Thanks for your useful contribution.

It doesn't waste battery, it saves it. It enables to use the wifi location using a lower power state of the wifi chip compared to actually turned on wifi (which is also more accurate by miles than 3g location, works indoors in clubs where there is no 3g or gps signal, and not as battery expensive as gps location).

Also, people use that option for many things, I for one use it in MANY Tasker tasks flawlessly, whether the alternative (wifi periodic toggle and polling) would rape my battery.

Wifi automatically Turned off. Built in feature?

I kept my wifi on, and the had not used it basically just left the device in the room and had run off.

When I retured, the wifi was on in the power control widget but the wifi signal indicator icon in the notifications bar was absent.

is this normal/intended?

My wifi / internet connection is weak but continuous and my device is about ten to twelve feet away from the modem / router.

Can anybody help?
[Nexus 5 General] Pizzini:
Although I have not a Nexus 5, my problem seems to be the same. I'll tell you if perhaps serve as any indication.

In my HTC EVO 3D, I've been running since the summer with CM10.2 (Android v4.3.1) with location mode set to "Network & WiFi" and "WiFi Always Scan ON". During this time the location was very accurate, location history left a fairly detailed trace. In Google Maps, was located immediately, as in Google+. If activated the GPS, even better. Summarizing, 0 issues with the location.

On January 1, I decided to upgrade to CM11 (Android v4.4.2), I set my location mode to "Battery Saving" & "Wifi Scan Always ON". During the first 10 days everything was perfect, the location history trail was so detailed as CM10.2 and battery consumption a little better. Google Maps and Google+ also positioned themselves almost immediately. Suddenly, on January 11 the location seems to stop of using WiFi networks and began guided only by the Network Cells (being rather more vague). Also when for some reason failed to position (being out of range of Network Cell), the phone started to not enter Deep Sleep Mode and the battery started to discharge at high speed. Google Maps, Google+, 1Weather ... were unable to obtain the current location or showed the last known location of hours before. Rebooting the phone sometimes temporarily solved the problem, but sometimes not.

I tried to change the placement options; abroad, with "high accuracy" mode, the location worked well, but indoors the GPS was not able to find satellites (logical) and still the same problems. I enabled and I disabled the location, nothing. Factory reset, no change.

To rule out a hardware failure, I returned CM10.2. Everything about the location worked smoothly... Return to CM11, again the same problems.

In short, my impression is that this is a software bug, as in versions prior to v4.4 Android location "Network & WiFi" + "Scan Always ON WiFi" works correctly. Moreover, not only occurs in the Nexus 5.

I have marked with a star your ticket.

I'll keept testing.
[Nexus 5 General] davionlip:
I get this problem when I use tether with WiFi always scan enabled.

When I disabled tethering, I have to manually enable WiFi to fix the location reporting issue.

With WiFi scanning not enabled, I do not get this problem
[Nexus 5 General] goru4ka:
I think I have similar problem and I really hope smbody can help me.

On my stock nexus 5(4.4.2) wifi location don't work in google maps and ingress, when I turn it on instead of gps location.

But in other apps wifi location works( yandex.maps, 4square)

Only reboot helps
[Nexus 5 General] Pizzini:
Hello again.

I just updated Google Maps to version 7.6.0 and Google Play Services to version 4.2.39 and all the problems I had with the location are gone, everything is okay again, as it did in CM10.2. So it looks like it is confirmed that it was a software bug.
[Nexus 5 General] WarER4X:
Sorry, I know this post is quite stale, but I came across it doing a search about this very same problem I've seen on my LG G4 (stock). I have a Tasker task that uses WiFi near state and I use the "Allow Wifi scanning..." option in my Advanced WiFi settings. Whenever I would use WiFi tethering and then later turn it off, I noticed my Tasker task would not detect the WiFi networks it was supposed to. If I turn the "Allow scanning" option of and back on, or just turn on WiFi altogether, it starts working again.

So, after more than a year and a half, and on a newer version of Android and it still doesn't work right. Who knows; maybe it's a Tasker problem.

Dear Developers,

Can anyone create a mod for Stock ROM of Micromax Canvas 2 Plus so that screen viewing quality can be increased.

I am satisfied with everything else in the mobile except screen depth => 196 PPI

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] WaveII_Jil:
Not Possible

I don't think any modification in software will improve your screen viewing quality.

Screen viewing quality, if I'm correct, depends upon the manufacturer's use of pixels. Since screen size and pixel count can't be changed with software modifications, I think you'll have to live with your current screen quality.

Anyone know of a way to enable Battery Saver mode via NFC? I know it's easy enough to go into the settings and enable it manually but just thought it would be cool if I could just tap an NFC tag on my nightstand before I go to sleep.
[Moto X Q&A] snoking:
As explained on your AC thread you need to read up on battery saver, as it does not do what you think it does. Enabling battery saver in settings turns on savings from 15-0% by shutting down background data. Has no effect above 15%. Chris

You're right. I read in one article that you could enable it at higher percentages but that was wrong. My bad.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jaaystott:
Just thought I would make a thread comparing and compiling what people like and dislike about the latest 4.4 update for the Note 3. Personally I've found the update to be much of the same, however Samsung has made some annoying decisions too.

Likes

- Unlocking the phone is SO much faster!

- The new white icons look much better than Samsung's usual green ones.

- The new Notification shade looks more in-touch with modern Android styling.

- General speed all over.

Dislikes

- One feature of KitKat was Native Emoji support Samsung's default messaging app converts to MMS when you insert an Emoji.

- Samsung has included the most UGLY emoji's ever! These were already native on the Note 3 but I thought they would have switched to Google's.

- The fact Samsung even included a messaging app; why not just switch to Hangouts.

- The camera seems to be a bit laggier after the update, processing in dark images takes longer and is prone to blurriness.

- If you set a password or numeric code, when you unlock your phone unlike an iPhone or HTC you do not have to swipe. It goes straight to the input.

- General Samsung bloatiness and lag.

Overall I feel like KitKat has "refreshed" the Note somewhat, but I think that KitKat is not a major upgrade for the Note 3 at all, and it feels more like a .x upgrade. After using the Nexus 5, it really doesn't feel like the Note 3 is using 4.4, it feels much the same as 4.3.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Flyer.michael:
Dislikes:

- Not using ART (Android Runtime)

Wasn't that the biggest innovation in KitKat?

- Again Samsungs country cluttering

On the new polish ROM learning hub, Music and Bookstore not working/downloadable in Germany

- AppOPS no native support

- SDcards getting useless more and more... wonder when we will not be able to move anything there - well we still can pay 100bucks per 16Gb more storage on phone
[Galaxy Note 3 General] irish-sid:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Flyer.michael:

ART not implemented
[Galaxy Note 3 General] klau1:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
ART is still technically in beta form. Samsung will never add a beta to their final rls. If something messes up it makes them look terrible (more so than they already do..)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Andrewtst:
What I Like:

Awesome speed and smooth.

Better Audio quality.

Finally no more ugly green icon at status bar.

Much better camera output quality especially at night shoot. Sharp and clear.

Love the new lockscreen especially the music playback button.

What I Dislike:

S View chipset detection, now only original Samsung will work, not working for counterfeit include those branded like Spigen.

Disable of ART, I know it is beta but at least let use tryout.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BC01:
Is there a chance to get the stock-emojis (google) back?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jaaystott:
Though I see your point, I felt this is a general discussion amongst the Note 3 community. I'm inviting people to discuss what they like and do not like about the 4.4 update, though I understand the title alienates this.

'Tis a shame, though it's most likely down to the beta.

I hope, the ones Samsung include are so ugly!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deddoa:
was icallstr

Like

- Better colour when using the multimedia dock

- less buggy when detecting keyboard and mouse plugged into the dock

Dislike

- Non working un-official S-View covers (forcing rip off price official ones or nothing)

- Lower gaming performance (or so the Epic Citadel benchmark shows with lower phone performance, and locked at 30fps on HDMI)

- Sort of a like in that there is now landscape support for the non Multimedia Dock screen, but a major dislike that it's still the poor chopped off bottom row implementation that 3rd parties offer, the official version should at least have a layout that fits all the icons on the screen.

- Hit and miss SD card support, I find it either works really slow when trying to access it or seemingly doesn't work at all.

I can see this firmware being followed by a stream of bug fixes as it feels very beta, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the buggy beta accidentally released.

Issue on 4.4.2 KitKat ROM - What I dislike now!

Flashing kitkat now will make the external SD almost useless. You will not be able write in certain process, example moving/copying data via third party explorer, multiple photos select for deletion at QuickPic, backup using Titanium Backup. No issue save camera photos on it or play games store at SD card. This only can be fix if you root your phone and change platform.xml and once root it is confirm 100% trip the Knox. Solution for fixing this issue [FIX][LEAKED 4.4]External Sdcard Mount Perms fix - xda-developers

KitKat ROM is detecting S View Cover Chipset, only Genuine Samsung S View Flipcover will working now. All counterfeit or any branded casing including Spigen SlimArmor View will stop the S View function once update to KitKat ROM.

There will be no downgrading back to 4.3 roms anymore after update to 4.4 KitKat ROM.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jaaystott:
Google is slowly starting to become a joke. Deciding to only update the Nexus 5 to the new "Google Experience" launcher has majorly fragmented the feel of Android through & through. I'm also starting to find that Google apps used to be robust, they are now starting to show lack of innovation and also some bugs. Take Hangouts for example, it is not a nice application to use on the Note 3 at all.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] onslaught86:
Man, I have no idea why people would want something as abysmal & crippled as the Google Experience Launcher on this hardware, nor Hangouts instead of Samsung's messaging app - but that's the beauty of choice on this platform.

I'm extremely impressed with all the small tweaks in this update, not to mention the huge speed boost. If it wasn't for the issues with userspace apps writing to the SD, I'd have no problems at all - this feels like the software the Note should have shipped with.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Estoroth:
That seems to be a general Kitkat "Feature". They have those issues as well: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...cial-android-4-4-kit-kat-rolling-out-now.html

And the official Kitkat APIs hint at different permissions, so perhaps the Apps just need an update: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html

[Galaxy Note 3 General] charly-whiskey:
Rooted 4.4.2 and most problems solved!

So, I decided to trip Knox since there is no loss of general Samsung warranty but only "Knox warranty void", which means there is no security guaranteed for the container any more. And I am from Germany, so we have laws.

Anyhow, now rooted, I solved the SD-Card-Problem with the fix some posts above, Titanium Backup works flawless, Solid Explorer works perfect, copy, paste, move, no prob at all.

With the galaxy gear I was disappointed on how Samsung forced me to use the Samsung music app. Now I deleted the app with Titanium, and the Gear immediately works with Player Pro which I prefer.

The only bug I found is the Spigen Slim Armor view case which does no longer work - so I detached the top cover and use it without, waiting for a solution from Spigen or Samsung.

Speed, optics, everything looks perfect now. So all these advantages were worth the rooted Kitkat.

Sure, the Touchwiz i agree because we can't change it. But the SMS app? I haven't install any third party SMS app, and i always do, but with the one provided by Samusng i'm happy. Sure some prefer Hangouts? That's ok, i understand that, but they can CHOSE to use any app. Don't see the problem there. When we don't have that option, it's a pain, but that's not the case here.

Someone said, "huge speed improvements". What? I see zero speed improvements, zero! It's fast? Yes! But faster then 4.3 MK2? No. Oh, and when i click the Home Button to go to the home screen it's much much slower. Before, after disabling the home button to open S Voice, it was INSTANT, but now it has a big delay. (Yes, i have disable S Voice in the home button and i have the animations speed settings to 0.5x and 0 in the development settings). If someone know how to speed this up, please tell.

I usually stream movies from the Note 3 to my computer, with the All Share option embedded in the native video player, and now the video it's slower. I don't know if it's only my impression, or what, but i'm almost 100% sure the frame rate has dropped significantly. The video is not smooth enough like it was before.

If i could, just because of the streaming issue, i would go back to 4.3 MK2. But i guess i can't. Just have to wait for bug fixes. I knew the risks and i'm fine with that.

With MJ7 it might, and i don't doubt you, but compared to the latest MK2? Personally I don't see it. Unfortunately I don't have any friend with a Note 3 to compare.

I have some animations turned off in the developer options, and it is/was always very fast. I remember complaining about some performance issues in the earlier firmwares but I'm not sure now which versions they were.

Anyway, not important. If it's faster for you, that's awesome. Im happy too with the speed, i just don't see that much of an improvement from MK2.
