[Flipout and Charm General] raymondadutwum:
sorry about that, i encounted this problem the first time. what i did was, i replaced network files of the current rom with the previous rom, so if you did as i said you should have a backup of this folder(bp_nvm_default) from your previous rom.if you do then replace it with the current one and restart your device. If the problem persist, download the baseband switcher app from the next post and select the desired settings or do it over again (flash a stock rom and apply the update). let me know what happens:cowboy:

I took the plunge and flashed the latest version (Boo-CM-7-20130930-RC4 v0.7.3) over my T-mobile blur ROM.

It flashed fine and everything was okay. Apps appeared after a reboot as in the previous version.

Then the battery died. On trying to charge the phone it gets stuck on the M logo. And nothing happens.

Earlier it used to go to a scree where it shows the current battery percentage.

But now it won't charge. I got into download mode to flash the T-Mobile SBF but it says battery too low to flash.

Any suggestions on how to get around this?
[Flipout and Charm General] raymondadutwum:
You should consider changing the battery though there may be nothing wrong with your current battery.

If it doesn't work, try to apply this forums update.

[Flipout and Charm General] raymondadutwum:
Hi, sorry for keeping to waiting. if what the os is not working then you have to install a different rom.

1. download and install RSD Lite.exe

2. download any custom rom that you desire

3. Make sure yor phones drivers are installed on the computer that you are going to use.

4. Power up your phone while holding the Arrow up key then you connect the phone to the computer.

5. After the driver installation open the RSD Lite.exe

6. Navigate to your custom rom and select it.

7. click start.

I deleted the stock email app can someone shoot me a link to the app please.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
I think I stumbled upon a simple fix for an issue, my phone had. The phone would get hot, and drain the battery at a rate of more than 20% an hour. It didn't matter if I had a good, or bad signal, or if I was on wifi, or what I was doing with it, as long as the screen was on, it would drain. I monitored the CPU clock speeds, and noticed all the cores were usually close to being "maxed out". I found "IndexService" (com.samsung.indexservice) was the culprit. As a test, I went to /system/app/, and renamed 'ContentSearch.apk' to 'ContentSearch.bak', and rebooted. The heat/drain was instantly gone. The only problem was, now, my phone's storage wasn't being indexed (obviously). I renamed the file, back to it's original name, and replaced my 64gb micro SD card, with a blank smaller card, I had lying around. Problem gone!.

I copied the contents of the 64gb card, to my computer, and deleted most of the files from the card. I re-inserted it, and added files back, a few at a time, until I found the folder that was causing the problem.

Let me know if this works for you.

tldr; Problem is caused by a file (possibly PDF) on the SD card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Borii:
So simply renaming the file and reboot? Lack of indexing has negative effects?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
Well, yes, I guess you could just rename it, but that's not the best solution. You have something on your micro SD, or internal memory. You need to delete files, until you find the problem file. I backed up my card to my computer, and deleted most of the stuff on my card. It took more than an hour for the phone to index what was left on the card. Eventually all of the CPU cores went to idle, and my phone cooled off. I then added files back to the card, and gave it few minutes, each time, to stabilize. After putting one particular folder back, that contained a lot of PDFs, my heat/battery drain problem, returned. I had found my problem. I re-deleted that folder, and everything was good, again. I just googled it and found some other people in Italy (had to google translate), that came to the same conclusion.

I have around 4500 pictures on my 32gb micro SD card and I did have camera upload "on" on the drop box app....this was causing the same issue.... I did turn it off and erased whatever was inside a folder named "cloudagent" on the phone and the problem was gone... I guess the index service was constantly transferring cache and thumbnails from the SD card to the phone

so what was it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Vitsya818:
I have the same problem, I'm using a note 3 and i didn't have this problem before. I had a water damage and after drying, changing the charging port everything is working fine except my battery would die within hours; even if i Do Not use the phone it would drain within 6-8 hours. I just tried it without the sd card today and so far in 4 hours i have 80+ % and i have over an hour of screen time. Im not sure what the causes this problem, i'm thinking of cleaning the motherboard with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol Antispetic Solution to make sure the is no power leakage.

Also how much data do you guys have on the sd card, could i be because we have more then 32gb ? Any ideas what i should look for on the sd card ? i mostly have music and pictures.

Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
My 64gb card, was almost full (about 52gb), when I transferred it from my Note 2. I've deleted enough files now, to get it down to 35-40gb used. From what I've read, it can be a corrupt mp3, or video. My problem was a pdf document. I backed up, reformatted card, and added files back a little at a time, until I found the folder, causing my problem. I haven't bothered checking to see which pdf in the folder, was actually causing my problem.

Hi, I was directed to this page from a topic in the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition...I don't have the battery draining problem, but my tablet gets really hot after I put my 64sd card in it...I could not understand how to fix the problem(due to English issues)...but here's my guess:

1) I should remove the SD card from my tablet, put it in my laptop and format it

2) then put it back to the tablet

is that what we're supposed to do?!

and what do I do to put my stuff in SD card back to it?! after doing this can I just take the sd card out of the tablet and put it in laptop?! or I should conncet the tablet to the laptop?!

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
You have one, or several corrupt (bad) files on you micro sd card. I bet the heating problem goes away when you remove the card. Is that true? If so, remove the card from your tablet, and put it in your laptop. If there are files on your micro sd card that you want to keep, copy the files from the micro sd card, to the laptop. Then, format the micro sd card. You can format the card from the laptop, but, it is probably better to remove it from the laptop, put it in the tablet and format it.

Now, with the blank, freshly formatted sd card, in the tablet, you should NOT have the heating problem. If the tablet is no longer getting hot, begin to transfer files from the laptop, to the tablet (You can transfer the files, by removing the card and placing it in the laptop, or just plugging the tablet, into the laptop). But, it is IMPORTANT that you only transfer a few files at a time. (Transfer a few files, or folders. Give the tablet at least 10-20 minutes, to index new files, you just added. If the tablet remains cool, add more files. Keep repeating the process, until you find the batch of files, or folder that causes the tablet to begin to heat up again. Now you've isolated the bad file(s). Delete that bad file or files, and everything should be okay.

Sometimes the indexing service, only runs when the screen is on. So you will have to set the screen timeout for a longer interval (maybe 10 minutes), while you are adding, and testing files. If you don't, you may think you have solved the problem, when in reality the tablet cooled down because the tablet when to sleep, causing the indexing services, to also stop.

Let us know if you get your problem fixed. I also have the SM-P600 wifi Note 10.1 2014. It's the same fix for Note 10.1, and the Note 3.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] swamks:
Thanks

Yes it starts heating up when the SD card is in...

I format the card with laptop a few hours back and put it in the tablet and it got better, but still a little bit heating, the first night I was using it for a long time and there was no heating!! and I really liked the tablet because of that!!lol!

I will format it while in the tablet once again...

question: what if one of those bad files that needs to be removed is a file I really need?!

and another question regarding the battery and charging process...since you have one 10.1 I'm asking you this...so, how should we take care of the battery?! should we wait for the battery to drain fully and then charge it to 100 percent?! or it's better to let it swing between 40 to 80 percent like ion batteries for some cellphones?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
Unfortunately, if the file that's causing your problem is one that you need, the only options are deleting it, or leaving it, and living with the heat, and battery drain.

I use my tablet, each day, and charge it overnight, while I sleep. Like all batteries, there is a limited number of full charges the battery will accept. A simple way to look at the battery's life span, is to think of it as a pie. There are a limited number of slices that can be cut from that pie, before the pie has been completely eaten. If you cut large slices of pie (80-100% charges-- charging when tablet is at 0-20% battery level), you get fewer slices, vs. lots of smaller slices (example, charging when the tablet's battery is 50-70%). But, both pie slice scenarios, still equal one complete pie (100% of the useful life cycle of the battery. The point where it will no longer take a charge). This doesn't take into account, any characteristics of the particular battery type that we are talking about, (NiCad, Lithium ion, ect..). Some types of batteries live longer, if they are completely (not really completely, just mostly) drained, before be being recharged. Where as other types prefer to be topped off, regularly.

I personally don't worry about it, too much. I just charge at night, or sometimes, I'll grab a quick charge when convenient, during the day, if I don't think I'll be near a charger again for a while.

Indexservice never stops due to some kind of PDF files !!

Hi, like I wrote in another thread, I spent half a day trying to understand what was driving nuts the indexservice service (sorry for the word pun), and I'm sure I found what it was. In my case I'm absolutely sure they are a kind of PDF documents, to be more precise, if I save on the SD Card or Internal Memory this kind of PDF files (they came from the FIGC, the Italian Football Federation site), the service "indexservice" starts and never stop, nor if I delete the PDF file from the phone or card !! I have lots of other PDF file on the SD Card, even very big PDF files with more than 400 pages, and the indexservice, when I copy them on the phone, just came up, works for a few seconds, and goes away, like it supposes to work !! If I can help someone, I attach to this POST one of this PDF file (obviously is in Italian, but I don't think it really matters !)

Bye and hope Google or Samsung (don't know who really cause the problem) will solve this problem that is a really annoying BUG !!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FancyMonkey:
I have been having the same type of issues that you described with battery drain/overheat issues. Basically if the screen is on the battery drain was pretty significant. Even with most things turned off (Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, Locations) I would lose about 1% every 4 mins even if I wasn't using the phone much. I did have several 20+ page PDFs on internal storage, so I will see if deleting those helps like some have suggested.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
I don't think the size of the pdf matters, but I am confident that you have a "corrupt" file. Once you delete it, your problems will disappear. Keep us informed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FancyMonkey:
Well I deleted the PDF's, restarted, tested it again and I still lose about 1% every 4 mins that the screen is on. It seems to be regardless if I am on Wifi or 3G. Even if I close down all my applications and just let the phone sit, it still looses the same amount of battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
You may have to start from scratch, and remove remove everything from the internal AND external storage, and add them back, a few at a time. On a french language forum, some found other file types, caused their problems, such as mp3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FancyMonkey:
Ok, let me try that and see if I can narrow it down that way. I used to be able to get great battery life, but I just noticed it about a week ago and I don't remember what all was installed when the problem occurred. Let me start with removing everything from the internal storage. I don't have any external storage yet. I was actually waiting till Black Friday to see if I could find a decent priced SD card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FancyMonkey:
I deleted all my documents and it still had the same battery drain. I deleted all the music (none of my own music, it was only a couple app notification sounds and the one music file that it comes with), and then I got better battery usage. I am now getting 1% for every 8 mins, which is a big improvement over only 1% every 4 mins!

My test was done over the course of 30 mins to get a good average battery drain with the screen on.

It's awesome for Zimbra users because you can search back as far into your email as you need to (ie-an email from last year still on your server) Also, you can check a co-workers schedule before sending meeting invites. Lastly, you can access online files in your Zimbra Briefcase.
