I can confirm, just took update now and broke my remap.

Got the update as well. Decided to update and figured this was going to happen.
It's really disappointing. I was enjoying using that button as a "play next" for my music, and now that functionality is gone.

I hate being force fed a largely redundant and half-baked feature. I'll just go back to ignoring the button.

I just dont update.... I really hate Samsung is doing this. I'll just wait for a fix or Ill just stay on this ROM.

i havent got any ota, even though im using a cricket sim. but when i plug in my phone to smart switch, nothing. says up to date

There are a new series of "post update" bixy button remappers. I am currently using "bxactions" and it is lag free and works extremely well. I highly recommend check it out.

I had good luck with this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.schueller.byebyebixby .
I wonder if Samsung disabling the ability to capture the button is actually illegal in the USA as it would remove an accessibility feature required under the ADA. Business are getting sued because the their handicap parking sign isn't at the right height and stupid stuff like that.

Up-to-date meaning which build? ADQ9?

AT&T Tab2 10.1 (i497) jelly bean update now available

Nobody has seen this yet? Finally available.
http://phandroid.com/2013/06/27/att-galaxy-tab-2-10-jelly-bean/
I check faithfully everyday. Downloading it now OTA. Came here to report it but gokartracer5 is already on top of the update. :victory: It better be JB. :fingers-crossed:
Updated it last night, still trying to find the right file to root with.
UPDATE: I'm rooted! Good to go!
Someone posted the root method in the development thread. It works.

I just wish there was a reliable CWM recovery touch for this variant.
Also, maybe it's just me, but I have to say that, for all of the cries from people for JB, I've really not noticed much of a difference since the update.
Yeah, it has to be the smallest changelog I have ever seen.

It isn't as though I had any problems with the tablet before, except for some occasional lag, but, except for the icons and some minor cosmetic changes, I haven't noticed anything to distinguish it from ICS.
Of course, I'm grateful that they're at least updating it. Especially since there would be so many people crying if they didn't.
Maybe I'm too oblivious to notice the changes.

Wow. Nothing there that I use or couldn't live without. Still, that'll keep the zealots quiet for at least a while, LOL!

Wasn't this release supposed to include Project Butter?
I just noticed something that has been changed that I don't like: in the settings from the taskbar you used to be able to turn mobile data on and off, and now that button is gone and I can't figure out how to get it back.

Technically doesn't airplane mode do just about the same thing on this tablet? Unless you have found a use for the phone signal.

The way I see it, the mobile data radio button was most handy so that I could make sure I was not using my data plan when WiFi was on. I preferred having this feature, and I have noticed a difference in the past when I thought I was using WiFi only to learn I wasn't. Maybe you don't think it was useful, but I certainly found it to be very much so. Now I have to drill down into the settings to manually turn off mobile data instead, which is a pain.
Besides, airplane mode usually shuts off Bluetooth, GPS, mobile data, and WiFi, or at least it has on nearly every device I've ever owned. In other words, from a practical standpoint: baby with the bathwater.

I guess you are right. Airplane mode does shut off way too much. How about adding a data toggle from the Play Store?

Shouldn't have to, that button was a perfect solution, I wish I knew why it was removed, there really was no need for it to go.

Any chance someone with this Rom and Root could extract and post the AllAccess APK?
Should be in /system/app/
I highly recommend a hard reset after updating to 4.1.
I didn't the first time and it was super laggy and buggy. After formating, it's smooth now.

[REQUEST] Tapatalk version before the major change

As many of you probably know, the new version of Tapatalk is a hot mess. I wish I've read the comments before upgrading.
Anyone happen to have the apk of the version prior to the major change in the UI and functionality?
I'll dig around in all my backups.
There are so many issues with the update:
1. The app is now ad-supported, but it's free! I paid for the app so I wouldn't see ads.
2. Forum navigation is cumbersome. Why would you force users to tap the most difficult spot to navigate?
3. Everything I load XDA, the "failed to connect to forum" toast pops up. I believe that renders the mark forum as read button useless.
4. 2 start new topic buttons while the mark as read button is hidden in a menu.
5. Color scheme.
6. There's no way to sort your subscribed subforums.
7. What's with the collage at the top once you connect to a forum? All that does is force users to scroll just to see what they want.
8. I could go on by I've got better things to do.
Yeah, it's a complete disaster. Check the attachment, that's version 4.9.5, right before the major UI redesign.
Anyway it just got updated to version 4.10.1.
^ Thanks!
I also paid for the Pro version. The strange thing is that out of the blue (about 2 weeks ago), the Pro version won't allow attachment uploads. It displayed a message to download the version from the Play Store and logging in with a Tapatalk ID to have that functionality and also (coincidentally?) the app force closes every time it's opened shortly after.
That pretty much made me install the version from the Play Store. I smell something is going on to force the current users to download the current ad version. I don't think it is fair for the ones that paid to get rid of the ads.

AFAIK there's no pro version anymore. The one attached is the free version, the one and only version of Tapatalk that's in the play store.

I know, haven't updated the app in over a year. It worked fine which is why I never upgraded.
I downloaded the apk but it won't let me install. When I tap on "Install" nothing happens, I could only tap on "Cancel"

I believe I saw it in a drop-down menu somewhere. But I'd gone back to Tapatalk Pro temporarily so I don't have it handy to check.
I've also gone back to the Pro version. It is so much better without all the unnecessary bloat.

Can't handle it, Lookout can't be disabled

Anyone find a way to permanently disable Lookout? I disable it and it comes back a day or 2 later. Additionally T-Mobile Sling TV does the same thing.

Seriously? I disabled Lookout on day 1, it has not come back. Same for T Mobile TV.
Mine hasn't come back either. Hope it doesn't. I'll be mad.
both apps came back again. manually disabling does not keep it that way
Mine hasn't came back.

I'm doing the same thing right now. I'm thinking Benzo Rom. CM roms dont go so well with Project Fi.
Luckily, I recently swapped from N back to MM (chroma). Been playing as much as possible, but so many server issues great game when it works!

OMG sooooooo many server issues. And app bugs for that matter. Whats funny is this game was in Beta for awhile. My friend actually had bata access. I think it should of spent waaaaay more time in beta.
Do any of you have the bug where if you receive any notification with sound the sound in the game goes away.
And gyms not working correctly.
Being already bored of Ingress I find it incredibly boring since it's the same game.
Haven't opened the app since I got into the beta.

That explains why the sound kept dropping out!
Anyone working on a patch or work around to get it running on the beta? How would one even go about that? Edit the app or the build prop file?
Went into town yesterday to walk around and catch some Pokemon, also try to take a gym (It's located at a Fire Hydrant painted like Mario!) I wasn't the only one in town playing. There must have been at least 25 people I walked past playing Pokemon. When I got to the Mario Hydrant there were two teams trying for it. Blue (Mine) and Yellow. I was able to capture the gym pretty quickly, which pissed off the yellow team because they had been at it for twenty minutes before I got there.

What app/spoofer are you using? I tried with FakeGPS Free and Pokemon Go puts me on the map in the spoofed location but throws the error "Failed to detect location" and it won't put any pokemon or pokestops on the map.
Anyone manage to get it running on Android N? Can we do a build.prop change it something?

Verizon voicemail messages stop short

Just discovered an issue where once I select the voice mail message it starts playing as soon as I put the phone to my ear the screen flashes on and the voicemail stops playing - it'll play if I use speaker but not if I listen to it via the ear piece - it stops after a few seconds. Maybe proximity sensor issue?

No Clue. I just know it works. Remove it and vvm works fine, messages will play when the phone is brought to the face or when you cover sensors. Install Samsung Pay again and the vvm goes back to stopping after one-two-three seconds or when you cover the sensors.

Holy smokes! Disabling all Use Favorite Card settings in Samsung Pay worked. However, when I re-enabled all of them it did it again. So I disabled ONLY the "Screen Off" option and now my voicemails play correctly. Thanks EQUAKE.

Root cause of the issue possibly lies in how Nougat handles security permissions since there are reports from S6/S7/Note 5 owners with the same issues when they were updated to Nougat from Samsung. Visual VM app definitely needs updating.

Disabling screen off still has the VM bug for me - what works for me is if you leave Lock screen and screen off on but turn off Home SCreen. Bizarre I know.
I have the issue and don't have Samsung pay....
I disabled "Use Favorite Cards" lock screen and screen off only (Left Home Screen on) and it fixed it for me.
