I followed every post in the thread... and noting worked til I did what I did above. Maybe in some cases, I wouldn't have had to do everything I did... but, that wasn't the case this time.

I did have to copy over the settings files. Something got borked, and all my settings were overwritten with fresh empty ones. It's a good thing I backed up my entire 128GB card before starting the Marshmallow update.

I took the time to articulate everything I did in case, like me, someone came by and tried what you had written and it didn't work. Now they have two options.

Merry Christmas

Thank you for your help :fingers-crossed:

I couldn't use TB for 6 months..

now I can use it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingfishbc:
Yay - I've got backups again! I used the keramidas gambit from titaniumtracks.com, and made the recommended changes in preferences. It took me a fair amount of fussing around to gain success for some reason, and the successful results were not immediately apparent. Even after rebooting, I think it was a half hour before I could see my backups in Titanium, or effectively order a batch backup.

Thanks all!!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
no matter what i do i cant restore.. theres like 6 apps and games that i played that i backed up.. on G2 and cant restore it on G4... i have a new back up of all other apps .. that i didnt need data... but i need the old data when i was on G2... i have move the properties and tg.gz files .. all i see is check mark and suppose it has data.. but on information.. says phone or rom unknown. it all says unkown..
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinhuiz:
This works for normal backups, thank you very much, but Nandroid backups on the SD card still can't be found. I want to use TB to restore apps from a TWRP backup (which normally resides on the external SD), but it can't find those.

Can you solve that? :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F1Fanatic27:
Ah you can't use Titanium Backup for that. You'll need to find a program that's specific to Nandroid backups. Just search for one in the Play Store. I've used Nandroid Manager in the past.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinhuiz:
That's not quite true, at least not for TB Pro. Check in the menu under Special Backup / Restore, there you'll find the option Extract from Nandroid backup ...

Click on that and it will give an Error (Failed to locate your ... backups directory.)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jwat_10792:
Long story, but T-mobile sent me a N910T3 as a exchange for a messed up N910T.

The T3 a week and half ago wouldn't charge and I did everything I could, different charger, outlets, cables, batteries so forth. Took it in and they said there was a problem and they would send me a refurbished N910T.

Since the night at the store the T3 has charged just fine, not a issue and has worked. It has system issues but we all now about those.

After numerous talks with reps I continue to get the T version.

Keep the T3 or just go back to a T.

I noticed the unlocked bootloader is only able to be done on the T3 but not the T.

Any input of help is great, thanks for everyone's time!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ubigred:
T

Sent from my SM-N910T
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vponomarev:
Could you please elaborate? Are you saying T is better than T3? Why?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
People would most likely say "T" as you can right now go back to 5.0.1. so long as you do not update the bootloader (I believe, correct me if Im wrong).

So when people got a T3 they did not like that as they were forced to be on 5.1.1 which the N910T did not have at the time.

As of the other day both the T and the T3 are on 5.1.1 DOK2.

Once you are on DOK2 they are basically the same phone thing and the ROMS will be interchangeable going forward. (DOK2 and higher)

(Except that the T3 phones are guaranteed to be newer and more crispy so to speak. They sent me a brand spanking new T3.)

With all that said most people want to go back to 5.0.1 because DOG1 was all jacked up because of some bugs (FingerPrint/Random Locks) and bad memory management.

If these has been resolved then perhaps people will start leaning more towards DOK2 for their base as it would be superior.

This is hard to tell right now till people get some time behind the new FW.

It has been confirmed by Samsung and T-Mobile that there was a "production line" change. With that there have been "Rumors" as to what actually go changed.

Now this could be as nice as a alteration to something like for example the GPS chip which people complained about on the T. (people say their GPS was better on the T3)

Or it could be something as meaningless as a part on the "T" started costing more so they changed to a different part to keep the cost the same etc.

(If ether of the above happens I believe they have to file with the FCC and create a sub-model)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznvi3tric3guy:
The T3 definitely have better gps locking than the T. My T3 has been far superior than my original T. Everything is stable and fast and great battery life.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jwat_10792:
Thanks so much for the input and insight from other people.

I have a week from yesterday to get something shipped back to them so I will play with them and see how they both run.

The T3 had issues using the keyboard (freezing and going back to the home screen) since I got it, ended up doing the update to both the T and the T3. Even though the T3 had 5.1.1 before it already seems different for the good.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
I would hang on to the T3 for now....

Since DOK2 just came out this be a good release and might make it worth it to stick to the T3.

Worst case is you could do a swap later if you want a "T". As you can see it might be more difficult to get a T3.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vponomarev:
So, in other words, are you saying that one piece of hardware is better because as of this moment it can run an older piece of software, which is proven to be stable and reliable, while reliability of the newest software, which both can run, is not known yet?

That's one way to look at it, however this is not the criteria I can agree with. Given that more updates are promised, even if the one from two days ago turns out to be especially bad, I would still look only at hardware differences.

But no one seems to know what they actually are, besides a few anecdotal evidence of a better GPS chip.

PS:

I should have mentioned that I'm kinda in a similar situation as OP and have an option to choose which one to keep. That's why I'm truly interested to know the hardware differences between T and T3. So, if anyone reading this knows, please respond.

I've been running Rapture 5.1.1 ROM (DOG1) on T3 for the past few days and haven't noticed anything noticeably different in hardware behavior (didn't have any GPS issues with T neither). However, I still haven't got a chance to update T (currently with a stock deodexed ANK4) to the same ROM for true oranges to oranges comparison.

Software-wise, two big differences that were immediately apparent were: 5.1.1 no longer has DNS leak issues when VPN is connected and it is able to record calls using Call Recorder in full duplex mode when Bluetooth is connected.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
There have been countless people that have reported the GPS is better on the T3.

This could be hardware or it could just be 5.1.1 that has it going better.

Some people want the better GPS function and locks.

You are right though, if DOK2 has not fixed the FingerPrint, the memory management, and the other reported issues then it would be best to have the ability to go back to a stable 5.0.1.

However if it has been fixed then its time for people to get past their beaten dog syndrome and accept the new stable FW.

If that is indeed the case then some people might want to keep their T3.

For example, mine is brand new as of September. I don't know about anyone else but Id rather have a newer device.

The only way to be sure of all this is when time passes. If DOK2 actually pans out and is a good stable firmware then users of the T and the T3 will both use this and we will see if the GPS is different.

At the end of the day the T and the T3 are both a Note 4 and its not like much can be different.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] blindskater39:
DOK2 has been more stable to me so far than COG2
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] naruto.ninjakid:
It was my understanding the T model has more compatibility with custom ROMs sometimes as some hardware was changed and not all ROMs supported the t3 version. For that reason I sought out a T model instead of a T3. Not sure if they figured out what changed to make all roms interchangeable.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
That is incorrect, it was never a hardware issue...

The ROMS didnt work because they were COD6 (5.0.1) based ROMS and the T3 came with DOG1 5.1.1.

You cannot downgrade bootloaders once they are flashed. Thus making the T3 permanently stuck on 5.1.1. It can upgrade but cannot be downgraded.

The hardware may or may not be different on the T3 there was some speculation that the GPS chip had be changed on the T3 because GPS locks and accuracy was better.

However this could have just been because the T3 had a totally different firmware (5.1.1 DOG1) then the N910T.

Even if the GPS chip is different this is not affecting the firmware. DOK2 on the N910T3 is the same as DOK2 on the N910T.

There already have been people that flashed the DOK2 that was released for the N910T on the N910T3 and it worked fine.

There are separate named download files from KIES and OTA because the actual devices (from an FCC ID and internal Samsung ID standpoint) are different.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] naruto.ninjakid:
Good to know. Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vponomarev:
They are not totally identical though. I only looked at img files inside tar.md5 and system.img.ext4 files are not even the same size. Other img files have a few differences as well. Haven't got a chance to lean how to uncompress these files, so can't tell what exactly is different.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Touche, well either way. I personally would be using T3 stuff if you have a T3 etc. Just makes one feel better.

Wonder what the differences are. ...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] alher591:
How can I get tmobile to exchange my T for a new T3?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aaldiar:
Just thought if point out that my GF just picked up a T3 model. I upgraded her baseband and modern through Odin, and installed cmRemiX 14.2. Outside of the baseband and modem (mine is upgraded too for the T model) everything we are running is identical. Her screen looks a little sharper than mine. Not sure if this is a placebo effect for an 'ooh shiny' or not. Just an observation.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vponomarev:
Speaking about screens... I noticed that T3 screen colors are less bright and the screen overall looks dimmer when both phones are set to max brightness.

I remember when T originally came out, there were reports of "dead pixels". When I was buying mine at the store, I made it a point to find one that doesn't have any of those. I personally went through 4 or 5 phones before finding a good one (I know sales people at that store don't like me anymore because of that, lol).

However, from what I can tell, those were not real dead pixels, but rather some metallic(?) particles on the screen under the glass (occasionally you could get them to shift around, but not too much, as they seemed to be held by static pretty good). Apparently those were some quality issues during assembly. T3 that I picked up couple of weeks ago didn't have this issue. Maybe Samsung used a different/updated screen in T3?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aaldiar:
I'll test and compare ours later and report back. We're running the same ROM and all as well, so variances like that will be minimized. Also going to test out GPS differences and the like. I set her kernel up to be identical to my settings also since we both like to have some conservative nature to extend battery life a little.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] thiennvbk:
after update to DOK2 I feel it have some lag in my phone, and can't root so can't use some tool :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] HIPPOLYTA6969:
I am on a new SM-N910T3 I can not get CM remix, cyanogenmod, or anything to install other than the stock rom. I am rooted, have TWRP installed, and all of that. The phone arrived yesterday and had N910T3TMB1DOK2 installed. This phone was a replacement for the N910T because it had serious camera issues. Anyone know how I can get things up and running again, I hate touchwiz.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] monkeypaws:
Really. I'm on the same model most recent update and just installed a fresh copy of cm12.1 I followed the instructions for the model in this general forum. The only change I would make is when you try and install twrp make sure you tick the reset button on Odin otherwise stock recovery sticks instead of twrop. But I'm not sure what issues you are having.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] HIPPOLYTA6969:
I hope I don't sound stupid asking this but is there a different install method for cm12.1 on this model?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] cinephy:
Just wanted to chime in that I too was in a similar situation in that during a warranty exchange for gps and camera issues I asked multiple times ( 6 phones all together ) for the T3 variant and continued to be sent a T model. Finally after the third round of exchanges I decided to just use the refurbished T model that they sent me. Tested the camera for focus issues, updated the bootloader to dok2, flashed Texodus then checked the gps. Instant lock. I think that there were just some duds out there of the T model and a bad bootloader / stock rom expounded the situation. I have no complaints anymore about my T model.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] huntnyc:
Same here. No problems with replacement T model. Ironically I was having camera troubles on my original T3.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CravingMender9:
6 is the lucky number. I think they are not sending t3 models anymore. I also had 6 phones, 1 original+5 replacements 910t. 3 with camera problems, 1 dead on arrival (not booting at all) and one full of scratches. I opened most of it in a TMobile store to make sure they don't think I'm crazy. Finally got a n910t model that works fine. I think I'm done with samsung.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oval61251:
I currently have an S6 and cant stand the sluggishness and not having service and dropping calls. I am torn between the 6p and 5x and am worried that the 5x wont be able to keep up compared to the s6 since the specs are not as great on paper. I mainly use my phone to browse internet, text, and play dragon ball z dokkan battle. I am just on the fence as to which nexus phone to get. The size of the 6p is what is turning me away.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valantur:
I just got the 5X at $299 + $25 gift card from B&H, tax free.

$300 + tax is the most I would spend on a phone like the 5X. I also was torn between the 6p and 5x, but the 6p is HUGE and when/if you add a case the phone is as big as the Nexus 6. It's also much more expensive.

Bottom line: I prioritized the smaller size without compromises (fingerprint scanner, nfc, android pay, etc) of the 5X over other smartphones, even some which performed better from a pure benchmark perspective.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
There are plenty of comparison videos on YouTube. Check them out - very helpful.

Specs are only part of the story. I eventually decided against the 6p because it's size. I don't like these phablets...

The one thing that worries me is the screen. Coming from amoled the LCD is going to be a big step down.

But I want Project Fi - not much to choose from there...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanternca:
Honestly, there are some things I miss about the s6 (quality of screen, speed of camera, etc). I even miss the physical home button, but I work at a desk all day and my phone generally sits on top of it. Given that, the physical home button in front made sense. Now, I have to hit the phone to jar it enough to turn the ambient screen on and go from there. I've also missed the very short window (and the ambient screen turns back off) several times. That being said, when holding it in your hand, the imprint reader is awesome and fast. I also think the build quality and feel are just 'ok'. Definitely feels like a cheaper phone that the s6 - but i put my phone is a cheap plastic case anyway. Overall, I'm happy with the switch.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peabody42:
I had the S6 and 5x side by side while transferring things. The S6 felt much snappier and faster. The OLED screen is much, much nicer. The camera is better and has optical image stabilization. I liked the smaller size.

The 5x has a much better and faster fingerprint sensor. It has stock Android 6.

That's about it. Why did I switch? My S6 was already beat up and had a broken screen. I still love the 5x, and like its size over the 6p. In the best of worlds I'd love an S6 with the 5x fingerprint sensor and maybe ditch the home button.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
I had a S6 edge and I went to the nexus 5X and am much happier. My S6E was so choppy with the animations and scrolling, it heated up way too fast and that stupid f**king physical home button...

My 5X's animations and scrolling are much smoother, it Never heats up and back to on screen buttons from this decade.

I NEED A SOLUTION FOR THE WIFI ,NOTHING WORKED!!it works sometimes,,,the problem is the famous problem of starting it,,,the lamp flashes but the tower doesnt show,,,!

i used every known rom and 2003se and wm5 nothing helped it works sometimes and someother times not,,,,,

it needs soft reset sometimes,,,and some times very resistant

my radio version now is 1.15 and 3.5.2 R5 wm5 and still sometimes i can start it and someother times i cant.....is there any fix for that?

i will sell my BA if i cant find one!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cyberjak:
I know excatlh the problem you mean as mine has done that for a long time. however, since I flashed Helmi's Wm6 rom mine hasn't done it again. it maybe the fix you need then again it may not depending on your device.

Mine is originally and Orange M2000 and prior to trying Orange's last official rom and t-mobile's latest rom as well it was still doing exactly as you described. make sure your moel is listed in helmi's description of compatable devices. and remember to do pim backup and backup you Storage arear before flashing as it combines internal storage to main memory in the wm6 rom

hope that helps
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] wheatfree:
I just got my BA a few days ago. Did the WM6 upgrade today, and the wlan was doing this.

I noticed that it was happening after I'd sync'd it and the wifi connection was disabled by ActiveSync. I went into the Connection Settings on ActiveSync on my computer (ver. 4.5) and checked the "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"

So far, this has worked. I've been able to sync my BA, disconnect, and reconnect to my wireless connection without having to do a reset first.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
This appears to be a bug in the ROM. Activesync on the phone doesn't always realize that the connection is gone and gets 'stuck' in a loop trying to sync to a now-missing computer. Closing activesync on the phone will also clear it and allow the wifi to work after syncing.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bug-i:
I have exactly the same problem, i think its an hardware error.

the problem started half a year ago with wm2003, yesterday i flashed wm6 but the bug still exists :mad:

after multiple switch on-and-off sometimes the wireless works, sometimes it takes just a while 5-10 minutes.

if theres somewhere a solution, please let me know
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jriquelme:
after a soft reset open CommManager, Setup, Wireless LAN an Select "TURN ON WLAN".

This dont conect.

But, after you do that, you can use te On/Off button of Wifi on te CommMannager with any problem...

You need to do this, only one time after a Soft Reset.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] P\LQA_&:
Can this be done via a script, reg key or even a Visual Basic App that opens the Comm Manager and the Wireless Manager and selects these in sequence? I have a profile switching software (PhoneAlarm) and it works a treat all for the activatation of WLAN. Sometimes it works fine, others, it doesn't.

As I am running WM6 and it's lovely undocumented feature (bug) of the time and password both being in volitile memory, each time I take my battery out, I have to rebuild the 'ken device as I cannot unlock the screen. I have resorted to using SPB backup nightly and a reboot after backup (as the device seems to work better with a daily reset (hey, it ain't stable yet - we are still waiting Billy)). This is where the Wireless issue comes into play.

Do I settle for Profile switching with wireless powering on correctly or do I backup my device and ensure that I am not re-imaging the stupid thing every day when I take out the battery! Mobile device - bulldust! Not very mobile when you have to keep it plugged in to ensure the battery doen't run out! My Laptop is more mobile!

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Pikku:
Hi there,

im no expert in these things, tho what I understood is there is no cable possibility to screen my yoga 2 on an external monitor cause of the lack of mhl.

I tried to figure out what this chromecast is about, but I guess screening sheets and calculations in the office might not be appropriate for this donglethingy. As well I dont feel like harressing the adminguy with including the chromecast in the company's local network.

Is there any possibility to work with my yoga 2 on a big screen here and then? Any workarounds or even mhl?:confused:

Regards
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jumpup:
I use a Google Nexus player, rooted with a Lollipop AOSP ROM. It's connected to the TV through HDMI.

My Yoga 2 is running the LL release. I use the Cast Screen function which finds the Nexus Player, sending the Yoga's display to the TV. It's real-time enough that none of the games or streamed media ever lagged.

With Chromecast, check the Google Play store. There are some apps designed to cast an Android device over the uPNP/DLNA type of connection that Chromecast likes.

For clarification, make sure both devices are on the same wifi router (and on the same frequency if you're using a dual-radio access point).
