Hi. LONG time member- but I have not posted in many, many years. I think my profile lists my phone as a Blackberry Storm. LOL! I just upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to a Note 9. As you can imagine- the difference is stark. My Note 4 still works really well (if you don't need to run...

I couldn't find any information that indicated a problem with this update (to MMB29M.N910VVRS2CQB2) so I caved in and installed it. I can confirm that Foxfi still works as it did before.

I just received an OTA update a few days ago (Feb 23 2017) that is reportedly an Android security patch and other undisclosed updates and fixes. Can anyone tell me if Foxfi still works after applying this update?

I know I asked this question several months ago, but I have since solved the problem. If you are reading this- you are probably frustrated that you cannot use the hands free BT functionality in your early to mid 2000's BMW. You basically have 3 options: 1) Buy a newer ULF (BMW's on-board...

I manage a 4-line Verizon plan. 1400 shared minutes, $10 per line for 1000 text messages on 3 of the 4 lines (one of the lines does not use text messaging), 2 lines have the old grandfathered unlimited data, and 2 have a 2GB plan. Collectively per month we use 4 or 5 GB of Data on average, and...

I am considering rooting my VZW Note 3 in hopes that there is a ROM that uses the pre-KitKat Bluetooth profiles. I do not know if you can root under 4.4.4, but BT does not work with Samsung's version of Android in my car anymore. It's absolutely infuriating.

Sadly- it looks like one bug that was not successfully addressed (for me at least) is that bluetooth is still inoperable in my 2006 BMW. Does anyone happen to know if there is there a VZW Note 3-specific changelog for the update?

Looking to backup some photos and videos, and when I plugged my stock Verizon Note 3 into my PC, Kies started up and told me that there is a firmware update available. I accepted and installed it, and now my Android version is at 4.4.4. Anyone else see this? I'm in NJ in case it makes any...

I just plugged my stock Verizon Note 3 into Kies and it told me that there is a firmware update available, so I accepted and installed it. My Note 3 is now on 4.4.4. Anyone else?

You must be rooted, correct? Otherwise- how do you get it to work? I tether (only occasionally) my stock (non-rooted) Note 3 on an unlimited plan via Foxify, and it works very well. A Verizon rep told me that only huge data use may get a user flagged for use in ways they are disallowing (like...

I have the same problem as the OP. I have a 2003 BMW 5-Series, and before Android 4.2, the Bluetooth worked perfectly. After 4.2- my phone pairs with the car, then disconnects and reconnects constantly until you just switch off bluetooth out of frustration. In my mind- the problem is...

Hi folks. I posted the same question long ago, but I thought maybe enough time had gone by where somebody has perhaps figured out a fix for it. I've had my Note 3 since February, but the Bluetooth never worked in my older (2003) BMW. It will pair successfully, but it will continuously connect...

I went ahead and upgraded last night. I found it to be slightly better, but more or less the same. In case anyone reading this has the same bluetooth issues as I do- there was no change in my problems connecting to my hands free bluetooth in my car. It still connects, then moments later...

I know upgrading will mostly depend on how I use my Note 3. My Note 3 is stock- not rooted (and I do not intend to root). I am not sure what the to believe about the SD card issues introduced by KK. I am on unlimited data, so I stream music from Google Music, but I store my photos & videos...

Re: Toggles in notification tray not working Smhism- Sorry- I was bleary when I wrote that question. I meant to write that tap to toggle wasn't working, but I uninstalled an app that I had recently installed and then pulled the battery, and everything went back to normal. Still- I appreciate...
