Is it possible to use wireless charging with a case on the phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCDD85:
Hello all. I just got my Note 3 yesterday and so far I love it. I did notice something that I'm wondering if other Note 3 owners have noticed. This has to do with the metal looking strap that goes around the phone. In each outside corner I'm noticing a crease or line that goes starts from the first horizontal line on the strap to the bottom of strap. They on every corner but one seems to almost go all the way through the strap.

I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has noticed this. I'm just Concerned that I should get a replacement phone.

I can post pics if needed.

Thank you.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
sorry for the delay in response. and to be honest am not 100% sure as to why he would of reported the phone lost or stolen especially if it is in your possession. he is not one of my reps so its kinda hard to say on my behalf. Did you validate all everything he asked you to pull up your account while you were at the store?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalkat579:
Yes I validated everyrhing he had my account on the screen and everything it just does not make sense to me why somebody would do that
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
unfortunately not. None of the verizon stores carry the software or equipment to do so. my recommendation would be to go to your local best buy because within their stores is a samsung rep that would be able to reflash your phone back to stock. However I do have to worn you that if your in recovery menu and it does say custom instead of official then your out of luck unfortunately. Because the samsung rep will not help you if he says that the software has been tampered with and he will also blacklist your warranty with samsung on your device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
mhm...if you port your work number to your personal number it will cancel out that line on your work account. but porting your number to a preferred number should not wipe out your unlimited. and if you do so you will lose your wife's number unfortunately especially if your porting in that work number. and even if you were to have a family line you would lose that number because verizon doesn't hotline number meaning we cant put a hold on a number for you unfortunately. you can bump up your minute plan without losing your unlimited data.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Hey bro whats up? A compass issue...? I wasn't even aware that there was one but then again I don't even use my compass at all on my phone or even had any mention that there was an issue with it to me. I can look into the issue for you to see if its something that samsung is aware off.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
yeah if the problem continues to be persistent then it must be the device itself. definitely strange. have your tried resetting the device?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
trust me it doesnt make any sense to me either. Id call the store and ask to speak with that rep or his manager to find out why he did what he did.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalkat579:
Thank you for your help I will contact them and see what happened
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marthinollys:
Thank you. That gives me something to try. There is no custom recovery on the phone; it's still factory stock. Not real concerned about the warranty in any case. Appreciate you answering?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
your welcome and no problem. By the way was this a corporate store that you had visited?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
That would be great. To demonstrate why compass is important please open Google maps while in a car (someone else driving of course) now click the little icon on lower right and it turns blue and shows your location on map. Now click that same icon again and it puts you in compass mode. In that mode map should rotate automatically using phone compass to determine direction so you are always moving vertically on the map. It is also called follow me mode or navigation without destination mode. In any event the phone compass is not able to keep the map properly oriented. You may move sideways or map might rotate wildly for no reason. It works on Nexus phones but compass in note 3 is terrible.

anytime my friend. and what i mean is that when you go into odin mode recovery where you see the yellow triangle does it say official or custom? if you need a pic for me to better explain let me know. I can take a pic from my note 3 and show you.

Yes it was a corporate store not an authorized retailer it was not the firat time though that they have done something like this they have a few employes that have no clue what they are doing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
yeah i figured it was a corporate store you had went to because retailer stores don't have the power to suspend your account without calling in to do the suspension. ANd yeah unfortunately not everyone know what they are doing. Sorry about that.

Question About Hiding Apps

Hello,

I have noticed that since JB 4.3 came out, you can't hide an apps icon. JB 4.2 made it easy by clicking on the menu button. I have a folder that has all my GAME apps in it. I would like to hide the duplicate app icons but I can't figure out how to do it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Bruce
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
wow i didn't even realized that. i just tried duplicating the problem and realized myself that i cant hide my apps on 4.3. I think samsung has removed the option. Im not 100% sure but then again i only use custom launchers such as go launcher and nova launcher that offers that ability to hide apps and much more.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCDD85:

It is the mode I have used for years. Better than navigation because you see traffic conditions. Better than normal map view because you are oriented correctly so if a street is on the right on the map it is on your right as you approach it (if you were headed south in normal map view it would be on your left). In maps version 6 they used gps to determine direction of movement. In version 7 this mode uses phone compass and note 3 compass never works correctly. Calibrating the compass only helps until next restart and doesn't help at all in a car.

Ok, thanks. To clarify, i actually did an assume of financial on my work number. I was able to take over /add my work number as a separate line on my account.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazy_smokezalot:
yes you can try that but most likely if your past your 14days or 30days then you will have to call 611 and claim warranty on your phone that's a hardware defect!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
So question. I see there are a couple of threads pertaining to the proximity sensor. But they don't seem to relate to what I've noticed.

When the proximity sensor is on, you can see the little red light in the window closest to the ear speaker. Well when I make a call the light turns on and it functions properly. What I've noticed lately is that the proximity sensor doesn't actually turn itself off after I complete a call. The little red "light" will stay on until I reboot the phone. Has anyone else noticed this? It hasn't always done this. I'm wondering if the most recent update has caused it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harleydroid:
I have not seen this at all man. Is it visible in natural daylight or at night in the dark?

I will pay more attention to it now and let you know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
I found a couple of posts about it for different phones. They all suggested to turn off the quick glance/smart stay features but I have them all off and have never used them. They were chalking it up to be a bug. It wasn't always doing this though. It's weird.

It's much easier to see in dark but I can see it during the day as well. It's just a tiny red dot.

Edit: there might be an app I installed that's causing it to stay on but I haven't been able to figure that much out yet. At first I thought it was Lux Dash but even with it off the sensor will come on and stay on after a phone call.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Yeah bro personally I haven't actually experienced it myself but for a friend of mine It did happen to his note 3 as well. Though he has the AT&T variant of the note 3. But when it did happen to his phone I had to restart the phone as well. I didn't event think much about it at all. Thought it was a quick lag or something
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
Yea, it doesn't seem to be hurting anything but from what I've noticed, when it's stuck on my phone wake time is about 10-15% higher. Could be a total coincidence. It's not like it's ruining my battery life or anything I'm just paranoid about wake locks and bugs and such. I remember my first note 3 doing it once but I only remember one occasion. So it's entirely possible that there's an app that using it for whatever reason. My 2 suspects at the moment are light flow and Lux dash. But with Lux dash off it's still happening.

I'll do some more digging when I have time.

Edit: well after digging a little more, I can't figure out what it is. Nor can I find anything useful online. I can then turn off the proximity sensor call screen off setting and it will still come on as soon as I hit dial and the phone calls. I guess it's a bug. I've uninstalled all the apps that I think could affect it. Oh well I guess. It annoys me a little but I guess it shouldn't. If I get crazy I'll wipe my phone and start from scratch. Hell I'd do that now if I didn't have to set everything up and download all these apps/games again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] platinumrims:
I almost feel like I should start my own thread and paste all my comments and your responses.

So, I rebooted my phone. Opened up the phone app a few seconds after the phone turned on, made a call, and the red light didn't come on. The sensor worked like it normally does. So I closed the dialer and deleted it from cache. Opened Tapatalk probably 25 seconds later and saw the little light pop on while typing a response. Soooo Yea I have no idea what's going on lol. Maybe my phone has a virus (even though I've scanned it with lookout security and my personal anti virus) or maybe the government is cloning my face somehow with infrared distancing to highlight facial features Lmao.

I have just one question. I just bought a Note 3 of eBay for over $600 for the sole reason of keeping my unlimited data plan. I'm 100% happy with my purchase and I'd do it again.

My question is, is Verizon working on, or planning to eliminate unlimited data plans for grandfathered unlimited users? I always assumed it would happen one day, I'm just wondering if you've heard anything like that?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deekayy:
It will upset MANY existing customers with unlimited data and I highly doubt they would ever do that. They're already giving subscribers the option of moving to the 6GB if you were to upgrade from unlimited. The only slap in the face move Verizon could do is force every subscriber to the share everything plan if any of the lines were wanting to upgrade to a new device.

I don't know it as a fact (nobody does).

One of my neighbors is a VZ corporate rep however, and her answer to that question is "nobody really knows what VZ will do, but enjoy your UI data for now as it probably won't last forever"

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrewersFanJP:
Hi,

My current contract is going to be up in three weeks, and I'm going to get the Galaxy Note 3 as my next phone. I'm going to use the discount for signing a new contract to get it, but that means I will lose my unlimited data. I went into a corporate store last week to ask about the 6 GB plan, but the rep I talked to didn't know anything about it (and pushed the 2 GB plan because the three month period he showed me was under 2 GB, but conveniently left out last month was almost over 2 GB, and I don't want to worry about those overage charges). How would I get onto this plan? I don't mind losing unlimited data because I average around 2 GB a month, but would need the 6 GB plan to be willing to make the switch.

Also, what are the chances of getting an upgrade a few weeks early? My current phone (Droid RAZR) still works, but I've had issues with missing texts, performance has been slow, and the battery doesn't hold a charge as well anymore. I'm excited for the Galaxy Note 3, have liked everything I have seen about it.

Finally, would there be any issues with keeping the plan on the next contract I sign (around 2016, assuming I'm still happy with Verizon)? I don't want to face the same issue that I'm facing this time again.

Some additional notes: My current plan is 450 min + 250 text + unlimited data, then add insurance, roadside assistance (this service has really been helpful for the few car issues I've had), and taxes/fees, and it's around $95 a month. I don't want to go any higher than this (might go a little bit higher but definitely don't want to break $100). I only have the single line, no others. The minutes & texts are a non-issue, I've pushed the limit with my texts but minutes have been fine. Also, I don't want to go on the Edge plan, I just don't like the setup for that (would feel like I'm paying for my phone twice).

(I apologize if this has been asked before in the thread, if it has please point me to where I should look.)

Buying the phone at full price is the only option that they gave my dad. He bought a RAZR HD and is happy with unlimited data.
