[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahildeswal:
Yea noticed one really small one right on the center of the lens...but its expected since I did not have a cover for about a week and kept on its back on the table...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahildeswal:
Yep I agree with you. Thats why I got a slip in cover where it stays protected when not in use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyshemi:
I like that . Does it affect your photos having a scratch back there?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahildeswal:
To this point no. Havent really noticed anything wrong with the photos...with the right camera settings they come out sharp n beautiful.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ariel:
I already have 2 micro scratches on the lens cover.

Samsung have been completely dumb about this on the Note 3 and the Note 1.

The stock back cover on both devices offers no protection to the plastic camera cover. This is actually a design defect by Samsung, since with minimal forethought, they could have slightly raised the back cover above the lens cover surface.

At some point, I may take this to a Samsung service centre (I did it with my Note 1) to ask for it to be relaced FOC.

I'm not paying for a ludicrously, overpriced, gimicky S Cover and waiting instead for delivery of a SPIGEN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Case:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyshemi:
Yea I have both and to be honest they don't let the phone sink in enough to protect the lens much. It's frustrating I spent 750 on this phone cash out of contract and there's already a couple scuffs and I baby my I phones. But I guess oh well but I will email samsung and at least let them document it
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nex7er:
No reason to worry. I've had scratches on my cameralenses and phones before, yet it hasn't been noticable. Hell, even a crack has gone by unnoticed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolioFantastic:
I have always wondered why they made the camera bulge out like that and offer no protection. I set it down very gently because I am so afraid of scratching the camera lens. I am still waiting on a decent case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KruseLudsMobile:
I just got the wireless charging back cover. It is slightly thicker so now the lens is only ever so slightly indented. Now it won't touch a table when you place your phone down on one... I like this!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The camera sensor is in no way sensitive enough for you to see those scratches on the photo's.

That said I use the Golla Swoosie wallet, and when I need my phone to be easily accessible or it's playing music, I use it as a soft bedding to put my phone on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Because they wanted to make the phone thinner. The problem is that you just cannot make a camera lens (and focal distance) thinner easily, so you have to keep that at the same thickness.

So far I have no scratches on it, and I go naked, but the phone resides in its own pocket on my shorts. If you place it on a table, as long as the table really is flat and smooth, the cover will be slightly off the table because of the angle the phone rests at. If there is any debris on the table (or in your pocket), it can get scratched.

I also do not think these scratches will ever affect the photo quality, although that does not seem logical. I wear glasses, and mine are now old and have many scratches. I actually never notice them unless I deliberately try to focus on them.

Personally I would like to have an easily replaceable lens cover glass.

I thought about this, but I would hate to lose the beautiful thinness of the Note 3!

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

I keep mine on a screen cloth on my desk at work. At home it's either in my pocket or on my armchair arm, so it will not get scratched easily.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
I know what you mean. It's called the quick reply option. If the rom/SMS app got this feature you will probably see it in the settings/SMS settings.

If not, there's a ton of third party SMS apps which are able to do this :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
I was looking for a way to remove the VZW boot animation, thanks though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightyear25:
Easy guide for getting rid of the CUSTOM logo and symbol at boot.

First, you have to install Xposed Framework, this is just an APK that you download from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

Once you install the APK, simply head to the Google Play store and download the Wanam Module at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.xposed&hl=en

Once Wanam is installed, go into Xposed, and put a check on the module "Wanam" then go into Wanam and then go Security Hacks - Fake System Status.

Note: It took me rebooting a few times and toggling it on and off to get it to work, but was worth it, that logo was U G L Y.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsk23:
Not being able to make a backup still bothers me. But this Verizon logo and the unlock boot screen are starting to annoy me. Has anyone who has modified either of these had any issues or complications yet? That may reassure me a bit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legato Bluesummers:
No issues that I've seen. Did it 6 am this morning. Haven't had a problem all day. Done a few more reboots when I tweaked more stuff. Still running great.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmike6453:
Guys why don't you just apply the boot animation manually? Here is how:

1. Download your boot animation and extract it if it's 7zipped up, you will have 2 files in .qmg file format

2. Use a root browser on your phone to navigate to /system/media

3. Rename bootsamsung.qmg to .bak and also bootsamsungloop.qmg to .bak(so you can revert rather than just deleting them)

4. Ensure that your custom boot animation is named bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and copy them to /system/media

5. Reboot and it should work!

I did a full scan and kaspersky deleted that. Can someone pls explain what does that system app does?

It's not installed on cleanrom so it's either bloat or an actual virus you downloaded.

Is there a .apk in your apps folder or only the odex?

That could just be a false positive as well.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tex_Norseman:
I never have understood why someone needs antivirus on an android phone. Can you explain that to me?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter21026:
Because people accept any set of permissions from the playstore before reading what permissions an app will ask for. After people decide these permissions aren't important they go on and install away all the adware and spam to their devices, unknowingly on their own accord. They simply don't read. Which is exactly why they have an anti-virus. They don't read, otherwise they would know it's as unnecessary as a task killer, and having that task killer kill all their apps every 5 minutes so they can have all their ram back. Because 200mb of available ram slows an android device right?(<--insert sarcasm here) Hope that clears it up a bit.:)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tex_Norseman:
I just never install anything before doing my research and making sure it is a reliable source. Never had to worry about viruses on my phones. Computers, yes, phones....not so much.

I just got a new AT&T Galaxy S4 from Amazon for my fiance. It shipped with the MF3 firmware. Randomly, she calls out or receives a call and there is no audio in or out. After hanging up, and redialing or re-receiving a second call, everything is fine. It doesn't matter if she was moving or in the same location. I can't seem to reproduce it consistently but it is frequent enough to mention. Is this common with MF3? Not sure if it's software of hardware related.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.BUBU:
Hi!!

First, I was trying to find some solution, here and google, but every one that could work, don´t.

I was trying to install CyanogenMod 10.1

I followed the installation guide... but when I have to choose CM zip file, I choosed another one from other sell (I was using the same card)

The CM that I use was this: cm-7.2.0-jordan.zip (from a defy phone)

instead cm-10.1-20130621-NIGHTLY-janice.zip

Everything goes bad since that.

I tried to wipe data/factory reset:

E: format_volume: fs_type "ext3" unsupported

E: Can´t mount /cache/reovery/log

E: Unknow fs_type "ext3" for /cache

I tried to update from external storage

But only shows me this: " ../ "

I tried to apply update from ADB

I followed the guide, copy the roms on self directory, put the 4 files on c:\windows , etc.

This are the common errors that shows me:

C:\Windows\Herramientas Sideload>adb sideload gapps-jb-2013

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *

I tried kill the adb.exe like this, but doesn´t works

error: closed adb

I tried this but doesn´t works

I found nothing that could help more, so that´s way I making this post.

Here is some data:

GT-i9070

Windows 7 64bits

Kies updated (but could connect to the device now)

I think that drivers of the cell are updated, because windows shows me that... buy i don´t know if is the correct one.

I will be very grateful if you can help. I hope this can be fixed ..

Best regards!!

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
Reflash stock jelly bean with Odin, then flash CoCore kernel for CWM recovery, and retry to flash CM10.1. To do that:

1-Because your pc doesn't recognize the device uninstall Kies and install

only

usb drivers (you can download install package here)

2-Download Odin and i9070 Stock Jelly Bean firmware from samfirmware (I recommend i9070XXLQG PDA)

3-Extract downloaded zip, you will find three files (one .dll, one .pit and one .tar.md5)

4-Launch Odin, select "Re-Partition" and leave others as they are. Press "PIT" button and select .pit file in extracted firmware's zip file, then press "PDA" and select .tar.md5 file in same directory.

5-Enter in download mode like I said you early and connect device to pc, press "Start" button on Odin and wait for the "SUCCESS" message, now your phone should power on normally.

6-Now download this zip file (for obtain root access) and put in sd card (micro sd, not internal memory!)

7-Turn off your phone, press vol up+home+power to enter recovery, select "apply update from external storage" then select root.zip, reboot device.

8-Now you have stock jelly bean rooted, update SuperSU from Google Play and install Universal Kernel Flash from frapeti (you can find it on Play Store).

9-Download CoCore Kernel here, take kernel.bin.md5 file from zip package and put it in internal storage.

10-Launch Universal Kernel Flash, select kernel.bin.md5 and flash it.

11-Power off phone and enter again in recovery with vol up+home+power, now you should have CWM-based recovery, select "backup and restore" and take a full system backup.

12-Wipe data, cache and dalvik and retry to install CM10.1-janice, in case something goes wrong or you want to remove CM without flash again with Odin you can restore your system backup from CWM.

If you have a doubt I'm here to help you :)

The thing that you call "bios" in a mobile phone is called "Bootloader", it could be damaged if you flash a wrong firmware with Odin, for example i9070P's on i9070 and vice versa, or if you do "dd" command on terminal or adb shell with wrong "mmcblk" (in this device the bootloader partition is called "PARAM" and his code is mmcblk0p1, I don't know what is the partition number on other Samsung devices because i9070 is my first Android phone, but I think that is the same)
