[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
I feel as though I should clarify what I am speaking of.

I downloaded the .apk found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2151792

I installed it as soon as I updated my phone to MA7, and I was able to set it up. At that time I believe it worked for everyone. A few weeks later, I was unable to open the app, but I was still able to use the phone to make purchases.

Recently I have downloaded the rooted MC2 ROM with no data wipe and installed that on my phone. Prior to doing this I did a Titanium Backup of Google Wallet. Once I installed the MC2 ROM, I did a restore of the Google Wallet app, and promptly used it to purchase a soda out of a soda machine.

I still am unable to access the app itself, however I can still pay with it.

I am having the same exact issue. I rooted with toolkit and tried installing the OTA after I removed the root and installed back the stock recovery. All to no success. The OTA fails on install about one quarter of the way through (probably in initialization phase) and reboots the phone. Then I get another OTA notification about a week and a half later and the circle completes.

This updated may not be that critical. What worries me is that I will not be able to perform actual OS upgrades to future versions because of this. Do you share the same concern? Is there anyway to reinstall the original stock rom if this one has been broken as you suggest?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
One thing I haven't checked is my kernel. They say you need stock kernel to take ota update. Where can I find what the stock kernel is?

By the way, on xda they have a rooted stock rom with mc2 and you shouldn't have to reinstall your data if you don't want to. Just wipe dalvik. I would post link to it but I can't look for it now. Sprint data here just switched to dialup speeds.

You don't need root to use the no data option on that page. Just don't use the rooted version. But if you really just want the ota and don't want to go that route and you're not rooted and completely stock you could go to a sprint store and ask them.

Frequent System Updates?

My phone has been receiving frequent "system update notifications," approximately twice a week. Each time it comes up, I update but then a few days later, I get another one. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it's some sort of glitch?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Are you rooted? Sounds like your phone restarts but doesn't update. Do you actually get the little green android and then the "android upgrading" message? Post screenshot of your about screen. I think we can figure this out with that info.

Running Stock.

When I click on the system update message it does go through the process, the green android comes up, it status bar completes and the phone restarts.

Attached a pic of my About screen.

I just rebooted my phone and another system update message came up. This time though when I tried to run the system update, it seemed to fail after the little green droid came up. My phone restarted itself and I went into System Update to see if it would update, but it said system was up to date.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
It looks like your still on ma7. The latest update is mc2. If the update doesn't take and your not rooted or ever rooted take phone to sprint. If they can't get it to update they'll replace it. Just remember they will do a hard reset. But you could try the hard reset first.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] captaingrey:
Thanks for the info. Just tried it again and the Android dies before the update takes and the phone reboots. Any idea why this would happen? Anyone else experience this before?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jprecon:
I had this same thing happen on my Evo a few years ago......I had to take in to the sprint store. Not sure what they did, but they got it updated. I rooted it right after and never had to go back to the sprint store. I love this forum, great people and a great wealth of knowledge!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] captaingrey:
Interesting. I just reset my phone and the update still won't install. I was hoping to avoid going into the store. Still wondering if anyone has encountered this and knows what the problem might be or what the fix is?

If Sprint is unable to fix it, do they replace it with a refurbished phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
I am not sure why its happening. but you can either go to sprint or use a one click from the dev section
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] captaingrey:
Sorry, I'm not familiar. Can you explain?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
Odin is a program which sprint will use to fladh your phone to the new update anyways. A one cluck is pretty much the samsung program odin wrapped up In a very easy package. If you look in the developers section I there should be a one click thread for mc2 (firmware). I will grab you a link.

Now navigate to the website by rwilco. Locate your device (note 2) then download the mc2 one click. Follow the instructions to flash the file on your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] captaingrey:
Thanks. There are two files. An exe and a tar.md5.gz. Do you know which I download or do I download both?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
Ok well if you download the app its even easier. Get the 1.4 repo app off the page I linked to. Go through these folders. now a full restore will wipe your data. A no data restore ironically keeps your data such as third party apps and whatnot still there. You can probably get away with the nodata restore. But I recommend a full restore. Use titanium backup to backup your apps and data. Make aure phone numbers are synced to google.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

The exe is what you want. You may need drivers installed. And your phone must be in download mode. Make sure you download the exe to your computer. Not your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Most likely refurbished. But like some options below you have those. But I would take it to sprint first if it's easier. I'm sure they'd be able to push the update for you.

If I use the app do I download the file directly to my phone and extract? Sorry, haven't done anything like this before so I'm unclear as to what exactly I need to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] captaingrey:
As an update, I decided to take it in-store rather than mess with it any further on my own. I hate going in to the store because I've never encountered one where the people have been very helpful. One rep told me that updates are NEVER to be done over the air and that they need to be done in-store. He had no response as to my asking if that were the case, why they offer OTA updates.

He then said they'd have to reset my phone (which I had already done several times and it didn't work). He said they have a special way of doing it which involved running a diagnostic first (which takes 20 minutes) and then loading the update on it via a laptop (it has to be done this way he says because an update will never work when you're trying to layer it on top of another version). He said the setup would take an additional 40 minutes.

Of course he couldn't get working on it right then as the store just opened and he had to watch the front (he couldn't even step in the back to run the diagnostic portion first). He said I'd have to wait an hour for another tech.

After two hours, another Tech came out and told me he didn't know what the problem was but that he was able to update it without problem over wifi. He said he never even hooked it up to the computer. I thought that was odd, but thanked him and started to leave.

As I was walking out, I decided to check what build it was... I found out all he did was load the same one I already had on there. He told me that was the latest and I had to insist that wasn't the case. He said they didn't have anything in their system newer, but that he'd go back and check.

Another 25 minutes later and he came back out and this time it was updated, he said, without problem.

Thanks to everyone for your help, I appreciate it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
I'm glad it worked out. This is the reason why I no longer do any warranty related things at Sprint.

Amen to that. I got Best buy to price match amazon for 100 dollars and then bought the full on protection plan for north my and my wife's note 2's. We have broken both screens and I buried my secure element, take it to bb and two days later new phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Yea. I just purchased best buy warranty with my note 2. Paid up front and saved some money plus no deductible. Definitely the way to go after sprint raised the monthly price for insurance.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] captaingrey:
Noticed a few of you have the Best Buy insurance. Anyone have any Pros/Cons about the coverage?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Best part is no deductible and unlimited claims. Plus they have a loaner program and you can also take your phone to any best buy or best buy mobile.

The only con is waiting for your phone could take only 3 days or up to 2 weeks but I personally have never waited more than 4 days. The other con is they don't offer loss or theft protection. But they will cover almost anything that happens to the phone and they don't care if phone is rooted. Also you can pay for the warranty up front and save. I think instead of $11 a month it's only about $7 and at anytime you can cancel and get a prorated refund.

Personally, I find it to be *incredibly* annoying and pretty much ruins the experience of using this otherwise good phone. I have already been to the Sprint store to possibly exchange it, but their demo unit had the exact same problem (and the employee I was talking to had also noticed the problem). I have also ran "getevent -lt /dev/input/event6" from adb shell (/dev/input/event6 seems to be the raw output of the touchscreen, some people said it is event5 on theirs rather than event6). This shows you raw data every time you touch the screen. However I noticed that when my touches of the home button go undetected, nothing is read from /dev/input/event6...so I am afraid it may be a hardware problem. I have 11 more days before my 14 day Sprint satisfaction period ends, so I'm on the fence on whether or not I should return it and wait for a better phone, or exchange it and probably get another with the same problem, or...wait for HTC to try to fix it with software.

Some have said a recent update to the Taiwan version of the One solved the problem...:

Further evidence that a software patch fixed the home button:

Most likely what you are actually noticing is that not all presses are registered and you are rationalizing it by assuming that you just missed the target. In reality, there is a problem with the home/back buttons that HTC needs to fix, soon.

Same here. I've found that pressing the button with the pad of my finger vs a tap with the fingertip seems to work more reliably - if only because it covers more of the screen that happens to include the tiny area that registers a button press...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] m03sizlak:
I prefer to tap with my fingertip and this is rarely detected by the home/back buttons, which is SOOOO annoying. I'm debating trying to swap it out for a new one. From what I can tell the problem seems to affect EVRYONE, although many people might not notice or be annoyed by it. So the question is, is it truly a pure software fault, or is it a hardware fault that software (ie, an OTA) can mask or at least partially correct.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jaybombz:
That's my preference as well - it has been an adjustment and one that I'm not terribly pleased with. I'm surprised the issue didn't show up in pre-release testing but I have to imagine it's something that software can fix with a remap of the area the system recognizes as buttons.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] m03sizlak:
It's really not an issue with the "area", as I can touch the dead center of the home button and it still won't work. Seems to me that it is either not sensitive enough, or some other problem.

Regardless, word is that an OTA fixed this problem on the Taiwan HTC One 2 days ago, so now I guess we just need to complain loud enough that HTC/Sprint pump out the fix to us ASAP before we all return our phones.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 2k4mach:
Mines like this as well, you can hit the back button dead on and no response. Hopefully they issue a fix somewhat quickly.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TucanMobile:
Having this problem as well. My device was built April 9th 2013. I can sit there and tap on the home button for 30 seconds or more in every way possible and have no registration of the contact.

This might just be wishful thinking but for some reason clicking the app drawer icon seems to fix the issue right away making me think this is software.

Other than this the build quality and everything else seems perfect.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] m03sizlak:
HTC needs to admit they have a problem here and advise us whether we should be returning these or waiting for an OTA patch which will be coming VERY soon.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] treIII:
Really those of you who don't have the problem should be happy that you don't. I see no reason for someone to post in a thread if it's not positive. There is a huge problem with the capacitive buttons. There is also a problem with slow charging. There is also a problem with build quality. It's a great phone but there are some issues. It's to be expected of htc. They've let us all down in one way or another. You'll especially know this if you had the evo lte. The devs made it tolerable. But multi tasking didn't exist. The 3g lte trade off was pitiful. The screen is lifting and separating from the speaker grills on a lot of these phones. I'm an HTC phone fan through and through. This phone is gorgeous. HTC just needs to take the time to release their phones without issues. They are sinking. I think we all know that. This phone is there best try at redemption in a while. The phone seems to be a success. They will get it right. I just hope it's not too late when they do. A lot of people have jumped ship after the one x, one, and evo 4g lte. You really can't blame them especially if they want a device that doesn't require devs just to get it to operate as it should out of the box. I had the evo. It was pathetic the work the devs had to put into it. But remember I say all of this in honesty as I send it from MY HTC ONE. I'm an HTC fan.

Just for the record, I had this problem but after doing the calibration I have not seen it again. Not sure if it was a complete fix on my end but like I said it has not returned since. Also I did the calibration with the power saver on versus it off which may have helped....maybe :confused:

I do know that the cpu gets limited with power saver on and the difference between it on and off, in theory, could change the sensitivity of the buttons. Probably just grabbing at straws here but like I said just a theory. Hey, it worked for me so far.
