Thanks bro, that's good to hear, time for some receipt hunting! But has this ever happened to anyone?

[Ted_v2]

Thats a known problem.

[thejoshman1]

well its my first samsung / android phone and i don't do much with it just calls and messages so its totally unexpected, and it practically new! lost my faith in samsung....

Theyre known for bringing quick, feature packed devices to the market at a somewhat reasonable price, but tend to be weak on the build quality end. (funny enough, the phone that I got exchanged @ bmobile was a samsung also)

[thejoshman1]

The darn phone was working good, and just died, wth, I hope bmobile don't give me no trouble. If i can't find my receipts what else can I use? They must have some records.

same thing happens on the note1. I think its called a sleep of death. Its more prevalent on the s3 though.

Hey guys, seasons greetings,Can anyone help me? I have a stock Galaxy s3 which was bought new from bmobile a few months ago, yesterday morning i got up checked my emails locked it and put it down and 20 minutes later i went to check it and it was dead, no response what so ever, not charging or being detected on my computer, not powering on, any ideas? thanks for any advice.

If you bought it from Bmobile, return it.
from my experience, they usually are very good about exchanges and returns.

bmobile? nah man

this same thing happened with my s2..they refused to repair it because there was a small scratch on the chrome trim which they said "may have caused the phone to be in the state that it is in". was gonna pursue it further but decided that it was ultimately not worth the effort.

[ismithx]

Anyone knows how to root a galaxy tab 2?

I don't even have 15 apps and I got less than 500mb free on the internal memory. Can't even download certain apps that I had before and was working.

All apps are showing proper memory that are corresponding with the size from Google play.

clear app caches, clear google location history

[Ted_v2]

i deleted a few stuff. transfer some files and its working pretty good now.
holding off on the root till i get some time

[want2liqur]

Does anyone know of anybody selling a n7100 mainboard or changes the emmc chip???

[javishm]

That happened to me with an iPhone already.

[Jonathan_337]

Any N4 ROM suggestions ?

[M_2NR]

^a padna of mine swears by paranoid. I normally just stick to CM because its simpler.

[BrandoHD]

Any N4 ROM suggestions ?

If you're flashing ROM only, PA, Purity Cataclysm (personal favourite) and of course CM

If you're into trying different kernels as well, personally I will steer clear of CM (especially nightlies) they are using some closed sourced stuff from Codeaurora/Qualcomm that breaks AOSP.

[Trini Hookah]

Same here, idk why but never been a fan paranoid myself. I think I may have did a Dirty install thats why.

Jellybeer is teh s3x though

[M_2NR]

He was telling me it's better on nexus devices. I too tried it on my tab2 (well the pacman mod version) and i found it to be quite glitchy and lagged.

[Digimaco]

I'm looking for an app that can record my screen and doesn't require my device to be rooted. Any suggestions? I've read that KitKat is supposed to have a screen recording feature built in. I want to do some app demos.

[gfbl]

can anyone assist me??followed a youtube video and tried odin and motochopper to unlock an att i337 but no luck

You will have to use ADB if you don't want to be rooted I think, the apps I know of that do it require root, but to be honest, I have not really looked into it....

[Digimaco]

Yea it looks like I need to get figure out how to use ADB. No apps can do it without root as yet.

[Jonathan_337]

All those Roms look a little too.. Beta for me and I can't even find a stable 4.4.2 for PA.. Think I'll stay stock with xposed for now. But I'm having a weird issue where if I flash a kernel my phone keeps randomly rebooting... gradually increasing in the number of reboots over a couple days till it ends up in a bootloop. I need a custom kernel cause I wanna boost the audio out for when I'm playing music in my car.
