SpO2 measurement - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

the SpO2 measurement disappeared from.my phone and the s health app says that my phone can't measure it.
how do you think this can be fixed ?
thanks in advance .

I'm also trying to find a way to fix this.
It looks like Samsung was forced to remove some features in one of the S Health updates for legal purposes in some regions. Remember the whole issue about Samsung not intending for their phones to be medical devices which I think requires additional FDA regulations, or something.
There was a way using Xposed mods, there is a module called Global S Health which can apparently remove the regional restriction.
The problem I'm having now is that currently, the Xposed framework does not work on stock Samsung ROMS, I might end up changing my ROM, if you aren't using a ROM based on a Samsung ROM, this solution could work for you.

Xposed does work on stock Marshmallow roms. Are you still running Marshmallow?

Yes, I'm on 6.01
This is where I read that it wouldn't work on Samsung Lolipop & Marshmallow

I'm using the last version and everything is ok.
Maybe you should try to wipe data of the app.

please look at my screenshot ...
Works fine here!
Works fine, maybe your sensor has broken?
Did you freeze or delete any bloatware?
My phone isn't rootable (well, it is, but it resets after reboot. Thanks a lot ATT), but I can disable apps. I had something similar to the screenshots when I disabled something, but can't remember what it was. It was something that ended up controlling the heartbeat sensor though.
So if you debloated, you need to defrost things one by one until the Measure button comes back. If you deleted, then you can only reflash your firmware.
This is the only help I can provide since no one else is having your issue and you didn't tell us what you've done to your phone.

the problem happened after a updated my shealth today !!
my sensor is ok and im using official n910H ( latest version) ROM . why after i cleared shealth data and restart , spo2 and stress feature has gone ! samsung locked some feature on some model . shi**** why doing this !! samsung sucks with this kind of updates...
Happened to me before, then I realize it's the CSC's fault. Some CSC disable's some S-Health features (THL for example) so you might need to change your CSC into something else.

How is this samsung's fault exactly? The official version for Sweden is the n910F, not n910H, so you have basically bought an unsupported phone and are crying because samsung limits some features in some firmwares for certain versions in certain regions.
when i buy a phone , i just need support
what is the difference between people ???? why should some of them have some feature and some of them not when they all bought same phone ? Im sorry for you ...
anyway , i had to use xposed module and Global shealth intead

Probably because of laws that prohibit Samsung from giving users inaccurate information (risk of being sued). Don't get it either, but as someone else already said just flash the correct csc for your region and you should be fine (no ota updates though).
If you have xposed framework there is a module called globalshealth, that will get them back, dt some messed up laws, in some regions samsung has disabled the HR sensor since they are not marketed as medical devices and should have an FDA approval to measure vital signs (as i said,some fu**ed up laws)

Xposed GravityBox - BUG?

Hello everybody, I am Brazilian and I had a very strange problem on my phone after installing GravityBox module. Well, GravityBox is not working until I install Framework for recovery, after that, I managed to open it, but unexpected things occurred in my smarphone. Once opened, the notification bar Transparante was a very strange way and my phone stopped recognize yourself the network ad-hoc wifi I created in my windows.
I believe the bug occurs because of my rom, as I use a galaxy, it came with a TouchWiz.
If they can give me more information, I will be grateful!
Note: Ignore my English, I know it's horrible.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Gran Prime Duos, SM-G530BT model, we can suggest me one custom rom, I'll be even more grateful!
Please, if this is the wrong area to the topic, excuse me.
You must install Xposed before installing any modules like GravityBox. I don't know what will happen if you do it backwards, but it could be bad.
Also, in order to use Xposed at all on that device, you must have a deodexed ROM and use one of the unofficial versions of Xposed.
What ROM do you have (including version number)? What exact Xposed files did you install, what recovery did you use, and how did you do it? Were there any error messages during installation? Are there any error messages in the Xposed log? What version of GravityBox did you install?
Have you tried uninstalling GravityBox, and reinstalling it correctly through Xposed?
Last I heard Samsung and touchwiz needs a special version.
From the Gravity Box thread:
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
- DO NOT USE WITH CUSTOM ROMS LIKE CM,AOSPA,ROOTBOX,AOKP,SLIM, ETC... IT MAKES NO SENSE AND CAN CAUSE CONFLICTS AND UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

So if you want to use Gravity Box it would be better if you had an AOSP rom but you have a Samsung phone so I don't think you will find one...

Is that possible to odex system after deodexing?

For Samsung S4's users, if we upgrade the system to Android 5.0, we won't able to use Xposed.
We have to first deodex the system.
But since odexed system has better performance than the deodexed one, I wonder if we can do this?
1. DeOdex the system.
2. Flash the Xposed framework.
3. Odex the system.
I don't know how "DeOdex" and "Odex" work. So it's just my idea. Maybe it's totally wrong.
There is no speed increase for odexed roms also since the dalvik VM is only used for backwards compatibility and all up to date apps use ART(many times faster than dalvik) there is literally no reason to odex your system it is only a bad thing. Here is some info on odex vs deodex: http://www.redmondpie.com/odexed-vs-deodexed-the-difference-between-the-two-android-roms-explained/

No need for a deodexed ROM on Samsung devices with Android 5.0.x anymore. Use arter97's version from here.

But it says
"/* Prerequisite */
Due to my skills limitation, only deodex'ed ROMs are supported for now."
And if i try to install the framework it reminds me to deodex my ROM.

Search the thread, there is an updated version available (probably not in the OP yet), which works for odexed ROMs.

Actually, deodexing has already brought me problem. My stock browser can't launch after deodexing my system.
It says "Internet has stopped working."

That's one app also pretty remote as samsung has more than likely never upgraded it to ART. Why would you use it anyway just use Firefox it has plugins and all
The framework which works without deodexing system is here.
And I don't know why after installing this version, my S4 still shows a window "Unfortunately, Internet has stopped." Maybe it's some problem about the Xposed framework itself I guess.

But I think the built-in browser costs less Rom than Firefox.

Don't you mean data? Also you have a galaxy s4 an extra 40 MB will do nothing

Conused about Xposed on Touchwiz, Nova launcher, Marschmallow

Hello
I'm a little confused about xposed and modules on stock rom for Galaxy S5. May be someone can answer my questions.
I rooted my G900F, Marschmallow 6.0.1 and installed TWRP. Then I installed Xposed Framework V89. On my phone is the stock rom installed. I used Touchwiz UI, but changed to Nova launcher.
Now, I read warnings about bootloops while using Xposed with Samsung devices. I wonder if this affects my device too.
1. Since I use Nova Launcher, is Touchwiz still an possible issue?
2. Is Xposed by itself the 'danger' part or are it the modules? So far I installed one module. Everything works fine.
3. When I open Xposed Installer version 89 there is a warning: There seems to be a known Issue (Samsung Touchwiz Rom) with your Rom. Install Xposed might not work or lead to severe problems.
If my phone is affected, what is the best possible way to avoid potential issue? I red there are unofficial Xposed versions which are modified for samsung stock roms. But I couldn't find any.
Others say, newer version are fine for my phone.

Nova launcher it's just a launcher, samsung phones ARE touchwiz, not the launcher itself.
Xposed it's the dangerous part, since it's something that edits your phone. Obliviously, if you install incompatible modules that hurts too, just pay attention to install compatible ones.
With a 5sec. search, you can find this thread.
I don't know if newer versions of official xposed are compatible with touchwiz roms, but in this thread there are the unofficial versions that are 100% compatible with yours, just read and download the correct zip.

Thank you. Very helpful.
On the thread you linked is an download link. The latest version is xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip
That's exactly the version I installed first. Later I updated it trough the xposed installer to version 89. Should I rather downgrade to the v87.1 version, or is the new installed 89version a custom build by wanam anyway?
I couldn't figure out which version (modified or not) is right now installed.

Edit: Since couldn't find a newer version than xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip, I downgraded back to this version. Now I leave it as it is.

And the last questions. When I got the correct custom Xposed framework, can modules still screw up my phone?

I'm not sure about the update. But the "normal" version should not even let your samsung phone boot up, so if it works it's ok.
Modules are not related to the official or unofficial version, I mean if you install for example gravitybox it explicitly says: "not try on touchwiz roms"
That's what I mean. Usually informations like this are in the description in the xda thread so you should be able to understand which is good for you and which not.
To add to that, in the Xposed installer, Download section, you can do searches.
Search for touchwiz or samsung to get some results that may let you know if certain modules are for, compatible with, or not for your setup.
The module descriptions in the installer are similar to the OPs of the various module threads. Might make it a little easier initially to get an overview. Then you can go to various module threads if you have questions concerning them.

Which Features(Stock) I would lost If I flash Custom ROM?

Hello,
Mine is Samsung Note 9 Exynos Variant. I'm still on official stock OS and haven't tried rooting till now. (Software information Pic attached below)
As I bored with this OS(One UI 2.5), I wanted to flash custom room and try new One UI features.
Mainly I use Secure Folder, Samsung Pass, Samsung Pay, Samsung Health.
Which features I would lost If flash custom rom? Please let me know?
Also couod anyone share rooting guide which helps a noob like me?
All Knox based apps, forever, no going back.
Secure Folder, Samsung Pass, Samsung Pay for sure. For Samsung Health there might be a rooted work around for.
I think this is correct...
Ok, Thank You.
Nobel rom thread mentioned that Secure folder is working.
Can I use other payment apps(UPI) and banking applications safely?

If you can bypass root detection, then yes.
