[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nys299:
My XZU loses LTE signal after every call comes in and remains in 3G for long time before re-connecting to the LTE signal again.

Is there anyway to rectify this?? Its very annoying because 3G is extremely slow on the device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
you could add some settings into the build.prop to enable 4g to kick in sooner.

Sorry I'm not sure what they are...

But by default 4G is set to óff' when making calls to save battery.

The following enables 4G all the time. But that would reduce battery life. Probably only 3-5% depending on how often you are on a call.

"lteOnGsmDevice=1""

The next settings will increase the download /upload speeds

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hep=1

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=20

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

If youre not sure how to make these changes to your build.prop just post another question here... I.. or someone will help you out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nys299:
Thanks....so any kind soul can assist to find where the build.prop file is?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
sorry thought you may have known...

O.K. are you rooted??

yes - lets continue

no - lets stop. You wont be able to access this file unless you have root access

I'll assume you are rooted.

a) Do a backup. Sometimes (not often) modifying your build.prop file causes boot issues)

b) Use a file manager and navigate to your root directory. just go back as far as you can. There will be about 5-10 folders, and a file called 'build.prop'

That's the file you want.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nys299:
Nope I am not rooted. Anyway to do so without roothing? I am a simple user.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
No unfortunately...

There is no way to access these root files unless you are rooted.

This is the reason why users want root access. To change some default settings and make a few tweaks.
[Galaxy Note II General] Cocolopes:
Please backup your SD card first...Im not responsable if you loose your data!

Well...I have some problems using apps like GoBackup or titanium backup...or EsFileExplorer in all the AOSP 4.4 roms.

I can see my external SD card and all the files but the apps search the files in:

mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/

When the files are in:

mnt/extSdCard/

So I tryed a lot of things like formating sd card....o trying to make some shortcut to the folder....but nothing work.

Now I found a way to make it work...its not complicated but is no permanent...at least not all the parts...

This are the steps to do it...maybe someone can make it permanent or change the permision directly in the new builds for now on.

1) Use a root file manager (I use EsFileExplorer) navigate to /etc/permissions/ and edit the file named as platform.xml

2) The file have to be like this:

3) Now we need to give the right permissions to the folder, so, navigate to mnt/

4) And set permissions like this:

Thats all folks!...

Now...if you reboot the phone....you need to set the permissions again....step 3 and 4.

If someone can tell me how to make the permissions to be permanent....send me a PM!

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] codo2003:
Thanks very much for this..

It works for me now all the way ever after rebooting the device..

Advice: dont try this on Galaxy note3 Official kitkat for N9005 ,i tried it and of course app will be able to access external card but bluetooth wont turn on .

it may be just me but i wanted to let you guys know it. (i am reflashing the official kitkat)
[Galaxy Note II General] henrik.dk:
could you just add a chmod line in the init script to overcome the reboot issue?
[Galaxy Note II General] Arslan Manzoor:
Bro I'm following the steps properly but whenever I go to mnt folder to do the step it says operation failed whenever I set it to root and it doesn't let me save the edited text file. I edited the platform file but it says changes won't be saved.
[Galaxy Note II General] avatar_ro:
So for this fix i need Root?

yes i need :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Cocolopes:
I dont lnow how to do that....but I dont use this anymore....all the 4.4.2 roms for Note2 are fixed...

This is not for note 3...and this is not for official builds...
[Galaxy Note II General] VTR1000SP:
which region is ur note 3? cos my note 3 XSP official 4.4.2 still break, only using your method woks for me to write to ex sd card.

[Galaxy Note II General] henrik.dk:
what do you mean by fix?
[Galaxy Note II General] Cocolopes:
Note 2 dont have official tw 4.4.2 rom...only 4.4.2 AOSP roms. Im not a dev so I can help you...and I dont have a note 3 :(. Sorry

Now all the AOSP 4.4.2 roms I try in my NOTE 2 [n7100] have the problem solved...I dont need to do this any more. I talk to the devs and show my thread and they fix it. I can read/write my external sd card like in 4.3 roms...
[Galaxy Note II General] henrik.dk:
Interesting, how they could make the meida_rw to 777 in the ROM? I probably should ask the rom devs in s4 to get same fix in. Thanks.

Will ask
[Galaxy Note II General] Cocolopes:
They only need to merge the fix from note 2 sources. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] henrik.dk:
do you mean that source code needs to be available for the dev to have a fix?

that is not so good news as s4 source is not release yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] Cocolopes:

[Galaxy Note II General] AWretchSavedByGrace:
Internal SD Card read only?!

Hi all, I'm not hugely au fait with modding my n7100, and have been running version of the Revolution HD rom for the last 12 months (without issue).

I decided to see what the new ROMS had to offer, and went with CM10.2 (one of the latest nighly builds).

My Android Version is: 4.3.1

Baseband: N7100XXDLK7

Kernel: 3.0.64-CM-gb4c422f

CyanogenMod Version: 10.2-20140126-NIGHTLY-n7100

Build Number: cm_n7100-userdebug 4.3.1 JLS36I 3eb33f45a6

The reason I'm posting here is because my internal SD card (storage/emulated/legacy) appears to now be read-only. I can install apps, but I can no longer download to that location, can't move files within that location, and apps like SwiftKey (with it's user dictionaries) don't work properly because the user language file can't be loaded. I'm also having no success restoring data and apps using Titanium Back up Pro.

I've tried updating the platform.xml file (using a root file explorer), however as I don't appear to have a media_rw folder, I don't think the update applies, and is certainly doesn't work.

I'm somewhat confused, as I though this permissions issue was a result of a 4.4 rom being flashed.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II General] munghong:
Nice workaround!
[Galaxy Note II General] plskillme:
I can't seem to save or overwrite the 'platform.xml' by any means.

I don't even have that dir '/mnt/media_rw/'
[Galaxy Note II General] TiedCone:
I was looking for fix of this issue as well...

but having a problem to keep changed media_rw permissions and owner after reboot. Any clue how to fix this?
[Galaxy Note II General] plskillme:
It's a recurring problem after every phone reboot. Sadly, there's no other way around it. The only fix I came upon is that you backup your files that are on your sd card to pc via card reader, format the sd card on your N7100 after the backup process, flash a new rom.
[Galaxy Note II General] Technical:
The steps 3 and 4 are blocked and I'm using ES File Explorer in a S4 rooted phone with SuperSu.

Any solution? Does this issue even got any solution?
[Galaxy Note II General] DaffyOnLSD:
Yes. Use FX FILE EXPLORER with root and all that.

Don't forget to remount file system as R/W top right [lock] of the file manager.

Enjoy.
[Galaxy Note II General] Elesco:
Cocolopes - Thank you very much for this help. I thought you might like to know, that I followed your steps on a (Rooted – Kit Kat 4.4.2) Samsung Galaxy S4 and it works. Now I’m able to back up my data to extSdCard using My Backup Pro and Titanium Backup Pro. I wonder if I’m able to move my apps to extSdCard as well. I move to move as mush apps/data I can to improve phone performance. I need to try it. BTW, tu eres Boricua?

Sabor y Gracias!
[Galaxy Note II General] Cocolopes:
Thanks...I think that you need to implement the apps to sd card feature in the rom (and I dont know how to do it).

And Im not Boricua (I dont know what that mean....sorry).

Aside from flashing a Custom ROM, any work around for this Samsung default settings. It’s been a recurring issue since early days Note and Galaxy series and it’s still unresolved in our Note 3.

Alternatives:

-SoundAbout apps from Playstore is one alternative, but I’m reading some reviews that it’s creating some problems with calls and music player settings, though I haven’t tried it yet.

- Tasker apps, though it’s a paid apps. You can create a profile and to turn the notifications to mute when playing music or videos.

-Manually setting up your notifications to MUTE before plugging in your headset.

Sorry to necro, but has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have a very difficult time believing that this was an intentional 'feature'; the Note is marketed for enterprise use, and many if not most businesses frown upon ringtones warbling through the workplace.

I can't expres how deeply annoyed I'm with this feature aka but, I mean I do lower down the volume to 0 - Mute before putting headphones on, but it seems anytime I lower down to a lower volume, it doesn't save this, even though there is no phone restart, Samsung has proven to be absolutely unreliable, this **** doesn't happen on a Nexus, so it doesn't seem to be an android problem, what is this thing.....I mean iphone had the reliability with the ****ty restrictions and now Samsung with this ****, I think consumers need something which is worth the amount of money they pay, these companies are becoming philthy rich by selling smartphones but in reality they don't nearly deserve, a patch to iphone makes you lose all your data, they should be sued honestly, this is just disgusting and then these 2 companies are fighting with each other on who will make more money, hey stop, first of all both of you need to pay back the consumers whose money has been paying for your heavens..........

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anison7:
Thanks

So, you're the first one whose Solution worked, now I did install Soundabout, it said Pro features will work for free for a trial period of first 2 days then you would know if it works enough for you so you can buy it or not, it worked right away after installing the app and restarting the phone (Very Important Step), but I'm hoping I don't need to have the PRo features to have this issue fixed
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiru:
Glad it worked..... Sorry, should have mentioned that I was using the pro version. The real reason why I use Soundabout is that I connect my phone to car via Bluetooth and I also physically plug in my phone (via the 3.5mm headphone) to the Aux input of my car (I am just not a fan of Bluetooth audio quality). Soundabout was the only program at the time that would still be able to answer calls via Bluetooth while using the headphone jack as a physical audio out (this was my S2 days as).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nys299:
Its getting more and more often. My XZU screen goes crazy randomly. Crazy means.....like multiple presses on the phone are happening at the same time and apps are starting without pressing, even the homescreen goes crazy and goes into edit mode and the crazy ness is so crazy that I cannot even turn off the phone because the moment I hold down the power button and it shows the power off window, it immediately goes off. I cannot go to the apps I want because random ads are all going off at the same time. This whackyness normally goes away when I reboot the phone....however, I discovered today that after rebooting the symptoms came back immediately. I had to reboot twice more in order to get the phone back working properly.

HELP!!!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
you could change the sensitivity of the screen.

There is a file that you can edit.

navigate to system/usr/idc "max1187x_touchscreen_0"

If you edit this in a notepad app or root explorer... then find the code:

touch.filter.level = 2

and change it to 4 or maybe 6.. to make it more sensitive..

- or 1 to make it less sensative

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] eureka9:
I also have this problem. It's mostly because there is water (even very small amount, like sweaty fingers) on the screen. Just wipe the screen and make it dry.

Also for some people(like me) the problem only happens on a certain area of the screen. That area of the original film on the screen is damaged, and water on that part of the film just won't go off. You can try washing you phone with tap water, and you can see that water will stay on the defective part of the screen forming a small water pool, and clean and dry(maybe some water bead) on the rest part of the screen.

I've sent back my phone to sony for repair. Hopefully they can replace the original film. If not I guess I'll go for another screen protector.

I have tested several firmwares (downgrade/other firmware etc.) to solve this issue but no chance to get the N9005 upon running.
