alright first things first, no custom roms, not rooted.. i run the stock rom that i got with the galaxy note, 2.3.5.
here is my problem,
last week my phone suddenly became too slow, so i tried to restart it, and it got stuck in the logo screen,
that part where it says Galaxy Note , N7000 (something like that), I am not sure if 'bricking' means this, anyway my big note feels like a brick now.
i send it to repair, they said they would replace it for me, and they also said that they have repaired the issue with my original phone. Well i got impatient and didnt get the replacement, i went and got my phone back earlier today, it was working fine, and as the service centre said, they had repaired the issue.
It was factory reseted, so when i got back home, i started installing my favorite apps. But soon, as i was progressing app after app, my apps started getting force closed, and when i tried to restart it, it got hung , again on the logo screen. Unable to do anything like the last time.
So i will take it to the service centre tomorrow n hope that i get that replacement .
So i wanted to know why this is happening, the only reason i can think of is that one of my apps is causing the issue, the apps i installed (in the order of installation) are :
Gingerbread keyboard
1) facebook (the official app)
2) facebook messenger
3) go chat
4) avast antivirus
5) twitter
6) whats app messenger
7)IMDB
8) viber
9) exfm
10) cubed
11) mobo video player
12)Glam
13)BBC news
14) CNN news
15) barcode reader
16) Espn Score centre
so around the time i finished installing the barcode reader, and started to get the ESPN app, my problem started, the android app market suddenly force closed, along with the ESPN app that finished installing. Then almost all my apps started force closing as i try to open them, i try to restart and the phone got hanged.
Any advice as to where i went wrong??
Well, you may try uninstalling the apps in the reverse order. But I would be too lazy for that. I would either factory reset the phone or flash the newest available stock firmware (KKA at the moment methinks) with full wipe. From then on I would keep the phone close to stock for a week or two and see if it happens again. If it does the phone itself may be defective and needs replacing.
i cant even get the phone to run ;(
its stays stuck on the logo screen
Sounds like you have a hardware problem. Bad memory or something.

They said they could replace it for you why you picked the same phone then??? They did opened it, placed their hands inside of it. Simple it isn't factory phone now, it is a repaired one now. Get a replacement if you still can.

will do...
anyway according to the samsung guy, they didnt open the phone, it was a purely software issue.
anyway, i am suspecting a memory issue/hardware problem, since this is my first smartphone I dont really know much about this.
also, the ram usage is always around 650/800. is that normal?? even when the task manager shows no apps running in the background..
hey, can anyone tell me the hard reset key combination for Note??
i tried the method for S2, but that is not working here

You say you are running on 2.3.5, i am on 2.3.6 . If you can reset and get it running again try updating before you install and apps. Good luck.
I bought S4 2 months ago. Recently, it keep restarting and restarting. The battery go down from 50% to 0% when it restart. Anyone know how to fix this issue ?
Same thing over here
My S4 acted that way also.
It happened when I took burst pictures and then touch the little photo icon in the corner to see the captured images.
The phone restarted at 0% battery and got into restart loop.
Only removing the battery for a few seconds could stop this loop.
Now, I reinstalled a new ROM.
Hope it works.
Try install new recovery+ROM
There are many ways to try to fix this issue start from the least expensive :
- disconnect wireless
- remove sd card
- remove the battery and the sim card and reinsert them
- check if your battery is swollen and replace it if so
- try a factory reset
- if you have a custom rom try stock rom
good luck

- i already removed sd card, but it keep restarting.
- Just did, didnt work.
- My battery is fine, lots of people are suffering this problem so i think this is software, firmware, etc. problem.

- I havent touched anything about ROM.

Getting the same-ish problems. Phone is rebooting like mad, doesn't matter what ROM I have installed at all. Not sure if it's an issue with my battery but it seems that it could be a voltage/current issue that causes the phone to die for just long enough. As everyone knows if you pull the battery out whilst the phone is on, then put it back in after a second or two, the phone tries to reboot without you ever having pressed the power button
I just got 2 new batteries. Gotta wait about a week for them to come. Gonna do some testing, see if it stops the issues. If not, then it's a hardware issue and I'm gonna see if I can get it replaced under warranty.
How to use logcat
My problem seems to be different compared to the others in this thread, but don't want to start a new thread. Currently my S4 is lying in the office all week, because I use another phone, when I am outside of the office. It's equiped with pre-rooted MGA, but I also tried various other ROM's, with different ways of flashing e.g. CWM, Odin etc. also no wipe/full wipe. The problem is that as soon, as I take the phone away from the office, I have several restarts a day, which is never happen in the office. This is strange!
My thoughts are, that some app is responsible.
questions:
- can I find out in using logcat? / How to use logcat?
- There is a description to boot the phone into safe mode http://skp.samsungcsportal.com/integrated/popup/FaqDetailPopup3.jsp?cdsite=my&seq=871239. It's not working for me. Has anybody tried that?
- Any other ideas?

I believe that goes in the right direction, but turning off GPS did not help. But I think it must have to do with location, sometimes it is stable the whole day (same as in the office) sometimes 2-3 reboots, one after the other.
Must be an app, but how to find?
I've had my G2 for almost a month now and the knock on/off always worked flawlessly. Then today it just stopped working, my knock off works but knock ON will not work, at ALL! I've restarted, turned the feature off/on, nothing is getting it to work again. Any ideas? What exactly triggers the knock on feature? Surely it can be the touch of the lcd if the screen is off...is it somehow the proximity sensor or gyro sensor? If I can figure out how it works maybe I can start there..Thanks for any help you can give me.

Well I havent installed anything new recently but maybe I'll take the opportunity to try one of the new CM/ASOP roms...Thanks for the reply
I'm having the same issue with knock on not working. i've wiped a few times and have flashed diferent roms but it wont turn the phone back on. i'm also having this strange issue where i cant pull the notification bar down.
EDIT: I figured it out. did you install TWRP Recovery? i did and mine was messed up. i flashed back to stock and re-rooted and everything works again. I'm not sure if TWRP is the reason since im on a t-mobile G2 but reflashing to stock definitely worked. also i think you have to do a reset after flashing rom because the changes wont take effect unless you do

Wow that's a relief, I'm having the same pull down issue too.. Even scrolling here is a dead spot on the screen if I'm scrolling a page or list as I get in that area it "slows". I thought my digitizer was going bad. I found my knock on works but I have to do it extremely slow... Tap... Pause 1-2...tap.
Edit yes to twrp.

well i re-rooted and it doesnt work anymore. i deleted stuff so i need to see if its something that is being removed that causes it to not work
I just flashed the stock rom back..shows unrooted again, and it is still doing the same thing. Im still under my 30 days, Im going to return it, hope for the Nexus 5 on verizon by the weekend and if not I guess buy a new G2.
mine still says rooted so i'm kinda screwed right now
Same issue
Same thing with my T Mo G2. Using Nova launcher. Knock on worked flawlessly since new, about 2 months,use Nova gesture for knock off. Suddenly knock on stopped working. Too bad, because I like the feature, got used to using it. Did a restore and wipe using TWRP, kept root access, but still no knock on. Next I'll try going back to stock ROM, but I'd rather go an easier route. Has anyone successfully restored knock on?
Hi i have a dead spot somewhere app in the screen and when i pull down the notification bar it doesnt goind down.Also i tryed to draw with quick memo and i can see that it is a dead spot somewhere near the top of the screen
Does anyone has the probleme and have you fixed it

No...first try this.
Open phone app and go to dialer
Dial 3845#*XXX# where XXX is your phone model i.e. 800/1/2/3.. You will come accross a menu.
Select settings
Select touchscreen firmware update...
Wait for couple of minutes...screen will become unresponsive...
when it responds reboot....
Go to settings gestures...ensure knock on is selected.
It should work then,
Let me know...Best of Luck....

I read the following posts on some other forum...so essentially its a hardware issue....try stock jb rom kdz, then factory reset and reboot. If this helps solve the problem you are lucky. If not, try getting your phone replaced with 802 model. That is practically most stable with a lot of devlopment and tons of ROMS stable and working.
I will still keep looking for a solution and let you know consulting a few senior xda devs I know... sorry man, it hurts to see a fellow indian in distress.....:crying:
Tons of lg users are experiencing this issue. Its a design flaw with a hardware component that easily breaks. Wonderful build quality -_-...right. So only option is replacing the phone. But to how soon, until the other one breaks. So its kinda like. Well. This blows. I suppose Ill install a custom kernel and enable screen wake features that way.

But yet, the activation area pixel size value changed. Either due to a conflicting app install. A intermittent system glitch etc

Good luck with that if the phone is a D800. I took my G2 to the local AT&T store just a couple of hours ago with the same "no knock on" bug. But the sales person (who had bad breath) told me that because there was another way to get the phone to function (the back button), they won't even look at it. The fact that the knock off/on feature was a MAJOR selling point when the phone was released is apparently irrelevant.
He has a ls980 so it might not be the same for him. He can ask for a replacement

This happened to me this week as well, unfortunately in Canada none of the carriers will replace my device for me, LG says its user damage and are gonna charge me 125 dollars to fix it. I'm gonna see what the local repair shop says and hopefully theyll just fix it for me. It seems like this is an increasingly common issue, it's a shame that LG don't recognize that we didn't damage our phones, they sold us defective units. I'm very unhappy with LG's customer service, we should raise awareness of this and hopefully LG will come up with a solution for us

Did you try the "Hidden Menu" "Touch firmware update" option? I had this issue and it got fixed with it.
try 3845#*modelnumber# eg: 3845#*800# change model number 800 with your phones model number, then tap on "Settings" and scroll down to "Update Touch Firmware"
I have a few more suggestions to make it work, let me know how it goes.
Has this happened to anyone elses G2? I am on verizon with 4.4.2 update and not rooted. He had complete control of her phone. Was writing me messages and kept opening pics of my 4 yr daughter. I diconnected the wifi and mobile data. He still had control of the phone. Then I factory reset it and he still was on it. Verizon is sending me a new phone and getting a new sims card. Is there a way from stoping this from happening?
I truly dont believe though that when you switched off network that someone can still connect. Anyways:
firstly, recap if the phone was ever left unattended, letting someone install something on it.
Dont do that, even if if it has a password on it, anyone not looking away when entering it on the street can see what the pincode/password is.
Apps not from play store, dont install. Ever.
Change all passwords on a safe medium (multiple antiviris vendors scanned) of wifi router, to anything, including recovery questions, make them different and non logical or affiliated to you.
Run virus scans on computer and or any medium that ever connected phone.
Then check apps/websites of mail and such for activity, likely activity at times you didnt use any of the services. Anyway facebook and such lets you close open sessions anywhere.
That should do the trick. And big tip dont get paranoid Just ponder how somehow got acces.
I find it hard to believe that someone could still control the device after a factory reset. Highly unlikely I would say.

1. I really doubt this happened.
2. After disconnecting wifi and mobile data, it would be impossible
3. Factory reset would definitely make it impossible
4. It's more likely that the touch screen is having phantom touches
I had issues with phantom touches on my Optimus G. Drove me batty. Some days it was impossible to use the phone, as the touches were all registering in the bottom half of the screen where the keyboard appears. So random letters would be inserted into words.
Turned out to be a driver issue with the custom kernels in some of the ROMs is using.
Factory reset and being more selective in the kernels I ran fixed the issue.
If it's still happening after a factory reset, then you have a defective touchscreen. Replace the phone under warranty.

I really have no reason to lie to you guys. The messages stopped after I disconnted the internet but the screen was still jumping around. That is why i figured he still had access.
I just received the new phone today. Should I go ahead and get a new sims card or I be ok with the old one?

its possible, if he were root and had something installed as system app.
also you can set stuff like tasker to autimaticaly turn network back on.

I would, you could have the old encryption method on the sim card which would make it easier to root the card. But I am guessing what happened to your wife was something more like an AndroRAT exploit.
It could be possible seeing as all you need is a phone number to find your location by txt msg, and that can be done silently without you ever knowing.
Seems it's a built in part of the RADIO AT that providers can use, if you're on the inside and know how it works it'd be a doddle, but if the txt msgs were gibberish I'd go with the majority with faulty touchscreen/drivers and nothing to worry about
Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
Tell to the hacker to try to hack my phone instead, I don't care. I will shoot exclusively for him a pic of my arse as award if he manages to hack it and he can print it, or try to sell to the newspapers.
BTW, I'm not so anxious about apps not installed directly from Play Store. You can easily check or restrict the permissions of any app as root user. I never yet faced the problems.

Everything else would mean you're the targeted one (but how would the attacker have your new data?)
Maybe your gmail acc has some connections to another app -> look for permissions in your dashboard.

Mine are not lighting up and not working. I have done various resets and things would be back to normal, but that has stopped now.

Factory resets were advised in other threads but did not work. I'm getting so many bugs on this phone that it's starting to piss me off

I''ll give that a try as that seems to be the only option left apart from returning it.
Gave it a try x 2 and it initially appears to work. Then installed some apps and it reverted back. Tried again, and tried setting up as a new phone, same thing. This phone has to be the most disappointing smartphone I have ever had. Permanent bugs, poor sound. Should have waited for the HTC 10.

Don't have one touch mode anywhere . This phone is really beginning to piss me off. Surely a replacement can't have as many bugs as the one I have. Samsung Internet hardly ever works, the settings I save never save and now this. i'm thinking Samsung rushed this out.
Maybe it's called "Single touch mode" or something similar, I'm translating from Italian...

So people say but I have had nothing but problems with it. The sound quality is poor, it never saves my settings and I had to pay £200 to replace the screen whilst out jogging. I didn't drop it, it was in my arm strap for the entire 2 mile jog back from the gym. I'd love to swap it for a HTC 10 as I had the M7 and M8 and they were great phones and I didn't have any issues with them.

You must have just got a faulty one. I have had mine since it was released here in the uk and have not had a single problem with it other than the occasional reboot but thats acceptable and is just in the nature of Android. I would try a replacement but if you prefer you could sell it and put what ever you get towards a htc 10.

Mine are not lighting up and not working. I have done various resets and things would be back to normal, but that has stopped now. Have made enquiries and people are saying it's the Google app and you have to disable it then enable, but that doesn't work either. Has anyone else had this issue? Factory resets were advised in other threads but did not work. I'm getting so many bugs on this phone that it's starting to piss me off

Is powersave mode on?
I've taken it to Samsung on Oxford St, London. After waiting 90 mins a member of staff tried the buttons and then said they will have to send it away for repair and it will take 7-8 days. Then instead of posting it back to me I have to go back to Oxford St and presumably have to wait the same time to get it back. Shambolic customer service.
