Hey everybody,
A couple days ago one of those annoying orange indicators popped up in my notification shade letting me know that there's an update available for the device maintenance app on Galaxy Apps. So I clicked the update button.
The regular download indicator with the progress bar appeared in my status bar, however, it refused to progress. It got stuck at 0.87kb for over an hour. After noticing that I restarted the download and it still refused to download.
So I tried updating other apps on Galaxy Apps like the clock or gallery application. Same problem with those.
I tried enabling evereything I disabled via a package disabler, cleared cache and data for Galaxy Apps, started in safe mode and even factory reset my phone. None of this helpen, still stuck at 0.87kb.
Samsung support proved once again to be useless as usual.
After trying a couple more times, the download progressed really really slow to around 400kb after 10 minutes and then just cancelled. What the ...?
SM-G950F with latest software update installed.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
WalllyD

i apologize if this has been posted before but i can't seem to find any information on it.
I just recently updated to 5.0.6. (yes i know 7.1. is out but iwant to wait for a black bar mod before i update)
And i started having some really assy issues with the market. all this is on wi-fi as well.
First off, is that it takes a long ass time to load. 20+ seconds where under wi-fi it normally takes maybe 2-3. Then sometimes it randomly reloads for no reason.
when i try to search for things it sometimes takes up to a minute to search
And when i go into downloads, it dosn't load or show anything. the one time it did it showed me as having all my apps, but not downloaded.
However, when i go to install something, it allows me to see my downloads but then it gets stuck on installing even though the statusbar shows it as being installed completely.
Anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? I already tried uninstalling the updates and cache. no change at all.
*EDIT* just updated to CM 5.0.7.1 and the same thing. any ideas?
hi all,
since a day i have an extremely annoying issue with the note3 (sm-9005)
first, when it boots - it takes ca.10 minutes. stuck on the samsung animated logo.
then the black screen appears with the status bar (which i can drag down). normally i should have a lock screen appearing. but it just remains black. and in the status bar i have a message " you can now safely remove sd card" and "tap to enter knox". nothing happens when tapping those two...
can i play back an update from the SD card so that FW renews and i don't have to so factory reset and reinstall everything?
(ps. when connecting phone to a pc it shows no disks inside the phone so that if it still was locked...)
thanks in advance!

well same thing as one would do using kies, only somehow without kies. i saw in the recover boot an option "apply update from external storage" and was wondering what file could i use for that?
i have SWC region on my device...
Answer is no via above.
Firmware update is via Kies or Odin .
Alternative is custom rom via custom recovery .

UPD: after some searching i was able to unlock the device through samsung's findmomybile. however, half of the apps are missing, most of the ones which are not missing do not work, etc...
i guess not much left but factory reset. hopefully these are not corrupt internal storage problems.

Did anyone come up with a solution to this other than findmymobile? I have had the same problem with my Note 3, e.g. taking 5-10 mins to load up from power off, the dreaded black screen with the power / wifi / etc icons shown on the top. My Note 3 was password protected as well, meaning I can't get into it even with Kies. I have the latest stock firmware installed.
I hadn't installed any apps to my phone before it died, however I do recall a security update being installed earlier in the day (this looked like an official Android one).
Any ideas? I went along to a Samsung Service Centre for help and they had told me that they had seen at least 5 cases of this on a Note 3 over the last two days.
Security update ??

I did not receive any response from anyone from anywhere. So I tried on myself and started manipulating every corner. I tried bluetooth and I could backup my contacts. It was the first victory.
I restarted into safemode by holding down the Down Volume for about 10 minutes! I wanted to try calling via pc via bluetooth. Just as a blind try. Meanwhile I saw a Knox notofication I had seen before so I just clicked carelessly. Vow!! The Knox Lock Screen was there blinking behind some error messages. I tried my lock pattern but nothing happended. I tried more and more, I was thinking this may corrupt the LCD! because it was blinking and went on off rapidly.
I saw that a counter is reducing. 20 attempts left.. 19 attempt... I worked hard till 4 or 3 then some message popup saying knox may be uninstalled. I said who cares? and went on. finally knox was uninstalled. I continued manipulating other available corners of the Note 3 and after a while I restarted and vow!! It was like back to life!
I came here writing for those who are out there seeking every corner of the web for a liitle bit of information.
I backed up my stuff and did a factory reset. It seems fine now.
I suggest manipulating every possible sequence of events. It will pop up some error and then the answer may rise!
best wishes
in my case i unlocked it with findmymobile, backed up stuff to SD card and did factory reset without much further thinking.
phone works fine until today
Since about July 2017 my G-900v has gone bad and gets stuck on the Verizon loading screen. I am talking this has been at least 4 times. This last time yesterday a factory reset would not get it going again and I had to find a firmware (G900VVRS2DQA1_G900VVZW2DQA1_G900VVRS2DQA1_HOME) and load that with Odin. Admittedly it really seems to be working better than before and I think it was running the previous firmware when it was freezing up. Was there known issues with the other firmware? I am not certain what the build version was.
I have 2 batteries and have tried both during the freeze up. Neither make a difference. And the freeze up always happens at night during charging. After the update earlier this year it was prone to sudden reboots and applications stopped working errors. Also the emoji icons had stopped working and would cause keyboard crashes on all keyboard apps. Can having a large amount of photos saved on the SD card lead to such issues?
What is the best known way to back up and restore my handset if this continues to happen? I am tired of having to DL and customize my apps every time this happens.
Some but not all of my apps
Go SMS Pro
My Work Clock
Instagram
FB Messenger
Facebook
SnapChat
C4Yourself
DoubleMaps
Beautiful Widgets
SeekDroid
Western Union
LookOut Mobile
Screen Off Lock
Removed
WiFi Advisor
Network Analyzer
AVG
What default apps should I disable?
Thanks for any help or insight on this.
Do you have the link to the firmware you used? Mine is stuck on the Verizon logo screen after doing a factory reset and I want to flash a good stock firmware on it via Odin.
Pretty sure it was from here.
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G900V/region/VZW/
I followed the guide here http://www.**********.com/install-stock-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-on-verizon-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v/
There WERE bugs in the Samsung keyboard back in the day, that have supposedly been patched up in recent times. Depending on the age of the installed firmware, it could be an issue.
I am not sure if this is an Android or Galaxy issue so please redirect me if necessary.
I have a new S10 plus which has worked perfectly well since the beginning of January until a couple of weeks ago. It has the latest firmware. Suddenly, updates have stopped happening either automatically or manually. I notice that there are umpteen reports of this in many forums going back a couple of years and there is a wealth of advice as to how to fix it. I have tried them all many times (Play store cache, Play Services cache, rebooting, closing recent apps etc.) to the point where I gave up trying to find a solution and wiped the phone. It took a long while to restore some 200 apps but all came back and the first lot of updates updated correctly. However, a day or so later, the problem returned with apps only partially downloading or getting to 100% then not installing.
There was one "fix" I hadn't tried as I came upon it late on. I started the phone in safe mode. As soon as I did, the update whizzed through. However, after a normal restart, the problem was back. So I have a messy solution that I can apply when the list builds up but this is far from satisfactory.
This is where my ability and knowledge comes to an end. I am presuming that one of the apps that doesn't load in safe mode is causing the problem.....or is it? Could this be a system app? What can I do next? Is there an error log that could pin-point the cause of the problem?
Many thanks.

I noticed this issue as well. I use Aptoide to get updates faster and updating either Play Services/Store got mine to start working again
I have play store issues too.
One issue is i have to clear cache and force stop Playstore and services to get a list of updates to show up. I keep hitting check for updates and nothing, but when i do the above i get some updates appear straight away
Another issue is my list of beta apps dissapears every night at 9pm and magically reappears next morning at 9am. This also makes the security updates for play services in biometrics security settings dissapear at the same time. After months of arguing with Google and them blaming Samsung, telling me im running beta firmware (which i never installed beta, i went straight to Android 10 Stable) doing a complete factory reset and clean install, the problems still prevailed, then i found an old nexus 10tablet and installed my google account. When the beta apps ect dissapears from my S10plus it also simultaneously dissapears from the nexus 10.
The nexus 10 only has Android 6, has a different version of playstore and services. Yet Google Still insist its because my S10plus is only on beta firmware, even though i sent them about phone screenshots.
Its pretty obvious that this is some kind of syncing issue with Google servers and playstore services
But they refused to take ownership of the issues.
Hi guys, first of all, I came from miui 11.0.6.0 global stable rom and rooted with magisk. I update my note 7 to android 10 global stable version which release recently via "choose update package" in the setting. Everything works perfectly until I boot it up and got "System UI error" pop-up. After clicking wait, the UI restarted but its getting worst. Everything I did even locking the screen was sluggish. So in the end I change back to my original rom and unfortunately, my phone lags too but no error pops up. Trying to clear cache and even clearing the system via orangefox and reinstall the OS but it still lag. Wonder if anyone have the same issue and has solved it?

Stuck on dark mode
I successfully installed the Android 10 OTA update on my Redmi Note7 about two hours ago, however, my phone has been stuck on dark mode ever since.
The toggle isn't activated from quick settings, neither is it switched on from the display settings. This is happening despite my battery being at 68%. It only disable dark mode when I plug it in power outlet.
Please, who knows how I could fix this? I like dark mode but not during the day or in a well lit environment.
I've tried downloading the Themes for Telegram app, using the security app to scan as I read somewhere, heading into developer settings to make sure that dark theme isn't enabled, rebooted my phones a couple of days ago times, with and without charger charger plugged in. I should note that my status bar has been acting weird since I updated to MIUI 11 in January, like showing black icons and text on black background, and vice versa. And the battery icon not reflecting the actual battery status.
Someone help, please. This is getting to my nerves already. ??

I've resorted to doing that, but I have to first find a way to backup my app data. My concern, however, is that being that I don't have OrangeFox/TWRP already flashed and rooted, doing that now might lock me out, as I've read comments, on custom recovery threads, that flashing a custom recovery triggers password/PIN request, and formatting data is the only way past it.
My decision not to modify the phone is hitting me hard, now.
Fixed!
I only charge my battery fully every now and then. I don't usually leave it plugged in up to 90% even. Well, I decided to do that, yesterday—to fully charge it. And voila! At 90%, a notification came in that said something along the line of: 90% charged – features enabled (unrestricted)
The notification came from "Battery Saver" but not MIUI. Seems to be fragments of AOSP, can't say for certain, but when I tapped on the notification, it just opened a blank (white) screen. And trying to open the app info reveals it as the "Settings" app.
I had the hunch that it could be caused by remnants of AOSP—one of the first things I tried was use Nova launcher's activities shortcut to see if I could get an activity that points to AOSP battery saver. Then I also used "Hidden Settings For MIUI" to run advanced search for "battery" and "saver", but got no result.
I'll monitor to see if it would come back, in which case I'd try to clear settings app data, and hope that it'd get rid of it entirely.
MIUI 11 based on Android 10 has really got the phone performing nicely again, something MIUI 11 pie update wrecked. The update before this one, MIUI 11.0.6.0, was the worst OEM update I've ever had since I started using Android back in 2012. Just horrible performance, considering the specs of the phone.
