Hi guys, I have noticed that when I plug in the headphones, my S4 only displays a notification for 'headphones connected' but does not create a 'page buddy', like it does on my Note 2. I have tried finding the option in the Menu, but was unable to locate it (on the Note 2 it's in the 'Display' option, but on the S4 it's no longer there).
Is anyone able to help with this? I can see the process is running for the 'page buddy' but nothing happens when I plug the headphones in, so it looks like it's not ticked somewhere in the menu?
Yeah, I'd like to find out about this, too.
Same here may not be in s4

Answer from Samsung UK on Facebook
I asked the question on Samsung UK's Facebook page and they replied saying that "Page Buddy has been removed from the S4, but it may be brought back in the future".
The good thing is that in Android 4.2.2 you can add a widget on the lock screen and control the music player from there. However, I cannot understand why they decided to remove Page Buddy from the S4. The process is there, if you look in the Application Manager/Running, you will find PageBuddyNotiSvc in the list, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

It seems the only thing it does it add the earphone shortcuts to the notification bar.
If you disable it, they no longer show up. I hate them anyway, takes too much room up.
Pagebuddy uninstall
I have a Samsung S4 rooted and can uninstall the pagebuddy app i am just wondering if this would be a good idea and if i do this will my phone stop working ?

So this is a weird little issue that started yesterday, same day I got my S4. Air View works fine for every app but the email app. Instead of the full text, I just see this chopped off little text bubble (see attachment). It happens on either of the two email accounts I have in the app, one exchange, one aol (yes, I am ashamed). Already tried to remove both the accounts, clear the app cache, clear app data, then re-add the accounts. Same thing. Wondering if anyone has seen this issue yet or if it's just me.
S4 is stock, no root, no nothing. Had already installed all apps and changed my launcher before the issue started. Can't think of anything off the top of my head that I changed directly before I noticed the problem. Any help would be appreciated, I get a lot of emails and would love to have this working again.

Yeah I did, but I found out what was actually causing it. I was using Light Flow for my notifications and didn't know about the existing issues when you enable it in the accessibility options.
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW about the problem caused, basically there is a known glitch when you try to turn on Light Flow under the accessibility options. It will try to turn on TalkBack, but only some of the TalkBack functions work, which made it hard to diagnose. Turning on TalkBack, disabling all the settings, and turning it back off won't help, neither will disabling the app. Since TalkBack disables settings such as Air View, some of the functionality is lost when you turn the settings back on. The author of Light Flow knows about the issue and is trying to work on it according to an in app message I glazed over the first time. In the meantime, plenty of other notifications still work if you don't turn on accessibility.
Thanks for the response though, hopefully this info will help others.
I have the exact same issue, except light flow isn't installed. Any other ideas?

Could you have something else installed that's causing the issue? I would disable it, reboot, and try again.
I suppose there's always the possibility something else is effecting it, but unsure what! Tried what you suggested and still not working
The way I fixed the talkback issue was to freeze both Google and Samsung text-to-speech in titanium backup.
I've still never seen air view work anywhere but in the browser though. Maybe there is a setting buried somewhere, I only discovered yesterday that the toggles in motion and gestures settings also have sub-menus with settings for individual features (and also when you tap a feature name and then 'try it' there can be more settings like sensitivity for motion zoom and pan).
Do any of you have a pebble? That'd s what was causing the issue for me. Basically if if talkback is being utilized, airview will not work.

I am using LG Tone+ wireless headphone with n9005 and because I enabled its application in the accessibility options, this error happened to me.
Please check any application that might be installed and enabled under the services under accessibility options and disable/ enable until you find the one that causes this problem.
Hope this would help.
btw, thanks guys for the tip, it gave me the idea

Thanks mofahmy, but you'll see that I figured this out months ago. Also a note for any Light Flow users still having the issue, newer versions of Light Flow and GS4 roms have fixed the glitch.
Hi all, not sure if this is in the right place, apologies moderators if so
I have problem on my Note 3 - so I am now intrigued and enthusiastic about getting to know and getting the most out of S-Voice - but mainly with the headphones in a hands free fashion.
However when the phone is in my pocket and off and i long press the control button on the headphones to supposedly launch S-Voice or Google Now... i get absolutely nothing.... so i take the phone out of my pocket and turn on the screen... unlock it... and i see a prompt "complete action using S-voice OR Google Search" but only for a split second and the prompt dissappears without me being able to even come close to making a selection and always happens that way.....
So im ending up with... nothing.. no control.. no apps launched.. ever... just a teasingly close to choice thats taken away from me.
Whats the deal? anyone know?
Many thanks
Liam
Try disabling Google's Voice Search (Now) in settings->apps>google now.
This should make svoice the default automatically.
If you need Google Now and don't want it disabled I don't know how I can help. I can't replicate the issue here.

Many thanks for reply, I see what you mean by setting it to default.... But you are right, I do want google now voice search enabled so that's not an option (unless doing this sets the default then when voice search is re enabled it remember my preference??)
How is your svoice setup skander1988? Would you be able to screenshot for me?

I believe re-enabling google now will reset the defaults again.
There is nothing to setup though, I'm using the S5 SVoice on my Note 3 with Google Now enabled and it automatically uses SVoice for me.
EDIT: I just reconfirmed, it automatically opens SVoice for me by default without any additional configuration
EDIT2: My friend's Note 3 shows the same behaviour as yours.

I'm intrigued.

Which mobile browser are you using? Assuming it's either the Samsung stock browser, try in chrome and try downloading Firefox from the play store to see if the error reproduces in other browsers
Edit; when you say you close some "except the internet" are you referencing apps? Because that would be a memory issue and not a browser tabs issue so be sure to check the tabs in your browser, not in your recent apps screen.
Got it
Thank you. I was using the Samsung internet app. When I used chrome, didn't have the problem anymore.

Great, if I was able to help, pressing the the thanks button below my post would be appreciated
P.s I don't think there is an issue with the Samsung Browser itself, it's layout can be quite awkward but there should be a button near the top right that lists all of your open tabs with an option to close them!.
Got an AmazFit A1602 watch, Chinese ROM. Set it up, updated it, played with PACEified for a few seconds (hadn't figured out how to OTA the stock ROM yet, so it hung-up when screen went off), went back to Chinese ROM, OTA'd it, reset it in English, and that's where I left it for about a week. Worked great, loved the watch. But, coming from a Gear Live (that wore out), I can't stand not getting my notifications on the watch...
So I dug further into it. Replaced the Chinese ROM with the English ROM - now it thinks it's an A1612 PACE. Kewl. Whatever. App works, everything works, repaired the recovery and OTA works (wellp, now I'm stuck on it, after finding the bootloader is now locked). But NOTIFICATIONS still don't work!
Tried it on a different device - my Nexus 7 tablet. Still no notifications.
Tried reinstalling, tried different app versions, tried everything I can find and think of. No. Notifications.
Do they even work for anyone else?
Another thread on the saga: https://www.reddit.com/r/amazfit/comments/61w4ga/most_notifications_not_coming_through_facebook
I might just offer "ad-free" for anyone that can actually help, throw a bounty out there and see if someone can help me. I usually end up asking the hard questions nobody can answer :fingers-crossed:
Probably you've tried this already but it's worth to repeat procedure.
After you paired the watch with your phone, you have to enable notifications in the app, choose witch notifications you want to allow/block and let the amazfit app to access notifications. Last part is usually under Android settings, security. Sounds complicated but it's good to have full control.
Notifications worsk perfectly for me.

Yep, that's the first thing I try - but I appreciate the reply/bump! I think I might throw that bounty out there (if legal to do so) - I'd throw $15 at this problem to get it fixed. Hopefully that's how the donate option works
I enabled notification access to Amazfit app in the Android settings. Under the "notifications" options in the app, I get a miles-long list of apps on the phone, but they are all under the option to "disallow app notifications" -- no apps appear at the top of the page under "Allow app notifications". Presumably the top section is for apps that have sent notifications.
I also "disable battery optimization" and allow contact access for the watch as well.
My phone is a Huawei Honor 5x (kiwi) running CM13 (20161223 nightly) - but also tried on the Nexus 7 (2013) tablet running stock OS, unrooted.
Each app on that list have a switch on the right to enable notifications and move it to the "Allow app notifications".
Sent from my LG-V940n using Tapatalk
Screenshots how should look like. Latest dev app does not have push notifications but has another tab. Of course, watch must be connected to the phone to be able to receive notifications. But that's obvious Btw, I didn't touch batter optimization.
Btw, Frys still has the watch on $30 off.
p.s.
Now I see that you're my neighbor

That was it!! Goddamn Chingrish... to me, it looked like that settings page was divided into two - apps that had sent notifications in the past, which I could turn off "allow notifications", and apps that hadn't sent notifications and I could "disallow" them from ever doing so. The Chingrish part is that they should be saying "Allowed" and "Disallowed" notifications... not "allow"/"disallow". It simply doesn't make sense to divide them solely by their switch setting... and since I had no intention of disallowing an app's notifications, I never tried switching ones from the bottom! Also doesn't make a lick of sense to disable them all by default - easily seems like it's malfunctioning. I just went through and switched everything up to "allowed" like it is in Android Wear by default.
Wellp, I got a SMS buzz on my wrist for the first time, and everything is awesome now.
Now I have a new problem...

Just sharing my experience. My notifications stopped working and I went through all the above to no avail. Finally I realised I must have accidentally turned on Silent Mode at some point. It may help to check on your watch that Silent Mode is OFF

Gmail doesn't push notifications to watch
Hi all,
I m experiencing this issue and I really cannot understand what is going wrong and why it does it...i recently purchased amazfit stratos English version and I was not very satisfied with the notifications capabilities..i could only see the first email and read it all way down but if a second mail arrived I could only see the gmail logo and a number( indicating the number of the mails that I have) ..but wasn't able to read each message...very frustrating...same for other apps...Viber and line messenger if I receive more than one message I can only read the last one....so I decide to go with the watchdroid app for the phone and assistant for the watch... everything is running smoothly now,I can even reply to messages (for some reason only sms messages not Viber or line) BUT I do NOT receive my mails from gmail...something that with the amazfit app I could...well I could not read them if they were more than one but the push service was working...with watchdroid gmail push notifications do not work....any help would be appreciated guys!
Thanks in advance,

Annoying " Unable to resume the download. You need to restart the download "
I keep getting that banner pop up at the bottom middle portion of the screen. It happens at various apps and places like the app drawer. I don't know what download it is and how to stop it? I was almost certain that there's no active download every time that message pop up.
Same. I searched the web for this and this thread is the only thing that came up. I wonder if it has to do with apps auto updating in the background or something... Although if it was just a google play store thing then it'd probably be more widespread across other phones, and we happen to have the same phone. So maybe it's some zte thing. I'm trying to think of what of theirs auto updates... Maybe the lock screen backgrounds.. I know those update periodically. It's not a system/os update cuz I have none of those available.

It says "Unable to resume the download. You need to restart the download", just in a rounded rectangle box near the bottom of the screen.

Hi, I worked in ZTE, and focus on AXON 7, are you the same position in USA like me? I hope we can join together to provide better service to customer. Yet I am not a hotline agent, are you?
Also getting this on my Axon 7.
@Gryphticon,
hi, have you tried factory reset your phone? I guess the problem is related with the APP. You may replace the APP or upgrade it.

Okay, let's try to find the culprit. Do you guys have root? I believe those are toast notifications. Download "Toast Source" from the Play Store and see which app is bothering
I don't have root. I just installed the Toast Source app but I haven't seen the notification in a while so I'll have to just wait and see.
Ok, Toast Source just caught it and apparently the built in Download Manager app (orange icon, I'm assuming it's from zte) is giving the message. The last two times it showed up was i think after i had left range of a wifi network (screen might have been off), and after waking up in the morning and unlocking my phone.
I also had no active downloads running, and don't see anything in the list in the download manager app, so it's gotta be something happening automatically in the background.
