[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wujekandrzej:
I've got the same issue. I was playing Tupsu, when suddenly my n7 rebooted and there was no picture, just semi-strong backlight. When the tablet died, the battery was about 45-50% and I was charging it through notebook's usb port (original n7 cable). I tried to turn it off, but pressing and holding the power button only made it reboot once again (i assume it was rebooting, since the backlight was turning off and on in a second). I've tried it many times, with tablet plugged into wall/usb charger, and even with the power+volume up/down combination, it would still behave the same way. However sometimes after rebooting there was not only backlight, but also thin, mostly white, horizontal lines, appearing in random places of the screen (appearing and disappearing after like 50-100 ms). It would stop only after a reboot, and happened every 5-10 reboots.

I've decided to let the battery die to see if it changes something, and as you may guess - it didn't. It died estimately after 2 or 3 hours. Now it's all the same, except for when I plug it to the charger, there's only a very low backlight (still no picture) and it's blinking... It also makes this continuous "electricity-related" (sorry, I don't know what's the word to call it :P) sound. After I press the power on, or let it charge for 1-2 minutes it boots up, and there's just a semi-strong backlight, like earlier.

It's a refurbished 8gb n7, which I got 5 days ago from the polish Asus online store. Oh, and the speakers weren't 100% fine, if it changes something. They were fine at first, but after i plugged headphones in and out, they were making cracking sounds when the volume was over 50% or something like that. Is there any hope I can fix it myself?

edit: the android ver. is 4.2.2, not rooted

the device is getting warm on the left side when being charged, or just turned on...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
Have you tried pulling the battery for a couple of minutes?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wujekandrzej:
Nope, i don't want to mess with the hardware since i've bought it only few days ago... I'm afraid it may leave some traces of being opened, i'm not willing to take the risk.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
You won't leave a trace pulling the battery. Just use a guitar pick or credit card and run it round, the back comes off very easily.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynrozturk:
Yeah that is definitely worth a shot. Just pull the battery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wujekandrzej:
Ok, I did it.

Didn't change a thing >:[

btw. I didn't actually pulled off the battery, i've just disconnected it - it doesn't make a difference, does it? and another thing - the backlight was turning on immediately after connecting the battery... with these randomly popping horizontal lines.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parso13:
I've got this too!

I've got this too! Pulling the battery does nothing. Last time it just fixed itself, now nothing.

Worried I'll have to take mine back.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wujekandrzej:
How did that 'fixing itself' happened to you if i may ask? And how long did it last?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Your tablet has gone into sleep mode to protect the battery from further damage due to its low level of charge. What you're seeing is by design, as complete discharge of a lithium based battery is bad for it. You should never, ever, let it sit dead for a couple days. If you do discharge it to the point of shutdown again, immediately put some sort of charge on it, as waiting to long will cause the battery's protection circuit to fail completely. Best practice is to not let your device go to the point of shutdown, but rather to plug it in when not in use. Your battery will have a longer lifespan.

Plug your N7 into the charger and immediately press power and volume down to get into the bootloader. Once there, use the volume key to scroll to Power Off Device and then press the power button. After it powers off, unplug it and then plug it back in. It should then charge normally.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wujekandrzej:
You seem not to have read my posts at all. When it happened, the battery was about 45-50% and it was plugged into the laptop's usb port. It suddenly rebooted and there was no more picture, just the backlight - and it lasted for like 2-3 hours (maybe even longer)! Can a completely discharged battery power the backlight for this long? After it turned off at last, i put it on charge and i've tried the power+volume method and it didn't do anything (btw. i already wrote about it)... then i let it charge for like 5-6 hours and it didn't change anything except for the fact, that the battery was evidently charged, because the backlight again lasted for few hours.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Actually, I was addressing the OP without realizing that this was a zombie thread.

To answer your question though... yes, when in sleep mode the battery can still turn on the backlight and keep it powered for some time due to the low power requirement of a black screen. Many users that have found themselves in sleep mode actually have their tablets enter into a prolonged cycle of bootloops. From the sounds of it, your device seems to have, for reasons unknown, put itself to sleep.

Anyway, I digress... I know you've stated you've tried various combinations of the power and volume keys. Have you attempted holding all three buttons for approximately 30-40 seconds while the tablet is plugged in? If it that will force it into the bootloader, you can follow the steps that I posted to get it up and running again. If not, then it seems your best available option is to seek an RMA from ASUS. Given your speaker issue, I'd send it back regardless- you shouldn't be expected to deal with battery and speaker issues after only five days.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wujekandrzej:
Ok, then i'm sorry for few harsh words

Yep. Many times. And even longer than a minute.

Anyway, I'm going to contact their crappy support. Thanks everyone for trying to help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] teco2010:
Couple of month ago my 3G connection was bad overall at where I work... recently it has gotten better to the point of watching Netflix with no problem.

Now, even more recently my 3G sometimes is horrible and sometimes really fast. Today for about 1 hour it was bad nonstop, then out of the blue I get really fast 1.5M downlods, then a few minutes after it gets bad again? This has been happening for the past 2-3 weeks with 2 phones including my brand new Note 2.

I have LTE north and south to this position? Is this maybe due to the network upgrade?

I'm attaching an image for you guys to look. The 2 on the bottom was north from here in LTE area.

Has anyone experienced this with the LTE coming to your area? Does it have anything to do with LTE and 3G upgrades?

Thanks

Hi, I installed CM10 on my 8GB from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877217

Initially, my external SD card worked, but after a reboot, I am not even given an option in settings > storage to mount the SD card. Additionally, I cannot mount the card from CM 10 recovery boot.

I know that the actual card works, because I can install CWM or something else to the SD card and boot from it. It's just that in CM 10, it isn't recognized at all. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] salukis93:
I have had several android phones that i have rooted in the past and i can be classified as a flash-a-holic, I love messing with my phone.

With that stated it seems that rooting an flashing new roms is also a headache. I have not found a rom with my evo or s2 that does not have bugs and problems.

So my question is - what are the good reasons to root my Note 2. I feel that if i root and flash it is an never ending process to find the perfect rom that does not exist.

The Note to is wonderful as is - battery is great.

I HATE the puke green battery icon and love what others can do with the setup that i cannot. But its not worth it if the roms have bugs.

I do not like the bloat on the phone and would love to get rid of it but is it worth it?

I would love to see some compelling reasons to root this phone.

Thanks for your input in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] calinormy:
I rooted my note for two reasons: I am able to use external ntsf hdd ( now I use ssd without the need to use external power) AND the second reason was to increase audio output volume. I use samsung stock firmware. I am verry pleased.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmbburg26:
The main reason I have mine rooted is the hotspot hack. I have a stock Rom but rooted. That's it. I used to be a flash aholic but I found it tiring to reset my phone every time. I don't want to run the risk of missing something important. I do love to theme though. Just depends on what you want to do.

Rockin' the Sprint Note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] finalhit:
you don't need to root your phone if you don't have a reason to. don't force it.

personally, i wholly intended to stay pure stock...but then that exynos exploit thing surfaced.

a) it made rooting ridiculously easy

b) it made the phone ridiculously vulnerable.

so i decided to use the patch, but since i'm already there, i just rooted. i have no intentions of flashing custom roms either, though that may change later as roms mature and gain s-pen related applications.

also, titanium backup. i needed to import my game saves.

i'm still in my as-stock-as-possible mood, so I'm still using stock recovery. no nandroids backups sadly, but considering i don't mess with the phone all that much, i don't think i'll need it. TI backup is good enough.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sky1193:
I'm stock rooted for free tether, directory bind, titanium backup, and other tweaks that pop up that I may like as time goes on. It's really easy to do with the toolkit so I figured why not. Intend to stay stock for now, this thing is so amazing already. I got MOGA for Christmas as well as some play store money so I have lots of games and the 11gb available storage is no where near enough without app2sd or the directory bind solution. Could hold 2 maybe 3 big games before now have probably 10-12.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mulhiny:
Blocking ads..my number 1 reason to root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuko303:
I agree. Mine too. Reason number 1 why I did it was because I wanted the "multi-view mod" love watching a movie and texting people at the sammw time its awesome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jon-.-:
Wifi tether, remove bloatware, and having no limitations to what mods/apps I can use. Plus, just because you root your phone doesn't mean that you have to flash a custom rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] austin420:
ad blocking and titanium backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] adamantypants:
Yep. Other than the bloat, the stock ROM is better than some custom ROMs. I say root (for the options) and run the debloater. When I first picked up this phone I thought about keeping it unrooted. Naturally though I was rooted an hour later.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HanMan5000:
I started rooting when I had the SG2, and continued when I had the S3. I found myself continuously changing roms, looking for something better, and then ended up missing out on the stock things (like samsungs custom stuff).

I told myself I wouldn't root my Note 2, but the final straw was broken when I was when I stayed at an expensive hotel that wanted $7 an hour for the wifi. I needed the hotspot hack.

I'm on stock rooted, but I guess you can say the main reasons I am rooted are:

Hotspot hack

Google wallet (even though it hasn't worked for me once yet)

I don't mind the bloat nor the ads. I don't download shady apps from Google Play so I don't have advertisement notifications. As for the bloat, some of it is useful and I like it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mad1111:
My number one reason to ROOT is to control the processors. You think battery life is great, wait till you reduce some of the processing power. I have mine MAX at 1GHz, and it never misses a beat! I'm sure it's due to the quad core and 2GB of RAM that makes it feel just as fast as if i had left it at the stock settings (1.6GHz).

And I am a flash-a-holic, but I like it...makes me feel like I got a new phone every week! hahaha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] islandjat:
I haven't rooted mine for the sole reason that its too much of a headache to me with previous phones. Too often I lost messaging and internet and I personally don't have the money to buy a new phone if i break it. It's a personal decision you have to make where the good outweighs the potential bad:)

Ya know, like everyone else ive been a flashaholic on my OG evo and I gotta say...the stock touchwiz is pretty damn fast an nice..ive not rooted yet, but I plan to even just to get rid of the bloatware.

I figured I would ask the question here as opposed to opening a new thread.

Ive stopped using windows but I still have pc's with it...with that being said, ive looked all over.. is there a walk through that has one using ubuntu/mint/etc to root our phone? ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dustinshepard:
don't need root to wifi tether

I noticed a lot of people commenting that they root for wifi tether. You can use 1 click tether to be a wifi hotspot and not be rooted. That being said I'm rooted for the multi window mod for all apps stock rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] swalter718:
If you don't enable root access (superuser) on your phone or tablet, you are missing out on a whole lot functionality. It's not "dangerous" or bad for your phone in any way. On the contrary, it allows you to manage and protect your data at a higher level than what is possible on a non-rooted device.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I've been hearing a lot about my aging YP-G70 and its ICS camera fix. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to play Ingress (JUST GOT MY ACCESS CODE!) but I don't want to revert to Gingerbread again. I'm still confused about the progress being made here though. JackPot apparently fixed front cam, but was this released? Also, is the choppy back cam fix released too? I just can't keep up with this anymore... THX in advance!

Love, (jk) arc
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Karim.younus:
Never knew about the front camera fix. Its probably only on his own ROM as he has also got HW working on his ROM but not released it. Don't think there's a fix for the choppy back camera thing.

I am rooting and flashing a nook for my friend and I've been using my own sd in the process. When I give the nook back I'll take my ad out of it so is there a way of making the nook's internal memory partition as its default memory for storage and whatnot? I think I saw a rom that did this but I might be mistaken
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SlowCobra96:
This probably belongs in q&a. Search the forums specifically look into posts under the various ROM posts as I believe it has been covered numerous times. Vold.fstab. In addition an SD card costs $5-10 and comes in handy when updating or troubleshooting problems. Its a wise investment for the minimal expense.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Cosmicsasquatch:
Hello! I'm (a) new(b) here...and I recently got this wonderful tablet--it's my first, and I absolutely love the screen. Applications look awesome...and the doodling...yes, the doodling! :good:

Yet I just had to go on youtube (and basically a couple of other streaming video websites...Hulu Plus looks like Block-pocalypse ). The videos, even when set to "HD" buffer quickly, smoothly...but the actual content is, unfortunately different; most of them are blocky, and clarity is lacking. My (retired...it cost around 400$ in its day and has a terrible graphics card) laptop, 5 years old, even looks better and sharper even if the resolution is the same and it's stretched across 15 unforgiving inches (even WHEN set to medium quality it looks better...). On the smaller screen...well, there's a strange pixellation/distortion effect going on around sharper lines, whilst the laptop doesn't have the...quirk. Lol...at least the tablet's speakers are better.

I know I'm being a snob--the quality is somewhat passable...but hey. It's freaky. I noticed the quality gap instantly by simultaneously playing the two devices side by side on the same video. And so I'm a little bewildered. Well, a lot. :eek:

So...I might as well ask: is this...normal for tablets to look much worst then bigger-screened laptops with similar resolutions ? I think I remember being impressed last year when I picked up a old Transformer 10.1 model and looked at a Youtube video. The clarity impressed me. Have I been spoiled, or are tablets simply not as able as I thought, or wonder if it has to do with the wi-fi router I have? Well, like I've said, the videos all buffer without lag. :/ If I have to configure something...I don't know where to start!

Disclaimer: I tried for about two hours to look for a solution...but I'm too noobish to even know what to look for. You can e-slap me for being so dumb if you want. Also, this tablet is basically new. It's relatively unaltered. But I have installed adobe flash player. And I made sure to click on the "HD" option on youtube... >.>

Thank you sooooo much for any help. :crying:
