No it's just stock and rooted. When I try to open it on the pull down notification It just shows perpairing services.

Play store not working

Is anyone else having a problem with play store not working? All I get is a screen that says "no connection".

Might just want to go into the application manager, clear data, force stop, and try using it again. That usually fixes it for me :thumbup:

I've done that, uninstalled it, reinstalled, updated.... Nothing I can think of works.

Working fine here... You sure you're connected to 3/4g, Wifi? Maybe in a dead spot?
No, that's not it. All other data apps work. Good connection all around.

Watch On S4 problem

All the sudden Watch On app is turning itself on and showing in the notifications area. I turn it off(tell it not to) but when I restart it's back. What happened? Fix?
Thanks.

Check your settings and disable the "show remote in notifications"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Thanks, but that's what I have tried 6 times now. It automatically puts it back on restart.
Please help.

I came here and was just about to ask the same question. I could not figure out why this thing was always on in the notifications and status bar!

That is weird because I use my watch on app all the time. I disabled the notification from settings once and it stayed true. Are you running a custom ROM? I'm on ShoStock v2.0.

Not rooted. All stock.

Same here. Started happening a couple days ago. Every restart its in my notifications. I'm running mint jelly rom.

I am running SHOstock 2 and it happens to me too.
I reported it to samsung, you should too,
in the Settings near the bottom
Send feedback or get help
Report this faulty app Please!!!!
fix
Unless Samsung has updated the app behind the scenes.
This seems to have fixed the issue:
Under settings go into your applications
go to Samsung Watchon and hit the clear button,
Yes, you will have to re-setup your TV\Cable,
but the checkbox does not reset now.
I emailed them about the issue. You can report bugs from the app. I suggest everyone do the same

Which location setting is needed for the weather widget?

As the title says, which location setting needs to be turned on for the stock weather to work correctly and update when you go to a different location? As of now it says "current location service temporarily unavailable" when I refresh the widget.
I was having battery life problems, so I turned off every location based setting on the phone, but I want to at least turn the single one on that makes this widget work.
Thanks!

Sorry to keep bumping, but does anyone know which location setting to turn on to accomplish this?
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda premium
Pretty sure it needs the one main settings under location.

With root there are options in Wanam to do this. Screen stay off when small received. However it doesn't work with this device.

Is there anyone who is familiar with decompiling/recompiling APKs that can do this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471786
Wanam has it in his module but it's not working

This also annoys me to no end. Hopefully someone can mod the apk so we Dont have the screen automatically turn on when an MMS is received

Anyone have a problem with camera flash not working?

I keep randomly having an issue with the camera flash not working, and I've seen other similar complaints with other phones but they force stop camera and it works, mine doesn't. The only thing that works is a reboot, but I shouldn't have to do that to fix the issue. Flashlight doesn't work either at the same time btw. Anyone else worth this problem? Any fixes?

Not with the Stock Camera but I also have the Paid CameraZoomFX and the Flash doesn't fire with that unless I set it to Torch Mode. I know that they (CameraZoomFX) just issued a bug fix for the S4 Flash, so I wonder if they're going to issue one for the N3.
My brother had this same issue had to take the phone back for replacement. They replaced it with little issue at Verizon.

Maybe I'll do that. When they replace it do you get a refurbished or new?

I believe he got a refurb. That's what they generally do unless they don't have any then they give new.

Soft reset? Like just rebooting? Or full wipe and restart?

OK I looked that up and it says it's to troubleshoot an app that may be causing the issue, did you remove an app after that?

I have similar problems. My phone camera flash currently doesn't work at all. None of the apps which have access to the camera and the flash work. I'm currently using InFocus M320e. Several days ago I recorded a video for 35 minutes and the flash was on because it was dark at that time. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.
