Does anyone actually use ChatOn? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why do Samsung continue to bundle this app? I've never heard of anyone using it, and I know lots of people with Samsung handsets, the servers and everything must be a drain on samsung's funds, why do they bloat out our phones with this?

No, useless.

nope

I agree that it's pretty useless and hardly anyone uses it. In fact, I don't know of one person who does, but it's pretty obvious that Samsung is developing its own ecosystem, perhaps as a backup or fail safe for the day if/when they part ways with Google's own ecosystem. They have counterparts for nearly every Google service, although right now, most of them suck.

My whatsapp got blocked, I have tried to move to chaton as an alternate, barely used it for 2 mins. Sucks big time.

Considered bloat
Never kept long enough

Sometimes WhatsApp servers... Fail... The Last saturday, for example the service had interrupted for a couple hours.
Hangouts was the solution for this time

i hear it's used so much, that even the NSA didnt bother tapping :laugh:

I wonder same thing if people rly use this app

ChatONs biggest advantage is probably that it isn't WhatsApp. :'D

I do use it as in Qatar many people use it.
I mainly use the LivePartner feature inside it though to keep myself updated.

I suppose Vanilla phone users kinda use it.
I signed on it for the hell of it, and found 3 people I knew that use it on their S3 or S4.
I promptly trashed the app once I rooted, though.

I received a firmware update and today I decided to play on the settings and saw a "turn off" button in the chat on app settings - is this new? I pressed that SOB

i use whatsapp as main chat app (bought 5 years subscription recently) but there is one thing that whatsapp doesn't support and it is gifs. so whenever i want to send a reaction gif to my bff i have to tell her to open chatOn on her s4 lol, besides gif support and full image quality (it doesn't try to make the files smaller, so images always reach their destination as you sent them, unlike whatsapp) chatOn has nothing good to offer and i use it only like 2-3 times a month
tho that still means it's at least a bit useful
haven't tried hangouts, don't know how image quality/gifs work (if they work at all)

Craigslist App

Someone should create a Craigslist application unless a free one already exists I don't know about? Lol.
and also a kijiji app
I think windows mobile is the only OS that doesn't have it. My friends have it on their Droids and iPhones.
I have been recently wondering. If an app has been created for droid and Iphones. how hard is it to make the exact same or similar app for us WM users?

It has to be built from the ground up for WM...android and iphones are based on the same core technology in terms of the OS, but WM is a completely different beast. That's why you'll usually see the android and iphone versions of a software title appear at almost the exact same time, and then rarely if ever a matching WM release

I'll write a much more touch-friendly CL app when I get a chance in a few weeks.

why do you need an app?
Seems like cl works just fine using the browser. I also have used the browser for google voice, gmail, etc... they all work fine (of course you have to do some zooming at times to select links).
The one thing I haven't found yet is a very good web based im client. I've played with ebuddy but am not sure if it's very good yet.

Any RSS reader can read Craigslist. Some RSS readers have alarms for keywords as well.

For the same reason that dedicated apps exist for Facebook and anything else-- a native app can offer a much easier and faster on-the-go experience. Craigslist is a pretty simple site, but it still requires lots of panning and zooming to use on a phone. A solid mobile client would take care of that.

Just wondered if you had the time to write a more "touch-friendly CL app" yet?
I would love to try it.
You could just save your local CL as a bookmark and attach it as a quicklink.
It helps if you add as a browser tab, and go into the site. This way the sites page is saved as a icon image. Then make it a quicklink.

I already answered this before but I'll say it again, you've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

How is babby formed ?

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.
Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

There are a few things I could have you try, if you were rooted. But since it seems you're not here are a couple of other things you can try.
Go to settings/storage. Click on cache data. Select ok to clear and restart your phone.

Also long press home, select task manager. Go to RAM tab, and clear memory.
Also, are you on the latest update? What browser are you using?
♢NoteIII♢
muchmovies.com movies lag streaming
Thank you for your advice I'm going to try that and yes my phone is updated with the latest software. What is strange is that it doesn't lag on YouTube it's just seems to be there. But it makes me mad because it's a great site to stream new movies and it works fine on my mom's iphone. I am using Google Chrome when I go to try it. Thanks keep up with ttrying to help the new guy.
I'm using the stock browser and it worked fine on the movie I tried. Great quality, quick loading.

Flashlight app isn't lighting up the physical camera flash? See if it requires root access to do so, and consider rooting. Rooting = admin access on your phone basically, good to have if you don't care about warranty

Samsung being sneaky?

So I got this strange update notification from the play store. I think since no one was accepting the security updates a while back they decided to sneak it into the play store. Are any of guys seeing this as well?

Yup, got this one as well. Definitely going to try my best not to fall for this one too. I'm assuming this is all related to KNOX which I never have wanted, do not want currently, and never will want in the future.
It honestly looks like they are trying to possibly patch something. Maybe a possible root exploit? Lol
Agreed, I seen similar posts mentioned in the Q & A section here and about people with Dev phones going ahead and taking the updates.
Personally, I will not accept any update regarding security, ect... period due to the comments listed. I don't trust Samsung or Verizon as they are obviously determined to block any attempt at achieving "root" on this device if that even becomes a reality.

At least they sort of explained what it was finally. It does look like a way to update blocks to root exploits.

Yeah, I got it to. I took it will no ill effect. The security updates that come through the Play Store will not effect an unlocked bootloader in the case of the Developer Edition Note 4s and will not cause a rooted phone to loose root. The Play Store update is only an update to the security app that comes stock on all Note 4s.

I don't have that one in the play store, though it comes up at least once a day through the phone.
So.. Anyone can confirm what this update do?
Questioned Samsung on Twitter and FB
When I questioned Samsung on this, I received two responses. The first that it was a third party app they don't support. The second was that they were looking into it. It has since disappeared from my list of updates.
I believe this is the service that gets updated. I have not been able to find it in the okay store either. Saw it once when it auto updated on me, not since.
I'm pretty sure it's the app itself that's getting the update. What would be considered sneaky is if they update the app and changed the policy so they can force a security update without you agreeing to it.

Twitter Social Media Campaign to Free the Bootloader

I propose we take this time to put some pressure on Samsung Mobile and Samsung Mobile US to Free the Bootloader for the Note 7. As faith in Samsung's products are waning do to multiple products having safety issues and new and old are losing perceptive value it may be time to put the social media pressure on them to unlock the Bootloader. I have started tweeting Samsung Mobile US with the attached.

THIS is what everyone should be doing. Petition for the bootloaders BEFORE the phone is released.
The only message you will ever get from Samsung on this device is power down and return.
Samsung should make it so we have no desire to root our phones or need custom roms. By this point they need to work on the audio. There should be no reason why an app like viper cant be made. Instead they give us constantly crappy audio and laggy phones.

Thing is there will always be a reason to root and a lot of those reasons aren't a function of how samsung does business but rather a function of how android is designed, one example being adblocking. Even with those ones that route through a VPN that don't require root, they pale in comparison to Ad away.

Not going to happen. Phone is officially a write off so your chances of them pushing update to disable phone more likely than lobbying against unlocking broader on a recalled device. Furthermore to have one unlocked will hurt their bottom line, they only listen to the green backs. They always complain for security reasons for what they do but funny part is that custom roms (CM etc) don't have those security (stagefright) issues cause they are identified and patched before the masses sees it. They just want more from everyone and will always label us as pirates and hackers to keep the sheeple in line.
