i keep reading samsung is working on update

For GPS and compass issues, but never have seen any evidence. .. anyone got a link, I'd just like to see it with my own eyes instead of speculating. ... thanks

Didn't think there was a statement directly from them.

I think you're right that there's no official statement from them. I think it's just what people have heard from the tech support folks at Samsung (and now also from TMo).

i just spoke to a rep and they've stated that *there aren't any updates planned to be released by samsung* *if they do, there will be information on the website* i kindly told them that they need to fix the slow screen to screen scrolling, gps, error connecting when using friends feed and replying to someone
other than that, the phone is excellent.

wrong thread. ignore.

Try a game using the accelerometer. .. its extremely fubared. .. try doodle jump or hell a free one hyperspace lite. .. you will see how messed up the 6 axis motion sensor they tout is.

Just tried hyperspace lite. Thanks for the suggestion. Its pretty cool.
That makes three games I have players that use the accelerometer for controls (also replica island labrynth) and so far I find the accelerometer to be excellent.
WAY better, or instance, than playing similar games on the wii.

I just emailed Samsung about the issue, and asked them what the time frame of it being publicly addressed and fixed would be. I suggest everyone having issues do the same. I have not heard back yet, but will post their response when I do.
I also just got off the phone with T-Mobile tech support. They said they will not swap the phone out for the GPS issue, as it's a known issue and a different unit will not make a difference. They also had me do the keypad fix, (*#*#ect.) and it didn't give me any different results from the last time I tried it, other than the loss of signal I had last time.
I asked what Samsung has said to them about the issue and her response was there is no timeframe on when this will be fixed, but Samsung is aware for of the issue and are working on it.
Basically the same stuff everyone else is saying. 6 days left for me before I return the phone. I hope something happens soon.

On the contrare. . Try homering battle 3g. There you will see... after that you will no what I mean and every game using the accelerometer takes a split second to really orientate......
It is flawed. ..
Or try hyperspace again and pay attention... then close it and download android sensor data... open that app, now go back to the game and notice how Mich faster it moves and how Mich more it responds... another game is speedx 3d... so hard to control then open android sensor data and its smooth as butter...
Please check again, it works sometimes like the first time then after that you will notice slow response. ..

Try papijump..... notice how when you tilt it takes a second for the dude to respond to ya movement. .. then close it completely, open android sensor data and try again, its a lot smoother...... like the app calibrates the sensors or something...
We need more people to see this issue as not many people know about it... but I play games using accelerometer and notice its not right until that apps started first.

Tried your sensor data trick. Not noticing any difference.
eta: I have always sucked at these types of games on the wii or other phones, but I am doing quite well (comparatively) on the vibrant.

Cool. That should work... it may be smooth on try 1. But exit completely and try again, the shadow on the bat chops around and its supposed to be smooth.... then once choppy try that app again...
Thanks for testing this.. I've read others have same issue just no one really can see. This game should do it though...
I pmed you also..
Edit: if ya already opened that sensor app it wont play bad....
Must reset phone, don't run app, then try game, then when ****ty open app it'll fix everygame... but since ya opened it it will run smooth... must reset.

After completely resetting the phone, I am no getting what you described. Was definitely not seeing this before reseting, meaning something else I had done had "fixed" it somehow. No idea what.

Its not major, just a slight stutter which in really meticulous games like asphalt 5 speeding around corners it will effect you...
But run that app after reset, even close it, for some reason now the sensor is flawless. Lime the app calibrates it somehow......
I was cool on all bugs till this, cause I'm a gamer, but luckily someone found that app in another thread, makes it flawless....
Its like first time ever playing the app, it plays fine, but then next time its wack... really strange. I can't believe no one else noticed on games like those, I notice the slightest weirdness.

Note 3 sm-n9005 Everywhere stattering

Hello! I've bought 3 days ago the note 3 and the first thing I noticed is that everywhere in the OS i experience (I think this is called..) stuttering! Everywhere except video playing through build in video player I see stuttering. In browser, games, apps, scrolling and worse of all Youtube! The video is like skipping frames. The sound is good but the video is not at all smooth! I enabled developer tools and enabled the setting to show me gpu usage in bars. When I experience statturing the usage of the gpu instantaneously is full and then back to normal.I've tried reseting phone removing my sd card and when the phone was only with the factory installed apps I updated youtube app and played a video and again the same even in non HD videos.... >:-X I've read somewhere to enable gpu accelaration in 2d apps neither this worked.. I've also noticed that in antutu benchmark. When the benchmark was in 3d test although the fps was around 40-60fps the image was not smooth at all! IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS! Does anyone else have the same problem with me? It is something that the average user want bother him too much and he can live with it but for me is the worst thing! I paid 750euros for the device and I want it to run smoothly at least the most of the times..! Before this device I had the note 2 and I didn't have ANY of these problems! I mean not even 1 of them! If this is not something I did wrong and it is samsung problem then it is anacceptable! What can I do?

you got a problem i would take it back cause mine is fine.

My Note3 is silky smooth fast even with high bit rate high definition video. You must have a fault and I would get it exchanged ASAP.

Definitely something wrong there. My Mega 6.3 didn't suffer from stuttering but Note 3 still feels super fast after that.

Eh eh
i love this HUGE Problematic posts that someone with zero posts apperas in android forums suddenly after sammy releases... really fun & great posts i love them

Thank you
Thank you all very much for all the responses! I called samsung and they told me that they don't know something about this and they will search for the issue and call me back after 3 business days.....

When I'm playing video from the built in player or MX Player is runs smooth all the time. Youtube app has the real problem! When you are playing from youtube runs smooth on you phone?

I watch YouTube videos all the time, no issues whatsoever. Try clearing cache/reinstalling youtube etc..
To OP: Either you have some really rogue app running in the background, or your phone is defective. I have none of these issues on my Note3 and I've had it since 25th of September.

Same issues here just did a system reset and will bring it back tomorrow if still the same. Very disappointed ofcourse!

I guess that my phone is defective. As I said in previous post I've reset the phone. I've cleaned the cache and reinstall it bebore reseting it. But the problem is not only on youtube. It is in almost all apps excluding build in video player. Now if I have to give it back and get a new one should I go to Samsung service or the store I've bought it? And one question more. If the phone is from a telephone company is there a chance the OS could be damaged from them. Are they touching the software before get it to the market? Because I've noticed that after every reset the first time I open Safari the start page is Vodafone. I've bought it without contract. Is there any possibility that all these happens for this reason?

Thank you all!
They finally changed my phone! At first they told me that this is a minor issue and they don't know if they could change the device for this...... :laugh: Hahahaha in their dreams...........! I went to they store manager and I make him take my device and compare it with the store's demo device.. Finally he gave me a new one.. :victory: And it's working perfectly!!!! I really love it! I was very dissapointed at first with the other device because I was thinking that maybe that's how the phone is or I should be waiting for an update to fix their issue... :silly: Thank you all for your responses! You were very helpful! I'm very happy to belong in your forum community and from now on I will be very happy to help where ever I know my help!

reboots while playing games....

Anyone else?
Every game I have tried playing, causes the player to reboot spontaneously. No single thing seems to trigger it, just reboots at some random point while playing games. Using the Asus controller.
Everything else seems to be smooth.
Games tried:
Badlands
Riptide 2
Minion Rush
Sky Force 2014
BombSquad
Hungry Shark Evolution
Beach Buggy Racing

indeed
Hi.
Yes I have the same problem. Clearing the data worked for beachbuggy and bombsquad the first time i ran into this issue. Yesterday, bombsquad crashed no matter how many times I cleared data or uninstall/reinstall.
I'm trying to find out where to report this to google.

Crazy thing, but is the power plug /really/ jammed in deep and something put on the cable to make sure it doesn't wiggle loose?

I tried using online chat from the nexus troubleshooting page, but it never loads.
I have also used adb/fastboot to re-install the factory image, it didnt help.
May try using the call option on troubleshooting page when I have more time.

Well, in a word, no, its not the power cord.
I could understand if it happened at just any random time, but it happens only when playing a game.
I can stream movies for hours at a time using plex, stream music, etc. never reboots. Play a game, and it can happen within a second, or 5 minutes, but only when playing a game.

Thank you both for reporting, I finally have time and am requesting a call from them now as well.
Glad to hear it is working, its is extremely frustrating trying to use it now.
Well 45 minutes later on phone, I got RMA, just waiting on new one to arrive now. Says it leaves on the 25th, hope it is sooner.

Just to follow up, replacement arrived today.
So far not a single game crash. Also not had the audio drop-outs yet either.
Plex still will freeze on some movies however. I suspect this is more plex's problem as opposed to the player itself.

Mine still crashes in games quite a bit. I'd be interested in your experience over the next week or so, specially if it indeed has stopped crashing in games over the mid-term. Thanks for the updates.

Hi, is your crash before RMA or after RMA?
I am facing crashes and reboot issues on Nexus Player, while playing Asphalt 8 and Air Race.
Still contemplating if I should RMA or wait for OTA software updates which may or may not resolve the issues.
For those who have RMA, did the help desk say it's a hardware or software problem?
Seems to be memory overflow issue, the 1GB ram is overloded, causing some memory leakage, and as a result the unit rebooted?

I haven't RMA'd... some other gentlemen above have, however. I'll be waiting for the next update and see if that fixes things as games are not my priority with the box, streaming from my nas and the net is. For those purposes, my NP is solid.

Thanks for the reply. I read from other forums that Lollipop has a reboot apps bug due to memory management. keeping my fingers crossed that the next software update will solve the games rebooting issue too.

I will second that. My RMA'd unit has yet to reboot while playing games, or at all for that matter.

I was also getting spontaneous reboot and audio dropout. Problem was solved by getting a replacement unit. Could hardly start a game of Asphalt 8 or play it more than a few seconds without it rebooting.
There is definitely a pattern here - that some units are marginal.

I've been having the same problem with the following games:
Asphalt 8
Beach Buggy Racing
Sky Force 2014 TV
God of Light TV
Games that I haven't had a problem with:
Badland
Bike Rivals
Called Google today and talked to a rep who hadn't heard of this issue before, but said it sounded like an issue with the apps and suggested I contact the developers. After reading about the RMA success stories, I'll be calling back tomorrow and pushing for RMA.

Speaker issues

My fiance bought one of these for us, and she said shes noticed the longer its used the pseakers go bassy and fuzzy. only corrected with a restart. ive searched and cant seem to see a mention of it

Yes, I've had this as well.
I don't know what causes it, but during a film, about an hour in, it started going fuzzy, as if someone added a "static" track in there. It becomes all static-y...
It's resolved by rebooting.
Anyone have insight on this?

A ROM bug maybe?

No, I have stock and the same problem after a long gaming session. Closing and re-open the app sometimes works, but sometimes indeed only a restart works.

If rebooting fixes it, it sounds like it may be a software issue. Have you tried doing a factory reset?

Mine has done something similar a few times, only while playing Adventure Express. I assumed its just a bug with that game, but it affects all audio running on the tablet until I clear the game from Recents. Stock 5.0.1 rooted

Sounds like your devices are haunted
Anyway, never experienced anything like it

I get playback issues with the Comedy central app that are fixed by a restart I have a feeling it has to do with some of the lollipop memory leaks.

I have had no issues yet but for this to be a HTC tablet I would think it would have better sound like on the M7 and M8. Still sounds good and love the speakers on the front

I've had it happen straight out of the box. Then a couple time times later on, completely stock. Have yet to experience this on SimpleAOSP, but I'm sure the bug is still present, just haven't noticed it yet.
Edit: This is not a speaker issue, but more a software issue. It happens with headphones as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...e-sound-using-earphones-t3032098#post58898735

Reboot
I have experienced it one time only. A reboot fixed it. It looks like a SW/driver issue to me. Not a huge problem, but taking the price of the Nexus 9 into consideration, it would be nice to have it fixed

Touch Issue

While using this phone randomly the phone touch seems normal but while playing games like pubg I'm having lots of issues the touch is very slow and screen jumps here and there. Anybody else having this issue? I saw a video which mentioned this issue.

this problem already exists when google update to oreo, this problem is on google source code, so wait for them to fix it, but for some custom rom developer have fix it

Yep, same here brother. For me it was in pubg. For a moment I thought that maybe mine's a defective unit. But turns out it is software issue.

Thank god its the software issue not the hardware/device. The bug really sucks.

Multitouch bug fix by Google
This issue was to be fixed in June security update. However, Google decided to fix this in May security update itself. OEMs were supposed to merge these changes to utilize it. Now that we've already got May security update without the fix, the only way for X00TD to be rid of this bug is the June security update.
Oreo Multitouch bug

Me too, while playing ping. I thought multitouch problem

Yeah i am having this issue while using phone. Screen stucks and it keep doing up and down and just touch dont work at that time. I got serviced my phone two times but it still persist.
