I just got my note 3 yesterday and I'm struggling with whither or not to root now or wait a week to make sure I don't need the warranty
Are there any issues I should consider while I'm weighing the decision
My phone with out root is like a car with out wheels but I also don't want root and find out the hardware is faulty

Take the plunge and root the device! I purchased mine 2 days ago, bought an unlock code and rooted the device. It was a WIND Mobile version which had LTE crippled (since WIND only supports a MAX speed of 4G). I installed the Telus firmware (ROM) and enabled the regional carrier settings to enable the LTE radio band. I have no regrets!
Well went to download cf auto root then i see to check for multitouch issue and find out my new baby is sick
That leaves me with two questions
1 is there a fix
2 will it get any worse because as it is it doesn't bother me but if it were to get worse who knows

My Note 3 from Telus came region unlocked. I sim unlocked it same day. But i do not have multi touch issues. It registers all 10 fingers and when moving all 10. If u shell out lots of cash best get the best possible. But if it doesnt bother u. Take the plunge. Its worth.

Well i didn't shell out anything it was a gift
As i don't play games on it i decided to go ahead with rooting
Not much in the way of custom roms or mods for my model as of yet so i chose lidroid
I liked his work on the n7100

Hello,
I have s3 on Verizon and I will be moving over to att soon. I want to know where the correct root for att s4. Reading all of threads has me overwhelmed.
First thing I would root then install custom recovery back up and finally select any Roms only for att.
Thanks!

Right now buying an s4 from att will have the MF3 update on it, and right now there's no known root method for it unless you already had the phone rooted before the update. I'm running the non-rooted with MF3 and its been really good but then there's been times where I want to root just to tether. But the S4 is really a great phone to have with the 13 mp camera I could of never taken any pictures like I have with my iphone. Great speed, battery life, SD card slot for more storage also can replace the battery quickly.

Ah, darn. I hope there will be root methods soon. Thanks letting me know. The s4 is coolest , all the things can be done without root is good.

This is not for sure as there is obviously a large amount of s4's sitting in warehouses and stores that were shipped before the mf3 update. So I would just make sure that you turn the phone on for the 1st time without the sim inserted to prevent the push update to mf3 then root/install recovery and flash a custom rom. Chances of you getting an mf3 phone now after only a week of it being out is very slim.

Ive read some posts were ppl wanted to exchange their phones for the other version. Ive noticed my phone acting up recently (rooted MF3) It randomly reboots, the home button acts up and today my phone was off which revented my alarm from getting me up. All of these aren't huge issues but if it will get me a replacement phone on the other version than its worth the time. How would I go about asking for the other version (not even sure of the other version is even available) I'm assuming ATT will ask why I'm requesting the other version.

I don't think ATT is going to give you the other version just because you ask for it
What I'm saying is, my current phone has been acting up for a while but I've dealt with it. My issues most likely will fetch me a replacement model. If it all possible I'd like to get the other version so I'd like to know how to ask. I'm still going to call them regardless about my issues.

Most refurbished phones are shipped with the latest version. The best way to go about it is to tell them that your work uses an application that is not compatible with the latest software and you need a device with MDL. Chances are, they will not be able to help you, but it is worth a try.

Got my unlock code for my G2 last / night. It was network lock and a bigger pain in the A** then usual cause the person who gave me the phone didn't pay the phone off so it got locked.
Well during the unlock process I kept having issues so I went into my SuperSU app and instead of hitting temporary unroot I hit full unroot. Don't have a computer with me and i won't have access to one for a bit cause I am sleeping in my car at the hospital cause my dad got a hella bad infection.
So is there anyway to root the G2 by just flashing the latest supersu zip like I do on my nexus 5 and 4 and 7 and a few other non nexus devices

Hey all I was just wondering if anyone is having problems with receiving calls. It seems to happen more and more lately. What happens is the phone rings and I answer it but I can't hear them and they can't hear me. The phone then disconnects. It doesn't matter where I am so I don't think it's a phone network problem. I travel all over the place as I'm a truck driver. It seems to happen more when connected to a Bluetooth device but now it's starting to happen when not.
I'm am rooted and at present running on stock. It doesn't matter if I'm on stock or a custom ROM it does the same thing. I'm really regretting getting this phone and ready to go back to my DROID RAZR MAXX HD. I like the phone its blazing fast but it has issues which I've asked about before. I bought this phone on the Edge plan and did line swapping to keep unlimited data. But I'm ready to throw it in the garbage or sell it real cheap. Or starting all over and leaving it unrooted and see what happens. Really wanted root so I could tether when ever I want. Any suggestions?

Rooted and stock here with zero issues. Maybe hardware issues?

Looks like I'm going back to my Motorola and throwing this in the trash with the tech support and replacement device issues. This will be the last Samsung device I buy.
RAZR is a great phone. Sorry you had issues with the Note. Did you see this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680962

Yes exactly one of the horror stories I'm talking about
Well I Odin back to stock and still having the same problems. I'm headed to Verizon today to see what they say. Hopefully I get lucky and don't get a bum replacement device.

I sold my note 3 back in January because of connectivity and phone quality issues ... been really missing the spen, multiwindow and sceen size as of late. Was thinking about coming back to the N3 but then I see stuff like this and remember why I left [emoji20]
May grab a note 2 instead ...

Hey guys.
Not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I've got to find out if it's just me!
Updated about 2 weeks ago to 4.2.2 via OTA and my battery life has dropped drastically.
The one thing I've always loved about the note series is the massive battery and the note 3 didn't disappoint until recently.
The phone used to last anything upto 20 hours with fair usage but since the update I get no longer than about 3-4 hours!
I'm not rooted and I've even performed a factory reset on my device and not installed any apps.
I've even turned cellular data off and left the phone in my pocket without even unlocking it yet still only 2 - 3 hours life.
Anyone else having the same issue or know of any solution?
I appreciate that downgrading back to 4.2.2 isn't possible but surely there must be something else I can do?
any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Note my screen shot of firmware version for you guys to compare.

Are you serious, from 20 hour to 3-4 hours? That is very strange. I am still on 4.3 but waiting for 4.4.2 for my region, what region version are you using?
Yeah can't believe it either. I've had to use a second phone just for work purposes.
I'm in the UK with an unlocked handset. Just received the update OTA.

Im having the very same problem. There are various posts on the net about it on various forums but there seems to be no definitive fix. Very Odd because it definately is affecting a large number of people - but here on xda - dev there dont seem to be too many?
