Yes, I have the same issue.
It seems like it is a bug, I checked it out roughly a month ago and it was there. Since the new January security update it disappeared.
Hopefully they will get it fixed soon.

I had problems on 4.3 but haven't had any problems since I upgraded to kitkat. If you're still on 4.3 try flashing the fix in this thread
GPS toolbox apps might also help like GPS Status & Toolbox or GPS Fix...but I think those just speed up the GPS connection they don't really "fix" anything
Im on stock kit kat

This thread might be able to help...it's a little old but I think it covers everything that everyone has tried to fix GPS issues
Another possibility is it's a hardware problem which you might be able to fix yourself following instructions here
Past sending it in for repair I'm out of ideas maybe someone else can be more helpful here
I have heard the newest maps messed stuff up. Try uninstalling the update or find one apk and see if that fixes

nuclear option is reflash your ROM (factory reset for stock if you don't want to mess with Odin) and see if that fixes it...

If you got it through AT&T a warranty exchange should be pretty quick but your call! I don't think I'd last more than a couple of days without GPS :laugh:
No I bought it out right
Waiting for the new note 4 to do a contract so get a discount on it

Compass not calibrated?

I have a new Note 4 that i got on launch day and my compass goes crazy after a day after doing a battery pull. The battery pull fixes it, but not for long. Is there any way i can fix it or should i get a replacement? I hope this isnt a hardware issue... Any help? Thanks! It starts off fine. Then goes off by 120-180 degrees. Help.

Forgive my ignorance but what are you using for a compass? I do not see a stock app for that. Let me know and I will test for you.

Not seeing any issues. Also took the opportunity to test GPS and navigation and no issue there either except Samsung shipped the beta version of Navigation!

Did you try turning the phone 360 to test the compass for all the directions, because mine works if i go south our west, but when i go north or east it goes crazy and jumps around and spins, it may be hardware issue, so I may replace it, please feel free to help or update on the problem for anybody other than me that has this. Thanks kietht!

Yes, I tested it while I was driving. I have not seen an issue with compass or GPS.

Ok thanks!
Hmm that's interesting, because I too have noticed my compass acting a little strange. I was one of the people who received the Note 4 early via mail on the 13th so it's a device from the first 'litter.' I'm debating if I should trade it out for a new one....
Keep us posted.

Mine is working better now, maybe only 5-10 degrees off and no jitters, i would recommend turning off the phone, taking out the battery, putting the battery bacj in and restarting it, it seems the soft reset did it for me, some temp. Compass files may :laugh:have been messed up, just dont use gps status and toolbox unless its really messed up.
Cheers!

Motion Sense stops working

Had anyone else noticed this?
I have one of the wallpapers that react to motion sense movement so it is easy to see if it is working. After a reboot it is ok, but later in the day it seems to stop. I'm wondering if it is after being in standby for a while or being in a pocket?
In case anyone else comes across this, contacted Google support and they said it was a hardware issue. Swapped for new device and seems ok now.

How did you notice at first that it wasn't working? Just because of the wallpaper or because of something else in the interaction with the phone?

Curious to know this too
As mine sometimes doesn't respond
Which wallpapers respond to motion sense?

It's probably the Pokemon wallpaper.
All the wall papers in "coming alive" selection respond to the motion sense. This was the only way I noticed, the face unlock seems to be got ready when the phone is picked up so this was very fast even when motion sense wasn't working.
Worth checking as my phone always worked when it was rebooted, but then just stopped after a while. The new phone has been perfect and the wall paper always responded.

Camera help

I need help...... I've bought the pixel 4 xl about 2 months ago. But I've realized something. The image quality in the view finder is so low, like bad compared to the final image. Idk why this is an issue because it's supposed to preview the final image straight from the view finder. I've looked everywhere to find a fix, even sent reports to Google but I have no luck. Anyone experienced this before know how to fix?

Sorry for the bad news but I suspect maybe your camera is broken. I just bought a 4XL also and mine works great.

Think so? It takes really good pictures like I said. But the view finder is just low quality for some weird reason

Which software version are you on?
13.1.14.6.W10 just dropped and it could fix that behavior as it is described as an update to multiwindow

Thanks for taking the time to answer.. Im on 13.1.14.5.w10 which may explain that. I'm not getting any new update at the moment, unfortunately. will wait. Does the new update also improve a bit battery usage, it is draining quite fast now!

bruh i'm so sorry
I should highlight here GIZTOP professionalism and customer care. They will replace it under warranty for me. I just need to send it back... With the hassle of not being able to use Google to reinstall the phone

that's literally top of the class!
I'll have to see if I can get some help but I will lose root but hooray for giztop!
Hello I also have some flickering since last update. The left part of the big screen sometimes appears darker than the right and flickers. Closing and opening sometimes fix it, also when toggling off auto brightness. Anyone in the same case or is it a hardware failure?
