issues briefed with my galaxy s5 brand new device - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys, i just got my galaxy s5 2 days ago,
i can tell it seems nice, but?
1- the tapping sometimes seems not callebrated!! like when i click to show the menu in data usage, it gives me the list to select/unselect the "restrict background data" but i can't select it!! same in many other menus, these menues which they changed from the press bottun hardware into a software menu to select, i can't select the ristrict background data, it is either going to above it "data roaming" or below it "enable wifi measure" how i can callebrate it? how i can make the touch work fine!!?? i even tried to use a thin pen softly many times, i just can't control some menus like the one i said about, also in messages (SMS) when trying to open a first message in the list, it opens for me "create new message instead" looks like the hit comes on the place that is above what i tap!!! any idea why?
2- i want to make the clock alarm put the das like S M T W T F S, but it keep reading starts from Monday, i've selected the regional settings correct "Dubai/ UAE" and made sure that is all like my old S3 which was fine, but i just couldn't make it appear as startting from Sunday!!! any idea?
3- when i am on the home screen, going right, goes to the right page, fine, going right again, goes to the next page, fine, but if i go left, it opens the magazine thing, i don't want it, i just want it to open the last page normally like you are flipping the pages, how i can do that?
THIS IS SOLVED, I COULD DISABLE THIS MAGAZINE THING, PLEASE IGNORE THIS NUMBER 3, THERE ARE SETTINGS THAT YOU CAN ENABLE AND DISABLE
4- the usb input place is really disgussting, everytime you need to carefully remove the cover and each ones you have to make sure you do it carefully not to spoil it, is seems thin and can't handle pressure, i just don't know why they put it,,,, any idea how to remove it "without breaking it" out of the device, so to keep it aside and may use it later for example??
5- i am planning to keep my s3 as secondary phone, and wanna like only to sync contacts of google account that used in the s5, nothing more, no apps or google play stuff, only for backup call solution if needed, so what is the best practice to achieve this? if i put my gmail account it will download and install all apps which installed on s5, and i don't want that, what is the best practice for this?
6- how to create a folder on the main home screens? i can't find this option yet
thanks for your time guys

#6. Long press an icon you want in a folder. Options appear. While still holding down on the icon move up to where it says make a folder. Then you can name the folder and add more apps to it.

thanks, that works, i could create a folder
number 6 is done, still the first question, specially the selecting from the menu, makes me crazy, i can't select all menues, even when in main apps place, click menu and can't select "create folder" for example, seems the touch is not working as supposed to!!! some menu can't be really selected, is it a touch problem? hardware? my device problem? gets me really crazay, i want to trestict background data but i can't select it!!! same in sms, if select the first sms, it takes me to priority set options, which is above the first sms list... is it the touch callebration? how i can solve this? what about the other questions?

the option for number 3 if anyone else is looking for it, go to your home page, long press the rescent apps button, hit home screen settings, uncheck my magazine

oh, just noticed your other reply to Q no2
exactly dear, i have it on my galaxy s5 starting from Monday!!! is this picture from s5? for me i've selected english as language, and standard gulf time, is there any other settings that i need to change?

guys, nobody is facing this tapping callebration issue in the S5? i affraid my mobile device is the only one doing this, so i have to return it back to vendor,
please advise

It does seem like a hardware problem to me, but I can't say for sure of course.
I never had such problems though.

Mithrandir007,
if you have the s5, can you please go to data usage, and click on that menu button up there, then try to select the strict background data, is that works and selected normally?
problem is i can select everything else on the phone, only this new menu list, in some occasions, i cant select the first or the second option, same for new folder in the apps list, same also in the sms list...
please, anybody can confirm or explain anything related?

device was defective in hardware, even software update (fresh software installation) did not help. unfortunately, many people had the same problem as Samsung representative stated earlier today, they took the device from me and will arrange for replacement soon. this is FYI guys.

This
Quick questions:
Is it customizable?
Doesn't seem to work very well on Diamond... when I do a restart it pop ups when I'm typing my Pin code... and then The icon is hiding 'behind' TouchFlo .. so I cant get to it... and nothing happens when I try to start it in the Start menu...
And I cant chose any alarm sounds....
Anyone else having problems with Diamond and SpoonAlarm?
ok
on ie not see the image but i can download it.
testing....
thanks
Ironically, I never heard of this program until yesterday and downloaded the previous version yesterday. It seemed call but it kept going off every 3 minutes. I said dismiss but it just kept going off so I uninstalled it. But it keeps going off, even though it's uninstalled. Thankfully it stopped for now, but I think it may happen again. How can it keep going if I uninstalled it?
Nice but I don't like the tray item. When launching the app for the second time it won't show up, you have to use the tray item. I use Throttle Launcher so the tray is hidden, which makes the app quite unusable.
SpoonAlarm 2.0
I think there are some issues with Diamond, a friend of mine already reported it's not working very well for him too.
I will check it out and try to fix the problem.
Can you explain the tray icon problem please?
Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback,
I thought people will actually like the tray icon...
Any suggestions how I can enable easy access to it without the tray?

Have a way to link it to the taskbar clock, or the user can create a shortcut in whatever launcher they use.
Thanks.
So I think what I will do is to give it as optional configuration.
Will update you as soon as it is fixed.
Gil.
I too hadn't heard about your program until today - and it seems great, except for the tray icon...
There are many places you can allow the user to place the icon:
Tray
Control Panel
Start Menu Panel (main)
Start Menu -> Programs
If you could create an option to allow the user to create a quick access shortcut in one or more of those locations, then I think you'll probably make everyone's day.
Other than that, the application looks much nicer and more powerful than the default WM clock/alarm utility. Great job!
Looks good , like to see the update with a short cut to. Thanks for your hard work .

Possible to set multiple alarms ?
Not working
I was looking forward to this program but it doesn't work for me.
a- I can't use the tray icon. I NEVER look at the today screen.
b- I can't select an MP3. It doesn't show any.
I need to be able to run it from a shortcut.
I am hoping it will work soon. I'll even donate $10 if it works.
Thanks,
Jeannette

Currently the default one does and any alternate alarm program I get must at bare minimum, have teh same features as the default alarm, plus of course the addition creature features. So multi alarm would have to be there in order for me to use it.
I am happy with the default alarm to be honest. My ONLY grief is the lack of MP3 support for setting the alarm sounds. The SpoonAlarm looks good but if teh curently functionality is missing at all then it does me no good and I will stick with the default alarm. I just have to convert MP3 sounds to wave and make sure they are in the windows folder, a pain but it works.
Is there a way SpoonAlarm can map to the alarm icon (next to the clock) in HTCHome? Looks like a good basic alarm app though. A lot of these alarm apps have horrible looking UI's with non touch friendly interfaces.

Screen Alignment ?

My Leo just cant get my tap right... it's liitle bit to the left ?
Where I can find the screen alignment menu ? seems to be deleted in HD2..

Go to the settings tab and click the menu option (bottom right), which will be either "Menu" or "More" (I think they're the only 2 options). Then select "All settings" (the only menu option), System, Screen and finally the "Align Screen" button.
It's annoying that HTC decided to mess with the settings icon in the start menu. Along with getting a proper task manager (drop-down in sense style) for switching tasks, one of the first things I did with my HD2 was to enable the REAL settings icon in the start menu. You can do that with BsB Tweaks now though. But I digress
Let us know how you get on.

TMo USA HD2's don't have that item! I agree with other poster that we have been left out of that feature!
Can anyone tell me what file the icon points to so I can see if maybe Tmo USA just didn't give us an icon on the system screen?
Thanks,
Gordo
screen settings (and indeed any control panel items) arent files you can point a direct link to.
If you really can't find the screen options, then you can make your own link, the code is
24#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,7
paste into a notepad doc on the pc, save it, (example align.txt) change the align.txt to align.lnk , move the file to your phone and run it.
Better still read THIS for how and why.

Ahh, thank goodness. My screen alignment was driving me crazy, and of course, having a weird Tmous phone, the setting was nowhere where one would expect it to live in WinMo. You just made my phone 100% more lovable.
I have a problem with my screen alignment although I'm not sure it's the same problem as above.
Since updating my phone to the latest official ROM yesterday my home screen has shifted up by about 3mm.
My network indication is now partially hidden by the Start and notification bar at the top and a small strip of the basic WinMo wallpaper is visible below the Home/People/Messages/etc bar at the bottom.
Any suggestions?
The screen option in settings is hidden on the T-Mobile HTC HD2. You can make it visible in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen
Set the value of "Hide" to 0 (currently it is 1). Then the screen option will be visible in the system folder under all settings.
hopes it helps

[Q] N4 settings menu won't open

Hi,
My Nexus 4 is running completely stock 4.2.2, it's not even unlocked let alone rooted (first phone I've felt happy enough without root) and was running fine until yesterday when it ran out of storage space and gave me a warning. So i uninstalled a couple of games, hoping to free up a couple of gigs.
Now though, i can't get to the settings menu or any associated screen. I can toggle the quick settings from the pull down menu, but if try to enter the main settings menu it briefly flashes up and then closes. It's the same if i try to access settings through the launcher, and if i try to get to any settings menu via other means (ie. long press an icon in Nova and select 'app info' or 'uninstall') the associated menu again just flashes up and then vanishes within a split second as if I've pressed back straight away.
Nothing else seems out of the ordinary - apps update, i can get to the play store, apps run fine, just the settings menu.
Any ideas? I can't find anything similar searching here or elsewhere. I've obviously rebooted the phone but without access to the settings i have no idea what else i can change. I'd factory reset but I've not backed up a couple of apps and usb debugging is off so i can't use Carbon (for some reason it's always had problems keeping the initial enabling and needs plugging in regularly),and i can't use Titanium without root so i wanted to see if anyone had any bright ideas first
Perhaps there's a way to just reset the settings menu? I've no idea what it's process is, but some action similar to "clear app data" should reset it :/ Just brainstorming here.
if nothing helps do a factory reset. your apps will come back automatically through the play store when you log in.you'll loose your highscores but most apps are cloud driven anyway,

Sorry for the OT but is that a genuine quote in your sig?!
Anyway @OP I think factory resetting is probably your only viable solution here, it's a very odd issue and there's not much you can do to solve it without a settings menu.
You need to clear the data for settings. Install titanium backup and see if you can. You'll need to root it first though. Crap..I forgot forgot you said you arnt rooted.

Cheers for the suggestions, was hoping there would be a fix but I guess a factory reset in the morning it is.
Frustrating as this sort of thing really shouldn't be happening out of the blue from a stock phone - it's a fairly huge bug!
Ironic that I resisted rooting to ensure I kept the reliable and simple experience of the nexus, only for it to be what stopped me fixing it when it broke :-\
Won't make that mistake again!
This probably won't work but try opening your quick toggles then long pressing on wifi or bluetooth, that's supposed to take you to those individual settings. Then if you hit the icon in the top left you may be able to get back to the main settings.

Nope, sadly does the same thing - the settings menu briefly flashes open before closing.

Hey OP, did you figure it out yet? I just noticed that trebuchet launcher allows you to go into settings via a shortcut in the app launcher. Probably won't work, but hey. Try another launcher?
Yes cheers a factory reset wasn't needed in the end - I worked out the problem.
I've been using my sim with my n4 as well as my new HTC one and hot swapping between the two for a week or so. I also have avast installed on the n4 which has an option 'disable settings when no sim inserted' which I'd forgotten about.
I only thought of it because when I initially took the sim out I got an email saying 'warning unauthorised sim inserted, id: {null}' or similar.
It didn't work with my sim installed either but I logged into avast, turned that setting off and everything was back to normal. Turned the setting back on now (once the sim was in) as it's obviously going to be an absolute pain for thieves too!
I guess it's a problem with hot swapping the sim while avast was running, the switch didn't get triggered even when I reinserted it? Either way now it just means I turn the n4 off before removing the sim now!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Haha, at least you now experienced first hand how secure your settings menu is. :laugh:
Exactly what I was thinking! Nice it gave no clue why it was happening and if I didn't know the password for avast it would have made life very difficult as it also disabled usb debugging, so anyone who wanted to wipe the phone would have needed some serious android knowledge.

Home button long press

If I accidentally long press my home button it opens the Google App. Is there anyway to disable this? I can't find it.
I think if you go into Applications and clear the defaults for the Google App it will stop that. The next time you long press it will ask you what you want it to do as the default. I don't recall what the options are after that.
Thx it was in applications but, the tab default applications. Than "app device support" than you can choose for Google App, svoice, grenify or none. Thx for guiding me to the right direction.

I've tried this but Now on tap is still the default one, I've checked for Now on Tap in settings but can't see anything.
Go to Settings->Applications->Default Applications->Device Assistance App and between "Google Now" and "None", select "None" and you're good to go

Ok I've done that, however now when I press and hold the home button nothing happens....I've also reset the Svoice defaults ?
The strange thing is whilst I'm connected to my Bluetooth car kit if I hold down the talk button it asks what to set as default, once S Voice is set I then try the home button but still nothing ?
Bump
I've managed to get S-Voice back, in case anyone else has the same issue this is what you do....
Enable the Quick Dial option under Galaxy Labs,

this then enables S-Voice and then you should see it under the Device assistance app setting
This has took me several days off messing around ?

If your recents button is broken, how did you get to the recents screen shown in your attachment?
There's an app called HomeBot that will let you customize what a long press home button does, including showing Recents.

My Thoughts EXACTLY Juanito157! I just don't understand why the Hell these companies feel the need to "VIGOROUSLY FIX" SH!TE THAT ISN'T BROKEN!! And 9 times out of 10, they Remove or "Hide" options and widgets that were Just Perfectly Fine where they Freakin were to begin with. I Swear between my PC's, Android Devices, Gaming Systems and others like FireTV Box etc... I Must waste on average, at LEAST a Hour, Almost Every Damn Day, Just WATCHING & WAITING for UPDATES! It's getting really Outa Hand & Insane Lol.... Anyway's, So Sorry for the Rant, a little off topic... BUT YES, PLEASE Let us know if anyone has found a way to Revert or Change back to the way Google was before they HAD TO "FIX" IT ; ¤ }
I loved it because I could long press Home & "Force" Copy /Paste Info from almost anywhere, Even Screen Shot Pics. Now, If this feature is still available and I'm just being a Moron, Which is very possible, can someone Chime in and Help a guy out Please!
*** And I know that there are 3rd Party Apps that will do the "Copy Anywhere" thang... It was just NICE & CONVENIENT having the option built right into Google..
THX & AS ALWAYS, XDA IS THE SH!TE!!

Can't answer calls?

Does anyone else have this issue? Most of the time, when somebody calls, I get nothing that comes up on my screen. It's totally blank, no options to answer or reject the call.
I've factory reset a couple times, once when unlocking the bootloader to root it (this was after it happened with stock OS).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Some calls work, most don't...
Yes!
I have the same issue on my Oneplus 8 Pro!
It's an awful bug.
---------- Post added at 20:02 ---------- Previous post was at 20:01 ----------
I've found a temporary solution : I've installed a third phone app, set it as default phone app, and then set the OnePlus phone app as default again.
after reboot, the issue is gone for a few days.
but it come again...
Maybe it can work for you too?

I've found a temporary solution : I've installed a third phone app, set it as default phone app, and then set the OnePlus phone app as default again.
after reboot, the issue is gone for a few days.
but it come again...
Maybe it can work for you too?

I do have the should I answer app installed which is supposed to be set as the primary dialer, and does have its own UI for answering calls, but that doesn't come up either. Even when swapping from one to the other, rebooting or not.
I had a chat with OnePlus, they told me to reset my network settings which I did, and it began to work just fine, but today it's doing it again and I've done nothing to the phone. Changed no settings, installed no apps, etc...
My solution is, answering a call by holding the phone to the ear (in quick gestures, lift to answer or something alike (I'm Dutch))
It doesn't show the button but it works
Honestly,
I have had many phones... LG Gx, Galaxy Sx, Huawei PxxPro, and the OnePlus 6.
The OnePlus 6 was my best experience.
But I'm very disappointed about the amount of bugs on this 1000€ OnePlus 8 Pro...
I think I found the solution... I might be wrong, need to do more testing.
Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization > Tap the 3 dots at the top right corner and select Advanced optimization
On that screen, I disabled the "Sleep standby optimization" and so far it's worked perfectly.
I did this because a lot of my apps, with and without optimization would not give me notifications until I unlocked me phone, as though my phone was deep sleeping. Makes me wonder if this was preventing the phone app from displaying the UI because it was in too deep of a sleep.
This is already disabled on mine, and I have the issue [emoji6]
Do you guys use Android auto? I was having this issue after disconnecting from my car and car mode is still running.
Hey, it may be the cause!
How did you solve that?
@smalltownbird ?
I don't really know. I factory reset and it has been fine.

Short term solution is, after you unplug from your car, in your notifications it says something like driving mode enabled. Click it and you should be able to answer calls again.

15 days ago, I have clicked on the option to avoid this notification to display (on the notification option). [emoji26][emoji26]
Can you tell me the name of the app who "send" this notification? So that I can re-enable it?
I did the same thing, that's why I factory reset. I could not find it anywhere to reenable.
I've tried to clear cache and data from android auto. I'll see if it works the next time I take my car
Maybe you can try something to help me?
When the notification is displayed, you swipe it on the left, and click on the wheel : the name of the app I'll be displayed on top.
See the pictures above

It didn't work [emoji29][emoji29]
So, I've found the answer
It's true, it's related to the driving mode.
As I have chosen, a few weeks ago to hide the notification related to the "driving mode" still open when I leave my car, I was fxcked.
I've wipe cache of the phone app : no result
I've reset presets of the phone on android settings : no results.
I've wiped cache of the phone : victory : the problem is solved : I have the notification to close the "driving mode" still open.
So if you want to do the same thing :
Power off your OnePlus 8 Pro.
Push power and low volume at the same tame until the phone ask you your code .
You now select English language, wipe cache and data, wipe cache, ok and then reboot.
Don't wipe data, just cache, or you will loose all your datas [emoji6]
How has it been working for you? I still have the issue even after doing what your said.
