[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir_Zuul:
I'm relatively new to Android. I had a few Kindle Fires and an S2 Skyrocket but didn't do anything much with either. After having an iPhone 5s and being underwhelmed, I switched to the Note 3 and love it. My problem is my battery life has been poor. The battery life was supposed to be awesome and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

Here's what I do now.

-Keep screen as dim as it will go

-Have Juice Defender that switches WiFi and data off/on depending on what's being used

-Bluetooth & GPS off unless I need them

-Auto-Sync is off and I have data restriction on

-I periodically go into the running apps and stop what's useless to me (Games, Samsung Apps etc.)

I may be overreacting, but I heard this battery is great and it's going down fast by just web browsing. Is there anything I'm missing being new to Android and all? Thanks.

I'm currently with Sprint and thinking of switching over to AT&T (Sprint 4G/LTE signal sucks at my work location) and get a Note 3 (or MotoX, but most likely Note 3). I'm new to the whole GSM smartphone in US so I'm unclear on a few things, especially regarding Sim Lock and Bootloader lock on AT&T

Here's my questions:

Why bother locking Bootloader? The official words seem to be that the Carriers are worried about untested software running on their networks and could cause problems. However, people are mentioning that they can pay full retail price for a T-Mobile phone which is not bootloader locked and sim unlock it and use it on AT&T. If anyone can do that (if they want to pay for the phone in full) there WILL be untested software running on their network anyways.

Why bother locking the sim card? It's not like I can unlock my phone and cancel my contract and move to T-Mobile, I'll still get slap by a Early Termination Fee to pay off the subsidized portion of the phone and then some.

If I want to use my phone elsewhere in the world, I heard that the phone is Region Locked as well, and if I don't unlock the sim or use the region unlock apk, I can't use it outside of US. Are there any issue if I pay to remove the sim lock? e.g. will AT&T fine me or something if they finds out? (I currently don't have to deal w/ this problem because no one else in the world use CDMA, and I just get a cheapo dumb phone when I travel).

thanks

To answer your first question your phone is always making sure (yes here come the jokes) you got the pen in it. But turning that off will save battery life. It will still detect when you take it out.

Anyone know what app or security setting is blocking Wi-Fi? My dad tried connecting to Target Guest or some other Guest networks (at his work, etc.) and it gets disconnected immediately saying some sort of security is blocking it. I'm not sure what app could be causing the problem as I disabled/turned off some of the bloatware AT&T/Samsung included.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
It may have said it was disabled because it was unstable but if something was just downright blocking it like you say then you have a problem with something you've downloaded on your phone.

In case it was what I said and not you, go into the advanced wifi songs and turn off the auto switch feature.

Fitbit Sync

I have another stupid question. :)

I have a Fitbit One and the Fitbit app on my phone updated and said it had support for the Note 3 now. I don't notice anything any different and have absolutely no idea how to make it work. I tried all of the suggestions from the Fitbit site to no avail.

I wonder if I've turned off/frozen something I shouldn't have? All of the AT&T stuff is off, most of the Samsung BS is off - ChatOn, Games, Mobile TV, POLARIS Office 5, S Health, Samsung Apps, Samsung Apps Widget, Story Album & Widget, Security policy updates, Sketchbook for Galaxy, Tethering Provision, Travel Wallpaper, TripAdvisor, Weather Widget, Yahoo Finance, and YP Mobile. Oh yeah, and all the Knox stuff is off too.

Just wondered if anybody had any ideas.

Edit: Yesterday I noticed everything was working. Maybe it just takes a while to roll out everywhere.

Galaxy Note 3 Stuck on boot screen (soft brick)

I simply loaded new fonts and it asked me to reboot and now my Note 3 will not boot up. I do, however, believe it is only a soft brick that Im dealing with because I can boot up in recovery mode, and it will charge. I simply will not get past the boot screen. Please tell me that there is a way to recover from this without losing anything. I do have everything backed up, however, I am now overseas, sitting behind a firewall that prevents me from connecting to the Google Play store or gain access to my network (if that matters). Can someone please provide a step by step guide to recover from this. My phone is(was) rooted.

Restored Phone Back To Stock then Re-Rooted But Wi Fi Broken

I restored phone back to stock and rooted the phone again using root_de_la_vega followed all the directions, my phone is rooted but the wifi is greyed out.

Is any sort of independent develpment for the SM-900A? Or is any sort of development DOA? Is the bootloader so secure to the point we'll never possess the capacity to flash a custom anything?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomingoZuniga:
"Question 2:

I used Internet Browser (had manually installed flash) on my Note 2. The version on my Note 2 had a "Labs" menu where you could turn on a circular floating menu feature to operate most browser functions by just sliding your thumb in from a screen edge. I got really fast with that and feel very inefficient in the browser without it.

My Note 3's Internet Browser app doesn't appear to have a "Labs" menu at all. Any secret way anyone knows to get that menu (or the floating circular thumb menu feature) back on this apparently newer version of the app? I know loading an older version of the app is probably out of the question without root."

Forget about Internet Browser. Install Boat Browser instead. It supports Flash and does the best job of text wrapping of any browser I've tried.

Where is the info on new update + root?

For users who didn't use the kingo root (I'm not touching something that's not deemed legit enough to be on xda), and rooted using RDLV, how are we supposed to go about getting the new update?

I have all the OTA update apps frozen with TB, naturally, so I shouldn't be forced into it - but what's the way to do this, or is there no way until we get an updated RDLV for this version? Or should I steer clear of this update entirely because it doesn't fix anything I need and could close some exploit that might be used in the future to crack the bootloader?

People seem to be talking about problems with the update, but it looks like everyone's been reading some source of basic information that I am not aware of regarding this update; this is my first experience with wanting to update a rooted device not running a custom ROM.

Not sure what apps to remove but since your root, you can use Titanium Backup to freeze apps. What that does is disable them. Play around with different apps and see what works when things are disabled. If you keep getting errors unfreeze them. When you have the system where you want it, backup the apps then uninstall them.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rukbat:
I don't either, but I "fixed" the problem by rooting with Kingo. (I think the problem may have been that I tried RDLV with debugging off, but Kingo roots the phone, so I'm not curious enough to unroot and try again.)

So, I've posted this question on the thread but have not got the answer yet, so I decide to ask it on here with hopes that somebody would know the answer for it.

Here is a person that is having the same issue as mine : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544556

-> The issue is with Bluetooth. When I turn it on to connect to my car, the sound just comes off as if I'm having a phone call. Music can't be played. Using another music player app would force the sound to come out of the phone speaker (the one we use to hear a phone call, not the speaker at the bottom). Restarting the device literally makes no change. As soon as the phone boots up and connect to my car via bluetooth, same thing happens again.

( Still be able to make a phone call via bluetooth though. But no music....no audio sound...at all)

This is so annoying.

I believe I did not have this issue with the older version that came with the phone when I bought it ( few weeks ago). It only happens after the newest update.
