[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afextwin:
I'm running ToroEOS final build for TORO on an unlimited 4g contract vzw line. I use more bandwidth than screentime and average less than 2 hours screen time a day. 9-12 hours is the most I can get out of the stock battery (which is 30+ months old). This device is old, it is based on a VIA chipset that uses licensed Qualcomm 4G technolgy, I don't complain about real world statistics because I understand what this device is.

Not pissed about my bluntness? Good, it was not intended to be rude, please continue reading.

I use about 0.5GB - 2GB a day, I do not use WiFi, period. I would assume that I am getting excellent battery life, especially considering my abnormally moderate to high data usage (which is in spite of verizon removing unlimited + subsidized upgrade) and how it relates to the age of the device and the new-ness of LTE technology.

I've never bothered to look at the battery or screen stats, but I can say with 100% certainty after owning this device for close to 3 years that you will not be able to use a stock or any other battery AND BE A HEAVY DATA USER and get battery life > 1 day. I did not go to college for this nor do I work in the industry (semi-conductor/micro-coprocessor industry), but my real world experience has proven that this old device with an old 4g radio is one of the most inefficient devices made. Also, it gets hot enough to fry an egg and I have used 7 of these i515's, the radio sucks - a hot radio equals a fast draining battery, period.

Sadly, with all that being said, VERIZON has not yet allowed or released a legit unlocked-bootler + stock android device since the GNEX.

Good luck brother, may I recommend tethering to a tablet from sprint? They are cheap (free tab3 7.0" w/ contract) and the 5$ - 25MB monthly data plan for tablets is only $12 after tax and sprints assraping surcharges. ....

If you had this device when it was first launched, or even in its first year of existence, then you may remember 50Mb/s downloads and 80Mb/s uploads. We were early adopters and our memories have been jaded by marketing and disillusioned by our past experience. No device compares to ours as far as physical ownership goes (unlocked, rooted, etc.), yet almost all devices are spec'd better than ours. It is a sad and lonely lost cause.

/just another GNEX user clutching to the past.

[MENTION=3525753]afextwin[/MENTION]

For some reason I REALLY enjoyed reading that post. Wonderful wording. Are you a writer or something? Lol I also remember those crazy speeds.I got mine a few months after launch. That was around the time vzw had a couple LTE blackouts followed by full service blackouts. After the iPhone lte launch the network has never been the same.

I now have no carrier on my Gnex and use strictly WiFi with airplane mode on. Which has resulted in the only "good" battery life on this device. That is certainly a testament to the horrid drain the radio on this device can cause.

And to the OP. There are plenty of "stable" ROMs to choose from. Even many labeled as nightly's are plenty good and stable enough to run as a daily driver OS on the Gnex due to its great support from developers who have hashed out many issues long ago :)

The rom run fines for me.

My only and BIG problem that I have is that it gives me low internal memory! It indicates 19GB but when you install 4 or 5 apps the memory is running out of space.

I contacted techsupport ofHDC and told me that a new rom is coming soon with the problem fixed.

I have a question before I up date my verizon galaxy note 3 to kitkat ok we can only use safestrap v3.72 on kitkat and you do note have any rom slots that work so are you just flashing over your stock rom every time you want to flash a new rom like jellybean or whatever or am I miss understanding
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garnet&gold:
yes, you flash into the stock slot using safestrap 3.72 following a full wipe. I suggest making a backup first. You can only flash kitkat roms while on 3.72 if you want to go back to JB, it is my understanding you need to odin back.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garnet&gold:
Correct, you cannot use any rom slot besides stock right now and yes you can restore a back up to your stock slot.

I think if you are usingSS v3.65 it only supports JB, and once you flash the KK update SS is no longer supported. At least that's the way I understood it.

Because samsung or whomever is taking forever to update my region to kitkat i would like to flash another regions FW to get KK

So will flashing another regions stock firmware downloaded from sammobile with odin trip KNOX?

Much thanks for any help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
stock firmware, will not trip knox.

only when you flash something which is not digitally signed by samsung, it will trip KNOX (e.g : root, custom recover, custom ROM).

otherwise, it should be fine. I'm running other country region sometimes, and no problems (though my KNOX is tripped already when I root my device :p)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Just be aware that once you go to KK you won't be able to go back to JB. I say this as the stock experience isn't stellar with the sd card problem - 3rd party apps not being able to write to external sd card. Stock KK has this problem while it is fixed for rooted roms...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
As stated above, Official ROM's will not harm Knox. The question you should be asking is, why do you want to flash KK? Go look at the rest of the Q&A section and see just how many issues people are having with v4.4.x ROM's.And it has been MONTHS and still they have the issues.Omega ROM is traditionally a very good platform - go check the thread and see what problems they are having.

If you want to play with your phone, KK is not needed - I've been keeping an eye on what's around and I've stayed with v4.3 simply because I have root, Philz custom recovery, Lean kernel and the Alliance ROM v2 and my phone flies. It is stable, everything works including SDCard and OTG devices and with light use I get up to 4 days of battery. Even heavy use at 3 hours screen on gives me more than 2 days.

When Samsung gets its **** together and fixes KK, or maybe releases a functional version 5, I will think about upgrades, but for now I ahve the best of all worlds so why would I go changing for something lots of people are having issues with?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I'm not having issues myself, but then again as I said I rooted it and am running a custom rom. You need to look around to find the rom that works for you... I'm still using the Androidnow rom, unfortunately it was pulled and the dev has gone, for one phone and quite like the Assassin rom on another.... Yes I have 2 Note 3's... One for daily use and one for when flashing goes wrong...

Both roms are fine with little to complain about. Battery life is excellent and everything working as it should. :laugh:

Stock on the other hand may be a different story...:(

Oh, and its not just Samsung, google is responsible for the troubles with the sd card - they put in the new feature whereby a 3rd party app can't write to the external card unless properly signed (then only into it's own folder that will get wiped if the app is uninstalled) for "security reasons", not the unending push to get rid of sd card and use the cloud exclusively....

Things I have tried...

Taken the apn-conf.XML from the stock TW and replacing the kk conf.xml.

Taken the a conf.XML from the working jb also ROM and replacing the km one.

Tried the app APN backup and restore with no luck. And there is no way to manually enter the APN on the ST s3. Im stumped as it works fine with 4.3.. So I. Sure there is a fix I'm overlooking or don't know enough to fix. Thanks in advance.
