[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeselcyde:
I haven't posted in a while but am rather frustrated with the quality control on the 10.1's I've encountered.

The first one I bought the screen was totally glitched out. Couldn't even initiate the start up screen.

I returned the lemon and got second one about 2 and a half months ago. It's been perfect....until tonight. I have never really used the S PEN until as of late but it's fantastic so I've obviously been using it more and more. I've noticed a 1 inch bar deadspot while using the S PEN. Place your Note landscape and it's about 3 inches from the left side and this 1 inch bar goes from the top of the screen to the bottom (when in Landscape). Over that region I described, the S PEN WILL NOT work. It works fine as a touch screen, just not with the S PEN. I've rebooted, turned it on and off, tried it on different applications, even took the case off in case the magnetized case was causing it, etc. I'm running a rooted stock 4.1.2 JB rom.

Luckily I purchased it from Costco and my 90 days is up the 2nd week of May.

This thing is definitely going back soon, but, how can I justify buying another one when I've gotten two defective ones??

I'm not sure what else is out there on the Android tablet front, but I think I'll be in the market soon.

Could just be a bad batch the store got. If there was a problem with their shipment then thats just bad luck for the consumer, besides, everyone knows that third times the charm....:p:laugh:

And it really is worth trying again for, no other android tablet has the spen which is a really good little thing to have....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulbous:
It's not inside a case containing magnets is it? Some of these can interfere with the digitiser
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bomczz:
Beacause you are using it while charging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] highaltitude:
If you dial this code number *#197328640# into your phone dial pad you can get to a hidden service menu. (note: use the lower left button to go back each time you select something, otherwise you have to dial the whole number again.)

On my International SGS3 (GT-i9300) I can go in here and select different data frequencies by going to UMTS -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control -> Band Selection. There is other data as well, though this AT&T one seems to have less info in there.

*you are at your own risk if you play around and change things in these menus!*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jrtireman:
What does different frequencies do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] XsMagical:
thanks for the info, i wonder if the T-Mobile one will have the AT&T LTE frequencies
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:
Hey guys,

My power button seems to be pushed in...

it's not that pronounced..

Coming from an S2, the buttons seem/feel really pushed in. i can barely feel it.

I've looked at videos and high quality pictures of S4 on review sites, and they seem to be more popped out.

My power button looks/feels strangely pushed in.

Is this a defective unit?

seems like volume buttons are a bit under-pronounced..

how about you guys?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bjray:
Post some images so we can compare them to our S4's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:


EDIT: it just feels really pushed in.. like when I press it, i don't feel it going in a lot. Maybe this is how they designed it?

The "click" sound is lower in volume and not as "Crisp" in feeling. (relative to my S2)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bjray:
Your power button does look a little more recessed than mine...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:
thanks for that information!

hmm what do you think I can do about it?

exchange for a new one?

would i be able to do that in the corporate store even though I got it off of online preordering?

would they accept this as a reason for exchange?

I have 14 days =(

Thanks in advance for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jem417:
Mine button looks like that too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:
how does it feel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jem417:
Compared to my GS2 Skyrocket if feels a lot softer. My GS4 doesn't have the same resistance and travel distance as my Skyrocket but the SRs button was almost flush with the device so to me the GS4 button feels more pronounced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] highaltitude:
My s3 was like that. I opened up the phone, cut and placed a tiny piece of scotch tape behind the button to make it stick out a tiny bit more. Worked good, but when I did this the phone wasnt brand new so its your call. Maybe exchange it at the store?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:
hmm yea those are the words i was looking for "resistance" and travel distance..

thanks for the reply!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:
hmm yeah i need to be 100% sure that mine is a defect before trying to exchange it.

I can exchange it for a new phone at the AT&T store right?

would this be a valid reason? I'm worried that they won't let me..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] highaltitude:
well, I would certainly try while the phone is new. Tell them your are concerned that if its pushed in this much now, that after using the phone for a year ( or however long) that your worried it will be pushed in even more. Worst can happen is they say no. At least you can compare it to another phone anyhow. I will say mine has been like that since I bought it and it has not affected the operation other than having a case over it, then you have to really push the button hard to get it to work through the case, but that was on a certain case, and doesnt seem to be as hard on my other case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:
Okay, I will try to go exchange it!

Thanks for your help =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cl_l:
You're fine, pretty sure they're all like that mine is too. Maybe they did it to have it "blend" in more so it all looks like 1 solid unit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:
Its ok if I press it with my fingernails, but if I try to press it with my thumb, its really hard...

Plus my wifi keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting... so annoying =(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hamzer11:
For the wifi connect and disconnect, could it be the power saving thing that was on the S3? From the dialer try *#0011#, then press the menu softkey and select wifi, then turn off the power save mode. I know this would get rid of the constant connect/reconnect on the S 3. Not sure it works on the S 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Maesedroid:
It happened to me too when i switched my skyrocket to the S3. The S3 power button its kinda small and hidden so maybe just need to get a long with it :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:
I fixed the problem!

it turns out that it was constantly trying to connect to ATT Hotspot network. I went into advanced setting and disabled that thing, and no more problems since! =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhong91:
Ok i guess i'll have to deal with it

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheodorK11:
Are these "housings" Verizon compatable? I hope they are seeing as you posted this on the Verizon section of the note 2 forums...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bushako:
I think you got it wrong mate, this is posted in the n7100/n7105 section. I'm not sure what models are sold by Verizon but if its the n7105 then no these housing are meant specifically for the n7100. However, feel free to check the website as they do have alternatives.

Edit: actually I just noticed for some reason the accessories threads are all shared on the different note 2 forums. Although I clearly specified the model above.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Optimistic Pessimist:
With regards to eTradeSupply.com, I purchased a replacement OEM Titanium Grey N7105 battery cover (which specifically says LTE at the bottom near the speaker grill) and it was an exact match to the original battery cover that came with my phone (which I decided to cover with carbon fibre vinyl), with working NFC chip.

The battery cover came from US to Australia in under 2 weeks, which isn't too bad. Was well packaged and was exactly what I ordered.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bushako:
Thanks Rene for the heads up. I'll update the OP with this video if you don't mind. This would prove really useful for a lot of folks at xda since its a cheaper alternative to replacing the whole display unit, although, seldom people are aware of its difficulty.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bushako:
You're right the battery covers are all the same fit. Its just the difference is with the rear housing which has a different antenna configuration.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thatruth132:
How old is that video. .
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bushako:
Give and take a few months after that phone in the video was released. Just a wild guess.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] klect:
How am i supposed to do this at home? i think it's pretty impossible, you won't ever get the quality you get with sending it into maintenance..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bushako:
Ive updated the OP. Its not that hard just need a lot of patience and to be very careful. It really depends on you, and unless youre giving it to a high tech phone repair shop expect the phone to not be in the same quality as it was from the manufacturer. In most cases these technician will charge you for the full replacement of the screen unit as it requires less work and cost you more.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Snakeforhire:
Note to the OP :

might wanna add some small but very handy and quickly worn-out things like the usb plug's pcb, the loudspeaker and /or buzzer assembly, replacement front and rear camera modules, and many specific body parts that are all available at parts4repair.com (a not very well known, but very reliable and cheap site, has a very broad parts stock and some of the best deals I been able to find anywhere for my note2 or galaxyS2. I get all my parts from them and never had a complaint about the service or parts anyways). :p
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bushako:
Thanks for the input mate. Never heard of this site but I'll look into it and update the Op accordingly.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ev0d3vil:
Where can I get the micro USB part? Is it interchangeable with the n7105?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Snakeforhire:
http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-dock-charging-connector-board-flex-cable/

As they don't seem to have the equivalent for the 7105 I assume they're interchangeable.

I'd go ahead and try it : it's only about 20 bucks including shipping after all, and you ain't risking much by swapping out such a part 'for triesies'. At worst it just won't be PIN-compatible and you'll not be able to plug it in, and at the very worst it just won't work (but you won't even have to return it, as the sheer number of N7100 in circulation right now makes the probability of you finding someone who's complaining of a jumpy USB port on theirs a very very high one... Those people are always happy to take it off your hands -especially if you offer to mount it for them -for a small fee of course :p ). ;)

I have been looking all over the place and I can't find just the digitizer? I'm new to the hardware part of the N7100. Is it digitizer sold alone? or is it a package sort of deal? where can I find just the digitizer?

thanks in advance for the help and again amazing post. :good:

u should first go to service guys and show them and know whatthe exact cause or any wiring has gone loose if they its the digtizer then u need one fore sure http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sac...ote+2+digitizer&_nkwusc=note2+digtizer&_rdc=1

This may be out dated, the version for the 7105 and 7100 is slightly different, I actually have the spare part for the N7105 purchased about half a year ago, never had the chance to use it, been using wireless charging.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mishap13:
I have .55 Xperia SL locked BL, rooted and installed CWM.

The problem is every time I go to CWM, and tried wipe Cache/data or format system, it is always failing to wipe.

and it will be stock on SONY logo after I restart system.Thank god I can still install stock 4.0.4 using flashtool.

Please help.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
Which recovery do you install?

Can you use CWM to flash zip files?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mat2057:
If you have a locked BL, I assume that CWM is installer onto the /system partition. So, if you try to wipe /system, it fails.But I think it should work for the cache...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Here, try using this CWM - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1939875

BTW, if you wipe /system then it should not give you any error because CWM is loaded into the ram. Once you reboot though, you will lose CWM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] droidaem:
It's the same for me. Locked bootloader, .55 ICS.

Downloaded a ROM, rebooted into CWM, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and then formatted /system.

Then tried to flash the ROM and only after about 5 seconds it said that it's done.

Got stuck at sony logo when rebooting, couldn't enter CWM, too.

I did this even twice and both times the there was the same result. So I had to flash the official firmware via flashtool.

So, do I have to flash a clean official ICS firmware, root it and then without any wiping in CWM, simply flash the custom ROM?

Such a noob with my XS, although I modded my previous device a lot. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mat2057:
Thank you for the correction. I once used CWM on my locked BL Xperia S and I had an issue with the /system partition. Maybe I did something wrong (but now my BL is unlocked :) )

Hi,

That is funny... A quick math reveals your phone has been used continuously for more than 136 years...

I too had the same HUGE call duration figure but, as cruisin-thru said, once I made & received a couple of calls, the timers reset themselves & now show the correct usage times.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
You should be asking this on Ktoonsez' actual kernel thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jigglesone:
I attempted to do so but since I rarely post on XDA I did not have sufficient privileges to post onto the Android Development forums. I was advised to ask either here or the general questions portion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Fair enough. Now when you say "previous versions" are you referring to previous 3.4 versions before the CM display driver merges or the versions based off Linux 3.0?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jigglesone:
The change log shows Linux 3.0.XX. Specifically needed is the version under change log 03/14/2013 or if available any before that date. Must be for JELLYBEAN TOUCHWIZ. The newer versions have been very unstable with my rom. (DarthStalker X2) I had previously formatted my SD by accident and lost all my downloads. Currently running the stock kernel but it's weaksauce after being spoiled by Ktoonez goodness. Been searching for an older version for about 2 weeks now so it can play nice with my rom again. *sigh*

4g lte (so glad i dropped sprint).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
Yeah Sprint is a joke. What's nice about AT&T is when you step outside an LTE area you have H+ to fall back on. I can easily pull 7-10 mbps down on HSPA+.

I'm also very fortunate to still have unlimited data on AT&T. With these blazing LTE results, I am sure some will go through their data in a day or two.

Can I ask which data plan you are on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Faluzure:
That's hilarious. Coming from a WiMax phone, 7-10 Mbps was my max on WiMax. I know their 4G LTE will be better, but damn... they released their press release for my market back last October and there's still no movement on it 7 months later. I got tired of waiting (because they don't sell WiMax phones anymore), so I'd have to drop to their terrible 1Mbps 3G.

Well, I knew that would be a downfall (I opted for the 3 Gig plan). I could always bump up to the 5G (I think) plan for $15 more. Luckily my work & house has good broadband, so that should tide me over for the most part. If I really needed to stream something, my wife has the Unlimited Data still and I could always use hers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
:) GSM is the superior technology which allows for H+. As much as I have been craving T-Mobile lately, I will be sticking with AT&T. Sprint and T-Mobile are crap carriers in the process of upgrading all their existing cell sites to compete with the big boys. Until that is done, I kinda feel sorry for their smartphone subscribers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Faluzure:
Yeah... I'm going to be another statistic for the next quarter: http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/24/sprint-earnings-q1-2013/ It's sad. I guess loyalty only gets you so far until you start lagging behind your competitors. I was with them for 13 years.

Very happy with my new service though. The most important thing is that I have cell signal in my home and work... basically in buildings. Sprint's coverage was so bad indoors, it would zap my battery trying to look for cell service constantly.
