I am thinking of returning my At&t note 3 , However I would like to know if the possibility of the At&t note 3 bootloader being unlocked is really hopefull?
I don't know about the bootloader but I know one of my main reasons of me possibly returning it was that I did not have root to remove all of the unwanted garbage. But now that I have root I'm not too worried about the bootloader

wow thanks for the fast response! Yes I see, could you possibly give me a guide of what is good to uninstall after root? and if I need a special program to remove the bloatware? thanks!
I personally use titanium backup and I freeze a lot of the apps... Mostly Samsung and all att let me see if I can make a list of ones I removed. I know I may have to put some Samsung apps back if I get the galaxy gear. But I actually thought about returning it as well then when I saw the root come out, I did the root and it was perfect. And now I love it. Have you found the root for it?

yes I understand there is a root de la vega, but I am waiting for the developer to post the new root method so I dont have to downgrade. I will try titanium backup app once I root.:good:
Sorry for the screenshots... But I was about to lay down and I know how it is when you want to play with your phone so I uploaded the screenies of the apps I froze

Hey all, I just picked up a galaxy gear watch, coming from a Sony smartwatch... Wondering if there is (even with root) an app to change the phone's ringer mode from ring/vibe/silent? There was an app like this for the Sony smartwatch... So, hope there is for gg.... Can't find it or the option..

Built in feature.
I couldn't find it in the features... Sure I can turn the watch sounds on/off, but not the phones (from the watch)

Ohhh ! No, sadly that is not a built in feature..
Sorry I didn't realize what your were asking.
Ah okay, no worries, I thought I was blind in looking through... Hope Samsung (or a crafty dev) might be able to implement this... It was quite handy on my Sony smartwatch when going in / out of meetings (mute my ring tones, etc...)

Why not just keep your phone permanently on vibrate or quiet? You'll get notifications on your watch so you won't miss anything?
I just saw a Samsung add on FB and it showed a gear getting a call with picture ID. does anyone know if the Gear can do this or is it good Photoshop on the add.
Yes as long as you have a picture set for the person that is calling you there picture will show on the watch.

Not that I know of. When I set my watch up the first phone call I got had a picture of the person calling. Do any of the pictures you have set up already show up on your phone screen when the person calls?

Anytime.

Ah man another thing doesn't work for me. Guess it's because I am using my gear with a nexus 5. Mine doesn't even show the persons name. Just the number.

Pictures do work on the watch. It seems to be sporadic IMO. I havent really paid attention to the pattern. I dont know if its a resolution issue or if the pic has to be linked to a certain account on the phone or what. The Samsung kiosk in Best Buy in my area was useless. I knew more about the watch than they did.

you seem to be overreacting. he simply asked how contact pictures works. there is absolutly nothing with using gear with other devices. as it has been stated before, not all functions work.

Sorry if I sounded rude. It is just that if he knows the Gear doesn´t get full functionality with his Nexus, then why is he wondering why he doesnt get caller id and photo.... It is pretty obvious it is for lack of compatibility.
In my case, installing all apks on my htc one (except weather and music, obiusly),extracted from gear manager apk i can see the names of my contacts when they call me. I haven't photos with my contacts to try it

Thank you both for useful posts / help! I re installed the apks from gear manager 1.5 and now works - I have caller ID and photos.
I think I must have missed one apk when installing the first time.
Now to try ang get notifications to work.
Hello! I have a note 3 and in enough time my phone will boot then go to the at&t logo then just sit there for ~5~ min or even more...then sometimes will go back to the Samsung thing back to At&T logo and give it enough time and hard rest but it comes back and I have my phone again. Pain....in..my..ass
The solution: factory reset...but I hate doing this because I'm doing it repeatly now...
Has anyone else has this problem or have any advice for me?
Edit: Does anyone know anyone willing to trade a Note 3 AT&T for a SM-N9005? It has a glass screen protector and a aluminium home button.

What did you do to your phone? As in did you root it? Try to install a custom ROM? A custom recovery? Anything like that? You can odin back to stock from Root De La Vega from what I understand. I don't see anybody trading their phone for a broken one. You can't even trade here on XDA, you have to use Swappa or something else.
I added xposed and some apps the ones I am using are
Call recording
Gravity Box
Wanam
I can't install any custom Roms bootloader is still locked :/
So I fixed it by just factory resting everything. So my point on posting this is to see if anybody has this problem. The phone isn't broken it in perfect condition. I just don't know how much longer I can take without an unlocked bootloader.
If you wanted I could screenshot of what apps are using root?

Try taking your SD card out and then see if you still have the long boot or loop issue. Some phones are having issue reading certain brand SD cards and it id causing long boots or other strange problems..
Interesting....how old school lol
I'll try that

Just curious what (security hacks & advance mods) settings did you use in wanan?
when you got your note 3...You didnt carry over your sd card with anything on it did you from prior device? Or use titanium backup?
Id try to trouble shoot it this way...Disable wanan...reboot see If it does it again....If so, start with the other app and disable or unistall.....Keep trying you'll find the source
Gravity Box is not to be used with Note 3 ROM. I know things work with it but the OP says not to use on TouchWiz roms. Or I might be wrong..

I had the same issue I guess it coz of Gravity Box, it is advised not to use Gravity Box on Note 3 Touch Wiz I removed it and never faced the Boot Loop or System UI Stopped working since then.
I probably didn't give the phone much of a chance I only had it for 48 hours, but the lag and the fact I got offered a iPhone 5S, Galaxy Note 3 and a Nexus 7 (2013) for it, made the decision easy.
What phones have people decided to move too, either by trading or returning there Galaxy S5?

You got offered all three? or chose one of the three? - 48 hours isn't much of a test I gotta say, I'm actually toying moving to it myself (M7>Note 3> Nexus 5). I ordered an M8 but.. problems with delivery + CPW being idiots I cancelled it.. however I'm in two minds still as to switch to the S5 or the M8.

I got offered all three for the S5, so it was kind of a no brainer. I'm now toying with the idea of trading the iPhone for another S5, and trading the Note 3 for an iPhone, seems long winded but that's the only option. I need an android phone and a phone with iOS.
Regarding the lag, I've read a few places (reviews also) that it can be pretty bad, how true is it? - surely a phone with such a high spec shouldn't lag even with TW bloat?
Where did you get this offer? I'd happily part with my s5 for those 3!

I got the S5 Yesterday, and it FLIES! This is my First Samsung phone, not a fan of the UI really, but came from HTC, figured I would go this way and I am happy so far. The Phone is super fast, though, but then again coming from an Evo LTE is a huge jump, even though that phone I LOVED!

Well, I've owned one for about a week now and I don't have all this lag that some people are talking about. Sure there might be a tiny hiccup here and there and some of the native apps take a second or two to open up from a cold start, but I don't have any major issues.
It is nothing out of the ordinary and it's an overall fast and smooth device.

It's all simulated lag. Turn off double click to start S-Voice. Disable My Magazine. Turn all animations down to 0.5x and BOOM, "lag" gone.
I actually did this side by side with the M8. I noticed the M8 was ridiculously fast at opening and switching between apps and the S5 was always slightly behind. After changing the animations on the S5 to 0.5x, BAM same speed.
I went to the s5 from the s3, as I skip every other galaxy. (s1-s3-s5). I have to say, what a difference between this and the s3. Dont get me wrong, they are both similar. But a 1080p amoled is stunning, the phone also feels great and is a beast. Also, not sure why so many people are complaining about the finger scanner, I can easily unlock using one hand and my thumb. Great phone !

I'm trying your tip. There's some lag in the s5, I can't deny it. I didn't have that with my n5. TW probably doesn't help here, although this is an awesome phone.

Make sure to reboot your phone too. Phone was laggy as hell when first booted. The only thing that is a little slow for my taste is opening the multitasking list.

Personally I think it's a fair trade off. I had the M7 and it has bare bones software features. If they would have added more software functions like multi window I probably would have got the M8. Realistically the M8 is the M7 with a depth sensor. They didn't really need to upgrade the processor because it ran fine on the 600 chipset. At least I know Samsung is trying to utilize the power of the 801 chipset.

When people see new devices it's like an ora of "I want" - you'd be surprised what some people would offer for something so that they can get their hands on it straight away. Crazy offers aren't that uncommon tbh.
