[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarman_1998:
I've been unable to get the SM-N900T to link up USB 3. I've been looking in the kernel source and doing some debugging and the USB 3 host controller isn't even registering a USB 3 device connected to the port. Just a USB 2 device. I've looked at some of the datasheets for the Snapdragon 800 processor in this phone and its not really clear if it supports USB 3 OTG, or just USB 3 MTP as a device.

I'd love to get a definative answer from samsung or qualcomm but for now i've given up on USB 3.0 OTG with the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookpic:
I too would love to hear if it is possible to get the phone to USB3 in OTG mode and not just MTP. I purchased 2 "USB3.0 OTG" cables expecting faster transfer speeds with my external USB 3.0 SSD or USB 3.0 memory sticks. No such luck.

When contacting the seller to inquire about the inability to transfer at superspeed, I was just given responses like it must be a bad cable and will issue a refund. I purchased 2 of these and both have identical transfers speeds.

Likely just get a refund as it looks like it may not be possible to switch the phone to USB3 for the OTG. Bummer.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarman_1998:
I have a couple different cables coming today. If they both test at only USB 2 then I'm going to call it a fail.

What i really don't get is why the would put an xhci host in the snapdragon if they weren't going to support USB 3 in host mode.

I've tried a variety of USB 3 OTG adapters and none of them have worked correctly. Suspect OTG functionality doesn't work with USB 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siregorash:
Okay

I have tested with 2 different 9005 and 3 USB3.0 OTG Cable from 3 different source.

Everything doesn't work. All possible test are conducted and test results are at USB2.0 speed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcream:
N900 N9000 and N9005

N900 is the Note 3 Neo version. It has USB 2.0 only

N9000 is the Exynos version with USB 3.0

N9005 is the Snapdragon version wiht USB 3 ports but USB 2 speeds.

I want to buy this phone as I can use an Image App to control a camera, and then copy the SDXC card to a USB3 HDD.

Could someone kindly confirm with a quality USB 3.0 OTG cable that the N9000 Exynos version is capable of USB 3

speeds while operating as a USB 3 host ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRabbit2:
N900a n900t

I have both a N900A and N900T rooted and running android 5.0.1 roms.

Having the same results as the rest of you, ~35Mb/s transfer speeds on usb 3.0 otg with a ssd. Quite disappointing.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ascertion:
KitKat is so optimized now...

If somebody made a GB rom, we'd lose;

- NFC capability

- Wireless Printing capability

- OpenGL ES 3.0 support

- CRT off animation

- ChromeCast support

- Group Messaging

- Notification quick controls (on pulldown bar.)

- Google Wallet

- USB audio

- Android Beam

- Soft Buttons

- Data Usage tracker

- Chrome support

- Hardware acceleration of the UI

- WiFi Direct

- 1080p resolution recording via camcorder

- And lots more, but these are pretty much the highlights.

If anything, someone can make a Gingerbread Theme, but the effort and time to go back that far would be redundant.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
That was a Gnex-specific feature. There are plenty of ICS phones with a ton of shutter lag. And no, an ICS backport is in no way necessary for this phone. ICS is KitKat minus a bunch of features and optimization. Why not just dial it all the way back to Eclair and have some really good times?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrvate:
I can understand the love for good 'ole gingerbread. I refused to run ICS / JB on my daily driver -- Stuck with CM7 until I got the Nexus 5. Really GB/CM7 is a great piece -- Refined, stable, efficient, well understood, all the right tweaks.

I'm very happy with KitKat, even the stock image. Only notable complaint is the lack of battery percentage and signal strength (dbm) displayed in the statusbar as text, but once all the features get checked into the CM11 tree over the coming weeks, those and many more tweaks will yet again be available.

KK is beautiful much in the same way GB is -- ICS was a large step forward with assorted loose ends, much like the early 2.x releases were. As 2.x matured into GB, it became a very sweet piece. After a few weeks of toying with KK, it seems to me KK represents the 4.x releases coming into maturity as well.

Give KK a chance -- It makes a solid daily driver.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyHoyle:
The first Android 1.0 was simply called 'Android'.

The current scheme started with 'Cupcake'. I'm not sure what happened to 'B', although I've heard that 1.1 was called 'Petit Four' internally.

Even cupcake was a huge improvement over windows mobile. Donut was...interesting. Don't recall a lot of hacking in those days.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
This is why XDA sucks nowadays. Instead of people giving him the actual answer to his statements, and why it doesn't make sense, it becomes an attempt to one up each others stupid comments.

OP, previous Android versions were memory hogs and lacked optimization. Kit-Kat has been optimized and tweaked to allow it run on devices with as little as 512mb of RAM. If someone did get a GB ROM working on the Nexus 5, it would be a performance downgrade. What you have right now is as smooth as it gets until further updates.

Not really. I purchased my Nexus S on release week. I thought it was hot stuff, until my friends purchased their Galaxy S2 about a month or so later and had dual core, just around the corner.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSLEON3:
I have seen a few camera related comments in this thread & in the forums. A good chunk of the camera optimizations did not make it into the 4.4 Kit Kat release. There was a push to the git on October 11th with a "do not merge" tag. It was ggetting to crunch time, bugs had not been ironed out, but soon enough some optimizations & cool new features will be added. 4.4 used the older camera API, instead of the newer API, which was put on hold.

You can read a little more about the new API here: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...a-new-android-camera-api-supports-camera-raw/

This particular thread quite possibly so. Yet, one has to wonder why some features which were tried, tested, and liked before did not make it into consequtive app versions. Likewise, there are some developer ideas that may be derived from this and similar threads that may be useful going forward, such as, how big a demand there would be for a ROM and Apps package orientated at the simplicity of use, practicality, off-line focus unless specifically allowed, common easily exported/imported formats, minimalistic interface and stripped social and marketing clutter.

Could you please tell me that does this rom support link2sd, if it does, please help me how to make it work.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] fabiolaec:
I had trouble myself trying to increase the internal memory of my galaxy ace s5830i, until i found this method which i believe is very simple and easey to follow and wanted to share with more people who might be facing same problem. It isnot my work, but since it is in spanish i took some time to translate it so you could use the same procedure.

******************************************************************************************************

Here a translation from a video in spanish. The author is hery reyes• I’m only translating the info, but I’ve tried it myself and worked for me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rgq4cNvTMng

Requirements:

-Make a complete backup of your rom from CWM

- Have root access

- This procedure should work with any ROM (Stock or Custom) however in some ROMS you might need to have active the “init.d” folder

- Root explorer or Root Browser (links available in the video)

- Partitioned SD card (you can do it with CWM or using Mini Tool Partition wizard.. or others..)

- Link2SD

Procedure:

Open Link2sd and allow Root Access

It will ask you about the partition to be used, select ext2 and it will ask you to reboot your phone. Please ignore and go to the main menu. From there, reboot manually your device.

Once it starts again, open Linkd2sd and the message about partition should not appear again. (If it does, choose ext3 and repeat the process, try with ext4 or fat 32 if previous do not work).

Once inside Link2sd, go to settings and take the mark off all the options. Then close Link2sd and we will not use it again from this point on. We will not need it anymore.

Go to Root Browser and allow Root Access.

Go to "/data/sdext2" and delete any folder you find inside. Go to the path "/data" and copy the 4 following folders "app", "data", "app-private", y "dalvik-cache", then go inside "/data/sdext2" and paste them. This process will take a little while so be patient.

Once the 4 folders are copied, we go inside "/data/sdext2"

y will do the same process for each of the folders. Go to “app” and long press the button, for a menu to appear, go to the last one that says –create link- then, go back to the main */data” folder and clieck on create, you will see a message saying the folder exists and if you want to combine them, click YES. Do the same for the other 3 folders. NOTE: If your sd card is less low capacity (less than 4), then better do it only with 3 folders and DON’T do it for the data folder (just leave it copied without the linking)

Then go out of the root browser and restart your device. When you go to Application manager, you will see you are using only around 60 of the total available and will be able to download many apps.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Hitesh2626:
Simple Method For Me;)

1.Make Partition of SD Card.

2.After flashing Rom with custom kernel say(Rafeal's).

3.Flash CronMod Unofficial-By Styrke.zip.

4.That's it No use of Link2sd and all .

Install as much app you want .

I have the same question..
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] thomson.aa:
Nice guide. Thanks.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] El_Dark:
why unlink!? you can take a dump of your SD-Ext and put it back like this:

1. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2 (assuming that's your ext partition)

2. Buy new, bigger SD Card

3. Partition the same size you had for your SD-Ext (1GB for example)

4. Perform: dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

5. Resize the partition!

So you don't have to work your way again to do all the work from scratch =P

It'd be slow, the newer version are much more optimized, you can test web browsing with GB vs JB.

If you want to use GB, get an original Galaxy Note and use Odin to flash it back to Gingerbread. That was one of my favorite phone and one of the last phone Samsung made with decent build quality, imo (here come the Samsung fanboys).

If home button lags for you, try a different browser.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PenguinxEnjoi:
You don't think the Galaxy S5 has good build quality? The Galaxy note was more of a square brick than a phone imo. I think GB would fly through every benchmark and be way better in real world performance than JB or Kit Kat.

First off, going back to GB is just silly. Not only will GB been slower than kit kat, it is also ugly as hell in comparison, with half the functionality, plus many google apps need android 4.0+ to get their full functionality.

Kit kat runs faster than anything else on the nexus 4, especially with ART on. If you get lags/issues, then something else went wrong, most likely in the way you upgraded. I suggest you flash the factory images through fastboot.
