Bought a note from a fellow xda-er, and I find him to completely trustworthy when he said it worked perfect for him, but when I received it, I cannot get the spen to work no matter what I do. Ive tried pressing the button, not pressing it, tap and hold, short taps, long taps, and absolutely no response. touch screen works flawlessly. according to the receipt, this thing is less than a week old lol. Its my first experience with a note, and I love it, but Id also like to use the spen xD
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I do not have an att account, so Im not sure what they would do if I went in and asked them about it.

Just yesterday my home button started making a clicking sound. It has been dead silent and now it clicks kinda like a mouse click (not as loud) whenever I press it. If I mash hard on it it will be silent for a few minutes, but then it start clicking again. The Wife's phone is quiet.... both bought same day. Anyone else experience this? It is annoying me as it makes the phone sound cheap, and makes me feel it is going to fail on me based on almost the same scenario with my iPhone 4 that did fail after making a random noise one day.

Same thing here. Had the phone about a month and this started. Phone is rooted, so taking it back to Verizon is out. I just ordered a white home button online. Supposedly this phone is super easy to take apart and replace parts. We'll see.

Mine isn't rooted and I have the insurance + warranty on it. I may call and see what they say. A few guys around me in my group here at work don't have this issue. I've had this phone since launch day, FWIW.

I would definitely bring it back then. I just don't want to go through the hassle of unrooting and possibly getting an ME7 phone that does not have a working recovery as of yet.

Rooting is not important to me. My phone is a work device and security reasons we can't have a rooted phone (B.S. if you ask me), so I play along nicely and do all my updates and keep it unmodified (except for developer access).

I just called and ordered a replacement. I am not worried about refurbs as a lot of the times they are better than new in my experience in being in the industry for a few years. I pressed the button down and stuck the corner of a business card in and ran it around the circumference of the button with a little bit of the card going up under the case a bit. This seems to have resolved the issues.... but just in case i have an overnight-ed replacement coming tomorrow.
Never mind. It's back. Glad I ordered a replacement now.

I did this as well. Really wedged the business card on all sides and got the card up under the button. Hasn't clicked for over two weeks now. Something from my pocket must have gotten under there.

Don't worry, there is a fix!! I had this same problem on my S4 and I have horrible OCD so this was not kosher. I found that the cause for the clicking is the button sticking, causing it to click when you press on it. All you need to do is get an electronics cleaning cloth, a business card, and some hand sanitizer. This will save you from having to send the phone in for repair or get a refurbished device.
Put some hand sanitizer on the cleaning cloth. Not too much, just enough to make it damp.
Put the cloth over the business card
Use the combination of the cloth and the card and using a little pressure, stick it between the button and the case and go all the way around the button.
If you didn't fix it the first time around, repeat until you are able to press the button without a click.
Note -- If you are mental, and use too much hand sanitizer you will damage your phone. You just need the cloth to be damp. I use hand sanitizer because it dries extremely fast. I am NOT responsible if you screw up your phone.
Happy cleaning
I have this as well! I thought it was because I went to the beach and got a tiny grain of sand beneath the button but I guess it happens to everyone!

recovered!
turns out there realy isnt an app you can push onto the phone that will locate it. plan b doesn't work for note2.but finding the guy who was at your house. beating him with a small bat in the face until he reveals the buyer of the phones location then going there with your a .38 and knocking on the door does.
btw for anyone who has not done it yet. install some kind of tracking app right now. you dont want to know what its like to loss it.

most phones being made now have either on screen or just one button and i would take the on screen over the one button
thats why i said maybe. but the phone does have everything i could want so im most likely going to get it

I bought a S3 from someone and he said that the phone needs to be re-flashed. when the phone turns on, it boots up fines. blue light at top, Samsung boot sound, the touch works as u can hear the water effects thing to unlock the phone. he claims he tried the LCD in another S3 motherboard and the LCD works, I don't know if he's telling the truth or not. Can a software cause the screen to not turn on. doesn't turn on at all. I flashed a stock rom with ODIN and did factory reset in recovery mode. i can also go in download mode as well. the phone works well, i used the POWER + HOME buttons to take snapshops on the screen to kinda browse through the phone, everything works, WIFI, bluetooth. it's not picking up signal tho. it's saying "Not registered on network" when i try to make a call, but it recognizes my sim card and stuff. anyways I don't know if he indeed went into the phone's root system files and messed something up or not. please help !

OK guys good new . i was messing around a lil bit with the power button and by pressing it for a while before inserting battery and also pressing the power button for a few seconds after inserting, playing around both of those option eventually the screen turned on to samsung galaxy s3 screen then it went blank again. also the menu n back soft keys lighted up and started working again. after removing the battery and reinserting, went back to its original issue. atleast now i know the LCD is indeed working . maybe it is a firmware/software issue after all. please someone help!

you sure ? because when the phone boots up it stays on all the time, it never reboots. or shutdown. i copied some songs over to it and was listening through my headphone for about 30 mins. i start to feel sleepy so i managed to pause it by randomly touch places of the screen till the music stopped. i fell asleep and when i woke up back, i was able to resume the song i was playing. by can a power button cause this ? please help
If the pwr button is stuck, it might restart on itself or not turn on.

Maybe the connector is faulty? The connector to the lcd. Maybe tats why it can receive it sometimes but sometimes not.

$100. i have the problem still. it would stay on for a while (the longest i was using it for with the screen on for about 4 or 5 hours straight today, but it went blank again, i would have to heat the motherboard again to make it come on back. any suggestions and / or solutions ? please someone help. its not a software for sure. it a mobo prob
So like the title says, mi power button is dead, it has no more that tactile feedback and I cant turn on the screen, anyway volume keys are working... is there a way I could turn on my phone in order to get data back from the internal memory? Thanks.
Mmm... take off the back cover and press the button. Also, you can configure the buttons to turn on the screen with volume keys. And maybe, will work again with another back cover

Maybe try plugging it in does it turn on when you charge it? There are apps you can install to tap screen and it will turn on.

jmora99- the actual hmm sensor(?) is smushed, its not the back cover... there are like little bubbles that activate the buttons actions... the one for power on is no longer there, I've already order a replacement but that is likely to arrive in a month....
matsuyamakaze- The phone is already turned off I cant turn it back to on again, maybe via im able to change the buttons actions via ADB? hope you can help me with this, thanks xd

I'm having the same issue - I've configured my volume keys to wake up the screen as the power button on my phone sometimes works but not all the time - not sure yet to try replacing the back cover or something else...
I also have this Problem, i put some Paper under my case for more responsibility, Works great
My power button is also dead. Among other things. This phone turned into utter crap.

That actually worked for me.Thanks!
That happens when the manufacturer doesn't give us a home button, a fingerprint sendor and no dt2w feature
My power button also died over a couple of months. Factory reset, removed the case, next day I took it back to where I bought it.. technician checked it and showed me it's working fine (!?) It's still working fine a few days later.
