[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro_123:
Hello XDA :)

So my dad bought a Note 3 SM-N900 and we haven't been able to connect it to the PC at all. The phone is completely stock with all possible updates applied.

Things we've tried.

4 different PCs ,at least 15 different USB ports, 5 different USB cables

When the USB cable is plugged in the phone charges and that's it. No notification in statusbar saying USB connected. Have installed KIES, reinstalled it, installed USB drivers from Samsung's site and from a zip.

NOTHING we've done could show us the USB mount menu thing. I have 3 other phones and have tested many different combinations of phones, USB ports and USB cables. Every single one of them worked except for the note 3. I've also tried enabling USB debugging and nothing still

Have bought a USB 3 cable (genuine Samsung) and tried that, still NOTHING

Very annoyed at this. I have quite a bit of experience with other phones, especially Samsung ones and this is the first time I've ever seen something like this happen.

Kernel Issue. Use different Kernel
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro_123:
[MENTION=4603139]Dizy801[/MENTION] Sorry it's completely stock. I don't see why this function shouldn't work. I don't want to root/custom ROM/kernel it so soon.

I'm assuming you tried a factory reset?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Can you dial the secret code *#0808# and show the result?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro_123:
[MENTION=3264549]ShadowLea[/MENTION] thanks for the suggestion but i've just set it up and don't want to factory reset yet. Will do it if nothing works I guess [MENTION=2018502]vndnguyen[/MENTION] It shows USBsettings. USB-AP and USB settings - MTP + ADB
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
This may be the problem with the connector on your Note3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro_123:
Thanks mate but that's my last resort. I think it's a problem with software. I want to try and solve it within the week. If not then going to send it in to Samsung and see what they have to say :/
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro_123:
So the phone detects the PC when in ODIN mode so I guess it's safe to say that the hardware is NOT at fault (Y)

Does anyone know what's going on :/ quite annoying haha
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Ok, in this case try flashing another stock firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dizy801:
Have you tried installed intel's drivers for USB 3.0 instead of using microsoft? It got all my other phones working although it didnt have a problem with my Note 3

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pego99:
When I receive a call the phone display shows a small picture inside a larger blurred picture. I can't figure out how to just get one large in focus picture.

Anyone know how to fix this? Example attached.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] putney1477:
Mine does this too. But I just thought that it was normal.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangerousjenny:
It is normal. That's what this phone does
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sainthooligan:
I'm not sure it's "normal", mine's not doing that and I'm on stock. I don't recall it doing that before the latest 4.4 update either. Mine only shows the caller's large picture and that's it. The only time I see the thumbnail of the caller is if go to another screen while in a call, but never while in a call & ON the call after. Are you stock & which version are you on?

Sent from my sending device that's my primary sender for sending.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pego99:
Yes stock NCG rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sainthooligan:
Could be specific to the earlier version then. I don't recall it being that way on NE9. NHA or NI2 do not have it displayed that way.

Sent from my sending device that's my primary sender for sending.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c4manceph:
My stock NI2 looks the same.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sainthooligan:
Looks the same as which?

Attached is what I'm seeing on stock NI2...only 1 image in the phone screen area.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blulite:
You need to edit the contact and "refresh/save" the image for the person. At some point Google changed the size of the image, so you only have the thumbnail saved. I've been doing it along the way as folks call me, so at this point I've got most of my 3000 contacts with thumbnails and about 100 converted.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sainthooligan:
eI recall you used to have to create a phone contact with a hi res picture and link it to a similar Google contact to get hi res contact photos because of Google not saving a hi res image.That was some time ago,though.

But before they waste their time doing anything with the contacts, I don't think that's the issue they're referring to here.

I noticed after sending my screen shot, on occasion the thumbnail would remain and never show - just like the OP screenshot. However, for those 3 times, my call timer wouldn't kick in and would still only show "dialing" even though the call was put through. Nothing to do with image resolution. Some kind of bug is all, at least in my opinion.

99% of the time my calls show as expected like my screenshot I posted. It's only been the 3 times in the last few weeks that it had occurred that the thumbnail never changed to "fullscreen" on the dialer.

[T-Mobile LG G3] mrmondaynight:
Back story

Joined T-mobile back in August & picked up the g3

After 12 days, the phone started to overheat pretty bad & was shutting itself down. Went into a T-mobile location the next day & they swapped it out for a new device. Phone was stock rooted, btw.

2nd device had headphone jack issues. Music was barely audible with the volume at maximum. Volume even sucked with my FIIO e6 amp. Also stock rooted.

Called and spoke to a rep. We chatted about devices & since I came from a note 2, he recommended I get the note 4. It was a bit too early for him to process the order since they didn't have all the info about the device yet(pricing, availability, etc)

He then told me to contact them in 14 days & they would have no issues swapping out the g3 for the note 4 at no charge. Since I am in the JUMP program, I am eligible for a swap out & since this would be my 2nd defective device, the $330 dollar down payment I put down would be transferred to the new device.

After speaking to them today, I was told none of that is true. My only option is a THIRD g3 or put down $414 for the note 4 as a downpayment. Apparently the $330 I handed over to them means absolutely **** since now they want more money. I told them to just send me another g3 since i really hate not being able to listen to music.

Did I shoot myself in the foot having them process the order for a new g3?

What are my options at this point?
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
You should of gone to store to process the order. That is where the mistake was. Now they have you. Sorry. Keep calling and complaining.

BAD ASS G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] CheesyNutz:
Oops quoted the wrong person

Yep and any time you chat with someone try and do it in chat and not on the phone and have the transcripts emailed to you
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
No biggie he gets the point.

BAD ASS G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] CheesyNutz:
Yep
[T-Mobile LG G3] bradbutter:
i work for t-mobile ... the jump program is like leasing with an option to buy. ... i have no idea why he would tell u he would swap out a g3 for a note 4 thats not even out yet at no charge when the pricing and device are totally different. I could understand if he offered u a glfex or something. But thats how the jump works ...whatever u paid already u lose ... but whatever u owe left .. u dont have to pay .. u just trade the phone in and put a down payment on the new phone. The 414 u have to put down is because of your credit history .. some people qualify for $0 down where u walk out with the device paying only taxes and they split the device price on your bill. ....

but i work in store and we always have problems with what customer care tells people and whats actual policy. For future reference always go in the store with questions unless its about billing. The cust care barely know anything about devices so if u do call ask to speak to the tech department.
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
Either way he can't jump till 6 months after. So he is screwed unless you want to create holy hell and disconnect and they send you to retention people who will move the world for you.

BAD ASS G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] stevessvt:
On the newer Jump plan the moment you have 50% paid off you can jump, be that 1 day past the 14 day return policy, or 8 months. The original Jump you had to wait 6 months. He can jump right now if he wants since he paid $330 up front on a $598 phone. He was told basically they would credit him back the $330 (basically a refund if within the first 14 days, usually minus a $50 restocking fee) after the 14 days was up. He trusted them, which unfortunately was his first mistake. His second was also believing the Note 4 would be the same price as the G3. The Note 3 was $730 when it debut last year.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mrmondaynight:
Well, now I know to only go in store or chat with customer care online.

In store, The rep told me I can opt for a different phone once half is paid off. She did say I would have to put down a down payment or just pay taxes depending on how soon i switch & the phone I plan to switch to.

When I spoke to customer care, the gentleman told me they would transfer over my $330 dollar down payment from g3 to note 4 considering I've had 2 defective devices. Had he just been honest & told me there is no way I'm getting into a note 4 without putting something down, i would be totally fine with things.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Toneman07:
Not necessarily. Jump 1 requires 6 months for the first jump. After your first jump you can jump 1 more time within the next twelve months. If his G3 was his first jump he could upgrade the next day to a different phone.

Jump 2 requires half the device paid for. If he put $330 down he has paid for half the device and can upgrade the next day.

I have a combination of Jump 1 and Jump 2 on my plan so I can upgrade different devices at different points lol

Retention Department doesn't always help. One benefit is the calls are all recorded. If you know the name and time of the agent you spoke with, you can usually have them pull the call and see what was said. (no they will not let you listen to the call). More than likely, they will just continue to swap your phone. I am not sure if TMOBILE has something like this but I know when I was with verizon after so many warranty swaps they ended up upgrading me due to the issues I was having. This would be something to look into on the customer retention side. What I have learned is TMobile only likes to look at the larger accounts. When it was just me and my wife having phone trouble no one cared. Now that I have 12 lines all with an EIP they like to give me free stuff. This is the only down side I have noticed with them.
[T-Mobile LG G3] cpackar:
First off, I work in customer care. We wouldn't ever offer a GFlex in replace of the G3. We don't currently have those anymore. Every single department has those people who don't know what they're talking about. Trust me, I get at least 5-10 calls a day with people complaining about Retail doing stuff incorrectly or just pawning customers off on us because they did something wrong or they're not going to get anything out of the customer because you guys are based off commission.

BUT..Once again, both fields have people who don't know what they're talking about.

But OP, I'm not gonna lie, You pretty much have no choice but to do an upgrade or hope to god your replacement device works. Personally I think it's bull**** that the devices that are refurbed have a lot of problems. I've noticed that quite a bit and there's nothing Retail nor us in Customer Care can do about that or we would because It really bugs the **** out of us that a repair center can't do their job correctly and just make a device work and let it all fall back on us if something happens such as your situation.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

There's actually two versions of JUMP.

JUMP!: Give you the ability to upgrade after 6 months of having the device no matter how much you owe.

JUMP! 2: Gives you the ability to upgrade your phone after you paid off 50% of your phone.

So OP depending on which one you have, there's also your options.
[T-Mobile LG G3] CheesyNutz:
lol i work in retail ... sadly and i can say the same for CSR for carriers i get just as many people in to my phone center that have been "pawned" off on us too
[T-Mobile LG G3] cpackar:
It goes both ways, I know. I was just saying.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Uttrader:
How would you know what version of jump you are on?
[T-Mobile LG G3] cpackar:
Call in or go to T-Mobile.com and check your plan or look at your bill. It'll tell you.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Tidbits:
Upgrade TWICE per year after the first initial 6 months(This doesn't happen anymore once it's completed) has been done. I can't jump on my line until Jan 18 2015(year resets). I never had to wait 6 months between my two jumps. I did have to wait 1 month to have the EIP show up before I could jump the second time.

Jump! 2 is just as you said.
[T-Mobile LG G3] cpackar:
Did you do that in retail? Lol
[T-Mobile LG G3] Tidbits:
The first jump I did it through retail.

iPhone 5 to Z1S to HTC One.

I can't jump until the Z1S release date. +1 year. So January 2015 sometime.
[T-Mobile LG G3] cpackar:
Weird. Normally it won't let you haha. Thats cool tho. I couldn't jump so i added a line got the g3 and gave my mom the s5 as a birthday present haha
[T-Mobile LG G3] Tidbits:
I noticed that if the EIP doesn't show up you can't jump. Stop technically it's a billing cycle between jumps. I noticed that with my other line when jumping out of the Z1S to the Flex I had wait until the EIP to show up.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabolito:
Hi

This problem is more related with root detection by apps, but since I have a oneplus one, I have posted here.

Super ecran is an app of the french superchannel movies, here in canda (quebec) and I try to run it on my oneplus one (stock+rooted) it says that it detect that the phone has been ''changed'' and does not allow me to go further and watch movies.

1) is it a rooted problem ?

2) is it a cm detection problem ? No, I tried on nexus 5 stock+rooted, same problem...

3) is there a way to make it work (turnaround) ? I saw on google play the app ''hide root'' but the link seems to be broken and I didn't get it.

If someone have clue about this, please let me now. Thank you.

the app is exactly named ''Super Écran GO''.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] EcX-Force:
Anything you do to your device is under your discretion, I won't be held responsible for what ever happens there of.

This quick fix was found in my attempt to fix my brothers Note II.

What you need:

Odin v3.0.7 - Must know the basics

TWRP Latest for Sprint SPH-L900 - ( To use builtin Terminal Command mode )

Go to https //goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltespr/ < add : to go to the link, make sure you get the latest version.

Boot into download mode and open Odin, click PDA and flash TWRP.

Boot into TWRP Recovery select Advanced, then Terminal Command, it'll ask for the main directory to use default is '/' leave it there and hit select.

To find the mount point for /efs type in this command: cat /etc/fstab

Look for /efs and the mount point will be to the left of it, ours was: /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ( the l is L )

Now what is needed to be done is a simple command to recreate the ext4 filesystem, make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

If you need to check if it works is by mounting your /efs folder with: mount -f ext4 /efs

No error should be displayed and the folder should be mounted, lets unmount: umount /efs

Reboot back to download mode use your stock firmware for your SPH-L900 let it go through and you should have a bootable /efs, so stock will restore it.

Any other questions just send me a PM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Actually if you have the aroma file manager you can use any recovery. There is a terminal built into it. Also you can flash any recovery through your current recovery if you already have a custom recovery installed. Well enough of the bs. Thanks for posting your fix. I am sure it will help others fix this same issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevohero:
Yeah but in our case we could only go into download mode and recovery. It wouldn't boot past the Samsung logo because the efs wouldn't mount. It took a couple hours to get it done but this is what worked "quick fix" is what worked on my device.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SkierHiker:
I'm looking for a way to progamatically set a bluetooth headset to use the wireless stereo profile using the .Net Compact Framework. I have contacted Peter Foot over at 32feet.net and he has added it to his wishlist for OpenNetCF. But in the meantime if anyone can help with this I would be appreciated.

I'm using the Toronado A2DP hack for my Apache and it works fairly well but everytime I turn on my headset, I have to go to the bluetooth settings and manually set it to use the wireless stereo profile. This is becoming quite dangerous while driving because it's not possible to do with the navigation keys (you must perform a press and hold).

On a completely different side note, if anyone knows how to perform a "press and hold" with the navigation keys, at least I may reduce my chances of wrecking my car.

Thanks - Mark.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mythozz:
The same thing happens with Jabra BT620s... I need to do the whole procedure which is quite long...

If anyone could make a simple click solution that would be great...!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
A quick question: doesn't long pressing the play / pause button work?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SkierHiker:
No, it doesn't. The Play/Pause button acts like a single tap so it takes you to the edit screen.

I think I errored on my nomenclature. It's 'tap and hold', not 'press and hold', sorry.

Now, I'm a .Net developer so I need a managed code api to make this work for me, but if there are any CE Bluetooth wizards out there who could build a simple app where we enter and save the device name and you then set the device to use the wireless stereo profile, that would work too. I know there are lots of people who would love to be able to single click (or auto start) their bt stereo headsets. With this in mind, I actually have two different headsets that I switch back and forth so this app would need to handle multiple headsets (maybe just multiple instances of the app?).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mythozz:
No it doesn't. All we need to do is to simulate the action "Set As Wireless Stereo" through a program... Then with a simple click to set our headset as wireless stereo. I know it seems quite simple in my mind, but it isn't I guess...

SkierHiker I hope you can make it my friend...
