So I just switched to t mobile and got a new note 3, coming from a Verizon note 2. I went to check unknown sources box and it's Grey and can't be checked. Does anyone know why? I even looked on my wife's new gs4 and unknown sources can be checked. I'm planning on rooting, I've just been doing my research on the whole knox bs. I've had a lot of android devices starting with the original DROID and they've all been rooted custom roms and tweaks. I'm no expert, but I know my way around android devices. Thanks for the help.

Update, I rooted and still grey. Any ideas, anyone have this problem?

If I were you, i would install a custom ROM and go from there.
If you want to stay stock, try flashing the stock deodexed ROM. Should work after that.

I might do that. Do all the note 3's come with that box uncheckable, or did i get a weird one?
Thanks.

You have a word one. Before you root and before your 14 days are up go return as defected. Get new one in store and test before u leave

No, they are going to send you just the phone without the back cover, and without the S pen. At least that is what I got back with my replacement.

Planning on holding off a week or 2 just to get the full experience.
It makes installing a good rom, that much better!

I will be holding off as well. I'm kinda satisfied at the moment with what Samsung has provided. I don't like the bloat and I miss my root apps. But I think I'll be just fine for a month or so.

Been waiting on my sd card from amazon that arrived today. I'm trying to hold off rooting until TWRP is ready.
I'm amazed I've lasted this long without rooting, but like others above I'm holding out until I can 'fully experience' the stock software Samsung tossed out there. I didn't want to drop 600+ on a new phone and not at least give the new stuff a try!

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I was under the impression that the only way you could get a bad imei is if the phone was lost or stollen.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
Well back when the s3 originally came out we had a bunch of people randomly lose their imei. I would show up as just 0. And there was no efs folder to back up because it no longer contained imei.

I know we still don't receive 4.22 ota update until now and we also don't know the exact date that Samsung will achieve their promise. After I know about the new feature (Bluetooth enhancement), I really hope we would receive the updates.

I think it was a wise decision of Samsung to update note 2 directly to 4.3
Or else sooner or later there would be forums for when will 4.3 will arrive on note 2

Honestly another brand should get some good features and we move on from Samsung. Their service is ****ing awful.

I think we will bought the note 3 to go on android 4.3... samsung state of mind...
No, they won't. Yes they will. No they won't. Yes they won't. No they will.
Get a Daisy and start pulling is petals out. Yes..... No.... Yes.... No..... lol
On another point, recently in a samsung road show I asked a salesman.. is there going to be a 4.2.2 or direct to 4.3? He said note2 only has 4.1.1......
He even showed me their demo sets which is still on 4.1.1... I showed him my rooted stock which shows 4.1.2... His reply shocked me. He told me not to use custom rom because it will void warranty. My goodness. I'm on stock rom for crying out loud. When will samsung give proper training to their sales force?

I'm doubt i will see 4.3 on note 2..cause i will sell it once note 3 come out!!

Since the last update my battery drain had been significantly higher, the Android os is using just under 40% this is even when the phone has been in my bag with the screen switched off most of the day, it's like it's not going into sleep mode properly. I read on another forum that this is a common issue and to remove battery and delete cache but so far this hasn't made a difference.
What update?

I had to update the firmware a couple of weeks ago, I'm in the UK not sure if that makes a difference.

It mentions herehttp://m.ibtimes.co.uk/android44-kitkat-galaxys4-note3-january2014-galaxys3-note2-524565 that Samsung has suspended updates for other handsets as 4.3 is causing a lot of issues, note 3 isn't mentioned but I see no reason why it would be any different.
It does say the note 3 comes with 4.3 preloaded but mine didn't.

Recently flashed W03 SlimKat and it's awesome. Fantastic KK Rom.
International version is getting it now..all the carrier versions are always going to be late/delayed.....I'm just waiting for a rooted version of the OTA to come out.
Its not up to samsung. Updates are from Google and the carrier.

Correction: Samsung still needs to add Touchwiz and the "S" features to whatever Google produces way before the carriers even get to cripple features by adding bloatware.
Yes, as you said, samsung adds whatever they want, then at&t decides if a phone model gets an update, so, as others have said, its up to the carrier. Google decides if the processor of the phone continues to get support.

I realize there are Kit Kat roms already but those are ASOP not Touchwiz roms. But thank you for your input.

I've interpreted this to mean that you are saying that the official release is the 26th, but a leak may appear days before.
Does anyone know if DG tweeted anything to say otherwise?
If we get kitkat I could definitely hold onto my Note 2 for another year and not use my upgrade yet.
