» 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.

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, unless specified in the time below.

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.

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.

I tried clearing my RAM. Using the active apps option. But it is still eating up approx. 1.6 GB of ram out of 2.38 GB. Is this normal? Where is this 1.6 GB being used?

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

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....

Due to the very detailed listing of posts related to Wakelocks, it caused this post to hit the max character limit of 48k characters. Therefore it is split into 2 sections.

Vibration Intensity

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.

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~~~

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

Issue 014 by vinnilaa, additional update:

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  :stars:  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...  :x

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.

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


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

Quote:

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

QUOTE
Sammobile - The Update text:
UPDATE: 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.
QUOTE
AndroidCentral's article excerpt:
Region-locke​d, except for when it's not
The region-lock only kicks in if you first "activate" it with a SIM from outside the list of approved countries.

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.

Those that are still unrooted on MJ1 can just upgrade straight to ML2 to get root with this file. Just flash it in AP using PC Odin and follow the remaining steps of RDLV to obtain root. There is no need to factory reset or flashing any other CSC (It comes with the required CSC already)

Unconventional shady rooting methods

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



IF YOU ARE ALREADY ROOTED

Option 1 is the preferred method to upgrade your ROM AFTER you have rooted. The details of Option 1 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: FLASHING USING MOBILE ODIN PRO 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.

WiLyi,Nov 12 2013, 02:07 AM

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.

LOL..I know you can't stand  tongue.gif

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

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.

Mobile Odin and the Partition Error Message

I keep getting an error on mobile odin. "A compatible device was detected, but with an unexpected partition layout. Mobile ODIN cannot operate. This is a common error on CM and MIUI ROMs on some devices." I don't see why I'm getting this error, I'm on MJ1..

yujin86,Nov 14 2013, 04:29 PM

OPTION 2: MANUAL URDLV METHOD:
antt00's manual workaround to inject root with the Root de la Vega method >>V10/#0869<<

URDLV
Download UK DMJ7
Download URDLV files and Odin 3.09

QUOTE
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:
QUOTE
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

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. Select "Unroot" from SuperUser
2. Flash in STOCK FIRMWARE via PC Odin
3. Boot into Stock Recovery and select Factory Reset.

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

Mods, Tips & Tricks

Mods

To flash these mods you need custom recovery such as Philz, TWRP or CWM.

Of course we know that this will trip knox. So for those that wanna keep knox 0x0, flash using Flash Gordon.

It uses a new way to flash zip files without needing a custom recovery. Best of all, it is knox safe meaning it will not trip knox. Tested by myself.

But of course with this new knowledge do not go and do foolish stuff like flashing a custom kernel even though you can. tongue.gif

Confirmed working on stock rom without tripping knox.

CSC Feature
CSC is a bunch of codes found in your /system/csc folder that controls what region gets what feature. With root you can edit either others.xml or feature.xml files to activate/deactivate these features
Refer here some codes from Note 2 forum. CSC Codes

For now these codes are working for me:
Add subsymbol to samsung keyboard
CODE
<CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>true</CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>de;en_US;en_GB</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>


Language code to go with it. (language_country)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Note: I notice you only need to key in the language code on note 3. You can omit the country code except on languages that are available in a few countries like english and chinese.

Turn of camera shutter and focus sound. This will add a menu in your camera settings to turn it off.
CODE
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>


All apps in Pen Window. This one is easy cos there is an app available.

If all SP comes with something like this , wouldnt it make our life easier then to spend time aligning to SP , stick , uneven , remove and align again over and over and risk getting dust in between while doing it . I never install SP so fast until i tried this . 10 secs done and another 10 sec to push out the bubble .

It's from korea directly and friend sent to me so i dunno who's the seller . Sorry

Anyway , your glass SP can be saved .

1 - Removed it .
2 - Clean your phone screen with alcohol patch , those that r used b4 injection
3 - Use a strong celotape and tape it across your glass SP on the inside . Repeat until you cover the whole SP
4- Remove it and do again . Make sure its evenly taped
5 Fix it back . Your dust should almost be gone by now

Hi there HeHeHunter,


I'm not a sifu but I'm going to reply you because I think you already post this kind of question twice today.


If only the problem happened within certain app, for example wechat, most probably it is wechat related and have nothing to do with the phone.


Kindly email wechat developer and tell them the problem so that they can assist you.


Oh yes, there is alternative like Skype, ooVoo, FaceTime, Tango etc

Why don't you sync your contacts to Google and use Google to sync it back to Note 3?

They have a good headstart but they just ruin it themselves with fake marketing (phone tracking website), unfriendly warranty policy towards flashing custom rom and stagnant product innovation (nothing new after Desire HD until the HTC One). I still prefer their Sense against Samsung TW but I swear I won't buy any HTC device after the Desire HD. There is only 2 brands in my blacklist - Acer and HTC. yawn.gif

Together with shipping not cheap. Then I think back I often go Singapore, maybe I already seen it appear at Singapore but order from USA probably also not arrive yet.

Some more price in Singapore much cheaper as it similar price without the need to paid extra shipping cost.

So I decide cancel it. wink.gif

Some more now I much prefer back case only. With Glass SP no worried. wink.gif I dislike plastic SP but like Glass SP. wink.gif

S View is just a flip cover that hardly close if you keep flip over.

Spigen one from art work look awesome. wink.gif

Today I seen some quite nice 3rd party S View but no chip means it is dead S View. What a waste.

Once the price reaches RM1.6k, I will replace all my Note 2s with Note 3s. The gold one looks so appealing. People might say it is inspired by the iPhone 5s, but it resembles nothing like it. In fact, I love this shade of gold more!

Select GSM only under network setting.

4G setup is the same as 3.5G/3G setup for Maxis. Are you in Maxis' 4G area of coverage? If i'm not wrong, all Maxis postpaid plans support 4G.

I don't think so according to previous trends.

When the S4 is out, the Note 2 dropped to about RM1899 from RM2099. And only dropped to RM1699 when Note 3 launched.

Seems like Satu Gadget is offering the S3 at RM1099 and the Note 2 at SGD1488

It does , makes installation easy and beginner friendly . Worst part of installing SP is when u have to fit the SP with a hole over the home button and align it right . With this , everything is done for u perfectly . Only way to screw up is have dust go in between when u r installing

Malaysia, still got 1 example.

Still remember those days where Hotlink's minimum top up is RM60?

I've got a very worn out SIM card, sometimes unreadable by phones but it still supports 3.5G

I bought an old model from siemens6688 aka Mr Lai last year . Pre-2000 models , Nokia 6210 . He sent the phone to me , I cant use it as there's no network after testing it out . I sent it back to him for him to check . He found it working and sent it back to me . I still couldnt get it 2 work . Finally , i met him during his COD with his customers to show him the phones r not working with any of my sims . Went to Maxis and was told , 3G sims dont work in 2G phones and vice versa

Hi there HeHeHunter,
I'm not a sifu but I'm going to reply you because I think you already post this kind of question twice today.
If only the problem happened within certain app, for example wechat, most probably it is wechat related and have nothing to do with the phone.
Kindly email wechat developer and tell them the problem so that they can assist you.
Oh yes, there is alternative like Skype, ooVoo, FaceTime, Tango etc
Cheers

Thank you eszol! I thought my post was not read earlier. I owned a S2 and Note 3 and found that the difference is huge. So, I thought it might just be settings issue. laugh.gif

Welcome please add yourself to the owner list at page 1, post 4.

The Sview magnet is safe as it is not directly in front of the screen. As long as it is a weak magnet and not directly facing the screen there is no issues. Plus sview is by Samsung not like they gonna spoil their own device. tongue.gif

4G depend on network and location. Only limited location have 4g at the moment. Since you can get H+ why you wanna disable 3G? Go to settings > more networks > mobile networks > network mode. I do not see any harm in leaving it on LTE/WCDMA/GSM (4g/3g/2g) as it will use whichever available. But if you want you can choose whichever suites you.

You're a prolific shopper. Would you mind taking a pic of the blue? For rm25 I won't mind getting 1 and drilling a couple of hole for a lanyard.

Wonder if you can buy and ship tongue.gif

tongue.gif When I go over (maybe this Friday) I will snap it. smile.gif but remember they is a hole on right top. tongue.gif

The blue is dark blue and not striking like this yellow.

Not threaten la. I am not that bad, I do make some conversation in his selling thread. He reply he seen it late, the problem get me anger is his last PM.

Anyway, at least he replace it. The conversation I already delete most, he request to remove those PM screenshot, it just too troublesome, I just remove the entire post, at least he promise on his replacement, such small help is ok for me. The only left out part is his part. He can keep it or remove it up to him. I am ok with it.

Actually this time the boxed came with Original Spigen sticker on top left side where previous boxed don't have. The rest is identical and both is authenticated genuine. As I said Spigen authenticated way is useless, I do email them not sure they will change or not. A legit authentication suppose can only authenticate once, more than once should have some message on it, but what Spigen do is unlimited authentication, this is really fail authentication method.

Finally received my OtterBox Defender - Merlot Color.

Thanks a lot kirra0820

Impression:
  • I find it is not that bulky as I though, at least not for Note 3 series, it is quite similar size as Commuter series.
  • The provide front plastic is superb low quality cheap, it is yellowish with not constant surface. Lucky it can easier peel off! Suggest peel off that rubbish plastic if your phone already got SP especially Glass SP.
  • Overall build is far better than Commuter series. Solid.
  • I like it color combination design on it, it look fantastic, the home button cover had no impact on press, it is easier to press.
  • The extra heavy front black clip I just keep aside, I confirm 100% won't use it, it is useful if you do construction work.
Like it! biggrin.gif wink.gif

RM 25 - 2 layer protection, inside is extreme soft rubber. I like it pretty much, just they is a hole on top, obvious it follow design for Japan/Korean market.

I just buy on 30/Nov, let you know once I received.

Until now the tracking still Not Found! Near vomit, already email them, they said due to holiday season now, might be a bit slow. Now is holiday season for them, actually anything from USA also quite slow.

I hope it can reach as fast as possible. I give them maximum 1 month, if still not coming... I will write nice letter to them. I find UAG service a bit slow, respond email also took 1 to 2 days, if Amazon selling and ship over, I will get from Amazon instead.

usually soaking phone in gasoline and throwing into a burning pile of rubbish will help solve most problems with note 3

however, you could try

1. reformat phone
2. reset phone
3. flash custom tom

5. set up as imap

Wanam volume skip song does not and had never worked for me. I do not want to use other heavily modded xposed that will clash with wanam and cause complication. For Samsung rom, wanam is still the most stable.

i really like the casing too, with the leathery looking back (as opposed to plastic)

ps: why do you eat with your hands then touch your phone? do you eat Chilli Oil Fish Szechuan style with your hands then grab your phone and update facebook with a food selfie?

Ya, it is extreme expensive, and if end up no S View functions, I will bang the wall. So is better cancel it and wait for review, or wait see Singapore will bring in or not, buy direct at shop so can test out.

If it comes in a samsung box than probably is original. If it doesn't than probably is imitation n there are tons out there. Another hint is the price - original will cost above rm90 while imitation rm30-50.

Not identical, it is just one layer with side plastic cover mainly decoration.

This case is really slim, the slimmest I ever had.

What exactly are you trying to do? You do know that flashing a custom pack system.img.ext4 that is not signed by Samsung is most probably going to trip knox if you wanna maintain it. Otherwise good luck.

Back after some time of trying out various web browser apps - Dolphin, Chrome, Boat Browser, etc.

As Dolphin was recommended by forumers here earlier, I found that the battery consumption is quite terrible with it - almost similar to Chrome.

So far, from my experience, Boat Browser seems to be the most battery-efficient app of all. hmm.gif

Anyone have a different experience?

Yup so far boat is the best for me. Tried next , chrome , opera ,dolphin and puffin all not really good.
But the 7.0 and 7.1 boat browser with the floating tab keep running on background. I always exit on home button to keep the tab. Before this it still idle nicely without any wakelock but after the 7.0 update it is monstrous on wakelock. Revert back to the 6.0 apk till they solve it.

Eg: listening to music while screen is off will increase audioout2 wakelock. wakelock refers to any time the cpu is not sleeping but the screen is off, so it satisfies that condition. It can also be caused by notification sound, sms sound, lock screen sound, etc.

audioout_1 or 3 instead refers to an app that is causing the wakelock even if no sound is playing.

example: i found out neutron player causes audioout_1, how i determine? i noticed in BBS the audioout_1 is increasing in duration each time i off my screen, i knew it is an app causing because no music was being played, i check my running processes in settings>general>apps>running processes and found out neutron player is running.

here i either try to fix the problem by changing the app's settings or i uninstall it straight, i couldn't fix it with the latter so i uninstall it and problem solved.

generally if audioout_2 is less than 30 mins it is normal.

I have everything except the black pull sticker. for the sticky part on SP, there is a blue sticker, but i realize dun hv the black sticker on the front glass (which our touch part) .

I check nillkin with the serial provided, it stated original. and I also check the package seal. It's seem ok.

so how's ur review for this SP, just now i listen to a phone call, and notice actually the sweat still remain on the glass. (I'm oily face). For finger print, it won't easily left on the glass, but if u put ur finger on the surface for few seconds, then it still will have finger print.

well could be a mistake and forgot put la.

i use it quite okay, like over 3 weeks already and the oleo coating still there. if your head is sweating like crazy it will sure appear la, the fingerprint no so visible so it is acceptable, i only cannot tahan when even small oil will cause rainbow colour effects on the screen, that shows the coating gone d. this is the best oleo can go, if you want better i suggest hybrid sp

Well I bought both the neohybrid and uag cases...as for me, i really like the grip of uag as compared to neohybrid since the latter tend to be more slippery when u tried to hold it...the width of the uag tend to be a little slimmer than neohybrid as uag does not have any outer casing like neo.

Yup so far boat is the best for me. Tried next , chrome , opera ,dolphin and puffin all not really good.
But the 7.0 and 7.1 boat browser with the floating tab keep running on background. I always exit on home button to keep the tab. Before this it still idle nicely without any wakelock but after the 7.0 update it is monstrous on wakelock. Revert back to the 6.0 apk till they solve it.

Didn't realize this. I was using the 6.x version of Boat though. Normally I wouldn't update if there are no major bugs in the current version, or if there are no significant upgrades in the new version.

RM75 does seem a bit too cheap for Slim Armor for Note 3 though. The only way to tell normally is from the packaging, etc.

Actually, even Samsung shops sell fake 3rd party stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did 'accidentally' sold fakes. lol.

There is a dual sim but for china market only . Some shops do carry in but if u r willing to pay 3k+ for it , go ahead .

G2 n Note 3 , both have their own pros and cons . Personally , prefer Note 3 to G2 partly cuz it has bigger screen and s-pen do makes a lot of difference if u r using it

Your phone is NOT complete until you slap on a nice casing that covers the ENTIRE bezel.

Whatever anyone says about naked phones, you WILL drop it one day.

Oh don't worry ... I already have my otterbox defender waiting for me since last week biggrin.gif Paranoid enough ? Hahahahaha

I've read 1st page .. no mention about battery initial charge eh? I know charging first time for 8hours is kinda ancient thing but just want to reconfirm with you guys ... no more the need to charging 8 hours right? Just use it till like 10% then charge till full like normal then stop ?

edit: oh ya i also ask this b4 but no reply .. i ask again .. is note3 screen kinda prone to scratch ? Coz i'm having defender so i might not need a SP but i travel alot too so i'll be opening and closing alot .. scare my screen scratch leh .. but otterbox dun recommend put SP for the defender ..

LiPos are fine. Just use and charge whenever. Don't use it below 10% though since cell degradation happens quickly at that point.

I always leave mine overnight, no problems on my 1 year old Note 2 so far, nor the S3 used by the wife.

Otterbox Defender SP is kinda bad by default . Remove it and get a glass SP instead . It fits , dont worry . All phone screens r prone to scratches even the almighty Vertu with sapphire crystal . It's how to take care of it . Note 3 is more prone to others due to the size of the screen .

U have 2 find a head unit that supports Note 3 . Unlike Apple , there r 2 many models for Android so u it's highly unlikely unless device specific . Audiovox has the adaptor for Note3 but for the price u r paying , getting a usb is much cheaper

I'm a deep black lover so AMOLED > IPS. A crying shame IPS (or ANY LCD screen) will ALWAYS outlive AMOLED panels however, it's just the nature of the beast.

At least at until Sammy improves the lifespan of those pesky blue OLEDs.

Not that anyone uses their gadgets for more than a year nowadays anyway lol - other than misers like me who can't afford the yearly upgrade cycle, that is.

I'm a deep black lover so AMOLED > IPS. A crying shame IPS (or ANY LCD screen) will ALWAYS outlive AMOLED panels however, it's just the nature of the beast.

At least at until Sammy improves the lifespan of those pesky blue OLEDs.

Not that anyone uses their gadgets for more than a year nowadays anyway lol - other than misers like me who can't afford the yearly upgrade cycle, that is.

They really had improved by increasing the amount of blue pixels. Especially from the S2 to S3

My S2's screen has turned so yellowish nowadays until I use it as a night reader instead (no need to install F.lux laugh.gif )

I love battery life and whites more, since I do web browsing the most smile.gif

its so stable, mak bapak i.... i can do anything and it just won't crash

i tried
1. putting it on a surfboard in the middle of the sea during a storm
2. balancing it on the tip of a needle
3. put on top of a car during a drift tournament

mak datuk i, its so stable that it didn't budge and
1. fall into the sea
2. fall on the ground
3. fall off the car

so i guess MJ1 and MJ7 is as stable as each other though i still have the problem of frequently disconnecting mobile data after disconnecting from my home wifi EVERY SINGLE DAY

Yo guys, my N9005 is flying to Taiwan next week, and I am of course looking to root it.

I have been "surfing under water" for the past 2 weeks and already read the first page several times just to get my hypes going before the phone arrives, and I've also been following with the ongoing conversation since v11 pg 100+.

Anyway, after rooting, any reason why we need to root to UK MJ7? Also, the Hotfile is now kantoi-ed so I can't download the said UK MJ7, appreciate it if anyone can share it through Dropbox or something?

Anyone encountered before where their Note 3 keep on rebooting? 2 days back mine rebooted like 3 times. Once when I was reading an email. 2nd time when I just put it in my pocket (I knew it rebooted because my bluetooth headset got disconnected and then I heard the startup chime). Forgot what happened the 3rd time though.

Today it rebooted when I was halfway using Ware.

Getting fed up of my phone. Quite frustrating coming from iOS mad.gif

Hahaha looks like i have to wait hahaha since im not familiar with rooting. Just came back from Samsung centre. Disappointed with their care service, they should be shame of themselves. Just like with my dad's note 2, take out the memory card then blow blow here blow blow there like it's the dust causing the issue. Then factory reset. and end up solve nothing. Hahaha

I bought from LYN member ping365, tomorrow gonna reach. He got sell Nillkin frosty shield too but I think that case not really good because it doesn't protect all edgess. I used nillkin case on my s2 2 years ago and I dropped it, edge got damaged. So I prevent to use half protection case at all cost since that time.

Anyone got full procedure to flash the ROM and will it trigger the KNOX? Thank you very much cry.gif

Finally have the time to analyze why my battery drains like no tomorrow here. Nothing to do with roaming or anything but instead the WiFi in my room drains both my Note II and 3. When I'm in the office using office WiFi, it drains like very normal and minimally but after I switch to hotel WiFi, it can drain 30% while I'm sleeping. doh.gif Check my phone, it wasn't awake but just keeps draining.

Does anybody know why?

There is only the patch mj1 rom in page 1. Alternatively, you should be able to enter recovery and do a factory reset. CAUTION All your apps and data will be wiped though. But Kaspersky should also be wiped away (unless you were rooted previously and grant it permission to be in the system)

edit: also if you are not rooted and not knox tripped you can just take to Samsung service center and ask them to reflash for you. It's foc and if anything tripped blame them. tongue.gif

Have you ever install any apps that could wake the screen or unlock the device without the needs of the ppower button?

Please install betterbatterystat, or at least show us some screen shot of your battery consumption, else we won't know what went wrong?

Btw, did you turn off other wireless radio that are not in use like gps or bt

well no, it's my friend's note 3. i initially thought it was due to some bad apps too, but i did a factory reset for the whole device, and with everything empty it still happens. now i am beginning to suspect it's a hardware issue. after hours of googling i've yet to find anyone else facing the same issue. when left inactive, the phone screen goes dim, locks as usual, but unlocks itself instantly, same thing goes for locking the screen with the power button, unlocks instantly as well. guess i will just need to bring his phone to the samsung centre.

my settings are my usual daily settings with my wifi on. It can achieve 1 day + of usage without charging, no changes are being made with my settings and no new apps are installed. The battery usage just suddenly dropped dramatically.

The battery monitoring thing, it shows 83% is used by screen in the last 10 hours. But it is on screen lock and the screen is off all 10 hours ago till i touched my phone.

to you all suffering battery problem

there is an infinite possibilities to why you're suffering from battery problem, we are not psychics we cannot immediately know why you are having battery drain, even if you give us your usage, it means nothing to us.

But there are apps to immediately determine the cause for you, called betterbatterystats and wakelock detector

but really, what we need is your betterbatterystats screenshot of partial wakelock and kernel wakelock after a day's use. if you want us to help diagnose the problem, you need to show us those screenshots

Yes, it is very useful to help you to determine what is draining your battery. Basically without it you won't know what caused your battery drainage.

LG G Flex only for $598 on contract, $20 cheaper than the Note 3.

Feel like getting the G Flex as it is really a bargain (almost RM3.5k out there), however the low specs is a huge turn off.

You post the same question twice but why don't you be more specific on describing what we were you doing while it auto shut down, are you rooted or not, does the phone feel warm while it happens and so forth.

It auto shutdown or auto reboot?

Usually, it is related to the app that were running at that time. If it happens only once, just close one eye la. If it happens during tweaking or anything, certainly it is related to what were you doing at that time.

For undervolters like me, it is due to undervolting.

I assume it would be a battery problem.

1080p vs 4k video recording
2.28GHz vs 2.3GHz
720p vs 1080p display
<300ppi vs 300+ ppi

and the list goes on

but it looks really nice and unique. Lots of people using Note 3 and it is considered as too affordable at RM1955 vs RM3499

DD is usual with the crazily high price for "rare" phones . Flex is going for RM2.6k to 2.7k from Garage Sales from sellers like Cubix Shoppe , leidragon , etc . And u forgot the 32G internal only for Flex which is a turn off .

Could be hardware or software. If you by any chance not using any case and put the phone inside your pocket or have something like lighter together with your phone inside a same compartment, might be pocket effect. If you familiar with butt dialing, it is also same. Pocket effect is my own term. Happened to me so many time when putting my N1200 together is same pocket lol

Anyways, if it happen again try to make sure either it is unable to wake up or it really shut down itself. And if frequently happen, fast fast go service centre la

Doing a factory reset, and do not install any application, just use as normal for 1-2 days to see the restart happenned or not. If happened also then might be the hardware problem, else I'm pretty sure software issue, cause mine also restarted almost once a day, due to I installing too many apps (esp background apps will cause this).

Just bought 64gb ultra microsd, price RM179.

My suggestion for those who wanna buy with this budget:

1) take ultra 64gb if storage is an issue for you, read/write is 10mb/30mb,

2) take extreme 32gb if you looking for performance, read/write 45mb/45mb.

You only need such high read/write speed if you always transfer file from/to other devices, or capture very hi res video.

For normal use, 64gb is still a better pick, just my opinion.

So, according to this site (www.sgporiginal.com, legit?) both my note 3 slim armor and glas tR is genuine. But glas tR is not so scratch resistable eh? or does it different in quality from the iphone one?

Hahah, kenot lah tongue.gif . I purposely ran a pen knife on it after watching the reviewer do the same thing with rambo knife, hammer it with nail and drilling it. I don't care much about that minor scratch, I just hope the durability is worth what I'm paying it for.

Hi Note 3 Sifus, anyone here moved from iOS can share how to move your iTunes music and playlist to Note 3? I googled and was told to use Google Play Music but that service is unavailable in our country. Thanks in advanced!

That authentication means nothing as spigen site did not set can only aauthenticated once or label how many times it has been authenticate, which means people just need to take a legit one unstoppable re-print. I had email spigen myself and talk about it as mine also scratch in apply, means less than 15 mins, not sure it's already scratch by default or not or it is that easier scratch.

Example people already can unstoppable reprint your code as you expose it, not even need to buy a genuine one to get the code

What are the response from them? I purposely scratch it, it will be quite shameless to complain to them about it isn't it? Does their product covered by warranty or something?

I bought it when it first came out for around RM400+ and it's not under local distributor warranty . Was " gatal " for a 64G then . 179 is consider very reasonable but expect it to drop even more when 128G comes out , maybe .

Hi, bought mine for a black from satu gadget. i have read the first post but still have some question about the rooting. please confirm my statement is correct or wrong.

notes:
i haven't root my note 3 yet, but i have experience on rooting other samsung device before.

1. Root de la vega only enable root on current firmware? It does not install custom recovery(CWM)?

2. flashing of CWM will trip knox even already root using root de la vega?
i wanted to install third party rom like cm, omega, etc. so flashing CWM is a need.

3. knox 0x1 is permanent flag for samsung to know warranty void, just like the flash counter in S3 and note 2. The main different is S3 and note 2 can reset the counter but this knox cannot?

Try factory reset and test it, then back one by one new apps you install previously. See which affected it, read comments on all the apps you install.

If only stock without any 3rd party apps also happen, then possible your unit is defective and suggest see SC.

So far Note 3 is pretty stable to me, never face such issue.
