Does this mean for me too. Though I didn't notice it until I dirty flashed a ROM over stock.
But I may just have never restarted prior to the flash, so I can't be sure it's related.

This is a know issue with JB 4.1.1 and was corrected with JB 4.1.2 update. We now just have to wait till AT&T pushes it to us.

I've only noticed the keyboard issue on the stock ATT rom. I've been on the tmobile rom for 2 days and haven't noticed a keyboard issue at all.

[MODS] Do any of these exist yet for the Note 2?

I would love to find these mods (preferably in a flashable zip) either in a ROM or that I can do myself.
1. Force roam (roam control doesnt even work)
2. 1X/3G mod (I know the ultralight ROM has this but it appears to be the only one right now that lists it)
3. Deactivate security admistrator permissions for exchange email account
Coming from an EVO LTE and previous HTC devices, I miss these mods dearly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

By default Sprint has configured the signal notification to display "3G" even if you are in 1X RTT mode. Developers create a modification to add back the 1X symbol in the notification bar that will show when you are connected to true 3G EVDO or 1X.

There is a menu to change radio modes ie cdma, lte only....

awww. i noticed that. i thought it was a bug because i'm running the sprint os on my uscc note 2. thought the way i fixed it killed that. now i know! i'd contact the dev who has that feature in his rom and ask how he did it. i would very much like to know!

So I looked into the 1X/3G mod and I figured it out. I packaged it up and it's flashable. Works on any LK8 ROM.

I would like to see the the mod that when you hold the back button it completely shuts down that current app you are on. That was one of the best mods I had on my old evo.

What I have noticed with the Sprint ROMs on my phone is the 1X/3G handoff isn't really working so much. If 1X is available and there's no 3G is shows. If you go from 3G service to poor 3G it won't handoff to 1X like it normally should. Not sure if that's a bug between the OS and my radio or just the OS since I'm again running this on my US Cellular Note 2. But in the end if does show 1X with that mod. Just need a fix for the 1X/3G handoff.

I fixed up mine a while back and see it on 1x at various times. I assume your fix was just flipping the min3G boolean in the system ui apk.

Does anyone know if a Dev has found out how to force roam the note 2 yet?

Which rom to use? Jedi issues...

I am currently running jedi rom x10. I was on x11 but was having this weird issue so I reverted back. The issue is still here. When I'm home I always use wifi. If I'm home connected to wifi for awhile and I go out it doesn't allow 3g or HSPA to connect. I have to reboot the phone for it to work again. I'm guessing this is a rom issue? I haven't tried a different rom yet... anyone have suggestions?

I was running the Jedi ROM x10 & x11 (switched to Jedi CM) and never had these issues.... I can assure you that it is user error and not the ROMs fault.
Are you using cwm or twrp?

I am gonna have to say it probably was a bad download. Even if u did a reflash it probably was not with a fresh download. I have had similar issues and it took a while to get the download right. I always shut off my antivirus in case it wanna get dumb a block a file it thinks it bad. I have been on the rom u are using now and left cause if u try and ask a simple question u sometimes get flamed. It was just a bad experience with a few idiots over their.

In case it helps you, this Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs list is regularly updated.
It's usually updated daily, but I'm preoccupied with immigration and work stuff at the moment. As soon as things settle down, the daily updates will resume.

used Tweaked....best rom i have ever used
solid rom, with all the features of stock phone plus a ton of additional features such as skip tracks with volume and changing the colors of toggles and text, clock etc, asop lockscreen and more
with aroma you can install what you want or remove what you want, ++++
no reboots or freeze and excellent battery

Tweaked is my favorite TW ROM. Very stable and tons of options.

None. I'm running an AOSP ROM right now, Vanilla RootBox. For TW, Tweaked is my favorite right now. It's not missing anything at all. That being said, I love me some AOSP!!

Jedi Master 10 is the best ROM i have used so far.
i have issues with the phone SOMETIMES freezing when i open certain programs. the Quadrant Benchmark Test. It will happen with the CPU Manager. I let it handle the problem like a PC... I wait. The issue seems to have resolved itself after a while. also, some widgets are cut off. like my alarm clock doesn't fully show.
I am currently getting a consistent benchmark score of 7800. the FPS on the test is even at 58 most of the time, sometimes flickering to 59.its the smoothest i've seen this phone run the test
in all honesty. I would run the PAC-man ROM all day, but they seemed to have completely disabled all S-Pen functions (which is half my note 2 use). and i dislike the Android Keyboard. I prefer the Samsung keyboard with the numbers at the top like a laptop. I also do not like the quickness of changing from screen to screen its a snappy ROM with almost no flaws that I can detect
I also like CleanROM, but it has some things about it that turn me away from it. The auto correct function when texting is a bit sloppy. the S-Pen functions and writing don't seem to be as good. the speed of the phone is around 5000 on the benchmark.
if you don't use the S-Pen functions, and don't mind the Android Keyboard, try PAC-man.

[Q] (FIXED) Screen Rotation Reversed

Hey folks. I've mostly been a lurker around here for a number of years and never posted but I've recently encountered a problem I can't seem to fix on my own. Here's some basic info.
Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919)
Stock ROM (rooted)
Android 4.2.2
BB Version M919UVUAMDL
Kernel Version 3.4.0_562219
Recovery Clockwork Mod Touch
The problem I'm having is that I have to leave my phone with auto rotation off. If I turn it on, landscape and portrait rotations are 180 degrees off, flipped, upside down, etc etc. I've been searching high and low for some way to fix this and no dice! Please let me know what I can do. I have tried accelerometer recalibration and a few apps but I just can't get it to work right.I would like to avoid a re-wipe. I finally have everything just right. Wipes irritate the heck out of me because I guess Clockwork Recovery can't access backups on the external SD card? Ugh.
Problem: flipped screen, camera up side down, camera flipped, screen 180, screen upside down. Reverse portrait, reverse landscape.
Fix: Had bad kernel. Flashed to a newer ktoonz kernel and it fixed the problem.

BTW: I just realized that my camera is also in fact flipped 180. Sheesh. This is a royal pain.

Are you perhaps using a kernel not meant for tmobile? I ported roms for the galaxy s 3 and they always did that unless you used a kernel meant for your devicce.

Im not sure what lernel that is im sorry.just got my s4. But anyhow is it a custom kernel that you flashed? If so make sure you got it from a tmobile thread. Or if you would rather it maybe easier to flash a tmobile kernel such as ktoonz and see if that fixes the issue.

Just figured out its a custom ktoonz kernel. Replaced it with old stock kernel with suid removed and problem seems fixed by my sd card went south when I did. Cant mount it. Copying files off it now.

I am seeing the reversed auto rotation on my wife's GS4(SPH-L720) and it is stock unrooted. She has made no changes to anything! Camera and menu's are upside down. Web pages are upside down. She needs to keep auto-rotation off, just to use it! Others online with the same problem have been doing factory resets with no luck. One person did 3 or 4 factory resets and still has the same problem. My rooted GS4 is ok (so far) but hers (not rooted) is driving her nuts. She will never root hers (and would be angry with me if she knew mine was rooted). Any help at all would be appreciated.

If it is stock and unroofed the only explanation would be hardware IMO..... There isn't another explanation especially if a factory reset doesn't help it.

[Q]wifi dropping

I Can't find a thread about this, so I was go ogling and that doesn't really help. I am having major problems with my wifi it keeps dropping non stop and it's really annoying.

Maybe it's your router or better yet the router settings. Have you tried changing any of those settings?

Am I missing something? How is it a Samsung thing? What kind of router do you have?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

After looking all night I found a thread that fixed this. You have two choices really to fix or buy your router which I'm not going to do, or you can type in on your dial pad *#0011#. Then you click your menu button, click on the wifi option, and then disable the energy saver wifi mode. That made it so my phone wouldn't drop wifi connection anymore. NOTE: each time you restart your phone you need to turn the wifi energy saver off through the command *#0011#. Hope I helped some of you because this bug is truly annoying.

That stinks. I don't have any problem and I think this is only the 2nd time I've seen anything posted like this about the S4 (the S3 did have that issue and was common). I've never turned off any energy saver and mine stays connected 100% of the time. So you're saying either that or you have to buy a new router? What kind do you have now and what settings on it did you find out that cause this issue for you?

Right now I have whatever Verizon gives fios customers. It works perfectly for all my phones, tablets, and computer. Just not on my s4 unless I do the dial pad trick. I'll post a link on the xda thread when I get home on how to fix your router. It really does make me angry that I paid 600 for the phone and it does this. Hopefully Samsung fixes this soon since they acknowledge the problem
