So, who's going to be the dare devil? :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
I think y'all are gonna be disappointed whoever tries. Carriers got themselves covered on this. Best thing is tmobile's monthly plan.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DriftorX:
I would do this myself but I'm out of the country on vacation. But someone should just call tmo and just ask that. But if you early term and pay etf they can't blacklist your phone. But there is still the thought if you do early terminate you may have to pay out the phone possibly. Idk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] indstrlmtlhd:
A few years back when I worked for one of the major carriers, if you did not return the phone when you canceled within the grace period then you would have to pay the full price of the phone and if you didn't then they would send the bill to collections. This phone is awesome but not worth the harassment of debt collectors and getting your credit score screwed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bbh4r4l:
I know on amazon you had to keep the service for 6 months. If you didn't you had to return the phone or pay the full price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Inxed:
I read up on all TM stipulations about 2 weeks before the note 3 came out. I'm not sure about buying the phone on amazon but if you buy it though TM, you are basically refinancing the phone. You're paying a little more each month (I think for me it's like 15 it varies depending on how much you put down), plus you get the jump program included in your insurence. Also if you cancel, you will have to pay off the remaining balance on the phone's "loan".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kintwofan:
OP this is exactly how I got both my note 2. Tmo had just stopped the classic plan. Walmart still offered it though. I signed up then the very next day switched to a value plan, paid the 200 fee ( on one of them because I sweet talked the Rep and got the other waived) and was set. I got me and the wife note 2s for 600 bucks total (this is when they were still the hot phone)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] suhas2000:
Thanks for that info!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] suhas2000:
Too late, both, Wirefly and Staples, have now taken down the classic plans and are showing the full price for Note 3 :( Oh well, you snooze, you definitely lose! I will wait for some time b4 the price comes down a little...

There is a battery coming out for our phones that's over 3x the strength of ours, And it comes with a case that looks as durable as an otterbox.

Check out the one for the S4, ours wold be just like it. Would anyone get this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
My battery last two to three days. No need for a bigger battery, I get roughly 9 hours screen on time

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] smw420:
Agreed. If you can't make it through the day on the stock battery you probably have something running constantly in the background or a wakelock issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Benjamin150:
Got to agree with the people up top. Download something like GSam Battery and check what's running in your background.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AstroDigital:
Do not have a clue what a wake lock is but I am lucky to get 2 days, when GPS and bluetooth are on 24/7.

I like them on always, GPS for my runs and bluetooth for the car, gear, and fitbit.

Turn GPS off seems better.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cowboyaryk:
I've been off the charger for 30 min, pretty constant use checking messages and such, down %5 that's 10%/hour, 5 hours of screen on time? If it were more like 9 I could actually make it through a day at work.

Heres a screen shot, I just downloaded that gsam battery app, so we'll see today what happens

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AstroDigital:
10,000 mah looks cool, I will think about it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cowboyaryk:
Now that app says android system (wake lock) is the most draining issue on my phone. How do I fix wake lock issues?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Hardcore73:
I bought a Hyperion Extended 6400 mah battery. Doing first charge tonight. Will let you know how it goes :)

Case feels great on the phone. It makes it feel better in hand because it gives you something to hold on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] M1nze:
the stock battery is just fine for me. i charge every other day and still have a good percentage left. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] haza12d:
There is already a thread about the ZeroLemon 10,000mAh Battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ShadowLea:
Mine lasts 5 days with minimal use, 2 with regular and 1.5 with intensive.

Plus I just pre-ordered a 15600mah powerpack mobile charger. I'm set.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] phkaccess:
Hi, could anyone who upgraded the BlueAngel to WM5 please check if the phone menu features a button "Speakerphone" on the screen (like on original WM5 devices do) and if the speakerphone really can be activated by clicking on this button.

Reason for asking: simulated input for disabled people depend on that WM5 feature (they cannot press the device buttons), so it would be great to have it working on BlueAngel, too.

Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kyphur:
There is no "Speakerphone" soft button on the phone interface.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] phkaccess:
I do not know how it ist called in english UIs, but it is used to activate the Speakerphone. Is there one such button?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kyphur:
It is called "Speakerphone" in English but there is no soft key. You must press and hold the Green "Answer" Key to activate it.

An alternative is that TWRP recovery allows an advanced wipe which can select some/all partitions at once to format. So technically a mega wipe, but kinda better as you can wipe as much or as little as you please.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gr8twhite:
I'm very new to android, so please be patient with me. I've only just rooted my nexus 7 today and I've only had it 2 weeks, that's how new I am to it. I'm not IT illiterate, but no expert either. "Advanced user" is probably the best description.

I've just rooted and installed sfhub's touchscreen fixes. Great stuff.

I know they're locked in (screen drivers) for updates, but what about the rest of the system?

IE: when kitkat comes out do I let the system just update as per normal or does an update delete the root and I have to start all over from the beginning?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gr8twhite:

[Moto X Q&A] MadFunnyBruh:
Hello there.

so I'm plannin on getting moto x from verizon and have a few questions.

So I can root my moto x using this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45598679

but what do I do after? Install SuperSU? CWM app? How do I get recovery menu and what's the purpose?

Sorry for so many question, I've been reading a lot and its a ton of information. So if anyone could simply explain it to me, that would be great.

thnx in advance.
[Moto X Q&A] charlie-n:
Rooting your phone just lets you do what you want with your phone whether it's tethering and using hotspot for free or changing the theme, if you don't want to do any of that then you don't even need to root, for a beginner I wouldn't root your phone until you want to do something that requires root
[Moto X Q&A] 1ManWolfePack:
I'd say if you don't know then you don't need it right now. Play around with your phone and get to know it. Feel her out. You'll find some things you want to change, or get rid of. When you get to that point, then you'll need root.
[Moto X Q&A] MadFunnyBruh:
I've been using android in the past for a short period of time, but I guess that doesnt count. So I want to root my future moto x for example, I want to get rid of those Verizon stock apps, cuz I wont be using those. And like to freeze the OTA updates. And just explore what I can do wit it, since its an open source OS.
[Moto X Q&A] davidtb12:
Cwm recovery on the Verizon moto x is not available because the bootloader isn't unlocked unless you get dev edition, but root is available with PwnMyMoto and you can use xposed modules to change toggles, notification bar layout and nav bar height etc. If you use that root method and want to return to stock make sure you get familiar with RSDlite and fastboot. IMHO the stock ROM layout is already near perfect so besides some xposed stuff and freezing apps via Tbu there's not much more that really needs to be done to this phone, I think you'll be very happy with it as is. Active notifications, touchless controls, Motorola connect etc are awesome. Let us know how you like it when you receive it!
[Moto X Q&A] MadFunnyBruh:
Thnx for solid reply. So to my understanding, in order to use TBU I need to root first, right? And Since cwm recovery is no available due to locked bootloader I wont be able to flash custom roms, if there are any? Not saying I want to, just want to know =) Any other option of recovery?
[Moto X Q&A] davidtb12:
yes thats right tibu does need root since your looking to freeze/uninstall system apps. And as far as recoveries, there is a workaround called safestrap which is based off of TWRP that uses "rom slots" Im not entirely sure how it works though, probably someone more knowledgeable about that can chime in.

Sugestions

1. Instead of marking those which are safe to remove, I would mark the apk's which are needed for the phones's essential functions and which should not be removed. The rest may be some eye candy (i.e. wallpapers), or some features not everyone uses (examples: Teethering, TV launcher), or apps that may be redundant to some (example: Gmail, Email does the same). Their removal is subjective to each individual.

2. My comments after ->

ArtFilterCamera.apk ==== Useful for the camera -> these are mostly cheesy filter effects, IMO

BlackThemeBlueAccent.apk ==== Black Blue Accent Theme=== Safe to remove -> Themes come with build in accents but if you don't choose a theme that has accents, then you will have none. And also no check marks on check boxes, colours on toggles, etc.. My take: Don't remove.

BlueTheme.apk ==== Blue Theme=== Safe to remove -> it is the theme Air

HTMLViewer.apk ==== HTML viewer -> to my opinion safe to remove, haven't found any need to see html files outside the brower

NoiseField.apk ==== ? -> noise surpression for the mic

OnOffTools.apk ==== Related to the launcher probably -> threse are the Sony on/off toggle widgets

PartnerBookmarksProvider.apk ==== Bookmarks Related -> safe to remove

PicoTts.apk ==== Text To Speech Service -> safe to remove, keep the Google TTS, IMO

RemoteControlService.apk ==== ? -> That's the "find my phone and erase everything on it" feature, in case it's lost. If checked in settings, it also enables continuous phone location tracking and detail location storage on Google servers.

SemcAlbum.apk ==== Sony's Album=== Safe to remove -> I'd not remove that without having another one.

SemcEmail.apk ==== Sony's email app=== Safe to remove -> not present on my V

SEMCSetupWizard.apk ==== Setup Wizard -> safe to remove only needed for noobs, all setings can be done manually

SemcWarrantyTime.apk ==== ? -> exactly what is says, warranty timer

ShareApplication.apk ==== Share Application -> part of the social engine = safe removal

SomcXperiaLink.apk ==== Xperia Link -> easy connection to other Sony Link enabled devices

UpdateCenter.apk ==== Update Center -> not needed on non-stock roms

VpnDialogs.apk ==== VPN Dialogues -> safe to rfemove if you don't use VPN

3. Does anybody have a BlackThemeBlueAccent.apk for me?

Thanks once again for the gargantuan task you undertook!
[Sony Cross-Device General] DaRk-L0rD:
[MENTION=5373011]peter-k[/MENTION] bro, a complete list is always useful i think. Also, each of us probably wants to delete different stuff and have a complete idea i think is important.

On the other hand, i don't know what every single apk does and as i mentioned on the OP i will need your collaboration to find the mistakes because the list is pretty huge, so i wouldn't be able to say for sure which apks are important for the system and which not, so i preferred to add a "safe to remove" to those i know for sure that will not create problems.

Hope my english makes sense--> i don't have coffee at all :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] peter-k:
Sure your english makes sense why you think not? There is not only one english in the world but many, Indian, Australian, Scottish, etc etc, and we all can co-operate smoothly.

I would love to help but I've no more stock I debloated everything already, only 140 megs left in my app.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DaRk-L0rD:
No worries bro. I will do some more search with google and try to find out where the mistakes are so i can provide a complete list of the apks.

Next step with this tutorial is the social stuff and correct the mistakes :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] peter-k:
All this is 100 % safe to remove

This the biggest and most effective data collection app, 52 mb! Google searches and other search engine searches can be performed with any browser.

Google Search

Google's Facebook

It's a location tracker dressed up in a convenience function

Convenient photo uploading

Picasa Uploader

Talk Back

A multi function widget that is actually well meant and could have a good potential, but it's not well executed

Timescape feeds

Timescape

Timescape Feed

Timescape Friends

Timescape Friend View

Timescape Share

Twitter content can be viewed with a regular browse

Twitter

Twitter extension

Safe to remove, but still the no.1 IM I guess

WhatsApp

No use for it

Wikipedia extension

Mostly convenience features for social network users. All this can be done with regular applications, too. I think the reason for the presence is Sony wants to participate on user data harvesting.

(f) Xperia AppShare (if you want to recommend apps to friends)

(f) Xperia Calendar Sync (if you use Sony calendar)

(f) Xperia FB Setup (on time setup)

(f) Xperia Friends' Music (see what music your friends listen too)

(f) Xperia Musik Likes (let others see what music you like)

(t) Xperia Proxy

(f) Xperia Proxy

Xperia Share (part of social engine for Facebook and Twitter, I think profile photo share?)

Xperia Social Engine (Sony social engine framework)

(picasa) Xperia Social Engine Photos (picasa photo sharing)

(f) Xperia Social Engine Photos (Facebook photo sharing)

(t) Xperia Social Engine Sharing (part of Sony social engine for Twitter)

(f) Xperia Social Engine Sharing (part of Sony social engine for Facebook)

Xperia Twitter Setup (one time setup)

Youtube content can be viewed with a regular browser, songs can be sung in a regular bathtub

Have no idea bro. I will search some apks function today and I will edit the OP if i find something useful ;)

It is the application you can use in conjunction with Nfc, if you are using Nfc tags, the little sign patches to give commands to the phone. Not using tags, then it can go.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iHeymanth:
Thanks. removal done :D

do u know the apk names of mcafee, sony select, play now ? these are highly irritating apps for me :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] peter-k:
Sony Select = com.sonyericson.androidapp.storefront.apk

Play Now + and McMoney can be deleted via Settings -> Apps, afaik.

There was also some old junk in system/etc/product/application. Wipe out that noise.

CellInformationWidget.apk === Safe to remove. Just a widget showing your operator name.

FaceLock.apk ==== Removable, if you don't use it.

GoogleLyricsPlugin.apk ==== Google Lyrics Plugin. Safe to remove.

GpsSatellitesNotification.apk ==== GPS Satellites Notification. Removable if you don't use GPS at all.

SomcConnectivityCenter.apk ==== Connectivity Center. Removable if you don't use it.

SomcXperiaLink.apk ==== Xperia Link. Removable if you don't use it.

SoundLevelAlert.apk ==== Alerts you when the sound is too high. Removable only after you accept the dialogue allowing the volume to go higher.

SuperStamina.apk ==== Power Managment. Removable, however, if you remove it will not show the battery percent % in the status bar, this app does not interfere with deep sleep.

Stk.apk ==== Sim tool kit -- Quick access to some of your carrier services, removable if you don't use it (does not interfere with anything else)

TopContactsWidget.apk ==== Top Contacts Widget. Removable if you don't use this widget
[Sony Cross-Device General] underskyzx:
I just opened in text mode this apk Autopoweroff which is always eating memory, at first I thought It would auto shutdown in case phone is overheating but no it's just some safety measure mainly when your device is shipping from manufacture with no SIM card installed.

I did not test but thats what the apk says it does, I've deleted it and had no issues on my XU

Autopoweroff.apk === Automatically shutdown your device if theres no SIM card to avoid battery drain in case of accidental power on while it's shipping.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Isocadia:
They are not in the app folder, but in \system\etc\product\applications\ if I remember correctly. Together with Track ID and the google office suite if I'm correct.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iHeymanth:
if i go there and delete the apps i want then after reboot will they re install those apps or gone ?
