[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
It officially starts working the 17th with no firmware update (other than NF9) accoring to T-Mobile engineering reps who I have spoken with. It's probably a switch they flip on their end (or maybe more), but that's all they're saying for now.

4-6 weeks is what people are rumoring because that puts an update after Note 4 release and traditional Samsung usually waits for new device release to update old. We'll see what happens, but if the person has no sources and only 2 posts to XDA, then it's most likely speculation.

I don't anticipate an update unless they have some maintenance to do for the VoLTE/WiFi handover after it becomes live. 4.4.4 offers little to us and Samsung most likely fixed any major bugs 4.4.4 fixed (they have the ability to cherry pick). http://aosp.changelog.to for reference all the changes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MasterKaiser:
Running NF9 and everything works great, except the S5 messenger app, apparently it broke something in the contacts app, when I opened the contact app FC. I installed a third party app (white pages current) and from there I can see my contacts, other than that, work like a charm.

Thanks for this great rom!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
NP and I'm glad you're enjoying it. The contact app FC was most likely caused by a Wanam Xposed option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MasterKaiser:
You're the man bro! problem fixed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ponp74:

Hello Effortless, I Contacted Google About What You Said Concerning Them Not Releasing The Wallet Signature Keys And Our Build.Prop Triggering The Castrated Non NFC Wallet App. They Said That They're Going To Get Specialists On It As To Why It Isn't Working On The T-Mobile Note 3.

Hi, I just installed NF9 and I'm trying to create a back up with TWRP (2.8.0) but it is lagging to the point where I can't use it. The update was smooth with no issues but now TWRP is unusable. Anyone experience this? I'm trying to make a clean back up of stock NF9 then flash Effortless 8.0.

TWRP 2.8 has had that issue since release. A second release of it with same version number was released, but it still gets laggy from time to time.

Reboot to recovery from within TWRP recovery and you'll be good for that session

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: twrp

You are using either the wrong version of TWRP or an experimental version.

What you need is the TWRP 2.7.2.0 N900T version for Note 3.

Here is the direct download link for the correct version for Note 3 N900T:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/TWRP_2720.tar

Flash this using ODIN.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
TWRP 2.8

Neither wrong nor experimental. The official TWRP 2.8 for the hltetmo (T-Mobile N900T) was released a few days ago, it was buggy and so Teamwin released an updated version with the same version number (2.8) it appears as though they have updated their recovery once again today with an updated 2.8. Please download and flash this again (hopefully they worked out the lag).

Choose the appropriate link for whatever method you want to flash it:

Odin flashable TWRP 2.8 for 4.4

custom recovery flashable zip TWRP 2.8 for 4.4

This is official and released straight from TeamWin's site.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: twrp issue

All I can tell you is if you use the twrp 2.7.2.0 version you will no

longer have any problem with twrp..

I flashed the 2.8 version a few days ago and I had the exact same

lag problem you have described that's why I suggest not to use it.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sjancura:
The TWRP 2.8 2 version released today works perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
No problem. Hopefully they get back to you with good news soon. I think their answer is going to revolve around our NFC driver lacking HCE support. I've added the keys in the past and changed the build prop to a supported phone so that I download the NFC/tap to pay enabled version of wallet and when you go to pay, it doesn't work.

I use Softcard (ISIS) and it works fine if you really need a tap to pay solution. It's not Wallet, but it has nice promotions and it gets the job done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Works nice and fast. Here's the changelist for those that want it... notice the newer 2.8.0.0 fixed those touch and graphical errors.

What's new in 2.8.0.0:

Fix a bug that caused weird graphics and touch issues

What's new in 2.8.0.0:

Add MTP support to recovery thanks mostly to bigbiff with a little help from Dees_Troy

Add command line capabilities - you can now execute various TWRP features via adb instead of the touchscreen

Add support for color in the console and give error, warning, and highlight lines different colors

Track backup and restore progress based on file sizes to provide a much more accurate indication of progress

Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower

Improve setting of time on Qualcomm devices thanks to [NUT]

Allow using images on slidervalue GUI objects thanks to Tassadar

Allow using variables and addition and subtraction in variables for easier theming

Add support for 1440x2560, 280x280, and 320x320 resolutions and update 240x240

Allow ui.xml file to include additional xml files to help break up the theme and make TWRP easier to maintain

Other minor fixes and improvements

Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.

Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.

Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vazovskiiii:
Yes :( I have uninstall magazines

I will restore and check.

And what about youtube?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonsamus:
Thanks for the link! I'll try the new 2.8.2.0 and if it is still lagging I'll flash back to 2.7.2.0.

re: email fc

Strange, but I have both "my magazine" entries frozen using titanium backup

and I don't get force closes of email when I open/close email in my drop-down

notifications.

I used to have FC a while back using different roms, right now I am using

effortless rom and I do not use any mods which effect email and do not use

xposed or any of it's modules to mod/change anything having to do with

the stock email app.

So i just upgraded to NF9 baseband and build last night. How are you guys liking the effortless rom? Because im considering leaving DSV7 for this rom. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: upgrade

If you don't mind the 100% stock look and feel of this rom then it

would be a excellent upgrade. You can always use xposed/wanam

to get a bit of customization if you like or other compatible mods.

This rom is very xposed/wanam friendly and so far I have not

found any faults or issues in this rom at all.

Good luck!

Can I go ahead and flash Effortless rom. I went fully stock to NF9. I flashed tweaked but not working for me. My baseband is NF9 but build is NF4. Do I have to gi fully stock again in order to flash Effortless? I also did Triangle away when I went fully stock to NF9 and both build and baseband were NF9. But buid went down to NF4 after flashing tweaked. Thanks

Edit...problem solved with statusbar
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: NF9

You don't need to go back to NF4 at all since your bootloader/baseband

are already NF9.

Since Effortless rom is based on NF9 firmware your bootloader, baseband,

PDA and CSC will all be NF9 after you flash Effortless rom.

Just be sure to do a full wipe including data, system, cache, dalvik and last

but not least a factory reset for best results.

Not doing a full wipe can cause issues like FC's, bootloops and getting stuck

on the samsung logo during boot.

I'm having a this little problem with my wifi, just out-of nowhere it completely shuts off, like the switch is off and it connects to my network.. I would say it does it maybe 2 - 3 times a day.. I thought it was my router but it does it at work too. Any thoughts?

I'm on V8, lean kernel

I installed the rom but when i logged into gmail to get my contacts on the phone only some showed up. I went to my backup and they were there. Anyone else experience this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
Go into your settings of your contacts and switch the view to Samsung contacts or phone or Sim and see how many are in those areas and not in your Gmail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Did you install any power savings apps- Qualcomm's SnapDragon battery guru maybe? Also, check the settings for T-Mobile's own my account app, as it has settings that affect WiFi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JEOSGT5:
I don't have any power saving apps.. The only thing I use is the power save mode in the phone but I have always used that without any problems since I got my note. And I don't have the my account app installed.. I tried turning on and off the smart network switcher to see if it would do something still nothing.. Usually I can track down the problem but I'm stumped with this one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
I'm trying to think of anything else that would cause WiFi to turn off.

Some antivirus apps also turn WiFi off when battery gets low. Maybe someone else here can help? I haven't experienced this myself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
A thought that crossed my mind... did you flash a custom international kernel? I've seen that cause wifi issues....

Edit: never mind, read back a few posts.

Try flashing stock kernel back on and see if the problem persists without lean kernel.

You need to download merlins firmware if you haven't already... That 87u is 2x the power of the tmo router one(rt-ac68u). Your not going to notice a difference because your router has qos... Most people have cheap routers(by att or comcast) so this will help them greatly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Already on Merlin's :)... He's already looking into the TM-AC1900. I have qos, but it's not set to prioritize the WiFi calling. I've had the ac66u, ac68u, and the ac87u.

http://www.asus.com/supportonly/TM-AC1900/HelpDesk_Download/ is Asus' support site for the new router.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Admiral2145:
I download at my max speed(125mbit /15.3 megabytes a sec) and do wifi calling without voice quality issues... I own the rt-ac68u with merlins firmware, I really believe this isn't for people with high end routers already but, I could be wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sidneyk:
I already have a pretty decent Netgear router, but figured I might be able to use it somewhere else, perhaps as an extender to the Tmo one.

Continuing the off topic trend...

I was gonna wait for the ac3200 as well, but its primary purpose was to handle an abundant amount of mixed client usage.

The AC87u (ac2400) has more per-client bandwidth and has 33% more coverage area than the AC3200. It's a wave 2 AC device. The AC3200 just has an extra 3 antennae AC radio.
