awaiting note 4 only

via The Beast
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Edbert:
There are four GS3s and 4s on my plan right now, and I have the GN3. I loved the brand, own 3 of their TVs and even a refrigerator.

But this KNOX thing is the end of my relationship with them until they remove it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] smokey_bear:
To me the only option will be the Note 4 or 5. Reasons are simple: I will never go back to a screen smaller then 5.7-inch, and the S-Pen is also important to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cydiamante:
Just upgraded from the Galaxy S4 which I loved. But the Note 3 is an awesome phone!! I cant see my self going back to a smaller screen unless the S5 brings something really special and unique to the table.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] KevandLynds:
I absolutely love the note 3 but I'm gutted that not many ROMs are out, especially aokp/aosp, if there ain't any support by the time the s5 comes out think I'll be changing.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chkenwing:
If Samdung decide to screw Hong Kong users again by claiming they're only releasing > 32gb but then end up releasing only a 16gb version like they did with the Note 3 here, no effing way. I'll take my business elsewhere. Bunch of lying d-bags.

I wonder if I could sue their derrieres. ...since technically speaking they did mention they're dropping the 16GB line.....yet they still choose to release it in an area where the phone market is ridiculous.

If you change DPI settings with AppSettings, you can see a lot more on spreadsheets and maps.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mrlovkim:
With technology changing so fast and I am in a two contract this time I am keeping my Note 3 till the Note 5.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] !crazy:
I new that. It is only that last time I tried it, I didn't liked the result. And back then it also caused a lot of problems with some apps.

How is it working nowadays. There are ROMs, I think PA can do that, where one can set DPI per application. The question is how good that works... And we on Note 3 still have to wait for AOSP based ROMs to show up...

On 'smaller' phones , like S3, or Galaxy Nexus which I used first time to experiment with DPI, I prefer stock settings.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] KruseLudsMobile:
I think you will find most people will say they cannot see going backwards from a larger to a smaller screen. Same goes for me.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pat.:
What exactly does "premium body instead of plastic" mean ?

If you mean metal, I've had one experience with a metal frame phone (HTC) it was cold in the hand & would dent.

Plastic is obviously the best material for the job it can hold shape, take shocks & return to that shape, doesn't attract condensation & is a comfortable temperature in the hand.

Also no way would I go for a smaller screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
Everyone says no but I am thinking maybe yes. I would like a better camera and actually dropping a size in screen can help with one handed operations.

I dig the notes size and pen but there are times when I wish I had an s4 for many other times.

Also would like to get a Google Edition version. We all know there will never be a GE Note 3 so that's that
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maanz "L":
Will not buy any Samsung phones anymore in the future until they remove the unnecessary Knox Bootloader.

If Samsung still insist in keeping it, they will see a dramatic decline of their sales of any newer devices and consumers will be better off get other brands like Sony, HTC and LG.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DrearierJester1:
For me its okay to give up my note 3 i rarely use the s-pen. I always use the camera plus the video editing and phoro editing tools ... note 3 camera doesnt impress me much... i hope s5 will bring and fix it soon ...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
I think the decline is only to the small percentage who want root and custom roms. The fact is they need knox for the others who need total security
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bisquick24:
I love my Note 3 and the big screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ixon2001:
Note 3 camera still decent in my book, but it a step back from the S3 camera which was superb.

Instead of offering more megapixels, they should lower it back to 8mp again & increase the sensor size as 8mp is more than enough for a smartphone camera.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
Lol. Someone might stab you for Saying this. :p Because HTC One's camera is 4MP? (Or UltraPixel if you choose to be deceived) Is dat what you want? Mate! It's true that S3 has a KickAss Camera.. But if you give enough light and in the perfect scenario, the Note 3's Camera is Fantastic! :)

Here is a shot I really like
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ixon2001:
No HTC One camera is tbh crap, it only any good in low light situations.

If done properly 8mp would be more than enough for most people, take the iPhone 5S for example they decided to stick with 8mp and increase the size of the pixels and the sensor, they did a much better job than HTC did, and the 5S take's both good pictures in both good and low light.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
Even if its flexible, I won't jump. Sorry to smaller screens. I may live without Pen, but not without bigger screens. 5.25 looks very small to me now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DrearierJester1:
Note 3 camera is good on daylight and well lit environment but struggle much in mid-low to super low lit ....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maanz "L":
Yeah, those knox security only intended at corporate users and business people, who don't need root.

All corporate users??

Normal people like u, me and hundreds and thousands of members here wants to use "it" on daily basis?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nabilsweet007:
if s5 is 5.9 inch then i will go with this
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
I find that by changing iso settings manually, I am still able to get good pictures even in mid to low light set ups.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] oclock:
Use fv5 and you dont have to set iso manually anymore.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] irishbogman:
Not me, love the Note 3 except for the Knox issue which is delaying my rooting the phone, Nexus 5, no thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.m0x:
I'm not a big fan of Knox but where do you turn to?

HTC? Crap battery life and a non removable battery.

Sony? Crap battery life and a non removable battery.

LG? Yeah maybe the G2 except the switch on the back is kind of irritating and it's also really hard to find accessories for it.

Nexus? Crap battery life, non removable battery, non expandable storage

And so the list continues. So far as I'm concerned, as much as Knox sucks, I'll not switch to a lesser phone over it. I can still root a Knox phone anyway, just loose my warranty but I was a loyal htc user for two years and rooting those has voided warranty for a long time so I'm used to it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DrawnToLife:
I don't think I can do without an S-pen anymore ;;

Although, I do wish that I could root my phone more easily..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
Spot on man. Samsung doesnt left us other choices to make, somewhere something misses out in other brands so we have to stick to samsung all the time. I dont care about looks, I just need solid lag free performance with greater battery life.

I was just wondering today that what will be the use of upcoming 2k displays, for me it will be a gimmick cz I dont use even 1080p display at full cz I turn brightness down to save battery.

And I'm waiting for note5. Seriously this one is a keeper. Note4 won't be that different except from higher res screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AvatarReborn:
I'll stick with my Note 3 until maybe the Note 4 comes out.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] @rbiter:
Not really Knox that bothers me. The automagically voiding warranty part does but that really isn't the problem. The problem is there should be consumer galaxy devices with no Knox and then enterprise versions with Knox. What bothers me about Knox in it's current incarnation is I wanted to finally start using encryption on my note 3 but once Knox is triggered you can't so us regular Joe consumers that dont need all of Knox's advantages can't even step up our consumer grade security.

i will buy it immediately then i will have 2 monsters the N3 and the S5....:D:cowboy:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Not likely seeing that I just got my Note 3 six days ago. Still the S5 looks like it will be a nice phone besides the knox nonsense.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] force70:
Based on the above post, knox, locked bootloaders, region lock and it seems now the inability to go back to previous firmware via odin after an update I will more than likely take a pass on the s5 and if LG releases an LTE version of the Gflex I will get it hands down over the S5 depsite lack of ext sd card support.

Samsung has went the wrong way with some of their so called "improvements" and have made owning their devices kinda of pointless for people like us who like to tinker. If I pay $800+ dollars for a device (I buy all my devices outright) I should be able to do with it what I want to...period.

I bought the s3, s4, note 2 and note 3 without a second thought sad to see sammy going the direction they are and not being able to look fwd to the next great device they release...and I would have kept buying them no doubt about it.

Seeing as you are a noob and may not fully grasp forum etiquette i would kindly suggest that perhaps in the future you should choose your words more wisely. Stating "android sucks" in an android forum isnt exactly the brightest thing to do my friend..im sure someone with such a great understanding of mobile OS would have been able to at least figure that out?

Yes i have 3 android devices... along with many others just like you but seeing as how this is an ANDROID FORUM I dont bother to comment on them here.

Let's recap, shall we? In a year, Windows Phone market share has grown from .8% to its current whopping 2%. 90% of Windows mobile devices are made by Nokia. Microsoft paid $5B to acquire Nokia after paying them a $1B annual "subsidy" wasn't sufficient for them to achieve profitability. Probably because mid and low end Windows Phones are the only ones that sell and margins are scant. The best selling Windows Phone is the Nokia 520. The only other serious Windows Phone partner was HTC but they're in the midst of their own fight to stay alive. Most recently MS offered Samsung $1B to join the Windows Phone party (sic). I love a David vs. Golliath story as much as anyone but based on the above and MS' history of botched strategy and execution I think I'll sit this one out.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] polish_pat:
I love my Note 3, best phone i've ever had and i've all the Galaxy S and an HTC One X. If i compare to my last phone, the S4, it's a much better version with updates specs and larger size + S Pen. Don't know of the issues were solved with the S4 but the Note 3 is also much more stable and has less annoying little kwerks. BUT, I do miss the size of the S4. The note is maybe slightly too large for me. I also dont use the S Pen except to show it off.

I will certainly swicth to the S5, i'm mostly excited about the OIS, i hope its included as i take a lot of pictures with my phone and bigger battery for smaller screen would have killer battery time. I also pray every single day samsung give us a sexy carbon fiber or aluminum phone. Samsung already make the most amazing phones on the planet, and yet they get so much ridicule about their choice to use plastic, which doesnt bother me, but it sure bother a lot of people. I think if Samsung switch their phones away from plastic, they will gain so much traction in converting iphone users and sammy critiques. I'm eager to say the S5 will be a true iphone killer, but it all depends on what they make of it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] piizzadude:
People complaining about knox really need to get over it. It will be there, it will show up on every phone and from every OEM.

The next big money maker is taking the business environment from blackberry and that is what Knox is for. Everyone is going to get in on that game.

That being said, I am in no way going to a S5. I doubt that they are going to go to 5.25, but no matter what I can never go backwards in screen size. All the numbers on my account are staggered so I see many new Note(s) in my future..

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
You guys that think some grumbling from enthusiasts about KNOX and Region Lock are going to change Samsung's thinking or direction are so naive. Region Lock affects many more people than the KNOX warranty indicator (how many of the masses even know what root is?) and its lack of communication and poor implementation caused it to make from page news in the tech media. Samsung's response? "It's here to say." As for KNOX, Samsung's retrofitting it to 2012 phones which certainly tells you their intended direction. Maybe some dev will figure out how to safely disable KNOX at some point but outside that KNOX is Samsung's "new world order." I'm not defending KNOX or Region Lock but people constantly *****ing about them isn't going to change a thing. Don't like Samsung's policies? Vote with your wallet and buy some other manufacturers phones.

you may be right about it, but what make me angry is that i brought a phone, and i cant use it like what i want and samsung burned efuse(if they said so) what is mine!!! you samsung said, if i rooted i will lose warrenty? it is so ridicurous, have you seem that losing warrenty when you dicided to use ubuntu in order of windows? there must have soft warenty and hard warenty, and knox is a great software i dont dout about it, but it must be an option, if i wanna to use this program then i need to to with samsung said, and then if i burn efuse, that is my problem. but not like this way, forcing user to have it and then burn user phone,who dont need knox for nothing(and cant uninstall it) without permission

I own note 3..but I dont have plans to buy any samsung smartphones in future becoz of knox..samsucks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung sucks at communication. They don't do enough of it and when they do it's pretty light and vague. People that bought the N3 when it was first released definitely have a right to be mad/frustrated. Region Lock and the KNOX warranty counter were sprung on them without warning and, had they known, may have caused them to not buy a N3. Anyone who buys a new Samsung phone today has fair warning. I think both "features" are self serving for Samsung and generally not consumer friendly. But it's Samsung's right to set policy. We as consumers have the right to voice our opinion by voting with our wallets. I'm sympathetic to people's frustrations but no one here short of a dev has the power to change anything. So the hundreds of posts about Samsung, KNOX, and Region Lock sucking are repetitive and just a waste of XDA's server space. And nothing to be said is going to be any different than what's already been said.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ixon2001:
Because of KNOX i think dev's will start to shy away from Samsung, both the S5 & Note 4 forums this year could become a very quiet place.

But Samsung is not the only one, LG has plans to do something similar to KNOX, and I've no doubt both Sony & HTC will also follow suite at some point aswell.

I think what hopefully will happen is Samsung ect will just keep releasing Google Edition of their handset's for people to tinker with & bring them to more markets other than just the US, while the mainstream handset's get locked down completely.

I would not get any phone with a resolution higher than 1080p. There is absolutely no reason it needs to get past 1080p. I wouldn't mind a slightly smaller pjone but definately not getting a Samsung again because of knox. My next phone would probably be a Sony.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] force70:
Complaining it makes us feel better.. Human nature lol.

Your exactly right though... It most certainly won't change anything.

That said Buying a device you know already has knox, region lock etc is one thing though. Samsung sending out updates implementing it on older devices then not allowing users to downgrade without voiding warranty is another. That is just plain sneaky and underhanded... Also another reason why I very rarely take OTA's.

And yes... The best way to voice our displeasure is going with another manufacturer. Which I think many of us may do, an S5 would have been a given for me to run out and buy on release day before Samsung started with all this silliness ... Now perhaps not.

So that thought still lead note 3 better than s5.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
It comes across sometimes as if I'm defending Samsung but I'm not. Getting KNOX rolled out isn't meant as punitive to people that like to tinker with their devices as much as it is to get a uniform security platform rolled out so that IT organizations will (theoretically) embrace Samsung as their go-to choice as a B2B smartphone source and to provide consistency in the BYOD space (EG: "you can use any Samsung phone on our network provided it's running Android 4.3 or higher"). Everyone on XDA assumes the eFuse warranty flag is aimed at enthusiasts. It may be a side benefit but its real purpose is as a security identifier that easily allows smart networks to detect a tampered device that's trying to connect. Enthusiasts (us) make up less than 5% of the smartphone market whereas B2B/BYOD makes up 20% and is growing steadily (especially with BB dying). So, at least to me, KNOX is more about gaining new business than cutting warranty repair costs on less than 5% of the market that could tinker with and harm their phones costing Samsung unnecessary warranty expense. Given the choice between growing their lucrative B2B/BYOD business and potentially alienating a small group of enthusiasts Samsung chose the latter.

This is from someone on the N10.1-14 forum that's in corporate IT and wrote to the KNOX group at Samsung asking about warranty support on a device with a tripped KNOX flag. It doesn't say "you're warranty is automatically void." In fact, has anyone seen a case reported where Samsung's denied a legitimate repair (EG: defective screen, bad headphone jack, dead USB port) specifically because the KNOX flag was tripped?
