I have a few questions, not necessarily specific to the note 3 but i just bought one and this android 4.3 is very new to me, so here they go.
1. When i pair another smartphone via bluetooth, is there any way to make devices "trusted devices" such that when they attempt to send me files, they will be accepted automatically without prompt? (like on symbian)
2. When i open the camera app, the screen brightness jumps to 100% regardless of the brightness setting. Is there a way to disable this?
3. Back on my last phone (4.0.4) the built in browser synced my bookmarks with chrome. Where has this feature gone?
4. A site which i occasionally use has a flash based photo upload section. I've tried Dolphin browser, Chrome, Default browser, none worked, neither when i installed flash 11 manually. The site works perfect on my last phone.
Thanks for the answers/help in advance.

Hi, I've owned this phone for a couple of weeks now and though id give it a good test and check forum answers for as much as I could before asking but still have a few questions
1. Whenever I get a text or email, even if i have read it on the quickview (first screen) it will remain as unread until i click on it and bring up the reply screen (messages) or the full inbox view (emails) can they be registered as "read" automatically without doing the above?
2. Is the endless pursuit of Flash player actually worth the effort, I've had opera 9.5, 9.7, 10 including flash lite 3, used the fixoperaflash application following word for word and still dont get flash on websites. My latest try is 9.7 and fixoperaflash and I am yet to see a working flash video. Only difference is when I go to you tube now and click on the video it loads the inbuilt youtube app and somehow forgets what video I was wanting to look at, also the "bookmarks" button has screwed up now and takes me onto the net where it crashes and wont allow exit.
3. Can I deny networks, sometimes It will come up with a list of networks im not interested in seeing or it trying to connect to eg. I have two open networks at work, one works fine for wi-fi the other doesnt. Sometimes I catch it connected to the none working network and have to manually connect to the one I want
Answers to any of these questions would be much appreciated
Thanks

I am a great fans of Grooveshxxk (or Grxxveshark, since i'm not sure if i'm supposed to type other website address here), since it's never easy to carry all my music around
I found a way to trick the note 10.1 to keep running the flash content of the browser with other app on, so that i can stream the audio continuously while I read my pdf in ezpdf
as far as i know other android would not keep the browser flash content playing in the background, correct me if i'm wrong
first you have to open a browser
go to whatever streaming radio site u like
then try to make a multiscreen (but do not use any of the apps you planning to use full screen afterward)
then hit the home button
and then you will find out yr website are continuously streaming the audio content, and you can then open any app you like (but remember not to go back to the browser!)
I can reproduce this bug a couple of times, sometimes failing if your last touch on the multi-screen is the browser instead of its multi-screen counterpart.
just some nice tip to share!
What flash package did you use. I tried a few different ones and none of them worked for me.
Hello everybody!
I got Kitkat yesterday (NB4/NB1) for my N9005. I'm on stock, not rooted and didn't do a full wipe after installing.
Can anyone please confirm the following behaviour of the reading mode functionality, especially if you did do a full wipe.
1. Configure at least 2 apps, where one can open the other. In my case, I'm using Press and Internet Browser. But Internet and Adobe Reader or Gmail and Internet is also possible for example.
2. Open the app, that can call the other with reading mode turned on (Press, Gmail).
3. If using Press, choose an article and open in Internet Browser. If using Gmail and Internet, open a link to a website in an e-mail.
4. Is reading mode still visible? I mean, when you now turn off reading mode, can you see a difference?
In my case, the color always changes back to standard when switching apps. I always then have to disable/enable reading mode again. With 4.3/MJ7 reading mode worked flawlessly, now it's useless.
Thanks in advance!
I set up my fourth. yes fourth, V20 last week (the perils of buying used phones on ebay!) and all seems good. But I noticed a couple of days ago that whenever I try to download the page I'm viewing on chrome, it begins to download but then I get the message,
Download unsuccessful
Download is canceled The content is not valid to download
The pages get the tick in the notification bar and show up in the downloaded section, but when I click on them, there's nothing!
I've tried switching to data and have never had any issues with other phones doing this. I'm still on the stock ROM and not rooted. I'm in the UK and viewing UK sites, this is really odd. Does anyone have any suggestions as I caouldn't find anything when I searched online
This obviously isn't the place to ask for help with a Google app. Contact Google through email about their Chome app.
Would anyone have any (useful) suggestions regarding this? It's highly unlikely to be a chrome issue as I've never had problems on any other phones in similar situations (obviously I tried to contact them and went on their forums but I couldn't find anyone who'd experienced the same issue). I can't get the full UK keyboard due to some random geo lock on the H910, that's why I was wondering if anyone had any V20 specific suggestions?
I'd have happily moved to a Chromium based third party browser but I need the sync capability so that the bookmarks are also available on my desktop, so it's Chrome or Firefox as things stand (not really a fan of Opera).
As an aside - I've not found a solution to this and it's NOT limited to Chrome, it is the same when I run Brave, a Chromium browser. So the issue isn't purely Chrome.
It's a sizable pain in the posterior when travelling - it's great to be able to download a selection of web pages before setting off into areas with very patchy signal. I used to use Pocket, but I'd much rather know why I can't use the native function.
Color OS v.6
Been wrestling with some really infuriating problems with this phone since i bought it 4 months ago.
Default apps are ignored when clicking links via Chrome or Google search - if I select Waze as open by default for maps, and select DO NOT OPEN for Google maps, it will always open Google maps when I click a map or directions. If I select do not open for YouTube and either always open or always ask for newpipe or YouTube vanced, it will always open YouTube links in YouTube. It just completely ignores the settings
Opening via Firefox will work sort of, but for some reason FF have added a little 'open in app' button step so you have to load the web page for YouTube then select the android button for it to bring up the select app dialog, so it's rubbish and frankly a deal breaker. Also this doesn't work for directions, neither Maps or Waze are options for directions, bizarrely.
Another thing thats frustrating is that it forgets notification settings. If I set a notification as unimportant, like a battery usage alert or WhatsApp web is open, it will appear again an hour later.
Does anyone else get these issues? You could argue the first one is a chrome/google issue, but i have never had this problem on other androids. My OnePlus works fine for example
If anyone has a solution to these, I would be grateful for hear it. At the moment I am done with Color OS weirdness and considering a custom rom (if one exists)
Edit: Actually I can't get it to open any app via chrome. Everything opens in chrome. Tried resetting everything but it won't work.
