            AnonD-337409, 26 Jun 2015Thats a FACT lol!Yes, it is. Google about Google's own Project Volta!

            If you aren't getting better backup in Lollipop then there's something wrong with the implementation of the firmware. It's Samsung's problem, rather than anyone else's.

            My backup IS ~25% better, along with plenty other people. XDA is there for FACTS, always!

Sometimes you dont always get warranty from ebay on phones unless it brand new. It depends on the seller. I was told when i bought my note that if i broke screen through my fault i would have to pay for to get it fixed. Thats not covered by warranty.

                      I finally got the lollipop update on the Note 3 (which was a nightmare to install - so much frustrations). After the update was done though, battery life improved significantly (haven't used it long enough to determine SOT, but each percent warrants a longer usage time though compared to KK, for example; it drained 10% in 1 hour and 30 minutes while on social media, which I find to be really good in fact), device feels faster and it looks a lot better also. If you get this update, then do it now! There's really no point staying on KK if the update is available.

It does not have a fan like PC, lap top. Difficult to quantify "screen on Time" but i have kept on power saver mode. Magnificent gestures are off and screen time out is 2 min. Absolutely no problems so far with phone.

                              There is an issue of IMEI going null/erased and one has to flash the modem of lollipop to get the phone working and get back IMEI

                                And also my apps keep crashing, app drawer slows down, phone slows down, ram usage has surged, wallpaper changes automatically to stock.
