quick tools compass not working - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

By not working, I mean it is permanently stuck on preparing. Will never load beyond, and also means I can't use any of the other tools.

Bottom line, is that it should work flawlessly.
I have a SM-N960F model and have no issues.
All options working fine.
Maybe try locating app in Setting/Apps /Quick Tools and clearing Data or cache
See screenshots
Good luck

Doesn't work. Tried all that. I even tried reinstalling the APK. It refuses to reinstall; gives me an error.

other,options maybe ?
I presume , your other Edge panels is working fine ?
Have you disabled/freezed , an app that has a knock on effect ?
Reminds me ,that with my old Note 8 ,i had issues with the Always on Display not working .
i tried everything ,resetting Settings on device ,clearing Device cache etc, etc , nothing solved my issue.
Eventually when i did a full factory reset ...it was working !
who knows ,i know factory resetting is not everyone 's favorite option ,but as a last resort ..?
As stated in my post above ,we know that Quick Tools , does work on the Note 9 !
Good luck
post note ,
my experience with trying to re install an APK and i get an error etc
,it was either that the APK / APP was incompatible with my device
( we know that it is compatible !)
or that the previous / earlier version ( APK ) that was installed /on device was corrupted /or had a different signature etc or keeps on getting corrupted by another system app ?
Thats why a full clean Factory Reset might help .???

Yes all other panels work fine.
I don't use package disablers.
It seems overkill to factory reset over such a small and trivial function. I'll just trudge on through I guess.

Yes, i agree with you thats it seems like an overkill to factory reset.
I my case,with Always on Display not working,
( i was using it very seldom at that time)
I also had a similar attitude.
Unfortunately, it irritated the hell out of me, that Always on display , was not working.
After a period of time (about 3mths later) and without considering all the hassle of a factory reset, i just did it.
Result.
Always on display was working and at last had peace of mind !
Good luck

Still an issue for me.
Short of factory reset, I've tried everything.

Yes I have this issue also, did you manage to fix it?

I factory reset when I got to Pie, so it's been working great since. No solution without a reset I'm afraid.

Ok thanks.
Edit: Ok I've got it working by going into settings/apps then clicking in the 3 dots and then 'reset app preferences'
I didn't get to find out which app was causing the issue but it's all working fine now.

This Works

Yes this does the trick..saved me from performing a factory reset thanks

I know this is old but seeing as it's the first result for this issue I wanted to add another solution that worked for me and does not require resetting all app preference which can be a huge bummer especially if you've done a lot of configuration of your apps and disabling apps etc.
Anyway, what worked for me was the following:
Go to Settings > Developer options > Background check and make sure Quick Tools is enabled.

I had a similar problem on another phone, I fixed it by setting the application access to the sensors. I accidentally canceled this, then the compass did not work.

[Q] Really annoying issue with Google account sign in.

So I've been having this strange problem and I am convinced there is no simple solution. Every time I wipe date and install a rom, I try to sign in to the Google account during setup, and I keep getting an error saying that there was a problem communicating with Google servers. I've done a factory reset, formatted everything, tried different RUUs, and nothing seems to work. I just can't sign in on a Sense 5.5 rom. So now I want to clear the phone completely, because there must be something that no form of wiping is touching. A stock RUU can't solve the problem and I don't know what can. I even tried using LTE instead of WiFi and still no luck. Does anyone have any clue about this?

I had the same thing. My solution was wipe everyithing except data and internal memory. After that no more errors

But I have wiped everything including internal storage and used usb-otg to install roms. Nothing works. Are you sure that will fix this?
EDIT: Can confirm that your recommendation doesn't work for me. I decided to flash a different rom (InsertCoin) and in this one I can sign in, but it won't sync, it just keeps saying "Google Sync error."

It did the trick for me. Also, I mount system in recovery before doing anything. I'm pretty new to this phone and never used any recovery except 4ext on my Desire and Evo so I can't be 100% sure, leaving data did the trick for me
I've tried a few new things so far. I used the mkfs.ext4 file to format the data partition as I think that's where the source of the issue lies. But I also used fastboot to format system. If this doesn't work then I don't know what else to to. I might be forced to run a GPe rom or some other android rom. I just strongly prefer sense.

whats happens if you start a new account
It won't work. I tried typing in random letters in to the user name and password box but it doesn't even try to connect.
Well I've got bad news. I managed to hard brick my device, so this issues I was having is not an issue for me anymore. But if anyone can help find a solution that would be appreciated as I'm sure someone else might be facing the same problem.

That's when you can't enter the bootloader anymore. You hold the power button and the lights on the bottom don't flash and it'll just vibrate a bit. But it's all good I got the phone replaced today. So then I installed the rom I was trying to install earlier (the one where I couldn't sign in to google) and I ended up having the same issue. So I think I'm gonna just use ARHD or something.

Please help me with problem

This issue cannot be solved by Reflashing ROM by wiping data (experienced )

i just went through this problem on my bravo so i want to share the solution.
actually i searched the XDA but didnt get the solution.
"think again before going to hard reset or clear cache, there might be some easy ways to get rid of it "
i got this message whenever i receive a phone call.
This error message is a common complaint among Sprint users, but it can easily be removed by taking the following steps:
method #1
1. From the Home screen, hit the Menu key.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Select Call settings.
5. Select Reject with message.
6. Count how many messages are in this section.
7. Delete them until you have less than five.
After reducing the number of messages to fewer than five, you should be able to receive calls without an error message compelling you to force close the call.
method #2
Something I've also had to do to get the phone working again was going into the 'manage applications' screen and clearing the data for the phone application. This can be accomplished as follows:
From the home screen, press Menu
Tap Settings
Tap Applications
Tap Manage Applications
At the top, tap the All tab
Navigate to and tap your equivalent of the phone app (may be called Phone or Dialer)
Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data as available
Turn your phone off, then back on.
Another means of resolving those app errors, hope this helps!
method #3
didnt work above methods? strange!! hmm
100% solution
1.go into recovery
2. go to wipe/format option
3. clear cache
4. hard reset( not necessary,try only clear cache if works)
5. reboot.

[Q] Xperia SP multitouch problem?

Hey,
I just noticed that when I'm pressing the screen with one finger, then trying to hold another finger while still holding onto the screen, there is a small delay in recognising the 2nd finger...
This only happens after 30 minutes of usage, as the multitouch works just fine for a while after powering up.
The delay is not that much, but is enough to not recognise when I'm simply tapping the screen, which makes it impossible to play games like fifa 14 properly, since I have to hold down the button for a while to have a response...
I'm currently rooted, on stock 12.1.A.1.205, on the stock kernel.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Yeah I also have multitouch problem.Can't play games that require multitouch(fifa,mc5 etc)
I think it is hardware problem
Quick question dude...did you try a factory reset?
I'm thinking of trying it but I don't want to lose my data without fixing it...
Can anyone confirm that this is a hardware problem?
I have the same problem, and I'm sure isn't a hardware problem because it started when I updated the phone to the 12.1.A.1.205 version.
I also have a problem with the back key, it works for a couple of clicks and it stop working until I press the home key. This happens after the update as well, before all has working fine. It's annoying!

I thought I was the only one with the back key problem. The multitouch one I never tested.
This is why I moved to CM11 (also because of ThemeChooser :silly: )

Sorry to ask this, but, what is CM11?
CM11 is a custom ROM (basically a whole new operating system). And it's based on android 4.4.4
I used to be on CM11, it is so good, but I prefer Sony's UI.
Also, thanks for the help. Since this isn't a hardware problem I'll try a factory reset and see what happens...

I don't think factory reset would work because I keep flashing different roms with complete wipe.
Apparently a factory reset didn't help...neither a firmware upgrade...
So it has to be another thing causing it....
Any other ideas?

Bad news with the reset then
I had to reboot my phone in safe mode (I think this is the name in English, "modo seguro" in Spanish) and the multitouch seems that doesn't fail in this mode. So I think is some program that is loaded with a normal boot which is causing the trouble.

Hmm But there are programs that start automatically. I killed every process I don't use, and I'm testing if it works.
I'm fresh out of a factory reset, so I don't really have any apps installed except titanium backup and es file explorer. I also killed every app except the ones that the phone needs to work properly....still no change.
After a random amount of minutes it works fine, without doing anything...
Also a question: How did you test it in safe mode? You can't have your downloaded app on safe mode to test it..

It's funny cuz the multitouch thing is actually working, but you have to hold the screen to do so not tap it. If u tap it it wont recognise ur finger
Any one got something before I actually give up on this?

The weird thing is that after rebooting from the safe mode to the normal mode and kill every app in execution that I don't use, it works. The multitouch and the back key is working. I have no idea what to think.

Sad news...
After trying everything, from settings to scripts and touch boosting apps, I left my hopes on changing the ROM i use...
I had a stored backup of my 4.3 stock rom in the past. I restored it today and the problem persists...
I also flashed a fresh new build of cyanogenmod 11, which I used in the past aswell. No help...
I can now conclude that this is a hardware problem.
But what I don't understand is...why does this only happen after 30+ minutes of usage of the phone?
I mean it works perfectly fine on games when I start up the phone...
Thanks to everybody for the help...

Camera Issue

Hi guys.
I have a g900a from AT&T. The phone was working perfectly until recently. Now the main camera fails again and again.
The flash works, and the secondary camera works as well. I tried factory reset, clear app cache, etc. Nothing works.
If the flash is working, does it mean the camera it might still be working and it is just a software problem? As I recall, I didn't install anything weird to **** up my camera. And even if I did, factory reset would have solved it, yes?
I have no clue what is the problem or how to fix it. Please help.
Thank you!

WavesMaxx Audio not working properly

Do you also have a problem with this application ? Equalizer settings do not work. Do not memorize settings , and there is no default settings of the equalizer settings. As the phone was brand new it all worked until use Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0.6 from TCL/alcatel...

I have the same problem. No way to save a preset or get a default one.
Though it happened only after i wiped cache partition. Was having problems with calls not being displayed, though phone was ringing, only solution i found, did not help.
So i tried factory reset - didn't help. Tried Mobile upgrade tool from Alcatel - did not help.
Have no idea what would help
Maybe it could as simple as copying maxxaudio settings to android/data?
Update
So i fixed it just by deleting the Android folder on the internal memory and made a factory reset. After that all default settings are back and i can edit all of them.
I have the same problem after one factory reset.. thank you for the solution you post JOUDARAGIS will try.
I have the same problem above but I am a little bit scared deleting the Android folder, intern..
Please convince me doing IT properly so I will do IT the right way not ruin my software..
