Hi guys! I'm Rina I'm new here, forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong area!
I have lollipop 5.0, Samsung Note 3, no root, 100% stock. -- As you know, you are forced to choose one- only default messing app, like- Gosms pro, or Textra. --Sms apps like: Viber or whatsup do not apply to this rule and I don't want to use those kinds of apps!
Is there anyway to get around this forced to choose one default app in 5.0? I remember when I had jellybean, you did not have this problem and it worked just fine and never asked you to choose a default sms app!
Please let me know a simple way to make this happen (if possible), I'm really new at all this! I am willing to root my note 3 or whatever it takes to make this work!
I don't understand why google did this, it worked just fine in Jellybean!
Thank you in advance! :good:
No one knows, please help!
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, help!

Version 1.5.1 now available. It seems to be the same as version 1.5 that came out a couple of weeks back, except this version doesn't revert back to version 1 when you restart the phone - so a pretty fundamental improvement there.
thx for the news .. i'm happy i didnt got that prob from the begining
Oh yeah. Thanks for the news. Why did convert in the first place?
GT-I9000
Got it... But no changes since version 1.5 at all ?

Mine was downloaded when I updated to JM1, I didn't have to do anything, it was just there.

Hi guys,
This is the apk for Task Manager 1.5.1. Fetched this from Samsung apps on JM8. Hope this helps!
How come it says application not installed when I try to install it?

Apologies guys, was stupid enough to upload the wrong apk! Updated my initial post with the correct one. Try it and let me know if it works better... well at least it won't be worse
wtf permissions?
I was going to install the 1.5.1 release from the Samsung app store, but finally held back: The permissions it's asking for are not quite to my liking.
This app requires each and every permission there is, e.g. change UI settings, send SMS and MMS, make telephone calls, read emails, change APN settings, change global system settings...
Did all of you ignore this, or were you shown other permission requests?

Noticed that as well, but it's the first update I installed for the Task Manager. I assumed it already had those permissions, and decided to trust Samsung. Some might argue it's not such a good idea
There are more apps in the Samsung store that require odd permissions and I just called Samsung Mobile Germany to ask the supporters why this is.
Not that I expected anything else, but what I was told is just wrong.
I was told the following:
- These applications are from Google (i.e. programmed by Google)
- These permissions are set in Google accounts
- this is no risk as the applications for 100% sure won't make calls or send SMS / MMS
This is so poor as a support answer... And a really poor programming style as well, 'cause it contradicts the idea that programmers should only require those permissions in their manifest that are acually needed.
Not gonna install that crap anyway. What if Samsungs servers are hacked and distributing modified versions of these applications? They're not gonna pay my excessive cellphone bill, should this be true, aren't they?

Hi all
Apologies if this has already been asked but I couldn't find anything. I just got my G2 last week and have discovered today that the Voicemate app is missing? Or at least I can't find it...
Any ideas? It's a UK model on EE network.
Another question if I may, the quick access menu that you get to by holding your finger on the home key then sliding up (where voicemate is supposed to be) Is there anyway of changing which apps are accessible here.
Thanks a lot, any help appreciated.
Is there nobody with the same issue? Getting worried here...

Don't think that Voice Mate should be on that menu on D802? Don't you find it if you search for apps in the phone either? Note the space in the name if you search...
Don't have time to try right now, but I think this app is what you are looking for to change the menu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamicg.homebuttonlauncher

It was more a curiosity thing, I can't believe that I'm the only one with this missing so wanted to see if there were others... Who knows what else is missing... :laugh:
I suppose I can live without it until such time as I root.

Hi, Can't seem to find an answer on this, when I go to setting in magazine ux, say as an example on the news widget, I click the three dots to customize the widget, it just spins and spins, no options to select which news I would like to add. Anyone else have this problem? It happens with all widgets, news, sports etc.
thanks

I haven't experienced that issue. Mine works fine. As crazy at it seems, have you tried "Restarting" your tablet? It's worth a try.

Yup, multiple times. I can scroll threw the news stories straight from the widget, but soon as I click the three dots, a white side window opens, but nothing populates, it just spins. I tried it on a second device at work and it was the same thing.

Same problem here. New out of the box, no root. I've tried factory reset, deleting all widgets and re-adding them, restarting flipboard, etc. This drives me nuts!
Ok so the changing language thing works and the options now display; in spanish, or whatever language I select other than english! It works in ever language but english! Why is this and any ideas? thanks

it seems that we're going to have to wait for a fix from samsung, hopefully they are aware of the issue
I've been talking to Flipboard support to see if there is anything they can do. I'll post if I find anything new. So far they have just told me to reset everything, etc.
Frustrating!
I also have the same problem straight out of the box. So I sent it back and this is the third device I have received with the same problem. I contacted Samsung and they said there is nothing they could do need to send it back for repair and it would take two weeks. I'm thinking it's a software issue maybe with flipboard app, I got a flipboard error at some point. Hope to see fixed with patch or update. Don't want to send a brand new tablet back for repair with a two week turnaround.
Also on another note when I called Samsung for an issue with the back just below the camera there was a hump they told me that the tablet I had purchase from Best Buy was not a valid SN and that the tablet had no warranty. After that I mad it a point to verify my SN with Samsung to make sure I was covered by the 1 year warranty.
Also change language to Spanish and it works but not in English
Hey all!
I was wondering if I'm the only one that's facing this problem. I've been Googling and searching for a solution to my problem and have yet found a solution to my problem. So, I've been trying to set up my Samsung Keyboard to type more than 1 language but it doesn't work that way. I've selected English and Mandarin Chinese as my input language and when I return to the typing screen, I can't even switch language. My phone is the international LTE model, SM-N9005 and I've no idea why I can't even type in Mandarin Chinese since there are many Chinese in my country (I'm from Malaysia). So, is there anyone out there that could help me out with it? I've been calling Samsung Support center and they're literally hopeless and not helping at all. The customer service here doesn't has any clue on how to help me and they couldn't even understand those technical terms. So, you could say that I'm pretty much frustrated with them. If any of you saw the solution for this from another thread, please kindly provide me the link so I could solve this hell of a problem. Thank you so much in advance.

I have to turn on and off the assessibility settings. Because, mine settings are all off by default. And, somehow, it affects the keyboard in a weird way. Does the people in Samsung know about this?

Hi guys I'm facing the same problem .... any solution ??
Hi.
I don't know if I'm in the right place because I'm in canada and have the 900w8 (with Wind/Freedom) but anyway, just bought my Note 3 recently and I see no Mobile Data shortcut on the Notification panel and it seems this was a common problem after some update and I couldn't find any fixes for this. Also, the phone has Android version 5, which I know isn't the latest version but looks like there will be no updates for us.
So, any way I can get the Data shortcut, or maybe the android 6 version? My phone is stock everything.
Thanks.

I am surprised that it does not show
I found a screenshot of Lollipop and it does show the mobile data shortcut.
Best I can tell you is to flash with Odin stock 5.0, but other than that, I do not know how you could fix it. Or just root it and try a custom ROM if that is something so important to you.
Thanks again for the reply and the suggestions, man. Yeah I don't know why this is happening with the Note 3s but like I said this was a common problem after some update. I've never rooted or flashed any phone and I don't know if I want to do this. So, looks like I have to live with this inconvenience. It also looks like I won't be able to swipe down to access shortcuts unless I unlock the screen. On my Moto E (Android 6) I'm able to do that without having to unlock the screen. That's another inconvenience.

Is that the case? I am not on stock anymore, but I think I remember it was possible if I just had the lockscreen to "swipe".
But then again, it could be a difference between Android 5 and 6
Flashing is an intimidating task and requires a lot of research but not as much as you may think.
Anyway, I'm not going to grind on that suggestion. Best I can tell you now is, enjoy your Note 3 experience
