    Note 3 suddenly off and not powering on...

    It was an attempt at more British English, as I prefer to learn that, native language is Dutch. :-[ There is, two years even, and didn't have to pay for the repair, just didn't get a temporary replacement phone in return while my Note was away for repairs. Good thing I had my old first Note...

    Anyone using Hangouts for SMS instead of standard SMS app?

    I love it a lot, not having any issues with it, and I don't use MMS as my provider charges extra for them, so staying clear of that feature.

    Note 3 suddenly off and not powering on...

    Well, mine was broken after eleven days, but KPN, my provider, doesn't hand out new phones even so short after breaking, and you have to pay for their insurance plan to be eligible for a temporary replacement phone at all, sodding providers here make you almost sell your liver...

    Note 3 suddenly off and not powering on...

    Tyler, I pulled the battery like five times, also measured its output, the phone itself didn't respond at all and they check at the shop to make sure it is really faulty or not before sending it in for repairs. ;)

    Note 3 suddenly off and not powering on...

    Well, phone has returned, working and all. Seems they replaced the entire mainboard, namely A/S ASSY-PBA MAIN(COMM) as it is mentioned on the repair log.

    Phone suddenly turned off and won't turn back on?

    Lithium based batteries only get warm when discharging, not when charging. (If they do it's bad!) So likely when you charge while it is standby, any heat may either be from the battery getting discharged/was discharging or simply the CPU/GPU got warm. What I tend to do, as I got a dead Note 3...

    Note 3 suddenly off and not powering on...

    Well, brought it to the store it came from, realized the stores were open extra long today, they tried multiple things that I hadn't tried yet or couldn't but couldn't get it to respond either, so it's on it's way to Samsung now, bummer. :( To be continued...

    Note 3 suddenly off and not powering on...

    Okay, to my big shock, my phone suddenly seized to work... It was charged a few hours ago and I just had it laying, nothing special. It's a flat-stock N-9005. I wanted to check it and it did not respond to the Home Key. I tried powering it on, nothing. I took the battery out and hooked a...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Any settings for when using the S Pen as text input?

    Well, what I found so far is that it does do some clever things, like, when you have written a word, it breaks the line a bit. when you write further behind that break you get an automatic Space, but if you put a symbol inside the break you can end or interrupt your sentence with a dot, comma...

    Suggest me a good phone!!

    I'm kind of surprised how the topic starter states the pros and cons, have you actually tried out the phones for yourself? (Not sure if they have them on display in Indian telecom stores.) I have been interested in the Sony Z1 as well as it is an interesting phone. It's water-proof, fast and...

    What should I get?

    From what I read the Nexus 5 doesn't have the best battery life and camera, other than that it should be a pretty solid phone, certainly has nice looks. Though then, when you look here, the Moto X is just a dual core while the Nexus 5 is equipped with a beefy Snapdragon 800 chipset and a Krait...

    Galaxy Note 3 - Screenshots/Homescreen Thread

    Heh, been a while since I had one of those tiny things. :p I discovered Themer Beta today, it's very cool, never really knew much about the Launcher feature but it's neat nonetheless. :D

    Android Sketching Topic!

    Just an idea I had, hope there isn't a similar topic already. Searched for it and nothing showed up... :confused: Anyway! I myself love to draw a lot, not just in my sketchbooks or on the computer, but also on my phone, hence why I got a Note. I figured it might be an idea to make a topic about...

    Galaxy Note 3 - Screenshots/Homescreen Thread

    Many cool themes here, say, aren't you guys worried about warranty or isn't it all that hard to make the phone look like it has never been rooted?

    Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Any settings for when using the S Pen as text input?

    Hi, I think the text input when using the S Pen works surprisingly well, and I mean both editors. (There seems to be two, one for when hovering your S Pen over a closed Text Input field and hitting the little Pen Symbol, and one when switching on the Samsung Keyboard itself which summons the...
