[Q] Galaxy Note 3 MTK6589 - N9006. Some advice! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i just bought the note 3 N9006 mtk6589 today and i am very excited ! Everything works just fine !!!!!! air gestures, S-Pen works absolutely wonderful and everything ! BUT i saw 2 very small problems and i would like to hear some advice here.
When i powered on the device the vibration stopped working after some time and i resetted the phone and it worked again,but after some time it didnt work again.So i moved the phone a bit on the air 2 - 3 times and i hear something inside that i think its the vibration motor. then the vibration worked.well i dont think it is a very big problem that i need to return it.The vibration works now well i think it hasnt stopped working since the last time it did it. has anyone experienced this before with a similar phone?
The second problem is that the right side of the home button sometimes it sticks A BIT inside.but the home button works OK.is this dangerous that the home button sometime will stop working or break? i dont think so but tell me your opinion !
Despite these small problems i am very very pleased with the phone.
If anyone wants i can post some photos !

Speaker Turns ON Automatically & No Sound

Hi Folks~
I have an XDA (QTEK 1010) had been working perfectly fine, until yesterday. After taking a call, when I tried to make a call I noticed the Speaker Phone activated automatically. I can't hear anything even the tried to play an MP3 from the Media Player but still didn't work.
Then I plugged in the Hands-Free, could listen to the Sound but the Mic seems to be have been disabled. (Even after plug-in of the Hands-Free, the Speakerphone still remains activated).
Pl. HELP !
Thanks !!
the manual say something about holding down the phone button turn the speaker phone on and off
Doesn't work, I've already tried it
Btw am using the following, pl. let me know if the ROM/Radio Stack Versions have to do something with it
DEVICE : QTEK 1010
Model No.: PW10A1
ROM Version: 3.18.04 ENG
ROM Date: 05/22/03
Radio Version: 3.25.00
Protocol Version: 32S54
Thanks !!
You could back up your data and try a hard reset, a bit drastic I know but its pretty useless as a phone at the moment.
Apologies for the Information in Bit & Pieces (am a newbie).
I've already checked after Soft & Hard Reset to the Device, the problem is still there.
Regards
This is exactly what happened to me back in November, after my little Xavier (an XDA) went for a swim in a flooded gutter.
I'll bet that if you go into the Wallaby BootLoader and try the diagnostics, it'll behave itself.
Unfortunately, the news was not good for me: $1500 to have it repaired.
"Liquid Ingression", they call it. *grumble*
I decided against it. My XDA still works as a soundless PDA (or, as it turns out, a hopelessly overpriced Universal Remote Control).

Can you guide me through ? How to run the diagnostics ?
Any help with the Diagnostics ?
I've tried over-writing the ROM, still didn't work ...

Thank you!
Let me try it out .. :arrow:
Still not working ..
Should I upgrade it to PPC2003 from the YOrk Kitchen ?? Will it help resolving the problem ?
I was thinking if it could be bcz of a loose connection inside the device (altough the device never fell down since I've got it).
Any help would be appreciated.

There's a good chance that it needs vendor support.
Take it back to the place you bought it... if you didn't drop it or get it wet, the warranty should cover it.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
The problem is that there is no Local Support for XDA in Pakistan yet ...
The Only Option I've got is to ship it internationally, which would be Expensive :roll:
Just tried Updating the Stack, didn't Work either .. Pretty Strange what else could happen.
If I attach a Hands-Free I get to hear the Sounds, but no Sounds on the Speaker .. person calling me can't hear me nor can I hear them. The Situtation is same I try to make a Call "Speaker Phone On" Pops-UP.
Though I tried to records the Recording, When I speak while the recoding on the playback just gives a huffing sound, no clear Audio.
Stuck with an Expensive XDA with No Phone & No Speaker Sound !!!
From the limited information provided to me by the repair centre, and looking over the details on xda-developers.com, I think your audio chip (or something related to it) may have fried. Mine was caused by water damage... a lot of water damage, at that...
Without the Sound, there's no charm in using it anyways ... bought a new Nokia 6600 a few days back and am using it ... now waiting for the Battery to be drained & when re-charged expecting a miracle to happen
I hope it works again !! I love the XDA !
Guess What .. the XDA is working perfectly fine now.
The only thing I did was to place it in my Drawer for a couple of Days .. Keeping it outta my Sight )
Miracles do happen ;-)
I have this problem now... Although it has not got wet?? Exact same as described as above...
Although in bootloader diagnostics the mic/speaker work fine. When booted in to windows I get the speaker phone coming on automatically, and no sound
Guys,
This problem drives me crazy constantly. The only explanation I found (by empirical approach) as follows:
My XDA works fine always except at winter, when I stay outside, and the XDA surface covered with steam condensate because of temperature differences. Condensate may not be seen visually, but some electronics inside has short circuit or changes in chains resistance which cause XDA to think that ‘speakerphone mode’ is on and misbehave.
To resolve this problem I just keep XDA in the worm place (like stay in apartment) for 30 min and / or plug it to charger which bring XDA to normal mode (by warming it up and thus removing steam condensate). No other ways found so far.
Regards, Andrey
Let me know if you know how to resolve it once and forever (do not advice me to thru it out :wink: )
This solution doesn't work for me
Amazing.. I've tried banging my XDA off of my desk, sticking all sorts of crap in the headphone socket (at this point, I didn't really care if I broke it more lol)... nothing worked..
Then just now, I thought.. hm.. I'll just blow as hard as I can in the little hole... I did this for a good five minutes.. and it now works
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Common problems?

Just bought I-mate Smartflip yesterday. And already got 2 problems.
1. Keypad blacklight stoped working yesterday. Does not respond on any on-off changes in light sensor option. I'll try HR, hope it would help.
2. Yesterday got some complains from people I was talking with using Smartflip saying that there were problems with my voice volume. They could hardly hear me.
Haven't got problems of that kind today. Asked everyone wether they hear me well and it was ok.
Though I do like this device indeed.
The question is, are those problems common? Should I change (or repair maybe?) my device for another one or buy some other model?
Update to blacklight work. It works at one's own choosing. It can work half of the day and then just don't work the rest half.
And twice i saw it flashing.
Since there are 58 views and no replies looks like the problems aren't common.
I've been checking on this forum just because I'm planning to pick one up... so.. 2 views from me and a reply.

TG01 Speaker Problem

Hi guys
I have a problem with my tg01. The problem is that when I ring someone the person on the other side can hear me but I cant hear them. So I was woundering if anyone else has the same problem and if there is a fix to it. Also if there is no fix then how do I get it repaired as the phone is more then 6 months old and orange wont fix it.
Waiting for your replys
Thank
Do you have SRS wow installed? is so soft reset after each install of the 3 cabs. Can you hear people if they ring you? Have you tried turning up the volume when you make calls, I think i had a handset that had no sound when set on vibrate/silent. When the volume was increased the sound came back.
are using an cooked rom ?
Thanks mate I did a reset and the phone started working fine again

Crazy Lumia 920

Hi guys, I've this awesome Lumia 920, it works fine the first 15 minutes, but suddenly it gets crazy, I tried switching from 3g to 2g, changing touch settings wont work, I have this video to show you whats exactly the problem... When the phone gets crazy it vibrates and is unusable... I cant do nothing with it... locking it sometimes solve the problem, but a reboot is the temporary solution... the last owner told me he replaced the screen, I think the glass only, dont really know... is this the problem? Is there a way to solve this problem??
I have a video with the problem, I cant post links yet, but videos name is Error Lumia 920, user Cristobal Florian... thanks for your time..
This might be a more serious issue - try a facotory reset, if that doesn't help there's a great chance that it's a hardware issue... in that case Nokia Store is your only option...
if latest user make repair by own or other amateur repair, is possible this job not make very well or also Lumia have other hardware problems. unfortunately for you you cant do anything to improve bad behavior except to give Lumia to Nokia repair service

Hi,
I found your video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s28vq-DmAkY
this is obviously digitizer problem since it's simulates touches.
If you have basic electronics skill try to disassemble your 920 and disconnect digitizer cable of course you won't be able to use your phone for anything besides hardware keys, but you will see if the problem is within the digitizer or something more serious. For how to disassemble your 920 check page 15 (touch connector) of Nokia Lumia 920 RM-820_821 L1L2 Service Manual v1.0.pdf or youtube video
I suspect that previous owner purchased cheap replacement digitizer or during assembly something goes wrong because it's very delicate and difficult task to separate digitizer from the IPS display - see this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or1mcpaVxOU
See in the comments of above video - "Richie Liu 2 weeks ago
Hello LE55ONS. I replaced my digitizer, but now I have a problem of the phone randomly pressing the back button, search button, and home screen button. It does it sporadically. Is there any fix for this? Should I just try redoing the whole process again? Could it be dust under the screen doing this? "
Thanks
Thanks Boril... you really know about this phones... Im gonna do it...
sim problem???
Im doing some trials on my phone, I has that problem only with sim, without the sim and wifi connected it works normally... Im gonna check the screen anyway but the sim seems to be part of the problem...

Hi, i have also this problem on my 920, and i have only changed the touch screen. it works perfectly without sim card, with sim card it goes crazy.
It isnt the first touch that i've changed, i've many hours of experience on other lumia and apple device, maybe a faulty bad quality touchscreen?
i've bought a new one and we will see, have you resolved your problem?
Crazy 920
Hi guys
i have the same problem and it appears as soon as you get a network (if it is on airplane mode it works perfectly normal), after soft resetting it temporally works but as soon as you make a call or receive one it appears again, and it simulates all three buttons (back, home and search), during calls it simulates the home button mainly (the screen shrinks and goes back a lot !!), also it appears as if you changed the network to 2G. I have replaced the screen before once, and it is a black 920 RM-821, HELP PLEASE !!!
Last week got one Lumia 520 with similar problem. But after few hours of trying to find problem (dissembling also) found something stupid and simple: SIM card. I put my SIM card and all problems gone.

Yes I dit the update
Do you have a pair of earphones with a mic? That way you can tell if it's software or hardware at least.
My Thor E hasn't had this problem, I just had a quick look at the settings to see if there is a way to turn up the volume on the mic, but couldn't find one.

How to fix it?
Low mic volume during call
I've got the same problem. However the mic works fine when using WhatsApp and other internet voice calls. The problem seems to affect only regular calls. Regular calls over bluetooth handsfree and jack headphones works just fine.
Hard to say if the problem is sw or hw but the mic alone definitely works. I noticed that the volume sounds fine at the start and then gets lower.
There is another forum trying to solve this: attp://bbs.vernee.cc/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1963&extra=&page=1 (change the a for h at the beginning as I can't post links as a new user ;O] )
Someone recommended to turn off and on the speaker button during a call but it doesn't fully work for me - it gets a bit better but goes high and low and thus is unusable. Tried several times on both ends of the call.
edit: someone on the other forum says the problem is sw and will be solved soon via update... I guess we will see (or not ;O] )
edit2: problem solved with firmware update Thor_E_20170615
Same problem here but the 0615 update did not solved it.... it seems that the mic volume starts fine, gets lower, then fine and again gets lower in waves... it is very annoying... does anybody have a good solution?
I had just received the Thor E and I had the same problem, I temporarily fixed it by disabling "Ok google from any screen".
Other people reported to have solved the issue by altering the volume levels with the app MTK Engineering Mode (I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to other forums, anyway if you search on google you should find something)

I can confirm removing "ok google" on every page facility this solved a number of problems for me too.
Lastest update here, 0615, I've totally disabled Google Now and I still get a very low volume on calls
Thor E multiple issues
Just bough the it last week from a reputable seller I thought. Out of the box issues with first sim slot non functional, only 2nd slot took sim, meaning no extra storage.
Sound / mic issues as listed. Got 2 OTA and updated.. still same issues remained. Seller asked me to do recovery by pressing power and volume and choosing recovery. Failed as I get android with exclamation mark saying "command not found"
Seller refused return postage refund...
Found official rom on vernee site.. updated / downgraded to 20170615.. now camera issues, back camera gone, front camera upside down..
Really unhappy and clueless
I have bought the Phone in the last days, got 2 OTA and updated. I dont know before, but now I have no Sensors ( NO Compass, NO Gravity).
Today I received a new Update (Thor_E_20170704) but the same Problem.
PS: I have tried to downgrade the ROM to Thor_E_20170524, but it´s not working.
If I downgrade with Flashtool there are no Errors and it shows that all okay, but I cant boot the Phone after Flash, the Phone is pernamently off.
So I reflash the ROM Thor_E_20170615 but No Sensors. Any Solutions?
a friend of mine solved the volume problem with a factory reset.
---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------
i've got another problem.
i've installed twrp and i forgot.
when i've done the update (june) it loops to twrp and recovery mode is unavaiable...
Vernee thor E
I have the same problem with this phone...
I really don't know what's wrong with that??
It´s a Firmware bug since Thor_E_201706XX
At this moment the Thor_E_20170524 firmware is the best option.
The latest OTA update Thor_E_20170704174452 is a catastrophe.
The twrp does not work anymore with Thor_E_20170704174452.
Someone is trying to fix this issue.
IMEI problem?
How do I get my IMEI back?
Enter this code in the dialer
* # * # 6813 # * # *
Enter your IMEI
Restart
Hi, big issue. Had this new phone in my hand for an hour or so, then I decided to update the firmware ... 5 minutes and then PUF. Cell dead. No way to turn the phone on. no light, no led ... nothing...
I bought Vernee Thor E about 2 months ago. It was working fine until i upgrade it. Now issue is with voice calls. Whenever a call is going on it stops my mic function, i need to switch on and off the speaker button to re-transmit my voice. It just disable my mic when i press any button shown on dialer while on call it make mic available, and it happens after every 2 to 3 minutes of call.
