Today i got the Play Shop update to my note. Looks like google replaced the Android Market with the Play Shop.
yes,
may be music, book,video update won't available in india, but you can update manually here is detail

Yes but...
They haven't fixed the after 20 pages of apps in My Library bug.
(It goes back to the beginning). In my case, it gets to the letter 'I' before it goes back to 'A'. Thus, I have no visibility to any apps I have installed (and blown away with frequent ROMs) in the past or on other devices.
Furthermore, I can no longer see my order history or my devices.
The order history was bugged anyways as I wasn't even able to see all the Apps I had purchased.
You would think that a company like Google wouldn't have so many outstanding bugs that deal with downloaded/purchased products for such a long time...

i somewhat agree with you on this....theres not much different from the normal market...
As a user, it looks kind of pointless until you realize that the name Google is now prominent. I bet you many people did not necessarily think of Google when they visited the old Android Market.

I currently have the wi-fi Note 8.0 and love it. I would like to get the AT&T model but is it rooted yet and does the multi-window option work? Finally is the AT&T note stuff here or is there another area to look for? Hopefully these questions don't sound to dumb.

Rooted Yet - No
MultiWindow - Yes
This is it for AT&T Note 8 LTE SGH-I467
I'm sure that it will be rooted soon. (I Hope). I got one a week ago and love it. I only want root so I can install Titanium Backup. Custom Roms are nice, but I just want to be able to debloat and have a good backup
since this is a question, you should have posted it in Q&A....

I agree, I should have caught that.
The AT&T model is not rooted yet. The multiwindow feature works great. There is no specific forum for the AT&T model so we discuss it here. I highly recommend picking it up if you can. I'm absolutely in love with mine. It'll be even more awesome once they get it upgraded to Android 4.2.
I too purchased the AT&T Note 8. On the morning it became available actually. I too love the Note 8 and highly recommend it. Especially so with the bundle deal that brings the price down to $199.
That said I have found a few issues that are in need of fixing. Firstly, of course, is the ability to root so one can use Titanium Backup to debloat. But also many have found that the screen freezes momentarily randomly. If you want to use it to play games you will be disappointed. Also, every time you power up (boot up) the current version of the software resets all factory defaults so that 3rd. party keyboards for example are deselected and you have to manually select them as default. I personally have also found that the Samsung calendar as well as google calendar doesn't automatically sync with your Samsung and/or your Google accounts, you have to do this manually as well.
these are all reasons that I bought the wifi version; we already have root, there are custom roms/kernels, custom recovery, and since there is wifi almost everywhere, and where there isn't, I can tether to my Note2, I didnt see any reason to give ATT another dime of my $$$$
hope you guys get root/custom recovery soon, because a tweaked, debloated,OC'd Note 8.0 is nothing but fun!

I hear you. However, some of us who were buying new phones anyway the AT&T bundle deal pricing of $199 for the Note 8 as opposed to the $499 retail made sense. Yes, I would liked to have root already but I will live with the wait in light of the initial cost savings. Now when can I get a Note 3???? :laugh:
not sure where you heard the wifi was 499; I got mine for 350 at Best buy, and I think there are places selling at 325...
but yeah, 199 is a nice price....
Note 3 is a ways away, i think!
I'm sure you'll have root soon; maybe send a pm to Chainfire, and see if he is working on it yet...

I also find that Chrome has problems. I don't know if it's a Chrome issue or a ROM issue but Chrome seems to not get click placement right when tapping on the screen, especially when using the pen. You have to tap below a link to get it to actually fire. Very annoying. Even with the brand new Chrome 28 release a day ago, it still does this. I'm using the stock browser until this gets resolved.

Is almost certainly a Chrome issue. Chrome 26 works fine. The problem was introduced in Chrome 27. I'm sure it'll get fixed eventually. In the meantime I'm just using the stock browser. I didn't see it as a big enough issue to do something drastic like taking it back.

Last night's update of Chrome Beta (their second patch for this issue) fixed the problem for me. It will likely be a number of weeks before the patch makes it to the stable Chrome release.

Okay, I thought I was either drunk or crazy. I swore Chrome was registering wrong clicks and it would eventually just stop with the input all together. What a terrible bug - I too was forced to use the stock browser. Glad it's fixed in the latest release. Let's hope that makes it into the Play store sooner rather than later.

Is anyone else seeing a Note 3 Keyboard listed as installed AT THE BOTTOM of your "All" list in google play..... but not showing as installed in your "Installed" list? I am not able to find it anywhere on my device and Samsung on live chat said that they never issued a OTA with a note 3 Keyboard. This is spyware. I can not get rid of it. No matter what I do it comes back after a day or two.
Don't see that. Stock rooted mf9.
This crap won't go away. It keeps coming back. Rooted or not. I never see a notification. It just appears suddenly. I have appnotifier and it shows nothing being installed. I just appears magically. I hate this ****. Whatever it is is deeply embedded in my phone. I notice that when I do a wipe in recovery my data partition doesn't mount. Can you tell me if yours does please? You don't have to wipe anything just see if you can mount and unmount the data partition. Mine says unmounted and will not mount at all. I think this might be part of the problem. The data wipe doesn't really happen, and this Keyboard is in that part that isn't getting wiped. That is the only thing I can think on how it keeps coming back no matter what I do. PIT files and numerous firmwares, and nothing removes it permanently. If you could tell me if yours mounts...That would help me a lot. Thanks

I talked with Samsung. They said it is not a legit Samsung app and it was never rolled out to any S4 OTA or included in any OEM firmware. I think I know where it came from. Did you ever flash firmware from Galaxys4root.com? That is just a hunch of mine. May not be the source at all. But after I flashed that firmware I noticed lots of extra b.s. going on and found it. It shows on my phone, but not when I look at my play orders on my computer. Samsung said it's not really linked to Google play at all. That is why you can't leave a review or report the app. Try that and you'll see. The creator was cleaver enough to give it the appearance of a legit Google apps so that it will install on your phone without being blocked. Have you ever looked on your device for it? I can't find anything and my appnotifier and lookout never pick it up. It just magically appears once I root or allow install of apps from unknown sources.
Can anyone tell me if maybe my SIM card needs to be changed? Like is it possible that this Note 3 Keyboard keeps coming back because of the personal information or MEID contained on my phone? LIke, I did a full reflash with PIT files, and pulled the battery and did a factory reset from recovery before I let it boot. It still came back after about a day with no updates at all.
Would some of you more skilled people give me some ideas to try and maybe explain or suggest how this can be happening? Like is it possible that a new partition has been created that does not get rewritten with PIT file and firmware? Please... I want this **** off my phone! Any suggestions are gonna be appreciated and tested. I know somebody has an idea of what is happening here....Thanks for reading this.

All I know is that I talked to Samsung via live chat and they said that it is not affiliated with Samsung in any way and a Note 3 keyboard should not be on any Galaxy S4. Go to live chat yourselves and ask questions. Sprint told me that I can get a new one on my warranty but there is a $50 surcharge. The Tech at sprint said it's not affiliated with Google play. It just has some of the API's to trick the phone into letting it install. I don't kow for sure where it came from. I've flashed so many ROM's and firmwares that it is impossible to pinpoint it. I got a feeling that a lot of people will find it if they look for it. At least the ones that are flashers will anyways.
I've tried deleting everything but when the new ROM loads and I look through the files, I'm still finding folders and files with week old dates on them. I'm not sure how that is happening. I'm dying to get to the bottom of this. Help me keep this thread bumped so more people will see it. Hopefully someone will give us the right info to get rid of it.
I see the same thing I'm on stock.

I would say they are full of it. That app is from Samsung. I have a friend with a Note 3 and it updated itself using that app. Now why it is showing on the S4 is probably just some glitch in there programming, or because they are working on a 4.3 update for the S4. I also have it on mine. Once the new update comes out for the S4 I suspect it will have the new keyboard and the app will then work.
Delete the Samsung keyboard lol. I did.
Well I went to the mall yesterday and a friend of mine has a note 3 and he has that keyboard as well, also the link on the playstore takes you to the korean or japanese samsung website. I am beggining to think is just a glitch. I also have the stock samsung keyboard removed and use swiftkey.

I'm certain that somebody has exploited the keyboard. It wasn't on my phone when it was stock unrooted right from the store. It only showed up after flashing back to "stock" firmware. In which one instance I was seeing lots of bogus crap going on. Apps where getting flashed right over the top of the little green android. In the applications manager you could see the little green Android behind numerous app icons. They all had a little something extra. My phone was doing all sorts of neat crap on it's own. Somebody had complete control of my device. That came from galaxys4root.com Flash that **** and you'll see for yourself. Everything was tainted. The play store, the play services It was like it was in a war, it would have two updates for the same thing showing in pull down notification window. One real, one bogus. The first time I flashed it, I just hit updtae on everything. When I noticed all the funny stuff, I re-flashed it and paid attention to all the updates. All of the Samsung apps were tainted, It would go back and forth updating and then updating back to the other. Thats what made me notice the differences. It kept updating the same apps over and over. That is when I noticed that they were different.

I did. It still shows as installed. I cut everything out. Even everything that had input devices in the name. It still shows as installed. When I factory reset it is not there for anywhere from 12 hours to 24 hours. My phone is fast as hell, scrolls like a champ and the battery lasts all day on one charge. Like 16 to 18 hours. As soon as that keyboard shows up it slows down, acts funny and gets laggy. The battery is disappearing like crazy. I have to charge it twice a day to make it till I get home. It might be a legit app for many, but I'm positive that someone has exploited the app and is using it in firmware as a information collector, and it does not go away no matter what I do. I'm wondering if it is in my efs partition... if that is even possible. What I know is that with Android, almost anything is possible. If you can think it, someone can code it.
Hi Guys!
I hope this has not been discussed and it's not a dumb question.
I just got my first android phone which is the note3. Ex-apple fanboy and man am I glad I switched!
Dont think I can ever go back to my iphone ever again.
That said, I cant seem to figure out one feature. Is there a way to create keyboard shortcuts? Ie - type omw and the phone will convert that to on my way?
I have looked online and all over in the phone and this is driving me insane!
Thanks again!

I don't actually know if there is a keyboard out there that supports it. SwiftKey doesn't and the Samsung stock doesn't either. Smart keyboard might have this feature, you can try search for it in the playstore. But if it's not that important to you, then I'd suggest to try SwiftKey instead. It's a killer keyboard and I bet it will blow your mind if you're used to Apple's keyboard

The Note 3 does not have screen recording. It is not limited to hardware though, so it is possible in the future. Screen recording is built in with Android 4.4 and above, so you might see the feature in the upcoming 4.4 update for Note 3. However, it will probably not arrive until January sometime is my guess. It's also worth noting that especially Samsung is known for removing some of Androids core features and add some of their own. Therefore it's not sure that we will get screen recording with 4.4 for Note 3. With that being said, you can download an application that offers screen recording, however that require your phone rooted. Keep in mind that rooting will possibly break your warranty.

Thanks for the info! Rooting Isn't a problem, and I'm ok with the warranty thing. I actually pay a monthly fee for an extended warranty because I drop phones a lot
I wish Samsung would be more like the Nexus series!

I don't know any myself, I just know there are a few in the Play Store. I never had the need for it myself, so I haven't tried them out. I'd recommend searching in the playstore and looking for the most downloaded one as well as the one with most stars.

The first thing I do when buying a new Samsung phone is install my favourite font (SEGOE UI) as I like thin fonts and I'm not a fan of the heavy default font, (don't get me started on the ridiculous Choco Cooky and the others that Samsung offer) But the S7 is having none of it, saying all my 3rd party fonts are incompatible.
It's not a Marshmallow issue as far as I know as my S6 Edge+ is running MM and allows font apk installation.
Apps found on the Play Store that used to install fonts without root are all broken too. The only way to get more fonts is through Samsung's own app store and they are limited, expensive and mostly rubbish. I am after a lightweight standard font.

Yeah, I understand that root would solve the issue but I am not planning on rooting the S7 as I want to try out Samsung Pay when it reaches the UK. I just don't understand why installing fonts has suddenly become an issue when it was fine on all my previous Sammy devices.

I appreciate your help. Sadly I have tried all the installation modes and none of them work in iFont. It recommends root. So it looks like Samsung is only accepting fonts purchased in their app store. The vast majority of fonts in the app store are in Korean and all cost £1 each. So I guess I am stuck.

Just another way for them to make money. It sucks that they don't us to change the font unless we purchase it. I also dislike that they took away the stock music player. You are forced to use the Google Play Music Player.

Especially love the the color change with the theme when u get a incoming call......this why I stay with Samsung. So glad we got memory card slot back....

The first thing I do when buying a new Samsung phone is install my favourite font (SEGOE UI) as I like thin fonts and I'm not a fan of the heavy default font, (don't get me started on the ridiculous Choco Cooky and the others that Samsung offer) But the S7 is having none of it, saying all my 3rd party fonts are incompatible.
It's not a Marshmallow issue as far as I know as my S6 Edge+ is running MM and allows font apk installation.
Apps found on the Play Store that used to install fonts without root are all broken too. The only way to get more fonts is through Samsung's own app store and they are limited, expensive and mostly rubbish. I am after a lightweight standard font.

We're also having the problem with the S6 on Marshmallow too. The thing is, if you upgraded from Lollipop, your custom fonts that were already installed work, but if you do a clean install... same as described here.

Yes, you are correct. My custom font held when I upgraded my S6 Edge+ to Marshmallow, until I was forced to do a factory reset. I realised that I could no longer install the font without rooting

Hi. I'm also not rooted. I contacted Samsung and they said its definitely due to the marshmallow update and it's down to the developer of the font to update the font so we can use them from the play store. I contacted one developer for flip font but had no reply yet. So seems we have to pester them.
I basically killed my battery trying to get something to work last week LOL I know there was this issue with my S5 for awhile, then the font app developers updated something and I was able to install 3rd party fonts. Hopefully they'll update again so we can install whatever font we want. Since I'm on AT&T I doubt we'll have root.

I am positive this is not a marshmallow issue. I have a Note5 and have been facing the issue since the lollipop days. it was triggered by a software update in Jan '16, and ever since no third party fonts seem to work. I have tried every possible way, but without root, it is impossible.
Thanks. This is what Samsung told me. Obviously fobbing the blame elsewhere. I'm no developer. I wish there were more fonts available on the galaxy app store. Bit there's been nothing new in the past 2 weeks. Unless it's Korean. Hope someone on this site has an answer apart from root.
Slim Chance of getting free fonts
I am one of the free font developers and Samsung, and their partnership with Monotype, caused this issue. The code in the Marshmallow FlipFont program will only allow you to apply fonts that come from applications signed with a certain signature (i.e. apps that are owned and built by Monotype Imaging). Until there is a super sneaking work-around, there is really no chance for a free app to work on a stock Marshmallow phone.
It is funny (as a developer of free fonts) that Samsung is pointing the users to me to fix the issue... when they know that code was changed to prohibit free fonts being installed on Marshmallow devices.
I'm currently working on a quick fix to apply free fonts... but the prospect is not good. Sorry all :crying:
Please load these fonts on app store
