I have had a few faulty phones Galaxy S3's from o2 (Long story) and as a result they have offered me a Galaxy Note II, But its refurbished
Now they are sending me just the phone and battery and i send them back my faulty S3. So it means im stuck with the S3 charger, So will it fit and work ok ? (Maybe a noob question sorry)
Also it now means I don't have a box or accessories, I always keep my box for phones in case i want to sell after contract, so Im a bit peed off, that i don't have box.
So if anyone has there old box laying around with manual and accessories, I would be interested or if anyone knows where i can get one from
Phone is Titanium Grey, so would need a box for this phone.
The charger from the S3 will work just fine.

Charge will work just fine.
Will take longer to charge than the Note's original one (aprox 3 hrs to a full charge).
It will work, but will take significantly longer to charge, now than twice the time.
Try and get an original note 2 charger, the charging time saved is worth it.

I charge only at night because my battery life is so fantastic. So I don't really care if it takes 3 or 5 hours to charge. I use the original Note 2 charger by my bed.
I use my OLD Galaxy S2 charger sometimes when I just want to top off a little before I go to work or I have a long night ahead or for whatever the reason. But most micro usb chargers will work just fine. The only difference is charging time.
Cheers guys, I might go into O2 and tell them i want a new charger then. Cant see why I should have to pay out when phone was faulty.
Anyone know about getting a note 2 box ? or anyone willing to sell me theirs ?
Its interesting and unacceptable. If they accept to change with note 2 they Need to provide full box. Coz its not your fault.
But at least a profitable swap

Basically they are telling me, they are doing me a favour. They have given me the option to swap to the Note 2 due to 2 phones being faulty. Touchwiz stopped working on 1st phone and wouldnt respond, then 2nd phone they sent out, kept freezing and screen was going all weird.
They say they can only send me a refurbished unit, this comes with just battery and no charger or box. They said charger will work from S3 model.
I explained how i like to keep everything for phone, so i can sell it on after contract. But they just said, I would get same amount for phone regardless of if it had box or not lol.
Might go into store today and see what they say, hopefully they might be able to help me out, But if anyone on here wishes to sell me there old grey note 2 box please contact me
The note 2 Congress with a 2amp charger While s3 with a 1amp charger. I would ask them to get u a note 2 2 amp charger.

This sounds rather odd to me. Here in the Netherlands many stolen phones are sold, just the phone, without original charger or headphones. A box often functions as a proof of purchase. So I would not sell you mine.
You can get the original charger from eBay.

How is it odd ? have you checked ebay and seen note boxes for sale? there are a few but no note 2 boxes. Also there are loads of Samsung galaxy S3 boxes on ebay, and i dare say i will put my old box on ebay too, minus any info about IME number.
If on contract box is not proof of purchase, even if you have insurance with O2 they only ever send you a replacement phone and battery (refurbished not new)
$100 only. Sir.
+1..iam also ready to sell for 100 $...
Why do you need a box. ..we all pay full price in India here. .no subsidies. ..we have no problem needing the box. .. original bill recipient is enough for warranty issues

I am usually on the go and have had problems with my vibrant dying on me. I would like to buy a spare battery and wall charger which are both efficient/quality and affordable. I use my phone extensively when I travel and it acts, almost, as a life line for me. Please advise with information on potential solution.
Thanks.
P.S. This question may have been asked before but can someone provide updated info/links.
Heres the wall charger I use - http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Battery...ccessories&hash=item4aadd9fa50#ht_4889wt_1313
not sure about the battery because i paid a little more for the 1650mah one
this battery comes with a 3 year warranty - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BATTERY...ccessories&hash=item231427e052#ht_1381wt_1313
I bought an OEM spare battery with charging box on Amazon for about $25 six months ago. Maybe it would be cheaper now?

Awsome 3500 MA Replacement Battery With cover
Hey Brother, I run a Largecar for a living, and I use my phone more than anybody else I know of, including, navigation and as a speedometer!
This battery's worked out really well, and its incredibly priced right!!
The cover works perfect on my T-959 Vibrant even though its advertised for an I9000 which essentially are the same phones!!

Oh and BTW one more thing, when you go to Modding/flashing your phone, don't use this battery, take it out and use the OEM Samsung one, because its lacking some signature or code internally, and I found out the hard way, it wont allow ODIN or CWM to function right!! ODIN fails to pass until I swap to the OEM, and CWM wasn't acting right as well
Hope it works for you, It sure has for me!!
I plugged my S III on the charger last night before I had gone to bed. This morning the phone wasn't on and so I thought maybe the charger had gone bad. So I put in my spare Samsung battery. The phone still didn't boot. So I took the battery out and plugged the phone into the computer to see if it would come on. Nothing. I've been running a rooted stock ROM, specifically the one that didn't trip the flash counter. Any ideas?
Was there a storm the night you left it plugged in?
from my AOKP galaxy s3
It could be a short circuit.
What is why I do not plug in all my chargers directly to the wall...
Use a UPS with builtin circuit protector and ground before plugging in your expensive GS3 or iPad 3 or whatever other gadgets you might have.
No, there was no storm. Clear skies all around. The phone gets warm at the bottom like it is charging, but nothing comes on.

Nope. Got it June 25th.
Return to Samsung, the warranty period is one year. You can read more on Warranty Guide (that come with the phone) what is covered and what's not.
Good luck :good:
I knew there was a one year warranty. Was hoping a ota update broke it and I could fix it. Not been my day. Blown suspension on my car this morning.

Well the phone isn't turning on at all so I'm not terribly sure how they'd figure out it was rooted. Also, where is the model code? Not the model name, SGH I747. Samsung's site was asking for it and the choices were something like SGHI747MBAATT.

This is exactly why I installed a whole house surge protector, as well as each outlet in my house are individually surge protected. They cost more when I was building the house, but worth the additional $1K I spent upgrading all my outlets.

Those are what each outlet has. My home theater has a seperate monster 7 outlet protector.

Oh that's just neat. And AT&T would not outright exchange it, but I talked to their warranty dept. and they are sending me a new one and I'll out the old one in the box to send back to them. Guy I spoke to said he waived the few for the two day shipping. While I was glad, I couldn't help but feel like not giving warranty issues two day shipping for free to begin with is a bit of a ripoff. My device broke and I may have to wait more than a week to get a new one? Wth?
My battery is completely dead and is swollen to the point where I cant even get back cover on. I was looking to pick one up locally and I live in Chicago and thought it would be pretty easy to find replacement. Its not at all. Even the Sprint stores say they are all out of stock for replacement batteries for the E4T they only have the extended ones for 100bucks. I really dont want to be out of a phone a the few days that it will take to ship. Are there other phone batteries that work in a E4GT that may be more common that someplace like best by will have in store. Thanks
The OG epic....make sure u return that battery to Samsung and make them send you a new one. It may take 3 weeks, but your gonna need that

Just came across same problem in Orlando. 2 sprint stores, 2 batteries plus, 2 radio shacks, and one best buy. Nobody has our battery. Batteries plus could order it for me, and it'd cost $45. I ordered 2, plus an external charger off amazon, paid for overnight shipping, total cost $33. Regular shipping total was $14 I think.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Order on Amazon. I don't know if best buy carriers them in store but the do carry an extended battery and radio Shack has the same one as best buy. Check stock at stores around you. Or take it to your service provider, I think Sprint might switch it out. You can get the one from best buy or Radio Shack for like $25.

Cool, a sprint store gave me a battery even though I was out of warranty. Actually they didnt even see my phone. I pulled out the battery and showed them it was about to explode. She grabbed it took it in the back and brought out a new one. Its a 1500mah but she said to come see her tomorrow and shed give me the 1800. Very nice of her.
Also guys don't forget ATT and T-Mobile have Galaxy S2 in case something like this comes up again. Lots of swollen batteries lately.
Any sgs1/sgs2 battery will fit but sgs1 batteries are only 1500mah instead of 1800. You can find pairs with external chargers for about $25 on Amazon, Hyperion, anker and empire are the best non OEM brands. I'm actually going to sprint tomorrow to get mine replaced if they have any in stock around here, and then once I get a replacement I'm gonna order a pair with charger off of amazon so I have 3 i can rotate to help prevent the bulge reoccurring. Mines not super bulged but once it drops below 40% it will flicker and shut off and when i reboot its dead until I plug in and reboot then it jumps back to 40%+. Its quite annoying

Hi all, I'm pretty lost here. My Note II (N7100) suddenly won't charge. Earlier today it charged just fine. I've only ever run stock with root on it. It's not the charger, it's not the cable. I've tried many of both, all of which worked before, none of which work now. I flashed back to stock recovery and did a factory reset, and the problem persists.
When I plug it into a charger while off, briefly a gray battery screen with what looks like a stationary 'wait spinner' will pop up and then the screen will turn back off again. I know the USB port is not totally FUBARed, because I can flash it with heimdall in Linux. It shows up in lsusb when in the bootloader, but not otherwise. The port is pretty much spotless, especially compared with that on my GNex, which still works fine.
I've tried leaving the battery out for an hour, holding the power button, etc. It almost seems like a problem that could be solved by discharging some capacitors, but battery pulls always solved those on my Galaxy Nexus.
Any thoughts on other things I can try?
I can't even figure out how to contact Samsung support in case this is somehow a warranty/hardware issue. At least on their US site the N7100 isn't even an option in the pulldowns they want me to go through.
After some calls to Samsung USA and Canada, I gave up. Apparently the phone is from the UAE, for which Samsung USA has no phone number, and their repair centers won't touch it if it's international. This is really stupid and I plan to write to Samsung about it. It had only been three weeks since I ordered it, so I am returning it to the Amazon seller for a refund. I'll let them deal with their supplier in UAE I guess. I hate to do that, but it seems to be a hardware problem and I have no other recourse at this point.
I cant really help here but i wanted to let you know i had the same problem with a white note 2 from Carphone Warehouse in the UK, just stopped charging after owning the phone for 2 days (i had also only rooted and running stock rom).
Carphone warehouse replaced the handset for me and havent had a problem with the new one so far but its made me take extra care when plugging or unplugging the usb cable ( i use Airdroid for file transfers now). I guess there must be a defect with a limited few usb ports on the note 2.
I thought it might be a 3rd party usb cable to blame (i use a blackberry usb cable at work but ive stopped that now and only use the official Samsung cable).
Sorry i cant help just wanted to share my experiences, hope you get it sorted, good luck!
Thanks for chiming in Steve, good to know I'm not the only one. I saw another post on here like that too, maybe it was yours? There was no discussion. The strange thing is ODIN worked just fine. Maybe a loose connection only on one/both of the power pins?
Nah it wasn't me mate, I had just put it down to me being heavy handed and thought nothing more of it till I saw your post.
I've seen a post in the Jellybam thread today about the charging being down to software but I don't know how true this is as i've yet to check the facts.
Did you manage to get it replaced? I remember it was the worst feeling in the world when the realization hit that my phone wouldn't charge.

Yeah I just invoked the Amazon.com return policy, sent it back for a refund, and ordered another one. It was supposed to arrive today, but apparently UPS had some kind of mechanical issue and now it's delayed until tomorrow. I just need it to get here before my next month's Verizon plan bills so I can cancel before paying another month.
Sorry to drag up an old thread but this has just happened to me, EXACTLY the same as OP.
I've reset it, wiped everything, re-flashed latest stock firmware. Tried 3 different cables and two different chargers.
Pretty sure the battery is good because if I take it out of the phone and charge it on the dock, it works fine. If I then put the battery back into the phone, the phones works in every way except it wont charge
I have most of my digital life on this thing, I am so screwed without it. Look like its a warranty repair job then? Ive had the phone about 3 months from Phones 4U :crying:

Happened to mine to T-mobile version. Never dropped it, never got it wet, only 1.5 months old.
WTF? Seriously?
Behavior:
Charges sometimes.
Charge sometimes stops at 70% or less.
Screen sensitivity screws up sometimes.
Data constantly being transmitted whether WiFi or cell network.
Never dropped.
Never wet.
Never harshly impacted.
Never rooted.
Tried factory reset.
Tried pulling battery.
Tried different chargers and cables.
Wondering if the trident aegis case put too much pressure on the charger cable by pushing it sideways with the flap.
Any ideas?
Hardware problem.

Check in the box, and if you have an EROS Group sticker on it that means it's covered under warranty here in Dubai, UAE as they are the main distributor here for Samsung products.

This happened to me yesterday after spilling tea on it. I took the device apart as per this video, checked the connectors and reassembled it. Voila, the charger is working again. Obviously I take no responsibility etc etc.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 wont charge
I have also had this problem where my galaxy note 2 wont charge. I have tried all the chargers i have used successfully in the past and none of them will charge it now. I had the problem some weeks ago and now it has happened again. I only purchased the phone in January 2013. It is very frustrating. I have never dropped my phone or damaged it in any way what so ever. I have no idea what the problem could be but i will be taking it back to Telstra as i need it sorted out.
Same problem here - is this a generic problem with the Note 2??
I always put my phone on charge overnight , woke up yesterday and it hadn't charged. Swapped batteries - no problem - then put original battery back in, hey presto, charging!
But since then both batteries have run out and I couldn't get either to take any charge. Got it plugged in now and just like other people I've got a static charging ring showing, And no power.
Bought an external charger to try and get round this, but has anyone come up with a proper solution??

I lost my flex cable approximately 6 months into owning my phone. I sent it out for warranty(it was black) and received a white one instead. At the time, I was really mad, but now I love it. My PLAY has been sitting brand new in the box ever since, but I do pull it out and play with it and charge the battery from time to time.
It was very disheartening to me that my phone broke so quickly. It's also part of the reason why I moved on to another phone, instead of using my PLAY as my daily driver.
Right now might be a good time to order the new Nexus 5, it's pretty much the Holy Grail of phones, and getting a Snapdragon 800 KitKat device with a 5" 1080p screen for $350 is insane. I have 2 getting delivered tomorrow hopefully.
No wonder its out of stock, with people buying 2 or even 3. I wanted one, but its all out of stock. Oh well ill guess ill have to wait.
And for OP, your probably unlucky as my flex cable hasnt broken once and ive dropped my phone a lot of times without a case. Or maybe im very lucky?

I'll tell you why it's out of stock: dumbasses buying them up to sell on Ebay for a higher price. It happened last year with the Nexus 4, and it's happening even worse now.
The 2 phones we ordered are mine and my girlfriends. I've done nothing wrong here. If you were going to buy one, you should have bought it on the day it was released like everyone else did. There was plenty on the first day.
i'm thinking of fixing it (again -__-) and just not sliding it at all and see if that'll wrk
cuz i dont mind ordering one from ebay there quite cheap but just that i'm in the
