Galaxy Note going to get the same features as the S3 with ICS update?

Thats my main question... Cause I really want the Galaxy Note. HUGE 5.3" screen is awesome, but I love the new features coming to the S3, like wireless charging, or taking pictures @ the same time as recording a video. So if some features from the S3 are coming to the Galaxy Note I will get the Galaxy Note cause I love big Screens!

Wireless charging? that require hardware modifications so it is up to you if you want to add that yourself using one of the guides that you can find by searching xda.
About the software, a lot will be ported to the note eventually but don't expect anything to come out of Samsung. They won't be able to sell the new galaxy s3 if you can find most of its features somewhere else ie in the note.

Never going to happen. As the first reply suggests, it would be marketing suicide for the s3 if Samsung gave an older and cheaper product with already brilliantly unique perks (Note) the same software as their latest product (s3).

wireless charging needs hardware mod or something in the backplate to work
So a big no.

Sammobile just posted first S3 rom. Hopefully full TW port should happen soon

Damn... Ok thanks guys that does make sense since tehy do want everyone to move and buy new devices! I hope someone is able to port the Camera over!

You just wait my friend i will do it. Wireless charging for note.

Question is what kind of wireless charging is on S3. If there's some kind of dock then this is useless.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

from what ive heard
wireless charging is only 6inches in radius
not that fancy ^^
i think most other s3 stuff could be ported to note and nexus

Leaked Note 3 firmware

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/09/13...test-firmware-for-galaxy-note-3-lte-sm-n9005/
Looks as it has some very nice features. What do you people think?

It could be awesome if someone manage to port it to our devices :victory:.

Will be cool to see what devs can extract from this package and get working on note 1. Maybe a better keyboard? New browser? Faster phone app? Camera?

The problem is that dthe Android firmware is'nt the same as the note 1, it'll be difficult to impossible to get some features working on the note 1 like the camera app.

It really freaks me out how you people love new bloatware. BTW all that new "features" can't work in a N7000 because it probably takes all the horsepower inside the Note3. Be happy with your Note and if you need more...buy a new phone.
3GB... OMG this Sammy is going nuts

3gb is already going to be on low side, historically speaking. Within a year you have 4gb so it may seem much but its really not

Sorry but i really need to know what to buy...So what do you think??

You really need to know what to buy ? Well ain't that cute.
There are 50 million reviews on the Web of all the newer phones and you still want an opinion.
And now you'll decide on 2 opinions which you will get here, if. Interesting.

I don't know why did you pick this Note 3 forum to ask your question, I guess we shall believe that you are confused between the Note 3 and the LG G3?
Well if that's the case then all I can say before buying the Note 3 I was in exact same situation. I was liking the G3, the screen to body ratio it has is really nice, the design is appealing, Knock code is good, OIS enabled camera, curved back is easy to hold and handle, and that display, well it isn't Note 3 class, but still it's QHD (which I personally find meaningless though). Also I personally believe that any UI is better than TouchWiz. But then I came across these two topics,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/crackgate-real-cause-concern-t2890331
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/problem-phone-coverage-t2923043
Also there's the over-sharpening issue of display, which I don't know fixable or not. And how much custom support does it have? Does it have a good kernel? If custom support matters to you that is.
To keep it short mate, LG is still not Samsung, they might be making a lot of progress, maybe at faster rate than Samsung did, but as of now if you want a complete and polished package then you might wanna go with Note 3. Also IMHO, if you can utilize the S Pen then that thing alone can kill any device without it.
Now your choice, remember this is Note 3 section, so if any comments are to come it will favour the Note 3, the opposite will happen if you had asked this on G3 section, that's quite normal, but the above opinion of mine is a completely unbiased one. If I didn't like the G3 I would not have wasted two weeks of continuous reading about it.

If you've got the money, consider the Note 4.

I don't think the note 4 is worth much of an upgrade. CPU OC and firmware port can achieve what the note 4 has to offer. Other than the camera.

As an upgrade from a Note 3, no, it's not worth it at all.
But as an entirely new device coming from something different? I think it is.

The Year 2016.. Are You Kool With Your Current Device?

Hello All..
Can you believe 2016 is here..
My Note 4 running the Rapture ROM is ( and will continue to be.. ) Heaven On Earth for me as far as, my needs in a Cellular Device are concerned..
But.. what about you? does the S7 with it's possible return to having a Micro-SD Card slot and the incredible Snapdragon 820 CPU Engine give you justification to invest another $700.00 - $800.00 into the Latest & Greatest?
Have Mid-Level devices reached a point that , they have enough horsepower to suit your needs?
For You.. Has your Galaxy Note 4 run it's course?

I'm good with my note 3 and 4 atm, note 3 on darth stalker and note 4 on kyubi rom dx heavy debloat. I used to go years in between devices before the note line became popular, now with the note 6s sure return to sdcard I'll most likely support it when it releases.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

honestly yes I enjoy my note 4 and the DOK2 firmware has made my T3 feel much better than DOG did. I am planning to keep it until dev stops for it. I am starting to worry about my tablet Z though it is getting real slow after its update to 5.1.1
as far as the S7 goes no.. TBH and I cant believe I am saying this but until companies like Sammy and Sony and HTC provide updates for devices as long as that A company it will be hard for me to justify spending that much on a device.
Thankfully the devs keep many devices alive but still manufactures should in a sense stand behind there products and make people want to say YES my next device will be from X I have had great experience with them. My original T got the 5.0.1 update and it turned into a turd. That made me very concerned for the future of our phone, thankfully DOK2 which should have been here sooner did improve things for everyone on T and T3 from what I have gathered so far

No I hate android but I hate OS X more. I wish I would have taken more coding classes when I was younger so I could develop Windows Phone Apps. I LOVE the WP system and just how they designed everything.
If I didnt have a side job that required me to use Android or OS X I wold be rockin the WP.

No no no. This piece of garbage is last Samsung bloat ware I will own. Vanilla Android is the answer for me from now on. I know I know, root, de bloat and custom rom and it's great. No it isn't. Stop fooling yourselves. Samsung is as bad as Apple. Give me my pure Android please.

Yes

If there is no microSD in the next Note, which there probably won't be, then I'll be moving on to a larger screen phone. Huawei has been showing off their 6" Mate 8 which should be announced at CES in a couple of weeks, and it looks good. They seem to making an effort to try and get their products into the US, and their recent products have been well designed.

i will be holding out till the sd820s start rolling. The sd810 just does not feel like much of an upgrade. However it will be a nexus or surface phone that i am going to swap to. Till then i will flip flop between cm and tw roms till i find something that suits me.

I will be going back to nexus. Got the note 4 on a whim, its a good phone for normal people. But I regret getting it. I hate how Samsung makes 8 versions of the same phone. Development it always so fragmented.

I agree with this 100%. I personally dont think it should take an act of god to flash international or unlocked firmwares/roms. I would love to turn my carrier note 4 into an unlocked and get the international update from Sammy not one that goes threw T-mobile

You see, I was once young and foolish. just kidding. To each their own I guess and you and your kind are probably why these manufacturers keep pumping bloat ware ridden phones every other month. I don't look for an operating system to excite me. Give me an OS that runs smoothly, conserves power, and is easily upgradeable, let me be in charge of excitement. I will make it exciting.

Im good on stock 5.0.1 COG2 rooted and debloated running good and no issues. Wanted to try DOK2 but seems like to many issues and root is not up to par in my opinion..Happy New Year

Yeah I plan on staying with my note 4. I like my IR blaster for 1. Also the time are cool my 128 gb sd. And basically I'm not that impressed with the new devices out there . I also see so many new cases out there to tally change the look of my device. . So all I'm getting is the gear S that's al I need .

Yep until note 6 comes out with sd card slot. If not i am going elsewhere.

I am for two reasons: 1. Lack of better options, and 2. I just got a warranty replacement this past week and being more selective about the apps I install, running a new ROM, a fresh battery and my trusty 128 GB micro SD have increased my overall opinion of the device.
It is a bit disappointing that there's still no competition for the N4 with a micro SD and removable battery (well, arguably the LG V10 I suppose) at this point, but I'm pretty happy with the refurb N4 that I just received.

The Note 5 failure was helpful to my perspective. Last month, my wife took over my Note 4 and I could have bought anything I wanted- I looked hard and long, and bought another Note 4.
I think we've hit a wall. I don't see another smartphone on the horizon worth diving into my wallet for. The only thing that will perk my interest is a screen over 6 inches on a unit with a removable battery and SD options.

Still loving my Note 4, and still nothing that entices me to upgrade. There's a rumor of a 6 inch variant of the S7. If that happens, I think the Note 6 would also be 6". That would be nice, but I'm not sure it's enough to make me want to upgrade. These phones are expensive, so an upgrade has to have substantial improvements. My Note 4 still has a long life ahead of it I think.

Right now I'm running [DOK2] TEKXodus HYBRID N4 URv5 12/03 NOTE5/EDGE/S6/N4 LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 > TEKHDway! Rom and I'm loving it. Best Rom for the Note 4 910t I would say (In My Opinion).

Time to say goodbye to Note 4 :(

With a heavy heart, the time has come to say goodbye to my beloved Note 4 community. I still don't want to part ways with it, but it would help me offset a partial cost from the Note 7, so selling it on Swappa. I already bought the Note 7 and while I think it's a very good phone, it's still missing few things that would have made it a complete phone like the Note 4. Life goes on and have to move on. The Note 4 is my favorite phone ever, and has served me well for 2 years so that's the reason I am emotionally attached to it.
Thanks to all the kind Note 4 developers and users, you have made this a wonderful place to be for the past 2 years.

I love the note4. I have a note 7. I keep my note 4 as a back up, and a remote.

Let's hope your Note 7 doesn't go kaboom...

Note 4 all the way!

*poof* phone bursts into flames.. news at 11.

I just got mine about 3 weeks ago for just under $200 USD. I'm happy as heck with my purchase and will probably buy another one in a few years as long as the bootloader remains unlocked.

You guys realize that ALL Note 7(s) have been recalled right? Wouldnt it be easier if they had removable batteries?
Also you realize they are all BL locked right? MOre like time to say good by to custom roms and kernels. :S

What about the N930F (interational) or N930U (US SIM-unlocked)? Are the bootloaders locked on these variants, too?

N930U still has a locked bootloader.
N930F does not have a locked boot loader but cannot do VoLTE or Wifi calling. Also obviously Tmo will not cover the phone under the PHP protection etc.

note 4 still rules, note 7 explodes, take care with that. Regards.

Keep the Note 4.
7 is a bad decision both from design, marketing that ultimately affected buying decision.
Where's that 6gb ram they promised?
Why did Note 7 become a less edgy S7 Edge with no stylus? Where's that cutting edge technology we all enjoyed from Note 4? Where's that promise of premium $999 or $1,000 price point to separate us note users from the iphone and Galaxy S kids?
It all went downhill ever since the news of Sammy chairman banging prosties made headlines in South Korea.
These guys need to stop being cocky.
What's left in the market now? S7? crap... I'd rather hit the AAPL camp. Been a Note user since Note 2.
So many letdowns with 3, 5, now 7? How long do i have to wait for the next best thing? Im gonna buy another note 4 as spare unit to get me by the next few years.

Good choice,. I'm also thinking in OP3 but Blu products are raising my eyebrows. I recently bought a 60$ Blu R1HD in amazon and TBH that phone is rocking. I'm thinking in the Blu Pure XR - which is 100$ less than OP3.
I've been a Samsung fan but there are many options - and cheap ones - out there.

True true and true. But doesn't change the fact development is next to dead for the note 4. All the good developers moved on and we have never had any official Support from cm for their roms. And the people that compile them unofficially for us leave hella bugs unfixed which makes it a waste of time since you just switch back to tw 2 days later. Still thankful for them anyway but yea. Development is dead.
