VTE=Itchiee;52612185]Granted the battery life sucked before switching to the Spain version of Kit Kat, but could never reproduce the Chromecast issues that are alleged. Video playing has been fine as well, I've watched hours of video and not a single problem. So I'll take things posted here with a grain of salt, nothing personal.

Try listening to google play music or watch a google play movie using chromecast and touch the notification bar. It causes a instant system.ui crash. Try watching an imbedded video or launch my magazine and see if it will play full screen without lines through it.

These are the issues I have. Try doing those things and see if you can reproduce. My note 2014 and note pro both have these issues. I am am greatful for any help trying to solve this
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Itchiee:
Actually yes, if I do that with Google Movies it does crash. I never use that app so it hasn't affected me. I was just watching Netflix via chromecast for 2 hours and pulling the notifications down periodically without an issue. But the movie playing part is fine, with my videos or online videos, but I don't have my magazine installed so I can't confirm that one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
For some reason netflix and youtube play with no issues. I use google movies and all access music so big issue for me. I have to remember to never touch the notification bar while using those apps. Usually a reboot clears up video for a bit, but then the lines creep back in, but only on websites with imbedded youtube that do not provide linke to the youtube app
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] xuanphucn:
Anyone?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
Maybe try a factory reset again. This time do not add your google account right away, let the tablet settle in for 10 min or so. Go to the back up and reset option on the tablet And uncheck the automatic restore option. ( you may have to check the back up my account option first). Add your google account, then add your apps a few at a time. Sucks to do it like this, but seems to help weed out any apps that are going crazy or have corrupt data that was backed up

ChromeCast Saga Update

So it came back - surprisingly for the first use of Youtube with Chromecast did not crash SystemUI. But sadly soon it went back to crashing left and right - no idea what the trigger was. Tried uninstalling Google Play Services updates, restoring again, uninstalling AllShare Cast dongle firmware update etc. but no change.

So sent it back to Samsung again - they said if they can't fix it second time they will consider replacing it. That's my only hope at this point that the replacement will ship with stock 4.3 and I will not update until 4.4.3 hits - 2 years from now.

(Brand new 12.2 / 10.1 Note/Tabs _all_ have the same issue by the way - it's insane how they messed up so big and still don't have a clue. If more and more people keep sending it back may be they'll take notice and put out a fix.)

/end of updates.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
I will keep my fingers crossed for ya. I hope they figure this out. Seems like they arent understanding this is software problem, not hardware.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
It's not

all

. People have said they aren't able to replicate the issue(s) some of you are facing. I got 4.4 yesterday and haven't had any of the video problems people are talking about. I don't use Chromecast so can't comment on it. I do use AllShare Cast and watch a lot of video via different apps so if I had a problem I'd probably know it. I've played with the notification panel in multiple video apps and its been fine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blinkingled:
I meant all of the ones I tested - a Tab Pro 12.2 (Costco), Note 2014 (mine) and Note Pro 12.2 (BestBuy). They all had the same issue. So I would say the percentage is high enough for Samsung to pay more attention. Anyhoo I will wait and watch - all the rants because there isn't a better 10.1 inch Android tablet on the market :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
Seem like the chromecast issue mainly affects those of us using google play movies/music. Youtube, netflix etc work fine. I would hope allsharecast works as that is Samsung's app. The lines in the video play back are very random and do not always occur. Might just be the coding of the website, although I found it funny that it breaks my magazine. Not that I use that app, opened it by accident. Trying to open the same video from the same site on my note pro just resulted in a black screen with audio only, so maybe lines are better than nothing

Any news about the KK update on Note AUT(Switzerland)?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] KiwiBird97:
Notice that the clock widget has changed, as you can see. The font is now thinner, and the date is in condensed bold font.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BogdanDorianC:
KitKat update

I am from Romania and don't have yet KK update. They probably try to resolve some problems Spain and US versions of KK had before they make this update available for us too. And to be sincere, I definitely prefer this than to get something that is not working as it should. So hopefully all KK problems will be resolved soon so we can receive the update. Can't wait for it 'till then.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] bugluv67:
I updated to the KK software on my Note3. The update has ruined my phone. It is slow and frequently locks up as well as the screen going black and unresponsive for up to 10 minutes at times.

This has made me very skeptical about installing the latest KK update on my Note 10.1 2014. I just want someone's opinion on if the upgrade is worth the risk of losing an already flawless and fast OS on my tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] s44:
The Chromecast bug is the only real issue with this KK build. If you don't cast from your Note (or don't pull the notification shade while casting) it's all fine. (There's also the KK decision to lock down SD writes, but that's not Samsung's fault.)

Btw, you should factory reset the phone. There are battery issues with 4.4.2, but long freezes seem to indicate old data playing poorly with the new ROM.

update in Europe

Sorry if this question's been already asked: but anyone knows when we can expect update in Europe? or to be exact I mean Poland?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BogdanDorianC:
I can confirm that Android kitkat version 4.4.2 is available in Romania. I updated the software today and it runs great! Hope everyone got the 4.4.2 update!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
Blimey ... I thought UK was the last place to get KitKat didnt know people are still on jellybean, Guess I was wrong. Safe to say Samaung hate Europeans. We are always last for updates it seems.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BogdanDorianC:
I got the 4.4.2 version of android the other day. It's more snappier, has better fonts(actually they are the same but look better), small changes were made to the keyboard as well and on kitkat it doesn't lag at all. Better sound quality (for example when running JB and had adapt sound ON volume level 13 was louder than 14; but now the sound increases linear with no distortions whatsoever). Icons in Taskbar are smaller, and they are white. What I like most about KK is that Samsung adjusted the automatic brightness settings. It works great now. On JB I always thought it was too dark and adjusted very hard. What more can I say. I really appreciate Samsung for releasing this update in my country also. Hope you all got it!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] billycc:
Enjoy your new KK, what about battery life? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BogdanDorianC:
Battery life seems better on Kit Kat. While playing real racing 3 on Jellybean the device got really hot near the back camera and the battery drained really fast. Now however, it doesn't get hot at all. I can feel that is getting a little warm, but not like on JellyBean. And the battery drains less due to the fact that it doesn't consume that much energy as it did before. For now, nothing but good things to say about KitKat.

Also wanted to ask you guys, if you have problems with crackling noise coming from the back cover. When I hold my tablet on landscape mode, from my left hand I can feel that the back cover can be pushed in and make cracking sound. I am not talking about the frame making noise, but actually the back cover (mine came on black ) and it is really upsetting me. I only have the tablet for 5 months and it already makes crackling sounds. I am really disappointed in the construction of this tablet. The only Samsung I'll ever buy is the Galaxy Alpha and that's it. I just think it's the best looking phone on the market right now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lecorbusier:
The back cover cannot withstand even the slightest pressure. It will give it thru to the battery and the metal shields covering parts of the pcb. There is some stickiness involved, so there's especially some popping noise, when the pressure gets released, and an air gap forms under hood.

The super cheap plastic frame can prove to be more annoying. Even the tiny manual says that it can become noisy and that you got to live with it.

Of course its newer than the COO 4.4.2, but they are probably getting a small update today as well with this US update.

I could not get the OTA file without root sorry others.

I am finishing the install as I type this.

I read from several others that the attempt to go from 4.4.2 COO update to an original 4.3 was not working.

You can give it a try if you want and let us know.

I've tried to back from the 4.3 latest update to an older 4.3 (where the multi user wasn't enabled) it get stuck flashing the "Cache", it also happens with the S4 (causes a semi-brick). I assume that it will also semi-bricks the Note 2014 if you try to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3, as far I know is because Knox.

So I am one of those idiots^H people who hastily did the COO update and hated having the SystemUI crash. Just as I saw this I hated my stupidity even more and thought - that's that, now I will be stuck with COO and Samsung's negligence.

But then I did something - Installed Kies3, opened the Firmware Upgrade and Initialization thing - it asked me for Model no. and Serial number. That serial number being US based I was offered the ND2 update. That's downloading not too slowly right now.

So US based COO updaters - there's still hope.

When you flash non-standard firmware, like using a ROM from a different region then your device shipped with, there's risk. I put a different region's ROM on my N10.1-14 and started getting "index service has closed" errors in a loop and had to rebuild it completely. Second example, I installed a 4.4 "leak" on my AT&T N3 and when the "official" version came out as an update couldn't install it (even via BB or ADS) because my leaked ROM wasn't recognized. It took a day of finger biting downgrades and upgrades to get my phone "official" without tripping KNOX. Moral of the story: it's fun to play, especially for those on XDA, but there's always varying degrees of risk.
