hi all, can anyone teach me how to xfer file from pc to note 3 using usb mass storage?

cant find usb mass storage setting in phone, once i connect usb with pc, and phone show media device (MTP) , my pc only detect sm-9005.
*
You have to transfer via mtp. Google (not Samsung) removed mass storage mode from android 4.x onwards.

heat is definitely much more noticeable in Note 3 than Note 2.
most near the camera area, correct?
*
Yes. My widget shows temp readings over time and it spikes during usage to 55+

Bro..your unit still heating like day 1? I have been using it extensively on Web browsing and camera shooting also didn't heat up like yours. Different between white and black  tongue.gif  Jz kidding

[attachmentid=3651718][attachmentid=3651720]
Btw..Some update on my battery life after 2nd charge cycle. My usage is Web browsing, camera shooting, whatsapp, fb, viber, some voice call and sms. Any the same time I have auto sync for fb, email, weather, friend caster, Google account, Samsung account and all the time I'm connected to data. Hopefully after few charge cycle I can have some higher SOT
*
4hr SOT should be minimum. Any less is considered bad.

Same as the one i got.

You may have to shave off a little bit of the usb cavity to fit some usb 2 charging cables.

Hmmn u guys know with the spec like note3 heat is to be expected right...

It's more than i expected. At least it cools down quickly. I'm surprised it goes above 55c quite often. At least I'm giving temp readouts unlike wad happened in the early days of the s4 thread where everyone just said "it's hot".

got my white unit AND nexus 7 (2013) from aaronac in ss15 subang jaya on saturday.
overall buying experience was so-so only.

the older brother is steady, but the younger one is like a pondan, told me that once box is opened, cannot return/change.  doh.gif

since i had not paid, farked him until his older bro came out and apologize.

took my time to check, first for scratches and other physical defects. then used *#00*# to make sure everything was fine. forced them to give free diamond sp and cheap casing for the fuss that pondan brother made... thumbup.gif

decided not to get microsd card as it is insecure and data loss is high risk.

here's a brief summary (changed from using iPhone 5).
this is my first android phone so pls forgive me.

1) bigger screen (but not comfortable to hold. mirrored myself and it looked silly holding such a big slab next to the ear).
2) s-pen looks and feel cheap. similar to holding matchstick.
3) removing s-pen is clumsy bcos finger will touch the part of the screen near to the s-pen slot.
4) leather feel is so tacky! wondered why they didn't spray the leather smell on it as well.
5) overall interface not so smooth as iPhone 5. still got lag at the homescreen and scrolling.
6) multi-window is cumbersome bcos of smallish screen.
7) action memo, scrap book, and s-find seems great.

...to be continued

hope note4 can have 64 bit proc, s-touch (like touchID) and gold color brows.gif
*
If you have problems with 1 then i guess you can remain with a 4" device so you can look magical...

Will wait until 5s reached here. Maybe sell off or give to my staff.

But after watching tutorial, s pen functions are interesting.

Well the s pen is the reason for the note's existence. Anyway i hope you will enjoy it more after using the s pen.

Please add yourself via the form in post 4 and read page 1 since it's your first android.

Working under hot sun makes face very sweaty and oily.

Camera seems great. Will test out more...
