yes the screen flickers at <3%.. i have seen it in 3 notes... so i guess it happens
Usually this happen when the battery isn't original.
Its happened to me with fake battery. No problem with stock one.
I think battery issues could be case. Many nowadays including myself

it could happen with any battery if quality is not good or diminished. I think so at least Check your battery, does it look out of shape?
You could try a friends battery, or an alternative rom could also be another issue.
You can also experiment with the power saving features to turn them of.
Uninstall if any, power saving apps/ screenfilter apps.

Doesn't the warranty on batteries last for 12 months ? Why not get Samsung to replace it if it fails withing that time frame.
Then again, For the price of one, Is it worth all the aggro of sending it to Samsung, Waiting, Waiting some more, Then having it sent back ?
They do go pretty cheap online, And the Anker 5000mah are worth considering (except the size increase)

As they're classed as consumables I believe warranty on batteries is only 6 months, but I think it would be great if we could somehow make samsung aware of how short the battery life is on these, maybe some sort of petition.

Galaxy note Help **REWARD**

Dear all,
I have recently rooted my Samsung galaxy note using this method:www .cursed4eva.com/root-galaxy-note/ which worked very well and i had no issues.
I then installed Beats audio pro from the play store and thats when i started to get issues like crashes and such so i uninstalled the app, then thats when i started to get a error message saying "Process system not responding" which would result in me losing control of my keyboard and i completely lost service and was unable to make calls etc(O2 UK).
I then performed a factory wipe and cleared the cache but this has made matters worse now when i reboot it only shows up for a couple of minutes then shows the "process system not responding" error message then goes to a blank screen with only the two lights at the bottom showing and i cant use my phone at all.
Please Help ill paypal anyone who can get my phone to work again.
Oh and Hi im Nathan nice to meet you all
Put the phone in download mode. Use pc odin to flash latest ICS rom.
Please PayPal Nokia model n91 10 million dollars or 5 million euros. Whatever is easier for u

Not sure what the point of the last thread was. It's possible that the hot fixed had a virus? Be careful about the sites you choose for Android tweaks, it's incredibly susceptible to viruses. I could be way off here.

Am I missing something here. Where did the virus come from?
It's not difficult to add things into an app. They're saying that someone could have embedded a virus in what he used for root, to hijack his phone.

Did I get a clone phone?

Hi all. I recently bought another S3 4G and it feels no where near as good as my old S3 is there a way to tell if I have received a clone phone? It says galaxy S3 and I successfully installed ripper rom on it but it just don't feel right.
Also what is a room that has 0 system apps on it and is bare so I can start from scratch?
Thanks

Well when I plugged it into the PC it said hardware ID missing but then Kies installed drivers so I'm guessing so but not to sure.

Simply put: If it says it registers to be a SGS III and you can install a ROM that is device specific then it is an S III. If you are still curious though try finding a hardware reading or something and compare it to normal S IIIs

If it is running a Samsung ROM that would brick any other device other than the I9305, then it would have it.

Hahaha I can imagine the feeling actually, well enjoy and I strongly recommend Liquid Smooth ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149746), it is basically the same as Cyanogenmod (both AOSP) but unlike CM it has an official build, less bugs (in my experience), proper support and a proper maintainer though it would not be there if not for CodeWorkx so many thanks to him.

Yes I have it on my phone, it has never bugged flashing. If it were to have the Samsung features then it would have a crap load of bloatware on it, making it slower etc. It doesn't even come with the calendar installed so it doesn't like bloatware (excluding GTalk)

The stock battery is great, if you don't use your phone at all that is . Just get an upgrade as I did 4100 mah,sure it doubles the size and looks fat,but man I can't use a phone that has a 4 h charge when using it.

I have been using this apk on several custom roms now,it does help battery life but noy by a hteat deal,i have flashed all kernels for roms and the only conclusion that i csn come too is the battery itself is crap,going to start searching for some different batteries and try them and test them.I will post any results i find.

Guys, seriously, disable history location and history report on google settings. also disable find remotely and restore original setting on google settings aswell
(if you want to search and wipe youre stolen phone, use Wheres my droid for example)
You can shurely expect a lot more juice after that. Will prove it later with pics tomorow.
battery life
Hi for the last few weeks my phone has only been charging to 92% after been on charge all night I have tryed different ROMs and kernels but still the same even tryed different chargers and a new battery but still no further forwards please help me
I have the same "problem". Stuck at 92%. I recommend you to read this thread.
You can calibrate battery (reset battery stats) using app such as Battery Calibration. (Your device has to be rooted i guess.) You can also delete battery stats in cwm/advanced/wipe battery stats. It's recommended to calibrate it when installing a new rom.
It might help if you plug it in when battery drops <15% (don't let it drop below 5%) and keep charging it until is full (you can add 15 minutes).
I hope that makes your battery stats become more accurate.

Firmware leaked? R380XXU0BND9

I was browsing and found this article... not sure how reliable the source is but has anyone else heard about this? If so has anyone tried it out yet? I'm guessing we somehow use Kies to install it...

Yeah, I saw there was another thread in the Gear 2 forums (they should probably combine them!). They said the same thing about it being international or something. I read one post saying they installed it with Odin, not sure if that was true but I will just hold off installing it.
Thanks!

I have no issues here in US. I flashed the Greek firmware in Odin and all is well through a normal day of usage and apps install as usual via Samsung Apps. I'm about to try reverting just for shiggles and see how that goes, for no reason other than curiosity.

Hi guys, there's a new official BTU firmware available via ota. Change log lists s health improvement plus ui improvement. Will test and report anything extraordinary. Personally I'm hoping the pedometer learns to count steps and the heart rate sensor to stop jumping from 70 to 140 in a few seconds.
