Because I want to do my due diligent research before I start messing with root, which takes time. But I'm very busy now, so if I can safely put this off until my schedule frees up, I will. It sounds like I can just keep declining the update until I'm ready to root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] devochka:
I am on MJE rooted. Flashed the NJ6 modem and have the WiFi connection issue -- the phone will not remember my passwords. When I enter them manually, the phone connects and all seems well. I tried the method above (edit build.prop) and it did NOT work for me.

As I read somewhere previously, I removed the battery from the phone for 20+ seconds after the modem flash as well.

Any further suggestions? If my phone won't automatically connect to remembered WiFi, I will likely downgrade the modem.

Thanks!

Do you have time to go to the bathroom? After a fresh wipe of my phone i rerooted using towelroot while i was sitting on the can. I had it rooted, safestraped and had titanium back up running before i walked out of the bathroom. I dont run any of the custom roms anymore i just use xposed and titanium back up to customize and shut 90% of the bloatwiz apps off.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] amebiasis:
Just figured I'd report. On NC4 with the new modern and no WiFi bugs but a much more stable and what seems to be like faster speeds (could be just because I actually have a much more stable connection though). I just Odin flashed the modem, then in safe strap wipe my davlic cache, my actual cache, then fixed permissions.

I'm on NC2 4.4.2 but I also just finished flashing and testing NJ6 Modem. So far so good. I was able to tether to my ipad with no issues and connecting to home wifi worked flawl3ssly.

root 4.4.4

If I have 4.4.4 and don't care about the warranty, is there anything I can do about rooting, or replace the stock rom with another rom ?

or I'm stuck until a root comes to this version ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] murmur70:
You are stuck for now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] RiceRocket954:
Hopefully it won't be much longer for root on 4.4.4. Here is an interesting article: http://www.techworm.net/2014/12/new-fakedebuggerd-android-vulnerability.html
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hirak99:
Is there any way to prevent such activity once the device is rooted?

In particular, I wonder if Towelroot can do its thing if run on an already rooted device - or will it be detected and asked by the Super SU!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmontalvo248:
towelroot

remember guys Geohot create this Towelroot but now July 16, 2014, Google reportedly hired George Hotz to work in their software security auditing team. Called Project Zero, so maybe this is the reason Towelroot not update yet
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] warriorpluto:
Yep and since geohot is the best hacker and did what no one else could do, I guess we won't be seeing root. In sure he's finding loopholes and closing them. But more power to him. Get that money geohot

4.4.4 OTA

Being that there isn't much development going on, after i got a replacement unit (dropped my old rooted unit into water) running NC4, i decided to go ahead and update to NJ6. Outside of the bloatware, which i tried to disable as much as possible, the update seems quite good.

4G signal is a lot more stable - it doesn't switch over to 3G as often when in a spotty area. Usage time has definitely improved by a lot (probably 4-4.5 hours on-screen time regularly, using mostly 4G with some wifi mixed in). It's definitely not as good as when it was on MJE, but so much better than NC4, which was getting 2.5-3 hrs for me, regardless of what rom and modem i was using. The overall performance seems a bit snappier also.

So in short, i will gladly stay on NJ6 and sacrifice root, which wasn't too beneficial for me for this particular device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hirak99:
So you will not be able to remove bloatware - NFL Mobile, Tripadviser, Verizone Tones, Caller Id, Verizon Cloud, Visual Voicemail,...

You will not be able to get control over permissions - if a calculator app happens to request access to phone log, and internet, and location, your only options will be to not install it, or to install it.

I will gladly keep my root than to "upgrade" to Android 5.

May be I will actually switch to Sprint, if Android 5.5 comes up with something to offer that I cannot refuse.

And the list goes on.

You will not be able to remove ads from Youtube (or elsewhere without running an app proxy all the time).

You will not be able to backup your app's data, or do a full phone backup.

If your ROM makers didn't think you are allowed to, you cannot turn the camera shutter sound off.

You have an external SD slot, but you cannot really use it.

You cannot automatically switch to airplane mode at night with Tasker or Llama.

You cannot enable auto-rotate display by 180 degrees.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] old_guy:
I blew it

So I bought a note 3 via ebay to replace a galaxy s3 I had and when 1st powered up, it gave me the new software available and like a fool I said yes without thinking. So now I am at 4.4.4 and it looks like no hope of rooting (yuck). First question, am I correct so far? i.e. no hope of rooting and no custom ROMs? 2nd question, where do I monitor for possible future root and customization methods? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hirak99:
Hi -

1. As of now there is no way to root, or to change ROM, or to go back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4. I am sorry. The hope of rooting 4.4.4 still exists, but it is at best dubious. Verizon has blocked Towelroot on Note 3 4.4.4, and the voluntary developers here who created the roots, have moved on to either other roles or other phones.

2. I believe if a root happens, it will either be by a developer in XDA (very high chance), or it will in any case be reported here. So you will get the news in XDA - and most likely this forum before anywhere else. Of course, Google is your friend - once root happens, the news will spread like wildfire.

If you want the root, you can return and get a replacement as your device should be still under warranty. If you do that, be careful to stop internet connection - start the device without the sim and Wifi, because when I booted mine I saw the update being downloaded after a few minutes of booting. It did not notify me of downloading the upgrade, it might have notified once it was done - but I didn't take any chances.

Hope that helps.

You also won't be able to install cf.lumen to reduce the color temperature of your screen at night.

It may not read like much but once you see it and get used to it you will end up really missing it when it's gone.

I'm on triple 4 and I can't find anything worth the upgrade. Damn you Verizon maybe I can get a replacement with nc4 443.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

If you were to install Cf.lumen and have the option to turn your screen completely red at night, or a warmer tint, w/o losing any contrast, oh yeah, you'd want root.

Go have a look in the play store (type in Cf then space bar) should come up with "Cf.lumen [root]" or something like that.

I'm on 444 so I'm out of luck, but for anyone else here, well go try it out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] JStrem:
Strange concepts about root vs nj6...

Opinions and discussion ( grain of salt, my friends ):

#1: I use most of the bloatware without issues: visual voicemail, cloud, tones, NFL mobile, and a few others. That's not really a loss, unless you don't use the apps.

#2: Permission control is a definite loss, but then again, look at the problems you gain with custom ROMs vs what you lose for stock non-root?

#3: Youtube or any other ad removal: There's an app for that.

#4: Backup your app's data, or do a full phone backup: Verizon cloud and backup work fine for me. Never had a problem here.

#5. Camera Shutter: There's an app for this also.

#6. External SD slot unavailable: Not sure what this means. My SD slot works absolutely perfect. The only problems I've ever had with SD slots are when rooted and using a custom ROM.

#7. Switching to airplane mode at night with Tasker or Llama: I thought tasker and llama were for rooted phones only? Not much of a loss or gain if you cant root in the first place.

#8. Auto-rotate display by 180 degrees: ??? I cant rotate in a complete 360 degrees, so this makes no sense.

I'm sure there's reasons for root, and non-root reasons: my point is, not everyone uses the same apps or the same functions. What works for some, probably doesnt work for others.

After upgrading to NJ6, I miss "playing" with custom ROMS, but i always found issues and problems with custom ROMS and have ended up back at stock. If someone would come up with a solid ROM that doesn't have issues, I'll be impressed, but I doubt that will happen due to the ever change of technology, people trying to keep up with the Jones's., and programmers not having the time or money.

Props to all the "Tinklers", but sooner or later... its the next best thing. #LIFE :silly:

So I was reading the nexus 6 spec sheet and I saw that it was water resistant. I was wondering if anybody knows how water resistant it is since I know that it doesn't have the standard IP 6/7 military rating that most phones that are water resistant claim to have.

Hello Everyone!!

Yesterday I wanted to get back to stock rom, having, s-off and and super cid. I succeded to do so, by first relocking the bootloader and then installing the adequate ruu.exe. Everything went good, the only(big) problem is that now my phone is working only in 2g, when I force 3G it says no connection. As I was able to see ,this problem happened to a lot of people but I didn't find any solution. I tried to reflash CM11, and still is the same. I don't think this matters in the regard but I also set the cid to HTC_001.

Anyone has a solution for this ?

Will you take a Tempered glass or Plastic on your Nexus 9?

The tempered glass very helpful for anti scratch but too heavy and thick.

Price of Tempered glass much expensve than Plastic one.

$17.9/pcs of Tempered glass in this store:oiostore meanwhile $10.9 of plastic one(Nillkin Glossy)

Price is $11.9~$16.9 on aliexpress.com, different seller offer difference.

This item is not actually glass...it's "a flexible urethane film."

Here's one I'm considering from IVSO, which claims to be tempered glass: http://www.amazon.com/IVSO-Ultra-th...r=1-1&keywords=nexus+9+glass+screen+protector
[Nexus 9 Accessories] tysj:
The link shows a glass protector for me "PLESON® Premium Google Nexus 9 Tempered Glass Screen Protector (2.5D 9H Hardness, Superslim 0.3mm)". In fact, both of those links appear to be pretty much the same thing (look at the product images with the hammer).
[Nexus 9 Accessories] JDLion:
That's the one i ordered. it feels like any other tempered glass screen protector. but it's odd how there's an opening on the bottom of the protector.

[Nexus 9 Accessories] androidtoy09:
Just received and installed my Plesion tempered glass protector. It fits perfectly. The cutout is very close. So you better be extra tedious when you install it. The feel is excellent. Little to none finger prints noticed. Over all, im happy with it.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] LinS123:
So my IVSO screen protector arrived finally, I got these:

http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00OMNEY1M/

Overall the cut is nice and is a good fit for the screen, albeit a bit tight with very little room for error. There is a nice cut out around the speakers, front camera and what I assume is the currently disabled notification LED on the bottom. I thought I messed up because I had many micro-bubbles under it after the application but those seemed to have cleared out after a few hours. The screen itself is not hampered by the glass in any way and my fingers glide across it perfectly fine. Time will tell how well this lasts but it feels solid.

I purchased this really early on when it was like 7 bucks plus 5 dollar shipping. The price has now gone up by almost 100% to 22 dollars and I'm glad I ordered it pre-production.

If you guys have any questions about it, you can ask me and I can try to answer as best as possible.

[Nexus 9 Accessories] jason-tech-uk:
Agreed with a lot of the other comments on this. Glass is much better. It actually feels better than those plastic films. The plastic films create a bit of friction when you run your fingers across the screen.

Price is a lot different, but I guess you get what you pay for. In the long run the glass will treat you much better in my opinion.

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

I don't think this is an error, glass screen protectors don't normally have cut outs to the camera, think because they're meant to have some super duper high transparency that makes them capable of covering the camera without any effect. The cut out could be to a sensor. Thats what I think anyway. Did you get a reply from the seller?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Mikulec:
I already mentioned that the cut-out was for the light sensor. I havent seen the sensor, but in direct light the sensor is visible.
