Thanks in advance for any help yall can give!

I didn't break them. It shipped like that. On the phone now with at&t trying to get a replacement and getting the run around! Gotta love AT&T! Maybe I can get some more refunds for my troubles? LOL Justed noticed it when someone asked me to NFC with them it didnt work. So I checked youtube to see how to do it then tried with wifed SIII and it didn't work. Thats when I started investigating!

That one is gonna be hard to convince them to replace ....good luck...if all else fails u can just order a new sim try assembly........ this might help u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-2zrZ_aNo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Excellent video there! Good stuff.
Well the phone call didn't go well they wanted me to let them charge my card $299 until they got my phone...didn't budge and manager so say got disconnected and was going to call right back. Called local corp store they said bring it in and they would replace it.
I brought it in and now my NFC works! Everything else seems fine as well so far!

Now 6 hrs later and manager still hadn't called back. I will call and make a formal complaint tomorrow. Heads are gonna roll!
I am less than my 14 day return so I could have just returmed it and then got a new one. Noy so sure whats so hard about sending a replacement for the defective one they sent me.

Yup it was. To be honest it looks like it was never soldered on if you look at it closely. I am pretty sure it was a manufacturing defect. I know 100% sure I didnt touch or break it. In fact I hardly ever took the back off except to add sd card. The only reason I checked the contacts was because NFC wasnt working.

The tab isn't on the lower at all.
Doesn't matter anymore though since The local corprate store exchanged it for me no questions asked. Took maybe 15 minutes!

You may already know this if you've had experience with previous phones, but take your time and thoroughly read threads before doing anything. Your phone was cheap to get, but will be expensive to replace if you brick it. There is at least one dev here who frequently posts roms that never work (but the descriptions make them sound awesome), so read more than the first post--check out the last pages too.

Here's the link to the Note camera/gallery thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32293258. When you flash it, you'll have a 2nd gallery and a 2nd camera. You'll need to delete data for the new gallery and reboot to get it working. The only thing I've seen that doesn't work in it is the "Cartoonify" effect. And the name of the dev I was referring to earlier is droidmodder. He seems to be trying hard, but hasn't been very successful yet. People give him a lot of crap in his threads because the roms apparently have never worked. But who knows...one of these days he might be awesome.

Remove s-pen, choose a image you want to crop and when ready press and hold the button on the pen and go around till you reach the starting point. Then it will give you several options as to where you want to use the cropped pic :thumbup:

I cut out banes mask and sent it to S Note. Then, I added the picture of my cat to that S Note. I moved the mask to the front by long pressing it and selecting 'move to front'. Finally, I sized and rotated the mask until it fit on her face.

What app are you guys using? I tried it on the gallery but it doesn't show up unless you hit draw on picture. But then it gets kinda greyed out.
Never use my pen and probably need to figure what I can use it for.

There's a certain part of the screen where my s pen doesn't work. . But everything dous work with my fingers so it must be the s pen. With the wacom test I get the same results.
Any ideas? Thinking about going to the store and get a new s pen..

It might be broken in some places and not as a whole, it's better to get it checked.

No digitier has nothing to do with touch detection.
Digitizer for s pen is broken. There are 2 different units. One for s pen detection and another for touch detection.

Are you using a magnetic cover... Then remove it and check.. It should be fine.... Magnetic cover causes issues with s pen

Then im going to send it back I guess... I did root though, with odin, without flashing a custom recovery. Should I unroot? Using the note 2 without any accessories.

As vishal said, do you have anything magnetic around that part of the phone? Magnets mess with the phone's detection of the s-pen.
EDIT: Just noticed you said you're using it without any accessories above. Have you tried using a different s-pen, or your s-pen on a different phone?

Havent tried it but found a video on YouTube where it shows this problem. Still have warranty so I'm going to send it back. Thanks for the help, too bad my phone doesn't work properly. ..

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

I have something relatively similar problem.... if I draw (horizontal) lines in S note with just a small pressure, when i get near the right side of the screen there is a small area (4-8mm wide) where it won't write. With some more pressure it will write. It is something with the digitieser ? PS No magnetic cases where used but it has fallen from around 1.5m hight.

I tried using some extra pressure, no luck.. any other suggestions before i get it to repair? Its such a little problem of this lovely device, hate the fact that it dousnt function properly...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Do you use a magnetic case or screen protector?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

Okay here's what I'd do.
First put the s-pen between two study coasters and then slam it firmly onto a hard surface. Using about a third of the pressure you reckon might crush it.
Second look for a guide on how to remove the s pen button cover and adjust the sensors to see if it helps
Third. Unroot, clear the flash counter and update the firmware OTA if available (just because that's what any good customers service advisor or engineer would do/ask first). You said you rooted through Odin, I did not know you could use Odin to do that, so I'll stick to what I know. I would flash a stock firmware from your country and network, preferably the one it shipped with. Use the latest Triangle Away to remove the flash counter and return unmodified status. Perform and check for an update, return to the store.
Best of luck.

Red light... IR or Proximity Sensor?

I have an AT&T Galaxy S3, the I747, which is currently running the 5/10 build of PAC-Man, the 5/9 build of the KT747 kernel, and task650's 5/8 gapps. I dropped it about a month and a half ago, shattered the screen, and had to replace it. A quirk to this is that I had to replace it with a screen from a Sprint Galaxy S3, the L710. After I replaced the screen, on Friday, I flashed to the stuff I'm running right now. Yesterday (Sunday), I noticed that the sensor directly to the right of the front-facing speaker is lit up with a very faint red color at all times while my phone is on. I have done a little searching, and from what I can find, everyone is attributing this to Viber, which I don't use.
It's this one:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My proximity sensor and light sensor are working fine still, but my main concerns are battery life and longevity. Is this light being on going to either hurt my sensor in the long run or create unnecessary drain on my battery, and if either is the case, what do I do about it?

I noticed mine was on one day while i was in bed, just rebooted and haven't had it since. I don't see why it would need to read data from the proximity sensor unless your on a call or so it shouldn't drain battery . if your in the SMS app then it might be using it for direct dial but I'm not sure if you have that feature in pacman

Any ideas for a probable culprit?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Try a program called greenify. It will tell you which programs are causing wake locks and what is using the most battery.

Hi, I used to have Viber installed, until I noticed that dot I didn't relate it. It made me panic so I went through my apps 1 by 1 and found viber to be the one keeping it always on even when its not running. If you don't have Viber, go to your installed apps page, go to downloaded tab and force close each one. If the red dot is persistent then its another app. Keep going until its gone and you'll find the culprit.
Have a good day.
