[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 16k:
Hi,

I have a very strange issue and I am hoping that someone has a solution to this problem.

The tablet SM-T705 came with Build number KOT49H.T705XXU1ANG2 out of the box and it is not upgradeable.

Recently I bought a samsung galaxy tab s t705, The first thing that I wanted to do is root my new toy.

Obviously the first step in the process is to enable USB Debugging but it is a no go !

Here is what I am doing:

Settings > General > About device , Then tap the Build number 7 times.

Once I got the message that the developer mode is now enabled, I go back to the General tab but the "Developer options" are nowhere to be found.

I installed Nova launcher and tried to crate a shortcut for for the "Developer options" but all it does is throw me to the General settings tab in the settings.

I tried to factory reset the device and repeat the process but not luck.

I even tried some apps that are just shortcuts for the Developer options but it didn't help.

Any suggestions ?

I really need root (cant stand all the bloatware).

Thank you for your help !

Your on an old firmware, so that means you'll need to upgrade. Download mode does not need usb debugging. Simply put your device in download mode, flash newer firmware with odin, then root with cfautoroot. USB debugging is only needed to connect to PC while device is on. Hope this helps!

Thank!

This is the latest version based on Samsung's website and I really need to get usb debug going (not only for root).

Thanks for the help.

Hello guys.

I have an original note 3 (no root, no kernel no recovery, stock note 3). I have the polland rom.

Until today the phone works correctly; during last week i reboot the telephone removing battery 2 times (the phone was freezed).

Today after a freeze i removed the battery and turning on the phone again but the phone remain in a bootloop.

i try with a cache wipe but with no result.

Removing SD card, sim card and putting it on airplan mode the phone reboot after 30 seconds (instead of 5 seconds).

But now, how can i backup my personal data!?

There is a way?

thanks in advance

khael
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
Pulling the battery with files open can corrupt the file system. Your 'data' partition is probably corrupt, and these are the files you want to recover. If you can use ADB and mount '/data' without root access then you can recover some of the files by copying them to the host computer, but you might corrupt that host computer.

To simply fix your device I think you must do a factory data reset.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Khael:
thanks for your suggestion!

I'll try!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Khael:
Today i try also a new original battery without success.

And i can't save data with ADB :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Khael:
Update:

there is an issue on the wifi module.

Turning it off, the phone doesn't reboot. Problem is that there is something that turn on it automatically!

The phone is in airplane mode.

When phone boot up, i fastly turn off wifi and until that it turn on doesn't reboot.

But then automatically turn on i can't disable it because it reboot to fast.

Do u have any suggestion?

i really need backup of some data files....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
As mentioned above, the user is correct, do a factory reset. Should clear the issues.

Good Luck

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Khael:
hello guys.

Unfortunately isn't enough a factory reset :((

After 1 day i have the same problem and so i proceded to:

1) wipe data and cache

2) flash last original firmware with odin

3) new wipe data and cache

Now it's works correctly...

Thanks for your help anyway

How to run Windows on android ?

Is their any way to run windows 7 or any windows applications on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 ??

like virtual machine
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacker31:
As far as i know its impossible to run win 7, but you can run win xp or 95 or 93 on it but it will be super laggy and also awkward.

But if you talking about running windows app on android, wine team is working on it (idk if they still working on it or abandoned it).

Just a theory if you can chmod linux on your tablet and you should be able to get wine working and you can run win apps with it...

i'm going to try 800mb ram on the tab 4, on the tab 3 i believe only the p5220 would

have enough ram available for a semi-decent run.

So, I just tried to add "<group gid="media_rw" /> in the external sd card writing on platform.xml (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414214&page=2)

After saving it through RB Text Editor and rebooted, everything started crashing - Chrome, Whatsapp etc.

So I went to restore back to 2014-07-06 and after I did that, I realised that that was about the time I accidentally deleted EVERYTHING from the tablet while my intention was to format it and that just made everything difficult, and took me the whole night to fix it.

I'd like to know if theres an easier way to fix this than just using ADB sideload and everything, because I don't remember anything about it.

I can't even restore back to 2015-06-04 (today), because it keeps telling me "MD5 Mismatch!"

Hi,

I believe this happens only on WM6, as I haven't got similar problems on WM5 (many ROMs).

The problem is, that even though I removed the Init_Tray link and don't have the tray icons usually - whenever I connect my Wizard to the PC, the tray appears again with AS icon only!

I haven't managed any option / tweak to remove this icon from the tray and as I keep my Wizard connected to my laptop for a long time - this little thing is simply incredibly annoying!

Anyone knows how to get rid of this? Any help would be appreciated....

Hi,

What's the identification used by Sony's PC Companion to know if there's an update for your region ?

Is it the region specified in build.prop ?

Which update do you receive ? The one specified for your region ?

I was on Moonwalker ROM, with US as specified region in build.prop. No update for it.

Then flashed eXistenZ where I changed region to FR (France). Then update center in ROM had an update for me, lollipop .690 firmware. This is confirmed by PC Companion, and I downloaded the firmware (without install).

Then back to MW (US region), no more firmware update.

So, is the downloaded firmware the french one ?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bill3508:
There are lots of settings but wakeloc detector will tell you real quick what's going on. After that we can go from there. Also you might update to Franco's test build r26, its a couple pages back in his thread. I think it fixed a few wake issues.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liam Neeson:
franco himself said that build would not effect wakelocks in anyway. It just modified the idle loop in the cpu scheduler to allow the cpu to idle easier.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bill3508:
I thought I had seen the opposite posted in his thread. Could be wrong though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liam Neeson:
just copy and pasted his post. At least thats what I got from this post.

"If you wanna test a new feature of r26 which is a patch from upstream that instantly idles (idle is not offline, it's a shallow power state when there no jobs running on the core to preserve energy) if a core is running with <= 1 job instead of going through a idle_balance() loop which goes on to decide if the core should or shouldn't enter idle, and it's not cheap. With this patch it also reduces the overall load_average since it reduces idle_balance() calls by 75%. In theory it should improve battery life. boot.img attached

I don't have numbers, but I sent the patch to imoseyon and he's already testing it. With your help we'll get some pretty numbers soon. This is completely agnostic of wakelocks, so if you have them, you're on your own, like you always are."
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bill3508:
This is what you want see in wakeloc detector. As close to 0% as you can get. Just find out what's running/waking up and start working on stopping those.

[Nexus 5 General] apatel321:
Our phones have become an increasingly more important part of our everyday lives. They have become more and more powerful and the batteries drain even more quicker. The nexus 5 is a powerful device it has a quad core CPU and 2 GB of ram and It can still keep up with most of the new flagships that have come out this year. However with great power come great battery drain. To follow this guide you will need a rooted Nexus 5, and a custom ROM installed I'm using Euphoria OS. (This guide has many useful tips it can be used for other devices not just the nexus 5)

1. Get rooted

You can find help on rooting the nexus 5 all over the Internet by doing a simple Google search, or even here on XDA

2. Install a Custom ROM

Although you don't really need to install one I recommend doing it because they offer extra features. That can help you save battery. I like Euphoria OS.

3. Install a custom kernel

There are many good ones out there I'm using elemental x. Although you could also use Franco or code-blue.

4. Get an app to manage your kernel.

You will need some kind of app to manage your kernel again there are many good ones out there like "kernel Tweaker", I'm using Elemental X which is a paid app but it is definitely worth it.

5. Change CPU settings

Go to the CPU section of the Kernel Manager app and set the governor to elemental x if you are not using the elemental x kernel set it to conservative.

Set the max CPU frequency to less than or equal to 1574MHz, and set the min CPU frequency to 300MHz. Set the max screen of frequency to 729MHz.

6. change the LCD display settings

Go to the graphics section and set the minimum brightness settings to 1. Don't go below one otherwise the display won't light up.

7. Undervolt

Under volt your CPU so it uses less juice and runs much cooler. If you undervolt too much than your phone might reboot randomly

8. Turn off the LTE

Other than your display LTE consumes the most battery. This is why I suggested flashing a custom rom. You can add a toggle to the quick settings menu for LTE so when you need LTE you can turn it on. Personally I can get by with 3G and HSPA+.

9. Edit wifi settings

Go to the settings menu and hit wifi, then hit the three dots to go into advanced wifi settings and turn off scanning always available and turn on avoid poor connections.

10. No animated wallpapers

Turn of all live , animated, or active wallpapers. Whatever it may be called on your device /rom.

Your done.

Now you can hopefully use your device for a couple for hours longer. Let me know your results.

I cannot be held responsible if damage is caused to your device.

Besides screen...3g is placed second...followed by lte...follwed by wifi..then 2g. In battery consumption

Cool little guide. Will help the lesser experienced users starting to learn the ropes of everything
[Nexus 5 General] apatel321:
I did some research on this and I tried it out myself for a few days before I posted this. And my research and my experience tell me that LTE does drain more battery than 3G or HSPA+. How good or bad your signal is can also impact the battery.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Although controversial ...i still support my answer ;)

http://www.electronics-eetimes.com/...phones.html?news_id=222920157&cmp_id=7&page=0

Do a more wiki abt envelop tracking..and nexus 5 has that chip ;)

But nothing specific has been given...
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
In the Anandtech review they showed that under identical circumstances LTE is slightly more efficient than 3G on this device. Close enough that in practice it should come down to whichever has the better signal.
[Nexus 5 General] apatel321:
OK I've been proven wrong however you could still set you preffered network mode to 2g and toggle LTE when you need it. (This might be a bit too slow for some people.)Didn't know that its that much more effient my last phone was a sgs2 skyrocket and turning of LTE made a difference of day and night I'm battery. So I continued to do the same with my nexus 5

From that same AT article:

[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
It's not a real world usage test but one designed to put all phones on an equal footing so they can be accurately compared.

For instance their test is running a script that opens up new web pages every 30 seconds and has all background services disabled. This eliminates unpredictable drains and allows the test to be repeatable.
