[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo738:
Note: Does not have an insane chip

Hello All,

I wonder if you can help. For the last 4months I’ve been having issues with my Note 2. It freezes at seemingly random times & requires a restart. Occasionally the LED will continue to flash even though I can’t get the screen to reactivate/ respond. The freezing does occur when the phone is not moved (i.e. unlikely to be a battery terminal contact issue).

The freezing occurs in the following modes:

Normal/ standard use

Safe mode

Charging mode (i.e. phone switched off & then plugged into charger)

It has occurred in the following software configurations:

v4.3 (rooted)

v4.4 (not rooted)

v4.4 (rooted)

I’ve tries the usual:

Clearing the cache (via the recovery option)

Doing a factory reset

Checking for an ‘insane’ chip

& also:

2 different batteries.

I haven’t tried:

Upgrading the ‘radio’

I have to at this point suspect that is a hardware issue because software upgrades/ resets have not helped (unless a separate update for the radio could solve the problem).

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks,

Leo

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grwalker:
Note 2 freezing

Yes i have see the problem but no solutions as yet. My chip is VTU00M, 0xf7 so that is OK.

My problem began a few days ago when i upgraded the existing 4.3 firmware with an OTA 4.3 upgrade that contained Kies (or so the upgrade said). Prior that the 4.3 upgrade all was fine. Maybe this was a coincidence. I then upgraded to 4.4.2 (using ODIN and downloading from Sammoible) since Kies said the 4.3 firmware was the latest for my phone (GT-N7100). However the freezing problem still remains.

I have noticed that the phone stops about an 1 hour and 40 minutes after the screen goes off. I have attached some info regarding the timing of the freezing. I got these graphs using GSam Battery Monitor

I can get the phone running again by holding the power button until the Samsung logo appears, or pull the battery.

I have not seen phone reboot. Phone is not rooted, never has been.

It would be great to know what is going on

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo738:
I was considering opening up the phone to try & fix it but not sure it's worth the risk. My best guess is that a fall has caused some damage but finding it will be very difficult I think. Selling 'as is' might be best move.

I already solved this myself but I thought I would post this anyways in case somebody runs into the same issue.

I experienced a weird background static noise during playback. It happened only during playback of a song and across all headphones we own.

To fix this go into the poweramp settings>audio engine>advanced settings (tweaks) and disable Direct Volume Control

Tadaa! Clear audio!

[Sony Xperia M2] ReznorNInchNails:
Man, you got two answers above, so answer is that it is very unlikely to happen.

Following other Xperia models and lines, even older Sony Ericsson phones, that are not flagships like Xperia Z series you get one major upgrade to higher version (in our case Jelly Bean to Kitkat), and that's it.

It is not just Sony. Galaxy S3 is stuck at 4.3 even it was flagship, but Sony seemed really slowest comparing to competition, when it comes to software updates. We still have 4.4.2 and LG's midrange G2 Mini was launched with Kitkat and M2 with Jelly Bean, same year.

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get a VPN connection working properly with t-mobile web'n'walk? I suspect this wont work as all t-mobile connections are sent through a transparent proxy but I just thought I'd check. I remember reading on the Internet that they have a different GPRS access point for VPN connections but they won't give me access unless I'm a business customer. Has anyone managed to get this provisioned on their account? It seems a bit of a con to sell phones that are capable of VPN access and then to tell their customers they can't use it. Does anyone know if the web'n'walk pro service give it's users a public routeable IP address?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
Can't imagine they do... Read a figure of 2,500,000 3G phones sold as opposed to the expectation of a few hundred thousand on a MoDaCo thread... I just don't think they'd have the available ipblocks, even though they're given connectivity by the Deutche Telecom aspect of their business... Doesn't seem feasible.

Surely if you initiate a VPN from your phone to a server, the transparent proxy will know to route any incoming responses back to your device?

[IMG="Android Lollypop & Kitkat multiboot"]http://i60.tinypic.com/2q0t0sn.png[/IMG]​

Since Xposed framework will take a while to arrive on ART/Lollipop, I wasn't ready to upgrade to Lollipop. But I needed Lollipop for development related to API 21, so tried to multi boot stock Lollypop ROM with Kitkat 4.4.4 and everything works as it should.

Demo :

[YOUTUBE]h9cL0NGx99M[/YOUTUBE]​

Note: I mention as 4.4.3 in the video initially,sorry was very sleepy :P

Requisistes :

1. MultiROM Manager - - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr

2. TWRP Recovery with MultiROM.

3. Android Lollypop LRX21T Stock flashable zip - http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/development/rom-flashable-stock-rom-radio-kernel-t2527806

4. Kernel supporting kexec hardboot patch. - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011403

Procedure on Kitkat 4.4.4 :

1. Install MultiROM Manager

2. Install/Update MultiROM, Recovery and kernel if it doesn't support kexec hardboot patch. I'm using Faux kernel V.42 which has the patch.

3. Reboot into TWRP recovery to complete the install.

4. Backup your current ROM.

5. Go to Advanced->MultiROM->Add ROM->(Select Lollipop LRX21T Stock flashable zip downloaded earlier).

6. Wait for the installation to complete.

7. Reboot, you'll be presented with an option to select the ROM (kitkat/Lollypop) to boot into. Select Lollipop and wait for the post installation procedures to finish.

8. Enjoy !

Make sure that :

1. You turn off vibrate on keypress, Gesture Typing and Text Correction

2. Are you using the stock keyboard or you download it from google play or flash it? If yes, maybe that's the problem

3. Try another keyboard apps

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alka-Seltzer PLUS:
Hi aLL !

A friend of mine gave me his XPERIA ARC S saying " it does not boot " and, after reading over the forum and trying to fix his issue, I´m still in noman´s land.

The phone came with stock firmware and with locked bootloader.

Leds are working, I´ve been able to charge 2 batteries at 100%.

I´m able to enter fastboot/flashmode but when I power up the smartphone seems to boot up butthe screen does show no more than black ( backlights are all working ).

Things I tried:

1) Repairing it with Sony PC Companion ( operation was told to have success but.. eh eh.. blanck screen did appear with no sony logo ).

2) Unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom kernel in order to get at least to a known recovery in order to flash a modded ROM ( having no luck because the screen remains black ) hoping that it have been able to display anything.

3) Relocking the bootloader in order to run PC Companion again ( and one more time without having success ).

4) Flashing ( afeter a second bootloader unlock ) some unbriking tfts and after them some stock roms ( i should be accurate on their versions if needed ).

5) Pulling off the battery and press the power button.

6) Some kinds of vodoo.

Do anybody have any tip in order to try to work it out ?

Thanks in advance, have a nice day.

ha, best thing about this thread taking off is the idea the Root thread will update less filling me with false hope. This has really made me think about what Android is like without root, period. It's not as bad as back in the day using a non-jailbroken Apple device, but it definitely feels constrained. It's a constant disappointment reading about indie developed apps or other crazy creative ideas on XDA that are totally non-accessible on this phone. It just seems like a waste of...possibility. My highest praise to the Note 4 is that I don't think there's a better option available, even if root is an impossibility. But at the same time, it's the last totally locked down phone I'll buy.

Hi, as I am using plex and mx player to watch movies it would be nice to see mx player integration into plex. The plex player will never be as good as mx player but it lacks the integration features mainly the marked as watched and resume at last position feature. Would be nice to be able to use mx player just as convenient as the plex player.
[MX Player] josuearisty:
Do you mean having online content as plex does? If it is that, mx player is good enough now as it is.

Please be more specific
[MX Player] Motorpsycho:
No, i mean just some data exchange between plex and mx player about the playing position and watched status. Means if you resume a movie from plex mx player continuous at last position and afterwards tells plex up to which position the movie has been watched, so plex can mark the movie as partly or completely watched. The plex player does this but has too many other restrictions. Should be no rocket science, but depends on the openness of the plex interface.

Are you referring to Plex Server? As in, you would like to see some sort of communication between MX Player and Plex Server when MX Player plays a stream from Plex Server?

If that's what you are looknig for, then this might be a question for the Plex developers. MX Player has an API, maybe they can work with it. https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/api

Hi all,

Strange problem following my OTA lollipop update yesterday. My (UK WIFI version) Shield tablet is unable to detect my router's 5ghz signal. Kit Kat had no problems and all my other devices can still see it fine. I have also tried changing the settings on my router to see if Lollipop is more fussy about frequency/band etc, but still no joy :(

Anyone else having strangeness with this? Or is it just me?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyro9219:
I flashed the US ROM last night, and during setup it took maybe an additional 20 seconds before the 5ghz routers (including mine) to show up in the list. 5ghz has always been kinda weird for me though. On a few occasions I've had to disable WiFi, wait 10 seconds, then restart so that the tablet will connect.

Upon further inspection, it appears the only 5ghz channels that work are the first couple in band A (36 - 48) Nothing else seems to work.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour? Try using a 5ghz channel other than 36 - 48

Band A : 5150 - 5350 MHz (channels 36 - 64)

Band B: 5470 - 5725 MHz (channels 100 - 140)

This is pretty rubbish if this is the case, as the band B channels allow a higher output and give me a much stronger signal in my house :(
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debunk:
I can only connect when I use channels 36-48, Band A UNII 1. Can't even detect the AP with WiFi Analyzer on the shield if I go above 48.

Using the non-US 32GB LTE version in the EU, btw, same frequencies are allowed here as in the US.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClownShoes:
Sorry, you're right 48 does also work.

So that's confirmed then, they have for some reason heavily limited the 5ghz channel selection! I wonder why?

It's not a hardware limitation as it was working fine with KitKat, so I wonder whether it's possible to get the other channels unlocked?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debunk:
Just to be sure, ClownShoes, does channel 140 work for you? I can't test this because my fritzbox router doesn't have an option to change channel width to 20MHz, and channel 140 isn't available to me for this reason.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctrl_Alt_Del:
US wifi version here. 5.1 Lollipop, stock rooted.

I can connect to channel 149 with turbo mode (40MHz channel width) & the upper Extension channel, but WiFi analyzer shows my router is broadcasting on channel 153. I tried so many other channels & combinations but this is as high up as I could go & have the tablet connect. It did, however, see channel 161 but got an authentication error & wouldn't connect with the router.

So, back to 149. The signal is slightly stronger & have better throughput than channel 48!:)

On a side note...I use 5GHz here in this LARGE apartment complex because everyone here is on Verizon FIOS or Cox Communications, so Wi-Fi Analyzer sees 17 (give or take a few for signal strength or weakness) access points around my place & the 2.4 band is completely choked up! There is only 1 other router close by on 5GHz, so using that band is the only option for wireless internet here. I don't use Verizon's wireless AP. They only have 2.4 wireless, no 5. My Netgear simultaneous dual band router is plugged into the back of their cable modem & my Netgear is on 192.168.2.1. That way I can use DD-WRT & my own router instead of theirs for wireless.
