[Moto X Q&A] wsbuck:
Is there anyway to have active display always show up as my main lockscreen every time i click the power button?
[Moto X Q&A] modulusshift:
Nah, just get used to triggering it if you need it. I hardly ever find myself needing to use the normal lockscreen, personally, I just sort of adapted. If I want the screen to turn on without picking up the phone, I move it a half-inch to the left, and Active Display pops on. Of course it's already on when I take it out of my pocket, or pick it up. Never had a need to activate it any other way.
[Moto X Q&A] _MetalHead_:
Same here. I never use the power button to turn my phone on, the active notification screen turns on quite literally every time I go to use my phone. It's brilliant.
[Moto X Q&A] 1eli:
Combined with a turn screen off widget/app and a mute widget/app, I never use any buttons on this phone.
[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
You can do what I did and disable lockscreen completely. That way only active notifications will show when you pick up the phone.

[LG Optimus 2x] JUMPhil:
Today I downloaded the latest German stock ROM (700 MB) just to get this little thing (8 MB). So I thought, maybe save somebody the trouble and share it. The V30A Germany Baseband (see attachment). Flash it with AIO-Toolkit (option 7).

It is recommended to use a baseband which was made for your country/phone. So Germans (with ICS/JB) should probably use this one.

Check with your IMEI which baseband (ROM) you would normally receive:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI (Replace IMEI at the end of the URL with your IMEI - it's under your battery.)
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
Hummmmm...here you are Germany BaseBand v30B

You have the complete firmware on my signature!!...
[LG Optimus 2x] JUMPhil:
There is no V30B for Germany. Not even for Europe Open. I don't know where you got that from.

http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=3
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
OK! ... If you say so!! ...

[LG Optimus 2x] sgspluss:
In germany we have a v30B but only for vodafone but you can use it as normal with every provider ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] JUMPhil:
This is most probably V30B Spain, as that's the only Vodafone V30B ROM available. There are no Vodafone ROMs for Germany or Europe.

We have a thread for that baseband already.
[LG Optimus 2x] JUMPhil:
Where? How do you get it from LG?

You can also use a Chinese baseband in Germany. But that's not recommended.
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
No. .. they are different, as you yourself can observe through the LINK I posted!

But for me everything is perfect ... I use v30B Germany and I am Very Happy with it ...:D

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

I used for a long time baseband v30B India and never had problems!

My LG has always worked perfectly and without any errors ...but, obviously, was certainly not recommended by the brand! Which is not equivalent to say no funcion as well or even better?!...:good:
[LG Optimus 2x] JUMPhil:
The firmware is not available from your link. But I downloaded your attachment and compared it to my V30A Germany and Vodafone V30B Spain.

V30A Germany is completely different to yours. Vodafone V30B Spain has exactly the same size of 8,351,116 bytes like yours, but has a different MD5 for me.

I was also always using basebands from Korea or such. There were always problems for me, but I can't allocate them. But I think if you flash the baseband that the manufacturer would flash on your phone, you're on the safe side.
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
Strange!?! ... Now I just check LINK's and everything is fine!

As for the firmware, it is possible that the Baseband's are identical in size, but the firmware is different in all ... I think the v30B Spain is higher than v30B Germany ... now I'm at work and can not see it .

I know I've posted something like that, I'll see if I find the post and inform.

How to flash baseband one another Country, I do not say that you're right there, on the contrary, what is certain is that I never had problems.

Hi Friends

Here you will find all the firmware LG

Does the v30b bb fix the bsod problem when plugging the phone into USB while screen is off? V30A works perfectly for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
Again????!...OMG...WTF!!...

ENABLE 2nd core!!!!!...On KKernel setup.

[LG Optimus 2x] mas2112:
Thanks for repeating this for me. My Google search didn't find me this info!

Let me reiterate this so it's easier for people to search for this info.

So if you get a BSOD (Black Screen of Death) or crash when plugging in your phone (LG Optimus 2x P990) to your PC computer USB port, and you have the Kowalski Kernel (KK) installed, the solution is to turn on or enable 2nd core auto hot plug in the Kowalski Manager.

And so more info. I have the WM5.0 ROM and followed the instructions, load MTTY hit enter and up pops the CMD> prompt type l c:\john.bin being the filename of the ROM (where should this be saved, locally in C:\ on my drive) and all I get is this error message:

Having done various searches and reading some posts I can't really work out what the problem is. If someone could point me in the right place to either read something or tell me I would be very grateful.

My SPV is the one with the version 10 media player.

Many thanks, John

Okay,

Some folks have had the phone for about 24hrs.

What things do you absolutely hate about the phone?

What is disappointing about it?

What will you mod on the phone?

And what about the phone would you like to walk up to the design team and give them a great big kick in the crotch about???

•	Not a big enough bump technology wise from the Note 2

•	Poor Radio's

•	The speaker. Wish it had dual speakers

•	The back cover not feel like leather

•	Small notification light

•	Knox security

•	Gets hot when stressing the device

•	Screen Gap

•	Battery Drain

•	Region Locking

•	Only 4 columns on home screen

•	Bezel size

•	Bloat ware from carrier

•	Headphone jack is said to be excellent

•	Rooting to mod the battery indicator

•	Long press the on the soft menu button will run S –Finder not Google Now

•	* Lack of Custom roms

•	* Lack of custom kernels

•	* Locked bootloader

•	* Ease of the ability to root

* Designates TBD

There are also quite a few complaints about the polycabonate build material of this phone.

Whether this is a reasonable complaint or not is up for debate. If you purchased this phone without reading about the plastic body or without demo-ing the phone beforehand. Then I think that responsibility resides with the consumer for not doing any research about this piece of technology.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] starfighter1106:
What things do you absolutely hate about the phone?

The speaker. The speaker is much better than my old galaxy s3, but i'd really liked it if they had put in dual speakers. Luckily i don't use the speakers that often, but it still bothers me, although i knew it before buying the phone obviously.

I also really dislike the very small Notification light. The light in my S3 was much bigger.

What is disappointing about it?

I thought the back of the phone would feel like actual leather, but it doesn't. It's still better than my galaxy s3, but i much preferred the metal feel of my Desire HD.

I'm also disappointed that there doesn't seem to be any place to buy the samsung accessories in my country, they don't even have the phone added to the danish version of the samsung website, but i'll have to wait for it to be released, i just usually like to get the case with the phone.

What will you mod on the phone?

I'll root it when that becomes available, and install cyanogenmod(Or something in that category) when i get tired of touchwiz.

And what about the phone would you like to walk up to the design team and give them a great big kick in the crotch about???

The small notification light & the speakers. Possible adding a metal back, but not at the cost of a removable back.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jamal Ahmed:
What is the point of this thread in a newly released phone's forum? people just bought their phone and you are trying to get them to remember buyer's remorse. There really isn't any point in it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigmout:
The point of this thread is to catalog any problems people are having with their phones, so others contemplating a purchase can have more information. Personally, I appreciate it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] physicsguymatt:
I'm very much interested in this thread and it's a very good question.

There a ton of love for the N3, but I also want to know what people don't like. Starfigher's issues would not be my issues, but it's good to know what bothers people and see if it is a global issue or just someone's personal preferences.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] clninja:
Back off. This is a useful thread
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dan37tz:
Agreed. Good thread, I am also very interested in what people dislike about the Device.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoneXDA:
We already have threads covering all this, visit them so owners don't have to type it down again.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] asaqwert:
I appreciate it to...what I really want to know is how the dev support is going to be for the exynos version...and how well it works especially the octa core system and it's switching ability
[Galaxy Note 3 General] billf2b:
I also like this thread. Problems can be a separate issue than likes/dislikes. Although I won't get my phone for a few days, I appreciate the feedback others are giving, both positive and negative.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] belutz:
I just got my N9000 today.

What things do you absolutely hate about the phone?

Knowing that this phone might be hard to customize because of Knox.

What is disappointing about it?

Long press on the soft menu button will run S-Finder not Google Now like in my Note II.

S-View Cover Wireless not available yet!

What will you mod on the phone?

Root it and mod the battery indicator. Basically, I will mod the touch wiz to make it look like in my Note II

And what about the phone would you like to walk up to the design team and give them a great big kick in the crotch about???

Wish it has dual speaker on the bottom
[Galaxy Note 3 General] grifter9931:
The reason why I made the thread is to have a single thread where early adopter could voice their pleasure or displeasure with particular aspects of the phone. As a Hobbyist/Prosumer you have to remember not all consumers are as phone or forum savvy as many of "YOU" are, when it comes to searching or finding out things about any phone.

So the idea behind this was to give a rundown of what people disliked and from there if they so choose to research it even more, they would have a few search terms to use in order to the using the "SEARCH" feature on the forum much easier. I will periodically update my original post with bullet points as it warrants with new found dislikes etc..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigmout:
Ugh. No way to disable that without rooting?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] grifter9931:
I will visit them and update my original post with I can find or understand as a gripe that isn't telecom or user error related.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jah:
And there are many good reviews and information available so most buyers should know what they are buying and in most countries you can return the device. Pointless thread.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cybriks:
Nah. Wouldn't say so. Generally speaking, I trust members of xda more than random reviewers whose agenda I don't know.

Just as a starter: if I had known about this Knox - thingy, I might not have bought the N3. I read many reviews - but when I made the decision to buy the device, none of those were talking about Knox at all.

Install Apex (or a similar launcher), which lets you customize what long-pressing the menu button does. For example, I have mine set to open up Contacts.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chrisn0123:
Love everything, but the speaker! Its crap!!!

I'm working on a volume boost though..just as I found for the Note 2. Phone is now rooted..so should be able to edit settings!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jaaystott:
I absolutely love my Note 3, but there are some issues!

- The Magazine thing that you can open by swiping up, seems very laggy and almost like a web interface app.

- The speaker! The Note is supposed to be a home media device, the least they could've done is included a decent speaker on it!

- When you plug in headphones and you get the 'recommended apps' that does not disappear even if you are using one of them.

- Mine has a slight screen gap, and purple tint to the screen.. nothing to warrant taking it back though.

- DO NOT PUT IT FLAT DOWN, SCREEN UP WITHOUT A CASE ON! The Camera bezel on the black edition rubs off, even on soft surfaces!

- Battery seems to be all over the place at the moment, I still get a days usage but it's not perfect. Probably just settling in though.

This is the undisputed king of Android at the moment. It kicks every other phone ass, trust me, I have had the S4, the S3, and HTC One, The Xperia Z1 and no other phone has come close to capturing me like this one! She's a keeper :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deny_winarto:
- Battery drains faster than i thought

- Phone UI instead of Tablet UI, coming from 7.7 everything feels like cramped and limited,

though i might get used too it, wish they gave us option to switch between tablet and phone UI

After looking around there's no way to change it without rooting the device :(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Zuber:
Loving mine so far.

Dislikes:

Magazine. Social doesn't include facebook ? Why bother...

Password locked only allows Action Memo. Would have liked camera access for example. Not view pics from before, but still take pics...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] magichoward:
Wish I stayed with my note 2

Speaker poor. Knox plus other bloat ware and Kies not even syncing yes is a disgrace. Battery life at t he moment way less than my note 2 hope that improves .I can't get my money back .The camera on the dark is terrible .scrolling is the same speed or less than note 2 .my auto dimmer not as good as note 2

Sure there's a couple of minor improvement but the negatives are unacceptable
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stevejau:
Coming from the note 2 I find the Note 3 a huge improvement.

Actually feels smaller and has a nicer feel than the 2.

Whislt this is not the phone itself Android 4.3 is great

The pen is good, and the fact you get spare tips.

USB 3 is great as well as having the ability to use all my old usb cables.

The speaker issues people say does not bother me, as i use headphones if i listen to music on the phone anyways, and a good set of headphones is the way to go.

The phone itself is a phone and does the job very well.

A few quick and easy software mods has made the phone work the way I want it too.

Everybody will have their own views and opinions on what they like and do not like. but for me the note 3 is very very good.

Battery life is acceptable, but like any mobile device you always wish it had more juice, that is a fact of electronic device life.

In a nutshell i give the note 3 a 4 out of five for MY needs.

Cheers

Steve
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WLPDroid:
KNOX shouldn't be relevant in your decision. If you are not rooted, the S4 and Note 2 will have it next month anyways.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bkeaver:
I laugh every time someone says this. Me coming from a note 2 gets just as good battery life. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dnanj:
The Crooked Home Button issue sealed the deal for me. Love the phone...but I think I'm gonna wait until Samsung addresses this. Other than that...I'm ticked off at AT&T for packaging the phone in their cheap orange boxes and skimping on the headphones.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] seoulbrova:
I'm not really understanding the people who say they wish they had kept the Note 2.

The screen alone is worth the upgrade. Looking at the Note 2 screen after using the Note 3 is night and day. The Note 2 screen looks grainy.

Second, hand feel is exceptionally better. It feels more premium and the backing is way better than the glossy plastic. This part may be subjective, but the screen is not.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
But you didnt own the G2 haha!

But seriously whats up with those damn speakers? I hear too many complains about it being subpar so it must be true. Samsung f***ed it up on this 1 for real.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jaaystott:
Very true. In regards to the speaker, it's one of the first things I noticed.. but to be honest now I've been using it a few days I don't notice it. In the morning when I wake up and I'm playing on my phone in bed, I sometimes play music. At first it sounded tinny and pardon my language; ****. After a while though I guess I've got used to it, and though lacking bass and high in distortion at loud levels, it's not that bad. It is, however, completely stupid to include that group play thing!

I guess the G2's software didn't appeal to me, but in the UK it's the same price as the HTC One (£480) so I guess looking back on it, it would make sense from a money point of view. I guess I'm just not ready to put my trust in LG.

Yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
I hear you. I heard very good things about that phone, i'm expecting my note 3 tomorrow or wednesday. If i'm disappointed then at least i know which phone im getting next :p

But its a shame that a multimedia device like the Note 3 gets subpar speakers. I wonder when will we get a device that has zero compromises. Great performance, great battery life, great sound, nice size screen, great features, great call quality, great camera, great build quality. Many devices come close, like the Note 3 and HTC One but none seems to be able to hit all the points. I guess a perfect phone does not exist. yet :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jaaystott:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] force70:
I wouldn't say its bad per se but I was expecting better..note 2 and s4 have better sounding and louder speaker. Note 3 is the flagship device so I suppose most of us set our expectations high.other than sound and my loose/crooked home button and not being able to use any apps to backup my bookmarks I love the device.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Never.

They'll not sell a single other phone when they do, plus it would cost you around $2000.

Terrible marketing idea, not going to happen. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fade2black101:
I appreciate the contributions to this thread as it has made me decide to stay with my Note II. I'm not on contract so would cost a pretty penny getting the Note 3, and it just doesn't seem worth it.

Luckilly I predicted this and opted for the LTE version of the Note II back in January.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
Terrible marketing idea? I disagree because tech advances so fast that you could have the best phone out for a few months and next thing you know another OEM dethrones you.

The Note 3 is a device that is trying to do everything, it even has an "answer" for blinkfeed. So samsung tried to make the best device but sadly it comes up short in a couple of things, speakers, my magazine is very laggy and UI has some slight stutter but i hear its not a big deal. I personally dont own the device yet, i should have it by wednesday and i'll give a thorough written review and how it compares to other flagship phones out there like the S4, One and 5s. I do believe that this is the best phone you can get on the market right now and im not surprised by all the scrutiny it is receiving on these forums.

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Not from this video its not and i'm pretty sure i'll be fine with it. But too many users and reviewers have complained about this so we cannot not acknowledge it.

What i find weird is that many folks are saying that touchwiz still has a few hiccups but that the phone is blazing fast and performs like a champ. i watched many reviews as well and they say the same thing. Kinda like a contradiction to me. Is it fast and performs like a champ or does it stutter?

Yes of course the note 2 is still a great device by any measure. Just because the note 3 is better it doesn't change that fact.

There are none as of now, thats what we were discussing on the previous page. But that can also be subjective to a certain point. One can say that the size of the Note 3 is a compromise and someone else says otherwise.
