Hi everybody,
I bought a Note 2 in october 2012. I installed the ROM HD Revolution. Until now there was no problem.
Few days ago, my screen has swiched off and there was lot of reds pixels everywere on the screen.
The phone of course was rooted and the garantly not applicable.
So in the samsung shop, i explain that the phone was rooted... The techniciens has puted a new screen thinking that the problem was coming from a screen hardware. This new screen has well worked during 20 mn, after that, same trouble, the screen was killed....
My phone was sent to another tehcniciens ( more specialists and i think, working directly with samsung) in france, who can works on the motherboard. But just before to sent it, the technical personnal has succefuly replace the rom Revolution by another official ROM by Odin. (In order to keep my garantly.....wonderful techniciens)
Today the phone was return to me, with just a new screen. The third screen after mine who was killed in first.
No motherboard trouble, no graphic chipset trouble was fixed, only the HD Revolution ROM who is apparently , and i 'am sure now, has killed the screen
I'am not able to explain why and how, I am not found on the web or another forum the same trouble.
Somebody know what's happened?
thanks
Wrong section dude. This is the Sprint Note 2 forums. HD Revolution is for the International Version.

Guys,
I am just a person like you keep watching the post, but my situtation turned out to be the worst.
I brought my HOX 6 months ago, I unlocked before 2 months and installed CFW CM10 and others. I was playing acutally with different CFW. When I got really board and wanted to go to orginal Firmware (sense) I wanted to reinstall. I did that by formatting relocking. And then one day I installed what's up and then the problem started. They phone started to restart 1 or 2 a day and it started to become more often. That time there was no JB. So I thought I will have JB and I tried many FW and nothing worked. Everything keeps restarting.
But I remember just after What's up its all happened. Now recently 20 Days before JB OFW came I updated the same by going back to the nandroid 2.17 and installed JB. But still the issue was going on. It never stopped it started to restart every 30 min - 45 min.
Now a week before I gave the phone to Customer Care (service center) today I called them to ask for an update and they r saying " please get your phone back, we cannot do anything, the unoffical sofware has damaged your mother board we need 16 K Rs for replacing the same"
Now what should I say when I go to collect the phone ?
Is there a way that we can fix this ? As I can see how can a software could damage a phone ?
NOTE: While charging the phone ever restarts !!!
This isn't going to help but I thinkthey are using that as a cop out. I'm no expert but the only way I can see that happening its out the Ron caused overhearing to the extrey. I hope I don't have go get mine repairedfor whatever reason.
Good luck mate

Yes I agree they just wanted to push the ball to my side.
SAMSUNG GT-N7100 - Stock Samsung, no Root or custom rom.
My handset is roughly 3 months old, i upgraded my contract on UK launch day at the end of October with Phone4u as i have been waiting for this device 4 months prior to be released.
Everything has been fine with the phone, every samsung update has been applied to the phone without problems and is running the latest samsung update that was done over the air, the phone has been running that latest update for about a 2 months no problems.
I charge this usually at least once every 2 days, the phone had a full charge before i went to bed a few nights ago so i took the phone off charge, went to bed (the phone wakes me up in the morning) and the next morning, i didnt get woke up. I looked to the side of me on the bed side table and the phone looks to have rebooted for whatever reason in the night and it has failed to boot up, as a result it's now froze on the Samsung N7100 Logo and will not go any further.
Nothing responds, the only way to get this logo off is by pulling the battery, if you switch it back on again it freezes at the exact same point on the same Samsung logo.
The phone will boot into Download Mode, will not boot into recovery mode but according to the local samsung service centre it shows up as part rooted/custom so they cannot flash it when it isn't ??!?, they have advised me to send it back to samsung directly for repair.
I use this phone for business and cannot be without a phone, i have had to purchase a replacement (cheap £150 LG) phone to get my by..
----------
That was Friday 4th January, and i still havent got my phone back from Samsung yet! I phoned them today for an update and they tell me there repair centre Anovo have replaced the main motherboard in the phone and are currently awaiting a new software update from samsung to fix the issue (whatever the issue was/is) ?
Question really is, has anyone else had this type of sudden death problem with their Note 2 or is this just one of those things and i'm unlucky ? I noticed theres quite a large amount of S3 sudden death problems is this related ? :crying:
OMG i'm sorry for u
u cant do anything other than take the device to Samsung service center to replace the main board :crying:
do u remember what rom build u was on ??
It looks like SDS. It is the sudden death syndrome like s3. You are not alone. More have been reported.
Don't worry about your warranty. Sammy will replace your phone.
Hope you had a backup of your data.

yahyoh i don't know which build it was, all i know is that its was the latest update pushed out from Samsung UK (unbranded), the phone updated 3 times since it was new in November if that helps.
mariosraptor when you say more are being reported, do you mean Note 2's or S3's ?

you probably had 4.1.1 because with DLL7 4.1.2 the issue should be fixed
just checked in samobile and the last update in uk (unbranded) is 4.1.1

As the main topics of this forum are whining about the update situation, ranting about hardware defects and other unpleasant stuff (but justified, though), I'd like to share my recent - positive! - experience with HTCs support.
A week ago I decided to send in my phone because it suffered from the well know wifi-problem. I also mentioned that I had some screen flickering when the battery was running low, but I had lived with that for the last 18 months and it wasn't a big deal.
So, what did HTC do to my phone?
They replaced the wifi module. They replaced the bezel module (apparently something related to the display). They replaced the battery. And on top of that, they replaced the white cover, which had suffered from far too many falls to the ground. They reinstalled the newest firmware.
So, what did I pay?
Nothing.
Just picked it up, and in fact, I have a new phone, which will be good enough for the next 18 months of calling, texting, internet browsing, music, youtube, reference, a little gaming - with or without 4.4.
So, after my beloved HD2 died the day the One X was released in Germany, I immediately got one. And it is and was a great phone. It never reached the unbelievable community support the HD2 had (which never even received the last official version of windows mobile 6.5 from HTC), but it still is a great phone with a great design and user interface.
Okay, I just wanted to add this, hoping that there is still anybody here actually enjoying this beast of a phone

I just have to.... I returned mine 4 times because they didnt want to acknowledge the wifi problem and then the backlight problem. Then the newest update came (sense 5) and it broke my wifi. Called htc they said i have to wait for an update. Which took 3 months. Which means i couldnt use my wifi for 3 months... So yeah
I am glad for you you had a good experience.

i think it's just in nearly all other countries except of germany htc has really bad support...because in germany i got the problem with apx mode...bad wifi...bad battery life even with second battery...and housing was in a bad condition too...send it to them...and see there all except from the screen was new screen wasn't replaced because it was already like new and i just had to pay a few €for the delivering nothing more graet support in germany...but bad in others :/ ..
I had a good support from HTC repairing center in Middle East
I asked my brother to buy me the HOX from KSA is it was there much cheaper than here in my country Jordan , adn he biught it with an international warranty , I rooted it and Flashed a Custom ROM on day one
within a year I started to suffer from Black Screen of Death , I did send it to HTC local repair center but they claimed that the international warranty only covers software things so I decided to send it back to KSA with express shipping to my brother
there at KSA they replaced the Main Board without a question for free and my brother brought back with him , maybe I were lucky enough

Support in Holland is also very good, just had my volume rockers broken and they have fixed in a couple of days and fitted the latest firmware. And this time table was including sending it in and back with a courier. Happy with the HTC ( the same story applies to my old sensation).
yea i think in whole EU we have better support then somewhere else...but also here some guys were not so lucky like we :/ ...
Hi guys two question over here
1) i was playing the other night max payne in my hox and suddenly,the celphone became slow,i quitted the game and sense was slowly too! i decided to rebot the system and everything was working fine after rebooting,today i was playing another game,and again the same problem,im using viper x 4.0.6 and alex v kernel,what do you think it is ?
2) in my hox the screen is broken,is just a horizontal line,everything works perfect,i bought the entire lcd + touch screen,but i took my hox to the expert here, in my country i dont have official service or htc support except for the operator servive that is too expensive (trust me ,too expensive),and he said that is too risky to change the screen,sometimes the lcd doesnt work when is replaced,also he said that i should buy only the crystan without lcd,what do you say about keeping the screen broken?
Thanks and sorry for my poor english!
1: try stock kernel first and check that way if it's kernel related
2: is the screen replaced yet ? If not it's best to replace the screen + digitizer as it's pretty hard to separate the 2 from each other without damaging it.

Hi guys!
I have a F180L (converted on a E975), my phone never fell from any distance, or had any kind of impact, BUT...Since I updated to last version o Carbom ROM, I've got a issue on my screen...
There are random touches on my down-left corner of the screen. It's completely random, while the charger is plugged, or not. But it only happens when an app is opened, while in homescreen (even on google now cards) everything is ok...
I've already flashed another rom, the AOKP Android L release 11, the problem still here...I installed a screen tester app, and this corner is not recognizing when I touch.
What can I do? Is there any kind of fix for it?
It's really annoying (mainly while typing)...
Thank you for any help!
I guess its time for a replacement.
Made some research on other forums and found some people with the same problem, but on other devices...On Nexus 4 and Xioami (mostly)...They solved this by replacing the battery...I'll try to do that this week...
But any other tip about can help...
it might be a kernel issue
if u have jolla kernel try changing the kernel first
I have also the ghost touching on my E975.
Tried to do a scan with antivirus with no luck.
For instance it's hard to dial number, because there are ghost touches often.
It's like on tihs video, but I have touches even more often:

I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Any ideas about the issue?

I also had this problem and I sent it to service center (Still in warranty period). They replaced my phone touch screen and the problem is solved.

Thanks.
It's relatively common issue, hope it will not appear again...
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I seem to have a problem with my screen, not with the ghostly touches but my screen has like one part of it not responsive to touches especially the keyboard. While typing in portrait mode I can't type in the letters x and d and the whole line of the screen above those letters can't respond to my touches. The others are OK though. Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Already flashed different ROMs but same problem
So...I didn't manage to get a new battery to perform a test yet...Maybe I'll do that until the end of this week, and post the results here...
About the kernel...Mine is "3.4.0 [email protected]" ...
Going to update to new Kevin's L ROM and see what will happen...Hope I can help u, guys...
I had the same problem as well, unfortunately my phone was just out of the warranty period so I couldn't get a repair or replacement. I tried everything to do with the software and firmware at first to see if that was the issue(no luck). I noticed when my phone was either hot from heavy usage or charging, it was at its worst..couldn't even put my lock pattern in without it spazzing out. After almost throwing my phone at a wall numerous times I decided to get a new digitizer (easily bought online at reasonable prices). Watched a tutorial on Youtube and replaced it successfully and haven't had a problem since.

That's exactly the SAME situation the occurred today, almost threw at a wall...when data is on heavy usage, it gets worse...I'll try this, but I seriously thinking about to get a new Moto G...'cause this digitizer gonna take a long time to arrive at my country
Thanks for ur information, dude!
So tried the touchscreen test and found out it was like a whole strip of screen that got affected. It was okay just a few days ago though,

Yeah no problem and thats unlucky. I've got the Korean variant and wasn't ready to wait weeks to get my new digitizer either from Asia. I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit). Yeah the Moto G look great but it seems to be more of a downgrade from your current handset right?

I live in the UK I managed to find one here on ebay. I know you can get some from Italy , Spain and I'm positive there some in US aswell. Search "E975 housing or digitizer" depending on what your after. Do be careful as some replacements screens lack the LG logo or a bad quality. Im would give direct link but im not sure about the forum rules on that are. If your still unsure do PM me your country and I'll PM you back an appropriate link.
Hope I helped.
