I just got my N3 yesterday, so not sure if it did this on 4.3 or not, but the stock music player, and pandora fill the lock screen with album art when playing them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ingenious247:
That's new KK feature
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrej201:
1 i know they tweak the music and the speaker they are louder now

2 screen is like way brighter than b4

they took the network and battery color all white now lame

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jlanik4:
Does anyone else have a problem where if you listen to music through earphones the lockscreen album art doesn't show up, but if you play music through the speaker, the album art does show up?

Kitkat Update Rant!

What kind of bullsh!t update was this????:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrrobc97:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajt1995:
Except its KitKat underneath. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chuko303:
So Samsung released the 4.4 update but apparently theirs A LOT of bugs???

I noticed the reception is better now:laugh: No seriously what with the full bars!! I always have full bars even when I know im in an area where is barely reception. and Yes the dbm meter is displays the correct reading but the bars are way off. I tried with the international Kitkat rom and I got the same result. Looks like its a kitkat thing across the board. Kinda reminds me of AT&T and Apple saga over the inaccurate iphone reception meter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] altimax98:
Nothing worth NOT upgrading either..

KitKat is a very large update from JB. Underneath a lot of things were changed and streamlined to make the system run smoother and more efficient. The lockscreen music feature is the best by far IMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
I was on the fence with how so little change was made from the eye candy point of view, but I took the plunge today, and I can honestly say the phone is much snappier. The under-the-hood changes make a big difference. The only real noticable things for me are the white icons. Especailly the battery icon. It seems so much bigger than all the other icons. Almost out of place. Overall I'm happy I did it. Very very smooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rans0m00:
Except a couple of cosmetic changes it just seems quicker now. Was hoping to see some more KK features but no luck that I have seen so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
Actually broken SD card and inability to root without tripping Knox is huge reason for me and frankly I can't imagine any bigger reason not to update, unless the new update would completely brick it, but this is close enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] altimax98:
For most of us here KNOX should be a non-issue.. Unfortunately when buying a Samsung device it's something we have to expect. I expect shortly that ALL root methods will trip KNOX. It's a security feature and root is nullifying that security.

If your company requires KNOX then you probably shouldn't be rooting it.

As for the warranty bit, we have been voiding warranties since the beginning KNOX doesn't change that.

As for the SD card that's another thing that is fixed 1 2 3 by root. Again for most of us its a non-issue.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Tancreddo:
Hello... hope this finds everyone well.

I am a long time android user and keep getting the urge to jump into the windows phone arena. I was just curious from those who have done the switch what you found good and bad about the experience. Just looking for justifications from either spectrum really before doing so :) I appreciate all of your time and look forward to hearing your experiences.

Thanks!!
[Windows Phone 8 General] DaviUnic:
Hi, it's nice to see you're willing to make the switch.

Honestly, there are some things from Android that you're going to miss here, but there's also a bunch of new exciting stuff on WP, so in the end it all depends on your ability to adopt something new and different.

Although I don't use an Android phone as a daily device (because that place is taken by my Lumia 820), I have one for various mods and stuff, and I just find WP a better option for me (but obviously both have their advantages and disadvantages). The difference in performance and optimization is most visible on low-end hardware - WP excels there, Android not so much. There's also a difference in terms of features and customizability - all those nifty things you could change/modify/replace in Android are mostly not in WP. The hardware of WP mostly caught up to Android, so there shouldn't be any deal breakers there. The store is growing daily and now includes most "major" apps, but it really depends on you whether you'll be able to find your apps or not.

But before you decide and make opinions about WP, I urge you to wait for the 8.1 update - it brings a lot of new stuff and further refines the user experience, so it'd be wise to make judgment based on that. If you can, I suggest you get a cheap WP to have the first taste of the platform, and then decide if you want to upgrade or go back to Android.

In any case, make a decision based on your own opinion and experiences, it'll surely be the right decision for you. ;)
[Windows Phone 8 General] MameTozhio:
I switched from my Nexus 4 to my Lumia 520 a few months ago.. one thing I noticed is the speed difference. Even though the 520 only has 512 mb of RAM, it feels more fluid than my Nexus 4.
[Windows Phone 8 General] karnoff:
I actually just made the switch.

From a Nexus 4 to a Lumia 925

Its been about a week, so far not regretting it at all. I managed to find all but i think 3 apps or so that i used on android in the WP store. One thing you will notice, some apps dont have all the functionality as they do on android.

What i do notice about WP is that everything is much more fluid. Tasks are easier and quicker to do. Also, in a lot of cases some of the apps on WP are generally nicer than you'll find elsewhere. I am really glad i made the switch. My main reason for switching was because i was just bored with my Nexus, wanted something different.

The only thing that its really missing at the moment is a google music app, i noticed like the day i got my WP, google changed the api or something in google music with borked all the gmusic apps on the windows store. But in everyday use, i dont miss it much. I just use pandora.

Give it a try, people hate on the apps and selection (i did too at one point) but WP has a great selection and some of the apps are absolutely beautiful.
[Windows Phone 8 General] finbaar:
Many people have a go at WP without ever trying it so well done to the OP for this thread.

I have had 10 Android phones and 4 tablets in the past 4 or so years. I think Android is a fantastic OS, easily the most powerful, feature rich and customisable available. In January I was contemplating swapping my N4 for a N5. However looking around at the fact that Android is so popular now I thought about trying WP8. So I got a brand new Ativ S for £140. The plan was to run two phones for a bit. The thing was I never looked at my N4. I know the lack some Google services is a problem but I have music, email & calendar one way or another so I can still interact with my Android family members.

The biggest let down in WP8 is the browser. IE is …. erm not very good. It needs text reflow (but so does Chrome) as a start but in reality MS need to open the platform to allow other browsers to run their own engines.

My advice is to see how tied in you are to Google and Android apps and see if any are missing on WP8. If the missing ones are vital to you then maybe WP8 isn’t for you.

I am now waiting for the new set hardware coming later in the year. I will then decide whether to get a new WP device or go back to android.
[Windows Phone 8 General] DaviUnic:
Luckily, IE is getting several improvements in 8.1, so it'll be a more viable option for people. The thing that's missing the most IMO is password management. Every decent browser should have it...

Yeah, if you're heavily tied into Google's ecosystem, you may need to reconsider your choice. Not that support for Google's products and services totally sucks, but it's quite lacking compared to what it could be (mostly Google's fault). But the good thing is, if you manage to make the switch to Microsoft's services, they've got you covered.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Super_Sport:
Me too.. my final android phone was the Xperia z (for a few days).. i just got bored of Android, wanted something different... i may get the LG G Pro 2 when it comes to the Market as a second phone, but my Nokia 1520 is not going anywhere in the near Future.
[Windows Phone 8 General] agispapatias:
I am considering a WP however the applications ... Will I be able to install free programs like we do on Android? I can download games and chunky programs from android app sites, and don't burn my precious internet credit.
[Windows Phone 8 General] DaviUnic:
Depends on how you define "free". There's free and trial versions of apps available on WP as well. There's only one store for WP, but you don't really need 10 app stores just to get your apps, do you? But if you're talking about piracy, you're out of luck.
[Windows Phone 8 General] agispapatias:
I mean is the system accessible like android? In android I can download and install apps from other sources like app sites.

Do WP has a similar system?
[Windows Phone 8 General] DaviUnic:
As I said, no, and doesn't really need one because quality apps are found in the store. The only other source of apps are homemade apps, but you need dev unlock for that.
[Windows Phone 8 General] winphoneuser:
It`s free. And [MENTION=1788780]reker[/MENTION] says you`re free to install 10 apps now (was 2 for free unlock).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvcube:
Hi.

I tried to download this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2575127

The download has aborted and I tried to download another CyanogenMod ROM I had in the past.

The installation was without any problems but when I tried to reboot the phone it went straight to recovery, and reboot always leads to recovery mode. (my recovery mode is CWM)

I tried to install the same CWM and a recent version and it doesn't work either.

It happened to me couple of months ago and I install the same version of CWM and it worked.

What I need to do?

My phone: Samsung Galaxy mini 2 gt-s6500

I don't have a nandroid backup.

Hello everyone,

I'm creating this thread to gather information for people like me, people who haven't flashed a custom ROM due to thinking of losing S-pen functionality. I would like to know your experiences with custom ROMs and what apps do you use to substitute the ones that come preloaded in stock.

(I think this is very common among the note series users, so I'm trying to change that to get the most out of our tablets/phones)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blario:
for about two weeks, i've attempted to root the n5 using a mac. i have android sdk installed and fully updated. I've tried three different macs, one on mountain lion and two on mavericks. No matter what, adb can see the device when its fully booted. fastboot nor adb can see the device when it's in fastboot mode however.

i've mentioned this several times in the chainfire and chromium threads, but the only responses i get seem to be assumptions that every android device ever will work on mac without drivers, when clearly on 3 different macs i have fastboot not seeing the n5 in fastboot mode. when i ask if anyone has ever seen a mac see the device in fastboot mode there is nothing but silence. is it true this device has never been rooted on a mac? is it impossible (no assumptions please; if you haven't seen it work, don't spread the lie that it is possible)?

If the myth that this is possible stops getting spread, maybe i'll buy a windows pc solely to root. This is a cruel lie to spread that it's so simple when the poster has never seen it happen before though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasparzim:
That's really strange. I rooted my old N4 on my mac mini at home, and my N5 on my iMac at the work.

What message do you see when you use ./fastboot devices?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
[MENTION=521893]Blario[/MENTION] i rooted it on a mac, no driver needed..you only need the sdk or fastboot and adb executable

post a screenshoot of the error, will make everything more easily to solve

also in fastboot mode, you can't use adb as you mentioned..in fastboot mode you can only use fastboot commands
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blario:
Thanks so much for the replies! You're the first two people I've seen actually saw they've seen it work.

I went to get another failure result, so i could copy the screen exactly and paste it here, and omfg it worked.... After two weeks of fail, it finally worked. For hours I couldn't figure out why. Then when notifying another thread that it finally worked, it came to me. My Little Snitch was accidentally turned off this morning. I think that must have been it. I've noticed that adb uses network ports for communication... so much pain and finally success. Don't know whether to cry or jump for joy.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
hello guys! Recently I installed a custom rom Cyanogenmod 10 for a while it worked normally but one month after normally use the battery has started to swell and i need to remove the battery, I bought another battery, put it on my galaxy w put when she did not want to load, bought a alternative loader and load the battery to 100% yet the galaxy w will not start normally, it will start to screen the ClockWorkMod and turn off again, can someone help me?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Did you format the /system folder in CWM upon installation?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
No i only instal rom and it worked well for one month, thanks for helping me and sorry for bad english
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Ok. As a note of advice for the future, don't just install ROMs one on top of the other. Do it clean, always, to avoid such problems.

For all ROM installations, please, follow the steps below:

First, make sure you got the ROM and the correct Gapps on your External SD Card.

After that, enter CWM and:

select "wipe data / factory reset"

go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!

under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1, or /external_sd for older CWM versions, by mistake)

install the ROM (from the external sd)

install Gapps (from the external sd)

reboot your phone

Please, note that every step of this tutorial is mandatory!

Note: if you've got pictures/videos/documents, but NO application data (such as specific app files/settings), that you want to save, move them to a location on your External SD Card or a computer, because you're about to format the internal memory. If you want to move them back, you can do it after flashing the ROM.

Hope it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
when I turn on the phone's screen CWM logo appears however the phone resets after that so I can not use CWM, I can not get into CWM
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Is the new battery an original battery? And also, did you try to connect your phone to charger and enter CWM like this? Also, which CWM version did you install and where did you get it from (link to the thread maybe)?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
yes the battery is original! yes i try to enter in CWM when charger is connect.

the version of CWM is clockwork-6.0.3.0 and i got this version in brazilian forum Called GSM fans
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Ok, please, try replacing your CWM recovery with this one here.

You can either use the tar.md5 file and flash it via ODIN (using a Windows PC) or, if you would have a working ROM, download the zip file, extract the recovery.img from it and flash it via Flashify (downloadable app from Google Play Store). Tell me if it makes any difference. The new CWM version should be 6.0.4.5.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
business xinfflo

I can not do this, I made a video you can take a look? sorry for the quality, as you can see, when I plug the usb he turn on and

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LS.xD:
Can you enter the DOWNLOAD mode (Turn off the phone --> then press Volume down + home + power at the same time) ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
Yes I can, only when i plug usb cable... I try a lot of times flash a new firmware on odin but when odin try to restart my phone it fails, the phone restarts but returns to the screen with a battery charging:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LS.xD:
Which Version of Odin are you using?

And just to be safe --> Have you tried a diefferent USB plug?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
4.43
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LS.xD:
I just tried it with my phone:

-Open Odin Multi

-select "Ancora.ops"

-mark "One package"

-select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.5-ancora.tar.md5" under "integrate package"

I tried to mark and unmark "auto reboot"

Flash process only succeeds if it autoreboots.

AND have you uninstalled samsung kies? You can manually close all kies instances and processes via task manager, but its more safe to uninstall it and only install samsung USB drivers.

This is how you did?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
i Try It again and now we have a litle change i don't know if they are good or bad news , my flash on odin run well but when odin try auto reboot the phone, the mobile screen starts flashing, as if trying to star,t and now the symbol of the CWM Disappeared
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LS.xD:
Can you still enter download mode?

If yes --> try flashing again and see if you can enter CWM pls (Volume up + Home + Power)

If no --> you can try flashing a full stock firmware via odin BUT you need the correct firmware package for your country (may be you know which firmware was installed as stock?)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Could you please, try another battery? I know you already changed it once. But just to be sure. Also, in the video, are you trying to start the phone after plugging the cable or does it automatically go into that recovery screen and then reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
yes i enter in download mode and flash it again but i don't work , and no i can't enter in CWM and the screen keeps flashing when odin try to AutoReboot

EDIT-->

ok i will buy another baterry , the phone only "start" if i plug the usb cable , if I try to turn on it without the cable connected the screen just start flashing
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Ok, please let me know what happens with the new battery. For as far as I can tell, this is not just a messed up ROM. But we'll see. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
hello,and sorry about the delay in responding. Today I was in a shop the seller is asked to take the test with another battery, and the phone start and don't flash the screen, but as I tried to flash by odin yesterday, the android system can be corrupted, but the phone stay on, and don't flash more and stay in samsumg logo, i think u are right asradu! I have no money to buy it now, but I'll try to get back on topic as fast as possible to post news
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
I'm glad I could help. :) As soon as you get the new battery, please, follow the steps mentioned on the first page to get the ROM back in order. If the recovery flashing you made was not successful, please, do it again and make sure the version you're running is indeed 6.0.4.5. After that, follow all the installation steps mentioned on the previous page and reinstall the ROM in a clean manner. I would also strongly suggest you to apply the same steps for every ROM installation. :)

If you want to go back to stock Samsung ROM, you need to enter CWM recovery and:

1. select "wipe data/ factory reset" option. This will also erase /cache, /dalvik-cache and ./android_secure, so you don't need to format them manually again.

2. go to "mounts and storage" and select "format /system" option. This is extremely important!!

3. on the same page, select "format /sdcard0" (be careful not to format /sdcard1 by mistake). This will format your internal memory to ensure no application data is left on your phone. Of course you can reinstall all your apps from Google Play Store after that.

4. flash the stock ROM via ODIN

5. reboot (or let it reboot automatically)

This is how it's done. :)

I got two "PolarCell Li-Ion 1600mAh EB484659VU" from ebay for my phone, due to my stock battery has messed up too.

Its cheaper for you as buying one from your local store and they work pretty reliable for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
Hello Asradu and Ls.xD how are you guys? i have bad news i think, I bought a new battery and now phone starts normally and screen don't flash, but when i try to flash it witch odin,odin restarts the phone however it gets stuck on samsumg logo and loop infinite... like this video, but the cell phone in the video is a galaxy Y,

http://www.tubechop.com/watch/2277915

i got rom on this site http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8150B
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hey :)

Well, you made multiple mistakes:

1. I suppose you didn't follow the steps mentioned a few pages ago and reinstall the ROM in a proper way, did you? :P

2. Unless you really got a Samsung GT-I8150B, you should get your stock ROM from here.

So, overall, I'm not surprised you still got troubles. You need to make a clean environment for the new ROM as I specified on the previous pages and only after that, reinstall the ROM (any ROM). But if you're gonna install the Samsung stock ROM, at least make sure to download the correct version for your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
hello asradu im sorry i can't follow this steps because i can't enter in CWM, the CWM logo disappeared =( I can only enter download mode and try to flash by odin
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
You need to reinstall CWM first, then follow those steps, then reinstall the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bladirangu:
God Asradu

asradu u really save me... i can not say in words how thankful I am and LS.xD too problem solved and now i will follow this steps 4 ever.

thank you very much for having patience with me and my bad english problem solved!! :victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
