[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GinoAMelone:
I've got the black w/ white trim version on my GN3. These cases are noticeably thicker than the stock case, between 0.5 and 1.0 mm thicker, I'd say. The protrusion from the camera is reduced, but it still sticks out. I'd eyeball the camera bump at 1/3mm with the aluminum case.

As someone has mentioned, these are plastic backs with a very thin metal layer.

I'm undecided if I'm seeing signal difference or not. If I am, it's less than 1-bar on average.

Note that these backs are much slicker than stock. Almost slippery in the hand. They are extremely smooth, other than a slight horizontal brushed effect.

Overall, I'm happy with the new back, but I'm probably going to revert to stock. I ordered the replacement before I had my phone in-hand and I find I like the stock back a lot more than I was expecting to.

Salamat.....wish I could find some of these for my SM-N900W8. .not entirely sure if there is any diff in fitment anyway?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Crazypinoy:
Not sure if we're buying the same ones but my camera doesn't stick out at all.

It's very close but definitely tucked in enough to protect the camera lens.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Crazypinoy:
As far as I know the fitment should be the same so this should work on your N900W
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] samjpullen:
Awesome Thank you :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] grabshell:
Is the thickness still the same with the original back cover? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] misticjeff:
No, it is thicker. You basically have a plastic back cover which is then covered with metal. Adds a bit of weight as well.

So my wife came home yesterday yelling at me for ignoring her. Come to find out my phone was not receiving incoming calls. I could not figure out what the problem was. After trying a few different rooms and still not working I narrowed it down to Google voice. After un linking my number I was able to receive calls again. Anyway this? It just started happening a few days ago. I think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
I'm having this issue too. It has something to do with the Sprint-integration of Google Voice. You can undo the Sprint-integration and still use Voice. You just won't be able to send and receive text messages from Voice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thmgombosi:
The thing is I have always used Google voice with Sprint and never had a isuue until recently.

Anyone else experiencing video stutter while trying to stream inside a browser? I've tried chrome, chrome beta, Firefox, and built in browser. Its especially worst for HD video.

It'll also happen in YouTube app on 1080p videos although to a less noticeable degree.

Netflix and play movies seem to perform normal.

Thinking there needs to be some software optimization done in a future patch to address this.

Can anyone else replicate this issue inside a browser ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
Had this issue after rooting my device. I went into both my installed browsers and cleared all cookies, cache and history. Once completed, I did a reset on my device and voila, it's all working fine now. Sometimes I notice a bit of lag but this is when I'm connected via WiFi and I have about 10 other devices connected hence some lag.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazaro17:
Are you on stock ROM by any chance?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
No, I bought the phone from a local carrier in Canada called WIND Mobile. They do not support LTE data but a slower 4G speed. I had to ROOT and install a custom Telus ROM then change the regional carrier settings to recognize the Telus ROM. I have not had any issue though and whether a stock ROM or not, I think it's more to do with the application (browser) and how it renders the video playback.

Hope this helps!

So how do you change themes for the whole system on hyperdrive ROM? The hyperdrive thread is way too big to look through, so I thought I would get a faster answer here. I know there is the hyper Tweaks and Hyper Hub, and how to download the themes there and all other stuff... but I was wondering if you had to flash it with recovery... or what... so I just need to know the process... thanks guys.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwwdotcom:
I posted a while ago about my N7000 dying randomly one day and getting stuck in an infinite reboot cycle and while I was flashing it to fix it, a friend threw a small foam ball at me which hit the USB cable and unplugged my phone. After that it doesn't even try to turn on.

I tried calling Customer service after it broke in hope of getting it fixed through Samsung USA, but they basically told me to go F myself since it was an international phone and wasn't 'theirs'. Cool Samsung, Cool.

Is there anything I should try first before deciding to buy something to try and fix it? If it is a cheap fix (<$50) then I would try to fix it.

Do you think it is the motherboard that is broken? Since it was disconnected while flashing, or would more than just the motherboard be broken?

I've been charging the battery and am going to check to see if there is any charge with a multimeter later this week to make sure that it isn't the battery giving me trouble, but I figure that it is not since the battery had been working fine when I was attempting to fix it.

Here's the orignial thread when I was first trying to fix it:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyj352:
Hi everyone - I have a weird problem that I really need some help on!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S III on the Verizon network. I've had the phone since it first came out and love it, but the problem I have is that when I connect to my network at home, YouTube and Google+ won't update.

Google+ tries to refresh and give the error:

"Can't load data. Check your connection."

When YouTube opens, I get the error:

There was a problem connecting to the network"

If I go into the sync settings for Google, most everything is syncing just fine, but Google+ and People details have problems. Google+ just shows the 2 arrows in the circle next to it and People details shows the same, but with an exclamation point. And then I have a message at the bottom that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."

This problem for YouTube and Google+ happens MOST of the time, but sometimes it will work OK. And if I have problems and turn off the WiFi and change to 4G, everything will update just fine. I also don't have the problem on other wireless networks.

So most of you are probably already thinking, "well this is a problem with your wireless network." That's what I would think.... however, my wife has the same phone and hers works fine on our wireless network. The only difference is that my phone is rooted and hers is not. I am only rooted though; I am still running the stock ROM on the same version and NOT a custom ROM.

I have changed out my wireless router from a NETGEAR N600 to a NETGEAR N150 (yes, a downgrade) and that did not make a difference. There is nothing special configured on the router. I have Time Warner providing my Internet access.

I have done a factory reset on my phone (wiped data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache from ClockworkMod)... still nothing. Be aware that I do run a lot of apps though (around 165 of them).

Here's my problem - I don't use a ton of data, so going to 4G should just be a minor annoyance. However, I now have 2 Chromecasts in the house (awesome!) and I need to be on the wireless to cast a YouTube video over to it... 4G won't cut it.

Hopefully I provided enough info. I've attached a few screenshots as well. Usually I'm pretty good at figuring these kind of things out, but I'm at my wits end on this one and I know there's some really smart people on XDA so I'm hoping you guys might be able to provide some help.

Thanks!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyj352:
Just to add to this (and to hopefully give this a little bump), I forgot that the same problem also exists with Google Voice... when I'm at home, I usually can't listen to my voicemails through the widget unless I get off the wireless and go to 4G.

Any thoughts anyone?

-- Jim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoworld_200:
Do other internet activities work fine on ur phone? Such as web surfing, watching youtube vids etc?

And another thing is that rooting and unlocking tends to break some software related stuffs in stock roms, and the sync issue might be related as well. I suggest that u try a custom rom and see if the problem persists. Hope that helps :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyj352:
Thanks, geoworld_200 - yes, all other Internet functions work just fine. In fact, I can go to the YouTube in Chrome on the phone and it works just fine, just not the app. Thanks for the thought - I'm actually a really big fan of CyanogenMod, but I'm not ready to go to it yet on this phone as the stock camera app is extremely good and I use it a lot. Any other thoughts?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Why are you rooted? Are you using an ad-blocker? If yes, disable it, reboot, and try again. I've seen some of Google servers end up on adblocking lists.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyj352:
Polobunny, that's something I didn't think of, but no I don't use an ad-blocker. I'm rooted for the backup abilities in Titanium Backup, the awesomeness of Greenify, and the ability to do small things (like rename sound files for the phone starting up or the camera shutter sounds). I like that idea though - I will try using Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to temporarily disable root when I get home. From another perspective though, that would be weird if it fixes the problem since it's only when I'm at my house... other WiFi connections work just fine. I will let you know what I find out.

-- Jim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I wasn't suggesting unrooting, merely disabling your ad-blocker, if you used one. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyj352:
Well, it made me think... why not? That's one of the only differences between my phone and my wife's (the other is that I have a ton of apps on mine). I've only used Voodoo OTA RootKeeper one time, but it looks like it will do a temporary unroot, so I'll give it a shot.

As far as the ad-blockers, while I don't have one specifically installed, is it possible that one of my other apps might be causing a similar problem?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I'm thinking this might be a DNS issue. You've done a lot of work already on your phone and changed your router, but I don't think you mentioned reseting your modem. That would be my next step, whether or not m.youtube.com works on your device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyj352:
That got me thinking a little bit as well... I returned the cable modem I had to Time Warner in January (2013) and replaced it with a Motorola SURFboard SB6141 that I bought. I just logged in and checked the stats on it and everything looks in the normal range. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty confident that I've been having the problem since before the modem was swapped out.

When you say "reset the modem," are you talking about rebooting it or are you talking about resetting the configuration on it? I'm fine with either, just asking. The number show that it's been up for 31 days. The thing that keeps prodding me though is that their are no problems from at home on my wife's phone.

DNS is an interesting thought that might make the most sense... but more so a problem with it on my phone than anywhere else. Right now, my NETGEAR wireless router is dishing out the DHCP info and gives out Time Warner's DNS server addresses. I had Google's in there for a while, but changed them at one point thinking this might be related.

Is it possible that I have a bad HOSTS file entry or something when I connect to the WiFi at home? Does anyone know if the YouTube, Google+, and Google apps connect to different names or IP addresses than the mobile sites? If so, maybe I can try pinging those names or IPs that the apps go to for testing (assuming the mobile sites work fine).

Thanks!

-- Jim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Simply reboot it, not reset the configuration my bad.

You can use Google DNS servers on your router. This would absolutely rule out that your TimeWarner DNS servers are messing up with your stuff.

I wouldn't think it would be HOSTS file issue, unless you changed something to it yourself. Even more so if it works on mobile data.

As for YT, G+ and Gapps, they use a mesh of different servers so it's a bit hard to direct you more clearly. They all use the range 184.150.x.x as far as I'm aware though.

So all in all, try rebooting your modem. Might as well unplug the router when you do so. If it works after, then yay. If not, try using Google DNS.

Hi geoworld - yes, the bootloader is unlocked.

As a side note, I got home today and of course wasn't having the problem. Regardless, I rebooted the modem (and router) as polobunny suggested. I also changed the DNS servers to be Google's DNS instead of the ISP's. Now I'm just waiting for the problem to happen again.

I don't know yet - like I mentioned in the original post, it's an intermittent issue that happens MOST of the time, but sometimes it does work. Unfortunately, it worked fine when I got home yesterday before I even made any changes so it's hard to tell if any difference was made. If it's not going to work again, I will know pretty quickly (next day or two) since that's how often it was happening. I'll keep the thread open for a few more days and update the post as I'm testing every day.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyj352:
So things were going OK, but now I had something a little unusual... the problem happened again with Google+: "Can't load data. Check your connection"

I then went to the YouTube app and it took a loooooong time but eventually loaded. I then went back to Google+ and it loaded OK.

I'm confused.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaterickB:
I just wanted to chime in and say that I have the exact same problem with my Sprint Galaxy S3. Some things that I have noticed:

Only way for me to get it working again is to reboot phone, haven't found anything else that works.

After a reboot no more connection issues for a while but then it returns.

No problems with Wi-Fi at work. Do have problems at home and at my Mom's house. I have cable through Suddenlink, she has DSL through AT&T. Work uses Suddenlink for Internet.

I have tried clearing caches of various Google apps trying to fix it. Usually ends up with me not able to sign in until I disable Wi-Fi or reboot.

Tried using Googles DNS servers instead of Suddenlinks, made no difference

Rebooted router, cable modem, made no difference.

I tried un-installing the Google+ updates and then updating from the play store. Made no difference

At times it gets really bad and I can't even access the play store. Most of the time its Google+, hangouts, and youtube.

Wifes S3 does the same thing, so its something about the S3. My brother has an S4 and does not have the problem. At one time I was rooted running cyanogenmod and had no issues so it seems to be S3 specific. I have since restored back to stock unrooted.

My biggest worry is that when hangouts get SMS capability, I will not be able to use it because of these connection issues. I hope that the 4.3 update fixes it.

Forgot to mention but I have a Nexus 7 that has no issues at all, so I think I can rule out anything with the network.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyj352:
PaterickB, I am so happy to hear that I'm not the only one since I'm losing my mind on this!

I have a couple new things to add. I had the problem happen again with the apps this morning. I went back into Sync and unchecked the Google+ Sync that had the two arrows in the circle next to it and rechecked it... still gave the two arrows. This time I did test going to m.youtube.com in the browser (Chrome) on the phone and had no problems getting to it. I went back to the YouTube app and still had the problem. Then I went into Voodoo OTA RootKeeper and did a temporary unroot... tested the apps again and still the same problem. Restored root and then rebooted the phone and everything was now working. So like you were saying, PaterickB, the reboot fixed it for now.

So I don't know where to go with this, but I did just read an article this morning that said the S3 release dates for 4.3 were just leaked. If it's correct, Verizon should be getting the 4.3 update on 11/22. For your phone PaterickB, it lists 11/6. These dates are subject to change, but hopefully the update is around the corner and hopefully it fixes the issue. Not sure if I can post a link yet, but here it is:

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/25/samsung-android-4-3-update-dates-for-gs3-gs4-note-2-and-gs4-active-leaked/

PaterickB, are you saying that you still have this problem when you went back to stock unrooted?

-- Jim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaterickB:
Yes, I had the issue before rooting the phone. While I was rooted and running cyanogenmod there were no connection problems. Once I went back to the stock with no root, the connection issue came back. It's a strange problem because I can do nothing and as soon as I go to work and the phone connects to wifi, the connection issues are gone. If Sprint's speed were faster than dial-up here, I could turn off wifi but unfortunately that not possible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyj352:
Thanks for your added info on this. Sounds like the stock ROM is the problem with this. Guess we'll find out sometime next month (hopefully!) if the problem gets resolved.
