The auto backup option says that it will start backup under the following conditions: 1 hour after the phone has been connected to wifi network and is charging with screen turned off, and 24 hours after last backup. Not sure if this means screen must be turned off including AOD, but I have never...

This is my 3rd day using my replacement Note and so far no problems. But like chyeo's, I also have problems with my first Note 3 weeks in. It shut down by itself and kept restarting, prompting me to verify my phone to unlock with a password even though I never switched on secure startup. From...

I exchanged for my replacement phone last Sunday evening, phone is unlocked, no carrier. Country: Singapore. We are required to book an online appointment from Samsung website and select from either self-pick up at stated venue or home delivery. The first week was fully booked on the first day...

Same here. I will be checking with Samsung once the replacement instructions come in, since I bought it directly from them. Just hope they only need information on identification such as serial / IMEI numbers to register for replacement instead of giving it to them on the spot and go without a...

For my country, replacement instructions will come next week. I don't think they will leave you without a phone hanging. I'm guessing you will need to register your phone for replacement, wait at least a few weeks, bring your phone in to exchange for the new one. As for backup, Smart Switch for...

Agreed. Maybe a bit of a hassle to replace the phone but it's for my own safety. The only disappointment is that I couldn't enjoy using the phone without the nagging feeling that my battery could be defective.

Re: Not Concerned About Recalls Agree on Samsung's decision. Better to check if there's a problem on their end.

Re: Not Concerned About Recalls I'm not concerned with this issue either. The way I see it, this type of thing happens to only a small fraction of the people who own the phone. And I always noticed the news seldom reported whether the affected owner used a 3rd party charger/cable/connector...

MobileFun has posted their review of the lens case.

I love the leather case. It feels comfortable and nice to hold. Just be careful to take care of the leather as mine got slightly scratched by possibly my house keys (my fault entirely). And oh yes, the screen protector I'm using is the Samsung official one, and it doesn't peel far so far.

Review of the official leather case by MobileFun.

I have installed the official Samsung screen protector with the leather case, and I noticed it fits quite perfectly without peeling off the sp. Same goes for the S-View flip cover and lens cover. There was only one time when the a bit of the top part peeled off when I put on the leather case...

Pictures of the lens cover (left) and leather cover (right). On top are the stainless steel lens and cylinders for storage.

I have the lens cover set, I can confirm the cover allows wireless charging to the phone. The only first party case from Samsung that doesn't support wireless charging is, ironically, the wireless charging battery case.
