[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
Had the GN3 about 4 days now, rooted on the first with CF-AutoRoot, easiest root ever and no problems yet. Still on the stock ROM but will be flashing TWRP and Freeza's DeOdexed Stock ROM this weekend if nothing else is available by then, gonna start ripping out the bloatware.

I upgraded from the Galaxy Epic 4G and boy what an upgrade it was, the GN3 is insanely powerful.

Just be aware that the development on the SM-N900P is growing quickly but has yet to solve some important issues being investigated;

* Nandroid backups in TWRP not recoverable, CWM is not recommended for recovery (not sure why)

* Some users are having issues with Titanium Backup, though I haven't used it or experienced it.

* KNOX binary counter cannot be reset once triggered, It breaks your warranty and it shows your device as being rooted/custom. It is currently considered permanent. Modify your Galaxy Note 3 at your own risk.

* WiFi Tether apps bring up a Sprint Hot Spot notification with only one confirmed workaround. (Wifi Tether Router, a paid app)

* Only Stock Odex/DeOdex ROMs available at the moment, developers are working hard to clean up the Samsung/Spring mess and implement solutions for the problems listed above.

What did I miss...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
Good info, thanks. I'm not planning on flashing anything at the moment as it's way too soon. I dont use wifi tether much but I will fool around with some other tether mods that I use on my Note II and see if that works. Other than that all I want to do right out of the box is root the thing and de-bloat it... for now :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
If you're having the call issues like some others are I wondered if you have another device with Sprint that you can do some test calls on and see if the problems is there also? I haven't had any issues here with my Note II. Problem for me is I am planning on trading mine in at Radio Shack and if the Note 3 turns out to be a huge piece of crap then I'm screwed cause my Note II will be gone. I read that someone is going on his 4th Note 3 cause of the call issues but isnt sure if it's Sprint or the device yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
So is there anyone who has a Sprint Note 3 that has no issues whatsoever with it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iondokk:
I will be returning mine before my 14 day period is done. this is a great phone but there are some issues with the hardware or software don't know which. I also drop my phone calls all the time. This is a known sprint issue that they have to fix. Half the time it won't even stay connected to my air rave. This is truly a beast of a phone but I think I would wait.

On a side note I've never had these problems with my note 2 I will be reactivating it until they come up with a solution.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrcrptguy:
I've not had any problems with my GN3. Calls connet fine, wifi stays connected when I use it, great sound quality, I've read about some issues people have had but it sounds like the majority of them could be contributed to Sprint service and not necessarily the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
See that's what I'm thinking too. I have the Note II and have not had a single issue with it but I am reading about all of these Note 3 issues and the more I hear the more it sounds software related. Calls sounding like **** on Sprint but not while roaming or not Wifi calls etc... That;s definitely not hardware. I hope Sprint and Samsung fix it before they both look like total idiots and everyone takes their phones back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] crusnik23:
I've had zero issues with mine so far and I'm on day #5. I still haven't rooted for the reasons others have stated. I did order my phone online from Sprint though because none of the retailers here had the black phone in stock. I went from the HTC One to this and couldn't be happier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] smark72:
Why not sell your note 2 on craigslist for 300 to 400 and have money left over after getting the GN3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jgregg82188:
Best buy trade in for note 2 is 200
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
How much is their Note 3 though?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iondokk:
After having to use my wifes SIII last night because I dropped the same call 4 times. I took my Note 3 back today with the intent to wash my hands of it for now, my Sprint guy said it's gotta be a hardware issue. So I let him replace the phone. I am having the same issues! Dropped calls that are digitized. It so happens that the Sprint product rep was there today and when I mentioned it to her she looked at me like I had lobster claws coming out of my head. This one is gong back as well! Going back to my Note 2. Errrrrrrhhh!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jgregg82188:
its 349.99 on contract but they will price match wirefly 299
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bralgar:
I've had mine since release day. I got the first one at my Sprint store. I waited two days before I rooted. I have had no issues what so ever with my GN3, either stock or rooted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] iondokk:
That's encouraging.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LilWeech:
Same here no problem whatsoever and I'm stock rooted .Had the phone for a week already .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asaqwert:
May sound like a stupid question....but if I go to do the factory restore on my n900w8 which I have rooted and put twrp on, will it work fine? Since the firmware is not available I really am not interested in risking things at all.....Any knowledge that Rus has worked for people for sure or not worked? What may happen? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pakure:
hi guys...I am getting a new OTA in India on my n5100...downloading it still...70mb size
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] apollostees:
Cool. Hopefully it's MH3.

I'll be checking this thread all day.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
Updated this afternoon couple of hours back. All seems good as of now.

s-pen offset/ alarms with magnetic cover and battery consumption :)

It's not MH3 but rather One major build ahead of that : 5100DDCMI2
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pakure:
It's MI2
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
Nope! The Build is MI2.

The baseband is MI1, even in your screenshot.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] geek78:
MI1/MI1 for the german unit (DBT), received this morning
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] apollostees:
Don't get the naming convention. Why would DDCMI2 be higher than XXCMH2.

Anywho, it's be cool if one of you guys could post a flashable zip:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pakure:
Because I comes after H:p
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pakure:

Do you mean these have been fixed?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
Yes. :)

though too early to comment on battery (need atleast a week or so)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GSLEON3:
From what I have gleamed, the first three have to do with device & region. The US & NA WiFi 5110 release are always "XXx". The following are versions, MH2, MI1, MI2, etc...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] tejkkarani:
Yes I have found out today on sammobile:D have downloaded it going to flash tomorrow :cool::D
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] CASz:
Woke up to that update as well and I'm in Canada. Since unrooting Wednesday to get 4.2.2 I've received 4 updates.:eek:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cfendrick:
Any word on a flashable zip for this update? I wonder what else was updated.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] rosrog:
Any improvements on multiwindow?
[LG Optimus Black] TheAngel87:
Hi guys, I noticed one thing, I hope you can be of help.

I tried several ROMs, Zeus 6/7IZS, CM10/10.1 and now I installed the Mackay, I noticed that as the Zeus 7 recognized that our cpu Cortex-A8 (as confirmed by wikipedia) instead of the other rom, the same type mackay recognize an A7.

I do not know if he can be of help in improving the code and performance, but it was right to tell you. :fingers-crossed:

Sorry for my bad english :)

Flash kernel is for people who are maybe coming from a kernel different from latest 254.

Status bar and navigation bar are same as stock with rounded corners (like Honami) when transparent ;)

Silly question: How can I make bigger photos on Superior auto? are they only 3 megapixels or what?

Manual mode get up to 8 :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] sephirothmk:
Today while I was talking on the phone using the included headphones, the call switched to the cellphone (which was in my pocket) with speaker enabled. I had to take out the phone, disconnect the headphones cable and press the speaker button so I can continue talking on the phone.

Also once in a while my music skips and the phone doesn't charge offline, but i suspect it's not the rom's fault, but its the way of rooting.

The camera app sometimes forgets it's settings and i have to set it up all over again manually. I'm not using superior auto because it makes pictures yellow (but this one is not a rom issue).

Be careful when installing CWM. When I started installing it, I forgot to grant superuser permission and it didn't flash fully. Had a bootloop. Fixed it by putting the phone on the usb cable and flashing CWM right after i write my sim pin.
[Xperia SP Android Development] adulfo:
Thanks for the good work dev...

But I would love to see a DARK version of this ROM.. Anyone would agree?
[Xperia SP Android Development] kuriboo:
Just for correction, X-Reality not work but BE2 has worked!

How to turn off the camera shutter sound..?? i turned off it. But still its coming...! :confused::confused:

[Xperia SP Android Development] Androidkeeda:

Good Work Niaboc79!! Thanks.

- In Xperia Xposed/Xperia Home/Dock/Number of Shortcuts don't work for me.

- I could not find USB DEBUG mode in this firmware.

- The same problem with the application of the camera.

- Problems with wifi on the first restart, taking the router close, I was saying out of range, a reboot and all ok.

- You could remove the Japanese and Chinese keyboard, and leave it as a separate add.

Saludos.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tutadse:
Hey niaboc, thank you thank you thank you for your work! Awesome rom, fast and smooth!

As I flashed it first with TWRP, I've got the same problem. My recovery was from ot, but not the last version! I updated it and it works fine with TWRP! Maybe this is the reason!
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
Always when installing a new rom, a few days a needed ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
First time you tried with TWRP integrated in eXistenZ 2.1.5?

Or with a fresh install but with old recovery?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tutadse:
Integrated in Existenz 2.1.5!
[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Thanks!

Do you plan adding other Xperia Z2 stuff like smart call handling, answering machine and others? It would be really good if we had a nearly KitKat experience in case Sony stops supporting our phone.

BTW, why is Z2 lockscreen impossible to port?

Too many differences in code between 4.3 and 4.4 or what?

I'm asking because on 2011 Xperias I've seen so many incredible ports, like Xperia S Lockscreen, Small Apps from JB on stock ICS, and even Xperia Z1 Walkman.
