KK update sucks, I wasn't hoping for some ground breaking changes but at least don't break the **** that was already working.

1. Slow Wifi speeds.

2. VPN freezes and works at 0.1mb transfer rate

3. Apps cannot write to external SD card.

I know I can fix #3 by rooting but I don't want to root. Sadly, I am losing interest in Android.

For #2 there is a bug logged and if Google get's up their asses they might fix it in 4.4.3 but does anybody know if #3 will ever be back like it used to in 4.3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
I agree that 4.3 was the most stable firmware I've used in Android. Many apps simply keep crashing. They used to work great with 4.3. Android is trying to become like ios. . By blocking apps and reducing core functionality, ease of data transfer and permissions. Isn't that the reason why we all switched to Android? Future asop of Android is said to block rooting etc. . Fear the worst guys

Android 4.5 May Break Compatibility with Many Current Root Apps

[Galaxy Note 3 General] FireWall123:
Google encourages its users to root their devices (Especially Nexus devices..)

Some OEMs ( like Smasung... Example..) are the ones whom trying to prevent you from root. By losing a feature for example. Like the not used Knox :P

Also, compatibility is not a problem. There's always a workaround, As long as Google encourages Rooting, they will always leave the door open for us PowerUsers :P

Any specific reason for choosing fit? Instead of gear 2 or neo?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ather:
I don't need a lousy camera on a watch, and we aren't Americans so our English accent isn't that great, so s voice wont function well, also i'd rather talk on my phone than on a watch, the fit has a heart rate sensor, i can get all the notifications, dismiss calls with or without message..

n9905 Orange France edition?

i ordered N9005 from alshop.com and it got delivered today. But i noticed it says Orange France on the label on the box. Should i be on the lookout for anything? like region lock or reactivation lock? the phone would be used in UAE and in India.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
Read the box carefully. . The will be a sticker saying region lock.

I think it's region locked to orange better return it while you can..All Grey imports..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FahadHassan:
Your phone might be rooted as well....

check KNOX flag; it would be set i.e. 0x01

I also ordered my phone online; but kept the phone even though it was rooted. If you don't mind a rooted phone you can keep it otherwise return it if you don't root phones and flash ROMs or are not a developer.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] moinsheriff:
it doesnt say region locked anywhere on the box. i spoke to the representative at alshop. he says the phone can be used in UAE/India. and that it is brand new and it sold by samsung itself on alshop
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
This is imei sticker..Any sticker on the side of the box?

Sammobile shows France orange is still on 4.3 kitkat. .

Uae already got 2 firmware for 4.4.2..

Good luck
[Galaxy Note 3 General] moinsheriff:
JB/Kitkat thats fine. this phone is for my sister. i already have my note 3 rooted with Kitkat
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
It's cool then in my opinion..In any case put Indian sim and test it..I guess the must have activated the phone in France. Cool
[Galaxy Note 3 General] micky387:
If the phone goes to rooted, chainfire haved go out one app for unlock stupide region lock.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.regionlockaway.

Or xnote rom is the must. Already unlocked.

Be careful. Use "root de la vega " for dont touch knox . Stay in 0x0.

What's the selling price for a used Note 3 in Dubai? I am considering selling mine.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
My number my identity

I am on latest U.A.E Stock ROM, Before in Jelly bean settings status I was able to see my Mobile number but after flashing latest kitkat ROM, I can not see my mobile number, anyone has any Idea?:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
Where is this setting located exactly
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
settings-general-about device-status-my phone number
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mustajab Is'haq:
I think you have to enter your no. in your own profile in the contacts app for that to happen. I may be wrong though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
No It was coming in jelly bean automaticaly as XSI code for UAE is comes under " MY NUMBER MY IDENTITY", campaign but when I flash poland than UK firmware its gone & that's normal but now on UAE kitkat its not there.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
Never had my number displayed either. .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
If your phone is with XSI code originally it was displaying, my uae firmware I flashed in india with indian sim card & after comeback to dubai it was flashed by samsung authorized service but sim card was not inside phone, may be that's the reason I don't know.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ather:
Goto settings, general, about, status and you'll see my phone number written, i flashed Poland fw then reflashed the uae one
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
[MENTION=494193]Ather[/MENTION] this is what I am saying, before phone number was there but now its not there, may need to factory reset with simcard inside phone?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
I don't understand why u have phone number & not me, for me last flashed by samsung authorized service center, now i factory reset & set it up with uae sim inside but no good news, its not a big issue but just curies, also GPS satellite locking takes longer since kitkat launched, poland, uk & now uae firmware takes same time, but in jelly bean it was very fast.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ather:
Try using another sim card because i use 4G sim card, or try some one elses sim and check

I am also using 4g sim , I will try another sim.

If I root gn3. .. will I receive ota. Or Kies update?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mustajab Is'haq:
As soon as you root your phone the System status is displayed as 'Modified'. A modified system does not receive OTA updates nor does it connect to Kies.

However you can change system status to 'Official' using Wanam Xposed module. I don't know if it works on the N3 though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
I think note 3 will not get any more updates. . No harm on rooting I guess
[Galaxy Note 3 General] samysung:
Good morning :)

Am from Egypt .. and my note 3 is still on 4.3 i just rooted my phone and everything is going well .. since two days i used Wanam to set the N3 status to Original ... today i got the KK update ( i even didn't knew it's released for egypt ) ... it will be installed !!

will i need ti root the N3 again after it finish updates or no ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
Wanam exposed needs root. . So if it works. . It's rooted
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mustajab Is'haq:
Yes you will have to root once again after installing KK update.

Rooting trips knox and keep in mind you can't go back to 4.3 JB once you are on KitKat.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
Is there a way to make note 3 a pure nexus device? That's the dream. No custom rom
[Galaxy Note 3 General] samysung:
the phone said it will restart upgrading to KK ... but it starts at recovery TWRP ... after restarting again it said that couldn't update and i should use Kies !

What can i do to upgrade to KK ??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] darkshaft:
Impossible to make it pure nexus without custom rom; however, you can install launcher like kitkat launcher which will give a taste of pure android experience.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FahadHassan:
You have a rooted phone right? Go flash a ROM....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mustajab Is'haq:
Download firmware of your country from Sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.

That should work.

Dear Friends

I have a NOTE 2 with XSG ROM

Bootloader: N7100XXUFND4

Baseband: N7100XXUFND3

PDA: N7100XXUFND4

CSC: N7100OJVFND3

and a NOTE 3 with XSI ROM

Bootloader: N9005XXUEND3

Baseband: N9005XXUENC2

PDA: N9005XXUEND3

CSC: N9005OJVENE1

But the TouchWiz in Note 2 (touchwiz 4.4.2-n7100xxufnd4) is much more better with more options than what i have in my Note3 (4.4.2-n9005xxuend3).

for instance when you long press on a program icon in apps it has 5 options: 1.Create Folder 2.Create Page 3.App info 4.Uninstall 5.Cancel

but in note 3 I have only 3 options: 1.Create Folder 2.App info 3.cancel.

any idea?

For Create page you have Icon downside when you keep holding a app, for uninstalling app you have option in menu.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
obviously touch wiz will vary from devices to devices. and u wont get all options for better or worse. like sd card write was there in 4.3 and is not in 4.4.2..so 4.3 was better in that aspect.

I was thinking of buying a Note 3 this week but since the Note 4 will be announced a few months from now I have decided to wait.

If the N4 is just an incremental update (ala S5) its better to get the Note 3 since it will be much cheaper by that time.

Rumors say that the Note 4 will feature a new design and will not be an incremental update like the S5. I hope these rumors come true. What do you think guys?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
i think..note 4 will be a larger s5 with higher resolution ..better processor ..805..mostly. .16mp camera..screen is 5.7 so that's similar to note 3..fingerprint sensor. .heart rate sensor etc will be added..that's all. .and the new ui. i heard note 3 will get new ui with note 4 launch.

According to rumors, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will to sport a 5.7 inch super AMOLED screen display with a pixel resolution of 2560 x 1440 and 500+ ppi. The handset will also be powered by a quad core Snapdragon 805 processor that clock at 2.5GHz paired with RAM and will have a flexible or curved display. A Samsung insider initially revealed that Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be released on Sept. 3 at the IFA tech event in Berlin, which is its usual launching platform.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] kk12002:
According to SamMobile, there will be the usual two different models for the Note 4 - one for North America, South Korea, China, and Japan, and one for everywhere else. And, as you might expect, the North American version will be running a Snapdragon 805 SoC, while the other model will use Samsung's own Exynos chipset. Word has it that the Exynos SoC to be used will be the 5433, codenamed "HelsinkiPro". The report is confirming that the device will have a 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution AMOLED display, but there is no word yet on the size of that display. Of course, since this is a Note device, it is safe to assume the display will be in the 5.7-inch to 6-inch range.

As far as the other specs to expect, the report says the Note 4 will carry a 16MP rear camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), which will be made by Sony. The front camera should be the same 2MP sensor found on the Galaxy S5. Another interesting addition is that beyond the usual sensors that you might expect, Samsung is reportedly also putting a UV sensor in the Note 4. This could allow for better auto-brightness adjustments to reduce eye strain, and could be able to connect with wearables to offer better sleep tracking data. And, of course, it could help to warn you if you are at risk for a sun burn when you're outside. That seems like a useful addition.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mustajab Is'haq:
Yeah but like the N3 I think it's safe to assume that we will get the Snapdragon model in Middle Eastern countries which already have 4G LTE connectivity.

Lets hope it does'nt cost a fortune.
