Yes sir, standard and dynamic, on my phone both appear same. I also feel there's something wrong with my phone display. It is so sad, thay even high priced flag ship phones also having these type of issues.

Anyway u can see the attached images.

This one is of standard mode

This is dynamic mode

[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
There is a significant difference between the two modes!

However the Dynamic mode shot is out of focus (and to be quite honest both shots are pretty average, please use a tripod if the camera lacks OIS) but it's more than enough to notice only the red grin emoticon turning almost orange in Dynamic mode. Also the white is definitely cooler in the dynamic shot than on the standard one!

Just by looking at the photo I don't see any problem on the screen, sorry to say.

NOTE 3 (Rooted) Stock Lollipop Upgrade- help needed

Hi Guys, I'm from India. Can anyone tell me how i can upgrade my rooted note 3 n900 to 5.0. I have tried xda n google to find it, but all i can find was that the latest version is INU/INS N900XXUEBOC4, although can find the firmware for download anywhere. I just want to upgrade device to official stock 5.0 rom. HELP PLEASE.

The device is rooted right now and with official stock 4.4.2 n cmw recovery 6.0.5.0.

I have made no other changes in the device.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Snesco:
i am on the Russian oa6 is the Indian oc4 much better?

and whats the deference between inu and ins and which better?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
Indian version is definitely better. Mainly because it is the latest version. Mute option is also back. Ram usage is smooth.

Inu= Union territories

Ins=States.

Both are same, choose s if you are living in a state.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Snesco:
thanks for reply ..i live in egypt so will it make any difference if i install inu or ins?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
No it will not make any difference. Choose the latest build, i.e., the build dated 10th March.

How do i install MTP driver ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sharang:

Same happens with music player.Songs dont play ! Apps take loads of timr to install.Also the MTP connection fails to startup ! Is there any soln to fix that ? Or should i change my sdcard ? Help needed !

It seems LP 5.0 rom has some memory leak issue. I m using Kazakhstan latest LP build and phone's uptime is about 130hours. And cached process memory usage showing 2.1GB being used by system. RAM usage is LP is very bad
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
Not an issue for me..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] omer7:
Can u show a screenshot of cached processes too? And what's ur phone's total uptime?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
Phone uptime - 13 hrs since last charge. I'm a heavy user.

Can someone please confirm about any stability update in lollipop firmware of note 3 SM N900. Earlier I was on android 5 but have to revert back to Kitkat cause of the high ram usage and lack of stability in lollipop update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Vishnu pv:
Another update came with 91 MB few weeks back, its stability update. The ram usage seems to be same, but the heating issue solved. Battery usage same as earlier. I switched to kitkat yesterday due to the poor battery life of lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IODroids:
Thanks brother for confirmation.

Lollipop is stupidest update from Google for people who fully charge in morning and wait till end of day.

TechArena.IN
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
I don't seem to have any issue with lollipop. Infact battery life is far better for me than it was in kitkat. I've installed greenify
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ares.phobos:
You guys can try the CM12 that's under beta testing now if your interested. I've been using it for the past 3 days and its bloody smooth and stable. Camera doesn't work though. The Devs are still fixing it. But just saying. :)

Sent from My Xcaliber SM-N900
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
It is far better mate, it is far better.

Some people just don't do any wipe or anything, and complaining about poor battery life and all that! Weird really!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
Correct!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Vishnu pv:
I have installed lollipop version in 4 methods:

1. OTA

2. Flashed via odin.

3. Updated from Samsung Service Center.

4. Kies.

The 2nd and 3rd method done by full wipe data and cache. But still there is some issues with battery life and ram usage. Its a quite common issue with Lollipop update from Google. Not a problem of Samsung. We can't get the stunning battery life of KitKat with this Lollipop update. You can imagine that all of the apps of Lollipop uses the white background even the keyboard. So the display has to omit more brightness. May be this is one of the reason. And even Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 have also the same issues. BTW Lets wait for another update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
I don't know man, it's been over a month now I am on Lollipop, and the battery life seems to impress me still. It is significantly better than KitKat, that's 100%.

I have never reached 7 hours SOT on KK, I barely reached 6 hours on KK, 5 hours or less was the normal, but with LP, I am hitting 6 hours on a continuous basis, I have crossed 7 hours on several occasions too, and in fact I have actually seen 8 hours SOT twice, however the total standby was less than a day, so I am counting it out just for the sake of giving KK at least some respect.

I honestly don't know what's going on with the people who are having difficulties with battery life on LP!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MrH672:
Crossed 10hrs last day that was awesome.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
But it does have the memory leak issue..rest all the issues are same which all samsung exynos octa core, which have 2 processors, phones have..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
Why someone needs to worry about that when most of the users are getting better-than-kitkat battery life?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
What's this memory leak issue exactly? High RAM usage?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ambu.s.r:
While on KK i was getting about 10-11 hrs with 3g data turned on all the time, but now on LP i'm only getting 7-8 hrs. And while gaming LP is consuming more battery than in KK. I tried installing thru kies, ota & odin with wiping. Result is same... :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
Yes, but in lollipop the memory is being wasted (as far as I believe) so we call it memory leak.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
Would you call this a memory leak? Battery life is much better for me on average. Yes, it's not very good while gaming but still, it's not a deal breaker to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheRebel:
I n new at flashing via Odin. Can u please what is the correct method of flashing via odin? Is it okay if i flash some official rom via odin, and thrn factory reset phone or ahould i do data wipe before flashing rom?

And also please tell me how can i wipe data and cache on a non rooted phone?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
Did u get the further OTA too means the 91 mb one which was released as a stability update after the update for android 5 was out ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] note3freak:
I'm waiting for for 5.0.1 or 5.1 update :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
The correct method is the standard method, which is the easiest method mate.

Just download a ROM, put the the .tar file under Odin's AP/PDA tab, and hit on Start, and then wait for the flashing procedure to finish. A full ROM takes around 5-6 minutes, a kernel or recovery takes around 10 seconds.

And yes, you should wipe data before flashing.

No idea about how to wipe everything on a non rooted phone, sorry.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
The major problem on lollipop for me is the touch screen sometimes goes haywire or stops responsing altogether.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheRebel:
Thanks for the response. But when i go to downloading mode by pressing, vol down, home and power button, it doesnt give me any option to wipe cache. Is this because I'm on a non rooted phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
True.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
I am pretty sure you will have to wait a very long time then.

=D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheRebel:
I'm sorry, I asked this question before too, but couldn't properly understand my query. My question is, how do we know, which official ROM is latest. One way, is by checking the build date (given on samMobile). And other way is by looking at PDA or CSC or Both?

Like for example, the Kazakhastan rom on samMobile, has PDA OC4 and CSC OC1.

Taiwan rom has PDA OC3 and CSC OC3?

Now which of the two Roms is latest? If I look at the build date, Taiwan one is the latest, but when I look at the PDA, Kazakhastan rom seems latest, since its PDA is OC4

Thanks in advance

Hii all

I am a galaxy note 3 exynos variant user since December 2013. I have rooted my device , greenified many apps and frozen many using titanium. Have a look at my battery life . 42 % gone in 1.5 hours !! Is my battery dead ? If so is it the normal period by which the stock battery will be dead (my phone is 1 yr 5 month old now ) . I want to know how is the battery life of my contemporaries. Also guys if i want to buy a replacement battery , where should i buy it and how much will it cost. I had gone through amazon.in and saw one around 1.4k which is being branded as a genuine one. Please help me with this. Thanks in advance

Cheers

dr heart
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
Battery looks quite alright by looking at the screen on time.

The battery would cost around 1400rupees. Its better to approach a samsung service centre in india for an original battery.

Well thats what I would do.

Hit thanks if I helped
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drheart:
How can u say the battery is alright ?? In 1 and a half hours see how much drain has occured !!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
That has nothing to do with it.

Its the screen time that matters. I get a bit above 3+ hours of screen on time with continous usage for full charge.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drheart:
Please post about your battery backup

1. Total time for 100 to 0

2. Max screen on time

2b. Age of your phone(specifically battery age)

3.whether you use 3g or 2g

4. Android version and root status

Your responses will be highly appreciated as i am in a quest to know whats wrong with my device

Receving new update...!!!

Hi guys,

just checked the update now, and its receving 138.96 MB update.

I will add more info about this update after installation...

EDIT: Details:

Stability update.

Changelist: 4115321

Version: N900XXUEBOD1

After few minutes, I figured out some changes.

1. Recent menu feels lil bit smoother.

2. RAM usage reduced.

3. Battery seems to be more improved :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mahi198488:

seems batter more stable (i think )

still no heating issues from last update....

Anyone else experiencing problems with facebook app after the new update?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] n4speed2:
My software update just failed i guess. It was running ok till optimizing apps and after that the screen went black in the middle and it switched off. Now the start up battery symbol keeps blinking with no signs of going ahead. Download Mode not happening, so i guess its a HARD BRICK really sad that i was going to buy the Note5 this year but now have to do it something lower because don't want to spend much on S6 or Note4 now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mr.Raviteja:
Are you able to enter into recovery mode? If yes then try to clear cache if that didn't work try resting mobile
[Galaxy Note 3 General] n4speed2:
I am not able to boot into recovery mode as well. Resting mobile ? Should i try any Mobile Repair shops or consider this as a dead phone and look out for a new one ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mr.Raviteja:
Charge your mobile for 20-30mins and then try to power it on....Mostly it might not work but try..Once

Ask outside of this thread also once. If that didn't work Last option is Service Center

If you're interested in new mobile go for Edge..I'm planning to get Edge next month
[Galaxy Note 3 General] n4speed2:
Thanks for all the tips man. The Edge looks like a good phone but was thinking about Note5 because it will be with good optics for the camera and Samsung new processor. I hope they dont go the S6 way and take out the battery and SD card. if the price drops significantly for the Edge then it will be a steal. IMO the Note4 is overpriced right now if you compare it with what Note3 offers you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mr.Raviteja:
Well check this http://www.sammobile.com/2015/05/07/rumor-samsung-galaxy-note-5-project-zen-details-emerge/

That is still rumor

Price might Drop in Sept or Oct that's when Note 5 will be launched
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Try with other charged battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] n4speed2:
Tried with another battery but still the same problem. When charging the Charging symbol keeps on blinking. and no boot up possible into recovery and download mode. Phone refuses to start up.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AmanJhawar:
Go to a nearest service center today. Samsung offers the best after sales service.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aamirleo55:
any download mirror for the latest indian N900 stock firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] n4speed2:
Did that and they said they need to change the MB and Charging Connector which amounts to 14-15k which i think would mean its better to buy a new phone:(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mr.Raviteja:
Ya better new device...Anyway you were going to get new device in Sept
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Possibility is messed up bootloader flashing. OTA flash bootloader from recovery and if anything happen wrong during this time you get typically same issue. Device doesn't get reboot with combo key bcoz bootloader is corrupted. This is reason many time I have asked users not to demand flashing bootloader with recovery (though it's no more possible with custom recovery as Samsung have disabled it already)

Still visit some other service centre where jtag is available.

Or if your device still recognized by odin when battery symbol appear just try flashing bootloader (at your risk and considering nothing else can be done)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] n4speed2:
Thanks for the details. it was not getting recognized in Odin and i guess even repairing it wont sustain it for a long time so i guess i will scrap it off and hunt for a new phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
I had a dead mobo last year caused due to a improper file download due to a wifi disconnection while performing a ota update by phone.

Is this a samsung specific issue than is only solvable via a mobo replacement? For other phones i read people say if anything goes wrong while download/installation/flashing just turn off device & restart the process.

But why do sammy phones die directly ? Which is the goto android phone manufacturer to avoid these mobo/brick issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] razor848:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
I just installed the new update via odin. Everything went well.

But now when I try to move my video folders to movie folder I get a error on my desktop saying "Media pipeline EXE error" and files transfer stops. I assume it will be the same case moving folders elsewhere. Didn't have this problem ever. Please help ASAP.

no 3g on airtel and which custom rom ?

Guys, hello.. good to be back on xda after a long long time..

I just got a brand new note 3 n-900 which i guess is the exynos version.. im in delhi amd using an airtel prepaid connection. I am not at all getting any 3g speed .. will flashing a new ROM help ? The airtel people do not have an amswer to my problem

Secondly,

Which is a good, stable and bloatware free touch wiz UI rom in kit kat and lollipop, ?

There are too many choices, so i am confused. .

And which root method is good cf root ? Or that other one ? And what is the difference between the two of them? ? Which cwm recovery will be good and basic ?

I do not plan to flash ROMS frequently so suggest accordingly. .

I currently have xxueni1 pre installed on my phone

Sorry too many questions but i have been away for a long time..

:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
Firstly, No flashing a new rom will not help with 3g speeds. All I can say is that make sure you network mode is set to gsm/wcdma both.

You should root using PC odin and CWM will be flashed accordingly.

Which is the best rom? No one can answer that as per the rules of xda and different people different opinions. If you want a debloated TouchWiz Rom, the best thing is to root and

1)Free the apps you dont require via titanium backup

2)Use greenify to hibernate the rest of the apps which you use but remain active in the background.

This is the best thing for you.

Also if not already upgraded to lollipop,do a clean update to lollipop.

This could be the best alternative for you.

Update on the Lollipop update.

Hi guys!

I've held back on updating my Note 3 till now after reading the reviews of the recent update. What's the status now? Is the overheating and battery drain problem over? What about the problem with the proximity sensor?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
2 extra updates have been released since then. Frankly I never noticed any problems, just the slight crashing of apps in the beginning. If you could, just do a clean install for starters.

If not, the update is really worth it.
