[Galaxy Note 3 General] sachinaik:
The demo unit is a Snapdragon S800 model with 2.3Ghz cpu speed.

It tends to get little warm. I also noticed it in Univercell. That time i used the phone while charging.

But when you buy, you get a SM-N900 Exynos version with 1.9Ghz speed which gets very acceptably warm while gaming/benchmarking.

Only thing is that in below two scenarios it will get more warm:

1. First time when you transfer media/photos from older phone to internal sd card.

2. You add an external sd card with lots of media/photos.

At this time Samsung Indexing process and Android Media Process hog CPU and cause phone to get warm.

Just put it near AC or Fan for 30m-3hrs depending on amount of photos/media in sdcard.

Even after that if it doesnt get cool, restart it once and terminate "media" process from Running/Cached Apps list.

After terminating check both lists again and if you still find media process running, terminate it again. Repeat the steps till the process doesnt reappear.

The phone also might go into media scanning frenzy when you take first time photos from camera. Just terminate media process again.

Use free Cool Tool to determine the Most Resource Consuming process to identify that it is indeed a media scanner hog.

This is common in all android phones. You will have to stop it first 3-4 times till it stabilizes.

I'm really happy with N3 after taking loads and loads of craps from Sony Z, LG Gpro, S4 and HTC One.

N2 was better but ppi was only 267 and hence I was unhappy with it.

N3 is just perfect.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

I wouldnt suggest G2. Its only strong on paper. Read carefully android police review to know what I'm talking about.

Z1 has disappointing battery life and camera. Its an unfinished product.

N3 is the best you can get in market for now.

HDFC CreditCard 10% discount is there on N3. I think the offer expires today or on 30th. Check with Customer care.

Not new. Samsung messed up IMEI with downgrade in past too. S4 lollipop kernel could be problem.

Do this if you want to downgrade in this case

1.BACKUP EFS MUST.

2.downgrade to KK

3.flash lolipop modem.(from same rom on which you were before kk)

Now IMEI should restore.

In case not then - restore IMEI /flash lollipop

There is no difference between our apks. Even replacing your apk doesn't showing it. I think enabling side key remove this OR may be something else.

Issues after official update

Guys, battery on Kitkat wasnt great, but could pull through the day..

After the updates (official, OTA), facing plenty of issues. BATTERY DRAIN has increased intensely. Lose 1% every 30 seconds on so on wifi, not much improvement even when its off. Overheating as well, reaches 40*c pretty quick on games like CoC, PvZ :(:(

Apart from that, things like

"Recommended Apps stopped working" on connecting headphones

Crash on accessing some settings

In music player, crash on selecting artists menu

+ MORE

If someone could suggest solutions for battery drain itself, that'd be a big help :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] krooksrocks:
I agree and I'm just frustrated with lollipop my phone dies in 7 hours, earlier it used to pull through for about 18 hours ..the update is pathetic. Yesterday ìt just died and refused to start for an hour due to battery issues

Any solutions cos' we really could need some

Before Lollipop the full charge on battery on Note 3 lasted 1.5 days ..with 3G and wifi on and about 30 mins of asphalt or dead trigger type of games and about 45 mins of youtube streaming on chromecast ..rest all normal browsing .. so actual battery was never a problem.. just that lollipop update is not stable which causes battery drain issues

Dear Friends

I read latest posts regarding Lollipop and Kitkat

I am on Stock ROM downloaded from Sammobile.com for Country code INU

2. No xposed module work:(

3. Though maximum white background, Battery life does not affected

4. All Material Design is something attractive

Guys, why do I have yellowish display (warm whites) on my note 3? I've read somewhere that if I select some other screen mode like professional or movie (if i'm not forgetting), that will have bluish whites, but at my end, it is quite opposite. Right now i'm on standard screen mode, and when go to professional or movie, it appears ugly yellowish. The whites on screen appears very yellow. Though on Standard mode, the display appears less yellowish than movie and professional modes. Any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
Uncheck the reading mode, if it's turned on.

And turn on dynamic mode.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
Every phone has a different calibration I guess? Also if I have read things right then the Exynos model tend to do this, I mean they are kind of yellowish than the Snapdragon versions. Again, I have read this on GSMArena blog page, so I am not sure how true is that.

You can't do anything actually, other than installing an app called Screen Adjuster and increase the Blue channel there. It will just shadow that warm effect then.

Be informed though, changing mode to either Professional or Cinema will make it even more Yellowish, as those modes are more properly saturated, so whoever said that it will be more bluish has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. One more thing, eyes might find white as pure white great, but that's actually pretty bad saturation, there is no perfect white for a properly calibrated display, it will always appear yellowish (Search Google about this), so what you are having is actually normal, unless you don't like saturated colours. Still if you want that popping up vibrant experience then change to Dynamic mode.

I for one, use Cinema mode for as long as I can remember, and the saturation of the display is almost perfect and in fact better than my 6 bit IPS panel monitor.

PS: And yeah, make sure Reading mode is disabled. Above user is right.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheRebel:
Thanks for ur reply. Yeah i have reading mode disabled. But still my phone's display appears yellowish. I thought there was something wrong with my display. I have taken pics, but they didnt come out fine. You will not be able to see the difference.

Anyway, after reading the last post, it gave me some satisfaction that all amoeled displays are little warm, i mean they have warm whites.

Hope my phone display doesnt have any issue.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
You should let an expert examine your device. By turning on dynamic mode, the screen turns on as white as it possibly can. But as you said, it is not the case for you. Something might be wrong with the display.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheRebel:
Thanks for the response. And i m using Standard screen mode, not dynamic. And on my phone standard and dynamic look almost same in whiteness. I guess either my display has some issue, since it has warm whites which dont look that normal. I have also used nexus 4, and my note 3 display has warm whites than nexus 4. If someone else also has nexus 4 and can compare his note 3 display with mako and finds note 3 whites warmer, then seems my note 3 is also fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShubhamB123:
Guyz please create a custom kernel for note 3 n900 android 5.0
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
Almost same? Are you sure about this? If you are absolutely certain that Standard and Dynamic is

almost same

then there's something wrong with your phone's display.

But just make sure what you are saying, Dynamic mode should make the phone's display extremely cool and the whites will not be white, it will be bluish white, it's the most saturated profile.

If you have a good camera you can take a photo of both modes and compare.
