I have to say, these Note 3 Clones with claims to have 2GB of Ram, looks all Fake for me. Look the one from you videio, say it have 1,1 GB Been used, and 1,4GB Free, but i can't see process to show if the System is really using, some versions with this Real S-Pen, claims to have 4GB of Ram, this looks completely fake. But i can't say if i'm right before test it.

Don't think my infrared works,tried looking at it through an iPhone camera but couldn't see any light. Also I can't backup rom with MTK tools,gets so far then seems to just stop but green at at bottom still runs.

As I said earlier my N9006 tells me its an N9002 at boot logo and in CPU identifier?

Any ideas.
[Android General] z2168235:

It has really 2GB Ram, and real multi-window?

I don't say it is better, just that it for me looks like the same. I don't have that device, so I can't promise you anything. I just relate to what info I have found on the net, and my personal experience. As told before, you never know with these clones.

[Android General] jonnyc51:
Just noticed even my signature in my posts says SM-N9002 and I bought the SM N-9006.
[Android General] filip_pine:
your clone is the SM900, same like mine, you dont have N9006, just install the newest ROM from needrom.com and your phone will work much more smother...

PS : i just manage to install on my device the following games :

- GTA San Andreas ( works awesome at highest graphics )

- Modern Combat 4 Zero Hour ( works good and the games is awesome )

- Real Racing 3 by EA Games ( works good, sometimes little laggy, but overall is working nice )

How can I get my backup to work so I can install a new ROM,it gets to MBR part of backup and just sits there only 4mb worth of data in the backup folder.
[Android General] filip_pine:
i dont know, you dont have the same device like mine, i have the SM900, yours is N9002, i recommend you to flash with SP Flash Tools the ROM Version for your device from needrom...

i didn't do a backup when i flash the ROM, but hey, that's me... i dont advice to flash if you do t want to flash it without a backup...
[Android General] jonnyc51:
Just tried a backup again in MTK tools and it completes but with an error message at the end,The .MD5' file is missing in the backup folder,

Trying to contact FCT why the phone gives me n-9002 and n9006 in different parts of the OS,I mean its boot logo says n-9002 but in cpu identifier

its a n-9006,still not convinced infrared works,would the fact its the dual sim version of n-9006 make a difference.

sorry to keep banging on about this but i want a clean rom installed but just cant backup factory yet and worried i can brick it.

thanks.

Custom rom for note 3 max n9006

Is there out any custom rom for the HDC Galaxy Note 3 Max N9006 MTK 6589? or maybe someone its developing something?:(
[Android General] s7yler:
Maybe they are the same, but the dualsim is just called N9002 because offically the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9002 is also the Dual SIM variant. I am not sure, but I think that the ROM for the max N9006 also would work on yours just with Dual SIM, maybe the firmware autodetects if the phone is single or dual sim if the hardware is there, but I am not sure - it's just a guess.
[Android General] jonnyc51:
I hope your right.is there a link in this thread for cwm.zip and the better n-9006 ROM?

Do you think in safe to remove Chinese apps with MTKtooks and not loose play store?
[Android General] s7yler:
First backup whole ROM, then root the phone. Then you can try to install Titanium Backup Pro (costs a little bit) in the Play Store.

With that app you can try to Freeze the chinese apps you want to remove, reboot phone and check if everything still works at it should. If you then are 100% sure that everything is fine, you can go a step further and uninstall the app(s) from the ROM! but that also means that the app will be removed 100% from the ROM. So you have to be sure it is not an important app in the ROM. If something should go wrong, you have your original backup of the ROM. If you have something called "PlayApp" don't uninstall that one, it may control some of the features in the phone, like lockscreen etc.
[Android General] filip_pine:
if you want to uninstall pre-installed apps, you can use the method that styler gives you, or much more simple is install from Play Store an app called Clean Master ( is free ) , you go to app manager and you have 2 options > 3th-rd party installed apps or pre-installed apps... once remove them, they are deleted from the ROM, but like styler said, you have to know what is that app doing... carrefully cuz removing pre-installed app may brick your phone...
[Android General] s7yler:
That is why I would start to "freeze" them only, if they then are important you can always "unfreeze" them again. I don't know if Clean Master has the freeze function also. The freeze function is like disabling the apps and its features, but without really removing it.

camera issues

Hi there, I just got my phone from FCT, and is a great phone, it has multiwindows, air view, etc, overall is a great phone for the price. But I have two issues, first at all, the camera it seems that doesn't focus, I don't know if it is a hardware problem or with a new rom it could work better; in the other hand, I can't make the IR works, it seems that it works, I tried the camera trick and the IR sparks, is there a trick?

Thank you.

That on your screenshot looks really stupid. (that ROM of yours must be very old).

BLUETOOT

H

SCREEN

MORROR....

?

Wtf, BLUETOOTH should be on 1 line, that the H is on line 2 makes it look like a very bad copy. And SCREEN MORROR? That should have been "Screen mirror", they even can't spell right. But if you like it like that then good for you.

But I rather like it how it is on the MAX N9006, on only 1 line where the word just fade away, that looks much nicer. No matter whether the entire line is shown or not. You know the option from the icon.

how to install CLOCKWORKMOD / ROOT & BACKUP for the HDC GALAXY Note 3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnjNtZ6kea0

The video contains (links to the ADB drivers and MTK droid tools are down in the video description)

1. Enable developer options and set USB debugging to on

2. Install the ADB drivers on your computer

3. Root the phone with MTK Droid tools 2.53

4. Install ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM)

5. Make a backup in CWM

6. How to access CWM with the buttons

It is not a guide that shows it all 100%, but I explain the most in the video. I hope it maybe helps some.

But remember it is on your own risk. I take no responsibility for anything!

different n9006

Hi guys,

I got the note 3 clone from Ibaby888 same link as in the op. But with my firmware its unusual. Instead of it saying sm-n9006 in the settings and upon boot up, it says instead sm-n900. So I think the ROM that came with it is for the sm-n900 variant ported for the n9006. My ROM still has the remote app n otg tutorial, but I am yet to figure out how the remote works. I cannot get the it sensor to work I have tried the phone camera trick to see if it lights up but I couldn't see anything I might try it in a dark room. Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing before unless the seller has sent me the wrong phone. But when I go into mobile uncle tools it says device model n9006 so again that's quite strange (IMO). I'm under the suspicion the ir doesn't work because I'm not on the n9006 ROM. I would take a screenshot for u guys but I don't know how it doesn't come up in the sub menu when u hit the power button. Thanks guys....
[Android General] filip_pine:
take the screenshot with the S-Pen...
[Android General] z2168235:
Your are the same as mine, sm-n900, but my ir is working. To take the screen capture, press "power"+"volume -"+"home" button or you can use the s-pen.

May I ask if your gps working? Able to lock and determine location? Do you able to install app at microsSD? On my phone they partition the rom into internal and phone memory. So when I put microSD, it will be considrted as 3rd memory device. Unfortunately, I think the OS only allow you to install apps at 1st and 2nd memmory. I can still read data or play music/movie from microSD though.

custom cost

Hi jonnyc51, I'm thinking of getting one of these clones. How much did customs charge you to get it. I'm also in the uk. Not quite made up my mine yet the 9006 max or the newer 2gb model. Any thoughts?

Thanks
[Android General] jonnyc51:
Hello buddy,customs charged me £22.50 import charge and it took nearly 3 weeks to come from FastCardTech,but I tracked it

and about 8 days was in transit so yours might be quicker.

The 9006 max is very good for the price,im pleased with it, but there are a few niggles I will list for easy read.

only 1 gb partition for app,not nearly enough.

Not sure if remote works,don't really care to be honest.

battery life is good but it will stay between 100 and 79 percent for ages then dies really quick,like 3-4 hours,but last all day.

camera is good,and as fast as my galaxy s 3 when using,I have the dual sim version which I use for work sim and personal sim

great feature,over all well chuffed,2 gb ram version will be faster and if you have the cash spend it,I plan on getting at least 2 new Chinese

clones a year and staying with my 3 one plan sim,saves me a packet.

cheers.
[Android General] lozweezy:
Thanks bud, they have to get their bit:'( kind of limited to the max version now. £150+£22.50 starts to get a bit giddy. The wife won't be pleased!!!! Glad yours is going well. Your GPS OK. I like to use copilot with my s2.

What's the default partition size in the other Roms for N-9006.

Mine is only 1gb and I'm constantly pestered about low space.I have SD set as install location but still get error.
[Android General] z2168235:
If I read corectly mine is

2G: Device (Internal storage)

6G: SDCARD0 (Phone storage)

8G/16G/32G: SDCARD1 (This is my microSD, size depend on what I put inside)

They actually partition the ROM into "Internal storage" and "Phone storage". I wish they did not do that because now I cannot move app to microSD.
[Android General] s7yler:
Yes it is almost like this (actually I think it is less, but nevermind).

The problem is that we need to make the Internal storage bigger, but then we also make the Phone storage smaller.

It is not possible always to use external SDcard1 as forced default for all apps from the Play store. Because some apps, and some games don't accept external SDcard as installation location. There's a app called "Link2SD" on the Play Store, with that you can see the real "Storage info". In the Settings you can set Install location to Auto, Internal or External. But if you set it to External (you then try to force apps to be installed on external SDcard). Then some apps may give you an error when you try to install them from the Play store. The error is not because of the phone, but because of the app not allowing it to be installed to external SDcard. So the conclusion to this is, we can never use external SDcard1 as default installation location.

When you install for example "CSR racing" (a game on the play store) then I belive it install the app itself on the internal (few mb), but gamedata is stored automatically on the Phone storage. So the games are actually using the Phone storage to save gamedata. If we make the Phone storage smaller and give it to the Internal storage, then we may instead run short on Phone storage to games. (on my phone SDCARD0 Phone storage is already stuffed, but it is because I moved a lot of apps from Internal storage to Phone storage).

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

try to move (with "AppMgr III") as much you can from the Internal storage to the Phone storage (wich has 5-6 GB space). Then your Internal will have some space again.

Some play store apps don't allow to be installed on SD card, so that option will never work 100%.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

ye if a Note 2 is fine for you then I would probably also get that instead. But IMO a Note 2 is ugly and bulky compared to the design of the Note 3 which is much more elegant.
[Android General] z2168235:
is there any app to move partition? like partition magic for pc?

My SDcard1 can only use for data, like camera picture, music or movie. AppMgr III and APP2SD cannot move app to external SD card. I have not try Link2SD.

On my old HTC, there is only 1 ROM partition call "Device" which is 1.1GB. My external SD recognize as SDCARD. I can easily move app from device to SDCARD using AppMgr III or APP2SD. The same app that can be install on external SD on my HTC, cannot be install it to external SD on note3 clone. I'm guessing this is due to the OS does not allow you to install app to 2nd SDCARD. I'm hopping it will fix the problem if I can remove SDCARD0 partition and increase the "Device" partition.

Another thing is every time I connect the phone to pc, the icon for any app install on SDCARD0 will disappear from the main window (I'm not sure how you call it). I have to copy the icon again from the apps folder.
