Can someone confirm which SIM is being used?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] toastybroski:
Supposedly it does not... I am in need of new ear buds too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudbury78:
all I want to know is if Verizon kept their pattern and removed the wifi toggle and continuous home screen scroll.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Schlanz:
No earbuds just like the last note. Sammy's included earbuds with the S series suck anyway.

The branding isn't terrible. Basically the same placement as it was with the Note 2, but a little smaller. Thankful to have a clean home button this time though lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudbury78:
schlanz.. can you please just check the wifi toggle in the notification pull down. is it gone as normal? Do the home screens scroll or does it stop at the end? Thanks bud!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Schlanz:
micro sim like all samsung phones. Interestingly there is one preinstalled this time, first for a samsung to my knowledge. And curiously, it isn't springloaded.. thing was a bit of a pain to get out honestly. Not sure if there is some kind of stupid trick to it but I basically had to stab it with a sim ejecter and drag it out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SuperTongue:
I'd also like to know this... A screenshot would be nice!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Schlanz:
yep it's normal, no silly dedicated wifi notification thing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
wow i am shocked
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Despyse:
Sweeeeeet, hated that thing...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudbury78:
Shocked the wifi toggle is in!!!!! How about scrolling home screens and app drawer????
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Schlanz:
Nope, unfortunately. Sucks but wasn't expecting otherwise.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] asianflavor:
Can you jump into the bootloader and post a screenshot if possible? Or at least type out what is says, especially if the Knox flag is there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudbury78:
Huge bummer. Only reason for me now to Root. The wifi toggle was the other.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ssmaster:
Doesn't the WIFI toggle only show up once you set up a WIFI network? If you never setup wifi and only use MOBILE DATA the whole time, the toggle doesn't appear.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudbury78:
S4 and Note 2 default has the wifi toggle removed from the phone. Had to root to add it back in or just use a wifi widget but its not the same.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ssmaster:
I think we are all confusing between the "VERIZON" huge wifi toggle, and the "samsung" small wifi toggle. When I first got my S3 I did not have any wifi setup on it purposefully so I didn't have to see the dedicated wifi toggle taking up a whole line in my notifications. My wife's Galaxy S4 always forces her on wifi when we are home
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudbury78:
im referring to the first wifi toggle in the drop down menu next to Bluetooth, sound, etc.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Schlanz:
The Note 2 media dock works with the Note 3! Was sorta expecting this to be the case, but still.

Because of the way the port is though, the device isn't exactly centered on the dock. No big deal I guess. Just glad it works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cgadgetz:
It has arrived

Just received my note 3 7 mins ago lol I pre ordered on 9/6
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MrBigFeathers:
Did it come with the replacement S-Pen nubs?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Schlanz:
Yep, 5 of them
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Harleydroid:
Hi I am planning on picking up the Note 3 in store and just wanted to be sure if it comes with 32g internal or 16 gig? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bossei:
32gb
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BA0714:
I know there's lots of unboxing on YouTube of the note 3, but there isn't any of Verizon kind. Would be nice if someone made one. :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudbury78:
id be curious to see what apps are available in the multi-window feature. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Rockwell22:
I pre-ordered mine on Monday so I'm OK with waiting one more day any one in Cali get there's yet I'm in palmdale
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vileSpyderPig:
Glad your wrong suzook. I was worried. As I was ordering by phone yesterday the vz website said gn3 was back ordered. But luckily my ship status changed to: shipped Estimated delivery Thur 10/10/2013 10:30 am
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Mine arrived at the FedEx in Memphis, TN yesterday and has yet to move. I'm in Orange County, CA. Also i ordered right after they started taking pre-orders.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
airplanes ship out later. what is it from tn to ca on a plane? 5 hours? if that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
I'm hoping Brotha, how's your order looking?

Also anyone know what cases you can buy in VZW's store? My Spigen Neo Hybrid looks like its never gonna get to me...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Mine updated a bit ago. left Memphis at 3 pm. and dude dont even mention cases to me!! LOL i went to bestbuy last night to see if they had any and guy sold me you have to give the manufacturers time to get the phones and make cases. I said first i dont agree and if that is the case what about samsung oem cases that make the phone? he had a deer in a headlight look and said "I have no clue man. Never thought about that" i was like wow! lol

but anyways ordered a spigen bounce case on ebay on 10/7 and paid $7 for 2 day shipping to have today a day before. what do they do. ship it today! i mean really!?! so i bought a clear luvvitt case and a cheap tpu on in a town a few hours away from me hoping to get tomorrow and of course my luck is they havent even shipped them yet. and my neo and slim spigen's dont ship until next friday! So i dont know if i will even use note 3 until weekend. def not bringing to work friday without a case

what about your case situation?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rjackson23:
sent from my bad ass note 2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
So looks like FedEx is only guilty of being slow to update their tracking status.

Now it says it left Memphis this morning at 9:22am.

I'm now confident I will be getting the beast tomorrow morning. Our FedEx guy is here usually around 10.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
I ordered the Spigen Neo Hybrid and it hasn't shipped yet. I have a tracking number but it still says that the shipper received the info. Depending on what VZW is rocking in store I might just grab something from them tomorrow or today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] christianpeso:
I work for Best Buy.There are no cases in-stock yet. Even though the phone has been out on other carriers, still no accessories. Even with the Samsung store, still nothing. Checked online and the official Samsung cases are showing, just not available yet. They didnt lie to you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
oh i know i just didnt like how the guy replied. i wasnt blaming bestbuy i blame sammy all the way. should have accessories out before phone

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BA0714:
I had to call Verizon because I just found out that the phone is going to my brothers address which he lives in a complex and it always goes to the wrong complex number. So i changed it to my address, but the Itts ticket number takes 24hrs to clear. I have my fingers crossed that I get it tomorrow evening sometime and not the next day.

GTRs are awesome lol I just lowered mine put some rims and a cold air intake in but I love it, awesome car
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
The Verizon branding doesn't look too horrible I guess... I wonder if the "tire shine trick" would lift that off without too much problem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MACHEK:
Seriously, spend $700 on a phone and they won't include the headphones, Wtf? That just pisses me off.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
don't be pissed... my wife got the sammy buds with her S4 and they ain't nuthin worth listening too, trust me...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
I see both sides but they are $5 headphones for oem Sammy ones on eBay so they aren't that nice so not a huge deal

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MichaelMcC:
I'm curious if the VZW will have the wireless charging option and if VZW did away with Privacy Guard. And if you can install App Oops Starter from the Play store. Yes I'm a privacy nut. Too many years working IT in a hospital.

Looks like i have to buy a battery door... Damnit, why can't they just leave it alone. I have never thought, "i forget who my service provider is... thank God they print their name big and bold on the back of my phone!"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] roxboxxx:
Magic Eraser sponges from the food store or home depot. . NO SERIOUS - i use them to lift dirt, paint you name it. As a mater of fact, my last white flip case on my G2 was filthy inside. I used a damp magic eraser and BAM ! clean as a bums plate on thanksgiving. Its the single best trick I know short of the Scandinavian flick. If the sponge itself wont do it, mix in some mild auto rubbing compound.

These are the sponges I am talking about:

I bought a Note 3 on T-Mobile for my wife & it has earbuds & extra pen tips.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] metalsnakebite:
UAG What type of case is that? Can you link it please?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
Tire shine is a creeper and it won't damage the plastic... put a little dab on there before bedtime and spread it over the logo with your finger and repeat each night ... if the logo is just laser printed onto the plastic , the tire shine will creep under it and lift it... if it is clearcoated on there then it won't work... goo gone does the same but it doesn't play well with some plastics... that magic eraser method mentioned above leaves a dull finish on shiny plastic so I don't like that one on a brand new beast either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] roxboxxx:
Those are knock off sammys - I have 2 sets - utter crap. I still use my OEMs from my s3 which sound great. I have a draw full of busted beats, so the OEMs have done well. I do see unboxing videos from outside the US that have headphones. I swear I also saw an unbox in china or japan with 2 battery's and a doc - looking for that 1 now.

It's not for us users... it's advertising for anybody standing in line next to you with a t-mobile or sprint phone thinking "crap... my phone won't even get a signal in here..."

That's what I don't like about it... I have to sign a 2 year contract... I have to give up my unlimited data and pay premium prices for your crappy 6GB plan ... I pay my hard earned money for a new device.... AND THEN... they lock down the bootloader... fill it full of bloatware... and turn it into a walking billboard :rolleyes:

But I still get the best service in my area... and the guys at the store are really cool... and I figure my way around all the other BS
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sinister69:
When tot verizon today and they have some nice inepico cases there already. Picking one up tomorrow before my note gets here
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gerg004:
Yea its bogus. People can say what they want about Samsung quality. But I've had my Galaxy Nexus buds for about 2 years now, mowed my grass a million times with them. They more than do the trick. Earbuds are like sunglasses for me. If I buy an expensive pair, I'll lose them, break them or watch the kids break them. So I appreciated getting them, especially when paying what we pay for phones. And even more so since they go to other carriers, but not Verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
I saw that too... it was 2 batteries and a desktop charger, earbuds, and extra stylus tips... the guy said he ordered the "bundle promo"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] billymaloney3:
How'd you get it early?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gerg004:
Wonder how the black battery door would look on the white phone. I went white this time because the Galaxy line in white with a black case looks super classy. I just prefer not to have a case... tho the different color back as opposed to a case kind of wrapping the front, may look a little odd. Either way, good looking out
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
Will do... it'll probly take a few days (nights) but I'll post back...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MACHEK:
Yeah not sure, but I was wondering the same thing. I bought a white one as well, but actually am having both black and white sent to me because verizon screwed the order up and sent a black one. Too bad I have to send the black one back, almost got a two for one deal :)

If I really wanted to I could open the black one too, try it, and send it back, but I don't really see the need. Then some other guy is gonna get an already opened one, no thanks, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] JuanNut:
Oh man. It's here in my local distribution center! So close! Does it reveal how much off a dork I am when I say that I won't get much sleep tonight?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gerg004:
You bought the white phone, did you order a white or black battery door? If you happened to order black and don't mind taking a pic of the black door on the white phone when you eventually received everything that'd be awesome.

There's a decent amount of cases on Amazon, but all the nicer ones are sold out. I usually never buy accessories for the VzW store, always Amazon. But I was just made aware my employee discount extends to 25% off accessories in store too. So instead of having to wait a few weeks for the stuff online I guess I'll mozy in and see what they have.

As others have already pointed out tonight the Incipio cases are really, really nice. But they're all "pre-order" as well from their website. Ahh the excitement of a new phone is like nothing else.

I did the same as this other fellow; the Bionic is pretty terrible though... I'll probably sell it for a little bit of profit and call it a day.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
Yah, I was just poking fun at my buddy. We both dumped our s4's early enough to get a good price. I, unfortunately, get a little goofy with buying and selling phones. For me, the bionic was the most disappointing phones I bought. All that hype and big thumbs down. It'll get the job done for a backup phone though!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Benjamin150:
Going to Verizon right when they open to hopefully pick up a black one! I went to Best Buy today during my lunch break and took a look at them. The black one feels fantastic, wow. Really does have a "leatherish" feel to it, I was surprised.

The white one however.. Eh... Feels more just like a textured plastic. Better than glossy for sure, but not sure why or how there's such a big difference between the two? I figured reviews were exaggerating over the difference just to find faults but.. Sadly, no.

I finally said I needed to go and I would bring it to vzw later. They gave me some B'S about they have to activate it before leaving the store.
