[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blegate:
Current status- Note 3 running stock 5.0 Lollipop and root is unavailable. No Mobile Data connectivity

Model SM-N900T (Tmobile) Baseline - N900TUVUFO86

Story- Three days ago I updated from 4.2.2 to Lollipop 5.0 . Shortly thereafter issues appears such as not being able to set PIN security.

Factory resets didn't help. Re-flashing again with 5.0 (BTW, all done through Kies) resolved the issue but other issues appeared. Mobile data connectivity via Tmobile was lost. Couldn't select a Tmobile network- times out. APN is correct + all other settings. I downgraded the phone back to 4.2.2 hoping it would correct the issue but not. Still no mobile data connectivity. Tmobile in-store tech were no help. IMEI appears intact when viewed through *#06#- matches the back of the phone; however, when looking into the details (*#0011#) I see a IMEI FAIL CERT -4. Besides this issue everything else is perfectly fine.

My thoughts are the modem needs to be re-flashed via odin. I found one specifically for Tmobile Note 3 US (from around 2013) on this site. It's a BIN file which I've compressed to a TAR ( suppose I could flash the BIN using phone in odin too). I need some advice here if flashing this modem is the right thing to do. If not, any other suggestions?

Thanks

I was wondering if someone could tell me if the sailfish version currently available for the oneplus one is as secure as ubuntu touch for the oneplus one?

I want to know this, because I want to make purchases online with this OS, and I don't want my personal info to get stolen.

If someone knows the answer to this question, please respond ASAP.

Thanks.
[Sailfish General] kdb424:
I'm sure sailfish takes security seriously. IT is a linux based rom, much like Android and Ubuntu Touch. Security specifically for the One Plus One should be no different to any other phone running the same software version. To my knowledge, they are officially supported (in alpha state that is) on the main forums for sailfsih OS. Do you have any specific security risk in mind, or a general risk level?
[Sailfish General] niubboxp:
I d like to now if sailfish or ubuntu touch are secure for privacy, i feel android ios and wp spyware apps are worst than window's virus and os are bot safe enough for me i like to run an os, as linux do, keep my privacy my data for me only without sharing with companies

I dropped my HTC TYTN some days ago and since then my external speaker is dead...

so no ringing, TomTom directions or just any other sound.

vibration and calling works ok though.

Any ideas how to fix the sound?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Problems with both speakers have been dealt with before here's one thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=288728

To sum up:

Rear speaker - likely problem is that the push on connector has slipped off - relatively easy fix is remove back and re-seat the connector. It is seen here at the top of the photo (white block with red and black wire)

The front earpiece speaker has spring contacts which can become bent and loose contact with m/board - normally just need bending out a little. This speaker is more prone to faults though and might need replaced. Can be replaced with Motorola L6/L7 earpiece speaker (available here http://www.phatphones.com/mobile-phone-repairs-1.htm#speaker) as a close alternative to original. A more difficult fix as the motherboard must be removed:

Buy a back speacker

Hello

The back speacker of my Hermes-qtek-htc-9600-tytn is broken down.

I have done a hard reboot, checked the connector but it still does not function.

Please could you give me an URL to buy a back speaker for France ?

Thanks all for your assistance.

Sorry for my english.

Cordially, NewCom:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I have not found a source for them yet!

The usual parts site does not have it unfortunately:

http://cnn.cn/shop/htc-tytn-c-277_279.html

If you have some basic electronic/electrical skills you could find a similar phone speaker from another model. So long as it is small enough to fit the balck plastic speaker housing. You would need to use the original connection block from the Tytn and wire it onto the equivalent speaker.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony.moua95:
My model number is the SM-N910P. I was on Android 5.0.1 when I first rooted and flashed CM12.1 on my phone. However, as I incrementally updated the CM nightlies, my signal seemed to get weaker over time even to the point where I simply have no service at all. I decided to snoop around and found that updating firmwares may fix these random signal drops since I was still on the Sprint 5.0.1 firmware while running the CM12.1 based on 5.1.1.

I managed to successfully flash the official 5.1.1 firmware from the Sammobile website and thought for some reason the cf auto root file (based on 4.4.4 according to the site) would work with the 5.1.1 firmware. Obviously, that wasn't the case and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I assume there is no root method that works with the 5.1.1 firmware yet. Is that true? I do believe that was the reason for the bootloop, but I'm not 100% certain.

I'm currently downloading both the 4.4.4 and the 5.0.1 firmwares. Will flashing either of these firmwares via Odin get rid of the bootloop? Or will it fail?

Thank you for the answers in advanced!

Flash 5.0.1...Flash twrp...root...and then you should be golden
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony.moua95:
So I'm pretty certain the "N910PVPU1BOB7_N910PSPT1BOB7_N910PVPU1BOB7_HOME.tar.md5" is the 5.0.1 firmware file. However, it kept failing so I reflashed the 5.1.1 firmware and it oddly enough succeeded. I believe it kept failing because I actually had it flashed on my phone. I was working on the bootloop fix last night so I didn't keep track of which firmware I was flashing.

I managed to successfully get out of the bootloop after reflashing the 5.1.1 firmware. I will try to flash the 5.0.1 firmware again and TWRP.

EDIT: The 5.0.1 firmware was never flashed. I simply just can't seem to flash an older STOCK firmware ever since getting 5.1.1.

UPDATE: Since I couldn't manually flash an older stock firmware via ODIN, I decided to just go ahead and flash TWRP via ODIN then delete all the dalvik cache/cache stuff via advanced wipe. I managed to successfully flash the latest version of the CM12.1 nightlies and gapps zip through the TWRP install option with the current 5.1.1 firmware: N910PVPU4COG5

[Amazon Fire Phone] Zwitterion:
I just received two phones (from the excellent eBay deal that I'm sure will drive more popularity of this forum), and stupidly, while working on the first one (getting CM11 on which went seamlessly), I forgot to disable updates on the 2nd. When I turned to the 2nd phone, my heart sank as I saw that it was now on 4.6.4 (464000220). My immediate thought was to boot into recovery and sideload 4.6.1 (820) but I remember reading that there is danger in downgrading this way?

Can anyone shed some light if downgrading this was is safe, or if I am no royally screwed? While Kingroot has no problem rooting 4.6.4, I'm trying to get to CM11 so I need Safestrap which apparently require 4.6.1 (820).

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks a bunch!
[Amazon Fire Phone] sakdroid:
I received Fire Phone today from the eBay deal..

I was reading thru Forums before i connect to Wifi.

Could you please share how you disable updates?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Zwitterion:
So in the absence of any response, I decided to just do it, and can confirm that sideloading 4.6.1. after having updated to 4.6.4 is without any ill effects. What a relief. As the eBay deal has about 7000 purchases, I'm sure others will fall into the same hole, so I hope this is of help. I used used Minimal ADB to serve as the deskop-side bridge (largely because I already had it installed from when I flashed my HTC One M8).

I must say the flexibility and simplicity of flashing these fire phones is even better than with HTC Ones. Ability to sideload a ROM baked into stock recovery is fantastic. If only all manufacturers were as (perhaps unintentionally) flash friendly.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Zwitterion:
It's surprisingly easy. Simply go to Settings (the Gear Wheel in the menu), then on over to Manage Applications (I can't remember exactly what it says as I've flashed both my phones over). In this section, make sure to select the filter at the top to list All applications (I think it defaults to those "Downloaded"). Then simply scroll to two entries that say System Updates. Select each and select Disable. That's it!

As I mentioned, if you are looking to flash CyanogenMod (and you really should since FireOS is extremely clumsy and poorly thought out), this doesn't matter as you wiping the phone of FireOS when you do so. The good thing is that if you don't like CM, you can always flash back to FireOS per the flashable images provided in other threads here.

Hope this helps.
[Amazon Fire Phone] burke91:
hey there...

can you post a link to 4.6.1?? thanks..
[Amazon Fire Phone] Ztcc:
Just a heads up, my phone is an unlocked model on t-mobile and it OTA updated while I was in the store to 4.6.4. and rebooted into recovery with an error message. Only operation is to sideload. Will absolutely shut that **** off when I'm done.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sakdroid:
I am on 4.6.1 and I disabled the 2 system updates app.

but still, its trying to download 4.6.4 update.

any idea..

How do you ADB fire phone.. I couldn't get ADB to work. I may miss drivers though.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Zwitterion:
I believe there is a third system file "DCP" that needs to be disabled. The list of apps adjusts in a couple threads here.

I would install a package called "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" which you can find on a Google search. A small and effective installation that works well.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] dave7802:
Am hoping this is not a DUP post,

With the details recently been released, the note 5 has no micro SD storage.

Am wondering what you fellow note users are considering as the best upgrade?

I love the note series, I love the size an the power of the device.

With no additional storage, this is a deal breaker for me.

My upgrade is due in a couple of months.

Just interested on your thoughts on possible alternative devices you may be considering.

I don't know of the S series of Samsung is enough of a replacement.

The note 3, may be the last of the Samsung series for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
Believe me, there is NO alternative of Note series. When a person gets used with Note series nothing can impress or make them happy any more.

So you either get the Note 5 or stick with your Note 3, or maybe get a Note 4, it's still a great phone.

We don't have any contract stuffs here but I like to update every one year or so, and I am really confused too. Was hellbent that Note 5 would be my upgrade, but now after seeing it I am doubtful that I will upgrade to it. I mean no SD card is no big deal for me, nor is the non-removable battery, but same screen size and smaller battery capacity is weird! But maybe after a couple of months or so I will eventually end up with buying it, simple because there is no device in this planet which could come even remotely close to a Note :(

What the heck is Sony and HTC doing for all this long for God's sake!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] dave7802:
I would not upgrade to the Note 4, I don't see this as a viable upgrade.

I may have to bite the bullet, find a device with the same size screen an similar hardware specs.

Its just going to be a challenge to drop the S pen.

The edge was a close competitor, need to go onto a store to have a play an feel.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] smarcin:
I'm thinking of getting a Note 4 off of Craigs, if I can find one for "reasonable." Then wait and see if Samsung sees the error of its ways next year for the next Note. Also, a Samsung rep pointed out to me that there's a Mophie case for the S6 that the phone connects to when you put it in. The case has a slot for a microSD card and, from what I understand, an extended battery. They may make one for the Note 5. No telling how big and heavy that would be.

I talked to a tech at the Sprint store, as I was wondering how you get out of a boot loop, should one happen. Apparently for the S6, there's some key combination that's supposed to work like a battery pull. I assume they have something like that for the Note 5.

I think I'll wait to see what people are saying before I decide for sure what to do. Both developers, techs and users. They did tell me at the Sprint store they will have the Note 5 for Samsung's announced date: August 21st. They are already receiving accessories for the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
The Note 5 isn't being released in Europe, at any rate.

Well, if you can settle for not having AMOLED and not having an Spen, the upcoming LG G4 Pro is the device the Note 5 should have been. Snapdragon 820, 5.8" 2K, 4GB RAM, MicroSD, IR blaster, FM Radio, removable battery. (not confirmed specs, but the rumours are pretty solid.)

Though frankly, I'm expecting a Note 5+ around March/April. Samsung amended their statement pretty quickly to "Not releasing it in europe this year, will release when individual markets provide a favourable moment".

The EU/International variant of the Note has always been the Snapdragon model, due to its strength and its more powerful GPU. Exynos models have always been lower-market models. The current Snapdragon CPU had too many issues, and the 820 wasn't ready in time for a pre-iPhone release. Given that they released an S6 Edge+ alongside the Note 5 makes me suspect a Note 5+ to be released alongside the S7.

Personally I'm sticking with my Note 3. If it dies, Note 4 will be its replacement. But I will A, never buy a device without a MicroSD, B, never buy a device with an Exynos, and C, live in Europe.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Polar67:
Largely i´ll have to agree. On the MSD-slot though: If we get a 128 GB option i´d probably surrender. If i understand the issue correctly, the on-board ram is much faster. The current N5 setup: Not a chance. One thing i don´t completely understand: Every time we get a new phone on the market with sd-slot, the on-board ram is always on the small side. The best i´ve seen so far was 32 Gigs. Is it just to keep retail prices down? It almost feels like a "Holy cow". To me this sounds like a situation where we could actually have our cookie and eat it too (Provided of course we were willing to pay for it ;)

Regards

Elo
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
You're spot on about keeping the retail prices down. It's mainly because most people aren't paying 100 quid for 32GB extra when you can get a 128GB MicroSD for 66 quid. Consumers aren't that stupid. (Well, most of them aren't.)

I mean, take the Note 4. €599 for the 32GB model, + €66 for a 128GB MicroSD = €665. The 64GB model costs €699. If you buy the first, that leaves you €34 to spend on a really nice case, screenprotector or extra battery. Or two 64GB MicroSD's. (MediaMarkt sold a pack of 2x64GB+adapters for €32 last week.)

You'd have to be pretty bonkers to consider the 64GB edition that way. ;) (I did consider it, and yes, I'm officially mad as a hatter. But unfortunately they never actually produced the 64GB edition of the Note 3.) A 128GB edition would cost over 1000 euros, which would scare people off.

Not to mention, if you keep your apps internal, and your media external (which is safest in the event of a hardware defect, freeze, crash or drop, too), 32GB is more than sufficient. I have 523 apps, of which over 100 games, and still 5GB free internal space.

And then there's MTP. Transferring an average 1080p film of 25GB takes 5 minutes via a MicroSD adapter. It takes 3 hours over MTP, and craps out halfway because the protocol crashes.

The real issue is that a lot of people are idiots. Yes, the onboard storage is faster in its new format. That's entirely true. Aparently, a MicroSD slows things down when apps are put on them.

Which is the problem: people have forgotten that MicroSD's are for MEDIA. It is entirely irrelevant how fast the internal memory is compared to the MicroSD. That film isn't going to play any faster than 25fps. (Rant aimed at the people who use that as an argument. Not at you xD)

And Samsung has forgotten that the average 1080p film is 25GB. How, exactly, do they suggest I put that on a 32GB device that is already housing 8GB worth of bloatware? :confused:

I have two 128GB MicroSD's filled to the brim with films, series, comics, magazines and books that I swap around as I need them. Even a 256GB device would not be sufficient for my needs. Overkill? Maybe. I have to travel on public transport for 6 hours a day, 5.5 of which are in a mobile deadzone. (So no cloud, if that was even useful with maximum data subscriptions of 12GB to begin with. That's half a film.)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
LOL! An LG compared with any Samsung is nothing but a joke, utter joke. Sorry if some LG fanboy gets butthurt here, but speaking from a purely personal experience with G3, and the Nexus 5 too.

Biggest shame a Note device could have by being compared with some hotchpotch LG!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Oh I quite agree. The G4 barely lasts 2 hours with the screen on, 6 with the screen off. Sure, it has a fancy camera, but if I want to take fancy pictures, I'll bring my EOS 70D.

I was just suggesting options. In terms of pure technical specs, the G4 Pro looks to be everything we'd hoped the Note 5 would be. The fact that LG usually screws up their phones (Though nowhere near as bad as HTC seems to be doing these days) has little to do with the core specs.

What's your opinion of Motorola's Nexus 6? Now that Android natively supports MicroSD, and the N6 had an AMOLED screen, the next Nexus may very well be a serious contender.
