Mobile hotspot loophole has been closed and hidden menu access (allowing you to force 3g or 2g) has been disabled

If you've chosen the update but haven't installed it, how long can you delay it? Only 24 hours?

foxfi bluetooth tether still working

 

[anon24860]

FoxFi seems to working on wi-fi as well. I say "seems to be" because this was the first time I got the warning screen that others have written about in the past. I just backed out of it and didn't click any of the buttons. I am definitely connected to my computer and I just checked my account and Hot Spot is still not part of my plan. That doesn't mean that it won't be triggered going forward though so caveat emptor.

Updated 3:30am, posted 5:54am

Verified and reset to on/checked; Voice control in settings, checked... Incoming, Alarm, Camera, Music.

S Voice settings reset to on/checked; Wake up command, Voice wake-up, Wake up in secured lock (the only setting not already checked)

Still no "Hi Galaxy" response in dark screen ....Screen on, response normal.

A possible feature change to eliminate the occasional arbitrary/accidental activations that used to occur and amuse me?

My wife's note 3 was updated this morning and she says that the earpiece volume during calls is now lower than before. Is anyone else experiencing this?

the 4G speed went down after update. from 13 to like 4-5

 

[anon24860]

Mine went up from a max of around 30 to a max of 59. Upload has just about doubled. Fastest was about 16 as opposed to 8.

audio seems to be down slightly both thru the speaker and headphones. Also, I seem to remember the equalizer tube amp option working thru the speaker as well as external speakers and headphones, now it works ONLY on external outputs.

can you root MJE?

So two times now I have left my phone on the charger and come back to it fully charged but the green light is not on. When I wake up the phone it bypasses the lock screen totally. After unplugging it continues to do this until I pull the battery.

Also yesterday I could not wake the phone up at all and had to do a battery pull.

I believe Kingo's root is the only one currently working. Find it on xda, and of course use at your own risk.

My 4g is horrible now. More 3g than 4g. Time to go to Verizon.

I too noticed this after the latest update. At home everything is still fine, but at work, my signal strength has gotten noticeably worse and and I started falling back to 3G. I have a corner office on the top floor, so windows all around. I switched back to my iPhone 5 yesterday just so I could have some LTE. This is very frustrating. I thought the update was supposed to improve connectivity, not make it worse.
