Hello, I currently run with my Garmin (GPS) watch, a nano and no phone because the Note 3 is too big. I want to just run with one watch that will be able to track my results and sync to mgt phone when I get back to the car.
A camera should be a huge plus as well.
Thanks in advance.
Shane

You do not want a Gear Fit.
Rumors all over the web says in 2 months Samsung may have stand alone watch, maybe ideal.
I think there is stand alone watch now, not available in Canada so I do not know much about it.
Two words... battery life.
FYI.
I can scream, at everybody that says a Note 3 is too big, for me is is just right.
I do not put $750 devices is my pockets, I have a pouch and I love the device.
I'll keep a lookout for the standalone watch. Thanks Astrodigital

Since the anticipation of getting my galaxy note I've already noticed a few instances where I would LOVE to have one already. In general, I have this habit of writing random crap down on paper, and folding the paper up, putting it in my pocket, and losing it later. I'm a pack rat, so if I don't lose them, the papers just build up, even though I don't read them. It would be so handy to just have them all stored in my phone.
I'm looking for some specific examples here. I think this would be kind of fun to talk about.
Specific examples for me:
-while watching youtube videos about Starcraft strategy, I would want to write down the build order on the note, then alt tab into the game and try it out, references what I wrote on the note.
-Quickly writing down my schedule at work, so that I can program it into my phone later when I have time.
-writing down what my coworkers want me to go order for them at random restaurant i go to
I hope that I find myself in tons of situations where I have to use the pen. Only one I can think of is to pass time at work drawing random pictures.
Using the s-pen to take notes while on conference/speaker phone call . I think that will be handy.
Also I understand smemo (?) can be synced with evernote of which I'm a big user.

If you get the format down, you can send your handwritten note directly to you s planner (google calendar)
Also when getting a PDF or document, you can take a screen shot, sign or mark up the document and send back. Very convenient.
You can also do a voice recording for a note, handy when driving.

I have started a channel on youtube for video game related content. Deliberately being a jerk in online gameplay. Example: running up behind someone on Call of Duty and kill them in some humiliating fashion. I play a lot of games in a night, and having my phone nearby to jot down what map, date and what it is I did would help a lot.
I could do the same with a notebook and pen, but come on... S pen. ;-)

I just installed mint to give it a try and after categorizing this months transactions I'm curious about how it knows I'm an alcoholic and gives me a ridiculous bar budget. Lol

It thinks you drive a hummer and drink your breakfast, lunch and dinner so instead of groceries you get booze.

Lol yeah I drive a civic. I just put everything I buy at a gas station under gas.

Along with the compass, accelerometer, altimeter, etc. it also has a breathalyzer in the lower microphone port. Mine nags me all day to go get a drink, until I get home and can slam a few to shut it up.
I use mint, It is a little odd how they do some of the transactions, but once you customize it with each month it gets better and better.
Mint.com is a really great resource. I have yet to find anything better.
The App isnt half bad either.
Yeah. I have been using it since 2007. It's very useful around tax time when you want to see how much certain deductions are (for instance, the DMV). The app was horrible before but it's nice to see how far they've come.
Best application ever

Got one sent to me for free along with the Note 3. I know most reviews weren't that great for it, but I like it so far. If you havent tried it already, the Watch Styler app is pretty nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473558.
Install the app to your phone and create your own watch faces.

Even Kingsoft Office is better then this and is FREE - i have it, also bought via sale id quess for 0,25 - 2 years ago. This open my casual XLS files much longer - it really takes about 1minute to open 2MB file, when Ksoft or Poalris have it opened in 3 secs, moving in a file stutters most - UI is horrible, very little set up options. Did not used it too much but for that price doesnt hurt. Check HANCOM Office - Hancom really made HUUUUUGE step forward on how office suite on Android can look like. Also is much quicker - fluid handling within document, zoom in/out fluently....
In my opinion is build in Poalris or even free KingSoft are much better options.
Thanks, bought Office Suite. Blows junky Polaris out of the water.
Thanks for the info!
This app is worth it. I bought it last year when it went on sale for $0.25
Got this app for free on the Amazon Free App of the day. Have not used it much,
Documents To Go received a recent update and is currently the only one offering decent Bluetooth keyboard support.

a buddy wants to trade his note 3 for my g3, is it worth the trade?
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
Not to me its not. 2k display. HD audio. Form factor is just beautiful. I don't think I can go back to buttons on side of the phone lol. My last phone was a note 2 it was good but my data always sucked and grew tired of seeing Samsung's colorful cartoon looking icons. Oh yeah Knox.
My next phone is probably gonna be the HTC m9 after or m10 after playing with my wife's m8. That's depending what lg G4 or 5 does. If the rumors are correct about them adding a stylus to directly compete with the note, count me out. There's always nexus.

I can't see taking a step back being worth it. If you're considering it I'm assuming you're not happy with the g3. If that's the case I don't think you would be any happier with the note 3. I'm a Samsung fan myself and still couldn't see stepping down to note 3. Now the note 4 I would be willing to trade for though. Anyways good luck in your decision.

After much thinking. I've decided not to proceed with the trade. I am happy with the g3. For a split second there some features of the note series caught my eye. I decided that I like the features of lg a bit better than touchwiz. Thanks for both of your opinions.

Coming from a note 2 and now being on the G3 for 3 weeks, I don't miss the features of the note 2. I never used it as intended, I never used the stylus, no need for it and I review documents for a living. People that do use it idk how or why, other than to look cool and show off. I could never comfortably write on it. A 10"+ tab, sure that I could use but the note phone screen never worked well for me that way.
I like the G3, it was a nice change and upgrade from the note 2.
The idea of the stylus is very enticing right now. But not enticing enough for me to make the swap. Realistically, I don't know what I would use it for.

I tried to incorporate it but just never found a real necessary use for the stylus.
I got the note 2 for the bigger screen. At the time it was the only mainstream device over 5" I think. It replaced my tablet and a lot of my laptop uses too. But now I have a device with the same screen size and it's lighter and easier to hold and use. Plus I really don't mind the stock LG skin.
