I thought the zergrush exploit does not work for 2.3.6 GB. It didn't work on mine. Did you flash to an older rom before rooting?

The phone pulls the amps from the charger and charger pushes voltage to the phone. That is why you will burn your equipment if you plug in a charger with the wrong VOLTAGE. The charger will supply whatever amp that is required by the phone up to the chargers max amp.

If the phone made to only draw 1A, supplying it with a 2A charger will not charge it any faster. If the phone can draw 1.5A, but comes with a factory charger 1A, then by replacing the factory charger with 2A will make it charge faster. It all depends on the phone is made to draw more amps than the factory charger.

That is why when you use a universal charger for notebook, you only need to set the Voltage but not the Amp. Same concept applies to mobile phones.

That's because they put in water damage indicators on the motherboard of the phone that turns red once it touches water. I think there is one on the battery compartment area too. That is how they know you have water damage. If you were to remove these indicators, it would also void warranty.

I have no idea about what you are trying say here. I'm trouble understanding your grammar. All I'm saying is that the device determines the amp and not the charger. Some device have a limit on how much amp it can draw, some doesn't. The amp on the charger will not kill the device because it does not force amps on the device. Voltage is forced and that kills the device if you get it wrong.

I'm using pull and push to explain because it is as simple as it gets for anybody who does not understand electronics. I have charged my Note with my Tab 5V 2A and it works just fine. Try doubling the voltage and you'd see smoke coming out of the phone. Doubling the amp will not kill the device.

Not easy to identify the part of the mainboard that is faulty. Much simpler and cost effective to swap the mainboard out.

The never ending battle between external power/battery or a bulky internal extra cap battery. Carry an extra power bank or lose the slim form factor. With the extra bulk, the Note looks like an indestructible Nokia. There's a chinese saying for this extra bulk.. 'Throw dog die...' (lost in translation would be throw at dog.. dog dies..).. ahhahaha..

My Tab has now become my gaming console and book reader. Just need to change the SP as it is pretty scratched up due to daily usage as primary phone for a year. Now that I have seen the backcover, it confirms the fact that the Note will be twice as thick and beginning to look more like a 'throw dog die' Motorola... ahhahaha.. really reminds me of the old Motorola extended battery with the curve top and bottom (I can't be the only one.. ). Thanks for the pic.. might settle for a Yoobao power bank instead.
