My Note II Performed Seppuku Last Night - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I guess it was pissed off that I neglected it for the last few days.
Plugged it into the charger last night, heard the chime, and that was that.
Pulled it off this morning, it was very hot (top right, not battery) and it won't turn on at all.
Le sigh.

Seppuku (切腹?, "stomach-cutting") is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. Seppuku was originally reserved only for samurai. Part of the samurai bushido honor code, seppuku was either used voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies (and likely suffer torture), or as a form of capital punishment for samurai who had committed serious offenses, or performed for other reasons that had brought shame to them. The ceremonial disembowelment, which is usually part of a more elaborate ritual and performed in front of spectators, consists of plunging a short blade, traditionally a tantō, into the abdomen and moving the blade from left to right in a slicing motion.[1]

That sounds like a really slow way to die??

Not if done properly. There was always someone there to perform a decapitation right after the motion was performed. If done correctly there would be just enough skin left so that the head was still attached, just hanging like a flap.

Battery pull, different battery, battery charge.
Nada.
I don't think there is any saving it, as the top corner gets blazing hot when charging (and no, no charging screen).

I picture the N2 stabbing itself with the spen.

Heck at least you should still be under warranty. Only bad thing is that VZW only handles warranty for 30 days or some silliness. It may have to be shipped off to samsung somewhere.:crying:

I think they handle it for the full year (two if you have tec). They just send you a CLN phone and not a new one if its past 30 days.

Heh, you aren't alone.
This sounsd an awful lot like the SDS issue.

I thought my phone nuked itself once too. In a situation very similar to the one you describe. I plugged it in one night, fell asleep, and woke up late for work because my alarm didn't go off. I grabbed my phone and it was scary hot (like, melted electronics hot) so I unplugged it, pulled the battery and left it to sit and cool.
Turns out I had left GTA running all night so it had my processor and graphics ramped up all the way. Whoops : / I thought it was toast, but everything worked fine after it cooled

I'm gonna go crack a beer and pour a little out for yer homie!

Dang there are a lot of these. If it flew off a car at speed I can understand this but people have been spider-webbing their screens just from a 2 foot drop. Maybe they should rename "Gorilla Glass" to "Sissy Screen" or "Fairy Film".

i had a rubber case on it and it stick to the car and i didnt notice for miles, but then i took the highway and i just saw that coming off and stopped right in the highway just to see 3 trucks running over the phone and thats the result... :-(

Gorilla glass is not to make the glass stronger, It offers a more scratch resistant screen, it will hold a little better than regular glass but it wont be much.
My phone never leaves my hand, you can ax my mama that.
I don't know about you, but it's virtually impossible for me to forget a $500 device sitting on the hood of a car, let alone for it to even be on the hood of a car in the first place.
Calm, that really Sux man. My wife one time left her og evo on the roof of our car, and we drove off, LOL... Luckily, she had a case (a rubber one) on it. Well, we didn't notice it on the roof, and we drove off. Later, we were looking for it and we couldn't find it. She remembered leaving it on the hood. Sol. Anyway, a day or two later we get a call from some lady saying she found a EVO on the side of the road, and asking if we owned it. I told her yes, and that my wife left it on our roof of our car. Well, LUCKILY, nothing was wrong with it. No broken screen, no scratches, nothing! I was amazed..

[Q] Home button coming lose. [SGS2]

Hi guys,
I've noticed over the past few weeks that the hard button (home button) has been coming a bit lose on the right side.
It tends to make a squeaking sound when touched lightly however the button functions at 100%.
Anyone else notice the home button loosening a bit?
Some GS2s have firm and some have loose home button, so no need to panic as long as it works.
Apply a little pressure to the right side of the button. Does it eventually click in place? So that you no more have a loose button?

Yeah that works.... but eventually later on it comes lose again.
Would it be something underneath, the creaking sound its really pissing me off.
I had this, i sent it for repair which fixed it. However, 2 weeks later its loose again.

You're right. It's a buildquality thing.
I own mine a few months now, dropped it like 10 times and apart from a little chip in the upperlefthandcorner it still looks good, I don't use a case or anything.

i feel like i got the same thing on my s2
the button is not loose but it moves in place; hardly distinguishable though unless you use a magnifying glass
many reported having light leaking on the sides of the button, i don't have that,
i don't know if i should be happy or
phone is overall fine, its the closest you can get to perfect, with the exception of some varying degree of yellow tint, which i know will be resolved when the official 2.3.4/.5 rom release in my region.
other than that, handle with care, lol.
is it normal for there to be some flexibility when touching the home button, or is the home button suppose to stay in one place? I noticed that the home button moves around its housing a bit (i dont know if this is the right word to use)
if you get too picky about it you can sometimes hear a a minuscule squeak, but when pressing from an extreme corner.
let me know
I had this also but I was able to snap it back...

Dropped in water for about 2 seconds...

Well, I think I must be the first one to do this, but I dropped it in the toilet and quickly grabbed it afterwards. I left it in rice for 24+ hrs. The phone works fine, any long term damage that might have occured? The water sticker on the battery is full red, any other sticker I can check to see if it was full water damage?
I had dreams of rooting and overclocking but I think I won't take my chances on that.
Dood if it works, then it works
I had a water damaged phone once, but it kept on going
Your warranty is void tho...

I had an old htc phone that I dropped in water, and did the same thing. Instantly put it in rice, and it worked fine. Only thing, it had a keyboard, and one button took more force to push, but that was it. I think you are fine. I wouldn't worry about rooting our flashing custom roms. The room itself will have no effect on the phone. Either the hardware will work, or won't.

LOL I did the same thing with the Samsung UpStage once, nasty (sanitized the hell out of it but I couldn't shake the thought) luckily I was within my 30 days, I exchanged it >_>.
there was an 8gb sdcard works perfectly fine. It stuffed everything in rice.
Guess I spoke too early, the battery is holding 15min charge only, guess I gotta get a battery though.
About halfway through my contract, I ran my Mytouch3G through a full wash cycle. After about twenty minutes of searching through the house for the thing, I finally searched the washer, with dread, and my phone had a completely blank screen and was constantly vibrating.
Stuck the thing in rice for twenty hours and it didn't work. Freaked out for a second, then it dawned upon me to try my wife's battery in my phone. Picked up a battery for $7 on ebay and found absolutely nothing wrong with the phone.
Still works now even after I picked up a new phone on contract.
After that, I trust HTC hardware a lot.
I had the same problem, but now my phone is much better. The damage that I got is the sound when I turned on the music. The sound was horrible. But is getting better now

Oh my god. That gives me the chills. Poor phone 0.0
Anyway OP, I recommend getting the Chichitek batteries, they're pretty much same hold as the OEM ones and you can get two for the price you would pay for one OEM one. I have 2 of those and 3 OEM ones (had to replace my phone cause I smashed it and then the replacement one kept rebooting got a battery on both replacements, if we lived in the same area I'd give you one for free).
HTC hardware is very durable... reasonably. Remember the guy on YouTube that put his EVO 4G powered on in the bottom of a sink and filled it with water... and it continued to work?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ll_PkjeAgU&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL43F3A10B36DF661B
I watched that EVO video it gave me hope. Lol
Well I have used the phone regularly today and I got 12 hours with 45% left so battery might be okay? I might be paranoid but the phone isn't working as fast as before? I'll take your advice on that battery though.
O any 1clickroot app for this phone like the HTC hero?

LOL well I did clean it vigorously (Lysol, Purell etc.), I had intent on using it.
Plus I'm not so sure that admission would've went over too well.

Heat caused screen discoloration

First of all I want to point out that i'm not blaming anyone other than myself. I know it was my retarded act that caused this so no need to come in the thread and say it was my fault and that i'm king of tardland.
So, the other night. I left a 3d game on my phone and plugged it into my charger and then fell asleep with the mofo under my pillow. I also have a hybrid case on it if that makes any difference for everyone to know. A layer of silicon, and an outer of plastic.
AHHHH. I wake up the next morning, the phone had not throttled or shut off, it was too hot to touch, so I immediately killed it, unplugged it and waited for it to cool. When I booted back up, it looked like-a-this!
Here on google plus, shouldn't require a login
You can see a central square where the proc is that got hottest and then it fans out from there. Crazy stuff.
Like i said, I shouldn't have fallen asleep with the damn thing under my pillow, this i know. But damn samsung, people be fallin asleep.... people be fallin asleep! Does the stock kernel not have a thermal shutdown?
It is getting replaced free of charge of course, but I wanted this info to be out there so no one else falls asleep on theirs. Thanks for reading guys!
wait, so you left the screen on ALL night, under your pillow?
damn dude. lol
and i heard that they do shut down at a certain temp! that's weird it didn't..that sucks
That sucks. How many hours would you say it was under the pillow?

The on board temp sensor should trump all other settings and turn the phone off.
Are you running stock? I have a setcpu profile that will throttle down the cpu if it gets too hot. However, the reason the screen didn't go off is because you had a game open and since it thinks you are playing or watching something it will not time out.
Glad you are getting a free replacement!
I have had that happen with the S3 before, but was not a resource hungry app running and was running at 384 instead of full speed.
Had it with a tablet as well and was a resource hungry game. No display discoloration though, but likely due to a bigger footprint to displace heat better.

Actually, that could be entirely important if said rom had a custom kernel.

I turn it off immediately and let it bake in the hot sun for about an hour (Palm Springs area).

Out I go and I pull my poor DNA out of my pocket.
I turn it off immediately and let it bake in the hot sun for about an hour (Palm Springs area).
I fire it up, and it's totally fine. SaWeet!
10hrs later, and all is groovy.
Love my DNA. Hate how stupid I was!

Nice!
I had a baby chew on my phone and it bootlooped for like 12 hours because of the drool. Then when it finally turned on the speakers were all effed up and it wouldn't hold a charge. I was filing an insurance claim when I heard a text message go through and immediately cancelled my claim. Now everything is fine and dandy. That was the worst 20 hours of my life (not really, but it sucked).

20 year reunion. Man. I just graduated 2 months ago. Put's life in perspective I suppose. I haven't even been on this earth 20 years.

It goes by crazy fast.
One day, you'll just be out doing your thing and it'll hit you like a ton of bricks...
You'll say to yourself: Holy crap! I'm almost 40!
Since when did senior citizens get involved with android? I thought you guys were still trying to figure out how to use your VCRs?

Mine hasn't been submerged, but splashed with water and it's still held up fine. My NFC decided to stop working for about 2 months afterward, but now it's working fine. Not really sure the two were related though.
I think the HTC Butterfly and DLX have a waterproof seal on the inside, but i'm not sure the DNA does, but still very resistant. It's no Xperia Z, but enough that you can pop it in a bag of rice and fire it up again, no problems whatsoever!

On a side note I just got the dna a couple of days ago at 0 dollars and am glad to see this phone is pretty sturdy

I'm 37 and I just got this phone a few days ago by adding a line to my account so I can keep my unlimited data plan. I gave my Rezound to my 16 year old for her birthday. So, yea, we old people lurk here too. NOW EAT YOUR VEGETABLES!

My DNA also got drenched so much there was fog on the screen, while in my pocket in a torrential rain storm (in remote India, for work). After a few days, all well again. An amazing phone, indeed. It's kept me happy and I've only momentarily had HTC One urges...
BTW, early 50s here. And I have an S-OFF, rooted DNA running Newt's GPE ROM on the T-Mo network. Pretty damn hip for an oldster, if I say so myself. But I have to admit that everything I learned I got from the youngsters here on XDA. Thanks to you all!

It has a yellow rubber gasket that seals the two halves of the case from water intrusion. The only places water can permiate are the USB port (which, unless yours broke or you removed it, is sealed fairly well with a rubber gasket on the cover), the headphone jack (also fairly well sealed inside) and the speakers (largest opening). I quick dip and water can't get in.
Weather sealed for your wallet's protection.
I was standing at the edge of a pond fishing and dropped mine in the water for like 2 seconds, I've probably never moved that fast in my life lol. Quickly shook it to get whatever water out and it never skipped a beat. Thank God!!!
well I ain't gone lie. I was drunk as all get out last weekend. I was all about using my phone in the pouring rain. well, it was pouring, I was drunk, I was walking in the rain to my car, taking pictures and texting and calling people lol. only thing I did was hold my finger over the headphone jack. a good 20 minutes walking In the rain... success like a boss!

Good story for us old folk, need to get my reading glasses though. Jk. I wonder if they make a little rubber plug that could go in the headphone jack.

They do. Most of them are decorative goofy looking baubles, but if you Google "3.5mm dust cap" there are some plain plugs out there pretty cheap.
Oh, and for the record to everyone else on this thread?
I'm 47
