Hey guys, I'm ROOTED though on stock Touchwiz. I've had this problem for ages but just never got around to trying to solve it until today. When I try to use the s pen in Google documents (I know it doesn't write, just using it for finer selection of text in large documents and writing with Swype) it vibrates constantly when I hover over the text and the text selection indicator jumps all over and even sometimes highlights text without my intention to do so. Anyone know what's going on?
The s pen SEEMS to be working fine OTHERWISE in all other writing applications, chrome, and nova launcher just as it's supposed to. I have searched on Google and elsewhere here on xda for an answer but it seems I can't find any pages of anyone with a similar problem. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I had same vibration problem...
...on my Note 3 and now my Note 10.1 2014, and finding no solution just switched all vibration options off.
However I do still get text selection problems. Moving stylus away from selected Docs text causes the text to be deselected. This does not occur in any other app including Sheets.
Halp!

Have you tried the gmd spen app? I have been using it since I have rooted, and it allows Samsung and custom made gestures

Hi,
Thanks. Alas, 1. My Note 10.1 2014 is not rooted (I don't root my devices) 2. This app doesn't have much to do with the bug in Google Docs (or the S-Pen drivers) that is causing this problem.
Same problem here. Note 3 on T-Mo. Can't find another mention of this anywhere online.
Note 4 Too
I had a problem with Google Keyboard when I first got the phone but they fixed it in an update. Google Docs is impossible to use with S-Pen and disabling air view or pointer does not even fix the problem. Very strange.
I have the exact same problem on my Note 2 N7100, however it doesn't happen every time, sometimes there are no problems while at other times it all goes nuts
Doesn't make sense to me, I tried several different ROM's too but with same results

Hey XDA.
A couple of guys i know have a problem with their browser reading the text out loud in the adress bar, where the URL are.
The problem came after updating to 4.04, they haven't installed any new apps, neither did they use a dock.
Anyone else having this problem? Or a fix?
//reffer2
Sounds like you may have the "TalkBack" option turned on.
You can find this under: Settings > Accessibility (phone settings, not in your browser)
It is at the very top.
No. It's turned off
Try checking the accesability settings with the atachment featires being down right now i cant sopw you my settings but pm me and ill send a screenshot.
On the googlenexus channel at youtube theres a series of instructions on accesibility. Seems that when you start the device the first time and draw a rectangle on the screen it will activate the accesibility features for blind people.

Hey.
We figured out the app "light flow" was causing the troubles.
After uninstalling it, everthing worked flawless. We tried reinstalling it, and it still works.
So something must have went wrong, but it is working now
When launching google now, yesterday I could either type in the search, or click on the mic and start talking OR saying "Google" and the phone will automatically start hearing my search inquiry.
Today, it seems that "Say Google" is completely removed? I haven't done any updates, what's going on?
Anyone facing this problem or know how might I get the "say Google" back?
As far as I know, it only works if Google Now is open...
it doesn't work from the home screen or other places.
I know that it only works for US English. Ensure that you are in fact on US English for your language.
I understand that, the problem is, it's even removed from there! The settings is also removed !
Please guys check your phones to confirm.
PS: The language is English(US), check 2nd picture

A lot of people reported many problems with Google Now being fixed once you download the offline engine. You try that?
mine are also gone. i never tried pressing the voice button when starting google now but this time there is not even an option that instruct us to say google now anymore. on 4.1 it was there. 4.1.1 has none.
I still have the option to say "Google" and it works just fine.
Yep, me too. Still able to say Google on US English that is (it sucks how UK English lacks features).
Did you perhaps turn it off?? It's under settings in Google now.

I have the same issue as OP.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 5.0.1, but the same thing happened with AOSP JB. When I flashed it I could say 'Google' in Google Now but some time after getting the phone set up I lost that ability. I've also lost the 'Hot word' menu option in the Google Now->Voice settings.Everything is Default US English. And I have the offline engine downloaded and I can still tap the microphone icon to voice search.
Weird thing is: I was showing it off to a few friends in a restaurant last night and it was working again. Now this morning, it's gone again.

Not sure why... what region are you in??
I also read somewhere on here someone lost google now voice but it was because they changed a setting in accessibility... did you by chance??

It worked once for me.
I backed out, went to try again and it didn't work.

hi guys, im the OP. just want to say, the problem is solved.
I simply rebooted the phone and it magically reappeared. I didn't touch anything. This is very weird.
I think it has to do with the language selection right inside Google Now's settings under Voice.
If you tap on English it gives you the various types of English to choose from.
When I select "English Canada" the ability to say "Google" is missing.
However if I specifically select "English US" it reappears instantly.

I tried all English version available. No luck. Well of course, as a heavy flashers, I rebooted many times.

I just want to say that it's randomly getting removed after a while and I hard reboot will sometime bring it back. I have no reason why this is happening, if anyone has a clue, please share.
hey guys I just found out, after I reboot everything works fine, the "say google" is there, but lightflow doesn't work. However, after I went into accessibility and turn light flow off and on again (it was on) lightflow works again, but the "say google" disappears.
yea, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778659
Light Flow is probably causing the problem
Ok, here's the issue I'm running into:
I use NFC to automate my phone profiles like a lot of us probably do with this phone (AT&T S3, using Samsung TechTiles w/NFC Tag Launcher app). Until yesterday, it had been working with complete and total reliability.
However, yesterday I decided to install the following Google Wallet fix to enable Wallet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083&page=114, <-- which by the way works like a charm
Anyway, since then, my NFC for normal profiles (Home, Work, Night time, etc) that I set up initially doesn't always work when I touch or swipe the phone over a TechTile --sometimes it works, other times it doesn't--. So, as often as not, I have to go into phone Settings and turn off and then back on again the NFC switch. At that point, it works fine once again, but having to go into Settings to disable and then re-enable the NFC function kind of defeats the purpose of having working NFC hardware (for regular use with profiles anyway).
Anyone else run into this problem or one similar to it?
P.S.: I have rebooted, etc. multiple times also and yet still, this issue randomly persists.
Any help is appreciated.
-Ryan
Wow really? No one else has installed Wallet and found that it broke their NFC for other NFC-related things (which by the way seems to be what happened)?

This is my problem too. I have to open google wallet, enter my pin, exit google wallet, then NFC becomes alive again.
Don't know what the root cause of the issue is.
Bump. Any solutions to this?

Does anyone else still use this? Seems like since 4.2.2 that it's annoyingly broken. It sends the same notification 2-3 times.. I just sent a link to my phone.. Got it, closed the notification. Put the phone down, and a few seconds later the same notification was pushed through. I then looked on my Nexus 10 and see the same notification was pushed 3 times.. I noticed this a few times earlier this week when I used it but just shrugged it off as a bug in the system and let it sit for a few days.. I've signed in, out etc.. Still does it.
That being said.. Anyone else seeing this behavior and can anyone recommend a similar app that works just as well, low memory footprint and doesn't keep the device awake?
I use the built-in tab autosync function of Chrome, if you're logged in both your PC and Nexus 4 on Chrome. You can open tabs that are open on your PC and vice versa.

*DOH*.. Thank you! I completely and utterly forgot about the chrome tab sync that is just seamless. "other devices".. That works perfectly and one less app on the phone too!
Thank you!
Chrome to Phone has been working fine for me. I personally use the AOSP browser so the other isn't an option

Strange.. I'm definitely not going crazy though.. A quick Google search shows this has been an off again on again issue since 2010.. I'm just going to uninstall it from all my stuff and use the Chrome sync.. Just got to change my habits.

Used it several devices ago but have recently been using Push Bullet. Let's you do the same thing but also keys you push other things such as files.

Just a tip - If you suddenly start getting the Camera Failed message don't try factory resetting or running back to the store to exchange right away. It is most likely NOT a hardware issue like so many people immediately declare. I did some Googling and for S5 forums (same Kit Kat/Touchwiz/UI) suggested removing any flashlight or other camera apps recently installed. I had just installed Go Flashlight. Took it off and voila camera fully operational again. No wiping, reload, or exchange needed. Maybe there's some conflict with the latest UI? Who knows. Hope this info helps and saves you a bunch of time and aggrevation.

Hy, yesterday i bought the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and after the reinstallation of all the app that i have on Samsung Galaxy S5, when i open the camera i look this error "camera failed".
I have the same problem on my Samsung Galay S5, i think that is impossible that i have 2 broken smartphone.
In Any case i have deleted the Google Camera and FOR NOW i have no problem.
Is possible that the Google Camera or other applications create a problem with the camera?
Any other experience?
I had this issue (and one when whole phone goes dark after attempt to use camera) but in my case one single reboot fixed issue. I did use master reset after it because TouchWiz start cashing on start up, all good now.
a have camera problem to but its not fix cleared catch/factory rest/update to 6.0.1
what should i do? changing rom may help?
