Tips and Tricks for the Galaxy Note 3 - Galaxy Note 3 General

Hey guys - didn't see a thread with a lot of the tips complied but I did have one to share - that seemed something to do - pretty much as soon as you get this guy booted. Figured I could get the ball rolling on a complied listing for new owners to get up and running! Please add on if you know of some quick tips for a quick leap into the Note 3 scene! :good:

[APP][1.5+] WebLiveWallpaper: set whatever you want as wallpaper or widget! (v0.98.4)

WebLiveWallpaper: Set content (galleries/animations/sites/cams from the web or local files/folders) as Live Wallpaper, live widget or as picture frame.
Create your personal show, create your own (animated) wallpaper with JavaScript!
Original first post:
I wrote my first live wallpaper today because I did not find something like it and thought it should not be too difficult to do. So here it is. I always wanted a real live wallpaper displaying something from the web instead of just a picture or offline animation. For me it is really useful because I can keep an eye on my favourite webcam over the day and decide to go there if the conditions stay or improve. A lot of other use cases should be possible ...
There is now also a picture frame app and a live widget included (also running on devices without live wallpaper support).

Noone else thinking this is a great idea?
This enables you to get an automated cycling flickr-Wallpaper, the National Geographic Pic of the Day automatically on your homescreen. Or the latest News-Picture, or your wallpapers from many image galleries. And of course webcams ... and so on. I think this freedom and possibilities is what makes Android so great!
New version with asynchronous loading, much improved website parsing. Still a lot to do (performance, widget, website redirects supported, better organisation of links and settings, ...) and so little time. But I really think this one has to appeal to some more people than just on a few sports-forums I read/post where people enjoy watching webcams!?!

I'll def give this a try!
this is awesome! thank you..
This seems a brilliant yet simple idea and seems to be well done. I will give this a try but its not realy for me as i dont have a data plan and only really use my wifi at home to connect so the updates on the pic would not be frequent enough.....maybe one day I will treat myself.
Thanks for your hard work
Def. bookmarked for later use. Very good idea.
New version 0.84 with optimizations and better gallery support
Loading is faster now (and you can enable a progress bar if you are curious/need to know).
I also added an option to dig into picture galleries (load the large version of the image which looks much better as a wallpaper on highres phones).
For the next update I am working on cycling the gallery pictures instead of using the most recent "best" one so there will be even more Live for more 'static' webpages.
New apk attached to first post!
Awesome. Thanks!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Version 0.9
Has a lot of changes (hopefully good ones) with the loading and gallery stuff and a LOT of options to set everything fine.
For example WIFI exclusive updating has been added! Also the quick selections have presets now to explain useful settings for your sites ...
Still a lot to do. Next will be password protected webcam/server access.
0.9.1 fixes some things
no more default WIFI-only enabled (red screen if mobile at first start)
fixes of parameters for some quick selection items
no more crashes with wrong/incomplete URLs entered by hand
0.91 ... watch xdadevelopers (or other website) live on your homescreen background
See last screenshot attached to first post It's a hack (web snapshot) I may regret/have to replace by something else later and not fast. But should be ok for a lot of use cases.
And a lot of more serious updates like a sorted settings menu, access to standard password protected servers/cams, better gallery updating with long refresh times.
Edit: v0.91.1 can now be opened after install/in market for all those people not knowing what a wallpaper is!
Taking a look at this on my sgs!!
Dev, you should have more confidence in patience, it's a great idea ;-). I typically wait until things hit the RSS, so I'm sure you'll see a little spike since it just came up in the past 20 minutes.
Good luck! I do have a question, have you judged the battery life impact? I did see the custom refresh rate option, but still I am curious to see what impact it had on both your idle and active battery life stats if you update as often as a regular widget since it'll probably download more data.
Suggestions: Be able to set up a schedule
Preferably with different settings for different days. For instance, M-F have it set to use pic of the day with an update every 24 hours, then on weekends have it set up to show a web/weathercam every 15 mins.
Also, being able to set it, instead of every X seconds, being able to set it to update maybe 3x on M-F would help out in a few cases. Example, to see a traffic or weather cam just before going to/from work.
Good luck, I look forward to seeing what you do with it, I'll let you know my findings.

all i can say is AMAZING
and also FOOTBALL scores as my live wallpaper FTW
come on you POOL!
Very nice. Works pretty well.
It would be real nice if you could get the picture to use the whole screen. Not sure if you are constrained by the site of course but I want to use this on my Archos 101 and it has a 1024X600 resolution so I get a lot of black bars.
Thank you for making this available.
Good idea.
How is on battery life though?
Very interested to see where this goes. Great idea IMHO. Subscribed.
Nice work.
Nice work. While trying this out, I ran across an issue. I accidentally the refresh time. If you enter nothing for the refresh time, it will force close (v0.91.2).
Great idea
Think of busy parents whose kids are in a daycare with kiddie cameras...live feed of your baby !
Awesome app. Ive bben wanting something like this for a while. Maybe could add some battery saving settings. thank you !!!!!!!

Multi-User Jelly Bean

So looking through the XDA main page and watching todays video they highlight a 15 year old developer
Raghav Sood
The thread is here
I decided to give it a whirl and this will be awesome once we get a user select screen on boot. I am liking the idea of having a screen for my wife with no mod/root apps on the home screens.... just games, etc...
Mind you, it still has bugs... setting wallpapers in a sub account affects the primary still, etc... but it is well on its way to making itself part of my DD...
So my screens will be:
1. Default User (Mine)
2. Wife
3. Mod (Having a Mod User that puts all my mod/root/diag apps in folders on the home screen)
4. Bare Bones (For speed)
I see this as a real tool that I can use and I hope that it gets merged into CM10 as a viable tool at some point...(once the boot screen stuff gets figured out...)
Anyone else have some thought on this? Am I looking at this wrong? I don't want to flood his thread with Skyrocket talk since it is more of a download/issues thread.
I am directing this as more of a HOW WILL YOU USE MULTI-USER?

[Q] App/Panel ideas for the Edge screen?

I'm not a developer or programmer (although I could learn how to, but by the time I figured out how to create a program, the Note Edge 3 would be released), but being an end user of the phone and with first hand experience, I can always comes up with ideas that may improve the functionality and accessibility of the device. Below are some of the ideas on different panels/apps that I think can greatly improve the functionality of the Edge screen.
Music Control - This definitely needs to happen. It would be amazing to be able to control your music app (play, pause, stop, fast forward, rewind, etc.) while using your phone for other tasks without having to open up the music app.
Multi-Window Functions - Why can't we use the edge screen as the multi-windows toolbar? Instead of having to hold the back button for the toolbar to appear, we can just drag the apps from the Edge screen and start multi-windows.
Task List - Tasks on the Edge screen where we can tap it to mark it as complete and a new task will show up. This could also be a shopping list and will most definitely be useful for Black Friday.
Bubble Level - There's a ruler...why can't there be a bubble level too?
Battery Bar - I know there's a battery bar at the top of the screen, but it would be nice to have a larger battery bar that's actually color coded based on the percentage of life left. And it could also displays percentage of battery life as well as remaining usage time.
Fantasy Score Updates - I play Fantasy Football and Basketball and would love to see updates on my Fantasy scores without having to open up the Fantasy apps.
What do you think of some of the ideas? Do you have any ideas you would like to share? Hopefully a developer/programmer will read this thread and create some of the highly requested/useful panels/apps for the Edge screen.
There is a thread with a list going. My company will be building a suite of apps that accomplishes many of these items.

Do you have a link to the thread by any chance? And what's the name of your company so that I may follow the progress of the suite? Thank you in advance.
When I first saw the edge, the first thing I thought of was my fantasy team lol. Fantasy points would be amazing. Yahoo already has a sports ticker, I'm unsure if Yahoo has any api that will allow other apps to pull points, but that would be so amazing.
I like the idea of a bubble level too. Seems like a no-brainer now that you mentioned it.
I'd like to see web browsers take advantage of the edge and place navigation buttons there so you wont have to hit menu->forward or menu->reload or menu->load desktop site anymore.
I'm also interested in being linked to that other thread with edge app ideas as well, please
ok dudes, let me get some of this work off my plate tonight and tomorrow, I'll probably make an official post or something for this. I responded to a few people in different threads so I went quickly and copied them here to give you guys something to ponder on, and add suggestions. This is a aggregation of things requested.
Ultimately the goal is to make apps that make it productive for business, and then make a few extra general apps. I was thinking a suite of 4-6 depending on the complexity to build.... which given how I design, the apps are usually complex to build. But with the limited space and functions of what we are making, these may not be to bad on time.
Some of these apps may exist, but I won't have my phone til Monday to see what comes preloaded. If I feel there is a lack of functionality, like in the messaging widget I'll build a better mousetrap.
WIDGETS
1. A rss feed type panel where user could add their own feeds.
2. A To Do list (integrates with outlook... so it can pull my data from there)
3. Messaging alert and reader. -- (so you can switch between sms/email/etc and use your finger to swipe left/right like a ticker to read the messages.. and maybe swipe up and down to cycle messages... still in thought)
4. Level tool
5. Music controls while using the phone
6. Twitter timeline
7. A converter tool.
8. Ir favorite channel edge panel
9. swipe or knock to turn screen on
feel free to add on!
Thanks for the reply.
So the Edge has an IR Blaster? If that's the case, I'd go further than just a favorite channels bar and add Volume up/down/mute as well as power too.

You and me both! The first time I saw it presented at CES 2013, I said to myself that it would be neat to see Fantasy updates on that side of the screen while at the bar or pub. lol.
And yes, I would love to have all the browsers navigation bar on Edge, it would make web browsing so much better and more efficient.
@jribbe101
Thanks for listening to the community feedback on creating apps for the Edge, I greatly appreciate it and I'm sure I'm not the only one! I look forward to supporting your company in the near future and am excited to experience your apps firsthand.
no problemo. Speaking of a fantasy widget... I am currently working on something that would probably blow y'alls minds, lol. I'm designing the UI now, and will have a running beta for March Madness and TNT (cable channel). So maybe I will integrate it with the edge... A small easter egg for our "limited" community

Hi jribbe101,
Its great to see you're giving user suggestions serious consideration. Can't wait see some of these ideas come alive. These apps potentially makes the edge seriously useful.
Good luck!

I agree, all these reviews talking about it being a gimmick.. I can actually see some good use for that screen in my daily business scenarios that would make small things more efficient. So, maybe we can make them eat those words @[email protected]!
Which forum should I post my thread on? General or Q&A? I'm going to start the new thread with this username and want to make sure it's under the right area. It will be a starter thread to aggregate ideas to pick which apps should be made.
Yes it has an IR blaster and comes with Smart Remote app (the same thing that was on the note 3 just renamed and themed a bit)
I was the one asking for frav Ch. IR. I think it would be cool to just swap over and tap the top 5 ch you watch.
There could also be one for vol up and down or even channel.
For those that arent use to the power button on top. You can get a screen off/power off app from the market and short cut it to the edge.
So far there isnt much i can think of for apps for the edge. Most of the stuff i can think of would have to be updated via the main app.
i.e.
facebook status scrolling,
ebay ending soon count down
TV guide reminders
I would love to be able to put any app that I have in the drawer to the edge screen instead of just the basic ones. Then you can put any of your favorite apps or most used apps in edge screen for easy access, or more sports ticker options for sports scores, yahoos one basic doesnt have any NCCA college football options.
Probably not the right thread but it's Q&A so I thought I would give it a shot , problem is I can't get the side panel to turn on without turning on the whole screen , I've read and read , your supposed to just activate it by running your finger or thumb up and down the side panel , but no matter what I do I can't get it to work without turning on the whole screen , am I missing something , I couldn't even get the night clock to work as it is supposed to , now to be fair I haven't had the phone for even 24 hrs yet , but have set everything up and messed around with it for a few hrs ...? Stumped ....any help or suggestion's would be greatly appreciated , I'm beginning to think I got a lemon , Thank's in advance ....

I don't have a Note Edge yet for reference, but I recall reading somewhere that you can "wake" the Edge panel by swiping your finger right and then left on it. Then once you wake it, you can use your thumb to swipe up and down to look at the different panels.
I do not believe that the edge panel turns on with the main screen still off.

Yes, it does. With the screen off, swipe back and forth on the sharpest part of the curve. That's the most sensitive part of the edge display. That will turn on the clock/notifications/weather (wait a bit, and it'll start scrolling to show your notifications). To access your panels, slide left or right on the edge as you would when the screen is on. once again the sharpest part of the curve is most sensitive.

I can confirmed that this works. Just put your thumb on the edge screen with your thumb covering the whole side of the edge, and slide/drag it up and down.

Add Missing Toggles (Must have ROOT)

Are you missing Toggles like Data - Network Booster - Wifi Hotspot?
It is pretty easy to do -just follow these steps:
Before we begin, I am not responsible for who is president - who is running for president - or what happens on your phone. If you decide to do this and your phone blows up and nuclear war begins - it's not my fault.
First - ROOT your Device - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/dev-pre-root-firmware-twrp-testing-t3183877
Next you wil need an ap like SQL Lite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&hl=en
OPen SQL Lite -
CLick FIles (along the top of the screen)
Click Data
Click Data again
Click Com.Android.Provider.Settings
CLick DataBases
Click Settings
CLick System
Look for Notification_Panel_Active_App_List - There are two that look very similar - do NOT select the one that ends with ...for_Reset
Click on Notification_Panel_Active_App_List - it may take several clicks - sometimes a whole bunch of clicks until it recognizes and is obviously selected - once it is selected (it will be highlighted in grey) Click the Pencil in the top menu or edit (depending on the ap you are using)
Now - click your cursor so it is at the very end of the last entry - it will end with a semi colin, something like this: WiFi; make sure there is no space between the last semi-colin and the cursor - now enter the toggle names you want to add - there are a bunch that are missing - but the ones I use the most are:
WiFiHotspot;NetworkBooster;MobileData:
I have seen a bunch of other toggles added - but I honestly don't know what their names are - I only ever add the three you see above.
Always put a semi-colin between the names of the toggles - use the exact letters I have written here - CASE SENSITIVE _ so write it exactly like I have here - and always make sure there is a semi-colin at the end of the last toggle you enter. NO SPACES between toggle names -
Here is a screen shot of what it should like when you finish: View attachment 3452849
After you have added your toggles - click save - reboot and you will see the toggles in notification area - you can them move them around to put the ones you want where you want them.
Hope this is helpful -
I did not figure this out on my own - I read about it a very long time ago - can't even remember who did it first - someone with a lot more knowledge than I have - but I has bee very useful when I find certain toggles missing.
Good Luck!
I got the same advice for my S6 Edge, but it wasn't working (changes weren't applied) so if you are one of those unlucky users try also with a very handy app available on the Play Store called QuickPanel Manager.
It works also with other Samsung devices other than the Note 5 and the S6/S6 Edge (got the torch back on my S4 LTE+).
Ok I found the mistake in the op. At the end of your 3-items that you end you've put a : when it needed to be a ; just wanted to point that out as it's the reason that after following these instructions 2 of the 3 show but the mobile data doesn't. Other than that great instructions.

[App]PowerToggles is now open source!

Hello guys. I created Power Toggles a few years ago, and have been slowing adding features to it.
But I have not been getting time to keep update the app for some time. I have made the project available on github
https://github.com/sunnygoyal/PowerToggles
Little description of the app:
An advanced power control widget. FREE and No ads
Contains 40+ toggles including
Wifi
Mobile Data (3G/4G)
Bluetooth (toggle, discovery and tether),
Flashlight
Custom application shortcut
Custom system shortcuts
And many more...
Many customization options like changing color theme and icons for individual toggles.
For creating a Tasker toggle, refer http://powertoggles.com/tasker/

FAQ: http://powertoggles.com/help/
Backup and share widget settings from the widget configure screen (Menu > Import / Export) as well as various themes for multi-icon toggles and battery toggle.
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Thanks for all your hard work in past years. Hopefully development will continue.
use it for years,its the best in its section and runs perfect for me,big thx for this.i hope all devs makes it great too and not crapapps since its open.
Use it for years, too, guess tried ALL similar apps, available on the market - but this one is the best!!!
Too bad I'm not a developer to fix few small issues and make it even better
Developers! Don't pass by!! Stop and pay attention. It's a real gem!!!
Thanks for your work, Sunny, and sorry you give it up...
Awesome Tool!
Reboot to Recovery is not working on my Device, even though its rooted. ROM manager "reboot to recovery" works.
Would appreciate help with this problem.
Really hoping this keeps getting updated, have been using Power Toggles for years and it seems some functions aren't working properly in Android M and N:
(1) Screen lock toggle locks phone but prevents fingerprint unlock, must use PIN instead - https://github.com/sunnygoyal/PowerToggles/issues/6
(2) Quick settings broadcast tiles no longer works in Android N - https://github.com/sunnygoyal/PowerToggles/issues/4
Hi everybody,
it is really a petty that there is no amigious developer, who likes to continue the work on power toogles.
Is there anybody out there to make power toggle ready for android n? Please I really do not wanna life without this app.
Hope dies last. Best Regards Roland
Sorry not to be a developer to keep your work...
I use power toggles in my devices and all my family ones as well. And from kit kat to nougat!
Good luck to you, and hope someone fosters it!
Now having tasted what it's like to have various app supporting quick setting tiles, I really wish this app was still under development. It would be fascinating to be "officially" able to edit and add whatever toggles I want to the quick settings through Power Toggles. If only Power Toggles is still alive!
I wish I would have learned the programming to enable the further development of this software.
Power Toggles is still in my top 5 app list. Titanium Backup, USB Audio Player PRO, Sound About, and Magisk round it out.
Seriously, I'm dumbfounded that someone or a company hasn't picked this up.
Would love to have a night mode toggle if this ever gets updated again.
It's a pity nobody continues to develop this application. I use it since a few years and it's very convenient but I lost functionalities every time I upgrade Androïd.
This app has vanished from Playstore, why?
Might not be compatible with your version of Android. It didn't show up for me after I installed Oreo. I just downloaded it from APK Mirror.
No, I downloaded it before, with the same phone-same firmware-same account.. it just vanished.
But I got it anyway from ApkMirrror :good:
P.s
I tried spoofing with Fdroid's Yalp Store, it is definitely vanished. So sad.
I've red Google removes applications which have no updates since a few years.
it could have been removed due to policy enforced by Google ( using device admin access ) .
BTW, I've been thinking about supporting this with value adds ( I have an initial version called micro toggles with few added features ) - Of course, it will be open source.
May be based on interest I will consider releasing it.
I've been using Power Toggles for years and it's still better than Nougat and any other app I've tried, I'm sorry to see it go, but I do know Java and will be looking into contributing to the open source for bug fixes, cleanup, and possibly improved/new features. Don't get overly-ambitious! Keep it simple and effective, that's my motto.
