I was looking at an AT&T Galaxy Note 3 last night as someone was asking some tricks to it. I told them if you turn off your mobile data thru the notification panel you can save a lot of battery loss, so i showed them how quickly they can do that on the S4. I looked at their Galaxy Note 3 and that MOBILE DATA toggle was missing from the page of icons for the Notification Panel.
This is a big one for me before i upgrade to AT&T's latest. I suppose no one knows now if we will see the same icon missing at this time. Just a heads up.

Some people said on the leak that they didn't have it, others said they had it but it wasn't set to show by default.

Ah OK
As I said, I dont think screenshot is from the North American version; International Note 3 has the toggle
Im gonna wait before updating to 4.3 anyway, it would be pretty stupid to remove it, makes no sense
I have tried two different ROMs based on leaks of MJ6 and both were missing the data toggle. I haven't tried any of the MJ5 versions.

I think saving battery by turning off mobile data will be an individual thing. I ran into issues on my previous Android phone by being too aggressive disabling mobile data with Juice Defender. I discovered that MMS was disabled unless mobile data was turned on, so if you do MMS, remembering to re-enable mobile data could be an inconvenience. And depending on the strength of the mobile data signal, your phone's radio may use more or less power to maintain the connection.
I find I have no battery issues just leaving most everything enabled on my GS4 (data, wifi, gps, gestures, etc.) I don't use many of the smart features, so I switch those off as well as nfc, sbeam and bluetooth.

That is always an option on all android phones. The phone you were looking at just had the icon hidden. In the notifications panel there is a way to select which icons are shown.

I think what he is saying is that it looks like ATT may have had it removed. It is not in the 4.3 ATT leaked firmware for the i747 either, and NO option to choose it. So HOPEFULLY it is just due to a leak and not the full OFFICIAL firmware from ATT. Below are the ONLY choices to choose from on the S3 i747 leak. I have already tried the RESET and it is still not there. So it MAY be something ATT is taking out

Wonder what that reading mode does?
My mobile data button also went missing after the 4.3 update. Be that as it may, I wonder what world you guys live in that find a benefit to turning off mobile data? I find no benefit to doing that. Sure can't send MMS if MD is off. And I have yet to have any battery issues that would make me look for ways to stretch my battery life. OEM battery, stock ROM, Nova Prime launcher.

Reading mode changes the white to a more yellow color on apps it's enabled on when the toggle is turned on...you have to go to setting and select apps it effects.
As for the benefit...I like to use it when I'm running low on data...I have a 3gb plan but sadly that's not enough, I often get down to 100 mbs left so turning off data prevents background tasks from using up the last of my data...the main reason I eat up si much data is cause let is faster than any wifi I've ever been connected to...so more often than not I use lte instead of wifi

That, I can understand. But I was under the impression people were turning off data to save battery life, which doesn't make any sense to me (in my world).
I use my MD button to limit my data usage , not to save battery. .. I use that button more than Reading mode.

How to turn data on/off
Good news is that even with the mobile data button gone from the notification panel, it is still possible to turn the mobile data on/off.
To enable/disable mobile data:
1) Click the gear (Settings)
2) Click "Data Usage"
3) Check/uncheck "Mobile data" box.
Clearly, AT&T wants us to use more data and pay them overage fees or upgrade to a more expensive data plan. That's a pretty cheap trick. With AT&T now offering lower monthly fees when you bring your own phone, my next phone will run stock Android.

There are a lot of battery saving/enhancing apps/tips/tricks out there. Lets get them all together and see how well our batteries perform with every little trick that we have...post em up below and I will update this post with all of them in an organized fashion.
A key to actually noticing and benefiting from enhanced battery is that you cant be messing with your phone constantly to see if anything has changed, must try to maintain normal usage!!!
1. In Phone dial *#*#4636#*#* | Phone information, error popup may appear that is okay, if your preferred network type is GSM auto (PRL) change it to CDMA auto (PRL).
2. In Sound & Display Menu, Uncheck 'Orientation' if unnecessary.
3. In Sound & Display Menu, Uncheck 'Haptic feedback' if unnecessary.
4. In Sound & Display Menu | Brightness, Uncheck 'Auto-brightness" if unnecessary.
5. In Sound & Display Menu | Animation, Set to 'No animations' if unnecessary.
6. In Accounts & sync Menu, Uncheck 'Auto-Sync' and 'Background data' if unnecessary.
7. In Accounts & sync Menu | Facebook for HTC Sense | Account settings, Set to 'Once a day' if unnecessary.
8. In Wireless & networks Menu, Uncheck Wi-Fi and Bluetooth if unnecessary.
9. In Wireless & networks Menu | Wi-Fi settings | Menu | Advanced | Wi-Fi sleep policy, Set to 'Never'.
10. In Wireless & networks Menu | Mobile Networks, Uncheck 'Enable always-on mobile data' if unnecessary.
11. In Language & keyboard Menu | Text Input, Uncheck 'Vibrate when typing' if unnecessary.
12. Download Autostarts, check out the help tab in the app to learn how to effectively use.
13. Download SetCPU [HTC EVO beta], check out the help tab in the app to learn how to effectively use.
14. Download Systempanel, check out the help tab in the app to learn how to effectively use.
15. Download Juice Defender, check out the help tab in the app to learn how to effectively use.
16. People widget consumes a great deal of CPU remove it if unnecessary.
17. Don't use LiveWallpapers if unnecessary.
18. Make sure Gtalk is not automatically signing in if unnecessary.
19. Remove HTC LockScreen and HTC sense, Use LauncherPro2 or or AWDLauncher
20. Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more, Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour, Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour.
You could sum up your list by just saying... TURN OFF EVERYTHING THAT MAKES THIS DEVICE COOL!
Yeah really, I can see it now...
One of you competitive types, goes head to head with an iPhone user:
EVO user: "Oh yeah? My EVO is better than your iPhone!"
iPhone user: "Prove it!"
EVO user: "I will, but you'll have to wait just a minute, I have to turn everything on... then I can only show you for a second or two because otherwise I will use too much of my precious battery, and I'll have to plug in a little earlier tonight than usual."
hmm, welcome fellas....these are suggestions that can be used in different combination as seen fit by the user...you guys are brilliant.
Because unlike you two who probably post up in front of a TV being worthless all day with your phone plugged in, others are out being productive unable to leave their phones plugged-in in their parents living room!!

Thin-skinned? It's called sarcasm with a hint of jocularity, look it up. And for the record, I haven't lived in my parents' house in 17 years, am an Air Force vet of 14 years, family man with a wife and 2 children, own my own house, and am currently employed as an IT Manager with a six figure salary. So with that in mind, kindly shove your attitude back up your a$$.
Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention, I get a full day's use from 6am-1030ish pm from my EVO, using it regularly as an IT manager would. (i.e. exchange e-mail constantly syncing, RDP, phone calls, etc.)

But seriously, you can take measures to help battery life without crippling your experience. You don't have to do everything, you don't have to do anything. I See what the OP was getting at, all over I see people asking about battery life. You don't have to shut everything down, considering some stuff helps more than others. Some **** isn't even worth turning off.

I will also be leaving 4G off until I need it...say for video. I am perfectly fine with manually turning it on an off. 3G is dang good for getting emails and most web browsing. I'll be using 4g almost as turbo for now until I figure this machine out.

Yeah and if you put all those quick switches on one of the home screens (like BT, WiFi, 4G, Mobile Network, HotSpot or even Airplane mode) it makes it even easier to flip 4G on/off as well as the other options.

I use a brightness level widget and have the screen set at 25% and now the display is only 9% of battery use. That is bright enough for indoor use. When I had the screen set at 75% brightness, it was using most of the juice.

I don't recommend SetCPU or OC Widget unless you plan to underclock 100% of the time, since the EVO underclocks automatically. You can observe this in SystemPanel.

Now that XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware is available for our cameras it would be interesting to see what changes it brings. As usual it's a hunt and track down for changes to upgrades but maybe we can compile a list?
So far I noticed there is now 4 new scenes in SMART mode...
"FOOD" - Take pictures that emphasise the vivid colours of food
"DAWN" - Take pictures that emphasise the dawn sky by making the blue more intense
"SNOW" - Take pictures that emphasise the brightness of snow by making the white more intense
"PARTY/INDOOR" -Take pictures of parties or other indoor activities without blurring
Also:
You can set an option to not automatically fire up the camera when you power on - very pleased by this one!
An icon has appeared on the notification bar - a battery with a recycle sign - to tell you that you have enabled 'Smart Network' mode (turns off network functions when screen is off)
Updated versions of Samsung built in apps naturally
Still looking...
Sadly the storage card dialog still pops up on a cold boot
Remote Viewfinder still not working

Check in settings-about device-Status If "Device Status" says "Custom" then you will not receive OTA updates. Mine says "Custom" as I rooted with odin. I don't know if Exynos Abuse changes the device status.

I've just tried to, straight after flashing "without wipe" and the Exynoss Exploit APK from Chainfire fails to Root, but I'm going to do a wipe and see if it's a problem with some residual files or something.
Update:
With ExynosAbuse 1.40, although it detects the device as Exploitable, it's unable to Root the device.
Can't root with Exynos Abuse 1.40... But Auto-Root is working fine !
Could you check amount of ram ? I have now 755mb, and before i remember (or i'm drunk) that i had 768mb
Strange...
I downloaded from Samfirmware and installed through ODIN although I lost root I was able to re-root successfully again using chainfire's method.

there are a few other settings in smart mode which are snow, home party or something, there is also a weather app that has been installed
There's a setting in the settings menu called power that I didn't notice before, that allows you to choose when the device shuts itself down. Another thing I've found is that you don't have to keep enabling voice control in the camera app every time you close and open it now.
And just the general responsiveness seems better in the camera app too.

Yeah, the value you have when you long press home (Samsung task killer).
In 4.1.1 it seems to me that i had 768 instead of 755.
After Odin update, i also had another 'camera update' during few minutes, on the 1st boot (specific to Galaxy Camera ?)

I've currently set the camera up with a lockscreen so it doesn't extend the lens when I hit the power button, but also, if the last thing the camera had open was the home screen, it opens back up in the home screen when I unlock the device.

Is there any way to turn off or disable all WiFi network notifications? I'm constantly clearing things about available open networks, and also when I connect to WiFi.
The only option I found is in the WiFi settings as "Notify Me - Tell me if Wi-Fi is available when I open an app", which I've turned off.

Which version do you have? On the Verizon version unchecking wifi notifications in settings doesn't get rid of the notification. It only gets rid of an extra irritating popup every time you open an app.
The only way I've found to get rid of the notification is to leave wifi turned off. Not sure if that's what Verizon intended to encourage me to do, but since I'm on unlimited data I'm guessing probably not. I won't feel too bad about staying off of wifi and eating up their data until they fix it though. There's no excuse for cluttering up the notification area with constant notifications about nothing, with no way to disable them.
edit - Oh I see. You have AT&T and they're more sensible about it than Verizon.
So, no answer to this on the Verizon phone?? I am hoping a custom ROM will fix this annoying issue. Yes, Verizon, I know I am connected to my wireless network. That thing drives me crazy!! As noted above I have also been leaving my wifi off and just using my Unlimited data. Max to date is 23 Gig in a month!! Eat it VZW!!

Is there any way to turn off or disable all WiFi network notifications? I'm constantly clearing things about available open networks, and also when I connect to WiFi.
The only option I found is in the WiFi settings as "Notify Me - Tell me if Wi-Fi is available when I open an app", which I've turned off.

Obviously you don't have a LG G2 on Verizon :good:

Yes, but it DOES NOT disable the network notifications -apps unless Wi-Fi itself is off. Long standing issue with Verizon.

what about moding we have root here change software .. come oon guys .. is it so hard ? this is xda with so many options .. get custom rom then jeezz or just root and check build.prop editor
No one's offered an alternative through modding as far as I've seen. How about this, if it's not that hard, YOU fix it and hand over the mod. Not everyone wants a custom ROM with how well stock runs. They never work 100%. So give up IR (ect) for no Wi-Fi notification bug? No thank you. If it was easy as build.prop, would be done. Stop talking out of your ass batterystats.bin guy.

After being annoyed for months I finally got serious about finding a solution. It's actually really easy.
1) Be rooted
2) Install Notifications Off from Play Store (free)
3) Open Notifications Off, scroll down to LGSystemServer, and uncheck it
4) Save
VS980 wifi notifications gone!
Does that kill any other notifications or just the WIFI BS message? Thanks for the find.

sorry, if this has been brought up, I searched, but didn't find any threads.
Anyways, I would say about 40-50% of the time when I press the Home button, I get this popup

and after I press "TouchWiz Home" I'd hit "Always" and then I get this:
this constantly popups up... well.. again, maybe every other time I hit the Home button... it's quite annoying... can any advice me what do to?
thanks in advance for any tips/advice

Not a dumb question at all, Push and hold the home button, select the little globe in the bottom left, once you go thru to the next screen, scroll accross to CLEAR DEFAULTS and choose Touch Wiz and hit clear, exit out then try setting TW again and pressing Always.

okay, so I'm there, but I don't see TW to clear
When you press the home button the TW asks you to set Just once/ Always yes? -- if you choose always it should store it in there as a default. -
OK, try settings > general > application manager > choose ALL then scroll down to TW - choose TouchWiz Home - It should show 850KB or so in size, If not clear cache then clear data, hit force stop, reboot your phone and see if it stores the data this time.

Ok for some bizarre reason it isn't storing local data, I'm at a bit of a loss.
What Model number do you have? and what firmware are you running? - rooted also? any mods installed recently or other launchers?
when you went to cache, did it show 850kb or so in the app itself? as if it was storing the data at all?
You could try a factory reset. I know it isn't ideal and it bugs me when I have had to do one previously. It may fix it. 9 out of 10 times it does.
EDIT: I'm at work so my replies may be a little sporadic or so, but I'll be around to help.

okay, so I ended up just doing a factory reset... and in the process... there was a system update. I have a feeling when I got the phone at the store, I was flying through the setup process and skipped it. As of right now, it looks like it's working fine :fingers-crossed:
thanks again for all your help... I'm going to pass this along because apparently I wasn't the only one with this issue
Ahh cool, least you got sorted, No problem man. Enjoy the phone

okay... so I wanted to post an update. Truthfully, the issue started up AGAIN! I was sooooo annoyed, I didn't want to post because I figured it was frustrating others reading my issue. Apparently, I wasn't the only person having this issue. I did some search and came across a thread over at Android Central...
here's the thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...lete-action-using-touchwiz-easy-home-huh.html
anyways, the trick is to uninstall the latest version of Google Search update. JUST TO CLARIFY, this does NOT mean you're actually uninstalling Google Search (because, I mean... there's no way I'd ever use Bing or Yahoo search :laugh: )
You go to your Google Play Store, search "Google Search" and the app will come up... it's already installed so you'll get the options of "Open" or "Uninstall".... You click on "Uninstall" and ONLY the latest version of Google Search will be uninstalled... Google Now, Google Search WILL still be there... But this issue will be gone
So, needless to say, the latest version of Google Search has some kind of bug with TouchWiz or whatever.
Hope this help others in the future
Yes im having this issue too and reverting back to the older version is the solution. This phone has given me many bugs. Totally aint worth the money.

I had this problem and then removed the updates. However, I now see a new update for Google Search dated January 9, 2014. Has anyone tried this update to see if the problem persists?
Maybe tonight I will give it a go.
Thanks
No more touchwiz problem
:good: After upgrading Google Search to the January 9, 2014 yesterday, I have had no more problems with Touchwiz Home stopping notice. It has been about 24 hours since I updated it.
I guess Google resolved the bug.
I'm facing this issue after update to kitkat. I can't uninstall google search update as the version installed in the rom is the last one. Pop up is very boring What can I do ?

Thanks for the help on the pie controls! I really appreciate it, it's just something I never really used on the Nexus, nor used the LMT itself. But without a pure AOSP build, I feel it needs tweaked a bit to get back to a little more familiar grounds. (No Nexus 5 on Verizon .. grrr)
I think I was getting myself confused a bit thinking those tweaks could give me our 3 normal softkeys to replace my physical and capacitive ones. I know it was possible on the Note 2 from reading but it didn't seem to happen without a bit of troubles. Either way, I am rooted now and have removed some of the bloat apps. I am now considering going back into the custom realm on ROMS.
Thanks for the tips!
Im trying to map a shortcut for screenshots but so far none of them have worked.

maybe i can just find an app and map that.
Nevermind updated to the newest build and screenshot is an option.
Is the default input device #4 the best for N3?
I replaced 1 pie button and the other defaults went missing, any way around that, I would like to replace them one at a time?
When blacklisting apps I have to scroll through ~400 app list to remove non ui sys services then select one at a time, is the list a file somewhere that can be edited by other means?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'default input device'. As you set up PIE you can customize the number of tiles (up to 5) and have up to 2 levels of tiles, for a total of 10 possible shortcuts. The first level is set by default to be Android navigation buttons (soft buttons), 'back', 'home', 'menu', 'search', 'multitasking'.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If these defaults have gone missing, or there are less than 5, PIE will reduce the number of 'buttons' that show up when activated, i.e. graphic UI will be adjusted
I could reduce each level of PIE down to 1 'button' if I choose.
Now that I'm thinking in this context, I'm guessing that is what you mean by "default input devices". If I am reading you right, you can set up to 5 and there will be no issue for the Note 3, likewise say that you only wanted three 'buttons' or 'input devices" (Home, Back, Menu) that wouldn't be a problem either. PIE will adjust the Graphic UI to match your settings, there won't be 5 'buttons' on screen if you only set 3 of them. I hope I'm being clear?

Honestly I don't blacklist any apps from from PIE
Can I ask why you want to Blacklist an application? Once I set the apps I want in my PIE I don't worry about the other apps I have installed on my device. I set those to be my most used apps, for the particular device om setting up. For instance, my Note 3 2nd level PIE app shortcuts are these
I have them set, and if I need to change them I just sift through the apps and replace them (I agree it does take some time to load, but once you have it set as you launch PIE it is seamless). I guess I don't understand why you want to Blacklist an application, when you only need to set the ones you want to have appear on the PIE launcher. Not that you need to validate your reasons to me, unfortunately I don't use this feature myself so I don't think I can be very helpful about this. Hopefully someone else might be able to lend some advice.
Let me know if I was on target about your question on setting the 'buttons' up.

Input device below, default is #4:
The reason I asked is the only pie position that works is bottom center, at first the default right worked but once I changed it, I can't put it back and have it work.
I guess the button setup as you described isn't so bad.

Oh, gotcha. Gesture input is a different set of features in LMT and not invloved with the the operation of PIE. This allows you to set actions that will launch when you complete a gesture.
Much like PIE once you select one of these options it will take you to the list where you can select the action to be completed.
You don't need to set any of this up in order to use PIE, The default for all gestures is 'None'.

You were right, I am using pie all the time now. It really shines for multi task where you can switch from one app to another directly, without going through recent first. Thanks for the turn on!

LMT/PIE is really cool and I just wanted to drop in to let you guys know about an app that's very similar called Switchr
He recently implemented an "Arc" style that's just like PIE, and which one you choose to use is just preference IMO
Big difference is the "Live switching" just imagine using PIE but as you swipe over your overlay icons, the foreground app changes instantly vs PIE where you have to release your finger to trigger the switching
To clarify, By blacklisting an app in LMT/Pie you aren't saying don't show up in the choices of apps. You are telling pie controls to not work or appear when using certain apps. So if i didn't want it to appear in Internet so I can still use its pie controls, I could black list Internet.
I don't use the feature but some people do. I never use ISA or gestures. But have been using pie since beans in the s3. Had it in my note 3 a day after the first root exploit came out after launch. So Worth it
