[Q] Help. Replaced Glass, Poor Battery and WiFi - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I replaced my glass (the phone dropped on the bottom right corner and the glass shattered). I ordered replacement glass and fixed the glass, but once I put the phone back together again, the WiFi connection has been horrible even though the signal level is great, and the battery drains quickly, even with the screen off.
What I am observing is that the WiFi seems to be noisy, so the channel shows a strong signal (and it can find the SSID), but if I try to connect, it will either give me a "Unable to Authenticate" message, or I have to be right next to the router (or within about 3-5 feet).
The battery also drains at about the rate of 10-15%/hour, as if it is constantly on, even though I did not touch the circuit boards.
Are there any experts who can advise me? The touch screen works perfectly, and the phone part works, but the battery drain is a total dealbreaker. I would like to repair the phone, but if I cannot, I will purchase a new one as I love this phone!
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,
B.D.

I would take the back plate off and check if any connections didn't come loose. I know when I took mine off 2 connectors came loose.

SGS2 display became completely unusable after dropping from 2feet.

My 2yr old daughter dropped the mobile from a height of around 2 feet yesterday.
Initially everything seemed to work fine.I thanked the back case for saving it but After a few minutes,there was a strong pink spot near the top of the display, And then slowly it turned into blue and it spread towards the entire display. Now currenly mobile is completely black..
I can see that its turned on but i could not see anything.
So changing the display is the only way out?
I had a lot of phones before,right from N70 to 5800.All these phones took lot of abuse and still working fine. The hype about Gorilla glass made me assume that it would be much much stronger than any other phones i had used so far.But completely disappointed.
My brother recently replaced his SGS1's display after it fell from a 3ft table.Gorilla glass broke.I could not believe it.
Gorilla glass has nothing to do with anything. The display has obviously been damaged. You'll need to either return it to Samsung or have a go at replacing the screen yourself (plenty of how to's online).

Gorilla glass is scratch-resistant. It's not scratch-proof, uncrackable or unbreakable.
Still surprises me that people are surprised that bad things can happen to a phone when you drop it.. If I dropped you horizontally from a height of 3 feet, you'd feel it - worse if it was head first
Easier said than done, but keep your little girl away from your S2. I gave my boy an old Nokia with stickers and glitter all over it - can't get him off it now
Damn, you got pretty unlucky and got one of those ****ty units, it happens more often than we can think.. :/
My first SGS2 didn't even last a night : when I got it and got home, I plugged it into the mains after having almost completely discharged the 40% or so that was left in the stock battery provided with it, turned off the display so it wouldn't take the whole night to charge (I wanted to toy around with it some more, what else ? ) and when I checked back on it I couldn't even touch it, it was so damn hot that it burned my fingertips and I had to drop it back down on the desk..
I quickly unplugged it, got my infrared thermometer, and in the 5-10 minutes it took me to find this thermometer it had gotten back down to a mere (!) 86°C (measure taken on the camera lens, that's the spot that gets the hottest usually. It has not taken me more than an hour after first unpacking it to notice how hot this unit can get at times, and soon noticed that the camera lens was the weak spot. Not hard to figure out that the CPU was very near to it, and the service manual confirmed that when I got ahold of it), so it had to be at least 100°C when I unplugged it.. :/
And of course when it had cooled back down enough I tried it, but it wouldn't power up, ever again... Luckily, Orange replaced it for free and under 24hrs -but it was some luck that it was completely and irreparably fried (at this time I didn't yet have a jig), because otherwise they'd have seen that I had already rooted it -in the few hours that I had it I had found the time to do this, at the office when I was bored...
The replacement unit I got instead never overheated that much (though it too can get pretty hot at times, but that's usually a sign of something going on inside the system, and tells me to check the logcat asap to see what's going on), even though it's a chinese-made unit like the first one, but in the 5 months I've owned it it got its fair share of unvoluntary drop-downs (on a hard tiling floor and usually from 2.5-3ft high, the height of my desk). So far it has survived at least a good 10 falls 'and it's probably closer to 15-20 actually) but it's holding fast, no trouble to mention (except those that I myself cause.. lol Can't count the times I've had to reflash a ROM anymore, just because I fiddled with the wrong setting in root mode And of course, Murphy's law helping, that always happens at 2-5AM when I'm fiddling with it before going to sleep, and I have to get downstairs again to get my jig and my flashing gear hooked to the computer and find a suitable stock ROM to start over, sometimes even having to repartition the whole damn contraption, and wasting away the precious few hours of sleep I could've had if I had given up earlier... But "****up and error" has always been my usual way of learning )...

EVO 4G LTE wont' stop vibrating.

I was very happy to get my new phone, tossed on a screen protector, gave it a change, put it in it's nice new case. Then today it started vibrating. Non-stop. It kept vibrating even after I killed the power. Even after I did a factory reset. Still vibrating.
What I discovered is that if you put a little bit of pressure on the back of case about a half inch below the led flash, it makes some kind of mechanical connection causing the vibraion motor to activate. In my case it didn't take much pressure at all, and would often "stick" like that.
I had to take the cover off and massage the plastic a bit to get it to stop vibrating at me. It will still get stuck if I apply a bit of pressure on the back of the case.
Did I get a lemon, or does anyone else have this issue.

I think you have a lemon that wont make lemonade. You're still under warranty, so why not just send it to a sprint repair store?
Try pulling the battery
Maybe it the screen protector touching the soft keys...

Seriously, that's the first thing I wanted to do when the problem started. *smirk* That was a bit frustrating. I thought I was going to have to wait until the motor draining my battery. Sounds like I'll be taking it to the store. Annoying. Oh well, I'm making up for the perfect luck I had buying the original EVO on launch.

Hopefully not a design issue and just a lemon.
I've had screen protectors do weird crap if they have tension on them. Pretty rare these days though.
I'd try removing screen protector (but I hate to see you waste one if that's not it).
Also if you hold volume down it will vibrate. Not sure if it will be continuous.
You might stopp fussing with it and get swapped out, when it's easy to show the problem they should replace it on teh spot.
Newest HTC evo LTE also vibrates nonstop even with power off
Same problem as noted. I have this HTC evo LTE 4 months
No screen protector.
Phone was on bedside night table charging when it wakes me up at 4AM on a Sunday with the nonstop vibrating. Powering off did not stop the vibrations.
Any suggestions
Going to necro rez this thread to share my experience with an identical issue.
Couple weeks ago I noticed that once in a while the vibration motor of my Evo 4G LTE (bought in June 2012) would turn on for a second or so for no particular reason (no incoming notifications). Several days later the motor started vibrating constantly, even when the phone was powered down. Taking off the back cover and "massaging" the area around the camera LED and headphone connector would slow down the rotation speed and sometimes completely stop it, but it would always start rotating again in minutes/hours. Putting the back cover on would always start the motor again.
I took the phone to the Sprint store for repair. The tech said he had never seen this issue before, but was quickly able to figure out that there was a short circuit in the two-pin connector for the vibration motor leads. Luckily, he had an extra connector, so I was out of the store in about 15 minutes with a perfectly working phone. Who knew I didn't have to RUU and S-ON, the guy didn't even turn it on
I'm having this issue as well. Exactly as described in OP. Pull the plastic cover and no more vibration, just the slightest pressure towards the camera and it starts again.. sucks.

Like I said in the post above yours, might be a very simple repair that's worth a trip to a Sprint store.
Replaced vibration motor worked for me
I believe someone else mentioned on another site they replaced the vibration motor and the phone stopped vibrating all the time.
That is what worked for me. Took about 10 minutes. I had an old Evo LTE that was not working (glad I kept it) and removed the vibration motor assembly from it and swapped it for the one in my working phone.
All is well now. FYI...If you don't know what the motor looks like search for HTC Evo LTE vibration motor.
They are also being sold on Ebay for about $6 if you don't have one handy.
Thanks for the help, viva la Internet!:good:
I have the same problem. it is so annoying

[Q] battery getting bigger (literally)

Hi, although I've been reading around the forums for like a year now, this is my first post.
----------Story:
Recently (about a month ago) I started to notice a dark smudge on my phone's display. Its very light and hard to see, but when I notice it (often) its very bothersome. Its like half an inch from the right, right in the middle. I googled about it for a while, and apparently it has to do with the amount of pressure applied to the glass. This was hard to believe to me, because I take care of my phone like if it was a baby.
Anyways, being bummed about it. I move on living. And just in my daily phone use, i decide to take off the battery cover for a reason I can't remember, I did this with the display on, and I noticed that while I was lifting the battery cover, the smudge area of the display started to glow in colors, like when you apply too much pressure on the glass. And this got me curious. I started pressing different parts of the phone, and noticed that the smudge area goes crazy when i press right under the capacitive buttons. And the plastic frame on said area. After this I did bought the story about the display being damaged by too much pressure. Anyways, everything changed just a few minutes ago.
I was trying to free up the most RAM possible, so, looking around on the settings, i got into developer options and accidentally got curious and messed with something that froze the phone. I decide to take out the battery, and I find myself again with the battery sorta.. Sticking out a little, like when you lift the battery to take it off but not completely. This is something I had noticed months ago, maybe last April or May. Well since it really bothered me because the battery just wouldnt go all the way in, i decide to inspect it. And note that i have done that before, the first time i tought that it was normal, the second time i tought that it was the shape of the phone. But today it hit me. Thats not normal! The battery is bigger. Like, right in the middle, the battery has a litte bump on both sides, like when you bake a cake and it grows, well, a bump just like that. But its hard to seem really hard to see. But somehow I could feel it in the hand, and I decided to put it on a flat surface and it is indeed true. The 4 corners don't touch the surface at the same time, not even pushing it down. And I remember it used to back when I bought the phone a year ago.
And that's not all, the worse part is, that I realized that the bump of the battery aligns perfectly with the smudge on the display. So it must be it!! The battery applied pressure from underneath, causing the display to touch the glass. And as i checked around the phone, turns out that the glass is slighly getting detached from the lower area (battery area).
Maybe it wasn't my fault, but I feel so guilty for not noticing earlier. I'm really worried, as I have very poor battery life, and I fear the display getting damaged even further. Oh, and also. I noticed that all the issues I saw on Google about the smudge on the display, are in the middle, half an inch from the bottom just like mine. What if its the same battery problem?
-------- question:
Is that really whats going on? And what should i do to resolve this problem?
I was really paranoic the moment I realized that the battery was messing up the display. So I rushed here looking for help. Thanks in advance.
My device is an HTC EVO 3D, (VM), Running CM 10.1 WFTN, and the battery is stock.
I Think You have to go to the Maintenance .. Since Its Not A Software Problem the phone should be taken to a technician .
I Hope They Will solve your problem there & Your Phone Would Work Again . :good:
You should replace the battery before it cause any more problems.
this kind of stuff usually happens then the batteries are overheated or overcharged multiple times. do you leave the phone charging overnight? or maybe using a cover which acts as insulation.
Fixed!

Yes. I have my charger plugged almost 24/7 because of the poor battery life, and I let it overnight all the time. And yeah the phone gets very hot when I use tethering or any graphic intensive game for a long time. (Which is often). I think I overuse this phone.
And the cover is just a Trident Perseus (siliccone).
Anyways, i will replace the battery soon, since i found that with the battery cover removed, the smudge goes away. i assume that the battery being forced in by the back cover, causes the battery to apply pressure to the display from the inside, making it touch the glass which causes the smudge. For now i will use my phone with the back cover a little open on the bottom so the battery doesnt get pressed in. While i get myself some replacement batteries. As soon as i get the battery replacement ill say how it goes. I needed the raplacement anyways. I only get up to 6 hours of battery life, and thats changing the governor to powersave. Which is obviosly not good. I guess the battery just went bad.
silicone covers a bad particularly if you have heavy usage. I would recommend you always remove the cover when you play heavy games or use tethering
thanks for letting me know. i'll remove it when necessary. or maybe ill just get a non-silicone case. hopefully all this will increase the life-span of my next battery.

[Q] Wifi Signal is Consistently Weak Unless I Squeeze the Phone; Hardware Issue?

Hi,
I've been having a somewhat mysterious problem with the wireless internet (Wi-Fi) signal on my SCH-1545, hopefully someone here can help me find a solution.
Details:
At rest, my wi-fi signal is weak, regardless of which network or router is producing the signal.
I use an oversized Anker 7800mAh battery, which adds a considerable amount of weight and bulk to my GS4.
I am currently running a recent snapshot release of Cyanogenmod (11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-jflte). The last time I updated was few weeks ago, but my wifi issue began sometime early this week. Thus, it seems unlikely that the ROM is to blame. For what it's worth, my baseband version is 1545VRUAMDK.
Oddly, after some poking around, I've discovered that applying pressure to the back of the phone near the lock button seems to increase the quality of my wifi connection. For example, at rest right now my phone shows a 30% signal; when squeezed in the aforementioned manner, the signal jump s immediately to 55-60%.
I suspect that there may be some fault with the wifi antenna connector, or with the antenna itself.
My best theory right now is that a mishap or fall with this bulky battery installed may have delivered a shock to the phone's hardware beyond what it is designed to withstand. Consequently, it seems that the wifi system was somehow compromised. I've tried cleaning the wifi contacts as suggested here[1] .
Has anyone had this problem? Can anyone offer a solution?
I can't go on using my phone like this, and to get a replacement will be quite costly. However, if I do end up getting a replacement, I have my eyes on a LG G3
Thanks for your help!

Have your tried doing a factory reset? I know this is a pain in the butt but maybe it will put your mind at ease. Have you dropped the phone or anything that would cause the antenna to suddenly become loose? Is your connection bouncing up and down or is it consistenly just staying low? Also before a factory reset try getting Wifi Analyzer from the app store and check to see whats going on. Just sounds rather buggy that it suddenly started happening.
Same thing been happening to mine just recently. Seems like when I squeeze the battery cover the wifi signal is stronger for a limited amount of time.

If you squeeze your phone and it affects signals take off battery cover and try tightning all the little screws around the phone with the battery out.. might help just saying
Thanks for your suggestions folks, but I still seem to be in a pickle.

I tried a factory reset, didn't seem to help according to Wifi Analyzer (thanks for the app suggestion). As I said in my original post, I fear that drop may have caused this problem: since I use a heavy extended battery, I expect the damage caused by any fall would be magnified.

I attempted this as well - I removed the back cover and ensured all the ribbon cables and antenna cables were making a firm connection, and then I tightened all the cover screws. Nothing seems to have helped. Concurrent with my previous statement, I fear one of the modules (specifically the wifi/bluetooth SIC) on the motherboard may have become slightly dislodged from a random fall.
Does anyone know of a way I can test this theory or get it fixed if such is the case?

i'm in the same boat, my phone is exeriencing the exact same issue. I've got a new back plate on order, hopefully replacing that and the wifi/bluetooth antenna will resolve it.

[Q] Battery loosing power - Battery Depleted?

Hello all, I am here to see if anyone can break this down for me.
Recently my phone's battery status has been, well, acting weirdly. For instance, let's say the phone says it has 36% left, shut it down, turn it back on, it says it has 24% left, but then a minute later zoom back up to 32%. This got me wondering if it was my battery depleted. The phone it's self is over 1 and a half years old. Possibly 2, so it wouldn't be surprising to see it is depleted.
Even if it isn't depleted, what's with my phone dying in 2-4 hours with Data Connection on? I mean, when it's on Airplane mode it hardly uses any battery at all, minus 5% in 6-8 hours of on-time. But with the mobile data connection on it uses 30-40% in 1 hour. This is strange.
The photo describing my issues above are included. You will notice a huge drop and spike back up, this is where the battery says it is at a high percentage then goes down 5-12% then back up. Before it was only 5%, but as time went on this difference got bigger. Now it's 5-15% of battery lost.
In one instance I have the battery at 17%, then all of a sudden it drops to 11% seconds after taking the 17% screenshot. You can also notice the huge drop in the history. Can someone describe what's happening?

Has the device been dropped or encountered any moisture? Sounds like it could be a Hardware/software problem....but like you said there could be a 50/50 chance that it is the battery Tho......there is replacement batterys you can purchase online and you can dissasemble the phone pretty easily to repair/replace the battery

I've dropped it a few times, but this was on soft terrain (EX: Bed, Pillows, etc.). I only dropped it twice on hard or rough terrain (EX: Kitchen Floor, Sidewalk, etc.) but it had a case on. I dropped it once on the floor of my kitchen and it impacted the right-lower corner of the phone, the case was severely chipped, and there is a noticeable graze (is what I can describe) into the phone where it impacted, when you feel your finger over it, you can feel the damage that happened. It was right under the microphone, but nothing was damaged (the phone was still working fine). The second time for some reason my muscles in my arms said "Nah, taking a break" (when I was giving my phone to my friend) and my hand opened and my phone went flying into the street (still with this hard case on, the same one that was chipped), I picked it up quickly and the back of the case was entirely scratched bad. It also impacted hard on the lower-left side corner of the phone, a chunk of the case broke off. But no damage was done to the exterior of the phone.
If by moisture you mean water (or any liquid), then yes. I have spilled water on it before, but not a lot, just a few drops. This was on the screen though, so I'm not sure if anything "would" happen.
