My phone heats up like crazy, especially on data, and the battery drains much quicker than the note 2. HOWEVER I found out the source of the problem. If anyone is suffering the same fate, check google+ and dropbox and disable those damn automatic uploads!

I used the note 2 for almost a year, the first time you get the note 3 and turn it on you'd go WOW. The screen is just that much sharper, especially on such a huge screen. It's so much snappier, although you won't notice it in whatsapp and fb for some reason Camera is much improved, especially at night, the thing actually focuses properly, as compared to the note 2 which just keeps searching for AF lock. Battery however.. after 2 days, I find that the note 3 is more power hungry than the note 2 This could be cause I had a custom rom on the note 2 though, I was getting 6/7 hours of screen on time every day, with 18 hours of it being on. With the note 3 I'm only getting 4/5 hours HOWEVER, this is still my third day with the phone, and maybe it's cause I use the camera a lot throughout the day, and now I tend to watch youtube videos cause of the LTE. So there you have it, a simple comparison

Charges at about the same rate, unless you start using it. I haven't tried charging with a powerbank though..

I got mine in shah alam for rm80

Having the same problem, I cant even find samsung galaxy music I found out that its a phone though

Does anyone use a pebble with the note 3? Whenever pebble is on in accessibility settings, the stock browser says "Page Loading" and "Page Loaded" for EVERY SINGLE PAGE. Disabling TTS doesn't help at all and this is becoming a pain, having to use the Chrome browser.. Anyone facing the same issue as me?

It's such a pain Especially when the stock browser seems so much snappier than chrome.. Well we don't exactly have much choice, do we?

It is indeed worse for me, especially with LTE

The white gets dirty REALLY fast.

Anyway, did more battery tests with this phone, turns out it IS indeed worse than the Note 2, but not a huge difference as I initially suspected. Still monstrous battery life compared to the HTC One/S4
