I don't know but i wait the compatibility with Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 ... i'm surprised because i have paid this tablet so much and in italy we have SKY(TV) where we can see Football, films,disney channel's cartoons, history channel discovery channel ecc ... but the app for mobile(to see sky on mobile and not on tv) Is compatible with ipad 1 ipad 2 Samsung galaxy tab 1 10 pollici Samsung galaxy tab 1 8.9...why for new tablet is not compatible like galaxy tab 2 10 and ipad 3 :-(

It seems like if you get the apk's for incompatible apps, they will install and work fine.

Hi everyone.
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and you can get apk from certain games and apps and it could work (for ex. Max Payne and GTA 3, but you need to download data via wifi).
But for other (mainly Gameloft's), you can install the app, download the data via WiFi, and still wont work.
If you google it, you can find a lot of issues and refund-requests because of people buying the games and apps and not getting them to work.

Ok thanks but why we who buy new things must lose?

Its not just if you have the apk. You need to change your build.prop file to emulate another device (such as galaxy nexus) see my post in this thread:

(in the q&a section)

Okok but can you pass me on pm the build.prop file that i need to work the gameloft games and other...

You dont need to change the whole thing. Just those few lines. I dont actually have an entire galaxy nexus build.prop (altho google could help) but I think that would seriously mess up your tab. Just download a build.prop editor and change those few lines. If you need the stock gtab 2 7.0 one i can give you the link (hopefully)

multi screen questions

Hey, I know its kinda early as most of you probably don't even have the note yet, but I was curious on how the multiscreen feature works. Can you use it with any app or just Samsung's special apps. Also is the feature packaged as an apk in system app files as to have the possibility of being pulled from the note and ported to other tablets. Thanks, and enjoy your new tablets.

As for now, it only works with Samsung Apps.
Maybe a custom Rom can change that, or a root app.

I was wondering this as well. I'm hoping there will be some way for third party apps to make use of it, but I'm thinking that's probably a pipe dream.

Its a great feature but only works for samsung apps sadly

To make it useable for other apps, Google would need to amend Android to support a virtual split screen. As long as split screen is not part of the OS itself, it will remain a specific solution.

I think the apps that in the multi screen is quite good, you have the snote, internet, polaris and email.

To all that would like to see this in non Samsung apps: send a question to @Samsung-dev twitter asking them to publish an API for this. It may not help but it cant hurt. I for one would love to see a published API for this and the mini apps. They have one For S-Pen, why not for these features also. Should be a value add for their tablet if there were community apps that could use this stuff.

Thanks was wondering about adding apps with UEALI3. Would have been great to add ezPDF to it.

This ability is part of the touch wiz interface.. Its a propitiatory patented framework Samsung will not share it with anyone. Trying to port it can cause severe security issues as this is based on pop up notifications. This is the reason the cornerstone split screen software has not went very far.There was a big write up about this and the cornerstone software on xda tv months back. I looked and cant find it

Currently on ics it's only possible with samsung apps. But as seen with the Jelly Bean updates in India it's going to change to all apps.

Can someone who has it already tell us how the look and feel is for the split screen.
I'm thinking about buying it to replace my 8.9 tab

best apps on samsung apps ( are there any)

So I thought I might start this thread to see what apps everyone likes on samsung apps if any.
I,'ve only ever found 3:
navigon
Need for speed
PES 2011
All available for galaxy tab 7 but not for note 10.1, unfortunately. Haven't found anything on there yet worth getting for this tablet.

You need to look harder.Ive found several that are not only worthwhile but paid apps at other stores.

Can you list any, is the Samsung store the same in all countries or does it depend on location as to what apps are available.

Anime Radio
Game Radio
Jet Set Radio

A Few

Amazing text free-you can label your home screens with text in different colors and effects.

I second Jet Set Radio! Controls work great on the tablet plus the game is classic from Sega.

afaik it depends on your location.
BTW, if you edit your device ID in the build.prop to GT-I9300 instead of N8000 you'll find 3-4 gameloft games which are normally paid but for free in the Samsung Apps store (Asphalt, Modern Combat 2 and 2 other which i can't remember)

It will be Google Galaxy Tab 2 instead of Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 then

I think that smasung had remove them because the touch wiz ui is bloated with malware so that if you have 2 users your device will run like anccent times!! also hardware plays a good term here maybe it could be eneabled by mod ??? it is already in cm10.X

What do you like/dislike about 4.4 for the Note 3?

Just thought I would make a thread comparing and compiling what people like and dislike about the latest 4.4 update for the Note 3. Personally I've found the update to be much of the same, however Samsung has made some annoying decisions too.
Likes
- Unlocking the phone is SO much faster!
- The new white icons look much better than Samsung's usual green ones.
- The new Notification shade looks more in-touch with modern Android styling.
- General speed all over.
Dislikes
- One feature of KitKat was Native Emoji support Samsung's default messaging app converts to MMS when you insert an Emoji.
- Samsung has included the most UGLY emoji's ever! These were already native on the Note 3 but I thought they would have switched to Google's.
- The fact Samsung even included a messaging app; why not just switch to Hangouts.
- The camera seems to be a bit laggier after the update, processing in dark images takes longer and is prone to blurriness.
- If you set a password or numeric code, when you unlock your phone unlike an iPhone or HTC you do not have to swipe. It goes straight to the input.
- General Samsung bloatiness and lag.
Overall I feel like KitKat has "refreshed" the Note somewhat, but I think that KitKat is not a major upgrade for the Note 3 at all, and it feels more like a .x upgrade. After using the Nexus 5, it really doesn't feel like the Note 3 is using 4.4, it feels much the same as 4.3.

Questions don't belong here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481255

Dislikes:
- Not using ART (Android Runtime)
Wasn't that the biggest innovation in KitKat?
- Again Samsungs country cluttering
On the new polish ROM learning hub, Music and Bookstore not working/downloadable in Germany
- AppOPS no native support
- SDcards getting useless more and more... wonder when we will not be able to move anything there - well we still can pay 100bucks per 16Gb more storage on phone

ART is still technically in beta form. Samsung will never add a beta to their final rls. If something messes up it makes them look terrible (more so than they already do..)
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

What I Like:
Awesome speed and smooth.
Better Audio quality.
Finally no more ugly green icon at status bar.
Much better camera output quality especially at night shoot. Sharp and clear.
Love the new lockscreen especially the music playback button.
What I Dislike:
S View chipset detection, now only original Samsung will work, not working for counterfeit include those branded like Spigen.
Disable of ART, I know it is beta but at least let use tryout.

Is there a chance to get the stock-emojis (google) back?

Though I see your point, I felt this is a general discussion amongst the Note 3 community. I'm inviting people to discuss what they like and do not like about the 4.4 update, though I understand the title alienates this.

'Tis a shame, though it's most likely down to the beta.

I hope, the ones Samsung include are so ugly!

was icallstr
Like
- Better colour when using the multimedia dock
- less buggy when detecting keyboard and mouse plugged into the dock
Dislike
- Non working un-official S-View covers (forcing rip off price official ones or nothing)
- Lower gaming performance (or so the Epic Citadel benchmark shows with lower phone performance, and locked at 30fps on HDMI)
- Sort of a like in that there is now landscape support for the non Multimedia Dock screen, but a major dislike that it's still the poor chopped off bottom row implementation that 3rd parties offer, the official version should at least have a layout that fits all the icons on the screen.
- Hit and miss SD card support, I find it either works really slow when trying to access it or seemingly doesn't work at all.
I can see this firmware being followed by a stream of bug fixes as it feels very beta, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the buggy beta accidentally released.

They better not abandon sdcard support, I didn't pay extra $$$ for the Google experience!

WTH

Can there be a lawsuit for this destruction of functionality?

Issue on 4.4.2 KitKat ROM - What I dislike now!
Flashing kitkat now will make the external SD almost useless. You will not be able write in certain process, example moving/copying data via third party explorer, multiple photos select for deletion at QuickPic, backup using Titanium Backup. No issue save camera photos on it or play games store at SD card. This only can be fix if you root your phone and change platform.xml and once root it is confirm 100% trip the Knox. Solution for fixing this issue [FIX][LEAKED 4.4]External Sdcard Mount Perms fix - xda-developers
KitKat ROM is detecting S View Cover Chipset, only Genuine Samsung S View Flipcover will working now. All counterfeit or any branded casing including Spigen SlimArmor View will stop the S View function once update to KitKat ROM.
There will be no downgrading back to 4.3 roms anymore after update to 4.4 KitKat ROM.
Don't play play mess with Bootloader, already got few user phone completely DEAD (cannot on or detect by PC) once mess with Bootloader.

If SD card doesn't work anymore Google can go to whatever, now I will need to block any possibility of this getting on my phone ever. I never thought I may start thinking if Windows phone wouldn't be an option for me in the future. One Crapple is enough on the phone market.

Hi, I change the statement. It can read and write but not all write process.

This is all stupid peoples fault.
if it wasn't for people being so technically inept, companies wouldn't have to cater to them by degeneratively dumbing down each and every version release.
Soon android will have no functionality, just like Apple iOS

New bootloader is required for 4.4.x is [email protected]@k joke.

Google is slowly starting to become a joke. Deciding to only update the Nexus 5 to the new "Google Experience" launcher has majorly fragmented the feel of Android through & through. I'm also starting to find that Google apps used to be robust, they are now starting to show lack of innovation and also some bugs. Take Hangouts for example, it is not a nice application to use on the Note 3 at all.
