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

Did you install any cracked apps or some China apps?

Nope

If you did not installed any crack/pirated apps than go and have the motherboard check

I upgraded from iPhone 4S to Note 3. Here are my pros and cons (Purely based on my experience):

Pros:
1) BIG screen! (great for web surfing, viewing pics and vids.)
2) Feels very light even for such a big phone.
3) S Pen!
4) Flexibility of Android (almost limitless freedom to customise even without rooting)
5) NFC
6) Expandable memory

Cons:
1) KNOX. vmad.gif
2) Samsung Bloatware
3) Camera UI all over the place and not very quick (e.g. it takes more steps on the Note 3 to take a panorama pic. and you can't take a vertical panorama pic on the Note 3)
4) Overall UI feel does not feel so well put together. (iOS is still that bit smoother and more cohesive)
5) Bugs I encountered with my phone like random restart and occasional "green screen" (just my bad luck I guess sweat.gif )

Hope this helps

Samsung bloat ware like My Magazine. Need to root device to disable

Come to think of it, con 1 and 2 are not entirely relevant to an idevice user since they can't even jailbreak the current iOS.

The point is Knox is just a warranty flag, it does not stop you from rooting your device if you wanted to.

iOS actively fights jailbreak activity and maintains tight control over its "highly curated user experience".

I am more used to the iOS experience where things just work right out of the box. And if there is a problem, Apple gets bad publicity and (most of the time), have to fix it with a patch.

What bugs me is that everybody seems to know about the KNOX error/warning message but I don't see any news saying that Samsung is going to fix it. Yes I can root my phon and disable KNOX and a whole lot of other things. But there is a risk that it may void my warranty.

Also, it is not wrong to expect the (currently) top of the range Android phone to just work properly out of the box. I know I can fix some of the problems with a bit of tinkering but when you pay RM2k for a new phone and it doesn't work properly because of thr manufacturer, you shouldn't need to be the one trying to fix it.

hlteeur . . . That's for international version which is ours if i remember correctly .
I agree that ever phone / OS has their own pros and cons but then , i hope u dont mind me giving my opinion on your cons

1 - Knox is troublesome but then again , even IOS got this new feature where a factory reset cant even activate your phone unless u remember your email + password right ? Every company seems to be trying out something new to protect end user more and more yet since it's new , its a big " leceh " but Apple , who has been having constraints on their users for years , nobody seem to mind and even adapted to it .

2 - Bloatwares to some are useful to others . Chaton for example , how many of us uses it ? I have friends who do use it and having all their notification under 1 app is easier then multiple apps they said . Personally , i feel its another bloatware 2

3 - I agree on this . Camera on SGS4 was slow to focus or some cases , cant even focus . On Note 3 , even when it's better and much improved , it still lacks behind other makers eg LG , Sony . Guess Samsung never really did a very good camera , just usable for average joes

4 - IOS feel smoother as there's no widget unlike android UI . Widgets do make a big difference to the smoothness . Instead of using TW , which has improved a lot , try out 3rd party launcher eg Nova , Apex . Who knows , u might like it more

5 - I never encounter such problems before on Note 3 unless my hand get itchy and flash in a custom kernel . On stock kernel , many of us here can confirm with u there's no random reboot issue or green screen . Do check your apps or the best is , do a factory reset , use it for a day or two without any apps to see if there's any of the problems you mentioned .

1) Sry, was referring to KNOX error message.

2) i am fine if i can disable them but bloatware like MyMagazine cannot be disable just like that. Also accidental swipe up from home screen will launch it. Need to root to disable. Very annoying.

4) will try them out when I am free. Thx for your suggestion

5) sweat.gif I have only installed apps from play store and not even rooted my phone. Some Sifus here mentioned that might hardware issue (just my terrible luck maybe). So need to send in to check.
