Galaxy Note Battery. Phone Flickering and Switch Off

Sometime your phone flickering and suddenly switch off? Your phone show 20%, 30% or event 50% battery left but still it flickering and switch off? Clean battery stat...problem still there... mmmm... read my story below :)

My Galaxy Note battery out of shape due to over charge or over heating. Most of the time I'm leaving it overnight to charge. That the main reason why my battery have bump and out of shape (like a pregnant lady). When I close the battery back door I could feel it's not tight as new.

So, I just buy a new original one. Same replacement for RM109 at GIANT supermarket sell by Nokia small shops inside Giant. 3 month warranty.

You could see the middle part bump a bit. You could easily spin the battery :)

Symptom on your phone will be flickering and phone suddenly switch off even though it shows 30 or 40% battery left. Clean battery stat will not help....

GET A NEW BATTERY!  and make sure it's original.... :)

How to calibrate Galaxy note S Pen

Do you have problem with your Galaxy Note S-Pen? The point and the line draw too far away...you may try this auto calibration...it works for me on N7000XXKL8. It should work for you as well...

The idea is, to touch all edges of the screen. You may move you pen on the screen side from one end to another or just by clicking on every edges. The S Pen need to detect the maximum for up or down and left or right movement before it can actually calibrate itself.

Press your S Pen near the edges more often and calibration adjusts accordingly.

What I did is, I execute Phone and Application using S Pen :)

Continue testing here

Dial *#0*# using phone dialer.
Latest testing 7 Jan 2012. I can't really draw until the end of the bottom edges either LEFT or RIGHT.
I have no problem to draw on the TOP part.

Photoeditor. Able to draw all the edges, but there are a few millimeter blind area at the bottom. Outside of the image.

S Memo do have blind area at the bottom. We can't stretch the image to 100% full screen.

Other Tips
1. Upgrade to latest ROM.
2. Just Disable Auto Rotation. S Pen good for Portrait.
3. Some experience by disable and enable auto rotation, S Pen fix.
4. Try select Setting > Pen Settings > Dominant hand > Right handed/Left Handed. Reported that S Pen will re-calibrate again.

5. Calibrate Horizontal and Gyroscope. Check out Setting > Display

That not difficult to understand your phone version. The code quite simple but flashing between region quite confusing. My advice is just look at the Android version.. like moving from Android 2.3.5 to Android 2.3.6. There should be enhancement or bug fixes in the new Android version.

Just got my new toy :)
