I didn't even know you could install Whatsapp on a tablet. I thought you needed a phone number for that?

The phone number doesn't have to be on the device as long as you confirm it.

the stock video player and bs player both float.

If not launcher, what theme and icon set? That is a very sweet looking screen shot that some ipad owners I know would cringe to see on my Note!

Install whatsapp From their site. Use a different phone number then the one on your mobile phone ( don't have to be a mobile number )then confirm it with a Sms or if you don't use a mobile number they will call you for the confirmation code .Confirm it and your good to go!!!
I am using nova launcher with some icons i collected over the years.Here is a dropbox link: https://db.tt/nNdy71J2

Every time I click any download link from their site it pops me straight to the Play Store and incompatible for my device. Are you rooted by chance?

Can anyone who has downloaded this put up a mirror? Dropbox is still not allowing transfers of the file due to too much bandwidth blah blah blah.

Here you go.

Needs GTalk back on rooted note 3

I bought a Note 3 yesterday which came with Hangouts.... I need Gtalk badly, bcoz i am connected to for 24 hrs and dont like Hangouts as it doesn't have Audio calling feature by default.
I have rooted the device, but the google search didn't help me much.
Anyway to do it please?

Hangouts replaced GTalk, you could search for an older .apk however it'd bug you to update it all the time, and probably isn't supported anymore.
To be honest, hangouts is pretty decent once you get used to it.

Actually i tried it a lot on my ONE, but i the more i tired, more i hate it ...
I got apk files for gtalk... But most of them are not working....

Google probably killed all support for GTalk now, you;ll have to adapt to Hangouts, or alternatively find a new app with Voice support. WhatsApp can support voice, but not for calling :/ - There's always Skype! not sure if LiNE support Voice though(?)

Yeah no more support after 4.2, won't work unless you can hack the app etc but even then, the services revert to Hangouts since GTalk ceases to exist now. - You have to cut your losses I'm afraid man

Nope, Stopped supporting it now as I said before.

Since the latest update, you won't be able to downgrade to GTalk since Hangouts is a stock application.

I have GTalk on the my Note 3 but I am using a custom ROM (omega) and chose not to install hangouts in aroma installer. Then I just installed the GTalk apk and converted it to a system app. Works fine for me.

(Q) Anyway to actually fix the bluetooth wake lock?

I was on another stock rom that was giving me some problems with RR's and some things so I flashed another stock T-Mobile debloated rom found here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688981
And now I have this hideous BT wakelock. It's really annoying. I have read a lot about it on the net but just not whether or not there is a fix for it... I don't really want to use an AOSP rom. I like the stability of stock with some exposed additives but this is kinda crazy. Really eats a lot of my battery up...

It sounds like you know what you're talking about. I'm just a little confused. Bluetooth isn't running. It's not even turned on. So, I'm not thinking it's an app. Apparently it's a known issue. I just wonder if anyone has fixed it .. Or how their dealing with it.

It is a bug with in kitkat its self not lg's ui
Download the service disabler app from play store
Open it and go to system apps .. scroll down to bluetooth open it and kill all blue services by clicking them ...
If you end up with any issues with bluetooth not working just revert the diaabled services .
This app works for any serice and is my best friend

I dunno. I asked myself the same question. I charged to 100% and then unplugged and went about 16 hours with about 5 hours screen on time before the phone turned itself off.... Others get better life. With the other kit Kat stock rom I had I went about 18 hours with 5 hours screen on time and had about 20% left.... That rom started random rebooting. Never could figure out why... If I reflash it will remove my TWRP hence why I don't just reflash that one and started using this one....

Sprint Galaxy Note Edge Lollipop now live!

It's about freaking time! ATT update should be live today for the Edge and S5, at least according to Google Now. Was beginning to lose hope in this device for a minute so I'm glad there's some type of conformation it's on the way.

The change from dalvik to art is why. My phone got so hot while optimizing I put it next to my window while it completes. It downloaded fast on my friends Edge but we both are covered by band 41. Took him the most 10-15 mins which is good for a file that large.

Me too! It was the first thing I nagged at and said wtf Samsung. Other than that it's been fluid. I haven't experienced the awful lag that would randomly occur and freeze my phone for about a minute on kitkat which is a big relieve. The new keyboard is also more responsive to me. Good update overall!

I didn't get that. Soon as the update finished it said Google play services needs to be updated and I clicked it and it automatically began downloading and never saw a message in regards to it again. Did yours update after lollipop finished installing?

New updates in Play Store

Looks like a bunch of Moto apps got updated in the Play Store today...
Moto 3.0.49
Moto Actions 1.11.33
Motorola Boot Services 4.0.0
Motorola Camera 5.0.47.7
Motorola FM Radio 02.00.0045
Motorola Gallery 520012
Handful of new permissions too... Didn't keep track as they went by, just approved them all.
Haven't really noticed any difference yet, probably just bug fixes, but it's only been a little bit.

Sometimes the Play Store gets bugged and doesn't notify you of updates right away then weeks later they all show up at once.

Hey guys I actually noticed something.
The playstore updates of these apps removed the moto option from settings.

New Moto Camera update broke the camera on my XT1550.. using it with dpi modded to 280. Front camera / video recording buttons are out of place, which means tapping them takes a picture. Uninstalled and reverted to original version.

What exactly does that matter? I just checked and it still shows up on the apps menu which is probably the only place it should be anyway.

Same here lol flashed a few different roms and then went back to stock just to see. Kinda stinks because I like to use nova to hide any apps that can affect system wide functions so when it was in settings it had a nice home.
