Hardware problems - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I installed a replacement usb ribbon controller about 2 weeks ago and after the install the ringer/loudspeaker stopped working and i couldnt get any mobile reception unless i was outdoors and not around tall buildings.
I replaced the loudspeaker but its still only working at very low volume and cuts out if the sound goes above a certain level. I also replaced the antenna cable and the mobile reception seems to have improved a lot but instead of registering onto my preferred network automatically it just keeps showing emergency calls only.
Im assuming that maybe the usb controller i installed is the root of all the problems.
Can anyone please help???
Ive been trying to sort this but cant seem to figure out what the issue is. My imei number and serial are showing up correctly and i am on stock jb 4.1.2 lt9 which is the correct one for my country and carrier.
PLEASE HELP!!

This usually points to installing the wrong revision of the usb controller. Do you have your old usb, check the revision number and compare it.

Rev number was the same but was not an official samsung replacement part. Have ordered a proper samsung part now so hopefully this will sort the issue.

Dock / Car mode turning on and off

Hey guys im using crashes final 4.1.2 rom and for the past week i have notice that car mode turns on and off again. its becoming annoying. i cant find out how to turn this off at all.
I have used this ROM for 2 months with no issues until now.
Any ideas?

Its possibly a hardware fault, I had a similar problem with my old HTC hd2 where the USB connection became corrupted and forced the phone into thinking it was getting docked. That's my view but hopefully its a software thing and you can easily sort it.

thanks JR
its happening when its not plugged in as well.. it just took 20 minutes to type this cause it keeps doing it lol

I had the exact same problem. Car dock mode randomly activated and deactivated with no user input.
The problem was a faulty USB the on the phone that was fixed when I sent it to service.
try cleaning the USB port first.. (remove battery) use a clean cloth , little alcohol, a small toothpick (gentle)

Signal Dropping issues - Please help

Hey friends
For sometime I have been having signal drop issues with my incredible S .. I have changed radios (ics ones)
and also roms.. but it doesnt seem to go away
basically the signal drops randomly and says no network and after a while comes back on..
any help or solutions? highly appreciate it..
Thank you!
Any advice my friends?
Maybe it's the service providers issue? Are any other phones at your disposal facing the same issue?
You Jelly Bruh??
Don't think it's the service bro.. Using another device in the same area and it's totally cool..
I'm jelly bro

There is an copper anthena at the back cover of the phone. If damage it. The signal will dropping and will not increase

same issue here. signal is fine most of the time, then suddenly no signal for a few minutes. but restart is fixing it, so It's
neither the antenna, nor our provider.. hmm ._.
I'm guessing I would have to take the phone apart completely simplay taking the back cover off shows no wire. I saw a post earlier about the signal cable was disconnected. I did not see one and as stupid as this may sound would all phones have one?

Could it be radio related then since many if us are having this?
Has anyone been getting this issue on an ICS ROM?

Replacement handset - do I reject few issues or live with them ?

Got my new one replacement from 3 yesterday and most of the handset is perfect
I can see a little defection on the plastic between the glass and the body but my wife says she cant see it , but I know its there so it will bug me
however ive just been checking light bleed and my screen at the top isn't fully sealed
Do I reject the handset and get another replacement ?
Get that **** replaced, you have 2 years to live with that phone, and it doesn't cost you anything to get it replaced.

Just speaking to 3 ... they can replace again - my thoughts entirely .... should be perfect but it isn't
annoying thing the fault I had before is not apparent on this handset grrrrr
Am also with three, received my second handset yesterday and have a third one coming Monday, which they assure me will be inspected before it leaves them.

third handset en route to me also will be with me on Tuesday .. not good is it if this third handset has faults
im swapping to the s4 which pains me
hopefully the 3rd handset will come from the new batch - what was the fault with yours ?
fingers x for you - let me know how you go on
Can you guys post the first half of your serial numbers to check what batch these replacements are coming from?
They also said that I can keep getting the phone replaced if it's faulty as long as next time I don't connect the phone to wifi/the network next time, as it's still 'new' in their books if you do that.

HT338W what ever that means
3 cant stop you connecting to the internet , if a handset is faulty its faulty - what happens if you connect it and then find
the microphone doesn't work ?
You're right, they still have to replace it of course, but they're easier to deal with if you don't connect it to stuff. Personally I don't have problems with them replacing it but others have had issues with them giving them more than 1 replacement.

Ill completely check my handset then before connecting
I usually buy unlocked handsets but as said have always been with 3
this is the first handset from 3 for some time - bit unusual 3 faulty handsets
I was being picky with the small issue with the plastic round the glass but wont put up with glaring light from the top !
If my serial is HT338W (which was the same as my first handset)
which batch does it come from ?
Is it the same as yours ?
That's the 8th of march I think, same factory. Could you check the audio if you have time please? Connect some headphones, turn the volume down to the lowest on a quiet song, is there any background noise, a hissing noise?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The batch from 8th of March from either factory (HT or FA) seems to be the one causing problems. I am due a replacement, hope I get a later batch. If the serial number is printed on the box, I will check first before unwrapping the replacement.

course ill have a look for you when I come home
if my next one is the same start of serial its going back without even opening it
I think in the countries where HTC One has already released, getting a replacement doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get a good one because you are getting from same batches again.
I'm hoping us getting a month late will help about those kinda problems.
Just spoke to 3 to ask them to check the handset before it is dispatched they advised they can't open the box
I asked them to check the serial number again they can't do this
Pot luck also 3 handsets is max if next one is faulty they well have to collect the handset asks check it before any more replacements
Fingers x next one is fine or I'll be less than impressed

Weird thing about the handset I've got at moment till I get my 3rd replacement the heat is a lot higher .. I've been surfing for a bit and it's hot to touch didn't notice that on my first weird

How strange, any new apps? If the third phone is no good I think I'll wait for the s4, which would be a real shame.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
None that I can think of it's cooled down again
Not sure how it goes when I've took out a new 3 contact and paid my old off can I don't delay my contact if the handset isn't for for purpose ?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
If you don't connect the phone to either their network or wifi then you have a 14 day cooling off period, when you can cancel your contract. Not sure how it works with paying off your old one. They offered me different handsets over the phone, they might try to charge a couple of quid extra for the s4 but I doubt it will be a problem
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Alas I'm over 14,days and connected my first handset to the network so I'm stuck with contact which isn't a problem as I make good use of the internet and get good coverage with them (I took me contact our and paid my old one of)
Would have to use not fit for purpose but I'm hoping the 3rd is ok

Repair it with Sony Update Service.
Updated 4 days back
Build no 10.1.1.A.1.253
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app
Try a factory reset. But before that check if rebooting solves the problem. I had a display issue which was fixed by a reboot.

not telling you to update, "repair it"
Using different chargers is the cause.
Use the stock charger with stock cable.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
I have the same issue, and I don't use the stick charger, I imagine the problematic chargers aren't correctly grounded or have some EMI or ESD issues. I haven't tried the stock charger yet to see if it solves it.
Poor move on Sony's part though not making the phone able to handle a poor quality power source correctly.

before i used to charge using the car charger. at my cousins place i used a htc charger for 4-5 days.
from later on im using the stock charger itself..
did i restart .. no use..
same issue... i selected show touch from development options..
im able to see the responses.. this occurs only sometimes , may be every 7/10.
just a single touch and the whole line gets multi touched.
for ex- i try to type "hie" , i get something like "ghjuioert" some times even bigger messages.
no difference even after a rebot.
should try factory reset. (long process backup download etc ).
any other options ?..
im using the stock charger...
tell me how to repair it...
With pc companion or sony update service.

Hi dude !
I remember to have this problem on my Xperia Neo.
While charging the touchscreen was unresponsive like touching on one side was like touching on the other side, apps opening randomly, lots of bugs. But didn't happened always, only sometimes.
I never figured out what could be and I don't use it anymore.
Maybe you have a faulty unit

Please help.....

I had a problem with the charging port on my galaxy note so opened it up and fitted a new one, I've had a charging port issue before and changed it with no problems only this time, it charges just fine but for some reason my phone has trouble connecting to my network, I know it must be a antenna problem but not sure what ive done and what I might need to replace (if anything). It sometimes get a signal but doesn't keep it. Please if anyone can give me some advice on what might help to fix this issue. I'm due a new phone in February but need this one to see through till then. If anyone an help me fix it, when I upgrade to a new phone I will send you my much loved n7000.
Thx in advance.

Just search in XDA.. these are the consequences of not using a genuine USB module.

Damn your right, I put the old one back in and BooOOM... It Connects straight away. I've just ordered a genuine module and see if that works.
Thanks all for info.
