Just got mine yesterday but quite disappointed with the stability of the phone as mentioned by some others here. There is some random FC (iirc, both Google apps) even before i started installing my paid apps. Camera app also got heywire after i test-shoot a picture of my breakfast this morning - all the on-screen control disappear, no effect on touch. The power and home button not responsive at all but the screen show the camera is functioning - i.e. it still view live image, not freeze. I just put it back in my pocket and start with my breakfast. After 10 mins later when i finish my breakfast and took it out to check, it went back to home screen and all seems well. Looks like a freaking lag. Play NFS and it hang during startup... need to pull battery. Btw, set is brand new sealed set from SEP before some say i bought a clone unit.

Restore the data from my Note II with Helium Premium. Will monitor few more days and do a factory reset to purge it and start from scratch again. My first Note-series with issue right from day 1.

But i do note the mobile internet speed is freaking fast - on the same location on H+, my Note II can only do 8-9Mbps but the Note 3 can go up to 18+Mbps. Love the leather back case texture but dun quite like the bright chromed side frame. The gun-metal frame on grey Note II is much nicer. Screen is fantastic too.

haha yeah, worth my rm24

That's early adopter's syndrome...

sorry noob question here,
how to stop the apps auto update???
please help, thanks...

never experienced what you mentioned above.
try factory reset I guess..

I am also early adopter for Note I and II but never encounter problem.

Play Store -> Settings -> Auto-update apps -> Do not auto-update apps

google play store settings

Try factory reset and don't restore anything from your old Note 2.

I didn't face anything as you mention. It is solid stable to me, or else you already seen I repeating complain already at here.

all else fails, demand 1-to-1 exchange

Cynox, hows thing?

Cynox try factory reset. My unit perform flawlessly perfect straight out of the box. I don't have those issues you mentioned. I did not even factory reset it. Strange some units got such problem.

I just added the official samsung app freebies link to post 5.

Direct all further questions there. Thanks confuzan

No la wei !! been a Note 1 user since Nov 2011 Swipe right to left or vice versa will lead to taking screeshot only i thought

many thanks bro

The first FC happen within 1 hour i turned on the device, after i updated some system google apps. IIRC, it was the Maps app. Long before i restore anything from my Note 2.


Will definitely do a factory reset but right now try to do more testing and exploration first, maybe for another few days at least.

Good news to sports ppl, it can detect the Adidas miCoach HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) without problem. I got the Adidas miCoach Pacer bundle - the HRM is detected but can't connect to the Stride Sensor.
