****The Official Note III Thread****

[The Matrix]

Just had quite a big update on my Note 3, any ideas what the update was for ?

 

[thedude23]

Would it be worth my while getting a note 3 or should I just hold out for note 4?

 

[SnoozE]

anyone else found their battery is taking ages to charge now? used to be very fast but now mine takes forever... sign of a dying battery maybe?

I have this issue as well but it started happening after the last update so I presumed it was something to do with that

My battery wasn't that great on Touchwiz but its fantastic since i switched to CM11

Does CM11 support exFAT formatted sd cards?

 

[Ravster]

Just had 28mb firmware update. ..what is it?

Does CM11 support exFAT formatted sd cards?

I would assume so, it mounts an NTFS memory stick with an OTG cable on CM11 (PACROM).

Although I have had a couple of minor issues with pac rom but the latest nightly hasn't given any trouble today

I'm on the edge about moving to CM still

Yes it can use exfat. Just tested it. Works perfect.

just do it. its good. miss a few things from Samsung ROM but on the whole i prefer what CM brings

Anyone know of an over clocking kernel for CM11

Found loads for the Samsung software but nowt for CM11.

Im debating this my self, I have every plan to root and stick the latest cyan mod on the handset if i do grab it as it was great on my note 1. I have been phoneless for about 13 months now using my works SGS3 mini for most of that time and it is a god awful phone. Thing is the SGN4 could bring some epic changes with it, multi sided displays and the like :/

Main consideration is the cost, is it worth investing in a note 3 now, will the price plummet in the next couple of months.

Anyone had a screen replaced or know how much a replacement is? Just take my Note out of my pocket to find a crack running from one side of the screen to the other

Are you on nightlies? anything major not working with them?

 

[brummie]

yes nightlies. Not found anything that doesn't work properly. Everything i use does.

today i have been playing with a new version of note 3 , its called the Note 3 Neo, it sells for 160 euros less than the pedigree and i found it fantastic, Hexa core, better display than note 2 and looks exactly like note 3 bar the size, its smaller. Does anyone has one , i am interested in battery life

Performance wise, it felt exactly like a note 3

Interesting. I will have to spend a whole evening sorting everything out and go for it then I think. I need to do this in a few weeks time though as this is a busy month for business and I can't faff around with the phone as it is my schedule keeper
