Help for low sound sprint Samsung galaxy note 3 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Unrooted, & unfortunately still bloated; the sound is so low even when turned up full that I can hardly hear the caller & have to frequently ask them to repeat themselves as if I were deaf. I don't even try music or books. PLEASE GIVE A GIRL SOME HELP!

Could be the area you're in, weak connection, on most calls I have the opposite happening. If you have NAB and have Wi-Fi try Wi-Fi calling and see if it clears it up...If it persists after that could be a hardware issue and you should take it in to Sprint.

i did try wifi calling for awhile, but that didn't seem to help and was only available whenever i was near a friendly wifi. i tried a booster from the playstore but that was totally ineffective. i guess from lack of response, i should assume the only recourse is to root this device. i just haven't had the time to study the information on how to and which roms, etc were available that appeal to me. i've had Galaxy S3 & 4 for so long the Note was a real switchover.
But thanks for your help.

Not sure which build you're on but you could try flashing one of the stock files and see if that does the trick.

No you can not, you need a custom recovery.
I have a mod, if you decide to root.

You don't need a custom rom, just need root and my mod.
I would recommend fre3 rom though. It's very solid and my mod works perfectly with it.

[Recommendation] "Shush! Ringer Restorer" app to time silence mode

I highly recommend this awesome free app to all users. Basically what it does is that if you mute your ringer or press VOL- all the way. The "shush!" app triggers itself for you to set a time before the ringer is auto-restored.
Great layout and easy to control. I used to forget my mobile on silent in my pocket and miss important calls. But now with this gem I estimate how long I need the mobile to be silent and all done slick and easy.
The timer can be controlled using the VOL buttons or by touching the circle in rotation motion.

same here. one of the first free apps I re-download after a format.
Agreed, Shush is awesome! Have you tried Silent Time? Its another good one. You tell it what times you want the phone to be silent (work, school) and you dont have to remember to silence or restore, its done automatically. And you can set exceptions if there is someone you want to be able to get hold of you.

It was never meant to be a conversation app. It was meant to be good tasker. That's it.
If you want to do that, download Skyvie.

5 + 5 = 10 brruuuhhh :laugh:
After saying 'Hi Galaxy' about 10 times I gave up and just hit the mic button.
From that moment on almost everything i said / tried to asked followed with "I didn't get that".
It does work well when you ask it to search the web tho..

I tried it with a friends S3 to mine and it said it was saving it to some directory, but honestly I never looked for it.. on the note side I could never get the beam option to come up when they were back to back.. made the noise and vibrated, but that's all...

Alarm nag

Every time I snooze my alarm, I get this notification nag as an ongoing notification, and there seems to be no way to make it go away without a reboot. Any body else have this or know how to make it stop or go away? Clicking on it does nothing-no app is opened and it doesn't dismiss. As it's ongoing, trying to swipe it away does nothing. It's dammed annoying too.

I have the same problem. I have tried numerous things to make it go away but nothing works except a phone restart. I run a Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon stock rom and rooted, android 4.1.1.

Do you have location alarm turned on, by chance?

No. Snooze on one, snooze and smart alarm on another.

Try turning off the alarm section in the voice commands from S-Voice, if i remember correctly there are options to disable certain features, if not thats most definitely an S-Voice notification, i was getting that All of the time until i just disabled s-voice..
Damn didn't realize that option was there. Bet that takes care of it, thanks.

Should I exchange this note 3 for this pathetic battery life?

Wifi, sync, gps are all off for most of the time. Power saving mode is always on.
I am only getting 2.5 hours of screen on time. Just Web browsing, no games.
Android OS is taking 46% of the battery, which had been the case for a week now. I factory reset the phone 3 times already not it didn't change anything.
I installed a battery monitor app few days ago, find out that under android os, something called w1_bus_master is the main cause but I can't get any info about it.
Maybe the weak 3g signal keep draining the battery? But if I turn off the data at night and kill all the process and the battery only drop 3%.

Try a factory data reset

Since you have a weak 3g signal I'm assuming you do not have 4g in your area. Have you tried putting the phone in cdma only mode? It's under the connections tab then more networks>mobile networks>network mode. Also force stop Google play services.
