Delays and lags

It takes a good few seconds
- Pressing the home button to wake up the screen
- calling someone
- answering the phone
- when a call is disconnected
Is this common?

What r u guys doing with your devices. I just did everything on your list and no lag. The only thing that happens is after a call ends, theres another screen that pops up with call back/videocall/message. Ive been running my device for 2 days now with zero problems.
Out of sudden there are so many thread about delay and lag. LOL. Never experience before with my device. Wonder what you all did. Hmm..
I didn't do anything. It was like this out of the box

Anyone else getting this annoying bug?

Maybe its just my phone that's got a problem, but when I answer the phone the person on the other end doesn't hear my voice for about 5 seconds. So I have to say 'hello' three times. Any one else getting this? Or any idea on a fix.
Not noticed. Maybe you pick up and put your handset to head a lot faster than me

I have this, I also had it a couple of handsets ago on my desire hd. You get used to it, answer phone... Wait a second, say hello.

Actually I think I have this bug, but it's not 5 seconds ... maybe 1-2 max ...
Weird, I'll do some more testing to see
yeah, me too. i reckon it is about a second though.
never noticed this on previous phones.
Me too, but only for 1 second, so doesn't bother me at all
There's an option in the dialer settings to have it vibrate on call connect and disconnect. I haven't paid much attention if it vibrates when answering a call but I'm pretty sure it does. I haven't noticed an issue.

Bad effects of replacing the power button?

Hello guys my power button seems unresponsive most of the times...I'm kindda worried about it since i dont have warranty also
I am using touch control and stuff to reduce the usage of it as much as possible :good:
My question is, will replacing it cause any problem?? Will it be noticeable that its replaced??
Thanx in advance :good:

It may not be a power button hardware problem. A few members, including me have experienced bad power button behavior ever since the 4.3 update. At times mine seems unresponsive, or acts as if I press it twice. Like if I push it once to lock my phone it'll quickly go off and back on as if I pressed it twice. Also when pushing it to wake the screen it doesn't seem to respond at times and have to push it again. It happens very randomly. I'd say about 2 out of 10 times or so. I even flashed back to 4.2.2 for a few days and I had no issues whatsoever.

Does it mean this is a software bug for the people who are facing this issue?

Seems to be for some. It's odd that only a few members have reported the issue. I'm sure there are others who do really have a button hardware problem, but I've pretty much ruled that out for myself.

Im on 4.2.2 to bring up the power off menu i have to keep pressing it really hard...samething to switch this on.

I have the EXACT same behaviour!!
I didnt notice if it was because of android 4.3 but I have read about others saying the same thing.
Im about to leave the house to go the service centre and I found this
Im taking it anyway. Lets see what they say.
But its not 2 out of 10 for me. More like 7 out of 10
Really doubt that is the OS it had to be the power button get it replaced from the service centre that should solve the problem.
Facing the same problem but the service centre in my area does not have the power button in stock had asked me to wait for a week so that they can arrange it.

I went to the service center. The lady told me the engineer was on leave. I'll have to go on Monday again! She said it was nothing. He will only have to open it and clean the button and it will work. She said it was a common problem.

Did they end up replacing the button or just take it apart and clean it? How much did they charge?

S-Voice triggered randomly

Since I got my Note 3, I've been using S-Voice to do things like turn Wifi on and off by voice. But since I've been using it, it randomly get triggered. I left Hi Galaxy as the default phrase. Not sure why it's doing this. Any idea why it's doing that?

Yeah its not a super bad thing, just I'm really really curious how it's misunderstanding me.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you find s voice comes on randomly check your location services and that car mode isnt enabled to come on with a certain action or location. It was happening to my wifes when she hit a wifi point at home it would come on automatically but turing of location services for car mode to her wifi spot fixed it up!
I did disable the 'wifi location' and it worked

[Q] Lighting not even?

Hello everyone!
I bought my gn3 about a week ago and now i noticed that the lighting isn't even????
Did i damage it or note 3's have this issue?
its visible when the brightness is set to about 30% and on a gray background. its most visible on the left side of the screen (like a slightly brighter tint or something)
can anyone check it on their devices as well for me?
Thanks!
Edit : it's not only on the left side it's all over the screen. when I open the phone app I can see the background isn't one color but scales of dark grey and I think it's supposed to be black.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
It's like that and there's really nothing you can do.
Except trying to find another N3 that doesn't have that, or at least in a smaller scale, but good luck with that.
And next time, do some Google searching...The phone is now more than one year old, so any other problems you encounter, you definitely wont be the first one.

Ah, I see.
I'll check my friend's note 3 tomorrow and I'll tell you what I find.
Thanks a lot.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
That's normal. Nearly all units have that.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 2
I checked my friend's and it's smoother than mine. Also mine is a little visible all the time.
Well then, since it's in all units I'm okay with it.
Does anyone know what causes it?
Thanks for everyone who replied.

Here's a picture. Look at that left edge.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
That definitely isn't normal. I would exchange it.
I see. Well I will try to replace it and see if they are going to accept. Because it's only visible in few lighting conditions. (it also annoys me a lot)
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Hm, this looks more like Light Bleed. That does warranty attempting to replace it, it shouldn't have that. (Although it often does in a lot of devices)
Well. What's the cause of that? Is it some loose screw?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
So I was thinking of replacing it. But before that I made a research about light bleeding. They say it's pretty common. So, I'm afraid if I replace it I get a worse one. What do you guys think?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
It's a display problem. Samsung will replace it for free.
I see. But what if the new unit has the same issue? Do I keep replacing?

I don't think you will have the same problem. They have to replace the display, if also your new display will be broken, you are a very unlucky person
Well. I will go and see. I will tell you guys what will happen.
Thank you

So I finally have free time and might go replace it within the next week.
And I'll see if I can get a red replacement if they were going to replace it

I have no idea where you're from, but there's usually more than one Samsung Service Centre in a country.. You can find the addresses on the Samsung website under Contact.
I just called them and oh gee. It's a 30 minute drive. I'm too lazy to drive for 30 minutes. Also I have exams. So maybe next week? xD
Bare with me guys
