Samsung Galaxy Note 3

[Piesang]

Havent gotten it back yet. Should probably just buy the real one and stop messing with the beta.

I never had that problem yet. Bought the Full Version in October when I got the Note 3.

Don't be such a cheapskate!

You use your keyboard every day and SwiftKey is da bomb.

Just buy it.

1) Disable LTE. Settings > Connections > More networks > Mobile networks > Network mode. Make sure LTE is not connected. This is a biggie! You don't need it for 95% of the time when it's on, and you probably can live with surfing at 3G/HSDPA speeds. Turn it back on if you need to stream Yoot00bs.

2) Pull down the notifications centre and find "Power saving" in the icons at the top.

3) Disable "Mobile data" from the notification centre where possible. I have Wifi at home and at work. This saves A LOT of battery life too.

What icon is displayed when you connected to lte, or is it just h+ icon in top right?

Since LTE is disabled, it shows H+, 3G or E, depending on where I am.

When i have connected to LTE (CT city centre or OR Tambo) it shows 4G, but i have it disabled so only displays H+ / 3G...

I Must Say H+ is quite quick too!!

Most definitely, i haven't found an instance when i wished i had LTE all the time. HD Youtube videos generally play with no buffering / lag.

yeah definitely! to be honest i am a bit afraid of LTE since i don't want a HUUUUGE bill at the end of the month.

just don't assume if there is 4G/LTE (or whatever) that there will be H+. In my area its either Edge or 4G. When I had my non-LTE S4, I would hate th times my wifi would be off, but now with my LTE Note 3, i don't care.

Does it not feel smoother and faster to you.?

4.4 can't really be faster than 4.3, if 4.3 was fast already, although there might be tweaks here and there. Both have 'Project Butter' which refreshes the display at 60fps, so smoothness should be the same.

Battery does last longer. Be sure to do a battery pull. I did it twice, just in case.

Does your RAM show 2.7GB?
