thanks
sorry for my bad english

Its already available. Check this thread. And its not 2.3.4.

my battery life is decreased again after upgrading to KF3 from KE8....what can i do........even 7 hours it cant survive the charging.........

Kinda old news. Anyway, it's as smooth as KE8. Swype has got an upgrade.

thanks
i didn't know that
well its same as last one
no battery improvement
just android system and android os using much less battery (2%, 4%)
which is good

well my friend... i think battery life is slightly improve
due to less consumption of android os and android system
thanks

Please search before posting

I will report on battery backup as soon as I hard reset it, something messed up, can't find what!!

Old new!?
People with non rooted phones do not surf around much in developer section

I'm running on Rooted KE8.. Rooted using CF Root with insecure kernel method (chainfire). Can I use Odin to flash the new firmware (on an already rooted phone), or will my phone get bricked. No worries about losing root; i'll just root it again once I update the firmware.

No update for me
No update for me here.
Kies still not detecting any new firmware. I am in KE8.
Why is that?

updated to new KF3;
Its more fluid then previous one ;
didn't noticed any other enhancement

security update on SM N9005 caused severe battery drain issue. my phone is not rooted

hi
I have nZ based n9005 note 3. After kit kat update my battery timing was working awesome . 24 hours with data wifi and sync on. But after the security update happened 2 days back of 500KB. my phone sucks from that point till now. I have done factory reset. tried installing different official roms and still it sucks. is there any way I can roll back that security update ? Where security updates are installed ? rom or kernel ? Also if they are installed on kernel can I reset my kernel and if yes will it void warranty ? Also from where I can download official kernels ?
Thanks . Please answer all I asked . million Thanks
my phone is not rooted.

Any one ???????/

I don't think u can roll back. It shld be somewhere at the BL partition or other secured partition. Perhaps Google will help u better.
But no, it is not on kernel. Security updates got nothing to do with rom nd kernel.

[Q] Unbranded Galaxy S5 battery drain after firmware update

Hi,
First a small warning: I'm quite the noob when it comes to these things, so if the problem actually has an easy and logical fix, my bad!
Since updating my unbranded, unrooted Galaxy S5 yesterday, I've got a massive battery drain. Before the update, the battery would make it up to 60 hours with moderate use. Since updating to G900FXXU1ANG8 though, It's been draining about 10%/hour. Is this a common problem with the new update? (Tried to google it, but didn't find anything about battery drain) Is there anything I could do? Or perhaps set it back to the previous firmware? Also I have the finger scanner unlock activated (which has also been updated), but I'm guessing that's not the problem.
Details:
Unbranded unrooted Galaxy S5
Model: SM-G900F
4.4.2 KitKat
Firmware: G900FXXU1ANG8
Do correct me if I did anything wrong!
Thanks in advance.

It is always recommended to do a data factory reset after an upgrade to start fresh and get rid of old files. I would try that if i we`re you and see if that helps.

Snapdragon or Exynos? I'm using an N910C (Exynos) on the latest update and get 5hrs+ of Screen On Time. Make sure if you're buying a new battery that it is a genuine Samsung, or buy Anker or PowerBear. Don't use fast charging.

snapdragon version

check battery health. there are few apps on the play store to find this out... if it is in good health, you need to re-caliberate your battery - for this too there are several apps available.
if the battery health is not good, then consider buying a new battery.

I think your battery is not original. Because now a days very cheap and A class B class and C class batteries are selling. Purchase a genuine battery.
Or try to do factory reset and give it a day to settle down all stuff. Also charge with a genuine or high quality charger. Also note if any app is draining battery then uninstall or disable if you don't use or update. Try to turn off location,mobile data,nfc,sync and smart stay if you don't use them frequently or turn them on when you need. Also turn off S pen detection in S pen settings. Good luck.

Downgrade to Marshmallow - SM-G935FD

Hi, as the title said, is there any beginner guide for downgrading to Marshmallow? My S7 Edge is SM-G935FD, Exynos version. I've decided to downgrade it from Nougat because my battery life is horrible after I updated to the latest update. I read several threads that said they encountered problem with the vibrate motor. I don't want that to happen, obviously. Is there any solution to prevent that from happening? Thank you so much.

You can find a marshmallow rom and install it with odin but in my opinion its better to stay with nougat because the security patches and the battery will be better after some charge cycles

Actually it's been months and the battery is still horrible, so, no. And I don't plan on rooting anytime soon because my warranty is still 4-5 months left. But thanks for replying. Do you have other solution?
