ChargeAnywhere readers and Galaxy Note 2 II

I haven't been able to get audio-jack credit card readers to work with my T-Mobile SGH-T889 Galaxy Note 2, including one from IDTECH called the Shuttle, and another branded by ChargeAnywhere. It seems that they are not able to connect to the app. When doing the Setup Peripheral Devices routine, I notice that the phone vibrates once, then the sound icon shows mute and vibrated, which seems incorrect to me. I can't find any settings in the system that seem to relate to it.

I wonder if the 4-ring connector in the Samsung devices might not work with such readers, even though they have a tip and 3 other rings; the upper ring seems not fully engaged at least in one reader (I am not sure if that contact is used or not).

I thought I read that the square reader will work..I ordered one for free from their website but haven't got it yet. My free Paypal here reader doesn't work for squat...seems to be common among note 2's

I have gotten Paypal here to work. Cleanrom 1.5 with Saber kernel 16 and voodoo sound installed. I just loaded the latest Paypal Here and it works when I swipe it. I decided to test the new version. Make sure your volume is all the way up. Got that from their Tech support. It fixed my infuse.

I think if you are rooted you will have problems with PayPal here because my OG note was rooted and I couldn't get it to work at all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I can't believe it is working on your Note 2. The credit card reader still won't read for me. I tried it while unrooted and it didn't help. I think that I read that it works on non-stock ROMs.

Also, my phone is rooted, but root is disabled and still the same thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] livingaboard:
I can't get it to work on any cleanroms..I will check cleanrom 4.7 after it is done loading and I have everything set up buy Paypal has been a pain in the a s s. Square register works fine though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zorachus:
Have you seen this crazy awesome theme on the international Note II ? To me it looks like it uses a brand new system sort of like AOKP, but for Touchwiz ROM's only. Pretty insane stuff, and makes the stock Touchwiz phone, look like a Nexus or pure Android, but still Touchwiz underneath. But not a cheap wannabe looking theme, it looks just like stock AOSP.

Sounds like complicated stuff, but looks great.

I've got a problem that seems to be unique. (Or maybe I'm just special...;))

Short story:

-Compiled latest CyanogenMod for my phone, put CM zip and gapps zip on the device and went into recovery (CWM 6.0.2.3) to flash them.

-Wiped Data/Factory Reset, Wiped Cache, Wiped Dalvik Cache

-Flashed CyanogenMod and Gapps

-Rebooted

The device was obviously soft-bricked, so I followed these instructions to unbrick:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840030

This guide worked, and I was able to boot into TouchWiz.

Upon completion of that^ wonderful adventure, I embarked on a mission to get CyanogenMod back on my device.

I followed these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875914

...okay for the most part.

I used the command line utility to root the device, I used EZ-Unlock to unlock the bootloader, and I used RomManager to flash the rom.

Finally! I should work, right? Ya....no :(

I wiped data, caches, and the VM's cache, flashed and ended up with a soft-bricked device again. I went through all the steps 2 more times and I still can't flash! HELP??

P.S. I've tried other ROMs, Gapps, and I even flashed CWM Recovery to give it a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajrty33:
Whatever happened to people just rebooting into recovery and flashing something else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
You're special indeed. You are not following the directions put forth by the ROM developers in flashing their ROMs. Also some ROMs don't require you to flash Gapps as it is already part of the ROM. There is also a chance that you are flashing the wrong gapps. Give me a list of ROMs that you failed to flash that way I know for sure how to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jwattt:
prerequisites

which Cyanogenmod are you flashing? and by soft bricking, what were the symptoms? like could you get back to CWM? or TWRP?

I would like to be able to copy and paste files to the SD card of my Note 2 from my computer over my home network. In windows 7, I am able to see other computers in my house and transfer files between them. Is this doable with my Note2? Currently my method is copy files to drop box, then open drop box and export to SD card...

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BraindroiD80:
Yes. You can download apps I like samba file sharing or you can use es file explorers lan function to transfer files...

Thanks but I already had es file explorer and am able to access my files on my computers but I wanted to know if it's possible to access my phone files while on my pc without having to connect the usb cable. Thx

SSHDroidPro and WinSCP. Or just use Samba Filesharing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Superguy:
You could ask a kernel dev to implement CIFS. I've seen it on other phones so it can be done.

Whether you can find one to do it or not is another story.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
Sounds like Airdroid is for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xdadevnube:
Man, I realized that the Note 2 won't work with Samba filesharing apps. There is some issue with the wifi interface not being detected. Lame.

SSH and WinSCP may be the only solution I know of that works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] haha438:
Hey guys, recently (today 1/28) i noticed my galaxy note 2 automatically bypasses the lock screen whenever the screen wakes up (so no ripple effects, and i have no lock or pin or pattern set, so just a swipe would work). So I tried setting up a pattern lock, and similar thing happens. The phone would wake up, go to home screen for a split second, then returns back to the lock screen with the pattern lock.

I was wondering, does anyone know whats wrong with this?

Extra information: I used to have GO launcher on it with their custom lock screen. However, I uninstalled everything already, so that shouldn't be a problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eurohomie:
it's Go Locker... it's not the best lock screen replacement... you should turn off the go locker lock screen and turn on the stock one. Clear defaults on Go Locker and set it to just Go Launcher and enable the original lockscreen after disabling Go Locker
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] haha438:
but I have already cleared w/e data that Go Locker has and then uninstalled it. So i doubt that Go locker is causing my lock screen bypassing problem, unless it was some sort of glitch from when i had it (i used it for 2 days)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eurohomie:
did you reboot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] haha438:
I tried rebooting, removing battery, rebooting without SD card. So far nothing works. Odd thing is that, during the early part of reboot when the widgets are not fully loaded yet, this problem don't exist. But when the widgets are fully loaded, this problem returns
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BACARDILIMON:
I am using stock and for like less than a half of a second that happens. Nothing u can really do with it.

Wow thats really strange... ive only had it happen with go locker and not the stock lockscreen

I have had random apps do that had music controls for lock screen turned on from an app the other day do it to lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] haha438:
Problem is completely solved now. Apparently, it is the result of a bug/glitch in a chinese music streaming app that I got from Google play. Also, thanks to everyone that replied to this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KSHAPE:
I had the same problem, I had the "Lock instantly with power key" unchecked, however the phone still locks it right after I push the power key no matter how long I set the lock time. Then I found out that whenever I have the Kugou Music running, it does that. So as long as you quit the program when not listening music, you are fine.

And there's actually one setting on Kugou Music that override the lock screen.

I don't know too much about how to fix windows.

But when you are using ubuntu,

did you put in this line to your /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"

btw, the 51-blabla filename can be 51-xxxxxanything

once done

sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

plug in your tab to USB port

then if you have your Android SDK, you should have adb?

do

adb devices

does it show your tab?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spilot:
I did what you just said. There's nothing. :|
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Hmm..

Out of idea.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czach5932:
If it isn't recognizing the sd card you could try another one. Format it in the tablet, plug it into the computer, put the update on the sd card and update that way and see if it gets recognized that way.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spilot:
What do you mean by 'put the update on the sd card'. What update?

Anyways, what I tried is that I used another SD Card (128MB), placed it in, formatted it in the tablet, and plugged it into the computer. Nothing happened on the PC. :|

'adb devices' doesn't show any devices connected either.

(I wanted to confirm that 'adb devices' is indeed working so I tried plugging my Android phone (ST-GT602) and ran adb devices- it showed it. But not the tablet.)

Is there anything other than z4root to root a phone without a USB connection? Or is there anything that might trigger the tablet to let the PC identify it? For example, is there anything that I can place on the SD Card (through another connection.. using my phone for example), then plug it into the tablet, then run that application?

I don't care if it's for rooting or not. Perhaps it would help.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Why don't you spend that $15 at the shop?

Very curious why it works for him.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czach5932:
You might find the Android update online (ICS to GB) or something like that and try to flash a signed update but if your computer doesn't recognize an Android formatted sd card I'm not sure how you would get the card formatted and then get the information to the card. You might search for the update on your tablet, download it and flash it using stock recovery. Maybe getting it updated might work but I have no idea why an out of date tablet won't show up

Also you could try searching online for modified drivers for the device.

Par that I have no idea. Might have to go back and pay the 15 but I would ask the repair guy if you could watch step by step what he is doing.

Hope the best for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chill8:
I recently bought a Note 2 ( i317M, Rogers, unlocked ) as a gift for my Dad. My dad speaks Chinese natively but the phone comes with only English, French and Korean. I wanted to flash CM10 / AOKP on it but I was not sure if they come with Chinese.

So I brought the phone to a local phone store and had them flash a ROM with Chinese on it. Everything seems to be working properly after but the Model Number became GT-N7105 with Baseband version I317MVLALJ2. So I'm guessing the guy at the store flashed a N7105 ROM on it? Is there any problem keeping it this way? If I flash a proper ROM back, would it change the model number back to i317M?

Thank you in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] FligMupple:
From what I understand, if the phone is working properly, then you have a ROM that is designed for the i317M, but is "tagged'' as a N7105 ROM.

I have a Bell Note 2, and I'm using the new AT&T CM 10.1 ROM. It shows Model Number GT-N7105, but I know for sure the ROM was branched from that model at some point and adapted for the i317M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chill8:
Thank you for the prompt reply FligMupple! I was worried that having a ROM for a different model might 'break' the phone somehow, but if the model number is just a tag as you said I really shouldn't be worrying to much I guess.

Could you advice if the ATT CM10 ROM has Chinese? I want to have a stable ROM on it before giving it to my Dad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chill8:
Actually now when I connect the phone to my PC, it shows GT-N705 has connected....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reaper0000:
Is it OK to flash kernels for the N7105 on i317m?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Kernel and ROM, yes. Modems, no.

Edit build.prop if you want it to show "SGH-I317M" (or "Potato 2" for that matter) again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debvlad:
short version: I have a Captivate, that does not boot to download menu, does not respond to Power button, does not have anything on the screen.

Question 1: how do I boot it to download mode?

Question 2: how do I flash from here?

Long version: phone was running Serendipity VII well. I wanted to upgrade it to SlimBean, but after flashing the ROM it did not recognize any mobile networks. I decided to flash it back to stock and go from there (this was successful with another phone). I was using Wolf's AIO toolbox > Odin 3 button fix. Odin finished flashing successfully (as per message window), but after it the phone's screen went dark. Could not power it up for nothing! Phone does not boot up to Download mode.

What I think might have happened, I somehow flashed/erased/damaged bootloaders by my last ODIN procedure (maybe had a checkmark when I shouldn't have)

I am at a loss. The worst part - it is my friend,s phone. Mine was flashed without a glitch.

so, assuming I can boot it to Download mode, what is the best way to end up with a slimbean rom. Do I need to flash it to froyo, GB, ICS? what about bootloaders? recovery?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
The AIO Toolbox Odin 3 Button fix had a Warning attached to the OP of the thread informing users that it could brick their phone. Because the flash back to stock with the 3 button fix only had the sbl.bin bootloader and not the boot.bin bootloader. So in the end, because the bootloaders with Serendipity VII must have been i9000 GB, it sounds like u got mixed bootloaders which = Hard Brick. Ur only fix now is Jtag. Contact mobiletechvideos.com to get it repaired.

U could try a Jig to get into Download mode...but I believe u r hard bricked. :(

I too bricked my phone 2 days back. No signs of life. It's dead. Not able to get into download node also. Jig works for me. So I suggest you to use jig..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayman07:
Has anyone bought a Nexus 10 from a place other than the Play store and had to RMA their device? I am curious as how Samsung's service is in terms of getting a replacement unit out to you. Getting a replacement unit from Google is pretty simple but is it as easy to get one from Samsung? Do they attempt to fix the device (for example, if you had light bleeding) or do they send you out a new unit?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttrap:
Bad service.

I bought mine from walmart and thought my battery was bad. I called samsung and it was painful to say the least. They transferred me 5 times. Once they sent me to google cause they said they didn't handle nexus products. Google sent me back to them I picked the wifi only option and they told me again it was a google product I told him I just got transferred back by google. He sent me to the manager who again tried to tell me they didn't deal with nexus products. So I told them my problem and told them I felt the battery was bad. He finally just said okay I'll put in a ticket for you to send it to Texas (I believe he said, wasn't really listening as I felt I should have just got a new one). He said the process would take somewhere from 2-3 weeks. I said forget I'll just deal with the bad battery until I can buy one and replace it myself.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayrod1980:
The shipping process with Samsung is much the same except that it takes multiple transfers on the phone to find someone that has a screen that can do an RMA ticket on the device. My problem is that in doing the work they don't really make sure they solved the problem you had. I had my screen replaced and they put a worse screen in with four corners of large light bleed and they even managed to scratch up the back of my device. I was upset to say the least and had to ship it back for them to fix their shoddy workmanship. On top of that... I sent mine back on the 16th and it didn't get opened until 2 days after arrival. As of a week ago it has been sitting on hold waiting for parts. So its been in Samsung's hands now for 2 weeks and no word on when they will get whatever parts they need in stock or ship it back. When you ship they pre pay a 2 day air ups label and send it back 2 day air as well. Hope to get it back reasonably soon as the device has been out of use now for over a month. First trip took about two weeks total. Second trip who knows.

BTW, I did buy mine from play but was tired of worse RMA replacements. Everything was perfect on mine other than a little dimming along the camera edge of the screen and a dead pixel.

Sent from my often RMA'd Nexus 4, So that I can use the one I'm using now when I get the 6th and hopefully final one.
