[Galaxy Note 3 General] sirobelec:
Test some AOSP ROM and tell us the results. I have a unique Nope 3 on my own, in any custom recovery wiping data/cache/system is brutally slow, takes up to 5 minutes, but flashing of ROMs and copying files over USB 3 is as fast as it should be. I posted a question about it and my Nope 3 seems to be quite unique in this and I also can't go to Samsung like "wtf TWRP and CWM wipe cache very slowly!", they'll kick me outta store before I finish the sentence. :D

So... backup whatever you have for a ROM and test an AOSP (unless your KNOX is 0x0 and you want to keep it that way).

If the speed is the same... welcome to the club of unique Notes, only yours will be more unique than mine. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dodgebizkit:
My stock note 3 is ultra fast - you must have some kind of error... Have you tried reflashing the ROM or trying a custom ROM and kernel?

Tried greenify and freezujg bloat with titanium? Those methods work for speeding up a slow phone but to be fair even when completely stock, your phone should be extremely quick.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spinedoc:
Well after the fiasco with owning an AT&T Note 3 and rooting, bootloader, etc. I'd like to not make the same mistake with the Note 4.

Which carrier Note 4 should I get for unmolested use on AT&T? Will the Verizon version have a sim card and LTE? Or is the Tmobile version better and does it have all the bands? I'm hoping either of them will have unlocked bootloader and also be unlocked from the carrier, and of course be rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cinnaC2C:
T-Mobile would be the one if you are going to get it from a carrier, however your best bet might be to get the factory unlocked version see link below.

****UPDATE**** 09/15/2014

It has been brought to my attention by another forum member that the international version of The Note 4 may not work properly with 4G Data. Please confirm before buying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ewingr:
Sigh....that's getting pretty pricey for a phone. I've been planning on getting at TMO. Not sure what I'll end up doing, but not sure I'll be putting out 900 for a phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] CZ Eddie:
T-Mo is the only one you want to get for an AT&T plan.

Stay away from SPR, VZW and all International phones.

See my sig.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] chong67:
If you got 4 carrier where you live, I would choose T-mobile. Cause its SIM and thats the world and their prices are awsome! Why pay more?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] geoff5093:
AT&T and Verizon also use SIM cards... He may want to pay more because T-Mobile has crap rural coverage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Flame Red:
I don't think that the international version will support T's LTE frequencies? You will be limited to 3G on this version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] :
Very true on TMO coverage--that's why I "had' to move to ATT

Will wait and see if the TMO one runs well on ATT, in case I want to continue to flash roms--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spinedoc:
I'm not seeing where Tmobile is really much cheaper. Comparing my plan, they are $10 cheaper total, for 2 lines. With the amount of reception I'd lose with them it's in no way worth $10/month. All this promotion that they do, when they just need to put all their money into their network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] BlockEight88:
It's not that T-Mobile's coverage is bad, its the fact that their signal goes about half as far as AT&T's if that. They also need more towers in an area to ensure good coverage. AT&T's 700/850 frequencies can travel a lot further than 1700/2100 and penetrate buildings much better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] :
I was hoping they improved from 18 months ago. Sounds like they haven't. I was half mile off I75 in a decent size town and couldn't make a business phone call. That was it for me. That was before tmo lte in my area, so maybe it is better. But, I have good lte and at least some some signal were ever I go. Not bashing anyone, it is what it is--:)

[Sony Xperia M2] Michal1994:
I have a strange problem. About week ago i bought my xperia M2, then i albo bought screen foil protector. Yesterday i saw that on my screen is small sami transparent grey point. I can see it only when i watch screen form About 30 cm, when i turn phone a little - about 10 degree i can't see it. Generally it is very hard to see it. Is it cause by screen protector, or it's a hardware problem?

PS. I can't take a picture of this, on picture it is invisible.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CannibalAngel:
Google Play.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfederighi:
In my experience this is often caused by the manufacturer and/or the model properties from the /system/build.prop file. I have found that changing things as follows makes the Kindle app happy. You will either need a build.prop editor or need to remount the /system partition as read/write (mount -w -o remount /system) and use a text editor, like DroidEdit or Jota, that allows you to open the file.

ro.product.manufacturer=Asus

ro.product.model=Nexus 7

You will need to reboot after the edit. You may also need to clear data from the App Info screen, but I've haven't found that to be needed very often.

I hope this helps.

Looks like that did the trick! Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justin20:
OK, in the middle of writing up this topic, my situation has suddenly changed. (And changed again.)

The story begins: an old AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G, still on Froyo. Put it through a factory-reset and began to fiddle with how to install Clockwork Mod recovery. So there's the guide to upload a modified 3e recovery.

I run adblinux to push the modified recovery over the stock 3e at "system/bin/recovery" -- but "system/bin" was only in read-only mode and adblinux can't run "mount" and doesn't have permission to enter shell and run "su" (or enter shell as root) and File Manager HD (with Super User privledges) can't modify read-only folder "system/bin".

I managed to find a go around by pushing the modified-recovery into the sdcard's root and going through a terminal emulator on the phone to overwrite the file... but I rebooted the phone without running "chmod" on the newly overwritten file and the Infuse bricked so bad that even the battery in off-state refused to refresh.

I understand and accept what I did should be labelled as 'idiotic', but I did manage to wait at the Samsung logo until adblinux recognized the device and eventually restored the original recovery back to "system/bin" (I also found out adblinux didn't have permission to run chmod in the "system/bin" directory).

So... A few questions before I continue:

Why did (pushing the old recovery) work? ADB initially did not recognized the phone, but then the Infuse came up as "I997ae56e13f recovery" -- why was the name now 'recovery?'

And why does running "./adblinux reboot recovery" brings back the bootloop? (In fact, I cannot enter recovery mode, so something is still wrong -- the recovery file is not 755 and I can't chmod a read-only file-system either from adb or via super-user terminal. The temp-root method times out.)

OK, now I'm going home. I'll probably still try to re-install SuperUser. Maybe that will allow adblinux to run "su" in shell, but I'm not going to try anything too extreme.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
I am curious how adblinux differs from the linux compiled version of adb. Usually it's just called adb.

Anyway, if you are using a Linux OS, and you pulled the original recovery to your PC before overwriting it, it should maintain it's permissions. Likewise, a push would set the permissions like they were on the host PC as well. They say to chmod afterward, because if you are using a windows packaged/downloaded file, or pushing with a Windows PC, the permissions could be anything in the end (rarely what you really want).

As to why the device name changes, not sure. Device names change based on the ROM installed (not always serial number), so it's not out of the question that recovery could tack on something else.

With above, problem is, even with Linux, it doesn't always line up so permissions can be influenced in a push but you may not get what you were asking for. Try chmod 755 the recovery on the local side and adb push the recovery again, after making a backup of the recovery that is there and see if it continues to bootloop.

If all else fails, as long as you have download mode, you can always use ODIN (or Heimdall) to go back to stock (albeit newer Gingerbread). Option A gives you root only, option D, root + recovery (CWM).

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justin20:
Thanks for replying!

I.. have no idea actually. I don't know how to configure Wine to properly emulate an environment for the Windows ADB and I can't get the correct phone-drivers for my WinXP system. (Kleis won't recognize the rooted phone, though if I leave the phone plugged in while installing Kleis, it will interrupt with a "Samsung Mobile Device connected" message.)

Unfortunately I can't chmod and push at the same end.

-I tried changing the permissions of recovery file on my PC, but I wouldn't be able to push it onto the "system/bin" directory in the phone.

-I tried changing the permissions on the existing "/system/bin/recovery" file, but the phone says it's a read-only filesystem.

-I tried chmod from the phone in a different directory, but I can't move the file into the "system/bin" directory (cross-device link), delete the existing recovery file (read-only filesystem), and.. why don't I have the copy command?

I thought flashing with Odin/Heimdall required access to recovery (to wipe all user data and cache folders either before or after the flash).

Without a recovery mode to boot into, won't I be sunk if things go wrong?

Also, I seem to have a different Heimdall frontend, one that doesn't have slots for PDA. It might be because I'm using an newer/older (1.3.1) edition from Ubuntu 12.04 (the official downloads page only has it for 12.10~13.04 editions of my OS), so I'm probably going to have to command-line it.

heimdall --verbose flash --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --modem modem.bin --kernel zImage

Look about right? (No partition image table from the tarball found in that forum link?)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
There is adb for Linux, I think adb is natively Linux anyway (the Windows version being the port). Don't have to worry about drivers if in Linux, due to the native support. If using Debian, Ubuntu (or any other Debian derivative), just need to run:

sudo apt-get install adb

But judging by immediately below, a different version of ADB probably won't change much.

'cp' should exist, be interesting if it did not. A different ADB could change the outcome (#1), but as pointed out before, you probably won't get the permissions you wanted in the end. Outcomes 2 and 3 would end up being the same, as the device is mounted read only.

You may get lucky with this:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw system

If root has any influence with this ADB session, it will remount your /system so you can chmod your recovery file on the device end.

My understanding is that it is completely separate, as the process will replace recovery to stock as well. But just in case, keep this one as a last resort.

I never used Heimdall, just ODIN through a WinXP Virtual Machine (only heard about Heimdall later), but when I used ODIN, I never had any problem with these generic drivers (adbsetup-1.3):

http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justin20:
Wow, I wish I took better notes last week. I had to go elsewhere and come back to this project and whatever progress I had made, I think I'm starting over from scratch.

I still can't mount/remount the system folder from anywhere (via ADB under Win/XP and Linux/Ubuntu 12.04); running "su chmod" from the phone still gives a permission denied, changing from Superuser to SuperSU didn't do anything (both programs did find the SU binary to be outdated), and adding a Busybox APK did not add a 'copy' function to my terminal emulator (on the phone) so running an ADB shell would be limited in that regard as well.

I'm going to have to take the phone to a McDonald's and attach a Google account to it. (I would have liked to have done all this offline somehow.)

How did you manage to get your virtual OS to go "online?" When I tried installing the Google device drivers that came with adbsetup, a big red "X" popped up (Install failed).

I saw that there was a Java-based ODIN, but it's Java 8.0. Should I be using a later/earlier version of Odin/Heimdall? The latest versions don't support my OS (surprising since they support the latest, 14.04, and 12.10 but not anything between or 12.04, the other big release). The existing XDA threads all use Odin/Heimdall 1.1 -- the 1.3 version I have does NOT look like that (and does not have the "PDA" options in the GUI).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Did the adbsetup binary change? I remember a DOS install process, so there shouldn't have even been a setup wizard (graphical anyway).

Anyway, to get the virtual OS to recognize, need to right click on the devices icon on the bottom status bar (at least in VirtualBox), looks like a USB drive, and select Android, or whatever pops up.

Hope this helps. Also, did the shell remount mentioned earlier have any effect (using adblinux)?

Sent from my Asus MeMO Pad 8"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justin20:
The DOS prompt process begins a driver install. From there, the Setup Wizard popped up.

Another bad sign: nothing pops up.

As for using mount/remount, the option "remount" was not found. (It would scroll down the whole list of options and switches.)

I think it's time for me to give up the ghost on fixing this issue. I still don't know how I managed to foul it up in the first place because I tried repeating it (entering the command-prompt from the phone, entering superuser, and moving files into "/system/bin") to no avail. So there is a modified 3e recovery file in "/system/bin" without the correct permissions that's preventing the phone from entering recovery mode (and slowing up the boot-up process and "battery recharge" icon when powered off), but other than that the device works, so that's something.

I still would like to try flashing the entire thing with ODIN/Heimdall if I could get either to work. (I ran the latest Heimdall, 1.4.0 32-bit, under WinXP only to find it was not a valid binary. The various Open Disk-Imager in a Nutshell (ODIN) apps out there, but nothing looks like those used on these forums (and did not include a PDA option).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
The correct version of ODIN will be packaged with whatever image you choose. Just find a windows machine lying around, install the adbsetup drivers, and flash away. Hope this helps.
