I've had my galaxy NOTE for 5 days now and i wasn't able to download paid apps from the market! I read a lot of advice on how i can correct the situation but none of them worked( although i'm in a country that is supported ) the final advice was to go to applications and clear the data for each one ! i was stupid enough to actually do that for all apps ,but when i pressed the clear data for the settings my phone started acting weird! some text is missing : name of apps, permissions, even some text in the google search results ( even the google play apps don't show any text, rating or description)!!! some icons look half-cut ! how can i put things back to normal? this is really important...i am really depressed... i ruined my phone before i got a chance to enjoy it!!! if i reset to factory settings will this solve the problem? PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!! please give me a detailed answer! HAVE I DESTROYED MY PHONE FOR GOOD?!
I quite sure a factory reset will solve this
Dear xda users,
I have quiet some time a problem getting notification message in whatsapp and hangouts (even in the previously version on Google talk).
When i clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. meaning, Whatsapp is not running in the background, I get no pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing at all.
I then launch the app and get all my "missed" message ,then exit back to the home screen and now I see the messages and notifications.
The same thing happen when the screen is off,actually it seem it start there.
I have no limitation on the background apps,surf only with 3g and it is happen also with hangouts,it is started a few months back before google update her app,in the old Google talk also.
The most strange thing is when i launch a game,because it uses the internet when i exit from it and not clear my task manger it seems like whatsapp and hangout getting the message for day or two and there again nothing,maybe i imagine i really do not know
My phone model is i9305 with official Samsung Nordic Rom.
i used avast anti virus until couple days ago.
By the way whatsapp+ that i saw here recently could help me in any way?
I really appreciate your help. :good:
want to clear it one and for all to enjoy my phone.
Thanks in advance,
David
Hi David,
you kinda answered yourself, the problem is with the task manager. I suggest reading the following:
http://www.howtogeek.com/127388/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-use-a-task-killer-on-android/
Chris Hoffman can explain better than me
BTW it's also says directly on whatsapp that it will not work well with task managers.
Cheers
Dear eytan123,
Thank you for your replay,I want to clarify myself and tell you that i do not use any external task manger,but only the built in one in jellybean.
In addition even when i do not "clear" my ram it still no working,i also compare it to others galaxy 3-i9300&i9305 that use and clear the ram with the built in task manager and still not suffer from this Phenomenon.
I guess Samsung keeps this app because it lets inexperienced users(unlike you and myself, or for that matter anyone in XDA ) the feeling that they can upgrade their performance...anyhow - It's strongly suggested that you don't activate\use ANY task killer.
Why not trying the suggested method for a couple of days? I'm sure your results will be much better
Thanks again for trying to help,but i already try this couple of times before open this thread.
Unfortunately not a single method that i tried was useful to me.
like to hear if you have another idea
upp
bumping a thread more than once every 24 hours is against the rules. don't post until you read them
Just noticed you asked about the whatsapp+ - it's not supposed to make things any better, only customizations. And you said the problem persists at the new hangouts.
If you're certain that your internet connection(cellular of course) is working good, before I suggest wiping and re-flashing or trying another rom I suggestthat you use the following app(it increases battery usage in a VERY MINOR way):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRxbGltYXgucHVzaGZpeGVyIl0.
Try clear data
Make sure sync is on

Hi,
Thanks eytan123 but this app that you gave me it is just for rooted phones,i do not want to root my phone in this moment,about the rom,it is the same problem that i experienced in my previous official rom.
Still glad to hear about this app for future notice
Thanks hello5629,if you mean to clear app data i already try this also
You wanna tell me that only my phone suffer this problem?
Just making sure - have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the apps ?
yep,several times..
Well I guess that leaves you with factory reset your phone.
But since your'e not rooted keep in mind you'll lose all your apps..
ya i know,i do not really want to do it,i think i will open a thread in general android forum,maybe there when it is not only i9305 community,maybe some will have the answer.
Thanks again for your effort
Hi,
I'm new to these forums and i wasn't really sure where to post this thread but here goes:
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo and got a root file managing app. I then used this to edit build.prop to change my screen resolution. The line I edited had something to do with Density or something. I was and still am new to android and went and jumped right into customizing my phone. This meant, unfortunately, I didn't backup.
Useful info:
1. I can get onto recovery (volume up + home button + power button)
2. I can get to the lock screen, unlock it but then its just a black screen
3. I can pull down from the top to reveal my settings but I can't seem to turn on USB debugging
4. Messages are constantly popping up say 'TouchWiz Home has stopped working"
5. I have tried factory reset and wipe partition
I do not mind losing data as I have already wiped it
I have poked around on many forums and a good solution seems to be getting a clean Nandroid from someone else and installing that using ADB.
Any help is much appreciated! :fingers-crossed:
I was somehow able to disable the Google Search bar somehow in some setting somewhere, but I kinda want it back. Anyone know how to make it come back short of restoring the damn phone?
Please use search the next time. Your question was asked and answered in this forum section just a few days ago.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/removed-persistent-google-search-bar-t2888115
I tried searching but it wasn't coming up when I looked. Thanks for pointing me there, though.
it does look like an eyesore especially if you can't get it back. though I assume it will have its uses when you want to google something on the fly.
i think installing an alternative launcher may be the only successful way
Go to settings > apps > disabled, if it's not there then restoring might be the only option
Sent from my Xperia Z2
Go to apps, find Xperia Home then press clear data
Note that this will reset your home screen settings to default but whatever apps your have installed will remain. I don't think there's an easier way learnt it the hard way too...

Cannot pair Gear 2 neo with my phone
Hi, I just JB my gear 2 neo. The jailbreak went out OK, the problem is that when I try to pair it with the phone, cause it wont pair, my gear 2 neo is just stuck in the "Selct device on gear manager" window and my phone is stuck at the "connecting to gear" window. Now, this phone is a chinese one running kit kat 4.4.2 and it's temporary (I'm getting an LG G3 soon). I was wondering if that issue is caused by my phone model (solone SL-SA5) or if I did something wrong.

Thank you for replying. Well, actually, it's ticked. Turns out it is paired with my phone but can't get synchronized with the gear manager. Let me explain myself: My gear shows as linked in my bluetooth seetings on my phone. The audio thingy is ticked, but when I start the gear manager and I try to synchronize it, my phone supposedly starts syncing but the gear beeps twice and it won't sync, it wouldn't do anything. Anyway, I'm buying an LG G3 soon and I'm giving away this one to my father, but still I'd like to be able to synch it with that phone in case I decide to give my dad my gear 2 in the future.

Just jeep trying. Clear data in gear manager. Unpair from your phone. And then open Gear manager. And try pairing from there

Thank you my friend, I'll just keep trying. I bought the LG G3 I told you before and it works just fine there, so I'll keep trying later on the other phone. Greetings.

I installed the latest gear manager available in this forum, but I can't seem to find the multimedia control. IDK if it has to do with my phone model (LG G3) Or just the gear manager version I installed. Does anyone have info bout this issue?
Having exactly the same issue.
Did you ever manage to get Gear Manager to connect?

Modded apps. Are installed via your phone. And pushed through gear manager as an apk
Has there been any discussion on doing a cosmetic overhaul in the rom, such as replacing the icons for pedometer, messages, etc? The basic icons on the fit look okay, but for something larger as this watch, it would be nice to see something colorful and more stylish. Especially if people are using the watch styler app to try and get a premium feeling look watch face. Thanks for everything you have done!
Gear 2 Neo with LG G2
Hi, I got my new Gear 2 Neo over the black friday weekend ... I'm using it with my LG G2 and it works good for the most part.. I'm using the Gear Manager APK version 2.1.14062401
installed on my phone.
Following works fine:
All notifications (Email, SMS, Whatsapp, GMAIL etc)
All the stock apps like pedometer, exercise, sleep, heart rate etc..
Dialer (dialing out and answering calls)
Clock
what doesn't work:
Alarm
Weather updates
Answering to texts (I understand this wouldn't work anyway)
Sync with S-health (or any health app)
My question is 1) Does upgrading to Tizen 3.0 mod fix any of the issues that isn't working on my phone ?
2) I don't care about alarm or weather updates, but the Gear 2 Neo doesn't provide too much info on steps/exercise or Sleep.. Does the tizen mod address this issue? Can we sync with S-health or any other health app from non-samsung phones..??
I'm asking this purely because if the new mod doesnt address my issues, I wouldn't bother upgrading it (as I'm worried I might brick it)... Please advise.. Thanks

This thread is for the Gear 2 Neo, which does not have a camera. I believe the dev has another thread for the Gear 2 with the camera. You should probably use/install that one and hopefully it fixes your problem.

Root device - lost Call's logs sync
everything else is fine.
R380XXUOBNE5 + Note 4 N910C 4.4.4 N910CXXU1ANL2 (Samsung Gear #2.2.15011799)
when I try to see the Logs - just spinning circle and "Syncing..."
