Light bleed again and tegra 4

Hi my nexus 10 is on route from the play store uk as I can't get it in Ireland. I have to say i am really excited but all these light bleeding issues really have me worried. How big a problem is it. i can put up with a bit though. But for me sending it back to the uk is my worst nightmare I would love to hear something official from Samsung, on another note when I saw the new tegra processor video demo from ces I gulped tell me I have made the right decision. I really hope it's a big step up from my nexus 7

Difference between tegra 4 and nexus 10 will be minimal and you will get faster updates with nexus 10 so enjoy having features arrive to you first c:
Edit: also note that in the demo it's chrome browser vs stock browser. Stock browser is known to be generally about 50% faster

Some people just get over excited about light bleed. Only noticeable in a dark room looking at a black background ... I barely notice it. And just remember tegra 4 just came out it will b a while for a device with it to come out. And then a new processor will come out....

YouTube frame drops

Hi there,
I recently purchased a Nexus 4 following the price drop and generally speaking I'm very happy with it. I do however have one issue. When playing HD YouTube videos, there appear to be dropped frames every 5 seconds or so. This gives videos a somewhat jerky appearance and is particularly noticeable in clips involving slow panning. I did not expect this from a phone with a quad core processor. The video buffers fine and there is no apparent lag in other areas of the OS.
I am running stock Android 4.3. The phone is not rooted.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Quad core doesn't really have much to do with video playback smoothness. It may be thermal throttle. If the phone is getting hot, it might be lowering clock speed to keep the temperature safe. See if you get the same behavior on a cold morning, or with other video playing apps.

Thanks for responding. I've just tried the DailyMotion app and it is noticeably better. I'll also try YouTube tomorrow morning as per your suggestion. I do use a case with Perspex on the back. Could this affect heat dissipation?

Any case potentially could, though I use a pretty sturdy one and don't experience YouTube stutters. Are you running the latest YouTube version?

Yes I am. To be honest, the stuttering is pretty subtle but its one of those irritating things that you can't forget after you first see it.

I've noticed stutters on YouTube when the screen is tapped to bring up the buttons, when watching in HD.

Camera shutter lag or not?

Several ads are claiming 0 shutter lag on the note 3, yet say it's the same camera as in the s4.
My s4 lags (like my s2 did). S3 strangley had no lag.
Can anyone confirm?

I've read a couple reports saying the s800 might be using a Samsung sensor and the exynos is probably using the same Sony sensor in gs4. Hasn't been proven but evidence has been given, just not confirmed yet.

Any lucky people got one now and can confirm?

So, if you take a single shot it's instantaneous, unlike the s4?
Good news if so, I guess they do use a different Sensor in the N3.

Nah I just took repeated shots one after the other no lag at all quite consistent. This phone is a beast.

Have you played with an s4? Just wondering how it compares. I'm tempted by the note for a few reasons, the 32gb internal storage, the 3 gig ram, the s800, oh and the camera without lag
Might give my wife the s4 and get one

Just had a play with one in phones 4 u. Definitely not the same camera as the s4. 0 shutter lag indeed now to find one at a good price, may wait a month or so but prob end up buying one next week lol

This S4 camera lag thing has been driving me insane for the longest time.
I've got both the Galaxy S4 and the Note 3 ( octa versions ) and can confirm that there is no lag on the Note 3 like with the S4 camera,( takes 2 to 5 to 8 seconds to load sometimes ) and yes strangely the S3 doesn't have any lag either.
the Note 3 is BLAZING, even with all of the Sammy bloatware on it. :good:
Wish my S4 camera could run like this.(am using Perseus kernel , seems to have made the cam snappier on the S4 , will update after more testing )
Cheers.

From what I read when the s4 (i9505) was launched, the lag is due to a hardware design, something to do with the sensor/shutter speed. I don't think software could fix this or surely samsung would have by now.

Don't know about the I9505 but with the I9500 it seems to be a memory management issue( wrt how long the camera app takes to load after you hit the icon). If I clear the ram before launching the camera it opens up almost instantly. ( but we digress )
Sent from my GT-I9500

Ahh I think we are talking about 2 different issues. The lag I refer to is when you hit the take picture button. It's out of sync with the 'click' sound. The image on your screen changes by the time the picture has been taken. I seem to still get the actual picture I took in the end but it really bugs. The S3 and note 3 don't do it, S1,S2&S4 all do. I don't know if the note 1&2 do it too.

[Q] Second thoughts about a Note 3

I just ordered a new Note 3 from Amazon and it was darned expensive.
I have a note I which I have used consistently for the last year and a half and I have used it daily. There are signs it might be wearing. I even have some small scratches on the screen. I expect to use the 3 the same way. I loved my 1 but thought I should upgrade before it falls apart.
The question is will I see a significant difference in the 1 and the 3? Is the 3 worth the price
I will appricate any thought you have on this subject

Wait until you get the note 3 use it for a few days and decide for yourself amazon is quite relaxed on returns

I'm coming from Note 2 as well, only thing that's better is the screen, some other important things like battery life is worse for me. As well as stupid speaker placement, and KNOX. I'm not doing heavy tasks, so I don't notice any difference with the new CPU, RAM etc.

The battery life isn't much better than My N7100. However it's a 4g phone which up until now should have meant worse battery life than it's 3g counterpart. It's also a much faster processor and the screen has a much higher ppi and is significantly brighter. All these improvements and no sacrifices so far as battery life is concerned are pretty amazing to me.

One think that annoy the hell of of me is that if you try to use pattern or password for lock screen you will lose lock screen widgets, and voice commands.... Those only work with swipe option... Hopefully Sammy will get this fixed ASAP. By enough whining, that's the best phone since Nokia 6310i

If I had a Note1 and wanted to buy a new phone it would be the Note2. Nice specs, no auto-dimming of the screen like on the N3 and better speaker compared to the N3.

if the note2 was the beast, and you're coming from a note1, the note3 is the incredible hulk. my first couple of days, i was kind of like, meh, it's just an incremental upgrade, and honestly it is, but it has a lot going for it and i am liking it more and more and more. this might be the first phone i keep much longer than 12 months. i upgrade once a year, and i am not too enthused about the first generation of 64bit phones that will hit in the near future. between google keeping mum on 64bit android, oem's still keeping hush about their 64bit plans, the initial bugs from android aaaaand the vendors overlays, i wanted a phone that would hold me over. but who am i kidding? i'll probably still get another phone next year.

I had a Note 1 and I have a Note 3 it is the best decision I made.
Bigger screen.
Better pen
Faster processor
Been playing with it all day long and I am sure the battery will do another day.

I'm hating my Note 3 for one reason; the bluetooth music stutter glitch. This is the third device I get, I returned the first 2, and it still has the same problem! I did a factory reset and it didn't help

Yes, buy it!

It is a great phone, streets ahead of my Note 1.

[Q] Screen responsiveness

Has anyone else noticed lag in responsiveness on the screen while navigating through the phone, especially the browser. I even installed Dolphin Browser and it also lags. The touch isn't instantaneous compared to my Note 2. Could it be bloat ware slowing it down? I did check ram usage and it does seem high all the time.....

I don't have a issue with pink hue or any color problems. I think this browser lag is a bug that everyone has. I went into verizon store for the hell of it and both their model phones had browser lag. Same problem have to hit links several times etc....
