Why would u place your phone upside down in the case?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Just wanted to check what happens & some weird sh*t did happen, so please guys contribute with results.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
Yeah it is really weird... Chk if this problem persists without the case or not... And if everything is OK then the best advice which I can give u is simply dont play with ur device in such weird ways... Anyways what did u want to chk by putting ur phone in the case upside down? How did this brilliant idea strike ur mind? :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
It works fine normally.

And i placed it upside down to see how the phone fits in the case that way, since it's a flexible TPU material. There is no brillience involved even you would come up with something like this on on a lazy summer day :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
Only soln. according 2 me is don't put ur phone upside down... Waiting for other members for their verdict...

Hello everyone. Posting in Xda after such a long time. Need your help. Got my Note 3 less than a month back, Indian exynos version, Rooted with latest official firmware.

Lately I've been seeing that the screen won't timeout randomly. A reboot will generally solve the issue but after some time it would reappear. I've searched the net for the whole day but couldn't find a proper solution yet. This happens no matter if the smart stay is on or off.

Planning for a factory reset and re-installation of apps but before that I thought I would seek advice form the experts and experienced here :☺

Please help me.

Galaxy s5 launch price 51 53 k

wonder where Samsung is going with this..

we will see note 4 touching 60k probably... international version cost abt 660 700 usd...

sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thelostlegend:
so s5 has exynos processor which runs at 1.9 Ghz and all eight cores so this has to be 5420 and not 5422 since 5422 runs at 2.1 ghz , so basically s5 has 5420 with hmp ??

Hi all

Hi all, i got a mail from kaunsaoffers.com . Check out this http://emaila.kaunsaoffers.com/kaunsaoffers/vm.php?m=349&u=179309c8e9faa86ce0baa47c4ab2b362.

Note 3 just at 9000/- . Guess this one is fake

[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
Yeah... i do see a Gold Note 3 worth Rs.9999 on this site... Perhaps it is a trap... I think it is the Mediatek CPU based Note 3 copy... Looks and feel everything is same.... Except that it has 1 gb RAM and 720p display... Also it has a Mediatek processor.

Its not the original Note 3. It is a fake Samsung...

---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

Also it has LCD display and not Super AMOLED...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ritesh_chanchal:
oh.. now saw RAM on the specs.. It says only 1 gb.. With note 3 features, 1gb ram is very very less.. Really its trap..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
This site is selling this device by calling it original.... This is wrong.... I got to know abt the Mediatek based Note 3 a long time before when I saw it on eBay... But eBay doesn't lie to its customers... It was clearly written on eBay that it is not Samsung manufactured Note 3 but a Taiwan based copy of that...

So, any online site must be transparent to its customers...

It seems so great to see so many indian brothers! especially fan of [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] , I am always late to the party! I keep visiting this thread just to read all of your's comments, problems and info. only God knows when I will retire my note n7000 to SM-N900..

btw guys is their any way to root N900 without tripping knox... i want to run dr.ketan's ROM!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
No way for N900 till date to root without tripping Knox flag...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NoteboyTech:
That means everyone has voided their warranty permanently? Well, I think l should stay away from root for now?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
Anybody who has rooted or flashed a custom ROM can kiss their warranty goodbye. Permanently.

And I expect all Samsung Android phones to eventually come equipped this e-fuse.

A person in Samsung that I know had given a hint of these anti root measures about a month before the N3 was released. And I said it's only a matter of time before someone cracks it. He smiled mysteriously and said "let's see" . He was right.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vijai2011:

Hi all

I feel really bad when i see article comparing note 3 and galaxy s5 , and the article concludes s5 as better (except s-pen and RAM).. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
Wait for 6 months.... Note 4 will be better than S5....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
it's human nature, we always feel lacking for what we don't own and never value what we are having.

Just look on thread around and ppl are dying for air command to work on their device. :) S5 may have some new things but most of them will be just software related (OR say UI) and will be ported very soon by devloper here to other devices.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
Is s5 fingerprint a software or hardware upgrade? Is it same like iPhone 5s? If software upgrade then can it be ported to our Note 3...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
it will be likely hardware + SW
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
Perhaps I will wait for Note 4 rather than going for S5...

Same way goes for iPhone 6 ... I think I should have waited for it rather than buying 5s.... It has nothing much over iPhone 5 ... just bought it for fingerprint...

Not going to commit the same blunder with S5...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
I am using note since note 1 and never impressed with s series later. (except started using Android with s1) will surely keep holding note.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ritesh_chanchal:
Fingerprint is entirely hardware.. And even some of the camera feature cant be ported since it is hardware dependent.. So in these dept, note 3 is behind s5.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
It's quite obvious that manufacturers will launch upgraded devices... But that doesn't mean that every upgraded device is better than the last one in every aspect... S5 price tag is 51k-53k in India... This is just because Samsung is trying to compete with apple in terms of price range... Looking at the specs of S5 it doesn't deserve this hefty price tag for such minor upgrades over Note 3...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vijai2011:
No sview/flip covers. And slim armour looks too simple to me. Already have neo hybrid. So looking for something better than current one
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ritesh_chanchal:
Hi all

Dear all, how many of you own galaxy wear? Is it really worth ? Because i am planning to buy gear 2. So my main concern is that , is gear 2 really worth buying , considering its prize( around 21k ~22 k INR)?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vijai2011:
I'm personally waiting for some nice android wear based device. Motorola will be releasing it's moto 360 this summer in USA
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ritesh_chanchal:
will it be compatible with note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vijai2011:
It should be compatible with all android phones. And the documentation and avd image is already out for developers. Looks promising to me
[Galaxy Note 3 General] n4speed2:
Can we Expect the New TouchwiZ UI which is currently there on the Galaxy S5 to come on our Note 3 and i am waiting for Ultra Power Saving Mode.The New UI and features will give a new feel to our already existing Device

Awesome News!

http://youmobile.org/forum/samsung-...laxy-note-4-going-to-have-a-20-mp-camera/new/

Check this for Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rakeshishere:
Note 4= S5 design and internals(3GB Ram ofc) with stylus. Doubt they would upgrade the camera
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
S5 can't compete with Note 4.... The built and design quality of Note Series is far better than S Series... And Note 4 would be HMP Hexacore and not Octa... Also it would be having 4 gb RAM because Samsung unveiled its 4gb RAM in 2013 itself... Also it would be running a 20 nm 64 bit CPU architecture.... And 20.7 mp camera with OIS is quite confirmed... Also IP67 certified waterproofing... And 2560*1600 QHD display... And fingerprint scanner in the home button itself...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ritesh_chanchal:
Ya heard about all these.. But what i didn't hear is any news regarding s-pen/stylus software stuff.. i think there will not be any major upgrade in air command or any stylus related app
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
It is too early to speculate upgrade of software stuffs at this point of time... Definitely it will be upgraded... Afterall leaks and rumors are generally for the bigger dimensions i.e. Hardware and styling...

please let me know ASAP

[Galaxy Note 3 General] js2892:
Hi guys i just got a note 3 and I'm facing a problem.

Whenever I do a contact search it doesn't show contacts with phone numbers but shows only synced contacts(facebook,whatsapp etc)

But if I find contacts manually by scrolling or from A-Z line on the right, I can find the contacts with numbers.

This is kind of a weird problem.

Anyone faced this? Solution?

My phone is not rooted and updated to latest firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NoteboyTech:
Go to contacts app and then there you would have the option of contacts only with phones.. tick that and then search..

Hit thanks please
[Galaxy Note 3 General] js2892:
I already did that but didn't help. Contacts with no numbers don't show normally but whenever i do a search they pop up.

Never mind, I deleted all contacts, restored them and stopped sync. Everything's normal now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drift_amit:
Bought it, it's awesome
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ilordvader:
I have a friend also having same problem

he has like 5000 contacts & he cant search them

Does he have to sync contacts with gmail & then only it will showup ??

he also has a iPhone & and says doesn't face this proble there :(

or this there a thread for this issue for people who have many contacts ?

Please help

Another query,

Have you ever tried unpacking and repacking samsung tar.md5 firmware files ?

I replace the stock boot.img with insecure one (default.prop>ro.debug.secure=0) and stock recovery.img with TWRP-recovery.img and repack with [TOOL] TAR.MD5 PACKAGER.

The repacked tar.md5 is 1.94 GB where as the original is 1.25 GB

I flash it anyway thru odin.

When phone boots thru first time i get an error " Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped " . Upon searching on XDA i found that this error is not correctable and I have to replace it with any other keyboard from play store.

I know there are pre-rooted firmwares available on the forum but i want to make it myself.

Is there any other way to repack the tar.md5 files so that i do not get the error ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
You want to make prerooted then you have to unpack system.img and have to add root files. No meaning to repack with cwm, BTW since note3 there is no much role of prerooted there, bcoz flashing such rom also voids warranty and no meaning to make exercise.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iamsuperuser:
Okay, I see many roms for Notes ,I mean zips.

I'm trying to make one of my own but can't seem to get the symlinks & set_metadata right

I tried searching for kitchens but there are none that fully support SM-N900 for KitKat 4.4.2

I've used Dr. ketan's Rom many times, how do you get symlinks & set_metadata right ?

what tool do you use ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Use disxda kitchen
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iamsuperuser:
I always used that, but nobody updated it for kitkat.

I had to edit some scripts to change root, busy box and deodex processes.

The update binary it uses is outdated , symlinks are outdated and uses set_perm instead of set_metadata.

Even set_perm are easy but symlinks are really hard to get them right.

I would really like your help on this if you could.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] i9100g user:
S5 also has HMP and no I don't think note 4 would have 64 bit or 4gb ram

,again a octa core is enough ,no hex core or something?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vijai2011:
Octa=8 and hexa=6. Always note series would be a update to s4 hardware. Seeing that, it could have a octa with high clock speed and may be a bigger ram too. Even 64 bit is possible.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] js2892:
Snapdragon's 808/810 are 64 bit. It is highly likely note 4 will get this SOC. The next-gen Exynos may or may not be 64 bit.

Bought black one for 49990 with Note3 official pouch. Pouch will be given in Oct.

The MRP was 50650. Manufactured in Vietnam.

Applied note2 clear glossy screen guard. It fits in perfectly.

I inserted my sim card. There was no spring lock feel. It just went in and sit there. Couldn't find a way to remove it.

Same for micro sd card too. But it was 50% outside and I can remove it.

My short review :

1. Its an Octa core 1.9ghz.

2. Phone doesn't get heated up during normal operation.

3. When I inserted my extSDcard Samsung Index service started kicking in. It heated the top of the phone. Little bit more hotter than any other qualcomm phones. But definitely better than S4

4. Had to kill media process repeatedly to stop the index service and scanner.

5. Then ran Antutu. OMG it scored 34413 points !!!! Didn't heat up much. Very acceptable heat. Great score. 3D graphics score is 10431!!!

More surprisingly CPU only reached a max of 1.7 GHz speed during cpu benchmarking!

My One scored a mere 4991.

6. Black one feels very premium.

7. Touch wiz is considerably better.

8. Even though User available ram is 2.6GB, on boot I get only 800MB to 1GB. Acceptable.

9. User available internal sd space is 25GB.

10. Screen is ultimate offcourse.

11. Very light and easy to handle compared to Note2.

12. Noticed in cpuz that the clock speeds of all 4 cores are same all the time. That means if A15 cluster is active then all the cores in that cluster are at the same state and speed.

13. First time opening contacts and phone takes 2 seconds. The next time onwards it's instantaneous.

14. Headphone audio, camera, loudspeaker audio reviews coming soon...

[MENTION=4124536]sachinaik[/MENTION] Check whether you have option for smooth motion in video recording mode. This one is for 1080p 60fps mode. Also check whether the slow motion is done in 720p.

How loud is the speaker compared to Note2 ? Any shutter lag in camera ? Play some heavy duty game & check the heating.

Any idea whether core migration is working in Note3 or its same old cluster migration mode of S4 octa ?

No idea how to confirm this as I don't own S4 ? Maybe try an app called Perfmon. Guys pls suggest ways to check if core migration mode is working in note3 ..

Guys samsung is releasing phones with ridiculously high price tags. I bought note 1@32.5k, note 2 @38.5k and note 3 @47k.. everyday sammy is increasing the prices of their phones. Don't let this happen. Sammy has already slashed the price of s5 by 1k for under whelming sales. The price will go down further in coming weeks. Look at Sony. . They released z1 at a reasonable price and with free goodies. Sammy offered nothing with note 3. Not even a paid game for free..They offered $50 /25 gift cards to usa customers and nothing for us..

After pricing s5 at 51k.. They will price note 4 at 60k.. dont let this happen. . Dont buy their flagship this time. . Wait for note 4 and buy that if they price that phone reasonably. Otherwise buy nexus 6..lg g3.. Sony z3.. whatever will be available at that time. . Once we didn't have nexus devices. . Now Google is releasing them in India. . Moto is releasing its hit phones in India too.. dont rely blindly on Samsung anymore. .I was a fanboy too.. Still I'm. . But this time I won't rely on sammy blindly. .

Teach them a lesson.. If they get a bad response and cant sale many flagships. . They will price note 4 reasonably. . And probably they will use standard processors as well. . So that we can get more dev support. .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] anmolbedi:
Well it's only because of the competition they came with citibank offer of flat 20% cash back. Effectively is for 40k which is decent price considering note 3 expensive than s5. Moreover s5 has water and dust resistance which note 3 doesn't.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cellfrens:
not everyone has the "citi bank" credit card..otherwise @40k it would have been a good price..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] anmolbedi:
I agree and just for that matter I bought it at 40k after cash back.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] js2892:
Completely support your reasoning.

51k is completely ridiculous pricing. They are just trying to match iPhone pricing.

I find htc one and xperia z2 much better. Atleast they come with snapdragon.

Samsung is biasing the indian market but soon it will blow on their face.
