I believe it can be rooted but if that's true I just cannot figure out why we can root a note 8 but we can't root any galaxies lights at 8 or 9

Is there any word of any developers trying to get around the 80% battery limit?

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:

I loved my note 2 but I was expecting note 3 to make me more happier, first the boot loader is locked which has already pissed me off. Then so many other issues google map voice was on s voice then it got fixed now WiFi is not working properly then as a business man I need my phone to ring whenever someone needs my service but when it is in my pocket for whatever reason it goes on silence mode and so many other things that is giving me enough reasons to sell it and buy note 2.
Just wanted to share my experience here. The phone is fast but I would still prefer note 2

I thought about going back to a note 2 also when I fist got the ATT note 3. What you should really do is sell your ATT note 3 and buy yourself a T-Mobile note 3, then root, unlock using chain fires region unlock (3 bucks) throw your ATT sim in the tmo phone, change your APN's to ATT and flash what ever you want. This phone has been rock solid for me in every way since I switched to a tmo phone on ATT network.

I agree. When my Note 3 isn't being used, the battery depletes at just 1-2% per hour. That's stock/unrooted, nothing done about bloatware, WiFi and GPS enabled, no power-saving modes used.

I agree. Mine used to be that nice. I can not figure out what's going on. I've uninstalled just about everything..it seems to happen when my signal is weak but android os is strange way to report it. Plus my signal has always been weak at work but this android os/battery drain is only about a week old. It started when I rooted using kingo.
Something during that process or something they have hidden is killing my phone...I'm on m19 so not possible to return to stock.

You should try putting it in airplane mode for a while (when your not expecting any important calls or texts) and see if the drain remains. Or else unroot and do a factory reset.

Gsam, better battery stats, wakelock detector, carat. It seems to be when my signal is weak. I'm good right now but I'm on wifi/lte. When I get back to work..it drops.
Being on build m19 I was under the impression that I couldn't unroot and factory reset..I've read I couldn't return to stock. Maybe I'm mistaken.

You are so right bro, this would be a good lesson for me to wait little longer and not buy a phone which can not be optimized the way I like it.
Nexus 5 and back to note 2,would be my options but I am also thinking about s5 which is around the corner.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I have times when the battery drains faster than others and I'm pretty sure it's because the phone is switching between 3g and lte constantly while at work where the lte signal is weak. When I'm away from work battery drainage is just fine. Do you have a weak lte signal making the device constantly switch frequencies?

Yeah, that's pretty extreme. My battery's been discharging for almost 3 hours, and my Android OS shows 15% usage, CPU total 5m29s, Data sent 24.90KB, Data received 337KB. Stay Awake isn't even listed for it.
Will the tmobile running on at&t get LTE?

I wouldn't wait on the s5, unless it's with another carrier. It's going to be locked down just like the note 3. Heck pretty soon we won't need an AT&T section on xda anymore.

Well I wouldn't buy the Att version if it is gonna be locked like note 3 , hell no.
I am gonna wait for s5 to come out and pay the full price and forget about Att. I agree with you there would no Att section on xda since Att sucks. It pisses me off to check the other carriers note 3 section and how they enjoy customizing it and here we are stuck on att 's B.....SH.....T

Yeah, I saw there was another thread in the Gear 2 forums (they should probably combine them!). They said the same thing about it being international or something. I read one post saying they installed it with Odin, not sure if that was true but I will just hold off installing it.
Thanks!

I have no issues here in US. I flashed the Greek firmware in Odin and all is well through a normal day of usage and apps install as usual via Samsung Apps. I'm about to try reverting just for shiggles and see how that goes, for no reason other than curiosity.

Ditto... somehow no one has posted anything about what this build has to offer. I find that sort of strange.
I honestly haven't noticed anything much. I did notice that the occasional artifacts left behind by a previous screen when scrolling through my apps seem to have stopped. Other than that no visible changes to me.

Hi guys, there's a new official BTU firmware available via ota. Change log lists s health improvement plus ui improvement. Will test and report anything extraordinary. Personally I'm hoping the pedometer learns to count steps and the heart rate sensor to stop jumping from 70 to 140 in a few seconds.

Hey guys. I'll be picking up a Note 8 in few months and in my country there is only N950F(carrier models) N950F dual sim(if it does even exist) and N950FD. Which one should I go for if I consider unlocking my phone someday?

Those all have unlocked bootloaders, but some users have had issues with the OEM unlock toggle. Check out the OEM unlock thread and read up from there. It's a large thread

I am curious as to why when I run the benchmarking app anututu on the note 9 I consistently get approx 168000 but when I ran it previously on the note 8 got 203000. Do I maybe need to factory reset my note 9 and then rerun and gradually install apps and see what is causing the slow down ?
