Anybody Else Having This Problem ?

My DM Server Will Not Shut Off ... Turnt My Phone Off Once To Fully Charge .. Turnt Back On And It Has Been On-Going For 9 Hours ...

DM Server won't quit
Same problem here for the last week. Not only is the Software Update app running and saying "Connecting to DM Server", but it is taking about 24% of the total processing time, ALL the time. Can't kill it with any means, whether the app manager, ROM tools or any other means. Even with the great battery of the Note 2 it makes a big difference.
I'd be shocked if others aren't having the same problem but I'd sure like others ideas, especially you gurus.
Everything is stock but I am rooted. i317 ATT.
Thanks

Found out the only thing that worked to end the process was to Freeze ATT Software Update with Titanium Backup. That worked but of course I won't get OTA updates while it's frozen.
I'd still like some help understanding what to do in the future with it.

hey guys same here, i just used app quarantine and froze it... it seemed to do the trick.
problem is when there are updates does that mean we cant update?
I am also on stock rooted.

Generally speaking...you can still get an update when rooted...if the stock rom and kernel are used....combined with the stock 3e recovery..
However....
Root may be lost...and a factory reset and reroot may be needed depending on what files get pushed via OTA..
The safe bet would be to freeze the updater...and wait for the devs to tear apart the update and see if anything of value was sent...
We continually run the risk of being locked out of root by the networks as they push out exploit patches...
Imagine getting an OTA while rooted...then lose the ability to reroot....and have a borked up device that can't be fixed at the root level...
Freeze is a great option....
And regarding the perma=updates...
Network glitch is now fixed....g

[solved] Does T999UVDMD5 lag on your phone?

It all started here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/44716
I griped on the T-Mobile forums about the struggle I've had in finding a smooth ROM for my T999. And I made an off-handed comment in another thread that got me pointed in the right direction hopefully. I'm looking for other T999 owners that have this problem.
The problem on DMD5 is all related to (apparently) intensive tasks. Playing games, mostly. Temple Run 2 and Fruit Ninja, neither of which are all that intensive, were nigh-on unplayable. Other games like Scramble with Friends would lag and stutter a bit, too. So after a lot of searching, I reverted to a pre-rooted T999UVDLJC with the matching baseband, so that way my phone doesn't try to update itself OTA. And performance is pretty good. But I'd like to think that I'm not alone, and I found I'm not alone in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326763&page=33
At the bottom of this page and the top of the next one, I found at least one kindred spirit that has a rev0 phone and has the same issue with DMD5.
NO other ROM has this issue. I've tried all of the official Samsung ROMs and I have tried official CM10.1 nightlies and the official 10.1 stable release and performance is very good on all of them. But it took a huge serious nosedive on T999UVDMD5.
So I'm curious about two things:
Does DMD5 run well on your phone? Particularly with games - that's where it was most notable, but even TWLauncher is laggy for me.
How old is your phone? According to the box for my phone it was built 6/30/2012.
If you are affected, could you help us all out on the T-Mobile support forum, and post a message in my thread at the top of the page? If we can get T-Mo and/or Samsung to look into it maybe we won't get left behind. I plan on using this phone for another year or more and I'd rather get the official updates in the future, too.
Update July 6, 2013: I found out thanks to help from people in this thread that I can run mismatched modem firmware/ROM and with the JLC modem on MD5 ROM, my phone runs fantastic. Or at least it has for about 2 hours - usually issues have shown themselves by now, and since they haven't cropped up I'm calling this resolved.

When you were on MD5, how did you update to it? OTA? Odin? Recovery flashable ROM?
And how much data have you been carrying over? (When did you last wipe data/factory reset, without restoring backups?)

Btw, I'm on MD5, completely stock right now. Hw is Rev. 0
I get very little lag, if any, ever. Simple games or even intensive games run very fluidly for me.
For example, I just got Man of Steel when it went on sale and it works almost perfectly. Disney, Gameloft, EA games have all worked just fine.
The only MD5 issues I've seen around here seem to occur when someone is using a mixed build with the MD5 radio. And then its only been reports of heat issues and slight battery issues. Haven't seen much of anything regarding poor performance.

I've tried all of the above. I even let Kies install it once. I've used TriangleAway and Odin to install 4.0.4 and let it do all the OTAs. Iv'e done factory resets and I've told setup not to restore my data to the phone and started from scratch. I used a flashable ZIP with the pre-rooted ROM, and when I did that I also got the DMD5 modem flashable ZIP to go along with it. I've tried not rooted. I've tried custom kernels, and I've tried stock. Odin completely stock and flashable zip totally customized. I've played with custom DMD5-based ROMs with the v6 script and I've tried not. I'm way out of ideas right now.
Sorry, @kennyglass123, I didn't realize I'd checked that box.
Starting to think all of them have "rev 0" for the CPU identifier, so that may not be the way to tell who has what.

Just to be clear, did you ever Factory Reset, then Odin flash MD5 (not mobile odin btw), and factory reset again to ensure internal sd was cleaned out too? If for MD5, you only flashed the Rom and Modem, you would have been on a mixed build. Also, many devs suggest waiting an hour before starting with any testing or reconfiguring. I'm not convinced this is always necessary, but they do usually kno more than me!
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to argue against your point, just to make sure not only that you've covered all angles, but that anyone who wants to back up your claim has also done the same.
As for the revision number, it may still be relevant as mine would have been among the first built too. We would need to find at least several others with the same, and different, to know for sure if it matters here.
Its always possible too that you got the unlucky pick of the hardware. (Just as possible though that I got a lucky pick)
Anyway, if you really are having that bad of problems with it, you may want to check if its still under warranty. I don't believe its the norm though.

Yeah I'm pretty sure, but I'm willing to do anything at this point. I'll do it again. I've stashed the Odin tar.md5 file on my backup hard drive, so I'll back up my working config and flash it again. Worst case scenario is that I re-root it, re-install recovery, and then restore my backup. Should take an hour max.

Use the root66 version of the firmware. Its pre rooted and is what I am running right now. Root alone won't have any negative effect, but will allow for much better troubleshooting.
Aside from that, keep it as clean from restored data as possible. Even a single corrupted contact entry can cause services to hang and eat up resources. I wouldn't even flash a recovery until you're ready to restore something.
(I use Mobile Odin Pro and it almost completely replaces the need for cwm or twrp. The only thing it can't do yet is make a nandroid backup.)

Whoops - found the Mobile Odin thread on XDA and got the lite version and the T999 flashing kernel. I'll give it a go.

Regarding The AOSP MD5 issues: the same thing is happening to me on stock. Have to use LJC or the battery sucks. What are your reboot habits like?

Yes, root66 is basically just 100% stock firmware, only rooted. Itll download as a .7z file. Just extract it and use the .tar.md5. You have the correct thread.
Mobile Odin is one of my all time favorite apps. Its from Chainfire if you are familiar with him. (SuperSU)
Its not a recovery exactly. What it does is reboots using what's called a flash kernel. This allows it to flash firmware like PC Odin, but also can flash roms that are made for recovery flashing. It doesn't replace the stock recovery like cwm/twrp either, so it also won't trip the flash counter. (I know that doesn't really matter with Triangle Away available (also by Chainfire)).
The only two drawbacks, (minor imo) are that it can't create nandroids, and it doesn't flash the FULL firmware (this is by design though).
I wouldn't bother with it right now, but definitely check it out after testing all this. Theres a free, lite, version here on xda. Ill send more info from my computer later.

OK awesome, I will check it out. I think what I'm going to do right now is just reset the flash counter, flash the Odin image, and then factory reset and set it up as a new phone. Does that sound reasonable? If I reboot into CWM after triangle away, it trips the flash counter again, at least that's what it seems to do, so I can't do anything other than reboot to download after Triangle Away.

I don't reboot unless the battery dies, or I was rebooting a lot when I was on MD5 trying to get stuff to work well. Generally I try not to mess with a good thing.

That sounds fine. Remember, if you factory reset with stock recovery installed, it will wipe internal sdcard.
As long as you have cwm or twrp, the flash counter will always be at 1. I wouldn't worry about that for now though. It won't affect overall operation.

OK, I won't mess with it too much then. I've backed up my internal storage already and I've backed up my SMS using SMS Backup and Restore. That thing has been very handy keeping copies of my texts while I screw with this.

Cool, sounds like you're good to go! Good luck! And let us know how things seem to be acting after flashing.
Don't forget to factory reset after flashing md5.

OK I got as far as the factory reset and then it was time to paint. My daughter's bedroom wasn't going to paint itself. I finally came back to the phone and it was patiently waiting for me to log in. I logged in and installed just a couple apps while I ate lunch, and then it sat until we were done painting and cleaning up. Logged into Facebook and Twitter, set up Google Now and updated Samsung apps. Once all that was done, I fired up Temple Run 2 and it was OK at first, but within 3-4 minutes it was choppy and laggy again. The phone never got warm to the touch. It just ran poorly. I exited out and killed all apps with the built-in task manager, and went back to the game. Not really any better. It's just super choppy. I even turned down all the graphics options in the settings for the game and that made zero difference.
Eventually I gave up. Restored my 4.1.1 backup, fired up some stuff, performance was great. It's just the combination of my phone and that software. No idea what it is at this point. I do appreciate all the assistance you guys have lent me.
Right now I'm on T-mo and was waiting out the 60 days before I ported my wife's number in to my account. Now that that's over, I'll eventually port in her number. She's extremely happy with her iPhone 4s and insists she's not interested in an iPhone 5, so what I'll probably do is use the ability to get new hardware as an excuse to get a Galaxy S4. WHen I first came to T-mo I just got a SIM and bought the phone used - found out later on that I should have just bought a phone through T-mo because I can't get a new phone on a payment plan for a year unless it's as part of a new line. She'll be a new line, so I'll get a phone.
This hasn't put me off on Samsung or even on the GS3 - it's just my phone has a weird issue of some sort. And the people here have been super awesome. Thanks tons for all your advice. In the meantime I'll run JLC and leave well enough alone.

OK I see it there. So I should use the LJC modem/firmware with the DMD5 debloat ROM you're going to PM the link for to me? Will they work if they're mismatched? I assumed (not that I'd bothered asking before) that they'd all have to be the same.

[Q] Can access CWM but cannot boot (Secure booting error)

Hi. I am encountering problems after installing this CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.4
I admit, I am a noob regarding this.
Going back, the phone can access The CWM-based recovery by pressing the power button and volume up, can use menus, advanced menu,
I wiped the partition and cleared cache and dalvik cache but when you restart, screen stops at LG logo and (Secure booting error, Cause: boot certification verify) text is displayed.
I know I was unsure of everything and flashing androids are new to me especially on my device.
can I unlock the bootloader even with the CWM-based recovery alone?
Model name: F240S
android version. 4.4.2

I'm having a similar problem. I have CWM from Freegee on my phone.
Last night, when I was unable to flash either or two different roms, I decided to check for an OTA update. The phone downloaded it, and when it was finished, it went into looping into recovery. I then decided to factory reset, wipe data.. still phone goes back to recovery. Then I decided to just use the backup I had made earlier in CWM. Still stuck in recovery loop.
Anyone? Anyone?

You can't install an OTA update with a custom recovery. It needs the stock recovery. Time to familiarize yourself with the TOT method of flashing back to stock

Seriously. Someone on this site needs to learn how to teach. I know that there are men here with IQs in the upper range of 140 plus.. but they can't teach. sad sad sad.
I've been going at this for so long now. My computer is littered with downloaded files. And then the phone I had before this it was like, hmmm, I'll flash a cyanogenmod rom because they under stand the common man. WRONG. Their mods suck battery life more than stock roms. Okay, I'll flash Carbon rom... not any better, devs have purposely darkened the screen to make it look like battery life is better.. I tried rom after rom after rom. They all have problems. NOt just minor problems either.
Android is the punk in prison that gets passed about by the violent inmates. First Samsung has his way with Android, then Google gets in on the gangbang and then Verizon or AT&T gets sloppy thirds..

I have an e980 and this method had been flawless multiple times. As far as battery life, that all depends on 100 different things, but I always flash madmack's modem, then wipe cache and dalvik. Deep sleep is pretty much guaranteed after that.

Your dramatized posts between threads show you are having a hard time. A person does not need a degree to flash, just the patience to read a lot on a forum like xda regarding their phone and android in general.
People only notice something like battery life on a given rom due to the presence of other options they can compare it to. Apple, for example, is just one thing. One ios iteration having a better something over the other is irrelevant as there is nothing to apply degrees of comparison to. Then, hardware variety, etc.
Some of the points you are upset about in the process of flashing could be resolved by a google search or xda forum search.

Well I finally got it working.
What one has to do to get roms flashed is to use madmacks's term. And when you're on recovery mode, you must toggle Loki support to disabled or the install of the new Rom will abort.

Should I move this question to another post?
I have another problem. my phone just got no signal and says "Service disabled". on the notification bar it just loads and says "Searching for networks". it never found any networks. I switched the same SIM to another phone and it has a signal. the problem happened after I edited the build.prop and changed the ro.build.local from "KR" to "US" just to remove the dual clock from the lockscreen (because F240 has a dual clock which is non-removable except if you use the sqlite editor but that method did not work for me. the editor closes and says "*programname* has closed unexpectedly").
I made a factory reset and still there is no signal. I'm using stock kitkat firmware from LG and not rooted. can you help me with this one?
Thanks

Have you checked your apn settings?

No, I don't have APNs listed.
but, I was able to install sphinx rom and now the phone always says "unfortunately, com.android.keyguard has stopped" and the phone app was gone, APN settings also gone, call logs gone,

For a short while, I didn't think I had apn's listed but I was not looking in the right place.

Probably no baseband or null baseband, my suggestion, flash stock through flashtool, if you have free gees made an efs folder you can always restore that too, but i think flashing stock would solve the baseband problem, if that doesnt, there is an online flashing method, that can help

I don't know about the flash stock through flashtool. I use mobile support tool which I did last night and it was a success. "com.android.phone has closed unexpectedly" or something like that does not appear now on SETTINGS>Tethering & Networks>Mobile Networks OR T Roaming>Select roaming network. because before I'm encountering if I go there.
one last thing is that everything is now stock but still I don't get the signal. unlike before. the signal goes back automatically.
about basebands, I do have a baseband. same as before and I still have my IMEI intact.

That is strange, there is a thread of hyelton, in general section, get the lg flash tool from there, and try to flash the appropriate tot file, if you flash the tot or kdz file for other model, this might result in loss of network

If You Used The TMobile Root Method...

2 things... Would anyone mind verifying that once you use the tmobile root, you can no longer boot into recovery?
I tried to factory reset and the recovery will not boot.. Just flashes the android icon every few seconds.
The only way to boot back into the phone is to put it into download mode and re run the tmobile root. It will restart and all will be good.
Now, if it is not just my phone that no longer has a working stock recovery, does anyone know a way to factory reset without a working recovery? I'm guessing it's not possible. Kies does not work with the Sprint Note 4 yet. They updated it today and you can backup the n4 but not factory reset.
Finally, can anyone that used the Galaxy Tools app to get WiFi tethering to work, check to see if your private mode will turn on? I do not have xposed installed and the wifi tether fix in the galaxy tools app seems to be the only thing I can think of that would have broke Private Mode.
Thanks!

Same thing happened to me. I had to get another note 4. There is no way until samsung releases the firmware dump. Sprint even called best buy samsungs care center to see if they have the reflash files and they don't even have it. Odin wipe the data and bring it into sprint so they can give you another one.

Mine boots just fine to the recovery and tecovery works just fine.
I know when i first downloaded thw CF auto for n910t and used the oding in that package my process failed and phone showed to monitors on screen
So i took battery off and download mode again and used a different odin i allready had same version and did the process again and worked and everything is fine.

It is not that big a deal. I can wait for a custom recovery and then go from there. I wanted to factory reset so that I could get private mode back, but I will just use it as is until there is another alternative.
Others are saying that their recoveries are working fine. I guess you and I are the lucky ones
Thanks Androidwarrior.

What version of Odin did you use? Thanks

I just auto-rooted with N910T, and tried to install Wifi Tether (and TrevE variant) and neither worked. I don't think it started the tether correctly, it was unable to open the log for write, so I don't have a log. I am pretty sure the root was successful (at least partially). I used the root checker app and it said I was good and within the terminal emulator I was able to switch users to root.
I also unsuccessfully tried X Tether. It started up, and showed up on my computer, but I wasn't able to connect to it, and after a while it invariably told me that I needed to upgrade my service.

Have you tried Galaxytools from playstore it worked just fine on mine for hotspot

Just loaded it... It seems like I am getting a "System Updating" every time I reboot now, not sure if it was doing it before that though. After some playing with it, I think it is now working. I hit the "Enable Native Hotspot" and it rebooted and then it worked for a while, I tried it again, and it seems more reliable now. I'm still not convinced its completely reliable. I tried a speedtest on my laptop while tethering and I got about 8Mbps down, but only about 300kbps up. The upload seemed very goofy, like it was sending a lot of data and then pausing, and then sending a lot of data. Interestingly it was on 3G initially and getting about 1.5Mbps and the same thing up (and then when I rebooted it, I got LTE and the higher download speeds).

Can you check to see if using galaxy tools to enable tether kills your private mode? Since using the galaxy tools app, whenever I click on private mode it fails saying "Private mode failed to start, try again."

I'm not sure how to use it since this is the first time I've heard of it, but it appears to be there. S Health seems to have been killed somewhere along he way there. No more pedometer, UV sensor, SPO2, or heart rate....

Did some googling and found this. http://www.andromods.com/fix-troubleshoot/fix-xposed-framework-shealth-problem-galaxy-s5.html
I'm going to try it and see if it works on ours.
Update: Uninstalled Xposed and S Health started working again. Going to back up and try the buildprop edit in a bit.

In Xposed install "Wanam Xposed", open Wanam, go to Security Hacks, and click "Disable Secure Storage" and S Health will work fine.

I had the same problem with S Health, but there is an xposed module that will fix the issue for you. Just search in the download section of xposed.

I'll check it out, but it's working fine now. Now if I could only remember how to get the SD back to normal again.

TWRP should be out today so we can root via an actual Sprint method if you guys wanted to wait a little longer. I believe you can even root via CF now.

Restoring Stock Firmware with KIES - Now with Video - Cooler Faster Smoother

UPDATED VIDEO
NOW USE SAMSUNG SMART SWITCH FOUND BY CLICKING THIS TEXT​Use the method at this link instead, and ignore the info below: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...p/flash-stock-firmware-using-samsung-t3079176
I've been messing heavily with my new S6 Edge (Rooting, Removing System Apps, etc), and have caused myself some issues. I wanted to restore the Firmware, but Kies would not do it last night. But now, this afternoon, it is allowing it. I'm installing right now and it appears to be going smoothly.
Just a heads up for anyone that was trying before and could not get it to go.
I'll report back if I have any issues.
DOWNLOAD KIES
UPDATE: It went perfectly smooth. Now I'm back to Stock Firmware with Stock Recovery.

It doesn't work for me yet. did you enter download mode before connecting to Kies? what version of Kies do you have? mine is 3.2.15041_2

I entered download mode when it asked me to. Also Kies 3.2
I also got that message, but it will go through anyways. At least it did for me. I left that message in the background till it finished.

Initial Update when you Open Box is Included in this method
I just noticed that the update you get when you first turn on your phone is pre-built into this update method. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that my phone feels blazing fast now as opposed to when I first got it. And, it's not near as HOT as it was.
Here is my current version for comparison. Not sure if it's the same as that updated file we got when first turned on as I didn't make a note of the version numbers.

Just curious, was the phone staying awake at all times after you rooted it? Mine is, and I noticed today after my second Edge came in that rooting appears to be the cause.

No, but I did find the battery life to be HORRIBLE! Now, with this Firmware Recovery, the battery is lasting longer than it has since I got it. I'm finally really enjoying the phone. When it was new, battery life was very dismal and it got really hot regularly. Now it feels like a normal phone, but FAST.

Yep, my battery life was horrible after rooting as well - I found out and now I'm almost 100% positive that when you root it the system doesn't deep sleep properly. I was able to confirm on a second phone that it does deep sleep at all times up until rooting. Afterwards it just refuses to enter deep sleep.

good to see a restore works, but I don't think I will root until TWRP comes out for this guy.
phone is running just fine now..

My device won't boot even with the 920 root method. And kids says my serial n is no good?

Tell your kids to mind their own business.
Hehe, just kidding.
What serial are you using? It needs to be the one from Settings/About/Status near the bottom of that screen. Try again, making sure you've got model and serial exact. I had it complain on me a couple times. Was a mistype on my part. Not sure if case matters, but maybe try all upper case.

nice work :good:

Hi there,
I finished the process "Software Update and Initialization" via SS but my it looks like my phone has the same settings and apps as before and was not "wiped" or initialised to factory.
Does this mean it actually was not successful or did the process actually automatically restore my backup while I looked away?
The phone definitely seems snappier though ...
Thx
Ken
