Did anyone experience this weird brick - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I recently installed cyanogen mod 12 on my galaxy note 2 gt n7100. It was fine until one day when I turned it on, it started to act like a bricked phone and did the turning on and repeating thing. However, when I plug it into a charger it works fine. I flashed stock firmware and it didn't fix it. Can anyone help me with this weird brick please?

Can someone else relate

Ok so I've had my white galaxy s II for about 3 days. Before I rooted the phone I was experiencing my phone randomly freezing up. I thought it was just a software issue but now that I have rooted it, I'm still experiencing the same issue, but its seems to be worse. I was wondering if anybody else was having this issue and if so how did you fix it.

Do you have this problem on your Note II?

Hey Guys,
I just found a problem on my note ii. I wanted to know if it's just me or if it happens with you guys as well. It happened with my old my Note II, so I exchanged it. The problem is still there with the new note.
So here is how you find the problem.
- Take out your S Pen.
- Go to the S Pen Section
- Create a Note.
- Then go to the right side of your phone, next to the center.
- Keep scribbling up and down, till you find a dead spot.
Let me know if it happens to you guys too.
Thanks.
I did this and noticed nothing unusual.

This happens to my Note II. There's dead spots in the empty spot. I just wanted to know if it was me or some other people as well. This is my replacement phone, it happened to the old one as well.
Nope, my phone is working flawlessly!!!

Thank you so much guys! I appreciate it.
I'll be heading back to T-Mobile with this.
I am able to write on the entire side of my phone (both sides that is).
My problem with the note 2 is that stock alarm clock doesn't work, I set it up and nothing! Anyone else?

seems to be working fine here, are you sure you set up everything correctly? tone? melody? vibration? that's weird
No problem here. Have the device replaced.
Are you using a case with a magnet latch? That could be whats causing the dead spot

mine is perfect doesnt have any dead spot

[Q] NO SIM?

Hi, I currently have a Galaxy note II , and it has been working perfectly fine.I have owned it since new and i bought it sim free. I decided to sell it to a friend and just before handing it over , i did a factory reset to make it as new. But now it does not recognise his sim , or even mine which worked perfectly fine before i did this. Surely it cant be a hardware issue as it was working literally minutes ago. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Definitely try to factory reset it again. It happened to me once on my s3. It might help.. or maybe not but it surely won't hurt to try

[Q] Galaxy Nexus not charging

My phone isn't charging at all.
In an attempt to charge, I turned it off and plugged in the charger. The charging animation did come up bit it would keep on coming up (like it's in a loop) and my phone still won't actually charge.
PC wasn't recognizing the phone either. Was saying that the USB device is not recognized.
I tried pushing up the metal inside the USB slot too. Not working. Maybe I haven't done that correctly.
What exactly could be the issue? The fact that the screen shows the charging animation when phone is off makes me feel that the USB slot may not really be faulty. But even though the animation comes, it vanishes before it should be complete (ie it vanishes before the battery icon is filled with white) and starts the animation from the beginning.
For ****s, flash the stock image, but it really sounds like faulty.... Something, try other USB bricks and cables.

Tried different cables. It's the same.
I can't flash the factory image either but my battery is completely dead now and I need to charge it to boot the phone up. And to be honest, I don't think flashing stock will really help.
had this issue as well, ended up just getting a replacement. Figured it was hardware issue. couldn't ever get it fixed
Wow!! Suddenly everything is working. Just kept the phone idle in the drawer with the battery taken out for around 30 minutes. Connected the charger and it's working fine.
Even though is temporarily fixed. Its a USB port problem. Mine has the same. I just use an external charger.

The actual problem is the mid board. I had that same problem. what you need to do is get the mid board replace inside of the phone.

Had the same issue some days back... Some days it charged and some days it won't charge at all.. While it's off it says its charging but it actually isn't .. Did some reading n found out that the USB flex port was gone.. Replaced it and everything fine now...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
How much does a USB flex port cost? I'll need it in case the problem occurs again.

Yep, I am facing the same and this issue seems to be going around even for Nexus 4. The problem lies around 4.3 update.

Try these steps but none of them help. The only way to charge your phone at the moment is to switch it off, wait a few seconds, connect charger and see that charging animation starts. Now you can switch on the phone and the phone almost everytime continues charging.
I have no idea what causes this and I hope someone can pin the fault somewhere...but no cigar so far.

I think the contrary. It is software issue. Nexus 4 users are worst effected by it. And no one seems to have a clue. Its just known that it is restricted to 4.3 only.
Can you link the Nexus 4 thread please?

There are half a dozen more and most of the people have given up.
I downgraded to 4.2.2 and still, the phone doesn't charge. Its a pain in the arse.
I guess I should just go back to 4.3 and wait for a fix since downgrading didn't fix the issue, this is a bummer to say the least
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
This may be a dumb question but would this have anything to do with not having the 4.3 boot loader??? I didn't install it, my understanding was it wasn't necessary on the Verizon gnex
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
OK update I flashed back to 4.3 and went into storage and unchecked "connect as media deviceā€ and so far it is charging OK from all sources, only problem I still have is the the charging indicator still flashes on and of when unplugged

Just try to install battery widget reborn
I dnt knw if its gonna work but after installing this my phn showed charging all the time
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
OK here is an update, I have cleaned out my port with a small screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit, used some compressed air and a little bit of electrical contact cleaner and gently raised up the charging port a bit ( to where it was originally, mine was bent down a bit ) and bam! So far its working again like a charm

Note 3 won't charge unless rebooted.

Since last week my Note 3 won't charge unless I reboot it with the charger on. I brought a new charge port, switched roms, went back to stock and nothing. Any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance.

Bad USB cable? Does it work for transferring data?
Frank
Tried around 10 cables and a few wall chargers including original ones. With Tweaked I was getting "Dock is connected" With Hyperdrive I get "Battery charged" Always happens unless I insert the usb cable at reboot.

I had similar problem with an SM-N900V which I documented somewhere in one of the SM-N900V forums. I did not discover your trick to make it work so I swapped the battery with my newer SM-N900T. The battery fully charged in that device and has been normal ever since in both devices. The problem was caused by getting wet and I think the different device reset something in the battery.
Frank
I was thinking about the battery. Brought a new one online to see if that would do something as soon as it arrives. Thanks for the information. Will give it a try with a friend.

After re-reading this thread I recall that I have a similar problem with my Note (SGH-I717). This is probably not your problem but I'll describe it just to add information to this thread.
If the Note (SGH-I717) is off and I plug in power it turns on but does not charge. The solution is to turn on the device and wait until the first graphic image has passed before plugging in external power.

Not at all. It wasn't the battery either. I have no idea what else to try. Bootloader? Knox tripping? I really don't know.

You flashed a kernel that was either bad download or did not flash right. You need to odin back to stock not flash a stock rom. Have to odin back to clear all the wacky stuff.
