[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofsmallface:
Hi there, apologies if this is a silly question. I'm not an expert by any means, just a guy who follows the directions given on helpful sites like this.

I recently flashed the Slimkat ROM onto my n7100 for various reasons. But when I did, I obviously didn't completely wipe everything (which is what I intended).

Because for example, I installed a couple games on there and found that my game-saves were still there, also there were some bits on the obb folder from apps that I had on my phone previously but haven't installed since flashing the new ROM.

Why is this? Did I maybe miss a step when flashing the ROM? I know I did the 'wipe and restore factory settings' part in CWM, but I'm not 100% if I did the part with wiping the dalvik and cache etc.

Would that be the reason?

And If I want to give my phone a completely clean wipe what's the best way to do that now? Would I have to go through the steps as if I were flashing the ROM all over again? Or could I just go into recovery mode and wipe the dalvik, cache, system, data etc and reboot?

P.S. Yes, I know that no one who gives advice is responsible if I brick my phone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
wipe cache + factory reset and dalvik cache. you should be ok. Also don't wipe system.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofsmallface:
Just a follow up - I did a wipe + factory reset, wiped cache partition, wiped davlik cache, and was surprised to find I still had leftovers on my phone. For example I had some episodes of a tv show in my downloads folder and also there was still app leftovers in the obb folder. Meh... I'll just delete stuff manually.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
Well, you will have to flash stock recovery then. after that, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. This will erase everything on internal SD card. I assume u have backed up EFS and other important stuff.

press thumbs up if u find this suggestion helpful.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofsmallface:
By the way, I sort of overlooked the obvious - in the end I just did a factory wipe and reset from inside Slimkat i.e. not via recovery mode.

And that did the job fine. Cleaned up several gigs worth of clutter which apps like SD Maid seemed to have skipped over as well.

Hello,

i have a Samsung S3 right now with CM11 nightly. It is pretty good and stable. Drivers are not perfect. Expecially camera drivers.

I would like to buy a new device. I have waited for N6 and unfortunally it is too big, too thick e too expensive. So I am thinking to buy a Oneplus One.

I have read around about touchscreen issue. It is fixed ? Drivers in Cyanogen are stable ?

I want a stable phone for daily use. It is ok to test new rom o new kernel sometimes, but i need a stable phone to work with.

What you think ? Should i buy one ?

Thank you !
[ONE General] dragoi90:
I have the OPO and its been over 2 month i'm using it!The phone is great and so are the drivers!No touchscreen issues for me!I use multi rom to test new rooms!I think you should go with the oneplus!
[ONE General] playya:
I think before making a new thread for a question thats been asked a million times before and an answer that only you can answer you should search for what others have said. Here are only a few I found real quick that can help you out. Lets be honest as well you are asking about rooting your phone and will it be stable. You can read up on any rom you like and find out if its stable but honestly there all based off of cm which is quite stable at this moment. If you are worried stay stock.

First link stock rooted where I would go to ask or rather read up to see just how stable the stock rom is... At least its a starting point. My bad if you think I am being an ass but your question is slightly subjective and all your answers are out there for you. Again my bad

OnePlus One fits a niche crowd, people who like to tinker with their devices and want a true powerhouse to take advantage of. There is also a subset of users that would want a pure-ish Android experience with a customizable interface minus the fluff that comes with a skinned interface like TouchWiz or Sense.

As it stands, I like CyanogenMod without any further tweaks. The phone runs well and doesn't give me many issues to worry about. (Note: no phone is perfect)
[ONE General] fireforhire:
If you need mhl, hell no. Otherwise it's the best phone out right now...
[ONE General] scabbie1980:
If you haven't got a phone yet. Then just wait and see how the nexus 6 going to be, then make a decision
[ONE General] dr.m0x:
Yes though it depends on budget as well I guess. Dollar for dollar I think the OnePlus is still a better buy, however if it's within budget the nexus 6 is clearly the better phone overall.

Mmm bacon
[ONE General] alfredolo:
Thnk you all for reply.

I have readed a lot about OPO. I dont like N6, it is big, fat, heavy and expencive. I prefere a 5.5 inc display.

The main problem about OPO are the yellow band and touchscreen issue, that are not resolved with 38R.

I will wait till that problems will be resolved, later i will buy one.

Thank you all !
[ONE General] risay07:
Its definitely the best smartphone for its price range right now. I have been using it over two month now and i did not have any issue.

Before i bought it, i too was worried about the yellow band problem. But until now I never get the yellow band or touch screen problem.

OnePlus One is perfectly fine and great performance. After i got this phone i immediately try antutu benchmark and suprised that it got the first ranking. That is something to brag to your friends.

As for the rom, CM11S is really stable for daily use and i did not have any problems with it. Great multitasking, smooth gaming, nice camera performance, great speaker quality and great battery life. Plus i heard that they are working to release Android L update for OPO. Cant wait for that. Even if you still want custom rom, most of them that i tried are stable for daily use.
[ONE General] scabbie1980:
It also depend on how long you're going to keep this phone also. I get at lease 2 phones a year. I have the oneplus one and it always seem like I go back to the Note 3.... But the nexus 6 will be a phone you can keep for another year
[ONE General] playya:
Ok if you have read then you also know that not everyone has these issues and the touchscreen issue was software related and those on 38r saying they still have an issue could be user error or faulty devices. Now lets be honest 1+ has sold quite a few devices and I know of at least half a dozen people with them. With that being said I am the only one with yellow banding and its barely noticeable and since the update no one has the touchscreen issue.

Why do so many allow the voices of the few decide for them. At the end of the day it is your decision and if you have done your research then YOU are making the best choice for you....
[ONE General] iRhyiku:
I've had the s3 and was running cm11 with oneplus mods on it and I can say it doesn't compare.

This phone is ridiculous, it amazingly fast and I have had no problems.

I ordered mine on Saturday and it came yesterday so I've only had a day with it so far but I'm so impressed, would recommend to anyone.

I had a G3, Note3, Z2 and this OPO It's the most incredible smartphone. And the feature that we can unlock bootloader and not lose the warranty is the best!

The G3 was the 16Gb (2GB ram) or 32GB (3GB ram) version?

I'm thinking of buying the oneplus 64GB or the G3 32GB, but i really can't choose which one...

[ONE General] toanau:
This phone should of been the new Nexus 6. Tons of development here

SlimKat or SlimPop
[ONE General] ole12:
As someone who was in love with my previous phone, nexus 5. The OnePlus is the best phone at market price-wise. If it was priced in the same range as N5 or N6, I would definitely chose a N phone. Software-wise it is kinda buggy (both cm11 and cm11s) and hardware-wise (touchscreen and yellow screen)

I would wait until n6, and then make a choice, because the n6 isn't that much bigger then the OnePlusOne, but damn expensive.

I think I will sell my OnePlusOne when the n6 hit the market, cause I really miss the wireless charging.

This phone is he great, had mine for three months. Everything is stable and smooth. The battery life is crazy good on it. Cm11s or cm m releases I have no issues
[ONE General] jcasares:
I just moved from a Galaxy S4 (9505) as I grew tired of the bugs I had with CM11 and weren't fixed in more than a year. Not only that... but it become much more unstable after a kernel change they did to CM11 on GS4 a couple of months ago.

My first opinion isn't so good. I'm plagued with touch issues. Both with screen and hardware buttons. I also had a hang (requiring a hard reboot) while playing a video on MX Player that happened only once in one and a half year with the GS4. Not good for the first 24hs of use.

The phone is big, a little above my limit I would say. I can't handle it with just one hand anymore, but I can live with that. What I can't stand is the random failures of the touch interface. I'm trying to figure out if it's the change of size and placement of buttons but reading all over the web it seems it's a software/hardware issue. If it's finally that and it's not fixed soon I will start looking for another phone for sure.

It also has the yellow tint on the lower part of the screen but it doesn't bother me much. It's visible mostly at night on white backgrounds and seems that it should go with extended use.

Being said this, it is a good phone for the price. A shame that it has some big issues that weren't ironed out in the many months the product is in the market. IMO, it seems they won't be fixed and that would be a shame. Of course, some people are happy. They are not that demanding or their usage scenario isn't hit by these issues.
[ONE General] gsmyth:
Did you get yours from Oneplus directly? What's your build date?

What Rom are you running on it, have your touch issues still not fixed after the latest CM update that was supposed to fix them?
[ONE General] jcasares:
Yes, directly from them. I got it at the end of July but because of issues with the delivery I finally got it at my place just yesterday. Where do you get the build date?

I updated to 38R of CM11S and don't want to move to CM11. The problems still remain.
[ONE General] gsmyth:
Bummer dude, think there's a build date on the box somewhere, I've seen other people have build dates in Aug/sep and they didn't seem to have issues. Perhaps they have ironed out a few of the flaws they had initially. What about requesting an RMA? Surely you'd still be under warranty, worth a shot at trying to get it returned? From what I've read you have to be persistent and not give up to get anywhere with them.
[ONE General] jcasares:
Well, the RMA would be a real pain in the a** as I'm in the other part of the world (Argentina). I bought it through a friend living in USA.

So it's hopping it's fixed, living with it or moving to another phone. The selection here is not as good as on USA as you might realize. :P

Thanks anyway for the tips.
[ONE General] jackpollard:
Like a lot of folks I was a solid Nexus user, I waited and waited for the N6 and I was personally disappointed with the price. Even if its worth that price, its too much for me. I don't want to pay 1 dime more to a carrier so I grabbed the OPO and have been extremely happy. I've not had any of the common issues most speak to, I feel there pain, when the N5 came out it has some screen and sound issues, I returned mine and never had an issue again. So, tactilely the OPO feels great, I like the size and the sandstone back. The speed and smoothness are excellent, the battery life, for me, is remarkable. N5 I suffered to get 2 2.5 hours SOT, I had Francos, Greenify, etc. I'm looking at 2.5 hours SOT and have 53% left!!! For me, thats extraordinary. I will miss having Lollipop flashed the second it comes out, I will wait for CM and I do love the Nexus line, but, for me, this phone covers all my bases. I also bought the Samsung charger and I wondered why the back of my N5 was getting hot when it charged, I read that using the inductive charger heated up the battery and wore it out faster. I stopped using it, so that was also a non issue.

Oneplus one

Hi,

I was using a Sony Z ultra since July, and a Note II before that. The Sony Z Ultra is an awesome phone, however the size was unwieldy at times.

I received an invite to purchase earlier this month, so I ordered the 64gb version. I scoured the forums, and actually regretted ordering the phone given numerous complaints about the touch screen, yellow banding, etc.

Then I read somewhere, there is a 14 day return policy, NO QUESTIONS asked, just pay for shipping.

I gave it a test run, and since have not been able to put it down. The Sony Z Ultra will probably go to the popular auction site.

To my surprise, it's been rock stable. No touch screen ghosting, yellow banding or anything. I was just so worried. I'm glad I took the chance. By the way, my build date was 8.11.14. My brother ordered one also, after I did. He received a build date in 9.14. He says it has been bug free as well.

I think all the kinks have been worked out.

It is like an upgraded Note II or a Note III without the pen.......and DIRT CHEAP.

Cyanogen has been awesome. My only complaint is when I'm on the home screen and hit the menu button, it jumps to the modify page theme screen instead of the recent app screen. When I change it to recent app in settings, and use say chrome or rebox and hit menu, I get recent app instead of open/close.................

Anyways, I digress........

It is a risk free 14 day policy.

Try it. You are gonna love it. I give it my HIGHEST recommendation.

If not send it back, no questions asked.

Make sure you get a recent build date from at least 8.14 (this is on the actual red box)

Let us know how it turns out.
[ONE General] djbenny1:
if signal is important to you, you might want to think twice at this point.

a lot of people are having mobile signal problems, myself included. not known if cause is hardware or software.

that's the only drawback of this otherwise great phone.
[ONE General] Jequan:
I just switched from a Nexus 4 with PA ROM to the OPO.

I can reccomend this phone to anyone. It is very large wichg is the only downside but that is all up to personal preference since it is an upside for webbrowsing as well.

It still fits into my pocket but only just.

The phone did not force close a single app since i own it and it did not crash at all.

It has a very good battery as well. No smartphone i ever owned had such a good battery life.

It just works as it should i did not root it or change the ROM so far. Something i allways do usually but i don't see why i should with the OPO since it allready works as it should thanks to a very good optimised CM ROM.

The only comparable phones from a price-performance view are the lumia windows phones in my opinion.

I was one of those guys that had massive multitouch issues. I rma'd the device, got a new one and sure enough, it got issues as well. Updated to the latest and can say while not perfect its 99%. You can now type a long text and not end up with a wall of text that makes you feel like a retard. Multitouch is much better, zooming used to be awful if your phone was standing on a pillow or something. It doesn't exibit flaws now. If i had to nitpick, my s3 with archidroid 2.x still feels more sensitive, but just sightly. The battery alone is enough to outweight everything else by far. My phone easily lasts 2 days with moderate to slightly heavy use. Im standing here with 21% at the end of my second day.

If you can put up with its size, its an awesome phone. All i did was root it for adaway purposes. Cm11s works great out of the box but also has plenty of customization if you roll that way.

For its price point i can only recommend it.

[ONE General] Spitfire:
I was lucky enough to get a phone with no issues and it's an incredible value. Exactly what I would expect of a nexus, which I have always gotten until the expensive 6 was unveiled. To me CM is regular android with more controls. You can make it look bone stock if you want (which I did, other than using the % battery icon). If you can handle the possibility of having to do an RMA (realistically that can happen with any phone), this is a good one.

Just got mine after I had one bought for my girlfriend. I managed to get a second invite and couldn't resist ordering one. Don't know if I'll keep it though. My girlfriends phone had serious touchscreen issues that were barely fixed with the 38R update. Google maps were unusable. My main complaint though is the games performance :)

On a simple game like subway surfers the phone just can't get a stable frame rate which is really disturbing.

Was thinking to buy the Xiaomi Mi3, but saw that the price was close enough for the OPO and so am very, very tempted by the OPO's enhanced spec and CM onboard from day 1.

Truth be told I'm still unsure: I want a device with good build quality (ie no glaring shortcuts in manufacturing, little concerned by the yellow line issue people have mentioned, but this seems to be less of an issue for newer models?) and good software, either from company or 3rd party ROMS. Both phones seem to have a good support community on here :good:

The size of the OPO is a good thing and a bad thing for me; like that it's more conducive to reading, but have a picture in my head of Dom Joly's Trigger Happy TV mobile phone sketch (UK reference).

Ah well, guess I've some thinking to do...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstatt:
I am not too impressed with the earpiece quality on the Note 4 I have here. I suspect it may be marginally faulty.

When the volume is reasonable loud (such as one or two clicks down from the top), if the person talking has quite a resonant voice, the sound is a bit rattly. I can still make out everything perfectly clearly, but it bugs me a bit.

I was curious how others found the earpiece quality on theirs?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
agree. not the best i have seen. S5 sounds much better and fuller.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saaduk:
Same issue here. Iphome sounds much better. I swapped the sim cars and called the same person to check the sound.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saaduk:
One thing I have noticed is that if I play a song or a voice clip through the earpiece, it's crystal clear. It's only the phone call that's making the issue.

How can you play a song through the earpiece?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saaduk:

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

BTW I think I have solved the issue. The call sound settings checked clear sound.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATnTdude:
The problem with call quality as is that it might be the earpiece, the voice decoder, baseband/antenna, the network, or any (or all) of the above for the person on the other network. If the other person's phone is having an issue encoding the call, yes, it could affect your phone when it decodes.

If you're going to make test calls, call a landline.

Also, go through the call settings in the phone app on your Note 4. The noise cancelling options WILL affect the voice quality, as will the post processing (There's a personalize call sound option with several options)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mexy:
Same here.
