Hi pficrx

Assuming that you have this Mtk6582 cpu phone can you install Battery Life Repair & post the 3rd tab screenshot it will show real capacity of the battery.

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=battery life repair&c=apps
[Android General] sgsI9003:
I am having some strange issue my OEM battery is giving me poor backup approx 8-10hrs only, when charging the battery is getting charged too fast & jumps from 10% to 40% in few mins, Its capacity shows as only 1000mAh assuming the battery was not 3200mAh I bought an original battery from Samsung & put in friends original Note 3 it shows as 2100mAh (both his OEM battery & my new battery show same)

On 100% charge including the trickle charge just after 5 mins of use the battery start draining rapidly from 100-85% within few mins of web browsing email checking etc (no heavy gaming or videos)

I used his battery & my new battery in the clone both again show capacity as 1000mAh in my clone why is it reading so? Is there a way to correct this behavior?

New battery is thicker than the one supplied with clone & does not fit in the case, I will have to buy different back cover if it works correctly.
[Android General] pficrx:
If you buy the original note 3 battery then you have to buy also the original back cover or similar. The battery capacity that shows 1000mah is kernel fault and not the battery.
[Android General] spanner44:
So if the new orginal battery is also showing 1000 mah, which you say is a kernal fault, does this mean it is only charging up to 1000 mah or up to its full capacity ?
[Android General] s7yler:
your using the app or how to show 1000 mah? I tried it with other phones, and some also show 1000 mah, the app cant be trusted. Because I know one I tried is more than 1000 mah because it lasts for 2 days.
[Android General] dubist:
using an oem note 3 battery here too.

i get battery jumps to from 85 to 60 within 5min !

i get only one day of usage with very low display time and usage.

Anyone Help me ?
[Android General] spanner44:
Thats reassuring as I am just about to buy a genuine Note 3 battery as my two that came with the phone are now on their last legs, just wont stay charged for long, and was worried as these both say 1000 mah with this app, although going on their performance, isn't probably far off the truth.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
So is there a different kernel which we can flash or is there a way to change this value correctly within the kernel?

Battery monitor wizard does have to optionally ignore the kernel reported value & use your known value though I haven't tried tried as yet that option.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

Battery monitor wizard is indeed very popular app & the most comprehensive with battery data analysis try it once & see if it reports the same 1000mAh or not? On original note 3 same battery & same app shows 2100mAh, still not showing 3200mAh so wondering how is kernel reading & reporting the battery capacity?

My battery with normal use have never lasted 2 days but with new battery I am hoping after few 0-100% charge then full 100-0% discharge cycles may regulate its current & should last longer, keeping my fingers crossed.
[Android General] pficrx:
The capacity and flow source shows how the app retrieves mA and mAh data from Android kernel or calculate mA from % and mAh from an internal DB. This is important as the auto-discovery mechanism can be affected by custom ROMs not declaring the true device model.

Battery capacity:

Either Android kernel provides a stock value, or the app knows about the stock capacity of a phone's battery or it needs to be manually entered in the battery calibration settings.

Android is not able to identify batteries, farless provide battery capacities. So the app can only find out about stock battery capacities based on phone model or Android Kernel providing it.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
I found this thread discussing the battery drain due to Google location service, switched it off & manually changed the capacity to 2100mAh in BMW app & now after full day of moderate use in last 11 hours I am still at 80% currently (screenshot was taken at 87%) I think I have solved the battery drain issue :)

What I am investigating further is if android doesn't know accurately about battery can it be told via BMW if yes then I will use 3200mAh as real value & see how it extends the battery life further. This is the first day when it was 100% charged it showed approx 31 hrs of battery life :)

EDIT

Just found this & that gives me the answer too why the new battery showed up as 2100mA

So in my case I have 3200mA battery & 2V output from charger

hence 3200x2 divided by 3.2=2000mA (comes much closer to 2100mA)
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Hi, I've bought the original battery too and I'm testing your method now, because the life of my battery also looks strange, you bought the original charger too? I'm using another charger and the battery looks take a long to reach 100% without the OEM charger.

[Android General] sgsI9003:
No I didn't buy the new charger I am using the HDC supplied charger only which has an output charge current of 2V (as mentioned on the charger haven't tested it though) & takes approx 3 hrs from 0% to 100% including the trickle charge.

Read this & use this guide to calibrate the battery with full charge & discharge cycles after which you should get a good battery backup.
[Android General] genesisalgor:
My Hdc charger it's unusable, based on Bmw he charge about 14% per hour, that's definitely not a 2v Charger and take long time to go 100 in a 0 to 100 charge. I changed to 2100mah in bmw app, and i notice theres a option to see to the total mv when thr battery is charged (approximately 4200mv) and the mv in the start of battery, i don't know. You've also set this? because one thing i really want in this device is a correct show of % of battery, because sometimes my battery is on 30% and after a reboot go back to 60% and look be a kernel bug.

TouchWiz for Note 3

After restoring the system to factory settings I lost the original appearance of note 3 Does anyone have Touchwizz to note 3?

My phone is: HDC Note N9006 ver 4.3/ MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V1.P4
[Android General] sgsI9003:
what do you mean the touchwiz doesn't show you the icons & widgets on home screen? I have touchwiz (need to check if the version is same or not) but you cant install it as any other apk, its a system app so you need to be rooted to push it to system app.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
My charger has printed value of 5.0V 2.0A

Hence 3200mA x 5V then divide by 3.2

16000/3.2

answer is 5000 so I am confused why does original samsung shows it as 2100 only

After 22 hrs I am still at 49%, now it looks like a great battery backup.

No I haven't as yet changed any other value as I need to understand & get the correct value for my charger.

I am now planing to delete all the history & start freshly when this gets completely discharged.
[Android General] Dzióbel:
My phone is rooted of course :) I tried launcher from google play, but it is a bad solution.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
So it seems you have lost original system UI

which files should I attach for you?

systemUI.apk

rServicesHome.apk (this is the touchwiz launcher)

Not sure what all file you would need to make it work.

Since you are rooted just check if your /system/app folder have these 2 files or not?
[Android General] Dzióbel:
I have only systemUI.apk but i can't install :( (i was changed my folders to Read-Write - OK)

I do not have rservicesHome.apk.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
I have added 4 files in this zip folder as I am not sure if they work with each other or not.

https://db.tt/B6iIj9c8

Download & copy the apk files in your /system/app/

Then reboot you should get your touchwiz back hopefully.
[Android General] Dzióbel:
Sorry by not working :( and now i lost my upper "toggles" (wifi,BT, GPS options etc.) this is bad solution

EDIT: I fix this. I have backup system on my sdcard. Now everything OK. Anyway thanks for your help :)

Can you tell me how to get back to factory settings without losing touchwiz??
[Android General] sgsI9003:
What is MTK chipset number? it usually is 65XX, mine is MTK6572 that might mean that my stock apps may differ from your version...just my guess.

Good that you could fix the problem, normally factory reset should get us back to stock setting & look but seems these clones have rejigged the roms internally so after resetting they loose samsung bootup image & some apps, however samsung boot screen can be brought back by typing a 5 digit code, I tested with one of the clones.
[Android General] mickrick:
My 13 year old son bought one of these in December and everything is fine except it keeps randomly going into sview mode. It then becomes unusable until it decides etself to come back out of sview mode. Not even a restart or pulling the battery fixes it.

Anyone else had this problem? Is there a custom ROM available that irons out bugs with the system?
[Android General] sgsI9003:
It seems you have S view mode getting switched on if yes then disable it from settings, just look in settings where you can disable it.
[Android General] Dzióbel:
Hmm my chipset is the same MTK6572.What is the code for back samsung boot screen?

Yes, after resetting system i lost apps.

But i know which apps responsible for Touchwizz. It is Launcher2 and signedSecLauncher2_1009.apk. After install i can not change my wallpaper :(

I gave up with this solution.
[Android General] filip_pine:
Ok Guys, after trying alot of tutorials and alot of GPS solutions, finally i have managed to get my mobile phone N9006 Max to lock position and find satelites... here is the living proof

Chipset MTK6589 1.2Ghz

I only did the Software Method, and it seems to work...

If anyone want the step by step tutorial, i can do it ...
[Android General] pficrx:
Can you type the tutorial ?
[Android General] filip_pine:
of course buddy...

This is how it works for me :

We need the following :

> Mobile UncleTools

> Faster GPS

= First of all, we need to have ROOT Acces to the Device =

1 - We need to delete the old GPS Data File which is mtkgps.dat

( It is located in data/mtkgps.dat or data/misc/mtkgps.dat )

Also search with any file explorer , the gps.conf file and delete it...

- After we delete the old file's...

2 - Open Faster GPS and Select Your Continent and Then Your Country

3 - Reboot Your Phone

4 - Now Go to MobileUncle Tools - Engineer Mode - Engineer Mode(MTK) and Navigate trough the menu until Location Based Service and YGPS

5 - Now Open Location Based Service

6 - Go to EPO Tab and be sure you have selected the Enable EPO and Auto Download

7 - Now press EPO (Idle), this will take about 1 minute, until it download the new EPO FILE acording to your new selected Region and Country which you select in Faster GPS, this way it speed up the locking position of the device

8 - After EPO Download Completed, go to the GPS Tab and Change Session Timeout from 600 to 800 ( this will help the device to not terminate the locking session earlier )

9 - Then thick the Box Log NMEA ( this will keep the new locked position and it will be very helpfully at the next locking, which will be much more faster, sience the device will keep the locking coordonate Lat and Long )

10 - Now thick the Box Full, under the Log NMEA

11 - Now press GPS (Off) and Turn ON GPS

12 - Press View Tab

Note : For the First Locking, you have to be Under the Clear Sky, normally the first lock it will take About 4,5 min ( my case )

Wait Until you have at least 4 Green Bar's

15 - Very Important Step : After We Get at least 4 Bar's, Now we have to keep the new Locking Position, which is our new Country and Region, soo, after we get at least 4 Bars, Immediately Press GPS Tab

16 - Now Press Ref Position and Apply Last Location

17 - Go Back to Location - YGPS and Press View

Wait Until you Get Green Bars , this means the GPS has been locking...

I can do also a Video Tutorial for those who don't understand this step by step Tutorial.

This Method has been Tested on my Device : N9006 Max MTK6589 1.2Ghz and it works
[Android General] filip_pine:
after 30 min i post this tutorial, my phone has stop charging... :(:(:(

i flash again the original ROM, i have tried with another charger, but still ... it dosent charge... :(:(

it was working flawless sience the day i bought it... but now ? :confused:
[Android General] genesisalgor:
I remember one guy in this thread have the same problem, but he have solved this. This look to be a "common" problem on N9006 the second time I hear about this. So I hope this never happen in my device :rolleyes:, but i higly recommend use another charger, because the one who comes with the phone is not trustfull, and if you plan buy the original battery the charger is a shame.

About your GPS solution, previous this steps you also have the problem of never get fixing bars? My phone not even show me a bar.

EDIT:

OMG Filip_Pine congratulations man! After 4 months with my device, I never had to get any fix of GPS until now, and after your method i get signal and in very good quality! Thanks man. Still testing, but finally the GPS looks breathing.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
Try these codes

[Android General] filip_pine:
For the guy that requested root explorer 3.1.3 , This is the most stabile version. I use it for a long time and it does a great job.

P.S: I have manage to charge my mobile phone it turn out that is was a faulty USB cable.

you welcome buddy, i'm glad that my method helps you... like i told you.. i have been trying alot of tutorials, but none of them working... finally i have manage to lock GPS by trying alot of combinations... this one works and i was able to get lock position.

About my charging problem, i do use an Original OEM Samsung baterry, but it was charging ok until last night... it is a faulty cable, because i was try with another cable and it seems to charge ok
[Android General] Dzióbel:
Thanks a lot :) :good:
[Android General] hektor2hektor2:
Can anybody do a cwm recovery backup of rom. I have this phone, but after hard reset nothing of google services seems to work. Force close to all google apps...

Thanx
[Android General] sgsI9003:
There are several version of note 3 having different version of hardware MTK 6572/6589/6582 hence you need to define what version do you have before asking backup of the rom as roms are different on different hardware & vary in features they offer.

I am struggling with the same problem & cant find solution to this problem I will check in my case if its changing MAC address or not, how did you find out that MAC address of the phone is changing after deactivating?

ok, lets take it easy, you say that you have a backup of your original ROM ? if u flash it, what happend ?
[Android General] gabil1n:
touch dont respond well and back button dont works
[Android General] vonnig:
Let me help explain.

[Edited] I also have the HDC Galaxys Note 3 Rose Gold MTK6589 - SM-N9006

Likewise, recently (like 2 days ago), I did the same thing and I have had sleepless nights since.

Process:

1. Backup ROM using MtkDroidTools v2.5.3

2. Backup userdata using ROM Manager

3. Flash system with a ROM that corresponds EXACTLY with my phone.

4. On completion - phone will not boot or charge even after removing and replacing the battery.

Recovery:

1. Restore backup ROM using both SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1316.0.150 & SP Flash Tool v5.1343.1. Both resulted with a DRAM error.

2. Downloaded alternative ROM with similar numbers but not identical - instead of having the baseband as seen below, it had a baseband stating:

Official Version : JSS15J.M900ZCUBMJ3

Baseband: N900ZCUBMI3

3. Since the system was softbricked, I had to do something to recover and flashed the above ROM successfully.

4. I then restore my backup ROM and it was successful.

Issues:

1. The back button doesn't work. I had to download the "Back button" app to mitigate the problem.

2. The entire screen alignment seems to be off. For example, trying to type the letter "G", I have to tap on "F". When selecting an item from a row, I have to tap below the intended item to select it correctly.

Desperately seeking help! :(:crying:

[Android General] vonnig:
Yups... from FCT...

It only came out in March 2014.

Basically, everything was working fine. The GPS was odd, I managed to lock on twice and that took me almost an hour out in the open each time. After those two times, it refused to lock on again. In my haste and frustration, I removed the YGPS.apk module via TB and was not able to get it back. So, I had to flash the ROM, which is where I am right now...stuck:eek:

I'm looking into a few avenues to fix it but have found that I'm not that much closer. I've run a screen app and found that the screen size is for a 5" screen and not a 5.7"

gabil1n,

Unfortunate that we're both in the same predicament. Sorry, m8, I can't really share my backup ROM coz it contains all my details and accounts. I wish I had a truly fresh copy of it though.

I have mtk6572 based note 3 from local market, so I dont know if its hdc make or any other make.

It has following bugs

1. gps locks but have issues even after downloading EPO files

2. Bluetooth bug connection dropping

3. battery reports as 1000mah & behaves erratically while charging & discharging.

4. No IR remote function

5. no multi window

6. Spen works but have issues (not working smooth)

7. usb otg not working

8. 512mb ram only

9. 1gb rom only

10. led flash is not so usefull in dark

I am thinking of buying another one from a local shop should I buy mtk6589 or mtk6582 based note3?

In past I got to know from your post that mtk6582 is newer faster processor but what I understand is that there are many note 3 clones based on same chipset as seen here

http://www.fastcardtech.com/search....hcmNoX2VuY29kZV90aW1lIjtpOjE0MDMyODY0NDk7fQ==
[Android General] s7yler:
Why not take the newer MTK6592 then?

1. http://www.fastcardtech.com/HDC-Galaxy-Note-3-N900-android-phone.html

This is the Octa core model, it is the fastest, downside: it has no s-pen and no IR blaster. But it depends on whats important for you.

2. All these on http://www.fastcardtech.com/search....hcmNoX2VuY29kZV90aW1lIjtpOjE0MDMyODY0NDk7fQ== looks like to be lowend models, small models with low specs. They are only 5.5" and only has QHD, no real HD screen.

3. Or just the Max here http://www.fastcardtech.com/HDC-Galaxys-Note-3-Max.html

But not sure if they are sending it now with MTK6589 or MTK6582.

Oh I wish they were available here in my local market but they are not as yet. Spen is why I bought note 3 hence that is required.

By looking at the box we cant make out which version is it until I open it & load some apps to test I will see if I can find this Max version.
[Android General] vonnig:
s7yler,

The specifications are the same as I can also use the infrared remote control.

For the ROMs, I have tried a total of 15-18 ROMs from needrom. Some of which I can boot most of which won't boot. Those that DO boot, still have the back button disabled.

I think that there must be some kind of manual customisation after the ROM is installed.

I have tried to change the resolution and density but doesn't work as I don't know what is the optimised settings.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
Yes that seems to be the case that is the prime reason that you loose boot up animation if you factory reset it. Though there are codes to get that animation back after factory reset, I have tried on only 1 handset it may work on others but not sure.
