Nokia 3310 seems like a good choice :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
I think the best alternative is the G2. Also has a lot of features, super speedy and great battery life.

Damn.....and with the rumored S600? No stylus? lol
[Galaxy Note 3 General] d12unk13astard:
That onemax is fugly.. big ass htc bezel and they made the phone too big. They shoulda took a note from samsung lol and just increase screen size a bit, if you didnt notice all you gotta do is line up the screens from the n3 to where the actual screen starts on onemax to see my point.

Sent from my note 2 ya bish!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
Jeez the one max is huge, it's too big, I was thinking of selling my note 3 to fund a one max, I think I won't now.

I'm actually really starting to like this n3 now, even embracing the audio to some degree.. I still don't praise it, but the phone is neat in many other ways :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lmike6453:
It looks like the HTC One Max might not have a much bigger screen as the Note 3 than that pic makes it look to be. If you look at the picture, the screens aren't horizontally lined up right. The Note 3 lines up below the HTC One Max's capacitive keys...

Also WSJ confirmed invitations for an event on October 15th to announce the device link
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hendrickson:
Just wait for the LG G Pro 2 or G2 Pro whatever LG will call it. Which will have that 2560 x 1440p 5.5" display they demoed a few months back. With SD 800 and 13MP OIS camera that records 4k video. IT might even have a stylus.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
I think HTC's lost their minds. The amount of bulk (size, weight, bezel) the One Max adds for a small amount of additional screen real estate seems nuts. Early prototypes used an all-metal construction like the One while the leaks of shipping versions (China, VZW) show it be metal/plastic like the One Mini. In China it sells at the same price as the N3 (which means really high) so I'd guess it'll be priced similarly in the Western markets too. HTC needs a Hail Mary. The Max doesn't appear to be it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jsouthernindiana:
Carrier not manufacturer

I'm not an expert but what I do know is it is at&t that locks the bootloader not Samsung. Get a note 3 on sprint or T-Mobile with an unlocked bootloader. I'm with at&t and was also looking forward to the note 3 from a galaxy s iii. Holing there is a note 3 developer edition. Please
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ragnarkov:
In my opinion, this is what makes a great phone. So many GOOD things about it, you can actually consider living with ones you thought would make you get rid of it in the first place.

Glad to hear you're starting to warm up. I agree the audio isn't the best by a long shot, but there are so many other things about this device to make you not dismiss it.

In regards to functionality, ease of work flow, and life of battery, I truly think nothing compares, or can be considered an alternate.

Obviously my opinion, but this phone defines what a 'smart' phone should be.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
Yeah been using it solidly last few days and am really loving it, it's not perfect and external audio still annoys me, but who knows,, Samsung may patch that, but if not it's acceptable to me now..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] starrscream22:
guys should i get the xperia z ultra or the note 3?

torn between these devices
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lmike6453:
I compared both and definitely note 3, Xperia z ultra wouldn't fit in your pocket comfortably. They should have skimmed down the bezels

[Galaxy Note 3 General] starrscream22:
hey what if size isn't a concern to me?

the note 3 has better specs compared to the z ultra and theyre about the same price

on the other hand, i love the design of the z ultra, the huge screen, and premium design
[Galaxy Note 3 General] darthmaul40:
I struggled with this for quite a while and there was a time when I became quite ambivalent about the NOTE3 and warmed more towards the ZU. However in the last two weeks I definitely started feeling the opposite. I have now gone for the NOTE3. What I can say is:

1. the false leather on the black is not as bad as it seemed at first

2. stylus input for NOTE 3 is miles ahead - E.g handwriting recognition is amazing I used to have NOTE1 and it has come on leaps and bounds

3. the difference in body size is huge but the difference in screen size is not as great because of the NOTE3 design.

What I miss will be the bigger screen estate of the ZU and the waterproof design. I think the overall design of the ZU is quite nice except for the massive bezels.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Onemoa:
Yeah I'm happy about how Samsung is keeping there Note line of phone's at the very limit of size. I'm still rocking the Note 2 and I have a feeling I'm going to upgrade to the Note 4. Mainly due to financial, but after holding a Note 3 next to my Note 2 it's not much of a difference and my Note 2 keeps up with my needs just fine. I still might get the Note 3 but I'm sure once the Note 2 is updated and able to do everything the Note 3 can do, I might just find it a hassle since the Note 4 is going to be a must have I'll just wait for it. But that's still TBD.

I just think as long as Samsung updates the Note 2 properly. As in it gets all of the new features and the new UI doesn't add lag or battery drain, I think the Note 2 will remain a great high end device (besides it's GPU compared to the Note 3's) up until the release of the Note 4 in a few short month's.

For all the people still rocking the Note 2 if it's because they want to or not. I would wait for the update to 4.3 before you decide on getting the Note 3.

The Note 4 will be everything the S5 is but much better as long as Samsung's roadmap stays about the same. So I would say if you're looking for an alternative to the Note 3 check out the Note 2 once it's updated to 4.3 I just hope Samsung doesn't delay it again.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] henrik.dk:
wow, just saw you name here ... your word on s4 cracked screen ...

Are you Samsung ....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Why would you think that? Simply because I don't tolerate idiots, drama, and stupid design choices well? If that's what made you draw that conclusion it probably applies to the majority of people on XDA not just me. And the One Max would be the perfect phone for you, the crazys in the S4 cracked display thread, and their kin in the region lock thread here. It wouldn't be fair keeping all that blinding insight limited to just Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tomthedancingbug:
really the only competitor is the z ultra because that has tablet like functions and stylus input

the one max, from what i understand is a blown up one, software wise especially, which just makes it a big phone

anything else like the z1 and the g2 are straight up phones, despite the multitasking/handwriting efforts they may include

im not a fan of the touchwiz interface(1.sony 2.htc 3.lg 4.samsung) but they hit all the right points with the stylus. they really have some good value added software for it, its not just a side thought like it was on the z ultra

im really surprised no other manufacturer realizes this and why no one has copied this yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fethi2:
there are no alternatives to note models. they are unique. designed to be this way....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.m0x:
I don't think it will get all the features. Some of them maybe but definitely not all.

Sent from my SM-N9005 now Free
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
It makes no sense for Samsung to bring the N2 up to the N3's s/w experience on two counts: 1) it's commercially stupid; why make a year-old device that's cheaper seem the same as a new flagship?, and 2) the N2 has a year-old SoC/GPU, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. There's no way that combo could carry the burden of all the new features contained in the N3. I know there are 16GB versions of the N10.1-14 and N3 for some markets but I'd be willing to bet some features aren't pre-loaded and require users to download them to activate them and at the same time they'll be warned about the memory space they consume. There were even a couple of apps like that on my 32GB N3. The difference is people using N2's already have their devices configured and Samsung can't suddenly double the storage space the OS, TW, or S Apps need on an existing phone; they have to assume the lowest common denominator which is take no or very little more space than is already being used.

So the N2 will most likely get some of the new features of the N3 and the benefit of the features of 4.3 but I think people hoping Samsung's going to turn their N2's in to slower N3's are expressing wishful thinking. The 4.3 leak people have been using in the N7100 forum doesn't have the new features which if Samsung was just tweaking the N3's s/w to be ported down to the N2 you'd think it would.

Like someone said above it might make sense to wait two months to see what the N2’s final updated feature set looks like. At the same time N3 prices might come down. But since devices seem to be staying “fresh” for shorter amounts of time (if the SGS5 comes out in January the SGS4 will have lasted 9 months) you could be depriving yourself of two months of fun using the N3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dxzh:
I believe that most of your posts are pretty fair so I better go and reflect on whether the regional lock thread is as mad as you make out.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SentinelBorg:
Hmm? The system takes up around 200 MB more on my N3 compared to my N2. CPU and RAM should also be fine and the slower GPU doesn't have to push that many pixels on the Note 2. I don't see any technical reasons, to not push almost all software features of the Note 3 down to the Note 2.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.m0x:
You're missing the most important reason. By back porting all the new features Samsung would be giving consumers fewer reasons to upgrade. It's marketing suicide so why would they do it?

Does the s2 now have all the features of the s3?

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
The N3 has all the SGS4's features plus all the S Pen additions. They both have 1080P displays pushing the same number of pixels (the PPI on the N3 is lower). The S-600 SGS4 with 2GB of RAM is a laggy mess while the S-800 N3 with 3GB of RAM isn't; even with the additional S Pen features. Why do you think that is? If all those features behave so differently on two far more powerful and advanced SoC/GPU's what chance do you think the N2 has of running the same s/w smoothly?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
A debloated GNote2 with a selection of GNote3 goodies ported + its well implemented Wofson DAC, stock FM radio app (many users like it), a non pentile screen and more , will be even BETTER than the GNote3 itself :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Don't worry, just kidding ....:D

It will be OCFD coming back with a vengeance...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
PenTile (N3)

Non-PenTile (N2)

There are two questions really. What's Samsung going to port over to the N2 from the N3 when the former gets its 4.3 update and what can the devs do on their own? There's no doubt the devs will Franken-phone all the N3's features in to the N2. The question lies in the usability of the result. The number of OS threads created and resources used by the new multiview features will choke Exynos 4/2GB of RAM. Even if the multiview features are made to work you can kiss multitasking good bye as there will be little RAM left to keep apps open in the background. All the air and motion features alone choke the SGS4 on S-600 in terms of everyday performance. Having features and having them work well are two different things. And the devs aren't going to be able to make the N2's display as bright as the N3's via s/w. Outdoor visibility is startling better on the N3 to the point people have actually commented on it when they see my phone outside.

Report back with your results though, I know a ton of people are interested.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
Roger..

I don't think my favorite kernel (Devil) will manage the leaked 4.3, perhaps Saber or Perseus kernels.

Then you will see how beautiful the GNote's screen can get

I will even make a video if I have time.

Never believe on pics and 3rd party reports

In my case I prefer motion picture, meaning, walking the walk

Anyway, as a principle I wont be buying the GNote 3

I live in Holland and travel a lot, specially to Brazil.

A fellow Brazilian who bought his GNote3 here in europe and activated it with his european sim card, went back to Brazil and learned his Brazilian sim card is blocked.

The Brazilian Samsung service center won't help him

Now he is forced to root his phone or buy an unlocking code on one of those obscure sites.

I have no problem with rooting a brand new phone, but just am sick of Samsung's idiotic policies anf the region lock is just the last drop .

Looking for alternatives for the GNote3 just became a good idea, even if it means not having S-Pen capabilities anymore...

Useful thread this is ....

Edit: BTW, Non -PenTile al the way.....just as the S4, purple smear/ghosting is present on the GNote3 as well .....

If it could have a slightly bigger screen (5.7", as the Note 3) and keep the slim bezels as LG knows, this could be a hit!! And people will buy it, and devs will develop for it, and everyone would be happy :victory: (except for HTC of course haha)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Basedwolf:
I have recently been interested in wanting to install a ubuntu onto my tablet, so i am installing twrp first, i have downloaded the android SDK files and have extracted them with adb and fastboot into my c: drive, i have also unlocked my device by using the Asus unlock tool, i then when into the i believe its called bootmenu where you can choose between usb,rck,coldboot,ect and downloaded the fastboot driver into my usb 3.0 after that i flashed twrp using "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob" in cmd everything went well the blue bar loaded, the cmd said it finished.

Now this is where the problem starts when i enter RCK (recovery mode) it just freezes there like the fastboot, the icon stops flashing and text appears saying "booting recovery image kernel" but nothing happens. To my knowledge and the guide i am following it should boot to twrp if im not mistaken.

I am using windows 7 for my pc and have updated my tablet to 4.1.1, i have also check the Md5 codes. I am also following this guide (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2038464).

If anyone could help out someone trying to get into roms for andriod that would be awesome thank you.

Hi

During the installation of FeraLab v30 I made a mistake and didn't choose the Home key to act as an unlocker, now I have to use the power button every time I wanna unlock my phone

Is there any way, other than re-installing the rom, to change it?

My second question is about the fonts used in messages. Is there any way to change the font (specifically, the Farsi font used for messages)?

I'm not a developer, then I'd need a solution which I can afford.

I always keep my pda in the cradle charging whenever I can (most of an average day) just like the instructions say so. A guy I work with says it's better for battery life to discharge them (near) fully and then recharge.

My battery life is now very short (after about 10 months use) and I am going to buy a replacement. Anyone know for sure which is the best way to keep batteries in good shape?

The short answer.

No. Lithium batteries prefer to be topped up frequently and don't like being fully discharged.

:)
[General Questions and Answers] vijay555:
Thanks TheBrit :wink:

Just to add - you can do damage to a lithium battery by entirely discharging it, so don't. Top up away. But expect to replace after a couple of years!

V
[General Questions and Answers] Spikeydog:
Thanks for the replys & detail.

Maybe my batteries are suffering from 'digital memory' - they have hardly ever been run down to device switch-off. For my new ones I'll try fully discharging every 30 recharges as suggested and see how that goes.

I'll post results of test in a years time! :o
[General Questions and Answers] jrodcamaro:
I don't believe in topping them constantly. A friend and I bought our new phones 2 weeks apart from each other. I always heard to discharge them before charging, he on the other hand never cared. Just 6 months in now, his dies in 2 hours or less, with light use. I am playing music, surfing FB etc. all day long. Right now at 15 hours discharging and still 40% battery. He has charged his 5 times today due to phone going into low battery life, and only been up 11 hours.

Hi,

Let's me introduce my first Android game. Actually not a real game, more like an "interactive book" with game elements for kids. It has several scenes with animated animals and sounds. Currently there are 3 modes: learn the animal, guess the animal and puzzle game with each scene picture. I'm going to add more modes.

The game is available for Android (phones/tablets)as well as for WP and Win8.

The game has good ranks in WP market and i've currently uploaded Android version as well.
