i really not happy with the phone speaker when talking in the phone.
really hard to hear other calling voice.
anyone have this issues as well ?

you need to move it around your ear till the right spot

Guys and z ultranians, just two days of usage, and updated to latest firmware on day of purchase, my ZU now will not wake up from sleep.

SOD? Ive noticed a minor bug where i couldn't open up my small widgets, so i restart the phone. Thats when i noticed the so called fake hang, where the light turns on but black screen. I left for 5 mins and everything is back to normal.

I rechecked my display settings; had Optimize screen off, and auto adjust on. After it went to sleep....... No more. Black screen, no light, no notification light, no vibrate...nothing. Its dead.

Its been 30 mins, hard reset, pressed button 50 times, long press, nothing..

Update: it suddenly vibrated and now i got notification light blinking in blue every 1 second, but still totally black screen, no backlight and no response to any button pressed.

Help?

How to solve the issue

• Force restart the phone - either take out the SIM card to let the phone auto restart itself or press and hold the red button beside SIM card and wait until 3 vibrate, the phone is switch off.
  
• The fake hang still exist when the phone switching on, as usual wait +/-1 min to let the phone load in.
  
• Tick back Optimised backlight and immediate shutdown the phone.
  
• Now start the phone back, you will notice the fake hang during startup no longer happen.
  
• No SOD also when locked and unlocked the screen.
  

Good Luck!

Really dwarfs even the Note 3. I'm losing appetite when I see Touchwiz..

Hey guys, quick question. I downloaded an app where you can use the volume rocker as shutter button like ios6/7, if I am underwater, can it be pressed? I heard that with some phones, key pressing underwater can cause water to flow into the phone through the keys itself. Is this true with ZU aswell?

Also, swimming pool with some salt and chlorine is fine right? Not the ocean..

I actually kinda like Samsung's notification drawer. I install Apex launcher to get rid of the TW launcher,  root and titanium backup to freeze bloatware.

And I love smartstay

Hmm.. As much as ppl complaint about TW, but what is the point of getting a Samsung device especially Note 3 if u gonna get rid of TW, because most of the special features is in the TW.

As for smartstay, you can use app such as gravity screen, in which it can detect you are looking at the screen and prevent from turn off based on the position of the phone you are holding..

Using XZU. Bad?

Wahhhh?!?!? That's a blady good deal. The best free gift anyone can offer. Kudos to DiGi on their sweet deal, but too bad, they have the worst line ever.

You have a serious pinkish tint in your camera. Remind me of sane issue that affect older Galaxy phones. Try update firmware to see any improvement. I am usually blind to camera shots but obviously something seriously wrong with your camera
