Oh well, now you asked i will reply
It is a bug in Note 1 pen too and it has been carried here. It usually happens when your phone is on flat surface.
Many people have it fixed by having their S Pen replaced with warranty :good:

Screen inaccessible once engaged in call. WTF?

Usually I can hit the power button to bring the screen back but sometimes it won't happen, like just now I hit the call button then realized I didn't want to talk, so I hit the power button and nothing happens and I can hear the phone ringing and i'm left I
With the only option to huff the phone at the wall in frustration(come on, you know a cell phone has given you that impulse before) and then the person answers and I gotta tell them in my rage, "look I really didn't want to talk to you but my phone decided otherwise, so sorry bye". Someone please help before I destroy my phone then bomb T-Mobile HQ or Samsung, whoever is responsible. Thanks in advance

are you rooted are you using a costume rom? you need to give a bit more info here, if you want help. Next post try saying Im rooted using XXX rom, have flashed before and all was well and have cmw installed or any variation above that might apply, at this point I think you are stock which I would seek warrenty.
Oh sorry, maybe I should put that info in my sig or something. I've got bombardier, not sure which version but it's old since I never kept up on updates. So maybe I should be posting this in that sub forum? I wasn't sure if it was a ROM issue. Mind you this issue isn't consistent, and sometimes it seems to just take too long, like this case after the person picked up the phone, before bring the screen back, and that the system is lagging maybe(?). I don't know but it happens enough.

That rom isn't being developed anymore, it's been long forgotten and the dev got a new device. Have you ever wiped cache/dalvik cache? fix permissions?
Not regularly. Perhaps I'll give that a shot and if no luck maybe it's time to find a new ROM. Thanks

Try megamix?
If you are looking for a new rom, I would recommend you looking a megamix, it's has the ICS port too.
Oh cool, thanks. Didn't know ICS was ported already

[Q] Help please - rooting Android 4.1.2

Just picked up my Note 2 today - Sam's Club is selling this weekend for $198.99 and the $36 new phone charge is refunded. Sealed the deal for me.
Anyway, all of the great resources I found with regard to rooting are for Android 4.1.1, Build JRxxx. My phone is Android 4.1.2, build JZ054K. Could you please point me to the appropriate resources for rooting this device?
Thank you.

I use QBKing77's method. Got my phone a couple weeks ago. Came with 4.1.1. Did the OTA to 4.1.2 then rooted. Also sent donation to the creator of the Galaxy Note II toolbox. Works great. Try that, bud.

As a senior member, and a basic Internet user, I know how to use Google. The op isn't even on sprint. The one who complained that I didn't Google it for him says they have tmobile on their profile.

HTSRyan,
Thanks for the helpful reply. Just to be clear (since I was not in my original post): Your Samsung Note 2 is on the Sprint network and its build is more-or-less the same as mine, i.e., JZ054K?
p.s. It is my intent to send a donation once I am rooted...
Please help
First of all please accept my apologies if I am posting in the incorrect site location - this isn't the most user friendly site I've ever come across, but it is definately helpful to to get help from you friendly and helpful people!
I've just purchased a Galaxy Note 2 (N7105 Vodafone Australia). I've managed to unlock, root and install TWRP perfectly.
My problem is that I've tried three different custom roms in the last few days and none of them seem to work properly with the s pen. The three roms I've tried are Cyanogen, Android Revolution and Omega (in that order). All three of these roms seem great, until I take out the s pen....
The only one of these three roms that will even recognise when the pen touches the screen is Cyanogen (which is the only of the three roms that don't come with the samsung s pen apps). Both Android Revolution and Omega came with the s pen apps pre-installed, but don't seem to work with the s pen at all?? Am I doing something wrong? Are there s pen drivers or something that I need to install? Omega is currently installed and it does vibrate and make a noise when I remove the pen from the dock, but does nothing when the pen touches the screen.
Another thing to note before anyone tries installing these roms on this device is that, after installing Android Revolution or Omega, the phone has no reception and says sim isn't installed. I managed to correct this by installing the modem driver on top of the rom - this took me a day or two to figure out it was the issue and how to fix!
I know its a pretty new phone and therefore there aren't many tried and tested roms, but the three I've tried are pretty common so I was expecting more information about them online than what I've found. I'm by no means an XDA Developer, but have rooted and flashed a few phones and roms in my time. Any assistance or advice in relation to getting the s pen to function on Omega v13 with my N7105 would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

[Q] Screen is unresponsive with finger

I was running the tweeked rom on my Note 2 and was loving it, was running great for a few days...
Today the screen froze when I went to unlock and check a missed call. I am unable to get any response from my finger, nothing... The S pen does work though.
T-mobile tech knew nothing about how to fix it. I tried a different rom and still the same.
Any suggestions? Calibration? Anything? Thanks so much.
As it exists across roms, it regrettably sounds like a hardware issue. Have you tried flashing a stock odin? Likely won't help but it might be worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply. I am afraid that is a pretty big problem too, related to hardware. 10 minutes before the finger freeze I was just realizing how much I loved the phone with the Tweaked Rom and totally set-up.
Anyways, it's going back to T-mobile. I used Odin to flash to stock and used Triangle Way to reset the flasher... Now I am scared to root it and run a rom on the new one, but I know it was just a freak incident...
Just sucks, I hate getting a refurb replacement... I don't know what dirty, grungy, smelly pocket it's been in for a couple months, uh...
I had an issue on my first note 2 where the top right and left of the screen couldnt register the s pen, had to send the phone back. I flashed jedi as soon as i got the second one and been happy ever since.
Moral of the story, DONT WORRY AND FLASH AWAY. ur right, it was a freak accident and it wont happen again.

Keyboard Freez and Touchscreen Not responding?

Hi Guys,
I've been having some issues lately, I Installed de Jedi-X16 Rom on my Note 2 (Awesome Rom btw) The first Days was running really nice and it still is.. But now i've been having some problems with the Keyboard & Screen (Not really sure if it is the screen itself) When i'm typing sometimes it stops typing like a 2 second freeze then it recognizes again my typing, even when I reboot after a few minutes it does it again, It doesn't do it the entire day but it bother me a little, about the Screen it sometimes stops responding too and I think the "Keyboard Problem" is the same as the screen doesn't respond to my touch, The phone is practically new I have it for like 4 to 5 months.. Do you guys think it's the rom itself? Even if it started a few days after i've installed it?
*** My nephew messed up my USB/Charging port (He is a 5 month baby) and he filled the Usb port with Saliva and it doesn't work anymore LOL, I don't really care about that since it's replaceable, but I pointed it out so You guys can tell me if that saliva could have affected the screen itself and if that is what MAY be causing the problem or is it just the ROM.
I hope you guys can help me
Thanks!

Me personally don't think it's the Rom! I get keyboard lag with my Rom. But doesn't bother me that much. As I don't complain about every lil thing.. if the phone works without any serious problems I'm happy!! :thumbup:
Now concerning that the baby had your phone in his hands. With it upside down, with his mouth on the bottom by the usb port.
Drooling all over it. Pending how long he had it and his mouth on it, the liquid possibly leaked a lil to far into the phone. That might be causing those problem's??
If you personally think it's the Rom then flash another one. And see if your problem persist!!

Thanks for your advice!

There is a UK version of 4.2.2 for the 5120, that works great. I screwed up and tried to put a 5110 ROM on, then had to scramble to find this one. Took me 4-5 days, but I got it finally.

This won't work. Your device is different than ours plus we don't have a recognized/confirmed way to unlock the bootloader.

Is it just me or does the display not respond sometimes?

Jeez, I'm not to sure this device is all that great..I'm using a Note 3 phone and this thing is a piece of crap compared to it lol. The screen not being responsive to touches sometimes are really getting annoying. Also I'm thinking AT&T may never update this thing. Seems like they always care about the initial release then it's history.

Lots of threads on this. Yes, the screen is unresponsive. It's a true bummer. I have hope that we'll see 4.2.2, hopefully in the next month or two. When it's released, I hope it has the screen responsiveness fixes and S-Pen offset fixes in the latest wifi version OTAs. I agree with you, I'm losing some patience with this device. As a whole, I love it. I need the pen, like the screen, like that I can use PAYG data, good specs, and the form factor is perfect. Don't like that it's not updated, the screen freezes, no unlocked bootloader, no custom ROMs, and not-so-great battery life.
