We have some great news for the Galaxy users in the USA! Samsung has announced the list of devices which will be updated with Android 4.4 KitKat. More than 15 Galaxy smartphones, phablets and tablets will get the KitKat treatment over the upcoming months.

Samsung is developing Android 4.4 KitKat firmware for these smartphones:

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Samsung Galaxy Note II

Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active

Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom

Samsung Galaxy S III

Samsung Galaxy S III mini

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3

Samsung Galaxy Light

And here is the list of the KitKat compatible slates:

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

The Android 4.4 KitKat firmware will speed up your Galaxy device, bring you new Hangout app which you can make the default messaging app, new location menu, other UI enhancements (new icons, monochrome status icons, etc.). We hope the Galaxy tablets will also get the new Magazine UX, which we really liked.

The availability and launch date will vary by carrier, but eventually all those devices will end up with update notifications. The official roll out starts today, probably with the most recent devices, and the entire update process should take a few months to complete.

Hello everybody,

Please help me with this question.

I tried remove defaults in maps and also disabled it but there is no way i can set IGO as default navigation.

Time ago in S1 it worked perfectly as default navigation.

I cant set it with external software too.

Please help.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyzela:
Hi guys,

Anyone can help here?

If i need to root the device to set it, i will because the Maps is very slow and un accurate program.

Also it requires too much permissions and drains the batery.

Please help.

Sorry, as far as I know, is not possible.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyzela:
There must be a way to do it in root mode!

My guessing is that google tries to remove all type of offline navigation because they don't have profit of this but still there must be a way to overcome this limitation.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kyoon19:
New Kindle HDX 8.9 user here...I am loving this tablet but I don't know why my Amazon instant videos(streaming) are being removed from home screen carousel randomly. I thought recent apps are supposed to stay there forever unless you force close? I talked to Amazon rep and I was told that this is normal...It's annoying because when I had my HDX 7, it was very convenient to launch my recent Amazon instant shows or movies from carousel. I tried factory reset and re-registering the kindle but nothing helped. Any thoughts?? Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kissflow:
hello, to recover the EFS folder on your device before flashing, you should make a backup in case something goes wrong. By I have heard of a method for a generic IMEI but do not know if it works in tab 3 :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Moto X Q&A] The Magician Type 0:
Pardon the thread if someone's already answered this, but is there a hack anywhere to allow you to rotate the active display feature? I love to enable 180 degree rotation for times when I want the charger to be on top, but the only drawback is Active Notifications still display at the normal orientation.

Can it be done?
[Moto X Q&A] natezire71:
You could try App Settings. It's an Xposed module.
[Moto X Q&A] The Magician Type 0:
Thanks, I hadn't heard of that module before. I gave it a try and forced the app orientation to auto-rotate and saw no difference. It actually stopped displaying notification info so I had to uninstall App Settings.

I almost wonder if Active Display is hardcoded to display notifications from the standard orientation.

Oh well, thanks anyways!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Card83:
Here is my current situation:

About a week ago, I noticed that I had stopped receiving notifications from Gmail. I could still open the Gmail app and read my emails, so I didn't think much about it. Then 3 days later, I noticed that none of my email was showing up, and when I would try and refresh or sync from within Gmail, I got a message that there was no network connection. After that, I went into my Account Settings to verify that I had not somehow accidentally turned off Gmail sync. It was, in fact, still checked. However, it showed that it had not been able to sync since 2/13. Additionally, my Google Calendar, Google Play Music, People Details, and one or two other services are not able to sync. There is a message at the bottom of this screen that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Like I stated, this has been the case for 5 days.

I will also list what I've done to try and fix it so far, just so I don't get a bunch of suggestions that I've already tried.

- Clear cache for affected software. No Change.

- Clear DATA for affected software. No Change.

- Turn off, then turn on Sync for my Google account several times, with and without rebooting in between. No Change.

- Wipe the Rom, then install a new Rom and kernel. Upon doing this, I could not even get past the registration, as the phone repeatedly said that it was unable to contact Google servers. This was attempted both on LTE and WiFi. I eventually had to Restore via CWM.

The device is running the FML fork of CM11 and has the Mpokang 1080p kernel. I have been running this setup for a few months with no issues at all. Gmail still syncs and functions fine on my Xperia Play and Kindle Fire when on WiFi, so it doesn't seem to be an overall problem with my Google account.

Any other ideas as to what I might try?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Card83:
I've attached screenshots of the issue. Two of the images show what my Google Account Sync looks like, and one image shows all I can see when I go into the Gmail app. I did black out my account name, but that is all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Card83:
Last night, my Google Play Store stopped working. So I did a little more research, and was able to resolve the problem. If anyone runs into this issue in the future, it was simply a matter of having a somehow corrupted hosts file. If you use ES File Explorer (or other similar app), navigate to your root directory, go to /system/etc and find the file called "hosts" without a file extension. You have to mount r/w, then rename, move, or delete the hosts file. Once this is done, reboot the device. It took a bit longer to fully reboot, but once it did, all functionality returned.
[Motorola Atrix HD] cynicce:
Hey Everyone,

I had recently posted about a holoblur problem but need to expand now:

No matter what rom I install (using philz) I have the same issue of not being able to make a preferred network stick.If I go into *#*#4636#*#*, switch to LTE/GSM/WCDMA then hit the home button it will pop 4g data on and work until I reboot the phone. I'm currently on CM11 the feb 17th nightly build.

I've gone through the beginner guides. I've searched the whole XDA forum extensively and the threads usually just end abruptly with no resolution. I could really use a turn in the right direction on this. Is it a baseband issue? Should I be updating from stock baseband of MB886_BP_100740.071.65.04P? Did I miss an instruction when installing a new rom? (System wipe/factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, format /system, mount system, install rom.) Do I have to have the radio off before changing settings or something? If it's something really stupid, I apologize but I've exhausted my resources here. Even if the answer is "This is something that happens and you just have to live with it" I'd be happy to hear a definitive end. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Phone can boot normally, however it won’t boot into recovery or download mode.

My phone was working fine I was running a CM milestone rom I went to update the rom and all of the sudden I cannot boot into recovery.

When I try to boot into recovery using the appropriate button combination I get the recovery splash screen then the phone powers down.

If I try to boot into download mode I get to the screen that asks if I want to continue, I hit yes then the phone powers down.

Initially I assumed that maybe I had somehow corrupted the recovery so I tried to reinstall the recovery using GooManager, then TWRP Manager and finally manually using Terminal emulator. None of that worked.

Since I can’t boot into download mode I’m not sure what I should try next.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm thinking something may be up with your power button. Does it act sensitive while using the phone? Tapping it lightly cause the power menu to popup? Things like that? What happens if you use Terminal Emulator and type either:

su

reboot recovery

or for download mode:

su

reboot download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sololhj:
The power button has become extremely sensitive.

When I try to use Terminal emulator as you instructed the phone boots into recovery for about a second then it shuts off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
If the s4 has this same power button issue by the time I go to buy the s5 I might look into a different phone. We shouldn't have to worry about the power button failing at any point in the phones life. I miss my power button so much it makes me wish I bought extra insurance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris Kurisu:
What about using an app that offers power button options (power off, reboot, boot into recovery, etc) ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It isn't the same, power button is needed for many things that you don't think about. I'd hate my phone without a functioning power button, I use it more than my volume and home button combined. You could always map the button function to the home button, but then you lose your home button function.

Might be worth it to get it fixed. I'd get mine fixed because this phone is running amazingly for me and development is continuing to be poured into it. I think it's worth it if you're planning to keep it for a while.

A lot of my friends iphones are also having major issues with their power buttons not working. It's just wear and tear, it's going to eventually happen to a lot of people.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sololhj:
Thanks for the insight SlimSnoopOS

I am now fairly certain that my power button has been causing all my issues. It would have never occurred to me that this was a hardware issue. If i had a way to return my phone to stock I would send it in for a warranty repair.

I am very disappointed with Samsung. This is my 3rd GS3(previous 2 returned under warranty). I''ve had 3 different android phones and this one is by far the most expensive and yet it is also the most shoddy.

I am seriously considering looking for a new manufacturer for my next phone. Iphone 6 maybe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I would definitely get the power button replaced by a third party company such as MobileTechVideos. You could also try doing this. It's only a suggestion but it did work for me when my power button started acting funny one weekend. Been fine two months later.

Uhh, I suggest a new OEM but its way too early to tell what will be the phone to get. MWC is coming up but I'm a summer buyer so I'd be waiting much later from now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jd300:
Recovery issues

I cannot get into recovery either but I can get into downloads which does absolutely nothing. While my phone is connected to my computer, it is being read by the computer. In order for me to get out of downloads I must hold down the power button and the volume down key. In attempting to get into recovery, I have tried holding down the volume up, home button, and power button. The 1st time I did this, when my phone vibrated I released the power button while holding down volume up and home button which successfully took me to recovery. Since then everything goes to download. No matter what configuration that I hold the 3 buttons the phone goes straight to download. I installed quick boot but even that takes me straight to download after pressing recovery.

My S4 is running 4.4.4. I am on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cozzbp:
I couldn't get mine in recovery, but I ran Kies, and it did it for me. Worth a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris Kurisu:
I seem to remember that my SIII was finicky. You mentioned releasing the power button while keeping the home and volume up pressed. I recall having to do the exact same thing. From a powered off state, press all the buttons you mentioned, but release the power button after a second or two. Once I got the hang of it I was able to do it easily.

And like cozzbp is saying, there are apps that offer boot options without using any hardware keys.

Good luck.

Not sure if this is quite the right place to post this...

Whenever I soft reset my XDA MiniS, it auto runs TomTom 5... how do I stop it from doing this, I don't think its in my startup folder in Windows...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] stuhyde:
yes mate I had the same problem

On your SD card (i think it was) you need to rename a directory as this acts as autorun if you like for pda's.

im sure someone can post the details.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] danum:
The 2577 folder is responsible for autorun when the card is inserted. Simply rename this folder to 2577x or whatever.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] awaterhouse:
Just soft resetting now....

Excellent - that works - thanks peeps, its nice to see people helping others out on here.

Congratulations Everyone, we are all getting 4.4.2 official from samsung! Anyone receive the update yet?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hogasswild:
But will VzW push it out? Or will we need to root to get it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

They didn't say when and you can assume Verizon will be last. Nothing to see here for months.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hafridi:
For the sound of it, it seems like an over the air update from Samsung. :) Either way :) ITS 4.4.2 TW
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolpoete:
The update will NOT come before Verizon's approval which means it will be delayed for months...after all the other carriers get it. The Nexus 7 2014 JUST got certified last week. (or week before) It has been out for eons. This is how it always is with Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Well hopefully we get a leak or port from one of the other carriers and the masters can do their magic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbergman27:
The really significant thing is that we *are* going to get the update. I was expecting 4.3 to be the last. Even if it takes months it will still be far earlier that I would have expected, even assuming that we were going to get another major update at all. (Face it. 4.3 took forever for even Samsung to get out.) This opens the possibility that we might even get another update someday.

Of course, I plan to have a Galaxy Note 4 in 10 months or so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolpoete:
:good:

:good:

It seems generally speaking that the big name manufacturers (at least Samsung/Moto/HTC) are getting the point that these devices deserve the updates and it promotes customer loyalty! I like the fact Google is pushing them too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hafridi:
Well the biggest thing is that the 4.4.2 requires little ram. I might have jumped the gun on release but I am happy that we are in line to get it. I really hope that AT&T, Verizon or another service releases the update. I am pretty sure that when the international version get shipped out, someone will definitely port it over :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrraya:
im not even excited about a 4.4 update i just got the 4.3 update in december and even after updateing verizon was saying we have no info on a 4.3 update being released for my note 2 and i gotto say the update is not all that great after the update my camera which on 4.1 took great pics now takes grainy pics that are awful
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
So Sprint announced that 4.4.2 KiKat for their Note lll
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Pretty sure that was Note 3 not 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Yes in my morning slumber I was to quick to read what I wanted to see, lol. Post edited to reflect and thanks for clearing that up before I got other's hopes up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hafridi:
Too late :( I saw that post and got my hopes up :(.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
lol oh well...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hafridi:
One of the reasons why i love the xda developers is because if it gets released for note 3, someone is bound to port it over :D still hopeful :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Absolutely! XDA just plain Rocks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Not getting ported over from the Note3 - different hardware entirely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hafridi:
I am confused, I know its a completely different hardware but when 4.3 was released for note 3, it was ported over to note 2 by seanzscreams. Why would this be any different?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
That was just specific Note 3 apps that were ported not the entire OS.

Samsung Note N7100 PIT File

Good Day !

I have a Samsung Note N7100 with a strange problem.

I did a hard reset on it and it started acting up.

Now, it cannot go into RECOVERY Mode ( VOLUME UP+ HOME BUTTON + POWER BOTTON )

When i try to turn it into Recovery Mode , the Display comes with FLICKERS .

Moreso, when it is turned on , it comes on with Flickering Display.

But it does go into DOWNLOAD MODE without problems.

I have tried flashing it with different ODIN Versions and FIRMWARES downloaded here on XDA and Samobile but di not help. Error Message : No Partition Files Found .

Basically , i would appreciate it if i can have a link to download a PARTITION File for Note N7100 or any Professional Advice .

[C++ or Other Android Development Languages] Aslolo:
Hey guys, firstly I want to say, that I have absolutely no clue about developing, or compiling and such.

I know a lot about computers and smartphones (especially Android) but I´ve never developed anything before.

And I do not speak any programming language.

So, what I need, is a way to turn the notifications LED off, via doubletapping the screen. (This should only happen, if the screen is turned off)

Basically I want a "double tap too temporarily disable the notifications LED, until the screen is turned on and off again" function.

I have literally no idea how to start this, and I need some help on this.

My plan would be, to make a kernel-module which kinda reacts to doubletapping the screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taintedham:
I lately looked into FPse and thought I would load up some childhood classics. Resident Evil 2 in particular. The game while running completely fine has a really annoying problem I have scoured the internet looking for info on said problem Re-installed the emulator completely and am just about to give up hope.

The problem that I am having is that any and all Menu's and inventory in the game scrolls incredibly fast, so fast that one tap of a button sends the in game cursor flying something 5 spaces away. This happens in the start menu as well so selecting a new game is a matter of pressing the button fast enough while its scrolling through. I have looked at various game play videos none of which seem to have this problem.

I am very sad.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capeterson17:
I've read a lot on using an external dac with cyanogenmod. I am new to custom roms, and need some help. I downloaded cm 11 (february snapshot) using the installer yesterday. Everything seemed to work fine but when i would plug in my audioquest dragonfly the dragonfly would turn on but there would be no sound through my headphones. The reason for this was because the music player(pandora and google music) would pause and not play again. Also, when i unplugged the dragonfly the music would play just fine through the speakers

My question is there anything I am missing? Is it just that the dragonfly doesn't work? Could any of the different kernels or roms work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
