[Q] Air gesture problem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I'm an owner of a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 rooted, my problem is that air gesture and air view (using hand) stop working after some time of usage, and then I should reboot to make them work again, really strange, I used the command *0*# to see if the sensor is working and it was working.
Anyone has any idea to fix it?
Thanks

Are you using the stock firmware?
It may be due to software issue.

I'm not sure if some apps may interfere with the system service. That may cause the problem.
You can try one of the following:
- Uninstall some apps that you have installed recently, or that you suspect.
- Factory reset.
- Update to the newer firmware for your device.

I think it's a root app that is causing this but I have so many and I can't uninstall them because I won't be able to know which app is behind this + it takes many hours for air gesture to stop working so I guess I'll have to wait for the 4.4.4 update and see if anything would change.

Something more important
The GREENFY serves me
So I converting application using Titanium
Then put into hibernation ...
Probably the operation of converting the application from the user causes the problem.
ANOTHER... WHAT IS MEAN IN TITANIUM integrate update into rom???
Hi guys,
thanks for the hint with Samsung hub.
I am on rooted 4.3 and had exactly the same issue - rotation didn't work any more. It only worked directly after reboot for round about one minute. After that only till next reboot for another minute.
I tried a lot of stuff - but no factory reset or re-flashing another rom, because I was too lazy
So I went into settings and deinstalled the last Samsung hub update. After that it was fine again.
I am not sure how I should trust Samsungs Operating system Tizen when they do so sh... work on their Software.
Greetings,
Elmar.

[Q] lagging S4

I am not so much of a noob but just don't really know where to put this. Srry for any inconvenience in advance.
The problem is that I have a GT-I9505. Tried to root it a while ago but only thing I got was a flagged binary. ( gonna fix that btw soon ) But since KitKat and some updates from all of my apps, my phone is lagging. It waits several seconds to open any app. If I am typing the letters appear about 3 seconds after I types them. This goes espescially for Whatsapp. And no I don't use beta, just the latest version.
I would understand this happening to me because my phone is slightly altered. But my girlfriend has exactly the same problem but the phone is untouched.
So my question is: Has anyone experienced the same problem of lagging? And if so is there anything I can do about it except for a factory reset?
grtz in advance Maverick ®
ps the lagging gets worse when I load the battery. Either on normal power or hooked up to my laptop of pc

What you could do first is to backup and then a factory reset. Then its easier to rule out some software problem.

^This. You can also try updating to the latest firmware 4.4.2 (it has 2 updates: the one updating to 4.4.2 and the other one for performance and stability). I noticed that I was lagging like crazy when I was still on 4.3, but when I updated to 4.4.2, the lag just went away.

[Q] note 3 camera issue

I purchased a pre owned Note 3 from C-ex and the camera is not working, when u select camera it is a black screen with the camera icons tho, the icons are not responsive and after a while it says camera is not working. the man in shop where I purchased it from said they believe it worked fine before 4.4.2 update and only stopped working after this update.
anyone have any solutions for this so I can possibly get camera working

You've got some reading to do. Look for the stickies at the top of forums - usually there's a guide there for how to do basic stuff with your phone. First thing would be to find out how to use Odin (software on your PC) to flash the software for your phone. You can get the latest release for your specific phone from sammobile,com - they have the firmware listed. You will need to sign up but it's free.
You will need to DL the samsung USB drivers and install them on your PC.
Then you use Download mode to connect your phone to the computer and flash the firmware. When it's finished you have a as-new phone set up.
If the camera doesn't work then there is something wrong with it.
Feel free to ask, but make sure you do your research. XDA'ers help them who helps themselves.

Secret mode

Hi, is there a way to turn on the secret mode in the Samsung internet browser just like the pictures below? I can't find any setting

Yes just click tab button and on the bottom left should be a button for secret mode while the right has button for regular new tab. It's really convenient and useful especially since it has fingerprint lock on it. Love it.

That's why I would like to have it too, but I only have a big button for a regular tab. I don't know if there is a special app I deactiavted settings? I already looked, but I don't see a relation between them

It seems like it's firmware specific issue. Have you tried to update/flash different roms to see if the issue still persists? Maybe the dev disabled too many things and it's causing incompatibilities.

I have tried with the stock carrier firmware, right out of the configuration screen opening the browser still no change, also with echoe ROM, same result
I have that feature but now its gone after installing costum rom but im back with the stock and still it did not comback.
Read the other thread.. due to knox being flagged.

I lost the "enable secret" button when i rooted my phone :/
I don't have it either :S it was there last week!
It seems that after the update to internet browser 5.0 (that brought new UI) there is no more private mode.
I think secret mode uses Knox
@waterdaan Perhaps it's something introduced in Internet browser v5, as it worked fine with v4 and I was rooted already.

I have been running 10.3 for a while and I am t-mobile locked but converted to International. Everything is smooth other than Gpay is not working and Playstore is not certified. This is because I am t-mobile variant.

I too got a push update notification. My question is this, can I update through the regular method as it's a full update or do I need to flash?
Originally t mobile variant I rebranded to international and sim unlocked. Also flashed to 9.0.17 and rooted via magisk. Any insight would be appreciated as I have heard improper updating can result in a brick. Thanks in advance

Just do a local upgrade. Just follow the guide to save root.

Everybody has installed it... It's been out for days
Went for it yesterday. With an "ultimate guide" here on forum. I was 9.0.17 rooted with twrp description problems. So I downloaded update (1.8Gb) from official One+ site. And did local update, and all the steps to keep root. After finally booting up I got message that Magisk Manager stopped working, but everything was fine. So cleared app temp memory, and settings (for Magisk only) and next boot everything was ok.
Nope... 100% stock, 9.0.17 is ROCK solid, g-pay, samsung pay work perfectly & there really isn't anything in 10 I can't live without yet. So, I
see no need to update for now.
I'm also not updating yet, at least until they fix the keyboard offset issue and other things I've read about.
Luckily you can just freeze the system update app with Titanium.

There is no keyboard offset issue and so therefore it's never getting fixed. Designs can change, but there isn't going to be a fix for something that isn't a problem.

Judging by all the people complaining about the empty space under the keyboard it does seems to be a problem, though.

There is a Magisk module to deal with that (immersive gestural Navigation for Android 10), and an adb command to change the size of the space. It's a deliberate thing from Google so they'll perhaps remove it later or no but staying with Pie just for that.....

It's not a bug, it's there for the swipe gesture, so that way you won't swipe the keypad when using gestures
Sent from my LG-G8 using Tapatalk
Question of the day. I've been waiting to do the A10 update for the issues it showed on the first days. I'm on a converted 6T from TMo, running 9.0.17. my major concern is the GPay thing I use it a lot. But researching here there's a way to make it work if I root the device. So can I update to 10.3.0 then root to get the GPay issue resolved with the Hide module on magisk? Or should I root on Pie then update?

This is pretty bad ux experience, and with the amount of complaints it seems and accidental keypress possibly when swiping is much better than losing all the text and keyboard closing with an accidental touch. At least give us the option to move it down, without having to go into ADB and setting an offset that then interferes with the way all apps render.
