[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike_art03a:
Howdy folks, I think I'm in an odd situation here...

I have a Note 2 from Videotron that's been unlocked (they won't warranty it, Samsung's given me the run around), but seems to have developed an odd issue... Basically, I'm running stock firmware, but have been rooted. However, my phone gave up the ghost the other night and I figured just flashing the stock Odin image (from Tesh) would just resolve it.

Well, it got my phone back up and running... sorta. I can't seem to access the inernal storage (which isn't a big deal as I have 32gb micro SD card), and somehow my IMEI number shows up as 'null'

I did some digging around and I found out about the nv_data.bin (and related files), so I decided to dive into the EFS folder and lo and behold... those files seem to be missing. Wifi and bluetooth check out as functional.

I've tried some of the tricks to rebuild it, reflashed the stock image, modem, csc. and no dice.

I've seen talk of being able to hex edit the files from another device to get it up and running, which I don't mind doing. I've been flashing ROMs for a few years now and this is the first time I've encountered this. Also, I'm an IT tech by trade, so command lines fon't scare me.

However, this is stumping me and I really don't want a $730 mini tablet... or if you folks know of a service that rectify the issue for me, I'd appreciate any info. Though, I'd prefer to DIY myself before sending it out to a shop.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike_art03a:
That would probably solve my issue other than the fact that the one tool I need (here) keeps 403ing.

If someone sent me that tool... I might be able to fix my IMEI issue and be done with it. Otherwise... I'm contemplating of getting a crackberry Z10 and be done with android...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he8ob:
Whew, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I've searched through the threads hoping to find something that would help me but I keep hitting dead ends. Ok, When I first rooted my Samsung Captivate over 5 months ago I used Odin method. I flashed speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to my cappy and then I flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2 build 6 and I loved it! Since I liked it so much i flashed Build 7 when it released and then to what Im at now which is Slim Bean 4.3. After I flashed Slim Bean for the first time it changed my kernel from speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to Semaphore 3.0.91+. Yesterday I decided i wanted to switch up my rom to the Avatar cappy rom. So I got the rom and the gapps. I then loaded in recovery which changed to Semaphore CWM 6.0.3.6 after the flash. I then did factory wipe then cache then delvik cache. I selected the avatar rom to install and it gave me a status 7 error. I searched it and it brought me to the mobile odin fix. So I downloaded Mobile ODIN and when it loads it says "A compatible device was detected, but with an unexpected partition layout". So that was just a kick in the face. I searched what ODIN said but didn't get a good answer or fix. I've also tried to switch to TWRP but when I try it says there are no recoveries. If anyone can help me I would be so grateful. I'm kinda green at this whole rooting and rom flashing but it really intrigues me! Thanks.

PS. Sorry if there is already a thread for this. I didn't see anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dparrothead1:
I don't know anything about TWRP but if you are using CWM, do this....do all your wipes....then go to "Mounts and Storage" click on "Format System".....then flash your rom and gapps and reboot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he8ob:
I just tried when you said and no luck. I still get status 7 error
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I don't think you can go directly from 4.3 to 4.2. You might have to flash kk4 without bootloaders and work you way back up.

Imo, even if there was another way, i'd still take that one to be sure to have a clean install.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he8ob:
Ok thanks I will give that a try! I had that same thought so I tried 4.3 CM10 but no luck. I will try to flash that kernal. I flashed the speedmod kernel the other night but it still acted the same. i will give what you recommended a shot when i get a few minutes. Thanks again!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he8ob:
Hey just checking back in! I'm glad to say that flashing back stock worked flawlessly! I used Odin One Click to go back to Eclair then I just flashed speedmod then [4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[RC2]. Everything is running great! Thanks for all the help!

[HTC EVO 3D] calel69:
I have a pretty big problem that I can't find any solution anywhere, and don't know what to do.

I rooted my evo 3d a few months ago and installed the Viper3D 1.6? rom and everything was fine. A few weeks ago, for some stupid reason Sprint was cancelling my phone on the account. The day it was cancelled, before I realized it was, I had absolutely no data connection, and couldn't call or text message. I called sprint and they reactivated it, same phone number and everything. But since then I still have no data, but I can message and call. I can't have Sprint customer service help because they tell me to update profile, prl, etc but I can't access those settings, the Viper3D rom doesn't let me. I've tried everything I know about this stuff, which isn't too much, and I can't fix it. I was thinking to reinstall the stock Sprint rom and update everything then re-root, install Viper and hoped that would work. If I'm wrong about that please tell me. But I can't even get it to install right. My phone info is hboot 1.58, s-on, I tried relocking it and it said relocked but with security warning and it doesn't seem to want to install anything else. Right now I'm keeping it unlocked with the Viper3d still on, and still no data connection. If someone can help me, please tell me where and exactly what things to download, steps to get it working, and if I can somehow update everything and re-root, if that will fix my data problem, please. Thank you.

Does anyone know if there's a stock ROM that has the tethering restrictions lifted?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maidangisme:
uhm, i don't think Android Phone had tethering restriction, unlike Iphone Tethering must be enable by Tel Provider.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Sure. Any non US-branded firmware is unrestricted.

'freedom', heh... :silly:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMFGO45:
I feel like that's false because previously if you tried to tether without the restriction being lifted, you were diverted to your carrier's splash screen wanting you to sign-up for the hotspot option.

Can you clarify what you mean by this? I will be getting the Verizon N3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
It means that only the US Branded versions, the ones that have their own device number, have the tethering restriction.

As it needs to check your dataplan, which only provider-based phones have access to. For some reason your providers have their very own phones, as opposed to simply a different firmware version with a logo on it.

[Android General] Ahijah:
I've been an iOS user for a long time, and am just now starting my switch to Android. Starting with a new Nexus 7 LTE. Anyway, one of the apps that I need to replace is called Photo Manager Pro. I'd link to it, but since I'm new, no go. I've found several apps in the play store, which are close, but not all the features I'm looking for. Specifically:

-Private and Public albums

-Hide thumbnails on folders of private albums

-Transfer via FTP/HTTP (Start a web/ftp server in the app to transfer directly to the app)

-Secure storage of photos (Encrypted within the app, not stored as individual files on the device)

-Backup/Restore options

I'll keep looking, but so far, no luck. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hello all NOTE 3 users!

I would like to ask You about Your Bluetooth headsets experience with NOTE 3.

I started to use BT headsets more than 5 years ago (several types, Nokia, Motorola, SE, recently SonyEricsson MW600 and Sony MW1) and used it without any problems with Note1 and Note2, however with N9005 (stock rom XXUBMJ1) and currently Sony MW1 headset I am completely disappointed:

1. Headset disconnects by itself few times per week, does not want to restart the link by pressing "Answer" button until BT goes through ON/OFF

2. With BT headset connected - a few times per day - incoming calls, and outgoing calls starts without BT headset voice link active (even if BT headset is "connected"- in some cases during the call to start the voice link call bottom-right button on the note3 must be touched 3 times to in fact "activate" the headset voice link... => this should be ALLWAYS working!

3. SONY suggests Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro - problem exists with the software installed, I am testing it now without this software but with similar bad results so far...

Please post Your opinions and BT headsets types paired with NOTE3...

SONY MW1 does not perform well!

Hello, I am continuing tests - NOTE3 + SONY MW1 (most current firmware 0.1.E.1.6) with all software installed is not stable, but without Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro software....it is a Total Disappointment! SONY "Premium" headset stays connected with NOTE3, however almost each phone call - incoming or outgoing

does not activate the voice-over-BT audio (phone bottom-right software button on the call screen remains gray, so the phone speaker is active, even if You answer the phone call by pressing ANSWER button on the MW1 headset) - it seems that BT connection between NOTE3 and MW1 becomes "lazy" few minutes after the phone call end, and then does not start again until phone soft key is pressed, or phone call is dropped and another call attempt is made.

If any SONY development guys are reading- please test it.

I have used MW1 with Note2 - it was not very bad, however much less stable than MW600 which was truly PERFECT.

With NOTE3 this is much less stable with software, and without Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro it does not work at all.

I will write to SONY support soon

Motorola Boom

Using this now after testing the Motorola Sliver II. The Boom is about half the price and the sound is the best I have heard in quite some time.

I use it all day for work and have had about 20 different models but for the price, the sound clarity and loudness make this a great choice.

The Sliver had issues where everyone talking to me said I sounded as if I was in a tunnel.

Try the Boom. You'll see!

Plantronics Voyager Pro HD:

Supposedly 6 Hours of talk time, I would say I've experienced less.

It knows when it's on your ear, but I don't quite know what this function really does because it still works even when off my ear.. sooo

Ear buds don't really suit me, it seems to mount alright on my ear but could seal on my ear better.

This really worked great for me at first on my Note 2.

I don't know if it's the headset because I didn't have issues with my LG G2 or Note 3 however, it seemed to pick up the mic very poorly. People weren't able to hear me well and I need to practically shout for them to hear me.

When I use my car's Bluetooth it doesn't seem to have any issues. It sorta cut in & out on my G2 though now that I remember.

Anyways anyone else happen to have the same headset? :eek:

I used a Jlabs over the ear headset (stiff band type) with my Sony TL till I got the Note 3... Worked flawless with both phones. After an untimely accident with the floor... I had to buy a new one headset.

LG 730 Tone+ Has to be best headset I ever used... sync and works samsungs features... EXCEPT the wake from sleep with voice. Headset is sleep with phone until wakes it... so its the headsets fault for being lazy.

I also use a BlueAnt V1... had it since my Captivate days... works fine... all features work.

I use a jawbone hero or something like that, the black and red one. I primarily just use it for podcasts or audiobooks. It's a single ear and supports a2dp with fairly good sound quality for the headset type. It gets about 4hrs or so of battery life and recharges in 30min or so.

Hands down I agree this is the best bluetooth I ever used and the upside is sometimes when I bike when it rains or snow since I live in nyc this thing gets super wet and still works no problem and it vibrates too for example if my phone is in my bag it's overall one of the best I've use and the sound on it is pretty good too.

Have you tried different USB cables? Did you try only OEM cables or other genric ones too?

Usually slow charging is the USB cable fault.

If its not the USB cable problem then,

Another solution, Have you tried direct/manual chargin the battery yet?

You can check the solution i posted on this link - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2348170&page=2

It is the last comment on the page.

If the direct charging works, then its not ur battery definitely. Could be the charging port.
