Figuring 450 for mine.

Rooted tempered glass screen protector and no scuffs on it. Been in a case since day one. Clean Verizon Esn and thats what I've been seeing them going for Knox is at 0x0 and if they want it unrooted I'll do that too haha.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gerg004:
Honestly at this point, as wonderful as custom ROMs are, all I need is root. Changing dpi, removing bloat + nova is all I need anymore. I used to be a crackflashaholic as well. Now I'm all about stability and functionality.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

I'd check swappa. Unfortunately they're not selling for that high anymore. I think 3-400 is about what we'll be able to get pending condition and accessories.

The fact I am trolling this forum is a sign my flash crack addiction is not gone. I thought I was satisfying it with near crack - Zooper Pro. I have been customizing all kinds of widgets and such in an effort to stop flashing so much.

Verizon sucks and I am stuck with them. I went Edge and now they are raising the minimum payoff amount which makes me regret going Edge. Debating the N4 as well. Besides the camera, I just can't see why to jump. N3 should get all the same upgrades in 5 years or so thanks to Verizon.

I didn't want to say anything yet without providing a full write-up or more information/pictures, but while reversing the Note 4's China ROM, I found a function named "is_retail_unlock_enable" in TrustZone. It is my understanding that retail Note 4's will have the ability to be unlocked. I'm not sure about Verizon or AT&T, but I'm hopeful. We'll have to see where Samsung goes with this.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] amebiasis:
I been on the fence about what new phone to order just can't pull the trigger on the N4. I used to have an S3 and when I saw the Note 3 I fell in love with it and knew I had to have it, I don't feel nearly the same about the N4. I loved custom rooms but big red doesn't like us to have them. I know I'm going to miss the stylus but I think I'm going to order the new Nexus 6, barring that Verizon hasn't screwed it's customers again and locked there bootloader or something (it really wouldn't surprise me despite being a nexus). Some of the things that turned me off the N4 though was the GS5 5.0 leak. Didn't like anything I saw there. The lack of any type of water repelling/proofing like the GS5. Rear speaker. And going back to the USB 2.0. I know the screen and processor is better but just didn't grab me like when I first saw this beautiful Note 3 I'm typing this on right now. And due to reception and a great corporate discount I'm stuck with Verizon so I can't go to another unlocked carrier sadly. How do you guys feel?

I've got a ZL battery case, Slim Armor view case, leather pouch, Spigen Slim, and a couple other cheapos I'm throwing in to sell. My phone is a warranty replacement so it's literally brand new just got it yesterday (Saturday) plus 3 spare batteries, extra charger, charging dock. I'm hoping to get 500 does that seem reasonable. The cases do show some sign of wear.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SomeFknGuy:
One thing that puts me on the fence about it...my note3 has gone to **** in the signal quality department lately... Even worse since upgrading to a kitkat rom... Wonder how the Note4 works in comparison?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neyenlives:
After owning Samsung devices exclusively since the Fascinate. I am now tired of crappy signal..... the Note 4.....it had a tiny chance for me, if it had come with front facing stereo speakers. But when I saw the mono speaker move back to the back like on the GS3, which I had.... and then saw the Nexus 6 announcement....... I'm giving up the SD card, SPen and removeable battery to get what I see as a darn near perfect upgrade for my Note 3. Finally a top tier phone with Motorola radio reliability and fingers crossed, unlocked the way these all should be.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] platinumrims:
I agree on the nexus 6. I figured if I don't like it for any reason I can just get a note 4 like I was planning on doing originally. Nexus 6 all the way though. I just can't stand waiting for it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] RomsWell:
Everyone complaning about signal must not realize we have band 4 enabled devices. I understand that the first batch had issues. But it had nothing to do with any of the updates or radios. Faulty hardware was the culprit. Now that band 4 is in full force people will have a overall weaker signal on band 4. Due the the frequency not being as good at penetration. So that being said you will have the same type of signal on the n4 or any band 4 enabled device. But doesnt pose any performance issues. If the device decides band 4 isnt avail it will look for band 14 if it cant find that then back to 3g. People with signal issue were getting no data or 1x in areas they know they have 4g or solid 3g and lots of gps issues. Most of these would be signal issues are placebo or people who dont know what 4g band they are actually on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neyenlives:
It doesn't matter what the reason is. Samsung is putting out devices with crap signal. Fascinate, Droid Charge, Galaxy S3, Note 3..... every one had signal issues except maybe the Charge....

It also usually gets worse when you flash an AOSP based rom on top of it.

My Note 3 still has the issues you are talking about. Dropped calls and spotty data inside buildings.... In a spot where every other smartphone gets a wide open LTE signal and my phone is trying to fight itself between a 1xRtt, 3G and LTE. I have to toggle airplane mode on and back off to slap it into working or wait 5 minutes for it to sort it out on its own.

It's a rampant issue among Note 3 owners (the ones that bother to come to xda) and was the same on the Galaxy S3..the issue never goes away.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] chrootz:
Have fun with the locked bootloader. :)

I am going to buy a Nexus 6 cause I love freaking flash polished AOSP ROM freedom.

no fricking communist who put locked down on the bootloader like Verizon does.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xdadevnube:
I believe that the issue with the Note 3 is that indeed a hardware issue with earlier samples of the phone. I don't think it is actually anything included in with the Qualcomm baseband, rather possibly the antenna implementation or something similar. It seems to have poor tuning for Band 4. I think the NC4 radio software does the best it can with the hardware it has.

This is speculation, but from my own experiences and reading the KK radio thread, I would suggest that a lot of the Note3 samples in the wild have hardware issues that are causing issues with Band 4 reception. Then I think that NC2 was tested to fix it (and it sucked), then they tried to adjust the radio behavior with NC4 to give the best overall performance for the average user.

I have noticed the Note3 hand off flawlessly between Band 13 and 4, between different towers as well as on the same tower. However, the hand off from 3G to 4G is awful. The phone strongly prefers Band 4, even when it doesn't make much sense for it and 13 would work better. I had better luck turning off Band 4 with MJ7, however, the 3G was terrible after KK, even with the MJ7 radio. Seriously, KK Note 3 SUCKS compared to the HTC One m8, which seems to be working with Band 4 properly (still trying to get the dialer codes to work on that phone so I can check).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Chocu1a:
Just gonna leave this here...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] chrootz:
Yup, it is gonna take awhile to get a developer edition depending on the stock availability.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neyenlives:
Except that's only an option for people outright buying their phones. Which is very few people. I can't say I know a single person who runs out and drops 600+ bucks on a device. They always use the carrier contact subsidy or Edge like program.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] asrah:
Had to get a brand new Note 3 (almost got hit by a drunk driver while walking. phone wouldnt boot/lcd was obliterated). New one easily gets 9-12 down 4-5 up with 1 bar of LTE signal, in backwoods New York. This area has halfway decent VZW LTE coverage, but its pretty bad in the neighborhoods on the hill. I was lucky if i got 1 down 1 up with the old N3. I dont know if this one has a better antenna or whats going on. Im not complaining though.

I got my N3 for VZW prepaid. $65 for 4GB of data and unlimited talk and text. Im not going to complain about paying less for the same level of service :D Am i the first person you know of that dropped $700 then $600 on phones? I hate contract service and edge. I primarily use my phone for mobile data. I was thinking about going with a T-Mobile N3 but decided to go VZW cause of CDMA and GSM capability. Never know which type of carrier ill be using in what place.

Neither of my N3 are dev editions. I dont really care about the dev edition since i have a ROM i enjoy and i dont care about OC kernels. Benchmark numbers are cool and all but i dont use that much oomph.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Afro Samurai:
I love Verizon's service so I won't leave but I'm really thinking of going back to HTC, development for the HTC One m8 is off the chain compared to the Note 3. I like to flash roms too much, Note 3 has been a nice phone but I'm too much of a flashaholic.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bossei:
I've been disappointment in how these phones are supported typically. They cost way too much to get what we get. With technology changing like every 3-6 months I really hope I'm not going to spend $700 plus for a phone only to see it lack in support after that. The development for the N3 is the slowest I've seen on any phone I've had and I flash a lot. It just seems like all of these phones are just becoming too much for the devs to keep up with and there are too many phones coming out for them to also try and develop ROMs for all of them. As much as I don't like VZW I just can't also seem to leave them and I also love my unlimited data too much! :) :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neyenlives:
I am certain the N6 is going to be "the device" to develop on/for. That's one of the biggest reasons to get it. The custom kernels are gonna make it fly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] RomsWell:
Its the locked bootloader. Any device with a locked bl is going to have a serious lack of development. You see it more now because carriers namely atnt and vzw are locking all the flagship devices.

Can anyone else enable device encryption when using this ROM? Mine hangs at the android encryption screen then it reboots. It will not encrypt the phone.

I have Philz recovery. Does the recovery you use affect encryption?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
what's encryption.....?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Never mind i found out but read this and ask yourself if you followed this to the letter
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gza036:
It encodes all the information on the phone using AES 256 bit encryption. This introduces a prompt at boot requiring a password to decipher the encrypted OS.

I'm getting the feeling you've never encrypted your phone before. There are really no instructions to follow... You hit the button that says "encrypt device" and encryption begins.

However, I always seem to have problems getting rooted devices to encrypt. It shows the encryption splash screen for about 30 seconds then reboots. Encryption has failed.

I have Philz recovery. Flashed this rom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gza036:
I had the same issue with 4.3

Back then, I kept trying different combinations of rooting then encrypting, or encrypting then rooting, and different methods of rooting until it worked. But I have no idea WHY it finally worked.

So I'm back to the same problem with 4.4.2

I understand generally what rooting and Android's full-disk encryption do, but I don't know enough technical details to figure out why they won't play well together.

I don't think that having a custom recovery installed would make any difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
you could try a custom TW or AOSP KK rom + encryption to see if they play well together at all/to see if it's just KK in general that doesn't like encryption

I've tried several times to flash ND8 tar.

but each time i try it fails here is a screen shot of my os.

Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Your on the triband version of S3, you gain nothing by flashing ND8, you will actually lose the ability to utilize the Spark capability. Why are you trying to flash ND8, it's the same Android version you are currently running.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] folkvar:
I was trying to flash nd8 because the roms state that i need nd8 or i will brick my device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
They say you need to flash ND8 so you have the Kit Kat bootloader (which you are currently on). Now someone with more experience can chime in, but I believe your OK to flash, there's a thread about TriBands ands flashing ROMs and modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] folkvar:
Thank you for your responses.

much appreciated.

Flashing Rom

I have the boot loader running ND8 but I'm running a different ROM running 4.4.2. Do I have to flash the .tar file still or do skip that step and just flash the ROM? And are users still having data and WiFi issues because I want to flash the ROM but I need the data and WiFi to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
You just need to flash the ROM, you're already on the correct bootloader

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yathani:
Hello everyone,

I just installed an app called A1 SD Bench Click.

Now for the issue that I just discovered. My Bench shows Read 18.22MB/s and Write14.92MB/s. I know the card I have should have around 60MB write and 40MB write. But I thought maybe its a device limitation, but that didn't stop me from trying the same Micro SD on my Tab S.

The Tab S showed a Read speed of 58.99MB/s and Write 30.84MB/s. So that got me wondering if there is a problem with my Note 3 or is the Tab S capable of using the full speed.

Could anyone try the app and report back with the advertise card speed vs the bench speed?

Thanks

Yathani
[General Questions and Answers] SiberianLeopard:
Okay- So I'm an avid Android lover. I have a Tracfone Samsung Galaxy Centura that would freeze all the time, so I rooted it with Poot, installed AnTuTu CPU Master Free, set the maximum frequency to 800Mhz all the time and a screen-orientation app so I could hold it upside-down. I also installed a built-in-soft-key enabler, enabled the soft keys and then deleted the app.

Here comes the tricky bit.

I created a boot loop with an app called Pimp My Rom. I don't know what I did. I just checked all the boxes that did the things I was looking for.

I looked on Androidforums, Area51 forums, and on Youtube for instructions on how to fix this and none of them worked.

So there's this ugly TracFone bootscreen that I disliked that I followed these steps to remove:

h t t p : / / android forums.com / samsung-galaxy-centura / 726626-removing-tracfone-boot-logo-startup-shutdown. html

But that's it.

So how do I fix the bootloop?

Hi guys.

I got my moto g from one week and i find an issue in touchscreen. When you put the mobile for example on the bed matress then try to press quickly on for example calculator keys (press key 1 for 20 times quickly).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
We have been able to use towelroot on the latest updates for the att S4, S5, and Vz S5 by flashing back the previous kernel, rooting, then reflashing the new unexploitable kernel. Vz S4 users will likely be able to do the same on NG6.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asalkowskineo:
Any method of rooting?

Now that Towelroot is out, is there any way of rooting on the latest version? Downgrading, flashing an image in Odin, etc? Or are we pretty much screwed until a work around is found? :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
There is a very good chance that the kernel swap method will work on this latest build.

Someone just needs to grab the ota from their device. We'll take the kernel from the new update and package it into an Odin flashable .tar. You'll then flash the old NC5 kernel after taking the update, re-boot and root using towelroot, then reflash the new kernel. No guarantees but this method has been working on all of the latest Sammy updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asalkowskineo:
I could give you guys the OTA if you tell me how to do it. I'm by no means an expert at rooting, but I've had a few years experience. So basically you'll modify the new kernel to allow downgrading to NC5, root, then update again? I had Towelroot before I updated, had OTA survival mode enabled in SuperSU, and had it installed as a system app, but I still lost root on this latest update. :crying:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asalkowskineo:
I wish they would just allow us to enable root in the settings, even if it meant voiding the warranty. We paid for these devices, so we shouldn't be restricted in how we use them and we definitely shouldn't have to put up with bloatware BS. After I get root back, I'm installing a custom ROM so I don't have to worry about losing root again. Of course, I can't install CM or any other decent ROM's because of the locked down bootloader.
