New OTA? 12/10/2013 - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General

Anyone else get the notice for the new OTA?|
Found this:
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/12/verizon-galaxy-note-3-ota-update-rolling-out/
This update will bring the Verizon Cloud, My InfoZone widget, VMware and Verizon Support & Protection version 2.0. Apart from that, the update also adds an urgent priority notification to voicemail notifications, and also improves connectivity and sound quality. Email sync, notification panel responsiveness and mobile hotspot have all been improved. Issues plaguing handwriting data entry for email and SMS, as well as Samsung keyboard have also been resolved. Incoming calls will now display Picture Me on screen where users are using call waiting. These nifty little tweaks and the new bloatware is all that makes up Verizon’s latest OTA update for Galaxy Note 3. It will be released over-the-air, so an update notification should pop up on your device if it hasn’t already.: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/12/verizon-galaxy-note-3-ota-update-rolling-out/

Just received the notification. Am rooted so holding off for now.

my update keeps failing everytime it tries to install

I just got notice for an update but since im not on wifi I pressed install later until I get home lol

I just updated. My keyboard is now black not silver like before

Before anyone takes the update, it'd be interesting to see a before and after SpeedTest result if possible?
Not so much interested in the AWS LTE since that can be enabled, but more curious on coverage in same area post update to see if signal strength/network connectivity is improved post update.:good:

In your Settings>About Phone is SELinux still set to "Permissive"?
Could you share a screenshot? TIA

Are you rooted, have apps uninstalled or frozen, modified files?
Those are usually the reasons why the update will fail to install.
I got the notification, but haven't tried it yet, as I don't want to lose root, and not sure yet if root is possible with this update (by using kingo or other method).

Mine as well, I am assuming it's because I was on Scotts clean rom and not stock official. I will probably Odin to stock and take it

[Q] beastMOD 2.0.0 & Quiksense 2.0.0 help/questions/issues?

ok first of all i would like to say i am some what new to this whole rooting your phone thing. i KNOW how to use the search button and i have read all that i can read so far...with that said. this is pertaining to the users with either the beastmod 2.0.0 or quiksense 2.0.0
i have rooted my phone, i have unlocked my bootloader, so far ive tried the beastmod 2.0.0 and it seems nice and all but is anyone else having the issue where its not detecting music on your SD card unless you have to manually transfer it over into your phones internal memory? basically what im asking is that is anyone else having troubles with the files and programs kind of "going together" if you know what i mean.. it seems like the SD card and the rom itself wont put things in the right place
now with the quiksense 2.0.0 is anyone else experiencing freezing and then it seems like it reboots itself again?
with that said which rom is more stable in the long run? and which rom free's up more ram? better battery life? faster performance? less glitchy over all...thanks guys.
still experiences random signal drops where it seems like the phone rebooted itself and i see the HTC quality start up white screen. any one else with the same problems or found a solution? thanks
My phone drops wifi and 4g once in awhile for no reason. Airplane mode or reboot to get it back on Quick Sense.
i flashed the new qs 2.0, the rom worked fine but my wifi would not work with it. Also my tethering was out. After using the recovery, i'm back to 1.5.1. and the wifi is working fine. I did a wipe. Anyone else have this problem?

Video recording FC while you are recording or it happened when you hit stop?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20150977&postcount=1056
when I hit stop but I saw on the forum xboarder will fix that on the next release. so all good..
still having that problem with TTS though, when I go into setting for text-to-speech is says "TTS stopped unexpectedly"...i installed SVOX before and then uninstalled it.. wonder if that's the issue.
the notifications pulldown is also too transparent, makes it hard to see, anyone know a way to change that?
mms is also not working getting a small picture when recieving.

I had an issue with not being able to send MMS. Fixed it by going to settings=>wireless & networks => mobile networks=>access point names, tap menu, click reset to default. Then select the profile again. If still doesn't work, try going to manage applications => messages => clear data. Note, you'll lose your sms. so backup if you wanna keep them.

yes, you have to flash the kernel first then wipe and install.. search the quicksense thread, Xboarder has a step-by-step, its easy.

Also, do not flash the CRT-enabler on the QS 2.0, after i did that the phone kept restarting by itself..
thanks for the response. problem is not being able to send mms or receiving, but when I receive the picture is small. hmm
I just flashed to QS2.0.1, camera FC fixed but i'm still getting TTS service FC when i goto text-to-speech settings..

yes please fix that problem, i love this rom, i was originally going with beastmod but couldnt stand that the gallery/music section wasnt as convenient as stock. and the whole unlock to answer thing was getting to me. i have no issues with QS 2.0 besides the small SMS pics as of right now and the occasional phone restarting.
also is it just me or is anyone else having the issues of when u tap to type the keyboard takes a while to pop up. doesnt happen all the times. just sometimes. thanks.

yeah, you have to reflash the kernel its easy to do, easy kernel flasher down load the boot.img and just drop it in the folder, connect your phone and click and thats pretty much it.

Hey X, your the man- nuff said.
But i have a small question, and im sorry i have to post it here. (since i cant post on development until i get 10 post <- lol)
I installed 2.0.1...also updated kernel
BUT
I noticed an H instead of 4g? and it switches from H to 3g constantly.
Not only that, but i notice that when using the data, it shows (the data arrow up) that the phone is trying to UPLOAD date, but it doesn't get a download arrow that faces down that receives. It takes some times for the data to come back in when it does this.
I'm on full bars in an area where reception is "amazing"
ANy ideas?

> When charging the phone the Notification LED doesnt blink red anymore. Stays on continuous even when using the phone while charging. Always red light.

2GB? That's a big update.
If it's not too late, can you capture / save that update and share it with us?
Added a link
Installed and testing. First thing i noticed is that the Lockscreen wallpaper bug is fixed.
"Back up the data and APPs in your phone by using the built-in Backup function. To enable the built-in Backup function of your phone (an SD card must be inserted), select Backup and Restore from the main menu"
I think they're imagining this
Keep updating the new topic with updates what figure out with the new update.
Did the sound issue being fixed or not several people mention in different threads.

New "Headset Hi-Fi" setting in "Sounds and Vibration." You may switch between "Standard" and "Super" and play a demo to see the difference.
At 2GB, this seems like a full image. I'm not at a computer; can anyone check it out to see if that's the case?

The OP mentioned "B02", not "B20". Typo?
Anyway, the B20 for the US version was only ~80MB. The OP reports 2GB for this one. Sounds like the difference between a standard OTA update and full image. Not sure why they'd do a full image update, but some companies have/do.

It's specifically for the European version. A2017G is the model sold in Europe.
Any information about the bootloader for the European model with this update?
Is the launcher still without an app drawer?
Does the double tap to open option included from the beginning to European version or not??

What about these features In G version?
We recently got August security patch without any of these....
Finally.
What the hell? No MiFavor 5? This sucks! I mean the fixes, etc are cool, but still...
Oh, I'd kill to have the Quick Setting Tiles on the G...
I just happened to get to get to the software update page today, and it was quite the coincidence that the new version had come out just a few hours ago.
The only thing I had problems with, and still doesn't seem to be fixed is the hotspot DNS issue.
I have my APN Type set to default, supl, mms, dun so I'm not sure why that's still a problem for me. I don't want to hijack this thread though.
Other than that, it seems to be working fine. I'll have to get my Daydream goggles on.

The hotspot issue was fixed with this update. Try resetting the APN to its default values.
Mine shows the update with the list change log above, but still calls it zte_A2017UV1.1.0B25
Seems it's a Typo and will show up as b32 when implemented.

If you'd kill, then why don't you install MiFavor 5? Been using it for a while on the G, zero problems.
Installed and running well so far.
They've also added Caller ID settings under additional carrier settings in the call settings. Can now be set to network default, hide number or show number.

Quick Settings Tiles are nice but the radios are still broken. WiFi and cell data still randomly turn off as often as ever.
Finally got mine installing. Not sure why but every time I try and go back to stock everything craps out on me and I have to start over.
Hopefully my backups are still in tact so I can restore some of my data.

How To Install S9 Messages App

So your saying it's a "stock" S9 app with a "modded" icon to make it "not so" orange? Your video (((only))) references "note 8 running 8.0 Oreo" no mention of Nougat. I'm simply letting you know that this "S9 & S9+ messaging app" (quoting you from video) works on BOTH Nougat and Oreo... You're welcome.

It's not a modded icon this is the APK from the S9 and yes it will work on 7.1.1. It's just the default app that comes on the S9 plus it has not yet been added to the Note 8 and a lot of people prefer the UI as well as the new features such as GIF support, stickers and live messaging.

"New features.. live messaging"? You've probably got mixed up, I've already had live messaging on my note 8 (((without))) installing this apk file? It's a feature on the Note 8 upon launch. Also, you never mentioned that it would work on Nougat, only saying "Oreo" over and over. I was just giving feedback saying that it "it does work on Nougat", not to be misconstrued.

This is old news actually. There is already a thread from the day this version was released just fyi....video might have been a bit unnecessary lol. Also there is a sticker apk that goes along with the message app to provide the stickers....there is a signed version of that which installs with the same ease as the message app.

Another user discovered a fix for duplicate message problem many people were having (maybe not on oreo) and the fix is to "Freeze", "debloat" the app "Message Service" (then reboot)

I know it's not new but a lot of people where still looking for how to do it and some where having issues. This APK works fine in oreo and i'm not seeing any issues with duplicate messages.

Oh ok, didn't see any mention of any solutions for people having issues....just a long video showing how to click the file and press install....maybe i missed something.

So is there an advantage to using this over the regular built-in messaging app that's in Oreo on the Note 8?
Someone already posted the duplicate message fix. Just freeze the message service app with bk package disabler or it's like. Have to use the pro version. They apparently built that service into the new messages app.

Any idea how to change the font size permanently besides pinching?

Gif search is built into the app, regardless of keyboard. Pressing back while in a thread doesn't close the app instead returns to the conversations screen
Also when sharing to the app it now let's you pick from already existing conversations as opposed to it searching your contacts
I installed the app and now 1 of my threads keeps showing like I have unread messages even though there are no new messages... anyone else get this?

Finally got a working APK to get the S9 messages app on the Note 8! I have a video on installing it (Super simple process) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfpRV_n_oSk and you won't loose your conversations or anything it just updates the app!
APK: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...g-messages/samsung-messages-5-0-11-8-release/

only drawback is loss of background wallpapers
I have check this app and have some pro and cons over stock one, like
- No conversation background
- No messaging block with phrase
- No Save/Restore option (Though it can be done with some tricks)
- No option to send message to Groups (needs to select individually from contacts)
- Better UI (Though it's subjective)
- Mute option right from conversation
- Sticker support even you use third party keyboard
So verdict is - better use themed icon with stock messaging lol!

And when you reverted back did all of your texts stay on the phone or did you lose them? Did you just Uninstall updates?

new update from Tmobile

I just installed an update from tmobile something about bug fixes and security . Sorry was to busy to write down the details but hope it fixes the phantom touches..
UPDATE 2: Oh no, it actually made the phantom touches worse, now instead of just the top section where you have the camera droop the thumb coordinates would trigger buttons on that spot, but now with the update, according to the touch sensors from developer options it shows the left and right touch coordinates will trigger even more around the screen. I think it just broke this phone.
Can anyone pls confirm this. The update has made the phantom touches worse and now my phone is unusable to play games because it always triggers buttons I don't touch when I make certain movements playing the games or apps

I have the TMobile version and have no issues with phantom touches. I would try a factory reset without restoring any data if I were you.

Dude that's so crazy maybe you should try a factory reset without restoring data too. Rcs is fully working for me out of nowhere again. It started working again yesterday before I received the update.

Thanks, I tried. Even had the phone replaced. T-Mobile thinks it might be the provisioning on my account, but I don't buy it since Google messages works. But I'm stumped, I can't even send a simple meme to someone on the stock app. I just says sending forever and never goes. I've tried wifi, 5g, 4g, resetting apn settings etc... Craziest dam thing
The feedback touching vibration is better now

Please enable developer options and then enable the two options, show touches and show touch data. On my V60 when I hold the phone horizontally as if to game using my left and right thumbs the touch data will show lines intersecting for each thumb press and the coordinates where the lines touch will show a circle indicating that point will trigger any onscreen button that it will touch. Can you pls try this, so I can see if I have a defective V60. Thanks

I get errors with screenshots that say can't send, then I retry and am presented with 2 options, retry with original size or send as MMS. The photos always go thru when I choose MMS. However, I have an issue with stock as well. Can't attach a gif, only sends a link, and no notification in AA unless it's a short code message. I'm getting real tired of having to switch to 3rd party to do those 2 things and then back again to see typing and delivery indicators and faster photo sharing.

You can use Google messages and get the RCS experience without switching back and forth. I would just prefer to use the stock app if it would work

The stock app is definitely much nicer then it used to be. I very much prefer it over Android messages when/if it's working. Thankfully like I said it just happened to start working for me again. Maybe it's just TMobile and google ironing out all the kinks who knows.

What's your favorite function or 2 of the stock app vs. Google Messenger?

I know the question wasn't aimed at me, but I like the ability to pin certain conversation to the top, schedule messages, and it just looks much nicer in my opinion

Those are two great options Google doesn't have. I use a scheduling app which is a nice work around.

Also google messages seems to be a pretty major battery drain at least it was for me in the past. Not sure if it is anymore.
I really wish they had a changelog for this update... Two of my main issues are the speakerphone phone calls cutting off and the auto brightness

Nope, auto brightness is still broken
So far for me speakerphone seems to be fixed, haven't tested auto brightness to see if anything has changed.
