Try re flashing the rom?

My phone was showing no sim for the past while intermently til the other day where it would just say no sim. Brought it to service center in richmond and got it fixed under warranty. Paid 30 $ for rushed service and was able to pick up in 3hours.

Good news is that they reflashed my rom with the new update that comes with multiview

Grrr.. Got a invisible shield full body protector. The sides and backing are great, but the screen protector is garbage. I had it for 2 days now and there's impressions left on the protector from using the stylus. :fulloffuck: i believe it's the original "military-grade" scratch protector. Invisible shield is going to replace mine with the HD screen protector, is anyone using this right now and care to comment?

For rooted and flashed Note 2's:

What do you guys do when you have to bring it in for warranty repairs?

Heard there is a binary count and if its not 0, then warranty is void.
To check binary count you can go into Download mode. Hold volume down, power and home button for about 10 secs and then you will see an android logo and press volume up.

Also in your settings>About Device> Status>Device Status would say 'modified' and not 'normal'

I looked on the invisible shield website they only have the screen protector and not the full body............where did you buy yours?

ApePee2 12-11-2012 07:30 AM

got mine at richmond center. theres a kiosk at the north end of the mall.
$42 and some change after tax

sigh* their next shipment that includes the hd screen protector dosent arrive till after christmas. :okay:

I believe there's another invisible shiels kiosk at lougheed mall as well.


edit* saw your location. heres the link the full body should be an option.

i just picked up this phone last night

the screen reminds me of my old OG SGS, just bigger

I had a motorola atrix HD and the screen on that was way nicer in terms of colour and sharpness. Now I know why ppl complain about whites on the super amoled screens :okay:

but the battery life and browsing experience of the note 2 :fullofwin:

1. you have to put it back to stock rom
2. unroot it
3. use "triangle away" to reset flash counter to 0

Sushi604 12-11-2012 03:12 PM

For the people using the Jedi X6 ROM, what makes it better than most other custom/clean ROM's? Is it because it was one of the better ones for the original Note?

Totally agree when i have my mom's optimus 2x compare with SGN2, IPS is so much better
No matter how i adjust my screen it looks shitty, all i can do is to push up the brightness

Don't you need root to use triangle away?

Using ODIN to flash stock roms (assuming you're back to stock recovery as well) shouldn't trip the flash counter, or so I've read. If you flash a stock image, that should get rid of root automatically. So you can use Triangle Away and then just use ODIN to flash stock image.

EDIT: This particular guide is for the S3, but the general order of things is the same.

GUIDE - How to get back to STOCK and un-root your SGS3 - GT-I9300 | DarkyROM

whoops...i missed a step or got it mixed up

1. you have to put it back to stock rom
2. use cf-root to root+flash stock recovery
3. use "triangle away" to reset flash counter to 0
2. unroot it via superuser app

Note (HAH) that's with Wifi on most of the time too.

What was your your total screen on time? Looks like a ton from the graph.
