I have had my Gear for 3 days. For the most parti have been enjoying it. But there have been some aggravating problems.
1. I can no longer put my Note 3 in One-handed mode for all screens using the gesture. I've checked the songs and everything, and it is still activated. This was a feature that I used constantly! Now ever since linking with the watch it doesn't work anymore. Even after un-linking the watch from the phone, no luck. Very frustrating. Please help
2. Secondly, every time I go into my browser (stock) it talks to me. As if the accessibility option is on for blinds people. It says stuff like "page loading". The crazy thing is, this feature is turned off in the accessibility options! Someone please help as I don't know what to do. I haven't found any thing on Google web searches on this topic. It's surprising that is only me.
Please help!

have you granted an app permissions in the accessability settings? Samsung have a serious bug with this - do a search for samsung talkback issues. Also look here
http://developer.samsung.com/forum/board/thread/view.do?boardName=GeneralB&messageId=229161
Suggest you do not use any apps that needs the accessability service.

Thank you! I had given the Face book app for the gear rights. That app is not really that good anyway. That fixed both problems. That's a weird bug. Thanks for your quick response.
Glad it sorted both problems. Allowing an app accessibility access not only causes talkback issues but limits the functionality of additional features provided by samsung - such as air view etc.
I posted feedback on the facebook app - they should not need to use accessibility now that we have android 4.3 - instead that should use the android notification service.

Off topic. Do u foresee bluetooth tether to allow Internet access for apps on the gear happening pretty soon if at all?
I don't know but are you aware you have 3 duplicate threads open.

I foolishly activated McAfee which is pre-loaded on the European Note 8 running Android 9, big mistake. It has taken a dislike to one of my apps, which is important to me and have used for a couple of years with no issues. The problem is you cannot add to a safe list, or deactivate McAfee, have tried many solutions, but no luck. It is hell-bent on the deletion
The phone is not rooted.
Anyone on this forum got any experience or solution with this bloatware, there must be a way to deactivate without a full reset back to factory settings?

Will give it a try, although not sure will be able to locate this app, McAfee is nowhere to be seen anywhere, except the reference (powered by McAfee) when you do a security scan.
But there is some other bloatware I would like to remove, so will be a useful exercise.

You can download an app on Google Play called "package inspector" which will give you the app name so you can disable it.
For the device security use the line below.
com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity
I am using an app from Google Play called Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung) that has successfully disabled everything I want. It cost a couple bucks but was well worth it.

Wish it was that easy, Not sure using what you are using but note 8 running android 9 that is not possible. McAfee is hidden somewhere in the security app and is not visible in settings.

That is not possible, check it out, you will not find McAfee anywhere in settings.

Not possible to deactivate, have tried many times. I think the only solution is a hard reset and not activate McAfee.
Hi guys
I have a persistent problem with my p30 pro. I get notifications very late or not at all only if I open the app (whatsapp, messenger, email etc) then I get all messages at once. Its very frustrating because I had some important ones sometimes. Is there any fix for this? Anyone having same problems at all?
Also after I cleaned up some bloatware, I am not able to log in my mobile banking app. Is there any package I have to install back?
Please help... Thank you very much.
Regards
Alex

As you have a chinese version of the phone and you installed the GMS(if you did for having Google services) separately, therefore your notifications won't work properly, because many apps notifications are GMS related and your phone might not be Google certified. The same problem is present on P40 / P40 Pro users that bought the phone without GSM preinstalled and tried (some of them managed to install it, some of then didn't) to make notifications work, but they are out of luck. There are some replacing apps for email or messages, but need testing.
Your mobile apps were working before removing bloatware? If your answer is yes, remember what you removed (if you used my guide in order to remove, you can see there the way to reinstall the apps WITHOUT Factory Reset your device) and reinstall them using ADB.
Cheers,

Yes my mobile banking was working before the bloatware clean. I am trying to figure out which one affected the app and reinstalling them back as we speak. Hope I get the right one back.
Thanks alot buddy

I was thinking to do a factory reset and start fresh again but realized that the mobile banking still lets me use the mobile token only to sign payments. Reinstalling the bank app requires a bank visit in person, for them to authorize the app with a code(stupid if you ask me, should be done by phone as well).

BTW if I install for example Evie launcher and use adb to remove huawei launcher would it work after reboot ? And if I mess things up would I fix them with factory reset ? Just don't want to brick the phone.

Awkward about the bank app (which bank is it)? Can't you do it over the internet, regardless the lockdown period we're on? Like they do it when you want to create an new acount (videocall, you ID's...)?
If you remove the default launcher, the chances to get errors are pretty big . And YES, if you mess up things on it, you can Factory Reset the device and all is back, like when you unboxed your phone.

Hello all and thanks for having such an awesome app! , I stumbled upon this app while searching the software info of the various programming and apps in the "about phone" menu of my Galaxy note 10. I am experiencing hacking issues on all of my devices. With that being said I'm happy to be here and hopefully I can learn a thing it two as well as get some help and give some if possible.

Disconnect your internet and there will be no more hackers!
Now seriously, maybe an antivirus for the computer or doing a factory reset on the phones can solve the problem? Something you downloaded created backdoors on your devices

That's the thing, I've got VPN, Blockada DNS, and don't (well try not to click why suspicious links or texts) how would one go about getting them out?. I've factory reset before and it seems everytime I do something to get them out they retaliate by disabling Bluetooth, blocking texts, emails, phone calls just to name a few. I've even gotten a new phone and that didn't help.
Hello everybody! Suddenly i have no more sound feedback (like writing on real paper) in screen off memo and in notes. Yesterday i have this sound feedback when writing on locked screen. Now, without changing any settings, i have not. I only have sound feedback in writing on screenshots. In advanced settings- s pen i have sound enabled for removing--attaching s pen and for screen write. What gives?
Any updates or new/uninstalled apps?
Try clearing the system cache. Try a hard reboot.
Thank you for your resonse. But how to clear the cache?
You're welcome.
It's on the boot menu on Samsung's.
It sometimes cures bizarre behaviors. I clear it about once a month or after major installs/uninstalls.
I just clear the cache partition and still no sound from pen except when writing on screenshot.

Probably something simple. Try a Google search and include Samsung members forum.
Annoying but I wouldn't sweat it or factory reset for just that. You'll likely solve it in a few days or weeks.
Same thing here
Couple of weeks now without the sound
I thought it was because i uninstall the app for writing and install sketchbook app but no
Any solution? I really love it the sound
I just enable Spen to text i had to enable samsung keyboard and now i have sound only when doing that writing on a search box

The app may have changed hidden user settings and done a less than clean uninstall. It happens.
Reinstall the app and revert the change setting if possible.
Clear system cache. Hard reboot.

You're the one best qualified to find it. Cause and effect. The last things that were changed before it stopped working. This is one reason you don't allow auto updates, one less variable.
Sampling apps can cause big problems even after the app is uninstalled. I've seen it with a Google reading app. Rare but it happens. Best practice to install apks/version you previously vetted only.
Try in safe mode...
This has just happened to me too. Trying to figure out a fix.
One clue
I have a Galaxy Tab S8 plus. I'm suffering this problem as well. It happens to me several days ago, after updating both the OS and the stores. I'm also actively looking for a fix.
Scribble/writing sound only works in Handwriting (when you write in a box and the software converts it to text) or when S Pen to text is in use (only when in given text fields). None of the drawing or note-taking applications produces the sound, regardless of the settings. Obviously I checked the tables is not in do not disturb mode, silence or vibration only. Additionally, I double-checked the S Pen sound is on.

What I learned over the last decade about Samsung firmware* upgrades/updates, they tend to break things.
Rule #1- if an OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be! Anything from Pie and above is reasonably secure in actual use without updates or upgrades if you don't do stupid things.
If worse comes to worst as long as the boot loader wasn't upgraded too (Samsung does that double whammy sometimes) you can roll it back.
Eventually... Samsung will probably patch it.
* includes Buds+ and other Samsung bt devices as well, last firmware upgrade degraded the sound quality of one pair I have If you have a pair don't upgrade the firmware. Last version shipped from the factory runs A-OK.
@blackhawk Take a look at this https://samsung-notes.en.uptodown.com/android/versions. Can you please explain how there are higher versions like 4.7 when the latest is 4.4.00.64 in Galaxy Store? Is it that they made the version and it somehow got there, but they don't publish it until further bug testing? EDIT: Or maybe a higher number in the version does not correspond to a higher version (judging by the dates)? I'm not into these things...

Don't know. Not reassuring though
Before you side load anything scan with online Virustotal first. If there's any doubts delete that apk. It's not worth the risk.
