Galaxy Note 3 Verizon: Lollipop Update

[ShaggyKids]

Has anyone figured out how to remove the "Verizon Wireless" from the top left corner on the lock screen?

I don't have it on mine. I put lock screen wallpaper on it, no VZW logo and don't think it was there before the wallpaper addition. Maybe try a wallpaper?

This only started with Lollipop, so are you sure you're on Lollipop? If so, do you get email and text notifications in its place? I use a live wallpaper on my TMO Note 3 lock screen and still have the carrier name and no notifications.

Someone will have posted this link somewhere I'm sure, but as I was reading the T-Mobile version of this article (I had saved from another poster - Dog5000) I saw they had this newer Verizon version, so I thought I would post it anyhoo.
Bit late but it might help even one user.

Me - I am in London so I'm not on either.

I think I am due soon.

It's sweeping from country to country every day on Sammobile.

My mistake it is there but obviously not intrusive for me. Apologies.

I can't find Priority Mode in this new version. All on line articles say it should be in the Sound & Notification settings, but when I go there the "Interruptions" option is not there. The notifications are popping up all night over my Night Clock app and lighting up the room. Anybody find this setting yet?

^ Oh, oddly enough, no problems when the phone is charging.

I'm in a cold climate. When the phone is charging, the battery warms up the screen.
How cold your phone is actually affect Screen Touch Sensitivity. Under phone settings, try increasing touch sensitivity.
Might help a little bit.

Lollipop 5.0 has Tooooooooo many bugs. Fervently Wish I had not upgraded.

So far with the update i do like that fact, that if am playing a game on my phone and i get a text i get a pop up that allows me to reply to that text with out exiting the game that is one of the pluses i see, the colors just taken time to get use too, seems normal now , if you see it as a new phone, but there could be things that it offers that i just dont know of yet that i havent stumbled on too,

Nope. Verizon probably left it out.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but to the people upset about the lockscreen timeout being too fast, turn off power saving mode. I've noticed that the lockscreen stays on much longer when not on power saving mode.

Anyone else's signal significantly worse? My phone is constantly dropping to 1X now and it never comes back to 3G or 4G without enabling/disabling airplane mode. I factory reset after the update. My signal didn't used to be good on KitKat but it would at least stay in 3G at the worst.

Yes, my service has been definitely affected. I have been forced to loop airplane mode also numerous times thru the day.

My MHL (samsung brand) adapter that worked well prior to the update, now works for video, but will not charge the phone.

Definitely timing out too quick! Major flaw I hope gets fixed soon.

Its actually harder than it appears. I make it look easy.

Mine takes plenty of time to time out and once I hit a single number on the pad it turns back on even if it has started to dim. I do not use power save mode. I did clear system cache.

Off subject but with the Note 3 being as big as it is why didn't they make it so you can use it in landscape/horizontally? I never got that.

Just enable screen rotation and you can.

 

[bitzyme]

Settings - Display - Auto Screen Rotation. Make sure it's checked.

Yeah, but the lock/home screen not rotating sure is a pain when it's mounted in my car. It distracts me more than it should while behind the wheel. All my previous Droids' lock/home screens rotated.

That's exactly what I meant. It's annoying.
