I would say Black... Looks more executive....

What Nav software are you chaps using? Telmap keeps crashing. I really miss the S4 Google map Nav software.

there is a definite difference in the back cover material between the white one and the black one. The black feels less like plastic and more like "fake" leather. The white just feels like hard plastic.

I'm using Sygic, it's a paid app but we'll worth the money. You get free lifetime map updates and no extra costs for using map navigation.

Sygic runs very smooth on the N3, which is one of the reasons I decided to get it.

For roughly R400 you get access to all Southern African maps. You can install it as a trial version to see if you like it or not.

Hi guys, my note 2 took a fall yesterday. The glass is cracked all over the screen.

I decided that I want to upgrade.
On gumtree there there are a few good deals for sealed phones.

My dilemma is basically that I prefer a black phone.
There are two in the same price range. The n9005 is white and I could get a black n9000.

At the moment I am not too bothered with flashing. I've never flashed since my desire HD. I guess I'll only bother with a spare phone. What are the other differences like?
The important thing is battery life I guess? Any difference between the two models in that regard?
I don't care much for 4k recording and I am on cell c so I don't think lte will be very beneficial if at all.
Another option could be to just take the white one and get a black s-view cover?
Thoughts?

rather check on carbonite for a note 3
much safer than finding one on gumtree imo

Just installed Auto WiFi / 3G Switch which will enable 3G when you're not connected to Wifi and disable 3G when you reconnect to WiFi. You always need to have the application running though, so I also downloaded AutoStart (No root required!) to start the app up when you boot your phone.

Dude, Android phones have been doing that automatically since Pa fell off the bus

Garmin Navigon is free to Note 2 and Note 3 users. Download it from the Samsung App Store.

Is it better than Google Maps?

I've installed it but to tell you the truth, I can't remember when last I had to use a GPS.

I don't think it is. Google Maps is fast and intuitive, not so with Garmin the last time I used it about 7 months ago on the Note 2. But not a thoroughly examined opinion

Is it only on my Note 3 or does Evernote really use a lot of battery power?

The only reason to use it would be if you were out of signal range

For those finding their battery a little on the lite side...

I'll prefer the N9005, because it uses the Snapdragon S800 quad core processor, which is better (IMO) than Samsung's octa-core. It has better developer support, and I believe it runs Android better. Samsung's octa-core is not that well optimised.

Though the difference is probably very minimal, whichever you choose will be fine.

Thanks. I managed to find a black N9005. So I'm happy.

Will have a look there first next time.
I try to be extra cautious anyway.
Luckily the deal went smooth.
I just registered the phone for adh via the app, everything seems fine.
I opened the box and checked everything before I handed my money over.

This looks very rugged and ****. I bought the cheap body glove flip buy it is irritating me to no end lately. So now I am going bareback again. I missed the feel of the curvaceous lines in my hand.
