[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete101:
ok so i rebooted a 2nd time (jeez im getting fed up of this) and did not load the sd card just incase i also decided to set up a brand new gmail account so that it does not sync my contacts from the other google account in case that was the issue.

so far so good. i also formatted the sd card did not transfer the comics over and all is good.. now i do not know whether it is indeed the comics or whether it's because of my contacts storage on the other google account i originally used.. and i dont really want to test it to find out..originally when i used the previous google account and did not add any comics it did not reboot once.. so what's weird is after the first factory reset where i did not format the sd card as soon as i left it in the sd slot it casued the reboot later no matter what i did.. how the hell is this thing so sensitive that it reboots just by having the sd card in..its like there's a file in there that as soon as u put the sd card in it causes a reboot.. remeber i removed all the comics from the sd card previously and the device and it kept rebooting inexplicably..

so right now i can't figure out if it's the fact i formatted the sd card and factory resetted it or whether it's because i use a new google account?

do any of you guys know how or why something as innocuous as comic books or remnants of it in the sd card is causing a reboot?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Given that the best way to troubleshoot technical issues is to approach things in a logical fashion it's important to isolate things one at a time. You can either do that by removing one thing at a time OR by starting fresh and adding things one at a time.

Just to explain my previous post . . . if someone asks the question at times like this whether or not it's a hardware issue the first thing I jump to is to yank the SD card, factory reset (personally I prefer a full wipe to stock using Kies and a factory image file) and then to NOT install anything on the device . . that right there is fresh out of the box experience with no external influences other than any updates to preinstalled applications. If a person has the same issues with that then there's likely a hardware issue. Sometimes I see people assuming that they're not installing software after initial setup when in fact they are when they opt into Google's automatic backup/restore feature during lyncing to their Gmail account during setup. Its rare but it happens and at that point they're not evaluating a stock out of box experience, obviously.

Back to your last post . . its possible that your SD card has a bad sector on it and the act of formatting it simply erased files that would otherwise be scanned by media server/index services which was causing the reboot. One way to rule that out would be to use a computer and try to do memory testing of the card.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodnok1:
It can be difficult to narrow these issues down, as said I would run bone stock with no sdcard for a few days not even adding a Google account or any updates and see what happens. Google updates have caused me a few issues on other devices when updating an app and needed reinstalled even to clean things up is why i suggested no updating anything. The system is not going to scan the sdcard or use data off it unless called upon to do so. Adding sdcard and if a problem still switch to another even.

Recently a friend had a card that would only read certain movie files and then if reloaded onto card wouldn't read it then. Card was found to be bad(well it works for some files anyways) didn't show bad sectors either.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete101:
thanks for the advice.

well guys the tablet hasn't rebooted since meaning it must have been something in the comics which as soon as you add it to sd card or device storage and even if you remove all it's contents still leaves a lasting effect unless i format the sd card and factory reset.. i hate factory reseting it's such hassle going one by one spending days trying bit by bit when it really should just work out of the box with no problem.. however this prob isnt a samsung fault it's a rogue file or something in my comics folder which i cant figure out what it is?

do you know anyway i can scan the comics folder which is now on my laptop so i can fix it for any errors?

i bought this tablet specifically for reading comics and now i can't haha otherwise it'll reboot like crazy.. yes i know it's not the tablets fault it's my comics fold3er of scans where i cant identify the thing which is casuing conflict.. would checkdisk work?

im just fed up because i returned my original black wasted loads of petrol going round tryna find the same colour elsewhere ended up with white returned that and had to travel other part of town for the last black one and in process it's ended up costing me an extra 15 pounds total to get it as i lost the cashback i got buying the original and returning it plus the petrol plus also by returning i lost a goodwill refund.

anyway on plus side this one has less backlight bleed so pleased with that however the screen flickering issue concerned me which the other 2 did not have.. i've updated the firmware so no more flickering during video playback however i dont use high brightness so hard to say.. i do see random flickers from time to time but i think it may be slight glitches so bit paranoid.

anyway what is the best way to scan my comics folder in windows to identify bad sectors or anything corrupt that would cause the note pro to reboot?

i dont want to put comics back on or even read from a separate sd card as the evidence shows it'll reboot again unless i get to the root cause.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Am working on a project where i have to connect a webcam to my phone via usb , but that needs my phone to support V4L2 .

is there a way to customize my phone kernel without using a costume ROM ??

or if i can check if my phone supports the V4L2 or not ?
[LG Optimus L90] futhamucka:
I just got a used LG L90 to see if I could get it running, so far I can't.

When I turn it on it displays the LG logo for a few seconds then flashes to a green screen that says "Updating software (2/2)" for a fraction of a second before showing a black screen with the following white text:

I searched around and found that this phone had a system update that didn't complete correctly and now is stuck like this. I have no idea how to fix it though. I tried the "Flash Stock KDZ Offline LG L90" process, which was apparently successful but it didn't change what is happening.

Notes:

* If I restart with power+volume down it goes to the factory data reset page, but when I select yes it just does the reset, so no recovery is installed.

* If I hold volume up and plug in USB I can get to the software upgrade screen, that's how I did the KDZ flash. Can I do anything from that screen?

Please let me know, or point me in the direction of useful posts. I haven't done anything like this in a couple of years, so I'm a little out of the loop on most things.
[LG Optimus L90] futhamucka:
Another Note:

On the Firmware Update screen there's a box at the bottom that says:

Not sure if that will help any with the diagnosis. I've been trying to get ADB to connect but I can't get it to see the device. (Running adb with the

adb devices

command and it doesn't show anything).
[LG Optimus L90] kprsnt:
can anyone had solution to this............??

My phone also struck at same mode.....

fake fota test error
[LG Optimus L90] futhamucka:
I had no responses to this in any of the forums I posted in. I tried everything I could think of and eventually just contacted LG support. They took the phone in and yesterday I got it back. Looks like they switched it out for a new one, and the problem is obviously solved.

Not a very XDA solution, but an effective one nevertheless.
[LG Optimus L90] kprsnt:
Yaa.

I contacted LG too .

they wanna replace motherboard..

I think I am missing something...??

because, when I flashed new KDZ it again boots into the same ..

I am trying to get adb access,

If I got the access I can remove laf.img so i can enter into fastboot mode. where I can flash rom/ recovery

otherwise wiping cache and fota partition might work...

still doing some experiments..

But in G2 forums,

one member mentioned that it can't solved until u go to LG service..

but I saw some guides in G2 to unbrick ..

I'll try....
[LG Optimus L90] futhamucka:
The notes from the repair said something about a "bad language" and that they replaced the motherboard.

It's definitely a new phone though, there were scuffs on the corners of the one I sent in that are not there now, it's scratch free!

[Samsung Gear S] ingenious247:
After 2 days I can say with conviction that the Gear S is a worthy investment for the money.

A little research and I've got it all set up to my needs.

- Getting Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, & text messages, all with the ability to reply

- Getting my Google Now alerts (traffic, weather, etc)

- Streaming Milk Music as standalone

- Opera Mini browser enables me to check/reply/send Gmail, browse/interact with Facebook, Google Search, etc

- Enabled continuous swipe input in the stock keyboard in settings

- Changed my voice-wake to "OK Google"

- Battery easily lasts me almost 2 days entire day with moderate use

I can't think of a single thing that I am disappointed about. And that's saying a lot as I had high expectations.

If you're on the edge of buying this, I say go all in. Speaking of which, I'm on the Edge as well. T-Mobile

I think the GS is the most amazing piece of personal tech I have ever come across (IT technician by profession).

I used to carry two phones, one personal and one work, which was a pain. Now I carry a Note 4 as my personal and the GS as my work phone. I run the GS in remote connect mode during the week so it acts as a stand alone number, then on weekends I run it in Bluetooth mode as a companion to my Note (I don't take work calls on the w/e). My exchange account syncs mail, contacts, appointments, etc across all my devices. Emailing, appointments, adding contacts, etc I do on my Note which syncs with the GS. Business calls/msgs I take on the GS and private calls/msgs on the Note.

This solves all my problems and works fantastically.

The GS is incredibly versatile and that may be it's biggest fault - too complex for the average user. Just read many of the posts on here and it is clear that people have no idea about it's features and functionality.

Issues with double alerts

I'm having some issue getting what looks like a duplicate for email alerts.

GNE Notifications in Gear Manager = ON

Email Notifications in GNE = ON

Email Notifications in Gear Manager = OFF

I get the email alert 1x with the reply arrows, then again with an "open on Android" at the bottom. Not sure where I'm failing the process. Very excited to get this sussed, this may keep the Gear S in my hands, was getting pretty discouraged!

Thanks for the help.

So--I also have a new s6 edge and gear s that I just got today and I cannot for the life of me find opera mini. How do you get it/set it up. Don't see it in gear app store.

Help? :)
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
Congrats to the Gear S and the S6 Edge. May your battery last a long time! :)

I found Opera in the Samsung app store, that I accessed through Gear Manager. From within Gear Mgr, once connected to your Gear S, you can install all the gear apps you want (not that there are that many). Hope this helps.
[Samsung Gear S] jonofpdx:
Hmmm...

So, what did you search for in the app store? Because I searched for "browser" and "Opera" with no luck.

Is it possible they took it out of the store in the last couple days?
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
I just checked and you are right: Samsung seem to have removed the app, and I can't even find the other browser I saw in there.

It used to be one of the very first apps popping up in the store.

I'm sure we can share the Opera file with you, I just have no clue how it's done.

Damn--looks like I missed it by a matter of DAYS...

Well, at least I know I'm not crazy now. Thanks guys!

Does anyone know a way of manual installing the app into the watch?

Umm...how do I install it?
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
I just checked again. I had my Gear 1 connected to my phone, not my Gear S, so I guess maybe that's why I could not find the Opera nor Davinci browser. Once I connected my Gear S, I could see both again.

I never realized I only saw the apps for whatever Gear was connected. Learned something new today.

ETA: Now I can't see the Nike app neither in my purchase history nor in the Gear app store. I just wanted ro check if there is an update. Wonder what is going on?

[Samsung Gear 2] JoeyDuran:
Hey what's up guys. I saw today that android wear has a way to pay for your drinks at Starbucks with your watch. I was seeing if we have any good devs out here that can make this possible for our gear 2?

I can't find any app that I can use a widget with wearable Widgets so that's out of the question :c....

Anybody?

Edit: I've found a solution.

Open your Starbucks card in the Coffee Card app found in the play store. (has a little android holding a cup)

Screen shot the barcode, crop it to just show the barcode.

Then using wearable Widgets app for Gear 2, select picture frame widget and select your cropped bar code. Now you can scan that at the checkout :good: ?
[Samsung Gear 2] rEVOLVE:
Yes, someone figured out the screenshot the barcode trick quite a while ago, but I never tried using Wearable Widgets to show it. Seemed faster for me to just open the gallery app as I made the barcode the very first pic. Wearable Widgets always had a bit of lag to get to my widgets so I save that for other items.
[Samsung Gear 2] JoeyDuran:
Wearable Widgets seems to be running smooth now. I'm just a click away to get to it
[Samsung Gear 2] rEVOLVE:
Yes I see that they added some improvements recently. The problem is the more widgets you add for it to sync, the more lag and overhead is introduced. I'd rather reserve that for the dashboard widget I made and my home automation widgets. That way there's less taps/swipes to get to my starbucks code - as right now it takes me a swipe and 2 quick taps to show the code and with my Wearable Widgets setup, it would take me a swipe and 3 at the minimum.
[Samsung Gear 2] JoeyDuran:
I have mine set as a 3rd widget on my watch. I have the wearable Widgets clock face. So I have the cLock widget as my watch face, a calendar on the second and my code on the 3rd.

So I turn on the watch and tap it twice to get to mine.

I'm hoping the development can port over the feature he has for Android wear, where you just tap the side of the watch instead of touching the screen to change the widget.
[Samsung Gear 2] rEVOLVE:
Ah, I should investigate the watch face they have then. It's just so hard to give up Multi-Watch with its infinite customization and 3x3 launcher.
[Samsung Gear 2] JoeyDuran:
I'll have to check that multi watch one out myself
[Samsung Gear 2] telium:
This thread is pretty old, but based on another thread https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/tried-starbucks-app-t3669596 this is still an issue for Samsung Gear/Galaxy watches. There is a starbucks app now for Samsung - see the thread above.

What concerns me is that it took 4 years for an app!?! I'm wondering how small the Samsung market share must be when major brands don't even bother release an app for Samsung. (Android + Apple have had this a long time).

Since Tizen is Linux based, maybe someone will add a compatibility layer to allow Wear apps to run on Tizen. They will be slower, but at least there will be useful apps
