Gear S plugin keeps stopping Note 8 pie update - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I think Bluetooth isn't working well with pie update on note 8, earlier i indicated that there's an error with car audio where no call options are appearing, and now the gear issue.

Yeah. This happens sometimes. I would wipe the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode first as sometimes that remedies the issue.

I Flashed stock firmware via odin, selecting home csc so i don't lose data, now if i factory reset, data would be lost, just wiped cache but still the car audio isn't showing call menu

Yes. That's dirty flash. You'll need to perform full factory reset.
Please backup your data before proceed.

Car audio Bluetooth issue solved after factory reset
Apparently solved Bluetooth issue, one thing which panicked me is that i backed up secure folder right before factory reset, now in restore it shows tht backup, but unfortunately Samsung is restoring contacts year old, means Samsung never backed up fresh contacts though it always confirmed it has backed up all, either they've mixed old and new backups. Anyways Bluetooth issue is solved.
But i guess we shouldn't rely on Samsung backup for contacts, google is best, unfortunately secure folder native contacts are not backed up to Google.

Factory reset done, car audio Bluetooth connection is fine now, but gear plugin issue still there, force closes all the time.
One thing i noticed while entering recovery was tht it opens with no command screen and while in recovery bottom line says firmware info not valid, is there something wrong with recovery? What can i do now?
About phone still tells phone status is official

[Q] S Memo restore by Titanium Backup seems to be OK but failed - SOLVED

I have Galaxy Note N7000. I backup everything from my phone by Titanium Backup Pro twice per week.
Recently I updated the ROM of my phone, then I installed the applications from Google Play.
Once it was done I wanted to restore the data for some applications, including S Memo to get back all my memos.
Backup seems to be successful. But I don't get back any of my notes. I have 5 backups and I tried to restore each of them, all the time it seems to be restored but I still don't see my memos.
I tried to restore "data only" and "app+data", too. Still no result.
Any idea?
Thank you in advance...
Restart phone?
You must restore sdcard/Application/SMemo as well.

I did a factory reset on my phne and the s memo data was gone... i tried to restore the "data only" option in TB.. it said it restored it but when i wen to the smemo app. only blank pages were there... but wen i opened it , the actual page was there... the thumbnails dint seem to get updated
check if its the issue in ur case as well
Open the blank pages and then save it. In that way, you will get the thumbnails back. Do a little editing IF it requires to have changes before saving.

So next time backup sdcard/Application/SMemo to save the thumbnails.

I even don't have blank pages. Nothing else but the factory default memos.
(And of course I restarted the phone.)

1. updated your rom means ? was that the ota update ?
2. in titanium backup how many smemo do u see?
3. check if the backup is of the same version of smemo you trying to restore..

What I meant was a manual backup of the directory outside of TB.
That one stores the thumbnails. So if you don't have that backed up, manually opening each memo should restore it.
Now for your situation, try to wipe data for SMemo, then restore via titanium, then reboot phone without opening it.

Guys, you are genius, it's almost solved! But i still need some help.
Yes, i found there are two versions of S Memo installed on my phone. Probably Titanium restored an older version. The problem is that i have no idea how to remove the new version and how to launch the old one. Could you please tell it to me? Thanks a lot in advance...

uninstall both smemo.. (backup both before)
install the 12.07.11.5773 (old one) app only
then go to applications and clear cache and force stop.
then go to TB and restore the data only for the same version.
now u should have a smemo icon on the app launcher screen.. open it and check the pages.. (no thumbnails)
open each of them and do a little editing and save again.. u should have the thumbnails as well.
i still havent figured out how to get this data back to the new version.. so as of now i am on the old smemo

It's getting worse and worse :crying:
I uninstalled both S memo, and forgot to backup the small one. When I installed again it didn't work anymore. I found in another topic that both of S memo are needed to run the application without any problem.
Do you have any idea where can I find the install file for both the S memos? (or at least for the smaller one.)
Once I can install it I could try to follow your suggestions.
Thanks a lot in advance...
Are u talking about smemo and smemo lite?
If yes that's not wat u need to do.
In tb there are 2 version if "smemo".. Not lite.

Have you followed the proper installation instructions on every ROM you tested? (wiping Data and other partitions)
Do you also get the freezes when connected to your charger?

Try to restore the smallest number of apps possible, always reinstall them from the play store. And NEVER restore system apps.
This should keep you free of your problems.

WARNING: If you used Titanium Backup and want to go to 4.3, read this

EDIT: Per gharlane00's post below on 11/06/13, TiBu has apparently fixed this issue with a new release.
I found this out the hard way, but TiBu is broken on S4's that go to 4.3. Here's their warning:
http://www.titaniumtrack.com/latest-news/attention-samsung-s4-users.html
If you restore any apps with it, you'll get a security warning when running it, if it runs at all. I've been slowly restoring everything one app/setting at a time. Frustrating to say the least when I paid for TiBu to do it for me.
On this subject, does anyone know if just restoring the "data" from TWRP will just intall apps/settings from MF9 to MJA? I'd guess it's not a good idea, but curious if anyone knew for sure.

It borked my phone terribly. Got tired of uninstalling/reinstalling each app due to force closes. I then decided to wipe my phone and then it soft bricked.. been that way for 2 days. Avoid TiBackup like the plague until they resolve their issues.

Yep, happened to me to. To fix the issue, go back into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Or just forgot about Samsung's crappy update and flash an AOSP rom like I did.

I saw some were having trouble with TB so before I upgraded I backed everything up with TB, then I did a factory reset in recovery. I then odined the mf9 full tar file to bring me to completely stock. I then ran cf autoroot on the stock mf9. Loaded up TB and restored everything I wanted restored with TB. This left me with a stock rooted mf9 with all the apps and data restored. I then installed the MJA update using the stock recovery. This way I didn't have to restore my apps after the MJA update since I heard TB was not working right after the update. Hopefully this helps some people that don't want to lose their game progress or app data.
I've never been a fan of tb kinda glad now I've been using mybackup pro and everything went smooth for me

Sorry, a little confused by your answer. Are you saying after doing a stock recovery factory reset, TB would restore the apps for you? If not, what did you use to recover your apps (if anything worked for you at all)?

Sorry, I should've been clearer. Doing a factory reset allowed me to have a usable phone again. It didn't fix the problem of not being able to use TB.

I wasn't sure either... googled it. SELinux = Security-Enhanced Linux.
What caught my eye was that it was started by none other than the NSA back in 2000. You know, because the NSA is so concerned about making sure prying eyes can't get to your stuff.
I know it's open source and all, but still, makes ya think...
There is an app in the play store called TB restore fixer, it's supposed to solve the problem of restoring with TB on a 4.3 phone. It was written for the Note 3 but may work for us too.

Never mind, the TB Restore Fixer did work. You still get a notification in the status bar but the application does not force close and you can continue to use it. I only got one notice. So after getting one notice, I cleared it and then went back into the app and didn't get a second notice. So that is better than nothing

One last update, so I force closed the app I restored, opened it up again and I did get the security warning again in the notification. But it is a small price to pay if you have an important app that you have valuable data that needs to be restored now.

TB Fixer worked for me.
Restored my phone log and old messages without a problem. Haven't been able to restore data on the few apps I tried.
Edit: I just tried TB Restore Fixer from the play store. I manually installed the app and used Fixer. It hung on the first attempt but had already applied the fix. After a reboot, the second app worked great.

Here's what i did and i kept everything. I was currently on a stock rooted mf9 rom, i downloaded the 1click odin stock mf9 Tar and flashed that to unroot myself and get rid of my custom recovery. This way, i didnt need a factory reset and all my apps and data were still there. Then i just downloaded the ota MJA and flashed that through the stock recovery thus getting me to MJA with everything working and my apps and data on there too. After that, i got some force closes cause NOVA u have to be rooted to use nova launcher. I then odin the CF-Auto root file and downloaded su from market and updated it. after that everything worked fine. for now im not going to risk getting any custom recoveries. So im just on stock rooted MJA for now and everything works good. If you guys would like me to post the links to the files i used. just quote me x).

I'm having this issue. Very frustrating. I can't find a download for a commercial or journalist link. If I find one, do I have to do the whole process of clearing, flashing rom, power off, and then flashing FTF again, or do I just re-flash with the new ftf?

Fixes for non working camera
1) Clear data for ALL camera related apps in settings
2) Do a factory reset
3) If rooted, enter recovery, clear cache, clear dalvik, reboot
Start with doing (1), see if it works, if not try (2), see if it works then try (3)
Only if all 3 of these options do not work should you try a full reinstall.

Those will likely do nothing, the error comes from mm-qcamera, which is part of low level libs, clearing dalvik cache is almost always useless. A factory reset won't affect this issue either.
I'm guessing some FTFs carry different versions of camera libs.

yes flashing the commercial-journalist version fixed the issue for me but I lost root and recovery. However, I used fastboot to flash Z1_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-681_v02.img and then flashed the latest Super Su from the new DooMLoRD recovery to re-root the device.

Fixes for non working camera
1) Clear data for ALL camera related apps in settings
2) Do a factory reset
3) If rooted, enter recovery, clear cache, clear dalvik, reboot
Start with doing (1), see if it works, if not try (2), see if it works then try (3)
Only if all 3 of these options do not work should you try a full reinstall.

Hi,
after update to 4.4.2, my camera freezes after a few shots.
I made the step 1, rebooted the phone, and now it seems to be ok.
Thanks a lot.

Samsung Pay

Anybody else stuck at the verification screen when trying to setup Samsung Pay? I'm at the use your fingerprint screen and when I use my fingerprint, nothing happens. I also tried tapping Skip and use Samsung Pay PIN but nothing changes.

Havent gotten my note 8 yet. But this did happen to me on the note 7. Called up samsung and they said to go into the apps and delete all the date and caches for the samsung pay app. Restart the phone and try again.
Maybe sure your ffingerprint is setup and working already in the lock screen and website log ins.
No, I'm still stuck at the "preorder" part of the Note 8 Saga
I ended up factory resetting my Note 8 and it worked after that.
I keep getting this ???

Unfortunately it seems factory reset is the way to go. I tried clearing cache / data under the App, uninstall, reboot, re-install directly from Samsung's store and no dice. Factory Reset got it.
I miss Titanium as well! But I used the Samsung Cloud to backup my messages and settings so at least it was better than nothing. Better to do it now while it's still early
Ugh factory reset ... can you still run a backup and restore? I'll uninstall it back up, factory reset and restore

Yeah, I used Samsung cloud and did the back-up and restore. Frustrating but worth it to earn Sammy points for using Bixby and Samsung Pay.
All fixed .....

I'm having the Pay load problem. I guess it's a good time to try out that Premium Care and see if it's worth it.

Premium Care people say it's a known issue and to try again in 48 hours.
I recently had a similar problem on my s7 edge, setting up samsung pay for the first time and getting errors. I had to update the app through the play store, samsung app store wasn't showing an update available for it, then it started working.
Has anyone with this problem tried booting into recovery and clearing ART cache in addition to the app data/cache wipe?

Smart switch won't backup the data to your apps though right? It didn't for me. Went from note 3 to the 8 and the apps loaded but none of the info to them

I am also having the same issue and looks like factory reset is the way. Will wait till evening to see if anyone can find a solution without reset.

When I boot into recovery I see options to clear only data/cache wipe. Where to find and clear ART cache in recovery?

:laugh: I did that already, no use.
I had the exact same issue. A factory reset did clear it up. It also removed some lag I was getting on various screens and scrolling.
no issue on TMO
had zero issues setting this up.
i will say i did not do a restore of any kind because this is my first sammy.
