[Q] S Note is missing

I've updated my Galaxy Note to ICS via Wi-Fi (official, about 320MB). Aside from a few minor bugs that probably got fixed after a couple of restarts, everything seems fine for now.
One thing that is bothering me - the S Note app is nowhere to be found. Both in-phone update option and Kies on my PC do not offer any other updates, nor I can find it in the Samsung Apps.
Where is my S Note and what should I do? =\
I've got a german Note, and I use it in Russia with Russian localization. Switched it back to German (for just in case) and rebooted - no effect.
Device info:
Android version 4.0.3
Firmware N7000XXLPT
kernel 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
build number (?) IML74K.XXLPY

U need Samsung apps in order get the new smemo app.
Its not part of the Rom.

First time I flashed LPY I got no s-note. Turns out I had too low space in my /data partition (I had less than 200 MB).
I came back to GB, erased a lot of unused apps, until I had more than 500 MB free.
Then, when I reinstalled LPY, got s-note.
Beware that all this flashing might give you superbrick When I did all the above, I didn't know of the bug.

Well, I didn't flash ROM, I updated the device via device info-firmware update

Try connecting to Samsung apps account

Samsung apps account is connected, and I had more than 700mb of system space at the time of update.
I wonder if there's an official way to install the S note or reinstall ICS altogether. Kies doesn't seem to offer such an option

Now that's strange. I was trying to find the gmail app with no success. I thought I wold just download it from Play market, but it said I have it installed, with no button to launch it, only to delete the app. Okay, I chose to delete it, but instead of being gone it became available to launch and the gmail icon appeared among the other applications oO
Maybe my S note is there somewhere, but it cannot be accessed through play market or samsung apps.

Bump.
Anyone knows how to report bugs to Samsung?

Why not just download the apk from this thread?

[Q] Upgrade to EC03 removed Think Free cannot access Google Play to download

Took a stock Samsung Continuum Verizon changed to Page Plus and upgraded to
Build SCH-I400.EC03
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Model # - SCH-400
Hardware Version I400.6
Before the upgrade I was using "Think Free". After the port Think Free was removed. I tried to activate the "Market" App to download "Think Free" from Google Play. I get the error message "Can't establish a reliable data connection". I can access the Internet and Google Calendar. Lastly, I had never used the "Market" App before the port. Everything else seems to work fine. I have already tried clearing the data for "Market" App with the same result. All my work has been over WIFI. Any ideas on what to do next?

Assuming you are rooted, which you should be since 03 was a leak, I've would suggest getting a root browser, finding a copy of ec03 w with the think free app, and putting it on your sd card. Next, open the toupee browser, and copy the app from sd to either /data/app or /system/app, depending on whether you want it as a user app, or system. That should since that problem.

[Q] Can't install apps due to "Insufficient Storage Available"

As the title says, I cannot install apps while, in fact, I have 3gb free. I cannot install apps such as Titanium Backup, Jewels Star, and Browser for Skydrive. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it? This has only started occurring today, and yes, I am rooted. Any help would be much appreciated.

I hace 500mb and The same error :'(

Well I'm not exactly sure this is the issue or not, but for example, the Nexus 7 16 gb has like 13 gb free, but not all of that partition is available for applications. There is 2gb of allotted space for apps, and anything that exceeds that will have to be moved to a flash drive or an sd card in a USB adapter via an otg cable.

Go in Lucky Patcher and click on the three dots bottom right corner, than choose troubleshooting, choose the remove fixes and backup option.
That's it

got this problem after an OTA update for my alcatel ot 995. a really big thank you for your info.

I tried both the lucky patcher and titanium backup ways and still have insufficient storage :'((((

I have also this same error with Nexus 7 16GB. Can't update/install new apps, even like size of 1MB apps. I have 501MB available. I have already tried "Forever Gone" and "Lucky Patcher" fixes and wiped cache and dalvik cache. Any suggestions what to do?

Insufficient Storage Available
Got this error recently too on my GN 7, with 11 GBs of free space.
Situation: Went to play Angry Birds Star Wars Edition. Selextred the icon on my desktop but got an error message stating the game was not installed (after being there for several weeks). Checked my App Drawer and confirmed it was not there. Went to Google Play, hit download on the game, started to install and then got the dreaded error message: Insufficient Storage Available.
Steps Taken: Went into settings, Apps, cleared cache and data, removed large apps but nothing worked. Tried "Lucky Patcher" and "MarketFix", no luck (pun intended).
Solution (FYI Root access required):
1. Using ES File Explorer, navigated to /data/app and deleted Angry Birds Star Wars Edition .apk.
2. Using ES File Explorer, navigatd to /data/app-lib and deleted Angry Birds Star Wars Edition folder.
3. Back to Google Play, downloaded App and no error, problem solved!
My guess is that somehow the system no longer see's the app folder, even though its still there. So when you go to download it, or in other cases update it, Google Play does its thing and crashes when it encounters the files. Its not expecting to see them and then can't figure out what to do when it finds them. My uneducated guess is that the error message itself isn't reflective of the issue, just a generic error message (sounds like something Microsoft was good at ).
This worked for me, may not work for you. At a high level, I think you have to remove the offending application and re-install it. If its multiple apps, you may need to remove them all or perhaps something else is going on. Hope this helps, I was relieved when I got my the issue resolved.

While this article is from 2012, I'm experiencing a problem with my rooted Nexus 10 where certain apps will not update and the system throws the "insufficient storage available" error while I have 17.5gb of free space. The apps in question include (Lastpass, Netflix and Weatherbug). Other apps (Google Docs, Google Sheets and RootChecker) update just fine. I'm running the Paranoid Android ROM (version 4.43, released 07/15/2014). I queried the PA community but no reply. I also emailed support at Lastpass, but no answer as of yet. I'm holding off on updating the Nexus 5 to 4.43 until I figure out if the ROM update is causing this issue. I don't recall this problem appearing when 4.42 was running.

Thank you so much. I deleted the app and app-lib folders and my download completed.
I haven't checked to see if it fixed just that app, or all apps, because this seems to be an issue for all apps currently installed.
Either way, the one I needed to update, has done so, because of your advice.
Thank you.

how to fix this

i keep getting this error every time i reboot the tablet
process com.google.process.gapps has stopped
cant use the market too its wont load up .. chrome give f,c when i try to download somthing
its JB 4.2.2 not rooted
how i can fix this ?

Since it is a stock unrooted tablet you have exactly two options
a) Try clearing data (Settings->Apps->All) on related gapps applications e.g.
- Google Play services
- Google Play Store
- Google Services Framework
- others?
OR
b) Factory Reset
Because there is always the risk of wedging the OS by fooling around with things using technique (a), even if you plan on trying that first, you should prepare for the possibility that a Factory Reset might be needed. Note that the Stock Recovery's "factory reset" wipes EVERYTHING including the SD card - so this means
Back up your whole tablet before you begin.
I was going to suggest using the Carbon backup app to back up your apps & data (it claims to work on unrooted devices) - but then realized you have a chicken-vs-egg problem (can't install apps via Google Play). I note that both the windows MSI installer and the .apk file are available from the developers website. I'm not sure how this would work out though as it is a paid app ??? Maybe you still need the market to partially work to get an auth token? (I'm not sure what is needed to work on the tablet for in-app purchases to succeed.) Well, at least you can install the Windows .MSI and sideload-install the .apk and see how that goes...
Good luck and take your time. It may be that no backup is needed after all, but I would hate to be faced with the possibility that a full factory reset is the only thing left to do (the wedged-OS condition).
PS please change your thread/post title to something a little less vague

Help needed with constant Cyanogenmod 11 crashes on S4 GT-I9505

Anyone? Still having severe issues...
----
I have very happily used Cyanogenmod 11 on a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 for many years. Now suddenly after an apparently harmless update of a few Apps (gmail, youtube, firefox and a few more small ones), apps on my phone keep crashing whenever it accesses some deeper app info. Sometimes they even reboot my phone.
Symptoms: With a SIM card, the phone will crash and reboot right after entering the PIN for the SIM card. Without a SIM card, I can get to the lock screen, enter my unlock gesture and then see many, many messages that Trebuchet has crashed. Leaving the phone turned on for a night will result in a working Trebuchet launcher from which I can run most apps, but accessing Settings > Apps, for example, will briefly show the Apps and then crash Settings. Titanium Backup will run for about a minute while "Building data freshness information..." and then crash TB, sometimes even reboot the phone. Dragging an app icon from the launcher onto "App Info" will briefly display the app info while computing disk space and then crash. So I cannot reset cache or app data on the phone itself (I can through adb, though).
What I tried so far: Installed three other launchers but they showed the same symptoms, one even directly rebooted the phone. I booted into recovery and reset the Dalvik cache and let CM rebuild the app details on restart with no apparent positive effect. I tried removing the SD card but did not see any positive effect either. Booting into Safe Mode did not help, I still see systemui and trebuchet crashing upon restart. Also clearing the app data for Trebuchet (through 'adb shell pm clear com.cyanogenmod.trebuchet') did not remove the crashes.
Some more details: I have about 300 apps installed. Internal storage has about 1GB free, the SD card has 400MB available. I can connect to the phone via adb, but 'adb backup' produces only an empty file. I can run Play Store, list my apps, install updates. This is a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 running Cyanogenmod 11.0 based on Android 4.4.4.
Any help would be much appreciated! Moving all my apps and their settings to a new phone or a new OS would be a very big effort which I very much would like to avoid.
Thank you very much in advance!
PS: What would be the best way to make a full backup of the phone before trying out a new ROM?

I guess problem might be with update package. As of best way of backup, I use titanium background and it's pretty good!
Everyone's requirements and usage is different so you might try something else as well.

As mentioned, Titanium Backup is one of those apps that crashes.
Any other suggestions what I could do to get rid of those crashes?

Just in case someone else reads this - after a lot of trial and error, I was able to identify a single app (ISS Detector) as the culprit. Uninstalling the app removed all the crashes. Re-installing it would crash-boot the phone immediately after the install was complete!
I have NO IDEA why a normal app would be able to crash the entire OS but I am glad to be able to use my phone again.
