Part II.How to transfer files to Galaxy Note 3/Note 4 from a Mac computer?

If you are a Mac user and have a Galaxy Note 3/Note 4, you probably have already noticed that this Android phone does not seem to be accessible when connected via USB to the Mac. This is because The USB connection uses the MTP protocol, which is not supported by Mac OS X natively.

Therefore, you first need to install Android File Transfer and Galaxy Note 3/Note 4 USB Drivers for Mac. By following these steps you can mount the phone and move local videos, music and photos to Galaxy Note 3/Note 4 for watching on the go.

1. Install Android File Transfer on your Macintosh.

Galaxy Note 3 comes with a wider 5.7-inch, Full HD screen, a slight boost from the Note 2’s 5.5-inch display, but is thinner and lighter, just weighting 168g. It is between mobile phone and tablet, so can be called a “phoneblet”.

Galaxy Note 4 is the fourth instalment in the Note phablet series. It brings a much sharper, 5.7-inch 1440 x 2560-pixel (Quad HD) display, a powerful Snapdragon 805 quad-core system chip running at up to 2.7GHz, 3GB of RAM and a plentiful 32GB of internal storage in the basic model.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Battle Of The Phablets

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 is just around the corner but will it manage to improve upon the king of all phablets, the Note 3?

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 – like every other Galaxy Note before it – will launch just before IFA 2014 kicks off, alongside handsets like the Sony Xperia Z3 and new releases from Nokia.

Galaxy Note 4

The Note 4 is also likely to be one of Samsung’s last big launches of the year as well as its last best hope of causing Apple’s iPhone 6 some headaches in the all-important Q4 period.

Fortunately the Note 4 stands a good chance of doing so –– Samsung’s Note handsets are always insanely good.

KYM Reviews Editor Paul Briden called the Note 3 “a stunning handset with plenty of power, a great screen, decent camera and days worth of battery life. One of the best multitasking smartphones around.” All in all, he loved it. That seemed to be the general consensus and over the past 12 months no-one has managed to knock the Note 3 off its thrown as the king of all phablets.

With the announcement so near, we thought we’d compare how the rumoured handset matches up with its predecessor, the Note 3.

Note: As always with these comparisons, we can’t guarantee all the information on the Note 4 is correct. It’s all from rumours, leaks and general speculation. It’s all a bit of fun and comparing what we think the handset will look like to the already well-established Note 3.

Design

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is rather large in the hand, it weighs 168g and the dimensions come in at 151.2mm long, 79.2mm wide and 8.3mm thick. But this is to be expected: it is a phablet, after all. It's also worth noting just how much bulk Samsung has managed to shave off between iteration One and Three of its genre-defining Galaxy Note series.

Galaxy Note3 Back

Galaxy Note 4

Leaked images of the Galaxy Note 4 published online earlier this week show that the overall design of the handset will remain largely the same. All of the ports and buttons remain in the same place as they were on Galaxy Note 3. The S Pen is still at the bottom of the handset on the left hand side and all the slots are in the same places.

S Pen


Another big change to the hardware comes with the addition of Samsung's Galaxy S5 heart rate monitor, which, in this instance, sits right next to the LED flash on the back of the handset, similar to where it is on the Galaxy S5.

The biggest change we can see in the leaked pictures is to do with the edging around the side of the handset, which in the context of the Note 4 will apparently be full on metal. Samsung has taken plenty of flack for its obsession with cheap plastics, so the inclusion of newer build materials this time around, while late, is a nice addition to an already hugely anticipated release.

Display

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 came with a 5.7in display with a screen resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. That’s a Super AMOLED touchscreen with 386 pixels-per-inch. For its time it was an amazing display but times have changed quickly and now displays are available with much higher screen resolutions and more pixels-per-inch.

Galaxy Note 3 Left Bottom

Take the LG G3 – it uses a 5.5in QHD setup, which, if you’re counting, equates to a blistering pixel density of 534 ppi. LG was first out of the blocks with a QHD display, but Samsung has all but confirmed it will follow suit with the Galaxy Note 4 in September.

As of right now, there are two schools of thought about the Galaxy Note 4’s display size: the first suggests it will be a 5.7in QHD Super AMOLED panel. The second, more controversial theory says it too will be a QHD Super AMOLED setup, but claims the size will be shrunk down to 5.5in – the same size as the LG G3’s, ironically. Camera

On the Galaxy Note 3 there was a 13MP rear-facing camera. It also featured autofocus and an LED flash. Other features included dual shot, face and smile detection as well as image stabilization alongside many others. Video quality comes at 2160p at 30fps and 1080p at 60fps whilst there’s also a 2MP front facing camera for selfies.

At the moment it looks like the Note 4 phablet will feature a 16MP rear-facing camera. Rumours suggest it will also feature optical image stabilisation and a dual-LED flash alongside all the features the last camera had. Video can be filmed in 2160p at 30fps and 1080p at 60fps and there’s still a 2MP front facing camera.

2MP front facing camera

Software, Storage & Battery

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 is now running on Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The Galaxy Note 4 is rumoured to come with Android 4.4.3 KitKat already on board plus the new version of TouchWiz. The redesigned TouchWiz (or Nature UX), which introduced a new, flatter design, debuted on the Galaxy S5 and will likely be augmented further for use on the Galaxy Note 4.

It’s currently unclear whether there will be any additional S-Pen features available with the Note 4; no doubt we'll hear more about this at launch. One area the S-Pen could be put to use is inside S-Health –– could we see somekind of gym, sports logger added that ties in with Samsung's line of smartwatches?

Samsung Lines

Storage wise the Note 3 is available in either 16GB, 32GB or 64GB versions. There’s also microSD support for cards up to 64GB as well. It’s thought the Note 4 will offer 16GB, 32GB or 64GB storage options alongside support for microSD cards up to 128GB.

Nothing is currently known about Samsung's plans for the Galaxy Note 4's battery. Performance on the Note 3 was well above par, so any refinements – as well as the inclusion of things Ultra Power Saver Mode – could equate to some pretty HUGE uplifts in battery performance.

Conclusion – What To Expect

  • Better Display
  • Improved Imaging
  • More SD-storage
  • Bigger Battery
  • S-Pen Refinements

How to Put and Play MKV with DTS Audio on Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Do you want to know how to transcode and convert MKV with DTS sound to play on Galaxy Note 3? This article will explains how to play MKV with DTS file on Galaxy Note 3 with quickest and easieast way.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will launch with a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1920×1080, a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 quad core processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage with a microSD slot, a 13MP camera, and a 3,200 mAh battery. It’s a beast of a phone, and its S Pen active stylus makes it even better. I got one now and I do like this phone a lot but I watch videos (football) on my phone a lot and I just want the bigger screen.


Generally speaking, your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will have no problem in reading the video and audio formats listed in the following table.

* Video Format Containers: MP4, AVI, MKV, 3GP, WMV and FLV
* Audio Formats: MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, AC3
* Playback/Recording: 1080p Full HD@30fps, 720p HD@30fps

However, there is no information about the .mkv video file or the DTS audio support. If you would like to play MKV videos on Galaxy Note 3, you may need to convert the MKV file to something that is within the Galaxy Note 3’s compatibility to handle, such as MPEG-4/H.264 MP4 format. Here is how.

Free Download and install the App: Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate.It works well in converting MKV DTS videos to Galaxy Note 3 supported video formats. The program is easy to use and produces excellent results. Conversion speed seems fine and the converted videos look decent on  Galaxy Note 3  as original. Just download it and follow the steps below to realize the way getting MKV mvoies with DTS Audio to play on Galaxy Note 3 smoothly. The Mac version is iMedia Converter for Mac.

Step One. Add MKV videos to Galaxy Video Converter Ultimate.
Click "Add Video" icon to add your source mkv videos, or drag-and-drop them directly.

  
 
Step Two. Choose target video format.

Click the format bar and choose output format for Galaxy Note 3, here “Samsung > Samsung Galaxy Note(*.mp4)” is a good choice, which is a format specially designed for Galaxy Note 3 with perfect HD video quality.

 
 
Step Three. Customize video specs. (Optional)

Click "Settings" to open profiles settings window. Here you are able to customize video size, bitrate, frame rate, sample rate(Hz)…all the specs can be fixed manually. A personal tip: the higher bitrate you choose, the better video quality will be; and you will get videos in larger size.

Tips: DTS to AC3 5.1 Availability - Set advanced video and audio settings.

Click on "Settings" button, and the following window will pop up, which enables you to adjust video and audio parameters including codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. Here you set Audio codec as AC3, and adjust Audio sampling rate and Bit rate to fit your player. By the way, 5.1 sound is available in "Channels". I find that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss.

Step Four. Start Conversion.

Go ahead and click "Convert" button to get MKV with DTS Audio to Galaxy Note 3 conversion started. After a while, you can find the generated file for Galaxy Note 3 quickly via "Open" button.

Now sync the converted mp4 movies to Galaxy Note 3 for convenient playback. In this way, you can enjoy your favorite MKV with DTS Audio on your Galaxy Note 3 wherever you are.

1. For hard-coding MKV subtitles, just choose desired language from the drop-down box of “Subtitles”.

About Samsung Galaxy Note 3

The Note 3 sports a 5.7-inch, full high-definition screen, a slight boost from the Note 2's 5.5-inch display. But despite the bigger screen, the Note 3 is thinner and lighter, measuring 8.3mm and weighing just 168g.

The screen is as bright, colourful, and responsive as we've come to expect. You can do everything with your fingertip, as on most tablets, but the S Pen stylus gives you even finer control.

Under that slablike screen is a beefy 2.3GHz processor with a whopping 3GB of RAM. All that power harnessed to a giant screen could empty the tank with alarming alacrity, but a 3,200mAh battery is there to ensure there's plenty of grunt left when you need it. And the Note has plenty of speed, too: it has 4G LTE for connecting to the Internet at high speeds, with support for the fastest category 4 4G.

Supported Video Formats For Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 supported video format:
  • Codec: MPEG4, H.263, H.264, VC-1, DivX, WMV7, WMV8, WMV9, VP8
  • Format: 3GP(MP4), WMV(ASF), AVI, FLV, MKV, WebM

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 supported audio format:

Codec: MP3, OGG, WMA, AAC, ACC+, eAAC+, AMR(NB,WB), MIDI, WAV, AC-3, Flac

CES 2014: Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Tablet Announced Ahead Of the iPad Pro

Apple is expected to introduce a bigger iPad Pro soon but Samsung may beat the Cupertino tech giant with the recent launch of the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2-inch Android tablet.
It appears that tablets, like smartphones are trending toward larger screens as Samsung just introduced the largest Android Galaxy tablet in the market called Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. The tablet is rolled out alongside the Tab Pro 12.2 at the CES. The Note Pro features S Pen functionality similar to the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 and the Galaxy Note 3. The device which will be available in LTE, 3G and WiFi variants is expected to launch Q1 worldwide.



Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Specs And Features

The size and weight of the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is notably different compared to the 10.1-inch version of the Samsung tablet. Although the bezel is trimmed down, portability is not the best feature of the 12.2-inch tablet. The tablet which weighs 753 grams is built as a coffee table device or tablet for presentations and conferences in the office.

The larger tablet comes with a larger battery with 9500 mAh, "super clear" WQXGA LCD panel, dual-band WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac MIMO, 8MP sensor rear camera and 2MP sensor front camera, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and IR support. The LTE version promises a quad-band HSPA+ with 21Mbps max speed.

The Note Pro 12.2 is on the latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS but instead of the standard TouchWiz home screen, it features a new UI called Magazine UX consisting of three customizable screen panels: office, personal and social networks and media. It is pretty much like the My Magazine feature of the Note 10.1 2014 but the number of screens is streamlined and one is assigned as the default screen that pops up in Home.

Samsung maximized the extra screen space of this tablet with the multi-Window tablet allowing users to simultaneously manage up to four tasks on top of the ability of the device to add pop-up windows.

Another major firmware improvement that this humungous tablet boasts is the remote PC that allows users to access PC or Mac remotely. A new UI allows users to drag and drop files between the Note Pro and Mac, which is pretty useful for productivity when users are away from their computers.

It’s been widely rumored that Apple is planning a similarly sized iPad that would be almost a hybrid between their Macbook line and their iPad line. Samsung getting it’s feet wet in this size and form factor could prove to be valuable research for arch rival Apple.
