Gear S3 to sensitive? - Samsung Gear S3

Hi!
I've been using te Gear S3 for 5 days now. And I feel the acelerometer or something could be a little too sensitive.
I had the wrist gesture turned on and I turned it off since que it was all the time turning the screen on. While sitting at my desk, or while driving, it keep turning on.
One other thing that i'm starting to notice is that it seems to over register things. Just the other day I went to the gym, and it says I've climbed 66 floors!
One other thing is that I work sitting a look and it barely seems to register that I'm sitted. It seems only when I'm very still, watching TV, that it register that I'm sitted.
Do you have similar behavior? See the picture for the activity. Does this seems normal for someone that works at a desk?

Could I have hardware malfunction?

Your stair climbing numbers seem to be just the opposite of what most people are experiencing. Like mine, it seems like most people complain about it not registering stair climbs instead of what you're seeing. I have to pick my arm up and make a good turn before my face turns on. You could try resetting it, but I guess that would mean seeing it up again. It does seem like yours is too sensitive though.

Thank you for your reply.
I'm returning it today. Just last night it registered I've been up 4 times, while I was sleeping! And stills indicates I've been 12h standing everyday!
I have a Polar M400, is not equally good looking has the Gear S3, but sure is a lot more accurate. I'll try to trade it for another unit. If I get the same result, I'll look for other brands. What good is for a smartwatch if is not that smart?

Other than the stair climbing being off, I've found all the other sensors very accurate. I've compared all the other sensors against multiple other devices and all seem to be right on.

Graphics bugging in touch flo, normal?

That happens to me from time to time. Sometimes I'm doing something and it suddenly happens, sometimes it's happened while the screen's been turned off and no programs have been running in background.
So is this a normal TF3D feature, or should I contact warranty services?
The graphics everywhere else are normal, it just seems to affect the TF3D.
Have you tried a hard reset? No that is definitely not normal... try a hard reset. If that doesnt solve it you should probably contact warrenty services.
Mine does it too. It also produces an effect that looks a bit like a 'broken screen', AND sometimes, just for fun, it pretends it's an old analogue TV that someone unplugged the aerial from (ie snow). All have been covered elsewhere on XDA. Mine has been doing it since day one (along with GPS lag about as long as a Nimitz class carrier) and three months later it still keeps on plodding along, annoying the hell out of me, making me wish I haden't wasted £479.99 on it....
On a more practical note, it looks like you have altered your Touch Flo a bit, mine has problems with the bog standard ROM and with customisations to the Manila.
*EDIT* Actually, it looks like your Touch Flo is bog standard so i'll shut up. Ahem.
Hehe yeh, it's the standard TF3D, and yes I've tried hard reset, no help. Sent the phone to the shop I bought it from, let's see if they can do anything about it.
Unfortunately the place I bought mine from doesn't take returns after 28 days. I have funally badgered HTC support into offering a repair, but I have a bad feeling that the will simply send it back and say it's okay (then give me a bill, LOL ; )
I'm actively considering flashing another ROM but can't make up my mind.... Hope the shop you bought it from replaces it : )

[APP] Call of Duty Elite now available!

For those waiting for the Android version to be released, it was this morning! Unfortunately, it appears to be just a port of the iPhone version. Our Android keys (Menu, Home, Back, Search) do not work. So bigger screens may have an issue reaching the in-app keys at the top of the screen. Other than that, it's pretty well polished. Changed some classes this morning and sent them to the game.

Ah the ever classic PP90M1 class. Put some rapid fire on that baby, be ridiculously overpowered (and be left without a bullet after 5 kills...).

Lol. I've tried rapid fire on it before. Took it off immediately. That's my Drop Zone class. Although I usually switch between the pp90 and the mp7.
EDIT: Found the APK, HERE it is if anyone else needs it.

Call me a noob, but I'm all about the pp90m1 with rapid fire. I keep hearing people complaining about how it's overpowered as if they couldn't play with it themselves... Good times
HATE ****ty iphone ports Sky News do it!
Thanks tho, but these lazy devs annoy me!

Leaving the O3D community in style!

I don't really like these kinds of topics, but I found my situation quite funny and perhaps worth sharing.
Last Friday I lost my O3D after it fell out of my bag.
I was riding this:

}
and descending this road, the Transfagarasan:
I built the bike myself, I even made a bike mount that fitted the phone and its flipcase, and it would stay put no matter how hard the bike fell. However, that particular day I had it in a pocket in the rear bag, charging from an external battery. I don't know why I didn't put the phone in the back pocket of my cycling jersey, it would have been way more secure.
The upside, of course, was the ride! I was so happy at the bottom, after over 5000ft (1500m) of teeth-grinding descent, that when I got that sick feeling out of the blue, looked back and saw the charging cable dangling freely, I just couldn't get angry. I had already lost my touring colleague the previous day due to different views over the tour, so after loosing the phone and consequently the tour schedule, camera, gps, radio, weather app, emergency communications and nearly all the photos (I had uploaded 3 of them on the road), I just felt defeated and rode home for the next 2 days. I bought a map to plot a quick and easy route home, and I could have bought a camera and a phone, but I felt like crap for loosing the almost 300$ I paid for the phone and decided to end the tour after a week's riding of the planned 3.
Now I got myself a Dell Streak 5, and while I miss the 3D capabilities and the camera on this one isn't great, I really like it and it's nice not having that feeling that you might still be missing a call now and then and not know about it. Nonetheless, I hope ICS will be everything we ever hoped for the O3D, and the wait won't be for nothing!
Damn. must feel bad to lose your phone.
I will hope ics will be everything for this device to.
but i think i already sold the phone before it comes out.
you may want to drive that road again and search for it.
a dell streak aint something either. i would rather call that crap than a phone.
i would search it. even if it's a extremely long road.
Greetings, Paul

Phone Gets Warm (even hot) in Pocket!?

Hello all! Recently got my Verizon Pixel and every time I put it in my pocket or use it, it randomly starts to warm up and gets uncomfortably hot. Is this supposed to be happening? Let me know what you guys think, thanks!

What apps do you have running, have you checked your battery stats and see what's running that could be causing this? Do you perhaps have a bad signal in your area?

I do not believe that it is any one app or background process causing this since the battery stats say that the Android system is what mostly drains the battery (along with the screen). In terms of signal, I do have somewhat weak connection here and there at the University. However when I go off campus, it also begins to get quite warm in the pocket.
I have quite the opposite. In fact, I've been crazy impressed with the lack of warmth during intense operations.

I've been having that same issue. I have the smaller Pixel. Usually rebooting seems to fixed whatever it is. But it's still a little disconcerting.
I have had another model of a smartphone couple of years ago and there were the reports of this phone getting hot when it was in the pocket. It turned out to be some sort of a health app that was running and sensors were active measuring stuff. Few other users chimed in confirming the issue, but my phone(same model as theirs) didn't have that issue. It was because after getting the phone, I disable all the app that I am not interested in. I believe it was a Samsung model, possibly their Galaxy line.

U11+ Backlight bleed.

As title says, the backlight started shining through on my U11+.

It happend today, i was on my phone. i put i down to go get something to eat and when i came back the bleed came. it's around the entire screen.
i haven't contacted HTC yet because i wanted to ask you guys and get your opinions first.
i haven't dropped it, i haven't thrown it after somebody. i've been looking after it.
Sorry for the unacceptable quality on the picture, it's taken with my work phone.
That's not good. RMA it if you can.
Did you get yours repaired? My u11 plus just did the same thing today. I am wondering if too much squeezing the edge sense warpped the screen.

It happened to me too: I was watching a film, checked phone and it presented the same symptom, but in always on display. Rebooted and same problem. After a little time (just 10 minutes or down there).
I am using edge function and it is no longer happened .

I think the last time it happened to me was in January.
It's a bit bizzar that it comes and goes like that, I still haven't figured it out what's causing it.
But it doesn't seem to be a problem any more so I'm not worried.
