What kind of puter? You got the right samsung drivers?

I tried on my laptop (Mac) and desktop (windows) and yes they have the right drivers
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Well your mac laptop won't need drivers. If it's plugged in and your phone has the settings box checked for "MTP" then it'll be recognized. Did you download Android File Transfer? You'll need it to transfer files.

Is USB debugging checked? If so, uncheck it and try to install the drivers again. If you can't, shoot me your Gmail and I'll help you through G Talk.

Custom kernel? Make sure USB fast charge is off.

Ok! I tried the new cable that came with the replacement and it works just fine... its weird that the cable I have is not working anymore..

"Made in Korea" means it was manufactured by Samsung directly and not outsourced to some factory in China.
If you're unhappy with the signal drops you can try to get another replacement, or look at the threads here on signal drops for solutions

Yeah! I'm looking for ways to fix it.. but the one I had was made in china and was brilliant no drops nor anything. I curse the day I dropped and cracked the screen.. do you think I can just go to the Verizon store and ask them for a replacement

If you're within the return period, they will replace your device no questions asked. If you're over it, it would depend on the store you go to but more likely than not you have a good chance.
Just make sure you're stock and not rooted

I called yesterday and after a couple of minutes well an hour to be exactly they're going to send me a new device. That's what she said. But since today is 4th of July the phone should be here by tomorrow..

Well I brought my galaxy nexus from the crapper

Crazy story but my nexus started having this crazy charging issue which spread into a USB issue no matter the computer they would all say could not recognize This device ..I thought my phone was through because it was the international version therefore I'd have to get in contact with another country to get this resolved *sidenote I tried mobile Odin and made my phone sort of unusable for a while * ..after much debate I figured I could fix this myself ..scouring the internet seeing tons of people with the same problem I decided to repair this because it was not software and it was not gunk inside the port ..so I ordered the part and saw how relatively easy it was to repair it was ridiculously simple and here I was going to pay someone to fix it lol...thanks google and Samsung for simplicity..that being said ill fix other peoples problem if anyone has it hit me up anytime

[Q] at&t galaxy note 2 charging & usb conncection problems

well i tried to use n7105 pit file on my i317 but unfortunately it failed the process and since then my mobile troubles me a lot to charge and my mobile is not recognized by my pc whatsoever.. but the thing is if i connect my mobile in downloading mode with odin, it works perfectly.. even when it gets charging from pc, pc does not recognize it even though i have installed kies and samsung drivers.. is there anyway to find the solution please?

Sounds like you need a new charging port
Usually caused by plugging in a slightly wet usb cord.
Or the female end (your phone) is dirty andbor corroded.
Theyre not expensive to fix.

I would have agreed with you completely if my phone was making same troubles connecting with odin in downloading mode..
It connects in downloading with odin with no problems whatsoever that is what making me think that hardware part should be alright on the other hand it rarely connects in mtp mode with pc for barely 15 seconds and suddenly goes to dock mode.. sometimes nothing pops up.. do you still think it has to be something with charging port only? If it is so I am ready to pay for it...
Thanks for reply btw..

Its my best guess. Without seeing the phone I can only speculate. I replaced mine for around $65. Depending on where you live theres likely a few cell repair shops around

Yes man! You are absolutely right... I went to samsung service centre and that guy said its problems with charging socket so i simply told him to replace it for just 1250 INR which is just over 20 us dollars... Well but he is unsure as i317 is not available in india so his unsurity is new charging socket of n7100 may work or not.. Let me hope it will do the trick and i will get my phone working as good as brand new...
Thanks a ton...

I don't understand, if you bought the phone new then the charging port should be covered under warranty. Just take it back to where you bought it or send it in to sammy for exchange.

Galaxy note 2 - usb charging port defective from new?
Just received a galaxy note BNIB and it appears to have a faulty USB socket on the phone as will only charge intermitently and getting worse after 2 days - now won't charge at all. On its way back to supplier for refund. Question - is this a common problem with these devices?

It was an issue with the Note 1,and I was told by sammy cs that the supplier of the usb socket was changed. But this is the nature of micro usb, they just wear out.

Possible sds

Hello
5 month Note 2 user that had almost no complaints till early april where my phone started lagging, restarting every few hours(it did restart once every 2-3 days since they day i bought it) and touch screen not being responsive. Result was the problem becoming worse and me having to search for it and finding out about SDS. I checked my phone through EMMC and it says my chip is insane... as soon as I saw that I tried backing everything up but as it turned out, it was too late..I've lost all my game data (I've managed to copy a few games but its a few stages back..for example my subway surfers save is like 2-3 months back...), i've lost ALL of my contacts and my smscontact backup says it has no contacts on the backupfile...
regardless, I sent it to the local Samsung retail and they kept it for a week, got it back today, same thing happening...They told me they found humidity + errors on my phone and they had to clear/wipe it out completely. Its been like 3-4 hours since i got it and it already got stuck at a black home screen error + unable to swap applications and once on a non-responsive touch screen. I contacted the Samsung retailer and he told me that it could be an error from my SD card. I highly doubt that, am using a san disk 32gb ultra speed and I only have movies on it actually so...
Now my 'questions'...What can I do? Rooting it can fix it? Or will it void my warranty completely? If I root and it breaks again can I unroot and send it to have it fixed? And if they cant fix it, do they replace my phone with another one? Like a new note 2 or a new samsung phone?
Thanks
Ps: already posted this on sprint forums by mistake and it was suggested to me to try removing my sd card..no difference

well it is what people say "symptoms of the sudden death" so probably and all says that( 5 months, strange behaviour. .) if they dont fix you can talk to them that probably it is SDS if not you'll have to wait until the phone dies or send lots of times (like a guy who said that here in xda) and they probably replace the motherboard. theres nothing at the moment to do if it have been affected by the corrupted data but you can update to the latest firmware which is suposed to have the fix
hope I answered your question

Was the 5 months too late for it to take effect?i already called them and they told me that they know nothing about the SDS.. they said they can only change my phones internal/motherboard (as they said "just the plaque not ur device"
Latest update is 4.1.2? Thats what i have.. they gave me the option of buying another phone..should i? Am afraid of getting another sds affected note

well the problem is that if the phone send some corrupted data to the chip when you were at 4.1.1 there's nothing to do.
The repair centre "doesn't know about it" because if they do know they'll have to asume that problem and they will lose money. The correct procediment is to change de motherboard however sometimes they just put an old one with the insane chip again. If you really want this phone and I assume that you do like it, when they replace and send it back update to 4.1.2 ASAP therefore they usually update before sending back.

They are already losing money when they fix my phone cause of full warranty.. i loved the phone but am disappointed right now and with the possibility of changing phones i dont mind..cause all in all it has its downsides..ie too big to carry, takes a looong time to charge and regardless ive already lost all my data so its already like i got a new phone..
How can i know if they changed my motherboard?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

You should have a new imei if they changed mb i think.
I bought note because of the screen,dont mind using it with both hands thats the price you have to pay if you want that commodity of big display.
And its charging like every phone,maybe a little longer but instead you have great battery life.

Nobody loses money but Samsung. Your local samsung service center is not Samsung company. They are third companies that have an agreement with Samsung to fix samsung phones officially in your country.
They lose money only if they replace a motherboard that is already working or not covered under warranty (user faults).
Once I talked(personally) to one of Samsung services in my country, they said mostly they are not able to understand these new generation smartphones. Most of the time all they do is just replacing motherboards, they said
My suggestion to you, print several sudden death syndrome reported web pages and show them or email them if you can. Samsung is replacing bricked motherboards with no question asked (even rooted ones).

I find it very strange, especially since these issues do not seem related to eMMC commands. Did you ever try using the phone without the sd card to eliminate the possibility?

S3 won't charge and turn on

My friend has an att s3 that doesn't turn on and charge. When I plug it in without the battery the red light comes on. On the other hand when I plug it in the charger with the battery the red light doesn't come on. The phone is in complete stock so not rooted at all. Do you guys think this is a battery issue or something else?
Btw I already googled this for a while and people are saying different things. So I had to post this here on xda.
Thanks in advance for you guys' response.
Update: my friend tried a new battery but didn't work either.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

take it to the carrier's service center. if it has not been rooted at all, there should be no problem. they can see if it's the battery or the device. either way, it'll get taken care of.

I forgot to mention this but she won the phone on a Samsung event so I'm guessing there's no warranty on it. She was using the phone on tmobile btw since it was unlocked but had the att logo on it.

Could be a battery issue too. Try using a different battery.

She said she tried a new battery but still didn't work. I really find it weird that the red led lights up with out the battery but not with it when plugged on the charger.

+1 Try checking with Samsung. Look up on Samsung site. Based on IMEI, they should be able to make out its manufacture date, if not sale date. Plus, its been less than an year since device release date. So you should be covered here.

A short battery or a damaged battery could block the charging and not get the light on. But since using a different battery too didn't help, it might not be the case. Look at battery connectors. Try using air blow on it and check if there any particle shorting them. Try using an alcohol swab and wiping connectors.

I had a feeling that it was the battery until she told me that she already tried changing it. Hopefully Samsung would still take it even without proof of purchase. Otherwise I would have to take our apart myself.
