[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yandexrhino:
Watching movies is a habit of mine. I like the theme of boxing, war and technology. Just like the Hunger Games it will only be activated to high-quality by a large screen. But the question is, it's impossible for us to go to the cinema everyday. I thought about watching the movies on TV screen. Lately the idea of purchasing a miracast dongle to realize my dream. Some friends suggest me to purchase a Chromecast that with a simple press of a button on my phone, the movie will show on the TV screen. If you set up a web server and sent the URL to content on that server to your Chromecast, it will play it. Now i don't know the price of Chromecast but feel cheap about this, a similar dongle. I wonder if it is relevant to Netflix and support the apps which Google support at the same time. I really don't know which is better and hope the masters could help me. Thank you!!!

Miracast is portable for you with a great functional. High visual you'll get if you use it. Just remote by your smartphone is okay.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxrichievxxx:
Not too sure if this is on the screen protector its self but I just noticed that my screen has a white "ghost" looking spot on the screen. It doesn't show on the screen unless I tilt the phone a certain way and it will only show up unless I'm holding in a certain way and when the screen is all black, for example on the LG logo.

Has this happened before to anyone before or do you think it's just my screen protector? (I'm scared to take it off because it's in the middle of the screen and if I do mess up the screen protector it would have been a huge waste of $ because the SP is expensive [special protector from japan])

(It seems like the white ghost only shows up in a black screen, other colors are fine and the spot does not show?)

Thanks! :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefanakii:
Wow I didn't know anyone else had this. I noticed I have this spot on my screen and it's seems like it's a bugged pixel or smthing. It's not from the screen protector.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxrichievxxx:
The weird thing on mine when I use a dead pixel fixing app from the market and I change the colour to like red or green or any colour that isn't black the white spot doesn't show at all. But when I switch to a black colour I can see the spot.

Does this happen to you?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] replyme:
İ have same problem as this description. İ can see the ghost spot brigt black colour.. Anyone knows what is it
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowEO:
I have it too, however I don't see it during normal operation so it doesn't bug me that much. With how big it is though, I don't believe it to be a pixel. Possible defect in the screens maybe?

Hi all,

searching for "locklevel" accross this forum did not give any result so maybe it may help to find a solution:

Since a view days i have the "backlight issue" (reseting to 7 seconds batterytimeout after standby) on my xda neo,WM5 AKU 2.0.

Changing values in registry i noticed an entry

HKCU\Controlpanel\Backlight\LockLevel. In there is a DWORD VALUE called LockLevel which had DEC Value "1" .

Changing this Value to "0" BatteryTimeout Values are kept after Standby until doing a Softreset. After Softreset LockLevel-Value ist set back to "1".

Searching for "Locklevel" using google did not bring up any result.

Maybe someone in this forum has any knowledge about this entry.

Thanks

Hi.

My Sony Xperia c6603 has been acting very weird recently, it will not let me activate WiFi nor Bluetooth.

If I use the slide function to activate Wifi och Bluetooth, it fades and turns to a lighter blue, but it just says "Activating".

I tried to repair my Xperia via the Update manager and the PC manager, aswell as the factory reset function on the phone.

I spent about 3 hours looking for a solution, yet nothing has been working. Is there any known error AND a fix for it ?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
I bought the n9005 note 3 yesterday and, coming from an ancient nexus s, I AM IN LOVE! I don't even need a tablet anymore, this thing is absolutely gorgeous. But i usually keep the phones I buy for 2-3 years and I want the best thing available. So, how much better will the s5 be in terms of performance? I already use this phone in power saving mode all the time and like I said, it is flying. I don't think I can ever go to a smaller screen size now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Note series can't be compared with S series.

But so far to my observation, Note series is always have much improvement from the S-series. You can see since S2 vs. Note 1, S3 vs. Note 2, and the latest one S4 vs Note 3.

Note 1 is the improvement of S2 (design, software, hardware), same with Note 2 and Note 3.

Whichever features you see on the S series, Note series most probably will have also.

The latest one Note 3, it gets all the S4 features, plus additional Air command, because we have the S-pen. :)

So if you want to compare, don't compare Note 3 with S5. compare it with next release Note 4.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thahim:
[MENTION=1963893]antique_sonic[/MENTION] no note is much better then s4. I have both of them the speed and screen quality on note is much higher. I think he wants a comparision in specs and speed. And note 3 is a phone today which I think will support all latest apps till 1 or 2 years.

The S5 is all hype and nothing useful apart from being waterproof in case you're planning to drop your phone in the toilet. And all you get from that waterproofing is a car kit headache.

No 32gb model in most markets. No 3gb RAM either. I just bought the Note 3 because the above plus the stylus and the lower price at much more attractive!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
o yeah. agree. The stylus S-pen make it more sexy and useful compare to S-series :p

hahihauhehehahehehoha.

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

agree. The speed is much higher on Note series compare to S series. :good:

and to be frank, everything is much better than S-series (at least from what I feel).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The Note 3 is still ahead in terms of hardware compared to the S5. All the S5 has is that it's waterproof (There are cases for that, or Liquipel will add a waterproof coating if you're in the US), and a heart rate scanner (There are apps for the Note 3 that are accurate and use the camera flash.)

In return, the Note 3 has

3GB RAM(S5=2GB),

An Spen,

5.7" screen (S5=5.1"),

3200Mah battery (S5=2800),

32 and 64GB ROM (S5=16&32, and we all know the 32GB is going to be impossible to buy. As usual.)

In my personal opinion (as a designer) it looks better,

Better optimized for productive usage (Action menu, popup windows, multiscreen.)

And it costs less.

If the S5 had been what it had been rumoured to be, it would be worth considering an S5. As it turns out, no such thing.

The S5 is a dressed down Note 3. Don't waste your money on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancelotSA:
If I may... you are all surely being a little biased in saying that the Note 3 is "ahead of the S5 in hardware" and the "S5 is all hype" and in doing so completely overlook things like the Snapdragon 801 vs 800 and the improved camera (not only the extra MP but the new ISOCELL tech). The new processor, together with the smaller screen, may negate the smaller battery. As regards the S-Pen, I have heard from more than one person that after the novelty of the first few weeks the pen just stays in place and is rarely used. Wireless charging has not yet become a must have but having not tried it yet myself I'm intrigued to do so. Does the Note have that too?

And this is not coming from someone who owns a Note 3 and is trying to defend it. I am currently making the choice between the two at the moment as an upgrade to my S3 and do not see it being as clear cut as some above make it out to be. The only thing that really has me favouring the Note 3 is the 3GB RAM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny1991:
S5 is just so ugly and it looks like a plaster.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Yes, the Note 3 has an available official wireless charging back cover and kit. Even the S4 has it.

The additional megapixels and the ISOCELL technology is going to do sod all on a 1/2.6'' sensor... Bandages on an open wound.

The 801 might be a tiny improvement (of the 'Apple-policy' variety) , but it's going to be bottlenecked by the 2GB RAM.

As for the Spen, many of us do use it every day.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancelotSA:
As mentioned I'm still deciding which to get so like to think I'm being unbiased but, with all respect, you're sounding like a fanboy. The reason I say this is your wording (tiny improvement when Anandtech talks about faster Web page and application loads - real world benefits) and your failure to note the increased sensor size when dismissing the upgraded camera, even after mentioning sensor size yourself (1/3.06" vs 1/2.6" )

All of these might be "small" but they are improvements and no smaller than the benefits of the Note 3 that were pointed out.

I found this of interest. We'll need to argue about whether 22% is many or some: http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-often-do-you-use-the-S-Pen-stylus-of-your-Galaxy-Note-3_id53572

The big negative of both, and the thing that would have been the clincher for me, is no OIS on either of their flagship devices. Shocking from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I just checked, no bloke bits here. ;)

I do not call 0.2Ghz an improvement. It's the same thing Apple has been doing with their iPhones, adding 0.1 or 0.2 ghz and saying it loads faster.

Benchmarks are rarely accurate in real-life useage. (theyre fun, but not useful) In real-life usage, with several apps open at once, it will not be the case as you run out of RAM fast.

The Note 3 has 2.71GB of useable RAM, with facebook, whatsapp, tapatalk, firefox and a mediaplayer open, even with Apex instead of TW, and all bloatware gone, it's using exactly 2GB.

What do you think will happen if you try that on an S5 with 2GB RAM(usable around 1.7GB, most likely) ? Any gamer, Dev, ITer and techie can tell you loads of Ghz are going to do sod all if you're out of RAM.

And it's certainty not worth 2-300 quid extra!

I did not 'fail to notice' the sensor size. The difference is simply negligible if you know your photography. It's my profession, I know my photography hardware inside out.

Sounds more to me like you've long since made up your mind. No offence, but claiming two negligible babysteps as 'improvements' is more something I would expect from an apple user.

Talking pure money vs value, which is what I was doing, the S5 is simply more money for something you can get for less.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancelotSA:
As far as I am aware fanboy is a sexless term.

I realise you're a self professed expert in all fields but any increase in sensor size is an improvement and at these levels that is a decent improvement. But that doesn't matter in the slightest, it has a larger sensor. Argument over.

Both phones are likely to be on contract at the same price in my country. If not, then price will become a factor. At the moment it's not, I'm assuming the same price.

Do you own a Note 3? I think that answer will say a lot about what is happening here. I own neither. Even if I've "made my mind up" about the S5 I can change my mind...

I mentioned my old Nokia's elsewhere and this is why I miss them. Even the N95 back in 2007 had a 1/2.5" sensor!

That is so bloody typical. Someone makes a comment coming from their own area of expertise and the immediate response is "Oh you're so bloody smart, you know everything!".

Shall I simply state wikipedia as a source from now on? As it would seem that causes a less childish reaction.

I think you will find the comments of the other users more than sufficient regarding 'what is happening here'.

I own a Note 3, yes. Something one could easily have worked out from my signature, which says so in every post I make..

I also own an S4, S3, S2, Note 2 and several other Samsung and non-Samsung devices. What is your point?

"But that doesn't matter in the slightest, it has a larger sensor. Argument over. " Equals "My car is three centimeters larger than yours. It has a lesser engine and a smaller tank, but it's bigger so it's better." :rolleyes:

By your logic, the Note 3 is bigger than the S5, so surely it must be superior, 'argument over'?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Who cares if it loads websites faster? You can see more of the website on the Note 3 screen. The advantage is neutered.

I'm no fan boy either. I've owned a dozen smart phones in the last four years, including s3, note 2, s4, all the nexus phones starting with the nexus one, three HTC phones and a couple of Xperias.

Of all these the only one that compares to the Note 3 is the Note 2. Samsung have hit the perfect size with this series. It's (just) small enough to still fit in (most) pockets and just big enough to make certain tasks that are painful on lesser phones tolerable.

What the OP said is correct - you don't even really need a tablet if you have one of these. I still have one but I may sell it as I only use it once a week if I'm lucky. Samsung envisioned this device as a bridge between tablets and phones and in my opinion they have very much succeeded. If you think the note 3 is a hassle to carry around, it's not. Try carrying around a tablet if you want to experience hassle.

I use the pen just about every day. I jot down notes at work and it saves me carrying around a note pad.

The camera on the s5 is still just a phone camera. It may be better than the Note 3 but you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between photos taken with each device just by looking at them.

Slightly better processor true but less ram and less Internal storage, at least for most people who won't be lucky or smart enough to get a 32Gb model. The note 3 is already so overpowered that it will be good for at least the next two years. Just like the camera no one will be able to tell the difference in normal use.

So the only distinction worth weighing up is this: do you want waterproof and more pocketable or do you want a borderline tablet experience with an active stylus?

I'll take the latter myself as it fits my pockets and I've not thrown it into a pond yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancelotSA:
You have no idea of my expertise. I was not the one childish enough to attempt to "win" a discussion by whipping out my credentials.

Actually not at all. I am in the Note 3 section of this forum, I'd expect nothing less than rabid fanboyism. One hundred lemmings marching into the sea does not prove much...

You better have a word with the designers of the Tapatalk app then as sadly your signature does not appear when I browse the site on there. I would've assumed you knew that a world existed outside of PC web browser access to this forum.

My point is that, based on vast personal experience on the subject, owner's of a certain cellphone always feel the need to convince others that they have the absolute ultimate best cellphone. This does not apply to their previous cellphones (so your ownership history means little) as the newest device trumps all in their opinion.

Let's recap shall we. I mentioned a superior camera on the S5. You wisely pointed out that pixels alone mean little and asserted that the S5 camera was not superior. I concurred regarding pixels alone and pointed out that it not only has more pixels but a larger sensor too. You then suddenly claimed the sensor size difference was negligible. I am still intrigued to hear you explain why you feel any increase in sensor size can be regarded as negligible. As an expert on photography surely you concede that sensor size is possibly one of the more important aspects of better image creation. But I will happily allow you to explain why you feel this is not the case....

You may also care to give a definitive answer on what percentage sensor size increase we are dealing with as I have an idea it is not linear.

I already conceded the Note 3 wins the bigger screen battle and have not argued this. You, however, still feel the need to argue that the S5 camera has no advantages over the Note 3.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

You cannot state an opinion as fact. For many anything bigger than 4.5" is too big. Perfect for you is not perfect for the whole world.

By the way, I love the bigger screen too. My current choice needs to be based on more than just screen size alone though which is why I am happy to discuss the advantages of each device. I am not of the school of thought that the Note 3 wins in all regards, however, otherwise I'd obviously not be having to choose. I'd have a Note 3 already. My contract upgrade was due from 1 March.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Yawn. Only a retard would be unable to recognise what I wrote as opinion and not fact. Though it's interesting that most of the people who think the Note is too big have never actuality used one. I used to think it was too big and then my friend convinced me if the merits. I tried going back to a smaller phone a couple of times and I can't live with it anymore.

That's not just my opinion either. I've seen several reviewers also state that they thought the phone was too big until they actually used one for a couple of weeks.

Anyway I think you're trolling so enjoy the rest of the discussion.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancelotSA:
Pointless engaging you then isn't it...

When push comes to shove it seems most Note 3 owners have a huge problem with the perceived superiority of their beloved devices being questioned. Maybe this is reason enough for me not to own one. But then again I suppose you'll have "retard" S5 owners who will end up doing the same....

Trolling? If anything I am the only one engaging in this thread in the manner in which the thread title seemingly requested. For the rest it seems like a Note 3 fap fest whereas I am actually trying to discuss which is better and in what respects. Although I suppose I should've realised what was coming when the thread title asked the question but the first post went on to express idol worship for the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
I agree on the part that the size of Note series is just nice as a bridge between phone and tablet.

I used S1 & S2. Then change to Note 1, I love it. When S3 came out, I still bought the S3, coz sometimes I feel that small phone better. But I use it for 1 week, then I let it go. Not because I have money to throw, but, I find it no use to compare with Note 1 which I still own at that time. And then again I change my Note 1 to Note 2. At the same time I bought Note 10.1, coz I thought it would be better to have a bigger screen for work purpose. End up, I always used my Note 2 everyday at work, and my tablet I use it when it is lucky to be used (end up I always need to charge it every 3 days, and leave it dry up again for another 3 days), and most of the time, this tablet will stay sleep inside my bag. With a 1 week only 1 time usage, I decided to sell my Note 10.1 when the Note 3 come out.

And to be frank, this Note series the size is just nice. Not as big as tablet 7" to put inside the pants pocket. And frankly, I can't stand see the smaller size screen again. Nicer to view internet browser on a bigger screen, even if the size of the page is too big for 1 page, you don't need to zoom out until the wording is very small. :)

Whether this one opinion or facts, I only see all my friends, who has upgraded their S-series, Iphone series into Note 2, now all of them said "those phone are too small", which earlier before they use the Note series, all of them said "you are crazy to ask me to carry such big phone!"

:)

and now all of them are planning to buy Note 3 when they can recontract in this year, without thinking of other phones.

But again, no offense, but someone is asking a comparison of Note 3 vs S5 on the Note 3 forums. I bet that person roughly should know what the answer is :D

Same thing if someone is asking comparison of Note 3 vs S5 (if this phone has been launched in every countries), I also bet that person roughly know what the answer will be.

Unless.... the phone is really s*cks to the end till no one love it. :p
