Tmobile Note 2 Bugs/Fixes

I know this is gonna happen so let us start it now. The first issue I've run into with my Note 2. I was listening to music via Google Music and I plugged into power source and music started skipping; when I unplugged it began to work normal again....any suggestions?

The first problem I noticed is that there is a typo on the phone battery cavity. It says 1300 mAh and it should read 3100

Why is ther no support for FM radio on the TMobile version according to Engadget ( link: http://www.engadget.com/update/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-usa/ )

so with my music issue what I did was unplug and replug a few times to get it to stop skipping. I'm currently listening with no issue I haven't tried to recreate anything in fear of skipping music again. I will plug in and give it a whirl when I get home to see if it skips ..... if it doesn't then I'll just mark it down as weirdness

1300 is the charger... not the battery....

My international note says that too.
3.8V - 1300 mA.
So that means the fastest charging current is 1.3A? 3.5/1.3 = 2.7 hours to charge with the best charger?

Ijust don't find the stylus a responsive as my finger sometimes. For example when Web browsing, I can't consistently get the bookmarks icon in the upper right corner of the screen in portrait orientation screen to consistently register when using the stylus. It works every time when I use my finger.
They said the tip of the stylus is rubbery, but when it taps the screen it clicks like it's made of plastic. I've never used the stylus for the first note but when they said rubber tip I was expecting it to be rubbery like an eraser but it still feels plasticy

Samsung has a track record of not including FM Radio on the US release of their phones. Not sure why that is. The One Series from HTC have them.

My international charger is 2A...charges very fast. Wonder why T-Mo neutered the charging power for it's Note 2? It's the same 3100mAh battery...strange.

I am from Grand Rapids, MI and I have the T-mobile that I got today and it says 3100mah on the battery so maybe you just picked the wrong place to get your phone.... LOL You got a SanmSung....
**I also notice on the T-mobile version that when you go to the dialer and press *#0*# there are more test options....??**

mA and mAh are two different units. One is current, the other is electric charge.

anybody notice a problem with pressing backspace sometimes?? i downloaded Multitouch Vis Test and that area messes up sometimes as i run my finger across it

Multi Window not working for me that's the main reason I got it

The first bug I encountered was every time I went into settings the phone would freeze and then reboot itself. After I did a battery pull the problem went away.

Well your not too far off... I went to the store on Alpine in Grand Rapids and they had 3 Titanium in stock and they said the Samsung rep just left and he also told them that they most likely will not see any other storage configurations... That would blow... Gimme a 32gb!! I was the 1st person from that store to call about a Note 2 and was the first one to pick one up and that was at 12:30 this afternoon so the demand seems kinda low since they only had 3 and they still had all three after noon! I am the 100% 1st certified 'GEEK" to walk outta that store with a big smile...

Nice the sprint corp on Ivanrest has 4 of them. I didn't bother with the 28th st corp sprint because they for the most part have been useless and both times I have went there they botched my account.

Ya I used to work at Sprint years ago as a technician but now, with most of all service centers closed down, they just give you a refurb instead of bothering with getting it fixed... It was good while it lasted but, as you know, the economy is not very well over here... :crying:

I'm 99% sure you will need to do the mod in my sig in order to get this to work. Instead of using the palm coil use the Qi pad.

I'm on tapa talk so I can't see your sig, but I'm assuming that it says that you need to do a hardware hack.
People unless you see tmobile or t889 it's not going to work. The tmobile version of the note 2 is missing a little chip that allows wireless for some reason. Unless there is a software workaround that hasn't been pushed wireless is a no go.

So if I do the mod, I can just buy one of those $15 coil pads and it'll work for palm pre and Qi chargers or no?

Don't think so. From what I gather, T-Mobile version of note has contacts, but they don't do anything. Wonder if there's a way to go around that. Like solder a wire or something. but I doubt it.

Thanks, just noticed. Seems to be a simple 1 wire job. Problem is, my soldering skills leave a lot to be desired. Guess it's time to practice. Or ask someone who knows what they are doing.

You'll be fine, last time I hold a soldering iron is like 20 years ago, my hand a bit shaky now, and I did it just fine. Just be careful when prying the phone open, there are 2 clips behind the battery spot top and bottom.

hmm
I was tempted to do this. Worried about messing up tho.

I actually just bought an at&t gn2 specifically because of the wireless charging issues on the t889. I'll have to hack it a little, but my understanding is all frewquinciesnshould work just as well as on the T-Mobile gn2.

One-click root method working?

theres an article claiming it can root G4 much safer and user friendly, also quicker (in 5 minutes)
havent heard anything about it on xda, so thought i might bring it up or see if anybody has tried this method or if its just a scam.
Im aware or low effort root, but is one-click root real too?

what's wrong with the current root method? it's so easy! there are about 3 steps, if you can't follow it perhaps root is not for you.

One Click Root isn't a fake. I actually used it because I was having issues due to having a mac. They even remoted in and done in no time. Just to clear up the myth fwiw.

Could you please tell me where to find the 3 steps

So I must have missed the thread

How much did it cost? No one is going to remote in and root your phone for you free of charge. Whether they had you pay in actual currency, or had you install software that included malware.

I asked them
it is $39.95

You have to be insanely stupid to install that malware and give some stranger remote access to your phone and computer, AND pay $40. If anyone actually does this they deserve to have their phone taken away and given an iPhone.

Yeah and for your information I am not insanely stupid because I did not do it
I asked them about the one click root for Lg4 h815 and they told me has to be done manually for $39.95
So that's why i know the price OK?

It is fake. Currently there is NO One-Click Root method for our G4.
In all honesty though the "low effort" method is so easy and quick (less than 5 minutes, seriously it only takes a few seconds once you have all the files you need) that I do not even see the point or need in making a One Click method for it.

The one click method works but yes one needs to give them access so they do the root for you. Yes 40 bucks is steep price. I am guilty as charged for having paid the amount. I am in no way a noob. Been rooting since the g1. But this time I had to for I have a Mac and all done through a virtual machine.

Who's Thinking Of Getting This Phone?

Hiya folks. I've had Xperia phones since 2010 and I'm thinking of replacing my broken Z3c with an XA1. However I really don't want to be tied into a 2 year contract for a handset that's unsupported.
So I was just wondering..I know it's early days..but is anybody else thinking of getting one of these?
If you're browsing this forum and considering a purchase, reply and let me know! :good:

Hello, could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Could anyone run this app(enable "Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API" in settings) and post screenshot while connected to LTE only or 3G when 4G not available(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer([email protected]) with screenshot.
Thank you

Well, I've got this phone now. Got it this afternoon. Initial impressions are good. Yes it's not a powerhouse but, for a mid range device, it's really not bad.
Hopefully I can get it rooted soon then I can mod the hell out of it.

I've had it less than a day so I can't really comment. But I haven't noticed any significant battery issues so far. I've come from the Z3 Compact and this seems to do everything I need it to do at the moment. The sound is good, picture quality is decent (yes, it's not full HD or whatever but it's a phone..if I really need amazing picture quality on my videos I'll use my TV) and the battery seems okay.
Like everything, it depends what you're using it for. If you spend your whole day playing Pokémon Go at full brightness while listening to music, your battery is going to be annihilated..

M Pen for AL00 CN version?

I've taken the plunge and ordered the CN version. When shopping for an M pen I came across a couple of sellers with pens that they say are only for the Chinese version.
Is this true? Do I need a different M pen just because it's the Chinese version and not international?
Thanks

According to the customer q&a section in this Amazon listing https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-M-Pen-Mate-EVR-AL00-Gray/dp/B07KBF9Q61 even though some pens are advertised to "only" work with the Chinese EVR-AL00 version, ppl have responded that it works with global EVR-L29 too

Thanks for this clarification. Much appreciated.

well yes at least to me, open box means someone opened it and then i cant be sure if its completely new or user return or sth but factory sealed means you are the first hand to open it since you pay alot of money for it lol
sadly enough, wondamobile and tradingshenzen both open the boxes and when i asked the later for a sealed factory they said we wont give you warranty then

I've only read them opening the boxes to put Google play on it. Which I can understand as it's beyond the skillz of most users to get the 3 apks on and working. But yes I see what you mean. I guess you could tell.be looking at battery charge cycles and stuff as to whether it had been used previously.

i wasnt aware of that but good to know and as you can see its best to be the first to open sth you spend lots of money on

I got my AL00 yesterday. It was an unopened box. Lots of Chinese stuff but enough things in English to let me get started.
I added Google Play after some searching around on how to do it. Hopefully all sorted now.
And a pen that was stated to be for the international version works fine with the Chinese one.
