    Kit Kat observations on the Verizon Galaxy Note 2

    I'm confused... 4.3 is not Kit Kat... that's Jelly Bean... If these were not on in your 4.3 phone... they will not be on when an update to 4.4 (Kit Kat). And upgrading to 4.4 does not turn this off... at least if the update is done OTA from Verizon. At any rate these options exist in both...

    Note 8.0 discontinued by Samsung.

    It's funny you can still find them on Amazon at or near full price... It's not a surprise to see these tablets go away... especially in the Note type devices... Now that the 8.0 is on KitKat it will remain my "Mini Me"... I think my next tablet will be in the 10" or bigger range (I still have a...

    Samsung account won't sync after kitkat

    I'm seeing a number of Samsung branded apps that come up as not compatible with KitKat, but no sync-ing issues. I sync apps primarily with Google though... I have noticed my WiFi does seems to be more flaky depending on what type of hot-spot I try to connect with.... ~ScottGeek.

    Multi-Screen What Happened after KitKat?

    You got it.... it's interesting to see what drops off when you get your google acct connected and wait for everything to reload... There a number of old apps that become "un-compatible" with KitKat.... Not many in my case... fun stuff... ~ScottGeek.

    Multi-Screen What Happened after KitKat?

    Multi-Screen What Happened after KitKat?

    No tab and on the right of what? I look in under Settings -> Display-> and Multi window setting is grayed out and checked? Maybe I'm confused :eek: ~ScottGeek.

    Multi-Screen What Happened after KitKat?

    So, I get the pop up warning about holding the back button to get the multi-screen tab thing on the left edge... but you hold the back button and no tab. ??? Anyone else having this problem? Or know how to get the multi-thingy back? This worked before the KitKat update. Thanks... ~ScottGeek.

    S Pen Sound with KitKat

    So I use S Pen Toolbox app setting the pen attach/detach sounds to something I like. Yeap that light saber noise. After the 4.4.2 update I noticed my custom sounds stopped working. Yeap the S Pen Toolbox app seems to work, the notifications are still there...but no sound. So I got to poking...

    Why is the 8.0 In the phone forum section?

    Re: Why is the 8.0 Yes there is a phone model... But really, how many people use an 8" phone? :) This is a valid question. I can see there being a "Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Phone" here, but there should be a "Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0" in the Samsung Tablets section. Ya.... IMHO.... I got my Note...

Some system functions may not work" So, does anyone know how to disable this notification... yeap, I removed or moved lots of my apps off the note 2 and the notification went away once I dropped below...

    Verizon Galaxy Note 2 - What have you noticed about 4.3?

    Re: What have you noticed about 4.3? Actually, no. The Note III OTA'ed a while back to ...MJE (yes it did come with 4.3, but an older rev of 4.3) and the OTA update to 4.3 of the Note II did not cause the grey sd icons... Moving the apps from main memory to the sd card causes the odd icons...

    Verizon Galaxy Note 2 - What have you noticed about 4.3?

    Re: What have you noticed about 4.3? In the end, Yes... I rebuilt the grey sd ones... Weird/Odd? Well, IMHO, I believe so... I say this from comparison of the same process of moving apps to the SD with my Note III. Granted the two important points are that the Note III is different hardware...

    Verizon Galaxy Note 2 - What have you noticed about 4.3?

    Re: What have you noticed about 4.3? Ummm, well I moved a lot of my apps to the SD card and noticed that the icons on the home screens went grey with a little "sd" on them... very odd. And of course, some of those grey sd icons tell me that the app is not found. Really? So, one might...

    Your welcome people..... ;)

    Yeah, that's a no go... if you poke around to find the GN3 battery (EB-B800BUBESTA) This item is out of stock... maybe this has something to do with the link not working... Btw, the cart will not apply any coupon code because it wants to place in back order status... Ya, :) ~ScottGeek
