[Galaxy Note 3 General] Necc86:
On paper, USB2 specs defines 5V @0.5A max, giving a total of 2.5 watt output power.

While USB3 is a bit more complicated. Originally, USB3 defines 5V @1A max, giving a total of 5 watt output power.

Later, once working devices was released into the market, out of sudden USB3 specifications was changed, defined increased bandwitch (from 5Gbps to 10Gbps), and they messed up the power too: 5-25V and 1A-4.8A several combinations possible with a maximum output limit of 120 watts.

But all above exists on paper. In practice even USB2 gives out 0.65A instead of 0.5A, especially if you use the back panel of your motherboard, while some poor quality cable makes so much loss, in the end the current is even slightly under the original specification.

But to be stick simple, in ideal case USB3 has double power output as USB2.

My apology for doubting in your words.

Do you guys put it in charge when you first get it even tho if its like %50 on battery?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SrTapir:
Yepp, I didn't switch it on and just left it charging, well, it's still on it.. What a long hours will be.. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ysunshine:
So I guess that's the way it should be?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SrTapir:
Yepp it's recommended that way, it's also reflected in the device manual.

So Mali T628MP6 at 600Mhz (?) is on par with Adreno 330 at 450Mhz as shown in the benchmark on page 2 I. So i'm guessing the Adreno 330 at 550Mhz should be the fastest GPU for mobile at the moment (Xiaomi Mi 3), of course the Apple A7 GPU is on par with Adreno 330 at 450Mhz, just depends on the software.

Mine arrived an hour ago from O2 first impression it's light!

Having owned Htc one and Optimus g pro recently must say this is fast responsive.

Looks remind me of sg2 which I'm not too impressed, feels very fragile!

Definitely not premium but at least the back looks far better then the high gloss plastic finish.

Led notification light is dimmer then previous models and no bleeding.

1080p Amoled screen is noticeable but inmho it's not as good as LCD 3 screen to look and touch. Amoled has always felt inferior but I suppose it's personal preference.

Side bezel lip not flush with the screen.

Overall good phone but definitely not worth the price tag.

I would have bought the overseas version but I am waiting (for once, haha) to get the US AT&T version so I can get LTE and 4k camera.

What a long wait!

Congrats on getting yours. Cannot wait to see all the youtube videos now that it has been officially launched all over the world (except US)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] azhurvadal:
Note series main strength is the S-Pen & the accompanying software.

If you only judge it from the hardware/build quality, I think you will find better values on other 5 inches flagship phone such as G2 Web or Z series because they have equal hardware with lower price tag.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] riz157:
Dont get me wrong its a good phone however there is no denying there are those like myself care about build quality, will play around with it and see how i really feel about it. Would I swap with any other phone out there at this time...probably not.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] i9100g user:
Mali628 is either clocked at 533mhz or 480mhz.

At least in Glbenchmark Mali628 is performing like Adreno 330 (@450mhz).

While the higher clocked adreno 330 (Xiaomi Mi3, note 3?) has a slight advantage over others.(given that note 3 is using MSM8974ab)

As far as onscreen performance goes A7 should keep 5s ahead in gaming .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ekerbuddyeker:
OK I am totally jealous here in the US. TOTALLY.

Hi,

I'm a little bit confused!

In 4G (LTE) countries, it is SM-N9005, and one of you sign tapatalk with this refart : clear for me, this is the snapdragon 800.

For the others (with Exynos) I read in Samsung web site "SM-N9000", and one of you afirm to have SM-N9000 from Vietnam, but his tapatatrac sign "SM-N900"

what is the difference between SM-N9000 and SM-N900?

(I bought mine, this afternoon in Thailand <made in Vietnam>, this is a SM-N900 inside (tag and system), but on the box it is SM-N9000ZKETHL)

Even tmobile begin shipping preorder on 9/26 then that's still a good news. At least we can receive the phone before weekend.

But I am afraid that we may have to wait 7-8 days to get the preorder in hand.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Prod1702:
Check www.tmonews.com They already have the date up for Oct 2nd. Most stores get the phones in a few days earlier. Sometimes you will find a store that sells it to you early.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
Got my note 3 today, not impressed with the audio, my note 2 is superior, also the speaker placement isn't very good.

Personally I wish I hadn't just spent £620 on it, I honestly prefer my note 2.

I miss pop up browser, I miss the slow motion video on the note 2 hmm not impressed really,, tho the screen is pretty decent.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheBenzinator:
Really? What is wrong with the audio? Do you mean the speakers not so loud and clear?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
The sound is a bit ice picky - too trebly, no bottom. Much prefer my note 2s audio output. N3 is loud but it's not a pleasant loud I'm afraid.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheBenzinator:
Maybe Equalizer kind of apps can help here?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Impuls3101:
all speakers have a burn-in period. I have had really tinny sounding headphones that turned out to be the best pair I have ever owned. Give the speakers some time to break in and improve on their sound quality.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] azhurvadal:
Are you talking about the speaker sound or connected headset audio quality?

I wouldn't expect much speaker sound quality from note 3.

IMO, HTC One is still the best in this regard.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
I mean loudspeaker output, headphones are fine.

My note 2 audio is miles ahead of my note 3,and tbh I prefer my note 2 to the HTC one audio, I've tried one as well.

I honestly regret my purchase, wish I didn't.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] okloub:
Hello guys,

It seems I will stop reading can't wait the note 3 to arrive here, but I am wondering why we don't have the option to select between N9000 or N9005 ?

While I was browsing for the differences, below what I found ;)

N9005 has better performance with about 21%.

N9005 will be only to record 4k Video.

N9005 will only have the Video calling feature.

N9005 it will be like the international version so it will have more roms and development.

One more thing, any one can report about the device heat ? Is it like S4 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] azhurvadal:
This is the first time I heard someone said that Note 2 speaker is better than HTC One's.

Well if loudspeaker quality is very important to you, you should sell note 3 and return to note 2. I'm sure it will be easy for you to sell it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
My mate has a One, nice sound on it, but I honestly prefer mu n2 to it.

I've already listed my n3 on Gumtree, I love the screen on it, but feel a bit let down sadly overal.

The heat is not a big issue it does warm but no more than the s4 and the and is cooler than the htc one

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

true bro you have to tweak the sound another feature on the note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Impuls3101:
I know its backwards compatible. I want to know what amperage they are using for 3.0 charging on the stock samsung charger so I can match that in my car. From what I understand usb 3.0 charging can be anywhere between 1.5 - 5 amps.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hiepgia:
it's 5.1 Vol - 2Amps
[Galaxy Note 3 General] riz157:
You must be deluded mate got both and Htc one kills note 2 & 3 when it comes to speakers. Note 2 sound is tinny Lol

All reviews state this too.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
Nah I disagree mate, note 2 doesnt get the recognition it deserves for audio.

And as for adapt sound - it's calibration for earphones.. Not the tinny rubbish loudspeaker.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BillvanHalen:
Nice

Heard rumors of lag spikes at home screen, is that true?:crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] riz157:
Are you saying speakers on note 2 are better the Htc one?

Prior to owning Htc one I thought note 2 speakers were ok however since then I've realised they are pretty poor.

Not sure about headphone post adapt calibration never tried it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
Yes, that's my opinion, my note 2 has very strong audio output, with depth. Personally I prefer it to the Htc.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] riz157:
Get out of it mate you're having a laugh.

All reviewers have rated HTC one speakers above all others. You are the first person who prefers no speakers
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
Whatever mate, it's my preference
[Galaxy Note 3 General] riz157:
I suppose if you are being subjective then that's what you prefer. I was trying not to be influenced by my personal preferences but looking at objectively.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
It's cool, I actually like the Htc one a lot, kinda wish I'd have waited for the Htc one max to be announced, in fact I may sell my N3 if the max looks the business.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Speakers? Really? There are hundreds of new features on the N3 and several people have claimed "they should have kept the N2" over the N3's speakers. I have a N2 and for the handful of times I use the external speaker its been fine. Nothing more than fine because while it's loud enough it's also thin and gets tinny at high volume. If the N3's speakers are in the same ballbark (+/-20% in output and quality) I'd be similarly fine. People whose world revolves around speakers should buy a BoomSound-equipped device. And to put speakers in perspective if the masses thought they were as important as being implied in the N3 forum HTC One sales wouldn't be languishing to the point HTC's missing their 2013 revenue projections and posting their first annual loss.

Here's what GSMArena said about the SGS4 vs. One speaker wise. I'd imagine the N3 will perform similarly when objective (vs. the subjective banter thrown around here) testing is done on it.

We also tested the loudspeakers of the two handsets. Neither is exceptionally loud, both scoring a Good mark. Still, the One has the advantage of stereo sound directed at you while watching videos and playing games and it the speakers don't get muffled.

Winner: HTC One. The Galaxy S4 is a tad louder, but the HTC One takes this one with well-positioned stereo speakers and far nicer sound in general.​
[Galaxy Note 3 General] busab:
Among the new features the speaker loudness/quality is very important to me as well. Doesn't mean I want to downsize to the HTC One. I like having a the giant screen and the s-pen.

3. The incredible amount of bloatware

Any possibility of having a custom, larger, scrollable canvas for S Note? Now or in the future? I hate having to create multiple pages and write in the little pages they provide for the landscape note. It doesn't replace paper at the moment, more like postcards because of this. Zooming is not a solution as that messes up the resolution/clarity.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] fastguy:
Hi everyone,

I have a MK808 but I need something that can have gigabit ethernet and USB 3.0. I'm now using a HTPC at home and I have gigabit network at home, so falling back to 10/100 on USB2.0 is not something I like. Same for HDD speeds.

Would there be anything in the market with USB3.0 and GigEth and/or e-Sata etc? I heard about Samsung HomeSync but it seems not available yet (and pretty expensive!)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] NixZero:
there's no cheap(ish) SoC with usb3 or native gigabit 3 support at this moment, you'll have to wait at least 2014 for the next generation.

probably your best option will be the new wave of bay trail minipc that will get out next year.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] fastguy:
Yeah, looks like. The two boards that came to my sight are the Arndale and Odroid-XU. Odroid-XU is interesting. Both have USB3.0 ports so can accomodate a gigeth and USB3.0 disk. Arndale also seems to carry a sata interface... Both are pretty expensive, but Odroid-XU is tempting :)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] NixZero:
check http://cubieboard.org/tag/cubietruck/ it has native sata and gigabit ethernet - cpu is a bit underpowered (allwinner a20, more or less on par with your mk808) but as those interface arent built over usb2 they should perform nicely.

this too has to be released but it should be nearly ready and pretty cheap, with good linux support if needed.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] fastguy:
Thanks. Interesting indeed. However I think we need to check if this CPU really has the sata data lines or if it is bridged through some USB 2.0 bus.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] NixZero:
from a20 datasheet:

● GMAC

–Comply with the IEEE 802.3-2002 standard

–Programmable frame length to support Standard

or Jumbo Ethernet frames with size up to 16KB

–Support 10/100/1000Mbps data transfer rates

RGMII interface to communicate with an external

Gigabit PHY

● SATA

–One SATA Host controller

–Support SATA 1.5Gb/s and SATA 3.0Gb/s

–Comply with SATA spec 2.6

–Support external SATA(eSATA)

allwinner a31 got the gbit interface but its missing sata interface, rockchip soc are missing both.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] fastguy:
So I add the cubbieboard to the mix as well. I'm not sure if these carry SPDIF output though for optical DTS & AC3 5.1 sound.

I also saw the Utilite. It has dual gigeth, DVI and HDMI outputs. It also has mSATA and SPDIF. Based on Freescale i.Mx6 A9 1.2ghz. But it does not have USB3.0, it's a pity :( In this case, I would need to make some hole in the case to take out the mSATA port as a SATA port and maybe connect it to some external HDD station.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hondafreak513:
OK so this problem started out small a few days ago until now when my screen went down for 30 minutes..

It's weird it just shows a fuzzy screen like a old school TV did that had no reception. This has now occurred on two different ROMs so I know it is not related in that way...

I'm thinking its a hardware or software problem with my screen. Has anybody else experienced this or should I take it into sprint... I have tried taking a screen shot of it but when I do, it actually takes a pic of whatever screen my phone is on eg: home screen, Facebook, XDA etc.... But still has the fuzzy screen....

Any help would be gratefully... Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
That definitely sounds like a hardware problem. It shouldn't be consistent with more than one rom. Furthermore, you are the only case where I have heard this (I saw your post with the first occurrence on the Sense 5/ 4.1 port).

Flash VipeRUU if you are S-Off, and run along to Sprint. If you aren't, flash the latest stock rom, and remove SU permissions from within the app itself. They *might* not notice (they didn't for me).
