yes did a factory reset , now it does get warm but not as hot as it used to be , 3g seems to be a culprit in making the phone hot , don't know about 2g but wifi keeps the phone cool even though wifi speed sucks , same file gets downloaded fast on other phones than note 3

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sachinaik:
Rest of the review :

1. Sunlight legibility is good. But not huge when compared to my Note2.

2. Headphone audio clarity is very good. Clear and loud.

3. Loudspeaker is okish.

4. Quadrant score is 19105.

5. Played temple run OZ for 5 mins. its very mildly warm. Far far cooler than s4.

Overall great.

Note 3 Indian Version - European SIM ???

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your wonderful work, I was able to track through all the comments and now I think I am ready to buy Note 3

However I had few doubts, great if you can help

What I know

1) Indian Version- Exynos 5 Octa - Rs.49,990 , possible price drop by October 2nd/3rd week in street store

2) UK Version - Snapdragon 800- GBP 629 /else locked on contract 24 months/ has region lock ???

3) US Version - Snapdragon 800 - USD 850 ?? /locked on contract 24 months/has region lock ???

I was thinking of buying this phone from UK but just saw in this forum a picture which says that Europe Note 3 not usable in India, Is there a similar restriction on Indian version of Note 3

I think UK version converting to Indian Rs would come out to Rs.60K approx, i don't think it is worth buying at such a high price in spite of Snapdragon 800 processor , Indian version is still fine as long as it does not overheat and has similar performance.

I am hoping that Indian Note 3 goes through another price revision due to Diwali but have to decide on Indian Note 3 being usable in US/UK

and not have similar region locks

Please help

Is the Sandisk sdhc class 10 memory card compatible with note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sachinaik:
1. No

2. No

3. While playing games its hardly warm. I think the Mali T628 is an optimized GPU.

Temp while charging is no biggie.

4. It does feel a littlr bit taller than note2. But less wider and a lot less heavier. Hence the feel in pocket and on hand are far better than note2.

5. Some special features

A. You can have 8 apps running in parallel in multi window.

B. You can touch SPen on back and menu button and they work !

C. Watch On has Tatasky now.

You can upgrade manually by downloading the firmware from www.sammobile.com/firmware

And install it via PC Odin.

I've got the Singapore version N9005 and I've installed NE3 (the newest) and battery life is good.

Sammobile is very slow to downloadso I found a mega download link in the NE3 firmware thread.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sachinaik:
Bad move buddy.

N3 sunlight contrast ratio : 3.999

Z2 sunlight contrast ratio : 1.9

Z2 touch sensor array is visible under direct sunlight.

N3 internal mem : 32GB

Z2 : 16GB

N3 Headphone audio is louder than Z2.

Z2 overheats even for small tasks. Check out geekyranjit channel in YouTube. He has posted a video of how hot Z2 gets during gameplay.

Sony is not like Samsung. Z2 is plagued with build quality : speaker hissing, overheating etc. Z2 is also claimed to be laggy sometimes.

4k video recording is flaky as sometimes within a minute camera app closes and says "camera closed because of overheating".

I don't recommend that. It won't be a true upgrade to N3. Buy N4 or G3.

My note 3 is 16 GB though.

Audio Quality n Aux is pretty good and Camera was more or less a digicam when I used it.

USB OTG storage media issue

Hey guys. I am not able to connect my pen drive and portable hard drive on my note 3 exynos variant. When I connect, the mass storage device shows up in notification tray for a second or two and gets removed immediately with a pop up saying that the device has been removed safely. My usb mouse is working just fine, it's only the problem with storage devices. Any guesses what might be the issue? Anyone else faced this issue before?

If u are on windows formatting is the best option as its not happening with 1 particular device and happening with all storage devices. Reinstalling Universal Bus also wont be helpful as you stated your mouse works fine.

S5 it is, as it has to somewhat improved touchwiz, lower price (37500), 4k, 16MP fast shutter camera.

Besides note3's touchwiz has memory leaks.

But be ready to deal with ultra crappy loudspeaker, no USB 3.0 cable in box, crappy flaps you need to open every time you want to charge the phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sgsI9003:
My N9006 battery was giving poor backup hence I bought a new battery & found that the battery monitor wizard is showing the capacity as 1000mAh only where as the battery capacity mentioned on it is 3200mAh, bought it from a samsung shop but it was a packed in polythene only with samsung logo.

How long does your battery last?

How long it takes from 5%-100% recharge?

What capacity does it show you in battery monitor wizard?

Is there a way to check if battery is original or not?

till which year Google will stop providing updated to note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mr.Raviteja:
Mine shows 2100mAh...I have not changed battery

Maybe samsung cheating us or app got wrong info :p:p

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Google has nothing with this....Samsung will provide updates for 18 months
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sgsI9003:
I found that its the kernel which reports the battery capacity which is causing this, I have manually changed it to 2100mA & now its fine, giving 29-32hrs backup good enough for extensive use.

I found that the following

So in my case I have 3200mA battery & 5V output from charger

hence 3200x5V divided by 3.2=5000mA

So instead of 5000mA why does kernel report the battery at 2100mA

I am investigating it further the mystery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sandy_thegame:
i thought it was for 2 yr it means if i brought note 3 now i will get update till next june only
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajat_delhi:
It is confusing. Changing property in bmw can increase the battery life? Mine is reporting 1000 mah.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sgsI9003:
Oh Yes it can dramatically increase the life, In my case too it was reporting 1000mA (I think its a bug in kernel on 4.4.2). Actually kernel doesnt know teh battery capacity but somehow assumes it.

1. Any way change it manually to 3200

2. Then charge battery to 100% once it shows 100% keep it on charge for another 30 mins for trickle charge.

3. then delete all battery history/statistics/ estimations from within BMW

4. use as normal but ensure that you let the battery die completely (phone should refuse to boot up on battery) before you plugin for next charge. (don't charge in between at all) the idea is to tell BMW the max & the min current which the battery can handle based on that BMW calculates the battery %

5. at least do this 100-0 then 0-100 cycles 3-4 times BMW will have enough data history to calibrate your battery.

I am now getting 36-40hrs backup on 100% charge :) This bug of kernel reporting mAh wrongly capacity happened in 4.4.2 update, on 4.3 many users say it was showing 3200mAh correctly.

I am now going to increase from 2100 to 3200 & see what happens then.

Buying Note3, give your suggestion's.

Hello everyone, I guess I'm a bit late at entering this division and asking this question. I had been using a Nokia N8 till now, I still believe it is an excellent piece of hardware that Nokia has made in the past. I accidentally rinsed my phone at the laundry and now it's all dead and cannot be repaired. I'd used it almost for 3.5 years. I'm now thinking of buying a new phone and most probably it'd be a Note 3 , I had some confusion regarding the phone please help me in clearing these confusions

1.Can I expect a fall in the price of Note 3 in few months as the rumours AF note 4 are surfacing.

2. Will the camera quality will be at par with the camera quality of Nokia N8?

3. Will the phone be updated if newer versions of android comes up, at least a version above KitKat.

4. From a long term usage perspective is worth the amount I'll be paying for? Ill be using it for next 3-4 years.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sgsI9003:
Yes after 8-12 months the prices would be far less but are you going to wait till then? Note 2 is available in 15-20K in the market buy that & update to the latest OS whatever is available for it.

Yes it should be but I haven't tested N8 so cant compare.

Yes but how does that matter in daily usage I have never understood, I still use an old phone which has GB2.3 & I wish I could load the original Froyo on it as the functions were without any bug, further OS were released but some or the other bug still remains.

Yes & no that lot depends upon how you use phone, remember note 3 size is big & using it for daily usage can be a challenge for many people managing many different task, you may soon realize that its too big & want to go smaller. (for this I still have my older phone) :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] japjit100:
if you happy with n8 buy used n8 from olx you got for 5k to 8k best for you

If you don't want to spend too much money on phone

Now 3 is good phone but if you don't think about size

I m using note 3 I m very satisfied with it

If you want smaller note 3 then go for s5 is very good phone its available for 35k in flipkart

First go to any showroom feel the phone then make a decision

Note 3 have very good camera don't think about camera

S5 have best camera in Market now
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sachinaik:
I would suggest you to wait for Iphone6 4.7 inches.

Coming from Nokia, you won't be happy with the build quality of any of the Android phones. Even the most discussed HTC One M8 (fatal flaw in boomsound speaker grills)

Also since you are looking for 3-4 years. None of the Android phones are currently used by anyone for 3-4 yrs at least here in xda. People use for an yr and sell it for the next yr and buy a new one.

So none of us have a better idea.

Samsung especially has a habit of release corrupt software update for its last yr flagship when this year flagship is on the verge of release.

HTC is a black mark in technology and engineering with its stupid ultra pixel camera.

Sony with its stupid waterproofing overheating ****.

LG is literally ****.

I mean look at how every you tubers and sites are drooling over LG G3. Just because they got 1444p screen. In fact gsmarena measured various aspects of screen and measurements speak for Itself.

The contrast ratio is pathetic 809. It should be ~1700 for flagship (HTC One m7, iPhone 5)

The brightness at 50% is 109 nits which is a joke. So users even to use it indoors have to see the brightness to 75%. In my n3 for indoors I set it to 10%.

The sunlight visibility is 1.8. It should be at least 2.5.

People are so arrogant and fan boyish that they say I don't use it in sunlight, it's natural color blah blah...

In reality the screen is washed out.

Know that the famous Qualcomm Snapdragon processors have audio codec that's literally ****s on users ears. It's quiet as a dumb *****. Only HTC manages to overcome it by encorporating hardware amplifiers for headphones and speakers. But the UltraPixel camera is a useless camera.

Apart from Samsung in India everyone uses Qualcomm. But Samsung has its own flaws, fatal ones.

I mean this **** is so deep that the moment anyone gets their Android phone they tend to change their keyboard. That KB doesn't have the same theme as phone's other components. It's bizarre.

Just wait for 2 months and buy iPhone6. You will get good software updates. And it will still be relevant after 3 yrs..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] krooksrocks:
Hi I too had a N8 one of the last great phones made by Nokia. I had it for 3 years before taking the plunge with Note 3 and absolutely do not regret my decision.

Camera is good.

Built quality is decent and audio is great.

For those who recommended iphone 6 I just hope what they are talking about I have an iPhone 5s ... It is a pathetic phone.. close looped and does not allow freedom as one would expect from your phone. As you are coming a N8 you will feel more at home with a note 3 than an iPhone.

Note 4 would be an update to note 3 ... but note 3 is carrying features which will get incremental changes in note 4 so u might get Note 3 around 40 K now if u bargain hard ....

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sachinaik:
I know the advantages of Android. I like to tinker with phones.

But that died with exynos closed source.

Now Samsung is the only person doing it right in all departments.

Others are horribly wrong with one or other components.

LG G3: screen. Stupid ui overlays

HTC : Ultra Pixels

Sony: Mediocre screen. Overheating mess.

All of them suffer from build quality issues out of the box except Samsung.

I find myself restricted to Samsung in that way. Now Samsung exynos doesn't allow me to tinker much with software AOSP AOKP CM11(proper) GPE all are out of the question.

In this scenario I find the upcoming iPhone6 5.5inch better than exynos note3 and note4's.

Well it's just my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sgsI9003:
SO will iPhone6 allow you to tinker or customize it to that level as you can do it with android? that would be good if apple learns the market requirement & offer 2 versions one for the dummies & one for "we the Xda tinkers" :D they will gain the lost market share in no time if they do so.
