I also checked my sis-in-law's S4 (India model), it doesn't have the Knox counter when set to download mode. The S4 has the latest official ROM and is not rooted. I'd love to see a screen shot of an India specific handset that has this Knox counter. I wonder if they skipped this in India. ;)

I am not sure if this will see the light of day in any N3 variant. May be the S5 and N4 next year. Samsung is not going to play an Ace in their hand just yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] HS™:
Correct its not there and no one knows surely but ya if its hidden no idea
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pd1985:
The link you posted was of 10 sept 2013 , they did not know at that time that samsung would release note 3 exynos on 25 th sept and not October

It's also written that the chip to use the hmp would be exynos 5420 , note 3 has 5420 chip , not like s4 that has the previous generation 5410

The only issue we should be concerned about is the heating ,if we do get hmp update for note 3. Already without hmp the note 3 exynos tends to heat up with some intensive apps and gaming , what would happen once hmp would all to use all eight cores together, if extensive grafical intensive apps ,games would be played that would use more cores wouldn't the phone heat up to the extreme.....

Checkout the igyaan video on youtube , it shows the knox software running very successfully on note 3 exynos octa
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kannanX10:
for s4 u can notice knox app in app manager
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharp-Razr:
It's there in the Note 3 as well. I haven't installed it.

Official Accessories available now ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rl421403:
Yes, in S4 it's not there (right now). Flash counter is hidden and I read it somewhere that knox will be added to exynos models in next update. So probably knox counter will also be added to S4 this month.

Sammobile also pointed out that region lock will be added to S3, S4, Note 2 with Android 4.4 update. Hopefully Asian models of these phones will be excluded for time being.

Anyone facing note 3 heating up while using browser , email and whatsapp together
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ketani73:
Using this techno-monster since 28th September , i don't play games on my device & so i don't know if that causes it to heat but during normal usage i have not experienced any heating as of now !!

As a matter of fact i am very impressed with my Note 3 performance !! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Does the Exynos version come with a NFC battery ? it was standard for the S800 version

Also how is Reliance for Call quality, internet service & customer service in mumbai & does the quality drop while roaming to a village or another city ? i am interested in reliance 3G, it would be great if people here give their review especially the ones from mumbai

Do things like giving someone else your number while it's in your use happen with reliance ? my brother had such a issue with another operator & he said another guy had the same issue when he visited that operators customer care store
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Chalao:
Could you please give details about where you bought it and if it´s the n9000 or n9005.

Any region lock sticker on it?

Thanks!

I have not bought it, i am getting the Snapdragon 800 version from Singapore . Few friends bought it & this is with Bill & no region Lock sticker . Go to Ghaffar Market ( Karol Bagh ) & u should get a good deal .

Samsung's phone heat

I have read a review on a site called Mobile jury. They say that ever Samsung mobile has heating problem. Checkout the review. It is very helpful.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pd1985:
Hey just read the review but they are using the snapdragon version,not the exynos octacore one .

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

As far as indian version is concerned ie: sm 900 it's not region locked

http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/asian-samsung-galaxy-note-3-will-not-be-region-locked-30-04-2013/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] krooksrocks:
Yes it has not on battery
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pd1985:
Yes exynos version comes with nfc battery

Reliance is good but for in city use vodafone is the best , outside cities , reliance does work like a charm, customer service of reliance sucks , for 3G usage I would say till date vodafone is the best ,

About number issues , don't know much about reliance but if you directly go to a operators gallery and purchase such things do not happen.

Example : if you buy a sim from vodafone gallery itself , the documents are verified correctly and the sim is registered in the correct name itself,

If you purchase from other dealers they might tend to mix up your docs which might create a confusion.

If you feel this has helped do thank.

No Octa Core For NOTE 3 or S4. What Samsung Want. We Forget them (cough**Win8**cough) :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rakeshishere:
After been a loyal Samsung user for years, I'm bit disappointed with them with Release of unfinished Exynos Octa SOC, Regional locking, Lack of providing Exynos Source code, Sudden Death Issue, Super Brick fiasco.

Only if there was an another OEM who would provide removable battery and SD card option. I wouldn't even think twice to switch and leave Samsung in spite of me recommending them to everyone whom I know by word of mouth.

Time to vote with your wallet and hate Samsung's audacity to not release Snapdragon variant though showing a demo model to consumer in every smart cafe fooling the buyer
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
Yes, i agree, Octa Core is suspect, as it is untested....but it may turn good, but it has some issues in the present form . INDIA deserved better .

Samsung could have done much better by releasing the $G version here, since we r on the brink of 4 G .I have read some posts that SD800 would have been super expensive, so this to dispel this - Octa & SD800 r priced very similar in countries selling both versions .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NaveenKumarXDA:
Great Said. Thats why I got LG G Pro but LG here s*ck* at Updates big time. But thankfully have MMC option & Removal battery.

Getting snapdragon version from sg will it work in india ? i been thinking to get one from there as well
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
Yes, it would . It is Dual Mode LTE & has all the frequencies . Checked & cross checked this .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] [A|iENN]:
ok thanks for the confirmation then its better to get snapdragon version from sg as octa seems to have lots of issues hope u get yours soon :)

Hmp cancelled

Hmp cancelled for gn3 but it was expected..samsung will save that feature for their future flagships i think..but gn3 is still powerful without hmp. The gpu is also very powerful and the overheating problem is very minimal and almost non existent..

Some tips for that matter:

If you are playing high graphics game decrease the speaker volume

don't play need for speed most wanted & dead space (lol)

switch off the capacitive light keys(it also saves some battery)

use 1tap cache cleaner and clean cache

restart the device atleast once a day

s4 is the device which had a very serious overheating issue(i think now it has ben solved through software updates)..it used to overheat in stand-by mode also..but the newer exynos 5420 is much advanced and what you have is normal heating..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] [A|iENN]:
Cool good luck will get mine in a week i think :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
Great, u can currently get it for SD 930 . If u have the time, maybe u can get a better deal .

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
One of my relatives bought SD800 from Australia about 3-4 days back & he is loving it . He had earlier bought the Exynos version from India on 25th Sept. ( now that goes to his wife ) & as per him SD 800 is absolutely the winner & Octa Core stands nowhere in comparison in real life usage .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] [A|iENN]:
Well reading the issues octa giving not yet stable might take time for fix and also overheating yes i will always go for SD800 friend already baught octa and he is facing over heating issues
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pd1985:
Snapdragon really a success!!!!!

Do please let me know if

1.samsung warranty is given on note 3 9005 snapdragon here in india ( if yes is it applicable here )

2. What if we get software updates on the phone , can we upgrade it because the updates released in india would be for the exynos one ,

If we would upgrade them wouldn't they crash because of the wrong device.

3. What if the sd800 version is region locked , will it support indian 3G sims

Anyone before purchasing the snapdragon version , please look and have an answer to these questions and if you have the answer do let me know also

Do thank if it's useful to you
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cellfrens:
you don't have 4g sim in india.,.only the 4k is the main difference from sd800..what else you found that is sooooo different form the exynos version?? theres no lag in exynos version..and all the other hardware and software things are same..

p.s.-i don't have any overheating issue!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
I know of 3 guys who bought Exynos & shifted form Note 2. All 3 r facing severe overheating issues ( they all love to play games ), Low battery life as compared to Note 2 ( about 20-25 % lower Battery ), some Lags . Exynos is missing 4K recording , has a poorer set of speakers, has low battery life as compared to SD 800 & is SD is much smoother in real life usage, as per guys who have used both versions .

India is on the verge of 4G ( at least in major Metros ) & 4 G should be a reality 6 months to max. one year . I would not like to throw my Note 3 after about 6 months or so .

For me, missing 4G, overheating/lags & battery life r game turners & that is why i am buying SD800 . 4K is not important & more of a stunt for me .

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

1. No warranty & that is a big negative . Indian warranty is s*it is a different matter .

2 . Updates would be OTA . SD800 would have different updates than Exynos & both r not interchangeable . If u try interchanging, u would brick your set .

3 . Asian SD is not region Locked . Check on the web . It definitely supports Indian 3G sims . People r already using it . It would also support Indian LTE which is FDD 2600 .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pd1985:
Ok then it seems note 3 sd800 is the way to go .

So will the ota update for the phones select the updates automatically according to the device no , or would we have to check out whether the update is for sd800 or exynos and then install them
[Galaxy Note 3 General] coolmaddy007:
official price drop Samsung India Exynos

Another price cut by Sammy..Exynos version available at Samsung India estore for 47900..

if anyone is interested..Check Here

Sammy also released a dual sim Note 3 in China running on SD800..it might be coming to India too..or we can import it from China as there is no region lock issue on it..Check Here

So guys jumping onto buy SD800, hold on the reins for some more days..we might see a dual sim SD800 in india..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
U would need to root the Chinese version, otherwise, no Google play & many more restrictions .

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

It is auto, u don't have to do anything . Updates meant for SD will not show up for Octa & vice versa .

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

Price is going to be about 41K ( the market price, after all the discounts, it is around 44K now )near Diwali & u could see the release of SD version at that time for around 50 K .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rvleo141:
Sorry to say bro ...but i hope ur frnds bought the "ORIGINAL" Note 3 exynos version. You are mentioning some absurd thing about it. Ibought it a week back and its working like charm.No lag , excellent battery life and i play all the games, NOVA works on it as well.Practically i have played all the heavy games.My previous phone was HTC One and i have experienced the best sound and even after that i would say Note 3 sound was almost as par with it plus its quite crystal clear. It matches HTC one on each front.

I had the option to buy the SD800 but still i prefer it because it was other way round. My friend who bought the SD800 said that his device lag more than often.

Seriously after spending one week , i am literally satisfied with my Note 3, now i am just looking for S-view Cover :laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
I hope Samsung India is selling the ORIGINAL EXYNOS version, since they bought them from Sammy Stores .

On overheating & host of other issues with Exynos, check the web, it is full of such issues, so i am not being absurd, but stating facts . Good to hear that u r not having any issues . U could be one of the Lucky one's or maybe u should cross check, whether u have an ORIGINAL one or not .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] anandpo:
Looks like [MENTION=5452323]Manojas[/MENTION] has gone too far to justify his purchase SD note 3 from Singapore. Secondly, he is quoting his friends' version of opinion about exynos Note 3. Your opinion seems authentic as you yourself is using it.

Price for note 3 9005 sd 800

Can anyone tell me that what is the price of note 3 sd800 in india ( grey market ) also , if we get from singapore how much will it cost us approximately here in india ( in indian ₹)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
I have only one thing to say, check the web .

If u think, i am saying something incorrect, please ignore my posts, but don't accuse me . If u have facts to counter what i am saying, present them, otherwise simply accept the truth .

It is not available in Delhi yet & but would be shortly ( in 3-4 days ) at around 53-55 K . I heard that SD version is available in Mumbai & Chennai for about 52-53 K .

Yeah I expect the street price at launch to be around 45k.

Let's not forget that the rupee is at 63 today while it was around 55 at the launch of the both the Note 2 and GS4. That alone makes a difference of 5-6 k.

The issue is how fast prices will drop. The Note 2 held its price well but hopefully improved products from Sony, LG and Nokia will put more pressure on Samsung this time. I am hoping it will drop to 35 k in 6-8 months.

Stop the nonsense

using exynos version..no issues till now..no lag..no overheating..perfect handset..whoever is telling that sd800 version is better..he is just spreading rumors as he doesn't have enough money to buy this awesome masterpiece..IF YOU NEED SD800 SO MUCH, JUST BUY LG G2 OR SONY Z1 MAN..I'm sick and tired of listening to your whining about SD 800..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
Stop making Personal comments

I could reply in equally silly terms that since u r stuck up with the Exynos, u r jealous of people getting the SD .

........btw, SD would be costlier than Exynos, so your argument of money is childish, silly/stupid & smells of somebody regretting his decision .

Just because u have Exynos, can we not debate on which is better .

If u feel uncomfortable because of the discussions, ignore them, but let the truth come out .

...........since u don't have facts on what u r trying to prove, stop making personal attacks . We r here to discuss & find out what is best for each of us . If u find the Exynos version of Note 3, the best for u, good for u, be happy with what u got, but don't force your decision on others & don't try to sweep the truth under the carpet, just because u get uncomfortable with certain facts .

atleast i have a gn3..you are telling everything based on your friend's review(if they even exist in reality lol)

you are misleading everyone..

you are just assuming that sd800 version is better.YOU CAN'T PROVE IT (except 4k)..you are the one creating baseless stories..not me!

moreover, most of us won't buy something from grey markets and from other countries as it will be risky..you never know if samsung will provide u with warranty or not..

I don't know why r u talking about "choice"..bcz in india samsung has only released octa core version..so if u want a proper device with bill and warranty..u have to buy the exynos version..

and pls don't talk about 4g..it will take atleast 1 year to get 4g in india..and b4 that many of us will change our phones..lol!

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

some ppl are trying to misguide everyone here..so that you buy sd800 versions from their grey market stores..don't fall for the trap..they are even saying sd 800 version is expensive that's why samsung didn't give us the sd800 version..thats another lie..look at sony xperia z ultra, sony z1, and lg g2..al of them have sd800..but gn3 is more expensive than those..

if you really want to buy sd800 version..wait and see if Samsung release that version in India ( but i don't think they will)..otherwise buy other devices which have sd800..but don't buy from grey markets(you can if u want to waste ur money, bcz therez a possibility u will get a "demo" device instead of an original one..
