S Pen Hand Writing Recognition

Hello guys.
I have been using s note hand writing recognition for a while now but today it stopped working.
I checked with a colleague at work who has a note 3 he had the same problem,
I also called some friends who owned a note 3 they all had the same problem.
I would like to know if you guys (note 3 owners) are having the same problem as well?

I just tested this:
1. Open S Note
2. Write something
3. Mark the text that i wrote
4. Click "Transform into: Text"
and it worked! Is this the same you are trying to do but it is unsuccessfull? Or anything else?
Just let me know and i'll test.

I am doing exactly the same steps that you mentioned and am still having the problem; what makes me crazy that yesterday night it was working fine and plus four other galaxy note 3 owners are having the same problem today.

I tested this and it is the same for me aswell! My steps above works, but when i try a google search and type nothing happens. It should be automatically transferred into text but the written text is not changing at all. I can paint a horse with no way of delete it other than take down and open up the "keyboard" again.
So wait - is this some kind of online service? Isnt it translated locally on the device?
Edit: To conclude, it works in some parts of the phone but does not work in others.

Action memo is working fine every where on the device what does not work is hand recognition in samsung keyboard.

If you point on the searchbox with your pen you get a little square. Point at that and google search works perfect.

Its been discussed in Q/A, if you set the date back to the 28th sept it will work again as before.
Seems to be a bug.....not good start!

this worked Perfectly, Thank You

[Q] How long do you think it will take samsung to fix the issues with the note 3?

There are several problems with the note 3 at this moment, most notably the region lock not being removed after inserting a local sim, and the multi touch issue (4.3 related?). Obviously there are things they won't want to fix (Knoxflags, flash counters etc)
How long do you think it will take them to issue an update? I mean, i have heard somewhere about them issuing an update soon for the region unlocking issue soon, but i dont know about the multi touch problems (which are very similar to the N7 2013)
In addition, do you think the community will beat them to it?

What multi-touch problems on the Note 3 are you referring to? I have not had any problem apart from the single handed gesture not working if any accessibilty functions are enabled for third party apps which also causes the stock browser to talk if enabled.

About Multi Touch, that's a hardware issue, because some phones like mine don't have it.
So send it back for a free replacement.
Region lock will probably be fixed, knox isn't a problem to "fix".

What is multi touch?

Using more than one finger on screen at once (i.e. pinch to zoom, or in games)

The Region Lock has already been dealt with by Chainfire. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/chainfire-removes-the-galaxy-note-3-n9005-region-lock/
As for the multitouch, haven't noticed it.

SOLVED!!!!
Had the same issue and its cuz the USB debugging was turned off in the Developer apps to my luck I had it on, but turned it off 1 week prior to my ph crashing... lol I tried EVERYTHING for 3 days and I'm tech savy lol What I ended up doing was using my fiance's note 3 to back up all her files via the SD card on her phone and then loaded it into mine and it worked like a charm. It's even a free app from the play store called "Root Browser" and NO you do not have to root their phone to copy their files... Copy the files, on the broken phone do the recovery mode (Volume Up + Home Key + Power Button) then load from external source. Be sure to wipe your data and all that before installing on the broken ph.... and bada-bing bada-bang! FIXED!
I suggest downloading that in the future and keeping that spare SD card in the GUN SAFE!!! just in case you happen to re-root your phone later lol
Hope this helps out since I about threw my Note 3 at the wall from all the looping frustration...lol Tried Odin, Kies3 and nothing... even the ABD cmd and no luck.... Idk why I didn't think about doing that in the past lol GOOD LUCK! :fingers-crossed:

Meizu MX5 and push notification issues

I bought them for almost two months and overall satisfied with everything except one thing - push notification issue. This is apply to all apps that owner need to be notified such as LINE, WhatsApp or even Gmail. It would happen around 1-3 minutes after your phone standby. Delay could be from 5 minutes to 15 minutes and more. No "Power saving" and "Wifi sleep" enabled. This was happen a much less when I was with 4..5.2.5A rom and much more when I upgraded to 4.5.2.7A. You could see messages only if you open those app manually most of the times. It was ridiculous
Here are solutions I tried and non of them work so far.
1. Went to Security --> Permissions --> Set "LINE" / "Google Services Framework" / "Google Account Manage" as auto restart.
2. above + Went to Security --> Power Saving --> Set "LINE" available to run while idle. Two setting simultaneously and still not work.
3. above two + lock "LINE" application to work on background. Three combination still doesn't ring a bell.
4. Roll back to 4.5.2.4A / 4.5.2.2A / 4.5.2.1A and still the same. (4.5.2.5A has been merged by Meizu developer so non available for download at the time.)
5. Try install almost every Launcher, every notification apps and even "push notification fixer" (for non-root) and still the same.
Do you have any idea or recommendation for a custom rom or a custom fix for this issue?

Hi.
I have just the same issue with recently bought Meizu M2 mini: Hangouts, Skype, Gmail - no notifications.... It's really frustrating

I have never had notification problems with M2 and MX5, this is what I do:
Security App, permission, Launch. Here every app to notify. Google stuff also.
Security app, powersaving. The same
Also this apps blocked in the multitask
Settings, wifi, advanced, wifi sleep disabled

Lock the app in ram via multitasking bar, this will not let the app to turn off.

anyone find a solution to this?

Hi
I found the solution 100% working for me. Just enter in security app/power/settings and disable the option " disable Linked Launch" thats all. Enjoy!

I had the same problem and solved it by
1. un checking 'disable linked launched'
2. Allowing all apps in security/power/app management

Wrong carrier name in Notification Bar

Hey,
I'm using OnePlus 2 with Oxygen OS 2.1.0 stock. I have a Vodafone SIM in slot 1 and an empty sim 2 slot.
I noticed the carrier name is wrongly displayed as Airtel instead of Vodafone IN.
Anybody else have this issue?

I had this issue with AT&T and T-Mobile. Both would say AT&T. That was when I had the T-Mobile in slot 1 and AT&T in slot 2. Switched the SIM cards and it displays properly now. Not sure why. Figured it was a software bug.

My phone does the same, instead of T-Mobile pl it shows polkom or something like that. And it's like that for every other carriers when I check in the settings. Factory resets didn't help so I just live with it. It's not a big deal.

Thanks Guys. Good to know I'm not the only person having this issue . Yes this looks like a bug. I thought yesterday update to Oxygenos 2.1.1 would fix it. But nevertheless hopefully somebody from oneplus is looking into this.

Also have France Telecom (F) instead of Proximus (B) :silly:
Do you guys, have a optable.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/ ? Looks like one of the file necessary to get carriers names, but I do not find it on my phone.

1 thing I did noticed that, if I'm in different place (my workplace), it shows the correct carrier. Is this something to do with the Towers that are available in the area? If yes, then why it didn't become Roaming?

This appears to also happen if your phone switches to a band your mobile network uses a different provider for. I'm with 3UK and they use Orange's 2G network, so Orange appears if my phone drops to a 2G/GSM signal.

Great! Thanks for this

Turned it on. Why is there no way to turn this on without downloading another app?
Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

Mine was on by default due to the 10 day trial and then it was switched to the off after a notification saying I could pay for the service, trial expired. I enabled it again with apex shortcut and it works great. We will see if I get charged premium charge.

Oh snap this is a paid feature...
Not sure where you found the trial. I searched and nothing came up on my phone
Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk

The trial popped up when I activated the phone. I didn't accept the agreement, but it started anyways. After I reenabled it, I checked my account and I don't see any charges yet. It doesn't work for all numbers though (not the phones fault, number probably masking info)

I have it on and it seems like it doesn't work. I got a few bogus calls that it didn't filter.

This did not work for me. Then today I was poking around in the settings and got it to work. I went into Applications in settings and then in the top right enabled system apps. I scrolled down to smart caller ID and clicked it. I went to permissions and enabled contacts.
Anyway an hour later I got a call from a family member from their home phone. I do not have this persons name saved in my phone. It said their first, last, and middle initial right on the screen. I was like wow it's working. So naturally I went into package disable pro and turned it off LOL. I tested it again with the same caller and this time it didn't show their caller ID, only their phone number. I tried to re enable the feature and have not been able to get it back since. If someone can try these steps and see how it works, maybe we can figure it out.
Kept messing with settings and it started working again. Rebooted and it went away.

Yeah this is definitely not working. The option to identify unsaved number Era is on but when I get a call from a unsaved number it doesn't identify the number.

Not working for me either.

Mine quit working with the update

I was able to turn on the feature. I'll watch to see if it works. This is after the update....

That's not an easy thing to do without root, but possible I guess. You think we should flash the csc from the international version? The only way I know how do it is with Odin.
