[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigillz:
I fixed my skipping problem in Pandora. I first noticed the issue running Beans' ROM. I have a Pandora One subscription - I was having a fraction of a second hitch/skip/hiccup in my audio every minute or two, streaming to a Pioneer DNX9990HD head unit. I switched back to stock rom and the problem went away. After a bunch of digging, I found a post suggesting it may be the ad blocking hosts file at fault that shipped with the ROM. Fortunately, that was the case. Beans' ROM installs with a giant hosts file blocking tons of ad sites. Even though I have a Pandora subscription, some ad check / subscription check / feed query that was happening and failing was causing the hiccup. I also felt like the audio quality wasn't the HQ setting I had it on (192kbps) - I can't say for sure this was the case, but it sounded less crisp than normal. It's possible there was a background subscription check occurring and when it failed it was not using the HQ subscription audio quality. Now that I've reverted to a stock hosts file, the hiccup is gone and audio quality sounds perfect.

Yes yakitori2, android 4.3, A2DP streaming all day long, no issues whatsoever. Like I suspected, it had nothing to do with the A2DP stack.

You should also read this lovely news piece - http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...2dp-audio-streaming-fix-for-the-next-release/ , where Google announced in January that the next release of 4.2 (loooong ago, which would be older than our 4.3) would include a fix for the A2DP problems.

Sorry you're still having problems. You should investigate more, very likely some other issue / software on your phone is causing the problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakitori2:
Yeah..I knew 4.3 was supposed to fix the a2dp bug, but it didnt on my devices. However...they were all running custom roms...and possible had ad hosts as well....I had no idea that would cause anything. Ill would look into it, but Im on 4.4 and dont have any issues at all. so..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V@no:
It is a2dp + other apps running in the background. Factory reset, install only pandora - no stuttering, install some apps, start them (fill up memory) and try play in pandora - stuttering could be up to 20 times a minute. (using pandora as an example, but it affects any audio players)

Also, the receiver is important too, some receivers handle these micro pauses gracefully to a point that it's barely noticeable, others stop for 1/2 seconds makes it impossible to listen.

To conclude, the stuttering occur mostly when memory is overloaded; and screen off makes it even worse. It looks to me BT gets very low priority on phones.

P.S.

I first noticed this issue on Note 2 running stock 4.1.2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Same here! My Note 2 never skipped streaming Pandora over BT on any Android version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legato Bluesummers:
I get it in both poweramp and Google music. I think someone once said it was cause of being rooted and the app doing some kind of validation check while playing. I forget how he said he stopped it. Maybe I'll try rootcloak module from xposed tonight on the way in with the music apps set in root cloak and see if they don't skip. Rootcloak hides root from whatever apps you tell it to.

THANK YOU!!!! This solved my Note 3 problems! I got a Pandora One subscription and noticed every time the screen went off the music would stutter. The quality of the music seemed a little nutsy... I could stream Google music and other music without a problem all day. But Pandora, no matter WHAT I did, it would stutter.

I did what you said above (running CleanRom) - and restored the host file.... BAM I'm playing with the screen off with high quality.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermojorizin:
glad to hear the 64kbps sounds "perfect" to you. wonder what the hell you were getting before?

"Audio Quality

Pandora on the Web plays 64k AAC+ for free listeners and 192kbps for Pandora One subscribers. All in-home devices play 128kbps audio, and mobile devices receive a variety of different rates depending on the capability of the device and the network they are on, but never more than 64k AAC+."

http://help.pandora.com/customer/portal/articles/90985-audio-quality

hope you understand that pandora one plays at 64k on android

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

64k is now high quality you say?

sorry, not meaning to be a ****, but just wonder if there's a way to hack this stupid app to get anything higher than 64k on android with my pandora one subscription (cause stock app only does 64, but pandora will do 192 with the desktop user agent in Dolphin browser).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMcGuire:
Not a problem - I've had a hard time believing the 192 kbps. Playing the same song on Google Music resulted in 2-3x the quality. I used HitBliss to get a free Pandora One subscription but I hardly use it for the quality reason. Nice to see proof of this. I can't stand the quality difference even if I get Pandora One for free.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigillz:
I find references to that same txt/support article from many years ago, so I'm guessing it's in need of an update. I'll mail support and check. I certainly see higher download rates as it's streaming (transfer rate in notification bar mod).

Fyi, I installed the Verizon kitkat note 3 leak and all my stuttering issues over Bluetooth have been fixed! It also fixes Bluetooth metadata and will display song title, artist.. etc.. using pandora, spotify, iheart.. :D

Hey I ordered a red slim armor for my note 3 price is good I don't mind bulk looks amazing order comes in tomorrow my question is how dose this case feel in hand for those that have it dose it have good grip or is it slippery and dose the glossy plastic scratch ? I don't mind finger prints as they can wipe off but I don't like scratches
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] theorioles33:
I have the blue one which is not glossy. Its not slippery at all. Its my favorite case so far. I also have the hybrid. It feels good in the hand and doesn't really add much bulk. No scratches yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kwhodson:
I have the blue slim armor. Like it is causing issues with my power button. The power button is not working correctly with the case installed. Anyone else?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] theorioles33:
I have that case. No issues with the buttons. Are you sure its fitted correctly?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] YungMage:
Make sure the buttons are inserted properly into outer shell if you removed it. Try reinserting.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kwhodson:
I took the case off and installed it as two separate pieces. Button is now working. Thanks! The first couple times I installed it I did it as one piece and the button was not inserting right. Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Just got mine today, love it. It is slippery though, I have the slate but I feel like the phone can survive a drop now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] deejay6901:
one thing i jist noticed with this case is that it doesnt fit on the desktop charger. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Manofthehr:
I just received my case yesterday and the case feels protected and sturdy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] billiy:
Just cleaned up my slim armor case with windex found after cleaning it has a much better grip and doesn't fingerprint much at all. Also buffed out most of the what I thought was scratches. From the last 2 weeks. Cleaned off the screen and pen as well pen stopped leaving marks I has to wipe off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tw1n5nak35:
My soul black slim armor case arrived today. For the past 2 weeks I've been using a neo hybrid satin silver, but I decided to buy this case. Just in case either of them break, I have a good backup. The only complaint I have is that the back is super glossy and attracts alot of finger prints.But it's ok :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tyre777:
Got the metal slate. Compared to the neo hybrid, this case feels better on my hand. Fits like a glove and doesn't add that much bulk.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jimmy2u:
Well I have the amzer belt clip case for my N3...I got it from fommy and I just love this case...its very nice and sturdy one...so i like this case...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] UCSB:
Slippery?

I just got my Slim Armor in white today. Nice quality and seems like it will protect the phone. BUT, it seems slippery. Has anyone had any problems with actually dropping this phone because it has slipped out of their hand? I used the Cruiserlite on my Note 2 and it was very grippy with textured sides where you held it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] troyd28:
The case is pretty slippery I wish it had grips on the side or on the back or something
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
Just got mine today. It does feel a bit slippery though. I really like the case. I ordered the metal slate as I heard that one wasn't glossy like the black one. Anybody know which other colors aren't glossy?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jsdecker10:
I also got my Slim Armor in white today as well =) Also got the Black UAG case in today as well. I couldn't make up my mind between the two, so I just ordered both! lol But from what I've read, the slate blue is the only non-glossy slim armor case for our phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
I also have the black uag, I've had nothing but Uag on my S3, S4, and Note 3 so I wanted to try something different. Kind of digging the slim armor.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
What color is your GN3? Would you post some pics of your phone in this case?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ae14:
I do love this case, great protection with a moderate price. However, a little disappointed that the back gets scratched so easily. I have had the metal slate for 10 days, and there are scratches everywhere:(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jsdecker10:
I just keep something soft to set it on next to my bed and at my computer desk. You can use anything....hell, you can even use somethin soft like a sock lol ......ANYTHING to keep our precious devices/accessories from gettin all scratched & scuffed up!!!:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stocovick:
Do you guys know if it is possible to use the slim armor with a 0.2mm tempered glass screen protector? Thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bjh345:
I've had this for the last 3 months, and it's holding up well.

Biggest downside I've encountered is the headphone jack opening- you can't plug in a bulky/right angled jack without cutting some of the rubber away.

It works fine with the glass screen protectors too, this combo has survived building sites and heavy rain with no issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] paulk_:
Works fine with my 0.3mm tempered glass screen protector
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
Works fine with my Iloome Screenmate. I think it's .4mm
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stocovick:
Thanks guys! Just ordered the metal slate and the Armorz Stealth Extreme LITE Tempered Glass!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
Same here. Have the slate as well for a little over a week and the back already has a bunch of scratches. Makes me think I should cancel my order got the Slim Armor View.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ae14:
I ended up returning it after roughly 2 weeks. Too many scratches for my liking. Went with a defender and wouldn't go back. Amazing case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stocovick:
Just got mine, a metal slate, and it has a wide gap between the black rubber part and the blue plastic in the bottom of the case. The upper part is better but not perfect. Is everyone's like this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fillyo:
Hey all, these S3 forums have been great and all the devs are fantastic but I picked up an S4 yesterday off Craigslist, so moving on. The S4 feels great, screen is awesome, and overall it feels like a bigger upgrade than I originally thought after using it for a day. I considered the G2, but I really want removable batter and SD card, and I do like a lot of the Samsung features. I'll poke around since my wife still has an S3 and it's running CleanROM. 4.3 should be coming soon for you guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
Are you able to unlock the bootloader on that new phone?

Does someone know where to buy this?

On ebay there is nothing :( ..

Does someone have a link?..

on ebay there is sth, but not sufficient

For a whole replacement you need

1) Front cover

2) Back cover (the link belongs to this)

3) Battery cover

Indeed the guy sold the other two items. (I know because I wanted to buy but I thought it was expensive)

[General Questions and Answers] spertinolucas:
Hi guys.

I have a tv box with hdmi and av out. My tv is old, so I use the AV out to connect it... It works fine.

My question is: Can I configure the HDMI as input or so, so I can connect the notebook to the box, and use the TV as a monitor?

I connect all as mentioned, but there isn't how to configure this in the android box...

This is, using the android box as a HDMI to AV converter, something like that...

PD: sorry for my english...

Does anyone encounter any serious stuttering or lag when they are scrolling a page on the internet. If anyone has any tips on how to fix it than I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm up to date so I'm hoping there is a quick fix I can do.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] abacus0101:
Depending on the web page, it doesn't scroll as smoothly as an iPad if thats what you were hoping for. But this is the case I find with most android devices. Although, it has been reported that rooting the device and turning off, some of the Samsung Bloatware such as Knox applications, improves it significantly. I personally won't do that because I do like some of the samsung apps and don't want to mess up the tablet's S-Pen functionality, even though the rooting supposedly doesn't mess with that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] noctisk:
A friend of mine recently bought the wifi version and together with my lte variant we started doing some everyday performance comparisons.

One of the things we noted immediately was the stuttering when scrolling in the browser or when pulling down the notification bar. It was nonexistent in the wifi version , but the lte version (even though rooted and free of bloatware) was constantly stuttering. I just hope it was the effect of the performance updates the wifi version received, else I have to say the exynos is superior. What do I want with a snapdragon that can't even handle smooth scrolling..?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] abacus0101:
Thats surprising as I thought for sure the snapdragon would be superior. I have read the speed comparison tests and it gets better benchmarks than the wifi version. The only surprise down the road is the rumored patch that samsung is working on that will allow all eight cores to work simultaneously together which would make the enynos version faster.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mikeakanice:
My device is the wifi version. Yet still horrible choppiness, stuttering, lagging when I scroll. It is starting to feel like a game breaker to me which would be ashame because the S pen feature is the most wonderfully polished feature ever. I'm a student of course though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mikeakanice:
I find it really curious though that with 3 gigs of ram and the type of processor this device has that it shouldn't be running as smoothly as the ipad. I mean spec wise this thing is a monster. Is it just bad software optimization? I'm also afraid of rooting because I've never done it and the term is pretty new to me. I know I'm a noob :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jack880:
im also scared of rooting.

Are you using the stock browser? I'm using Dolphin HD. I also downloaded Flash. I found that switching flash to on demand vs always on seemed to help. I occasionally get a slight freeze or crash but overall I'm pretty happy with the Web browsing.

I've used puffin, chrome, and stock. In fact, the stock browser has the least issue. Also, has anyone noticed that youtube videos that say HD don't look very good. Sorry, it's my first time with a tablet.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ikecomp:
To be honest, I believe this might be an issue with youtube. I noticed on my note 2014 that I'm only able to play 720p youtube videos. I've tried Tubemate as well as other 3rd party youtube apps that allow you to download videos and I never get any options above 720p quality. Why google/youtube would impose this restriction I have no idea.

The problem with this is that on a tablet with 2560x1600 resolution, content shot at 1280x720 resolution can look less than impressive. However, when you get a hold of quality 1080p content the screen is downright amazing.

I already think this tablet gets way too hot for doing normal stuff. I'm not touching octa even if somebody figures out how to hack it. It would probably melt my precious plastic leather.

I'll patiently wait for Samsung to optimize the software. I know this hardware is capable enough, damn it. It's a freaking pull down. That can't be that intensive as to bring a 1.9GHz quadcore to its knees unless somebody coded it wrong.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] C2Q:
I think performance is decent enough for this tablet without the octa patch. That is once you tinker with it and optimize everything. My rooted, customized galaxy s3 runs smoother than the beast of a note sometimes. But anyway, that's the fun part.

As for lag or stutter, I do get it, but I think after rooting and cleaning up Samsung's touchwiz, it will get much better.
