While using 4.3 I can say it makes the phone laggy.  That one of the reason I switch to note 3.

When note 3 now have 4.4 there so much complaint about problem they face.

Even my note 3 running 4.3 I also feel its not butter smooth like note 2 on 4.2
*
I agree but then MOST of the complains are just because they didnt factory reset after updating to 4.4 . However , 4.4 on its own , frankly , kinda regret updating for Note 3 . Samsung implemented touch boost in their 4.4 for Note 3 . Every time u touch the phone , your frequency goes up to above 1000Mhz . That is to make it lag free but at the same time , battery drain is so much higher with it . Even 4.4 update on LG G2 is giving problem until there's 5-6 updates within a month . Overall , beside Nexus series , seems 4.4 is having problems for manufacturers .


QUOTE(gin&tonic @ Feb 14 2014, 01:05 PM)
Yes note 3 need to root & install custom rom to get the smoothness of KitKat.  smile.gif
*
Not everyone knows how to root and install custom recovery . Some dont want to .

Haven't come here in a long time.
Any new custom Rom for Note 3 features you guys recommend?
Except DN3. Phoenix rom good?
Btw, anybody buying Note Pro 12.2?
*
12.2 a bit big dont u think for portability . IMO , 10.1 is the biggest a tablet should be , anything bigger , i rather get a ultrabook .

i try it before, reset back to factory setting does give me a few days of good performance..but after 3 day, things happen again. I didnt install anything except FB and instagram, then ram usage just clocked around 70-80% and even near 90% for no reason...have to clean ram every time to go smooth

then i flash in AOSB 4.4.2, on normal usage, it only took around 500mb ram out of the 2gb ram
*
ROM problem ? Quite happy with Speedwiz rom . I got FB , insta , Wechat , whatsapp , etc with a few synced emails ...... around 900-1000mb free ram most of the time . It's 4.1.2 by the way

thank you edan1979

i got experience using TWRP before.  Last time i used it using the Note2 toolkit but now no more support for it. so i will try to root again by flashing TWRP and then flash custom rom. hope its works. finger crossed.

and bro, you were right by those folks in XDA's N2. they give use very pening punya method.
*
2 things to add in ,

1 -if u full format , u might format your internal memory as well especially in TWRP . Safe side , keep your rom in external sd card .

2 - No root if u r going custom rom . Custom rom already rooted so can skip the rooting step totally . Just install recovery . And make sure it's 4.3 supported . Beside TWRP , Phil is a reliable recovery as well . However , after flashing recovery , be ready to plug out your battery . I normally flash recovery without the battery cover . Dont let it boot pass the samsung logo . Stock rom will replace custom recovery back to stock recovery upon booting up .

if u r talking about Note 2 , the phone is barely 2 years old . As for others , my SGS1 is still with me as a spare phone running on CM and working fine except compared to current models , lag gila . And we were so happy about it back then rclxub.gif

subsales.

plus, at first thought SDS and wanted trade-in, then the shop said maybe its not SDS and they can try to fix it. but i think that time, cannot confirm price yet.
*
If they didnt inform him/her and just replace , u can always reject the repair . It's not like RM70 , its RM700 . At least call and inform the owner if the owner wanna proceed on with the repairs . Not just repair .



QUOTE(lamerz @ Feb 28 2014, 05:50 PM)
Hello,

Just would like to know is there anyone here fixed their Note 2 SDS due to EMMC Chip problem?How is the performance after the repair?

Thanks! smile.gif

No difference . What performance are u referring to that might be effected after a repair of SDS ?

Hi,

I just would like to know if EMMC replacement is the best solution for SDS, or it will recur again in the future?I just feel that it is not economical if I spend RM500 for the repair but can only use my phone only 1 year. smile.gif

Thanks smile.gif
*
Sadly , it's the ONLY solution . And there's nothing concrete so far to prevent it , only minimize it . I think they give u warranty for the parts right ?

Nokia 920/925 around RM1k
The Optimus G Pro has a worse low light performance due to more pixels in a same-sized sensor.

Same goes with the Optimus G

guys

most of you should have known Galaxy S3 and some Note 2 users reported these phone kill microsd cards

mostly sandisk microsd were killed, and some other brand
even though sandisk admitted that they got batch of cards have manufacturing problem

ok now.... my sis had a Kingston microsd on her s3,it's almost a year, her phone start having difficulties to read photos and other media files, or not showing on gallery at all, or unreadable sometime

it still readable on pc with card reader, so i backup her data and format it, well few photos were corrupted

after format and copy the data back,  it's working fine again, but then weeks later, same problem back, this time more files were corrupted compared to the last backup data, then i google for info, just know about s3 note2 would kill microsd, mostly sandisk

my sis card is Kingston brand, so i give it another shot, this time i put it on my note 2 to use (my note 2 doesn't have micro sd yet) and it works just fine,  few days later it started un-mounting and mounting itself and finally sudden died itself few hours ago.

totally not detectable on note 2, my optimus 2x, and even on pc with card reader, now the card is officially dead

just wondering if anyone of you note 2 users, also s3 user have microsd killing problem?

and what microsd you guys use? 
I'm getting my own microsd card for note 2 soon, but really no dare to get sandisk, Kingston

I've read many articles on internet that if microsd card dies on these phones, usually the card itself not really well made, it might not die on other phone and devices, but will still die on some devices like s3 and note 2. the problem is the card

so what do u guys  think..

what card should I get for my note 2?

just an extra note, my bro in law's black note 2 use his sandisk microsd bought from Taiwan just fine, so far no problem
*
Been using Sandisk on my Note 2 since the 1st day i got the phone , AP unit since no SME yet then . Till today , after switching around and still ended up in my Note 2 again . Never face any problem .

then you go ask him to trade with your Note 2.
Actually Note 2 is like the best phone to me in the Samsung Galaxy series because it is highly customisable with its wide range of Custom roms and Knox Free.
Just reflash it with custom rom and you would be fine with it for at least 2 more years.

official 4.3 comes with knox right ?

Dear fellow seniors, may I know what can we deduce if the phone battery is  charging very slow with direct charge from 3-pin socket, approximately 800, monitoring from Galaxy Charging Current whereas my family members charged their phone with the same charger, is faster than mine. Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.

Try out with difference charger and cable . Maybe of it its faulty . And as for your family members , same phone as well ?

recall reading somewhere that for charging... the USB will somehow check the connection type, 'negotiate', and then settle on the current that will pass thru...

one issue i have with powerbank charging is that usually, first few weeks, the cable that comes with the powerbank is still good... can charge almost 2A (as per powerbank). however, later on... the current will drop...

right now... i'm only getting 800mAh even though its on the powerbank's 2A port. different cables will give me different results. i noticed shorter cable is much better.

anyway, using the GCC, i noticed when i first plug in... the current reading is 1800mAh. then... after 2-3 seconds... it drops to about 700-800mAh.

i'm wondering... is there a way to force the charge to be at 1800mAh? anyone got any success getting about 1400mAh (or more) from a2A port on a powerbank? what model? what cable?
*
On 4.3 ? If u r , screen on will drop in GCC . Only with screen off will you get 1800 . Dont think there is a way to force it but 800mAh is a bit low , I get 1200mAh which is average for both Note 2 and 3 . Get a reliable powerbank eg Yaobao , Anker with a 2A port and u can get 1800mAh .
