Guest mode for sm n900

Do our phones have a guest mode , so that when my friends checkout my device don't mess around with pics,messages,whatsapp etc
[Galaxy Note 3 General] numerouknow:
ya it looks cool though...I had used one such cover during my early days with note2 as those were the only ones available after launch. I was fortunate I switched to full body covers in a few days because I had dropped my mobile 3-4 times after that lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uv.mrcool:
Dude there is not a question of which one is better :P

As for me m happy with this version that we have got. Exynos version is better in many aspects than the SD800.

Unlock the HMP on this chipset and its the dad of the beast. Both for performance and battery efficiency.

But, there is a downfall to it too. HMP is not on the cards for the near future(untill someone decides to make a kernel for it).

And the development. Exynos chipsets have been notorious for there documentation and sources.

That's where the difference is.

Extended warranty

i have extended my gn3's warranty for 1 year by paying 1703 rupees at Samsung service center..just shared if that helps anybody..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fatekills:
We need to go to service center for that or can we do it online ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cellfrens:
you will have to go to service center..in my case i had to call Samsung from service center to get the "BP NUMBER"(or something like that..i don't know what that is)..then they took my phone for 5-10 mins and checked imei etc..then i paid rs.1703 and they gave me a bill for the same and told me that i will have to wait for 3 months b4 the extended warranty confirmation will come..its not a problem as we already have one year warranty..the extended warranty is only for the phone..not for accessories
[Galaxy Note 3 General] letaureau:
While talking to a samsung store person they said extended warranty is not available mobile phones, he said its only applicable on fridge,tv,..... any other electronic good except mobiles..

how can we get insurance?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] letaureau:
But claiming insurance on the phone is a hell of a problematic headache.whereas the samsung warranty extending will insure that my system will be repaired by just going to service center

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

U can ask the shopkeeper if they sell insurance or u can head over to any insurance company eg. new age assurance and get your phone registered.

It has a specific timeline (i think 1 week) after which u cannot take a new insurance so best is to take it as soon as u buy
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rl421403:
I don't see any problems with insurance claims. My brother got claim last year for water damaged screen on his Note 2 and it was pretty standard procedure. Just like filing claim for a bike insurance. But yeh, it's more complicated then Samsung support, mostly paperwork. But service center does not offer many things that you can get with insurance. Like theft, screen damage, water damage etc.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

Yes, to get insurance, you will need to talk to shopkeeper. And I think the limit to get phone insurance is 30 days from purchase.

If you plan to get insurance then make sure you ask for what is covered and what is not. You should get a policy that can cover water damage & screen damage too.

Some insurance companies only offer claim over damages that can only cover under manufacturer warranty. Which is pretty useless imo because why we want to get insurance for damages can cover under warranty also.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] letaureau:
if you buy from sangeetha they have a tie up with some insurance company, and they offer theft protection along with damage , but only for an year, no extended warranty system.

Any differences you would like to point out after shifting from sm 900 to 9005. ( other than 4k and 4g)

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

Both note 3 variants are excellent , only would be more happy if samsung would actually provide a demo of piece that they are selling (sm n900)rather than giving a sd800 demo.

Still don't understand as to why samsung does not provide an exynos note 3 demo to people before purchasing , just wonder what's wrong with them

Though there is nothing wrong in note 3 exynos , still people doubt it just because they don't provide demo

Do thank if I helped!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] HS™:
Both are a superb versions and i did not find any issues as such

But in 9005 i m free to use all available roms more then 900 plus for my theming etc i got 9005 no other reasons

It was a open and unused piece with all plastics intacts

And sd 9005 has 2.4 gb ram available less then n900

[Galaxy Note 3 General] 4nd3r50n:
Yup, I agree. I bought the orignal Note which had an Yamaha chip on it. The music quality just sucked so bad on that device. Note 2 was a revelation on the music front. To the extent, that I dumped my iPod Classic 5.5. I was hoping that the Note 3 with a FullHD screen and an upgraded Wolfson DAC will be 'THE' media device for me. Sadly, it seems, that isn't going to be. Ah well, might as well get a ZeroLemon battery for the Note 2 and wait on till next year for the Note 4. Thanks everyone :)

Ok guys finally getting my note 3 from singapore just a quick question does it needs to used first time with sim there ? Or i can unbox here and use indian sim straight away ?

Will be very happy if i can get it fully sealed and work here out of box like to know from others who got the snapdragon version here
[Galaxy Note 3 General] manjeev:
Hi,

All phones sold here in Singapore are unlocked so you can use with any sim for the first use. Though getting a sealed box is doubtful as the seller opens the box in front of you and starts the phone once (can do even without sim) to check the working condition and do the warranty paperwork etc.

Cheers

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pd1985:
If you are visiting singapore then please confirm it at the store from which you are getting the note 3 sd800 , if you are getting it from someone else there , please tell them to confirm it and then bring it , though singapore pieces are unlocked ones , I was told that they do check the piece there for any fault after the purchase , so a sealed box is quiet not possible,you can buy here in india after checking the piece sd800 (unsealed)but of course if you get from singapore there is an official warranty of one year on the product, so I would advice you to get it from singapore itself if possible

Just gave a demo of my phone to a cousin , told him about all the differences of sd800 and exynos , as well as told him to check everything he needs to for buying note 3 , he in turn decided to buy it from me itself as had to catch a flight and wanted one with warranty only and told me to get a new one for myself,

Looking forward for note 3 sd800 (of course won't get a bill, hence confused)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] numerouknow:
a brand new packed n900 with 1yr samsung warranty costs around 42-45k and an unpacked n9005 with no warranty is sold for 43k. incredible india!!! lol

i understand that n9005 needs to be imported from other locations & so an added extra cost. i also know that n9005 will get better developer support/custom roms. but if i was a buyer, my major concern will be the 'unpacked' part. it could well be a used piece. you never know. anyways, that's only my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pd1985:
Hence I say , either use exynos with warranty , or get it from singapore with warranty if you can ! But still if you want sd800 here in india , the only way is to buy without warranty , I am having the same concerns os sd800 , ( what if it's a used piece ) , cannot do anything regarding that , so unless you have link in other countries to get it with bill , exynos is the best option with bill in india

Well guys warranty is a big issue on such high priced phones.

Where are we supposed to run, if something happens to the phone? Many of us don't frequent to Singapore / Hongkong :P

Bill is very important at the time of reselling also, here in INDIA when you go reselling the new customer asks for invoice to cover if under warranty. SD800 version won't have the same.

AFAIK to get an insurance on this phone, a valid bill of purchase is required? correct me if i am wrong :P
[Galaxy Note 3 General] numerouknow:
thats a very good point. when i had my sony arc for sale after 18 months of usage, every prospective buyer i came across was keen on getting it along with the bill despite the phone being out of warranty.
