I'd go for the Sony Xperia ZL. It's inexpensive, unique, and has pretty decent specs.

Kinda redundant as there WILL be a N5 but I'll play along. :) I'd simply stay with the N4. It works...very well. N5 is new Nexus toy, thus, I must have it!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
Just to put this post in some context. I have been buying mobile phones since around 1988? I have owned most brands types with different OS the lot. I have never had a bug problem with ANY of my past mobiles including those from Samsung like the Nexus S, SGS11, SGS3, SG Note.

This is NOT a bash Samsung nor bash the Note3 post.

I purchased my Note 3 on the day of introduction to the market along with the Gear, 25 09 13. Since that time I have had to factory reset my Note FOUR times through ?Bugs?. First bug was the notification sound kept going off every few moments for 24 hours all night long. It nearly went through the window. Had to turn it off spend hours next day trying to find the cause, couldn't so I factory reinstalled the phone. All good for a week, then S-voice and this is the big bug, it keeps answering me even though its shut off!

All of a sudden it will speak to me and say it cant find what ever the conversation may be I am having at the time? Seems to have a complete mind of its own so much so my family have started to sit around the phone when we chat to allow the Note to partake? Its surreal. Factory reset twice and still the same.

I am also having other programmes open when I am not activating them. Several programmes also seem to have a mind of their own?:confused:

This is not me, thank God, I have yet to go completely gaga, my family are actually asking to set the phone down so we can see what its going to do next!:eek:

Would there be a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 exorcist available in the membership? Its gone from being annoying to a cause of much amusement for my family but its truly getting on my t1ts:(

Any suggestions, apart from burning it at the stake, would be welcomed. :cyclops:

Many thanks in advance.:good:

Kind regards

I havent experienced any of those problems. The only problem I have is the my magazine app keeps crashing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquirtingCherry:
I think you should return the device to a samsung service centre to swap phones, sound like you really have a bugged one, i bought mine within the same week and so far so good, no problems or hickups whatsoever. For me it's the 1st samsung device i am truly 100% happy with. (had the i9000/i9100/i9300/N7000/N7100 and now the N9005)

All of them had their own bad things, for example S1 had RFS filesystem lagsauce, S2 had EMMC brickbug like the Note1, S3 and note2 had the suddendeath bug and not to forget the AMOLED build quality on all phones.

Hope you get yours fixed/swapped for a good one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweFox:
I've had a couple problems with phone freezing, soft buttons not responding but I realized it was the app "Android Tuner" that caused it.

But without Android Tuner the phone works flawlessly like my other Samsung ones.

Sorry to hear about your problems though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
Runs fine here although I did disable some bloat including S Voice since I prefer Google's better.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
It sounds like you have S Voice set to always listen which includes when the device is off. The SGS2 used to have this feature but it chugged battery. I like and use this feature, for example to call someone when my phone's sitting on my desk without having to pick it up until the person I'm calling picks up. If they don't I can leave a message via speakerphone. All without ever having touched the phone. This feature's return is Samsung's answer to LG's Knock On.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
I have S-voice deactivated so it cannot function yet it does?

My family find this hilarious. I was in the rest room this evening sitting on the loo, to be blunt I began with wind and the bloody deactivated S-voice asked me to repeat what I had said as she didn't catch that and then asked if I wanted it to look for Pruuup on Google! I swore at the phones (sorry about the lack of self control) and S-voice told me to calm down! THIS IS ridiculous.:confused:

My grandson now wants to play with the darn thing and I find him having a conversation with this lady known as S-voice.

I shall well be in the dog house if I do manage to resolve this most annoying and very peculiar problem!:silly:

I repeat the S-voice is not even turned on. I actually found myself looking this evening in the loo for hidden cameras expecting to find myself on some TV, 'You have been had' sort of game. What began as odd turned to rather humorous, now I am talking to some lady on a mobile phone who is telling me to keep calm. Any one know the phone number of the FBI? I think I have been bugged?

Hey I could write a book and it could be made into a film. The phone that came to life and.....Oh dear......I might not like the ending :eek:

I have looked in the mirror and psychoanalysed myself and I appear as bonkers as 'normal', nothing new....What on earth can be doing this?

I dare not return it to the store as no one will believe me unless my family are at my side and they like the mobile as it is. The other point that worries me is should I take it back and the phone behaves itself I could find myself being carted away by two men in white coats for a psychiatric evaluation? Knowing my luck S-voice lady, she would keep stum until I was discharged then chuckle at me as I walked away from the fruit and nut ward!:silly:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
You mentioned you have a Gear. It uses the phone's S Voice app to function. When a Gear's connected I don't know if you can fully disable S Voice on the phone. I occasionally get "microphone in use by another application" errors on both the phone and Gear so mic control between the two isn't perfect yet. Maybe that's related to your issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
Yes I have the Gear. Oddly enough (to date) this S-voice situation only occurs when my Gear is turned OFF? If I use the gear the problem goes?

Thanks for mentioning that even though I still have no idea what to do about it.

I wonder if Stephen King would like to buy a mobile?:cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
There have been two updates to Gear Manager. The last one really improved the connection between the phone and the Gear. Make sure you update to it. Also, hard reset your Gear before connecting it to the updated Gear Manager. All your apps and settings on the Gear will be restored. Hopefully that'll cure your haunted setup.

Telus Note 3 user here

I can tell you that I have tested all apps thoroughly and I have had absolutely No issues from day one fresh out of the box.

Stays cool and battery goes long. I downloaded multiple apps too from the Play Store, No problems at all so far.

I am planning to root after a while.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1ng r4t:
Lol, now before you go writing books on how the Note 3 is a failure, it really does sound like your specific phone is messed up. You can keep trying to fix it but it'll probably still mess up in some way.

And I'm pretty sure they'd believe you if you brought it in and it acted fine. But they'll probably just factory reset it. They think that's the answer to everything. Not sure of your carrier, but with Verizon I just have to call in and they'll troubleshoot it, and if it still doesn't work they send a replacement. And since the phone is still new it should be a new phone and not just a refurb.

Best Device so Far

Hello all,

Am glad to be part of the Note3 N-9005 crew ;)

coming from my good ol' GT-I9100 S2, which hardly had anything working wrong. I hardly had any trouble with my S2, no brickbug, etc, always kept testing new ROMs.

Now the Note3 seems more like an upgrade, an upgrade in terms of stability, power, RAM, and android power. plus the S Pen of course.

Having used it for like 2 weeks now, I am a hard user - I have seen no issues whatsoever till now. The phone works and flies flawlessly across apps when multitasking, switching to and fro S Pen is seamless. even the fast charge takes least time to charge the device till full.

So all in all, I find this is a very stable, very fast and better than any iOS spawns.

Regards and enjoy this phone

Non taken. Please read my initial post and you will find the answer:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
I am as surprised ad baffled as you are. I wrote in my opening remarks that this is THE first phone, form any brand since 1988, I have ever owned that has had a problem including numerous Samsung's in the past three years. Guess its just my turn. EVERY device makes a lemon on times. This is to be expected.

If I keep the gear on the problem goes with regard the S-voice. I have yet again, for the fifth time, reset to factory settings today and lets see what happens. If it plays up again I will take it back and see what can be done. problem is in doing that the store just send all such devices back to Samsung's repair representative and I would be without the phone for maybe a month. After sales in this country is abysmal and getting worse as the financial crisis bites even deeper here.:(

I shall press on for now and see what happens.:good:

Sync issues

Hi all,

I am experiencing this wierd bug on my note 3 with syncing of my google account. Device automatically disables sync for few of my google apps like Drive, Gmail, Calendar. Even if I enable sync, after a few hours the sync itself disables. Please note that this issue is not for all of my google apps, for eg. chrome and other google apps dont have this issue.

Does anyone know if something I should enable or do somewhere to resolve this annoyance?

Thanks

HTC wildfire s a-3333, GSM.

I unlocked the boot using revolutionary.io, rooted it afterwards.

Im unable to get any ROM past CyanogenMod 7.2 to boot(Android 2.3.7). What am I missing? I'm thinking about a kernel update, but i'm pretty much lost, and all I seem to find on the net is outdated.

CWM is version 4. When I install v5, it loads but as soon as I reboot it goes back to v4.x.x.

I've tried CM9,10,10.1 neither of them boots. Only --CM 7.2 is able to boot.

Cheers

Third party VOIP apps that use system sounds gave this error, so disabling it the issue is solved.

Do you feel annoyed every time when you need to access your Home or Office VPN with your Android device because you have to open up the System Settings and then open the VPN Settings?

I developed an application that acts as a shortcut to the Android VPN Settings. You just need to fire up the app and it will open the VPN Settings menu for you! Hope it will save you some clicks when you need to connect to your VPN!

The app is completely free and ad-free, please try! :angel:

You can find it on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rosaneng.vpnsettings

Or download the APK below and install it yourself:

[Android Apps and Games] dalidaa:
Actually using VPN service is the best for many reasons like changing IP address, be secured, encrypt your tunnel, speed up your connection, bypassing Firewalls and any restrictions to get free and unlimited browsing.. Personally I am using bVPN https://www.bvpn.com/en/faq/1032/ on my laptop and Galaxy note 4 with one account and I am totally satisfied..
[Android Apps and Games] Ecniv_FR:
Well depends how you look at it, yeah you will be using your own internet connection to go online and you will be able to access your own network. However it will cost you data from your carrier of course.

For me there was a free option from Asus that came with my router to setup a VPN and there are some free services out there as well (Mostly at limited speed and limited data amounts.). Just google "What is\ How to setup a VPN" and you`ll get all the answers you need:good:

Guys

I have 2 HOX my wife and sister use both are locked to Vodafone and one has a Vodafone SIM the other a TESCO SIM.

I even put a Vodafone SIM and tried and tried the Google Framework Wipe.

Any ideas why one updates and other work ?

Yep - Orange / T-Mobile / EE are still waiting for it as well. I got sick of waiting & flashed ARHD onto mine this weekend.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iam_emailer:
I tried to google any related threads to the symptom that my N7 2013 shows, but so far couldn't find any. So I decided to start a new thread to see if I'm the only one in this.

As the thread title suggests, the screen freezes randomly and comes back to life after a few seconds later. It doesn't seem to be happening continuously, but the interval between one and the next one should be something like half an hour, give or take. Funny thing is, when it happens, it does recognize all the inputs made on the screen while frozen and once the screen starts responding again, everything I have done in the meantime appears on it afterwards such as typing, swiping, etc.

I suspect it started happening after I installed the newest firmware, JLS36I, but can't be sure as I have received in the fairly early stage of rollout--pretty much on the same day Google started rolling it out, which was just a few days after I got my N7 2013.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iam_emailer:
Didn't know it's a known issue with Android 4.3. But it's somewhat odd that I never had such problems with Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2012 although both are on 4.3. And it seems I was a bit ambiguous or misleading with the description. Mine is also about a few seconds, between five to ten second each, but it seems like it happens every half an hour if I use the device continuously. Is it somewhat similar to your N4?
