The Dave Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Remember that time when you didn't act like a jerk? Neither do we. I guess you just make up "forum etiquette" and "good practices" as you go. Kind of ironic that your post comes off more jerkish than the person you are attacking.

Fraydog Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I want to make it clear here I speak for me in this post and not for the other mods and writers at S4GRU. Android Police has done very good reviews in the past. If people have an issue with the work David Ruddock has done, contact him directly. I'll just say reviewing devices is not an easy job and leave it at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiWavelength Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Shots fired!!! Kind of ironic that your post comes off more jerkish than the person you are attacking. Worry not, guys. The person responsible for that post is just the resurrected form of a recently banned member who cursed out the staff in The Forums. He will be dealt with shortly.

AJC1973 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Samsung is pretty good at blocking this for sprint. It may work at some point and it may not. its a world phone its not blocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because the internet attracts idiots with too much time on their hands like a moth to a flame. Until the goverment institutes IQ based screening before allowing breeding to occur, we will be overrun much like in the film documentary, Idiocracy. That, and no triband and no beer make Homer go something something.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dave Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I imagine with Sprint's high turnover rate, they want to keep their phones locked down in hopes that a customer wouldn't potentially find it easy to bring their phone to another carrier.

AJC1973 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Apparently Sprint thinks there's a point, or they wouldn't go to such lengths to prevent it. i meant i dont understand the point of making a sprint phone work on tmobile buy a tmobile phone if you have tmobile.. back when only a few carriers were subsidizing phones or you could get one phone on one network only i see how that seemed usefull but these days flagship carriers rarely get exclusivity anymore and if they are its for like a few weeks...

Yuhfhrh Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 After more testing, this phone has the best LTE radio compared to ones I've used (gnex, htcone, gs3, gs4, gn2) I am able to pull 8mbps down and 3mbps up on a -118dbm signal. I just haven't seen that with other devices. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read on different forums that apparently Android 4.3 has issues with wifi connectivity in different handsets (Note 3, HTC One, N4,.....)......

gilmikalian Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have noticed that it is quicker to drop a weak WiFi signal than my note 2. Couple of times, when in my house, the phone has switched to 4G. This never happened on my Note 2. I do seem to be pulling in 4G better than the N2, however.

Yuhfhrh Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I just had a 17 hour day with varying signal, three hours screen on time, and I'm still at 56% battery. I even used GPS on the way home without the car charger. The Note 3 has consistently pulled faster LTE speeds than all other devices I have tested (about a 30% increase compared to GS4). The triband GS5/GN4 are looking to be amazing performers if Samsung keeps this up. I am beyond pleased with this device in case you couldn't tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
