[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
The Note 3 is the best phone I've ever had. The fact I got it with the original software meant it was easily rootable via RDLV.

If I were to buy one today, it would most likely come with one of the later firmwares which might not be rootable with RDLV (the only rooting solution I would use), so this might affect my decision to purchase one.

Unfortunately for me, my Note 3 was hardbricked so ive had to send it off to be repaired by Samsung. This means it will come back to me with the very latest firmware on it and thus will not be rootable with RDLV.

Basically, I would only like a Note 3 with a RDLV rootable software on it. Which ive not got now :(

Today? Like right now, No! I certainly won't because battery Life got ALOT WORSE. But If that was not the case and battery life was awesom like it was on the earliest builds, then! I would say Yes! Yes! :D

There's nothing out to choose from yet. I know that I use the spen so there's no other alternatives. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

So, yes I would buy it again :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sardonik:
As of today, I might be tempted to wait and see how the S5 looks at the beginning of Feb. I'd probably still buy the N3, but I never make a decision without overthinking it. Honestly, its a small miracle I managed to pull the trigger on the N3. There always seems to be something shiny just down the road....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I got mine a week ago - battery life even out of the box was pretty damn good. Since rooting and adding Greenify and stripping bloatware it is even better. I've had a fairly busy messaging day and I'm on 77% after 20+ hours.I'm averaging about 1 hour per 1%, so that would be a 4 day battery.

Better than I was getting on my S3 and I was very pleased with battery on that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
Out of the Box, battery live is Unbelievable. Update your phone to any firmware after MJ7 and see how BAD it will get. Try it! :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaggythistle:
Definetly

Without a doubt! Even with knox, I have had well almost every brand of phone ever made including the not allowed to speak about iPhone 3g,4s and now 5s I buy them just cause I love mobile's in case anyone is wondering wtf! I'm not bragging just trying to explain my experience with device's and until now i've always been satisfied, well mostly with all my phones but the Note 3 has blew me away it has it's little issues like every phone but this monster of a phone is just amazing, I never had anything even close to it just in performance & functionality, I just can't think of any problems big enough to point out other than Knox but I have know doubt the genius devs here at xda will get around it. No matter how smart they think they are at these software development companies there's always someone smarter here at XDA all ready working on a workaround for every road block they throw up! The Devs here are just unbelievable with the things they accomplish they deserve everyone's utmost respect and gratitude cause without them we would still be being told what we want!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa12222:
Heck yeah! No other phone I've owned has the battery life to even tickle my N3. I do wish the camera to be better under lowlight (maybe with OIS). Else, its perfect!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XiphoneUzer:
How did you debloat it, I would like to do the same. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobturismo:
All of my phones have been touch screen with a stylus, starting with the Treo 300 to the 650 I think? Going through the HTC sliders, 6500ppc, touch pro 2. The first phone after those that didn't use a stylus was the epic 4G touch/SII.

I was afraid that I would miss having a keyboard, but after trying swype, I was willing to sacrifice for a larger screen and more capability.

I used to carry a small Dell laptop around with me everywhere, a 710m. For it's age and having a DVD drive, it's quite small. 12.1" screen, monitor connector, s video out, wi-fi. Pretty bad-ass for 10 years ago. Once I got the S2, rarely did I need to use the laptop.

But there was still some internet surfing/website compatibility issues with the S2, rooted and doing workarounds it was an awesome phone.

I was hoping and that the Note 3 was going to be good enough to not need root, which it's a good phone, but I can't leave well enough alone. Just like my cars I have to modify it to my liking. I used the N3 unrooted for this whole time and it was fine, but I need to use my rooted apps and I need to tether once in a blue moon. (For my friends that have iphones and need to use their laptops :lol:).

Would I buy it again? Absolutely.

Did I expect to root and modify it before I was completely happy? Absolutely.

I understand where most apple users come from, these phones lack the refinement and issues that the uniformity of apple products eliminates. But that's where the android has the ability to shine, it's ability to be shaped and molded to whatever anyone wants.

There was big concern for me, going from "windows mobile" (no, not "windows phone") to android, but once I saw the flexibility and support android had as a whole, I took the leap.

I see the Note 3 as two separate things, just the same as I look at cars. It's power-train and it's ability to be modified to what I want.

The Note 3 has one of the most powerful power-trains out right now, sure the software isn't the best, but I can change that, what I can't change is the hardware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midmadn:
It's not the phones fault. You must have a rogue app draining it. I did. My battery went from awesome to horrendous. I did a factory reset and it went back to awesome.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
If you charge your phone full, and lock it bedside drawer. It will stay on for a week! :p

BottomLine - Screen On time is what matters. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Yeah, well... I don't lock my phone in a drawer, it gets used, even if it isn't the heavy use of someone watching videos. BT and Wifi are always on, GPS only when needed.

I'm quite happy with my MK1 battery life (the comment was about update and lose battery - didn't happen in my case, instead I got an improvement over the out-of-the-box battery use) so maybe the issue isn't the version but the apps etc that are draining the battery. I've debloated and greenified and getting better time with this than I did with my S3 - it was about a 3 day battery life.
[Sony Xperia M] Cassius Away:
Hello there!

I bought my xperia m 10 days ago, and i am pleased so far, except for one thing..

I noticed yesterday that the removable cover has started creaking, especially on the side with no buttons where the usb port is.

Has anyone else noticed that with their device? Is this something that inevitably happens after a while, or should i try to get it replaced because of a defect?
[Sony Xperia M] Antrikos48:
Yes, it started happening a few days after I bought or... If it happens to others too, I'll assume it's inevitable

This message was brought to you from my Sony Xperia M C1905 using Tapatalk.
[Sony Xperia M] Cassius Away:
Hmm I see..

Well I thought I'd ask because if it is something that is going to happen anyway, i will not bother taking it to the store.

They will have to send the phone to the service center and all that fuss just to replace the back cover, so it is not worth it.

If someone else can also confirm that this is the case with their phone I will be assured.
[Sony Xperia M] Gyrxiur:
My phone also makes noises when pushed, most at top right and bottom left corners.
[Sony Xperia M] Cassius Away:
Well I take it there is nothing I can do about it then, so no point in returning it, I will have to live with it...

It is a shame though, because other than that the phone is outstanding in terms of value, I see no reason to spend any more that what I spent on this. It hits the sweet spot for me in the price/performance scale.
[Sony Xperia M] Cassius Away:
Has anyone found any solution to this problem?

I have tried putting little pieces of paper at the hotspots (bottom left and below the usb port in my case) but I had little success...

I am also curious to hear reports from others, maybe a silicon case can lessen the issue...
[Sony Xperia M] Gyrxiur:
I have silicone case, it is the same. I am thinking about using thin layer of hotglue. It can be peeled of easily.
[Sony Xperia M] Cassius Away:
After some experimenting I found that putting a small piece of paper (3mm tall and about 3cm long) between the phone and the cover eliminated the major creaks that where in the lower-middle left side of my phone. I just folded a piece of printer paper in two and cut it to the above dimensions. If you try it make sure to put it in a way that does not block the small plastic clips that clip on the phone.

hltespr for note 3??

This might be a stupid question but ..why is the Sprint note 3 referred to as the hltespr? This thread refers to the Note 3 as such, as well as noobnle's official CM port. I went to Philz CWM download page and I did see hltespr, though it said nothing about the Note 3. I thought that devs refereed to devices by the model number, so I would think it would be callled N900P??. When I had the Epic Touch I always looked for D710, and I was certain I had the right file cause it was the model number. Sorry if this is a stupid question, im just afraid of downloading the wrong files, and ending up with a brick. :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Preliminary Results...

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION], we have some early results. Our n-size is low, so I would recommend using this only on a directional basis.

At the moment, it looks like your recovery tool is 10x f'n greater than just f'n great. Again, these are preliminary, but they look quite good.

Others using this tool, please take the survey, as I wish to provide this awesome dev that for which he impatiently awaits, so we need a higher sample size.

Remember, we wish to magnitude of f'ng in relation to awesomeness.

[As previously noted, please refrain from negative comments about tools that others have worked hard to provide this community.]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MattMatt0240:
That is the device's code name (device's board name). Every device has one, the Note 3 is the general name for our device. But as there are multiple variants of the note 3 (Verizon, at&t, developer editions, etc...) and most other devices, this "code name" is a more precise means of identifying which actual device it is.

Noted to self thrice via tapatalk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Phil3759:
I appreciate your words

However, I think starting comparison between recoveries in a dev thread is not a good idea and not allowed. It should go in General section.

Each recovery has its up and downs. Some are better for specific devices, others for specific roms/needs, some are faster for specific hardware, others slower... A comparison should include those elements not some subjective statements that depend on user tastes.

Also, I prefer that people report bugs, provide logs on issues, missing features...

You can also report about a working feature you tested if you think it is important and interesting (nandroid under specific roms...)

Take a look at this example:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49102572&postcount=2910

That's something useful for users and the dev

I ask ALL to stop comparing and report their tastes

Keep it a dev thread

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Pardon my simplistic question but I will ask it anyway:

Is there any FUNCTIONAL difference between using this recovery and TWRP? I'm usually of the mindset that if it ain't broke don't try to fix it. Just want to know if there are any features that this has that may entice a content TWRP user.

Also, is it safe to say that backups made using TWRP cannot be used by Phil's and vice versa

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KEYofR:
It does??

I've been trying to convince a twrp guy to add at least some kind of hack similar to openrecoveryscript, or a slight enhancement to open recovery script, so I can insert my own script that twrp will run. Open recovery script is no good for this because it's a single static file name that too many other things overwrite. On top of that the date command does not actually work on twrp 2.6.3.7 for setting the system time. Forget writing rtc that is blocked in kernel code for apoarently good reason, I mean it can't even set the regular transient system time. If the date command worked, and if I could get a script of my own executed, I had several simple ideas for setting the system time to at least the shutdown time. That would be good enough for backup and log filenames. But this would be great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KEYofR:
I can't get it to boot. I tried flashing the hltespr zip from twrp 2.6.3.7, I tried flashing the zip from flashify app, I tried flashing the tar.md5 from flashify app. mobile odin pro supports this device on 4.3 but says it doesn't support kk 4.4 on this device so I didn't risk it. I tried extracting recovery.img from the zip and flashing just the recovery.img with flashify app. I'm about to try using dd in a terminal.

So far it always boots to the galaxy note 3 logo and a couple messages from the bootloader on top about booting recovery and warranty bit recovery. But it just hangs there.

I'm running cm11 nightly from jan 29. bootloader should be the one from MJ4 which was installed when I got it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Phil3759:
Read OP and stick to version for your bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KEYofR:
The OP doesn't say in any unambiguous way I found.

I'm using kitkat 4.4 in the form of cyanogenmod 11, but I don't *think* I'm running a "kitkat bootloader". Then again I don't see any way to tell the version of the bootloader. I think the bootloader is whatever is in the MJ4 stock sprint note 3 touchwiz rom.

I was trying philz_touch-6.12.9-hltespr.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Phil3759:
Use the version for your

old

bootloader, pre-6.12.9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KEYofR:
Thanks, 6.12.8 works

The op does NOT say that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Phil3759:
And what does it say?

This is not clear:

There is a FAQ and General sections for each device to know those info
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KEYofR:
We can both read the same thing. It does not say, or even imply, that the latest version will not work on an older bootloader. I only says that an older version will not work on a newer bootloader. The one in NO way implies the other. If that's the case, that needs to be stated.

One of the highways near me splits into two roads, and one side says "cars only". That in no way implies that cars can't go on the other side. It only says that trucks can't go one one side.

Don't pretend to be a coder who does not to know this much logic.

And I see that the date is 1970 in 6.12.8 just as it is in twrp.

Is this date/time thing only in 6.12.9?
