Hey Everyone,
I bought my N7100 about 5 days ago, and i just noticed that when i try to take my calls through the speak, no one can hear me.
The device is 4.1.1 version, I did a whole factory reset and still nothing. I also checked using the voice recorder, covering the bottom mic with my finger and actually shouting at the top mic, and nothing. People are saying that it sounds like i put the phone on mute when i switch to speaker.
BTW, the FW i have still doesn't have the 4.1.2 update sadly - JRO03C.N7100XXALJ2 .
Any ideas before i take it back to the store?
Thank you.
I'd take it back if I were you. Stores generally offer refunds/replacements for a limited time.
So just to update you guys - This morning i also flashed the device for 4.1.2, still nothing good. Brought it back to the store, they replaced it and now the speaker is working as it should.
Thank you.

So, I noticed that I am not the only one haveing this problem when you are talking to another party and they report that they are hearing themselves. It seems to have append in the last few builds.
here is what I have done so far. I know it's not the phone, works fine on my backup of the stock rom. I have tried putting a piece of tape on the mic on the top and see what they report, It seems a LOT better, but not 100%. it seems to be acceptable , but still kinda bad! . I can't use speaker phone at all! I cover both mic's and the issue still happens.
I have also tried different modems, re-downloaded the ROM's etc. etc. formatted /system,
ideas? discussion, help?

People keep mentioning the problem but no one ever mentions fixing it or even acknowledging it. I don't get it. I would bet most folks using these ROMs have this problem. The person on the other end of the line probably just thinks it their phone and doesn't say anything.
The only way to prevent this from happening is to revert back to a build before 8/20. Something in that build and later ones is causing the echo problem. I have tried putting tape on the mics, putting cardboard inside the phone over the mics, turning noise compression off and various other things. No avail. Its the ROM, not the device.
So if you are using this ROM, call someone and ask them if they can hear themselves when they talk. I would bet they can.
Wrong place. Should probably be Q&A.

Cyanogen has actually posted about echo issues (in the T-Mobile thread) and mentioned he has a patch coming to address this at some point.

Umm... it has been acknowledged dude. If your form of acknowledgement is an instant fix, you might want to take a look at that. When things need to be fixed you need to have patience. You always have prior builds that can be flashed in order to resolve this issue.
Also. I just got a call from my fiance after I turned off noise suppression and she said the echo was gone today.
I say you just hold your breath until the dev fix your problem.

Are you on a stock ROM? That's the only way you will get the update over the air.
ya, im on stock... I check for updates everyday. In my notification, it said within the next 2 weeks & it has been about 1 month. just wondering if any1 else had this issue. I guess the hurricane could have affected the time line..We were hit pretty bad & still have alot of towers damaged.

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
Hi all,
I could not believe that I just made such a huge mistake.
I was curious to try the UltimaROM and downloaded it. It has so many features and for the first time in my life I did not check that this ROM is for I9100 and not the t999.
I was also curious to update the CWM and asked it to install the "latest one" which is one of the features in the menu.
Once it asked to reboot, after the install - the phone never woke up again. I cannot get it into recovery or download mode. The power button just do not respond and I do not feel the short vibration that usually occurs when the phone is being turned on.
I'm on a business trip for the next 4 weeks and now I'm stuck without a phone...
Does anyone have any idea how to help? I'm lost without the phone (and yes, I know I should have not done that when I'm away from home and I should always check the phone version.. I did a silly thing but can anyone please has any idea how to recover?)
Thank you in advance.
You can't without JTAG or whatever it is that's talked about in every thread like this one. Its dunzo while on your trip :-/

Same Rookie mistake.... I guess.
I have the same issue.... Everything seemed fine until I hit the "Reboot now" button and WHAM! Nothing. Mine is the Sprint LTE version, but the Guide I used from the Mod Dev himself didn't specify that this was for a specific S3. It was however mentioned in the comments AFTER the tutorial. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can send it into mobiletechvideos. They'll do it for $50 I think. They're in Texas though so shipping may be a pain. But still better than getting a new one.
EDIT: it is actually $60 there. Here's the link http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/

Yeah you have no choice but to send it in for repair either to samsung or to other repair place, such as mobiletech videos. I hard bricked mines a while and sent it to mobile tech videos and got it back within a week from the date I shipped it to them. I did pay for express overnight delivery though. You can also try jtag but that is known on helping with soft bricks, you've hard bricked yours, but hey you never know. There are no other options you can do.

Try removing the battery and putting it back in. Then push power, boot into recovery, and restore nandroid.

Finally bit the bullet and reneged on my promise to never buy anything but a nexus again. I literally unlocked the bootloader and rooted my gnex within about 2 minutes of opening it. But considering this is my first non-AOSP phone in a while, do you think it's worth exploring the stock ROM, what did you do, etc.

I think exploring the stock rom or any touchwiz time will make you change your mind. I stuck with touchwiz I am using wicked v 3 and xposed mod

Get a case. This ****ing phone is fragile as hell. I had a case for mines, and dropped it on a ****ing carpet and the screen still broke. So my bro. Please please get a case. Hard box, drop proof case, not just any case
