Hey guys, I am having trouble getting through a single day lately. I don't recall exactly when it started, but the phone is only 6 months old so I can't imagine its a dying battery already. Today I am seeing the following. Screen brightness is at about 60%. I'm completely stock, unrooted...

Howdy all, now that we've had Lollipop for awhile, I am hoping against hope my unicorn can be realized. This would be a custom ROM that has the following: Based on stock, so WiFi calling works (simply a must for me, as my house is in a black hole of cell reception) Pure Lollipop...

Title says it all, really. My dream phone is stock Lollipop on the Note 4 hardware. However as I am in a black hole for cell service, WiFi calling is a must. Is there a ROM out there that is Lollipop (or at least Material Design themed) that maintains WiFi calling? Or would such a beast be...

Hey everyone, I encrypted my phone and installed MobileIron to get work email and calendar. Ended up removing it all and decrypting phone after a few weeks. Since then, my phone isn't locking when the screen times out. If can be sitting with a black screen, but soon as I touch the home button...

Hey everyone, this a hybrid Note 4/Google Photos question. If this isnt an appropriate place to ask, I understand and this post can be locked. I recently came from the Note 3, which I loved in every respect except build quality. I had a buddy of mine looking to upgrade to the Note 4 as well...

Running Alliance ROM in the stock slot. If so, any suggestions? The cheapo "Samsung" batteries on Amazon all have horror stories. Anker? Anyone tried it with the Note 3? Thanks! Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app

So screwed... My Note 3 suddenly wont charge. 70% of the time it doesn't recognize that a charger has been connected. 30% of the time I get an error saying its not charging to protect the phone, and I need to use my original charger. Of course, this is WITH the original charger and cable. I...

Howdy, I have a wallpaper that I am trying to use on the lockscreen and homescreen. It looks perfect on the lockscreen but when I unlock the phone the homescreen version is zoomed/cropped a bit. Maybe 20-30 pixels on each side? Hard to tell exactly how much, but its enough to render this...

Simple question. Do you rock a case on the Note 3, or are you running it raw dog style? I've now tried two cases, the Spigen Neo Hybrid and the UAG. Didnt like the Spigen at all. Love the storm trooper look of the UAG but that thing is nearly impossible to remove and it doubles the thickness of...

Hey everyone, I picked up a Note 3 today and I'm trying to prep the Note 2 for Swappa. I reformatted the SD card and did a factory reset in TWRP. It appears all my apps and data are gone, but are they REALLY gone? Am I safe to go ahead and sell the Note 2, rooted with TWRP/Beans 23...

Good evening... so I picked up a shiny new Note 3 today, and spent all night rooting it, installing SS, Beans 6, and setting up all my apps and whatnot. Not sure how I didn't notice it before, but suddenly I've just realized the power button sticks if pressed just so. Appears to happen when...

Hi all, Phone was plugged in overnight, though it doesn't seem to reflect that here. That being said, I am still mystified by this battery life chart. Any ideas??? Thanks Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

Is this app even pushing 720p?? It looks more like the HQ you get on 3G instead of the HD on WiFi. I have the WiFi only N7. Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Howdy, This may be a dumb question but is there no contextual menu in stock Android? I know that many apps have the icon that is three vertical dots but on my Note 2 I can bring up a menu in any app by pressing the the menu nav button. I know that's a Samsung button, but is that entire pop up...

Good evening all, so we have about a month til Sammy announces and/or releases the next in the Note series. I am trying to tell myself its not worth upgrading, but part of me REEEEALLY wants that luscious 1080p screen (not that ours is bad, but you know, MOAR PIXELS!). The rumored 8 core CPU...

Ok, I am kinda peeved right now. I bought a Diztronic TPU case shortly after purchasing my Note 2. The thing is just so slippery it screamed for grippy rubbery case. Fast forward a couple months and here I am taking my case off to clean out any dust inside it, only to find tiny pock marks...

Hello! My wife and I both have Note 2's and she wants to sell hers to get an S4 instead. We are both rooted and running TWRP recovery and JellyBeans. The buyer of her Note 2 wants us to leave it rooted and running the most current Beans ROM, but we of course want all her data removed...

Howdy all, Pardon me of this is common knowledge. I've never seen it before and I dont see anything posted when I search. I may not be using accurate terminology. TL;DR version is I restored my phone from a nandroid backup. I see now I have a folder called "0" and within it is all my old...

Howdy! I am suddenly experiencing a delay with WidgetLocker. When I hit the power button to wake my phone there is a 1-2 second delay with the clock. It doesn't sound like a lot but it takes a millisecond to check the time. I have never seen this before and its a really jarring experience to...

Howdy, Question about YouTube on the Note 2. Is there some reason it buffers constantly for some vids but not others? For example HD gameplay videos from Matroix (Call of Duty vids) buffer ever few seconds, while HD vids from Marques Brownlee (MKBHD - Android and tech vids) not only don't...

Hey all Does anyone else get a lot of hissing in the background when using headphones on the Note 2? If I have my ear buds plugged in, the second I load an app with audio like Google music, it kicks in. When playing Audible.com books or listening to quiet tracks on an album like the Skyrim...

Hey all, I am having a couple odd issues with my Note 2 when running Chrome. Well, the stock interwebs app too actually. When I go to nbcnews.com I get the mobile site, which is fine, but I can't click on anything. When I try to view a story it just highlights the link in blue but doesn't...

OK, I have a noob question. Is internal storage truly wiped completely when doing a wipe before installing a ROM? I mean say that's your only storage and you have a nandroid on it. Would you lose that? If so, how would people with sealed and non-upgradeable storage ever create and preserve a...

This may be a dumb question, but when/how would you use titanium backup? I've been reading threads, looking for a good first ROM, and I am surprised to see several of them (CM, AOKP, others) say NOT to restore data from a Titanium backup after installing their ROM. Well... then... whats the...

Howdy all, I am looking at the Crash ROM for my Note 2, mostly because it seems to be the best at supporting the S-pen and the features that make the Note 2 more than just an oversized S3. Question though... I cant find anywhere that states if the ROM does or does not support the Verizon...

Hello! I just got home with my bright and shiny Note 2. A few things, such as the gray status bar, have made me decide to root and install a custom ROM. This is something I haven't done since the OG Moto Droid. I stupidly accepted the recent OTA without thinking about it, but I found...

Good evening (or rather, early early morning), I have recently purchased a Galaxy Nexus and love it, except for one thing. When using the browser, or other apps with mostly white UI's, the screen dims by about 10-15%. I have auto brightness turned off, and the backlight set to about 80% (I...
