That's an old quote (from 2-23) but it worked fine for me, got me squared away with ES File Explorer and Titanium Backup.

Many thanks micmars, you saved the day once again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Stryke_the_Orc:
I saw someone mention an app that allows the four multiwindow screens a while back but am unable to find it again, would someone be so kind as to let me know what that app was?

Much appreciated.

The default apps don't work unless you disable Google now, have had that issue with 4.3 and with 4.4.2, so I have to keep setting things as default unless I want to disable Google now

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjs2011:
So down the road, do you think any of the Galaxy S5 features will arrive for our phone in an OTA? I'm taking about the new messaging app, new UI, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Stryke_the_Orc:
OTA, not likely. That's the only thing they have that makes the S5 "unique" from the S4. And a fingerprint scanner, but seriously, aside from novelty, who's going to use it?

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjs2011:
That makes sense. I'll be using my upgrade on the Note 4 in December anyway (assuming it's worth the upgrade) so I'm guessing it will port many of these features and more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Stryke_the_Orc:
You can be (almost) guaranteed that anything the S5 has that's mildly useful and or entertaining will be ported over by our exceptional developers anyhow, OTA be damned. Besides, the quality of work you'll receive here, far supercedes anything you'll get from OEM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjs2011:
If only I was allowed to root. :(

I use my phone for work and the Good app won't load if rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Stryke_the_Orc:
Gutted on that one huh? What if you tried something like OTA Root Keeper? I know that this app doesn't support 4.3+ but there may be some alternatives that do. Search around a bit, see what you can find :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjs2011:
Yeah and if you remember me from the e4gt days, you know that it breaks my heart not to be able to root. :(

There is an xposed module called root cloak that used to work with Good. If they can get that fixed, then we're back in business. :)

Oh wait. I think I just found a solution! Ok which Rom is the best? I see Sacs has one.

Hmmm, I'm probably not the right person to ask about "Best ROM" stuff... Typically I kill those conversations with this:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] abjc89:
Some problems

Two things I have noticed.

1) For some reason last week, my phone deleted all my WiFi APs and now I have to add them again. Anyone else?

2) When my phone boots up, it cannot connect to WiFi for at least 2 minutes, during this time I cannot lock the screen either, nor do touchscreen sounds (that bloop when you tap on things) work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Yoshi1221:
I noticed a boot issue, noticed when it boots up, it boots up saying "headphones disconnected" even when the headphones are connected. Have had a few issues where the touchscreen froze and would not operate, but only had that happen once. Once i restarted the phone that helped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Chirpyone:
Just got my OTA 4.4 last night. I have not installed it yet. Couple questions first.

1. Do I have too install it? My phone of two weeks has been great and I am nervous about it. The 4.3 update killed my s3 which is why I finally got my beautiful Note 3.

2. If I do install what should I do first (backup, clear cashe etc) to ensure perfect update?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siptang:
I have noticed nothing but problems with this update.

1.) Samsung S voice is broken. Alarm is set and wouldn't go off.

2.) Wifi info has to be inserted again.

3.) screen freezes often when it's off and have to pull the battery.

4.) Photo gallery doesn't show new folders with pics in them without resetting the phone.

The fact that I have to pull the battery 2-3 times a day is really pissing me off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Stryke_the_Orc:
Did you take OTA? It's very odd that you're experiencing these issues.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siptang:
Yup. From OTA. :

Hi, guys, do the ANTIVIRUS apps like Lookout, Norton, cause the update to fail at 27%? I also get an Update Failed message, it's been 3x now. Phone is not rooted :'( I am so confused please help a dumb idiot like me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I am no authority on anti-virus software and Android, but I use none of those apps (perhaps I should).

As to it interfering with your installation, why not just flash the NAB one-click over in the dev forum. If you're not rooted, it should stick and not trip Knox.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tntitan10:
delete stock messaging app.

Is it okay to delete the stock messaging app. Reason being, is because on 4.3 I used another app to hide sms meassages. Now with 4.4 the stock messaging app shows all messages, and i use Handcent as my stock messaging app. With handcent I was able to use the blacklist feature to hie de messages, but these messages show in the stock messaging. I'm rooted so if I delete the stock app, will that effect anything is my question?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ImEVO:
Your better off freezing it with titanium backup or something similar..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tntitan10:
I have frozen it in TB as you have suggested, but will i need to refreeze when I need to reboot, or is it permantly froze until I unfreeze it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ImEVO:
It's permanently frozen until you defrost it..

No problems here so far. Update went great. No FCs yet even in the settings screen.

Can I take the ota with a custom recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
I can't get the OTA because my device shows set to custom even though I followed the NABD instructions but it still went to custom. Is anyone going to be able to do a system dump? Sammobile doesn't have anything up for our devices
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Epix4G:
No have to be stock. . Use mj4 Odin back and may have to go into stock recovery wipe data and Odin it again. .. Make sure it says Samsung official and not custom then you can get ota and it not fail

Did the update last night and now my battery life sucks ass. It feels like the phone is running hotter and I can literally sit there and watch the battery percentage drop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ycats:
That's typical behavior, whenever I flash a rom, it will run hot for awhile before it settles down.

Battery Life/Speed

Am noticing a major increase in speed. But as for battery life....doesn't seem like it took a leap forward. Even with using Greenify, and turning some features off, It's been stuck at 44% while plugged in charging for about a good 7 minutes. Other than that no force closes yet, feels much more fluid switching from app to app, and even though the UI is only slightly tweaked; kinda liking the white icons. :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] varaff:
Noticed that 4.4.2

Is much faster. This is due to the way 4.4 utilizes the 4 cpu.

In the previous 4.3 you mostly used two cores now all 4 are used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjs2011:
I'd be cautious about judging battery life until a couple days. KitKat had a lot of changes so this is a brand new operating system, so it's expected that battery might suffer initially.

In my experience with the Nexus 5 (I'm switching to the Note 3) this afternoon, KitKat does a better job managing RAM and Battery life. I was averaging 5 hours SOT on the 2300mah battery on the Nexus. Can't wait to see what I get with the 3200mah!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krispy521:
Since getting the Kit Kat update, I notice that the battery life has gone down hill and I cannot stay connected to Wifi for the life of me. The Wifi issue probably has something to do with the battery life though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BambiTyler:
Battery Life

Well once it got up to about 58% it started charging faster as it has before. :) Once it gets up to 100% I'm going to do a factory reset, download my main applications again, use Greenify, and see how it last throughout the day till 1% and post a screen shot of the battery settings :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lethal_NFS:
Update to my phone being extra hot and battery life sucking away.

The phone is now idle at 78.9 degrees. It was in the 90s for the first hour after the update. And battery life was dropping like crazy.

The battery is steady now and everything is nice and smooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kingdazy:
I'm just going to wait patiently until Freeza has got this ripped up, subdued, knox'ed out, rooted-tooted and flashable. No way I'm doing a flashdance just to get to stock, to attempt to maybe download the ota, to then root again....

And like mentioned earlier, c'mon people, battery life is irrelevant at this point, that's like judging gas mileage 10 minutes out the lot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Paulitics:
I still can't update. I've tried 4 times now (each time I have to re-download the update, it's super annoying). Each time I've tried, it fails at 27% and it just says error. After the reboot, it will say can't install update, please update using a computer (kies) or go to the nearest samsung center.

I really don't want to have to factory reset. I've tried clearing cache and making it as factory settings as possible, but still nothing. I'm completely stock, not rooted with official device status... What the hell samsung?

Any advice? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lethal_NFS:
If you are not updating, or updated, why are you posting?

And I mentioned my battery life because there will be members wanting to know if their battery life will improve, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
You can't judge battery life for at least a few days and cycles. Post back at that time. If your phone it hit after doing the update, dont forget that your phone just downloaded almost 600 mb of data. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kingdazy:
a) this is a 4.4 discussion thread, not an ota update problems only thread, leading to...

b) to let others perhaps frustrated with ota download issues know that Very Soon there will be easier options, that do not require getting back to stock flashdances.

c) relax buddy, my battery comment was not directed at you specifically, but to the inevitable deluge of posts amounting to the following: "my battery life sucks! oh me, oh my!" that has already started. subtly hinting that perhaps people should not add inane, anecdotal posts that are mirrors of the last ten posts.

sorry your jimmies are all rustled, that you took my comment as such a personal affront. next time i'll use the [humor] markup so its apparent.

i cant really tell at this point if you're either being intentionally obtuse, trying to start a flame-on, or incapable of reading whole paragraphs? i come here for relevant technical info, and to answer a question or offer advice now and again as I am able. and reminding people that other options will soon be available is relevant.

maybe you like reading 10 pages of the same thing? xda is not a knitting circle, ffs. do you really want to read 42 posts about the battery? do you really want to read 42 posts about how someone can't get the ota? I most Certainly expect people to discuss the 4.4 update, but as any mod or dev will tell you, if you don't have something new or helpful to add to the discussion, don't.

Have a better day! :D I'm out!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lethal_NFS:
After 2hrs, my phone settled and everything is great. The first 2 hours was rough as the phone was real hot and the battery was just draining away.

This is the 4.4 discussion thread. And you are telling people not to discuss the battery life for some odd reason. Bit odd you don't have the update and you are telling people not to complain about anything. I guess if everyone was as knowledgeable as you, they would not need to say anything about it. Or need this discussion thread at all lol.

I only say this because your post about the battery life looked as though you were trying to make everyone feel stupid by comparing this to gas mileage on a car.

Let me know if that works. I assume you'll lose root, though, but if you can update, not have to jump through hoops to do so, not have to wipe my device, I'll probably do it and deal with being unrooted until Kingo updates. If it doesn't, or you lose Knox 0x0, or something else we should know, please update everyone. Thanks!

Downloaded today without issue. Seems to be pretty smooth for the 4 hours or so I've used.

Originally the update was staged for 100% of all phones but the servers were getting hammered. So the update was dropped back to a normal rollout schedule. Same thing happened to me. Had the update this morning then cancelled it to wipe and backup the phone. Now no more update.

another 20% will get the update Monday.

How can I get 4.3 back from ota KK? Nothing wrong with the new 4.4 but I rather have my old stock back and restore my backup with Mods and customizations. Just till root and hot spots are updated to this new update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
You can't. Once you update your bootloader is updated to kk bootloader and you can no longer downgrade. To my knowledge currently unless someone re engineers a new bootloader that will allow for downgrading.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Epix4G:
You can be our guinea pig .... It may work and it May not... You can use Odin to flash the engineering bootloader in development .... Boot into it and then use Odin to flash the mj4 Odin tar .... we were going from na4 to MJ4 ...

You may also have to get the na4 tar to go back not sure

Let's see how bad you want to get back to MJ4 ...

But remember this may not work and you may have to Odin the nab again ...

Wonder if Sprint has it on hold because they are releasing a new patched version that does not screw with off brand flip cases?

Issue.

So far the only issue I found was with the keyboard. Even after doing a factory reset, off and on, it still is unresponsive sometimes. I have to go into the keyboard menu on the keypad, switch the view mode to one handed, then back again to full screen to get it too work.
