[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
I just received a phone call from my wife and got the voice announcement, without any hands free device. I picked up my office phone all excited, call myself and only got the ringtone. And yes both my wife and on this phone are stored as contacts . Has anyone else encountered intermittent voice announcement?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ItsLasher:
Do you have hands free mode activated in the toggles menu? It may be activated even through the toggle says it's not or if docked.

Installed using the latest Philz 6.41.6 / Clockword 6.0.4.8 + FULL wipe\clean and had no issues. Runs fast and smooth as hell.

Haven't gone through everything yet but so far the no problems to report.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Glad the newer philz works. I still stick with 6.07.9 since it works for every rom we have.

Amazing how those who do clean installs have zero (well almost) issues. Let me know how your battery life is after a few charges. So far it has been good for intital charge but I normally dont even make it through a single charge before I change something.

Radio/Modem

Successfully installed Alpha 3 on my N2 (running STS v1.2 previously) but found that the baseband still shows MK4, isn't the NE2 one not included with this ROM?

EDIT: Even the software version shows MK4!! Please refer to the screenshot below:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
That is normal. It refers to radio/firmware/baseband (they are all the samething) and not the rom. Mine is lj1!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Sorry better shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpisini:
For battery life are you using the stock charger? I had an issue a couple of weeks after getting the note I switched to another charger and even though the battery said 100% I didn't get half the use out of it and as soon as I went back to stock the battery returned to normal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
I have excellent luck with battery calibration. Free app in PS called Battery Calibration by Nema. Old school of thought, but calibration should be done after every flash...my original battery in my over 2 year note 2 gets 2 days on a charge with moderate use. Talk, text, email, Internet. Usually on Wi-Fi and 4G...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
phone was plugged in until it said 100%

I can try that I guess. Every phone I've ever had since my treo has had awful battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
Follow app instructions. Charge fully, calibrate, use phone until it dies without rebooting or powering off in between. Should be good to go. Report back in case others need this too, please. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Alright I need another tester who has power off charging issues. You need to be out of warranty or not worried about warranty void.

My first tester has confirmed the fix is working but I need another to varify.

Major Props

JL,

I gotta give you MAJOR PROPS.

Considering you have SO MANY damn projects working, this rom is simply AMAZING! Zero glitches, great battery life, nearly everything I want without compromise...

4 days now on 2 N2s (one used by a 12 1/2 y/o digital maniac), not a single FC, SOD, random reboot....nadazipzeronothing to complain about.

We've got our Daily Driver, which imho is the greatest compliment I could possibly give you!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
A daily driver for a flashaholic? Did not know there was such a thing! Lol! Thanks for the compliments it make the work well worth it. Enjoy it till the next and most likely last release comes out.

I say last release because after that one it should be perfect and wont have anything else to improve it.

After the flash of beta 1.1, I lost root. I have used Philz 6.07.9 since day one and followed the OP's instruction. Got root back after re-flashing the SuperSU zip file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hedphurst:
First of all, thank you to jlmancuso for this ROM. It's awesome, and I'm extremely grateful for the work all the great devs do for our "old" devices.

I've had a couple of issues with this ROM, and thought I'd share my experiences in case others have been struggling with the same problems.

1) During installation, I've found that formatting the internal storage seems to cause me to lose root. I've been able to work around that problem by using the Aroma File Manager to delete everything on the internal SD card, except for the clockworkmod folder.

2) I've had problems with shortened URLs returning network errors, and ESPN's fantasy football site/app were unable to connect, as well. I finally figured out that it was due to the massive hosts file included with this ROM. I unblocked "games.espn.go.com" in the file, but ultimately just renamed the hosts file to unblock the various URL shortening sites that were being blocked. Now I can follow links from Facebook and manage my fantasy football team without issues.

Again, I love this ROM, and appreciate all the hard work that has gone into it. My minor issues were ultimately pretty easy to fix, and I my trial and error results are helpful for anyone else having similar troubles.

I remember the issue of hotspot not showing up on mk4 roms. The solution was a full wipe including internal sd then install of rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:

This was a fresh install this am. Wipe everything including internal SD 3 time each and reboot into recovery then flash this

Hi all:

Does anyone here have the charging issue: I turned the phone off and then plug in the charger. The phone turned on after 5 second. Any idea how to fix this problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Update your bootloader to NE2 and the issue will be gone. I have done this with two users already and it fixed their issue. Note that if you update bootloader you will then have a knox trip and warranty voided (like it is not already since you flashed this or any other custom rom).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:

my next battery is at 69% after 4:41hrs which is much better than it was before.

And yet, the warranty was long gone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:

Well, it's been fun, but I finally took the plunge and upgraded from my Note II to the G3. The Note IV is just way out of my price range right now.

Thanks for all the hard work. Even as an "Alpha" release, it was a great, solid rom. I only see good things coming in the future.

Take care and keep up the great work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Thanks. Hopefully the g3 will get some development soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mdknight:
Yeah, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But thankfully it's got root, so Xposed gives me what I need for now.

Thanks again for your work. It's been amazing.

JLman:

Battery on this beta 1.1 is awesome. The phone is into its 7hrs with normal usage and still has 82%. For the NE2 bootloader, was it MC2, MK4, and NE2 things?

TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Speaking of boot loader... I went ahead and reverted back to stock unrooted LJC and took all the OTA's in order till I got back up to stock unrooted NE2 (4.4 KitKat). The reason I did this was because JL had mentioned that the charging while powered off issue was possibly the boot loader (which makes sense).

I had previously found a way to fix the charging issue on my phone by choosing "restart system" in the power menu in Phil's recovery. But that soon stopped working and no matter what I did the charging issue was constant on ANY rom I flashed. So I decided it was worth a try to just upgrade to NE2 via OTA and let it upgrade everything including my boot loader (which was an old insecure LJC boot loader). Once I got back up to stock unrooted 4.4 I Odin flashed the latest version of Phil's recovery (philz_touch_6.48.4-l900) and immediately went into Phil's settings and re rooted my phone. then I rebooted and installed SuperSU from Google Play and let it disable KNOX. At that point I did a backup in Phil's recovery and then flashed back to Community 1.1. Now the no charging issue is gone. I think it was worth the trouble and regaining root is very simple.

[MENTION=4011301]jlmancuso[/MENTION]. Man I really appreciate all that you do here at XDA and I want you to know that I hope to see you here for years to come no matter what device you currently have/work on. It's really hard to find people who have such a passion for this stuff like we do so I really do value your friendship. There's a lot of things I still want to learn and there is probably no better community than XDA!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Thanks for your explanation. I will probably just flash the NE2 from RWilco site. I will give an update once I am at home to do this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Make sure it is the bootloader and not a modem.

Also guys not that many users will do this but if you run an older rom (non ne2) you may have the charing issue again.

Last bit of very important info. Do not downgrade with the back to stock rom with counter reset! This will cause soft bricks that are very difficult to fix. I have a fix floating around for it if it does happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Thanks for the heads up! Question: Would it be safe to use the Odin tar "COMBINATION_L900VPALJC_CL434243_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_user.tar.md5"? That was the only way I could get back to LJC because the flashable version failed.

When I was having the charging issue, if I flashed back to a custom MC2 rom the charging issue was gone. If I flashed any 4.4 rom the charging issue was there. So this is why I decided to revert to stock and OTA up to NE2 to see if it would help. Thankfully it did. I'm happy now. LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Don't think so?

Devil kernel settings was in app drawer after flashing but changing charging settings is"not supported by kernel". So should I try to flash the Devil kernel?

This is dropbox so if you download please try and post another dropbox link so others can use it. Once it gets too much traffic it will no longer work.

Ok then you dont have devil kernel. I suggest trying different cable/block/outlet. Also make sure everything is securely connected.

I was thinking about this too as sprint employees can get it for 49.99 right now and it would essentially save me 300 dollars but I did look at development and it is pretty much non existent for sprint right now. So a hard decision for me.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. For me, though, Xposed Framework is doing enough. (For now.) I just wish there was a stylus on the market that worked as smoothly as the one Samsung uses. I hate the rubber tips most styli use. Just waiting for someone to make a mesh tip small enough for proper writing.
