[Q] Note III Vs Ingress! - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For those of who play ingress you will be aware of the heavy load it gives to the phone/battery.
I was wondering if any of you have tried this game yet on the note 3? How has it been?
I`m just curious really, looking forward in trying this out when I upgrade but considering my options at the moment.

I get mine today hopefully... I average about 100k in AP a day which translates through to about 2-3 battery recharges for a note 2.
Will let you know when i have it in my hot little hands

Ah nice timing I guess! I wonder also how the "gps" is with the game. I suspect the screen will be great for this.

One hand mode should also help with the game and with stopping "burn in"

Got my Note 3 the other week and it is a great phone, except the GPS. Coming from the S4, which has a terrific gps, the game is almost unplayable on the Note 3. The position is drifting although I am standing still or freeze when I am moving. Forget about neat deploys.
I actually sent my unit for repairs. Hopefully they can fix it. Right now back on the S4.

Ouch, Gps is a biggy too and bad placements can be a nightmare. Here is hoping that is a one off.

Just to give another opinion:
I played on Saturday and Monday with the Note 3 for the first time (Verizon model), and I had no issues whatsoever. GPS was awesome, battery life was pretty good (~3-4 hours of Ingress probably but not totally sure) and the game (Broot) ran smooth as butter.
So maybe it's possible some models or some units have GPS issues, but I haven't run into any. Granted, I also haven't played in known GPS-cloudy/floaty areas just yet.

I've had some time with mine now and have found the GPS to be quite flaky.
It's pretty much unusable in a moving vehicle, in the CBD around big buildings Its almost impossible to get lock.
I'm hoping we can tweak this because I still *love* the phone.

I`ve managed to see this in action with the Note 3. First off - excellent device for this game.
Interestingly the GPS in the 1st week was good, then it became gradually more laggy with position so the player would "catch up" as he was moving to the edge of the portal. However, reading another thread which highlighted a similar issue with Google maps; installing GPS status - get the aps state download/calibrate and apparently the issue has now gone.
Perhaps some of you have tried this or not but I would give it a try at least as it appears to have solved the odd drift movement.

My gps ground to a halt today, could not get lock at all.
So I installed gps status but it couldn't get lock either.
So I rebooted and it got lock immediately.
It's been perfect since then.
See how it goes.

Fingers crossed this fixes it. A few of us are about to take the plunge so any feedback will be great on gps performance.

Have you guys tried disabling the "use wireless networks" option in the GPS settings to see if that helps with the inaccurate/laggy location?

It's been pretty good since my fix yesterday

vibrant accelerometer issue please help

There appears to be a problem with my accelerometer. It started to notice it when playing Homerunbattle3d. A few days ago, the motion was smooth. It was very fluid
Now, the motion is very jerky.
I tested the accelerometer using 2 bubble level programs as well with the same result. The bubble moved around with a jerky motion.
Is there a setting for accelerometer somewhere?
I'm not sure if my accelerometer is defective or if I messed up a setting somehow.
how do i fix this

Download android sensor data from the market.. run it. And try again. Definitely a software bug or this app wouldn't fix it.
I run it after every restart.. seems to calibrate the sensor.. its smooth as can be when fixed...
Can't believe more people haven't complained about this...
Man, it's something new every day with this phone, huh?
I hadn't even gotten into gaming performance / accelerometer issues. I've been stressing out over 3G reception / GPS and Compass being completely and 100% broken. One more thing to worry about with the ever-nearing Buyer's Remorse period running down...
I guess I'll go download some tilt games and see what happens. I'll report back with my findings.

try the homerunbattle3d both fun and great to test also the bubble level tool aswell
and thank you for recommending the accelerometer data thing it really help fixed the problem completely
I guess I should rephrase:
Any free games I could grab to test this?
I got PapiJump, and immediately noticed that something wasn't right.
I just finished wasting my time proving to some jack-off that there is an issue with 3G reception. Upon exiting SpeedTest, I put the screen to sleep and downloaded PapaiJump on my iPhone.
The controls worked perfectly, so I loaded up the Android version again, just to see if it was still wonky. Oddly enough, it controlled just as well as the iPhone version. I don't know if it somehow re-calibrated itself somehow, but the initial run was not a good sign: 'Papi' would constantly fly to the left, regardless of my input.
I guess I'll keep an eye on this issue and see if it was just a fluke for me.

This is the over statement of the day. How is 3G, GPS and Compass 100% broken? Granted some people are having some issues but its not as bad as you're saying. I have no issues with 3G and GPS. Sounds like you have a broken phone.
This is kind of off-topic, but then again, so was your rebuttal.
Really? Your GPS is flawless and 100% accurate without wireless networks and WiFi? I've had two phones now, with exactly the same issues. Google Maps thinks I'm in another city, and satellite lock takes ~5 minutes.
As for 3G reception problems...really? You don't notice anything?
Here I am, with what I would refer to as 'decent' speeds for my area. This is my phone, sitting on a table, with no human contact.

This is my phone, with only my index finger touching the device (propping it up with a single finger).
I guess it's possible that I might have two defective phones. I'm going to go ahead and say that it's unlikely. Feel free to replicate this test. As mentioned before: I'm using the silicon case with my device.
If you feel like debating this issue in another thread, feel free. Otherwise, let us get back to testing the rest of the equipment.
Are there any (free?) SixAxis games on the market, yet?

No free ones I know of.. and your speed drop is not normal. Most people lose bars not much speeds. I know I get awesome speeds even if bars drop and so do most people.. I'm not saying I don't believe you but 99% of people don't have that drop in speeds...
All in my opinion needing fixed is 3g bars how there's displayed, minor GPS fixes, fix compass, and now this accelerometer thing.. other than those I love this phone..

Should've stopped right there.
I have the same problem. And it was also with Homerun Battle 3D. Before finding this thread I would restart my phone, uninstall the app and not find any way to get rid of the issue. Android Sensor Data fixes it but I haven't tested it more than once.
I'm on the original rom that shipped with the phone. I have some lag but it hasn't gotten in the way too much. Anybody else having this problem?

I know the galaxy s line has gps issues but in gps test my gps sees 2-4 satalites but never puts them in use. Also my phone is made after oct 2010.

I seached and came up with this

and this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970
If you are having problems with the phone there are couple of fixes that will work. One Software, if you have KB1, KA7 modem along with a new custom rom you may have the software fix. The Axura and Jellette Roms seem to work better for me GPS-wise, but that just may be my phone. You may want to experiment and try out. The other is the mechanical... Look at KWKSLVR's post on how to fix. basically there is a spring tab that is supposed to touch a flat antenna in the inner plastic back cover of the phone. That is the GPS antenna. If it is not engaging fully you get spotty reception. My fix was to bend up and place a small piece of toothpick jammed in there to keep 100% engagement. Now every time I do a test sitting inside my house I get 10-15 in view and within 20 sec 5-7 lock. I just checked I am 6/11 and 10m error factor. This is not rocket surgery
Follow this and follow the fixes in the stickies and you will get good results.
Hi
I want to share my Experience about GPS issues, I bought T-Mobile vibrant from Houston through craigs list. I brought that phone to Pakistan and unlcoked it. Every thing used to work fine except the GPS which rarely saw any Satellite and in case if it saw few, connected only once or twice in couple of months.
I tried hardware fix - Not Worked
Tried Samsung GPS Resore - Not Worked
Tried LBS Test - Both Cold Start - HOT - Did not worked
I tried GPS Booster Trial - Completely messed up GPS (No satellite viewable) infact my gps.conf got messed up
I did few manual tweakings
created new gps.conf as under
NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=h__p://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=h__p://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=h__p://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

In LBStestmode
changed SUPL_server to supl.nokia.com on port 7275
changed Operation mode in application settings to MS Based
As a result my GPS started again with some improvement in lockings in 2 to 5 minutes outdoors
Finally I installed Navitel (navigation software) with Pakistan's maps, somehow out of the blue Navitel made my GPS to lock to satellite in few seconds.
Still if I use google maps it takes time to lock but with navitel I always get lock in less then a minute. Infact today I got locked on to 11 Satellites through Navitel which was simply amazing for me.
Thanks

A simple factory reset could be all you need to get it working. Had the same issue and after I did a factory reset it was working amazingly well. Good luck!

KWKSLVR's mechanical fix is one issue, so you could do that after trying the software fixes.
There are some other software fixes look in the bible for them.
Install this patch I uploaded, it is Master's GPS fix works pretty well I am always getting 10-15 view 5-8 lock 30-45 sec. OR, Get GPS AIDS off the market
This works for some as well I have tried and done all the above, it solves most of the GPS problems
Hope that helps you
Hard to take you serious when you say you looked for a GPS fix on XDA and didn't find anything.
There are two issues with GPS on the vibrant. Hardware and Software
If you running a custom ROM then most likely your software should be fixed. The latest modems and roms include very good GPS software compared with earlier versions.
If you are seeing sats but not able to lock then most likely you do have the hardware problem. I believe someone as already included a link to this fix.
I did both fixes and my GPS went from hardly working at all to useful with locks in seconds in doors or outdoor.

Screen Goes Crazy

I've had my Note for under a month now. I've been ever so careful with it. My heart skipped a beat when one day, all of a sudden, the screen just went mad!
I scoured the Web but couldn't find any other instance of this but the other day, in another thread, a few people have said that they've experienced the same problems. It's happened to my friends phone as well. I thought both of us were sold defective pieces to be honest but it looks like a global issue.
This is not just a case of screen flicker and screen changing colours on a white background. It goes haywire! Almost like the old television sets with their rainbow effect.
This has happened pre and post ICS; so it's definitely not a software issue. It has to be a hardware defect.
When I tried taking a screen shot of it, it just took a screen shot of the app I was using before the madness began.
It happened again last night. This time, fortunately or unfortunately, the screen stayed that way till I hit the power button. I had enough time to take a photo of it using a friends phone. Check it out :

+1 I don't use live wallpapers either. Phone's not rooted either. It's probably an issue with the graphics chip. And it seems to be a global issue and not limited to any region as such.

I sure hope you're right because the same thing happened to my laptop once. The screen started flickering this way occasionally and it the frequency increased. In the end, I was told that the chip and the screen needed to be changed. Luckily it was still under warranty at that point.
Just hoping the same thing doesn't happen to this AFTER the warranty lapses!
never experienced this.. i used ICS for 2 days, no sign of this issue back then.. and now im back to GB...
is this what they call pixel salad?
flicker or pixel salad, whataever you name, mostly happens when you end the call or call disconnection...the same happened to me and gone through the logcat and reproduced the same once again..

Honestly, I thought my friend and I were sold defective pieces here but as I mentioned earlier, from the kind of response this thread is getting, it's definitely a global issue.
My unit was manufactured in Vietnam. Bought it at a store here in India. It's probably a case of a batch of defective units. Samsung needs to take stock of this. With their over zealous selling spree, it wouldn't surprise me if someone at the quality testing team was made to look the other way. Conspiracy theory maybe but who knows eh?

Some issue found on SG Note 2 so far...

Hi,
Being using N2 for about 3 weeks. Below are some issue that i encountered..
1) During sleep to awake or lock screen to unlock screen, there is a white thin line of light flashes at bottom screen just above the home button.
Very fast, maybe just a sec.This happens sometimes and intermittent.And had tried many units of N2 and having same issue.
2) Sometimes when after wifi used or signal loss. When you return to normal signal using data network, the data network will not be
on automatically until you switch to airplane mode and switch back to normal mode, then the data network signal reappear.
So far it happen on both me and my wife N2.
3) Some area on the Samsung Qwerty keyboard is not so sensitive or not so accurate.
Among all the above, i hope all is nothing related to the hardware. Hope all of the above Samsung will help to address and resolve by software updates.
Anyone seeing the above symptom please reply to this thread
Thanks
1) nope it's never happened to me. Maybe you've got a faulty set. U tested many units and most of them got that? Hmm.
2) mobile data comes right back after I disable wifi. Was it like this when u first used the device?
3) are u using any sp? Matte type which is thicker in nature could be the cause as samsung recommends not to use sp

Hi,
For 1 and 2, most units happens. And also Samsung service inform me its software and will be resolved in next update.
Like I said, its intermittant.someone may have not notice it.

That's good with no problems. As I mentioned it happens to mine and my frens phone. Maybe the stock rom and kernel is different from my place and your place.

I'm on stock kernel and rom. Only No.2 happens to me.
Never experienced any of that.
At any given time Samsung can have a dozen "latest" ROMs and radio out for a single device based on region. OPs s/w could be different than what's on other people's phones. So it is possible the stock ROM/radio s/he's using could have issues where other people's wouldn't. It's happened on the Note 10.1 a couple of times already.
I agree with that.

Among all the above, i hope all is nothing related to the hardware. Hope all of the above Samsung will help to address and resolve by software updates.
Anyone seeing the above symptom please reply to this thread
Thanks

Have noticed number 3, but using SwiftKey on the d and x keys. It's intermittent though and very slight.

No 3 is my main problem. I dont like 3rd party keyboards, i prefrre stock one, but it is bit laggy for me.. Lag ia reduced when i switch to one handed keyboard mode..
Handwritten from my Note 2
#3 for me. it's hard to write fast while there are sensitivity issues. i tried almost all 3rd party keyboard and i still love the original keyboard from samsung.

In my opinion the Web Browser needs many improvements.

How many times did you exhange?

The thread title says it all. How many times did you return your nexus 10 before you received one that was free of defects? I have one that freezes once or twice a day and am considering the exchange process. Luckily I purchased through samsclub and should be able to just go to the store.
None!
Yes mine has light bleed, but on auto brightness in 3 months I have literally NEVER seen it in real life usage unless actually turn the brightness up to 100% and look for it. In actual fact its got better from when I bought it in Feb. As for the lock ups you mentioned, since the last software update and using Chrome Beta I have seen no locks or reboots in at least a month!
I expect your problem is linked to an app not the device itself.

I've tried removing most apps without success including chrome and location services. I guess running with no apps is the next step...
I havent done much research on which apps area causing freezes but I did not find anything on what I have installed. Some notible non-google apps that I am running are:
AiCloud, Amazon store, BankOfAmerica,Calengoo, Discover, File Manager HD, GooManager, GroupMe, Hulu Plus, iHeartRadio, IP Cam Viewer, Md5Checker, MightyText, Mobile Queue, My Netflix Q, OfficeSuite, Speed Test, Swiftkey, UberSync, WD Remote, WeatherBug, Wifi Analyzer, Wordfued, XDA
Once. My original had a sleep of death problem - new one doesn't
Zero
Minor bleed in the left but only seen at 100% brightness
Performance.. Rock solid. I've done 2+ Months without a reboot.

Sent it in for repair 3 times, finally gave up on the touch screen.
None. I got I in November. It's been perfect since.
None.
Had it since January with absolutely no problems other than the ones I have caused undervolting and tweaking.
None, I also got mine from sams club and its been working great. I was a little worried when I bought it because the seal was broken but I took it back And they said it was to check everything was there. They gave me a different one with a closed seal and were very good about it. I don't think it should be too hard to exchange it and MIME Gantt had any problems so I think you should switch it.

Zero. I have slight light bleed on the black light bleed checker, but it doesn't bother me at all. Apparently my Nexus 7 had light bleed too but I never saw it in the 10 months I owned it.
None. I have light bleed on the left but never would notice it in real world usage. I only know its there because I was told how and where to look. Very solid device, have had it since the first week of release.

I got mine from craiglist and have zero returns. I am satisfied with mine, but I got mine around march so idk maybe the quality was different from before than now.
i shure it is but dont forget the past and everytime ask for better ... they have the resources to do that .
nexus 10 its a very good product, very well designed but very badly build ..
i will try let others to write post relate to this subject because i m becoming subject of jokes for asking a normal thing for all of us .
Our money are important . Don t waste them for others mistakes and careless !

Bought from Google Play; no exchanges (I'm satisfied with my device).
The only issue I have is some minor light bleed that is only noticeable on a black background at max brightness in a dark room, in other words, something I'll never notice (I had to actually look for this light bleed too)
