Samsung Galaxy Note 3 GPS Issue

their busy botching the S5. I'm going to demand they replace mine with the s5 when it comes out. 

Goodluck on getting your phone replaced other than Note 3. I got into a long talk with them about the phone. I demanded something at par with the price and features of note 3, I demanded specifically iphone 5s. They say they cant do this or I buy it at full price. And then I ask, "what about the warranty and the price I paid for my note 3?". They said and I quote, "You still can do or use it whatever you desire about it". What do you guys say? Isn't is stupid for them even to consider that? But anyway I got the same answer for both tech support and his manager "Jeremy". The only difference is that the manager would offer me an alternative of getting no cost alternative of a lower grade phone, which is a Samsung Mega and something else. Then again I told them, are they crazy? Its less than half of the price of my phone and it does not compare to the features at all. 

As you can see talking to them is really pointless they will really box you out till you can do nothing about it. They would just tell you at the end that your only option is to wait for the fix. Which maybe release after my warranty is off and then maybe I cannot do anything about it.

The way I see it is that the warranty only covers replacement of the device with the same device or something lower. This way they can profit from the difference. The endpoint is that you and me are the biggest loser on this. I dont think the warranty can be applied as well since right from the start they sold you a defective device which takes a while for you to notice the problem. It took me a couple of months till I realize it was a real issue. Part of the reason is that I came from an apple device and using an andriod takes a while to understand. This plays well on their side. I find their practice as a SCAM as well knowing that they acknowledge the problem and still persist on selling the device as well as do not support their ailing customers on time. They may say they are doing something, but when you look at time wise and report wise, they stop telling us the progress and they they stop contributing to the thread no matter people here are really furious. 

If anyone has a better deal or option that they receive on getting rid of the phone as getting a replacement or reimbursement, or something of settlement please do post, or if you are binded by a contract not to tell messaging privately would work. I am pretty sure everybody would be delighted to see some light.

It is definitely frustrating to have AT&T 'sort of' acknowledge the issue but provide ZERO updates.  Oddly enough, when the game 'Battlefield 4' came out and there were bugs (which all BF games have had at launch to some degree or another), it was all over the media.  I think this needs to be picked by more tech/new sites; the lack of communication is simply inexcusable.  I'm sorry, but there needs to be some punishment for this kind of mishandling of communications.

For now, I've installed a custom 4.4 ROM based on the kitkat leak and that has fixed the GPS issue.  FYI - it doesn't trip 'KNOX' and you can get back to stock pretty easily.

Still, I pre-ordered an unlocked Sony Xperia Z2 from the UK and I'll be getting rid of the Note 3 when AT&T eventually provides a fix.
