[Q] some issues with my new note

got my brand new note yesterday, got a couple of issues though if anyone has any ideas.
the memo app doesn't seem to work, i get this error
the application s.memo (process com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo) has stopped unexpectedly.
the screen does not rotate into landscape when on the homepage, only when opening an app, and then not all apps. Very annoying.
When using my bluetooth headset, I can only make calls or use voice commands if I am logged into the phone. One the screen has timed out and turned off, I can no longer do anything, which rather defeats the point in a headset and voice control if I have to get the phone out and login anyway.
I installed the firmware update when prompted, but this did not change anything.
thanks

Well the rotate is because its down to the apps to have a rotated layout and some prevent it from happening including the home launcher however you could try a third party launcher which will allow this

I've seen a lot of people having troubles with their Note after they've bought it, such as FC's, slowdowns etc, as did I.
The easiest thing you can do is perform a Factory Reset (Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset) which will reset the firmware to it's original state, but won't delete any data on the SD card. Just make sure you export the contacts to SD card before doing this. That fixed the slowdown problem for me, as well as some FC's in apps.
As for the rotation thing, the TouchWiz does not rotate on landscape, and some apps just ain't programmed to work in that mode. You could download some other launchers from Google Play, like the poster above me said.

[Q] Problem with Whatsapp

Hi, I don't know where to post this thread xD... so here it is:
I've been using PrimeHD9+nAa13 and it's cool, but today I noticed I was connected to my wifi, internet working, but whatsapp doesn't...
It doesn't display any info under the name of the person, and the messages are not even delivered to the server, they have the little clock.
I tried restarting the modem, forgetting the network on my X8, uninstalling and reinstalling whatsapp and nothing seems to work...
what can I do? some people said they had the same problem and formatted their phones to get it to work :C

Try to delete /data/data folder in phone
Make backup

With root explorer (or other root file manager) go to data/data/and delete the com.whatsup file
Uninstall the app
Reboot to cwmrecovery/advance/wipe dalvik cache/wipe/back to main menu/reboot and install again the whatsup

there is a problem in whatsapp server the problem is not from your phone
i have the same problem here and many android users have the problem

No problem here. maybe only few hours ago. you can check their services by navigating to Setting>Help>System Status.
I don't face any whatsapp problem last night.

Now its working correctly... I installed a new ROM but it didn't work at that time, now it works and I think it was a problem of their servers xd.
thanks for the answers.

[Q] Xperia Z voice record issue

Hi, anyone with a Somy Xperia Z have an issue with the voice recorder?
I can't film videos with the camera cause it gets an error. I can't use TrackID or Shazam, it continually asked to listen again, I can't carry out speech to text on messaging or on google now app! Anything voice related for any app is not working. Help needed!
I've reinstalled the phone from scratch with PC companion and repaired it but its happened again. Could it be an app using the recorder/microphone and its stopping everything else?

Me too
I have experienced this kind of problem while trying to use Google now's voice search, it works the first time, but if I switch to another app and try again it gets an error.
Voice recorder stops working, too
I noticed that if I kill Google now app, the microphone starts working again

Having the exact same problem. I've turned off Google Now but I still cannot use recorder or microphone-based apps.
Very frustrating.
Can anyone help? Please?

I am having this exact same issue, I think the common denominator is Google Now ...which process do you kill? I tried stopping 'Google Search' but that didn't resolve it. Always requires a reboot.
Does anyone know if this is limited only to Xperia Z phones? I imagine it would be more widespread if not.

deinstall the last google search update
Hi.
It seems to be a problem of the last update from Google Search (Google now).
I just deinstalled the last update from Google Search apk and everything works like before.
I hope they fix it with the next update of Google Search.

feel bad

Some people are just idiots, if you can't or won't help there is no need say anything to show us your ignorance, just ZIPPED!!
Well, to the point
I almost went crazy with this problem, and happens in two differents phones, Ion and A.
suddenly inexplicably the mic for voice record and video record stop working right?
with lots of patience, root and eight complete backups I have found the guilty (at least for me),
Was not google, sony or the firmware.
Its a small and useful app called.....................MAGICJACK, as soon as its installed and their services started, the mic problem came out, my solution was disable, freeze or uninstall this app and the mic work again.
Maybe some of you guys have the same app or another for internet calls like this, try and let me know if helps

video call and record voice problem fix
Yep you right, just uninstall the magicjack app and you will be fine, but anyone can tell other similars like magicjack

Yeap!
4.2.2 firmware fix this issue, so when you update you can use these kind apps again
If you still running 4.1.2 and you can root your Xperia™ then dont uninstall the app just freeze it all the time except when you need it

HBO app crashing after login

Anyone with HBO (nordic) got their app working? I wrote them and they replied the following (translated with google):
Unfortunately, I can tell that Huawie phones do not support our app, so we can not guarantee it will work.
I have tried both resolutions, with and without the notch, both normal and forced full screen, but can't get it to work!
Hope someone can help

Hello ,
I got my subscription for HBO GO trough Telekom Romania. And for me at least it works without any special actions taken by me. Resolution set to full , the app didn't ask me for full screen view.
Hope it helps .

Maybe it's just the HBO Nordic app. Guess I'll write Huawei hoping for them to fix it. Thanks for your feedback.

You're welcome. Hope they fix it.

Got the same Phone and the same problem with the same app (Just HBO Nordic, everything else works like a charm). I've tried to reset app, uninstall/reinstall, factory reset etc, etc... Nothing works. Please keep me updated!

Try turning the Notch off and set it to standard Full Screen.. then try it...
Like the iPhone X, the Notch creates an irregular screen ratio... This happens on Netflix too...

Great suggestion, but unfortunately this didn't work for me. Tried to clear cache and data, but still no luck. Even tried reinstalling, but same result.

I am be able to use the HBO app (from Google Play market) until today... Now closed when log...
Rgs.

Try deleting Google play service cache or memory.

Unfortunately this didn't work as well.

Possible solution
Hi. Just solved this on my Huawei P20 pro with some help from Huawei's support. You have to erase not only Google play services cache but also all its data.
Go to:
1. Settings
2. Apps and notifications
3. Apps
4. Find and choose ”Google play services"
5. Click on ”Storage”
6. Click on "manage space"
7. Click on ”clear all data"
Done!
You might have to redo this everytime you restart your phone. Huawei told me that they are working on the issue as I write this.

@paunchygent thanks. I had done this for something else, Fitbit, and noticed by mistake that it seemed that HBO was working again. Seems that the P20 have a problem with the "Google play services".

Thanks! Now I got HBO working! My weekend is saved

I had the same problem with DR TV app (the Danish equivalent to BBC) as well as the HBO Nordic app. I guess it's related to the Chromecast-feature(?). Both solved by clearing Google Play Services-data. Thanks

Google assistant in all cn rom issues, help needed

Hi guys,
I'm getting a problem related to the chinese variant. And it's really irritating, i hope you can help as this is really popular and discussed a lot.
-Google assistant won't stay the default assist app.
-Access with voice match is greyed out.
-when i make google the default assist app, google is greyed out as seen in the third screenshot.
-weirdly enough i don't have default assist app anywhere in settings, I can only access it from google (first screeshot)
I already have disabled breeno stuff and some chinese stuff except breeno space.
I tried some solutions online from deleting cache to re-installing google, but the issue is rom related.
What i haven't tried is unlocking bootloader and rooting then making the assistant a system app. So what I'm trying to say is did anyone have it working like a charm, and how??

Unfortunately that's what the rom does. The only way I had made it to work is using tasker..
My first approach was for event when the secure config was changed tasker will change it back to Google. But this doesn't seem to work all the time.
My second approach was to create a shortcut that set the assistant and then launches the app. See screenshot.

Man this is irritating, using tasker for an assistant ?? this reminds me of an old tcl tv I have running android 4.4 and no matter what I do i can't get apps to function correctly on there

I tried making it a system app. Didnt work. still greyed out. I used android terminal App systemizer
It moved the whole folder to system/apps. I also tried system/priv-apps. But its weird that i can still uninstall google from the app drawer.

This is absolute bs, i thought root will make it work but now i don't even know why the cn rom is behaving like this.
I really hope someone got it working
