Note 2 problem - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I have a note 2 in my hands with writed knox and i cant send it to fix it in Samsung Service.
The first problem is with signal. No signal at all, maybe works for 30 sec and after that, dead again. I change modem, change rom, but the problem not fix.
Second problem is, when the screen "sleep" when i put the power button or the hard button, dont wake up, but sometimes the phone is on behind "sleep" screen, and other times, restart.
With some custom rom like slimkat or cm11 the problem with screen fixed, but the signal maybe works for a while and after some sec, on min, "no signal". I tried official 4.4.2 rom but the phone stuck in first setup. Can i fix it with software or is damage in the motherboard?
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks

[Q] Phone module off, touchscreen freezing, help!

Hy,
I have a big problem out of nowhere. The phone worked ok for more than y6 mths, while i haven't change the ROM. I found it blocked, not answering to any command, touchscreen or button. Soft reset it (red back-button) and it started but phone module was off, airplane mode on. I tried several times to switch them (phone, on, or airplane off) but unsuccessfull. Morover the touch screen is not getting any command but still the buttons work (phome, home, volume, midbutton). I hardSPL (OlixNet) and then installed a fresh rom (energy). the phone problem persists toghether with the screen problem which is appearing even immediatelly after starting up, or after 10 mins, varies. I also tried to disable the Sense, but same result.
ANother thing i have observed is that the battery drains very fast and the back low part of the device is getting warm after trying to use and few restarts..
I will try to give it an HTC rom to see if something's changeing.
Any of you had such issues with it? what should i do?
Thanks guys,

I could be also a cracked touchscreen in an early stage with a small crack, which happened to me.
Good luck!
Guys,
i too have the same screen problem,i tried changing various rom's still the problem persists.After new rom installation screen calibration needs to b done a number of times to finally start the mobile with home screen.
And then problem appears immediatelly after starting up, or after 10 mins. Touch doesn't respond correctly to my command instead it reads some other commands and finally gets stuck while other harware keeps working perfectly.
so, anybody could short out dis problem.......it seem to b a common problem to many people who keep changing there rom's frequently

[Q] Freezing Lockscreen After Pushing Power Button (Wake Up)

Hello and good day all,
I just buy my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) for 3 days now.
Straight to the point, I'm having this weird problem where I didn't experience it on my previous Samsung Galaxy Note.
The problem is, my screen freeze whenever I open the phone. (Pressing Home button and then you should either put password or swipe)
The screen doesn't respond to my touch.
I have to Lock it again (Power Button), and Unlock it (Home Button) and then it works like usual.
Another thing is, when I'm on the freeze state, my S-Pen can be use but touch of the screen with fingertips doesn't work at all.
And the Freeze Screen only occur when I let the phone for a moment (Going Locked, Black Screen, more than 5 sec)
By the way, the screen also Freeze whenever there's a call. I cant Swipe the button to answer the call.
Already try this few step but the problem still occur.
1. Restart Phone.
2. Factory Reset.
3. Turning Off Wifi Mode Saver (*#0011#)
4. Turning Off S-Voice.
5. Changing Lock Screen Option (Swipe, Pattern)
6. Removing some of App (Facebook, Instagram)
I think the problem occur since I'm upgrading the Firmware to the latest one via Kies.
Is there anyway to fix this problem?
Seeking for your advice sir.
Anyone?
I also try to clear cache partition at recovery mode.
Still no luck.
Ugh, this is really getting frustrating.
Last night I alrdy reflash my old stock rom with Odin v3.04.
Still, the problem occur.
Read someone post, mentioning that screen protector is disturbing the sensor, yet alrdy remove the screen protector but the problem still persist.
And doing some test, SensorHub Test (#*0*#) and fail.
Alrdy include as a attachment.
Can someone just tell me this is factory faulty so I can claim the warranty......
What's the problem.....
Did you find a fix for this? I'm getting a very similar issue, though with mine when it's locked it won't respond to anything and have to do a battery pull
Nooe. Didn't find any. Already try all solution that I cant find. I think it's a hardware faulty.
Just now I go to the retailer and a good news is I get a 1 to 1 exchange with a new device since the retailer itself didn't found a solution for it.
And my suggestion is bring your device to the retailer where you buy it. Hope they can figure something out.

[noob inside] - Screen unlocking problem, faulty device or android bug ?

Hey there guys , I've been searching through the forum topics about my issue but so far I've found nothing close to my scenario.
A few months ago I bought my first HTC phone (M8). Its a great device for sure , despite the fact that I had to return it back twice.
First time it was a faulty microphone , so they sent me back a brand new device. Great isn't it ?
However recently I've noticed a few .... let me call them 'glitches' .
Let me give you some details on what I've experienced with the device:
Despite the issues that i'm going through ... the phone works great, but...
Sometimes the screen wont turn on when I'm receiving incoming calls (same goes for the alarm clock) but the phone is able to recognize touches - i've managed to pick up the call when I swiped the screen in the area where the "green" answer button appears .
The above issue doesnt happen so often but the thing that bothers me is the unlocking issue.
At first I thought that it was stuck or faulty power button.
When the phone is idle for some time and I pick it up and press the unlock button ... nothing seems to happen I've tried pressing it hard ... i've tried pressing it gently ... i've tried pressing it multiple times until the screen wakes up .
Same goes for motion launch unlocking .
When I use motion launch to unlock it the phone only gives me a vibration feedback ... and thats it until I try harder to bring the screen back to ''life'' .
(I can also press my security pattern buttons while the screen is dead and feel the phone vibrating , BUT NOT ALWAYS , sometimes is just .. dead )
I already sent the phone back describing the same problems and they just flashed the firmware , which did not fix any of the issues.
Stock Rom android 5.0.1 , not rooted
Soo what do you guys think? What can I do next .. is it android bug or a faulty unit ?
is it possible to be a sensor problem (proximity , accelerometer)
Already tried factory reset and dalvik cache wipe.
Any advice would be useful.
Thanks for taking your time .
Cheerz
I have the same issue. There are times it takes me hitting the power button 20 times for it to finally light up but I can press buttons with it black. The weird thing is it does it on every single ROM but I havent noticed it on Stock...maybe I'm not using stock enough to see. I'll probably throw stock on there today and take it into sprint and let them replace it.
I have the same problem whether it's on stock or custom ROM (KK or L). I am pretty sure this is a hardware problem. Unfortunately, my m8 is out of warranty so HTC won't fix it for free. I read it some where that it could be a faulty proximity switch so shining a light beam to the top part of the phone may wake up the screen. I haven't tried it yet because every time it happens, I don't have a flash light handy. It is an annoying problem to say the least.
When this happens, I pushed the power button, the volume up button, and swiping the screens. Eventually the screen would wake up and every thing works fine... until the next time.
Its a ****ing pain in the ass.
however none of the sensor reading apps report a faulty/stuck sensor.
the wors thing... I've already sent my phone for repair, describing the problems in details. .. and it took them a whole f*cking month to bring it back to me with no results.
I don't think they will replace it because its a problem that takes time to be experienced...and no one is going to wait for it to happen. ...
Any other ideas?
Should I wait for android 6.0 or should I try a custom rom too see if these problems presist.
Fml I love the phone but this is frustrating.
I have the same problem I think. I just bought an M8 on Ebay. I am S-off, unlocked and rooted, using the Viper Rom currently. I have also tried AICP, the stock Tmobile Rom and a few others. Same issue.
If I double tap, I feel the screen vibrate, but nothing comes on. Then, I keep pushing power button a few times. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes I am too impatient to wait, so I just hold power and volume up.
I also know that the phone internals come on, because after that vibration, I swipe up and push the screen a few times. Then, when I am fiddling with the power button and it does come on, I do see that there is an app already on the screen.
I think this is a rare issue, as I haven't even been able to find many posts regarding this. I may have to get a new one if this keeps going on so bad.

I am experiencing the exact same issue with my M8. I have seen a lot of people stating it may be a hardware fault related to heat and internals but something about how it reacts seems software related.
I really hope someone who has fixed or uncovered the reason comes forward. At this rate I may be switching back to a S4 LTE-A.

I think it IS hardware related. I was able to return that one and got another M8. No problems at all.

Touch no responsive after call

HI, guys. You my only hope. 6 month ago a replaced my screen with screen from Ali. Sometimes I have problem, that after call touchscreen became unresponsive screen is working . Reboot with pwr + volume up do the job. I do some research. Proximity sensor is OK, even with disabled touch, thanks OTG cable.
Problem is unstable. O can't repeat it. Happens Suddenly.
This problem is rom independent. But I used only stock, and now on stock based custom
Locked bootloader

i have the exact same problem with you and i think is screen related.
i ll perform the proximity sensor check and if it is not the source of the problem,i ll take off my screen,give a cleaning at the connections and put it back on, to notice it s behaviour.
hope i won t break my screen cause it happened before:fingers-crossed:
my screen has started un gluing from the left side of the display and screen is lifted upwards ,i just mention this for the possibility of causing a problem with those freezes during incoming calls,but i can t think of anything.
probably i need to order a new display(not from the same seller of course) cause it is a little dim too,if it s not fixed after trying those i really don t know what i will do with my phone,it really gives in my nerves with this problem(otherwise i m very satisfied of owning it).
i ll come back reporting after making my tests...
EDITroximity sensor check OK,no problem.
cleaned the connections of my screen and i have only 1 freeze after 40 calls,but is still there and is only a day that passed..
i can t target if my problem is hardware or software,i ll flash stock lollipop with flashtool and wait for some days,but if it appears again what should be my next step?
any ideas welcomed..
EDIT 2:after five days on stock 5.1,problem seems to dissapeared,so i supposed it is related to an app...
EDIT3:till now everything is OK.

Note 2 keeps restarting everytime!

Hi guys. A relative asked me if i can repair his note 2. I think his network was locked and the phone keeps restarting everytime. I flashed a new firmware on the phone. The one I use on mine..XXUFNG1, and also I went into recovery and clear data and cache after flashing. But still the phone keeps rebooting everytime. Why is that and how can I fix this?
Note : It's not bootloop or anything. You can switch on the phone, use it for like 5mins and then it freezes and restarts itself. And it goes on like that. Sometimes it doesn't restart also and you can use for more. But most of the time after 5mins, it restarts.

Everything stock..like I said! Before flashing to the newest rom too, everything was stock.
Was the phone dropped or exposed to moisture? Possible battery problem? Reboots even when connected to a charger?

Hi..thanks for reply. I tried another battery in it. The one I use myself. But it still restarts. I don't know if the phone was dropped or anything though. The relative just told me that it needs to be unlocked. Do you think it's software related? Or something is damaged in the phone?
Since it is running a stock ROM and still behaves this way after a factory reset, I think there is a hardware problem.
I might have a similar problem. I copy from another thread:
Hey guys,
I like this rom so far. But since 2 weeks I got an issue.
My phone randomly turns off, atleast I guess that's what happens. Sometimes the "notify" LED is on permanently but the display won't go on. To start the phone again I have to put out the battery and put it back in.
My battery is randomly empty pretty fast even if I just let the phone turned off. This happens like every 5 minutes.
I already bought a new battery but the problem hasn't changed.
What to do now? :>

I like the phone. It's over 5 years old and runs like the first day. Except it DOESN'T wake up anymore after a short time when the screen is off. I can press the power/home button as many times as I want and wait for 5 minutes, screen will still be off. Only way to "wake" it up again is to put the battery out and in again.
Currently I don't have enough money to buy a new phone and I can get a new motherboard for 25$. But I'm not sure if this will fix my problem.
I'm not even sure if this is the ROMs problem since it worked with all earlier versions of this rom perfectly and even the latest release worked for weeks/months.

As long as I leave the screen turned on the display/phone won't go off and I can use it as always. Even the battery don't drop drastically then.
It might be exposed to moisture tho. When I take a hot shower I'll leave it on the window sill and the room gets steamy.
ROM: [7.1.2 r24] LineageOS for N7100 [Unofficial] - Version from 08.10.2017
GAPPS: Open Gapps ARM 7.1 Aroma - 03.05.2017
Baseband: N7100XXUFND3
Ril and other stuff I don't know where to check.
Some years ago I had the SDS and the motherboard was changed without the EMMC bug.
Sometimes my phone only charges in slow mode too.
I try a clean install and newer pico gapps now. Maybe it will solve the problem. I'll reply then if it worked or not.
[EDIT]
Since my phone was low on battery I turned it off completly and put it on the charger. After an hour or so I wanted to look after it.
The green charging light stays on and if I want to turn the phone on nothing happens. The light stays on even after removing the charger.
Seems like a hardware, not a rom problem? Will changing the motherboard fix this?
[EDIT 2]
Quick update. I fully wiped/factory resetted and clean installed newest version of this ROM + newest mini pico GApps. Still the same problem. Gonna try it with another ROM/kernel now and if the problem persists it's a hardware fault.
[EDIT 3]
Fully wiped again and changed ROM+Kernel. Still the same problem.
