S-Pan problems
So this is really annoying, looks like there is a problem with the s-pen with galaxy tools i'm having the "action memo" as well as Scrapbook failing on me. The auto-desk sketchbook works fine.The S Note also fails once you draw something and than click the back button.
I hope that the KITKAT glitch and they will fix with an update since I'm running the Stock with root.

Also had various samsung apps consistently force closing on me. it was quite frustrating.
the only solution that worked was a factory reset.
problems like these are an inevitable side effect of computer technology, and there is nothing we can do to prevent them.
instead, reset and move on

You mean just factory reset ? Or a total wipe and loosing the root.

I meant simply factory reset. Whether you will lose root or not depending on your setup.
If you are running a custom rom, you most likely will not lose root.

Well i don't know if it was just luck but i made it work...I open Action note WITHOUT the pen (with my finger) and it worked!!! After that it's working normaly with the pen. Try that and tell me if it works.

Thanks for the sugestion, didn't work in my case tho.
And people stop telling to factory reset, its not a solution.
I've been having this problem for a while now, and tried several things.
Restoring apps didnt work.
I am rooted tho, but didnt change much stuff.
So i'd love to see a solution, as i dont want to factory reset (and go trought the burden of getting everything back like i want it). And have to factory reset again when it happens again.
Is there anyway to find out what has actualy stopped working, as i can replicate this in command.

Action memo
Like others, my Action Memo stopped working. I found my old memos stored as jpg in a device folder, actionmemo. They can be viewed and deleted but not modified. At least they weren't lost. I tried soft rest, pulling the battery, and every tip suggested on this site and other sites. I was at least able to use S-note for a while.
I mistakenly assumed that Samsung must have replaced the app with S-note after the update. After a week the Action Memo app returned without any action on my part.
By the next post after this one I realize this site apparently doesn't want posts from regular users so I will not post again. Suggestions from the pros didn't help me. Time for an apparent automatic update was probably the solution.

Thanks for trying to help.
But please stop posting this nonsence on all the forums.
It is NOT true. Both apps are still on the phone!
BTW you have also been told multiple times its not true (on difrent topics).
Have seen some possible solutions on difrent forums.
- Theres 1 were someone explaines he brought his phone to a Samsung-rep, and they uninstalled some software which made it work.
- Others do have succes after factory reset.
- Or launching S-note without the S-pen works for some.
- I have yet to try deleting S-pen application files. But that might be an solution too altho i havent seen anyone having succes with it.
- Have also seen someone with succes after battery pull and reinsterting SIM and SD card.
If anyone else has some suggestions lets collect them here. Lurking trough difrent forums is just a pain.

Go to settings -> application manger -> disabled find there (myscript resources manger) then enable it then restart your phone
This what works for me let me know if for you work.

Android OS uses a lot of my Mobile Data

I have a limited Data Plan (1500MB) and android OS uses about 40MB a day and I dont know why and how to stop it. Please help me !

First, try to disable every unessesary syncing in accounts and notifications in app settings especially Facebook app (uncheck show notif for this app)
Are you rooted?
If yes, install droidwall (firewall app), use the white list to enable the apps that you need to be connected only.
If no, try to uninstall every free apps that you are not using (free apps = ads = data usage in background) and/or disable the mobile data when you dont need it?

I have been using facebook for 2 years on my phones and it never cause a big background usage. Im not rooted. Thanks for the reply.

Please can somebody tell me how much Android OS usage is normal on mobile data ? I think I will do a factory reset but I am still not sure what's causing this...

Really odd. Mine has only used 13MB in several days. Are you using smart network switch?

In the data usage settings, when you tap an app, there will be an option to Restrict background data. Check that for unessesary apps.

Nope. 200MB are now gone. Just for 3-4 days of doing nothing.

Can you please clarify about how did you fixed it? Mine is getting overwhelmingly high about 3gb on wifi (which doesn't matter) but on mobile data plan it has consumed the whole 200mb package. Please advice!

Getting weird system pop-up, please help

I had this on my old Z1, and now I have a note 4 and it's on it as well... Every few days I get a pop-up on my phone with a Chinese word (screen shot will be added), and despite all my efforts with anti-virus / anti-malware apps, it persists. I found nothing on it online... I used Google translate to try to make sense of this pop-up, all it says is " 堰" which translates into "weir". I used es file Explorer to search my entire phone for that Chinese word, it came up with nothing. I deleted all apps that I thought were suspicious, and still nothing. Could someone help me with this? It's driving me insane. Thank you.

Could it be an app that you had both on your z1 and have it on your new device as well? How about doing a factory reset and then if your problem persists? The only logical course I can think of is to install your apps incrementally and seeing when this starts again. Also, try to keep unknown sources and verify apps on under security. Hope that leads you in the right direction.

I've deleted almost all third party apps, did a factory reset, even flashed a new ROM from sammobile... It still happens. This problem started when I put my old memory card from my Z1 on the note 4. But I've switched it for a new one, and flashed the new ROM after that (and wiped data, and cache), and still no luck. I'm beginning to think it may have been a virus that implants itself to system files or something... I'm a noob though, I need some developer brain power for this

It could be a message from your SIM card or network.

Yes I agree with Jimmyness. Go get a new SIM card, assuming you moved the SIM from your old phone. You've changed everything else.

Alright, I'll give it a shot and let you guys know... Thanks

To see which app this pop-up message is belong to, try the following:
install Shortcut Master app > Menu > Capture Shortcut.

That shortcut master app... I'm not sure exactly what it's supposed to do.

What service provider are you using? Does this happen after a factory reset before you add your Google account? In thinking you are letting an app install after you reset.

It captures the shortcut of the popup shown on the screen.
That way you will know which app that popup is belong to.

Anyone else with no maps in weather apps?

Having a very strange problem on the g6. For all the weather apps I use they include weather maps superimposed on Google maps. But the Google maps part of it doesn't display. So all that shows is the cloud cover or precipitation (or whatever layer I have it showing). But since the Google maps part doesn't display I don't know where that precipitation actually is. And this is for all the weather apps I have tried.
I'm a long time Android user and have used these weather apps for years. Any idea why it's not working correctly on this g6? I've tried checking all the app permissions and uninstalling and reinstalling. And Google Maps works fine by itself.

Mine got a problem using uber app its just blank no maps all i can see is the cars available.

When i got my replacement phone i had the same problem. The maps didn't work for Weather Underground, Gas Buddy, Sensorly, etc. I ended up doing a full reset again. ugh!!! So much for spending the evening setting up my phone for the millionth time it seems. I've never had this problem before. I don't know if it's an issue with LG's android software or what.

Did that end up fixing the problem? Like you, I really don't want to do a reset after finally getting the phone setup.
Btw, I did a lot of searching online about this issue and the only other reference to it I could find was from someone with a Verizon lg g6 also.

That's 1weather on my tmobile g6. I didn't do anything, just working out of the box.
I wonder if verizon had done sth to mess with the maps. Can we check if other verizon users having the same issue or not?

Any progress on this issue?

Hi all,
I'm having similar issues except not just with weather apps.
I've also been using the verizon version of Lg G6 and noticed that google maps embedded in ALL apps (i.e. yelp, zillow, tripadvisor, priceline, etc) come out completely blank. This has been going on since day 1 of using this phone. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like on yelp.
Google maps itself works just fine without any issues.
My phone is up to date with all the system/app updates. I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling all those apps. The only thing I havent tried is doing a factory reset... which I dont want to do =\
Anyone else having this problem?? Any fixes??

I did a factory reset and the issue didn't come back. Btw the reset wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. The LG backup & restore function worked reasonably well. Backed up to SD card bf reset and restored right after. Things still needed to be setup a little. I've always had a rooted phone before this and relied on Titanium backup, so didn't know what to expect.
