[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] truthkillszz:
I brought this phone for the hardware not software. I never use the gimmick features anyway and to me the AOSP camera is good enough for me. Besides I cam from my note 2 and the difference between the note 2 on TW and the note 2 on CM was incredible. I cant wait to get CM on this baby.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flipq88:
Well that's you. I'm sure there are plenty of people like me who prefer a stable tw rom than an always buggy aosp rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jahnbodah:
I for one... am hopeful.

And this is why, I had the note 2, and am now on the note 3, Sammobile posted that 4.3 was being tested for note 2 as of 9/25/13 and all the leaked documents show that it should be released (on all carries) the end of this month or beginning of december

So, with the news that 4.4 is being tested for note 3, if (big if) they follow a similar time table, within 3 months we should have the update...

Again... this is being very hopeful. just my opinion. we will see what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
I have rooted/unlocked about 10 diff phones over the past 4yrs and would have agreed with you up until a short while ago. The AOSP camera is no where as great quality as a "stock" phone ever is. Reason being, the drivers are not open source. Now that I have a baby, the reason I went with the Note 3 is due to its amazing camera/camcorder, which will not even be remotely close on AOSP. Thats the reason why I will always stick with a TW ROM. I have xposed and other mods done, so its pretty much AOSP to me anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dkb218:
I remember coming to XDA many moons ago to get fixes for my Ipaq 6513 - Windows mobile phone. There was no such thing as Android then. Those phones needs fixes like mad and XDA was here to work things out. I will only use a custom rom when the stock rom isn't up to par. That being said, I see no reason to apply a custom rom to the N3 or the N2. They were perfect out the box. CM is sorely lacking compared to TW.

Sammy may release a 4.4 update next month but I doubt T-Mobile will release it before March.

Note 2 Update will hit Dec. 2 for T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shadowjin:
Rep said the same today.. I called for a question regarding a Wifi bug and all she pulled up was Kitkat update for Note 3.(it was unexpected) but she did say its in testing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kabuk1:
Agreed 100%. I hate the AOSP camera, it's the most basic, crappy, unintuitive thing I've ever used. I have a cat that I love to take pictures of(why yes, I AM single! lol) and every time I tried an AOSP rom on my N2 I found myself cursing the camera & searching for a decent alternative. Nothing beats the voice-controlled option-rich TW cam, as far as I'm concerned :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] torticho:
When I bought my Note 2 the news that 4.3 was coming. Note 3 came out and never received 4.3

I'll believe it when I see it. :confused:

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinRazri:
Hi

I've recently got myself a Motorola Razr i running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and am very keen to find a really good T9-style alpha-numeric keypad because I can't get on with full size QWERTY keyboards on small devices.

I've looked at all the different options on Play but I have a question regarding the built-in keyboard options on this device/OS:

If I lock the phone with a PIN a really nice T9 keypad comes up to unlock the phone yet this is not available in other aspects of the OS such as messaging.

Does anyone know why this is, please, and is there any way to make it available elsewhere?

Thanks,

Paul
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzers:
It's actually a basic number pad.

I too highly dislike (hate actually) qwerty boards and I can highly recommend the (EvenBetter)NumberPad which I'm sure you've seen on the Store.

It was the first app I bought on buying the phone nearly 12 months ago and works pretty flawlessly, although for whatever reason there has been no update to it since July 2012 and the developer hasn't replied to previous emails I've sent.. As you've probably gathered there's a dearth of T9 keyboards and although I've tried some of the freebie ones since nothing comes close IMO.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinRazri:
My unlock screen isn't just a basic number pad - it has letters on the keys too.

Thanks for your thoughts on the other offerings out there. I have indeed seen the EvenBetter product on Play but was reluctant to spend money on something that might not have been any better than the free ones out there. In what way(s) is this one so much better than the free ones?

Thanks again for your response.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzers:
Is your phone retail or network? Curious as to why my unlock screen is just a number pad (not that it matters).

I can’t give a definitive answer as to why I find NumberPad better than the others I played around with as it’s a good ten months since I tried them and my memory won’t stretch back that far!, so let me say what I find so good about it.

The UI is simple, straightforward, and with everything you need to access on one screen: predictive text, ABC mode, add to dictionary, punctuation, numbers, caps lock, space, return, delete. Everything is perfectly sized and intuitive, and the only reason you’ll need to switch to the stock keyboard - accessed by a single button press - is if you want to insert any special characters.

Without it I would never have moved to Android (I had experienced it beforehand on a friends handset) as I detest qwerty boards on a phone, and to me its priceless.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinRazri:
I got my handset from a 3 store and was expecting it to be locked to that network but this is not the case. The 'System version' detail in the 'About phone' section makes reference to 'retail' if that answers your question.

Thanks for the additional feedback on the EvenBetter keypad. You obviously think it's worth spending money on so I'll give it some serious consideration.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bthoven:
Free keyboard app Multiling will give you either qwert kb or t9. I use its qwert kb with Light theme which looks like iphone kb and reduce my mistyping when compared with other themes..
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambuddy:
WinRazri,

Have you discovered something on built-in T9 keyboard? I got Swype preinstalled on my "I", and now i study to use it but anyway miss so much easy to use T9 i have had on my SonyEricsson LwW.

As an alternative T9 on Play market i found Smart Keyboard Pro, but you got to pay for it a little and dispite of all its advantages it's not a built-in app((

I wanted to know if any developer can port touchwiz 4.0 to our device.

And that too real touchwiz 4.0 ,I am not asking for a modded touchiwiz 3.0 .

Any help regarding this is appreciated
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mradermaxlol:
Hah, bro, it's like porting things from Android 4.4 to 1.5. It's impossible. Just TW 4 is for Android 4.0. But in 4.0 different APIs are used, it's the first explanation that it's impossible. I think that just this is enough ;)

[HTC One S] MikinshLaw:
Hi everyone.

I have HTC One S (S3) its rooted and bootloader is unlocked and i wanted to install custom rom and something went wrong. Now i have boot loop and i dont know how to fix it. I dont have backup and cant mount sd.

Recovery- TWRP 2.6.3.0

S-ON

Please help!

NOOB
[HTC One S] truevision:
You are with s-on, You must flash the kernel !
[HTC One S] MikinshLaw:
I flashed the kernel but stil unable to mount sdcard.
[HTC One S] mjsheldon4:
If you haven't tried this already,

flash the stock recovery

bootloader: "clear storage"

Stock recovery will usually restore the sdcard and format it properly.

!!!This will erase your internal memory but it usually fixes the basic sdcard issues,
[HTC One S] MikinshLaw:
THANKS !!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deputydog95:
I rooted the phone. Before I even started using it :)

I keep that error over and over.

Suggestions? Super annoying.
[HTC One X] magister_maciak:
Any clues guys? Maybe I should ask different question: do you know a method to check if the internal storage is faulty (chkdsk kind of thing)? Maybe my case is helpless (why I can read/write it from recovery, though).

Also, I was thinking about booting recovery (fastboot boot recovery - NOT fastboot flash recovery), hoping it won't read from storage but from memory, thus allowing me to unmount the storage and format (am I correct here? would it help anyway?). The thing is fastboot boot recovery won't work on HOX, but maybe there's a specific way that overrides kernel commandline (fastboot -c ... ) known already.
[HTC One X] webpatrick:
My HOX is stock, locked and working perfectly, and when I do a fastboot getvar all I also see partition-layout: none, so that cannot be the problem.
[HTC One X] magister_maciak:
Thank you webpatrick, good to know that. So this one is not a problem.

I suspect bad sectors then (I wonder if that could be a reason for my HOX to restart on stock and gapps keep crashing on CWM back in the days it was alive). Any idea how to verify that and maybe fix?
[HTC One X] magister_maciak:
Ok, so browsing (way) outside One X forum, I found GPT fdisk compiled for android. It is available in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24805392&postcount=74 or directly http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64885133/gptfdisk.zip. I could use it to load partition data from a backup file, but - obviously - I don't have one.

Could any of you guys run gdisk from the zip, back up GPT data to a file and post it?

./adb push gdisk /sbin
./adb shell

~ # gdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.4

Command (? for help): b
Enter backup filename to save: backup.gpt
The operation has completed successfully.

Command (? for help): q

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One X] magister_maciak:
Couple points more:

1) To clarify, as I believe it matters, I have 32GB version, so I'd enjoy GPT back up for this one. Anyone, pleeeeease?

2) Also, one more question. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that:

a) If I flash firmware manually, I don't have to change the name of the zip file

b) If I "flash" automatically, I need to change the name of the firmware zip to the specific one, PJ46IMG.zip in my case, before I put it on the sd card

Not that I could try b), but just wondering if I've been trying a) in the correct way

I have the LG G2 Verizon variant and knock knock works. No bugs here. Can you elaborate? Everything with the exception of selecting "Wallpapers" when you long press on the home screen works. Just to clarify, when you long press, you are presented with Wallpapers, Widgets, and Settings (the Google Now settings).
[G2 Themes and Apps] friguy3:
So besides the swipe to the right for google now and always on "hey google", are there any differences or things you like better than the LG Launcher, because that is great for me.

[G2 Themes and Apps] friguy3:
Tried it and was....eh. I liked the swipe to the side for Google now but otherwise, it was nothing special. Don't need the always on Google search (w/ the screen on). And my wallpapers are all stretched so back to stock LG launcher (And I get more icons with it).

I like the big icons. And performing Google search from your home screen using just your voice is a plus for me.

Hello all,

My Note 3 touchscreen is freezing. When I restart the phone it works temporarily then it freezes again. ... I can use the S-Pen on the screen and that works fine.

I can even unlock my phone using my fingers on the touchscreen and that works, so I'm assuming it's not a hardware/touchscreen issue.

Here is what I have tried to resolve issues but it still doesn't work:

1.Soft Reset

2.Hard Reset (everything erased)

3 . Clear cache from boot screen.

Any advice on getting this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and the search by "OK Google" would always fc on me regardless of using the UK English work around.
[G2 Themes and Apps] kkyz13:
Tried it when it just came out. Google Search FC everytime I try to search with voice even after the aformentioned lib fix. Have yet to try with P.A.C. ROM which I flashed just a few days ago.

Also modifies Google Search system wide, so if you use Google Search in Nova or other launchers it would take you to the Google Expereince launcher, which kinda sucks because you get this very noticable lag getting to Search.

Otherwise, its nice, but crashes occasionally, would be sticking to Nova Prime.
[G2 Themes and Apps] macace21:
Never mind, I feel like a moron ;) I figured out how to get everything to work perfect except for the wallpaper. For all of those wanting search and everything else to work, you need to move the appropriate lib files into the system/lib folder like mentioned above. There is a post on this forum for the nexus 7 I think, that has all the apps, lib files, and font files all for download in zip format. To make the launcher work properly and the apps, you just need to be rooted and more the appropriate lib files over.
