Now cannot. You missed the boat by over a year....

All this condemnation for the USB 3.0 port is going to force Samsung to opt for a proprietary cable in their next phone. I guess people rather have a smaller port than for Samsung to follow the USB standards... People need to realize this wasn't designed by Samsung, the port was designed by the USB committee.

Don't have that function my white set

Strange I have that menu on my white M1 set

TBH, I'm quite surprised that people didn't know this is the USB 3.0 port. Note 3 is not the first electronic device to have this port though. Rather, those newer external harddisks we bought which supports USB 3.0, already have this port. I keep emphasising ext hdd everytime I talk about USB 3.0

Disabling the smart features will improve the battery life, but I didn't find it significant. If you can connect to wifi though, don't disable it. Connecting to wifi automatically disables mobile data and it'll save a tonne of battery life. The biggest difference to battery life that I found was the "Location Services -> Use wireless networks" option. This thing uses your wifi and mobile data to determine your location and it keeps polling your connections for info, wakelocking the phone. On my S3, my battery drain went from 5-6% per hour on standby to 3% per hour on standby when I turned that off. But do note that some apps use it to determine your location if you turn the GPS function off.

ok have turned off use wireless network under location. i turned off auto wifi as it keeps trying to find ip address for wirless@sg but never succeeds despite telling me signal is strong.

Signal strong but access point congested also no use Yeah, in that case it's better to turn it off. I never use wireless@sg ever since I realized I spend more time trying to get an IP than actually using it

Guys, can anyone confirm that Note 3 screen is a much warm/yellow display? The Whites feel so yellow

Is it like more yellow than S4's screen?

What's there to complain when they can just use back the original micro usb?

Maybe it's just me, but I love the speed of copying. I don't even bother taking out my microSD card anymore. I don't mind the size since it clearly did not affect the phone size.

USB 3.0 ftw very excited abt that feature

Unless talking about the size of the connector. But that's pretty much a non issue anyway.

Hi guys,

I asked the question below at another thread but nobody seemed to be encountering what i did on my note 3.

When i was at the telco shop, i played with the demo model and found an option under "Controls" > "One-handed operations" > "Hand Adaptive Mode"

It basically allows the keyboard to sense which hand you are typing with and will adjust the keyboard to be nearer to that particular hand. This is only when u are using the phone with one hand that is.

However when i got my note 3, that option is missing.

Anyone can help check their note 3 to see if that option is available to you guys? Mine is Jet Black 32GB tho i doubt the colour would make the option appear or dissapear.. I tried every possible combo and options in the settings but nothing makes it appear. Tried googling also but noone has same issue.

Could my set be faulty?

Yep, not there.

I notice that when I get a msg or sms I can't open the msg from the pop up alert anymore if my note is on lock screen... When I tap on the pop up notification.. It pops up a box? Anyone know what's that for? Thanks!

Does anyone else not get a Green indicator light with a 100% full charge?

This happened for my Note 2, but no Green light for the Note 3?

Anyone else?
