Well it is Sept 2019 and my Note 3 is still going strong. My phone is now 6 years old and on its 4th battery, 2nd S-Pen and 6th Otterbox Defender case. Otterbox does not make the case anymore so I have been getting a great clone off of Amazon and actually think they are better as the rubber is...

Well after 5 years today the first app to have a popup sign saying it will not work with my version of android I have, V5.0 I know this day would come..... what to do? Not only that but the case I use is not made any more and all there is is after market clones that suck. I hate the sizes of...

Can anyone give the steps they took to get a 128GB card to work on their Note 3?

People have been putting the music they buy on cassettes, Ipods and Cellphones for years so that is not the issue. My pictures and music are being deleted once I put the 128GB SD Card in the phone, mind you there is a lot of the same music/pictures on my 32GB, that work fine, that I put on the...

Yes it is all my music from my cd's

I am trying to upgrade my Note 3 to a 128GB memory card. I bought a Samsung Pro microSDXC UHS-1 Card that is Class(10) XCI This card is formatted to exFat and my Note 3 see it. I then copied my current SD card (32GB) to a folder on my MacPro and then copied all of that to my new 128GB card. I...

Well today I compared the stats of the Note 3 to the Note 8 and I do not like it. I think curved glass is a fad and useless to me. The Note 8 is thinner and longer also. I am staying with my Note 3 and looking to buy a new Note 4 for it's 64bit OS, together they should take care of my cell...

I just ordered a new factory S-Pen off of eBay under $10 free shipping. Works perfectly. With all of the talk about the Note 8 I still am thinking it will not be worth the money. Going forward the Note 3's biggest draw back is going to be developers not writing for it. Looking at Note 4's now...

Well I just found out that with Andorid 7 which came out on Aug 22 Qualcomm will not be updating the Note 3 chips for it. The line has been drawn and now the end of the Note 3 is counting down. I have Auto Update off but in time apps will stop working. I am thinking another year or so?

As the Note 3 gets older the last Andorid update for them was 5.0 and soon the apps will start not working with 5.0 or get make the phone run slow. At this time we will have to make a choice. Upgrade to A6.0 with Rom or buy an upgrade to Note 4,5,7 I am already starting to look into a Rom...

Cool reading the replies. Its funny I am on my 3rd Otterbox Defender case (get them off eBay cheap) my phone is like new when removed. Still original battery going on 3 years. I am looking into a Android 6.0 Rom should the apps start to not work or start making the phone slow down as I am on A5.0

I have looked into every Note that has come out after buying my Note 3 and find it odd that how great the Note 3 was as a cell phone Samsung totally screwed up on keeping it a great phone. What they did in three updates was just take away things that set the Note 3 apart from all the others. Why...
