[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickhash:
Hey,

I have the same problem, the phone just restarted on it's own yesterday, restarted again and is now stuck at the bootlogo.

Wiping Cache and Dalvik on it's own doesn't suffice, Wiping the system partition too (TWRP) gets the phone to boot, but it will restart again after a couple of minutes, again stuck at the boot logo.

I'm using the limbean ROM.

shadnixx, wiping the system partition does not mean that you're going to loose your data - you should try that, after the factory reset the phone is usable for a couple of minutes, I will now try to flash a newer ROM and gapps, maybe the problem will go away with that.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadnixx:
Thanks for replying. I can't wipe the partition. That requires that I get into recovery, right? I can't even get into recovery. TWRP loads for just 1 second and then the phone reboots.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logosA:
have you tried to reinstall TWRP recovery? Maybe yours is corrupted, try to flash the latest version again. If that help you boot in recovery, things will be easier to haddle after.

Yeah I already tried that. Thanks though
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Option58:
[MENTION=7709426]shadnixx[/MENTION] Well use every possible way to flash and enter custom recovery. Try Philz, TWRP, CWM, everything...

If everything fails you'lll have to reflash Stock ROM using Odin. I've heard is wipes data but not internal storage but I'm not sure and don't balme me if it happens. Search xda a little.

See these threads: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2583588

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121817

If that fails then the phone has hardware damage I think. Needs to go to service.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadnixx:
Thanks for your reply. That's what I'm trying to do. One question... do I have to have a specific CWM version that is compatible with my ROM?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadnixx:
Progress

OK, while flashing TWRP failed to help, flashing Philz Touch enabled me to get into recovery. I was able to mount the external SD card and browse the files, but the real problem is with the internal storage, since the SD card is removable. I couldn't manage to mount it. Can someone help with that?

Wiping the cache partition didn't help either.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You tried different tar versions of twrp?

What is the error message in Odin when trying to flash twrp?

Tried flashing twrp with different USB cables and USB ports?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadnixx:
I'm sad to report, after I wiped the cache and restarted my phone, Philz would behave like TWRP did, which is to load for 1 second then reboot. Yes, I tried 4 different versions of TWRP, same result. Odin doesn't give any errors. It says that flashing was successful. Tried different cables and ports too, yes.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Possible power button or battery problem?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadnixx:
Don't think so. I just replaced the battery... still same problem. And when I enter Odin "Download" mode, it doesn't keep restarting, so I don't think it's the power button.

I got a small update though...

Flashed another version of philz, which works every time I boot to recovery. A few problems though...

1. I can wipe cache partition, no problem. But When I try to wipe Dalvik, the phone reboots as soon as I try.

2. Aroma file explorer doesn't show any files.

3. I can mount external SD, but I can't mount internal storage

4. When using ADB, it could finally initiate pulling files from the internal storage (or that's what it appears to be doing), but only while on recovery mode. A few seconds after it says "listing files" or something, the phone reboots and the ADB operation aborts. It doesn't behave like this when I access other sections of philz recovery.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadnixx:
Another small update...

While using philz, I clicked the "install zip from sdcard" and it showed my folders. I think my files are intact, but I guess I can't be certain.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadnixx:
Small update again...

I flashed Aroma File Explorer from Philz, I managed to enter my internal storage browse around for a bit, but then the phone rebooted again. I tried to repeat so I could copy my internal storage, but now my internal storage says symlink error.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Option58:
Listen up - Transfer any ROM to your external SD card, touchwiz based to avoid any complications if you can.

When you get into recovery (at least on TWRP 3 on my Galaxy Note 2 LTE this works) you can connect your phone to PC and transfer all the files, it just gets recognised.

If that fails then wipe /data and /cache partition and see if it boots. If that fails/succeeds then try to flash new ROM and wipe /data and see if it will boot. Data is not the same as internalSD. Data is your apps and settings, you can reinstall that later. InternalSD is your pictures and all. You want your pictures, not your apps, right? It is different.

But who knows what happened here. Malware? Corrupt partition? Hardware failure of some kind? Don't blame me if flashing a new ROM breakes everything even more.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadnixx:
I'll try that, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] balel333:
Hello,

since Android 6 on my SGS7 i have a strange problem: Dropbox uploades some ot the images/videos again und again.

I installed a md5sum-app and something on the smartphone makes changes to the images from time to time. Sometimes there are changes on metadata, sometimes the content of the file changes too.

Then i have 2 picture on my computer in the dropbox camera-upload-older. For example: "xxx.jpg" and "xxx-1.jpg" up to "xxx-7.jpg" for older images.

This happens after viewing pictures or after turning the phone on (its turned off (shutdown) while i am working), also when i didnt view photos on the phone.

i use google photo viewer and samsung stock gallery app.

A reset and complete new start with the phone didnt help. I didnt notice this on SGS4 to SGS6.

Has someone an idea, how i can prevent changes on my images on the phone?

Best regards, A.

Hey Guys,

Just wondering which CPU you prefer? Im currently based in Hong Kong. I have owned a Note 3 & 4 both which had Exynos processors. Just got a Note 4 last week and to my surprise it came with the Snapdragon. So far seems to run well. Ive heard in general most people say the Snapdragon is better for multimedia / gaming while the Exynos is better for multitasking / running apps etc.

What are everyones thoughts? Would you prefer 1 over the other?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
Having used both versions of S7, Exynos any day. Better audio output, better battery life, snappier ui experience.

It's the whole overall feel of the phone which makes me glad that officially I will be getting Exynos note 7 in my region.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I agree on all the above having had both versions of the note 7.

Not to mention the snapdragon versions are bootloader locked and exynos is not. The snapdragon version is a waste of money more or less for many here on xda due to the locked BL.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
Exynos is much better.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
You'll find mostly through out this forum that Exynos is #1
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] phame:
Thanks for the replies guys! I guess i kind of got the short end of the stick then. As mentioned I have been living in Hong Kong for the past 10 years. Ive had almost every note (Except the 2 & 5) and have always lucked out with the Exynos. For some reason with the release of the note 7 here they decided to sell the Snapdragon version. I have no idea as to why, as normally all past devices from samsung (even the s7) comes with the exynos.

For whatever reason though for the Note 7 both Hong Kong & China apparently got the SD 820. Oh well...Im still happy with it and haven't noticed any issues yet (4th day using it). Batter life seems fine...device runs cool and seems smooth and responsive. That being said my last phone was a Note 4 so this is my first upgrade in about 2 years.
[Android Head-Units] raptor18:
As i understand it, almost no Android head units displays metadata when streaming music over Bluetooth to view artist name and song name.

Is there really no fix for this as Dynavin N6 (WinCE) does this. It should be a basic function for android.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planb234:
I'm having permission issues with root on marshmallow. Permissions are fine until I root. After root I can not use new apps that need permissions for contacts, storage, or gallery. The apps given permission before root work until I plug in USB storage then it blows out anything needing permission for storage including stock system apps such as gallery and file explorer. It says screen over lay detected turn this off in app settings but turning then off or on doesn't work. Has anyone figured out how to fix?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezar:
You need to turn off permission to overlay the screen on apps that overlay the screen, such as Lux, LMT, cf lumen, etc. prior to attempting to changing permissions on contacts, gallery, etc. Then turn the overlay permissions back on

This is a security measure to prevent what I think is called tapjacking where you can be fooled into tapping something you didn't want to.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Agreed. I've also noticed sideload applications won't install if Lux is enabled.

I didn't try the overlay disable but unchecking the enable in Lux did the trick.

If anyone has a functional Sleep List for Lux that works to avoid all these issues, please share. It seemed to work the first time sideloading an app but now it doesn't work anymore. I've had to resort to disabling Lux to sideload.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planb234:
I'm clueless on how to turn those off. It says overlay detected and does to app defaults but no amount of turning them off or on fixes the problem. You may be right about the tapjacking because it happens when I have changed our added nothing. It has happened since the last time I restored. The only thing I have done different is not ran greenify.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacLad:
Hello Experts,

Plz anyone can help me with my S3. My s3 is not starting up. I first thought it might be a problem in port so showed to my technical guy but he told mi its working alright then i changed the battery. It started one time for just 5 secs samsung logo animation and got so hot and suddenly shut down. Now when i try powering it on it don't start. I several time tried to plug the charger but is just gets hot on the upper part(i.e. near the camera, flash and speaker). I can't go to samsung care as i don't thing they could do anything. is there anyone who can help me with that...PLEASE

THANK YOU in ADVANCE:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
What did you do that caused this issue to start? You flashed something or modified something, what was it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacLad:
I didn't flash it nor did any modification....i waas planning to flash that ..but didnt tried anything with it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
You rooted it or something, stock devices don't just start heating up like that unless you're using it heavily while it is on charger.

Or the battery you got isn't right, is the replacement battery rated higher than the one that was in it?

The problem is something you changed or did somewhere.

Regardless, try booting to download mode and flash the stock firmware, if its a software problem that might help, if its hardware you'll have to have hardware repaired or replaced.

Hi Guyz,

As i dont like change a lot, I am on the system requirement analysis, of Project "iChange"

I have selected the language, I am gonna use use PPL (pocket programming language)

I am little bit confused that i should use Database, As my plan is to have at least 5 different ringtone, so my application can change them, Timely..

I have planned for SQLite, i wanna know that is there need of Data base or not. yup that is all depend on me, but what about your suggestions..

Is SQLite is compatible to PPL or not...

Kindly suggest..

ya it is little bit awkward, as people know there phone by there ringtone.

But I hate change a lot, and i wanna change my this habit. So I am on this project.

Along this post i am registering this project to google code, so that i can invite some free software culture people..
[General Topics] hanmin:
Not much help from me. However, some $0.02

[1] 'iChange' is probably not the best name you can get for the project. Being relatively related to 'i'-you-know-what is an issue.. but it also have like a few other products with the name. Google it.

[2] Getting a database to store information on the ringtone may be a bit overkill. Unless someone has like a 1000+ ringtone to be organized and.. queried.

[3]. I'm a bit confused that you.. actually said that people recognise their phone by the ring tone and you hate changing it.. hence making this project? confused
[General Topics] the.reverser:
Please suggest about the name,

even second point is true, thanks a lot for suggestion.

about 3rd point, I am quite resistive to change, but i dont wanna be, so making this Application...

I hope that i made that clear..

name is a personal preference. can't suggest much to you. keep iChange if you want.

The day after i ordered Samsung made the recall announcement but the phone had already been dispatched, I now either use it and hope for the best due to it only being 35 devices so far or i pay again for shipping, custom charges etc. Taking all that into account getting it replaced would cost nearly £850 :(

I guess the question is are you prepared to gamble with a possible fire or worse. Please keep in mind that if you did have a fire etc it may not only be you that is harmed but your family. If you live in an apartment you may risk the safety of other residents.

Samsung would not have made this recall unless it was 100% necessary, this goes without saying as the damage done to Samsung both financially and reputation wise is simply staggering. This disaster even affected Samsungs share price on the stock market!

I guess you could gamble if it where your life but its not, if this devices goes bang it could affect others and for that reason alone I returned mine as soon as the news broke. Be responsible please.

Honestly speaking, I had my doubts about the initial reports. Because the photos showed units without the Samsung logo. Then this Australia case reported earlier today.
