Already posted there. But opened new thread so that more people can help me. My phone details are

PHONE I9000DDKE4
CSC I9000DDKF3
I have rooted my phone n replaced livewallpapers.apk with given in that thread under system/apps taking backup of original file. But now i m not able to set live wallpapers. So pls help me if someone is having any solution. Or i have to do factory rest. Does it solve the problem? And does factory reset erase all the data on main memory n will i have to install all aps again?
Thanks in advance.

Ok. I think I should explain in depth what I have done.
I want Water Live Wallpaper of Galaxy S and for that I found a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161063.
But first I connected to Samsung Kies 2.0 and updted my phone to
PDA I9000XWKF3
PHONE I9000DDKE4
CSC I9000DDKF3
and according to that thread, I need to root my phone. So I flashed kernal to GT-I9100_XWKF3_insecure and rooted my phone using odin method. After root, I again flashed kernal to GT-I9100_XWKF3_original as found in one of the thread. After that I followed the method of replacing livewallpapers.apk as mentioned in above thread. But after that, there is no option for live wallpaper selection in Wall paper option. I thought that factory reset will solve the problem so I done factory reset (2 times) but still I am not having option of Live Wallpaper. Now pls somebody help n let me know what would be the problem? Is it the update which I done using Kies? Coz I think after factory reset, everything should be as defaulted. Or is thare any other way to enable live wallpaper? I also downloaded some live wallpaper from market n they got successfully installed but didnt find Live Wallpaper option.

I guess I have 2 problems. The first is, I was attempting to install the nexus s live wallpaper download, and I couldn't get it to work at all. I tried the update zip way, and I also tried the livewallpapers.apk. method, to no avail. Finally, I just gave up, and decided to move the original livewallpaper.apk back into system/app and deleted the nexus s download. The problem now is that my original live wallpapers wont show up in my personolize/home wallpaper settings any more. My evo is rooted and im running the warm 2.2 rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, I'm not exactly sure why it isn't working, but can you flash to a recent backup? I typically install live wallpapers the simple apk method and have no troubles with it.
Thanks for the response. I did in fact flash to a recent backup and now the original live wallpapers are back. Too bad I wasnt able to use the nexus s live wallpapers though.

WELL what you can do it do a google search on nexus live wallpapers apk file, then install them from the root of your sd card.

Grab the bar and pull it down so it's on the bottom of your screen instead of on the left side. Do you have an edit button now?

Hi Kia...nothing happens tried anyway
ANOTHER STRANGE THING...I DIDNT CHANGE ANYTHING...but now...the side bar has changed!!!
I just restarted the device...
give a look here and give a look to the other screenshot i posted before
screenshot 1: two gmail icons
screenshot 2: 2 videoplayer icons
no reason for this
OH!!! now i remember the biggest change i did lately...
a couple of days ago...i installed a .apk file to open flash animated web sites...then i had to install Firefox, because ive read that it is the only one browser that can browse flash sites...after installing that small file...i downloaded it somewhere on a forum of developers...not here...i dont remember where...but i was happy because it worked...i can now see flash sites on firefox...
could be an issue with the sidebar??? mmmmmm
But...i repeat...I HAVE NEVER EVER seen the edit button since the first day i had the baby....
This is strange indeed. Your warranty should covers software issues right? If so, you can take it to them and tell them the problem.
But first you should do a Factory Reset of the phone and see if it solves it (warning: this will delete your data).
You could also flash a new stock rom that has the sidebar working properly over your existing rom.

My warranty should cover the issue...as the i bought the phone 10 days ago...
With the Factory Reset i loose everything? Installed appz...contact numbers...settings and so on?
I contacted samsung italy by phone, the girl didnt understand a ****...obviously...but she took notes, registered my issue with a number, and she told me they will call me back when they know more.
Will post news here.
Thx for you attn Moh!

Backup your stuff, reinstall firmware (Kies or Odin).
Setup scripts might have failed on first startup.
Yes, factory reset restores your phone to its original state, so it deletes everything. However, things like contacts, messages, settings, call logs can be backed up easily though through Google and Samsung servers. Also make sure to backup your music, videos, pictures and other media files stored in your internal memory to your PC, as they will be deleted as well. So basically you can restore these things easily, the only thing that you have to restore manually are your apps.
(if you're rooted you can backup your apps and their data using Titanium backup and similar apps, but since you're not rooted you have to download and install them again if you decide to reset).
Who's your provider? My phone is branded by T-Mobile. It seems that the branded models of the n7105 all have this issue. Mine is 3 days out of the box and I'm having the same problem. No edit button and some apps doubled.
I've read similar issues in other forums - all with the 7105 Models

The startup fail could be a good point...mmm...
Please, give just a few words about reinstalling the firmware...
I just have to connect the phone with a PC with Kies...and then i have to choose 'firmware upgrade'?
Or i should do the hard reset from the phone menu then connect with pc and kies and proceed with the upgrade??
mmmm....need help on this...

Thx Moh...now i Have the complete view of my phone's future
as i wrote...the hard reset will do again the start up of the firmware automatically? or i have to connect with Kies later?
The factory reset should restore your phone as you first bought. (remember the first day you opened the phone, when it asked you to enter your google account, samsung account, dropbox account etc etc) that's what a factory reset does, it restores the phone to "factory" state-- hence the name. You don't have to connect to kies later.
If after factory reset you still have the problem, then that means that they gave you a buggy software, and you can tell them that.
To be honest? If I were in your position I would probably root my phone, find appropriate firmware in www.sammobile.com, and flash that in my phone through Odin. However, I didn't recommend this route to you as you seem to be inexperienced in doing this kind of stuff and it may void your warranty (or worse, brick your phone) if you don't know what you're doing. That's why I suggested factory reset, which can be done from the phone itself, it is perfectly safe to do, and doesn't require any experience to perform.
Hi
I have called Sprint and searched the internet but to no avail. I'm running non rooted stock. I try to change the wallpaper to another stock wallpaper and get this message every time......"security policy restricts changing wallpaper".
Sprint has no idea how to fix this and either do I. I'm just trying to use another pre installed wallpaper. Any ideas how to fix this strange problem without rooting would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
turn in for warranty

Have you tried a wipe via recovery. It sounds like Safe Mode but there should be indicators for that lol. I am assuming you havnt played with administrators and erased something so yeah. Start with wipe and go from there.

Which ROM do you use ?
Is your devise rooted ?
Is "Sync" enabled in your settings ?
Are using an ads-blocking solution ?
Did you tried to clean the app's data & cache ?
Please give as many informations as possible in order to get back a proper help
I'm on stock ROM 4.4.2,
yes my phone is rooted,
Can't find synch option in Zooper, wasn't needed before when it was working properly,
I don't use ad blockers,
yup, did the clean, didn't help

Problems related to specific apps must be reported to corresponding threads here in xda.
I noticed you have a lot of problems due to the intensive use of customisation apps. why not consider factory reset ?
factory reset didnt help

Hello, right now I have an issue with my Galaxy Note 3's stock AccuWeather widget being unable to find my current location. I am running on the 5.0 FOB6 firmware with root and the widget was running fine until this morning when it would not update. My location settings are set to high accuracy, and my GPS still works without issue and currently the widget is blank showing the time and the "Tap to add city" phrase. A factory reset did not fix things with the widget nor did clearing the cache and dalvik in TeamWin Recovery fix it. The only way the widget works is if I typed my current city into the search box after the "Location error" box goes away.

Have you recently installed any type of app that requires location services? Also battery saving apps and antivirus apps can cause this problem. They can kill the widgets request for location updates. If you haven't installed anything new like this, then there's one quick thing you can try. Go into your Apps manager and go to the All tab. Find the WeatherDaemon and force stop it and clear the data. Then find the LocationServices and force stop it and clear the data as well. You'll have to reset your location preferences but it may fix the issue.
As far as I remember the only app that I installed that really used location settings heavily was snapchat. Maybe the latest update caused an issue. The only Antivirus app I have is Lookout. Now I'm assuming by the "WeatherDaemon" you mean the Unified daemon. I have cleared the data from it but I don't know which app would be LocationServices.
Yes the Unified daemon is the same thing. They are named different depending on some ROM's. Mine is WeatherDaemon and I have a LocationServices also. Just look for anything under the All tab that says Location and kill it and clear data. It won't hurt anything. You may possibly have to reboot to rebuild the cache, but that about it.

I recently just did as you said by clearing everything that included location in all of my apps and rebooted the phone. The stock accuweather widget still shows up with the cannot find location error. At this point I am either contemplating downloading the firmware via sammobile and doing a fresh install with odin or extracting the weather widget from the stock rom and deleting the widget from my current state.

Yeah an Odin flash would definitely do the trick if it truly is just software. Have you tried downloading the AccuWeather widget from the Play Store to see if it has location issues? Or any other weather widget for that matter. Try that can see if it works correctly.

Hey me either, I'm determined to fix this issue as ever since I bought the phone I haven't had any issues software related from that point all the way up until yesterday morning. Haha. Well I'm going to do the full wipe in recovery, Odin Flash and reroot on the latest firmware which should be N900TUVUFOL1. Afterwards I'll update and see if things have been fixed.

Which drivers do you have? Some of them don't work correctly. The best way to get the ones that definitely work is to install Kies.

I too am having the exact same issue you described down to the T . I did all of thee above as well and nothing has been working to fix the problem. The only thing I didn't do was the factory reset, but that was going to be my next step if I couldn't find a solution. I also have the Note 3, the only difference is I am on Sprint. I found this thread through a Google search. I am beginning to think that maybe it's a connection issue between the stock software and Accuweather server maybe? I started having this problem yesterday. I also installed the Accuweather App from the Play Store and that one works fine.

I will really dig into the issue and see if I can find a fix for you guys. It's not just the Note 3 that's having this problem. I've seen people with the Note 4, S4, and S5 talking about it as well.
How weird is this! I just tried refreshing the location again a few minutes ago, and it started working again on its own! So NoteSeriesEnthusiast27 might wanna try again and see if it works for him too?

I actually went ahead with the full wipe solution and am in the process of setting up my phone again. I will tell you that the stock widget is back up and running again also @PackerFan310 I am glad that your widget is working again.
Glad your widget is also working again, just a shame that you had to go trough all that. I was so close to doing the same.
