Issues with HDC Galaxy Note 3 Mx sm n9006

Okay so I got my on Friday from FCT. I installed my MicroSD card, and my sim. Then placed battery in closed up the cover and turned it on. It loaded up with Android 4.3 in English. I began to use it to navigate around set up GMail etc. Tried out the S Pen. First issue, all the applications in air command but sarch was available to be used. Everytime I tried the magnifying glass icon I got the warning message " com.android.subsiduairy" The main search engine for the phone is Baidu or Badu even though I set up for Google to be home search engine. A large majority of the Apps on the Application area were in Chinese. So after playing with all the features on the phone I saw that battery was low. I turned it off and set it down pluged it in to be charged. Turned it back on 4 hours later and

everything is in Chinese

. I mean everything ! I am searching out any help to get it back to English Android 4.3. Going to Settings>Languages gets me nowhere as it only gives 4 Asian Language options ( all in Chinese Language symbols). I am kinda lost as to what to do at this point. Other than trading in my Samsung S3 and using that money to buy an orignal Note 3 . Any help or direction would be hugely appreciated ? I would ultimately like just to get back to using it as Android 4.3 English.

It looks like that you actually got a newer firmware on yours. Because I am only having 4.2.1. But the 4.3 may also just be fake.

I don't know if it works, but can you get into the Playstore somehow? can you get on WiFi? and can you use the keyboard?

There are apps that can force to change language but I dont know if it would work, but you could give it a try, if you somehow can get the app here to try to change language on the phone http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bruce.setlocale

Update: Found it as raw APK file here: http://www.appsapk.com/set-locale-and-language/

tro to download from the page, then put it on the phone via USB or a sd card, and run the APK and install on phone and see if you can do anything with it.

I spflash HDC Galaxy Note 3 MAX rom and now I cannot get mobile connection, wifi and everything else works though. Please help? I am using Tmobile and this phone supports the radio bands for it. have tested the sim card on my blackberry device and nexus 4 and they both work.

EDIT:

I just checked my IMEI number and it is blacklisted, does that have to anything with me not getting mobile(GSM) connection? And if so, how do I make it work?
[Android General] xclream:
Thanks buddy. I assume I will have to be ROOTED to implement what you have suggested? I will definitely give this a try, the systemUI error has been annoying me so much to a point I am almost giving up on this phone. S7yler gave me a different ROM to try, but I haven't tried it yet, that is my last resort.

PS - I did find a "solution" to this systemUI issue, if anyone else is experiencing it. When the error pops up, all you have to do is open the last app that you used. For instance, if you used Whatsapp or Youtube, hit "home" button to return to the default screen, "SystemUI has stopped" error message pops up, all you have to do is immediately re-open Whatsapp or Youtube (or which ever app you just used), then the message will disappear it will return to normal again. Hope this tip helps. I know it isn't a permanent fix to this issue, but at least it saves the trouble of rebooting every 7, 8 hours, which is VERY ANNOYING. :cyclops:

Is anyone having 3G signal hang issue with this phone?

My issue occurs when I am inside a building where the signal is weak or underground parking lot, then when I come out, signal seems to have trouble reconnecting. I have tried switching to WCDMA only, Auto Mode, WCDMA/GSM (WCDMA Preferred), no luck.

So my temp. solution is download an app called: "3G Reconnect" from Google Play Store. What it does is, monitors when the 3G signal is lost, and system can't reconnect, it automatically switches to Airplane Mode and back. Enables the 3G signal to reconnect. It works 80% of the time, HOWEVER, there are a few occasions where the I notice the signal is stuck at 1 bar, and when I try to call myself it appears the phone is off. Not even the "3G Reconnect" app can wake the phone up to reconnect. When this happens, I have to completely reboot.

Anyone having this issue?

How to do calibration? I cant find the function on setting
[Android General] s7yler:
Go to the playstore and download the app called "Battery Calibration" http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration and follow the instructions the app gives you when you start it. Requires root access.

Can this phone be activated with a Verizon 3G data plan?

Someone PLEASE help me! I have had this phone for a bit over a month now and I love it. Of course my main purpose was to replace my old phone and activate this one on my service plan. But since I've put in a Verizon 4G LTE (micro) SIM card, I've had no such luck with getting it to work. What do I need to do? I know there is a way to unlock it to Verizon's network.

It was pre rooted when I unboxed it and I have not downloaded any custom ROMs or anything to it yet, if that helps.

Thanks in advance for your help!

:)
[Android General] s7yler:
Maybe T-Mobile blacklisted the phone from their network? Maybe if you could try on another network or with another SIM card. You first need to find out if it is T-Mobile/network/SIM or really the phone.

But when I check my IMEI in my phone it is also listed as blacklisted, but it still works and I get signal. But maybe it depends on what carrier or what country your in?

http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx

Says "Unless the status changes, this device will not work on our network or on most other networks around the world."

But funny my phone works just fine on the network here (I am in Germany).

Did you get your phone up running again?? Did you try to connect it to the PC?
[Android General] retro2k13:
Yeah the phone started working again
[Android General] s7yler:
Good to hear, I actually also suddenly lost my multi-window feature - I don't know why. Somehow it would not display the sidebar.

So I did a factory reset from the phone (I think it is safer to do it from the phone itself than with CWM, because CWM is maybe not fully compatible with our phone). Then it reset, and came again into some kind of bootloop, but after 3-4 cycles, I then connected it to the PC, and it rebooted suddenly fine. And I was then factory reset, and I had the multi-window feature back again. But all the MODs were still intact, so have now just reinstalled all my apps, and it works again and with multi-window.

Also I did a nandroid backup with CWM 6 (the newest CWM - the normal backup, not the backup to external sd) and it made a fine backup with all needed files, so that works good with CWM 6.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

A bit offtopic, but do you use the multiwindow? I mean is it activated on your phone? Maybe try to deactive it completely, maybe the SystemUI goes away? if there is any connection between these two things.

Can I install ROM update using the cwm?
[Android General] nohbitha:
Anyone had an idea? I also got upside down CwM on my device and can not go into cwm recovery with button combination, only way to do this is through 3rd party app like quickboot or mubile uncle, any way to fix this? Thanks
[Android General] s7yler:
I think you have to ask in another thread for your device, this thread is only for N9006 with MTK6589. We all only have the MTK6589 version so I guess most don't know how the MTK6582 works or what it takes to make it work on yours.
[Android General] nohbitha:
Oow, ok thanks man, but i havent found yet for N9006 mtk6582. So i end up here. :good:
[Android General] MrToffu:
Is there a way to fix the unresponsiveness of the touchscreen? Also my stylus is inaccurate.
[Android General] s7yler:
Did you recalibrate the touchscreen with the "TP Recalibrate" app in your app drawer? Also try different settings in Controls>Touch panel sensitivity setting
[Android General] MrToffu:
I installed a new ROM that doesn't contain any calibration tool, how do I obtain one?
[Android General] retro2k13:
Why doesn't cwm allow me to install ROM
[Android General] s7yler:
If you don't mind what are just the last 4 digits in your IMEI? I am wondering if some of the clones are using the same IMEI maybe.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Is you phone still without any problems regarding the SystemUI? Does your multiwindow still also work?

I think if you disable the builtin lockscreen, set it to none in settings, then the statusbar will get transparent? I have this because I used Galaxy Locker instead, and then automatically have the statusbar transparent when I activate Transparent statusline in Galaxy Lockes settings.

When you charge, do you then use the original charger? I have tried to charge mine with another charger (faster). What I found out is that the phone suddenly was charged much much faster, from 0 to 50% very fast. What I then later also found out is that it would discharge as fast again - lol. Somehow the original charger charges very slow, but at least it charge the battery fully, so it also will last longer. This is at least the case on my phone.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Maybe you just could restart systemUI when you get the error? You can download "Android Tuner Free" from the playstore. Open the app, go to the part called "Task Manager", (show excluded and system) and you can find the process called "System UI". When you click on it you can "kill" it and it seems to be restarted by itself. There is also a slider saying low to high, maybe if you set it to high it will run more stable?

I havent had the chance to test it myself yet, as I don't have had the systemui crash for a while now. (I have seen it, but random 1 time for some weeks ago). In Android Tuner I also saw that under SystemUI in the tab called "Services", there are listet some things like screenshot, Imagewallpaper etc. like these things have influence on System UI also, maybe when the screenshot function is used or wallpaper is changed then the crash appears? that is just a theory.

The ROM you try to flash has to be in zip AND compatible with CWM. For example if the ROM was made for Spflash tool, you can't just flash that with CWM.
[Android General] spanner44:
I am also getting the MTK6582 version in a day or so, so if you start a thread up, I would be interested.

Not sure what the differences are, besides the processor of the two phones, so it would be handy having our own thread.
[Android General] filip_pine:
guys, help me, i think i brick my SM N900 Clone...

i was running the V2 ROM for 1:1 Real Clone SM N900 from needrom... and i also have the zip file on my external sdcard, i want it to give it a try and install the ROM from my external SD card, soo with CWM i choose Flash Zip from SD Card - N900 V2

Before this, i wipe data cache, wipe dalvik and restore factory seetings from CWM

After i press the button flash ROM, the phone won´t turn on now, it´s stuck at Android logo and at every 10 Seconds vibrate, like it want to start but it can´t...

i try to flash again the same ROM like i did it first time, with SP Flash Tool, but when i hit Download Button nothing happens, the progres bar not loading...

[Android General] MrToffu:
Last 4 digits of IMEI is 4490. Is there any apk files you can link me to for screen calibration? Or do I have to get it through flashing roms?
[Android General] djcadry:
I have just received a Galaxy note 3 clone Chinese model from an online store. It has an imei but it shows invalid when checked online. The reason for checking is although it recognises my sim' it shows emergency calls only - my carrier name.

And when I try to dial any number it says mobile network not available. So I m assuming its because of the invalid imei.

I tried everything found online but couldn't change the imei successfully. My phone is rooted. I tried mtk engineering, uncle app to change using at+emgr config but it reboots and reverts back to original imei.

If someone can guide me a solution for this it will be really appreciated. I m literary frustrated..

I trust someone here can surely help me with a solution.
[Android General] nohbitha:
Yeah, havent found it yet for this type. I Tried almost all roms and all almost the same, nothing big, no update yet and no developt yet for custom i think
[Android General] djcadry:
Dude have you managed to fix the issue? I do have similar issues.

Mobile network not available. Though it detects my carrier I cant make calls or text. The IMEI is fake and invalid. I have full doubt its because of the IMEI. I trued couple of ways to change the IMEI but to no vain. Appreciate your help buddy.

I have managed to install the official Samsung app store on my HDC clone, so now I have the official "Samsung Apps" and it is the latest version (14022004.20.051.0). Downloading & installing apps from the Samsung store also works fine without problems. Will post video this weekend plus provide needed files & howto install. This device gets closer & closer to the real thing :laugh:

Stock ROM?

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/hdc-galaxy-note-3-max-n9006/
[Android General] s7yler:
Yes that is my stock ROM, but I am now instead using this one http://www.needrom.com/mobile/hdc-galaxy-note-3-max/ because it has the real multiwindow (and my stock ROM didnt have this included, I guess my phone was too new when I got it, at that time the newer ROM was not out yet). But in the ROM I am using now, i modified the build.prop also myself, so KIES Air and other apps again works.

I only replaced brand and model name with "samsung" and "SM-N9006", and that was enough to that KIES Air again would install fine on the device.

Here my build.prop (the one I am using now, and KIES Air works with this one)

http://peecee.dk/upload/view/432904

And here the original build.prop (from the ROM, but in this the brand is "MAC" and the model is "A202_mula_64")

http://peecee.dk/upload/view/432905

It is placed in /system/

Please provide with some help.Thanks!!!!

P.s after i rooted and made a backup with mtkdroidtools and removed or freezed some chinese apps now the multi window isn't opening.

Ps2 As i see a lot of things don't function as the missing calls,sms,the drop down menu,the clock,the battery etc.I replaced the 2 files ui files with original but still nothing.After i root the phone i made backup with cwm and another one with mtkdroid.Should i make recovery and haw i do it?

I manged to solve the above problem via restore from wcm. What is not functioning so far is the multi window but this is because yesterday after the rooting i erased some chinese apps.From now on i only freeze them and check out for mistakes.

How can i make the multi window functioning?

Will a flashing new rom help?

My phone is the one with dual sim as in photo(mtk6589 sm-n9002).

What rom does it fit and is there any dummie instuctions on how to flash new rom?

Sorry but i'm rookie as i haven't even a smartphone before yet with s7yler's videos i managed a lot.

After the rom my next step will be the internal storage even though it seems a bit more difficult for me.

Thanks all the foroum and for the s7yler's great and helpful videos.
[Android General] sniperuk12:
Just got the phone, great so far, installed the rom, improves things alot, everything seems to work, including IR, except the rear main camera. There's no option to switch either, to the rear main camera, only the self screen facing camera works. Has anyone who's installed the updated rom mentioned above, on the single sim version had the same issue? When i flash back to the original older rom, the front camera works again.

Also the phone storage keeps getting corrupted for some reason and I have to format it and lose all my apps Ive moved on to it..soo annoying.:confused:
[Android General] genesisalgor:
A some pages before you can find the way to swap Phone Storage with Sdcard to install apps on it, editing the vold.fstab, also in a pages before you can find two files EBR to flash and reallocate the Internal to 5GB and phone storage to 1.33.
[Android General] steviebhoy:
Thank you for helpful & quick reply but would I need to root my phone to do this as I am worried about voiding the warranty?
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Yeah for swap storage you will need root, for flash EBR files no, just SPFlashTool, but i don't recommed this if you don't have made a complete backup of your rom before with MTKDroid Tools.

A really good update guys, i've manage to port the Carliv Touch Recovery/CWM 6.0.4.4 based for our phone. A gorgeous full touch recovery, updated and with good features. I'm testing everything and soon will post a step by step procedure to flash it.
[Android General] z2168235:
Does the EBR files work on any note3 clone ROM? I bought mine from DHgate , not sure from where did you got yours. Even if you bought from shame shop, I'm not sure if it has the same ROM
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Your have IR remote control and support multi window Rom? Also has 8GB of Rom? If no can be different, but have you swapped Sd?
[Android General] spanner44:
Does anyone know how I can check how much memory I have. I have the 6582 version of this phone which is suppose to have 1GB/4GB but I think it only has 1GB/1.5GB

I wanted to change the partition sizes, but if it is the lower amount, then it won't be possible and I will have to swap the internal memory with the SD Card.
[Android General] z2168235:
Yes I have IR remote control, multi window, and 8G rom. I have not swap the SD yet, I have not feel the need yet. Am I suppose to swapped the SD first then flashing EBR file? or flashing EBR then swapped the SD? or either way?
