[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GrandMasterPlank:
Yep, for me no real improvement, fractional if anything. It's not really any better or worse than before the update. Tbh, 4.3 was fine for me but all the previous versions of Android were also reasonably fine so long as you didn't install 40,000 apps. KitKat does have slightly nicer settings icons but none of the improvements are earth shattering, apart from possibly Multi-User, which Sammy idiotically removed in the first place. This was the same on my S4, when I did the OTA to KitKat. It was, say, 3% better, if that. Again very slightly nicer to look at but nothing your average (non-XDA) user would ever notice in a million.

Again, all of this is a storm (or party) in a T-Cup. Nothing to really get giddy about. No matter which way you slice it though it's still not buttery smooth, it never has been and probably never will be whilst Google are driving things forward.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Doctor. Who:
I download the xKat rom and it works very well
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] notebooko:
Maybe a factory reset will help. The new update is earth shattering for me and really improved the overall experience. Spen functionality has improved, response time and even battery life. I am rooted though so I don't know if that has something to do with it.

screen brightness

Hi all,

Anyone who has upgraded can check if the device still auto adjust the brigthness even with every auto settings set to off?

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2502964&page=2

Note than in order to notice it, brightness should be set below 50percent and you should be in a not-too-bright environement.

Thanks

After a few days and coming from stock 4.3 and taking the OTA update I am now experiencing force closes on Google + and Google play services almost every hour.

I already familiar tory wiped this before and after the update.

I'm getting sick of this testing for the manufacturer crap without being able to go back

Anyone else getting these errors
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GrandMasterPlank:
I've done a factory reset without any major improvement over what I had before but then I never had any major issues previously as I never overloaded it with apps. I got used to and accepted the slightest glitch and sniff of lag. But no matter what, even with a factory reset and no apps installed other than standard stuff, it still has very marginal lag. Open up Chrome and scroll down any standard page and the hesitation is there.

Just as on every Android device I've ever owned this latest OS update is pushing the envelope still in terms of a devices capabilities and always, at best, has a tiny bit of lag, unlike most A**le products I've tried (I'm no fan btw). There's never anything left in reserve on Android so you always get the slightest lag with anything you do. Wouldn't it be great if someone actually released a tablet or phone that had so much spec in reserve it would deal with whatever you threw at without issue. I know this is a pipe-dream but we can all dream.

Apps After Upgrade and Performance

After upgrading all my apps seem to working as normal for the last couple of days. Also I am finding the tablet seems to be faster and smoother.

I am wondering all the users that seem to be having problems seem to be occurring if they rooted the tablet or using different rom's. If you have never rooted or different rom's the out of the box tablets seem to flash and work with no problems here in the U.S.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
Just got my s5 from T-mobile last night and shes beautiful :)

Just wondering does anyone feel the front facing camera gives you a funky look? Its making my head look super longitudinal as if someone has squeezed the camera! Especially when I position my head so show at the bottom of the screen. Please let me know :) have a great day !:laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] daxecutioner24:
It isn't very good, that would be my best guess
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
So everyone's like that? You may be right...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
Would like some more s5 user feed back if possible, I want to know if all s5's are like this or i got a defective front facing camera. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] CitrixLemon:
Your head may be defective, I'd take it back to a T-Mobile store and see if they can help you with that. :p

Perhaps if you posted a sample image (not necessarily of your face) to see if something it obviously wrong. The front facing camera does have a wide angle lens which might be what it causing you to perceive it as "squished." If you rotate the camera do you observe the same effect?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
I knew one person would say that lol thanks for clearing the air Haha.. Anyways I'd be more than happy to share..

Also would like to add that I went to T-Mobile and all their phones including my friends front camera are doing the same problem it may be a glitch in the software. It's just how you angle it it had to be at the top of the screen or bottom.

Here is a picture of my face in the center and on the edge, I'll let you be the judge and try it on your phone as well. I am holding my phone horizontal for this one and it made my face wider if I hold it longitude my face will be longer.

Notice how the center picture looks perfect versus when you position yourself at the bottom or the top of the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] imilleson:
Weird mine doesn't seem to do that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
Hmm strange the s5 at T-Mobile they had for display did that but I will wait maybe it's a software thing that might be fixed within the next update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cmjkxa:
Mine does this. Its funny cause I was going to post about this but wanted to wait till someone else posted so I didn't feel crazy. Lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
Thank god!

haha thank god! i swear to you i went to at&t and t-mobile and used my friends s5 and all their camera's are like this.. it also does it in snapchat if you use that... pretty much anything with front facing camera..phone is fairly new and im sure people will start noticing it sooner or later! Shall we email samsung or something ? lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] redline06:
I think I have an idea about what you're experiencing, I always thought I looked funnier than I normally do when talking a photo with the front facing camera lol. I found that I look normal before taking the picture but then after taking the photo and when reviewing it something always looked off. I then found out about the "Save as flipped' option when you press the settings button while in the front facing camera mode. I turned that on and it was better, granted all its doing is flipping the image but it just looked so funny when that setting is off for some reason.

Try it out and see if its the same for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cmjkxa:
It's not that. When you have the phone in front of your face taking a "selfie", try moving the phone up and down as far as you can while still seeing the screen and have the camera on your face. You'll notice your face and head starts to distort.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Aou:
My guesses:

a) The lens itself is distorted intentionally to fill the extra "widescreen" areas of your display with an otherwise 4:3 ratio sensor.

b) The digital picture is distorted intentionally to fill that same extra void when viewing a 4:3 ratio picture on a 16:9 display.

Think of the days when HD (720p) was brand-new. Some of the first broadcasts that were in "HD" were simply 4:3 ratio videos stretched on the sides to fill up that extra space on your TV (versus having the "black bars" fill it instead).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] daxecutioner24:
It could be that the front facing camera just isn't very good, poorly made. I mean it's 2.1 mp. People still use their back camera for selfie lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
Hello, thank you for the attempt but I tried both options.. And still.. I think the front camera just isn't that good.. My s3 was better than this. I feel like I'm using a circus mirror as a camera..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cdjaney:
I don't have the phone yet but reading for education. This may be silly to ask, but does the distance you put the camera from you change the distortion? I know our arms are only so long, but just a thought.... Since it was pointed out that it does have the extra wide angle lens
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
Hey more knowledge to you my friend! I did a test with distance and I got the same distortion no matter how far i stood from the front facing camera, if I got near the top of the bottom of the screen, I would become bulging, and a little longitudinal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
You bring up a great point with the "widescreen" but it is 2014 don't you think they would have thought of a way to get a wider ratio with out distorting an image? This makes the front facing camera unusable to some. The HTC one also has a front widescreen screen camera but does not distort.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cdjaney:
Again probably a pointless suggestion, but have you experimented with the different resolution on the front cam? Makes a mild difference on my S3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
Hey good idea and it made a difference, I lowered resolution to 1.6 mp1440x 1080 and the effect was still there. 4:3

I put the resolution on 1mp 1072x1072 and the effect is completely gone. Ratio is 1:1

Then I put the resolution on what seems to be the lowest 640x480 .3 mp ratio 4:3 and the effect seems to SLIGHTLY be there by hardly noticeable.

For now I will be leaving it on. 3 mp it seems to be usable and not noticeable. But when I opened any third party applications that utilizes my camera like Snapchat it is distorted :p

great sound on the phone as standard apart from no bass, this fixes that in as smaller package possible.

how'd you get that?
[One (M8) Accessories] crustyeye:
Phones 4 U offered it, I assumed it was a full Bluetooth speaker not just sub.
[One (M8) Accessories] optiknerv:
I also had one thrown in by phones4u (as well as £50 of play credit, a leatherette case, the M8 free up front and £72 cash back lol)

Anyway I find it works a lot better with the wife's M7 in regards to sound quality. It might be because I have zeroinfinity's sound mod and Viper4Android installed and they don't like the speaker but it seems a little distorted and there appears to be a fractional delay that creeps in between the boombass and the phone's speakers that makes it sound terrible.
[One (M8) Accessories] crustyeye:
£72! I only got £50 and the £50 pay voucher. And a cheapo case!
[One (M8) Accessories] optiknerv:
I bartered with them. I was originally offered it for £34.99 per month free phone and other freebies but wasn't able to upgrade at the time. Rang back a few days later and it had gone up to £37.99 so I demanded the difference in cashback so £72 is the difference over the 24 months.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] SalomnA:
Hello, since I had my sprint lg optimus g, I played a lot with it, because we don't have sprint here in Venezuela, so I had to set the phone to be used here. It seems that i play too much whit it and bring it to a hard brick, the phone does nothing, not even recognized by the pc. So I wonder if this can be arranged in any way? If the screen of this model can be put to the international model with no problems? If the logic board of the international version can work with the rest of the hardware of this version? In advance thank you very much.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sg3love:
Hm.. That is strange man, since you still have no solution i will keep taking a stab at it.

have you tried changing music players?

have you tried getting your music from a different source/checking if your music files arent corrupted?

did you check with a file explorer to see if it is 100% not there? the music files that is... and just not cached by the music app ?

and lastly.. have you tried using a different spare SD card that you have laying around? sometimes its hard to accept but SD cards come faulty my friend.. I am all out of options...:crying:

i tried everything ill have to do is the last option but its weard tho because in that SDcard i have pictured and videos recored tho :crying:

im sorry to hear that... thats the thing with technology these days bro, you can never be 100 percent safe, its the size of a finger nail and holds your whole life in their.. so please try a spare SD card and put music and test it if it deletes..good luck :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] klutch:
i found the reason why now it was deleting it... i tried with a diffrent SDcard it did the same thing now that i had the option to move the 3rd party app which i used PowerAMP i moved the apped to the SDcard i rebooted it couple of times and it stood there b4 with out moving the app to the SDcard was deleting it at first i thought i was my SD but it wasent happy i did the work because some one might end up same way i was too. :laugh::laugh:

am I missing something but...Library doesn't tell me which books I have read or any progress through books I have started to read.

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
That's right. The closest thing to what you are describing is the "Now Reading" on the B&N home screen which shows the book most recently accessed and the page number you stopped at. However, the Nook does remember where you are in the various books you may be reading simultaneously and a touch on a book cover in the Library will take you to the page where you stopped (which might be the last page if you are done reading). And it also remembers all the various bookmarks in the individual books.

But that's about it for the stock reader and library apps.
[Nook Touch General] ThrashMan:
Thanks for the confirmation nmyshkin.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Percentage read is a difficult one.

Last reading point is clearer.

If you read a book then go back to read the preface does that mean you have read 5% of the book?

Or if you have read 5 pages then go to the footnotes have you read 99% of the book?
