[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Verizon kinda does "spy" on your phone. Although, it's not unannounced. Verizon added "Remote diagnostic utility" in an update waaaay back in the day. I think this was our VRALG7 or VRALG1 ICS update. You can read about it on AC.

Yes, I do remember this receiving publicity in 2012. They (Verizon) are supposed to ask you before activating it of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
I guess this is just another reason to go aosp. Pretty messed up if you ask me. They should of made us put in a secret pin to tell the techs in order to use that function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I hear you on that, although I've been on that AOSP train for quite some time. Idk if I recall the exact name of the diagnostic tool in the rom itself though. Part of me feels like it is removed from the base roms but idk if I'm mistaken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TiceMan:
Sadly Verizon is the only option in my area. I'd to do a rom and get off touchwiz but when I got my phone it already had the 4.3 update on it so it's locked down now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Due to the Verizon Remote Diagnostic utility, Verizon only has direct access to your phone when you call NOT whenever they feel like. If you can prove otherwise, you might have a claim for invasion of privacy.

So I have a zero lemon 9300mah battery and got the mean bean rom been almost a month that I charge my phone fully and in 2 hours it goes to 50% so I though it was the battery. I changed the battery to a new one still died fast than I thought it was my rom. So I changed that last night to liquid smooth and charged overnight. Woke up at 9 and now it's 12.00am I am at 3% from 100% what's going on please help me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashvetrin:
Did you follow the instruction on you battery packadge??? Even though it said 100% on the charge indicator for your phone your supossed to charge for 12 hours? and run it dead and then 5 full run and dead cycles.. run it dead down to 3%.

Then charge it for 12 hours..

You might have screwed the pooch???

Hi there!

My WiFi seems to disconnect and then reconnect every 5 to 10 minutes or so, after I have installed different KitKat ROMS. It happens with different ROMS.

My girlfriend also has a Note 2, and I also updated her phone with a KitKat ROM (Android Revolution HD), but her's doesn't disconnect at all.

You guys know what's happening here? I did flash latest MJ5 bootloader, but it says failed. Then I also flashed the WiFi Fix. In Download mode, Phone says, KNOX VOID: 1.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmxl:
Anyone?

It happens a lot now..sometimes. It seems a 4.4.2 rom issue in combination with my router.

Laptop doesn't disconnect, but phone of my girlfriend does as well. On her phone I also installed a 4.4.2 rom. Different one though.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
Another user from Phoenix ROM is reporting the same. WiFi keeps dropping on his phone. Which ROM did you flash on your gf's phone ? And which ROM are you using ? The guy I'm talking about first flashed a stock KK ROM and then Phoenix ROM so he's on the newest boot loader already
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmxl:
Hi, thanks for replying! My girlfriend (still) uses the Android Revolution 30, I use the SupremeKat. I plan to install SupremeKat on hers as well, after mine is configured and all.

Before that we both had Android Revolution version 19, which is still Android 4.1.2 I think. No WiFi problems at that time....

Any idea who it was that reported the same issues?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
It was [MENTION=3172970]Puffin617[/MENTION] he flashed the official stock ROM first and then flashed the custom 4.4 rom called Phoenix ROM and he reported that the WiFi keeps dropping. I've asked one of the users on xda who has a bit more knowledge about such things that what could be causing this cause many users are complaining about battery drain and frequent WiFi drop not sure why is it only affecting a few phones when people have flashed the same stock ROM and your case a custom ROM. If I find anything useful to share I'll get back at you. Perhaps switch custom ROM? Give Dr ketan's version 7 a shot and see if that removes the WiFi issue. Good luck

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Non Samsung based custom roms will not support it. Have a look at the current issues/bugs of the rom you are using. Samsung owns the rights to this and thus it is not available in non Samsung roms. You could try using archi, et al.'s port, but keep in mind it is in alpha stage and not stable at the moment.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerrus:
So after updating to NC2 Kitkat all apps are functioning as one would expect, save for one: the Chase Bank app. I repeatedly try to log in and it accepts my credentials, forwards me to a confirm identification by using an authorization code screen. From there I click email/text/call to get an authorization code which comes promptly.

The problem is when I enter it in, it accepts it then spits an error station that my accepted login credentials are incorrect (they're not) and I'm rerouted back to the login screen to repeat the cycle in futility.

Now what's odd is if I go to the mobile site using ANY browser on my phone (stock browser, chrome, Firefox, opera, tried em all) it will do the SAME thing. However, the moment I click "use desktop mode" and try to log in using the full site, it works perfectly, no hiccups whatsoever.

So, this means something on my phone is blocking the use of the mobilized versions of Chase's site. My first thought was my ad blocker. I disabled that completely and uninstalled it, rebooted, and still no dice.

Any ideas? Had anyone else had this same experience? I'm running stock, rooted, de-odexed Kitkat NC2 for reference. No tweaks aside from Wanam via Xposed framework.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerrus:
Another thought was maybe it's checking my root status as ISIS Mobile Wallet does. Thus I downloaded a root cloak (aptly called rootcloak in Xposed download section) for just such apps. Alas, this too is not the problem.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adoublearonn:
I'm using NC4 rooted and Chase is working fine for me. I never had to verify though because I restored the app from titanium backup. It may be obvious but did you try clearing the app data? Maybe you have a backup to restore from when it was working?

Edit: Rereading your post, I also successfully used Chase on NC2. Also, you can use Titanium Backup to restore an app and data from a nandroid backup if you didn't backup through titanium.

Hi,

i have a XDA IIi (HTC Alpine) with 2003SE and Broadcomm Stack Ver. 1.0.0.3900

i use two handsfree devices

- Headphone Bluespoon AX

- Bluetooth Radio Connection (Becker)

it is nearly impossible to get it working together automatically.

I want to switch between the devices (if in car, use becker, elsewhere use Bluespoon)

Sometimes it's working sometimes not. I have tried to write a mortscript app to force the change, not working constantly......

Trying to switch bluetooth on and off, not working constantly....

Softreset, only way to get constantly results.

So is this by design or are there any "patching, tweaking" possibilities....?

[Samsung Gear 2] contemptlasturbate:
I flash my new LG G2 with CM11, and it was working ok. I downloaded some various camera apps to try out and the phone crashed while in one of them. It now cannot be turned off and stalls at the LG splash screen. I cannot get into the bootloader or download mode as it never makes it past the LG screen.

I have flashed this phone back to stock already once. My computer still recognizes the phone and loads the drivers necessary to flash it, and LG Tools sees it sitting on COM41, but I cannot proceed. I don't know of any other way to get it into download mode. adb sees it as an unauthorized device.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] contemptlasturbate:
Nevermind, it finally went into download mode after a day of trying. I spent three years on a vanilla rom for a good reason it seems. I need an app and it's called phone. Putting away hacky toys again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redrol:
Ok this phone was purchased bootloader unlocked with 4.1.2 and I loaded JellyBeans ROM. It worked great. Recently I upgraded to 4.3 Alliance ROM which I think is the sucessor to Beans. Anyhow, nothing special was going on, using the Alliance Kernel.

I had been running like this for a few weeks, and switched wifi on. The phone rebooted and never booted again. Now it just reboots over and over. If I get into TeamWin Recovery it shows the Teamwin loader screen background and then black screen and reboot.

So at this point I can't get into recovery. I did try ODIN download mode and that at least worked.

The point I am at is I never originally unlocked this phone and I think if I odin back to stock 4.1.2 it will be back to the locked bootloader.. and then I am supposed to run the root hack.

The part I get fuzzy on is the details. I don't know what 4.1.2's stock ODIN files are called and also the proper Root exploit. I am reading but do NOT want to screw this up.

Any advice is much appreciated!

[edit]OK , after reading I tried ODIN'ing root66_vzw_stock and while it completed sucessfully, the exact same thing happens, reboot after the Teamwin recovery loader screen and also booting normally. I did also repartition using the PIT file.

I guess this is bricked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
[MENTION=3415318]redrol[/MENTION]

Root66 does not restore to full factory stock...and it sounds like you're wanting to restore back to stock 4.1.2 VRAMC3. As long as you never took an OTA for anything above 4.1.2, you should able to do this. Droidstyle has written a great guide to help with this. You can find the guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34891181

Under section 1b, Droidstyle gives links to all the files and steps needed to restore the phone. If you're wanting to factory restore to VRAMC3, you would need to choose the download link for the "Official VRAMC3 4.1.2 5/5/13" stock restore image, along with the 16gb pit file to restore the phone to full stock.... and follow Droidstyle's steps to Odin flash those 2 files back to the device. (I'm guessing that you have used Odin before, so you probably know this... but it takes a while for Odin to do the restore... so I found that I had to be patient while waiting for Odin to give a green "pass" message before unplugging the phone. I think it took about 10 or 15 minutes for me when I did it). If everything goes right and you get a pass in Odin, then the software should be restored to how it was when it arrived to you before you rooted it. Make sure to hit the thanks button for Droidstyle for his hard work with the guide.

After you restore to stock... then you can use Adam Outler's Casual program to reroot and unlock the bootloader on VRAMC3. Adam's guide is here-- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2272066

The version of Casual that worked for me was R515.... just make sure you totally disable all virus scanning on your computer before running it.. including Windows Defender...

Good luck!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redrol:
Thank you so much. This was the information I was lacking, I will do the stock VRAMC3. I didn't know that Root66 isn't a full factory restore. And yes, never took an OTA update so the bootloader should still be unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] d73jester:
my noob 2 cents

I had a similar issue the past week, I soft bricked my phone in an attempt to upgrade to 4.3 firmware. it didnt like my jellywiz rom i had installed. i had to get to bootloader and use odin to restore my phone. i used root66 and sch-i605-16gb.pit. this restored my phone to stock appearance but also rooted my phone (superuser installed).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redrol:
OK thank you so much for that information. ODINing back to VRAMC3 did get it back to booting order. This is great. I did have to do a data wipe as well using the stock recovery.

Now how to get root back..? Time to read.:good:

1) you need to have sdcard access via root to write to it. Blame kitkat. Use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

2) I can all but guarantee your backup exceeds your available 5gbs free, that's why it's failing. Backup one or two apps and I bet they go through.

I've used both s4 mini and the Moto G. The s4 mini is not as snappy as the Moto G and the performance along with the Samsung bloatware of the s4 mini is not up to the mark. Buying a Moto G or a Moto E will save you money and give you better performance and software as well as quick updates.
