[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
Some weeks ago a reliable member on one of these forums had a conversation with Samsung. The outcome was that there was a lot of issues with the release of 4.3 on other devices, and that they were waiting for those to be resolved before releasing it for the S4 mini.

I have heard no rumours for the S4 mini about 4.4. Anyone?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThuGzta:
There is also a rumor that S3 mini will get the 4.4 update. Now if that is getting it, we should also. But again these are just rumors that humor me =D.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] robsch:
My Wife just got me a Galaxy Gear to play with. I am waiting for the S5 before I upgrade. I have a 4.4 rom (CM), though its not TW so I can't use a bulk of the functions in my Galaxy Gear. I am not going to root/rom my watch yet, but want to keep Kit Kat. I did some searching and can't seem to find any TW Kit Kat roms, and was wondering if anyone can suggest one, or let me know that they aren't any.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
There aren't any. The most recent official OTA release for the S3 was 4.3.1 Jellybean. No idea if the Verizon S3 will even get 4.4 KitKat officially.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
Isn't 4.3 tw compatible with pebble?

Yes it Is.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] zim_zimmer:
I think I have an issue with my battery, or possibly phone!

On my Galaxy S3 LTE I've been experiencing very poor battery life recently and have tried a few suggestions to improve it.

I have kept the screen brightness on -5, I have applied Power Saving Mode, disabled 4G mode (not using currently anyway) and installed a battery saver app (Internet Commander). However none of these seems to have made a difference!

As an example, here is my phone at 5.36 this morning on 71%. That is after I took it off a full charge at 11.30pm when I went to bed. So in Standby it had used 29% in around 6 hours. Then it just got worse through the day...

At 3.23 I had just 8% battery left!! And that was after a top up charge of about 20% around 11am!! I had listened to half a dozen songs on the phone but thats it!

As you can see I do have data enabled, and just the standard apps installed (WhatsApp, KIK messenger, facebook, BBC Weather, Sky News, etc...). I also only have 1 widget on my home screens which is the BBC Weather app widget.

Could it just be a faulty battery? Would a faulty battery cause this kind of rapid decrease?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] cornelha:
I blame those battery intensive apps showing in your statusbar. Your battery is being used by Cell Standby, this is your Data connection being used to receive notifications. The fact that you have high Google Services percentages also points to this since it uses your wifi and radio to get your location periodically when set to do so. Start by disabling feature under location settings. Next, have a look at Android Device Manager in Google Settings, disable the location setting if you do not intend to use it. Anything that uses your Data, will cause more drain, especially on higher bands like HSPA.

Again, Whatsapp and Kik will constantly receive push notifications and sync, this also adds to your battery drain.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] zim_zimmer:
Thank you, I will try your suggestions :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] mistr1959:
Hi, i had the Problem with huge batterx drain too. The battery didn't last much longer than 8 hours. My phone didn't go to deep sleep mode

I then installed wake lock detector and One Power Guard. In One Power Guard i aktivatet AI mode and now it looks like this:

I rooted my at&t note 3 with kingoroot. My question is: if I freeze tethering provisions in titanium backup can they (at&t) detect I'm using my tethering?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
There are SOOO many ways a carrier can tell what and where your data is going. Freezing the tethering provisions will enable the tethering feature on your phone. It will not hide your data from your carrier.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cityboy:
I have unlimited data on my attention account so as long as they can't see I'm tethering I'm good.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
If your provider see more traffic going through your connection than the phone alone would normally generate then they will assume you are tethering and change your plan and bill you accordingly.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cityboy:
I have hit 16 gigs before. With out root.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
Like we said, IF your provider checks. Many are cracking down on data leeches as it is costing them bandwidth that is not being paid for. AT&T comes to mind as they have even announced they will start doing it as of last month or so.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aiowire:
Well first I am a Noob here even though I have came to XDA for answers to all my problems.

but i cant find one for this!

i have a galaxy note 2 for verizon and it is rooted through kingo and when I use Odin on my computer to flash CWM or some kind of recovery for it, it fails at the end. I have no idea why.

if i left something out my bad just ask.

Thanks in advance!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
Does ODIN give you a message? You can just download the necessary APP from the play store for whichever recovery you are using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wtoj34:
Don't think Kongo unlocks bootloader. The i605 cones locked so you need a tool like casual to unlock bootloader to install a recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Odin is for flashing firmware (stock rom images & modems), not CWM or custom roms. CWM is a custom recovery, which is different than a custom rom. You use a custom recovery to flash a custom rom.

I am not trying to be an ass, but please do more research before flashing anything else. You can seriously fubar your device by flashing the wrong file or using Odin incorrectly.

Look at your phone's android version. If you are on 4.3, you cannot flash CWM because the bootloader is locked. The bootloader must be unlocked before you can install CWM. If you are on 4.3, you can root but that is all. No custom roms.

If you have an older version of android, you can unlock the bootloader with CASUAL, then install CWM, then flash custom roms/mods. But you must know what you are working with before going flash happy. Otherwise, you may end up with an expensive paperweight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aiowire:
i used CASUAL and it failed and i did research and some said that you can flash CMW through odin which i thought was weird thats why i posted this. i am running 4.1.2 and for some reason everything i tries fails.

Update 2/11/14: This thread has evolved into a very informative thread! Please take the time to read the many posts in this thread, there is alot of q&a, troubleshooting and general good info. Thanks!!

My wife just checked her stock VZW HTC One, and her download has started. 617 MB in size! Go get your update now for those who are stock. I suggest waiting for our resident developers to do their magic on a custom stock ROM and more.

Note **I had to manually check for an update, and then initiate the download.**

Update: after the OTA downloaded, it did not prompt to install the update. Doing a complete shutdown, then starting the phone normally brings up the prompt for the update. Have fun!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] arizonaomnia:
What happens if I allow the OTA s-off with a custom recovery?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xRogerxC:
If you're running a custom recovery, as far as I know the OTA won't run because of the custom recovery. I would HIGHLY advise waiting for a Stock rooted ROM (such as Santod's when it is available), or one of the custom ROM's once they are updated to include the OTA.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Leraeniesh:
Got any before and after shots of the camera improvements with the new OTA?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Banished Angel:
Just to clarify you can still update via OTA even if you are s-off if you are running the stock ROM and stock recovery. S-off on its own doesn't prevent updates. However, a custom recovery does.

Is it normal for the firmware download to run at 3G speeds? Device Management is running and even though I am connected to WiFi, it is extremely slow and my 3G icon is visible. Also, while I was downloading, I drove home and never went to 4G, which is unusual.

My phone is S-off; rooted; with TWRP Recovery. I just received the notification for the Kit Kat update. I didn't download it, and don't know if it would install - but, I'm reasonably sure it would.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
..... NO it will not. updates only work on the stock recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xRogerxC:
May just be due to the number of people downloading at this point. What ROM are you using (Stock I assume, as well as stock recovery)?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jvcjbl:
Both the Wife and I are downloading it now. Hopefully this fixes her dead notification light issue. The light still works it just notify her of new messages, e-mails, missed calls, etc. I am sure hard reset would fix the issue, just trying to avoid having to spend a couple hours buried in her phone restoring it to how it was.

It figures they push the update right after I flash a custom recovery :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
It might try to mask the camera issue, but since it's a hardware problem it won't actually fix it completely.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Darkmx2000:
Lol isn't it funny how both CDMA carriers beat both GSM carriers to the update you know there some people out there butt hurt because of this ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xRogerxC:
Lol! I'm sure you're right! Verizon had to do something though, and I'm sure HTC may have pushed Verizon on getting this update out asap!

Yeah tell me about it, I have never seen Sprint and Verizon both out do AT&T on an update for a device that is carried on multiple devices.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mgdking:
So is there a way to have a different lockscreen wallpaper then what the homescreen is? I could do that before the update but not now. Iam running stock.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
No, you can't change your lock screen style in Sense 5.5. Now you can swipe left and add widgets. There are roms available that allow you to change the lock screen wallpaper though I believe.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] masseurca:
Yeah it sucks, can't have a lock screen widget anymore visible on the lock screen. Any you add are hidden and you have to swipe right to left to bring them to the screen to see them. Basically making them worthless.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Yea, that swipe is a killer :p. I actually kind of like it more...you aren't limited to one widget.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Ovy13:
So... does this OTA mess with our S-Off, anything we need to keep an eye out? Or can I just install the update and then flash a custom recovery and resume my rooted ways?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mrlinch:
So I took the update, and yeah, not a whole lot of improvements.

But the big thing is is it broke my phone app?? On my lock screen and on my launcher screen (Nova launcher) the phone app is and was respectively broken and showing the green android man.

Fixing the launcher shortcut was easy. How do I fix the lock screen shortcut?!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
You need to go to the sense launcher. Place the new phone icon in the bottom bar and then it should work. Even though you use nova the lock screen apps are dictated by sense

Ah. Awesome, there it is! Thanks!

Well I went ahead and updated, and of course, I have an immediate regret: I've gotten so very accustomed to the luxury of no lock screen, my phone ready to go just by turning the screen on, but now the pull to unlock is back. I can't find a way to turn it off again. Can anyone help out? Did they move the option or is it just gone?

Thanks for the reply. So you cant change the lockscreen wallpaper with sense 5.5? So if we didnt have sense could we do it with just kit kat stock?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] djerk:
Thank, im downloading stock recoery now, is there a way to return to stock recovery without flashing new image, I had cwm for a while and every time I'd reboot id lose root and be back to stock so I think the stock is on my device somewhere
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Don't quote me on this but I think you can in the ViperOne Rom...if you don't want s-off and root you could try Holo locker maybe. I've never used it. Just Google "top android lock screens" or something similar and you'll find something you like.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dbornack:
The things I've hated about the 4.3 and 4.4 updates.. they don't incorporate the features that have been around since 4.1 or 4.2.. like pulling down on a notification and having an action menu. Such as a text, and being able to reply right there. That's a stock Android feature that's been around for awhile now. UGH.

4.3 introduced TRIM. I started with 4.2, upgraded OTA 4.3, and want to know if I need to factory reset to take advantage of the speed benefits of TRIM before/after I do the 4.4 OTA or will updating the OS automatically refresh things?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Trim should work regardless of whether you do a factory reset or not.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hytekjosh:
This article says: "If you’re using a device that was running a down-level version of Android and you upgraded it to version 4.3, you probably want to do a factory reset to regain your lost speed, though you shouldn’t notice any further slowdowns if you opt not to start from scratch."

Source: http://pocketnow.com/2013/08/06/android-trim-support

The lost speed is probably due to having a 600MB file in the system cache

That has nothing to do with updating to 4.3
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Well since fstrim was in 4.3 and is in 4.4.2 I doubt you need to do a factory reset before flashing to 4.4.2 unless you just want to.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hytekjosh:
The article is suggesting doing a factory reset in 4.3 after updating to 4.3. I'm looking for a definitive/technical answer, not a guess.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Flash it and find out then. This isn't updating from 4.3. It's 4.3 to 4.4.2. So what does it have to do with 4.4.2?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hytekjosh:
I simply want to know if its worthwhile factory resetting my phone after the upgrade or not. I decided to switch to a replacement phone due to camera issues so its a moot point now but may help others decide if they should reset their phone. Like pre-TRIM devices, my One slowed down over time. Updating to 4.3 I did not really see it get faster but it hasn't gotten slower.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gadgetrants:
I think the subtitle "Skip lock screen and go directly to Security screen," means the feature only works with a lock (e.g., pin, pattern, etc.) in effect. Otherwise checking the option with "none" leaves the pull-up in place.

-Matt
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Checking bypass on lock makes it skip the lock altogether.I just tested it to make sure too.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gadgetrants:
Hmm, can't get mine to pull that off -- can you describe your settings? Mine:

- Security -> none

- Bypass lock screen on wake -> selected

When I turn on the display I get the lock screen. :(

-Matt
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Mine were exactly the same as that and the lock doesn't appear anymore.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gadgetrants:
OK, thanks...I'll reboot and give it another try!

EDIT: no luck. :( Oh well, I'll keep poking around. Perhaps it's because I have a lockscreen widget?

-Matt
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xpack90:
Yeah mine skips altogether but after installing the ota I did a factory reset
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] intense98rt:
It use to be under personalize to customize the lock screen. You were able to select 'no lock screen'. It doesn't look like they left that feature in.:(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gadgetrants:
Argh, would have hoped to avoid that -- only been using the phone since November (totally stock). Well, I don't have a ton of apps so maybe it's for the best.

Sounds like at least some owners are able to completely skip the lock screen -- my intuition is the feature is "still there" but that the underlying logic of how it's programmed has gotten a little more subtle.

BTW, I read through this (thankfully SHORT!) thread today, and don't remember anyone mentioning: SO HTC DIDN'T ENABLE ART!??!! That kinda sucks. Well, on the bright side: did anyone notice now we can modify Quick Settings? Definitely a silver lining there.

-Matt
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muniz_ri:
The ART files are in the OTA zip so you should have the ability to enable ART runtime through the Developer Menu. Have you tried that?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gadgetrants:
Interesting! Absolutely no sign of ART in the Developer settings. Beginning to think there's a factory reset in my future.

EDIT: noticing a bunch of minor glitches, including a calender widget on my lockscreen that I can't edit/remove -- RESET in progress!

EDIT2: OK, got rid of calendar notification on lockscreen (under "Security")

EDIT3: sorry guys, but still seeing a lockscreen (OK, technically it's a "none" swipe-up screen) even with settings described above ^^^. Also, no sign of ART in Developer settings. I see it as clear as day on my wife's Moto X and N7 -- if it's on the One it's well-hidden. No biggie -- was just curious to try it.

-Matt
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Pretty sure HTC said they weren't going to do art this time around
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gadgetrants:
Can't find any links that confirm that -- however there are several new users scratching their head like me.

On the other hand, there is some indication that the GPE got it:

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_gpe_getting_android_44_kitkat-news-7251.php

If that's so, then I suspect it's a Verizon issue, i.e., notice our OTA was twice as large as the GPE's.

-Matt
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
It's just that Sense is compatible with ART yet. It shouldn't matter what carrier you're on. I don't believe the GPE edition run Sense.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gadgetrants:
Excellent logic, I'm sure you're right!

-Matt
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Actually...having played with it on my n7 that's probably not far off from the truth. I had a lot of apps act funky on art.

Making sense play nice is probably going to wait until art is default.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muniz_ri:
I saw this in the Sprint HTC One forum. According to them you can able ART: Go to system/customize/ACC/default xml and toward the bottom you can enable ART there.

You will need root and es file explorer and will then need to edit the xml file.
