Note 3 Lollipop Update problems and solutions

[sardar615]

Either find it in the application manager (settings - app manager disable) or data manager and disable.

Its actually harder than it appears. I make it look easy.

I feel silly even asking this, but I can't seem to find the "Unified Daemon" in App Manager and I don't know how to get to the Data Manager. Not sure if this makes a difference, I am using Nova Launcher, so I know my weather is not updated by the stock app, so maybe, that's why I can't find this app? Please let me know, thanks.
I thought I knew a lot about phones, but I guess I don't....

I found mine in "settings" > data manager. It showed up as the third highest app behind Google play and netflix. I selected and was taken to the app info page where I tapped and selected "disable"

No such option on my Note 3.

No such option on my Note 3.

Sorry data usage, not data manager. Mine was there (removed now obviously) listed as the 3rd app shown. My guess is if it's not showing there on yours, it's not the cause of your high battery consumption.

Yup, it's not there, but then again data is not a concern for me, as I am a legacy UDP user. But I do see a couple of apps that are higher than I would have expected. Thanks for your help.

I need unified daemon for the weather app on my gear 2. Whatever the reason my battery life sucks in 5.0 compared to kk.

Settings -> Application manager -> swipe over to "All" (There's downloaded, SD card, Running, All, Turned off) -> Scroll down to Unified Daemon

Got a note3, and can't seem to be able to upgrade it to 5.0 my laptop is DOA so I have to do it through the phone. Im aware of how to do all that, I just need to find the right downloads. I'm on a Sprint note3, GT-N9oop. Any takes? HELP!
Thanks in advance,
Ridge.

I'm hallucinating so bad, I thought I was using an iPhone lol. SM-N00P

Hi All,

My wife and I both have Galaxy Note 3's and have taken the update. Both our phone seem to be working the same as they did before the update, she is not having any problems with her's and I am only having two minor issues with mine.

The issues with mine are this:
The Touch Key Lights in the lower corners of my phone will just turn off for no reason. I have them set in setting to Stay On all the time and the option is checked, however they still just turn off. They still work they are just not lit up.

The other issue I'm having is Backup Assistant Plus. I never have used or activated it, however before the update I would wake every morning to a notification that it had backup up some of my contacts, to where I don't know!! but it wasn't really a big deal. Now after the update I see the notification that an error has occurred and backup didn't work. Yes I have disabled the Cloud app, but before that I disabled the Backup Assistant App and even removed it, but it stayed in my Account list and I can't remove it from there. My wifes phone don't have the Backup Assistant App on her phone or in here accounts list. She has the Cloud app and it's enables but she has never opened it and don't use it, and never gets any notification about it.

I have also notice that her setting page is different than mine. Keep in mind now that both our phones are stock and we don't have any third party or different apps on our phone completely stock. Her setting appears to be in pages across the top that you swipe across to get to certain settings, Mine are all on one page and I scroll up and down in that one window.

It's strange to me how two completely stock phones can look so different after an update, If memory serves me the same thing happen when we updated to 4.4.4 but our phone worked as before. We didn't get the folders on the home pages either as I have read in other post, which is a good thing, I like my home pages just like they are.

I really don't want to do a factory reset but I not sure how to fix my minor issues. I tried putting the Cloud app back on the phone, but the Backup Assistant Plus is still in my Accounts list and still fails trying to sync. I would really like to get rid of both of them since I back up every thing using Google.

Thanks for any suggestion, or help.

The settings view is an option. On the settings screen, press the menu button, and it will either give you the option of switching to tab view or list view depending on the current setting.

I'm not familiar w/ your other issues, so I'll leave that to someone else.

Before update to Lollipop 5.0 when I would reboot the phone the recent used list of apps (long press on center button) would be cleared. Now after reboot it is still there. So no more advantage to a reboot. What's up with that. Everyone else getting that?

I just tried that, mine is doing the same thing!

Do you guys often get message saying sorry but this app or that app has closed?

I have found using Lollipop 5.0 for 2 weeks that all the problems I have encountered could be resolved by switching a toggle or checking or unchecking a box!!!
In most cases I don't believe a Factory Reset is necessary!
I did do a Factory Reset and it resolved Nothing!
Anymore problems, keep this thread going! I will jump in and help if I can.
This update is not as bad as I originally thought but it does need bug fixes!

Hi all,
This is the only issue I am still having with the update. The other issue with Back up Assistant Plus I have resolved. Other than the Touch key lights the update is good for me.

I tried that feature on mine, the Touch key lights stay lit as long as the screen is lit.
When the screen times out, out go the Touch key lights.
I assume that's how it is supposed to work?

 

[HamRadioNut]

That's correct, however my screen never went out, just the Touch key lights. They would still work, they just wasn't lit anymore. Now if I pressed the power button and lock the screen, then unlock it again, they would come back on.

I've tried to get my phone to replicate what your phone is doing but mine seems to do what you want yours to do. I like the buttons lit while the display is on! I'm going to leave it that way!
I'm sorry I can't come up with a suggestion to fix your phone!

In settings and display there is a selection for touch screen light duration. I have mine set to 6 seconds. You can change out there to stay on for different times. I hope I didn't miss a post were you already tried this.
