[Q] Very Strange Problems - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Strange problem:
I'm on 4.3 ML3, Note 3 MOD v3.5, and on Devil kernel latest version.
I noticed that when my note 2 is being charged while it's turned OFF, after 5 minutes of being turned off it will automatically turn on again!! ONLY when its charging.
Strange Problem 2:
Sudden restarts.. Not random restarts while its locked or anything, it restarted a couple of times while im just playing with it!
STRANGEST PROBLEM OF ALL:
I was messing around with my note 2, then I was in app drawer.. I tapped on Settings app, and the screen had about 10 horizontal a bit thick Black lines covering the screen, and they grew bigger and bigger until the screen was totally black!! This only happened once, and a restart fixed it.. What would you like to say about this?

The first two problems can be taken as a bad ROM or mod. The third is the graphics driver crashing, most likely.

Strange slowdown and freeze

Hey all got my gn gsm from mobicity au about two weeks and today I had something strange happen.
I was at work got a SMS the phone started to make a tone but very slowly and it repeated it ( which is strange) then I put in my pin and unlocked my phone to find that its lagging like crazy, home screens are sticking and freezing . So I reboot, once rebooted the phone tells me that the ics launcher has stopped working, and its still lagging can't open settings.
So once again I restart and take out battery this time all is well, battery went down 10% at that tine also.
I'm on 4.0.1 Google build all stock.
Any one else have this issue?

Occasional Hanging

I am facing with occasional freezing and hanging of phone.
1: it usually happens when I've checked a series of apps and on a messenger or crome
2. Sometimes after restart the phone comes back but it looks as If the graphic card failed to load. The icons are not rounded the colours are off. Then after a shutdown n restart it seems to be normal.
Has anyone faced this problem?

Getting a replacement on Monday. Tried factory reset and still freezes. The good thing that it happened while at t-mo store.

Strange screen behaviour

Hi all.
I have p-601 which is rooted and I am using Nova Launcher. It works fine except of some lag from time to time.
I use the S-pen for everything and with all applications.
Recently I started to notice strange bizarre behavior of the screen with the S-Pen when I capture a screen shot with the S-Pen (Screen Write) some pictures specially with the png format. The screen flashes and displays a horizontal lines then the screen turns off. Then I close everything and reboot the tab and try again to screen write and so on.
This happens from time to time not with every screen write.
Any recommendations or advice?
Best Regards.
I'd do a hard reset in recovery if it bothers you that bad. And if you have any mods running try it with out those installed a few times and do some testing to see what is causing the issue. But start fresh, stock and if it still happens its your device. Either return it, if u can't return it sell it, or just deal with it and wait for an update.

Major lag issues after system crash, barely usable

I have major lag issues when pressing the phone screen (the screen turns on sometimes 5 to 10 seconds after pressing the lock or home button), and the UI is very laggy at all times, apps like the keyboard sometimes take about 5-8 to load, and the gallery app takes sometimes as long as a minute to load.
The reason for the problem:
The problem started when I was trying to up a pic on instagram and then I opened the gallery to choose a picture, the phone lagged, thought this was something usual, waited for 1-2 mins, but the gallery app didn't load at all, the screen was black so I said what the heck, maybe a random hang, just tried to restard - phone did not respond so I removed the battery and after that the phone had major lag issues, before that I did not have any problem at all. This happened on stock android 4.2.2...
Here is what I did
I flashed stock 4.2.2, did everything as usual. wiped data after flashing and the phone was still laggy as f, I reverted to 4.1.2 which was smooth as butter and it lagged also... Now I flashed 4.2.2 a couple of times and the problem still persists. Thinking of getting it checked at the customer care centre, but before this happens I'd like to try to fix it on my own.
Any ideas, anyone ?

Tried it, lag still persists, this could be a hardware problem, as I mentiooned above the big lag issues started after the crash / black screen lag happened, so I am assuming something could have went wrong in the hardware part of the phone,softwarewise there should not be any lag, because Ive triet 4.1.2 and its completely lagless, now it lags like a mofo.
Thinking of brnging it to the customer care service, good thing the phone is still in warranty.
Dunno about the blackscreen but try using LagFix (it's on GPlay).
That app helped to me solve hanging issue I had.

[Q] (Q) Screen Brightess

Hi All
I have a Screen Brightness issue with Note 2 - I did search the forums and Google (for several months now) and have not found a solution.
When I bought it, it was very good. Now the screen is very dark even on MAX brightness. It's not unusable, but compared to "NEW" note 2 or note 3 it's super dark.
I put it side by side with LG G2, and the difference is 3 times (visually).
I tried the app, i tried different roms (stock and AOSP based) nothing seems to work.
PS - I had same problem with two original Note 1 phones.
Is it the samsung screen tech that gets dark after 6 month or just my phone? What can I do to fix this?
PS2 - every now and then, when I reboot the phone, it gets to NORMAL brightness for a split second and then goes dim again. So I know it can be normal!
UPDATE: So I tried to change BUILD.PROP settings - added "ro.lcd_brightness" with 340 setting and increased "ro.lcd_min_brightness" to 175
When phone reboots it gets brighter for 15-30 seconds .. then dims again.
Running latest OMNI ROM nightly now.
Thanks, Leo.
Having somewhat of the same issue.
I looked into it. Samsung uses LED whereas lg g2 is LCD.
I'm getting the G2 soon.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
