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

Any easy way of removing scratches or will I have to put up with them

Knew I should have bought some screen protectors

 

[Kreeeee]

You're stuck with them.

Put mine on the bed yesterday, changed my t-shirt.. forgot I put my phone on the bed and decided to make the bed... Woooosh sent the Note 3 flying thru the air followed by a hard smack down on to the floor face down.
I cringed, slowly picked it up and slowly slowly turned it around expecting the screen to be shattered - w00t w00t, perfect no scratches. Silly boy! - won't try that again, hopefully

Yeah, also picking up other phones especially iPhone's makes me laugh now as they feel so incredibly small, trying to text on them now feels like a nightmare.

Still getting much poorer signal than my iPhone. It's a shame really, as I love this phone!

Any suggestions at all? A case seems to make the signal go down and I need a case as I will crack it if I don't have one (sod's law). The case problem leads me to believe the phone is perhaps faulty?

 

[mrk]

What case are you using? Also what baseband version is your phone on?

Battery life on this is BAUSS!

Not surprising though. Off charge for 13.5hrs, on a train journey from London to York. Been using it for Web browsing and listening to music at the same time. 2.5hrs screen on time with 73% remaining. 35% brightness. Love it.

Someone please keep an eye out for UK promotional details like the USA guys have:

US Note 3 owners get $50 Play credit!

[thep02]

Wow $50 play credit would be epic, i've always said the Note series are Samsung's true flagship.

 

[KnightStalker]

I hope they do that for us, bit unfair if they do just the US market.

 

[kona786]

The credit would be awesome. I wonder why it's US only so far.

 

[DarkShadow]

Tempted to ditch the Nexus 4 for this. Are there any deals like the one from Mobiles.co.uk recently?

 

[Vakas]

The US always get things first with everything. It's the same with everything the Uk is always last or only get the rubbish stuff,

Well that's what I think anyway.

Anyone noticed a significant battery drain increase by Google play services over the past 2 or 3 days?

It's using like 40% of my battery and upon doing a Google search looks like I'm not alone.

I noticed mine wake locked my phone for 4 hours yesterday and drained a ton of battery

 

[Thomss]

That Play credit would be awesome if they brought it to the UK!!!
The battery on this thing is on another planet

So much for having a Nexus device....ahem, beta testers

 

[mrk]

Wow that's amazing newd!

 

[Grrrrr]

Which ROMs are people running? I've been having a look through XDA but there are quite a few!

Any particularly good Slim ROMS with DPI changers out there?

 

[Alty]

Guys - what are people doing about wireless charging?

 

[mrk]

I use SweetRom, seems all good.

Wireless charging isn't something I've ever considered I gotta say.
