Question about voice speed dial:
Is it possible to replace voice talk with this app. I mean when I press my call button on the Bluetooth headset note activates voice talk. Also double click of the home button activates voice talk.
Since my language is Serbian I have little to no use of voice talk. On the other hands ability to voice tag calls or applications is much better.

Are you sure this is no virus/spyware/adware?
For some reason all Youtube downloaders seem to be viruses, even on the PC.
I don't know why the virusmakers all seem to do youtube downloaders but they do. The website that you linked says it isn't a virus. To me when a site claims their software isn't a virus, it usually IS. The site looks kind of dodgy too.
Is there a way to detect a virus in android apps without installing a bloated antivirus on the phone? Does something exist where you can check android files for viruses on the PC?

Been using this for ages, since Galaxy S time. No issues mate. Have it on my Galaxy S, 8.9 and Note.

My First impressions with XXLP2

For noobs.
AOSP lovers and TW haters, there is a ← button in your keyboard.
I already mentioned about previously leaked XXKPA before, so no point mentioning those points again, instead read it,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440011
• Better than KPA, more bugs are fixed. Still a Beta, of course. Progress is good.
• Phone calls were great. In call earpiece volume was great, as well as speaker, NR was there to be manually turn on/off.
• Now maybe I am wrong but I thing the Vibration intensity for call alerts was fainter than previous release, but if you check it under settings then it was very strong. Weird. Please give feedback on this.
• Same incoming call UI, call answer/reject buttons doesn't animate.
• Phone signal, 3G/H+, WiFi, BT everything worked fine.
• There was NO problem while switching networks to different mode, GSM, Auto etc. This ain't a pros.
• FM radio does work, worked before as well.
• 480x800 walls works well, LWP is definitely smoother than before, can't say if it's same smooth as GB!
• Lock screen ICS animation is still weird.
• Market worked on first try, downloading is working too. No problem here.
• Face unlock does work. OMG, what a time wasting gimmick is this thing.
• Swype is present. But I don't know if it's only me but the default Samsung KB was in QWERTZ format instead of QWERTY.
• GPS lock is fine.
• Same email app (which is poor imo, horrible background choice and you can't change it), damn. GMail app is same as well, no Multi touch support. Now I don't like it.
• 1080P videos (I tried with FLC) were horrible to watch, lagged all the way. I am sure they haven't done anything with it since last release.
• Camera in full res and VR at 1080p works fine usually.
• Same Missed call and SMS notification icon in LS.
• Touch keys does glow up this time.
• Call log entries does show a compact mode if you tap on a particular number. This wasn't present on KPA. A big relief for me.
• Haptic feedback works.
• Now the browser, all the options are there as before, with scrolling has gone much faster and smoother now, you can now scroll a long page with one or two slides now. It should be a big plus point for me and the users who uses Stock browser all time.
I think Sammy doesn't know that there is an 'Exit' word in dictionary
• Development option is present, very normal.
• Connection with PC worked at first go.
• The elastic scrolling all over the UI is a pleasing thing to play with, Hardware acceleration is at effect, a great job done by Samsung, already, still more than two months to go to keep their word.
• Battery life seems good. Lost only 3% in an overnight duration of 9 hours. GPS was on all time. However Standby time isn't a thing to consider battery backup IMO.
• There was a feature in the stock dialer, don't know what's it called actually, with which you just need to press the number keys and it would search for the contacts going by that digits you've entered, but that feature is missing. And it's a PITA for me who has to use the dialer all time to call him or her.
For exmaple: If you need to dial John, then just pressing 5646 in dialer would show that contact, as 5646 contains the word J, O, H & N. But that feature is lacking here and should be included back in Final release.
••• My Conclusion:
I am keeping it for a while and this definitely is a DAILY USE ROM.
Nuff said.
I'll add some more points and a short video with LP2 later. In the mean time screenshots added.
PS- A video is coming later, already uploaded but deleted from YouTube due to long length !
Regards.
PS- Please come and share your feedbacks with this please, I like to be a noob and definitely missed points.
TIA.

Thanks for making another thread. Three threads with "XXLP2" on the first page of this forum wasn't enough, so I'm glad it's now four.

I have to ask! That ridicusly sticky scrolling in like the Facebook app, is that fixed? U said that it was fixed in browser but is it fixed in all apps?

The home button doesn't seem to work for me. is there some setting that needs to be enabled ?
Also none of the lockscreens work either. and there is no task manager as well..

Yes, there is Task Manager, don't know what you're saying, but if you are holding down Home button then you'll see the task manager at the lower left bottom side.
Every type of lockscreens work, including Face Unlock.

Absolutely.
I am uploading a video just to show the whole system wide experience, it's a bit long as I've no intention to show any specific problems or features, just a normal video to check how would you feel with TW+ICS. I should upload another video showing only the problems/bugs, as the added features are already been mentioned. Lets see when I get free time for that.
You guys using this firmware please come and post your feedback here, any problems or bugs or any cool thing you've noticed etc.
Thanks in advance.

there is a call answer-reject animation
once you hold your finger on answer it turns into a larger circle just like on the lockscreen. moving your finger out of that circle answers the call.

I installed LP2 sometime back and it did work fine till I enabled face unlock.
I was able to unlock couple of times and after that Face unlock wouldn't work and worse, the pattern code also didn't. Looked like the entire service crashed.
Back to stock but apart from that, stable release.

Tips and tricks

I thought I'd start this thread to consolidate all the info on the features of the Note 10.1 for those new to Android or tablets, those who are on the fence about buying this, or those who just haven't figured out all the cool features yet
Here's some off the top of my head:
Pinch the keyboard to get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can then move the floating and split keyboards by pushing and holding with 2 fingers.
Press and hold the settings key on the keyboard and select the T icon to switch to handwriting recognition mode.
In the keyboard settings, select "continuous input" for Swype-like functionality.
Feel free to add anything else you might find useful!

Any clue how I could force the keyboard to appear ?
Background of my question is that "Logmein" desktop -version works nicely in stock browser, chrome and opera but I can' t call up he keyboard once I want to type on the remote pc .......

Just found this out: the screen turns on when you pull the pen out.

Had no idea of the swipe style option available on the keyboard...

Here's a video of tips and tricks I've just whipped up. -> http://youtu.be/tC7z5PCdGLE
This is what I've discovered so far: smart stay, motion gestures, keyboard layouts (displayed by OP), handwriting input, nav keys extra functions, S Pen button, mini apps, screenshot key alternate uses and a demonstration of power, four apps running at the same time all of them shown on the screen at once!

Seems the more I learn about this tablet the more I like it. I had removed all of the Sammyware, but now I've out a few things back. Great thread.

Nice feature: Lock screen can be shut off completely ......... very handy when You work with N10.1 the entire day

For a keyboard to pop up it needs to have an input field. it will be useless if you pop it up without anything listening to the keyboard.

Well I have this situation where I need to press F12 to change to another page, but no input field in the page by itself. I tried clicking on the address bar to open the keyboard, but since the focus is not at the right place, it's not working. So I have a situation where it is NOT useless.
I don't know what troed wants to accomplish though.

I'm curious as well. I hate lock screens, they don't seem to have any use to me, especially on a tablet. This thing can't turn on in my pocket, I don't wear clown pants(assuming clown pants have giant clown pockets). I just installed the "No Lock" app which does the trick.

"None" should be the very last option in the screen lock page.

Nice. Thanks. Yup, seems I need wipers for my contacts.

Here we go in German settings (see attachment)
Why I need the keyboard to be opened even if there is no "call it to screen" input field:
I use "logmein" now for a couple of years for only one reason: to check my patients data base in my clinic.
Once I'm logged in and the remote screen appears I can click the icons to start the program but once I want to type a name ton the remote PC he keyboard does not appear.
Of course there would be other solutions, but I tried Splashtop Remote and other similar apps which do not work since my provider protects my clinic from outside intrusion by a firewall and even after my provider opened the ports necessary to run Splashtop Remote it does not work. After testing a lot of apps in the last two years with my SGSII/III and Note LOGMEIN is the only procedure that works. Of course I could buy the Android app Logmein ignition but look at the rating of this app, the prize and comments that it works very poor if at all. And why should I buy an app when my magnificent Note10.1 can do the same with it's browser ?IF I COULD FORCE THE KEYBOARD TO APPEAR ON THE SCREEN TO TYPE ON MY REMOTE PC !!!!!!!!

[FEATURE-LIST]Newest Firmware OTA 4.1.1, India build: N8000DDALI1

Quick heads-up. This is definitely not supposed to be a release candidate. There are a lot of times when apps crash, you can't change lock-screen background due to system crashes etc etc.
I know there are plenty of other topics all about this OTA. Here I present to you, a feature summary.
Please keep in mind that this most likely IS NOT the final 4.1.1 release that Samsung will put out.
Nevertheless, I hope you guys like it!
Feature-list:
S Note upgrades
S Note Widget
Improved calendar colours
Blocking mode
Text-message backgrounds
new multi-tasking features
Screenshot improvements
Improved text selection
S Note
Ah.. The note taking app from Samsung. I think this app was already pretty decent in 4.0.4, so let's see what some of the changes are.
The first thing that you should notice is that Samsung added a scrolling bar on the side. Sweet! Navigation through the standard navigation icon is still available.
When you active the Pen Only mode, the screen still responds to touch for navigation purposes. Touching the scrollbar to scroll works fine.
Want to know what also works fine? Pinch zooming! And boy oh boy, with this update, you WILL be pinch zooming with your palm while using the S Pen. Hate it..
This pretty much beats the purpose of the pen-only mode for me. Great I can't write with my finger any more.. but my palm keeps zooming in etc. It can't be that bad I hear you say? Well, it wouldn't be if it happened once every 15 minutes or so.. but I get it SO FREQUENTLY.. it annoys the hell out of me.
(Lucky for me, I'm getting a Smudge Guard (sort of a Wacom Cintiq 'glove') which will allow my palm to rest on the screen without any hassle. Was already getting it for drawing purposes )
Something that bothers me a bit, is the fact that with the update, landscape mode is zoomed in past 100% making the text and background blurry by default. Rotating your device to portrait mode ofcourse 'fixes' this, but I like working with my tab in landscape mode. On top of this, it is annoying to manually zoom to 100% because there is NO snapping. Leaving you twitching somewhere between 94~106%.
I don't have OCD, but man o man would I like this baby to snap to 100%
Folder lay-out
I wanted to add this quick tip in here. This was already a feature in 4.0.4 but I don't think many people know of it. You can adjust the width of the 'folder-bar' by selecting the dividing line and dragging it to the left or right. Dragging it all the way to the left, hides the folder lay-out.
Portrait page, covers and backgrounds
First off, you get to choose a new page preset named Landscape note.
Also, some new covers and backgrounds are present in this update. Nothing too fancy, but I think that the music sheet is pretty sweet for those who know how to use it.
New S Note widget
I'm pretty sure that this wasn't included in 4.0.4. Correct me if I'm wrong
New sync options?
Nope! The sync options are still limited to Google Drive and Evernote. No dropbox yet..
Settings
I don't believe anything has changed here, but a screenshot anyway
A nice new 'feature' is the fact that the colours in the agenda have been updated. They are brighter than before and reflect the colours I use in my Google Calender better! Yay!
Blocking mode
In the settings tab you can find an interesting new feature called blocking mode. Allowing you to block notifications, incoming calls etc. It's like an upgraded 'Airplane mode' with nice features like time settings and white-listing contacts.
Background text-messaging
Now you can also add a custom background to your textmessage overview yay!
Multi-tasking upgrade bonanza
At first it didn't seem to me that the multi-tasking was incorporated just yet. I had to search for that son of a gun. Turns out, they've given the 'up' - arrow at the bottom of the screen a pretty big make-over.
Where at first you just had some pop-ups like the S Note, Calculator, World time, etc. You now have a world of 'new' possibilities. I haven't played with this a lot yet, but it seems promising. Although there doesn't seem to be any support for third party apps.
When you press the arrow, you get to select which app you want to open. Also you can arrange the open apps in various lay-outs. Free-floating, and a few grid options (see images). Dragging a free floating app to one side of the screen, has a Windows 7 - like feature, making it expand to that side of the screen.
Now I hear people think, "why isn't there a multi-task button in the apps anymore?". Well, you can easily make a (samsung) app free floating, by dragging downwards from the outside, at the top of your screen. (Just like opening notifications on android smartphones!)
To me all these multi-task features feel a bit 'buggy', but I might have a change of heart when I get used to using it
Improved screenshots
Now you can hold the pen button and DRAG! to immediately marquee an area that you want to cut out and take a snapshot of.
Haven't gotten to testing this a lot, so bear with me on the 2 shots
Improved text selection
When selecting text in 4.1.1 you first get an Apple-like magnifier, which is stylized in a pixel-art-like style. It's pretty small though. The selection markers are a bit smaller and seem to have improved performance. In 4.0.4 I found it rather annoying to use them.. In 4.1.1 it feels much better
If you know how to take a screenshot of the notifications, please let me know. The pen method and the on-screen short-cut don't work.
You miss anything? Request something!
Thank if you like!

About the multiwindow feature: nice find! Love this more than the "old" way.
Did you also noticed the new way of selecting text. They are using a magnifier now like the iPad/iPhone. Nice steal .. Hope they don't gonna troll Apple by copying everything that is not patented LoL

Thanks for the list. Looks promising for sure!

I don't know how it is in a browser but in tapatalk none of these pics will zoom.

Thanks! Didn't notice that yet. I don't think they'll have any issues, it looks totally different.
@Mitchellvii; All these image-thumbnails are hyperlinked to the images on imgur, where they are hosted. I don't know how to do it differently on this forum
I know it works fine when I use the XDA app, but this was all created on my laptop

Looks nice so far. But as much as I enjoy having 85 different styles of notebook covers to choose from, how about:
1) Allowing us to create and save our own templates? <<< This!
2) Some white lined paper (yeah crazy right?)
3) A "chalkboard" background so we can write in white (hey I'm weird, I prefer whiting in white ink).

Holy s**t! The new multi tasking looks superb!
One X to rule them all

Looks promising with 4.1.1.

Just press the power-button and the volume-down-button together for 1-2 sec

Thanks kind sir! :laugh: :good:
Quick heads-up. This is definitely not supposed to be a release candidate. There are a lot of times when apps crash, you can't change lock-screen background due to system crashes etc etc.

Samsung's new testing team -- XDA members!
Seriously, this is a good method. Their phones/tabs are unlocked, so it's easy for anyone to try Beta software. This allows Samsung to get real in-depth review of bugs in the codes. And it's fun for many people. Just look at SGS3 JB leaks -- new leak every single day. I won't even call them a leak now!

Actually, anywhere on the taskbar works
Just noticed, if you want to get the bottom bit in the screenshot, i.e, the home, back and task button, do it on one of your homescreens, as it shows up there

Hmm has anyone got the ir function to work?? for me it is dead...

It seems your right, I just tested mine. It doesn't seem to work either.

So far I've only experienced one app crash in S Note, and also I tried to change the lock screen background and it works for me.
Been using the update for like 2 days now, and it has been suprisingly reliable for me.

I believe Samsungs developers are reading this forum, if you have a look at http://www.sammobile.com/ you can see that Samsung are leaking a new JB rom for the SIII pretty much every single day, which would make me think that they are actually using the bug reports and posts in the forum to correct bug and leak new releases.

Too scared to have a proper beta program which allow half of the people able to flash it without getting weird errors?

I am actually more worried about S Note.. If the final version does not disable pinch to zoom in pen only mode, my palm will definitely mess everything up. The it will be a deal breaker and I may not upgrade to jelly bean coz I take notes extensively

In case anyone on an 8013 wonders if this works for us, yes it does, im running it right now. For good instructions look here:

One thing I have noticed is that the stock browser ia MUCH faster, especially when accessing your Google bookmarks. That used to lag badly when opening but no more.

Things you miss after Lollipop update on your Z3

Hi folks, I recently got the update notification and updated my D6603 to Lollipop. I do like Lollipop's new features, but there are a few things I miss from the previous version:
Slide from left to right in the middle to unlock. I used to be able to hold the phone with one hand and slide with my thumb, but now it's from bottom to top. The motion is harder to do, but it's something to get used to.
Remove all from recent apps menu. I cannot find a button to remove all apps in one press. It's not there anymore.
Wishful features/changes:
THE CAMERA! I don't see any improvements on the camera. Still smudgy photos and pink issue with white background, etc. Going through the picture thread is still a disappoint. My hopes for this fix with the update has been lost.
Remove Small apps completely from Recent apps menu. I have never use this and it takes up space on the bottom of the screen, especially when flipping through Recent apps cards. Got this removed, thanks to lu99ke!
That's all I can think of for now. Got yours? Please share!

Hey Hanime
Your wish has been granted!! There is a way to remove small apps from the recent screen - no root required! You just need to be able to run and ADB command ...
I can't post the link but google "remove small apps z3" and you will see a post in the android central forums..
Look for comments on this post as with lollipop, you need to use "hide" instead of block.
See attached pic of it on my phone... Looks HEAPS better.
Cheers

Lu99ke, thank you for this! I will give this a whirl when I get home tonight. Awesome!

NP!

Sound Mode in Quick Settings. I can't mute calls / messages anymore while listening to music as it only affects the media volume.. I would have to go the long way over settings. Is there any work around? Preferably not a widget.

LED notification light in Silent mode
If you switch your phone to silent mode the LED notification light you will not be on If you got a notification.. This not Sony fault
very annoying

Notification bar icons. Not only are they pretty ugly designs but they're also varying in sizes and don't seem to follow any kind of consistent theme.

You still get the notification light if you set it to vibrate. I rarely use silent as I think vibrate is well, silent enough.

Speaking of vibration, how do I get rid of the vibration on keypress of the home row buttons on the bottom (including back and recent apps buttons)?

Thank you very much!

I noticed the physical camera button opens the camera app with a chime sound now. I turned it off via the camera settings (Sound = Off), but it still chimes. The touch version opens the camera silently. Anybody know how to turn the chime off?
Also, on the lock screen, it says "No Service" even when I have service. And it continues to say so until a good restart or when I download the "Internet Settings" again. Normally, it should show my carrier, T-Mobile. Anyone having this issue?

My Xperia with Facebook app does not work. I have it and had put my FB account but when I want to share a picture there is no opiton to use "Xperia with Facebook"
