[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
Before you sell it off just wait and test it and wait a while. My handset became so unstable that I was scared to switch it off. :) Once the reboots started when I was travelling out of town. It was quite an experience. That too without a ROM to re-flash if necessary. Now I keep a copy of the ROM on my laptop. :) This error could be either a software of a hardware bug. BTW did you get the update dated Nov 28? Not sure if that is to resolve the issue. No change log yet.

There are some suggested work-arounds like removing the SD card etc here:

The boot loop and sudden restart issue affects both the Exynos and SD800 versions of the Note 3. It is not confined to any particular version. It was reported as early as mid Oct just weeks after the Note 3 was released.

Thanks for your reply mate... I am patient till I find a buyer, I won't lose much on the note 3 sale. Max, 5K INR (I'm in africa actually :D). And i will still buy another Note 3. On MI5 firmware and bootloader. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
A small loss...that's great to know. But I am hoping that you are able to fix your handset. Good luck mate. :)

Anyone knows where to get the snapdragon version in delhi and how much would it cost?

Ppl who have purchased or seen, please reply.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shethsa:
Which apps? I'm also seeing just 10hrs of battery vs 15 prior to the update
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajat_delhi:
Yeah my battery is also leaking after the update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
Bad battery here too... Started after MJ7 update. Still same on MK2 :(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
I am not from Delhi so cant point you to a local seller. But there are people selling the SD800 on eBay as well. You may want to consider that option. Only buy from eBay sellers (based in Delhi/Mumbai or elsewhere) with a 99% or above +ve rating with clear return policy.

The SD800 carries no warranty in India. but the seller will provide a software warranty i.e. only software issues will be tackled. I guess that just means they will reload the OS for you.

My phone is running MK2. The first reaction was...hey it seems to be chewing thru the battery. But now it has stabilised. More or less the same as MJ7 Make sure you reboot the phone after the update. Better still clear the cache.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
Flashed many ROMs, done that many times, but thanks!

I want to try this now - "Let the battery drained out completely, removed the battery from the phone and left it out for 15 minutes. Plugged it back in and charged it fully"

He says his battery is back to normal after this....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
Yes a battery calibration may also do the trick.

Check ebay samsung galaxy note 3 lte model it will cost you around 51k..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
You can buy from Gaffar Market Delhi, I got the N9005 for 42.5k.

I also had the N900, gave it to my girlfriend. Both the phones have same performance, in fact I found the scrolling to be smoother on N900.

But you have better developer support on n9005, I am using XNOTE 5.1 which is very good.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheSkyKnight:
The only seller i could find with good rep is selling at 49.9k. A little too much for something without any warranty. I was looking more towards 40k as the indian model sells at 45ish now.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Thank u vikas. How is the heating issue between both phones? Ive heard that sd800 heats up a lil less and thus maintains better battery life. True?

PLEASE CHECK YOUR INBOX. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
As long as demand for the LTE /SD800 version remains inflated due to some misconceived notion of superior performance, when tests have shown the 2 SOCs are more or less equal, you will find inflated prices for the SD800.

Of course if you are a serial ROM flasher then the SM9005 is definitely the better option as the SM-M900 is sold in other areas of the world i.e. other than N & S America + Europe. Most of the developers are based on those 3 continents hence the natural leaning towards development for the SD800 variant.

By saying so I do not mean that you should not go in for a SD800..just be aware of the risk they carry in this country. IMHO it's a pretty expensive gamble.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheSkyKnight:
Hi,

My primary concern is the development community and the secondary is the battery/heating issues. I don't think 4k recording is a must have feature. Nor do i want a 4g phone but the comments of overheating and less developer focus scares me.

I'm looking for a droid with multitasking, good rom support and best battery life. And yes, a big fan of amoled. So, I'm guessing note 3 is my only option. What do u suggest, friend?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
My N900 never heated. You can do benchmarks straight in a row but scores would be same.

On the other hand N9005 heats up quite quick. One time you will get 36k in ANTUTU and run it again 30k next time.

But I have a custom kernel and have undervolted it, It remains quite cool now.

Battery life is more or less the same. Expect 5-6 hours of on screen time with 50% brightness. I have sent u a PM.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pd1985:
Agreed there is and would be more development for sd800 , but with n900 there is one year warranty which is really peace of mind , spending more than 43 k for samsung without warranty doesn't seem logical but then it's up to you , whether you want sd800 with more support but no warranty or n900 exynos with less support but warranty in case there is some issue with the hardware , I would suggest you to go for n900 with warranty is you ask me

Do thank if I helped!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheSkyKnight:
Got your pm and replied. :) 5-6 hours? Man.. Thats way too low. My s3 can do 4-5. Is note 2 a better option? Battery is a pretty important feature for primarily considering the phone.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

And about over heating, is that true? Ive been hearing flaming reviews from indian owners about overheating since day 1.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] benzmar:
"Your Internet Connection is Unstable" notification is quite frustrating. I did many things and it works for a while and then again pops up, disconnecting my wifi or weakening my wifi. Is there any solid fix for it? I'm quite annoyed with this in spite of having a strong 25 mbps speed. I don't see these in my other phones and tablets.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
It depends on usage. People here get 8-9 hours of on screen time. There is a thread. Look into it.

I keep everything on GPS, WiFi etc. 60 percent brightness. I am pretty happy with the battery life.

I don't know maybe I had a good unit ;)

I played Modern Combat 4 for an hour straight on my N900, my battery temp was still 33. Phone was also slightly hot only.

People here write it gets too hot to even touch on your cheeks during a call. :eek:

And about s3 my GF used to get 2 hours on screen time with hers. She is over the moon with her note 3 battery life.:p

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Tsrujan:
Does anybody know if the 4k recording feature will come later in the note 3 to India ??????
[Galaxy Note 3 General] StylishMafia:
It won't. its only in the snapdragon version which isn't coming...anyway you can see that quality on note 3..you need a device which supports it like bravos 4k or such
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uv.mrcool:
You can only expect software based features to come over the air. This is a hardware feature that isn't featured in OCTA processor.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Tsrujan:
Can you expect a hardware update on the phone by December or January????

Bcoz I do a lot of video recording.

Would be cool to show of the 4k to my iPhone 5s scanner buddies.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kmysore:
Hardware of a phone constitutes various physical components such as the motherboard, screen, camera etc. These cannot be updated over the air like how you update a phone's software. You get what the manufacturer provides. The only way to upgrade the hardware is to buy the next version of the phone when it is released.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] StylishMafia:
hardware is any physical

device, something that you are able to

touch and software is a collection of

instructions and code installed into

the computer and cannot be touched.

For example, the computer monitor

you are using to read this text on and

the mouse you are using to navigate

this web page is computer hardware.

The Internet browser that allowed you

to visit this page and the operating

system that the browser is running on

is software.

Clearly unless you get it modified hardware cannot be 'updated'.

But 4k only sounds cool like I said earlier-check out that post if you haven't seen it. What actually is a cool feature is that note 3 will get an update in the coming months which will make it a true octacore processor.

I did not mean a samsung phone flying through internet.

I meant different variants like the s4 had s4 active and s4 zoom.

A note 3 variant.

Demo unit snapdragon

Hi,

I just saw a note 3(s) on samsung cafe jayanagar Bangalore.... and i have a few Questions.

As per my knowledge for India will get Octa core version. but the display unit look like a snapdragon version :confused: .(below is the picture of setting menu)

I confirmed with dealer and he is saying on 25th they will going to sell same version. And Price will be around 46 to 47 k.

my question is if i get a snapdragon version is there any problem with software updates in future ?

Octa core or snapdragon which is best ?.. suggestion pls..:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] XDA HellHound:
I live in Bangalore too near jayanagar..are you referring to the smartcafe near the jayanagar 4th block bus stop?(next to cafe pascucci)..also they directly quoted a price of 46k or you bargained a bit? I am planning to buy it from there so could you please give me the exact details?

As for your question there are several things to consider,,

1) I would agree snapdragon with adreno 330 is a better deal, but in india the octa core version is the one being sold and later on warranty issues might cause you trouble since that version is not the one meant to be in india...Actually shouldnt be a problem but questions will definitely be asked. [Im not sure about this point but i think samsung releases updates region wise and the wrong phone might cause trouble...but im not sure about this)

2) Another thing to consider is that soon samsung is going to release an update for a true octacore processor which would probably make it much faster and snappier..that would be important to consider...

http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/sam...ta-core-38518/

3) I dont know whether that is snapdragon or exynos..Im sorry but i cant help you on this...and lol ive seen the guy there at the smartcafe and he doesnt know anything xD

Its a tough decision so think carefully before buying...and as a word of precaution open the box there and check for physical damage, whether it makes proper call functions and stuff (dial *#0*#)

Once again please provide the details :)

thanks!

Yes Same shop after 4th block jayanagar bus stop.

and regarding price yes they are saying it will be around 46 to 47 k + some gift(s)..(he didn't reveal what exactly)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Strategist:
I had a look at one at a Samsung store too and I was really impressed. The screen is beautiful and the phone seemed really smooth. The new S-pen seems more comfortable for writing and that action menu seemed quite useful. The new back cover feels nicer to hold too though I would probably use a case anyway. Overall the screen alone makes it a worthy upgrade to the Note 2 IMO.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] alok_dhawal:
I had the same dilemma.. Searched a lot and couldn't find a safe retailer. Have settled for exynos and ordered from India times. Till tomo you can get it for 41k. Frankly is not worth losing warranty.. What's worse off anything happens they wouldn't even have spares to do a paid repair. And for barely visible performance difference (benchmark apps .. Who uses them anyway.. And all phones cheat on them) is not worth the pain buddy.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thelostlegend:
here you go
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheSkyKnight:
Development community is the only reason for me buying a droid. If elite xda members are focusing only on the snapdragon model, there's no point in getting the exynos. I do not care about performance difference between them just the battery life. But since ppl are saying this is the same on both phones, my only priority is the development.

Congrats on your purchase. Let us know how the shipping goes with India times.

Hey guys I am new to this forum,

I am planning to buy the note 3 and as you'll know snapdragon version is not available in India my main concern is how is the exynos compared to snapdragon? any difference except 4k recording, 4g, and higher clock speed, also in real life usage can you confirm and say exynos has no lags whatsoeva and no issue n is on par with snapdragon 800, I really wana get note 3 but I am really awfully double minded whether to go with exynos version or not I am not interested in custom ROM's and etc so development is not any issue pls do reply and tell me how good or bad is the exynos compared to snapdragon specifically mali t628 gpu compared to adreno 330 in real life performance, thanks!

We'll between the 2spigen looks much more sleek... Can't make much of the bulk from the pics... May be in hand you feel the difference.

Then s view case should be a good idea given it replace the back cover and has cool features as taking a pic from the lock case...but it is expensive.... Confusion confusion...

Btw just update indiatimes has shipped so should have n3 by Monday Tuesday!! Yeah!
