A bunch of reviewers have talked about the "new S Pen" and have mentioned it in terms of h/w and capabilities. Here's one.

Samsung's just officially announced the Galaxy Note 3 at its big IFA event, and its not so surprisingly spent a lot of time talking about the phone's brand new S Pen. In addition to bringing with it slightly new design, the pen also enables a number of new features on the phone. The biggest of those is the new Air Command functionality, which is a small pop-up window that's brought up automatically by the S Pen and offers quick access to features like Action Memo (which can link memos to actions), a scrapbook, the S Finder search option, and the updated S Note, which can sync content with your PC and tablet through Evernote. Fans of the Note's flip covers will also be glad to know that they can now also use the S Pen with the cover closed. Check out our full Galaxy Note 3 preview for a closer look at the S Pen's new features and, of course, the phone itself.​

http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/04/samsung-details-new-s-pen-with-air-command-feature/

There was one review that talked about older S Pens being compatible with the N3/10.1 2014 but not being able to utilize all the newer features but I can't find it again (yet). So I'm assuming either the digitizer's changed or the h/w capabilities of the S Pen have changed. There's also a couple of sessions at Samsung's DevCon devoted to the "new S Pen" so that wouldn't be a discussion of existing Samsung developed apps as much as it would be to discuss the SDK and what new features were available to devs writing s/w to be used with S Pen.

As for putting it back in the device it's now round so there is no wrong way. Thankfully. ;)

EDIT: The pen's square...
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
The reason note 2 spen wasn't round was to prevent it from rolling off surfaces. But people just like to *****
[Galaxy Note II General] hockeyfan:
NICE! Yeah, I must have missed that completely. That is a great improvement. I've always hated making sure the S Pen was in the right orientation on my GN2 before putting it back.
[Galaxy Note II General] BarryH_GEG:
Great point. But if I had to choose between the pen rolling around and fumbling trying to reinsert the pen when I was in a hurry I'd choose the former. Not everyone may feel that way though.
[Galaxy Note II General] Dan Law 001:
It's good to see that Samsung still ship their phones with removable battery. I honestly don't care about how slim, light or elegant those devices with non removable battery such as the HTC One and Sony Xperia Z are, I just want a device that makes me feel comfortable to do those ROM flashing and stuff without afraid of not being able to do a hard reset. Removable battery and expandable battery are just a good qualities of Android phone and they should remain to be. Hope that tablets will also have removable battery in the near future. Sealing battery just NOT WORK. :(

The N3 supports LTE Cat 4 which is another name for LTE Advanced. In the U.S. all the major carriers have said they'll have some LTE-A rolled out in 2013. As has EE in the UK and there's a S-800 SGS4 (i9506) that's LTE-A capable that's had its EE firmware leaked. Depending on the market you're in and your carrier's commitment to LTE it's something to consider when shopping for a new phone that you plan on keeping for a while.

Here's an explanation of LTE-A...

Here's a comparison of the N3 to earlier Notes and the SGS4...

[MENTION=296959]starche_old[/MENTION] ^^ It sounds as if you are offended in some way by GN3. Rest easy, nobody is going to force you to buy anything you don't like.
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
Don't think so

It's just normal discussion with differents points-of-view ...

Very healthy and you don't have to agree or disagree with all or none of them ...

[Galaxy Note II General] MohJee:
It seems he's trying really hard to justify to himself that N3 is bad. All his point are poorly thought out.
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
Well...locked bootloader for instance is a real bummer...

That's one of the reasons that make me wait and see....

And it's not about bad or good..is about how worthy an upgrade really is..

Did you see the price tag on this beast?

,
[Galaxy Note II General] starche_old:
For sure I'm offended :rolleyes: since sgs1 time Samsung used to be couple of steps ahead competition, delivering the very best to the customer. But now... Tell me, man, what N3 got that noone else has? CPU? Whole bunch other phones got sg800. 1080p screen? 3xxx mA*h battery? And that's bright side.

On the dark side - flexible screen which was shown almost two years ago, optical stabilization, bigger battery, cheap plastic, poor construction (check S4 drop tests on YouTube), locked bootloader, etc.

But my the biggest disappointment is absence of real innovation. And I'm not the only one who thinks this way, check S4 sales numbers. It's that bad, that's why Samsung have to talk to their investors in November. That's the way one "fruit" company goes and we all know that - just bump CPU a bit and "all new" phone is here. Add tons of marketing BS and you good to go. That's really pity that the best in my mind smartphone vendor decided to present nothing. Smartphone world is very competitive and in order to stay there you have to run and if you want to move ahead, you have to run very fast. Like last year when Samsung presented N2 - there were nothing around which was even close, but this year pretty much all major vendors did there homework and came up with good devices and managed to catch up. But Samsung decided just to calm down and relax and now they are not ahead, but just among others. That's big strategical mistake which might have unrecoverable impact on Samsung. And even more - Samsung thinks about launching there own OS, but to do so they should be able to present smth unique and looks that's not the case...

All in all - I'm really disappointed and sad for Samsung.

P.S. sorry guys for may a bit too much pathetic post, but it is what it is...

As an original Note owner, i'm tired of samsung gimmicks and bloat. the JB update really bogged my phone down and seeing now much is on the GN3.... that said, I'm leaning towards another device.

I'm shocked that HTC hasn't announced any events lately... they are the prime competition and everyone wants to know what they bring to the table. I really wish they would say something so that folks can make informed decisions.

Again, that said, the GN3 is the front runner right now. That's the bar.

Oops; you're right. It appears square or oblong. See how smart Samsung is? They solved both the "rolling away" and "only inserts in a single direction" problem at the same time. ;)

Hah:D That's true. Atleast they innovate...
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
I'm happy with my note 2 and would buy the note 3 if I didn't waste all my money on blowup dolls. The new barbie addition is comming out soon. :sly:
[Galaxy Note II General] starche_old:
From GSMArena...

The bottom side of the phablet is quite busy - the Galaxy Note 3 is the first mobile device to feature USB 3.0 using the micro version of the port. The connection consists of two parts - one that is backwards compatible with microUSB 2.0 and one that adds additional pins for faster data transfers.​

[/QUOTE]

like right now on 0.5A the phone is not really charging (1-2% an hour is nothing), so the current which actually charge is: 0.9A - 0.5A = 0.4A

3.2A*h / 0.4A = 8 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. Does it make any sense to charge it this way? Meh...

USB 3.0 transfer speed. SDXC i've got reads "up to 30Mb/s" (and we all know what "up to..." means - in reality it's way worse than that). USB 2.0 provides 480Mbps = 60MB/s. in other words, what's the point of having USB 3.0 if USB 2.0 provides AT LEAST twice higher rates than the best existing SDXC can read. What's the point other than marketing BS? :)
[Galaxy Note II General] rockky:
Course it is. Assuming your an S-pen user.

Get a spreadsheet and itemize the smartphone components from battery function to camera/video to processing to screen display to software feature innovation via s-pen etc...and with root and say Slim Bean ROM, its more of a beast!...

It sits at the top of the smartphone hill (for the moment).

(Take your blinders off so you can do the spreadsheet thing and find out for yourself)
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
Who allowed you guys to go to sleep?

I am enjoying the discussion :) ( actually I just woke up)

Anyway, logic not always reigns.

For instance, right now according to this poll (with a reasonable number of voters), relatively, 60% of the GNote2 users, won't move on to the Gnote3.

And it would remain like this, however....

In this particular world of the OCFD and gadget addiction (always looking for any kind of bleeding edge), things can turn around very fast, no logic involved..

Wanna bet?

Stay tuned, and check the poll results over a couple of weeks....it's a funny world

And at the end of the day....money talks....

[Galaxy Note II General] Formhault:
The guys at International Digital Times are right.

"Our recommendation if you already own a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is to stick with it for about another year. The next generation of phones in 2014 are going to start introducing some fascinating new technology that really will be revolutionary. On the other hand, if you don't own a phablet and you want when then put the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on the top of your list. Yes it is very expensive but it blows just about every other phablet out of the water and it is well worth considering."

But still... I find the 720p resolution this 5.5" screen has quite annoying. I don't have perfect eyesight, but I do notice the pixelation everywhere. :)

And the AMOLED the Note 2 has isn't really great. I'm really looking forward to see how the Note 3 performs when it comes to screen brightness and homogeneity (the Note 2's screen isn't really homogenous when it comes to colours :rolleyes: ).

So yeah. That's why I'd switch to the Note 3. Better screen, better chipset + better battery life implicitly :)

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

And 32GB of internal storage... internal storage that's GOT to be faster than the one the Note 2 has... You're not impressed yet? :rolleyes:

I hate having two storages (internal + external SD card). Folders are getting created here & there, God knows what for... God knows where they should be placed by default etc.

That's another thing I'd switch to the Note 3 for. :D
[Galaxy Note II General] sohebq:
I will move on but not right now, will wait for at least a month. I will be reading a lot of comments, reviews to analyze how's the performance improvement. How much camera has improved and hows the battery and rest of stuff. I would have S4 right now but I am glad that I waited waited, read user reviews and found out issues about it then decided to stick to n2. Will be doing the same now.
[Galaxy Note II General] starche_old:
You agree, that 1080p screen need 2.25 times more raw power, right? In order CPU/GPU to be more efficient, they should at least, let's say, 3 times more efficient (to cover 2.25 plus to gain smth) against previous generation CPU/GPU with 720p. Simple math, right? Now, do you really think the difference can be THAT huge? I don't think so. And even "bigger" battery (not really - 3200 vs 3100) can't make that much difference.

And whoever and whatever saying I used to check the numbers first, just to make sure we are on the same page. and "four hours more video playback time" sounds kinda unrealistic, to be polite. But again, Santa comes to my kids once in a while, so let's wait and see :)

Container - is like truecrypt, EDS, etc. (I wonder about encryption level of Knox), so nothing new. EAS - simple vpn thing? Well, nice to have and such, but nothing really innovative. I guess, Sammy wanna take RIM market, especially while they doing not that great.

Agreed.

Not really. Like trust me: if N3 will be with flexible screen, thicker and heavier gaining in battery - I'll be the very first in the line and I'll be in your team. But... All changes are huge if come from N1, but really not that much to make me sell N2I can buy, I see just no sense for my self to do so. Disclaimer: I'm talking about myself solely.

Exactly right :)

What exactly features you are using? Just curious if that can be done on AOSP ROM. For sure, not everything, but majority I think is doable. In the same time, just read smth about Halo, Pie control and app bar with unlimited qty of (and less then a dozen from Sammy) and be a bit jealous :)

The difference in performance is visible. My wife's N2 (full stock, no root) drives me nuts being soooo slooooooow. In the same time, she grabbing my phone seeing it's visibly snappier. Even then: stock FW is a GIG huge while CM is 170-180Mb. Just think: the whole operation system + features + apps is only 1/6 of Sammy FW, so what other 800+MB going? And that N2, I'm *zip* about S4. That's nasty... You need more cores, more RAM, more space, more everything to deal with new animation in TW. But instead - just fix the thing, optimize it and such. But who cares if you can put more powerful CPU...

I would wait for nexus5, but also I'm aiming coming spring for Ubuntu phone. I'm using Ubuntu as my the only system since 2006 or 2007, I know it and features wise - looks quiet interesting for me. But we'll see with what they will come up with and such. Togari with 6.4" looks differently from N2 thus interesting as well.

Not for long, trust me :) And if bootloader will be really locked (let's wait for production devices), then Sammy is out of equation automatically for me, exactly as it was with Moto till recently.

How I can get my $5? :)
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
And don't believe everything you read..

Go to the showroms and play with it yourself, taking your own conclusions...

For instance, I will be taking my AKG headsets to showroom and compare the sound quality of the Gnote3 against my Wolfson powered, Voodoo tweaked GNote2 :good:

[Galaxy Note II General] Formhault:
If the N3 will have a locked bootloader... Nexus 5 for the win :)

[MENTION=296959]starche_old[/MENTION]

Btw, I have the same situation here, my N2 it's totally customized and even with dual boot (Devil kernel) while my wife's is untouched 100% stock..And still, very responsive...

If your wife's GNote2 is that slow as you said, then she broke it :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Edit: Actually I changed just a couple of things in my wife's phone: I replaced tw launcher with Nova and removed some stuff from startup.

Btw, that always the first thing I do on a new phone: Changing the standard launcher
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
I give 3 weeks for it to get unlocked..

Edit- I mean, root workaround...
[Galaxy Note II General] almaalma74:
685 Euro is enough pricey for the new Note3. OK, I know it has 32gb and many extra stuffs...
[Galaxy Note II General] Formhault:
You mean a possiblity to gain root? That's nice :)

So no bootloader unlocking, you say?
[Galaxy Note II General] rraaka:
no doubt i love the screen size and quality/specs etc, i love TW

but

hopping from one model to the next and to the next and taking the bait is not a smart choice

its an extravagant choice

its a vicious circle we all need to step out of

im not getting it when the forum or Samsung tells me to

[Galaxy Note II General] sohebq:
How are you sure about 685 euros?
[Galaxy Note II General] Formhault:
I... don't think I'd want a device with a locked bootloader. I mean, what the hell... what can you possibly do on it? Flash another kernel? No? :silly:
[Galaxy Note II General] Tny35:
I have order the Note 3 because every year, with my carrier (orange swiss), i can change 1 smartphone.. I attend the 25 sept :) But, if i had to buy it, i don't change my fantastic Note 2...
[Galaxy Note II General] Formhault:
Samsung's Galaxy Note line was always good. They won't fail to deliver now :)

Except for that bootloader part... Let's hope it won't be bad :)
[Galaxy Note II General] CLARiiON:
What's a "worthy" upgrade? What really constitutes a "worthy" upgrade??

IMO, that's something dependent on individual. People say Samsung is not innovating. I should ask them what is innovative them? Give me an example of an ground-breaking "innovation" so that we can compare.
[Galaxy Note II General] starche_old:
Exactly right, nwxus5 is #1 in my list for now.

Well, she kinda likes TW. She was using Nova (me personally consider Nova the best launcher), but like TW. I know, that's weird, but... :)

How do you turn off the shutter sound on the camera without silencing the phone? I cannot find it in the camera app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsheedy:
Verizon doesn't give us the option to turn it off. I ended up using Tasker. If you search the forums others have mentioned other fixes they have used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Theres an option to turn the shutter sound off. Open the camera, hit menu and open the settings menu, hit the gear on the far right for more settings and its near the bottom.

If you are rooted, go to /system/csc/feature.xml and change this to true (make a copy first in case it gets messed up):

Hello everyone,

Im glad to join this forum!

I Have a problem that came up just 2 weeks after i bought the phone.

When I here music (earphones & speaker), after short time i hear just noise.

I send the phone to the lab and they said that everything its ok, they just did some kind of reset.

Its sound unreliable to me.

It could be software problem or it must be hardware?

Im using stok rom.

Hi,

I want to mount a network share from my Home network with the app "CifsManager" but I get the error message "mount : no such device"

I have read that I need to load a module "cifs.ko" which is specified for the device. Unfortunately I can't find such a module for the Note 8. (@edit: I have already rooted the tab)

At an other thread here on xda someone seems to have integrated an module in an kernel, but I didn't like to flash the kernel if it isn't absolutely necessary.

Does anybody have a link where I can download a working module for the GT-N5100?

Thanks

It is a well known thing now that after updating we are not able to downgrade the modem :confused:as it alters the EFS. :eek:What could be the reason Sammies have done this? any guess? imo downgrading the modem must have been causing lots of disruptions in transmissions or the new modems may have been programmed to some new international norms. What is your opinon?:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorator:
Whatever the reason it sucks!

Nothing compares to the battery life you get on the first 4.1.1 roms and modems.

I'm glad I made a backup of the efs partition so I could get back to 4.1.1, people who didn't are kind of tied to the new modems at the moment...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat9v:
Have you even read through those topics? The problem lies in kernels, not modems. Don't flash new kernels and you are safe, I jump around between different roms, old and new, but always flash Perseus kernel after flashing rom and never had any problem with lost IMEI. Not once had I have to restore EFS.

Beside that, with Sudden Death Syndrome, it is quite sound policy to not allow users to flash old firmware as it could result in that bug again.

The strange thing is that this problem only affects the n7100 model none of the s3 variants and n7105 had this problem with the latter kernel/modems.
