I'm a believer ! (and not the old Monkeys song)

Just got into Sao Paulo with my shinny new 8525 and nuttin worked... So, Like a good little customer, I called Cingular's International desk. Well, the nice lady there said they are having trouble with all their PDAs in Brazil and Austrailia.. Boy, isn't that the truth. Well I persisted and informed the lady there were a number of threads on google talking about a fix for it.. and it was the phones problem...

Welp, she must have believed me because she put me in touch with someone from Tech Support (Recardo I believe). She explained the situation to him and he, too, found the threads about the problems. He told me this is the first time "he" had heard about it but also took it to his manager. At that point he called HTC so the three of us could talk about it. Again, the person from HTC didn't believe it and said I must have had a bad phone..

We all know better !

The gentleman from Tech Support was really very supportive of me but they could not come up with a solution to my problem. This was a 1.5 hour phone call (oh yeah)... With no resolution.

Well, I got back to the hotel tonight and started playing with it again... I downloaded PHM Registry Editor and did a FIND on "PhoneSetting". I then did a Binary Modify... At that point, you need to change the data from "00 00 00 00" to "01 00 00 00". Click on Done and then go to your phone settings... you SHOULD see "Band" right after network. You may need to reboot to get it.

From there, click on Band. I had to click on "GSM" in the network type and then select "GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100). Then I clicked "ok". from there, it took about 1-2 minutes for the phone to register and it was immediately usable!

Thanks to ALL out here that helped find this and I DO think that Cingular and HTC will be looking at this to figure out what's the issue. (we all can guess)..

Thanks again for the help! (and thank to Recardo @ Cingular too for his pushing the issue with HTC)

I love it so far. Thinner and taller than my M7 and I forgot how much I liked WP8 when I had my 828.

DotView case is "ok" but annoying to type with since you have to fold it back. Makes me doubt its durability, but we'll see.

[General Questions and Answers] iPzard:
THE ISSUE:

-The current stock equalizer only offers options for Bass & Treble and "Lound" (Loud?.. it adds loudness). When volume is up it sounds like portion of sounds is missing (quite midrange effect)

-Currently I am not able to use any equalizer app except the one that comes stock with the ROM

-When installing equalizers, some fail to open and are forced to close; others install but simply do nothing when changing the settings

STEPS TAKEN:

Disabled stock EQ app in settings and cleared data/cache - Alternate equalizer apps still did not work

Disabled stock music player app in setting and cleared data/cache - Alternate equalizer apps still did not work

Looked for 'Settings>Sound>Music Effects' option to switch to new equalizer being used - 'Music Effects' option does not exist for this build

Attempted using music player apps with equalizers built into them - equalizer option in app doesn't show - other apps like this just don't start (they are forced to close when starting)

THE DEVICE:

-Model: SNT-210

-System Version: 4.4.2-20140516-sntb-HOMEMADE

-Kernel Version: 3.0.101-gdaab9de-dirty

QDroid@DevServer #46

-Build Number: omni_sntb-eng 4.4.2 KOT49H eng.QDroid.20140516.133512 test-keys

-Basband Version: Unknown

Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve the issue? If they would have included a good stock EQ it would be nice..

If anyone knows where I can find good custom rom(s) for this device that may also be helpful.

UPDATE - I got Poweramp working on there, equalizer and all! It doesn't sound the best, would be better if I had more options but gonna try to make due with this.
[General Questions and Answers] tobias.s:
This is a cusptech head unit right?

It is a little bit late but I got a solution for you.

They simply did a very bad job in editing their config files. Check the file audio_effects.conf in /system/vendor/etc.

Simply delete it(or move it if you like a backup). After rebooting you will be able to install any Equalizer that you want. I am using Viper4Android since a year without any problems.

But even with viper or poweramp equalizer, the sound of these units are distorted, the mesured frequency response is a joke. I could not even correct it with an external DSP.

The way I am trying now is to plug a USB DAC(like hifimediy) to the system and bypass all the sound processing crap that they have implemented on their mainboard, espcially the TM2312 chip.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Goodfolk22:
I'm new to the custom mod scene but finally really got feed up with the lag on my asus TF700T tablet. Although i made a couple of rookie mistakes, the install of Cromi-x 5.4 was fairly smooth. However, some of the appsi want to use now require a min android version 4.2.2 and Cromi-X is based on android 4.2.1. I thought i read that i can flash crombi-kk over CROMI-X, So I tried to flash Crombi-kk over Cromi-X. The flash went smoothly but when it booted, it appears to get stuck in the Crombi-kk boot animation screen. I let it sit for about 45 minutes with no change and recovered back to Cromi-X. I'm running ClockworkMod Recovery v 6.0.4.7. I think i saw another post recently that it may take up to 2 hours to build.

Was the system really stuck or was i just a bit too impatient? Can it take up to 2 hours in the boot animation screen?

I also tried to go back to the stock rom but the flash threw an error and aborted the flash process. If i need to go back to the stock rom, I will try again to get the exact error message.

[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
No it should never take 2 hours for anythings to happen..... :D

Let see what has happened and see if we can get you on the right path ....

What is your bootloader version ?

I would highly recommend installing the lastest TWRP 2.7.1.1 ......

Did you do a full wipe before installing our rom ?

That will be a good start for me to understand what is going on ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I'd be willing to put money down that you dirty flashed CROMBi-KK over CROMi-X, which you can't do since they have a different base. Well - you can, but the result would pretty much what you are seeing now.. ;)

Wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery, reflash CROMBi-KK and it'll boot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Goodfolk22:
You were correct. I went back and wiped the data and cache via recovery and then wiped the dalvik cache which I did not do before (it was barried in the advanced section). Then flashed Crombi-KK. Everything went smoothly. Thanks for your help!

P.S., what is the dalvik cache?

[Asus Transformer TF700] reubdog30:
I'm having the same issue. I've done a full wipe and I'm running TWRP 2.8.7.0 and it still gets stuck in the boot animation screen for crombi kk. My bootloader is cleanrom 3.4.7 10.4.4.25. How do you go about fix it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If that info is correct (where did you find it?) you are on JB 4.1 bootloader and trying to run a KitKat rom. That won't work my friend.

You probably should start reading from scratch here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2688891

Start with post 3: "How to update your bootloader" because that is the first thing you need to do.

Then go to to the OP for basic info about flashing a recovery and rom.

Next update your recovery to the latest TWRP 3.0.x

Then format data in TWRP, change the file system on data to f2fs and flash either KatKiss Katshmallow or CROMi-X Resurrected (read post2 of that thread). Start with KatKiss, run it a while, then try CROMi-X or vice versa.

Profit

Another question: can I flash the asus bootloader over the custom bootloader is that' possible? I have cm-11.0-20140322-CROMBikk4.4.2-tf700t_Signed.zip downloaded. Is this the right one?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I think you are confusing a rom with a bootloader! That file you mentioned is a crombi rom, not a bootloader!

You do not have a custom bootloader. It is always the Asus BL, no matter which rom you are running.

Did you check your BL version as described in post 3 of my thread?

Believe me, you want to get this right! You can mess with a lot of stuff and get away with it. But not with a bootloader!

Check your BL version and post it here exactly as you see it on the tablet.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePorter:
OK, I'm going to start by saying I know pretty much nothing about rooting and I may come across as a paranoid conspiracy nut, but here goes.

I recently bought a Note 3 on Swappa. In the description, the seller said that he had removed all of the AT&T Bloatware, but the phone was not rooted. He also stated that a system reset would restore the AT&T apps. Well, the first thing I did was a system restore, but the AT&T apps were still gone. Not that I care about the apps really, but it seemed weird.

Today, I downloaded the "Root Checker" app on the Play Store and it told me that my phone was, in fact, rooted. I also downloaded SuperU and it verified that as well. I've also gotten Titanium Backup (Root) and it shows I'm rooted.

I posted a message on my sale page at Swappa mentioning this, but the seller is adamantly denying that the phone is rooted. He says they use their "own process" to remove the bloatware.

My question in all of this is is this: Is this something I should be concerned about? The seller seems less than honest about the phone being rooted. He is a "trusted seller" which is one reason I bought from him, but I'm super paranoid that there might be something on my phone that I'm unaware of. (a keylogging app, etc...) Is there any way to tell this? How do I go about truly returning my phone back to its original state? I system reset didn't unroot it.

Any advice from people out there much more knowledgeable than me about this?

EDIT: well, I took andygev35's advice and restored back to factory. However, I enjoyed playing around with the things that being rooted allowed, so I re-did it. A huge waste of time? Maybe, but at least I have some peace of mind over the whole thing now. Thanks to everyone!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygev35:
If you're worried about anything unsavory that may be hidden on your phone, you could always restore back to factory condition using the guide and files in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2838117
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePorter:
Thanks, and holy crap - just glancing at that it looks like a total pain in the ass. This is why I never bothered to root in the first place. Do you think I'm being too paranoid? Or is is worth doing all this?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygev35:
It's actually quite simple. I know it may look overwhelming at first glance, but there's really nothing to it. Basically the easiest method is to use the all-in-one file. Just download that, put your phone in download mode, plug it into your computer, run the Odin program, place the all-in-one file in the AP slot in Odin and click start.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePorter:
OK. I may do this when I get home. Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygev35:
I agree it's probably nothing to worry about, but if he's anything like me, any doubt I have will always be there somewhere in the back of my mind nagging at me [emoji15]. Restoring wipes out any of that doubt.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XiphoneUzer:
Don't Worry, Be Happy :)

Why wouldn't anyone want access to the root files in THEIR phone ???

You have root access to your PC or Mac, why would anyone want a provider to lock down their phone making things inaccessible.

You're not renting the phone, it's Yours (always try and have root access if possible).

google up moborobo and download it, its free and gives u full access to your phone, please download it and check it out -

You will love all the stuff you can do with a rooted N3 - :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePorter:
I guess what bugs me the most is that the seller INSISTS that it wasn't rooted, when it clearly is. Its a "methinks he doth protest too much" situation. If he just owned up to it, I'd be less paranoid. If he can't be honest about the obvious, it makes me worry about the less obvious.

I've learned a little, and I'm kind of digging some of the options available now that I know its rooted. Considering spending this Saturday to restoring it back to "normal" and then maybe re-rooting it to have some of the things that I now realize I kind of want. I'm kind of worried I'm going to funk it up though... Jailbreaking seemed to be a much easier process, and harder to screw up.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Since we now have nc2 Odin files you are relatively safe in doing a restore.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andygev35:
I too am a former Jailbreaker and am so glad I jumped the fence out of Apple's walled garden. I do have to say, at least Apple readily provides the latest firmware for their devices. I can't understand why AT&T won't let Sammy publish our Odin files. As [MENTION=4992322]mrkhigh[/MENTION] stated, we DO now have the Odin files (probably gained in some nefarious manner by a sympathizing Best Buy employee), so now you can safely let the experimenting begin without worry.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
I'm curious to find out if it is actually a clone... The HDC Galaxy Note 3 is a damn good clone of the real thing and it ships rooted. They are pretty cheap and can fool almost anyone... If it is a clone, he might have been selling it to make more than he spent and didn't know it's rooted.

If it's not, it is possible that he either bought it from someone else and didn't know that it is rooted, or it is a stolen device.

I would call AT&T and give them the IMEI number to check that. Do not mention root or anything like that, just ask them to check it to see if it's flagged.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePorter:
Pretty sure it's a real AT&T - I took it to the store and had them check the IMHO when I had it activated. I finally just uprooted and flashed the 4.4.2 stock on it (I'm learning the terminology here so hope that's right) from the first post.

The guy is a trusted seller and has sold tons of phones in Swappa. He advertises on all the Samsung at&t phones that he removes the bloatware but does NOT root the phone. But, it was.

In the end, I'm happy with the phone. Seller was less than honest about his process and hopefully he didn't steal all my bank info, haha, but the phone works great.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
You have to root to remove all bloatware...

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePorter:
Yeah, I asked him about that and he said they "have their own process to remove bloatware" that does not require root".

Like I said, he was a little squirrely about it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XiphoneUzer:
Im sure its probably because he sells a lot of devices and didn't realize the one he sold had root.

Then when he talked to u he realized that u r uneducated about the subject so he thought he would bs u.

Of course one would have to have root access to remove root files.

I still don't understand why ur making such a big fuss?

If u don't feel like u lucked out, (like the rest of us do) just send the flipping thing back!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:

Why do you think he needs it? I haven't seen anything on XDA about it, other than from you. And most everything I find on google/YouTube is Arabic, Chinese and Japanese.

It seems you are trying to advert it to new users that are unknowing and willing to take advice from most anyone.

I can give 2 things right now that are the same thing and one of them does not require a full PC suite.

Excuse me but this is not an unknown app, it has been around for years and works wonderfully !!!

I have been using it since I got my N3 at thanksgiving and it works great, installs downloaded apk files in a snap, allows you easy navigation to your entire phone.Doesn't spam you. It just works great. I'm only recommending it because I have USED it for 9 months, (and you guys can't even google it?)

Since when do mods and forum gurus recommend staying away from something they have never used it, or even spent 10 secs researching ????

I was only trying to help OP out. it is a great and FREE app for rooted devices, sorry for wasting ur time OP -

(ps - I found the software while trying to transfer my contacts and sms messages from my 4s to N3, which worked perfectly and easily, (after trying other stuff). It was after that I discovered how nice it manages everything)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stryke_the_Orc:
You took my post entirely wrong. I know this application, though I have never personally used it. It has helped many people whos screens were broken to recover their files from the device. That said, if whoever you're recommending it to is unsure, has never heard of it, etc... then they should be careful downloading anything. Had I not heard of the application, and as many times as it has been suggested in this thread, then yes, I would have searched it out, torn it apart and seen how it works.

Now as a moderator, it's my job to make sure that everyone has a good experience on XDA. Whether its helping to find a solution or just making them aware that there are inherent risks involved in anything you do to your device (as is the case here), no need to be offended because I asked people to use common sense when downloading an unknown (to them) tool.

Hello guys as the title said i'm trying different apps for my camera so far i've been impressed with camera360 ultimate and the google camera (I can't decide between the two), what do you think it will be better for the Moto G? Do you know a better app? Thanks.

However it is slow for normal photography(landscape or just for fun). So in such cases I use stock moto camera or aosp camera. Google cam is also nice.

Now that I've ported the Kexecboot bootloader, I'm moving on to my ultimate goal of getting a GNU/Linux desktop distribution running on the Note. My distro of choice for ARM these days is Debian, because it works well both in a chroot on Android as well as natively booted on its own. With kexecboot, you can boot kernels off of the external SD card or even off of USB drives, so you can have Debian and Android installed simultaneously. I'm booting Debian off of my external SD, a 16GB Sandisk class 10.

TO-DO LIST:

* Creating rootfs [DONE] - Use debootstrap to create a minimal armhf rootfs of Debian testing

* Compile kernel [DONE] - Using the CM11 kernel as a base, compile a kernel with features necessary for Debian

* Booting [DONE] - Boot a kernel that loads the Debian root filesystem natively

* USB OTG [DONE] - Once booted, use USB keyboard and mouse to interact with the device

* WiFi Networking [DONE] - Automatically load the WiFi driver and connect to a wireless network at boot, enabling remote access

* Basic Video [DONE] - Load an X server to display graphical applications on the display

* 3D Acceleration [WIP] - Use the Freedreno driver to accelerate GLES and GL 3D applications

* Screen rotation [TODO] - Figure out if Freedreno can rotate the screen to landscape mode

* Video Acceleration [TODO] - Use the MSM video decoder to accelerate video playback

* Audio [WIP] - Write an ALSA UCM configuration file to map the correct mixer channels to get sound out of internal speaker and/or headphones

* Touch and Pen [WIP] - Pen input seems to work, but touchscreen isn't being detected by X

* Bluetooth [WIP] - I can initialize and scan, but was unable to pair and hold a connection. Useful for keyboard and mouse while charging/externally powering device.

* Mobile Radio [TODO] - Make use of the mobile connection for data, possibly calls if anyone wants to take a shot. I'm not going to work on this.

* Package for release [TODO] - Build a fresh rootfs free of my development changes, copy any necessary stuff, package, and upload.

I plan on developing this simultaneously for the Note i717, Note 3 (N900T), and HP TouchPad as I have all three of these and I should be able to get supported kernels working for all three as well. I'll post pictures as I go, right now I'm still mostly working from an SSH shell over WiFi.
