unable to play any media

Hi,

I'm not a noob, i flashed the hell out of my old galaxy s. recently i got a canadian variant of the galaxy nite 2. its working fine but sometimes ( twice or thrice a day) something just happens and my phone just stops playing any media file. the music player doesnt play any music ( doesnt support media file type) , the video player doesnt play any video. even youtube doesnt play any youtube video.

and mind you, everything works fine all the other times. usually i just restart the phone.but im sick and tired of all this.

so any of you has any idea whats wrong with my phone ? its still on 4.1.1 and im still waiting for the 4.1.2 update. havent rooted it yet.

any help would be very appreciated and if its just something general then ill patiently wait for the update or else i can get the phone changed.

thank you

volume turns on after restart (but muted before shutdown)

hi i hope someone could help out

whenever i turn my note 2 to vibrate/mute mode, and then restart the phone, the volumes turns back up on. now this does not happen during boot up but couple of seconds after the lock screen comes up and probably loaded some system settings

is there a setting which can turn this on/off or is this a software issue? not sure if there's an app that "controls" the volume to turn them on after a boot up but i don't think there is.

Question about the S-Pen

Hi all,

I'm using the custom ROM Omega, which I primarily chose because of the function it adds to MultiView and it's working great!

I would like to know if there is an option/app or development possible for the N7100 which gives the option to open a different app than S Note (Popup Note) when the S Pen is taken out.

Now you can activate or disable the option Open up Popup Note when you go to Settings/S Pen, but if possible I would like to open up for example GTasks instead of this.

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Hi All

Sorry for the noob question but I recently switched to perseus kernel and the charging time seems to have doubled! Takes about 6 hrs for a full charge. Changed to Redpill, still took 6 hrs. The changed to stock and it came down to 2.5 hours.

I like perseus but how do I decrease the charging time. 6 hours is killing me!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elai012488:
I really am close to killing myself due to sadness and disappointment because of my phone's battery life. lol. I have a Galaxy Note 2(4.1.1 ver) and my battery lasts for 12-16 hours. I use it mostly for Facebook, Google, Viber and YouTube. I have other typical social networking/comm apps (YM,Skype, Instagram,Twitter) but I dont use them often. I have less than 10 games (Temple Run2, Angry Birds, Diamond Dash) but I dont play for more than 15 mins. I have observed that when my phone is NOT in use, it decreases by 7-10% per hour (sometimes 1% /5minutes on idle) during the day. At night, before I go to sleep, it is a fully charged phone and when I wake up, 25% of the battery's life is gone within 8hrs of not touching it even to check the time. I dont know if its the normal draining rate of the battery, if its a factory defect on the battery or the phone itself, or if it is the app or android system. They say you need to turn off the location or something but I couldn't seem to find it. My phone is just 4 days old, or maybe 5. Im hoping when the phone turns a week old, things will be better. Or should I try to kill myself now? Any possible solutions???

PS. Please try to use "simple" instructions or terms. I really am not good about technology.

If your phone is rooted, you could try to go to the play store and download "media rescan root" and open it and follow the instructions. If that does not help, a screenshot of battery usage both from settings and Better BatteryStats.

Verizon Galaxy Note 2 HELP!!!!!

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to help a friend with his GN2. From what I understand he received the latest upgrade from Verizon and tried to unlock the bootloader. When you power up the phone we get this message. "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". Now I'm having him download the Kies software to see if it will help. We are able to get the phone into "download mode" for Odin. But every time we try to flash the stock it always fails.

Is there anything else we can do. Thanks for any Help.

Wifi connectivity issue in Galaxy N7100 for CM10.1 ROMs

Hi All

I am using the Galaxy Note 2 international model. I am trying the CM 10.1 nightly ROM's and other ROM's like HyperdroidJBX V2.0. They are cool roms and I really like them, but the only problem I am facing is the Wifi connectivity issue. At any point of time, when I am turning on and selecting my home Wifi connection, it stays on '

Obtaining IP address

' or some other message, but never gets connected. This is the same issue, I faced even in 4.1.2 versions, but I had a work around as follows. Now, I don't know , how to do that in 4.2.1 ROM's.

Open dial pad and dial *#0011* and then chose Wifi from Menu. Turn off the button which is currently 'on' and the Wifi connects .. This happens every time, I restart the phone. But once done , no issues in connecting or disconnecting.

Any help appreciated. I am new to this forum and please let me know, if any data needs to be provided from my end to help fix this issue.

PS: This issue, has stopped me from trying the 4.2.1 ROM's as it is eating up my 3G mobile data connection.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
Did you do a full wipe 'after' the first flash of the of CM10 ROM? Alternatively, a workaround might be to set a manual IP instead of relying on DHCP.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeptimanpanda:
I have done a complete Wipe , even cleared the entire Internal memory.

So are you suggesting me to change the settings of the wireless router?

My question was more towards, if anyone else is finding the same issue .

Do you want any further information from my end?

Is there a way to manually refresh the wifi connection like I used to do in 4.1.2 by dialling *#0011*?

Appreciate your help and time.

RE: N7100 hardware

Well, i'm no pro when it comes to developing and stuff with phones, but if you do decide to buy the note 2, i can tell you that its a hell of a good phone. The phone cant be bought with any kind of better hardware, i think. Well except that you can buy the phone with different amount of internal storage. 16, 32 and 64gb, but i am not sure if that is only the US model or if you can actually get it on the international as well. I've had the phone for a few months now, and i can say that you dont need any better hardware than what is on the phone already. The note 2 is one of the fastest phones on the market now so, yeah. You wont need it. ;) and i can asure u that its a lot faster than the SGS 1. I deeply recommend you to buy this phone, its totally worth it.:laugh:

About to buy this phone. From a flashaholic's perspective (currently CM10.1 nightly every 3 days on my SGS) what's the better model to buy, N7100 or N7105? 4G version seems to have some cooler ROMs (newer ver of ParanoidAndroid for example) but 3G model seems to have more ROMs in general.

Basically, if I'm going to be doing heaps of flashing, 4G or 3G? I don't have need for DC-HSDPA or 4G and the price difference is negligible, plus I don't use FM radio so no issue there.

Privacy and 'Scan nearby devices'

Hello,

I haven't been able to find information on this so I'm hoping someone here has some info. I was at a friend's house and connected to their wifi. While messing around with my note 2, I pushed the 'scan nearby devices' photo gallery- suddenly all of their pictures/ videos from their laptop were loading into my gallery- what is up with that? It didn't ask any permissions from them just- boom. The 2 questions are

2. When I scan and get pictures from their computer are my pictures being uploaded to theirs?!

PC Virus coming from my Note II

Hi there,

I've been a member for quite a while, but never had any reason to post and had less knowledge than most so have never had the chance to help. But here I am today asking for it. Here's my problem:

Somewhere along the line recently, I downloaded a virus onto my Note II. However, it isn't an virus that seems to affect androids so my antivirus app (avast!) isn't catching it. However, every time I sync to my computer, the desktop's antivirus does catch it as it comes in and neutralizes it, but it forces me to restart my computer. Annoying.

My computer's antivirus can't scan my phone and my phone's antivirus doesn't see the virus. I can't find it doing a manual scan. I'm trying to avoid blitzing my phone if I can.

Any suggestions?

Ynt: [NOOB FRIENDLY] Ask the question! [N7100 and other variants]

If you have bought MobileOdin via play store, yes you can..

It has no use at all.. don't worry about it you can even delete that file..

Gorilla Glass was never about shattering or damage resistance. Gorilla Glass has never promised direct damage resistance. It simply more protective about scratches. And unlike other glass types out there its great because it makes safe to use without a protective screen layer. What happened to those devices are even not covered by warranty. There is no need to trash Gorilla Glass for something they never promised.. If you are using a device as high priced as this, then you should spend some more money for protection. I'm using Spigen's Illuzion wallet case and it is working great..

Hmm.. I think you can try different anti-virusses for scan.. I never trusted Avast! fully so i suggest Eset.. But if even them cannot find anything you have to do full wiping to get rid of the virus.. If you can tell me which antivirus you are using on PC maybe i can suggest something else to you..

I never have experience this problem. But i believe you have S Beam and/or NFC on. You can close S Beam and NFC under Settings-> Other Settings. That way your phone won't try sharing your photos with wireless devices.

SamMobile has a bootloader unlocking system but they want money for it..

You can try flashing a working modem (which you don't have this issue) via MobileOdin.. You can find how at MobileOdin's thread or searching/reading previous pages of this thread..

Hi guys. I have international version of Note 2 but it's from T-Mobile Austria. They have just changed boot screen and added few apps. As a result, I have to wait for them to update to the latest android version. I've rooted it but unrooted it as well with exynos abuse.

My problem is charging. The other night, I was using some app to convert 1080p video to 480p so I can send it and it was hooked up to the charged because I had 15% left. Then I noticed that it went to 14% even thou it was hooked up to the charged. Finished that, left it and tomorrow morning, it was only charged for around 70%. I've changed the power extension cable and it worked. Not as fast but it did get to 90% in the next hour. That night, left it on the second cable, in the morning I got 51%. It doesn't seem to charge. Does anybody have similar problems? I still have Android 4.1.1. I haven't dropped the phone or anything like that. Its a month old phone.

Second problem that I have is internet. I got the package with max 7,2Mbps. Not much but it's quite enough for my needs right now since I read on it mostly. Lately, even if it's showing full signal and H+ icon, my internet isn't working. It can't load anything. Browser, facebook, news apps. I've tried to run then speedtest app but it takes forever to get to the begin test button. It just keep determining which server is the nearest. Basically, no Internet. Sometimes, it starts working by it self, sometimes I have to turn off the internet and the turn it back on for it to work. Any help?

I am really thinking of flashing some other rom or at least a 4.1.2 update since T-mobile will bring it to Austria by the end of March. I lose my warranty then?

SPen and PageBuddy N7100

Hi all,

Will there be any standalone app or mod for the N7100 someday which can use the PageBuddy in different Launchers? I really like this feature (for the SPen and Headphones) and miss it when changing from stock launcher to a different one.

There is also a setting which makes it possible to open up SNote when removing the SPen out of the N7100. It would be nice if you can customize this so it can open up a different app like GTasks for example or Evernote.

Thanks for reading and compliments to the great developers out there,
