N9005 ND3 issues - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
Its been a few days after ive updated my note 3 to nd3 (im using n9005 malaysia).
Didnt notice anything strange until I bought my gear 2 today.
I tried to find my s voice in the app drawer and the settings but couldnt find it.
I remember disabling s voice last time and now after the update even the disabled apps tab (menu key in app drawer) is also missing.
It was replaced with hidden apps instead.
Someone help me please.

Double tapping home doesn't turn it on? Did you disable this?

I did disable s voice before the update to nd3.
now I couldnt find it in the app drawer. Heck svoice tab on settings were also missing.
Weird thing I notice is that last time u can disable apps thru app drawer.
Now the option is missing and replaced by hide applications.

If you disabled it, is it not under Turned Off apps in Application Manager?

[Q] Weird Problem

I rooted my M and installed the original leaked JB from Moto the day it was available. Today I installed Safestrap 3.07 and created a backup of my current image. Done deal, works fine.
The weird problem is that my launcher doesn't stay active any longer. I use Smart Launcher Pro and have been for a while. Once I rebooted, created a backup with SS, then the default launcher came up and I can't change it.
Any ideas? Silly issue, but if I'm doing something incorrect, I need to know so I don't keep either making the same mistake or become increasingly frustrated trying to work it out.
Thanks folks.
Figured it out. Undefaulted the home screen in Apps cache and made super launcher default.

Can you tell me how to do that? I am having the same issue.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Running
Click on "Show Cached Programs" in the upper right corner
Find Home Screen and click it. then find the Cache section of the app and clear it
Then when you go back to the home screen, a dialogue box will pop up asking you which program you want to use as a launcher. Select what you want and click "Always".
Worked like a champ for me, hope it does for you.

Air Gesture not working

Hi... sorry for my bad english
I've just bought GS4 since yesterday and I found an odd problem...
When I enable the air gestures for example air jump, air move etc. none of them works.
but when I try the training section they work correctly...
even It's icon doesn't appear on the status bar, but it appears when Im trying the tutorial... and It just disappears when i go back to the menu..
And I have not installed any rom or update yet...
any Idea?
oh I got why it was happening...

How did you resolve? Mine are enabled but don't seem to work, or work very rarely

I found that when u enable it, it just works when on certain situations... for example when u are viewing pics u can go to next pic with air gesture or when u have a call u can answer it... but when there's no use for air gesture for example when u are in menu it's automatically disabled...

I'm in the same boat. Air View works maybe 10% of the time across all apps that support it. The odd thing is that I took my new S4 into an AT&T store to see if they could figure it out. They checked all the settings, which were correct. They were stumped also. We could get it to work rarely, just enough to frustrate you. There were two guys trying to figure it out. They finally just gave me a new phone. We set it up for my account etc., loaded everything from the cloud backup, and what the hell the new one does the exact same thing. We just sat there and looked at it in disbelief. We must have played with both phones for an hour and a half and made no progress. I even started deleted various apps (I don't have a lot), but nothing. I'm totally stumped.
did you guys figure out anything, because my sgs4 gestures do not work at all, none of them, and they are ALL switched on in settings...
Very odd...
I used to have problem with air gesture .but noe its working good .
Check that
menu-my device-accesibility-put magnification gestion to off
AHA about Gestures not working!
For some reason, Samsung has hidden toggles for the gesture features WITHIN the gesture features... what I mean is if you toggle ON the gesture called "air gesture", NOTHING WILL HAPPEN unless you then tap to the LEFT of the toggle switch, and go INTO the Air Gesture sub-menu. Once you are in there, there are 5 OTHER toggles which must also be on if you want to use all the air gesture features.... WEIRD that Samsung did this without saying "Tap Here to select Air Gesture features" or something...
Mark.

How to disable S Finder

S finder is bugging me. It pops every time i hold the menu button instead of apps built in search function. Is there a way to reverse tihs behaviour.

Me too. Would love it to behave as note 2.

You'll probably have to root and freeze or uninstall S-Finder.
Found one solution: Tasker profile
Trigger:
Variable Set: %WIN
Value: S Finder
Action:
Open Google search
You NEED to enable tasker service from Settings -> Device -> Accessibility -> Under Services there is "Tasker - JB"
CAUTION! This will disable one handed "windowed" mode for some reason.
Only way i have found to use menu key as Google now, but really bad way since it breaks windowed mode.
And why so hard way? because for some reason Tasker doesn't show S Finder in app list...
Also made post to Tasker group
Yes. This has to get fixed

If you don't care about using S Finder, you can freeze it in Titanium.

This only stops S Finder to appear, I want to use app's built in search function with holding menu button.
same here, S Finder is easy to freeze, but the TouchWiz must try to start google, instead if internal bloat.
For me, if I hold the search menu, it will start Google search... But if I hold it a little more, s finder will start. I'm using a third party launcher (nova launcher) which has an option for the menu button... But this does not disable s finder from appearing.
If my device is not rooted, is there a way to freeze s finder?
This is pissing me off too. I got svoice disabled (double tapping home) but not svoice.
Anyone else have a crack at this? I can't get it to disable in the applications menu. It's greyed out.
Some launchers let you set the options.
Otherwise, don't think you can without rooting. Irritatingly, because S Finder keeps running and I never have nor ever will use it. I remember where I keep things...
ShadowLea said:
Install a different launcher. It lets you set the button controls. (Apex, Nova, Next, TSF..)

this does not completely work...
I have Nova Launcher... and when I select Google Search for the menu button, yes it will lanch Google... but if I hold it a little more, S Finder will open over Google Search.
I hope there's a solution for this. It's an annoying "feature".

This is great for those of use that have already rooted our Note 3's, but with the Knox warranty issue I was hoping to find a solution that doesn't require root access. I have several friends with Note 3's that aren't rooted.

It prevents s finder from opening but holding menu button still does not activate apps built-in search function.

[Q] Samsung Keyboard - Language change - icon or spacebar ?

I have a Note 3 and suddenly out of nothing the keyboard changed template and instead changing languages by long pressing+sliding the space bar it now shows a globe icon wich must be pressed to select the language.
I have already messed with all possible settings in order to go back to the space bar method wich is much faster with no success.
I know it worked on the space bar way until a few days ago, and I see there was a Samsung Keyboard Update wich was installed.
Have someone here the same issue ? Anyone knows if it is possible to go back to the previous behavior ?
Thanks for any help on this.
Me too having same problem
I actually got the swipe for different language. but all of a sudden the globe appeared. i seriously dont know what i did. tried resetting keyboard settings. nothing works. thebutton takes spaceand irritating while typing.
Same here, it working fine. but suddenly have globe icon and everything mess up... then few days lster, keyboard suddenly back to normal and everything is fine again. This happened couple times and each time it last few days. Anyone know why and how to solve this permanently? Thanks for your help. ..

OK so I noticed that when I turn off the accessibility of my Pebble app (I have a Pebble watch) under settings, I can swipe the spacebar to change the input language but right when I turn on the accessibility of my Pebble app, I can no longer swipe the spacebar. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Thank you luckybun.
It worked for me, only the accessibility setting was for FBQuickview (that works with the Galaxy Gear). I disabled it under the accessibility setting and the spacebar started working again as a language changer.

OK! But...
I have 7 apps in accessibility list... And I DO want to use at least 4 of them...
Wristn - forwarding notifications to Sony SmartWatch
LastPass - filling passwords inside apps
NiLS Service - collect notifications in lock screen similar to iPhone
Desktop Notifications - forward notifications to browser plugins for Chrome and Firefox for displaying it at desktop
if I enable any of them, spacebar disables language switch function
I solved the issue by deactivating the Speed+ engine under Accessibility

HELP! NFC Permanently Disabled on S10 Plus

My NFC toggle on the pull down menu is permanently disabled, and I'm not sure how. When I search NFC, and look at the app, the disable icon can't be pressed and it says the app is disabled.
However when I go to connections and choose NFC I am able to turn it on.
I don't think it's actually on though, because as I tap my phone to my SONY headphones nothing happens. I believe this is because the toggle switch is permanently disabled.
I have package disabler pro, and I removed all the apps that were disabled so everything is enabled now.
I restarted the device multiple times, but nothing works.
Not sure what is going on, but I really want to be able to connect to my headphones with NFC, bluetooth works, but it is the NFC I'm looking for.
Can someone please tell me how I can reenable it (so that I can press the button on the pull down menu)?
Thanks!
Bump! Can anyone help with this? I really don't want to factory reset my phone.
Your only option is FACTORY RESET
Thank I know that's an option. Anyone else seen this happen or know how to resolve it?
So no one else has had a similar situation to this, or knows what to do?

Long shot here, try taking the NFC button out of the drop down (long press it and move it up and out). Restart your phone, open up the drop down and put the button back in the same way. Just thinking out loud.
Ok so this is really weird. The button can't be found in the drawer anymore. It's not in my active buttons it the ones I can add. So odd.

When you go to pull down the drawer tap the 3 dots upper right and try button order or button reset to see if it come backj.
It's not there.

Have you installed any apps recently, since it started?
There could be an app that's put in place some kind of security policy that's blocked it. Like a work app?
EG: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S-Phones/Galaxy-S7-NFC-toggle-switch-disabled/td-p/79071
Or you also mention Package Disabler. Did it start happening after you started disabling packages?
hmm this is weird.. im also using package disabler pro and never had this issue. you could try one thing - using package disabler, disable all NFC services and then re-enable again - see if that helps
