Hi folks,

Have a quick question:

What's the fastest Wifi speed you get on the Note 3?
On my 100Mbps fibre using speedtest, I am getting 50Mbps down, 95Mbps up.

Anyone knows why my download speed seems to be stuck at that?

TIA.

Hi guys. I have been experiencing some intermittent connection issues. Cellular network network was ok.

Last week when i was smsing halfway then suddenly i couldnt send out smses. I thought was signal problem so i went airplane mode but didnt help. But my whatsapp was working and i could surf. Had to restart to work.

few mins ago my whatsapp grp chat had no ticks but my 1 to 1 chats were ok. Web surfing was ok as well. Airplane mode didnt work as well. Restart was the only solution.

Anyways with connection problems randomly and airplane mode not helping?

if you keep having this issue on the same spot, it should be the telcos signal no strong enough.

My office if I sms on my desk, the sms keep fail, I need to go all the way to the window in order to be able to send sms. whatapps was fine.

Did get a ST technican come and check, was told that the signal in my office was very weak.

This is really happening from time to time depending on our location.

Sometimes we are located in some deadspots where 3G is stronger than 2G so we can send whatsapp msgs but cannot send out SMS.

Unless you really cannot send out SMS anywhere and for a very long time then there’s really a problem :)

My note 3's battery fell from 100%, at night, to about 80% when i woke up the next morning. My settings usually when im at home will be wifi on n connected, auto brightness, mobile data off, power saving on and the rest of the features will be off. Anyone experiencing the same issue? Could it be a battery issue or its normal? Cos my previous phone (htc one) did not drain so much battery overnight.

is there a short cut to switch the key board from normal to one handed operation and back without going thru the settings?

yes you are right, something is not right, by right, it should fall only a few % even you turn on your wifi.

Try install battery monitor widget and see the rate of the current drainage, you can do a factory reset, then monitor/compare the drainage, then install your apps one by one to see which apps eat so much juice.

If all these still fail, bring to samsung service centre and exchange the battery, your battery come with 6 month warrenty.

Tks for replying. Actually I meant if outside without Wi-FI, what is e data consume on mobile network? We got only 4GB cap per month so wanted to see one full EPL match can eat up how much data.
