Trouble with recent note 3 update

Hey guys i have a telus note 3 sm-N900W8 Canada
I did the most recent 38mb or so ota update that turns our keyboard dark blue to black.
As i kept using it over time i noticed that my phone gets hotter than usual in unusual circumstances. For example my phone never heated up when playing fruit ninja prior to updating. Also it seems my gf also noticed it. She was surprised to see my note getting hot.
Its uncomfortable as this was never an issue.
I have not rooted yet so i am waiting. If anything i will perform a factory data reset.
I am wondering though...
Has anyone come across this issue as well??
Thanks for any replies!

The update you took is dmj7.
Try using the engery saving mode to prevent your CPU from getting that hot.

Thanks for your suggestion I will test it out.
Do you or any one else know a way to go back to the most stock firmware?
I am unsure if factory data is suffice, normally I would flash but I am trying to avoid Root for now.
Thank you

Sorry to say this but dmj7 contains a new bootloader that will block you from downgrading to any earlier firmware so you are quite stuck...

Help?? Update Mj3 to Mj7

Hi! My nlte 3 SM-N9005 is running Mj3 and its quite unstable at some times.. can i flash a OTA in recovery to get Mj7? Its rooted and knox is 0x1 so dont think of that. I would like to get some stability up and running! Flashing update with Kies? Would that work? My phone also stays at bootlogo in 2 minutes before bootanimation appears.. please help!

what about this?
Kies tells me that i can update my phone but it might be unstable. because it runs modified software

Will loose root

Anything else than root that i will lose?
Will it be stable or not?
Can i just re root then?

It'll be stable, I had major issues on MJ6 with apps stopping working etc, obviously I couldn't OTA update and it was a major annoyance. So i plugged it into KIES and updated through there, even though it told me it may have issues or not update due to modified software.
It worked fine, and my phone is stable, battery life is good and I just used CF-Auto root to re-root it again (I too had already flagged 0x1)
you will defo notice the improvement tho.

Yup sure as sure can be, and what KB said.

If you're worried because Kies said its unstable, don't be... Samsung is covering their ar$er by putting in these disclaimers....
And the best way to root is by using Mobile ODIN Pro to flash MJ7. You will keep root and the MJ3 bootloader. Not sure if that makes a major difference but it sure helps if you have the old root friendly bootloader...

I updated and it worked! My phone is no longer draining the battery! It boots right up! Wonderful!

One more question! When Kitkat arrives? Will we be able to update through Kies on 0x1 knox status and modified software installed?

Well.. now my phone takes 2 minutes to boot again. It might be TWRP... because it boots fast before i installed TWRP.. but after installing it.. it takes 2 minutes! What should i do? Anyone else experiencing this problem? Everything else works fine!
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Looks like a TWRP issue then, maybe try reinstalling TWRP or removing and seeing what happens.

Updated to Mj7 pushed from Samsung OTA.
Stil not stable. Almost every phone call a reboot ?

[Q] Unfortunately FlashAnnotate has stopped

Hi, i just got my new Galaxy Note 3 (European model sm-9005) and everything is working fine except the s-pen function "screen annotate".
Everytime i try to save or share the screenshot i have written on with the pen, i the message "Unfortunately Screenannotate has stopped" appears.
Also using other s-pen functions cause similar error messages.
I already completely reset the phone and tried several languages but it didn't help.
I hope someone can help me out, thank you!

Dats extreme! I had the issue one time. Flashing a custom ROM fixed it. Now i'm on a stock ROM, still works great. cheers!

Did you update your firmware at all after you got it? What firmware came with it out of the box? There has been several stock updates OTA fixing many issues...

Hi Guys,
did flashing the original ROM help? Did anyone try it? We are having the same problem here (after upgrading to new firmware).

Well, it was my friend's phone, he got mad and sold it because of this problem. Anyhow I am not familiar with ODIN, we tried to reflash using Kies, which said that it didn't support firmware reflash of Note 3. Ha ha. What else one could expect from Kies.

Soft brick N9005 please help me recover

Sorry if the question has previously been answered.
I have N9005 and tried to flash a ROM.
I have tried to flash using Odin on my PC, as I have previously used this successfully.
On this occasion it failed after partially flashing.
I have tried kies and kies3 both without success.
I suspect the solution may be simple but I am new to Samsung Odin kies etc.
edit fixed with help
I am familiar with adb and fastboot commands if these are useful.
Grateful for any help to recover a working phone, don't mind if I have to wipe phone data

Plug into KIES and do an emergency firmware recovery.
Or if you can get into download mode, fly over to djembay's thread and grab one of his images and flash via odin.

Thanks for your reply
I tried Kies emergency firmware recovery without any sucess.
I will try Odin with the stock rom you suggest.
Can I select any ROm from djembay's thread ?
the one I have tried is N9005XXUDMJ7-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX-FREE-ODEX-BL-FREE, is this ok

What firmware are you on currently? Do you know? Bootloader etc? - is your KNOX already tripped? -- the ROM from that thread WILL trip it just so you are aware.

But yes if you are happy with the firmware being MJ7 and KNOX being tripped then you should be OK to try it.

Can't send sms after lollipop update

Hello guys!
Just updated my Note 3 OTA last night, to Android Lollipop.
Ever since, I am able to recieve SMS but not to send. All of my messages remain in a pending state. I had to restart my phone so i can send sms. ??
All stock apps, all stock firmware. Phone was working fine with Kit Kat. The SMS Service Center number is correct.
Any ideas?

Anyone? ?????

Shouldn't be anything to do with Lollipop upgrade, but still as you done the update OTA I will suggest you to wipe everything and do the update manually, via Odin I mean. I never did trust OTA method of upgrades.

Thank you for your reply. Pls kindly give me the link on how to do that.

Have you tried clearing the cache and data of the Messages app?
(backup old text first, they'll be wiped. You can use 'sms backup & restore' (app, check google play) for that.)
