[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pearse:
Same here. I actually bought a G2 and ended up returning it quickly, just couldn't get over how small the screen real estate is compared to the note 2 (plus it was surprisingly laggy for a new flagship).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabresfan:
I love my note 2. I'm not sure I want a phone without a removable battery or sd card. I make my old phones into dedicated gps units after they've aged. It's cheaper getting a spare battery occasionally then new phone when the battery is toast. I continue to use our old droid 2's for gps. I'm a truck driver and having a truckers specific gps is a life saver. The nexus 5 would be great and a ton of fun but no removable battery and no sd card make it tough to say yes to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeYuse0406:
I thought about upgrading to the Note 3 but after playing with it for some time I ended up keeping my Note II. I can't justify the cost of the 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mistamikel:
I wanted the new nexus, but with no removable battery and SD card slot and a 4.95 screen I think I'll keep my note 2 until the nexus 6 or note4 drop :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] safeplayer22:
Well I think no one is saying the Note 2 is better and of course everyone of us would use the Note 3 over the Note 2 if we have both. But I most of the people here are saying that the price of the Note 3 does not justify upgrading based on the different features each phone offer.

I, for one would love to have the Note 3 over the Note 2 but not at the price that I have to pay for the "extra" features. I will have to wait for the next version since I can see doing most of the things the Note 3 can do once we get a firmware update (or new roms to flash).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkb218:
Gave the Note 2 to my wife. The Note 3 for me is a major improvement over the 2. I'll upgrade her N2 when the update hits... Of course the upgrade for the N2 will include Knox so there is no way getting around that. We now have root access on the N3 the doesn't trip the Knox counter so that's a non-issue now.

:laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] g1-and-only:
Ah yes, I must chime in here to say totally agree, I'm not upgrading till the note 5 because once rooted the sky's the limit with updates. This here Note 2 is the best piece of electronic equipment I've ever purchased. Ive played with the 3, nice it is but my 2 had lots o life left.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] md1008:
Love the battery, size, spen but I really really want kit kat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
I know right, unfortunately it seems TouchWiz (SPen, MultiWindow, etc) and Up-to-Date Roms (like KitKat -ATM) arent going to be compatible... I'm just happy my girl and I are on rotating Upgrade plans. So once every year we can upgrade to the cream of the crop and the new toys keep rolling in
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pvaldeben:
Came back to Note 2 from LG G Flex, and have no rush waiting to note 4 or 5.

When I got the G Flex I gave my wife my Note 2 so I had to buy off swappa.

After using GFlex, Note 2 it truly very functional phone all around.

Best device series ever

AN eye for an eye... a Note for a Note. I can't really look at any other phones. The HTC one design drew my attention for a second but no one does Android like Samsung and the Note is just too awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pb05life:
I own a one note 2 and two note 3's. I love both but the Note 3 is better in my opinion. But I can't seem to sell my Note 2 cause I still love it.

Oh and I can't wait for the next note and to get the Tab 12.2

i am so glad i went with the note 2 especially since xda is here this community is amazing imo. i have an upgrade in a few months im really tempted by the oppo find 7
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sharpeyedman:
I have purchased four GS4 and loved them but I just came back to buy a brand new note 2 to replace a note 2 that I had bricked last year.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rspeters:
I recently bought my Note 2, coming from a Nexus 4. So far it's a move I don't regret. Kitkat is nice, but I'll take the bigger screen, removable battery and external sd card any day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinmaster:
Note 2 has the performance I need. Whenever I feel like I need a new phone, just flash a new rom! I like the note 2 because of the pen. Let me use the phone without touching the screen. Hopefully samsung will make better use of the finger air gestures

Hello guys,

I installed Cyanogen UNNOFICIAL-10-20121110-k1 and everything is fine, except for one little problem: I can not make the lock screen rotate.

Can anyone help me solve this issue?

[Hardware Hacking General] tripedj:
Hello everyone !

After I tryed all night all options I decided to ask you about some advise or trick how to fix my problem.

I bought Cubot GT72 before 2 months. Its still new and everything works fine till today ( actually yestarday ).

The phone is with Android 4.2.2 , its rooted. I was listening yestarday music on the headphones and I wanted to make lauder the music with the hardware button and .... not working. First I thought that the phone needs restart or smothing , but after restarting the volume control with the hardware buttons Up and Down was still not working. Then I decided to make factory data reset so to have all my factory settings back. After factory reset still not working. When I press the volume button Up or Down - nothing happens. Can you please help ? What can be the problem ?

The phone never fell, was working fine all. Is it possible this to be because of some setting which I changed at the hidden menu or something else ?
[Hardware Hacking General] givemeaname:
If you changed the software and even did a factory reset this issue may be a hardware failure.

There are 2 options (if you like to do it yourself):

- open the device and clean carefully the hardware contacts (isopropanol, maybe some contact fluid)

- check if there are contact errors by heating/freezing the phone (of course not to much!!)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] One0f4K1nd:
Hello all. I have been racking my brain for days and reading a billion posts and guides to no avail. I have flashed many a phone and have never had an issue until now. I have an SGH-I717 from AT&T unlocked and being used on T-Mobile. I was attempting to either go to a stripped Rom or Stock Rom to get rid of AT&T software. Well I noticed a couple of 4.3 Roms I had not tried before, I was currently on 4.0.4 stock rooted. So I started up CWM touch and started firing away, first Rom started acting strange with the screen coming on out of standby, so I decided to try the next one. Seemed awesome at first. Then I rebooted the phone after a couple of app installs. Boom, would not turn on. Blank screen, not responding to power button. Would go to CWM and Download mode. Hmm. Started fiddling, couldn't get Kies firmware recovery to get past 0%, tried Odin 1.83, 1.85 3.07 3.09, it kept crashing at getting pit for mapping. Windows 7 X64 pro, Was able to load a backup with cwm after copying through adb to internal sd. Didn't want that, attempted to flash again. Same thing. Got to adb with CWM up. Manually wrote 3e recovery to phone, bad idea. Now i can't do anything. Can't access the external sd to try and update.zip, can't get to adb no matter what, either drivers fail to install, hardware id missing, or some other nonsense. I tried an ubuntu 12 machine, windows xp (physical and virtual) several cables, and several windows 7 machines. All with similar results, linux won't recognize the phone through adb but will with lsusb and udev. I can get windows to recognize in factory mode, not odin mode, and odin will read the com port, but crashes on every machine at the pit phase. I tried heimdall and it complains that I don't have a matchine pit and I tried one that i found online and it is unable to write the pit file and just reboots the phone. I have been unable to manually flash anything from any point. Is there anything any of you can think of that I can try? I have heard of JTag and don't know much about it but read somewhere someone using and Arduino to do that, I have an arduino but its sound difficult due to size of the interface plug. Please help, phoneless and scared!!! :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
Since a Windows pc recognizes a lil bit, I would try using kies software and perform an emergency recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] One0f4K1nd:
Thanks for the reply

I entered the model SGH-I717 and then the S/N, tried this about 10 times with different cables and different Windows versions. Sticks at 0% after unpacking binary files. Stays there for a long time before failing and saying that it couldn't recognize the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] One0f4K1nd:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] One0f4K1nd:
Updated Question

I have an arduino, is there any way without building a jtag interface or using a riff box to send some data to the phone through some of the pins directly and force it to accept adb commands or to push a file or some such? One thing to note on the 3e recovery I can see the filesystem and of course i did a factory reset so there is nothing there of use to me, however why won't the microsd card mount in stock recovery is that normal? Dummy me I had TWRP on it, then flashed CWM, and then manually used dd to write the stock back to it thereby making it difficult to do anything because 3e sucks. When I get home I'm going to try the OneClickUnbrick jar and see what that does. I have never tried it. There has to be a way to send data or arbitrary commands to the phone through the usb to force it to do what I want, isn't there a be my ***** adapter or something I can hook up to this paperweight?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
adb.exe works when the phone is in download mode. If you can get into 3e recovery you can factory reset. That usually clears up some issues.

I would try the reset, then go to a virgin pc running win 7 - the drivers are already in that os.

Connect with phone in download mode, run odin3 1.85 as administrator, flash a stock rom.

Is this compatible with jjm34's CM10?

Yes it is, is has been specially compiled in order to be compatible with the recovery used in jjm34's CM10 recovery.

Is this compatible on Xperia E single sim?

I have not tested it out on C1504/5 since I do not own that device, however you may install this at your own risk.

Is this compatible on ICS?

Once again I have not tested it out, the kernel used is the default JB kernel.

But I prefer CWM, is there anyway to use that instead of this?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crystal7_Magic:
Hi,

After flashing the MJ6 ROM with the Universal root de la vega method (I have the old bootloader from MJ1) and flash the MJ4 modem, the camera and and wifi were not working, I tried to downgrade the modem to MJ2 with Odin to give a try.

However now I'm facing several boot loops (on first notification model screen) and when the Note succeed in corectly booting, I have an FC from system process, and some others applications.

I tried to check the phone parameters and saw that baseband was "unknown", but didn't succeed to see the screen where the IMEI is displayed because the phone is rebooting automaticaly when I try to access to this screen.

The phone is very instable : sometimes I'm not able to access to parameters with the tactil button.

In all cases the phone is auto rebooting after several minutes.

I tried several things withoot result :

- Wipe cache + factory reset

- Flash several modems

- Flash MI7 stock ROM with Odin

> no change

Actually I have :

- baseband unknown

- boot looping

- no wifi

- no sound

- no root

- acces to download mode and stock recovery is OK.

As someone have some cloues to help me?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I'm pretty sure your Knox warranty void has been tripped... Flash the MJ6 stock firmware. You have the new bootloader now anyway, that's why you are in the bootloop.. I had the same problem and when I checked and found warranty void triggered I figured can't hurt.

Flashed stock MJ6 firmware. Baseband comes back, all thos little things not working get fixed. I then flashed CF-root as the warranty void was 0x1...

It seems if you flash the Modem.bin file you are stuck, you need to flash the MJ6 firmware to fix....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LIPA:
I had the same pb ..... and flash MJ6 full and now it's OK .... so I rooted ... Knox 1 ....but everything OK I am happy
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crystal7_Magic:
Ok, but normaly I always have the old bootloader because I do not have flash the MJ6 stock > It has been modified with universal root de la vega before flashing with Odin, and my flag is still on 0x0.

> So normaly the MJ6 I flashed should not contain the new bootloader.

It will be troublesome for me if flashing a stock MJ6 is needeed as I do not want to trigger the Knox flag.

I always have the solution to return my Note to my seller for refund, so I'm seeking for a way which do not trigger Knox
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crystal7_Magic:
Finaly I have decided to flash the MJ6 stock ROM and everything go ok.

I still have my knox 0x0 but will trigger to 0x1 if I try to root by now : hard decision.

You have to be sure that you do not have take update from OTA or official stock ROM when you was on ROM before MJ3 (if you take stock MJ3 bootloader is altered)

You can find it on Sammobile website (create an account is needed to access to download section)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If you flashed the stock MJ6 then you have the new anti-root bootloader. ANY attempt to root will end in Warranty void being triggered...

Unfortunately this is a problem that hasn't been fixed yet. Just a heads up to let you know you will probably trigger the warranty void.

Then again Designgears is back developing RDLV again so it might be updated soon... :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmads001:
thanks again for usual insight.

unfortunately, the bootloop problem was back after a restart yesterday. took several loops (about 30 mins) before it started up. i had to reflash with the latest stock N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005OJVDMJ4_KSA. now im scared to restart the phone for any reason, since i cant tell if it will entre bootloop again - it gets worse with every reset.

Since the knox already tripped 0x1, i still desire to root it ASAP.

So,

1. how do i get rid of this bootloop menace, PERMANENTLY

2. how do i safely root the phone (SM-N9005)

will appreciate a lot of help.
