So I have no access to WiFi unless it comes from this damn phone.
I don't know what this notification is all about but it's irritating the living hell out of me and it won't go away.
I have no WiFi network available to connect to and besides I have unlimited data and I don't want ANYTHING requiring WiFi
How the hell do I fix this before I lose my freakin mind?
Long press on the notification and select app info to see which app is requesting a dictionary update.
Some apps like the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store have settings that will not update apps above a certain size unless you are on WiFi. Disable that setting or set it to a higher limit.
If you find out what app is causing it, look in that apps settings for a similar wifi limit.
My Droid Turbo is doing the same thing the app info points to download manager....system application! UGH!!!
Same here, I even connected my Turbo to my work's WiFi and updated it and still I am getting this notification.

Maybe a fix for y'all
Try going into settings, language and input, click on the 3 bars to right of goggle keyboard. Select text correction. Then select add on dictionaries. I had to click on each language till i found ones i don't use and deleted. Also found one with blue bar trying to update. I was able to click on it then selected cancel. . I clicked on it second time and selected delete. So far has worked for me been about 14 hours since did that.
I also had this happen today. When I got home it downloaded and too about 2 seconds.

This did not work for me although it did lead me to the discovery of several dictionaries I have no intention of using that showed 'installed'. I was able to "delete" those dictionaries but they still show on the list as "available." Right now the only dictionary showing 'installed' is "English" but I see no indication that it's attempting to update, i.e. there is no progress bar or visual difference between it and the others on the list.
Disabling notifications for Download Manager obviously does get rid of the notification area icon but is an imperfect solution as, usually, I do want notifications from Download Manager. Anyone come up with something else that's working?
doesn't work

Unfortunately, it is a coincidence that it works for Google keyboard. The problem still exists for my phone and I don't use the Google keyboard only the Samsung one.
Go to Language and Input then Voice Search.
Click Offline Speech Recognition, then Auto-Update.
Change it to Auto-update languages at any time, instead of Wi-Fi
Then go to Text-to-speech output,
Click the Settings icon (looks like volume sliders)
Click Settings for Google Text-to-speech Engine
Turn off Use Wi-Fi only

Hi,
I am trying to set the Phonebook app as my default contacts manager but of course it does not offer that option.
Anyone know whether it is even possible yet or if there is another app that can replace the stock contact manager.
Im really just looking for an easier way of scrolling through my contacts
For example iContact burt edition for windows mobile
i wish i could just find phonebook, its no longer in the market. im assuming it was removed so they could start charging for it.

it's not listed with the featured apps on mine and checking with others on the #android chan, they dont have it either.
Thats odd, I am looking at it right now maybe its because I already have it installed on my phone or because google has damned me for the time being and hasnt allowed me to see paid apps!
the featured apps right now are
Wertago, wikitude, personal safety, imap, klondike, blackjack, brain genius, pro football live, ebay, picsay, shopsavy, telegraph, bluebrush, bonsai blast, myspace.
pm me the apk of it if you would!
I would love to have the phonebook apk back, if anyone could pm me as well.
Here's phonebook app.
Here you go, just rename it back to .apk and install.

dude, you FREAKIN rock !
thank you!
So it cant actually be set as default? maybe in future updates
I think it can not be set as default at this moment. I have searched for this answer a lot, but found nothing.
jus delete your orginal phonebook, back it up first, thats what i did
Where do you find the downloaded apk from the market?
I can't compare to Phonebook, because it's been so long since I've used that app. Acontacts (totally free) is the most full featured contact app on the market IMO, and allows you to set as default when you press the call button. Good call log which can be set default and very responsive dev, as well.
Another one I've recently tried is Easy Dial Pro (ya I know Pro usually means $, but it's free, also). I heard about it in a thread here. Not quite used to it yet, but it seems really good when I played around with it. The call log may be better than aContacts. Again, you can set Easy Dial and Easy Call Log as defaults.
Hope this helped.
When you press the call button it will come up with "Launch using Dialler/Phonebook" tick the "Always use this program for this function" tickbox and select Phonebook.
If that doesn't come up then you have the dialler set as default go into applications > manage applications and then click on dialler, press the clear defaults button.

Anytime you install a new application that can be set as default, you are always prompted for which option you would like until you default it in the checkbox. Last time I tried to clear stock dialer default (user error), there was no option (donut drc63) so I had to un/reinstall my dialer app to get the list back.
I love this widget, best news widgets I've used. I love how it scrolls through all the top news stories, the problem is the scrolling doesn't continue if the phone goes to sleep. I dont know if its normal or not. Anyone here using this widget and having the same issue? After I re-add the widget to the homescreen or if I restart Launcher Pro it scrolls beautifully, then the phone goes to sleep and just stays on one news story after I wake it up.
I didn't know that the widget allowed you to scroll.

The auto scrolling of the news topic, not physical scrolling. Sorry for the confusion.
Bump, anyone?
Probably your WiFi disconnects, when your phone goes to sleep..then no more news can be loaded.

Ive tried on wifi and on 3g and still the same.
Exact same problem here (but on EVO), totally unable to resolve it. Please post if anyone finds a solution.
Same problem on my galaxy s. The news stop rolling after the screen is turned off... I use the transparent one. Pls if anyone can find a solution pls post it cause i love this widget...
hi,
any idea if it s possible to get the apk of this widget for install it on another device?
Yes it is, i'm not allowed to post link although the .apk has been posted in the XDA forums. Just google geniewidget.apk and you'll find it.
I use it on my galaxy s, with the aforementioned problems.
hi,
i just found it and installed it
works like a charm, except, because the default language (and only available) of my device is english, i can t get french news like i use to have on nexus.
any idea if i can force it somewhere?
thxx for your help
Maybe if you give a french key word on the custom topic tab, it will search for french news.give it a try.
Too bad about the scrolling. Let the dev know.
For weather I use Snowstorm. Shows the weather wherever I am for the next 24 hours in 6 hour icons. Perfect, although must be installed internally or the widget is lost by Android.
well, when i use a french word as keyword, it search it in english news website....

I've already tried this but no result. But today i found what's the cause of the problem.I have flyscreen installed and i use it as an locksreen replacement. So whenever the screen unlocks without passing through sgs's default locksreen it stucks! Strange thing but true! When i deactivate the option to replace lockscreen everything works like a charm.
I am unable to get the 'my location' status section of the weather widget to actually name my location e.g. Wembley / Westminster / Boston ... Reflecting wherever I am.
I am sure that previous weather apps were able to do this. It would automatically update according to one's location. In settings, all the location options have been selected inc. GPS. The only way I can get a place name to display right now, is if I manually select a city. :-\
I am sûre that i have overlooked something very simple to allow this function to work. Any ideas would be great. Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion. Only issue is, the weather app is integrated into blinkfeed, so it cannot be temporarily removed or deleted. Not sure how to get this to work...
EDIT - After de-selecting and selecting location services, went for a reboot of system. Then, prompt box came up on screen, asking whether I agreed or disagreed for Google to collect anonymous location information. I selected Agree and now location is displayed! Solved

The actual cause is in settings, power, fast boot. Turn this off and reboot. Make sure you have location services on as well.

Ah...you're onto something right there. First time I used my phone, I had this unchecked and everything was working just fine.
Then I did check this after a reset...and it wasnt working anymore. So I will make sure it's unchecked.

Thx! The described method also helps if the phone has trouble to find a location indoor without GPS. I couldnt use Google Maps at home cause it would never find a GPS connection.
Now it just uses the WLAN and mobile connection to get the location. Great!
Is there supposed to be a keyboard with this update? I see the apps in the watch there is no keyboard tho and it says none loaded after the version .
Thanks
Try Google keep for example, you have a micro or keyboard
You may need to select it in the settings.
The default one is a bit small to be that useful, I'm using Touchone Keyboard as a replacement and it's a lot easier.

Can try opening from Google play on computer or watch, for some reason opening on mobile says it's incompatible
I installed that KB but I can't seem to get it to work. I enabled it, what am I missing here??
~John
took me a bit to work it out first time as well.
After it's installed, on the watch go to:
- Settings
- Personalisation
- Input methods
If it's not already showing at this point click on 'manage keyboards'
- Select TouchOne
You can disable the other keyboard if you want, should work now when you get a msg.
Tip, to send the msg when your on the keyboard hit the green tick symbol at the top, I didn't notice this the first time and was wondering why I couldn't send any messages.
Not sure if this is a bug with AW2.0 or the keyboard but sometimes when I go into the WA messages there is no reply function, generally i just let it close and then open it again in a few minutes.
Keyboard take a bit of getting use to but still much easier than the default one
Hope that helps.

Google Messages v--4.1.067 (Ettin_RC12_xxhdpi.arm64-v8a.phone) on Galaxy S10
When I open a chat with a person and tap on the "write a message" text box, instead of the text box coming up simply, the text box comes up AND it gives me the option tray of copy, paste, web search, etc. This is the thing you usually get if you double tap or press and hold. I'm getting it with a single tap and it's kinda annoying. Can anyone reproduce this? Any idea for a fix?
I have the same issue, pops up on both the stock messaging app AND google messages.
This is an issue with the March Security update or at least I hope it's an issue and not something new. I've made a post about it in the S10+ forum but haven't seen many responses to it. For me it happened every time I touched in a text field to bring up the keyboard. I know 2 other people that have the same issue after updating as well. I've rolled back to the February patch for now as it was pretty annoying for me.

Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one experiencing this. It is quite annoying.
So I've been digging into this a little and it appears to be a bug with Samsung's Clipboard History service. I can't figure out how to disable it. I tried disabling a few things using ADB with no luck. If you go into your clipboard history and "Delete All" it will no longer be an issue. I don't know if anyone knows how, but if there's a non-root method to remove Samsung's clipboard service it'll 'fix' the issue for now.

Yeah, I discovered this shortly after my post. I wasn't using the autofill service at first. But if you get rid of your password autofill service it'll go away lol. General Management > Language and Input > Autofill Service and set it to "None". This is a work around, but Dashlane people don't have to use the autofill service.
Its a sh itty work around but whatever. I can't figure it out. I hope it's fixed in April update.

Does this happen any where else besides the message app? I was having this issue in any text field that required me to tap in it to bring up the keyboard. I tried both Gboatd and Samsung keyboards and they both did the same. Can't remember if I tried the stock message app or not. I've rolled back to the Feb patch and will keep ignoring the update until it's fixed.

No I don't use Gboard. I just realized my phone sort of does this but I never knew it. The first thing I do when I get a phone is remove the Samsung dialer, messages, etc, and install Google Dialer and messenges. Up till I played around with it upon reading your post I never touched the message area before starting to type, I've never had to. For the heck of it this morning, I touched that area and the paste clipboard pop-up appeared. Like I said, I never see that because I just start typing and never saw it that way.
This has been from the first time I used the phone on the original software.
