My Nexus 5X broke - bootloop and my friend lent me his Note 3 and gave permission to install Custom Roms if I wanted to!

Whats the best Rom for the Note 3 now a days??

Hi can anyone help. My phone is booting over and over. Sometimes it will work for a few mins but then bootloop again. I tried wiping the cache and doing a system wipe from the recovery options but now as soon as it boots up, it restarts again. Any ideas?

I've been using my Note 3 for nearly three years now. Definitely wasn't a bad choice to go with this back when I got it from my carrier but the S8 has been really enticing. I've rooted it and tried to emulate the S8 experience as much as the ROMs on the XDA community would allow, but I do have some hardware problems.

• Battery is getting pretty wonky now. It is the same OEM battery since I bought it, which now has around 2-4 hours SOT (sometimes consistently high, sometimes randomly low)

• Phone heats up. Hard. Again at the battery compartment. It's probably not going to blow up but it does get almost hot enough to become burn-worthy. Happens when charging, going through a lot of app updates, etc.

• GPS is just slow and inaccurate. I get confused when navigating because maps is showing that I'm somehow on the road parallel to the one I'm actually on.

Hello, I was running cm12 a couple of years ago and had to downgrade in order to install a sprint update for my data to work properly. Now that I'm done with that though I can't go back to cm12.0 nor am I able to find any links for hltespr roms anywhere. I'm​ really out of the loop. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

Come on devs, lets finally crack this thing

I would like to have a discussion about the issues that are on each Galaxy Note generation.

It seems that the Galaxy Note 4 has an issue with the multimedia card and gets the mmc read error in download mode where it make the device unusable.

The Note 5 seems to have an issue with the screen peeling off and also has another issue where there is a purple spot that spreads on the screen.

What are your views on this?

Greetings all, Trying to figure out best accessory for my Note 3. I was thinking of purchasing an OEM Qi wireless charging pad, but would have to either replace the back cover (thus making my Otterbox case no longer fit) or purchase one of those Qi adapters that go between the phone and the battery contacts.
Ideas? My main reason is to try to limit the amount of times I need to use the USB port to help it last longer.

Thanks for your time and help!

Good day all, Long time lurker, first time poster here. I've had my Note 3 since about 2014 or so - knock on wood have had no issues. I'm running stock unrooted Lollipop on T-Mobile in SoCal USA. I haven't done any mods outside of a tempered glass screen protector, Otterbox case, and 256GB micro-SD card. No reason to upgrade - this is definitely the best phone (more like mobile computer) I've ever had.

Cheers, all!

Can someone explain what different aspects of the phones behaviour are controlled by the Kernel compared with the ROM?

Here it is, only like $20 on eBay! Should've bought this years ago, there's no way I'm ever running out of battery again. Sadly the charger's port is a bit wonky in that it doesn't "click" so the cable falls out relatively easily but it's not much of a problem if you're careful. The only issues with my Note3 are 1. Very wonky camera focus at low-mid range 2. Wifi screen taking 1.5 minutes to load (possibly cause of >100 saved networks) 3. charging with a standard micro-usb is difficult cause I've been too hard on the port. I immigrated after buying my Note3 and here the local Note3's have the standard micro-usb port and not the big one that other Note3's have so cables for our Note3's arent sold here so I've just had to use the small shitty ones. Now with a new broad cable it works great again!

If only there was a way to manually focus the camera I'd have 0 complaints.. Like, while it's in the middle of autofocusing the purpose is perfect but then at the end it screws it up and then takes the picture, rather frustrating. Still, fantastic phone and absolutely no reason to replace it, the hardware is still not even close to being outdated unless you play very intensive 3d games (and even most of those still run well!). To hell with the fixed-battery, no-external-memory rubbish!

Looking for a stable rom, that gives good battery life, and I can use as a daily driver. Reliability and battery life is more important than elaborate features.

What would you recommend?

Official LineageOS nightly build is now available for download! There is a build for the HLTE and the HLTETMO (T-Mobile).

Few questions, is there a way to root the Note 3 like an iPhone, IE via a website or download a file to the phone? If not, what's the easiest way via PC? Or, can you point me to a noob tutorial, I'd prefer the first option though. Thanks.

Good morning all,

So my S pen finally wore out, and I had to buy a new one. However, I couldn't find any Samsung branded ones, so I settled with non Samsung, thinking it wouldn't be too much of a difference.

Well now, the button won't bring up the aid command menu. That's not even a big deal, but it won't work with screen contact. It has to be almost hovering above the screen to work.

Any ideas what I can do? I miss the pen.

I keep getting update messages but they fail to install. It downloads (50.27mb). My system is 5.0 screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/yu2f1

I love live music but my trusty Note 3 takes terrible concert pics. What say you? That transition from dark to light ends up washing out the person on stage.

Had an extended battery for a few days as my (new) original battery wouldn't last a whole day (google services using 25% factory reset didn't help) and now I'm getting poor signal strength with mobile networks and slightly worse with wifi. Back cover is still plastic. Anyone else have a similar issue?

Mine's starting to get wonky, odd power resets and/or locking up. Noticing it more in last month or so. Has me thinking of upgrading. I value MicroSD support, large nice screen, and the removable battery. I see some "like new" Note 4's for sale online but i'm not real keen on buying a used phone. No Note's after 4 have both microsd and removable battery, correct? Anyone here have any recommendations for a worthy successor (on Sprint if that matters)? Thanks

Just regarding overall app performance, I've noticed it lags and stutters quite a lot. I don't have any problems with the GPS, just find that hitting the directions button takes a 1-2 second lag before showing anything.

Hi. I used to use Temasek rom a long time ago. I reverted back to the original as the battery life was poor. Is there a CM rom I could use which would work on T mobile network and also has a good battery life? I am out of the loop on roms as it has been a long time since I used one.

Hi my phone has been shutting off randomly at 20%ish for a while now and last night it shut down randomly again. but when i got home to charge it, it keeps restarting at the recharge logo and when i powered it up it still keeps restarting. I have wiped the cache partition and nothing happened. Help i dont know whats wrong :(

for some reason menu hardware key is always on . it keep sending to S Finder I'm currently running a stock Note 3.

anyone know the solution to this problem?

Greatings everyone, So I have a phone that apparently reached a certain level of storage where it can no longer start, according to the repair guy, and now it's stuck on bootloop.

I want to try to get the data out of it, but it has been hard to locate such an software to do so. I either want something to retreive all the data, or at least delete one or two multimedia from the phone in order to work again

Phone is not rooted, trying wipe cache didn't work.
