[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
I'm in the same boat, after trying to restore a Nandroid Backup via TWRP
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_est_la_vie:
My SM-N900W8 Boot Loop experience...

I've been playing around with different versions of TWRP and Odin all day, but to no avail.

I've either been getting a "Process system isn't responding" mesage and a reboot or just a reboot [over, and over and over again].

With regards to the Process system notification, it asks me to wait for it to respond or close it. Regardless of what I select, it will end up rebooting seconds later.

All this basically started when I tried to restore a Stock-Rooted Rom with TWRP.

I successfully restored (before the boot loop) a Rooted stock ROM through TWRP, but it wasn't until I re-installed a factory un-rooted one that things got ugly..

So I was thinking about this and perhaps the cause of this is KNOX... since the first thing I did when I rooted my phone initially was uninstall KNOX and all of its files. I know these didn't carry over when I did a TWRP backup, which is perhaps why my restore of that backup worked the first time. The second time, I just went and downloaded everything stock and used Odin, and that's when the bootloop occurred.

if anyone knows of a way to solve this, I'd be forever grateful!

I really hope I will be able to fix this...

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] disambiguator:
Hi, I have an AT&T HTC One 32GB and using a laptop with Ubuntu.

Bootloader says:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT-1.44.0000

I'm trying to get S-OFF in an attempt to convert this to a GPE device. To do this, I'm trying to use revone.

When running revone -P as per this guide I get this output:

root@android:/ # cd /data/local/tmp/
root@android:/data/local/tmp # ls
revone
root@android:/data/local/tmp # chmod 755 revone
root@android:/data/local/tmp # ./revone -P
revone v0.2.1

revone failed (error code = 2)

I also don't know if this is related but ever since I rooted my phone, the wi-fi won't turn on. I haven't flashed any other ROMs, just a custom recovery.

I would love any possible help. Thank you. If any additional information helps I'll give as much as I can.

ATT HTC one s-off

I'm having the same issue with my HTC one trying Revone from Windows 7. I have the same bootloader info, same Revone error 2 result, and same problem with the wi-fi.

My wi-fi worked after root until I tried to set s-off. Now it won't turn on, seems to be stuck and my camera is also dead. I have tried flashing a new ROM per the HTCdev website in the hope that it would clear the issue but nothings gets accepted.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ac3kill:
You prob have newer hboot 1.44 you can downgrade to the older on and then s off its just of you get on 1.54 you can't use revone
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gvarnadoe:
I have hboot 1.44.0000 Same as OP. I don't think it can get any older unless the revisions don't go in order for some reason. I could be wrong though.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ditchedthefruit:
I just did S-off on my ONE that I'm gonna send back to ATT for a warranty exchange. It was 1.44 and I used revone and a video that qbking had on youtube. I just did it all on my phone with a terminal emulator. He spells it all out on that video. Check it out

Now I just need to learn to lock my bootloader and run an RUU...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gvarnadoe:
Yeah, I saw that video and tried it as well. Still no luck. Still getting error 2.

Don't do it they will switch your chip and send s-on at least that's what HTC USA in Houston Texas did to me
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtual-aidz:
Hey XDA, long time no see!

Just got this phone, and I can say I'm loving every inch of it! (Coming from a Desire HD)

But I have a single question:

When I have the cellphone plugged in the charger, and it reaches 100%, a notification pops up in the notification bar saying something I don't understand.

My cellphone is in another language, but directly translated it says: "Battery is full. Turn off to save energy."

I'm not worried or anything, but I couldn't find anything about it anywhere, and I'm starting to wonder why LG want's me to turn off my phone when it's charged completly!

Thanks in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ploxorz:
Once it hits 100% battery, the phone will continue to charge slower than normal in order to keep the phone at 100%. It just means your still using a small amount of electricity to keep the phone charged even though it's already at 100%. I just ignore that message and keep it on the charger.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtual-aidz:
Ah I see. It's probably just the weird translation that makes me think I have to turn off the phone :P

Plus the fact that I have never had a phone which told me anything about slow charging, which I knew it would do when it hit 100%

Thanks sir!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtual-aidz:
Ok.. I turned my phone into english, and now when I get the message, it tells me "unplug to save energy."

Is LG really telling me that the charger can't just by pass the battery when it's charged and that I should unplug it?

I havn't unplugged it when I sleep, so far no problems (no heat either, so the battery is indeed shutting off when charged completly).

Why the hell is LG recommending me to take out the charger at night?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesssiii:
I just swipe that notification away when it comes. I also use plastic grocery bags and leave my appliances plugged in when not in use! I?

Gear has duel 4212 exynos according to anandtech.2nd core is disable and one running at 800mhz.

I was wondering if its rooted and active both cores but set frequency 500mhz max both cores.will that save battery and run better or eat more battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sepiroth887:
There is a good chance that while the cpu is dual core its actually either damaged or sorted out hardware from the manufacturing of other devices. Same happens with intel and amd chips where the functionalty is reduces and clock lower than highend cpus.

If you are very lucky however there is a chance both cores work on lower/same/higher frequencies... would be awesome!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeadletters:
I know there are a few different threads about various screen concerns, but this one is specific to color distribution. Sorry if this belongs elsewhere.

I attached a picture of the Note 3 screen without any screen protector while on the dark gray color from the LCD Pixel Testing app. Apologies that the uploaded picture isn't rotated properly. The bottom-right has a purplish/pink tint to it and the top-left has a greenish tint. It's not the camera angle/picture because I took another picture of it from the same angle, but upside down and the coloring moved accordingly.

I also took a picture of the Note 2 under the same conditions to make sure that this isn't normal for other screens, and the Note 2's screen was much more consistent. I've experienced uneven color distribution on the Samsung UN46B8000 TV, but not on a mobile device.

Does anyone else have this type of uneven screen color on the Note 3?

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scorbion:
Im not sure why is this happening. Im now on my third replacement and every one has this hue or tint in different parts of the screen. Im not sure if its fixable but I gave up on samsung. I just hope it goes away after some time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeadletters:
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to check out display models and see how the uniformity is. If they are worse than mine, I'll keep mine. Still, I think that Samsung should really work on this. I've compared it to the Note 2 and S3. All have better uniformity than the Note 3, which saddens me as I was really looking forward to this device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amircesc4:
EXACTLY.

The exact same problem with mine, which I described here in my thread.

I've seen worst when I tried to get my second replacement, so I decided to keep mine.

SAMMY whats wrong with your QC????
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeadletters:
I spoke to one of the tech guys at my work and he said it could be a power issue. The power source could be coming from the upper-left corner and it gets weaker as it goes across the screen, which could explain the gradient-like change in the display. If the pink is at the bottom-right for all our displays, it could be the explanation.

We looked online for a proper teardown, but we couldn't find one that showed where the screen power originates from. I don't know about this because I'm not sure if full/more power would result in a greenish-blue hue. The only evidence I can think of that supports this is that the Note 2 and S3 were overly greenish-blue in tint over the entire screen.

Does everyone affected have greenish-blue on the top-left that fades into pink on the bottom-right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk_iceman:
just tested mine with the app i got no tint or diffrent hue .. I've tested it on AUTO, Manual low, high brightness settings..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
I have these problems since I own AMOLED devices, and that is now for quite some time (see sig.)! Me too had to exchange each device a few times until I got some with a almost perfect screen! On both N9005 I own so far the lower screen side is darker, although there are other significant differences between the two screens: the one of the second device is much more uniform! plus no1 has sharp pitch up in gamma on the leftmost 5mm over the whole side (maybe this screen has been cut out from the edge of the mother-substrate: the more from the center the better, due to principles of metal mask lithography)

I've done a few posts in regard to this in the past, if interested use the search function!

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

Another problem I have: When CUP is on medium to heavy load, screen brightness and contrast start to go up and down slightly each few seconds on all brightness levels, even on manual and lowest brightness! this happens on both devices, although here the first one is a little more stable! for me this happens always when in gallery for example, due to CPU load because of media scanning... Seems to be some load or thermal brightness throttling mechanism implemented (guess: in some part of the kernel)...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
mine doesn't have a hue but on really dark colors (like the dark tapatalk theme) the screen color is uneven on the background.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordBhaal:
My first one was like yours which seems very bad. Took it back got a new one, this one has the issue too, but its not that visible. I wanted to take it back again, but then i saw a guy who took 3 Note 3s back and the last one was the worst. So change it until you find one acceptable and next time wait a bit until Samsung gets better QC, or hope for another player on the phablet market.

do you know what you are talking about??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
amoled is common in that type of tint.. I used all galaxy. Since first galaxy I used.. And now still smiled tech have this tint..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
It's probably not as bad as I make it sound. You can only see it if there isn't any light in the room basically. I took a screen shot of the battery status menu and cropped it to the all "black" part and put a black dot on it. In a totally dark room (doesn't mater what the screen brightness is) see if you can find the dot. It's pretty small you have to zoom in a lot. But using this image I can see the uneven lighting on the screen. If there us ant kind of color displayed though it's totally invisible.

I'm kind of worried about getting one that's worse too. that's what's got me not wanting to deal with it. A lot of them down here have been getting returned to best buy and Verizon because of a signal issue or battery drainage problems.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
Nope. Obviously. ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
So I returned the first one and got another. This one is better but there's a big dark band that goes across the middle. It's not as pronounced as the last one though. -__-
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Try this in a dark room. Using Display Tester app test card Grey #808080 and put the brightness in the screen tester to as low as possible as well as your phones brightness to low as feasibly possible. The check out the lower half near the home button. You will see it being slightly different and darker. Both mine and the wife's do it. Her's possibly a little bit more pronounced than mine. Normal, as I never notice it during day to day or night time viewing. Point being I have to go out of my way to find this so called issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
I can see that horizontal dark band on my screen. But I can really see that and vertical bands on the 2 I posted. lol.

i had same issue i replaced 3 note 3s then in white color there is no tint no screen issue..n checked 6 phones on shop..u r lucky if u get 1 phone with gud screen among ten phones..9 will be faulty and one will be gud....but my shop keeper is a nice guy..but really samsung should fix this issue.

..

people will complain about hardware issue after some time..when they will compare note 3 together..

coz i have too much experienced in note 3 replacement.

i had three note 3s n900 and n9005.And checked 6 note 3s...so trust me..some device perform gud some laggy..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
can confirm this! and it was the same on note1, note2, ... on basically all amoled devices i owned from samsung so far!

the "problem" is the manufacturing process of the amoled screens:

they were cut out of a wafer. in the process of exposing the wafer with a light source through a FMM (fine metal mask) the exposure is not evenly distributed over the whole wafer. the more from the middle your screen has been cut out, the better it is! the gradients (down side darker, right side darker, ...) are due to the gradient light exposure of the wafer before cutting!

so it's all luck of the draw: atm i have one (!) decent screen out of 5 devices! the bad thing is: on this device the thermal throttling is comparable worse then on two of the other devices i have, but on these the display is very uneven!

so it seems to be a hard task to get a device where a) the screen is perfect and b) there are none of the other known problems (wobbly button, thermal throttling, noisy camera, ...) present!

thank you samsung! :mad:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
Mine also has a gradient between more pink/purple greys bottom right versus more yellowish top left.

The effect is most noticeable when screen is dimmer. It is also more noticeable now that I know about it.

Trying to decide if I should exchange it but truthfully it is not drastic and my screen otherwise is perfect i.e. there are no blotches like I had on my older samsung Amoleds. No dead or hot pixels. No creaks.....

I suspect that all the devices probably have this to some effect but that it is more or less noticeable to people. Perfect example I showed my issue to a friend of mine at work to get his opinion if I should exchange and he couldn't notice it on the spot and said I was being picky. Don't want to risk a replacement that is worse. I imagine if this is a widespread issue and is power related samsung could probably relase a firmware update that regulates it and minimizes it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I don't have any screen defects: no lines, no colour tints, no strange hues. The Ghosting is only there on the lowest of lowest of brightness settings, and barely visible even then.

No wobbly button. It's solidly attached, doesn't stick, doesn't move about.

Thermal Throttling only happens very rarely. I've only seen it once.

The camera... well. As a professional photographer, I can only laugh at people who complain about that.

Time for a little lesson people should know about before whining about the camera.

Have you heard of the difference between a Full-Frame and a Crop Sensor camera? The bigger the sensor, the better the quality. A Full-Frame sensor with full quality is 36×24 mm (35mm). A regular DSLR has an APS-C Crop Sensor. Which means the Sensor is significantly smaller, reducing boost costs and quality. (between 20.7×13.8 mm and 28.7×19.1 mm, depending on the price range).

On the lower ranges you get serious noise, artifacts, edge distortion and overall lack of sharpness. We're talking the EOS1000D here, with a 10.1MP 22x14mm APS-C Sensor. Now that's on the lowest-entree level DSLR. (Americans call it the EOS Rebel XS) Remember that the 14milimeter difference between the 35mm and the 22x14mm is significant enough to warrant a 1800 euro price difference.

Now, have a guess how 'great' the quality is going to be on a fixed-aperture 6.17x4.55mm sensor.

Anyone who expects or even demands Full-Frame or even APS-C quality on a 1/2.3" sensor is a complete and utter moron.

Man i'm so unsure whether I should try and get my N3 replaced or not.

It doesnt have any vertical lines or screen tint as far as I can tell, but it has some horizontal bands with different brightness. Its not big but noticable on darkish single color backgrounds. (there are some lighter bands and some darker ones, looks a bit like you lcd screen with uneven lightning).

I will try to get some pics done, but are there actually "perfect" screens out? Without tint and without light issues? On my old N7000 the brightness was perfect, but it had this black problem that all the N7000's had - the Note 3 has perfect black, but the screen lightness is a bit uneven.

Does anyon here have or has seen a "perfect" note 3 screen?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njan_ivide:
I really couldn't see any issue with the screen so far when looking at it directly (touch wood). On the attached picture however, the tint is ever so slightly noticeable (i guess its the cameras inefficiency--- Iphone 4s :D). But my old S4 had this obvious yellowish tint on the top and a pinkish one on the bottom when looking at white BGs (like websites).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zroice:
If you put on a dark grey on the screen and lower your brightness down, are there any uneven brightnesses?

Try putting on #111111 if you can please, and play around with your brightness settings. (only shows on lowish brightnesses)

And how about red viewing angle? If you look at red color from an angle - mine gets a bit orange. But other from that the colors are good, just the brightness is a bit uneven. (the more I work with the phone the more I notice it, especially since I like to use dark themes wherever possible..)

(like on the pictures above, you see the edges of the screen - top and bottom - are darker, does your note have such things too?)
