[Galaxy Note 3 General] Khizar:
That's weird. The updates haven't affected my battery life at all..LOL

Have you bought stuff from eBay before? What's the deal with customs? Do you have to go pay custom fees and then pick up your item or they deliver it and ask you to pay customs fees? Have bought a lot of stuff online but never got it shipped to Pakistan before.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
How have you ordered? I once ordered a case through my friend and it never reached. BUY 1 for me as well or grab someone else and order 3.

It happens sometimes when too many users are trying to access the software upgrade at the same time. The server gets overloaded. Just be patient and try at a time when less users are active, late night or maybe morning time. The servers might be placed at some other part of the world. So try at different times.

Yar it's not just me but I have asked some others too. They are experiencing the same problem. They can't access Google play store or send or receive emails thru Gmail app...weird!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MoonSTRuK:
Can others please confirm if their Play store and Gmail apps are connecting at all? I tried fully wiping my phone first but to no use. Later I even flashed my phone back to Mj6 to be upgraded automatically to the latest yet the same problem persists! I can't even connect to my Google account to restore my contacts. I can though access Gmail through default Email app but not through Gmail App....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Khizar:
Both work fine..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MoonSTRuK:
Can u tell me a way to fix this issue? U know while I was trying to update the firmware to MK2 in fully working condition of Play store and Gmail I pulled out the cable halfway through the upgrade process. Ever since that I am noticing this issue. I even factory resetted the phone and later flashed back to Mj6 yet the same problem persists...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
^^

having this terrible issue for last few days. Driving me nuts, after that Google play won't work. This is a typical connection problem. I suggest you to switch to mobile internet for signing in. If playstore doesn't work, either restart the wifi modem or change the date settings from automatic to manual.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MoonSTRuK:
Ohhhh I am glad I am not the only person suffering from this. U experiencing the same thing soheb?

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

It's driving me crazy too. I had to factory reset my phone and now i can't even retrieve my contacts cos bloody Google won't connect! :(

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

Ok i am now finally able to gain my Google Account after trying back and forth a million times. Retrieved my contacts and got Gmail app working too. Yet play store isn't connecting.....i tried clearing the cache and data too
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
I resolved it man the way I told you.

Try this:

1. Wipe data from recovery, when Ask for signining it, its better to try on mobile internet.

2. If it doesn't work, restart the wifi modem.

3. Still doesn't wok? try changing the date and time from automatic to manual. Just click on date and time once.

Both this and playstore errors are interrelated.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MoonSTRuK:
Play store still won't connect even after trying all the possible solutions. Google is being synced now but playstore is still constipated
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fahadali2315:
Dude download the firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with odin. That is the ultimate fix...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MoonSTRuK:
Yeah fahad I even did that. I had the Mj6 firmware downloaded from Sammobile a month ago. In an attempt to try all the solutions I flashed that rom again thru doin yet the problem wouldn't fix
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fahadali2315:
You updated to Mk2 right ??? So why did u flash an older firmware on that :/

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

Flash the latest firmware,you would void knox warranty and also these problems with come with flashing older firmware on new one.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
Force stop play store, clear cache and data, change date & time and then reset internet.

How do I reset Internet?

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

You know before this problem started to occur I was updating MJ7 to MK2 thru Kies. While it was being updated I pulled out the phone in the middle of the process. Since after that I have been experiencing this problem. Wiped my phone several times and even flashed the stock rom again....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fahadali2315:
Wow :) so you should have told us this problem in the start no ? :/ you need to flash latest firmware from odin. If not firmware recovery through kies.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MoonSTRuK:
Hehehehe. ..I have been just sorting out the possible solutions through everyone's replies here. Thanks alot for the suggestions though bro. Really appreciate it...:)...It really gets on the nerves to see your beloved phone getting so sick! Lol.....I just downloaded the latest MK2 firmware thru sammobile. Should I flash that thru odin or try recovery option thru Kies?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
I mean to say reset modem. Try restarting the phone too. The main conflict of playstore issue is with date.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fahadali2315:
Odin bro :) I HATE KIES.

And no problem at all happy to help :) just need the desired information like this at first :P so we wouldnt have to go through all of that .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Khizar:
Used to have that issue when I first got the phone. I would try to log in into Gmail or g+ and i would get that error. Everything would work except for Google stuff, but waiting for about 20 to 30 mins would fix that issue on its own, haven't had that issue for a while now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MoonSTRuK:
Ok I just happened to get into the core of this problem! Had I just checked it before. None of the Android phones of my family members are able to access PlayStore either. ...I could access it at a turtle pace on mobile data instead but wouldn't work through wifi. I tried switching off the modem several times yet I found no change. Just a while ago I complained at ptcl's dsl helpline and they said they are not responsible for the Android platform and can't help in any way....This is weird....I can't seem to find a solution at all...I wasted so much time flashing my phone 10 times and found out that it has got to do with wifi and not just with my phone but 2 other android phones as well....Dunno what to do now...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
So resting the modem has fixed or they did something else?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MoonSTRuK:
Yeah sohaib you are having the same issue as I had. You need to reset your modem and if it stops working you would have to call ptcl. Actually resetting the modem clears it's cache so assumably that is the fix. Shahid suggested me to do that so it worked for me :)

hey guys,

i just got a note 3 N9005 from uae and its already rooted.i want to unroot the phone.will updating the phone via Kies unroot the phone?and if so,will it region lock the phone again?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fahadali2315:
Even if you revert back to stock , i dont think you would be getting OTA updates as for the latest Chainfire root there isnt a fully working Triangle away yet to reset the binary counter and make your firmware fully stock :) so u would have to wait for [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] to update triangle away :) if you still want to go back to stock you can flash stock firmware given your Phones csc you can find from sammobile.com and flash it through odin. I am not sure as kies would let you restore it so use odin. For the region lock you would have to check your csc and chck if they have region locks for that. :)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Metal-Freak:
slam folks.i recently purchased a Note 3 ( SM-N 900) worth 62k.but got disappointed to note there are very few custom roms available for this model as compared to N 9005. should i wait for the development or sell it ( obviously at a loss) and purchase a Note N9005 ? any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Khizar:
you still havent bought it? LOL you sent me the PM like a week ago.. anyway go with HSN, they are selling it for 65K

you should have spent the extra 3k man.. the n900 will never get as much dev as the n9005.. exynos sources take forever to get released that why devs avoid those phones

PS- btw if you are in Karachi, and wouldnt mind buying a used n9005, let me know via PM, i am thinking about selling mine and getting a n5..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MoonSTRuK:
Khizar are you bored from N9005 already? Don't tell me bro!! :p

Sent from Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Metal-Freak:
sad to know that there would not be much development fro N900.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Khizar:
Honestly I was set on getting the n5. Hate tw, don't use any of the features and so it's all "bloat" IMO. AOSP on the other hand is simple, smooth, and bloat free so I love it. I didn't even consider other phones but when the note 3 was released I checked it out and I feel in love with the screen. That's the only reason I bought it. Now I was considering getting the n5, and I posted an ad on OLX. Got many interesting replies, iPhone 5 64gb, iPhone 5s, htc one, s4, note 2, xperia z, n5 16gb, and n5 32gb. I was gonna get the 32 gb n5 but the deal didn't work out. The 16gb guy has been emailing me for a week now but I am not intrested. IF I can sell my n9005 for a decent price or if a trade works out with a 32gb I will get the n5. I feel me going to a nexus 5 from a note 3 is actually a downgrade and to an extent a bad trade due to the note 3 being worth more (the ppl on OLX don't think so, they feel n5 and note 3 are even :p) but AOSP will be worth it. However if the AOSP roms get stable enough on the n9005 won't need to... So let's see

That's the reason why I waited about 2 weeks to get the n9005 and didn't get the n900, which was easily available. The higher price and no warranty is worth it IMO due to the dev.

crooked note 3 camera housing

Hi I recently bought a new Note 3 N900. The camera housing (glass and area that covers that actual lens) is slightly off center, crooked to the right side. Seems like a manufacturing defects. Hardly noticeable but it is still there. The camera itself works fine though. Just thought id check if other pakistani users here have happened to come across this?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hammer of thor:
who would wanna buy a nexus5 over a note3? everything is better in the note
[Galaxy Note 3 General] faruqch:
Who goes for N5 is just beacue of price. Coz N9005 costs you higher then N5 with same specs but smaller size. N5 32 gb 52k but N9005 costs 66k insted so price does matter for some. But as for me I love the note3 n9005 coz of 5.7" amoled I loved samsungs amoled and prefer over tft ips lcds and just loved my note3. :cool:

Do you have the phone with or is it boxed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nabeelrazanaqvi:
No I Changed the rom and now want to flash stock country rom
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fahadali2315:
There is only one way i know you can do that.save all of your data on memory card , use triangle away to reset your binary counter (idk if that's updated to work with note 3 as of yet) than connect it to kies and start firmware recovery upgrade. Using your phones serial no. It will take you back to fully stock. :) then from there you can see your product version. And remember it for later.
