EK02 Bug Thread

Well no one has made one yet, so I'll do the honors.
I have seen a decrease is signal strength, but I have noticed better data speeds. I never had the LoS issue before, so I can't tell if this fixed it or not.
Source for EK02 still hasn't been released yet...
Also just a heads up Sprint updated Swype to the latest version in this update as well.

Sound bug is still there. I can't comment on LOS until I am running the new radio (currently on EG31).

What is the "Sound Bug?" And I also noticed that Samsung added arrows to the lockscreen.

Bug where some games and most emulators will randomly crash, usually within minutes.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17623
This only seems to be an issue with the ET4g. Besides that I haven't noticed any other issues.

Can someone please test the headset control for music?

I was wondering the same thing until someone posted a link yesterday. Is it isolated to games because I thought the sound bug was how loud it got from 1 step below max to full volume. Lol

I tested with two headsets.
My Samsung earbuds (came with Moment) don't have any control.
My Klipsch (S2m) earbuds have two controls. Short press opens contacts, while long press opens Voice Talk.
I haven't tested it to answer or end calls.
Running stock EK02

No. I tried with the Samsung (stock) music app and the Google Music app. No luck. Screen is turned on if off, but nothing is changed.
ATM, the headphone button doesn't have any control over music.

Does anyone else have a problem when opening the app drawer, zooming out, then selecting a page only to bring you back to the home screen?

Yeah that's new. They removed the checkboarding from the browser and the "bounce." Thank the Apple likeness lawsuits ... Same stuff that was in the euro sgs2 updates.

I have this bug also. My lockscreen seems to have disappeared as well, but only on a critically low battery. Not sure if that is behavior or not since I have only had the phone for a day.

For your lockscreen go to Location & Security and set your lock period to immediately

I don't have an option to set the lock period. I'm on the stock ROM and unrooted.
The EK02 update has seemed to fix the touchscreen acting crazy while charging, but I'm not entirely sure about it.

this is NOT a bug, but do not want to start a new thread.

Seems more of a hardware issue than software to me. Did you try a pair of headphones that you know works?

Is your phone docked when you do this?

All the headphones I have tried work
And my phone is not docked when trying to play. I did read that there were problems when connected to blue tooth and aux at the same time

So far everything I have tried to plug into works so I'm guessing it could be something with my car.
Anyone else have a saab 93 and an s3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

I've had my S3 since 7/1 and never had any issues. My friend just got an S3 as well and he's got a 2009 93 Aero and he has the exact same issue. We tested with multiple cables and both of our phones, they both exhibit the exact same behaviour. We've yet to figure out what causes this though. It's definitely something with the GM radio in the car as it does not happen like this anywhere else. you're not alone but dont have any answer for you.

Well at least it's not a problem with my phone I guess.
Have you tried on any of other roms, or just stock?
If you find a way around this let me know/ill do the same

Do elaborate. What's odd? What's the source of the sound? Speaker? Or simply the vibration unit?

A buzzing sound. Coming from the vibrating unit itself.

I find the vibration unit of my gnex rather strong. I use a custom kernel that allows one to turn it down a notch. Could help with your buzzing sound perhaps.

Its quite annoying as I got caught in class with my phone because of it lol first day of senior year too xDxD

You have to get a custom kernel and turn the strength down. I use fancy kernel and trickster mod app

Part of the screen not responding to s pen

Got the note 2 a week ago and just noticed the s pen is not working on part of the screen while I was playing with it in s note. Very strange. Any thoughts?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

part of the screen is lower right of screen, like a 3 mm triangle? then it's normal.

I searched online and the problem is identified. Its the magnitic flip case that distorted the area directly above it. Is this going to have a long term damage to the s pen function?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Thank you that I saw your post and isolated the problem. yes it was the magnetic buttons that was causing the screen to behave improperly at one particular location. I have removed the magnets and now its ok.
Thanks again !!

Headphone audio issues

When I plug my headphone in, audio is not being routed through it; it just plays through the phone's speaker. I've tried loading up backups where the audio was working to no avail; I think this is a hardware issue but wanted to make sure. Anyone else expeirence this?

Never had the issue, Odin to stock to make sure, or try different headphone.,then if the issue persists then it's hardware

Interesting. When I use soundabout, I can manually force audio to be played through the headphone, and it works. Removing the headphones results in no audio unless I change the setting in soundabout.

Sometimes, there can be something stuck inside the headphone jack. Does your headphone go in all the way? You might want to to clean the contacts for the input.

It goes in all the way. Sometimes, applying a lot of pressure will cause the headphone to be recognized, but relieving the pressure makes it revert, making me think it is a hardware issue.

When I was a" tech" at verizon. We would put in/ pull out the headphone jack repeatedly(quickly) reboot. Majority of the time it worked. Hope that helps

Sounds like a hardware issue. Wouldn't hurt to buy a new headphone port. Parts for the N2 are fairly cheap and easy to replace

True, but it is the installation I am worried about. I DO have a warranty on it...
It looks like it works if I lay the phone flat and jiggle the cord a bit. I may be able to live with that.

If you have warranty, I'd most definitely get it fixed. I use my headphones almost daily so I would have gotten in fixed in a heartbeat

Tried with five different headsets already.

I took a toothpick and a wire tie to clean it out. No dirt emerged. What else would you recommend to clean the prongs?
