Has anyone figured out the reboot problems?

I thought that by rooting and putting a new ROM on my phone that it'd help out my problems of it rebooting randomly and having a non responsive internet 50% of the time but it hasn't. Anyone else having these problems with their Thrills? About to go back to the iPhone even though i really don't want to

I have occasional reboots, but not often. I know mine is more tinkering with my kernel.

i only had mine reboot once only cuz i killed gta3 the rong way and it crashed

yeah mine does it any time that it has to think about something... i go to post something on facebook and about half the time it freezes and then reboots. I think i've pulled the battery out a couple dozen times this last week because of it just stopping on me

There's a wrong way close apps/games? Not on the iPhone. Get with the times Google.

There is no wrong way to close an App/Game.
It's the developer of the app that causes the problem.

ok now i'm finally getting it to where it's saying different apps (mostly clockworkmod) are failing and to either force close or cancel...

Well I jumped out of gta3 with the home button and tryed to go in app manager to close it and probly ran out of ram and crashed instead of backing out of gta3 with the game menu

I just wish Android OS suspended everything when you push the home button and had push notifications instead of persistent checking. All this background running is killing our batteries and causing lockups.

Ya I know I wounding if you could put it in a rom or kernal

True multitasking has been built into Android (similar to Linux, which it is based) from day one. Here to say it, but that would be a longshot. Best bet would be to become more scrupulous on what apps you download and more critical of the makers when their programs go rogue. Plus turning background data off in settings can help. Fyi.
Note: I don't want you to feel as if I'm being overly critical or a douche here, just realistic with what we have and what we are dealing with.

how do you turn off background data and what does it do? Also can i dump clockworkmod recovery since it's one of the ones that keeps popping up saying it's froze? i've got the Doomed ROM on it now

I hear ya, I know its wishful thinking. I just wish android was as efficient as iOS. Android having Backgrounding from the start was a big perk, but I gotta hand to apple for seeing how inefficient it was and hold off until they found a better solution. Android needs to grab the bull by the horns and convert to that solution.

Menu>accounts and sync>Background Data
Background data allows you to receive emails and your apps to update periodically while your not using your phone. This is the basis of 99% of your notifications. It's kinda the point of having a smart phone in the first place.

oh ok... yeah i really like getting all my updates so i don't wanna do that

Well I've got an issue where the phone shuts off while not in use and I have to pull the battery to restart. Are there any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Its random so I have no clue what's causing it.

[Q] How to let the gear stay on current app?

I've been playing with my Gear for a while. The biggest problem to me is, When I go for a run using runtastic or other app, when the screen times out and turns off, and I ust motion sensor to turn it back on, it goes to the clock but not the app I'm using. There seems no way to keep the app on the front after screen off? Please help as it's really annoying and I can't believe Samsung fail to design this.
Appreciate it.

Same here... I'm really hoping Samsung just rushed the watch, and this isn't what they would consider a 100% finished product. Hopefully they're writing updates as we speak to fix a few of the issues. I can do more on my old original Sony SmartWatch than I can on a new more expensive device. Only thing the Gear does better is you can make calls on it.

Quick-ish workaround is to tap and hold 2 fingers on the screen to bring up the recent apps list.

Overall I love the device, but it's definitely rough around the edges. To me this issue one of the more disappointing things about the watch so far. If I am using Media Controller to listen to music, it's really annoying not to have it there when I want to go back to use it, and that goes for just about any other app I'd like to use. For Samsung all it really would have taken was a simple check box somewhere that says something like "default to watch face upon wake," and if that was unchecked, whatever you were doing last would just stay there on the watch the next time you looked at it.
Really the point of having a watch like this is to make it easy for you to do whatever you want to do. My guess is that most people who buy a $300 accessory to their phone like this are doing it hoping to smoothly interact with good apps. So every time you start to want to enjoy an app, you are consistently reminded that this watch wants to be a watch more than it wants to help you do whatever you're doing with it. In my mind, constantly defaulting back to the watchface everytime it goes to sleep and wakes up is a huge bug, not the feature Samsung probably thought it would be.
Anyway, I've used the recent apps two fingers shortcut a fair amount, but I have found it was just best to switch to the watch face that has the shortcuts on it. (In the Galaxy gear manager clock choice menu, it's called "Shortcut Clock," right above the Watchstyler)
Ideally I would rather use a custom watch face without the shortcuts. But for now, choosing 3 shortcuts for my most commonly used apps at least makes it easier to get back to what I was doing, and it's one less step then the two finger recent app workaround.

This is possible when using GM Gesture, create a gesture for a "home" action and replace the hardware key bind to a power only.
The hardware key serves two purposes, a home button & power button. I simply have removed the home button functionality and made a gesture for it.
I leave applications up all the time, especially timer functions.

The Galaxy Note 3. I upgraded from the Note 2, and bought the watch at the same time. Yesterday was my last day to return the watch and I was very close to returning it, but decided to hope for updates soon. I loved the Note 2, and now the Note 3. It shows me Samsung can build a great mobile product, so I hope the watch becomes more useful in the future.

That's actually a good idea that I hadn't thought of, thanks for posting that.
I will swap to that shortcut face before I go out jogging and then back to the weather clock face when I'm done.

Get rid of custom lock pad on reboot

This is what I use to get rid of the custom lock pad sign from the bootloader when you reboot. Some people got it after they rooted and disabled some apps like me. It's in wanam xposed. Below is a pic to show where it is. It works very well. It takes a couple reboots after you enable it for it to take effect. But after that I have not seen it come back at all. Just wanted to share my findings with others. Hopefully it helps others who may have been looking for the same solution.

It's good to know, but a flash of the SM-G900A firmware from here on XDA, minus the BL bootloader file, gets rid of that anyway. It's not that big of a deal whether it's there or not, unless you're taking the phone in for warranty service.

No one said it was a big deal or not. It's sharing of information that is what xda is all about. And since there is no other post in our forum about it, this is why I shared. Has nothing to do with what way is better or being a big deal.

It's always the same thing every time a new Samsung phone comes out. Maybe I can save some people some time and tell you each phone can and will show the custom lock icon at different times no matter what you do. In other words, if you do something that stops it from showing on your phone, there is absolutely NO guarantee that the same method will stop it from showing on someone else's phone. The scan that selects if the custom status or unlock icon is shown or not occurs on each individual phone at the time of boot. Therefore, depending on the current state of each phone, it might show or not show. The only real way to stop it from showing is through a mod (located in the AT&T S4 section) that actually modifies system files. X-posed modules just cover the icon, so the appearance is just graphical. It works for most (though it isn't truly changing anything), but for some it still doesn't. AGAIN. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING WORKS ON YOUR PHONE,DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL WORK ON OTHERS...it just might.

This forum isn't just about you. Posts like yours FAIL to mention that it might not work for everyone trying it so people that it doesn't work for are left wondering what they did wrong. When in fact, they have done nothing wrong. Mentioning what works for you is great, but stop getting so offensive when someone adds more information or states that your solution might not work for everyone. You should be welcoming the addition of useful information instead of acting like "nothing was brought to YOUR thread" because you didn't know about it or mention it. A little research about X-posed and SysScope should be done by anyone wanting to permanently get rid of the custom lock icon.
Not only did I mention that X-posed might not work for some, but I also mentioned a permanent modification to get rid of the custom icon instead of just covering it up with X-posed modules. Now how exactly did my paragraph have nothing to do with this topic?

Android wear for galaxy gear 2 and neo

Just thought id share this with you guys .Im currently running on my neo its alittle buggie at first but its my daily nowhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2/development/please-help-kernel-compiling-android-t2992953

Oh hey, so they finally went somewhere with that project! I used to keep track of the many developers who have tried over the years, good to see that someone was finally able to pull it off.
How do you like it so far?
Is it worth the transition and side effects?

The side effects are not that bad you have to force a weather card to keep the open gl driver running so that the faces work

That's not to bad, but what about the no mic thing? Since android wear is big on "Ok Google" has that caused any limitations??
I scanned through the thread and so far it looks amazing!! That's my only concern, I really want to try this, but I have custom roms on my other samsung devices that made the IR blaster useless as well lol and I currently don't own a remote for my room.

does anyone have a link or some direction on the where to get the windows drivers for this. i have flashed stuff and used odin for years and i cant get windows to read this in download mode no matter what. i tried tizen and android sdk, installed samsung phone drivers, installed and uninstalled kies. im at a loss. im am using vm on mac but never had an issue with any samsung products. might be a tizen thing.

So, does this mean I can have full use of my neo without the need for a TW rom? I detest TouchWiz

The answer is yes!

Can this be used on other devices as well? I'm going to be moving from a note 3 to a moto x at upgrade and would like to be able to use the neo 2 with it.

Any luck with your Tasker solution? What approaches did you try? I'm simply trying to emulate the swipe, but I can't figure out how to do up/down in a single shell command...it's doing two separate swipes. And I can't confirm they would work with the display off.

Sorry, no luck. I did get a hold of the file but wasn't able to find anything useful and I've since switched to the note 5 so I haven't played with the edge in a while.
I tried simulated swipes but they won't work with the screen off which is exactly what we need. I was going to have Tasker use an intent to fire up the service/screen but I didn't see anything in the apk that would help. I'm no expert by any means though so there's a 95% chance I just didn't see something right in front of my nose.
