[Galaxy Note II General] Deshabilitado:
i have a question for the members with bugs ... are u using PURE STOCK ROM? (roms with knox bootloader) or are u using moded roms?

Because India rom (the one moded without knox bootloader) gave me random reboots but now im using Hong Kong rom (with the stock bootloader the one with knox) and it's so smooth and not a single reboot till now ...

[Galaxy Note II General] yuki920923:
Mine has been lagging ever since I got the update

Seems like I am the only one having major problems with the update here. My note 2 got so slow that it would get stuck for 20 minutes or so (switched to TouchWiz from Nova, not helping). I had to reboot so many times today. I've never rooted my phone and this is the stock update so I don't know what's going on.

I was very excited to see the "move to SD card" options and moved a couple of apps and games over.

I also keep getting the "Unfortunately, App X has stopped" notification.

p.s. does anyone feel like 4.3 makes the screen resolution seem terrible? It seems like I am using Android 3.x or something like that...

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note II General] Ge B:
Very happy with this update.

Crystal clear display.

Faster.

Battery lasts longer.

Not really found one bug.

App to Sd: some apps cannot be moved to SD; unclear why.
[Galaxy Note II General] yuki920923:
I personally think the battery life is better but not sure to what extent. I had many problems with the update at first (see my earlier posts) but it just fixed itself

Updated international Note II OTA here in Thailand yesterday. Update looks great but am watching the screen come on for a few seconds every minute or so without touching the device. Battery usage showed "media" as the largest culprit. Screen obviously number 2. I force closed 'media' and have seen no change in the screen issues.

Other than that, it looks nice, seems faster and smoother than my previous 4.1.2 update.

---------- Post added at 03:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 AM ----------

Sitting here watching the screen turn on and off, I see that it is doing it each time the clock rolls over to the next minute. About 2 seconds prior to the new minute the screen comes on, then remains on while the time clicks over to the next minute and does not go dark again for over 5 seconds.

Is good for me

Why am I losing about 20% battery in about 4 hrs with after removing my phone fully charged ?

I had 100% and then went to sleep for a few hrs. When I got up I saw 20% battery gone in 4 hrs.

Is this normal ?

I updated my N2 yesterday. It is very smooth, apps starting faster and it is stable. The screen looks also sharper and wifi connection is a lot faster now when I am browsing on the internet.

But I found one bug. On the homescreen I have the S Planner widget. When I tap on January, it says 'Touchwiz has stopped working'. What can I do to get rid of this annoying bug?

Overall it is a very nice stable smooth release. I love it!

My phone is on stock 4.3, never rooted. If I select the ripple effect in lockscreen, no colours appear. The ripples are colourless! No matter which colour I select. Flare lockscreen works properly. Anybody else experiencing this?

Hello

received 4.3 update yesterday and although everything looks fine multiwindow is not working and the side app bar won't come on. Also on the unlock screen before u unlock it there used to be some apps which are not there any more and i cannot install them because they are greyed out in the screen menu?

Anyone faced this problem ??
[Galaxy Note II General] PaulitoX77:
no choice but to do a factory reset. A friend had that problem, FR solved it along with other issues

Bugs

Here's a list of what I miss in the 4.3 official update. I come from 4.1.2 and never used custom rom or root. I live in Belgium.

Splanner: cant remove the sidebar while using 2 fingers (month, day, week)

Lockscreen: I can use multiple lockscreen but there are almost no apps I can put there.

No quick launch icons anymore.

When screen is off and you press powerbutton I can't swype anymore (I have to give my unlock code immediatly)

Gallery: Can't hide the sidebar with 2 fingers

Mail: Can't change the colors of different mailaccounts.

General: Smart Stay stays on even when I turn it off. (the eye icon stays on top of the screen)

Message: The text size was smaller on previous update.

hey i'm an owner of the GN 2 GN7100 the phone is working perfectly under 4.1.2, i rooted it with Odin (so the download mode is Odin version) and after i heard that the official 4.3 is rolling out from samsung i've done a a full factory reset to unroot it and there is no problem at all , but now the 4.3 european version is released , when i check for updates the phone askes me to dowload it , i download it normally but when the phone reboot and it starts to flash or extracting the new update it displays an error at 30% ,and the phone reboot to it normal state the 4.1.2 so now guy where is the problem ?? , sorry for the long post just wanted it to be detailed
[Galaxy Note II General] note2nooby:
i was so happy to update my phone to 4.3 via OTA , and i saw the forums and realized i fooled myself.

for now ill be stuck on 4.3 with knox ,,guarding'' my privacy[cough]

So far running good , battery is ok ,

compared to 4.1.2 its kinda laggy when waking up.

A delay of a second is happening and the clock readjust itself.

ahh yeah more Bloatware installed now , its full of useless apps ...

i should wait / or install any custom room to be free

Thanks. I wasnt aware of that. It is ridiculous to just have to pull out the s-pen just for unlocking. There is a lockscreen named 'Galaxy Locker' available in play store which shows color ripples even by hand. If that developer can do it, why not Samsung? Anyway, thanks for your reply.

I noticed on the battery graph, I hardly see any awake bar indication on it, even through the screen on bars are on. Generally when the screen is on, the awake bars will be there too. Wondering did they purposely hide it?
[Galaxy Note II General] bajaj:
I came from completely stock unrooted 4.1.2 ROM and upgraded via Kies. The most annoying bug and a real deal breaker is the exchange email is not working. I could setup my work email, then sync initial email, contact, task and calendar. But that's it. After the initial sync, nothing pushed. I already tried the following with no luck:

- ensure global sync is on

- change push to pull

- ferociously refresh email client

- delete and re-add the account

- factory reset the phone

- reinstall the update via Kies 3

- change mobile data to wifi

- use K Nine and Touchdown

Finally I installed stock email client from Kitkat and Exchange Services, found the apk from

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...4-4-with-gmail-style-ui-and-a-slide-out-menu/

Email work with push. Fiuh!

Then I added back my account to stock email client. It works!

Then I deleted the email account from Kitkat's client. Email at stock client still work. Deleted the Kitkat's client, email stil works. I guess it's the exchange services issue. It works well until I started installed Twitter and a bunch of other app which tried accessing contact. I got message that Exchange Services is not working. Well, at least the email works.

So, now I have two exchange services installed, but I don't know which one is running.

You can change the text size in message settings if you want to any time, or rather enable the volume key to do so.

S-Note / S-Pen bug

hi there.

performance has not improved for me as i get the nearly the same benchmarks (geekbench, antutu) but i face a lot more stutter and lag in the Touch Wiz UI after the 4.3 update.

most annoyingly Samsung not only did not care about updating the S Pen functions of the Note 2 but also messed up S Note. i get strange "unsupported charcter" error messages while taking handwritten notes which immediately erase all written text in the pen input box. :mad:

if you already updated and want to find out try to input a "?" or "/", \".

i am sure this is just the first of a number of bugs which i still haven't found out about - as always.

my advice: STAY AWAY FROM THIS POINTLESS FIRMWARE UPDATE! at least until a revision or a patch comes out.

Note 2, unbranded/german, Android 4.3, Build Nr. JSS15J.N7100XXUEMK9
[Galaxy Note II General] Makwaak:

Not sure if it was mentioned before. I'm on Verizon, and we finally got our 4.3 update for Note 2. So far everything working OK except I can't control music with my bluetooth headphones. I tried different pairs, all the same problem. I can change the volume up/down, and use multi-function button for calls. But while playing music I can't pause/play the song or double-click to skip the song.
[Galaxy Note II General] MSK1:
What exactly is the point of 4.3?

I've had it for a few days and I can't see any benefit.

-Uses a lot more ram

-Settings have been split so needs more clicks to do anything

-The movie setting colours are not vivid enough but the other settings are too saturated

-Haven't noticed any speed change

-Auto Location access seems to be using more battery than previously

-Chrome uses more battery than previously

-The dimmer brightener setting now looks cheap

-The swipe keyboard is less accurate

What exactly is the point apart from being on new software? Someone remind me.
[Galaxy Note II General] note2nooby:
3 days later my battery is on 8% (wifi occasionally, no 3G never)...

on 4.1.2 the same way of using 5 days to 8% :(

Tried and failed.

I uninstalled the new Exchange Services, and behold .... push mail is still working!

What I notice so far:

- battery last longer. At least that's how it seems.

- Feels more responsive

- Got new system fonts. Samsung Sans is nice

- Got Basa Sunda and Jawa for keyboard language input. Very nice, A!

So far, I like it after my email work again. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
Guys you must be doing something wrong. I had MK4 with Cirskelo for a couple of weeks now, which is basicaly a MK4 with Note 3 pack and some sound additions, root and Wana Xposed (which you can install manualy) and had ZERO problems. And it seems faster than 4.1.2. I can't understand how your official 4.3, which has less bloatware than my Criskelo can be slower or consume more battery???
[Galaxy Note II General] MSK1:
It's not slower but it certainly isn't any faster. ....

battery is affected by nlp issues so I have had to turn off location services.

Even if there are some benefits. ... They are miniscule unless u want the useless Gear.

I noticed today you can change the relative sizes of the two multi windows which was helpful.
[Galaxy Note II General] petrutzh:
Photosphere

I don't see Photosphere in 4.3
[Galaxy Note II General] digital0:
You can add widgets (for example, flashlight widget) to the lock screen, which AFAIR was not possible on 4.1.
[Galaxy Note II General] poepil:
How to do that? I've been trying to do that since i updated to 4.3 official. Can't find the menu in settings.

In addition i can see the ripple effect in lock screen. And i also can't find the menu to choose ripple effects in settings.
[Galaxy Note II General] MSK1:
Only clock or personal message available

Another shortcut
[Galaxy Note II General] bajaj:
While at the lock screen, swipe AT the widget (mine is at the clock). You will have four other screens which you can add widgets to. Be sure to enable it first at Display option
[Galaxy Note II General] poepil:
What do you mean by another shortcut?

Nope can't do that.

Btw the lock screen i see is the one with pattern input.

Enable what in display option?

My lock screen menu in setting doesn't look like yours. Many options are missing on mine. :(

I've tried changing the screen lock to swipe, i can't. The only options available are pattern, pin, and password. The other options are disabled even when i disabled all the device administrator stuffs.

Btw, thanks for replying.
[Galaxy Note II General] Makwaak:
I have the same. I miss those options too
[Galaxy Note II General] bajaj:
It has different options for each lock screen methods. Swipe, PIN, Pattern, Password, Face unlock are different. Multiple widget is available with Swipe only.
[Galaxy Note II General] poepil:
So in yours, with pattern enabled does the ripple effect shown?
[Galaxy Note II General] dangminh_dds:
It drains Battery. Please tell me which system apps that I can uninstall or using Titanium to freeze them?
[Galaxy Note II General] MSK1:
N3 has all features of 4.3. ... I believe N2 version doesn't have all the features...
[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
I think I'm going to skip this update unfortunately. I believe that some companies get so large that they program their devices to be a little slower and less optimized so you upgrade to the next device. Then, when you get that next device you'll see how awesome and fast it is compared to the original.

I'm not saying that Samsung is doing this now, but from what I am reading, 4.3 isn't worth the update. On top of that, it takes up more resources, and for what? Very few widgets on the lock screen? That's the place I spend the least amount of time! Or a few little software addons? Meh... I'll pass on this update. Maybe the next one?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akira.pwr:
I know this is a strange question, but... years ago, someone ported Android OS on an iPhone, so, I wonder if it's possible to port Android on a BB10 device.

Now BB10 can install and run Android apks, I was able to run launchers like Nova, Next 3D and Aviate.

Could someone tell me something about that? (maybe without flaming, I know BB isn't so popular for most of you), I'm only asking.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sony users

Finally got my Sony Xperia Z1

specs:

C6903

basebans: 8974-xxxxx

kernel: 3.4.0

Build: 14.1.G.2.257

Serial: BH902xxxxxxx

I just tried chinese vroot and it doesnt work, found on another thread it's not yet supported for .257 firmware.

So wanted to check if I can flash another stock rom as this phone is bought from t-mobile and think it's branded

(under software info it says: TELEKOM-LTE_14.1.G.2.257)

Coming from HTC (had few of them) this is another world with different flashing tehniques, bootloader, flashing stock roms, recoveries..

What I would like to know, I need root, which is simpliest way to do it?

Flash another stock rom firmware like this one?

C6903 14.1.G.2.257 Central Europe 1276-4314_R2A

Via flashtool?

Thanks, I've been reading those since yesterday, but one question before I start to recheck.

Currently downloading unbranded central europe 1.534 and 2.257

want to flash 1.534 then root via VROOT and upgrade via OTA to latest, will that go ok or will I loose root?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stegy:
Also, do I need to to TA backup before proceeding with anything via flash tool? Or is that only before going to custom roms/custom recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Use kingo* root instead of Vroot (They will both work, but kingo gives you an English SUperSU not a Chinese one)

If you root and then OTA you will keep root.

You only need a TA backup if you unlock the bootloader, which you do not need to do to root, or install recovery or install stock based custom roms.

You only need to unlock the bootloader if you are going to install custom kernels or custom roms that need a custom kernel (AOSP,CM etc)

*You should be aware that kingo is currently not supported by XDA, I do believe that vroot is in the same situation. XDA do not believe this is for malicious reasons and kingo and vroot are working on new version which don't do this. However, the only way to root a Z1 is via one of these 2 programs.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
Has anyone else had problems using Bluetooth tethering with your Nexus 5?

I can pair just fine and have no problem accessing the Internet etc. initially; however, after a 5-20 minutes of use the phone stops forwarding bluetooth packets to the Internet. The phone's Internet connectivity remains and Chrome on the Nexus 5 works flawlessly. If I disconnect the PC I'm connecting to the my Nexus 5 and try reconnect then I'm unable to do so. Instead I have to turn the Nexus 5's bluetooth off and enable bluetooth tethering again.

This is my second Nexus 5 as the first one was RMA'd. My first device also had this exact same issue; and was one of many issues that caused me to RMA in the first place. However, given that this is happening again, it looks like this is likely some sort of driver bug rather than anything related to hardware.

I'll root the device and get some proper packet logs (in addition to kernel logs) when I get a chance. For now... has anyone else experienced this?
