Alright, this thing is a real piece of crap but it'll have to do if you really need/want extra storage: http://www.zerolemon.com/details.ph...r-battery-case-2250mah-removable-battery-pack

You'll have to be a little handy since it needs to be modded. Basically, there's a LOT of wasted space inside the case, which makes it perfect for adding a usb flash drive / card reader.

I'm using a Kingston G2 reader with a 64gb microsdxc card. I'm really hoping they release a G3 with uhs support soon.. Class 10 is so slow.

The biggest issue I have with "cloud" services is the stupidity of Google Play Music. It'll cache and cache and cache with no limits. Sooner or later, it'll have gobbled up all the storage.

Thank you very much for you help colleagues. I want to ask, is it necessary to have my phone root and different from my original ''rom'' to connect to an external memory?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desno365:
Yes because you have to use a custom kernel.

Then you have to put custom rom and this kernel on my phone .

Big gotcha with Wireless flash storage - when you connect to the wireless storage, you give up access to the cell network or other wifi you were using for data. Thus, you have to choose - data or storage. You can't have both.

Best solution to add 8gb more memory to a Nexus 4 is to get rid of the Nexus 4 and get a phone with more memory.

Don't you lose a lot of the S-Pen functionality without TouchWiz?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BlueChris:
I only see that is missing the left app slide manager but I see that even if you run the TW isn't there also so you had disable it?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] snowwhite007:
No you don't loose spen functions using a launcher
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xManMythLegend:
Just to be clear you dont lose S-Pen but some navigation tricks are lost. Like swiping up for "magazine"

However the replacement launchers often have much more features that include gestures.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
You do lose air command though, and multi window, don't you?

Those are specific to TW.

The only thing you keep with S Pen is the actual writing ability and pressure sensitivity, isn't that right?

Does anyone use a Note 2 prior to Note 3?

I'm interested in the quality of Note 3's camera relative to the Note 2. I've seen reviews saying that for outdoor pictures, the Note 3 quality is very good. But indoor is OK at best. To me the Note 2 camera has sufficient quality for my use both indoor and outdoor. So I'm interested in how the Note 3 camera performs when compared to Note 2's.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GallardosEggrollShop:
From the various reviews I've seen, the camera on the Note 3 is only bested by the Note 2 in low lighting situations. The Note 2 had a "night mode" which helped in low light. The Note 3 does not have this mode and the reviewers say it suffers because of it. However the PhoneArena review suggested to turn on Stabilization in low light which helped the Note 3 achieve better pictures under those conditions.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Trazzy:
First off, I have a USC GS3 with stock rooted 4.1.2 which I've been having issues with, so I decided to upgrade to CM 10.1.3. Well, that turned out to be a bad idea as the file was corrupt and only half installed the ROM. Somehow in the process of this, it removed root and my phone hangs up at the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' screen. My CWM recovery tells me it lost root and asks me if I want to reroot it, but it never actually reroots it, it just continually hangs up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What model is the phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Trazzy:
SCH-R530U, US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3

I have CWM Touch Recovery 6

If someone could please help me regain the use of my phone, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
You are in the wrong area, but you should be able to re-root by installing the Superuser or SuperSU via flashing .zip from CWM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Trazzy:
There is nowhere I could find for US Cellular phones so I picked the carrier that is the closest to what I have. I've tried flashing other ROM's and SuperSU .zips and every time, no matter what I'm trying to flash it says 'Can't open /storage/sdcard1/-filename-.zip (bad)' so I really don't know what to do in this situation.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
USC is closer to VZW/Sprint then TMo as they run CDMA and not GSM, but alas, to the point. On CM/AOSP ROMs the sdcard might have been relabelled to '0' or '1', in your Recovery, browse for the .zips again and go all the way back to '/' and then drill down to where the files are. Also, try installing them from the Internal Memory instead of the MicroSD Card.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I believe it's the Sprint forum you will want. There should be a thread there with others using the same model.

Hi,

I have noticed that "media" in the battery usage list is draining my battery. Even with screen off and without using the phone, the CPU total in

the "Media list" doesn't stop.

I thought that my Note 3 was faulty and brought it back to exchange it but with the new one same story. I am almost using the same programs that I was using with my Note 2.

With screen off and without using the phone (only Wifi and Bluetooth on ) ; I am loosing more than 10% an hour.

Any help please.

Thank you.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
You need to do what people have done for the note 2. Either go into app manager and find media server and clear it then run a scan or copy all to pc then dump it back in to phone and reboot.

I will try. You are maybe right because I have unmounted my SDcard and the CPU In "media" has stopped increasing.

Could it be because I have added 6500 pictures on my ExtSDcard?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hairdewx:
LOL

ummm..... yeah. Gallery tries to make thumbnails of each picture...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
The phone is indexing your media. Wait for the indexing to finish then it will stop draining the battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Ars spoke about this in their review of the Note 3 here: http://goo.gl/sogcdt

"One of the most shocking blunders in the software department is the Gallery, which is literally unusable with the default settings. In the smartphone world, an app taking one second to launch is considered slow, but the Gallery on the Note 3 takes anywhere from 15 seconds to two minutes-plus to open. Albums take another 10 to 30 seconds to open. While this loading is happening, scrolling and touchscreen input often just don't work. The video below shows how crazy this is.

The issue is that the Gallery on the Note 3 wants to display all the pictures on your phone, plus everything from Google+, plus everything from Dropbox. It just can't handle that many pictures. The device has been synced for several days, and it takes forever even with Airplane mode on, so it's not a data issue. While all this loading is happening, System Monitor shows a light CPU workload, almost no disk I/O, no network activity, and no change in RAM usage. We're really not sure what is taking so long. If you go to the settings, turn off Dropbox pictures, and clear data, the Gallery goes from "completely unusable" to just "slow," but at least it will work without a multi-minute delay. I'm only using about 5GB of Dropbox storage, and the Note 3 comes with a 50GB Dropbox storage boost, so it's not like I have a crazy amount of data in my account. Having a quad-core 2.3GHz beast of a phone turn in this kind of performance is kind of sad."

It's the only thing that I have read so far that gave me pause about getting the Note 3. But hopefully it's like [MENTION=4933295]MohJee[/MENTION] said and it will only happen once while indexing the photos.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riimez:
Think they got a dodgy one or the gallery was still indexing all their photos. Mine opens instantly like usual and you can use it immediately with no lag.

EDIT: just thought Id add that I have around a thousand photos, as well as another thousand on dropbox that syncs to the gallery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nani:
Usually Media Scan issues are connected to SD Card issues :

- one of the reason is because the SD card has been used and taken from another phone

=> backup your SD Card

=> format you SD Card once inserted in your phone

=> put back your data on the SD card

- other reason is compatibility problem between Samsung phones and SanDisk SD Card

=> it's better to use Samsung SD Card to avoid this kind of problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielfr:
I will try,

I have made a backup of my SD card and have done a format using my phone.

I have copied back my 6500 pictures on my sd card and will see what happens.

Daniel

PS: I don't think that there is a compatibility problem with my SD card because before having made a format, I have deleted the pictures on the SD card and have used it without battery drain.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollyjones:
There are tons of things left over on the SD card from my last phone, but I am not sure what things I need to keep. I don't want to lose all my app settings. There are so many folders that I don't know whether my phone needs. Any help?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollyjones:
Solved the battery drain. I put a NoMedia file in the folder that has all my PHD files. I also turned off smart stay.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milan Kerslager:
What is draning your battery (how to find out & kill Media)

Battery draining may be caused by various reasons. Android takes care of battery use in Battery menu in Settings - there is how to check it:

Go to main home screen (press main hardware button in the middle under display), then press Menu (left softkey), then chose Settings, then choose General tab, then scroll down and find Battery. Here you can see what is going on. You may see what is eating your battery since last full recharge.

The main drainer is "Screen" in normal condition.

I had "Media" on the first place. It was caused by "face recognition of my friends" inside all photos and videos I put inside my phone and MicroSD card. This could be simply disabled by going to Gallery application (Samsung's default tool for viewing photos and videos). Go to main home screen (press main hardware button in the middle under display), then touch Apps (should be in the lower right corner of your display), find Gallery (by sweeping left/right), inside Gallery press Menu button (left softkey), choose Settings and there disable "Tag buddy" and "Face tag". You may unset (switch off) all "Cloud sync" too (probably Dropbox sync at least) - touch it and switch off all syncs (Pictures, Videos, Documents).

Hope helps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyeso:
Thank you so much, turning off face recognition & buddy tagging in Gallery resolved the CPU hogging by Media, it was still hogging the CPU usage for a while then it'll be gone from Battery usage list once these features are turned off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zchamp96:
I have the same issue with my note 3. I'm hampered by the media thing since a long time now. I have no sd card installed. I have something about 12,000 images+ in my phone. I have tried clearing the thumbnails and it doesnt work. Battery works like ****. I had the mediaserver thing too but it stopped once i closed the tag buddy thing. Any help for the media thing please?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
That's because Indexingservice/Mediascanner keeps indexing every single image over and over and over again. The poor thing can't handle that many files.

The best solution is to place a .nomedia file in the folder that contains the large collection of images, as well as anything containing lots of documents, books, magazines, videos... This will tell the Media scanner that there is nothing in the folder, and they won't be processed.

However, this means Gallery, Facebook etc won't see them. They can still be accessed, opened and used by a file manager and every app that uses file manager display instead of media. Using Quickpic and setting it to show Hidden will also allow you to view the images even though there is a .nomedia file in there.

Simply copy the .nomedia file from your Android folder to the folder that contains all the images. (It excludes subfolders as well.) You will need to set hidden files to be shown in the file manager to see it.

Take care not to place one in or above a folder containing ringtones or alarms, as this will exclude those files as well. (So not in the main directory!)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodders289:
Hi

a couple of weeks ago I tried to flash a rom to my Samsung S GT i9000 Android 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD.XXJW4, I had root and went into cwm recovery and made a backup first. This is a bit hazy now as it was a while ago and I have tried so many things since then, but I think something must have happened during the back up??. Bottom line is the ROM didn't work and I had to reinstalled the back up (and have done so many times).

I have tried all different Roms from ice cream to CM but nothing works.

My problem is that every time I do a recovery of the backup it really causes problem with the phone.

If I try and install any programme from playstore or market (both via the phone or pc) it immediately closes when I try and open it up saying it unexpectedly closed. Shut down the phone and restart it - yep the app has now gone from the phone. Same thing happens with APKs.

I have tried uninstalling the back up via windows explorer, ADB, clockwordmod recovery a file manager on my phone. Doesn't matter what I do it is always there when I start the phone back up. If I uninstall any apps through settings / applications / manage applications, turn off the phone then back on and they are back.

I have tried to clear it by installing stock roms but the back up and all its files and apps etc are still there. I have tried factory formatting the phone via settings/ privacy, I have tried using the numbers and hashes on the keypad, I have carried out full wipes in recovery and the dalvik cache etc.

I have made further backups but they are deleted from the phone just like the apps.

If I take a photo or video and close my phone down they are deleted.

If I access Facebook and update the news feed to the current date, when I restart my phone it is back to the last thing I looked at prior to my backup.

I think the problem is that the phone is using the backup some how and this is stopping me from deleting it. Something like trying to uninstall a system file on a computer when it is running.

I think I have watched just about every video ever created on this topic and every thread on the internet to no avail. :(

Bottom line is the phone works to an extent. I can phone, text, use the internet etc but cannot install or delete any apps.

I would be really grateful if anyone out there has any ideas that I could try

Got a small problem, I just flashed the latest 10.2 cm nightly because I want a true aosp ROM on my "newer" gs3. Since flashing the ROM my data speeds have significantly slowed. I came from the 3.9.5 dandroid touchwiz and had fantastic 4g lte speeds for my location (about 4.5 MBS) now on the cm nightly I'm barely breaking 1 MBS and that's if I even receive my lte connection. I tinkered with the APN setting and am running on the sprint lte internet APN but isn't helping much. Is it a radio issue?
