Which bootloader did you have? The first post said MJB, the second said MJ2.

With the MJ2, I believe you could have flashed back to stock 4.1.1 and just run OTA updates until you hit 4.4.2.

MJ2 is the leaked bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498233

Don't get excited people. That thread has become an all out flame war and I see warnings and/or bans coming instead of root.. Oh well... ?

is he saying that the app will be able to unlock the bootloader on the verizon retail version of the note 3? Can i have the link to that thread? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Afro Samurai:
He was claiming root and bootloader unlock. But instead of getting everyone riled up he probably should have made it a covert job and then "Bam" here you go. Kinda like when the Rezound got s-off. But the thread got way out of control and it's locked now until he can prove he has something substantial.

While I love the xda community and have been along time member and highly appreciative of the devs.

I'm just about ready to toss this phone in the garbage.

I miss the days of flashing my phone every week to the latest and greatest when I had my original galaxy note for 2 years.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mirrin:
Wow really your going to get frustrated and throw out a phone that costs 400-700$ because you can't flash roms endlessly yeah i get tw sucks and I want to have better options for roms but even if I lost root I would not throw out my note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jjewell:
I feel the same way about my galaxy bloat 3. First and formost i need a phone that works as a phone. This phone has the worst service and software out of any phone i've owned. As far as the sortware goes i thought i would be able to fix it with cm11 but thanks to verizon and me not doing my home work a head of time i'm stuck with the ****tiest phone i've ever owned. I can't wait for july to replace it with a motorola product.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mirrin:
I must be getting old. I don't see a problem with the stock note 3 and the bloat. Yeah the signal could be better but that is on Samsung more than Verizon. And yes Verizon could shorten the approval process for updates and Samsung could drop tw and put out updates in line with the nexus line as all manufactures should the ui should be a app on the app store and be little more than a launcher for people to choose to use if they want.

Not going to happen. If your on big red you likely don't have a choice or it is the best service in your area or your grandfathered into unlimited. The Samsung phones were the only ones with 2 features I am unable to give up battery that is removable and sd card.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bentheexo:
If this phone doesn't end up with Lollipop that's rootable or an unlocked bootloader before February, I'm throwing mine at my Verizon Rep's face and picking up a Note 4. We bought Note 3's for only two reasons. The first reason was that the other Note's were easy to root and flash to CM and the second reason was because of the S-Pen. At this point I would take a loss on the S-Pen functionality just to be rid of all of the Samsung Bloat on my phones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] phillymade:
Wow. sounds like you all should be buying an international variant. trashing you phone or going to a N4 with a locked bootloader is not going to solve your problem. I am pleased with my Rooted N3 and have no issues and will stay with Samsung for a while. Root is nice but it's not going to cause me to put my phone in the trash, there are other things in life that are far more important
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alsgarage:
Yeah way to stick it to Samsung by throwing out last quarters model and buying the brand new one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Afro Samurai:
I see both sides, though we didn't have ten or fifteen roms to flash, this phone was not a waste at all. It's a solid phone for my use. But flashing roms has become a hobby and I don't like not doing that either. So even though most of the developers are going to the Nexus. I just don't like having no SD or removable battery either. And how are they handling any replacements for a phone currently not carried by Big Red? May not be the place for me to ask that but I'm curious.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Reilly1812:
You might want to check out the Note 4 forum for scripts that can disable a ton of the bloatware without root. I am still rocking rooted MJE so I can't test it with kitkat. It supposedly will run on most android phones. Just wanted to mention a potential solution until root achieved.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mirrin:
So locked note 3 to a locked down note 4 when you are stuck with the options of motorola or sony for unlockable phones that are on verizon.

IF you really have to have CM 12 you are going to have to either make sure the phone you get at that time has an unlockable bl or is a nexus.

And as for the note 4 it is only a slight upgrade over the note 3 and both will someday get lollipop note 4 sooner than the note 3...

Forgive me if this is posted in the wrong sub but I didn't know where it would fit best. I have an old verizon samsung galaxy and it's just collecting dust since I moved on to newer devices. Are there any bare bones, completely stripped down ROMs/projects out there that focus on making old devices just for game and emulator use? I know plenty of people are using old phones as webcams and the like.

Currently running AOKP with most services Disabled, I can't help but think I'd get even better performance and battery life out of a ROM specifically designed for playing games.

Hello, Guys I planning on getting a Note 4 next month do you guys have any problems with your screens

like Light bleed,Dead Pixels,stuck pixels and dust under screens.

I had a bad experience with Apple phones been through 7 iPhone 6 all had Dead/stuck pixels and dust

Had enough with LCD Screens hoping AMOLED screens are problem defect free.

How about reading a post prior to answering ?

Now for my answer: No pixel defects, no stuck pixels, no dust at all.

And of course no light bleeding - this is AMOLED, thus no backlight.

Screens don't get any better on Earth.

Saying that, I have a G906S (5.2" 2560*1440 AMOLED) which had exploded pixels... you could only see it on white backgropund but 3 pixels were mushed up which left a kind of black smoke smudge.

Bcos the ppi is highest for the G906S you could only see the mushed up pixels under a microscope, but the black smoke smudge was plainly visible.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danjamand:
Hello Everyone,

I wanted to share a fix I just found. I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why some of my contacts would not show up in the prediction box in the dialer. It turns out that any contacts that are linked (automatically by the phone) with a Microsoft exchange account, will not show up in the predictive dialer.

To fix you can either remove the exchange account (which I need for my work emails) or you can manually go to the desires contact and un-link the exchange account.

I am not sure if this was effecting anyone else, but its been driving me nuts for days.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cmascatello:
I was testing out the 10.4.9 Update that Apple released yesterday on my Macbook and noticed that a "Join Network on..." option now appears in the Bluetooth dropdown menu. Having already confirmed that the MissingSync trick works with USB I decided to try BT. I had to delete the pairing of my 8252 running the unreleased Cingular ROM b/c of some other issues that I created when trying to set up COM ports -- not sure if others will have to do this to get the Mac to see the phone as a PAN-able device. As soon as I added the phone is added to the Pairing List there is a message that "Personal Area Networking" service is enabled.

So, I went into the Internet Sharing app on the 8525, set the Mode to Bluetooth PAN, hit "Connect", and then used the Mac BT menu selection for "Join Network on <<device name>>". A few seconds later I had a 192.168.0.x IP and I confirmed connectivity with a speakeasy speedtest of 396/312. FWIW, the connection was made via the MediaNet connection (called Cingular GPRS on my phone) and I will be testing with a connection type that uses isp.cingular.com as the connection server at some point tonight.

Although the speed is not the best, I am quite glad to see that I have another connection option available in case of emergency.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chenga:
I can confirm this works! Speed was 300/275 via BT PAN, then I plugged the USB cable in and got speeds of 905/318 (Speakeasy speed test). I'm in Sacramento (HSDPA) via the MediaNet wap.cingular APN. Looks like the BT 2.0 craps out at 300kbps.

My steps (I had a few extra to add to yours)

-I unpaired the devices on both the phone AND the MacBook

-Paired the devices FROM THE MACBOOK (Laptop sees that PAN is available)

-Unpaired the laptop ON THE PHONE side

-Paired the devices FROM THE PHONE (Connect via Bluetooth in the ActiveSync program)

I had to do the last two steps because when I paired from the laptop, the phone did not pick up the ActiveSync service, and so Missing Sync wouldn't sync via BT. Pairing from the phone side through the ActiveSync program fixed that up, and the laptop didn't need to make any changes so the PAN was still there.

Maybe if you pair from the phone first, you can avoid the last two steps? I'm not going to risk breaking my working setup to test it though. ;-)

Syncs via BT, and does PAN via BT now! Good thing you had to re-pair the devices =)

I don't think there's a difference in the bluetooth between the CDuo and C2D. (The wifi chip is different, but I think the bluetooth chip should be the same)

I do have a C2D though. All I can suggest is to unpair the devices from each other and try starting the pairing from the laptop again :-\

For reference, I used the diff updater (not the combo).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ahintz:
I've now tried this from both a C2D iMac and a CD MacBook - same result: no Bluetooth PAN. :( Perhaps something is messed up on my 8525, although the services listed for the device in Bluetooth preferences on the Macs list "Personal Ad-hoc Network" as one of the services. I just can't get my Macs to connect.

As to the update method, I've tried installing the combo updater on the MacBook to see if that made any differences (after initially downloading the update through Software Update) and haven't seen any difference.

Alright, so I am a complete newb...

Ive gotten a WM6 firmware on the 8525 now, and the 10.4.9 update on my mac.

What is AKU 3.3? I found the directions for installing it, but it seems to talk about some distribution of WM5?

So... onto my stupid questions: What does AKU stand for, how is it differnet from the OS, and where do I find version 3.3 of whatever AKU is.

According to the thread on installing AKU, the LVWM WM6 flash that I am using has AKU 0.0.

Sorry for the newbieness

OK.. in an answer to my own question, AKU 3.3 seems to be some part of a WM5 ROM.

There are some images in the wiki that have AKU 3.3, and thusly work with in a PAN with my Macbook (yay!).

Is there anyone who got this working with any WM6 image?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mcsegeek:
I'm thinking you still need missing sync to accomplish this trick...because I'm not seeing the "Join network on..." option pop up and my C2D 15" MBP. Oh well...I sure was hoping that this would work...but I guess not.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ahintz:
Missing Sync not the answer

I have Missing Sync installed, and it doesn't allow me to use Bluetooth PAN. It may be a WM6 thing (I have WM6 installed), even though the Bluetooth PAN works fine from Boot Camp.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] zerologic:
This is definitely not true. It is an Apple provided service. You have to enable internet sharing on the mobile before you try to pair it to the Mac, otherwise the Mac won't see the service.

8525, WM5 Cingular pre-release ROM. My Macbook is a 2.0GHZ Black Core Duo with 2GB RAM and the Mac Pro 802.11n card installed (not that it matters). Also, FWIW, I do not have Internet Sharing enabled on the Mac -- you do have to connect from the phone Internet Sharing app. However, PAN option in the BT menu drop-down is always present now on my machine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chenga:
I am using a Dopod CHT9000 with the HTC WWE test ROM. MacBook Pro 17" C2D. The "Join network on <devicename>" option is also always in the BT menu on my Mac.

I just tested it out again, and the option to "Join network on <devicename>" in the Mac's bluetooth menu was grayed out. A reboot of OS X solved that and I was able to use bluetooth PAN again. If you can't get it to work, you may want to try rebooting.

Things to remember

-Re-pair devices to ensure that OS X 10.4.9 saw that PAN was available

-Be sure to use the "Internet Sharing" app (Start Menu->Programs) on the phone set to Bluetooth PAN

-Reboot OS X (Maybe soft reset the phone?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] unusedusername:
I do not have Missing Sync and it is working.

The key is the ROM. I tried about 10 different ones before I found one that works. The latest Cingular test ROM from the wiki works...

Here is my data from Bluetooth->Prefrences

Device Name: PhonePOD

Device Address: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

Device Type: Computer

Device Services: Service Discovery, A2DP, Voice Gateway, Voice Gateway, Network Access Point, Audio Video Remote Control Profile

"Network access point" is what you need. "Adhoc Personal Networking" is not good enough it seems.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nispen:
I definitely do NOT have it on my Macbook. I DID reboot it.

The weird thing is that the Mac will show you (in the overview of BT devices) the services a device offers, and it DOES list PAN as an service offered by the Tytn. However, when I then click on "Configure device" the ONLY service that it actually offers (box to check) is "use this device as a headset".

I am stumped.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] zerologic:
Open System Preferences > Network and see if it offers you a new network port. Be sure to enable sharing on the device too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chenga:
This is the same for me. The configure device option does nothing useful. Which phone ROM are you running?

Nope, no new network port.

As I've stated in this post...it appears that this function is very ROM dependent. I'm running the latest HTC ROM 2.11 or whatever...and this function works extremely well with that ROM...but I couldn't get this PAN functionality to ever work on WM6 Black 1.1 or 1.2 to save my life. I love the black WM6 ROM because I think its outstandingly fast and clean...but I really need the PAN ability with my Mac. I think what's been said here is absolutely correct the ROMs that work don't advertise the Personal Ad-hoc Network but rather they advertise the Network Access Point. I wish there was a way to fix it...but it doesn't seem like any body over in the Black thread gives a rat's arse about it not working with Macs...oh well...such is life right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Adigital:
Wooohooo.. !!!

It works! First I checked the BT drop-down menu - no "Join network..." Then I tried to configure the device again. Mac could only see the device as a headset. Then I removed devices from both and paired from Mac again. Now I can see the option in the BT dropdown menu and can connect to the MDA Compact III Internet Sharing. The surprise is that I couldn't connect it using MissingSync before - apparently due to the AKU which is 3.0 - not 3.3

Definitely ROM dependent. I couldn't get it to work until I installed the latest LVSW OS... I believe dated 27-March-2007. Finally, I have a real smooth WM6 OS, all my fav apps working and Mac "modem" support. Now if only MarkSpace can get MissingSync working...

(1) Did you also try LSVW edition?

(2) When I tried LSVW's edition (the one of 26 march) it did work, however, when pairing I also only got the USE THIS DEVICE AS HEADSET checkbox. So I was -- ehhhh -- irritated. BUT: when I then checked the BT drop down menu, there it was: join network on TYTN (or whatever your bt name). Did you check the BT drop down menu? It might just be there, despite the fact that the PAN services do not show up during bt discovery.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ryanmillar:
@nispen thanks very much - your post made me check it out just one last time before giving up and there it was!!! unreal, i swear i changed nothing in terms of what i had been doing previously.

unfortunately i can add nothing to the learnings from this - add, delete, add, delete - seems to be random if it picks it up or not?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chenga:
There is no radio button/checkbox like the "Use this device as a headset" radio button. All you get is a little screen when you pair the phone that will say something like this phone can be used with personal area networking. Be sure to check the bluetooth menu if you just clicked through the pairing quickly
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ryanmillar:
@ chenga

yes that is what i saw - that menu was definitely not there before i promise.

i am now connected via PAN - turned Internet Sharing on, but have no connectivity to the internet (little radio button under Network on my Mac is Orange) even though i have close to full strength HSDPA.

I have tried renewing DHCP and i have IP addresses - any ideas?
