Everyone is really looking for a way to get that English Samsung note 3 keyboard without flashing a new sea rim

So any one ???

Thanks

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

okie so i have another question.. lets hope someone has been successful at it and give an answer here

1)what if you get a n9002 thats on the original first chinese rom that the device was launched with

2)root with de la vega tool and keep knox counter 0x0

3)install custom recovery ? would the knox counter be tripped ????

4) if step 3 still keeps the knox at 0x0 , can you flash SVA rom and be rooted , keep knox 0x0 ???

thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bishodablack:
new sea rim???
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zohaer21:
lol a typo .. meant a new sva rom .. autocorrect !! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bishodablack:
Oh I've PM'd Jovy to see if he can do a darkstalker rom for the n9002
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CitizenM:
You cannot flash a custom rom or install custom recovery apps, like CWM, at any stage or Knox will be tripped.

As for the English keyboard, the native rom on the N9002 comes with an English one (i.e., the ability to switch to type English). Is it that it is different from the standard English keyboard so that is why people are looking for this? For me, I gu as this isn't an issue because I use apps like SwiftKey for English, which I've found to be superior to the stock keyboard anyway.

This link is no longer working. Does anyone have a working link?

PS: I can confirm the caller ID issue is occurring in Australia where I have internationally formatted contacts. (i.e +<country code><phone number>) I haven't checked numbers that are formatted differently.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mufidaz:
I mainly decided on buying SM-N9002 over the international version for the pink color availability, dual-sim and Krait cpu. Having said that getting LTE to work will be a bonus. I doubt if the radio frequency front end for LTE bands would have been mounted on the device, so though snapdragon 800 has LTE baseband, it will be DIFFICULT to get LTE working meaningfully

Though it is a chinese stock rom, it has a english version of the keyboard, which is pretty good enough for daily usage, for power users I believe there are always English keyboard apps on the PlayStore, which one can install after rooting & getting play store access
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jollyranchers99:
Hey guys I've been a long time lurker and this is my first post

I live in the UK and I've been thinking of buying the N9002 rather than buying the official Note 3 as its a lot cheaper

After reading through all of the posts in this thread I have a few questions for all of you

1) are you still happy with your N9002 considering there appears to be a fair bit of tinkering to get it to work as it should, would you buy one again ?

2) where is everyone buying these phones from ? I'm about to buy one from here -

fastcardtech.com/HDC-Galaxy-Note-3-N9002 ( Please copy into your browser) for £142 + delivery

Has anyone any experience with this seller ?

Thanks guys
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
I have the n9002 and yes im very happy with the device. After 2-3 years, i would still buy a high end dual sim device even if it means being required to root and tinker a little bit to get it working the way i want it to. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jollyranchers99:
thanks for the reply , where did you buy your N9002 from ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
I'm from the Philippines, I bought it from an importer from China. Face-to-face deal. Had to test for almost an hour just because I know there's a few clones going around and I believe some of them are dual sim versions.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jollyranchers99:
Thanks for the info , it seems fastcartech who i was going to order the phone from doesnt get the best of reviews looking on the internet

I'm looking for a reputable dealer , has anyone in the UK purchased one of these phones ? if so who did you use ?

I'm ready to order but cant find where to buy
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:

She's shipping products althroughout the Philippines, you might be able to strike a deal with her to the UK. Just wanting to help. Good luck!

Try amazon. I bought my from a seller on Amazon called bluesolar and it arrived already rooted with the play store and Google apps installed. One problem is the caller ID issue is present. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this problem
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
Sorry, what's that caller ID issue?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kwyj:
I wouldn't. It's a fake. (notice the HDC in the front of the model. Nothing to do with Samsung)

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

The caller ID itself works ok, it just doesn't match the number with your contacts so all you see is the incoming number, not the person's name. I've tried all the suggested fixes but none of them have worked for me.

There also appears to be an issue with the Messages app not placing messages from the same person into a single conversation. e.g I have 5 messages from one person on my phone at the moment and they are all showing up as separate threads.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
Yes thats a clone. Do a search on youtube and you will see what the HDC is.

Anyway, I just noticed that issue. I got it fixed by replacing all of my contact's country code from for example, my friend's number is +639151234567 I changed it to 09151234567.

It was a bit cumbersome, I had 118 contacts I changed most of it manually. Maybe this should fix the messages issue as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kwyj:
Unfortunately, changing the numbers won't work for me as I travel internationally a lot (the main reason I got this model phone) and need the country codes.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alif1448:
Changing the numbers worked for me but this is not a good solution . Is this a problem of note 3 itself or SVA rom or only n9002 model?

I just saw third party dialers like exdialer shows the number correctly . But I can see previous call logs in them not incoming calls.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CitizenM:
No caller ID issues if you just root the phone using CF-autoroot (standard odin method) or URDLV method. Must be inherent to the cooked rom some of you guys are using, not to stock roms that have simply been rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alif1448:
I want to ask if only guys who use SAV rom have caller id issue? Nobody who rooted stock rom have ever see this problem? If yes I will go back to stock rom because the caller id issue is very annoying unless SVA solve this in new version of his rom..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CitizenM:
I've rooted a few of these phones with stock rom only. Haven't had caller ID issues. Personally, I'm more comfortable just rooting stock roms anyway, unless there is some overwhelming reason I need a cooked rom. Haven't used SAV, so can't speak to it, but I'm quite happy with my stock rooted N9002.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alif1448:
The only reason I have not used stock rom was that I liked stock Samsung keyboard but I could not install other languages like persian on it .I didnt like third party keyboards.. If any one can find a way to install multilangage original Samsung keyboard on stock rom it will be very appreciated. .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kwyj:
That's not quite correct. The problem was being reported long before the SVA ROM was released and, speaking personally, mine is using a rooted stock ROM and has the problem.

My contacts are all stored in the format +<country code><phone number> What I've found is this:

SMS messages come through with the number in the same format as the contacts but unless I set CallerIdMatchingDigit to -1 the messages aren't matched with the contact name and the Messages app doesn't show messages in conversations. (each message becomes a separate conversation) I've tried setting CallerIdMatchingDigit to 7, 8 and 9 and none of them have worked for me.

One the Phone, incoming calls come in from the network with just the phone number. (no country code) No matter what I set CallerIdMatchingDigit to it will never match the name.

Again - This is a stock, rooted ROM.

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Would you be able to zip up and upload the following files from a handset that's not having the problem?

/system/csc_contents

/system/CSCVersion.txt

/system/SW_Configuration.xml

the entire /system/csc directory

I'd like to compare these to mine to see if there's a difference. I suspect it could be related to the way CID is formatted and sent by the networks in various countries. I'm having the problem in Australia and I saw an earlier post from someone in Taiwan having the same issue.

As an example, the phone numbers here (Australia) are +61 <1 digit area code><local number> This is the correct international formatting.

What the network sends on an incoming call though is 0<1 digit area code><local number> For example, an incoming call from the number +61388888888 will result in a caller ID of 0388888888.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
just for the record im on stock rom too and im experiencing the same issues like kwyj. i rooted using cf autoroot.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CitizenM:
Just speaking from personal experience, no issue whatsoever. Stock rom, China version(s), rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jollyranchers99:
Thanks for the info , will give her a try

Are we saying that the N9002 discussed in this thread is the official samsung dual sim version which is only available in china at the moment ? or are people also discussing clones on this thread ?

It was the clones i was looking at hence the very cheap price , anyone got a decent N9002 clone ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kwyj:
Correct. We're discussing the genuine Samsung Note 3.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

I've downloaded a stock (English) N9005 ROM so I can check the differences in the CSC. Can anyone advise how to mount cache.image.ext4 and hidden.img.ext4 so I can extract the contents? I've tried a loopback mount on linux specifying an ext4 filesystem but mount is complaining that it can't find a valid filesystem.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hpong:
My local number is 8 digits.

I changed the CID to 13. It works for me.

8,9,10 & 11 doesn't work for me.

Once the caller ID works the Messages will automatically works. It will be threaded.

Try it and see whether it works for you.

Make a backup copy of all contacts or export them to sdcard

Fix in the file : /system/csc/others.xml:

<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>13</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>

Open - Settings/Application Manager/All and clear data of "Contacts Storage"

Reboot

Recover or Import all saved contact
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kwyj:
I had already tried every value for CallerIdMatchingDigit with no luck.

What finally worked was adding Csc_Feature_Contact_EnableDynCallerIdMatchingDigitWithAutoSim and setting it to TRUE (this fixed the dialler) then setting CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit to 13 . (This fixed the Messages app)

All good now :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nadaq:
Stock firmware?

Hi, may I know which stock firmware you root? Is it the latest MK1?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mufidaz:
Caller ID seems to be ok with my device/network, but having other issues

Anybody having these issues on SM-N9002 with stock rom, rooted with URDLV and play store installed??

1) Gallery App doesn't work, Error msg, 'Unfortunately Gallery has stopped"

2) Cannot connect to wireless lan, keeps toggling between Scanning and Obtaining IP address

Any help with these?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kummo:
I am having similar problem of sms not threaded.

Can you explain a bit more on where to add this 'Csc_Feature_Contact_EnableDynCallerIdMatchingDigit WithAutoSim' flag? Perhaps the copy of the relevant section of the file would be excellent. I

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alif1448:
Thank you very much . Now the contacts which are saved by country code are shown by they name when they call...good job
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
Hey how did you fix it? im sorry im a newb in terms of editing these codes. can you give some steps on how we can fix this please? thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kwyj:
Sorry guys - I should have provided more info.

First step is to take a backup of all your contacts.

Next you need to modify/add a couple of parameters within /system/csc/other.xml . You can do this with Root Explorer, ES File Explorer etc.

Open the file as text and edit it as follows

Set the value for CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit to 13 so the line looks like below:

<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>13</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>

Depending on where you live, how the phone numbers in your contacts are formatted and how your local network formats incoming caller ID, you might need a different value there. Some people have had success with 13, some with 8 and some with 10 or 11. You might need to do a little experimenting to see what works for you.

Now you will need to add a new line that specifies the value for Csc_Feature_Contact_EnableDynCallerIdMatchingDigitWithAutoSim . This parameter can go anywhere within the body of the file but I put it with the existing Csc_Feature_Contact settings just to keep it neat and tidy. The line you need to add is:

<Csc_Feature_Contact_EnableDynCallerIdMatchingDigitWithAutoSim>TRUE</Csc_Feature_Contact_EnableDynCallerIdMatchingDigitWithAutoSim>

Please be careful if copying and pasting the above parameters. For some reason the xda forum is adding spaces. Just to be clear, the above parameters should have no spaces anywhere within them.

Now save the file.

Now open Settings/Application Manager/All, find "Contacts Storage" and clear all data

Reboot

Re-import your contacts from the backup you took earlier

That's it. It should be working now.

One caveat - I suspect the line I added causes the handset to query the SIM to determine the correct number formatting to use when matching caller ID. (can anyone confirm?) If this is the case it might cause problems if you have 2 different SIMs from different providers that require different settings. Incoming calls on one SIM might work fine while calls on the other SIM might not match with contacts

Hi kwyj,

Thanks for your kind help to us...may i know if you have try to root MK1 as what I know that MK1 firmware

is more stable.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kummo:
It works! To me the Number of digits is 10. And I don't have to delete and restore phonebook everytime. Only reboot the phone

twice

everytime I change the settings.

This sms problem has been bugging me for some time. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kwyj:
I'm not using the MK1 firmware so I don't have any first-hand experience with it, but the rooting process should be the same regardless of the version.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
kwyj i was able to get myself to edit and save the others.xml. ive tried all numbers from 7 to 13 in the digits but for some reason its still not working im missing something here.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kwyj:
Have you tried rebooting the phone a couple of times?

A few questions:

Is the problem affecting phone calls, sms or both?

What format are the phone numbers in your contacts. (e.g +<country code><phone number> , how many digits etc.>

What format is the caller ID being displayed when someone calls you? (how many digits etc.)

What format is the number displayed on incoming text messages?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] kwyj:
The only thing I can think of trying is to set CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit to -1 (negative 1). Other than that I'm out of ideas.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
Thanks, i tried all possible combinations of the settings you mentioned but none really seems to work. anyway, its just a minor issue and i really dont get bothered by it too much.

I read that your firmware is later than mi7. did you root the phone after upgrading the firmware? i would like to try to update the firmware of this phone if its all worth it actually.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nadaq:
Hi, I would like to suggest for ID issues as following;

1. You save a contact with 2 numbers, one with country code and another one without country code. Both numbers

should be saved under one contact.

I know it's quit messy but it might help to resolve the problem...just give a try to one contact first whether it works or not. Mine, work!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] openminde:
How is that a logical suggestion for someone with over 1100 contacts with multiple numbers?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
