OS upgrade to 5.1.1, still don't know what the stagefreight security patch is. Looks like they forgot to mention the OS upgrade in the notes

That was to patch the link sent via messages and when you opened the video it would "harm the system" and if you used hangouts, it would automatically harm it due to hangout opening the video ahead of time for quicker viewing. It was an issue within the core of Android, not the OEM, itself and has been a 'vulnerability' for quite some time but was just exposed not too long ago.
Got the Patch and the 5.1.1 update, good deal.
Please report back the responsiveness and overall feel. I just might make the leap if they got Lolliflop right with this update.

Well it does seem much more responsive. The optimizing apps process was painfully slow. My GPS puts me in Virginia though and I live in MA. Hopefully after it settles it will update itself.
Edit: GPS is good now.

Well it does seem that GPS only works on power saving mode. I like to use GPS only mode in location settings so I set it to that and will leave it alone for a while to see what happens. Is this happening to anyone else?

The GPS location error is definitely sprint, had this problem for years where it would put me at Burbank, CA when I live in Las Vegas, NV. However when travelling to a different area of Vegas, that seemed to put me in Las Vegas. Now when at home it puts me at Dana Point, CA. Lol.
I did a test, had at least 20+ apps running, pressed the recent apps key, and it opened immediately. Usually with that heavy activity, I would be waiting anywhere from 15-30 seconds to pop up. One thing I am waiting to see is if it freezes on me. Had a few instances where apps were making the screen not respond. Seems much faster with the update though.

Going to install and try to root. Will post back.

I've been running it for the past few hours. GPS works and the BT audio bug looks to have been fixed. The UI is smooth as glass. Has Sammy/Sprint finally gotten it right?

I tried to root, and phone rebooted but said su binary was missing. Tried routing with su in twrp and bootlooped. Tried reinstalling bof5 and can't go back. Going to install rom through twrp and wait for stock rooted.

Downloading now! In Southern CA.

So you can flash TWRP via Odin right? I would not care too much about not being to flash back to OF5 since I have a phone that lags severely after a few days of running stock OF5. I would just want the ability to flash CM12.1.

SD card Wiped
Did the 5.1.1 and my SD card was mostly wiped. Pics and music gone. Funny thing is, some things are still there such as carbon backup files. I'm not exactly thrilled.

5.1.1 kills cf-auto root... It did the same with the note edge.. Kernel exploit is the only way to root..

Loving the new updage so far. Not laggy at all. Now for the battery test.

2) wait till the new update is available to flash?

I odined stock unrooted OF5 and it's getting the OTA update now. So that works.

Phone feels much snappier. Recent apps menu opens instantly. Camera seems to open a bit faster.
Are we not going to get RAW support like the newer phones are getting? Thats some BS if not.

S Health - Step Counting

Has anybody else noticed that when using S Health to count your steps taken...it will randomly reduce the number of steps? I will be up to 4000 steps for example and then I can look back a while later and be at like 3400. Does it have some sort of formula to clean up steps that it thinks were not real steps after a certain point?

Clarification
To clarify - I have noticed that it resets to zero if you reboot your phone. Sometimes though it will randomly drop by a few hundred - I had assumed it was to eliminate what it perceived as fake steps but who knows - glad to see it is not only me. No issues with the other parts of the app, though.
Did you get the newest OTA update? I was having this happen as well. The newest OTA update is supposed to include a new version of S Health. I just updated last night so I'm not really sure if it fixed it yet or not.

Facebook News Feed Issues?

Been having some strange issues lately with Facebook on my N4. Over wifi it operates like normal, refreshing my feed quickly and normally. But over Straight Talk T-Mobile it refuses to update 95% of the time despite 4 bars of HSPA+ For comparison, Instragram updates immediately and numerous Speedtests show my normal 5-15mb/s.
Tried wiping the cache and uninstalling to no avail. Anyone having issues? This just started about a week ago.

Any chance you've exceeded your Data Cap for StraightTalk, from what I've seen straighttalk isn't exactly the most reliable for data usage.

By the way when you say update, are you talking bout with the screen off, or when you're actually in the app forcing it to update?

Course at the same time I never considered Facebook to be all that reliable on the mobile side, so if all the other apps are working fine and it's just facebook that's crapping out it seems to re-enforce my feeling about their app. (I mean it even crashes on iOS every so often).
T-Mobile Straight Talk really doesn't have a data limit. Or I've never gotten close to it. As I said Facebook is the only app that does this. And even then 1 time out of 10 it'll update like normal.
I'm thinking this is some bug with the latest Facebook update. If anyone has any other thoughts for fixes let me know!

Same issue here on the Facebook app, I've tried opening and closing it a few times and eventually it will refresh.
I believe it's definitely something on straight talks end because if you try to request the desktop site of facebook in chrome, it doesn't load either. I also am having this same issue.
Just a follow up, fixed using common sense. (shocking really)
Downgrading to 3.2 works like a charm. Can't post a link but look for the V3.2 APK on Android Drawer.

Lock screen and Knock On Solution

Strangely, my phone stopped responding to knock on to wake the screen. When you pressed the hardware power button to wake the screen would immediately close. It would take about 10-15 tries to unlock the screen in that split second before it closed. To troubleshoot I flashed back to factory and I still had the same issue after the phone was allowed to sleep just a few minutes. I took the OTA, same problem.
I was ready to box it up and swap out, but decided to try one other thing. I went to the screen off effect and changed it to Simple. Everything worked fine after that. I switched it back to retro tv and it would take many more tries to wake the screen. apparently its some kind of software bug. Thought I'd pass the info on to anyone else having similar issues.
Apparently root apps that play with system files trigger the bug too, like greenify. So the bug isn't tied to one screen effect, just switching to another fixes it until you play with system files via flashing or root apps. Hopefully it's something they fix in the next update.
It seems if you flash or change any system files, it reverts back to the retro tv effect and the issue repeats until change to another transition.
So the knock on feature is supposed to be more reliable if I do this?

If you are suffering from the same software bug, it works. If you flash a mod or do anything that does a "updating android" on reboot, it reverts back to the default screen effect and the knock on becomes unreliable. After a deep sleep you can't wake it with a knock most of the time. Strange but saved me a trip verizon hell for a swap.
Wow!!! I can totally confirm that this is working! Thank you so much... I was getting to the point that I didn't really use the knock on feature due to the flakiness of it... Now it works flawlessly!

Glad it helped man. I restored my recovery,reflashed stock and took the ota before i found the bug. lol Works as advertised now.
Im getting the same problem with mine, but the retro screen switch to simple isnt solving the problem. Tsking so many tries and not being able to knock on is making the phone unusable.
Any other suggestions or off to Verizon? Im within the 14 days...

Make sure the sensor area to the right of the FF camera is clean. If you have a screen protector over it, you might want to pull it off and clean the area really good. If that sensor is blocked or not working, it will do the same thing whether or not you change the screen off settings. Could be a bad sensor and you may need to swap it out.
Tried cleaning it, no luck. Seems like its hw related. Off to vzw I go.

Can confirm this. Disabling retro worked originally, but after rooting and Greenify it's back.
Do I have to flash to stock to fix now? Or will Greenify uninstall do the trick?

Well, I tested it myself. Uninstalling Greenify does indeed fix the knock-on issue.
A shame, as I really liked that app. Boo Verizon/LG. Boo.....
Damn! I was wrong.
Still having this bug, but only from deep sleep.
Incredibly annoying, but I really don't want to Re flash. Any ideas.
I'm dying here....

Greenify or any root program that modifys system files has the possibility of triggering the bug. In my personal testing, after you change the screen off to something different after installing Greenify, it stops. I'm guessing the core issue is with the front sensor that disables knock on. A hardware software combination. Strangely even after flashing back to stock doesn't fix the bug. First deep sleep and it will return until you change that setting in screen off.

Nothing seems to fully resolve this. Super annoyed I ever installed Greenify. Ugh.
I'm within my 14 days (I got it on Monday), but I purchased from letstalk (the $26 price mistake deal that lasted a few minutes). Does anybody know if I can just walk into Verizon to switch it out, or do I have to do the mail back, wait 5 days with no phone thing?
thanks
I've only replaced the phones I directly received from Verizon in person. Call Verizon and tell them you needed to swap a phone under the 14 days. They can look at your account and tell you if you can just swap it in person or if you need to return through the reseller.

In theory, Greenify may break such a feature like Knock-on, but its always recoverable. Simply de-greenify the app and manually launch it to restore everything to normal.
Please avoid greenifying any app with background functionality.
PS: Greenify actually never touch any system files.

How to fix wake up lag

If you are annoyed at the 2+ second wake up lag with the note 3, you can fix it by removing the sd card from the device. sounds weird but it works.
Or you could just disable media scanner.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I've used Rescan Media on other phones to keep the phone from scanning the SD card on every boot. I don't know if it'll work on the Note 3, but the phone is fast enough that I don't mind the 2 second lag. (The shortest lag I ever ran into that cost a life was well over 10 seconds. If takes me 2 seconds more to call 911, I don't think anyone's going to die.)
So every time you wake the device it takes 2s? Did it do this out of the box? I doubt it; so I'd suspect it's an app issue, or you've installed a bunch of wonky xposed modules or something.
My phone is stock for the most part. Haven't rooted the phone (killing me btw) but i did install your normal apps.
It lags from time to time and it does bother me. It shouldn't lag like that.

Have that turned off as well. Can't be that
This same thing existed on the note 2. It was always said that it was due to the exynos going into such a deep sleep that it took a second or 2 to gather itself and wake up so to say. Someone made an app that would keep a constant wake lock so it wouldn't sleep. Obviously you can guess the side effects but it did work.

Must be an issue with the earlier release models. I got mine less than a month ago and has a 32GB PNY card and no issues whatsoever. In fact it has NONE OF THE ISSUES stated in any of the threads on this site. If I press the wake button, bam! there it is. So this must be an issue for you early buyers.
I got my note 3 about 3 weeks ago. Dont know what model it is because i haven't looked.
My previous sd was given me problems before, had to reformat it twice and when I took it out it wasn't working. So maybe that was the issue.
I have a SanDisk card coming so lets see how that goes.

Sprint S7 & S7 Edge Nougat 7.0 beta program is Open

Hurry up before they close sign ups.
If you don't know how to register, simply download the Samsung beta program from the galaxy apps store (not play store) and then follow the prompts.
I hope you guys find this helpful
Finally!

Mine works fine without the wipe.
I was just sharing my experience as I just got the phone the day before. I had the phone all set up it was working fine on Android 6.0.1. I upgraded to the beta for nougat Android 7.0 and immediately my phone kept rebooting every 30 seconds or little bit longer. Once I realized the data I have not had any issues at all.

I had massive restart loop every 30 seconds yesterday. Have been troubleshooting. Ultimately had to rewipe again, to get it to work.

I downloaded the app this afternoon, did the registration, went into my setting and checked for an update and it downloaded nougat. The one thing I have found is that Bluetooth sucks! Seriously my music breaks up with it just in my pocket and I'm wearing Bluetooth headphones. Then I took it out of my pocket and put it on the counter and I can't get 5 feet away from the phone and the music breaks up again. Prior to the update I could go to the gym, put my phone down and be a good 40 feet away and it would still work fine.

Is there a way to keep the phone's screen from coming on when a text message comes in?

Thanks to this thread I installed the beta Nougat OS.
Nothing bad so far. I did NOT wipe or remove data.
So far, I really like it. The SoTP meter says it's faster. Only thing that doesn't work so far is my Agenda Widget. Love the improved AOD. Battery seems to last a little longer, but not enough experience to say definitively. I did notice that the phone was warm when at 100% this morning. Haven't seen that since the update that stopped us charging to 100% (even though the display said it was).
The options in Settings are better- much better control of notifications.
I'll post more as I discover it.
Is anybody having the issue where the speaker volume is really quiet? Like unusable when watching YouTube.

Lol if only! Thats when Sammy will release it to the carriers. And then they will do their thing and probably take their time draging feet.

Sprint users were part of the beta too, so it shouldn't be like rollouts in the past. Although I don't understand why we've been testing 7.0 and the final is supposed to be 7.1.1, unless Sprint stays on 7.0.

If sammy sends them 7.1.1 them that's what we will get. 7.1.1 isn't that much different from 7.0 just a few features added like app menu short cuts which wouldnt take much for them to add in the final release .I really dnt get how beta is over with all bugs not fixed. I personality still have an issue with Youtube videos not working after some time. Notification tones stop working after some time. No factory reset or caches clear has fixed this in the whole beta process.
