[Galaxy Note 3 General] appro77:
Well imo a lag of 1.5 seconds coming from deep sleep is unacceptable from a state of the art smartphone. Those who say they don't have the issue don't want to see it. Entropy himself has said that there is a minimum 650ms lag coming from deep sleep and it is caused by the Exynos chipset. In reality the lag is usually around 1 to 1.5 seconds. There are countless Youtube videos showing it. Hopefully it won't be there on the Note 3 with the S800, hence my original question to the OP regarding if he saw it or not. I wasn't trying to start an argument over if the wake up lag is there or not on the Note 2 because any honest observer can see that wake up lag is present. Whether it concerns the individual user or not is a very subjective issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RandyBoyz92:
Did it have purple screen smearing like Samsung Galaxy S4?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mdalacu:
I love the wake up kag, it tells me that everything on the phone is running well no runaway processes (power hungry apps).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] appro77:
That's a new perspective. Each to their own I suppose. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
And I wish I could properly measure anything under 1s :laugh:

I did some comparison right now, and I thing there is some difference, when turning the screen on from just a short standby or from deep sleep, but I cannot really tell..

Bad bad Exynos :laugh:

Can't wait to see the difference of energy efficiency (battery performance) between the Exynos and Snapdragon Gnote3 devices

It will worth any 300/650ms microlag after wake-up ;)

You forgot the most important part... The battery life review!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Skander1998:
Read the post before commenting, he said he didn't have enough time to judge the battery.

Everyone just wait, it's like 9 or so days left for the phone to get released and you will, trust me be tired of all the reviews about EVERY detail, how the microscopic structure of the pen works and how samsung added a micron thick indentation here and there.

Just.. wait :3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NZtechfreak:
Thanks for paying attention!

Seriously guys, I'm not going to make up stories about things like battery where it was not possible to draw meaningful conclusions in the time I had access (you'll have to go places like the Verge to see low quality reporting on battery life, like the 36 hours they spent with an HTC One under review conditions prior to making statements about its battery life).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NZtechfreak:
No, I was referring to the Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter, which does not need a charging input plugged in. Sorry I did not check whether the Note 2 adapter, which is MHL 1.0 can do that (as by rights it should not be able to).

Actually I looked into this some more - the network guy I was in contact with said it was the AB binning as it was clocked at 2.3Ghz. I took that as read and hence posted that information here, however I see even at the 2.3Ghz clockspeed it looks like there are two binnings for the GPU speed. Bottom line I can't categorically state this is AB bin, my apologies for that - OP updated.

Here is what the Voodoo Report says, as you can see it depends on whether the 0007 revision corresponds to the AB bin:

Hardware	: Qualcomm MSM 8974 (Flattened Device Tree)

Revision	: 0007

See above.

You're welcome!

It may lag in certain areas, I can really only comment with certainty about those, since I specifically checked them (also, who knows whether lag will emerge later as the phone gets loaded up with apps and data).

Yes, the Z1, is, ah, generously endowed with bezels.

The speaker at the bottom seemed adequate, nothing to write home about. I didn't specifically compare, but it didn't strike me as obviously better than the Note 2 speaker.

In relation to sound quality its like the battery, I can't make a genuine comment about that from the time I had and I refuse to make stuff up. Trust me this is an area of massive importance to me also. I will do blind and volume matched audio tests with the release Note 3 when I get it (with a few friends heavily into audio), you likely won't find a write up as rigorous as that anywhere unless Supercurio actually does something with the audio for the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NZtechfreak:
Yeah, this is pre-release firmware obviously, so who knows what may change between now and release.

See earlier comments, I plan to do detailed comparisons at release, but didn't have time over the weekend to get a real feel for it.

Regarding 24-bit sound, you might want to read this (written by a professional musician who wrote the ogg codec, this is the most substantive commentary I have seen about the relative merits of 24-bit sound):

http://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html

Build felt a lot better than the Note 2, that's for sure. Obviously it paled in comparison to the Z1, which is superb in that regard.

As mentioned by others from my comments in another thread there was no FM radio on this one (firmware build date Sept 7th, so must be nearing final and I would be surprised to suddenly see FM radio added between now and release.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NZtechfreak:
Hey can't we all just respect that other people have different use-case scenarios and leave it at that? It's clearly important to some, I got a ton of questions on Twitter about whether FM radio was there.

Do you know I totally neglected to examine specifically for this. Certainly there was no wake lag obvious enough to grab my attention, but without specifically looking for it I can't guarantee that there isn't any. Apologies, this is really something I should have looked for knowing how frustrating it is to many users of Samsung devices over the last couple of years. Unfortunately when I put out the call for questions on Twitter nobody asked me about this :(

NO! I definitely looked for this, that jagged smearing on scrolling text is something that really bugs me with my S4.

That's a very adaptive perspective.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sammath:
I love that the smearing is gone! Also bugs me with the s4.cant wait to get the note 3 and leave all that stuff behind :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alexcarterkarsus:
the 4k playback worries me a bit, as I just watched a clip on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwn8cgWpTnc) comparing the 4k playback between N3 and sony z1, the latter plays the clip much more smoothly. So my question to OP is, do you also see the same behavior with your unit?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Skander1998:
I don't see anything limiting the hardware, it will be most probably fixed before release.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] takkk7:
Have you seen that Note 3 has no more pop-up browser of Note 2?

Why is that?

I understand now with pen window we have more choices , but when i want to open a link or something, i wont have a choice to have a small window...? I have to use the spen, make a box , select internet and copy-paste the link i already have opened in the full browser?:eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] robertogl:
Do a copy of the system folder and upload here :angel:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vgergo:
there are paid alternatives.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] hockeyfan:
Ahh, okay, thank you for clearing this up. So, it looks like I will have to purchase the Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter, which is clearly different than my current N2's MHL 1.0 adapter. No biggie. Just the fact that one can output to HDTV without needing to plug in the power to the MHL adapter is a huge reason to upgrade, IMHO.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] robertogl:
If you use the adapter of s3 (Mhl 1) with s4, you don't need to plug in the power :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RandyBoyz92:
Awesome that the smearing is gone. Thanks for the answer :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shbumc:
Actually, I didn't care about 24/192 at all. I just thought that now it's "support" 24/192 does the sound chip better "in sound quality" than the predecessor? And if it does, how good is it compare to the Wolfson?

I will wait for your result when the Note 3 release. Thank you. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
Did u try charging the phone, if yes how much time does it take in comparison with note 2?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
I looked at the N3's APK list and Pop Up Browser isn't in there so it's gone.

N3 APK list...

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...sor-hinted-from-a-list-of-leaked-APKs_id47014

I used Pop Up Browser a lot too. I've got mixed emotions about the new "box" approach to getting a smaller browser up. I love being able to open a mini-browser anywhere I want. And the improved way of copying content to the Scrapbook from a web page. Without using the new features I'm leaning toward being OK with Pop Up Browser being gone in favor of the new approach. I have a Note 10.1 and being able to launch mini windows anywhere you want is far superior to the split window approach on other Notes. I guess we'll find out what people think after they have a chance to use the N3's new features.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] takkk7:
Anyway , I think xda will give us a chance to get back pop up browser! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
They already have

Also attached YouTube popup player
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hockeyfan:
Eh? Now I'm really confused. I guess I will just have to wait for the N3 to come out to see if it will work with my N2 MHL adapter. Whether it works with the old adapter or needs the new one, I'm just glad that the power source doesn't have to be plugged in. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dan37tz:
My heart just sank. So it's confirmed the Note 3 Lags like the S4? :mad::crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Wow, you win the “biggest leap toward an assumption” award based on misconstruing multiple posts. Which it appears you edited to make your point BTW, as what you quoted had specifics cut out of it.

Here's the conversation in its entirety. The worst anyone can read from it is that there may be lag in certain areas on the N3 but at this point it's completely unproven. NZtechfreak's initial experience in terms of what he tested was positive and he wasn't willing to proffer an opinion (which I admire) on aspects of the UI he hadn't tested personally. So your (and most folks here) worst nightmare may still come true but it’s way too early to make the assumption you posted; especially based on the below conversation alone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NZtechfreak:
Thanks for that Barry, I think within the full context in which that statement was made it is quite clear (providing you were following along), but your post clarifies it quite nicely in a single post.

Also, we still need to discuss the photos, between work, a cold and a sick toddler I've not been up to too much the last couple of days.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
The first thing I do (even before rooting) is replace the TW launcher with a better one.

I have been doing that since my first Samsung , the S1.

Maybe that's the reason I am always surprised when I read about these lag issues, specially on the bleeding edge S4 (which I never played with, btw)

.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] appro77:
+1. Touchwiz = Fail imo.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] systoxity:
i like touchwiz in roms. Works great with dev support :)

Nz, btw i saw the comparison shots you posted up. Can you tell us your thoughts on them? Particularly interested in what your impressions of the z1 camera. It doesn't look like the gap between quality from note 3 to z1 is as large as from z1 to 1020. I'm on the fence between z1 and note 3 and what could push me in either direction would be camera quality. If its not that much of an improvement over the note 3 then idk... Of course i'm holding off buying till they are both out in store so i can get a feel myself. But still these juicy tidbits keep me going :P.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] georaldc:
The Note 3 had trouble playing back its own video files?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
You're one of the contributors here (on XDA) whose opinions I value highest. I aspire to your objectivity. The one thing that's a variable though is what s/w the device you got to play with was running. If you remember (like you could forget ;) ) from the SGS4 camera discussion pre-production s/w and even updates that followed to the release s/w changed the camera output pretty significantly. Looking at the full size pics you posted from the N3 and SGS4 the N3's shots have noticeably more noise and/or compression artifacts which (theoretically) shouldn't be considering the h/w's the same. And some of the commentary from various "hands-on" reviews noticed the same thing. But we'll save that discussion for when your time frees up and you're feeling better. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Strategist:
Yeah, NZ is one of the best reviewers not just here but anywhere on the Internet. I really enjoyed his giant review on the Note 1 two years back and hope he has the time to do something similar with the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
GSMArena posted a mini-review of the N3 today. It has this attached...

Disclaimer: The following preview is based on a pre-production Galaxy Note 3 and by explicit request by Samsung we won't be posting any camera samples (even though these are really good and look better than the ones from Note II and the Galaxy S4). We won't be conducting our usual suite of tests either. We'll leave those for a later occasion when we get a retail review sample.​

So if [MENTION=1191710]NZtechfreak[/MENTION]'s sample hass similar firmware it could impact our conversations, especially about the camera output.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RandyBoyz92:
I forgot to ask, did it have black crush? Its a little annoying, especially when watching movies.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NZtechfreak:
To be honest I didn't specifically monitor for that, so can't comment (waaaaaay too much to do in too little time!). Apologies.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] msx999:
there is absolutely no way this phone will have black crush - remember it on my note 1, but it was fixed in the note 2.

on another note :), the back of the phone - faux leather effect, looks really tacky - hopefully will swap out for something better,,,
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
Just get a thin cool cover case and get the win-win ( protection + less tackyness)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sublimaze:
Definitely better than Note 2, but nothing to brag about. At least the Note 3 will be usable in sunlight. Using the Note 2 outdoors is almost impossible.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rchapoteau:
To be honest it looked like it was a bit overcast in that video. I'm not sure how sunny it really was there.

When recording video are you able to change the FPS? I notice that the video recorded was 30fps, and I was wondering if it was also do 24. Or maybe 1080p/60fps would be nice.

This could be beneficial should one accidentally delete something before or without backing up, assuming it actually works. I haven't tried it, just passing it on for those that might find it useful at some point. I'm thinking of more the recovery part of it over the backing up part. I often see posts by others wanting to recover deleted texts. I'm planning on downloading it, just in case. You never know in a pinch.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] AdmiralAK:
I know that there were blue and orange versions of the SX66 sold. Mine is an orange one and I am able to use MEdia net. Does the blue version just mean that it is SIM locked to the former AT&T, or does it also mean that you can use mMode on it?

If you can use mMode can someone post the customization files :p I wanted to try it out ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
I need to buy a MiFi device and noticed that they're around £60 or more for the decent ones. Then I got thinking that a budget Android smartphone rocking at least ICS would probably cost around the same. I could then use this as a MiFi by enabling WiFi mobile hotspot but the additional benefit is that I could also text and make/receive calls using my SIM card with the data connection. I'd also benefit from having the built-in data usage warnings, limits and graphing as well.

I should note, that I don't specifically need ICS but I assume this is when the data usage settings were added to Android. If it was introduced earlier, then I'm happy to go back to whichever version had this incorporated.

Any links to suitable unlocked phones available in the UK would be greatly appreciated. Looking to get the most bang for buck as possible while staying at the budget end of pricing.

TIA

Hi,

I have been experiencing issues with pictures taken from the main camera of this phone.

The pictures are rotated up-side-down.

Any picture (taken from main camera) and sent via whatsapp is reduced to the resultion of 240*320.

No matter what I do to rotate the picture on the computer or recipient mobile phone the orientation stayed up-side-down.

Has any one got this problem, any solutions?

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] komadori:
There are two ways to rotate a jpeg photograph. One is by the exif data in the file, one of which specifies orientation. The other is by completely rewriting the file to change the order in which the pixels are scanned. Not all programs recognise the exif orientation data. Suspect that the program you use to rotate the image is using the exif method but the program used to view the image does not recognise that.
[HTC Desire C] addictz10:
Hey Guys, Im Here to share a Useful app ... It saves a lot of RAM... It Hibernates Apps that youre not using... it is free to download from Playstore :D ...

HEALTHY RAM = Good battery Life

:D

Greenify 1.92

Download Link: Link

Features:

IMPORTANT: Greenifying an app implies that you are aware that all the background functionality of this app will become out of service during the hibernation except when you are using this app:

* Persistent background services

* Broadcast receivers, which respond to global device events, such as network state change, SMS reception.

* Alarms, which activate background task at specific time or interval.

* Widget update. Widget should display but may or may not update because periodic update sometimes involves background task.

* Push message. Push is also disabled since it would activate background task on Android, unlike iOS which just shows up messages to user.

Please DO NOT greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you never rely on them. Please verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily rely.

Compared to other popular tools aimed for the similar purpose, Greenify offers the following advantages:

◆ Unlike the "Freeze" feature in "TitaniumBackup Pro" that totally disable the app, you can still use your app as usual, share content with it. No need to freeze & defrozen it.

◆ Unlike "App Quarantine", you can launch greenified apps in any way as usual. No more crafted app-launch widgets, no more manual disabling.

◆ Unlike "Autostarts", you can benefit from almost all of its advantages, without needing to deal with the complexity and risk of obscure app components, and never lose functionality when app is actively running.

◆ Unlike any "XXX Task Killer", your device will never fall into the cat-mouse-game of stealthy-running and aggressive killing, which unnecessarily consumes much battery juice.

Note: Greenify do need a background persistent "Cleaner" service to put the greenified apps back into hibernation when you are not actively using them. It is designed and implemented in extremely lightweight, with an average RAM footprint at 3M in total, and nearly zero CPU and battery consumption.

What's New

v1.92

New multiple-choice mode after long clicking in app list.

Tasker plugin now support per-app hibernation.

Donation version:

Experimental features can now be enabled or disabled separately.

New experimental feature - Keep Notifications after Hibernation, Block App State Abuse.

Have Fun Guys... Saving a lot of RAM :D ...

My wife has a stock, unrooted SGS3 and plans to keep it that way. I don't mess with her stuff unless I really need to.

However, I do usually Disable any stock apps that I can which I can.. But I don't want to screw it up and have to reset the phone because I disabled the wrong app.

Anyone know of a safe list for 4.1.2, although I'd guess that earlier releases are probably close enough too. I've searched around, but most are around freezing, and I'm not doing that, only the built-in Disable function. I've disabled a few obvious AT&T things but not sure about some of the S* crapps.

Thanks!

Freezing and disabling are the same thing.
