Well, here we go.

I think you're also making this one up. You can go to Best Buy and buy an unbranded phone. This is just one of the many stores you can do this. Don't feel like going to the store? Go to amazon.com and get an unbranded note 3 for (as of today) $518.

I don't know what "SIMlock Branding" is, so I'll assume you made this up too.

Sim lock and branding are 2 separate things. Here in Italy (EU), phones still come branded (Tim, Three, Wind, Vodafone, etc), but are in fact unlocked.

No, you didn't say the Note 4, what you said was "In comparison, in the US a phone costs $450. The same phone in the EU costs €799." The Note 4, iPhone 6, and other phones of this current and past generations fell under the category you indirectly mentioned.

None of what you just rambled on about had anything to do with exporting electronics from the US being "illegal" as you called it. Yes, it's very expensive to export electronics such as smartphones because you have to pay shipping costs and import fees/taxes. Not for any other reasons, and especially not because it's illegal.

I didn't say I wasn't aware of this, did I? In fact, I'm well aware of it as I've ordered many phones from China, and that has been an issue with certain (not all) couriers.

They don't provide anything but a discount.

ok.

Nowhere in your post full of bull**** was there a compliment.

[/QUOTE]

I was sorry, but now I'm not as you've directly insulted me while just making yourself look more stupid.

Now, as I've publicly defended myself (like you tried to do), I won't be replying to your posts on this thread anymore. We'll just be filling the thread up with your bull****. If you have anything more to say, take it to PM's I'll gladly continue the argument(s) there.

Question: Why put a 64bit chipset in a device and then not go over the 4GB RAM threshold?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
A question I've asked so many times I've given up on ever getting the answer.

But I suspect it's mostly for the old-fashioned 'I have it. Don't know what it does or why I would need it, but I have it. Look at me!' reason. Same reason as why people in a country with a 120kph speed limit and more speed bumps than trees would buy a Ferrari. They can't drive it out of their driveway, but they think other people will be impressed because they have it. Same thing.

I replied ohh I thought iPhone is MADE in USA.

The stylus is all that Sammy needs to kill that iPlus...its like Sammy's mighty sword:laugh:

only a fool will opt for iPlus over a Note 3.. in India iPlus is going to be priced at around $981 whereas Note 3 is currently available for $652 unlocked.. expect price drop when Note 4 arrives.. so no sense of buying the iFlop(except if you're an iSheep:D) and features??? hah!! way behind Sammy:cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
Architecture in that 64 bit chip is faster per clock than 32 bit, data access should also (since you move 8 bytes per cycle instead of 4), faster floating point operations, especially high precision, so it's not only about higher memory addressing space, but programs will use more memory. That's why they can use 2 cores at 1.3GHz and still be not too far behind 4 cores running at 2.5GHz. Also add to that highly optimized OS designed to run on one or two specific types of hardware.

I had an iPhone 3, and switched to a note 3. I needed the bigger screen size for work. Now that the iPhone 6 & 6+ are out, I'm definitely switching back to Apple as soon as my contractis up. I am a big fan of Apple. I just feel everything runs more smoothly, all of the software just fits together more seamlessly. The note 3 is a great phone, I definitely like the stylus, but since having owned both Apple and Samsung, I prefer Apple.

To middle class Chinese who only cares about "face".
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sirobelec:
So, lads and ladies, today I got for some 5 minutes the regular iPhone 6, and having dealt with ALL Apple mobile devices up to the 5S for a lot more time, this is what I have to say.

When you got the money, it's a matter of personal preference.

The 6 (tomorrow I'll have my paws on the 6+ for examination), I'll admit, feels good in the hand, premium, high end, all that s**t. Aaaand also it feels like an oversized iPod Touch 5. Which I like a lot better over the angular corners of the 5 and the 5S.

Software wise, it's still iOS, meaning: you go to iTunes so you can do something as simple as copy-paste files, which Android does natively.

The iCloud still has bull**** implementation of importing vcf files, so transferring contacts from an old phone, any old phone, will be a pain in the ***: you somehow turn it into vcf, because the iCloud doesn't read anything below VCF 3.0, you gotta throw it into Google Contacts so it can convert it PROPERLY to VCF 3.0, still can't import files bigger than 256 KB (which is total bs, I know people with thousands of phone numbers and you can't fit them all in such a small file).

Security wise: kiiiiiinda secure, if you remember all your passwords; but I've had clients who forget some simple lock code, and want me both to keep the info on the iS**t without wiping the info inside it. Well, that is the point of security, where Android does the same.

But poor you if you Apple ID lock the phone, you've got a brick, instead of a phone that needs a simple factory reset. xD

Hardware wise: what the ****, Apple! 1800 mAh battery simply doesn't cut it. Yeah, the 6+ reportedly has a 2915 mAh battery (still less than the Note _2_ even), but we have to see what battery life on the big one is. 64 bit processing and the like aside, there aren't many people who can stress any high-end mobile device in everyday use. And the Note 3's SD800 still does a damn fine job. Let me not get started on the 1 GB of RAM (which is extremely not futureproof).

Lastly, the price. Where I live in, for the money you pay for the 128 GB edition of the 6+, you buy TWO Note 3s WITH TWO 128 GB microSD cards.

Let's also not start on the brutal disadvantage of non-removable batteries. :D

Overall, a pretty overpriced toy, with finally a screen size that doesn't break my fingers in 5 pieces.

And baby, when it comes to big screened powerhouses, even now the Note 3 owns the field in terms of performance, beaten by the OnePlus One alone.

It's a matter of taste and how one uses a smartphone, of course... :D :D :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ECrispy:
I tried a colleagues iPhone 6+ today. This is not news to anyone, but its not going to feel special to anyone coming from a recent Android phone. Big screens and replaceable keyboards may be magical things to Apple users, we're used to them for a long time.

Its a huge, monstrous phones, with huge bezels, awkward and unsafe to hold. iOS 8 brings nothing new except a few things that were long overdue. Android users will laugh at 'widgets' in notification dropdown. Multitasking sucks. Pages/apps reload all the time due to 1GB ram.

Just go play with one and you'll realize its literally just a bigger iPhone. The ONLY nice feature is TouchID and Pay.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dai323:
I think it's funny how so many people are saying that the iPhone 6 Plus will be kill Note sales. Granted, back when I had an iPhone, the size was one of the things that bothered me most about it (and then came lack of customization I find with Android). Having an iPhone this size IS something that will seem magical to iPhone users, but what keeps me coming back to the Note isn't just the size...

...it's the SPen. That's so weird to admit, as when I had my Note 2 I hardly used it. But on my Note 3 I use it constantly. There are plenty of phablets out there, but none that can do what the Note line can do. To be honest, I think the Note series is slowly the star of the entire Galaxy lineup.

Now if Apple could whip up an iPhone with Note size AND an iPen, I would seriously be interested in how they would approach it.

To be honest there is no phone currently launched that makes me think I want to ditch my Note 3 (Apple or Android), its been a disappointing year. Sitting it out for a while, will see what Snapdragon 810 devices there are next year.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kabuk1:
This right here.

I was really thinking of getting the N4 but it's just not enough of a spec bump to justify the money and the change from the awesome, sturdy charge port back to standard micro USB kinda pisses me off. This is the first time in 3 years that I'm actually considering a different manufacturer for my next phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] eenbox:
What's funny is that they have 5.5" screen in the case thats visibly bigger than Note 3 for example... I think size wise, motorola shamu aka nexus 6 may take the big screen prize... just bit bigger that lg g3 and it has 5.9" screen .. that will be insane... however I got my note 3 for 500$ so I am fine eith it and did not want to wait...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] improwise:
Its kind of funny that even with almost no apple fans present, a discussion about Apple still seem to turn into a flamewar and insults beeing thrown around. And again I find myself smiling because the people who have the most intense relationship with Apple still seem to be die hard Android fans :)

Im one of the few people that seem to be able to use both Android and iPhones and like then both. I would say that to me its about 50/50 which I prefere, both have their strenghts and weaknesses.

As the Note 4 was kind of disappointing compared to the Note 3 my next phone will be an iPhone 6. When I find something that seems to be much better than the Note 3/4, that will probably be my next Android.

[Acer Iconia A500] nounusedname:
Hello pros of XDA forums!

I recently got a hold of my first Android device, the A500. It came with factory stock Honeycomb v3.0.1. Because the build-in system update no longer work, I flashed it to 4.4.4 OmniRom by IconiaHD from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2705989.

Everything works great except when I watch Youtube 720p videos with the Youtube app, the video would lag very bad. It's not network lag, sound plays fine but the video just freezes then plays for a couple seconds then freezes again. It's the kind of lag you get when hardware is not fast enough or when there's too much software in the background eating up all the CPU cycles. But I checked background app CPU usage with Watchdog Task Manager and no app is hogging resources. I then tried to increase CPU frequency, change CPU governor, IO scheduler, nothing helped. CPU set to performance helped a tiny little bit but overall video still stutters too much.

Anyone else have this problem? :confused:

Also under Known Issues of the IconiaHD's thread, it says "-Default sound recorder app is included but the icon does not show up". Does anyone know how to make the app appear so I can use it? :confused:

Cool device? Not for this game!

In this game, your score depends not only on your abilities, but also on the power

your smartphone\tablet.Get maximum points, do not forget to follow the

FPS (number of frames per second).

How to play:

* Destroy the colored circles, do not let them get too close!

* Keep an eye on the counter FPS. More circles - below FPS.Save FPS at 24 frames and more.

* Prove to others that you have the most powerful smartphone.
