Just Got 4.4.4 Via Kies, Verizon

If you go into about phone and into phone status it does tell you when the last reset was. It must be something they added either that or I just regained my sight.

OK, mine says 2/6/2015 LOL

lol use that unlimited data! they were going to throttle the top 5% right? but supposedly thought better of it. maybe a lot of people are hammering the towers near you for all those black friday weekend sales and that's making the data speeds slower, well hopefully. that would suck if it is the modem that was negatively affected!

I hope that's all it is, is the black Friday shoppers and cyber Monday things kicking off...

So flashing this won't void warranty since it's official firmware?

No, It will not void your warranty!

Did the Note 3 get extreme power save mode at all? Download Booster? Anything from the Note 4 or S5 UI or features?

Not your model. TMO Note 3 has had download booster, kids mode, etc, since May. Not ultra power saving though.

Sure would be nice if Verizon managed to allow some of those features.

Yeah it would

I do find it strange that people here have said that verizon/samsung told them the kid's mode app is not available yet. I don't know why it would vary at all from the tmo version. I don't need it on my phone but I did install it just to see what it was like so I know it's downloadable and installable.

After the update my battery is doing very good

Nice, that's always good to hear!

So I was going to flash this 4.4.4 today, but I am on the edge program with Verizon, when I go to trade this in in a few months, since it's stock firmware.... Does the flash counter show flashing this? No KNOX is tripped and I should be able to turn it in no problem? Once I flash it does that lil lock icon go away after the first boot?

 

[jeppes]

Mine never showed a lock icon on boot

 

[dc5_k20z1]

OK so no lock or unlocked icon and nothing gets tripped? It should look like I got this over kies or OTA?

 

[jeppes]

Yes

 

[jeppes]

The lock will show up if you root your phone and put custom ROM on it

OK good to know and you said under the status it says official still too?

 

[dc5_k20z1]

Should I enable the disabled bloatware apps and turn Nova launcher off and run the touchwiz launcher first?

 

[dc5_k20z1]

I downloaded the new firmware from sammobile and got Odin 3.09, although it shows i9505 in the upper left of Odin this is still OK for the Note 3?
