I used to have in the blocking Mode the option to disable LED notifications while blocking Mode was on. I know the Note 3 had it but I wonder why Samsung took it out. Is there any other way to get it back?

I'm not sure if a mod like this exists already but a couple of days ago I realised that if the power button were disabled entirely on the lock screen and the user installed phone tracking software like lockout then it would be very difficult to steal.
Most thieves turn the phone off and remove the battery immediately once they have the phone so it renders the tracking software useless but if you couldn't long press the power button to shut down, get to the context menu to access shutdown/reboot or remove the battery then in theory the only way to disable it would be to have the sim-access pin on you to take the sim card out.
Is anyone interested in implementing this or has anyone done this already?
The only issue I see with this is if your phone freezes.

True... do you know if it would be possible to have an alternate way of turning the phone off that wouldn't be effected by a crash?
Perhaps some sort of button combination instead of long pressing power.
Alternatively just let the battery run out I suppose...
All someone has to do is put the device into fast boot mode and wipe userdata. Easy if you have a little know how.

Put a gps tag in it, separate of hardware/software. That's the only way to track it. Otherwise there's always a way to get in if you have physical access to the device.

Could you put it into fast boot if you're stuck on the lockscreen with the power button disabled though?
Also, highly doubt the average thief would have the know how.

Still, a small mod like this would make it all the much harder to steal and get away with.
Even if the power button were disabled in software, you could still long press the button to force a power off. As far as I know, this is a hardware failsafe feature.

You are correct. There is a microchip that disconnects power to the circuit when the power button is held. This mod would have to bypass that microchip and wouldn't be worth it.

Are people really that afraid of their phone being stolen? Lost maybe? But a minor degree of caution prevents any theft (except maybe by force but those are rare)

Does it really matter if the phone is "lost" or "stolen"? Either way, you don't have it and someone else does.
I'd they take the sim card out ...

You must not go to places like gyms or health clubs. Those places can be bad for stolen phones.

I have an app on my phone that will notify me if someone puts another sim card in my phone. It will send me all the sim information and I believe it can even take their picture. Of course this only works on stupid thieves. Luckily the majority are.

Exactly! This wouldn't make it theft proof. Doesn't stop the thief taking it out of your pocket.
As mentioned there are a number of apps that can track the phone, remote wipe etc etc.
Luckily I have never lost a phone or had it stolen. My main and really only concern would be people having access to the pictures of my children. As the nexus 4 doesn't have an SD card slot these are only stored on the phone. So if I remote wipe they won't have access to them. Plus as the storage connects to the PC as MTP most public data recovery tools won't work which is another safety net. Who would have though a phone with no SD slot would be the better option

Your best bet is Cerberus, survives factory reset
I just saw this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes#Nexus_4
In rare circumstances, the Nexus4 may get into a state where it may not boot at all after the battery is drained (even into recovery). If this happens, the only way to restore it is to disassemble the back of the phone and unplug/plug the battery connector.

This means you have to void your warranty and open up your phone, so it's not just a soft brick.
I think more people should be aware of this before thinking OMG Ubuntu is awesome, let me try it on my phone! I was lucky enough not to encounter the above problem before wiping ubuntu and returning to android. The developer preview was extremely disappointing anyway, as its nowhere near at a usable state since the phone radio doesn't even work. It's more of a GUI design preview than anything else really.

Usually phones have a protection to avoid full discharge, but I guess Ubuntu doesn't.

It half worked for me; calling worked, but I couldn't get text messages to work for some reason, and of course data isn't supported yet. Anyway, I didn't stay on Ubuntu for very long.

Had that happen to me once with an lg optimus g. Had to take it apart and unplug battery. You can open it and unplug the battery without leaving any evidence behind. So you don't necessarily void warranty if you are careful.

Texting doesn't use wifi either. It just uses the gsm network. Unless you're referring to WhatsApp texts and the like.

How do you get rid of that annoying message everytime you try to increase the volume on your headset. You know the one that tells you gonna hurt your ears. It seems you have to click OK everytime.

I'm still within the 14 day purchase and want to return my note 3. The problem is I rooted and got the custom status padlock. I've tried every single way to fix it posted on this forum and google. Aside from the root problem I can not deal with the wifi issues and low earpiece during phone calls that I've been getting. Can anybody here point in the right direction. I have full root access and running MJ5.
The goal is to hardbrick and not let the custom status screen turn on.
Any help is appreciated thanks guys.

Yes sir, I rooted with Kingo. I was on MJ5, i accidently took the OTA when i connected to Wifi. This is the only method that worked for me. Like Potatoman said, complete the procedure and padlock will erase and everything will be squeaky clean like the day you opened the phone box.
