Looking for new toy AMD I've always been intrigued by the note 3. Was considering grabbing one from T-Mobile is it still worth it ? Sure they will be announcing the note 4 soon .
I currently have the nexus 5 and like it but crave a bigger screen .
Is there root for the note 3

You're at the half way point. Have a phone that's been half a year out... or wait half a year for the Note 4. Your call.
Yes, there's root out. It's XDA after all.

Not all gave root here on XDA sadly
And from read the note 4 is going to have a wrap around screen

I have the note 3 and I love it. The galaxy s5 demo unit came into my store the other day and I have no desire to switch to it... don't get me wrong it's REALLY nice. But I wouldn't switch to it. I say go for the N3

Wait for note 4 boot loader / Knox situation . if it's locked and Knox situation has not changed then either get a note 3 or stay away from Samsung all together . note 4 will have that dual WiFi antenna thing which is the only feature worth getting other wise I do t see them slapping 4 g of ram of 64 GB memory . faster CPU is useless and redundant as of now specially the way google is lowering requirement for their OS. The wrap around screen thing is useless to me because my phone is always encased
OP I was in the exact situation as yours. I've been using Nexus 5 and wanting to get a bigger screen, namely a Note. I weighed in the current trend, and am convinced that Samsung isn't gonna make Note 4 super interesting, so i decided to get a Note 3.
So far I am not disappointed. Touch Wiz has matured and there is no need to deviate from stock based ROMs.

Samsung has been crap this year. I really wouldn't have my hopes up for their next upcoming flagship. After all, it's just a phone. I waited a whole year for the damn s5 and it turned out to be a disappointment. I got the note 3 instead,and I totally recommend it. It will feel huge at first, but you will eventually adapt to the point of no return.After all, it's just a phone.
Just picked up the note 3 ....um wow just wow
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Awww my good friend. Do it, do it, it'll make you feel good good good.
Really, do yourself a favor and get the 3. I did last month and oh boy, everything is great and no you don't really need to root, I did because I can't live without Viper audio and cerberus and remove bloat to clear up memory, ( not just disable them). Using a custom rom, it was wicked but I've changed to hyper drive rom, both fantastic. So long story short get it, and become happy for ever, until next year at lease.
Or do as I did and get the Note 3 and pay the extra $ for Jump! and when the Note 4 comes out switch

Had it since day one and there is nothing better out there now. No S5, HTC One (M8) or IPhone can beat this beauty and the beast phone. Only the Note 4 can surpass it when it comes out.
You will not regret getting a Note 3. May want to wait till S5 comes out in case you can get a Gear watch bundled for cheap if interested in it.

I kinda agree that there really isn't anything out there better yet. I mean things like 2k display (not needed and bigger battery drain) 2gb ram is a step backwards, and no stylus (if you use it) and the Snap Dragon 801 is only 200mhz faster with the same gpu. So at the minimum I probably wouldn't even look til the 805 SoC came out or 64 bit (which isn't even needed yet).
That not even mentioning someone has to come up with something really innovative or significantly better like the isocell with OIS. At this point, we're really at a point of saturation.
Currently have the S3 on Verizon. Upgrading to the Note 4 seems nice. Things I will miss include the unlocked bootloader that I highly doubt the Note 4 will ever get, and I doubt it will get safestrap either. My other concern is the current method of rooting the Note 4 (Yes, there is already a way. Unfortunately, it will trip knox and void warranty, where as on the S3 you could use Odin to flash stock image and fully reset it. Will there be evolved root exploits? Input needed, thank you.

My opinion, Note 4 is the best to date device. It's so fast that you probably can live without custom rom for awhile. By then, we should have root and able to enjoy more customization. To tell the truth, after a few years from now, I think custom rom will be obsolete or limited due to unbreakable locked bootloader.... unless some magical thing happened and they decided not to lock boot loader anymore.
I understand the desire for custom roms and/root but custom Roms will no doubt impact one of the main reasons to have a note, the s pen. I say get it if you are okay having sick phone, but ultimately they will have at least a safe root for it. They did for Note 3.

Yeah. I am getting this phone because of the features. I was impressed with the S5 but couldn't go without the note 3 screen size. Now I get the best of both worlds. Between the water proof and an otterbox that makes the phone a little more ruggid for my line of work. I will miss my Xposed modules until there is root!
wait man.note4 has just arrived.it takes time to do other method.wait till some days.will be there someone who migth be working on it
Droid Turbo seems promising. It's all on you. I want the Note 4. I've owned the Note 3 twice, and got rid of it cuz of how sluggish it was. (Bit of a perfectionist) The demo Note 4 seems responsive enough for me and Touchwiz looks a bit better this time around.

I read that the turbo won't have expandable storage, which is so close to a deal-breaker for me
I loved my note 4 early on. Fast, VERY fast, solid battery life, and Gear VR which is awesome.
Enter lollipop 5.0 - lag. lag. lag. lag. overheating and can't get more then 10 minutes out of gear vr before it overheats and that's after a factory restore..
WHY is verizon taking so long to push the 5.1.1 update which supposedly addresses many of these issues??? It's making me want to jump ship from Verizon - and from the note series. (doesn't help that note5 doesn't have microsd or removal battery..) and where the heck is root that will let me tinker and try and fix the issues myself?? I can't believe newer phones have true root and this one doesn't!

You're not the only one. I'm sick of it. Waiting to get rid of my note 4 once I hear about the next nexus devices end of sept. Nexus 6 dropped to 350 on amazon. So tempting. As for 5.1.1, the Verizon s6 just got it! Verizon is absolutely terrible. Basically if you want quick updates and be on Verizon, you have no choice but to have a nexus. And that's what I plan on doing asap.

Yup. They took the best phone and made it useless as far s Verizon goes.
I wasn't having any major lag or heat issues. But I did notice battery life was lesser than should have been. And since I received the phone on OF1 I could not even achieve temp root

Agreed, it's ridiculous
I agree 100%. It is absolutely ridiculous. I've been contacting Verizon and they said they're waiting on Samsung. All I know is that Verizon always takes the longest to update.
I'm trying to keep it at the top of discussion board (how effective, right? lol).

It is amazing how few posts there are in the Verizon Note 4 forum about anything other than hopes and frustrations. Hop over to the T-mobile Note 4 forum, and the place is buzzing with customization and root and activity. Just visiting Verizon's section is totally depressing.
They even have the Note 5 rooted - if you don't care about "samsung pay", which I dont.... there are awesome things going on there. What a difference.
Just sayin.
argh; the fake article from vccorp (announcing 5.1.1 coming out yesterday for verizon note 4) got my hopes up
Having the same issues for about a month straight with my note 4. Phone heats up, lags, reboots on its own. Battery life is crap now, even with a spare battery. This has totally killed my experience with this phone that I used to love. Just ordered the note 5 for me and my wife. Hopefully verizon pushes the 5.1.1 update to fix these issues so I can safely sell the phone without feeling I am selling someone a sub par device.

I'm having the same issues with my phone. I am getting very close to switching to the "DARK SIDE." I've had Android for years and it has just kept getting better and better, but they took a massive leap backwards with Lollipop. I am sick of not being able to use my Gear VR for more than 5-10 minutes without getting the warning and then making me remove the device. The phone has all kinds of heat, lag and hiccups now. I may very soon be going to a 6s Plus.

There have been some people who improved their Note 4 Lollipop experience by doing a 'Factory Reset". Those of us who root our devices know that you have to wipe your phone completely and start over for the phone to work right. This is not just with the Note 4. They all act up if you try to upgrade over an existing setup.
Just do it. Factory reset your phone, start from scratch and you'll most likely have better luck. Of course there are no guarantees but even a small improvement is better than putting up with the problems you're having now.

5.1.1 did fix a lot; I'm using it on Tmobile- It's not Samsung, blame VZW. I feel bad for my homies here as I've been with the Verizon crowd since my Original Droid. The Note 4 on 5.1.1 and custom rom is the best phone I've ever used since android came out. It delivers the promise the unit had in the first place.
I hope you guys get 5.1.1 soon... marsmallow's out in a few more days.

Your specific example was even with package disabler pro... what else do u need root for? Do u need to overclock one of the top rated CPU? Do you really still mess around with TiBu? IDK. Root doesn't do much for me. If I wanted root, I'd get a nexus 6p. Have ability to root my A9 and haven't even bothered. T-Mobile Note 5 has root... and 6 basic modified touchwiz roms

Yes. Big time junk.
1. The phone has 4 gb but nearly 1 gb is used at any given time and missuaed by Samsung bloat.
2. Stupid ram management that closes apps before they are actually closed.
3. Going into ultra power mode does not work right. I have replaced the phone twice since it was not able to go back from ultra power mode. I did not use package diabler at that point.
4. Ugly interface.
5. Data is deleted frequently from storage.
6. It uses too much of the internal memory for other crap.
I wanna sell this stupid phone and get me a nexus that will eliminate this stupidness.

I'm lucky enough to have both a Note 5 and 6p. I love them both. Heck I used the 6p for a month or so and went back to my att Note 5. Why?
The screen
S-pen

It just works well for me.
I love the 6p too but my experience with the Note is more fun and useful. I've been tempted to get the Titanium international version but I haven't yet.

Hello guys!
I am on xda forum after a very long time. Needs some guidance. I am big fan of note series but now using S7 edge. I am very happy with it but missing S pen. Took S7 edge two months ago. Should I go for an upgrade to note 7 or not?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
They're the same phone, just ones a bit bigger with a pen. Do you want that? then yes get it.
Simples. =)
FYI im in much the same boat, have the S7 Edge, but want the Note 7. I shouldn't, it isn't worth it, but I want it, so i likely will.
I dont think it is. Same phone except for bigger screen. Plus now edge 7 has root. If the note has root on release maybe id change my mind.

The root is bugy as hell. I've tried many different things to change that and it was still buggy. Engroot is not the same as other root methods.

The mDNIE image processor is unique to the Note 7, and I'm guessing some of that is to handle processing of HDR video. Not sure we'll see that on the regular s7 & S7 Edge.
As for Secure Cloud/folders and such, that is something I could see with an update to the Knox suite.
Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
How important the image processor would be for next 2 years? (assuming next buy will be when my GSM contract expires)
As i understand content needs to be adapted for this. Samsung's representative said Amazon will offer such content and probably others in the future. It does seem HDR is proprietary... will video content makers adopt it? Does it improve the HD content scene?

Hey guys what do you mean by working decently?
I need to be able to root and Note 7 will not be root able for now.
I think S7 could be a choice I can give up my S-pen for root.
I am upgrading from the S7E, because I can.
We can too but is it worth it that is the question. With Sprint update I onky pay 300 dollars but I dont think is worth it without root. From my perspective going from a root note 3 to a non root note 7 is a downgrade.
It is not an upgrade if battery life is worse.

I'm on T-Mobile Jump On Demand and I demanded it a few days ago. I also have loved having a spare battery but starting with the LG V10, and now the S7 Edge, my use no longer demands an always available spare battery. I've had the S7E since March and I've never had a completely drained phone. It was the expanded storage that brought me back to Samsung. Discovering UHQ bluetooth 24\192, to make use of the portable music library was just the cherry on the cake for me to never regret that purchase and now the new Note.
I'm going for it. Only because I got the BOGO deal for my S7E and sold the first one I got. I gave my current edge to my brother for $200 so I'm pretty much covered on the cost for the Note 7 anyways, cruising on an S5 until the phone is released. I'm honestly just interested in it for the IRIS scanner, and the S-Pen and Type-C port. Basically niche features that I enjoy experiencing. So yeah, it's not costing me anything out of pocket but if I were you, I probably would keep the S7E for now until the Note 8 comes out because they are literally the same spec phones as for internals.
Is it worth it to upgrade from s6 edge+? Using it for 7 months now.

During presentation they said something about a graphical chip "mdli" or something similar... (cant remember and it drives me crazy)... is that specific only to Note7 or also to be found on S7.
What about the HDR capability for watching videos? Secure folder? Samsung cloud? are any of this present on S7? I have Note4 and i refused to upgrade because non replaceable battery... i want to upgrade but... that's like 70% important to me

Iris scanner, secure folder, better camera UI, better battery saving mode, spen suite, preorder gifts, bragging rights. I say go for it!

Hello guys!
I am on xda forum after a very long time. Needs some guidance. I am big fan of note series but now using S7 edge. I am very happy with it but missing S pen. Took S7 edge two months ago. Should I go for an upgrade to note 7 or not?
Thanks in advance

Other than the Spen and a slightly bigger screen and some small semi gimmicky items they are real close.
Its the tamer edge screen that sold me on the note and kept me away from the S6/S7v edge devices....i hate the edge screen lol.
If your missing the Spen than yeah I guess its worth it though.
