Surroundshot crashing? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I'm on holiday in Greece and yesterday I tried to make a surroundshot with my note 8 but it didn't work!
When I open the camera app and swipe to the right I can select surroundshot, after selecting it the screen become black for 5-10 seconds and then I get the message "Surroundshot has stoped woking" with the option of close app and s3nd feedback. I send the feedback to Samsung.
Phone is up to date (android 8.0.0), updated last week.
Other apps ar all up to date.
Rebooted phone.
The surroundshot worked a few months ago on this same phone.
Maybe the update from last week is the problem?
And to help me out if nobody now's the answer for my problem, is there an alternative app that dos the same?
It would be great to use this kind of app on my holiday to make stunning pictures!
Thanks!
Ruud

Just tested mine and it did the same, I sent error report as well

More people that could test it?

[Q] Calendar reminders not working in some cases after upgrade to ICS

I have noticed that lately my calendar reminder do not always work as expected after upgrading to ICS on vivid.
Most of the times when it doesn't work is when I set a reminder event, reboot the boot. Once the phone is up, it doesn't show any reminders for the event that was set before the reboot. Has anyone else noticed the same ? Any ideas, solutions ?
Am I the only one seeing this issue, everyone else calendar event are being reminded correctly, even after the restart of the phone ? Any feedback yes or no would be great guys. I am sure most of you who own a vivid have updated to ICS, so there should be some feedback at least

This has been noted b4 and from the few devs and more experienced members have said that its a bug within ics ....iv heard that u can use a third party app to get reminders but I don't personally use that feature so I'm no good on that aspect ...but I thought I would let u know what iv read
Thanks, for the reply. Hope Google comes out with a fix soon.

Huawei Ascend P7 Notifications issue.

Hello guys, i got myself a Huwaei P7 a couple of months ago and i am facing a problem since then which i cannot solve.
I recieve regular message and call notifications just fine but i rarely get any app notifications (sometimes i recieve a notification after like an hour and only if i'm inside the app) like FB, whatsapp, Sport24 app etc etc. I have tried factory resseting my phone, giving all the proper permissions to the app s, downloaded push notifications fixer but nothing worked. If you guys have any insight on how to solve this i'm all ears (or eyes in this case)
my phone is not rooted or anything and the curreent version number is P7-L10V100R001C00B609. I also use nova launcher if it is of any importance.
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
I started this thread few months ago about his "big brother" Huawei Ascend Mate 7. This issue is largely discussed here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/push-notification-data-screen-off-t2985489
It's a global Huawei issue apparently. It would be interresting for you to take a look and share your experience.
Have a good day.
Regards.

WARNING: Update A1PV1.0.0B25 breaks camera functionality

I installed update A1PV1.0.0B25 this morning and tried to take a photo in Bokeh mode and get, "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped," message. Then, I attempt to take photo in regular mode, the shutter click sounds, but no photo is taken. Not sure what other problems there are yet, but...PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Not sure what the fix is other than rolling back the update (if possible). Ironic in that this update was supposed to improve camera function. The video camera functionality appears to be working correctly.
Good to know! Thank you for the warning. I saw the notification about the update this morning but I am at work so didn't want to update until I got home. Now I may wait awhile to see if they know about this and will fix it soon.
Stinks though, as when I saw the notification I was actually a bit excited to see there was an update and for the camera especially! On well. Guess they need more thorough testing procedures...
It Breaks Google Camera Too!
I wish I hadn't been in such a rush to upgrade. This is extraordinarily bad. Didn't they QA this? As well this probably means that the marshmallow update won't be until probably mid to late Q1. I had got excited with the first update that they would update quickly. I guess that was wishful thinking. I really regret getting this phone.
Google Camera doesn't work as well. When you try and run it you see "Camera error - there was a problem saving your photo or video".
I got this phone mainly for the audio chip and its cheaper price even with these high end specs. So far my only complaint is with the camera, as I think it could be clearer and better. Image stabilization would help a ton. But like you I find myself questioning my choice. Looking at that BlackBerry Priv, but man, is that expensive!
Hopefully they can figure out the camera issues and release another update soon.
Dont update!
I was an idiot and updated this morning without checking this forum. I should have waited because now I have no camera. I can't take pictures, I can't take screenshots, this is a complete waste. Doesn't zte test this before releasing. Obviously not.
No response yet from ZTE support
I hit up their support on the website. Haven't heard anything back yet. Not holding my breath either. If I hear anything from, I'll make sure to update. In the meantime, it might help if those of us who were suckered into installing the update hit up their support and let them know. Y'know...in case they're inclined to think it's not a widespread issue, which it looks like it is.
Wow this is a bummer. Did anyone have a successful update?

Glad to hear the update is good-to-go for you. So maybe the update isn't bad in and of itself, but may be busting the camera due to some incompatibility with something installed on some phones, but not on others. What could that be? I have no idea, but I think I see a factory reset in my very near future.
Oh, wow. On the phone with ZTE "VIP" support. They are effectively telling me "you can try a reset" and if that doesn't work "not our problem".
Seriously, So If the update messes up the device you are on your own? ?

OK, a further update after being on the phone with ZTE support for 1 1/2 hours. It appears that the upgrade had been cancelled because of problems with the release. I was offered a new device with the older release if a reset did not fix the problem.
However ZTE support could provide no transparency on when a new release could/would be available and ZTE provide no way to put in a proper support ticket for tracking purposes.
@gflash2015 Well at least they offend a new device. I rolled the dice and updated just now, hoping it would resolve my light and proximity sensor bug (both stopped working last week). Smooth sailing so far no sign of any of the bugs mentioned. Didn't fix the sensors though. Camera launches much faster now.

does wifi calling work on networks otherthan t mobile or this update is oly for t mobile customers
there is an uninstallable app that was included in the update ZTE rewards it sucks that i cant remove it.
I just tried doing a factory data reset and that seemed to clear up the camera/screenshot issues. It also managed to keep the phone on the B25 build so WiFi calling for T-Mobile was added along with the double-tap of the camera button to launch the camera.

My update was successful also my camera is working great I've tried all the mode and haven't had any crashes

I decided not to do the update. But I just checked to see I still could and its saying my phone is currently up to date. So they did take the update away until they fix it. I don't know...
Update was messed up for me. I called tech support got a human in two rings. Reset the data via settings<apps<all<media storage then force stop and clear data.
This will wipe out your photos so make sure everything is backed up.
Everything works great now.
It took me only an 11 minute phone call.
The tech said there will be a patch out Monday. He also confirmed a marshmallow update is in the works.

Someone posted this during the first week of the note 9 being sold. No one replied. Hopefully you'll get an answer.

I had the same issue.
I think the window of the app scales with you dpi. If you decrease the dpi the window should become larger - this was the solution for me.
I am the one who posted that issue on the first week, unforunately no one knew what caused that issue and I had to flash a new firmware and never faced it again eversince

Call auto answer app for Pie

Hello people!
I want to address to everyone who can help!
I need an app for Android Pie with very simple but hard to find feature. Auto answer phone call from pre selected list of callers.
I have never thought that it could be a hard to find app, but my friend who drive a bike and already had 2 tickets for using his phone when driving asked me to find an app that can automatically pick up the phone when his boss, wife and son call him. First moment I thought I will need like 10 seconds to find it but, after trying about 15 apps I found that none of them actually work. The one that works on my phone with android 8, but is not supported by android 9 and we could not even install it. He has SM-G955U - galaxy S8+ and he updated his phone recently to Pie.
If anyone knows working app could be free or paid which support this feature I would really appreciate your help.
Most of the apps that claim they support it are outdated and were updated 2-3 years ago. We tried about 15 of them and none of them work. It could be simple app or complicated project with tons of features it doesn't matter. We just need phone auto answer calls when this feature is active.
We did it already

We searched and tried all we could find and nothing works on Pie. We tried to email developers but no answers so far.
