Any information on availability of the Pink Galaxy Note 3?

Just wondering if anyone's heard anything... I figured that since Samsung said it would release it initially with the three colors that they would all three be available, but I keep reading places where it says not to hold your breath. Of course, everyone seems to just be copying the same articles with no real new information.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharl1987:
I am not quite sure, but if you go to negrielectronics dot com you will see that they offer the pink color for pre orders.

That's the link for the pink note @ negrielectronics.com :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] non1oson:
has anyone used this guy before? looks like he is promoting his own website and he talks about his site in 3rd person, oh and he tries to avoid detection by writing dot com instead of hyperlink. he signs up to xda to promote own site september 2013 lol..

sounds like pre order and you won't receive anything yet your funds have been withdrawn from your account.... lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
Negri is well known and is a trusted website.

Most people know it now after Erica (angelofmusic) mentioned and praised it in her in depth reviews.

So yeah.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] non1oson:
ahhh kk fair enough
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharl1987:
Thanks for your trust, lol. I've been coming to this forum for years but was never a member. I am really thankful for all the great things the members have accomplished here. It just happens that I've researched the note 3 quite well and I want to help others as well. And the reason why I use the dot com format is because I am a new member and couldn't post links then.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] non1oson:
gotta think of all the outcomes bro. haha.

all good I might check your site out, if you said we instead of they. I wouldn't have assumed what I assumed lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMax99:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but negri does NOT ship internationally?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharl1987:
I honestly have no clue, I merely pointed out that some store its offering the pink version, I have never ordered anything from negrielectronics.com, Amazon will probably offer the pink version eventually, and they do shop internationally. But maybe by then it will already be available where you are.

Negri is not mine :confused:

I wish it was, but I have no clue who it belongs to :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holycow1:
I was mainly trying to see if there was information on carrier availability in the US....

It's not an option for Verizon to buy a carrier unlocked version since it also runs on CDMA bands.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] non1oson:
why is negri so much cheaper than handtec? what's the difference between t mobile and handtecs version?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharl1987:
handtec is more expensive because of the VAT. But keep in mind that if you are importing the device (not to some specific European countries) you do not pay the VAT( which is 20% of the original price) so the price drops from $941 (with VAT) to $784(excluding international shipping). All in all, you'll end up paying the same price as negri.

As for specs, the handtec note 3 will most likely not work with t-mobile's network. Usually European devices work on AT&T's 3G band and not T-mobile's. Also, 4G will most likely not work with AT&T as well unless the rumors about the Note 3 ,with the Qulacomm snapdragon 800 processor, being able to work with all 4G bands turn out to be true.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avenging:
so where are they selling this exactly? i think romania has them where else?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holycow1:
France has them as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avenging:
do you know of a site where you can get the list of countries that have them? cant seem to find it in google thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holycow1:
No such list exists. However if you go to individual region specific samsung websites (found http://www.samsung.com/pr), you can generally get an idea if the region has it...

Basically any market that uses the international version (N9005 & N900) CAN have it... as of right now.

EX:

France (has it): http://www.samsung.com/fr/galaxynote3+gear/

China (has it): http://support-cn.samsung.com/campaign/mobilephone/galaxynote3/color.html

UK (doesn't have it): http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/galaxy-note/smartphones/SM-N9005ZWEBTU

India (doesn't have it): https://www.samsungindiaestore.com/products/Mobiles/Galaxy_Note_III_SM-N9000ZKE

Australia (doesn't have it): http://www.samsung.com/au/galaxy-note-3-galaxy-gear/

Korea (doesn't have it, surprisingly): http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/skt/SM-N900SZKESKC

[HTC Droid DNA] theemaster:
Sorry, don't know where to post this..?

I'm told one of the few Verizon/cdma carrier neutral smartphones is incredible II.. (should work on sprint, at&t, tmobile and various resellers) I'm just wondering if you guys know any more that preferably have more modern hardware.. ?? I prefer plug n' play type stuff.. and ability to use with MVNO's and android
[HTC Droid DNA] times_infinity:
Well, CDMA to CDMA will be a little work, is also a legal grey area. But there have been many posts saying that this phone (Droid DNA) works on domestic gsm carriers as well.

People report getting HSPA+ speeds on AT&T and TMo(where refarmed to 1900MHz). You'll only get edge speeds on TMo where they haven't refarmed to 1900MHz yet. So any MVNO based on those carriers should work just fine. You'll obviously have to fiddle with APN settings to get data and MMS to work, but it shouldn't be too hard.
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
If you take a DNA to a GSM based carrier, you may need to root/reflash with a ROM that is customized for GSM in order to get the APN settings to stick for MMS to work. The phone is SIM unlocked out of the box, I made a phone call using my DNA after popping in a T-Mobile card, without any changes at all.

Oh, I don't think the Incredible II will work on domestic GSM carriers, only European/foreign. At least I haven't ever heard of it working. You might want to verify that if you go that route. My parents are in Europe right now, however, and using their Incredible II's successfully, including APN changes for MMS.
[HTC Droid DNA] thehoovie:
Hi,

As stated, CDMA to CDMA takes a little bit of work. But carriers in the Philly area, like Cricket, allow you to bring some Sprint or Verizon devices over, with a reprogramming fee. I have heard of people reprogramming CDMA devices for Virgin Mobile.

The Droid DNA is a good choice.

As far as GSM goes, I have used a Verizon s3 on t mobile, rooted with custom APN. The radio's are different and the VZW s3 on t mobile only gets HSPA+ . I would just get a GSM version.

What carrier are you waiting to use ?

~Hoovie
[HTC Droid DNA] theemaster:
Specifically as I stated.. Verizon and tmobile are the top 2 I wish to use.. I wish to use the resellers page plus/lycamobile

A person who uses page plus and has used lycamobile assures me that the incredible II will swap with ease back n' forth after unlocked sim, (I think he means Verizon incredible 2) I would just like to find some newer hardware like the bionic.. or something made in late 2011 or early 2012.. but the information on bionic is it requires custom roms or certain configurations to run on either platform (aka it's not like you can just do a sim swap)
[HTC Droid DNA] Dave12308:
This. Stupid stock Verizon ROM uses an APN whitelist, the MMS apn type is not included since it is not needed on Verizon's network.

I recommend the NOS M7 ROM or the NOS Google Play Edition ROM, both have a GSM base and work much better on GSM carriers.

The DNA may be fully SIM unlocked out of the box, unfortunately; the stock OS ruins some of the fun.

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

Isn't the GSM version ALSO going to get HSPA+?

You'd need a version that supports T-Mobile's LTE frequencies to do better than HSPA+
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
I get 1900mhz hspap on an att SIM with my droid Dna on a gsm Rom everything works great

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pteer Griffin:
I noticed I have to press the power button a certain way in order for the screen to come on. I only had the Nexus 4 for 8 months. Should I RMA it or is there a fix available? I'm using Gravity Screen now (which works awesome). Also, I have a dbrand vinyl stuck to the back of the phone. I'm guessing I have to remove that first before shipping it out? What are the chances that Google would send me a new one since it's sold out on both the US and Canadian stores.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] straycat73:
I have:

- .200 stock

- UB

- root

- custom kernel with CWM + TWRP

I want:

- .96 stock

- root

- CWM (TWRP optional)

What is the easiest way to get it?

Thank you very much in advance for your kind help :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kumbangdesa:
Flash STOCK .96 using flashtool

Then have a look at THIS thread friend..:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
As the person above has said, you can first flash a ftf file of .96 with Flashtool, but you don't need to follow that rooting procedure since your bootloader is unlocked. All you have to do, is flash Doomkernel V6 and then flash this zip in recovery - http://d-h.st/M10
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kumbangdesa:
Sorry..Didn't notice you had UB..:o
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] straycat73:
Thank you very much for your kind reply!

After reading your reply I wonder, if the following method is possible?

1) flash Doomkernel V6 in CWM

2) reboot

3) flash .96 also in CWM

...I try to avoid using Flashtool because I'm always geting troubles with drivers... :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Yes, that will also work.:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toleraen:
I've got an issue I've wondered if anyone's seen. Every time I save an image through Chrome (or Chrome Beta) with a TW based rom, the image doesn't show up in the gallery until (i assume) the media storage process rescans and picks it up. Opening the image in Root Explorer shows the picture, but doesn't allow it to be shared via any app.

Using the built in browser to save images makes them show up immediately. Also, I don't see this when using AOSP based roms. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adam0524:
Ive had the same issue too. Pretty annoying since I prefer chrome over other browsers. I looked for a solution a while back but couldnt find one but found people with the same issue.

I have used this type of holster for years, even B4 I got my GNote 1 and 2. And I believe the one I have been using for my GNote 2 will be a perfect fit for my GNote 3 (when I get it).

It's a nice holster but it's slow to grab the phone with one hand and immediately remove it or place it back in one motion, which is what I prefer. I have a plastic holster for my S3 on my belt which allows me to grab it in one motion and put it back in one motion.

Not cheap but is as form fitting as you'll hope to find so if the phone and holster fall together it provides protection. I've used the same holster on my past five phones and am getting one for the N3.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AJ_MARSHALL:
Nice
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
Not what I meant

If you want your phone to go from stored in a protected manner to in your hand for use in less than one second... none of the solutions anyone is talking about work. am talking about a belt holster for the Note III which allows you to quickly snap it out and back in again, facing in towards a layer of felt or such. (Facing out would slow you down as well as being non-protective - you would have to turn it around in your hand every time you take it out of the holster and the screen would be exposed and vulnerable to damage).

Does this make sense? Anybody have any ideas?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
So how does that let you have the phone at your fingertips with a single sweeping motion? Or put it away with just a click? Nobody has any plastic or metal snap - in snap - out belt mounted holsters?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] billf2b:
Based on past experience do you think this holster will fit an N3 with either a TPU case of the Spigen Neo Hybrid one? It looks like a great holster.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
So the bottom line to this thread so far is, nobody knows of the kind of holster I previously have been discussing when I started this thread...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] billf2b:
I too will probably go with the Seidio Surface holster, since I expect it to hold the N3 with a case. With my GNex I used the Surface holster with a TPU case, the Seidio Extended battery, and even the Zero Lemon battery. Unfortunately I've popped the clip on four of these holsters, so I wish there was a better solution.

[G2 General] lazarus2297:
I for one am blown away by the battery life on this phone.. i know the battery is bigger than my DNA's battery but my latest battery cycle stats are:

I am currently at 13%.. 37 hours and 40 mins (projected to get 3+ hours till dead) with 3hr 52min screen on time.. (I did charge in my car for 10mins today) I can't remember the last phone I had that lasted more then one day without having to charge it.. oh wait i can it was my Motorola e815... 6 years ago. I still use my wireless charger to fully charge the phone

I really haven't found anything I dislike yet other than the ridiculous power/vol button placement but I am sure "eventually" I will get used to it.. I am not a big fan of the shiny/slick back but a slim matte case can easily fix that.
