[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I personally think people buy the Note-series for the wrong reasons. The only reason I owned a N2 (and soon an N3) is because I use S Pen/S Note, inking,, and multiview heavily. Those things require a screen at least as large as the Note's. If I didn't use those things I'd have a SGS4 or one of its competitors because lugging around a phablet isn't always fun. If you have decent size hands one-handed operation is workable but still not ideal.

Ask yourself these questions...

Do I want a larger display? - If yes, from a feature/performance/size perspective the N3's a great choice. If you're not in to S Pen/S Note or inking there are other large screen devices, both available and rumored, to consider that may have larger displays than the N3 or lower prices.

Am I moving to the N3 strictly for performance gains? - The Note-series phones have a lot going on under the hood. 3GB of RAM sounds fantastic but multiview and some of the other S Stuff are going to use a chunk of it. S-800's impressive but other smaller devices including the Nexus 5 and a possible LTE-A S-800 version of the SGS4 will be released with it too. So if you're hunting for performance the N3's a great choice but you may have other smaller-sized choices available soon. If you're going to root and run a non-TW ROM the performance of the N3 without Samsung's "features" should be impressive.

Am I creation/productivity user? - Used for what it's intended, there's nothing that competes with the Note-series. If you aren't currently using a device for creation/productivity but are in a creative line-of-work or do a lot of business communication and time management on your phone it might be worth exploring what the Note's features can provide. I have a Note 10.1 and N2 and would never own a non-Note device again. One man's opinion of course.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Another thing to consider when answering this question is the downside of having a Larger Display, is the size form factor of the phone itself.

Ask you self these questions:

4. How I'm going to carry this phone on a daily basis?

5. How easy/hard would it be for me to access the phone when I need to answer/make a call?

for me I'm still trying to answer #4, I have Notes 1 and it hasn't been easy, I still use my Galaxy S2 more than my Notes 1 because of this reason.

for answer #5 the Samsung Gear, that watch will finally solve my problem I've been having with the Notes 1, yes, i used Bluetooth before, but it wasn't the same, it was really hard to access the phone to look up things as it didn't quite fit in the usual pockets, specially if you are out in Shorts and T-shirts

at least with the Samsung Gear, no I can keep the Note 3 in arm pocket or something, and then use the Gear to do the basic stuff when i'm out biking on Shorts & Tshirt

which in a way solves the conodrum i was having with quesiton #4
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
It's funny you'd say that. A ton of people were pissed when it was confirmed the N3 was "only" going to have a 5.7" display. I was thrilled because the N2's size is the max I'd go for something whose primary purpose is a phone and the N3's actually smaller.

I think people play with a phablet in a store and think "it'll be fine." In addition to things you mentioned try to use one running through an airport trying to find a connecting gate. Or with only one hand free walking down the street. What seems "fine" in a store or speculatively changes real fast depending on your lifestyle.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsinni:
I'm going to upgrade from the S4. I actually don't mind the touch wiz that much I just don't think the S4 has enough juice to run it. I love the phone it just gets really hot when I'm playing games and the battery doesn't last me half a day.

Here is my thought process:

Size - S4 is already large so I already had to get used to changing the way I carry my phone

Battery - I can't get half a day out of my S4 in power save mode with features I would use turned off :(

Screen - I like as much screen size as I can get and I have trouble typing stuff out on smaller phones. I spend a lot of time correcting.

S Pen - This is something I actually really like, some might not care at all about it

RAM - More = better!

Storage - I got the 16GB S4 and didn't realize how little of it would be left. Without installing anything on my phone I'm at 9 GB with some games at 1-2 GB that is not enough space

I'm jumping from the S4 to Note 3. Can't wait!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammath:
I'm also ditching the s4 and getting a note 3.

Being a note 2 owner before the s4 I really regret selling my note 2!

I miss the big screen and tons of battery Life.

Also the s-pen makes it worth while for me.

The s4 is a good device but it doesn't fit my needs.

Can't wait till I get my note 3!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatpimp007:
I too will be making the change from a S4 to a Note 3. Main reason being the bigger screen and the ability to use the S-Pen. I had a Note 2 and sold that to get the S4. After a while, I just really started missing the bigger screen. Even with the smaller S4, I still found myself using two hands anyways. So for me it's really a "once you go big, you don't go back." Also I was able to sell my S4 for $500. Purchasing the Note 3 off-contract which is really the same as purchasing the phone on contract since it's a $225 difference or so between what I sold my S4 for and what I'm paying for the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
wow what awesome feedback!

so everyone seems to agree the biggest selling point is the S-Pen! what exactly does the S-Pen do? i thought the airview/air hover was supposed to the s4's version of the S-Pen, but airview and air hover are absolutely 100% useless in every possible way imaginable. all these features do are get in the way if youre trying to actually do something.. im positive everyone turned them off after the first few days.

so what does the S-Pen contribute?

i was hoping being able to hover over an area of a webpage would act the same way hovering a mouse does, where it brings dropdown menus, mouse hover features, toast popups, any java/flash/html5 features, and every other thing an on-screen mouse is used for. however samsung implemented none of this, and closesourced its hover features. theyre only used for gimmicky things like turning pages on the touchwiz launcher if you hold it a certain way.. -___________-"...

soo, S-Pen?? wutitdo?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeraphSephiroth:
I'll keep my S4. Having a larger phone would only be a hassle for my pockets. Plus I have small hands. My S4 will be my pick. I don't need a bigger phone...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muqali:
I missed the screen real estate going from the Note 2 to my S4. I have been anxiously awaiting the Note 3 to step back up to a good size screen. I don't agree that the S4 didn't need anything done to it, but I'm not a fan of all the bloat Samsung and the carriers include on these great pieces of hardware.

edit - For me the S-Pen is secondary. It just happens to be included in a great specced phone with a large screen. I'd gladly buy an identical model without the Pen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dumbo53:
The s-pen isn't the deciding factor for me, though I don't want to give it up either! (I have the Note 2). I use it every once in a while but not often. For me it's all about the screen size. I am one of those who wanted the N3 to be 6" or perhaps even bigger.

However there have been times when it was a bit larger than comfortable in the pocket - ie especially during sports. This was partly the weight, not the size - with loose trousers and big pockets it's worse. Still doable but not ideal; it's a trade off I am happy to make though. Hopefully the lesser weight of the N3 will mitigate that problem somewhat.

On the other hand I'm not considering other brands with larger phones because I think Samsung brings way more software-wise to the table - lots of new features each model, and the s-pen is perhaps the best example. For me the S4 would be too small after the Note 2.

I'm really looking forward to the upgrade as it appears that almost everything on the phone will be improved. Since I have an extra Att upgrade to use and it will cost effectively nothing, upgrading is a no-brainer. If I had to pay full price though I'd wait.

I think if I were you, I'd figure out which phone was the right size; the one I'd be most comfortable with most of the time. After all, feature wise they're pretty close. Both are great devices. (Sorry for long response...)

One thing I haven't seen people taking about is signal strength.

Maybe it's just me but when I went from the Note to the SGS 3 I noticed a big drop in signal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekoRngear:
There are already two detailed (p)reviews from phonearena and gsmarena. The former stated the new s-pen features and the latter described them comparatively more in-depth.

Links:

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-Preview_id3423/page/2

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_3_preview-review-986p4.php

So, we got a new pen window to start these fresh new things to enhance the multitasking:

Action Memo

Srapbooker

Screen write

S Finder

These are already been mentioned by knowledgeable and assumption-expert member(s) like [MENTION=1493949]BarryH_GEG[/MENTION] earlier in the general threads. Demo'ed in those vids too.

I am using s3 for a li'l over a year and I find s-pen along with these new features (with varying degrees) interesting.

For an S4 (i9500) user it should be exciting to have the exynos variant. Because now the exynos 5420 has HMP support which will never be possible for i9500 s4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoNL:
I really don't understand the OP's question

GNote2 owners doubting to upgrade to the Note3 is understandable, however ..

The S4 is a PHONE while the Note3 is a PHABLET, with S-pen capabilities ...the choice is totally personal

Correct me if I'm wrong .....:eek:

Edit: Not to mention the fact that somebody already started a thread just like this one a couple of days ago ....what a mess ....

What you need

I have the note phone my wife has the s4 for me I think it comes down to screen size and do you news the s pen, the note 3 is a bit bigger but if you don't news the s pen then I would go on cost.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abra_Cadabra:
Planning to make the switch for one main reason - battery life.

I really like the S4 - works great, just the right size/weight and I never really did make much use of the stylus when I had the note 2. However the battery life is crap compared to the note 2. Admittedly, I am a very heavy user - tons of e-mail and lots of calls, lots of time on Press (plus the occasional Candy Crush marathon :laugh:) - I really miss not having to plan around a mid-day charge.

If they would come out with an s4-max type thing, I'd be all over it. For now it's back to the note on the 25th for me.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

With the s4 at 5 inches and the GNote less than an inch bigger, I don't think it's unreasonable to compare the two. There are a lot of people including myself considering the switch.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
No point in any critical view :) S4 rocks and so will N3. Nice there is no 16gb option now. That is getting less practical as time goes by and Verizon would of course choose the 16gb over a 32gb.

I still prefer the easier one hand operation of the S4, but could easily spin in my mind about the N3. It would be better for everything but the phone and text function. I know I would drop it trying to use with one hand. Creature of habit of well over a decade of using cell phones with one hand.
[Asus Transformer TF700] borgmanjayce:
I damaged my microSD slot in the tablet by accident a while back and as a result, whenever I try to put one in, it won't stay in at all.

I'm looking at getting the problem fixed as my tablet is running slow with all the apps installed on it and I have insurance that covers accidental damage and I was wondering would it be easier to have it fixed through my insurer or should I get try and get it fixed under warranty even though the tablet is rooted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Rooting doesn't matter, but if you damaged the slot by dropping it or something like it, it's not covered under manufacturer warranty. Go with your insurance.

Thanks a lot for your help. I found the method to restore the stock rom. However am facing a wierd problem. Every time I try to copy the UPDATE.APP to the dload folder, it proceeds up to half and then gets stuck. After sometime I get an error message saying " Cannot move UPDATE.APP: The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected"

I have tried a dozen time and the same thing happens over and over again. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

UPDATE: Seriously I sometimes believe machines have a mind of there own with their own mood swings or something. I had copied the UPDATE.APP in the sdcard dload folder but was not able to copy it on the internal drive. Earlier when I tried rebooting to recovery for installing the rom it didn't work and I thought it was cause the UPDATE.APP was not in the internal storage. After much tinkering I finally did a factory reset and then rebooted into recovery again and somehow IT WORKED. From what I think, I guess it wasn't working earlier due to the CWM but i have no idea!!! Any thanks a million for your help!!!

Hi! I just want to ask if its ok to root my factory locked i9505 using CF Autoroot. I got it from a carrier here in the philippines. Im also on baseband MG5

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickentuna:
Yes. I have stock MG5(Globe firmware) and rooting with the latest CF-Root works just fine. Just take note that rooting will trigger your flash binary counter and Device status will be "Custom" therefore voiding your samsung warranty. However there is a way of resetting all that and keep your root as well as warranty. Just search for triangle away for more info.

Good Luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodymhyr:
Did you use triangle away already?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickentuna:
Yes. It works fine on the MG5 firmware. My binary is "Samsung Official" and my device status is "Official" on Download Mode. Device status is official on the settings menu as well.

I've kept my root without factory resetting after using Triangle Away. Although you may need to do a factory reset after using it to get official status
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodymhyr:
How come i got custom device status on settings? What will i do to return it to official?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodymhyr:
Btw i also got official on download mode after using triangle away. My flash counter is also 0. The only thing that annoys me is that i have a custom device status on settings. What should i do?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickentuna:
Tick system modified workaround then reboot. Again you may need to do factory reset if after rebooting it still shows custom status.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Downloaded7:
Hi everyone :),

I got my Nexus 4 yesterday and I love it! Before I got the phone I did a bunch of research on loading custom ROM's and kernels, and even pre downloaded everything so when it arrived I could start tinkering right away. At the moment it seems Paranoid Android is an ideal ROM for me, as it strikes a nice balance between simplicity and customization. However, it seems that the Matr1x kernel doesn't run well on it due to the JSS/JWR incompatibility issue that came about with Android 4.3. I'd like to run the Matr1x kernel because it has a great balance between performance and battery life, and does some fancy GPU over clocking/CPU undervolting for you that I am too afraid to do on my own.

I found a zip file on the xda forums that remedies the incompatibility issue and allows Matr1x v11 and PA 3.99.1 to run together without issue. So my questions are these:

1. Is there any risk in using this JWR/JSS zip patch? Finding it was a pain in the butt and not many people have commented on its quality or where it comes from. Is it safe?

2. PA's gapps package has a bunch of G+ stuff included that I don't care about. Is there a way to remove it like in some of the slim gapps packages?

3. Has anyone else encountered a static hiss/ticking coming from their earpiece? It can only be heard faintly when the device is up to my ear but it's a little frustrating all the same. Is there a fix for this? Does the device's warranty cover it?

4. Finally, I have one thing I am confused about regarding rooting etc: I have CWMod installed on my phone and I have unlocked my bootloader. By unlocking my bootloader, have I also rooted my phone?

Thanks so much for your time!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
1. Should be safe, as long as you have a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong.

2. You just delete the apks from the gapps zip. (system/app)

3. Haven't heard of it. Hope someone else has a solution.

4. Well, no. The term "Rooted" only applies to ROMs, when you have a superuser app and binary installed (Supersu, superuser etc.). But, you are just one step from rooting (Flashing the supersu zip).

All custom ROMs are already rooted, so you don't worry about that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Downloaded7:
Gotcha, thanks very much for the help. So there's no threat of some 12 year old stealing my credit card if I use that JWR/JSS patch zip?

Thanks again!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
I think it may not work. It has Adreno 200 and MSM8960 libs in it, a GPU and CPU that have nothing to do with the N4's APQ8064 and Adreno 320. You can still try, because they most certainly don't do any "stealing credit card" stuff.
