[Q] Lost my S Pen. Looking to buy a new one.

Hi All,
I use a Note 3 Neo 7505. I misplaced the S Pen and I wanted to buy a new one. I searched online and found S Pens only for the Note 3. Is it the same for Note 3 and Note 3 Neo?
Also, any idea on what the *best* price for this would be?

Lookwise they are the same. I guess the dimensions must be same too.

They should be the same but contact Samsung support and check if the OEM part# is the same for SPEN for Note 3 and Note 3 Neo variant .

What device did you ditch for one plus3?

I ditched moto x pure for this beautiful killer 1+3. My wife is happy upgrading from. One+1 to moto. So we both win..

HTC One M8 - Device dies at 40% battery left, trying to recalibrate hasn't worked at all.
I figured it was a time for an upgrade. I was sorely tempted to get the HTC 10 for the multimedia capabilities but at practically $1k CAD, I couldn't justify it. Especially when OP3 has comparable hardware with marginal differences for practical purposes.

A water damaged Galaxy S5, go figure. Wireless charging (because I don't know what else) keeps bloating my batteries as well.

I'm curious why? I can't pull trigger on 1+3 because S7 edge battery, camera and dimensions (narrower) seem better. I have an S7 flat.

I have been switching between an iPhone 6+, a OnePlus 2, and a Sony Z5 Premium Dual. So far I really like the OnePlus 3 but I've only had it one day. The Sony is a really good phone but I like the shape of the OP3 and the Alert slider that the Sony doesn't have. I'll probably carry the OP3 for a while before I considering switching again but I'm not going to totally ditch the Sony.

Worth upgrading to S9+ form S7 Edge?

Hi!
As you saw from my question I am wondering whether it's worth upgrading to S9+ from S7 edge or should I wait for the Note 9 or even S10? What do you think?
Also.. Will there be good development on this device? :fingers-crossed:

Well it was well worth going from my s7 edge to s8 plus so yes of course going to s9 plus is worth it.

i'll be upgrading to the s9+ from the s7e, mostly because my plan runs out conveniently on the 15th.
i'm not as pumped by the actual phone yet, but the size, screen and 6gb RAM and battery bump in the s9+ looks good and it will be great... until March 15th in 2020 when i'll get the Note 12 / T2 / S11 Ultra, whatever that flagship is.
I had thought about the iPhone X/ Razer phone, and in an ideal world, i'd get either one instead, but the razer is not available locally and getting updates or repair/support for grey market phones is abominable in ... Australia.
(And, i'm not really invested in apple tech, despite having a now 5 year old ipad, and an iphone 4 that technically still works ... and basically everyone i know, has iPhone or Samsung)

s9 arrives later in the week, the s7 edge is still a perfectly great phone, until my daughter smashed it.
any excuse to get a new gadget.
Rom advice? I see Alexandr is makiung dev base, may stick with that stock feel, yet the freedom to use magisk modules. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

S7 and S9 are great ,but i prefer the S9 .

It's all worth it .

Is the Galaxy S9 fully compatible with last year's Gear VR SM-R324?

Hi,
I try to figure out if last year's Gear VR is fully compatible with my new Galaxy S9 and get conflicting information on this topic. Some sites say that the Gear VR for Galaxy S8 (SM-R324) will work with the Galaxy S9, e.g. on Android Central:
"First, you can tell just by the look of the device. If the headset is black and comes with the motion controller, then it works with the Galaxy S8 and therefore will also work with the Galaxy S9. Second, you can check your headset's compatibility using your Gear VR's model number. You can follow our how-to guide to find your model number. If your device's model number is SM-R325 or SM-R324 then your Gear VR will work with the Galaxy S9."

However, there is an article on cnet.com that says:
"Samsung's newest phones, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, didn't debut with any new VR hardware. They do work with the Gear VR. However, they only work with the Note 8 model released in September last year, not the nearly identical Galaxy S8 version that debuted in March that same year. We confirmed this with Samsung. The issue is all about the fit.
Apparently, the design of the S9 is different enough that attempting to put it into an earlier S8-compatible Gear VR, released in early 2017, could damage it. Samsung advises using the Note 8 Gear VR, released in September 2017, for the best fit."

Has anyone tried putting a Galaxy S9 into a SM-R324 headset? I'm asking because the SM-R324 is more favorable than the latest model (SM-R325), but I don't want to damage my phone in the process.
Thanks for your help!

STOP! All you need is one of these!
Genuine Samsung Gear VR4 2017 SM-R325 Type-C Adapter/Connector - GH98-42239A
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C59BRLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zogbBb3MCJ5JM
A lot cheaper than a whole new headset! You will need a stanley knife or craft knife to shave a small bit of plastic from the adapter but this is easily done and will be apparent when you compare the old and new adapters side by side.

I had the same question just a few days ago searched on the internet for it but couldn't find anything about it apart from a tweet from samsung australia which confirmed that sm-r324 should work just fine. So i bought it anyway since it was only 30 euro's for me. That article of Cnet also made me hesitate buying the r324 variant but I've tried it and can confirm that it works just fine. It fits perfectly and does definitly not damage the device. So yes you can buy the r324 variant no need for the r325 version. At least for the normal s9 (not sure about the s9+ but doubt it's any different)

I have a sm-r324 that worked with samsung galaxy s9+ until I upgraded to android 10.
Now, when I plug in the phone Oculus does not start and all that I can see (if I open the app manually) is the picture in which there is the indication to insert the gear vr (but nothing happened).
I have uninstalled all oculus app and service and inserted again the phone into gear, then I heard the sound e installed again all the app suggested (default procedure).
Do you know if there is some trick to make reworking the gear vr or is it better to install again android 9?
Thanks

Galaxy Watch with Other Branch Phone

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Watch paired with a Samsung Galaxy A50. The phone is broken recently and I want to buy a new one, but what functionality/performance would I really miss if I use a phone from another brand? I am mainly looking into Huawei and Oppo.
Thanks.
