Started having problems with the Note a day ago after installing a bunch of apps. It would reboot a few times for reasons I couldn't fathom and finally figured it's, at least, every time I went to view installed apps. I figured it has to be a faulty app so failing uninstalling them from the device, I connected to a manager on my laptop and uninstalled anything recent I could think of. That didn't fix the problem but it stopped rebooting since I avoided going to the task manager.
I installed 1-2 things since and everything worked perfectly. Today when trying to install a program it said it cannot install to the default installation location, I tried a few times hoping it was a random error. No luck though and soon after it went into a boot loop. I tried doing a factory reset but no composition of joint button pressing (up volume and power, down volume and power, home and power) yields anything. It shows the white Samsung logo like it does on start up, goes to black, and then shows the shut down blue Samsung animation. Sometimes when holding the buttons it will show the white logo, go black, show white logo again, and only then the shut down animation. When trying with a plugged in charger it doesn't even show the shut down animation, it just flashes the white logo for a second and flickers out.
Seems like I'm stuck! Is there anything else I can do or shall I hand it over to the pros at that point?
Thanks in advance!
