For the Note series, the main differentiator is the S-Pen using a Wacom active digitizer, and Samsung's nicely packaged software to take advantage of it across the OS. I personally like the workflow enhancement you get when your device can actually replace the paper notebook, so I am very keen for active digitizer devices, of which currently only the Note series has it in the smartphone/phablet form factor. Larger devices with active digitizers (Wacom or N-Trig) tend to be very expensive (RM5k++) tablets/convertibles from notebook manufacturers.


First off, I want to put things in perspective. I must state that we can no longer think of our devices as "phones" but COMPUTERS. Therefore, since computers have been around for the last 60 years or so, there is nothing "new" or "innovative" to expect from our devices, except for "faster, better, cheaper". Maybe not cheaper but we have seen ASP (Average Selling Price) falling across the board.

And because it is a computer, you have to treat it as such, ie regular backups, some periodic cleansing/factory reset and practice safe computing habits.

Note that of course it is not to be compared with the CISC type computers of the Intel x86 desktop/notebook genre, but it is still a computer nonetheless of the RISC variety, specifically the ARM family, with a huge number of variations across manufacturers. The focus of ARM is for performance per watt, which allows low power computing on the go which has been the dream of computing since its dawn.


Anything else, feel free to contribute.

Information will be added as it becomes available.

QUOTE
nellymosserFri 11:38
This is a fairly ridiculous review - and in fairness, not very helpful. The article seems peppered with your own personal tastes. We're not reading this to see if it suits you, we're reading it to see if it suits us. It is for us to decide on the leather look. And your comment, "Most people will never use multi-window, as nine times out of 10 you'll find you're using it for the sake of it." Actually, is for us to decide if we like the multi-window option or not to - Pinterest/Facebook/Twitter users, people who actually do like to look at links on the web but not lose their threads - already find it useful in Notes 1 & 2.

Instead of your own personal tastes, how about telling us what we need to know? What about battery life? That battery sounds massive. Is it? How about telling us about sound quality? Connectivity? Any changes to the home page? How it feels to hold? Can you drop it? Does it have gorrilla glass? What is the point/function of the octo core - how good is the super HD filming?

Different people want different things from a smartphone - that's why there are so many. How about you try to think about your spectrum of readers - your customers - when you write. At least that something that Samsung is trying to do here.

QUOTE
.....These smartphones are all top of the range devices, and the bar has been set extremely high. There are very few perceivable differences between the four of them and personal preference might be the biggest factor that makes you prefer one over the other. What we do know is that with such great options from a wide variety of manufacturers, the competition will compel OEMs to make even better devices which is a win for you, the consumer.

It’s a battle royale, and these are the most latest and most advanced smartphones in the world.

...The S-Pen is what actually makes the Note lineup so special, and Samsung has surely provided the Note 3 with even more S-Pen compatible apps, handwriting-recognition features and drawing tools.

There is also one more thing different about the new Note - it arguably looks better than ever (if though not everybody here at the office agrees). Samsung has its entire back to look like leather and the Note 3 looks just amazing....


CNET - Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 has new leather-and-stitching look and more multitasking (hands-on)
QUOTE
.....As phones get bigger and tablets get more ubiquitous, it's good to see a device do something different that actually justifies the increased size. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3's multitasking features are particularly well-thought-out -- but whether you think it looks good in leather is up to you.

Used to be a diehard iPhone fan since 07. Switched to android in 11 and I love it.

The difference between android and iOS: iOS is like living in a nice hotel. You don't have a lot of choice but it looks nice and easy to use.

Android is like buying your own home. Buy an really nice home (android device) and you will probably love it. You can change and customize it however you want. It's yours! You can also buy cheap.
The consensus among thread members (they have the Xperia Z Ultra as well either currently or previously) is that the Note 3 screen is better than the Xperia Z Ultra's screen.

Everything about this device is blazing fast. Opening apps, camera,

The S800 proc really turbo charge Note3. Strange i don't experience any heat issue as well.

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  hmm.gif 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 sad.gif 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  cry.gif 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  blush.gif

benny888,Sep 27 2013, 11:05 AM

Those who have queried earlier this Note3 is a fantastic piece of gadget. I had never love the SPen as much as it now. Camera is great n snappy. Performance I can say is the best I have used n even better than my other XZU. I have posted benchmarks vs XZU yesterday. Those who think XZU is too big this phone just right size for comfort pocketability.
Third day using it n yet to find a single problem or bug.
Battery life as of now easily match Note2 n appears slightly better. Can only give better assessment after few more days full charge n usage
However using app galaxy charging current I only recorded 1200mAh input on original cable, htc, Sony, blackberry cable.( using ipad 2.1A charger). Yet to use the original charger.  Similar figure using my blackberry Playbook car charger (2A). On Note2 n S4 I recorded 1800mAh.

A human being can only read 'so much' of text at any given time.

Same reason why I don't find it a problem when I'm reading on either my phones. When comparing my current Note III, iPhone 5 and XZU in terms of reading experience, they are pretty much the same.

Just that more scrolling is required on iPhone 5, and picture viewing on web pages are just a bit nicer on XZU. Other than this, the Note III excels as a good in-betweener for what we can call 'the PERFECT screen size' in the phone world now.

benny888,Sep 26 2013, 11:38 AM

After using this Note3 more than a day, I have decided to use it as my main phone n relegate the XZU as secondary phone/mini tablet.
Initially I was concerned about its smaller display size but this worry ended up unfounded. The Note3 is a very snappy phone n I find myself using the SPen often vs Note2. The SPen is a vast improvement over Note2.
I am using Holo launcher n Spen still work magnificently with it
Yet to find a single bug with the phone

> BEWARE OF SCAMS/CONS/FAKES <

A word about the terms "AP" and "Ori" (not the best choice of terms, but this is Bolehland blush.gif )
A real Samsung (or any manufacturer's) device is Original whether it's SME or AP. We get our terminology confused due to the use of the term "AP" here whereas the correct term is "Parallel Import" or "Grey Market". And again due to the proliferation of counterfeit goods in this part of the world, the term "original" is also misappropriated to denote "Genuine".

SME vs AP is simply a matter of distribution channel for a Genuine product. You can also get "original" counterfeits since it comes directly from the manufacturer of said counterfeit.

*PLEASE READ POST 6 ABOUT Samsung's SIM-locking* This is Samsung's attempt at reducing parallel import sets that could impact a specific country or region's sales revenues.

From Merriam-Webster:
Definition of COUNTERFEIT
1: made in imitation of something else with intent to deceive => LYN's historical topic on the subject - AP, Ori, Water

Pics of Counterfeits
Or perhaps more politely, "unbranded clones"

Charging
YOU CAN USE your existing microUSB 2.0 cables. Please see pic under Specs/USB 3 in post 3. Just plug it into the right portion of the connector.

Galaxy Charging Current (GCC) - from Note 2 thread, but still applicable
LINK:The original XDA thread describing what it does (from S3 thread)
LINK:The other XDA thread describing it in the Note 2 thread
Get it from here: LINK:GalaxyChargingCurrent APK

The Play Store versions:
Galaxy Charging Current Lite
Galaxy Charging Current Pro - ONLY USD 0.68 !!!

This is the best way of detecting incoming charge current for your Galaxy Note 2 (also works on the S3). It does not seem to work on other devices. It reads a file here /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_avg
This provides an objective method to compare charging variances, and will help to narrow down slow charging issues. Very often it is the cable, or a combination of a lousy charger with the cable. The Note needs a charger that outputs at least 1.5A (with GCC readings of 1400 and above) for good charging speeds.

After extensive testing by forumers, and most notably brotan, good chargers output 1500 and above. brotan has a supply of DUAL USB, DUAL 2A output chargers that have been tested working by several forumers. He also has original cables that can carry 2A current properly.

Read brotan's extensive writeup on batteries and charging - brotan

If you experience slow charging (ie normal is 2+ hours, anything longer than 3 hours is slow)

QUOTE
I knew something was wrong when it took my phone 6 hours to charge from 22% to fully charged on the stock kernel, so I had my carrier swap my data cable. Swapping the data cable didn't fix the random slow charging issue. If you view the battery stats under settings, your phone will indicate what kind of source it's getting its charge from. I discovered sometimes when you plug your phone in via the stock travel AC adapter, your phone detects it as a USB port. It's not the charger that is the problem, but how Sammy designed the charger port or an error during the assembly process. I found a work around to avoid the phone thinking it's being plugged into a USB port. Once I initially lineup the data cable with the charger port, very very gently push down on the data cable as you fully insert it into the charger port. If you don't do so, it's usually a hit or miss when it comes down to what the phone will detect between AC and USB mode. This is the first phone that I own that seems to have this issue. Every since I've figured out what's been happening, I've been able without fail to avoid the slow charging issue.
Note: Use GCC whenever you plug in and you can determine immediately whether it is charging as AC or USB. USB will show a reading of 460 only. Re-insert your cable until it reads above 1000.

S-Pen usage
CODE
perror,Sep 26 2013, 11:19 PM
Hi guys, just thought to share some info on the handwriting bit. It seems like the panel to manage the handwriting settings is either gone or hidden. However, you can use the "Direct pen input" function to bring up the older type of handwriting input panel which allows for faster writing compared to the new handwriting panel in the S-note app.

Been using the "Direct pen input" and it's a dream to use :)

Just thought I share this bit and credit goes to a member in XDA-dev forum for pointing out the alternative :)

S-View Cover
CODE

shockk,Oct 1 2013, 06:25 PM

Hey everyone and TS [@joytest]

Wanna share my experience and some info with the original SView cover for the Note III.

I tested my white Note III with a black SView cover and the auto lock/unlock works including the SView feature but ONLY limited to when you are receiving calls. Everything else does NOT work unfortunately - like when u close the cover, the display on the SView window is blank.

Now after changing to a white SView cover instead, every SView function works perfectly.

So if u have a black or white Note III, u should get the same coloured SView the same as your Note III. As the other SView cover colours are not out yet besides black and white, I'm hoping that Samsung fixes this issue in a newer firmware.

Happy shopping for your SView cover ! :D

CODE

shockk,Oct 1 2013, 06:39 PM

Yes. In each SView cover, there is a special sensor with microchip that allows the phone to detect the presence of an original SView cover. The magnet is still present on the cover though.  That's why those 3rd party covers with windows can't work because they lack this Samsung microchip.  Only the Note III has this 'security' feature and not in S4 SView covers.

From there you can set your vibration intensity for each different types of events. In fact I find that Note 3 vibration is too strong till I can hear it instead of feeling it. I have lower down the intensity. Not sure how strong you want.

every time i check my battery, i had discovered that the wifi is always awake although i off it. after google bout it, seems like it is a new feature in android 4.3 to help get better accuracy on our location by scanning for nearby wifi. more about it in the link below and how to disable that feature...

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2422689,00.asp

essentially, for note 3
Go Settings --> Connection tab --> tap Wi-Fi --> tap menu button --> tap advanced --> uncheck Scanning always available

this should turn off wifi entirely... sorry if this is known, new to 4.3 so jz sharing what i had found out... cheers~~~

mohamadfazli,Oct 1 2013, 06:48 PM

BB9900 to Note 3 is a big move. Because..
1 - you moving from a keyboard to touch screen. You move to any touchscreen keyboard, you'll face the problem.
2 - you moving from a one-hand to a big phablet. One hand is not easy. But samsung has one-hand operation settings that you can use to help you do one-hand operations.
3 - you moving from an email-focused phone via BIS/BES to all-in smartphones..

Reading manual probably not gonna help much. But at the end of the day, you just need to get used to it....

**CAVEAT**

All Samsung Knox enabled phones have a warranty counter that CANNOT BE RESET at this time.
ALL FLASHING AND ROOTING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, and you warranty can be dishonored by Samsung.

===========================================



Introduction to Rooting - Part 1 - Theory
Much of this post is compiled and written up by me based on reviews of various sources around the net and other sections of LYN. Sources and Contributors are duly acknowledged. If you wish to reproduce this writeup please PM me that you are doing so and acknowledge me as well. Thanks.

A bit of evangelism before we begin:
10 reasons why Android is still better than iOS - AndroidAuthority - 2013-01-17
Read the comments for a feel of what people think after having read the article.

Since we're actually going to discuss rooting, here is an article for you to understand why your phone is not supplied rooted out of the box:
Why Doesn’t Android Come Rooted? - 2013-03-12

Rooting for Beginners - some general explanations and understanding

The simple, non-sexy, non-flashy, techie answer: root gives you administrator (ie God) access to your device.
Root DOES NOT change your phone in any other way. No speed-ups, no slowdowns, no other changes or magic. But it OPENS THE DOOR to magic icon_rolleyes.gif

Other answers using different metaphors:
Easiest Explanation EVER To Explain Root Vs Jailbreak
Think of it like the Matrix: Jailbreaking is comparable to what Morpheus could do. He could bend the rules of the system to overcome certain restrictions, but was still bound to its rules. Rooting is what Neo could do. Not only could he bend the rules, he could completely break them


LINK:Difference between ios Jailbreaking and Android Rooting
an excerpt:
Now while IOS users might consider jailbreaking their iPhone the same thing as Android users rooting their Android phones, there is a HUGE difference. In fact, you can't even compare jailbreaking to rooting, and here's why.
Android out of the box allows users to install 3rd party apps (also known as sideloading), already allows you to install themes, and even allows you to install applications directly from your SD card or internal memory of your device. Everything that IOS users hope to accomplish with jailbreaking their device is already included as basic functionality within Android.

LINK:Another article explaining Rooting from Android Authority

Does Rooting Void warranty?
For Samsung phones, it's a yes and no answer. From the terms and conditions, rooting/flashing will void your warranty, but Samsung Malaysia is not strict about this. So far there have not been cases of Samsung rejecting rooted phones, but please be prudent and perform a Triangle Away counter reset and flash stock firmware before turning in your phone for warranty.

UPDATE: The above paragraph applied to phones that arrived before Knox became a feature of Samsung firmware. Currently, due to Knox and the Knox Warranty Flag (see Download mode pic below), it is HIGHLY LIKELY that Samsung will declare your WARRANTY VOID.

Triangle Away DOES NOT WORK ON KNOX PHONES.


If you live in the USA, rooting (of phones only) is legal as proclaimed by the Librarian of Congress, so you shouldn't have any issues with warranty. The US legal system has not clearly defined what a "tablet" is, so you can't root tablets. We don't know the case for "phablets" laugh.gif

Can rooting damage your phone?
It is a one in a million chance. If you are afraid of this slim chance, don't root.
This usually happens due to PEBKAC issues. Therefore, if you are prone to PEBKAC, do not proceed. Please google PEBKAC for your OWN UNDERSTANDING AND PROTECTION.
If you do not suffer from PEBKAC, then please ensure 1 very important thing: your download is NOT corrupt. For Windows, use this tool: HashTab by implbits
Make sure that your file MD5 matches the one from the host site. If the MD5 matches, your download is clean, and you may proceed.

There may be cases where you will not have the MD5 from the host site. If that is the case, use this tool: http://www.7-zip.org/
Install it. Select default options, and then run "Test archive" from the right click menu. Passing the test will give you a good indication your download is not corrupt.

What is the Flash Counter and Triangle Away?
There is a counter in the phone that checks for flashing of custom ROMs. If you have flashed a custom kernel or ROM, the counter will increase. When you get into Download mode, it will show that the counter has increased. This tells Samsung that you have modified with your phone.
You can reset this counter by using Triangle Away.

Triangle Away DOES NOT WORK ON KNOX PHONES.


What is this about "locked bootloaders" ?
As you have seen from the writeup above, the bootloader starts your device. In Samsung, it also contains some checking code to determine whether you have a modified recovery and/or kernel. However, Samsung did not lock down the bootloader. A locked down bootloader means you can't root, can't change recovery, kernel or ROM. We all fervently hope Samsung continues in this fine tradition.

Samsung has now locked bootloaders due to security requirements of Knox.

Other manufacturers also practice bootloader locking as a so-called "security measure" to protect, ostensibly, the user. See link above about why your phone is not rooted out of the box. Here is a link to a post by an XDA forumer about bootloaders for Samsung, HTC and Sony.

Also see this post (2013-03-08) by DooMLoRD, a recognized XDA developer, on his steps for unlocking the Sony bootloader. Warnings quoted from his post :
QUOTE
Quote:
For Xperia™ devices released 2013 or later (for example Xperia™ Z and Xperia™ ZL), the SD card of your device will be formatted and you will lose all content (for example photos, music, videos) when you unlock the boot loader.
DRM keys WILL be lost forever

So we should thank Samsung for being more mod-friendly than the other manufacturers.

To root phone :

1. Install first USB phone drivers in PC : Just google in web for Samsung USB phone drivers - plenty of links
2. Download the CF Root file from XDA :Post # 3 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
3. Copy this zip file to PC and EXtract the zip file in PC
4. From the folder you will see the Odin 1.85 .exe file and the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5
5. Switch off phone. Boot to download mode - simultaneously press HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER : than select volume UP - you will be in download mode ( screenshot similar to above except you see OFFICIAL n 0X0)
6. Connect phone to PC. Wait short while and allow the PC to detect phone - you will see installion progress , probably a half minute job
7. Once installation complete, move to the folder where you extracted the zip file
8. RUN Odin.exe
9. DON'T touch any of the default settings. Choose PDA and browse to folder where you extracted the CF Root.tar.md5 file - select it
10. Just press START
11. The root file will be flash and process will complete in less than half a minute

News about Samsung and region-locking their phones

ItemLinkArticle DateContributor
Updated News AndroidCentral - Here's what's going on with the Galaxy Note 3's region-locking 2013-09-27 confuzan
Updated News [UPDATE] Samsung’s vague official statement 2013-09-26 Xeactorz
Initial News Samsung’s vague official statement regarding Galaxy Note 3′s regional SIM lock 2013-09-26 Xeactorz

CODE
Sammobile - The Update text:
[b]UPDATE:[/b] While Samsung’s wordings aren’t very clear, it seems that the Galaxy Note 3 will actually be usable everywhere, but not before it is activated with a SIM from the region it was bought in. Once you activate it/use it with a local SIM, you’ll be able to visit other regions/travel abroad and use it with SIM cards from that particular region without issues. This is likely to reduce grey imports by retailers and those who want to make a quick buck by importing the device and selling it at higher prices, as the retailer would have to open the box to activate it before selling it, which would make it less attractive to a buyer. However, until Samsung makes an even clearer statement, you probably should refrain from importing even a Note 3 that has been activated in its home region.

CODE
AndroidCentral's article excerpt:
[b]Region-locke​d, except for when it's not[/b]
[i]The region-lock only kicks in if you first "activate" it with a SIM from outside the list of approved countries.[/i]

As it happens, the crucial factor is which SIM card you first use when you set up the phone. Lars from AllAboutSamsung.de was given information to this effect when he got in touch with Samsung Germany, and it's since been confirmed by Nirave Gondhia, who got his hands on additional Note 3s to test the theory. A second Note 3, first "activated" with a UK SIM, could then be used with a UAE SIM — the same one rejected by the first device.

(This also explains what happened with our own unlocked Note 3. It was never region-locked, as we used our EE (UK) SIM to run through the initial setup.)

So the region-lock only kicks in if you first "activate" it — i.e., switch on the phone and run through setup — with a SIM from outside the list of approved countries. It's probably a measure designed to ensnare grey (unauthorized) importers of Samsung phones. And it means you should be very careful about which SIM card you use to activate any "unlocked" Samsung phone from now on.



SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE REGION LOCKING AFFAIR
QUOTE
confuzan,Sep 28 2013, 11:49 PM

joytest perhaps you want to post this article up regarding region locking.

http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-note-...-details-emerge

summary:-
-note3 and other samsung flagships manufactured after july will have region locking in EU and US.
-booting up for the first time in this phone must use EU/US sim cards. after the first activation, it will be sim unlocked.
-booting up for the first time with a sim card from non EU/US operators will lock the phone. need to go to samsung service center to unlock.

what this means:-
-samsung wants to prevent parallel import from EU/US to other regions
-AP set from EU/US will most likely be activated already before it can be used in other regions.

Great job Andrew on the photo comparison. biggrin.gif

Yes, I do agree the white balance - finally Samsung has got it right. It has taken some time, but they have done it.

Now I don't need to post-process my shots before uploading to Facebook etc anymore! thumbup.gif

Well, I am quite impressed with the slo-mo video. (the speed is good but not the quality)
It is really slow motion! My monitor is capable of OC to 120hz.
Thanks to Note3 video I can quite confirm my monitor OC is real and no frame skipping.

Video below shoot with Note3 @ 720p with slow motion feature

Useful Applications and Tutorials

One piece of advice. PLEASE CHECK APP PERMISSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING. An app should not have permissions beyond what its stated functionality should be. For example, a Wallpaper app should have NO PERMISSIONS. A Launcher will naturally have access to permissions for Calling and SMS and Phone Hardware (vibrate settings etc).

If you install MyHotSexyGirlLiveWallpaper with access to Calls, Network Status and SMS, then .... whistling.gif

LINK:About Mobile Antivirus - 2013-04-18
Excerpt:
QUOTE
Semantics of Fear
Applications claiming to be “antivirus” are merely detecting what has the potential to be malware, something that a developer of an application may have snuck into the software code that is meant to steal data or interact with the device in such a way as to cause it to send premium SMS messages at the victim’s expense. This is more correctly defined as being a Trojan or form of spyware, but given the years of conditioning by security firms “Virus” sounds a lot scarier.

Common Senseless
Although these detection capabilities may be marginally useful to the end user, they do not by any stretch of the imagination fit the definition of an “antivirus” or replace common sense – that is to say, being cautious about which applications you download and then carefully reviewing the permissions for each application if you do install it.

Does that “Barney Wallpaper” app you download really need access to your contacts, call history and location?


A link about the so-called "massive vulnerability on 99% of Androids"
Keep your pants on: A reality check about this latest Android malware scare - 2013-07-08
Excerpt:
QUOTE
That's certainly the case with our latest doom and gloom story -- a fright-inducing app signature vulnerability brought into the public eye by a new security company called Bluebox (which, like almost every company that releases scary-sounding info about Android threats, is a business built around the sales of Android security software -- go figure).

In the meantime, as is usually the case in these scenarios, there's absolutely no cause for alarm. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Whether you're surfing the Web on your PC or getting online from your phone, a little caution and some common sense will go a long way in keeping you safe from the big, bad virus monsters lurking around our virtual worlds.

Photo was taken in golf mode during a practice swing before teeing off this morning.

Not sure if @joytest wanna put this up there in the features section.

The exported video isn't anything great. not slow motion enough but the real golf 'video' is super slow mo with speed of your swing recorded. Very awesome stuff and you get to analyze your swing for self improvement smile.gif

Super awesome! My dad went crazy when he saw this mode and what it can do to improve his swing.

Actually it plays back your swing repeatedly in slow mo like a video so you can analyze your swing in detail.

Very useful stuff.

That photo was taken by my dad, who is tech-allergic, so it shows how easy it is smile.gif

No need. I think the camera basically snaps multiple bursts of shots in succession and then stitch them altogether to form a video. You just need to place the target within the 'shadow' of the golfer on the screen and the camera will detect your swing automatically

I bought a new TPU case, quicksand type. It can fit with the back cover on but not as perfectly without the back cover. Its is safe to just leave a case on without the back cover? The TPU case seems so cover and snugly fit even sticking to the back of the battery etc. There seems to be no NFC component on the back cover as well. Any one done this before or have any thoughts? Thx

Go to Setting > Device tab > Sound > vibration intensity

From there you can set your vibration intensity for each different types of events. In fact I find that Note 3 vibration is too strong till I can hear it instead of feeling it. I have lower down the intensity. Not sure how strong you want.

I am not sure about Note2.
But for galaxy note 3 pictures, it looks really nice when view at original size.
However, when zoomed, I can see heavy image processing and filtering technique applied.
especially obvious on the human skin part.
The effect is less obvious under good light condition, and become more obvious on low light condition.
I think this technique makes the photo looks nice on the first look, and every1 is excited about it.
but if you zoom in, you realize the blurring effect.

Anyway, any1 know how to take RAW photo with note 3?
Without the image processing and filtering. Is it possible?

Only XiaoMi Mi-3 support RAW format.

Photo is means to view full page not zooming.

Want every single details, get a decent DSLR, you can zoom as big as you like. smile.gif

Without filtering, in such small sensor, you only see noise instead object. Samsung filtering still ok, you go see Sony one, later you vomit. Hehe...

After I see sample output, I don't feel it worth getting QX10 also. The quality is not really there.

QX100 is nice but quite expensive.

QX100 too big and expensive...

Well, I am quite impressed with the slo-mo video. (the speed is good but not the quality)
It is really slow motion! My monitor is capable of OC to 120hz.
Thanks to Note3 video I can quite confirm my monitor OC is real and no frame skipping.

Video below shoot with Note3 @ 720p with slow motion feature

SOLUTION FOUND
---------------------

If any TPU rigid type cases that is little to tight to fit, pour boiling water and soak for 30 seconds, stretch the case a little and repeat step if needed. Snugly fits now.

For app developer, enabling usb debugging need some special tricks now
I didn't know about that.

QUOTE
Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number a few times > It will say your a developer now > Go back and you will see developer options above About Phone > Check USB Debugging option in Developer Options

USB debugging is mainly for developers, allowing them to use the android sdk (software development kit) to communicate with the device. However, USB debugging can be extremely useful as it allows us to use adb commands which can pull and push files to the device even when it does not boot correctly.

wow so fast v6 thread ha... just finish reading previous versions from beginning.. today only knew got this note 3 link... aishhh im backdated.. but still not able to read each n every posting.. so if repeat same question please dont jump on me ya..

anyway guys im on NOTE 2 telco plan, feel like trade in my phone for NOTE 3 at outside.. wondering how much my NOTE 2 will be sold ? any idea guys.. any brothers sisters over here done it ?

currently mine is surfmore75 maxis, simcard registered on 2013 APRIL. so for the LTE do i need to get special simcard or the service must be activated by telco with extra charges ? ... NOTE 3 still using micro simcard right... as i went tru some posts, some members saying its auto detect once insert previous simcard to LTE phones.. but just wondering..


another thing, for NOTE 3 is there any options to disable LTE, like in NOTE 2 network mode can be changed GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)
GSM only
WCDMA only..

if i select GSM, 3G disabled and only operates on 2G... so wondering NOTE 3 has anything like disabling LTE and just let it run on 3G..

the reason im asking this because some places the 3G coverages bad, so when the phone network keep syncing for 3G or H+.. its consuming more battery.. so i let it be on just 2G.. if for NOTE 3 LTE capability, with the battery just 3200mh... im wondering..


since many of NOTE 2 users already switching, personally what do you guys think is it worth to upgrade from NOTE 2 to NOTE 3 ?

Sold my note 2 to a friend for RM1350. I believe trading in will always get considerably lower returns. Got the device from Maxis with the same plan as you. Yes the Note 3 is using the same sim card. I immediately received 4G after inserting the card so I am not sure if an upgrade is needed.

haha bro thanks for the reply, i just edited my postn with some points and refreshed saw ur reply for previous... between yours new sim card right ? any idea how about old micro simcard.. so urs same plan ha then LTE should be default ha with no extra charges ?

i see maxis not offering any plans with 1 year contract right... urs 2 years ?


but personally i feel surfmore75.. 5GB not worth if doing more calls.. first 5 months the bill was minimum since my deposit 250 was get deducted every months 50 ringgit.. then one 6th month waaa the bill can go up to 200.. and i dont even finishing the 5GB every month... lucky mine just 1 year contract...

No problem smile.gif I took the two year contract and upgraded from a Note 1, I got the micro sim during that upgrade. I'm assuming that there is no need to go to Maxis since 4G is enabled. I bought the Note 3 outright by the way so I'm still on that previous 2 years contract with 14 months left. Oh sorry mine is a Talkmore 2 year contract with + 1gb internet.

Yes there is the options of choosing specific network provided. You can disable LTE and just run on the others.

An upgrade worth will totally depend on you. Is the extra cash you will be pumping in worth the new stuff. Personally for me its a yes because if I were to wait longer, the note 2 resale value will drop even more plus the Note 3 is kinda awesome biggrin.gif

any ideas i can try b4 sending it to SC ?
*
Better try call the vendor and ask for 1-to-1 replacement. One forumer here faced the same problem and he is entitled to get 1-to-1 exchange.

My unit also got buzzing sound and random reboot. Will send to ask SC later for checking.

Last week I was ranting about the screen rotation lagging right?
Well I finally found out that the smart rotation should not be checked..
When I deactivated the smart rotation, then my screen rotates much faster like about a second or two instead of 4 seconds..
so I would say problem solved.. smile.gif

Just tried out Golf mode today.

Super awesome! My dad went crazy when he saw this mode and what it can do to improve his swing.

This is a still image exported from the golf 'video'

Attached Image
Photo was taken in golf mode during a practice swing before teeing off this morning.

Not sure if TS wanna put this up there in the features section.

The exported video isn't anything great. not slow motion enough but the real golf 'video' is super slow mo with speed of your swing recorded. Very awesome stuff and you get to analyze your swing for self improvement smile.gif

Sold my note 2 to a friend for RM1350. I believe trading in will always get considerably lower returns. Got the device from Maxis with the same plan as you. Yes the Note 3 is using the same sim card. I immediately received 4G after inserting the card so I am not sure if an upgrade is needed.

how old is ur note 2? new one selling 1.4k now isnt it?

Usually if you just sign in your google play store and ask it to install all your apps from play store into it . Then it will auto download all your apps from internet into your phone.which will be making use of your wifi or 3G connection. Even if YOU are not using it. It is still downloading things . So it will heat up on the back maybe thats why you say battery area. Or you play apps like POU and forget to close the app. It will keep the screen on until your battery flat.

Hi all, I'm a note 3 new user. Just finished charging yet still haven't have time to try it on. Just try the camera and it was clear but I wanna ask 1 question. Whatever finishing take a picture, there's a pop up that says "Processing". What I saw on youtube or try on at Samsung outlet, the camera works very well without any pop up. Anyone could assist me about this matter? Bought from Maxis center.

And 2nd question. I bought a case frm lowyat plaza. It was USAMS Starry Sky series leather with window case. The sales person said it got S-view but when I put on the case, it does not have S-view. Or I need to activate S-view? Please do assist me on this as well. Newbie here..

Thank you very much.

I am not sure about Note2.
But for galaxy note 3 pictures, it looks really nice when view at original size.
However, when zoomed, I can see heavy image processing and filtering technique applied.
especially obvious on the human skin part.
The effect is less obvious under good light condition, and become more obvious on low light condition.
I think this technique makes the photo looks nice on the first look, and every1 is excited about it.
but if you zoom in, you realize the blurring effect.

Anyway, any1 know how to take RAW photo with note 3?
Without the image processing and filtering. Is it possible?
*
Why do you have to zoom in? For regular phone camera users, it won't give you any benefit, only vomit tongue.gif

By the way, that is called pixel peeping.

The "effect" is more obvious in lower lighting conditions because when there is less light, your device is not capable of directing enough light into the camera sensor. The aperture should already max out at f/2.2 and the shutter speed is at the minimum as pre-determined by the camera (since you can't have full access to the manual controls anyway) BUT there is still not enough light.

So what to do now?

The only thing the camera can do now to compensate for the lack of light is to increase the ISO. Increasing the ISO basically means increasing the sensitivity of the photo receptors in the camera sensor to light. When you increase ISO, you will get more digital noise, this is an inevitable fact.

Most phone cameras and conventional point and shoot cameras will usually suffer a lot of digital noise even at low ISO ratings, due to their camera sensor size. The camera sensor is basically where all the your "megapixels" are at. With a bigger sensor, the surface area of each pixel would be bigger resulting in a higher exposure to light. This is good because the camera needs less electrical signals to tune the sensor for higher sensitivity. Therefore, you will notice that at the same ISO value, a bigger sensor sized camera will produce less noisy images than a smaller sensor sized camera.

ic... thanks for the info.
as I don't have others Sony phone to compare.

Still thinking about Sony QX10, but theVerge gives very low score only.
I have DSLR but it is too cumbersome to bring out everytime. (noob DSLR with stock lense)
*
I won't get the QX10 as I find it a waste of time. 1/2.3 sensor is small, just like your regular conventional compact cameras (RM800 below).

IMHO just go for the QX100 as it offers a tremendous camera performance compared to your Note III smile.gif

Maybe you might thank me for this later tongue.gif

you try send a sms to 62002 (Maxis) to check first. The format is: PC [IMEI NUMBER], eg. PC 33454554543. Yes, FallenOut is still the helpful guy to look for.

you bought from the HQ, sure warranty will be registered on the spot. For those bought from other than SEP, especially Maxis, e-Warranty is not registered, so will have "extra" warranty period. tongue.gif

Go Samsung site and find Note 3 support/download. Download Kies, install it and uninstall but keep the driver. After that plug in the Note 3, it will auto install the driver. smile.gif

Hi, thanks a lot. My 1st question already solved. But the 2nd, kinda sad. Bought at RM155. Expensive but no S-view. Bought at lowyat plaza Tarita Multimedia.

Who else got this case but no S-view? Can change a new 1?

You shall check on the spot since you buy at shop. Maybe you can return to that shop and talk about it. Show them the S-View feature is not working.

did they tell you that the case is S-View capable? If yes, then go back to change. Else, you just have to accept what it is.

Any idea where I can buy the original Samsung black S View case?

Been searching high and low for the past week and only found white. I'm seriously desperate for it. Heck I wouldn't even mind paying slightly higher than the retail price for it.

Go back to the shop and talk with them. See they refund or anything or not.

In future, buy anything must test on the spot. The world is not trust-able now.

I don't think it got S-View features.

If I look at it, it is the same with Rock casing with window. From all the promotion pictures, it doesn't show the dedicated S View screen (where you can see the notification and access to action memo, camera and music) that comes with the S View cover. Those image you seen is only the default lockscreen image.

But for those who bought this type of casing including the windowed Rock casing, at least you still can answer the phone call without opening the flip cover by pressing the home button. All you need to do is go to Setting > Device Tab > Accessibility > Answering / ending calls > select The home key answers calls

Really disappointed in Samsung. If they give 1-to-1 I still better. This is too much, paid 2.4k for faulty device.

Last time bought my HTC One X also got problem within 7days n they let 1-to-1.

Maybe this is gonna be my first and last Samsung phone. sad.gif

Sorry to hear that bro. Seems like your luck with phone really annoys you back to HOX. Should go to the main SC if you are in KL. My friend claim his S4 active 1 to 1 on the 3rd day of his purchase in SC at federal highway. Seems like now not many shop provide 1 to 1 exchange.

Try to call the main SC first and see what they can do for you. If they say you can do the 1 to 1 exchange in their SC next week then only you collect it back. But you have to be really firm and demand for it. Try to speak to someone who can really make decision. You just have to be firm and persist. I work as a CS in bank before, so I know how's the procedure go if you really have a legit claim or complain

I will be going to Maxis KLCC again later, and this time I think I won't be so kind to them cause my number swapping process STILL NOT YET completed...

And they didn't bother to call back / reply my sms...

Sigh, going to waste my time and parking $$$ again...

Here to report that today is Day No. 6 of using my Note III and happy to note that my White Note III back cover is still pristine. Probably it is just very hard durable plastic like what Samsung did for the Galaxy Nexus White which was still in perfect condition (no turning yellow colour or stains) after 1 year + of using it previously. No regret at all getting white so far. Let's hope this lasts. tongue.gif

I am very curious and jealous on some of the members' SOT which can reached ard 4 to 5 hours. Is 3g on all the time?

Mine, from 7am to 6pm 3g on only manage to give me 2 1/2 hours SOT, the most. Only using for whatsapping, a few calls.

I am not into doing all kind of stuff to save battery as I belief the phone should serve me but not otherwise. But i am just curious. 4 hrs vs 2 1/2 hrs!

Can someone enlighthen me?

Will grab an extra battery and charging dock once its available in Samsung Strore.

This is where I make my mistake, cause I thought it should be sufficient since I already have the contact number of the senior office who in charge my case. But turns out I have to visit them one more time...

Anyway, I can bring my family together, let them go for some shopping while I handle my issue with maxis...

just shooting here, but maybe you can try to clear the data cache of Samsung keyboard.

I feel that this first release firware is a bit rush, come across quite a few of niggly bugs like developer option not sticking, lost the ringtone list, not recognising my custom ringtones etc. sometimes clearing the data helps.

That's why you should never bother about SOT reports from user-to-user as there is just too many variables.

If you want a better comparison, check GSMArena's battery rating which uses controlled variables for testing and is a more reliable source of reference.

Yes, I have to agree. The firmware for Note III (maybe due to Android OS 4.3) is not refined and many minor bugs experienced by me and those around me who are using Note III as well. Those that complain that they did not see any bugs maybe are not using the phone as heavily as we do, or maybe they don't mind the minor bugs.

goto settings-->Application Manager, swipe to the ALL tab. then look for Samsung keyboard, click it and clear data and cache.

then got back to the keyboard settings and try the settings again. no guarantee it will work tho, but please report back.

Now I get you. Strange, it works before I enable Direct input. Since you mentioned it and I tried it now it doesn't work. Something must be wrong. I didn't notice it as all this while I'm using Direct input which works much more better for me. Is this a bug?

This is very likely a software issue and probably Samsung SC can't even solve it.

Did your issue happen since Day 1 of owning the phone?

Battery life is very depending on
1) How many background sync account you have for your phone?
2) How frequent is your sync?
3) What apps you are running during the screen on period? Web browsing or gaming or others as each activity will affects the SOT
4) How good is your network signal
5) You are connected to WiFi or data all the time as WiFi will save more power.

For me I also didn't get SOT for 5 hours or more. Most of the time is 4 hours. I'm connected to data almost 90% of the time, and I have background sync for email, gmail, fb, friendcaster, weather, samsung account, and other SNS. And most of the time I'm using the phone for Whatsapp and web browsing and viber call. So for me I the Note 3 is holding up to my expectation and usage quite well.

Power Saving feature in TouchWiz does not do that. Only Sony's Stamina Mode feature in Sony Android phones turn off data connection when screen is off.

go to page 1 check out the battery area, it should mention about greenify and also BBS, u can use BBS to determine what is causing the battery drain, then after solving that problem, greenify is used to improve your battery life

benny the main problem here is that once we enabled direct writing+predictive text, the old method of using the keyboard part does not have predictive text anymore

Agree..the experience of writing is much better by using Direct Input as it is able to read my handwriting flawlessly since day 1.

What they mean they can't get the handwriting to work by using Samsung keyboard instead of the Direct Input. I faced this problem too after someone reported today. Some claimed it happens after they enable Direct Input + Predictive Text.

see the picture, first pic is the old normal method, second pic is direct input, when direct input is enabled, the first pic method doesn't convert the handwritten words to text.

yes yes this i also agree very much, its more simpler and you can write multi lines without having crap popping out, the previous method can't write multi lines.

also this allows us to use other keyboards while also having pen texting

I actually noticed that the You Tube App from the Google play store when played on the Note 3, it seems very laggy..
I meant not in terms of laggyness, but I could literally see the you tube video frame by frame..
It is very obvious that it is not smooth at all..
As compared to Note 2, the app played on Note 2 is super smooth..
Anybody faced this problem before?
When I used TubeMate the laggyness was obliterated..
So I guess is the You tube app?

Not a big issue as I believe it is a firmware bug since many user faced it. But from feedback, most of us are using Direct Input instead of Handwriting keyboard, so not much of a big impact. Hopefully Samsung will fix this glitches

The old input method is dead probably due to we enable prediction text. Default is not on, and it is working. I dunno what is direct input that time.

After enable prediction text, the normal handwriting is dead, reset keyboard never help either.

The malfunction is cause by once enable prediction text.

No regret at all getting white so far. Let's hope this lasts. tongue.gif

hohoho, i am the proud No. 176 owner in this thread!

bought mine on last Saturday, truly amazed by this phone!
being upgraded from the very first Galaxy S, this is a huge jump for me!
from the size, the screen, the specs and the performance, everything is super perfect!
so far the best part is the battery, after fully charged, it can last me a one whole day of intensive usage, including fb surfing, chatting, downloading apps...by the time i sleep, the battery is still not drained out at 26%...
very satisfied indeed happy.gif

Wow.. just few day busy don't come forum it already v6.. it so fast xD

let see.. some people face some problem and I want to make it clear..

"Samsung Galaxy Note III was a new release phone, it just release on every country(some country not yet release).. of-course you will face some software problem because not all developer optimize their application for Note III yet, that normal sometime you face like facebook lag, or youtube lag.. because you still using old version application which "NOT YET" optimize for Note III, some force close problem maybe course by Stock ROM, you can think like the ROM still on Beta Phase, because their tester maybe missing some part.. but I believe after report it will fixed it soon..."

Then maybe the keyboard really buggy, it show you working at beginning only.

I myself when just on, the normal handwriting is working.

Then I enable prediction text and swipe input, after that I never bother on pen input.

Then I try it as user mention here, it is not working!

All this while I dunno what is direct input. Only later just figure out how to input via direct input.

Just went to Samsung Service Center to ask for a replacement for my note 3 back cover that has a small pointy thingy on it. They told me they dont have the spare part and it could cost $$ since the back cover isnt covered by the warranty. Somemore they told me its a small problem and I'm only disappointed by small problem. Felt abit sad though but luckly the girl I ask smile really nice makes me not sad anymore.

lol, it is really small problem what.
And I remember someone said you can buy new original back cover from samsung store

if you sell and buy a new one becoz of that small problem, how much would it cost you?
maybe buying another backcover is cheaper
you also have backup cover in case of scratches

My theory on this pen input fiasco:-

seems like the pen input is a custom version of Myscript Stylus. Notice also it is a beta product.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...bile.v3_2_store

Looks like samsung paid to include this into touchwiz but forgot to remove the expiry dateline (very likely 30/9/13).

if my theory correct, then this is a big LOL!

I use direct input only for writing notes on snote n simple note app. I never use writing feature with keyboard. So i can accept the writing bug on keyboard. If Samsung can fix it, good than for those who need it.

LOL. I thought you bought it. Now using baseus is quite nice actually. Just the weight has become like note 2 already now. Flip cover I use on ipad usually never used flip on phone. I just love the cover because it does not add any thickness to the phone.

I suggest to wait for more Samsung back cover to out..they are nicer than black or white..
There reason why I chose white note 3 over Z1 is because later can change back cover and make my mood better.
Where else z1 only that colour..lol

Yep.

Note 2 and all previous AMOLED by Samsung before S4 is over vivid, actually badly saturation.

Samsung fix it since S4.

But if you prefer crazy vividness, you still can have it by change at Device - Display - Screen Mode - Dynamic.

After tryout the direct input, it is far better than older handwriting input, the smoothness and recognition at direct input is better a lot actually.

Just direct input seems not working at website for the moment. Not big issue here also. smile.gif

Just wait Samsung release fix for it, pretty sure it can fix, it just an issue with date.

Hi all,

I just dropped my S3 into a bucket full of water... sad.gif

I think I need to shop for a new phone and Note 3 is my first choice.

I have a few questions hope members who familiar with Note 3 could help answer:

From the first page specification section, there stated:
Video Capture: 1080p, 4K/UHD* (only in some markets)
  • 4K video capture is only in some market, but is it available in Malaysian model (SME)?
  • Another thing is, how is the battery life if compare to Galaxy S3?

Thank you in advanced! notworthy.gif

I bought a new TPU case, quicksand type. It can fit with the back cover on but not as perfectly without the back cover. Its is safe to just leave a case on without the back cover? The TPU case seems so cover and snugly fit even sticking to the back of the battery etc. There seems to be no NFC component on the back cover as well. Any one done this before or have any thoughts? Thx

All S800 LTE version is capable of 4K video.

Malaysia only got S800 LTE set at the moment, means 4K video is working.

Hi all,

I just dropped my S3 into a bucket full of water...  sad.gif

I think I need to shop for a new phone and Note 3 is my first choice.

I have a few questions hope members who familiar with Note 3 could help answer:

From the first page specification section, there stated:
Video Capture: 1080p, 4K/UHD* (only in some markets)

  • 4K video capture is only in some market, but is it available in Malaysian model (SME)?
  • Another thing is, how is the battery life if compare to Galaxy S3?

Thank you in advanced!  notworthy.gif

gosh... in split second, i thought you drop a Note 3 in the water. sweat.gif

Battery life of Note 3 sure trump the S3. biggrin.gif

You are right, just let it go, but I will be 2.4K poorer... cry.gif
In fact, I don't know if Qualcom S800 is a good processor? I don't know about the processor naming. tongue.gif

Please forgive my another question:
Is the leather back-plate come standard with the phone?
I also guess the cool Note 3 cover (with a clear window) have to buy separately right?

I'm just replying to the point that hard reset does not make it go away.

Else, hardreset should clear all software problem.

Maybe the guy does not really do hardreset? He think he did, but actually its not? Or Knox enabled hardreset is not really hard reset per se? tongue.gif

Antutu first attempt right now - 36,476. Although benchmark looks great but for everyday usage, seems like not as smooth as my Note II on custom rom. It is very very slight difference, but definitely can feel it. I think loading NFS:Most Wanted is also slower than my Nexus 7 2013 32GB. hmm.gif Will confirm it tonight doing a side-by-side loading comparison.

Anyone else the same?

There shouldn't be a delay in your notifications arriving while your phone is asleep. Trust me, over the years I've forgotten to silence my phone during the night enough times only to be woken up by a 3:13AM *ping* that I'm sure it works all too well. :-)

I thought of one other thing to check. If you visit Settings > Wifi and then tap the menu button (3 vertical dots) in the lower-right corner, then select Advanced, what is Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep set to? If you change the setting to Always does that clear up the problem?

check back few pages, known bug. and is date-triggered, changing your date to earlier will temporarily fix the issue. but probably best to wait for samsung to fix.

No updates on which outlet has stock in hand for the black Samsung S View case?

I can only tell that the Samsung in Empire Shopping Gallery has the white case. I'm still trying to look for the black.

Buy from superbuy.com.my as selling same price as retail. Being a repeat buyer i got rm22 discount off the listed rm189.

Most outlets only have white color..Black color sold out and don't know when will restock. You can purchase from superbuy..they have more colors other than black and white in Samsung store.

It's so funny that Note 3 white color is hard to find while S View Cover black color is sold out

I'd like to test and get a feel of the case first before my purchase, hence I'd prefer to buy it off a shop.

Unless this Superbuy has a physical outlet?

check back few pages, known bug. and is date-triggered, changing your date to earlier will temporarily fix the issue. but probably best to wait for samsung to fix.

yup...but the UI is quite good actually....just click at the channel logo or the series you like and voila...automatically dial it for you....similar function with logitech's harmony universal controller which cost nearly a thousand (for the high end model)...kudos to Samsung for this app...and also the IR transmitter on the Note 3

Galaxy S4's infrared remote can only be used to send signal, not receiving hence unable to learn. you need apps that has predefined infrared command for the device you're controlling for it to works. the watchon app from Samsung can control only TV, DVD/Blu-ray player, AV Receiver or streaming media player.. not sure if Note 3's infrared module is identical to S4 or it's a better version which can learn from another remote

But.. 10s ~ 200MB @ 4k resolution is no joke lol... now I feel 64GB SD card is nothing.

If you insist on 1 to 1 exchange...you go to the shop where you bought the phone.
Don't go claiming at service centre coz they only doing service and repairs job.

Or you can try at SME Sdn Bhd HQ...i think at KL Sentral Plaza.
Try nego your case there.

[05:59:02 PM] Maxis: Upon checking, please be informed that we have stock for the following device however it is limit due to overwhelming response.

I got a white one, but you'll never know if they got stock for black; bear in mind that if you buy white - should immediately get a casing

got advice from a casing store - they say white becomes yellow after long term contact with hands

I heard that too but using Chrome Beta in Note 10.1 seems fine though. Will try to side load it tonight and have a try as I can't find Chrome Beta from Play Store using Note 3.

Those day I use Boat Browser as I like it built in text reflow features. But it feels a bit heavier compare to Chrome and built in browser.

Just a quick question guys. My GPS lock in my car takes much longer than an iphone 5. The lock was fast though when i am outside the car.

I guess - the GPS module on iPhone5 more sensitive. I do have v-kool....

What is the reading mode for?

when u enable reading mode it will tell u what it is, also if you long press it will give u the option to add selected apps. basically it makes the screen slightly warmer(yellow tinted)

check back few pages, known bug. and is date-triggered, changing your date to earlier will temporarily fix the issue. but probably best to wait for samsung to fix.

conclusion: bad, application is okay but within awhile after apply i can start seeing all the funny funny rainbow colour stuffs on my screen when my hands is only barely oily due to being in air cond room using laptop.

Someone mentioned that their spen keep get stuck stuck, well that is normal for this kind of sp because the original adhensive haven't dried yet, this sp is oleophobic i think or maybe just plain clear, well i'm definitely changing this sp once a really good one comes along like 3M

i know it's only a RM17 sp, so its expected, just wanna review here.

Yes will encounter the issue again. Then re apply the solution again.

Troublesome , but so far this is the only known interim solution.

I got it from Samsung shop.. i think level 2 in Lowyat. It's awesome because it replaces the backcover...

In fact it makes the phone feels more solid..

Okay, here is my review

Last friday, the Note 3 was unboxed by me and the contains are

1xGN3, 1x ???, but mostly for SPEN, 1X earpcs (doh.gif) , charger and so on

n here is the 'game' start
bootup time, 26.43secs.. [meh... faster than my S4 LTE :3]
and it given me a impressive view for me wink.gif as well

S-Pen

1.touchable back btn
2.Air-Command..(best invent ever brows.gif )
3.Precised and revamped new S-PEN
4.as my GF drawn a sample of Rikuo Nura at New S-Note apps, is definately awesome and new pens and so on la... [cry.gif i accidently deleted the pics ]

UI
1.thumbup.gif and is very impressed me...
2.new wallpaper looks nice :3
3.Revamped Settings on S-Pen.

Camera: AWESOME... thumbup.gif [but pictures din't have at this moment yet smile.gif ]
Keypad:Samsung Stock is not precise yet
i would say, IS G-G-GODLIKE phablet ever i used and reviewed..

Pros:
Monsterous replacable 3200mAh battery
Faux-style back casing
improved Battery Saving management
5.7" SAMOLED w fitted my jeans size phone :3
USB 3.0 [yes, tested w 1Gb+ files transfering blazingly fast]
4K UHD video capture

Cons:
Some launcher will not works well on N3..[except UCCW,NEXT and Apex]

Verdict: 99% [BANG-BUCK worth phone]

no.. registration of eWarranty requires a copy of your receipt. Unless you can modify your receipt date sweat.gif
