Improvements in S8500XPKG6 Bada 2.0 (over KG5)

With only few hours of use, here are the visible improvements of S8500XPKG6 firmware over the previous S8500XPKG5:
The Good
1. No need to set debug level to "Low". Very rare crashes.
2. Kies can now detect phone firmware information
3. Apps can now be downloaded and installed via kies.
4. Now you can delete/replace your Samsung accounts (e-mail and pwd) from "Accounts" after signing in.
The Bad
1. "Add account" in Accounts take so loooong to respond (at times even stalls) when pressed to add new account.
2. Route 66. No option to sync license. Only option to buy (even if you already have an active license).
3. Search results in Samsung Apps is nearly invisible ; font size is very very small (same in KG5).
4. All games apps/games that did not play in KG5 don't also play in KG6 firmware (e.g Asphalt5, FinalStrike 3D, Turbo Granny, etc).
And The Ugly?
This is left for all who have used the new firmware version to share their experiences here .

I had to switch to "low" or google app and other applications would not open and the blue screen appeared.
The Facebook app is unstable in my case. If I send a status update works, but if I try to comment on my status or the status of someone the app crash . I can only write in status through the social hub, but there does not have all the features like the app.
Gmail only downloaded the first 50 messages stored in e-mail (which are 2007), I can not get recent messages.
The apps that I installed did not work.

All my e-mail accounts work fine. I only selected "Last week" in setting, so they retrieve only mails in the last one week. Maybe because I am using "socialhub premium" activated.
Some apps don't work but some do. Bruce Lee, NFS Shift, Diodict dictionaries, Al Jazeera Live, SPB TV, France 24 Live, etc, all worked.
Though I have not observed any crash or blue screen so far (on default debug level Middle), there may still be the need to set debug level to "Low" if you experience crashes.

For me in some aspects is better,but in other...I've just found out that i can not download apps at all via the samsung apps on the phone itself.Invalid pasword on both my samsung accaunts..I've written it several times and every time i am sure it's the right one.Whatever..
p.s. Do not ever put the dictionary widget on the homescreen.It will get your phone to endless bootcycle and you will have to flash again.

My phone always install apps/games in internal storage even though i've selected memory card in Installation location. Is it a bug in KG6 ?

stune also nt working

@hisee For me, STune is working, maybe your driver is too old.
@crionic I got that problem, too. But: you can solve it easily: it's the dictionary that tries to build a word from what you type. (it does that regardless whether globally disabled or not, so it's a bug). Longer tap on the key that shows your lang-code (eg: the globe with EN or whatever) and the options will open, disable text recognition, delete the already typed chars and re-enter your password. That's it.
@hany0u That the apps won't work is *not* a bug. Bada 2.0 is a new major version with API changes. Apps that work (several, eg: Spirit, TurboFly 3D, Caligo Chaser, EVAC, Radiant, Buka etc pp) simply never used the changed API. All others need to be updated, so I excpect them to work around September, when the final is coming out.

when i access to you tube or picasa through communities upload' my phone restaring. even i put debug level low. and also samsung application giving error "network not found" any solution. thanks for advance.

New font (Samsung Font) is a little too wide in other languages, than English. It could be good to left us choice which font we will use - old or new. Choco cookie is childish IMO.

Gps nt working . i am trying to do setting but its nt opeing ( *#4097*4097#)

After installing the rom, from the keyboard made this code:
*#5239870*# then select PreConfig then *#27236*# then press and select the code DBT & KOR

Where can I report bugs on Bada 2.01?
-Have a problem, every time I pick up the phone when someone calls the phone restarts.

[Q] Costom ROM with decent Universal Search...

Can anyone tell me if there's a custom rom or an app that allows you to search texts and emails (gmail) from the search bar?
I was told that the Nexus did this (ie search texts and mail as part of the universal search) but when I got it and looked in the settings for Google Now, there was no mention of including emails or texts in any searches

Anyone, please?

WOW, all you guys using custom ROMS and no one tried to search for anything using universal search?

Well, as I've understood it.
Apple have a patent for including search his on mail and local media/files, and I believe Google have removed that functionality from the OS. Or was this the galaxy SIII only?
/Edit: It was for the SIII, I also tried to search locally, and I got hits from my phone book on searches. It works, but you don't hit the search button (write the word and results show with hits locally without pressing the search button).

Snote app refresh issue on Note 8

anyone else have a refresh issue with the Snote app on the note 8?
i have recently bought the note 8 to add to my note 2 and 10 (yes i think it is ridiculous that i have the 3)
all my devices have the notes synced but only the note 8 refreshes for about a minute each time i open the snote app
i haven't had an issue like that with my 2 and 10 and i must say it is getting on my nerve specially that i''m use to quick note accessing for work and drawing
please share with us your feedback on this issue and will keep you posted if i get it solved.

Issue update
it stopped the refresh lag on it's own
don't know how, but all systems go and enjoying the experience so far.
i did receive an email from Samsung support telling me that they didn't notice any similar issues with any of the other devices.
they also suggest to force stop the program and clear cash (but do make sure u have a backup or all ur notes are synced on the cloud)
I do have a considerable number of notes synced on note 2 and note 10 so maybe note 8 was just getting use to having a lot of your notes being synced over multiple devices
if you noticed the same issue, please share and keep us all posted

the issue is back

it was solved for a bit over 2 months maybe after i went to google drive and unautharized the s note app from the list of options.
now it's back and driving me crazy...
are you still facing the same?
i think it might be related to the samsung account s note sync only for the note 8 as my other device is ok
i've noticed that the s note app on the 8 has different Sync options in the menu list

I have a same issue, very annoying...
Every time i reopen s note, or return from editing mode,
it refreshes for about 10 seconds.
I removed Samsung account, and disabled s note app in Google drive,
but nothing seems to be helping.
Please update if a solution found..

my solution
ok, maybe this will help someone:
what i did was
1. clearing cash of 2 s note apps in app manager
2. uninstall google drive app
3. copy all files from s note folder in file manager to some other folder (backup)
4. delete all files from s note folder
5. run s note app, and import backed up files
6. install google drive app back
s note opens very fast,
no refreshing anymore.

Hey there...
It is the same solution i have although i didn't have to make a copy or delete the google drive folder. you can depend on your samsung account backup for that
i'll write this for others visiting here with the same issue
clearing both S note apps of cache from the app manager is a must after disabling the google drive snote app (on google drive) as mentioned on previous posts in this thread
once you do this the Snote folder will be empty, so by restarting the device it gets your files back from the Samsung sync
the image icon on each note will appear in good time so don't worry it's not lost
you should avoid going to Snote settings and choosing to sync with google...your samsung sync is enough
This issue might happen again after a while (it reoccured with me after more than 2 months and drove me crazy) so you will have to go through the same steps again
other samsung note models (note 2 and 10) have different sync options than the 8 where u have the option to sync with google based on your demand rather than automatic...and if automatic it happens passively in the background when ur not accessing ur Snote...problem with the 8 is that this doesn't happen in the background so it checks ur google folders every time you access Snote
my guess is that the lag happens when the snote app requests from the google server an update on the spot (samsung app talking to google app only when you open the snote rather than before or after you are done)
I hope they address this issue in their next software updates.

"Okay google, Navigate home" is no longer working for me.

I use this feature all the time but after i clean wiped my phone now it either pulls up 3 businesses with home in the name or it will pull up 2 contacts that happen to have home in the title. Not sure why it isn't working right. Telling it to navigate to work still works correctly.
I already have my home set in the google app and in google maps.

For myself, I say "OK Google, how do I get to home". Tells me how long it will currently take and I just need to tap navigate icon.

Here's what i found...
I have read about this problem so many places and seen so many solutions - none of which worked for me.
Today - I finally found out where my "work" and "home" were stuck and preventing navigate to... from working for these locations. Short form - they were stuck in my Google+ account, but NOT in the places category. It was my contact settings for home and work. They were set to blank in my Google plus profile. It didn't matter that I had them set in my phone. It didn't matter that I had them set in Google Maps (both on Android and on the web). Caches - meaningless. In the end, it came down to the fact that those values were blank in my Google+ account - THAT is what stopped the service from working.
Thank me if I helped.

thanks! i tried you're recommendation and now it also works when I say "navigate home". I was stalling on trying it at first cause my wife is sleeping next right next to me and i didn't want to wake her. I went for the whisper and it worked lol.

? Yeah I think I used to try that too and noticed it didn't work one time. Then I realized in a Google commercial they would say "How do I get to..." and gave that a try instead. So I just use that most of the time.

Go to google plus on your browser Click on your profile. (This is from my phone, mind you) click on the info button on the rightside (the circle lettered "i").
Your location should be stored there (make sure its private). Next turn off your accounts sync on your phone and then back on. Accounts/Google turn off on everything and then back on.

Installing a larger package of google apps fixed the navigation problem for me. It seems in the nano or smaller package some essentiell voice things are missing.

Phone number auto populating, ok google detection

I have been using various android phones for several years and really liked the feature where when one starts to dial a number it populates not only contacts matching but also recently dailed numbers but in this pixel 3 xl it doesn't seem to happen and it only populates matching contacts but not recently dialed numbers, is this not a feature of stock android and something other brands do and if not how do i enable it, and the other issue is i recently brought and activated google home mini and when i say the hot word when both devices are nearby both mini and my phone respond ( i have disabled that settung in phone before hand )and i only want mini and not the phone to respond in that situation, how do i achieve that, thanks.
