Think it was just a stability update. Haven't noticed any changes.

Just bought mine today and the update came through. To be honest I am a little worried as the tablet gets hot even with minimal use. Anyone else noted this?

Mine does get warm pretty easy, but it's quite normal with the tablet being so thin. Nothing to worry about imo. It cools back down pretty quickly too.

Weird though as my note 3 stays nice and cool. Having said that this one has a snapdragon whilst the tab has an exynos cpu.I saw an article where a Russian with this cpu got a bend battery cover due to overheating.

I had the tab pro 8.4 with the snapdragon before this, and that also got really warm depending on what I was using it for. I believe the Russian guy had a faulty unit as no other people have had the problem.

No worries, there's more info about the firmware in the other thread anyway. You made more of an effort by putting up the firmware info. I was just being lazy

All settled down now. I checked battery log and it turns out Google+ was busy scanning my 64gb a card I had previously stuffed full with photos and films ready for holiday trip which it catalogued and uploaded. There is still a notified lag/stutter in the launcher. I guess a custom rom may sort this out. Otherwise quite impressed with the screen when viewing the pics from my full frame dslr on it.

Thats good. One of the first things I did was remove google+ as I never use it. There is minimal stutter and lag, but this is very common on Samsung products. They need a massive makeover on their front end imo. I do like TouchWiz though.

Just picked up my nexus today. One for the wifey too. When we both have live wallpapers, my phone stutters moving from page to page but hers doesn't. Also in Quardrant, on the part of the graphics test that has a moon orbiting a planet or whatever, my phone will only do like 5fps and stutter like crazy, whereas hers does about 50fps. She is on AR and I'm on AOKP with franco kernel but got the same results with AR with stock kernel first so its not just the rom or kernel I don't think. I also tried enabling/disabling the forced GPU rendering with no effect.Any ideas?

You don't need a warranty replacement. The live wallpapers aren't optimized for ICS and neither is quadrant.

Yes, same one. So is this a hardware issue? What exactly is having trouble? The GPU?

I think it's hard to say for sure. It could be some rogue apps running in the background on your phone that is slowing it down. I think that would be a more likely explanation than a hardware problem.

i read the whole thread. you hint here, you're flashing rom and kernel. i suggest you reflash whatever you're using, but doing a thorough wipe. or trying another kernel. the phone just came out and even though everybody says this or that kernel is stable and badass, basically they're all experimetal/beta on the fly with the constant updates.
Well I pulled the trigger today and upgraded to the s4. Pretty much identical to the S3 with minor differences. See ya all on the flip side.

SVDO is the only reason why I'm skipping to the next release, hopefully they'll add it back. But also because it's not that impressive.

Has any one developed an add on for S Voice. In the past I had a Iphone 4s and jailbroke it. Then added some files for Siri. When you launched Siri I would say load brain and Siri would be much funnier, and have great comebacks. Is their an android version?

If the GNote 3 looks anything like that I'll be buying one the 1st day it comes out.
The only thing holding me back getting the S4 is USB mass storage. Not sure why Samsung does not allow that.

Rumors say that it's benchmarks are lower Sg s4
Sent from my LG-P765 using Tapatalk 2
Benchmarks are double that of the S3. Battery is slightly better. My only complaint about the s4 is that sSamsung bloated the software so much that only 8gb is available on a fresh device. After removing bloat I was able to get it to about 9.5gb but that's still not much.
I only got the s4 because my daughter needed a new phone and I wasn't going to pay for another s3 when I can pay a little more for the s4 and pass down the s3 to her. I will still be around the s3 forum as there is 2 of them in the family.
As for the note if I am not wanting something that huge. Might as well carry a laptop or a tablet and put on Skype or something similar

"They also decided on sooner than expected retirement of Samsung Galaxy S3. Which may be a smart move, since for the average person, Galaxy S3 design and performance is not so much different from S4, and the former flagship may be cannibalizing some serious SGS4 sales."
This further supports the theory that Samsung's really going all in in marketing the S4...even by creating another variant!

I will not be upgrading. Eventually all the S4 tweaks and mods will be on the S3 maybe. This phone runs way to good to upgrade just for some faster speed. Yes the S4 had better hardware and everything but I don't see it worth the upgrade.

I think the only reason I would, would be for a S4 Zoom or Active.. But I hear the zoom has lesser specs due to the camera hardware. Still have 1.5 years on this contract though.

I hear that! As long as Devs keep building for s3, I'm not upgrading. I also read that Samsung may have over-priced the s4, which could hurt them if more people are buying their phones outright to avoid contracts...

Well, it didn't take them very long to get the better processor for the S3.... oh wait....
Good, maybe the prices will tank and I can pick up a used S4. Probably have to wait... I'm in no hurry though.
I like the Active, don't see the point in the Zoom. Might as well just buy a camera.
Hi guys I have a black g pad running cm11 which I'm very happy with BUT I also have a note 3 in black that I'm even more happier with.... So is it worth the upgrade to a black pro 8.4 ? I'm hoping there are users here who have made this exact jump and who could share their experience. Cheers guys.

I miss a lot of the LG apps but yes, it's worth the switch. The screen is far brighter (my biggest peeve with the gpad when watching movies). While I totally love my gpad and will miss it, the screen was an issue. The screen is bright and wonderful on the tab pro 8.4, as is the performance and battery life.
Same as cmscritic. I too loved my G Pad but the screen brightness (especially with movies) was a drawback to me. I also have the Note 3 and the Pro 8.4 looks just like a blown up version with new ui. Another build of Cm11 was released today and it looks like he fixed bluetooth so I'm fixing to give that a try. Go with the Pro , you'll never look back

I honestly don't know whether or not it works on any UK tab pro 8.4s. I know that there are 3 hardware revisions and the latest one definitely won't work (they have different kernel source for the USA vs. European editions) but otherwise the source code is looking the same. I'm going to try to get them all working soon.
At some point, I'll be asking for brave people to test builds that I can't myself test.
