Yeah very stable. But not great with headsets, even wired ones. Wouldn't switch to them except under very specific circumstances. Also audio during a call (for me at least) was very low. The other party could hardly hear me and they were quiet to me as well. You can see my posts about it (probably already have) there.

I got it to "work" but the problem it's I have to enable, disable, enable, disable etc..New flash so far actually fixed my Pandora so this sucks this issue came up, finally thought is have the perfect phone

I asked earlier but just a standard reply, before I send it back I wanna do the cleanest of flashes..

So should I go stock, root, beans..or is wiping everything and just flashing beans found to let me know if my phone is bum or not

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
I would do the following.

1) Save a copy of 17 to external sd

2) Manually backup the contents of your data and media folders to be safe

3) Boot into recovery and do a full backup of all partitions to external memory to be safe

4) Wipe cache, davlik, data, system, and internal memory

5) install b17 go through aroma and select the options you want.

6) Boot up, goto settings first and then location make sure everything is checked except verizon

7) Launch maps when the window pops up hit the button for settings and turn on location for google apps.

If it works you can restore your nandroid if you want to get all your data back. But your question will have been answered.

Now go outside and see if you get a hit. If you don't then download a GPS app and see if it shows any raw GPS data. This will help you to know if your phone has an issue. Because any phone that is an i605 following these steps should have gps without any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
I'm not going to go back and quote all the things that have been said on this subject already.

Yes, it would be nice to see a quick hello from Beans, but it's not necessary. There is a reason that there is a spreadsheet for stuff. That way when he does come on here he can easily see what's been found or requested. At this point there are enough "experts" on here that if any of us has an issues, odds are someone other than Beans has been able to help out. (fast_dormancy anyone?)

Personally, I'm just waiting on the Note 3 to come out. And then I'll get his undivided attention again :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Thanks can I use tibu? I've never done a backup through recovery though I'm sure I can figure it out..weird because just using stand alone,then with new maps having google apps allowed always worked....

Now we have to have all these things on,hope it doesnt affect battery. I can live with it using maps but when gps is enabled and I turn on run keeper I want it to work...Thanks for your guidance

Also to everyone with the Pandora issue, install beans without ad blocking,using ad away it's worked flawlessly so far...dirty flash will be fine....cheers

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
I can't believe anyone would doubt Beans. Dude has done a ton for this community and it'd be completely understandable if he did leave this phone behind. Full-time job and an S4? I would...

But he didn't. He let us know it'd be quiet for a while and you know he'll be back soon. Now I can't speak for Beans, but I know I'd be a little miffed if I came to my thread and saw pages of people doubting my integrity.

Until Beans comes in here and says he's done with the N2 - stop assuming he is. Assumptions are deadly. He's still around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
No one said he is done with it or doubted him. No one doubted his integrity. Seriously what is up with all the people who can't read simple posts.

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Tibu will backup your apps but it wont give you a full backup you can return to if you want to. that is the benefit of backing up in the recovery utility. It is a backup of the entire state of your phone and you can revert to that point in time easily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Agree 100% except my friends have an s4 and I'll take the note 2 any day...funny we were playing cards last night and one was like man this thing is gorgeous might take back my S4...wouldn't keep his grubby mitts off of it lol

Even my gf whos iphones all the way wants one and wants me to jb her phone until.her upgrade..I love this thing

Jelly beans 13 with Perseus kernel banging note 2 i-605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I would do exactly the same but get a GPS fix before wiping. It may be voodoo but some people swear by it, and it won't hurt.

I think HughesNet meant do a full backup in recovery. Backup whatever you need to in TiBu, but do a backup in recovery prior to flashing anything new. TiBu backups and recovery backups are two completely different processes.

Edit: Meh. I just read his follow up post lol

Is anyone having an issue with the 'Stay awake' (screen stays on when charging) option in the development menu under settings? I've found that this works for a time, but inevitably unchecks itself. This has been a consistent problem for several builds.

I'm currently running the latest build and it has been cleanly installed.

So what's the best battery monitor app? My battery seems to be draining a bit more than usual and would like to see if it's a specific app on my phone. I've seen people post screenshots of an app more than once but can't seem to find it on the Play Store. Thanks.

Installed from cleanrom. Battery was draining fast and the battery manager said it was the downloads app. so I disabled it and its components (can still download). When I installed the rom there was no option in aroma for sense recents or aosp lock screen, anyone know why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
Have you wiped internal and external sd's. I was having all sorts of issues about a month ago. After wiping both everything has been much smoother on any rom. I only restored what I needed. Mostly pictures and uccw zips. Its amazing how much crap is on there that you dont need.

I will also say that I never have any luck with saber kernel and voodoo sound. The kernel ramps up to high levels to fast for me and is too slow going into deep sleep. My battery is considerably worse on saber. Im using jedi now and the first thing I did was replace saber with perseus. Plus I like that I can increase the charging rates and increase the volume levels for in the car.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Are you running at a custom DPI? If so that is why. Personally I never would do that on the system level. I do it on a per app level and never have this issue.

What files are you talking about? Need some context. Do you have TWRP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
Anyone with play store issues - just edit your build.prop back. Google it first - risky territory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
???

If you are talking about Titanium Backup, then backup your user apps.

If you are talking about recovery, use the "backup" option. In TWRP, it is a huge "Backup" button. In CWR, it is "backup and restore"

How do you guys backup and restore your files?

No need anymore. Doing the dirty flash :D

I used to use titanium, but found that the recent updates to rom toolbox pro are awesome. I do keep a backup using rom toolbox pro for just in case purposes.

EDIT Just realized you were talking about a full nandroid backup. In that case use TWRP to make a backup. Screw something up messing around, just restore the backup

I'm still confirming; however, so far no skips running ad block installed through aroma using Perseus.

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

It sounds like you used aroma and chose sd card swap? I did the same, then I deleted all the files on my phone's memory (which now looked like sd storage) and everything is good to go. I don't see why you would reflash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beddess:
Test with better battery stats app maybe?

Edit : lol, saw the post right above this. Alright then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
Dirty flashing from anything before 16 is definitely an "at your own risk" scenario. This is now on the 4.1.2 base and anything on a different base is riskier on a dirty flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] grimloktt:
So, I was having problems with Pandora and decided to flash Perseus kernel. Before flashing, I confirmed sd swap was successfully working. Not sure if it was the Perseus direct zip install but sd swap no longer on...internal memory back to 16. Thoughts? Was I supposed to install through Aroma to keep sd swap?!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
From the OP

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390288116658473830

I would suggest dirty flashing the same version you are on now and selecting allt he same options you picked last time but changing the kernel there rather then installing the kernel from the link though. It is possible the one in the v17 build is newer then the one he has a direct link to in his repository. IE optimized for the new modem or 4.1.2

thanks :)

thanks :) appreciate it

LOL

soon enough

rom toolbox is def whats up one of my most used apps

this is correct. none of the custom kernels have updated to the new 4.1.2 vzw "source" yet

Hell yeah!!

i have never heard or seen this happen did it work itself out?

me either i thik it could be network related verizons network has been horrid the last couple weeks. even on s3,s4,note2, iphone 4s, iphone 5 everyone has been having problems

weird maybe network related..? i honestly didnt think cdma had "fast dormancy" i will look into it though

thanks and i look forward to keep beasting out the builds

basically these suggestions will fix gps issues, you can also try gps status in market and download agps data

very interesting imho

damn i missed it :/

might have to give faux a run :)

WOW thats ammazing im def stoked!!

lol i wouldnt doubt it haha

agreed verizon navigator is the dumbest thing EVER! that and vzw tones are the first two things i delete when "debloating"

if time persists i will, right now the device has just sat on my desk for a cpl month lol

did the international note get a 4.2.2 update? i dont see it anywhere correct me if im wrong though

im here :P

bruins have been murdering sh1t!

lol thats great!

nice to know. hmm i wonder what the actual culprit is

thanks :)

oh ya i have been working like 50-60 hrs a week

dont worry im here and the note 2 will never get abandoned.. s4 and note2 right now are my main prioritys

this + work i havent been able to be on the forum as much as i would like to be

this basically sums it up, and i think this is one of my biggest posts yet LOL

i would never leave you guys!! :)

hmm
