SW2 Notification activates Talkback

Has anyone found a resolution to this problem?

I have Whatsapp Alerts, Notifications for Smartwatch and they both create a talkback in my browser when the notifications are activates. this is really anoying and the developers keep telling me to try options that arent there.

My device

Sony Xperia Z1 rooted C6903 14.1.G.2.257 Generic UK 1276-0875_R10A

[Sony Smartwatch] kylespk:
I dont see a solution to this problem at all and it is so frustrating especially as I have paid for these apps. [MENTION=277878]Vicente[/MENTION] has just mentioned how to get notifications to stop but not how to disable the talkback bug.

I have just switched to WatchIt and I am not having any talkback problems. Think this is the best solution available at this point without help from the developers themselves.

I am using whatchit for whatsapp and hangouts and I don't see double notifications. I used whatchit settings to ignore everything except whatsapp and hangouts. The rest of the notifications comes from regular smart extensions. You may try that.

ALLNOTIFY- Best Notifier App for Sony Smartwatch 1 & 2

AllNotify is a one stop app to receive notifications of various apps of your phone onto your Sony SmartWatches (1 & 2)

RECEIVE NOTIFICATION FROM WHATSAPP,WECHAT, LINE and other favourite messaging apps.

So how is AllNotify different from others

1. Spacing between messages on watch which makes them simple, clean and readable.

2. Continuous notifications like phone call, hangouts video call, Runtastic PRO are ignored this avoiding watch to restart.

Special Features for WHATSAPP and LINE.
[Sony Smartwatch] JarlSX:
does it have filtering?

i don't want each and every tweet on my watch, only from selected accounts
[Sony Smartwatch] dersie:
I use allnotify in my sw2 but there big issue, app do not dismiss notification on phone when read on watch.

I will try "Notify SmartWatch" to see if it works better ?

Hey guys.

Perhaps some of you can shed some light on the problem i am currently having.

Heres a long story.... short:

I've been using Omega's roms from quite some time now (since February i think) and had zero problems so far.

Last friday i noticed that my phone was not getting network signal. I had to take a long trip to visit the missus, so i ignored it, and slept the whole journey.

When i arrived, i noticed that the problem persisted. Called her to pick me up and went home.

When i arrived home, i flashed, with full wipe, a rom i had hanging around in my External SD card. Its was omega's 46.1 ROM.

When i finished flashing, i noticed that now, not even did i have no network, but i also couldn't make or receive calls, sms, etc.

Spent the whole saturday lurking these foruns and google and found out that my IMEI got somewhat corrupted (0045(. Obviously i had no EFS backup. Or couldn't find it.

Read some guides and decided to flash stock rom, downloaded from samsung site, via Odin.

Despite the flash, IMEI still was corrupted (0045). Tried to flash Omegas again, still failed. Went back to stock, failed.

This Monday i took my phone to repair with the stock rom on. Costed me 30€ to get the EMAI back and all was fine. I was sure that once i've got the IMEI back, all would be solved. The guy on the store gave me the phone with IMEI restored and already rooted. It was all good.

Did an EFS backup, both with the aroma installer and with an app called KTool.

Today i've tried to flash both versions (4.1.2 based on XXEMRG and 4.2.2) and has soon has i boot up, i get a network problem.

Now even flashing Stock gives me this problem.

I've used ARIZA patch and it solves my problem in any of the versions.

My question are: why do i even need it!? I didn't the last time i flashed a ROM. Is some part of my system still corrupt?

What can i do about it?!

Thanks all for your help in advance. Its truly appreciated!

I am so happy to have tether again, but I am very curious as to how this goes unnoticed by Verizon? Since this gets processed through the native tethering app how does it stay below the radar of Big Red?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dimitrisg:
Caution

So I saw this portion of the thread and thought I would try to achieve this also. I messed with the system folder and totally bricked my phone. No hope of recovery. It was my fault for messing with something that I knew nothing about but just want to caution anyone thinking of doing this to be very careful.

I changed permissions for this folder and locked up the phone and it won't even let me Odin, flash through recovery or sideload through adb.

So my device is toast.

Just be wary of messing with things unfamiliar.:(:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Sorry I changed the directions because I could have been more clear. You messed with the system folder? I was saying to make the system r/w and chmod 644 the file feature.xml under /system/csc/. The system folder it self should be chmod 755, but you dont chmod the system to anything, leave the system folder alone in fact never change the permissions of /system or any folder within the /system directory, only change it on files within a folder. For example /system and /system/csc should both be rwxr-xr-x (755) and never changed, while /system/csc/feature.xml should have its permissions set to rw-r--r-- (644) What do you mean you cant Odin what happens when you try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
what's chmod 644?? I've been around a while but I never heard that before?

Sent from my VZW Galaxy Note 3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
When people say"push the app to /system and then change permissions" the permissions they are referring to is setting chmod the app to 644 which is setting the permissions for the owner, group and others.

chmod 644 = rw-r--r--

Owners -6 = read and write

Group - 4 = read only

Others -4 = read only

Number convention:

4 = read only

2 = write only

4 + 2 = 6

6 = read and write

5 = read and execute

5+2 =7

7= read, write and execute
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That's the UNIX "change mode" command. That's the way that UNIX systems define the protection mode for files.

644 is a protection mode, meaning read/write for owner (6), read for group (4), read for all (4).

Your root file manager should be able to allow you to set the mode and ownership of any file that you copy around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
Well thanks for the info. I've been doing that for years and didn't know that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dimitrisg:
I am certainly not blaming anyone for this, it was clearly my fault for messing where I shouldn't be but I appreciate you wanting to help.

After I changed the system folder permissions, it immediately crashed. When it rebooted it bootlooped twice then booted into system recovery where the android guy lay on his back dead with a red exclamation point in his belly. It simply said error and nothing else but gave options to update, reboot, wipe, the usual.

I tried every file to be had that I could download for Odin, or recovery update. Odin simply failed every time. Recovery update always said signature match fail on every rom file. I must have tried 6 different rom files including one that is claimed to be the ME7 newest update untouched.

All methods completely failed.

I have rooted for years, installed countless ROM files on all my phones and this is the first I have bricked. I am not anything more than a reader that follow directions when it comes to this stuff, but have always been able to fix any problems until this one.

I have read threads on unbricking until I am sick of reading and trying. I guess its time to throw in the towel.

Thanks for updating the directions so nobody else does the stupid that I did. :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Did you try to use adb at all? Where does odin fail at? You can try three suggestions I have, but first install android-sdk tools and make sure adb is working.

1. Connect your phone to your pc via usb and run the attached adb_system_fix.bat file found in the the Samsung_Tools folder ive uploaded here while your phone is attempting to boot.

2. Boot to recovery and try the to use adb/ab sideload there and enter the following

adb shell su -c "mount -o remount rw /system"
adb shell chmod 755 /system

3.(last resort, try any other suggestion first!)

Download the VRUEMJ7 stock odin tar from here and extract the .pit file from within (temporarily rename the tar.md5 to tar to extract) then boot to download mode and open Odin 3.09 and select the pit file in the pit slot (also check repartition) and the odin tar in AP. Hit start
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dimitrisg:
Wow! Ok, sounds promising. Will do so now. I will post again with results.

Thanks!:fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Can you give me some direction on how to perform the adb operation. I am able to boot to recovery, I have adb installed and know how to access it from CMD window. But not sure how to send commands to phone.

Can you help a little more?

I tried method 1 but it did nothing. What I did was starting the bat file and then booted phone. It just kept buzzing over and over like a fast bootloop.

Going to try method 2 but a little lost.

Please help a little more?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Alright open a cmd prompt as admin. Then type:

adb devices

It should say something

Then type

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system
adb reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dimitrisg:
Well as expected it failed. Anything I type in and enter I get "error: closed"

It is a lost cause I am afraid.

I am considering method 3 and can follow most of the instructions, but the last instruction is where I lose you. It says "..and the Odin file in the AP". is that supposed to be PDA?

After this I wont bug you anymore since it is obviously a lost cause.

Thanks for everything.

Will this trigger any part of verizons security? will the system know if something was flashed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Your not helping yourself. I said structure as in path, you dont rename with slashes. It means you first open the "mnt" folder then open the "extSdCard" folder then put the unzipped "MJ7_tether_unlock" folder inside the "extSdCard" folder. The structure is now equivalent to "/mnt/extSdCard/MJ7_tether_unlock/" but honestly it might be over your head if I had to explain that, no offense, just saying.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swc2001:
I just completed this hack it worked perfectly! I had been using Foxfi with no hack..... unfortunately it started asking to configure the hotspot and would kill the tether unless you pushed the home button during the check...... so since that became an annoying thing to deal with I decided to use this Hack...... it made the stock hot spot work perfect as well as made foxfi work again with out it checking for your credentials.... WIN WIN in my book! Thanks to all who worked on this!

I think Knox is keeping me from the tether install...

I've followed the instructions on this thread to the best of my ability but I can't seem to get the phone to reboot after running the commands in terminal emulator. (MK2, First method) The commands are acknowledged, and it says "pushing tether to phone, then rebooting" but it just stays there and doesn't reboot. I tried to manually reboot it, but that didn't work.

I'm rooted, and Safestrapped. I've enabled USB debugging, I've checked Install from unknown sources, unchecked Verify Apps. The only thing I can think of that might be strange is I'm not sure how to "freeze" the KNOX apps. If freeze means "turn off" in application manager, the option is not available for the Knox apps.

What am I doing wrong? :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
If you have Safestrap then just download the flashable zip for MK2. It's at the top of the OP and can also be found in my tether unlock thread in themes and apps.

If however you insist on using the script then try typing the following before running the script:

su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bulvine420:
Flash it in recovery after freezing knox in titanium backup app just look in app list while in titanium app list for anything saying knox. Freeze dont delete
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
What file did you download? If you flashed the zip in recovery then you probably used the right file, and if so could you take a screenshot like the one attached and post it?

THANKS GUYS! And for the quick response too!

I froze all the appropriate apps with Titanium, and then just flashed the zip file, rebooted, tethered and toggled!

I'm really just a semi-experienced noob at the end of the day. So I try to do the command prompt stuff every now and then to learn a bit, but god bless those zip files and the recoveries and strapped workaround that ll these talented devs come up with. I went from a Soft bricked phone earlier this afternoon (because I tried installing TWRP through JRummy's toolbox on this newer build without doing enough reading), to a freshly rooted, MK2 with wireless tether enabled. Yay! :good: :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
No problem. Well this is to be expected because I only unlocked the toggles in the flashable zips, I plan on making a script to add them in but I haven't got around to it yet. However, if you need/want the toggles now just download this zip and flash it with Safestrap and you will have all the toggles and tethering will remain enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thanassi44:
One question about the script... I couldn't get that command to work. It kept saying "that command does not exist" or something to that extent. Are all the spaces and punctuation correct? Computer languages are so intimidating to me. It's like looking at Chinese.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Its typed correctly :) I intentionally had you type that because I had a hunch you didn't have busybox installed. That command also works if you leave out busybox but you should install busybox for this and most things that require root to work smoothly.
