Hi there. I just bought an N8000 and whenever I turn off screen the mobile network turns off and shows a circle with a slash in the middle. The device is on ICS 4.0.4. Whenever the screen is turned off no incoming calls can be received. Its product code is GT-N8000ZWAAFR. I have done 5 or 6 factory resets but the result is the same. Also, no incoming calls can be received when screen is off. If I am in the middle of a call and the screen shuts off, the line gets disconnected. I have also tested with two other SIM cards from different providers (all of whom have great reception in my area) but the same result.
I have checked the device update on my note 10.1 but still no updates either from OTA or Kies. I have scoured the internet and xda forums for similar problems to no avail. I checked out samir_a's guide to reinstall to a different region stock rom (I'm thinking Germany) but I'm confused whether I'll be able to receive OTA updates (some posts say I won't) as it will no longer match my region code, and I don't plan on manually flashing ever again.
Please please please help.
same problem

Thanks for the reply.
Well I had warranty so didn't want to mess with it further. I took it back to the store and they gave me a new one. They however found the problem to be quite weird.
Also the previous one had a AFR CSC code, which I checked on sammobile to be still stuck on ICS 4.0.4 .. The replacement I got also had ICS 4.0.4 on it with CSC code COA (which is Romania ). I checked OTA after getting home but showed no updates (I selected Romania as my country when it asked for my location). On connecting it to Kies it found an update. I let it finish it's job and voila JB 4.1.2. \
I couldn't be happier.:laugh:
I've listed nine issues I've had with the Lollipop 5.0 Update on my Note 3:
1) Screenshot not working as before (before I could simply press the button on my S-Pen, then touch the screen, and get a Screen Shot. Doesn't work anymore. Swipe also does not work. Have to hold Power and Home Buttons to get a Screen Shot now)
2) Increased Battery Drain
3) WiFi issues (new WiFi issue that I never had before Lollipop 5.0 Update)
3a) Did have other WiFi issues before Lollipop 5.0 Update. Also have always had serious problems with connecting via T-Mobile Data service. Our Charter Internet service is much better, rock solid, stable connection between 65-67mbps!!!
4) Bluetooth issues (Random disconnect, but I did have this issue before, and after, Lollipop 5.0 Update)
5) Multi-window (doesn't work!)
6) RAM usage increase by 500MB !!!
7) Multi-Task doesn't work
8) Air Command
9) Random Reboot (had this issue before Lollipop 5.0 Update too)
I've called Tech Support many times. They have NOT been able to help me with ANY of these issues ... !!! I just discovered a few minutes ago all by myself how to get Air Command to work. After messing around for several hours ...... I accidentally >>> Double-clicked on my S-Pen, and guess what happened ..... Air Command popped up !!! It works. Strange that numerous Samsung Tech Support people would not know this solution. They all went through the usual >>> Reboot > Clear Cache > Safe Mode Boot > Wipe Cache Partition .....
Then the Tech Support all told me the only solution is to take my Note 3 to Best Buy and have them do a Reflash, or send my Note 3 in for repairs or replacement, or do a Factory Reset.
Now if I can just figure out how to get Multi-Window working again ...... (stopped working after Lollipop 5.0 Update several days ago).
I agree. My only real complaint is the wifi problem. It doesn't disconnect/turn off, it just stops responding/sending and receiving data. I have to toggle the wifi on and off to get it to work again. Now, if this was only a once and a while thing, then fine I could live with it. But this is happening within 10 minutes of being on wifi. Everytime! I usually have phones with custom roms on them, but since KNOX came around it makes me hesitate to pull the trigger on rooting. If anyone has suggestions I'm open to them. Or, if anyone can ASSURE that there is a way to root a t-mobile note 3 running lollipop 5.0 WITHOUT tripping KNOX (and not just a cosmetic cover up to display KNOX as not tripped) I'm definitely open to that option as well. Just tired of no wifi. I've done the obvious of a factory reset and it didn't fix anything.
Also, to address some of your issues. I had a battery drain problem, but the factory reset fixed that. And as for the ram usage...you want android to use your ram. You want ANY OS to use as much ram as possible. Thats what gives you your best performance. i may be stating the obvious there, but I felt compelled to.... If you didn't try a factory reset, I'd recommend that
Homtom HT10
a new official firmware has been released:
HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170226.zip
http://www.homtom.cc/
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By2t6rTTiNQNcEJ1QkpKQnhzck0/view?usp=sharing
no change log unfortunately
could you please report if those major bugs listed bellow are finally fixed?
is it rootable? if yes, how?
- no OTA update
- losing user language preference (simcard default language is used instead)
- losing connectivity (cannot make/receive calls)
- iris / pattern unlock crash/reboot
- random reboot
- screen calibration issue (not responding sometimes and it cannot be fixed with calibration apps from Google store)
- blurry pictures (slow focus and shutter speed)
- bad audio quality (over saturated)
- clean of malwares and chinese apps
Hardware features that were announced but never won't be available (fake advertising / SCAM):
- 5Ghz Wi-Fi compatibily
- NFC
- OTG
*** UPDATE ***
Ok folks... I removed the simcard and also the battery few seconds and flashed latest firmware with sp_flash_tool (firmware mode not download mode) and lost everything (all apps / data) but there is a good news... smartphone doesn't lose language preference anymore!
unfortunately smartphone is still losing connectivity and network (cannot make/receive calls even if there is network signal !)
(I thought it was solved too because it has worked almost half a day but actually i've still got this issue!)
so HomTom HT10 is still a useless 'smart' brick...
And HomTom is doing the same than UMI: banning from their Facebook page users reporting bugs or false avertising (OTG/NFC/Wi-Fi 5Ghz/full bands support/...).
Got mine 2 weeks ago and have not experinced any of the problem above. I think you have got a bad phone only(fake copy?).
I had a update as soon as I started the phone and it is now HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170225, hmm yours is 0226.
I am no super user of phones but this one is working very good only the sound when doing the iris thing is annoying.

Anyway there is a new official firmware... Anyone tried it already?
@ homtom.cc
HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170510.zip
I'm looking for an English (or global) custom ROM for this device running Android 6.x or 7.x
MoKee, GizROM, LineageOS 13/14/15. Any ROM 100% working.
I bought one of these a while back and using it on the T-Mobile network for over 8 months. I also have not had any trouble that you stated above such as loosing connectivity or the iris scan crashing. I do agree that it would be nice if you could turn off the iris scan noise though. Love this phone and glad I took a chance when ordering it.
I may have found this thread a little late, but here I am. I have the Homtom HT10 running the firmware Android-6.0-V01-20161202 and I was able to root the device using Kingo Root. It's been a while, but I think there were some additional steps to go through before this root worked. My question is if anyone here has had success in rooting one of the newer firmwares, since I'm not sure if this root would survive the firmware update and I wouldn't want to lose root access.
Also, does anyone know how to replace the Kingo Superuser app with Chainfire's version?
mine was working good, i rooted , and install magisk and after a while i loose connectivity when make calls..i flash full firmware..format and all the stuff and still cannot make callss

I've flashed HOMTOM-HT10-Android6.0-V01-20170622 and so far all works pretty good (it keeps the language)...
Only audio EQ quality is poor (distorsion) and volume / quality issue in phone calls.
Not sure yet if OS is able to switch properly from a deficient 4G network to 3G/2G (because i'm currently using forced 3G mode in settings) but it seems to work better than previously.
flashing the Rom
Hi guys. I'm having trouble loading the latest firmware thru sp flash tool.
I'm running Windows 10 and I've installed the extra drivers.
Would love some help.
Thanks

I used a different version of flash tool and it started when I put the battery in. There's so many versions of flash tool I guess. But I got it working.
Thanks for the response!

My HT10 (got it a month ago) GPS not working
Hi guys
My HT10 GPS in to working. The phone is new, I just got it, and it literally only has viber and Here maps on.
The GPS tested today, not working.
Under a sky with no clouds in the middle of a field with no obstructing buildings and no signal whatsoever.
custom build version: alps-mp-m0.mp9-v1.33_aeon6797.6c.m_p11
Hello
I am french and I live in Ireland.
I have same problem with my Homtom HT10. My smartphone is still losing connectivity and network (cannot make/receive calls even if there is network signal !). I indicated the problem to Homtom who asked me to update Firmware but it did not improve the problem. Homtom suggests me sending back the smartphone for repair but postal charges are very expensive for China.
No solution... I have to restart my Homtom all days if I want to send a SMS or make a phone call.
Perhaps a problem with the SIM Card ?
I got mine since 4 months ago.
Probably the worst android I ever got.
It is fast ok and charge is really quick but its always losing connection. Its more like a photo camera and mp3 than phone.
The other stupid thing is that can connect Wifi 5Ghz and the 2.4 is really slow.
I have already stock firmarware 20170622
Serious Homtom ??
Hi
My question to Homtom :
When Androïd 7.0 Nougat is going to arrive for my Homtom HT10 ?
Homtom's answer :
Dear customer,
Hello.
Unfortunately, we don't have any available news about update to Android 7.0 on HT10 at present. Please note that the original Android platform could not be upgraded in normal situation.
Best regards!

It's not a joke... An incompetent technical department
Hi there!
A few weeks ago I flashed the OTA update to Nougat and since then I have primarily two annoying issues:
1) WIFI disconnects when phone is locked (screen off)
2) mobile data stops working randomly when phone is locked
Issue #1 is noticeably when I unlock the phone and a message appears that it is connecting to the WIFI AP.
Issue #2 is noticeably when I unlock the phone and have no internet connection. And then realize why I got no new messages the past 2 hours. But it really sucks when I use navigation on my bicycle and the app stops navigating because no internet connection (Naviki and Impulse app)...
And it's not only my phone. A collegue and different other people with the German version of the S6 updated to Android N reported the exact same issues...
Samsung Galaxy S6 G920F (64 GB)
build nr.: NRD90M.G920FXXU5EQDF
kernel: 3.10.61-10958180 [email protected] #1
.
I'm facing the same problem. Especially with mobile data.
Yesterday I did a full wipe with a clean install (no backup) aaand it's the same sh** again!
Btw: Today my coworker told me that his S6 with 128 GB has a different ROM than the 64 GB versions...
hey guys,
after testing lineage and android 8 stock, i went back to my beloved phoenix rom by tamirda.
now, my phone does a beep instead of vibrate in system. vibration works still fine in bootup and in recovery/TWRP.
i need android 6.0.1 modem and bootloader files but can't find them anywhere to download. this samfw site wants a monthly paid subscription.
does anyone still got the files for me or can help me in any way? i rly rely on vibration for everything my phone does cause i hate sounds/ringtoines.
(plz tell me if you need more information)
greets and have a nice day
