Yes, exact problem I have. I also realized my sd card all of a sudden became "read only" and can't place anything on it (no pics/vids/etc). Read these forums and it's recommended to remove everything from sd card and format it again.,then place everything back.,.,gonna try it when I get home

You can also search the net for .apk's or go here:

Are you trying to download via WiFi or data, there may be issues there.

Im on data right now , im about to check if it works with wifi.
Could it maybe be becouse I updated my android market to the new one but it had errors and always closed so I put the firmware back on new now its the old one again?

I think it may be a connection problem. If it works with WiFi and not DATA, then we know it's a DATA problem...

well ... it still doesnt work ill do another reinstallation with another google email then we'll see if it works but that for the help

Mine automatically updated itself while I was out and about just now.
I am on DHD build and have the accounts & sync background data enabled all the time.

Snap N Go 2.3.3

Since the installation of android 2.3.3 on my I9000
Snap N Go Fails..
it connects with my PC then the camera goes on
it stays on for couple sec then the application closes
without a FC warning

Is Snap and Go compatible with BETA 2.3 ???
jje

i dont know...mate
maybe it is the camera bug or something that makes it close

I can also confirm that I get the exact same reaction since 2.3.3 upgrade for SGS. (Upgrade from cell phone carrier). Its a big shame because Snap N Go was/is a terrific app. Have read on net that others have same problem. Also have lost daily briefing app.
Please HELP!

Yes I notice it's not there anymore too.

Same issue on the same configuration, you are not alone !

same problem
come on developer type people
this is a briliant, just briliant app... and i want it back
won't anyone help?

what's about solution?

Wow tried it and this happens to me too.
Lame Snap N Go was a great easy way to transfer files between computers without the hassle of using a samba share. (It even worked without a wifi network around, just connect the laptop to mobile AP.)
I wonder if we can get a log that will give insight into the problem?

It just doesn't work on Gingerbread apparently..
Also, samsung's taken it off of "Samsung Apps"..
Such an amazing app, its so less known!
Can't any developer help here? Please!
"apk" and the "desktop-application" file are both still available on the net,
and i strongly believe its just a minor bug(with the new camera) that's the problem, as the app runs fine(connects with desktop client and all) till the camera tries to load up

SM-G7109 bought in China without Google Services
Hi. I'm new here.
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 SM-G7109 in China (China Telecom).
To my surprise, it doesn't have any Google services pre-installed
I went to the shop and the staff somehow installed Gmail on it. So I have all the contacts now
The staff also installed Play Store but it doesn't work. It doesn't crash but it responses as if there's no connection
I also noticed that Calendar won't sync no matter how many times I try to sync manually.
It gives an error message, "unfortunately calendar has stopped".
Gmail seems to be syncing somehow but not so often...
If possible, I want all the Google services work normally.
I searched on the internet but can't find a good solution.
Will the method using the files like "com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed.apk" work for my device?
If you have any advice, I would really appreciate it.

Network Disconnecting Problem
Hi
I brought a Grand 2 last month in the showroom I did not check it with two sims I had put only one sim. Now when I am putting in the second sim the and chose the network mode to WCDMA & GSM auto connect or WCDMA then the internet as well as the network keeps on disconnecting off and on. But in the GSM mode every thing works fine. I went to the service center twice but it did not help. I changed the sim cards as well as the sim slots but nothing worked. Can any one please help me out? I will be very grateful and thankful for it. This has upset me a lot. Once again thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply. But I think my phone(SM-G7109) can not be rooted yet. Besides, I already have Gmail the shop staff installed for me.
Is there any way Google Store, Google Map, Google Calendar to work normally without root? Thank you.

Your device is supported for Google Play see here https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1727131?hl=en
Just search in Google for Google Play apk file and download it and install it... Once google play starts to work everything will start to work..

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I know it should be supported, but since it's sold in China (China Telecom Model), No Google service is pre-installed. And I did try installing Google Play apk file but it didn't work, just as I mentioned before, it continues to show "retry" button as if there's no internet connection.

Hello Bro...
That's Samsung Problem They put so much bloatwares due to which performance will be effected...Clean the RAM and Background application before you start the game...that might solve to certain extant... Sometimes even updates can cause issues with Games Compatibility... See weather internal memory is Low?? if it is then it might cause problems these are some tips.. Most issue can be solved by Rooting since we can remove bloatwares...
I Hope this Helps Bro....
Good Luck....

Hi there!! Strange behavior in my Note 3 SM-9005 with Havoc-OS 3.7 using voice match

First, I asked this question in the Havoc download forum and seems to be in this one so here I go again, I´m from Spain and my english is quite short so please be gentle if I do something wrong, there´s nothing that I could teach or contribute, only my experience like a noob user.
I´m a normal user and it´s quite amazing for me that I did what Havoc-OS intructions said for installation and run at the first time, so good for you that made that a guy like me did not brick my Note 3 :angel:
I´ll try to explain what I did since my phone has Havoc 3.7 last weekend :
My note 3 is running, all the things that I use to work with is running fine, I checked almost everything and from wifi, phone calls, sms in and out, gps, google maps, music, mp3 (I play guitar and sometimes I use the phone to practice), I also changed the ring tone with one created by myself (and ACDC cover...), like I said almost everything is running like new, what it´s bothering me and I try to fix (because I´m stubborn) is the google assistant, it has happened to you that only a tiny thing is not running and even you don´t need it you have the need to how to fix it? That´s what is happening to me.
I can use the google assistant and the kindly girl answer me what I ask when I play the button but it´s impossible to me to get voice match configuration to use Ok Google, and I received near 60 messages each day with error trying to connect.
I try everything (in Havoc forum a kindly member advise me to clear data and cache) and did not fix it, I uninstalled google and google assistant and installed again and always when I try to go to Ok google/voice configuration my phone try to connecto to internet and shows "Connection problem, check your connection and try again"
This is not a big problem for me because I´ve been 4 days using my phone with all the features that I need but this small problem has got a personal matter between my phone and me...and being serious, whith all the forum pages that I read in english my head is nearly to explode.
Thank you if you read this stupid story and thanks in advance if you could lead me to the solution because I feel that my phone is laughing at me!!

First fo all I want to say thanks to the member Atrankas to give me some advices to fix my problem, seems to be that there´s no people with this issue.
To update the information if it could be useful, I followed Atrankas advice and I made a clean installation but this time I use the pico Gapps, for some reason the nano Gapps gave problems to me with Google play and google asisstant and the microphone did not work properly.
Now I can use the assistant but I cannot get the voice configuration, the button appears in grey and when I try to make the Voice match the system shows me a screen configuration looking for wifi and shows an error.
Maybe is my phone problem or rather my problem because I don´t know how to do it...but I´ll try to find a solution, if I find something interesting I´ll come here to give information.

Thank you very much, now I know is not a Rom problem (cannot find users with the same problem that fixed it), I like a lot this rom and runs like a charm, the configurations options are endless and now I have my old note 3 like new for my needs
I took the opportunity flashing a few differents roms, some of them with android 9.x and the problem remains so I´ll check what you told me and see what happens, but I don´t want to flashing more roms because I´m not experience enough and don´t want to brick my note 3...again!!

To update my research and if it´s usefull, I tryed everything I read online, in this forum (if there´s a solution I could not find it or not runs in my phone) and outside...in google assistant forum thread there´s a lot of people with the same problem so I quit searching
I tryed so many things and flashed so many different roms that finally I bricked my note 3 trying to find a solution installing whatever I found when I had everything running and configured perfectly...
So I did a clean install from android 5.0 and I flashed the Havoc-OS 3.7 rom again, maybe a next google assistant update fix the issue.
Now I need a couple of beers...if someone find the solution, please join me!! :highfive:

Well...continuing with my lonely conversation, I don´t know why but I just tried to start Ok Google and surprisingly my Note 3 took me to voice recognition and now is running!! Why? How? don´t have an explanation, I have the updates disconnected and I only installed Microsoft teams app lately for my job purposes this morning and maybe I´m haunted by ghosts because I did nothing, only check the google assistant sometimes to check the Voice match...
Only with Wifi cannot use Ok google because send me to wifi error because cannot get ssid but that´s fine, I love Havoc Os and finally it´s running.
But in my job I use to say, I never trust anything that fix by it self...so We will see

Hey @Bacilus dantracis . After researching the log provide by the google app I actually found the problem. I guess with Android 10 google limit the user app to access the privacy data, so even Google Assistant made by them it cant access the the trained voice data which is used to trigger the app.
In our case, Google app is installed via play store(not included in nano/pico gapps) so it is recognized as user app instead of as system app like the in the stock factory OS.
The solution is very simple. Just make the Google app as system app. It must be in /system/priv-app/ folder. I tried to move it to /system/app but it is still not working, after more investigation I realized that the apps on priv-app have more permission access. After I move the app "Ok Google" command work flawlessly( On Wifi, I didn't put simcard on my note3)
You can move it manually or use Apps Systemizer module on magisk to do that. Hope it'll for you too

This is one of the things that I´d like to understand, I´m totally noob but I like to know the "why" of things, with my limits
I´ve been looking into my phone settings some things but consciously I did not change anything without testing and then going back to avoid screw something because I use a lot my phone in my job (and now It´s amazing how it works!), so thinking about it, could be that I changed anything that made the assistant works...this use to happen touching things without knowledge...some times fix it, sometimes don´t (and brick is one of the things I´m scared!)
Now it´s time to bed for me my friend, but tomorrow I´ll check word by word your post to try to learn more about this issue and understand what has happened, not because I need this feature (only when driving is more useful to me), just to learn how this works. (and for fun!!)
Thanks for your support, now I know that what is not in this forum is not outside.
cheers!!
P.S.remember I´m from Spain and my english is a little bit slippery!!

Phone been acting weird... need help

My phone has been acting really weird for a few months now and I can't figure it out. Is there a way to find all apps on the phone user installed, system, and hidden?? My phone isnt rooted; well I havent rooted it nor does it say it has. For instance earlier when I pushed my volume button there was an accessibility guy there nothing would open when I pushed him and while looking threw my accessibility settings and checking here and there to see if he was still there, he just vanishes without me turning anything off. Like WTF. Theres other weird things but that's just the most recent 1. And it's got me very concerned. Pls help!!

Your probably have a setting on in Accessibility like visibility enhancements or screen reader, you'll need to turn it off.
For list of apps you can view them in Settings > Apps ( Tap the 3 dots on the top right and tap "Show system apps" )

That's what I thought at first so I went threw my accessibility settings and they r all off. He hasn't been back so far that I have noticed. I know there r some spyware and malware that u can hide from being seen or make it look like some random app. Is there a way to use like adb or android studio to scan it for something that shouldn't be there.

I'm not sure too much about malware, I do know that Samsung has their own "Security Features" in Settings > Device Care > Security if you want to scan your device, also try Play Protect.
Seeing that the Accessibility issues are out of the way, what other problems are you experiencing ?

I saw the guy again but this time I kinda got to look at the running services and I found this. Could that have something to do with it?? As u can kinda tell, once I forced stopped that cloud messaging service the time changed on it and went under the dual messenger service. But as I was saying beforehand, google play services always had a pop up saying using headphones in the background. But my data doubled in the last 2-3 months, things I download will just disappear and pictures (like my phone will restore itself a few days but not my messages or calls), my phone also keeps adding a new camera gallery like it's not connected anymore and is a new camera same with the screenshot folder. Theres also a few other things

So Cloud Messaging's time would change because after you stopped the process it restarted itself. But the other things make it look like your phone is being haunted :laugh:
Can you send your list of installed Applications ?

But these are the apps that look suspicious to me :
AnyMusic
Device Info (Multiple Apps)
Downloader
I-Say
InboxDollars
Lucky Dice,Money,Pusher

If I were you, I'd get rid of them.
If this doesn't fix your issues. I recommend you reset the device and do not install apps like this.

The one on the left is your recovery. The one on the right is Download Mode (Used to reinstall firmware via PC)

Sorry. I see it now. I'm not sure why that is. I have never seen that before in my life, it's very weird.
I recommend you backup your files and reinstall the firmware.

Thank u so much for u help but I think I'm actually gonna root this phone and get rid of some of these odd apps and that work profile that I have no idea how to get into. Now to just find and download everything I need to do just that. Lol
