UPDATE: So after a replacement phone was behaving the same way..wifi not turning on and freezing issues, come to find out a corrupt SD card was the problem. Removed SD card from the new phone and it worked fine. I just wanted to post the fix for future searching.. Phil

Hard Brick (I Think)

Ok,
I took my phone back to complete stock last night using odin, this morning I wanted to update the phone so my kiddo could get the new market, after downloading kies and running the update the phone will not turn on at all. it does not show when I connect a charger and I cant get it to go into download mode. Any suggestions or is this phone now done?

I Tried this and it didn't work. I really believe my phone is completely dead!
So there is no sign of life at all? No leds or any backlight behind the screen? If not, then you are hardbricked. Kies is notorious for hardbricking phones.
You can call your carrier or Samsung and tell them your phone was bricked using THEIR software and see where that goes.
Sorry for your loss.
Nothing at all idk what they will say since I've had the phone since brand new

I had the exact problem you did. Tmobile sent me a replacement, and now I have a phone with no scratches or dings! :victory:
Well I've had mine since the day it came out, it it's out of warranty so t-mobile won't cover it, Samsung was not going to cover it at first but after it was said and done they decided to cover it since it was there software that bricked my phone

This happened to me awhile back! I called T-Mobile, but as I was out of warranty, no phone could be sent! Wish I would've seen this thread before I tossed it...

Keeps restarting and viberating

Any idea why all the sudden the galaxy note will randomly shut off completly and I have to use the power button to power it back on, sometimes it will sit there and viberate and I have to pull the battery. Its running stock ics. And YES ITS THE att note. I'm sending this with my international note

Try a reset or reflash the rom your using. Ice hasn't been released yet officially for the note so you must be on one of the leaks. Try reflashing

Problem is the phone automatically turns off in 10 secs every time even in download mode. I'll keep trying hopefully it will stick. Thanks for the tip though.

Wow that's a new one in me. I thought read someplace that certain roms react this way if the battery get to low and you have to go into cwm and do a cache wipe I think. Sorry that all I got .

If phone is turning off in download mode I doubt it is the ROM installed. Have you tried swapping batteries?
Also the issue seems to ONLY HAPPEN WHEN MOVING THE PHONE! SO I dont think Its a doftware issue. I tried changing battries same issue. It stayed on all NIGHT last night. Then when I go to touch it this morning it restarts.

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.
Edit: stuck power button maybe?

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.
Hey Ranger, notice you spend a lot of time in what I call the "trenches" in the Q&A and Gen sections providing assistance and guidance. Where I like to hang out and since I have the Note now...and still providing to the Infuse 4G community...
You seem to be a resourceful individual, sir.
Thanks Ranger!
I was just checking out your Bio -- impressive.

Thank you sir.
btw you impress me with your assistance in the threads, sir :good:
Maybe one of your cables inside is loose and disconnects when you move it? I would either take your phone apart yourself or take it to a shop to get it checked.

Can't receive texts but can send them...

I'm running CM9 final and haven't had any issues lately. Today I received texts up to a certain point from some Ppl and some I didn't when they texted me. I can send out but get nothing back. Phone calls work fine and so does my data... Any ideas? Please help!

Well it's a pretty stable build. Which they wouldn't have released if SMS didn't work. Which means its user error. Either it's a setting u changed. , an app u have running, or u didn't full wipe before installing. Best guesses at least. Good luck , happy flashing

I posted in CM9 only cuz that's the run I'm on, but thought I should post in question and answers instead. I will remember that next time. I've been on CM9 for quite a few days now and exec today I have been getting texts then all of a sudden nothing... I haven't changed anything, I was working most if the day.

You might try clearing data for messaging app on manage apps.
I tried that, too no avail.

I had good luck following this guide for setting up APN on I777 on CM9 , it is for ATT. It is from Infuse forums but it works anways. If it doesn't there is an option to reset to default.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791526
*update* I ended up calling Att and tech support. After some trouble shooting he had me put my Simon into another phone to "wake it up, or un freeze" it then put back in my phone. I then got 18 texts when phone turned on. He said sometimes the Sim card gets confused from switch between towers and locks up. So really was an easy fix. Hope this helps anyone else. Thanks for suggestions!

Def a weird thing. But I thought it was something with the phone or especially being on a ROM. But just a confused Sim card turns out. Lol

PUK code is locked?

I'm having this problem at least once a day and I have no idea what is causing it. Out of nowhere this will pop up and I will completely lose all service. The only way to get it back is by putting the phone into airplane mode then coming back out. Sometimes that will work for the rest of the day, but other times it will do the same thing 5 minutes later. Anyone know why it's doing this? Just kind of annoying.

How about doing what it is telling you to do and contact customer care?

I was getting this too every so often and all I did was reseat the SIM while I got the error. Please try that first before calling vzw and have them talk you through a factory reset only to send you a new card. It worked for me.

Okay thanks I'll try that!

I was having this issue as well, and went to the Verizon store and had my SIM card replaced. Never had the issue again.
I was having this issue the first couple of days as well. Took the sim card out, cleaned it, shoved it back in pushing it down as far as I could with my thumb, haven't had the issue since.
Okay Thanks guys I'll take it out in the morning and try that. Hopefully that'll fix it.

Both my wife and I had problems the sim card. Either they don't insert them properly for new phones, or their sim cards have issues. Replaced both and no problems since.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Now that I think of it they come with the SIM cards already inserted if I remember correctly. That's probably why its widespread if the same person/machine is repeatedly inserting them wrong.

I just took a screenshot of this same thing earlier. I'll try taking out my SIM card, cleaning it, and re-inserting.

S4 restarting on its own.

Anyone else's s4 ever done this? It just did it and that's maybe the 3rd time it's happened. I'm completely sock and running nova launcher prime.
Hmm apparently I got some screen mirroring update? No idea what that is.
rooted/unrooted?

lol #3??? What on earth are you doing to these poor S4's
I'm not doing anything to them. Each one I've had has had some sort of issue.
But it's only rebooted a few times since I've had it. It's very rare so I'm not that annoyed.
Mine has done it a couple of times as well. Usually when I'm using it pretty intensely. I figure I just overload it, and it causes it to reboot. Now its got an issue of sometimes freezing on the Verizon logo at boot. Have to pull the battery to get it to boot when this happens.

Mine has done this too. Also I have had trouble in the middle of a call getting a crazy echo and jarble. This my second one having both these problems;(
