[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCoRp32:
I am a total newbie to the Android OS... I have been using the iPhone ever since smart phones ever came out. I am currently in China, and purchased a SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3 SM-N9006. I am not Chinese, so I can't read any Chinese. I have already changed my language options in the settings menu, but still, there are some complications in the applications that are always in Chinese, and I can't seem to change it back to English. The SAMSUNG store app for downloads are in Chinese, and other basic apps are in Chinese as well. I was wondering if there is any way possible to have the phone's firmware in English as if it were a phone bought in the US.... Please.. I have been searching all over the forums looking for answers... PLEASE.. ANY HELP PLEASE.... if there is a way to get this done, whether by rooting or ROMS (which I, honestly, do not understand how to do)..... :( could I please have a detailed, step-by-step version of what I need to do?

VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.... THANK YOU COMPUTER GENIUSES!!!!

The stores read of your sim card and ip address. So in theory if you were in an English speaking country, it'd show in English
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testmonkey1:
I think changing the CSC to a different country will help you but it may cause other issues (with your mobile network for example)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
AFAIK, the N9006 has some complications to it. I don't think you will find any custom ROMs.

If the language of the apps hasn't changed with the language of the system, they must be hard coded in the APKs.

You could try this. Root it, make a nandroid backup and push APKs from the standard N9005 ROMs to your system.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCoRp32:
so... if i get a sim card from the US, then go into the store app... i can change them to english?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
If the sim/location IP are reporting you in the US then yes, the language will be English AFAIK.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCoRp32:
how do i make a nandroid backup? and how do i push APK?s .... sorry.. i am so lost....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
Install a custom recovery. Search the forums. There was a link for rooting/installing CWM on the N9006.

There will be an option for taking a backup in the recovery.

After that, just replace the APKs in the system partition with other APKs with some app like root browser.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] locn:
I also have a N9006. Best bet is to root it and put google apps on. I haven't been able to find out if the firmware is compatible with the n9005 as far as I know the n9005 o ly come in 32gb and the N9006 is a 16gb only.

After you root you can delete all the Chinese apps.

Got a tutorial of how to root using urdlv here.

Hi! I am a newbie too. First time I rooted a mobile.

I have N9006 with kitkat 4.4.2.

May I know which version of CWM have you used? I can't find any CWM for N9006 kitkat anywhere.

Thank you in advance.

Nothing recent to research for our N3 so I wanted to hear from the peeps that are controlling their Notification LED using apps such as "Light Flow", etc.

I downloaded Light Flow Lite and do not want to buy their paid version until I listened to the opinion of my peers who own the same device.

Anyone out there using apps to control their LED, and which apps do you like/hate?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XiphoneUzer:
Wow, do you guys know how many colors our LEDs are capable of making?

Android is famous for its adjustability, and yet no one wants to take control of their notification LED?

Makes no sense to me, I don't get it. :confused::confused::confused:

Try posting in the "theme's and apps" section for more responses. Dont double post though! Click the caution triangle at the top right of your original post and ask to move this for you.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XiphoneUzer:
You mean "more" than zero - lol

That certainly makes sense to me bro, but in the past, similar threads were move back here because I was "asking a question".

Regardless, over 100 views and no one else has any motivation to control color of notifications, why not?

So far, just with the 1st free app I have tried, it's light years better than just the plain blue for everything..

sms flashes green

e-mail flashes cyan

missed call orange

calander reminder purple

low battery red

incoming call blue

So if we move this thread, will I get 200 views not interested, (instead of only 100 - lol)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
I could care less about my led color because I have a galaxy gear. But if I didn't, I'd be checkin out some led apps!

I posted in here recommending to move your thread because I did see you had views and no comments. I couldn't leave ya hanging. Maybe wait a few days and let your post marinate here. Then ask to move it so it can get a couple hundred more views without comments in that section too! Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raduque:
The only thing I would care about is being able to set different colors for different contacts.

I dunno what's different this time around. I remember doing this a year ago using image 2 wallpaper to fix the issue but this time it isn't working. I've tried that, quickpic, and simple image and it's pretty much the same issue. When I leave the picture as it was originally downloaded and try to set it as a wallpaper I get this result:

http://postimg.org/image/4t5igp6mb/

As you can see it's zoomed in some, and this is even with simple image where the wallpaper is static. But when I flip the image on it's side it fits perfectly:

http://postimg.org/image/cykgabs2n/

Does anyone know why it's doing that cause I've ran out of ideas. I've tried every app I could think of that should fix this problem but it isn't working. The image I'm using is 1920x1080 and I've tried images with resolutions lower and higher than that and it's still the same result. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Miuru Nishanthana:
Hey Guys..I`m very confused...:( :confused:

I need help.Im gonna buy a used Optimus G pro(F240K).Seller has sent me a few images of the phone.Can someone please confirm me that this is a genuine original phone bcz there are so many fake versions,replicas and many model numbers to this phone(F240k,F240L,F240S,F975,E988,E985).:confused:

I have attached the images..Please can some one confirm this is a original phone or not

View attachment 2568477

View attachment 2568478

View attachment 2568479

View attachment 2568480

I have another favor to ask..I have choose one of these models to buy..Can you guys give me a recommendation on this

These are my choices

LG Optimus G Pro(Used) (300$)

Samsung Galaxy S3(Used) (240$)

Xperia V (300$)
[LG Optimus G Pro] stfly:
None of your images are working, reupload them. Also, it's usually the best-sellers that are counterfeited the most. Luckily, our OGPro is not that much in demand :) so I doubt it's a fake one but reupload your images so I can give a better opinion.

Out of the three phones you have listed, I would recommend LG Optimus G Pro(Used) (300$) for sheer value for money. It's a very fast phone with great battery life on stock.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Miuru Nishanthana:
Anyone..?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Miuru Nishanthana:
Thank you very much for the reply..I have attached them again...please take a look :fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus G Pro] stfly:
Yep, I'd say go for it. I just compared the photos to my set, a F240L. The GPro in the pics looks genuine. As I wrote earlier, I doubt you'd run into replicas of the GPro. The various models are for different markets with Korean F240 having an antenna (visible in the last photo).

Remember, you might have some annoyances like roaming reminders and SMS character limits on the stock F240 ROM. I installed G2 V5 ROM on mine and the phone's perfect now. Feel free to ask for help later when you get the phone.

Try to see if the seller is offering the spare battery with dock charger that the Korean GPros shipped with. You might offer him $15 extra for that. That would really sweeten the deal.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Miuru Nishanthana:
Thank you very much :)

the price i have stated is only for the phone.He said this is F240K..so its true then right..:)

If i have to pay another 15$ or so for the rest it would still be a good deal right?

Since you are the only one replied to my question while thanking you very much for that im also asking about this..

How is the software,developer support ?Any kitkat roms?

Are there any good roms(like cynogenmod) for this version? :confused:
[LG Optimus G Pro] stfly:
About the battery, It's highly likely he doesn't have a spare to give. I got one with mine and it's very convenient to swap them out when on the road. So yes, if he says he can provide a spare original lg battery with a charger, then it's a good deal even with the extra $15.

There is a decent number of kitkat roms available but the custom ones have a few glitches. I just went with the G2 V5 and I'm happy with it. It's stock based, 4.1.2 and is very stable. But do not expect major development for the GPro, if that's something that's important to you, a regular stream of updated roms, then I'd suggest you choose a different phone.

Good luck.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perspex:
Hey guys,

I have little knowledge about phones, rooting, custom firmwares, roms and stuff. So help me out here please. I recently updated my xperia Z to the official 4.3 update and my phone was rooted at this time.

So i updated my phone without any hassle, my phone got unrooted and a whole bunch of problems started happening. After the update half my apps don't work anymore especially the stock apps, whenever i open album,movies it closes the app and says "unfortuantely album/movies has stopped".

It's even happening with games liek subway surfers stopped working, the games that require me to connect to google games or something doesn't connect. It's a really frustrating problem, but other stock apps like walkman and camera are working fine. Track Id is having the same problem. It's really weird and annoying.

I would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this.

Could you please help me? Someone I bought this phone from had done this.. and I didnt know it was a custom rom so I flashed the Tmobile stock recovery KDZ thinking i could unroot and get my OTA updates. Turns out it was a sprint phone, and so the tmobile stock rom is unstable, rebooting all the time and so i cant even root now. I cant flash the TOT file from sprint because the phone now thinks its a D801 (due to the CRC check)... could you help or explain to me how I can get sprint stock rom back on this phone ? I don't know how its possible when it keeps resetting, and wont allow me to install Sprint TOT because LGFLASHTOOL says "wrong model" .. is there a way to make this phone think its a LS980 again intead of D801 in the settings... and please keep in mind it reboots every minute or minute and a half on me so if your method involves a bunch of work that i cant pull off quickly im a little it screwed... i figured there might be a way to edit the model number.. please help if you can, i just bought the phone and if its bricked i just lost a lot of money... thanks in advance

I'm going to assume he knows how since he is taking about files that's can only be flashed through the lg tool.

And that's all I would be able to recommend to you to fix it would be follow the back to stock method for our device.. Maybe abd a recovery to the phone that's all I would think to do.

Are you on sprint If so do you have insurance you can go to a sprint service center. They can advanced exchange it for you but don't tall about rooting it or flashing a tmobile firmware on it or they won't do that. Or have a buddy with sprint & insurance activate your device they can do the exchange on it is free that way.

give me a few minutes and ill get you a stock d801 rom that will boot on your device (modified to work on our ls980) that should allow you to flash it through recovery, then get booted up to place a rom on your internal storage

this is a stock tomible rom that will work on our ls980 - this was made by justinswidebody.

flash this (just like a normal rom) reboot your phone

place your new rom on the device, flash that (just like a normal rom)

and that should return your device state back to a ls980, or you can boot into the rom change your build.prop and then use download mode.

either way should help fix your issue.

After flash, you ve got tmobile rom. But always crash every 30 seconds.

Root via adb, and flash twrp recovery. You have done quickly coz random boot.

After success root and flash twrp, you download stock rooted rom sprint ekstension zip.

Flash via twrp, and you back to fasboot mode, bootloop. But your g2 was sprint again.

Download rom back to stock, fill dll and tot file, flash via lg flash tool. Awesome, you be back to new handheld.

This is a post I made in another thread two days ago.

I was able to go back to the stock Sprint ROM. I've been working at it since I posted my last post.

Go here and download the tools pack in that thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542442

This youtube video walks you through setting up the flash tool and what you should do. When it says to unplug the phone and power off then plug back in, I just unplugged and plugged back in while holding Volume up button.

I did everything in this video and it kept saying fail since it shows that it is a T-Mobile G2 and not a Sprint. To fix that, I went in to TWRP and wiped system, cache, dalvik, and data. Then it worked perfectly. I'm now back on stock.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc fan89:
I first flashed custom recovery via adb or you can do by recovery flasher...then I sideloaded stock sprint ROM ( any sprint rom(zip file) will do). So it would think it's a sprint g2. Then I finally flashed it to stock sprint rom with lg flasher tool. Basically what abiarul said.
