You have the new bootloader and modem right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JazzMac251:
Modem? No I don't think I have a modem. I was just following pyraxiate's directions a few pages back. I'll have to look into that when I get the change. I Odin'd back to stock 4.3 and I'm having the same problem. The phone's still not recognizing that there's a SIM installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
Well if you used odin for 4.3 you should have the latest modem.

Do you get signal on stock? If not you may need to go get a new sim from tmobile. Just tell them it's not working anymore. They should give you a new one without issue.

Hey JazzMac251 -

I also had that identical problem. Perhaps that's the source of the identical lag/battery/drop/&c. issues we're both experiencing, who knows?

FYI -- I just did a full-wipe and followed the OP instructions to the letter (as I always do) and this time Aroma didn't hang. I'll let you know how it goes.

Lastly, THANK YOU for your insightful eloquence:

Good on ya.

If you ODINed the stock, sammobile ROM (includes bootloader, recovery, modem, OS), you

should

have the MK7 modem. If not, see my signature under "Data Drops?" for a link to a post with the updated modem (flashable via CWM and TWRP)

Check in your Settings -> More -> About device -> Baseband version. Although, I was getting signal with the MD1 modem, the MK7 is better (getting LTE signal more frequently)

Also, you never mentioned which variant of the phone you have and on which network. For the i317 version, I linked a post in my signature that someone successfully got it working, with steps on the procedure. There were also some posts made for t889v variants and corresponding carriers' modems. I'll have to search...

Should I try flashing a different kernel? If so, what's the latest thinking on which one? There are a lot of different opinions and I'm super confused (I think I've done too much searching.)

If that doesn't work, can I just Odin back to 4.3 without wiping? (I.e., just go into download mode and use Odin to reinstall T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_T889UVUCMK7_HOME.tar.md5?) I'd be fine with that until JMX3 is released.

Thanks in advance...my GN2 is now, essentially, unusable.

I re-wiped / re-formatted the system / re-flashed JMX2 a second time and still, battery drain is basically 1% per minute, calls drop right and left and the phone (not the battery) is getting really hot, as I mentioned in a recent post, in addition to which everyone I call hears an annoying echo.

Help!

PS -- I'm not a noo-b: I've been flashing (and paying for) ROMs for 2 years now and I've felt the force since Jedi X-11 through X-20. I md5-checked the JMX2 download and it was fine. I ran SeLinuxModeChanger and set it to "permissive". I followed instructions to the letter. This is the first time I've run into problems I can't resolve on my own...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
When you feel it's getting hot go into trickster and check your battery and cpu temp. It may be fine and you're over reacting

Thanks Ash359.

Here's a stupid question: should I just try and live with things for a couple of days to let "things" stabilize? On previous ROMs it always took a few days to achieve consistent battery/cpu/etc, performance....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nickdroid86:
SeLinux fixed my data issue, however I can't get my stock browser to witty fcing, also Google search force closes as well. Other than that I noticed I have to keep re syncing my Facebook and other accounts, may not be rom related?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
If you just installed and it's warm, it's normal. Installing / updating / creating caches takes a bit of juice. This is very much the same reason battery life sucks on any first install. Even though you aren't doing anything physically, the phone is crunching along creating app caches and setting up things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
Stock browser is a noted issue. Many fixes have been tried without success. Try a different browser in the meantime. I recommend chrome.

Google search needs to be downgraded. Go to settings, apps and uninstall updates. The latest update for n2 is broken. Gotta wait on Google for that one.

Not sure about the accounts. Try deleting and adding them again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
The stock browser is a known bug. I posted an apk along with instructions earlier. If you search my name along with apk in this thread, it should take you to the proper post.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

Dude! I have not had my GN2 out of my hands or pockets for very long -- when not asleep -- for 14 months now.

:silly:

A "parent" knows its "ward's" (definitely too weird to call my GN2 an "offspring") normal operating temp. and -- trust me -- it's sufficiently out of the normal range to cause me to post here.

Posting on XDA is scary, man! Opening myself up to heaps of contumely from y'all? My fingers tremble as I move the mouse over "SUBMIT REPLY."

If I'm posting here there's a dang good reason! and my GN2s temp ain't no overreaction, rest assured.

Great. Just what I needed: another reason to stare at my screen and now I've got to monitor temperature.

Thanks for the Trickster heads-up you guys....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
That is where the cpu is housed on the board inside. That's where it is on most samsung phones. If something is pushing the cpu limit up and it's getting locked at that frequency it'll get hot.

Check in trickster and see what cpu frequency is being used the most. If it's a higher frequency then download a battery monitor and see what's running in the background.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatllitbenext:
Ok, thanks kushXmaster.

It might be moot -- I just flashed Devil 2 2.3.2 kernel and I'm letting it sit for 15 minutes...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
I use Link2SD. You create a second partition on the SD card and all of the app data, cache and dex/odex files get farmed out there. It takes some familiarizing to get it to work, and a couple of reboots. Then, you can set it to "link" newly installed apps to the sd card's second partition (It's a soft link. It moves the actual data to the partition and leaves a link in the usual folder...gotta love posix file systems).

Although, now that I'm seeing this "Foldermount" business, I'll have to investigate to see if its a better option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatllitbenext:
Now this is weird:

I have an HD Widget and when I reboot the phone it goes away.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ianchua:
If you are using Touchwiz launcher,Than you have to wait for widgets to load up just as the lockscreen widgets do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Just curious, have you tried just running JMX2 vanilla for a bit?

I mean, a clean install, then just let it run for a bit and see if you're still having issues. If not, then start installing little bird at a time and see where things start going wonky.

Just a suggestion as your issues seem a bit atypical.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Foldermount does the same thing without having to partition the SD card.

Has anyone else had an issue with the stock browser not responding? It'll open fine and load the default page, but as soon as I tap anywhere on the screen it force closes. Suggestions?

UPDATE: since installing Devil 2 2.3.2 kernel, battery drain is a *tolerable* 4%/hour (was 60%), cpu is cool, call recipients don't hear echoing, no screen lag on power-on.

I'll live without my HD Widget on reboot and manually put it back each time and hope ptmr3 figures out what to do in the next iteration.

CORRECTION: call recipients ARE still hearing an echo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Known issue.

You need to get a previous version of the browser.

Search posts by me in this forum and you should run across a few links to these previous versions that others provided me.

Is provide a link but I don't have the opportunity right now.

Also, you might want to think of removing the updates on Google Search app in order to get phone interaction functionality back, like "Call <contact>".

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeySmikey:
Thanks. Immediately after posting I pushed SecBrowser.apk from the SWARM rom into the system and rebooted. It's an older version but it works. Too bad, I like the design of the new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
No problem. Yeah, looking forward to either ROM updates or software updates to resolve the browser and the Google Search issues myself. But until then, these solutions more than suffice for me.

Oh, if you don't know about the "Thanks" button, XDA website makes a button available with each posting. If someone provides you with assistance is cool to click the Thanks button associated to the posts. It let's them know how helpful the post was to you and others, and is good for their (our) ego.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
No issues here. Did it just start happening or was it like that from a clean install? You could try rebooting into recovery, wipe dalvik / cache and repair permissions under advanced.

Edit -

I remember having a similar issue on another rom / build and I found the cause to be an issue with fsync corrupting /data. What kernel are you using? If you are on devil, it has dynamic fsync enabled on install and a bad shutdown can and will cause these types of issues.

This is a big issue as I think nearly everyone on devil get a random freeze at some point or another.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Well that may in and of itself be the issue. Your system is locking up while fsync is disabled. This causes file system corruption bro. Your best bet is to wipe clean, and reinstall. Make sure your md5 matches as well. Try running it with the stock kernel. It really isn't bad at all. I only flash devil when I need to charge faster ( and I make sure dynamic fsync is disabled ). Stock kernel is fluid and has yet to cause a freeze.

Also.... As stated previously. ..If you are using devil kernel....don't post any issues in here at all. The op specifically stated that devil doesn't play well with this Rom ( X2 unlike X1 ). I am not saying this to be an ass....... but, your issue isn't rom related. The kernel likely hosed your file system much like an unclean shutdown on a computer can do.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
No problem, man.

Do this:

Go to Settings -> More -> About device ->

Now, look at Baseband version. It should say T889UVUCMK7 (that's the latest kernel)

Also look at SE for Android status. It should say Permissive

If either of these do not match what I posted, download the latest modem/baseband here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48318356&postcount=91

and flash with Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) or ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM).

Then, download the SELinux Mode Changer from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux&hl=en

and set it to permissive.

If these steps do not help you with your data drops, you could be looking at other issues.

Didn't clear cache and dalvic

corrupted ROM download

Bad ROM flash

Bad sim

Broken IMEI

No signal in your area (highly unlikely, but entertain the idea nevertheless)

Phone needs repair (god forbid, but sh*t happens)

etc

Whenever I run into any problems, the first thing I do is a factory reset. Even if you call tmobile, thats one of the steps they have you do prior to anything else.

Good luck
