you can get a replacement camera lens on ebay for about $14. depending on how handy you are it shouldn't be hard at all to replace. (i wouldn't have a problem replacing this)

lost phone vs trade in phone

just wondering would it be better to just report phone lost if warranty service is need or could the status of my note 3,s root access be known anyway,,, do they store an electronic record

I just typically remove all T-Mobile apps anyways, well other than Visual Voicemail, comes in handy from time to time. If I have issues and I call them, they have enough access..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HothTron:
Without rooting, that doesn't do us non rooters any good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dongarritas:
Just go to settings/general/application manager, and turn all that bloat off. No need for root, just click on app in manager clear data, uncheck auto upddate, and click turn off. Boom.;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
That's fine to do just remember that when u reboot its enabled again...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dongarritas:
That is only true if you Force stop. Many of the Samsung and T-Mobile apps actually have a "Turn off" option. This will survive a reboot, but maybe not an update. I reboot into stock recovery every couple of days to wipe the cache partition, and they stay turned off, at least on my device. Factory image 4.4.2, plus T-Mobile update, stock, not rooted.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] adventure_of_link:
yeah really, I mean with the Jump! plan and having two phones purchased six months apart, you can literally change without a problem (had to rig it this way since when I got my S4 last spring there was no jump!, however several months later when I signed my sister up on my plan she was able to get jump! and several days later I did). hence why I have a S-series and a Note series. And with the jump! plan, what's the point of doing OS updates, let alone caring about voiding a warranty? you're gonna get tempted to change your hardware every six months anyway (and of course it's a given that you'll get the latest-ish software (eg: latest Android is kitkat, however there's 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 IIRC))...

that being said, to the topic at hand, I ran Tmo's performance check, and I had no bill increases (other than Google Play purchases and PSN points purchases), phone bricked, won't work on the service anymore, yadda yadda yadda. all it did was cry cuz I rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] konceptz:
Am I the only one that thinks this is BS?

For an app to check root, it must do one of a number of things including:

1: Try to write or gain access to a system file - which would trigger a root request.

2: Scan for Supersu or other root apps(not executable) - which doesn't prove anything.

3: Scan for the SU executable in the system directory - which could work but still doesn't prove that you have "root" access, only that there is a file which string matches the filename that was hardcoded into it's app.

None of these, except for #1 if you allow it (lol) will PROVE that you have root access to your device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
I rooted mine, and I have SU. It doesn't require now root permission.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] v2.2v:
Exactly. I have jumped twice already. Turned in a rooted phone both times
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
Did anybody read the disclaimer before MyAccount program starts? I have disabled part that checks for root, but I could swear the one time it run, it showed disclaimer that no personal info is send to T-mo, so even if they cared about it, which they don't, they claim not to collect the info. The one thing that I don't like is the carrier IQ, which does collect and sends some info and it's invisible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
It's already been said, but uninstall that app. With that app installed, Tmo can actually remotely log into your device when you call them with problems and see everything on it. I have read a couple instances of it from other XDA members; as well as I called the other day about my S5 and some data additional data that was on my paper bill but not my online bill, and the guy said "lets check your phone... hmmm, that's odd, I cannot log into your phone. Is your tmobile My Account App working properly?" to which I replied "no, it's not there." He commenced to tell me that that could be a problem, warranty, blah blah blah. So we got into a very long discussion about warranty to which he had no reply where it states in their contract that I absolutely voided my warranty with root and custom. Long story short, he said he was marking my phone number as warranty something or other and that I had customized my phone. whoop-de-do, prove it when I drown it or throw a brick through it for a warranty claim if I ever need one... :D

Hi Guys,

Whenever I remove the battery from my XDA 2S I lose everything and have to set up the OS from scratch.

I have spoken to O2 and they have told me this is normal? But how can this be? It is the most stupid thing I have ever heard.

Please if someone could just tell me if their XDA 2S does this I would be more than grateful!

Thanks in advance.

Jonnycash!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mikealder:
Go to settings/ Power icon and check the status of both the Main Battery and the backup Battery, the first could be at any charge % the backup Battery should be at 100%, this is used to hold the data on the phone for a short duration, sim card swap or battery swap with the machine selected OFF first. If its loosing data then there is something wrong with it, I can remove the Battery on my IIs for 10 mins if need be without a problem - Mike
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Jonnycash:
Yes the Backup Battery is at 100%

It loses everything as soon as I take the battery out, I can put the battery straight back on, start the phone and OS setup begins.

When you say selected "off". Do you mean quickly pushing the power button once.

I have done this and still it loses everything.

Looking forward to your response.

Jonnycash!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mikealder:
All I can sugest are two options

1, Return the phone as it is clearly faulty, demand O2 repair the unit or try for an Exec as a replacement as re-compense, you might get this easily as they are no longer offering the IIs.

2, install something like Sprite back-up and configure the back-up to re-install everthing hardly ideal, and this is not what I would do.

Mike
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Jonnycash:
Yes, I have just got it back from being "repaired". they said that they replaced the circuit board but it still does it.

I will send it back as suggested and try get a new one.

Thanks

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Canaan:
After taking out the battery, try not to push the tab(the one you pull back and the battery pops up) that holds the battery back into place until you re-insert the battery.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] fluffcat1:
Sounds like a duff backup battery to me ( see pic), changing the mainboard would seem a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I have had this with blueangels after re-assembly, even with the backupstatus at 100%. I leave on a cradle charging overnight then do a hard reset - seems to work for me.

Richard
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] caloy:
i have that problem as well before. but maybe this will help you a bit.

because i always do it removing the battery when changing my sim card. how i wish they would put the sim card away from the battery. ( calling the attention of the engineers for future references).

i started on the permanent save check mostly on contacts and appointments (I needed them all the time) (start>settings>system>permanent save). then i usually turn on the flight mode then turn off the pda from the power button.

thats the time i take the battery off and either to swap the sim card of the battery. then it automatically go to soft reset when the battery is back you will notice that after the automatic soft reset, there will be a small window showing appointments and contacts restoring.

i hope this will help.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] KTamas:
I've had this, once. I've heard that this is a bug of that little black thingey that holds the battery, because it supposed to switch between backup battery and normal battery. Too bad sometimes it does not do this at all...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kdskamal:
finally this happened to me to today. I by mistake took the battery out and when I put it there again, it hard resetted itself. Many of my notes were stored in main memory, which I had taken from my teacher just 30 mins ago :(

It happened to me again few days ago, under 2003SE (I had to downgrade for something). One thing i love in WM5 that I don't have to worry about this.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mremhan:
It has happened to me many times as well as I am always changing batteries. As somone mentioned above it seems to be a bug with the battery holder (the little black tab you clisk to hold the battery in.) I just keep my contacts backed up each time I add a new one. as for the applications they can usually waite till I restore them.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] isk2005:

need a good and working solution for this...........
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] fluffcat1:
Re: need solution..

Eeerrrr. how about ' replace the battery' - they are standard cells...

Richard
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mremhan:
Mabey its not clear what seems to be happening here

When you drop the unit and /or when you open the little black clip that holds the battery in place. Somtimes the phone looses all stored information and goes to hard reset. There seems to be 2 bugs in action here.

1) The batterys seem to get into a strange state where they dont work properly. (I have found that putting the battery into the rear slot of the charger reconditions it to fix this problem.)

2) Some units seem to have a bug with the battery latch when you open the latch accidently or somtimes even just when changing the battery intentionaly it seems not to switch to back up battery corectly. My theory is that there is a dead zone in the latch that does not make the correct transfer if it isn't fully engaged in either direction. It is a really poorly devised way to handle battery changes but hey its too late for them to redesign it. I can not say how many ppl have this issue or if it is everyone or just some people but I do know this is the case on mines and many of the forums I've read.

Solutions:

1) Back up your unit whenever you add data to it. you can just do a contact list back up which only takes 1 min for me and my sx66 has over 2k contacts. Do full back up once a week that should cover your apps and data.

2) Keep your battery reconditioned at least once a week use the rear charging slot for the battery. If you only have one battery this is not an option so I suggeest if you are going to keep your sx66 for any length of time buy a spare battery.

3) Recently I have begun using a small peice of duck tape to secure my battery latch. It is a pain in the rear but I have droped my unit once in this configuration and the battery and latch stayed in place.

Additionaly:

To make restores easier you can include some of your favorite applications in your ext roms. Just snoop around in the forums and you will see directions for manipulating ext rom.

Also look into changing the directorys where you store information. IE your mem card and the onboard storage directory seem to never get nuked unless it is done by the user.

Anything short of the above listed or replacing the hardware is not viable, because these are HARDWARE bugs. Version 5 avoids this issue because it does not hard reset your data like all previous versions of ppc. However the hard ware issue is still there it just doesnt effect you. But if you upgrade your rom be carefull because you are trading the bugs you know for the ones you don't know...lol

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
So I tried to flash Omni 4.4, coming from PAC, had to delete my old PAC zips to make space for a Nandroid. During flashing Omni, I got an error, turns out I needed the latest TWRP version which wasn't mentioned in the OP. Tried to restore the Nandroid but TWRP just freezes. Can't mount the storage in TWRP, flashed the latest version in boot loader, tried to flash but setup wizard force closes so that's useless. Flashed CWM recovery and it can't mount either.

Anyone got any ideas?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripin150:
At this point do you want to just go back to stock and try again from there, or still trying for Omni? I would fastboot flash recovery again, wipe with fastboot -w (if you're coming from 4.3 you might as well). If you can, ADB sideload Omni, if not, try your zip again.

Try restoring with TWRP again, too. Put your phone on the charger and start the restore, give it about 20 minutes before you give up, twrp semi freezes on me all the time.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
I'll be happy with any sort of life. If I have to wipe everything, go to stock and root again then stick with PAC, then so be it. Do you have any links handy with flashing stock RUU via bootloader?

I'll try that now. Press on the backup to restore it and it hangs at that screen, but I still get feedback if I press the back soft key, is that what you get when it happens to you?

Edit: HA! Plug my phone in to charge, try to restore and it works first time. Cheers for the help anyway!

So I've gotten myself into a real mess with my nook. I was playing around with it and accidentally deleted my user partition and when I was trying to repair it I ended up wiping it of everything... So as I've been trying to fix it with Nook Manager which creates a backup but I don't think its a functioning one because when I press restore backup nothing happens. I also tried doing a factory restore but it says the factory restore.zip is missing. I can't find either a backup img or a restore.zip for the NST online anywhere. Is there any hope or is this thing gone for good? I would really appreciate any help people can offer.

Actually you can compile busy box and use busybox -I and it will install all the links too. Same thing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
if you are good with linux you probably wouldn't have to ask the question so i'm guessing you are a linux noob or light user. it's usually done with an apk or update script because there is a lot of typing involved doing it manually. and apk or script only has to be written once and distributed.

basically busy box is all the binary programs that run in a terminal/console shell rolled up into one file, but to get it to respond you have to simlink the name of every one of those commands to busybox in a folder that is in the PATH. usually /bin or /xbin or /sbin or something to that effect, i guess it depends on how they laid out that stock directories....

you could take the suggestion above, i've never compiled it, i guess you'd need a cross compiler on a pc? but now you are def getting into things that if you know how to do you wouldn't have to ask.... but it could be a learning experience.
