Android 4.4.4 Review!

Hi all !
After one day usage! this is my review for KitKat 4.4.4 in our S III LTE International I9305!!!
Well! Let s start with good things!
No bugs at all compared to 4.3 which is used for 8 months! Gaming is good! All games are working smoothly and with amazing graphics!
All new features! (lockscreen music! light unlock effect! plam motion! zoom anywhere!.....)
Battery life isnt bad (18 hours without any tweaks or power saving tips! 3h4m on screen 3h wifi on)
Graphics are good! I noticed that the setting graphics are better than 4.3!
Now time for bad things!!
I noticed that Touchwiz launcher didnt change! It is the same as 4.1.2! I was hoping for note 3's or s5's touchwiz!!
No camera shortcut on locksceen!
Phone Browser Calculator are the same as 4.3!
No special features!
Q:Can I install S5's or note 4's TW without changing rom! And how can I root it! I tried CF-root and didn't work
In the endd! Thanks Samsung for updating our phone after long waiting! Untill android L

im still using stock 4.1.2 without root......now how can i update this 4.4......??

Happy to finally install 4.4.4 and rooted. I used CF auto root, it completed successfully, but when i tried launching superSU it failed to detect root until upgraded it via playstore and it updated su binary and knocked off KNOX! ?

wait, how is it possible that you have the camera shortcut on the lockscreen?

I'm assuming it's something to do with the country's CSC..

To have the option camera shortcut on the lockscreen you must have:Settings/Device/Lock Screen/Screen security/Swipe.Then appearce the option Multiple widgets.:good:

I'm in stock 4.1.2... To me the 4.3 was more slow and unstable then the version i'm using. How is 4.4.4? Everything works? Any changes to camera? Is a fast Rom?? Bigger scores in benchmark tools?

Well that camera will need to be swiped from right to left, when it should have been available directly on the lockscreen itself [emoji17]

Hotspot quick settings toggle

Has anyone been able to get the hotspot quick settings toggle icon to appear? It showed up automatically on my N4 after I installed the lollipop update. So far, its not showing up on my N6. I've turned hotspot on several times but still no icon.
Google really needs to add a way to customize that menu.

Not sure why yours isn't showing up... the only thing I've changed which might be related is adding the following to build.prop
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Hope this helps.

Mine didn't show up on my GPS Nexus 6 running on AT&T until I made this change.

I guess that's the reason then. I wasn't planning on rooting my phone but between this and the encryption, I might not have a choice. Thanks for the responses guys. I have no idea why Google would restrict that convenient button by default.

Thanks, the hotspot toggle showed up as soon as I added this to my build.prop.

I got mines once I turn it on without root and build.prop edit..

What do you have to do to have it normally pop up in quick settings? Is it supposed to show up after the first use?

What carrier are you on? Maybe that's the difference? I have been unable to get it to show up on both AT&T and Verizon.

AT&T and Verizon phones both check your subscription before allowing the hotspot and this is why the toggle doesn't show up on its own

That must be the reason since that check is what the build.prop change disables. I still think its silly that it affects the button though. My plan allows tethering. Can't I have the quick settings button and when I press it, it can check my subscription just like the deeper settings menu option?

No Silent mode during sleep

After updating to lollipop I found out that the silent mode doesn't work during sleep. Even though it shows its ON.. all the sounds can be heard and notification sound also works.. Anyone else got this problem?? :screwy:

Guess what I was trying to say is there are many ways to set it up. I have mine set for priority interruptions only and it works great. I was only suggesting there is information on setting it up on the web including Motorola's site. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Oh... one other thing to be aware of is that a bug exists in Moto Voice that sets the ringer volume to 60% (if it is set below that, or even off), every time it is invoked, purposely or accidentally. Perhaps that is what is causing the behavior you're seeing.

I think Motorola has to update assist.
Right now seems that android's settings overwrite Moto's settings.

Assist works great for me. Every night I have it go to sleep and 12:00 and all notifications are quiet until 5:00. It just uses your priority settings, so I am not sure why it isn't working for you. Your screenshot wasn't taken during a time it was supposed to be sleeping, right? Because those settings (as shown) are allowing all interruptions.

Mine works fine, but the deal is: some apps override priority modes by themselves (looking at you, facebook stuff), you have to set them manually. At least, that was my case.

You need to set the days and time for "Downtime" in which Moto Assist (Sleep Mode) enables Priority Mode.

[Q] Heads Up Notifications

I was wondering if I was missing a setting somewhere. I have just switched from 4.4 to 5.0.1 and I don't see any heads up notifications on my Nexus 6. I thought this was a feature but I must have to enable it somewhere that I haven't seen yet. Any help with what I need to do is welcomed.

i see them on every notification, even when updating apps.

I thought on stock they pretty much only showed for hangouts but I didn't stay stock long.

May I see the screenshot of your device's homescreen? That can help me to solve your issue

Really? It's a pretty barren home screen, would be nice if you could tell just from that.

**EDIT**
Just a little update. This morning I have received 3 heads up notifications:
Messenger - Perfect stayed on screen long enough to read
Battery Low - Perfect stayed on screen long enough to read
Twitter - Stayed on the screen for less than half a second and then disappeared
Got no notifications from:
Pushbullet
Gmail
Inbox
Play Store (when updating apps - I saw this on a custom ROM on 4.4 so don't know if it actually does it on 5.0.1)
Google Calendar
Google+
Hangouts
Soundcloud

Headsup notification is not available for all app ATM. Only those app which enable notification with setPriority(PRIORITY_MAX) or setPriority(PRIORITY_HIGH) will be available for headsup notification. BTW go to settings>sounds and notification> interruption> when call and notification arrive and select "always interrupt" if it has not been selected yet

With some custom roms such as SlimLP, you can turn it on and off for all apps.

Wake screen on notification disable

Hello all,
I have noticed that since the last FW update (C432) I cannot locate a setting any longer to disable "wake screen on notification".
I went through each menu item in an attempt to disable it.
Anyone have an idea where this setting has gotten to so I can turn this wake scree off?

It's there in 131. Calls and messages show up normally.

Nope. I have pulse light notification, but the top option is gone since I installed 131(C432)

I got 131 and I still have it on my p20 pro.
Update: for some reason my screenshots are to big so i cannot upload them here :/

Ok.. Figured it out. I had to force stop "themes" and disable. Then reboot and the menu item returned. It was reproducible as well. If I enabled themes and set a different theme, the menu item was gone.

This might seem a stupid question, but I don't know how to set the theme to default!
I came from Samsung to Huawei 2 days ago, and I am struggling with my inability to find things on this phone.

For me (L09 variant) it was the Caribbean Beach theme which was default when i first setup the phone so i selected that and voila the option appeared to switch on to wake screen on notifications
