[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Phantomg93:
I'm going to cut to the chase on this one:

I've been on 4.3 Stock since November, lost root after upgrading, I have Knox etc etc and just up until the 23rd have had no issues. But out of the blue 2 issues emerge, 1 being my phone is Stuck in Safe mode and no matter what I do(hard reset. etc) it stays like that and 2 My phone randomly turns the volume down. Sometimes it works but lately it has seemed to have gotten worse. This is annoying because I cant listen to music and cant rely on my phone to stay on loud anymore when needed. Anyone have any similar issues or solutions. I mean I can still use my phone to do stuff but have to use the browser since safe mode blocks many of the apps I use :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
I'd either reroot and flash something else...or since you're unrooted stock take it to Sprint and complain about their OTA breaking your device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siciliano777:
Once in a while if I notice a slight lag, I bring up the task manager (bottom left when accessing recent apps), go to the "RAM" tab and tap clear memory. What's really confusing me is that it always closes a very high number of apps, even if it's only been a day since I've last cleared it. i.e. I just cleared it and it said "27 apps closed"! There have been times where it was even more...once it was almost 40.

I use the phone a lot, but it's always the same handful of apps... at most, even in a given week I don't exceed using about 6-10 different apps.

So can someone please explain to me what the hell are all these dozens of "apps" being closed? ??? I assume they're including system apps in with the regular apps, but what apps could they be? That's around 20 apps I had no idea were even running...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
They're system apps, if you're rooted you could install an app like Clean Master and take a look at which system apps are running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] billbusby:
So this is my first post because I can normally find what I'm looking for, except for in this case.

First off my phone, Galaxy S4 Model SGH-I337 running Android 4.2.2 rooted. No custom rom installed, i.e. Cyanogenmod. I recently bought some new batteries and a new charger which I had been using for about two weeks before my problem arose.

I came home one night plugged my phone in to charge and woke up to find it unresponsive. I tried a battery pull and found my phone turns on for about 3 seconds showing the samsung custom screen with the padlock only to shut off again. Same thing happens not matter how many times I perform a battery pull. I tried plugging into my computer but the phone is not detected.

I tried a battery pull and booting into safe mode and debugging mode but the phone just shuts off after 3 seconds no matter what.

I'm not sure if this is a true hard brick since when I perform a battery pull the phone starts and the buttons seem to work, at least enough to enter safe or debugging mode.

I have not seen any threads where the phone momentarily turns on after battery pull only to shut off quickly.

Has anyone run into this problem before and is there anyway to fix it???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
The phone didn't brick itself. So, if you didn't do anything to it and just found it that way (as you said), I would think it is a hardware problem either with the phone or the battery. Have you tried a different battery? If you rule out a defective battery, I would say it is a hardware problem with the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RK:
This used to happen to skyrockets due to stuck power button
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] PurpleBottle:
This right here ^

My friend has a T-Mobile GS4 and same thing happened to him. It would only turn on when he would pull the battery and put it back in, but it would turn off soon after. Turns out his power button was jammed. He went and go it replaced.

Try this: Pull your battery and put it back in. If your phone turns on momentarily without you pressing anything then the power button is the problem.

Are you able to enter download mode..or recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] billbusby:
No i can't enter either because the phone shuts off after 3 seconds no matter what I do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] billbusby:
Is there any way I can take the phone apart and fix this? I don't think returning the phone is an option since my phone is rooted.

Your exact problem just happened to me. Were you able to fix it? I'm dying to know!

Hello

I need to use Knox now but also S Note. On my Note 3 there is a Knox version but not for the 10.1.

Is there a way to sideload it?

Could anyone upload it then, please.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] chowming:
Well I'm not the best one to answer. There are many here more qualified. But Knox is a security app for Samsung that tells them if you changed the stock recovery or rooted the device. Kind of a use it and lose it (your warrantee ).

I am going to root, but first I'm going to be doing a lot of reading. That's how I did it with my other devices.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Elim:
That is the big misunderstanding here. You are talking now about a also so called Knox-Bit which works like you explained. But Knox is much more and much different because it is a system appendix from Samsung to have a secure Android platform. Which means that in some companies this is a must before connection to their internal network. And to have this work environment means that you need special apps which work together with Knox.

See more here.

I thought that the installed version already work together with Knox.

I didn't have Knox any longer so i can't check it :(

[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
Running an LS-970. I have a custom boot animation that I made, but when I put it in the /system/media folder, it didn't work! Just showed me a black screen. Not even the boot sound worked (it's stock). When I previewed it with Boot Animations in Rom Toolbox, it worked, but was slow. Any ideas on why it's not working? (I've already checked perms, it's read for all, write for owner, and execute for all.) Here's the link to my bootanimation: www[dot] dropbox[dot] com/s/3h7itrkzs5d6ytl/bootanimation[dot]zip (doesn't let me post links, because I'm new. D: )
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Are you running stock? If you are on stock and not a custom rom, it has to be named bootanimation_sprint.zip. And the sounds have to be named PowerOn_Sprint.ogg - spelled exactly like that. The file you linked to is just bootanimation.zip which is fine for most phones but not ours. If you are on an AOSP based rom, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. I'm getting ready to leave for work so don't have the time to test myself unfortunately. But I downloaded it and will test when I get home and let you know what happens.

EDIT: I do see that it's HUGE for a bootani. Whether it has anything to do with it or not, you may want to run a png optimization program to bring the size down on your images. My bootanimation is the video opening to Doctor Who and is half the mb size of yours but still at 1280x768 full resolution.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
I am running stock, but I disabled the Sprint animation and sound by adding .bak to their files, and when I previewed that, showed the default LG logo animation and sound. I then replaced that with mine... but like I said, black screen. D:

As for a .png optimization app, where can I get that?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Hmmm, the png optimization, if you are on windows, I am not gonna be of much help. You could just google it and see what ya get. Im on linux, so its pretty much one command from the terminal.

Im currenty trying to figure it out myself, everything seems right, as soon as I get something I will let you know but Im distracted, not enough hours in the day - lol.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
I run Linux on a VM. :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Well you can use optipng but I just tried that and got errors on the last 20 or so pictures. Same thing happens when I tried converting them to jpgs with imagemagick and when I ran jpegoptim, it didn't optimize them at all......

They all load just fine in gimp though. I don't claim to be an expert but have made a bunch of bootanimations and honestly can't see what the problem is. Everything looks as it should, but Ive never gotten errors with those programs before. I will have more time but not until this weekend - if you don't figure anything out, let me know and I will take your images and do a bootani from scratch with them for ya. ;) PM me or post here on Friday to remind/update me.

Sorry I wish I had an answer but it's really weird!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
I originally thought that the problem was with compression... (it said to use "store" compression instead of "normal" compression on the thread), and also noticed the last few images are just black bigger resolution images (as well as the first two frames), so I'm just as confused as you are about this. Well, thanks for trying to help. And that would really help me out if you made it by scratch... I can send you the source .avi if needed. And you already have the .png sequence... thanks in advance! :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
No problem, I figure if I resave everything you have in gimp we will see what happens. For me, the last images, aren't black, the first ones are - the last ones are completely transparent. And yeah it has to be stored with zero compression(or stored in 7zip) but I already did that to them. Im thinking the compression or values saved into the pngs themselves are the culprit. Ill have time friday night, maybe tonight but no promises, work is kickin my a$$. lol.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
Wall thanks again. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
So are you going to do it today? :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
I am currently in the process. Outside of promising my 4 year old nephew we would beat the forest temple on ocarina master quest, im free all night. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
No you're not. That forest temple ain't easy man. And there's the Water Temple...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Ive beaten this game and the original more times than I can count. Im 31, it's one of my favorites, been playing it since it came out all those years ago. Crushed the forest temple in 35 minutes. Im halfway through converting your images btw. ;)

The water temple is my least favorite tho.....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
Same, still have my original 64. :) Absolutely fantastic.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah I lost my 64. But I have the emulator on my lgog and mupen64 on my linux pc which is what I was playing on tonight. Almost done - will rezip and test on my phone and see what happens. If it works, Ill upload it to my devhost for you.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
Sweet, thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Ok, I changed all the images to jpg which significantly cut the size down. But still got a black screen. Looked at the desc.txt file again, changed the 1 0 part to 0 0......and it worked. I don't get it because the code was right and if your phone takes longer to boot up it will loop if it's 0 0. But, it works. I uploaded it for you here. If the image resolution doesnt look as good with jpegs, you can just use your original file and change the desc.txt file and see if that works. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
Thanks a lot! :D

[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
Have you tried connecting to more than just the one router?
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Or possibly have you tried restarting your router?
[Sony Xperia ZL] vinodhZL:
Nope . Even if i tried to connect to another one i should have connected to previous one . another problem which i dint mention is when i turn on WI FI thr is no notification shown on top .
[Sony Xperia ZL] ATRIXXIRTA:
It could be your router man. You will only see the WiFi icon when you are connected to a network. If your router has gone for a crap, your phone e won't connect no matter if it remembers the network or not. Try 2 things:

1) Unplug your router. Wait 5 mins. Plug it back in.

2) If that doesn't work, try connecting to a different WiFi network and router.

This way you will know if its your phone or router. And if it is your phone, since its so new, just take it to a service center.

One issue on android tablets ia there are programs that run on boot. Com.Samsung.indexservice is one of these programs. I rebooted about ten minutes ago, and system is still running at or near max cpu frequency. If you shut gour tablet down all the time, each time you turn your tablet back on there will be a long delay before indexaeevice finishes running. I seldom turn my tablet off, unless i need to reboot. Get an app like "cool tools" and you can check this out.

15min and its still running.

There its fiinishing up. 17 min

Before seeing the best performance, wait twenty min. This happens on my other android devices as well, it jhst a different program.

The second is a little more nebulous. When swiping across its been reported there can be a slow responce, maybe having to double swipe. It seems to me that note is more sensitive to off angle swipes, More so than my other android tablets. What i mean is gou need to be closer to a 90% swipe from the edge, for proper responed. Pen is definitely better, and i often use the pen instead. I dont notice misses with the pen.

Every time you restart Android runs the index service to index your sd cards. This is normal and what the OP is talking about.

since the day we got root, i've had this frozen. it's still a pretty laggy tablet for a $650 price. i'm pretty sure it's got mostly to do with TW. using the dev rom on my s4 and that thing flies now.

the galaxy note 8 and gn 2 work fine with TW though. both are exynos4 - one on 4.1.2 (gn2) and other on 4.2.2. i'm supposing some change in 4.3 or the version of TW on 4.3 must be slowing things down a good bit.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] woodsonmh:
I dont understand the lag. My tablet does not show any lag issues at all. My p600 is smooth enough for me to run in power saving mode most of the time. When i read these post it doesnt seem like its the same tablet at all. By any chance are you using a high speed microsd . This could be a difference in machines. Just wondering?

Have you tried one of the cpu monitor programs to see if something is causing it. Ive had good results with "cool tool". Look for the tick to name app using most cpu time. Turn most everything else off.

As a very simple comparison, quadrant is 3 times the score, and an tu tu is twice the score of my asus tf700, which is running the latest cromix i. My day to experience supports this.

Woody
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] madsquabbles:
biggest lags comes with browsing the old reader (don't use apps when websites are available and i prefer tabs) and having scroll mark as read on. the verge is laggy sometimes depending on the images. play store stutters until the app icons show up.

chrome is the worst with the web lag, but none remove it completely.

all video players that i've tried (bs, xbmc - so far the best, mx, archos...) experience at least one frame dropped every minute on a 720p high profile l3 @ only 2.5Mb/s with ac-3 audio. if it doesn't render the audio it'll play perfectly. even my daughter's memopad hd7 with a cheap ol' mediatek chip plays better - granted it's at a lower res.

hopefully an AOSP rom will come out that'll fix a bunch of this sluggishness. as soon as i switched to a GPE rom on my s4 it's blazingly fast. granted, an AOSP rom won't be as drastic since it won't have access to the closed drivers a ported GPE does.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] LMMT:
I'm curious, what size external sd card, are you using? This isn't normal behavior. I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but it's likely that you have a corrupt file somewhere, on your device. Mine runs if I remove my card, and make a lot of changes, on my pc, and re-insert the card. But, once it finishes indexing, I don't really see any significant additional activity, from IndexService, even after a power down, unless there were significant changes to the cards contents. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2483944

Although freezing it definitely works, it's not ideal, in my opinion. If you change, or update content on your device, often, you won't be able to access the files, you've changed (the tablet doesn't know things have changed, and can't find the files).

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] woodsonmh:
On every tablet i own there are indexing type programs that run on boot. Im using a 64 gig card with 32 gig internal. One of the reasons i dont like stock galllery is, you cannot control where it searches for files except by .nomedia file in directory. It then loads up book covers and the like that i dont want in gallery.

Size of memory probably does effect time but that depends on how full it is. If a person uses slow memory class cards, it probably will slow indexing. I think having a lot of web storage options may be the true culprit for the length of time it takes to index. However i dont know what samsung is doing so its only speculation on my part. I wasnt complaining. I expect it, but ive been reading about all the lags and complaints and so on in forums. If you take program updates, indexing and other housekeeping chores that happen when you turn your tablet on then yes it might lag, but only for a few min. If your tablet has been off for a day or two, program updates could take a while. By leaving my tabket on most of the time i dont have to go through very often. Thats why i suugested making judgment calls in the first twenty or so min might be misleading to what the tablet can to. Personly i dont have an issue with it.

The only way you can tell whats happening is by observation. My time may or may not be normal and the only way to find out is to use something like "cool tools" to find out.

This tablet is so much faster than my infinity. Ita a real joy to use, and after trying out a couple of other options im glad i dug a little deeper in the pocket to get it.

I just bought a second hand ZU (as you do...) that was advertised as "SIM not recognised". The smartarse that I am thought hmm quick buck/cheap Ultra for SWMBO.

"Yes darling I'm sure I can fix it, just look at all the posts on XDA that we have fixed - easy"

Turns out that no amount of downgrading is going to get the IMEI to return as it sitting there just fine, winking at me and laughing quietly, in a mocking sort of way.

So is there any way to get a sim card to work?, should I take the back off? should I on sell it? should I just give it to the Mrs as is?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
You could contact [MENTION=1810496]cvxcvx[/MENTION] as he specialises is this kind of thing for a small fee (really is small by the way). He can remotely access your phone and has all the tools to legitimately restore imei's.
