I'm not 100% sure. After doing some research, I think I misspoke here and there is supposed to be a "Developer edition" which is basically stock TouchWiz but comes pre-unlocked.

Although if they were going to announce it at the Nexus keynote, why wouldn't it have stock Android?

Anyway, the Verizon Note 3 is locked down tight right now. No Root. No bootloader. No custom recovery. No roms. The other carriers are having fun though. We'll see. I played with the G2 and the Note3 in depth at the store and while I was leaning on the Note3, I'll probably get the G2. It all really depends. My company typically buys them, so if he says "Hook him up", then I'll take the Note 3 for a trial run to see how I like it.

The G2 on Verizon is getting blown up with mods and roms but don't expect LG to come through with updates after a year. For me, it is a really tough call. Going AOSP on these phones pretty much ruins the experience with all the extras that make them unique. I do plan on using the stock roms for a while. I just hate how LG released on 4.2.2. In 9 months they'll update to 4.3 and call it a day. Note 3 is already 4.3, and probably see 4.4 here soon. And you know you'll get 5.0 (or whatever the next update is).

The Note 3 also felt better in hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prbadboy69:
I am hearing great reports on the LG phone, especially that it might be the only ofew getting the Kit Kat update on verizon. these are from some dev's and long time Samsung owners. i think a LG thread was created and development started in XDA. i havent used it yet, i have a few months left on my contract. here is the xda link http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2

maybe i will upgrade my wifes phone to LG and secretly swap phones:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Things that bother me on the G2 is:

Curved sides of the screen = problems with screen protectors

LG's horrible history supporting phones for very long.

4.4 is just a stepping stone so upgrading to 4.4 shouldn't be much of a hassle for any 4.x+ phone. However Android 5.0 will probably require a kernel update which must be supplied from LG.

This is exactly the same problem the Galaxy Nexus is having. Verizon isn't updating the kernel for 4.3+ builds and thus are having radio issues. It works but if you travel, you'll notice your data will never come back once it disappears... until you do a hard reset of course.

So who knows. I've heard nothing but wonderful things about the LG too and they've included lots of functionality into customizing the phone. Pretty much everything can be disabled and changed. It even has built in system-wide theme support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prbadboy69:
yea you are rite, LG does have a history of not supporting their phones in the long run..maybe you can get a good 2 years out of the LG, just in time for the next release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
What bothers me about the G2 is the software. Being used to stock Android, and after reading a bunch of reviews from trusted sources about how the UI that LG put into this new device is quite bloated and ugly. My idea is to buy one of these devices now, and sell it once the Nexus 5 is out and in stock in Europe.

I've been looking up comparisons between the G2, the Galaxy S4, and the HTC One. The latter two are older devices, and if I want to be able to sell it in less than a year, I think the smartest choice would be to get the newer one.

The Note 3 looks incredible, but I'm already having trouble fitting the Galaxy Nexus into my pockets sometimes, and I'm not the kind of person who is constantly carrying a backpack. Maybe I could change that, I've always liked the idea of the S-pen.

In conclusion, I'm undecided between the HTC One and the LG G2.

The HTC One is amazingly built, with it's irresistible alluminum unibody and the speaker/audio quality, and has a plethora of ROMs and customizations to it, but it's already been out for a while, which makes it less profitable if I want to resell it in 6 months.

The LG G2 is brand new, has a better screen, more powerful in terms of processor, but at the same time I'm hearing about lots of issues with the camera, sound and lag. I hope the ROMs and mods from the Verizon G2 will be ported to the international variant, as there are many more available.

Today I'll go look at them in person, and hopefully make my decision aswell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prbadboy69:
I hate those decisions, all are good phones, but just have to pick which one feels better. I think to resell down the line, the Samsung phones may hold better value, maybe due to the watch launch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff5347:
I'm in the same boat. Running my nexus for about 1.5 yrs and looking to upgrade. I have unl. Data w Verizon but as all know vzw sucks w how they bloat and lock their phones. So gar I'm looking/ interested in the note 3, g2 or maybe the HTC one or moto x. Some of the things I want are a bigger chassis...not huge but bigger than the gnex, customizable w ROMs and kernels, timely updates, ect. My cousin has the one but it didn't wow me, but it was a stock unit no customization. The g2 looks great...good size, batt, ect but afraid like others slow w updates. As far as I read on the note 3 it is looked tight. Not a lot of ROM for customization due to Knox I guess..

I think I would love the note 3, bigger, big batt, fast but the lack of development saddens me haha. I was so waiting for the nexus 5 but that small batt honestly is making me sway away from it and the styling isn't to different from the rest of the nex. If new reviews come out saying batt life is much improved I may sway back but for now ...egh. Carrier wise I want a cheaper plan, good coverage ect and really only do maybe on a heavy month 3 gig as I use mostly wifi so I was looking at art. Gonna take a ride today and check them out and see which phone excites me. Any batt life better than my next is an improvement .

How can I solve a IME problem without EFS backup

I've been reading some tutorials on how to create / modify IMEI of the phone.

I did some things without success:

- Install the original ROM cell.

- Install Other ROMs.

What I can not do alone:

- Using EFS Profisional to change the IMEI.

I've seen the IMEI concert here in Brazil is R $ 500,00.

[Please, I need help because i do not have the backup of EFS.]
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fonejacker:
There is now an update to Kies, the PC connection to the Note 3, and 'Kies 3 beta' has now become 'Kies 3' (v3.1.13103_22).

As many have already discovered the Galaxy Note 3 refuses to work with v2.6 and requests upgrade to v3 of Kies.

This can be installed from your existing version of Kies or downloaded from the support section of Samsung national websites.

Of interest the splash screen states the backup to computer will now become be faster and will offer enhanced way to backup your Note 3.

On the downside, the Sync tab which was in Kies v2.6 was not been restored to Kies v3 beta, and neither to Kies 3.

Customer Campaign for Return of the Sync Tab

The Senior Customer Support team in the US say they believe the Sync Tab will be restored by Samsung to Kies, as do the UK Senior Customer Support team, however they both suggest the more tickets from customers they have on this issue then the faster Samsung Korea will arrange to the priority to restore it to Kies.

It would be very helpful if those affected by the missing 'Sync' tab, which allowed connectivity by USB cable to the Microsoft Outlook PIM components with the Galaxy Note would raise this as an issue with their own countries national Samsung customer support desk, as this feedback is the only way Samsung will be motivated to put it back into Kies.

Yes, before workarounds are suggested, we are aware there are various workarounds to the missing Sync Tab, but many users still find using a Desktop Cradle with USB cable attatched to the computer is easiest way to manage synchronization with the PIM features of MS Outlook.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] peakjunkie:
Embarrassing for Samsung that they don't have a sync tab on their flagship business-oriented device. What were they thinking?

Hello Everyone!

Now I know what you're thinking;

"Not another tethering thread! Use Google/Search function! SMH" etc, etc

Well, I did, but I couldn't find someone who had my same problem. So, here it is;

Since the beginning of the year, I was able to successfully tether my phone on my unlimited plan at full speed with no issues. I've never hit an upsell page and still haven't to this day. That's not the issue I'm having. The issue I'm having is that for some reason, downloads are extremely slow. I'm talking like 20kbps slow. This is a relatively new problem that cropped up within the past few weeks and it is really irking me to no end. Web pages and YouTube videos will load nice and fast, but whenever I download something, it starts off fast but then all of the sudden slows down to a crawl. Why is this? Is there anything I can do to fix it? It doesn't matter if I use WiFi tethering or USB tethering, it's all the same.

ROM: ParanoidAndroid 3.99 RC2

Kernel: Franco Kernel

Radio: .33/.84 Hybrid Radio

You really shouldn't download too much on tether. T-Mobile monitors traffic every second and knows when you're downloading a file from your phones browser or a tethered device.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philip2000:
Hi there,

After noticing that the SamsungIME Portrait type keyboards were gone from 4.3 MJ5 I was wondering how I was going to go back to the 4.2.2 keyboard as it was the main one I used. Downgrading to an earlier rom isn't an option because of the new bootloader, so then I was thinking I could simply download the 4.2.2 SamsungIME apk and install it by rooting the phone and copy it into the SYSTEM/APPS folder, change the permissions and reboot after clearing the cache/dalvik cache. All of the versions of SamsungIME I can find either cause the system to crash ("We're sorry but the Samsung keyboard has stopped working" message). My questions, if anybody could help me, are

1) Does anybody have a step by step guide to changing the Samsung keyboard? Is it just a case of putting the apk files in the Apps folder and changing the permissions, clearing cache and rebooting? I've also tried using CWM zip files to load but these fail also.

2) Are Samsung keyboards rom specific i.e. will an MH8 keyboard work in the standard MJ5 rooted rom, or are they also not downgradeable?

3) Would anybody be able to provide me apk and odex file for the 4.2.2 i9505 MH8 Samsung keyboard (if it's useable in the MJ5 rooted rom).

4) This is a long shot, but is there a rooted/custom rom in existence that I can load to my MJ5 S4 that includes the 4.2.2 keyboard and so, still offers the Portrait Keyboard Types?

I would be really grateful for help with this.

Many Thanks

Philip

I've seen this mentioned before but I'm not super familiar with it. Does this make THAT much of a difference? Everything sounds amazing on my N3 after my Galaxy Nexus.

I'm going to head over to the thread to check it out but I'd like to hear anything else you guys have to say about it.

Thanks for the guide.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Yes, the difference is VERY drastic. You'll notice it as soon as you begin tinkering. I'd post my settings, but everyone has their own sound preferences. The great thing is, this mod accommodates all musical tastes. As you see from my screenies, I let FX do most of the work, as it should, and only use XHiFi's Audio Reconstruct feature.

Yes, it affects sound coming out of the regular speaker including speakerphone, but does not boost ringtones or notifications. I think this thread will help with that. Which reminds me...

Followed instructions. This mod is not working. Under processing, it says "No".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
I know this sounds crazy, but that's usually not the important part. The important thing is if you can tell the difference in sound. If there's no modification, then there's a problem. Have you tried other music players? Have you tried the steps here?

No worries, I have developer options, I enabled them as soon as I unboxed the phone 4 months ago, hehe. ;)

Superuser has given SuperSU root access, and the binaries are installed.

But, Superuser is not listed anywhere in developer options. I can screenshot if you like, but it's not there. :/ I can freeze via Titanium, which is the closest thing I can think of for what you mean? :P

SuperSU has given V4A root access, it's in the list. It *seems* everything should be good to go, but it just won't... go.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
Superuser options are somewhere in your settings. They're most often in developer options, but sometimes listed separately or in security options. Here it is on my ROM and me disabling it:

If Busybox is also on your SuperSU list, I'm not sure what to tell you except it should work at that point. The only thing I can think of that would stop it is that your SELinux is set to Enforcing. It needs to be Permissive for V4A to work. You can check in About phone:

If it's Enforcing, you can switch to a kernel that allows you to change it and use SELinux Mode Changer:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] zombunny:
Hmm maybe I'll give Cyanogen a try, looks nice! Im on stock rom, which is why im not getting options like you have.

A new rom would get V4A to work likely, right? Seems I've hit a wall with Huawei
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
The only "option" you don't seem to have, though you haven't said so so far, is that you don't have a kernel that allows SELinux to be set to Permissive. It's MUCH easier to change kernels than it is a ROM. While I've never had a problem getting V4A working on a CM-based ROM, I don't think it's time to give up on stock ROM for you yet if you like it.

First I'd look in settings/about phone and see what the current status of SELinux is. If it's Enforcing, try using SELinux Mode Changer from my post above to set to Permissive. If that doesn't work, then you know your kernel needs to be changed. If there aren't any custom kernels that allow SELinux to be set to Permissive for you stock ROM, on then is it time to change to a CM-based ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] zombunny:
Thanks. I have not changed my kernel, everything is stock. So there's no SELinux options anywhere in my settings or about phone, specifically. I'll be looking into a different kernel. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] docnok63:
You can check the current status of SELinux and try to change it as needed with the mode changer app I linked to. Sideload that first and see if it can help you. If you try to change and it doesn't or doesn't stick as permissive with reboot, then you need to change your kernel.
