Does your note 2 have a squeaky back?

Mine does, on the left hand side of the plastic back, it squeaks when I press it. That's not so awesome about this phone.

Yup, so much. It drives me crazy, went back to my one x for now.

No sir.

Mine is solid

No squeak here. It would have to be a mighty huge squeak for me to give up multi tasking and go back to the One X. (Never mind multi view)
I found its easier to put the back on if you start with slotting the bottom parts in first. Try putting the back on again.

All is well here on my Marble White version.

The back will creak if you've removed the cover too forcefully and tweaked the little hooks that hold it in place

My back clicks - especially when I press the Home button... drives me nuts.

Mine currently does atm, but it didn't start off that way, it was fine when I first got it, but after a number of battery pulls and constantly taking the back off enough times it has changed to being like that. This happened on my S3 as well, but I simply bought a new back cover and problem went away. The new one on my S3 hasn't changed to being like that and I've pulled it off many times as well, might just be a minor manufacturing defect thing (I noticed the tiny clips on the backing that click into our phones are small and sometimes look a little warped from being mass produced), You can order replacement backings, as well as different custom colors off ebay, or just the official OEM ones from Samsung. My carrier's store sells replacement S3 backings so once they get replacement Note II backings in ill just get a new one to stop that from happening, they are cheap so no biggie.

I just ordered a metal back for $6.75 at ebay. Hopefully it will be good . The stock plastic back is way too thin, don't know why Sammy was so cheap on its flagship.

Yep I have a squeaky back too but it doesn't bother me that much as I am getting a case soon. In other words no big deal
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app

Well I solve the problem by sticking some paper into the inside of the back where the squeaky sound comes from.

for those buying aftermakret backs off Ebay be warned that most don't have the NFC chip in them. The OEM battery cover has it (2 gold contacts upper third of the case).

Mine squeaks around the volume rocker. Grey phone. Havent checked my wife's which is white.

Cases with magnets

Hi I ordered a case online for my note 10.1 and after a bit of googling I saw that some had problems after using their case with a magnetic fastener that areas of the screen the s pen wouldn't respond to.
Just want to know if this is true and will my new note be safe if I use this case or should I change it for one without a magnet?
Think I'll remove the magnets and add a button or strap just to be safe
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda premium

I have the official Samsung case for the note 10.1. It has magnets in it. Never had any problems, bought the case day 1 with the Note. Doubt Samsung would put magnets in the official case if they messed with the screen, just a thought.

No I got a case from Ebay and it has magnets I had the same doubt but it does not effect the device in anyway the SPEN is not affected in even the minutes way. The magnet are very low powered onces anyways

I did some searching and found that people with the original note phone had problems with the middle of the phone not recognizing the pen http://www.esphoneblog.com/2012/01/28/problem-with-samsung-galaxy-notes-s-pen/ and

I found more like this with problems with magnets on cases can't be just a coincidence.

Going to remove mine just to be sure when and if my case eventually gets here from amazon
If you take yours out eventually your note will go back to normal.

Has anyone had any success with onex screen repair?

I dropped my onex and managed to break the screen. I replaced it with a galaxy note 2 but I still love the onex and would like to salvage it for use with my second line.
Has anyone had any success with having the the onex screen repaired?

I dropped mine too and replaced the screen myself. If you have a little experience you won't find it difficult. Btw you can watch many how to videos on YouTube and find fairly cheap genuine replacements on eBay.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I never did it myself, there are several guides on YouTube but I think the most crucial step is ordering the right part ie screen+digitizer already put together and not one of those parts seperately.
most likely only your digitizer is broken, not the screen itself but it is rely hard to place a new digitizer yourself, a big chance of misalignment or capturing air or dust

I have ordered mine from ebay screen+digitizer together, i tryed first to detach the digitizer but i broke the lcd its almost imposible to do so...believe me im quite skillfull with electronics.

Replaced two broken touches + lcds in my service. No problems, but this is my work

I replaced the screened on my atrix with a so called genuine one from eBay but it scratched right up in a few days so I'm guessing it wasn't quite as genuine gorilla glass as the original.

Cases

I have the battery cover that has the flap that covers the front of the phone and was wondering if there's a case to go over the battery cover part to protect the back of the phone.

I think he meant 'and doesn't interfere with the hinge or cover'.
Which one of the products on the page do you think might work?

You are correct sir!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium

Was looking for the same solution myself.... Haven't found it yet, either....
Maybe taking a clear TPU case and trimming it so there's still some corner protection on the hinge side....

My bad thought you wanted a case that covers the back and has a flap.

It could be done with an original samsung case, but you need to cut the left side to accomodate the flip. This ahs been done with the Note 2...

Tragic Accident! My fiance dropped her HTC One

Ok so me and my fiance went on a road trip to visit my family for New Years. She accidentally dropped it when getting out if the car. It hit on the bottom right corner and dented it forcing the bottom plate up. I was gonna try to fix it DIY style like I fix everything but I want a few second opinions... I was gonna use a press or something to press it back down. Lol any other ideas?

Well...personally I would heat that one up and remove it to be replaced by a new grill. Google the part and also check out a couple teardowns. You might be able to reshape that white plastic once the grill is off too. Good thing she didn't get the glass !
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

I would take a look at a teardown guide. See if you can get a busted htc one on ebay to replace the back part or just try and bend the section that is bent.
There are some tear down guides on iFixit and also on youtube. Would post links but I don't think that is allowed.

the same exact thing happened to me. Dropped the phone, dented the upper right hand corner. What i did was buy one of those invisible body shield cases and put it on.

I've taken apart a fair number of phones,etc, but after seeing how almost impossible this thing looks to dismantle? Nope. I'll just pay the deductible.

Yeah it looks like a mess. I even watched a video and I would never even attempt to do that, way too scary.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2

I'm pretty sure you can't take a one apart without causing damage to the metal. It requires a special tool that only HTC has as far as I know.

The one got a 1 out of 10 for fixability on some blog Lol I know not to take it apart since it's mostly glued together.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It's not glued. Just press fit. It has a series of tension clips on the inside and separating them is near impossible without causing damage.

Actually I think it's both. Every teardown guide I've seen mentions having to heat up the phone to soften the adhesive. Here is someone on XDA that braved a teardown before sending the phone back for replacement anyway:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353895

I saw one where the dude pulled it apart without heat, and showed there was no adhesive at all. Someone said something in the comments about how it'd be easier to use heat, and apparently this guy had done it both ways and the only difference is that using heat makes it hot as balls and hard to handle.
