[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
My note is about 6 months old and rooted since I got it. Was using it yesterday at work. A couple house later at home when I pulled it out it was dead.

doesnt boot on power button press

doesnt react to "vol+/menue/power"

doesnt react to "vol-/menue/power"

nothing detected when connecting to the laptop

coneccting to the charger does absolutely nothing

The only sign of life is a red led that weakly blinks every 7-8 seconds.

Are there any options other than taking it in to the service center?

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabukannappan:
Try starting the phone with some other battery. It might be due to battery problem.

Incase it doesn't change anything, then the only way is to send it to service center.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T511:
Its SDS . Sudden Death Syndrome . Mostly all phones on 4.1.1 affected this. On 4.1.2 its fixed. You might be on 4.1.1. Only solution - Its motherboard should be replaced.

Thanks guys, its with the service center now!

Could you please tell us on which android version was your note 2?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
Wish I could be certain but I believe 4.1.1 How can I find out now that it is dead???

In any case the service center just advised that they will replace the motherboard under warranty.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
Got my note back with the explanation that the motherboard was replaced.

Only problem is that its now back on the Saudi Arabian ROM and will have to go through the whole flashing and rooting and................. but at least its alive even though Oding doesnt reconize it in download mode so will have some research to do.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IT_Fan:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnsdhrn:
My Note 2 also was succumubed to the same symptoms as your's and it's mother board also got replaced.I checked it then eMMC brick apk and it shows insane chip.The only thing we have to do now is to take precaution to be in the latest firm ware and recovery which is SDS patched.Luckily the latest stock firm wares and kernels are SDS patched.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
yes checked the returned note and still have the insane chip and 4.1.1

but I have another bigger problem. the returned note with the new motherboard is not detected by Odin in download mode. I intended to flash a non Arabic pre-rooted ROM but no luck. for a week now researching to find a solution but have not managed it yet.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DM3Droid:
I've been struggling with flashing Cyanogenmod on this device, but finally accomplished it with many hours of trial and error. I'm not a developer and with the limited support this early in the process, it's just harder than most Samsung devices, etc I have flashed. With all of this said, can anyone tell me what is the easiest way to revert back to the original "latest" Sony firmware for the 16gb US version of the Wi-Fi model? I get confused with the custom CWM Recovery I had to push to the device and I don't want to flash something and brick the device. I just want to be very clear so I don't make a mistake. Also, I did try the FLASH TOOL, EMMA, and my device just doesn't show up after following the directions verbatim. My device is unlocked and running the latest CM10 (4.2) and it just has some issues I am not pleased with...Seems a bit laggy in simple games, screen mirroring doesn't work, and the zoom issue in Chrome and other areas is a bit bothersome. Not complaining about the great work the developers have done, just thinking for what I do it may be best to revert back for now. It's just too early I suppose. Thanks in advance.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ian619420:
Anyone tried Gamelofts big games ex nova 3 mc4 amazing spider man and games like real racing 3 nfs most wanted gta 3 vice city, do these games have smooth with the full graphics like on ios devices, since it does have powervr sgx 544? Would it be wise to buy this tablet solely for gaming? I know there is N7 but i heard/seen lots of gamelofts top games perform poorly on it due to optimization.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] pbassjunk:
Most Gameloft games I have (have a number of them and I haven't tried installing them all, so going with 'most') give me the 'Device not compatible' error - both stock and cm. Also, Gameloft really pisses me off because they remove back-catalog games to force you to purchase the newer versions (like Asphalt 5, original Modern Combat & Dungeon Hunter, etc in case you have those).

GTA games run great. Haven't ever tried IOS, but they run full quality and 60fps smooth w/ the nook. Same w/ EA games, all work fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
I have tried Nova 3, MW3, both GTAs, NFSMW and NBA 2013 and all play fairly smooth.

Asphalt 7 though plays, but not smooth. Seems a lazy port since NFSMW and the other "busy" games play smooth.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ian619420:
Does Asphalt 7 on nook retain its graphics like on the iphone 4s/5 etc?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
All I notice is the game is not smooth like my other device or the iPad 4. All graphics seem in tact, but uninstalled. If it was missing stuff, it would have been even less smooth with it.

Hello everyone, i've flashed yesterday the SK17i ICS Stock Firmware Build 4.1.b.0.587, the overall performance is good for myself, however it may seem that WiFi has some 'Weird' issues

It work's i can navigate via WiFi with my Xperia via Wifi on a TP-LINK router and lots of hotspots, actually an TL-WR841N (Wireless B,G,N) that is a kickass router overall for home applications, but since i've flashed to ICS, has a WEIRD behavior that suddenly disconnects, drops and catches WiFi again, sometimes is very fast, but other times takes like 5 seconds OR MORE...

How do i know is an ICS issue?? Well didn't happened at all with GB, and other devices on my home seems to work pretty well (Motorola ATRIX, Milestone II, RAZR i, laptops and blabla...)

Hope someone has tracking or solution under this issue.

And thanks a lot for the community in advice!:good:

I also tried the apk version of the Svoice, but it kept saying can't cannot to network. Anyway. I'm running pacman nightly v6. I really don't need the s4 voice just the regular Svoice apk.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Globespy:
I am sick of the laggy, crappy stock T-Mobile 4.1.2 ROM and would like to install something faster, smoother and better like Wicked ROM.

My employer mandates that no rooted phones can be used if they are used to access corporate network - and they are a global company that are experts in intrusion detection etc. so they can probably detect a phone that is not compliant.

Is there any way to remove root/ensure the boot loader is locked after installing a custom ROM to ensure compliance?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
The bootloader on this phone is not locked.

You can unroot with SuperSU or a billion other apps from the store. But you will cripple Wicked if you unroot it. Maybe stock rooted (debloat it yourself, then unroot it) would be the appropriate choice for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Globespy:
Thanks for the reply. Any recommendations for a good stock ROM that's a better option than the chunk of turd from T-Mobile?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
1: without physically having the phone, there is no way for your IT department to know if you're rooted. If the carrier that provides voice and data service can't differentiate a rooted phone from a not rooted phone, I very much doubt that the it department of your company can.

2: using the rooted stock ROM, then debloating it (better known as removing the tmo crapware), then unrooting, is the best option. Most custom ROMs rely on root access for the customizations they make to the framework, system apps, etc. Stock ROMs do not.

Sent from my T999L on PACman
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I am one who believes the carrier and/or manufacturer are able to tell if you're rooted. Or they have the ability to anyway. Things such as sysscope make this possible. And if they can check your imei they can check more, if they want to. Lots of info gets sent back to google, sammy, T-Mobile, etc via check-ins and such.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Globespy:
This was my thinking, and the company that I work for is one of 5 on the planet that does what they do - they essentially provide the entire physical backbone that allows companies like Microsoft, IBM, major banks etc actually HAVE internet. I'm certain they know exactly what's going in the network and have an array of tools designed to ensure full security.

I think the stock ROM, debloated and then root removed is best. I don't mind twiz, would just like my phone to run smoother.

I heard the sgs3 will get 4.3 but lord only knows how long it will take T-Mobile to release it, if ever!

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] InaruMejil:
I work for tmobile & im not from store. And theres no tool other than a physical inspection in store to tell if the device is rooted.

Even the so cal updates comes directly from manufacture they just have the provider crap the provider request.

I can see who you call, and who call you & for how long. Not hear the call. Text same **** we have no acess to the content. As far as what in your phone thats for you to know and for carriers & your company to find out.

Theres a lot of myths...now theres a few selectec engineers that will have access to the cells & repeater or the switch and if they want to they can see info. But they are not suppose to its against federal laws.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Caloba:
I have the MetroPCS (SGH-M919N) version of the S4. I don't see a specific forum for my model. I was wondering, since T-Mobile and MetroPCS have merged, can I use the same instructions on this forum to root my device. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reignogleph MMXI:
Truthfully, I was wondering why the MetroPCS version didn't have its own forum.

The S4 is particularly important, since it's the first MetroPCS smartphone to use T-Mobile's GSM network instead of their standard CDMA. You can use your S4 in places where you never had MPCS coverage before -- in Portland, Oregon, for example.

The next place I'm going to look for comments on the SGH-M919N is in the T-Mobile forum, since we're already using their network anyway.

The standard T-Mobile version of the phone seems to be called the SGH-M919 (sans N).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Caloba:
Let me know if you find anything. I'm dying to root this phone and get rid of all this Samsung and MetroPCS bloatware, thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gypsy214:
Well as far as the S4 all the S4 and even the international quad core version are the same phone. So you wont have any issues there. And as far as not having it's own forum. XDA dont use lower class carriers like MetroPCS and Cricket. You could go to AndroidForums.com they have metro pcs phones in there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nbeebe24:
Thats not true at all. If they were all exactly the same they'd have one root method for all the devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Caloba:
I was able to root my metropcs S4 using the instructions for the T-Mobile version. But now I can't see the contents of my SD card. The funny thing is when I install CyanogenMod, I can see it just fine. The Sd card seems to not be mounting in CWM or in the stock rom. Is this a permissions issue or what? Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gypsy214:
If it wasn't all the same devices then people couldn't flash roms in between carriers and international. These are the same phone hardware. Only thing that change is the modem. Unlike the S3 where you can't flash roms from international but you can between US carriers.

And for root. On my S3 they had to get a stock rom Odin with root in there because it would striped the flash counter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nbeebe24:
That's not entirely true. Most of the s4's are the same excluding the i9500.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reignogleph MMXI:
You seem unaware of this: T-Mobile not only bought MetroPCS a few months back but are using their own network mainly -- not simply MetroPCS's -- for the Galaxy S4 currently sold by MetroPCS.

The whole reason I bought a MetroPCS S4 is because I can use it anywhere in the US that you can access the T-Mobile network and because I can unlock it and switch to T-Mobile if I like in three months' time.

Both T-Mobile and MetroPCS have confirmed this, and it isn't true for any other current MetroPCs phone.

Also: Most analysts have concluded that the introduction of a cutting-edge phone like the S4 is unprecedented for that carrier and is likely T-Mobile's idea.

The phone was was $100 cheaper than from T-Mobile and the monthly service is a lot less expensive (unless you can use Google Voice with a legacy plan on T-Mobile).

So why was it again that you felt the standards of XDA members were too high for them to use MetroPCS?

Oh, and the single difference in iterations of the phone itself appears to be one added letter. T-Mobile's S4 is the M919; the MetroPCS/T-Mobile version is M919N.

Those are the reasons I'm hoping that someone at XDA might confirm that this is essentially the T-Mobile iteration.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reignogleph MMXI:
For people who've been wondering whether these iterations of the S4 are the same:

They really are.

Have a look at this conversation between a person rooting their MetroPCS S4 and a ROM dev for the MetroPCS S3:
