I am sure there are a lot of you out there that change ROMs frequently but I have done a few recently that make me think I may need professional help...
I wont name the ROMs I was switching from/to or any reasons behind my switching. I will simply say I was not happy with them for one reason or another.
Two times over this past weekend I got home after 4 in the morning and tryed a couple ROMs out till around 5 a.m.
Another time I was downtown and got anooyed at a particular issue in a ROM and flashed from my carpc...
The final time was today on a flight to St. Louis... I flashed my phone on a plane, in the air. I may have a started a whole new mile high club. (I am a card carrying member of the original mile high club already)
Anyone else update their ROM in unique situations/places?
Hi,
I am fill utterly helpless.
My OPO was normal this morning. Went to my morning ride with the phone in my pocket.
When I got back, It was asking the initialization question of "What language would you like ?"
It took me few minutes to understand that it is like fully formatted and ALL my data is gone. It was only partially backup up (did not back up videos... damn) .
I was running the official CM12.1 , and it was also fully encrypted !!!!
Does anyone have any understanding of what could be the cause ?
Thanks,
SK.

I'm experiencing the same thing.
It's happened to me a total of 3 times. Every time it's been during a hot day. Every time it's been with me walking around for an extended distance.
1) Walking through a downtown, trying to meet up with friends while in Grand Rapids, MI
2) Traveling through East Africa <-this one was a whole lot of fun :-/
3) Walking through Grand Rapids, MI again. Same downtown area, about the same heat as before.
Each time my phone has been in my pocket and it's been around mid-day. Each time the battery is charged.
Additional fun, the first time this happened, not only did I lose everything on the phone, but it also rebooted, and set itself up in ~SPANISH~.
Best of luck, I haven't seen anything in response to a resolution.
EDIT: I should also add that these happened over the course of 3 years. The most recent time was 2 weeks ago on 6.0, stock rom, nothing has been changed on the phone.
I've had my Gear for about 10 days and have piled up over 12000 steps each day, but have only been credited with 1 floor climbed. My house has 3 stories so I'm pretty sure that total should be closer to 100. Anyone else having this issue?
Don't hold onto any railings and make sure your arm swings as if you are walking.

LOL, all I could thing of was Seinfeld when I read your response. "How's this? Or this?" "You seem to be getting the hang of it." Seriously, though, I deliberately hold the rail with the opposite hand when climbing stairs so that I can swing the one with the Gear on it. Still nothing. Not sure what's up. Any other ideas?
I walk up and down to the sixth floor at work a couple of times a day and typically that adds up to 2 or 3 floor. I have a 3 story house, same thing. The floor counter sucks...
Thanks. Definitely sounds like it's not just me. Maybe a firmware update will fix it.
Well, at least now I know it's not just me having this issue
same problem never counts my stair climbs
If it is basing floors on the altimeter, that might explain the problem. The altimeter on this thing is trash. It's rarely within 100 feet of my actual elevation, even after a calibration. Doubt that can be fixed, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Thinks I'm riding a bike when I get in the car sometimes. Also the pace in S Health is way off. Not the best fitness tracker around but we don't have any other options.
Though not accurate; mine is working fine. I remember reading something like 'one floor is calculated as approximately 3 metres'.
Can someone confirm this?
Floor count
I've done at least 10 floors today and the Gear shows 1. It was OK yesterday. Any ideas?

A reboot got it counting floors accurately again
Same problem. Altimeter has me at -6M! Fitbit shows 10 floors to S3 2 floors. Rubish
On the flip side of the problem - Mine detects elevator rides as stairs climbed.
I think it is the same "rules" as the FitBit I was wearing before the S3. They only register a floor if the flight of stairs consist of 10 continuous steps.
I have a split level house, two flights of 8 steps.
If I walk up one it doesn't register as a 'floor' but if I walk up both (as long as I don't delay on the landing) it increases my S3's floor count by 1 floor.
On my outside walks a steady climb up a hill does register floor counts as well.

Same issue for me too. Had the watch for about 3 weeks and very few floor counts
I've noticed the same as all, I get a very low stair count. I have one set of stairs in the house and I'm up and down them all day, but the count stays low. I had a Fitbit that would give me a very accurate count of my stairs. I've turned off floor count since it's almost useless.

Yeah it's not accurate at all....I get less than 5 floors a day and I have 2 stair wells at home which I dash through hourly...It's flawed for sure.

I've been trying out different functions; floor count is definitely buggy, so is the heart rate monitor especially when you are working out, the distance counter too counted an extra 1 kilometre on my run, the Calorie counter is also buggy for Other Workout option as it confuses vigorous and moderate intensity.
I've tried turning it on and off, I've tried cleaning the ram, I've tried swinging mu arms, I've tried to walk slower and faster but it's still there. I would send an email to S Health, but they'll like send me to another guy and ask me to detail it again, and I'm jist too lazy.
To be honnest, all the sensors on the GEAR S3 are totally screwed up.
Floor count, steps, heart rate, altimeter, barometer all terrible. The most inccurate looks to be the altimeter. Staying in my house for a week, altimeter fluctuate between -71m and +70m... USELESS! Not too sure if a firmware upgrade can fix those sensors or if they are low cost pieces of crap. Will see... or not
Hello everybody,
About 20 days ago I noticed that the watch was not showing my heart rate when I was training and then realized that the heart rate monitor was not working at all (the green light on the back does not go on). I've reset the watch to factory settings several times and still no good news. Hope you have an answer since I live in abroad and the warranty is only valid with an US address.
The watch is not damaged, nor I have used it underwater or in a steam or sauna.
Thanks!!
Hello everyone,
I just got a Mi 10 Ultra this week here in the UK and started using it as a sat nav in my car. Two days ago I did notice that the phone suddenly starts flashing like crazy and then reset itself many times when I hit a pot hole (or several of them, some routes are in bad condition here in my area) and the car does a big jump. My phone is attached to a screen holder in my car. The same happened again yesterday.
Why is that? It seems something related to high vibration/big jump, perhaps I need to do something in the settings to prevent this from happening?
I have an old Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and that never happens even if I shake it heavily. Actually I had to stop to take my M10U from the holder and put the Redmi Note 4 instead... any comments?
