I can not watch my satalite TV in my room while talking to someone on my Galaxy II !
The TV signal interference is so bad that the sat says "No signal" and the reception is almost gone. Once I put the phone out of the room - all is back to normal.
No other phones, including Galaxy S i9000, do not corrupt the TV signal.
What is that?
Is this a specific glitch of i9100?
new one on me.
got no issues being on the phone when im watching sky tv here.

Kinda new issue to me too. I've already changed two custom ROMs and still the same corrupted picture.
I even start wondering if SGS II is in fact safe for human! I mean...you should've seen the TV screen all going crazy and goofy once you start talking on the phone
Interesting.... I will do some experiments to see what I come up with... Can u let me know what frequencies ur sat tv is using?

Ok, my sat receiver says: 12326 MHz.
It's in Russia, "HTB+" channel provider
old news.... ntv+ fella - get a new LNB...
most 2100mhz (3g) and 5ghz (wireless-n) devices affect badly screened heterodynes in cheap Ku-band sat devices....

in my case that would be the receiver in my hotel room, i guess?
strange, that SGS I does not effect it in any way.
Idk... My SkyHD is affected by ipad's 3g reception, and galaxy s2's, but not iphone's and not by wireless-n router...
But indeed, problem is known.. It also may come down to quality of sat cabling and power filter effectiveness...
off: are you in moscow ?

Moving to Q&A
I've done countless tests trying to tweak the AT&T Note to get better data speeds on T-Mobile, but it appears the best solution may be the simplest.
Tools required:
Propane torch
Hammer
9ft (3m) 18 gauge wire
Ok, forget the tools list, get some aluminum foil from your moms kitchen drawer and some sissors and start cutting some pieces like I show in the pics below. It's trial and error, but very easy and requires no special tools or mods. The foil size and placement is very subjective to how you hold your phone and the type of case you have. There may not be a one design for everyone, but I'm hoping with more folks testing we can get closer to optimal.
FYI, this works due to one of two priciples, detuning the stock antenna or by becoming a passive radiator. I dont have the tools or rf credentials to figure out which it is. Who really cares anyway?
I've attained dowload speeds of 9500kbps and upload speeds up to 2600kbps.
PS: Don't blame me if Mom yells at you for using all her foil!
i can't wait to try
this, i hope it works for me.

This is with the small strip of foil on the bottom, as in the pic.

Does the brand of the foil matter? Lol j/k...can't wait to get out of the office and buy some foil on my way home.

What's really funny is all the detailed effort I put into strategically placing strips right on the antenna foils underneath the screw cover to find the sweet spot, for it only to fail once the screw cover was re-installed. A real pain, considering how much better the external foil works. The key is to let the foil touch the metal shell under the back cover as you snap it back on.
I think this pretty much will prove that its not the radio, but in fact just the antenna design once and for all.

Omg.....sheer genius.....it really worked. I cant believe it. Im getting the same speeds as my T-Mobile T989 Galaxy S2 got again!
I normally struggled to hit 800kbps down and 30kbps up. Hitting over 2Mbps down and averaging 300-500kbps up now!!
It was such a simple solution!

The amazing thing is you dont even have to unscrew anything or glue anything.
Just lay the foil strips down and snap the back cover on
I did testing in several parts of my house. Even areas that previously didnt get almost any reception, were good.
Again. Amazing lol!

Windmobile can go up to as high as 8 Mbps down, and 300ish Kbps up on a SGS2 T989
but on my NOTE, the highest i ever got was 3 Mbps down, in the same spot were my T989 gets 8 Mbps down
so this thin foil trick will be very interesting if it works.
then i can finally dump my SGS2 and use my G.NOTE as a full time phone
i just got my S3 and i m so worried and so sad people!
i got the pebble blue s3. i have issues with my screen. i ran the screen test and found the same dark spots on my screen when screen is black. there are lots of them. i dont have nice camera to take pic of those dots. they are really annoying because i surf the internet a lot and these dots are very visible specially in the dark!
the other issue is something with the viewing angle. when i hold the device right next to my eyes (as we all do most of the times) the screen seems to be more yellowish and the colors seem to be alot washed away! but when i change the viewing angle like just a little, i mean when i tilt the device just a little the colors get normal the way they should be!
the next thing is the pink tint. in the browser the white pages are EXTREMELY PINK! yes EXTREMELY PINK! that happens at the automatic brightness!
when viewing the black color on the sceen, when the capacitive touch buttons are on the light of the menu button seems to leave its light on the screen. and the blacks are NOT AT ALL BLACK!!!
people i am so tensed and worried! can someone help me out of these problems? i have read that the white S3 does not have any of this problem is it true? i have also read that the dark spots are because of the glu used and those would go away with time, but i dont believe in that! should i send the device to claim warranty and get it repaired? pls pls pls some one help me! i have spent all my money i had saved for the past 4 months for this set and i even sold my Galaxy Note for this! i am so much tensed! pls help me guys!
well jumping off a bridge will ease ur pain
You got a defective unit it happens. So send it back or get it repaired / exchanged. You spent a lot of money you should get a product that works as intended without defects. The sooner the better you'll be much happier. Best advice I can give you. All without the need to jumping off a bridge or if you do hope that you that you land on kyan to break your fall.

The block splotches are absolutely not indicative of a bad display.
They are present on virtually every OLED screen, ranging from the Nexus One's, to the PlayStation Vita's, to the Samsung Galaxy S3's.
I can't speak for your other issues, but people need to understand the splotches are common on pretty much any OLED. Some can see them easily, some seem to be unable to, but it does not mean the panel is defective.
Why are you on here? I see you just joined the site recently. How about you learn to be polite and if you can't, then leave.

yeah u r right. i guess my set is faulty. but i thought this might be something that would get ok with time. but that does does not make any sense. if those dots were something related to the glue, those should have been vanished by now as the set is old now. i mean it should have been produced at least like 1 or 2 months ago.
man i am ruined! i feel really so so bad! i just got up its 7 here in the morning and i am so badly hurt! and great news is that today is complete shutter down strike here in my city Karachi. so all the market and whole of the city is shut down. so i cant go to the store and return the device!

You have to admit though that it was funny
I use an app called dead pixel test, and it allows you to cycle through several different solid coloured screns, like all white, all black, red blue etc. No probelms with my screen, but I have a screen protector on it now.
Does yours have a screen protector that could be affecting it? Otherwise just return it as faulty.
I also have the pebble blue and screen is amazing. No issues here. Did notice the marks on a completely black screen in a dark room once but it hasn't showed since. Didn't really bother me.

Weird. In those pictures, the AT&T version has a bit of a blue hue to it, while the Verizon version is hard black. There's definitely some kind of color difference on the back cover. Although, user pics of the AT&T version seen HERE look pretty black to me.
I find the software differences to be very odd.

I agree. I just know that it probably means that software updates on Verizon's are even less likely if there are two different versions. Good thing I'm going to throw stock android on as soon as it's possible.
Will there be anyway to remove that awful Verizon logo at the top right?
I came across some posts about using a penny to rub off the logo and it leaves no scratches.
I suppose you could add a sticker over it too.
Verizon is just out of control with their logo placement.
I personally like the brightness slider and it being gone is a dissapointment. Honestly after watching this vid im less enthused about the G2 since Verizon cant keep their damn hands off anything.

I hear what ur saying and your right but it gets old man. Its like this with every phone. The buttons on the back of the G2 i actually like them better as far as looks. They look like metal and look premium. The wireless charging i want so thats nice to. The problem is you guys already have root, something that probably wont be as easy with the Vzw version, and a unlockable bootloader probably wont even be a option.

I didnt take apart the whole thing, but maybe I will in future. The whole thing was simple and ya much easier than the htc one. Once the back cover is off, the rest is simple also since its in sections and screws are visible.

DO you know if the camera is replaceable with the camera from HTC one? I counted the number of screws and i could get 9 on my the international model, but i do remember you said 13. for me there are 3 at the left side and four on the right and then two in the middle one of which has a void sticker. I am yet to see the other screws. i hate to take away the stickers
The camera should be replaceable since its the same camera as the htc one. Can you take a pic of the back of your phone and post it here so I can see it and let you know where the screws will be

i ain't no professional so the OP might give you a better answer.
Thank you . That's a Philips screwdriver model. What I need to know is the model of triwing screwdriver because almost all the screws are from this type.

For anyone that was waiting on my reply, yes the Nintendo one worked flawlessly. This is the exact one that i ended up buying. hope this helps people.

Hi,did you have take the whole unit apart to replace the camera module? Or was the partial disassembly in the video enough to do it? I've got the new module and have managed to do the partial disassembly but can't seem to see or find the plug for the camera ribbon. Thanks in advance .

For posterity: The size needed for the Max is Tri-Wing #00. That size can be a little hard to find, but this kit has it and it's got a good hard tip (unlike many cheap ones):

Note: You want Tri-Wing, not Tri-point. There is a small difference between the two.
