Is there any alternative for Action Memo? Or any note taking apps for me to use my S pen?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kouros17:
You can root and you can install custom roms which are based in samsung stock rom, without losing action memo.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcjuliuscruz:
Really!? That is a good news! But I have no idea what samsung stock roms based is. :confused:

If you could give me a link of an article or tutorial I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot sir.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Stock ROM means the official ROM, like it came from Samsung. Custom ROMs are those that are modified, have different tweaks and so on, and they are generally not very stable (occasional bugs, lag etc). The more features they have, generally the more laggy they are.

If you want a fluid ROM try Alexander's, it's basically a rooted stock ROM with very few modifications and root access. You will have s note, action memo and everything else you need. You can find the thread on my signature.

Another good ROM I recently tried is audax, it's surprisingly smooth for a custom ROM and it has some interesting features.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcjuliuscruz:
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help. I am now excited to root and flash the roms you mentioned. I just still need to learn how to do the root process and flashing roms first. I think I can do my research for tutorials and instructions. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Rooting can't be more easy really.

All you need is Odin on your computer, don't know what's the latest version, search on Google, I use 3.09 and it works fine. Then you need to install a custom recovery, TWRP for example, which you will get from here, https://twrp.me/ Flash it via Odin, I am sure you know you need to put it under AP (PDA) section of Odin. Now you have custom recovery installed.

And then finally you need to download SuperSU zip from here, https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Have that zip package placed on your device, internal, external, doesn't matter, and boot into recovery mode (Vol Up+Power) and find that zip and flash it, done. You are rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcjuliuscruz:
Thanks a lot for your help! Yup! I have successfully rooted my note 3. :D

Could you guys also help me how to install cwm recovery please? Does the file also depends on the model of the phone? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcjuliuscruz:
Which is better between TWRP and CWM? Could you also send me a link of the lastest version please for my Note 3 for me to download it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kouros17:
Twrp is better for lolipop rom.

[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
I was wondering why my phone always displayed the 3G logo next to signal bar so decided to investigate further. Despite living in the centre of town the 4G around here is quite patchy so I put an identical "Three(3UK)" 4G sim in my old Moto G 4G phone and went outside to compare...sure enough, the Moto G was showing 4G while the P8000 showed 3G. As far as I know I have never seen 4G in the display. The phone will be going back if I can't get 4G!

Anyone else experienced this or am I the odd one out?

4G is selected under preferred network type.
[Elephone P8000] blueflash:
Have you tried Editting the APN settings to that for Three?
[Elephone P8000] ferreinf:
Go to dial pad and type:

*#*#4636#*#* that should take you to phone info. then on nework mode choose LTE only and see if it works...
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
APN seems fine, thanks for that hashcode [MENTION=2691818]ferreinf[/MENTION] - I will try that when I'm definitely in a 4g area near my flat:)
[Elephone P8000] Wilbatron:
My brother has just got one and is having exactly the same issue on Three. Any joy?
[Elephone P8000] OCv_ReckeR:
Lol

[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
I drove to a 4g area nearby today and force enabled LTE only as described(you can also d/l MTK engineering app from playstore to do this) - I did manage to get the 4g symbol above the signal bars but a speedtest didn't really produce what you might expect from a 4g connection...the symbol did change back by itself to H about a minute later so I'm not quite sure what's going on here....I might have an old Vodafone PAYG sim somewhere so my next move might be to try it instead. Haven't got access to EE or O2/giffgaff cards to test. APN settings seem to be correct and 3g data does work quite well so it's interesting that your bro has the same issues, where did he buy his phone and what colour is it(does his have the blue notification led in home button?)
[Elephone P8000] OCv_ReckeR:
I use 3 4G I have no problem

I will Rek u after u read this

-OCv ReckeR
[Elephone P8000] Wilbatron:
I think it might have been geekbuying, it only came today. Black one with blue LED. I got him to try switching to LTE only and he said he got a 4g signal but lost ability to make calls. I'm also on 3 but with a Honor 6 and I'm due to see him tomorrow so I'll have a tinker myself and see how his signal is compared to mine in the same location.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
That will indeed be a good test, I was out again in another location tonight and noticed the 4g come on by itself so perhaps that's a good sign - I'll have to test the calls function when on 4g tomorrow but it should automatically revert to 3g for that surely. I am using the flyme rom by the way...my area is supposed to have 4g according to the coverage checker but it's bloody useless around here!

That Honor 6 better be good for $300 though you probably paid more at the time(did you get single or dual sim?),

I actually bought the P8000 for my wife but she finds it too heavy and the screen too big so I'm stuck with the big gold brick - at least the battery life is pretty good!
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Tested the 4g again and it seems to be working better now that I forced it to LTE through the engineering menu and when you make a call it reverts to 3g then cycles back to H then 4g when you end call. Didn't test d/l speed as I had my payg card in and running a 4g speedtest burns quite a lot of data!

So how do you rate your Honor 6 against your bros phone?
[Elephone P8000] blueflash:
4g just popped up on mine, got 25.3 down and 2.2 up. Not sure if that's good or bad to he honest.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
That's pretty good I'd say, I would be happy with that! I flashed the stock ROM back today and forced phone to LTE and your bro is right about the calls not working as the phone doesn't revert to 3g for voice automatically so I might have to go back to flyme...hope cm ROM is here soon and that it works well!
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Tried again today on stock rom not forced to 4G and the phone did pick up 4g automatically as I was driving around, calls worked too so it seems that problem has magically fixed itself as it wasn't showing 4g at all the first week I had it! Still getting the annoying random wifi hangs and camera crashes when trying to use with other apps(waze in my case).
[Elephone P8000] seadersn:
there's an firmware update adressing this issue, dated august 15th. it should fix this.

http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7096
[Elephone P8000] Wilbatron:
Sorry, not been back to this thread since contributing before.

My brother is still complaining about internet speeds. When I sat with him I was getting H+ but his phone was just showing 3G. Tried to force to 4G only but that resulted in no signal (we were in a weak 4G area). So my main concern at the mo is that he might not be getting H+ and is only either getting standard 3G.

It's difficult to debug from afar, but I did all the usual engineering menu stuff when I was with him and none of that seemed to help. I'm seeing him again on Saturday and we'll both be in a 4G area so I'll at least be able to do some more comparisons...

Regarding my Honor, it's a lovely phone. I paid about £200 for the single SIM European version of it back in January. I had a Lenovo A830 prior to that so I'm a big Chinaphone fan, but didn't want anything bigger than 5" which is what made me go for the Honor. The P8000 seems very nice too though!

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

I remember on my A830 having to flash a different modem / radio image to get the correct bands and I notice a similar issue with some import OPOs detailed here forums.oneplus.net/threads/modem-hack-for-chinese-opo-to-enable-3g.46696 - I suspect a similar issue might be at play here.

Might flash the FlyMe ROM for him at the weekend seeing as people have had success with that...
[Elephone P8000] thirteeneast:
Hi,

I have 4G issue too but have yet to see 4G display once and I"m in a strong signal area.

I have configured my APN for giffgaff, data is enabled, 4g is "preferred" in options and LTE is forced in Eng menu as above *#*#4636#*#*

But still no 4g from my sim which is working as tried in another phone any ideas please?

what does the 3g with a smaller 3g behind it mean?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leijonasisu:
Here in the EU we have different laws about tampering with mobile operating systems/software etc. AFAIK the manufacturer still has to honor the warranty even if the device is rooted (though they are allowed to lock the device/do pretty much whatever when they get their hands on it to fix it, so it can't be modified again).

LG has openly allowed users the ability to unlock their bootloader. But I would like to know how this affects my girlfriend's warranty if I go ahead to root this phone. She bought the phone from the EU and lives there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1998801

^^^^^According to the above thread, there's literally ZERO loss of warranty. It's a brand-new phone and she's a little paranoid so could anyone else please confirm?

LG specifically states on their bootloader page:

They don't mention European customers. But I am pretty sure they still have to honor the warranty by law, right?

Thanks.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polfrank:
Go ahead to LG support tell them that you unlocked the bootloader with the method provided by them (lie) and then show them this law. Now see what they tell you :P
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoleegee:
Somewhere else I've found this regarding EU warranty directive

Directive 1999/44/CE dictates that any object meeting certain criteria (incl. telephones, computers, routers etc.) that is sold to a consumer inside the European Union, has to carry a warranty from the seller that the device will meet the quality that you would expect for such a device for a period of 2 years.

A telephone is an example of such a device and is an object that comprises many parts, from the case to the screen to the radio, to a mini-computer, to the battery, to the software that runs it. If any of these parts stop working in those 2 years, the seller has to fix or replace them. What is more these repairs should not cost the consumer a single cent – the seller has to cover the expenses (Directive 1999/44/CE, §3). If the seller has any expenses for returning it to the manufacturer, this is not your problem as a consumer.

If your device becomes defective in the first 6 months, it is presumed that the defect was there all along, so you should not need to prove anything.

If your device becomes defective after the first 6 months, but before 2 years run out, you are still covered. The difference is only that if the defect arises now, the seller can claim that the defect was caused by some action that was triggered by non-normal use of the device. 4 But in order to avoid needing to repair or replace your device, the seller has to prove that your action caused the defect. It is generally recognized by courts that unless there is a sign of abuse of the device, the defect is there because the device was faulty from the beginning. That is just common sense, after all.

For me this means, that the seller (producer) must prove that the defect was caused by the consumer (by unlocking the bootloader).

I guess it would mean a lengthy legal procedure...

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcodelinux:
I think that you should contact your retailer. If they are in agreement with you on this, let them fight that battle should the need arise. Should they refuse to get involved, then, and only then, go to LG directly.

You can make the case that only unlocking the bootloader does not mean that the device was damaged. Much like raising the hood on a new car does not mean that you damaged the engine. But that's my non-lawyer argument.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john306:
Why when this is a EU directive, do they talk about "should not cost the consumer a single cent" we don't have cents here!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
That's because the Euro is based on cents, or rather the euro cent.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FadeFx:
Actually the situation is like this that in the first six months the seller has to proove that you caused the defect by some inaproriate handling/action (broken mainboard/display due to dropping the device for example), after that time the owner has to proove that the defect was not caused by him. This means also "some" protection for the seller.

Also if the device is defect, you can not demand an exchange, the seller must be allowed to repair the device two times, only at the third attempt you can demand a replacement.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medizinmann:
Hello,

you will loose your warranty.

I don't exactly know how to translate this but there is a difference between Garantie (warranty) and Gewährleistung (more like a warranty against defective workmanship).

The warranty (Garantie) by LG is something voluntary by LG.

Gewährleistung (warranty against defective workmanship) by law is as layed out by FadeFx in post #7.

In other words your real warranty reduces to 6 months - while there is a pretty good chance you might have a quarrel with the seller, when he detects you unlocked the device...

If I were you I wouldn't do it and use the low effort root for now...and wait for another way to unlock the bootloader.

Greetings

Medzinmann
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_scotsman:
If you have an issue like hardware, eg camera or faulty buttons, that isn't caused by unlocking the bootlader, then they will likely still honour it. It's only if you end up with a bricked device that they are unlikely to honour the warranty.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pen²:
Or you simply buy at Amazon where you can file a report for defects after 1.99 years and still get your money back because they simply don't take the time to analyze the issue.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leijonasisu:
Im not really inclined to believe many of the replies here. In the EU we have a statutory warranty that every electronic device must have. It is for a minimum of 2 years regardless of whether we changed the operating system. What i posted above explained that.

Also i don't understand why people from outside the EU are replying. The case of warranties here are entirely different.

Hi, sorry for creating a new thread but I posted in two different related threads i didn't get any answers.

I was given thus moto g 2nd gen xt1064 us version, with unlocked bootloader, status code:3, the phone powers on and go through the boot animation then turns blank with a faint backlight and stays there until battery drain.

What i did so far.

I booted into recovery and made cache and data wipe. Didn't work.

I flashed a stock firmware (5.02 btw) through fastboot with bootloader lock, everything went well according to log, but same result won't go past bootanimation.

I noticed the bootloader is still unlocked even though the relock command was successful:confused:, also phone is not detected by my pc except in fastboot mode.

Any suggestions?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightshield:
Yesterday I re-bought another 64gb Nexus 6 on Verizon. I've previously used 3 other ones that all ended up returned for one hardware reason or another. (all of them screen related. Ugh.)

Anyway, I've never had a problem using Verizon Messages on any of the phones... until this one.

I've tried 20 times or more to subscribe in the app so I could download all of my old messages, but it always sits for a while then fails to do anything. A couple of times I would receive a text with my Verizon Messages Pin, but the app would never show that it was subscribed.

This morning I logged into my Verizon account, and under features where it shows Integrated Messaging, it shows that this phone number is ineligible.

So I'm not sure what has changed since my last Nexus 6 just a few weeks ago... Verizon just updated the Messages app yesterday, so I tried an older version with no luck.

The phone is currently running the newest "I" build, rooted.

Anyone else having trouble with Verizon Messages or is it something with this device?
