any downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3.x? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Just to qualify, I don't give two ****s about tripping knox, I just want this stupid broken "update" off my god damned phone that I PURCHASED and OWN. I have searched and read for hours, and I have not seen a single thing about downgrading the boot loader or the OS successfully, except for the falsely titled (and should be deleted as it's #1 in google) link here.
Someone please tell me there's a way to do this? I despise this update.

Ok so i'm guess you just purchased your Note 3 and it came with Kit Kat on it already? You say broken update? Can you please specify what is "BROKEN" about it. If you do not have the Knox issue that others have, then simply root your phone and run a custom rom. I assure you, whatever you think is broken with the phone will be fixed this way. Also read thru the update FAQ's and go thru the development thread for any issues you may have. Use the search box in the top right corner of any thread to look for a particular problem.

My note 3 came with jellybean. I use a phone recording app to record all my calls. I also constantly move files between the sd card and the internal memory. Both of these things have broken since the update to kitkat. I would be happy to root my phone and go back to an earlier rom. Can you point me to a jellybean rom for t-mobile?

Ok, I would like for you to read before posting in the future please.
1. Call recording was never a feature standard on TMO as it's illegal. It's a third party app that you can easily replace, just need the kit kat version.
2. The Sdcard R/W issue is not something that is "BROKEN" it is a standard feature on TW and Kit Kat, it makes the phone only write to the internal storage and you can only Read from the ExtSdcard. This was done because people buy $5 sdcards on Amazon then blame Android and their phones when performance sucks. This also has been discussed in-depth across XDA and every Android website known. In the developer section you will find all your answers. You just need to search and read.

To expand on #2 it was also done to prevent 3rd party apps from writing to the entire SD Card in a major security issue.
Google made this change about 2 years ago and finally started to enforce it.
Also I don't know if you will have compatibility issues with going back to 4.3 while having a (unchangeable) 4.4.2 Boot loader. Its worth a shot though. But as the other poster mentioned if you root 4.4.2 you can get the SD Card RW back without having to go to 4.3

I agree with OP, this KitKat update has totally soured me on the Note 3. I used to adore my battery life; now I despise it. I also used a call recorder app that no longer works on KitKat. These are only a couple of the numerous issues I've had with the update. I'd gladly downgrade if I could.

Call recording is legal in many, many areas including where I live. Your statement is ignorant. I would like for you to read before posting in the future please.

Only in 12 States are not one party consent consider legal and admissable in court, But recording somebody phone calls without their knowledge is illegal and will get you sued. If you don't know what you are talking about. Please don't chime in.
Please don't try to challenge and confuse users. This is the exact reason the app is not standard on phones.
Accepted forms of notification for recording by a telephone company
The FCC defines accepted forms of notification for telephone recording by telephone companies as:
Prior verbal (oral) or written notification of all parties to the telephone conversation.
Verbal (oral) notification before the recording is made. This is the most commonly used type.
An audible beep tone repeated at regular intervals during the call.

I'm sorry, that would be very knowledgable old twit, that just retired after 20 years of communication background on secured system. Information Security is kinda my job. Nothing i said was incorrect, and my statement stands, if your on XDA and you refuse to READ before posting, expect what your mind considers condescending .

As far recording being illegal goes, I'd love to hear the Aristotelian logic behind that. What's practical about recording being illegal?
But the other issue, downgrading, I don't understand why you can't just go to sammobile.com, get the old firmware and flash that honey.

I believe of you try to flash a 4.3 Rom or image with the 4.4 boot loader it will just fail the check and won't flash at least it was like that on a different t phone I had.

hello all. I am also having problems with my TMO Note3. Since the 4.4.2 update the data has been flaky. I did couple of factory reset and did not help. before the update the device worked flawless. It would be great if we could go back to 4.3 til a patch is out to fix all the problems..

No problems with 4.4.2 at all. Stock rooted with a little bloat removed.

I only get a few hours screen time too but my battery will last 2 to 3 days. Wierd.
What aggravates me most is my battery monitor apps wont work cause im not rooted. They must not want us to know what the hell they're really running.

This is silly... Just because something can be used illegally does not make it illegal to use. If you notify as required by your State, it is not a problem and a very useful tool. BTW I am in one of those single party States, but Inform the other party on all calls if I will be using it.

Once you do the OTA, there is not going back without rooting apparently.

Well, that's up to the court. I, for one, will not record phone calls, even asking the other party. Actually, I am puzzled: in what situation will you need to record the call?
I mean, seriously, when on a call with your friend, company, boss or coworkers, do you TELL them you are recording the call? That just creates conflict.

I can say after 2 weeks this update is atrocious. Random reboots happen daily and several times at that. After deleting all Knox apks and odex files it still will appear Unfortunately Samsung Knox has stopped, if I'm on the market and every time I turn on the phone. Battery Life is better but not worth this mess. Network issues with tmobile but not on ATT. I have a s4 on tmobile it has no issues only my note 3. 4.3 is more stable and more reliable.

Viber unlocks screen when message is received

As the title states every time I get a message through Viber my screen turns on just as if I pressed the power button.
I've tried changing settings and obviously disabled the popup and "unlock for popups" but it still wont stay locked.
Is there something I've missed :s? Is it like that on other peoples Viber? It's damn annoying for me atleast..
Im using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, maguro. Its been like this on stock 4.0, stock 4.1, a bunch of 4.1 roms and AOKP 4.1.2. Aka its always been like this..
Thank you for your time and please direct me if this is the wrong forums.
ps; ask if you need screen shots or whatnot and I will upload them.
Edit: If I disable notifications for the app through jellybeans new option to disable notifications from the app info screen the screen STILL lights up and unlocks when I get a message..though no notification or anything.
soo no one know anything about it?

Do u try change on Viber's setting ?
ok so you will have to gon in viber setting and uncheck new message popup. when you do this , next option unlock for popups , will be automatically disabled
This is something I've explained to viber in detail already and all they told me was to fix the settings so the unlock for pop up is unchecked. I emailed them back stating that it is unchecked and that this issue occurred ever since they did their last update and that I specifically mentioned my settings are set that way in the original email. All I got was an apology and that they would look into it. It's been months since and still no update from them

I've written to them on twitter but they told me to write them an email but still haven't heard from them..
Also to note: If I disable notifications from the app through the new jellybean app info screen, the screen still unlocks and lits up but no sound or notification..my last desperate attempt would be to disable the permission to unlock screen somehow, is that possible?

As I stated in the original post, tried multiple times. Even went back to stock ICS just to see if it would help.
I believe it's the latest update they did last October which causes this issue. Gives me the same result in both my gnex and nexus one. Prior to the update it wasn't acting like it. I made a follow up email and the response I got was that it has been forwarded to the 'proper department'

I had the problem before that and during some version it stopped and came back in October sometime sounds about right. It's a shame really.. But it's a free app that originated from iOS so shouldn't expect too much I guess..
Is there any way to strip the app of the permission?
I think going back to the previous version would fix it. But the one prior to the current version had proximity sensor issues

It is unique to viber. I've never had anything else unlock the screen...Especially not when you have the screen locked with a code or password.
Thanks for the info.
As we said, when our next major update is released, please try it out and let us know if the problem is resolved. If not, we'll be right here to assist and check the matter thoroughly.
Tested the update and still screen unlocks despite being unchecked in the settings. Nice work on being able to use system notifications though

Thank you for the info.
There might have been some confusion there - "Closed" doesn't mean we stopped handling the problem, it merely means that it has been transferred departments within our own company.
However, I will make sure that this issue is brought up in our upcoming meetings and we will see what can be done to reproduce it here in our labs.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Wow. Gotta hand it to you. After posting in a public forum, I got an email update all of a sudden. Whereas before, it took weeks and even months for a response. I guess it's better to post issues here
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
what's the point with having the permission to unlock screen anyway? its totally unnecessary! Why would you EVER want your phone waking up?
If its in your hand, you just unlock it yourself.
If its in your pocked, you NEVER want it to unlock.
Simply just strip the app of the permission please..this is not iOS. We don't want our phones getting lit up..

FAQs - Massive Question Round Up Thread for Flo [UPDATE: 9/26/2014]

FAQs - Massive Question Round Up Thread for Flo
፨ INTRODUCTION ፨
Hello! So you got your awesome flashy new tablet but you have a million questions to ask. Maybe it's your first Android tablet. Maybe you're late to the party. Maybe you forgot everything you know.
It's okay. This thread will help you. This thread is not to discourage you from posting a new one but simply to save you time in case your question has been answered but buried over time.
This thread will also help the forum stay fresh and clutter free. However if your question was not answered here, feel free to start your own.
፨ IMPORTANT ፨
There are some things to keep in mind before reading this thread:​
It is impossible to gather all knowledge on this device, therefore this thread will always be incomplete. Please keep in mind that if something is not answered here it does not mean it wasn't elsewhere on the forum. Search before posting.
All of the questions/issues have been researched in depth and a source will be given if applicable. However, there is always a chance some of the information is wrong. Please only attempt a fix if you're comfortable doing so.
This thread will get quite long over time, I recommend you Ctrl+F (or equivalent) and search by keyword.
If you have any suggestions or want to submit a question/answer, PLEASE do so. It makes keeping this updated easier and lets the community participate. Credit will be given.
፨ FAQs ፨​
Q: How do I unlock my bootloader/root/install a custom recovery?
A: philos64 walks you through the entire procedure. From stock, to unlocked bootloader, root and TWRP. Find his guide here.
Q: Is there a way to unlock my bootloader without losing my data? Thanks to marcusjt.
A: No. When you initiate the bootloader unlock process the data will be lost. It is recommended to unlock the bootloader before you start filling it with data. However if you have already done so you can still back up your apps with an external application, such as TitaniumBackup. Please be aware, however that if you install a custom ROM, it is recommended to not restore previous data and start fresh instead.
Q: I have to relock the bootloader, how do I go about doing that?
A: Just as easy as unlocking. Boot to the bootloader and on fastboot type: fastboot oem lock
Q: What is the difference between root and an unlocked bootloader?
A: An unlocked bootloader allows you to write protected partitions such as system or recovery. This lets you flash custom ROMs (un-official non-stock operating systems that have more functionality such as CyanogenMod, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, etc.). Root does not mess with partitions, instead it grants you complete control over the OS (Android) itself. It will let you write and edit any file you wish. This lets you run apps like Titanium Backup and Adblock that need to either access or edit system files.
Q: This is my first Nexus device. I was told with my previous device to wait until an unlock or root method is found before upgrading to a new release. Is that the case here?
A: No. With Nexus devices there is no fear of having the bootloader locked down further. It will always be unlocked in the same fashion and root is a flash away.
Q: Will I lose OTA notifications if I root/unlock bootloader/install custom ROM? Thanks to marcusjt.
A: If all you do is root or unlock the bootloader then you will continue to receive OTA notifications from Google. Please be aware that root will be lost if you don't preserve it through your SU app. Most custom ROMs remove the ability to receive official OTA notifications from Google.
Q: What is the name of this Nexus 7? I keep hearing all these different names! Thanks to zaclimon.
A: Our device is named after a previous one with the same name, thus confusion will arise. The official name for it is Nexus 7 (2013), this is what Google calls it. Amazon brought a new name: Nexus 7 FHD presumably after "full high definition". Furthermore, there are two other names that refer to our device, Flo (this thread's title) refers to the board of the device (hardware). While Razor is the device's codename.
Q: Does the Nexus 7 support USB OTG?
A: According to forum members in this thread most OTG uses should work. However be aware that for certain devices external power might be needed.
Q: Is the notification light RGB? Why can I only have it flash white?
A: The software is reporting that the LED on the Nexus 7 is only white (my explanation here). Also, looking at the actual LED we can see that it can only support one color, white.
Q: Where is the NFC sensor? What about the wireless charger?
A: Both the NFC and the Qi coil are located in the middle of the device. X marks the spot, line up the X on the Nexus logo on the back to activate NFC or begin wireless charging.
Q: How do I take a screenshot?
A: Press power and volume down at the same time for a couple of seconds.
Q: Does the tablet have a magnetic screen on/off feature like its predecessor?
A: kpa2727 has confirmed that the tablet does indeed have a magnetic sensor for the display. The smart cover sensor is located on the bottom left of this device.
Q: Does it contain haptic feedback? (Vibration)
A: No, just like the previous N7 this one does not have any rumble feedback.
Q: Do I need an official wireless charger to charge my tablet without wires?
A: The Nexus 7 is Qi compatible which means that any Qi certified charger will work. Official or otherwise.
Q: Can I pair my Wiimote controller to my Nexus 7?
A: Since Google updated the bluetooth stack to Qualcomms in Android 4.2, Wiimotes and the like have not been able to pair. This is no different on the Nexus 7 running Android 4.3+ (or any other 4.x build). UPDATE: A new app hit the market that allows this for 4.x, however an external USB OTG adapter is needed (must be a EDR dongle with a CSR chipset).
Q: How come Google Wallet won't install? Play store says my device is not compatible.
A: The new Nexus 7 is missing the secure element required in order for Wallet to work at all. A Google rep has confirmed that the Nexus 7 lacks the hardware, this cannot be fixed through software. UPDATE: As of Android version 4.4, Wallet will begin to work with the Nexus 7 thanks to the new HCE feature.
Q: Why does GPS lock up on me?
A: This issue occurs on early builds of the software. Starting with build JSS15Q this has been fixed so all that needs to be done is update to the latest OTA or ROM based on this build. However if you would not like to update, sfhub has a solution in his thread that allows the GPS issue to be fixed without updating your OS.
Q: The touch screen is sometimes inaccurate and I get phantom touches, especially with multi-touches, why?
A: Different digitizer hardware were used on our N7 so depending on what touchscreen hardware you have this might be an issue. Not everyone will experience this and the latest JSS15Q update has fixed the problem for some users. If the update does not fix your issue, sfhub has a post located here that aims to fix the problem for most people.
Q: Wireless charging is not working, why?
A: Some early built tablets have an issue with the wireless connector. If you do not want to void your warranty simply get it exchanged. Otherwise if you're bold enough to open your tablet, tkdsl explains how to fix the issue (the four connectors are each pair to the right of the circle in this picture).
Q: The speakers are making a static/buzzing/white noise sound when my volume is low, is my unit defective?
A: No, it's not defective, this is the way the hardware was built. If you want to know what causes the issue, siraltus has a very good explanation here.
Q: I'm stuck in a bootloop/my tablet wont get past the startup animation. What can I do?
A: If you think you have soft bricked your device, ATGAdmin has a one click restore tool located here. It will restore your tablet to it's condition out of the box.
Q: What ROM, kernel or mod should I use? There are too many options!
A: Options are always good! While no one can tell you what works best for you, philos64 has created a repository of ROMs, kernels and more to make it easier to find than wading through the forum. His thread is located here. Thanks to pelago for informing me about the updated thread.
Q: Can my Nexus 7 (2013) Data Version place phone calls/send texts through mobile data?
A: It will likely not be available out of the box. Or at all. If devs take interest it MIGHT be possible. The previous Nexus 7 can only send SMS but no GSM calls however, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 can do both. Bottom line is: don't expect this, it will likely never happen, consider this before purchasing the tablet.
Q: Does the Nexus 7 (2013) have an IR (Infrared) blaster for TV control?
A: No, it does not.
Q: My question isn't answered here, what can I do?
A: Well that depends on what your situation is. Here are a couple of helpful tips, though:
If your question is a general one about the tablet (how do I X?) then first SEARCH the forums. Try different key words. If that doesn't answer your question, feel free to make a new thread.
If you don't want to start a thread and have stage fright, feel free to post your question here. Also, if you know the answer to a posted question, please answer it -- this thread is for the community to work together.
Forgot a reserve post, whoops
Can I buy the equipment in another country?
I have a doubt that is related to the fact that the tablet is not yet marketed in Portugal.
I know I can buy, but what I want to know is if I'm not having problems accessing Google Play and other services that may not yet be working in Portugal.

While it's possible to use a VPN to trick Google services to think you're in the us it's not recommended because you would always have to use it. Also payment becomes an issue.
If a service is not available in your country you would have to wait until Google expands I'm afraid
I know there is a tool out there for fixing a soft brick but my question is how could I have soft bricked when all I did yesterday was install apps and update to 4.3.....Then I charged the device and shut it off. Tried turning it on this morning and it won't go bast the Nexus logo. Please help!

The were some people that did brick on the update, but it's weird in your case because it sounds like you got a boot after the update. I just recommend you use the tool or factory reset it yourself. Otherwise check out the emergency thread by philos64 here.

Ended up calling Google support. The strange thing was, they couldn't even boot me into recovery. We kept getting a screen that said "no action". Ended up having to use a different button sequence but eventually we got into recovery and factory reset. Back in working order.

Im a noob. When custom roms comes out in the future, will it be a big factor if the model is wifi or 3g, or developers will just easily add a radio/baseband/modem into their custom roms and it will have support for 3g devices already?
Speaking of softbricks, I updated and unlocked/TWRP/rooted two days ago and rebooted two or three times with everything being just fine until this morning, where it wouldn't get past the X logo.
The last thing I had done before powering down last night was watch that "Luna" short in Play Movies. Weird
my N7 will not boot without having to format data. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it with supersu and flashed twrp on it. It worked fine for a few hours, I hadn't installed any mods. Then all of a sudden I get stuck on the splash screen indefinitely several times. The only thing that brings it back is to go into recovery and format data.

This has to do with the way your device is identified. While I don't know a solution (short of doing what the image suggests) someone made a thread here. Perhaps he found another solution.

A couple of users have reported this happening to them when updating the tablet from the stock image it comes with. Looking around I found this thread and while the OP in that thread ended up trading the device for another one, before doing that try a couple of things. Restart the device (obvious, I know, but still, hold down power for 30 secs, let it reboot). If that does not work, attempt a hard reset (it will wipe your data). This should definitely fix the issue and remember that the first boot will take longer so don't freak out after the reset.

I requested to delete my thread because it was useless to have a duplicate with your. I think we don't need to have several posts for trying to resolve problems (all problems are an emergency, but sometimes not real )
And it's more easier for members to search ONE thread for post a problem and having a solution.
But before to post something, members need to read and search in this thread before. A solution for a problem was maybe posted before
Thanks

Normally not
When the 4g version comes out, will I just be able to take the SIM out of my S4 and put it in the N7 to use data at home then put it back in my S4 when I leave without a problem?

The reason the thread is closed is not because the developer is angry at all or anything like that. He no longer has the time to support the ROMs at the moment, I was suspicious to to the ROM's disappearance but was alerted he posted the reason he closed development on his G+. This ROM was taken offline when the new one came up, that's all. Thanks OP.

Wowowow i did ask, i contacted Ramsay and did not get a response and did not even know what happened until i check my google and facebook, however, and i will say i did NOT get explicit permission, Ramsey has NEVER cared and i do NOT expect him to get back to me any time soon because of whats going on. I am 99.99% sure he will not care that im, if anything, supporting his awesome rom.
PS- now i want to try that kit kat theme xD
They were just looking out for the dev is all. All too often people will post someone else's work without asking first, sometimes they give proper cred, sometimes they don't. But the decent thing regardless of your intentions is to ask first, which you said you did. And thank you for clarifying that btw.
Tbh, after reading the OP, I thought the exact same thing. Always do when it's not mentioned. You obviously appreciate the devs work on this Rom, and saranhai was simply looking out for them and their interests. I don't believe it was meant as accusatory at all.
Anyway, just thought I'd offer up a bit of explanation. Thanks for posting this, I know a lot of people are going to be very pleased to see it here!

1. All his work EVERYTHING is up for download, so couldnt i just modify a few settings, add some wall papers, maybe some of your Modem tweaks as default and this would qualify at least as S3 Development.

Trust me, your putting this up is very much appreciated! And don't let any of us add to your stress level, try to remember that in these posts, tone is near impossible to convey perfectly. If someone is going to verbally attack though, you'll know it. There are lots of times our posts are short and pointed, but it's simply because we already do a lot here and just want to make the point and move on. I promise you that nothing said here so far was meant personally or negatively at all. To me, xda can be a great place to escape real life for a while and still be constructive with your time. I hope this proves true for you as well!
As to your questions:
1. It's kind of hard to say tbh. Technically it's probably not considered development if you just make some minor changes/improvements, tweaks, and do a bit of theming to an existing, previously developed Rom. I think it would probably have to be determined by the amount of modification you do. Maybe someone else can chime in on this one, or you could always ask a mod what they think.
I've seen some releases in the development section that definitely would not meet the criteria, so once you implement some changes and make it yours, so to speak, I wouldn't see it as any kind of problem to move it there. Until then it will probably be viewed as more of a support thread though.
2. The part that was in question wasn't with how you thanked and gave credit to the dev. You did perfectly fine on that. The thing we didn't see addressed was whether or not you sought permission from them before posting. Knowing now that you did, it's not an issue at all. But there have been plenty of times where someone would post someone else's work, and give proper credit to the dev, but never asked if they were ok with them posting it. Even though their intentions in some instances were pure, it often would end up with the dev getting pissed and the thread being closed or removed.
Speaking for myself, whenever I see something familiar posted by someone other than the original developers, I automatically wonder if they got permission to do so. And if it's not stated, I or someone else will ask. It's not to be mean or to cause problems, but more to prevent them, and as stated, to look out for the devs interests. None of us wants to see them leave due to lack of respect or common courtesy.
Getting too long so I'll leave it at that! Thanks again!
This all being said, I've been working on speeding up and prolonging battery life. It's already smooth, so I'm just going to squeeze as much battery life out of it as possible. I will either release files you can push, or a .zip depending on everyone's preferences. That being said, battery life was nice, 4hrs, 30 minutes off my first charge cycle of on screen time. I'll upload the pic soon.
1. First line of work is the build.prop
2. Second line of work is within the init.d
3. Third line of work is going to be replacing the kernel with either KT747/Lean
4. Fourth line of work is going to be recommending/including a good inverted GAPPS package

Yeah, a zip would be great. I have pretty decent battery life already, but any way to squeeze out more would be great. I also use the kt747 kernel, but when I attempted to use the TK mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207286 in conjunction with it, it completely messes up when I try to apply their build.prop mod.

Yeah, TKMod works great! We discovered a couple months ago with the latest release that their modified build.prop was not working for us for some reason. Go ahead and install TKMod but keep your current build.prop. And I use the sysctrl & modified Crossbreader too.
EDIT: from RErick in the above mentioned link-
"Uninstall the build.prop. its not that important. If it doesn't work it doesn't need to be there. Obviously we would Luke for everyone to have it, but its not our pride and joy. If the sysctrl and cross breeder works that's 95 percent of the good stuff"
Works for me!

[Q] To Root or Not to Root: that is the question ;)

First off I am a very experienced modder but what I really want to know is ?
Being in Canada with a Tmobile model will I even get OTA from a different carrier?
When I use Kies to return to factory can I claim for all intents and purposes that it's a 1:1? Or can files, spyware and odd files find there way into areas like preload, efs or other ?
I don't like the look of stock 4.2.2 and miss my cyanogen mod tools...
But Does bluetooth and speaker phone get messed on the s4 with cyanogen mod and all the dev's roms? like it does with SO many other phones ?
And since I pointed that out is there some other weird anomaly that us rooters need be aware of ?
Please respond quick im getting board with stock and your answers could be my freedom :fingers-crossed:
I wont forget to thank those who can help my tough questions..
Yes you can go back to stock.

Those questions you are referring to which are unanswered are simply yet to be found.
So perhaps it might be a good idea to post a lot of answers instead of so many questions! LOL
Why the heck do they have a Q and A section if people just sit around and tell other people that unanswered questions are a problem :
Wish people would just add info where requested instead of clogging the thread.... GEEZ people simple questions here :
1) IS THERE A BLUETOOTH/SPEAKER PHONE ECHO in MODDED ROMS WITH THE S4 ?
2) will other carriers transmit the OTA upgrades ? Have they in the past ?
3) After root is there a way to insure 1:1 return of all data to EFS, PREBOOT or other areas that would suggest for some unrooted is better...

Gotta love the answers so far first response don't ask questions search endlessly, and the second is simply don't submit unanswered questions to Q and A !!!!

The s4 phones have good compatibility so far. Except once you start getting into 4.3 roms, for now, wifi glitches occur.
As far as who gets which updates, i dont think anyone knows yet since it's only been 6 months there is no reliable history to tell. I'm sure you'll get some update but it's not going to be timely and it's not going be frequent.. at best ~4 times for the life of the phone. I say fly solo.
About returning the phone, the only thing u have to worry about is the "knox counter" which isn't included in most roms.

Wifi just doesnt work. Some people did somethings to have some functionality... but it's not something you want to mess with
You should stick with 4.2 for a couple more weeks until tmobile releases 4.3, then it will be really solid.
As far as OTA, i dont really know because i dont use them. And your case is so rare that i think you shouldnt count on it. Why do you want ota anyways you can flash a new stock ota freely. Those are prominently available on here.

Is this wifi bug on all 4.3 4.4 roms or are there some working ?
That is a MAJOR glitch BTW I don't think I will Root : which brings me to the second answer I want to stay stock because with no 4.3 (with wifi) what incentive is there to even root ?
Can I use Kies to update without the need of a OTA update once available ?

You have to check for the OTA manually through your settings. If you are on a custom rom or kernel, it won't allow you to update. In that case, you simply Odin back to stock and then go into settings and update. This time the OTA will work.
EDIT: Rooting won't cause problems with your WiFi... It's an inherit ROM bug. Stick with 4.2.2 and just root.

Well right now wifi breaks for everyone but 4.3 is coming to us (the usa tmobile customers) in a week, so you will be able to flash it and have working wifi.
Why wouldnt you root? There is no downside even if u dont want to flash roms. You can have root on ur stock rom and do hundreds of new things. Greenify, xposed, wallet, backups, call recording...

Also, Id like to make each name a hotlink to the source, so just try to get the name of the module exact for us!
Remember, this list is referring to with use of the T-Mobile LG G3 (D851). Also, just because it's in this list, definitely DOES NOT mean it can't harm your phone - there's always at least a little risk! However, just because your G3 may not be the D851, that doesn't mean these won't work either. MOST IMPORTANYLY, make sure you have a working recovery. If you don't know what a Nandroid Backup is, Google it! Don't install the Xposed Framework before you do! Here's the list so far...no particular order yet.
I DO plan to arrange these in alphabetical order. I also plan to maybe add a brief description to each one. Please share your ideas too:good:
•AppOps
•App Settings
•Custom Error Texts & Sounds
•G3 TweaksBox
•HandleExternalStorage
•Instagram Downloader
•Jelly Bean 4.x Airplane Mode Helper
•Keep Chat
•PlayPermissionsExposed
•YouTube AdAway
•xSTANA
What can you add to this list? Remember, it MUST be something you've used without having problems! Something that's worked properly...you get the idea. Let's do it!!
Thanks everyone!
All the ones I use, Confirmed working.

SnapChat Full Caption
SnapColors
Snapshare
Status Bar Scroll To Top
Xposed LED Control
I just put the ones I use that aren't alread in your list, and I didn't link to them because they're easily accessible in the xposed installer

OK, yeah, great idea! Would you like to try all the ones that "don't work" so you can confirm them for us? I'll gladly make the list if you test them

If you look in Q&A many guys have posted issues and found once they removed xposed it went away. If you gonna make a list might as well do it complete. Also what works for Bob might not for Jim.. Warn the boobs before you get them saying but the op said it works.

That's why they are warned of the risk man. You know how many modules are out there? That's just such a huge project...the way you're suggesting, to post the ones that may cause issues. Again, if you'd like to send me a list of ones that are causing issues, I'd gladly post them. I don't feel that making a list of xposed modules being found to work great by several users is necessarily incomplete by not mentioning every module...and whether or not they may be unsafe. I'd hafta install over 100 modules and risk damaging my phone if I were to attempt to determine which ones should be in the list of conflicting ones....just saying.
So, do you have any modules to mention that you've had luck with so far?

For the record I appreciate your input to the thread here. I just think that it's much easier to keep the list of ones that are working without issues. Maybe what I should do is make a mention next to each module in the list of which G3 model has been successful with them. For example, next to the ones I started with, I will add that I had tested them with the LG-D851. Will that kinda help address the issues you had brought up about certain guys having luck while other didn't?

Do it the way you was gonna. Way to many threads to dig thru to find the ones that caused issues. Plus like with me nothing was said to be perfect. Things are gonna happen no matter what. Also from what I seen a lot of people don't read or search so it a lesson learned . if you find a call recorder that is clear I will def try it out. The one in tweak box did not work right at all

Have you tried this one? They actually have the LG G3 in their list of supported devices on their main site. Give us some feedback if ya don't mind! Also, you may need to test a couple different recording modes. Not sure what the defaults are.

Hope it works!!

Sweet! Just changed saved file to 'My Documents' (internal storage) and the recording is crystal clear now. Cheers!
Is there a module to link the status bar color. I use g3 tweaksbox but it doesn't work for all apps. I tried tinted status bar but it doesn't work well.
Got anything better?

A few people said the same thing to. Then I had them dial 611 and it all sounded horrible again. Can you post your exact save path.
AWESOME G3
