I am not seeing much difference in 4.4

What I have noticed - It seems the status icons (wifi, 4g, battery etc..) have been changed to black and white from having some color. I don't like this. Can the Icon Glossary be changed without root?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] forstir9:
I personally like the all white icons.

Read about the dialer here...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ginger man:
That one is nexus and Google edition phones only. I wanted it too. [emoji20]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Trigster:
So..first full day with it. MUCH shorter battery life. I normaly would get 3.6 hour on onscreen time.

Almost an hour lost of battery life. :mad:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Hulk0069:
That's the nexus 5 not the note 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] forstir9:
Why does it matter what phone they are showing? The title says it's the Kit Kat dialer...it doesn't say Nexus dialer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BlastTyrantKM:
I'm not rooted and got the update OTA 2 days ago. After 2 days with kitkat battery life for me is way worse. I lost 54% battery last night with data and wifi turned off. No idea what could've drained it. I read in one of the reviews for Note 3 kitkat, that a full factory reset after the update fixes the battery drain issue. I may try that this weekend if it doesn't clear up by then.

The kitkat dialer is only Nexus & GPE phones. Samsung has their own dialer.

But on the plus side, the phone is noticeably faster with kitkat. Google Now Launcher works fine, and also makes the phone a bit faster as well. On 4.3, when clicking the Google microphone, there was a couple second pause before the "Speak Now" prompt came up. Now, it's there instantly. To get the Google Now Launcher I created a backup of the recently updated version on my Nexus 7 and transferred it to my phone and installed. Everything works
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] forstir9:
I figured Samsung or Verizon is the one that changed the dialer. Some people like the Kit Kat one and some people hate it.

I am not seeing much difference with my battery life at all. I keep mine plugged in all night and at certain times through my day at work. I went to my brothers yesterday and cell signals at his place is just about non-existent and my past phones would die there with a quickness...My Note 3 did really well there and i didn't notice a drain at all. This weekend will be a true test as I am away from charging ports much more often.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BlastTyrantKM:
This is my battery since kitkat update, 4th charge cycle. With 1:02hr screen on time. Terrible
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] igotgame:
That is pretty bad.. I'm still on 4.3 and this is mine with 1 hour 16 minutes screen on time:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BlastTyrantKM:
My battery was pretty much the same as yours when I was on 4.3. I would typically get 24 hrs with around 6hrs screen time. So far kitkat isn't even half that. Maybe it needs a few days to settle in. IDK...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Paul1201:
Direct dial widgets & Google Now Launcher

Do you use direct dial widgets with the Google Now Launcher? I keep getting "App not installed" when I try to use them on my home screen. I've done a bit of research about it and it's the Samsung dialer that's causing the problem but I haven't been able to find a way to get the direct dial widgets to work. Contact widgets and direct text widgets work so I've been making do by using contact widgets but would rather use direct dial widgets.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] igotgame:
Yea I actually tried to update to kit kat but it failed I believe because I've used safestrap in the past... Honestly.. I'm glad it did fail. Battery life is one of the most important things to me and on 4.3 it's outstanding.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thekyguy11:
So far, I like the changes that Kit Kat brings to the Note 3. It fixed a few things for me, but messed up a few things as well.

Intermittently, when I try to turn the screen on, there is a full 3 second lag between me pushing the button and the screen actually coming on. Didn't do this before.

Also, when I'm finished with a phone call, I pull the phone away from my head to tap "end" and the screen fails to turn itself on. If I hit the power button to turn on the screen, it turns on, but by that point the other cashier had already hung up.

Could these two issues be related? Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BlastTyrantKM:
I'm happy to report my battery is back to normal. I went thru all the settings one by one and found numerous things that I had disabled before were turned on after the update. Several Google Now options that I don't use, were turned on. A secondary account that I have on my phone that I keep sync off completely until I need it, was set to sync. And several other random settings, but I think the ones I mentioned were the biggest problems draining the battery.

I'm not experiencing any screen issues. The screen turns on immediately when I click either the power or home button. It comes on instantly when I take the phone away from my head during a call.

Now that I've got this battery thing straightened out, I'm loving my phone again. And kitkat makes it run better than ever. Transitions & Animations are faster and smoother. Things open quicker and more fluid. And it's nice having the Google camera...

There's really no good reason to not update...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] skny:
Basic Visual Voice Mail

So "Basic" Visual Voicemail is now "free" after the update, eh? Cool. That's the first thing I noticed.

Says you can have up to 20 3-minute phone calls stored. Buh-bye Google Voice...1 less app I need to have installed now.

Groovy.

Although I just set it up (removed my Google Voice) and during setup - it said something about "trial for Premium Visual Voice Mail"...so I logged into my account - went to Features - add the "Basic Visual Voice Mail" which was free - and it removed the Premium trial automatically...they almost got me there!

And no one mentioned emoji's - those are always fun...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tom108:
Because the note 3 has a skinned OS from Samsung. It is not a vanilla android experience. Many of the native android apps have been changed as Samsung sees fit. It is only found on the nexus 5.

Once a day or so I'll just randomly lose all mobile data/voice/sms access and have to restart my phone to clear it up. Anyone else seeing this? I've talked to other people who have samsung vzw phones with 4.4.2 update and they are seeing similar problems.

This needs to be fixed.

I am on mobile data all day at work. While I am at my desk the signal strength is not too good (Been that way with all phones I have had). I have never seen the issue you have talked about. Dos the mobile data come back at all or only if you do a reboot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thekyguy11:
Update: I have fixed both of the issues I was having since the update. As I suspected, both problems were related. I was using "S for switch voice" in conjunction with S voice, and for some reason one of the two was causing the problems I had. I disabled the "wake when screen off" settings, then I stopped, cleared cache and data for S for switch voice, rebooted, then re-enabled both apps/functions. Problems solved!

Edit: after some time has passed, it's beginning to lag again. I'm going to try removing S for switch voice completely and see if that does it. If not, then it must be S voice causing problems.

Update 2: it seems that neither S voice or S for switch voice is causing the problems. I have disabled both and the problem still persists. It's strange, if I lock the screen and try to unlock it shortly after, it's fine. If the phone sits for a while, it lags real badly... 3-5 seconds for the screen to turn on.

Update 3: it was the SD card all along. I removed it and now all problems are gone. Idk why it was never a problem until the update, but somehow it is now. It was an old, slow SD card, and I wasn't storing anything on it, so I won't miss it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] forstir9:
You will need to call Verizon! That doesn't sound good at all. Have you done a reboot of your phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sathanvs:
I did several reboots. Called and talked to tier 1 and tier 2 tech support. Went to the verizon store and they gave me a new nfc sim card which didn't help. They did a factory reset on the phone and now I can't even use it on wifi because it won't activate at all. I'm seriously considering leaving samsung now. I can't even flash back to 4.3 because it's technically on kitkat now. Best of all. I had the phone fixed and they took the white lcd and back off and put a black one on so it looks like no insurance or warrantee claims.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] reaverclan:
This has really made me upset my phone is extremely sluggish now in all animation aspects even with them all set to .05x. The notification pull down is super slow to come up and down, it used to be instantaneous. Any one else notice this. I want to go back to 4.3 is that even possible with ODIN now?

At the moment once you take the ota update for kitkat your out of luck for now. Verizon found a way to really lock it down with kitkat.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BlastTyrantKM:
Try doing a full factory reset. I read that it solves little glitches after updating. My phone was working fine, but had horrible battery life after the update. I went thru settings and found some things that were switched on by default. It improved things noticeably, but my battery was still draining kinda quickly. I did a factory reset and things are way smoother now, and great battery life. I got 7hr40min screen time on my last battery cycle, and animations are smooth as silk

Anyone else have issues charging the phone? I let it die, and had it plugged in for over 3 hours and it's only at 62% charge. I'm so pissed about this since it used to take about 1.5 hours to charge

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] forstir9:

Yeah but I think all is fine now, must have been the initial set up. Not sure really, but I charged it again and seems to be going much faster. BTW I hate that you can't long press the period and get the comma coming up right away anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] forstir9:
I try to use stock keyboards but I haven't found anything that works quite as good as Swype...I hated getting rid of the numbers row in the process though. On Swype the period and comma are on opposite sides of the space bar, no long press.

Although I really and I mean really miss the ability to flash things I must say kk runs super smooth. Battery life for me is more then awesome. I bought my note 3 4 days ago and yes it came 4.4.2 out the box. Mad yes somewhat but knowing this is no different regardless of the fear this notion being portrait concerning kk and if we can root or not it's worth it and yes we will have a root within the next few weeks. Reminds me of my iPhone jailbreak days every time apple released a new supposedly secure firmware what happened a week or so later lol a jailbreak.

Hi Guys,

I was told to post my question in Q/A section (apologies for not RTFM). I was also told that I need to go back down to ML1 to get root on the device. Given I've updated to NC1, how do I go back down? Does anyone have a working ML1 stock ROM that I can flash via Odin? A link or reference would be much appreciated!

If i look into the settings for this app, it leads me to believe that I don't necessarily need HTC's car dock in order for the car app to automatically launch as long it connects with the bluetooth in my car? I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu and 2012 Chevy Traverse that this is happening on...

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjhuffer:
You don't have to buy the dock but the music and bluetooth will only start when the app is auto launched either with the dock or a special usb cord with some of the wires bridged with resistors. Starting the app by hand doesn't initiate the settings. I don't know why HTC did this but it's just the way it is. You can get the cable below or make one with an extra usb cable. I used to have a dock for my Evo4GLTE and I can verify the car app setting will work when auto launched.

Hi, I am currently using Slimbean 4.3.1 on my phone with a baseband version T989DTLMC4 .. When I am making calls I hear a garbled "alien" voice .. sort of like it's coming from underwater.. and the guy from the other end hears it too!!

sadly I have the same issue here...it has to do with calls over 3g.
