[Galaxy Note 3 General] ketani73:
That may seem unnecessary to you but many will agree here with me that one of the standout features in Note 3 is it's 3 GB RAM & I personally feel at least 1 GB of RAM should remain free when no heavy RAM-EATING apps are installed...I have purchased NEXT LAUNCHER 3D but i am a little hesitant in installing it as it is a RAM-HOGGER !! :cool:

dont worry!

you can kill applications in task manager and you will get over 1 gb ram free..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sachinaik:
Just 2 hours ago when I was testing multiwindow 8 apps functionality, all 8 apps were active and 257MB was free.

Now I see that 742MB is free. I didnt reboot.

I do agree that in S3 sammy really screwed up the multitasking.

But N3 is good.

At times it shows more than 1GB as available. If you want more then disable/uninstall some of the bkground running apps...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
Yes ofcourse.

You should download titanium backup to freeze system apps which are of no use, and use greenify to stop some apps from running in the background and waste battery and RAM.

I'm just not sure whether it'll work with Lollipop since the post is really old.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] constantine23:
Just follow the steps as Dr ketan mentioned in above post and u are good to go..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IODroids:
Harsh go ahead and do the needful as dr.ketan said in above post..

Rooting your mobile can be done in various ways, dr. suggested safest/quickest**/easiest way to do the same.

Power off your phone -

Hold volume down button + home button + power button together to goto download mode

Voume up to continue on warning message.

Open odin from your pc

Connect your mobile to pc

flash CWM recovery with pda/ap tab.. from this link http://d-h.st/ECF

Read more about this on CWM recovery - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1837605

Download the supersu file to your mobile http://download.chainfire.eu/740/Sup...erSU-v2.49.zip

again power off.

Then flash supersu zip from recovery console (Hold home buttom+ volume UP button + power button)

Goto install.zip (select the super su file) voila you are done..

Read more about this on CWM recovery - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1837605

Infact if you want to install dr.ketan rom, you dont need to install supersu.zip.

Just flash CWM recovery, select dr.ketan rom from install.zip (dr.ketan rom (zip format) should be on your mobile).

It will automatically root your mobile.

Hope this helps, I will say go ahead and try it.. if something wrong happens we are here :D

My first time, I bricked nearly 10+ times, but reading and posting here helped :cowboy:

Hello Guys,

I have Note3 SM-9005 in india I want to update it to official lolipop so can anyone help me?

Are you rooted?

If not, then simply connect to a wifi network and go in phone settings and about phone then software update.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rahul Dhobi:
Thanks for reply but I want to flash manually using odin or kies.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
I dont see a point in that, because there is no difference in flashing in both ways. It will make no difference in perfomance of the phone or anything else.

The best thing you can do, is just update the phone and format it.

I have Indian Note 3. N-900.

I am on Russian Lollipop Rom Duly updated OTA and now on Baseband N900XXUEBNL6 (Build Number LR21V.N900XXUEB0E3).

Rooted my note using http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=3713

After rooting, Knox counter got tripped and knox did not start.

Using this method http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-reset-knox-counter-kitkat-t2987388 , I have successfully reset the counter to 0x0.

My observations :

None of the flash go through fully, so don't worry. Keep flashing in the sequence given with Auto Reboot disabled.

After each flash, remove battery to turn off the phone and reinsert it and the go to download mode.

Knox Mode is also fully functional.

PS : Device Status shows : Custom. Hence, does not check for and download OTA updates. Kies shows it is the latest firmware.

Guys,

Any news for 5.1.1? I have some issues with 5.0 (including final update):

1. Wi-Fi needs to connect manually after turning off it.

2. Slow charging (No issue with KitKat [checked]).

3. High RAM usage.

4. Lags.

5. Lagging in games.

6. Heavy battery draining.

etc :(

Have you got any idea for 5.1.1 or M update?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Vishnu pv:
Don't know. I waited for long till yesterday, then I rooted. I don't understand why Samsung is delaying this update :( May be the release of Note 5 & S6 Edge+. Even Note 4, Grand prime, E5, E7, etc got 5.1.1 update. Bad luck for Note 3 & S5, they still stuck at 5.0 !!!:mad:

If we get 5.1.1 update, then developers can easily port S6, Note 5, S6 Edge+ roms etc etc...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
WTH note 4 seems obvious but the other 3 getting 5.1.1 and note 3 left in the cold is crazy ****.

Maybe this is why they are not updating. So we are force to buy new **** :/

Hello dr.ketan

My note 3 is also on baseband OB1 and built no OD1..so i suppose i can also root with these files..

One thing i want to ask..after flashing CWM can i take nandroid backup of stock unrooted firmware or nandroid backup needs root permission..

Plz reply sir as i have downloaded ur L23 and wanted to flash it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Yes it remain same.

Nandroid doesn't require root. You can backup uprooted current ROM.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lovekeshramawat:
I flashed the recovery first .the flash counter tripped to 0×1 but when i booted to recovery it was same stock.

I tried twice but no success..

Then i rooted my note3 with cf auto root and flashed recovery again and got the custom recovery there...

Well my intention was to get a backup of stock rom but still it is ok

Now my note 3 is on L23 with 390DPI and it looks amazing.

Thanks a lot for this amazing rom sir and every thing is working fine

One thing i wanna ask..where are the recorded calls stored ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
If you have used auto call record from Dr. Ketan utility then files will be there on IntSD/Sounds folder (crate manually if not there)

If you have used native (manual) call record then it will be on IntSD /Voice folder
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chappad singh:

hi

tried installing your rom dr ketan, but while installing getting some red coloured note some E:FOOT WRONG or E: SIGNATURE FAILED something like that but it gets installed not your rom but my original rom which i was having earlier....please guide...thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
You need custom recovery to flash custom ROM, It seems you flashing ROM with stock recovery.

Step by step guide already available in Changelog post of L24.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chappad singh:
thanks for your reply but i have flashed custom recovery from your post which is n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar

where i m going wrong...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Sometimes it doesn't get apply even odin say passed. Switch off device - reboot to download (Vol down +power +home) - Reflash cwm but uncheck Auto reboot option in Odin. Once passed, disconnect device - remove battery - reboot to recovery. Now you should have cwm.

The device is not rooted and all updates were OTA.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
After pressing the key for 8-10 times it works sometimes. Though i never see a instantaneous response like it had on kitkat. This for me is a unresolved samsung lollipop bug.

When i take it out it immediately shows the air command feature but not after ejection of S-Pen. For me it doesn't seem to work at all even after 8-10 times.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Try holding the spen near the screen, steady with support of 3 fingers & use the thumb to click the button for better grip. That is how i get it to work.

Hey.

I would be grateful if anybody could help me out.

I was on lollipop official rom on my indian note 3,then i flashed the cm12 beta,which recently started getting a lot of random reboots after an update.

I want to go back to kitkat as that is the only odin tar file i have on my laptop, i cant download the lollipop file from sammobile as the download speeds are dead slow.

So can i simply flash the kitkat file via odin without any extra steps and get it working?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
Yes, take a backup first and and click on the nand erase all option beacuse the device would not boot up with the apps installed from some other rom and also deactivate the reactivation lock if you are using it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ithehappy:
Guys could anyone suggest me a long micro USB cable (at least 6 ft) for Note 3? The stock one is too short! I mean a really high quality cable which will not drop the charging rate of 1800/1200 mA in comparison with stock cable.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
sorry I don't think that you can buy one which is so long and mantainh a good charging rate.

the best alternative is go on amazon.in and buy a Bandridge micro USB 2m cable. it will cost around 420 including delivery charges.

it is the best and the most tough and long lasting with a charging rate of 1800mA
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ithehappy:
LOL. I said 6 ft mate, you said 2 metres, which is 6.5 ft :laugh:

Anyway, I was doing a search myself and found a cable called Blue Rigger (http://www.amazon.in/BlueRigger-Sup...38YEA4KP&dpSrc=sims&dpST=_AC_UL160_SR160,160_), which seems to be good, but yes, Bandridge cables are great, I have one HDMI one and its excellently built. You are using one yourself right?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Can i use this cable for data transfer with my western digital my passport ultra 2.5 inch portable hard drive?

I had a capdice usb 2.0 cable which i used for data transfer but sometimes i used it to charge my phone via PC but that led to the cable stop recognising anything and dying out.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ithehappy:
I can't say man. Read the reviews, that should clear things up. I bought the Bandridge cable anyway.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Yeah note 3 users are complaining in the bluerigger reviews.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ithehappy:
Oh! That's bad then :(

Why there isn't a great quality USB cable available here anyway, where users won't have to think before buying when the cable will go kaput and all that, or we don't know where to look?

What all bloatware of Samsung can be removed from my galaxy note 3?

And what all Google bloatware can be removed from it?

I'm on 4.4.2 kitkat and rooted.. Is it worth upgrading to lollipop?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Only thing i like in lollipop is that the sunlight visibility is great & UI looks eye candy. Battery is down the drain bad, we are still on 5.0, hell rven my friend's xperia z got 5.0.2. So not that fun to be on lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ithehappy:
No comments about Exynos phones, but I absolutely love LP on my SD variant.

What might be bloat to you, might be a useful app to me. But still I only use Samsung's S Note (obviously, can't and won't live without it), Scrapbook, Voice Recorder, Gallery, S Health (sometimes). Anything else is bloat to me, especially that crap S Voice thing. For Google's, News Stand, Play Games, their Video service, Books or whatever, Play Music, all those are crap to me.

Use System app remover from Play to remove system apps, but I am sure you already know that.

Is there a new update on the cards it's been ages now since the last one.

Hi,

I have a SM-N900 Exoyns device. Whenever I flash any rom on it using a recovery (I have tried both CWM and TWRP) post flashing the phone doesn't turn on. I have tried CM12.1, Resurrection and Pekaka roms. Here are the steps I have tried.

1. Use Odin to first get Stock ROM

2. Boot phone up and transfer rom to the device

3. Install recover using Odin

4. Go to reocvery (CWM or TWRP) and install the zip (After formating /system and /data)

5. Reboot phone

I tried this with 3 custom roms and none seem to then boot up the phone. When the above process finishes and phone reboots I get the SM-N900 text and then when boot animation should come, nothing happens. The display is blank and stays that way.

I can however flash stock android using Odin as many times I want.

Any idea why the phone is behaving this way? Thanks

Yes, cynogenmod is available, also it's almost bug less. Although, you will lose all the spen features. ..it would work, but just like a normal stylus.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

1. Are you on stock kitkat or stock lollipop ?

2. The rom you are trying, are the based on kitkat or lollipop.

If both are different, then you need to flash additional bootloader of lollipop. If both are same...I am not sure what the issue is.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
I need a 64gb card that fully supports the note 3 ? And which can even work with any new phone i buy in future without any errors.

Please list all brands. And also tell me if a samsung evo+ 64gb with 80mb speed will support note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
You can get many on flipkart, I personally prefer samsung ones which have orange colour, and well about speed you won't ever be able to get those speed on your phone. You will hardly recieve max 18 mbps.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] drheart:
Hello fellas. I am having a note 3 N900 exynos variant which i had bought in dec 2013. I had rooted my fon and was going smoothly. I was fascinated by the charming looks of lollipop and i updated my os. All that glitters is not gold- the update literally taught me that. Very poor battery performance (100 to 0 in some 8 to 10h with screen time of 3h ,just moderate use with internet on. No gaming, no movies etc). I decided to buy a new battery thinking it will solve the issue and bought it online frm Amazon aftr reading all the reviews. I got the product today ans its much worse than my original battery. By 5h the battery is 38% !!. I am asking for a refund for the battery which does look original in its case ,serial no etc. Now i feel the major battery eater is lollipop itself and now i am thinking of going back to kitkat. I have a few questions, pls do answer them.

1. Can i revert back to kitkat like how i updated using odin and the firmware frm sammobiles ??

2. Will rooting the lollipop and installing greenify ,tb etc and removing the bloatwares help improve the battery life and reduce the ram usage ??

3. I would like to know wats the battery life of similar users with a 2yr old note 3

4. Please give detailed description of reverting back to kitkat ,things to be taken care not to brick the device

Tons of thanks in advance ☺
