[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Really. I know people love to say this but really in what way is your phone different from mine except in my installation process, kernel choice, installed apps, and settings? And given that how is your issue not addressable by identifying differences in your choices from those without the issue?

Also as for many reporting this issue... Maybe if 3-4 is many.

This may sound stupid.. but how do I get out of Odin mode? I installed Casual (successfully followed this guide) and ended up on the screen to install / modify etc. but I hadn't yet put a ROM on my SD card. So, I rebooted my device and dropped the Jelly Beans B17 on my SD card. Then, when i restart and boot into recovery (power, down, home) it pretty much only takes me to Odin mode. How do I get back to Casual as I don't want to use Odin to install roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
UP home and power to recovery :D

haha derr. thanks. God, I knew that too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
If your using a international version note on a vzw rom or vice versa some small number of devices have a unknown hardware difference. Scott I know and a few others put a good amount of time into researching it. He put out a fix that helped some of the people having the issue. But not all. Thats not to say some of them are not user error. But as u can imagine it would be quite frustrating to hear over and over its not a issue. But on that note the fixes that are available is all that there will be. All you can do at this point is hope in the next ota u might get it working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Yes but I trend to operate with the thought that those here have a vzw note 2 due to it being a vzw note 2 forum and thread. Maybe I shouldn't. But if someone's phone isn't an i605 I would except it to be mentioned.

Ya ive had 4 different notes from.beans.15 to now with three different kernels and it's done it on all of them...I'm lost, tried everything I can think of..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zombieplanalpha:
Odin back to stock and see if the GPS lock gets better. I had a weird issue with my S3 during development with the beans ROM and that's how I ended up fixing it. Went back to stock and then basically started over but started with build 15 (last JB build for S3) and that seemed to work. I always use stock kernel or saber.

I don't have any insight as to why that worked other than reverting to stock can verify there is no hardware issues. Also if you have had 4 phones I am assuming they have been warranty replacements which are always garbage remanufactured phones. If you have tried everything else it might be worth the time to just go stock and then start over.

Also you are NOT enabling verizon location services right? That was a common issue on the S3

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BRosenow:
+1 - I have always wondered how devices that were built on an assembly line with identical parts could be so different, as people claim! Sure, once you root them and install different modems, kernels, ROMs and software you start to get user-imposed differences . . . but out-of-the box they are (essentially) identical.

As I got back to l.a I noticed my gps location got better, but after reading this latest post I went ahead and checked to make sure Verizon location services was checked off and it wasn't and it has made a significant difference in lock time now. I want to thank everybody who sounded off on the subject and for your input.

Loving beans 17 btw, missed flashing a custom ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] infinit22:
Anyone having a problem with backup assistant not restoring photos or videos?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
We like to think so. But unfortunately parts for the assembly line are bought from the cheapest bidder. And if a cheaper alternative comes along then they start throwing them in. Its like the emmc brick bug. All depends on what emmc chip is in there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
It is just one of those phrases used more and more to explain how a person's device is doing something that they can't explain any other way when they are not willing to admit that it is more likely then not their failure to follow directions that is the cause.All of a sudden it must be an unexpected way in which the custom ROM is interacting with their unique hardware. Ignoring the fact that the stock ROM is also cookie cutter of course. after all why let logic into this. It couldn't be their unique software of course because they did a cache and data and internal memory wipe and clean install just like they were advised to do before posting about any problems. (of course they didn't do those things).And of course they read every post on the thread for the last 2 builds at least before asking (of course not). Are there sometimes minor differences in hardware? Possibly. Though in most cases not in any way that would be affected by the ROM. Maybe a different manufacturer of a given chip but that chip would still be the same base type generally. There are always exceptions sure. But those are rare and not the rule. I am not saying that it is impossible for an issue to be hardware based. Hell you could have a hardware malfunction! Just that in general it is highly unlikely and out of balance with how often we see the phrase used.

Brought to mind are all of the people with GPS issued that they caused themselves because when they first opened maps instead of reading the message that popped up, clicking settings, and enabling location in google maps, they dismissed the window. Then they couldn't figur eout why they couldn't get a lock even though in the phone's settings location was enabled!

Or the people who post about their lockups and FCs on build 15 or 16 without reading a single one of the previous 20 pages of posts pointing out that those builds (or was it just 16 I forget) were buggy and not to install them.

Or the many people who don't realize what the battery bar is because they didn't read the OP.

Or the many people who don't know why their signal bars are not blue.

The list goes on. I don't mind answering questions. Most here don't. But there is a basic expectation I think. I am not one of those guys that is going to tell you to run a search for your answer. But I do hope it wasn't answered on one of the last 2 pages of posts or on the OP. I do hope that you at least tried to find the answer by looking through your phones settings. I do hope you paid attention and read any popup you may have gotten on your phone after a new ROM install and I do hope you didn't install that new ROM without reading the OP and any posts on the thread posted since that ROM went up to familiarize yourself with what you were getting into. Oh, and I hope you have a backup.

Except with chips that's not always the case. There are millions of transistors on one chip. The transistors are so tiny that a few nanometers difference in space between a pair, or a few extra parts per million of impurities in the silicon, or all kinds of things can have a drastic effect on the heat it can handle, the voltage it leaks, the quality of its signal, etc. I had an evo shift two phones ago. My first shift would boot loop if overclocked anything above 1000 KHz (stock was 800). Warrantied for a "bad" GPS, and I could then click to 1800 like some others. There were still people who could not get above 1200 or 1000, and some people got it to over 2000. Vastly different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAL_Fan:
1st lock up on build 17 happened yesterday evening. I had just turned on NFC and S-Beam and was attempting to send a file and I got a lock up that required a battery pull. Mind you this is my first time using it on any beans rom so I don't know if it was different on earlier builds but regardless. After I put the battery back in I tried it again and it worked flawlessly, multiple times. I also had a random superuser request for radio and I accepted but it kept coming up, though it did not return after I cycled power. Everything else has been flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
That is also a vastly different thing then having different hardware. That is having faulty hardware. Not the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] termleech:
Yep FYI foe anyone wondering how a cpu is clocked. Basically they come off the assembly line and the highest clock rating it can achieve with stability is how it's marked for laptop and desktop cpu. For phones the cpu has a minimum clock speed but generally can achieve more. However because cpu are not all the same some can achieve higher than others. If you read up on cpu manufacturing you'll find that things like solar events can affect a cpu during manufacturering. It's actually pretty interesting.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danaff37:
It's not faulty hardware, it's a difference in hardware. These things have ranges of acceptable quality not an exact definition. And when you start tweaking everything, some can hold up, and some can't. That's the way it is.

And I know GPS is one of those things from dealing with a couple of buddies' captivates back in the day. One was flawless, one had trouble on anything but stock. Same Rom, kernel, etc. Drive me crazy.

Any sensor has that potential to be different. As a former automotive technician, that's why car computers learn values as it's driven, and why on some older cars gas mileage and transmission shifting take a hit after replacing a battery until it learns again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
Of course! It's not like this weekend I just went out and spent $35 on a 32GB Sandisk micro sd already lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Yes, if you have two pieces of hardware, one working without trouble and the other faulty. You are right. That is a difference in hardware. I guess you and I would say we have different tolerances for what is acceptable quality :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
Not worth the hassle at this point. Oh well. It's only money that I had to spend a second time because my first card went belly up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danaff37:
Not really, us and manufacturers do. That shift pissed me off, but I couldn't take it back and say it wouldn't overclock high enough for me.

And my main point is I couldn't blame the Rom/kernel/developer for any of my aforementioned problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
yeah that is why I bought one of the 64gb ones. As both a backup to my main one and as a card for my Note 8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:

Anyone having a problem with their data connection. I lost my data connection the other day. I flashed beans 17 again and did a clean install. Did not even restore anything with titanium.

Anyone know how to fix this, aside from flashing again? My build.prop isn't modded, but I do have dpi set to 240. However changing it back does not fix it and using this layout was fine since build 16 when I started using this rom.
