Even without the S-Pen I'd still keep it for 2.3G Snapdragon 800, SD Card, USB 3.0, 5.7" display, IR...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] neubauej:
S-pen is neat and all, but if it wasn't present it wouldn't change my mind on the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ArborRes:
Without the S-pen, I don't see the reason to buy this phone particularly, though I like it even without the S-pen.

LG G2 would be just as good of a choice with its beautiful 5.2" screen and more manageable size.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
I really dont see how people think that the G2 is even somewhat comparable to this phone (I'm not flaming you, I just really hate the G2). I tried the phone in the tmobile store and I just couldn't get past LG's custom UI. It looks like its from the 90's. Now if CM gets official for that phone, then I might really consider it. But for now, this picture looks so bad to me, I don't think that I would ever buy a LG phone unless its a Nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] staryoshi:
If it weren't for the stylus and extensive software support I would have waited for the Nexus 5. I bought this phone for its feature set. (and to replace both my Epic 4G Touch and Nexus 7 in one fell swoop)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] godsafk:
The s pen is a nice addition but I was drawn to this phone for its screen size and specs. This will be my first foray into the phablets, picking it up tomorrow after work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AcostaJA:
I only use the S-Pen on my note 2 to interact with menus on Web pages and other elements that requires Mouse Hover input from the user.

So on Firefox with flash I'm capable to interact with most (if not all) legacy sites that requires mouse hovering to use some features (as some bank portals, etc)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nba1341:
I use it to take room measurements (for cabinets) no pad of paper needed anymore
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
I just noticed that. That's actually really useful for old sites that aren't optimized for touch. I just may use the pen more now :)

How do you do that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] combatmedic870:
The only reason i bought this phone was for the stylus. If it didnt have the stylus i would have bought the LG G2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gordonzhao:
The s pen is a bonus and it does come in handy, though I find it I use it more on my note 10.1 than my note ii, and maybe use it more with the iii as it has better functions for it now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
I bought mine because I was using an SII, and I really liked it. I saw the zero down deal with this included, so I gave it a shot. I liked the screen size, and the specs of it, but didn't really think about the S Pen. After playing around with it a while I fell in love with that thing. So handy. So to sum it up for me. I would still buy it without the pen, but man does it have some good uses.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gakio12:
I got this phone just because of the Spen. I wanted something to take notes in class and also something I could do some quick calculus on. I can't wait for Cyanogenmod though, I absolutely hate TouchWiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
I probably would. What other top spec phone has a removable battery and accepts mSD cards?

LG, HTC, Moto, and Sony have all gone unibody.

Although I would like a fully metal phone, Samsung still has its advantages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
at first i thought the thread's question was stupid. but having thought abt it, its a great question. it got me thinking.

anyway, i was thinking abt getting the LG Optimus G Pro cuz it has 1080p, 5.5 inch display, fast processor and 2 GB ram. compared with the note 3 tho, i'd get the note 3 regardless of the S pen. its got farrrrrr more features than the LG. plus, its got 3 GB ram, 2.3 mhz processor and larger display. it feels good in the hand too. also, u gonna get up to date support from samsung and 3rd party development from xda. LG is known to drop support on its phones. it hasnt given its flagship phone, the Optimus G Pro, any updates which is typical, sad and stupid of LG. development from xda developers for the Optimus G Pro is very slow, few and far in between and non-commital. its a no brainer.. the note 3 beats the LG big time across the board.

at the at&t store, i found myself playing with it more than the LG that was nxt to it. funny thing tho, the black note 3 looks much bigger than the white one.. weird.

the S pen is a nice bonus. but it wouldnt have changed my mind abt getting the phone if it didnt have one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
Lol. Thanks :D

After reading some of the posts in this thread, I decided to only use the s pen for a day, and it actually works fine. I'm actually writing this post with the pen. Punctuation is annoying, but everything else seems to be working great.

l just Wish the pen was a bit more sensitive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
I love the S-Pen feature. I bought the original Note after seeing the S-Pen as all my previous devices had been resistive touch and I used the stylus a lot for writing and drawing on those devices. The S-Pen is just so well implemented compared to resistive touchscreens, only phone writing device to properly handle palm rejection. I don't use it a ton but knowing it's always there if I need to write something down or make a quick sketch is nice. I won't buy another device without it. I have my order in for the Note 3 and think I'll continue down the Note path for years to come.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sess:
If there was no spen on the note 3 aka a smaller galaxy mega, I would be the proud owner of a Sony z ultra right now. To be honest the only reason I went note 3 instead was the lack of wifi calling (likely never to come to the phone). Pressure sensitivity is a nice option and there are a lot of nice Samsung features I do use but would trade for the larger screen and nicer phone body like air view finger and action memo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
the s pen is amazing for games that require a bit more finesse
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DKYang:
If there wasn't an S Pen, then I wouldn't have bought it. My previous phone was the S4 and I wouldn't have spent/waste money 5 months later for a bigger version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ScorpionKing76:
If it wasn't for the S-Pen I probably would have gone with an LG G2 or whatever it is called. I really bought this for the S Pen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] unlockingsky:
bought it because of the big screen and processing power.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] id10terrordfw:
What's an Spen? Sounds Swedish...

Sent from a giant phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
what separates the note from other phablets is the s pen.

I would have had a harder time deciding between other big phones if it did not have it

I use it all the time for more than drawing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] htc fan89:
I bought it for the display size and s pen is just the cherry on top ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Anthony820:
Slightly off topic, but how do you guys use it daily? After reading these posts I've considered using it exclusively for a few days, but the majority of my use is browsing reddit or making phone calls. I feel extremely pretentious pulling out the pen just to scroll, and fail to see how anyone needs to write on screenshots so often.

Am I missing other amazing features or are some of you just using your phone so drastically different that I can't even imagine what you do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SR4130:
I didn't even know of the feature when I bought it, but the pen Window app is freaking awesome. Especially when you enable it to work with any app. That alone has me using the pen every day. I use it to scroll pages too without ever having to touch the screen, or move my hand constantly from top to bottom. I came from my s4 basically just for the spen and a little for the bigger screen.

Hehe and I love putting new cool sounds for when I pull out my spen and put it in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noc007:
I don't use the S Pen everyday, but I do use it on occasion and find it helpful. Being able to take a hand written note without dealing with an on-screen keyboard (I miss having a physical) is a big help. Sometimes it's just easier to jot something down than to type it out on a phone anyways and the S Pen has a quick shortcut for that.

I may consider another phablet in the future that doesn't come with an integrated stylus, but nothing today piqued my interest. Sony Experia Z, LG G2, and HTC One Max are the only three that I am aware of with modern hardware and I wasn't digging any of them. The G2 had some potential, but I just can't get past that button placement. This coming from someone that's been a Samsung bigot for over ten years due to bad experiences with their products; yeah, I hold a grudge for a long time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] khoikn:
As far as the S Pen goes, it's more of a novelty to me.

I mean, it's nice and works well, but it wasn't a deal breaker/maker for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chong67:
Its the big screen size that I could not get this phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JUSMEJOSE:
Yes sir! :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EvoYas:
Just because it has an awesome feature like SPen, dont mean you have to be using it all the time to prove your self its worth it.

I use it maybe 20% of the time daily, and it gets the job done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
I don't use it a lot because it is new and I've not had the luxury of playing with it much yet.

I'm sure I will be using it more and more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Fabian182:
The s pen is something nice to have but all I care about is what it has under the hood. 3Gb of ram quad core processor what else can I ask this phone is a beast!

To be honest with u guys I was about to buy the samsung round which it has everything the note 3 has minus the pen but it comes with then flexible lcd. But I felt in love wwith the note 3 so here I am now l lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrej201:
reason why i bought the note 2

1 battery 2 music sound amazing 3 big screen and crispy 4 speed 5 game 6 mini pc

on black friday im going to get the note 3 i hope the audio is the same or better
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] t1990le:
Hey Guys I have a factory Note 2 and just bought a galaxy gear the other day. I have seen reports of this watch working with the s4 and even the htc one. Can someone help me get this thing working with my note 2? I found the .apk file online and was able to download and install it to my note 2 and successfully connect the gear to my note 2 via bluetooth but the gear seems to be stuck on the spinning screen. It will take and send calls via the phone and work as a bluetooth head set but that's all. Thanks again in advance for all the help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] koreankabachy:
Not sure it is currently working with gn2. I think you will have to wait for 4.3 like the rest of us. The clock working on it? I have the gn2 as well and been waiting for someone to mention they got it working. If you got it to sync I assume you got the clock at least working.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] vectron:
Will have to wait until November for 4.3 on N2 :( Unless someone will root Gear earlier :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] t1990le:
After playing with it for a while I finally got it to work with the apk file posted on another thread here. :) CONFIRMED the galaxy gear works for the factory 4.1.2 note 2. Unfortunately so far the weather, contacts, notifications and svoice doesn't sync with the gnote2 but everything else seems to work. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] delcopa:
What post? I need the apk i only have the stuck spinning wheel.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] t1990le:
The 2nd post in the thread titled "gear mmanager .apk" I too was stuck on the spinning wheel when I hit the gear manager from the aptoid app. The one referenced in there works well.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] delcopa:
Fantastic! Found that just before your post but glad to know right one. Yep that's the one i used prior also lol.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] t1990le:
No problem! Glad I could help :) I can't wait for the update to take full use of the watch but until then im satisfied with how much it'll do. Good luck with getting it working for your device!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] delcopa:
Same place as you currently but glad it isn't a paper weight waiting lol. Wonder if we change the device specs like how you can install Google wallet. If we do this wonder if we could access programs and stuff for the watch also.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] t1990le:
Yea I know right lol I dont know. . . I could be worth a try but I think the phone needs the 4.3 update for the new bluetooth compatability. I can honestly say that I'm kinda of disappointed that Samsung hasn't released the 4.3 update for the s3, s4, and note 2 already.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mrgy05:
I wanted to confirm if anyone else was looking that the problems described (

) is exactly the case for me. If you can get a .apk of the gear manager certain functions will work except for what was listed above.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] miyklusha:
Does Gallery work or can you install additional apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mrgy05:
As of right now with stock (NOT ROOTED) NOTE 2 here is a summary of what I have working:

Working:

Camera: Works, syncs on any settings correctly (charging sync only etc)

Timer: Works (doesnt need BT for any function)

Stopwatch: Works (doesnt need BT for any function)

Voice memo: Works, syncs on any settings correctly

Gallery: Works, syncs on any settings correctly

Pedo: Works (doesnt need BT for any function)

Schedule / Calender: WORKS, I've heard others having problems? Mine does sync with my events.

Contacts: WORKS, I've heard others having problems? Mine does sync with my contacts. Settings also change (Choose all contacts or just favorites)

Logs: Works, syncs on any settings correctly

Not Working:

Weather: does NOT work. Gear wants me to change settings on widget / within gear but still doesn't sync weather (displays "no info")

SVoice: does NOT work. Same as weather, wants settings changed in SVoice but still doesn't relay info.

Notifications: Does NOT work. Nothing will push to the Galaxy Gear for a notification (email, sms, google, FB, etc)

As for the apps, I can navagate into the gear manager, select apps, go into the market where the Gear apps exist and attempt to download however once they begin to install I get an error "try later" (0). All gear apps (not included in the gear manager) are not available to me. Not sure if they can be downloaded on the side as .apk's and used? I can't find any to try.

Sidenote: The BT seems to be functioning normally, I get auto detection and maintain pairing all day.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BUS DR1V3R:
I have the same working functionality running Jedi XP12 and SaberKernel.

Gear Manager on Note 2 & S3 without Android 4.3

I just picked up my Samsung Galaxy Gear this morning I own an S3 and a Note 2 but yesterday after trying in vain do download the Gear Manager app from the Samsung Apps Store from my desktop browser there it was in the search but it is only available for download through Kies. When you plug in your device, Kies asks for the Android version, won’t accept 4.3 and if you type 4.1.2 then the gear manager app disappears from the search.

I downloaded the apk from xda instead and it installed perfectly on both my devices. It turns out that the Gear and gear manager work properly with the exception of Notifications, the Weather and S-voice. With S-voice you get prompted on the gear to accept the terms of use agreement on your mobile but it does not appear on your device screen so the s-voice use on the gear does not continue. Notifications and Weather update doesn’t work but everything else does.

Cheers!

AS ALWAYS USE AT YOUR OWN RISK​

To install this theme you must be using a Rom that supports the T-Mobile Theme engine. (eg. Paranoid Android, Cyangenmod, AOKP, P.A.C, etc,) you must first make sure the system theme is applied ( settings/themes/select system theme) once that is done reboot your device or clear app data from themes, & theme chooser provider.select flats theme from the themes provider list and apply it. if you get a message saying this theme is missing assets for your screen size, ignore that and apply anyways ( this is because I build my theme in windows vs. a linux enviroment) once it's applied reboot your device so the theme is applied 100% correctly system wide. right now this theme supports xhdpi devices. it might work on smaller res devices, but is untested on those
