What was Samsung thinking with S-Health! - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General

The update is from 4/17.
1) The new widget can now take you to only the Steps item. No longer can you tap on different parts of the widget and go to the main app, Steps, or Heart Rate.
2) The S-Cover S-Health widget no longer works properly. You have to open the cover, unlock the phone, then you can close the cover and use the widget.
WTH?!

I definately don't like the new s-health update. You have to add the other programs to the bottom of the home page.

I stop using shealth when I got my fitbit surge, but I do wish I could sync my fitbit with shealth

The only things that I use s-health for is the occasional pulse check and to check the UV. If it wasn't for that, I'd have killed it a long time ago, just so the phone would stop incessantly reminding me to turn on the stupid pedometer that I have absolutely no use for. I have a fitbit one, but even if I didn't, I sure wouldn't go everywhere with my phone attached to me.

I'm so angry at Samsung. This new update is the completely reworked version with the material design. But they couldn't wait a few weeks to fix the bugs, they had to rush it out.
I forgot to mention, there's now no audio cues to indicate if the heart rate monitor is finished with a measurement. Grrrr!

That's really annoying. Maybe try turning pedometer on and off?

You can not turn off the pedometer in the new update to S-Health. Can pause it but not turn it off.

I wonder if I can rollback s-health to a point where I can shut it off. The pedometer notification comes up. I swipe it away and 15 minutes later, it's back. I'm never going to use the damned pedometer. I should be able to kill the notification.

Yep, I'm hating it as well. I can't launch the heartrate monitor from the widget, and I really liked the transparent widgets. Theres no reason why those options couldn't have been included in the update. Post a review and complaint like everyone else in the google play store.. maybe they'll rethink and fix the damned thing's functionality.

No carbs in food summary
The feature that I least like about the new S-Health is that a total carb count in no longer shown at the food summary - just calories. I keep un-installing the new "update" and reverting back to the green S-Health version that shows the carb count at the summary. I turned off auto-updated in Google play but the new version still reloads every couple of days.

I have the mid alpha 2 and wish shealth would sync with it. But I know that Samsung would never do that as they want you to buy their own smartwatch.

Make sure you have the auto update turned off in the Samsung app store as well.

How do you do that? Not seeing that on the built in version of apps on the Note with the Lollipop update.

There have been some S-Health updates since, and it is keeping getting better and better
Widgets have also been updated.

Gallery app locking up

Just recently purchased the S-View case for the Note 3. Since then, the Gallery app seems to lockup. When you clear the cache you get a little further, but lets say I want to delete a photo. It locks up and eventually says "Gallery has stopped responding. Do you want to close it?". In my pinion, this phone is junk and don't get me started on the Bluetooth functionality.

If it's anything like the galaxy note 10.1 there's some syncing bug that causes it to just stall for hours. I just use quickpic as the gallery app MUCH MUCH MUCH faster.

Brief app (by Flipboard) not working...

I discovered that the Brief app was not working on my T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge. The little loading circle icon would just go round-n-round and nothing would happen. I could not access Brief in the App Manager but I did find it in the Google Play Store. But you can't update or uninstall it. I left an unfavorable review and I heard back today from Samsung tech support. Apparently there is a bug in that app and they are working on it. Just a heads up in case anyone is having the same issue as I am.
I turned mine off and I don't like to use it. However I tried it to help you out and see if it's a problem with the app. I experience the same thing you did. So you are not alone.
Started working for me all I did was flip back and forth a couple of times.

Brief finally started working today...I didn't update it or anything but I did turn the phone off/on. At least Flipboard was pretty quick about fixing the bug. The funny thing is the full Flipboard app lets you choose way more news categories to subscribe to then Brief. Maybe I'll just turn off Brief and just use the full app.
This happened to me when I got the phone on Tuesday. It fixed itself just like yours did. And also like you, I found that it isn't nearly as good as the full app, so I turned it off.

Screen Turns on Every 6 Hours

My 6P, like every other Android device I have had, turns the screen on every day at 12:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM. It has to be an app that I install on all my Android devices, but I have been unable to nail it down. I am running the latest 7.1.1 dev preview. I'm not rooted. Does anyone know of a program I can install that will tell me which app is activating my screen every 6 hours? Sometimes the screen will only stay on for a short while, while other times, if I don't catch it, the screen will stay on for several minutes (of course eating the battery).
If anyone can help with an app suggestion or other ideas to find out which app is doing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
No one has a suggestion for an app that can tell me which app is turning on the screen every six hours?
Oh and there should be a 6:00 AM in there as well.
I guess the best way would be to go through the logs?? Not sure of any app as such.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Are there not apps that show wakelocks? Isn't turning on the screen even worse than a wakelock? I'm surprised that no one else has this issue. I can't be the only one that has an app that does this. Someone else must load the same app but to date I haven't been able to figure out which app does it or find anyone else who has the same app and problem.
Also, not sure where to even find the logs you speak of? Can anyone help or at least point me in the direction that I can read up on and try to find out which app it might be? Thanks.
You won't see anything unless you are rooted.
Only you can find the app.
Use dichotomy
Uninstall apps from A to M.
Test
OK go on with installing from N to S
NOT OK uninstall from F to M.
Test
etc..
For 128 apps you'll need 7 tests.
For 256 apps you'll need 8 tests.
Have fun ?

LOL...Yeah, I thought about this but c'mon...that's crazy to go app by app to try and find the culprit. Really don't want to root on the Beta Program with this phone so that's not going to happen. Sucks there isn't an app that could let me know which app is turning on the screen at that time without root. I tried GSam Battery Monitor, but it was no help unfortunately.
I was referring to logcat, but I assumed that we could make use of root, it's a lot harder without root. If you pulled a logcat to schedule a min before and end a minute after the event, it would be more than enough to find what's triggering the screen wake..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yeah, sorry, no root. I usually don't bother rooting my phones. At least the pure Nexus phones. Really no need to with straight Android and consistent updates from Google. Guess I'll never know what app is doing it. Oh well.
Depends... I personnaly don't need a specific ROM, I might need a kernel for better battery. But I definitely need root. Why? Because of exactly this: logcat on all processes and wakelocks monitoring ?
And more generally because I want to access to all features of my phone.
Oh don't get me wrong, I know why people root. I just couldn't be bothered to do it myself with a phone that runs pure Android like the 6P. I never said there was no reason to root, just said I don't do it myself.
Maybe list all your apps here?
sent from my pixelated Nexus 6p
Hmmmm....that would be a pretty big list.
hard to help you then. without knowing what you have on it, how can we make a suggest? frankly, it will take time to chase it down as you dont want to root.

Yeah, I get that. In order to root, I need to unlock the bootloader right? So total wipe. Really don't want to wipe and start over. Thanks anyway. Wish there was an app that didn't need root that would tell me which app is the cause. I have 123 apps installed. Would take forever to list them here.

this happens with mine too, i am using resurrection remix MM.
but happens with whatever rom base i am.
i dont have ambient display on or anything like daydream.
and it happens randomly, i think it is the proximity sensor that turns it on by itself.
because the way it happens for me is ,i grab the phone and dont even press any button and it turns itself on
but i think it could be caused by the 'double tap to wake' gesture , do you have the option 'prevent accidental wake up' in the settings? it checks the proximity sensor prior to waking up the device, i personally havent tried this option yet, but i think this could fix the issue.
I don't have ambient display on either, but I can't imagine it is a proximity sensor issue. It happens every 6 hours right on the hour. Every day, every 6 hours, on schedule. An app has to be waking the screen.
Um, so @pickupman66, you ask me to list my apps and I did. Now what?

Calendar notifications not working

So my calendar notifications have been weird since the day I got my S8, they only seem to work when it feels like working..
I've just missed an appointment because I didn't get a notifications (I set 3), is there a solution?
Two things I found online, first one worked for a day or two, second one apparently did the trick:
Disable battery saving per app - you have to do this for each app you don't get notifications from
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/fix-delayed-notifications-your-galaxy-s8-s8-0177437/
Disable Google app - apparently Google app causes problems, so you have to disable it. Just the Google app, nothing else by Google.
Also you have to check enabled notifications: Settings - Notifications - Calendar

I've started a new thread about this one.
Do you mean disable google in settings->applications->application manager->google app (it is now saying disabled on my device).
I'm curious if this is gonna do the trick. I'll try and come bazck if it does not.
I't is strange that there are not MORE people complaining about this, maybe no one uses calendar apps.
I have the same issue on my note 8, I try everything to make the calendar notifications working but nothing seems to work.
I've search for a solution all around the web but there's no way...
I'm having the same problem from day one! I hoped Oreo fw wouldn't have this problem anymore but unfortunately it's still there. It's driving me nuts!
How the hell did Samsung not fix this already? Calendar application should be one of the most important apps in a smartphone. Yet it's totally unreliable and there is no solution for this! It probably has something to do with aggressive power saving.
Anyone found a way to fix this?
Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
My solution to this and whole lot of other notifications is disabling Doze through adb:
Code:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

Well, I have the same problem, and I tried everything with samsung center, because I have J5 (2017) android 7.0 OS, but they did not help in any way. I found solution on forums, that works for me, and it is app on google play named "calendar notifier". It automaticly sinc with your calendar, and it plays any sound you choose for alarming, until you dissmiss it. It may happend that you hear 2 sounds, one from calendar it selfe, and one from calenad notifier, but you will not miss the appointment....
Any updates?
Has anyone heard of a forthcoming solution on this?
My only "fix" has been to disable the Google App except that app is how I launch commands for Google Home. Without it I cannot use my phone to take actions for my smart home devices. So it's a bit of an inconvenience for me. Plus surely there are people out there that like using the native google search capability on their phone while still getting notifications from apps.
I say from apps by the way as it's not just an issue exclusive to my calendar. When I have Google enabled it works for a while, but then will stop and many things stop. Text notification indicators, facebook notification indicators, calendar appointment notifications etc.
Do we need to be contacting Samsung support through their website or have people done this and it just doesn't help?
It's a bug in Android and it will be solved in next big update hopefully. Until then workaround is to use this app:

FANTASTIC INFO. Thank you. Glad to see it's in the works for correction. Seemed like quite a large issue to have even happened and not being repaired quickly. But I suppose I don't know the complexities of what caused this or the best solution to fix it. Just seems like a lot of people rely on calendars and appointment reminders not working would be a big **** storm for them.
Just chiming in to let you know I'm having the same problem on my Note 8! It was working for a few months and then stopped! Tried clearing cache, data, and many other "fixes" that I've since forgotten. Nothing works. Recently got the Oreo update and SAME problem!! Really annoying! Maybe it's Google sabotage?! They are trying to control everything! Btw, downloaded the Google calendar app but I don't like it!
I had used successfully the adb doze disable on command prompt but my phone just "upgraded" to Oreo 8.0.0 and now my calendar notifications have stopped working again!!! I had a functioning calendar finally but now it's gone again!!! I ran the adb command line again (adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable) but still no notifications! I cleared data, checked the app wasn't optimized and reverted to stock calendar but nothing! Does anyone know another command line to stop this doze crap in 8.0.0??? This is why I dread EVERY "upgrade"! How could they take this away from me again???!!! I used to love Samsung but now I hate it!!!
I did the device doze disable using SDK tools and this worked for months then it stopped notifications again... sometimes! Besides making calls this is the number one thing I need from my phone and it still doesn 't work! Anyone ever find a solution to this because I still need one! Using Android 8.0! I was using Calendar Events app, worked for a while then quit. Same with Calendar Notifier and Calendar Snooze app. Plus a number of other apps designed to work with the calendar. I've been relying on my calendar since my Galaxy S2!
I stopped using calendar notifications because of this issue. I have very spotty wifi and mobile data, I found that calendar notifications would only work with a data connection. Typically, I'd set a notification, but remember the appointment anyway. About 10 minutes in the car, data finally connects, the 30 minute old notification finally goes off....
It's a dismal state of affairs when the consumer becomes the software tester with such an essential device.
Well,this is weird. My Whatsapp notifications weren't working. When I set the notification in the app ,you can select the app that chooses the file eg Chomp(SMS), Audio files,Themes,Music.
Intutively, I chose Audio files, and that appears to work, but Whatsapp produced no sound on incoming messages. When I chose Chomp to select the MP3 file, it seems to work OK. I'll play a bit more and report back.
Cheers

Disable Battery Optimization

So it looks like there are many people having issues with the battery optimization feature, which lets me guess oneplus is already aware of the problem. My question is if there is a way to disable the optimization completely for now until oneplus has sorted things out.
Since the last update it is so aggressive, it kills youtube's connection to my chromecast every few minutes, rendering all control features unuseable as I always have to reconnect before I can do anything. This also makes my wearOS watch unuseable as it also depends on the phone keeping the connections alive.
You can turn off Optimization for YouTube and WearOS
Settings > Apps & Notifications > Special app access
You can turn off optimization for any app, and see the advanced in the 3 dot menu. I had the same problem with my watch, turned off the watch app and helper, now works great. I also turned off messenger, no problems now.

I also would like to know if this is possible in an easy way. I don't want to disable it for 256 apps independently.

Thanks for the reply!
That setting was the first thing I checked and already disabled optimization for the wearOS and cast apps which work fine now. Unfortunately it won't let me disable it for the youtube app as it handles that one as a system app. As long as youtube is not allowed in the background wearOS has nothing to communicate with so I still can't control it.
That's why my next thought was if I can't disable it for system apps maybe there is a way to completely disable it until oneplus has the problem solved. I know that solution would suck but at the moment I am forced to use another phone to use youtube properly which sucks even more imo.

I would love to try this but I am unrooted. Youtube should be on the list but it is not, I am guessing that is because it comes preinstalled, the playstore app isn't there as well for example.
I know this is an old thread, but the more I use my new phone, the more I believe this to be the issue with my Gmail app constantly putting my Exchange accounts back to 30 minute fetch. And, I cannot disable battery optimization on Gmail because it's a system app (and I do not want to root). For now, every other day, I have to tell the device that it really is OK for Gmail to remain constantly connected to my Exchange account, that I actually prefer it to be. I've made it to 54 hours with my normal use (OVER 7 HRS S.O.T), not trying to stretch it at all, no battery saving features on whatsoever. So it's safe to say I can afford for Gmail to stay connected with Exchange. The optimization is a bit too aggressive for not allowing system apps to be excluded.
I've also had issues with Google Assistant not reminding me about reminders that are clearly in the list of her reminders, and I think this to be the culprit as well, and again, can't disable it because it's not on the list.

Having exactly same problems with gmail and chrome (html5 push notifications). I am rooted. So I am considering to mark those apps as non system apps, but still not sure if this won't brake future updates or something.
