[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phobic99:
I had the G2 for a week before I got the note 3. Honestly, the G2 is a really nice phone. I love the size and the screen is great.

The only issues I had with the G2 were the fact that I really didn't like the back buttons after using them and I wasn't sure on Dev/Rom support. I also didn't like that the G2 doesn't seem to support AptX and it just feels cheap in my hand while using it. All very minor complaints that will vary from user.

I like the note 3 a lot but I'm actually thinking about getting a Nexus 5 now especially if it comes with the rumored 3000mah battery. We'll see in a few days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
I played around with the g2 but didn't like the smaller screen. Plus I've been a fan of deviant development, specifically ptmr3's work and knew he was going to make the jump so that's part of the reason I got the note 3.

I just love the size of this phone. I read a lot and watch a lot of videos so it makes it really nice. Plus my hands are fairly large so I don't have any problems using it one handed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stir fry a lot:
Why the hell is the default wipe option in twrp to perform a factory reset????!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Towle:
It's not a full factory reset, it skips the SD card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stir fry a lot:
Yeah, but it deletes enough stuff to be a piitb if you don't have a lot of time to restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wrkingclass_hero:
Hurray, finally got shipping confirmation from Negri

So, like a few people here on xda, I ordered the Note 3 from Negri after seeing a thread here saying how cheap it was. I preordered on October 1st. (3 days before launch), and was about ready to cancel my order after waiting 30 days, when I finally got shipping confirmation. I wish I could post on the original thread to let others who are holding out for their black Note 3s know how the cue is progressing, but it (and threads like it) was closed by ed funky cold, so I'm posting here for anyone who didn't switch to swappa. I'll update when I get it to say whether knox was tripped, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wrkingclass_hero:
Got the phone

Got the phone on Friday, it was delivered in the box with thermal shrink wrap, everything was included except for the T-mobile SIM and the quick start guide. I don't know if it has already been SIM unlocked, I haven't gotten my Straight Talk SIM yet. I checked KNOX, it wasn't tripped. I update when I get my SIM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kevroc:
That's great news. The wait finally paid off for you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hcyplr29:
I just switched from the HTC One to a Note 3. We all know the features etc etc, and all I will say is I like the Note 3 much better even though I was in love with my One. I was afraid of the size of a note trying to carry in my pocket and I will say that its not a big deal at all (I'm 6-2 225 so I have big pockets) :D The S-pen is a huge pleasant surprise. I never used one before and it just makes things much easier for the things I need my phone for. There is a cure for one-handed operation where you can shrink the screen and move it to a side where you hand is. I can go on and on but I'm still learning about it and after 2 days my mind is blown away with what this thing will do. Oh.............and don't forget an SD card slot inside...HUGE. Just my 2c ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
being a big lad I did not think you would need one handed operation .;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
Another handy trick is you can set up app couples for multi window so you tap one icon to launch to apps at the same time. Very handy if you use two apps for multi window a lot.

Just upgraded to a T-Mo Note 3 from an AT&T branded HTC One X (unlocked and on T-Mo). Looking forward to joining this community. Cheers! :cheers:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DWebber18:
I too am enjoying my Note 3. I was a bit worried about the size but now I really like it and have a hard time going back to a smaller 4.5" screen size like my wife's S3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wolf39us:
It's been a pretty long ass time since I've posted here! April '10 it appears with the Nexus One. I just could NOT get the feel for it... it was laggy, crashy and overall didn't "feel" as good as the iPhone of that time. I've been a pretty loyal iPhone user all the way from 3G!

On release, I've purchased the iPhone 5S 32gb and have been using it without problem. But I've come to a realization... how fricken boring iOS is. Seriously, it hasn't changed much at all since the original iPhone's release! I've been able to withstand the previous generation iPhones due to their available jailbreaks... but more and more time goes by and I realize that I NEED that customization back.

The jailbreak provided me with just enough ability to change some things about the iPhone that I wasn't too happy about and gave me some power. Now that it's not here, I can't stand it. Stock iOS with no way to change it... very saddening indeed. After coming to this conclusion, I started looking into what Android has to offer (after almost 4 years). All I have to say is WOW Android has come a long way!

I've researched the top competitors currently and have come to the conclusion that GN3 is my best selection as of yet. Beefier specs coupled with what looks to be an amazing camera has really won me over! I have not purchased the Note 3 yet as I am still making iPhone payments... Also, T-Mobile has my phone locked to the carrier . My next step will be to pay the phone off and unlock it OR attempt to sell it as is locked to T-Mobile.

Depending on the way things go, I may keep the iPhone for a little bit longer and hold out for the next release of the Note (or whatever other Android tops out the GN3).

This will be officially my 4th jump to Android! Hopefully there will be no turning back!

TLDR; Due to boredom, I am leaving Apple behind (despite my recent purchase of the 5S) and jumping to the GN3 or better!

Why should I get a Note 3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jeaniturrizaga:
Why would you want any other phone? Is the best hottest phone there is at the moment. It's got a beautiful screen, best cpu, 3 GB of ram, SD card, removable / great battery, sexy stile, s pen (very useful once you learn to use it, the ability to put it on the best networks and choose whoever has the best deal at the time, great long list of accessories, watch 1080p movies on TV or phone, usb 3 port, fast charge, great quality phone, great apps and if you like to flash rooms there are plenty to choose from, many themes, android 4.4.2 if you like and the list goes on and on.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] babymatteo:
Hey guys, just wondering how many tmobile Note 3 owners are tempted to get the Sony Xperia Z1s? Even before picking up my Note 3, I was contemplating whether to dish out $600 on an international Z1...but decided to go the Note 3 route with tmobile with $0 down to save some $$$ for the holdays. But now that the Z1s is available, I'm even more tempted to trade up.

Pros of the Z1s:

Too many to list lol

Cons

most likely weak speaker

More?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Android Cowboy:
With t-mobile new uncarrier plan I'm thinking of switching from Sprint. But I have Google Voice integration and I have no idea what happens when I switch. Right now my Google Voice number and cell number are the same. When I switch do I lose my Google Voice number and I have to get a new number. Anyone know the answer. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
You can port the number over. If you are ordering a phone online it is a lot easier to just get the phone, make sure it works ok, and then call T-Mobile to have the original number ported over to the new phone.

However, if you still owe money to Sprint they may prevent you from porting until they are paid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] babymatteo:
If you ported your number to Google and paid the $20, then Google owns the right to your number. So if you switch to Tmobile...you don't have to port your nunber. Just download Google Voice and select use Google Voice nunber for calls and texts.

Actually, it doesn't matter if you owe them money or not...I was able to port our family plan to Tmobile with a balance on our account.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jeaniturrizaga:
I like the phone as well but, no flash, rumors that it cracks in half when is in your front pocket, appatently a bit too big and looks just weird when talking on the phone, easy fix with a blutooth device. Screen is a dimmer and the angle views are bad. It just bothers me when they use a screen like that. The vessel or sides what ever is called are what too big. A litle more ram would be nice , Camera is not the best, Xperia software it's not so appealing to me. Although the play store version looks awesome with kit kat. The screen has some type of film that after a while gets worn and looks bad (not sure if this is the case with every z1)

Honestly, I do like the phone nothing major but I like the note 3 better and the size is more manageable for every day use. Wow and the note3 screen is mind blowing.. Also a lot more developer's support and....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] babymatteo:
^^^ No flash? The Z1s is going to have the aluminum body, which is not that easy to bend. So I doubt it'll crack itself in half. Honestly, I love my Note 3...but the sexy body of the Z1s is quite appealing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
Yeah, Z1 has less RAM and I have TFT screen on my laptop, I hate it with passion, 20 deg off center and screen changes colors or becomes impossible to see, don't know if phone screen is as bad, but I'm not buying another TFT sh***t. Maybe people like to look and admire nice metal casing, I don't care about casing which will be covered with case anyway, screen is what I'll be looking at and that's smaller and TFT, doesnt even compare to Note3. And I think it's criminal for Sony, the video camera champion, for consumers and pros alike not to have 4K , high speed and slow speed video, like Samsung, on pretty much the same hardware. And enough with this "4K video is a gimmick " talk. Vizio showed 4k, 50inch TV in Vegas for $1k, I will have it before summer. The only thing Z1 has over Note3 is waterproofing, so where is Note3 active we heard rumors about back in September? The rest is at most similar, the screen sucks in comparison and how come Sony is almost as big as Note with so much smaller screen and did I see it right, quarter of it is used for soft keys? I wish Samsung had some real competition, but Z1 isn't it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EtherealRemnant:
Z1 doesn't have KNOX.

Honestly, KNOX is the only thing that is keeping me from getting the Note 3 with my JUMP. Thanks to KNOX, I'll likely never have a Samsung device again, at least not as long as I'm on JUMP so I can upgrade every 6 months.

Now I'm looking at every other company's products and its looking like a G2 or a Nexus 5 are in my future for now. Its a shame. I can't have Android and not have root (I have too many apps that have to be restored for that) and custom ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
I don't think Knox is as big deal as you make it:

1. you can root without tripping it already.

2. flag really matters only with hardware failure, I could bet case of bear, there is bigger chance you brick it when modding or break when dropping on ground, than having warranty covered hardware failure.

3. you can get the extra insurance, actually I think it comes with jump? My understanding is the insurance co. doesn't care about Knox and if they do you can "loose it".

4. I think some ROMS can already be flashed without tripping Knox and it will get better.

5. the more I use it the more I like the s-pen and I like Amoled screen better than all others, so it seems like Note is the only option at the moment, having both. And I like Samsung filling the phone to the brim with all the sensors, removable battery, sd card, hardware buttons, without cluttering the screen, 4k, high/slow speed video. What I don't like is other companies not putting at least IPS LCD, or cutting costs with non removable batt. or trying to sell me on cloud storage, instead of SD card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] UnholySniper:
Hello everyone, just picked up this phone Friday. Already rooted running wicked v5. Just curious if there is any news on a possible Ubuntu touch rom for us, or is the phone to new or is the Ubuntu code not fully setup yet? I don't know the full details of Ubuntu touch, just the idea of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] markysd:
Called t-mobile to try and switch from att they said I have to buy a phone to get 70$ unlimited. .. I bought a note 3 t-mo full price like 4 months ago didn't activate it because I'm using it on att till my contract is up but now I hear they will pay for etf in my case it's about 145$.. is the lady stupid at my tmo store? Plus I bought my note 3 there.. she just wants to cash in ?

Also I thought it can be Bring your own devices. . i just want my 70$ unlimited and have t-mo pay my ETF 145$ to switch..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EtherealRemnant:
In order to get your ETF paid, you have to buy a phone from them when you set up the new line. Unfortunately that means that you aren't eligible because you already purchased your phone. You might be able to get an override if its possible but the fine print says that you have to trade in your device from the other carrier and buy a new T-Mobile phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] markysd:
well i do have a blue 16GB GS3 from att and i can use my att upgrade lol.. but no nice phones out yet plus i like the note devices.. my contract ends in june with att so yeah bit of a wait for nice phones to come out till fall..mostly eyeing on note 4...

thanks for clearing that up.. i guess ill just wait a bit longer lol..

btw when my contract is done i can still stay with att but not upgrade correct ? just pay my monthly what i been paying then just end the line when a new phone comes out that is on t-mobile that is and just go on from there with t-mo...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EtherealRemnant:
This is correct. You just go month to month post paid after your contract expires as long as you don't do something to get into another contract. at&t is known for doing **** that gets you in a new contract (like if you call to change your plan) so just be vigilant of that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] markysd:
yeah i dont want to be in a contract anymore.. i been with them from iphone 3G.. same plan...80$ 200 text/450 mins/5000 weekend. nights/ unlimited lying data cap at 5GB... with t-mo 70$ nothing to worry about.. i use 95% of data and starting to go over 4gb+ data a month easy specially on a note..

looks like this will give me time to save up for note 4 on t-mobile...

what about bring your own device ? i saw a video of the CEO talking about it.. not sure if i can just do that when my contract ends with att..

Yes, you can do that, but you're paying contract price which includes cost of the phone, which is already paid for. What I would do is have ATT unlock the phone, once it is paid for and try to use it on T-mo or even ATT prepaid.

So can I get 70$ unlimited plan if I bring my own device on tmo or I have to buy a phone from tmo to get 70$ unlimited plan?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
I'm not sure T-mo have plans anymore, like ATT and others, phone is charged separately, specific amount for specific time, but to make sure just

go to T-mo website and choose "bring your own device" plan, or check with local store, they may have something not announced etc. Also check if you qualify for corporate discount.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
It's best to just go to the tmobile store and talk to one of the people there. They might hook you up and help you out.

Camera portrait orientation

Anyone have problems when taking pictures in portrait mode? When I view the image in gallery or quickpic the orientation is fine, but when I transfer the image to windows 7 or upload it somewhere it has been rotated counterclockwise. This happens with the stock camera app and the google kitkat camera app. Pictures taken with Focal in portrait are rotated even in the phone galleries.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] UnholySniper:
So I got invited to Google class
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jabbathewocket:
Anyone can get the plans online or in store.. as long as the phone is not simlocked to another carrier.. you can simply walk in and ask for a sim card of the correct size (99 cents to 9.99 depending on sales/promotions etc)

you can also use the prepaid plans (IE the 30$ a month plan from walmart 0 minutes 4 gigs of data at high speed unlimited texts) etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
The plan is 100 minutes, 5gb data of high speed than its throttled, Unlimited Texting. If you go to Walmart it's 40$ includes sim and first month of service. Tmobile no matter what will charge 10$ for their Sims even through wally world.

One Plus One?

Sooooo....Anybody else waiting, and/or excited for the One Plus One? I'm somewhat leery about a Chinese device, but then again, I ordered a custom HP thru Costco, and it shipped directly from a factory in China. Alleged specs look impressive, and totally customizable system(open source) are really something worth considering. No Knox, locked bootloader, etc. would be a awesome thing, if the hardware/design is as expected..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
That phone looks promising.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
As does the m8 I'm up for a jump on the 4th. SO when the 11th comes around, i will be back to HTC. Sorry Sammy. Never really liked your phones and only got the Note 3 cause the Xperia Z1 sucked so bad. Now that HTC has a good phone out with sdcard slot, i'm all in. Will miss the big battery, but all battery test show that it gets way better battery life then you would expect from a 2,600mah.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Not going to wait out for the max version ? Howard forums reviewed the M8 ( mate?) And said the One had better Boom Sound. I must confess that I do like the premium fit and finish of the M8 however I know in my heart a smaller screen that what I'm currently using might bug me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
Ive loved HTC since the Ipaq. And as you all know (specially from my sig) i've modded roms for almost all the HTC phones. The DNA was a let down because Verizon discontinued it 3 months after release. So i jumped on the Note bandwagon for resale reasons. I wanted the OG One, but Verizon took so long to release it, it was pointless buying it almost a year after it's outing. Now that the M8 has everything I want, i'm going back to HTC. I love the big screen on the Note 3, but the bugs, even at my level of development can't be fixed. So time to go back to Sense and the easily fixable bugs of High Tech Computers. OH, and i frickin hate the help menu that Sammy has on the phones. I'm tired of getting asked, "ARE YOU SURE" everytime i do anything on this phone. And I really don't appreciate Sammy's , Microsoft approach to it's phones. If i want to use Sammy Search and SVoice, then let me decide, don't make it so that i "HAVE" to use it. I actually like Google Now. So i should be able to make that a short cut. S-Finder is pointless piece of crap.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dobbs3x:
I had the htc one, even convinced my cousin to get one. After 3 months I got rid of it because I had poor signal due to the aluminum case. My cousin has also had worse signal experience then myself and had to get a thing to boost signal for thr home from his proviser. He also complains that the sensor doesnt work and it always habging up calls or pressing buttons when its up to his ear. Of course the iphonr 4 also has signal issues due to alluminum case when it fiest came out too but the design on iphone is better hopefully htc also designed the new phone better.

***off topic advice needed***

Pulling the trigger on switching from verizon to Tmobile..can I still use this rom? Also if I get get the note 3 on tmobile, will I be able to access the 700 band by turning it on through file explorer? Will the s5 work with the 700 band also?

I was deciding between HTC One and LG g2, went with g2. Both phones are very good however. I'm coming from the note 3:good:.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
battery usage differs with every devices but i love my note 3's battery usage above all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jacqueline robert:
Strongly agree with you! The LG G2 does such a heavy noise reduction that many details are lost, even at base iso. Yes, the images are pretty clean, but become ridiculously soft at higher iso settings and smaller subjects (like leaves in the distance) become just color blotches. I think Not iii is best!!!!!!!:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrpickem:
Personally I love my GN3. Best phone ever in my opinion.

Great devices I've owned

HTC M7 - loved it

Galaxy S4 - Took awhile, but warmed to it eventually

Moto X - Good software ideas but smallish screen(very good feel in hand)

Note 2 - Most Awesome device fist half of 2013

GS3 - Great workhorse has stood test of time

Razr Maxx - I just dont dig Motoblur

Devices I want to try...

HTC M8 (Gret quality devices)

Oppo Find 7 (Looks Interesting..may chance it)

OnePlus (CM entry looks amazing for $300...will definitely buy one when availabe)

Oh...I owned a few iPhones 4, 4S & 5 -- Good devices, just not for me.

BTW FWW I currently own 2 GN3's...TMobile Version on 4.4.2 stock rooted & Verizon on 4.3 stock rooted and I get 30-40% better batter life with the Verizon. I tried several roms on T-Mobile, but ended up back on stock debloated and I love it. I use Nova Prime on both...but TW under the hood and these devices both perform amazingly. I guess the Note 3 is about 7 months old and still top of the heap IMO, although several units are as good...at least spec wise.
