After 1 year Note 2 home button is still solid. How about your Note 3 Home button?

Perhaps it's useful to include where the device is made. I know Samsung mobile devices are made in different countries and I've seen South Korea, Vietnam and pretty sure China and probably others. I prefer South Korea and haven't had any issues with past devices.
My galaxy note 3 does the exact same thing. Should I get a replacement? I have the N9005 Model . I bought mine in Australia

On the back under battery:
- Made In Korea by Samsung
- Made In Vietnam by Samsung
- Made In China (by Samsung)
- Made by Samsung: possible China or Vietnam. If you are in Europe, it's mean Vietnam. If you are un other like HongKong, Arab ... it's China!
Vietnam usually has worse assembly quality than China as manufactures just started recently to establish factories over there for lower costs.

As I know about S2, S3, Note 2 quality, Vietnam made are better than China made. Samsung factory in Vietnam also is the biggest in the world. But I think we need more examples this time about Note 3 QC
My note 3 made in vietnam. Home button is perfect
N9005 - Australian version Made in Vietnam. Button moves slightly, not as much as yours though.
My phone is made is Vietnam and my home button is not a tight fit.
Also, I was the first one to point it out in my thread here, which I created on 25th Sept after receiving the phone.
Just a heads up, there's already a longer thread on this same subject in the correct forum (i.e., Q&A):

Not sure if this should be posted here but I got a look at the vibrant 4g yesterday and it is pretty sexy. With minor changes like ffc and new back the phone doesnt look different but feels different some how. I took some basic pix of it nothing too much. Scored a 990 on quadrant. Ffc is not bad at all and rear camera has no banding issue like vibrant so this might be helpful for us vibrant owners. Please don't get mad at me for posting this in just sharing some of my experience.

I would also be curious what your opinion is of the GPS ? And how is the call quality ? Any dropped calls ?
Not to be rude, but seems the U.S. carriers getting the shaft from Samsung. Why is T-Mobile just now releasing the Galaxy S-1 w/4G, which is based on last Summers technology, but Europe will get the brand new next generation Galaxy-S-2 beginning of next month. WTF Are we U.S. customers going have to wait until Summer for the Galaxy-S-2 to show up here ? And Europe will get it 4 - 5 months ahead of us ?

Europe has always gotten phones much much earlier than the US, nothing new here. That's why you get a whole year warranty (vs 3-4 months) for example. Also take a lot longer to get FCC approval than most European markets
Wont be able to tell you guys about gps n calls til next week (launch date) the phone I had was a live demo didn't even have inception movie on it yet. Samsung is having an event next week hopefully I get picked to go so ill have more info.

Hi guys,
As you may know, there are two concepts related to the "country":
1- What country the Note 3 has been made for. This info is related to CSC (region), and can be obtained by using some app, e.g my app Phone INFO...
2- In what country the Note 3 was made. This info is related to the Samsung's factory location. I see some pictures of Note 3 that has a label "Made by Samsung" or more detailed likes "Made in COUNTRY by Samsung" (picture attached below). So interesting if we can know in which country our Note 3 was actually made.
Any clues? May be we can get this information from IMEI range, S/N range? Thanks for any suggestion.

US model made in China here, battery also assembled in China from Samsung parts, but where are you going with this? The parts are made all over the world, the final assembly is mostly done by robots.
Look here:

Can you put your S/N into the website http://sndeep.info/en and see if it show "made in china"?
Just to make sure if this site show the correct info.
Thank you.
Any idea?

It shows Tianjin, China , Nov 2013, clean, I bought it around BF, seems just about right.
Is that site in Russia? It only shows 2 language options: Russian and English.

Thank you. And it also shows "Made in china" in the back of the phone, right?
You can also use my app Phone INFO (link given above) to check for the manufacturing date and compare.

I have a T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy Note 3. I dropped it slightly and the whole thing shattered, LED screen cracked as well. I am looking to purchase a replacement and I see original ones on eBay but they were taken off of the CDMA versions of the phone (either Verizon or Sprint). If I were to purchase one, would it work on mine?

I'm able to do it myself. I just wanted to know before I purchased one.
If they are as generic as stated, then yeah no reason you couldn't do it yourself. - It isn't an easy feat from what I have seen though. - Best thing to do would be email Samsung or a phone shop and ask if the screens are indeed compatible for all models just to be safe.
I'm not able to find a original samsung screen replacement for the Note 3. Anyone know of a legit shop or site that sells them?
Never purchased one myself, but just did a quick search on google.. this place looks okay, dont take my word for it though, i did not research the seller. They are advertised as OEM parts though.

As you know our Samsung Galaxy S6 has payment feature called Samsung Pay, similar to Apple Pay through the use of various NFC technology and receivers.
Perhpas we can discuss anything about SamPay here including country availability, reliability, operations and etc... :highfive:
So far this is what we know ...
"Samsung's Senior Director of Product Management, Shoneel Kolhatkar, said at a GS6 press event last week in New York City that Samsung Pay will not be available for the initial U.S. launch.
"This will not be ready for launch, from a go-to market strategy, but the technology and hooks will be in place, so that it's future proof," Kolhatkar said.
In other words, we don't know when Samsung Pay will be available, so it could be a while before we know all of these nitty-gritty details. "
- CIO
From the Samsung press release back on March 1st:
Samsung Pay will initially be available in the United States and Korea this coming summer and expand to other regions, including Europe and China with Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.

Scheduled for September in US and South Korea.

The one thing im worried about is how the device will handle with NFC having to be on all the time to be readily accessible to use Samsung Pay?
I leave my nfc on all the time. Most phones come with it enabled and on. There is almost no battery affect from. NFC

There's a root method that doesn't trip knox.
It was inside the box where manuals are stored.
The box had an icon of a case to my surprise, when i opened, there is one.
I watched several unboxing video and none of them had.
Exynos. EMEA
I got one. I'm using it right now.

Exynos but it's Globe locked from the Phils.
it really does depend on region.
in the US almost no flagship phones ever gotten free cases or preinstalled screen protectors. samsung only started doing the screen protectors this year.
I believe recent oneplus phones are the only flagship specced phones with US warranty one can get that comes with a free case? Maybe some of the asus ones too.

International versions tend to have them. My OnePlus 7Pro had a clear case. It's pretty cheesy but hey if you don't have anything at least you start with some protection, right?
Oh and the film over the screen isn't much of a protector. Sure it will prevent micro scratches from dirty fingers at the beach (and the film itself will show horrible scratches, like deeper grooves at a level 3!) but in no shape or form will it prevent shattering/cracking from a face down drop on a sidewalk.
I'm assuming only International version gets this and not US?

Exynos, Poland, no case
Depends on the region.. we got it in india.. other Asian countries also have them I guess..
I think only third world countries get a free case. Latin American version also comes with free clear case
F/DS version came with it... But it isn't much good on a black phone. The one that came with the S10+ was a harder clear version and they was better for a glossy phone IMHO
I didn't get one ?. Exynos version unlocked (puchased on samsung.com) SM-G975FCWGXEF (note10+) 512Go.
They mentioned a case in the package list on the product page in the samsung shop when i purchased the phone.
I got one, but I change to a case with transparant back to show aura glow
Exynos version, Indonesia region. Got a clear case and a screen protector. Didn't bother to install the stock case as I got a much fancier clear case for the phone
Yes in Thailand
