[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lynkd34d:
I must be terribly impatient or not understanding what I'm doing, probably both actually but I cannot for the life of me find a working method for loading a custom rom on my phone. Could someone PLEASE point me to a resource that will work for my phone? Info provided below:

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Provider: Verizon wireless - USA

Quoted info from settings > About Phone:

Model number: SM-N900V

Android version: 4.4.2

Baseband version: N900VVRUCNC4

Kernel version: 3.4.0 dpi@SWDD5020 #1 MON April 28 16:42:37 KST 2014

Build number: KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4

Hardware version: N900V.07

Security software version: MDF v1.0 release 2

I have root access thanks to towelroot

I have supersu as well. Every guide I've found for different rooms has been busy. I've only tried safestrap methods because I know I can switch back to the stock rom slot and have a working phone again. Im weary of methods that wipe out the stock rom as I really don't want to end up with an unbootable brick.

Ive tried cyanogenmod, and a TouchWiz room who name I can't think of at them moment. Both roms simply booted to a black/blank screen.

I really like the simplicity of cyanogenmod and it is my preference but I'm open to others. Can anyone please advise me on my options please, I've about reached my words end here. Why must these companies make it so hard to make the devices we pay hundreds of dollars look/act/be the way WE want them to be as the now owning consumer?!?

Thank you for your time, help, and guidance, I have nothing but respect for all the developers in this community, wish I understood the system better so I could be of more help as well.

-Mike
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alt230:
Do we need NC 2 and how would we install it?

I'm in a similar sitch. I have rooted my phone after the NC4 assault using towelroot. Note to those who plan to use it: there are some hijacks out there. Don't go to towelroot.net for example. I have downloaded a couple of safestrap apk files and have been reading up on how to install safestrap. Once installed, then what? I think I need to install the NC 2 kernel but how? What's a kernel anyway? How is flashing a kernel different from flashing a rom? How is an android kernel different from a linux kernel? I can't see a way to run linux commands anyway...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
Hi guys! There's a ton of guides on the forums that answer your questions. If you need help you are best of posting the exact steps you took up to that point and at what point you are stuck. Wikipedia also has a ton of information on the basic computer science stuff (what's a kernel? etc...)

Good luck :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisbrew:
Well I've got my g3 and after 2 days use I've noticed that with its 2gb memory it constantly uses 80% of it even on standby with no apps open. I did a factory reset and didn't install anything and it was still using 72% of the memory. Anyone else noticed this or is my phone faulty.......?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I think this is how Android works, it fills the memory then kills things it doesn't need. There's also ZRAM active in the kernel which uses roughly 25% of the memory as swap space.Heres a snippet from an article on Android RAM....

The problem is that Android uses RAM differently than, say, Windows. On Android, having your RAM nearly full is a*good*thing. It means that when you relaunch an app you've previously opened, the app launches quickly and returns to its previous state. So while Android actually uses RAM efficiently, most users see that their RAM is full and assume that's what's slowing down their phone. In reality, your CPU—which is only used by apps that are actually active—is almost always the bottleneck.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubhar:
Its not so much Android as how Linux manages memory. The memory usage indicated includes memory used for cached apps and information, or swap etc. In saying that LG's version of android does use more memory than stock AOSP android on say a nexus 5 (1.2gb~ on G3 compared to around 700mb on N5)

But the rule still stands true, used ram is better than unused ram.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
free ram is wasted ram.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protagoras:
So? What's the problem? Using RAM is good, it's what it's here for. Android will try to keep in memory as many apps as possible, and when it's full, it'll start killing old apps to free ram for new ones. Don't worry about that, it's how it's supposed to work, and Android is very good at that. You should never have to worry about killing apps yourself, and you won't see any bad performance impact because of high RAM utilization. These "task killer" apps out there (including the default one on your phone) have only one valid use case: killing an app that's not responsive, in a connection loop, or that you wish to manually reset for any other reason.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisbrew:
Well thanks guys for your replies. Had no idea that's how android worked. Just goes to show you learn something new everyday.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
Hey everyone.

New owner of G2 here. Bought today to replace my old ****ty SGS3.

I have some quick simple questions I hope you guys can resolve.

1. I think the phone comes with 4.2.2. Should I stay on it or upgrade to 4.4.2? I've heard of people in this forum that got worst battery life after updating. What should I do?

2. Once I turn it off for the first time, should I wait for the battery to finish completely and then charge it while it's off or it doesn't matter? I ask because some people say this improves the battery life for the future or something like that.

3. Last question (for now at least :D). What are the risks of rooting the G2? There are so many threads about bricked G2s in this forum that it scares me. I don't plan on rooting for a while, but I would like to know first what are the risks so I can be prepared.

Do I lose warranty after rooting (but not installing roms)? Is there a way to turn the G2 completely back to stock with no traces of ever having rooted if I ever need the warranty?

Thanks for all the help!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
1.) Going to KitKat I think you will see more benefits then downsides overall.....

2.)I personally just charged it up and used it til like 10% then charged it again....I think factory recommends charge it all the way and let it drain til 5% first time either way it won't really effect battery and didn't on my past phones...including the g2

3.) You could always end up bricking the phone when rooting a flashing stuff, if you are going to root I recommend reading up on it and following the thread directions when doing anything a asking when you have questions before hand. Also personally haven't seen a permabrick on a g2 that couldn't be flashed with stock images and fixed but that's me. A lot of bricks happen when mistakes happen.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
Thanks.

After a few hours with this phone I'm completely amazed. So so much better than my SGS3.

Very fast and responsive, amazing screen, love the UI, etc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chymmylt:
My TyTN is fairly new and I have a question for everybody. Is your USB port tight or does it have a little bit of jiggle to it? I'm used to new devices having a very tight USB port but on the TyTN it's always felt a bit loose. It seems to have a solid connection and it connects/charges/syncs/etc no problem but I'm just concerned if it gets looser that this could become an issue. Has anybody had an issue with this or should I not be concerned?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wiper:
Mine is rather loose too, but you shouldn't worry about the jack itself. It won't losen up in time (unless you bend the cable while it's attached to TyTN).

If the loose feeling disturbs, you can always bend the metal frame around the jack inwards slightly.

I found that different USB cables have different fit. Like USB cable that came with Holux GPS Slim, fits snuggly on TyTN, unlike the original USB cable that came with it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Make sure you have installed apktool correctly

Windows:

Download The Following From Here

apktool1.5.2.tar.bz2

apktool-install-windows-r05-ibot.tar.bz2

Unzip both files with winrar and put the contents (there should be 3 files) in C:\Windows

if you have java jdk installed you should be able to type apktool and hit enter at the command prompt and if installed it will give you all the options for apkool

Linux:

Download apktool-install-linux-* file

Download apktool-* file

Unpack both to /usr/local/bin directory (you must have root permissions)

Mac OS X:

Download apktool-install-macos-* file

Download apktool-* file

Unpack both to /usr/local/bin directory (you must have root permissions)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoreGone:
So I've never rooted and unlocked my G2 since purchasing it which is very odd for me.

Since TowelRoot was so accessible and I've got some free time lately decided to get back in the game.

My problem or question comes from not having an SD card. Do I need to backup Data? Trying to do a backup in TWRP is like 8Gb and after some efforts i've only got 5gb free. Do I need to get chopping away or was that going to backup stuff that wasn't going to be messed with anyways?

Anyone know how to delete large selections of photos without having to click on them one by one or not doing all at once?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
So are you rooted and have custom recovery now? 8gb seems like a lot. You could always store everything on your PC. To delete photos all at once you could make a folder then just delete the folder
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoreGone:
Yeah, when I go into TWRP I can't back up because I'm out of space.

I'll backup on my computer soon so I can have piece of mind.

Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbleTea:
If you want a back up that you can flash if you get in trouble all you need to backup is system, data and boot. If you backup everything you could just store on PC to save room. When you backup data system and boot shouldn't take too much room. No problem

[HTC One S] 808phone:
Use the MOUNT command in TWRP and mount internal storage. Then you can mount the sdcard in your computer. Then copy a new ROM over to the sdcard. Then use TRWP to install. Remember to flash boot.img if you are not s-off.

I am currently experiencing horribly low wifi reception. Sitting right next to the router the signal jumps from full to low randomly and it doesn't catch any wifi in spots where my other devices do. What do I do? Same happened in 4.3 and 4.4.2.

I already did factory reset, switched from Auto to 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, same happens (Well, no wifi with 5GHz band.). My router is okay, other devices catch the signal two floors down, while this can't keep it stable right next to it.

Screenshot of me sitting right next to the router.
[HTC One Max] snapz54:
I'm seeing the same problem. As much as I love the design, both the Wi-Fi and Cell reception are the worst I've ever had on a phone. HORRIBLE.
[HTC One Max] marctronixx:
could be any number of issues. each persons environment is different.

i have a linksys wrt 1900 AC router and I use all 5ghz devices and the one max works wonderfully on the 5ghz spectrum.

could be an issue with your radio in the phone itself. im stock non rooted latest update.

Do you have any (good) news from your dealer ? I have the same problem as snapz54. WiFi speed is about 10x slower than my 10 cm distant laptop when I'm not really close to my AP and EDGE/3G/HSDPA/4G data works well only 1 min if I'm in luck when i reset my connection (airplane mode on/off). The rest of the time, well... See joigned screenshot... :(

I tried stock 4.3, 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 & 6/CM/PAC/NuSense ROMs with stock/FlyKernel/built-in kernels and 4T.21.3218.31_10.16.1718.01L (3.15.1540.1) / ?Don't remember? (3.14.707.3) radios with no luck.

Now I want to flash a stock ROM with no weird apps pre-installed and no weird languages. Is there a way to do this? The only thing I could think of is flash Cyanogenmod, then back to stock. Just where can I find stock HTC roms? There's nothing like Sammobile for HTC :l

Just flash the ruu for your device.
[HTC One Max] Svolacius:

Its a way to go back to stock. Check the ruu for your carrier in the android dev section. Or perhaps original dev section can't remember which one.
[HTC One Max] Svolacius:
Right, now I am in trouble. Flashed ROM, forgot to wipe data (maybe it does have to do somehing with the problem.), booted, got decryption password because of "unable to mount /data". Went back to recovery and restored my old stock ROM. However, decryption screen still persists, leaving me able to use lockscreen only. The problem is that this rom has USB debugging off and Fast Boot on and I can't change that because of the password requirement, so I can't use ADB or boot into recovery using keys. What do I do to get into recovery?
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Hold volume down while phone is booting. Should do the trick. That will get you into fastboot which allows you to get into recovery.
[HTC One Max] Svolacius:
Holding Vol Up + Vol Down + Power while phone was on did the trick, as it restarted and while it was resarting I did Vol Down + Power and voila, problem solved.

Take my word for it having used it, it is not currently designed to work with the 3125, but does work well with the Qtek 8500 and Smartflip models. Its because of the thicker battery and alignment with the male connector in the charger and the female end in the device.
