Hows Dev support for the s3?

I'll probably end up upgrading around December but, I've been curious as to what the current state of dev support is for the s3.
I've heard there are a number of problems with getting the NFC to work and I was wondering if this is local to the S3 or if it applied to all phones with NFC.

It doesn't apply to the galaxy nexus.

Can't speak for anyone else, but NFC works fine here (running CM10). Maybe it's another model of S3 that's having issues?

I'm not entirely sure which is actually why I felt the need to ask.
The S3 is a pretty nice piece of kit that I may pick up in Decemberish.. but, I'd like to make sure it can mirror my captivates longevity in terms of dev support.

Its a flagship Samsung phone. Of course there will be prolonged dev support.

Multi user accounts?

I know it's built into stock android but didn't know if Samsung left it alone when doing it up in tw or if it's still there.

Pretty sure it's gone. Looking for the article that mentioned accounts.

That's a bummer would really like to keep games separate other users

I have heard that Samsung has implemented multi user accounts on 4.3 so this tablet should come with it but don't quote me on it lol

There is no "users" option under settings.

That sucks, maybe it's planned for future update. I have read a few reviews that claim that the new note tablet Comes with multi user

I can see it on my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 WIFI version. but its no where to be found on the P605 Hong Kong version. I am in the USA. I am still on J6. I keep trying OTA update but it says all updates are already installed.

Same as those of us in the UK, my guess would be that we are all going to stay on MJ6 until the new KK gets rolled out.

Yes I supose but I do have a wifi version 4.3 and it has multi user

I have a Note 10.1 2014 WiFi and it has 4.3 it also has multiuser..... I am using one of the accounts now. I have one set up for my wife and one for me.. Trust me its there. I know its also in a few of the other updates.. I guess depends on which update was pulled.

G pad 8.3 to tab pro 8.4......

Hi guys I have a black g pad running cm11 which I'm very happy with BUT I also have a note 3 in black that I'm even more happier with.... So is it worth the upgrade to a black pro 8.4 ? I'm hoping there are users here who have made this exact jump and who could share their experience. Cheers guys.

I miss a lot of the LG apps but yes, it's worth the switch. The screen is far brighter (my biggest peeve with the gpad when watching movies). While I totally love my gpad and will miss it, the screen was an issue. The screen is bright and wonderful on the tab pro 8.4, as is the performance and battery life.

Same as cmscritic. I too loved my G Pad but the screen brightness (especially with movies) was a drawback to me. I also have the Note 3 and the Pro 8.4 looks just like a blown up version with new ui. Another build of Cm11 was released today and it looks like he fixed bluetooth so I'm fixing to give that a try. Go with the Pro , you'll never look back

Thanks for the reply, I saw the cm11 thread and read through the pages but couldn't workout if could be flashed to a UK tab as the thread title says USA only. Can this be done, thanks for your time.

I am not sure about that. I would drop a post in the thread and ask him, he seems to be very responsive and helpful.

Will do, I think I'm going to make the jump as I have just found a retailer in the UK who has the tab for 255 pounds and should get 130+ on eBay for the gpad, can't wait

I honestly don't know whether or not it works on any UK tab pro 8.4s. I know that there are 3 hardware revisions and the latest one definitely won't work (they have different kernel source for the USA vs. European editions) but otherwise the source code is looking the same. I'm going to try to get them all working soon.
At some point, I'll be asking for brave people to test builds that I can't myself test.

Thanks for the offer, but I had another guinea pig that beat you to it... CM11 should be working on all the sm-t320 variants now (but not the lte or 3g models).

s-pen sounds

Anyone know of a app that let's you change the sounds of detaching and re-attaching the S-pen? I found some old apps that worked for older note models but nothing for the for the Note 10 or 10 plus phone.

Are you having any issues using note buddy? I want to buy the pro version but I'm seeing mix reviews and I've noticed they stopped supporting the app.

It shuts down, but I don't think it's the app, I think it's my system settings.
