Also, u don't know if it's helpful but I have a 32gb SanDisk ultra installed. I will reformat it now. Running alogcat I so far all I see is an error about being unable to open trace file and a repeated error every minute of so saying that spans cannot have a zero length.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ohiwastedmylife:
Just got mine this week as well and experienced the random reboots. Mine was more due to large amount of processes running at once. It did it around 5 times but only when it was fetching multiple downloads from Play store. Yours is doing it for no reason while it is just sitting there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaPoets:
I had 2 random reboots day 1 of my phone and nothing since. I just chalked it up to gremlins.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akatcl:
Has happened listening to streaming audio but today rebooted once and froze once requiring a battery pull while just on Web (stock browser) or xda. The screen issues which seem to have gone away after factory reset were blinking/sparkling lines as screen refreshed and also earlier in the day an insensitive capacitive screen (the stylus worked fine). The sensitivity problem was first symptom but has not reappeared after wipe. A lot of the day I have the phone in my pocket with headphones plugged in but not necessarily in my ears so could have missed loss of reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
Take it back to vzw and get a new one. I'm using a sandisk 32gb microsd card and my phone doesn't reboot, but I don't see how a microsd card could cause random reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akatcl:
I don't see how either but searching other forums there was some indication that a bad card could cause otherwise unexplained problems so I thought I'd mention it. I swapped it for my wife's card anyway.

I just don't like the idea of swapping a new phone for a refurbished one which is presumably what they will try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
If you just bought it and return it to the store you got it from, I would think that they will give you a new replacement (assuming that they have inventory on hand). I can't imagine that there would be many refurbs in the channel yet anyway since the phone has only been available for 2 weeks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mi7chy:
No issue here with stock non-rooted. You can also try ODIN'ing the stock image before you resort to returning it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdmoore74:
No reboots for me. Does not matter if stock, rooted,bootloader unlocked with beans version 2 ROM and even overclocked to 1.8ghz using different kernal.

A good test is to factory reset and don't sign into Google upon reboot. Just play around with the apps that came on the phone. Maybe download a stress test App from the play store and let that sucker run for a few hours.

Edit:

I'm using a 64gig card and formatted it to Fat 32 to make it compatible with twrp recovery. Maybe just leave out your SD card to make sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akatcl:
It started behaving badly while running the steers test and also streaming audio, browsing Web, etc.

Attached is the battery usage plot and you can see it seems to have went from 30% battery to 15% then after putting it in the charger it started to charge normally then jumped back up to the level it should have been at. There is also an earlier smaller blip like this.

Maybe a problem with a power regulator? Think it's going back tomorrow.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akatcl:
It took a couple hours at the Verizon store but managed to walk out with a new replacement phone and new sim .

Hopefully the problem is gone though it occurs to me that I should have gone to a different store so at least there was a chance of our being from a different lot. Oh well.

Thanks all for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akatcl:
Just an update: still no problems on the new ( replacement) phone. First was just bad. I kept this stock for a week or so before unlocking. The first was completely unadulterated.

Running stock jb with s-off and root access. Is there anyway to prevent the frequent group from appearing in the messages app? I unchecked all the options for what gets dislayed and removed all users out if the group in the people app with no luck.

Bump :/
[Microsoft Surface] scottiepp:
Any calibration available on the touch cover keyboard?

I want to use even lighter pressure to type. I am often missing the "spacebar".
[Microsoft Surface] SimzzDev:
Me too. As far as I know only the touchpad is configurable. (search the store for 'touch cover' if you haven't seen this app)

I feel like I am pounding on the keys for it to recognize them.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
It actually requires extremely low pressure, less than most real keyboards. It feels different because nothing moves under your finger to let you know you've reached the required amount of pressure, but after typing on the touch cover for a while, going back to a physical keyboard feels like going from a keyboard back to a mechanical typewriter...

If you feel like you're having to press really hard for your typing to be recognized, either you're doing something wrong or the cover is defective. Make sure you can hear the Surface when typing (headphones help here in a noisy room); the audio feedback when you hit a key makes it clear how little is actually required for the Surface to recognize a keypress.

That said, the common problem is that the keys have to be hit somewhat precisely. No amount of pressure when your finger is just on the edge of a key will produce the result you want. Also, I find the positioning of the spacebar (more to the left than I'm used to on a laptop keyboard) to be annoying, although I'm getting used to it.
[Microsoft Surface] SimzzDev:
I also have noticed it being on hard surface is a much better typing experience than it being on your lap or similar.
[Microsoft Surface] tiny17:
I want ability to increase sensitivity to space bar. That's the only thin that doesn't work well when typing from lap.
[Microsoft Surface] je2345:
I just splurged and went and purchased the type cover from Best Buy since they are now in stock and I love it! Wish I would have never gotten the touch cover. Loved it's thinness and its other purpose of being a cover but I just couldn't type fast like I thought I would be able to. I can type sooo much faster on the touch screen itself over the touch cover. On that note I have a black touch cover for sale. Lol
[Microsoft Surface] scottiepp:
I guess the only downside on the Type Cover is when you fold it back and hold the surface the keyboard button gives you a weird feeling.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
The Touch Cover is also spill-proof (Type Cover is not), easy to clean (Type Cover, like all keyboards, will probably get a bit gross over time), and 3mm thick (Type Cover is 5mm). That said, yes, if you need serious typing power, the Type Cover is the way to go... but be prepared to trade some of the advantages for it.

I'm at a little over 30 WPM on the Touch Cover. That's better than half of what I get on my desktop, but I'd still much rather write a long mail or a program on a real keyboard (although muscle memory with the meta keys works surprisingly well on the Touch Cover).
[HTC Sensation] luxi4r:
I dropped my HTC Sensation a month ago, my replacement digitizer arrived a few days ago. The screen is working perfectly now, but I just realized that the microphone and front-facing camera aren't working at all.

I think I might have broken a cable or scratched something in the phone when I was replacing the screen. I don't really need the front-facing camera, but I need to fix the microphone. Is there a way to fix it other than replacing the hardware? (e.g. maybe this is a common issue but I just don't know about it?).

Also, if I get earphones with a microphone, will the HTC Sensation be able to use the mic?
[General Questions and Answers] GenSe7en:
I am an idiot and used the wrong toolkit. I have the Sprint version of the phone SPH-L710. I used the SGS3 International toolkit v6.0. I know I messed up, got excited and impatient. The phone goes to turn on showing SAMSUNG then turns off. How can I fix this issue?
[General Questions and Answers] a.cid:
Usually, a reflash of a stock image and a subsequent data wipe should do the trick...

Though this time, be sure to do your research well :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] jack765:
Just a warning

Your phone may be bricked, I would check the unbricking process (not always possible) before you continue
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
If it's bricked beyond what you can do with what you have available to you, take a look at

A) micro-usb jigs for the phone

B) JTAG services if even that fails

I play games and watch videos a lot and was wondering if someone recommended a stand to use with the note. I was thinking the otterbox case but its just to thick i had one on my s2 and yeah it was nice just very bulky and im careful with my phone so i have no worries of ruining it. If there are any other good full cases i would be okay with that but case needs a full screen cover. Any recommendations?

MICROSOFT anounced that an update is coming for marketplace after that you can install apps from sd of your phone...

this step has been taken because many of the people donot have cellular internet connection on their devices.....

good news for many without cards and without cellular internet connection

Play store doesn't have it and I'm wondering if anybody has a copy of it or where I could find it. Thanks on advance
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
This thread is no longer valid or necessary other than as a guide on how to use Odin. U.S. users that are bone stock should be able to apply the update via OTA or Kies. If anyone's having an issue they can install the U.S. JB ROM by using Odin to manually replace their current U.S. ROM with a completely new copy of the U.S. JB ROM.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Basically what you’re doing is replacing your current PDA (MD5) file with the U.S. 4.1.2 version that's just been released.

To install a ROM it's easiest to use desktop Odin. You can download Odin 1.85 here…

https://www.google.com/search?q=odin+1.85&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&ie=&oe=

Make sure you’ve got Kies installed on your PC because it installs the Windows drivers necessary for Odin to see your device.

Download the full and complete U.S. 4.1.2 JB ROM here…

http://hotfile.com/dl/189276711/f83...GT-N8013-XAR-N8013UEUCMA3-1357740396.zip.html

Unzip the file you downloaded. After it's extracted you should see an MD5 file. That's what you're going to install. Right-click on the Odin EXE file you downloaded and run it as administrator.

Put your device in to “download mode” by turning it off and then restarting it by pressing the power and volume down buttons at the same time. You should see an “are you sure?” message from Samsung. Accept it and your device is now in download mode.

Connect your device to your PC via USB. If the connection’s successful it should look like this…

Next, click on the PDA button and locate the file you extracted and then click start...

You’ll see the update’s progress in the message box in Odin and via a progress bar on your device. When Odin signal’s it’s finished disconnect your device and it will finish installing the new files.

That's it. Your N8013 is now running a fresh install of 4.1.2.

These are the directions I followed - many thanks!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GRS10:
So, it's confirmed that it won't affect the flash counter for sure? I'm thinking of using the All-Share Cast dongle in the future and it exhibits some strange behavior if the flash counter hasn't been reset...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jasonchewy91:
Will this work on n8000?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Yes it will work the same for all note models but you need to make sure have the firmware for that particular model.

No it will not change your count, you can install stock roms of any regions as many times you want it will not change the count.

Your count will change when you root it or install a custom rom you can easily reset the flash counter

It seemed so simple...followed instructions to the tee. I just got status 7 error. Failed when I tried to flash update.zip from external SD card. Now s note is fc every second. I might have to go return my tablet tomorrow :( any ideas or help? I am not new to flashing roms but I haven't ever seen this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Flashing OTA is always tricky, think you were flashing a zip file I would not recomend it.

Also make sure the OTA is for the same version an region as your rom is otherwise it will give you errors
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mikemod:
Did you download the N8010XXALI3 version or the N8010XXALGC version as there are two German versions in that list.

Not sure if that would make a difference.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
No need to return, go back into recovery and clear the cache. Then reinstall the update. Boot into your tab, it might be a bit laggy at first but let it sit for about 5 minutes DON'T TOUCH IT. Reboot the tab and it should be fine. I had a similar issue, my tab is now flying along. For any fc you get, go into the app and clear all the stored data. IF it continues uninstall and reinstall. Remember, you are going from ICS to Jelly Bean, some apps act differently in Jelly Bean.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Earthdog:
Just to be safe I assume I will be ok if I am rooted and dont have stock recovery. I will just have to reroot. Correct?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] KoRoZIV:
After you flash the German stock ICS with Odin you will get back the stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] neonplanet40:
When the official UK one comes out will it be easy to change to that if needed?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] KoRoZIV:
Yes. 2 options :

Download jb stock fw for your region from sammobile and flash with odin

Edit: assuming that you are from UK.

Well I'm currently updating to JB via sd card. However it has been on "Patching remaining system files" for about 15 minutes.

How long should it take?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] chart8006:
Mine seemed to take a few minutrs. After the progress bar on the tablet seemed to stop, I unplugged and held the power button down to reboot. Holding down the power button while holding volume up will eventually boot you into what is called recovery mode. You then select what you want to do by clicking vol up or down to select then push power button to proceed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] KoRoZIV:
Let it finish... even if you have to wait 30 min
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
Well, I stopped the fc by clearing s note data. Thanks for the help. I'm still stuck on ics though. When I try to flash update.zip it fails to get build.prop sector 7 or something. I transferred it around a little before installing - it could be corrupted. I am going to re download it directly onto my tablet and try again. Thanks everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.

Has anyone flashed the 4.1.2 rom for n8013? I am on 4.1.1 and id like to upgrade. Any issues? Can I just flash the 4.1.2 file in mobile odin?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hygradeb:
Hi

Can any one tell me after you did the update.zip install wat was the CSC code?

I have just reinstalled my update due to my tab shutting down a few apps like snote and having a few problems, I have been running this ok for sum time but now just seems to be giving me problems.

When the update had finnish I notice my csc was KOR is this correct or have I used the wrong files?

I did clear the keyboard cash, will I hope I did I went into settings and cleared it from there if this was the wrong process maybe that is were the prolem is.

If I did the wrong thing can you pls correct me.

Can any one that has updated to 4.1.2 on they 8010 give feed back. Is your tab working without any problems and how long have you been running the update?

I would not mine trying the 4.1.2 if all is ok, I see a few threads about this but not surd if it works on the 8010 or is it just for the 8000 tab.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Cylentz:
So I am thinking of trying this out. I have rooted my devices in the past, so I'm not a total noob at this kind of stuff, though I do see that I don't need root for this. But I am just wanting to make sure that I won't lose my apps + date on my device. I am mainly worried about my s note's that I have on the tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] zoomee:
Interesting! - so I managed to resolve the issue I had with snote showing headings in german only.

Looks like there is a difference between using the built-in reset and performing a reset from boot-up menus (recovery mode)

I had been performing a reset through the android options initially which did nothing but using recovery factory wipe cleared everything, including all sample notes etc. Bit wierd but never had a problem on any previous device performing a soft reset from within the OS.

just an FYI for you all. Bad news is all the sample files were lost (live-able!) but also the scrapbook refused to open, so I just deleted it. Finally I can carry on with using the device until we get a stock UK JB rom :good:

I was worried about that too so i just synced all my s-note files with google drive in case something went wrong. Did the installation on my 8013 (USA) and it went perfectly. Easily rooted with CWM method after. Everything was exactly as I left it down to the location of my apps on the homescreen and all app data.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hydrasworld:
I followed the instructions today (30/12/2012) and upgraded my unmodified N8010 (UK model - CSC BTU) and the upgradeseems to have gone OK.

The device status is still "official" in Settings -> About Device -> Status.

It's now running Android 4.1.1

SNotes shows english categories.

I don't seem to have lost any data.

I did notice my lock-screen icons went AWOL.

I was also able to use the ExFAT formatted 64gb MicroSDXC from my Galaxy Note II ok which means I don't have to resort to odd unsupported file system format for 64GB cards now! This was one of my two my main reasons for upgrading.

Thanks for the tutorial. I gave up waiting for samsung to release the official UK update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jmwils3:
How do I double check that my csc has changed correctly? It changed everything to german, until I changed languages in Settings to English (usa), which fixed that, but it still shows modified and won't let me even search for updates
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Earthdog:
Ihave the exact issue on US 8013
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JSale:
For those who want to check their CSC if you plug into your computer and open Kies it will tell you.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Dual_Everything:
Go into recovery by powering off then holding down power and volume up at the same time.

Then use the factory reset option in the recovery menu. This worked for me and I have a US 8013 as well.

My status now shows "official" and I can check for updates and the multishare cast dongle works too.

The factory recovery in the settings menu did not change the status but the one from recovery menu did.

Has anybody noticed a new 'feature'/bug in the browser after flashing the latest pda?

it consists of zooming in and out if you scroll/swipe up and down against the left and right edges of the screen. i have tried "show touches" in dev settings and only one touch is active at one time, also it is not present in gallery or chrome.

I personally find it annoying as i scroll at the extremities of the screen. Tell me what you think and if you have this too.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The same thing happened to me on an N8000 when I installed the first German JB ROM. I updated to the newer British ROM when it came out and they came back. Hoss_N2 changed his CSC on the original German ROM to the UK and they came back for him. So they are there but whether they appear or not seems tied to the ROM/CSC combination. When the correct ROM comes out (eventually) for your shipped CSC they should reappear.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
Oh ho.. just to make sure I understand this...

If you do this factory reset option in the recovery menu - it will restore your Note back to original state, regardless of which update you've applied and essentially undo the updates we're doing in this thread? So my 8013 running 4.0.4 which has been turned into a hobbled 8010 DBT running 4.1.1, will magically go back to being an unmofidied 8013 running 4.0.4?

That would be excellent news as I'm concerned as to how I'll get this back to being an unmodified 8013 when the time comes to upgrade OTA.

HA! It's not just me... actually it's if you swipe the 'scroll indicator'.. it was happening kind of randomly until I realised it was happening when I was trying to fast scroll by dragging on the scroll indicator...

That's.. actually a bad UI design... it mixes metaphors. The scrollbar indicator shows how far into the document you are - dragging the indicator should change your position in the document. It really has nothing to do with zoom...

Still, at least now I know it's an actual intentional feature. :)
