[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaemon:
I have the Note 1 and think its great, but like you said people go what the hell you need a phone that big. Then I show them how much more I can do because I have a bigger screen and 9 out of 10 people after go, "that not so bad after all". Just need to think beyond only calling and texting
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StylishMafia:
Handling it should be no problem for you seeing that you're used to a gradual increase in size...and if you think note is big see the z ultra in person XD..you won't understand till then

3 years ago I bought s1 and everyone told me that my phone is too big to use comfortly.:laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Ergonomically, there is a huge difference and more relative to hand size and finger length. The main function for a lot of people is phone and text. Most prefer one hand operation most of the time in that regard. Previous size progression did not breach this function for most people until the phablet, hence the term.

Phablet is a fair and accurate term for most people. Either choice depends on the user and nobody else. If I did not have a tablet, I would get the N3, since more display and IMO, a better all-in-one if no tablet. I though have a Excite 7.7, TF300, Nook HD+ and iPad 4. I will stick with the S4, but would not be surprised if there is a S800 refresh of some form for the S4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscline:
I have the (original) Note, bought it when they first came out, before it was even evident that any of the US carriers would offer it. So I didn't even have a chance to see one in person before I ordered it. I mocked up the phone by gluing two pieces of corrugated cardboard together, cut out to the same size as the Note. It fit in my pocket, and didn't feel awkward holding it to my face, so I ordered it. Once I got the phone, I loved it, and wouldn't go back to something smaller. However, I also don't want anything larger, as I do feel this pushes the limits of what comfortably fits in my pockets in certain clothes or activities. In fact, I wish they would have rounded the ends of the N3 more like the S4 just for that reason. But it really took no time at all for the size to seem normal to me. Of course, I grew up holding the Bell "trimline" phones to my face, so the Note is an amazing shrinking of technology from that perspective. When I first got the Note, I did get occasional "is that a tablet or a phone" questions, but not so much any more.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAVVAS.:
Size is not a big factor nowdays even more for those who seek the best experience

I am in full agreement with most of you on this matter. Basically my thinking and reasoning is this: I want the best (IMO) smartphone but at a reasonable size, so I want to look at Galaxy S4, LG G2, Sony Z1,Nexus 5 and Note 3. But hey, these mobiles are quite big and in my case in which I have small hands, it is difficult to operate them in one hand. So in essence, all these smartphones are big for me so the size factor is almost eliminated and therefore I am only after the total power, experience and functionality from those smartphones! Therefore I think Note 3 is the winner! Not to mention that Z1 is almost reaching the Note 3 dimensions but having only 5 inch display, so Note 3 at least is exploiting the big screen at an optimum level compared to its size! Now I hope the battery life of this beast will be great and at least to be on Note's 2 range.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdad2:
This is exactly where I'm at. I just want the best phone. And at the moment, the Note 3 looks like it. It just happens to be a bit bigger than average. But I think much of the stigma of holding the "phablet" to your head is gone with the Note series. I mean, is it maybe a half inch longer and quarter inch wider than the S4? Not so noticeable anymore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdad2:
I cut out cardboard last night for the Note 3 size... Glad I'm not the only one who obsesses over things like this. :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I think we've become desensitized to devices the size of the Note (all three are similar as is OG Pro). I've been using a N2 for eleven months and it’s become "normal." It's not normal though. One-handed operation was and still is a pain in the a- and I've got fairly large hands. I was recently visiting some friends and family in another state and they all had iPhones (at least a dozen of them) in various shapes and sizes. I felt like Gulliver with my N2.

I would never buy anything larger that the Note to use as my only phone. I have a large tablet so don't need my phone for the majority of my consumption. I'm betting others increasingly have 7-10" tablets too. And at least with a Note you can justify the larger screen as anything smaller would make multitasking and inking impractical. What’s the justification for the XZ Ultra?

So what problem does something like the XZ Ultra or even the One Max really solve? They create a portability problem if they are someone's primary communication device. I guess the problem they solve is not having to buy and/or carry both a phone and a tablet. But a 5.9-6.6" display is still too small for a tablet which is why the 8" form factor is the fastest growing. And God knows 5.9-6.6" is laughable as a communication device.

It kind of reminds of pre-gas crisis times where gargantuan SUVs were the biggest selling segment and people that didn’t need them bought them purely because "bigger was better" and the statement they made - “mine’s bigger than yours.” I think phones larger than the N3 will find their niche but I think once the novelty wears off people that buy them and use them as their primary device will come to their senses.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staryoshi:
Other phablets are just "big smartphones." The Note is an honest to goodness productivity machine. There are plenty of options in terms of larger smartphones, but there is only one (well 3 now) Note.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe_dude:
The phone is just a feature

Bah, I got the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 3G (T-311). Why bother with tablet + phone? Just carry one device. But seriously, it really depends how important the phone function is to you. For those who only take the occasional call, the bigger the screen, the better. The Sony SBH52 handset will take care of the rest.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscline:
Talking isn't the limiting factor to me. I don't talk much, I text, email, and browse much more. I could hold an 8" screen up to my face and talk, but it would be an issue fitting that into many of my pockets or keeping on me for certain activities. The Note is about as big as I'd want to go for someone who prefers to just drop it in a pocket & go.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe_dude:
Short answer: Cargo pants/shorts

What I did was get a belt pouch that was designed to carry a small tablet. Easier to take out while sitting down, and no wardrobe malfunctions. 8) It leaves my hands free, which is the important part. But again, it depends on each person's needs. I wanted one device to do everything, including remote desktop.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dscline:
I suppose if I could or wanted to wear cargo pants to every thing I did, that would be an option. It's rare (read: never) that I'm interested in sporting some kind accessory to carry my phone in. For those who are willing to dress around their phone, then sure, size isn't really an issue. May as well carry a full tablet around. Heck, you can make calls on a laptop if you want. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe_dude:
Yeah, 8-inch tab is about the biggest that can be held in one hand. Even then, it is a bit extreme. It's kinda like heading back to the days of carrying a ghetto blaster. Totally retro, man! :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derrtydee:
I agree. I've been a Samsung user for years, and I have to say that the gradual changes that they've made with the S series and now the Note series have been nothing but benefits. It's crazy, I didn't even know until recently that Samsung offers phones even larger than the Notes: the Mega has a 5.8 inch screen in diameter, and the second one in that series is at 6.3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
If you don't care about one handed use, and i don't, then the biggest practical phone is the one that still goes where your current phone goes.

I could easily go a bit bigger than the note 3. I know several girls who have the note 2 that carry the phone in their purse and there is no reason they couldn't go bigger as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LimitsX:
Hey!

So my M919V has LTE disabled..basically doesn't have under mobile network and network mode: "LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect)" .

I can't flash tmobile modem due to AUTH: Fail, and secure check fail.

I flashed stock, original i337M rom and it got me the LTE option: under mobile network and network mode: "LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect)" .

then I flashed back the original M919V stock rom. I have the "LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect)" option, but the rom naturally goes to "GSM/WCDMA (auto connect)" only, even though the LTE is present.

So, when i pick the LTE option and reboot phone, it switches back to GSM/WCDMA . How do I fix this, i want it to always stay at "LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect)".

Please help?

im on stock original windmoile 4.2.2 firmware - M919V .

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LimitsX:
lol Thank you for that, i figured it :D!

So, i wrote that i only see "Bell internet" APN only.

so im connected to "4G" my rom doesnt say LTE idk why. but i have to manually connect it, like i said in my original post. but it switches to just GSM/WCDMA one after I reboo my phone.

I want it to stay at LTE/GSM/WCDMA, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
The issue being why isn't the LTE setting locking in after Boot.

The LTE setting is there which you can manually set. But upon Reboot, you have to manually set it again?

Suggestion would be to ODIN Samsung Stock Firmware. Make sure the Firmware is for your ddevice.

ODINing back to stock will flash the stock ROM, Recovery, Kernel and Modem, and get you back to where you were prior to your issue.

If you're running a custom ROM/Recovery, install those afterwards.

But first see if your issues are resolved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LimitsX:
I am already on a original stock rom though :S .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I'm not sure, although I've read about this happening before. To clarify, it used to auto lock, but now it isn't. Can you remember if you made any changes prior to the issue appearing?

App installs, Kernel changes, etc.

I understand you're on stock now, but were any changes made which caused the issue, which prompted you to flash Stock Firmware, but the issue remained?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uk4uk:
Hi Folks, I hope this is posted in the right forum and sorry if I've missed seeing something similar already here.

I have a rooted Verizon GSIII on which I have been flashing custom ROMs and restoring nandroid backups without any problems for a while now (most recently I've been on Paranoid Android). Today I decided to try out Carbon ROM. I generated a nandroid backup using TWRP, then downloaded the ROM (the most recent nightly) and Gapps zip files using GooManager and flashed these after doing a factory reset. After rebooting the phone it seemed to start up OK... but it got as far as trying to find the network, which it unable to do. After selecting the skip option I then tried to sign in to my WiFi, but the keyboard didn't show up for me to type in the password. So I figured I'd cut my losses and just reboot into recovery and restore my PA backup. I was able to reboot into recovery and restore the backup but the PA backup pretty much did the same thing the carbon ROM did... just looped trying to find the network.

So... I'm not sure what went wrong or what to do next. Any suggestions???

I am able to boot the phone into recovery, but I'm afraid to start messing around too much without help as I'm no expert!

I do have the most recent nandroid backup and several earlier ones that did restore OK on my computer. Is there a way to flash any of these to the phone or to go back to stock?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi, I'm new here. I would like to just introduce myself so hi, I'm Troy.

Anyways, I have been romming/flashing/rooting for quite a while.

Coming from a Motorola Triumph, and now finally getting the Nexus 4.

Currently I am unlocked, rooted, and running the PAC rom.

Long story short, I feel like I haven't given anything back to the romming/flashing/rooting community,

and I figure you guys could always use another person. I'd like to get into buildings roms and such.

Where can I find tutorials on how to do pretty much everything that has to do with building roms?

Thanks ahead of time, have a good night!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MegaTerminatorz:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M from Koodo (Telus). And I wanted to get the latest 4.3 android on my phone, so I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2, and flashed my phone using that. I then realised that I didn't like the new display and wanted my old phone's display and firmware.

So I then proceeded to flash my phone with my Stock firmware using Odin 3.07. My phone didn't start up normally and is stuck on the part where the phone shows the Samsung logo. I can turn off the phone and boot into download mode, and I can access the recovery using Volume Up + Home + Power button. I have also tried to us the Firmware upgrade and initialization using Samsung Kies, but that doesn't change anything. Odin recognises my device, and Kies lets me flash using firmware emergency recovery, but I cannot open the files using the directory on my computer

At Odin Mode it shows the following:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337M

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

I backed up all my data prior to flashing using Cyanogenmod, so I don't care if I lose my data. (Also my constant flashing will definitely stop once I fix my phone). Is this phone soft bricked or hard bricked? How do I fix this? Thank you in advance. :)

Edit: I was also using Clockworkmod Recovery. AND YAY! I can actually boot into Android system recovery. Sorry, I simply was not holding the buttons correctly. Should I do a factory reset?
