the Note 3 seems a bit unstable. anyone else having stability issues?

many apps randomly crash. Craigslist C+ seems particularly unstable (and yet at times I can go half an hour no crash)

sometimes even components of the stock rom will crash.

I am rooted on MJ4 with xposed and some modules running. not much else really.

it also double boots and "upgrades" every single time I restart the device.

it will boot up say updating apps or something like that then boot again say starting apps and finished.

it does this every single time without exception.

any ideas?

I've experience double boots off and on even prior to rooting. Seems to be a bug that's plagued a lot of GN3 owners and there currently isn't much known as to what the root cause is for now. As for your other hiccups I'm thinking xposed is conflicting with a few things.

all of these issues predate installation of xposed. I always run my systems unmodified for a bit so I know if something I install is causing an issue.

App settings to put 320dpi unfriendly apps back to 480 wanam and app selector (so wonderful the jb method sucks)

As o said though the insrabilty predates xposed. I jave a feeling its android 4.3 since the issues are app specific.

Pro hdr is stuck at wide exposure

Craigslist c+ just randomly crashes

Starchart will move vertically but not horizontally

And of course the souble reboot thing.

Also bluetooth is funny. Sometines it simply will not transfer audio until I reboot.

Nope all play store installs. No backups or restores. I am tempted to wipe the system but am so sick of installing and configuring my crap :)

The double boot everytime is annoying too.

I already gave a potential fix on the double boot thing.

As far as the apps, I only see 2 of the 3 apps in the play store. Glance thru the reviews on them to see if others had similar issues.

If most of your other apps work just fine, I'd suspect the apps themselves not being updated.

What is the "wifi scanning crap"

Circle battery also crashes. It runs and works fi e but crashes if you try and enter settinfs.

Which one can you not find in app store? (Curious)

I just did the scanning fix. I didn't jump thru the other hoops with the SD removal and crap.


From another page on this issue: (there's several sites with this listed as the fix)

Problem 2: How to Solve Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Reboot Loop Problem
Plenty of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 users said on XDA-Developers forum that their devices occasionally enter a boot loop. Some reported their Note 3 would reboot while charging, plugging in or installing apps from the Play Store. However, the reboot loop problem is not really solved after a hard reset. The issue might be caused by the inserted micro SD cards, the apps installed on the handset or the antenna, because switching the device to Flight mode can be helpful in most cases.
Troubleshooting:
When your Galaxy Note 3 units experience the troublesome random reboot loop, you can remove the back cover and take out the battery. Then follow the steps below to uncheck the option “Always allow scanning” to handle the continuous reboot problem.
Pull out the SD card > Insert the Battery > Reboot the device > Go to Menu > System Setting > Wi-Fi > Menu > Advanced >Uncheck “Always allow scanning” > Use the back key to return to the home page > Power off the Note 3 > Insert the SD card > Install the battery > Replace the Note 3 rear cover > Turn on the device
Many people have managed to handle the Note 3’s reboot loop issue by following this troubleshooting.

Its called cpro craigslist client

Interesring. Turnkng off the wifi thing did not fix the problem but it did change it.

First I have never had my note 3 reboot on me. Ever.

Its when "I" reboot it. Or pull the battery etc..

It starts ul plays tje boot animation then I get the blue and grey android is upfrading box. Then it does the boot anim as tion again then theupgradint box again finished the. It loads.

Now it does the exact same thin sans the second playing od the boot animation.

Weird tryinfto upload a video my connecrion is being "annoying" with me :)

The double reboot and updating android issue most likely stems from an Odex/Deodex conflict. Deodex mods flashed or installed on an odex rom.
