[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
No word yet. It's been confirmed for the Note 4, Note Edge and S5, but nothing yet on the Note 3 and S4.

Samsung knows the 5.0 firmware for the Note 3 is severely broken, so they might choose to update the Note 3 to 5.1, but they might also stick to Google's 18 months/2 major updates contract and drop support for the device.

Given that they don't seem to give a **** about Note users anymore, the latter seems the most likely. They want to force us all onto the S6 Edge +.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
LOL! How is 5.0 "severely broken" for Note 3?

Anyway, to OP, no, Samsung hasn't officially announced anything yet, but I believe 5.1 will come for our phones, probably in couple of months time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Aside from the memory leaks, errors, bluetooth connectivity issues, wifi issues and battery drains?

Oh no, it's absolutely perfect. Everyone is just lying about it, that's all.

I mean, we totally don't get about 8 people a day asking us to revert their devices back to 4.4, we're just making those figures up. That's what providers and tech support people do, right? ;)

Or did anyone really think the several months delay for the larger versions (BTU, DBT, XEF) were because Samsung forgot? No, it's because 5.0 had a lot of bugs Google left in that Samsung couldn't get fixed. :(

(Okay, okay, I'll stop. :D I should probably just go to sleep, my sarcasm seems to be overloading. :laugh: I've been up for 72 hours straight, I think my brain has simply dropped all functions besides its basic survival instinct, which in my case appears to be comprised almost entirely of sarcasm. No offense meant, I am merely quite severely sleep deprived :laugh: :angel: (Also, I just noticed, on Tapatalk that emoticon is just hilarious. It's pink! Hihihihiihihihihi... :laugh: )

5.0 is the Vista of the Android world. Hopefully 5.1 will be better, though I doubt it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anturaju93:
Android 5.0 for the NOTE 3 is rubbish. Since the update i have multiple lag problems with my note 3 but the most severe is the bluetooth connectivity problems. I can`t use my smartwatches (Moto 360 and Pebble Time) anymore. They drop connection all day long, unable to reconnect, android wear saying connecting .... or displays that my Moto 360 is connected but it is not !

Android 5.0 made my life hell. My phone still thinks that is connected to my car stereo when is not, in a prone call i have to manually disable bluetooth when i leave my car so i can speak.

On Android 4.4.4 bluetooth was working perfectly. Now i`m searching a way to downgrade to Android 4.4.4 ... :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Are you sure you are using 5.0 for Samsung on your Note 3, or probably on something else? :laugh:

Anyway, jokes aside, really?

Memory leaks? What's that? I am dumb. Please enlighten me.

Errors? What errors?

Bluetooth connectivity? I use BT for around 6-8 hours a day, and not once my BT got disconnected!

WiFi issues? I download 3-4 GB from my phone, EVERY DAY. WiFi doesn't disconnect, not once. I however manually power off my router once every 3 or 4 days so that my ISP doesn't start to monitor my otherwise high usage at a stretch.

Battery drains? As I have said a hundred times before, battery life is much better in LP than it was on KK!

Are you sure you are not trolling? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anturaju93:
is not just not working. I have never rooted my phone, only installed OTA updates. Android 5.0 is the worst. Tried everything, including wipe data/full reset, wipe cache, format SD card, the same bluetooth issues. Can`t use my Pebble Time .....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sgt. Kofeyeh:
While it's not as bad as ShadowLea described, I do get occasional battery drains, a dreaded Camera and Gallery lag and heating up/throttling while playing intensive games (Such problems were not present in Kitkat). While the Lollipop update brought some interesting features and new much needed visual improvements the phone for me performs worse than Kitkat (but it's not that bad). Now will I downgrade? Of course not (add the fact that I don't know how xD). Let's hope that we get the 5.1.1 update or even Marshmallow (Though knowing Samsung that's a bit far fetched =P)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anturaju93:
Just downgraded my Note 3 to Android 4.4.2 this morning. So far my Pebble Time works like a dream, no more dropped connection, no more unable cu connect, all bluetooth issues are gone.

Because i never rooted my Note 3 and downgraded to stock firmware, the downgrade process was pretty simple using ODIN.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasra:
Let's not make this "is 5.0.x" good/bad - thread. Some are having issues. Some are not. Some would like to have 5.1.1 with stagefright and other patches, regardless.

The question is: will Samsung deliver 5.1.1 (or later) for Note 3 or or will they not honour their "2 years of updates" or not. If they will. I think I'm done with Samsung for a while (esp. with Note 5 being what it is).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Yeah, Samsung made a special 5.0 ROM for me only, which doesn't give anywhere near as problems as mentioned above!

Some people just like bashing TouchWiz, however I thought those were kidzzzz only, but until now. Then they switch to some other third class OEM, get tired and come back to Samsung, and then they keep their mouth shut. That's how it generally goes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ven0m:
There's no need to be so arrogant. If you're satisfied with how your phone works, doesn't mean that software works flawlessly, especially on other devices that you couldn't see. There may be some failed upgrades, software conflicts, or rare race conditions that prevent some users from enjoying their Note 3 devices.

Fortunately my experience with 5.0 on Note 3 is much better than with 5.0 on Nexus 10.

Still I couldn't see any mention of >5.0 upgrade for Note 3, which is a bit sad, especially when there are exploits out there, and it'll soon be 2 years old.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasra:
I found this post claiming 5.1.1 is coming to Note 3 according to Samsung UK. However, I'd take it with a grain of salt, as August is almost gone, still no 5.1.1 not even news about release and often the local offices in Europe do not know the final details about what the Korean giant had decided.

Galaxy Note 3 receives the Android 5.1.1 update soon

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hassaan Shahid:
facing exactly the same problem , flashed back to 4.4. , but then i lost interest in smartwatch , so upgraded again to 5.0

5.0 is relatively beautiful , but recent apps take alot of time to appear and close ,,thas what bugging me
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I do not troll. I have never understood what the point of trolling is. :confused: What do people find so appealing about it?

I'm simply speaking from the experience of getting far, far too many reports of problems with 5.0. That, and the fact that Samsung themselves have, repeatedly, admitted that 5.0 is extremely flawed. If the lads at Samsung's dev department tell you 5.0 is broken, it's broken.

Have I updated? Hell no. Absolutely bloody not. 5.0 has white menus, that's a no-go for me. Besides, NB7 works perfectly for me (7+ hours screen-on time!). I'm a great fan of the "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" principle. ;)

Memory leaks are when apps use more memory than they should. So when an app that normaly uses only 50MB RAM is suddenly using 900MB RAM, when there's nothing it actually needs it for.

Wait, your ISP has a problem with 4GB a day? That's... wow. I average about 700GB a month on my laptop alone. :eek:

Not every Bluetooth connection has problems. Older Bluetooth protocols have problems, some newer ones work fine. (This is a problem from Google, not Touchwiz. Unless Nexus devices run TW these days :D)

Unfortunatelly, the experience of one does not equal the experience of all. If you don't have issues doesn't mean nobody else does. (Although I am very glad for you that yours works flawlessly! :) )

I do not bash TW. Hello, I'm on pure 100% stock. ;) That'd be a bit hypocritical. TW works fine, it's Android 5.0 itself that is broken.

It doesn't just affect Samsung, 5.0 is malfunctioning on all devices.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
LOL! All the articles are more than three four months old! Maybe there was some memory management issues on early LP releases, but that doesn't count. I don't see much problem (if any at all!) with apps closing/ restarting upon going back into them. I use a six year old Sony GV435 BT headset, LOL!

And as I said, Samsung didn't make a special ROM for me, nor I am the person who just runs a dull device without any kind of modifications! I talk half an hour a day, more mostly, with BT connected, I keep at least a dozen apps open in background, the phone is running for 18 straight days now! So as long as Samsung didn't make a special ROM me those mentioned problems/ bugs are terribly exaggerated. 50 MB app is taking 900 MB in LP. Nah, I sure don't know what trolling is, my DNA lacks that, but I am getting a sense of what trolling is, because when you are around trolls, some effects will be unknowingly pushed into oneself.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anturaju93:
All bluetooth devices are affected, i was having problems even with my car stereo... I spent 500 EURO for my smartwatches so i want to use then. :)

I do like Android 5.0 and i like to keep my devices up to date, but in an working condition :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Yeah, then you report those problems in Google's community, not here. If there any problems with Lollipop then it is Google's problem, not Samsung's.

Google fixed problems in 5.1.1 this is why we wait news from Samsung. If lollipop is latest update for note 3, they should fix all the bugs.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me_is_rushin:
Let me explain.

I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick running Android 4.2. On that devices forum someone posted a stock 4.2 settings.apk. Upon sideloading you had access to things like bluetooth which otherwise the Fire OS does not allow access to.

I have been searching online for an apk, but to no avail. My thinking is that sideloading a 5.1 settings.apk onto the rooted Lollipop rom would allow access to Developer Options, running apps, more detailed battery stats, etc.

Has anyone tried this?

Could anyone help me find a stock 5.1 settings.apk so I can try it for myself?

Thanks
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reichembach:
Hi guys, I couldn't find anything related that gave me a perfect answer so forgive me if it has already been answered!

I plan on flashing CM, so I should unlock my bootloader, but if I do that, the phone would factory reset! I want to keep my data so I read that I could do an adb backup. Now, from I what I read, this is great, because I can have a backup of my phone before I do anything, in case anything goes wrong, but I have a few questions:

1) Does the adb backup, backup the actual ROM? (I'm assuming no, but I would like to be sure)

2) After I make a backup, unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and CM, can I restore this backup, so that I can keep my data? I guess this question is if I can restore the backup to any ROM or just the original one it was mad out of? (like I said, I'm assuming the backup doesn't have the ROM itself)

3) What would be the ideal adb command so that I could the maximum amount of data restored? I planned on using " -apk -shared -all -system " is this correct?

4) What exactly does it backup? From the commands, I'm assuming the app apks, it's data, maybe data stored on the sd card and system apps and data. Is the correct? What else if there is more? (I'm aware the contact, SMS and calendar information won't be restored)

I guess that's basically it! :P Sorry if it was a bit long but I hope someone can help me! (:

this download is no longer available :(

is there another way? i did it with download mode and heimdall suite for the LG G2, but I dont find a tutorial for this way for the g2 mini

Hi!

I, too, am having problems unlocking bootloader. Patched aboot is saved to /sdcard/ and I took care while typing in command into emulator, but after a couple of times I gave up because every time it says that there is no such file or location.

Version of phone is:

LG G2 mini D620r

Android version: 5.0.2

Software version: V20b-EUR-xx

Can anyone tell me what should I do, since I'm absplute beginner in stuff like this.
[LG G2 Mini] Boki11111:
Patched aboot must be in phone memory(no sd card) and command must be written(or better pasted) correct.
[LG G2 Mini] kazamat:
Of course, I know that much. :laugh:

But internal storage is /sdcard, and path to external storage is /storage/external_SD. So that isn't the cause of my problem. Only if instructions in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61175907 are incorrect. :confused:

And I'm sure that precision of my typing isn't cause of the problem. I typed it so many times that I must've got it right at least once. :D
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
Try replacing /sdcard with /storage/emulated/0

EDIT: dd doesn't seem to work with symlinks. /sdcard is a symlink to /storage/emulated/0 . Thus, targeting /sdcard doesn't work.

Ok, I'll try that and report with the results. :)

EDIT: Thanks a bunch Vagelis1608! It worked like a charm! :D :D :D

hello to all, i will explane exactly what i try to do, in order for you to be able provide me the best answer.

i got a nexus 5 few days ago, its the d820 model. the lte is not working in my region, i found a guide who show how to change the lte bands from usa to europe. thats the guide:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/radio-enable-lte-band-3-nexus-5-d820-t2928561

in the step where i should go into nexus 5 field test mode app, i go to app, choose the lte and then edit, and then my phone ask me for a service code.

i start look for what is this code he ask me after reading little i understand it something called MSL code.

i look alot on how to get this code, i try all kind of methods and codes to find it, try to download app to check it, non worked, i get no number.

any one know how can i get it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
Tricky. Why didn't you get a d821?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiptip13:
because i didnt know all that.

but i see this method work for other ppl, when they do what that post say it give them the msl code, and then they move on to other steps and it working for them.

why isnt it working for me?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiptip13:
ok i solved it. here is what i did if some1 else got this problem:

you need adb ofc.

i downgarded to android 4.4

then i root it.

install the app "nexus 5 test field mode"

then open CMD on widows, go to ADB folder, type "adb logcat"

at this point cmd will write all kind of things.

now open nexus 5 test field go to LTE the edit , after press edit logcat will show u the MSL of your phone.

it will look something like this:

D/QC_RIL_OEM_HOOK(18638): sendOemRilRequestRaw returns value = 10

V/LG_SVC_ITEMS(18638): length =6 responseBytes=REMOVED itemValue=******

D/LG_SVC_ITEMS(18638): getCommands commandId 200 = ******-END

D/LG_SVC_CMD(18638): itemID = 200, Value = ******

the ******* is where ur code will show up.

NOTE: there are much easyer ways to do that, i did all above only after all other things i tryed faild.

Well folks a couple weeks ago flashed my nexus 6 with developer preview 2 and the no-encryption image on this thread http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/how-to-flash-android-m-preview-wiping-t3120999 but instead of use the fastboot command "fastboot flash boot boot-noencryption.img" I used the command "fastboot boot boot-noencryption" and then go into recovery and give a wipe userdata.

Obviously my phone gone unencrypted, but a couple days ago I've flashed the developer preview 3 and then wipe data and my phone gone unencrypted without flash anything else more.

It's just a tip, hope works for you guys.

As a relative newcomer to XDA (but have been reading for a while before joining) I was interested to read the "fastboot boot boot-noencryption" comment. I have what I think is the most recent fastboot.exe (20th June 2015) and I see no such command. Is there a newer version, or am I misreading the original comments?

(I have looked for a newer version, but don't see one).

[Nexus 6  General] scryan:
I don't understand and this seems strange? Can someone else comment?

You suggest using

fastboot boot boot-noencryption

instead of

fastboot flash boot boot-noencryption.img

according to the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

So you booted a kernel without forced encryption, but kept your stock kernel in place. This would allow you to de-encrypt the device, but on the next boot shouldn't the stock kernel be booted? And shouldn't that kernel have forced encryption?
[Nexus 6  General] demkantor:
Think of fastboot commands (and adb for that matter) as such

with this example:

fastboot flash boot kernel.img

fastboot - calls up fastboot binary on PC

flash - this is the command used by fastboot binary

boot - this is the partition the command will execute to

kernel.img - this is the image being flashed

So when you use boot instead of flash as the command to be executed you are doing just that, booting, a kernel in this case (but other partitions such as recovery could be inserted here), not flashing the image

This will load said image to said partition but upon reboot it will be gone leaving the one on the phone to be loaded by its bootloader

I hope that helps with any confusion here
