are you on videotron?
because 1 of my friend can confirm that this is happening almost everything when hes not on wifi..

yeah, same issue for me

not quite sure ... but i think i had this issue on stock rom ... i'm gonna do some test late tonight and tomorrow and give feedback !

I called videotron 3 time and 1 of them finally found a ticket for this for investigation.

Also th eproblem doesnt happen when Using CM10.... so its firmware/ os bug

I'm on stock
Do you get sometime a "gateway timeout" message when surfing on the web ? (on 4G)
I'm a bit pissed about that

Yes i did it happens to me on wifi alot !! So annoying..

oh mine on Wifi is perfect . its really is just when using the 3g/4g network.
Anyway like I said earlier It is a firmware bug becasue the issue is not present with CM10.

I'm on exajoule and after some testing, I didn't get any connections error. So like state above.... Probably a os bug.

Maybe you could try to go in recovery and fix permissions? Don't know If that could help.... Won't hurt definitively.
Are you running the latest play store build?

To my knowledge you do have a problem and I don't. Same phone same carrier..... If you're not willing to try to fix your problem yourself and put the blame on vdt or the hardware.... Good luck my friend.
I was just trying to help you.... But quite frankly.... You know better than me....

Nope - since the device is dead (hence the name sDs) you cannot go to download to update the ROM whatsoever.
My official fix after SDS happened was to get it to Samsung repair.
Unfortunately it takes them over a month to repair! (Hope to get it back this week, maybe that's just before our holidays)

Got it back, finally after about 6 weeks! Repair should be ashamed!
The motherboard has been changed and so far it's all working good. However, I notice that GPS takes much longer to find a fix.

As far as I know all firmware with official Android 4.1.2 version are SDS safe

[Q] Should I update?

I just bought an international Galaxy Note 2 and it came with 4.1.1 N7100XXALJ1 and I can update it to 4.1.2 N7100XXDMA6. I'm asking you should I update because I've read very bad reviews on this forum about bad battery life, problems with microSD cards and Wi-Fi issues. Thanks in advance!

Well you missed very bad reviews about sds bug. You could be the next anytime.
Other than that flash dma5 for your country. It has a good battery life imao. Never been on 4.1.1 so can't tell.

Bro please download "eMMC check" app from play store and then see what is the "chip type" and "FwRev"...
If your chip type is "VTU00M" and FwRev is "0xf1" then u are a victim of SDS issue :S

Victim is when he will have a sudden death.
Currently there is a high probability of vulnerability to sds bug.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

So should I update to 4.1.2 N7100XXDMA6? I don't know if I should because of the bad battery life, problems with microSD cards and some Wi-Fi issues users are reporting.

What about "VTU00M" and FwRev "0xf7"? Is it safe?

Yeah dma6 does have a bad battery try ubdll3 or xxdma5.
I tried all 2.4dll6 2.5ubdll3 2.6dma5 and 2.7dma6 of wanamlite and best was of 2.5 and 2.6
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

ubdll3 won't help, battery is poor either

So I guess it's best for me to stick with 4.1.1 N7100XXALJ1.

I thought Samsung fixed SDS bug in one of the more recent kernels?
If not just root and flash Perseus or one of the other custom kernels that has been patched. No need to man the life boats

Thanks! I want to flash Omega ROM and Perseus kernel. Should I flash the ROM first or the kernel first?

No.
It is highly vulnerable to malware and sudden death syndrome.

I think you're overreacting. The SDS bug happens in 10 phones out of 1000. If I'm that unlucky, so be it.

Yup, too many people going crazy over this.... yet has a single Note 2 owner even suffered SDS yet?
Also, I wouldn't place too much trust in Exynos Abuse app on Play Store. Even on patched kernels it still reports vulnerabilities, or so I hear.

Yep 100s of them.

Various reports of SDS have been reported. Read the forums there are multiple threads regarding sds. And I would advice the op to update to latest ma6. Better safe than sorry.

Stuck on bootscreen

Hello!
So now for a few days my phone has been acting weird. When I wake up in the morning, I see that the phone has restarted under the night and now today, it is kind of dead. First it wouldn't open when pressing homebutton or powerbutton and then I took out the battery and put it in again and then the bootscreen showed twice and after that the phone worked for about 5 minutes to later be frozen again and now it only shows the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" bit before the Samsung logo and won't proceed.
I have rooted my phone and I have Clockwork as recovery and also the mod app2sd to change so my sdcard is the default one. I can access download mode but not recovery.
So I'm hoping for a answer from you guys, how should I "unbrick" it? I still want to keep the stock Samsung ROM. I might agree to add a custom Samsung ROM that only have been bricked because I kinda like the Samsung ROM. But mainly, I want my phone to start!
Regards, DarknessSky

And does that mean I can't fix it myself?
My warranty is still "active" but I have a rooted phone with CWM and the mod "app2sd". I have used Triangle Away to change the flash count to 0 but when I was "inside" the phone and viewed the phone status it said "modified". Will Samsung notice these things or might they just flash a "working" ROM and then send it back?
Thanks in advance!

It's sds. It can't be booted up without replacing motherboard.
If the counter is zero and binary is official then there should be no issues. If they asking you questions related to rooting which they probably wouldn't just act like a complete ass.

When going into download mode I see this

I guess I'm safe due to "custom binary download: no" and "Samsung Official"?

I've got another question that is related to Samsung... When I send my phone in my motherboard then is "broken", right? Do they actually take the time to replace it or do they just send another one? How likely is it that they just send a new one? I've also have a problem with my 3,5mm input because it is too big.

It's safe to. There have been a few reports that say that SDS occurs with the latest ROMs, and it's been confirmed that if the symptoms start before you flash the relevant updates, there's nothing you can do.

There are no symptoms other than sudden death.

same case and ODIN active in download mode
i just need to know what does this mean. i have the same case this guy has.......woke up this morning and phone was on first splash screen and not responding nor allowing recovery mode.
i never rooted it and to my surprize when i enter the download mode i find ODIN!!!
so does this still mean it's an SDS with the motherboard thingi? or can i just flash my first custom rom and get thru the day easily? please advise!

GPS fix

I found this through a post on Google plus and wanted to share it, make sure to thank the original ok mal posters in other thread if it helps. Tested on my I747 and it worked wonders. I just wanted to share the knowledge for those not wanting to jump through to many hoops.

Can be fixed by a simple EFS restore I believe. Did you not do a backup of it in the first place?

Everything I've read had involved going back to stock to get it to reset. I didn't even think GPS had anything to do with efs I thought that was just the imei and other info related to it. Plus this is still simpler doesn't even need a pc or any other apps just access to the stock dialer and a minute or two.

No it's not the same instructions at all. The one in the stickies factory resets the phone. I used it to fix my gps about a month ago after flashing Liquid Smooth broke mine. They both do seem to work pretty well.

The reason this fix isn't in my stickie thread is because it temporarily fixes the problem. Too many users reported it was amazing one day and then the next its gone.

That sounds more like a hardware issue. My problem was that it would do nothing when the GPS was on in maps or anything else. No icon no nothing. After doing this it went back to normal.
