[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAJ32:
Hi,

I am having some serious trouble with my note 3.

The basics of the problem are that the lock button seems to lock the screen but once pressed again it shows whatever was on the screen before, not the lock screen!? Holding the lock button does not come up with the turn off/reset options.

Another odd thing that happens along with this is that any application that is opened or closed the screen flashes black before opening up.

Along with this I have found that the alot of the native apps, including phone, contacts and most annoyingly, CLOCK, crash also. Making me late for work and rendering the phone useless unless I do a battery pull.

I will note that the most odd thing is that I contacted our business contract guy who who i expected to tell me to do a soft reset, told me that the supplier would swap out the phone?! That was last week and the new handset is showing early signs of the same thing.

Neither phones are rooted and I have not installed any unknown sources on the new handset to be sure it wasnt an outside source?!

Any help would be appreciated.

Factory Reset

if not solve ur problems, try Odin flash tools to flash another stock ROM

if not work take to service cause it should be hardware problem.

:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAJ32:
But why would the problem occur on two separate brand new devices?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancapitan:
because you have the same app on both phones :highfive:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAJ32:
lol....any suggestions what sort of app?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Does it also happen before you install any apps?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAJ32:
Well some of my apps install straight onto the phone.

Do you think I should remove as many as possible and try then?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] editthisvm@gmail.com:
Same exact issue here

I am having this same exact issue. First happened when I installed a SanDisk Ultra CLASS 10. I thought the card was causing me compatibility issues so I returned it to amazon. This was just a few days ago. The only thing that worked to fix this issue was to remove the battery.

On the way to work today I suddenly couldn't play any music downloaded from Google music to my device. However, I could stream music that was not downloaded to my device. I also couldn't view any pictures in my picture gallery. I tried rebooting the phone and guess what -- I got the same exact issue as the original post above.

I wasn't going to mess with my phone while driving so I made up my mind that I was going to return it to verizon tomorrow. About an hour into work I picked up my phone and it gave me the onscreen instructions to swipe up to get flip board -- same instructions it gives you after a reboot. I then tried playing the same music that wouldn't play before and it played. I tried viewing pictures in the gallery that were inviewable before and they were now viewable.

I'd like to know what is going on too. I can't just give up to the fact that my phone doesn't want to work at certain times of the day so I just have to give it an hour.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The best thing would be to remove all non-factory apps. But yes, start by removing as many of them as possible.

(If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and cache wipe through the recovery menu, and don't restore a single app. (I'm not talking abouy the bloatware, we all have those.))

If there are no problems at that point, add back your apps one by one. (no restoring anything, make sure they are clean installs.)

Eventually you should run into whatever app is causing the issue.

Same issues

I reset the system to factory settings and started arranging only the installed apps and widgets and I got the same lock screen issues.

This time the phone wouldn't go to the lock screen but it would give me the option to restart or shut down. I set it aside again and when I picked it up a few later it showed me the home screen wwith instructions on how to access flipboard -- as if it was reset! I have a warranty on mine so I'm gonna return it to verizon tomorrow or friday.

i rooted my transformer prime tf201 with motochopper and tried stupid as i was to install beats audio drivers without any backup. It said app/driver installes sucesfully. Then it said reboot required and i rebooted with the result that it now is stuck rebooting (when i start it it shows the asus logo and then the start animation with the spinning whee apears and doesn end) ever since i have the default bootloader without a custom rom. I tried booting the recovery image option within the bootmenu and wipe data/cache etc but nothing seemed to work wich doesnt suprise me reason beeing that i dont have much idea what i am doing. I would love to be pointed into the right direction where to search for a fix. Thanks in advance :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jpearsonhome:
hoping someone on here can help!

I got XDA Exec (latest firmware), and a Fuzion bluetooth GPS receiver (model: fgpxbt02), And Tom Tom navigator 5.2

I cannot get tom tom to see the GPS receiver at all.

I paired the device ok and selected serial port and created an incoming and outoing COM port.

When I configure GPS in tom tom it says "no GPS device (flight mode" - by the way the device is NOT in flight mode).

This happens when I select 'other bluetooth GPS', if I select 'other NMEA gps' then the COM ports are not listed.

HOWEVER...

I also have XDA IIs, and the only way to have the Fuzion GPS receiver work with it was to select 'Other Cable NMEA GPS' and then COM6.

So it would Seem that the option to use the com ports I created as an 'other nmea device' is not available because its only for bluetooth connections.

Is there anyway round this, or is there anyway to force 'other nmea device' connect on another port than those listed in the options?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knirirr:
My i9505 has been misbehaving when trying to connect to 5GHz wifi since the 12th of October, when I flashed the then-newest official Cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly; before that it had been working with any problem on those same nightlies. Something must have been introduced between then and the 2nd of October; I didn't do any flashing during that time as I was abroad on business, so I'm not sure exactly when the change might have been introduced. Since that time I've moved to a 4.4 ROM but the problem persists.

It seems that I'm not the only one having problems with 5GHz wifi on AOSP ROMs - Google turns up various problems on different ROMs and devices. There are even suggested solutions such as editing text files in /system/etc/wifi or changing one's router's channel. None of these work for me.

The symptoms vary. Some of the time the device will simply refuse to connect to 5GHz networks. Other times it will connect and work normally for a time, anything from approx. 1 minute to 30 minutes or more (the latter making me think for a while that the problem is fixed). But, eventually, apps will stop getting a network connection and I'll be unable to ping anything. Despite this total lack of connectivity the wifi indicator will show that the device is still connected to Google's servers. Turning wifi off and on will start the cycle again, until I give up and switch back to 2.4 GHz.

This is rather frustrating and I wonder if anyone has any clue what it might be, or how it might be investigated further.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Necika:
Yes, i have similar problem. i changed few custom roms, and nothing helps. First, it works normal, for few minutes, then wi fi go automaticly off, and then i cannot connect to wi fi network :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastido:
I noticed this on 4.3 all versions, but since I updated to 4.4 official on my i9505G, the problem went away. I think it may be s bug in the NON-HLOS in the 4.3 roms .. official or otherwise.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knirirr:
I think it came in on 4.3, and I wonder why it is still affecting me on 4.4 as some people are reporting that has been fixed.

When official jfltexx CM11 nightlies come out I'll try a clean flash to see if there's any change.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knirirr:
I decided to try something similar - I updated to the latest UK firmware and then did a clean flash of an unofficial CM11 4.4.1. 5GHz Wi-Fi still doesn't work properly, as above.

I can get better results within a couple of metres of the AP.

Hi Guys,

I've been planning to create an app and so far everything is going to plan. Everything has been designed very nicely by one of my friend who is the charge of the design of the app. The four of us are just stuck on the idea on how to have integrated/built-in videos to the app. so when people play them they wont open up on a on a browser and can be viewed offline if need be. Just so everyone is aware we have only been thinking about this for the past few weeks, and have been from that point till today been just designing, how its gonna look, where all the bottoms are gonna be, the layout and how we organize everything.

The problems is that i have researched so much online that its unbelievable and i still can't find anything anywhere like its impossible to do this. If someone can point me in the right direction I would be really thankful.

[Java for Android App Development] PicomatStudios:
Have a look at VideoView and MediaPlayer, they'll give you the functionality you need.

Their performance on versions of Android < 4 varies quite considerably (particularly once you start adding them to complex layouts), so if you can steer clear of those versions I'd advise you to do so.

So I followed Redmond Pie's How To Remove Bloatware From Android Devices The Easy Way Without Root guide (I can't post a link to it yet because I only just joined XDA, but you can search the title in Google :p) but I can't find the 'apply ZIP from SD card' option anywhere in recovery mode. Did I do something wrong or doesn't the DX support this? Did anyone else try this method?

Someone might have reported me as a spam and they took action.

Or

I was sending group invited randomly to people who added their details, may be they took it as spamming?

But note 2 group admin did the same and nothing happened.

I wish there is a way out.

Ahh, mass adding numbers may have triggered their spam filter, however in order for it to work you need to have people in your phone book so not sure why it has triggered. - It is possible it has been reported or an online bot has picked up on it as the spread sheet is available publicly? -- Their support does indeed suck tbh, spam them on Twitter they usually reply pretty quick there!

EDIT: Alternative is to set up a BBM group instead man they have a massive group function and it's easier to manage

hi guys,

i am new to rooting android, but i rooted my lg phone successfully but i wanted to get lg g2 keyboard so i downloaded a g2 key board and renamed my stock keyboard and tried to install the g2 keyboard. i some how messed up and now my lg l5 does not have a keyboard in it instead it loads up the voice typing when i start a new message or when something has to be typed. my original keyboard is not present in my system/app. can anyone help me to get my stock keyboard or any android keyboard in my lg l5.

thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] abstractVoid:
in the meantime you can download a keyboard from the market then go into settings and change to the keyboard that you downloaded, by renaming your keyboard do you mean you have backed up an apk file? (By renaming the original) If so can't you just remove the keyboard you tried to install and then rename the original?

Hello,

i9500, Stock MJ8, rooted

I just updated to 4.3 MJ8 and want to get rid of some additional system apps.

I run into 2 problems:

1) If I use ES file explorer (Root enabled), I can access the files, but the delete operation fails because "read-only file system", although I can see that read and write is enabled for root. Permissions for the folder are "rwx r-x r-x", the file permissions are "rw- r-- r--". Actually, it shows me that I have read and write permissions on both folder and file but I have no idea how to change them, if necessary.

2) Instead, if I want to delete those system apps with Titanium Backup Pro, I (or better TitaniumBackup) simply does not find them. One example is the system app "InteractiveTutorial.apk". If i enable all filter criteria, TB just does not display, although I can see that it is in the /system/app- folder. This is valid for many other system apps. A support question to TB was not answered.

I checked the search within XDA, but I either get 2900 results or none. TB-website and EStrongs website also didnt help me.

Does anybody of you have a helping hand for me, please?

Kind regards

I am not over 10 metres high by the way - the distance between devices is less than a metre... if I hold the M5000 in my right hand it's better... and no problems occur in my car with the M5000 on the console to my left.... strange stuff...
