Thanks guys. I do currently have an app Chooser available to populate my current widget. I was just looking for a way to make it easier to add apps to the widget.

After searching around and trying different things I figured it wasn't possible but never found any info good or bad so I figured I would ask the experts.

Thanks again for your help! :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] mattchu123:
Anybody know how to tell which carrier my DNA would be flashed to? I bought a phone online, and I've been having a hell of a time trying to activate it on Verizon's network. The previous owner did not wipe his data before giving the device to me, and I noticed that there were apps that pertained to PagePlus. So I have a suspicion that this DNA might be flashed for PagePlus and not Verizon. Is there a way to reflash this device back to Verizon network or am I just screwed?
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
If the ESN was modified than you need special software to restore it. I'm not an expert on this but I've had lots of phones flashed. All the software and the data profile can be restored from the phone but restoring the ESN takes a bit more. What's more is without the box or the original ESN tag it will be hard to know if its been changed or not.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan37tz:
As a big Samsung smartphone fan, I was hugely disappointed with the S4. Micro stutters and lag EVERYWHERE it drove me crazy.

I was really REALLY hoping the Note 3 with the S800 powerhouse will remedy the lag, according to the many videos so far of the device it seems crazy but I can still see some micro stuttering going on. WTF Samsung!?

My Note 2 was literally lag and micro stutter free, is it too much to ask for your "Next big thing" to perform the same?

I have my fingers crossed that the final software will give a smooth buttery user experience, if not I'm jumping ship for reals.. you know what they say, fool me twice......
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamPro:
I am hoping the 3GB of RAM help this and eventually root happens so we can remove the bloat :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathshead:
See no stutters and everyone Note 2 owner I speak to says the device performs excellent.

Are you speculating it will be slow? what is the point of this thread?

"do you think it will be slow?" - you wont know until you own the device for a few days if it will fit YOUR expectations.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
It's a good question actually. The SGS4 lagged with its initial release s/w. From what I've heard its improved over time but still has some lag in certain areas. The SGS4 (and now the N3) have new sensors tied to new functionality that requires the phone to always be anticipating an action. Like someone said above, 3GB of RAM should help with the additional workload. That and Samsung's had some time to refine the s/w that was first launched in April. The SGS3 had issues that were fixed in the N2 so I'd expect/hope history repeats itself.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muqali:
It was excellent, yes. It got even better when I loaded a debloated ROM on it. Only reason I didn't leave TW altogether was I needed wi-fi calling. AOSP was by far the smoothest ROM. Ideally for those of us who don't need or want S-bloat they'd release a non Spen Note 3 equivalent GP Edition.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammath:
Running Miui on the s4 completely removes the lag. Hoping the note3 will also get Miui like the note 2 did. Touchwiz will always lag imo.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott.deagan:
The stutter is still there when scrolling

The micro stutter is still there. For me, it's very annoying because the browser suffers from it (and I spend a lot of time in the browser). I've tried both Chrome and the ASAP browsers. The latter is slightly better, but it's still there and still very annoying. I understand it's subjective and does not bother everyone the same way, but for me it completely destroys the user experience.

Here's one way to see the stutter:

1. Open theverge.com in desktop mode.

2. Hover the s-pen at the bottom of the page (results in page slowly scrolling down).

3. Observe stutters (occurs intermittently, usually when scrolling sections in the page that contain images).

4. Do the same thing to scroll up once you've reached the bottom (I.e. hover the s-pen at the top of the page to scroll slowly upwards).

5. Observe the intermittent stutters.

Very bad user experience. Inexcusable considering the hardware. I for one am very disappointed.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inseconds99:
You recommend him get an iPhone because?.. Oh that's right it doesn't lag even with buggy websites. Sammy needs to work out some kinks with their over bloated touchwiz nonsense. I was going to give the note 3 a go. Then I heard people complaining of lag similar to the s4 (which I returned because of lag) now I've decided against buying one. I wanted that big 1080p screen so bad but I just can't deal with constant stuttering and frame lag, it drives me nuts.

I myself will be sticking to my newly purchased Gold 5s and the Nexus 5 running stock KitKat when its released.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan37tz:
I know a lot of people say don't use theverge.com to test the device... but what I found strange is:

The iPhone does not have ANY problems with that website, 4, 4S or 5.

The Galaxy S3 both the dual core US snap version and quad core international exynos versions, My Nexus 4 and Note 2, do not have any problems with theverge.com desktop or any other website.

The real kicker is this, my HTC One had ZERO issues with theverge.com, either in the stock browser or chrome. It flies through that website like butter. The S4 which has the same but "better binned" AB S600 chipset grinds to a halt with that website and other graphic intense websites, even XDA desktop will bring the S4 to it's knees sometimes. To level the playing field, I installed chrome on both my S4 and HTC One, theverge.com desktop version flies on the HTC but grinds to a halt on the S4 using the same chipset and same browser. So what's going on here??!

My recently acquired LG G2 is running an s800 and is an absolute monster when it comes to web browsing. Probably the fastest and smoothest web browsing I've ever encountered. I'm really hopeful that the N3 will at least be on par with it when it comes to a simple task like web browsing. Crossing my fingers, from what I've read so far I'm not holding my breath.

Are we conveniently forgetting that an iPhone can't, and thus doesn't, render the flash-based adverts? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
We're talking about viewing the full desktop site and not the mobile equivalent. The lag is especially bad when there are hundreds of comments with the pop up new comment notification when signed in and the animated GIFs. I can guarantee you the iPhones are not immune as it even affects my laptop.

Did you conveniently forget your reading glasses and totally missed the next lines where I pointed out my Nexus 4, Note 2, Galaxy S3, HTC One, LG G2 (all android devices) have no problems with the website? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
Trust me. There's nothing magical about the iPhone that makes it perform better than a laptop. Aside from viewing in desktop mode it also depends on other factors that I mentioned such as the article you're viewing, number of comments, number of animated GIFs and how frequent comments are posted with the pop-up new-comment notification. Worse for the iPhone is the minuscule 1GB DRAM where if you had to switch away from the browser with a busy article like a review to another app it'll clear the memory used by the browser tab then when you switch back to the browser it'll force a reload of the page and use up your data cap faster. I speak from a scientific approach versus cool-aid approach having used both ecosystems.

i don't own the device now but can comment on this even without owning this. it is very similiar thing for samsung to make it laggy and with problems first and then fix it. my first samsung is note1. anybody who owns it from the beginning knows it had lots of issues... some solved it a short time, some solved in long and some never solved. but samsung learned from note1 and made note2 much much better. yes it had some issues too but way better then note1. samsung also learned much from note2 too but they decided to try something new in note3 which is knox. and process started from over like note1. so even without owning this device i can easily say it will lag in some conditions. even though it is not a problem for me and will buy one.

Everybody's talking about some kind of lag on theverge.com, and in this video at 4:44 (I cannot post YouTube links but the name of the video is "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs Galaxy S4 preview (ita) by TuttoAndroid.net", username TuttoAndroid) a guy pulls up the site on both S4 and N3 and TBH I can't see any lag on the Note 3 at all.

Since this is my first android phone and an awfully expensive one at that, I was shuddering when I see posts about lagging and stuff. Tried it out (both verge.com and bbc.com and other websites) Didn't experience the lag. Very much relieved. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott.deagan:
Definitions, semantics, subjectiveness, marketing muscle, brand/platform zealots

There are many difficulties and obstacles faced when trying to articulate exactly what the problem is (see the title of this post).

From a very high level perspective, one of the problems can be described as:

When scrolling, it isn't perfectly smooth and fluid (it "stutters" every now and then).

A very easy way to test this:

Install the Engadget application (by AOL)

Open up the "Top Stories" view

Take out the s-pen, hover it above the bottom of the list so it slowly scrolls upwards.

Is scrolling smooth? No. Is scrolling fluid? No. What was the expected result? Scrolling that is smooth and fluid enough for the user to be able to read the text as it scrolls (scrolling should be pixel-by-pixel, not 4 or 8 pixels at a time. Also, the velocity should be consistent and should not "stutter" intermittently).

For such a "high-end" handset that is one of the most expensive of the market with the monster specs it has, such performance is (should be) embarrassing. There is something fundamentally wrong with the underlying platform.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systoxity:
It sounds like Dan has a genuine concern about performance. Don't be a bully. Most of us had to deal with those enough growing up :eek: Also, just because companies are releasing products that aren't "perfect" at launch doesn't mean that's right. We can change that by communicating our dismay over the internet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
Read the comments on that app, and you will see that users report it slow and choppy on all devices, including vanilla Nexus ones. So is this the fault of the phone or the app? I've tried theverge.com and bbc.com.uk on stock browser as your previous posts suggested, and was hard pressed to find any stutters. Even the 2 embedded videos that I opened from bbc.com.uk/arabia ran at 60fps (or higher).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drizzy xS:
I also found this to be the case on the verge no lag or stutter at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datafiend:
I picked up the Note after skipping the S4. I heard reports of the lag problems with the S4. A read a lot of reviews that stated that the lag was fixed, but after playing with it for a few hours I can say that the problem still persist. I do like all of the multi tasking features and for those I guess I will have to live it but it is still disappoint for a phone with these specs.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljamie:
I like to use S Pen to scroll because I am lazy and won't have to use my thumb to scroll, I can just leave pen in same place :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott.deagan:
I resent your unfounded accusation about me being a "paid troll", and I am asking you to apologize.

I am a "user experience analyst", and a disappointed consumer who has spanked £620 on a Note 3, who is stunned and confused that smooth, responsive and fluid scrolling still hasn't been achieved on an Android device with such high specs. The reason why I described scrolling with the s-pen is because it's a reliable means of reproducing the problem - it's like seeing it in slow motion, and it doesn't rely on the speed at which the user scrolls.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorvirus:
I don't know what's going on with Samsung lately, but the when the S4 was released on T-mobile, I thought the phone had some quality control issues. IMO, the note 2 was the best phone Samsung made so far..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott.deagan:
I'm going to take a guess at what this quality issue is (I'm by no means an Android expert, so this is just a stab in the dark based on my experiences). But first, let's define the terms everyone's throwing around:

1. Lag: to fall behind, not keep pace.

A demonstration of "lag" on the Galaxy Note 3 can be seen by doing the following:

Remove the s-pen.

Go into the "Galaxy Plus" folder.

Start the "SketchBook for Galaxy" application.

Start drawing (it doesn't have to be too quick).

Observed results: the line rendered on the screen "lags" behind the s-pen.

Desired results: the line rendered on the screen should have zero lag (i.e. should be rendered directly under the s-pen's point of contact).

2. Micro-stutter: when the UI momentarily and abruptly stops during a scrolling operation (even if it's only for a couple of milliseconds). Micro-stutter interrupts what would otherwise be a smooth and fluid scrolling experience.

What causes micro-stutters? The simple answer is "jank": Problematic blocking of a software application's user interface due to slow operations. In order to maintain smoothness and fluidity in a UI, it is now generally acknowledge that a consistent 60 frames per second is needed. What this means is you have to complete all computations for everything that needs to be rendered in a single frame within 16.6 milliseconds. Failure to do so will result in "jank" (also referred to as "micro-stutter", or "frame-skip").

Firstly, I suspect (again, I'm not an Android expert) that since Android is a virtualized environment (that uses the DVM, or Dalvik Virtual Machine), it struggles to perform computations fast enough in order to complete computations within the required 16.6 milliseconds. This is why smoothness on Android devices is always second rate compared to platforms that run code natively. No matter what arguments are put forward, "native" always performs better that "virtualized".

Secondly, it looks like there's something fundamentally wrong with Android's architecture when it comes to the touch paradigm (which is now standard on just about every smartphone platform). The UI should be running in it's own non-blocking thread. No network or disk/storage operations should interfere with whatever the UI is doing (including UI inputs etc). This is not the case on Android - you can see the UI stutter wherever "lazy loading" is implemented (one example: the Play Store - stutter occurs when network operation is executed).

Thirdly, Android doesn't appear to use the GPU for screen rendering throughout the platform. From what I can remember, developers can set this within an applications manifest.xml file. I have no idea why any architect would choose to use the CPU rather than the GPU for rendering operations. In any event, you can see the difference in some applications by going into the Developer Options and turning on "Force GPU rendering". and then repeating the steps for testing the Engadget app mentioned in one of my previous posts in this thread. Scrolling is much, much smoother, but janking (micro-stutters) still occur.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systoxity:
^ This, people, is how discourse should be carried out. ^

I value your opinion. Please don't take offense to any of my thoughts as sometimes I tend to be a bit forward. I'll try to do the same for you.

I'm not under the illusion that a few complaints will change Samsung. I do believe, however, that collectively public outcry can make a difference. Change can happen in something like a snowball effect. One voice starts the ball rolling down the hill, slowly collecting more voices, until it is something to be reckoned with.

Now, I sincerely doubt this will happen with this topic. But that is no reason to stifle Dan's concern. What does that teach society? It teaches us to sit down, don't rock the boat, and learn to be happy with what you have instead of seeking more. This is a dangerous mentality for many reasons, but I won't get into that here.

Dan's message may have been emotionally charged, but it was pretty tame by today's internet standards. I certainly don't think he was ranting and raving. On the other hand, some replies he's incurred have been down right belligerent. He brought up a real concern. Why can't we expect a beautiful browsing experience from our phones? Have you seen the new iPhone 5s scroll? It's like skating on butter. Why can't we want that from our device too? Please let me be clear, I, in no way know what the browsing experience is like on the note 3. I'm only validating Dan's post and reasoning.

I look forward to your reply. Please quote my message so I know when it comes.

Have you tried the HTC One? When I had mine, there was no scroll lag even when I speed scrolled through 200 installed apps on the google play store. Oh, and when I say speed scrolled ... I pretended it was a centrifuge and I must slide up as fast and many times as possible or it will not separate the fluids... that should give you an idea of no lag.
