Menu Grouping issues after reboot... - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello every1,
After installing all my apps on the Note 3 (N-9005) i grouped the apps in diff folders in the main menu...like all the browsers i installed like firefox, dolphin in a folder called browsers...but i am having a weird prob...the moment i restart the phone all the folders become empty and all the apps icon which i put inside the folders come out automatically!!

And one more thing.... am from india and am using a n9005..imported from the uk..now i have been trying to get the OTA update but all the time it says "latest updates already installed"(i have : baseband: N9005XXUBMI6;BUILD:JSS15NJ.N9005XXUBMI7... so do ineed to flash it manually via odin??
Can i use this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504604
and lastly what does BTU mean??????????
Plz help!!!
Thanks!!

Try using a different launcher.
Change the WiFi setting from 'Disconnect During Sleep: Always' to 'Never'. This will eat more battery, but prevents disconnecting. If it is already set to never, or it keeps happening regardless, you probably have a battery saver enabled.

There are more people reporting grouping issues on Touchwiz. Give another launcher like Apex or Nova a try. (no, you won't lose s-pen and gesture functionality)
As for the OTA, I do not know.

Official ICS Firmwares - Bugs List

Hi
Use this thread to list bugs you have found in Stock Note ICS 'LPY' firmware, and work-arounds you have discovered for them.
Feel free to include bugs in Apps that don't work quite as intended in ICS but did work fine in GB.
Nigel
1) Facebook (uses ICS Sync Mechanism). Sync's ALL facebook friends and not just those already in contacts even when option to 'Sync with existing contacts' is selected. Result is a load of contacts with photo/name only where folks have not included contacts info in their FB profile. Solution is not to sync contacts with FB!! Not syncing means you don't get the contacts pics (the main reason why I want to sync). There are some 3rd party FB pic sync apps, but I have not tried any of these with ICS as yet.
2) Font size used for name of apps under icons for apps is bigger than in GB. This results in app names wrapping mid word where the same app name fitted on a single line in GB. This can result in the final 1 or more letters in the name of an app appearing on a second line under the icon. It looks ugly.
3) The 'Select Input Method' prompt appears as a notification under 'ongoing tasks' randomly.
Email widgets can fail to update, lose their assigned accounts and lose the option to switch accounts. The only fix for the first problem is to scroll rapidly down the email list to force an update, the assigned account can usually be reset on the widget, but occasionally the widgets get locked and have to be deleted and regenerated.
Also, not sure if this qualifies as a bug or change in behaviour, but the way audio output is dealt with when bluetooth audio devices disconnect has changed. Whereas in GB, switching off eg. a bluetooth headset would stop any streaming audio, with ICS the audio continues, but is switched to the Note speaker.
ICS is rather a large jump isn't it? We only have one build. You should make this specific to LPY if you want, but having it just be for ICS bugs isn't very specific or logical. It's like saying: Bugs for GB! That's A LOT of builds. If you want this thread to be useful, make it more specific.
Experiencing Random screen flickers and pixel salad. Resolves by resetting or lockscreen. Not sure if it's Kernel related like custom kernels experienced in GB roms i.e. franco kernel v9. pls help to shed light on this?
S Planner
I have found a bug in my ICS LPY S planner package. I use it with exchange and the status is not properly synced with Exchange:
Note-----------------------Exchange
========================
Free-----------------------Tentative
Tentative------------------Busy
Busy-----------------------Out of Office
Not nice...
When the phone is connected to car dock and kept in horizontal position, if you recieve a call, the phone app force closes and you cant answer it.
Solution: Keep the phone in vertical position in the dock!!

Hi
I got this while playing with the face unlock stuff after the initial update. I did a hard reset to get shot of any left over junk, and have not re-enabled the face unlock, and have not seen the pixel-fest since. I suspect it was not using face unlock rather than the hard reset that sorted.
Nigel
Bugs I have found so far :
Phone does not connect to computer via KIES.
Many bugs using original car dock - phone app closes when dialing, calls dropped when using Bluetooth - I did not try vertical mode yet
Phone randomly stops entering deep sleep mode , BetterBatteryStats lists a kernel wakelock called : l2_hsic . This does not impact battery time by much, but still annoying
Phone randomly reboots while screen is off - but I had this in gingerbread too
In call log , when I clicked a number it used to show me all the times that number called, now it does not.
Sometimes the phone forgets the personal ring tone assigned to a contact and uses default ring tone
... that's all I can think of right now, the good side is the ROM is MUCH FASTER in touchwiz and other apps..

To those with sleep issues, have you tried full wipe then reinstall Apps? I had issues with not sleeping and battery life, but since hard resetting, thee phone sleeps fine. Its not as painful to do this with ics since it will auto reinstall apps. (Configure backup and restore in settings before reset). Its supposed to backup app configs as well, but I found this did not work (many apps have their own mechanism to backup their config)
Currently irritated to death by the random reboots while in sleep. Sometimes 18 hours apart... Sometimes 18 minutes apart.

On LPY stock but rooted.
By "Pixel salad" you mean multi coloured horizontal lines filling the screen up?
I got this when I woke my phone up and was about to unlock it (pattern lock) when I received a call...
I decided to swipe answer to see if it still functioned and it did...

It appears when the keyboard is displayed so that you can change keyboard if you wish, as opposed to using long press in GB.

having frequently used apps moved to SD card may cause random reboot. nothing to do with 'screen off' but worth checking.
I have no complaint about ICS except that the battery life is abysmal and the audio hiccup all the time.
I am currently on LPY. Wondering if you guys have the same issues. The audio hiccup is the most annoying. Don't know how to describe it. It's like music skipping while playing. It happened even on zPlayer and Poweramp so it's not stock music player dependent. At first I thought that my sd card is failing but when I tried to play it on my PC, all the music files played normal without any hiccups.
In my case I cannot use skype and I keep getting this error message "you cannot be signed in at this time. Please try again later". So far I have tried clearing app data, force closing, reinstalling and installing modded and older versions of skype and no luck still. Skype is running just fine on my laptop.
I am on rooted LPY.

I use "voice talk" when driving and often launch it by double clicking the home button. However I notice that every 2nd or 3rd time i launch it, the microphone doesn't respond (the blue concentric circles indicating sound don't move). Clicking done makes it ask to try again and the microphone works normally.

Use the widget and adjust brightness to very low. Now Open stock browser and set there the brightness to automatic. Go to a app like Facebook, tapatalk and open a Page where you get directed to the browser to open it. Press home button now. Go to the widget and press synchronization button on or off doesn't matter now you will see the brightness button that was black to jump from alone to auto. I guess that's the automatization process of Samsung.

HELP - Notifications not coming through when screen is off

Hi everyone,
I've been having a very strange problem for a couple of days now. Whenever my phone's screen is off and the phone has been idle for some time, I don't receive notifications anymore. Facebook notifications don't work at all, no matter whether the phone is active or not, but I also don't get FB Messenger and WhatsApp notifications. Sometimes they come through as soon as I turn on the screen, and sometimes I only see them when I open the respective app. I didn't mess with app permissions, and I also have set each app to "important" in the notification settings. It also doesn't seem to matter whether I'm on WiFi or on mobile data.
Gmail, SMS and calls don't seem to be a problem, although I sometimes have a feeling that emails come through to my phone with a considerable delay, as compared to my Gmail inbox on my computer.
The strange thing is, when I had the phone all new, everything worked as it should and I received ALL notifications from EVERY app IMMEDIATELY when they came in. This issue with notifications no longer coming through started occurring a couple days ago after I had first flashed the Boeffla Kernel (though I'm not sure if it has anything to do with that.) So I went back to the stock kernel, but the problem was still there. Then I re-flashed my original Nandroid backup from when I had first flashed TWRP, in order to set the system back to "stock", wiped data and cache, re-installed every app (the critical ones, i.e. Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp, via Play Store, and the non-critical ones via Titanium Backup), and the problem is still there. I've done this three times now, to no avail.
My phone is rooted and I have Xposed installed, I'm using SuperSU and a number of root apps such as 3c Toolbox, Le DPI Changer and Font Installer. 3c Toolbox is set to clear caches on every reboot. As for Xposed, I use only VibrateMode to change the notification slider from all/important/none to all/vibrate/none, and GravityBox to center the clock in the status bar and to set the volume buttons to skip tracks on long press. I also have Glimpse Notifications installed so that the screen lights up when a notification comes in.
The funny thing is, notifications not coming through is one of the reasons I switched to the OPT from the Huawei Mate 7, where this issue was due to power management settings by Huawei. Since I'm now back on the stock kernel and have also no power saving apps such as Greenify or Amplify enabled, I am really out of ideas as to why this happens. The next step is to flash a fully stock OOS 2.1.2 (my Nandroid backup is already rooted and with my Google account set up), wipe data and cache, and re-install every app again.
Does anyone here have any idea what the problem (and the solution to it) might be?
UPDATE: After I wrote the last sentence, I received two messages simultaneously, one from Messenger and one from WhatsApp. I was at home and on WiFi, and both coming in at the same time must mean that the phone receives push notifications in fixed intervals, since the sender of both messages was the same person and sent them consecutively, i.e. with at least a minute in-between. Now I am especially confused since a) they came through at all, even though the screen was off and the phone had been idle for at least 15 minutes, and b) they came through at the same time, which was definitely not the time when they had been sent.
The confusion is complete now ... any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The problem persists. Today for half a day I received all notifications, after that once again only when I turned on the screen or opened the respective app. WiFi all the time, no settings changed in between.
This really annoys me to no end. I don't own an expensive smartphone so it doesn't work as it should. I never had any troubles like this with my old Sony Xperia V. Then again it ate through a full battery in half a day ...
Are you sure you are not using any applications like greenify / amplify or powernap which would hibernate your applications ?

Yes. As I said, I reflashed my original (rooted but otherwise unaltered) Nandroid backup and then reinstalled all apps, and am not using anything that could interfere with apps receiving notifications.
The order in which notifications come through automatically vs. only when I activate the display or open the respective app also doesn't seem to follow any regularity ... sometimes it works as it should, sometimes it doesn't.
As for Facebook notifications, I somehow have a feeling this is a specific FB-related problem. But as for Messenger, WhatsApp and now also Instagram as I've noticed, it's all the same issue as described in my original post. The only exception really seems to be Gmail, which always notifies me of new emails.
EDIT: All these apps have unaltered permissions, i.e. are allowed to keep the phone awake, and all apps are set to "important" for notifications, so this doesn't seem to be the issue either.
EDIT 2: I also installed push notification fixer to see what interval is set for the GCM services, and it's set to 5 minutes on WiFi and 6 minutes on mobile data. So that also can't be the issue.
Could the screen not lighting up when a notification comes in have something to do with deep sleep, possibly? But then why does it work for Gmail???

I could suggest you one more thing. Its a shot in the dark .
Could you check "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" in you advanced Wi-Fi settings ?
If the above is not a problem then out of ideas buddy. As a last option you could clean flash by wiping everything and just install whatsapp and other apps in which you are facing a notification delay. If it works then there could be some other application interfering , it it doesn't then i am not sure what it could be.

i do remember reading some time ago that these intervals do not impact the battery life, but you could test for yourself just to be sure
So, currently most notifications are working again for me, for whatever reason. Facebook being the big exception, of course. Might have to do with keeping the apps opened in the multitasking overview. If that's what it takes, then fine ...
I've got a OPT for few day, i have same issue......anyone experience this problem? any solution? is it 2.1.2 problem?

Which app? Only Facebook, or other apps as well? For me it's working now, but I can't say why exactly. I use a number of tweaks on my phone (root, Xposed framework etc.) so I can't definitely say which of my apps cause issues and which fix them again.
As for Gmail, it appears that when there's already a notification for an email and a little later another one comes in, it won't play a sound or vibrate. That seems to be standard behaviour but I find it VERY annoying, even though I set Gmail to notify me on EACH incoming email.
despite suggesting a fix i seem to be experiencing the same problem as well. it happens on both wifi and mobile data so you cant blame any settings. my best guess would be its because of the latest update. gonna have to backup my data and revert back to the older firmware to solve this issue.
@vonotny have you found a solution? im experiencing the same problem after updating to 2.2.0

Not really, no. Mine are currently working again, after I re-flashed the stock system and set up everything again step-by-step. It's possible that some app or tweak or setting caused the issue, but I couldn't find out which one.

i suspected it could be because of restoring apps from titanium backup directly instead of downloading and installing them from the play store first, but even with that i still face the same problem. currently on oxyslim. come to think of it, could it be caused by the power tweaks? did you use them before when you faced the problem?
Same problem here on OOS3.0.1. Inbox and WhatsApp messages don't often come through until I turn on the screen. Completely stock. Didn't have the problem on CM13, I think. It's really annoying because I can miss a lot of important emails from work. Even put the apps I want in No Battery Optimization mode. No help really.
i have the same problem. I'm on OOS3.0.2 with Cyanoxy. Can anyone help?
Same problem here...
What the F?
This device is almost a year old and I still can't use it as PHONE. I am not asking for some fancy stuff, but fixing the gigantic bugs that are preventing me from even using this daily.
Fix for those willing to tweak the system: install the latest Boeffla kernel, it has an option to turn off doze.

Pro 5 notification issues

I got my pro 5 a week ago. All I can say is Flyme needs work... The phone seems to put all the apps on sleep mode and I don't receive incoming notifications for incoming emails or facebook or instagram. Anyone encounter this issue with not receiving notifications and is there a fix?
You might want to check what apps are allowed to run when the phone is in standby. You can find this in Settings/Power Management/Power Optimization/App Management
You are right. Flyme does have issues. It does not have a problem with its default apps. If you're using the default email app you will get notifications. But if you have loaded a third party email app it won't even do a sync unless you manually refresh. I know it's bull****. Also you have to use the on board music player otherwise if again it's a third party app after a few minutes it will go to sleep. I have changed it not to go asleep in power management but it won't make any difference and go to sleep mode after a few minutes. It's default apps won't sleep. Even youtube won't go to sleep which is a good thing especially if your streaming media through chromecast. And if your screens turned off it won't switch off. But flyme should fix this issue. I believe it's a major negative to the phones software.
Just long press app you want in recents window, it will lock it into ram... Works for me for viber, skype, fb messenger etc
I 'm just after 5 minutes I do not have to get notifications for example Gmail to see new emails that have come to me
any idea why this happens, and made ​​the necessary settings so that this does not happen and some app are running in the background or when the screen is off
but I have that problem , notifications do not work.
Hi, I own a pro 5 for almost a year but since last 4 updates, my phone doesn't ring when people calling. I think this is problem from software because I have Chinese version (A). Should I root it for G version? Will it solve the problem? Or should I put other rom on it? If so, how to do it properly and without taking the risk of breaking my phone? I really appreciate your help

Hello,
I advise you to update at last version of firmware and make a clean install.
1. Download lastest update for Meizu PRO 5 (A): http://firmware.meizu.com/Firmwa ... 61223864/update.zip
2. Put the zip file at the root folder of your phone.
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Boot the phone holding Volume UP + Power button
5. Check "System upgrade" + "Clear data"
Note: You'll lost all your data so, backup them before.
Hope it can help you.

Mate 8 shuts off off voice-apps overnight

Hello, fine sirs.
I am curious on whether or not you have experienced the issue of calling apps such as Whatsapp or Kakao Talk shutting down after a few hours of use?
I like to sleep with the app still on, but after say 3-5 hours it shuts off automatically.
The apps are white-listed and battery is set to Performance. Neither of these options seem to help.
I don't have any other battery-managment apps installed which may shut down my battery consuming apps.
Any ideas?
Edit: I realize now this question may belong to Troubleshooting subforum. =/ But until deleted, I'll keep an eye here! Cheers.

For example with L29C636B103 - L29C636B170 - L29C432B103 - L29C432B152 there are a lot of problems with notifications but when you will upadate to L29C432B170 - L29C636B180 - L29C10B170 it should working all perfect (except Viber maybe)

Hi, that's some very specific information you've acquired! My version is NXT-L29C432B170, therefore one of the ones you've listed as should be working.
Still, if I don't access my phone after 3-4 hours as to "tell" it I still use the voice program, it closes. Sadly.

Then you have to try the newest L29C636B180 rom... You can install very easy with dload method(without root or unlocked bootloader) but you have to know that you will loose OTA update, online themes and 3g - 4g icons only with data closed (when you activate data the icons working perfectly)... But whenever new update for your version(C432) show up you can install it back with dload method and everything will work again (OTA THEMES...)
I have B180 almost a month and everything working great (my version is C636) and notifications... Unless you will have to wait at end of May for B321 to come as update to Europe version (C432) Now only Chinese AL10 has get it....
It's critical to know that every time you update you will have to restore the phone (format) to make sure that everything is set up for andand with new version
I have the L29C636B180 update.
I will note: Notifications for applications are coming more frequently now.
I also note [on the bad side]: Two of my essential apps that rely on automation & wake locks are not functioning properly.
a) Applications are in Battery Manager β†’ Protected Apps
b) Applications are 'Allowed' in β†’ Ignore Battery Optimizations
c) Battery Power Plan: Performance
My 2 applications which relies on timers and wake locks to enable/disable certain features have noted. Their applications are being killed & restarted despite being "whitelisted". They are:
a) Silence Premium
b) Situations
I have a Oneplus One on Marshmallow 6 and this does not happen. What is wrong with Huawei? What is wrong with EMUI. I should not have decided to buy a piece of hardware with software from PROC.
Is someone @huawei actually trying to reach out and fix issues??

WhatsApp connectivity S8

Hey guys!
I just moved from a rooted LG G4 running Lollipop to the S8 Exynos. It really seems to be a great phone but I'm having issues with WhatsApp.
Sometimes I feel like the messages aren't really coming up in time, I can open the app and see no new message, close the app, open it again and it will reconnect and show me new messages.
It is even more noticeable while using the WhatsApp desktop program on Windows 10. I see a lot of yellow messages saying I'm not connected to the phone OR when I send a messages I see the "clock" instead of the single-double check right away.
My WiFi setting is set to "Always".
I'm not using any battery save option from the phone.
I installed Greenify (not rooted) but WhatsApp is not in the list to hibernate
Any ideas of what is going on? I didn't have this problem on the G4.
have you added whatsapp into the 'unmonitored apps' section in battery settings?
Can you check BBS and see if WA is using crazy amount of sensor usage? Mine is. I had to turn off battery optimization for WA to work.

I've been playing and trying to figure out what is going on. I found out that my phone is running on "optimized" and not in High Performance, Game or Entertainment. Do you guys think this has something to do with it? It shouldn't be this way right? I also have WhatsApp set to ignore any battery save option, according to the app options.
Also, yesterday I turned off my router. I received a message just before turning it off and I saw the notification on the Windows program like I usually do but it took a couple of minutes for the phone to let me know I received a notification, even though the phone had no connection to the internet. lol what?

I've been playing and trying to figure out what is going on. I found out that my phone is running on "optimized" and not in High Performance, Game or Entertainment. Do you guys think this has something to do with it? It shouldn't be this way right? I also have WhatsApp set to ignore any battery save option, according to the app options.
Also, yesterday I turned off my router. I received a message just before turning it off and I saw the notification on the Windows program like I usually do but it took a couple of minutes for the phone to let me know I received a notification, even though the phone had no connection to the internet. lol what?

BetterBatteryStats. No, you should be using optimized.

Thanks! I downloaded the app but I need to do the ADB thing and I left the USB cable at home lol (now I need to buy multiple ones and aren't cheap)
I also noticed that I do receive the visual notifications (like in the notification bar) but the sound and LED notification comes way later.
Anyone solve the sensor issues
I was finally able to solve this problem and decided to put how I did it in case anyone can benefit from it.
I did check that Whatsapp was listed as "Unmonitored apps" in the battery section of device manager, but still had the problem. After further internet research I noticed that people where pointing to the Android's Optimize battery section, which seems that is doing a very similar functionality but is accessed from a completely different place, so make sure Whatsapp is not being "optimized" from here either.
To find this section go to Settings-> Apps -> Click the 3 Dots menu in the top right -> Special access -> Optimize battery usage -> Select "All apps" from the dropdown menu. In here, make sure Whatsapp and any other app that you cannot risk to go to sleep unintended shows as disabled (not being optimized).
Hope this helps someone with this disconnections.
