[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wesley32:
I have had my Galaxy SII Skyrocket since January 4th of 2012. About two weeks after I bought it I got drunk at a party and dropped in into the road. Didn't crack the screen or anything. Just had some scratches on the outside bezel.

Now here come the questions, I had my skyrocket rooted and installed many different roms over the previous months. I would say since June I have been updating and installing different Roms on my device. Well, About 4 days ago while I had CvD Nibbles installed on my phone with the CPU overlocked to 1.723 I think? with incredicontrol, My phone just restarts. I didn't think anything about it at first.

So, I take the battery out and restart like normal, everything seems to be fine, but I reduce the CPU speed just to be sure. receive a couple text messages then BAM! phone restarts again. Except this time when I tried to take the battery out and place it back in, the phone automatically booted up (without pressing the power button at all). I see the Samsung logo and then it just restarts to a black screen and is stuck in a vibrating loop about every 2-3 seconds.

Also, I have noticed that when I try to connect a USB cable and put the phone in download mode that the download mode screen will pop up, but as soon as I click volume up to continue, a blue screen flashed quickly and the phone restarts.

Additionally, will the scratches on the bezel affect the warranty if I send it in to Samsung?

What could this problem be? I even tried a brand new battery at best buy, didn't help. I was thinking it is a hardware issue inside the phone?

any advice will help, thanks

Stuck power button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Probably a stuck power button. It's a common problem on this phone. I'd Odin back to stock when you can and take it back to where you bought it. You only have a few days before your warranty is up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wesley32:
I took the phone apart and cleaned the dust out.

Didn't help

I also tried to boot the phone up without the outer shell on it. Also did the same thing, I almost ruled out stuck power button. Because if I take the outer shell off then the power button isn't even touching the white trigger underneath the case. You know what I am saying?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
No, it's a stuck power button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wesley32:
Okay, im gunna take my phone apart again and post a picture. I cleaned it pretty thoroughly, whats the best way to unsticking it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
Sometimes you can just keep pushing the power button over and over until it fixes itself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
theres a few links about this in the 1stop sticky in the "info " section in the sticky

its an internal problem we/i call "the sticky power button".

theres a link on taking it apart to clean the button internally, sometimes works, sometimes not, if not get the warranty repair
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] *system error*:
I had the same symptoms. Took it apart. Played with the button several minutes to no avail. Try blowing preferably some canned air right into where the white button is. Button doesn't appear to be stuck. There is more than likely some dust or lint behind the white button.

!0 minutes start to finish to fix my "stuck power button"

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wesley32:
a good way to check if it is still stuck would be to blow air into the white button, then place the battery back in the device, If it powers on immediately without pressing any buttons then its still stuck right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] *system error*:
....And the obvious vibrating

I would say yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wesley32:
Alright, I am about to go on lunch break at work and I will grab my phone and pick up some air duster. Any other suggestions for cleaning out the button? like chemicals to use to remove the dust?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] *system error*:
I wouldn't recommend using any chemicals. some duster should be fine.

I'm sure you took a look at the stickies vincom mentioned. There are a lot of more "denial and error" stories over there.

again... good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yeah it's hilarious. So many people saying...

Person in denial:

"I know it's not the power button, it can't be. I already looked at it 3 times and its not stuck"

It's internally stuck, dude.

Person in denial:

"I already told you it's not stuck"

Me:

It's definitely stuck, clean it.

Person in denial:

"You were right, I cleaned it and it works now!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wesley32:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamairo:
Hi,

I'm thinking about rooting my Note 10.1 (mostly because I want to use DicertoryBind/Link2SD) via ClockworkMod Recovery.

My questions:

I won't receive any OTA updates, cause the status will be custom, right?

I want to stay on stock FW, what can I do to update my tablet if there is a new OTA:

Can I directly flash the FW from sammobile with odin or are they not campatible with cwm? Would that mean that every time there is a new OTA, I have to unroot, flash back to stock recovery, get the OTA, flash back cwm and root again?

Isn't there a way to flash the update while keeping all my data (just like normal OTA does) and root ?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
Hope this answers all queries
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamairo:
Okay, that means I download the firmware from for instance sammobile, flash it using ODIN (will that be PDA only, like flashing cwm?), and then re root means install superSU again from cwm or installing cwm completely new?

*edit* Thanks for the sticky!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
Yes you can use this post to know how to install using odin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2080366

You do not require CWM to root you can use the exynos patch apk to root you can download the apk from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamairo:
Hey, thanks so far, I just installed CWM, everything went fine, but if I look at the system status it still says "offical", does that mean I can receive OTA's? Or won't that work cause of CWM?

Also I believe before it didn't say "official" but "normal".

*edit* okay, nevermind, after a reboot it sys now "custom"
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Since you have rooted your device you can also use Mobile ODIN to flash the roms from sammfirmware directly on your note 10.1. You just make sure everroot is ticked but if you think you might loose root then have both the CWM.tar file saved on your device, its a tiny file so no real space lost or if you don't care about CWM but want root access then keep the exynosexploit.apk on your device. I have everything I need on the sd card in case I cant get to a PC. Much better when I'm not tied to the PC...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamairo:
Thanks so far, but theres one question left: From what you've said I think it's possible to flash with odin or mobile odin while CWM is still installed, what will happen to CWM after the flash? Is it completely gone (stock recovery comes with the firmware?!) or does "re root" only mean that I have to reinstall superSU with CWM?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
You will go back to stock recovery but you might retain root if you ticked everoot function....

As I said earlier, you can reflash CWM onto your Note using mobile ODIN if you have the CWM.tar file stored on your device...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjfriend:
+1 for Mobile Odin if you're wanting to stay stock.

Use Exynos Abuse to root the first time.

Install Mobile Odin pro.

Backup your EFS partition off the device.

Install CWM using Mobile Odin and make a nandroid backup.

Back up apps with Titanium if required.

Download the new stock from you want and use Mobile Odin to install with Everoot selected.

Use Mobile Odin to install CWM.

Simplest method I've found by far.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elzeus:
After rooting with exynos abuse root, can you just do a factory reset to make you stock again to get OTA's?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjfriend:
I don't believe so (prepared to be corrected) but if you reinstall the stock rom without Everoot ticked and factory reset you'll be back to stock unmodified.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Never tried but I don't think so, The OTA checks for an unmodified system and even though stock recovery says its official the status in settings is "Custom".
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elzeus:
What if I'm on the stock rom (never went custom) and stock recovery. All I did was root? Would a recovery restore allow me to get OTA's?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
if you are on stock recovery then why would you restore recovery.

Yes if you are rooted only you will receive OTA if you are on the orignal rom (rom from country which note was purchased irrespective of the version you are on)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
That is my situation, exactly. So, I can take OTAs in my present situation? I used #2 root option from zedomax. I haven't changed anything or used a custom rom. All I want to do is get current on my updates, and retain root and CWM.

Should I also use TriangleAway, and at what point? Thank you.

Apologies to the OP, but I've been waiting for a chance to resolve this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If you used method 2 you have replaced the stock recovery... That's what CWM recovery means...

You're flash counter will now be one and need to be reset using triangle away. No OTA for you...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zacedward:
Hi is there a app to increase volume for headphones I use Pandora and Google Music I have headphones there a little loud but I want them louder is there a way to give me a little louder volume thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Use PowerAmp. You can increase the decibels and remove the volume limitation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] haunting:
Yeah PowerAmp hands down is the best media player on the market for android has been since it's release.

It's well worth the $5 or what ever they are charging for it today. It sounds amazing, the UI flows well and hands down has the best

library structure out there.

PowerAmp however will not help you with Pandora or any other internet radio app. It's EQ only works for the music playing through the PowerAmp player. There are tons of equalizer apps on the market most are free and work fine, some require root but not all of them. Those that do require root tend to work a little better in my past experience and if your phone is rooted install the beats audio drivers <-- in the market place it's free. That will make a big difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I wouldn't install beats audio unless you make a nandroid backup. People have had tons of issues with these drivers for minimal audio quality increase.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] aczm1988:
If your rooted, STweaks from play store. Great app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
I agree, beats audio sucks.

I tried it out of curiousity more than anything (knowing up front that it is nothing but an overhyped EQ setting)

In my system, it seemed to install just fine and appears to be working etc but makes no difference at all in the sound quality or volume.

Volume + works in some apps but not in others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] haunting:
I'm an audiophile I own and use several different high end headsets with my phone. Also use it in the car... it's all personal preference people rant and rave about some of the equalizer apps out there I think some of those sound horrible. Between personal preference and the wide verity of different headsets/speakers out there it's next to impossible to say xx app is the "best" audio quality tweak / booster ect. you have to try them and see which you like.

for the features and an amazing equalizer PowerAmp but it like I said, it won't work with pandora / slacker radio apps so your stuck with the market place EQ aps for that.

I personally think the beats drivers sound great, works well on my phone with my settings and my beats headphones, with 1 of my Bose headsets the bass is a little too heavy and low notes get a bit hollow so I disable it when using those. Sounds fine on the other set.

My thoughts on it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
This post is amusing to me in a couple ways. I owned a very high end stereo shop for over 10 years.

We sold a lot of "True audiophile" equipment. One thing a true audiophile would never do in a million years is use anything with the beats name on it. Any true audiophile would be embarresed to admit they even own a set of beats headphones.

Now don't get me wrong, I own both a set of Bose QC15 (they work super for noise blocking on airplanes) and a set of Beats Studio's (I never would have bought them as they are WAY overpriced but I got them as a present) and I like them but I take a TON of abuse from guys who really are audiophiles for owning them.

Another thing audiophiles make a point of is not using any kind of phony IQ settings like the gimmicky beats stuff.

Why do you take abuse for them, what's wrong with them?

Lol, it's just kind of a snobbery type thing.

If you go to the sites like headphone.org, they riidicule the beats stuff as overpriced just constantly.

Ubuntu Phone

i think it will need a couple of weeks untill ubuntu "custom roms" will be portet to non nexus devices, because teh only devices that r officially supportet by ubuntu phone are the nexus 4 and the galaxy nexus.

You should know that Ubuntu Phone needs high resources to run on any devices.

There r few Devs at the moment that know how to port this on any device, and most of this r the devs of Ubuntu itself.

I would not name Ubuntu Phone a custom rom because it's not based on Android => it's a mobile OS based on linux but not on android

The first UbuntuPhones will be selled much later there are no at the moment

I use my Galaxy Note 10.1 very often in portrait mode, and I'm looking for a decent cover which would allow me to hold it that way with one hand without too much strain or effort. So far I've found one case (MoKo-Slim-Fit-Folio on Amazon:B0088I9AX4), but it's received mixed reviews.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] oroboros74:
OK, so yeah, I did see that, but I'm not sure which is the strap you're talking about. In my mind there'd have to be a strap going across the longer side for my hand to hold on to it. What were you talking about?

Do you have this one? What's your experience?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] oroboros74:
I had looked at the Moko. My problem is that it seemed that the strap looked a little flimsy. What are your thoughts?

Ideally, I'm imagining something that my hand fits snuggly into....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] apristel:
The hand strap is actually very sturdy. It remains tight (not all stretched out) after using it daily for over a month.

I think it is a quality product. If you want pictures or anything just let me know.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] oroboros74:
That's awesome of you! One of the pictures on Amazon says "Elastic band to hold the cover open". So does that mean that you can actually keep it from opening when you're holding it in portrait mode, or will it still "flip open" if you happen to move your wrist the wrong way? (Hope that makes sense!) If you wouldn't mind posting some photos (or even a little video?), that would be great, but not absolutely necessary!

And just to be sure you have the Amazon ASIN B0088I9AX4 is that right (w/ easy access tot he S-Pen)?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] apristel:
I'll make a video and pics in a bit, getting ready to watch the Packers beat the Vikings... ( I live in Green Bay )

The strap thing goes around the top of the tablet by the camera to prevent it flopping open... I never use the extra strap, haven't had any issues.

a strap across the longer side would mean it's in landscape mode ?

One more question: I'm also seeing this case http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Samsung-Galaxy-Tablet-Black/dp/B007SA0Q1S/ which I thought was the same as yours - I don't think it is, right? Does the one that you have let you fold the flap over like that? Would you have preferred that it did, or does the "tongue" sticking out like I see in your pics bother you at all?
