My comment was to anyone, past present or future who will come into the thread to cry and moan or get all defensive. I'm not aiming that specifically at you but rather as a more general "prediction" of what will happen here.

In regards to your comment, I disagree. Many many people just do not care about the "extra" stuff Android can do. They just want a fast consistent phone that works and is easy to hold and easy to use with a great and simple camera. Many people are happy with iphone and they are aware of Android and what it offers. App development tends to be slightly better on iOS too.

You can't really objectively say either phone is better.

Now, we can agree Apple are not innovating enough. Maybe we'll see something different with the iPhone 6, and I do like the fingerprint thingy. Personally I wouldn't get an iPhone because it doesn't suit my needs, but I could definately see why someone would prefer it over a Samsung phone.

Interesting vid

Yeah I never said Apple weren't twats.

Most companies probably are.

The Chinese government certainly is.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Nebell:
I guess it's a matter of taste.

I have iPhone 5 as work phone and Note 3 as my personal phone.

I absolutely hate the iPhone and everything about it. The size, the looks, the design, the software (don't let me start on that), the ecosystem. Everything.

Every time I see someone trying to sms on their iPhone I look them and think "how can you even type on it".

But I understand those who use it as a phone or a music player. But that's about it. It's bad for everything else.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] howie411:
I have an Iphone 5 (work) Galaxy Note 3 (work) HTC (personal). For gaming and music I prefer the Iphone, but for everything else, I'd take either of the Android phones (mostly the HTC One) except when it comes to photos, then the Note 3 is the clear winner.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ultwill:
you can do so many things on an android you can't on an iPhone. I guess if you're willing to forgo the effort of android and immediately just kinda say "I want things super simple", then I can understand why you might want an iPhone. Once nearly any android phone is rooted, and even in many circumstances, before its rooted, it's functionality destroys iPhone on the spot, really even backward through generations. You don't even really have to look past any homescreen to understand why. the concept of widgets is like an immediate defeating factor. I have PSP, psx, 100 GB storage, air gestures, and endless customization. That's before me talking about flashing custom roms! Any cases you may need are just waiting for you on eBay...

just my $.02 though! to each their own.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fade2black101:
I was genuinely surprised at how easy it was to type on the iPhone 4. There's something about the way the keyboard is designed that makes it so you can type super fast. Given the tiny screen size I was massively shocked by this.

Still prefer typing on my Note II though.

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Yeah this is why I've had Android devices and Windows Mobile before that.

Make no mistake though, we are in the vast vast vast minority. Most people have no clue what rooting is and they have no interest in trying to sort out any issues. They just want the simple functions to be consistent and stay that way. I know people with the GS4 and HTC One S who don't even know what widgets are and that they can set them. They literally just have icons on the homescreen like on iPhone..

good video , although its more about human rights and what not than phones.

still a good point that part about workers protesting about new, impossibly strict standards, demanding precision down to increments as small as two-hundredths of a millimeter, samsung could learn a thing our 2 with apple.

the rest of the discution in this thread is just fanboyism .. ignoring the elephant in the room. Samsung assembly quality and materials are crap.

Just wanted to say , I am a samsung guy, had original note, typing right now on a mega 6.3 and going to buy a note3, reason for I am Here

never had and never will own a iphone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] docprego:
Finally someone that gets it. All I wanted to do was give my personal impressions of the Note 3 having been an iPhone user for so long. As I said it's a great device and I am sticking with it. BUT I am pointing out the areas where I FEEL it falls short of the experience I am used to on the iPhone. I (incorrectly) thought it might be useful to someone who is contemplating the same switch that I made.

SERIOUSLY some of you guys have gone off the deep end. Were just talking about the relative merits of 2 electronic devices. Some of you actually think this is worth getting so emotional over?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Blackwolf10:
good point though you should at least done that with a full battery :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] heavylift:
For long time I hated apple fanboyism , now I know I just hated fanboyism , seriously guys.. the OP death was asked in this thread ..

dude ..I get your point .. I am not seeing my self ever using an iphone, but I understand your points.. people take this sh!t way to serious.. these are only short live devices .. not like a watch or car.. take easy people , lets talk and understand one another , without measuring dicks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] docprego:
Fair enough. I'll dig deeper into some of the pros I have experienced using the Note 3:

1. Google Now is in a different class than Siri. While Siri might get my voice dictation right on occasion, Google Now gets it right just about very time.

2. Widgets. I personally like them and obviously they are completely absent on the iPhone. (I don't consider the stock and weather applets on the iPhone in the pull down notification area to be widgets.)

3. Automatic sleep/wake support with specific cases. While Apple fully supports this on their tablets, it's strangely absent on their phones.

4. Integrated wireless charging, again totally absent on the iPhone.

5. Choice of keyboards. Swiftkey for me.

6. Camera application. So many more options and features on the Note 3.

7. USB 3.0.

8. Battery life is on the average for me about an hour more of screen on usage than the iPhone 5. Considering the size of the display that's impressive.

9. The multi window feature is very useful. Combined with the larger screen it's a real usable improvement.

10. The S-pen and the myriad of useful functions it brings.

There are many more, these are just 10 off the top of my head.

Let's bring this thread back to an intelligent state of discussion, that's all it was ever intended to be.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ForeverTroll:
The main issue with an IPhone is the ridiculous small screen. That's maybe the reason why you tried the switch. I bet you won't be anymore 100% in love with your iPhone because of this if you put the Note in the trashcan :D

There is no way this thread will stop from bash talking.

It's like going to an iPhone forum and saying

" yeah I have been using Android for along time and this is my first iPhone. So far the iPhone is good but it's small display and lack of customizations aren't doing well with me."

Anytime there is thread saying that any iDevice is better than that forums device, will end up this way.

I think comparing apple to android isn't worth it and isn't really comparable.

They have their pros and cons which is up to the user to decide!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alom5:
You can't compare the note 3 to any of the phones out there at the moment. It is superior to all that is out there at present. I do understand the op feelings about the ios smoothness compared to Android and those comments would've been valid previously but with the new phones and hardware in them it just doesn''t stand anymore. My note 3 is more fluid then the iPhone 5s my brother has. Ios 7.x had features that I was running on my note 1 last year... Apple are falling way way back in development and style.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fade2black101:
The Note III isn't superior for someone who wants a one handed phone and couldn't care less about the spen and other features.

This is the point I was making ealier that you can't objectively say either phone is better. Similarily, you'll find many people who will claim the HTC One is superior to the Note III.

And no, your Note is not more fluid than ios 7 on the 5s. Why claim it is? You'll prob find othwrs claiming it isn't even smoother than tbe Nexus 4 or HTC One, which are both less fluid than the 5s..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alom5:
It's personal opinion and that's why I said it. You try both and make your own judgment.

By da way. ..I use my phone with one hand as well. ..I couldn't with note 1 but can with this one. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fade2black101:
It's a two handed device though. The Note II and III improved in this aspect as the width is more hand friendly, but it is definitely primarily a two handed device and would be awkward and possibly dangerous in terms of drops with frequent one handed use. Of course it is possible to do some stuff one handed which I do occassionaly, but it is no way possible or realistic to be used one handed properly.

If it was personal opinion then fair enough. It just seemed more like a general statement. Truth be told the majority of people I've shown the note II to tend to recoil in horror at the size, and they're unwilling to go over a 4.7 inch screen or even less. I'm glad the Note series has performed well though and gives us a choice of a bigger, feature packed phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Virusbetax:
The Note 3 is not technically made for every days business use. I admit that it has a hard time in my pocket. But you must realize the iPhone is a software device. Which means developers basically have 3 apple devices that they should make apps for and same goes for apple making the firmware. The software is optimized for the low quality hardware within the phone thus making the experience smoother. while android is not always optimized and is made for over thousands of different devices around the world from hundreds of different manufactures.The Note is great for casual use as well as other multimedia uses. The iPhone is in a different category then the Note 3 it is unreasonable to compare the two. By the way there screen size was the universal standard 4 years ago :p.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alom5:
I agree most people think its big but it's the perfect size for me. Before I got this I had a look at most of the new phones out now and every phone is a lot bigger then they used to be. ..I was tempted by the Z1 for the underwater photography. .. But in the end it was a gimmick I could live without and went for my trusty note. Even the iphones have started to get longer and I meant the operation of the 2 phones are same fluidity not the difference and edge the ios used to have over Android phones before
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fade2black101:
I agree the gap has been bridged significantly since ICS, and I'd take Android over iOS regardless of the fluidity which I still think iOS has the edge. Doesn't bother me though.

In regards to size, any bigger than Note II or III and I'm out. Can just about live with this current size for comfortable everyday usage and going out with friends at night.

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

Yep I agree with that, but most people couldn't care less about the specifics of why it appears smoother. The average consumer has no interest in specs or how the software is developed or optimised on a closed platform.

It would be nice if all apps could be optimised fully for Android, because really we should expect everything to be buttery smooth on the hardware of these phones, but even apps like Tapatalk stutter every now and then.

I can live with the drawbacks though and still prefer it over iOS.

DISCLAIMER​

Driver signature enforcement isn’t a feature Microsoft added to Windows just to annoy us. It’s a security feature that makes it much more difficult for average users to install malicious hardware drivers on their systems. If a driver isn’t properly signed — or it was signed with a signature that’s been revoked because it was used for malicious purposes — Windows 8 won’t allow users to install it.

Disabling the driver signature check may still be necessary for installing legitimate hardware drivers that aren’t signed — possibly because they’re too old — and installing drivers that you’re developing on your own. But you should only do this if you know what you’re doing.​

Digital Signature Error:

Fixing Tutorial:​

Reboot Into Advanced Startup Options

First, open the Settings charm. You can do this by moving your mouse to the bottom-right corner of your screen and clicking Settings.

Select the Change PC settings option at the bottom of the Settings charm.

In the PC settings app, select the General category.

Scroll down and click the Restart now button under Advanced startup. Your computer will reboot.

​

Access Startup Settings

When the Choose an option screen appears, click or tap the Troubleshoot tile.

Next, click or tap the Advanced options tile.

Select the Startup Settings tile on the Advanced options screen.

Click the Restart button on the Startup Settings screen to reboot your computer again.
​

Disable Driver Signature Enforcement

On the Startup Settings screen, tap the F7 or 7 key on your keyboard to select the “Disable driver signature enforcement” option.

You can now install unsigned drivers as you would on previous versions of Windows. Windows will alert you if you try to install a driver that isn’t properly signed, but you’ll see an “install this driver software anyway” option you can choose.​

Hi All,i have problem with my phone...

Flashed carbon ROM,the official one, all went OK with the installation, but when I try to charge the battery look like don't charge,no circle animations of the battery icon,I think it's a problem with the car charger, but I tried with all charger in my house,with the original one with the nexus 7 and the one of my old galaxy s,but only appear the white led....

It happened few times so I leaved it charge all the night and try to turn on and it did but after the recovery check red led and turn off...

So try again and the second time I went into recovery and wipe system cachae dalvik and battery stats and flash cm 10.1 rc3 but again the same problem.

In the recovery (bbm) the battery stay a 99% for few minutes then go to 4% and after I flash go to 0% and after two minutes shot down

My question is,I have a micro USB problem a battery one or software one? Don't really know what do this time

Factory cable?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nijom:
Did you see any wierd battery behaviour before the flash?? Or this happens only after flashing?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nijom:
Try doing the same by keeping the phone plugged in..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
Try using a factory cable and RSDLite it to stock ROM.

Then plug it in and see if the battery is charged.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vallerino WR:
I did it:D:D:D:D

I take a factory cable from the UK 8€ (It's the same of the Kindle Fire)

I put out the battery,Went in fastboot and flash stock 4.1.2

Reboot with the battery in and now the charge is good

Don't know why it won't charge last time.:confused:..

I was on the 4.2.2. Carbon (no clean install ) and i belive the problem was from the software part

Thanks to everyone how tried to help me

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] baniaczek:
I've found, that WM5 supports compressed CABs.

Use CabWiz to make compressed CAB.

Edit file

cabwiz.ddf

(in the same directory, where cabwiz.exe exists)

modify line ".Set Compress=OFF" to ".Set Compress=ON"

Warning1:

Don't delete original [uncompressed] CABs. Maybe - you will need them in the future.

Warning2:

Compressed CABs are not compatible with WM2003

Warning3:

Don't edit nor don't save them with WinCE CAB Manager from ocpSoftware [up to version 1.1.0.4]. Everything looks OK, but [after save] all files within the CAB are corrupted.

Probably the reason is, that compression aplies only to files, not CAB as a whole. File structure is the same and CAB Manager properly reads all info, but is not able to decompress files.

-----------

If you have only cab and need to compress it:

Open CAB with WinCE CAB Manager

Select from menu: File / Export / ExportToINF

start command line

switch to the directory with INF file

execute "[path]cabwiz xxx.INF /err cabwiz.err /cpu arm" (replace [path]cabwiz with full path do cabwiz.exe, replace xxx.INF with INF file name)

-----------

I you have EXE installer only:

start PC installation

cancel Pocket PC installation

look at subdirectories of C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync - probably you will find (uncompressed) CABs here.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] nlewis:
FWIW, the next version of WinCE CAB Manager will include support for compressed CAB files as well. In fact, this is already available in the WinCE CAB Manager 1.2 BETA. See also:

I really really like the 5.5 music player. It's not as unpolished as the 5.0 one seems and it actually takes you back to where you left off before you chose the song/artist (I hate that so much...). Is there a way to get it in 5.0?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 18th.abn:
Try pulling the apk from 5.5 and copy/paste it into /system/app and reboot. If it works, pull the music enhancer apk and do the same. It may work, if not just go back in and put the 5.0 player apk back again.

It won't work at all on a 4.1.2 Rom. I think the only possibility would be on a 4.3 Rom.

I too I sideloaded 7.x and eventually had to revert back to 6.14.4 (latest version for the 4x from Google Play) as the 7.x was too unstable and kept crashing.

Pretty poor if you ask me, considering that an ancient HTC Incredible S is able to run 7.x very well....

If anyone has a clue of how to run 7.x on a stock 4.1.2 Android install I'm all ears..

Hi,

I currently use a ROM based on Google Edition 4.3 and it is fast and stable. I hear that the new stock 4.3 is also much faster.

My question, has anyone used both? How do the speeds match up? I would expect GE 4.3 to be faster due to its smaller foot print, is this correct?

Your advice and comments are appreciated.
