All According to you nice fail.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ryland Johnson:
I don't know what burr you have in your butt regarding my posts but....

My comment on the box was to illustrate the lack of thought on the part of Samsung in terms of presentation. What is wrong with their past box covers, just a simple box with a white cover and a photo of said device on the front. The paper wood effect just makes a cheap statement.

I guess you are from the USA as you appear to come across as aggressive and a bully trying to force your opinions on others, close your ears and assume what you write is fact rather than opinion? What my nationality has to do with my posts I have no idea but as you mentioned it I feel a response is required.

Now, we have established you DONT own a Gear yet you debate it. Do you actually own a note 3? It is usually empty cans that make the most noise as in your case.

I suggest you stop trying to stifle debate and accept this is a public forum meant for debate, support and advice. Maybe for the sake of other users we should start to ignore each others posts?

I like your avatar:rolleyes:

I like pretty much everything about the phone other than the lag that happens every now and again. I read a lot reviews that stated that this issue had been resolved but to my shock it still persist and is super annoying and coming from a Nexus 4 makes it even more noticeable.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigmout:
To clarify, what precisely do you mean by lag? Could you give some examples? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fonejacker:
Ha Ha ... Regional locking is not a real issue! What utter bull !

Various Samsung customers are reporting their phones locking out sims and must now pay 100 roaming costs up to a hundred times the local sim charge when on business or holiday.

The average buyer was not to have known that local sims in foreign regions would be blocked when;

Not a mention at all from any reviewers of the Note 3,

Not any mention from Samsung, and

Not a squeak from the sellers.

Funny how the seller advises of phones now being returned for refund due to this region locking fiasco.

With your logic I guess no complaints are allowed about the new Note.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
There's an issue with some SIMs from Asia not working in EU phones that have been properly activated using a correct EU SIM. It's a technical issue, not a moral one. Unless you believe that Samsung EU made statements on the public record that were basically lies. If that's true they have bigger issues than people not understanding region lock or having isolated issues with it. The EU governing bodies will have a field day with Samsung and the fines will cost more than anything gained limiting grey market sales (which is the goal of region lock). Believe what you choose but please keep it to the God awful thread region lock's being discussed in.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] asaqwert:
This whole thing is retarded.... Use a local Sim or call Samsung and get an unlock code and stop whining it isn't problem it is something they did on other phones and will do again in the future.... It's still better than dealing with am iPhone and bring limited in all those ways
[Galaxy Note 3 General] systoxity:
wow. Respect.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
You ought to learn how to read more than just the first two lines of an article, then.

I've warned people here about the Region Lock, and they told me it wasn't real and it wasn't here. Now, no more than a few weeks later, everyone whines about a Region Lock. Excuse me if I can't feel sorry for the idiots who refused to listen.

It's also incorporated in the firmware of the S3, S4, S4 mini and Note 2. Which I have mentioned as well, for weeks, several times. Before Samsung made the official statement saying exactly that!

And still, nobody listens and everyone acts all shocked. I WARNED YOU LOT. :mad:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fonejacker:
I must give you credit for your advance warning about the region lock.

I wish I had registered earlier to this forum and read it before my first android purchase. :(

Apart from region locking I think the phone is a well designed package. :)

Bag of crazy..

An entire gigantic bag of crazy is about to be unleashed upon the interwebs....

It should be an Epic, Epic week and half...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shaungregg:
I've had the HTC One, S4, G2 and got my daughter the 5S. This is my first Note and right off the bat I can say there isn't one thing I don't like about the phone, it flies and is much faster than the G2 which lagged both in games but even more noticeably just scrolling in settings. Had to turn off all animations on the G2. Phone doesn't look cheap at all, no it doesn't have the look of the One or 5S but aside from those two it is easily the best looking phone available from the big 4 carriers. I really like the fake leather and the feel of it as well, still I will get a case immediately just as I do for all my phones but this one looks so good that it will get the clear case like I had on my Htc One so I can admire its looks.

Oh and its so thin and light that I forget its in my pocket and I'm 5'10 155 pounds 32 inch waist and I wear slim fit jeans every day. I also never keep a phone in my pocket when I sit down, that just seems stupid to me like not unbuttoning a suit jacket before sitting.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] caldwelljt:
SCREEN SIZE... ok, so I everyone I have met keeps commenting on how LARGE my screen is... but i'm coming from a Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800... (Which, screen wise, I loved, except for the sub 1080 res)... Even though I KNEW ahead of time I was going to be frustrated, I bit the bullet and bought it... Ever since the box arrived and it (the box), with packaging and everything, was smaller, I've had this pit in my stomach that I wasted near $800....

Despite that, i've forced myself ahead, and i'm slowly (ever so slowly) adapting... Even though my old phone could fit in some of my pockets, it's nice this one fits in every pocket... it's nice I can actually hold and operate it in one hand... it's nice that I can connect to a PC and see "more" with the higher res...

And I keep doing stuff that I couldn't on my old phone... If someone actually made a 7 or 8 inch "phone" or "phablet" that would run anywhere near this fast, i'd seriously jump on it (at almost any price)... but alas, no one does..

That all aside, I do really hate the cheap plastic, a little more than I thought I would... and I am really disappointed by the faux leather back... My hope is that since it is a standard removable cover (unlike the p6800's), I'll be able to swap it out with something after-market, that I like..

Heck, maybe someone will even make a nice metal back for it...

Umm... other than that, my only other complaints are the stuff that happens with the bleeding edge phones... limited mods, etc... but this thing is so dang fast, and given the push behind it, I expect there to be a lot of stuff for it in the near future...

Oh, based on the materials, and the likely demand, I'm really expecting another gotcha/bummer is that this thing will drop in cost/value really fast... could be wrong, but that's my guess..

Cheers!:D

KICKSTAND.

It needs a metal kickstand that will act as the antenna and boost the reception strength.

The kickstand should also cover the camera, so that it protects it from scratches.

Another good idea would be to have the camera on the phone's bottom.

That way, when the kickstand does open... it can hold the phone upright in portrait mode (flat bottom needed too).

Please research a little before b****ing about something. Your micro USB cable still is usable in the USB 3.0 port. It plugs into the right side of the USB 3 port.

Dumbest post all day lmao
[Galaxy Note 3 General] on2a:
The USB 3 slot still accepts Micro USB cables
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DMax99:
Never used usb 3 before... No thanks for you though Lol...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Brava27:
Me neither. I just read before and plugged in old cable!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DMax99:
Why would you use the old cable instead of the new one?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PaulGG:
Tested Next Launcher, works great all S pen Functions, plus Widgets working. Videos on youtube at 4dogstech.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MohJee:
What are you talking about... micro USB port is still there.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bkeaver:
How about because of using a car charger or desktop charger or somewhere where you didn't bring your usb 3.0 cable with you. Do you carry the cable where ever you go?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Patbach:
For me it's just touchwiz, I'm used to have 6x6 homescreen, widgets everywhere (in an ordered fashion). But, now I'm stuck with 4x4 screen.. I started doing folders to keep thing ordered..

It's just stupid, I'm out of homescreen space, on this huge thing...

I don't want to go back to Apex/Nova launchers because I'll loose some functions like the multitasking or the s-pen stuff.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MohJee:
Have you actually tried or you're just assuming? You should not lose these features using a third party launcher.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] force70:
No micro usb...that was funny.

I find the speaker isnt as loud as my s4 or note 2. My home button is loose as well and sits crooked at time.

Its going back monday...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MohJee:
I think that's the case with all of them. Note home button is not a tight fit as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Maverick777:
I'm using Nova Prime and I can still use multiwindow and S pen functions just fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chdrummerdude:
Using nova as well still have all my functions. If you disable all the bloat with stock launcher then use nova it makes for a really clean experience.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DMax99:
Yeah I always have 2 spare ones. One on the car and another in my bag. I'm going to do the same with this usb 3 cable ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wudien:
My first 24 hours with the Note 3:

The battery life isn't impressive. It's quite mediocre, but this is likely due to the bloat ware, thanks at&t, and all of Samsungs junk.

The screen is beautiful but I have noticed the purple tint with low brightness. Not really a deal-breaker.

The speaker is loud when turned up though seems tinny.

The phone feels good in the hand though a bit slippery. The plastic doesn't disappoint. It seems light.

I can't turn off 4G in settings. Grrr. Have to dial help *#*#4636#*#*

Stuttering exists, though usually just when you're installing something. 1080p playback is flawless. Adventure time looks gorgeous on AMOLED.

The camera is great with proper lighting. Poor in dim environments.

The touchscreen doesn't recognize the S Pen as lightly as I would like.

I pray AT&T gets root soon. I want access greenify, adblock, and gmd gesture controls like no one's business.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Girn:
You can make the pen more sensitive. Look for a guide on Google
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mi7chy:
I have a Note 3 on pre-order but realize that I'm perfectly happy with the Note 2 since everything and all the apps installed are stable and smooth working. With the Note 3 there's likely to be some teething period to stabilize some apps like XBMC, bleeding edge games, etc. And, with the Note 2's future proofing such as 2GB DRAM it's easily capable for another few years. Will this change my decision on the Note 3 pre-order? No, as I'll likely own both as collector's items.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.m0x:
My early feeling is that the note 2 still has better screen on time but the note 3 may have better standby time. We shall see

[Galaxy Note 3 General] DareDevil01:
The Speaker mostly! And KNOX!!!!

DON'T LIKE:

-I like the fact that they moved the speaker to the bottom rather than the back but the speaker on the Note 2 is much more pleasant, better clarity on the treble and has more bass presence! That was disappointing as when I show videos to my friends, that's what counts I think.

-Knox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I permanently void my warranty for wanting to software mod my phone???? What a joke!!!!!!

-No Wolfson audio dac, the quality is fine, but it's quite, and because it doesn't use a Wolfson chip I can't install Voodoo or Boeffla.

-The back isn't as premium as I thought it was going to be, but in saying that, I knew it wasn't real leather and it seems to be of good build strength

LIKE:

-The speed is fantastic! When I use the pen in Sketchbook Pro there's no lag at all!

-The camera seems to be a good improvement over the Note 2, I really like the 4K video and 120FPS at 720P

-Even though I was disappointed about the quality of the build compared to what I thought it was going to be, having it in my hand it's still really good. Compared to the Note 2, the phone is nice and rigid, it has a good strong feel in the hands while keeping pretty light.

-The screen!!! The 1080p screen on the Note 3 is crazy! It's sooo bright when it needs to be and there's plenty of real-estate and it still fits in my pocket.

-
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.m0x:
The Knox thing sucks but it's no worse than what Htc have been doing to their customers for the last couple of years - having to use a tool to unlock the boot loader which flags your warranty as void with htc. I hope they won't deny any warranty issue if it's a genuine hardware fault and that it's more to stop people doing silly things and then crying wolf. Examples of silly include flashing a rom for a different variant or overclocking so hard the phone dies. Samsung should not have to honour a warranty in cases like this but if it's genuine e.g. a faulty hardware button they should hopefully come to the party.

Don't think I'll root this time personally. I can't really think of anything root related that I must have. There wasn't even much I needed to do to the Note 2, only must have was so that I could symlink data to the external sd card. The 10 gb space available to the user just got chewed up way too fast by apps. Now I have 25gb available and I'm just plain stoked.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] DefiantMenace:
I am returning my phone tomorrow. Not because it isnt a good phone, which it is....its because the note 2 that I already have is a good phone as well. I'm on tmobile and for me to have to the note 3 its 708$ before tax. So after taxes...screen protector and case its almost a grand for the phone.

The issues that I had, that really tipped the scales to returning it(besideds price) are....

The damn thing is not a thousand dollars worth of quality. When texting or handling the phone it creaks and feels cheap, it really makes noise as you are using it. I know it may have just been the one I had, but honestly I think its just not as solid as the note 2.

Also on the bottom of the phone where the back cover meets the charging port, the lip is like a f*&cking razor blade LOL The design right there is especially terrible, I think if you use a case it wont be a biggie but with out it was constantly annoying.

I had several issues with what I assumed was the software. When hitting the power button sometimes it would turn off, sometimes it would take a second or two. This wasn't terrible because even though the phone was still on the screen was not responsive to touch. I still had issues with lag, especially when using gallery. I have dropbox and picassa synced to it so there is a lot to process but I figured with the specs the lag would be zero and it wasn't.

The audio out through the headphone jack was not great, I thought the note 2 had better sound quality.

LED notification light is small and not particularly bright compared to the note 2

Lastly I couldn't believe that I still could not kill the damn -screen on- function when receiving a text, to me that is super annoying.

So if I didnt have the note 2 I would not feel bad about buying the note 3, however I just couldn't justify it.

Hi, i just want to share something i did for my self, and i use it for a while without problems or bug's or..

It's a Extended power Menu and some Toggles for STOCK ICS B.1.100 Xperia U.

Xperia U its the only device i have so i don't know if it will work with Sola, P or ...

Make a backup of your original files before flashing.

Boot in to CWM, wipe cache partition(that's all i did) and flash the mod you want.

AND.... if you brick your phone its ONLY YOUR fault.

Here you go :)

Power menu

Toggles

All in one mod

Credits

@ everyone on xda for the toggles

@ me... :)

Edit: since im using locked bootloader stock ics u, the "reboot to recovery" doesn't work on cwm touch v5.5.0.4. but it works just fine with cwm v.6.0.1.2

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
[MENTION=4753054]bcik[/MENTION] did you flash the "all in one" or .. ?? im asking because grrish had a problem.

[MENTION=4872119]grrish[/MENTION] i have tested a lot the individual zips, but not the "all in one", but still i don't really think that there is something wrong with it, its the same script and the same files..

Maybe you can try to wipe dalvik cache too.. before flashing, but it should wipe the dalvik automatically when you reboot the phone after flashing.

So.. do you have any other framework related mods that could conflict?

Are you on stock ICS B.1.100 Xperia U, or ...???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] grrish:
Yes dude I'm on stock ICS B.1.100. Rooted with locked bootloader no any framework juz simple root!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Thanks for trying [MENTION=3232204]Archidelic[/MENTION] , if you forget about the background... does the mod work as it should?

This mod was created by me for me.. and it was easier to make the framework with a static background :)

There are 2 other options.. transparent background and.. "normal" like on stock, so now.. ill (try to) make a new framework that changes background according to the applied theme :)

Edit:

OR.. if you dont want to wait.. change the background images by your self :)

Background image is stored in

framework-res\res\drawable-nodpi\semc_bg.png and semc_bg_bright.png.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
OK, so here you are.. power menu mod that changes the ui background depending on the theme, BUT... the dialpad is TRANSPARENT.

This transparency is the reason why people are using the white JB-ported phonebook e.t.c. for "fixing" the transparency in dialpad :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Archidelic:
Sorry for not letting a feedback about how it works, I only tried it about some minutes and it worked fine, I'm not a fan of that highlight under the icon, but overall it looks cool and it works as it should.

Oh thanks for trying to change the background! You didn't had to XD

But sad that the dial pad is transparent now, isn't there a fix?

Would prefer if it was the status bar that was translucent, I love it that way, but i didn't find any Toggles mod with translucent status bar

Hi

Does anyone have stock firmware for Huawei E5776 in English please.

My E5776 was showing NO SERVICE after unlocking from EE no matter which SIM I used so I updated it to a newer firmware version but that turned out to be some Russian network's firmware and moreover its in Russian language.

Is there anyway that I can revert back to the old EE firmware in English or update it to stock firmware if available.

Thanks

S Ali
[General Questions and Answers] zeltron:
I have the same request.

I buyed my Huawei to ebay from UK but unfortually the modem wasn't a stock firmware but EE mobile firmware.

My modem is unsimlocked but I need stock firmware also because the modem is in roaming because I use it in France with Bouygues Telecom operator.

I use correct APN but WAN refuse to connect...
[General Questions and Answers] urban69:
Got the same one with EE firmware, it reports that it's in roaming, but after setting up APN and connecting manually (or marking the connect in roaming checkbox) it works fine.

But I'm also interested in getting the stock (or other than EE and english) firmware.
