setting somewhere on the ROM? Can't find it, and I could have sworn it used to be there.

Also, is there a tablet mode (with tabs) for the stock browser, and what DPI settings are needed to activate it?

Is there a list anywhere for optimal settings for different apps to enable tablet mode? I haven't been able to find one yet.

Thanks!

Battery

Hey, so after I updated to version 20 my battery doesn't charge on the stock charger very well, it's been going on since the 25th when I updated. I at first did a dirty flash (as per usual) and noticed it, I then completely wiped my phone and kept it wiped and still have the same problems. Just last night alone I plugged it in at 50% power and I just woke up after 8 hours and it was at 82%. I am truly lost as to what to do. Help please?

If I do a install with no sdswap it installs fine. Got a 64 gb sdcard formatted to fat32. Does it need to be formatted differently? Also does it need to be blank when doing this?

GPS Issue

I have never had problems, ever, indoors or out. The issue is of outdoor concern, when navigating, "she" (the voice) is constantly saying GPS Signal Lost. Which really gets annoying when listening to music or audiobooks while driving somewhere that I need nav.

I have on several occasions now missed turns because she is sleeping. When she does wake up starts talking nav directions all over the place because she doesn't know where she is. Then recalculates and it seems like as soon as I am on course again, GPS Signal Lost.

As I also said before, this never happened in 19 or earlier. But also, there is the new Google Maps. But after installing GPS Status it shows GPS connecting and disconnecting and reconnecting constantly.

That would be outside, while using Navigation. It loses signal, announces "GPS Signal Lost" then when it reacquires it has to recalculate. It has done this on several occasions and I have missed turns because she is "sleeping" waiting for acquisition.

I never had this issue with <20 versions.

I want to believe it is the addition of Fast Fix, which I had never seen previously. Is there a way to disable that feature?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I've been having this problem for at least the last few builds. Probably since around 17, but not completely sure. I figured it was a problem with the Verizon 4.1.2 update. Did you say you had it working fine on other ROMs, just not this one? If so, were they Verizon based builds? Should maybe add this problem to the Google Docs page.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kantaris:
I'm going to try to get this installed for my wife, I have titanium backup pro and have it do weekly backups on her phone.

However, after restoring the backup none of the notification sounds were set to what they were.

Is that something that the ROM does not allow? Can notification sounds only be done through the system menu and not restored?

She was on a Touchwiz phone (cleanrom) if that is why
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
That happens to me on all ROMs.

I believe it's due to the sdcard not mounting fast enough. To fix it, I copy my ringtones and notifications to /system/media/audio.

When you guys are talking bad battery what are you talking? I get 14hrs 4 1/2 hrs screen on. FAUX balls out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
It's it lot better to just ignore the battery talk. Everyone is different. I consider my battery life good on work days if I get an hour of screen time and have 30% left when I leave. There are too many factors. I have very little signal at work. People never show that part of their battery stats when they talk about how good or bad it is. And one persons "heavy use" will be completely different from a different persons. It would be a lot better if everyone would just quit talking about it. It just leads to more talk about which kernel should I use. Which is another thing people don't understand enough about. Most people that talk about kernels don't even know how to spell the word. Sorry. End of rant.
