Since I use airtel sim how do I disable the sim app ?? I could earlier do it on 4.3 ! Any ideas ?

Doc. I want to thank and appreciate all of your work and the help that you provide us all the time. Just wanted to know if we can get the "ok google" feature on note 3 only from GEL instead of installing the whole of it?

How do you know this code resets the battery. I tried to search but no one is sure of what this code actually does.

KK 4.4.2 and 3rd party accessories - SD Card issues

After receiving the OTA to KK 4.4.2 I noticed that 3rd party apps on the phone are unable to write or modify files on my Sandisk 64GB SD Card.

I formatted the card in the phone, on the PC, removed and recreated the partition followed by a format via the phone, the PC and a SD card formatter. To no avail.

Any 3rd party app like Rerware's My Backup Pro or 3rd party file managers like Root Explorer or Solid Explorer are unable to modify or delete files on the SD Card.

I then flashed the latest ROM thinking some driver was messed up or corrupted. Nopes..same issue.

Note - Using Samsung's My Files file manager works without a hitch.

Then I read this article: http://www.zdnet.com/samsung-fix-due-for-unofficial-note-3-smart-covers-broken-by-kitkat-7000025783/

While my S view cover is the Samsung version and gives no problem, I was wondering if something in the KK update breaks something in 3rd party SD Cards too.

Any of you experienced this?

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

:mad:SONOFAGUN!! No wonder my Sandisk card isn't working!!!

See this - http://allaboutgalaxynote.com/galax...top-5-disappointments-and-top-5-consolations/

Galaxy Note 3 KitKat update still supports external SD card. But some third-party apps may have some issues to write or copy files directly. If you encounter some issues with files on external SD card, you have to wait for the app developer to find a workaround

If this issue isn't resolved, the N3 is probably the last Samsung phone I will buy

Flipboard
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
I did this but after 50% the battery starts to dip quickly & after it reaches 20% it loses 10% within 1 and half hours of minor usage but when it's at full charge it takes 3 to 4 hours to lose 10% with the same amount of usage.

I followed the guide exactly, should I caliberate it again and leave it untouched for more than a hour or recalibration will damage the battery ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jaiiscool:
I suggest that on step 5, instead of restarting the phone...let the battery drain fully and let the phone die and charge to 100% in switched off mode. Then switch on and see if it drains normally.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
Please do not perform calibration frequently, not more than once in 2-3 months. It affects battery longevity.

If you find the battery is not satisfactory use an app like Better Battery Stats to check what is causing battery drain.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sumitchauhan:
after 4.4.2 update , sometimes when i remove or reattach s-pen phone gets turn off and does not restart until i remove the battery and insert it back.

anybody else having this problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pxdx:
If you are rooted, you can flash a fix zip and it should be fine. Otherwise you need to use Internal Memory for 3rd party apps while My Files for External SD, Camera & other Stock apps.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shethsa:
Me too. Had to change folder settings in many apps. I've got a 64gig Samsung card
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Is there any way I can reset to default calibration without causing any issue to my phone ? Darn I feel like I shouldn't have done it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
Have you changed the path to the internal storage? Apps work perfectly once you do that.

Going forward try and resist the temptation to calibrate too many times. It will reduce battery life drastically. I say this from experience. Some batteries even swell up due to the heat generated during a deep discharge and recharge cycle.

Not to worry too much. The N3 has the best battery life of all phones that I used, even better than the Note 2. With KK 442 battery drain has decreased and the phone goes up to 2 days on a single charge..at least for my type of use.

To ascertain what exactly is causing the drain is best investigated by using BBS or equivalent app.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vijai2011:
Hello all,

I'm a bit bad at selecting accessories for my phone. i have chosen [url="http://www.ebay.in/itm/Luxury-Brushed-Aluminum-Chrome-Metal-Case-Cover-Skin-For-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-Note-3-/151210647141?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&var&hash=item2334db5e65&_uhb=1#ht_644wt_1165"

]this[/url] case. What do you think about this case? Worth the money or any other case which is cheaper?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Yeah I will get BBS soon, but what annoys me is the inconsistancy with drain, I was fine when in JB the battery drained in the same manner throughout the 100%, I wont use caliberation again seems like a bad idea.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
The last 10 days with Kit Kat was the 'honeymoon' period. And that has come to an end.

Other than the SD card issue, I see that some apps also require root level access to perform. For example BBS - now it is not possible to check partial wakelocks, alarms, network stats process without rooting the phone. Kernel wakelock and CPU States work ok

And no, you cannot downgrade the phone back to JB 4.3.

Yes , it's Kitkat update 4.4.2.....:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
Yes, thanks I am aware of the workaround but my phone is not rooted. Reason is the Knox counter.

Guess I'll have to wait for the app developers or Samsung to issue a fix. There are reports about Samsung rolling out a fix soon. Fingers crossed.

Which one should be downloaded
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:

random reboots

I updated my exynos note 3 to kitkat few weeks back.

Since then i had issues with battery drain and randomly my phone use to heat up, even a reboot wouldnt help much.

I used gsam battery moniter to see which app was draining the battery. It always turned out to be android system and kernel. I hardly got one to 1.5 hrs of screeb on time.

Then one day i realised my sd card has been rendered useless and my apps are unable to access the sd card.

I thought maybe sd card is the issue and i took it out.

I am using a samsung class 10 sd card.

After taking out the card heat up and battery drain is less but since past two three days my phone reboots randomly 2 3 times a day. Not sure whats triggering the reboot.

I have seen post mentioning the issue with sd cards but i am using a samsung sd card plus reboots are still happening even after i have removed it.

This all started after the kit kat update.

I am reluctant to do a factory data reset, i have lots of imp data.

Is it a hardware issue?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
what kind of files are u talking abt? you can backup all ur data using kies and then factory reset...

If you don't want to do a factory reset then check all the apps one by one. Alreast 1 app might be incompatible with kitkat which might be causing the issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
+1

I updated to kitkat

Am having same problems too about rare reboots generally occuring due to minimising settings while unmounting sd card and cant rename or delete files on sd card via 3rd party file explorers.

And doesnt have an option to share music via native player.

Will any of these problems be solved by future update?and how long will it take?1month?3months?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shethsa:
Me as well. Random reboots and heat ups - but solved by factory reset - not a single reboot after that. Used helium for a quick and easy restore. Agreed downloading apps is a pain but on a fast broadband connection its a matter of a couple of hours - worth it for a 'permanent' fix. Sd card access problem however continues. Waiting for samsung to fix. Google should think hard about a more reliable hardware manufacturer really.
