[Samsung Gear Live] serikm:
Have the same problem with same symptoms :( . And compass and proximity sensor stop working also.

Did hard resets , deleted all apps from Google play but unfortunately nothing helps.

Found solution on forum.

Held the power button down for about 10 seconds in order to bring up the power menu. Instead the watch just rebooted itself and after that,all sensors started working again.
[Samsung Gear Live] straus1:
I stumbled onto the power down / power up last night as well. In my case a reset did not work, I think the capacitors needed to discharge.

I got way more engaged when I realized that the step counter wasn't working either, and I really liked the step counter.

So if you go into settings and power down the watch (dont reset it, that didn't seem to work) and then power it back up again a few seconds later, that seemed to do the trick.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiidbzxt:
Hello Xperia SP users, my Xperia SP after 6 months of being with me started to show a lot of scratches on the camera lens, I was fine with that for a while, but pictures were starting to look terrible or out of focus most of the time, so I tried to do something, here's what I did:

1) On one cotton swab, I applied a little toothpaste (I used regular Colgate) on one end of the cotton swab.

2) With circular movements, I rubbed the cotton swab with toothpaste on the lenses for 1 minute, you need to apply some force).

3) On the other end of the cotton swab, apply little alcohol (or any glass cleaner, I noticed better results with Windex).

4) With the end of the cotton swab with alcohol/Windex, clean the excess of toothpaste and rub it firmly as well for one minute.

5) Enjoy your almost new camera lens.

---

The Windex/alcohol is to remove the toothpaste and the and film that the camera lens have, which is usually the culprit of dirty/scratched lenses.

I hope it helps some Xperia users.

I attach some before and after pictures, I'm pretty sure you can tell which is which.

Chromecast works perfect on my 10.5, mine has never crashed and I stream tons of YouTube, vudu, and Netflix to two different chromecasts.

Your comment makes it sound like chromecast doesn't work on any tab s 10.5, which is not the truth because it works perfect on mine. I can't wait until they add the screen mirroring feature for the tab s and chromecast.

Have you tried Uninstalling and reinstalling the app? Or maybe rebooting your chromecast?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:

The issue is it doesn't work with Google Play apps. It works fine with Netflix. Try this test:

- Play a movie using Play Movies & TV (you can use the free Gravity Movie)

- Cast to move to chromecast

- While it is playing on the TV (through chromecast), pull down the notification drawer

Wow, you're right, I just did this test with play movies and play music and it did freeze my tablet. Well, I hope they get that fixed because I have 10 or so movies I've bought on Google play.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itchiee:
This issue is carried across most of the Samsung tablet platform (Note, Pros...etc) and its surprising it hasn't been addressed.

Netflix will work fine, the Avia app, but the Google based ones will error out the tablet if you pull the notification down while playing media.

More people need to report it so it can be fixed! :good:

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CliffyP:
I just got a Chromecast this week and was excited to play with it on my Tab S 10.5, but I've had the same systemui crashes after using the notification drawer while streaming. It's pretty annoying because it's near-impossible to get the system to respond as the crash notice comes up every few seconds while streaming to the Chromecast.

What I've found is that if I preempt the Chromecast streaming by initiating streaming from my phone or PC instead of the Tab then the crashing stops and I can then use the Tab again. I hope they fix this soon.

chromecast not working

I use chromecast with mg apple devices but just cant get it to work with my new samsung tablet.

Ive downloaded the app. But everytime i hit it it just takes me pack to the google store and then tries to do something which it cant find.

I believe all i have to do is launch the app but how do i do that?

Ive seen online that i should disable the auto network switch in the advanced wifi settings but i cant seem to find that either.

Why is it so easy with apple and such a drama with samsung :(

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
T805.

Almost everything I send to the TV via the chromecast, Web content, movies, audio is done without screen mirroring. I can't really think of situation when mirroring is necessary except for presentation.

When I have used it I use the native screen mirroring with the chromecast app. I've never had any issues.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tessier078:
here is a fix ;)

There is a work around. This is a Samsung Touchwiz bug and has nothing to do with the Chromecast. To fix the problem, install an app from Playstore "Super status bar". After installing the app, launch the app and turn on the app. This will replace the default notification bar. This will fix the systemui crash.

Hope it helps :D

[Google Chromecast] Cuzz1369:
Local cast from the play store is free and will do a much better job casting than mirroring will. There are some paid apps(all cast, avia) that will do it too. No data will ever be used when casting local content.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
A tiny amount of data will be used for the Chromecast app lookup, but it's not like the video content you're casting will go out and come back.

Guys. Any way to eliminate recent apps delay? After pressing the button it takes like 1 second to see some response. I assume that it can be somehow connected to long press option.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg420:
This delay happens on pretty much all android phones, mainly when you haven't opened the recent apps menu in a while. It needs time to cache thumbnails for all your recent apps. If you open it then close it, then open it again you'll notice there's less of a delay.

No way to eliminate that delay that i've seen.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg420:
It may be due to the g3 recents menu needing larger thumbnails than on aosp (to allow the resizing funtionality on the g3). Not sure if anything can be done at the moment, but back when i had a sgs3 some dev added an option to 'cache recents automatically' which really sped things up. Maybe we will see it on the g3 if development starts to take off.

[General Questions and Answers] fatso485:
Hello all

I have several questions that I haven’t been yet able to find answers to yet. I am new to all this and I would really appreciate it if you can help me answer them:

1. If MS Direct Push is free and can even be used on Nokia phones (mail for exchange) and other other platforms. Then why do many companies are still stuck with BlackBerry?

2. What are the advantages that BB has over direct push? And are they enough to convince many corporations to stick with BB

3. Are there any numbers that compares the data (gprs)usage between the two technologies. I read somewhere that the cost to get BB device connected is about %30 less than directpush. If that number is true, why?

4. Would someone refer me to good articles that explains how BB or direct push work.

5. Are there any articles that contain tips and tricks that would help get the data usage direct push to the bare minimum. GPRS here is just way too expensive (around $1.5 per meg)

6. In the interest of saving cost, Is it possible to get the exchange server to only push unread messages or even not push at all if I am connected to the exchange server using outlook from my desktop.

7. I read somewhere that microsoft pushmail is not true push like RIM’s BB, why? And should we care if it isn’t. Is there an advantage of having “real” push solution.

8. Which uses less data and better battery life: enabling push mail or auto-synching every 1 hour. I honesly couln’t care less about push if its going to end up costing much more than normal.

9. My friend (uses BB and direct push) says that BB is a little faster than direct push. Why? My understanding is that BB uses a Blackberry enterprise server BES server (connected to the exchange server) and some kind of e-mail relay server (connected to the BES and the phone) somewhere in the internet. So why is direct push a little slower even though there is no middleman (exchange server talks directly to the phone)

10. My friend also claims that BB proved to be more stable than direct push (many times stops receiving e-mails for no apparent reason) in his company. If that is true everywhere else, why? In principle, shouldn’t direct push be more stable\reliable as its design is simpler => less things are likely to go wrong.

11. can you have more than one account pushing to the same device on wm5

Thanks. Thats all I have for now will post more if I get more
[General Questions and Answers] levenum:
Hi, welcome to the forum!

Wow, that is a lot of questions for your first post:D

Let me try to answer some of that:

1) Push mail is not free. You need to install MS EXCHANGE 2003 with SP 2. Most companies that use BlackBerry already have dedicated expansive RIM servers so they don't want to invest in changing the infrastructure.

2) Don't really know the answer to this one, but here is an interesting article I ran in to a while ago.

3) Also not sure but I remember reading somewhere that without transfer of any mail MS PUSH takes about 12MB a month.

4) Here is a link that might be helpful.

5,6) Sorry do not know the answer to that.

7) It's true. You'll see after reading the article in the previous link that while it is not "true push" it is fast enough to appear as one. I've been using push mail for the last 4 month and noticed an interesting phenomenon: When my phone is next to my desktop at the office I often get new mail notification on the phone as much as 1min before the desktop outlook pics it up.

8) Auto sync each hour uses much less data and battery. That is because to have push mail MS sends about 400 bytes each 2 minutes over the connection to keep it alive.

9, 10) As I never used BlackBerry all I can say is that I never had late arrival or dropout in push in four month nor did anyone else in my company. Still MS products are known to be buggy.

11) No. You can only define one server and one account on it.

[General Questions and Answers] fatso485:
13. what are some of the improvments to direct push that we are expected

to see in the future (exchange 2007 and wm6)

14. i tried MS direct push on Nokia e61 and N80 using wifi (free+faster) and it seems to work just fine. why no wifi on wm5 push mail.

15. is it possible to automatically switch to wifi active synching (not push) when you then switch to pushmail over gprs if the phone gets dissconnected from wifi.

16. i have tried MS direct push and its working great but the data usage is too much. yesterday i logged 1.9 MB of gprs traffic(only pushmail working and i only recieved 12 simple text e-mails. i talked to the security people to varify that the https connection time-out is more than 15 min and they confirmed that it was set to 30 mins. i talked to exchange people and they confirmed that the heart rate signal was set to 8 mins. so what else can i check to see the root of the data-use and battery problem.
[General Questions and Answers] levenum:
Couple more answers:

13) No idea, but I wouldn't hold my breath for WM6. I think it's about a year - year and a half away (Crossbow should only be like WM5 SE).

14) M$ believes that push mail should always be connected. On most WM devices (including my Jamin) WiFi is turned off during standby, so push mail tries to force GPRS whenever possible. It will go through WiFi for a while if your device is on and you manually disconnect GPRS but it will not switch automatically to WiFi.

15) Starting with ActiveSync 4.0 MS removed WiFi sync option for 'security' reasons. I remember seeing an articles on setting up some kind of VPN or something to bypass this, but I don't remember the link and I am not sure it works past 4.1

16) I am not 100% sure but I think MS push ignores those settings and uses its own. Partially because it has to go through the cellular network and partially because its MS.
