Yes, that is the point . If i am paying say 100 bucks for this Phone & somebody in US or Europe or elsewhere is also paying a similar amount, why should i get an technology which is going to be obsolete soon ? Do we Indians have to take **** all the time ? Do we not have the right to demand the latest & the best ? Do we not have the right to decide & choose ???? Do we not have the right to say all this ?

The fact is that Sammy has dumped an soon to be obsolete technology & some crazy Sammy Fan Boy's r going to any length ( abusing/ridiculing people who have an different POV, making silly/stupid/childish statements like "as one doesn't have the money to buy Exynos, he is going for the SD version:laugh:", feeding wrong information here like that the Telecom authority doesn't allow 4G technology here:D:D, abusing People who r talking FACTS ) to defend this junk, instead of seeking ways to demand what is the best available technology today . The funny part is that they r not ashamed of all the lies they r spreading here & instead, these guys r ganging up here to drown the truth .

I think the FORUM should throw out such members, since they r detrimental to free & fair discussions .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] predator21:
Relax bro....all have their point ov view...its how u present it.... I prefer typical army way steel in velvet glove...bt I do have noticed sm members are very very rough in language... its a presentation of point not a war among consumers.... peace to all .... bt we do have right to make our own option... u r right this tech will be obselete bt max jan or so.... n I am sure samsung will thrown sd800 in india too by then coz lot of people are demanding...bt what abt us who have already bought one..... lets see if at all they do smthng
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
I know, i need to relax & tone down my language, but i didn't start it . People stated making stupid comments, started abusing & started feeding wrong information here & stated ganging up & they got me worked up .

I appreciate your advice & would try not to fall again for these Sammy fan Boy Trollers .

.....btw, i have this info. that SD would be getting launched here in India, also 16 GB Dual Sim Note 3 would eventually get released here . When is the BIG question & my source in Samsung India tells me that they r still debating on the Launch dates, but these getting Launched is almost certain . The issue is that SAMMY is still looking to make some more Indians SUCKERS with Exynos, before they dish out the SD here .

Wait for about a week before Diwali, u would get it for 40K or less .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] predator21:
Yes very true...wait a bit...n u will have it under 40k... my frnd manojas has a valid reading here....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fatekills:
May b Exynos is goin to vanish soon.. but as of now its worth using it.. When 4G comes to india and its affordable we will surely buy the device which is capable of 4G.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
......this is entirely your choice . If somebody wants to buy Note 3 Exynos & Note 3 SD ( or something else with 4G ) within a span of few months & spend close to 1 Lacs on these, he has the option to do it . On 4G being affordable, if one can spend close to 1 Lacs on phones in 3-4 months, he can very well afford 4G .

I would prefer buying the SD right away, so that it is future proof for the next 1 year or so .

As i said, it is entirely one's choice .

..........also, Exynos may not Vanish, Sammy could find more SUCKERS for it .

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

If SD gets launched soon here, expect the Exynos version to get sold at around 35K & ultimately settle close to 32K, 35 K is close to the true current value of this version . Eventually, i expect the SD version to settle at around 40K, though it could get launched around 50K - prices of SD & Exynos would depend on how soon or late the SD becomes available here .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uv.mrcool:
Don't wrry about the price being that high on launch.

There would be max 2-3k price difference between them :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
U could be right here . I am analyzing as per my thought process & could have got it wrong .

.....time will tell :good:.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uv.mrcool:
yup, because the online prices are based on importing these devices from foreign lands.

When it is directly launched here by sammy, price would be just above the exynos one.

(Because they will advertise it's 4k and lte features) :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
If this happens, it would be great for the Indian buyers & the consumer would have a gala time .

.......lets wait & watch .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] beanstalk_230:
What is the source of this news ?? Is this official ??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fatekills:
Yup thats wat even im telling.. Entirely depends on the person wat they wan :) And ya just bccoz 4g is there..u cannot tell SD is future technology.. For me i hav wifi at home, in cab and also in office.. so i don require a 4G.. So its entirely an individuals choice :)

They have got news that their software total recall works with note 3 perfectly but are not sure whether it works with indian exynos or snapdragon version

There is a demo available for note 3 download and check it out , do let me know if it's supporting the indian version

Of note 3

If I have helped do thank!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PrincessZara:
Thanks for suggesting! However, I found their recorder next to useless on both, my S3 and N2. Let's see if more tried and tested suggestions are posted.

1 ) Register on the Play Store with your Device . Whenever u r looking to download anything, it would show the compatibility .

2 ) I see no issues with a set from Vietnam .

3 ) Don't have the Note 3 yet, so cannot comment on Point 3 & 4 .

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

I was not needing any counselling ( actually the Sammy Fan Boy Group is in desperate need for it ), it is just that i took his advise to not fall for the Sammy Boy Trollers here :D.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cellfrens:
some ppl just can do anything to prove themselves right..

you are calling all note 3 buyers in India "Indian SUCKERS with Exynos" and at the same time you are telling that others are abusing you?

you r constantly calling Indian gn3 buyers fools & idiots..and expecting a "free & fair discussion"?

its like someone has given u the power to judge other ppl by analyzing their choices..

you r the one spreading rumors like-exynos is inferior than sd800, samsung will launch sd800 version (theres no official word),gn3 will be available @32k etc..why u r doing so? just to justify the reason that u cant buy gn3 right now? lol

let me tell u! its all in ur head! its all ur imaginations..dont worry u will get well soon..:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uv.mrcool:
1) You don't have to do anything... Play store automatically does that for you. Play store only shows the apps that are compatible for your note 3.

You can also download your apps from the Samsung app store.

2)Samsung's devices are made either in vietnam or in china. Both are ok.

3)The brightness of the display should always be dimmer in darker environments because it can hurt your eyes(if its the other way around).

If Samsung acknowledges the issues. they will definitely send an OTA to fix it.:good:

I did nt councelled any one my frnd like all "manojas" too is also presenting the point...bt what happens is many users jst wanna jump for heck of discussion like our parliement house...all users here r valid and educated jst the differences lays in point of view... as of now lets all chill...who knows what happens tomorrow cheers to all..... bt yes I still say we need strong consumer protection rights.... godbless all n happy navratre to all my brothers here..... keep up the gud work healthy discussions are always knowledgeable n I am happy all hv now mellowed down.... jai mata di

Is there any way to get snapdragon version note 3 in india??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uv.mrcool:
Everybody please calm down. Stop remarking personally.

This is a public forum. You're being watched by the whole world.

This crap sends a wrong message.

The thing is every body has his/her own needs and point of view. There's no need to argue about that. Everybody is not a clone.

Enjoy your devices instead. SD800 or Exynos Octa both are equal. Samsung needs your cash and nothing else. You would spend it on both of the devices. So stop this crap and enjoy your devices :good::cowboy:

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

You can always import it from the foreign lands.

Region lock can be troublesome for you though.

You can go to the SVC to unlock your device or just root and use the chainfire's app to remove the region lock :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
You will notice a certain level of civility which I attempted to maintain in my earlier replies...despite some rather provocative posts from that individual. A slanging match doesn't help anybody. When it continued I simply chose to ignore those posts. Better that way for this forum of N3 owners when it operates in a non-vitiated environment.

Everyone is free to come and discuss, differing views are welcome because it helps all in the long run to get the best experience from this device. But like you said there's a way to put it across. And I hope that message has been taken...whether you intended to counsel him or not.

Happy Navaratri to all and Jai Mata Di.

we all want a healthy discussion..but this particular user is constantly abusing everyone who has an exynos version..and at the same time he is expecting sympathy from others! he is not just posting his POV like others..at the same time he is abusing all other forum members who have a different point of view! :eek:

There are many google services being updated in the background when i connect to the play store, like google video, movie, music,chat on, google chrome, evernote, flipboard, gmail, google search, google+, samsung keyboard update, some of these are important i guess, but in future if i want to turn auto updating off how to do that ? and can i disable certain application from updating themselves by putting them under some block list ?

And a few pages back i read you need to close some music indexing thing 4-5 times so that it wont make the phone heat up, i don't have any audio files on my phone, i just have video files, where to find & close this music indexing thing, i have transitioned from Symbian to android so please bear with me regarding my doubts, however silly they may be :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] r4Rok:
Well, in reality, the company should introduce both the version, with a price difference (if any), and let the consumer decide their choice of product. But these, companies don't in really cared Indian buyers, and keep pushing scale down version on much higher premium in India, to make the profits and offer freebies to US. U.K. and other countries.

Once in my conversation with Steve Jobs, when the iPhone 3G was launched, I asked him to make the phone available in India sooner (as it was launching almost after a year of US launch), and he straight away refused stating "India isn't ready for our products." Now, look the company is releasing their products quickly to grab the market share.

You just need to boycott, Samsung, and tell them, either launch the same config here or get vanished. Or, keep buying what they deiced for this country and donn't cry.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cellfrens:
1.in google play store..open settings=>auto update apps=>check do-not auto-update apps

2.after inserting my newly bought memory card i saw this "indexing service" running for few minutes on my device..but after that it vanished and its not running in background now..i think its a one time process..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
Yes, i agree . We need to protest, maybe boycott Sammy, as u said, but we cannot let them take us for granted & continue dumping junk here .

...........but the problem r the Sammy Fan Boy's . They r ready to droll at anything, Sammy throws in the bin .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rvleo141:
Those who buys samsung Phone are Sammy Fan boys ...?????

One should not buy the samsung phone(even from Singapore or anywhere in this world) if they dont want them to be classified into Fan boy category....if they are buying then they shud put finger on their lips.

Yeah if one wants to boycott its their personal choice because its very difficult for person to understand the business point of view and logical reason . [MENTION=4438668]Sharp-Razr[/MENTION] tried to bring in that angle and make us understand but its unfortunate that the frustration of not having any version right now

clouded their judgement.But still many sane one's are listening and understanding.

The thread was to encourage very useful and informative discussion but i sense few people are using words like "junk", "suckers" etc. I can clearly understand that in their free time (when they dont have note3 ) they can write these words only.

The truth is majority had bought d exynos version and in real life usage they are finding no difference. And i believe in facts so for informed decision have a look at this which was earlier pointed out by friend [MENTION=4438668]Sharp-Razr[/MENTION] http://www.sammobile.com/2013/09/30...s-of-samsung-galaxy-note-3-compared-on-video/

If you have facts ...post them ....if you personal experience after purchasing the device ..post them...lets discuss....but without even having any device...just using very harsh words can only bring out one thing ......FRUSTRATION FRUSTRAT:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:ION AND FRUSTRATION.

and yeah till now Exynos version is LEGENDARY (i need not to wait fr it...)...and those who will get it fr them SD800 will be LEGEN--they have to wait fr it---DARY :laugh::laugh::laugh:

............& i forgot to add that Sammy looks to be relenting & we have have the SD version sooner or later in India .

Sales have been poor here & many Guys r buying SD alternatives of other makes . Sammy seems to notice the dismissal sales & probably has realized its folly of dumping soon to be obsolete technology here .

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

I too am a Sammy Fan ( bought everything from S1 onward ), but i look for VFM & updated offering & don't jump at whatever is thrown here . If Sammy can launch SD elsewhere, why not here ? Somebody gave the excuse that Indian Telecom Authority doesn't allow 4G here . That was totally misinforming/wrong information . 4G should be in the Metros, early next year & would spread gradually .

If other makes can give us 4G complaint sets, why not Sammy ? Why r dishing out something, which would soon be obsolete ?

Now, tell me, is anything wrong in my statement ? It is just that, i don't jump & grab, whatever Sammy throws in the bin . I look at VFM along with the latest technology & here the current offering of Sammy is SIMPLY & COMPLETELY failing .

Thanks cellfrens, so indexing services are only activated if i have a memory card ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uv.mrcool:
Indexing service indexes(database) all the files of your sd card. It will be activated whenever u insert a new card in your device.

Since External sdcards are much slower than the internal ones, indexing is slow for the first time.

It also indexes the internal card but the internal card allows much higher speeds to do that in no time. Plus you can't remove an internal card so that's only a one time process. :good: You probably won't notice it :p

actually, b4 note 3, i never saw this "indexing service" running on any android device that i have used..but there was something like "sd card not ready" etc whenever you restart the device and open the gallery..but i think Samsung has introduced this "indexing" thingy to solve that problem..it will run one time and the next time you wont have to wait for your sd card to be ready..

Rooted

Hey I got Chainfire's root package and rooted my N3. God bless that fella. He's a star!

Here is the link to download the auto root package:

http://download.chainfire.eu/353/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900.zip

Unlike in the N2 and Galaxy S3, the custom firmware counter is not displayed. Current binary and System Status are now set to 'Custom'. The N900 does not have a (visible) Knox counter which the N9005 and some US carrier SIM locked versions do.

Installed Triangle Away but it cannot reset the status back to official. According to Chainfire the only way to reset the counter is to flash the stock ROM and kernel.

Of course you void the warranty if you install custom ROMs and root the phone. Should something go wrong and I need warranty repairs, I'll flash the stock ROM which should reset the system status back to official..then cross my fingers & hope for the best. ;)
