[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hec1N1:
What's up guys, I have a newbie question. I have searched everywhere for a definitive answer but what I find is conflicting.

Here is my situation.

I have Sprint Note 3, it was rooted on stock 4.3 rom. About 3 weeks ago I downloaded a mp3 organizer from the app store. I am an avid music lover and constantly download new music whenever something catches my eye or ear. I had exactly 2,249 songs on my N3, I ran the app and let it do its thing, once it finished my N3 rebooted and when it can back up I started the Native Player and it could not locate any music on my device. I checked a file explorer and sure enough my SD was wiped clean. All my music, photos, vids and docs GONE. And me like an idiot did not have it backed up. The phone even read insert SD. It totally f-ed up the SD. I uninstalled the app and everything pertaining to it from the device memory. I still have this SD in hopes that someone can retrieve the lost data on it.

I purchased a new 64g Samsung Class 10 SD and put it in, formatted it and everything was good. It still was not acting right. All the music I tried to put back on the SD kept getting erased soon after. So I odined a stock factory rom with no root hoping that an update to 4.4.2 would help in anyway to make the N3 work right. I soon found out about the write permissions issues in KK. I flashed the Kitkatkiller V4 (NC5) rom (thanks Josh Beach, great work) to get my phone nice after the new update and get the wifi hotspot. Now I want to add the write permissions to my platform.xml file but I get 2 different answers. 1 says to add <group gid="media_rw" /> to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and to WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE. The 2nd says to add the same to READ, WRITE & ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

Can anyone help me find a straight forward solution. I tried the sdfix app(s) and they all say no action required, but I still have the same write issues. Everything I download has to go straight to the device memory and when I move the file(s) it erases soon after. Idk what I need to do to resolve my issues. Can some please help me out with the write permissions and possibly a solution to gdtting my lost data from the old SD, it would be greatly appreciated.

On another note.... XDA is the best. Everything you need to know for a growing community. Thanks!!!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hec1N1:
I've tried the SDFix app already and it tells me "no action required and that the phone already has the permissions" but I still have the same problem. I will try the recovery SW whem I get home later tonight.

Thank you.

If any one has any more suggestions please keep them coming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
I ran into an issue similar to this. There may be another way to fix it however I ended up re flashing via odin to stock, in stock recovery wipe data factory reset. Then I rooted and flashed custom recovery. Then I reformatted xternal sd card in computer, put sd in phone while still on stock rom. Once booted up I used sdfix and all was well again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hec1N1:
Thats basically what I did after getting the new 64g SD and still didn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kcsween:
A question or two

What file explorer are you using? Have you tried mounting the system as RW, if not then this HAS to be done first before editing platform.xml file. Also, I had this same issue, as I'm sure everyone else did, when I flashed/upgraded to KK 4.4.2 and I only had to make the below edit in red (I added the line):

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

Of course you already know the platform.xml file is located at system/etc/permissions.

If all else fails, please try installing the Xposed framework then adding the module for this fix and see if that works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hec1N1:
I'm using Total Commander to edit the platform.xml file. I have not mounted as RW but I can still edit the file. Is that the only place I add the line to?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave2metz:
Hello. My Nexus 5 has been getting really hot while watching movies. I am using a SlimPort to display video to my TV. I am also charging my phone through the Slimport as well. In the past, my phone would get warm, but never so hot that my phone powers down. I have been using the same SlimKat Rom, so nothing has changed as far as that. Would changing any of the CPU settings help in any way? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first off, by hot you mean what temp? CPU and/or battery temp.

now, while you are watching movies, its normal for it to warm up quite a bit. if you add to that being plugged in charging, it can get down right hot. but there are 2 safeties features in place so that you dont worry. first is the thermal throttle, which will reduce your CPU speed to cool down your device. if that doesn't stop the warming up, you have the battery temp safety shutdown and the CPU temp safety shutdown. battery temp shutdown is when your battery reaches 60C, and CPU temp shutdown is when your CPU reaches 105C. but really, just realize that when you are charging, and using your phone, it can get really hot, and that's normal.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
It may just be warmer weather which has your phone running warmer then before. Does SlimKat alter thermal throttling limits?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmob101:
I have a UK N-9005 Note 3 that won't turn on. It's all stock on the EE network.

It's been nearly 2 hours and I've tried pulling the battery out and reinserting. Power button, home and volume down for 15 secs and still no response. Also tried a different charger but nothing. Even tried attaching it via USB to my laptop and still no sign of life. There's no red light or vibration when I plug the usb cable from the charger or laptop. What else could I try?

It's nearly midnight here so I can't get hold of a spare battery to try and also try my battery in another Note 3. I did have a micro sd card in there which I've taken out but I'm just worried about my data on the phone. I hadn't even backed up my contacts or whatsapp logs or pics that were on the phone's memory. Anyone else faced this problem? What could it be and how can I recover my data?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:
If it's not a battery then look here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2624203

Or google other similar thread about 'debrick image'

Or get a warranty replacement before you make it worse.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmob101:
Thanks, I will try that in the morning. But 1st I'll try another battery and hopefully that'll be it.

My top priority is the data on the phone, do you know if the method in the thread you mentioned wipes everything? I'll take the phone to the Samsung store in the morning and see what they have to say. Cheers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:
I'm not sure but I think it will. After reflash firmware with odin maybe you'll need to wipe data.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soumen.sam:
I don’t know whats the issue. But after this fixed if you’re using any antivirus then move to Avast and use its backup added app. It will take a backup of contact, call logs and sms every day or even during every activities.

Any phone can dead/down any time. So its better to take backup all time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmob101:
Yep, absolutely. And the funny thing is yesterday morning I was looking at some backup apps but as most of them require ROOT for full functionality I didn't download them. You think it'll never happen to you and then BAM, phone is dead.

Anyway I'm going to the Samsung service centre in an hour so let's see what they say first. Will update thread with the result.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
It's likely a dead motherboard.

As for backup apps, in the future, try Helium.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmob101:
Ok so I handed the phone in to the service centre yesterday afternoon and was told it's not the battery and they'll need to keep the phone and run some tests. I was told I'll get the phone back in 2 or 3 days and they'll call me when it's done and in the mean time I can track the progress online.

Yesterday evening I thought I'll check to see if they've started work on the phone and the online tracking system said the repair has been completed. I Quickly drove down to pick it up and was told they replaced the motherboard and the data is obviously lost. The phone wasn't rooted or anything but all that time I've had it I tweaked everything to my satisfaction and now I'll have to start all over again.

@ ShadowLea I've used Helium before to back up my Note 2 before I sold it and transferred the data on to the Note 3. It didn't back up all the app settings properly and messed up my Whatsapp folder big time, with different pics under different contacts and so on. I'll give it another shot and see how I get on once I've set up my phone again.

And I'd advise everyone to at least have some basic back up solutions in place to insure against the worst happening to your device.

On a separate note, what's the best ROOT method right now? I don't wish to install custom roms and kernals and would prefer not to trip knox in case I need to get the phone repaired again. I have the SM-N9005 running on 4.4.2.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] gonzaloblanco1992:
Could anyone shed some light on this before I finally decide to go back to the previous ROM:

1.	The phone pad disappears from the screen, even while pressing the numbers to dial

2.	The Voice Speed Dial icon in settings does not open the program to add voice tags

3.	The calendar items do not synch with outlook, not using Agenda Fusion or Informant 2007

4.	If Agenda Fusion or Informant are installed, the calendar does not open when selecting calendar at the bottom of today’s screen

Surely I must have done something wrong but any other program seems fine.

Please help me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] teckyiau:
try reflashing your phone

Thanks, that solved all issues.

Best thing for my XDA in a long time.

Thanks to all involved!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekryptor:
Hello. Im trying to expand a hex string in an .exe file using HxD Editor. The problem is that the parts of the string are on different locations. For example if my string is "JHGFRF" and the hex code is "46 59 86 32 45 87 56", the first part of the string "JH = 46 59" is on Offset(h): 00001570 and the next part "GF = 86 32" is at Offset(h): 00003570 and so on every part of the string is at different locations and i want to expand that string to "YDHGYHQYSHDYGFJT" for example, but i didn't know in which place exactly to add the new hex codes, coz they are all at different places.

Dont know if that makes any sense, but the source code is written in Visual Basic 6

I am kinda noob in hex editing and i hope you understand my explanation.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all!

I have been running munjeni's great Z1C_D5503_14.3.A.0.757_Generic.zip ROM for some time now and really like it, partly due to the inclusion of CM's Privacy Guard. Unfortunately, munjeni has decided to halt all development for the Z1 Compact and I wonder if anyone here knows if there are ongoing plans of porting and including the Privacy Guard in any other stock based ROMs?

Inversely, does anyone have any information about upcoming stock-level camera pic quality and working FM-radio on CM or PA based ROMs?

I've got a Huawei Ascend Y300 with stock firmware for Y300-0151. The android version is 4.1.1. The phone is NOT rooted.

I've been using the built-in "Notes" app but now have a small problem: I can't find where in storage the actual notes are kept!

I've tried using ES File Explorer to look through various folders but don't see anything. Perhaps the notes are stored in some

protected area that is accessible only if the phone is rooted? Does anyone know where/how to get to the notes?

The reason I'd like to access the notes directly is to transfer them to my PC so I can use a search function. The built-in app

doesn't have a search or even a share/transfer feature!

Are there any apps that will be able to access the notes without requiring root?
[General Questions and Answers] inaqi69:
I dont think this requires root, if this mobile has phone storage than you should look in it not in sdcard if mot than lookout the data folder as well as documents or notes folder or maybe you can change directory in app...!
[General Questions and Answers] zeroforoperator:
I've looked and looked, found nothing. So I copied over everything from the phone memory to a PC using ES File Explorer and also

with AirDroid. I then used a program called Agent Ransack to search the contents of all files for keywords I know I used in the saved notes.

Nothing turned up!

I tried searching for filenames as well, such as *.db in case the notes get stored in a database format. Still nothing.

I doubt the notes are compressed or encrypted. My buest guess is there is some protected hidden android storage that I cannot

access...and that it would require root.

Does anyone know exactly what folder and file extension the notes would be in for the Huaweii Y300?
[General Questions and Answers] wolphyde:
So no luck yet? Have the same Problem
[General Questions and Answers] massijl:
Hi,

on my Y300 notes are stored in internal memory under /data/data/com.android.notes/files if I remember, they're in SQLite format, the file is called note_pad.db.

So you need root access to copy from this folder ... I presume, you can't access browsing from the home folder.

Hope this helps

[Galaxy S 5 General] MrKickstand:
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT IS DONE IF YOU DO THIS.

First i want to start saying that i fully don't recommend this since it can mess up connectors that connect to the sim card if you do mess up. Always use the recommend size sim if you can, in the instance like me where you have to pay a fee for a new SIM, this is a viable option.

This is basically the same way you would use a Nano SIM in a Note 2 or S4. It works, the only problem i have had is sometimes if it is bumped too hard (sometimes even a gentle bump can cause it) it will knock it up into the tray and make it read like a sim card is not there and in extreme cases will get stuck in the tray and trying to get it out will cause the sim connectors to break, if this does happen ill explain how to do it without breaking the sim tray. Ill include a picture of how it is suposed to sit in the tray, ill upload pictures shortly along with a video.

1) As always make sure the device is fully off and the battery is removed.

2) Gently insert the Nano SIM into the tray making sure you have it lined up to the far right of the tray.

3) Slowly insert the SIM card into the tray making sure it stays to the right and straight until it is flush with the end of the plastic part of the SIM tray.

4) Turn on and see for your self.

(Optional) I used a small amount of masking tape and once the sim card was inserted i taped it tightly down attached to the Battery so it wont jut up or to the left when bumped.

If the Sim gets stuck just find something that is thin hard plastic, for me i used a clear plastic dixie up and cut it slightly less wide than the sim tray is and longer and slid it in under the SIM card and then used a very small sewing needle to fetch the sim card out. like i said i HIGHLY dont recommend this at all since it can break the sim tray.
