Wanna know if my phones bricked or not :/ - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought an n7000 when it was first out and haven't used it for about 2 years now ever since it once got into a bootloop(freaked out back then). I got my hands on the phone today and I had the battery taken out when I stopped using it. It wasn't switching on or charging. Do I have to replace the battery? What's wrong with my phone? Can't figure it out :/

Tab battery dying?

Hi. My galaxy tab Verizon is running cyanogenmod 9 Rc1. My battery has been jumping from 30 percent to 3 percent for the last week or so. Today I recalibrated it. It now goes from 17 to 3. It was fully charged when I did it. I did it again. Same result. Is my tab dying? Should I replace it or take it to Verizon?

Nor i were.infact mine was in warranty.i even show this problem to samsung service center they change somthng called IFC.it become normal for a month or two then again show same problem.actual problem wasnt IFC, bt in its changing procedure even they disconnect n reconnect battry connector which solve problem for some time.
I read somewhere its a battery issue.bt who cares now i have a method to overcome it.
its worth opening ur tab.check out videos on youtube nt a difficult task n now i need less then five mins to revive my battery again.
however i am curious why it works.

Well maybe it's a battery stats problem........
I had this problem but never got stressed.....but when the battery stats stuck on a certain % ,I panicked big time.
well I have posted a thread with solutions for this problem.....and that cured both battery stats stuck and the battery draining instantaneously.....worked for me.....never had this problem after that

I had same problem six months ago and I had tried everything. But every time, the problem came back again after a short period of time. Finally I had to buy a battery on eBay two months ago. After replaced the battery, the problem has never shown up again.

if you follow the instruction carefully you won't break it. It's actually very simple. after unscrew, just use an expired credit card to pry it open. Don't use any metals.
follow the fixit or directfix instruction. They are the best!

Indeed its a battery fault bt despite showing fake status there isnt any problem in charging or backup.
thats y i didnt bother to buy new one n will stretch this one by disconnecting method.
Start opening it from bottom corner after removing screws.

I use my tablet instead of my netbook for traveling right now. The tablet is so portable and have all the functions that I need for traveling. I couldn't stand the battery problem any more as it was so frustrating that I couldn't use it while I needed it the most. I didn't send it back for warranty repair because I already rooted and installed the Overcome. The battery is only $16 to $24. It took a little bit guts and dexterity to take out the cover. The back cover is actually quite sturdy and is not that easy to break. I even drilled out the screw heads because I don't have a special screw driver. But I am happy after replaced the battery. My tab is much dependable and reliable.

My Xperia T arrived with a problem :(

Hey all,
Just got an Xperia T today from Vodafone UK. Initial impressions are good, feels really nice in hand, not feeling like it will topple from my hand if I don't support it from the top. Sadly, mine arrived with a build problem along the bottom right. The top and bottom halves are not attached correctly, leaving a few mm gap and a bulge on the bottom half of the phone.

I can imagine that hard cases will not clip onto the phone without problems. Have to wait til Tuesday to get another!
Coming from a Galaxy S3 which has stopped working entirely, totally dead out of the blue, so this isn't the best return to Sony for me
I hope, you will be fine with your next T.
And I really hope, that this is not going to happen to me.
I imagine its a one off, looks it anyway.
Kinda annoying as my S3 stopped working last Saturday so its been a week without a phone as is! I can't get attached to this one as I'll lose everything on it and have to configure again when new one comes!
Initial impressions are good, much prefer stock Sony to HTC and Samsung, but would be hoping for some Paranoid Android down the line

hate it when that happens well u can try to get them to service it or exchange
S3 is going to Samsung for repair early next week
T should be doorstep swapped on Tuesday

You are scaring me! I ordered mine from Clove and it should be here on Monday! I am in the U.S.
Don't worry. Mine has just been put together wrong! I can't imagine it'll be a common occurrence
I'm not getting attached to this one so I'll update the thread when the new one comes

I hope so...! :good:
Honestly i didnt see the problem until i saw it was put together wrongly! gl
As I said earlier, use the backup and restore app, can backup to SD or external USB and it will keep app info, so when you restore you should have everything the same
Not long to wait
Won't get it til Wednesday now apparently due to delays caused by iPhone 5 orders

[Q] How Old!!

Hi guys,
just to ask you how old is your O2x device?
Mine is almost 2y old.
Did anyone ever encounter any malfunction with the device after the warranty ran out.
Need some info.
Thx
same for me, in december it will be 2 years old lol
i never gotten any problems, i've been running custom roms since day 1
mine is 1,5 years old
My old O2X would have rouned two years in February, but ended defective due to little rain damage around two months ago. My current O2X has been around for about 1½ year.
Wonder why I got another O2X? Why not when I only paid €20 for it?
13 months..

Same here! High five!
I still can't believe my screen has only like one minor scratch.
4 months. Already might have to get a new battery because I might have charged it way too often and killed its capacity. But otherwise, working very well so far.
mine is 18 Month old now
btw: I wonder how it can be 2 years old in December , when the SU660 got Released in January 2011 in Korea

In my 13 months, I've had a screen protector on for like 12 3/4.. I got one scratch from that one week without
Not super noticeable but deep enough to see.
Otherwise, my phones pretty ruined on the exterior. Battle scars on every corner, back cover has no glass and is cracked etc.

Nearly 2 years old. Never ever probs with hw. 1st accu is also ok.
Stock ROM (20q) was very slow and what I mean some buggy. Thus a month ago I installed CM7.2!! This
ROM is amazing .
I thought the P990 became a new machine. Many thanks to the developers.
I would buy again.

Mine is 10 mnths old, had few problems the front touch screen was changed as there was a gap, have replaced the back panel twice and also its replacable in your warranty also the motherboard is changed due to power switch replacement. In short I have had a new phone assembled by LG and all in warranty not a penny spent by me.

Software or Battery??

Hey Guys,
I really need your help on this. Last week my G4 out of no where just shuts off and never came back on. I tried removing and putting it back but it just vibrates for about 20-30 secs and stops. I called T-Mobile and they sent me a replacement. The replacement keeps rebooting randomly and the screen flickers. I called T-Mobile and they said it could be the battery, so they're going to send me a new one. So do you guys think it's the phone or the battery? I'm thinking I should pay $140 to jump. What do you guys think?
Seems like people are having trouble with certain G4 suddenly died... something about a faulty motherboard
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
Mine phone did something similar and they had to replace the phone. A week or so ago it just shut off when I was using it, wouldn't come back on. After pulling the battery I could get it power on but it would shut off shortly after. It finally stopped coming on altogether. I called T-Mobile and they sent out a replacement.
Yesterday my phone reboot randomly a couple of times then the last time it did not come back. It would not power on at all. I tried the button combo to get it into download mode and nothing. I did notice that it would appear as a USB TTY device when connected to my computer. I tried using picocom to troubleshoot it but all it kept doing was spitting back junk. I took it to a T-Mobile store and they confirmed that it was dead. T-Mobile is sending me a replacement. I have no idea what caused it.
The manufacture date was June 2015. Maybe it would be helpful if we tracked that as these phones experience these sort of issues?
I received my new battery and the problem still exist. They're sending me another replacement phone. Is there a lemon law? This is just ridiculous...
Just got my 2nd replacement. Same ****ty problem. Just got off the phone with T-Mobile and they're going to be upgrading me to an S6. Good luck to everyone else that has this problem.

I'm assuming you're saying "out the box"
Yes.
I also told the rep that I didn't feel comfortable going through the holidays with an unreliable phone and they helped me by waiving my required jump balance and allowed me to JUMP. I decided to go with the S6 since there aren't any other worthy Android phones on T-Mobiles line up. I mean the Note is just too big and the edge is too much.
Samething happened to me last week.

Reboot and shutdown wont come back without removing battery

I have been rooted and using custom ROMs for over a year now on my note 4 but recently started having my TekXodus ROM crash occasionally. So I updated to the factory latest DOK2 using Kies and I have an issue where when I reboot or shutdown. When i do this I have to pull the battery out for a few minutes before it can boot again. I have tried factory restoring with Kies several times and still have the same problem. Root + custom ROMs also have the issue. Any ideas?
Similar problems in another thread. I'm still having issues although I've gone back to stock as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/help/note-4-major-slowdown-bugs-boot-loops-t3311297
People are starting to pop up everywhere with this issue, ROM's, stock, rooted, it doesn't seem to matter. It seems like it's either a software update they pushed to all carriers or maybe hardware failure of some kind. The batteries do seem to go bad fairly regularly around 9-12 months. That's fixable with that Anker 2x + wall charger kit, but if it's hardware failure for this it could get ugly.
Yeah mines getting worse. Gonna try to pick up a motherboard.

My phone died completely after a week of ongoing problems. Won't boot or anything any longer and I don't think its software related.. Let me know if you have any success picking up and installing a motherboard.
My Note 4 I bought a year ago was having this issue a couple months ago. Did the usual, factory reset, blah blah blah, was getting the mmc read fail error. Called tech support told them everything I did because I knew they would want me to do it so I headed them off at the pass. They said well it seems you did all the work for us and I had a replacement the next day for $5. Worked fine for 2 months and now it's doing it again so I'll be calling for another replacement tomorrow.
Strange thing is I wasn't getting the same mmc read fail error although I saw something similar only 1 time. This time though I did get a dm-verity verification (?) error. No idea what that even means.
What sucks is they really should offer me an upgrade at this rate but I have no interest in the Note 5 or the S6 without an sd slot or removable battery. Hoped to hold on to my N4 for at least another year.
where can we even buy motherboards for this note 4?
mine is dead as well! it's unfortunately out of warranty...obviously! i'm pretty sure it's a hardware failure!

Yep, my time w/ the note4 was good while it lasted. I purchased it for $350 back in october and was great. sold it "as is for parts" on ebay for $160 yesterday, and am done with samsung for a while. took that $160 and purchased a LG G2 that i'll have to use for another year or more. i was really getting used to the note's size and stylus features as well.

Good for you man! i really am gonna miss it too! i'll probably sell it for parts while i still can. i got a new nexus 6p that i really am enjoying as well!
I ended up getting a motherboard and replacing it. Worked out fine except I used a cheap lens cover replacement while I was at it and no my pictures suck. Not even sure if the actual is available anywhere.
