AmmoShaf I think you misunderstood Maxis. I am very sure the 6 months restriction is for porting - meaning you cannot port out to another telco within 6 months. But you are free to sign up any contract/plan under Maxis. That's what quite a few bro done here these few days - port out from DiGi and sign up Maxis bundle for Note 3.

buy from Maxis also get you more than 1 year Samsung warranty.

You rooted and install Titanium Backup? Rooting alone won't have any effect on the "whatever" counter?

not rooted can run Titanium Backup? If without rooting, it can restore apps+data, then it is good enough for me. Else, headache to migrate data from Note II.

Great info, din know about Helium coz all the while using Titanium. Just bought Helium Premium. With the increasing restrictive access to Root, a Titanium Backup-like backup app without the need of root is very important to backup/migrate data.

Out of stock lah... bro.

yes, he already stated in the subsequent post, that TiBu can't run without root. Try Helium as suggested by others and uncle Benny.

but can't see the free Gear logo there already? I think there was a free Gear logo there on Sept 25.

PM FallenOut to help you to register the warranty. The contest only open to customers bought the Note 3 from Selected Samsung outlet, eBay is not in the list.

Kiasu and Kiasi.

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.

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

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.

This looks familiar. Jusco Taman U?

mine dun have volume problem but while listening to music, occasionally it will pause a second or two like there is some notifications come in but when i checked, nothing.

notice the screen will dim itself sometime if i am reading some web page or even tried just at the homescreen. I did not use auto brightness and set the Screen Mode to standard/pro photo, still same auto-dimming (battery life more than 70%). Did i miss any setting?

i have hell lot other minor issues too. Just did a factory reset 1 hour ago, decided to do it sooner than later since got some spare time now. Thanks God, so far everything seems perfect already, before i start restoring from Helium. You may want to try a factory reset too.

Better do first lor if got free time.

the problem is some random FC happened before i even restoring any of my data. Now seems like ok already, no FC so far. Actually it is not uncommon for those ROM-flashaholic coz sometime flashing custom rom also will have such problem - random FC, instability, etc but they will go away after another new flash of the same rom and factory reset.
