[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunderbrain:
Dear all,

I've performed an exhaustive search all over internet and in particular in XDA developers site and I could not find any information.

First some background just for info:

We are an amateur group that launches high altitude balloons to the stratosphere. There we take photos, videos, we measure temperatures, accelerations, pressure... (I guess it is quite known the HAB activities). Apart from other equipment’s (arduino based) and payloads, we always send an android phone as a recovery system as we can send an sms to the phone to ask its gps location. We also takes some photos during the flight with the phone camera and record GPS, the accelerometer and gyro data.

We would like to save some mass (to reach higher altitude) so we are thinking to launch only the motherboard and the battery. I have tested it with my galaxy S2: I opened it, extracted only motherboard (usb included) and battery (with no screen at all) and I could switch on, and operate it through MHL (hdmi) and a bluetooth mouse.

So we decided to buy a second hand galaxy note 3 (better camera resolution, battery, more sensors...) with a broken screen as no needed.

The note 3 works perfect with the screen attached again via mhl (even though the screen was not working). BUT when I remove the screen, the phone cannot be switched on... it enters and endless bootloop.

I guess that this is because the boot process checks somehow the presence of the screen.

Now the real question:

Do you know if there is any method to use the phone without the digitizer plugged?

Maybe replacing or reconfiguring the boot/kernel/rom to avoid the screen check? No problems at all with voiding the warranty (is a destroyed second hand device) or rooting, or flashing...

Many thanks! :)

p.s. Sorry for my bad English ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I know this is not what you are asking (which is interesting in itself) but why don't you leave the digitizer plugged? It should be like just 1mm or so, and only a few grams.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Maybe this is unclean workaround: how about let the phone completely booted and remove the digitizer?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jisoo:
I would suggest disabling the digitizer and/or display in a custom kernel build first -- if you can get the device to still boot fully, you can try removing the hardware connections. If it doesn't boot, then you need to figure out what in the OS relies on these features.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunderbrain:
Thanks xclub101

Our workaround is indeed that one, to remove everything appart from the digitizer (frame, glass, wacom...). But we also thinking in volume reduction that also impacts weight. Considering that we are tipically launching 500g, 50g is 10% that in terms of balloon ceiling could be 3 or 4 km (not that much, but in any case above our actual limits).

In any case, I do not want to diverge from the original question. That is to use the phone without the digitizer.

Thanks Crescendo

Yes, it could be a solution, I will try to do it. However, once integrated within the payload, it could be not so easy to remove it.

And what would happen if there is a reboot during the flight? (sometimes it happens, mainly due to failures in the battery as a consequence of the cold temperatures up there, almost reaching -50ºC). Then the phone wont boot again :(

Thanks jisoo

Sounds a good solution, but I'm not an expert in kernel customization, nor cooking... If you (or any other) could guide me in how to do it I could try.

Thanks again :)

Did you try SIM / RUIM instead of NV in CDMA subscription settings? It's in Mobile Network tab (just touch the word "Mobile Network" in Settings and it will show the modem network settings). And do you have the correct APNs for the particular SIM card, correct?

Yes i have selected that. apn's dont need to be configured just for signal right? only data
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ah. If ZERO radio signal, it's probably due to preset modem frequency allocation (not something I would want the tamper with). Someone with better knowledge of Qualcomm modem hacking would probably suggest something easier along the line.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icedragon999:
Hi. My phone got wet in my jacket pocket while riding my motorbike. It was probably wet for an hour or so before I got home and started attending to it. Obviously as it was in my pocket it didn't get submerged or anything, but i still found water residue inside. I took it apart, submerged the motherboard in isopropyl alcohol for a couple of hours and then left it to dry. Today it is booting up however I have noticed a couple of problems.

The phone will not start up unless it is connected to a power source when I try to start it. It will stay on if i unplug it.

It won't charge. First time I booted it it said 41%. As soon as I restarted it had dropped to 17% and is now falling even when plugged in. It does claim to be charging when connected however.

The front camera looks like one of those face-morphing apps (Is there's water around the lens or something?).

It also feels quite hot around the top of the phone when it isn't doing anything.

The loud speaker is not working (fine, I'm guessing that's just a case of swapping it out).

Could the first two just be the battery or some sort of issue with the USB interface? Any ideas how to fix these issues? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Clean your usb port. I sometimes clean it with 99% alcohol and a toothbrush when I got some moister damage.

When you charge it, check battery stats and see if it says that it's usb connected.

If so, then you might need to flash a custom kernel (I used Ktoonz for it) and raise the charging stream true usb.

Because your usb port got wet, it thinks you are charging true usb. When charging true usb it will charge way slower. It's als probably the cause for your phone getting hot for no reason.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icedragon999:
I will try that now! Any idea why it won't start unless connected? I've just not a new battery, no change on that issue.

EDIT: It's now starting fine. I'm waiting for a replacement USB connector to hopefully fix the charging issues. It's still getting hot when it's just sitting on the table and the battery is draining at light speed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Good to hear it's booting again. From my experience these issues are temporarily and will disappear over time. The kernel and changing the charging speed fixed the same issues for me. I'm now running my normal kernel without any tweaks. So you might try it before swapping the connector. But that's up to you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icedragon999:
I had already ordered the bits and they were only cheap so went ahead and swapped them out. New USB connector flex and new speaker. Frustratingly I still have no sound. It's charging fine but the battery is still dropping off a cliff (like half an hour from fully charged) and it's still getting hot. I even gave the motherboard and connectors a good clean with high purity alcohol and some cotton swabs. Could the board have suffered permanent damage potentially?

Strangely, none of the water indicator stickers have triggered and it's still in warranty so if worst comes to worst I guess I can go down that avenue.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:

Anybody?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] theviper90210:
Anybody with updated thought/reviews on the dilex pro?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ksoze:
I have the Dilex Pro for the Note 4. I don't think it is slippery when compared to the UAG or Spigen cases. It has a soft touch coating on it. It is definitely not as grippy as the old Active cases - which I have for my Note II. This is due to two factors - they have now switched over to TPU and they only have one grip area on each side, whereas the Active had 2. The side buttons are a little stiffer compared to the UAG - but not as stiff/unresponsive as the cheap full TPU cases you find on e-bay. When you press a button, you do feel the button press and there is a slight tactile response.

I have noticed 2 light scratches on the chamfered edges - 1 top, 1 bottom. And I have only taken it out of the case once or twice.

The kickstand is very nice - a lot more recessed compared to the active but feels just as sturdy. Has the right amount of force to hold it in - can be hard to pop it out sometimes, but better to be a bit more difficult than have it open accidentally.

My only complaint would be that the black version shows fingerprints very easily, so you do need to clean it a bit - the same can be said of the Active. I do wish that they had more of a texture on the sides - since they are a bit narrow due to the slim profile of the phone.

I am sticking with the Siedio over the UAG mainly due to the slimmer case + built in kickstand. Not sure if the kickstand will interfere with Qi charging - my charging receivers have not arrived yet.

Overall drop protection - I feel the UAG would be better - but since the hard smooth plastic of the UAG is slippier....

EDIT: I did not get the holster - not a fan of them.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] theviper90210:
Thanks for the review, if u don't mind post a couple pics
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ksoze:
Update:

It looks like my phone does not have any scratches. (knock on wood).

I thought there was, but I just got my Qi charging receiver and had to pop out the phone. It is not easy to do on this case - it fits that snugly. Anyways - I rubbed at the "scratches" and they are gone. Double checked around the phone edges, and no scratches.

Edit: Qi Charging works with this case - even with the kickstand. Using the Choetech Updated Charging pad - the one with 3 coils. NFC does not work with this Qi receiver though.

RE: Pictures. I don't have a camera with me at work right now - I'll take a few tonight - hopefully I won't forget.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] theviper90210:
Cool thanks ksoze nice to hear no scratches
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ksoze:
Here are the pictures. As you can see those are finger marks - the lighting makes it look worse than it is, but I do have to wipe the case down occasionally.

I placed an e-grips pad in the center to aid with one-handed use. Without it, it tends to slide down if you're not careful.

View attachment 3105732

I forgot to mention this previously, but the bottom microphone home is an elongated oval cutout - so should fit the Verizon(?) model with the alternate mic location.

View attachment 3105730

Kickstand hump area sticks out about 2mm when stored - which is slightly better than the 3mm of the older Active series.

View attachment 3105729

Kickstand can only be used in landscape mode - portrait mode is out of the question. I also find my self resting the kickstand over my fingers for a more relaxed grip. Feels sturdy - does not pop out like the Spigen kickstand. On the downside - if you do manage to pop the kickstand out, I figure it will be damaged. Held in by magnets - does not affect S-pen functionality.

Camera is decently protected - unless you are unlucky enough to drop it on a stone - it should handle falls to flat surfaces alright. The front lip area is about 1.5mm - hard to tell now with the glass screen protector on. You can also see the lovely Halo effect in the front shot.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] revbones:
Interesting. I haven't had the slipping or fingerprint issues.

I tried the following cases before settling on the Dilex Pro:

Spigen Tough Armor (way too slick and felt cheap)

I-Blazon Prime (close but not quite the Dilex Pro - my close second choice, but wish the kickstand was easier to pop out)

Otterbox (way too thick/wide/tall/fat/etc...)

I'm used to the Seidio Active cases. I was concerned when I first received mine because it was TPU instead of the softer grippy silicon. I emailed and they explained that the Pro is TPU and the regular is the softer silicon. They said the TPU was better able to provide protection from drops. Also, the edges seemed a little sharp, but that went away with use.

The iBlazon Prime is pretty cool and close, but honestly nothing beats a Seidio. The kickstand is great, it's slim fitting and protective. While I liked the protection that the Otterbox offered, in the end it was just too huge for me. The Dilex Pro is much more easily used with a single hand, and fits in a pocket better. I've dropped mine about 3-4 times and nearly went into shock each time watching it fall, but it's survived in the Dilex Pro without any scraps/scratches/dings. I also have a tempered glass screen protector (yes with the holo effect, but it feels so much nicer than the flexible ones).

Hi,

I installed two or three apps this morning from Google Play store. After that I found out my phone has some lag. I tried to reboot it that may help solve the problem. Unfortunately after rebooting my phone it stuck at bootscreen. My phone was rooted, and I have TWRP recovery. I have access to system file using it's file manager. Now I want to know which app causing the problem and how can I delete it from recovery. I don't want to factory reset my device. Thank you in advanced and sorry for my bad English.

Try to boot into Safe Mode. Force a restart by holding power and vol up. Then

after

the phone begins to restart (boot screen) let go of those buttons, and only hold vol down. You need to do this after the screen goes dark and the initial HTC boot screen appears. Hit vol down too soon, and you will of course boot into hboot.

If its the apps as you suspect, the phone should boot into Safe Mode. It will look like a normal boot into OS, but with only system apps and Safe Mode in the lower left corner of the screen.

From there, go into Settings and uninstall the 3 apps.

Same with my method. Delete the recent apps (OP said there were only 2 or 3). Than add back one at a time (if you really want them) to see which one is the offending app.

Hey guys, been torn between the N6 and Z3v for awhile now. The draw to the Z3 for me is waterproofing and PS4 Remote Play. If I am sure I could get Remote Play on the N6 I think that is the way I would go.

I have seen the thread about porting the app to "any" device, but within that thread are countless posts about people not being able to get it working properly, many times not being able to get it to work over cell network which Z3 owners confirm their phone will do just fine (with a strong enough connection of course). So I am hoping someone here can confirm or point me in the direction where it is confirmed the N6 can run Remote Play, working over cell network.

Try seeing if you can pair it using the sixaxis app. You need root to use it. Running stock rooted it works fine for N6 for pairing PS3 controllers and it does support PS4 controllers (don't currently have a PS4)

So, right now my Tab has a Rooted TouchWiz running Jelly Bean 4.1.3.

Now, I want to install Google Play Store Mod. I have installed Titanium Backup & backed up the Original Play Store.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Way333:
Hi peep's!

Hope someone can help me. I've been installing lots of roms and found one i liked but then i got too big for my boots (i think). I decided to try the Miui v4 rom yesterday and it was ok apart from swap support so i thought i'd be clever and install the Kernel from "Super Stock". After searching i found it was called "Thunderkernel 2.2". So i installed it via cwm and it booted to a black screen.

I've now tried everything with odin. It detects the phone if i take battery out, hold "vol up + down, home and power and put battery in but it sticks at setup connection. I can even unplug the phone and plug back in and it recognises it after doing the battery trick but still sticks at setup connection. I've tried reinstalling drivers, tried all the odins and shut down everything that may interfere with com's but to no avail. I thought a wrong kernel would at most stop the rom from booting, i never dreamed it would hard brick my phone.

So is this the end of my ace? is it worth me buying a usb jig?
