Where did u get the FW?
Samobile?

Which country did h use?

I generally us the Italy version of any firmwares from sammobile. (the unbranded one, not the Italy Vodafone one) I find that the SA versions always are the last to arrive on sammobile.

The BT(uk) ROMS on sammobile are also unbranded and normally have the new ROMS pretty soon after release.

Used the russian rom. Happy so far.

Why the heck is SA so far behind ?
You don't have any language issues or network connectivity issues with a foreign language rom? You can change the default language when the phone starts up for the first time?

Installed the hardware to a note 5 and love it.... the note 5 port rom on the note 3 is very close to the real note 5.

So I have a note 3 up for grabs if any one is keen. No scratches or any damages looks like it was taken out of box yesterday If any one is keen.... send me a pm.

OK.. My Note 3 is almost 2 years old and was having slightly reduced battery life..

On checking battery it's bulging quite bad, so guess going to need a new one.

Where's can I get a genuine battery, best priced.

Takealot has it for R369, anywhere else better priced?

Takealot has R369 as the reduced price and R399 as normal price now, you were lucky then.

Oops, mistake.

The S4 mini battery was R299, Note 3 battery was R369.
