you just need to restart launcher pro after buying the unlock key

Yeah... You'll find with Launcher Pro that after installing most things you will need to restart it before they show up in the app drawer. Just hit Menu/Preferences/Restart Launcher Pro.

One more question how would I be able to text I read some where that you can text and call and on my sprint statement it does say unlimited texting.

What kind of tab do you have, check the dev section on how you can enable calls/text.
That feature comes standard on euro gsm tabs

Home button to get to the home screen during a call, then you should be able to access any app on the phone/tab including sms.

Galaxy Gear 1 issues with note 4

I'm quite happy with the note 4 so far and would like to keep it but I'm having issues with my Gear. I'm not sure if this is rom (currently on Null rom) related or note 4 only supports tizen, but these are my issues. I don't have these issues with my note 3.
1. When I get a text and I open it on the watch, it's supposed to clear the notification on the phone but it's not. So I still have to go the my messages on the phone and view them so the notification goes away.
2. I have my gear set up to auto unlock my phone when its near it, but it's not working. It stays locked (pattern unlock)
Anyone else with the Gear having any of these issues? If you're not can you tell me if you are using stock android rom or tizen. TIA.

interesting...I have a gear 2 neo coming, and I have a thread here as well, as so far, everyone says the Gear2 works flawlessly.
I assume the gear 1 and gear 2 use different firmware, so maybe that has something to do with it..
you might want to post this question in the "main" note 4 thread, to get more folks to look at it..

I'm also running null_23. Can confirm issue 2. I'm using hangouts for SMS. Not sure if notifications are dismissing for that, I'll let you know.

In some case I do put it in there but moderators always move it to Q&A which makes sense so I just put them in here.

Thanks for the confirmation. I tried rolling back to stock android rom but still the same. I really hope I don't have to go to tizen. I need my 60 second recoding which only can be had with Null rom.

Wase4711, Gear 1 and Gear 2 are significantly different. Gear 1's have the option of running android OR tizen, whereas gear 2 folks are pretty much locked into Tizen and that's that.

thanks, I did not know that:good:
whats the real difference when running either of them, outside of apps you might be able to load on the android OS?
tomorrow will be a busy day, configuring the note 4 and the gear 2!:cyclops:

using a regular rom on the Note 1, you can install LOTS of goodies.
Gear 2 apps are significantly more limited. IMO the gear 2 looks cleaner without that ugly wart camera.

that makes sense..
for me, the gear 2 had most of the things I would care about on it, plus, I knew getting the note 4 around the same time, my head would be exploding just getting that setup how I want it, let alone having to configure/learn how to use a Gear 2..Yeah, that "wart" of a camera on the gear 1 looked terrible..

How are you guys using null without Bluetooth tethering?

quick update; the gear 2 works fantastic with this phone..
I cant believe how clear and loud making a phone call from a watch actually is!
Plus, I get the "HD Voice" notification on the watch while calling, and its as clear as a bell!

Thanks for the update. It looks like I won't have a choice but to upgrade to tizen if I want my gear 1 to play right.

its not so bad; even though there arent a ton of programs for it, i really just want it for notifications/calls/texts/email and the pedometer and work out stuff. All that works great so far on a stock, non rooted note 4

Ya I use mine for mostly call, text notification, unlock feature but also camera and video recording. It beats holding a phone sometimes and having a 60 second recording (only available on custom rom) is a great.

Gifs not playing

Is anyone else's Note 8 having an issue where all gifs are being converted to jpg. Anytime someone sends me a live message who also have notes or a gif my phone downloads it as a jpg.
Me and my wife were in a group thread and her Verizon variant Note 8 downloaded it as a gif. My phone which is the Unlocked Variant downloaded the file as a jpg and it did not play. But anything I send, sends as gifs. Its just things I receive.

If you send the live message as an email attachment, does it arrive and play as a .gif ? Does it play as a .gif in other apps like Whatsapp?

That's interesting. It points more towards either a setting in your SMS messaging app or something to do with your carrier. Do you have a size limit in MMS settings maybe?

There wouldn't be, as far as I can remember it's limited by the carrier. I'd think big red was messing with you but a LOT of people are getting their phones today so I guess we will know for sure tonight or tomorrow.

wtff why they messing with us because we got the unlocked phone? That should be illegal. The OP said his wife has verizon version and works. This is not good ! Brand new phone can't have a 2017 text conversation? This is unacceptable. Do we go to samsung or Verizon for this issue?

Just tested my unlocked version on Sprint by having my wife text a gif from her S8+ and it plays...it does not auto repeat for every gif...but it plays all...
Try clearing the data and cache of the messaging app if you have not already done so...
If it helps...I did a factory reset when I received my device just in case of issues....

I am having the same issue with my Unlocked variant on Verizon. I even send myself a live drawing and it doesn't work upon receiving it. Oh no! My s4 was ok with gifs... come on. I haven't installed all my apps yet and I don't want to factory reset right after they're installed, but I guess I'll have to.
Already tried deleting cache and data for messaging, no go.

I had to reset to get Samsung Pay to work...something is always off with the shipped state of software...

Unfortunately, a factory reset did not fix it. I also can't attach a gif from the GBoard app. Boo, thought having android 7.1 would be nice for GIFs and messaging, but so far not on an unlocked Note 8 on Verizon...

Oreo on Note 8?

Has anyone checked if this article is trustworthy?
It's saying that Oreo is unofficially available for the US versions of the Note 8.

Personally, I won't be updating anything until it comes through officially via updates on the phone! I'm not going to muck about with my €1000 investment! I'm not even rooting this one! Usually I root to get rid of adverts but it seems that the Samsung adblockers seem to work well and paying €20 odd for their Disconnect Pro has stopped 90% of adverts coming through!

I don't use my phone all that much, so ads don't matter to me. My wife's on hers all the time and gets so pissed off at the ads on Chrome. Especially the popups that block the whole screen and you have to tap a tiny little X to close.

Go to your stock camera and swipe to the left and you should see a blue box that says create my emoji. Click on that and it should redirect you to the samsung galaxy apps page. It's really useless to be honest with you. Animoji for iphone is a lot better and innovative.

Yes they did! I was cursing and saying the exact same thing.. It's just like the device manager that they took from us for well over a year.. They are always messing with something and taking it something.. And if you look at the date on the kernel, they took a good month to pull things. They're not trying to make sure anything works on their silly network.. They are just trying to remove features in the frail "hope" that it will make people upgrade to the new models.
Same thing for security patches.. Notice we didn't get one at all for 3 months, while Samsung had been rolling them out every month steady. All you have to do is either read here in some of the other threads, or simply sammobile. The latter always tells when they're is an update our patch to any Samsung device. And I just sat, read, and observed. They do this every year, with every single new devices far as Samsung is concerned.
They let Verizon do that to us. But yes, Verizon is as crooked a carrier, as a bent telephone pole.. I feel you what though, it makes me feel just the opposite. Why in the world would I, as a consumer keep investing money in a device that isn't cheap by a Longshot as far as cellular devices are concerned, when all they're going to do, is disable features, that the device was designed for by the manufacturer..
It really, at this price point to me is simply sickening.. And I really and utterly refuse....
