Camera Fringing is blurry pictures or edges of the pictures getting blurred .

I suppose u can check the Temperature with the inbuilt sensor ( didn't buy the S4, because of Octa core issues, so not 100 % sure ), but would be better to check the same on the Camera lens, display & battery cover .

Yes, charge the phone to 100 % first . The results on the Battery life may not be accurate, since the battery would start giving better life after 3-4 complete charge - discharge cycles, but still we would have some kind of analysis .

Smearing - when you slowly scroll on black backgrounds, with grey options (such as in the settings menu, where background's is grey, and the buttons and some other things are grey), while slowly scrolling, the grey will kind of turn a little bit purple . Check the S4 thread . U would know of lot of things, u would need to check .

Check the web, u would get You Tube videos of S4 on all these problems .

...........do post your review tomorrow .

It's always that Indians don't get choice...not only with Samsung but Apple and other as well.

That's the trick, push the device with scale-down hardware and charge higher premium in India. That's how these companies making profits and offering bargains on much lower prices comparing to India in US. UK, Canada and other part of world.

I usually get over 8 hrs of screen on time on a heavy usage and total of more than 1d and 16 hrs usage on an average..

The issue might be due to dependant app being removed. Try to clear dalvik and cache from recovery. No data wipe. How did you remove the bloated apps? TB? Then restore some and see if issue is solved. Else install Dr Ketan's rom and enjoy.

3.5 hrs is because I used It for that long. It is not an issue. Also I am trying to explain that kk has a better battery life than MJ7.

I am not interested in a competition.

If you have better stats then it is good for you.

My only point is that 4.4.2 is better than 4.3 (mk2) in terms of battery usage.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2646521
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajat_delhi:
Can be done by using odin and 4.3 stock rom. You will also need to flash the bootloader as both have different bootloaders.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
Well its not wise to downgrade...4.4.2 is way better than 4.3...

Ohh it so simple? but n9005 snapdargon n3 can't downgrade, it will get bootloop.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajat_delhi:
Why do you want to do it?

Also check Dr Ketan's rom thread. He had said that it can be done. But I don't see a reason to do it. Kk is way better than jelly bean.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
You can downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3 on these condition (applies to all N900 or N9005)

1.If you have updated to 4.4 without new bootloader (in case of custom ROM) - Here you can straightway downgrade to 4.3 with Odin

Updating to 4.4 will also update bootloader if you update 4.4 with Odin (full ROM), with Kies or OTA. Or incase you have manually update bootloader

2.You can downgrade to 4.3 in spite you have bootloader from 4.4 in following way

a.Flash 4.3 with CWM (custom ROM) OR with Mobile Odin (N900 doesn't have Mobile odin support)

b.Remove sboot.bin,tz.img,param.bin from tar file of 4.3 ROM, repack to tar and flash using Odin. (you needs basic linux knowledge to unpack/Repack tar, also note that sometime ROM file may not have tz.img or param.bin in that condition just remove sboot.bin)

random reboots

Contrary to many users having stable kitkat, i continue to have random reboots. Not sure what triggers it. It can occure anytime, while lying idle or doing minimalistic thing like navigating into the setting or opening an app.

Dont have battery drain issue but these random reboots irritate me.

Not sure if factory reset from recovery will help as i saw some users having the same issue and reporting, they continues to have reboots even after factory reset.

I am on unrooted stock kitkat 4.4.2.

The reboots started after updating to kitkat.

Is anybody out there having same issue and was able to resolve it?

Rite now i am avoiding reflashing or resetting as i am having my exams.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Try reflashing ROM with Odin it won't void warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] I01:
Thankyou doctor for the reply.

I am myself a doctor appearing for pg enterance exam, so dont have much tome to reflash it rite now.

Any idea what could be the issue?

If no other solution is there i will have to reflash it once i am dome with my exams but then i ll loose all my apps and settings.

In this way I am getting an oppurtunity to learn a lot frm u doc....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] I01:
Correct me if i am wrong.

From what i understand..

Hard resetting is doing factory reset from stock recovery which will clear my internal memory and return me to factory setup.

On the other hand if i use odin to flash stock kitkat rom i will not loose my aplications and its data.

Flashing using odin will most likely solve my problem of random reboots.

If i am correct can somebody guide to the link on how to use odin to flash my rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] abhinavmn:
Flashing thru odin will not erase anything....
