[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinyoki:
I've received a new note 2 (sch-i605) through insurance a couple days ago, and after going through the tedious process of rooting and flashing and setting up everything on my phone, I've discovered to my great frustration that the audio jack seems to be defective. When I plug in my headphones (and I assure you they are in all the way) only the left speaker works, unless I press on the headphone plug sideways, or twist it. I've tried cleaning out the jack with compressed air and a q-tip, and I've tightened all the screws on the back on the phone. Oh, and yes I've tried different headphones/headsets, they all present the same issue. My previous note 2 never had this problem and I had it for about 5 months.

Now I really don't want to go through the process of warranty unless I really have to. Is this a common issue with the note 2? Is there a way I can fix it myself? Or is it just easier to go through unrooting and sending my phone through warranty (if it even qualifies)? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] REYES702:
I had a similar issue with my Droid Razr Maxx 5 different times and finally someone allowed me to switch model phones w/ out using any upgrades or signing a new contact, etc... Anyway, they recommended to me to use a pipe cleaner, NOT a qtip because it will leave qtip fuzz in the headphone jack.

I would say, if that doesn't fix it, you're screwed and gotta return to stock and send it back. Yeah, it sucks and I feel you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nefariouss:
If the insurance sent you a defective phone they should replace it no cost. You really don't even have to unroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] clip3009:
Very easy to fix just order a new part online and unscrew the back cover and replace it. I would check the port on it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LowFreqGeek:
Fix it!

kevinyoki,

I can understand your reluctance to return it and go through the whole setup process again. As a frequent user of headphones myself, this is an interesting topic.

If you're up to it, it wouldn't be too hard of a repair. These phones appear to be very serviceable, which is another real plus to the Note 2. Try doing any work yourself on an Iphone or Ipod Touch and you'll know what I mean. Nightmare.

You can get the part super cheap and you don't even need to do any soldering.

Search for, "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Disassembly" on youtube and you'll find some good instructional videos on how to take the phone apart.

Disassembly looks pretty straight forward.

Then search Ebay for "Galaxy Note 2 jack" and you find that you can get the part for just a few bucks! Can't beat that!

I say go for it. After seeing the innards of your phone, you'll get a whole new appreciation for all of the engineering that went into it. Plus, you'll probably learn a thing or two in the process and after fixing it, you'll probably get a good feeling of satisfaction. Sounds like a win win to me.

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeone33:
Do not repair it yourself, you will void the warranty and SOL if you happen to not be able to fix it.

I think Spirit FM might work.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Grawrz:
Yes, Spirit FM works on CM 10.1, but my problem with the free Spirit FM is its really clunky :(

Whenever I get any alert, it stops. When my headphone is slightly moved, it stops. I have to go through several hoops just to get it started again.

And then there's the sound. There's always a little bit of white noise in the background and it gets really irritating if you're using it for long periods of time. :(

I'm not sure if the paid version would fix these problems though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hondais1:
Hi. Ok, I just got the samsgung galaxy s2 4g aka epic touch 4g VIRGIN MOBILE.

The GB28 version is one I cant find much info on so please help.

1) Can I use clockworkmod on this?

2) How can I make a backup off my current stock rom?

3) Can is use a 4.2.2 JB? I have 4.1.2 stock.

I rooted this using framaroot. It worked :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
1. Yes

2. Download and flash cwm and run backup through cwm

3. Yes, but there are no TW 4.2.2 ports available for the e4gt yet, but there are some available from CM, AOSP, etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hondais1:
Thanks. Now which cwm do I use. I tried a few but they never took :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
If you are rooted, and on GB28, then flash you can flash Garwynn's GB28 kernel w/Agat's recovery, which comes with cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hondais1:
Thanks. That really helped. Just got cwm on and backuped my current rom. I remember the good days with Optimus V.... :( sad

I appreciate that very much. A simple thanks is payment enough, but then you for the offer. I'm just thrilled I could help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dziliak:
You can also use garwynn's latest GB27 kernel with no issues.

jd's probably too modest to mention it, but I reflashed with his GB28 Deodexed/Debloated rom in order to free up some space for converting a few user apps into system ones, along with integrating updates.

If you do reflash with his rom, don't click on the (so-called) Connections Optimizer in settings.

jd removed it but the link is still there and my phone locks up if I click on it by mistake.

I don't have a link handy, but the hack for GB27 hotspot works on GB28 as well.

Havent been on much. Work has been nuts lately. Thanks. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtb1987:
Where can you download this kernel I've been looking everywhere but all i can find is broken links :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
I think there are some issues with the links at the moment. GB27 kernel works fine with VM, fyi. Garwynn is aware and working on it. :)

This is not a rom port and not a developing trick. It is help and some trick to improve your galaxy 5510 and give it smooth multitasking and make it like a jellybean style

1.First You need a rooted phone(Galaxy 551),clockwork recovery

2.Download the latest Cyanogenmod 7.2 rom(25.01.2013) which build by ajay.al

Here the link https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8N-o3rcaoUpRVc1VjFlZ0hsb28/edit

3.Move it your sdcard and goto recovery>wipe data/factory reset>wipe cache>click on 'install zip'>select the downloaded rom's zip file> install done> reboot system

4.If you need google application support then download CM7 version's gapps and flash it in recovery moade

Here the linkhttp://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps

5.For jellybean style Roboto font download the attachment file> reboot to recovery> goto 'mount and storage'> mount system> goto previous menu> select 'install zip from sdcard'> select the download file and install it then reboot.

6. Free up some unnecessary system file

7. Use xperia launcher which consumed 8mb ram see the attachement (Named as 'Signed-Home_MultiResolution')

8. Apply crystalbean theme to feel the jelly bean.

9. Download Multitasking apps and use is to speedup your phone, see the link and attachment.

10. You can download 'Clean master' found in google play & goto setting on 'auto kill'

[Motorola Photon 4G] capidamonte:
New Photon owner.

Struggling with using it on Ting. Ting itself seems great. After changing MIN and MDN, I have WiFi, text, voice and 4g. No 3g however.

I've rooted and debloated. If I use the droidx bootstrap recovery it won't boot and I have to start from a complete sbf restore (198.7). If I unlock the boot loader I lose 4g, so I then have no data, but still have WiFi, text and voice.

Anyone successfully using Ting with 3g?

Aloha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
No reason to unlock no ICS video drivers. I've been on sprint now ting. Non 4g speed is dead slow.

Put stock on my Photon Q for testing, saw 3g icon.

I'll fire up the MoPho and check.
[Motorola Photon 4G] capidamonte:
Well, I'd like to change ROMs. Without data, I'm stuck with stock, and the deblur script has broken contacts app.

I'd really like to move to the hybrid ROM, but once installed, if I relock the boot loader it hangs. So no data or no function. I'm looking for any way out of the deadlock.

Aloha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yeswap:
I haven't used Ting but I activated a Photon on PlatinumTel CDMA by doing a ##72786# network reset.

When the phone restarted after the reset Hands Free Activation ran and it set up 3G, voice and SMS automatically. It should work the same on any Sprint MVNO

You need to be on a stock ROM for Hands Free to run. Once activated you can switch to a different ROM but you will lose WiMAX when you unlock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] capidamonte:
Yeah. Stock rom just hangs on connecting to network screen. It's already registered on Ting, so it never connects.

Aloha. Thanks for trying to help. I'm thinking I'll restore to stock and sell it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] icypirate11:
update prl & profile

I switched to Ting. The data speeds are slow. But I found that disabling Sprint's proxies and doing periodic prl updates and profile updates greatly improve 3g speed. Yes, I get 3g yet it feels like 2g sometimes. I found my phone seems to lose data all together sometimes and I have to update profile and prl to even get any data. Kinda sucks but spending $40/month on Ting for 2 phones (Note 2 & S3) is way cheaper than spending $160/mon on Sprint. What's nice is I still get to use Sprint's crappy network. lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
I use ting and had the same problems, after the third call to them. I got an email asking me to let them know when I got home. Woke the next morning, to find my phone in the settings menu? and every thing has worked great ever senses. Don't know if they remoted in or not?

Hello All,

I have a HTC desire V smartphone. I bought this phone on 15th August 2012. On 21st August 2013 my softkeys have started troubling me (sometimes it was working and sometime it was not functioning). So, I made a call to the HTC customer care and they asked me to do a hard reset from settings. I did factory reset from settings but still the issue was not solved. Again I made a call to HTC and this time they asked me to do reset using hardware buttons. I did factory factory reset using hardware buttons and this time my softkeys totally stopped working. Cant do anything Pls help me guys. I don't know whether this is a cause due to My Android OS or Hardware issue. HELP ME OUT GUYS..

PS: I did not do any rooting. Did not do any OS upgrade.
[HTC Rezound] shredder8910:
I relocked the HTC Rezound's bootloader right before this error started happening, I'm trying to get a T-Mobile sim card to work with this phone.

Anyways, the error I'm dealing with is that the Rezound is stuck in a sort of fastboot loop. Whenever I select an option like reboot the phone just reboots back into the fastboot menu, no matter what I try. Even when I try to go to recovery, it shows the HTC logo, then comes right back into fastboot mode.
[HTC Rezound] xanda143:
If u got no fastboot commands working only option if also no recovery is to flash an update thru the bootloader

Should i rollback (factory) and install or is there a fix to install US patch or trick device into thinking update was completed.

I've been trying to root my phone and nothing is working.

My first try was through motochopper but it gave me some failure message and it seems like everyone is having the same problem. I have the superuser app but every time I try to open it, it says its out of date but it won't let me update. I read some comment on youtube and it said that it's because of the July update that the motochopper method won't work anymore.

I have not tried the twrp method that is on xda because I don't have a micro sd adapter, I dont know if that's the one that I should try but if anyone has recently rooted a Verizon GS4 and could direct me to a video or thread that would be awesome.

Hey guys, I only suggest the following, cause I had the same problem after flashing via odin.

In fact it happened to me more than once since I forgot the solution after a while :P...

Make sure you unplug the USB cable from your tablet before trying to get into recovery mode.

That did it for me both times - once with my S4 and just recently with my Tab 2...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkXShadowX21:
Let's see....Where do I start...

I've tried the Mac route....No luck in any successful root using Mac OS X. With that being said, I have done the following.

I have virtually booted my Mac OS X to simultaneously boot into Windows XP SP3 Home Edition using VMWare Fusion Professional Version 5.0.3 (1040386).

I went to this link here ( after deleting all Samsung drivers from previous tries and restarted windows ) and installed the driver on the Windows XP Virtual Machine.

SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip (25.32MB)

I then went and downloaded two versions of Odin. Version 1.87 and Version 3.07.

I also downloaded Heimdall Suite V 1.4.0

I essentially followed the steps in this Youtube video by qbking77.

How to Root the Samsung Epic 4G on FC09 - Latest

With everything said and done, my phone isn't recognized in Odin or Heimdall. However, it's recognized in normal mode. It obviously doesn't root like that.

I put my phone in download mode, plug it in. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes even though it technically should be less than a minute for the USB detection to come up. It doesn't detect anything at all.

I've used 3 other cables.

I've double checked the settings with VMware Fusion for the USB Configuration. Essentially, when I have XP running, anything that is plugged in via USB will automatically connect to XP rather than OS X.

Any help on this would be great! Thanks in advance.
