[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidafx:
Had been very pleased with this device in the the three months that I've had it. Until yesterday that is.

Basically the screen is jerking up and down on its own. When looking at the homescreen, the only way I can think to describe it is it's like 60% of the screen starting from the bottom is moving up and down by about 2mm on its own. I can see it eating pixels as it does so (it eats into home screen shortcuts). It also does this jerking motion when in an application or using a the keyboard.

I haven't dropped the phone, it hasn't got wet. It is completely stock unrooted and was bought SIM free in the UK in December and not tied to any network.

Things I've tried to fix it :

1.Numerous reboots.

2. Uninstalling the couple of apps that I'd installed around the time I noticed the problem.

3. Just done a full battery drain and now giving it a full charge keeping it switched off to see if does anything, (can't say I'm hopeful).

Next step is to back up / get my data off it and do a factory reset. Despite the bloatware, the stock ROM isn't too bad.

I was also thinking of just rooting it and running a cyanogen mod also.

Would be great if anyone has any ideas what I can try or if they've seen this issue before and remedied it. I can't find anything in Google and I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a random bad luck hardware problem -- which is worse than it might be on account of living in Southeast Asia -- but the device was purchased in the UK in December. Anybody know if there is such a thing as international warranty for LG phones ?

Thank you in advance.

I wouldn't root it send it to lg it sound like a serious hardware problem the g2 seems to be plagued with problems
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidafx:
Yeah I won't bother rooting it. A factory reset has made no difference and it's actually worse now and totally unusable, the screen just pogo's / jitters up and down an inch at time constantly.

The phone was bought on 22th of December, I'm pretty annoyed at getting little more than three months out of it. It would be understandable perhaps if I dropped it, or it go wet, none of these happened and the hardware has just failed for no reason.

For sure the LG repair centre where I livein Bangkok won't want to know as it was bought in the UK. And no doubt I'll get slammed for import duty both ways together with eating the postage sending back to the UK. I think I'll feel better taking a lump hammer to it and make a youtube stating what I think of £400 phones that last 2 months and carry no international warranty.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinninbsod:
Yep it is sad I hope my g2 doesn't go through the same thing i will definitely get a backup device sooner than later but like I said earlier the g2 seems to be plagued with problems which means the nexus 5 prob has the same problems maybe maybe not I'm a little nervous now because in the us most of us buy our phones locked with contract in the UK everybody buys there devices unlocked without contract from what I've heard if your looking for a new device I would wait for the xperia z2 looks very nice
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benz23:
Hello, same problem with me too, mine screen starts to jittering (like there is an earthquake inside my phone) after the latest update for kitkat, the updates says for optimising apps and such.

But recently i realize if i block my mobile data, and only using wifi for the data transfer, my phone stabilize much much better than when i used GSM/3G to do internet activity. When i used 3G my phone jittering like crazy, sometimes bottom half of my screen is gray pixels and bottom up of my screen dancing like crazy almost 70-80 % of the time. But when i block my mobile data and using only wifi, 80-90% of the time is OK, still a bit jitterish, but waaay much better.

There is also member of this forum experienced this and suggest to full cycle charger for couple of times. He say his phone stabilize after do full cycle charger (depleted ur battery until conpletely empty, than charge to 100% while turning off the phone). Im trying it tonight.

I also consult with some cellphone tech support (in shopping mall). They say maybe when i did my update, there are some data corruptions, so my phone did not update properly (corrupted). Because when you factory reset your phone, people said that it retain the latest update of software. So if you already did a corrupted update, it will stay even if you factory wipe the phone.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosh10:
Does anybody know how much LG would charge to fix this.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benz23:
Im taking it in on LG Service Center this morning, the tech guy said its Hardware problem, about some sockets loose or something like that, He fix it and because im still have the warranty, so its free, no idea how much if the warranty is expired. And i still retain the KitKat OS (4.4.2). but my data is wiped out.

So far no jitters... I let you guys know if the jitters comeback.

I got same issue recently for many days, typically starts after turning screen on. Finally got it fixed by discharging fully and charging back again. No issue now. And I try not to charge phone too often only when battery is close to zero. Try charge and recharge a few times if it doesn't work. Works for me ?

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] david.shuler21:
So I had rooted my phone successfully about 2 months ago. I then proceeded to use Pimp My Rom to further pimp it out. I had played with the settings a lot and the last thing I remember is enabling quick boot, along with a LOT of other tweaks. I then rebooted and it turned on simply showing LG logo and bypassing all other boot screens[MetroPCS]. Phone was working great. I decided to reboot the phone and now it shows LG logo and then black screen. I can tell the backlight is on, but nothing happens. When I do Vol Down + Home + Power it shows the android with the thing in his belly and then it just reboots into a black screen. Vol Up + Home + Power does nothing. I'm not sure what to do. HALP!

Just read that the new version of kitkat will be out soon. For Note3 Verizon.

I have a rooted phone. My main concern is not to let the firmware automatically download. How do I stop it from downloading

Do you have a link to the article?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bsmith0731:
IS this a trusted source? Its hard to believe Verizon will be pushing out an update anytime soon for this device.

I guess it remains to be seen!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechSavvy2:
It can't install automatically without your permission (shouldn't).

My suggestion to get the update is Odin back to 100% full stock image. Then you can take whatever OTA is at your hearts desire. Then you know everything is so fresh, so clean ;) :good:

Then we just wait for word on root ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMcGuire:
That's what I'm going to do. I hear a lot of interesting things about 4.4.2 - how it breaks SD Card access etc... I am VERY happy with 4.3 with the rom I've chosen and will happily await a Clean Rom 4.4 before I even think about 4.4.

I have 4.4.2 on my Nexus 7 2013 tablet and it's good - hopefully it'll mean even better battery life. Pretty happy with the 2x battery life increase after I've rooted. :) Here's to hoping for more in 4.4.2.

Fyi - googled and I can't find anything about 4.4 coming to Note 3 via Verizon. Back when I had Droid 1 and HTC Thunderbolt us rooters got ICS way before it came out to the carriers. lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
OP, do you have a link?

I disabled both Knox and the OTA update in MJE by using a root file explorer (Solid Explorer) and changing file permissions to 0000 ("---------") of a couple .apk/.odex files in /system/app (followed by rebooting) :

ContainerAgent{.apk,.odex}

ContainerEventsRelayManager{.apk,.odex}

KLMSAgent{.apk,.odex}

KnoxAgent{.apk,.odex}

KnoxAttestationAgent{.apk,.odex}

KnoxStore{.apk,.odex}

SDM{.apk,.odex}

FWUpgrade{.apk,.odex}

LocalFOTA.apk

This allows them to be restored at any time by chmod'ing them back to mode 0644 ("-rw-r--r--"). I suppose this is similar to "freezing" in TiBu. The first group are Knox-related and last three are involved in the OTA, but it might be sufficient to only disable the SDM{.apk,.odex} files.

cheers
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susieq29:
how do I disable SDM{.apk,.odex} files. using root file explorer. I found the files I do not see anyway to disable them?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
Rename them to .bak files.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susieq29:
If I move the file to my sd card would that do the same thing as disabling them? Would it mess up my OS not to have it in my system file.

I do not see how to rename any file? Please explain the process of renaming.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I haven't used root explorer, but I know that both Solid Explorer and ES File Manager have a way to change the file permissions mode - usually by press-and-hold on the file name, and then select "Properties" or some such from the pop-up menu.

You can also rename them if you want as suggested above (but obviously don't delete the {.apk | .odex} suffix so you won't get the two of them confused) - for instance Foo.apk -> Foo.apk.bak and Foo.odex -> Foo.odex.bak

[Edit] Also: Some root-aware file explorers make you manually remount /system in rw mode before you do anything, and some take care of it for you. If your permission changes / renaming operations fail, it's because of that. (Solid explorer just does it for you).

Usually there is a menu in your file explorer which is brought up by long-pressing on an individual file name. I would recommend you leave the files in place and either rename them or make them unreadable (mode 0000) - moving them to the SD card and back will destroy the SElinux extended attributes of the files (if any). Then a couple months from now you won't need to remember where they are. They won't do any harm just sitting there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susieq29:
Do I take out work apk and put in bak instead?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susieq29:
Got it thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
If you have root you can download fx file manager and the root add on from the play store or a similar root file manager. This will allow you to rename the files you need. You can move or delete them if you want. All the custom ROMs remove them without issue. Another option would be to purchase Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the apps with that. That is my preferred method with a stock rooted rom because all you have to do is unfreeze them and then unroot to take the OTA. With that in mind I would heed the advice of others and stay away from KitKat until a root method is confirmed if you value having root access.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susieq29:
Just changed it and the app became a blank. When I put back the app and took away the bak the app did not appear again it is still a blank what do I do to get it back in system tray. Right now it is a blank page?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
+1

There will be plenty of lemmings that rush to the sea, afraid that they are going to miss something by not downloading an update on day one.

So, wait a week or two to see if any of them make it back to shore with their root privileges still intact. Their pain will be your gain. You'll also have the benefit of reading review articles on-line that will tell you if there is anything compelling in the update; my guess is that your phone already works quite well.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Extremely confusing and vague language "changed it", "the app became a blank". also "system tray" and "put back". Huh?

Don't use pronouns such as "it". Nobody knows which "it" you are talking about.

It is possible that your file browser needs to "refresh" it's listing after a file name change. Sometimes file managers have an explicit "refresh" in their menu, or in other cases, you just visit a different folder in the file manger and then return back to (e.g.) /system/app folder to get the refresh to occur.

Hopefully all you are doing is manipulating file names.

Titanium will not work with Note 3. It actually semi bricked my phone. I was told not to Install it. The app whose name I changed then changed back is still there the original icon is just not there. I think everything is OK but got nervous not seeing the icom
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susieq29:
I think the icon just disappeared. I first changed the name as you suggested adding bak. The icon disappeared but it showed a blank page icon.Then I wanted to make sure I could put it back so I removed the bak. After I removed the bak then rebooted. The icon never appeared again? When I open file manager and look at it the symbol is a question mark.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
I learned my lesson on my last phone. It was a S3 with an unlocked bootloader. I HAD to get the update despite the warnings not to. Within 10 minutes after that I tripped knox trying to get root and the wifi stopped working. That mistake cost me $400.00 for the phone N3 I have now. Verizon was "kind" enough to give me $300.00 off any new phone despite my mistake. No more going down that road for me. Yes, I am quite happy with this phone, even with the locked bootloader.

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Trust me it works fine and won't brick your phone if you use it properly. At worst you would have to Odin back to stock if you deleted important files by mistake.

I don't think anything is wrong with the system. It is OK to have a ? mark instead of the icon right?

Hi

I looked in fastboot if my bootloader is open, than i tried to flash TWRP it gave me an error. Now i try do reboot my phone with fastboot reboot and nothing happen!

I need help please:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bokchoi2020:
1) Did you install the drivers for Huawei p6?

2) Is your phone connected to the computer?

3) Are you in the fastboot folder?

If any of the 3 above aren't done, try installing driver, reconnnect to the computer, or get into the fastboot folder in cmd.

If you did all these, I would try forcing the phone to reboot by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. It should just reboot into the system. It is not my fault if doesn't works tho.

I did it with force reboot and worked everything okay :)

I post here all way I found on the web in order to root the S4 Active i9295 (international version) NOT AT&T version

I remind you that S4 Active have a knox security which is supposed to secure our data, in fact it's a way for Samsung to void our constructor's warranty if we change the firmware / software part of the phone as root, custom recovery, install a ROM from another than Samsung or from an other country than the phone ( more precisely baseband) origin. If you active knox's flag, a binary will be change from 0 to 1 into the motherboard of the phone and this is irriversible. But I found also that : http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31999L0044:FR:NOT (choose your language by the links in the tab). This European directive says that a constructor CAN'T VOID our legal warranty of 1 or 2 years if we change the software part of our item (terminal as tab, laptop... here smart phone)

Odin way with cf-auto-root file : http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/root-du-samsung-galaxy-s4-active-gt-i9295-t62684.html This method ACTIVE knox's flag to 0 x 1 In French

In English

http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...i9295-root-anleitung-mit-custom-recovery.html

In German

With KingoRoot software (that I tested and it works) : http://www.kingoapp.com/ this method doesn't active knox's flag but if you have a too updated version of android, kingoroot can says

"It is impossible to root your device by employing exploits. Next, we will try to root it by flashing custom recovery through odin mode wich will void your warranty claim."

CANCEL IMMEDIATELY, it means that if you continue the knox's flag will be actived.

And a last method that I haven't tryed : http://www.geekyguides.com/root-your-samsung-galaxy-s4-active-with-this-easy-method/ from this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTC7muLX5jM

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ewa12321:
But inteenational s4a still dont have knox activated in bootloader if you doesnt have 4.4.2, if you have 4.2.2 and root it even with custom recovery in download mode there is no knox warranty bit. So if you have 4.2.2 and no knox in download mode you can root it without thinking about knox. Yes? I rooted mine and than unrooted, I dont have knox bit so I still have warranty, yes or no?
