» 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.

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.

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....

This post will contain general tips and issues for the Note 3. They are listed in Alphabetical order where it makes sense.

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

V7/#1506

In regards to the purple smeared stain on my screen, the stain was spreading wider within a day. I brought it to Samsung Service Centre in One Utama and upon checking the technician said that the LED is cracked inside. I didn't see any visible crack on the screen and I don't think it is caused by any fall. Apparently, if I leave it, the stain will spread and eventually the screen will go dead. According to the them, I must have pressed the screen hard till the LED cracked inside  rclxub.gif  Seriously!!!!

Since the screen is not under warranty, I have to fork out my own money RM680 to pay for the damage... I tried to argue it doesn't make sense for a new device to be so flimsy and as a user of Note 1, Note 2, Tab 7.7 and Note 10.1, I know the quality is not that bad. But, they can't do anything.

I had no choice but to agree to change the screen using my own money. The device can be collected after 3 hours. So, I will be going back to collect my device later.

Anyway, advice to all who prefer to use the phone naked, please spend a bit of money to buy a case such as otterbox. As for me, I am going to sew a pouch with thick sponge to protect my phone...  doh.gif

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

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.

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 :peace:

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" :lol:

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.

**RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD PART 1**

BEFORE YOU FLASH .... you will need the correct USB drivers for the Note 3.
=> XDA - Latest Samsung USB drivers and ADB

ROOTING AND KNOX
Knox is a new security measure implemented by Samsung into their phones. It is only bad news to those of us that like to root our phones. Rooting a phone will trip knox counter from 0x0 to 0x1. You can check the knox counter in download mode.

The bad news is unlike the previous flash counter, there is no way to reset this, thus this indication of warranty void will always be with your phone.

The good thing is that earlier version of bootloader have a back door to get root without tripping knox. Newer bootloader after that had closed this backdoor. For the first step into rooting, ALWAYS DISABLE REACTIVATION LOCK under settings > security.

To find out if you have the safe bootloader, download Android Terminal Emulator from play store. Run that app.
Type
CODE
getprop ro.bootloader

If the result you get is N9005XXUBMJ1 or lower it is the safe bootloader.
If the result you get is N9005XXUDMJ7 or higher it is the unsafe bootloader and you got no way to root without tripping knox.

If you have the unsafe bootloader just proceed to root using CF Auto Root. But be warn your knox will be tripped and you may risk your warranty.

If you have the safe bootloader, please read on. Subsequent post is on how to safely root, update and flash custom rom.

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)

FLASHING CUSTOM ROM WITH MOP WITHOUT TRIPPING KNOX

PREREQUISITE
1. You must first be rooted
2. The custom rom must not contain a custom kernel or recovery or at least have the option to allow you to stick to stock kernel and recovery. If you are unsure ask in that rom thread and don't whine later


QUOTE
1. Download the custom rom zip file.
2. Copy the zip file to the root of your phone's internal SD
3. Disable reactivation lock under settings > security
4. Run Mobile Odin Pro. Allow SU access if prompted.
5. Mobile odin pro will ask you to update some stuff if it is run for the first time. Just update it and do not ask in the forum if it is safe.
6. There will also be a standard warning that it will trip knox. Knox will not be trip and just press OK. Do not ask in the forum if it is safe.
7. Click OTA / Update.zip
8. Select your zip file
9. Checking these are fine as a precaution but not necessary as most if not all custom rom are pre-rooted:
    i.   Everroot
    ii.  Inject SuperSU
    iii. Inject Mobile Odin
10. Wipe data and cache is only tick if YOU WANT TO FACTORY RESET.
11. Wipe Dalvik Cache is NOT REQUIRED
12. Click Flash Firmware
13. DONE

WARNING FLASHING CUSTOM ROM WILL ONLY TRIP KNOX IF THERE IS A CUSTOM KERNEL OR RECOVERY PACKAGED WITH IT. ENSURE THERE IS NONE. IF PROMPTED IN AROMA, ALWAYS CHOOSE STOCK KERNEL AND RECOVERY.

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

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.

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.  :P  (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!  :thumbs:

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.

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.



this 1 how we do it ?

Dual SIM Note 2 are still considered as affordable as compared to Note 3


I saw someone selling it at SGD600 for a used one, HK set with Google Play Store. While a normal N7105 goes for about $400

You will get local Malaysia firmware regardless of where you are.

But beware, if you wanted to root your device, do not perform firmware update through ota or kies. But if you don't need root, then just update it anyway.

Which firmware are you in now? If you are still in MJ1 then you can use kingo to root your device without tripping knox. But there is some discussion that kingo will cause your phone to sendsome personal ddetails. Not sure if it has fixed.

But if you are in any firmware later than MJ1 then please do not do so as it will trip your knox. If you doesn't care about knox, then just root using CF Auto Root. Much more easier.

Yes, any firmware later than MJ1 will trip the knox counter. But there are some users in XDA claimed that they successful root their device with MJ3.

There is a framework file that might not make it through flash gordon but you can try. Wait are you using the original corsaro zip file or my zip file.

1) Extract the zip and look in the system folder for the apk.

2) Put the files in your internal sd at this directory
/sdcard/system/framework for framework-res.apk
/sdcard/system/app for all the other apk files

3) Connect phone to PC and enter adb

4) Type
CODE
adb shell

CODE
su
allow superuser access on phone

CODE
stop

CODE
mount -o rw,remount /system

CODE
cp -r /sdcard/system/app/* /system/app

CODE
cp -r /sdcard/system/framework/* /system/framework

CODE
restart

screen protector is not gorilla glass.
the normal screen protector is just a sticky plastic therefore it is much easier to get scratches compared to the glass.
If you really need sp, then I would suggest you get the glass type but of cos much more expensive.
I don't have any scratches on my screen but then I'm using SView at the moment.

Can your phone still boot? If yes then just copy those files to sdcard. Make those folders and follow the step. Not necessary to reflash the whole rom as you gonna replace the files anyway.

Most apps can. Systemui after replacing will crash and reboot your phone but nothing bad will happen, just fix the permission after the reboot. Framework-res is the main issue, I dunno what will happen. You can try and if anything bad happen just reflash the rom without wipe.

Can you try the adb again. After reboot check with root explorer to /system/app and see the date of example your systemui.apk is it tally with the date and time you did the adb replacement. This will tell if the apk been replaced.

Alex Community Service message

With this module you'll be able to stop the ad's provided by the google API (com.google.ads.AdView)
The app does not provide any UI except for the toast messages showing that a ad is being blocked

Download linksssss
http://dl-count.xposed.info/modules/com.xad_v1_ba1cd6.apk

Possible simialr to those Adaway and Adfree but this one i am not sure if frequent updates to the list of host files to block DNS would be required

i tested on wanam exposed, works

xnote is deodex. your rom now is odex. if you copy you need to delete the odex files. up to you to try but beware to get fc until you are able to delete the odex. one good thing is framework-res.apk does not have an odex file.

I suggest, normal apk, replace manually and delete corresponding odex. Do it faster for systemui.apk before it reboots. tongue.gif Permission can be changed later (lowest priority).

Framework-res.apk, use the adb method to replace.

Fingers cross at all times.

Just for sharing: Battery drain on Note 3

I've 2 units note3, both from digi set. 1 working fine, 2nd unit, showing on battery drain since day 1, after put on the OEM S-View cover.

Both with MJ7, the issue showing Android OS >90% and phone continue to Awake all the time. Tried factory reset, hard reset, recovery mode & restrore, FAILED.

Final resolution: Remove the OEM S-View cover, battery life back to normal, 2-3 days on standby. Problem SOLVED.

Causes: OEM S-View cover.
Question: Both unit using same S-View cover. 1 unit is totally fine, 1 unit problem. Will try the other S-View cover on the first unit, hope is not the chip problem.

out of curiosity, tested the xcharge,it works great with xperia x10 and now its running fine with note 3
so install it, select no its wrong, select non xperia..
so far, reboot phone, hot reboot, recovery, download mode and power off are working fine.
im still using stock recovery so i duno will it work with custom recovery but i used it with note 2 as well. no problem

only drawback is, if u use this application to boot in download mode, u need to take battery out.. long pressing the power key will reboot back to download mode

im sure this app will be a great help for flashaholic..

Ohh.. Or got any good keyboard that support both intelligent Chinese input also? The stock Chinese input kinda sucks (coming from iOS, which will predict your pinyin typo)..

Or.. Any quick way to switch between different keyboard (e.g. Samsung stock + Google Pinyin) *other than swiping down notification?


Thanks!

a better comparison/experiment would be when both phone is using same case, under same initial temperature, with same amount of apps installed and running and also with same firmware


do let us know with your finding under this circumstances and variable and please give an exact figure how is the temperature reading by using an app called system tuner to find the cpu temperature icon_rolleyes.gif

MIUI ROM V5 went back to CM . There's no CM for Note 3 so can forget about MIUI unless MIUI goes back TW based

I usually make a folder in this structure in my internal sd
sdcard - media - audio - ringtones / notifications / alarm

Place whatever ringtones i want into these folder and they will be detected in your sound settings. If not detected, reboot phone.

I mean when you increase the ringtone volume, the notification volume is not increased. It will remain at the same level. Is there any way when you increase the ringtone volume, the notification volume increases at the same time too? So that the ringtone and notification volume level are the same

O... then no choice... be more carefull next time.

In such case, I will sure wear case now as it will cover those side scratch. That screen if not too deep scratch, a screen protector can cover it.

Hmm, looking at Wakelock Detector (or BBS) wakelock stats, should I be more concerned with the accumulated waking duration as opposed to the # time they trigger the wakelock?

This kind of waking graph and battery change seems normal? I was sleeping from about 1am - 9am, and I think the battery drop from 73% - around 60, which means about 10% in 8 hours. I am just trying to get a hold of how long my phone battery can achieve with normal activity and syncing, and making sure the battery drain is NORMAL and not caused by any random apps.

Go to this path :

Search for this file:

Take copy from this file to SdCard.

Delete it from the the original folder..

I have long long time using Lean Kernel, on 1.7.2 now. Very good and solid battery life. I have tried to UV -75 but at times it will hang and reboot. UV -65 is the most stable for me. No lag or hang.

The stuff that he deleted is quite extreme, I agree, is like almost removing TW at all.

How do we check how much battery it drained (other than the wakelock duration and trigger)?

Difference between kernal and partial wakelocks? Kernal = system, partial = apps?

I try to press the 'check for update' in my phone,but it does not have any respond.
so i tried to download and use skies,then it shown this error.

normally,even if there it no update, but once press the ' check for update' it shall have a window box showng " connecting to server" then later pop up and said your firmware is up to date and etc,right?

Honestly I only install Kies for the sake of Samsung driver for Odin or USB tethering function.

For firmware update, it is best to do FOTA or download the full firmware and flash via PC Odin or MOP

just to share, after recent update.. battery drain on my note 3. It shows Android OS taken up 70%. Googled and some people said SD card. So I tried reformat the card. Same result even after clear cache.

Downloaded wake lock detector. Saw google+ drain battery. remove google + update. same result. Then I clear cache.

After clear cache now back to normal. Over night drain only 4%. Nice.

Glass SP definitely worth it, especially it's quite cheap now. I always teared away plastic SP after a month or two, but Glass SP is perfect in term of clarity and touch feel.

Glass SP can "auto snap" when you put it on phone. If scare mess up like my SP, go nearby shop and ask them install for few ringgit.

If you are used to big phone, yeah go ahead.

Coming from an iPhone4, I already dropped my Note 3 twice in less than a week (one is due to my own carelessness in an emergency situation, and the other time my GF dropped it due to her carelessness and my carelessness for letting her handle it doh.gif ). Thank god the seller gave me a free USAMS case with cover that prevented any cosmetic damage (so far no apparent internal damage noticed). Otherwise, I was planning to use it naked-ly and slowly choose a nice casing...

I didn't run any benchmark but so far uv -65 is very solid for me. On idle with 4G for 2 hours didn't even drop a single percent on battery.

uv -75 is quite unstable. Device reboot when I try to wake the phone.

Oh, I try -55 and it is stable during benchmark without overclocking. Did you overclocking it? Now I try overclocking one step to 2496Mhz see how.

Edit: What governor & I/O you use? Is noop and ondemandX the best? I overclocking to 2496Mhz but don't see any increase in performance, still same 35K++, I do get 38K++ for CivZ kernel.

Edit2: Remove the overclocking since I don't see different, now try -60 see how.

Edit3: Now at -60 without overclocking and seems ok, bechmark success. Will keep this and see how. I swithc to interactiveX, not sure is better or not, but do score higher 36K now. tongue.gif

WiLyi, you got any better suggestion? wink.gif

Final tryout on 3.4.74 leanKernel 1.7.2

S far stable at -60 for me with overclocking to 2496Mhz, never try pushing up more. icon_rolleyes.gif 37K in Antutu.

I can't goto -65 as it reboot my phone during benchmark even without overclocking, I use Antutu benchmark as guide as I believe that is the most intensive.

I'm using row and ondemandx. My frequency is min at 300 and max at 2.2ghz. I have never do any benchmarking before. For me lean kernel is more battery friendly than civz engine and it is minimalistic. Maybe one day I will try the latest civz kernel

I'm using row and ondemandx. My frequency is min at 300 and max at 2.2ghz.  I have never do any benchmarking before. For me lean kernel is more battery friendly than civz engine and it is minimalistic.  Maybe one day I will try the latest civz kernel

I am back to CivZ 2.4 as I notice it is much smoother. wink.gif

The UV also under -60, more than that will auto restart my phone when benchmark. I think that is maximum UV I can go for my Note 3.

Now using a mix of Naxos and corsaro theme. Abit disappointed with Naxos cos the amount of theme put into the premium version is so little. Corsaro themed so many things and yet kept it free. Hope momow will theme more stuff.

Christmas comes early this year for Android device users that love Disney games, or at least have kids that do, as the company has significantly lowered the prices of 12 games available in the Google Play Store.

All games cost $0.49 in the U.S. store (although international users will also get lower prices), which is below the $0.99 minimum price for paid apps. How is that possible? Well, it appears that Google and Disney may have inked some sort of deal for Christmas as these prices are available “exclusively” on Google Play.

All apps have been updated to reflect the price change, which is the only thing that’s new for most of them (although some of them have also received more content via the December 22 update) – that’s also where we find out about this exclusive Christmas promotion:

What’s New
Celebrate the holidays, and download this app for 75% off exclusively on Google Play™! Don’t forget to check out other great Disney Holiday Magic deals!

At $0.49, these Disney games are almost free, with one of them getting a discount that’s bigger than 75% off:

Disney Christmas Tree (original price: $1.99)
JellyCar 3 (original price: $1.99)
Monsters University (original price: $1.99)
Monsters, Inc. Run (original price: $1.99)
Temple Run: Oz (original price: $1.99)
Toy Story: Smash It! (original price: $1.99)
Temple Run: Merida (original price: $1.99)
Where’s My Mickey? (original price: $1.99)
Where’s My Mickey? XL (original price: $1.99)
Where’s My Perry? (original price: $2.99)
Where’s My Water? (original price: $1.99)
Wreck-it Ralph (original price: $1.99)

any note 3 user heavily using the device for ebook reading (including pdf format), how's the experience like? is the screen still too small for long hour reading?

I'm in the dilemma if I should get a note 3 plus a tablet, but i'm kind of person who do not like to bring too many thing along, so i'm wondering if note 3 screen is suffice for daily reading.

any advise is appreciated. thanks

Hello every one. I'm in deep trouble and I need help.

I tried the 'watch on' feature of this phone on my LG television.
After choosing country and the TV model, it ask me to send signal and see wether the tv turn on or not.

I tested signal 1&2 but nothing happen. At signal 3 the TV turned on, and I can use the remote perfectly.

But after that, I realize the tv can't be turned on using the power botton of the original LG tv remote.

Both the phone watch on app and the original LG tv remote can work normally for other button, even the power button to turn the tv into standby mode.

But after turning into standby mode, pressing both power button on phone and remote no longer able to wake the tv. Need to walk to the TV and press the physical power button of the TV to turn it on.

How can I restore power on capability to my original LG tv remote?

lord_raymond look up your tv manual on how to reset your remote. it will need to be sync back to the TV

antt00 thanks. was wondering if there would be big difference between the two ROMs

confuzan ya but lots of bad reviews about the case from UAG. the cutting is not complete for the phone and there's problems in shipping.

Rainshower well, i find reading PDFs more comfortable on a tablet simply for the wider screen which you can read at normal font size and less need to manipulate the fingers to flip and zoom compared to note3. note3 good for short documents but book size? unless there's no tablet smile.gif

Is very hard to say which kernel work best for you until you try each kernel yourself. For me I still prefer lean kernel over civz as it is more minimalist. If you like more features and would like to test other governor there are others like abyss, wonder child, civz

For uv you can use trickster or system Turner. For me I UV -65 for all frequency. I suggest you to uv -50 then slowly go lower.

Some kernel might work best for me but not for you or vice versa. Just take our feedback as a reference but not as a fact

lowering the minimum freq and uv only gives instability with minimal effect on battery saving. If you want greater battery saving just lower the maximum freq to something you can accept.

I'm using row as my I/O and OndemandX governor. So far battery is very good for me, better than civz 1.9. I haven't try out the latest release of civz though.

Sometimes underclock too much is not a good thing as the phone might be slow in catching up your process. This is what i encountered.

just to share, after recent update.. battery drain on my note 3. It shows Android OS taken up 70%. Googled and some people said SD card. So I tried reformat the card. Same result even after clear cache.

Downloaded wake lock detector. Saw google+ drain battery. remove google + update. same result. Then I clear cache.

After clear cache now back to normal. Over night drain only 4%. Nice.

I just downloaded it and haven't flash yet. Because I see many kernel have patch and fix from yank, so thought of flashing his kernel directly and have a test.

Yes, custom n3 is very smooth. I only flashed it few hours ago after finish testing on lean kernel. So far so good, and I hold on my comment on the battery life first, still can't conclude it yet. Will test out his v2

Those on the earlier batches that come with MJ1 rom can actually root and flash custom rom without tripping knox. Just no custom kernel. tongue.gif

depends what your purpose of switching is. i've used every iPhone since the 3G and I am quite deep in the Apple ecosystem (macs, etc). However I made the plunge a month ago and havent looked back since. My purpose for switching: I read a lot and the iPad was too big and inconvenient for me to carry. I think the Note is the perfect size. Also, good for watching movies on the go and the battery life of this phone is pretty spectacular. I have push emails on and I still manage a day. My iPhone 5 would need to be charged 2.5X in a day. As for the size, trust me you will get used to it. In hindsight, I dont even know how I lived with the small screen on the iPhone. Are there downsides? Yes. The apps on Google Play arent as good as what you get on the App Store and for some stupid reason the MJ7 update made my phone a little laggy at times. Granted, the whole UI isnt as refined as iOS (personal taste) but you will get used to it. All in all, I think its a great buy. Waiting for the KitKat update.

Thanks buddy very sincere and fair opinion rclxms.gif the battery is spot on. i have similar issue with that. I have combo of iphone 5 and ipad mini. but I realized that, i use my phone more often than the iPad. therefore the screen size of this note is a plus point thumbup.gif

perhaps need to initiate the move

If you are rooted you can try xposed to change battery. I am using xnote custom rom which allowed battery to be changed through its setting.

hi guys merry xmas! im about to root my note 3 via =

"XXUDML2 URDLV
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)"

i have downloaded XXUDML2 URDLV and extract it but there is only one file, which is the AP file and couldn't find the CSC file. do i have to find it..

hmm.gif or it means its inside the AP file and just load the 'AP file only' to RDLV and no need to load csc file meh?

Yes you can. Flash the xnote rom using MOP. Be sure NOT TO FLASH custom recovery or kernel when going through aroma.

Just want to confirm, so once you pressed "flash firmware" in MOP, the phone will reboot and present us with AROMA right? Damn alex so lazy when on holiday now I'll rely on Master Splinter antt00

And based on OP said and to my interpretation, now we can forget about flash gordon and just flash any zip with MOP? But sadly MOP cannot check either the zip is flashable or not

You're buying for the sake of buying ? I use the S-Pen a lot as I like to write my thoughts down.
And I support them by taking pictures to back up my notes. I believed other users have many use of S-Pen.

I still can't figure out how to trace out an image in a picture, cut it and paste it to another picture though.

i use it to take notes during lectures using s-note
use it to jolt down readings from my research experiments
use s-pen + screenshot of a page to explain stuffs to someone via msg apps like whatsapp
use it to draw certain diagrams to explain stuffs

it really depends on what you doing right now, if you're an architect or engineer this would help a lot, if businessman can use for taking down memos etc.

in any case, you can use the s-note, action memo, or papyrus, first page got one link that tells you all the recommended apps that uses s-pen.

don't bring any notebook or pen with you for 1 week and only rely on your n3 then you will learn to use it properly

trace image = hold s-pen button and trace, release button, edit, then simply choose an app at the bar below, example flipboard, then it will say "Copied to clipboard"

go to gallery, choose a pic, press the edit button, menu button, choose clipboard, then choose the image you traced, position it/resize it, save.

I had this issue with my note 1 and my fren having the same issue on note 3 and S3. U can try enable flight mode then disable again instead of restart. I am not sure is it Samsung or service provider but so far it didnt happen on my note 3 with Celcom while previously was on Maxis while 2 of my fren also from Maxis if not wrong.

thx for the info.

Need for factory reset first if come from stock firmware or just flash with this xnote right away?.

if want to come stock again just flash original rom using MOP again?.
*
You can try not factory reset first. If you face problem or fc then only factoryreset. I dId not wipe anything and had not faced a single issue or fc so far.

Yes to go back to stock just reflash a stock rom.

Bought this S-View Case in Guangzhou, China last week...only 40 yuan = RM20

Me too bought my S View Cover at pasar malam Ipoh... I have no idea whether it is original or not...
I couldn't even distinguish the fake part of the cover itself, it has the real nylon stitching, the 2 contact pins at the back panel and the window works.

BUT IT IS ONLY RM50.

However, 3 days after I bought the cover, the quick window becomes 'moody'.. sometimes it do work but most of the time it don't work. I tried peel off the contact pin from the back cover (suspecting the mis-alignment of the chip) and stick it back after adjusting the position with the contact area at the back of the phone. Problem still persists..

No idea how. But I noticed another strange thing. I suspect the cover window using some sort of electric resistant for it to work. Because if it is just a piece of plastic, whenever the cover could not function, the phone couldnt register my touch through the window. There must be something special inside the cover, but until now I just could find the position of magnet in the cover.

Would be good if someone could explain how the cover works so I can DIY mine... brows.gif

Each device is different. What is good for one device can be too much for another. Thats why its a rule to never use another ones kernel setting and best to test your own.

A stable phone is always the best. Thats why in all my years of playing with custom kernel since HD2 days, I have never UV nor lower the lowest cpu freq below the stock value. For me these settings are not worth it. It brings instability and whatever benefits we get from extra minutes of battery time is not useful at all cos most of us would have charged the phone by then.

Can't deny on this, what work best for me might not be the same for others. Just like everyone said the smoothness of the new custom n3 is very smooth, but for me the smoothness for all custom kernel is more or less the same. But what that kernel creates lots of wakelock for me which impact on my battery life.

Currently I'm using yank's kernel which is also smooth and battery friendly. Wakelock is very less.

That's a good sign that development is on going. So far I find yank kernel and lean kernel is the best. They are simple, minimal, stable and more stock like.

First and formost, confirm if your devices is a N9002.

The rest of the accessory is not important. Probably they only got the phone but sourced the box and those documentations from another place

My China friend said Hong Kong version is the best, so I thought I would get it cheap here and the best also.

The link above shows Memory is 32gb/64gb, but mine only 16gb?

I downloaded Antutu and ran the test,

CPU Model: Samsung Exynos 5420
Memory: 12027.9mb
Ram: 2720mb
Internal SD: 12007.9mb (But there is no SD card how come)
Frequency 250-1900mhz (is good or bad)?
Vender: ARM
Rear Camera: 12.8 mp
Front Cam: 2.1 mp
Video: 1080p
Temperatur sensor: not supported, the rest supported.

Can anyone kind enough to do me a screenshot?

They didnt give me a receipt. I was told that HK version can be sent for repair at any shop in HK.
Is it true?

Your China friend said its best because its BEST for them, not you.
They think its best because they haven't used better ones.

If you're able to get 35k-ish then its confirm the real deal because imitation ones uses MTK chips which are pretty weak

I didnt know the Note 3 price in Malaysia. I was ready to buy Xiao Mi 3, but now only got TD-SCDMA, that is the 2g network version/ might not be supported in Malaysia I heard. And bcoz if you cant get Xiao Mi on official website which you need to depend on your luck to get it, we will need to pay premium price to buy in the store. So my supplier friends suggested me to get Note 3 instead and dont pay premium + real quality stuff. I listened to them and bought this Note 3 at the same store they bought their Note 3.

The mobile phone shop boss is their friend. The boss told me that since the rice of "water stock (ori but cheaper coz dont pay tax)" not much difference with "HK version (aka the best version and is Ori with warranty)", so suggested me to take it and I did. Now I paid RM1975 for Exynos double quad core (eight core) and 16GB, compared to better Snapdragon 800 with 32GB which I can get in Malaysia around the same price (I only know it after I bought the Note 3). N0ow urgently want to find out whether Note 3 with Exynos processor on Note 3 is imitation and which variant is the best I want to request the shop owner to change it for me. doh.gif

Sorry if I didnt get your bold word wrongly, I should call you sis not bro right? lol

So now if I can change to N9005 (water stock, ori just no tax paid) at around the same price should I go for it?

Malaysia model only is N9005, this is common international model which run Snapdragon 800.

Your model is N900 means it is Exynos 5420 edition, certain badge people think Exynos 5420 is better as it is Samsung own chipset. I don't feel that this time due to limitation of Exynos edition.

Pros of Snapdragon 800 over Exynos 5420:
  • Support recording and playback of 4k Video.
  • Support LTE data speed.
  • In general, it is slightly faster than Exynos 5420.
  • More developer support at XDA because Snapdragon 800 is main targeted chipset selling worldwide.

In MOP, select OTA / ZIP then choose the custom rom u downloaded..
Make sure the custom rom DOES NOT HAVR CUSTOM KERNEL OR RECOVERY.
for example, x-note got aroma installer so you must NOT choose the included recovery and when at stock page, SELECT STOCK kernel

Yea I just came across the pros and cons in other website.
I guess mine is genuine, but the thing is whether or not I should exchange it with N9005 water stock as their price is around the same (Ori with warranty is expensive here)

Most of the setting I leave it by default as what is being chosen. Many things there which I'm not familiar.

I only change the i/o, disable tap 2 wake and some other things

Anyone is using Vulpix mod? In the original thread, this mod is receiving a very good feedback. Later reach home will try this mod and see how big the performance change it brings.

Hmm.. I not mean speed limit, it's a speed tweak, using buffersize..
But somehow, it's limit my download speed to less than 1mbps..

During note 2 days, I got try these speed tweak.. but never succeed in my trys. Try google around.. some ppl, mostly not msian said it helps them
