Hey everyone!
I couple of days ago I bought this phone from alibaba.com because I got a good price for it and the specs where decent, atleast for the price.
So far, it's a great phone. It has one bug though which is that sometimes, not always, the volume will go from mute to FULL and force itself to stay there. Like if you were to try and lower the volume, either via the phone menu, or with the side buttons, it would go back up.
This is kind anoying, and these spasms lasts for maximum 30 seconds, ie after 30 seconds you can normally turn the volume down.
But overall, good phone, would've been better if it wasnt doing that. Anyways, to my question.
I want to install Cyanogen mod on this phone. That is the reason why I made this thread, to ask for help/informationg regarding this process, wether its possible or not.
Here are some information I took from the "about phone" window;
Model Number: N3
Android Version: 4.3.0
Baseband Version: N3XXUAMDK
Kernel Version: 3.4.5-526212 [email protected]#1 tue aPR 23 23:00:57 kst 2013
Build number: N3_V1.0_V01_2013
SELinux Status: Enforcing
For specifications phonewise visit this link; turns out I cannot post links yet, but just google "No.1 N3" and their main page will pop out and there are the specs. (I have the 1gb version btw, on their page it costs 199 i think)
So, is this possible? I feel like if this is some kind of software failure, installing cyanogen/or any other rom might fix it.
Also, if it isnt going to fix it, I'd still want my phone to have cyanogen if possible.
Thanks in advance everyone!
issues
Just got this phone in the mail....looks identical to note 3 butttt ...it just isn't connecting to my mobile network. Very frustrating
Radio frequencies are correct etc. I'm on Telus network, I did get a connection for 2 mins and then gone.
On the manufactures website the specs indicate it comes with 4.2 but mine has 4.3. Wondering if the 4.3 is an issue.
The status bars are all grey with a red x above them. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks
Porting cyanogen-mod is possible, but just in the way, that almost nothing is impossible.
There is no cyanogen-mod porting so far for the 6589 phones, so you have to port every driver and everything by hand.
If i were you, i would try to flash the newest no1. n3 rom and look if it runs better.
At my No.1 S6 the last firmware solved always every annoying issues from the beginning.
I haven't found a thread about this phone here yet, so i cant give you a link to the latest firmware.
I saw that needrom.com has a rom for the No. 1 N3 so you who had a problem with your phone could maybe use that.
The volume error has seem to have dissapeared now for some strange reason?
Anyways I'm happy, but I still want more discussion about this phone. It's very good actually.
Thanks to the one posted here.
Also, I have no experience with android development so me porting cyanogen to this phone would not work at all
I think i will get my N3 next week.
Now i'm on my No.1 - S6...

From where did you buy it?
Also, please post here with your thoughts of the phone when you get it!
I buyed it second-hand, originally it came from tinydeal.
Is here a general discussion thread about this phone?
I got mine today, with firmware from 2013-11-18, and the camera-pictures are very noisy.
I guess this is an issue of the camera-drivers.
How are your photos?
So no.1 n3 dont have any custom rom

You have the white bootanimation or the black bootanimation?
My camera is good actually, cant complain on that.
I can give you all the files required to get the black boot animation "version", as I contacted customer service and they gave me the files.

Well, not yet atleast.
I think something will come up though sooner or later for the N3.
So, has anyone mixtured and experimented with this device?
Looking forward to hearing about your devices.

American noob here. XDA Developer Boocy has some interesting info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438752
I received my No.1 N3 (the lower end $179 version as a matter of poverty) with the black boot animation. I believe it shipped with the updated ROM version on http://www.needrom.com/mobile/no-1-n3-2/ . I didn't use Boocy's backup and root tutorial because the cpu name has a T at the end of it (MTK6589T) and this is Android 4.3.0... it seems this phone needs some time on the market before developers see a demand for custom ROMs and we can get a straight forward fix for the GPS issues.
MTK Droid Tools reference in Boocy's post rooted the phone with the superuser button and SuperSu (after spending 8 hours researching why my MTKDroidTools didn't have a root button as seen in some image searches).
As a noob who spent the past 3 days on this phone, MTKDroidTools rooted the phone, but none of the GPS "fixes" or apps I've found work... and GPS is essential for my job. I've researched other custom ROMs but found nothing. I"m stuck at attempting to go back to stock with the needrom.com version posted above (because I didn't know enough about creating and flashing backups until it was too late).
Please link any relevant guides that have helped you in working with this phone. Keep on Google and let the rest of us know when this phone gets the attention it deserves from the developer community! (Thank you developers!)

I've installed the first version of the stock rom from needrom.com... black boot animation. I'm installing the update, which is what I believe came on the phone, black boot animation. I don't think I've seen the white or know where it came from. I'm not sure where the boot animation is stored on the phone, but I'm assuming it is attached to the ROM and when you flash you get a different animation?
I forgot to mention I have MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.2... and that in rooting by pressing the SuperUser button, I replaced the HBOOT screen with CWM (when you press volume up, power on, and home screen button during boot). Not sure how I did that, but I'm still trying to figure out where the kernel, rom, and recovery screen and recovery ROM are and which one gets replaced with what. Guides appreciated.
Sorry, if GPS is so important for you, i'm afraid to say you got the wrong phone.
No Fix will make a REAL good GPS, because the antennas are not really good.
With EPO and AGPS on, my phone gets a hot fix in less than 10sec, but navigating with maps is nearly impossible.
Finding satellites inside a car with chromed windows is more than hard.
Nearly all china-phones, but specially the clones have bad gps, and i think they always will.
Better buy a better phone than a cheap samsung galaxy grand or something.

Hello .Any advice would be useful.I`m new to this forum so thanks in advance for you help.My problem consists in :
I have a Samsung Note 3 demo live unit ,bought for mini tablet purpose few days ago.It had installed 4.3 on it and of course that awful retail mode when i bought it .I didn`t deactivate that retail mode ,i just proceeded for flashing a new rom ,the official kitkat ,next minutes after i bought it .after that the retail mode was gone ....i had some problems with the continuous reboot but after finding some interesting articles here on xda forum ,i solved that .It was that wireless option (allways on bug) that created the rebooting.But something still remains .I have some kind of a pic permanently on all the pages,programs,and the entire UI .....it`s like an add or banner. related to a campaign ,Samsung-Orange for autist children called, a world of happy faces....I think probably this note 3 was exposed in an Orange store along this campaign last months ...and had something installed on it .
Here is this campaign official site :
aworldofhappyfaces.com
I have a picture like that flower banner (which can be seen on that website ) permanently on my screen everrywhere.I heard it`s called a watermark.I`m not sure.But what i know It is that is stressing me deeply ,especialy when i try to use my spen in notes ,you can observe it better .It is also very pregnant on white and any other light colors as well.
I tried to find something related to it in all aplication manager ,anything to deactivate it ..but nothing present.Of course i tried factory reset,hard reset ,but didn`t help either.What can i do ?
It is possible that this thing to be somehow linked to this demo live motherboard or is it a software -hardware problem ,something implemented which isn`t intended to be removed.
Kind regards,
Catalin
ps:it gets more strange than this when i try to capture a screenshot ...on the screenshot that background banner can be observed but when i transfer it in my computer it isn`t there

Have you tried checking the screen for any film that might need peeling?

hello thanks for answering ........well in the first instance i didn`t check .earlier i did it ,and it doesn`t seem to have any film or screen protector ,sticker ,etc attached on the exterior of the display.I took a good look in all the corners ,tried with my nails to see if i can remove something which cannot be seen with the bare eye ,but it seems nothing like that is present here.And to be honest i never heard that a galaxy device to come with a built in film protector ....but given the fact this is a demo live ,it came into my mind that this thing could be possilbe.Anyway at this point i think there isn`t anything attached there.Is it somehow possible that the display itself to be manufactured especially for that campaign ?..with that dim sticker into it ...i mean something like a hardware characteristic! if i had any other display for note 3 i would have tried a short replacement to see if this is the problem ,but i dont`t have .
It is possilbe to be something beneath the glass ...between lcd and gorilla glass?
I know this is a old topic but I don't know if you had figured this one out.
The thing you are/were seeing is a burned logo in the display. Most probably the unit was stuck on that screen while playing demo videos in the store.
I work in a telecom store and I've seen them a lot.
Thought might be interesting to know this.

Hello. Im using XDA first time and i dont know where i have to post it so someone can help me.
My problem starts with that, i own a smartphone called HTC Desire 300, last time i used it was like 5-6 months ago, then it all worked, display and stuff. Then i put that in box because i got another phone and now, today i took it out from there again and saw a weird thing, i have a grey circle around my display, i add a screenshot, and now if i put it on display aint working. Does someone know what can cause it? Do i have to buy new display ( last time it worked, 2 weeks before i ended relationship with that one 5-6months ago then i got a new touchscreen changed ". Does anyone know what is the problem?
So sorry about my English, i hope you can understand.
Much love XDA!

Hello,
I had locked my 1 day old phone and struggled alot and kinda ended up damaging my Display
Got black dead pixels which seem to be fading with time? it was a big dot and now they r mini dots! i hope it fixes it self.
also got 1 white patch
Apart form all this i made alot of mistakes and spent my time.
Local market people charge 600rs to fix this problem and take a day, while service centre takes 3 working days.
I wanna create a tutorial which helps all, i seen people posting many tutorials, but trust me it didn't work well and thus i ended up damaging my device too.
Can someone help me make a tutorial? like what sort of tutorial would people prefeR?
i just thought it will help everyone.
