[Q] Bugs found on Note 3

Bugs have been found on the GALAXY NOTE 3 LTE SM-N9005 with firmware of N9005XXUBMI7, anyone have the following 3 issues?
1. Writing in message with S-Pen will not convert the text to words. (Stop working after 30 Sept)
2. Scrapbooker unable to capture the YouTube video link instead it capture an image. (Stop working after Youtube Update)
3. Reading Mode doesn't dim the screen to a warmer (slight orange) tone just like the GALAXY Note 8 after adding the application into the enabled list.
Reading mode: Select which applications will use reading mode. In reading mode, the device will dim the display which helps protect your eyes when reading at night.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA0D25W_5Wc (source from Youtube)
Update: Samsung said that a new software update will be released soon to rectify issue 1 and 2, no news on issue 3.

I thought you found insects in the screen or something.

How you know is confirm there is a new update?? is here any link or something?

I'd also like to know where Samsung has publicized a bug-fix update, if you could post a link.
Also, would an update of this kind still have to be validated by carriers in the US (possibly months of waiting), or would it be direct to the users?

Fixed!

If found two bugs on two devices. I replaced one to find the new one had the same issues!!!
1. Screen brightness changes regardless if the user has ALL the settings turned off. I think it has something to do with the heat of the screen?
2. When recording video in low light conditions and connected to WIFI occasional purple lines will appear horizontally on the screen every now and then
I have now taken my second Note 3 back and refunded all together. I will think about buying another when these are fixed. TBH i can live with the camera issue but the screen brightness problem i cannot ignore!

I have a bug with my Note 3 with the "WatchON" app.
It keeps crashing on load, just black screen then it says "Unfortunately Samsung WatchON has stopped working"
It worked the first time I loaded it when I first got my phone bot not anymore.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

ive had 3 .. note 3's. att. None of them had that issue.may want to disable app and clear cache\data under app management
Each phone has used it on 2 tv's and cable box's and a samsung dongle.

I tried and it didn't work.
Maybe I should take it back to the Samsung store and ask them for a fresh new phone instead of this defective crap since I have warranty.

Actually I got it working now, had to uninstall delete and re-install.
This App is complete crap, it doesn't let you exit without forcing it to shut down.

The Watch On app keeps locking my phone up and crashing. Just got the phone today and haven't even tried to open that app. Any suggestions?

I'm on my 2nd note 3 and the first one didn't have this issue. The replacement I got has been having this issue since day 1. The only solution I've found is to turn Watch On off in the application manager. I'm hoping this is just a software bug and not a problem with the phone itself. It's strange how I didn't have this problem with the first note 3 so I'm kinda scratching my head on this one.

That's what I figured. Waiting till my first 14 days are up before I root. Turning the app off is a good enough fix till then.

Turning it off fixed it for me also. You would think all of this bloatware would be well tested before the phones release. I am wondering if the app updated and the new update caused the problem. I am planning on downloading a new IR Remote App anyway. On Verizon

Don't forget about this annoying bug.

Did anyone else get this update

If this update just came out then i think forget about lollipop for a while

This is it mt7-tl10 v100r001c00b128

For what region/country is this update? I checked & don't have any update available.

I don't see no update on mine...

Egypt
The download speed is so slow from their side. I will let you know what happens once I install it.

This seem like an old update. I remember the change log..
Next update I hope is a performance update, I have had no problem with stability.

Same update received
Guys, I have received the same update yesterday. No much change the phone looks the same in all aspects.
Any idea y just the international version received the update ?
A little scared not to receive LP...

Mine updated day before yesterday to this version. I think the sound is more loud now and clear. But I am having another problem after this update specially in Facebook. The fonts are strange and not readable. Only some English fonts are converted to some haphazard font which is not understandable. Hope somebody could help. I have opened a new thread for that.

Guys,
Any of you who has updated yourselves to LP over 128 ?? Will there be a OTA soon for us ?

I got this update yesterday.. No noticeable changes so far.. Heard LP is now officially rolling out in Europe for MT7-TL9 version.
Don't know what's taking so long for TL10

I could think of a few reasons, but the biggest would be that 5.1 brings native dual SIM support, and Huawei would hopefully want to take advantage of that with the TL10 - not necessary for TL9.
Be patient. There is a thread here about the beta, and things are looking good.

From 6p to Mate 8

Ever since seeing the Mate 7 and liking it's design I wanted it but not all lte radios were present for ATT and it was a no go.... Now I have a 6p and heading to the Mate 8. I hope I'm not making a mistake. I love the ability to flash a plethora of different Roms but the Mate 8 has a lot of features that some aosp roms have( swipe on right to get quick settings and double tap to wake). I love the screen to body ratio and battery and sd slot of the Mate 8. The speaker at the bottom and 1080p aren't biggies for me. Development seems to be at a snail's pace but I hope it picks up a little.
I actually had a Mate 2 that really wasn't bad.

The speaker is really good, the battery epic, you'll miss the camera big time and I think stock will be the best for a while.

Picture quality isn't extremely high on my list. As long as it is good, I'll be fine. I must say the 6p has great low light capabilities but I don't take many pics in the dark.

Hi,
You can change your phone, for me the mate 8 it's the best phone of the world.
I had the s6 edge+, the note 5 and many of best phone but the mate 8 has no equivalent. I love the big screen, his power, his battery, his style... simply, I love everything on this phone

Just changed myself from 6P and have no regrets.
Mate 8 is better in every way except camera.

The Mate 8 does support 60fps video recording where the 6P does not... 60fps is niiice

Haven't found this yet. Would very much like it though because I'm used to it from my G4 and the unlocking using the fingerprint scanner is not my thing at all :good:

I thought double tap to wake was problematic and produced phone restarts and other weird behaviors. Did they fix it?

in earlier roms that was definitely the case. no idea about the functionality on more current firmwares, i dont really use that feature, hurts battery life

Strange, it is working perfectly for me.

I got an update last week on my T715 and it works fine except the auto brightness is a bit mental. It keeps going bright and then dull about every 5 seconds.

I've flashed the latest build, TWRP and Magisk. Til now no problems.

Same. I also did a massive debloat. Interestingly I find that if you uninstall the Samsung music app the rom will not load.

After a strange start, my brightness seems to have calmed down now.
Wonder if these roms have some sort of calibration thing going on when they first load?

I got Android 8 Update today.

Hello All,
I got android 8 update today, I will keep posting about updates, its still going on for 1.8 GB of download.

Oreo update
A co-worker and myself also received the Oreo update for our S7 Edge. All is well so far.

everything is working great. fone is little faster. I got issue in calling after update, its only allowing emergency call. After a restart that is resolved. so far so go.

I've noticed something cool with Bluetooth audio. Before you could set the volume of the phone and the Bluetooth device separately. I noticed that when I turned the volume up on the phone the soundbar volume indicator was going up. So I pulled up the volume slider on the phone and started adjusting the volume using my soundbar remote. The slider on the phone started moving by itself. It seems to me now the phone adjusts itself to the speaker volume.

Factory Firmware or Unbranded ?

can anyone upload the update here? so i can manualy update mine. im outside usa..thankyou

Does anyone know if this is available with SmartSwitch - specifically without SIM in? My son is using my old s7 edge without an active SIM, would love to avoid having to deal with popping out the SIM from my s9+ to pull down the update for him, but if I have to, so be it.
At least the s7 edge is getting updates.

Just a FYI since I've seen others ask how to turn that off...
You can disable it in Bluetooth Settings (along with Ringtone volume as well). Go into Bluetooth Settings and click the 3-dots at the top right for "Media Volume Sync" or "Phone ringtone sync" while the device is connected.

Ok. The unlocked firmware is still only on 7.0. If it's still at&t and using a T-Mobile SIM it won't register an update. The servers won't accept any device not using an att sim.
