GETTING A 2nd HAND NOTE 3 - IMPORTANT STEP !!!!

Make sure the seller has done this !!!!

» 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.

In 2002 - it was already speculated that your phone will become your computer:
The Economist - 2002-11-21 - Computing's new shape

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.

PRIOR CHANGELOGS

Previous Versions

*Note: v1 was actually started on 01-Aug, but closed by mod the same day, and then re-opened on 15-Aug, so 15-Aug is treated as the start date.

Typically I will begin new versions at 00:00 of the day, so Started will be 00:00 of day 1, and Ended is considered as 23:59 of the end date for ease of calculation.

by Charles Chambers

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.

> 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 9 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

Or perhaps more politely, "unbranded clones"

Android Central on Enabling USB Debugging option

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.

This is a very good article on perception of "lag". Please, 500milliseconds, even 100 times a day, is not going to kill you.

Lag isn’t always a death sentence

long press home button -> tap on the pie chart (left) -> Clear Default

and clear TouchWiz Home as default. Press home button again and you'll be prompted to select TW or Nova. Then set Nova as default.

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

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....

Vibration Intensity

WiLyi,Sep 30 2013, 01:39 AM

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.

smongium1984,Oct 1 2013, 04:28 PM

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~~~

Issues/Defects

This section will list defects discovered by thread members, and any solutions found or known.

The "Type" column will be in 5 categories:

HW = Hardware related - send it back to the service center
ROM = firmware related - Samsung can update or has updated this for a fix
SW = Software related ie some apps are not compatible with the current Samsung ROM or Android version.
PEBKAC = user error....replace user.... whistling.gif
??? = Cause and/or Solution not yet known

Knox "fix" for "Prevention Information"
Andrewtst's clear outline of stuff to freeze to stop Knox from displaying the annoying popup V9/#2206 - 2013-11-04
This is caused by Knox settings and some apps are tripping it to give this popup titled "Prevention Information". It has been reported occurring almost daily, and various users have also posted fixes. There's no real fix actually except to either root and freeze it, or accept the 30 day ignore checkbox.

QUOTE
The only solution now is happily see it every 30 days or..... root and disable all KNOX things, total 5 apps related to KNOX, include:
- KNOX 1.0
- KNOX 1.0 (don't ask me why duplicate)
- KLMS Agent 1.5
- Knox Notification Manager 1.0 (this should be the one buzz people)
- KNOX Store 1.0

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

BENT/DENTED/DEFORMED BEZEL DEFECT
IF you have the "bent/deformed bezel defect" please submit your username and defect details here via this form for a consolidated view of how many are impacted.

See the pic of the defect by azwan80 >> HERE <<

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.

HEAT

*** THIS IS NOT A DEFECT !!! ***

Perception of "Heat"
Modern high performance mobile SoCs do generate heat. This is an unavoidable result of more transistors, higher frequencies and more features.

Some have posted about "my phone feels very hot." This is a QUALITATIVE statement with no numbers.

Please provide QUANTITATIVE statements like "my phone reached XX degrees when I was doing YY"

Recommended apps are System Tuner, by 3C here or Android Tuner, by 3C here. These apps provide CPU Temperature which is the correct reading and NOT the Battery temperature which is the only reading most monitoring apps provide.

The reported range of CPU temperature is from about 30C on idle or IM/light activity to about 60C to 63C while browsing and/or playing games. Some users report a high of only about 45 degrees for their Note 3's regardless of activity.

So DO NOT BE ALARMED if your Note 3 reaches 60 degrees. This temperature is uncomfortable to touch for more than 1 minute (or less for some) but Samsung seems to have alleviated this by placing the SoC at the topmost part of the device beside the camera module so that in portrait mode you don't actually feel it.

So please provide QUANTITATIVE descriptions when posting about heat.



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


Legal Redress

IF you ever need to file a Consumer Tribunal Complaint against a seller OR Samsung.

The following posts are from the HTC One thread. For some unfortunate reason, the HTC One was reported in its own thread with a lot of defects and a very large number of posts resulted from disappointed owners. Some offered tips on submitting claims to the Consumer Tribunal.

It is hoped that we do not need to resort to such actions where Samsung is concerned.

Go to the shop you buy from and give them 1 copy of Form 1 and 3 copies of Form 3, get them to chop on your Form 1 = 20 minutes? depends how far is the shop.

Jason,Oct 22 2013, 11:45 PM

Well, there's no need to debate, you just need HTC to write you to say
1. Your unit has a camera hardware problem
2. Your warranty is void because of ........
3. How much you have to pay to repair the camera hardware problem

You just tell HTC, if they void your warranty, you want it in writing.

AFTER you do that step either a. they give it to you in writing OR b. they don't.

Either way, you have a case with tribunal. With this letter, when you go tribunal, you will win already. Without the letter also you can win, because it is unlawful to void your warranty without a valid reason what. If its void, then they can give black and white stating why, if they cannot give a black and white document stating why then they are denying you warranty that you should rightfully get.

If I sell you a Macbook Air, you delete Mac OS X and install Windows, and the screen spoil, I cannot deny you warranty right?

Same logic bro.

EDIT: And HTC won't dare to lie in court, at least they didn't lie in my case, they admitted the original part number had a hardware issue.

***Rooting IS ABOUT FREEDOM AND CONTROL - you CONTROL YOUR DEVICE. YOU PAID FOR IT !!***






contributed by benny888 via S3 thread




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


This section contains an explanation of what rooting is and some additional information FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. READ THIS FIRST PLEASE.

After you've understood this post, proceed to the NEXT POST (Advanced Topics Part 2) for ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS.


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.

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.

This means that you need to pair correct kernel versions with ROM versions when you flash......


Latest Rooting Methods as of 2013-11-12 - Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3

Option 3 is the preferred method to upgrade your ROM AFTER you have rooted with either Option 1 or 2. The details of Option 3 have been posted on XDA >> HERE <<
Those with an XDA account, appreciate your Thanks in the thread to both WiLyi (aka williamyi) in post 2, as he is the first person to discover the method. I won't mind a Thanks too if you wish tongue.gif


Option 1:

Option 2:
PART 1:
Before embarking on Option 2, you NEED to be first rooted. See the steps under ARCHIVED below for the Root de la Vega method, but you need to download the files from the links here as designgears has removed the files from his XDA posts.

Links here courtesy Waveweaver: >> V10/#1259 <<

antt00,Nov 11 2013, 11:54 AM

Done updated to MJ7 and rooted. Knox still 0x0, i got no camera to show that now.
Steps i did
1) Download full firmware from sammobile (Hotfile is super slow. dry.gif)
2) URDLV to get the patched system.img.ext4 and cache.img
3) Extract the original rom tar file
4) Delete aboot.mbn
5) Replace system.img.ext4 and cache.img (frankly i dun think cache.img is actually patched but oh well no harm just replacing it) with patched one
6) Repack to tar.md5 using cygwin cos i dun have linux.  tongue.gif
7) Flash with odin v3.09
8) Reroot using RDLV

Done.

Clarification of step no 6:

antt00,Nov 11 2013, 12:35 PM

Cygwin is a separate program. Kinda like a linux dos that can run on windows cos you need to execute commands to make the tar.md5.

Google for it and install. Then run these command to make tar rom file.
CODE
tar -H ustar -c boot.img cache.img.ext4 modem.bin ...... tz.mbn > your_rom_file_name.tar


And then to add md5 into the tar file
CODE
md5sum –t your_rom_file_name.tar >> your_rom_file_name.tar


And  then to convert tar to tar.md5
CODE
mv your_rom_file_name.tar your_rom_file_name.tar.md5

As of 2013-11-11, 22:51, >>mervin8706, v10/#1039<< has successfully rooted without tripping the Knox counter with these steps.


Option 3: credits to WiLyi for discovering this, a WORLD FIRST

This is his proof >> V10/#1054 <<

Procedures:

YOU MUST be FIRST ROOTED using either Option 1, or Option 2 PART 1 first.

Flash straight using Mobile Odin Pro without any repacking step. Don't blame me if it doesn't work for you. I myself never thought it will work after everyone mentioned Knox will be tripped. I tried it just for the experiment request from waveweaver since I'm ready to trip the Knox, but voila, it works for me.

All the best to you bro and hopefully we can get more statistics here. But make sure you are well prepared to trip the Knox first.

1. Download UK' MJ7 firmware.
2. Extract the tar.md5 (I placed in internal SD - not sure if this make any differences)
3. Open the tar.md5
4. Check:
    i.   Everroot
    ii.  Inject SuperSU
    iii. Inject Mobile Odin
5. Flash

About Mobile Odin - Waveweaver >> V10/#1171 <<
QUOTE
waveweaver,Nov 12 2013, 03:39 PM

For those who still unfamiliar about MobileOdin Pro (MOP)..here the steps when updating your rooted stock phone with new stock firmware.

- download the new stock firmware from Sammobile.com.
- put the zip files in internal or external sdcard.
- open MOP and press 'open files' in partitions section.
- select your new firmware zip files.
- MOP will ask whether you want to extract the zip files.
- let MOP extract the zip files into .tar.md5 files.

- once extraction finish..press 'open files' again.
- select your new .tar.md5 files and MOP will auto fill all the necessary partitions.
- make sure your Everroot section are ticked (all should already ticked by default) to preserve your root..superSU..MOP.
- flash the new firmware.
- MOP will ask whether you want to check the .tar.md5 files.
- let MOP check the .tar.md5 files and proceed the flashing.
- the phone will auto reboot after finished flashing.

XDA - Fix FC for Note 3 Android 4.3 Titanium Backup - clfoong - 2013-10-15

QUOTE
This fix solves force close issues with restoring apps with data in Titanium Backup.

This operation recursively fixes all SElinux file markers in /data/data, which are spoiled by titanium during data restore. (Quote from vodkinagdan)

User vodkinagdan found this solution:

Simply execute this from the terminal emulator:

su
restorecon -R -v /data/data

This has to be done after every restore (or batch of restores).

I take no credit for this but it works!

vodkinagdan has sent fix to Titanium Track.




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


Unrooting (ie Return to Stock)


Assuming you HAVE NOT tripped the Knox Warranty flag during rooting, there may be reasons you wish to unroot your phone (selling, send in for warranty etc).

To do so, perform the following:

1. Disable and uninstall all mods (Xposed framework etc)
2. Factory reset
3. Now you can select "Unroot" from SuperUser and reset again, then let it be, OR
4. Flash in STOCK FIRMWARE via PC Odin
5. Factory reset again

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.

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?


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.

Tutorial by shadowzephyr - V6/1239
QUOTE
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

ooh icic, note 3 rooting need to use special way to not trigger the knox flag that will void your warranty. its quite different from note 2. but still he shouldn't have simply root without you asking lol.

so if one day u wanna root, make sure to ask here first, not ask your friend.

Thanks. I apply immediately and really like it. Very smooth surface, even smoother than using the screen nakedly. And the oleo coating is really good, got no finger prints or oil residue left on the screen after an hour of use. Let see how long it can last.

Edit: No issue using it with the super tight iFace casing. I believeIit won't have any issue with UAG. Now just hope It will come earlier.

Man, disappointed with note 3 gaming performance. Why is it using 2+1 cores for gaming? (1st 2 cores running at 1.7Ghz) (3rd core running at only 1.2Ghz or less ). Most phones running perfectly smooth cause their configuration is ( 1st 2 cores running max - 2.2/2.3Ghz ). I hope samsung is well aware of this situation and try to patch it.

I suppose you could provide the game name, rom version and how you determine that the cores are running at that speed?

It's a standard cable. If it can consistently pull 1800 then it's good quality otherwise throw it away and buy a new cable.

I started receiving Knox warning since this morning. I believe it is due to the recent update of Google Play services. Saw the Lookout app scanning last night. It was updated automatically.

Think it was trying to access system and therefore triggering the Knox warning.

This is what happens when you attempt to "jail" an open OS.

That said, the entire idea behind Knox (a safe sandbox for business users) is sound; interesting even. But forcing it down our throats? Sigh.

Off topic: Today I finally taste the iPad Air, total 3 units I try.

I am extremely disappointed! Pure smoothness in iOS no longer there!

I give before pure smoothness in Custom Android 95%, pure Android 98%. Then this iPad Air only can score maximum 90% in pure smoothness. Fail! This showing how fail iOS in higher resolution! Now I know why Apple user complain in iOS and then why appear Reduce Motion feature in latest iOS 7 now! iPad Air only can use when reduce motion is ON. Reduce Motion basically just turn the effect to fade effect. doh.gif

Now I am pretty sure won't buy iPad mini 2 or iPad Air cause it is worst than Android in pure smoothness.

Think we are correct this time about the Knox in which it hit us all at almost the same time.... Right after google play service updated itself.

However, as what she said, consider the CPU is running slower than the XZU, and it does seem subjective. Probably a governor issue which can be sorted out by a custom kernel......if you want to trip Knox.... tongue.gif

Off topic: Today I finally taste the iPad Air, total 3 units I try.

I am extremely disappointed! Pure smoothness in iOS no longer there!

I give before pure smoothness in Custom Android 95%, pure Android 98%. Then this iPad Air only can score maximum 90% in pure smoothness. Fail! This showing how fail iOS in higher resolution! Now I know why Apple user complain in iOS and then why appear Reduce Motion feature in latest iOS 7 now! iPad Air only can use when reduce motion is ON. Reduce Motion basically just turn the effect to fade effect.  doh.gif

Now I am pretty sure won't buy iPad mini 2 or iPad Air cause it is worst than Android in pure smoothness.

I believe fruitos relies on fixed bitmap sizes with strict precalculations to ensure smoothness. Once they abandoned this and went pure vector, I think they are in v1.0 land....

Finger to the fruit thumbup.gif

So to compensate, they reduce the vector effects to some pixel shading. So net effect = zero improvements with more calculations to make.

Hahaha welcome bro. I really hope Samsung will work on that and release a firmware update to fix it. It's weird that my note 3 is taking more juice from android OS than my screen on time. Does that happen to most note 3 users? and the standby time is not that great either cause most of my juice used up for 1)Android OS 2) android system 3) screen 4) cell standby 5)device idle. Hmmmm

Install Wake Lock Detector and Better Battery Stats. You probably have NLP wakelocks. Turn off all Location based settings. Read post 6 under Wakelocks.

Doesn't matter. If any "unauthorized" app attempts root access, even if you don't have root, Knox goes mental.

Even IF it's a Sammy app.

It's a philosophical issue, not technical tongue.gif

Samsung probably set the lock in some weird way so that even small things trip it.

In the video, I don't think it's Knox tripping Knox. It's the notification coming from the Knox app, so what tripped it is still unknown.

Are you rooted? If you are, you might have used an app that changes the default font with another font directly (file rename). You'll need the original system font to revert, google for it.

Factory reset will not bring back your font cos factory reset will not touch system partition.

Install back that font app and change the font back to default one by replacing it. What app did you use by the way?

Flashing new rom will 101% bring back your font.

It's a type of wakelock under Android System. Supposed to do with location determination, I think it's Network Location Profile.

So far those reporting high Android System tend to show this as tops.

Not entirely sure if it will trip if you flash a full stock ROM, although I think flashing via odin will give you the new nasty bootloader.

The National Security Agency has secretly broken into the main communications links that connect Yahoo and Google data centers around the world, according to documents obtained from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and interviews with knowledgeable officials.

I have a question, which I personally wonder quite often, maybe some creative minds may supply some plausible answers.

What's really next for mobile computing devices?

We have flexible displays coming.
We have 500ppi+ screens coming.
64bit CPUs will come, and probably 4Gb+ RAM

I understand the bit about the CPUs and RAM. What I can't really see of immediate use is the flexible screen and the 500ppi display.

Probably the same thing will play out as what happened when Intel invented the 4004 in the 70's, and didn't know what to do with it until Japanese companies bought them by the shiploads to make electronic calculators...

Flexible screens = Curved displays. Why? Inherent anti-glare advantages.

500++ ppi displays = 4k screens. Why? Just because. Personally I've yet to see any immediate need to go beyond 720 for smartphones. FHD is already overkill in my books, but hell, more is better right?

4GB RAM and 64bit Procs? Only a matter of time before this happened. Moore's Law if nothing else. I mean my N2 already has more cores and RAM compared to my 7 year old Dell M1210, and it even plays Doom 3 better.

So, with all that in the horizon, what is next? At the rate we're going, it's all gonna be bigger, faster, more feature bloat UNTIL we start packing supercomputers win our pockets. Which is kinda sad really, considering it marks the end of "the age of innovation". The smartphone has started going the way of the computers, a dead end evolution going forward in one straight line.

The only "real" innovation left in the mobile space seems to be what phoneblox and Motorola is promising: modular phones. Which is might not happen simply because it will render the big corporation's main marketing strategy impotent: the yearly phone upgrade cycle.

I'm thinking that this is why the big corps will do everything Iin their power to stop that from happening.

Oh and Google Glass. Which seems to be a more plausible evolutionary step up for the humble smartphone. Google "Dennou Coil" for what the future may hold if we do end up going that way.

Oh, and talking about innovation, Sammy should really start thinking of shrinking the Notes. A Note 3 Mini will slaughter the opposition, even with N2 specs. A phablet is good and all but it's still really bloody huge.

Uh, we can already Chroot fine into Linux what? Sure we need a VNC client to access the GUI, but everything works fine, if not a tad on the slow side.

Plus Windows (up to 98) runs a-ok under DosboxTurbo, even with sound and stuff enabled. Granted it's not a "real" desktop per se but...

Seriously guys, Dennou Coil. Wearables and seamless AR = the future.

@plateau: S series no s-pen. I know I'm being greedy but a S4 sized device with a wacom digitizer... drool.gif

That said Sammy should just make the S-Pen standard with ALL their devices. It's a killer feature on its own.

I want a proper one and done by manufacture, as TS said what else we can demand from manufacture. Well polish is what I'm trying to say.

I know it's possible now through some DIY but I wish for a proper one instead of root/flashing or whatever.

True that. Dual booting a full Linux distro "natively" on a smartphone is great fun, as I've learned back in the glorious N900 days. Not that the N900 wasn't already running "proper" Linux to begin with.

That said, somebody should just stuff Windows 8.1 into a phone already, and Acer seems to be well on it's way with the W3 and W4. It just needs to get smaller lol.

What we're seeing now is a quite ironic really. Phones are trying to become computers, and computers are trying to become phones.

I'll be happy if they start with Linux, low power OS. Windows 8.1 seems like need lot of power to power it. Unless you're talking about Windows 8.1 RT.

My request is simple. Phone is powerful enough but one thing still far behind - the battery.

Any manufacturer that release another revolution in battery will be the king. Let make a fast charging - 1 hour or less and last longer battery - SOT 24 hours + standby 4 days.

Battery is the most important things that need to change, no others else.

With Samsung's rumor plan of releasing foldable screen in 2015, my hope is they could improve the battery life. Our device is very capable in terms of raw power, stability is what we need in the future. Also I wish we can have the option of dual boot OS. Foldable screen could be very practical if it is designed nicely, imagine you can run multiple apps side by side on a larger screen without compromising the visual size. A smaller screen for normal usage while larger one can be used for entertainment and office editing mode.

Honestly, maybe I'm a weird guy, but I don't really prefer a phone to be too slim. In those days, I really like the HTC Titan and Titan II with the slide out hardware full keyboard. I know devices nowadays are getting slimmer, but if it is slightly thicker than our Note 3 and you have the foldable screen, for me I won't complain about it.

But still, battery and stability should be the main focus. Hardware is getting better and better but many apps are not optimized or taking the advantage of the new processor architecture. Next year will be the year of 64bit processor but I wonder, how many years it would take for the app developers to switch to that platform

IMHO foldable screens will NOT make mass market. It will come out, but will hit a specific niche with a need for it, and that's it.

Why? By 2015 wearables will already be taking it's first tentative steps into mass market. By then people will have realised that they have no real need for a foldable physical screen when a Glasses based Optical AR Terminal can (by then or in a few short years from 2015) project as many virtual screens as you need in whatever sizes, anywhere.

Well, as an avid supporter of wearables, or at least AR Optical Terminals, this is what I hope will happen.

Right now what's important is cramming as much power we can into something that can be comfortably carried on our heads. Which, seeing the quadruplization of mobile processing power in the past few years, is proceeding quite nicely.

If the sdk is out with good compilers, probably 12 to 18 months. If not then 2 years. But even with optimal conditions you will not see any usability differences. 32bit vs 64bit linux/windows/fruitos are all the same. Only the underlying kernel is different. Even M$'s own 64bit stuff doesn't play nice with its 32bit stuff sometimes.

I get what you mean. I mentioned 2015 is based on the recent rumors of Samsung gonna release their foldable screen in 2015. Wearable sounds like too future, I think it will only be useful if it could be something like Tony Stark's Javis AI. Then by using a small wearable digital device and a good bluetooth headset, you can have unlimited viewing area tongue.gif

I've said this before, will say it again. Dennou Coil.

Bloody series illustrates the entire idea of an AR Wearable future comprehensively. From multiple windows to virtual input to even spamming (which turns out to become something akin to a visual DDOS attack, plenty dangerous if you get while, say, driving). The plot is a tad on the ehhhh side though (it's actually aimed at actual kids, has really mature themes though), but it's good gadget Pr0n nonetheless.

That said, I really am in the wrong line of work. Pushing the Google Glass aside, who here thinks that the Galaxy Gear would have been MUCH better if it was HUD accessory?

@joytest: Chroot rite? Have to wait until I get enough resources for a bigger mSD card. Right now my 32GB card is getting filled to the brim as it is, and I reckon a 64GB card won't take long to fill up either.

Where the heck are those 128GB cards SanDisk?

It is a nice case but not really too bulky if compared to UAG or iFace or Otterbox. If there is pad on the backside like the UAG it will be perfect so that the backplate won't lean flat on the back. I'm still thinking if I wanna get one. Too many cases rclxub.gif doh.gif

@HoneyHadger: For the least bulk get a thin TPU case like the Diztronic or a Mercury Jelly. A pure polycarb case CAN be made thinner but it will offer negligible protection so why bother?

Best TPU I have EVER used is the Zoogue social case. A shame Zoogue doesn't make them for the Note series though.

A hybrid case will always have more bulk in comparison, which is why I'm holding myself from getting a UAG.

My N2 is huge enough as it is.

Mercury Jelly (for the N2 mind you) which I got for free with my N2. Thin, with perfect cutouts and has a generous lip to protect the screen. Downside is Mercury is actually Korean specific so you get a free hole for your non-existant antenna (which is the same for the N3 version last last I checked).

Check out Diztronic for a good thin TPU without the "ghost antenna" hole. Similarly the SGP Bounce.

@HoneyHadger: For the least bulk get a thin TPU case like the Diztronic or a Mercury Jelly. A pure polycarb case CAN be made thinner but it will offer negligible protection so why bother?

Best TPU I have EVER used is the Zoogue social case. A shame Zoogue doesn't make them for the Note series though.

A hybrid case will always have more bulk in comparison, which is why I'm holding myself from getting a UAG.

My N2 is huge enough as it is.

was previously using the RM15 case below. loved the slimness

Hi all..

Does Note 3 has Samsung Maps just like the Nokia Maps that could be used offline?

I saw the latest Google Maps is installed but there's no way to make it work offline.

I dont' have data plan, only WiFi sad.gif

Thank you.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Any drawbacks of waze? Huhu..

By the way, I really love the google maps. It could even detect my current location whilst at was at car basement..huhu..

The only thing is I cannot use it offline? Is there any solutions for offline google maps? Can I downgrade to the 6 version which can be used offline?

Nope. Almost all the free navigations are online maps. Google map is quite good as you have the voice navigation and constant updates.
If you have extra cash you can try papgo, they are using malsing maps which can be constantly updated for free and have many poi. Alternatively sygic is good with their ui smoothness

I think Waze can download the maps first (please correct me if am wrong).

Another good thing about Waze is the live traffic reports you'll get from other Waze users. Very good for avoiding traffic jams.

You should consider getting a data plan for your smartphone. Smartphone without data is not smart d laugh.gif

Rarely use Google Maps. I will only use Waze and Papago only when there is no data connection for Waze.

Yes, both Google Maps and Waze can download the maps and use offline INM, but I have never try the performance of it yet. But the beauty of Maps and Waze is search the POI on the go and get life traffic updates.

Papago and Sygic can use coordinate search and usually if I need to travel to those ulu ulu place or some specific POI, I will use Papago due to their good database. If just for city travel, I will use Sygic as the interface is nicer and smoother.

Snapdragon or not, installing 100 apps that require startups at boot is going to tax you machine for sure, not to mention it will suck battery like no tomorrow.

Installing apps do not slow down anything, true. But installing apps that silently run around in the background doing only god knows what all day long (Facebook, I'm talking about you) will. Especially if you have zero tech knowledge, are not rooted and have no idea what "Autostarts" or "Greenify" (or any similar app) does.

Which is probably where this entire "Samsung is laggy" crap started anyway.

That said, it's true however that "a few apps" will be total waste of the mighty 800 and the 3GB of RAM, but for sure he (she?) is going to enjoy a helluva longer SOT because of that.

Power users different ler of course.

My request is simple. Phone is powerful enough but one thing still far behind - the battery.

Any manufacturer that release another revolution in battery will be the king.  Let make a fast charging - 1 hour or less and last longer battery - SOT 24 hours + standby 4 days.

Battery is the most important things that need to change, no others else.

I think this has happened to a lot of users actually, especially S4 LTE and S4 Active users (which incidentally all use Qualcomm stuff). A modem update is probably needed, IF it's not a problem with your own sim card to begin with.

That said, I don't see a lot of others here having the same problem (there were a few back in the previous version thread), maybe because everyone is in places with good cellular coverage?

Try out the suggestions by the helpful folks above, it might help.

Sadly , it wouldnt happen here in malaysia with the same device due to our " advance " coverage . Take Ip5 for example . How many of us have use it before and complain poor battery life ? I get a day or more before i ran out of battery in UK last year but same usage in malaysia , 5 - 6 hours .

I received the Brando Powercase Jacket 3800 mAh yesterday and it works very well providing additional power to the phone. It is basically a clipon case. Assuming it gives you 80% efficiency it is just like having an additional battery to your phone. Only negative it adds a slight bulk to phone ( total width is now 15 mm vs original 8.3mm ) with a total weight of 300gm vs 168 gm without it
I quite like the added weight as it gives a more solid feel to the phone
Bought it just to test it out
The powercase charges the phone approx 25% per hour
Might be more practical getting an extra battery instead
There is now available another model costing US$4 ( US$38) more that comes with a flip cover

Just Knox Notification. Its normal. Why u panic.  doh.gif

Sammy has managed to make people hate knox that much lol. So much for their PR budget.

It's getting quite ridiculous now really. It's like every other app triggers the Knox notifications lol. Normal users automatically think knox trigger = out of warranty and they panic.

Way to make your customers feel good Sammy.

Plus if to u wanna get rid of it, you have to root...

How all of us wish Sammy will boot out Knox but don't think it will happen. The current trend is there will be some
kind of 'Knox' in all new platforms. Sad but true. sad.gif

I tried sony experia Z1, the camera is so much smoother compared to GN3.
The "smooth" I meant is no motion blur when you move your camera (not taking pictures yet or recording video).

In contrast, GN3 is stuttering if you move your camera around. (not taking pictures yet)

Not sure how to explain the situation, hope some1 else can elaborate better.

The sensor and module is different. The z1 module is a pretty cool piece of engineering so I bet it should perform nicely. I know what you mean about the stutter.

Thanks for clarifying.
Personally, I think this little simple trick is very essential.
It makes the user experience of using the camera much superior than other phone.

I used to show off the camera of GN3 to my gf.
I said GN3 can shoot very clear image under good light condition.
But she always complain GN3 is very bad in low light condition, and I pretty much agree with her.

Now, after seeing the smoothness of xperia Z1, she ask me:
"why your camera so lag 1?? your 1 not fastest phone meh??"

At times some small road might not be updated via Google maps yet. It takes time and sometime don't be surprised that Google map will ask youto turn into a dead end or one way street

so I bought a note 3 SME and I have 2 questions here for sifus :-

1. used it a week, still no idea how to register warranty on it (some ask me to go to Samsung Malaysia website, enter serial number to register), is it as easy as that? I've tried but seems to get stuck somewhere in the page sad.gif

2. LED indicator light settings - some says Lightflow, while others prefer Light Manager, any suggestion which is better? Another question on LED, if I have it green on miss call, blue on sms, what colour LED will I be able to see if it clashes (miss call and sms same time)?

thx !

Yes, only one version of Maps for Android regardless which brand of mobile you are using. So far the map is not bad I would say, it is quite accurate nowadays although it could be out of route for those rural or newly developed garden. Mine is quite accurate I would say. Not really that bad.

SME E-Warranty registration can ONLY be done by parties appointed by Samsung Malaysia, i.e. sellers. Check with the shop you bought it from. Otherwise you need to find someone who can to help you.

IINM you CANNOT do it on your own.

Back in the S3 days there was someone who could help register E.W, I'm not so sure now.

Be careful with rooting the N3. Check front page before trying anything or else you will trip Knox for real (the bootloader counter, not the dumb notifications) and possibly lose warranty, for real this time.

Things have changed since the N2 days. Not for the better unfortunately, especially for us rootholics. Even the N2 is getting Knoxed bootloaders for the upcoming 4.3 releases it seems.

For number 1:
It's quite simple to register yourself via online in samsung website, make sure you provide the picture of the receipt that you bought this phone.

For number 2:
Should be blue.
You can understand it better by go to Settings > Device > LED indicator, in there you can see four checkbox for Charging, Low battery, Notifications and Voice recording. Each of it have it's own description for red, green and blue.

I remember green LED should be 100% full charging, not for miss call.
If miss call and sms come at the same time, it should be blue LED.

I've used this type with my Note 2 before. Obviously no drop protection but will prevent scratches.

It's slow because of their China servier. If you have install Kies before you should have the driver already.

is there such a flip case that could maintain the original leather back cover of the note 3? huhu...

i prefer flip case because can protect the main screen if the phone accidentally fell off, but i dont like the cover to be bulky.. and i love the back cover so much..

You can try Samsung S View cover. It retains almost the same faux leather back look (in fact got better feel compared to the original battery door) and it doesn't add much bulk to the thickness. Furthermore it got the smart function.

I believe you are previously coming from iOS? Android don't have such notification badge on the icon. So far only Facebook has it. If you want the notification badge, you need to install other launcher and use custom notification counter

Off topic: Today I finally taste the iPad Air, total 3 units I try.

I am extremely disappointed! Pure smoothness in iOS no longer there!

I give before pure smoothness in Custom Android 95%, pure Android 98%. Then this iPad Air only can score maximum 90% in pure smoothness. Fail! This showing how fail iOS in higher resolution! Now I know why Apple user complain in iOS and then why appear Reduce Motion feature in latest iOS 7 now! iPad Air only can use when reduce motion is ON. Reduce Motion basically just turn the effect to fade effect.  doh.gif

Now I am pretty sure won't buy iPad mini 2 or iPad Air cause it is worst than Android in pure smoothness.

I believe fruitos relies on fixed bitmap sizes with strict precalculations to ensure smoothness. Once they abandoned this and went pure vector, I think they are in v1.0 land....

Finger to the fruit  thumbup.gif

So to compensate, they reduce the vector effects to some pixel shading. So net effect = zero improvements with more calculations to make.

Maybe, who knows? You have a point though. 64 bits allows some calculations to happen faster although that should already be handled by the gpu which is supposed to do vector redraws without breaking a sweat.

One article said that they wanted to unify both ios and macos and challenge Intel, which again may have some truth to it.

My request is simple. Phone is powerful enough but one thing still far behind - the battery.

Any manufacturer that release another revolution in battery will be the king.  Let make a fast charging - 1 hour or less and last longer battery - SOT 24 hours + standby 4 days.

Battery is the most important things that need to change, no others else.
*
i think in terms of fast charge, sony already did that right? i did use xperia p and zl before it mention it provide fast charging with the original charger. but didnt actually measure it.

Sand yes i agree with you that battery side technology is not that fast moving compare to other handphone hardware

Or maybe they're just getting ready for the next stage? Stuffing more than 4GB+ of RAM in phones lol will NEED a 64bit proc lol.

A wonder what they're gonna use it for though, and I personally think it's a move Android vendors will make first (in line with their current feature bloating) before the fruit guys.

5GB of RAM in phones lol. 1 more GB and it can run COD Ghosts already.

Guys, the 3rd hole near the right side of the speaker is not a microphone. Its the hole for a sensor such as humidity. I tried blowing into it with a humidity app and it spikes up and down depending if I blow in or suck out.

Ps: this maybe old info but just to let people who don't know.

Therefore you can actually afford to cover the hole with a case but make sure its not a 100% seal off.

Honestly, maybe I'm a weird guy, but I don't really prefer a phone to be too slim. In those days, I really like the HTC Titan and Titan II with the slide out hardware full keyboard. I know devices nowadays are getting slimmer, but if it is slightly thicker than our Note 3 and you have the foldable screen, for me I won't complain about it.

But still, battery and stability should be the main focus. Hardware is getting better and better but many apps are not optimized or taking the advantage of the new processor architecture. Next year will be the year of 64bit processor but I wonder, how many years it would take for the app developers to switch to that platform

+1, device too thin/light holding in ur palm also feel not so comfortable. they should focus in improve battery technology and not the speed anymore ,

What glass sp you are using? I believe if your sp is not thicker than 0.4mm, it should be able to fit the casing nicely. Spigen own glass tR is 0.4mm and it is compatible with their Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor. So, I don't see any issue with it.

I received the Brando Powercase Jacket 3800 mAh yesterday and it works very well providing additional power to the phone. It is basically a clipon case. Assuming it gives you 80% efficiency it is just like having an additional battery to your phone. Only negative it adds a slight bulk to phone ( total width is now 15 mm vs original 8.3mm ) with a total weight of 300gm vs 168 gm without it
I quite like the added weight as it gives a more solid feel to the phone
Bought it just to test it out
The powercase charges the phone approx 25% per hour
Might be more practical getting an extra battery instead
There is now available another model costing US$4 ( US$38) more that comes with a flip cover

what about the fit and finish?
let's say the ends of the SP extends to the edge a little bit more and then BAM, your case will just not fit or will lift the SP

or

the edges are sharp and not chamfered then it might cause not so good fit

hahahahaha

the secret is to get Note 2 glass sp since its coverage is much smaller and will nicely cover the LCD part of the phone's front

From my Brando 0.4mm rounded sp, the width of the sp is slightly smaller than the phone's width. And the iFace casing just cover the chrome part and extend very very little to the front fascia.

No need Note II sp, just get the rounded one should do. You got use Note 2's sp meh whistling.gif

Or maybe they're just getting ready for the next stage? Stuffing more than 4GB+ of RAM in phones lol will NEED a 64bit proc lol.

A wonder what they're gonna use it for though,  and I personally think it's a move Android vendors will make first (in line with their current feature bloating) before the fruit guys.

5GB of RAM in phones lol. 1 more GB and it can run COD Ghosts already.

i don think iphone going to be 4gb ram in their next release as currently their ip5s only 1gb only (if i am not wrong)... apply change their hardware lesser then software... so i guess they apply 64-bits more or less is due to the calculation i/o in the ios7 software. and then they just use this 64-bits as their marketing strategy ...

i agree

they should start optimizing code instead of maximizing hardware

quad core at 2.3GHz is more than my macbook in 2010 mang

luckily macbook has 4gb ram

Smart IR Remote

It can control my AC, TV and Astro. But it is very pricey. My friend has it and I tested it out. If it is not really that important then just leave it

If we can have hardware virtualization in 64bit arm it will be a fantastic boost for multi boot OSes.

I did ask earlier, are you running linux on your note2? Tried it with an mhl?

I wonder if allocating 1gb to the vm in note3 will let become a desktop replacement of sorts...

Planning to, not yet as I'm running outta space on my micro SD. I do have the MHL cable so I'll try that out the moment I get a new mSD card.

They say using a "better" VNC viewer makes the interface smoother too, will try that out.

Sand yes i agree with you that battery side technology is not that fast moving compare to other handphone hardware

It is still not fast enough, whatever did now is not revolution in battery. Battery never improvement since at least 5 years ago. Increase capacity is not improvement.

Hi guy, any clue for the issue that I'm facing now on my Note 3. When I charge my phone until the Green notification light appears and screen show the message saying it's Charged at 100%, but when I switch off the charger the 100% instantly change to 98% and if I plug in the charger again, within seconds it will show the Charged message and Green notification light appears again and if I switch off the charger now then it will only remain at 100%. What's the problem causing this?

During the time I buy, it seems all model all colors ship to Malaysia.

Then last two days got people PM me, so I check around just notice now Spigen only ship certain model certain color to Malaysia. I think those is previous stock, probably Spigen decide not ship to Malaysia already when re-stocking.

From my experience in handling Samsung devices, the moment you unplug from charger, it will drop to 99% quite fast. But if it drops very fast to 98%, then something might be hogging your battery.

Try to post a wakelock then only we know what is running in the background. Else just based on what you post here, very hard to know what is the cause

But I suspect the chances of hardware issue is higher, because I have been seeing my friend using some sort of non original cable to charge their phone and eventually can't get to full charged at 100%. I don't really suspect it's the software that drain the battery so fast within seconds as I mentioned that if I re-plug again the charger and within seconds it will jump back to 100% and stay still in 100% even I plug out my charger. So I'm suspecting it's the charger or the usb cable problem as I just exchanged a brand new charger from samsung due to my previous one was faulty. But I have tried to use another USB 3.0 cable to do charging but still the same issue, but haven't tried with other charger yet, but maybe I will do a factory reset to see if this issue fix.

Anyway thanks for your clue. biggrin.gif

Use the galaxy charging current and test your incoming current. You should get 1800 in the first few seconds when you start it from screen off. It drops to 1200 during screen on.

They are flashing other countries' firmware because they have tripped the Knox flag. Nothing wrong doing that, it's just that there's the potential warranty void issue.

If you've already tripped the flag, then go ahead and flash. Otherwise you run the risk of tripping Knox.

you can do so from the web UI too. Selecting a file within the [Pubilc Folder], the [Copy Public Link] will appear on top

What browser are you using? I'm on my notebook using Iron browser (a Chrome re-compile stripping out all "send to Google" code) and the page is sized nicely.

I find FF doesn't perform any resize and probably busts the screen width.

Just tried with FF....spoilered now.

Errr....well I thought purists want the original file for analysis tongue.gif

How to web optimize in dropbox? I don't do a lot of image processing so I'm not familiar, and I'm sort of a purist myself so I don't mind the option of being able to download the original.

I thought the [img] tag just performs a display in the post, you don't need to download if you don't want?

How to web optimize in dropbox? I don't do a lot of image processing so I'm not familiar, and I'm sort of a purist myself so I don't mind the option of being able to download the original.

I thought the [img] tag just performs a display in the post, you don't need to download if you don't want?

the browser still needs to pull down all 3.1MB of it before it can be displayed. anyway..it's ok .. just that i'm sort of a fast-loading-web-page purist myself tongue.gif

Did you install the drivers or Kies 3 on your PC?

Note 3 uses the microusb 3, but is backwards compatible with the usual microusb 2.


miniusb is the older standard used by the earlier Blackberry phones.

i've tried install the drivers from so many sources but still fail.

Also has installed KIES but still the same.

the usb 3 cable connection is OK, but i'm too lazy to plug in/plug out the cable from the wall charger.

So I want to use the existing mini usb cable.

since my laptop can, why my PC can'[t? sad.gif

Beware the Beijing smog. It was horribly bad last year coz everyone had to burn coal warmers during winter. You may not get to take any pics except grey here and grey there. And you will need an air filter rebreather mask laugh.gif

How did you extract the firmware zip files from Sammobile into .tar.md5 files for flashing..?
- some app only manage certain/half extraction..not full. My Androzip app only manage to extract around 1.7GB out of the 1.4GB zip file when full extraction should be 2.2GB.
- I suggest you put the Sammobile zip files into MobileOdin and let the app extract the zip files for you as I found that MobileOdin can manage full extraction.
- uncomplete extraction can lead to bootloop...or like you case, modem was not included in the flashing.

Looks normal when wipe clean

But when smudged or fogged up, there is this in the middle of the screen.

I tried with glass cleaner, cannot wipe the mark away.

Think the Gorrila Glass coating got scratched. And the line marking matches the bottom line of the S-View casing window.

Feels coarse when I run my fingernail through it.

I had the same problem too. What I did was restart the phone while connected to the laptop and then let windows search and install the drivers automatically. These took about 2 hours because my internet is slow maybe but as long as laptop can detect I'm happy already.

I forgot to mention I tried installing from Helium drivers, KIES but everything just does not work before that.

hmmm...

i think its something etched there that might be the same alkaline as your glass cleaner hence its not removable

try
1. claying the part using an automotive paint clay (if you have) with minimal water as lubricant
2. using IPA to wipe off the part

Since it can fill the modem#2 section then you can just flash the modem only.

Since it can fill the modem#2 section then you can just flash the modem only.
After that see if your CP change to MJ7 or still at MJ4.

Just flashed. Still the same MJ4. Lolz smile.gif

I had the same problem too. What I did was restart the phone while connected to the laptop and then let windows search and install the drivers automatically. These took about 2 hours because my internet is slow maybe but as long as laptop can detect I'm happy already.

I forgot to mention I tried installing from Helium drivers, KIES but everything just does not work before that.

Thank you.... I'll try out later..

Actually what can they really do with your imei? In the days of analog phones they could clone it but current gsm security is good enough to detect duplicates.

Its like looking up a public directory and finding Wong Fei Hung has a phone number... so?

But of coz it's the other unknown stuff that vroot and kingo do that is of concern.

Actually I also wonder the same thing. Is just like if someone got your IC number but not your physical IC, nothing much they can do. The main concern if they are able to collect your contact info or sms also some of your confidential data.

Maybe I'm a noob in security thingy but just my thought

this is what i have from my knowledge so far.

china phone imei is usually start with invalid number - example 0

so, maybe they will use the imei that they stolen, to put this in the china phone.

when you do location update (on the phone, and register to the network), telco already know your device details based on imei.

with the current stolen phone cases nowadays, gov is now trying to coming out with a initiative to allow the device to be block when its reported as stolen.

when blocked, no telco in malaysia will allow the device to be in their network.

this implementation, however has some flaws as;

1) no device information for china phone
2) invalid imei from china phone
3) dual sim phone

this 3 is not supported to be block.

You mean the notification on the status bar or the unread count badge on the top right corner of the app's icon? Android will show the notification on the status but not the unread count on the icon, unless the developer supports it. Not the fault of Android.

Speaking of no notification from whatsapp, an interesting incident occurred to my N3 this morning.

Usually I didn't bother about the 'an app been forced closed due to security measure blablabla' warning. I got that after installed bistrip app anyway.

But then I didn't realised the warning actually forced close my whatsapp. No new message could come in unless I open the whatsapp app manually and then only whatsapp download new messages. Now, to be safe I just left my phone at whatsapp window before turn off the screen.

Is there anyone facing the same issue?

I don't really think it is caused by the knox prevention message. Sometimes whatsapp will be slow in retrieving message. Try to monitor a few more hours first.

Well , if ppl spend a bit of time reading , issues would have been avoided . Example of the complains :

Error on Galaxy S4 Every time I try to disable the notifications the app quits and when I open it back up I get an "su binary not found in /bin or /xbin" error

Duh , not rooted how 2 use ?

I just about to say the same thing. People nowadays takes things for granted. Developer spent hours and hours to develop an app or ROM or even spent time to put down everything in the first page, yet people jump into the conclusion with further reading.

are you going to be transfering large amount of files in and out of your phone? and do you need to transfer like very very fast? I'm using sandisk 64gb ultra here and i feel transfering files from phone to laptop using usb 3.0 is very fast already. You don't need a high reading speed for a phone as it is not utilized, so i suggest you save that money and go for a larger capacity

I posted in android thread and seem no response.

wanna ask about data consumption.

Whenever I open Facebook, just scroll down without clicking anything (pictures, post comment, like etc etc), its consume 2-3 MB. (30 seconds to one minute) When i back to home menu and return to facebook, its consume another 2-3 MB.

Before this I`m using Iphone and the data consumption is lesser. So, would like to know is it normal for the amount of data consumption. ??

Thank you in advance

Buy a legit original S View cover at Samsung Store, RM 189 per cover, it will work without need of third party apps.

All third party apps is not worth to install, beside buggy also drain battery.

I've read briefly that magnets (from non-original cases) and screen protectors that are too thick can cause similar problems.

What case and screen protector are you using?

Try removing the S View cover completely and try the test again. If you are still facing the problem, I guess it's time to visit the service center...

Why not? I was using Extreme series for my 550D before I changed to 5D.
I can't recall how much is that because I'm no longer using SD, now using CF. Usually one piece of Extreme can buy you around 2 pieces of Ultra. That was when I bought mine 3 years ago.

Hi brothers and sisters,
Need advise on purchasing memory card... icon_question.gif
I am looking for Sandisk...
Which is more worthy?
Sandisk Ultra 64 GB 30MB/s (RM180++) or Sandisk Extreme 32GB 80MB/s (RM175)?
Do we need reading speed 80MB/s for a phone?
Price reference I got from Groupon deals..

Thanks in advance.

*worthwhile*

For a phone, I suppose 30Mb/s is enough since I don't think the write speed of the interface is that fast. In the future, with faster interfaces, maybe.

Is your S View not function or not able to touch but function?

If not function and you assure your S View cover is genuine copy, then bring to the shop you buy and ask them check out. The S View function is automatic enable if your S View cover is genuine which had 2 additional pin at the case there. If don't have then it is fake.

If not able to touch maybe is your screen protector problem, try enable "Increase touch sensitivity" at Settings - Controls.

Speaking of no notification from whatsapp, an interesting incident occurred to my N3 this morning.

Usually I didn't bother about the 'an app been forced closed due to security measure blablabla' warning. I got that after installed bistrip app anyway.

But then I didn't realised the warning actually forced close my whatsapp. No new message could come in unless I open the whatsapp app manually and then only whatsapp download new messages. Now, to be safe I just left my phone at whatsapp window before turn off the screen.

Is there anyone facing the same issue?

yup..this my actual problem.. in ios its show popup banner.. it not mean i want compare android with ios. but with note 3 it didint show notification.

need open manual.

It's not a Note 3 problem, nor really an Android problem as has been explained.

It's a per-app thing where the dev has to implement a notification on the app icon. Some apps have this and some don't.

are you going to be transfering large amount of files in and out of your phone? and do you need to transfer like very very fast? I'm using sandisk 64gb ultra here and i feel transfering files from phone to laptop using usb 3.0 is very fast already. You don't need a high reading speed for a phone as it is not utilized, so i suggest you save that money and go for a larger capacity

Indeed, it is MegaBytes.. my thumbdrive can copy files at speed 4MB/s and my HDD is 50MB/s minimum... so I believe the MicroSD can handle that speed too... Though 30MB/s is the maximum speed quoted by Sandisk... I expect it to have at least 10MB/s transfer rate.

Hi guys, may i know, is there any apps that can prevent any apps from autostart, and after we start any apps, we also can prevent that specific apps to run on background automatically after we close that apps.

You may try Autostarts from playstore if you can comprehend with types of services from particular application. RomToolboxPro also have this feature but Autostarts way more powderful

or

Xposed your phone and install BootManager module


Both can control startup app

launch Greenify > Select the apps that you want to hibernate > tick the "tick" icon.

To hibernate system app you need the paid pro version.

and freeze and hibernate are 2 different things. Freeze is like disable, the apps won't appear in the apps drawer anymore.

Hibernate is completely put the app into sleep and hence no more background process. Plus the app is still visible in your app drawer

Lol. Last time i saw you post your screenshot of xposed module got greenify ticked.


I greenify lots of system apps


And to those who are using greenify, use the widget! Faster! And can hibernate your listed apps with just a tap and don't need to open the app

The most expensive app that I have bought was TiBu Pro, that was $6.99 though expensive but really serves me very well. The free version needs me to keep tapping on every app when I backup and restore. I can't afford to do that. laugh.gif

On another hand, Nova free version is serving me very well. That could be the reason why I don't have the urge to upgrade it to prime version. tongue.gif
