[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
OTA kept failing to install for me; it would finish downloading, boot into (TWRP v.2.5.0.0, newest version I think) recovery, wipe cache, then just reboot the system and go back into Android.

So I manually downloaded it, booted into recovery, did a full backup to my SD card, then then dirty flashed (wiping both cache's) Beans 17 over 16. Upon boot into Android, the phone took a while to "prepare" the SD card, then eventually told me the filesystem couldn't be read and would need to reformat :eek:! After several attempts to unmount/mount the SD card, it kept saying the same thing. So I boot into recovery and TWRP sees the SD card fine and I can browse through all the directories with the built in file manager. I even deleted my previous backup just to alleviate some space. I reboot back into Android and it's still not reading the card.

Ugh, so I put the SD card in my laptop this morning and it reads it fine, so I backup all of its contents to my laptop and figure I'll have to reformat the card on my phone afterwords and copy all my files back over. Well after everything got copied to my laptop, I put the card back in my phone and it reads it fine now, lol.. WTF?

Kind of a weird issue I thought I'd post about and see if anyone experienced anything similar. I know this card is good because it's less than a week old (Sandisk Ultra 32 GB) after my previous standard Sandisk 32 GB card dying on me (sending it back for warranty replacement now). On that card, my phone actually told me my card was damaged and needed to be replaced.

What format was the SD Card?

What Kernal

Did you enable SD Swap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Ya I understand..flashed it almost rugby when it came out..Mine is about triple yours...never settled down on 16 but that was spazzy on my phone...def give it a few days..I have motion all that enabled but that never mattered before and I rarely use the features

After coming from the charge I just like knowing I can :)

Go to Settings, Custom Settings, Xposed Tweakbox, Statusbar, and make sure the Signal strenght bars are set to 5 bars. That way my problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 5150jpd:
So far build 17 is running great! Thanks for all the hard work. One small issue though. When coming back to the home scene my wallpaper shifts left then right with about half the scene black. It finally settles down to the full wallpaper. Any ideas on what may be causing this? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
FAT32

Stock/Beanstown kernel

No SD swap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CAPTainJRacine:
Yes. I've seen this (yes I selected five bars in Xposed), but on occasion see loss of all bars. I do have signal though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Th3Annoyed1:
Same here on 15,16,and 17.

B17 is working great besides one small issue. I keep getting FC on the stock messaging app, tried clearing cache and data but didn't work. I went back into rom installation and installed aosp messaging and works great.

Also for anyone with Google Play Music issues, set res to 320dpi with 800x1280 and delete all data fixed almost all my issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Are you using stock Touchwiz launcher, or a different launcher? Does it happen with all wallpapers? Clear the data from the launcher app, reboot and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgzerwer:
I am having nonstop issues with Play Music and have never modified DPI. Are you suggesting that this needs to be done even if one never messed with dpi settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Did you modify any dpi settings system build . prop? If not should be on with clearing all data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zactheandroidmac:

I'm on build 17 and have noticed a big battery usage of google services. I have gps on and have on previous builds and have not changed any settings coming to this build. Is anyone else seeing more google services battery usage on build 17? I have noticable less battery time and think this is the culprit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgzerwer:
Never modified any dpi settings. I have cleared data dozens of times to no avail. Uninstalled and reinstalled, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Able to somehow get it running a couple of times only to have it start repeatedly crashing again. This same problem is cropping up on GS3s, GS4s, Droid Bionics, Nexus 4s and more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dukins:
Is there any alternative quick reply messaging apps for stock touchwiz mms? I couldn't find any in settings. I loved the aosp messaging but group mms wasn't the best so I'm trying the stock touchwiz mms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dieselhomey:
I should mention this was where the SD card was automatically unmounting at boot. If you went to try to mount it it would run a scan for error and unmount aswell.

figured this out on my own I guess!

so after pure utter fustration!! I decided to try the other kernals (perseus) and use it's SD SWAP... and what do you know it works fine... NOT a bad SD card or a corrupt SD

so I hope this helps anyone who else might have seen this and before going out to get a new SD card give the other kernals a try.

I tried:

PB kernal with SD swap and with out

VRAMC3 kernal with out SD swap

I have a 64GB ScanDisk Ultra

Are there instructions or maybe a different app to setup up and use VPN? Going to The Stones concert tonight and would rather use Staples Center wifi but only if I can do it safely...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Switch to 5 bars if you want the blue.

I lost signal on my bars on 16. Not sure if it has happened on 17 yet. Maybe the new radio?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikespe:
I'm still using the old radios... I tried switching to 5 but the slider won't move in Xposed. I got the DPI fixed but now this isn't working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Th3Annoyed1:
I'm losing all bars but still have signal. It's on 5 bars and gas happened on 15,16, and 17.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
The only options are 4,5, and 6. So for the 5 option the slider has to be in the middle. Did you slide it a little and think it wasn't working but maybe not slide far enough? You seem to have a lot of issues with Xposed. This and the DPI issue. If I were in your shoes I would really consider backing up my apps and the like and doing a clean install. When I went to 17 I wiped everything, even formatted my internal memory. And I have to say the phone couldn't be running better. However before doing that I tried to dirty flash from 16 and had issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Glowfly works pretty well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikespe:
I got the DPI fixed by reinstalling Xposed & I was moving the slider wrong with the bars. I had to click in the middle of the slider path to get it to 5. Bars are blue now. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Did you install the VPN option when you installed the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Oh_wow:
Yes, but the setup is asking for all kinds of things that I have no clue how to handle...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Do you have a VPN?

And if so what kind is ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zottig:
I am not sure if this is a Beans specific thing or not, but if it is it's been happening to me for at least the last ten builds. I've done a full factory wipe every few builds so it's not from dirty flashing as far as I can tell.

The issue is that occasionally the screen timeout widget gets set to instant off (1s I assume) rather than the valid options of 15s, 30s, 1m, 2m, or 10m timeout.

I can't think of what might cause that. Is anyone else having this happen? It happened with my first unit but is also is doing it with a warranty replacement so thinking it's not hardware. Only other culprit I can think of is "Flip Case Control" but I did uninstall that too and it still happened.

It doesn't happen all that often, but at least a few times a week and it can be hard to keep the screen on long enough to toggle to a longer timeout.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Oh_wow:
No, this would be a first time setup. Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] repsol_23:
Gps and mms working just fine here. Might try a clean wipe and reinstall.

You are missing half the equation. You don't just setup a vpn from your phone. You connect to an already setup VPN at another location. Either an office, home, or a subscribed service.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I have never encountered that myself, and I have never seen anyone else with that issue. Did that happen on stock rom? If so, I would suspect a hardware defect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ainjobizz:
Thanks for replying. I don't seem to have xml next to my messaging but I did find that I have to press menu and it brings up backup data to xml. Guess that was noob of me. It does say I have to have the paid version though. Is that right? Thanks again.

the heck. last night i put on beans 17 and everything was normal. The toggles were small as i chose 7 toggles displayed. But then this morning after i woke up, my phone toggles are huge. Now it only displays 4 and 1/2 toggles. Everything still works but its more of an annoyance. Anyone have the same issues as me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CAPTainJRacine:
Toggle rotation, rotate your phone to landscape and back to portrait. Tur the off rotation. Your toggles will be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Rotating your phone once and back in an app usually fixes it. Sometimes even turn the display off and back on does the trick

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] denpad2010:
Ok I'm very concerned about memory, I use Spotify and I need a lot space, that's why I use SD swap, I know the stock kernel don't support SD swap, so my question is,there's another way to move the apps to the memory card, but I mean a easy way no the method you need a lot of app and copy and move every while?

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
I would assume that it is compressing the image for the mms or reducing it's size. A screen shot, unlike a photo is taken at the exact size of your screen. If you compress or reduce it then view it then it will not look near as good, whereas doing this to a picture that started out much larger then the screen wouldn't have that effect.
