Really disappointed in the att note 3 - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General

I really can't believe I did a early upgrade to the note 3 from a s3 and I can do more with my old s3 the my new note 3 I got just yesterday I'm really upset about the fact that I'm still on stock modded tw which is really sad I'm really starting to dislike the tw ui so when I got my new phone the note 3 I was hopping to try something new their so many custom firmware out their that I would love to see on my phone that I can't try this is such a let down now I'm stuck paying on a phone I really don't want at this point so on that note I think I'm going to keep using my old s3 less of everything but so much more to do with it this is just a sad morning for me....!!!

Let everybody open a new thread now asking if people are getting every phone that comes out every two weeks. And wrong place to post questions. As you said it yourself the op has a question which means this thread should be moved to q&a.

There is not another thread on this forum for note 2 . I was just wondering who want to switch fron T999 to Note .
Peace
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I know the Windows phones are the big question in a lot of Android users eyes these days but I have to admit the Note 2 is a demon and though it will be like holding a salami sandwich to the side of my head I can't ignore the specs which is why I got the GS3 in the first place. I will be watching but I think it's still too early to tell if I'll be racing to the store since the last purchase nearly made my car the bedroom.
I am going for the Smart TV next though (Samsung rocks).

Just ignore people like that man they have nothing better to do than cry about it not being in the Q&A and really if that is their biggest thing to worry about it should make you feel better for having real issues not trolling forums whining.
back on topic, i am debating getting that or the one x+ if it comes out around the same line cant decide yet note 2 has a good lead though huge screen is right up my ally but pockets are getting too full to fast
I'd love it but I couldn't bring myself to rock it as a phone. Just too big.

The note 2 is a downgrade from the gs3 in terms of hardware. No way I'd downgrade. I had an international note and it wasn't in my top 5 best phones. I've had every high end phone too. I won't be getting rid of my s3 for one unless it has a huge dev community which I don't foresee.

That's interesting. It's about time the exynos supported lte and hspa+ 42. I bet that thing is gonna be a battery hog even with that huge battery. I'll be interested to see how this phone lands. If it's like the s3 and all the versions are similar then dev should be great. We will see.

From epic to...SIII or Note II?

Going to get my new phone in the AM, and I have a dilemma..
My wife is getting the SIII..that's a known factor.
I however am torn between SIII and NoteII...main problem being they aren't carrying any NoteII's at Radioshack right now, have to order them, and no telling how long it will be until it comes in (maybe by monday, maybe later).
Should I go ahead and get the SIII or wait for the NoteII? Anyone have any ideas on how the development community is going on these devices? From my eyes they look about the same...but honestly haven't had the time to do an in-depth research for it..
Your opinions would be appreciated.
I'm almost in tha same boat as you but mine is Note 2 now or wait for the S4. If I had to choose between those two i would go S3 from what I kno a lot of the devs from this went to that phone so it would be familiar names there and I'm sure the community is bigger but I haven't look to much into myself jus an opinion

I know xboxfanj went to the Optimus G. But most of the other devs went to the S3

Note 2! it will change your LIFE!
Well wouldn't you know it, I went to upgrade on the 23rd, and the Note II promotion had ended on the 22nd...jumped from $199 to $299...so had to opt for the SIII I wish I had been able to catch that promotion, but the SIII is pretty amazing, and my GOD the number of ROMs to try out are just mind-blowing, I think I'm on my 6th or 7th right now, and still have another 4 to test..development over there is crazy!

Ahem (just bought the SIII)...
No seriously, I bought the Epic when it was old (actually paid more for it than I did the SIII), and had it until, well, last thrusday...I bought the Asus TF101 right after the Prime launched...I don't like buying 'new' hardware, you never know what kind of bugs are going to be discovered for it. And the SIII launched last May, still quite new, at least to me
In the case of the Prime, it was a disaster and was quickly reissued as the TF700T and phased out..and my TF101 is still kicking hard..
Also, I am not a dev, so I'd rather buy a device that has a dev community already well-established. Something to consider, how long do you want to wait until someone discovers a root exploit and gets a good ROM on your device, unlocks the hotspot, and OH CRAP here's an OTA that bricks your device at worst or at best breaks root and you have to wait again to get root established before development can resume..
On the other hand, all your friends will think you are cool for the first month when you have a brand new, just-launched device that no one else has...I don't have many friends, so I go for the tried-and-true. Not the shiny-and-new.
I bought the Note 2 and returned it after a week. Happily back on my Epic now. lol

Get the Optimus G, best phone I've owned to date and has better specs than both the SIII and the Note II. At a glance you may say I'm wrong but do some in depth research and watch reviews on each phone and you'll agree with me.

Looking to buy a new phone

Hello. Long time Android & XDA user here.
My old Motorola Atrix 4G is finally starting to die. So I decided to go out and start looking at a new phones.
Phones im considering:
1. Samsung Galaxy Note 2
2. Samsung Galaxy S4
3. Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
Now a liitle about me. Im a computer tech, I know a good bit about linux and windows OS. I sometimes for my job have to remote into servers to fix issues. Mainly Windows servers. Because of this I am already testing the Galaxy Note 2. I like the big screen and battery. But it is big. Maybe too big?
I also would and have flashed my previous phones to better roms so I would say a strong development community for the phone is a must. The more roms (stable) the better in my option.
I like the S4 because of the camera and the S4 Active for the "water resistant" & dust proof. I also like the IR blaster, something the note 2 lacks and the higher processor power.
My question at the end of the day is im looking for a phone that:
A. Has good remote desktop resolution
B. Good development community for roms
C. Maybe IR blaster
D. Resonable battery life
Im thinking the S4 Active but how stable is it compared to the S4?
Thanks for any feedback!
Dimitri
I'd definitely wait for the note 3 over the note 2.

The active is nothing to write home about. It is garbage to many people and a failure on Samsung's part.
My wife has the Note 2. Huge screen. Not too big for the hands, fast and reliable, but bulky in an otter box. She is completely stock.
I have the S4. I was lucky enough to get it shipped directly from AT&T with MDL so I am able to flash all the ROMs I want from both The AT&T and T-Mobile forums. If i were to have gotten MF3, I would only be able to root.

That is entirely up to you. I personally love the S4. It smokes every phone out there and will probably continue to do so for the next year.

Too be completely honest go with a nexus 4 or the nexus 5 when it comes out. The s4 doesn't feel that much powerful. I still get lag and such. I came from a 1core family phones both Inspire and Infuse, but I jsut am not feeling it. If you want support you better get a T-mobile phone that has an unlocked bootloader because the s4 along with the note 3 has a locked bootloader.

I don't have any lag. Disabled animations and debloat as well as a few things like greenify help a huge amount. Android is made to customize. It is up to the user to do so.
The S4 is the top dog. Much better than the N4 on every aspect. Even on stock with locked bootloaders, the S4 destroys it.

I'm on a custom rom but I still don't feel it. The amoled screen really sucks. I always have it on full brightness but I can't see it outside at all. The battery life works for me as I have three other batteries. The camera is only good on TW as are other phones.

Do yourself a favor (if you haven't already done so) and read the "pinned" threads in the general and Q & A sections. It doesn't matter how much you know or don't know already, those threads contain information that needs to be known for this specific model phone.
I hope you enjoy the phone and I think you made a great choice. Good luck.

If you can afford this phone and a mac, you can afford a pc. You dont need anything high end, go pick up a $300 laptop. Hell, if you look around, you can probably find something sub $300.

galaxy s4 price

would anyone be able to give me a link to where i would be able to buy a galaxy s4 for roundabout 480-$550, as i decided not to go with the nexus 5 since i feel it will have massive battery issues and i cannot find another phone that i would truly like.
I'd consider giving up my S4 for a Nexus 5. Nexus phones are really great.

i know and i love the nexus line to death but honestly it seems as if it's going to have massive battery issues with only 2300mAh and having to power a quad core snap 800 and 1080p screen.
In my opinion, I think 2300mAh battery for the Nexus 5 should be plenty and should last a whole day. Before you go assuming the battery life will be bad or whatnot, let me get my friends opinion. Three of my friends just got the Nexus 5 today so I'll ask them how it is.
Or if you Google "international I9505 S4 "you can buy it completely unlocked for $574.00

As @~wolverine~ suggested, Swappa will be your best bet. They are endorsed by XDA and carry both carrier-based devices, as well as unlocked devices. Though, if your planning on rooting or using custom ROM's you may want to steer clear of the S4 until a breakthrough is made due to the restrictive bootloader. If your insist on the S4 try to find a Google Play Edition, else go with a Nexus 5 in my opinion. - Hope this helps!
I Honestly would give my gs4 up for a straight trade nexus 5 32gb

Sure I would give up my "ATT" S4 up for a nexus ,but if you like the S4 like I do you have more options like the GT I9505 brand new in the price range your looking for.swappa deals with a more used based type of phone.sure it's cheaper.new sounds good to me
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
look up the local listing on craigslist, you might be able to get it even cheaper. or wait another couple of months and get the S5
