Hello Fellow S3 Owners! Samsung has finally worked their way to updating our devices. I hope in due time, we'll all have Android 4.3 with Galaxy Gear support but until that time comes, I'd like to let you all know that Samsung Hub is officially out on Google Play Store for our Galaxy S3 and even Note II.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studelube:
Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed. It seems my Note 3 won't play the audio from any MKV files I put on there. My Note 2 & S3 both play the files with ease and also let me stream them to my TV. However when I play an MKV on my Note 3, the video players but displays an error message regarding the Audio. Anyone else noticed this? Not sure if Sammy are removing the Codecs from future software updates. I guess we'll find out in the coming days when they roll out 4.3 for the S3 & Note 2.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeanmichel6:
its the same on n900, its lacking of support for audio codecs... you have to use Mxplayer or another one and use H/W decode and its all good...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasanthlt:
Use mx player and you have to download the dts codec for mx player which can be found in xda. The dts codec does not come with mx player due to copyright issues. Just load the codec in mx player by going to custom codec which can be found in settings - > decoder

It's unbelievable!! I have the Octa S4 and it plays any damn media file I throw at it. Even a 25 go BRRIP mkv! That also with stock player. Now I got the Verizon note 3 and it says unsupported?? Tha duck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Use Mxplayer and it'll prompt you to grab the correct codec/plugin for it. Should work fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
I know MX player will play everything, but why on hell Note 3 CAN'T play MKVs when my S4 with Exynos can play them JUST FINE?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
License issues with the h.264 and ac3 codecs.

Diceplayer has been forced to remove the support for them as well. MX and BSplayer don't play DTS audio.

It's a really pathetic attempt to halt piracy. (Since those are the most used codecs in pirated videos.)

Use VLC . It plays everything, Comes with all codecs and doesn't give a sh*t about licence issues. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon

Well that sucks...I sold my S4, Hoping to get the same experience with a larger screen and more raw power. But it seems its not much of an upgrade. The speaker g is worse than that of S4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
You're going to see this problem on all updated phones and versions. :(

Just use another app. I've got about 4TB of various videofiles, amongst which h.264 ac3 .mkv's, and they play fine.

Or grab an old apk version of Dice. 2.0.53 still supports them.

MKV may contain codecs that are not compatible with Samsung Galaxy Smartphone.

To solve this issue, you'd better to convert MKV to Samsung Note supported format with Faasoft Samsung Video Converter.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kunnievic:
In order to play all MKV, AVI, VOB, TiVo, MPG, WMV, FLV/F4V videos on Galaxy Note 3 properly, you'd better convert videos into Galaxy Note 3 supported video formats first before transferring them to Note 3. Along with some help from third-party software, this can be done effortlessly.

Meh, VLC Player still plays everything without a single objection. It's open-source.

And the best part? You don't have to spend hours re-encoding all your blurays.. ;)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc

The problem isn't Android or the Note 3, it's copyright. Copyright that led to mkv support being removed from mediaplayers made by more obedient companies. VLC is opensource, they don't listen to copyright companies.

(Why did they enforce the removal of MKV, you might ask? Because it's the main container used for pirated HD videos these days. It's a lame anti-piracy method that once again affects paying customers more.)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zroice:
So because my phone had some display issues and I could get a good deal, I bought a new note 3 today lol. (gonna sell the other)

On my first I "messed" up and updated with odin to debrand without thinking. This put on the new bootloader as you all hopefully know by now.

Well now the new phone still has the old bootloader, but since I still could get root on my other phone with the new bootloader, I was wondering what the actual difference between those 2 is?

On the S4 the new bootloader actually introduced the SELinux enforcing status and Knox, but all N3s ship with that already, so what is the difference and why should I try to keep the old bootloader?

Does it have more or other attack vectors for root exploits than the new?

ADD: And how can I debrand and update safely without updating the bootloader prior to rooting?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luycks:
That depends on if you care about losing your warranty or not. If you don't care there are plenty of options (including CF-Root). If you care about your warranty (don't want the knox flag to be tripped to 0x1) search for root de la vega in the 'original android development' Note 3 forum. Because you're still on the old bootloader (mi(x) or mj1) this might still be an option. Beware: I'm on the international Note 3 (SM-N9005), so please do read what to do on your phone model. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khizar:
If you update to the new bootloader then you won't be able to downgrade to older version.. flashing custom roms won't be an issue but downgrading via odin will be impossible AFAIK. I heard that there were a lot of efs bricked on the note 2 after a similar bootloader update when users tried to downgrade firmwares or even radios so I haven't updated key bootloader and it isn't necessary so you can stick to the old bootloader as well if you want

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
It's called trying. All I'm saying is to quit asking people to do it for you. The sad and unfortunate truth is that no one is interested in doing the do for you. Big time developers don't have time to help you. Modders want you to learn. And then there are people that ask, ask, and ask, but don't want to or haven't even tried out whatever they want to accomplish. If you seriously try as hard as you can, I'm sure you will end up reaching your destination. If not, then I can and will help you.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamareebjamal:
Here you mentioned the problem

You can't decompile because you don't have Java installed, I guess. Install it first

Notepad ++ will give you strange symbols because the app is not decompiled.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bitbonk:
I have the german T-Mobile MDA-Pro with D1. (whytf can't I specifly that in my profile ?) I experience some strange thing with it. When I pick up the phone when someone calls me (by pressing the green phone button) it takes a while until the other side can hear me.

So whenever I answer a call (by pressing that green phone button) I will have to wait 5-8 seconds after the buttonpress until I say something or else the other side wont hear what I say and still thinks I havent answered the phone yet.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adonker:
Yes! indead...I've got the same problem. is it a software bug?

I too have the same problem, and sometimes it hangs up the call even when I press the green button.

I've posted before and everyone has said 'Use the search'...I have and can't find anything relevent (don't think the search facility of this is very good).

Can someone PLEASE point us.

I really do miss the speed and efficiency of my XDA2s!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ice_coffee:
I have had some experience of this, it does delay mine was worse before I got rid of all th O2 tat, it is now liveable with, however it is cutting off when I press the answer button !!! OR IS IT after conducting tests using another mobile I found out that

1) the phone does not take very long before O2 divert the call to Voicemail

2) the phone starts ringing long before you know anything about it (its worse if the phone is asleep) it can be a good few seconds before it makes any indication noises

3) it carries on playing the ringtone after the call has been diverted which gives the impression that pressing the answer button is futile.

I too have this problem and for the moment while i await any future fixes from O2 or others, i am using the following short-term fix; Under phone settings I have changed the delay period before calls are forwarded to ansafone if unanswered (this works on O2 anywa). One problem with this is that callers may give up before they are diverted to ansafone if you set the delay too long :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Pyrofer:
I have XDA Exec and kept getting confused why my GF always sounded confused and puzzled when I answered the phone, Id say "hello" and she would wait a while, then say "Hello? you there?"

I never realised it was MY phone that was cutting off my voice at the start of the call.

In regards to the delay ringing, and answering etc, I am giving all my friends instructions to bloody well keep ringing! I turn answerphone off normally as my phone is always on. If you want to speak to me, keep ringing till i answer, if I dont want to talk, ill reject the call.

Why ring twice and hang up? I could be doing anything that takes more than 2 seconds to get that damn phone out of my pocket, get it out the case, open it, see who is calling, press the button, damn, missed call.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] daduddaman:
Same problem here. I am seriously thinking about using this as just a PDA. I don't think it's practical to use a phone that only works some times. Somebody on HoFo said that the Universal isn't meant to be used as a phone, it can, but it isn't meant to be. I'm starting to agree.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bitbonk:
I just like the idea of not having to carry around a phone AND a pda. I kind of hoped that's what the universal offers. But it kind of looks like it doesn't ...

Its a great phone when used as a hands free device, answers almost straight away, and has great volume unlike most hands free - my callers also comment that the line quality is excellent even if a few metres away from the phone.

I do always feel stupid though when using the phone as a standard phone, would feel more comfy putting a brick to my head.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Tariqmc:
I use the old phone ringer as my incomming call notifictaion and I hear my phone in plenty of time. The standard o2 incoming notification sound was useless. I don't know what T Mobile have but might be worth trying a different notification sound.

Ah okay you have probably removed some system files and that is what is causing the errors when updating since you are rooted. Yes you would lose root if you flashed the ftf file and from looking at a few other posts you can't root .257 yet.

Search for flashtools and you will find numerous guides on here. After you have it all installed and select the firmware to flash just uncheck the wipe data check box that way it will keep your apps and settings.
