wxpwzrd Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I just got the 4.4.2 Kit Kat package for my Note 3. Snapdragon SM-N9005 Thailand. It came OTA. Kies said I was already current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Any good? Or too soon to tell I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxpwzrd Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Too soon. I have had it all of about 30 minutes. Only had the Note about a week or two. I guess it has a smaller footprint and is supposed to be a bit more speedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualbiker Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Wow. OK then.

Shurup Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I wouldn't upgrade to it just yet, reading trough the XDA forums, there're too many bugs in it. One of them is you do not have a permission to write to the external sd card I think, you can't create folders, apps can't write to it too, there is a separate patch that needs to be flashed to remove this glitch, but you have to be rooted for that I believe. Just too many bugs now, I'll wait, my rooted 4.3 JB works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique355 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I updated my Galaxy Note 3 to Android 4.4.2 and except for the locking screen, I see and feel no difference. On the locking screen is an icon for (supposedly) direct access to the camera, but it doesn't work. Nothing happens when I touch this camera button.

Give us an update a little later as you continue playing with your phone. So far I've read a mixed bag of reviews on this new update, starting with people having all sort of problems and things not working on their phones, to (few) people claiming speed and battery life increase. I have yet to see anything in it worth updating. Kind of the same mixed bag that ICS was, which I skipped entirely and went from GB straight to JB on my retired S2. Will probably wait until the Android 5 OS comes out (whatever it's code-name will be). But yes, please give us an update and you use this new update more and more.

tw25rw Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I want to know how this region locking "feature" affects people in reality. In theory, a Samsung phone bought in Europe or the US may not work with a Thai sim.. That will be a deal breaker when I next buy a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimite Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I recently bought a Galaxy Note 3 in the duty free on my way out of Thailand, which was for use here in the Middle east. I tested it with my ME SIM card in the shop before buying and it worked fine. The DF shop claimed they had inserted the unlock code but I dd not see them do that. My understanding is that so long as t has been used to make calls with a SIM from the region where it was purchased there is no issue. However I do agree this whole idea of locking has been badly handled by Samsung and needs clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurup Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 From what I've read, only some certain countries got the Note 3 with region lock, and Thailand wasn't one of them.For those unlucky folks, all it takes to avoid issues, is activate the phone with the SIM for that particular region inside, after the initial activation, the SIM can be removed and any other SIM can be used in place. I think this whole idea or region lock is silly, as well as some other features on new Samsung phones (Samsung Knox, locked bootloader), they seem like they're going Apple's way trying to piss their loyal customers, I can definitely say that it will be my last Samsung phone (it wasn't the 1st one) unless they smarten up, and I'm not the only one of the same opinion.

Using a local sim to unlock it first is enough in theory, but I also read reports that it didn't work as intended. As for being the last Samsung, I'm feeling the same way. They have nice screens and a good spec, but it won't take much to tempt me away. Maybe to LG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuamRudy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The greatest result I see from installing Kit Kat is that battery life is much, much better. The only negative I found so far is that MixZing, my favourite music player, won't open now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurup Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Like with every new Android update, users need to wait a little until developers update their APPs to work on the newer OS. That's part of the reason I haven't updated to 4.4.2 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGemini Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Any1 using note 3 (SM-N9005) on true move h ? I've just got 1 myself and the mobile data is not working on my note 3 (SM-N9005). Went to dtac shop earlier and asked to try out the network by inserting a dtac simcard and I instantly got a H+ connection. Haven't tried AIS yet. Anyone has experienced please share. Anyway I've updated my note 3 to kitkat as well. So far haven't got any issues with the phone. Very happy with it so far.

Sent from my SM-N9005 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app maybe you have to set your APN settings. The new Dtac sim probably had them baked into the sim.. I had to set the APN on my Moto G. http://cosmicbuddha.com/2013/05/thailands-true-move-h-apn-settings-for-internet/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGemini Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Thx 4 the tips. APN is set from new true simcard but still unable to use mobile data.

Went back to true already but the staff there can't figure out as well. They checked and said the phone is configured correctly. I checked true, Dtac and samsung shop in Bangkok, all are SM-N900 variant, not SM-N9005.

lomatopo Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Tried insert the same simcard into my wife's galaxy duos n instantly get the 3G connection. I would closely compare the APN settings which apparently work on the duos, and then manually replicate those on the other phone. I've seen many, many, many APN issues with TrueMove H, ranging from a bad username baked in to a SIM (Ture instead of True) to some phone models requiring default,supl for the APN type. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/642543-no-mobile-internet-on-gt-i9100-sgs2-and-true-h-sim/#entry6447312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

build6 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) a bad username baked in to a SIM (Ture instead of True) wow that really takes the cake I'd been unhappy I had to manually enter APN settings (like an animal!) for my AIS card but if this is the alternative......then i think I'm gonna stick with DTAC haha Edited February 15, 2014 by build6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGemini Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Duplicated the apn setting from wife's phone with no success. Searched on the Internet and found a few set of apn setting. Tried all of them but still nothing. Really pissed with true now. Also tried the link from true move h website to check if the phone can b supported by entering the imei code. Turns out my phone is not supported, which should not be. SM-N9005 has the widest range of accepted frequency/band. Guess it's time to say bye to true.

lomatopo Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I assume you are familiar with adding an APN, then saving it, then restarting the phone, then selecting that APN? I can think of no reasons why your N3 variant would not work with CAT/850 (TrueMove H)? I've had to trouble-shoot a fair amount of TrueMove H issues, and in each and every case it was a simple matter of properly configuring the APN. Most people forget to save the APN after they have configured it. Can you post screenshots of your attempted TrueMove H APN settings? Did you use default.supl for the APN Type? Otherwise stop by a True shop where they should be able to sort out the issue for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
