Guys I neeeed help with my Note 3 9005.
It was working great on 4.3 and then I accepted the pushed KitKat 4.4.2 firmware - initially, for approx a day, it worked fine but then the issues started - it is pretty much now unusable, the main issues are as follows:
I have done multiple battery removes/replace and have also done a factory reset since upgrade to 4.4.2
1. I have a genuine S-view cover. 8/10 times the phone display will NOT turn on when I open the cover. Not only that but the phone is completely unresponsive to any button presses for approx 5 minutes - eventually the screen will come on but the phone will be extremely slow.
2. Most of the time when I unlock (on the rare occasions it functions as it should) and I go to enter text in any app be it email, ebay, whatsapp etc, basically anywhere I need to type, the keyboard will appear and the word suggestions will appear but NO text will actually enter into the text field - I need to exit the app completely and then re-enter the app in order to see and enter what I want to type.
3. S-Voice will appear randomly and when I press the home button the phone will freeze for approx 30 secs and then go back to an incomplete version of the lock screen - I'll enter my pin and the input will not appear for around another 30 secs.
4. Sometimes the screen rotate will not work.
SO frustrating - I am seriously tempted to buy a Galaxy S5 but will the problems still exist?
Interested to hear your thoughts. If I was competent enough to downgrade to 4.3 I would in a heartbeat.
Thanks,
Dan
