EK02 Bug Thread

Well no one has made one yet, so I'll do the honors.
I have seen a decrease is signal strength, but I have noticed better data speeds. I never had the LoS issue before, so I can't tell if this fixed it or not.
Source for EK02 still hasn't been released yet...
Also just a heads up Sprint updated Swype to the latest version in this update as well.

Sound bug is still there. I can't comment on LOS until I am running the new radio (currently on EG31).

What is the "Sound Bug?" And I also noticed that Samsung added arrows to the lockscreen.

Bug where some games and most emulators will randomly crash, usually within minutes.

This only seems to be an issue with the ET4g. Besides that I haven't noticed any other issues.

Can someone please test the headset control for music?

I was wondering the same thing until someone posted a link yesterday. Is it isolated to games because I thought the sound bug was how loud it got from 1 step below max to full volume. Lol

I tested with two headsets.
My Samsung earbuds (came with Moment) don't have any control.
My Klipsch (S2m) earbuds have two controls. Short press opens contacts, while long press opens Voice Talk.
I haven't tested it to answer or end calls.

No. I tried with the Samsung (stock) music app and the Google Music app. No luck. Screen is turned on if off, but nothing is changed.
ATM, the headphone button doesn't have any control over music.

Does anyone else have a problem when opening the app drawer, zooming out, then selecting a page only to bring you back to the home screen?

Yeah that's new. They removed the checkboarding from the browser and the "bounce." Thank the Apple likeness lawsuits ... Same stuff that was in the euro sgs2 updates.

I have this bug also. My lockscreen seems to have disappeared as well, but only on a critically low battery. Not sure if that is behavior or not since I have only had the phone for a day.

For your lockscreen go to Location & Security and set your lock period to immediately

I don't have an option to set the lock period. I'm on the stock ROM and unrooted.
The EK02 update has seemed to fix the touchscreen acting crazy while charging, but I'm not entirely sure about it.

this is NOT a bug, but do not want to start a new thread.

locate lost phone

I am looking for recomendations for "I lost my phone" apps.
Any feed back would be appreciated.
Thanks

Cerbus anti theft. Its $3, but I heard its really good. You can go on your computer, and you can find your phone on it through gps.
Also if you lost it because of theft you can lock up your phone, wipe your data, record voice, send the phone messages, and stuff like that.
Here's the demo video.

Will it also cause the phone to ring so if you misplaced it you can locate by sound? Will it turn the ringer on even if you had it on vibrate?

LookOut helped me find my phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout&hl=en
Lookout has a plan b app that can help you find your phone if you didn't have it installed. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sb29rb3V0LmxhYnMucGxhbmIiXQ..

If your phone is lost then Plan B sounds like what you need. Based on the positive reviews it seems like a winner.

I use avast and it works awesome. Left my phone at home but thought I lost it used my buddys for sms command and and found it in 5mins

I lost my phone. I use Sprint Total protection. you can use the computer to locate you phone and locates it right on a map. its free and works fairly well.

I would recommend where's my Droid, really works. I have a buddy who lost his phone, next morning after partying he realizes he doesn't have his phone,luckily his sister installed Where's my Droid on it, good thing he had a screen lock, and even more lucky the heroin addict who took it wasn't smart enough to turn it off. Anyway, turned out to be about 30 miles from where we live,dude returns it, looking all burnt out, skinny as hell,veins all purple ...even tried to get money for him returning it. Lol.

I also prefer the mentioned Cerberus. It does GPS location, and sending alarms like most of these apps. The thing that stood out to me was its remote camera and audio recording abilities. Also, I use a secure lock screen. With cerberus, you can have the phone automatically take a picture using the front camera, if an incorrect pattern/password was entered, and then email that picture. Also, the app is fully functional during the trial period. It's kind of scary how much permission I'm allowing these types of apps to have, but it's a gamble I'm willing to take at the moment.

Won't Install Third Party Apps Suddenly

I already have Unknown Sources checked. I was able to download third party apps in the past. Now when i try to install third party apps, on the installation screen it will not let me press the "install" button and nothing happens. So i have to press the "cancel" button. Anybody else experience this and know whats wrong?

If you installed screen adjuster, turn it off. It is a bug of the app.

what exactly do you mean by a screen adjuster app? An app that gets you new wallpaper, a app that adjusts brightness, or an app that adjusts the color/gamma? Which one?

How bout a reboot?
When you open an apk file to install the app, do you get a list of options of which installer to use?
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk 2

I power off my phone often and that has no effect.
yes. When you open the apk you get a list of which installers to use. I tried both installers and i could not get any third party apks to install.

Awesome!!! I couldn't figure this out for the life of me. I had to manually update my Note 3 to Kit Kat in which it wiped my phone, so I lost a bunch of 3rd party apps that I needed to reinstall. One of the new apps my buddy recommended during the in between time of me setting back up my phone was called "Twilight", a app to take the blues out and allow for more dimming of the screen for a better sleep before bed because of all those new studies saying the screen messes with melatonin levels and causes technology hangovers lol. A quick uninstall of that app and bam, it let me press the install button.

To be honest I did it by accident!
When I had no sound I start to look at all apps frozen....and that was one of the apps frozen. I guess my fat sausage finger have a mind of their own... :good: LOL!! JK!!
From now on i will use the pen all the time. When using the pen it even highlights each app so you know you are adjusting the right app.

It's preinstalled? It's the green app with an S. Should be in your app drawer if not check your application manager to make sure it's not disabled. Not sure if it even can be honestly.

Thank you, some how it got disabled.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app

It comes pre-installed but you have to open it once to have access to the heart rate.
If it was disabled, then this can only happen from the application manager menu.

Pedometer isn't really accurate. You can shake your phone up and down. And it'll registers it as a step. It's still cool though looking at health data through out the day. At work the other day I've walked over 6 miles.

I tested it. Went for a walk, counted close to 500 steps, and the pedometer registered within 20.
It works best in a pocket, not in your hand.

I haven't looked through the app uet, but I know on my S4 I was able to go into the settings for the set counter and set it up for my walking stride. I think it is generic from the get go and bases it off your height. I may take a look around and see if I can find the setting again. I do like using it.
When I used it on my S4 I counted a thousand steps and it was dead on. I was also checking the step counter on my work phone (a Casio Commander if I remember correctly) and it was off quite a few steps.

Anyone know how to remove the pedometer count from my home screen. I enabled it when I first got my phone and now I cant remember how to disable it.

Hrm, I thought that was a widget.. however I can't get a widget that looks like that on my homescreen from touchwiz. I can however get a widget like that to show up when I use apex.
Are you sure it's not a widget? Just long press on it and then drag to the top of the screen and drop on the trashcan icon.
If you are using another launcher.. the process should be similar.

Duh. Wow, I tapped and held it and set it as hidden and now it's gone. I don't recall adding a widget as I don't even use widgets with Smart Launcher. Weird. Thanks though.
