the only reason I sold my note 3 today was Lack of aosp support and pathetic, laggy and outdated UI of samsung...got m8...difference in performance and UI refinement is night and day...bye bye samsung for ever

I pity them . they make such an amazing hardware with screen size but software is crap, why they have to mod the stock android UI soo much....just they should make their apps on top of stock android UI and sell phones no need to mod UI like 5 years back when android stock UI was ugly and functionless
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AndroidNoob22:
Hi, where and how much did you sell your note 3 for? even I am wanting to sell it for anything above 32k-35k or more if possible purchased in jan with original bill and box non rooted Knox intact screen protector applied since purchase with Sview cover on and 0 scratch totally mint condition, I am thinking to sell on ebay but can we ship mobile through couriers and how? I tried it last year but the courier company refused to ship mobile phones also can I get anything around 30k+ if I sell them back to Samsung (if such thing is possible) have any idea about it? thanks! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Vishwas_p13:
Yes you're right, being a Nokia user in the past it'd be difficult for me to adjust with Samsung and its touchwiz ui. Despite being a flagship phone Note 3 has got plastic back with a leather faux, they would've used some premium quality material. Apart from this the Samsung flagships fail to maintain their price once their sucessors are released. IPhone is great, just that I don't find its utility to me, I've used an iphone4 in the past loved everything apart from cameraBluetooth connectivity with other phones.

I wish some day in near future these phones will be sold as hardware only & we could install roms like we do linux /windows installation. :o

My unrooted note 3 is 6 mths old and now frequently rebooting at least once a day. I'm on 4.4.2. Thinking of shifting to ip6 when it's released. I'm not a modder but frequent these forums for other issues and a general look-in. My ecosystem is pretty much Mac & iPad and so ip is the missing piece.

"Network" Not Working Guys, really need help!

I used to flash VN-Rom and some times Dr. Ketan Rom in my SM-N900 and it always worked properly until last time.

After I flashed Dr.Ketan Rom my network stopped working. So immediately flashed stock rom via ODIN but even now my network isn't working!

Now as you know Our INU firmware version is DND1 and above ROMs use E3, and I think I noticed that ODEXED rom (Stock or custom) ain't working in my phone but DEODEXED ROMs are! :eek:

What to do man, please help me out here!:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
It has nothing to do with odexed/deodexed but if you have flashed vn rom v14 or 14.1 then you won't have network with any other rom. Have you read my latest rom Download section full or just ended with download links?

I have very well mentioned what to do if vn rom users have to flash other roms.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sambhavmathur:
I'm sorry sir I just downloaded and flashed ur ROM!:(

And now I have also lost my IMEI no. can you please tell me what I should do to get it back and what should I do to be able to use ur amazing ROM with network!

THANKS in advance!:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Have you flashed vn rom 14 or 14.1?

Do you have efs backup which you made before flashing vn rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sambhavmathur:
No I do not have any efs backup and I flashed VN ROM 14 in my SM-N900!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Now you have to flash ne1 modem everytime you flash any other rom than vn rom.

Follow this

1.Extract and Copy modem.bin from vn 14 to your IntSD root directory

2.Install my rom

3.Open Dr.Ketan utility - task - long press flash modem icon

4.Reboot

Now you will have network
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sambhavmathur:
But I have backup of VN rom 11! Which flashed and still there was no IMEI no. Available!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
just follow what i said and let me know if doesnt work. (FYI restoring nandroid can't restore modem)

if you want to have VN rom then flash VN 14 rom zip that will work
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sambhavmathur:
Thank you very much sir!

Can u pls tell What can I do to get back my IMEI No. and what is Best smart tools (BST)?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
That's I told you already. Only two ways to get it back

1.Restore EFS which you made before flashing VN 14 ROM - (That you don't have)

so only one possibility left is

2. use any other ROM and flash NE1 modem (available with VN 14 ROM) OR use VN 14ROM itself

My dear friends,

My Note 3 is the Indian version and bought in India via Flipkart just around launch. I want to change the language to English India, but I only see English US and English UK along with a few Indian languages. I'm 100% stock and not rooted. Is there any way to set my default language to English India? Thanks in advance.

With very warm regards and may peace be upon you,

There is no special English India available as device language. But in language and input under Voice search you can select English - then English India. (I think we needs in voice search only bcoz of different pronunciation)

Switch off all the 3 location services they eat battery, switch them On only when needed. Does that solve the problem if not then install battery doctor & run its wizard to find battery hungry apps.

Update not showing for me
[Galaxy Note 3 General] soumen.sam:
After installing the latest update:

# No Download booster at all. Most probably its for LTE version only.

# Notification bar expand feels like lag

# Wifi to mobile data auto switch if unstable option moved to wifi window from advance

# Kids mode and other few as shown before install.

# GPS icon change to map marker. In notification bar and panel.

# the most liking or disliking feature for few is: shutting down window with progress status popup when power off.

# Probably little changes when power on, didn’t see it carefully.

I read the N9005 improved the battery life for some people... Will have to wait and see if it's true
[Galaxy Note 3 General] soumen.sam:
What happened is when downloading the update my battery was at 38% and after all done it was at 18%. Only this surprise me as the whole process took max 20minutes. So I will keep my eye on the battery performance. So far it is giving average 1.5 days.

Note 3 Freezes and then restarts

Hi Guys,

I got a second hand Note 3 last month.

All was well for weeks time, after that my phone started freezing and then soft rebooting for no reason. This is happening everywhere in app when viewing notification bar, surfing everywhere.

does anyone have this issue, or does anyone have a resolution for the same.

Details :

I am on 4.4.2

build KOT49H:N900XXUDND1

rooted

added some Xposed tweaks to it.

Thanks in advance for all the support.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] soumen.sam:
For rooted device there could be many reason. I may not help in this. But still you can try a hard factory reset by three buttons (not form settings). Before that backup everything if you need any.

Looks for reasons, like after which apps installation this started. If you find any remove this 1st. Or if multiple apps, remove all and then see. Generally poor apps causes malfunction most of the time.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sheikhspeare:
Just checked for software update and none showing yet.

no update available

No update available..not even showing "try later" etc..are you using the Indian version of the note 3? the exynos version? or sd800 version?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] soumen.sam:
Mine is a pure indian one N900 version, of course exynos. You can try manually update from setting about. I hope you already know that. Auto update sometime delays few days.

If you do check manual update either it will show “you have latest version installed” or it will start downloading if new available.

I’ve never heard about sd800, whats that? If yours is a genuine one then definitely it should update. In india updates doesn’t depend on career (for GSM mostly) it comes from Samsung directly.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajat_delhi:
Check now. Update is now available OTA. It may not depend on carrier but may depend on location. Yesterday it wasn't available in delhi but today it is.

Galaxy Note 3 SM9005 repair availability?

Hi Folks.

I have run into a terrible situation. Please let me know where can I get this done.

I have Note 3 Snapdragon 800 version bought from London. Its just 3 months old. Yesterday accidentally it was exposed to some rain water.

I dried it up for a day but today when I start it everything works except for the volume up key.

It was behaving abnormally at first with the volume slider automatically appearing and increasing the volume. But now its totally dead.

Volume down works, but volume up key does not function at all. Though you can use the volume down key and then touch the slider to up the volume.

Just replacing the volume key circuit should work and worst case it might be the board.

Please let me know if its possible to repair this phone in India via Samsung or any other good authorized centers.

BTW i'm in bangalore.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
Try first to keep your phone in rice for 24 hours, if problems still exist, look for some other options.

Upgraded to Latest update, no major changes... Just that Location icon in drop down setting is changed. Samsung got so much bloatware now that for new bloatware they have added links to download (Kid's Mode)!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] soumen.sam:
We're both from kolkata, it should update at the same time, IF updates depends on location, which I don’t think so.

The good part for this update is it shows shut down progress. It would be great if this was showing ‘Closing applications’ like windows too.

Welcome. Congrats on your new update :D

Another noticeable changes with the new update:

# If the Screen is on and power goes below 15% it wont sounds like past. It just popups the low battery notification. I think if the screen is off then it will sound. Just saw this today.

# Battery performance feels slightly increase like 3 hours than earlier on average use.

# Anyone with the new update see any lag on the notification panel swipe down? Mine working smoothly but it feels like when pulling down the notification its slower than earlier.

Note 3 India update (no download booster)

I have Updated my phone.. but there is no download booster. Only got Knox, kids mode , camera video tour .. did any one got the download booster.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] js2892:
Download booster is only for LTE users.

Also noticed two things

-The icons in pull down notification(wifi, bt etc) have also gone under little bit modification. They are more sleek and colors look bright.

-The calculator apps is of s5. No major change except one button is now green instead of orange. Also calculation result appear in green color.

Used virtual tour and quite liked it but it has a limited use.

I think we may get more updates with new touchwiz ui elements in them.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mayank shekhar:
yes notification pull down is slow..... I'm wondering why Samsung did this?

Another Change...stock browser has a background now and some more changes.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sachinaik:
Download booster is available in S5 LTE-A 2560*1440 version.

This works with even 3G.

Samsung's features are inconsistant as always....

M not going to update my N3 anymore.

The updates from now onwards will start introducing bugs so we will be tricked into buying N4...

Same happened with updates of my N2 and S4 during the release of N3...

Has battery life improved?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajat_delhi:
Yes. Better than before. Yet early to comment though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] salilpune1:
Those who feel Exynos Note 3 has very few ROMs to flash and waiting for Note 4 for a change.. well.. think again :p

Note 4:

"It is expected that Samsung will use a 5.7-inch bendable display with QHD (1440x2560p) resolution, 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, 16MP camera and Android 4.4 (KitKat) in the Galaxy Note 4 variant that will hit 3G-dominant markets like India. Markets where 4G is more prevalent will get the Snapdragon 805 processor, while sharing other specifications."

Source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...ing-to-Galaxy-Note-4/articleshow/38355564.cms

So Samsung will be again selling Exynos variant in india it seems..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aayushjoshi:
Anyone who has the above info?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drarif69:
Even i don't get any lag with the nova launcher..but with the touchwiz i do..and the battery seems to be holding up better after the update..which is a good thing :) only downside is the lag on touchwiz

I regret updating my note 3 as well, the notification slider is slow. Is it still possible to root the phone after the latest update?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
Yes it is possible to root.

And no knox hopefully will not be tripped upon rooting but if you do flash a custom kernel or rom or earlier jb firmware it will indeed be tripped.

You can indeed make your phone remarkably fast and power efficient by usimg simple root apps like greenify and removing stock crapware.

Hit thanks if i helped.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MrH672:
Yeah bro..

Again Samsung have to made an OTA for Sview covers. Damm?
