r/note3

I just recently got note 3 but I find myself not using the pen very often. Does anyone else rarely use the pen? And those who do what do you use it for and any beginners tips on using it? Thanks.

I have had it for two days and have noticed its buggy as hell. Since I updated, my phone has gotten a lot slower, and I have been experiencing delayed resonses to everything I do. Apps crash on me constantly now, reddit being the most frequent. I also dont like the new color scheme.

Anyone else having problems like this or is it just me?

I was a little late to the Note 3, so have only had it for about 2 years. I still love it, but am getting a little "New Phone Envy" and the s7 Edge is looking pretty nice. Is anyone upgrading to it? I want to wait for the Note 6, but Oct seems so far away.

So About 3 weeks ago, I got a note 3 off of craigslist, and am loving it.... or at least I was. Yesterday, it started getting slow. Like really slow. and glitchy. Apps are timing out the screen keeps on wanting to lock out and not respond to my swipe gesture. And just generally randomly taking a long time to respond to anything I am trying to do. So I went to the "active apps manager" widget, cleared my active apps, so I only had two running. Then wen I go to the "ram" section, it says I am using about 80% or its 2.71 gigs of ram. I go to "clear memory" and it says "30 apps closed". Seconds later, I clear memory, and it closes 7 more apps. If I leave it alone for awhile, the ram usage builds

Since it update, seems to die faster. Curious anyone else noticed.

I've used a Note 2 for years previous, and 80% of the time when I would connect to my computer to add music or other media, it would screw up what photos and mp3s it recognized in Quick Pic and Power Amp.

I'm currently using a 64gb card with my Note 3, the listed capacity, and I get no problems. It's awesome!

But I need more storage now, but I can't have it messing up my files everytime, and then having to format, and then copy everything back over. Just can't happen. I've no time for that. Any insight?

After a small update a few months ago, my battery was much less powerful. I had trouble getting through a whole day without switching on and off airplane mode when I wasn't using the phone. I decided that it might not be a phone problem, and to just get a new battery. I decided to go third party, and have had amazing luck with Anker. I would HIGHLY recommend it. If this isn't big enough, then splurge for the Zerolemon superbulk case with a 10,000mAh capacity.

If not, is there any way to make it so?

I'm usually very happy with my Note 3 with CM installed, but whenever I see someone else with a stock Note 3 and their video/picture taken on their phone, I really admire the quality and wish I could do something about the poor compatibility of AOSP ROMs and my Note 3 camera.

Hey all, so this has really been bothering me. When I use my Note 3 to cast Google Play Music to my Chromecast, it works fine... until my screen turns off. Then it will continue the remainder of the song, and NOT advance to the next song in the playlist. So at first I thought this was the Chromecast, and I happen to own 3 of them, so I tried them all, even reset them, same results. I also found the 'Wifi Sleep' option in Advanced Settings and made sure it was set to never sleep. I further went into the service menu and turned the sleep mode OFF in there as well.

Still no go. I also have a Nexus 7. I tested with that. At first it had the same issue but that is because 'Wifi Optimization'
