I have the exact same problem on Canadian XT 925 all stock. Every time the phone is turned on, it goes back to the android robot with blue orbits moving in the stomach(repair), then the screen just goes black. The only work around I found is to use 3 button combo to go into recovery menu and hard reset the device, but this happens every time I turn the phone on and off.

I have lots of dust underneath the rear view camera's lens. It showed up spontaneously today during heavy use of the camera and walking around, and never occurred before I sent it in to Samsung. Is it easy to tear down the tab and air dust under the glass?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickTheMajin:
Just call Samsung and demand a new tablet or a refund considering the ordeal you've already gone through with this thing. Don't take it apart yourself because then you are just throwing your warranty out the window (A warranty you obviously need since your touchscreen doesn't even work properly).

Finally managed

I have now manged to upgrade. I am on Vodafone I had some problems and failed to update OTA. After several attempts I managed through KIES, which is now working. It seems to be quite smooth, as far as I can tell it does not have multi-view (I hoped it would).

I am quite happy so far.

Decided to take the plunge with this stock ROM. Been running for 25hrs now, Flashed with battery at 100% and as i type this battery is at 70%. Usage has been 60mins Bluetooth audio, installing all my 43 apps from play store, dozen texts, 10mins of calls, 10mins of internet and email. I expect in 28hrs time it will be given its first charge since flashing.

No lag, no heat, brill battery time, and fast n smooth.

Also , something to note for other users, I'm not on Vodafone, in fact I'm on three(uk), this ROM chose the correct csc for me, i had expected to input my carrier settings myself, this was not the case.

Um

Just set up my phone with this new vodafone rom as I am in uk and on vodafone, thought it sould be a good thing. I got 2 days and 1 hour ago I checked facebook and the screen stopped working. Then it went black. Then I decided to soft reboot and it stuck on the samasung galaxy note boot screen. I tried wiping cache etc but the only thing I could do was wipe data and start again.

Love the rom but not sure should I restart the setup as I don't want it to shutdown again. Any advice or has this happened to others? I have never had such a bother with any ics or gb roms. Is it a jelly bean thing?

Kies updates

If someone is kind enough and has the time, could they give a little review on this latest kies update on unrooted phones :- i.e

Lag or not

Missing icon and added ones

Standard features that are missing from gb 2.3.6 and ics 4.0.4

New features including lock screen icons

If there are any problems (Reboots etc.)

Camera, and battery performance when available, and general reasons to upgrade or no.

Naturaly I'm asking this for my wife and myself, but it seems like this might stop the forum getting clogged, as every one that tries to find simple information on a purely kies updates has to try to try and wade through all the problems that may or may not be caused by side loading. I've noticed that people who have been full of joy that they have finally plugged into kies and found an update after nothing for months and try to share it are insulted and called fools, but if you try to look for any info on a new kies update, that version, thats new to you and all the kies wallas, has been leaked months ago with all the attending problems on post after post of csc this and odin that and tar the other, there should be a simple thread every time a new kies version comes out with all the simple bread and butter stuff for nubes and if they want to trole for extra tech info they can, without either getting insulted or causing themselves hours of frustration or provoking them that do it to badmouth innocent people, not including all the moderator work and wasted reading through by techies we rely on for the very backbone of the site. I wonder if one of the guys in a position to do it, might do it on every forum as we have not got many kies udates left, a sticky thread named something like:-

nubies- PURE NEW KIES UPDATE THREAD.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spotfist:
To be honest I am not liking this update have to read up on a few problems but my phone seems to be running slower and the batter is being raped by using only the screen!

Also have had an issue with my sd card, it seems to have partitioned it twice so at first glance I thought I had lists my pics etc but it's just on another partition? Like I said I need to look into it but sods law I'm away from my over this weekend so will have to live with it for now. I also noticed a few apparently crashing for no reason but this may be down to the partitioning... think I might do a reflash and install.

Pisses me off that us uk folk had to wsorry so long for such a crap update!

Anyone else having issues?

oh dear, im on gingerbreak and now worried what this update will do to my phone :(

i just wanted jellybean so i can install apps that arent available on gingerbread as well as google now and the function of holding the home button and swiping away recent apps and the main thing of increasing performance as this phone is embarrassingly slow sometimes especially around friends at uni

tbh mate i don't have much time and am not techincal to go researching on software updates. I would rather pay someone to do up or root my phone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _pigro_:
I have a CPW note on 4.0.4, Sammobile still shows that as the most current version for my note. I got the OTA update and downloaded but it won't install, it says there was a problem and to try using KIES. Annoyingly, I am now getting prompted to install the downloaded upgrade every 3 hours

Questions:

1. can anyone advise how I can prevent this annoying prompt so I can just leave my phone as is until CPW release an OTA?

2. If I download KIES and install the 4.1.2 Vodafone release that way, will that change my CSC, and therefore reset my phone back to factory defaults? I know that some upgrades are 'wipe' and some 'non wipe' but not very sure how to tell the difference - or what a 'wipe' actually does as regards my installed app's and their configs (particularly a pro version of pocketcloud RDP).

3. If I upgrade to the Vodafone version via KIES or ODIN and my phone gets wiped (either due to change of CSC or because it's just a wipe image), how do I reinstall pocketcloud pro without having to pay again?

Sorry for the dumb questions, I have rooted my phone before and I've upgraded via ODIN too, but I've never used KIES and I'm clueless about the CSC stuff, other than a suspicion that if I install the Voda upgrade over my CPW version of ICS I'll end up with a factory default?

TIA for any advice
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Final5k:
After 3 days of using the unbranded UK LSZ, I must say I am very happy about it - this is probably the smoothest stock rom I've used. Only battery life seems to be a let down but this does not bother me really since I have 2 batteries.

Only thing I did after updating was to flash phil's kernel, make a wipe cache & factory reset, and remove unnecessary processes from the rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Barkotron:
Is it rooted? I had the same problem on CPW, but after flashing a stock/unrooted kernel it let me upgrade OTA. BTW, this IS a CPW firmware. I'm now running.

I quite like it, Google Now is spooky (I have never told it where I live, but it now tells me how long it will take to get home when I'm at work), and the lock screen icons are handy.

However, there is a problem with the messaging - before the upgrade, any texts I got would scroll in the status bar on arrival, telling me who they were from and the whole message: now it just says "Messaging: new message".

Has anyone seen this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _pigro_:
I was rooted on Gingerbread, but I flashed a standard CPW ICS when that came out.

Sammobile shows that there is an unbranded UK/Ireland 4.1.2 available, but the latest CPW firmware is still the 4.0.4 from last July. Obviously the unbranded one would do fine except that (I think?) it would have a different CSC code from the CPW and so would do a full wipe during install? I'm hoping that when CPW release 4.1.2 it will either work OTA for me, or I'll be able to install via ODIN without a wipe - is this likely?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Barkotron:
I'm running the CPW OTA release now - I think it showed up as an update last Wednesday - but it failed a couple of times with the error you mentioned before I remembered I was using PhilZ's kernel instead of stock. Once I flashed the stock kernel back instead it completed the upgrade without any problems. I don't know why this hasn't showed up on sammobile yet and I don't know how to get an image of it to upload anywhere I'm afraid.

Are you definitely using stock everything at the moment?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] unluckyppp:
I have been trying to install the OTA but it always fails (I am on CPW XXLRK). I have reflashed back to stock XXLRK 4.0.4 using Odin (just checking the PDA option) but OTA still fails. Should that be enough to make OTA work and remove Philz? Any idea what would make the OTA install fail other wise?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Barkotron:
I'm trying to remember what exactly I did: I'm pretty sure I just downloaded the LRK _kernel_ only and flashed that with Odin, but I now can't find the thread I downloaded it from. I didn't do any wipe or anything - just flashed the stock LRK kernel instead of PhilZ.

I'm 99% sure I didn't do anything else other than this.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _pigro_:
I am definitely on stock ICS - I did flash a different radio (reverted to the GB radio as I felt the new one was a bit weak) but I didn't think that would affect upgrade to 4.1.2?

It sounds like I need to wait for the CPW to make an appearance on Sammobile I guess, unless anyone thinks that by reflashing 4.0.4 stock I may be able to do the OTA thereafter? If that is a possibility, how do I ensure when doing so that I don't lose my installed apps, homescreen layout etc.?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jamieross:
That's exactly what I did. I wanted to go back to stock after many rom flashes and forget root etc. So I went back to cpw gingerbread and let it update ota all the way to jellybean. Have to say great build a few niggles that are annoying but overall I'm happy.

ive managed it somehow - updated to 4.1.2 using the vodaphone rom, as wasnt get an ota update and running low on patience :P ........working quite smooth so far.

only problem ive started noticing is that i cant seem to open any files at times, getting an eror message saying that "Not enough space, Delete files etc etc " !

I have a 32 GB external, and 16gb internal memory on my phone.

when i check the internal memory, i dont really have anything in there, except system files and folders for applications, most of which are empty as ive moved everything to the external memory card.

My question is, Can i format the internal memory without loosing any critical files ? or would i need to first make a copy of all files and then format it ?

sorry might be a noob question, but if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated - hopefully without the wisecracks :P

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tommychong76:
Copy your internal and external contents to your PC. And wipe everything. Format internal, format external, factory reset. Then copy the stuff you need back. It'll be smooth and after the initial hassle of reinstalling your phone will be better than ever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] illmatic75:

No, you'll keep the ROM, but it'll be back to the state it was when you took your phone out the box. back up all your camera pics etc before doing this.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] quadrupole:
Tried the CPW over the air update. First few days was ok, not noticed any excessive battery drain. Normally charges overnight when phone switched off.

But yesterday I had drained battery fully, it shutdown automatically. After charging overnight while off, turn it on and it decides to go crazy. It thinks it is plugged in and charging when it isn't. Lockscreen on all the time. Rebooting makes it flip between the grey and green battery icons. Only way of booting the phone is by using stock recovery, or plugging it in.

I'm guessing this is a 4.1 issue. If a complete wipe doesn't solve it, then it goes back for repair. Anyone seen this with CPW or other roms?
