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.

Will someone who has the ATT Note 4 run a carrier iq detector and post the results? Thank you so much!

Sorry to tell both of you AT&T = no root access. I did want to att but going to get the Tmo. Why because of this guy here>>>

Good Tutorial links and videos on using the Note 4
I upgraded from a note 1 to a note 4 today... And there is SO MUCH I don't know about this phone...
Was wondering if someone could post some video links or other tutorials on how to use the phone...
Thanks

Where is root and driving mode? Does this phone support a usb dac?

Carrier name in top left
Does anyone know how to remove the 'AT&T' that always displays in the top left corner of the screen on the top bar? It's annoying. I tried looking through settings but not sure if I found anything that could turn it off.

Need Root access to remove the carrier ID

bootloader:
New to the forums here. Will AT&T unlock the bootloader of an individuals device if they pay it off?

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 do I set the internet browser to open links in new tabs and I stay on the current page? I know this was a setting on my S3, but cannot find it on my Note 4.

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.
Thanks (you said nothing too stupid after all)

S Pen
Does the S pen on the Note 4 work with the back button? I know it didn't on the Note 2 and that always bothered me.

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.

Missing Symbols--2 Note 2's side by side

Can someone tell me where the stock samsung keyboard symbols are on the note on the left??? Both are LJC rooted with twrp. I can't find anything in the settings that will give me the symbols above the numbers. Any help will be appreciated.
70 people and nobody knows?...ouch....ok..anyone with any input will be thanked by me(i'll actually thank your post)......thanks
I'm kind of confused. The only time I saw people post the non symbol keyboard was in the international forum.

I tried that, since I don't use that keyboard. Mine continued to have the symbols above the letter keys, as before. I think it may have to do with the fact that the microphone and settings symbols on the key at the bottom left are opposite between the two layouts. I tried to find anything that would let me change that in anything related to voice settings, but had no luck.
the 1 on the left(no symbols) was bought at a sprint store...the 1 with the symbols was bought on ebay from a reliable seller. both are activated on my sprint account. the 1 on the left was rooted with the "tool kit"..the 1 with no symbols was...sorry i don't remember how i rooted it but it wasn't with the tool kit...,,,either way thanks for the input fellas...im stumped...i was using swype on my gs3's and i was happy to see the top row of numbers on the sammy KB...but i'd like the symbols...

Mine had the symbols on stock, once I installed jellybomb they went away. I tried extracting the keyboard from the stock ROM (I made a nandroid before flashing) but the symbols did not come back.

that symbol just shows what was used last. if you use it to go into settings it will show the gear until it is used again. Use it for voice input and it will switch to the mic. The theory is that the one tap option switches to what was used last since that is probably what you use most.
As to the op topic, I am on Jelly bomb with 'add back allshare' flashed and I don't have the symbols.
it would be interesting to have more people state their rom and if they have symbols or not.
edit: I just flashed the LJC DEODEX and have symbols on the keyboard now.

no, the symbols are even in different places on these kb.
jellybomb was the only rom i tried that had this effect. clean rom and blazer had the full stock symbols back when i tried them.
even pulling the stock kb from a nandroid doesn't fix it. some other file/program seems to control what keyboard keys are attached to what symbols. it would be nice to find out which and be able to customize and remove symbols i never use.
thank all for your input...as far as the "mic"/"settings" symbol...that DOES change to the last selected option...if it shows the mic icon and i long press it to go into the selectable options and choose "settings"..it will them show the settings icon..
as far as my OP at least now i know...you should have seen me in the damn options trying to figure out what i was "missing"...and then it took me 25 minutes to press "submit new thread" on this because i just knew some 12 yr old was going to point me to an option i was completely over looking!!!

I am not sure what you are saying no to, which symbols are in different places? So far it seems the symbols are either there or not there, not that they have moved around location to different places

The OP said that he is having this problem with a rooted stock rom.
If it is like you said and some program is controlling this than it seems like a problem that could show up after time has passed, further adding confusion. My stock rom shows symbols now but what about in a few days. That would make it seem like it is a bug that samsung needs to address.
again...the 1 WITH the symbols... i took the OTA and then rooted with the "note2 tool kit"
the 1 WITHOUT the symbols..i rooted it and added TWRP and i flashed a rooted version of the OTA..i used "ROOT66_LJ1_TO_LJ6_OTA_UPDATE.ZIP...found in the link i posted previously...
otherwise the phones are stock/rooted with TWRP...I may flash back to stock on the 1 without symbols and re-root with the "note2 tool kit"..to see what happens.(when i have a chance)..
Could just be a de bloated feature, I don't mind having the main punctuation symbols associated with the period key. Just hold it for a half second and it pops up. After looking at other keyboards online is hard to want to take any cause now after having this designated number row I'm spoiled
I won't go with out. I just hope Swift key Flow has an option for designated number row whensit's released.

i too am spoiled by the designated number keys...and its true the symbols under the period key are just fine...i started this topic thinking i was missing something about how to get the symbols above the numbers like my note2 on the right in the OP...i never had any idea that there would be 2 different versions of the same keyboard...but like i said in an earlier post..."at least i know now" (haha)..it was driving me crazy looking for keyboard settings that DIDN'T EXIST!!!!...
on a side note..i like to see this keyboard(swift key flow) delete the entire word when "backspace" or the back arrow key is pressed...thats very convenient in swype..
The symbols are missing due to an edited feature.xml, which you can find in the system/csc folder.
Pull the feature.xml from the one with the symbols and push it the the other phone set the permissions and reboot.

I bought my Galaxy Tab3 * inch 315 from Negri Electronics a week ago.... Phone AND LTE data with certian providers
http://negrielectronics.com/samsung-t315-galaxy-tab-3-8-0-16gb-lte-unlocked-white.html#.Uq-Zl-LnAfk
Ebay also has the 311 - phone and H+ data..
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?clk_rvr_id=561571360483&_nkw=galaxy+tab+311&_sop=3
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...

You can hack it but out of the box there is not more than one user on 4.2.2... not sure what the other guy is talking about. U can add it but it's annoying and I'm hoping they pull their head out in 4.4.2... if not I'll be very annoyed.
Just got my Sprint Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 2 days ago. Not rooted, out of the box. Android 4.2.2, AMH9 build. Went to Setting, there is an option for Users (under Application manager). When you select it you can add users with the Add user button on the top right corner. When you turn the device off and back on there will be user boxes on bottom middle of the lockscreen. Unless mine came hacked out of the box, I would say it is possible.

Ahhh I didn't read the model. Sorry about the bad info it happens. I have the 10.1 didn't realize samsung would be so stupid to add it to one version of the device and not another. That is just amazingly lame. I assumed they would have a standard across the line. I'm really regretting buying the 10.1... Yea I want a bigger better tablet with less features. Idiot samsung.

SideSync 3.0 and Note 3

I've been using the 8.4 for a few days now and while I really enjoy the SideSync feature to sync up my Note 3 phone when it's not on hand, I haven't been able to open a keyboard to actually type anything, respond to a text message etc.
I was wondering if there is anyway to activate a keyboard.
Thanks!

Does your battery on your note 3 not like just drop like a rock? Seems for me when it is connected by wifi direct it just drops like a rock.
I found the solution. I installed a S5 keyboard on my note 3 and it worked after that. I'm running Effortless rom on my t-mobile note 3, that's where I got the keyboard linked below.

Thanks! Working great now. Last question - is it possible for me to install a zip file without having a rooted phone? My note 3 isn't rooted.
To install that particular zip, you need root. It needs to write that keyboard to the system folder which is only writable if you have root

So has anyone solved this problem of having to launch the app on the phone each time? It'd be much more useful if we can keep the app running on the phone so we don't actually have to physically get the phone in order to use it.

Missing Dictionaries

Where are they? I've seen them in review videos. The option to highlight the word then select dictionary, English to spanish, etc would be handy. Is it only missing on Verizon or does anyone know?
I just tried this for the first time and it gave me the option to download the English version and it worked. I do not see any other options though.
English is the only option.

I dunno. Hopefully someone will figure it out..I really hate the way carriers strip things to make room for their garbage.
The Tmobile version also only has English. Could have something to do with rights inside the USA. Anyway hope we can download them somewhere
Anyone figure out how to download other language dictionaries? I have the same problem with Tmobile Note 4....does it have anything to do with being rooted?

Is the TMob version a different Sku? IIRC with the N2 somehow they are able to flash global roms.
