You know the only way to fix this is using a custom rom.

I brought a SanDisk dual flash drive and transferred my music from one sd card to another. ....All I had to do was plug it into my phone.

Please help!!

Since I updated to 4.4 this morning Action Memo does not work anymore. I already cleared the cache and data but it did not help. I do not want to do a Factory reset again. Is there something else I can do? I had reset my Note 3 a few days ago and it was a horrible experience.

I'm reading this to see all the bugs. I haven't updated my phone. I still have the MJ5 version. Everything is working fine no need to update until later.

After you update are you changing your name to KitKatGurl?

Darn... If I update I would have to change my username.
KitKatgurl doesn't sound too bad, though!

Just don't change it to KitKatKid, that many Ks isn't a good thing.....

Seems to be a lot of confusion over external sd cards with kitkat, stock file manager, all functions supported, ES file manager, good, I have not tried transfers over wifi so can't comment on that...... but, all is not perfect, kitkat has definitely changed external SD card support for at least some third party apps, I use camera fv5, and it can no longer save directly to external storage, l can move the pictures after the fact, but not save directly. Stock camera still works fine.

My Note 3 on Sprint updated yesterday and today I was taking pictures with the built-in camera app and an error came up saying that it couldn't save to the sd card and that it would now switch to device memory. I have tried everything i can think of short of factory resetting the phone or reformatting the card. This is so frustrating...

Updated my Note 3 on Sprint. The only bug for me and MAJOR bug at that is that my Rdio Songs no longer download to my external SD card. I'd imagine its because its one of the apps that don't have permission yet to download to the external card. The fact that this is the MAIN reason why i bought a Note 3 (big screen + memory card FOR my music) really bugs me. Does anyone know if its a workable issue? or is root needed (I haven't rooted a phone since my S3 and would rather leave it stock).

With this is mind.
What's the best way to insure that the update doesn't get automatically installed?
I have turned off automatic updates and have stopped the Software App in the Application Manager.
Is there any other ways?

I screwed up big time by updating to Kitkat. The dreaded Android bugs are back. The reason I was staying with iPhone for last 4 years.

Wifi keeps dropping. Screen freezes for couple of mins and then I am forced to restart the phone. And NIL benefits from the update.

Ok.. I got another update last night from Samsung/Singtel. It was a small 40mb update and the only thing mentioned in change log was "Stability improvement". I will monitor this now and see if life is back to normal.

Update 1. Yoohoo, my Contacts showing the missing L & M. The bug has been quietly removed.

I wish I knew of an ironclad way of stopping it. What I mostly don't like about the updates is Verizon is quick to disable a feature that they figure can make them money if they charge for the service, or feel it circumvents users having to pay for a premium feature, and in the process break something else.

Kit Kat has definitely made phone snappier and doesn't use battery up as fast. Don't know that I care for the all white status bar icons either. One thing that has happened to me, and I haven't seen anyone else reporting it, is that my email is not updating. Gmail is fine, it is just the regular email app. Last synch it did was shortly before I got kit kat update on Friday morning. I've looked at every setting possible and even turned synch off and back on to no avail. I'm stumped, so if anyone has any clues, please feel free to chime in.

What about just down your tablet.

Have you tried removing the account then Re adding it?

I was trying to avoid going that route as i have some emails that are only on my phone as i deleted them off of the main account. i am going to try adding one of my other email accounts and if that works then i'll know i have to remove the problem email account and add it back. I'll just have to suck it up and lose the emails i didn't want to lose.

just forward the emails you need back on your main account to yourself and they will be backed up. a hassle, but if they are that important it might be worth it.
