[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xdad_0001:
1. Should I backup the efs before every rom installation or is doing it once enough

Once is enough, unless you want redundancy for some reason. As long as you have one good copy, you can restore EFS if it ever gets corrupted.

2. How likely is it that the efs folder/partition become corrupted

Not very likely. It's never happened to me personally. The point is that it can become corrupted, so at least one good backup is recommended.

3. When backing up it said one file missing is that because it gives you three different backups to restore 3 different ways?

How are you backing up your EFS?

4. If I ever had to restore it would I have to be on the same firmware I was on when I backed it up or does it have nothing to do with the firmware?

EFS contains phone-specific information like IMEI, so should not normally be dependent on which ROM you're on.

5. Would copying the efs folder to a backup location then moving back if it ever gets wiped work?

I would recommend keeping a few copies around. Copying the backup to a computer in case you need it later is OK.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mk1matt:
I can activate WiFi on my Exec, surf the net absolutely fine and then disconnect WiFi (to preserve battery life). If I then reconnect the icon appears on the top bar, but nothing happens - it doesn't connect basically. So, I then try and disable WiFi and nothin happens. The icon is still there, though clicking it tells me it's disabled (option to turn it on again).

No matter what I do at this point, I can't get it to connect again unless I soft reset. I'm having to soft reset a couple of times a day at the moment.

Has anyone else had this problem? More importantly, does anyone know of a fix?

Cheers,

Matt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mutantstargoat:
Well done for getting it connected! I am on O2 in the uk with a brand new exec, and a d-link wireless router, and cannot get it to work. For the last year I have been using an XDA 2s on wifi with no problems, but cannot get the exec to go. It reports that the network is available but will not connect, regardless of wep settings, tried most things.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received while I still have my sanity.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mikeycrawford:
I have seen this problem on my O2 Exec. If I activate the WiFi I get the antenna symbol then it chnages to the tranmitting/receiving icon and then I'm connected to my NetGear wireless access point and can surf the net.

When I switch off Wifi and then back on again, I get the antenna symbol but no transmitting/receiving icon.

If I switch it off again and back on, hey presto I get connected again. I can live with it.

For the guy who can't connect to his D-Link have you set WEP or WPA-PSK on the D-Link? If so, try it with no encryption and see if you can get it going. Once you can connect, thats when to start adding in the encryption. If you have the option, choose WPA-PSK as it is more secure and the PU10 (Universal)l supports it (according to www.wifi.org)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZayedQamer.zq:
So yesterday, I tried installing a custom rom and what happened was that the MD5 sum was incorrect and i wasn't able to boot into system and had no backups so was stuck thinking that it was the end of the world.

What happened next was utter follishness in which I used this command in bootloader -fastboot flash zip rom.zip- what happened then was that the rom was transferred but it tried to install it and failed and a consequence now I cant even reboot into recovery now. It,s like when I start recovery it skips that and progresses to the htc logo.

I relocked the device and unlocked it via the Unlock token I had and again tried to install the recovery and it did but didn't reload into it and skipped to the htc logo screen.

Can anyone please help me with recovering my phone since I just bought it today.

One possible thing that comes to my mind is using the flash command in the fastboot, will it help or any other ways? THANK YOU in advance...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbinder:
You can adb sideload still. Use adb to reboot into recovery via USB and sideload a known good ROM with a correct MD5 sig. No need to remind you that checking the MD5 is of utmost importance ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZayedQamer.zq:
Bro, problem is that recovery doesnt work at all n where will i use adb command? In hboot?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Reflash the recovery and after this, do an erase cache:

fastboot erase cache

.

After you can boot into recovery and use the adb sideload function...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZayedQamer.zq:
I'm gonna try this and will report back! Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZayedQamer.zq:
I was able to enter the recovery but I try to install the rom.zip it says that cannot mount data and internal storage

What should be done about this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
With an error like: E:/ enable to mount internal storage?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZayedQamer.zq:
yup with both internal storage and data, its not able to mount either of them
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
So:

- Flash the stock recovery

- Boot into bootloader

- Do a factory reset

- Reflash a custom recovery

- Teoritecally, this will work

Any word if there will be an official port?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
Yes, eventually. Note 1 & 2 are currently supported.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Give it 1-2 months... when Note 2 came out, it took almost 2 months before they started building CM for it... though that's because it was Exynos 4 which caused a zillion problems building the kernel to make all the hardware work, and the ROM itself. Our Note 3 is Snapdragon 800 which is very easy to support, and with Samsung's kernel source already available they shouldn't have too many problems bringing it up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EvoYas:
I hope so, its sad to see no variety of custom roms so far :(

[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
The only thing stopping us from releasing Themer on other resolutions is that we don't have the resources to re-build each theme for the ones we'd like to support, including: 480x854 (lots of devices), 800x1280 (Galaxy Note 1), 768 x 1280 (Optimus G), and any other phone you might have.

If anyone would like to help out, let us know. This requires extreme attention to detail, skills with Photoshop, and deep familiarity with the Themer design tools (including Everything Widget). Obviously you also need to have a device with one of the above (currently unsupported) resolutions.

Please note that when we talk about resolutions, we are referring to the out-of-the-box available screen resolution, excluding any space taken up by softkeys/navigation bar.

If you want to work on this, PM me. Please explain why you'd be a good candidate (examples of themes you've built, proof of Photoshop expertise, etc.)

Thanks!
[Themer General Discussion] leandrocn:
Just guessing...

Most of the modders - like me :) - uses different DPI resolutions. For example I modded my downloaded theme to match my 190 dpi setting, moving icons, shadows, and so on. Would not be a nice idea if the elements should be placed relative to screen, instead of fixed-pixel-based position ?

[Themer General Discussion] votum:
Guys,

There is no need to individually create themes at each DPI. There are plenty, CM Theme chooser and Buzz Launcher that both are DPI independent. Maybe dig around in there code to learn how, but having a theme for each DPI might be a mistake, as people will use other launchers if the theme they want isn't usable
[Themer General Discussion] Lirkaren:
I agree that it is a misstake. I wan't my navigation at 70% or 36 DPI and this means that I can't see any theme in this launcher, but if I change to stock layout and apply a theme and then change back to navbar at 70% the themes still work great. Is there a way to see and apply themes if you don't have stock dpi and navbar? If not it's a dumb move by the developers sense the themes seems to work fine.

It seems like it could be a great launcher if it worked "like it should", but I uninstalled it after a few mins and wen't back to Nova.

Hope you fix the launcher so people can change rom, dpi, navbar etc without the app complaning about it and not showing any themes...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seth.kamins:
This is very very small, but I use Chrome for everything. I just upgraded from my Note 2 to a Note 3. I use the built in time and weather widget from Accuweather. When you tap the widget you get a more in depth view of the weather, however to really see what the day is going to be like you need to click the more button which takes you to Accuweather mobile. On the note 2, when I tapped the more button, the website would open in Chrome. On the Note 3 it opens in the Internet app. I have tried to clear defaults for both the weather app and for the internet app, but it always opens in the Internet App. There is no prompt to choose Chrome over the Internet.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc6500uk:
It seems that the Internet app cannot be disabled without rooting and using an app like Titanium that can 'freeze' it. I find the default internet app very annoying as it constantly 'talks' if any accessibility functions are enabled like Tasker, Lightflow, Pebble etc.

Whether this is caused by the app itself or Touchwiz or Android itself remains to be seen.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equatorius:
I trying to mess a little with the GNSS (~GPS) settings in the NVRAM (I want to see if the SBAS entry is there and if it's aready enabled + possibly turn it on if's there but turned off).

I tried to set the phone to "modem" mode with EFS Professional but I can't find any USB drivers what Windows 8.1 x64 accepts, so PC tools can't connect via the emulated COM port (which isn't exist without the proper "modem" driver...).

Is there a beta version of the Samsung driver pack (newer than 1.5.27.0) which supports this phone?

Is there a hidden menu inside the phone by any chance (which can be accessed without using the USB modem mode)?

By the way, it's an i9195 (T-Mobile HU) with CM10.2 nightly.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickozx:
Ok, what's the deal with all the firmwares available for razr i and wich one would work in Canada...

I just got a Razr i, after i was unable to get a XT905 working with Rogers in Canada. Was working only with Bell and Telus. Rogers use 850/1900, bell and telus use 900/2100 frequency.

Now i got a razr i, retail great britain version.

It is not working with any of the carriers here. Well it work only a couple of minutes. Then it fall on "emergency only" and loose the radio.

I tried it with a Rogers sim card and a Bell simcard, same deal. Work fine at startup and loose signal a couple of minutes later.

What's the point to get a quadband phone unlocked, if it cannot work anywhere in the world ?

Is there a firmware version that would work worldwide ?

Or, maybe it's the phone that is defective ? But i don't think so...

Does someone have a razr i working in canada and wich version software do you have ?

Do i try flashing some versions or i just put it back in the box and return to the shop ?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacbarahona72:

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickozx:
Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately i tried it and it doesn't work. Did test usa and euro bands, forcing gsm only, no luck.

Strange thing, when i search for available networks, instead of Rogers i see "302720" wich is the network i.d. of Rogers.

But it should read Rogers in clear text, as it read Bell and Telus networks.

Sometimes it loose signal after 5 minutes, sometimes after a couple of hours.

Is it possible Razr i could not work in Canada ? Does someone use one ?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my_esperanza:
I have Razr i working on Rogers for 4 months without any problems. Retail GB version with 91.2.29001.xt890.Retail.en.GB rom. May be your phone is defective?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickozx:
Thank you my_esperanza, that's the kind of feedback i was waiting for.

I have the exact same version of firmware too, so the phone is going back to where it's coming from.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Idrito:
Hi, i got my themer beta code some days ago, since its only for phones, i used an app called MarketHelper to get it.

I activated normally, everything ok, but when i went to themes section there are no themes showing.

I used the resolution confirmation and its showing an applicable one.

I'm using ParanoidAndroid so i think it has to be a way to make it work. I already tried the per-app settings.

Help?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ProbyWaN:
Themer currently has no tablet support as far as I know. So not sure if you could trick it into working or not. Let us know if you do!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] blackroseMD1:
Themer doesn't support the 1920x1200 screen resolution.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Qbsti:
You have to use the default resolution (i guess the phablet one is default for N7) and keep the dpi on stock values.

I had the same problem on my nexus 4. I changed the layout from phablet to phone (the stock one) and the themes showed up :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Slappy_G:
So I'm a samsung n00b - long-time HTC user - but I noticed something strange.

I was playing with either a Verizon or Sprint GN3 @ best buy and noticed that the Auto-Brightness had a slider to tweak it from -5 to +5. I am trying out a GN3 from T-Mobile and I do not see that option for auto-brightness tweaking.

Is this something T-Mobile purposely/accidentally tweaked in their ROM only? If so, do any of the custom ROMs for T-Mo replace this functionality? I'm a paid user of Lux, which kicks ass, but it tends to use more battery than I'd like.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
They removed it. And no, as of now, wanam xposed doesn't even work. (just that part of it). You could flash an international rom to get them back if you really want it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Slappy_G:
Those rat bastiges. I can't imagine any good reason why removing that would help users.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wing_addict_usa:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
There's no good reason for having a carrier check to use tethering either. There's no reason for Verizon to remove blocking mode. There's pretty much no reason for anything stupid the carriers do :)

Really?

I always have it at full brightness so this means nothing to me

Sent from Flip's Note 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Slappy_G:
Correct - the Samsung ROMs natively allow you to tune the auto-adjustment. So you can make it tend to be brigher or dimmer, but still have it auto-adjust. For some reason, the T-Mo ROM pulls this out. Go to Best Buy and play with a Verizon or Sprint GN3 and you'll see the option.

Frustrating.

Thanks for the assist. For the record, I do love Lux, but would prefer to use the native option Samsung already built in if possible.

What r you guys talking about?

I have the plus minus on brightness slider. Is this what u mean?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
Yeah, but you're using xposed which requires rooting. Or you have the N9005(international unlocked) not the N9005-T (this is the tmobile model). Tmobile did remove it for some reason and the only way to get it back and working is to use an international rom. Even xposed doesn't work. It puts the slider back, but the slider does nothing. I have xposed, so I'm not just saying things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] circuit.007:
I'm tmobile and yeah I'm rooted and running exposed. I just actually used it and yeah it does nothing. I never actually tried to use it. I see the problem now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
Hum...yeah I too am using xposed and just noted that it does nothing in regards to this. Bummer. Any other way than flashing custom ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
I was just about to search this topic. Why the hell would Tmobole remove this feature? On the T-Mobile note2 auto brightness was too aggressive as is the T-Mobile note3. Big sucker of battery life. I've been doing brightness manually the last couple of days and my battery life has almost doubled. This is one of the few things that make me miss my international note2. I've been out of the flashing scene for awhile because I didn't want to trigger SDS on note2 so I haven't had time to read up on flashing international ROM. Is it as easy as flashing recovery and then international ROM without radio? Does some of the bloat go away?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabGuy:
One of the things I liked best about my Note 2 was the turn by turn voice. Very nice, soothing female voice. In fact, I never used directions on Waze because the Google voice was much better. It's the same voice used on Google Now.

The Note 3, however, uses a Samsung TTS voice that is simply horrible. In fact, I'd say horrible would be a compliment. Very nasally and computer-like. What happened to the Google female voice? She's still there on Google Now, how do I get her to be there on navigation? I'd hate to think that Waze is the best I can do.
