By switching to SuperSU, my phone's lockscreen functions faster, phone is faster, and doesn't stick anymore. Hate to day this, because he has done great work in the past, but Koush's Superuser is not a friend to stock Touchwiz.

sorry if this has been asked before i searched but could not find the answer. Do I need to root the device again after flashing the factory image or no?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
From 2nd post... "For Factory Image use Odin.

__-- Unzip the downloaded file and flash ".tar.md5" via Odin. Ignore "SS_DL.dll". Will LOOSE data and root. Back to Factory State.

____-- If you boot loop go back into recovery, do a factory reset, and reboot. "

Of course, it should be "LOSE" lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
I feel that teshxx should put his International T889 stock ROMs in this thread ABOVE his T-Mobile ones. It's the Note II Android software without all the bull**** bloat and splash screens T-Mobile adds. Unless someone has a very good reason why the T-Mobile stock rom is better, I'm going to continue promoting the international version as the superior version.

The only difference I noticed going from the international ROM back to the T-Mobile version here besides the bloatware & bull**** is WiFi calling -- something that I use only over VoIP so I've no use for it: I'm completely VoIP'd out and can use WiFi to make calls any time I want.

The battery is worse and the 4G/LTE connection--while faster--is less consistent. I get more jitter and stuttering over 4g/LTE using the latest T-Mobile ROM/Modem than I did over HSPA+ on the international ROM/Modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aria807:
Was anything updated with the most recent modem? Like the March one enabled LTE (which was a pretty big deal). Just seeing if there is a need to update.

I was getting 10-15mbps down before the LTE modem on hsdpa but after the LTE roll-out/modem updates, hsdpa will not go faster than 2-3mbps. Has anyone else had this problem? Did t-mobile somehow artificially cap their hsdpa?

I love your work, especially the stock rooted rom for the Note II and I just donated. Please keep up the good work. I love that I can be rooted and still get OTA's from Samsung and my carrier. I hope you continue your work for the Note III when it comes out as I hope to get the Note III too.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
Woah. I just went back to tesh's international ROM 4-09-2013 - T889XXDMC3 from 6-02-2013 - T889UVBMD1 DeOdex T-Mobile and my phone just about blew up. Of course I wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, installed from zip, and reboot. Immediate problems.

"Unfortunately the process Android.process.acore has stopped."

Went to Application Manager and cleared Contact cache and Contact Storage cache. Reboot. Seemed to fix it.

"Unfortunately, TouchWiz home has stopped."

Cleared the cache for TouchWiz home in cache but didn't entirely fix it. Getting issues with the default weather widget now.

Just before I installed this, I tried doing a Nandroid backup using this app people on these forums recommended: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup

Didn't work. It ACTUALLY said I didn't have enough disk space no matter what folder I chose. Internal: 6GB remaining. SDCard: 57GB remaining.

What a mess. Any tips how I can swap between T-Mobile's ROM and the international ROM without going through these issues and maybe a better way that actually works to back up the entire device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teshxx:
Thank you so very much! Not sure if I will get the Note 3 since 5.99/6 is definitely too big for me. I am getting a S4 google edition when it comes out though. Excited about that :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teshxx:
It has nothing to do with my roms or TW (T-mobile or international) for that matter. I bet you switched to AOSP based rom prior to flashing TW back. 4.1.* and 4.2.* use different locations for data storage. So when you switch between AOSP and TW the data doesn't really get deleted. You have to wipe data aswell along with caches. Reboot and voila you got your space back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
No. I've been using your international T889 roms since December 2012. 06-02-2013 - T889UVBMD1 was the first time I went to a T-Mobile rom since I bought the device. When I realized it sucked, I went back to the 04-09-2013 - T889XXDMC3 international ROM using Clockworkmod recovery as usual. Never had a problem before. After clearing the cache of the mentioned apps, things right now seem stable for now. Biting what's left of my nails, though...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teshxx:
You still didn't answer my question. Did you try AOSP (cm/aokp/pa) at any given time? That is the ONLY valid explanation for your space issue. C3 is rock solid and so far D1 is not bad either. I am using D1 since it came out and haven't had any issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
Before I went from my SIII to the Note II, I thought that maybe the Note II would be too big. Now, I think it's too small. I ended up using the Note II essentially as a laptop replacement, although it's a little small to be used that way all day. I was thinking about getting a tablet, but decided to hold off until I see if the even larger Note III will make full-time desktop-type usage feasible. For me, the perfect device is one that does it all, but still fits in my pocket. Can't wait. (Although, I will probably jump on the HTC T6 the minute it's released.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
No. I'm not even sure what AOSP is, but I know what CM is. My Nook Tablet is CM10.1 (nightlies) which is Android 4.2.2, but never my Galaxy Note II. In fact, my girlfriend's phone still has 06-02-2013 - T889UVBMD1 DeOdex on it right now. I've kept her identical Galaxy Note II phone updated with your stock international ROMS until recently just like mine. If you'd like me to record 1080p video of anything on her phone right now to when I install 04-09-2013 - T889XXDMC3 I'll do it. Maybe it'll help for bug fixes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
Anyone have just the recent 15MB update to flash? Don't really want to have to flash rom/modem again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
I think I'm going to have to do a factory reset to the last international rom from 2 months ago. Too many strange issues after going to T-Mobile rom and back. Volume adjustment is really strange especially during an incoming call, keep seeing issues with widgets, and other quirks.

Never going to T-Mobile roms again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
That might be a bit hasty of a conclusion - though that being said the thing that matters most is that you are happy with what you have, and it sounds like you have a good idea of the "what" that you will be happy with, which is nice.

Don't get me wrong - I am not a fan of all the T-Mobile bloat myself, but in the stretches of time I've run it unaltered it was (for my usage of course) pretty quirk free (annoyances abounded, but quirk free nonetheless - both of which are again admittedly based on personal opinion) and I had little issue changing things/roms/etc afterwards.

Slightly off topic to this - great write up on the VoIP stuff. It was quite nice to see all of that info consolidated into one place :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] truthkillszz:
I wonder if anyone can help me. I am running RootBox and I have been flashing the latest modems since they are released. I live in NYC and been getting LTE on UVBMB4 for a few weeks and then when UVBMD1 was released I flashed that modem and continued to get LTE. But about a week ago I noticed that my data keeps dropping out and I can't get 3G, H+ or LTE. The only ways to fix it is to reboot and even that is a hit or miss or to change my Network Mode to GSM/WCDMA preferred. Can anyone help me out here I am missing the LTE speeds.

Does flashing the stock factory image void your warranty?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JB910:
If it is the odexed version, I don't see why it would. You can use a program called triangle away to reset your flash counter if it is greater than 0.

Having a province going from the International version to stock deodexed.

Using twrp, I wipe everything (no formating), and queue up the ROM, the kernel, and the modem. After I flash and reboot, wipe the cache again, I am not able to interact with the device by touch at all unless I pull the battery and go into recovery.

HSPA+

Here's a post from a while back where i did some tests on HSPA+

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39449519#post39449519

Right now LTE is only in one city in my area where I only visit about twice a week, so I switch APN back and forth according to where I'm at and what type of network is available.

So just try switching APNs instead of re-flashing the modem like suggested after your post and see if the speeds on HSPA are back to 10-15mbps.

Good luck

Battery drain with LTE modem

I'd never flashed a modem before - so I presume the one I was using was the stock original modem from when I purchased the phone new. I never did any OTA's as I rooted in the first week.

A few days ago, I opted to try the latest modem (BMD1). It worked great, and I was getting 30mbps down and 25mbps up in the LTE areas in Tampa. However, where I was able to go 36 hours on a single battery before getting to the 15% warning, with this new modem, I was hitting it in about 18. And that is with minimal use.

Not certain it wasn't a misconfigured app, I took a screen shot of the battery pages with the LTE modem. I then reverted back to the January modem (ALL4). After running about the same time interval as with the LTE modem, I grabbed another screen shot.

These were taken over two consecutive days, where I was in exactly the same locations for the same amounts of time throughout both days.

I can only conclude that the LTE radio is adding a considerable amount of drain to the battery. Aside from flashing the modem back and forth when I REALLY need/want LTE, is there a shortcut to turn off the LTE radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] heiNey:
does triangle away work to reset the flash counter? also, do you use it before or after flashing the factory image?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Yes it works awesome. There is an option to have it reset with every boot. Enter the app and hit the menu button and go through the options and choose what you want it to do. Pretty self explanatory. If you want to use it occasionally then reset after flash. Have fun

Well I kinda just answered my own question, just flashed previous modem. Apparently I was just getting bad downloads and it appears that the problem still exists. UGH
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] c0ns0le:
Try flipping over to epc and adding admin, hipri to the APN type. Then go back to 4g
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Animatorman:
Assuming I understood you correctly and did everything right it didn't help. It's very frustrating because 3 days ago this problem was non existent. Now if I can get my phone to show service at all its a miracle and then it doesn't last long and oddly ( at least to me ) it keeps changing the network mode on its own, it will move it from LTE to something else
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] c0ns0le:
Interesting, truth be told I read your problem very quickly! My recommendation wouldn't help with your declared issues. This recommendation is more intended to help those where LTE isn't avail or they are receiving poor speeds and wanted better speed over 4g.

Signal issues can be attributed to many things, personally I had spent a week trying to diagnose a signal issue in my house only to remember we have radiant barrier installed. TMO just doesn't have the signal strength in my home compared to vzw and att.

I've understood the latest modem does not hold on the LTE bands as well as the previous modem and some have had luck flashing back. I have a personal habit of flashing modems consecutively 2x's to ensure the flash took. For me if I've been having theses issues and none of these worked id Odin all the way back to first stock and take the ota updates just to ensure it wasn't something I've done. But I tend to be creature of habit and I don't believe everyone else would recommend this. Minimum Odin back to stock, make sure you have backups and a nandroid. There is potential of you loosing things on the internal storage so always backup/sync/whatever it is you do to backup and restore.

If none of these things help. Return phone to stock and hit up your local corporate store.

Best of wishes.
