Note 3 booting issues - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

everytime I poweroff my phone it takes about a good 10 min to finally turn on , itll keep going from lockscreen to Tmobile 4g lte screen, is there something Im doing wrong

Not sure what kind of response you are expecting.
You have provided no info about your device, what status it is in, if you rooted, changed roms, did some modification etc...
How can anyone comment on your issue without any info other than to say that is not normal behavior.

Sorry, well it's a Tmobile Note 3, rooted and no roms, I have some apps transfered to my SD card, and that's about it really

So... did you try moving the apps back and see if that fixed the problem? There could be issues with that plus the phone does have a lot of internal storage.

10 minutes? How many apps do you have installed? I use Go Task Manager and remove as many boot apps from start-up as possible. Speeds things up.

Try removing your sd card. If that fixes it I recommend backing up the card, reformat it on the phone then restore your data

This worked, I moved all my things to the device and reformatted the SD card and now it doesn't take long to boot at all. Thanks!

thats not working perfect, thats called one f'd up phone.
sounds like a bad memory card and you can wipe and format all day long, the card is still bad.
are you using a different card than the one that came with the phone?
if so put the original back
if not, go get a different card.
if the original is bad take it to the sprnt store and see if they can replace it.

format sd card

I read alot of times the suggestion is to format the sd card. My question is since I am still new is do I simply move what I want to save (pictures) to my PC and then format? Do all the folders get automatically put back?
Thanks

Copy the data you want to your PC, format it, and copy the data back. Formatting destroys all data on the card.
Will the folders on the card now be put back on at some point by the phone itself?

Anything you didn't put there yourself, or download to it (e.g. in a browser, through Beautiful Widgets, or photos), yes.
Thanks. I am one of those noob's that was de-flowered in the world of flashing roms by Frozen 1.01. Went to 1.02 and was late to work becuase of 1.1 coming out last night. Thanks for what you all do and how much help you guys give to guys like me.

I'm also still pretty new too. What is the benefit of formatting the sd card? I've never done it but I flash different roms all the time to check them out.

[Q] How much memory is accessible?

I've just purchased a used Verizon HTC Driod Incredible & started noticing something unusual about its memory capacity.
It was preloaded with Redemptive rEvolution 2.2 ROM & no matter what I did, I could not see nor access the Internal Phone Storage.
And the available Phone Memory is only 149Mb.
Is this normal? Please take a look at the screenshot I made using screencast.
I'm not convinced it is as the specs and what I see do not match.
From the Wiki:Memory:Flash 8GB + 1GB(748mb free)/RAM 512MB​I've since reverted to the stock Android 2.2 ROM & it is still behaving the same way.
Does anyone know how I can restore access to the Internal Phone Storage?
Removing the 4Gb microSD card & restarting the phone does nothing to restore access to the Internal Phone Storage.
Please advise me.
Thanks!

That's weird that it isn't showing it, does it come up on your computer if you plug it in?

I would try a different Rom maybe? I show the correct amount on mine (running a stockish Rom-peanut).

I agree that it's weird...all I see when I connect it to my computer are two removable drives & one CD drive that was added.
All are empty & without any storage capacity.
This was with the SD card already ejected.
EMMC support?

I'm currently running the stock Verizon 3.26.605.1 ROM on it so I'm not sure which other stock ROM to load up.
Someone in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12810529&postcount=2 alluded to the fact that some ROM do not support emmc.
Any idea whether the stock roms support emmc?
It would be very strange if the stock roms do not or else they would never show the 8Gb internal storage in a stock phone.
How much internal phone storage & phone memory does your phone display?

System Status always Modified.

In a bit of a pickle.
No matter what I do, my system status is always modified.
I've unrooted with TA, flashed stock, then wiped cache, wipe data, and wipe cache.
It shows normal the first boot.
Then when it restarts, it's modified again.
Suggestions?

You have to do a data/factory reset in settings/backup and restore mate.That should fix it.
Tried that, still modified.
Get it rooted again. Install triangle away and use it. Then flash stock rom via odin, wipe cache/data and factory reset. Viola!
Thats what I did and it worked.

That's the steps I went through.
Are there any special steps I need before I flash via Odin?
Just TA?
Does it still show Normal after a restart?
Cos for me, it's shows Normal, and just after one reboot, it's automagically modified.
Try to factory reset again. I did it twice
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Done that loads of times.
As soon as I restart device, it shows modified.
I need to claim warranty, which is why I need it normal normal normal.
Could it be a problem of the stock firmware?
Does anyone know the CSC of the unlocked version of the N7100?
a friend of mine wanted to claim warranty at o2 in Leeds but couldn't due to device modified. He raised hell but the store wouldn't budge. One of the store sales people asked him if he had insurance, he had.. puked him to one side pretending to calm him down, and told him to go home, or coffee over the phone and come back tomorrow to claim insurance for a new phone.
My friend went back, did that.. and the store salesguy have him another phone under insurance.
My friend could b real lucky and might not work for u. For obvious reasons he won't tell me the name of the kind understanding fellow. But he left a letter of compliment for the sales guy good service.

I would do that, but won't accept a refurbished device over my new one.
If only they give new replacements.
Anyway, I finally got it back to Normal.
I used Kies to restore it, and it's on Normal no matter how many times I restart.
I think I just needed to reflash it twice to get it back to Normal.
We'll see what they say today, as I went in yesterday, and they somehow said my CSC isn't valid... wtf.
Apologies if not relevant...
...but my brand new, sealed box Vodafone N-7100 shows "Modified" until I remove the SD card, at which point it show "Unmodified" and allows update check etc. but as soon as I put in the SD card again.
I was panicking that it had been rooted or something but I think it's just a weird software bug. I found a guy in a forum mentioning the SD card thing and sure enough it fixed it for me.
My SD card is 64GB, formatted as exFAT by the phone itself, incidentally.
Anyone else having this problem with a 100% stock, unrooted, unhacked phone?
U mean if u insert a 64gb sdcard formatted to exfat or will show modified? That's weird. Lucky I use 32gb cards
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Hi,
Yes that's exactly right. I haven't actually tried formatting FAT32 to see if it has the same issue. Also I haven't tried other SD cards - I've only had the phone a short while.
I used to use the same SD card in my Galaxy S2 with no issues.

I have the same issue with a T-Mobile (US) version. Removing the 64GB exFAT micro SD card and rebooting causes the device status to change from Modified to Normal. Reinserting the micro SD card causes the device status to show as Modified. Is the only fix to format the SD card as FAT32?

Hello,
You really need to check your original csc sold in your country, then you must download it from sammobile and flash again!

I haven't tried it either. The issue still exists following the T-Mobile system update that I just installed today. I was able to install the update with the SD card removed.

Sd card

I just got my tmobile lgg3 and put in sd card I had in s5 it says I have none or doesnt support file system.Mine is exfat and I dont know if stock could only read fat32 but it doesnt recognize it on exfat.
Be careful, cause I put my SD card from my note 3 into the G3 and it corrupted my card... I had to reformat the card and lost everything...

I would transfer the data off the card onto a pc....format the card..try it and if okay then transfer it all back to be safe. Sd cards can be finicky to say the least

I'm using the card that I bought when I purchased a Motorola droid x back in 2010. I've swapped it to every phone I've owned since. Never had a single issue. Guess I'm just lucky.
