Self diagnostic tool - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note

This might be yesterday's news but I wanted to share what I discovered today.
Our Note II has a built in diagnostic tool that you can do various screen, sensors, LED etc tests. To do so start your phone app and dial *#0*#
To read what tests can be done go to the link below.

Wave To Answer using Tasker

Has anybody tried this? I can't get this to work.

Looks pretty cool. Nice find. Going to give it a whirl and report back.

It doesn't seem to work on stock One. I tested on my old Captivate running CM9 and it works. I'm researching a Tasker workaround, but unfortunately it may just be that Take Call is root-only.
Cool! Sure hope someone can get this to work properly.
I actually found an app in the play store called Wave Control pro. I was able to control my music player by waving my hand in front of the proximity sensor.

It works
I downloaded it and got it working on my Samsung Epic 4G touch I realized the phone has to be laying flat down and you have to wave your hand from the camera downward
No luck on my HTC one, maybe it's the Rom that I am on.

Calibration compass?

Anyone having issues with the compass uncalibrating after a reboot is this a known issue?

Me too. Either of you guys rooted? I used the initial method, using MI1... I don't remember it happening before. I'm downloading MI9 now to see if it was fixed.
Also, how is your GPS navigation? Mine's just awful. Jumping around all over the place. There's a couple of threads for that already, and I don't want to hijack the thead. Just wondering if the two could be related?
I'm rooted mi1 --> mi9 rdlvega

My gps is fine on locking but the compass is seriously off and I need to calibrate it every time I reboot even then it's not as accurate as my s3 I'm rooted mi9 this issue occurred even without root

Ok. MI9 fixed my GPS issues. Night and day. Google navigation was almost unusable. Always jumping to different streets, slow refresh rate, etc. My compass performance is also MUCH better. But still has a few issues. I'm using the smart compass app from the store. Upon reboot, it typically measures magnetic field strength at ~230uT (red text). At this point the reading is just garbage. Jumps all over the place. After a few minutes/seconds (might just be motion recalibrating compass), the reading jumps back down to ~40 uT (green text). At this point, it's actually usable, although sometimes off by as much as 20-30 degrees.
You guys using s view covers?

Nope. Bare Nekid!

I thought it was just mine. Compass/accelerometer is a bit jumpy too. I notice it most in Sky Map+.
I had same issue naked with field compass pro but I read on another thread that it was specifically cause of s view cover.

Kept telling me to recalibrate but it would not calibrate no matter how many figure 8s I made. Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium HD app
The Compass issues have nothing to do with S-Cover. I had them, too, when I first bought the phone. There were reports of this problem with the S4, too, IIRC. You have to calibrate your sensors using a program like GPS Status. It's a sightly more involved process than just doing the figure 8 thing -- but not much.
I'll give it a try now.

Xda app

Hey guy's. I've been having trouble with this app constantly force closing on me. Is anyone else having this issue? It happened on my note1 and now it's happening on my new note 3. Thanks in advance.

The last time I went to XDA through an app I used Tapatalk instead of XDA because I already use Tapatalk for all the other forums. I did buy the XDA app to support XDA, I just don't like keeping so many different apps all for forums. I found that the Tapatalk app doesn't crash when I browse on it, if you wanted to try that?
i've noticed that it crashes when you are giving to many inputs i.e. tapping too much. If you avoid this, the app works well.
There is also an issue of tap detection. when i try to reply to someone i have to tap on the post below the one desired. :/ but it doesnt crash the app... so thats a plus right?

Appreciate it. Yeah, I've never quite gotten used to Facebook, still keep forums I've been on for years.... Tapatalk is a really nice way to organize them all. The only thing that drives me nuts is that when you go to download a file off of a forum it opens a browser which kind of disrupts the flow, but I think XDA app did the same thing. That would be a tremendously useful thing for the XDA app to do is manage XDA downloads, but for all I know it does that now, I haven't used the XDA app in awhile. These ATT ROMs are around a gig sometime... Hell to download on a mobile phone just because so many things seem to be able to break the download. And the download managers seem to hiccup sometimes with the site that are primarily used for hosting, don't know why.
I bought the xda premium app a couple years ago to show my support. But it does suck on this phone. Doesn't show pictures corectly. The search function is not very helpful. When I open it if it's been in the the background for a while it won't connect to the server to refresh. I have to close it and open it again. Also when leaving the app the animation lags really bad. I always thought it ironic that the XDA app was so buggy lol
**side note- I don't know the first thing about making apps or how hard they are to debug and make run smoothly on all devices. So I'm not hating. Just throwing it out there...

4.4 hidden Easter Egg not right after upgrade

Anyone that upgraded today have the same issue as me?
After double checking my Android version in settings and seeing 4.4.2, I fast clicked the version number to her to the K that spins. Well, my K doesn't spin at all. I have to long press it to get to the red Android sign, and then long press again to get to the android tiles underneath. My tiles don't float around though. My wife's Note 3 upgraded fine and the easter egg works perfectly. This is making me paranoid that something else isn't right with my upgrade... I just haven't found it yet.

Mine spins, shows k. Tap it, spins. Tap and hold for red Android

I know what it should do. My wife's works fine. Mine doesn't. Mine doesn't spin, and my tiles aren't animated.

Sounds petty, but I'm just worried about what else didn't update correctly. May have ATT reflash in store.

They won't be able to. As of right now, KK is OTA only.

Could there be a problem with your screen's touch sensitivity? Have you tested that in other contexts? Or tried using the stylus with the Easter Egg?
Thanks. K now spins, but the second easter egg (android logo tiles) do not animate... Aka fly across the screen when you click them. Instead they blink in and out. No animation. Interesting.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Fixed. I had animation scales, rendering etc turned off in developer mode prior- in orde to make phone run faster. Good lesson.

Thank you! I am trying that but nothing happens. I'm tapping it as fast as I can.
My Note 3 is completely stock. I know the Developers is turned on but have no idea what that even means.
Thanks again!

As long as you have a Note 3 that has been upgraded to 4.4.2, you can access this easter egg (or any device that has 4.4, not just a Note). If you go to YouTube and search for '4.4 easter egg’, there will be a ton of vids of people showing how to get there.

Question concerning XDA app

Ok, has anyone experienced while using the XDA app for your phone that it sometimes doesn't always register "thanks" or when you press "refresh" at the bottom of the last page of a thread and it doesn't show new posts unless you back out? Just figured I would ask in case someone knows how to fix that

I have the thanks problem also

I have dealt with that for a while. The xda app sucks. It been reported yet no one does anything about it. Yet tapatalk works more then the xda app. It has a few issues but it is the lesser of 2 evils
