Help please

Hello!

I have a Galaxy Note 2 which gives me problems when switching from one network card to another has no signal. For example, when parts of Cosmote Vodafone's network in the first signal and the second signal runs. Mention that the phone is unroot and has software version 4.1.2. Help me please! Thanks a lot! :good:

Sorry for bad English! :o

Hello, please try a custom rom and follow up with information. As far as I could go and network stability to be ok!;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Not exactly sure what your question is.. are you saying you get different signal strengths when using simcards from different networks?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifesGladiator:
Hi, This is the third different ROM i'm trying. I've come across several posts where the same issue has been noticed. It certainly can't be an issue with network stability. Though i have full signal, the phone seems to enjoy hassling me by disconnecting the data connection :)

Someone has noticed that this happens when the phone tries to switch between 3g, H and H+ and disabling H and H+ kept the connection stable. I'm trying to do the same....

Maybe during the weekend i can experiment with another ROM.

> Do you think using a different Modem might fix it?

> If yes, is there a way i can replace only the modem without disturbing the other aspects of the ROM? (Using Odin?) I'm very happy with the performance of this ROM. It's better than stock :)

Cheers!

I have a problem when I change cards ... when pass from one network to another, for example in Cosmote have excellent signal,in Vodafone card when inserted the phone does not have signal. This is my problem...Why have a network signal and the other not?

Thanks!

Yes,with a different modem you might fix the problem,but you must be careful if the modem is compatible with the version of CSC and not only,try to make a repartition with PIT file. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
That's to be expected. Different networks have different coverage areas so different sims will show different signal strength depending on the area. My house for example, gets no signal at all for one network but get H connection with another on the same phone. It's not something weird.

It might be that your Voda simcard isn't activated Try it on another phone in a different area and if you don't get a signal, the sim is not working. If you do get signal, it's just that where you live or whatever place you tried isn't covered by Vodafone. Call them up and ask for a signal booster or something :)

2 seconds of audio

Hi all,

Just registered here as I've heard very good things about this site in general. :) I'm fairly new to Android having last used it at 1.6 I think... and went to BlackBerry, then iPhone, now back with my new Note 2. So far I'm very happy with it, and it's great to see how far Android has come since I last used it.

I actually have 2 questions though, and I'm hoping you lovely people can help

1. I believe if I root my device now, I will lose all the settings etc I have on it now? Assuming that's the case, if I do root it, can I then use a Kies backup to restore it, or will that effectively 'un-root' it again?

2. I'm struggling with Google Play music. I've used Kies to copy over 1400 songs or so onto my SD card to listen to offline... but for some reason a LOT of the songs only play 2 seconds or so, then skip to the next song (which may or may not only play 2 seconds before skipping again). Then it'll find a 'whole' song, play that, and the cycle continues. I can listen to the song just fine on my computer through Kies or iTunes etc.. but on the phone it won't play the whole thing. I've tried with a different music app (WinAmp) and have the same results. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help/answers!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Rooting by itself won't reset any settings you have already. As for music, try deleting all the files and manually copy them to your sdcard?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nogoodnames:
So I can root it now and there will be no change (other than the fact that it's rooted)? That's good news.

As for copying manually.. I'm hoping it doesn't have to be that way... as the files are all in different folders and make up a small percentage of my actual library. It seems odd that some songs work and some don't. But yes, I could go through manually and pull out the files... but that would be a last resort. :)

Phone lose signal

Hello,

It is not the signal strength, both networks have very strong signal where I am,the simcard is working...it's about phone,i think there it's a problem with the phone but i don't know what.Is that asking for help, maybe someone knows what could be the cause...may be a modem, or software or any other. Thanks a lot!

I wanna ask a question, I flashed a rom and then the camera isn't working, I don't know why !
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Do you get some kind of error message when you put the voda simcard? It might be that the phone is locked to the cosmote network and won't recognise other network sims.

Modems shouldn't matter as my phone is unlocked and I tried about 3 different network simcards, all working fine.

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Which rom exactly did you flash? Need more information than "flashed a rom". Try flashing a different rom or use stock firmware. Might just be a bad download so you can try redownloading the rom too.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitmanblack:
No error

No error message,the phone is unlocked! :(

Hmm.. that is very strange.. don't know any other thing that might help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickosD:
The only thing that you won't be able to do is to update your device. Only from kies. As for files, you can try airdroid. I use it to transfer files to or from the phone.

My Note II, suddenly behave very weird and strange. It open apps by itself; at times, when I open my phone, I saw Gmail openned, new mail created ... by the phone itself. And it freeze quite often, but for a very short while. Especially every time I go to all Apps then return to home screen, whole machine freeze for about 10 seconds then resume. At times at lock screen, I can't unlock the phone, the interactive screen still response but did not unlock.

I have Factory Reset the phone, it still the same even when I had not installed any software in yet, bare stock rom.

I have installed EMMC check and looks like it's not ESD for my case.

My phone:

I am running out of direction. Please help, I appreciate it a lot.

Doesn't like a huge deal to update via Kies only.

I'll give Airdroid a try... but it still seems odd to me that it's only some songs that are affected. Thanks!

Hi,

I installed the latest Paranoid Android 3.6 ROM for the Galaxy Note 2 and this custom ROM is not recognizing my Earphones nor anything else when plugged into headphone jack. Everything else works flawlessly. Do I need to flash some drivers or something? Pls help me out on this one! Much appreciated

In other words there is no icon anywhere of the system recognizing plugged in audio-out cables nor any sound comes through when playing music for example
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruzfire:
You can't disabled that feature on stock rom. In custom roms I think the cooks erase that feature , since my wifi is 24 hours on with no issue.

Some times they leave those icons/sound out since is considered useless. If everything works, no reason to worry.

Flashing error, need direction to go

N7100 I was flashing and tried to stop in middle. Now phone goes to "Galaxy Note II" start screen and only way to stop is removing battery. Laptop doesn't recognize.

What is my next step? No combination of holding buttons gets beyond the start screen- start+ front, start+ vol up down or both, start+front + vol up down or both.

Only the Forum can help!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruzfire:
Why would you do such a stupid thing like that??? You have to access download mode and flash rom thru Odin and never ever stop a flash in the middle of flashing.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmcwethy:
Stuff happens. I had 'help' from little fingers. So solution is to hook phone to laptop, fire up Oden and flash a stock ROM ?

phone doesn't open

Hello please,

It seems my phone is finished.Yesterday I flashed the Philz Recovery through Mobile Odin(through Recovery option).But as usual it showed 'Flashing and Rebooting',but the phone shut down without going to recovery.Then I tried flashing through PC Odin through PDA.After showing PASSED in Odin I disconnected the phone from the PC.But the phone did not reboot into recovery.So I was not able confirm whether Philz Recovery was installed.In order to confirm that I tried to go to recovery by pressing Power,Vol Up & Home buttons after shutting down the phone.But their was no response in the phone.So I tried Download Mode by pressing the Power,Vol Down & Home buttons.This time the phone went to Download load mode.So I again flashed Philz.This time also the phone didn't reboot to recovery.So I tried to enter recovery manually as before.This time also no response.So I made ON the phone opened M Odine and flashed PhIlz again.But the same result as before. I shut the phone down and tried the recovery manually again.No response.Then tried Download mode manually.This time no response for this also.Also I tried with JIG to enter Download mode(by pulling out battery,replacing it again and putting the JIG in the micro USB port without making ON the phone).For this also no response.And when tried to make the phone ON it does not respond to the Power button also.Today I tried to make the phone ON several times by pressing the Power Button without any results.The battery was with 80% charge when I tried flashings.Is the phone dead?What is the option now?I noticed the delay in powering up the phone from shut down(for about 25 to 30 minutes) earlier itself after flashing the 23 toggle mods with Modin. Is that symptom developed eventually to this state?Any how I am very desperate now.So will anybody please offer a remedy, if possible?Waiting anxiously for an immediate reply with thanks,

Sasidharan. .

I installed a 4.2.2 rom but didnt like it so i restored my 4.1.2 backup and now my downloads go to a different folder. How can i make my ext sd card become my main download path?

Hi,

I created a thread with my question but thought I'd try over here as well.

I wiped my phone system and data so as far as I know there is no way to copy a flashable ROM onto the device. I therefore need to flash a ROM through ODIN but the stock ROM is taking forever to download and the download stops halfway and I can't resume.

Is there a small light weight custom ROM that is ODIN flashable that I can download somewhere? I tried google search but couldn't find anything.

Thanks

Solved the problem by using adb push to copy a flashable ROM to device while in recovery mode.

I I need help with my Note 2 (GT-N7100)!

On a regular basis WIFI (and bluetooth)

won't start or hangs

. This occurred after I rooted the device and installed cyanogenmod cm-10.1-20130715-NIGHTLY-n7100. I should have known this rom is far from stable, but I was curious to try it. Wish I hadn't!

I removed the root (to unrooted) and reinstalled the latest stock rom from Samsung (via KIES). The problem stays the same. I did several factory resets without any improvement. Changing to Jellybam doesn't work either.

I searched the net for solutions but no 100% cure so far. I tried some suggestions that I found like removing the battery, Sim and sd-card and pressing the ON-button for a minute and then rebooting. Sometimes this helps but mosten often not...

Can anyone tell me how to bring the decive in it's original state so I can send it back to Samsung?

Can anyone please help out?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabukannappan:
Try this

I believe you would have flashes custom rom through CWM or any other recovery.

So, Follow these:

1) First take a back up of every data you might need (Contacts, msgs, photos, apps)

2) Download the latest stock version for your region ( Can be found in http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ . You would have to register for getting the firmware. It will give you a link to hotfile I'll try to get any other fast servers if available). It'll be in zip format Extract it. You might end up with one tar.md5 file.

3) Put your phone in download mode (Volume DOWN + POWER + HOME button simultaneously and then press Volume UP when asked)

4) Then connect your phone to computer and flash the tar.md5 file using Odin 3.08 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896696

5) reboot your phone in recovery ( VOLUME UP + power + HOME) and do wipe cache and wipe data/Factory reset.

6) Select reboot now and now you'll be back into STOCK ROM.

Note:

1) Please proceed only after answering these questions.

a) using International Note 2 (N7100 or N7105)?

b) took a back up?

c) Got everything (apps and other applications) in place before starting?

2) Please ask/search for doubts before performing anything which you feel is different from the guidelines(May brick your phone)

3) Even if you go back to stock, you'll not be able to update via kies or OTA for future firmwares due to the rooting. Let me know if you want to get the option for getting updates as well ( It is a bit tricky).

ty my friend for ur reply and advice

Thanks so much for your answer I know I have Note 2 GT-N1705 and stock firmware is SFR ( France ) I can remove the bloatware later and yes you are right I did use CWM to install custom rom using Toolkit to push to device however I can use the ODIN with the tar5 file to get back to stock, im truly not unhappy about being in root as updates at this stage are the last thing on my mind also if I wanted to update can I do it thru ODIN? I will reinstall all my apps one by one so they dont crash and my contacts are all backed up the rest is nothing to me....I already saved my pictures etc before I did this silly thing to myself, well at least I know better, NOW, so if your sure this is all I need do I will give it a bash I guess.....1 thing though I did watch a video that used ODIN mobile pro the size of the file was like around a gig not that I care on unlimited anyway.....U are a true Gem for answering me thank u kindly. I will let youu know how i go:):):)

Download the France Region's ROM.

The file is 1 gig because of all the bloatwares and samsung customisations(Smart Stay, etc.,)

I think you're fine to start. Make sure you have seen the tutorials and you're fine and confident to proceed. Keep the video/Guide beside and go by step by step. Se the link i provided too which might help during the installation of Stock ROM

You'll be able to update the latest Stock ROM through Odin :). The procedure same as how you're going to do now.

Ok file just finished downloading so here goes, I think ur awesome for all your kind help and patience with me I have watched video a few times and feel ok to go ahead, oh one thing after I install this is it safe to delete the rootbox install file from my fone or even for example if I used mobile Odin to install the file would it then be safe to delete the tar5 file from device just being curious as I fully intend installing using desktop Odin it just had me wondering if it would become a system dependant file after install if i did use mobile version?? again ur the bomb! Yvette;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabukannappan:
There is no dependency on the tar.md5 file or the ROOTBOX files once after the installations. So you can go ahead deleted those from your device if needed.

And once after installation, you wouldn't be able to use any of the apps requiring root access (like Mobile ODIN, Titanium back up, etc.,)

Using N7100/7105 in the US

I am going to start traveling to Europe and love my Note 2, but of course mine doesn't work there now. I am looking at getting the N7100/7105.

I will be in the US most of the time of course.

Would appreciate your input on selecting one.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
1. N7100 is the international version. It should function in both Europe and US provided you have the valid permission from whoever your network provider is. You sound like you're simply touring Europe but reside in USA, hence it would seem wise to get a cheap Pay As You Go micro sim card for your duration in Europe while switch to another US based sim, either with or without contract, when you get back there. As far as I'm aware, the N7100 model does tend to cost more just because of the greater degree if freedom available with it.

2. N7105 better known as the LTE version of the Note 2 has, as you may already guess, 4G connectivity. Stripped to its bones, 4G is a major upgrade to its predecessor, being the 3G, and it's greatest strength is its vastly superior speed. Often comparable to Wi-Fi like speeds on the go. I believe the USA have more network providers who offer this version with their contracts than Europe while the phone itself is sometimes plastered with stickers and comes with an app with their respective provider, although the same goes with the N7100 model as well. N7105 is somewhat more restricted both in terms of use abroad as well as fewer ROMS/mods support this version if you were to go along the rooting and flashing route.

TL;DR Summary:

If 4G is a must have feature for you, the N7105 is for you despite its limitations. Whereas in most other cases, especially when travelling, the N7100 may adapt to your needs better. In all other ways, both models are absolutely equal and you can't really wrong with either one.
