[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper11:
I know there are multiple threads about rooting but I am thoroughly confused even after researching on here and google. I will be exchanging my phone for a new Sprint Note 3 today and just want to know what is the best way or program to root my note 3 since I've seen stuff about "tripping knox" which would void the warranty. My main purpose for rooting is to to get Adfree and extend battery life by using SuperSU, Greenify, and Titanium backup. I won't be doing any heavy usage and messing with much of the hardware other than minor tweaks for better battery life. I'll likely also be using the stock ROM since flashing a new or custom ROM is way over my head and I believe it would be easier to unroot if needed. Since I'm not vastly knowledgeable with this stuff, the simpler the better. Please be patient with my questions as I'm a newbie.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
You really need to start reading, and you should start from this place:

http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint

Pay attention to threads about the new towelroot method, since that one might be the only one that does not trip knox on 4.4.2 (if you get a phone with a very old firmware you might also use Universal Root De La Vega, but I know of little details on the Sprint model, you really need to do your reading in the specific Sprint Note 3 forum!).

Well people, the OTA doesn't look like it affected very much. I usually just flash whatever image from the factory image that I need because of the changes I make in the system but I just now decided for grins to flash the OTA and see if I would get any errors and I was pleasantly surprised to not see the "unexpected contents error." It happens, rarely, but it does happen. Running ElementalX kernel, busybox installed, modified calculator app in system/app, 4.4 sounds in system/media/audio/ui, modified mixer_paths.xml in system/etc, Z2 bionic and dalvik, running xposed and the OTA flashed with no errors! Woop Woop! Did have to flash the supersu zip in recovery. All good!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lotherius:
Somehow I don't expect that'll be what happens.

Considering there had to be a 4.4.2_r2 for deb before, I suspect that whatever inspired that (which was Verizon compatibility) is the holdup now.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bob Smith42:
Well, 4.4.4 does put us 2 releases behind now.

I can imagine a *good* developer working out a DRY unified patch (verizon & others) for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. But, along comes management and says either (a) verizon does not accept, or (b) others like att/t-mobile/etc do not accept. A drama ensues and we have big delays.

Anyway, "4.4.2 really?" is the perfect question to *pound* on google during IO. lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] PVL_93_RU:
There's a theory going around that it's Verizon that is to blame for the delay, but maybe it's not the reason

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] blipp:
Wow guys, calm down. Remember when they announced the N7 LTE? They had to stop selling it and then it took Verizon like 6 months to approve it before Google started selling it again. Verizon has to put the updates through their dumbass approval process too, which takes weeks. Hopefully Google did what Moto did and stopped the 4.4.3 update and just resubmitted a 4.4.2 directly to 4.4.4 update. Like others have said too, it's just a small security fix, it doesn't have any special features or anything.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] k3lcior:
Who gives a **** about Verizon?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lotherius:
That would be fine.

If I were a Verizon customer.

I'm NOT a Verizon customer, and Verizon can bend over and take it up the PR chute for all I care.

Saying it's Verizon's fault is hardly a "Guys calm down" type of thing. There are reasons many of us are not Verizon customers and this kind of carp is one of those reasons.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] blipp:
Sorry? My point was to not fly off the handle. They updated the wifi N7, they're going to update the LTE one. Regardless of which carrier you have it under, I'd assume that Google would want to update all the LTE devices at the same time, which means they would have to wait for the updates that for some reason have to go through a carrier (aka Verizon).

I know the feeling though. I am a Verizon customer, and it's annoying as hell when all the other Moto X's get updates and Verizon acts like an update doesn't exist and blames everyone else. Is it Moto or Google's fault? Clearly not.

The update will come. It's not like it's the next letter update to android though, so I'm just saying to not get too crazy about it

One of the big plusses of having Nexus devices is carrier-crap independence. To hear, not even being from the US, that a local carrier can hold up a critical security release is insulting.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Zwitterion:
I tried to like Blinkfeed but find that I don't use it, especially now that I use Apex Launcher. Seeing as Blinkfeed is baked into the OS, and that it can't be fully disabled, does anyone have thoughts on how to minimize any battery drain that the app may have? Is the most I can do simply to unsubscribe all feeds and remove it as a home screen?

Thanks for any guidance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nabbed:
Not sure if there's a way to disable auto-refresh, but you can set it to auto-refresh on wifi only.

That will help a little.

I have the impression that it drains very little battery though - it rarely refreshes on its own and I usually have to pull it down to do a manual refresh.

Been having a look at this, any good, what do you think?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Blufires:
This appears to be the same technology as Crizal Forte/Hoya Diamond spectacle lens coatings, which are scratch resistant, hydrophobic, oleophobic and anti-glare.

The IndieGoGo link claims:

"[Puracoat] is synthesized to be next only to gemstones in hardness". Softer than gemstones, such as the saphire coating on the Omate.

"...protect your entire device with one permanent application". This would be coating your screen in an easier to scratch material that cannot be removed.

but for the Moto devices, we will get something extra. since Moto G. there has been a weird battery drain problem. So I hope they fix that in 4.4.4 update
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
I have never had a battery drain issue with my Moto X which I bought soon after its release. Any update to 4.4.4 from 4.4.3 for the Moto X will only be a small update to fix the security issue and nothing else. If you haven't gotten the 4.4.3 update yet, since it is a larger update with a new kernel, that might be the fix for your battery issues. For a lot of Moto X users the 4.4.3 update will be rolled into 4.4.4 but for those of us who got 4.4.3 weeks ago it will only be a small update the same as the nexus devices..

[Moto X General] rudrapratap03:
Security Update + Battery Issue resolved

Dear you are right that this is the latest update of Android 4.4.4. The main reason behind this update is that recently after the launch of Kitkat, a security virus named "Heartbleed" bug Google managed to remove that issue with this update.

Along with the security issue, many more improvements are also done in Android. The UI improvement is given for more better interface, Also the issue of fast battery draining while using the camera is also resolved with this update. But unfortunately, this update is only offered in Nexus series. No other product is having this update currently.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
the dialer is available all over the interwebs

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------

The AOSP changelog for 4.4.4 contains only security fixes there are no fixes for camera or battery issues. Since it is only available for nexus devices no one knows yet what other fixes a manufacturer might put into it for their individual devices. This update also isn't about heartbleed it is another vulnerability in open ssl that was just discovered after heartbleed was already patched.
[Moto X General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Yeah but that's the Google dialer. Not the moto x one. It might be the same in some ways but the Google dialer force closes on some actions on the moto x
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] NaxIonz:
So, my battery is wack... and I think it's only been acting like this since I went to a KK ROM? Maybe? Feels like it...

I've had this tablet since it was released last fall, and this behavior is very recent.

Anyways, it dies FAST. Like nose dives in a matter of 5-15 minutes. What's even weirder, is that sometimes, if I power cycle the device, it'll jump up by 30-60%. But then just dies again in another 5-15 minutes.

And there's a screenshot after I just power-cycled.

It jumped from 11% to 71%!!

Crazy!

I've also tried letting it get to 5% then charging it to 100%, done that twice. No luck. I don't know if this is related, but if I power it completely off, and plug it in, it turns on... kinda weird. My Note 3 doesn't do that, it just stays off and shows the battery charge indicator.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Rupar4o:
Hi, I have similar problem and I am with 4.3 android. I have battery loss when I play games. It drops to 2-3% really fast and after reboot it goes up to 35-40%. Once I fully depleted my battery and charge it. This time there were no battery lost. After the second charging problem persists.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] vashminted:
same here

I have a similar problem with my p600. the tablet is new, got it since a month or less.

at first i was amazed of the battery life i use it a lot for work writing documents and sheets on excel, battery used to perfom quite well giving me more than 5 hours of screen on, but recently the battery starts to drop very fast, now i can barely get around 2 hours of screen on.

i've already done 2 cycles of full discharge and then charge it completely with the tablet turned off. but the problem stills.

also sometimes when i reboot the tablet the battery goes from i.e 20% to 40% after the reboot.

im still looking for a fix or solution, today i found a new official firmware for my model (4.4 firmware for telcel mexico). going to wait until the tablet is fully charged and then flash the new firmware. I dont know if its going to help but i got nothing to lose.

by the way, sending it to semsung is not an option because of knox 0x1

Sorry to bump this, has anyone found a solution yet.

I've replaced the battery 3 times in about 9 months, but had this issue about a yr, was sent back to Samsung who changed the battery and supposedly updated the fw 4.4.2, I have since replaced the battery another 3 times every 3 months, each time either factory resetting or flashing a new rom, currently on official Smp600 5.1.1 BTU rom, today my battery was on 47%, I plugged in charger and was watching/streaming a movie on it, about 80 minutes later the tablet shut off, which was odd it's never powered off while on charge, powered it back on and battery said 19%, my previous issues has been the same as others, it can be on 100%, play a game, or stream a movie,or watch youtube etc and it will nosedive dramatically 20/30% at a time, sometimes within 10 mins it's gone from 100% to less than 30%, it's clear there's some sort of issue if others have it, I was wondering if a thread should be made to list ppl with this issue to see how many there are and go from there.

So I just picked up my new Verizon LG G2 yesterday and already looking to root and flash a new ROM. I have noticed that you lose the KnockOn/Off feature when you change the stock launcher and even the lock screen, so what I'm looking to find out (like the title states), are there any ROMs that support KnockOn/Off? Searched through a few different ROMs and couldn't find specifics. Really don't want to lose that feature.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dameon45:
Knock on always will work. It's like a default I've noticed. Knock off ours where it gets tricky. You can use Apex launcher and customize the double tap gesture and download an app in the market for screen off and program that to the double tap gesture. That's what i use on custom Roms.

[Q] What to do when you accidentally use your 64gb card to "Make a bootable sd card"

Leapinlar's "Installing CyanogenMod 10.1/10.2 for Dummies" guide was very helpful to me in getting CM 10.1.3 onto my Nook HD+.

Unfortunately, due to me not reading all the way through the guide before using it, I used my 64gb sd card as the bootable card to install CyanogenMod 10.1.3.

The guide says its generally a good idea to keep this card in its bootable state in case the Nook ever fails to boot sometime.

Is there any way to take the data on my 64gb sd card and make an exact copy of it to put on another card? Or better yet is it possible to take the data off the card and save it on my PC, and then later use win32diskimager to make the card bootable again if needed?

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Obviously I don't intend on leaving my 64gb sd card as a mostly useless wafer for the rest of its life lol.
