MSC mode ??

How to disable small apps ??

- Freeze/disable 'Small App Launcher' then restart phone (or just restart SystemUI)

Your ROM is faster than NOS !! But some other 4.2.2 ROMs are faster ??

- Nah, don't ever try to compare this one's performance with it's 4.2.2 brothers.

Why ?? I think u already know, this rom is half CM10.1 and half SONY 4.3 fw.

All SONY 4.3 fw are made for it's HIGH END devices that basically not our device, so they're very hungry in resources.

I HAVE and I WILL do my best to handle the performance degradation of using SONY's fw.

So don't complain to me IF you found this rom has worse performance than other 4.2.2 roms, complain to SONY instead.. :p

how to disable small app ? only delete app in system?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iiandskater:
Thanks for your review..

I'm sorry but,

Have you read the whole thread ??

I'm asking because all your problem already answered in my post :rolleyes:

Anyway thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marchinho6:
yes, sorry. I have disabled small app :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smokerman:
-edit music info works but it gets a security error and can t download music info..but you can edit music album photo manually on a sd card folder if you want..that is working.

-cant seem to restore my apps with titanium backup.

-message cant see cause its all white,but no problem

,just go to message settings and choose different colors,bubble style etc..

-display its small,but no problem also,just go to your build.prop and change LCD density to 240.save and reboot.

-for better performance use cm10.1 darkraven kernel (its alternative kernel mentioned by OP)

-navigation bar buttons are big, and they are ON on landscape mode,maybe a fixed version with 24DPI and 0 landscape better.(i have fixed that for me)

good theming accent changes,looks very nice, incall is transparent (thanks always better than full black), free ram is between 140-160 (use greenify if not you will get between 80-100 if you install many apps). its a great sony experience if you like that,with all sony apps working great,only security errors may appear,cause we dont have support for some features.

some screenshots and video review later after more tests

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] olivierc:
Hi,

I just purchased a Qtek S200. Since I'm in a french speaking area, I got it in french, which is fine ... except for the virtual keyboard which is now an AZERTY.

I'm trying to understand how to swith it to QWERTZ.

As far as I could understand by reading different web pages, I would have to change the HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Preload key. However, it seems that I also need corresponding dlls...

Any practical clue on how to change the keyboard layout would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Olivier

(Needless to say that changing the regional settings in the control panel didn't help ...)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Miari:
I got one in qwerty and want it in azerty.

Can you send me the dll?

maybe I can get it t change

I would love to use ENG roms but I can't because of this freaking QWERTY keyboard, so if I can change it to AZERTY it would be great !!

I did notice that the phone was activated on 12/25/2013 so chances are I wont be able to do the unlock?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] snyper2k2:
yeah but its been your phone since new right? This one I bought from another owner adn dont plan on using it with sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] oscarthegrouch:
Idk if it can be unlocked for domestic use. Instead of taking the chance, buy a phone that's specifically meant for your carrier. You'll get maximum performance. I think you'd regret it if you got a sprint phone hoping it would work on tmo, no matter how sweet the "deal".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] snyper2k2:
Sprint wont unlock it for international use.

So its up for sale on ebay
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gotroot:
Ya seems sprint are being very bad pricks about unlocking these phones... They have the worst customer service I have ever talked to . I am a pc tech and have to be on hold all the time. And sprint by far take the cake on customer service
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Anthonicia:
T-Mobile uses GSM still right? So even if it was Un lockable the phone would only work on a CDMA network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Epix4G:
No this phone has both radios ...gsm and cdma if you can get it unlocked and do the domestic unlock here you can use it on tmobile.... It's a world phone

That's pretty cool. I must be getting old. I need a blanket for my cold feet too. Ya see, back in the day before AT&T was a big mobile carrier they were called Cingular. Cingular used an antiquated GSM network that..... zzzz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Epix4G:
Not old enough because before they were Cingular they were Bell South and other Bell regional carriers ... Where ma bell came from

Back before that we had pagers. ..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Anthonicia:
It was a joke. And Bell South/Cincinnati Bell all the other Bell's were AT&T. Cingular had no part of AT&T until AT&T bought em up. I had to sell against all of them for Sprint, so I knew all about that. Would be nice to work for Cingular back then before the buy-out. Their sales reps were making $60 commission per line on a new contract. $30 on an upgrade. Most we ever made was in the month of December $12 for a new line, $7 upgrade. Made quite a bit when one of the first Sanyo flip camera phones came out. Think I sold 35 in one day working @ a mall kiosk.

Feel bad for the sales guys who had to feed their family on commission checks bc all of the commissioned sales reps were eventually done away with. The race was over and the American dream, you could argue, went away with it...

Ahh, satire. That's how life was back around the turn of the century. Gimme a break, I'm old!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] snyper2k2:
I know someone was working on internationally unlocking the device without sprint. Doesnt look like they got it yet though.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkGrey:
I doubt internationally unlocking is possible, due to frequency issues as far as I know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
No LTE no matter what you do, the device is CDMA period! You can not change that, so yes, you can unlock, but chances are you will get 3g only!

Sorry...

Hello! dev.

I'm try to explain you my hope for new Gnote3 N9005 Lte. unlocked, I think USA model stock android V.4.3 no root and for now i prefer like that.

The system language as no french in possible choice and android phone is my first one, as possible to download and instal the french one or a tric for that i like this new phone but i'm french quebecois and is very not aisy to understand all the setting possibility.

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustangtyson:
Running 4.4.2 stock ROM unrooted on the Nexus 5. Having connectivity problems with the 2012 Subaru WRX base stereo. It will not sync up when i start my car. My galaxy s3 i had last never had any problems connecting.

The workaround is to reboot the phone or go through the pairing process again. Turning bluetooth on and off does not fix it. :crying:

Has anyone had this problem or experienced it solved by running community ROM's?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
No such problem with my device

It's the problem with kernel

Visit service center if it's not rooted and unlocked :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronyr:
Had similar problems but Mahdi ROM finally settled it all for me. Using linaro kernel 33 but all other kernels were fine. It was the ROM that did it for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
So I LOVE THIS PHONE, it has been everything I ever wanted in a phone except one key part; The low ligth performance.

I have taken a bunch of pics in darker settings (at work, in clubs, restaurants) and all my pics look blurry/oily (oil painting effect) and the only time I get sharp pics is on close up pics (really close up) with flash.

Is this the norm for this phone? Is samsung releasing an app update?

Do you guys have any apps that solve this issue and can you post them here/the setting you use with them. I have attached some pics below to show examples
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anameeeen:
I have the same problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5584012:
have you tried it with the smart stabilization mode on ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rzarector:
For me it turned out the smart stabilization mode was the culprit, disabling it fixed it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
Yep and it only makes things more bright with no real advantage...it still looks blurred/oily and details are hard to make out; but hey I have a little bit more contrast/better colors
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OMG-FFS:
Updates wont' fix it - it's the hardware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
Take a look at the tiny little lens on the back of your Note 3. Then compare that with a point & shoot camera. Then realize N3's camera takes in a fraction of the light and has a miniscule sensor. Do you really expect similar performance?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
You really need to play with settings, to squeeze maximum performance in low light and one setting for all won't work, but one thing is for sure, get as much light as possible from flash or elsewhere. If you ever watch pros making movies, half of their equipment is lights and light bouncing screens and they use them even in the daylight even with huge lenses costing thousands of dollars. I do agree Samsung could fine tune low light performance a little better, possibly having dedicated low light/night mode and explain "smart stabilization", which is not stabilization, but custom HDR, little better, but it's not that bad, considering small lens and sensor. I've seen that oil painting effect myself, but only in really low light where even DSLR would have hard time to cope.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
what setting do you use in low light?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
As I already said there is no one setting for all, but just to give an example, don't use smart stabilization for close distance , because then flash won't fire and here flash will give best results. On the other hand if you were shooting sunset, don't use flash because exposure will be too dark, unless you have people right in front as main subject etc. Smart stabilization won't work for moving objects, since it stocks multiple exposures on top of each other, but it may work pretty well for some static pictures. You could also try to manually set ISO and again it all depends, higher ISO will give you shorter exposure but much more noise, so for static picture you could try lower ISO and brace the phone against some hard surface to avoid shake, or even make a tripod. But nothing beats the light, so always try to position yourself with light behind you, so let's say inside the house have window behind you, not in front of you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Ive owned every single Android device to date.. yes you read right, every one and if theres one thing Android Devs Can NOT get right out of the box .. its the freaking cameras.

Googles own Nexus 5 needed a few updates from LG to fix it. LGs own G2.. the camera is smudgey and noisey and needs a firmware update.

The LTE version of the S4 (I9005) had shutter lag out of the box, leaving pictures burred and noisey, which was fixed.. eventually... in 4.3.

Thank you so much for this post OP, I was considering a Note 3 as a back up to my Lumia 920 (WP8), soon to be a Lumia 1020.. Its getting ridiculous the way devs are treating us buyers like ****.. "Oh dont worry we can release an OTA next month".

Seriously, take it back and send an email to Samsung "Ram it Samsung", then go buy an HTC One Max.

Stop letting Devs Q&A treat us like ****, return your phones, then send Samsung a Scanned copy of the refund reciept.. explaining it didnt work out of the box.. theyd soon kick their Q&A into gear.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
I would but I don't know another phone that has a pen. THe pen alone has been the one saving grace for me. I'm a very disorganized guy, ESPECIALLY PAPER and being able to have all my notes in one place has been really convenient. But I don't know, I would like to find a way to get forums to get in contact with Sammy and get them to fix cameras.

BTW does anyone know if the note 2's camera is a better camera and if it would be worth it to return the Note 3 for a Note 2

WHat makes me angry is that most reviewers swear the Note 3 camera is godly. Well not at all in low light
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Yes, It has an 8MP camera on it and its a brilliant camera, Its actually better than the S3, especially in low light. As an amateur photographer, I understand that 13MP dont mean squat.. 8MP cams are better.. less MPs for it to process.. I used to own a Note 2 and I loved it. The photos were truely amazing and Sammy have had a few years to iron out the bugs.. so it works beautifully and smooth.. nice fast shutter speeds with reasonable low light.. oh and the speaker on the back is fantastic and loud, with a rich sound from the wolfson DAC, plus the screen on the Note 2 isnt crappy Pentile either.

Its a great phone and you wont be dissapointed.

EDIT:

Yep I know, but reviewers all do that, its amazing what a new free phone will do to grease a reviewers wheels. I tend to watch independent YouTube reviewers, theres a few honest ones around if you look for them. There seems to be an obession that bigger is better, and in the terms of Camera MPx.. No its not.. trust me,. Look at the HTC One 4 Ultra Pixel.. Its fantastic, the Note 2 is a great phone and its cheap now. Go for it

Good luck
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoDJW:
note 2 camera is I can tell for sure at least 40% better than the note 3 camera in low light... that's my personal experience
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
So I suppose the question now is, is it worth going back to the Note 2 for despite the other advancements in hardware?

With Note 2, do the native updates give it some of the more useful features of the Note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Now that I cant say, sorry. I know the Note 2 did get some added updates from the Note 3 OS, but due to the half-baked flaky bullsh*t OS that samsung, LG and other devs keep giving us "Out of the Box" with their bug ridden, faulty, un-tested devices from a lazy QA depatment over and over again.. I gave up on latest Android new release devices and went to Nokia WP8, but thats just me :)

And yet we keep buying these faulty release day Android devices.

---------- Post added at 04:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------

Agreed :), Its a great camera.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
Hmm I guess you wouldn't know which one has a wider camera view?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
How do you mean by wider camera view?, are you talking about how much of the picture you take is in a single frame? or do you mean aperture?

The note 2 has an f2.6 aperture lens where as the Note 3 has a wider f2.2 aperture lens, meaning on paper, the Note 3 should let in more light, however, due to the huge number of 13Milion pixels compared to the less crowded 8Million, the aperture size may not matter here.

Also the Note 2 and Note 3 both have a digital zoom, meaning it expands the actual pixels themselves, not the image like a better Optical zoom, but they both have O.I.S and both have panorama shot for expanded images.

EDIT:

You mean as in how much you see through the viewfinder on the screen.. I think the Note 2 is the wider view, but Im not sure someone else reading this may know though

Hope that helps
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenjcampbell:
AFAIK, the pen functionality in the Note 3 is better.

The camera on the note 2 sounds like a winner...

I guess you need to choose. Since it is only dark in so many situations, I would err on the better specs and forward thinking of the note 3 in terms of android trim, better specs, and future updates.

A $80 point and shoot will do even better than a note 2.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
If you can get a wider picture from the Note 2. Note 3 seemed to have a narrow wide angle. (so lets say Note 2 was 16:9, Note 3 would be 16:11) thats what I mean. you can capture more area with the Note 2 camera
