I have the same problem here with flash player update. I had to completely remove it, reboot my defy and install it again from the playstore. After that I made a backup with Titanium backup for just in case. Have no idea why's this happening.

OMG!!!
why this is happening ??!!!

I had a similar issue when I used the officially provided Froyo: not only updates, but some apps themselves disappeared after each reboot, besides other nasty bugs. Got rid of problems when I moved to Cyanogen Mod.

Use Titanium Backup, long press the newly updated adobe flash 11 and select integrated to rom. This will made the adobe flash as rom files and it will never get erased again after reboot.

Samsung keyboard on stock kitkat not working?

If I flash stock kitkat my Samsung keyboard won't work (force closes over and over).. I've no problems with any custom roms, on sweetrom now with no problem.. It's not a massive issue but it's annoying me! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it?
P. S- installing SwiftKey etc isn't fixing it..

You may need to do a full wipe when you flash stock, it's possible something has corrupted somewhere along the line.

Yeah I've tried all the usual tricks, re - downloaded stock from several places with no luck.. It's baffling me..

Format all your data in system via CWM - then reinstall your ROM from scratch, it'll fix any coruption issues. ->>> Important >>> Make sure you make/get a PIT file for your device before you change anything in case you need to sort your partitions out for a reflash

I'll give it a try thank_you...

Nope still got the same problem.. Must be some weird conflict with my phone that I can't pin down.. Like I say I'm on a custom rom anyway but it irritates me because I know it's still there...

How bizarre , I'd stick with the custom ROM for now just in case something else gets crazy corrupted - This Kitkat stuff atm is causing havoc all around.

Yeah I think you're right, maybe different batches of phones and buggy kitkat are causing problems for a few of us? It'll all get ironed out in the end hopefully..

I got the same problem. KitKat update failed in the end and had to CF_Root in order to boot up.
Action Memo (with pen) are not working for me as well. It is all linked with Handwiting somehow.
Is your Action Memo broken also ?
The only thing that I didn't do is Wipe Data/Factory Reset in Recovery mode.
Did you try that ?

got the same problem as yours, no idea why though, after the update samsung keyboard and action memo stopped working.
I think I will wipe it tomorrow but it seems it's not working either

I'm checking around and they say that problem probably lies in the application S Pen Keep, there is no data on this one ... I guess as you said it's linked to the handwriting recognition. tried to do that using Snote transform into text as well and it immediately stopped working as well..

For time being I'm using different keyboard and I like it better than stock one. I really don't want to wipe a phone. Takes so much time to install everything back.

Did u guys intentionally or unintentionally uninstalled Samsung apps? From what I've understand, certain Samsung apps needs to be either freeze thru TB or disable it...

Haven't touched it. I've upgraded to KitKat without updating a bootloader and it happened.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

same here, got the OTA update, after that it simply stopped working.. I don't need the keyboard .. I need the action memo more

Mine still isn't working, I'm on omega rom now so it doesn't affect me, but it still does it if I flash stock... Strange..

try to download another stock rom? maybe that will fix it.. if it did .. let us know... try to download the newest one that came up in Poland..

mine got fixed by formatting and wiping, re-download another stock rom I guess yours has some form of data missing ..
@Colide , just go back to factory settings , will resolve the issue, do it from the recovery of course.

I kinda hate it to wipe data. Lot of apps to reinstall. Thanks for a tip. ?

G2 rebooting once a day

Hello G2 users,
like mentioned in the thread title, my G2 is rebooting at least once a day.
Is there any way to find out what is causing this, or do I have to do a wipe?

Are you on stock, unrooted or custom rom? Try factory reset if you haven't try it yet.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app

Ahh, forgot to mention, I am on stock 4.4.2 rooted with Xposed Framework and a few modules.
I am a bit afraid of a factory reset, as I do have my G2 how I want it to be, would be a lot of work to get there, where I am now.

Use the built-in backup utility to backup your whole system, copy the file to your computer, then do a factory reset. After going through the initial setup, copy the file back to your phone and restore.
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app

Sounds like your Xposed Modules are probably causing it.
I only use G2 Xposed module. It seems to do pretty much everything you need.
That or you have Facebook install or some other app that is killing you. I agree with a wipe. Then take it slow when restoring apps. Run bare for a few days with just basic core apps. Then install Xposed and G2 Xposed. Tweak it and run it for a few days. Slowly add in a few apps at a time until you find the one that is doing it.
Some people have said Swype Keyboard was causing reboots.

I had this too on KitKat never used xposed or anything like that. I am rooted though. The last_kmsg log shows an error that seems to be related to some sort of logging. Disabling this option in kernel can stop the reboots but need to build a modified kernel for that. I could be totally wrong like but that's just from my reading up...

Thank you guys, I am sadly not skilled enough to build a kernel, and already tested a lot of things, but I guess that I have to bite in the sour apple and do a factory reset

May i help you ? I can image how annoying it would be. You can start sending me the last_kmsg file . Just install a terminal emulator and type this commands after an unexpected reboot
su
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
Then you could also record the logcat and send me that too(you can use catlog for that purpose)

Hey mate nice to see you here!
I had the idea to post this in your thread first, but decided to start a new thread as I know that you do have a lot of work and didn't want to bother you .
Great, I will install an emulator on my G2 (any recommendations?) and send you the ksmg file.
Thank you in advance!

are you running stoc or custom kernel?

@danial,I am running stock kernel.

I believe it's an android kitkat thing. It's partook the 4.4.3 change log to fix the random rebooting issue

Same here...only quadrant 21126

honestly it happened to me too on my d803... just like once every 24 hours... somewhere randomly the phone will reboot :S.... could not find a pattern why it was...
but after installing simple kernel now its happening once every two days or so... no idea if it is the kitkat bug or what...

OK, tried everything now, deinstalled SwiftKey, other kernels, other rom, factory reset....
Still rebooting, yesterday during a call, I guess my G2 won't survive long, while every reboot I have to count until 10 to prevent me from smashing it on the ground .
Thinking about a new smartphone, maybe a Nexus 5....

Now I'm on slimkat and i have 0 reboots atm, the dev say that is fixing the issue on next build for sure, and it have only minor issue like BT drain also if not paired and other small things that will be fixed asap. Btw I understand you but better battery life is keeping me on this phone atleast until N6 appear on market.

Didn't you lost the SIM signal within the reboot? I have this problem...

Strange apps appeared

Hi everybody, I noticed just now that these four applications have appeared, I never install by myself, they can not be uninstalled (they seem to be system apps), the device isn't rooted I do not understand how they can be installed.
I think they are comes from the last OTA update that I made tomorrow morning (ND3)
Nobody knows what they are?
Thanks in advice and sorry for my bad English.

As freegalaxy stated, best bet if your not rooted is to disable the apps on the apps manager, i usually get 2 or 3 bloatware apps on the RU firmaware and since im not rooted i pretty much just disable those apps and i dont need to worry anymore.

Did you change the CSC?
when you change the CSC some new apps may appear.

MIUI for Note 3 - Talk & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I installed the official MIUI 4.7.4 build on my Note 3 N9005, all I get is a black screen after a reboot. I can get to Downloadmode and CWM recovery, so I got that going at least ^^
Things I have done:
- Flash via CWM
- I did the regular wipes and clearups
- I waited about an hour for the first boot, but nothing
- 2 restarts with 30 minutes waiting time for boot each, but nothing
- Installed it again after wiping a second time
The version is for N9005 (which I have), so this couldn't be the problem either. The downloaded file is also complete and not corrupted or anything. What did go wrong?
Edit: Solved. Philz Recovery was required for install.

Yeah, I read that too somewhere. I will report later if it worked with Philz Recovery
Edit: Awesome, it worked!
To anyone encountering the same issue: Replace your CWM recovery with Philz Recovery, and install MIUI with Philz Recovery...then it should work!
You will be stuck in the bootanimation after the MIUI install, wait 10-15 minutes first, if nothing happens, just press and hold the Power-off button until the phone shuts down and restarts again. Then MIUI shouldn't be stuck anymore.
First impressions: Bloody brilliant! Everyone loving a beautiful lightweight Android should get MIUI!
Everything seems to work fine. Make sure you install Google Apps alongside MIUI.
Samsung features: S Pen works perfectly, you just won't see the floating pointer indicating where you are. As it is the first version, it will be only a matter of time seeing MIUI builds with that kind of adjustments for the Note 3 So exited!

to have S pen and all it´s glory we need a ported version of MIUI in a TW base.. ( PLEASE IF ANYONE COULD DO THIS)
this one for sure is CM base...
btw tried it very good rom

Battery impression

@btimeh
The battery life is amazing in MIUI - it was one of the things I was watching first.
I seem to get about 1 to 2 hours more of battery life compared to any of my previous TouchWiz ROMs like X-Note or Omega...well it is obvious because MIUI is very lightweight and isn't filled with junk or features noone uses. MIUI is also faster than anything you have seen.
I am using the stock Kernel and get these good results. And that with the first MIUI version ever, who knows how even better it can get in the future.
Yes, there are some bugs for now, but these things will be fixed soon. For being the first version, it amazes me how good everything is already

Great,will test asap.

I tested the rom and put back my backup. This is close to daily use but for some reason I can't use whatsapp. It will fc and Google playstore does fc as well after you've installed it. Also I keep getting that my system storage is full (even though it's not) still as smooth as ever tho, just not rdy for daily use yet. We'll at least not for me

Yeah, WhatsApp isn't working. But they will fix it soon.
All Google Apps do work though, which version did you install? I installed the gapps-stock 4.4.2 (20140608), everything works fine.
Your system storage shows to be full? That is strange, I don't know what could have been the cause. I had something like that on some other ROM in the past, I wiped the internal SD card and formatted /system with CWM, then installed again (make sure keeping the .zip files on external SD ^^). It had worked for me.

I did wipe everything. I installed the rom 3 times just to try. I'll wait till whatsapp works in the following update and I'm ready to use this baby daily
