[Q] Heart rate monitor broken? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got a s5, immediately rooted and installed xposed with the tethering module. Then did the build prop fix to stop health service force closing issue.
I went to try the heart rate monitor and it doesn't work, it acts like my finger isn't there at all.
Any way to fix this? I've tried force closing the app, clearing all data, rebooting.

Unfortunately, S Health has stopped

So I had this lovely pop up on my phone last night. The message was "Unfortunately, S Health has stopped" along with the "OK" button. The kicker was that after clearing it, it would pop back up after a few seconds. I cleared the cache to no avail. I rebooted to just have it pop back up after it fully loaded all the apps. Battery pull rendered the same results.
My phone is all stock - with no crazy updates or recent app downloads that I could point to as potentially causing the issue.
I did find one resolution - I thought I'd mention it here in case others find themselves in this situation. Between clearing the pop up message - work your way to the Settings->Applications->Application Manager. From there - scroll down to S Health and once selected you can turn it off.
Now - I kind of liked having the pedometer - so I was trying to get it up and running again without doing a factor reset. I found that clearing the app data, deleting cache and uninstalling the update did the trick. I had to do it 2 times with reboots after clearing out all the data before it ultimately came back without issues. I had to recreate my profile again and historical data seems to have been lost.
I'm not sure if there might have been a better way to do it - but just thought I'd mention this issue here.

[Q] Anybody else's heart rate monitor gone after S Health update?

I noticed today after receiving an update to S Health 3.2.0.0011, that my heart rate scanner app has completely disappeared from S health with no clear means of getting it back, was this purposely done by Samsung?, and why?
try uninstalling update, clear cache and update again...

Trouble with sensors after the recent update

This is a problem I didn't notice right away. I attribute it to the QF2 update because wife also has an S7 and experiences exactly the same issue.
In a matter of hours after reboot the internal sensors stop working or behave erratically. Sometimes the phone would go to the lowest brightness, the screen will not turn off by the proximity sensors during a conversation. Functions relying on shaking the phone stop working. Some (but for some reason not all) apps don't switch to the landscape mode. I downloaded several sensor testing apps and they confirmed my suspicions. After the reboot everything works, but several hours later sensors start showing random values or "no data".
Does anyone else have the same problem? With two affected phones in my possession it can't be a random fluke.
The phones are not rooted.
I had an issue where the phone no longer responded to "OK Google". Turns out I uninstalled all the updates to the "Google" app and reinstalled them from Google Play and that fixed it. I wasn't sure if it was the OTA for the phone or something else, but the OTA might have jacked something up somewhere. Have you cleared cache and such to see if that fixes it? Otherwise, I'm having no issues with the sensors not working.
Thanks for your suggestion. My phones are set for manual updates. I updated everything and rebooted. The sensors worked fo about 12 hours and stopped. Which cache you recommend to purge? Google app?

Sensors stop working after a while. Reboot fixes them.

I have been having a problem lately, I feel like it was started after the last OTA (Verizon). After a while, some of my sensors stop producing data. Most notably the compass, magnetic, and gyro. I use the magnetic sensor in a tasker task to launch car mode when I stick my phone to the car dock (it is a Spindo magnetic dock). I was having troubles with the task executing and exiting car mode when I removed my phone and noticed that the magnetic sensor wasn't producing data anymore. I looked closer using an app and noticed that a lot of my sensors stop working at this time. I am not sure if it only happens now when I use the dock, or if it just happens after a period of time. But rebooting it will bring the sensors back to life.
Anyone see this before? Any ideas on causes/fixes?
Just an update, it does not seem to be tied to using the magnetic dock. I rebooted my phone before lunch and I used the dock twice after and it was still working. On my way back from lunch I noticed the sensors had stopped working at some point after that.
Anyone have ideas on this?

Any solution?
Have you found any solution? My at&t s7 started having this same problem. All the sensors just stop working and I have to reboot my phone for a temp fix. I have also noticed it gets hot around the same time it happens. Does your phone become noticeably hot?
Nope. Haven't found a solution. I haven't noticed my phone getting hot either though.

[Q] SM-N900V Intermittent WiFi Modem

My Note 3 has recently started having an issue where it would randomly disable WiFi and when I go to re-enable it the icon partially lights up for a minute as if it is working on it and then after a little while it will go out again and stay disabled. Does anyone know what may cause this?
Would a bad battery which has expanded cause this? The phone feels like the battery may be a bit bloated again.
A couple weeks ago I had the same issue and Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Slides were all launching themselves non-stop, I had to close them and then quickly force stop and uninstall them before they came up again and blocked me. After these apps were removed I was able to connect to WiFi again. It seemed like they were taking up all of my processing power so the phone could not finish starting the wifi modem. But now I am stumped as to why the wifi will not turn on this time. No apps seem to be trying to take over the screen like the Gsuite apps did.
I still don't know why the Gsuite apps started misbehaving out of nowhere. Any insight on that would be great too.
Thank you.
Replacing the battery with one that is less bloated appears to have resolved the wifi issue. But some apps keep stopping randomly.
