Motion on ATT version not working?

it just mine but motion isn't working. i'm ready to exchange if thats the case. my guinea pig phone*

Just double checking that you actually have it turned on??
I have the International version, but they should be the same. Green check mark in box to turn on. Green sliders on options means on. Gray off. Pretty self explanatory. Again, just double checking.

ofc they are all turned on- that's why i'm posting this thread. anyways i'm waiting on someone who has the att version to try it out

Nice first defective ATT S3 worst part is theres no where u can take it in to get it exchanged for at least a few days =/

I have the AT&T version as of about 5 hours ago and although I have not tested all the motion controls, the ones I have all work. Tap top, moving icons on homescreens, tilt to unlock, tilt to zoom are all ones I know are working for sure. I will let you know if I find any that are not.
edit: I just tested pan images and it works too.

Try restarting? See if that might work.

i did restart several. pan does work strangely (holding icon to place on a home screen), but screen capture, tapping top, and prolly a bunch of others i didn't try dont work. no problem i'll just play with this till they get new ones. 30 days is fine

Did you try recalibrating it? That's a really important and potentially easy fix. Sorry if you said you did; I'm tired and didn't read carefully.

yes turning on motion, calibrating, etc were all the things i first did before posting this thread. i just want to mainly see if mine is defective or if its a universal thing

How about a factory reset? I think it's always a good idea to factory reset out of the box before getting the phone setup for daily use.

My S3 seems to be doing ok, I calibrated it on a perfectly level surface, and has been fine since.

all motion feature is not working??

Try palm screen capture, won't work (motion is on).
Back to Power+Home work just fine

You actually have to touch the screen with the side of you hand and sweep it across. You can't just sweep it without touching.

Wireless charging option for the UK?

I've been looking for a good QI charger available in the UK and I can't find very much at the moment. Anyone know when the official Google orb will be released or what other options we can buy here in the meantime?
Thanks

Update: the charger seems to be switching on and off keeping the screen on at times. Wait before you run to get one, might just be a 1 off but this is not working right.
http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/products/accessory/dt-900/
Update 2: when the phone is off it charges fine, but when its on it keeps switching on and off, must be software related, any ideas?

By 'Off' do you mean actually powered totally off or in standby/screen off?

Completely OFF is the only way to charge wirelessly, otherwise it just keeps charing on and off. I went back to the store and tried on the matt on display and same thing happened, only the screen kept flickering very quickly and had to turn it off.
Confused.

It's either a software glitch or when the screen is on, the phone demands more power, and the Nokia charger cannot provide enough. Now, the latter is probably not the case.

Ohh then I can easily fix it, how do I change the setting so the screen doesnt turn on automatically when its charging?
I am new to android and cant find the setting under Display or Battery.. wonder if it can be turned off? otherwise I have a feeling Nokia chargers aint an option for Nexus 4 and I just wasted £45..
Thanks!

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.
Thanks

I have found that while in camera mode I have some sort of horizontal lines on the screen. It was the same on the first galaxy note
Second, the pen is scratched. I have barely used it.

Mine dosent suffer from any of these problems if Im honest or Ive never noticed them.

Mine neither. Perhaps you received a faulty unit, OP?

Hi,
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.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Non of the above mentioned or non mentioned problems occured...

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.

Hi,
To make people clear on issue#1 stated above. Please refer to the video link. Please focus on the bottom screen near home button for the light flashes during sleep to awake or lock screen to unlock screen.http://youtu.be/zB5FkxRZ4EI

Screen sensivity is less on sides so when I am typing sometimes P and back space doesnt repond quicky need to be pressed harder.. mine is on stock rom and just 1 month old. Problem wasnt from day 1 it has started a couple of days back..
Any solution to problem 3.. as its bother some..

Does your power button do this?

Someone in another forum was unfortunate enough to have to go through 3 phones. The ones he had issues with had a slanting power button where pressing the bottom of it did nothing. They said the phone that worked had a correctly functioning power button. I was just curious if any of you have the slant?

Not me but some girls like a slanted power button lol

Yep mine is slanted. I think it was normal when i got it but after a week the bottom half is stuck. And pressing there does nothing

You can't press the bottom of the button, only the top clicks.

Mine is as well. I have yet to have any sticking.

Mine doesn't stick also.

I tried out 4 demo units at a corporate store. 3 out of the 4 had the slant. I brought it up and they swapped me a new one that is normal. We'll see if it slants after a while.

I just noticed my power button I ly works if I press top or middle bottom is dead. This has never been an issue. Only reason I notice it now is because of this thread.

Mine works regardless where i press it.

I have the slant and can only press the top of the button. I thought it was just something wrong with my case, but removed it to check after seeing this thread.

Terrible quality control

I think it's supposed to be more like a rocker. If you press the bottom "dead" spot hard enough, it will work. Mine has been like this since day one.
I see it as a complete and utter non-issue, because my finger can't press just the very bottom part anyway - I have to use my fingernail to press it and I have to work my way down the power button to find the exact spot where it stops working.

Mine is exactly the same, I just noticed it last night, then went searching and stumbled upon this thread. I'm contemplating swapping it because I don't want it to fail down the road, but I also don't want to be paranoid (which I tend to be about my cars, electronics, etc.)
Has anyone had the button completely fail?

I believe it is kinda supposed to be this way, I have read that it is hinged on the bottom. So, there should be no risk of it failing because of it, and theoretically should last longer than normal power buttons, but yeah, if feels a little crappy.

Thanks for the feedback. I actually went into the Verizon store on my lunch break since it's over by Subway, and I played with two of the other Droid Turbo 2's that they had on the floor. They felt exactly the same as mine (bottom 1/3 of the button doesn't click) and the sales guy I talked to agreed.

Dang issues
I'm having this issue as well. can't press bottom power button slightly, hopefully it's not that big of an inconvenience for people because this is a great phone so far I love it, besides the bl unlock and root methods not being available for months and the lack of software support...or just plain slow support... If any ha-ha well good luck guys I hope it works out send those defective units in!!

Yeah, the power button kind of sucks. Hard to press. But oh well, I'm certainly not sending in my phone just for that.

Photos of Microswitch
Just to add one more data point for any future owners who are worried about this, here are 2 captures from teardown videos that prove out the location of the microswitch - way up at the top, which explains the crappy (yet normal) button feel.
This is a little more straight on, of the microswitch itself:

Based on the photos posed above, it looks like it was just a design oversight and likely can't be "fixed" in the sense we would like it to be. The ones that have perfect power buttons probably have a stronger spring mechanism, and seem to be in the minority.
The good news is that it doesn't look like it will be indicicative of future failure based on the design, unlike when older iPhones would do this and then fail completely as the rubber plunger broke free.

S7 Edge Green and Flickering Screen :(

I think my S7 edge has finally bitten the bullet unless anyone has any suggestions? After almost bang on 4 years of ownership and wonderful faithful performance I wouldn't have considered getting rid. Yes, the battery is a bit weaker than it used to be and the camera is ageing everyday, but it was still a very decent phone to use.... the best phone I've ever owned tbh (longevity unmatched).
Unfortunately:
When charging (switched off, right hand side you can just see the little circle):

}
Booting (flashing like it's having a seizure)
Switched on, brightness not at absolute highest
I can just about make it work if I set the brightness to the absolute highest (past the warning regarding brightness levels) but the left hand side of the screen flickers dark and bright a lot and it's not usable for long periods.
With a black screen, you have this brightness difference between left and right
I am guessing the OLED screen has finally packed up. Always on Display actually works okay.
Are there any suggestions?

Can do, although I'll be honest I don't see how a reflash would fix it, especially as it's doing it on the immediate boot logo which is before the ROM right?
I'm already preparing for the worst. Gutted though. Found my old Redmi Note LTE..... god it's crap in comparison.
Need to work out whether to buy a phone now or wait for a few months until some decent 5G models come out at a price I like.

The same behaviour in DL mode. It's goosed and if we're honest, a screen replacement isn't worth it.
I've been trying out the Redmi Note LTE today, which to be fair, I ****ed off for the S4 and it's fair to say I know exactly why I stopped. I know Xiaomi make great phones these days but my word they were in their early days back in 2014 or so. It's so so bad.
The S7 Edge works, more or less, on full brightness mode only. So I will continue to use it, badly, until it does finally day or until the right 5G phone comes out.
it's the worst time for my phone to die
