[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamugushi:
I have gmail and outlook on my phone, outlook can 'sync' email without me enabling the all sync services. For google products it seems all or nothing, with sync disabled I can't enable just gmail. I'd also like to point out that outlook can sync just calendar and emails without draining the battery. With wifi off gps on, data on, and just outlook checking for emails I can get 2-3 days of light usage (a few phone calls, texts, gps and music) with google's auto sync I get a day. Maybe.

may be you are using too many apps causing the power consuming to a great deal .. but to look at your post it does not seem so .. perhaps it would be good to see for other suggestions coming
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
The screen is amazing, blazing fast, multi tasking is great because of the multi Window modes and pop up apps, feels great in the hand.

For the first time ever, I feel like I can get a ton of work done on my phone.

For those of you on the fence... Go try one out at a store. You will not be disappointed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Techweed:
Are you coming from a Note 2? I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ping33tx:
Well said couldn't agree more. This phone is crazy fast and tons of options to customize to your needs .
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
Actually I own every phone out. So for me to say it's that good is huge.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] phobic99:
Sounds like I'll be taking this LG G2 I have back to AT&T on Friday to exchange for the note 3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] side808:
Oh I see. It must be good if you say so...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] porkaysi:
bought the s4 and i tried the 5s for the past 2 weeks, both phones did not make me as excited/ kiddish as the note 3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Hardcore73:
You will love the look and feel of this phone. The weight is perfect so it doesn't feel like a brick (LG Pro), speed is fast so it doesn't get the lag (S4), big without being too big with bezels (Sony Xperia Z Ultra), OS is complete butter so it is fast (Moto X), while it lacks the external speakers (HTC One) it makes up for it with better sound quality when using head phones. Camera is excellent and video doesn't have focus issues (LG G2). Hope that explains it a little better and compares it with every new phone out right now. I have owned all the phones and didn't mention the Lumia 1020 (great camera, terrible battery and OS missing apps), Xperia Z (love the waterproof but camera terrible, Xperia ZL, same as Z, S4 Active had excellent screen and all around better than the Sony Z line for me. iPhone 5s was same as 5 for me even tho I did like the fingerprint unlock and faster burst mode camera (but not worth the upgrade IMO). Have a good day.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Unhived__Mind:
^nicely put ^ :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tmb993:
So exactly like we all were thinking... that we just bought the best phone to come out since the Note 2! NoteFTW!!!

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running SkyNote 9.3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
I am. I've been watching people in the international N3 post what an "incremental" upgrade the N3 is over the N2. It's night and day. The look, feel, updated Samsung apps, the fluidity. I'm pretty happy. I haven't gotten it all set up yet and will post something more detailed once I do. I'm coming from an international N2 and was terrified what AT&T would do to their version. All of their apps can be disabled except for the Mobile Hotspot app which I'll need anyway. And I haven't found anything missing yet except the ability to disable the Mobile Data connection. So far so good.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MobileData:
Where are you guys getting the phone from? AT&T says I have to wait until tomorrow.

--Mike
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
I pre-ordered. It was delivered FedEx about 1:00PM today.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Yze:
we got our stock and demos in last night.. im in love. considering selling my s4 for this badboy now.

it definitely feels super nice in my hand, compared to the note 2. my first thought was, it felt like the original galaxy s2, the squarish feel. didnt like it right away but it has grown on me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wase4711:
how does that plastic leather feel in your hand? Looks so cheesy in pictures..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] daddioj:
i love this phone! also. i had it since OCT 2nd. and the pleather really does feel leathery . atleast ont he black version
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] alpinesun:
This phone is most certainly an awesome upgrade. Just picked mine up last night in black. It's definitely more premium feeling as well, even though it's still plastic. Samsung did a great job with this device and i cant wait to start rooting and ROMing this phone out
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
Well. So far so good. It's a whole new world for me. I left Sprint for At&T after being with them for years. I'm on my first real Samsung phone after having every HTC since the Hero. I'm liking this phone a lot so far...but I do hope root access is gained eventually. There is a lot of carrier bloatware crap on this phone I'd like to ditch.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MobileData:
Happy new phone day everyone! Woohoo, am I psyched to play with my new phone. Now if work would just stop getting in the way of me having fun....and there was a custom recovery and root access...that'll come in time though, I'm sure.

--Mike
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] redpill2016:
I was amazed how light it is for the size, and the screen really pops. I look back at all the hand wringing about the PenTile display and realize how silly it was. Looks incredible.
[LG Optimus G Pro] devilsneck:
My wifi works fine on stock based roms and it shows the correct mac address.

But when using aosp/cm roms, I cant connect to wifi (although I can see networks)

It just says 'Connecting' for a few seconds then nothing.

My Mac address is showing 00:00:00:00:00

Help a brother out! For the time being im just stuck with the sloppy stock rom :(
[LG Optimus G Pro] n0rthstar88:
same problem

You know I have been I having the same problem and for the life of me i cant figure it out. I have been having with google play downloading apps and on cm 10.2 even being able to connect to the playstore. I almost want to say its some type of sync issue. I was trying to look up if selinux in permissive would be the issue but I can't figure out how to disable it to see if its the problem. i hope a dev will read this and help out. I tried posting about the issue but everyone looks at the thread and thats it...
[LG Optimus G Pro] devilsneck:
The first time i had the problem was when I formatted the persist partition and sns(or something like that, can't seem to remember the name) partition.

I was using CWM.
[LG Optimus G Pro] devilsneck:
Maybe finding the images for these partitions for our respective phones and flashing them might help?
[LG Optimus G Pro] n0rthstar88:
​

Wait so what would I search for?
[LG Optimus G Pro] fokker1984:
Try search for "EFS partition".

[LG Optimus G Pro] devilsneck:
Tried to restore EFS through freegee before but that didn't work. I think it runs the same codes. But ill give it a try again manually. Thanks for the tip good sir!
[LG Optimus G Pro] devilsneck:
Got it to WORK!!

DO NOT format your system partition while flashing CM!

That's it!

Lets just hope leftover files won't give me any troubles. :victory:
[LG Optimus G Pro] n0rthstar88:
corrections

i still have my freegee folder with some backups in it would I flash the one that says recovery-backup.IMG or do I flash each individual one that looks like this

m9kefs1-20130925-backup.img

Which there is a efs2 and 3 also. Or do I just flash cm 10.2 without flashing formatting system
[LG Optimus G Pro] devilsneck:
No need to restore EFS.

Just flash CM without formatting system. You have to be coming from a stock ROM (obviously)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] enjoymoosic:
I just bought my Note 3 from T-Mobile USA, and I'm loving it.

I attend UCLA, and Samsung was having a promotion here where they were giving out flip covers to Galaxy device owners.

I chose the black one to match my device, but they offered to give me either the white or pink one tomorrow.

The fake leather is pretty nice, but it does feel a bit more plastic-y than the battery door the phone came with.

It clips on pretty easily, and there is even 1 card slot inside the cover.

The edges of the door and the cover actually stick out about 5mm past the edges of the phone; I suspect that

will help with very short drops. It doesn't make the phone much thicker either.

I doubt this is really a big deal to anybody though, haha.

I wanted to get a picture of it on the phone, but my Note 3 is the only camera I have in my dorm.

Sorry if the images are a bit blurry; I have really shaky hands.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jonphinguyen7:
Lucky!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] J4ME5x:
Wish it had the Samsung logo on the back in the silver writing like on original back cover but looks good
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
M8 isn't this the wireless charged flip cover and not the simply one? I ask because i see in the inner back side 2 pins and it seems some cabling underneath
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ather:
Im guessing thats for the s view to work? Or could be the nfc?

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] itsjusttim:
It should definitely be the wireless charging S-cover
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
I'm thinking now that isn't the charging version because I don't see a view window. I don't know why a plain flip cover needs the electrical contacts, but I've never looked at the plain flip covers for the other models either.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jimmy2u:
Kick Stand case for Samsung Galaxy NOTE 3

Well I am also looking for a wallet case for my Note 3 but for till then I have pre ordered this Kick Stand case from Fommy as cant take Risk with Note 3 at any condition so just going for this one right now...will be receiving it on October 10 as it is stated in the mail..so surely gonna put up the pics and reviews the moment I will receive it
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] siraltus:
Those pins are for the wireless charging. The NFC antenna is inside the battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nathanmiller:
It is looking very cool.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Slendo:
I think that the wireless charging cover has more pins. Those two are just for waking up the display when the flip is opened.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
Isn't it the magnet that wakes it up?

I was under the impression the pins tell the phone a case is there and when/how to modify the display. On a genuine Samsung cover the phone even knows what color the case is, or so I read.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] unciviilized:
Hi, ive been looking around for a nice sleeve for my S4 unfortunately have not been able to find one that suits my needs I would love one that has card slots. I use the wireless cover so the phone would have to fit with it. Im currently thinking on this :

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009F4IYYQ/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

Even though doesnt have the card slots.

If you have one please share it here and let me know how you like it. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Badelhas:
That pouch is for the S3. I have a genuine pouch for the S4 in black that I used for a week while my Spigen Slim Armor View case didnt arrived. It´s pretty weel designed, as a matter of fact, I recommend it.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] unciviilized:
Yeah i noticed it was for the s3 yesterday after i posted here, lol. But the sleeve ur using seems like us amazon doesnt have it. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Badelhas:
Yeah, your right, the only one you´ve got on US amazon is the camel pouch but it´s pretty expensive: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Pouch-Galaxy-S4-Camel/dp/B00BTCPQ66
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
This is a beautiful black and yellow theme based off of DBZ's Super Saiya Jin. I hope all you fans truly enjoy it. Theme confirmed compatible with twrp 2.5.0.0 to most recent release of 2.6.3.0

How To install

1.Navigate to Internal Storage (if you are on a 4.3 rom it will be in "sdcard0) than open your TWRP Folder

2.Create a folder inside your TWRP folder named "theme" (do not capitalize the name of this folder or it wont work)

3.Paste UI.zip in your "theme" folder and reboot your recovery
[HTC Rezound] kopower:
Worked perfect, and looks great :good:
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
glad you like it bud...still accepting requests for custom themes for free
[HTC Rezound] Quantumrabbit:
I'm looking forward to the htc beats guy. :)
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
HTC Beats theme done...just gonna make a few preview images for it and ill have it uploaded by tonight
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
I installed this theme and everything worked fine, however I wanted to try your raven theme so I removed the theme from the theme folder and I'm stuck in a bootloop. The phone phone starts to boot then goes back to the white HTC screen and just keep looping that screen. I've uninstalled trwp 2.6.3 and still the same thing. I can get into bootloader as well as recovery I can flash zips and preform back ups but all with the same outcome. Any suggestion???? thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
Are you s-on? If so try fastboot flashing your ROMs boot.img. I don't think it is theme error. Did you dumlock to recovery and forget to restore boot? If so, the fastboot flash will fix it.

Reason I suggest that is I have done that a few times before I finally just s-offed

Sent from my DNA using my mind.
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
Yes I am s-on, I'll give that a try. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
i also agree deleting or adding a twrp theme will and should not do this...its not flashing anything at all as its just overlapping images from the ui.zip really....i do also suggest if s-on flashing the boot image of your roms kernel...the only way i se anything messing up is an accidental deletion of the wrong file...only thing that should be removed is the ui file as posted in this or my other threads
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
Thanks, I don't think it's the theme either been reading post of people having same problem might just be the phone. Oh well I was planning on moving on to the moto x dev anyway:good::good::good: thanks
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Hey REV3NT3CH, I finally got around to playing with this TWRP theming and, if you would be so kind, I have a question or two about the process... please. I have a pretty good grasp on the methodology -but- have you gotten the "curtain" splash image to work? I have looked around and tested some but with my first attempt, I keep getting the stock TWRP splash image. Maybe this is baked in by the TeamWin folks? Also, looking into your UI.zip. are some of the images "working images" that are not explicitly used? I know that some of the themes use the dual row larger square buttons and some use the single row more rectangular ones. Thanks for the thoughts! I am still learning as I go!
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
i believe the curtain image is baked in...ive tried changing it via the ui.zip and just didnt work....all other images assign itself to somewhere except the preview image (shows what the theme looks like stock)....if youd like i can look into the curtain image a little more again
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
With curtain image you have to decompile than replace the image and recompile. I've also tried gif animation but gifs don't work lol

I could throw you one together if you want
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
your talking about the whole recovery itself right?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
yeah. you have to take the recoery image than decompile it

EDIT: im gunna build a decompile and compile script right now
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
thats what i thought....anybody have requests then i may do some soon
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Thanks... you to bunchies! Don't worry about it. I just hoped that was a possibility. Yet, if you find a secret to make it work in an easy fashion, let me know. I appreciate your thoughts and I hope you don't mind if I use your xml file as a template ;)
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
im a high believer in what is open source should stay and remain open source just as long as the credibility is there....go ahead and have fun with it bud....if you need help you can pm me or hangouts me..... rev3nt3ch@gmail
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
exactly.. also just threw this together for ya :good: this is how i edit recovery images.

Heres the tools - http://d-h.st/xJL

extract it to your ubuntu desktop and place the recovery.img you want to edit to the base of the new recovery folder

than open terminal and..

hit enter in the terminal to execute the last line

Do Not Exit the terminal

than use your file explorer and go into ramdisk/res/images and delete the curtain.jpg and paste in the new curtain.xxx (i use a png image)

than go back to the terminal window and..

hit enter in the terminal to execute the last line

and than flash the recovery-new.img in fastboot :angel:
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
thanks will definately be doing some stuff with this
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
hmmmm, did i say i use png.

use jpg, png doesn't work
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
ill look into the code that calls for that specific file and see if a format change works
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Thanks... I will have to give this a try too. Hopefully I can finish up tweaking my first attempt soon and see what people think of it.

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

Ok, REV3NT3CH and bunchies... I have a question for you two. Concerning these themes and their development / design, rather than use this space (your theme thread) for design questions, would you think it might be appropriate to create a stand alone thread in this forum to allow people to discuss these things? I am sure it will not be heavily used but it might be helpful to folks who have an interest. What do you think?

PS: I do have a question now about a design element in the XML file. If you don't wish to start the new thread, I'll post here or send you a PM.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
im not like the others when it comes to thread clogging lol doesnt bother me a bit...if you want go ahead and start one in the Q&A section as that is where its appropriate
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Thanks. Since this will likely be hit and miss with "my" question(s), let me just drop in here since you are OK with it. If I get more involved with theming for TWRP, I may create a thread later...

I am attaching a couple of pics... the first is a mock up of the "look" I am going for. The second shows a specific area that I am trying to tweak. Look at the upper right area (the long orange rectangle) which is the scroll bar for the terminal (I suppose)... is there a way to make it narrower? I already figured out where the color value is.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Umm, what is the size of the picture for the scroll bar?

I haven't built a theme in a few months, but I remember the x/y values being the placement so it should be the size of the image
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
did you use the Super saiyan one as the base to make it...so i can look at the xml in it to tell you what youll need....or you can send me your theme via hangouts or something and i can look at it that way
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Actually, I used "UI_green_border" to start with. I will be in and out today but I'll try to buzz you on Hangouts at some point. Thanks for the help.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
ok bud...if you ever need help feel free anytime to either hangouts, pm, or reply here for anything.
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Appreciate the help and offers for continued help... I'll be dabbling with this as time allows. Fixing to start class again and am trying to finish up a couple of development projects. Believe it or not, at 53 I am a full time student again finishing my bachelors and I do web development on the side to help support us during this transition. Thanks again!

Yep, old dogs can learn new tricks.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Thats awesome bud!! I'm happy for you. believe it or not android Developing is still my weak point in technology. I also web design quite a bit and have my own computer repair and customization company
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Yep, I hear ya... I know just enough about "real" coding to be dangerous ;) but I do enjoy web dev and graphics design. Those things help pay the bills and give me an outlet away from academia when I need it. I was a local PC tech for around 15 years before I made a few changes in direction... but I never really lost touch with it.
[HTC One X+] morbvamp:
Hi, I've been running into a problem the last few days. Any help will be really appreciated.

My phone was unrooted and updated to sense 5 via OTA and it also updated my HBOOT from (if I'm not mistaken) 1.35 to 1.72. Now I've been trying a few roms like slim bean and CM but I want to go back to stock. The problem is that the RUU file that I've been using now doesn't work to go back stock as it shows an error while restoring. Can someone please guide me with this? :(

Many thanks!
[HTC One X+] PHo3:
For custom Rom you Need unlock - for ruu you Need to relock your bootloader - try this.
[HTC One X+] reaper90:
Because we have no possiblity to S-OFF our phones, you are not allowed to downgrade your HBOOT, so in order to go back to stock now, you would need latest RUU of the Sense5/Android4.2.2 update, which is not available (in fact there wasn't even a RUU for latest Sense 4+/Android 4.1.1 ...).

If you really want back to stock, you need to search the forum or internet for a stock TWRP or CWM backup matching your CID, then flash belonging boot.img in fastboot, restore this stock backup and as a last step reflash stock recovery in fastboot.

Easier (at least that's what i think) would be to install a stock like custom rom from One X+ Android Development forum. You won't get the OTA updates this way, but if there will be any more updates for our phones (which i doubt) the devs will most likely rebase their roms on these updates.
[HTC One X+] 10rdan:
On a similar theme, I also have hboot 1.72 after OTA 4.2.2 / sense 5 update. (O2)

Currently unlocked, rooted and using ARHD8.

Over the last few weeks I've been reading on this forum about the possibility of returning to COMPLETELY stock in case of further updates which, like you, I doubt will happen.

Am I right in saying that if I.... relock bootloader, flash backed up original OS (backed up with TWRP), flash stock boot.img, I will be back to stock ?

Where, and how, does the 'stock recovery' come in to returning phone to stock ?

Thanks
