What is the benefit of having the US version over the COO one we are using now?

Looks like Samsung's servers are overloaded. My ota wont download. It says try at a later time
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] miked0602:
Not sure yet, only 75% downloaded.

Region COO being Colombia is not US from what I have read over the last 5 days.

If I ever have to sell or warranty the unit, I foresee an easier attempt to do either with the proper region.

I'm happy to wait a month here in UK, let you guys (US) trial and find all the bugs and annoyances so hopefully by the time it reaches the UK it will be relatively bug free..well this is what I tell myself to make me feel better at the UK always being left out haha - will be suprised to see this here anytime soon

What time did your download start. Mine started at 4:28 pm (US EDT) and I can't get it to show me a progress, it is reeeaaalllllllyyyyy slow.

UPDATE:

Just completed the download, but did not install. Where to look for the file, so I can upload it?

Yeah no kidding! Haven't gotten any update at all since it came out.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] kbboykin:
Total file size is 549.37 MB. It is most definitely Kit Kat 4.4.2
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] miked0602:
The Samsung Sites both official and non, show ZERO Full flashes for the SM-P600 wifi only model at 4.3

That was what worried me about flashing to COO, if I cant find the original anywhere, how am I going to find the 4.4.2 full flash for U.S.

I am happy to report the update is 90% done.

If you want to see progress bar, just go into settings and general and about and software update and update now.

If you are rooted the update should be in your cache folder.

I stopped rooting when the hardware caught up and now with KNOX and no carrier warranty exchanges I left the NOTE 10.1 2014 alone

Have you changed the max tiles in Chrome to 512?

I use this tablet every day and I see zero lag in Chrome. I think the only noticeable stutter I ever do see is in the pull down notification shade. Otherwise this thing is stupid fast.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Toufik1967:
Thanks but whenever I try to install it via Odin....it fail....how can I do It?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GrandMasterPlank:
No, I haven't done this. It's an option but tbh I don't see why is should have to do such tweaking to get Chrome to be super smooth. Like I said though, it's not terrible it's just not butter smooth like Apple gear.

This tweak though only solves the Chrome issue, it's doesn't solve the fundamental that Android and lag are wedded to each other. It may only be slight but how long does Google need to get its s**t together? Love Android, hate the way Google go about their business.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blinkingled:
I am as OCD as it gets about lags and stutter - but with the CND2 update I couldn't find any lag or stutter on mine at all - in fact it was a lot better experience than when I upgraded my (now sold) iPad3 to iOS7. At this point Android lag and stutter is either a new level of OCD or just a perception issue. :D

And even though people still continue to talk as if Apple's devices have no lag or stutter, at least post iOS 7 update and especially on older gen devices that's not true at all - and with the paltry 1GB RAM they continue to put in iPads the apps getting killed left and right is an significantly worse issue than minor perceived stutter on the Note with 3GB RAM and KitKat.

4.4.2 would have been a flawless if they didn't screw up ChromeCast for me. It's taken a little more time than Internet expectations but Google's done enough with all things - ChromeCast, Chrome, KitKat - that ours is now, for the first time, a fully Apple-free household.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] wally44:
Twitter also fails and shows in the Samsung Apps as being installed. I can only turn it off and not uninstall it. It crashes immediately on firing it up. The one in the Google Play store says it is incompatible with the device. I'm using Tweetcaster Pro so there is no real issue, but why did they send out a version of Twitter that won't run?

There are many many people with Chromecast causing a crash in SystemUI. If yours is working it sounds like you're in the minority.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blinkingled:
We have seen quite a bit of mixed responses on the ChromeCast issue but little debugging has been done as to why it works for some and doesn't for others. Also note that you need to pull down the Notification Bar when a ChromeCast video is playing in order to reproduce the crash. Please make sure you did this before stating if it worked or not.

Anyone posting about ChromeCast issues - working or not - can you please provide the following info in your posts -

1) Fully Stock or Rooted/Knox Tripped/Custom ROM

2) Method of firmware update - went to COO, Odin'ed to XAR, OTA etc. Also mention if you did or didn't do a factory reset after the update.

3) List of Apps - please list any notable apps you have installed - except the normal ones that everyone installs.

4) Hardware - 16GB/32GB/White/Black and where you got it - US/UK/Japan etc.

5) If you are having the issue and know about adb (and you should if you're on xda ;) ) - run adb logcat while recreating the issue and post the output.

I am sending mine back to Samsung for "repair" after opening a service request. Getting ready for a likely back and forth with Sammy as this one is a doozy - they need ChromeCast to repro it, only happens on some devices, everything else works just great etc.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] TabGuy:
Chromecast is working for me. See my responses in red...

Did you try a factory reset? Maybe try installing the USA version via Odin.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blinkingled:
The apps - as I said only list if notable - custom Launcher, power saving apps like greenify for rooted ones etc. No need for listing regular apps.

I actually did factory reset multiple times and also flashed US version via Odin along with wipe data/reset from recovery. No dice unfortunately.

You're using US 32gb black - mine is 32GB white also from BB. So far the only difference we have found is the color - which should be irrelevant unless we have a consistent pattern of black=working and white=broken. Would be weird!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jaytee23:
I don't have a Chromecast, but maybe the Chromecast software needs to be reinstalled on the Note?

Also, maybe there is a difference in the hardware or firmware version of the Chromecast device itself. I know it's downstream, but its possible that could make a difference. Just sayin.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GldRush98:
There is no software. All Chromecast support is done in the app sending the media to the Chromecast.

AFAIK, all Chromecasts run the same software version. All of that is controlled in the background by Google.

System ui crash during google play music. Sometime right away, sometimes makes it through a few songs.Using google all access if that matters. Will crash after turning the screen off and not touching anything on the tablet

Edit- I stand corrected. Just listened to music for about an hour no issues, until you touch the notification bar then instant crash of system ui
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] presidentsdad:
I upgraded yesterday (4/27), I came into my office and turned on my tablet and it asked me to upgrade. I only had 7% battery at the time so I had to plug in and wait until I got to 15%. Once I did, I pressed the upgrade button (It had already downloaded), it asked to reboot to which I said yes and away it went. I didn't monitor it the whole time, but I'd ay about 5-15 minutes later it was ready to reboot again and then proceeded to go into the "upgraded x or n applications" and then it was ready. I had one settings stoppage right after reboot, but after that it's been flawless. Wakes up instantly, unlocks much quicker. The notification panel and the task manager look more refined. Speed is great and I don't notice any lags. Chromecast works perfectly. Best android upgrade I've ever had!!

Chromecast is working good for me....

Anyone posting about ChromeCast issues - working or not - can you please provide the following info in your posts -

1) Fully Stock ROM

2) OTA update, no factory reset

3) List of Apps - nothing unusual, but am using the Nova Prime Launcher.

4) Hardware - 32GB/White USA version, got at NewEgg

5) No Chromecast issue with YouTube. Seems to work fine without crashing, although I've not run it for hours.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
Seems like no issues with youtube. I have the problem with play music and play movies. Like others have said, they work until you touch the notification bar.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] presidentsdad:
It appears I spoke too soon. Watching youtube via chromecast, pulled down the notification bar..."unfortunately system.<something>.ui has stopped", over and over and over until reboot. Seems to work fine if you don't try to use the notification panel whilst Chromecasting.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
I have a 12.2" note pro in the house as well, guess what it does the same thing....pull down the notification bar and systemui crash.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] presidentsdad:
Where would one make Samsung aware of the error?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
Looking at that now. The pro isnt mine and never gets used for chromecast. I am going to read the pro forums to see if its mention there as well. It is kinda a bummer. Over all the update is good. I was will miss the lock screen widgets, but I will move on. I cannot have my chromecast not working properly. My natural reaction is to go to the notification bar when emails etc come in

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Looks like people have had this problem since April 1 at least with the note pro and it is still a problem 28 days later on our 2014's.

I took a shot in the dark and chatted online with samsung support. They suggest we get in contact with google.....so um yeah...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blinkingled:
You can call them at their support number - that's what I did. The support lady I talked to was ok - she made me connect via the Samsung Remote Help app and could see my screen when the issue occurred. I ended up sending it back to Samsung for repair although I know it's not a hardware issue - if enough people do the same they might fix it faster.

At the very least open a service ticket http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/request and give them all the detailed info to recreate the issue.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Wow, maybe you got a clueless rep on chat - try calling them and opening a service request on their support site.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
Will do. Like I said I have a 10.1 note and a 12.2 in the house, both with the same issue. Im afraid to try my att note 3 after the KK update.

Kitkat Bugs?

After updating my Note 10.1 2014 to 4.4.2, I no longer get lockscreen album art while using any music player. Just song title info and music controls. No album art.

The here and now section of My Magazine doesn't update and show any new content like it did before I upgraded.

Anyone else experiencing these issues?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] V'Pier:
Has any non-Americans successfully installed this update without triggering Knox or having "Custom" come up under "Device Status" like the phones do.

Or should we wait eons for Samsung to release other countries updates :/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Co-re:
Why would something like that happen? I haven't exactly checked but I've installed US 4.3 and Colombian 4.4.2 before this one with nothing such happening.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] V'Pier:
Well the question is, are you from USA or overseas? If your update to 4.4.3 didn't trigger Knox, then that is great.

Did you use Odin?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Co-re:
From Finland.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] V'Pier:
Okay, so I'm assuming you used Odin to update it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Co-re:
Yes, downloaded from Google Drive via link somewhere on this forum and flashed with Odin.

Just to make sure, I did not check the warranty bit after the latest update but the two prior ones did not trip it so I doubt this one did either ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
chromecast

Found an interesting reply in the tab pro forums about the chromecast issues. This supposedly coming from a third party app dev

"According to Bubblesoft (the maker of Cast To UPnP/DLNA), the issue is with Samsung's volume thingy. The stock ROM/Touchwiz puts the volume panel into the notification bar and pulling it down causes the error. Since according to this thread it also happens with Chromecast I guess it's Sammy's fault."

I just downloaded a status bar replacement app, and it seems to solve the prob. Can someone else with the chromecast issue try this and confirm?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blinkingled:
Wow that is fantastic news! I sent mine to Samsung for repair - but I am not very optimistic they'll do anything useful. Once I have it back I will definitely check that replacement status bar app out - mind telling which one you tried?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
Super status bar. Just search for status bar replacement in the play store. I am hoping people can try this out to make sure its not a fluke.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
What about the people on 4.4 that use Chromecast and say they aren't having issues? They're (apparently) using the same notification panel as those reporting issues. So it might be tied to the addition of the volume control in the notification panel but something else must be contributing to it. You'd think/hope Samsung would have caught something so obvious in their user acceptance testing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
I agree. I am not sure what the true cause is. I haved done a factory reset and tried playing music with no apps installed and still have the problem. I have access to a note pro that has the same problem. I have come across threads in tab pro and note pro discussing this. I have found threads on other sites concerning this too. I truely dont understand why some of us are having the problem
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] jjdevega:
I recently purchased chromcast after updating to 4.4 via kies and initially it would give me the same errors others have experienced with the notification panel. I'm not quite sure what I did but it only happened a few times then it stopped doing it. I did delete some apps and updating others but that was pretty much the extent so not sure. I haven't had any problems since then. I can pull down the notifications and pause and play chromcast. Go stream Netflix and Hulu like a champ. I love the nav buttons on the lock screen so I can easily just pause the current streaming video. Hopefully someone can figure out what is causing the glitches. I'm happy mine stopped doing that.

ChromeCast Issue Update

Mine took 4 days to reach Samsung repair center in TX. Then 2 Weekend days plus 4 days for a repair that was documented by the repair center as Symptom: SOFTWARE PROBLEM Repair Description: S/W Upgrade (External Factor).

After 3 additional days of nothingness after the repair completion, it will be shipped out to me tomorrow. So another 4 days before I confirm that they didn't really do squat and the problem remains. :crying: (Reason of skepticism: ChromeCast is needed to recreate the issue, chances of Repair center having it are next to none. And what upgrade would the repair center do if Samsung themselves haven't released any fix?)

Well hopefully at least they don't scratch it up too much. That and LG G Pad 10.1 was just announced - some more hope.

Hey guys, my tablet gets really hot after browsing chrome for 45 mins. The area around the camera gets really hot. Is that normal? I don't know what to do. I tured GPS off and also did a factory reset also but didn't seem to fix it :mad:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] chgambini:
This is unfortunate. I have tried so many different things to fix Chromecast crashes, the horrible lines through videos,worse battery life etc. Nothing I do seems to work. I can reproduce Chromecast and video issues on a note pro as well. Two different tablets with different apps intsalled consistantly crashing on Chromecast and having video playback issues. I do not have a baseline battery usage on the note pro, but I know I used to easily get 9 hrs screen on time with the apps I use on 4.3 on the 2014. Now on 4.4 I get 6 hrs.

I know software updates will always have bugs and problems, its how the company that produces the product handles the problems that keeps customers happy. I truely miss my nexus devices, but I also enjoy what benefits Samsung can bring. I hope they are listening to those of us having issues and try to fix them instead of the run around we are getting now
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blinkingled:

Granted the battery life sucked before switching to the Spain version of Kit Kat, but could never reproduce the Chromecast issues that are alleged.
