Not sure what you think anyone here can do for you. It sounds buggered to me... How old is it? You're likely going to have to RMA it for a repair under warranty.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stesteste:
have you turned negative mode on, hold power for option to turn off
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
remove the battery leave it out for few hours or a day then try again... other than that no clue...you will have to send it to a Samsung store for servicing if under warranty they will fix for free

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmexic:
i have my nexus 4 since january 22th. I love to have it, i enjoy it everyday, im wondering how long do xda developers and hackers will keep making roms/apps for this device, because im afraid they could focus more on nexus 5 or newer devices...

i hope that if i leave my nexus is not because there is no development for it or because battery/hardware died.

i would like to leave nexus 4 only when i feel to.... just because i need more storage/sd card/native otg.

Right now i can live without that extra storage...but i live limited.

How long will you support nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
This is a good gauge for how long a typical nexus will get support: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=crespo

If your battery dies, just buy a torque screwdriver and replace the battery. I'm sure before the N4 is stopped being supported, you already will have the N5 or moved on to a different phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepdavies:
I was still using my Nexus S until last month. Plenty of support for that bad boy
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanmarek:
Since it is a Nexus, I think it will be supported for AT LEAST 2 more years.

It's been on the market and still is one of the best phones around. I would say the best but that would be too biased.

If only more people would open their eyes and realize there are more options than Apple and Samsung...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Actually Google set the support period to 18 months if I recall, but cyanogenmod and developers will support it for longer. And Google will probably release update for it longer too because the device is very capable. They stopped release update for the Nexus One due to the size of the firmware and hardware limitation.

I feel it's not viable because of the high price.. in India is quoted at Rs.49990 nearly 800 USD .UNLOCKED... way too expensive... think Samsung has got the pricing absolutely wrong this time... 40k should have made me think off an upgrade.....
[Galaxy Note II General] Mukhi11:
Wait for 2 months and it will be in your range. But personally i would not buy any samsung phone beacuse of experiance i hav had with my note 2 they are too late updating their flagship devices
[Galaxy Note II General] h2s:
It depends on whether it has features which one really needs and which cannot be found on NoteII. Maybe you look at it from that angle.
[Galaxy Note II General] rkkaranrk:
Just wait till its available (25Th September on wards), 49900/- is the MRP should be available or around 47.5k give it lill more time till October end and u should be able ti buy it for 42/43k, most of the online store are selling sony Z1 for 43k where as its available for 40700/- locally.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.m0x:
Personally I won't be updating this time around. The only features which really grabbed me are the new note taking ones but I don't even use my note 2 for that. I have a note 8.0 which is much better for the purpose. Phone calls, texting and email work just fine on the note 2 and battery life is great so no reason to upgrade until note 4.

Rather I may buy another Note 2 for my wife because I can get it at 28000 INR only.

Practically there is no app in the Google Play that could not be run perfectly on Note 2
[Galaxy Note II General] 3vo3d:
I was going to but my dad just got an s4 and I've been setting it up for him. And honestly most of the new features are pointless and possible battery hogs.

Granted there's 1 or 2 i would like. But unless I can get it for say 50 quid plus my phone? I don't see the point.

Yeah exactly, unless you have money to burn it's a bit pointless.

[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
That's just the launch date price and in store price. I buy my phones off of Amazon.es, since I'm here in Spain. They go down in price really quickly. The note 2 was 700 euros when it launched last year, in October (mid october) I bought it online for 540. Which is 160 euros off the list price in stores. 8 months later in store it was still 700 euros.

I think stores have to get more competitive or else they will lose more clients. I can't beat lower prices, free 2-3 day shipping and being able to buy stuff from home. I still go out and buy stuff, but really expensive stuff is a lot cheaper online. I found my current house thanks to a listing online! haha.

Back to the topic: I am thinking of the Note 3 as an update to my Note 2, but not this month or maybe even next. November? December? January? I love my Note 2. But I am also eyeing the Sony Xperia Z1 as well was waiting for the Nexus 5. After we get some proper reviews I'll think about it. But I honestly think that 550 is a good deal for the Note 3. I refuse to pay more than 550 for any mobile phone (unlocked of course). So just wait a few days or weeks or maybe even a month and you'll see the price drop quickly, especially online due to competition with other online retailers.

So... Are you going to buy it :)?

Just wait for the JB 4.3 update for your Note 2....then you will have a note 3...except for the tacky plastic simulated leather case. Admittedly, it may not run as fast as the Note 3....but it will do everything the note 3 can do....why waste your money if you have a N2?:fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy Note II General] vishal68:
Think it's good idea to wait for 4.3 then decide.. till then the process of Note 3n would have also cooled down... but samsung is delaying the software upgrades for all phones..it's very bad....
[Galaxy Note II General] j_tag:
not me

yeah i prefer the looks of the note 2 more than the note 3.. i just want the update for my note 2 and hopefully some features from the note 3..

and then of topic the galaxy gear, do i need it? no.. do i want it? yes.. but both gear and note 3 prices were out today in finland so the note 3 will go for 750€ and the gear for 350€ and that is just too much for me , so will have to wait and hope the prices will drop fast
[Galaxy Note II General] erwinkamal:
I have been an early adopter since note1, 2 years ago. Even october last year, bought two of note2. One for me and one for wife. Sammy sold only lte set here. But many s3 and note2 owners have their devices dead out of sudden. The same happened to my wife's note2 lucky it is under 1year warranty sammy replaced the motherboard within 3 days. Mine is survived till now but last may (in month7), I got charger burned (although very seldom use it, since we've been using my wife's charger). Sammy singapore refused to replace my charger telling that charger warranty is only 6 month. They dont believe me that I use it only less than 10 times.

Just because of a lousy charger and unreasonable short period of warranty, I told my whole family and relative to think twice before buying samsung product.

Sammy is so rich, why it is betting their brand image with a cheap charger.

I became somehow vowing a brand divorce to sammy.

In singapore, common culture is we keep upgrading devices every year.

However, I ll be using this note2 till my contract finished next couple of months then move to another brand.

I would not buy any samsung phone beacuse of experience i have had with its quality and service.

You dont want to buy expensive product and then "praying" for it to last long.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
If the Gear had a much much longer battery life I would consider it. Maybe something along the lines of e-ink tech to get days(weeks?) out lf it.

At the end of the dag if I pay that much for it and also use it as a watch, i dont really wanna be taking it off to charge once or twice a day.

Interesting idea but I'll wait and see how it evolves.

I rather wait until next year and see what the mobile market have to offer me. My note 2 works flawless and i don't see the need to upgrade this year.

Thats how samsung flagships works. Your phone will be treated as baby for the first 9 months. Yes youll receive an update features from the new note 3 but itll be slow and not optimized just like what happens to note1

[Galaxy Note II General] Arrio:
Yup. It's not clear why samsung is doing that, but the phones lock to the region of your sim card. So let's say that your first sim card used on the phone is from England, you won't be able to use the phone in America.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.m0x:
Well that completely eliminates any chance that I'll ever get one. I have two sim cards, one for when I'm at home in New Zealand and another for when I'm travelling to Australia. It eliminates the costly expense of roaming charges.

Locking the phone on region is a big mistake. Samsung is making the Same mistake of Nokia ignoring customer demands and very high pricing, region Lock is a Shame.
[Galaxy Note II General] bliblabl:
This policy has been completely misunderstood by most of the people.

Only the first unlocking has to be in the region you've bought the phone. Then every SIM works all over the world as usually.

The way Samsung do business is rather ambigious, doing everything unannounced from under the table, I personally discovered it the hard way when all of the sudden I was unable to make a phone call due to its change of policy towards the IMEI not even bothering themselves to make a simple announcement.this will be my last Samsung device for sure.

Anybody is upgrading because of warranty?

For E.G

1)Upgrade now top up cash $150-200

2)Warranty ends in january and "something" goes wrong and i have to pay to repair my phone..

1 is my main reason i want to change even though the note 2>note 3 doesn't seem much of an upgrade

It's a region lock not country lock. Australia and NZ are classed as the same region so you won't have a problem. However if you went to the Americas it may be a different story...

S2 was going to be my last Samsung device but Note 2 came to me with a huge bargain that I couldn't resist. But that's it! Enough is enough.

Note 2 is serving well for now. I will look forward to buy a device that has full AOSP support, removable battery and external storage.

[Galaxy Note II General] LuckyLinUK:
I bought my Note 2 one year ago and no major update since. The most probable and only reason for the 4.3 update is so they can sell their stupid watch to existing customers.

It's manufacturers like Samsung that are driving the fragmentation of Android. With this update policy, it's unlikely we will ever see 4.4 on our devices.

This attitude of taking the money and run along with the stupid regional activation locks are the reasons why we should rather buy Google devices if it has to be Android.

So to answer the question, whatever my next phone, it will DEFINITELY not be a Samsung. This was my first and last Samsung.
[Galaxy Note II General] xeulifer:
Nope I am going to buy a faster phone that gets updates more frequently because I want a more future proof device.
[Galaxy Note II General] bahtsiz_bedevi:
I took a look at Note 3 in a store near to me.

Note 3 looked like another Samsung phone fully bloated with TouchWiz and crappy Samsung apps.

Even after a fresh start you see 1.5 gigs of its 3gig ram is taken, wtf...

If you like pure AOSP and want to get updates faster, cross Samsung off the list.
[Galaxy Note II General] apallohadas:
Faster and inferior. Check.

But to each his own.
[Galaxy Note II General] matejdro:
Nope. Lets see what is new:

New Touchwiz Gimmicks - Don't care, I would install AOSP immediatelly anyway.

CPU - Interesting, but I have yet to see app that can fully utilize N2 CPU to make switch worth. Games excluded.

Screen - PenTile. Really?

IR, Temperature sensor and other minor additions - Very cool, but will probably never use it in practice.

RAM - Same as CPU above

Leather thingy - I would use case anyway which defeats its whole purpose

Then add horrible developer support from samsung, which means I probably won't get another Samsung again. Maybe after several years I will get a Nexus finally.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.m0x:
I'm really starting to think that my next phone will be a Nexus 5 if and only if it has a 32gb option and working otg this time around. 16gb just isn't enough in this day and age. I don't really care about most of the Touchwiz gimmicks - it's the battery life and great screen which are 80% of the reason I have a note 2. The other 20% would be expandable storage and removable battery.

I'll stay with my current note2. Waiting to switch to another brand. I ve stopped rooting since I upgraded from HTC HD2 to note1. I keep stock rom as in beginning samsung was quite active on upgrading the firmware.

I like proportionally big screen and gorilla glass, experiencing from HD2 which had biggest size in its class back then.

That made me upgrade to note.

My first disappointment to sammy was its marketing stye.

Note was said to have gorilla glass. I was expecting it having the same strength as my HD2 which I had it wrong. Never mind at least I could use protector. With my stock rom back then I was quite satisfied. I had installed lots of game.

Gave note1 to my daughter, I bought note2 for me and wife.

Note2 is a very good gadget. However, my disappointment is again on its low grade gorilla glass and I can't install my big size games in sd card anymore. I thought that it might be jelly bean new rules or what. But I was wrong as on note 8" which came after it, people can install games in sdcard just like my daughter note1 upgraded with jelly bean.

I kept stock rom on our note2 afraid of voiding warranty if any sudden death happened just like my wife's one. (And many S3 lte & N7105 owner in our country)

I keep my note2 and I will switch to another brand, expecting higher integrity/trustworthy on their marketing jargon/spec.

Have you check note3 out? For me it is just a software related upgrade to note2.

Perhaps I will return back to HTC. Might be an upcoming HTC one max.
