[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dpk1:
I too have the bugged chip. I had a strange problem when on JB 4.1.1 roms. Sometimes, on a restart, the screen wouldn't turn on (remain totally black) but with normal boot up sound & capacitive touch keys lighting up and would remain like that. And another reboot (long pressing power key) would solve this and phone would boot up fine. This would happen often after flashing via odin or after disconnecting the wall charger. I don't know if this issue was/is any prelude to SDS or even related to it, just thought it worth mentioning here. Any ideas, guys?

Now, on the latest stock JB 4.1.2 (XXDMB2), and i haven't had this issue (neither had it on XXDMA6). So, the latest rom seems to have fixed exynos abuse & the above mentioned issue (for me), if not the SDS :D.

Hello!

I'd urge you to first take a look at the Note II Toolkit, click here to find it. With that, you should first do two things before you start modifying your phone:

1) Using the toolkit, make a full Nandroid backup of your phone so you have a backup of it on your PC in case something goes wrong.

2) Also backup the EFS, you can do that with the toolkit too! EFS backup backs up the IMEI information and a whole lot of other very very important things that you may need in the future if something goes wrong with your phone.

After you have done those things, you should explain here more clearly what it is you would like to know more about, because I think the people who have read this thread aren't sure about what it is you're asking for! :) Lots of helpful people here but you should explain a bit more clearly! I will help as much as I can.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chronosphere:
Thanks man This is what i needed too hear, just a tiny beginner guide on how to do backups is always nice and this is exellent service !

You don't have to be 100% grammatically correct. But buddy this is an International forum where as per forum rules only English is allowed.

I'm an Indian, you know the national language here is Hindi, my mother tongue is Bengali, so in that sense English is my third language, but I hate it when I see someone else posting here with non English language or bragging about how to use another language on their Note 2.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Luisit0:
I accidentaly dropped my one x on a bucket full of water and it was in it for around 2 seconds (it took me that long to realize what had happened and snap out of shock). Luckily it had an aftermarket dual layer case that protects the usb port and headphone jack. I quickly pulled it out but noticed it was still on and touchscreen worked fine. I then proceeded to remove the case, dry it with my shirt, turn it off and burry it in a bag full of rice. Its been in it for about 7 hours now, and as I read around the internet all I found was ppl whose electronics (mostly ipods) had been underwater for waaaaay longer, so I dont have like an exact time to wait cuz I dont know how long I should leave it there. This is the first time ever I have dropped a phone (or any electronic besides headphones) on water so Im kinda unclear about things here, so any suggestion is appreciated! Thanks in advanced!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Rusty!:
When I got mine wet (got caught in a storm when out running) I left it in the bag of rice on a radiator for 24 hours. It was perfect when it came out, but I was probably just being paranoid.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Luisit0:
Well my main reason for putting it in rice was cause I was worried about the headphone jack, usb/charging port, mic and speakers. I know the last thing I should do is put it to charge after its been drowned in water and my battery was low so I said what the hell n put it in the rice. So by now would it be dry enough to put it to charge and test mic, speakers and headphone jack? Or should I leave it a bit longer? Btw thanks for ur quick replies!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nespid:
Cheers! I watched a torture test for the one x, and it seemed to hold up pretty well in water. Apparently, that holds true! My gfs iPhone 4s took a swim and drowned. She said the phone hit the water and the screen turned off immediately, never to turn back on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Luisit0:
damn, they seemed to fix that with the 5 though, a friend's iphone 5 fell on his fish tank for about 15 seconds (he said) and he didnt put it in rice or anything and it was working fine when i used it o.O but as for my one x, im gonna keep it in the case just in case xD but i can sure confirm its resistant to water after the incident!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I know its a moot point, and the OP is already using the phone again, but just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents for the benefit (or not) of others:

There doesn't seem to be a silver bullet to how long to dry the device, whether it will still work, etc. It all seems to be luck of the draw.

The fact the phone was only submerged a couple seconds likely is a big factor. Even though nearly all phones are not designed to be waterproof, they are closed up fairly tight. So it takes some time for water to penetrate the casing, and the more water that gets in, the more likely it will get in some area where it will cause a short. So the less time under water, the better.

If it were me, I'd leave the phone in rice for a couple days (I always have at least one older backup device for situations like this, or otherwise breaking or losing a phone). Particularly for devices that are difficult to open up, its going to take a long time for moisture to evaporate and be absorbed by the rice. Small amounts of water will evaporate pretty easily in a couple hours, if fully exposed to the air. But enclosed inside a plastic casing . . . not so much. Even surrounded by rice and with some mild heat, I'd still put the dry time in days, not hours.

And in the end, its really just a crap shoot on whether the device will even work or not (or work partially). My wife dropped her iPhone 5 in the toilet for just a second or 2, some time before Christmas. She did power it off, but did not put it in rice (was at work, and didn't really have access). She made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the local Apple store. They took the phone apart (didn't even know they did that there) and cleaned it up best they could. They told my wife there was no rhyme or reason on whether it will work, or for how long. But my wife powered the phone on that same day, and has been using it ever since, and it seems perfectly ok.

Hello... Recently i bought the galaxy N7000. I have the Ultimate 4.1.2 JB ROM (latest version) and i bought a new 32gb micro SD card. I plugged in the phone and my PC recognize the card. So i replace the destination folder for videos and photos there. When i put a film (700mb) in the card and i try to play it in the phone, my phone plays 1-2 seconds and then stops. My photos are shown stretched and the card seems not to work properly. When i am plugging the card with an adapter in my PC all is good. Videos are playing good and the music too. I format the card in exFAT but nothing happens. i also install the MX Player PRO but i have the same issue. What should i do? Anyone have the same issue???? (when i flashed the ROM, i didn't have the card inside).

Well? Are our phones and the Canadian version compatible with each other?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dht2005:
I'm not an expert (by any stretch), but no... I don't believe we can run this... although it is exciting that CM10 for the E973 has come that far.

I remember reading the comments of a user or a dev much more knowledgeable than I... he said that E973 can run E970 kernels, and E970 can run E973 kernels, but where the E973 has a leg up is that they can run Nexus 4 kernel... or something to that effect. I can't remember who said that and I tried searching for the post but can't find it, sorry.

Nevertheless... we are getting closer day by day, I would assume, and once this phone is running CM10...I'll be hanging up my flashing gloves for at least a year, probably two. :cool:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] YoshiFtJ:
Hello all.

I was helping my buddy with putting on a custom ROM onto his Galaxy S. I did everything required and got the phone to run CM9 just fine. The issue is that his Volume Down button is always being pressed. It's not a physical press, the phone will always just assume it's being held down. This makes the ROM boot up in Safe Mode every time.

This is an issue the phone seems to have had before I did anything to it. I guess it wasn't important enough to tell me until I asked him about it... :eek:

So what I would like to do is either

A) Install a ROM that does not do this. I am not sure which ROMs I could use, but I assume anything built using CM9 will do this.

B) Put the phone back to stock. He is still within his T-Mobile warranty so it would be preferable for him to have a fully functioning phone anyway. The issue I have run into while trying to use the One Click restore is that when I power the phone on with the two buttons and the USB cable being plugged in, it freezes on the "It is not recommended to install another OS" or whatever screen. When the PC detects the USB connection, it reports it as being an non-functioning USB device (tried a few computers and different USB ports. same thing). I also tried installing the required Stock version of a kernel and the CWM version of the stock ROM but it comes back with an error before it can install through CWM.

Any recommendations? I'm not really sure what to do at this point so I figured I would ask before I do something that would brick it.

screen off profile at 122 mhz to 320 mhz, interactive, noop

Most of factory Samsung apps / bloatware frozen via Titanium Backup.

Phone is so fast and smooth that it feels overclocked. And the battery life went up like a mofo!

But, to each his own. Besides, playing 720p videos on a Mini 2 screen is a bit overkill :)
