[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iishadows:
Hello.. I'm sorry for my bad English grammar, if you don't understand, please ask me.

I don't think I understand my phone well so I'll just tell you what happened then.

My note 4 is 1 year old. I think it is Thailand's model as I checked the model number when I'm rooting it.The battery life is long lasting when the first time I got it, I'm not sure when the battery life start to get worse. I'm pretty sure it is happening after Lolipop update, not sure if happens before that. I do not install much games, I do have like 5 or below games from playstore, small sized one. I do installed Clean Master to clear junks when I started feel lagging.

Until recently, because I needed root access to backup my game app data so I went root my note 4 using the odin method. I'm still in my stock firmware. I did faced a problem when Security & Policy update pop out , I did update and it went bootloop(I think it's called that) until I can't access into my phone, I did pull out battery then insert back few times and seems like it rolled back. These few days I was researching how to extend my battery life, I read lots of post said some apps is draining apps as it still not yet adapt to lolipop update? also saying Clock apps draining apps, not even wakelock detector able to detect it. I tried SetCPU and set my CPU below 800 Mhz and even 400min 500max(Just a question, why I didn't see On Demand ? Only Interactive, Performance & userspace) , I did not see any obvious results after doing all these things. Oh , I even went uninstall some bloatwares, I did download Greenify and hibernate some apps.

Now, I'm trying this method to see if it solves the problem. http://xdaforums.com/andr...-life-t3095884

When I was about to Nandroid Backup my datas, to confirm it is it

1. Boot into recovery mode

2. Backup?

But then I couldn't boot into Recovery Mode( Volume Up + Home + Power ) just now, It stucks at boot screen, before the animated samsung appears, just Note 4 with model names something. There's no blue text above, and it just stucked there. The only way to exit from there is pull out battery and insert back again. I'm planning to download QuickBoot and try if can access to Recovery Mode.

Seriously, I don't know much about mobile technology, I just wanted a smooth phone with great battery life. I suggest to stay with the stock firmware, I'm still considering flash it to CM12.1 , people said it help with the performance and battery life, I do not like the interface of it, unless it solves all problems if not I'll not choose to flash into that. (Oh, can I use Odin3 to flash this? Can I use Odin3 to flash every rom? I don't really understand about rooting, is there any newbie guide for these kind of things?)

My questions are:

Can you suggest me few ways to solve this problem?

Is the method does help to my phone?

Why I can't boot into Recovery Mode?

What happened actually?

Edit: Or even factory reset or wipe partition(if I'm able to boot into recovery mode) helps? i did not try it yet.

Thank you for reading this even you can't help me.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfienoakes63:
Ok, so i got my new Idol 3 and everything is great except I can't keep Nova Launcher as default. If i re-start the phone it goes back to the OneTouch launcher. Tried re-installing Nova and using Default App Manager from the store but nothing survives a re-start. Ideas appreciated
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokash34:
Did you go into Settings -> Home and select nova as default? Or did you just set it as default through the little prompt that pops up when you press the home button after installing Nova?

Also, I would try installing a third launcher along side stock and Nova and toggling between the 3 in your Settings -> Home and deleting the 3rd launcher. I don't know if it will help but it's something I would probably do. I have Nova installed with no issues though.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Also, try uninstalling nova and then wiping your cache partition via the recovery menu. Let me know if you don't know how to do that.

Then reinstall Nova.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfienoakes63:
Thanks for reply, yes I set it in both nova and the main settings>home screens

Will try the 3rd launcher idea.

Not sure how to do the last part wiping the cache partition. Would i need to setup all my apps again after?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokash34:
No, wiping your cache will not delete your apps or photos and so on. It will just delete some temporary files and clean up some memory on your phone. To do it:

Turn your phone completely off

Hold down the power button and volume up button at the same time until the Alcatel logo pops up on your screen

Release the power button but keep pressing volume up

You will see a menu asking you to select a language... Scroll up and down using volume buttons and highlight your language

Select the language by pressing the power button

Scroll down using volume buttons to Wipe Cache and select using the power button

After its wiped select reboot system or hold power button until phone resets

Note: The factory reset option will delete everything on your phone and return it to its original state. You may opt to do that later if wiping cache doesn't work.

Report back if this works or not.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfienoakes63:
Installed Apex and set it as default - this also didn't survive a re-start. Deleted it and chose Nova again but still the problem persists.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokash34:
Hmm. I'm trying to think of what I would do next.

Maybe go into to Settings -> Apps and swipe left until you get to the All tab.

Find the stock launcher and select it and clear data and cache and if clear defaults is an option clear that too.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfienoakes63:
ok, I wiped the cache partition, but no luck, still re-starts in onelauncher.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfienoakes63:
No luck I'm afraid

Third party launcher

I have the same problem and reffered to it on another thread, I've contacted Alcatel service and they said it was not a bug it just works that way...bulls...t answer...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankee207:
Hello

Same problem here, but on every devices. The only solution for now is to uninstall default launcher but root is needed...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl1859:
This could be happening because you have installed some third party app that is messing with your launcher defaults. I have never had this problems with any of my Android devices before - but you might want to check this post - and see if the suggestion there helps

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famewolf:
I hope your proposed cause is correct as I have not had an issue on my 6045i with nova staying the default launcher. I would propose that those having the issue take a full backup then do a factory reset and only install nova launcher...then check to see if it stays...they can then install their apps till they find the one that breaks it....occasional backups could be taken so they don't have to restart from scratch each time. Titanium Backup could also help to restore the apps.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfienoakes63:
thanks everyone for your suggestions, will take another look when i have some free time
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doweeez:
My phone came with alcatels launcher and a lot of bloatware apps games like cars and other ****. And I couldn't get nova launcher stay as default after restart. I was able to freeze default launching by rooting and using titanium backup to freeze alcatels launcher.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
I was going to suggest freezing the Alcatel launcher with Titanium Backup, but feared that doing so might risk creating more problems than it solves. I'm glad to hear that it doesn't. :)

Not being able to change the launcher is a big enough issue for me that I'd return the phone over it if there's no viable workaround. But I switched launchers within an hour of getting the phone, before I rooted, IIRC, and never had any problems getting the third party launcher to stick as the default, then or now.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyra74:
i searched for the alcatel launcher in titanium but couldn't find it

what's its name?

and you have 0 problem even after a reboot?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
Nope. I've installed like 4 launchers just to try them out; set them as default, removed them and went back to Nova and no problems... reboots and everything. Dunno maybe just try and wipe dalvik/ cache?

I have the same problem, i re-installed the latest Firmware 5.0.2-01004 via the Mobile Upgrade Tool. And do a 'wipe data/factory reset'. But no success the default launcher can't be replaced.

However before 5.0.2-01004 it was possible to replace the default launcher.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famewolf:
Where does the "mobile download tool" get it's firmware or are you referring to the system update checker?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OdoSpace:
The Mobile Upgrade Tool from Alcatel. I get this link from the Alcatel Support:

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBelter:
Bought my wife an Idol 3 after her screen failed on her Nexus 4. Nova Launcher (or any launcher for that matter) does not stay resident after a restart be it a cold boot or a reboot.

Great phone but this is as annoying as hell given it just seems to effect random handsets, if i don't find a solution after a week it is going back for a Moto G
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gynoid:
It's available straight from the TCL/Alcatel website. Mostly useless, better stick to OTA updates.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Ever since hopping on 5.1.1 MMS has been sporadic for me.

I can receive fine, but sending is the problem. And doesn't matter if wifi calling is on or not.

T-Mobile says that they don't see attempts for MMS and filed a ticket to no avail.

It's driving me crazy. Any ideas?

I am rooted fyi.

On COF8

TWISTED SIXX rom (also happened on looper 5.1.1)

Google Messenger doesn't work

Stock Messaging shows sent but no one receives it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
this is really driving me crazy, i updated the mms port to 80 in apn settings to no avail.

If anyone got advice, would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
i havent had any issues until tonight.. now my phone wont send them all the sudden.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ingenious247:
I read that MMS were being disabled by one carrier due to that new Android vulnerability.. maybe that's why
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
I just figured out it was Google messaging... They updated the app today and lots of people are reporting it broke theirs too. Now I have to go back to the stock app which turns on the fricking screen for every text. I'll never understand that feature. Drives me insane.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
For me it's texting as a whole that dies. My data still works otherwise, but SMS/MMS fail to send. Whenever it happens I clear cache/dalvik, reconnect to my wifi and it seems to fix it. Doesn't work every time though.

As far as I've noticed it happens randomly. I'll try to send a text and maybe 5-10 mins later I get a send failed receipt. If I just try to send it again without fiddling with my data it'll just hang again and fail.

Happens with stock and chompsms. I had the issue where my phone would say it had sent but the person wouldn't receive it. That only happened once though, every other time it's given me a fail. The thing is, even though it says it has failed, some of the texts make it through regardless - which obviously means I've been sending a lot of people the same message twice recently lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
This is plausible... any sources?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
texts for me fail once mms hangs. Nothing will come in or out until I get network failure responses 10-15 min later.

Either way, what the hell t-mobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
My experiences have been for the past 3 weeks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
Yeah I was referring to my problem. It sounds like others are dealing with something different than I am.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
So it just happened again, several texts failed to send, but I got a "Unfortunately, IPsec Service has stopped" popup. Maybe it's something to do with whatever that is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
That's Wifi Calling.

I can confirm issue occurs regardless of wifi calling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
For me SMS or MMS were not sending with VOLTE on. I turned it off and the issue was resolved
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Yeah, i've tested with it on and off no luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
So update, I've narrowed down the issue to APN settings and Google Messenger.

Google Messenger has a tough time recognizing our APN's because the APN fields do not have mms protocol options which is what google messenger looks for.

So my next question is, what is the most ideal APN settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
I'm at my end with this. Gonna try a int'l rom and see if that helps at all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Update:

Int'l Rom MMS while connecting to wifi or not on google messenger stock messenger any messenger works flawlessly, tested 20 mms 4 a piece on 5 diff sms apps that previously weren't working.

Why are t-mobile roms inherently corrupt in this aspect?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Can someone adv what the EPC apn is? EPC.t-mobile.com ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Can someone explain the difference between epc.t-mobile.com apn and fast.t-mobile.com ?

MMS fails 100% of the time on fast.t-mobile.com

MMS Is successful 100% of the time on epc.t-mobile.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] General_Mayhem:
I had the problem of messages either not coming in or not sending until I set up a new APN with these settings -

In Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

Name: (whatever you want)

APN: fast.t-mobile.com

Proxy: Not set

Port: Not set

Username: Not set

Password: Not set

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Multimedia message proxy: Not set

Multimedia message port: Not set

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

Authentication type: Not set

APN type: Not set

APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6

APN roming protocol: IPv4

Mobile virtual private network operator type: Not set

Set this as the APN to use and reboot your phone

It's basically the same APN settings that come with the phone with the exception of the APN type

[XDA Assist] mustafaazeem:
Hi, I ve recently bought a used vega no 6 a860 phone. It is behaving weird. Its touch hangs (or may be the phone hangs itself). Then I leave it for a while, and when I return back to it, some times it starts working again and sometimes not. I ve tried a lot of ROMs on it, including ultimate, arrow, CM etc. but no one works. However, the arrow versions seem hanging less than other variants. Some weird thing which I note are

1-The touch sometimes hangs sometimes on recovery too, [both Philz and TWRP]. however, operating recovery with button works ok during this time.

2-When it is hang, the volume up/down button mostly shows and changes volume level [very rarely it does not appear also]

3-pressing power button to wake the phone up from sleep takes longer times than normal

4-The sticker behind the battery say different Serial (228447), Version (IM-A860L), IMEI (xxxx) than in settings->about where it was shown IM-A860K with Olleh ROM when I bought this phone.

Please help me with how I can solve this phone's problem.

Thanks!

Is anyone running Xposed v69 on the latest WWE stock rom?

I've tried a few times today to flash romracer's Xposed v69 arm64 sdk22 zip and it just ends in a stalled boot (the HTC One bootscreen is displayed and it halts there for over 30 minutes). Forcing a reboot and flashing the Xposed uninstaller zip gets me booting again.

Xposed logs aren't written to the usual location and I'm not at home to try and capture a logcat during boot.

Is anyone successfully using that version of Xposed on 2.10.401.1?

I've tried LG bridge to restore to stock as well as other LG support tools to.no avail.

Any help or suggestions would be great.

You are probably going to have to wait for a kdz. You might as well try and flash away. As long as you don't f-up download mode, you haven't much to lose.

You should be able to run the below using send_command.exe. This will back modem up to your internal storage. You can't use sdcard because it would have to be mounted.

To be safe, do your EFS partitions too:

I have an idea though. Try backing up ALL your partitions. Then flash KDZ. Then copy old system.img you had backed up to internal storage. Reflash ALL your partitions in DL mode.
