This is going to sound crazy but ever since I've started flashing ROMs based on the 4.2.2 my camera app will disappear after some time. Like I can't access it via instagram or galleries. Even though it was fine when I initially flashed it. Happened to my Note 2 and my Galaxy Player.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
That's pretty common actually; especially if you are on a 4.2.x custom ROM. I'm gonna go ahead and guess you may be using the latest SlimBean ROM to stay on the bleeding edge of Android os on your Note 2. If this is the case (even if you're not on SlimBean but a similar ROM) you'll notice you've lost a lot of bloatware as well as other relatively important features of your phone (eg. multiwindow, glance view, s pen/note). That is the cost for operating on a custom ROM based on a 4.2.x build which isn't even officially available for your phone yet.

The good news is, you're not alone hence many people have found solutions around this already. It can range from flashing a particular zip for the camera functionalities to work properly again or even changing your kernel can fix the problem. You simply have to visit the forum thread of whoever's ROM you're using and thoroughly read everything the dev has said. If you still can't find an answer, read the posts of others have tested the ROM. Chances are, many of them have dictated exactly what to do to fix little issues like yours as they have experienced it themselves.

Good luck...

How can i update a rooted N7105's firmware without losing all data/settings/apps?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Flash firmware using odin and reroot. Or flash using mobile odin while keeping root.

When im trying to get into recovery (pressing vol up home and power button ) samsung galaxy gt-n7100 text just blinks so wheres the problem ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
1. To enter recovery mode, first ensure that you actually have a recovery programme installed (whether is be CWM or TWRP).

1.5. If you are running a custom ROM, holding the Power button and then selecting Restart can often give a choice to reboot into recovery mode.

2. Assuming you are on Stock, or the option does not exist, you have to press the combination you mentioned (volume up + power + home) until the splash screen of the Galaxy Note 2 appears and continue holding them for a second or two just for good measure before letting go. Only then does the phone enter recovery mode.

3. Let me know if that worked for you.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoBmiKx:
No it didn't work when i release the buttons samsung blue logo comes and device just turn on i have cwm recovery installed , im trying to unroot , i installed stock rom but device status is modified so im trying to use triangle away and when its booting ,battery off and then im trying get to recovery to wipe data but it wont go ... or is there another way to get the device status normal ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
There is a thread specifically related to changing your device status so have a look at that. I think it was in the genera forum. Can't be sure though.

As for getting into recovery, flash cwm again and try?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
As xcly said correctly, you could try flashing CWM again and try to enter recovery mode again. However, provided you back up any important data on your phone, you may as well just follow this guide to revert right back to your original stock ROM so you have a chance of starting over again afresh and this time you know which mistakes not to make.

Best wishes...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
Could be the Wi-Fi or Mobile Data icon... Perhaps check if the icon disappears if you toggle your Wi-Fi or Mobiile Data on/off... (or, very unlikely, it could be an icon for Sound being enabled... Really depends on your ROM/Theme you're using...)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmcboltaction:
It is neither of those. I have tried shutting off everything I can think of. All I have done to modify the phone is dl spb shell 3d. I am pretty sure the icon was there before that.

Verizon/Samsung Galaxy Note II update issues.

I did search on this topic, and nothing seemed to come up. I'm a noob, and have rooted my Galaxy Note II. Lately however, Verizon is trying to push an OTA update which refuses to either work or stop interupting the operation of my phone. It regularly and often shows a notice saying that Verizon wants me to update. I'm happy with my phone other than this and don't feel I really need an update. Can anyone either suggest how to stop the notification or enable the update without causing problems due to the phone's rooted state?

Thanks much,

B
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesertHawk:
I do not have a Verizon phone so im going out on assumptions here. Looking for either software update or something going along that sort of direction in manage apps / all. Then force close that app. Let me load up a VW ROM on my Note II and quickly check.

In UK we have one called software upgrade use that and force close it... however if you have one specific to Verizon Wireless force close it and untick notifications.

~ Taylor_Swift
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam5154:
go to settings/about device/software update and uncheck everything.

and while you're there check the android Version as well., g yore phone came with android 4.1.1 it's better to update. security bugs and possible treats to hardware are fixed from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2

P.S. you're rooted and getting OTA notifications? and we are talking now it is impossible.:banghead::confused:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
So, uh, clearday reminded me about XDA app on the phone (I normally use my laptop)... So I started browsing the forums on that... And it turns out that:

1. Emoticons like :thumbup: actually shows up as the image on the app; instead of just the plain text as on my laptop.

2. Gifs are converted to still images and with terrible viewing resolution on the phone; as opposed to full viewing pleasure on my laptop.

3. I don't know where to surf XDA anymore...

I want to go back to stock recovery .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Just find an odin-flashable stock recovery and you should be fine. You need to let go of the buttons as soon as you see the N7105 logo on the screen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam5154:
Just extract cwm.ask from zip file you flashed and copy it in /system/apps on your phone. Then fix its permissions.(rw-r-r like other apps in that folder) After a reboot you would have cwm app back, no need to flash anything again.

And btw, that key combination should work even on stock recovery and it's not depended on any app or kernel or recovery.

shv-e160l

Yes using the Korean variant...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
I thought there was something wrong with the firmware. It's Gingerbread for Note 1 U+ variant. Make sure you know exactly what model you're using and download the correct E250 firmware. For SKT it's E250S, KT it's E250K and for U+ it's E250L. SKT KT and U+ are the three Korean network providers. Each have their own variant for each Galaxy model.

SKT and KT are somewhat compatible but U+ is not so make sure you find the right one. Didn't the year 2010 in the firmware name give it away for you? Flashing the correct firmware should revive your phone.

Since you won't be able to know what model it is, SKT has four squares with "4g lte" on the back cover, KT has a weird "o" and U+ has "u+ lte". Make sure you DO indeed have a Note 2 though :)

Click on the network provider and you should be able to see the gallery for each one.

Continued update troubles

<Break>

You and Taylor_Swift are both correct. I am running 4.1.1 rooted, but stock and intend to update when I have the phone configured the way I want. However, that's low-priority as I have a pretty good security suite and don't engage in risky behavior with my phone.

I have an "about phone" under settings, and Software update, but Software update offers no possibility for unchecking anything.

Any other suggestions/advice?

[Q] About status 0 error

I've got the note 2 in Japan (SC-02E), and I'm trying to cook up a custom rom via dsixda's Kitchen.

I'm using a stock firmware .tar, and everything goes through no problem, and I get the output rom, just rooted (insecure boot.img, and superuser), and busybox installed.

I've extracted the updater-script and edited the mount points from "MTD" to "ext4", "EMMC", pointing to the dev/blocks/ to reflect what other custom ones have for system, and boot. I replace the old updater with this new one.

When I go to flash in recovery (I'm using twrp) I get a status 0 error for the zip image.

I've checked what status 0 could be and both of the above are what are mentioned and have been changed. Is there anything else that I'm missing? Do I need to change the update-binary as well? If so from where? The closest to ours is the international 7105, should I use a binary from a custom ROM from one of these.

Thanks to anyone who can help with this?

Memory issue?

Hi and thanx for this helpful thread.

Here is my issue:

Recently, after downloading some big (memory-wise) apps and games, my 16gb Note2 (int,version,stock rom) was left with about a gig of free memory.

Ever since, (maybe a coincidence,I dont know, thats why I ask) hd videos on youtube, keep buffering all the time.

This ofcourse is tested on the same router always. (home)

Does memory have anything to do with this??? Does youtube use the main memory to buffer or is that a stupid thing to ask? :)

Coincidentally, this problem appeared apart from my memory being filled, when I updated the AllShareCaste Dongle S/W Update which does mess with wifi as some say on the net.

Is any of these facts connected?

Also the behavior, is not stable. For ex. just now, I opened youtube and watched an hd vid, just fine, only buffered very shortly before starting.

Then I went to the next vid, and it buffered like crazy. Then I went back to the one that played perfectly a few minutes ago and it also buffered like crazy!!!!! I think I will go crazy with this issue!!!! :eek:

Any advice? Ideas? Suggestions?

Ps. I did restart the rooter once, made no difference.

Ps2.I connected a laptop to the same wifi to test hd video playback (from youtube again) and had no issues with buffering.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v-b-n:
Have you checked the Router using any other device for this behaviour ?

Also, some youtube videos do take time to buffer depending on the server it gets the video from (so maybe coincidental)

Lastly, before starting Youtube try clearing all running apps and see if any difference (You can also do a speedtest after all your games, etc to see the router's performance)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Hayabusa:
Thanx a lot for your reply.

Tried all that you mentioned.

This device had no issues with ram before even if I had multiple apps running in the background.

Until now, I must admit the note2 had the most impressive ram handling I have ever seen on a mobile device. And I've had almost ALL the high end devices, believe me.

Never had to close apps for anything(!) before this issue appeared.

But just for conversation sake, I tried that also, no result.

Thanx though.
