I've searched amazon and the bad ratings of claimed exact replacments are full of counterfeits. Ebay, forget about it. I've considered ordering from sprint but they want $50 for a battery and external charger that God knows who it was rebadged from. I've also considered anker. Some people love...

Has anyone tried to plug in and test an external powered cd-dvd-bluray drive to the phone? If there was anydvd hd and handbrake for android,that would be awesome. Although my n3 would probably have a good run against my old, retired, thrown in the trash many years ago Intel pentium 800. 1.5 to 2...

This might have been an option, back in the old days, with older Samsung phones. With kit kat, is this option no longer available? Maybe back in the cwm recovery days... I noticed that many times, the phone will run for quite awhile at 1% before shutting down.

I'm am experiencing more times than I have the patience for, times in which a power down battery swap brings forth issues with instability with lollipop! Updating Google apps only to be caught in loops of death of gapps force closing or system apps hanging and having to wait minutes until things...

TLDR; WHENEVER YOU ARE GOING TO FLASH ANYTHING, MAKE REDUNDANT BACKUPS AND GET THEM OFF THE PHONE! I was on OC and tried a few days ago, running triangle away. It didn't work. I had philz clockwork mod recovery, which worked after flashed with mobile odin pro. Before that, I had twrp latest...

I tested it in lp, with earbuds and noticed it's mono, even on strong signals. I'll stick to iheartradio and tunein radio (pro (really old version)) for stereo streaming. Why really old version? I think the direction the company went in updates were in the wrong direction. Plus, I prefer the...

The one that made me write this post is that when in some other program, like Internet browser, the notification area is changed, color wise. I can't figure out the logic behind that. Battery life has been pretty bad after 24 hours too. Voicemail not auto signing in, after using the Google...

Does twrp-2.8.6.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar or philz_touch_6.25.0-hlte.tar.md5 work without any problems restoring a 5.0 backup? Maybe OC5 should be called obsessive compulsive 5.

There are two features in galaxy phones that make me a return upgrade customer; removable battery and SD card support. If the next note does away with either, I will seriously rethink about upgrading! Sprint never sells the biggest capacity available for the phone. Judging by their previous...

The source has dropped awhile ago. Sprint said there was going to be an update within the first two weeks of December. Nothing yet as of Dec 11? Should it be pushed any day now? Hopefully before new years. And hopefully it doesn't break root methods or root apps. I've been seeing a lot of dev...

This is the first time this has happened. http://i.imgur.com/EYlwUqO.jpg I was using a Samsung charger and battery. I was using a third party cable but changing it to an official sprint micro USB cable didn't help, even after reboot. I finally removed the battery, put in a fully charged one...

I got one recently that offered me free unlimited minutes because I was a valued customer. I'm guessing it's because I've been with sprint for almost twenty years. They said it wouldn't change my contract. I signed up for it since my old plan is 300 minutes. I rarely talk so I went for it. I...

Mine are that they are usually easy to root, lots of support like XDA, they have replaceable batteries, and external chargers. My first Samsung android phone was the moment. That was a great little phone! The epic was another, and the last, of the great slider phones from Sammy. The moment used...

I've been doing searches for the answer and can't find anything. I have a pair of Sony mdr-v6's. The output isn't really loud and has very little bottom end. I don't listen to bass head music either. I suspect there is an impedance mismatch. If you have an answer, could you provide a link to...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 I don't know if this will work for our phones. I don't know if it's safe, but I thought I'd post it anyways. Read about it originally at androidandme. Edit: People are reporting it works with the sprint note 3 and doesn't trip Knox.

It isn't like I'm driving the CPU hard to run out the battery faster, but I've noticed that when draining completely, the battery is always sightly warn to the touch. This isn't the case when I swap batteries before the phone dies. Could it be that when voltage drops, amperage increases?

I keep canceling it. Trying the link for more info and the page is 404. Edit: Sorry no screen shot. I didn't think to grab one. Just look at the date of this post. Are you seeing similar behavior? I just don't want to blindly let something install without knowing what is going on. I also don't...

This'll was suggested to me by the Dev of RMC call recording app. I flashed it and it fixed the buzzing. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! https://bitbucket.org/copluk/acr/issue/61/possible-kitkat-call-recording-fix-for I haven't torn it apart yet to see what its doing. I haven't noticed any ill effects...

The ability for call recording was lost in nc5. In nab it worked. Can I go back, as long as I flash the development boot loader first, to nab without borking anything?

Previously, mop wouldn't flash modems on the s4. Has anyone tried this yet? Mop has been updated to support kk on the n3 now. I'm just a little nervous with pulling the trigger and possibly bricking.

Installed nc5 a couple hours ago. Has anyone figured out a fix or work around yet?

A friend of mine said your phone number is among the info sent out to sites. The thing that got me wondering was looking for auto parts. I'd enter my year make model into one site for a search and that info also showed up on another parts site I had never visited. I have forms turned off in...

Saw article on phonedog about it. Do you think there will be another update for HD voice or do you think, or know, it's already in the most current ROM NAB? Our phone is reported to support it...

Most readers will probably think I wear a tin foil hat, but many of the current things I've been reading, lead me to think that the powers that be can activate the front camera on phones and or laptops for unscrupulous reasons, if they want to. Me believing that the NSA are spooks that do...

When you plug in headphones, and slide down notification, it shows suggested apps. What should I freeze with TB to get rid of that? Also, is there something to freeze to get rid if the headphones are plugged in notification too?

No tar for the d yet. Only way I see is flashing the leak or kinda stock version. Just wondering what the differences were. I'm not having any problems with nab so far.

I searched and tried updating busy box yet re isn't letting me rename downloaded files. It won't let me if I try on internal memory or SD card. I got mp3 files that weren't named with similar conventions as other files. Legally downloaded but the files weren't named similarly. My OCD is pissing...

I asked this before with a previous phone, but I'm curious on what the note 3 might be compared to in a laptop computer, Mac or PC. Yes it's a question, but I felt that q&a section was not looked at as frequently as general. Sorry mods if I broke a rule. This is just a general question AND...

I bought a windows phone launcher, forgot which one at the moment. What apps do you suggest to turn touchwiz into the most windows phone experience? I know there are launchers, but is there more than that? No, I don't plan it on being permanent, just something to play around with.

Go get it! Sorry I don't have a link, I've had a few drinks and am too buzzed. Great thanks goes out to the user in the strong Steve ROM post in development that pointed this out! Don't thank me, go thank him! Chainfire, you've made Christmas in January for me!!! Edit: user blackcanopy in post...

Yes, this probably should have gone in the accessory section, but I'm curious with sprint users, with your success or failure stories before I buy it. I saw a really cheap one on amazon, under ten dollars and from an Asian sounding seller, that claimed it was Samsung OEM but many were reporting...

I had a friend on tmo tell me this and I've been experimenting myself. Does anyone else see this? I thought I did but I may have been mistaken. It "seems" like cell signal drops slightly perhaps. BTW, the friend has a s4.

Just ordered it tonight and will post pictures when I finally get it. That was my favorite case, with the standard battery, for my s4 when I had it. Slim, rubber inside, hard shell outside, rubber ribs for grip and anti slide on the back. It never interfered with a tempered glass screen...

Finally discovered my msl. Is there any tweaking settings, like there was with the epic 4g wimax, to lower threshold locking signal? I just looked to my settings and didn't change anything except multimedia settings to all zeros. I did take a screen shot of the original values in case I need to...

I've frozen all the apps that were in there so they're empty now. Whenever I try to edit the screen and drag the folders to remove, it causes touchwiz home to force close.

I've tried many combinations of stock ROM and eventually get such and such app has stopped dialog. Now, again, touchwiz home has just started fc'ing on A full mj4 tar install. The only thing, besides the programs I'm running is that I have the CPU governor on in power saving settings. I'm open...

On all my previous phones, I've been able to make a widget shortcut to settings (Bluetooth). Since I've got this phone, there isn't that option anymore. Are there any suggestions on how to do this? There used to be an app that could do such a thing, but I forgot the name.

Even though I've had good luck with the couple of things I've bought on amazon from China, my common sense is telling me to not be so impulsive. I found someone in China that has the Samsung external battery charger even though just about everyone has it sold out for now. What are your thoughts...

I know, from the reviews, that the buttons are harder to push. Does the case have a tenancy to spin because of the hard shell backing and kickstand? Are the nubs slippery or tacky?

I'm wondering if they immediately look for the Knox flip or they don't. I know it depends on a lot of things but I still am concerned that down the line, if I need to get a refurb, if I'm down the creek without a paddle.

I saw that twrp has some default settings for wipe, with some additional wipe options unchecked. There's also a wipe in settings general within the os. Are they different? Can you lose root or trip Knox with either or by checking the wrong additional setting in twrp? I recently did a factory...

Do you think it's because the phone is expensive? I know devs don't go towards cheap phones, but what is more popular. Strange to see that sites like phonedog have a voting system in the highest rated phones, and the n3 is at the top, yet we at sprint n3, have minimal activity in the...

I'm just wondering if there might be an approximate time frame that might be following a loose pattern of ota patch push then full tar.md5 appearing?

I'm planning on rooting regardless. I also want todo the hotspot mod if there isone for mj. Is there anything I should do before accepting the update? Coming from the s4, I know mj* is a point of no return update. I actually prefer to get the full tar.md5 and flash in odin rather than update. I...

I have the chance to get a n3 at a decent price. The past couple of days I've been reading this section of the forum, just ti get an idea of what to expect. I have a s4 atm. Seems like some are upset at Mr being able to get their msl, difficulties with the mj update, and general call quality...

Just a general post to see if those of you who got the update to work, if you really think it's worth it? Is it one step forward, two steps back? Are you happy that you updated or sorry you did? No, this post isn't necessarily a question post, just one to get people's opinions on the update in...

Just curious. I haven't figured out how to consistently do it but it has done it many times since I owned it.

When I'm on 3g cdma only mode, I can keep a data connection. When I switch to cdma/lte mode, it sometimes takes a while to finally get 4g data. I'll have plenty of signal and in different parts of my County, it acts the same. This started last night. I did a ##72786# and it didn't help. I...

I've had a few recently show that there was an update, but the version posted was what I already had. Only open and uninstall buttons. A real update eventually showed up a few days later.

I would think the GPS and a network connection would be good enough to triangulate where you are. I'm tired of the nag screen. I tried to Google for an answer but didn't find anything that exactly answered my question. Maybe when Google mapped out street view, they were also sniffing for Wi-Fi...
