did you ever figure this out? I have exactly the same quest. I was thinking that I could have two cameras on my phone. The native one for my personal pics, then the Google camera, or any of the others that would be set up with my work G+ account to backup pictures for that. Right now I'm...

Re: Note3 proximity sensor issue during calls I tried your method and it just didn't fully clean the area inside. My ADC value did drop from 210 to 160 with your method. I think you just need to get under 80 to have success. Your method would probably work for someone in the 81-120 ADC...

That's the same video I used to open my phone. That guy does a great job. I did take a couple pics of my proximity sensor area before and after I cleaned. My ADC value didn't drop to zero after I blew out the dust. Maybe next time I'll swab down the area with a Q-tip. -Kevin

Did the test and my sensor was reading about 210 just sitting on my desk. Got some compressed air and directed it in the earphone speaker grill. That dropped it down to about 160 and the problem still persisted. Then I unscrewed the inside cover and pulled out the proximity sensor and the area...

Re: Headphones problem - filled with static Just a resolution for this thread. (learn from my mistakes) I don't know why I didn't try calling AT&T at some point to see if the warranty is transferrable. < IT IS > I had just assumed that a used phone bought from a private party would void the...

Re: Headphones problem - filled with static Well, that didn't work. I tried twice. Fully torn down, cleaned, and re-assembled. For some reason this is the first time that I noticed that the watermark on the motherboard has not gotten wet. The battery indicator was wet, the one behind the...

Re: Headphones problem - filled with static BTW, if you ever need to take apart your phone for any reason, this youtube video is very comprehensive: [edit] looks like my link was replaced with an ad. Search for this on youtube: "Galaxy Note 2 Disassembly & Assembly - Screen and Case...

Re: Headphones problem - filled with static Great questions! Thank you for that. 1. Yes, everything that goes through the headphones has static. Phone calls, video, music players. 2. I tried a couple of the music players that are on the phone and all the same. 3. That's good to know, at...

Re: Headphones problem - filled with static Perfectly good advice, thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. Pushed in all the way, no case, reset when I got it, and had the problem from the beginning. I have had a previous problem with a buildup of pocket lint in the jack on my iPhone that...

I paid $300 for a used phone and I love everything except the headphone sound is just a static version of whatever I'm listening to. The seller told me there's zero problems with the phone, and I'm going to keep it. - or more accurately, he's not taking it back. But that's not the point of my...
