Kit Kat has nothing new to offer? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

What's so good about Kit Kat?
I upgraded to Kit Kat and I see nothing new, but alot more restriction on many things. Even the 3G icons is ugly. Everything at the notification bar is now white color. The battery meter is white, the 3G icon upload and download arrow is white. EVERYTHING in the notification is white!
My Hotspot is not working until someone figure something out. (thank you in advance for your time and effort)
I regret upgrading to Kit Kat 4.4.2
What are your thoughts? Anything new that you can point out to me?

All the Sammy stuff is in the way

I like KitKat so far
If you are rooted, I was informed that WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso ($1.95) may help with tethering. There are few people per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50826678&highlight=tether#post50826678 that have mentioned it works, although I am not currently using it because I do not have a device i need to tether too consistently.
My battery on KitKat is the same if not better and for some reason I believe I now have more RAM available for actual use. I thought I previously had like 2.4 and no it's like 2.7, but I'm a Noob and could be all off on that. Anyway, I love the full album art and access to notification (using AcDisplay for notifications). Just wish sammy wouldn't interfere with cool stuff like the google dialer (although I think only nexus devices got this).
EDIT: I forgot to mention this is for Keeping Knox counter at 0. I have not tripped it yet and am not currently willing to.

If you want hot spot back and a all around faster rom since updating to kitkat I strongly advise checking this out.

[ROM|NABD|KitKat|4.4.2] Galaxy Note fre3 Hybrid De[Odex] v2.0beta -BeastMode Kernel-
This has wifi hot spot enabled and a whole plethora of goodies already working. If you feel the kitkat update was for nothing try this rom then might convince you otherwise.
If you just want wifi tether Then just as he said just buy wifi tether router it works great. I bought it and can vouche for it. I was in the same boat my friend thinking it was a crappy pointless update but have been seeing a bit more change for the better with this new rom.

I'll give you one major benefit that I've noticed only on KitKat.
When on Jellybean, if I wanted to push a single apk, even something as simple as calculator from a different rom onto mine, even when it was the same app for the same phone and build, I'd inevitably get a force close if not first clearing app data and cache.
Not so with KitKat. If an app successfully can be swapped or not, one needn't rule out the possibility that clearing app data and cache was the culprit. It'll either work or not work.
With Jellybean, one could get a force close even if complete compatibility exsited, if the app wasn't first cleared in app manager.
You can see what a significant improvement, for developers, testers and hobbyists.

Thoughts on ICS OTA

Does anyone else feel like the ICS OTA was just kind of thrown together and not built very well? To me, nothing seems to be themed consistently and I feel as though ICS/Sense doesn't fit very well together. In some cases, I'll get menus with the black and blue ICS theme and then other times I'll get the Sense white and green menus. Other than having ICS (which is awesome) I don't think HTC put much time into this update. What do you guys think?

Blame verizon all you want for the bad timing of the update, but the performance of ICS is 100% HTC's fault. No doubt about it
Problem is that HTC is mostly green and they want to stay green except Android is turning blue. I guess HTC needs to learn how to theme? Oh and I blame Verizon for everything as well, what a bunch of blowers..
It's kinda sh*tty but it doesn't bother most of us since we're on custom roms that are themed. Source is the only thing I care about.

ICS OTA
I waited for the OTA to drop before I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed custom roms. I don't know why, because the OTA was underwhelming for sure.
It's better than gb for sure
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I don't care much for the looks but that is not the problem. It is much slower the gb. The browser does not work well for flash videos. It also does not work when searching pictures with Google. Hancent no longer see's Facebook photos. I have several programs that don't work properly. I wish i could go back to GB!

I was annoyed to find out on a trip this weekend that the navigation voice does not have its own volume and if you play music at the same time, you can barely hear the voice. I had to mute my music when there was a lot of directions coming up.
It is an improvement for me
I am completely stock. I don't like to root until Verizon wont cover the phone any longer.But I was getting close though because of the data drop issues. ICS is not the solution to everything, but it made my phone able to work like I expect. I don't know if I blame HTC, Verizon or the tooth fairy. I know that they all should have been bothered by the number of people running stock that were dealing with not being able to us the internet as a general rule that is a core function of a smart phone, imho.
For those of you who are developing roms, thank you. I will root this phone, probably around Christmas. Thanks for keeping a variety around. :good:
Dated version of sense when 4.0 is the norm for newer HTC phones. Custom roms ftw.

Honestly I am ok with most stuff on it. The only major issue I am having is battery drain. I am hoping after I reset it will be fixed. But it did fix the 4g issues I was having. The browser hasn't been slower for me but I haven't tried videos on it yet. I am annoyed handsent isn't syncing the pics but since the address book is it sounds like a handcent problem. Overall I am happy with it. It's nice I can disable the bloatware and I like how ICS is. I like the sense its not much difference then GB, 4.0 would be nice but at least my phone is working now.

Nice! Glad to hear that you're happy with your phone and the update :good:. If you're having battery issues, try reducing the frequency of data synchs etc. Lower screen brightness for general use etc. Could also try a battery calibration. Good luck!

I kept my sync frequencies, and screen brightness the same so I could compare battery efficiency between GB and ICS. ICS is about 50% worse, in my experience. My extended battery lasts 1 day 9 hours to 0% battery, where it used to last a full 2. It's horrendous. If I reduced sync times and brightness, etc. on GB I would be approaching or exceeding the 3 day mark. Users shouldn't have to do all that just to hit 2 days on ICS. I know some users do not experience these battery issues (my wife and coworker do not), so I have to assume it's an actual defect in my handset.
I agree with OP. Nothing seemed themes consistently at all. I couldn't stand bouncing back and force between ICS and Sense themes, which were entirely different (and arguably clashing).
I spent plenty of time waiting for the OTA, and when it finally came and flashed a new ROM that night.
Screen brightness messes up after using camera (mine stays at full brightness until I lock and unlock again), landscape keyboard is severely ****ed (not so much the keyboard but the displayed content above it where my cursor is), and the themes a little but they don't bother me at all. Anyone else have those problems?

Ive always had that auto brightness problem with the camera even on the droid incredible so its not new to me but i did notice that if you try a new theme some parts of HTC's green theme turn into your color of theme. But not always.
I agree with everything said pretty much accept battery life. Mines still good even on these stock kernals.
Moral of the story... Nexus only from now on lol. The themeing issues and old sense and old version of ICS when we finally get the update is annoying to me. Why didn't they just release the source and not push an outdated update lol.

Yeah I turned on the blue skin theme and it comes up with some blue and some green. Both look fine so I don't complain but the landscape keyboard thing is super annoying. Anyone have that problem or am I the minority?

Kinda of afraid to try some ROMS

I have been running Bean's ROM since build 1. Everything works the way it should. Love it.
I am curious about the other ROMs in the open android forum, but they all seem to screw up GPS (i need this), camera is flaky, etc.
Is there a AOSP based ROM that has no issues and if you want to go back to TW you just re flash the TW rom. Meaning no flashing extra files to fix stuff that AOSP changes.
My last Sammy phone was a nexus and you just flashed compatible roms and all was good
You're out of luck. You have to flash a downgrade file. It's like 200kb so it's not hard at all... GPS is solid on all aosp roms I've tried. And camera doesn't have any noticeable difference. If you're scared, don't try it. If you have some form of balls then man up and flash it buddy don't take that as being mean. Just joking around

I'm kind of the with you, man. Not really afraid I'm just not wanting to have to redo all I've done to what I have and don't really know that aosp is for me anyway. Really getting an itch to try something other than Beans though, I've just become so complacent, feels like home now. First phone I've rooted and ROMd (g2x was nothing but a nightmare to mod for the most part, so I never did) so I'm not the most knowledgeable on android per say, but I've run Linux for almost ten years so it's not too unfamiliar.
Just be prepared to deal with problems, they're half the fun when messing with anything new, and after fixing it you've gained more knowledge, always satisfying.

You wouldn't have to mess with ODIN again just by trying out a new ROM.
Run a nandroid.. And backup your data in your local sdcard.. GPS is not an issue for most and the fix is to install a stock ROM then go back to AOSP anyways so you should be fine.. Camera does have an issue but only if you use touch to zoom and flash at the same time ( third party cameras have no issue what so ever)
Try AOSP and don't be scard .. That is unless you are scared you won't ever go back to TW
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I bounce back and forth between TW and AOSP alot and it really is not that big of a deal. You flash the small zip file after flashing or restoring a TW rom and all is the way it was. I have also had pretty good luck with GPS and I've found some nice 3rd party camera apps if my pics aren't top my liking.
I say go for it. With the apps and tools available these days for backing up and restoring, there should be no fear of playing around. Going back is a 5 minute restore away if aosp is not for you.
BTW, since kejar31 is in the house....try out carbon. Pure sweetness!!!!

I run liquidsmooth 2.1 stable, and I like it. Runs fairly stable with a few minor bugs.
1. Sometimes device freezes requiring battery removal when in range of some Wi-Fi networks. I work around this by using tasker to turn off Wi-Fi when I'm not home
2. The only GPS bug I have found is GPS toggle will cause GPS service to look for location indefinitely. This seems to be caused by the need to click I agree every time, which is hidden when using toggle. The work around for now is to disable Wi-Fi location services, but this causes Google now to complain
3. Bluetooth headset support is still non existent and Google don't seem to care lol
4. Still cannot send DTMF tones once dialer execution is completed. Can set long strings of pause/wait commands ie. "," or ";" however once strings are complete Android system prevents any further DTMF from being sent. Most likely some retarded developer at Google decided this would be a great feature so you don't accidentally hit keys with your face.... but in reality all this does is prevent you from checking your voicemail. Considering the age and the number of posts on the bug report, it seems Google don't care about this problem either lol

Not very happy with my s4

After a few days of playing with my S4 I would have to say I'm not very happy with it. My smart stay setting don't work but maybe a 1/4 of the time if that. My voice commands don't work but half the time and I get a bit of lag from time to time. I've always used the stock browser in the past cause of flash player and now that don't work right, along with every now and then not being able to click links like its lagging but yet the url, bookmarks, Window manager, and menu button work. Plus the battery life hasn't been to great but that may be me being used to the note 2 battery. If anyone else is getting the same thing or knows of fixes please let me know. I have had these problems on fully stock, rooted with stock debloated, and now on rooted stock. Should I just wait and see what roms come out or should I try to return it and if I should return it is there a way back to non rooted fully stock? Thank you for your time.
edit 5/30: i just got done formating the int and ext storage to start from scratch. after that i noticed hyperdrive was just released so i installed that. phone softbricked cause i tried to install the ads mod from the app he has on the rom. was getting missing file errors and i/o error when tring to restore/wipe/install anything. did the no-wipe factory image and had to wipe data and factory reset after to get it out of bootloop. now im back and phone seems to be running great (but not sure about the voice commands and smart screen stuff just yet). i think my problem was i didnt change the save folder for titanium backup to sd card and i had some rom backups in the int. storage. figured this out when i went to make a backup and it said not enough memory. so if your having problems with lag double check your int. storage to make sure you have plenty of space.
Sounds like every S 4 I have ever seen.

Cleanrom would be nice right about now but I heard it will be a while till he can get his hands on one. Looks like I may have to just wait it out for some roms to come out And hope the wonderful devs can get this thing running good. God knows verizon cant do it.

Looking at his site, he got his donations, and was about to purchase the device. He should just be waiting for its arrival. Give it a week or two and he will likely have a ROM cooked

Thanks for the heads up! I ran it on my note 2 and loved it. Can't freaking wait!
Glad I brightened things up a bit for you!! Heck I am looking to upgrade soon and am considering the gs4. Been testing the waters in anticipation. I ran one of scotts roms years ago on my Optimus S (moved to the nexus s 4g, to currently the epic 4g touch) and he made a solid rom then, I know that.
I came from a note 2 as well. I can't wait for custom roms. The stock rom Sucks. I miss clean rom and beanstown but I'm sure everything will be here soon because the S series devices always have more development because they're more popular and more of an everyone phone unlike the note which isn't for everyone.

I've noticed the Verizon S4 lags when compared to the T-Mobile variant.
the issue with links you cant click is an bug browser freezing up.hopefully they will fix it soon.temp u can clise tge broswer and then fire back up and it should work.
I wonder in Verizon applied the latest update like all the other carruers did that took care of lag etc...I remember something in early may that the other carriers were getting an update to address the lag issue and since our phones were just released last week...it may be a little bit before Verizon catches up.

The Galaxy S3 was the first android phone that I could say finally solved the laggyness that has been there since the droid. I have an iphone 5, S3, and the S4. The S4, at least mine, is clearly faster then my S3, and the even the iphone (which has always been pinnacle of non lag phones)......can't even compare with the S4 smoothness, and that is saying something.
I hate lag, hated it since the OGDroid, and can see immediately. I'm sorry you're having issues with you're S4, but I really don't know what alternative phone you could buy as of now.....because, if i'm not mistaking, the S4,HTC One or Iphone.....are the only phones you can buy with the least amount of lag as of todays date.
Best of luck to you.
Well I need to do some more testing with the voice command. I went outside today (were is bright) and noticed that some of the clear stickers on the side of the phone were still there. Just not to sure if the ones I pulled off was covering the mic. If it's better from here on out I will definitely feel like a de de deee.
edit: still having a little of trouble but it may have to do with background noises and the phone volume being all the way up.
Tks

I turned off all the Air gestures, and other 'features' that I don't need or care about and switched to ADW EX launcher.
Very pleased with the S4.
I'm happy with my GS4. No issues with me. My battery has been treating me much better compared to my old LG Revolution. I haven't noticed any lag on my phone and that's something I noticed all the time on 2.3.6

That sucks. I'm glad I haven't had any issues.
I kept reading posts about the S4 being laggy, so I was a little worried when I picked mine up yesterday. Luckily, I seem to have a lag free version.
I came from an iPhone 5, and this S4 is much faster. Prior to that I had a gnex, and there is night and day difference between that and the S4.
Omg, Clean Rom is coming!!!!!! I cant wait, his roms are seriously top notch, I have renewed faith!!!!

What are you guys talking about here, you can run other carrier roms, what is your hold up? You can run any rom the ATT I337 can, to include sprint and t-mobile roms. you just need to use the loki patch (verizon) within the recovery apps. Smile and start here...Cheer up Charlie!

if anyone knows what's different with this please can you tell me?
Thank you
Locations services is all I could actually physically see but I'm sure theres some bug fixes but it's not enough for all the hoopla ..

yeah not really much going on here... when I had the Driod maxx there was a huge difference... visually and all.. maybe its cause we stayed on the same home launcher and it didn't upgrade?
Like I told waco, this update was like putting a new engine in your old car. The paint job is the same, the stereo is the same, the seat covers are the same, but it will drive more smoothly and more efficiently. We kept the same car exterior (sense 5.5) but got a new engine (kitkat).

Advice please. I'm wanting opinions on what's my best options

Ok first off, I'm a noob to the g900t.
I have been on the att varient for some time.. been upset about no root on 5.0 bit the bullet and moved on
So no I got this great deal today. I got a used tmobile s5. I unlocked it and it has been rooted. It's running 4.4.2 stock.
I'm wondering what is my best options.
Should I install a custom recovery like TWRP or cwm?
Should I stay at kitkat or move on to lolipop. I didn't like lolipop on the att s5.. but for me to like it, I would have to tear into it with exposed pretty good.
I know asop doesn't seem to be the best option because nothing ever works right. I loved cm on my nook hd tho.
I'm looking for a custom rom perhaps that has good performance. Good battery and retains the features like camera being good and such.
Maybe stock debloat ed is my best bet.. who knows..
What do u guys think?
What route should I take?

LP update is trash on are device taking away excellent S5 performance.
I think Sammy aka SamApple is pushing sad S5 LP so we will upgrade to crappy S6.
Thank goodness for Odin - tar. & root
Anyway my recommendation.
First off Device is used so buy new battery. B&H Photo sells Official S5 battery for 23,00 which is great deal just picked one up..
Odin KitKat NK2 , Root device , Install TWRP , Make backup & Install Titanium back & freezzz the bloat.
From there you will be mint.
My S5 is 14 months old did the above couple days ago.
Result:
Screen on time & device sleep is like the good old days
2hr 40min off charger with GPS,LTE etc enabled - 40 min screen on time browsing web - emails - texting = 10% battery used
Its running so smooth I purchased new Spigen Tough Armor Case for it today lol .
.
Some numbers running NK2 with new battery.
Device
Display setting 70% , LTE signal 3 - 5 bars & GPS enabled.
Apps running in background:
Weather Underground 4hr refresh.
Rain Alarm Pro 30min refresh.
Twitter Push
Periscope push
Gmail Push 2 accounts
Activity
Gmail , Twitter , Texting , Phone calls , Internet browsing ,checking weather , Tunein radio , John Legere periscope session , some Youtube etc.....basically everyday moderate use.
My Results
Full battery last night , played a bit , let device sleep overnight , moderate use today,
Battery seems to be pretty strong. I was not digging the god awful touchwiz lolipop. Kitkat was OK. When I got the phone it was running kitkat and the NE6 firmware modem kernal ect..
I odined the stock OB1 complete package. Tried lolipop a few days and wasn't impressed. Performance was good. Ui horrible.
Prefered the kitmat darker ui.
And with kitkat I could at least xposed some of the horrible touchwiz crap.
Fact is tho.. I'm a toggle man. I want to toggle everything. Mobile data, lte, ect.
I have always been a fan of CM. I personally like the asop feel. I was going to give touchwiz a shot... It failed me so I am going to see how this latest build of cm12.1 does for me.
So far no noticeable problems but will have to cycle it a few times to see how battery life goes.
And honestly. I'm not really missing any of the features. Camera is good.. Even without 4k.
I kinda wish fingerprint scanner would work but other then that I'm not missing anything else. Fair trade off for having more control and a good ui.
I'll let u know how it goes. If it sucks I'll go back and try ur suggestion.
Right now I'm just wondering if the ob1 modem I'm using is the best option for the 5.1.1 based cm12.1... I may try updating it to the one for 5.1 T-Mobile released.
I attached a photo to this post of my toggles. In notification quick settings.. If I could get that in TW.. all would be wonderful lol
Antutu score was 47000 right after install with no mods or overclock . stock ob1 was 45000 after a lot of app freezing and tweaks.
