[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] djsplitimage:
I'm very hopeful that a resolution could be found, AOSP roms are my roms of choice for any device....but I do like using my Gear 2 Neo
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] neonymbus:
Yeah I can't stand being on touchwhiz, I really hope someone can figure this out, but the support doesn't seem to be to good for this device.

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] 1-2-Hak:
Yeah this suck latest gear update keeps crashing. Uninstalled and re-installed - factory reset watch!

Still doesnt resolve. Now I have a non linked no so smart watch.

Anyone got the old apk to put back on?

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] trainerKEN:
so... the Gear Manager updated last night and now I'm NOT getting any notification... I've reset the watch, and still nothing... any advice? (I'm on Note 3)
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] neonymbus:
OK so after all day of tinkering I finally got my g2n fully functioning on the new update with my note 2. So the only rom I could get it fully functional on is mean bean, which for a tw rom it isn't that bad. Did a full wipe, installed, set up and, then installed galaxy apps, then installed gear manager. It came up saprovider force close, so I uninstalled just that, then rebooted, then opened up gear manager and proceeded to set up my watch the way I like it. Think I had to do it twice, but I just kept uninstalling that saprovider and eventually it just worked. Svoice, weather, everything
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] neonymbus:
What about it isn't working? The gear manager app, the watch, notifications?

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] kdogguk:
Seems like a lot of people are having problems... The phone side gets FC's (mine is SAProviders) and messages aren't going to the watch. I found a way around it by using Hangouts. But also after the new update the watch battery is shocking. I used to get 6-7 days, but since the update I barely manage the day with minimal use.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

OK guys, we have a guy who has helped me with the problems after the update... Shocking battery, FC's and no notifications.

Grab the last working version of GM you had before the update, uninstall all GM from your phone and install the last working version with NO internet connection.

Then use xprivacy (xposed module) and block all GM from using internet.

So far iI have got my gear 2 neo back to full working order and no constant update reminders on GM.

(Thanks to labellord for this from gear 2 forum)
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] neonymbus:
So has anyone figured out a way to make it work with AOSP roms
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Danh2009:
I too am faced with the SAproviders errors and getting no notifications but gmail, i am currently downloading my stock rom and putting everything back to stock to see if its a Samsung "custom rom prevention" issue.

i have tried older versions of the gear manager software but it keeps telling me that it cant connect to the watch.

my watch doesnt even last a day now :-/

ill post what i find tonight.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] neonymbus:
Go to app manager and uninstall saproviders it will reinstall itself. Sometimes I have to do it twice maybe with a reboot here and there but it always comes out working.

Sent from my WO3 SlimKat powered Note II
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Danh2009:
too late!

I have reverted back to stock on my devices, all is working ok.

I probably will put a custom rom back on over the weekend as I cant stand the slow-bloaty rom!

Ill look back at it then, this is the 3rd time this week I have wiped/flashed and re-set-up my device because of this issue!!
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] alan168:
I uninstalled all software about gear, then reinstalled gear manage, it became Ok.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] kc2kzz:
I'm getting notifications. Some work and some don't. Gmail and hangouts work, but pushover for one does not notify me, however if I look in notifications on the watch, it is there.

Update: I followed the instructions above (installed xprivacy, installed the older host manager in airplane mode, then restricted it inxprivacy). Everything is back to working like before.

Thanks Samsung.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Quentin.Sheley:
Anyone having an issue with not being able to install apps to your watch with this issue. My issue is the on going saprovider. The apps I'm having an issue with are Yotta watch, The Weather Channel, and Smart IR Remote. I have been able to install other watch faces and also multi watch to my gear 2 neo. I'm on the galaxy s4 with Hyper drive 18.1 and Gear 2 Neo stock.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Menchelke:
I wanted to add. I just got my Gear 2 neo a few days ago, and I have a Galaxy S4 running hyperdrive 17... I got the saproviders force close spamming my phone. I upgraded to Hyperdrive 18.1 and the problem still persists.

Is the fix, to download an older version of gear manager?

Or to reset the Gear 2 Neo back to stock? When I first turned it on, it did download some sort of update.

So far, to keep it working I keep uninstalling saproviders, and I installed a notification app.

Hoping in 10 days when I order my Note 4, this will be a none issue.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Kwbmm:
I'm having the same issue and using ImperiumRom v.12

Also, I noticed that this issues causes some serious battery drain... And SVoice isn't working (which makes the gear quite useless):mad:
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Menchelke:
Ahh yes, the Svoice issue. My SVoice isn't working either.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] o1e:
same here...

extrem battery drain and SVoice not working :/
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Kwbmm:
I still have to understand what caused it.. Update? Custom rom?

Because it worked once...
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] o1e:
i guess it's not the custom rom but the latest gear manager update...

i noticed that without bt "on" the battery wont drain... as soon as I turn bt on battery consumption is at 2-3% per 15min :eek:

so maybe they messed up something with the bt communication with the last update

i think that's why SVoice wont work and battery drains fast
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] LUCA LUCA:
Hello

Does anyone know why the alarm notification doesnt work on the gear?

It use to work, setup the alarm on the phone and the gear would notify you.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Kwbmm:
I think that as long as saproviders keeps crashing many thing won't work. My calendar isn't working either when it was before having saproviders crashing.. So we can only hope for a fix..
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Menchelke:
I am not quite sure what fixed this. But my SAPproviders was crashing late yesterday. I then noticed I didn't have safestrap installed, and I installed safestrap and I think it fixed the issue... Though it might not have fixed it.

Anyways, after installing safestrap and backing up my apps with Titanium, I upgraded to Hyperdrive 19.

Saproviders is no longer crashing. I can also use S voice on my watch. I opened the "my schedule app" and it just stated no events. I don't use the calendar much, but I would assume it would work now, since S Voice is working again.

Hopefully the rest of you with this issue get it working.

Once again, for me, Verizon Galaxy S4, with safestrap on nc2, running Hyperdrive 19.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Kwbmm:
As far as I can see, safestrap is a custom recovery for gs4 locked bootloaders, right? Unfortunately, my it gs4 is unlocked so I don't need it..
[Moto X Q&A] Note10.1Dude:
I'm looking for an unlocked stock Android experience and willing to pay for it, but not pay more than I have to. In an ideal world I would wait for the new Nexus, but I have to change phones in October, so I am starting some research and would like advice. I am going to put the phone on T-mobile for now, but could change to an ATT MVO if I have issues. Phone needs to be able to take a local SIM in europe/asia when I travel. I see 3 options:

1) New Moto X Pure (32 GB, would go for 64 if offered soon)

2) HTC M8 GPE

3) Nexus 5

I have a Moto G on my secondary line and like it, I like the Moto Maker options. Had the X come out with a micro SD slot and Qi charging I would have ordered it yesterday. I just read the AnandTech review, and it got me second-guessing the new X.

The M8 appears to be the best phone of the group, but is a bit larger and more expensive. I don't see it as much better than the new X for the extra $.

Nexus, probably the safe bet. It appears good enough, but not the best at anything. Best price. Certainly due for replacement... if I had another month to wait I would wait to see if its replacement is right around the corner.

Can you guys help me out. I know I came to a board stacked for the Moto X, but that is where I am leaning anyway. Any thoughts, experience, advice? Thanks in advance.
[Moto X Q&A] ZareliMan:
Nexus 5 is the best Imo (and im a moto fan).
[Moto X Q&A] :
I'm extremely happy with my M8...and I had the X and N5.

And watch AT&T... They like to not let you unlock your devices. I'm sure the new X is no different. ?
[Moto X Q&A] crawlgsx:
As an owner of all 3 (Current Moto X now, New Moto X ordered, had an M8 and a couple N5's) my vote goes to the 2014 Moto X Pure.

Reasons are quite simple for me. The Nexus 5 did not impress me. Not a fan of the screen colors or the feel of the device. Overall the device just felt lackluster. The HTC One M8 is beautiful, but the phone is just too tall and the power button on the top if inconvenient to say the least.

More importantly, the Motorola experience is just better. ActiveDisplay is so handy, its not a feature I really want to be without at this point. The shape of the Moto X suits me better, and the customization is just a great added bonus so that my phone doesn't have to look like everyone elses.
[Moto X Q&A] :
But the M8 has double tap to wake. Couldn't tell you when I last pushed my power button. ?
[Moto X Q&A] Note10.1Dude:
Thanks guys.

I think I have ruled out the M8, a little on size, but mostly because of the higher price. Funny, I probably would have paid the extra back when HTC was supporting a pro tour team, just to support the racing.

I like the Moto the best, but I'm just not sure it offers $150 more in value than a Nexus 5. Keep the discussion coming, every comment has been helpful.

I won't be touching an AT&T device, either nexus, pure, or GPE only for me.
[Moto X Q&A] devilsdouble:
My advice will be quite simple, wait for the Nexus 6.

I will NOT recommend the new Moto X, not at all. I am sad, disappointed and shocked with that phone. Sad because of it's utterly meaningless bumped up size, disappointed that even Motorola couldn't keep their forte to maintain that beautiful compactness of X 2013, and shocked because of that camera!

I personally am looking for a phone too. Won't get the M8 as it's aluminium, and of course for it's stupid camera. I like the E8, but where the heck is the development for that? Z3 Compact? Nah, 4.6", don't think I will go down with screen size, also unsure and doubtful about all glass build. Looks like the Galaxy Alpha might be a good choice, oh wait, it runs on TouchWiz. So I will wait for the Nexus 6 too, if it disappoints me, well, I will have no other option than going back to TouchWiz.

By the way, I think I can say that the new Moto X is worth of extra 150 USD than a Nexus 5. Why? Because of better build, better antenna and I still will pick Motorola's AMOLED over Nexus's washed out LCD IPS, and obviously Moto Display, Voice and all of them are there.

But is the Moto X 2014 worth of the asking price of 499 USD? Absolutely not.

Hey guys im setting up the google play rom and its giving me options for sound mods stock (use for google play edition) Project era or sound explosion but it dosnt give an option for boom sound
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] branmuffin17:
Viper4Android FX would be my suggestion...found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

I used stock BoomSound to start, then tried the Harman/Kardon mod. Boomsound really washed out the mids, and Harman/Kardon default was really tinny sounding in the highs, to me. I flashed Viper in TWRP, and it's been working great for months. You have a ton of options to tweak the sound however you want, but I'm running mostly stock with just a slight boost to bass. Mostly listen to music in my car, so I probably don't get the full details in the music, but the balance is great...way better than Boomsound, to my ears.

Check out this Anandtech writeup that includes Boomsound analysis: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8078/smartphone-audio-testing-htc-one-m8-and-samsung-galaxy-s5/2

Can't speak to the quality of Project Era or Sound Explosion, so I don't have any comparison opinions. Hope this helps!

There is no RUU for you version. What you could do is to s-off the phone, change CID and run another RUU like the 1.28.401.7 (international unbranded)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClintC:
How do I do that? I have no idea. Do you have a link on doing that?

Thanks,

Clint
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you will first need to unlock the bootloader (will wipe phone and void warranty if any left)

flash a custom recovery and root

use revone or moonshine to s-off

change CID using fastboot

and finally run the ruu

every steps already explained in this forum

or if you don't want to do all of this, you could simply flash a custom rom, much more easy if you don't have experience.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
That is normal since you unlocked your bootloader then relocked it. I found a TWRP backup 5.16.111.4 for your phone. You will have to unlock it and flash TWRP. You will need to make some directories on your phone if you don't already have a TWRP backup on your phone: TWRP >> BACKUPS >> <Your Serial No> >> Folder name that the file extracted

Once you get the folder on your phone, you can boot into recovery and on the main screen select restore. You should see the folder name there, just select it and follow the instructions.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClintC:

Clint
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
While in Recovery, choose Backup then backup your system. After it is finished reboot back to system. With your phone connected using your file manager you will see the TWRP directory. Expand it out and you should see the backup you just created. Put the nandroid folder that was extracted in the same sub directory as your backup. Once, that is done you can go back into TWRP and you should see the folder in the Restore.
