» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


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


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.

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.

.....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.

Same with you! :)

After so many changes I do this year, finally I am stopping now. All people surrounding me already though I am crazy or too rich.  :stars:


  • Sony Xperia Z - one of the most stable Android phone I ever use, but I can't stand on it really bad viewing angle, I find it is low end phone screen panel. Sorry if I talk too over, that is my personal preferable, I love and need great display. Beside this, I shoot like hell on the Camera when I just bought it as it really too bad, lucky the camera quality do increase a lot after few firmware updates but the panel is hopeless, how great fine tune by Sony, it still can't be outstanding due to it TN characteristic.

  • Sony Xperia Z Ultra - I change to this as I find Sony finally use great display IPS on it, the screen panel is nice! but  frank said, sometimes it do a bit troublesome due to it monster screen size, and the camera quality is crap like hell, my friend call it VGA camera. Then a big issue fake hang and SOD is really bother me, wonder why Sony implement that not so useful and only make screen even worst - backlight optimisation. I sold it after around a month usage only even though this phablet look sexy and screen is nice.

  • XiaoMi Mi-2s - this is not my phone but lend by my friend, thanks he lend me, after using it, I just know how bad Sony in processing the photo output, this phone use same camera lens as Xperia Z, but the output is like comparing heaven and hell. The Mi-2s photo output is outstanding!

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - as stable as Sony Xperia Z but with extreme awesome screen panel & great camera. Don't forget it really useful S-Pen now. Note 3 is still plastic but is a well design and trick, Note 3 look as elegance as Sony now. All in all, really nothing I can complain on Note 3. I am truly satisfied with it.  :thumbs:


I believe this Note 3 can last long me until next year Note 4. :) unless something crazy things out before Note 4 then different talk :P but it seems less choices for me already, I feel I hardly can step back into Sony already unless Sony make some changes, use comparable with market great display panel, remove that stupid shattered proof sheet, I hate screen protector and I don't want to be force using back screen protector. Camera wise as long as it is same or better than Z1 quality, I got nothing much to complain on it. By only design and build, it can't serve me long and make me want to buy it again. HTC wise, nothing is really impress me yet, even the HTC One as I dislike curve back design phone. LG wise, till date, none of their phone design is awesome even though LG is well making the phone performance solid and stable. As for those China brand, it still too earlier to adopt one.

More than 2 weeks of using Note III already. I have to say, it's the BEST Android phone ever.

The S-Pen now is truly amazing. I actually LOVE taking 'notes' or just doodling on it now. Fantastic device! It writes even somewhat better than a rollerball pen on my paper notebook. Only thing it can't rival is my fountain pen. :P

And it's been like 1 week since I got the S View cover case. Best case, ever. I have not touched neither the power button nor the home button ever since then. And it's just perfect for that quick glance at a message. :D

Looking forward to 1 year of using this Note III, and then it's Note IV. :hehe:

Brother, spending us or not the coffee is really a small matter. I stay in Setia Alam and we can share it.

Just to share my experience with my my current devices: Note3, ipad4 and BB bold.However, Note3 is the best in term of reporting and communication in business. I can sign any document after receive it from mail box. I can write a report with the attachment with photos by Snote, then pdf and email it out in 5mins. BB used to be a good in business communication phone but other than better encription system it is inappropriate for business use today. I have ipad4 also which is running ios7. No doubt it is very smooth machine beutiful interface system if with certain wallpapers. But then N3 win my heart when come to overall user experience, I go for N3 as I don't want to carry so many stuff with my hand and also the spen is very powerful now in Note3.

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. :P

Many phone also can last you years bro. It depends on what you need. This phone is 3GB ram S800 Proc FHD Removable Battery. I think is the best spec you can buy with money now.
I believe this phone should last you 2 to 3 years easily.

My take after using it since yesterday evening.
Everything about this device is blazing fast. Opening apps, camera,
net browsing. email & etc. Pictures load really fast too. Great camera.
The S800 proc really turbo charge Note3. Strange i don't experience any heat issue as well.
Damn i am a happy camper.  :thumbs:

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: 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  :cry: 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:

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: )
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

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)
Posted by sai86 from an XDA post, v22/2094
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.

QUOTE

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.

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 :)

Master the S Pen on the Note 3: Feature Focus - 2013-10-11





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
[right][snapback]63566405[/snapback][/right]

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.

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.

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~~~

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....

Issue 014 by vinnilaa, additional update:
QUOTE
vinnilaa,Oct 9 2013, 04:58 PM

V7/#1506

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

UPDATE: Samsung seems to have some numbers of this defect but it remains largely cosmetic, so an exchange likely depends on your luck to convince the service center, and how badly dented it looks.

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.

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.

Rooting Process for the Note 3 and Caveats

Link to benny888's post on rooting steps - V6/#1783

To root phone :

IMPORTANT: make sure KIES is not running in PC and phone must have USB debugging enabled in developer options. Have developer options revealed by taping the build at settings/general/about device several times - you will see a small prompt until the developer options is shown at settings/general - from benny888 V6/#2488

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

Region Lock on Newer Samsung Phones

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.

Galaxy Note 3 drop test - wolfverine81



My personal opinion is that naked phones are just accidents waiting to happen, and also that so-called "cases" that leave the top and bottom bezels exposed do not deserve the term "case". IMHO, a real case covers the entire bezel, the back and also a rim lip on the front face of the device. To each his/her own.

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?

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.

Tutorial by shadowzephyr - V6/1239

shadowzephyr,Oct 2 2013, 10:03 AM

Well, here's my step.

Apex, Homescreen setting:
1. Portrait grid, set 9 row and 7 column
2. Icon size to 80%.
3. Tick Use tablet UI mode
4. Tick Transparent notification bar
5. Set Show persistent search bar to Never
6. Tick Hide icon labels

Apex, Dock setting:
Should automatically set to Off (because we already set to tablet UI)
If, you want to enable Dock setting back to On, then it's no problem.
Just tick "hide dock divider" to remove the divider.

Apex, Theme setting:
Of course, select ClickUI.  tongue.gif  (Kindly noted that this is not free)

Well, your theme is almost complete. Just insert Zooper Widget Free (4 x 3), select ProgressClock, and you're done!  thumbup.gif

mod will assist to open the thread when v6 hits 2500

I'm out of town 04 and 05 Oct, so this has been prepped and mod will help. I will make further updates when I get back on Sunday.

Er.. I remember when I first got my Note 3, whenever I opened a link in FB app, it will be opened at the bottom without exiting FB app window.

Now I tried opening a link shared on my FB feed, it went straight to browser and opened a full screen page. Did I accidentally disable anything?

I still love the pop up window I have on Note II... sad.gif But I can live with it opening at the bottom of the app.

Just wanted to share two tips.

1. Since 4.2.2, you can double tap an app in the app selection box instead of tapping the app then tapping Just Once.
2. With the Note 3, you can now use your stylus to press the back or menu button. This was previously not possible with Note 2.

I want to give my humble opinion on the Galaxy Gear..
Overall to me its more of a fashion than an accessory to accompany the Note 3..
Emails can't be read but instead the gear prompts the user to look at his or her Note 3. I guess it defeats the purpose of a gear..
The only thing I like about the gear is the front screen and the camera function..
I hope the second generation of the gear would be a better one..
More apps are coming soon on the gear's store, hope it would be more of a use than just displaying a gimmicky accessory on your hands, just like a Rolex watch..

Gear for now is only a fashion accessory. Maybe Gear2 will have better bells & whistles.

Use Home Manager app to act as switcher fir your launcher.
This way you can totally kill TW Launcher and use other launcher as default.

Stop promoting your sales on a discussion thread! Take this as my verbal warning before flag you with the real one.
Why always double posted? Can you be more careful next time?
Check back your own posts and see how many times you have double posted.

mouse auto double click, rosak already but not willing to change mouse. i also mentioned before, if any of the mods want to ban me because of this, by all means go right ahead, because i double posted one time too many i can't defend myself also.

Don't blame the mouse, find alternative way.

I'm not sure if anyone facing this problem..

I just migrated my contacts from my old trusty note 1 to my new friend here note 3..

It seems that the birthday on my contacts are not properly sync with the S Planner Calender..

In the calender the birthday date for the particular person is on the correct date but then the picture showing another contacts picture. When clicking on the picture it will lead to the contact of the person on the picture.

In short.. 'A' birthday appears on S Planner on the right date but with 'B' picture. When see in details by clicking on B's picture will be shown 'B's contact info. So when I check B's birthday it's 'C's picture pulak so on and so forth.

Can anyone advice on how to rectify the problem?

My unit will still "auto-dim" frequently.

Have disabled: "power saving", "auto brightness", "set to different display options".

Brought to SC, they had factory reset my unit and do testing without installing any 3rd party apps (SC suspecting 3rd party apps might caused this "auto-dim".)

Results: SC aren't able to find any fault with my unit. They said there is no auto-dim during their 4 hours testing.

During collection time, with somewhat disappointed with SC finding, I tried in front of SC and luckily the auto-dim issue appeared. They said I'm the only one they received having such issue and will file a report as they couldn't find any fault with the hardware.

As of now, while typing, the "auto-dim" happens not less than 8x.

Another thing I noticed, after getting my unit back from SC, my wifi keeps disconnecting and connecting back.

Hye guys, anyone got same problem with me? icon_question.gif

Just now I called my sis, and after exactly 1:30:00 I talked with her, my phone ended the call. No problem with credit/airtime etc. Also no problem with my phone battery & no third party related app installed. I'm also 100% sure not touching the end call button during the call. Exactly 1:30:00. Anyone got the same issue? Is there any default setting that limit the call duration time?

Good day, does anyone use keyboard to type in S Note?
I experience the typing cursor skipping randomly. This is very annoying.
Does anyone has the same problem? Any solution for that?

Maxis auto disconnect after 1 hour 30 minutes, regardless of what phone you using. Not sure about other providers. This has been in place a long time ago.

Nah, just talk nonsense. biggrin.gif Advice her about new phone, she's finding new job and I'm giving advice etc. Well, I'm not usually call my family at home, just once every 2-3 week. So when I call, we always spent long time.

Not happens with my previous Note before, although we talk more than 3 hours. I wonder that because of custom ROM. hmm.gif

DiGi also auto cut calls off after 1H30M.
If you call by accidental, how? Later customers gonna make noise, so telco providers came out with this solution.

Yes, the 4G is printed there.

If it is sealed with Samsung sticker, I don't think that is used before.

Well it's because our Note is 4th Generation, which is LTE. thumbup.gif Well, only for N9005 though.
How to check? Beside what fruitie said above, I think the other way is checking phone warranty (for original SME), if not used (means new one) then the warranty surely not registered yet.

Sorry for my unrelated post. But if anyone is willing to trade their White Galaxy Note 3 Fullset with an Xperia Z Ultra White fullset with sealed unused charging adapter and earphones with the Sony Flip Casing plus top up from me. Sorry again for the unrelated post, if you want it removed, i will edit it. Only interested in a White set. PM me if interested. Thanks.

To those using S Cover, are you able to activate loud speaker when answering call without flip opening the cover?

I was answering call, saw a "speaker" icon, click on it, but didn't activate the loud speaker.

edit: ok, after few times trying, apparently, we need to press and hold the icon in order to activate "loud speaker + mute"

wanam xposed latest 2.1 works with both call recording and 4 ways reboot, though i dont really use it coz the options are like too messily laid out lol. even another standalone xposed call recording module also works. i used that.

btw you have to use the latest xposed beta, otherwise it wont work.

xprivacy seems to work but causing some minor problems like hanging when uninstalling apps.

btw, just for fun i was testing out both note 2 and 3 side by side.

launching apps i notice a weird pattern.

- built in apps (contacts, phones, settings etc) were almost all significantly faster to launch on note 3

- 3rd party apps varies, but usually quicker on the note 3. a few were almost equal.

- however the weird thing is - for games, i notice it launch faster on the note 2!! yeah i thought at first some kind of anomaly, but i repeated the test over many games but somehow note 2 remains faster to launch!
(some of the stuff i tried - montezuma 1,2,3, war games, birzzle, battlehearts etc) and where there are loading bars, they almost always finish faster on the note 2

obviously general usage, note 3 just feels more fluid and zippy overall. my unscientific test is just on testing launching of apps. smile.gif

First, in settings, make sure that the motion control is on.After that, tap on motion and make sure that Palm swipe to capture is ticked.
Next, make sure you perform the gesture correctly.Your edge of the palm must be touching the screen while you swipe fully from the left or right.

From the Camera app, go to Setting, video icon tab (at the middle), Video size, select the top one: 3840x2160 (16:9). That's 4K video recording. thumbup.gif

Pasar Malam? It is one of the great build quality flip cover I buy. Never worst than those branded case I buy before for my previous phone.

Great build, I am waiting Samsung release more color as I can switch in between. smile.gif

My current one is White S View Flip Cover.
*
I oso use white cover Bro.
Yes..I do agree that this is the best original Samsung cover so far. Better than the cover for Note1 tho I do feel my original cover for Note 8.0 feel more comfortable to handle.

But all in all...It will never surpass any of my Zenus or Otterbox casing.

Otterbox is great. smile.gif

But Zenus.... Hmmm... Not really, I feel it hand made not solid enough. It look too bulky to me.

By the way, today I seen spigen back case at Singapore, it look awesome, I nearly buy it. Hehe

Erm try search Google first? Well for my case, I already have all three things needed from my previous Note:
- the installer APK,
- the core function folder named 'NaviM11SGMY' copied into my internal storage, and
- the (not so latest) Maps folder downloaded from MFM website, put inside the core function folder (inside Maps folder).

After copied everything, just run the APK. Done.
There's alot of website that provide the APK and core files, and check out MFM site for the latest map.

Most people here don't know about it or never be experienced it because you need to have pure black beside white or nearly white to notice, it's because the pure black is an fully off led, for white to change to pure black cannot be done instantly hence the the lag time caused purple ghosting, xda has a fix for it by applying a white screen filter to make sure it is not pure black so the led will not off completely.

Usually you will not notice unless you are at the lowest brightness or using a dark screen filter to make it very low brightness and also satisfy the condition of black and white which is usually during reading articles and mangas

UAG also use two layer like Otter Commuter..if I not mistaken.
Soft inner layer and hard shell for the outside.

BTW..I just notice the Active Apps Monitor look weird with only a small circle. Not like usual rectangular style. I tried to sideload the old Active Apps Monitor apk but was rejected by the phone system

Guys, wanna share with you all some of my battery drainage this few days. Last 2 days my battery suddenly depleted very fast, almost 10% in an hour. After installing bbs and I found out in my partial kernel wakelocks, nlpcollector consume most of my battery and cause my phone awake time double of my deep sleep time.

Upon Google abt it and I found out Google location service is the culprit. Since I didn't use Google now, I disable Google location access from Google Now setting and location service in phone setting. Now my battery life is rock solid. Phone is really in deep sleep when it is not in use.

So for those who face battery draining issue, maybe you all can look into it.

Finally... I got my N3 from Maxis Center KLCC evening today with SurfMore 75 package.

Before you sign the plan, always check with them whether they have the stock, because I noticed some of they reserve the phone for another customer.
At first they said no more stock for black N3 and I can get the phone after they restock in next day.
I was dissapointed and insisted them to check again from their end, then their supervisor found there is one unit black N3 left, seems like one of their staff reserve it for someone else.
While I already signed the plan and paid for the device, their manager told them to give the phone to me, this is unfair for the any customer who already complete the payment.

For screen protector and N3 case, I spent only RM25 at the mobile shop in Setapak for clear SP and rubber case.
This will be temporary case and I'm looking forward to get two layer case (hard and soft) from Otterbox or Casemate. smile.gif

Wow... I'm number 220 in the Owners' List spreadsheet.

Erm try search Google first? Well for my case, I already have all three things needed from my previous Note:
- the installer APK,
- the core function folder named 'NaviM11SGMY' copied into my internal storage, and
- the (not so latest) Maps folder downloaded from MFM website, put inside the core function folder (inside Maps folder).

After copied everything, just run the APK. Done.
There's alot of website that provide the APK and core files, and check out MFM site for the latest map.
Yeah, I'm impressed. Although I believe Papago doesn't use the A-GPS, but still fast.  thumbup.gif

Ok.. Good. Done. Run perfectly ! Thanks.

Guys, wanna share with you all some of my battery drainage this few days. Last 2 days my battery suddenly depleted very fast, almost 10% in an hour. After installing bbs and I found out in my partial kernel wakelocks, nlpcollector consume most of my battery and cause my phone awake time double of my deep sleep time.

Upon Google abt it and I found out Google location service is the culprit. Since I didn't use Google now, I disable Google location access from Google Now setting and location service in phone setting. Now my battery life is rock solid. Phone is really in deep sleep when it is not in use.

So for those who face battery draining issue, maybe you all can look into it.

I feel that Note 2 and Note 3 not much difference in terms of performance.

All games installed on Note 3 can be played smoothly on Note 2, S3 and HTC One.

IMO, i don't think it is necessary to upgrade your phone to Note 2.

Definitely agree with this. For scrolling especially in 3D mode is quite laggy. But I don't believe it's the phone problem, but the apps. Tested with Note / S2 / S4 before and received same lag problem. shakehead.gif Although when in driving mode, the lag was not shows much, and that's more important to me.

Didn't tested for Sygic yet, but I tried install before (with my Note) but failed, maybe I didn't follow the instruction correctly. I wonder Sygic is much smoother (scrolling map) compare with Papago.

Waiting for a new, smooth Papago apps. nod.gif

49 x 2.5 = 122 only. Consider normal price here.
S3 Neo Hybrid cost RM119 edi. If you can get below RM100..afraid might get a fake one. Fake SGP quite a lots here.

Somehow I think I agree with this. Well, unless you're rich, I think no need to upgrade from Note 2.
But, if comes from Note 1 (exactly like my case), the difference is quite big. blink.gif

well first a good reason needs to be available why it is limited to only 5 mins = around 4.1GB, maybe because of FAT32 limitation or memory limitations, then I can accept, but a fix would be good as long as it doesn't spoil the s800.

i also tried the burst shot 20/20 then make it as a .gif, quite awesome function wei

of course, if it will somehow spoil the s800 in the long run then no point la, just like overclocking too much will spoil the processor, i don't dare try lo, already have experience cpu and gpu spoil due to oc, gpu is my own desktop, cpu is school's com tongue.gif

Does note 3 provide auto wake up/ sleep screen when using flip cover? If yes, how does it work? Is it using magnectic theory?

Haha..last time with S2..yes we go tinker with the phone to make it faster..smoother..and longer battery life.
Now with Note3..I don't really see the urgency to tinker with the phone as it already good right out from the box.

yes i agree, seriously see it's fast and snappy, but then again when s2 came out it was fast and snappy too until ICS came out then JB, so it may be just for now lol.

Yes..Note3 have wakeup features that compatible with certain flipcase such as the original S View.
I don't think magnet play big part on this features as S4 can use its wakeup features with case without any magnet at all.

what kind of flip cover first?
if the samsung original s-view flip cover or flip wallet, then it is automated using some kind of sensor in the cover, not using magnet.

if any cap ayam/not samsung cover, you need to use an app to make the wake up/sleep to work, usually by app "automaton" or "intellicover", automaton can use the magnet to lock i think, via compass sensor, while intellicover only can via light and proximity sensor. best app to do this is automaton

i believe someone mentioned that the flickering happens at this forum is due to the emoticon

honestly, being tinkerman is one of the main reasons i like android, kinda like a hobby to tinker, like geeks like to tinker with laptop, some tinker with cars, some tinker with motorbikes and some tinker with stereo systems

Though I scrolled it around and saw a lot. tongue.gif
I will go for Auto now since my shots don't require those HDR, panaroma and etc yet. biggrin.gif

Hi all, dont mind me, just want to share a bit on my experience so far (about a week) using this note3.

I migrated from BB to this because I want to get a new device that does not strain my eyes reading emails.

I find this phone is most suitable for the right handed person as it is quite inconvenient to write and even to take out the spen from the device.

Secondly, i find the battery drain so fast that it is not suitable for person that write or take long notes, not to mention watching movies and gaming.

Thirdly, for someone who are not familiar with Android, i find it worrying cos it seems like my Ram is almost running at the full capacity (2GB) all the time.

However, the screen is spectacular and good for movies and gaming but not so much to daily business usage.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you all

There's a setting in the spen for left-handed.
As for the ram, don't worry about it as note 3 has 3GB. I have not experience any signs of lagging till date.
To help you familiarise with the new device, you could refer to 1st page which has lots of useful information.

it's late and i'm sleepy, i try my best to reply u b4 i tido.

1st yes right handed
2nd battery drain fast? plz post here BetterBatteryStats(BBS) screenshot or WakelockDetector (WLD) screenshot of both partial wakelock and kernel wakelock after a day's usage, i will personally tell you why your battery drain fast, either due to rogue apps or is just normal. GSMarena states the battery is quite powerful, 13 hours of video watching, the note carries the best battery performance compared to all other phablets and smartphones i beleive, tablets not included. it is also recommended to use battery saving apps but your email wont be push(instant)
3rd that's ur worry, nothing to do with note problem. you can always exit it if you like.
4th daily business ah? i not sure la, if you mean email checking, then it should be no problem tho.

Brother, spending us or not the coffee is really a small matter. I stay in Setia Alam and we can share it.

Just to share my experience with my my current devices: Note3, ipad4 and BB bold.However, Note3 is the best in term of reporting and communication in business. I can sign any document after receive it from mail box. I can write a report with the attachment with photos by Snote, then pdf and email it out in 5mins. BB used to be a good in business communication phone but other than better encription system it is inappropriate for business use today. I have ipad4 also which is running ios7. No doubt it is very smooth machine beutiful interface system if with certain wallpapers. But then N3 win my heart when come to overall user experience, I go for N3 as I don't want to carry so many stuff with my hand and also the spen is very powerful now in Note3.

Brother, spending us or not the coffee is really a small matter. I stay in Setia Alam and we can share it.

Just to share my experience with my my current devices: Note3, ipad4 and BB bold.However, Note3 is the best in term of reporting and communication in business. I can sign any document after receive it from mail box. I can write a report with the attachment with photos by Snote, then pdf and email it out in 5mins.

Yes... this should be available in all Samsung Store and I saw it in Samsung Store KLCC.
I bought similar SP when I got the Galaxy Camera after launching, RM69 for two pieces.
For N3, I got clear SP for RM10 from local mobile phone shop in Setapak. brows.gif

Check also the phone bezel as there's a few cases of bezel bengkok..lolz
Also go into download mode and check you Knox warranty flag which should be 0x0 and not 0x1.

Good luck and happy hunting biggrin.gif

Perhaps you can check from Harvey Norman as well, no additional charges for credit card.
Last week I was there and noticed they offer RM2200 with 0% interest on 12 months installment.

Press simultaneously HOME+POWR+VOL DOWN button - than when you see the bootup, press VOL UP
This is what you should see for an original untampered phone

Yes..phone bezel. You can check the cases at 1st page.

To go into download mode you power off the phone.
Then press three button combo (vol down + home + power button)
Yes..the phone should come inside sealed box.

You are right, but even expensive SP will loose it's oleo phobic coat after a while. I constantly reapply a resist fingerprint like X Shine to maintain the smoothness and anti-fingerprint.

Some update on the regional lock issue on this phone ( especially for Europe and USA sets): Developer Chainfire had overcome this by clearing up the blacklisted telcos : The device’s region lock is actually a network blacklist, which includes both carriers and entire countries. Chainfire’s RegionLock Away does exactly what its title suggests: It removes the region lock from the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (at least running MI7 firmware), and it is able to do this by clearing the blacklist.

Did you have both the wifi and data on at the same time?
Priority goes to wifi whenever it detects wireless AP. You could keep the data switched on.
In the case where the wireless AP is not available, the device will auto resume your mobile carrier data.

A friend of mine uninstalled Google Play from his Note 3 cos it didn't seem to work properly. He later reinstalled it and OK after that.

Is it possible to uninstall Google Play? I can only uninstall updates but not the app itself in my Mega or any other Android devices.

Hello si-fus

Was wondering if anyone is facing any blue tooth issue like this

1) connect blue tooth with hands free
2) only tick phone audio ( for calls )
3) untick media audio
4) straight away lose all audio on phone including lock screen "ripple noise" and also keyboard sound

5) disconnect hands free
6) still no sound

only solution is to Restart the phone then the sound will come back

:S hard for me when I enter car to use hands free and then off it to work . Please do let me know if anyone else is like that

There's a question for note 3 user.

Could someone check on their lockscreen settings, is there a features call "shortcut" there?

Because mine wasn't have this "shortcut" function. Does anyone happens on this issue as well.

And my smart cover case doesn't function as well! Do I need to activate something to run for the smart cover case?

Thanks smile.gif

Was wondering if anyone is facing any blue tooth issue like this

1) connect blue tooth with hands free
2) only tick phone audio ( for calls )
3) untick media audio
4) straight away lose all audio on phone including lock screen "ripple noise" and also keyboard sound

5) disconnect hands free
6) still no sound

Shortcuts and widgets only work on "swipe to unlock" anything that requires pass wont have that function.

Imagine having a password and yet your widget by-passes that. What's the point of having a password? XD

If your cover case doesn't have 2 copper pins inside your back cover, then its not real and it wont work. If it does have the 2 pins then it should work. Settings are in Settings>General>Accessory>S View Cover.

Worst case scenario if you don want to buy another case, can try automaton suggested by Uncle Benny

I bought it last time at All IT @ Low Yat, but I believe you can find it easily in any IT shop as I have saw it multiple times in other shop. Just find those that can resist fingerprint, else the normal cleaning spray is just normal alcohol and won't resist any fingerprint.

Side effect, you will get smooth gliding feeling instead of tacky feeling of cheap SP.

Yup, this only appear on S4 or newer device after a big hu hah of S4 TouchWiz taking up too much space and public taking a class action lawsuit. Then Samsung gave in and enable Move to SD function (which available on android by default!).

My guess is those newer touchwiz, 4.2 and above only will have it sad.gif

Samsung has again made this feature available from 4.2 onwards (should be due to customer complaints especially with S4 in the EU)
Even if Note 2 does not get 4.2, you should get this feature in the future 4.3
In my Note 8, I upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 and the move apps to SD card is available.

Hi, been following this thread. Too fast smile.gif

I've not been able to activate the one hand operation mode. The one with shrunk window. I've watched a few YouTube tutorials and followed exactly but to no avail.

Can you share your experience?

I think not every apps able to do that.
When you enable it from settings control. Then swipe from the left to middle of screen then back to the left. Its quite straight forward step which as shown in the tutorial when you enable it. Need a few try thought

Is this consider the real 2 copper pins?

I'm afraid those aren't the pins you are looking for. Where did you buy that? Did he say is ori cover? Price is standard around RM189. I suggest you go back to the shop where you bought it and clarify with them. These 2 Pins are sort of like the "detector" of ori casing.

Did some testing with and without the back cover attached. When attached, placing a magnet at the bottom left of your screen triggers the s-view. When detached, placing a magnet at the same location does nothing.

Yes, his price is always lower.
The moderating team loves to patron from him. laugh.gif

Any problem, just bring back to Samsung.
But once you open the seal, can check around the phone.

Not for now, hopefully Samsung will release fixes through its firmware update.
Anyway, the heat is bearable for me. So, not much an issue.
For such a fast phone, I think the heat is unavoidable.

yeah.. hopefully a firmware update will fix this. sad.gif

was kind of disappointed because Xperia S heats up like crazy and restarts itself when it reaches the limit. then i bought a note 2 and no more such problem. such joy!!!

and i came back to such a problem in note 3. sad.gif
maybe it's just me but it's so hot that my hands are actually sweating. that's why i'm a bit worried.
