[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethbw:
The topic says it all,

I have a brand new Note 3, but JavaScript - in particular animations used in sites with accordion behavior is extremely choppy - it just looks and performs horribly.

Is this expected? Why is it like this? A friend's iPhone5s on the same exact pages is flawless & smooth. :( :confused:

Any accurate advice & information that will help me understand the root cause is much appreciated.

What browser are you using? would you share the link of the website?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethbw:
I tried both the built-in browser, which looks like a blue globe and just says "Internet". I also tried the latest version of Chrome. I did not have any other apps open when testing each one (that includes the other browser).

Any of these websites:

http://aexmachina.github.io/tabcordion/

http://jqueryui.com/accordion/

http://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/simple-jquery-accordion/

http://www.jacklmoore.com/demo/accordion.html

Basically anything on the jQuery ui website, or jQuery website that involve animations just looks choppy. :confused:

I wouldn't normally ask, but it's not just jQuery either - there are a myriad of other animation frameworks based in JS that claim to be many times faster - and while they do appear to perform a little better in isolated cases, the performance quickly degrades once I've got enough going on in the page, or if I let it go for too long...

i just tried this on dolphin and its very smooth, i never use the stock browser but a clear browser's cache would help
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethbw:
Clearing the cache doesn't help.

Dolphin is nice yes, but I'm more interested in knowing the reasons why. I've used Dolphin before, it's great, it's just not going to help me find out how to improve this type of thing for Android. I'm quite surprised by growing number of issues with Android and the Android UI.

I feel silly for being excited to switch back to Android. Swype was the only thing I think I actually gained aside from having an Android test device. Just frustrated atm. This is not something I would expect from Android. I thought it was much better.

The "newest" radio is not necessarily going to give you the best reception. Its a trial and error process, as the biggest variable is your exact location compared to your local cell towers. Although the newest is not a bad place to start, you may have to try several radios before you decide which is the "best" for you.

I am using smoothest rom. The power off options for the rom just arent there any more. The tw power off options are there. Is it ok to reflash the rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
If you're already rooted and currently on a custom ROM then yes you can wipe and flash another or even the same ROM or you can even do a ROM restore from settings. Obviously you will want to backup anything before you do anything but I would NOT make a nandroid backup at this point due to the issue you have. It will likely be found in your nandroid backup as well. I'd recommend a clean flash. Remember that ROMS that have some of the Note 3 features tend to have issues and that's why I personally prefer STS or the stock rooted MK4 ROMS from Slesh and LorJay's threads. No issues with either. Also you may want to flash a god compatible recovery such as Phil's recovery version 6.07.9. Since the Jellybean/MK$ upodate there has been compatibility issues with some custom recoveries so I thought you should look into that as well before flashing a new rom. Your issue seems to be unique.

I have been searching xda and Google for weeks trying to find a way to get a truly customizable navbar like we can on older versions of aosp, haven't found a 4.4.x aosp rom that can do this yet either.

Gravity box gets me close but I can not change the symbols or single tap functionalities. I'm trying to get the phone and messaging apps incorporated into it as a start but I'm basically looking for a permanent navbar/dock to put my most used apps to switch instantly between them.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

I can find various folks asking about this, but have yet to see a definitive answer. Right now, if I run IE, a GPRS/Edge connection comes up fine automatically. However, some utilities don't start a connection and so fail. If I run IE first to get the connection going, the utilities run OK.

So, two questions for the fray:

1) Is there a simple way to just trigger establishment of a GPRS/Edge connection, in preparation for running utilities that need that connection (short of running IE every time, that is...)

2) I've seen the registry hack to keep GPRS/Edge up at all times. Are there any negative ramifications to doing this? I wouldn't expect faster battery drain just from keeping the endpoints established, but one never knows about these implemenations.

Thanks!

Hello. I have problem with wifi, after flashing DN 3. But first, let me explain what i did.

1. I had 4.1.2 HD Revolution and CWM

2. I installed GooManager

3. Reboot

4. Recovery crashed, phone was just restarting .

5. Flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-t03g.img with Odin

6. Installed DN3

7. Wifi did not started (weird)

8. Flashed wifi fix for MJ2

9. Wifi started.

Now, everything was ok. But i realized a high draining of battery. I though it was due to the installtion of apps, etc. I charged the phone to 90% , and after 3 hours it's on 66. I opened wakelock detector, and nothing . But i saw that wifi was ON all that time, but in setting , wifi is turned OFF. I think it has something to do with that flash. What have i done wrong?

Thank you,

Gabriel.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Still the point is, what is the point of super fast speed with crazy low data caps? On the business side they are staking their bonus on caps being busted, but for consumers it has virtually no point.

With just a few hi def Youtube vids, etc, the 2GB is gone. Verizon pushes hidef video content and cloud use- banking on this to push cap busts. Corporate folks have admitted this, but kind of a "duh", obvious point.

Key point is how long do the carriers get away with this?

I have unlimited as well, but fully expect at some point the carriers will find a way to stop unlimited. Sad but likely true.

Hello

I just about got through the rooting of my phone. But now I unable to edit files as i want to. Mostly replacing boot animations and lock sounds and the like. I was advised that my "partition" will be set to read only and needs to be set to RW. Ive searched the forums but cannot find a "noobs" guide to doing this.

Ive tried file browsers that say they switch the mode to RW when copying and pasting files, but i guess they cant change the mode unless its been set to RW in the first place?

Can anyone help me find a guide or help me through?

Thank you for all your support!

I can edit the original Unlock.ogg to rename it ok, to Unlock_old.ogg no problem???

At least i now how to use the CM file manager properly even if it doeskin work for me.

1) Chill out. You're giving up too easily on something ridiculously minor. If you don't have the patience for having to fiddle around with something like this, prepare to be constantly annoyed/impatient. If you mod your phone, stuff like this happening is standard (leave it stock if you want a completely trouble free experience).

I was just getting used to the fingerprint scanner after setting up my phone and went to add my VPN connection. It seems there is a bug(feature?) where you can not enable VPN connections while using the fingerprint scanner lock screen. Why it would force you to disable a main selling point of the device to use the VPN connects is beyond me...

Aside from how strange the request was I switched to passcode lockscreen protection and was able to add a VPN connection. However, now I can not seem to turn VPN support OFF or to get the fingerprint scanner back ON. The option is grayed out in my options menu with this message "Turned off by Administrator, encryption policy or credential storage"

Any ideas? As a bonus the VPN connect did not even work! It connects perfectly from my S3, but this S5 seems to hate VPNs?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PhilBxda:
SOLVED!

I was just going to post an update saying I solved it by switching to OpenVPN. Updated my pfSense router, setup the server and exported the client file to my OpenVPN app.... Worked! :)

However, I still was not able to set the fingerprint lock screen back. It turns out you must delete ALL your VPN profiles(the one I had that didn't work) in the settings menu for the option to become available again. Moral is avoid the built in VPN support like the plague if you can and use OpenVPN,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] quordandis:
But that would be true anyway ;) OpenVPN is arguably one of the more secure VPN protocols....IPSEC is probably another good one, but with such....umm....not great implementation of it in android OS, always happier to use another very safe and secure alternative....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mikecbig:
Fingerprint and VPN on S5

The answer to the original post is that Android requires a higher level of security to store secure access gateways like VPN's that could grant access to entire business data systems. Samsung rates its finger print sensor as medium. Perhaps medium might even be a step too high especially after it was fooled soon after launch with lifted fingerprints on tape and rubber blocks. Its akin to the facial recognition security option of earlier Android models that was bypassed using printed photos held up in front of the phone.

If you want a VPN in your S5, then you will have to forget fingerprint security and go for the higher level pin or password.

If you have made this mistake and ended up in this forum because your fingerprint option is now disabled, then you will have to delete all of the manual VPN's that you have entered. You then need to reboot your phone and re-check that all VPN are now missing because if you have an updated security profile, it may make the VPN profiles hidden and you will only see them on reboot.

Once the VPN profiles are all fully deleted the fingerprint option will return as a medium security.

I agree with earlier suggestions that if you want the fingerprint to work along with having VPN access, then the best option is to setup an OpenVPN connection. It works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diggory's wardrobe:
Help!

I found this post after I installed FoxFi on my Galaxy S5. I've heard that FoxFi creates a VPN, so I thought this fix might work for me. I uninstalled FoxFi and removed FoxFi's admin access then tried a reboot but I'm still not able to use the fingerprint. Do I need to do a hard reboot? Any thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] kenwchan:
Samsung S5 solutions

I'd just like to chime in and thanks to those who suggested the change to OpenVPN. This worked:

1) Deleted current VPN

2) Change screen lock to fingerprint (or whatever you like, I suppose)

3) I changed from PPTP to OpenVPN (I use StrongVPN), downloaded their client app for Android

4) Using their client app, I can now login to VPN using OpenVPN

5) lock screen still functions as normal.

What a pain. So lucky I enabled the Samsung remote before this happened as I got a bug where the phone crashed at the PIN entry screen and I was unable to unlock the phone with the PIN. So, S5 users, do enable "Remote Control" in your settings so you can unlock your phone via internet.

If you delete/remove the security credentials it will work again. It took me a while just trying everything to get it to work again but this fixed it. You just have to do that after using VPN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Vash the Stampede:
Is there any other way to enable the finger print unlock option?

I use StrongVPN too... and I am in China right now. OpenVPN doesn't work well here somehow (confirmed by StrongVPN support staff), and it would disconnect or get no internet access randomly. I was forced to use PPTP for a more stable connection. I have set up a VPN router using the main account (PPTP now, but I am able to change it to openVPN if I want...but then it won't be stable), and I have an addon account (extra $2 per month) and it can only be PPTP (I won't be able to change it to anything else). Right now I have the addon PPTP account set up on my S5.

Basically I can only use PPTP right now. Is there any other way to enable the finger print on screen lock?

Is it a bug or done on purpose by the manufacturer? Will it be fixed in the near future?
