I hear the Note 3 will have this feature enabled for the s-voice, however, I'm not a fan of the s-voice.

Do you know if it's possible to have the always listening mode used with Google Now - and not have a battery drain. So replacing s-voice with google now.

I know the "always listening" mode is a feature of the s800 cpu, correct? So the app would have to be written to support the standby mode, correct?

I think this will come in time. Once we get root and bootloader unlock/loki good things will start popping up all over the place. I can't wait. In the meantime you might be able to launch google now using s-voice as a workaround :silly:

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... Re-routing "Hello Galaxy" to pop up Google Now instead of S-Voice...

I need an app guy. :D LOL! Could be a good app to make money on!

doesn't look like that's' ever going to happen with the N3 unfortunately.

safestrap maybe, which is good enough for me but we don't even know if that will happen.
why not "ever" happen? You mean the bootloader? I have an s4, and the bootloader is locked, but we have loki...

Is the n3 not going to be a popular device? Maybe that's why we wouldn't get it? I couldn't imagine running a phone without a custom recovery and ROMs

yea, I hear that. I agree 100%.

I love my tricked out N2 and have an upgrade available that will not affect my unlimited data that I can use to buy an N3, but I'm holding off for now to see how badly the N3 really is locked down.

I need root for sure as I need my hotspot, ADaway etc.etc.etc.
