About 2 weeks ago my GPS would connect really slow. Today when i tried to use it wouldn't even connect. I tried wiping the caches and the SD card. I use Waze for my GPS. Anyone else experience this?

there's a fix in the general section that addresses this issue. Apparently it's a hardware issue where the tabs in your phone don't seem to make the connection to the antenna. the fix points out which connectors to adjust but requires you opening your phone. I've been experiencing this issue as well. I find massaging the top back right (when looking at the phone) seems to help but it's only a temp fix. I'm debating if I want to send the phone in for an RMA for that and a weird sim issue I've been experiencing.

Opening it isn't that difficult. Just follow the instructions and be gentle on the prongs when you pull them up.

I bought a husky multi tip "jewlers" screwdriver from Home Depot, best $10 I spent. Got the philips/standard one and the torques one. I use those to tear everything down. I say invest a little and keep em for years. But that's just me, I tear lots of things apart. If you want I can get you the husky product numbers off them.

2 sec GPS lock and no more sim issues plus 3 month warranty extended onto my phone. I'm fairly content, couldn't get anyone to give me any sorts of discounts on a Note 2 but I still love this phone.
Had this same problem - flashed a GB radio - everything is now working perfectly.

Why does my spen constantly register movements and button presses when I'm not in contact with the screen? I can just hover it over an icon and its like I pressed it or when drawing something and I pick up the pen and move it to the tools it's still acting like I'm drawing making random touch marks...
I've tried the ssid code to calibrate the s pen but no change...I even took off my screen protector ..no change...has anyone else experienced anything like this at all?? On an ICS rom btw..so any thoughts if its hardware or software...thanks

If the issue is the magnet in the pen itself, a sensitivity app would be a bandaid solution if it worked at all.

The past couple of weeks I noticed that every once in a while my phone would be in drive mode for no apparent reason. Well last night I realized it was the magnet in my nexus 7 case that was causing it. If you place the magnet on the back of the optimus g it activates driving mode. Don't know if there are any car accessories with magnets but was wondering if it could be programmed to open a different app. Don't know how useful it would be but just a thought.

Take a look at my girlfriends note 2, she was at work and plugged it in to charge and a few minutes later smelled burning and her phone was off.

Verizon note2? Wireless charging pins aren't exposed, elaborate?
If another model I'd guess some residue on the inside of the backing grounded the 2 pins? If you ever picked up an oily car battery you might know how little it takes.. >_>

Are you for real? Find a consumer-grade tablet anywhere that'll get run over by a car and survive before you continue spouting your useless bile. But that's par for the course with you on this forum, isn't it.

Well. After work I walked to my car and this little old lady was trying to carry pizza and her purse next to where I work. I set the tablet on my trunk and helped her to her car. I drove home and realized where I left my tablet... Drove back and looked in the parking lot and it wasn't there. I drove home again and thought it may be in the street if It stayed on for a bit. So I went back and sure enough it was on the speed bump ran over. I think I ran over it on my first trip to look for it.

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.
