even after you flash a custom recovery...your phone will automatically flash stock recovery every time it reboots...so that's why you will get into stock even if you flash CWM/TWRP or what you like.....

Done

Thanks guys.

Above solution didn't work for me but I got it working through rom manager App. I reboot to recovery through ROM Manager and it worked.

How ever After I installed Pacman rom, I couldn't use App as there were no Gapps and wouldn't boot to recovery. The workaround here was to press home, volume up and lock button simultaneously and release it after few second and it will go to custom recovery.

In the end, I am on Pacman Nightly 06/04/2014 with Philz touch recovery.

Hi all - not sure if I'm installing or not deleting old information correctly but I anytime I put a simple rom, my 32 SDcard only has 24 available gigs of storage.

Am I installing something wrong or do you lose 8 gig right out of the gate? That seems like more than I'd expect.

I've googled for an answer but it's a weird issue - any help is appreciated - thanks!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archzz:
Im guessing you are talking about the phone version with 32gb internal storage? If so, I also have 24.8gb available space. I'm guessing the rest is reserved for android etc itself.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmead1143:
Yeah - I guess it takes 8 gig for firmware/OS - didn't think it'd be that much. Thanks.

Hey y try yo unlock bootloader to my dna and y probe various methods but does not work and I saw this icon unselectable wifi, I can not turn, I can somehow restore to work wifi ?
[HTC Droid DNA] Di5cip1e:
You can try the bootloader unlock through HTC's website. Just Google "HTC dev unlock". I know I rooted/gained s-off with my DNA using Moonshine. As far as wifi, make sure your security settings match between your network connection on your computer and your phone (or possibly your phone has a bug and needs a factory reset/cache wipe?) Search around and you learn so much! *But be careful.
[Micromax Canvas Turbo A250] amandeep86:
Hi Guys!

Can somebody please confirm if this phone supports Native Video Calling over 3G Network? i.e. option to make a video call from the phone's dialer or contacts and not via some third party apps like Tango, Skype, Hangouts, etc. :confused:

Your help is appreciated :good:
[Micromax Canvas Turbo A250] satyamdhaker:
Yes, Canvas Turbo A250 supports native video calling over 3G network and no need any 3rd party apps for that.
[Micromax Canvas Turbo A250] amandeep86:
I did hit thanks. And you sure about it?
[Micromax Canvas Turbo A250] satyamdhaker:
Yes off-course i am sure below is the screen shot for your reference.
[Micromax Canvas Turbo A250] amandeep86:
Thanks!

Thanks for the screenshot mate. I got 2 high-end phones but, they suck :mad: when it comes to Native Video Calling Functionality. That's why I'm going to buy a 3rd one.

I guess you own this phone right? If you do, how's the battery life? I've seen many comments on the internet where people are complaining about it's battery. Can it last long for one full day with normal usage?
[Micromax Canvas Turbo A250] satyamdhaker:
I have this one and I am a proud owner. For my day to day use it is great companion and I have no problem for battery and performance at all.

I charge it daily once till 85% in the evening and is fine for next whole day for me for average use

So at the end you have to choose that how much your uses and decide.
[Micromax Canvas Turbo A250] amandeep86:
Good. I don't talk much on the phone and ain't into gaming. I guess it will serve the purpose. Thanks!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeAsADroid:
Is there a way to lengthen the "time on" for the lockscreens w/o entering password?

Title asks it all 8)

Looking to extend the awake time for the lockscreen while it's waiting for one to enter the password, unlock pattern, etc.

EDIT: Reason being - while using the Xposed Quick Access module it would be nice if the screen didn't off itself after a couple of seconds whilst I'm reading whatever info I have set for Quick Access-ability.

Thanks!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeAsADroid:
Sooo... I think I've solved this issue with a Tasker task. Tested with an n = 1 data set, but that one was a success. Looking forward to future testings to see if this works and solves the issue.

For those interested - in Tasker, I set up an app profile and triggered screen on, never timeout while that app is open / on-screen. Not the most perfect task since I'll have to actively remove the app from the screen for the phone to operate the lock function as normal, but I think it'll work for what I was hoping to do.

- Using Xposed Notification mod, I can pull down the notification menu down when I receive a new notification (an email for example).

- Or even better, using the Dynamic Notifications app I can open the email straight from the dynamic notification (similar to the function found on the Moto X for those not familiar).

- Then through the Xposed Quick Access mod, the email opens right over the lockscreen without going through the whole unlocking the phone process saving a few motions, clicks, etc.

- Then the Tasker task takes over and keeps the screen on whilst I'm reading / responding to the email, then when I delete the email and the lockscreen appears, the Tasker task ends and the screen goes back into default screen off / timeout mode.

Hopefully this will help someone else out in the future, or give someone else another idea! 8)

OK - after seeing this video, I'm pretty set on not using a case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=py6zXJoS-cE

I was on the fence to start given that the phone is so darn huge already and I didn't want to add bulk. The one thing that got beat up in this video is the chrome bezel. Does anyone know of any of those full body protectors (similar to Invisible Shield) that have a piece for the sides/top/bottom? They don't all come with it and I have no plans to use screen protector or back protector, just cover the bezel.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] km8j:
Bump
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] thegrants82:
I would never put a case on any galaxy.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] km8j:
Lol ok, but do you know any side protection films?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] hamlettime:
Interesting argument, but I'll still use a case for now. I'm overly protective.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] km8j:
This phone is so stupidly big (not singling out the S5, they all are now) that there is a special one handed mode which shrinks the screen down so you can get to to the top left corner (if you are right handed). Need to do whatever we can to not add bulk.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Dinzy:
Coming from an OG Note, I am slightly disappointed by how small the S5 is.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] evilbeef54:
i still will use a case, my phones go everywhere with me, and get banged around pretty good, some of my cases have quite a bit of wear on them that i would hate to be on the phone, a $5 plastic case off Ebay is cheap insurance, and lets you get a lil personal touch to it, this time i decided to go with the $30 case but being as how the phone is water resistant it will be with me at all times so it will probably get a lil more abuse.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Lodaserves:
Do you think it is safe to dont have a case? i think its not safe
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dca1970:
i never use a case or screen protector. that's what insurance is for
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] km8j:
insurance from cell carriers is an enormous rip off unless you are very high risk. phones depreciate too fast for the high monthly fee + deductible to be worth it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Guadalupeohara:
I think he did not know it. So that he do not want side protection case,,(hehehe).. But case is almost need against side protection affairs..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
Noticed my Verizon Note 3 running stock MJE wasn't autorotating back to portrait in Chrome, Google Maps, etc. The only temporary workaround is to press the home button but the issue returns if it switches to landscape. Only thing that properly restored autorotate is to reboot into recovery, wipe cache then boot into normal mode. Lost 1000+ hours of uptime from rebooting.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Rebooting once in a while is good for your device and it isn't uncommon to have to boot into recovery to clear dalvik and cache occasionally.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aimgrabber:
For some reason, the auto rotate function has stopped working. I'm rooted on a stock 4.4 Rom. The situation occurred after I was removing some bloat ware using titanium backup. I first assumed I must have dropped it, causing sine damage to one or more of the sensors. I've downloaded numerous sensor testing apps and checked *#0*#, and saw that all the sensors are working (or reporting they're working at least.). What can I do to get auto screen rotation working again, without having to use a third party app?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
OK...

Alright, you're rooted, running a stock kernel and everything is in alignment (baseband, ROM build number, &c).

Try factory resetting your device, and perhaps installing a stock DeOdex or Odex rom on the dev forum, and see if that doesn't get you back.

I appreciate you showing the screen, but it provides some info that many do not state in their initial post.

I assume you've checked all of the normal places in settings (i think there is a toggle in the pulldown menu for autorotae on/off)).

Good luck, definitely sucks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aimgrabber:
I've done a factory reset, and the problem persists. I've made sure the screen rotate toggle is on, and in apps like YouTube where orientation is forced into landscape, if I turn the phone horizontal, the orientation will change. It seems like I just can't get the screen to change into landscape automatically.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
So...

So, it works in-app for YouTube when forced (say a video on an app when viewed from the play store), but not when in, say, the stock phone app? Please confirm same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aimgrabber:
I just tried the youtube app, When I put the phone in lanscape orientation, there is no change in the screen. If I tap the enlarge button for the youtube app, it will be forced into landscape mode. From there, when I put the phone back into portrait position, it will automatically change, as if the phone was working normally.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
What about the Phone App

It would be helpful to know the details requested; namely, your phone app (stock phone, nothing else, not concerned with YouTube at the moment, as we can tackle that later).

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kaos420:
WAIT i know your issue.....did you delete the samsung hub apk? write back i can fix your issue in 5 minutes no need to reset anything.

do this

1 extract libgnustl_shared.so from system>lib of your rom's zip.

2. Copy and paste to System>>lib and change permission to rw-r--r--

3. Reboot

dont ask me why but deleting hub deletes that lib. its need for auto rotation. i did the same thing.took me forever to figure that out .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aimgrabber:
Crap, I actually did, pretty much right before the problem occurred.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kaos420:
yup see my reply to fix it. you know about permissions and how to extract right?

Permissions I know, extracting not so much. Hate to ask for more help, but how does one do that?

download that and move it over and change permissions reboot. then report back. match permissions of the other libs for reference.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northlogic VFX:
Hello everyone

I really would appreciate some help. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note i9220 bought from Finland. The battery life never was really good, but then the phone started to experience some heavy battery drain, I can't say exactly when or if after I did something. I am running the standard firmware with the newest update. Also the battery icon keeps flashing now and then. I thought that buying the MPJ 7000mAh battery would be the game changer, but the battery life is as bad as with the regular battery. I recovered the phone to factory settings, didn't help, tried to shift the MicroUSB-port connector in case it was contacting the frames and cleaning the port, didn't help, tried to remove the MicroSD card since I read something that card formatted with a older firmware could have some problems with the newer firmware, didn't help. It seems that there is no other way to stop the battery drain. Maybe my unit is just exceptionally bad? Thanks for any help.

Best regards

Northlogic VFX
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northlogic VFX:
Preliminary report showed that removing the MicroSD card enhanced battery life. Though still there is the problem of the battery icon flashing. My phone cannot enter the Deep Sleep state, and I think this is the reason and if it could, the battery life should be much longer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabreFaction:
I have seen this on the Note N7000 when the USB daughter board has been replaced with a cheap copy.

Do you also have problems with WiFi and/or Voice network signal strength either being low or fluctuating a lot (i.e. dropping then re-establishing connection)?

Do you have problems with the microphone? E.G. people not being able to hear you clearly?

The battery drain, microphone and/or signal problems were symptoms of a cheap copy daughter board.

Quite easy to fix though, get Samsung to replace daughter board (£35 UK service centre) or buy an original on the interweb and fit it yourself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Northlogic VFX:
Hey FabreFaction, thanks for your message. The problems with my Wi-Fi has been hard to tell apart whether it's a connection problem in the phone, or just that the fact that the places I have been have had fluctuating connections. But I don't really have had any serious microphone and signal problems. I will be draining my battery out and fulfilling it to 100 percent and then check out the battery life in my normal usage. After removing the MicroSD card for test the battery life has been significantly longer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabreFaction:
It seems odd that the SD card would drain your battery significantly.

Difficult to comment on as I have run my N7000 with an SD card from day one.

The best thing you can do is install Better Battery Stats and post the log on the XDA thread for the experts to analyse for you.

They may be able to identify what is causing the drain you are experiencing.

It's worth reading through the OP on the thread before you get stuck into BBS.

So I have found that it is difficult to get the connection to the USB-port (the cord needs to be in pretty exact position for order to work), is this also an effect of the cheap USB daughter board copy? It should not be the cord, since it was pretty new when I bought it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve271:
I had exactly the same thing, the reported charge would drop from 50% to 2% in five minutes or after a restart. I replaced the battery and this completely solved it. I think the battery just could provide enough Ooomph when it was needed.

try another microSD

The 16GB card I had in my Galaxy Note was around 4-5 years old, had been written to A LOT. It was a standard Sandisk card.

I was having all sorts of problems with it freezing up my phone on certain apps (I keep a lot of them on my ext card). After

moving a couple apps that were freezing back to the internal card, the problems stopped, but I was still having battery drain

issues. (back of phone would get hot, would not go to deep sleep etc).

I bought a NEW microSD, same size and copied everything from one card to the new card and haven't had any issues.

Battery life is improved. One other thing. The original card was also having issues with it working in my PC. Sometimes it

would read, other times it would not.

Might try a new card see if it helps also.
