TW Android Lollipop Bug - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anybody else getting this bug where if you try to set a PIN on the lockscreen, it won't stick and it will revert to swipe?
I am using SIM PIN if that's a problem but does anyone have a solution because it worked fine on AOSP Lollipop and this bug happens across every TW Lollipop rom I've run so far.

Sorry sir, not having the issue. Did you a full wipe? Sorry if I offend, just trying to troubleshoot a little.

yes!
I too happen to have this issue, and whats even worse is that am confronting this bug on the official lollipop 5.0 release, other issues am also dealing with are:
1. The SD card keeps unmounting itself.
2. Some files on my SD card just vanished (PS: they were in a folder called 'backup', just thought to mention that if it would have mattered)
3. The battery life isn't that great either.
so yeah am kinda suffering here, IF you had gone through any of those and managed to fix it, please do let us know. thanks in advance.

No Vibrate - CM11

Hi Everyone,
I've been running CM 11 since I got this phone a few weeks ago. I installed it on the first day.
One thing I didn't think to check to make sure was working when I got it (it was a refurb off Swappa) was that the vibration was working, so I don't know if this is caused by CM or if it's a known issue.
Does anyone else have this problem and it's part of CM or do I need to reflash to stock and check to see if it's a hardware issue?
Thank you.
EDIT:
If it matters, I have the Verizon version.
Bumping - I'd really like to avoid flashing to stock and having to re-root and go through the whole process just to verify if my vibrate is working.

SGH-i337M Sound causing crashes

Hello Everyone,
For some reason, no matter what ROM I flash, each have the common issue of any sound causing crashes. This includes trying to make a phone call, listen to music, or watch a video. I am currently running on AOSP SlimRom 4.4.2 (not like this is ROM exclusive, it has happened on every ROM I have tried).
This problem occurred once I semi-bricked my phone, I flashed stock, and then re-rooted. After that, it seems as if no ROM has been fully functional. SlimRom has been wonderful and works in every aspect except the sound issue.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? If you need more information just let me know and i'll be sure to provide it.
EDIT: I also face data drops when I lock my phone (and reconnects when it unlocks), not sure if this is relevant but worth mentioning.
Thank you very much,
W.

I would redo the whole stock, root, recovery but with fresh downloads. What variant are you on?

I would really like that to be the last option before I jump into that whole process. Attached is a photo of my phone's information.
EDIT: I tried to unroot/re-root and the problems all persist.
Fixed
FIX: Flashed a new modem/hlos and it fixed the problem, thanks for the help!
Hi.. i have the same problem with the sound + he freezes and restarts. After hi restarts hi freeze after the Samsung logo when the at&t logo apears. If I shoot it down and start it he works for some time. Can anyone help me? :') and maybe give me a firmware with Romanian language? I have 4.4.2 now.
Can someone help me to flash a new modem to my s4? Maybe it will work fine after that

[Q] Data Works, but No MMS Sending or Receiving. Absolutely Infuriating, Please Help!

LS980 on most recent CM12 Nightly (problem persists on BlissPop offical however). I am on the Ting cell network.
This is the second time I've encountered this problem within a couple of months, and I don't remember how I fixed it the first time...
Any CM12 based ROM (BlissPop, CM, Resurrect) has this issue. I've verified that APN settings are correct, and I'm certain I'm using the right radio file. Tethering and internet browsing all work correctly, just MMS is not working.
Any help is appreciated, I'm really not in the mood for this right now. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate for the next couple of days and just want my damn phone to work.
I'm pretty convinced at this point that this is a residual bug in the CM source code that still, after several months, has not been resolved.

Edit: Does anyone have any recommendations on a good 4.4 ROM to use? And what modem does that require? (ZVE, ZV8, or whatever)
Yeah I'm 100% sure at this point this is a bug in the CM code. I'm sick of this, going back to stock. I know I'm using the correct modem/bootstack/APN. I've ruled out absolutely everything other than the CM source.
Does anyone know of a decent 4.4 ROM that's still available that I could flash? Paranoid Android looked good but all the files are offline from the OP's thread. I need full use of my phone so I have to go back to stock but I know it's a bloated piece of **** so if I could find a stable KitKat ROM that would be great.

Wifi dropping on Miui 7.5.0.3 Android 5.1.1

Hello guys.
I have one Redmi 2 Prime Global with Miui 7.5.0.3 Android 5.1.1 and after it changed, thru OTA, to Lolipop the wifi got crazy.
It's connected in wifi but it, randomly, stop traffinc data. A simple put in airplane mode, fix it, but after a couple of minutes I lose the wifi again.
For the sake of the discussion, I already have searched all the internet and the mess that is the Miui forums. Some other users have the same issues but there's no information about solution.
It seems that it's a driver issue with lolipop and even the Miui 8 beta has this problems. I know because I have tried it.
I trully appreciate if anyone can help me on this issue or knows any more info about it. Thank you.

Welp. flashing Jerrica makes things better, but does not solve it.
Now my phone has a more stable wifi, but its has the same issues still and randomly reboots (something like one time in a couple of days).
Any more suggestions are welcome, as it seems that you have experienced similar issue.
This might not be the Problem but I think it is ....
Flashing MIUI Update 7.5.3 caused many a Problem ,
Like , the Navigation bar Stops working .. Volume keys Stop working , phone Reboots itself and heats like hell ...
I tried Every Method to solve it , even with a Format , didn't work ,,.. then I just reflashed the ROM and it was Gone .. if you don't want to Do a Format (dalvik/cache/data wipe) then Dirty flash it again .. but I'll say , do a proper flash , backup all your apps and data using titanium backup , upload your things to google and do a Proper flash ..
Hope it solves it , I have Experienced the problem and This Solved it in many cases apart from This too . MIUI 7.5.3 supports both 5GHz and 2.5GHz so it shouldn't be a Problem with Wifi ..

I think you should flash a fastboot rom of 7.5.3, i am out of suggestions:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Quick update, for the sake of who has the same problem.
Nothing fixed it (in any lolipop version). But last week Xiaomi published the Miui 8.6.9.29 beta, after a few weeks with a pending update for the Redmi 2 prime. With this update the wifi, finally, is fixed.
Thank you guys for the help.

NFC not working and no brightness control

Hi I've done a clean install on i9505 jfltexx and NFC's not working. I've put on latest weekly and latest micro opengapps, I can launch Android Pay but there's no tap. I've installed loads of different NFC tools and tried to read contactless cards, RFID alarm tags and another NFC phone but my phone just doesn't acknowledge them. I've tried several different batteries known to work with NFC, so I'm stumped. I saw a really brief message on a reddit post there's an NFC issue but that's about it, can anyone else help?
Also cannot adjust brightness at all, can move slider but no effect, another reddit post says there's a potential problem anyone else know what the issue is and how can I help resolve it if it's a rom issue?
Thanks
Clean install of WHAT?
LOS, sorry I thought that would have been obvious?
Flash the latest stock rom. If everything works under the stock rom, this indicates a issue with the custom ROM.
All the links to stock ROM took hours to download so haven't had chance yet but I have tried resurrection and mi ROMs last night and both issues show up too. I'm interested to know if anyone is using NFC on lineage with success on 9505?
Then try one of the custom TouchWiz ROMs. It's the closest you'll get without having to wait hours.
