I have the ATT Galaxy s3, and I was thinking of rooting it. But honestly I have no knowledge of what rooting is. So like I read before if I dont know anything about it, or dont have a reason to then stay away from it. So I have been waiting for this new Jellybean software to some out. Does anyone know a set date that its suppose to happen? I got an update the other day but I still have the same Android version, the file size was 82.05mb. What was that for???
The software update includes:
- Near Field Communications (NFC) capability, which enables ISIS Mobile Payments.
- Updates on the Flipboard Application
- Screen Lock Updates
- Enhanced Keyboard Updates
- Implement All Share Cast
- Implement Enterprise-Grade Authentick IPsec VPN
As for jellybean....who knows.

Jelly Bean will be here soon.
Any update that is, say under 100mb on the high side, is nothing more than a patch or incremental.
Believe me when I say this. When JB comes out, there will probably be 10 "I just got JB" threads popped up in each of the variant SGS3 fora. So you'll know for sure when it is out.
Thread Closed.
This morning the Galaxy S4 received an update allowing apps to be installed on the SD card. Has anyone read anything referencing an update to the note 8.0 or note 2?

That is fine for those who have rooted the note 8.0 however some of us are running stock. I have rooted and unlocked all of my devices over the past 3 years however the note 8.0 is the first device I actually found tollerable running stock. In addition to that their is very limited development at the current moment.
Thanks for the suggestion even though it did not relate to my origional post.

I'm also hoping that supported apps to SD will be released for the note 8. I'm using a rebinding technique now and my device now and again randomly reboots. I also need to modify Civ's kernel installers to add my startup script (not terribly hard to do, mind) so that my backups are located correctly and quickly if I do a ROM install or a kernel update.
I saw the announcement about the S4 and am optimistic that the Note devices will get it as well.
Is there anyway we can start an online petition to Samsung (that they will actually receive) to give us Apps2SD?
I think if there is not some kind of protest as with SG4 they will ignore us.
The Note 8 is a great tablet but still not a popular one like the SG4.

Let me do some research. I will contact Samsung today. I am more than willing to start one if they do not have plans to release an update.

Who said that Samsung does not support their devices? The only question asked was if they would release am update to allow app to SD. I am fine with 4.1.2.

Has the more popular Note 2 received this update yet? If not then don't expect the Note 8 getting it until then.
How ever, if they determine that not having this feature is hurting sales. Then they will have it out very soon.
Also, I personally feel the only reason it's offered for the S4 is to combat the HTC 1. Which offers 32 & 64gb internal memory vs. S4 measly 16.
No it hasn't I have a note 2

Poor Response from Samsung
I contacted support about this a month ago. They sounded clueless as to what I was asking for. We need to get their attention on this. My tab was rooted so I could map folders and the last update unrooted it and now I can't root using Framaroot.

Not a real solution to the update issue but you can use cf-auto-root to root.

It looks like the 4.2.2 leaked ROM for the N5110 has the App2SD feature added for some Apps. :good:
I was just reading that. Hopefully Samsung will get back to me concerning the issue.

Side loaded 4.2.2 yesterday. Most of the apps can be moved to the SD card. One app I have issue with is Flixter. I moved it to SD card, but when saving my Ultraviolet movies, it still stored on internal card. Chatted with support yesterday prior to installing new ROM. The support rep kept asking me if there was a "Use SC Card" option under "Settings>Storage". Since I was still on 4.1.2, I assumed it was a 4.2.2 feature. Checking with 4.2.2, I do not see that option. Unless they have a later patch than the leaked one I'm using.
Also noticed a new file system layout. They new system has /storage with /emulated and /extSdCard as the 2 sub folders. Not sure where they are going with /emulated. It only has 1 folder /0, and that looks like the familiare internal storage layout. By default /storage/emulated/0 is the default home folder.
Does anyone know where they are going with this?

It's for the multi-user feature that was introduced in 4.2. /0 is the home directory of the main user, /1 is the home user for the second user, /2 for the third and so on. This way, each user of the device can have their own home directory. The emulated part is so that old apps that haven't been updated to b multi-user aware can still work (sort of; they may act weirdly if there's more than one user using the device).

I've read tons of issues with KitKat on the Note 3. People have been complaining about:
1) Battery drains
2) Constant restarts
3) Issues with WiFi calling
4) Trouble getting flash to work
5) Problems with non-Samsung Window Cases
6) Major issues getting non-OEM apps to write to the SD Card
7) Changes to the bootloader making it impossible to revert back to Jellybean if you wanted to
With all that known what are the ADVANATGES of updating? I read the font is different and you get full screen art on the lock screen for the music player. Why would somone update to KitKat when you lose so much and gain so little?
I agree kitkat is a sellout compared to jellybean.

I've only had issues with #1.
#4, flash, I'm assuming you're talking that antiquated, discontinued web crap by adobe. Not an issue or concern for me.
2,3 I've not had issues with.
5? I don't have any like that, but supposedly there's a fix if you're rooted.
6, if you're rooted, there's a very simple fix.
7, yeah but don't care.
Advantages... Cause it's there. it's the latest and greatest... LOL, ok, so it's not a real advantage I guess.
I have had no issues with my Note 3 except for #6, which is a Google thing...
My note 3 came with KK out of the box, tho. Dunno if that makes a difference.
Question about #6. Is that like, if you have a 3rd party Camera app...it won't save the pics to the external SD? Like there is an option in the app...but it just won't save? Also, it is a KK on Note 3 problem?
OP is misleading. Only the Jizzer kitkat roms are sucky. CM, BeanStalk, GE and others are fine - no excess battery drain, full signal, no random reboots, no Samsung crapware all over the place. KitKat is a huge success aside from those Samsung TW abominations.

Tell those people complaining on the T-Mobile Forums that took and installed the OTA KitKat upgrade that their issues are just in their heads. If you have to root your phone to gain back functionality that was on the phone before you updated then the update is horrible. They are calling it the KitKat virus. But I am sure they are just crazy. Take two non-rooted phones. One on Jelly Bean one on KitKat. Which one will let your third party apps write to the sd card and which one will not. Now tell me which version of Android is better.
There are no advantages. At times you could say perhaps it's more secure to avoid viruses. But that's about it. It's junk.
...As I was just about to go kk...upon reading numerous posts all throughout....there are no practical advantages Lol. Why why why release such a crap update? At least make it worth while. What a waste of such a great name kk on a useless release.

Um, he mentioned AOSP ROMs as being huge successes. KitKat is amazing when it comes to AOSP, and TW as always is ****. The issues aren't in their heads, they're real, but it's not hard to fix it.

If you have to root the phone and modifiy it to get back functionality lost that is a problem. Sounds like you need some reading comprehension yourself. :good:
KitKat was more of a prank for Note 3 owners than an upgrade.
Reduced functionality, zero benefit.

Download Total Commander and it will allow you to write/rename to the SD Card.
How can us kitkat users go back to the previous version? I'd like to have vpn working again plus i'd like to not have tethering use up my limited tethering data.
I am rooted right now and adjusting the dun string settings.db doesn't fix it. Whenever i tether with another device even using another phone or googlebots it still goes up and data is counted as mobile hotspot usage.

I'm not trying to be a jerk either but I think you're confusing forums: this is Q&A help/troubleshooting forum, title says nothing about mods, there are separate forums for Android development and mods, so he is in the right place and you're completely missing the point, which is: why does he have to root the phone just to get back the functionality he had before upgrade. I'm not against rooting and modding, I'm rooted myself, but the fact is Google messed KK big time for no reason. Some people, myself among them, choose Note 3 for its SD as one of selling points and frankly I could not care less about even 15 % speed increase (like Note 3 wasn't fast enough), if I couldn't use extra memory. Another problem with KK is that rooting without tripping Knox is much more difficult now and we are still not clear what tripping Knox means as far as warranty goes. Is Android becoming another Crapple and everybody will need to wait for jailbreak to actually use their phone to it's potential?

Thank you Pete my sentiments exactly! I was also curious what KK does that actually IMPROVES the user experience. Taking away SD Card access doesn't seem to accompllish that goal so I was wondering if I was missing something. I appreciate everyones imput.

unfortunately must agree with you..at least we can found a dev to build cm13 for us...
The 6.0.1 firmware does appear in SamMobile’s Firmware page, but it is not available through FOTA or Smart Switch.
Korean media says the reason for stopping Marshmallow update is because of an error in Instagram app (as stated in here http://post.mk.co.kr/archives/24557 ). Apparently, Instagram is using some system files that Google has restricted, and this is causing crashes when scrolling. Samsung has contacted Instagram about this issue and will resume the update process when everything is solved.
According to Samsung customer service, Instagram in Marshmellow do not working. Because Instagram uses file which google restricted, so scroll problem in Instagram app.
Samsung requested urgently Instagram to revice app. This is the end of samsung reply.

I thought it was simply camera improvements and a security patch because this is all that was said (though the 812MB size seemed a little big for a patch):
Android OS Upgrade
Camera funcionality has been improved.
Usability improvements through Google patch.
Update size: 812.2 MB
Folks, we have Pie . Downloaded in Toronto on Bell.
Interesting fact: the screen buttons showed the Pixel "pill" as the phone finished booting, then it reverted to the traditional 3-button layout. Not sure yet if it can be changed to the pill in settings.

The phone feels a bit snappier, yet the geekbench score is a little lower. They might have tweaked the frame rate a bit in 9.0 to make things smoother. The search bar is now at the bottom like the Pixel, which I like. You are given the choice of using the Pixel's gesture navigation or the traditional 3-button layout. I'm sticking with traditional, as I find the gesture option less efficient. Battery life seems a bit better but it is too soon to tell. Stock Android is a bit more colourful now in the settings icons and pull down menu. Overall I like it.
Hi guys,
Be advised to remove your current microsd card before upgrading...
A few days ago, I installed the update to Android Pie on my brand new phone on Bell carrier (Canada).
Forgot to remove my microsd card and after the update ; it told me "corrupted sd card".
I had to put it on my computer to backup all the stuff.
Then I reinserted the card in my G7 One and reformatted it.
Then finally, I connected my phone to my pc and retransferred the data.
I had a similar experience on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge when trying to flash an Oreo rom over Nougat already installed and microsd card inserted.
My situation was similar to this post (I think they call that a "software lock") :
Can't post the url, but google "microsd corrupted after android upgrade", 1st result.
Removing card might help. But the problem is Android creates some folders and files within SD card which signifies which apps can access SD etc. So if you face the issue - just remove these android service dirs/files - something like Android, data, obb etc. Be careful not to remove your pictures/videos in DCIM folder. Use PC for SD card management.
Full reformat will work too, but it is a little extreme
