[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EM1336:
Successfully rooted

Follow-up post to help other newbies:

Initially my T230NU was at about 85% battery strength. I charged to 100%. I don't know if this made any difference.

Downloaded Replace_Vroot_with_SuperSU on my PC, unzipped, and copied its mrw folder onto the T230NU.

On T230NU, downloaded and installed SuperSU from Google Play Store.

Tried Vroot yet again, and this time saw a dialog box that hadn't appeared previously; something like "Grant full access to all device features and storage?" Clicked OK or Yes.

Downloaded, installed, and opened Android Terminal Emulator.

Typed su after the $ prompt.

ATE reports "Terminal emulator has been granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell" and prompt changes to #.

# cd sdcard -----> /sdcard

# ls

mrw appears in the list.

# cd mrw -----> /sdcard/mrw

# ls

root.sh appears in the list.

# sh root.sh

I saw several messages that looked like errors, "rm failed [something-or-other]" and "no such file or directory".

After a few seconds, the T230NU reboots.

Installed Root Checker Basic from Google Play Store and verified root access.

Uninstalled the Chinese Vroot app from Settings - Application Manager.

After doing all of this, I was finally able to use ES File Explorer to rename system/media/audio/ui/shutter.ogg to shutter.ogg.bak and turn off my T230NU's extremely annoying camera shutter sound. Thanks everyone for posting instructions on how to root this device.

Friend I will help you out. Go to the top of this page, to the most liked column, click on the top one (Sunnyside).

Goto post #88

Read the part about using the terminal emulator....... download the file and follow the instructions.

Once this is done you will still have the chinese app shown in your list of apps..... simply uninstall it.

And remember, although I also removed it, that Chinese peice of crap is how we got the phone rooted in the first place.

It takes about 1:30 minutes to have the phone up and running and almost 2 minutes to actually have everything loaded.

[Moto X Q&A] DANIEL AMBRUSO:
What's the difference between a hard reset and a factory reset? I want to know it. Please anyone solve this..
[Moto X Q&A] :
I think you mean hard reboot. Which is a normal reboot.

Never heard of hard reset.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I've never really heard of "hard reset" before for a cell phone.

If by "Hard Reset" you really mean Hard Reboot or cold boot it would be... power off/on.. or use the reboot option in an app like Quick Boot (reboot)

A "soft reboot" is where you press/hold the power button on the X, and from the pop-up say "restart" which closes apps and stops a few services and restarts (kind of like what happens in windows when explorer.exe crashes). The device doesn't completely shut down or shut off. It more or less just restarts some services.

If it really is "hard reset" then please supply the context or where it was used so we can better understand and explain it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capa1970:
I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy S3. I am due for an AT&T upgrade early July. I was really leaning towards the new Galaxy S5 but then I saw that I could get a Note 3 for the same price. I am really torn. The advantages I see with the Note 3 are:

---32 GB hard drive space vs 16 GB in S5

---3 GB ram vs the 2 GB that the S5 has

---larger screen

---bottom speaker (which I personally prefer to rear speakers)

The advantages I see for the Galaxy S5 are:

---a better camera (though I would love to hear just how much better)

---easier to handle with one hand

---water resistance

---apparently a screen that is brighter and slightly more accurate

I would like to hear from those who have had both and would like to elaborate or mention more advantages with either device. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4aces:
First it's about size difference. If you dislike a big phone you better don't buy a note. Everything else is a lot better on the note!!! For the same price and if the size is ok for u I would even prefer the note over the s5.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capa1970:
I went to an AT&T store yesterday and messed with a Note 3 for a while. The screen is humongous but the Galaxy S5 isn't too far from the same size with a much smaller screen.

I've liked everything about my Galaxy S3 except battery life (I now have a 3500 mah battery) and heating issues when doing gaming with, for example, Minecraft, even at its lowest graphical setting. I just can't game for more than 15-20 minutes on this phone without it getting extremely hot. Screen temperatures easily reach 100 within that time span.

Yesterday, I played Dead Trigger on the Note 3 for about 15 minutes. The phone did get quite warm on the screen side opposite the camera. It wasn't as bad as my S3 but it was a tad disappointing. Unfortunately the S5 next to it didn't have Dead Trigger on it and so I couldn't do a "heat" comparison.

BTW, hearing a lot about GPS issues and some suggesting not to upgrade to KitKat. Has the GPS issue been fixed without me having to run a custom ROM?

Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4aces:
I haven't had any GPS issues on the Note 3, but I wouldn't base your decision on the GPS anyway since it's a problem which can be fixed. Like I said before it's about your preference. Try to focus on the things you really need/want to see on your device and look also for different Android phones. There are so many good devices on the market and if you can wait there will be some more beasts coming in the next couple of months!!! Me personally god used to the size and smaller devices feel like toys when I use them.

From what I heard you need a better battery life and good gaming and over all performance. Something else?(music, camera)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capa1970:
Thanks for the reply. Battery life, no exaggerated heat when gaming, camera, very good speakers, and removable battery are the most important things to me. I absolutely love the HTC M8 but the camera and non-removable battery kill it for me. I would really love to have front speakers, but the other candidate, Sony Z2, has bezels too big for my taste.

I am waiting on more information on the LG G3 and this Galaxy Prime that I keep on hearing about. As mentioned earlier, I am due for an upgrade in early July and so I have time to really think about things but I like doing my research months in advance instead of last second.

I mentioned to my brother that I was considering the Note 3 and he said that is has reception issues---dropped calls, weak signal, etc. I googled it and there were some threads on the subject. Any comments on this potential issue?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manemzjum:
Weak signals and dropped calls would be a network issue not really a handset issue

I came from a s3 to a note 3 and I'll never look back anything smaller feels miniscule now initially took time to adjust to the size of the screen but now I can't see me ever using a smaller device

Battery has served me well get a full day out of it no problem

You won't find a phone that won't heat up while gaming it's impossible to cool a device operating at full power without some sort of cooling mechanics other than heatsinks

Phone will take anything you throw at it and then some
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I own both. (I'm using my S5 as a glorified mp3 player these days, as the screen is too small for me.) Much prefer the Note 3.

The camera on the S5 is in no significant way better than that on the Note 3. I'm an actual photographer so I haven't used any of the filters, and I set everything manually, but in term of picture quality, both are rubbish in low light. In bright light they're near equal.

In terms of screen the S5 is smaller with a higher pixel density. You can only see it when you're about 2cm away from your screen. The colours are slightly more saturated on the S5. (That's a matter of preference, I prefer somewhat more normal colours. Mainly because I can't stand the ghastly Touchwiz colours on the S5.)

Each phone heats up whilst gaming. That's what happens when the plastic case serves as the heatsink without any other fan or coolant. Particularly if you're holding it. The more powerful the device, the more it heats up.

I have no issues with GPS on KitKat. It locks quickly, is stable and has no satelite loss. Call reception is also fine, any drops in signal is entirely due to the sometimes hilariously bad coverage of my provider. (I've nagged them about that. Repeatedly. In person, at their HQ, to the network manager. No luck.)

The S5 is a bit better at handling drops and bumps. The Note 3 is a bit more fragile, so if you lead an active lifestyle or you're clumsy, consider a case.

If you have the time, I would indeed suggest waiting for the S5 Prime before making your choice. http://www.sammobile.com/2014/05/09...ith-qhd-display-snapdragon-805-android-4-4-3/
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4aces:
That is exactly how I compare the two devices just a lot more detailed lol.

In September/October should be the note 4 release and if I wouldn't have the note 3 now I would definitely wait. (I will probably still upgrade cause of my cell phone interest/addiction)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capa1970:
Guys, thanks for the replies and, Shadow Lea, thanks for the detailed comparison! I'm sure that it is close, but which one would you say has better battery life?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakunclear:
I myself have always found the note series vs the s series that the note had way better battery life and camera wise your photos will about the same but since you due in July wait for note 4 or the s5 prime
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I'd say they're fairly even matched. The S5 is smaller, but has a smaller battery. I do feel my Note 3 lasts a bit longer, but maybe because I put more effort into extending the batterylife.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capa1970:
I am seeking some clarity. Exactly which Snapdragon 800 chipset is in the AT&T Galaxy Note 3? This article assumes that it is the variant with ram clocked at 933 MHz and the GPU at 550 MHz:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/snapdragon-801-performance-xperia-z2,3777-3.html

However, I've seen articles that have the ram at 800 MHz and the GPU at 450 MHz. Which is correct?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nviz22:
Don't buy the current S5 as Samsung is going to release a better version of it with a better chipset and more RAM and Quad HD display. The Note 3 is just as good for photos, has the S-Pen, speakers at the bottom as stated before, 128 GB Micro SD slot, same screen resolution, more RAM, and almost the same processor speed. W/ the S5, you're just getting features the Note 3 will get sometime later in the year, waterproofing (case can solve that w/ good research), and an easier device to carry around. People joke about my Note 3 a bit saying it's too big, but I honestly don't care because most people use that crappy iPhone 4S or something miniscule.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
IMO just wait for the Note 4 right now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barneyabz:
First off - prefer the Note 3 because of the larger screen, however one thing that the others haven't mentioned is that the S5 comes with Kitkat which has restricted access to the SD card. The note 3 might still come with android 4.3 (if you are lucky) which allowed full access to the SD card. Obviously if you don't use the SD card than this is of no interest however if you do then, to me, this is a really important issue. Fortunately I jusy got my phone on a two year contract so I have at least 19 months before I have to worry! (as long as I don't press the firmware upgrade button by mistake!) Hope Google put something better in place in android 4.5 or android 5 or reverse this stupid decision.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4aces:
What restriction r u talking about? I'm on kk.

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] if you get the chance compare it hands on. I heard a lot of people disliking the size of a note!!! It is most important that u like your phone and feel comfortable or else u regret spending money on it and start threats about strange issues u have in the forum;) Good luck with your decision. And as I said before at least wait for the note 4 if the screen size isn't a problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barneyabz:
Google kitkat sd card issues tons of complaints. Someone has even started a petition. Although you can save your photos and music to the sd card all apps must save to a single app specific directory and are not allowed to write to other directories. E.g.take a photo with your phone them try and edit it with another programme. Because you aren't allowed to save it to the original directory you will end up with two copies in different locations. Also when you uninstall an app any data on the sd card will be deleted! Right pain in the ...neck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Seriously the SD card issue isn't a big deal. The only problem is for old apps. But if you're using a new device, you should download apps that are optimized for your OS instead of running old apps anyways.

If the developer didn't bother with an update for a big permission change then obviously it's a sign that you should find a new app because If the app was like a banking app or something related to work, and they didn't update to 4.4 permissions, then how would you rely on them when a huge exploit for the app is released which leaked all your passwords and vital information?

Rooting allows for you to bypass this, but in all honesty, the play store is filled with new apps that always get updated weekly (especially File sharing apps) and you should use those instead. I understand not everyone can do this, but by choosing to buy a 4.4 device (even if you did an update you should have read up about changes), you automatically assume 4.4 features to be what you will live with.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barneyabz:
It's ok. I bought a 4.3 device and read about the changes in 4.4 so I haven't updated. Personally I wanted my phone and next tablet to replace a Windows PC. Android 4.4 won't work for me. So I'll stay on 4.3 until warranty is up then upgrade and root. Next tablet will be a windows 8 not android.
