[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INTJ:
I've seen on numerous occasions that the AT&T Note 3 has GPS errors, but little for other users. To confirm, I'm running 4.4.2 on the UK Three network and without wifi enabled it locates me as Woodhall Spa (a Samsung repair centre 200 miles away). Being on the south coast of England, it sometimes tells me I'm in a town in France, presumably another Samsung centre.

As with everyone else, my passwords disappear. I recently turned off the backup and sync on my phone to see if that works.

On another theme, my favourites in contacts disappeared.

All of this is for information only - it's not just AT&T.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I do not understand your references to AT&T - N900A is a (slightly) different model (with a forum that is also different than this one) than N9005, which is the International Note 3 LTE and most common in EU (plus Hong-Kong and a few other places).

The GPS problems have been reported (and discussed) for pretty much all Note 3 models, one thing that seems to be a little different from other older phone models with good GPS is IMHO (coming from i9300) the over-reliance on ASSISTED GPS (AGPS) - which again might work well or might work bad.

A rather common pattern of the problem(s) for me is that:

- after a full (cold) restart the first GPS lock with no Internet (of any kind) OR just with WiFi is very slow - under bad circumstances (between buildings, surrounding metal, cloudy day) it can take up to 1-2 minutes for the initial lock;

- after a similar cold start the A-GPS lock when mobile data is connected to my provider (Vodafone) is in the order of 10-15 seconds.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INTJ:
Thank you for the contribution. I am unsure as to what you did not understand with the original thread as your response is correct.

The reference to AT&T is due to it being the most referenced Note 3 GPS-errored unit when run through this and other external search engines. You may already be aware that these users are organising petitions to rectify their issues, in many cases with them believing it is purely due to the AT&T network / Note 3 and nothing else.

This is clearly not the case and some novices may not be aware of this.

Coming from the i9300 too I am fully aware of the AGPS.

As mentioned at the end of the first post, for information only, as few search engine returns are mentioning non -AT&T.

Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] carl.schutte:
Hi,

Background context

I recently migrated from a free Google account to a Google Apps account.

I now have most of my app purchases assigned to old@gmail.com and some recent app purchases assigned to new@gapps.com.

To the best of my knowledge it's not possible to transfer those purchases from old@gmail.com to new@gapps.com.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S III (GT-I9305) with CyanogenMod 10.1.3-i9305 and Titanium Backup Pro.

Scenario

I reset my phone and configured it with old@gmail.com.

I downloaded all the apps purchased with this account and performed a backup with Titanium Backup.

I reset my phone again and configure it with new@gapps.com and restore my apps from the backup.

Titanium Backup alerted me that my Android ID had changed, so I reverted back to my previous Android ID.

Problem

When I try to update apps purchased with old@gmail.com, I get a 403 error in Google Play.

Question

Is it possible to update apps via Google Play if they were purchased with a different account and restored onto your phone?
[Google Chromecast] generationgav:
They'd be great to test setting up my system.

http://www.dolby.com/us/en/consumer/technology/home-theater/dolby-digital-plus-download.html

The audio doesn't play at all on the CC though. Any reason for this? We know it supports DD+
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
No we don't! The only multi-channel audio supported by the Chromecast is AAC:

Supported Media for Google Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Not entirely true....The Device itself is actually quite capable of spitting out Dolby Surround and does so using the Netflix app.....

The Issue is two fold....

1 - Dolby requires you to license the codec to be able to use it...Netflix did, Google did not....

2 - Netflix operates outside the Google "PROTECTED" Sandbox that all CCast SDK built apps operate in.And that allows it to operate without the usual restrictions imposed by Google on the hardware.

So it's not the device that is incapable it is really how Google has implemented using it.

And I'm not even sure that a Developer could buy a Dolby License and get it to work inside that sandbox either....

Google needs to add this capability by buying a license for Dolby and incorporating it into the Sandbox so other apps can benefit from it as well.

And truth is I wouldn't expect something like that until CCast II is announced. Lets hope it is announced at the next Google I/O
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
Nice post [MENTION=744716]Asphyx[/MENTION] ! Great info, didn't know that one. Would be great to get plex to play my DD+ movies
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
I'm no audio freak but I do appreciate decent surround sound and, to these old ears at least, Plex does a great job of transcoding DTS, DTS-HD MA and DD (AC3 ) tracks to the AAC 5.1 that the Chromecast will accept.

I haven't tried personally but I wasn't aware Plex doesn't accept DD+ soundtracks for transcoding to the CC. Hopefully, Asphyx might enlighten us on this one too?
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
It accepts DD+ but will remix it to PCM, just like it does for DTS HD. Hell, Plex Home Theater doesn't even support DD+ at the moment.

I despise this downmix too. It plays at a much lower volume with half the dynamic range that DD+ has.
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
Ah, so is your quibble more that DD+ is a such big jump up from AC3 that you don't want to revert to that level rather than that Plex messes up?

I am not familiar with DD+ but that is certainly the case (even to my tired old ears) with the lossless HD formats. I never really expected the CC to be able to handle these and Plex does a decent enough job with the few DTS-HD MA tracks I have tried. I do have a wired route to my amp via XBMC and tend to use that for the few rips I have with HD sound but the CC has the huge advantage of being so much more convenient to access :laugh:.

I've always assumed DD+ was something from back in the HD-DVD days? Is it still used much? Where does it sit IYO in the great scheme of multi-channel audio formats: let's say PCM stereo=2 and lossless HD (DTS-HD Master and Dolby TrueHD)=9. Where do your ears rank AC3, DTS, DTS-HD, DD+,
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
Yes, I am certain that AC3 is a big jump from any downmix.

When I play HD-DVD on Plex, it always starts with me increasing the volume about 20 db.. PCM has always been quite a loser in my eyes. DTS or DD has always been the winner. No matter what I am watching, it is always better to have at least one of these tracks. I am unsure of the difference between LPCM and PCM, but I believe it is the same thing in principal. The few disney movies I have with LPCM (Cars, Pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2 and 3) have a better soundtrack than what I hear when downmixed DD+ to PCM.

I can't really boast about my system, it's an 82" ISF and THX calibrated DLP, Pioneer amp, some awesome Inifity towers, Infinity Center and a super rich Velodyne subwoofer. Sounds awesome but, it's still what I'd call a budget system.. Waiting to get into a house I own for the McIntosh stuff :)

With respect to my system; Over the weekend, my son and I watched "The Amazing Spiderman 2" at theaters on an unfocused AMC Theaters projector. My system completely blew that theater away. Other than a couple effects in the surround channel, it wasn't candy to the ears like I expected it to be. Sony usually uses SDDS and not DD or DTS for theaters.

However, I digress, other than a heavy bass track, DTS has no advantages over DD. They both have splendid dynamic range.

PlexHT is going to get DD+ and other neat audio additions soon enough, but that's only for PlexHT as this thread describes.. So, I guess I am a little off topic and I am just rambling :)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Plex will transcode DD+. DHT, AC3 and pretty much any codec FFMPEG is capable of reading...But it usually selects AAC as the target output which the CCast sends as a PCM or LPCM stream to the receiver.

However FFMPEG has had some issues with some versions where it would get the tracks in the wrong place leaving some with no Back or Center Channel. I think most of that has been corrected recently but not sure.

As for the Volume issues you usually lose some volume for the sake of safety and not going over level on a transcode/encode.

In analog to digital work environment there are usually Bars and Tone that is supposed to allow you to set levels properly and be sure that no audio will be too hot for digitization as no audio that follows should be higher than the tone itself...But it's only as good a system as the guy who made the Original.

None of that exists in a digital file to file conversion. So what happens is during the encode it does Audio Leveling to make the loudest audio be good and bases the master volume based on that top mark respectively. Action movies are the worst offenders due to the difference in dynamics from Spoken Word to Action sounds.

AAC when transcoded to properly should be just as good as the Dolby is...It's the same audio the only difference is it is decoded and distinct in AAC but encoded and requires decoding by a Dolby Decoder when it's DHT or DD+. Whichthe transcoder is doing for you when it creates AAC.

The key to good sound is to really analyze the source your transcoding and really tweak the transcoding settings to optimal...

Since in Plex the server is doing the analyzing and the Hardware and source varies so much they tend to stick to transcoder settings that are SAFE FOR ALL as opposed to what is the best for any particular file.

In a situation ike Plex you really should do manual transcoding for each file before you add it to the Library. Then the server doesnt need to do it and you get the best output for each content.

If you find one where the Audio is low you can boost it and re-encode it...
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
I'd rather play it in MPC-HC. Going through and re-encoding almost 1TB of data isn't going to happen ;)

Thanks for the explanation though
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I fully understand and agree....I have much more than that myself which was all encoded in MP4/H.264/AAC and MP3 for Android playback (worked for CCast as well) but since then I have decided I really prefer the MKV container with H.264 video and Multitrack Audio (One Stereo and one for Commentary (AAC or MP3), One Surround (AAC or Dolby) and Subtitle track (en) as my preferred Library format.

It would be very hard to impossible for me to re-encode my current library to get what I want...Especially since much of my library is missing the pieces I want included (like Commentary, Multitracks and Subtitles).

So I'm taking it one collection at a time (I'm working on Aliens right now) and re-ripping from Blue Ray to get all the tracks I prefer.

Then replacing the entire collection at once...

Even more time consuming than a simple re-encode but at least I know I will have the movies I really care about archived properly.

For most though Transcoding is more than good enough. I'm just a bit obsessed with how I keep my Library.
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
Pretty sure too PCM and LPCM are the same thing i.e. totally uncompressed lossless audio. My amp seems to use PCM to indicate stereo and LPCM for multi-channel though I am not sure if this is a universal convention.

The way I understand it is everything is output from the CC as (L)PCM, having been delivered by Plex as AAC. So if you are saying your DD+ is getting down-mixed to emerge as (PCM) stereo then that should not be happening and will certainly sound way inferior to the original multichannel track. It should be getting output as 5.1 (L)PCM.

But even this is not going to sound as good as the soundtracks on the titles you mention since LPCM from the original source will be as good as it gets - delivered to your amp completely untouched, blank space and all. The (L)PCM delivered by CC to your amp is different to this though. This audio has already been compressed to DD+ and then converted by Plex to AAC. But, as Asphyx has indicated the resulting stream from the CC should sound, as near as makes no difference, just as good as the Dolby if it is getting properly transcoded.

It would probably be worth investigating further if your DD+ is actually getting down-mixed to stereo and if so why. Also, most of us using Windows did have a problem of missing rear channels when CC support by Plex was still in beta. That was soon sorted though, who knows, maybe not for some DD+ users?
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
It is because DD+ is not supported in Plex at the moment. They were waiting for XBMC to get an update called "Gotham" then they were going to fork off that build.

https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/109415-does-plex-support-dd/#entry648738
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
Well Gotham has been out a few weeks now so hopefully you won't have long to wait :good:.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
What was "good" about Gotham, other than support for DD+ ? I am interested to hear the commits that Plex might also fork.
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
I haven't upgraded yet - I'm being chicken and waiting for stable release of 13.1.

Apparently DD+ used to work fine in Eden (v 11) but Frodo (v12) broke it!

[Galaxy S 5 General] Acaibowl:
On my wife's Galaxy S5 when she tries to type the first word in Japanese that begins with あ or い or う or え or う(a, i, u, e or o) the first character disappears and it's substituted by the second character.

Example:

Arigatou aあ riり gaが toと uう

She types:

"a" and then as soon as she types "r" for "ri" the "あ" dissappears and the word starts with "r".

If you type:

"a", pause for two seconds then type "r", the あ dissappears.

This behaviour is not present on my Note 3.

It happens when she uses Google Play app or Facebook app for example.

Other "local" apps like Memo or Contacts work fine.

The workaround I found :

Type the first two letters very quickly in order to maintain the first character.

Example:

ar あr

It only happens with the very first word when she start typing a message.

[Galaxy S 5 General] android.zealot.fervor:
Android 4.4*KitKat*might have rolled out to quite a few Samsung devices already, but the update is yet to start making its way to most of the low-end and mid-range phones in the company’s lineup. We’ve heard that Samsung has been working on those updates and is also*planning on bringing Android 4.4.3 to some of its devices, and thanks to our insider, we’ve obtained info on where the company stands regarding said updates. Starting off with*Android 4.4.3*(build number KTU70), the yet-to-be announced version of Android is currently being tested on the*Galaxy S5*(both the Exynos and Snapdragon models) and the LTE-A variant of the*Galaxy S4*(GT-I9506A).

However, Android 4.4.3 is only being integrated with Samsung’s own software and features at the moment, so it will likely not be made available for a month or so (Google will probably roll it out by the end of this month or sometime in June before Google I/O, after which we can expect to see it rolling out to the Galaxy S5 and other devices.) It’s also a bit strange that 4.4.3 is currently being integrated into the Galaxy S4 LTE-A – from what we know, Android 4.4.2 is actually being tested on that device, but since it hasn’t rolled out yet, we might see the handset skipping directly to 4.4.3 in the future.

As far as older, more modestly powered phones are concerned, it seems that Samsung is on track to follow the time frame that we’ve seen in the past. Devices like the*Galaxy Grand 2,*Galaxy Mega 5.8, and the*Galaxy Mega 6.3*are undergoing final testing and should get the Android 4.4.2 update sometime in June. Like the Galaxy S4 LTE-A, some of these devices might skip directly to Android 4.4.3 as well, so it’s possible that the update’s rollout could be pushed into July or later.

I've just took delivery of my Kingston 1GB MicroSD card and all is not going well.

Using TomTom on it causes the entire phone to hang. This can happen is various places, there seems to be no real pattern to it. It can hang when running the initial config screens or if you manage to get passed them it will always hang when trying to enter a street/city name. Normally I can get a few characters in to typing the name and then it will freeze. Only a soft reset will bring it back.

I've tried formatting the card on the PC as FAT and FAT32 but neither seem to improve things.

Anyone else had issues with reading from MicroSD cards hanging their phone - up until installing the card the phones been rock solid?

BTW: It's a SPV M3100. Nothing else is installed - it's just been hard reset
