I applied the OTA two days ago, and since then I have been experiencing the dreaded LOS (Loss of Service) multiple times per day. The radio/modem will not get a signal back unless I reboot the phone. Its like being back on the Epic 4g again.

Tried all the usual fixes like updating the profile and PRL, but to no avail.

Two other complaints about the OTA:

Battery-Life: Definitely not as good as before.

Volume Buttons: When pressing the volume keys to put the device in-to or out-of vibration mode, it does not change the volume for all of the settings (Call, System, Alert, Ringer, Notifications) like it use to. I am having to go to the "Sounds" screen under "Settings" and adjust them individually. It sucks!

But worst of all Angry Birds (Star Wars Edition) keeps crashing. That's the last straw!!!!!!

Anyone else having these issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Regarding battery life, have you run battery calibration and run down your battery to zero since the update? If you have, have you run BBS to see what is wakelocking, or what behavior is different in throttling in your phone? I've seen reports of poorer battery life, but have yet to see anyone with the symptoms do any of the legwork to find out what is doing it. Any info you could provide would be better than what we have to go on now--which is practically nothing empirical or quantitative, and some qualitative complaints.

Regarding the volume behavior...this is a matter of taste, many view the prior behavior as a bug-as in-call volume should never have anything to do with the ringer or notification volume.

I posted battey stats a few pages back not from BBS but from something like it I'll run it again when I get home tomorrow and post the stats if that will help. I rooted and changed a couple of bin files to .bak well added .bak to giff.demon mdnsd.bak, smd, smdexe, That has help so far im my testing got 17hrs with 7+ screen time yesterday the first full charge after the changes. Today seems to be even better
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lyvewire:
I was trying to do this but wasnt sure if you were using Root Explorer app, or Titianium. Are those options found in preferences?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thedome:
I have run my battery down to zero and charged it up to 100 at least 4 times since this awesome :thumbdown: update. I downloaded BBS yesterday and have been running it all day today. I don't really know Jack about what to look for, are you talking about kernel wakelocks, partial wakelocks or both?

On a related note, based on advice in this thread, I disabled location reporting in Maps and my battery life definitely seems to have improved today.

I installed CM10 on my skyrocket and then was trying to flash a new ktoonsez kernel and when rebooted, the phone wouldnt turn on. When i connect to the computer, a window pops keeps popping up asking to format the E drive. 1st i didnt want to format, but ultimately i clicked on format and then the window appeared that windows cannot format e drive.

It appears that something went wrong with the software on the internal memory while flashing and it got corrupted. Now is there a way to format it and install the stock software again?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] koreankabachy:
I recently got into gaming and had a little concern. I was wondering if there is an possibility of damaging the screen by playing games for prolong periods of time. Not the actual glass but bleeding effects or something similar. I notice that I sometimes get into the game and realize that I am pressing pretty hard on the screen.

To give you an example... I got into order and chaos and in that game you use the on screen directional to navigate. Last night I was playing for several hours and had my thumb pressed on the directional pretty much the entire time. After I got done playing I was worried about long term effects such as screen bleeding from pressing on the phone to hard.

Not sure if this is even possible with these types of screens but would feel a lot better is someone can confirm. Not worried about pressing so hard to break the glass but things like screen bleeding worries me.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Are you talking about pushing hard on the screen and having that ripple effect?

Moderate pressure is OK, but I've never pushed down that hard on my screen. Most likely pushing down as hard as you are describing can either crack the screen or cause dead pixels.

If you are talking about playing games for an extended period of time, this could potentially cause burn-in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] koreankabachy:
I guess that is my concern... Burn in and dead pixels... Anyone have this happen? I'm not pushing to the point of potential cracking but harder than typical tapping on a touch screen. I guess I am thinking of tvs and monitors. If you press on the screens, you will get distortion and if done to hard or enough times, can effect the screen. Grated they aren't meant to be touched but I'm still worried about that type of issue. I personally have never heard of this happening on a phone but it doesn't mean it hasn't happened to others.

The main reason I was worried is because my wife's used razr had some dark spots on the screen and not sure how they got there. Not sure if this could have been caused by the previous owner pressing to hard on the screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Well pushing on the screen won't cause burn in. Leaving a static image for extended periods of time will. Even then these screens seem to take abuse pretty well. As for pushing on the screen how the heck are you pushing that hard? Yes you could damage it if you see the screen distorting from pressing on it. Was her razr an AMOLED screen? If so amoled screens are know for black splotches on the screen. So if you made the screen on showing black you can see them. My GSIII had two huge spots and my note II has one insanely tiny spot that is hardly noticeable. Well known issue.

Hboot 2.09

I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone. I'm using the TWRP recovery, and am S-ON. I successfully flashed ViperMOD, but when I got to the start up screen, the touch screen and the haptic buttons would not respond. Thinking it was the ROM, I flashed CM10 only to find that I had the exact same problem there. I'm flashing the ROM first in TWRP and then the boot.img through fastboot. I know it is something software related because the touch functionality works in TWRP but not in any ROM.

Thanks in advance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grizzlywan:
Did you flash the full 3.16 OTA with the tp.img? tp.img works with TWRP 2.4.1.0 and any 3.16 based ROM but not any 3.15 ROM or AOSP rom. If you did, you have two choices. Either you can only use 3.16 roms, or you can try flashing this: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13192-FIRMWARE-S-OFF-1-12-HBOOT-ONLY-Jewel-Firmware-Collection-Latest-Radio-1-12-11-1210&p=286650&viewfull=1#post286650 That is the tp.img from 3.15 firmware and some have reported that it fixes this problem. You must flash this by renaming it to PJ75IMG.zip, putting it in the root of your external SD card, and going to bootloader. Upon request, accept the flash. Make sure you don't have another PJ75IMG.zip file in your external SD card. I'm not sure personally if this works but it's worth trying.

I am having exactly the same issue. I have successfully flashed several different roms (Charmeleon, UR Evo, Viper) and once loaded, I have no touchscreen response at all. At this point, I want to relock it, but when I attempt the RUU, the program doesn't see the phone (all drivers are installed). I can't get the phone to work so I had to buy a cheap tracfone to use in the mean time. Any suggestions? (I wish I'd saved a copy of the stock rom after unlocking but I thought it would work so I didn't)

Also, I have tried flashing MeanBean (which fails outright) and CyanogenMod, Avatar, and Evervolv (all of which hang out on the loading screen and never progress). I just want my phone back.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
What baseband (radio) are you on? If you're on the baseband ending in 1210, you can only run ROM's based on software version 3.16 and you must use TWRP 2.4 or newer.

Here is some info that might be useful:

TWRP v2.5.0.0

HBOOT: 2.09

Open DSP- v31.1.0.45.0815

Sorry guys I should explain my case further. I bought this phone from ebay. It was stuck on a soft brick which Bigdady619 helped me get out of. (Thanks again Bro!). So this is my current problem. Phone is unlocked S-ON. It was already on current HBOOT 2.09 and v 3.15.651.6. Now I need S-OFF but tried to do dirtyracun (on UBUNTU live CD) several times and ended with a "failed connection test error " at step14. went to IRC channel and they said is USB related issue. I have USB 2 and Good USB cable. Dont have HTC original but I dont understand why it has to be that one. I'm an audio and electronics engineer and know how USB works. Anyways thats whats keeping me from the holy grail! On the other side I cant flash touchpanel firmware cause Im not S-OFF. I've spent ****less hours on this forums and havent found an answer to the touch screen problem, other than flashing the firmware, which some people with the same problem have done and still no fix. At the moment I have a what seems to be a perfectly working Viper 4G 3.1.5 installed. Its the only ROM that would install correctly anyways. Touch panel works only on TWRP. I will try dirtyracun one more time and lets see what happens. thanks for paying attention to this aggravating problem.

***Update*** I just finished doing dirtyracun process. Problem: Step 14. Enable USB Debugging on your device. Once I flash the RUU ( step 11) The phone reboots to ROM (Viper 4G) with USB Debugging disabled. Due to touch panel issue I cant enable it and finish up the process! Apparently after burning Google down theres no way to enable USB Debug through adb or fastboot. Im stuck!

Hi there!

If this was answered, then I don't know how to search, delete this thread.

Let me approach this problem from a different angle.

I have used a lot of ROM since I have this beauty.

What I would like is an option to install softkeys on any ROM.

You probably used ROMs that come with this feature out of the box.

What I want is to be able to install, flash, enable it if we can.

I do not know why can't we have this, is it a feature problem, the ROM I am using can't be modded this way or no offense, is it the Developer's lack of knowledge in this matter or what else?

So please, I just want to understand this if I can't have what I want then why is that? Just a simple answer.

But if I could do it, please direct me to the correct post.

Thanks a lot. :)

To search the HD2 formus specifically, click on the link in my signature.

As far as I know, you can enable soft keys on any ICS an JB ROMs. On lower, you may be able to find that option under "Cyanogen Settings" if you have a cm ROM(GB).

Otherwise, use any of the softkeys apps available like "zMooth" (this is not the best, but it's what came to my mind now)

The problem is that my ROM is a Sense UI ROM from Boxmax.
