[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall39:
Hi , same here it crashes when I use it for a couple of minutes :mad:

I've emailed the support , they told me to factory reset the phone , that's what I did , and still the same.

Crash log gives me the same than you :
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Well I'm glad it's not just me, although sorry you have problems too. I'm amazed there are so few with this problem, that or they don't use xda. I was beginning to doubt whether people could be bothered to comment on my bug finds lol

Just wondering about your settings. Could be a crash caused by our specifics.

I use high quality streaming on 3g, internal memory for cache. Cache during playback selected. stream and cache via wifi only are unchecked.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall39:
Well , I use almost the same setting than you do , except "download via wifi" is checked.

I think it could be something with cover arts , do you download the albums that you have uploaded on Google servers?

I 've a couple of albums I've uploaded , and I like to see nice covers , maybe if you tag your MP3 with a cover "too big" , it could make a problem with that "java.langOutOfMemory error?

Really it is only an assumption , I don't know too much about programming and stuff like that...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
I do have a few albums that I uploaded a while back. Some don't show a picture as it can't find any cover art. I'm going to delete all my uploaded stuff and see if that makes a difference. I have most of it on Dropbox or my sd anyway. I'll let you know.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall39:
Actually , I've deleted all my music cached on my phone , and just by browsing my collection online it crashes...

Also , I've found a micro SD card , so I've tried to insert it in the phone , and chose to cache the music on it.Guess what , crash :(

Must be a memory leak or something like that , since when I restar my phone , it works for a couple of minutes before it crashes.

I've sent like hundreds of crach logs to Google , emailed the support , and I see I'm not the only one to have the issue.

If Google doens't push an update of this application , I guess spotify will get my 10 euros/months.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Yeh I've sent loads of logs and tried to email support. I haven't even had a reply back.

It's not good having to pay for such a crap service. I notice they have made it harder to contact them now, took ages to navigate all the useless forms/topics to get to send an email. In the end I emailed them on an address I used over a year ago. Still not heard back. Going to try calling them on the nexus sales line and see if they can give me a contact.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall39:
I tried something , that could be totally wrong but it doesn't cost anything to try :

Go to Setting - Application manager - Running - Google Play Music.

Then you should see 2 services , and one named something like "Art download " or something like that.

I turned that service off , rebooted the phone and played 10 minutes only with the application without crach :eek:

It could be only a coincidence but who knows?

EDIT Don't even try , I just had another crash.....OK Google play good bye for good.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
I'm sure you probably haven't but have you had problems with:

A: The stock alarm clock failing and crashing. Ok since my last factory reset.

B: Google maps crashing randomly

C: Blurry pictures with low-med light and black lines in video recording with wifi enabled.

D: Is your note a new build or one of the first released?

Just wondering if the first batch of note 3s have faults with memory etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall39:
I have none of the problems you describe , everything's ok except that Google Play app.

I've purshased my Note 3 the 10th of October last year , from a big french online store , I'm not sur if the phone is part of the first release or not , how can I check that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Not sure if serial numbers mean anything as the nexus devices do, but what firmware did it come with ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall39:
I'm sorry , I can't remember , there was a firmware update as soon as I unboxed it , and now I'm on stock XXUDMK2.

I'm just amazed this phone has 3 GO of Ram , and I only have 10% left.

I'm pretty sure this is because all that Samsung bloatware that eats all the Ram.

Are you on stock firmware? Maybe Cyanogenmod could do something for us :o?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Problem is Cyanogen = no warranty if I do have hardware issues :/

That and unless I'm wrong the stylus would be useless without touchwiz
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall39:
That is true.

Maybe this new kitkat firmware will solve the issue ?

I'm at work at the moment (well for lunch break) but if you have time and want to flash the new one, could you tell me if Play Music works ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgeier82:
Mine crashes while Im doing extensive searching meaning. I find a song I like, and I go to "similar artists" at the bottom, and go to a new artist. I repeat this many times until the actual app freezes the phone, and force quits eventually.

Lame because I like to play random trivia with my gf so she expands her music horizons :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall39:
Yeah this is what happens to me too, I Think this problem does'nt come our Gnote3, but from this application. If you search on Google we can see this problem is there since à good while, and the updates didn't fix it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Yes you are right that's exactly the process that normally makes mine crash. Looking at similar artists, albums by same artist etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshall39:
I've just flash the new kitkat firmware , unti now everything OK.

But usually it takes some time after a reboot before it crashes , so let's wait a bit....

EDIT OK one crach already , but this time it does not ask me to send a log , just "Google play music has stopped working".

Humm I think I'll stick with Spotify then , after all it is at least as good as Google Play.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibadee:
Just crashed again after deleting all my uploaded tracks. Related artist browsing crashed it in no time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beppomarx:
ok so I have a ATT one x phone that I just RUUed to 2.20. I am successfully unlocked and rooted, twrp is installed and I am ready to flash a custom ROM. right now I am S-on.

Can I accept the OTA to 3.18 without consequence? should I S-off and then update? I would like the new firmware and radio and then just flash a custom jellybean ROM, or I can just do it manually afterward.

I have no problem just applying anew ROM but if I can get the newest radio/firmware first it would just save a few steps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Don't take the OTA, you can't install an OTA on a modified device. Plus, even if it did work it would undo all the work you've done. The best way to update your firmware is via the 3.18 RUU, but you must get s-off first or you'll brick. So get s-off then run the RUU. Don't worry about relocking your bootloader, that isn't required. Once you've run the RUU just flash TWRP again and you'll be good to flash a ROM.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skurys:
So my wife's S3 is SGH-i747M from Telus in Canada. Updated OTA to 4.3 (its unrooted) but turns out she doesn't like it at all and its buggy. I have read through several threads and am unsure how to go about downgrading safely.

I get that the MK5 modem in 4.3 updates EFS to v2, so I downloaded a .zip of MK5 modem to install after downgrading.

I downloaded MF1 firmware from sammobile with the intention of flashing in Odin.

My questions are:

Should I flash MF1 in Odin then flash a custom recovery, then flash back the MK5 modem? Or custom recovery first while on 4.3?

Also the MF1 4.1.2 firmware is 700+meg, I take it these are full firmwares, and I also read stuff about them including everything such as bootloader etc. If this has old bootloader and 4.3 had updated the bootloader would I be risking a brick?

Sorry if this has been explained elsewhere, seen alotta conflicting info and not sure what best way to proceed is. Thx alot!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danchoi704:
I've heard it's impossible to downgrade. ...it's probably possible for those know-How but not to my knowledge.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:

In OP "Updated OTA" scenario, definitely not possible. Brick City
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rambi01:
re: similar question

I am in a similar situation; a friend of mine has a i747M SGS3 from Telus and is having issues with performance and crashes since updating to official 4.3, and wants me to help him deal with it.

I want to be unambiguously sure of this before I take any actions: if we attempt to DOWNGRADE to 4.1.2, will we brick the phone?

If so, do we have other options? For example, can an official 4.3 i747M be safely sidegraded to a stable Cyanogenmod 4.3 equivalent, or to the Cyanogenmod 4.4.2 equivalent?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
Your core question is popular these days. I will say this once for all:

OTA 4.3 (with bootloader)

Downgrade=Brick

It's possible the buggy etc complaints can be remedied by (backup, wipe & reflash via Sammobile, Keis or Odin.

The sideflashing issues are best taken to the appropriate forum thread for your custom rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jimchee:
Once on 4.3 you CANNOT go back
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
These are the statements that cause all the confusion.

Once on the new bootloader (MJB) included with the 4.3 ota you can't downgrade the BOOTLOADER, you can only reflash the same or newer. You can still install any custom ROM that has added the bootloader to the assert but does not contain a bootloader itself, or simply remove the assert lines from the updater script and the bootloader (if the ROM contains one) yourself. You could also look around to see if anyone has taken the time to gut the older firmwares to remove the bootloader which would make it possible to install those as well. So to review, any ROM that doesn't attempt to install a bootloader and either a) passes the assert check for MJB or b) has the assert removed from the updater script will work just fine. Anything that attempts to change the bootloader OR doesn't have MJB in the assert code will fail....or worse. If you don't know what an update script or the bootloader assert check is then you shouldn't mess with them, just look for something that says it will work specifically with the MJB bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jimchee:
this is certainly true enough but looking through the att development thread it is mostly impossible to tell what you can flash on what, I have an I747M from telcel and so far I have not found one rom that I can flash successfully to my device no matter what I have tried, but that is neither here nor there, so I stand corrected sorry I tried to help.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jimchee:
by bricked do you mean no response whatsoever or can you get to download mode

Have you removed the battery? try holding volume down, home, and power while inserting the battery, if you get nothing you will probably need a jag to fix

I have downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.1 on my SGH-1747 (AT&T) but using only the firmware and not the bootloaders I've gone so many times back to stock. I just stay away from flashing b ootloaders cause I'd hate a brick
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] poppo101:
A little confused

I will start by saying that I do know that trying to go backwards from the UCDMJB bootloader WILL BRICK the phone. Been there and done that. Not fun. However the directions in this thread do work to get you unbricked - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549068 You are just stuck at using the UCDMJB bootloader which hasn't been a problem with any of the 4.3 and 4.4 ROMS I have been playing with on this phone.

Now about my confusion. From what I am reading in various threads, it looks like you can go from say the UCDLK3 or UCDMG2 bootloader to the UCDMJ2 bootloader and still be able to ODIN back to stock without bricking your phone. Is this correct? I have one phone that is currently on the UCDMG2 bootloader. As mentioned above, my other phone is on the UCDMJB bootloader. Is it possible to move forward from the UCDMJB bootloader without bricking the phone?

So in other words -

UCDLK3 -> UCDMJB - NO DOWNGRADING TO OLDER BOOTLOADER WITHOUT BRICKING PHONE

UCDMG2 -> UCDMJB - NO DOWNGRADING TO OLDER BOOTLOADER WITHOUT BRICKING PHONE

UCDLK3 -> UCDMJ2 - Can downgrade to older bootloader without bricking phone?

UCDMG2 -> UCDMJ2 - Can downgrade to older bootloader without bricking phone?

UCDMJB -> UCDMJ2 - Will BRICK phone ????

Thanks in advance for any responses.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
To clarify your list there....

UCMJB - you are stuck here, the only way you can go is sideways (reflashing MJB) or up (doubt it will happen on this device). This is as far as bootloader goes anyways, this has no affect on recoveries, kernels, or ROMs*

UCDMJ2 - downgradeable like any other previous bootloader

The reason for this is MJ2 was from a leaked version of the 4.3 update that for whatever reason failed testing and was rebuilt. In this state the Qfuse that dissallows downgrading had not been implemented.

* There is a check built into most (probably all) custom, and every offical rom that checks the current bootloader against a list of acceptable bootloaders. If your device is loaded with one of these in the list, installation continues. If it is not, it fails the check and flashing is halted. Fundamentaly MJB is pretty much identical to several of the previous bootloaders with the exception of the new 'security' features, so in theory any current custom ROM CAN work if it doesn't pass the check by manually editing the updater-script in the rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] poppo101:
[SOLVED] A little confused

So flashing MJ2 is not upgrading the MJB bootloader but actually a downgrade and will brick the phone that is on MJB if I flash MJ2. Correct? And the phone that is on MG2 will not brick if I flash MJ2 and will be able to be reverted back to stock via ODIN.

Thanks for the clarification. I knew MJ2 was from a leaked version of 4.3 but wasn't sure how it played into the scheme of things. So far I have had no issues flashing any of the 4.4 ROMS on the MJB bootloader.

Thanks button clicked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skurys:
After further reading, apparently in mobile odin you can flash stock 4.1.2 and it will ignore the bootloader. Don't know if such a method would still require passing an assert check or if it bypasses this requirement. Haven't found enough success stories confirming yet to risk an angry wife if things go south :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
I've heard the same thing but have never used mobile odin to flash anything so i can't say for sure about the assert. I can say it wont hurt to try. Best case it bypasses the check, doesn't mess with the bootloader and flashes the remainder of the stock image. Worst case it does check the assert script and it fails before it ever writes anything.

Hey guys! Can we port desire hd roms? It has got almost same specs as that of desire x (just it has single core adreno 205).. else everything's same. Desire hd has got bunches of custom roms...

It has cyanogenmod 11,android 4.4 kitkat etc.

There is a rapid development of roms in desire hd...!

Can't it be ported easily?

Thanks
[HTC Desire X] GtrCraft:
I would say try it
[HTC Desire X] $îMpŁÿ_¢ØmPłİÇåŤęĎ:

Hello all,

been trying to do this: battery progress bar

= red for <20%

= cyan for general discharge above 20%

=yellow while charging

=green when fully charged

i managed to get the red part right but have problems with yellow and green. for red i used #BLEVN# comparison. for cyan just the standard color option for foreground.tried using the battery status numeric tag but it just turns to white.

i'm a noob. so please tone down the answers. Thank you!
[Zooper Widget General] quilll:
this might help

i just started using this and kinda learning how it works but i think this will help

1st put #ff00ffff as FG Color (cyan)

$#BSTATN#=2?[cf]#ffff00[/cf]$$#BLEVN#<20?[cf]#ffff0000[/cf]$$#BSTATN#=5?[cf]#008000[/cf]$

i tested and it works for me
[Zooper Widget General] sonny_c:
Thank you quilll. Your code gave me a good starting point. Without it I had no idea what to do.

What I wanted to do is:

battery <16% = red

battery <31% = yellow

battery <100% = green

Here is what I came up with.

$#BLEVN#<16?[cf]#ffff0000[/cf]$$#BLEVN#<31?[cf]#ffff00[/cf]$$#BLEVN#<100?[cf]#008000[/cf]$
[Zooper Widget General] Fugi888:

[Zooper Widget General] Faxx4840:
I tried this code but my progress bar get transparent with this. If I change the [cf] in [cb] it works but its just the background color, I want that the bar who progress that change the color. An issue ?

Fugi888,

It is working for me. Screenshots are below.

My homescreen. The battery bar stays green when the battery is above 31%. Then it changes to yellow from 16% - 30%. Finally it turns red when the battery drops below 15%.

Add a Progress Bar and and go into its settings.

The next five pics are my settings.

Tap on Advanced Parameters.

I typed the code in the highlighted box.

[Zooper Widget General] wakaranay:
how bout if i want an image instead of bar? when the batt is 100% the image if full. then when it comes to 50% the image will only show half of the image
[Zooper Widget General] zephyr1100:
One way to achieve that should be (if you don't want the image to change its position):

Create a widget with the bitmap of your choice. Adjust size of widget to your needs. The image should fill the whole wigdet. Set widget background to full transparency.

Add a Rect to your widget. Set its Screen Anchor 'Center left'

Height of the rectangular should be set to the height of your widget or bigger

Width of the rectangular should be of the exact size of the widget's width

Than go to 'Advanced parameters' and type [ox]#BLEVN#*xxx/100[/ox] --> xxx is width of your rectangular in pixels

Set 'Drawing mode' of your rectangular to 'Clear', if you want the image to disappear completely for the percentage of battery used

Set it to 'Normal' if you want your rectangular to mask your image.

Another way is to play with the Advanced parameters of your image itself. If you can determine the width of your widget after adjustment of size just type [ox]#(100-BLEVN#)*xxx/100[/ox] there. After setting Screen Anchor to 'Center right' or 'Center left' and your image should move out of sight step by step (either left or right)... ;)
[Zooper Widget General] wakaranay:
Wow Thanks mate! how bout if my image disappear from top to bottom?
[Zooper Widget General] zephyr1100:
just play with [oy] ... [/oy] and height instead of [ox] ... [/ox] and width ;)
[Zooper Widget General] wakaranay:
Cool! but the image disaappear in reverse. what i mean. when my batt is 10% left the image left is the top instead of the bottom
[Zooper Widget General] zephyr1100:
I tried it with one of my bitmaps. For clarity reasons I made the widget background red.

I have a widget height of 172 px so I typed [oy]#(100-BLEVN#)*172/100[/oy]

I set Screen Anchor on 'Center Top'.

Seems to work...
[Zooper Widget General] wakaranay:
[oy]#(100-BLEVN#)*yyy/100[/oy] yy is my height pixel

nothing happens. i mean may bitmap is not visible

but when i type

[oy]#BLEVN#*yyy/100[/oy]

my bitmap appears
[Zooper Widget General] zephyr1100:
Oh damn.. of course it should be [oy](100-

#BLEVN#

)*yyy/100[/oy]

'#' was in the wrong position...:eek:
[Zooper Widget General] wakaranay:
[oy](100-#BLEVN#-100)*yyy/100[oy]

perfect!

thanks mate!
[Zooper Widget General] zephyr1100:
What does the red '-100' mean other than making #BLEVN# negative?

100-100(=0)-#BLEVN# = -#BLEVN#

My widget gets just messed up.. :confused:

idk. when i tried your code i didnt get what i want on my widget. but when i type those codes i got what i want.
