Hi everybody,

my htc tytn hangs abount 5-10 times a day. The only thing I can do when it happens is to detach the battery and reboot. This is quite annoying, especially when it happens as soon as you receive an sms and it get lost.

This usually happens when I do some "operation", like receving an sms, detach the battery charger or the usb cable, open an application.

Should I contact technical support and ask for a repair/replacement or it is better to try with a firmware upgrade?

My tytn has version 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0) of windows and ROM 1.18.258.2 (07/22/06), radio component 1.03.03.10, protocol version 32.34.7010.01H, extrom version 1.18.258.105 ...

Thanks in advance

what software have you installed on your device?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lukipela:
the most "intrusive" software I use is probably Wisbar Advance, but the problem persist even if I disable it. Other software installed includes:

Resco Explorer (w Today,Registry and FTP Add-in)

TomTom 6.0.10

RARLAB Pocket RAR

Sunnysoft Backup Manager

Spb GPRS Monitor

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brettatk:
Do you have .NET Compact Framework 2.0 installed on your device? Mine use to hang up all the time. I finally did a hard reset and restored my device to a date before I had intially installed it. Now my device might hang up once every few days or so at the most. Anyone else notice that .NET Compact Framework 2.0 caused problems on their device?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Nope, it's fine on mine and used by quite a few of my applications. But, often I believe it's not any one application but the particular combination of things you have installed and the way you have your device stup that's the problem. So someone may well find installing a certain application causes endless problems whereas another person has no problems.

Everyone who does not need active sync running all the time should ensure they have taken the steps outlined many times on this forum.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Hey guys,

For some reason my Gear dies in half a day and I can't work out why. I'm using Skin's modded Tizen ROM but have been doing so for months and this has just started to happen.

- I have no apps installed;

- I don't have auto on when I raise my wrist, although I've tried it with this on and makes no difference;

- I've reset the phone to factory settings. It was actually fine during the day. Put it in my drawer over night, woke up 7 hours later and it had gone from 75% to dead!

- Reset it AGAIN and it's still muffed!;

- Uninstalled the Gear s/w and reinstalled to no avail.

I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but it seemed to coincide with the orange coloured version of the Gear manager. Does anyone have the apk for the previous version where it was all white with a colourful top border please? Or failing that, have any idea what the hell my watch thinks it's up to? :)

Thanks!

EDIT

Solution

1. Deleted the Gear software (and checked for any remainders in the file manager...although personally I found none);

2. Hard reset the watch, just in case;

3. Installed Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 (courtesy of Brendo);

4. Paired and got it all working well. This alone sorted the battery life which was nice.

5. I let the software update automatically; (obviously bypassing the dodgy version)!

6. Boom! It works fine with the latest app!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Did you try resetting watch? Check link in my sig for older versions of gm
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Yep I've also reset the watch on two occasions. Still dying within 9 hours :( Cheers for the apk's though, I'll see if that makes any difference. Otherwise I may have to ditch Skin's ROM and try the official - see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Volvogia:
I am getting almost the same thing over the last few days. My Gear Manager updated to a newer version and I have had the issue ever since. Idk what about updating that on my phone would have to do with the Gears battery life but I have changed a few settings on my notifications to see if that is going to help. I also keep getting "saproviders has stopped" CONSTANTLY. Was popping up every 3 seconds and I could not do anything with my phone. Finally got into Titanium and froze that app and I have had no more issues with that on my phone but I don't think that is cause my Gear to have poor battery life would it? I may have to go back to a older version of Gear Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Similar thing for me with saproviders although it was happening because I had disabled Unified Daemon (EUR) process. Reenabled it and that went....although sometimes the UD(EUR) drains my phone battery and is really only used for weather updates.

As for the draining issue, I'm having a go with Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 and seeing if it makes any difference. So far it is, but I will report my findings back in 24hrs!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Volvogia:
That is exactly the version I downloaded also. Gonna have to figure out how to get it to stop wanting to auto update to the newer versions. Just gonna set my settings and not go back to gear manager for awhile. See if it makes a difference for my Gears battery life before I go looking at anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Okay that has fixed it, going back to Gear Manager 2.1.14071502! The watch has been on for 3.5 hours and is still at 100% rather than 55% as it was yesterday!!!

WTF Samsung?!?!

What the hell have they done with their latest Gear app? It must be causing some sort of wakelock on the watch itself.

Guess I'll wait for a month for newer releases.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noellenchris:
Good to know about the Gear Manager, I was gonna suggest a reset , but doing the reset via "recovery" , instead of selecting "download" like when using Odin, you select "recovery" and it resets also. I've done the reset that way in the past and it fixed my issues. I had looked all over the Tizen OS for battery stats with no luck. Maybe the Gear somehow stash's the stats or something on the phone instead...? Hmm, I'm gonna dig around in gear manager..

Chris
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Yea have a look Chris. Actually I did reset via the GM first time, the second time I did it via the hardware...as in hold power, keep tapping it and reset that way. Both ways made little unfortunately.

My watch was still on 97% after 8 hours of none use over night so I'm pretty sure it's GM. However, now it wants to update and I literally cannot stop it :( If I say no, it exits the app, if I say yes the obvious happens. How can I block it?

Also, just for fun I've let it run the update. I know the first version of the 'orange GM' had issues and Samsung updated that immediately. I'm speculating over whether that first cocked up version brought over an issue into the latest one. Thereby if I go from an even older version to the latest, the issue may disappear... as always, I'll keep posting results.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
after downgrading GM to previous version, my battery life also improved, after 9 hours of having it at work, taking some pics, sync to internet i had 70% left. gorgeous!

i will never ever press update again. each update only brings more bugs and no new functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Well now I want to potentially throw a curve ball...although we'll see by tomorrow. After downgrading to 2.1.14071502 then upgrading to the latest my gear has been sat idle for 2 hours and sits at 100% battery life.

If this works, it means the previous version of the latest software created some kind of bug and carried itself through to the latest revision. So - this *may* have sorted it. I'll have to keep an eye on it for now but it's looking promising.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mjrshark:
i did downgrade but it force app to upgrade or it will stop
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Well I've never double posted before in my life! Not sure how that happened - apologies :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Right it appears to be fixed (finally).

24 hours - 8% battery use - using the latest Gear software...GREAT!

Theory

The first version of the new batch of gear software had some weird bug causing a wakelock on the watch. Upgrading the app didn't remove it.

What I did

1. Deleted the Gear software (and checked for any remainders in the file manager...although personally I found none);

2. Hard reset the watch, just in case;

3. Installed Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 (courtesy of Brendo);

4. Paired and got it all working well. This alone sorted the battery life which was nice.

5. I let the software update automatically; (obviously bypassing the dodgy version)!

6. Boom! It works fine with the latest app! :D

All of that said, you may be able to skip steps 3-5 and directly install the latest version....but I tried that and for some reason I still has horrendous battery life.

I'm not sure why the steps above fixed it, but they did. So have a go if this is pi**ing you off as it may just work.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mjrshark:
@jonboyuk I've done what you did ,didnt work , even downloaded latest version 2.2.14092299 from @Brendo but still keeps the going to 2.2.14090599 and saprovider FC , i did clean data saprovider and uninstall it worked , but after restarting gear and re-connect it back as it was even uninstalling saprovider wont help anymore.

so now its draining battery so quick. and media control not working. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Volvogia:
I ran the same previous version of GM you did. I got GREAT battery life with it. Completely fixed my problem. Now I do have that stubborn update that keeps popping. This is what I do. I click GM app. Update popup comes up and says Cancel or Update. I click the update and when the DL starts, I hit the home button on my GS4 to minimize the app and then i hold the Home button to clear all apps which shuts down the GM app and kills the update. Then I go back to GM app and it does not ask me to update any more. It stays away until I reboot the phone normally. Temp fix i guess but Ill look into it more and see if there is a way to completely stop it.

I had this issue. I went into Titanium Backup and froze the SAProviders app. Stopped the popup because it was constantly popping up and was very annoying and could not use my phone at all. Frezzing the app solved the pop up but the bad battery life still stayed until i reverted back to a older version of the GM app like I said in the comment above this one. Still looking for a way to perm stop the update from popping up.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] djskipellis:
Downgrde to previous GM

Every time I try to go back it re-installs 599. Even if I stop it by holding down the home button and close all apps. I re-open GM and it goes right back to downloading additional software. Has anyone figured a way around this? My watch is dead in 6 hours the way it is now so it's basically useless...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lovicub:
first you need to uninstall new Gear Manager, then disable Samsung Apps (Settings->Apps), and then install older GM, you choose. That helped me to disable auto GM update from Samsung, what was very nervous... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Daved+:
Guys, I removed with Titanium all the Gear stuff and installed the 14071502 version without a problem. Freezing SAProviders stopped the update notification from showing up. But my Gear still uses around 10%/hour of battery :( Anything else I can try?

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cyberdelia:
I have also installed the 2.1.14071502 version. To prevent forcing to upgrade to 2.2, I just disabled Wifi and 3G.. so, it only installs the software of this version. When I got paired, I go to Gear Manager Setup and uncheck the Automatic Update .. so, I only have that version. For goprovider FC, I installed the version from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2758364 (goprovider-signed-20140529.apk )

And that's all! I have a working goprovider, with 2.1 Manager.... BUT, this version doesn't allow the notification from any app! So, I don't get notifications from WhatsApp, FB, skype.. none! So, do you have another later version (not 2.2)? or any other way to get Whatsapp,etc notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasW:
A belated thanks for this fix, I didn't even realize how fast my battery was draining (I charge my Gear every night) until it died during the afternoon after shooting a whole bunch of videos with it. It turns out I was draining at 7% an hour on the orange-iconed Gear Manager (renamed Samsung Gear) with just moderate use. Now I'm at an acceptable 2% on the older Gear Manager. As cyberdelia suggests, definitely turn off wifi and mobile data after you download v. 2.1.14071502 but before installing it, then uncheck Auto update in Gear Manager (Paired Device > [your Gear] > Software update). I seem to be getting notifications from non-stock apps as before, though I haven't heard from all of them.

Edit: strike that. I'm back to an even higher drain, 10% per hour. Yikes. I even wiped the Gear from the recovery screen and tried with the current version of Gear Manager, then wiped from recovery again and tried with the older version. Drain, drain, drain. For the life of me, I can't figure this out. At 10% an hour, this thing is virtually useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
It's to do with the version of saproviders the gear is using. You can install the latest gear manager and replace the saproviders from a version that didn't battery drain and that fixed it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasW:
Actually, it turns out my problem has nothing to do with saproviders or Gear Manager -- I experience the same drain when my Gear isn't even connected to my Note 4 (i.e., when Bluetooth is turned off). I thought that meant it was a problem in the Tizen version on my Gear, and tried different firmware versions, but then I suddenly discovered that the battery would drain after taking the Gear off the charger but without the Gear even being turned on. That signaled to me that it must be the battery, a new one of which I've ordered and whose delivery I'm currently awaiting.

EDIT: And problem solved with the replacement of the battery.

For the Wi-Fi but just go to your Wifi Settings -> Menu Button -> Advanced.. And change 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep'. to 'Never' or 'Only when plugged in'.

I've just played this game on Google Play Store. Fox and Hen is an excellent game for everyone. It's easy to play. Our mission in this game is only to help our little fox shoot and collect eggs as many as possible. There are 2 modes: Endless and Puzzle.

+ In Endless mode, we must shoot rapidly and correctly to get score. There are 6 levels in this mode with maximum of 8 types of eggs.

+ In Puzzle mode, it has 3 worlds with different levels for players. Our mission is to destroy all eggs on the screen. We do not need to shoot rapidly because these eggs only fall when number of shoot is over.

TRY TO ENJOY IT!!!

Hello, i got a replacement from my phone that had an issue, sadly new one got another issue which is call speaker :

Whenever the level is higher than #1 (even sometimes at this level..) there will be a terrible sound.

I don't know if this is called buzzing, cracking or distorsion.. Buzzing sounds better to me here.

I tried blowing with my mouth and aspirate with vaccum cleaner. No change.

Should i use air some computer air blowing cleaning aerosol? Thanks.

Hi guys

I bought an S4 i337M used but in really mint condition. The first thing I noticed is that USB Debugging isn't working good, sometimes it connects, sometimes the device says unathorized (but no message appeared on the phone), charging is working, also HDMI Out and connection in Download Mode, maybe I need a reflash of stock ROM? I'm in Linux and haven't such errors before (I had a S4 from Sprint two days and no problem)

Already rooted with towelroot method but I want to install CWM even if it voids my warranty (don't have much time left anyway) but when I try to install with Heimdall I get this error

ERROR: Failed to send file part packet!

In Odin, the process start but freezes (presumably is the same that happens with heimdall)

I have read a lot but can't find proper information, with the latest firmwares, can't we flash custom recovery using heimdall/odin? should I go for the Loki method? or safestrap? I don't know where to go from here, any advice is apreciated.

Thanks

For someone experiencing this: solved it by installing ROM Manager through Google Play, I installed non touch CWM first but then paid for touch version to help devs (in that step Knox Warranty Void is 0x0). I made a Nandroid and then installed CM 11 and it worked good. For my surprise Knox Warranty Void still shows 0x0 :D.
