In regards to the purple smeared stain on my screen, the stain was spreading wider within a day. I brought it to Samsung Service Centre in One Utama and upon checking the technician said that the LED is cracked inside. I didn't see any visible crack on the screen and I don't think it is caused by any fall. Apparently, if I leave it, the stain will spread and eventually the screen will go dead. According to the them, I must have pressed the screen hard till the LED cracked inside  rclxub.gif  Seriously!!!!

Since the screen is not under warranty, I have to fork out my own money RM680 to pay for the damage... I tried to argue it doesn't make sense for a new device to be so flimsy and as a user of Note 1, Note 2, Tab 7.7 and Note 10.1, I know the quality is not that bad. But, they can't do anything.

I had no choice but to agree to change the screen using my own money. The device can be collected after 3 hours. So, I will be going back to collect my device later.

Anyway, advice to all who prefer to use the phone naked, please spend a bit of money to buy a case such as otterbox. As for me, I am going to sew a pouch with thick sponge to protect my phone...  doh.gif

Sorry to hear your case.

If they is no visible crack on screen, I will continue argue with them. If they is, then for sure no choice as no manufacture will cover it. The price is indeed high, same as Note II but it still not as crazy expensive as Sony, the Xperia Z Ultra screen replacement price is RM 1k, I had call myself as for fun last time.

if they apply over MY too then i will say good bye to samsung and go for other device without knox
hopefully not all the manufacture follow the samsung way

Which brand you gonna go? Sony and HTC seems same can void your warranty once unlocked the bootloader and root. LG is going implement same thing like Samsung Knox soon as well.

I find Samsung did this time is actually do one level for it own protection like others manufacture did long ago.

Actually frank speaking, consumer shall take some responsibility once root the phone, it is basically same as Apple jailbreak. Doing such means you making more risk on it than it suppose. This is just my opinion, you want full warranty cover, 1st hand you shall not playing on rooting/jailbreaking.

you maybe true to some point
but without root means no more fun for me
most of the app i'm using are require root to function properly
this would only be in the dream only i think?
*
Last time root is a must for me, but now, it seems not really important already.

Custom ROM like CM,AOKP,AOSP,Paranoid no longer in my list, using them like taking back last year phone.

Now I only need root for ad removal apps and Xpose framework. Others than that, root really seems serve nothing for me already.

Did anyone try Antutu X Benchmark ? A special edition of AnTuTu Benchmark to prevent fraud and cheating!

I just did both test against my Note 3. The differences is only extra 2,070 scores in standard Antutu Benchmark which around increasing of 5.7% only.

Is this call cheat? I don't think so, and never as those site mention increase 30% of scores!

Yes, can copy file size larger than 4gb.
I copied a mkv full hd movie. Cannot play with original player. Use mx player, can play but no sound.
Any recomended player which support mkv full hd & DTS?
*
MX Player can play DTS sound, just you need to make some changes.

Settings - Decoder, download custom codec - ARMv7 NEON if your DTS no sound output.

* I need to do this in my previous Xperia Z Ultra, but I never did this in Note 3 as all playback with sound. Mine is MX Player Pro edition.

Sure can.

They is 3 ways for screen capture. No need use 3rd party apps.
  • Motion - swipe with hand palm (side palm). Only like this will work.

  • Home + Power button - press and hold for few seconds.
  • Press S-Pen button and touch the screen, then wait for few seconds.

There is actually 2 more ways:
1. Air command > Screen write
2. Go to Setting > Accessibility > enable Assistant Menu > Screen shot

**Take note that when you do motion screenshot, you hand must touch the screen throughout your swiping motion, else it wont work
*
Yeah! forgot that 2. Haha! Thanks for point out. smile.gif

Only install if no sound out from your movie, or else no need.

Hi guys! Just bought my note 3 few days ago. Upgraded from HTC one S. Well, I guess I've addicted to Phablet xD

One more thing, you guys are using custom rom or still ori?
*
Still ori for me. smile.gif I don't see a need for custom ROM yet, and those CM/AOKP/AOSP/Panaroid I not fancy, if want those, rather get Nexus phone, as those ROM is missing most Samsung features.

My battery life is great and the phone is smooth after latest firmware updates. Nothing for me to mod for the moment, I didn't root yet and not plan to for now.

Dunno, never proper check, I know it is the most longer battery life phone I ever have and it is great.

I never care much in battery life, a phone can last long me a day is great and this Note 3 seems more than it. I charge every night when I back home, don't care it is half battery or what.

The new Candy Crush version is not that stable, I get FC after every close of the games, just wait a while, it will show FC of Candy Crush. This is not 1st time updates of Candy Crush show such behavior.

I always wipe off the games I ever play in phone, never let it stay at background.
