Hey everyone, if you've updated to 4.3 go into the Phone app, settings. You can now enable dial pad auto-complete.
It will auto-complete both phone numbers and names (T9-style). So if you want to call Anna and you enter 2662, Anna's number will appear as an auto-complete option.
Nifty!
Nice to see more cyanogenmod features coming to aosp.

Haha yes. It's a very nice unobtrusive implementation.
I think there may have been patent issues preventing them before, but they found a way around.

CM is awesome. Everybody knows that.
Honestly, on this one, it's about time. This is a simple feature I've been missing, and the only conclusion I could come to is that someone held a patent for it and that's why it wasn't here. It's in Windows Mobile (earliest version I ever used), and most other platforms, including feature phones. This one excites me, but it's still about time.
(That said, I'm thankful to no longer use a 3rd party dialer to accomplish this).

This is not cyanogenmod feature, this feature is from old WinMo OS called Smart dialing

nice function. Just one question:
The auto-complete only shows three best matching names. What if you have more than three Annas (following your example)? Can't find any way to select other than first three contacts showing (as you can do in any custom ROM)...
Thank you.

You don't need more than three friends with the same name!
I appreciate having this in the stock dialer, since every dialer replacement I've ever tried had serious lag to it. If this was the first appearance of such a feature on any OS I would say it was GREAT, but this feature has existed elsewhere for YEARS, and the other implementations I've seen make this look amateurish at best. Come on Google! Really? A list of up to 3 people, and no way to select which number to use for the selected contact?
Very nice to finally see it here. One of the things I've been missing. And I love the implementation of it. I'm very glad Google took the time to actually refine Android and polish it instead of rushing out with a bunch of crazy features and introducing more bugs on top of the ones that were already there for some people.

Long-press on the contact and you can do just that (and set a number as default!)
I actually don't mind only having 3 choices - look up last names or first and last initial and this should never really be a problem. I really like the animations when the choices fly around and wish the keyboard would do that with suggestions as you typed. Some consistency across the OS is nice

What if i got 5 friends named ANNA with no middle/last names and i only distinguish them thru their contact photos? The phone's features should be designed according to how people want to use them, not forcing people to use them the way the developers want them to (apple-ish). Nonetheless, still a good feature and yeah, nice animations too :good:

I bought my Galaxy Tab3 * inch 315 from Negri Electronics a week ago.... Phone AND LTE data with certian providers

Ebay also has the 311 - phone and H+ data..

Amazon probally has them too
I didn't mean that. I don't want to have tablet with ability to make phone calls like galaxy tab t311 but I was talking about android system version. If there is possible to install android made for phones into tablet?
oh... ok...
see this section here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development
check the threads there to see if there are any ROMS that will go onto your decive to give you the Phone UI.
I wOUNDN'T flash any roms for OTHER devices onto yours though as different 8inchers have different model numbers are are non-compatable.
Look for one cooked up just for your model..
good luck
ps.. I dont like the tablet UI either.. wasted space with the onscreen buttons...
I like my phone UI on the 315 and a physical home button...
which model do you have???

Sorry... Im just trying to get to the bottom of what firmware you have on your 310.
I have the 315 and the FW looks and acts just like my Mega and my friends s4 both 4.2.2....
with only 3 exceptions that ive noticed so far..
1) the stock Messaging app.. the multiple incoming screen is different from the phones..
2) the stock email app is slightly different
3) the Settings screen is tab like instead of the mobile type.. ie: my device, more..etc..
Can you tell us the 'annoying' features that you speak of that differ from your Samsung phones which are also at 4.2.2.
we hope to get to the bottom of your question soon.. I dont have your device here in front of me, that's why all the questions...

Hello,
I am new to Samsung and have a question.
Previously I have been an HTC user, and was able to restore a Developer version (HTC ONE) ROM to a At&t (HTC One) through TWRP.
So is it possible to flash a non At&t STOCK ROM to my At&t Note 4?
And also how would I go about rooting manually. CF-autoroot not available for the At&t version.
Thanks..
Nasvi, due to that att's bootloader is locked we are unable to flash any sort of custom recovery. As for root, I'm also hoping that someone finds root soon. It could take a while for a work around to getting a custom recovery, as it took the ATT G3 around 3 months for a workaround. If your looking for an alternative, I would get an international or the tmo note4. Hope this helps.

No.
Is it just me or do you find yourself hitting the back button more often. Sometimes for me it doesn't seem to register after the first hit. I have to hit it a second time to get it to go back.

How to reach items on the keyboard?
On the keyboard each item has what on other keyboards might be thought of as "ALT" symbols. As an example "n" might have a ";" in the upper right corner. However if you use the capital the small "n" becomes a capital "N". As there is not an "ALT" key I cannot figure out how to reach those figures.

There are two ways you can use those alt symbols.
You can hold the button ie "n" has "," with the symbol you want and it will bring up the alt symbol.
If you hold "n" down it will pop up "," and you can insert that into what you are typing.
The other is switch to the symbol keyboard bottom left of the keyboard there is a Sym button tap that and it will switch to the symbols keyboard. There are 2 pages 1/2 and 2/2.
To return to ABC tap ABC.
There is one simple option I have been digging for since I got mine several days ago and still cant find it. Where is the option to enable multiple widgets on the locKscreen? This option was under lockscreen settings on my s4, but isnt on the note 4, cant find it under any of the settings.

Not at the present moment. I'm in the same situation. I went with the Note 4 because the 5 did away with removable battery and expanded microSD. I just got mine last week and it has 5.1.1 on it. So I guess we just have to wait it out for now. I've subscribed to this thread and hope there is a root soon!
I knew I shouldn't have updated! But I didn't do it on purpose, I think it did it on it's own or while in my pocket...
Yeah I stupidly updated not realizing there wasn't a root available and well I'm here to join the club lol
Should be soon.

That's normal. Samsung assumes that if your messaging app is open, and your screen is on, then you will be able to see new messages appear on the screen. There's no way to change this unfortunately.
It sucks for me too because I use multi window sometimes, and the messaging app is open along with something else. I often make the messaging app smaller until I need to reply in a conversation, but I have to constantly check for new messages because no sound plays (or vibration).

"Transform into" and Auto shape options in S-Note suddenly gone after 5.1.1 update
Hi, just updated my device to the latest 5.1.1 Android version,
and for some peculiar reason, some features in the S-Note app are suddenly gone,
such as the "transform into" option that was extremely useful to me.
Done some googling and saw that the app used to have an extension pack option,
though nothing like that exists now in the app.
Any sort of help would be much appreciated.

This cannot be. I just updated my device to the latest android version 5.1.1 as you did yourself. I am able to have every feature i used to in the previous android version including the "transform into". When you are taking note on top of the S note app there's a "bar" with features such as pencil, eraser etc. Have you tried to extend this bar. If so; you'll see there's the tranform into button along with some other features. Try it out, let me know what happend.

Hi, the bar was already extended, and the only options i can recall are the basic ones, such as the pencil, eraser, the cloud thing (to select things with it), and that's about it. no transform into button, and also not where it was located before, after you select something with the lasso, the option is completely gone..
Would you please take a screenshot of the app and show the option?
I am 200% sure i've checked everything.
Unfortunately I already burned the Kitkat rom on my device so I can use these features again..
but if i am mistaken, and indeed missed it, I will update again.

Look at the screenshot and:
(1) Select the area you want to transform using the "cloud thing" you mention above; which's happens to be the lasso.
(2)You should be able to see a new bar like the one in the screenshot.
(3)Now, choose the second option (quadrangle thing) and it will ask you what tranform you want to operate, for instance math formula, text, shape, shape + text etc.
Hope I helped ya at all!!! :laugh::fingers-crossed:

Solution found
For anyone still interested I found a solution.
It seems that for some strange reason and for some lucky owners like me the Andorid 5.1.1 update can render the S Note not fully operational (transform into missing). So I used the Smart Tutor app from Samsung and the tech guy told me thar after checking everything he found that the only way to correct the issue was to return the tablet to its factory settings (i.e: reset the tablet) .
So there it is. You have to restore the tablet to its original 5.1.1 state. Before starting BE CAREFUL , you have to backup your data (via google account, via samsung account and even better via the samsung's Smart switch app that's you call). Otherwise the reset will wipe out/delete all personal data.
So after doing you backup watch this video to perform the reset: youtube.com/watch?v=NDp_9mfBS98. There are similar videos on youtube so again your call. The process is quick.
Once you reset the tablet and restore your data you will have to do some adjusments but you will not lose data (if previously backed up).
Everything went as suppossed and now I have the S Note app fully operational.
