[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ker~Man:
I heard the same thing about the 64GB being only in Korea for the Note 2. Haven't heard that about the 3 yet... Anyhow, regarding how some people already say they have theirs and/or have ordered it, I'd be very obliged for some sort-of proof. Because, this entire thread has had multiple claims regarding such, and very few folks have even called them out about it. The lack of curiosity towards those who claim to have one is mind-boggling to me. I've searched for weeks, almost daily, and have come up with nothing from any carrier (at least in the US) that have any details regarding this seemingly "ghost" version. Yes, I know Sammy has blatantly stated there is and/or would be one. But nothing supports it as to be actually "currently" available. It goes as far as providers' support forums stating from the mouths of rep.'s, themselves, that they have no information at this time. Beats the Hell out of me. But, until further notice or at least details, I can't see how this thread remains legitimate enough to even stay open...? It's as useful as if there were a thread discussing "if you could see out of your dog's eyes for one day, would you?" Because we all know how much chance we have of actually accomplishing this if we'd want to...!? I more than welcome to be enlightened otherwise. :confused::eek:

Yeah, the guy I was supposed to buy my 64GB Note3 from said that only corporate clients would be able to pre-order them at first, 2 weeks after the regular launch. Turns out he flaked on me, and I couldn't wait any longer, so I bought the 32GB version instead. Also, there's almost zero 64GB T-Mobile Note3s on ebay on swappa, which is further evidence there's still no 64GB Note3 in sight.

Minor bummer. I can live 32GB internal as long as Sandisk hurries up with their 128GB SDXC cards! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] developmentbro:
32 gb here. They had 2 of them at the store I was at, I just didn't feel like I needed the extra space at the time. plus money is a little tight right now so i really didnt want to spend the extra money for the extra space.

I kept telling myself i was gonna wait or try and find a 64gb version but i ended up with the 32gb one anyways lol, love this phone and yes it is still a huge improvement over the note 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Yeah when I finish paying mine off I may try to get the elusive 64 GB one. I don't think I'll be getting the first Gen 64bit android phones. I anticipate issues. Lol. Always need more memory. The only thing right now that could make this phone perfect is a 64 GB Google edition with software navigation buttons.

64gb note 3 and 128gb sdxc microsdcard would definetly future proof this phone until note 5, i know the note 4 is gonna go 64bit like the S5 is already getting reports of, since apple was first to pull the trigger(even tho it's pointless until their devs can make all their apps compatible with the 64bit architecture) Were gonna have to see at

least

6-8gb memory for 64bit phones to show their "WOW" factor
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Nah. Android will run full tilt with 4gigs. The ram is only helping multitasking and games. There really isn't anything taking advantage still. And apple users are getting hosed bigtime and it is laughable. 1gb ram in the 5S. And apple is just raking in the dough with only 1gb of ram in the ipad air. I can't believe apple did that. Then again their users are stupid enough to buy that. They're effectively getting less ram because 64bit takes more addressing. Un****ingreal. Android really needs to start pushing all this power we have. Bigger games and some distributed networking/computing for ARM for us users that have an extra android device or two lying around. I would fold@home in a heartbeat with my note2 if it was available.

Has it already been said in here that tmobile dont even support the 64gb model, lol. I read through & didnt see anything. They really dont though, nor do they sell it. The only reason people see any available on ebay is because dum international sellers sell em unlocked, say they work with tmobile, then u get a phone only capable of less than 3g performance. A big lol to the ones saying they got 1 from tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
Glad I didn't wait any longer than, I almost just got the N9005 but I found a sweet deal on a 2 week old note 3 for tmobile for $530(no horror story here, everything went cool and phone is in perfect condition) so I couldn't pass it up.

Hoping the n4 will see a minimum 64gb storage!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nesta17:
Forgive me for the stupid question but why wouldn't you just copy the music to the SD cad in the first place? Am I missing something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
Because Google Music's cached and pinned music is stripped of all metadata, and because it'd then be inaccessible and unupdatable from within the Google Music player as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nesta17:
I have not seen any 128gb micro SD cards for sale. I have not even seen any reports that they are coming soon. Do you have any links etc?

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

Are you talking about the metadata being inaccessible? And what is the "metadata"?

Because I can access all my music on the memory card from within the Google Music app. At the top you can choose "on device" or "all music". All my ratings data etc are preserved.

Sorry but I'm just trying to understand what I'm missing by keeping the music on my memory card native vs. using the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
What you're missing is being able to free up space on your INTERNAL SD, which is the only place that Google Music will officially work from anymore, by using hacks that let you transparently move it over to 64GB and soon 128GB EXTERNAL microSDXC cards instead.

If you just manually "copy" your pinned Google Music mp3 files over to an external card and try to play it that way, you lose all the metadata (id3tags for artist info, artwork, etc) because they're in the GM app's database keyed by the unique filename.mp3.

e.g.:

$ adb shell ls -l /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/music | tail -5
-rwxrwxr-x system media_rw 13199150 2013-11-26 02:23 8743.mp3

*** Tag information for 919.mp3

As you can see, the metadata's missing.

And here's an example of what the metadata's supposed to looks like, from an mp3 on my HDD before it's uploaded to google's cloud and then downloaded again inside the app:

$ id3info ~/Music/Electronic/Deadmau5/Deadmau5\ -\ 2010\ -\ 4x4\=12/01.\ Some\ Chords.mp3

*** Tag information for /home/jaf/Music/Electronic/Deadmau5/Deadmau5 - 2010 - 4x4=12/01. Some Chords.mp3

=== TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): 4x4=12

=== TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 1
=== TCON (Content type): (52)
*** mp3 info

Bitrate: 320KBps

Make sense now? :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nesta17:
I copy music files from my iTunes library directly to my SD card and all the metadata is preserved. Does the above only apply to music bought from Google Play?

Why copy from the "pinned" location when you can copy directly from your HDD and bypass the google cloud? I'm still missing something I guess.

Yes.

You're only missing the convenience of using only the cloud + GM to manage music. My local stash is only played locally, on my PC, and serves as a backup. All the song ratings, and edited metadata lives in Google's version now (unless I wanted to download the entire library from Google again and overwrite mine, but there's no point in doing that unless I lost my backups)

So what kind of Note 3 does those 6 people who voted for "others" have? I thought there's only like 32 and 64GB versions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
The international Note 3 (N9005) has a 16GB version, but T-Mobile sure doesn't. Maybe they're confused. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
I would rephrase it from most people to few people.

Memory changes quickly as does pricing for it. 64Gb sdcard's are now commonly in the $45 range for class 10 cards, 128gb is around the corner.

Paying extra for the internal 64gb model which is hard to find in the first place doesn't seem cost effective.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
Except that Google, I don't know, maybe trying to push their cloud service, is cutting support for SD cards more and more.

I'm not sure if 4.42 supports installing programs to SD anymore and if you ever wanted to have dual boot, you better have 64GB internal memory, the firmwares alone could probably take close to 20GB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
Google isn't killing support for external storage; they're just not as enthusiastic about it anymore because "one storage location to rule them all" is much simpler, faster, and more reliable, for most people (and google wants you online for ad $$, obviously).

Google even added external SD support back into Google Music a month or so ago, which is awesome, as before you needed to root + xposed + music2sd, or root + a finicky symlink||bindmount hack. As far the old App2SD goes, Samsung added it back to their TouchWhiz ROMs, but I never needed to use it for the last 3 months on my Note3 because 32GB is pretty spacious for hundreds of apps and dozens of Gigabyte-sized games. If you're rooted, check out FolderMount, which lets you do the same thing sortof app2sd thing, but only for the HUGE apps you want to move over.

(Can't wait for 128GB microsdxc. They're coming...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
I pay 30 dollars a month for tmobiles unlimited data and texting +100 minutes anywhere calling. I mostly use wifi calling at the house if not use the landline and only sparingly use any of my 100 minute calls while ouf unless emergency ofc, i have a workphone i use for that :P

Anyways theres this 5 dollar app called plex that i fell in love with that lets you stream your music,movies,porn,pictures etc that goes perfect with my note 3 and its unlimited data!! I used to carry like 20gb worth of music movies and porn:p combined, but now this app saves me a ton of sd space. I cant say its for everyone cuz i dont know how great your signal is everywhere but where im at even at 2 bars sometimes, my streaming is unbelievably smooth. So yeah theres no need to carry a fraction of my collection of music(250gb+ total)movies(over 3TB!)porn(over a TB, yea lol i need to delete a couple mbs:p)

Only thing thats eating away my storage space now is apps/games data/obb files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
You do realize you're trying to make storage space sound like nothing and you have well over 10x more data invested in porn than movies and you're talking about it like it's nothing in an age where on site storage is more private and secure than off site storage even if it's only a little bit. Lol. Smdh.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
Plex isnt cloud based tho, its all stored from the safety of your home computer. It would take ages to upload all thst data to the cloud.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
I was just going to ask where did he get 4.5TB cloud storage for free. LOL. To be honest all those methods compliment each other. Streaming won't work on the plane, outside of country or even here, in less populated and less cell covered areas and in my case I;m limited to 2.5GB high speed and I won't change it since I do need voice (Doesn't WiFi calling count against min?, I think it does on my plan).

But going back to the topic, 32 GB is enough IMO if supplemented with SD card, but I can see how some may want 64GB, but the problem is do they even have them for general sale, or is it special order? I have not seen 64GB at Tmo, but never asked either. As a matter of fact the only color in all my local stores was black and since I wanted white I had to order online.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jeep447:
I remember saying something like that when I bought my first computer back in 1995.. It was a Hewlett Packard 75 mhz Pentium with 8mb of ram - that's not a typo either.. 8 megabytes of ram, a 14.4 baud modem, and a whopping 1gb hard drive... and for an extra $300 bucks on top of the $2,600 bucks it cost already, I could've had it upgraded to a rocket fast 28.8 baud modem and a 1.5gb "ocean of space" hard drive. LOL!! I remember thinking "There's no point spending that much extra money because I already "know" I'd never use up that much space in a million years!" Well it hasn't been quite a million years yet and I've already filled 3 external 2tb hard drives, a 1tb external hard drive, and a 2tb internal hard drive!! Anyway believe it or not the moral of the story isn't just that I'm an old bastard who got royally screwed into spending that much money for something that turned out to be the equivalent of a calculator by today's standards, but also that you should never say never!! Don't get me wrong though I'm well aware that we're all guilty of doing it from time to time, but convincing yourself that you could possibly "know" what you'll want or need in the future is the most common form of denial there is. :D

I've never had more then 16gb on a phone prior to this on. This Note 3 i got has 32gb. I would say there really isn't much of a reason you need 64 with an SD card on the phone. My phone came with 26gb free out of the box stock. You're just a horder if you need more as that means you can't just get rid of a couple things here and there. I mean you can put 10-15 massive games on there at once. Don't get me wrong, if you want it then by all means get what you want, but there just isn't a need for 64gb on the phone unless you don't have an SD slot to expand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jeep447:
I think what's missing from your statement are the words "for me" at the end of almost all your sentences. Thankfully you're not the king of the world considering how easy it is for you to decide what everyone does or doesn't need based on your situation alone, because since you don't need that much space obviously it means anyone who does must be a hoarder of some sort! I could always be wrong but I think they call that "little man syndrome " man. LOL I know it's hard to believe and all, but not everyone on earth has and does exactly the same things as you do and if they don't it doesn't automatically mean they have some sort of psychological disorder.. you bonehead. Lol People crack me up. It never ceases to amaze me how some people can go their whole life and still never quite grasp the concept of "putting yourself in someone else's shoes", yet god forbid someone tries telling them what to do or how to do it! Funny (and amazingly convenient) how it's always a one way street with people like that. I guess I'm supposed to say thank you now for allowing me to live in your world.

Yeah your opinion is that anyone who might need more space than 32gb must be a "hoarder", and I'm the insecure one. Makes perfect sense! I never once said that you're not entitled to your opinion because I know that even though it's a ridiculously simple minded opinion, you're still entitled to it. My point was that just because you can't see the need for something over there in your little world, it doesn't mean anyone else who might need it automatically has psychological problems. I fail to see how expressing my opinion that maybe you should try to be a little more open minded makes me insecure though, but whatever helps you sleep at night :D

So just to get it straight.. I'm the insecure one who attacks people for no reason, especially since you never said anyone who needs more space than 32gb is a "hoarder that can't let stuff go", so that's why I'm the one who's butt hurt for no reason?

Its absolutely your right to want more storage but I personally dont understand how 64gb isnt enough of space for someone. I mean these things are phones not external hardrives or computers. To each his own though. Maybe in the futures when apps become much bigger, photos take more space because of better resolution or what not then I can understand the need of more storage but today I think 32gb is plenty enough. For me at least.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
These things are more external hd and computer like than a regular phone, these are after all smartphones! If all you use your phone for is making calls and texting maybe a little internet..than why buy a smartphone like the note series, which is basically a pocket pc that is more than capable of dealing with app/game hoarders junkies etc like myself.

Speaking of app sizes and pictures taken, they are much bigger than yesteryear. Every year apps and games are getting much larger in size not to forget the camera megapixels are probaly going to be upwards of 16mb on note4. For people taking tons of pics/videos this can rack up huge ammounts of gb real fast and not everyone wants to transfer them to pc, they want to leave them on their phone for quicker access and viewing.

...but thats just me!

You're misunderstanding my post. I think 64 gb is a very reasonable amount of memory for these days but some folks are never satisfied. Its a smartphone, not a computer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] papabear:
Actually, our device like most others today, are computers with voice capability. Sure, it is labeled as a "smart phone but is quite a lot more than "just a phone". If you only use it as a phone, good for you. I know a good amount of people that do not have computers, but devices like ours that they use as such. Even though most places I go have Internet access, I enjoy being able to listen to music or watch movies without the need for interwebs. SO, as much space as I can get is necessary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] barondebxl:
Well thats why its called a "smartphone" in the first place because it's more than just a phone. But thats also why its called a smartphone and not an external hardrive that makes calls. 32 gb is more than reasonable nowadays, if ppl want more then they are totally entitled to it, im just saying 32 gb and 64 gb should be plenty enough for a smartphone.
