Best way is like you said, to just wait until it reaches your country and you can see it in person. Amoled displays have vibrant over saturated colors, better viewing angles, better battery efficiency than LCDs, and better blacks. LCDs have better whites, better brightness and viewing eligibility under the sun, more realistic colors. See which benefits you like the most and get the phone with the corresponding screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] staryoshi:
I bought the Note 3 for its unparalleled stylus integration. (and screen size/beast-mode specs) It has no competition at this point in time (Although a few competitors are in the works).

FWIW, I think the Note 3's screen is gorgeous.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mingkee:
When you posted it here, you should have known the answer is skewed.

If Note 3 did not have so much restriction, it should have been my choice.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vtjay:
Not arguing, but what restriction?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RayTrue04:
Change the screen mode in settings to Natural and if it's still not to your liking try Movie. By default it's on Standard and can even be increased with Dynamic. Changing the saturation has been present in settings since the GS2, idk how people miss that one option that could end their complains. If that doesn't do it for you then the Galaxy line might not be for you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] @rbiter:
Doesn't anybody use the movie mode or adobe rgb mode? Looks great in either mode. The galaxy series are on dynamic mode out of the box. Similar to how TV manufacturers and resellers put display TV's in this mode to stand out.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vtjay:
This is all personal taste, of course, but I find LCD screens more over saturated, and the sun viewing thing is overstated, while technically true, the reflections off the glass of all these screens makes it mostly mute. I've used my iPhone, iPad, friends galaxy devices, they all ultimately stink in direct sun
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uppon2:
Thanks for the replies guys. I posted this here because amongst bias choices, people will still give me answers I want to hear. A lot of people buy the Note series for the stylus and software features alone, where these features are simply bonuses that I might use and not even close to the reason I want a large screen device!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mi7chy:
If it wasn't for my need of the digitizer pen for documents there are a lot of strong contenders like LG G2 (especially the price <$200), Sony Z1, etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uppon2:
This is my point exactly. People can usually see the benefit of a stylus and that might play a huge roll in choosing the device! As this is not my primary concern I would choose the Z1 if it had a larger screen or The LG G2 if it had solid AOSP support; I guess I could make do with hiding the soft keys
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Johnmcl7:
I think this thread is a bit premature at the moment as there's too many unknowns about some of the other devices, the Acer looks potentially interesting but whether it's going to be worth considering will depend a lot on the price and how well it works in practice.

I have yet to see a note 3 in the flesh but colour rendition in the s4 is better than in the s3 so it may be an indicator of what to expect.

Regional SIM locking (this is a major issue for travelers)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Warrior1975:
Regional sim locking won't effect anyone. It's only meant to prevent people from purchasing phones out of their region.

Diamond pixel RBG Pentitle seem fixed what you worried. Screen look great and brighter than S 4 and much better than S 3. Some smearing on black screen but overall note 3 is the best. Camera better than S 4.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Warrior1975:
I did, from my understanding it will only effect people that activate their phones using a sim card that is from the list of unapproved countries. Activate it with the correct sim card, as long as it's from an approved country, you are fine.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syddd:
After some googling I found, that the "Transfer my data" app can transfer SMS only from Lumias and Symbian phones.

Anyone got an idea how to do it?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merwin:
I was wondering the same thing... I'm sure it's possible for the interop-unlocked phones, but that doesn't include Lumia phones (yet)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syddd:
I think its possible in a very awkward way. The Transfer my data app has special privileges, so it can write SMS to your phone. The problem is, that it can only import from Lumias and Symbian phones.

Now you you make an app for PC/iOS/Android, that fakes this protocol you are set. The problem is to decode this protocol, as I see there are 2 choices:

- Mess with the Symbian emulator. Ive downloaded it, but its kinda hard to get it to use the bluetooth of my laptop. if I manage to do this, I need to sniff the traffic to figure out the protocol.

- Download the Symbian source code and find the part which sends this data. Im now about to try this method, ill post an update if I find anything. If someone i a Symbian+bluetooth expert could help would be great, but I doubt such people are common.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X0LARIUM:
Guys...all you have to do is keep the back up option turned on. Everything else from there is MS's problem. I recently hard reset my wife's 720. All the messages, every single one, comes back the moment you sign in with the SAME ID you have taken a back up with.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Uh, GH0ST, I think you missed an important point... this is from *ANDROID* to WP*, not from WP* to WP8.

[MENTION=4146347]syddd[/MENTION]: I'm sure it is, indeed, possible to transfer the messages to the app from an Android phone, but I don't know the wire format. You might get lucky if you search and find an app on the Android side that is compatible with Transfer My Data, though.

The more detailed user manual, which can be found here:

http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...UM_EU_Jellybean_Eng_Rev.1.0_130910_Screen.pdf

Quoting from page 36 (advanced S-Pen instructions):

"Opening available options: Some items have contextual menus that make the S Pen pointer glow. Press the S Pen button

to display the menu while hovering the S Pen over the item."

1. Can anyone come up with a specific example/application/action/situation where this happens?

2. From what I have learned, and that is very little, the S-Pen can "GLOW" and it also has a button - but I have never heard anything about any battery in the S-Pen. Can someone shed light on the technology in the S-Pen? Does pressing the button create some sort of miniscule piezoelectric charge to operate or something? Or if it has no battery, then how would the pen button do anything? Of does it have a battery that lasts many years so they never bother mentioning the fact that it has a battery?

I am VERY interested and curious to see what the answers to these questions would be...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljamie:
Lol :) you wrote the answer yourself..

The S Pen POINTER glows. The little marker on screen that shows where you are hovering. This glows in certain situations. Try gallery app...
[Oppo Find 5] formeriphoneuser:
Hope you guys can help me answer 2 quick questions I have:

I.) I just got my Oppo Find 5 today and installed the latest MIUI ROM (Recovery and Rooted) and was wondering if you can simple update the ROM via the MIUI app that come pre-installed. Is that possible?

II.) Between the Color ROM, MIUI and PAC ROM, which do you find better and why?

My take:

MIUI

Has lots of features that I use like VOIP integration, blacklisting, permissions etc. but is very laggy when it comes to opening folders.

Color ROM

Very snappy, but it's missing a lot of features that MIUI has

PAC

Haven't installed it yet : ( Does it have the feature of MIUI too?

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmegalodon:
Here is a screen shot of my cwm folder : /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

can anyone tell me what they are for and why the dates are from 1970? can I delete them? the 4 files are taking up over 6.5gb of my internal storage.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Those are nandroid backups that you do in recovery. I use TWRP recovery which supports custom naming of backups. Thanks helps easily distinguish one backup from another. What I know about CWM is that it does not record dates when you backup. Unless there is an option to name backups like there is in TWRP, that's the way it is. Six GB looks about right for the four backups. You can delete any that you want but just know you're essentially deleting whatever "safe" rom you have backed up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmegalodon:
ok. but how do i know which is the oldest/newest?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Using your file manager (es explorer right?) there should be a Properties tab if you long press any of those folders. I'm willing to guess it's already in order from oldest to newest going left to right based on the naming scheme: "year-month-day" and the second part looks like "hour-minutes." However, you can tell via your file manager.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KruseLudsMobile:
How does the Note III know you have a finger hovering over the screen, and where it is hovering over the screen? So we are being told the entire screen has a built-in proximity sensor and how does that work? I am waiting for the Galaxy Note 3 and an currently using an S3. The S3 has a proximity sensor but that I believe is only a tiny hole up at the top of the front of the phone - not the whole freaking screen!?!?!?!?

Very confused, must be magic or made by the Gods.... ??? LOL

Anyone can shed any help on this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
I think it does have some sort of prozimity built in the screen.See S pen...you can select without even touching the screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milimbar:
A digitizer is a device that creates a small electromagnetic field and then measures disturbances in that field. Thus knowing when your finger touches (disturbs) the screen (and electromagnetic field)

In the Note 2 there is a second digitizer that detects the different way the S Pen nib interacts with a magnetic field at a distance, and thus is able to show where the S Pen is hovering.

In the Note 3 they use similar technology but is now able to detect your finger at a distance instead of just the S Pen nib.

I think I got all that correct, if not... someone will correct me :)

And, if I am wrong

Ok so I'm rooted and updated to the latest firmware (see pic below)

Since the phone has had the latest update the phone randomly reboots, then takes ages to load up, when I press the power button to turn off my screen, the back lighting stays on ( like looking at a lit up black screen) I press the power button to wake the screen up but nothing! So I'm having to hold both the power button and up volume to do a hard reset, the phone boots up but after the Sony logo I just get a black light screen for about a minute!?? Then everything just repeats it's self! Ahhh

Is there any ROM I could try to this phone? Got a spare and want to make it the most out of it... If I could flash a lollipop ROM it would be the dream.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lukasz:
Hello everybody - I am currently testing the Universal with the 1.11.45 wwe system, and I would appreciate any confirmation that what I have found still exists in the 1.13 system, as I am not sure if I should upgrade immediately or not.

- “contact” soft key is on the RIGHT when desktop is visible, on the LEFT in phone application and in the MIDDLE button during the phone call. JUST Imagine somebody in the car who wants to make a phone call….. especially with MISSING REAL HARDWARE BUTTONS to assign the contacts to…

- In the phone application – last unanswered phone call is not displayed on the phone screen – you have to click HISTORY to see it – just the same problem in the car – somebody is calling you, you can not get out the device on time, so you press twice TINY TINY green button on the hinge, and …. You call the last number you have called before…not the last missed one

- Phone application just shuts itself of and Universal comes to the desktop screen WHY? (Imagine AGAIN in the car….)

- REALLY ugly TMobile skin, but the original blue skin has to low contrast….Again IN THE CAR…

- maybe I did not try hard enough but I can not obtain predictable results with the onscreen quickdial (not to mismatch with SPEED DIAL butto which Is OK, )– how to obtain the names starting with second or third letter from the key – I don’t know, and anyway it does not work if you have about 1500 contacts as I have

- check how SPEED DIAL it was done in the old handspring TREO phones – large buttons with the names on them in two columns rather than one list, with whole screen “pages” of 12 contacts each, for me much easier to use and navigate if you have more than one screen of numbers as in the car there is no chances for easy up and down navigation, what you have to do now with the numbered list.

- With all this missing hardware buttons what happened with the D-Pad functionality – in Blue Angel it was UP- History DOWN – speed dial … but in Universal nothing works ?????

- “during the call” screen with 6 soft buttons stays on when the phone call is already finished – again you do not find the soft buttons in the right places when you want to make next call

- When I got rid of the TM skin video call button is missing, I can not use UMTS yet as it is not available in Krakow, but it will be needed some time…

- No BT icon on the desktop – no chances for the quick verification of the proper connection between headset and the unit

- I have heard that voice dialing functionality does not work when the unit is closed (I always keep it open – screen on the top)

- There is no voice dialing available when the unit is protected by the password (but this is disputable)

Any other comments / bugs????
