best is to buy a spare original battery unless you are carrying other devices.

thanks for the info

no wonder my PC always pop-up say "your device can performs faster, please connect USB 3.0 blah blah blah"

so it must be enabled on the android device before connected to the pc
*
this happen only when you plug in a USB3.0 device into a USB2.0 port which your computer has a USB3.0 port. If your device is USB2.0 and you plug into USB2.0, no such message come out.

I think it is default USB3.0 coz when i plug into a USB3.0 port, the transferring speed is definitely faster compared to USB2.0. Tested copy a MP4 video into the phone memory - 433MB in 13 seconds. Dun think USB2.0 will be that fast.

Try connect your Note 3 to a USB3.0 port.

Some updates on battery life. Have been using the phone extensively to setup my homescreen, downloading wallpapers and icon packs. Seems like the battery is getting better after each charge.

yes, after the third full charge, my Note 3 battery life improves quite noticeably.

Btw, after factory reset, now cannot install the Samsung Galaxy Lifestyle app anymore. Can't find it at Play Store in the phone and Play Store at PC web browser indicated it has been installed. rclxub.gif But to me, most importantly is the USD45 Evernote Premium and Dropbox (now burnt though). sweat.gif

I think evernote and dropbox you can direct claim with downloading the apps form playstore. I activate the promo without the galaxy lifestyle app also.
*
yes, i know, already claim the Evernote Premium. But the Dropbox burnt coz after sign in with existing Dropbox account, the capacity not increased and the existing expiry date of the free Samsung Dropbox space from Note II not extended. shakehead.gif

I notice a lot review site can do that, but I had no idea to snap with the Air Command ON. It just disappear when snap.

ur observation is absolutely spot on~! the first time i use the spen on a brand new note 3, it takes a bit of effort to drag the spen around. but after prolong usage, when there is oil residue on the screen, it is such a smooth experience. but after wiping the screen clean using a damp cloth, the friction comes back again

i guess samsung designed it that way to mimic real world writing where there is a little friction.  rclxms.gif

you should try different stylus tips - they are not the same. After applying the Nillkin SP from tskhor yesterday, the original S Pen tip is having too much friction to write on the SP, so i took out the bundled spare stylus tips and tested a few. Some are not so rubberised and will write very "slippery" on the SP. So apparently the bundle stylus tips are not actually just spare pieces - they have different characteristic to suit your preference and the SP. icon_idea.gif

Noobi3 of course understand. His statement is just being sarcastic to those who fret over root n warranty. As said before if one concern about warranty dont root. Even older samsung models if get upgraded to 4.3 will faced similar Knox security issues.
i think samsung is not interested in pleasing the mod community as they view it as minority group. Infact 99.9% of my friends/ colleague used their phone out of box. Root is foreign language to them. Even my 3 chidren all well educated ( a doctor, financial analyst n IT software engineer) dont even bother to tinker at all with their phones. To them i am just a crazy old guy who had nothing better to do than tinkering with phones.
*
since now there is Helium for transfer saved games without the need to root, I think I can forgo the rooting for Note 3. The only reason left for me to root is to use Titanium Backup to transfer all data intact and fast from old phone to new phone, custom ROMs are just optional extra that i will try sometime when bored with stock theme.

Have been busy yesterday transferring data from Note II to Note 3, Nexus 7 2012 to Nexus 7 2013 WiFi and Nexus 7 2013 WiFi to Nexus 7 2013 LTE. rclxub.gif Having root with Titanium Backup is really making life much easier comparing to Helium.

Not sure about you guys but last I used Helium it does not detect which back up group instead can only back up by apps name...

Anything i missed?
