I can report that the first time I opened the camera a message toast popped up saying updating camera firmware :thumbup:
So far so good, my s4 is snappy snappy snappy. Keyboard was laggy but no more :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Any other things you can tell that updated besides the camera?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

Other than performance improvements there is only seams some minor settings entries changes. Oh the about devices has different color icon
Camera app is the same.
I guess as this update is only a maintenance update it stands to reason that theres no major gui changes, it's all under the hood, like a grease and oil change.
I'd say performance is really good now, I have not noticed any lag so far.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Only really a performance improvement update it seems, plus the ability to use the SD card for pics and (some) apps now. Telstra still haven't got their act together and released their update, so I'm on the XSA unbranded version now, no more carrier crap.
Sammobile.com is a good place to look for recent firmwares. You can also check your specific model and region to see waht the most recent firmware is.

Okay new things I've found.
1. In "my device" settings, new drive mode settings (previously hidden). However when drive mode is enabled no more icon in notifications bar.
2. Applications manager, new listing for apps on sdcard.
That's all for now.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Listing some noticeable performance improvements here.
1. Message app opens nice and quick now (2000 msgs)used to lag and slow to open.
2. Contacts list scrolls really smooth, I've only go 71 contacts (however I've got my contacts saved in 2 accounts Google & device so there's actually 142), but used to have scroll lag.
3. Keyboard lag is now gone, using back space used to lag bad so first time I used it to delete text got a surprise. Typing is good too when you press a letter it gets put on the screen.
4. Pressing home key is quick and responsive now (S-voice is completely disabled).

I think it is number of changes Samsung have applied. They don't release any changelist, just number.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Is there such a page for US Cellular?

higher changelist number means newer firmware revision. That´s all what we get from Samsung...

This is without a doubt the best stock rom i tried to date ! it offers great performance just absolutely no noticeable lagg and it provides a good battery life , best Rom to date Imo !

Its not a fake app. The one on the play store is fake.
Firstly check your internet connection that it is working properly. Secondly when you enter the app , it automatically takes you to bb website, press back key and you will get back in the app. If it again takes you to the website , press back and you will see a cross mark on the top right side, click it and you wont go back to the website.
I have been using it from the last night and have made 10 friends and joined 2 groups.
I personally feel its UI is much better than whatspp.
Check out the screenies.

Will it wrk on 2.3????

this unreleased version has already been disabled by Blackberry... so it won't work anymore..
this is also the reason why the official app's release will be delayed.... more info here..

App Ops on Kit Kat?

So, I tried to install the permission manager app from the play store for 4.3 and it didn't work, how can we manage app permissions on 4.4?

Google have blocked access to it in 4.4 so the built-in app is no longer available.
Coming from CM10.2 I was hoping to at least be able to use this with my N5, but alas it's not so .

Wait... They removed the feature that they just added to the last version? Or they removed the old method of enabling it?

I believe they blocked the APIs used by the permissions editor which is why it crashes - but I'm struggling to find the reference I read that had this info.......

afaik they removed it completely. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47098228&postcount=2
One of the best features ever introduced to android and they remove it. Might even downgrade my N7 because of this.

I downgraded my N4 back to 4.3. Disabling app ops is terrible. Even apple has this feature: iOS alerts you if any app wants to access your contacts, or your photos, or your camera, and you have a choice to allow or not. Android 4.3 does not alert you, but at least you have the option to dig into the App Ops and revoke access to certain things. 4.4 is the first time an android upgrade dissapointed me (they destroyed the alarm app, the keyboard, the wifi indicator's activity/internet access, and App Ops).

App ops was never an official feature, so they technically didn't remove anything.

I'm with you on the users defending Google like the can do no wrong, but definitely disagree about the YouTube g+ integration... They needed to clean YouTube up, and now I can see friend's comments on videos more easily and only view the comments and responses of certain people... That was a good idea..
I think Google is completely wrong by blocking this app ops function, if that's what happened here...

Does anyone know where these preferences are stored? I'm mainly concerned with whether or not changing the options will affect an OTA update. If nothing is altered in the system files I'm sure we're good to go.

[Q] Facebook photo upload does not work

I'm trying to upload pictures on facebook but am running into an issue saying "facebook upload failed". It doesnt give any indication of what the issue is, however uploading through the website from chrome works fine. Attached are screenshots of the issue. The issue happens instantaneously as soon as i hit "post"
I've tried uploading from the gallery by hitting "share" and also from the photos app as well as straight from the facebook app. I am running on ART, and while I haven't tested it on dalvik, my friend with a nexus 4 on 4.4 kitkat on ART is uploading facebook photos just fine on the latest version of the facebook app.
Before anyone suggests it, I've tried:
-reinstalling the facebook app
-clearing data/cache from the facebook app
-re-adding my account
-tried uploading pictures from camera, pictures downloaded from the internet, and screenshots
-restoring the whole system (tried it before and after unlocking bootloader which wiped out everything)
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I am having the EXACT same issue on my Moto X, stock, running 4.4 on ART. It's maddening.
I've done everything you've done and more. I've tried the beta and the alpha apks and nothing. This is driving me nuts, but I'm glad I'm not alone. Will be subscribing to this thread and will update if I find a fix.

Mine worked fine on ART for days. I'm going to switch back and see what's up now. If it works, I bet it goes bad after a couple days again. I actually sent a bug report to FB. We'll see of they follow up.

Seems that the Newest Facebook App update (4.0.0.3.3) has broken the ability to upload photos while on ART Runtime. I switched back to Dalvik to confirm and was able to upload photos. I am going back to version 3.9 (if i can find the apk) where photo uploads still work while on ART

Make sure you disable auto-update first
They will update it the second you push the apk.

ART is supported everywhere, it just has a cautionary note before enabling it that it may not play nice with some apps.
Be sure to unlock your bootloader before you do anything.

If there is one thing i have never noticed on the OPO is lag. In none of the updates... but ok.
The only thing that tends to lag sometimes is the gallery for some reason.
