I'm having some problems with my n9006 and I'm hoping some kind soul might be able to help me?

I lost service yesterday afternoon and I can't get it back. I had a warning that the storage was getting full and that some processes may not work correctly. I deleted some apps and some text messages and went to sleep as I was on nights last nights and needed an hour in bed. When I woke up I had no service on my phone.

My phone is saying "emergency calls only - giffgaff" so it knows what provider I'm on. Anyway, I did a factory reset and still no service, then today I have rooted it and installed a custom rom and still nothing?

I have tried my sim in another phone and it is working OK.

Can anyone help me out please?
[Android General] idbl_fanatic:
Maybe a provider issue in your area?
[Android General] robcab1:
I've stuck my sim in another phone and it works fine.
[Android General] filip_pine:
this happen with my N9006 sometimes, i take out the SIM and place it back and then i got Service...

PS : I´m updating my other Clone, SM-N900 via Wifi, as Software Update prompt me there is a new Version...
[Android General] robcab1:

[Android General] Shaun27:

[Android General] idbl_fanatic:
As I suspected, I sent ibaby888 pics of what was happening, and she says that she can't see a problem...........

Let's see if you guys see a problem
[Android General] robcab1:
I've fixed mine using the MTK Engineering tool. I changed the IMEI to the one on my old HTC Desire HD.

hello sorry for my English but I'm Spanish ...

I buy a hdc to ibaby888 gt-n900, and I am very disappointed and upset: (

my mobile from the first day I suffered constant restarts and shutdowns.

I tried the upgrade of ibaby888 of needrom, also try the rom filip_pine and finally, roms for hdc and no1.n3 max.

but the problem continue ...

I send an email to ibaby888 in dhgate and sent me the factory rom but fails in 65% in the flash tool ...

I put a dispute dhgate but I know I lost my money ...

can someone give me some possible solution to the problem of my phone?
[Android General] idbl_fanatic:
I have already tried those........... :(
[Android General] filip_pine:
hello david, can u please tell us what problems you have with your N9006 ?

dime que es lo que le pasa al telefono, mas exacto majete...

Thank you

did u try to recalibrating the screen ? try the built in app, and if it dosen´t work, try to calibrate with some apps from PlayStore...

PS : what happend with your friend phone from ibaby ? did he finally receive it ?
[Android General] david_mor3no:
gracias a dios hablas español!:laugh: pues lo que me pasa es como a varios comprandores que han comentado en dhgate sobre el movil que vende ibaby888, se me reinicia o se me apaga muchas veces al día, sobre todo cuando no lo estoy utilizando... según en el chat que estuve hablando con ibaby888 el sistema se vuelve inestable con el root y por eso se reinicia o apaga.

Pénse al principio que eran por las baterías así que le compre una original pero el problema persistía, despues pensé que era por la rom pero es que en todas me pasa lo mismo, quizás pruebe una rom que este sin root por si mejora algo...

dame algún consejo que se que entiendes sobre estos moviles!!
[Android General] idbl_fanatic:
Yes, this is the phone that I am working with, and having issues with. After 3 weeks, he finally got it.

I have changed many roms but not resolved

I've done wipes

please help
[Android General] filip_pine:
seems a problem from the battery, not from the phone... did u try to change the battery ?
[Android General] cesarbash:
buy a battery on ebay I get in a pair of days I hope that's the problem
[Android General] pficrx:
You have the stock battery ?
[Android General] filip_pine:
pficrx, seems that these clones are shipped with different batteries, apparently, the ones from ibaby comes with a very tiny battery, my other unit SM-N900 has been shipped with a real OEM battery with NFC tag and is much more bigger than the batteries that i received from ibaby...

also, ibaby battery last like 6 hours, while my other clone battery last almost 2 days ...

Is strange isn´t ?
[Android General] pficrx:
Yeap i know that... The clone batteries is thinner than the original... If you buy the original battery , then you must also buy the original or similar back case note 3 to fix the battery...
[Android General] filip_pine:
well pfi, here i have to argue with you :), , i have my SM-N900 that has been shipped with original OEM Samsung batery, now i have also the N9006 from ibaby which has been shipped with the tiny battery... i bought also an OEM Samsung battery and place it into phone, and the original back cover it fit, i didn´t have to buy original Note 3 Cover also..

it is 1:1 Clone, original accesories fit into our clones buddy :P
[Android General] cesarbash:
reply

yes I use the stock battery

I bought MPJ 4500mAh for note 3

I hope the arrival of this battery

[Android General] xicopowa:
In your opinion what would be the best device to order? link me please. I kind of really trust your choices as you seem experienced with chinese phones. Thanks!
[Android General] s7yler:
Thank you for your trust. But the problem is that I also havent tried all the clones, so I also just relate on what I see/read on the net.

It looks like that this version here of the N9006 have the 1:1 look, it has alle the features of the MAX version, and it also have the IR remote control http://tinyurl.com/note3n9006s The only reason for that I, and Colonel Zap didnt buy this version, is that it wasn't out yet when we ordered. (And I wanted a black clone, and that version is only out in white it seems)

They claim it has real 2GB RAM, even if that is not true, I still would take this one instead. It has something they call "S-pen Function", I guess the stylus then works better. The S Pen show the little dot on screen when hovered above as on original like this http://gyazo.com/6acffcdeb0c0969b9780f0721303de03 and the pen itself looks more real. The MAX version doesnt have this feature and the pen has another tip that doesnt look like on the original.

But yes it is a hard choice, you can not avoid to gamble a bit with these clones.
[Android General] xicopowa:
It only comes in white! GOD DAMMIT
[Android General] s7yler:
But Colonel Zaps MAX is also white? :confused: and you wrote you wanted to buy his maybe?
[Android General] xicopowa:
The one he has is the same as yours.. I dunno i dont really mind the white tho
[Android General] s7yler:
Yes same model, but his is white, mine is black. It is a matter of taste what you like.
[Android General] xicopowa:
The one with the allegedly 2gb of ram comes only in white :/ maybe i get a flip case for it on amazon or something in black

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Whoa... i just noticed the model you showed me comes around 210 euros with shipping included shiiiet!
[Android General] s7yler:
ye that version is a bit more expensiv, maybe you then just should go for the 1GB version if that is too much :) where are you from??
[Android General] xicopowa:
Portugal my friend! The country where prices are made like this:

for example:

OK SO A NEXUS 5 COSTS 350$ in the US

Therefore 350+100 = 450

450 + 23% = 553,50 eur

Prices in my country are a joke.

60 eur a Month for 2gb of internet..
[Android General] xicopowa:
Does anyone have news about this phone? keep me updated please :) dont let this post die
[Android General] bmg9459:
I have had mine for over a month

I have had mine for about 2 months overall it is a good phone. I have only had one problem out of it and I'm not sure if it was my fault or the phones. I had just downloaded a app and then about 10 min later the phone shut down and would not come back on. It took me about 2 weeks to figure out how to fix it. I had to use Droid tools to force the phone to go into recovery and then did a factory reset and now have not had any further issues. I do have the s pen issue but I am not a big fan of the s pent so its not a big deal to me. The phone works good if you are looking for a android phone without all the extra note 3 bells and whistles. The air gesture works but the eye tracking is sketchy and only works on the stock browser and the UM player that came installed when I got the phone anyways. I figured out how to increase the volume for the head phones and top speaker by going into engineer mode and adjusting the audio settings a program called activity launcher can help you find most of the hidden features. You can also save apps to your external SD card by modifying the volb.fstab file. Now I can use my 32 gig SD card. The one issue though is that is still does not accurately tell me how much memory I have available so I keep track manually.

Overall for $200 I'm satisfied to have a phone that looks and feels like a note 3 for half the cost.

[Android General] xicopowa:
What's your take: this or the moto g? I'm going to order one of those

Im looking for

Great browsing performance ( smooth and fast )

Good battery life

Good display ( 5.0'' is the spot for me )

I like fun features like the S-Pen, air gestures etc..

Mediocre gaming performance ( at least Plants vs Zombies 2 )

Great design
[Android General] s7yler:
Could you please tell me step-by-step how to increase the volume for the top speaker?
[Android General] -fluffy-:
Use mobileuncle
[Android General] s7yler:
Okay I tried this http://www.zopomobileshop.com/zopo-...le-phone-mic-loudspeaker-and-ringtone-volume/

and it seems to work. It is now louder. But I dont understand why they set the 160 on Level 0? (should it not be on Level 6? - the higeste level, when the volume rocker is set to the highest?)

EDIT: nevermind, guess I am right. Setting Level 0 also to 160 just makes the sound loud all the time, not then possible to turn it down.
[Android General] -fluffy-:
Havnt u seen ur pm
[Android General] TiTAN-O-One:
If you have root right now, get V4A, its actually a sound enhancer (much like BeatsAudio) before my phone went mad, i had this for abt a year and yes, ye'can increase the volume of your speakers, also, other than the speakers, you can also make ur earphones sound ALOT better :)
[Android General] s7yler:
Plants vs. Zombies 2

Thanks TiTAN, unfortunately I am not rooted, because I do not want to risk losing the Samsung boot intro or some of the built-in apps. Heard of others who has lost some of that when they rooted their device.

FYI & for people who are interested in more detailed info about the Max N9006. I have just recorded a new video with some info, tests, tips for the HDC Galaxy Note 3 Max N9006.

Can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hek2lDZep5o

I also test OTG with a wireless mouse in Plants vs. Zombies 2. The phones sound volume etc.

finally which model to go for....:laugh:

thanks will b waiting for reply....:good::good:
[Android General] s7yler:
I don't understand that you ask these things if you have seen all YT videos and have been following this, because all your questions have already been answered several times in this thread or in the Youtube videos.

Check all the infos in my videos (I have 5 videos about the HDC Note 3 Max) about the phone on http://www.youtube.com/s7yler

You for example ask "is the stylus full working or just for show"

If you have seen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayeIzd0w4WI then the answer to that should be pretty clear?

I think it is this version that I currently have on my phone - http://www.needrom.com/mobile/alps-note3-n9006-mt6582/

Could you maybe share the camera app with us? What ROM are you using? is your phone the MAX or just normal N9006 single sim?

Does Snap Camera give better pictures/video? than the default camera app?
[Android General] spanner44:
I have the HDC mote 3 clone with the 6582 processor, single sim bought from fastcardtech (http://www.fastcardtech.com/HDC-Galaxy-Note-3-N9006.html). The android version says 4.4 but it is not, it is only jellybean.

The only file I can find in my system/app relating to camera is the attached file. The only other possible one is the gallery app. Not sure if they are the right ones, if not or if they go under another name then let me know.
[Android General] filip_pine:
yes it does s7yler, you can record better video and pictures, you can set the resolution, video codes, default viewing, Zooming options, and is all in HDR , better tint colors than the default Camera App

Hi. has anybody seen this lockscreen? any idea why this appears or why its cut in half?
[Android General] vndnguyen:
This is S View screen on the Note 3.

Don't think this is also available on the clone one.
[Android General] junooni:
well i've started getting this randomly on my clone. My lockscreen is set at pattern but i get this lockscreen randomly, sometime as much as every 2 seconds.

since there's nothing on the bottom half, i can't unlock the device when this happens, and the only way is to restart the phone, but you can imagine its useless when it repeats immediately.

i have found a way out, to wave a small magnet over the 'menu' button, that takes me to the pattern lockscreen.

any idea why is this happening and how to fix it? is the magnetic sensor gone mad? i've tried resetting the device but no use so maybe its hardware?
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Yeah but it is available, at least on my version.
[Android General] s7yler:
So you used this camera when you did the samples you uploaded on Youtube also?

Maybe you could do a video comparison between the 2 camera apps.

EDIT: ok I am testing it now, seems to be a bit better.

I just bought this HDC Galaxys Note 3 N900- Snapdragon MSM8974AB Quad Core 2.3GHz 2GB 5.7inch HD IPS Android 4.3 Phone from fastdardtech . Any one as any information or experience with this one? Are there any costum roms or mods for this?

Video Format : MPEG

Bitrate : 30 FPS

Video Preview Size : 1280x720p

The rest i let it default.

did you already receive the phone ? if you do, can you please upload a review on youtube and show you the phone, i wanna know if is any major differences between this and N9006, except RAM, processor and Internal Storage.

PS : I just receive my Brushed Aluminium Note 3 Cover, it feel´s awesome and is better build quality

[Android General] junooni:
do you also get this randomly? i have no idea why this is happening or how to disable it
[Android General] Jogor:
Hello,

I think have this phone, bought from ibaby888 on DHGate.

He claim it's a FHD IPS screen but it's 720p.

I think the phone is really new, I got it a few weeks ago and couldn't find any info at all of it but now the phone pops up "everywhere" so I'm happy to see that.

No custom roms are out, I have uploaded the stock rom that was on my device to Needrom (search for SM-N900 MTK6592) and can you please do the same so I can try if it's really exactly the same phone and rom?

Some questions/issues I have with the phone:

I only have 100-200MB free RAM out of those 2GB, I really doubt it's really 2 GB RAM, it's more likely only 1 GB.

I can't get the GPS to work good, tried all guides but it's really hard to get a fix and if I get it, it doesn't last for long

Battery is pretty bad, when it's 45% left it drops down to zero in a few minutes, I will buy a real Samsung battery some day to try.

ibaby888 claim it's FHD but it's not (I wouldn't buy it from him if I knew it was 720p, so annoying)

Other than that I think the phone works great, even if the phone seems to be low on ram I never get any slowdowns or anything and the quality of the phone feels great.

All cases (3 diffrent) for real Note 3 works and s-view works.

Speed in games is great, no lag or slowdown in games like Dead Trigger 2 or MC4

Never really used the pen, other than to test it and it seems to work like it should too.

I'm using it as my only phone and I would be really happy with it if it wasn't for the issue that ibaby888 lied in his description.
[Android General] mrgold2505:
Are you from UK? Mine I assume is 720p. Why you don't try root it and clean all the junk to free up more space? Is the gps realy so bad?? If mine is I will return it. For me is a must the GPS. Try to load a fix for your gps. Normaly they are calibrated for the Asian area. They need the Europe fix. I just confirm with the technical support that's my model is 720p
[Android General] Jogor:
Im from Sweden.

The device is rooted and there arn't that much junk. I think its only 1 GB ram.

I have tried everything with my GPS.

Faster GPS app, downloaded epo, deleted mtkgps file, hot, warm and restart agps, everything.

And I never get a useful GPS signal, its no big deal for me tho, so hopefully its just my unit.
[Android General] s7yler:
Nice, and thanks for the settings
[Android General] mrgold2505:
Any problem with taxs when it arrived?
[Android General] Jogor:
No, it this time..
[Android General] junooni:
got a couple of questions:

1. what Android version is installed on SM-9006? It says 4.4 but looks like fake cause some apps that require 4.4 don't install.

2. any way to disable 'transparent taskbar' and make it normal?
[Android General] s7yler:
I think it must be 4.2 - not all 9006 models say 4.4.

The taskbar can be tweaked (also the transparency etc.) in many ways with Xposed Framwork and Gravitybox for JB.
[Android General] mrgold2505:
Mine just arrived to international hub . waiting for costums clear.Lets see what happens next??
