Samsung account issues - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I just installed echoe 14.2 for the note4 . Looks good until now but there is a big problem for me. I can not restore my call log and sms list due to the fact that I miss the restore option from the samsung account menu. Is there any way I can reinstall that apk to make it work again?
Thank you sooooo very much !!!

Since I updated my phone to firmware JPU, people try to ring me and it doesn't show up on my phone, my phone vibrates for like a second but I don't see any notification showing any call coming through, anyone know what the problem could be and how to solve it?

Has no one else had this problem since upgrading?
I have JPU (but in the form of darky's rom v5.2) and the phone rings fine, so I'm not sure if the problem lies in the jpu rom (but maybe it was a bug that darky fixed in the rom, not sure). Unfortunately, I don't know how one would solve this without flashing, but if you are gonna flash, then I really recommend darky's rom, it's one of the best out there atm.
I flashed the low level package with ODIN and phone calls have been fine. Actually asked someone to call me to make sure lol, been a quiet weekend....

I can only guess you have a bad app or you have old settings left from other firmware.
Its nothing wrong with jpu firmware.
**Using my own JPU kernel, z4mod, 339MB Ram and ext2 filesystem**
I hope you are not using setcpu .. i had this kind of problem when using secpu ..
Well I've re-flashed now, and didn't restore system data and everything is great now.
P.S. anyone know how to stop 2 notifications every time I get a message, one comes through Handscent and one through the the standard messaging app.

That sounds like it's something that you have to change with your provider. I am with 3 aus and switched off the option to be sms reminded every missed call and it's unnecessary especially seeing as though the phone has that functionality and if you have voice mail you should be sweet to go. Good luck!

You need to go to the stock samsung Messaging app, then press Menu button to go into Settings, and scroll all the way down to 'Notification Settings' and untick the Notifications option. Now you should only receive it through Handcent only.
My friend had the same problem.
Here is the solution:
1, flash XXJPU
2, do a factory reset and wipe data + cache from recovery menu
3, do not restore system apps from titanium backup, just the 3rd party softwares.
That's all, the phone app will work.
The problem is, the old phone app leaves some cache and other crap and the new phone app doesn't works. That's way the solution is factory reset and wipe data + cache.
I hope it helps you. You do not need to flash again the phone, etc. Just do what I wrote.
Not a FW problem
Hi, this happend to me with XFJP7 FW. It started after I did several things:
1) did fix permissions in CWM
2) tried stock lockscreen (didn't work the several times, but finally worked)
3) restore with TitaniumBackup
I had backup of /system/framework directory, but restoring it didn't help. I ended up with flashing again with selective restore. Didn't try stock lockscreen nor fix permissions yet.

Probably same source here which also causes the "No-Vibration-Issue".
In most cases this is being caused by using a Lockscreen-/ Extended Power Menu-/ Circle-Battery-Mod that wasn't originally build and modified especially for your firmware. There's only a limited amount of ressources available for the system.
In some cases they first -seem- to work fine.
But in the backgound they (mostly) disable or block other functions because your new firmware wants to use the same registers or adresses (which the "wrong Mod" uses) for other os-functions.
In the end, I just re-flashed and only restored apps instead of system data + apps and now its working fine. Bingo!
When I receive a call, first the lockscreen shows up on my screen (instantly) for like a second and then it changes and I can answer the call. I have stock android lockscreen and 2.2.1. Do you think I have the same problem as others here or is this a different one?

[Q] Sorry, no suitable apn info available... ?

Hello, XDA. I'm a long time user (unregistered), have flashed many ROMs successfully on various phones, but this one's got me stumped.
My girlfriend just switched from her iPhone to a Galaxy S4 on the Sprint network. To show her the wonderful world of Android, I showed her all the customizable ROMs and such, and she wanted to hop on board. So I did a nandroid backup, full wipe, the works, like I have many times before without any issue. We decided to go with the Darthstalker S4 Version 9.
We got it up and running, beautifully might I add, with absolutely no issues... until today. Her phone will make and receive calls and texts. But she cannot access the internet, send or receive MMS. I looked through her phone and found nothing out of the ordinary, so I figured a reboot may do the trick. Rebooted, and went to go to the Firefox app to test the internet, when suddenly, this small info box appeared and faded at the bottom of the screen:
"Sorry, no suitable apn info for your sim card, operator is"
Mind you, it appears and fades very quickly, I used Hot Reboot numerous times so the dialog would appear enough times so I could read it. Strangely, it ends at "operator is" and nothing else. To my understanding, APNs are for use with phones using SIM cards. So why is this happening suddenly? Nothing has changed and nothing else has been flashed besides the 100% Transparent AccuWeather Widget. I've been fighting with this for hours now and it seems to beyond my capability of understanding at this point. So, I'm turning it over to you. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening?
Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to get the whole story in so no further questions needed to be asked ("Did you dirty flash" "Choose appropriate carrier in AROMA" etc) so we can move on to the real issue.
Thank you in advance.
That rom is based on T-Mobile. Its known to cause issues with data and MMS. Did you try to back up Apns on a working sprint ROM , then restore those APNs on Darthstalker ?

I still have the nandroid backup of the Stock MF9 ROM that I rooted. I'm going to make a nandroid backup of the current Darthstalker so I can just go back to it when I restore the stock ROM.
The bizarre thing is I cant seem to locate APN anywhere in the settings on her phone. I have the AT&T variant of the Galaxy S3 myself, and I know where it is located there. I figured it would be the same, but I have searched every inch of the settings and found no APN options. That said, where could I find this? I know there are APN related apps, but I've never used them.
On a working sprint native touchwiz ROM. Downlaod system app mover and APN backup frothe the play store. Now open up system app. Give super user permission and make APN backup a system app. Then you will have to reboot . after doing so open up APN backup and hot menu then disable ICS check. Now make a backup.
From here you can flash or restore darthstalker ROM. Download those two apps again, and open up system app and give it su permission, make APN backup a system app. Reboot. Open APN restore, and restore APNs from you backup. Reboot and you should be done with data. Let me know if MMS works after this. If not there is a way you can change some things up with gosms pro to use mms

Sensors not working after uninstalling SamsungHub

1st time poster and root newbie here.
I got my S4 i9500 yesterday and have been playing around with it and ended up rooting it.
One of the reasons i wanted to root was to remove the bloatware that came on the phone.
I deleted a few samsung apps, including the hub which originally started an issue with the screen rotation, which i have fixed following the instructions in here:: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2689233
It also presented a proximity sensor issue with calls, which I also fixed with this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrognaas.proximityfix
Now I also noticed that the air gesture sensor is also not responsive.
I cant answer or browse/swipe using air gestures. Is there any resource or info I can have on fixing this?
Also is there any other known issues from removing the Samsung hub?
I would appreciate any help
PS: im still a noob at all of this so please trr to be as clear as possible.
PSS: damn Samsung bloatware
@devolin most of the things wont work after UNINSTALLING/DISABLING samsung hub. It is the key module that makes auto rotation/gestures etc. etc. Work..
Please reinstall it if you made a backup of the apk or reflash your stock rom.
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ?"
I do havea backup made with titanium back up.
Would restoring Samsung Hub would make the air gesture sensors work though ?
Is it a samsung thing? I would've though i need to revert back something else like with the screen rotation fix.

Yeah. Restore it.
Samsunghub is not a thing to be removed.
Why dont CM and AOSP have these features?
Restore samsung hub
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ?"
thanks for the reply.
Before i restore the backup.
Would installing Samsung hub fresh from the playstore be the same? or it HAS to be a restore ?
appreciate your time!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 Tracphone

I was trying to show my friend the wonders of the android community ROMs but he liked his S4 as was, so I restored from a full backup made with TWRP but his password would not work after the restore, so we tried some methods to get around that but the system and every app in it just kept crashing, so I restored again and now the keyboard won't even pop up for him to put his password in, and the emergency dialer won't come up when you tap emergency calls. However when you select the keyboard chooser in the right side of the password box the options for samsung keyboard or the swype keyboard, no matter what I choose no keyboard popped up.
How do I fix this?

TWRP has a problem with TouchWiz backups. A friend has an S5 and had the same problems with every TouchWiz backup he ever made.
I think the only way is to flash a stock rom through Odin and hope your friend doesn't want to kill you

Meh, I''m helping him get a nexus 5p on google Fi, so he can't complain, but he's addicted to Puzzles and Dragons and that's the only hope he has of recovering that data... and all the photos of his family, is there a way to extract those photos if the backup included them?

Photos are stored on the internal/external storage, not on the phone's /data partition.

How we can say anything with so little information?
Provide more information about your setup (rooted, any modifications, etc.)
Is it latest version of whatsapp ?
When it started to happen ? (After doing something, installed anything ? )
Is there any parallel activity running when crashes ?
You said it crashes 5-6 times, so does it work fine for other times ?
Detail are the important key to solve the problem as every phone is unique in its own solution may or may not work.
Also after hearing you ill suggest dont use backup files and start a fresh whatsapp.
I assume you don't have root(as you are backing up using cloud and this is also my assumption as you didn't mentioned any type of backup).
So dont use backup just start a fresh whatsapp and see if it still persists.
Sorry... I am new here.. I posted it in haste.

It seems other apps are crashing too?
In such situation, factory reset is better to do.
before proceeding, take backup of your stuff (photos, videos, everything from internal storage, it will also erase every app's data )
If you want whatsapp backup, take it also from internal storage (keep latest one only, from /whatsapp/database/ , remove olders.) Put it back as it is after factory reset, then see what happens.
No other apps are crashing... But, yes i will factory reset and see if the problem gets cleared....
.
Thanks for the quick response...
@sandzredz
I see your problem and after a little bit of search. Use your backup to backup chats only and nothing else. Clear data of whatsapp. Start and see if it is still there.
Or
Do the same things and dont restore backup at start. Just let app runs then from setting restore the backup.
CAN ANYBODY HELP...
My phone is samsung galaxy tab 2 P3100 is rooted and i am using slim rom unofficial 6.01 build 2.5 by andi(hope enough info or should i give more) and i have TWRP recovery. have formatted my phone and flashed 2 ROms slim rom 6.0 build 2.1 stable and the present one. (whatsapp problem is same on both)
i started using original whatsapp on my tab which was unrooted using android 4.5...never had issues with orginal whatsapp .started using gb whatsapp from FOdmods, and had issues..every time after a week my whatsapp was crashing n i was getting a message of "backup data corrupted" and asked me to restore. i restored and as such lost chats of the day as the backup from 2am was restored.
I rooted my phone and installed whatsapp again but again the same issues.
trying other fods namely FMWATSAPP, FOUDMODSWHATSAPP,WHATSAPP,FOUDWHATSAPP AND YOWHATSAPP(all old and the latest vesrions too). HAD ISSUES on all of them namely.. in v5.90 GBwhatsapp(and all previous versions) the backup data is getting corrupted and evry week had to restore the data back and looisng loosing chats and data.
in other mods, suddenly the app used to go in a loop for more then 24 hours and kept on swicthing on to the app main screen and as such i couldnt use whatsapp for 24 hours. it would remain fine for 2-4 hours or sometime 12 hours and the problem started all over gain.
reverted back to orginal whatsapp and it has the same "chat backup getting corrupt" issue. can u please help me what may b the problem
Note-not an issue if not answered but wanted to bring to your notice.
in original whatsapp the goggle account associated with the phone is being shown and the data is getting backupped on to the gmail account associated. in gb whatsapp and all other mods it is just showing the gmail account but is not allowing u to backup ur data on gmail. the error message i get is please check ur wifi or phone network inspite of my internet working perfectly fine.
@vivlbo12 maybe you didn't see it, but that's a moto g4 plus forum and not a general help thread for whatsapp. So please ask your question in a device specific help thread.
DUDE I SAW DAT n this is my same problem in a 3rd thread. i blv ths problem is not phone specific or android specific....coz i have given all details mentioning the rom version yep my phone is same. moreover the same issue i have seen in another thread , so the total comes to 3 different phone modesl..different android versions. i believe the problem seems to b wth some small bug or some wrong installation. or some thing i have been doing causing this problem.hope u c my point.thanks again
