[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] madsquabbles:
another guy in the other ota update thread mentioned the same thing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Fixter:
I can confirm that it did in fact remove the effect on the lockscreen... What in the world... That was a nice feature. Mind you it lagged beastly for such a powerful device. (Specs sheet wise)

PS: I can definitely see a noticeable difference in speed. It might be just for the time been. But i'll keep you guys posted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ckelly33:
There is something about that water effect that causes more lag than it should. I noticed on my first generation Note 10.1 that disabling it improved speed on the homescreen and even typing. It shouldn't, but it did. When I noticed this I asked two other guys and they were having issues with lag. I told them to disable the water effect. Both also agreed that it improve the speed of the device as a whole.

Doesn't make any sense. I was, however, glad to see the ripple effect gone. It is beautiful though (less the lag)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] abacus0101:
Why do they take it away...regardless...

If indeed it cause lagged, why not just give the option of the three effects on the lock screen and add, an off feature and let the user of the tablet decide if they want it off or not. They also, have bugs in the high end graphics games crapping out. They also have cause the S-voice to crash when you ask certain questions, they also have contacts created with action memo failing to keep first and last names apart. I will do a video on all this nonsense and post it on youtube. Hopefully, Samsung will see it and respond with some sort of fix for all this stuff, and maybe just maybe they will put back the ripple effect and let us chose if we want it or not. And by the way Samsung if your reading this, your tablet still is laggy at times even with this ripple effect turned off.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] markn455:
Yes, the feature seems to be gone along with the option in settings to enable it.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] abacus0101:
almost ready to return tablet ...cant take samsung and the way they do the updates. total disregard for the user, not fixing the real bugs instead taking away a feature that I found to be quite soothing and liked very much. just frustrating company. I will do a video tomorrow and lets see how samsung responds to my doozy of a video.

Who cares about the water color effect
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] allan1313:
Seriously. Normally I wouldn't comment on something like this, but if that's what makes you bring the tablet back....smh
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nrage23:
The newest update definitely made the tablet smoother. I am impressed that they put out 3 updates in one month to make the tablet better.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] abacus0101:
Ok, well Im wondering what lag you guys are referring to. My point was that all samsung had to do was give an option to turn off, the effect, for those that wanted to, and they could have stated it makes the tablet slightly if any faster. Anyway, Believe it or not, I was able to add it back in for those who like to use it and guess what the lag issues are still fixed. The app is called galaxy locker here is the link and it works like a charm.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ChrisNee1988:
I wonder if part of the reason for turning it off was for the multiuser cause they needed to make the lock screen more like AOSP?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] RemyL75:
I thought I was going insane when I turned my tablet on and the watercolor effect was gone. I am hoping they bring it back or at least replace it with something better-looking than the current Tab 3 lock screen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] redstar299:
Do you guys have a slight delay when you press the home button on the note until it lights up to the lockscreen? Mine is smooth are silk once I pass the lock screen but I still have that slightly delay
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GeorgeP:
My has about a 1 second delay. That is a little improved with the last update. I'm all for them taking out the eye candy like that lockscreen effect and focusing on the basic speed and quality of the apps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] edthesped:
Yep at this point it is the only delay I notice,
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
Every samsung device I've ever used has this home button delay. Even though the hardware has gotten exponentially faster and the OS has become more and more optimized. At this point it's not a delay anymore, it's a feature.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] redstar299:
Lol.. ok cool I was just checking. It's not a big deal. Once you're in I'd say it's definitely snappier since third update
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SS2006:
if you want it back that bad, and still want the fast speed (faster speed IMO), stick with th MJ6 firmware:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] caguas56:
Hi, I know this may not be the place and forgive me is is not but some of us are becoming desperate. can any developer look at the possibility of making a rom for the US AT&T Samsung Galaxy Mega?. all roms are for the International one and we don't know if someone is doing some work on it. Again, pardon me for posting this question here but I don't know what else to do. some of us would like to get rid of the bloatware in our roms.

Thank you for your understanding.

I just picked up this phone on 1.08 I use straight talk. Still unrooted and stock for now. Is there a way to delete the att APN? I entered all the st into into a new APN. Just no option to select it. Thanks
[HTC First] killall-q:
There's 2 you can't delete, one hard set for AT&T and one I think is autodetected from the carrier. I have an old SIM and I'm using the autodetected APN (att.mvno), if you have the new ST SIM that supports LTE, you need to create a new APN (press menu) and enter the settings from here: http://www.prepaidphonenews.com/2012/09/how-to-setup-straight-talk-data-and-mms.html
[HTC First] 31ken31:
I made the APN. Can't select it. I only have 2 apns listed one is att which is greyed out with green dot. And the other is my st APN .
[HTC First] amphi66:
You will need to be rooted, unlocked and s-off (checkout moonshine). Simply setup your new ST APN and select it. Don't worry about deleting the AT&T APN. Then look further on this site to bypass the the ATT lockout for tethering by modifying the telephony database.

HI all, I just change from Galaxy S3 to Note3 yesterday arrived finally with black color, I like the metal style finishing inner screen better this time from mt S3 white ^^.

Same time my sisters and 2 others family members also change from Apples to note3, 1 take Telco A contract, 1 take Telco B contract and one buy from Samsung retailer. For me I buy online, also a retailer and have Original Samsung Warranty.

Here I notice 1 different from my family purchase, on my Galaxy Note 3 Box which is nice and "green" with recycle material. I have a chop on my box' sticker with word "Legend". I couldn't find out what is that mean even asked my online retailer no reply. Kindly share if you have same chop on box and know what its mean or different from others.

If it was bought online it might be a grey import product. To use your sim card it would have to 1st be activated. After turning on, activating the phone with a regional sim card they may have sealed the box again and the sticker is an anti- tamper sticker they have put back on to show it is a new product after they set it up 1st...

I've been researching this for a couple of weeks, and have finally managed to change the Flag of Knox on the Bootloader... at the moment, I'm no closer to actually repairing the 0x1 counter, but it does let us know that it is indeed software/firmware related.

Wow I thought aboot sent a command to the TrustZone kernel to set the fuse. Where did you find this flag? Newer versions of aboot will probably verify it using public key cryptography.
[Galaxy S 4 General] LastStandingDroid:
that seems to be done since the new KnoxBootloader came into the phone, it looking for matching keys and if they're not present well it will trigger Knox 0x1 and it seems like it won't kill your warranty, but i'm not sure how its outside EU but several people claimed that it doesn't void the warranty (except US)

Well as i'm not wrong it's even stated by samsung that it looks for keys and if it's not the correct key the Knox will be triggered and the TIMA (Knox) won't working unless you somehow contact a service center for help (but yeah it seems even if you've rooted your phone) which means you'll get knox 0x1 you're still able to get the Knox but well that explains much but seems to be not an efuse due to the mention by samsung that it uses keys and also that it can be fixed bla bla

[Galaxy S 4 General] CNexus:
That's why put a big "DEV" or "R&D" tag in the title, and stick it in the developers only section. If anyone has issues as a result of it afterward, you can't say you didn't warn them.

As with many things in life, I'm sure the benefits would outweigh the costs if you simply shared your work.

Of course, in the end it's your choice and no one can force you to do anything.

But realize that there are other ways to go about this. A private hangout for example, or G+ community, or something like that. I simply think discussion would be beneficial.
[Galaxy S 4 General] galnet:
I'll share once I know it works, at the moment we need to be sure that any information posted about Knox is FACT as to many people are starting to make their own news.

You have my word that should I find something that no one else has or mentioned in the past, I will post it instantly.

This isn't really a dev situation and is general information at the moment so hence why I didn't put DEV or R&D into title. :good:

If your device had already onboard the sbl1 i think you don't need to flash again. Maybe they ship sbl1 for minor fix to that particular region..

At the same MDM GBL - no MBN files

0xffffffc you can get with just a flash of the old file tz.mbn

I made many attempts and experiments with a lot of files that I have, but I got only a downgrade to 4.2.2, but Knox remains
[Galaxy S 4 General] _alex74_:
Ok read a lot here.... true or speculations?

Let's base on facts....

so if you flash tz.mbn you get that code.... and i ask to you all?

On which situation? Knox 0x0 or 0x1

In fact is a efuse is involved, we can have only two possibilities, so flashing above file on both situation getting same code means no efuse for SURE!!

Otherwise we are going to get 2 different codes(one for on/active other for off/blown)

Having 0xffffffc is a third situation that can be only software related.....(so Knox void software thing)

In fact trying to convert in whichever code or language does not mean 0 neither 1 ....(in case that above file makes just a conversion, but i do not think so,,,)

Googling above code leads to a MS document, above few sentences

Compound File Binary File Format

Figure 11: Sectors of a FAT array

The FAT is an array of sector numbers that represent the allocation of space within the file, grouped

into FAT sectors. Each stream is represented in the FAT by a sector chain, in much the same fashion

as a FAT file system.

The set of FAT sectors can be considered together as a single array. Each entry in that array

contains the sector number of the next sector in the chain, and this sector number can be used as

an index into the FAT array to continue along the chain.

Special values are reserved for chain terminators (ENDOFCHAIN = 0xFFFFFFFE), free sectors

(FREESECT = 0xFFFFFFFF), and sectors that contain storage for FAT sectors (FATSECT =

0xFFFFFFFD) or DIFAT Sectors (DIFSECT = 0xFFFFFFC), which are not chained in the same way as

the others.

The locations of FAT sectors are read from the DIFAT, which is described below. The FAT is

represented in itself, but not by a chain. A special reserved sector number (FATSECT = 0xFFFFFFFD)

is used to mark sectors allocated to the FAT.

A sector number can be converted into a byte offset into the file by using the following formula:

(sector number + 1) x Sector Size. This implies that sector #0 of the file begins at byte offset

Sector Size, not at 0.

Okay, i'm nothing more than a themer, but seems related to Knox explanation, or maybe is useless..... up to experts now....

Keep going Masters:good::good:

According to Samsung, KNOX is an eFuse:

So even if you can make the download mode screen show 0x0 instead of 0x1, that's just a cosmetic fix. When the bootloader sends out its voltage spike the eFuse on the chip stays melted. Any code that directly reads the status of the hardware circuits will detect that the fuse is blown. You'd need to open up your phone and solder in a new chip to repair the damage.

Yep, its worth equal to nothing until he explains what exactly has been done. The knox flag is very likely redirected by a signed pointer anyway so Samsung would just laugh at you.
