Don't listen to them

I just bought Note 3 after using Note 2 for couple of months

And go for Note 3 believe me this is the beast .. Note 3 Snap dragon
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efjbdejong:
I am in the same boat as op.

I have a s2 now for 3 years and looking for an upgrade.

Minimum 5 inch screen, preferably a tad bigger.

Key feature should be office workability, due to a upcoming promotion as a project manager.

So I need info from all sorts of documents on the fly. Including excel.

Does the note provide this?

For free time I love playing games and viewing movies.

Help appreciated.

U may have to wait for few weeks to get the full hands on review about this. Nexus 5. The specs r good. But we don't know about battery life, camera performance, and heating issues. Note 3 is good in these areas.

I am planning on using the Note 3 with stock firmware from Samsung... because of warranty issues of knox trigger. This would also help on trying to reproduce bugs that appear on TouchWiz platform easier. So, having stock on Note3 sucks performance wise ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
Perhaps wait for nokia lumia 1520.

That's ideal for such mundane tasks. Lol

Note 3 is far better then note 2 for sure but is it the best ow no. It's a beast but not the best.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tWoBrO:
If i didn't have the Note 3 already i would be pretty tempted to buy the Nexus 5. It's half the price, here, with great hardware, Kit Kat, Google updates, etc. But those touch buttons (why?) on the screen are a no no for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alinescoo:
Thank you all for replies. After doing a lot of reading on the Buyers remorse thread :) I see that most of note3 users are happy. The only notable problems are: very weak audio output because of the small speaker, the pink effect around black edges on low brightness settings and the wobbly home button. Also I see that the battery isn't so great.

I am really thinking what to get, as I said, the difference would be around 150$ in price.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toker_X1:
If I didn't have N3 already I would have the N5. I had N4 previously.

N3 has plus and minus points.

+ points

Battery Life - best I ever had

SD Card - installed 64GB,some users have install 128GB.

Big Screen - I like the screen some don't like AMOLED colors.

Fastest CPU & 3GB RAM

Multi Window & Pen Window

IrDA port - can control devices from my phone.

- points

Design - not very stylish

Build quality - my back cover already creaks only 1 month old. Others have experienced Home button and screen/multi touch issues

External Speakers - embarrassing from Samsung.

Samsung bloatware - unnecessary

Wireless Charging - not built in but @ extra cost

Costum ROM

why wouldn't you just wait on xda to get pure 4.4 android and install that ROM on your note 3 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
Hi,

the Google Nexus 5 is indeed a very good phone. Having switched from Nexus 4 to Galaxy Note 3 I can basically give you good explanations.

The Galaxy Note 3 has plenty more features than the Google Nexus 4 abd 5 which is great.

I would say the Note 3 wins everywhere against the Nexus unless you tell me you prefer smaller screen. In my case, the screen size was the reasob why I moved.

On the otherside, yes there are a lot of Samsung apps and that sucks to me. The Galaxy Note 3 can be rooted easily, so you can easy remove those bloatwares which make me feel more confortable that way.

On the other hand, I do prefer the PURE Androis that the Google Nexus has to the TouchWiz by Samsung because it uses way less resources.

The perfect phone for me would be a Note 3 with a AOSP Rom. (CyanogenMod or Android Open Kang Project (AOKP) because it would give the pure android feeling which means higher battery life, no bloatwares, faster updates.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alinescoo:
Ok guys, some N5 reviews have appeared and to be honest, things don't look that good in battery and camera departments. Actually that was kinda expected considering the 2300 mAh battery and 1080p screen.

Now back to note 3, all the small things that bothered me (wobbly home button, pinkish black borders, bloatware) are not important anymore. The things that worries me most is the screen burn in. I saw some reviews where this is mentioned (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3mbkoXCMhs&feature=em-uploademail from 19 minute). I have own so far a Galaxy S1 and a Galaxy Nexus both having amoled screens. On my GNex sometimes I can see the keyboard shadow after using it, but I haven't really noticed any permanent retention as it goes off after a few seconds. I just did a quick check with blue color all over the screen and I can see a very faint shadow of the top bar, but nothing really noticeable. BUT, I use the phone on auto brightness and considering that Note 3 has the most bright amoled display built, I am afraid that it will suffer from permanent burn in because of blue pixels. Could anyone tell me if they have burn in ? This is a major drawback for me and might be the point which may convince me to give up on note3 in favor of N5.

Thanks all for your help. I really appreciate it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitech:
For me it's so simple. They don't even belong to the same category.

Do you need/like the S-Pen features (and do you actually use them)? Do you need the bigger screen and the amazing Full HD @60fps video (let alone the 4K)?

If not then the Nexus 5 is a no brainer at this price point. Plain and simple.

Apps and bloatware are of no importance to me. I always remove them to my preference, to me flashing ROMs is an integral part of a smartphone like Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alinescoo:
I agree with you, but if the screen has issues than all the other features are pointless, considering that the screen is the thing we see most.

It would be really great if owners could do some screen tests and return with the result.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
I'm only keeping the Note III so I can have AOSP on it, I'm waiting very patiently for Paranoid Android to be ported over. I can't stand TouchWiz, after using Nexus devices for I don't now how long, I really love the Vanilla look.

I don't particularly like anything but the specs and big screen of the Note III, as soon as I can get rid of TW the happier I'll be. I was almost tempted to get a Nexus 5, but the screen on the Note III has stopped me doing so.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitech:
I don't have multitouch problems, my home button is just fine and battery life is a tad better than what my Note II was (ceteris paribus) from my experience.

For me if you are even considering the N5 alternative, go for it. It means you don't mind the smaller screen and tha lack of S-PEN.

I most certainly do, I cannot imagine my smartphone without them nowadays but different people different needs.

Don't over complicate things if you want my opinion, just put the main facts that matter for you most in a smartphone and go for it. Both are exceptional and top of the line smartphones with bleeding edge tech, you can't go wrong with anyone. Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narada2XK:
Have any of you with the Note 3 not experienced any KNOX related issues, random freeze and reboots? What about internal memory low? I am slowly seeing people with these problems popping up, myself included from day one and I hope there's a fix for it.

From my experience the Note 3 is a great device but you know Samsung, there's always something up.

I would play it safe and buy a Nexus 5 dude.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitech:
No low memory or freezes/reboots, just an annoying message all the time that KNOX has blocked some of my apps. This message appeared out of the blue despite the fact I had never activated KNOX in the first place, so what I did was the following.

Use this with rooted devices.

1) Use RootExplorer or similar and mounted SYSTEM as WRITABLE.

2) Go to: / data / data / and search com.sec.knox.seandroid and rename to knox.seandroid or whatever you like. Do the same with com.sec.knox.store

3) Go to: / system / app / and delete: KNOXAgentk. apk, KNOXStore.apk,

4) Restart the phone

Or use Titanium Pro and delete/uninstall anything KNOX related there for non rooted users.

After that you should be fine. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narada2XK:
Yeah, I am not rooted so I won't be able to do that.

I don't want to root just yet but if you'd like, check out my post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47178130&postcount=52 that might give you an idea why.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitech:
Well you have your reasons for not rooting but.. Why don't you use Titanium Pro to remove anything KNOX related as I suggested then for non root users?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
From the start I want to mention,

My Note 3 has no issues.

No abnormal screen tints, no crooked home button, I last 5 days on one charge, no freezing, nothing. The only thing was that the Spen was not sensitive enough for my taste since I'm used to a Wacom Intuos4, but as I have had to do with that I had to do with this: manually set the sensitivity on the pen with the potentiometer.

I had a look at the Nexus 5, and while I see the point in 'It will get updates first', Google only supports a device for 18 months. Even the Nexus devices.

Nexus 5 over Note 3:

- No KNOX

- Direct Google Support

- Direct updates

- Not RegionLocked (Chainfire fixed that, by the way.)

- Optical Image Stabilization

- Native 4.4 Kitkat (Which is better optimized)

- No Touchwiz

- No SVoice you can't get rid of.

Note 3 over Nexus 5:

- MicroSD (Maybe you lot have 100% 4G coverage across the entire country, but 90% of my 7 hour train commute consists of a blackout zone. Good luck streaming videos without ANY mobile signal. And we've only just begun rolling out 4G in the capital. It'll be early 2016 before everyone has 4G in the cities.)

- 5.7" screen. (4.95" is FAR too small for me. I used an S4 for a while, god that's tiny.)

- 13MP camera.

- 4K Video recording

- 3GB RAM

- 3200Mah

- Removable Cover&Battery.

- Spen

- IR Blaster

So it really comes down to whether the hardware sacrifices are worth having direct Google support. For me, hell no.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masapa:
how do you feel about the development community on note 3? will there be any? how was it with the note 2?

i come from Galaxy S3, loved paranoid android and the stock look.

On note 3, i use the S-Pen daily (taking my lecture notes with it) and i kinda dont want to lose that...

im betting, enabling s-pen features is not easy as just installing apk / lib. Seeing no ROMs for note 3 is kinda scary. This is powerful machine, and i would love to see some rom development on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nop56773:
I had to choose the Note 3 because I have a shortlist from my employer to choose from and that didn't include N5. However, these are 2 of the 3 phones that would be in my shortlist (together with G2).

For my taste, N5 is better in almost everything except battery (I'm a HUGE fan of large batteries) and some minor features (like IR, pedometer and other N3 sensors). I'm not sure how I'll feel about the 5.7 screen. Tomorrow I'll know. Also, I'm not fond of N3's exterior and Touchwiz, but I've been living with it on my S3 LTE (due to unstable AOSP/CM roms) and i'm getting used to it. I replace the calendar with googles default and soon we'll have hangouts with SMS support, so it's one less app from Samsung that I have to use.

On the note 3 side, I'm happy to have 3200mAh battery, as well as 3GB RAM, very good screen in movie/professional mode (acording to Anandtech) and mostly the highest specs in everything (screen, GPU, CPU, RAM, sensors, etc.). So I hope to enjoy my N3 from tomorrow on.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verbrannt:
I recently purchased a galaxy note 3 sm-900. I was desperate to return my android experience back to the one that I had become accustomed to on previous phones, so among other things I set about the task of removing google's new voice search and finding a way to install the old one. In short, I rooted the phone and deleted system apps using RootAppDelete. I uninstalled the google search app itself and then one that said something along the lines of com.google.android.voicesearch. After that, the google play store finally allowed me to download a fresh copy of the old voice search app, which installed just fine and works almost like it should on my phone. The only problem I have is that the app does not recognize voice commands, which is primarily what I use the app for. If I say "Navigate to X", the phone will open the browser with a google search for "Navigate to X". I really need to find a way to make these voice commands work. I have been digging through internet threads for the last few hours trying to find someone with a similar problem but with little success.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?

Hey guys, I'm working on porting Liquid Smooth to the N5110 and am gauging interest.

Any volunteer testers?

So far, I've ported a copy based on Note 2 using Sbrissen's CM10.2 as a base.

Here is the link:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23203820527943718

You will need to flash this then gapps.

Please flash at your own risk!

This is a test only.

I am currently trying to get one built from source too.

Thanks goes out to Sbrissen for using his CM10.2 n5110 rom as a base. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2391516

Also to the Liquid Smooth team who are helping me to build a source rom (coming soon).

I'm using Civato's Rom also. It's a nice piece of work. I'd love to compare it to Liquid tho
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] AddiKTi:
It was meaningless, since it requires root access and I didn't have those. And I noticed that when I go into the active windows list (not sure what it's called) I noticed that the pictures of apps and the *kill all apps from the list* -button was pointing to my left when I was holding the tablet normally (home buttons down). I switched to PAC-ROM but I'm willing to try a new build when it's ready :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] AddiKTi:
So I changed the root settings from Developer settings to Only Apps and the root access started working and so did the Performance Control. I guess the problem was at the Apps and ADB -setting, so until now it's working great :)

New bug: The rom makes the tablet reboot randomly! And I have noticed the battery-life isn't so great but I suppose it's because of there is still cellular network enabled in this rom.

[Moto X Q&A] banboy:
does anybody know about the quality and how strong is the camera lens from the moto x can handle from scratch ? I'm just thinking about cover it with plastic or cut a few piece from smartphone screen protector and put it on the top of the moto x camera lens surface, well I've attached the moto x with softgel TPU case it has like 5-8mm space between the camera lens of moto x with the softgel TPU case but you know when the phone is already inside your pant's it can get scratch with something that you also put inside your pants , or am I just being to paranoid ? you know I've tried to search this kind of thread in this moto x section but can't find the right one.

hopefully with a pieace of mind from you that would help me or understand more better about how to protect the moto x camera lens .
[Moto X Q&A] 1ManWolfePack:
If you put a screen protector over it your picture quality will be crap. Not sure what the protection level is, but I'd say as adequate and standard as most other phones - minus the HTC X (or whatever 1st gen One was called), and I'd even be as bold to say it looks like we have more protection on the lens than the Nexus 5.

You'll be fine with just your TPU case.

[Android General] CliffW:
I am very much a noob. Hope this is in the right thread. Just want to say thank you to the developers of:

[ROM][4.3.1] Slimbean With Halo Unofficial build 2.0[10/24/2013][Houstonn's Adreno Kernel]

It flashed so smoothly it was incredible. It is the only custom ROM that my E970 will run properly. Most of the others would not even flash, stuck in boot loop or soft brick, camera not working, no WiFi, etc. My phone was shutting down on it's own and I could not solve the problem until I found this Rom. Now my phone does not shut down on it's own, but it performs even better than with stock and the only other custom ROM SnowLoepard that I could flash to it. On those it would do the mysterious shut down thing,

So a big thank you to Slimbean developers, you save me a lot of money not having to by new hardware. :):good:
