My note 3 vibrate very soft.. was using Sony Xperia last time. The vibrator soft until when i put the phone inside my pocket and hit the phone using hand , i can feel it vibrate abit . Maybe Samsung Vibrate softer compare to Sony.

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.

My bad for not trying it on the spot coz already no more battery. This case sell at facebook extreamly cheap. But there no stated that got S-view. Wondering this case got S-view onot.

Why I bought at Tarita so expensive.

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

Says 1 to 2 weeks.
Keep rebooting and sometimes got loud buzzing noise then hang.
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 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.

Bro, maybe you can try to give a call to the SC near to federal highway and demand a 1 to 1 exchange. See if they can help you to arrange that in the SC nearby your place so that you won't have to travel.

But i leave phone in the SC in the same store wor. Should I go get it back?

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 have the same problem. It is not detecting my handwriting as well.

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?

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.
*
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.

A small issue I noticed.

Sometimes, my phone doesn't notify me of new Whatsapp messages until I unlocked the screen. The time also only jumps after I've turned the screen on.

Anyone else the same?

You mean after you unlock your phone then only the Whatsapp message coming in?

Yup.

Only happens sometimes. Not all the time.

Did you enable power saving? Sometimes this could caused by Whatsapp server or your connection is off during screen off which sometimes will happened if you enable power saving where the phone cut of wireless radio to save power

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.

Oh thanks for the enlightenment. Then I believe the issue is either the phone hardware or Whatsapp server?

To be honest, I much prefer this feature compared to the other one. Interface looks neater and more minimalist. biggrin.gif

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.

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

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.
*
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

Just wonder which browser is battery friendly? Someone mentioned Chrome is bad.

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....

ANybody experience this?

Last sat I use gps navigation in my car. I launch Google map then i was prompted to on the gps..it connected within sec
