[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpl:
Hallo all! I really HOPE someone might help me with a really annoying issue:

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 Black-Edition (Modelnumber: GT-I9505). From day one I rooted the phone

(CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5)

but still use the samsung stock Rom. My Android version is 4.4.2 and I had the genuine firmware-version I9505XXUGNF1 from the Samsung homepage (sammobile).

.. Everything has been working perfectly for about a month, but then suddendly my phone startet to turn off and on again randomly by itself. Note that the turning on is much quicker then the regular booting-up (after I properly shut the system down) and that the autonomious turning on does not require the PIN-code.

I tried to fix this problem by:

- removing the external Memory-Card,

- removing the sim-card,

- deinstalling busybox,

- completly whiping the system (via TeamWin recovery) and installing EVERYTHING from scrach (no Backup-restoring) --> tried this four times!,

- installing the latest firmware-version I9505XXUGNG2,

- changing the battery,

- COMPLETLY canging the device: (installing EVERYTHING from scrach (no Backup-restoring) on a completly new device (new Galaxy S4 Black-Edition)) --> same problem!

--> NOTHING WORKED OUT!!!! So I'm REALLY annoyed about that!

Note, that after a complete restoring of the system, the phone works perfectly for some days - maybe 4-3 - and then the turning-off-and-on terror returns.

I put a screenshot of my battery-trajectory as an attachment. You can see two vertical lines indicating that the phone has turned itself off for a short ammount of time.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the cause for that issue? Is there anyone sharing the same problem? What could I try to solve that problem? Is there mayby a taskmanager-app logging systemerrors, so I could check, what happened before the turning off?

I'm VERY thankful for any sort of help!

Hi Mate,

Not saying this is your problem but i seen some people having issues with the power button , symptoms are similar to your random reboots like in constant reset....check the power button see if is stock and easy way to check is try to go to recovery without pressing the power button.....if is really stuck or short out you should be able to go to recovery without ( for a short time) ....that will prove that the problem is coming from there...

Of course if is very sporadic wait until is happening for testing ..

I had the same problem before because I disabled knox using supersu. What I did was delete all knox related apps and everything is good.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkerTimes:
Many users had this problems with Knox as well. Try to uninstall everything relating to Knox, maybe it will work ;)

Delete all knox related apps via "titanum backup" and you are good to go! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpl:
Well.. What can I say? Thank you SOOOO MUCH!! The problem is solved! Indeed, deleting all Knox-Entries via Titanium Bakup really solved the problem. Now, everything is fine and the system runs smoothly. Again, thank you very much!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcelocohenarg:
Hi PIMPL

am curious about this because today my S4 started to do random shuts off. So your phone never showed the problem again after uninstalling all the Knox stuff? I have an I9500 Android 4.4.2; everything stock, non rooted.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpl:
Indeed, I have never had a problem again, since I deleted the Knox-stuff. Just do it and the problem will be solved!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkerTimes:
It's right uninstall Knox and be happy ;)

I have the same issue at the moment - Phone is completely standard (Not rooted). All has been good until the morning of the 30th August when there was a new firmware update applied. I had already had the Kit Kat update earlier in August and the phone had been working with no issue, since this 220Mb odd 'patch' the phone will just randomly reboot, I say random but it just seems after it has been idle (Screen off) for a while on unlocking I can start an app (pretty much anything) and about 5 seconds later the phone will reboot. As the OP mentioned it is a faster than normal reboot and it doesn't play the normal start up sound either.

I am not sure what the update did, it mentioned ironically that it was fixing stability issues!!! - Is there a way without rooting the phone to roll back the firmware to before the patch?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plutchok:
Factory reset worked too

I have been struggling with a similar problem on my GT-I9505 since receiving a system update on May 30, 2014 -- random reboots many times a day, plus fairly reliable reboots about 30-40 seconds into any received phone call. I tried cleaning caches, uninstalling recently installed apps and then other unneeded apps, installing new updates, and lots of other things. My last resort was rooting and removing Knox as suggested here. But first I tried a factory reset, and it worked! I've now gone several days without an unintentional reboot. It's a pain to have to restore backups and reinstall apps, but it was worth it. I hope this information is helpful to someone.

Issues on my CF auto-rooted GT i9505

My firmware is the stock I9505XXUGNG8-DBT and rooted with CF Auto-root.and Phill''s CWM.

1. When I wake up my phone by pushing the home button my first screen is frozen until I push the home button again for 2 or 3 seconds. Only since then I can use my apps.

2. By incomming phone calls my phone reboots and I lose contact, so they have to call me again, Then everything is well.

3.The time on my homescreen doesn''t synchronize until I push the home button for the second time waking up the phone .

I already used SSCF Xposed. That didn''t help.

Somebody the same issues. Or somebody who got some tips for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkerTimes:
Did you uninstall every Knox app?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idebutterpiep:
No do I have to?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkerTimes:
I guess this will help. Knox often causes this issues. Just uninstall everything relating to Knox with Titanium Backup
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0dewana:
I'm having the same problem as OP.

I've frozen all Knox related apps in Titanium Backup, but the problem persists. Do I need to fully delete the apps do you think? Is there a difference?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idebutterpiep:
I think I solved my problem: I deleted all Knox related items and when I rebooted my phone again it stucks on the Samsung logo. I installed the stock I9505XXUGNG8-DBT again with Odin. Installed CF Auto-root.and Phill''s CWM again. Installed Supersu again.

Now everything is working again without the frozen screen, time synchronizes and no booting by incoming phone call anymore.

I'm searching for a Verizon GS3 with an unlocked bootloader. Are all 4.1.2 versions unlocked? What baseband version am I looking for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
Technically all phones from the factory would be locked. But everything below android version 4.3 can be unlocked. So your options are:

1. A locked phone on a version of android less than 4.3.

2. A device that had beenpreviously unlocked and upgraded to 4.3 with a custom ROM.

4.4 is currently completely locked down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burghfan3:
So basically, if I can find one with 4.1.2, I can upgrade with the MOAR rom to 4.3, and still keep unlocked bootloader? It is based on ml1. I loved that rom with Sprint, and want it again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
If your bootloader currently unlocked, you could flash any custom rom and you should be fine, just don't ever flash stock 4.3 or 4.4. They will locked you down ....forever..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burghfan3:
Sweet. I have a guy checking his other stores for a 4.1.2. He thinks he has a few. I'm gonna trade my GS4 with kitkat straight up. That's how bad I want MOAR. I've been flashing roms with Sprint for over 4 years. This locked bootloader is a new beast to me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Or you could use third party service to unlock(roll back to 4.1.2) for $50.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] astonmartin214:
found downgrade service 24.95 + free shipping
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] poppers162:
Who provides the service and how do they do it?

Sent from my Unlocked SCH-I535 running whatever rom I've chosen for the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] astonmartin214:
found it on EBay
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I'm sorry but eBay people come and go, I'd trust mobiletechvideos over some fly by night place on eBay.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] astonmartin214:
aight well it's cool I feel why pay more for the same service & it's only 1 person who offers the S3 downgrade on Ebay like the Jtag a lot people on Ebay offer that but only 1 person offers the S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
While I certainly agree with you the higher one seems a lot more reliable

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burghfan3:
I contacted the guy on ebay. He downgrades the version of android, but can't unlock the bootloader. I figured the only reason to do this was to unlock it. What am I missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Then it's not a jtag service plain and simple

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] astonmartin214:
look there's no way to unlock the bootloader on kit kat when you downgrade the s3 to 4.1.2 the bootloader becomes unlockable then you can flash ROMS & custom recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
With the jtag service through mobiletechvideos they can revert you back to 4.1.2 and at that point you can unlock the bootloader

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burghfan3:
I emailed them, and am waiting for a response. If phone is downgraded to 4.1.2, and bootloader becomes unlockable, wouldn't it also be unlockable if downgraded by the other place? Forgive me, I spent my life with Sprint, and didn't have to deal with this stuff. Can android version be downgraded without changing the bootloader? Or can any bootloader be unlocked running 4.1.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
ask him/her what firmware the phone is on. That will tell you everything. ML1 is what you are looking for. That is the last firmware, we have that's compatible with unlocking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
ML1 is 4.3. That firmware is bootloader locked. You're looking for MB1 or MF1 4.1.1 or 4.1.2.

Wearable Widgets (beta) for Gear 2 is just out on the Samsung store. You can now use any mobile widget to show up on Gear 2 screen. The feature is really great and you can also control the widget from gear 2 like pass touch inputs to phone.

I have enabled zooper widget and use it to show time and weather and call tasker objects.

It is a bliss on Gear 2

Check it out.

[Samsung Gear 2] Assimilated1:
Awesome

This is a GREAT app!
[Samsung Gear 2] DataAndroid:
Awesome app! One of the most useful apps available. Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] dansafe:
SUPER ! ..Can I just add one widget?
[Samsung Gear 2] gdanonym:
Awesome. I installed it immediately. Off course for Tasker. I use Launch-X widget in which i create the shortcuts. But i find it to slow, especially when the phone is off.

I also used it to display my tasks, so i could read and fill in the items into another task app. Of the first section it was perfect. But when the screen of the watch is off and turned on again, the widget is reset for the first items. Not to the last scrolled position.
[Samsung Gear 2] leojab:
You can add only one widget per device..

I use zooper to add only my functions as a single widget.. Calendar, time , date , battery life and tasker icons :)
[Samsung Gear 2] gdanonym:
I can not open the widget on my watch anymore. It is saying "Unable to connect. Do you have Wearable Widgets on your phone?"

Already rebooted my watch AND my phone. Still the same.
[Samsung Gear 2] djbrotherson:
Uninstall then reinstall from Gear Manager.

Here's mine so far
[Samsung Gear 2] fcjr77:
Works great. Will you be able to add the ability to have more than one widget per device? It would be nice to be able to scroll through at least 4 or 5 of them. Thanks for the hard work.
[Samsung Gear 2] djbrotherson:
If you read the first post, you'd know the dev of this app isn't the OP. To answer your question though, the dev left this on G+

"Clarification for Gear 1 & 2 owners: Currently, the Wearable Widgets app has two editions, both with a significant limitation:*

• The one available through Google Play (including this beta group) does not support Gear 1 & 2 devices.

• The one you can download through Samsung's app store (including via the Gear Manager app) only supports a single widget at a time.

The reasons for this are complicated, but are generally due to a number of restrictions that Samsung has put in place. We are working to develop a solution to both of these issues, and will release it as soon as we can - but for now, this is how things stand, I'm afraid.

Thank you for your understanding, and your patience.﻿"
[Samsung Gear 2] RiverCity.45:
djbrotherson, would you mind identifying that widget in the photo? Actually looks useful.
[Samsung Gear 2] djbrotherson:
Using HD Widgets from the Play Store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets

My settings are 4 x 3 widget, Big Bar. Readjusted to the smallest size to accommodate the Gear 2 screen
[Samsung Gear 2] jewnersey:
Super psyched for this .. been looking for a way to use zooper. Thanks a million homes

Any way to set this as default for lift arm gesture?
[Samsung Gear 2] MRDOCA:
Cool app shame can't select the s5 weather widget with time etc. But cool app

Tapped on my Omega driven G900F
[Samsung Gear 2] dazkeirle:
Just change the setting for what is shown on wake to last app / screen.
[Samsung Gear 2] jewnersey:
That means I need to go to the wearable widgets app continually before I am 'done' doing whatever I'm doing
[Samsung Gear 2] RiverCity.45:
The developer has indicated they are working on the ability to make this a watch face. I am looking forward to that update.
[Samsung Gear 2] shawnide:
This just rocked my world... I don't know why I didn't think of that. Duh. Thank you.
[Samsung Gear 2] ramzitunisia:
Thank You

That's great, Thank You.
[Samsung Gear 2] rEVOLVE:
As I've been using it - I actually don't mind having it not be the main watchface. What I've done instead is make it accessible from one of the 9 shortcuts from the Multi-Watch "swipe-up" launcher panel. That way I can still have the customizable watchfaces of multi-watch, but when I want I can launch an info panel widget that has time, date, watch battery level, currently connected wifi SSID, current weather w/ 5-day forecast AND my next 3 calendar appointments. Using a customized Zooper widget for this. I've made a request to Zooper to allow adding Google tasks list items and the phone's volume state to a widget.
[Samsung Gear 2] Assimilated1:
Using Rain Alarm Pro

I like how this shows up on the Gear 2.
[Samsung Gear 2] Assimilated1:
I am really liking the 4x4 widget from HQ Widgets. I have time, weather AND toggles!

REQUEST - is there any way to have a set of widgets in the phone part of the app and be able to select them from the watch?
[Samsung Gear 2] jewnersey:
Any chance of getting multi widgets that you can swipe between?
[Samsung Gear 2] rEVOLVE:
On their Google+ community page, they mention that they are working on this now - this and the ability to make it the default watchface. The multi-widgets is the thing that is actually holding it up, it seems as they had to rebuild the app and this meant removing it from the store and recertifying the new version.

I'm hoping we get it soon, as I plan on using Multi-Watch for my main watchface and Wearable Widgets as one of the apps I launch from its shortcut launcher. From there, I've customized a quick-glance info dashboard, want to use my home automation widgets for Vera and TCP Lighting, evernote, Google Now widgets - all the stuff I'm missing on the watch still I can accomplish (I think) with this.

Can the Wearable Widgets devs answer this question - will the widgets being passed to the watch have access to the mic and speaker on our Gear 2's? What would be great is if the watch could use Google Now widget, Google Music Search widget, Evernote quick voice note widget, and be able to use the watch's mic for audio input.
[Samsung Gear 2] isd88:
i m not able to find out this app on the galaxy apps store, what s wrong with me?? i live in italy
[Samsung Gear 2] re-2007:
same here :cowboy:
[Samsung Gear 2] rEVOLVE:
No one can download it now - they had to pull the old app and resubmit a new version that includes the new functionality. We're still waiting for the new version to be released.
[Samsung Gear 2] daevoq:
is there possibility to take apps from other places while we waiting for looooong samsung approvation process?:rolleyes:
[Samsung Gear 2] sauliiin:
**** samsung!!! She will probably kill Tizen and i was just starting to like it!

Everyday the number of new apps on samsung store is decreasing!
[Samsung Gear 2] gdanonym:
Yes, less new apps.

But the olders apps get more developed and some are really pretty nice now.

Currently waiting for updates on wear notification and watcher (with hourly weather)
[Samsung Gear 2] sauliiin:
I like Tizen better than android wear, but woulb be happy if we have more apps!

Wear notifications looks nice and is going in the right way! Hope the developer keeps his great work!
[Samsung Gear 2] Raul69.atl:
It says do not use for gear 2.

Are u guys still installing this?

If u are, when it says download companion app which one do u guys get?

I don't see gear 2
[Samsung Gear 2] LiamS:
Sounds like a great widget, why is it taking samsung over a month to validate it now?

Shame its not available at the moment, tizen needs some integration to allow android wear apps to run on it. Theyre letting their audience down otherwise.
[Samsung Gear 2] leojab:
Yes, have to agree. One of the developers could develop a companion app which can integrate Android wear supporting apps to Tizen. Only thing being a separate app needs to be build for the gear though.
[Samsung Gear 2] smrsxn:
I am waiting eagerly for wearable widgets as well....

Hope it comes across quickly.
[Samsung Gear 2] re-2007:
wearable widgets now in samsung gear app :cowboy:
[Samsung Gear 2] smrsxn:
Ok..yes..installed it... but where's the companion apk for phone? Google play app says it will not work with gear. Samsung app store does not have apk either.

Can someone post apk?
[Samsung Gear 2] UncleBeer:
The Neo's not one of the options listed. Is it also supposed to work? Just says "connecting" forever...
[Samsung Gear 2] Raul69.atl:
That post is old, there is no app yet for gear 2 or companion app
[Samsung Gear 2] Rostenhollander:
actually, today the companion app appeared in the gear app store

edit,

only it doesnt work with the google play phone app, and the samsung galaxy store(phone, not gear) doesnt have the wearable widgets app yet
[Samsung Gear 2] LiamS:
Just downloaded we probably have to wait for a play store update on the existing app now
[Samsung Gear 2] LiamS:
Apps live now!

Im gutted I cant use it with my pipboy watch face though
[Samsung Gear 2] LiamS:
Bought the app update to add multiple, not sure why but I dont get an app icon for this on my watch and when I try to change screen I have to flick really fast then flick back? Why dont you have the widgets change from a swipe UP which isnt set for anything at the moment?

Oh and when I do get onto a new widget screen it just tells me its loading and never loads!

This isnt a complaint probably needs compatibility fix seeing as its just been reuploaded.
[Samsung Gear 2] gyuri81:
very good this program.

but why so slow updated? orange line above .... updated updated

normally not updated the hours, minutes delayed ...
[Samsung Gear 2] LiamS:
Noticed a minute delay aswell, even after updating
[Samsung Gear 2] gyuri81:
what the updated approximately 2-3 seconds to power up ??? (orange line above)
[Samsung Gear 2] LiamS:
Even after the orange line it doesnt update (this was with the clock set to refresh every 30 seconds) I was stuck on minutes like 12:19 when it was infact 12:38

[Samsung Gear 2] JoeyDuran:
At first I thought it was a waste of $2.13....

Now I think it's the best thing on gear 2. Please work on adding an option for a transparent background though. I don't like the plain black background.
[Samsung Gear 2] leojab:
now, it is not working for me on Note 3 lollipop. Hope they fix this soon.

Otherwise a great app.
[Samsung Gear 2] leojab:
Great news !!! Their new update fixes lots of issues and now working great on Lollipop
[Samsung Gear 2] recDNA:
I love the idea of transparent background!
[Samsung Gear 2] recDNA:
Anybody knowhat the widget ithat is displayed on the wearable widget app in the galaxy store?
[Samsung Gear 2] recDNA:
I emailed the developer today about transparency. He said there IS transparency. If you look under settings then tizen settings there is a transparent background setting. I chose it. I then tried at least 10 different transparent widgets and all came out with black backgrounds. Developer tried one I use - beweather, and said transparency works fine. Can anybody help me out? I cannot get it to work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtl999:
Hello

I have a SM-N900W8 on Telus I bought from them.

I was running 4.3 MJ1 since the day I bought it and it was OK, a few crashes or glitches here and there and data was fine.

I recently upgraded to 4.4 using the NA2 bootloader and flashed the NA2 stock ROM. A few days after however the APN's disappeared and were editable. I tried adding the APN from my mothers Galaxy S4 running 4.2.2 but no dice, Checked CSC version on the Note and it was at MJ1 like when I flashed 4.4 on it. Next thing I did was I flashed back to stock NA2 with NB7 CSC and then installed X-Note and added a Telus CSC to the package. Yesterday the APN's disappeared. I checked the current CSC version with the dialer and it was at TLS like normal. I also did a Nandroid from earlier and the APN's were there, but I restored back to yesterdays Nandroid that I created because it had all my current app's.

Anyone have this problem? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtl999:
Alright. I discovered if you press the "Menu" key in the APN menu there is a function to reset settings to default. When I use this function other providers APN's showed up. I rebooted and it showed only the correct Telus APN's already selected. I wonder why it gets deleted in the first place, should I be concerned?
[LG Optimus G (International)] furkandeger:
After a while of research, and fiddling with the app, I was able to find a solution.

- Download QuickShortcutMaker from Google Play

- Find com.android.settings.lge.EmotionalLEDEffect activity and open it.

- Tick Downloaded Apps option at the end of the list and that's all!
