[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jose_tortola:
First of all, this is my first post in the forum after more than two years reading... so, hi everyone!! :D

Yesterday I was bored enough to visit Samsung Apps in my SGSII. It was the first time in a couple of months I used the samsung app store, so when it started it told me there were new version, and I agreed to update.

During the instalation of the update and new start, it told me there was an update for "Samsung Push Service" :confused: but I commited to install it.

Since then, using Better Battery Stats, in the partial wakelocks, I've noticed that, asociated with that service, there is something called "b" that has :eek:3h 18m 52s, Count: 17, 10.8% of total wakelocks in the stats (6h 42m 29s awake, 1h 53m 28s screen on):eek:.

My batery has drained very simillar as it used to do when the process "SO Android" was the #1 in the battery stats (before disabling Fast Dormancy and reducing the time connected to wifi or data to the minimum I require), but the #1 process now showed in the battery stats is "System Android". The only fact in the battery stats is the blue line of "Wake" showing continuous periods with the screen off, much more than ever.

Does anybody knows what exactly is this "Samsung Push Service"?. I haven't found anything about it in the forum. It sounds to me like something "new" in my phone (I've never seen it before in the process running), maybe with use only for samsung appstore. And, if it's so, I'm uninstalling it in a very short time...

I don't know if this could be helpfull to anyone, but I hope so.

I have your same problem!! What is this "Samsung Push Service" exactly?!?! :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_pascal:
Same problem...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Maybe something to do with Samsung Social Hub and any social networks added to the hub such as Twitter or Facebook etc?

Check the settings and if update interval is set.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
same issue here, how can i deactivate this sucker?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kavey:
I've had this issue, but wasn't sure if it was Speedmod related or updating Samsung Apps. Thanks for the post as now I realise it's the latter.

I used Titanium Backup to uninstall it, now the problem has gone. I don't use the Samsung Hub stuff (music/games/social) so wouldn't have needed it anyway.

Now my phone is sleeping soundly like it should, no more unnecessary wakelocks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
yes thanks eventually i figured it out but , honestly whats the need for that thing??

Mine was accounting for 40% of power usage after 3 hours of usage. I've uninstalled it too so hopefully that's all there is to the story.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
F**K Samsung Apps!

I too made a mistake of opening and updating Samsung Apps today and installed the Samsung Push Service along with one more Security Update. Ever since, the battery has been draining so fast, it's getting empty right in front of my eyes! Even after uninstalling the Push Service, it is still draining with great speed! I think I should FREEZE the Samsung Apps using Titanium forever! No other option left! This is crazy!

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Guys! Freezing Samsung Apps and uninstalling the Push Service has NOT Helped. Battery still getting drained in no time. Not getting charged at all even after being plugged into my laptop. It is draining continuously! and the phone has heated up! Should I uninstall the Samsung security update (Samsung Installer utility) also?

Someone pls HELP! URGENT!

Edit: Uninstalled the Samsung Installer utility also, and plugged it in for charging. Hope it works this time. Only 5% battery charge left!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manmad:
weird, i installed it a few days ago without any problems?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Urgent! The battery drain is serious!!!!

Guys! This is SERIOUS! EVEN AFTER UNINSTALLING the Samsung Push Service and the other Samsung Utility and also freezing the Samsung Apps using Titanium, the battery drain continues! Nothing has worked. Battery going from 100% to ZERO in less than 3 Hours! Does anyone know what is happening and how to stop this???

I think the only option left now is to reflash the ROM. I was on XWKK2 CF-Rooted which was working great till this damned Samsung Update!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I would also full wipe (factory reset, cache, dalvik) in recovery immediately prior to flash. Don't forget to backup apps and nan-Droid first. After that, let the ROM "bed-in" for a while, check drain after a few full charge cycles (recalibrate). If all good, then instal apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgooger:
The Samsung Push Service is for installing apps via website ...

You think it drains a sgs II battery fast? ... I can say not as fast as a sgs battery (no II Puss or whatever)

This app is somewhere between nonsense and bull****.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexaae:
I can confirm after many experiments (more than 1 month) that Samsung Push Service 1.0.1 is the cause of quick battery drain issues on Galaxy S2.

Solution: just uninstall these apps installed by the app 'Samsung Apps':

- Samsung Push Service

- Samsung Ad Utility (AdService)

Then Disable automatic notify updates (SApps won't ask you anymore to install these other tasks, nor will silently install them everytime you run SApps) with menu button and choose (None, WiFi, Data packets) "None".

You can use Samsung Apps and then when finished remember to uninstall those apps (silently installed when running latest Samsung Apps!!).

The sad thing is that, as always, Samsung has no serious software support form to report bugs so we'll probably have to live with this annoying problem for many months yet...

@TheMegastar

For sure those tasks cause battery drains, but in your case you must have installed something else which still drains your battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3kgt:
Well i have tried a nother thing! And seems to work "preety good"

Open Samsung Apps

And push Settings

(New Program msg turn that Off)

Then Go back and in the Samsung App push My Side

And turn off Push Messages!

Now i use a Swedish Version! So it might be called something else in your case.

The only good in Samsung Push service is that it tells you about uppdates of Apps that you installed throw samsung apps!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] pakalrtb:
What shipping method did you use ?

Did you have to go through any custom clearing process involving additional costs ?

P_
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] pakalrtb:
Really hard to believe, and indeed they have only the wifi version listed on their website.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
i thought you meant the 3G/voice call feature/unlocked version/unbranded version. Tmobile does have hspa+ variant, no hardware for voice support.

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

ordered mine wednesday, looks like its at customs today, called DHL and they say its normal nothing to be concerned about yet.

@clubtech, let us know how yours is working with whatever carrier/SIM you use.. looks like AT&T from you pic there. Are you planning on using this with grandfathered unlimited smartphone data plan and voice? Thats what I plan to use and Im almost certain we will be OK. just like to be sure.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axtn95:
So i started to play minecraft and everything would start going mental when my second finger would touch the screen. I downloaded some multitouch test apps and when i put my second finger on the screen it registers the second finger, but starts fluttering, as in registers it, then loses it, then sees it again..... Anyone have this issue?

I think its cause the apps aren't optimized for ICS or GNEX?

EDIT: YES! It's apps not being compatible, just tried another one, everything registers PERFECT.

[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
I cannot seem to get new contacts and calendar entries to sync to Google. It will only download new contacts and will not upload new entries.

I have tried the usual, checking and unchecking Auto-sync, contacts, calendar. Tried "Sync Now." Nothing. Email works both directions tho.

This is a huge pain, because I already lost new contacts I entered after a hard-reset.

[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
Sadly, I just added a new calendar entry and contact, manually hit "Sync Now" and there is no sign of them on my Google Account.

Can you try adding a new contact and see if it shows up on your G account?
[HTC Rezound] punman:
I have verified both contacts and calendar entries I've created on my phone are displayed correctly when I access my Google Contacts and Calendar from a desktop.

Do you save new contacts to "Phone" or "Google" when you enter them on the phone? Do you have "All Calendars" selected, or just the Google calendar, in your Calendar app?
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Added new contact to hotmail and it went to hotmail and gmail on computer and phone.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
I have all calendars selected. How do I change to just the Google calendar?

Also, where is the option on where to save contacts? I didn't change anything from the way it came and would assume that it automatically saved to google.

Thanks to everyone helping me figure this out.
[HTC Rezound] nlitend1:
From the homescreen, go to Phone>people>"+" sign to add a new contact. Then the first box is "contact type" change that from default (Phone) to your google account.

I found this out the hard way when i lost all phone numbers after a hard reset. It's strange that they're not set to "google" by default.

Hope this helps.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
under phone/people, you can also click on view and choose just google contacts. From there on, it will only add them to your gmail contacts.
[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
This is what I needed! Verizon is trying to teach some hard lessons. Google should definitely be the default.

Same was true for the calender. It defaults to "PC Sync" for new entries, not gmail.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
HA! I think Verizon is hoping Android newbs won't know that it syncs contacts nd saves them between phones/resets in the hope to push their sync option.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
There is still the problem/issue of when you edit a google contact on your phone in the people app, it will NOT sync the change back to the google servers. For example, if a contact's phone number is (123)-456-7890, and I go to the people app and edit the contact and change the number to (111)-456-7890 and save it. It only stays changed on the phone for a few mins. When it re-syncs with google's gmail server it goes back to the way it was (123)-456-7890. Or if you edit a contact's email address or home address, or group name, etc. The changes on the phone only last 30 seconds to a few mins until it re-syncs with google's servers and then the changes get wiped out. Its like its only a one way sync. I've never had this issue on any other android phone or ROM.

I believe this is a bug in the People app on the Rezound. I've emailed HTC several times and they tell me I'm making a mistake. But d@mn how hard is it to edit contact info?

I bought a 1980 mAh extended battery for my LG Thrill back in October and have been away since it came in. I am unable to get it to charge at all, no matter what I do. It's too late to return it at this point. Has anybody had similar issues with these batteries? Would an external charger solve the problem?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agenator:
Hi folks - I need some help.

Right now I am running the CM7 nightly #252. I've flashed gapps and everything works fine, with one exception...

My Gmail has not synced in ages. I have to do a manual sync, and when I go to Accounts and Sync, the Gmail option is not available.

I have searched elsewhere and the suggestion was to reflash gapps, which I did. No luck yet.

Any suggestions?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
You will not see an option under Accounts and Sync. You must tap on your Google Account to bring up the services that are attached to ID. Then you should see it.

And you might want to uninstall g-Mail and reinstall it. Flashing g/apps doesn't do the same thing that it did on 2.2 and 2.1. Thats why that didn't work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agenator:
omg. I never knew that option. Gmail not checked. Thank you!!

Does anyone have any issue with the stock email app for imap accounts? I have a corporate email acct set up, which works fine and I like to consolidate things where I can, so I moved my gmail/hotmail accounts from separate apps to the stock app. Everything worked fine until this morning when I began to get sync failure messages saying "could not connect to imap.vzw.net." So far, I've disabled smart actions, verified data & data roaming are enabled, cleared the email app data/cache & wiped system/dalvik caches in recovery. Any other ideas?
[Kindle Fire General] bigragu:
This may seem dumb to people who know a lot more about development than I do, but I had an issue that I was having a hard time with and came up with a solution that worked. So, I wanted to share it in case anyone else has the problem.

Background: My phone was rooted. I had side loaded some apps including my favorite keyboard that I use on my Galaxy S called TouchPal. There is a whole thread on installing alternative keyboards in the development section.

After I side loaded TouchPal and followed the instructions in the alternative keyboard thread, I was getting consistent FCs and system dumps. My KF wouldn't let me do anything for more than a few seconds without FC and system dump. The system dump is what was really killing me. I couldn't access anything because the device kept going back to the dump after every FC.

I went to different threads and was trying to do some things like unbrick or uninstall the app through adb. But I am too dumb to follow the instructions precisely so in desperation I wondered if I could do anything in those few precious seconds I had when the device was not experiencing a FC.

Now, during this process below I was constantly having to continue after a Force Close until I could do it fast enough that the device didn't have time to FC before I had completed the process. It's seems very simple, but it did work and you have to be quick:

1. Hit the quick menu

2. Hit "More"

3. Hit "Device"

4. Hit "Reset to Factory Defaults"

After I did this, the device started to go back to a default state even though I was continuing to get FC as the device was doing this.

Eventually it was able to complete and the device rebooted. After it was done booting, I was still getting FC from the TouchPad keyboard, but I wasn't getting the system dumps, which is what really prevented me from doing anything. Finally, I was able to get to my applications and "Force Stop" the TouchPal keyboard. Then I was able to remove it.

My situation may be unique, but I hope it helps someone.

I think this is the right place for this thread I'm a little confused. If its not im sorry I meant no harm

I have here a Sprint s511 Snap

I was trying to load cooked roms for a buddy of mine (the phone does not belong to me)

I used SDA unlock

Then I used HSPL it went to 100% and rebooted

i thought that meant everything was straight

I tried to flash 3vo,

It got to 30% and shut down (because there was no HSPL)

It boots to tri-color, I do have USB support. Every thing I tried to flash stays at 0% except one I found that was in spanish, it could get to 1% lol

The hard reset did not work

Im looking for a shipped rom, I searched for at least 4 hours last night but I could not find one anywhere.

Im really upset that I bricked my friends phone, I need some help.

is there firmware available now in Neo?

there is no noticeable difference, probably just some bugfix.

yes is available fo neo, i update my to .58 some time ago via pc companion.

[HTC EVO 3D] androidflea:
I have seen a video on YouTube for siri for android,but apparently it only comes with Samsung Galaxy,iv tried Eva,omega,iris,etc but the galaxy version can be used without touching the Mic,it has a magic word,as soon as the words "Hi Galaxy" are said the app starts working, does anyone know any other apps that have a magic word to activate,insted of pressing the Mic on screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
That seems weird, since it means the mic would have to be on 100% of the time, and software would have to monitor what you say. Seems like epic battery drain to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bairdog35:
I agree with above comment, also I really don't understand why people want siri on Android, Cant you guys just be happy with the one pre-installed? Yea It don't do all that cool stuff but hey it works..
[HTC EVO 3D] androidflea:
Update,here is the video link.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK0HNN4qLYc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I'm going put the link up for you, Nokia used to have a magic word years ago,so its nothing new ,I'm just amazed we still have to touch the screen,in todays technology, ill put the clip up so you can see what I mean.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
The mic was active once the app opens. He'd have to use a touch interface to open the app though. If he closes that app, saying, "Hi Galaxy" won't do anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Well, that clears it up for me. I can't see any app wanting the mic & software to be running 100% of the time. That'd seriously drain your battery. At that rate, rather than launch the app, I'll just long press the search button to open voice search. Same amount of touches, same result.
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
I thought with cIQ the mic is active? oh wait maybe that was their next update. LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruki_Uki:
How often would you really use Siri is my question.

[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
I know some people who use Siri a lot. I imagine it's like how texting was when it first came out. All you have to do is get used to it.

Ok, does anyone know which voice application will do the same as this galaxy version,with the "Hi Galaxy" part, can we port it?
