Conquered by the Note 2, Note 3 I bought the February 12, 2014 in "reconditioned" (on Amazon.de) for LTE ...
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Smartphone Unlocked 4G (5.7 inch screen - 32GB - Android 4.3 Jelly Bean) Black (Electronics) 5
Fantastic device! I must admit that I had a dog to separate me from my sore Note 2, which already stunning look elsewhere please me yet always the same, and even better than that of Note 3 ... A matter of taste! So I cracked anyway PCQ I had to LTE. But damn to hell! What problems with this unit one !!! Hardly acquired, now pushes the (first) upd to Kitkat. Early problems! While everything worked fine in JB, KK makes a mess, the machine starts to pitch ... the battery that runs out in a wink, the unit that heats, which TouchWizz completely kidding, apps that buggent to outdo and indiscriminately my use. A first attempt to reset does not work, any more than the next attempt to downgrading to JB. I curse Samsung! An acquaintance had the same problem, but as the device is "pro", he could easily exchange it against another Note 3 ... with which he had no problems despite the upd. to KK. I therefore trimballe like this until mid-July, thinking resell the machine and get my Note 2 which I kept (and I take a stay in Tunisia (3G ++) to re-try a complete reset Note 3 on the basis of a different firmware version, optimized for Vodafone). In Tunisia, after reset based on the new firmware, the device remained stable. Once back, re-belotte! OTA mixes in and the problems begin again ... Finally it is the second upd. to KK that finally solves the problems at once. It is there that asks "why not now ???" Since then, the treat ... Until a "hole" of 3.5 cm appears in December in the business scope of the S-Pen (see screenshot), right middle of the notes area, impeding the use of the stylus, including to unlock the device (locked by the pin code: very embarrassing figures in the area described not respond to touch by the S-Pen ...) . It is extremely curious, because the area yet reacts to touch with your finger and it is even possible to write with your finger! But not with the S-Pen! Problem S-Pen? Nay! Note that of the 3 works perfectly on the tablet Galaxy Note 10.1 in 2014 and the S-Pen latter ... experiences the same problems as the Note 3 on the screen of the latter. This is a disaster! An attempt to replace the S-Pen does not work, then, in desperation, I have to deprive myself of the machine to send it for repair at Samsung. Amazon.de call is made, which is the repair warranty, without any difficulty. Shipped in compensation (pay shipping) on April 2, he's back on April 13. So I get my Note 3 back, shining like as a whistle, indicating ... the S-Pen was defective ... ... just to see that the problem in question is still there. Contact Amazon.de offering the return of the unit and reimbursement. Amazon.de can not exchange it (PCQ has bought reconditioned), so I bought the same gear, not reconditioned this time on Amazon.com, (it is no longer sold or shipped by Amazon.de and seller the book not outside of Germany ...) for a price comparable to the one I had paid there 14 months. I am now waiting on April 24 to receive the new unit ... I enclose two screenshots to illustrate the unresolved problem and a picture of the beast as she came back to me. Maybe one of you experienced the same problem - and a different solution? I put 5 stars in any case for both the device itself and for the Amazon service. Also hope that adaptation difficulties mentioned above will not rest with upd. Lollipop next to ...
