RIP Note2

2 weeks ago, my Note2 just died. :(
It was ~25hrs after I posted it as for sale on my FB page (nagtampo. lol).

Battery was low, WiFi and GPS turned on, and was using the GrabTaxi application when the screen suddenly turned off and wouldn't turn back on. LED indicator is not also working when I tried to charge it. When I try to turn it on, I could only see the screen lighting in a dark shade of green for a few seconds then disappears.

I'll bring this at a Samsung Service Center and hopefully they could revive my phone.

Guess what? I just went to a local Samsung Service Center... They said it was already for LCD replacement and such repair/replacement would probably cost ~8,000php. HOWEVER, since I bought my unit from Kimstore, they said it wasn't compatible with the stocks they have as my unit was bought from UAE. They will look for class A parts and notify me in case they find one.

In that price,you can buy already a 2nd hand phone with a higher unit with top condition than we are using right now..

Hi guys. I hope there are still a few more active users of samsung note 2 here.

What replacement battery brands can you suggest for our phone (SGN2)? I just replaced the OEM battery last year, (bought one from a samsung store at a mall for around 2k++ PHP) and just last week, that battery ballooned a bit. So I was trying to look for a cheaper one but still performs like an OEM battery.

Thank you and hoping to hear from you guys!

Buy an OEM battery and take care of it. Class A batteries are not suggested due to some defectiveness of it.

Thank you Sir.

BTW, another question, my SGN2 suddenly is not being recognized by my laptop whenever I am connecting my phone to it. I am still using the data cable that I was using before when it was still being recognized by my laptop. Any ideas how to fix this? I tried to search online and did that *#(dial numbers) and followed their instructions, to no avail.

Hi guys, I have a SG Note 2 LTE (GT-7105) I flashed a 4.1.1 version using Odin it was completed but now it just loads the logo "Samsung" I came from the version 4.4.2. I am downgrading to unlock the sim using the dial trick. Does anyone have a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 version of the official Samsung ROM for Globe PH? And may I ask is it okay to downgrade from 4.4.2 directly to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and would I be able to unlock the carrier using the trick on those version? Thanks in advance!

    I'm seeing some common queries from our kababayans. So here's some facts that might help out future questions:

    * Regardless of what CSC you have, you can manually flash any Samsung Official ROM from sammobile.com using PC Odin. Nothing to worry about.
    * Rooting is entirely different from software unlocking. It won't unlock your phone just by rooting.
    * Don't worry too much about trying to reset your binary counter. As long as you don't step on your phone, it won't break. Besides, there is always Triangle Away.
    * Once you root, you can't do any OTA so stop trying.. Like for real. Even if you have an official stock rom.
    * Mobile Odin + Custom Recovery are the only things you'll ever need. You'll never have to connect your phone from your PC/Mac again.. Like ever.
    * USB debugging is a thing of the past. When you want to transfer files from and to your phone, Airdroid is what you want.
    * Avoid clearing your cached apps. Please... It will only make your battery drain faster. Android has a unique app + memory management that's built in.
    * Unusual battery drain when flashing a new ROM is but normal. Let the ROM settle for a few days before you start freaking out.
    * The only thing that will surely (101%) brick your phone is when you flash a different radio for a different model. When you do that, don't even bother rescuing your poor phone.

    Guys may alam ba kayong mabibilihan ng spen?? Nawala spen ko .. di ko naactivate yung keeper.. hai:(

    from GODFATHER GT-N7100
    DMB4 PHILIPPINES..

    1,000+ pesos for a new S-Pen on Samsung stores.

    If anyone likes to buy an extra battery, go to CD-R King. They have a 3100 mAh battery for only 420 pesos.

    Almost identical battery life from the original. Good deal :)

    Mga kabayan for me, everytime i have an update whether kies or ota, i do a factory reset. This is just me because long long time ako during the SII days i got crappy batt life after an update. Did an FR and that solved it. So that became my style ever since, again this is just me.

    Did update to 4.1.2 through Kies, did an FR, got no issues and good batt life. Did the recent update to MA6 through OTA, again silly me still did an FR, i get good battery life. For me i do not like to rely on the phone optimizing the apps. So i want an FR which gives me the new firmware like brand new lol, again this is just me.

    If i dont need to use data, (3G or H+) i always set my phone to GSM Only. If you need to use data, choose wcdma only. Auto mode drains battery and keeps selecting the best signal.

    If you have crappy network signal, left your phone idle, even with data off...expect some batt drain specially when your on auto mode.

    I agree with Prince, clearing RAM can cause additional drain, so just do it when you are about to retire to bed. Your phone should go into deep sleep when idle after clearing ram...example after the MA6 update, 10% left on the phone, went to sleep, woke up 6 hours later with still 10%, so deep sleep with the new update is good.

    If you leave your phone idle, data off, and your phone does not go into deep sleep then check if you have wake locks. Click on battery graph, AWAKE bar should match SCREEN bar, if it does not then you do have wake locks. If they match, then its your network signal

    i am no expert but this system works for me. just sharing mga kabayan.

    everyone of us started as a noob.. it's obvious he didn't read the rules so no need to play smart and say such things.. especially to our own kababayans.
    this thread is created for us filipinos to help and guide each other especially the new ones.. so HELP the new ones.. if they violated a rule then tell them..

    anyways:
