Note 3 black screen and freezes, something seems corrupted after reboot

Hey guys, got a serious problem on Note 3 N9005.
This happens to me 2-3 times but it's really annoying.
When I use my phone like normal, the phone suddenly won't light up the screen, so I have to get it rebooted.
After reboot, my Evernote seems corrupted, it log itself out, and won't let me log-in again saying "no internet connection"
However the internet is fine, the weird part is, I can never get it work again, including clean cache and reinstall the software.
The only way to solve it seems to be wipe everything and re-flash a ROM.
It seems like some permission or file system problem to me, could anyone provide some thought to get it solved? Thank you!
You find fix yet having same problems

Phone does not start after reboot on jamal2367 ROM, S4 GE Final-R4

Hi all,
I have this annoying issue with [AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R4 from jamal2367; current baseband installed XXUFNA1.
Problem:
When the phone loses connection, it dies. Then there is no way I can turn it on.
if unplugged from the power: it starts to boot and it dies again, sometimes at the "samsung boot text", sometimes a bit ahead, but it does not go further than the animated logo with 4 coloured bouncing balls (it does not matter how many time I try to restart the phone)
If plugged: it survives the first part of the boot most of the time, but it loops into the animated logo with the 4 coloured bouncing balls and the phone does not start.
Solution:
Every time I have to re-install Android, by:
- deleting Dalvik, Data, System, Cache.
- Install the ROM
- Apply a factory reset
At this point, if connected to the plug, the phone starts, but I have to go through the manual installation process.
This is a bit annoying I have to admin, anyone with this kind of issue, or am I the only one?
A few more info:
Phone was working great with jamal2367 4.3 (don't remember the baseband)
After 4.4 was out I installed it, but it was booting every 5 minutes or so, I decided then to go back to 4.3.
When I went back to 4.3, baseband was changed, but I kept the hold one.
Phone started to have random reboots as well, but once every 3-4 days, so I was ok with it.
4.4 releases were progressing so, after a while I decided to put it back.
I had the problem described above with previous (recent) baseband (like ml6and mj6).
Now I have the latest, but I have got the problem anyway.
A wild guess:
The phone now charges very quickly, I am wondering if the percentage that I see is realistic. Maybe it runs out of battery, which it could explain why the phone dies on reboots, but it does not explain why it loops once plugged in and why it does not turn off normally instead of just dying with a blink of an eye.
mmm that should not be the reason
Another wild guess:
I couldn't target a specific application. Sometimes it dies using fb, sometimes maps, sometimes hangout, sometimes a after a long phone call. The first two have "location" active, but I don't think that the last two are using it.
mmm that should not be the reason either.
A consideration:
I have noticed that once Android is installed, the phone signal is quite good, but then it goes down to one or two lines only. Most of the time I have one line only (in my area) and when it disappear, 6 times out of 7 it dies.
Thanks in advance.

did you try battery calibration?
also format everything in recovery before flashing,that should do the trick..
or maybe try another rom,if you still have issues then you may have to take it to Samsung care

Well, when I delete Dalvik, Data, System and Cache, I do it once I am inside _teamwin recovery_, I can also think about another ROM, but the one from jamal2367 is quite popular and I find it weird that no one else have the same issue.
Thanks for your reply though.

Same problem here...
I fixed it by flashing the stock image from samsung, and start all over again with cf_root and recovery. I use CWM, but that dont matter I think.
Loving my 4.4.2 Rom by Danvdh atm!
Good luck!

Thanks,

mmm there must be some way. With the latest R1.1 I cannot even answer a phone call, with Ktoonsez's Kernel, with Alucard's Kernel no button works.
:-O
mmm also installing 4.3 back gives me random reboots. I am wondering if it could a wrong baseband.
it worked perfect for me for some hours. when i deactivated some bloatwares (g. earth, g. music, ...) it crashed and stucks in a loop reboot & crash at googke logo. swipe cache or wait some minutes don`t change anything.
i tried everything, now i have no idea what to do
I installed CyanogenMod and it is more stable. However it cannot do what is supposed to do, make and receives phone calls.
I wonder if it is a baseband issue, now.

Same issue if I put back Jamal [AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.1,mmm, maybe the kernel....
The last thing I can say about it is that also all the sounds are gone. I cannot reproduce any sounds, notifications, alarm etc., it does not work on videos either.

[Q] Help. Please. Rooted s4 to custom ro

Hello,
I recently rooted my sgs4 gt-i9505 to the goolge edition using a YoTube tutorial on how to do so. Everything worked fine at the start but when I tried to install the PAC man rom, it jus stayed in the loading screen.
I restarted and tried rebooting but to no avail. I went back into the recovery mode and wiped the phone (divlac, cashes and system) then I reinstalled the google rom to find my wifi was not working. I tried the same process again, wipe- reinstall. Now I can't receive calls, the wifi doesn't work, home button only works on double tap, pull down status bar works but nothing in displayed.
My question is, does anyone have any ideas on how I would return my device to normal or know a full proof recovery and rom I can use that will correct these problems.
I am in the UK if that makes any difference.
Thanks for all and any help.
Matt

You could try to go back to stock and check if everything still works there.
Did you flash the correct modem/baseband for the ROM / your carrier? There is a thread in general for all the modems. Chances are with a KitKat ROM you need to update your modem. Read that thread and give it a go. The file is about 15mb and takes a minute to flash in Odin. Failing that go back to stock.
Nothing in status bar: that's what it looks like in stock, you can use 2 fingers for the quick settins. Installl WANAM XPOSED fromwork for more tweaks and options!!
Home button double tap: that's the way it works on the google edition, that's just it. BUT wanam xposed can change this with the Gravity Box module!! You could try the Echoe 2.2 kitkat rom it has xposed pre-installed.
Keep in mind things look blanker and less functional as you no longer have samsung touchwiz which adds a LOT of stuff to the stock experience!
One more thing: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING at all, you never know when you will need it. Backup the nandroid to your PC also just in case, things go missing/ get deleted! T

[Q] Help me pls, no phone signal

Ok, I was running PA 4 Beta3 but was having problems with the screen delay so thought I would completly wipe my phone, fresh install PA and install the mini Gapps (I had prev installed the stock but didnt want all the apps)
Here is where it started to go wrong, Phone would not start ptopery, would get past animation screen but that was it, would then just crash with small date in corner.
Wiped and flashed just the Rom and this also failed.
Wiped and installed 3.99 and this seem to work but then the wizard crashed and I had to power down.
Booted back up into recovery and dirty flashed Beta 3 again and this seemed ok. Flashed Stock Gapps and rebooted.
All apps have installed again, titanium back has been run but I still have no network what so ever.,
If i go into settings, more, vpn, mobile networks I get 'unfortunately settings has stopped'.
I have dirty flashed again but still have same problem.
I cant do a complete wipe and install again as need to get out of the office, however with the prev problems I had I am weary about doing so.
Can anyone shed any light on any of the issues i had at all?

Sounds like a radio issue. If you are running 3.99, you need the radio for 4.3 which I do believe 3.99 is based on. You need the radio for KitKat when running the new betas.

This is the easiest way to flash a new radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607221
If you went up to a 4.4 based rom and it changed your radio to .97 or .98 then you'll need to flash back to a .84 or before.
to go back to 4.3.
I think I basically said that. Sometimes I believe in not holding hands and let the guy/gal do some of the, legwork.

Thank you every one. I have reverted back to my recovery and all is well but I don't understand why when I flash the ROM ad gapps it happens. My recovery is the same ROM and gapps. No idea.
Oh well stuck with the screen delay for now!

Hi mate, thanks for this. I have reflashed my phone again and still have the same problem. My baseband is showing as 84 though s that is correct?
EDIT, dont worry a reboot has fixed this issue. Odd.
Thanks again though.

[Q] Why does my Wifi & Bluetooth not working even with stock rom?

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!
Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?
Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.
wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.
Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
