Any chance you can show us the seller who had the japanese batteries? I think I've only tried the chinese ones thus far and they have varied between good and not good.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] davidf9:
I bought it over a year ago, and by the looks of it the vendor doesn't have them anymore. http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/elifegizmo?_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754

Originally I looked for the ones that have photos that say "made in Japan" on the basis that then I would have a sound basis for returning them if they weren't! I've done a quick search now, and quite a few don't have photos, or say "made in China", but these two both say "Japan":

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gold-2450...154?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c3549b8ba

No warranty from me of course...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
Thanks so much, I'll give one of these a try :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] davidf9:
Not sure whether they're truly 2540mAh by the way - battery monitor doesn't think so. But they're much better than the stock battery, and don't cut out in the same way, so for me they've been a major step forward.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
Yea I doubt they're much more capacity than what the stock battery reports (if at all), but fresh batteries can make a huge difference over a year old one.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
David,

I think I'm finally getting that. I took my processor speed down one notch to 1458MHz. Everything is working out so far. Is there a lower speed you would recommend for this issue, or is 1458MHz sufficient?

Hoping the random shutdowns are battery related anyway ...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] davidf9:
Actually I always use the frequency HTC shipped it with originally in Gingerbread - 1296. I've never noticed much difference in response in real life use, and the battery drain is so much lower so I get much better life. There's also a couple of threads around around suggesting that the really low bottom frequencies might be why some phones have wake-up problems. I've not seen those, but I tend to turn the bottom frequency back up to 192 as well. I really appreciate the options the devs have given us, I just choose not to use them...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
Now Running Anker ...

Update ...

Even after changing the frequencies to 1296/192mHz, I was still having problems with the random shutdowns, although they happened less often. I put the EZO battery I had at the beginning of the thread back in, and that alleviated the problem. So I am just dealing with an exhausted battery.

I think that was justification enough to try the Anker. $26 CDN (and a week and a half) later, Amazon delivered and I swapped out batteries. I am now on day two, and after a full charge last night, it has been 11 hours at light/moderate use and I'm still at 84% battery life. I am doing very well I think, since with the EZO I would be down to 60-some percent in the same amount of time. I don't think I'll even bother with the charger tonight (should last all day tomorrow as well). Probably a good idea since you only get 500 good charges with the batteries anyways.

I even tested the camera, no shutdowns there (although the real test would be when the power is below 50%).

Leaving the frequencies as they are, no need to stress the device (and battery), for a little extra speed that I wouldn't really notice.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] davidf9:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] begimaad:
the s pen has been provided with extra leads to use. i wore off the tip of my spen and replaced it. To my surprise i found out the original tip is of rubber while the rest of hard plastic.

it doesnt feel the same..

disappointed :thumbdown:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] netnerd:
does the stylus have build-in battery?

when you put the stylus near the screen, there' a dot on the screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
The plastic tips feel much better on a tempered glass screen protector than the rubber ones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hecksagon:
Actually the pen is powered by an electrical field generated by the phone. The electrical field is also used to determine pen position. Pen contact is determined by the pressure placed on the point of the pen. To prove this, take out the pen and open action note. Hover above the screen and then press the tip with your finger instead of the screen. You will still place marks on the screen. This shows that the screen does not interact with the pen in any way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chocu1a:
Actually, there are both hard plastic & rubber tips included. You can tell the difference between the two if you look closely
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] begimaad:
if this is true..

thanks a lot mate..

let me check.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

edit:sorry just checked.. not all of my spare ones are of hard plastic..

checked each one on the screen..they all feel the same..and hard. not like the original one.

tip: everyone out there dont clean you note 3 with the stylus. i used to take dust off the corners of screen or the speaker are using the original rubber lead..and it wore off.. and i regret it. you all take care
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bertmansk:
wow thanks i didn't know my extras were of rubber AND plastic. my default one was rubber and it didn't glide as well as i wanted it to (at least on my ebay tempered glass protector). i changed it out for a plastic one and now it's perfect (if anything, too slippery). now i have 1 extra plastic, and 4 rubbers.

OP, try to double check your extras... the plastic tips are even shinier than the rubbers, so you can visually see the difference with a good eye.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Face_Plant:
I had no idea that it came with plastic tips. I popped one in and the pen is much more enjoyable to use now. Plus there's no more sticky streak marks on my screen from the rubber tip wearing away.

In glad I saw this thread.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brsingr:
just checked my spare tips. 2 plastic and 3 rubber + 1 rubber(original)....seems a bit much on the rubber ones lol..but im guessing they do wear out faster

the plastic ones feel alot...nicer on the screen than the rubber ones lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chase.XDA:
Does anyone know where to buy replacement plastic tips? I checked the box and can't find my replacement ones. I've searched and the only option I found was buying a brand new S Pen + the tips for around ~$20. My current rubber tip is almost completely worn out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brsingr:
no longer valid links

only ones I've found so far after a couple hours of searching

seller says they are all hard plastic in a question posted at the bottom of the black page
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chase.XDA:
Thanks!

Edit: One of my friends found their replacement tips and was gave me some.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jamesmuking5:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
Don't let it get to you, it isn't like you started a new thread to ask about it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] miguelfp1:
wow, I've had my phone since October 4th, and hadn't even noticed that there are both plastic and rubber-tipped replacement nibs in the box! the plastic one is much smoother when using a tempered glass screen protector, so I swapped out the one that originally came installed.

thanks for the post !
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] begimaad:
ohh..

everyone has plastic and rubber tips?

mine only has plastic replacements, i find the rubber one better on my simple diamond screen protector.

I also tried each and every tip, they are all plastic.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Blaqhawk:
The user lordazoroth originally posted this method here in the T-Mobile SGSIII forum. However, I have confirmed that it works with the Note 3 (at least with the Verizon variant) with one small difference. Feel free to give us both a "THANKS" if this helped you out.

You can disable the OTA Update notification by following the steps below. Just be aware that there is a small change in STEP #3.

Solution:

Step 1. Delete the update located in /cache/fota/ (may be /data/fota) and then click the update notification prompt to install it, it will instantly fail and the notification will disappear. (My phone rebooted and tried to install the update - this is the point where my Note 3 gave the update failed notification. I just rebooted the phone and went to STEP #2.)

Step 2. Disable otacerts.zip located in /etc/security by renaming it to otacerts.zip.bak

Step 3. Disable FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk by renaming with .bak extensions located in /system/app/

Step 4. Reboot

(NOTE: The difference in STEP #3 for the Galaxy Note 3 is that the [FotaClient.apk] is named [LocalFotaClient.apk] instead of just [FotaClient.apk]. All of the other steps are the same.

Continue running JB 4.3 and enjoy your Note 3 without that nagging update notification!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BlastTyrantKM:
But the kitkat update is awesome... so you might want to reconsider doing this
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lmike6453:
Wouldn't just freezing the "SDM" app do the trick? And possibly "FWUpgrade", although i heard that just SDM works
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Grompy:
You're right. Freezing just sdm would do the trick lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TMFGO45:
Say I'm not using TiBu. Can I use root explore to change something with sdm or should I just do what was originally posted?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] boamuro:
I got the annoying OTA update today... I DON'T WANT TO UPDATE!!! Why can't they give us an option instead of forcing it down our throats?

Is there any way to disable the update WITHOUT ROOTING? I read everywhere you need ROOT ACCESS to delete the SDM.apk FILE and such. I can't delete it without root.

How can I get rid of the annoying update WITHOUT ROOTING or what is the easiest way to gain root without wiping out everything and starting over?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
No way of knowing how far it got. If it was able to get the bootloader nailed in...yes. Screwed. Welcome to kk. If not, whatever you do will wipe at this point.

Safest bet to try and see if you can retain jb is with odin...if it lets you. If it does, great. If it doesn't, you still need odin because you just interrupted a firmware update and probably just soft bricked your phone. So you'll need odin to put kk on your phone.

--

If niether of these things look good, they aren't. So try this first. Try booting to recovery. If you can, it's possible you just saved yourself from learning to use odin. Do a factory reset and reboot. See if it boots to jb. If it does, root asap. If not (it just hangs forever or loops), you're bricked. Try to odin jb. If it keeps failing, you're stuck with kk and you need to odin kk.

If you can't get to recovery and just hangs or loops, odin jb or kk. Whichever it lets you.

If it doesn't let you boot to recovery because it continues to upgrade, at this point let it. This is the ONLY possible scenario that you will keep anything.

Mind you, everything I just covered will never touch any files on external sd memory.

This is a lot to process. So take your time. Good luck!

Odin tutorials are in the general section.

So can I still DOWNGRADE to Jellybean and be rooted? or did Verizon LOCK or restrict stuff with the update? Can I go back to Jellybean keeping all my files?

I still have SuperSU but no longer functions it says "There isn o SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Blaqhawk:
Okay, I know there has been some activity here since my original post so I wanted to provide an update.

Another (new member) contacted me a few days ago and asked me to post this:

Hey I'm not new to the site but can't post anything because I was mainly here to gather info on rooting my droid x2 years ago. I now have the note 3 and have been trying to post but I didn't seem to be allowed. I was hoping I could email this to you and you post it on your recent thread to help people.

In getting rid of the Update notification while being stock and not rooted I have found a way to make it disappear so far for me.

Long press the home button and go to task manager then a green SDM icon will say its running. Close out of it and the notification goes away.

Was hoping this could help people out who like me don't want to update. Personally I like FoxFi and the colored icons. All the same color seems to bland. I like seeing my battery change and the little sending/receiving arrows light up.

-Matthew (Shadowstrike099)

I responded with this:

Yep, I found that out last night. However, every time I stopped the app, it restarted itself so I had to freeze it with Titanium Backup (requires Root). I'll try to remember to post it when I get some time though. Thanks!

Adam

However, I think the latter (Freezing the SDM) app with TiBackup did the trick. As a side note, I've noticed that one of my actions above has somehow affected my ability to update apps in the Google Play store. I'll have to continue looking for that solution whenever I get some time. Hopefully my rambling helps clarify this for at least one person.
