[Q] S Health not working after Root - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I guess I can't really complain that it does not work now because I did root it but hoping there is a cause for this and I can fix it. I click on it and it freezes the phone entirely for about a minute and then comes up with a force close. A few other times it rendered the phone not usable and I had to restart it. I went in and force stopped it. I have not cleared the cache yet but will do that next. Anyone else have a fix for this. I actually use this a lot.

Camera stopped working

The camera has stopped working randomly. The only thing I could think of that might of caused it would be the phone some how shut down when it was in my pocket. When I start up the camera app it immediately closes. When I attempt to use Google goggles, it says cannot connect to camera. What can I do?
First off you can give us some more details as to what software you are running. Are you on a stock Sprint ROM? A custom ROM? Did you install any software and then notice this change? Does this happen 100% of the time?
I'm running the stock 2.2 rooted odexed rom. Stock kernel. And haven't installed any new software to cause this...
I've cleared cache, dalvik cache, camera app's cache and it still doesn't work...
No one has any idea? Has this ever happened to anyone else?
It happens to me on both ava stock 2.2 and now netarchys 2.2... I have to wipe everything to get it back for a few hours... it just did it to me again do you have netarchys fps fix?

This is the craziest thing ever. The camera has returned to working after 10 hours of not working. I didn't do anything to get it to return. I will be continuing to monitor the camera to see if it happens again... This is the first time it has ever happen and the first time I've been on a 2.2 Rom for a significant amount of time.
This just barely happened to my phone too! Grrrr!!!
I'm running Fresh.02 + I tried flashing several kernels to see if it would fix it but none of them helped.
kernels I tried, latest versions of: kingX, snap, netarchy
Will try to do a full wipe and flash the stock 2.2 rooted w/o any fancy mods. <--- ok this fixed it!
Does installing the 3D Gallery app cause the Sense camera app to randomly stop working?
I'm getting the same problem again on a different ROM.
UPDATE: I've uninstalled 3D Gallery & cleared data on the Camera app and it still doesn't work.
i am having this same problem. have flashed several roms with no fix. cannot pin point when this happened either. really frustrating. ive done reboots, wipe, you name it.
happened to me

Hi guys
Any luck with this problem? I'm using a rooted xperia neo running [email protected] #2 with an unlocked boot loader - I've used Google goggles many times before and then today its coming up with "Cannot connect to camera. You may need to restart your device" and yet the camera is working because behind this pop up I can see the image that the camera is seeing. I've tried to take a screen shot of this but the screen shot uses the camera and therefore I blanks out the image through the back lens.
I've also uninstalled the app and reinstalled it - cleared all Dalvik cache - as well as moved it to SD and made it a system app - none of these trials have made any difference.

Are you sure there are no problems or known bugs with the rom you are using? Have you tried reflashing your rom? (it might be a pain to do, but something in the rom might have broke and it can help to start fresh).
I never post here but I have had a problem with my phone's camera that I fix by some random thread I found a while ago so I thought I would share what helped me. The thread stated it is something to do with the camera's connection to the phone and sometimes with drops or bumps of the phone it becomes loose. All I had to do was turn the phone face down, put my thumb over the camera and press down with some force. Not enough to break it but just to reseat the connection. After that, restart the phone. I have done this a few times and it has been successful ever time. I hope you guys have the same success.

That is correct, in some cases i have found the camera has come unseated. but it could also be the board.

Random Reboots since JVB by OTA

This has happened to me twice while in my pocket since receiving the OTA a week ago. This never happened with ZV9 since getting the phone months ago.
Has anybody else seen this? Any ideas what this might be? Any apps to help figure out what's causing this? Is this related to the location service reboots that other phones on Jelly Bean like the Nexus were having?
I am not a big fan of Android version changes via "patching" for this very reason. I suggest doing a factory reset and see if it continues to happen.

Good call, thanks for the input. I was considering doing that if it keeps up.
I'll probably root and unlock soon anyway once I have some time.

I had this problem and it only happened after I had updated the Android Booster FREE app. I uninstalled Android Booster FREE (as it really wasn't useful, in my opinion anyway) and the problem disappeared. If you have this app installed maybe you can uninstall it and see if that solves your problem.
Thanks for the input, but I never use any apps of that nature, and no power saver apps either.

[Q] Freeze after app install

My device is a Samsung Galaxy S IIx SGH-T989D. Very similar to the T-Mobile model, but it is Koodo (Telus). It is rooted but running stock ROM.
My problem is that when I install an app, even from Google Play, my phone will freeze about 30 seconds after the install finishes. Works fine until freeze. It eventually reboots if i let it, i usually just hold power button until it turns off. After it reboots it works fine and the app that was just installed works fine.
I've read some other threads with related issues, but none are quite the same. Also only one had a suggested fix that didn't work and it honestly went right over my head. So does anyone have any clue how to fix this? Even just knowing what could be wrong would be nice.

What does that mean? Are you referring to the app in the play store called fix permissions?

[Q] S Health wont work?

I got my Note 4 retail about a month or 5 weeks ago, but I didnt really notice this initially as I rarely if ever have to reboot the phone. But when the phone reboots after it all comes up, the first thing that happens is S Health FCs. If I try to start S Health from the app drawer (or any other way) I get an FC. Everything else works right on this phone. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, have you gotten it fixed? How?

Are you running ART as your runtime under settings-dev options-select runtime system? If so, that will definitely cause this problem. AFAIK, S Health on works with dalvik.
That was it! So simple. I set it to ART the second I pulled it out of the box, and I'd totally forgotten about that. Changed and fixed. Thanks a bunch!

Can't press 'Install' when installing an APK

Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.
I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!
I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.

Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

Yes dude, that's correct and thanks for that valuable information I do clean my cache regularly and can't say I've come across the problem for a while, so thanks again.

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.
