I have just updated my Charmer to the newest ROM last night and found the same degrade in camera quality too, though it isn't too bad like yours but still worse and darker than the original shipped ROM.
[MDA Compact II General] pjam:
I'm using the latest uk t-mobile rom and my camera seems fine.

I'm guessing yo have played with the Adjustment option to change the brightness, contrast etc?
[MDA Compact II General] dave106:
should make a huge difference
[MDA Compact II General] foxee!!:
camera problem still

I too have just installed the latest T-mobile upgrade, and the camera is very dark...and yes I've fiddled with the settings. The camera patch sounds great, but won't run....it comes up with an unsuccessful message...anyone any thoughts?
[MDA Compact II General] Symos:
I successfully installed the patch on my phone, but it didn't make any difference at all (at least not for the better!)...So the problem remains...which is a shame, considering it is (apparently) coming from the firmware and not the hardware!
[MDA Compact II General] skedone:
i solved the problem on my mda compact II on t-mobile (uk) all i did is changed the home screen settings and removed the t-mobile bit and went back to normal theme and now camarah is perfect this has worked on 2 others as well lol so i guess there is a prob with the t-mobile customisation software

Hi all

I am having issues with my Wifi, my phone is not rooted and I am running a 4.4.4.

The problem is my Wifi keeps dropping. It's happening every few minutes and even when I have a strong signal.

When I go into the Wifi settings it shows my Wifi and then I have to press connect. However it will then drop again after a few minutes.

Anyone any ideas?

Hello XDA,

I've flashed Dirty Unicorns on my Note. I had followed the instructions but then I unfortunately installed the RAW Kernel AS last (twrp zip queuing) and i rebooted the system and not the recovery. My note starts to the title " Samsung Galaxy Note N7000" and freezes. I tried with pressing the key combination to go to the recovery but i dont have success. The screen is black and when i take my hands from the keys , the samsung title appears....Are there solutions to go into the recovery ?

Remove and reinsert the battery. Then keep the power volume up and home pressed till you see the note n7000 screen.. Let it go.. If you see twrp screen then wait..

Else,

Download philz XXLTA tar kernel file and flash it using odin.. Then again try to boot into recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azuru:
First, I want to express my sincerest acknowledgements. I am very grateful for you helping me in this desperate situation.

The first solution didn't work for me, the second one requires access to my Note's recovery mode.

Unfortunately, I am unable to boot into any mode, all I am able to see is Samsung's logo.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlmihaila:
Try to use ADB to boot your phone into download mode, or try directly to go to download mode. Flash custom rom or just a kernel that gives you root permissions and ther try to re-begin the process of custom rom flash. If it does not work, try to read some posts about soft-brick

Volume down + home + power..? Nothing?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
This should certainly get you into download mode.

From there another option (which I usually use) is to extract boot.img from your last working custom rom. Then flash that boot.img to kernel partition using heimdall.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Nice method... But raw kernel uses modules and blobs and downgrading from that needs a reflash of rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
You are right. This step is mainly to get back a partially working ROM with a recovery. For full recovery back then will need a dirty reflash of ROM then things should work again.

[S] N7000 won't boot into Recovery

Hello,

pardon me for my late reply. I was unable to charge the battery with the RAW kernel, but a friend charged my battery, which allowed me to solve my main problkem using ADB to get acces to the download mode.

I then flashed a rooted kernel and a custom rom, and now my note is working fine again :)

I am glad to be able to count on you, this forum is a true saviour in desperate situations. :)

Wow! Nice review! I also bought this device and i can't wait to play around with it!

I'm about to replace my old Galaxy Nexus (yeah, its that old but updated. :P) to a Nexus 5 but some people had some issues with the pairing. :/
[General Accessories] macdaddymac:
Anybody managed to pair with a moto G ? i'm srtuggling

Are you running 4.3, stock or custom? Should be as minimum, though my Note 2 is on stock 4.4.2
[General Accessories] macdaddymac:
Running stock on 4.4.2 the app just wont find the band

If I use custom rom then that will be work to pair the bracelet?

The new Vidonn X6 smart bracelet seems to be available as well. Will you be reviewing this anytime soon as well Vectron? I didn't like the Sony Smartband as it has no screen, and the Sony Smartwatch isn't any good either as I had to charge it almost every day.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcpma:
Hi all,

from few days I have this problem: under wifi my M7 (all stock, sense version, no root) consumes 2-3%/hour in standby, but under 3g increases to 12-13% (according to Gsam Battery Monitor Pro)

I really don't understand why: settings of previous battery drain problems (particular apps, mediaserver process, gnow, google location ecc) are ok and, however, why under wifi all is ok?

While I use the phone, usage drops to normal: the problem occurs only in standby, with screen locked.

I will root to analyze deeper wakelocks but is there something that I haven't checked?

[Asus Transformer TF701] devbro:
Hello Everyone

I have run into an odd problem. My tf701 ran out of power while I was watching netflix on it. After that it got stuck on boot. When I tried to fiddle using CWM I found out that I cannot mount data or cache. Further more I get to see 5 lines of "E: can't mount /recovery/*" where * are folders within /recovery/ . I tried to format system using CWM or fastboot, they both say they succeed but when I reboot I still get my bootanimation. At this I am out of ideas as to how I can fix it. Furthermore thanks to being unlocked I lost my warranty :(.

Any suggestions as to how I can fix it?
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
Maybe I saw something like this I dont know. Did you try mounting system first and see if that fixes it? I have no idea.

EDIT: from CWM I mean. I had a situtation where some things would not mount. data being one of them.. Not sure what else. Then I just mounted /system and everything was ok. Could it be that for some reason system is not getting mounted and you not formatting it besides an empty directory.
[Asus Transformer TF701] devbro:
Yes I tried no luck. When I try to format /data using fastboot it simply hangs both the device and the terminal too.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
some corruption seems to have occurred.

perform a hard reset in the 'stock' recovery (this will format /data).

then boot in and re-setup. any userdata you had will be gone (including media/content stored locally, etc.).

in case of /system corruption (after performing the above; you still cannot boot in), you can format that partition separately and re-flash it from the CWM file for the latest posted stock update.

you can find file(s) on droidbasement, as needed.
[Asus Transformer TF701] nero0345:
I belive I have the same probleme, how i could i do it right?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
How did you try to format data in fastboot??

That's done in recovery afaik.

What problem do you have? /data not mounting? Format it in recovery but you will loose everything stored on your internal SD.
[Asus Transformer TF701] devbro:
I finally took my tablet in for a check with asus. They said that I ahve corrupted my boot and since I replace the recovery there is no way to fix it. the only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard at this point. It will cost 190$ to replace!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF701] devbro:
Just as an update to the future readers. I ended up replacing my logic board inside using one that I got from ebay. My tablet now works just as new. As per advice of the Asus tech, DO NOT FLASH a new recovery. If anything goes wrong the original asus recovery is the only way to fix things.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
I beg to differ....

The stock recovery can only flash firmware signed by Asus and perform some crude wipe operations.

With a custom recovery you have way more tools at hand to fix problems:

You can wipe or format partitions selectively

You can take nandroids and restore them

You can check the integrity of file systems on partitions

You can fix permissions

You can flash SuperSU, custom roms and more

Some have a build in file manager allowing you to move data off the tablet even if it doesn't boot anymore

Some have a build in terminal you can run commands from.

The list goes on...

But sure - you have to do all of the above including flashing the custom recovery correctly or you can seriously damage your device like you did.

I am really sorry that you lost your mainboard and had to buy a new one, but don't kid yourself: It was not the custom recovery damaging your tablet. It was you... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] devbro:
When I talked to the tech at their center, there is apparently some special actions that only their recovery can do. These actions are those that allow changing boot table and other low level functions of the tablet which has nothing to do with the built-in memory or system files.

If I did not replace the recovery, then the repair by asus would have only cost 40$.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxtypeoxx:
Seems with the stick LG launcher you can lock the phone by double tapping the screen which is very nice. Downside is you cannot put widgets on the bottom row where I usually put my sms and phone icons at. I've always used Nova Launcher but now with Nova Launcher the tap to lock does not work which means you have to lock the screen by the button on the back which is a majour pain since I always hit the volume buttons by accident. Anyone have any suggestions on this? I'm open to other launchers and also haven't rooted yet but plan to over the next couple of weeks. Thanks a bunch.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OutCold44:
Install program screen off and assign double tap shortcut to it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpatel112:
With LG Stock Launcher you can double tap anywhere to lock the device. When using nova just double tap the notification and it will lock.

That would work on screen that is showing.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarCow:
As someone above said, install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock

Then in Nova Launcher go to settings and select the gesture for Double Tap to launch the Screen Off app.

Also, gestures are only supported in the paid version of Nova Launcher as far as i know.

Thanks a bunch guys. This solved the problem.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Can you double-tap for screen on as well? I'm loving this feature on stock.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eelton:
G3 Tweaks also lets you turn off the screen by double tapping the navigation bar (or at least the blank portions of it). It makes for a bigger target than the notification bar.

This is related to programs trying to use GPRS while making voice calls. Agile Messenger is one of the programs causing problems.

I had the exact same problem. It is a bug were an app that needs data will will request a data connection and the voice call gets dropped. In my case it was Weather Panel that was requesting data. Everytime that happen my call dropped. This reg hack fixed it.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fluxist:
same problem, an interim fix

I've had this problem too. Everytime I hard reset or change ROMs it goes away, only to come back after I install all my usual apps. As far as I can tell it is Agile Messenger that is doing it to me, but I can't be positive. I just tried that reg fix and I'll let you know if it works out.

In the interim, I have found that while I am on a call, if I delete all the Notifications that are added (with MemMaid), including repplog, HttpDog, and Agile Messenger, then the call can continue without being dropped. I haven't bothered to try narrowing it down between the three since I just want my call not to drop, but it works. It is terribly annoying tho to say, "hold on a sec" every few minutes and delete the new notifications that are added.

If this registry change doesn't fix the problem, than I will create a small app to run while a call is in progress and delete these notifications for the duration of the call. It's hack-ish, but it should work.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] golfer_boy:
The registry fix will solve this problem. Just be advised that after a hard reset you will need to apply that resgistry fix again.

The problem occurss when you are running any data applications. Microsoft now (as of AKU2) requires applications that use data to suspend data when a voice call is in progress. Since most apps are not doing, this the device sees a call for data and eventually decides to reset the phone to "fix" the problem. This always occurs after four minutes and is repeatable.
[General Questions and Answers] jungleexplorer:
I am starting this thread to be a place for Terrain owners to come for the latest info on how to root and flash their phones. The Terrain is one of the best "rugged" phones on the market, but it has been abandoned by it's manufacturer, leaving owners to find their own solutions to problems and upgrades. This is actually a good thing price wise as you can now buy a brand new Terrain for less then $85. The Terrain has about as of hardware specs as any other ruggedized smartphone on the market currently, but at one third or a 1/4 of the cost. This makes this phone a huge attraction to anyone who is looking for a rugged waterproof phone on a budget and is why this guide is essential for users.

The NEC Terrain still has plenty of life left and this is why we need to come together and find solutions for it. Please feel free to post you success stories in rooting and flashing your terrain to this thread for the benefit of all. Hopefully, will be able to form a complete guide from all the information that get's posted here.

Well, I almost bricked it few days ago. :good:

I read a thread about a patch to unlock GSM in CDMA phones and saw there a code to enter some hidden menu. I entered that menu and messed a little with band settings (wanted to get LTE to work with my operator). Next thing I know Terrain stopped receiving any GSM signal and for next hour I tried to fix it. Factory reset got me 2G signal and that's all.

It turned out that the only way to fully fix it is to re-flash firmware or radio module and as we know that can't be done.
[General Questions and Answers] jungleexplorer:
Well, this is not about unlocking or flashing, but it is a solution to another problem I and many other have been having with the predictive text bar blocking critical function keys from being accessed. The predictive txt bar is a function of the Adaptxt keyboard app and disabling it does remove that bar, but the keyboard also loses all special character function, upper case letters and numbers. After trying more then a dozen keyboard apps to replace adaptxt, I found one that works and brings back all keyboard functions without the stupid predictive text bar. It is called TouchPal.

Forgive me for this slight OT-posting, but it's not that easy to find people with this device - let alone an unlocked one. I'm located in Germany and the device runs just fine - except for the fact that Tethering does not work - neither USB nor WIFI. The PC can connect to the phone, however the connection in Windows 7 always is shown as being limited (no internet access), while internet on the phone works fine.

GMail - as well as some other functions of google also rarely sync and basically just do so on request, while they sync just fine when being connected to Wifi. And no, background data are not restricted in the settings.
