App Drawer Folders are reset/emptied after reboots - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been having this issue since I got the phone. When I make a new folder in the drawer and fill it with apps and then reboot the phone, the folder will only have a few or none of the apps I put in it. So I put put the apps back in the folder and continue on my day and after a few cycles of this the folder somehow retains memory of what apps it had and stops resetting. But it's gotten a little annoying 'cause I'm orderly.
Anybody know how to fix this or what's causing it?
I have no other issues with the phone, and it's not even that big of a deal. But it's too bad that my experience with the phone is so close to perfect aside from this little glitch.
Thanks.

i had the same issue and it thru off my ocd LOL.. so im monitoring it atm

Was there ever a solution to this? I'm having the same issue on a Note 3 running v 4.3. If found it asked a couple times quite a while ago, but I haven't found a thread with a solution.

Exact same situation. I've experienced it both on stock and hyper drive roms. I am still having an issue finding the solution. Any news?

MoTweets Crashing??

Hi guys.
I did a search on this issue but it didn't bring up any results.
I'm having issues with motweets crashing on me, anyone else had similar problems and if so can you recommend a fix please?
I'm a UK user on Virgin, I generally keep my phone clean and tidy. Not many apps on it to be honest, plenty of spare memory on both the phone and the memory card. I run cleanRAM and Temp Clear at least once a day and reboot the phone every couple of days just to be on the safe side. I've uninstalled (motweets) and reinstalled it several times on to both the phone and the card but it does the same on either. Basically it started crashing (completely closing with no warning) once a week or so, but now it does it almost immediately after it's updated when I start the programme. I'm pretty sure it's not a 'newer' version than the one I've been using for a few months now, with no issues previously, so I don't think it's a 'software update' problem from Panoramic.
Any suggestions because I can't work it out? Am I missing something really obvious, like a cache folder that needs emptying, or something similar.
I'm by no means an expert but neither would I say I'm a novice too, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Darren.
I have no problems with Motweets,I'm also on Virgin and have loads of Apps loaded on my phone.
Currently running V 1.8.5 which I believe is the latest version brought out
to solve the Oauth log in problems...
Hope that is some help to you Flatcap ?
yip - have had the same problem today.
motweets has worked fine so far. but to say it crashes around 5-15 secs after opening

Sounds almost identical to my problem, very strange.
I was using HTC Peep but moved over to motweets after the OAuth c**k up. And to be honest, as a Twitter App, it's streets ahead of Peep so I stayed with it. I am using the free version though, the adverts are discreet enough, so I don't really see them as a problem.
Flatcap.
I had the same problem, went back to using the built in app for a while, then after a few days tried MoTweets again and it worked fine for a couple of weeks.
Now it's crashing as above once more!

[Q] Sync Icon

Ok, so I've done some searching and I've found my problem is pretty widespread over a few different devices. However, it seems like no one has come up with a solution. My problem is this, SO a couple weeks ago I had the sync icon pop up in my notification bar. But then it didn't go away. I've tried looking on other forums for this solution but nothing yet. Thought I'd see if anyone here has the same problem and if possible, how to fix it. I can't help but think my battery life is suffering since it seems that since this started happening I notice the battery drain a bit faster than it used to.
I've tried several different possible solutions, except a reset. I loathe the idea of a reset, but if that's what I have to do then I will.
Running stock version. 2.2
Solution...
I decided to give up on my weeks long search for an answer online and called support today. Figured out it was the ooVoo application I had installed for video chat. It seems to keep your device in this perpetual sync mode even though you're not in that application. Once I deleted it the damned thing went away. My Tab, now with more battery power for Angry Birds.

[HELP] DHD wakes up by itself

Hey,
I have a major problem for a couple of weeks now. My phone just keeps waking up randomly and turns the screen on by itself. I have root and s-off and tried out a few roms. Sense Roms as well as MIUI roms... It does not make a difference at all, so I guess it can't be rom related. I have read a few more posts on the web of users having a similar problem but there was no solution given anywhere.
Also, my speaker automatically turns on when I receive or make a call. These two problems seem interconnected since there is at least one person on xda having exactly the same two issues...
Does anybody have an idea or a solution for this? I would be thankful for any kind of help! Thank you in advance!!!
I've a similar problem a bunch of months ago, my phone turn on automatically, without no logic. I've resolved the problem pulling out the battery for a night, after that the problem disappeared.
I hope that will help you to resolve your problem,
Rodomar705
Thanks, I will try that out tonight and report!
Ok, I tried it out last night, but it did not work
Does anybody have a different idea?

Did you check the date and time once you'd insert battery inside DHD? I think to solve the problem that way, you should leave DHD without battery until the internal battery will be totally discharged. It takes approx. 12-14 hours, and you can be sure only if turning on DHD you'll find time and date set to 12:00am, 1st jan 1980 (or something like that).
Yeah, it definately worked though, time was resetted as well. I turned it in today, hope to be able to pick it up next week. Before, I ran the Ruu to set it back to shipping condition... It still had the same error, so it is definately not rom related...
It is a huge drag without it... Already feeling uncomfortable ^^

Sorry mate!! Just wait for a week, ist not so long time, and you'll get back your phone as new as when you bought first time!! Hope this makes you feel a little bit of joy!!
Ok, I have gotten my phone back on thursday (after one week)...
SO far so good, everything worked again, they even set the proximity sensor right again... Then I rerooted it and put another MIUI on it...
On friday then, I put Vipermod back in and undervolted it by 50 mA... BOOM, the issue came back, I couldn't remove it, so I took the battery out and waited for 12 hours, as you suggested... and it worked... Issue was gone... Then I ran vipermod again and BOOM the issue was there again... It didn't even help to set the mA values back to normal, I had to reset it again by taking out the battery for 12 hours.
So my conclusion is that this issue is directly related to the actual USE (not just the installation) of vipermod... Can anyone confirm? Don't want to put out false information in the vipermod thread without having others to confirm...
need help also

If changing the ROM didn't help then it is an app issue. One of your apps is causing it. Time to look deeper
I have exactly the same issue! Also with the speaker sometimes. Really annoying. If an app is causing it, how can we find out which one? I'm using ARHD 6.1.0, but I've had the issue with older versions of the ROM too (with the same apps installed).

Only way to find out is to test them one by one by reinstalling them one at a time

PLEASE HELP!!! Problematic Phone - Cant ODIN!!

I need your help guys. Been on here for years, rooted every phone I have ever owned (multiple carriers). Self taught through trial and error and reading threads on here. But I have now ran into an issue that I have never seen or heard of and cant seem to find something on here to help. A friend of mine has Verizon Galaxy S5 and recently had to replace it through the insurance plan he had on it from Verizon. He had been complaining for a while and has finally agreed to let me take a look and see if I can fix it. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING!!! (that I can think of). This is extremely frustrating. Below ill list the issues and things Ive tried.
Issues:
Operating system crashes
Rebooting on its own
Wont load up when turned on
Apps crashing
Battery wont last long
and general "Jankyness" haha (seriously though)
These issues are constant issues meaning all happen constantly throughout the day and night.
I have tried multiple factory resets through the settings and through stock recovery
Just tried using Odin to fix this aaaannndddd NNOOO GO!!! 8-O
i have used Odin many times, never seen it not work like this. If anyone has an explanation for this and a recommended solution that would be great!! Thanks all for reading this and hopefully I can help my friend.

if your friend's S5 is running OE1, you're out of luck:

if this replacement phone has been malfunctioning since he got it, I'd raise a ruckus with Verizon.

Custom ROM starts to play up after a few days i9505

Hi guys,,
I have an i9505 with RRv5.7.3 flashed and a strange thing seems to be happening....
Whenever I do a clean install of RR and install my apps everything runs GREAT, Its nice and snappy and everything just "works"....
Then about 3 days after install, and doing nothing but general usage, it starts to play up all sorts of funny, from different apps randomly crashing or acting really buggy to random reboots.....
This happens with both RR v5.7.1 and RR v5.7.3,, I was going to try the latest RR but I have a feeling its going to be the same issue.
Can anyone help me with this??
Thanks in advance

You can read through the Resurrection Remix thread and you will get the answer to your question. To the "Has anyone experienced an issue like this?" question I mean.

Yeah, that's what I expected. So it must be something unique to you. In other words, it could be something you've done or are doing that causes this. Maybe an app.
The fact remains that ROMs usually don't work perfectly fine for a few days then simply start to go crazy. Something must have triggered it.

Yeah, thats what gets me though... I do a fresh install and install my apps all within a day, and it runs fine, then a few days later it starts... little things at first like keyboard popping up then down then back up again, but I can live with things like that but after a week or two and not installing anything just general usage it gets worse and worse until the point I can't even browse the web or I can be on a call then the "phone" app crashes and then I go to make another call then it will reboot on me....
Maybe it could be a hardware problem? The phones been very looked after though but you never know.
I had a similar problem with a Linux machine I was building... It would run great, then after a while it would do funny things I couldn't wrap my head around, then next day would be fine then bad again....
It turned out that certain system files and some required packages had been installed onto bad sectors on the HDD.....

Could be a low memory issue. I mean low RAM.

I thought that, but I have a RAM display and its never chewed up more that 1200MB
Have you tried installing another ROM? Like lineage os or any touchwiz based rom?
