Hi All -

I am a n00b to Android for the most part, and this is actually my first post on xda. I wanted to try out Beans S4 ROM - currently running the latest Cyanogen 10.1 nightly. Been on that for a little over a month now.

I noticed the following mentioned in the Beans thread:

"some root apps will not work without a kernel with setuid restrictions removed. i suggest flashing faux or kt747 kernel for full superuser compatability"

Does this mean I need to (or should) flash something before loading the Beans .zip file in CWM? If so, can you walk me through what I'd need to do?

Thanks, and I apologize in advance if my question contains a high level of noob content! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Checkm8:
I do not remember installing a zip file outside of the beans zip I downloaded and I have the faux kernel on my phone. I think if you just install the rom using the zip you will be fine. Remember to do a nandroid backup just in case.

Hi and thanks for any help that you can provide me.

I bought an Galaxy Note 2 SGH-T889 Tmobile version like 7 months ago from a store or reseller in Toronto Canada, the phone was in theory factory unlock, to use with the Wnmobile network which uses the same frequency as Tmobile. The phone was working until 2 days ago. Well always the phone has issue connecting to the network in some specific areas, specially because the Wind network it's not that good, but during the last 2 weeks I noticed more and more problems and some times it was just disconnected showing a circle with an slash or crossed out. After reboot the phone usually fixed the problem, until 2 days ago I had to do it every 2 hours and then the next day it just was permanent. I tried everything so far:

Remove battery and reboot

Remove battery and SIM card and reboot

Use a diiferent SIM card from my son's phone

Replace for a new SIM card

Clear Cache

Factory Reset

Reflash the modem with Odin

The phone has the latest stock ROM 4.1.2, BASE T889UVBMD1

The problem is Samsung say because it's a Tmobile they can not support it here, I have to send the phone to Samsung USA, I still fighting with the store because they said it will be covered locally, but that is another story.

I red many post talking about similar problems with the Galaxy S3 or S4 and one said that installing Jedi X14 fixed the problem, but to do that I think I have to root the phone, which not be a big problem.

The other weird thing is the phone works using other SIM card GSM, not tested with a LTE SIM.

There is any way to test if the radio/antenna for the WCMDA is disabled or broken

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erica_renee:
If the phone is working fine with a friends sim card . There is nothing more then a issue with your sim. go to the store and have them to give you a new sim card or flash the one you have. I had that issue similar here with at&t all the time.. sims would just loose network.. The fix for me LEAVE AT&T

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fasterfoxy:
Yes, I replaced the SIM card and I got a new one.

Just trying to eliminate all the options, I just did a factory reset again, and put it back the SIM card, located outside in an area where I know there is a strong signal and the phone was able to connect to the network and I install the account ans the apps just to test the data connection and it works fine. I was outside for 20 minutes with no problem. Later go back in the building, as soon I was inside for a few minutes the phone lose connection and the circle is back, then reboot again several times, and the phone does not recognize any network, Searching and no network is available.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erica_renee:
Aww you left out that it only does this inside but works outside.. I Would say something is blocking the signal. LIKE maybe the building..

i have two bars in my house 3 on the deck and full signal in my yard ...

its just how it is..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcervantes11:
But he said it was working in side for many month then all a sudden it doesn't work? I understand I live in a mobile home and reception sucks but that from the start but his was working for couple months. I would say he's phone reception receiver w/e it is or something in the phone is screwing up and it will need repairment or replace or service just taking a dump and getting worse.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erica_renee:
You could be right.. or maybe even the provider having issues with that tower .. its a tough thing to figure out..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fasterfoxy:
Thanks for your ideas.

I get tired of trying to figure out was is the problem, so I got a SIM card from a diiferent provider which has the best network coverage and power, and i'ts happending the same, the majority of th etime the strength level is around -110 db even outside, with both providers, so it's the phone.

Now the question is could be possible that the antenna cable got disconnected or broken, (yes I dropped the phone a few times but nothing major) and it was working fine until few days ago. Another option it's some internal hardware is not working normally.

Now I have to find a way to repair becasue Samsung Canada does not want to do it becasue its a Tmobile phone.

Thanks, again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcervantes11:
Anybody with same provider as you? Invite them in you're home see if they have connection. It's best if the person have same phone and same company. Can you send directly to Samsung? I have bad phone service my area with s2 and note 2 but my friend with evo 3d has more bar then me and its made by htc but could be two things ur phone crapping out on you which need repairment or like the guy above said tower signal getting weaker. It is hard to find out. Maybe for now for a bit since it's screw up try a rom but then again rom doesn't control radio settings section but wouldn't harm. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] matbarni:
I'm having the same issue since last month... but with any SIM card.

The network signal strengh rests between -89 to -110 dBm. (Horrible)

The network type is always UNKNOWN:0.

What I already tried:

- Using other SIM.

- Flashing Stock ROM

- Flashing Custom ROM (CM 10.1)

- Flashing all 5 avaliable modems.

What happens:

When I get VERY close to a network antenna... I can make calls and stuff...

What can be happening:

Hardware issues - T-Mobile latest LTE unlocking update maybe burned my antenna (or some network signal related hardware).

Software issues - Can't see how since I used many variations of ROM/Modem.

I live in Brazil and my network is TIM 47. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II T889.

If anyone can confirm perfectly to me what composes the T889 antenna components... that would be nice...

I want to buy those parts from eBay and trying fixing my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fasterfoxy:
Thanks for your feedback it's really valuable becasue it's almost the same situation. Today I cleared up the situation with Samsung, if I want to be service under the warranty I have to bring the phone to one of repair centres in USA which it's kind of problem because I can do it only in the weekends but not impossible or what I'm doing tomorrow is to have an assessment by one of the repair centres in Toronto and I have to pay in this case, if it's something reasonable.

In my case I did not update the phone in 2 months at least so it's not software in my case, but one difference could be I got a new job 3 months ago, in my previous job the majority of the time I got 5 bars , I guess the cell tower was close to that place, and in my house the coverage it's good. In my new job, my office it's in the middle of the building, far from the windows, so the signal always was really bad, 0-1 bar.

Wondering if could be possible that a bad connection can burn the antenna or the circuit that controls the connection.

The other thing is there are many customers specially for the Galay S4 complaining about a similar problem, and I did not find any answer on how to fix this problem.

I'll post any update just in case it can help someone else.

Thanks.

Did you try to disable lte and use 4g/3g/2g only?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] matbarni:
Well... I did... and the problem persists.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Diesel-30:
A also have this problem with T-Mobile Note 2 and have already tried everything you guys have...I guess I got no choice but to request a replacement which sucks because my phone was pristine and worked perfectly otherwise. It's just the damn weak to no signal that's driving me crazy. Especially since I'm paying for premium data coverage and it's pretty much money in the trash every month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Diesel-30:
That's it. I made the call and the replacement arrives in a couple days. They offered me the "jump" program. Anyone on that? Is that worth doing on T-Mobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob219:
I traded an unlocked i317m for a g pro. I just picked up a unlocked t889 as welll. The person with my old i317m want my t889 since hes using simple mobile. Problem is when I went to trade I put his sim in my t899 it wont register on tmobile. Seems its only working with at&t as thats the service I have. Now with the i317m I gave him originally it works with any sim. How is this possible that a unlocked tmobile t889 wont register with his sim on tmobile network but the unlocked i317m works with any sim?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] matbarni:
Yesterday I replaced the microUSB module that is connected with the antenna and replaced the SIM card module too.

That did NOT worked.

So... the problems is problably on the mainboard/chipset... too expensive to fix.

Another big hardware failure for Samsung's history.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Diesel-30:
I've had the replacement for about a week now. So far no signal problems. It's like when I first got my original phone. I'm sticking with the note 2 for at least another 6 months since I joined the jump program. Can't wait to see the note 3 next week :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fasterfoxy:
Update just to close this case

Well, after I sent the phone for repair to Samsung USA, I got it back and the problems happened again after a few days, then I sent it back for the second time to Samsung, got it back and the problem happened again after a few weeks. Basically, I'm getting rid of this phone, now the warranty is already expired and half of the time the phone was full of problems with the network.

The lesson in this case is to avoid getting hardware from the first batch (to wait a few months after the launch) or without a long term warranty (3 years), and probably will be my last Samsung device.

Hey. Came across your posting and I am having the same prob;em. I am in Canada with a t-mobile phone. were you able to get yours fixed or did you just need to get another phone?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJ0206:
Hi,

I haven't posted here before because I am just looking at phones to replace my HTC Desire/Bravo but I have been reading in a few places that the Note II will not be getting JB 4.2.2 but instead Samsung are waiting to push out 4.3 OTA instead, is this true and would you suggest buying the Note II as a replacement?

Has anyone heard of any additional features the update might bring with it?

Thanks in advance

CJ
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shhbz:
well its the best device you can think of as of now until and unless the note3 release so just go ahead and yes 4.3 will be samsung next update for the phone
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJ0206:
Well I can't afford the S4 and the Note II is an amazing device, thanks for the reply :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shhbz:
well over here the diff in price is around 4k Indian rupees but trust me I find s4 to be not worth despite the faster processor,cam,better display I still find the note 2 to be the best .the s4 feels like a baby infront of note2 .

with note 2 you cant go wrong better battery,s pen, bigger display, feels better in hand I would definitely choose the note2.

I HAVE MYSELF OWN A HTC HD2 IN THE PAST AND LOVE MY DAYS FLASHING ON IT BUT TRUST ME YOU WILL LOVE THE NOTE2 BY LEAPS

AND WITH THE 4.3 UPDATE IN Q4 IT GETS EVEN BETTER
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJ0206:
I'm going to uni this year so I think the s-pen will be invaluable, it's a huge step up from my current devices and as you said there's a huge price difference and the note does most of what the S4 does anyway.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shhbz:
just be sure that you have a 4.1.2 rom installed as 4.1.1 is prone to sds as anyways you will get a 4.1.2 flashed in all new note2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJ0206:
Will do, thanks again for your help.

I am asking this because there are several devices I am using encounter the same problem including my tab 2 10.1/kindle fire,

the way I try to fix is to install another rom and try until one of them is working properly......but isn't it too complicated?

I just want someone who is able to kind of explain this to me......thanks soooo muchhhh!!!!:confused::confused::victory:

Check out Floating Notification App Lite from the google play store, slap on Halo Style- FN Theme

It's not as good as the real halo, but for those of you out there like me who love all the goodies from aosp but not all the issues.. Add to that Pie Control or LMT, and Soft Keys and well were not doing too bad with just our stock.

https://github.com/StarKissed/starkissed-kernel-ekgc100

This repository will include the kernel source from the "Update 1" version of the kernel.

The compile instructions included with the source do not cover making any modifications to the kernel and the previous thread seems to mirror those instructions, so this one will be dedicated to creating custom kernels.

The buildKernel.sh script is fairly straight forward to demonstrate the process, but the config files have a few eccentricities when building the wifi. When loading the config during the build, there are prompts for the bcmdhd parameters that are not referenced anywhere, as the system image does not include any bcmdhd firmware files.

The repository includes a generic ramdisk, as none is provided. Odin flashes the boot.img as a compiled file, so the ramdisk cannot be merged during install like most phones do to maintain the current version. A key note to this is that modules are built into the boot.img ramdisk, which is confusing not coming from any device that does not require Odin.

Edit: The last comment on ramdisk flashing during the install may soon be resolved. There are compatible tools to pack a ramdisk made for the recovery platforms, allowing those items to be included in a zip with the kernel. All that is needed is a custom recovery and that is in the works.
