Snap N Go 2.3.3

Since the installation of android 2.3.3 on my I9000
Snap N Go Fails..
it connects with my PC then the camera goes on
it stays on for couple sec then the application closes
without a FC warning

Is Snap and Go compatible with BETA 2.3 ???
jje

i dont know...mate
maybe it is the camera bug or something that makes it close

I can also confirm that I get the exact same reaction since 2.3.3 upgrade for SGS. (Upgrade from cell phone carrier). Its a big shame because Snap N Go was/is a terrific app. Have read on net that others have same problem. Also have lost daily briefing app.
Please HELP!

i even cant find it in samsung apps!

Yes I notice it's not there anymore too.

Same issue on the same configuration, you are not alone !

same problem
come on developer type people
this is a briliant, just briliant app... and i want it back
won't anyone help?

what's about solution?

Wow tried it and this happens to me too.
Lame Snap N Go was a great easy way to transfer files between computers without the hassle of using a samba share. (It even worked without a wifi network around, just connect the laptop to mobile AP.)
I wonder if we can get a log that will give insight into the problem?

It just doesn't work on Gingerbread apparently..
Also, samsung's taken it off of "Samsung Apps"..
Such an amazing app, its so less known!
Can't any developer help here? Please!
"apk" and the "desktop-application" file are both still available on the net,
and i strongly believe its just a minor bug(with the new camera) that's the problem, as the app runs fine(connects with desktop client and all) till the camera tries to load up

TouchWiz 4.0 app icons and folders problem (video included)

Hi,
I don't know if someone else found this problem. I made a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RS9j4uiTDaE. It's also in FullHD.
And wrote a post in my blog in my native language, spanish: http://retreteinformatico.blogspot.com/2012/01/touchwiz-40-y-problemas-con-la.html
The video description is english. I'll also explain the problem here:
Simply put, TouchWiz does not save the icons in the place where I leave them. At first I organized all of them in two screens: one with folders and the other with most frequently used icons. After doing a power on-off cycle the icons are all scattered without alphabetical order in three screens instead of two. The folders maintain their ordering and screen. An icon (AllShare) is put between two folders and the other icons are divided in two screens, disordered, not alphabetical.
In the video you'll see first what I found after the icon position screwing. Then I get three or four apps out of their folder (Google Talk, Gmail, Maps, Market) and put them with the rest of the icons and the AllShare app is put with the rest, out of the screen with the folders. Then I power off the phone and turn it on again to find that GTalk, Maps, Market and AllShare are out of their place.
After that, I put the icons more or less where I want to put them (in two screens) and I do again a power cycle to show how did TouchWiz screw my icon organization.
I'm using Android 2.3.4 XWIK4 with baseband XXKI1.

If someone is able to reproduce the problem just tell it. Maybe touchwizh has problems if you put in folders the Samsung apps (Hubs and more), I don't know, but it's a big problem.

Folder/Icon rearrangement is a known problem with TouchWiz since day 1 when SGS2 got released.
Best way to get around is to use AppSorter and sort your App Drawer everytime you create a folder.

Posting problems about 2.3.4 when everyone else is on 2.3.6 = VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS!
Update your phone and test it and give feedback!

Hmmm, I didn't know. How comes that Samsung hasn't fixed this in 8 monts?
This is ludicrous.

Beta is bad

Love the name of your blog: informatic toilet (retrete informatico) ahahah
Anyway: They suck on fixing bugs.. if we users and devs cant fix'em we are screwed lol

Also, why any reviewer spoted this problem? Add to this the Fujitsu camera module problem and you get the idea that QA on Samsung is really poor. Just remember the GPS problem on Samsung Galaxy S1.

My icons are kept in their folders. The problem is the icons that are out of their folders. I'm using original Android, no beta nor custom ROMs.

I read your first post about upgrading to 2.3.6. Well, if I just use the default Samsung support, I'm stuck to 2.3.4, as my phone is Austrian version and Samsung didn't release nothing newer than 2.3.4 for those phones.
So Samsung sucks big as a company and client support.
Of course if I start to root the phone and installing custom ROMs the problem would disappear, but flashing your phone and breaking your warranty is not something the user should do for something that's supposed to work from the beginning. Different thing is if the user wants extra functionality, but this is not the case.
So, all in all, I'll wait until ICS gets released and after that if it doesn't convince me, I'll root and who know if I flash a custom ROM.

I had that trouble before where one app ended up going to the next page and kept going back there. I think simply restoring the order, going to TwLauncher in the application list and then force stopping should make it remember the order you gave it once you go back.

If I force stop TwLauncher the apps are again "out of control" :-/
I'll try to clear the cache although I'm reluctant because I'll need to recreate all folders again

I have partially solved the problem by clearing the cache of TouchWiz launcher.
Now the SIM service app keeps going back to the same place out of its folder, but I refuse to clear again the cache and organize all my apps. Maybe it's because the SIM service app is something variable. If I kill touchwiz process that app appears inside it's folder (once the cache corruption is solved), but if I turn off the phone and turn on again, the SIM app appears out of the folder.
This is crap.

Well, know what? I've installed some applications at one time, all from Samsung Apps, and after rebooting the phone all my folders are empty and the apps inside them are all spread across 6 screens instead the 2 screens I managed to sort. The apps and folders have lost the position I assigned to them.
Now I have a bunch of icons in random order and I don't want to organize again 6x8 = 48 icons plus the home screens which would turn to default state after clearing the cache of the touchwiz manager.
It's very annoying and unusable. I want to throw the phone through the window.
What I can't understand is how this bug has been happening since launch date and Samsung hasn't been able to solve it. My only hope is the ICS update and I don't have much confidence on it. Probably I'll have to flash a custom ROM and then try to get some Samsung software on it.
The free games offer is very good
PS: Well, maybe it has some explanation->Samsung's poor software development quality assurance. Camera's firmware also suffer from it.

With all due respect, and not aiming to sound rood to you, with that mentality (it should work fine out of the box and I don't care if somewhere else there's a newer version...) you shouldn't be posting on XDA because people we'll obviously tell you to upgrade to the latest version, whether it's from a different operator/country (legit) or simply a leak.
You can't expect people here to act like the only way to use the phone is by following what Samsung/your operator is dictating you. We all know and have long ago agreed that operators and manufacturers are lazy when it comes to QA, and that's why a place like XDA exists

The camera firmware bug affects to all people, doesn't matter if you have stock Android or custom ROM. So we're all in the same bag. And this is Galaxy S II General forum, so I post this here because norms allow it.
Anyways, thanks for your reading.

Actually clearing the cache helped! Ever since I updated to 2.3.6 I have had this problem but after clearing the cache it has been resolved. But initially after the update the folders did remember for a couple of days after which the problem started for me. But for now clearing the cache worked well.

Hello, did u guys already tried Menu>Save in app drawer after modifying/rearranging apps/folder?

[Q] Graphics overlapping issues

Hello,
I have been searching the forums and the web for an answer but no luck, I hope someone could help me figure out what could be the issue.
I'm attaching some pictures so you can see exactly what is going on. At this moment I have this issue, with the play store, facebook and viber...
I have reset the phone multiple times and still the same.
It happens when you start to scroll, with facebook it is actually weird, it doesn't happen all the time, and it overlaps only like the "gray box" where you have the Like, Comment and Share buttons.
Phone is Galaxy S5 SM-G900H.
Thanks for any help!

Saw your thread, mine has never done that, no lagging nor freezing.
Mine actually works fine. In any of the applications I mentioned, if I scroll to the right (viber and facebook) and then go back, the top bar displays fine, the if you start to scroll down or up, it happens again.
I'll continue searching and testing....

You are on the first stage . I think )

Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 900h. I experience the same problem but only on Facebook, I did the screen test (*#0*#0 or something like that) and in my opinion the hardware is working properly. Also If I turn my phone Facebook screen refresh in good shape, so I think It's a refresh problem.
Does anybody has the same issue? How to solve it?
Regards.

overlapping issue
did any one found solution for this i am still facing this issue with facebook,twitter and viber

Hi:
Since yesterday tweeter is overlapping also, when scrolling up at the left corner it disappeared the tweeter icon and overlap the user tweet photo.
The screen works OK it's just a display refresh issue but instead of fix it there are some other apps with the same issue. Today Facebook and Tweeter shows the same problem.
Does Samsung knows about this? I Think they must deploy an operation system fix immediately.
Regards.

Hi:
I am very happy to tell you yesterday my phone receive an update and automatically installed Android 5.0. All screens problems have been disappeared in Facebook and Twitter.
Now my Galaxy S5 is working fine.
Did you already receive the update?
Regards!

Has anyone found a fix for this other than getting an update? I'm on the Straight Talk version of S5, which doesn't have any updates to Lollipop. I'm stuck with this overlapping issue. Maybe if I restore a nandroid backup or something? They never made an ODIN flashable for my version either, so nandroid is the best I can do. Maybe an xposed module could fix it? Idk, just ideas. I realize this thread is from over a year ago, but the problem still exists for some of us who can't update :/

[WORKAROUND] Waze storage issue

Hey guys!
Finally received my Nova and I was isntalling some apps it. I installed Waze just to see that it occupies 12 gig from my storage! WTF?! Hahahaha
Someone aware of this and how to solve it? For now, I just uninstalled it and downloaded just gogle Maps.
EDIT:
The problem seems to be related with specific language packs. For workaround this issue you must be rooted. Just download another language pack for your language (or another language that suits you), go to /data/data/com.waze/waze/sound/ and removes the folder related to the default language pack and see if it solves for you. For brazilian guys, Alessandra language pack causes this, now I'm with Mario language pack and I don't have the storage issue anymore.
EDIT 2:
It seems that waze download default voice pack everytime you reopen it, even if other is selected. Then the storage issue happens again. You just have to remove what it re-download
EDIT 3:
I just found out an ultimate fix for this bug. Inside the folder of the bug voice pack, there are some files with 0 B.
Go to the folder of the alternative voice pack you downloaded (if you don't, then do) and replace this 0 B with the other! BANG, PROBLEM SOLVED FOREVER (APPARENTLY)

Jup.. me to... I thought what is the cause of my low storage - BAM! Waze is taking 8.5gb of internal memory. Reinstalled but after some time the same.
Had 'B100' software, got OTA to 'B140' today now reinstalled waze, will see what will happen.

Your model is the european or the chinese? Mine is chinese, CAZ-TL10. Maybe there is something to do with this. Obviously it doesn't occupies this much, it is an error with reading app storage. For me, it become displaying the wrong storage after downloading voices.
I'm thinking in trying to installing the european firmware and see if things go better that way.

Strange because in my victara, waze is just fine. But I'll try to contact the team

I contacted Waze's team, but they verified that it wasn't waze's bug. In other words, it is a EMUI bug.

I'm on a LG G3, same problem here... So I thing it is a Waze bug.

OnePlus 3T here, Waze taking up ~10.5 GB. Cleared data and all, but after I signed in it went back to ~10 GB.

I have a workaround for this issue. Check the OP

Maybe if you report this "fix" to the waze team, they can figure it out what's wrong and fix it!

I have a Honor 8 and been having this issue as well. Since my phone isn't rooted the solutions I've found online haven't been applicable to my device. I emailed waze support team and they said they didn't have a permanent solution for this issue yet. However they asked me to help them out with some logs I debug mode. While I was doing this I managed to avoid the issue were waze starts to consume so much space. Try the instructions below and see if it works for you too.
1. Uninstall waze
2. Change your standard language on you phone to English.
3. Install waze, log in and leave it running.
4. While waze is still running, go to your phone settings again and change your default language back to what you prefer.
5. Manually change waze language to the same as on your phone.
6. Exit waze app and restart it. You should now have the your preferred language on both your phone and in the waze app and the storage waze consumes should not be more that around 150 MB.
Good luck and hope this can help some of you with this issue. Feel free to ask questions about this and I'll try to help out more (even though I'm just an ordinary user).

Phone been acting weird... need help

My phone has been acting really weird for a few months now and I can't figure it out. Is there a way to find all apps on the phone user installed, system, and hidden?? My phone isnt rooted; well I havent rooted it nor does it say it has. For instance earlier when I pushed my volume button there was an accessibility guy there nothing would open when I pushed him and while looking threw my accessibility settings and checking here and there to see if he was still there, he just vanishes without me turning anything off. Like WTF. Theres other weird things but that's just the most recent 1. And it's got me very concerned. Pls help!!

Your probably have a setting on in Accessibility like visibility enhancements or screen reader, you'll need to turn it off.
For list of apps you can view them in Settings > Apps ( Tap the 3 dots on the top right and tap "Show system apps" )

That's what I thought at first so I went threw my accessibility settings and they r all off. He hasn't been back so far that I have noticed. I know there r some spyware and malware that u can hide from being seen or make it look like some random app. Is there a way to use like adb or android studio to scan it for something that shouldn't be there.

I'm not sure too much about malware, I do know that Samsung has their own "Security Features" in Settings > Device Care > Security if you want to scan your device, also try Play Protect.
Seeing that the Accessibility issues are out of the way, what other problems are you experiencing ?

I saw the guy again but this time I kinda got to look at the running services and I found this. Could that have something to do with it?? As u can kinda tell, once I forced stopped that cloud messaging service the time changed on it and went under the dual messenger service. But as I was saying beforehand, google play services always had a pop up saying using headphones in the background. But my data doubled in the last 2-3 months, things I download will just disappear and pictures (like my phone will restore itself a few days but not my messages or calls), my phone also keeps adding a new camera gallery like it's not connected anymore and is a new camera same with the screenshot folder. Theres also a few other things

So Cloud Messaging's time would change because after you stopped the process it restarted itself. But the other things make it look like your phone is being haunted :laugh:
Can you send your list of installed Applications ?
