Actually yes leh, but the strange thing is one day ok and then the next day it just went hot and drain for no reason ....


This is a symptom of a wakelock basically your phone screen is off but your phone is still active. An apps prevent it from sleeping so battery drain and heat is higher.

I play the same youtube video with xperia ultra no lag at all compare with note 3

Hmm, what kind of lag are you guys referring to? Anyway I'm using Instatube to watch youtube because it supports 1080p playback.

i can pretty sure its not a network issue. i think its the youtube app itself that is causing the micro stuttering

Can't seem to pinpoint which part is lagging....
Could you point out a specific time range?

I'm going to try dl the clip and compare it vs watching on the youtube app if possible. You tried watching it thru wifi as well right?

yeah thru wifi. dl the clip n watch should be ok. when watching on youtube, there's micro stuttering thru out the entire stream :(

Hmmm... I can't seem to be able to detect the micro stuttering....
Is it during the gun fight part? Probably later go demo shop and test with their sets as well.

Guys, im playing Aces on my S2(shooting game). According to GPlay it says it stores achievement etc and i see it syncing when i exit as well. But i doubt it stores the progress. I thought achievement is progress LOL.

So is there anyway to transfer to note3 so i do not need to play from scratch?

Hi any bros facing this problem?
You guys know when you use whatapps photo or video function to take picture or video. After finish snapping the photo or video, It will pop out into "Save" and "Discard" . If you click save, Photo will appear on the contact you click it from.

My photo function is working fine but my video is not working well.
As you guys know, whatapps video will auto stop when it reach the maximum size allowed to sent in whatapps then it will go into the Save and Discard page. Mine just stuck at the video page even though it reach the maximum size. I tried to stop at 2-4 secs but it still just stuck at the camera page without moving on to the Save & Discard page. I tried to restart my phone but i still face the same issues. Anyone have the same problem? I am wondering is it Whatapps fault or note 3.


I am facing the same problem, is the problem solved? Is it only us?

Do you guys see a huge savings in batt life when using wifi?

On a normal weekday i on data (forced 3G/2G mode) from abt 7am till i slp. Usually its abt 3hrs screen time for a period of 10hrs and i'll have 50% left. Even if im home the whole day, drainage is about the same.

If im on wifi i can have 3 hrs screen time over 10+ hrs and have arnd 69% left

I understand we are talking abt 2 different mode of communications and protocol. But this is a huge difference. Any bro here having such batt life for 3G as well?

If you are in a place with decent wifi coverage, you should see better battery life compared to being connected cellular networks.

The phone auto-disables mobile data when connected to wifi which saves a lot of battery. The mobile data radio takes up a lot more power anyway. There's also an option specific to the note 3 to use mobile data in conjunction to wifi when the wifi signal is unstable, a good compromise between saving power and having a crappy wifi connection.
