returned it to MPD as it had major battery issues(would not hold a charge) and the screen wobble in tilt (which i wasnt too fussed about ) but the screeen was so loose when closed you could off set the screen
so the new one in tilt the screen doesnt have as much play and closed i seems a lot better
so to the battery whats the best way to charge it from new
is it put it on charge for 12hrs with the phone switched off
as i used the last one for amonth im not that bothered about fiddling with the phone until i get the battery right
any advice please
Hi Combat Goofwing, I thought i recognised your name, fancy seeing you over here.
it's Daz from MyGreatPhone btw.
I'm also rocking a Touch Pro 2, bought from MPD but havent got the serious issues you mention (knock on wood).
I never tilt the screen though so may have something to do with it
How you charge it shouldn't matter, it has no memory.

Hi,
I do not know if someone has posted or commented on this before. I bought my TP2 back in november and since then I have noticed that it would power off every now and then. Closing the keyboard would very often power it off, or slightly banging it. A friend of mine bought the phone the same day and had the same issue. I have been reading forums and people recommended changing the mother board, or re-flashing... but in my case it would still power off.
Yesterday I was enlightened. I saw the battery has a little movement in its enclosure. I inserted a piece of plastic on the upper left corner... now the phone will not power off unless I want it to. I have noticed the battery is even working better. It seems it is les than 1mm smaller than it should be or something.
Seems incredible, but this really solved me and my friends problem... hope it works for other people too.
P.S. I know my phone is dirty
waw
i came searching for that problem, my tp2 turn off some times when i slid the keyboard open !!!
i didnt have this problem before, but few weeks ago i updated my ROM at the HTC care office , so i suspect the ROM but let me try ur way .. may be some how the battery space becam 1mm larger
What version of Touch Pro 2 is that?
My battery is nice and snug on my tilt2 (RHOD300)
@ samarrai:
Please do try it and let us know how it worked. I have seen this problem occur and be solved this way on 3 rhodiumms already.
@ fone_fanatic:
Good one. This is RHOD210, I will try and find out what version the others with this problem are and post it here.
Thanks for your posts!
How odd this post shows up today. I have had my Tilt 2 for about 3 months and yesterday I pulled it out of its case to check the time and I could not turn the phone on. Had to remove and replace the battery to get the phone to come back on. Wonder if this is the same as above.
This post is actually really odd, cause the exact same thing happened to me yesterday, took phone out to check time and it was off. I just dismissed it thinking I prob turned it off while it was in the case. but didn't occur to me at the time that i had to use the reset button to turn it back on rater than just the standard power button. leads me to believe more than just a battery not fitting issue.
It might seem odd... dont know what so say except my phone used to shut down every day more than 10 times... my friends phone used to shut down really often as well. We both bought it from the same guy the same day, and both are RHOD210 from at&t.
Now that we put the little plastic thingy, they just will not power off unless we tell them to. I just thought I'd share the info in case someone else is having this issue. I know I read a lot about it while googling, and no one commented on this.
My desire z is going back for warranty tomorrow ...
The touchscreen and the buttons just under it stopped working without any warning.
Anyone else had similar issues??
Now unrooted with the latest ruu.

When you say it stopped working, did you by any chance have the phone on a worktop? or was you holding it in your hand?
There are reported issues with phones not working all the time when on a worktop, however mine always works when its in my hand.
When my phone is laying flat on any surface the screen just refuses to respond... however if I angle it just slightly it works just fine, or if I pick it up.
I have the same issue when its in the car dock. I didn't have the issue when I was running the stock bell rom this only happened when I installed cyanogen 6.1
My g2's touchscreen gets super lllaagggyyy, like laggy as crap whenever it is connected to the charger @ near full charge. It's random...yet it's not, like for instance..I can put it on the charger and initially it's very responsive. Then, after a few minutes charging the screen *seems* to be unresponsive, I just have to swipe it slowly and it jerks by @ like..5fps seemingly. This has happened on every rom ive tried so far from stock to CM.
Just installed MIUI and haven't had a chance to test..i'm assuming it's hardware related though.
When I First got my G2, The TMo Rep asked me to open it up at the store since i was getting the first one from that store and the touch screen didnt work at all, we turned it off and on and nada. So they replaced it with another one and it worked just fine. Other than that little problem i never had a issue on my G2 as far as touch screen freezing goes
Seems like shoddy hardware to me... I've never dropped the phone.. its always been in a protective cover.
Although I couldn't help thinking.. maybe all the extreme overclocking / general heating up of the phone may have contributed??

I have never OC my desire Z (not G2) but I have noticed the exact same symptoms of an unresponsive touch screen after flashing cyanogen 6.1.
I returned back to my stock rom and everything is back to normal.
I haven't had a problem since..
yes, when its on a worktop (table, desk, anything not my hand) and in a dock -- its not as responsive as you'd expect. I have to hold it and caress it with my warm loving hands to get it to respond.
now ---
this is not related to CM 6.1. at all. Ive flashed a lot of things since visionary and its happened on every single rom.
Id go get that phone out of the mail if I were you OP.
I have also noticed the problem with touch screen responsiveness when my G2 is mounted in a car holder.
I have figured that you just have to keep one finger on the aluminium body and the problem is gone. I have to admit that this is somewhat bizarre and I have never had this problem before with my G1 using the same car holder. Seems that there is an issue with electric isolation? I don't exactly understand how capacitive touchscreen works so can't really explain where the dog lies buried.
Maybe this is a feature. Protection and saves battery.

The same for my DZ - it is kinda weird, because if the phone is for example in the car holder it is impossible to use the touchscreen unless I put another finger on the phones housing. I tried different roms already, but the 'error' is still there.
It would be interesting if all users have the same problem or if it is just a few examples of phones out there.
Thanks,
Robert
Wow,.... only just noticed this a few days ago. Along with it not vibrating on incoming SMS, i'm starting to get slightly ticked off.
yeah happens to mine too =P
happens to mine also, nothing we can do about this?
I bought my Nexus from Best Buy on Saturday... I love the phone, but it overheats really bad...I know people have been complaining about there's overheating but a Verizon rep told me that mine shouldn't get as hot as it does because it will swell... 2nd reason for taking it back is I have really bad signal.. and apparently verizon is now saying its imaginary... but again the rep told me she hadn't heard about anything that I have been reading on the internet and it was the second time I called and they tried the same thing twice to improve it...but it didn't work either time, so they think it is a faulty radio
Here is why I can't decide to take it back...I haven't dropped it at all but I am some how cursed by a few barely noticeable scratches and one noticeable one and I don't want Samsung to charge me full price for the phone.
I had to return my droid incredible 1 when I had it, and it had damage and they told me if HTC says anything they will have to charge full price.they never did, I was sent a replacement with no problem. However, that was HTC... this is Samsung and I don't know anything about them.
So what do you guys think?...will I have a problem returning it?

Unless you really beat the crap out of the phone, I'd be shocked if Best Buy gave you any problems.
You're still within the first 14 days so Verizon/Best Buy should replace your phone with a new one on the spot.
Get a battery temp measuring app, I use minimalistic widget so I don't know what app can, then see what it's at.
I think the thinness of the device lends itself to a more prominent temperature change - even though it's nothing different on other devices.
When my GN feels hot, it's around 42C, which is about what my previous phones reach.
I took it back with no problem...and my new phone seems to get a tad bit better signal...its not as spazmatic as my other one...my old one would fade in and out really badly...this one does, but it takes a little while for it to do it.
Also on my new one, for some reason the screen seems better...it seems to get better whites than my old one
Well I'm disappointed!
phone arrived Yesterday. Worked perfectly whilst I added all my personal details then I decided to install asphalt 8, just to see how it performs (I don't actually intend to play it - can't stand the pay to win crap), and the phone made a nasty crackling sound and froze on the menu screen.
Powered down with power button, and on restart the screen is messed up with multi coloured lines running across it in various places. Then freezes, and reboots to repeat the process,the lines appear in different places. Sometimes makes it into the os, sometimes show the android error broken robot icon.
I'm guessing some fault with the graphic chip.
Luckily I bought direct from amazon so they are sending a replacement, but I have lost money on next day delivery, plus however much it costs to send back the phone (I'm in the UK but bought from mainland Europe) also not pleased my personal details are still on the device. At least I didn't import it from China.
Hopefully my phone was just a rare dud, and the replacement will be fine, as I can't find any similar reports online.
Anyone else had similar problems?
Yeah I would say that's a faulty unit. Sending it back is the right thing to do. Hope you get your money back

Well the replacement is great so far.
I noticed before the 1st one died that it was getting pretty hot on the back at the top, whilst simply going through the setup process.
The new one has been cool throughout setup, charging and about 3 straight hours of webbrowsing, so maybe the heat issue some are reporting is related to the hardware issue that killed my 1st one.
It does seem that quality control could be lacking, but as long as you buy from somewhere that offers returns, then i think its well worth buying.
I have just been using it as a mini tablet at home until i get a case and screen protector, so i dont know what the call quality etc is like, but battery on wifi has been pretty good.
Also, i charged it fully 3 days ago, and then left it on standby with wifi turned on and didnt use it. This moring it had over 80% battery, so standby time is much better than my s4 mini.
Hey guys, replacement day is approaching, and I keep reading these articles about overheating / overdraining battery issues in the replacement Note 7.
I wanted to open a main thread about how everybody who got a replacement Note 7 is doing and if they can report any issue...
So, if you have replaced your Note 7, how is it doing?
tnx for participating!

Doesn't look like a Hoax.
Whadda???
As well as the first. No issues here?
Got mine a week or so ago, no issues here. I managed to root it again using Sprint userdebug and it runs much better than the previous note did. Battery also seems to run very cool. The highest temp Ive seen was 34ºc, which is incredibly cool. That was while I was out playing Pokemon Go during a hot afternoon by the way!!
No issues here, other than occasional SD820 lag.
No problems here either...
Agreed, Jo issues other then slight SD820 lag but since the new update its far smoother than the old Note 7 I had and only has the occasional stutter.
Edit: Battery life is still fairly similarr, however, I think that's due to my personal usage.
Works great, the was a couple of minor things that were different. I can't remember what since they were so insignificant

Got the replacement on Sep 21
Today, Sep 25, about 11 am, my note 7 got uncomfortably warm, it can be felt both on the back through the synthetic leather cover (wallet case) and on the front, but mostly on the back.
Turned the phone off for at least 5 minutes, then turned it back on, within a minute it gets warm again, and in about 4-5 min. it gets warmer, unusually warm.
Turned it back off for at least 30 min., turned it back on again, and this time I can't even input my security PIN, the screen isn't responding.
I turned it back off, take off my 256 GB SD card.
Called Samsung (The recall Phone#), they answered right away (very surprised) told them what happened, she then told me that this is not the first time they had this issue with the new replacement Note7, she transfer me to the support department, she told me the tech support department should issue me some kind of report# or whatever, I forgot, so that I could bring that to ATT to get another replacement phone.
The support reps just told me to bring the phone to the store to get it replaced.
Went to ATT Corporate Store in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
The sales person told me that I'm the second person with the same issue. The store can't issue a second replacement phone, she suggested me to bring it to ATT Device Support Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
But by then it's already close to 5 PM, Sunday. The office/store will be closed in few minutes.
So the ATT store clerk says to bring it to Best Buy where they have ATT reps inside to get it replaced.
So I went there, bad news....the wait is long...I decided to come back the next day.
End of story.
Now, Sep 25, Sunday night, I tried once more to powered up the Note7
It works, it didn't get warm, battery is at 40%
Put the SD card back in, and back up everything.
About an hour later, the phone gets warm again!
This time I didn't turn it off, I just stop using it and leave it on, I set the battery to "Medium Power" Saving Mode.
Battery now at 25%.
I think this time, it could be a software issue.
I remember when I change my 2009 iMac hard drive with SSD, I had to install a software to make the Fan work properly.
Samsung need to call that software company
The only issue that I'm having is when I'm scrolling through the app drawer with my finger is very slow. When I scroll with the S pen it's very fast. Other than that no complaints the phone hasn't overheated at all.

I'm noticing some bluetooth issues.
It won't connect to my asus zenwatch2.
It will connect to my macbook pro for a few minutes.
I've cleared the bluetooth data and cache and turned bluetooth on and off.
Ditto on the bluetooth issues here. I use a Bluetooth continuous glucose monitor that worked great before I swapped. Cleared cache, reset, et cetera but connectivity is still intermittent.

I m getting the note 7 would you guys recommend me getting one
no problems at all! wonderful phone!
Exynos model here, no problems.
Replaced Exynos working well.
With new N7 I got better battery life and the phone doesn't heat up at all during fast charge (V1 did a little). If anything, the touch was not registering too well, sometimes I had to press twice to register. That was yesterday, today it's fine now, so maybe I just need to wait for things to settle, since I was downloading 3 GB of programs and data and still setting things up.
Im having bluetooth issues as well. it keeps disconnecting from my gear fit 2 and i have to manually open the app and hit connect, which works about 75% of the time. Also battery does not last as long as my previous one. its not horrible but i notice the difference.
Does anyone have gap problem in the replacement note 7?!

yeah i can slide a sticky note along both sides of the frame and glass on mine. my previous one was almost as bad. From what I understand this is by design.
