When did the Note 3 ever get SDS? I heard they were fixed on Note 2's 4.2.2 firmware. (My phone never had SDS :)

BUT if what u say is true and your phone has SDS (which is unlikely), your only hope is Samsung service centre (if u still have warranty, that it) or JTAG (I think it works)

SDS was fixed in 4.2.2 Note 2 FYI.

P.S. Kitkat SD card write limitation is bull****. Why limit it? Jeez...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascanio1:
Thanks for the help.

I searched online for the same symptoms and that's why I said it has SDS. Call it what you like but the phone is dead for no apparent reason!

Yes I have warranty but Samsung HK are stupid as capibara! They refuse courier delivery paid by me. They expect me to fly from Japan to HK for "personal delivery" which is not mentioned anywhere in the warranty... thinking of asking my comsumer rights lawyer friend to handle this warranty refusal.

What's JTAG? Is it this: http://www.windriver.com/products/JTAG-debugging/? If it is it's over my head.

I agree! It drives me crazy!

By the way... what's it like to work and live in Singapore? I've been offered to move to HK or SP... have to chose one...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwenzhao:
Personal delivery? That's plain stupid. You should probably ask your friend to sue Samsung HK lol.

That's (probably) the JTAG I was talking about.

Singapore? Just a few words. Convenient. Hot. Expensive (?). Safe. If u don't mind expensive stuff (Singapore has been rated at the most expensive country to live in lol), I would say come to Singapore.

EDIT: Having hols in China right now so... yea. (China y u ban Google :mad: )

P.S. phones bought in Singapore are (almost) never carrier locked, region locked or bootloader locked. :)

Might be the battery was completely exhausted?

Try to connect the charger for at least 30 minutes?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascanio1:
Yeah... but in the meanwhile I need a replacement. What's the best or closest competitor to the Note 3 (same size & specs) in your opinion?

I live in Tokyo... I doubt that there's any place more expensive than Tokyo! Anywhere in the world will seem cheap after Tokyo! It's the hot and humd that annoys me... but HK... might be the same...

I had a really bad experience with a HK Note 3 SM-N9005 bought from imobilePhonex: I found out that it was not HK or International Model as claimed and that the warranty was only valid in some middle eastern country... the retailer asked me 300US$ to handle the warranty... DOUH ?!?!?! what warranty is it if I have to pay 3 big ones?

Do you know of any good or trust worthy online shops from Singapore where to buy phones from?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascanio1:
I charged it for 10 hours! Not the battery...

Any recommendation for an alternative phone, same size, better specs? In your opinion? Any advice for online trustworthy retailers (read my previous post - comment on HK retailer)

I need help!

My phone died: absolutely no signs of life, no reboot, no charging light, nothing at all!

I thught that it was the SDS but I then realized that it might be the battery and so I just bought a new one. To my great surprise, the phone does not charge the battery. When I bought the battery it was at 46% charge and after 8 hours of charging the new battery was down to 41% charge!!!

If I try to charge the batttery when the phone is switched off, no red light appears but the phone vibrates intermittently (every 5 seconds) and keeps doing this until I disconnect the charger.

If I try to charge the phone when it is switched on, the charging Symbol inside the battery icon appears and also the red light is on...

But in both cases the battery does not get charged! I tried 3 different battery chargers (original Samsung) and 3 different cables.

I heard somewhere that there can be some software malfunction that causes this but I can't remember or find the right post...

Help!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascanio1:
Not charging the battery

Update: the phone will charge properly only if connected to my laptop USB ports but still won't charge from any wall charger.

P.S. Try these steps to get into download mode.

No download mode?

If your phone won’t enter download mode, you can try three things:

A USB jig. Don’t pin your hopes on this, they rarely succeed in this scenario.

‘Jump starting’ – You might need someone else to give you a hand for this. Take the battery out of your phone and wait 30 seconds. Now, press the button combination to enter download mode, and with this combination still depressed, get someone to put the battery back in. Hopefully this will jolt your phone into download mode.

Take out the phone battery, and re-insert it, but don’t turn the phone on. Now, plug in the charger while holding the volume down button. Keep holding volume down till you enter download mode.

If your phone won’t enter download mode, and will do nothing but get hot when you attempt to do anything to it (charge it, turn it on), then your motherboard is in need of replacement.

Your options

I’ve seen a lot of people, when their Odin flash fails, either:

Give up. Not a good option.

Flash a .pit file. That should be used as an absolute last resort. There’s a lot to try before getting to that stage! If a flash of a .pit file fails in Odin, your phone is well and truly unrecoverable, and you will need a motherboard (MB) replacement.

Send their phone to a service centre. That costs money (& you’re without a phone for a week or so).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascanio1:
Yes. Besides I blind tested all 3 chargers, cables and wall sockets. They work with other electrical devices.

With the new battery I can start the phone and it works perfectly normally. The only malfunction is that it won't charge the battery from wall charger so I have to use laptop.

It goes into download mode, normally. With a charged battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwenzhao:
Flash a new ROM? If it's a software malfunction only a new ROM can solve your issue. And a .pit file would be useless here.

Hello!!!!! :D

I finally got the OTA update in my country :Dso what do you think guys? I got some questions here:

1- I update my device or wait for the next version?

2- im now rooted with dual recovery. I know i will lose the dual recovery but if i checked the survival mode in superSU app do i keep the root after the update?

Now i running existenZ 6.6.0 based on stock Rom with stock kernel (maybe?) and locked bootloader!:D

3- do i brick my device if updated now if im running this rom?:confused:

Please answer fast bcz i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!:silly:

Thanks

All the best!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
The OTA will fail, because it checks that /system isn't modified before updating. That check will fail because you're using a custom rom.

Sagar KhanapurkarHello,

I'm using CAPDASE case, please check the images. My question is, will this capdsae case provides a good protection like the CruzerLite AndroidBug one's gives ? Should change or keep using capdase ?

I would like hear your suggestions and advice :)

Thank you :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
I think they would be pretty much the same but no one can say for sure without someone trying some real drop tests. Most cases are never dropped tested, probably not even by the manufacturer themselves to test if their cases offer any protection. It's just assumed that they will.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quickfire:
I'm still new to the whole process of updating android without OTA. I'm currently on TWRP recovery, with Xposed Framework installed, and I also flashed a custom font package (which I presume alters the system files so OTA won't work). I'm on stock ROM.

What do I need to do to update to 4.4.3, while keeping my apps and settings untouched? I tried to look for the stock fonts to reflash them, but I couldn't find proper stock fonts.

If I do a Nandroid backup, will that backup be tied to the 4.4.2 I'm on currently? Once I have 4.4.3 will I be able to restore from a Nandroid that I backed up when I was still in 4.4.2?

FYI, http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/09/15/757207.aspx

"Recently there was a change to the Virtual Earth server that required a change to Virtual Earth Mobile in order for "Find Business" to work. Attached to this blog entry is the updated version that fixes this.

In this version, I've also added support for colored traffic overlays. If you choose "Map Type/ Traffic" you'll see major roads highlighted in red, yellow, or green, indicating how fast the traffic is moving. (Red = 0-25 mph; Yellow = 25-45mph; Green = 45 mph or faster) For now, I expire the traffic data when you exit the app. Eventually I plan to have a smarter, timed expiration. Traffic data is provided by Traffic.com and is available in selected major metropolitan areas in the United States.

Make sure you have exited the app before trying to install the new version.

OK then you don't have adb access. You are stuck with one option, use a fastboot cable to restore the system partition. Kindle fire first aid or SRT should do the trick. If you don't have a fastboot cable I recommend the team blackhat ones, they are a known place to get them that are confirmed working.

I have no idea where you could send it to get it done, I would offer my services personally but unfortunately I just got a job and am very busy and I lack a fastboot cable/adapter. I think prokennexusa might but Idk. You can run the latest kitkat based android on the device once a ROM is flashed on it. Maybe you can get a fastboot adapter while in the USA? They are a good idea to have in case you brick it again. I'm a bit of a hypocrite for saying that as in don't have one, but I figured if the time comes I can solder one together out of a spare cable or buy one if none of my cables have the pin I would have to solder.

This is plain, stock Android.

If you would like to add:

Root - Download

BusyBox - Install

Download either odexed or deodexed version

(if you would like to add root, this would be a good time to do that as well!)

Boot into recovery (please use TWRP)

Wipe cache/Dalvik

Install

This will not wipe your data. But it doesn't hurt to back-up.
