A few questions - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have a Xiaomi redmi note 3 (MIUI version 7.0.9something) and have been meeting various problems. Could you help, please?
1) Is there an english manual/user guide? Whenever I search for one, I get the one page pdf only. I got only the chinese manual with the box.
2) I'd like to import from an old android phone (Samsung galaxy ace, android 2.3.6) the Pou application with all saved data (it is somewhat of a tamagotchi, who I have fed for 3 years, so I'd like to keep him on my new phone ). How to do that, please?
3) Whenever I write (say an sms or a note) and mistakenly touch the finger scanner on the back of the phone, the writing cursor skips to the beginning of the line. How to turn this off?
4) I have been abroad, the phone used roaming, and now the messaging service shows the error "Unfortunately, the messaging app had stopped working". I have to choose in second time to get to the messaging screen. I think it has something to do with the first menu with the whole list of contacts and messages, because when I write a message and then suddenly go back to the menu, I get the same error and the app shuts down. Factory reset had not helped.
5) Same thing applies to the weather application. Whenever I choose the option "Localize" to find my location, I get an error "Localisation failed". Last time this worked was when I was abroad. Upon returning, it had stopped working.
Thanks for the help!

LG Optimus F3 Bricked? (Sort of, seeking help)

Ok the phone is:
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-LS720-Titanium-Silver-optimus-f3
LG Optimus F3
Android 4.1.2
T-Mobile pushed a OS system update on 12/3/13. After 3 weeks of the constant reminder, my girlfriend talked me into attempting to get the update to install last night.
So I moved all of her pictures to an external SD card, and attempted the update. With the phone fully charged & plugged into an outlet it failed several times. After checking available system memory I found that the unit had less than 100 mb. So I did a factory reset, to remove the many, many apps that were installed after purchase.
On initial boot the phone does not enter into a Setup Wizard like most handsets, instead it goes straight to the home screen (no lockscreen) and a warning is displayed. "Unfortunately, Home has stopped." and the only option is "OK". When attempting to navigate to the >System>Settings nothing happens (Black screen) & eventually you will get the "Unfortunately, Home has stopped." to display or occasionally "Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped." or "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.".
You are not able to answer a call, text, etc....Attempting to swipe down and choosing Quick Settings Browser, the browser opens and then closes with "Unfortunately, Home has stopped.". The app drawer will not open.
I've completed many, many (north of 20) hard factory resets by:
Powering off
Pressing Power+Volume Down+Home
Following the prompts of pressing "Power" twice to initiate & confirm the Factory Rest
The Green Android Bug is displayed and then back to the above problem of "Unfortunately, Home has stopped."
Forcing the unit into Safe Mode, and you get the same results as above.
My two complaints with this model is that it has very limited system memory & zero ROM support.
Being the phone is not rooted, neither is ADB set on the unit. So pushing another launcher to the phone is not possible that I'm aware of, also no means to enter fastboot.
When the unit was taking by the T-Mobile store stated the phone has been wet due to a pink indicator on the battery. We purchased the unit new and it has never by wet (We do live a couple of blocks from the ocean). So the T-Mobile store refused to service the unit. Also the unit was completely functional until attempting this system update.
Any suggestions? (tossing it in the garbage would be wonderful if I could afford a replacement, which I am not at this time).
Problem has been solved
Apparently LG has a software tool that reset's the phone to factory. WIN

With the One V, you had to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Sometimes I would forget and this would be three result.

You had it lucky. My phone, same one, is stuck at the LG screen. No animation, just a picture. It has been sitting like that for hours. I connected it to my computer, and it doesn't show up. I think it's screwed.

[Q] Unfortunately, Launcher3 has stopped.

I have a Galaxy S2 (i997) and am running Beanstalk 4.4.205 dated 12/31/13. The build has worked GREAT for me. About a week ago I received a couple pop-ups telling me that a service had stopped but when I chose "OK" it worked fine.
Yesterday (2/16/14) my phone must have auto-updated something and now it's not working. I can power it off, boot into recovery, and boot normally. When I go to swipe the home screen I get three messages in this sequence:
Unfortunately, Exchange Services have stopped.
Unfortunately, Email has stopped.
Unfortunately, Google Partner Setup has stopped.
Unfortunately, Launcher3 has stopped.
After clicking OK on these all I get is the last one repeating against my lock screen background. I click OK and get it again...and it never stops.
I can access settings and turn on WiFi or the data network, and I can receive calls. I cannot access any applications at all.
I had NovaLauncer on the phone and it worked great. When I go into settings I can only see Launcher3 listed in the Home menu. I tried going to Play Store and selecting another launcher but it seems that my phone does not get notified that there is an update waiting.
Please Help!

Overlays, links opening, and home button not working right

Hi,
First of all, my home button don't work correctly. When I do a simple click and a long click, absolutely nothing happens. But if I do a double click, it does work fine.
Secondly, some overlays don't comes up, like notification or volume changing pop-up or Facebook messenger chat heads just showing the wallpaper not the chat.
Finally, when I receive links from message or mail and click on it and it opens chrome (it's the default one) but it doesn't open the link.
Sometimes ago, I had just the 2 first problems. And just by restarting my phone all was gone.
But now I get all the 3 problems. I tried to factory reset my phone and it fixed the problem but then I had to restart my phone. And all the problems were back.
I got the galaxy note 3 (SM-N9005) with the firmware N9005XXUGBOJ2.
Thank you in advance for the help

The phone app on Vernee Mars keeps crashing

Heya all,
I have this Vernee Mars on Android 7, factory setup, unmodified, not rooted. Kernel 3.18.35.
I've got a problem with the Phone App - where you can dial a phone number or see the latest calls log.
Every time I go in it, it stays open for about a second or so and is reactive - as in, I can select a tab to see recent calls etc. But then crashes, with the simple message "Phone has stopped. Open app again". If I click on the 're-do' button to re-open the app, it states "Phone keeps stopping. Close app"
And so that keeps happening all the time.
I checked in the list of system apps and it shows the Phone app being version 3.00.00, using 600KB of internal storage with all Permissions enabled.
Since I bought the phone online from China, I am not expecting any support whatsoever, my only hope is for a wee bit of advise here, please?
Thanks in advance

Moto X Play stuck in setup wizard loop

Hello, I cannot access my phone at all and it is driving me insane
Some context, a lot of Moto X Play phones have this thing where once the internal storage gets full, the phone goes crazy, the navigation buttons don't work, you can't swipe down for the notification bar, you can't receive or make calls.
I read of a fix that involved using Nova launcher, and using the Activities widget to link SetupWizardTestActivity which opens the Set up wizard and usually fixes the phone
However I've stupidly let my phone get full again and this method has stopped working for me. I am completely stuck in the phone 'welcome' setup loop and cannot get into my phone at all.
What happens is I press next once selecting my language, then I get onto the Wifi setup page which can only be skipped if you have a mobile connection working. This setup process cannot be done with no connection. If I press skip/have a SIM in, it gives me the privacy page which I accept, then puts me on the Add your Google account page. Now if I type in my account, it tells me 'This account already exists on your device'. If I try to make a new one, it leads me through some pages and eventually tells me I must sign in with the account I used when I first set up the phone, which it does not let me.
If I skip the Google account setup page, it just loops me back onto the Privacy page.
I've tried it in safe mode, I've tried wiping the cache partition, I'm not factory resetting the phone.
Thanks to whoever can help me.

Why don't you take a backup using adb? After that you can factory reset your phone.
Use a external SD card as your default write disk after reset.
