iroot didnt work, and I couldn't downgrade to 4.4.2 (i think due to lack of factory rom file)... I guess I am just stuck with 4.4.4, w/o root

Wait. You're saying I can use flash an older kernel onto the newer phone (that came loaded with 4.4.4)? If I can do that, it would be fine. I don't care about 4.4.4, I care about having my phone rooted. So if I can essentially down grade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2, what was all the fuss about? It...

Hi All, I need some input, as I don't know what to do. I have a rooted VZW Note 3 (running 4.4.2), but the charging port recently stopped functioning almost entirely. Both USB 3 and USB 2 chargers would give me errors, stating they're incompatible and that charging was being stopped (with a...

Not that I am aware of.

I am on KitKat, with a VZW Note 3 (Build KOT49H). I rooted using towelroot, and then installed supersu. When I open supersu, it says the binary needs updating and gives me two options on how to update it (Normal or TWRP/CWM). Normal always fails. The other method sends my phone into a some...

Yes, but nothing really addressed a situation where the memory card reader within the phone is not working. There may be one method listed on there that I could attempt when I get back to my PC, though it certainly doesn't approach the simplicity that many other methods offer. I may not even...

Forgive the lack of insight, I am not too familiar with this. I am trying to root an old Droid X(2.3.4/.621) with a faulty sd card reader using framaroot. I also don't have access to a PC, though I have access to a Mac Book but not sure if it can write optical media. I tried to download the...

Is there an easy way to hide these two things, both of which I personally find annoying? The input icon in the pull down/notification bar pops up every time I open up my keyboard. It is harmless nut also pointlessly flying in the face of my fastidious nature. Why would I want to select a new...

Re: Screen Protectors Went back to give the one I bought for $10 a second look. It still certainly didn't look like it had been precision made, but it wasn't as bad as I first thought--though it was still garbage aesthetically. I decided to give it a shot, at least to serveas cursory protection...

Re: Screen Protectors Update on supershieldz note 3 glass screen protector: Haven't tried to install it because it appears to have been poorly manufactured. The sizing and alignment seem to be off. If I were to go ahead and install, it would look like a half assed effort and would totally...

Re: Screen Protectors Yea, the only reason I am suspect is because I don't really see anyone with that "brand" except the guy I bought from. It is possible that there are multitude of suppliers who repackage an identical product produced by a single manufacturer, though I have no evidence that...

Re: Screen Protectors I just bought a tempered glass screen protector by Supershieldz for $10 including shipping. In my haste, I ordered one without doing my due diligence. I saw someone on Amazon and Ebay with this product, which I thought the person above--Bembol--had been talking about the...

The only Memi I can find seems to be a U.K. based electronics retailer and they don't have any glass screen protectors for the Note 3 that I could find. Do you mean Mime? As in the Mime Ghost glass screen protector for the Note 3? Sorry, but I kept seeing Memi and I was wondering if that was...

Thanks for that, I do appreciate it.. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said overwhelming.. To paraphrase a Mr. Johnny Quid: "I am in need of a good education. That's what I need." I am going to do some homework because I don't think I was quite clear in my first post. It was late...

Forgive me if these questions are ridiculous to some, but I am having a little trouble grasping some of the basic elements of my new phone. I should probably preface these questions with a brief background on myself as a user though. I pretty much had been using an awfully insufficient Droid X...

Hey just a quick update.. Still learning but getting there, the extensive pdf guide and youtube vids helped. so did having my phone replaced, as I had to reconfigure it to my liking again. While I am glad I got a replacement phone, when I went to the store they were unable to replicate the $90...

Thanks to everyone for quick responses and warm welcome.. @cheesewiz: that was exactly how I was thinking of going about it, and probably still will do just that. I am having trouble figuring out which are Samsung features vs galaxy note specific features vs general android features (since my...

Good morning, I am a newly registered with android central but have made use of the the wealth of info located with in these forums before--from outside the wall so to speak. I figured this would be a good starting point I have recently made a quantum leap with an upgrade to a Note 3 from the...
