[Q] build.prop change N2 to N3 without black screen possible? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Long story short I have a Note 2. ROM to JB 4.3. Changed the model in build.prop to SN-N900 and then got the black screen of death on reboot. Did an adb shell and pushed the old build.prop and got it working again. Does anyone know what I may have missed doing so that the phone will work after that change? Trying to get the Gear Manager app by doing the model change in build.prop
Many thanks in advance.

Does the Gear app actually work on even a rooted stock ROM...NVM AOSP?
I don't know offhand...but I'd be terribly surprised if it worked any differently than AllShare, in that even rooting your device breaks it.

I do have the app installed, however unlike your image the x/18 installation does not occur. It shows it and then goes away showing just the nfc connection screen. Any thoughts on making this function? I have paranoid android 3.9 rom, jellybean 4.3.
The watch is found by Bluetooth and they connect but then disconnect because I get a, "device unsupported" error.
Cheers!

You're probably SOL outside of a stock unrooted ROM that officially supports the device. Sounds like Samsung indeed coded it like AllShare etc.

You are probably right, but I keep hoping. I was able tonchange the build.prop file to the Note 3 model SM-N9005. I thought that would help, but no.

[Q] S-view calls on 4.4.2 GE roms

Hello everyone,
Just doing a sanity check to see if anyone else that uses the S-view case with there t-mobile galaxy s4. I have one however on the latest 4.4.2 Google edition roms (any of them) alarm silencing and snoozing works fine but inbound calls with the case closed don't show the options to accept or reject.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this issue.
Also tested with two different S4's
It is not an issue, it has never been on any Google edition ROMs

Thanks for the clarification.
Do you know if the s-view slide to answer function is strictly a GE ROM function? As in, if it's not a function in the GE stock ROM then there's no way to add that functionality? I guess I can't see why they would have left it out for the answer function but left the swipe option on for the alarm..??? Seems strange to me...

Ahhh 4.4.2 . No, because GooglePhone.apk is not open source. Big difference between 4.4.2 and ANY GE ROM.
You never loose don't you?

Yeah the op stated on 4.4.2 ge roms (any of them) so that's why I put that. I agree though I should have put any 4.4.2 ge roms.
Any Workarounds?
Curious if anyone has come to a temporary solution with this issue. It's been getting to me. Can flashing an older phone app solve it maybe? It did work on 4.3 that I remember... maybe even 4.4, but my memory is hazy on that. 4.4 went by so quickly.

[Q] google play saying my device is not compatible (rooted Jedi X7 )

I tried downloading words with friends and it says my device is not compatible, but my friend has the same phone and he has it. I am rooted with Jedi X7 and he is not. I'm also on tmo while he is on ATT.
i suppose i can upgrade my phone, but I really have no need to. Just curious if this is a known issue and if there is a fix or if Im going to be forced to upgrade my ROM

prob a leftover setting issue from the dpi. if you don't want to wipe or reflash try downloading the app from the amazon app store- it generally doesn't have any compatibility restrictions like the google app store.
I second the dpi suggestions.

Battlefield 4 Commander App broken?

I can't get it to load into any servers on my new 8.4. The app will load and I can select a server but then it just hangs at a black screen forever. I've tried letting it pick servers and I've selected a server through Battlelog and get the same result either way. I've tried on different wifi networks too so it isn't a network issue. Anyone else run into this or am I the only loser wasting time playing Commander at work lol

It doesn't work for me either, it's a tablet specific issue for us, as it works just fine on my Nexus 5.
I sit at the black screen too, I think it may be a resolution issue but I'm not 100%, the thread with the apk on here explains a bit more on how to fix the black screen issue but it's for phones running, but I assume it would work for our tablet as well but I'm not running a rom so no Xposed framework to edit the obb.

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!
My keyboard auto pops up.

Same here, but I can't get mine to connect without launching the phone app each time
I have to launch the app each time too.
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

Grabbed the zip and flashed it. But now my Samsung Keyboard isn't working at all - I'm getting a force close whenever it's set as the default.

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.
I saw in the ads that we can answer/make calls from sidesync... but when i tried it won't allowed me.. is it just me?

I was told by a samsung sales guy in Best Buy, that for now, only the S5 phone can be used for calls in the ablet in sidesync.

Battery status of Bluetooth device

Hi guys,
I would like to know if there's a possibility to display the battery status of a connected Bluetooth device on the Oneplus 3? Natively or via a third party app? Ideally for me, it should work on the stock ROM but if necessary I would flash a custom one if it would only be possible that way.
Thanks in advance :good:

Have not used it personally though.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to work with my specific pair of headphones :/ If that means that they don't send battery information to the phone I probably can't get it to work with any solution.

Sorry to hear that.
FWIW after suggesting the app to you, I did try it out. It seemed to work with my pair of blue tooth headphones during the limited time I used it..
Going by the comments about the app in the play store, it looks like the usage is limited based on the manufacturer of the blue tooth device....
Just to close this topic: This feature was released in Open Beta 19 and for me it works great!
how to enable that??? by default its not showing when connected......... im on latest beta

How do you activate it? I have a watch connected and it's not showing anything
I didn't have to activate it. For me it just worked. Your Bluetooth device still has to support sending its battery information to the phone. In this months Open Beta update there were some fixes for this feature. Maybe it works for you now?
Edit: grammar
