[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Yol:
Hi all,

As i started servicing all pdas for a couple of monthes (only as a hobby, i fix them for friends and relatives), i came across one BA that gave me some trouble.

i got it to replace its LCD that was broken as it was dropped and thats very simple to replace it, so far so good. now it has two main problems :

1. no sound from speaker (even when in speakerphone mode), but there is sound in the stereo earphones (i plugged to the connector by the sd card slot). - i can only assume that a bluetooth handsfree device it will also work.

2. although the backup battery is fully charged, if i remove the main battery even for a brief second, when turned on, the BA acts as if i made a hard reset.

as for solving the problems :

1. using a digital multimeter, i managed to track the conductivity from the internal speaker through its connector, flat ribbon to the connector which connects to the main pcb - so there is no contact problem from the speaker to the main pcb.

using the help from WIKI, i went to site that has the list of all components and their description - the IC that is responsible for audio amp is a MAXIM's MAX4410 which is a stereo headphone driver. a quick look at its charasteristics and typical configuration and i understood that (assuming this is the IC that drives the internal speaker) the speaker should have one pin which is ground and the other goes to the amplified signal from the IC. neither one of the pins showed it has GND to it. so maybe there is a bad GND line to the connector.

2. regarding the backup battery issue i do not know what makes this problem.

I am sharing this info with you all with two ideas in mind :

1. to resolve my problem and know those devices hardware better.

2. because i am quite a while watching xda-developers and WIKI and i got the feeling that a lot of eforth is given to the software side of all those pdas (which is greate!!! keep going, this work helps lots of people and it shows al thos mega corps they are not the only ones), but the hardware is a bit forgotten and left behind. let me tell you this, there are many VERY simple mini projects i made useing electronics (i am an electronics engineer in my profession) that made my life easy . i am now investigating those instruments hardware as i have several ideas to develope useful accessories to my pda (like an external IR transciver to control IR devices like TV,DVD and to communicate with my laptop, and some other ideas) and i believe we can do the same info sharing as done on software side but on the hardware side.

I will thank any ideas, thoghts or commentsabout this matter. Yol.

Are you running a custom rom that is not stock based off 4.3 MK6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] smithjohnatpa:
Yes I am on ditto note 3 rom. Not sure about anything else. But I had att ota update 4.3 before moving to dn3. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProFresh4:
Ditto Note 3 is MK5 based
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eddie_Brock:
Thanks for this updated SNote! It works pretty well on my stock 4.3 rom, with only two issues.

One: the app force closes when importing notes from the previous version. No big deal, I don't use it much.

Two: The widget is 4x4, and will not fit on the SPen page. This is fairly important to me, as I only ever use the app when I pull my pen out.

It's certainly a nicer looking UI, and potentially more useful app than it's predecessor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProFresh4:
I didn't get any force closes when I imported

As for the widget I Apex Pro so I resized it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] figyu:
Hi, I am using I317 (att & DN3 v.3.2).

I also can't update it.

Should I delete S Note first, and then install this file (api in the op)?

Plz reply.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProFresh4:
Has to be a stock based MK6 note 2 rom. Ditto note is a note 3 port.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eddie_Brock:
Correction: when you use your S Pen to hold down on widget, it allows you to resize it. I've now ditched the previous version completely. Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Artstar:
I see. That explains why I keep getting the error code -13 upon attempted installation.

Since I can only really use it as a viewer now that the Note 3 seems to have Action Memo as its primary notepad, is there any way I can stop the Samsung App store from notifying me about this one app without preventing all others? I've got the app updates notification switched off for now but I was hoping to isolate it to the S Note app only.

Hey, I'm having serious issues with my GS3 lately, I got it a few months ago from Sprint's suckish replacement plan.

The problems started a few weeks after I got the device, so I can't send it back or else they'll charge me, I've tried flashing different ROMs and restoring to stock several times and nothing seems to work.

The problems are: The phone randomly shuts down(crashes?) and I have to hold the power button to get it to turn off and I just guess after a few seconds, let go and hold the power button down again to turn it back on, the lock screen freezes, I have to turn the screen on and off a few times before it responds, the phone randomly reboots, it just turns off and back on without any type of animation, it just simply does it, the phone also, in some reboots it optimizes apps as if I had just updated and sometimes it deletes my contacts and text messages.

I have no idea what's going on, I've been trying to bear this problem but I just can't take it anymore! >3<.

I've tried the "Ultimate freeze/crash" thread to no avail.

I just tried flashing the new MOAR Rom and it still keeps doing it, my phone runs fine for a few hours before one of the things listed above happens.

Can't help you there buddy. Every phone is different and every user has their different tastes. Asking which is smoother is like asking which is better. I know you said you've tried them all but if you can't tell the difference then why is it a problem? As long as it isn't freezing up on you or stuttering I'd say they are all smooth. Want smoother? Play around with the CPU and Governer settings. Just dont set them too low. Good luck

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hid3rs:
I've just noticed some dead/stuck pixels in HD video record mode and I would like to know whether it's a hardware or software defect.

Now I'm using 4.4.2 Carbon ROM (but saw the same pixels on Paranoid Android as well), I don't remember seeing them on stock ROM and they only appear in video mode.

So if you have Custom ROM installed, could you please go to your camera app, switch to video mode (make sure it's 1080p!), cover the lens with your finger so the screen will be all black and look for these dead pixels?

edit: I restored my stock backup and these pixels are still there, it's just a bit tricky, because the stock camera app blurs them out or something so you can't see them, but if you install any 3rd party camera app which you can use to record videos, they will be there.

I'm not saying everyone has these hot pixels, but as I've been browsing xda, sadly it's not that uncommon. Such a bummer.
