[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtiko:
Hey guys

I have a Galaxy note 3 with Rogers here in Canada (SM-N900W8) and I know there has been 2 updates released (MJ1 and MJ4) but I havent been able to update over the air because my phone is rooted and flagged and my knox trigger is flagged as well.

Using Wanam xposed I have my status set to official and I can download the new update but the installation will fail.

Anyway so I connected my phone to KIES and it says I can update, however before I update it says if my phone is rooted its possible I can brick my phone.

So my questions are, 2 install these updates (MJ1 and MJ4), will it brick my phone? If it doesnt will I lose my root? Can I reroot on these latest firmwares and lastly is there reasons why maybe I should stay at my current firmware?

Sorry if this has been asked before. Ive tried searching and I didnt have much luck

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Short answer is NO.

I updated mine via KIES to MJ7 (I'm on the N9005) - while rooted. KIES says you "may" encounter problems but mine was fine and I re-rooted with ease (already tripped KNOX so no worry there for me) _- as for your firmware on the N900W8 - not sure if you can root with the latest firmware or not personally
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liskrig:
Hello all!

I was wondering if anyone has been experiencing signal loss (but not 100% cut-out) when the phone is asleep? Like if I have my phone on my desk, leave it alone for 20 minutes, I am greeted with no signal. I have never dropped a call (aside from the usual places) but it is just odd.

I have attached a screenshot taken just seconds after waking my phone. Notice the bars are greyed out (white shows a signal), but it is not the outline which would indicate that I am not connected to a tower, meaning no service.

I am on AT&T and all I have done is switch the SIM from my AT&T-Branded HTC One, to the Nexus 5. I have LTE and H+ but I'm not sure if there are any modifications I needed to make to the APN, or if I should just get a new SIM card from AT&T?

Forgive the n00b question, I am very new to GSM-based devices. I did not find any relevant posts about this issue.

Thanks in advance :)

Am currently running Phoenix rom 15.7 and for some strange reason the xda app keeps uninstalling itself. I thought the app clean master might be responsible but no other app gets uninstalled. Any ideas anyone? Its not exactly a life or death problem but just curious as to what is doing it!

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akp.ajinkya:
Have you sideloaded it??I mean have you downloaded it from another source and installed it thereafter.

If yes,go to settings,general,security and untick verify apps.

Also note that downloading a paid app without paying is considered a warez and is strictly against the policy of xda.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fach1708:
Why would I pirate a free app? No its from play store. I am also aware of xda's stance regarding warez.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pezmet:
Uninstall the previous installed app. Before uninstalling delete all data from the app. Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akp.ajinkya:
Bro,I am not accusing you or anything.I just brought it up because there are two types of XDA apps available,one is free and one is premium/paid one.

All in all as you have downloaded it from play store then I think its a strange issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyc:
I'm on KitKat for VZW Moto X, and there is something that I've always wanted to know on the latest Android operating systems:

When I use Google Now to conduct a search, it will show me a search results page. I can choose a link, click it, and then go to whatever website is linked to that particular result. Let's now say that I jump into my email and stay there for a while. Other than opening up my recent app tray, is there any way to return to the website I was just visiting based on my Google Now search? Intuitively, I would think I could click my default browser, but it's not there. Then I thought I could click the blue Google icon in my app tray, but it's not there either. Going back into Google Now doesn't even guarantee that I'll see the search in my history. Any ideas?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzy2fives:
Hi,

Firstly ought to say thanks to verygreen et al. for the awesome cyanogen mod, have 10.1.3 up and running on a nook hd+ mand it's great.

I'm trying to get: h-t-t-p-s://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygotablet&hl=en_GB to work on the nook hd+ with cyanogenmod, they have some pretty extreme protection measures against rooted devices. I've read just about the whole 292 pages of the thread on Sky Go (The mobile version) to work out how I might go about getting it to work.

I've tried manually moving su, and OTA rootkeeper, and changing ro.tags to "release-keys" in build.prop, I'm just taking a backup now to try changing ro.secure to 1 in default.prop in initrd.gz. (I couldn't figure out another way to get hold of the boot image, am I missing something obvious?).

Basically wanted to know if I'm fighting a losing battle here - or if there some way to actually unroot cyanogenmod that I'm not aware of. Don't really want to have to go back to stock to get this working, but the tablet is for the Mrs and I think she'd really like Sky Go.....

I know in the previous version people had some success running with a stock kernel - does anyone know if it's possible to replace the Cyanogenmod kernel with the stock nook one?

Cheers

No, he promised a release on Facebook for Ace/Gio last weekend but still nothing! (what a suprise)

I think it was the "joke of the day" and he will not release anything more for us.

Sad but true.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] PhonePhan:
Hello devs,

I've learned a lot in this community. I've rooted before with my first android phone the Skyrocket, but this phone has made me far more aware of the android world with things such as what a kernel is, Gapps, mods, efs back ups, etc. Took me a while to realize im in a position in which I simply am not in a place in life to be a flashaholic becuase im very dependent of my phone being a college student, but it's such a tease not to be when your device has a group of new ROMs every 2 weeks with nightlies being made daily. Anywho long story short, I've upgraded to the Note family as my daily driver.

Besides selling the phone like I always do when i upgrade, I've decided I'll keep my Lg as I'm kind of attatched to it and I can greatly help this community by becomming a "flash dummy" if you will. This model is the At&t varient. I can help in cases involving:

1.Devs who don't have this phone, but builds ROMs for it

2.Devs who don't want to test builds themselves for various reasons

3.Test nightlies for quality before releasing to forums/published sites

4.Need file extractions of any kind (radios, stock drivers, efs etc)
​

Basically I'm free to flash my heart out with this phone now that i have it around as a backup. So devs if you need feedback with logs or a testing phone, I have one.

I'll Update OP with feedback for specific ROMs as I test them. Users may also feel free to use this thread as refrence for ROM features and issues that apply to certain ROMs so you'll know to expect before flashing.

Disclaimer: This is not a "Im leaving" post either. Complete opposite actually. I'll still be flashing and reporting issues.

Hi ! Is it normal that the display to consume so much energy ?

I still have this amount of battery cuz i haven't use it,but yestarday with open 3g and whatsapp i got only 8-9 hours of use. Is it normal ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Normal is as normal does, it all depends on what your doing. If your not using cpu intensive tasks then yes I would expect the screen to consume the lions share of the battery.

If you use your phone as you say here then as ghostofcain says, yes your screen usage will be the highest, if you don't use your phone much then Android OS should be the highest.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmvik:
I cant figure out how to do the following. When I am connected to any WiFi, I'd like my mobile connection switch from LTE to 3G or 2G. And back to LTE when I disconnect from WiFi.

I have stock N5, rooted and Secure Settings Pro. It seems that 2G/3G Toggle is red and disabled in Tasker because of ROM? So I was thinking I should be able to make it happen through Secure Settings. May be I am wrong.

I have a feeling such Tasker/Secure Settings function can be useful to a bunch of people to save battery and get better voice reception when inside buildings. Could someone help?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgeissler:
Why would you need any mobile data connection when you are connected to wifi?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmvik:
to get MMS ..............
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
This would serve no purpose. LTE is not "on" if you're connected to a wifi network. Voice over LTE doesn't take calls if the signal isn't good enough to sustain it, and even then only kicks in when you've actually received a call. The minimal amount of time you actually would use LTE (MMS, VoLTE calls) would have such a minimal impact that I doubt you could even measure it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmvik:
cool, if thats so. However, when I switch to 2G or 3G I get more bars. And better voice reception. How would you fit this in?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pipester:
I am also interested in this. I have been searching high and low on the Google machine for something to do the same. At my house I get 1, maybe 2 bars of LTE, but when I switch to 3G mode, I get full service. Therefore, it would be very useful to toggle LTE to 3G when connected to WIFI.

When I leave my house and the WIFI disconnects it would also be great to switch back to LTE.

There is a noticeable battery impact when on LTE with low service.

Any additional insight would be great; thanks!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfreemanoh:
Yeah, I also get a noticeable battery drain from low lte signals when on wi-fi. A working Tasker profile for turning off lte when on wi-fi would be awesome. I just thought of it myself, so I guess I'll try getting one setup myself.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Languor:
has anyone figured howto do this??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
When on WiFi LTE is already turned off. Its your poor cell signal that's killing you. Nothing you can really do about that. Except maybe witch to 3G or 2G, as that can give you a better signal if you are having to connect to a different tower that is farthe raway just for LTE.

OK Guys give me a couple of hours and I will have a tasker profile for you guys. One catch though. Tasker does not support auto switching to 2G/3G on newer versions of Android for some reason. Likely permission issues in the code So I will need to find a workaround. Shouldn't be hard. I already have a few ideas. Now my workaround would requie you to be on a CM/AOKP based ROM. IF you are on Stock let me know and I wil ltry to create a workaroud specifically for Stock (Likely a manually written script). I am in IT and I take helpdesk calls so I will try to work on this in between calls. Give me a coupel hours :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
OK guys. I set up and alternative to Tasker for you guys. Tasker seems to lack the feature which is sad.

Download Llama. Its a free alternative to tasked and the learning curve isn't as steep.

Download my created profiles and import them. YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT WITH YOUR OWN NETWORK SSID (must connect to it)

3G only When on WiFi: http://goo.gl/tW4ySB

Not sure. I'll try to troubleshoot this over the next day or so and see if I can replicate it.

#StayParanoid
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Languor:
Sounds good. I think some it because like when I'm home, it will say work, home as it picks up the same towers pretty much as it is only a five minute drive between work and home. So unless there is a different approach to this or if it still needs learning?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
Since you use the same tower for both work and home I think maybe you would have to train it via GPS?

#StayParanoid

how would i train it via the gps? thanks!

also, when I test the actions to enable 4g and 3g that you made, it says, "Llama-ERROR: Failed to toggle WiMax"

mean time while i try to search for this, i have deleted one of the cells my work and home had in common, fingers crossed it made work now. any suggestions/ guidance if you get the time would be greatly appreciated too! thanks ever sooo much!

I guess by now everybody knows that there is a Skype version for PPC that run processors clocked below 300MHz. Even though the Universal runs on 520MHz, I was wondering if the Skype Light Version for (300MHZ) and less would work on the Jasjar?

hi i have a note 2 sgh-I317m and im currently on CleanRom 5.0

ive been looking at the new Ditto rom for note 2 and i want to switch, but is there a certain process i have to go through to switch? or can i just upgrade on top of cleanrom atm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
You should follow the op's (developer) instructions..Some of these 4.3 roms want you to flash a file for the 4.3 bootloader...I'd read the instructions very carefully and read as many post as you can because more then usual you'll face the same issues they had...

good luck

awesome k thanks alot! im using TWRP also so would it work for 4.3 or do i need to flash something else onto it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
If your on 4.1.2 you will need to either flash the att I317 leak if your on att it's on post 226 in the general forum att 4.3 leak or flash a 4.3 bootloader as per the ops instruction in the rom you want. Both use Odin. If you pick the first option it will wipe your device and make you fully stock. So it will require you to root again and flash twrp. The up side it's the most stable way. The second uses Odin to flash. Some have reported problems. Read through the first few pages of the rom to see the issues.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhillyTorr:
wow ok thanks! ya im on 4.1.2 right now so i have to do that, but im with rogers, when i flashed CleanROM it said att and rogers are similar so i guess that will apply here too but ill read up on it to make sure!

OTA will only work with a stock 3e recovery...

But taking a factory update over the top of a rooted rom is not a good idea...

Backups are done with a custom recovery...and yes...you need to start reading and learning the proper steps or you will end up making a paper weight..... g

No just flash 4.3 over top of the rom your using now no need to do all that. Just make sure to read flashing instructions carefully though as others have stated
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] areebhussain:
Hello,

This is my first time posting here, and I would like to request anyone on here to please assist me with the problem I am currently facing. I bought an unlocked, rooted HTC One with stock Android 4.3 installed as it's sole, primary OS this past summer. The person I bought it from is the one who actually rooted the phone, as my knowledge of such processes is fairly limited. I understand there are plenty of complications that I may run into dealing with this problem on my own and technical references may be lost on me, but I'm fairly competent enough to follow instructions from someone who may be able to help.

Here's the problem: I received an Android 4.4 OS update yesterday, which downloaded automatically and asked me if I wanted to install it. I thought the process would be fairly simple and I would not encounter any problems. However, when I asked the update to register and install, first it went into boot (I'm not certain which software was used for root), then the process started and everything seemed to be going fine until 'Patching files onto the whatever' came up and then it appeared that I encountered an error and the phone automatically went into what I can only assume is the bootloader menu? There were big Stock Android looking buttons on it which said things like Install, Root, Settings and a few others I don't recall. I tried to hit Install to see what happened and it brought me back to the part where 4.4 was supposed to be installed and I could read the error message at the end of it which said something like 'Error in patching files to zip folder or something', and I went back to the supposed bootloader menu. Confused and afraid, I think I pressed a button which I felt would allow me to reboot my phone and bring me back to my original 4.3 OS and that I would still be able to use my phone. First it said something like 'You no longer have root permissions', and there was an option where I could slide to apparently 'fix this', but I selected the 'don't fix' option as I obviously had no idea what I was doing. After this, the phone attempted to reboot, and a turquoise blue screen with strange markings came up on it and my phone hung. I killed the phone with the master power button and held it to switch off the phone.

BUT now, even since that has happened, my phone appears to be dead. It isn't starting up. When I put it on charge, the red LED doesn't show up. I have tried to used several ways to turn on my phone but it just wouldn't work.

I would like some light to be shed on this particular problem, and if anyone has experienced something similar to this, PLEASE, help me in fixing this. I am an eager learner and despite my limited, close to non-existent knowledge about dealing with a phone's OS, I know I can learn fast and follow instructions cleanly.

Please help me. Thank you.
