Final Fantasy V - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone gotten this game to load? I'll touch the icon to launch the game, it'll sit there for a minute and then exit back to the home screen. No error message or anything. I sent a customer support email to Square Enix, but who knows how long that will take. Thought maybe someone here knew of the problem and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance!

Do you have xposed framework installed on your device?

I have exposed. Is there a module that could help? I bought the game but would like to copy it to another device without downloading it again.

Exposed is actually the problem. The newer square Enix games check for it and don't work if it is found. Not really sure why they do, but it started with version 1.0.3 of final fantasy dimensions, and it is also present in all versions of IV and V. You have to disable all modules and reboot for it to work.

I actually want to get the game on another device without re-downloading it. I bought the game on my phone because that's the only way I could get it charged to my AT&T phone bill, but I really wanted it to play on my Nexus 7 tablet. I just can't download the whole game again because my wifi sucks at my house. I don't have xposed on the Nexus, but I have Titanium Backup. I transferred the 3 TiBu files from my phone to my tablet and even the obb folder and put it in the obb folder under Android. I then ran Restore App + Data on the tablet. Now, whenever I tap the FFV icon on the tablet, it just hangs for a second and then goes straight to the home screen. I've used TiBu many times before and the method I just described has worked for every other app I've transferred from my phone to my tablet. I'm just confounded why it won't work with this app. Any other suggestions? You've already been a big help!

I think it has to do with the extra data the apply needs to download on first run. Titanium backup will backup the apk and save data, but it doesn't backup the usually 100+mb obb file stored on the sd card.
You could copy the file from:
sdcard/Android/obb/ com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFV_GP
to your computer and then transfer it to your other device and it should work.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Note 2 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2

I did that. I have the folder: com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFV_GP in Android/obb and in that folder contains the 140.43MB file: main.105.com.square_enix.android_Google play.FFV_GP.obb. I also have the apk.gz, properties and tar.gz files in the TiBu folder. I then ran Restore App+Data in TiBu. It then goes through the install process and then when it's finished, I hit Open, the screen goes blank for a minute and then exits to home.
Like I said, I've done this with many games and apps before and it's never given me problems like this stupid game is right now. Who would've thought it would be so hard to try to relive a small piece of my childhood?

Do you have xposed installed?

Fix I found for it to work
I have had the same problem stated, Xposed installed and FFV black screen and returning to home screen.
Xposed is the problem, the fix I found is to move Xposed as a system app and any modules.
Works for me.

Had the same problem. The game worked fine stock ROM but stopped working i flashed the ARHD custom ROM for HOX+ loaded with exposed. Coudn't fix the issue. Now playing it on my DHD.

NFC / Google wallet (4.3) issues...

Hey everybody ! I'm a regular user of Google wallet and since the android update to 4.3 I'm unable to utilize the apk.
I've tried with stock rooted and with custom rom but to no luck
I'm trying at a McDonald's location that I know works based on the fact that I've used it many times in the past. At least prior to the update.
Had anyone been able to use Google wallet since the 4.3 update?
Edit: I'm using an ota based rom
Interesting. I had no issue setting it up or enabling tap-to-pay, but I haven't actually tested it yet. I'm sure the custom ROM wouldn't work if it was anything besides Sense based, but I'm not 100 on Sense based custom ROMs. I'll test it out this evening when I swing by PetCo.
I haven't had any problems. Tested yesterday

What rom are you using please?
Have the same problem as OP. Tried it Stock rooted and BadBoy which im currently running. Both no go. Setup was fine, but when i try paying with it, nothing happens. And yes, my NFC was on and had a stable LTE connection.
No issues for me. I even got used as a training experience for a new PetCo employee. Apparently they'd been waiting on me coming back in so they could show them how to handle NFC payments. I'm not sure how I feel about being that well known at PetCo for using Google Wallet.
Tried Google Wallet at CVS Pharmacy and Best Buy both times the transaction was declined even though I wasn't close to my max credit line or on my debit card.
I've had issues since the update to the Google Wallet app. Not sure it's 4.3 the problem. But I'm getting a transaction declined when I use it. But I know it has nothing to do with my limit being reached because I always endup paying with the actual card.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4
@rougegoat & @Deathsnuggle was your use while on the new 4.3 rom or something else?
My experience is nothing happens. No vibration (which normally happens when you place phone on nfc placard to pay)
no denied (because it doesn't connect or communicate)
and after trying to communicate with my wife's phone (HTC evo 4g lte) which normally at least vibrates to acknowledge something's attempting to communicate, nothing happens there either (which used to before the update)
And just to clarify I did the radio update, firmware update, recovery update, then rom (android 4.3 w/sense 5)

Ok I wanted to post that I found out what was causing MY problem... I was using exposed framework. I'm NOT SAYING that it breaks nfc but some combination I had going was causing my issue.

I had a feeling it was related to this, but I love toolbox too much. What module were you using?
Well interestingly enough, the nfc function works with the android beam but my Google wallet apk isn't functioning.
Looks like back to the drawing board.

Yea I full wiped the other day and didn't install anything EXCEPT Google Wallet and couldn't get it to work. Wallet says tap and pay is setup correctly, but can never authorize a transaction even though my phone beeps and vibrates when it makes a connection with our vending machine. I'm on Badboyz, which is pretty close to stock.

Play Store Problems?

Anyone else having problems with the play store tonight? I did DG's root earlier, but I think it's unrelated because I didn't notice it until tonight.
I've tried clearing cache and data, in the play store and google services. I've even tried removing and adding my google account with mutliple reboots.
It fixed my original error [RPC:S-5:AEC-0], and now I'm just getting a server error (500).
Anyone else notice this? I want to know if it's google and I need to be patient, or if it's just me and I need to keep troubleshooting.
Thanks!

I was 10 seconds from starting a thread myself, getting the 500 error myself as well. I tried all of the following:
1. Go to settings -> Applications -> Manage -> All -> Market
2. Press the Force Close button, press OK to acknowledge this is what you want to do.
3. Press Clear Cache, press OK if it asks you to confirm your actions
4. Exit the screen
5. Go to settings -> Accounts and Sync
6. Click your Google account
7. Press Remove at the top right corner. Press OK to confirm this is what you want to do.
8. Exit the screen
9. Launch Market
10. The Market app will ask you for an account. Put your Google information back in.
11. Once you put the account info in, you'll get the disclaimer. Press OK.
12. Now try to download an app.
But you said you tested it on a non-rooted phone and it gets the same error at least puts me at ease a little. Are you on a custom FW or Stock?
I am on the new root. I have an s4 one another line and it is not rooted at all and it is getting the 500 error

I'm convinced it's on Google's end. I started having problems on my 1st gen Nexus 7 tablet. After fighting it for a half hour I decided to see if my Evo 4G phone was also having problems, and sure enough it is too.
Searching google for "google play store error" discussions in the last 24 hours I am seeing lots of other people chattering about problems too.

G Flex WIFI Tether

This is not my app I had nothing to do with the development of this app. I simply found this a couple years ago and it used to work on my first RAZR and RAZR HD. So I figured what the hell let's try it. I'm on T-Mobile and have 2.5 gigs of wifi tether included in my account. I installed this and turned it on. And it works. I was and still am at 2.2 gigs used since I installed it and my son has been playing Forza Horizons thru XBox live on his 360. And the T-Mobile account app does not register any extra data used on the WiFi tether section. The Xbox even updated and the game did an update also.

Just triend an lg cam hack that worked beautifully but it must be outdated cuz it doesn't have uhd recording but man the pictures and videos it was taking make me wonder if it's not worth losing the fancy 4k shooting right now??

Installed perfectly pushing apks to system but that one feature was gone, I took pics in a room lit only by a tv and the hacked cam was actually visible, smooth, no stutter or blur. While the uhd kept trying to focus and if you read the mods op statement he upped all the fps and etcetera so that makes since. Hell I'm thinking bout going back to it now haha
so all you did was extract the camera.apk and put it in system, and change perms?
have you rebooted since, to make sure it still works?
That camera mod has a working ISO setting for the flex??

This part confuses me a little:
If you do not have a custom recovery on your device,
Extract the downloaded ZIP and copy the APK to phone.
Open Root Browser and go to system/app.
Find CameraApp.apk and CameraApp.odex and add a .bak extension to both of them.
Now copy the new CameraApp.apk to system/app folder. -
Here do we remove the .bak from the files we just copied over or leave it as is?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press and hold CameraApp.apk and select Permissions from the list of options.
Now set the permission to rw-r–r– (0644). For more details, read this guide.
Then reboot the phone.
When your LG boots up, you would be able to use the modded camera app on your phone.
leave them as is, in case you need to restore them if the replacement files arent working properly for you
the new files will have the extensions .apk, and .odex when you copy them over

I didn't have any issue just didn't stick with my laptop. carriers and manufactories have gotten smart. especially due to the amount of people that are modding their phones these days. just changing the "tether dun" or "tether provisioning". Now we have to deal with upsell URLs. That's when on their end they notice URLs coming thru our data that are not the same format/ signature that mobile devices use. and therefore our WiFi data usage may still increase. well there's a way around that too. It doesn't stick through boot either. But it will mask said URLs and prevent " up sell". From your phones dailpad dial 3845#*???# put in the 3 numbers of your variant. like mine is a d959 so I dial 3845#*959# once in the hidden service menu click settings then scroll down to "upsell URL" click it and select the option "TMUS hastetheringOPTIIN". AND DONT FORGET THE OTHER HACK CHANGing the 1 to a zero on the tethering in sqlite editor .

My Note 3 random reboots

It started yesterday. The biggest changes I can think of are
1. adding Gear Manager and connecting Gear 2 Neo to it which happened one week ago. No issues till now
2. putting in and taking out a microSD card. Shortly after this action, the random reboots started. I don't think I messed up the related hardware. I did it carefully, not forcing anything. I even shut down the device and popping the battery before inserting and removing the microSD.
I'm scratching my head what could have triggered the random reboots. I have shut down Bluetooth to trouble-shoot what is causing the random reboots. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks
What firmware are you on? Are you rooted? Have you tried another sd card? Maybe try a factory reset

My Note 3 isn't rooted. It's running stock KitKat. It doesn't have a microSD. I put one in to copy files and took it out right away. I don't know if it was a coincident. The reboots started shortly after I put in and took out the microSD. I think it's more a coincident because I was super careful with the microSD slot.
I just did a reset. I'll observe if reboots happen again.
I know it sounds crazy but try going into Settings>Wifi>Advanced and unchecking "Always Allow Scanning". Once I used a SD in it and have that checked my phone randomly reboots no matter what ROM or MODs I use and I have met other people on here that have had the same issue and unchecking that setting fixed it. Something about the way some SD cards work and that setting not playing nice with each other. Hope this helps you, I know it nearly drove me mad until someone suggested I try unchecking it.
I did a reset and restored my all apps backed up by Helium. I got random reboots still. But may be because I also restored Gear Manager and its associated plugins and apps, I was still getting random reboots. I have reset again and restored all my apps without the Gear Manager etc. So far it's been 20 hours, no random reboots. I'll observe some more. I just have the feeling Gear Manager etc have something to do with the reboots.
@zacharyt86: I'll remember your tip too. Thanks
My N3 used to do that a lot so i rooted the phone and now i have no issues. I did have issues with some roms and when i was using a rom slot on ss but no issues on the stock slot.
Im on JB though but my note had the same issue. I think its a memory issue... I was also using a cache cleaner then that i just havent used since i changed roms
Ya think it just could be one if those weird things I see others having issues that I'm not having if it keeps doing it I would call Samsung or take it back to att

It's been 60+ hours. No reboots. I'm inclining to conclude it's Gear Manager and its associated plugins and apps that caused the reboots. I'll install Gear Manager again, not install any Gear app, just connect phone calling and default notifications, i.e.all default stuff. Will report back.

Low Power Mode off/on, change of themes makes things CRAZY

Hello everyone,
I have been having this problem for a few weeks now, and it has gotten to the point where I think something is SERIOUSLY wrong with my phone.
I have a 512gb UNLOCKED N960U1. Never rooted. I'm a little OCD with my app arrangement so i have every app on my phone in folders so i dont have to get a finger hernia scrolling through everything.
My problem is that I use low-power mode often. I also like to turn in on while driving, and charge my phone in the car that way. Lately when coming OUT of low-power mode, I've found that my apps have DUPLICATED. Every. Single. One. Doesn't matter if the phone is charging, or not. They duplicate, BOTH APPS OPEN, and I have to uninstall the second ones with no data loss to the original(?) one.
I also like to change my themes weekly. Thats what originally started the problems. Recently, after switching a theme out again, I found that the phone had emptied out my folders into a giant CF in my app drawer. Thinking "at least its not old school Samsung LAG", I just put them BACK. No biggie.
NO GO. I did that THREE SEPARATE TIMES. I have 425+ apps on my phone. Sometimes SOME of the apps will be removed from the folders, sometimes ALL of the apps.
The breaking point for me was when I took it off of low-power mode as I was leaving the car, and the apps spread back out, and SOME WEREN'T EVEN SHOWING. Furious, I knew I was going to use my tapatalk app to get onto XDA to ask for help or guidance. Tapatalk Pro is on my phone, but WAS NOT SHOWING IN THE APP DRAWER. So i searched for it instead. It came up in the SEARCH, but not alphabetically where it SHOULD be. Now when you find an app by searching, if the app comes up, you can long press it and it will give you the option to "locate" where the app is store on your phone (folder, which screen, etc.) When that was done, the phone froze briefly, and then did nothing.
Im at my wit's end on this issue. The most horrible part is that I can't find ANYONE who is having this issue other than me. Phone has not been dropped, no cracks, nothing.
What the hell is wrong with my phone??
This is the most horrific problem I've ever read on XDA is all my time here. Sorry that I don't have a solution to your problem, but just reading through your post is terrifying.

I think a logcat and developer tools may help. Have you tried Samsung service since you can easily replicate the problem in front of them?

Are you using 3rd party launcher? If you don't use low power mode does it still happen. What are using to change themes?

No third party launcher. I use the standard, built in theme options when I switch themes, and the themes are downloaded from the Samsung theme app/store/part.

I would just backup the device and factory reset.

Yes that's the last thing I would do. I couldn't live without knowing the reason. [emoji6]

Unfortunately thats exactly what I did. I started putting my apps in folders as everything was downloading. I also began to get rid of apps because I figured that definitely didn't help.
By the time the phone finished downloading all my backup'd apps, the two apps I deleted were BACK, and the apps came out of the folders I had just put in. Back to the same situation. :silly::crying:

Since what you're experiencing is most likely a software issue, you may want to factory reset and try not restoring any of your backed up apps, just manually install the basic ones and see how it behaves for a few hours.

Just random apps. No category to put them in

How are you still sane from this? I'm sorry I can't provide a solution.
Call Samsung stars. Personally I would factory reset and install apps one by one.

For 435 apps?
I'm reviving this thread because the problem continued on the the Note 10.
...then the Note 20U...
Now I'm too scared to try it on my Z Fold 3.
This is a SOFTWARE issue...not a specific phone or app issue.
