It's Saturday afternoon here in New Zealand. Finally not on call for SAR, so I'm sitting in the sun having a Corona on my deck. Boom!!

Then I gots ta thinking...

With Kitkat 4.4 on its way thanks to freeXperia dev's [MENTION=359497]FXP[/MENTION], [MENTION=279964]kali[/MENTION]... what are you looking forward to most? I'm really buzzing about seeing RAW images coming. Yeah I know... simple things eh! But seriously this means we can finally see if its a hardware issue with the Ultra's camera. I'm so hoping its not, and the images will look tasty!!

So what are you looking forward to most with the 4.4 CM11 release coming very very soon...??

But also what are you doing when you reply to this... I'm just interested... anyone else having a beer on their deck??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] boterkaaseneieren:
This is not Facebook
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Don't know what to look for in kitkat, other than RAW photos.

And no not sitting on the deck having a beer, I was out at one of the predator fenced 'islands' doing some lizard survey work getting rained on - you know that stuff that falls on this side of the Kaimai range and not on your side.

About to have a cold one now though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
It is now. pissing down.... good to see someone has a sense of humor in XDA though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
You guys do realize that a RAW image from this camera would look horrible ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
couldn't look any worse than stock camera on auto

there will still be atleast some noise in poor light and in the blacks, but at least it wont be all soft ans fuzzy looking
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
I don't wanna disturb the party but RAW is only partially implemented so chance we'll get it is very small...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I know, but we can live in hope for 4.4.1 or .2

[MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION] have you seen better battery life in the Z1 with 4.4?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
RAW is always horrible. However being able to manipulate white balance, colour saturation, contrast, and sharpness ourselves, and not leaving it to Sony will always look better. or at least the way we want.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
And the official from Sony in Q1 | 2014, probably wont exist anyway...

surely CM11 would offer that for the Z1/U?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krabappel2548:
I don't think RAW will come before next android version when Google finished implementation :)

If the Note3 was bought from a carrier it might be carrier-locked and you will need to buy an unlock code.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funtoosh:
It cannot be carrier locked as HK law does not allows selling carrier locked handsets

I think I had this issue once when my carrier mistakenly locked my sim. Did you activate the sim card? As long as it's not activated here in my place (like when you buy a prepaid card at a supermarket and haven't registered your name via internet), it will not connect to the network.

I installed AEButton Plus and I lost the function of the OK button. Uninstalled and it works fine.

Not sure if this helps, but I think it maybe due to a recently installed app.

[HTC One S] Tarsa:
So here's what's happening. When I boot into TWRP recovery and go to mount the storage it says that the internal SD card is only 48 MB. but when I boot up into the ROM (Maximus HD 10.0 for HTC One S) and mount it to the computer, it's the usual amount that I had in the first place. I tried multiple ROMs and to flash these ROMs each time I must run a stock RUU for the regular amount of storage in recovery. Otherwise when I flash a ROM it goes to 48 MB in recovery. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello developers, I am considering to root my new Xperia Z1, but I don't want to unlock the boot loader. I was just wondering if I use vroot to root the Z1 but without unlocking the boot loader, will it avoid my Sony original warranty? Thanks. My firmware is 14.1.G.2.257
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahki767:
Well it may or it may not. You can just easily reflash stock firmware and root will be gone anyway. Done it once and they never suspected anything :p
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
In almost all cases you can restore your phone back to it's original state so they will never know, in the case when your phone is so bad that you can't restore it back with PC Companion or flashtool then you are still good because the service place will not be able to tell either, because your phone will not be booting at all ;).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MetroGnome711:
So I really want to flash some roms and play around with my s-off, rooted One. But I've tried a few in the past, and after a restore from titanium, I still have to spend the next hour or so linking all my contacts again.

Is there anyway to have this phone remember who is who? I really only use my Google contacts, but I'd love for the contact to show twitter, Facebook etc. Without having to manually link every flash.

Is that possible? Thanks in advance!

There are many ROMS and ways of customizing your phone. Please take time out to read and capitalize on all the features available to your needs.

With the root De La Vega I can not flash a custom rom? Is this correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mad_Scientist_565:
i dont know why you wouldnt be able to.. root is root.. but if your just going to rom it, your going to set the knox flag anyway, so you might as well just use cf-autoroot since its got better support right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
Like mad_scientist said root is root. The whole deal with Root De la Vega is not tripping Knox. If you plan on flashing a Rom/theme/mods. Then there's no need to worry about the Knox flag. Rooting this phone is super easy no matter how you do it.. that being said use cf auto root

my some friend flash official ROM back to LJ1 after they OTA update to mk4 ，they can't do OTA again ，some of them do it and the device was bricked .

the bricked device came only into ODIN mode , ever can't into recovery mode .

finally they unbricked the device and not dare to OTA again .

i think ,it's because of the KNBOX .

you. can take a try ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bonebeatz1234:
You can go back I did plus get rid of knox bootloader. I was stuck and everytime I tried the knox bootloader was saying unsupported and wouldn't allow me to downgrade. So what I did was flash twrp in odin and then downloaded a stock mc rom with count reset and stock bootloader rooted or non there was two versions and it put me back bone stock with no knox anything. That's the only way I know that worked for me I tried allot of different ways that didnt work. With knox it block everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nu10lkthm:
I appreciate all the replies! One more question, im also rooted and I've removed all the knox software but besides that im completely stock. Will that make a difference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bonebeatz1234:
If your on knox bootloader it won't let you downgrade with odin . Go to download mode and see if you see knox stuff at the top of you do try downgrading my way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nu10lkthm:
Yes i have the 4.3 bootloader as well, everything is 4.3, I updated to 4.3 from the 4.3 update zip via the stock 4.1.2 recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nu10lkthm:
In download mode it says system status: custom kxox warranty void: 0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bonebeatz1234:
Download lorjay rom it has the older bootloader and not that knox crap he took it out plus he got wifi tether hack working and there's gonna be a update with note 3 stuff soon man can't wait runs like butter already
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Ok let me make sure I'm understanding this. If I want to go back to mc2 I can use the back to stock with counter reset mc2 zip right? And if I'm correct flashing the custom recovery to do so will set off Knox correct? But once the zip flashes I'll be back on mc2 bootloader without Knox I'm assuming. Now let's say I decide to update again, will the 4.3 Knox bootloader show 0 or be marked as 1 like it's tampered?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] billard412:
Re upgrading to the 4.3 upgrade will cause the knox status in download mode to reappear and yes it will still be tripped. But you could revert to MC2 and then use lorjay589s thread to upgrade to the new 4.3 with the MC2 bootloader so everything will appear untampered
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Got you, thanks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] seewhyphotos:
Okay.. I had upgraded to the 4.3 Deodexed and Rooted KNOX removed ROM by lorjay589. Great rom, but I was missing some of the things that I use (Wallet, NFC, "That Bump Thing", etc...)

I wanted to resort to MC2 Stock and reset the counter and then take the OTA, and just deal with it from that point.

When I did the normal boot into recovery, wipe completely, and then flash the MC2 Stock with Counter Reset ROM (As I have done multiple times in the past), along with the root.zip to maintain root temporarily to restore my app data, I ended up stuck on the "U Were Scared we're almost done) for ever. I waited and waited and waited. The options in TWRP were available and the log shows "Updating partition details" and it never moved.

I decided (after 30 minutes) to pull the battery (Yea, I know, not smart), and attempt the clean/flash again.

Now, I'm sitting with no OS and each time I reboot the phone into recovery, I go right back to the "U Were Scared" TWRP screen, and my SD Card is not available any longer.

Any help would be awesome! Thanks

my X2 is using stock theme & features..

but it is responding really slow even while browsing drawer and also during file exploring..

gaming is also not going as good as this kind of hardware can deliver..

its not acting like having 2GB RAM..is this because of the user interface..

i used N1, that was far faster than this..

i think X2 user expected more performance from a 24000k phone..

anyway, is there any solution without rooting..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profman03:
Soooo, I recently purchased a Note 3 and I'm MOSTLY happy with a lot of things about the phone... BUT the idea that we may never get an unlocked bootloader (SOOO annoying, had a Thunderbolt for the last two years and was really looking forward to getting CM again!) is making me question whether I should stay with my new phone or not. Looking for a little advice on keeping the N3 or getting something new:

Pros:

1.) The hardware is incredible. Coming from the Thunderbolt, this thing is insanely fast.

2.) The screen is awesome. The size doesn't bother me at all.

3.) Battery life!

Cons:

1.) Touch Wiz. I used to own an original Droid and LOVED the OS, eventually switching to CM for added features. Most of the stuff I dislike I can turn off, but there's a lot of bloat and dumb ideas here. (Why Samsung makes me turn up the volume and say I won't explode my head every time I plug in headphones is insane... I'M PLUGGING IT INTO MY CAR AND I'M NO LONGER 12 YEARS OLD.)

2.) The screen isn't big enough to use as an e-reader. This is not a huge issue, I had just HOPED it would be... BUT, since that's the case, I could easily switch to another phone and get a tablet too and not feel bad about it.

3.) Gaming... again, I had hoped the N3 would be able to provide gaming and e-reader and phone all into one device, but Android games are really just too shallow for me.

Soooo, what it really comes down to is if you guys think this device will be unlocked down the line OR if you think I could adjust it to make a more stock android/ AOSP/ CM type experience. If I was able to put CM on here I would be sitting pretty. I'm just worried it will turn into a situation like the Thunderbolt with limited updates and no real way to get new software...

If I did get a new phone, what would you guys recommend? I'm looking at the HTC One, Nexus 5, LG G2 and Galaxy S4. I haven't yet looked into which ones have fully unlocked bootloaders with decent roms, but that would be a deal breaker.

Thanks for any and all help, you guys are awesome!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
It sounds (to me) like you should get rid of it and get a phone that you can put CM on. I, personally, have never been a fan of CM. I like miui (haven't had that working 100% on a phone for probably 3 years now though) or heavily modded stock roms more. But as far as speed and battery life. This thing is awesome. Big screen is a + for me too. And it's got more features than I care to use or learn which is also a + I guess.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchief298:
Ultimately it all comes down to what you want. I mean, if it doesn't live up to your standards why keep it? It's your money to spend how you see fit. Buy something you feel will be worthwhile. If you're looking for the original Android experience the Moto X is a sweet phone and easy to carry and use.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profman03:
Should I be able to sell this one for a decent price? It's basically brand new, always had a case and screen protector...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willjohnson:
Just a little FYI, i came to the note 3 from a razr maxx, also a locked bootloader using safestrap. It is an officially supported device in the CM build. Sure an unlocked bootloader is great no matter the phone, but a really solid phone can sometimes trump that one little perk. Just a different opinion for your process. Good Luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] changt34x:
This thread will probably be closed and moved to the sticky, but here are my 2 cents.

Out of all the cons presented, the only one that can be fixed well is the "TouchWiz" problem. The other phones either have smaller displays and Android's game market isn't even close to that of iOS, and doesn't seem like it will be soon. I think the LG G2 is the best choice for you (if you are fine without removable battery and microSD). Same Snapdragon 800, similar large 1080p display (I personally prefer it more because it is nearly impossible to get an AMOLED without black marks or unevenness), and also a large battery. Check out their development, it has a lot of exciting stuff going on and CM11 is right now a WIP. I'd say it still has a lot of potential to grow further, and its already a great community now.

Personally, I wasn't that overwhelmed by the N3 (probably because I had the N2). Looking back, I would have taken the G2 (and the $100 savings at the time) but I was an unlimited glitch purchase and don't have much time to customize my phone anymore. I flashed like mad on DInc, GNex, and Note 2, but right now having a device that isn't wiped every week is what I need. In fact, I finished a whole month on the Android 4.0+ Data Usage page for the first time ever.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profman03:
Yeah, didn't know if this was the right place to post this, so then I copied and pasted it into the Q&A forum... and was going to delete this... now I can't figure out how to delete either thread! Ah well, if there's a major issue, I'm sure a mod will just close it.

Thanks for the input. I'm certainly not sold on getting rid of my N3, just looking into it. As stated, there are a lot of things I love about this phone, and if I could make it better that would be great.

Yeah, the "cons" really aren't cons, but things that I had HOPED the phone would be able to do, but can't. This just makes me feel OK about switching to a smaller phone and then getting a tablet as well.
