Handwriting icon disappeared - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Wondered you guys run across this problem? The handwriting icon disappeared from the keyboard after a few days.
Once I do a reboot, then it is back to where it suppose to be.

Has it happened again? Or just once and fine since reboot?

I found this question at Lyn forum. It's that yours?

It happened again after restart; but not straight away. The last time it happen after around 2 days I restarted.. So it is a bit to re-produce. Now I just wait and see when it will happen again

Im also having the same problem. Using a G900F model with latest Singapore Official ROM

I know that it happened for some people right after entering and then later exiting ultra power saving mode.

dead Galaxy Note

Hi every one! Everything was ok with my GNote and for months with ics update. yesterday I tried to reboot it because the battery was empty after long time use. I connected the phone to the charger but nothing happens. I waited a few hours but nothing too. It does not pass to download mode and recovery mode too. I tried the battery on the GNote of my brother and it works and its battery does not help to boot up on my GNote. So the problem is on the phone. What is the solution please?
PS: i don't changed anything on the Gnote since Mounths
Thank you

Just a long shot, but is it a faulty battery connection on your device.
have you tried to flash another gb or ics rom?
Im guessing you run on stock ics, you could be superbricked if you deleted a big file from your phone, deleting big files could trigger the eMMC brick command. Just guessing here so i could be wrong.

Wrong.
Seems to be battery connection problem from your tests as it was said before. If your warranty is not void..should go for SAV.

i'll send it to SAV Later. Thanks for all of you
Have you tried charging your battery in your brothers note, and then placing it in yours? If your phone boots, then its a faulty connector issue.

If it was a faulty battery connection, as seems to be a consensus here, than your phone wouldn't boot at all; yet you say that you can reach Download and Recovery mode.
It's something else.
No i cant reach any mode

Unable to turn on bluetooth sometimes?

I haven't seen anybody create a thread about this, but has anyone not been able to enable their bluetooth without rebooting their device? I'll hit the bluetooth toggle in the settings and it just shots off right away. I'm not exactly sure what's causing it but I'm hoping that it's just a software issue since I use A2DP to listen to music.
EDIT: I performed a Factory Reset, I'll let you guys know if this problem still occurs.

Yeah same here, had that a while ago.. it happened after I used bluetooth for a while then switched it off, and then when I tried switching it on again after about 10-15 mins it wouldnt switch on. Had to reboot before it worked again..
Hope there's a software fix soon!

Would you recommend a factory reset?
I've had this happen occasionally on my N4, have to reboot in order to enable BT again. I'm guessing a software bug to be fixed in a future update. I doubt a factory reset will cure the problem.
Had this happen yesterday. I figured it was the nfc tag getting triggered too many times in the car mount? Simple reboot fixed it though.

I just experienced this problem as well. It was really annoying. Even toggling airplane mode wouldn't even work. On reboot, my bluetooth was already on though.

It's looking like a software problem. I wonder if people are experiencing this on CM10.

happens to me to. BT won't come on and need to reboot phone to fix issue.
i only use BT while driving as my music streams from the N4.
It's prob a software bug. i wonder if there's a service that we could kill that may get it to work again with rebooting.
Same here. Reboot fixes the issue for me.

First issue with my N4 I've experienced is this - happened just now and came looking to see if I was the only one. Normally I have alogcat installed, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Next time it happens I'll fire it up and see if there's any useful messages or not If I get any info from it I'll share it here.

malfunction?

Hello
I have a nexus 4 of 9 days, and something happens rarely.
Block the night. Remain locked at night. It may be a malfunction? or a rom problem?
Not root
Thanks

At night when the phone sits idle, the screen remains black and no longer listening.
Morning he must do a reset to start.
What could it be?
Are you rooted if not RMA that sucker sounds like you got a refurb.

may be a conflict with Smart ram booster?
Try doing factory reset and flashing the stock ROM again to see if the malfunction still happens.
If the malfunction still happens, return it to Google (RMA) for a replacement.

Ghost fingers on touch screen...??

Hi guys,
I recently bought a Google Nexus 4. Great device! But now I have a problem with the touch screen I guess.
I have some ghost touches on the screen. They are always on the same places.
To be more specific, on the same X-as of the screen. 3 to 5 touches in horizontal direction, swiping and touching the screen.
It's not always there, that's what's bothering me.. what is gods name could it be...
I'll add a screenshot of the touches when I get a chance to...
I have this problem for about a week now. And I was wondering if someone knows the solution to this.
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10.1.2
Cheers,
Alexander

I have installed the custom rom the moment I got this device. It didn't happen before.. So I doubt it is a software problem. I'd rather think of it as a hardware problem, don't you think?
No-one?
If it started on custom Rom then flash back to stock to see if it still happens. If not then there you go.
If still happens even on stock then RMA the device.

I flashed another ROM CM10.2 UNOFFICIAL. Did a clean install.
Untill now it is reacting normal.. Let's wait and see.
I am thinking, could it be of some backup settings it is recovering from my google account?
Because it has no Gapps installed yet. Downloading at the moment.
Thanks in advance
As suggested, try stock.

Ok, The CM10.2 did not work. I disabled auto backup and recovery of Google settings and stuff and flashed the Stock ROM 4.2.2.
Also there was an official update to 4.3. And surprisingly enough, the device is responding normal again. Still though, i think it was very strange that the problem was also in the recovery...

My S3 won't turn on.

One day, it randomly shuts down, and I haven't been able to turn it on ever since.
Actually, I can, but then it shuts down a few seconds after. I can't even get into recovery or download mode becasue of this.
It vibrates when I try to turn it on, if that matters.
I would try to put it in download mode, and then flash a stock fresh Rom, to see if it solves the problem.

As stated above, it won't last long enough to go into download mode.
Well, when I start in download mode, it goes straight to there, even without battery but connected to usb for example.
It should allow to do it, how do you try to go to download mode?

Is your phone an I9300 ??
I think your eMMC just died on you.
If you're in any luck it's just your battery failing. Borrow one from a friend and give it a try. My dad's gnexus was in the very same situation, turns out his battery was malfunctioning. A 3€ cheapo new one off ebay and all is well again.

It's a T-Mobile one.
I had a similar issue. My power button was stuck once pressed and therefore the boot did not get past the Samsung screen. Rebooted before it got to recovery or download. Fixed it with some oil

It's called "Sudden Death Syndrome" (or SDS), but it only affects some I9300's with 16GB of internal memory.
