[Q] New Phone Question

I've posted this thread in the Galaxy Note Section as well because I don't know where it belongs. I'm sorry for troubling you guys please can someone please please help me?
Hi Everyone,
I'm torn between buying one of the two super phones: Samsung Galaxy Note and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus / Google Nexus Prime.
I've done some research using Google about the phones.
ht tp://ww w.androidauthority. com/galaxy-note-vs-galaxy-s2-vs-galaxy-nexus-the-best-of-the-best-32011/
ht tp:/ /social-catalog. com/samsung-galaxy-note-vs-google-nexus-prime
ht tp:/ /versusio. com/en/google-nexus-prime-vs-samsung-galaxy-note
It is my understanding that the Note is superior from what I have understood:
1. Bigger Screen of the Note makes it really awesome visually
2. Marginally better resolution for the Note as well
3. MUCH longer battery life on the Note although it said it is because of the screen size which begs me to ask: does that mean in effect it will be the same as the Nexus Prime's?
4. Note will also get upgraded to ICS
5. Note and NP have both got great screens - Super AMOLED
6. Galaxy Note has a better camera
7. Galaxy Note does or does not have a MICRO SD slot? I have read mixed reports on this. But, I am assuming both have that option of expandable memory. Am I correct?
Given all this I am concluding that the Note is a much better phone.
Am I right? Or am I missing something crucial? I don't "have" to buy a phone right now so is there another better phone with quad core coming out? I don't want to buy the phone and then 2 months later or in Q2 2012 have a new Quad core phone come out.
What do you guys think?
Please help me out here

[Q] Galaxy s4 Focalprice

Hi! I'm not sure this is the right section of the forum to ask this but can anyone give the link on focalprice of an android quad-core smartphone that dimentions are almost the same as the samsung galaxy s4? So that I can buy cases that fit the replica?
Thanks!

Returning my Note 3 - Going to stick with the N2 a bit longer

For those on the fence about going to the Note 3 I thought I would share my thoughts and reasons for returning my Note 3 and staying with my Note II.
Exact reasons can be read in my post in the Likes/Dislikes thread on the Note 3 forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46416310&postcount=119 (didn't want to double post).
But in short I just love the Note II. IMO, the Note II is such a strong phone that the Note 3 is not that much of an upgrade.
It is all relative, but I thought others might be on the same page and appreciate the comments.

[Q] PROBLEM : HDC Galaxy Note 3 - Samsung Galaxy 1:1 Clone

Hello all,
I have bought a HDC Galaxy Note 3 N9006 1:1 Quad Core model.
The specs are:
MTK6582 Quad cores 1.3GHz Cortex A9+SGX544 GPU
Ram : 1GB
Rom : 4GB(Support TF Card up to32GB)
And i have a few problems with the device..
First of all, the biggest problem is the battery life.. The phone is on for about 1 up to 2 hours of semi-heavy usage. The screen brightness is set to the lowest one and still the battery life is really low. I dont know whether this is a software fault or the chinese battery is simply crap, so i dont know if there is any point in buying a genuine Samsung Galaxy Note 3 battery.
Secondly, i have an error on some of my apps saying that "Google services that some of your apps rely on, is not supported by your device.. ( screenshot included)" Does anyone know how to fix this problem on this HDC model?
Thirdly for some reason i keep on getting a message about roaming, ( i cant see the message fully, screenshot included) and i have to register my network again for it to disappear for a short period of time and then i have to repeat the same process again.
Lastly, i cannot update my youtube application and i get an error saying that i need to uninstall the previous version of the app. But the problem is that it wont let me delete the previous version.
I have searched everywhere to find the solution for this but i couldnt find anything, some say that a root will help but i have no idea how to root this phone, software wise etc.
I am new to this forum and im sorry if i posted in the wrong place.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, you are in the wrong forum, this is only a fake N9006! You should have also tried first to search about the same thing before posting again here!
Trying to install original Note 3 ROMs will very likely hard-brick your clone.
Your device however might be the same as the one discussed in this thread, so you should eventually look for more details there:

Mate, people on this forum own Note 3's, we have no idea...
Why don't you check with where you bought it? They should have more answers...
Otherwise, find a friend or person who has a Note 3 and ask to check...

Hate to say this, but your phone is a FAKE Note 3, not a clone.
If your phone was a clone, it would be identical in every way to
the real thing which would include the same specifications.
Clones are identical to the original Samsung Note 3, your phone
is nothing like the original except for the physical appearance.
As far as I know, there is NO such thing as a CLONE Galaxy Note 3.
Good luck!
