I haven't found anything short of a battery pull. They might not have implemented a OneX-style "hard reboot" button combination since that's possible here. then again, that back feels mightly flimsy; I don't wanna be pulling it off all the time.

That would require one to use the search button though.

lots of people dont even realize that this function is built-in so they dont realize that they can search for something like this.
I admit, prior to reading this thread, I didn't realize that there was built in screen shot functionality.
Is that rooted only or that's standard I thought that was ios but at the same time timing is kinda difficult

Rooting doesn't give you any "features", it only lets you grant special permissions to apps. The timing for screenshots is super easy.

Just hit and hold the home button then tap power. Easy

Note won't turn on when unlocking

OK so recently my phone has not woken up from when it is unlocked. I've tried waiting and I've tried pressing it harder, multiple times etc, but nothing happens. I just end up resorting to a battery pull. This has just been starting this past week. I am running stock gingerbread no root. Should I be concerned? Has anyone else experienced this with their note?

i guess no one else has this issue?
If you are running stock without root and you have this issue then you should be concerned. Does a battery pull fix it? Do you have some memory hogging apps running in the background? Have you tried a factory reset? All else fails contact ATT for a replacement.

Charging problem

So I unfortunately ended up with the charging bug.
When I put my phone In the wall charger it doesnt want to charge. The charging indicators all turn on but I still lose battery.
I've tested the cord and charger on my friends phone and they work. I've also put in a different battery with the same result. Also booted into safe mode.
Help?

Replace the phone?
I've never had that problem, so have no clue. But if rebooting and pulling the barry doesn't do it, I'd take it to sprint.
What's the rating of charger u are using?

Stock charger my friend.
No apps because it started on the aokp job build 8. I switched back to stick rom but even that didn't help

Yes I think u r right but you see, we guys are not professional or experts. So we can only suggest some possible solution my friend.
And if someone is in trouble, these possibilities can lead him/her to the solution of the problem..
I hope u understand...

I would try reverting back to stock, and if that doesn't work, then i would get a replacement. Sounds like a hardware issue.

htc brick..

I have an htc amaze. It was first boot looping into the htc logo. My friend then went to h boot and did a factory reset.. Now the phone won't turn on, is this s brick ? If so can someone help me out. I'm not familiar with htc ...
Was it rooted? Recovery? S-Off? Rom?
Soft brick from not allowing a proper boot. Install a stock ruu via hboot, that should fix it.

Never said it wouldn't power on, just said it won't boot and a soft reset wouldn't exactly brick a device now would it? Unless he's not telling us something.

To be fair, often times not turning on is the same thing as not booting up correctly to those who maybe aren't as tech savvy. TC just needs to be a little more specific.
