Something funny for christmas

I opened my phone this morning and I found that my arc launcher modified himself
I made screenshots to see this

That's cool. I'm using a ICS Themed Active Launcher but yet there is no such thing. But my Go SMS Pro surprised me because when someone message me with a "Christmas" word in it there will be Snow falling down in the conversation view.

Very nice but as I said this is on arc launcher ,active usualy has 4 corner screen the dock is modified for active

This has pretty much made my phone unusable. Crashes 10+ times a day and I have to take the battery out to restart.
Also drains the battery at the rate of 15% an hour.
The SD card has also stopped working. Getting the message "Preparing the SD card....Checking for Errors" In the notification bar.
Im using this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335
Hope it disappears today.
Can I get rid of it by installing a different launcher?

Well the icons disappeared and the phone was somewhat OK for half a day.
Now it wont even start up. Getting the message "Sorry. Process system is not responding." Neither the wait or force close button works.
I press the off button and then they become active. I try to boot into x recovery but no good.
Any suggestions?

2sugestions:
1: reinstall the launcher
2:change the rom with a new 2.2 rom
2+1/2: try to full wipe the rom sometimes it helps
Hope it will fix ur problem

Does anyone actually use ChatOn?

Why do Samsung continue to bundle this app? I've never heard of anyone using it, and I know lots of people with Samsung handsets, the servers and everything must be a drain on samsung's funds, why do they bloat out our phones with this?

No, useless.

nope

I agree that it's pretty useless and hardly anyone uses it. In fact, I don't know of one person who does, but it's pretty obvious that Samsung is developing its own ecosystem, perhaps as a backup or fail safe for the day if/when they part ways with Google's own ecosystem. They have counterparts for nearly every Google service, although right now, most of them suck.

Considered bloat
Never kept long enough

Sometimes WhatsApp servers... Fail... The Last saturday, for example the service had interrupted for a couple hours.
Hangouts was the solution for this time

i hear it's used so much, that even the NSA didnt bother tapping :laugh:

I wonder same thing if people rly use this app

ChatONs biggest advantage is probably that it isn't WhatsApp. :'D

I do use it as in Qatar many people use it.
I mainly use the LivePartner feature inside it though to keep myself updated.

I suppose Vanilla phone users kinda use it.
I signed on it for the hell of it, and found 3 people I knew that use it on their S3 or S4.
I promptly trashed the app once I rooted, though.

I received a firmware update and today I decided to play on the settings and saw a "turn off" button in the chat on app settings - is this new? I pressed that SOB

Sent from my obsolete Teletubby. I want a new model with no external antenna and a touch screen in 16:9.

i use whatsapp as main chat app (bought 5 years subscription recently) but there is one thing that whatsapp doesn't support and it is gifs. so whenever i want to send a reaction gif to my bff i have to tell her to open chatOn on her s4 lol, besides gif support and full image quality (it doesn't try to make the files smaller, so images always reach their destination as you sent them, unlike whatsapp) chatOn has nothing good to offer and i use it only like 2-3 times a month
tho that still means it's at least a bit useful
haven't tried hangouts, don't know how image quality/gifs work (if they work at all)

[Q] video lags at muchmovies.org why ??

I just got the note 3 and it lags at my favorite site to stream movies. When I tried it with my mom iPhone it didnt. Is it just that website doesn't work for the note 3? Please help. Thanks

Come on people give me something why won't it stream the movie clear at muchmovies.org on my note 3 but it will on mu mom's iphone. I'm a noon to this so I don't know how to post or anything just give me some ideas please. Thanks

There are a few things I could have you try, if you were rooted. But since it seems you're not here are a couple of other things you can try.
Go to settings/storage. Click on cache data. Select ok to clear and restart your phone.

Also long press home, select task manager. Go to RAM tab, and clear memory.
Also, are you on the latest update? What browser are you using?
♢NoteIII♢

muchmovies.com movies lag streaming
Thank you for your advice I'm going to try that and yes my phone is updated with the latest software. What is strange is that it doesn't lag on YouTube it's just seems to be there. But it makes me mad because it's a great site to stream new movies and it works fine on my mom's iphone. I am using Google Chrome when I go to try it. Thanks keep up with ttrying to help the new guy.

I'm using the stock browser and it worked fine on the movie I tried. Great quality, quick loading.

Flashlight app isn't lighting up the physical camera flash? See if it requires root access to do so, and consider rooting. Rooting = admin access on your phone basically, good to have if you don't care about warranty

Check in your widgets for "assistive light". It does what you want without any 3rd party apps.

Restart your phone. Mine did that and all it needed was a reboot.

S7 Edge FRP Bypass (with video) restore nearly all functions of your phone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdxfKh9NLQQ
works every time.
remember the first time you do this you have to stay on the wifi screen for at least 1 hour for it to work.
once you have bypassed this once you never have to wait on subsequent reboots and all your settings and history are saved.

Some people forget about this security feature and factory reset their phones from recovery without turning off FRP. I have it turned off all the time to avoid me making the same mistake.

Correct but I believe there is a 3 day wait until you can log back in.
However, a lot of the time people buy second hand phones and the seller has not signed out, making this the only remaining option.
This literally makes it pointless to have this security as it can be bypassed anyway, this is why I don't bother having it on in the first place.

Ah, I see. I would just wait instead of having to use this hacky workaround that barely works but some might need to be able to be contacted 24/7.
That's why you always, always, ALWAYS go through the phone when buying it off Craigslist or something.

Hi mate apologies for not getting back to you earlier I have been sleeping we must be in different time zones.
I honestly cannot tell you why you do not have the enhanced features option. Could you let us know what build your rom is?

Disable Bloat/Improve battery life the EZ Way

I see a lot of folks having problems with battery life and lag so I'm sharing my xml file for EZ Package Disabler Pro ($1.49)
This will disable bloatware on your device and help it to run as it should.
Import the xml file and apply.
App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.packagedisabler
XML Download(updated): http://www54.zippyshare.com/v/RY5hORye/file.html

It would be very helpful at a first glance if you could list all of the apps that you are disabling in this thread.

Here's my list that I've used since Note 4 without any issues whatsoever with any of my devices.

I've updated the link. I'll post the list of apps disabled later today.

Here is a list of what I've disabled. I don't use the edge apps and I don't use s health either.

Also I disabled the tmobile app via adb before I started using this app. If you can't disable that app let me know.

Disable this app as well, "com.tmobile.pr.adapt"
Its a tmobile spying app. Related to my account as well

Thanks for this. Might have to use it if my battery drain goes to crap. But after factory reset all is well so far. Over 6 SOT whew.

There's a lot of talk on the infoweb about the Samsung keyboard. being less that stellar.

I have no problem with Samsung keyboard so far, but I'm not fast typist by any means and don't type much. Isn't there another keyboard you can load, swiftkey or something? I think I had it on my old phone and at the end Samsung was better for me, but should work for others.
Stupid question: since we can disable programs using settings/apps, what is the benefit of using separate dedicated program, besides the usual faster/easier? For example can the program disable apps settings can't?

I froze the Samsung keyboard and am still having problems with it, lol! I still see that bug where the Sammy keyboard periodically tries to place itself back as 'default' is still around. It somehow screwed up my Swype and I had to make a few settings changes to get it working right again.

I've now tweaked my note 7 to where I'm literally getting 1hr and 20 minutes of SOT per every 10% of battery!
