Hi there,
My note 2 has started playing up since last month. Whenever i go to tunnel it will restart and now it will not even start sometimes. I have upgraded the OS and still the same. Now it has become more worst as the phone will start but the screen will not come on. However if I take out the battery and put it back in sometimes screen will come up and work fine with no issues.
Please tell me what's the issue. I have gone to Samsung and they said there is not water damage but they cant help me as my phone is overseas model and they do not cover international warranty.
Any help would be great..

Ok, so I returned my phone still in DOA period.
My problems were the glitching all over the place, and not just once a day, but it kept on getting worse, youtube, camera, browser, status bar, apps, multitasking, scrolling, keyboard, jumping white line in messages,etc...
Mine also was creaking arround the front camera and part of the corner of the screen there too.
My battery was displayed wrong all the time, so I couldn't see the right %.
Yellow bottom of on the screen.
Games were lagy, Tegra 3 and normal like teeter.
1 dead pixel.
Probably forgetting some problems now.
Somethings will be software, but because I(and most of us) don't know what is software I preffered to send it back before the doa period was over. Also some posters stated htv told them to send it back, witch problems same as mine.
Also if this is software for most of the part, than why isn't everybody getting the problems.
So I made this topic so you can tell what the problem was with your first device, and if you allready had your second (or third, etc) and what improved and what stayed the same... So you can we get a better vision on that.
My first phone arrived yesterday and is getting swapped out by a currier tomorrow for what will then be my second device.
The problems I am having is the jumping/bumping at the bottom of the screen; this is very inconsistant but does happen more often than it doesn't. For instance I was using the phone for 40 mins earlier it was happening, then for 10 mins it wasn't, again it happened for 5/6 mins and then didn't happen for around an hour but again its happening as we speak.
I've also had the problem whereby you can't unlock the device by pulling up the ring, and I have to shut down and startup the phone for this to be fixed. This has only happened twice so far; but again should not happen at all.
Lastly I have had the problem that when you lock the device the screen turns back on, even when you only pressed the lock button once.
I think thats everything... I do believe its software problems more than hardware, however as you have said why isn't this happening to everyone if that's the case. I guess you could look at it that maybe it is but they are either living with it or reporting it direct to where they purchased it from; either way they are not posting it on here. Who knows?
Now I do understand bugs are there in just about every phone and to be honest they are normally bugs you can live with until an update; the problem here is that the bugs are completely preventing the use of the device and/or making the use of the device very difficult. No phone should be released with this being the case.
One thing I do know for sure is that its happening to those who got the phone from a network (mines from Vodafone) and those who got it SIM free; in all areas or the world. This means they (Vodafone, Orange, O2 etc...) have not caused these problems so it eliminates any tweaks/software they may have placed onto the device meaning the problems do entirely lie with HTC to resolve. Lets just hope they do; or more importantly lets just hope its a small number of phones that are affected and that our replacements are okay.
I will let you know tomorrow what the second one is like... (sorry for the long post),
How did u notice a dead pixel
Sent From My HTC sensation (desire with rcmix s )
Phone turning back on after i pressed power button to lock the screen, got that too. But happens at random, so not always.
I saw a very tiny shiny spot when in a complete dark room, on a black background. Dead pixel i suppose.
Im considering getting it online but not sure what to do if i get a dead pixel

Send mine back because one of the 2 yellow spots didn't go away after 10hrs screen on (5 days) and I had some random restarts.
I don't want a faulty device, some devices will keep giving problems while others have no issues from the start.

You would be able to send it back if you bought it online, just like buying it from a shop. They have to give you the same period of support...

Have you had the replacement device; how is that getting on?
Samsung Galaxy S2 won't boot to main menu, and has seizures.?
Hi. I have tmobile samsung galaxy s2. the issue had already been around, but never this bad.Usually, when I would use my phone, it would just randomly reboot on it's own. today out of nowhere . I can't even get to the main home screen or menu. When the battery is inserted, the phone will automatically try to turn on. I'll get the Samsung screen, then the "Samsung Galaxy SII Android 4G T-Mobile screen", then the phone will glitch for a second, black screen, and it'll almost have a seizure from then on. When I say that, pretty much what happens is that the screen will go black, and it'll pulse with vibrations. It'll vibrate, stop for two seconds, vibrate some more, etc. That's all it'll do from there on. It won't try to turn on when I hold the power button, and the vibrations won't stop until I take the battery out. There is no water damage, and there's just normal wear on the phone.
i have had the same exact problem with my first salaxy s2 phone and tmobile exchanged thru warranty. it was a miracle i go tthe warranty thru as the same thing happened that i will explain below.
When I got a new tmobile phone through warranty, on the fifth day, it started to randomly turn on and of at least evry other day .and beep for about a minute till i can turn it on. when I went to tmobile store to point this out, while it was within warranty, they said i wouldnt worry about it it is the nature of your phone. I would do a master reset and it will get rid of problem. did a master reset within a week it started to randomly re boot again as well as beep for a minute till it powers on.
I went to another tmobile store and told them this , they said i would not worry about it, its the nature of your phone. i went to six differennt tmobile stores thats in my city and same thing.
when i called custo,mer care they just told me to go to tmobile store.i did several master resets, problem not gone.
Now my 14 days are up, as well as one year warranty when i first got phone(dont know if u get a new one year after a warranty exchange)My phone has no use now as it just powers on to tmobile screen, basically what i said above.
do i have to pay to get a new phone. Is there someone whom i can file a complaint to.All what the workers in tmobile seem to be doing is texting on their phones, looking happy that they can abuse power. they all look like stereotypical teens who are either clueless, or rude jerks who abuse their powers.
also the headphone jack was very loose when i got the warranty phone, only worked at earphones at a particular angle. when i pointed this out to tmobile store, it was same response as with the other issue i have.
can't do anything about loose jack...
but hopefully your problem is only a software issue...and not a hardware one
if it is only software issue you can fix it
go to android development thread...
look up sticky notes
learn how to root your phone...
learn how to install recovery...
and flash a mod that is stable... like the one I run at the bottom of my post
hope this helped m8
Can you give some more details on the phone? Is it stock unrooted? Stock rooted? Custom ROM?
You have a sticky power button. There are a couple of things you can try to fix it in this thread:

Hi all,
I have a samsung tab 3 device and this is the second time in 6 months that it really struggles to swipe to unlock.
After getting it repaired under warranty last time it was fine but has started doing it again. It is very frustrating, especially because I'm a low user.
I've tried turning off device and this does not seem to solve the issue.
Occasionally it plays nice and works for 10 mins but then plays up again. Is there something I can do to easily repair this issue or
Should I take it back to samsung and get it fixed under warranty.
Or thirdly try and get a refund and buy another branded device ie ipad
Cheers for listening or reading

When does this issue occur, only while screen is locked? What exactly do you mean by "struggles to swipe...?"
hey guys, im new here but thought this would be the best place to ask.
i am having a problem with my lg g3 since i bought it, at first the phone would randomly turn off when using the camera and i would have remove the back cover and remove the battery for a few seconds just for it to be able to turn back on again, which as you can imagine with a brand new high end phone incredibly frustrating!!
a few months down the line i am having a different problem this time, whenever i have the phone on speaker phone in a call it does it again and instantly turns off. even if i take the battery out it doesn't come back on i have to leave the battery out for about a minute or 2 before it will switch back on. i have returned the phone on the first instance a week after i bought it but now i dont know what to do.. it seems it must be a widespread issue with the phone as i have gone through 3 of the same devices from the store and they all do it.
has anyone else had the same problem on here, and does anyone know the solution to it?
thanks so much for reading hope you have time to help me out as im not very experienced in phone issues.
ps these recaptcha are umm different shall i say.. ive been here for 5mins trying to get one correct am i being stupid?

Hi guys, so I bought my Find 7a from oppostyle pretty much a few days after launch, and while I had several problems along the way due to terrible software and ROM flashing not working (touch screen wouldn't work with any ROM but Color OS), I still loved my phone for it was a beautiful and a powerful device.. Yesterday it started behaving really strange, it basically doesn't let me control anything, it randomly turns the screen off and on, closes apps by itself, starts messing with my home screen, just completely uncontrollable. It got to the point that I need to keep my phone off during lectures just to keep my screen from randomly turning on and I need the battery. I'm using the latest STABLE version of Color OS (which came out a good while ago). This just started suddenly happening yesterday and I can't use the device, simply can't. Every time I want to do something it just turns the screen off mid way and when I turn it on again it's on the home screen again. I'm a little pissed since my warranty ran out (1 year warranty) and the repair prices are way too high for a device that came out as one of the first smartphones made by OPPO.
I really need your help guys. Thank you for your attention.
Here's a video of the behaviour. It acts like this on recovery too so it must not be a software issue.
