muffled sound? Look what I found on the speaker - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought my Note II the same day it launched, so about 2 years already with it. Today I decided to clean it thoroughly and, following the instructions at iFixit, dissasembled the back frame.
I found something I've never seen in all my years of opening electronic gadgets, an amazing amount of iron filings had build up on the speaker, under the grille.

thats weird ,, but having to open the phone to do that is the main trouble of this thing

Maybe it's not necessary to open it.
Guess you could try with a magnet over the grille.

Phantom Skinz

So I purchased these about 3 weeks ago and have been happy about it so far.
Purchased FULL BODY KIT
http://phantomskinz.com/htcevo4g.aspx
Look:
Overall not noticeable. On the sides you can see lines where the 3 side body kit pieces meet. I had to trim them down a bit to make them fit. I think i may have stretched them a little.
At first I had a few air bubbles over the last 3 weeks they have all seemed to go away.
However I can still see slight remnants of whatever adhesive keeps it in place I do see less but I guess in time ill know whether it will go away entirely. I can only see it on the screen when it is off.
Feel:
Feels fine no rubbery feel which is what i was attempting to stay away from.
Overall Impression:
I like it so far and was shipped 2 kits so on a 2nd attempt i know I can do a lot better. Also to note you can replay current skin as often as you want or so they claim have not tried it yet.
some pics:

I used it! I think it very great Acessories!
I smell spam.
Yep, definitely smells like spam around here.
You are kidding, right?
There is ONE reason to use a mobile phone as a camera, and that is ... its small, and you always have it with you. No matter how good the camera in the phone is, its not as good as a real camera.
Carrying arount that gigantic piece of equipment totally screws up the idea of mobility. And every photograph that wants to make high quality photos with a zoom lens will buy a real camera for that reason anyway.
Its like buying an electric car, and because of its limited range, installing a fuel engine and a tank.

Yep, and a realy amateurish one. Posting 3 minutes apart, posters from the same country, both new members. Spammers arent what they used to be anymore.

Most awsome screen protector

I just tried one of these this was the easiest most pronominal protector I have used it was very easy to install no alignment issues no air bubbles at all the only advice i would offer is make sure you run the roller in one even pass so you don't get any lines in the screen but if you do the lines go away in a day or 2.

Looks cool but wow $25 on ebay
i bought mine on ebay only took like 3 or 4 days to get it http://www.ebay.com/itm/PURETEK-ROL...068728?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43b1feb5b8
If the kit is reusable then that's the only thing I can see to justify this high of a price, if I were to need a new protector(on the same phone) but decided to purchase from say Skinomi for example would I be able to place it in the box and apply it in the way as the kit does?
Side note:it just infuriates me how nearly all companies have to use iPhones as their tutorial phones all the time it seems very biased(I think that's the right word there)

I don't think "pronominal" means what you think it means.

Crack in bottom headphone jack!

Today I noticed that my phone has a crack that goes across the bottom and crosses the mic hole. No drops no cuts. I taken care of this phone and this is what I get. The cut even goes and crosses the silver band. It's awkward. I wonder if tmobile will trade it for a newer one. Makes no sense. The note 3 or iPhone lasted longer without any types of normal wear cracks.

Its probably just a bad picture but the bottom of your phone looked like it was dropped.

kinda see what you mean where the crack is looks like scuff marks
Just noticed as well today mine has THE same crack through the mic on bottom of phone and also on top of phone through infrared sensor. It's a known and not isolated problem among many G3 owners across the globe. Google it.
No scuffs. Just the way it came out. This really sucks.

Google Support says its normal.
The gap shown in the picture shouldn't be there.
Best Joke ever: Google Support says its normal.
I agree, that gap should not be there. Not on mine. Call them back, tell them you went to Best buy or a VZ store to compare and you have this big gap that they don't.
You said you just got it, return it to where you bought it so you don't get stuck with a refurbished from Google..... assuming you bought it new.
Reading the chat history in the picture, the employee might think of the speaker cutout. You could try to highlight the gap in some color.
This slot is normal, try gently using a clean soft bristle toothbrush to sweep it out. That's what I do. Works great for the speaker grills and charging port as well!
You are right but this was the Beginning of the Chat. They know now what i mean but says the Photos are not enough and want a Video or more Photos.
