Samsung apps crashing in background - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

My phone freezing for a minute. When it comes out of the freeze I get 1 of 2 messages.
1 says, "Samsung watchon was not responding and closed" (or something like that)
The other message says, "Samsung mymagazine was not responding and closed" (or something like that)
Anyone else had issues with these? I have never even used either one of these apps, they're just in the background.
Stock ROM, not rooted.

I just did a search and this thread was the only result. I'm using that new tapatalk so maybe the search is flawed?
Can you post a link if I missed something?

Search what a useless comment. Anyway I've had the same problem with the My magazine thing and haven't found a solution yet

I was having the same problem with watchon and magazine - went in and set them up, rebooted and they seem to be fine (so far)

Having the same problem at least 6-10 times per day - Very frustrating. Never had such bad freezing on any phone before.

Made me laugh, thanks.:laugh:
Original poster, if its any conciliation I was on the toilet earlier and i too got the same Watchon error message, it occurred when entering Flipboard.

Guys, try to update those apps through Samsung Apps. Some bugs will be fixed and the crashes should stop. Also you can disable those apps of I'm not wrong. If nothing works, factory reset should do the trick.

Just got off the Phone with customer service - They are going to send me a new one - hopefully that one will work.

I have had it on my phone for 4 days and it works great. However, there are times when I hit the power button to turn it off and it will not wake up and I have to pull the battery out and reboot my phone. I have had it randomly reboot once, but other than that, it works great and is super fast. I'm impressed.
No need to pull the battery all you need to do is hold down the power button and it should reset

I have been flashing the dailies. Today's worked well. I did have random reboots on 8/20 nightly. Officially they will say it is experimental , but I am also using it as daily driver. Its pretty good. Its definitely the best custom rom out for the SGS3. The one thing that does suck it there is no S-BEAM in CM but its pretty clean otherwise.

I found the below on the Sprint forums. figured i would let ya'll know, if ya didn't already
While that would probably work it won't fix the issue, it just hides it from you.
There are a couple of things that can cause this. Any sort of third party messaging app can cause weird issues like this or if something becomes corrupted for some reason. The messages are normally intercepted by the voicemail app before they get to the messaging app, but if something is not working correctly the voicemail app can miss the message, so it will instead appear in messaging.
1. Open the Sprint Voicemail application
2. Press Menu and choose Compose
3. Record a message that is ~2-3 seconds long, it can be longer but doesn't need to be.
4. Send it to [email protected]
5. Within ~15 minutes your phone will re-register with the Visual Voicemail server and the messages should stop appearing.
That should fix the issue most of the time. This method is similar across all Android visual voicemail phones, and even the Samsung Instinct devices. Blackberries and iPhones have a completely different method.

I too would like to thank you as well. I downloaded it last night and what a
difference it has made all day! Stinks that MIUI has voice mail and not CM.
To answer your question @djayallday I believe that it's a trial for the visual voice to text part.
Voicemail itself should still work without a problem even after the trial period has ended.
Hope that helps

Multiwindow is disabled

Just to let you all know, multiwindow does not work on this build. Yes, I long-pressed the back button multiple times and it doesn't work. Might need to be updated like the international version did before it is functional. Kinda sucks, figured they would have launched it with that.
Can you check screen recording? I know it was removed from the international, but one can hope.

Video recording is such an important feature that Sprint will have so many people breathing down it's collective neck. They will have to fix it or risk public derision equivalent to Sony and their run in with Anonymous...ok maybe not that far, but you get the point.

LG keyboard greyed out options

Hey all. I just got the phone yesterday and am loving it btw. I liked using the LG keyboard and having the extra row on top with the numbers. However, after messing with it for a while, that disappeared and it started to say each letter out loud and most of the options are greyed out as seen in the screen shot. The only thing I have found in searching that might have caused it is trying out light flow lite. Has anyone else experienced this or know a way to fix it?

Hey all. I just got the phone yesterday and am loving it btw. I liked using the LG keyboard and having the extra row on top with the numbers. However, after messing with it for a while, that disappeared and it started to say each letter out loud and most of the options are greyed out as seen in the screen shot. The only thing I have found in searching that might have caused it is trying out light flow lite. Has anyone else experienced this or know a way to fix it?

Yes light flow and other apps seems to trigger the talkback feature even though its says its off. The solution I found is to go into setting then apps find the talk back app and uninstall it. Then all that will stop. If you ever need it again you can just install it again. I notice this only happen with LG keyboard. Other 3rd party keyboards are fine

That did it. Thank you so much! However, it worked to simply disable the Talkback app instead of actually uninstalling (it didn't have that as an option since it's a system app). Everything is good now!

There is no option there. Only a force stop option, but I believe that once you reboot your device the app is again active.

Got it and figured out what I was doing wrong. I too also shut down all the bloatware I could using this same technique. Now if I could only disable ATT Address Book for good.
