[Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
every year? how do you go a year? I cant keep one for more then 6 months. Note 2 made it for 6 months i think but thats about the only one that ever has lol
[Galaxy Note 3 General] just_visiting:
I wish I could upgrade sooner every yr. It's not that I don't want to but I can't. If Samsung refreshes sooner than I would love too. My requirements are a big screen, removable battery (I carry 2 extra batteries), and ext. sd card. Only the Note line offers this. I had the Note 1 for 8 months and my current Note II for 10 months.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] physicsguymatt:
Damn. I've had my VZW GNex well over a year. Thanks to an active dev community it's still pretty snappy (LiquidSmooth ftw). Although I've been impatiently waiting for the Note 3 since the spring. Finally! Oct 10 can't come soon enough. I can't wait even to experience the huge jump in screen size, not to mention the speed/feature boost.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
why can't you upgrade more often?? And I never had the chance to use note 1 since Verizon didn't offer it. But loved my note 2! Bought day after it came out for $400 from some guy that wanted to go back to his iPhone cause note was big lol s3 to note 2 to s4 to Bionic lol then note 3

Wow I had that phone one day lol

I have been waiting too!! Can't believe I dropped $750 on a phone! And I've had almost every phone Verizon had the last year! S3, note 2, s4, DNA, and I think that's it lol

Note 3 hopefully will impress! The specs sure look like it will!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] inmnbob:
For me the final decision point will come down to the browser support and if text flow is installed . My S4 doesn't have it but the Note 2 and Note 8 do so I am hoping that the Note line stays consistent. I use the note 2 more for browsing the internet etc and the popup browser with text flow is really cool. Hope the Samsung doesn't go backwards.

The other factor that could get me to the note 3, even without text food, is how good the Gear is
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sleestax:
800 mhz LTE.

Also, better hardware and screen size.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WRrobby:
My reason would be that I jumped ship to a iPhone 5 last year when it released. I'm glad to be heading back to the Android train. iOS is a solid platform don't get me wrong, but it's just not for me even with it being jailbroken.

It's not real leather and it's ugly as Michelle Obama .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
i agree with this as much as i hate too. One of the few reviews said that it is hard and only looks nice. Was hoping for a more leather feel as well but i guess we will slap a case over it anyways so doesnt matter much!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackwolf10:
Real leather LOL it's a phone not a mercedes S-Class plus Obama might not be pretty but he is U.S.A's president which makes him like the highest person in the world right now :P

development on the SnapDragon 800 might even outmatch Nexus on both Custom stock and AOSP but the Exynos will only be good for custom stock Rom as always :/

or

http://www.samsung.com/note3/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
Thanks for the links. The microsite has pretty much confirmed for me that the N3 will not have wireless charging. If you hit the "& More" button, they show a charger cover and a Qi charging pad. There's no reason to have a charger cover if it's built into the device.

My top 3 reason to upgrade:

Sexy back

13MP camera

32gig storage.

and ofcourse multi window new stuff.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackwolf10:
Fell free to open a thread by that name :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chefb:
Why do you say this??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
It depends on your definition of "not." Out-of-the-box, you're right, the N3 doesn't support wireless charging. It’s got pins in its back that with the optional back panel with a coil in it allows it to fully support wireless charging. When I say "fully" there's s/w already in the ROM that detects when wireless charging's being used.

At its premium price I'd agree that that the coil-equipped back cover shouldn't be an add-on. But here's the good news. Assuming they're widely available (Samsung's wireless charging accessories for previous phones have been MIA or scarce) you'll be able to get a cheap ($40-50 back cover) and elegant OEM wireless charging solution rather than having to use funky Chinese-made parts of questionable quality.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aznpapaya:
I currently have a N2 and thinking of upgrading but the N3 kind of dissapointing. Anyone else holding out for the HTC One Max of Nexus 5?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zas311:
If you are disappointed by Note3, I am certain that you will be disappointed by One max even more.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] aznpapaya:
How so? Don't get me wrong I like the new N3 it's just that N3 didn't bring much except for better hardward. I'm acutally exicited for the Samsung watch and may pick one depening on how it perform.

A quick overview posted by gsmarena. The phone reached their office.

Sent from the New S Pen
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Because of the Synaptics overlay all the SGS4's Air Control features came over so even people that don't use S Pen can still control the N3 with gloves on and perform functions without having to touch the display. S Pen and S Note have been completely re-written and multitasking has been completely revamped with new options to open multiple apps as well as sharing information between them. The N3 also has all the SGS4's sensors so with BT LE finally available on Android companion h/w that works with S Health should grow exponentially along with other apps and h/w that can take advantage of the additional sensors. My Magazine is a more classy and flexible approach to personal feeds created for Samsung by FlipBoard. BlinkFeed was created for HTC by NewsRepublic and is woefully weak in terms of both integration and feed customization. It’s also forced on you whereas My Magazine’s accessible by swiping vs. cannibalizing a home screen. There's more but I'm tired of repeating everything that's already posted elsewhere in the forum.

What's going to be "new" on the Max? It won't have the "AB" version of S-800 so will be less powerful than the N3. The 4MP camera has gotten mixed reviews at best and, as shared above, its only saving grace (improved low-light performance) is broken. Zoe's are cool but proprietary which means you can only view them on the device or zoe.com. And as said above, BlinkFeed will be out-classed by what's being developed for Samsung by Flipboard. The One Max is going to be huge and heavy based on it dwarfing the One in pictures which itself is already bigger than the SGS4. It'll have a fixed battery smaller than the N3's but at least HTC's finally including expandable storage.

So the benefits are:

Metal construction

5.9" LCD display

Dual front-facing amplified speakers

A finger print scanner on the back of the device

You can buy the Mini+ to control functions on the Max without having to hold it.

And HTC's as close to dead as a tech company can be so add questionable support going forward based on what happens to HTC after an almost certain merger or acquisition. But like Saab, their diehard fans which get fewer with each passing year will follow them to their grave saying rumors of their demise are unfounded.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
The N3, by itself, does not support wireless charging. Just because you can buy an accessory at $40-50+ does not change the fact that if I pull the N3 out of its box, power it up, and put it on a Qi charging pad--nothing will happen. That's my definition of not.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Didn't I already say that? I also agreed that for the price the N3's going for the "optional" back cover should have been "standard." Nonetheless I'm glad it's available and I will make Samsung even more profitable by forking out additional money that we both agree should be unnecessary. Maybe they aren’t as dumb as we think they are. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aznpapaya:
Thanks for the input. I can see why you think the N3 is far more supperior then the HTC One Max. Guess I'll wait for all 3 device to be announced before deciding which one to upgrade to. I was also thinking of keeping my N2 and invest in a Samsung smart watch, but $300 for a watch if pretty steep especially when I have phone in my pocket that does all that plus more. I can always tape my phone to my wrist and save myself $300:p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thinkjoey:
I have not upgraded my phone in so long (On the Evo 4G)

I need an upgrade and wanted to get something that I would love

huge screen

fast CPU

3 gigs RAM

multitasking ability

I did not want to settle on the note 2 when all I had to do was wait a few months for the note 3. Super excited for the upgrade
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mb523:
I have so many questions, I don't know where to begin! Is the front of the phone the same leather-like texture as the back or is it smooth/shiny? The pictures I've seen all look different.

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 AM ----------

sorry. posted in the wrong thread, but at least in the right forum! Anyway, if anyone knows the answer to this question, that would be great! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jack143:
I read one of the specs, the Note 3 will have is Infared. U can use it to control your Tv, dvd player, etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackwolf10:
no big deal the answer is no

the front is textured plastic like in S4
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ReggieSmith:
The wireless charging "coil" is almost always built into the back cover of the device to get it as close to the edge as possible. As long as the phone has the contacts in place you are good.

I was pleasantly surprised when my LG OG pro arrived with a wireless charging cover already on it when I opened the box. Your carrier could specify that they include it in their variant. I'll see when mine arrives on 10/1. If its not included, I'll order one for sure.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Namuna:
Oh GN3 how I love thee, let me count the ways...

* I think its reached the exact pinnacle of being a "phablet" at 5.7". I hate to say, but the 6.4" Sony Xperia Z Ultra broke the 6" barrier, and just might be too big.

* 5.7" with 1080p screen = dead sexy!

* SnapDragon 800 with Adreno 330! Now THAT'S how you drive that dead sexy screen!

* Ultra-thin Bezels for maximum screen real estate.

* Wireless Charging capable (Yeah, it should've been stock, but at least it's available as an upgrade).

* S Pen (I particularly like the functionality of being able to grab images from all types of different sources).

* IR for remote control options??? YES please!

Now here's some little-known capabilities:

* The Muku Shutte, a remote shutter for your Note's camera. (It ONLY works with certain Android phones, namingly the Galaxy line and the Note3 will likely be compatible).

* SDCard Reader for Android phones. Also have a limited Android Phone compatibilty list and the Note3 should also be compatible.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
I think the size is pretty amazing. Look at it compared to the Z1 and G2, yes it's bigger but it accomodates a pen, has a thicker display (inductive/Synaptics), and larger battery. Pretty impressive. Props to LG too for getting a 5.2" display in a smaller package than Sony did with the 5" display on the Z1.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackwolf10:
the note has a great size for a screen that big

the G2 because of on screen buttons is just like a 4.8 galaxy S3 screen because it takes space

Z1 and Z ultra tell us that sony needs to do some thinking about their phone sizes and with the Z ultra they just made a 6.4 tablet compared to the 6.3 galaxy mega it is much more managable
[Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
that sony is that big!?!?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mr. Perfect:
rom & battery life
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackwolf10:
yes the Z Ultra is like a tablet -_-

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Onemoa:
It will definitely be much better then you're S3's. Just like the Note 2's.

I know allot of Note 2 owner's that will just wait another 9 or 10 months and get the Note 4. But the Note 3 is still a decent upgrade from the Note 2. Not as much as Samsung is making it sound to be. Like the scrap book, the Note 2 has always had it. And with a update it would also collect metadata.

The windows you can open is also nice but something the Note 2 can do. Just not as easily. But with an update it would be just as good.

I would love the Note 3 but I just can't get it due to financial issues. My parents need all the help they can get and I would feel bad spending it on something I want when they need the money.

The Note 3 will be one hell of a powerhouse though. That's for sure. I just hope the Note 2 gets updated with all the Note 3, features and options. It's crazy that Samsung hasn't updated the Note 2 yet and it's been out for a year. I hope Samsung doesn't do the same with the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] StylishMafia:
Xperia has such big bezels? I mean..note and z1 same size is ridiculous.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackwolf10:
because of waterprof stuff the phone gets bigger
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Tonio78370:
Surely will jump from N2 to N5. Fed up with all the Samsung hassle.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aznpapaya:
Still on the fence, i'm waiting to see what Google brings with the N5. Hope it's good!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackwolf10:
i wouldnt even think of nexus 5 as a challenge to note 3 because basically the screen and stylos are irreplacable
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aznpapaya:
Most people says the selling point of hte Note 3 is the spec and the software. As for the stylus I hardly use it, stylus was for when we didn't have touch screen! I agree it does help and is useful sometime, but still prefer my fingers.

If you want a big screen I would get the mega 6.3/5.8 or wait for the HTC One Max, 5.9 inches. Thought the mega is not 1080p but I been using the Note 2 720p and I'm happy with it. Plus how many people buy and put a screen protector on they phone on day one, that screen protector will degrade the screen quality (how much depends on the type of screen protector).

This is why I'm still on the fence lol. Might wait and see if the Samasung watch price drop becuase might pick that up and keep my Note 2 and see what they bring next year.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jass4752:
Thanks fir the info
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackwolf10:
i guess i am the type of person that can't settle with anything beside touchwiz :D also mega is a cheap device hardware side of it is bad so the note 3 is the best option for me now

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Onemoa:
I wouldn't pre order the Note 3. Now that there is more news about the Samsung Galaxy F. You can see why, I just didn't want to be the leak.

But if Samsung does do what "people" say they might. I would hold off on the Note 3 pre order.

I'm not saying don't get one as I myself would love to have one. It's just I think it might be worth it to hold off for a little bit. Because if Samsung does indeed have another version. It would be worth the wait for those of you that need the best but can't afford to buy every new phone that is released.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung's the mobile device equivalent of a puppy mill. They are always going to be cranking out new devices. So far we have four new rumored devices and the N3's not even completely rolled out yet.

N3 Active in October

S-800 SGS4 for Asia and the EU

Some device (not necessarily a Note) with a flexible display in Korea in October

A premium metal device (Galaxy F) with unknown specs at some unknown time

I've been waiting for a N2 replacement for a year now. Maybe one of the above will be more appealing but the N3's available now. I pick "now" over "maybe." YMMV.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Onemoa:
Yeah I would love the Note 3 as well. I'm just saying it's crazy there is talk of a newer device to be released in Oct. Not saying a better device just newer.

If the rumors are right it will be a very high end device. It's just weird that Samsung is doing this. You could think they would keep the best for the Note 3 rather then releasing a device a month or two later with better specs.

I hope the rumors are wrong. Because that would change Samsung's roadmap big time. I think they should stay with premium once a year releases as far as there two flagship devices The Samsung Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S. Rather then mix it up more. But maybe it's just going to stay a rumor.

I would love the Note 3, believe me. I'm just watching out for the people that can only afford one flagship a year. I can't even get the Note 3 due to helping my parent's out. And I'm losing sleep big time, you have no idea..

Gratz that you can get the Note 3 though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] adventure_of_link:
I pre-ordered my N3 mainly for the bigger screen and I've always loved the Notes ever since I saw one last holiday season. I was half tempted to get one then but decided to wait on the GS4.

Hopefully the specs will be the same if not better than said GS4 (even coming with the IR Blaster as standard equipment). Additionally I hear Samsung is offering the N3 on Tmo with 32GB internal storage... either this is how Notes have always came as, or they finally listened to us customers after the GS4 was teased and launched. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Onemoa:
The specs are much better then the S4. The only thing I don't understand is why Samsung didn't upgrade the camera. The S4's camera is good but with the Note 3 being a big upgrade. You would think they would have used a better sensor maybe. And for sure used Optical Image Stabilization, mega pixels don't matter as much as the quality of the sensor. So 13 Mega Pixels is by far enough but optical image stabilization would make a good difference.

I hope I can somehow get the Note 3. It would really help me out right now.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] unclefab:
For some reasons the Smart Rotation feature is not enabled on our Grand, thank you very much samsung aka sam sucks.

But fear not my XDA friend, for Uncle Fab has made it available for you, right here and right now:silly:

This mod is for 4.1.2, but if someone wants it on 4.2.2 I can make it as well (in this case you'll have to upload 4.2.2 SecSettings.apk and framework-res.apk). You have to be rooted, and probably deodexed (although it may work on an odexed ROM, but since mine is deodexed I can't tell for sure).

DO A BACKUP, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING.

YOUR PHONE, YOUR RESPONSABILITY!

INSTALLATION:

Easy, download the attachment, flash it through CWMR or TWRP, clean cache and dalvik cache, reboot.

Open your settings, go to display and enable Smart Rotation.

Done!:D

Have a look at the 2 screenshots...

Where's the download link?
