Factory Mode In "running" programs? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Anyone know what this is? It shows up in my "running" programs but when I stop it, it doesn't seem to hurt anything.

I had that happen on my N7100. I had a yellow box on TW but it disappeared when I was using Apex. In my case something was corrupt in my EFS but I still could make call and had data. I just flashed a back up of my efs and it went away.

Re: Factory Mode?
Interesting....my imei is fine... everything else seems okay. Occasionally the sound will get stuck at off...don't think that is related. .. how did you narrow it down to a corrupted efs?

Wifi loop on ics

I havnt been able to connect to wifi the past few weeks i thought it was just my home wifi but it doesnt work at public wifi hotspots and tethering has stoped working aswell. The phone connects then authenticates the acquires an ip then loops back to the original non connected state. Is this like damaged hardware or is it an OS issue possibly an app screwin it up. Ive seen other people with this problem but no anwsers. I'm running stock everything.

you can lose your wifi simply by holding the left side while its sideways and if your holding the top as you type on it. I just simply cant connect to wifi anymore im on stock rooted rom i might try a full wipe with a new rom/kernel

TWRP backup fails

Whenever I try to backup all partitions in TWRP (system,data,efs,modem) it always fails with different symptoms. Usually it happens after it's done with system and is working on data. Symptoms are that sometimes it reboots into Android, sometimes reboots to recovery and sometimes just hangs. In all cases, I see some random size data.win created. I tried to remove data or system from backup and both times it succeeded. But with both enabled, it succeeded only 2 times. Both times I had CleanRom instałled. It never worked with other roms.
Also I tried both internal and external storage. Same effect.
Has anyone seen something like that? Any idea how to fix?

Look in the twrp thread in original android development. Pull a recovery log for bigbiff:thumbup:

I tried without compression and it went through. Thanks for the idea of this workaround.
I will also check twrp thread.

Sounds like some corrupt data somewhere. If it were me, I'd do a clean wipe and reflash.
wipe data, partition cache and dalvik cache. flash the stock rom.
Ok will do . Lets hope its not a defective phone

I had a similar issue with one of my phones.. It ended up being a defective phone, and this was after it was rooted.. My wife's phone also rooted never had a issue.. If you feel it is defective after trying the above, flash back to full stock, and return it. Tell Sprint you are invoking your Samsung Warranty.. Sprint will always try to get you to use your insurance, which is bullpoop..
Phone is outside the return period so either it gets replaced by samsung or Sprint

If you have a SD Card - you might want to remove it to see if that helps as well. borked sd cards can cause the phone to act rather weird. I hope its just a simple fix.

Thats true. I've seen that happen several times
Try just reformatting your sdcard if you have one: back it up to your computer, format your sd, then restore all your files

Numbers showing incorrectly when call comes in

So ever since I've gotten the phone (9:00 am yesterday) all my calls have been showing up incorrectly when I am receiving them. I just wanted to know if anybody else has the same issue and what you did to resolve it.

I am so glad someone else is having this issue I've spent most of the day trying to resolve it. Ok, what I know so far:
It only happens on WIFI calling. I've cleared the wifi calling app no dice.
Customer service is unaware of the issue. They said use a different email account. UH NO I've had my gmail since it was in Beta.
I've reset my device twice it comes back after I re-install gmail I think it comes with the restore function I've tried stopping the restore function but it keeps coming back
Let me know if you fix it. I had a note two there may be a correlation
Same thing happens to me but only during wifi calling. No big

Same boat guys. Only happens during wifi calling. Very annoying to tell you the truth. Any help would be appreciated.

Ahh I see so that's what triggers it. I suppose they'll issue a fix once they find out what's causing it

I have a thread on Google + it is somehow tied to wifi calling and to Google contacts sync. Anyway you have to clear the cache partition. Hold down volume up, home and power keys until you see Samsung note 3 then release just power until you are in recovery then chose volume down to clear cache and power button to select then restart you may have to factory reset the device
It seems fixed on my phone but a friend is still having trouble
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Yeah that didn't work for me. I want to try re flashing instead of resorting but it just so happens that Kies doesn't support the note 3 yet.

Your fine ! Just that Kitkat is all the rage, so I assumed you were on that too.
Try this : Settings >>> Apps >>>>ALL... Find the settings running app. Then CLEAR CACHE. You cannot clear data though.
Hope it helps !
Also, Philz latest (I think 6.14 or 6.16) has some bugs. I would just flash a generic CWM. TWRP latest also is buggy.
Thanks Man I appreciate your help. I'm not so sure about the e980 and KitKat yet on ATT sounds pretty buggy so I'm still holding off.

Hey community, I need your help here pretty bad. I was running the aicp 7.0 release but ended up flashtooling back to bone stock. I am getting constant and random reboots. Sometimes it is a bootloop, sometimes it gets to the att logo, sometimes it makes it to my home screen, and sometimes I can actually use it for 10 or 15 minutes but it always fails and reboots. Is there anything I can try? I am totally stumped. I figured a tot file flash back to stock would have solved this but it didn't. It almost seems like a hardware failure but I have never dropped it, got it wet nothin. Another real odd deal is when I can't get it to come out of a loop, if I take the back cover off it will start up. I thought maybe it was the connection on the back cover so I put a piece of tape over it but it still does it, but even now it is working with the back cover off but randomly reboots. Its always like this, my signal drops to no bars with the red x and then freezes then reboots. Sometimes it's when I wake it up, and sometimes it's when I start a program. Can anyone please give me some hope?
