I can't get my heart rate monitor to work. Ever. I open S Health and go to the page. I follow the instructions and it says it failed to read.
Ideas...?

Youre dead on the inside. :/ Sorry you had to find out that way
Unroot it then root it back. Thats what i did and got my Shealth working again.
It is very picky, I have to try all my fingers before 1 will read. Some days it won't work at all, other times it will read the first time. My suggestion is just keep trying different positions and fingers, it will go eventually.
I had problems when I brought mine home also. I reinstalled Android through Odin and mine works great now.

That last sentence ......
Good catch, wasn't going for that, but your right on!
"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID" would have been appropriate there for sure.
Not to mention its under the thread about getting one's heart rate going. Very well played.
Do u have a case on?
I have the thin spigen case on mine, there is plenty of room for my finger

Ok, so like...two days ago, I followed qbkings video on how to root & clockworkmod an epic with EI22, well it worked. I got recovery working A ok and played around with some roms and stuff. They all worked for the most part, but after rebooting my phone, the SAMSUNG loading screen wouldnt fade away, realizing it had been soft bricked. I tried recoveries but they didnt work. tried tutorial after tutorial after tutoria, but no luck. When trying the Odin unroot method It'd always be stuck on like a factory. file, and keep getting the phone - ! - computer error afterwards. Ive tried looking around the forums and such, but no go. I really need help with this.
You didn't look to hard. There have been 5 threads like this in the last 2 weeks. Go to the stickies, top of development and follow post 1 of How to restore a semi-bricked Epic.

Uh yeah, that was one of the first posts I tried. Never worked for me. Followed exactly step by step and repeated the process five times, but ive been constantly getting stuck on factoryfs.rfs
oh ****, now it wont even turn on. tried charger usb, nothing! no indicator or anything. damn. am I screwed?
I think you were better off leaving your phone alone. If following instructions is difficult, than that should have been your first clue. Id post a link to help you, but you have already read and tried it, and even that didn't work........time for you to buy an iphone I guess.

Try pulling the battery and sd card, let sit for an hour with usb unplugged, then connect to usb cable with odin running and try to boot into download mode.
If it goes, pop the battery in and load up ei22 or another odinable tar along with the recovery in qbkings videos. Make sure only reboot is checked in odin.
If not, go back and try every step in the sticky. I doubt that you have a problem that has not been experienced already.

So you tried buying and using a better cable? And tried with both the battery and sd card out using only the computer as a power source like the thread in Development said to do?

Sometimes the truth hurts.
I tend to agree with that sentiment, nothing against you OP, but there are some that gravitate to technology and feel at home, and then there are some that gravitate and lack the necessary skills for something like this.
This is a very straight-forward task, especially with all of qbking's hard work in making those very easy to follow videos, and other's time typing out tutorials, so I really fail to see how most have so much trouble making it work. Maybe they belong in the latter analysis.

We all started somewhere on this, and I bet most people didn't have success right away. I know I didn't on either platform I've worked on. I'm just sick of the n00b flaming around here. These people might be the ones who's roms or kernels you running in a year. Just show some respect.

Youll have to find one of them jigs to get you back into download mode I assume usually time heals all mistakes though if your inpatient id look up how to make an odin(download) reset jig ( I think its called that). I think there a thread about that lying around here somewhere...

Yeah, not trying to knock on you too hard, but qbkings videos should be all you need for successfully rooting and flashing. He works hard on them and is very clear with instructions.

Yup, Ive tried different cables,ports, no battery, battery but got nothing. I thoroughly read through the entire post and tried what was suggested and got nothing. Phone wont turn on or do anything. I'm thinking that i'm screwed. I have been thinking about getting a replacement epic for a while, cause some time ago I actually accidentally dropped it from my desk and this happened to it http://imgur.com/ZBlNn still worked fine, so I didn't really bother thinking about replacing it, but now I'm guessing that I have to. If I do end up requesting for a replacement, any tips/fore warnings about what I should say when I talk to the guys over at sprint before i end up mumbling like an idiot.

With the soft brick you might have been able to save it. It happened to my brothers phone and what I did to fix it was wipe everything, factory reset
Then flash stock rom. Wipe everything again
Then flash stock kernel
Wipe everything again
Then it was perfect.
If you had already been flashing roms.and such then your problem wasn't following directions.
You just might have flashed a rom without a supported kernal. Causing bootloop
As far as where you are now.. maybe tell then you dropped it and it never turned back on?
I don't think they can ever find out you rooted it if it never turns on again lol

Don't use the broken screen as the reason or they will charge you around $100. Just try and make sure you get across the point that its the faulty phone (even if it isn't) and make sure you have an accurate believable story on how it got bricked. If you mention anything about messing with root or anything similar they won't replace it.
True. But on another note you can't say much. Only other thing I can think of is saying maybe you tried updating the device and it died

Seriously you ignored the odin mode jig? it jumps you back into download mode and you should be able to odin back to eco5........ Ill find a how to for ya.
Its all over a simple google search and you can find a usb jig for about 8 bucks.

thanks dyehya for the howto tutorial!
Jus tell them you took it off charge this morning and it wouldn't come on.
Did you try the mythological magic button? The pin hole behind the cover next to the camera lens?
After my patiently waiting for the release of this awesome device I went to the Sprint store and got some hands on time...
When I got to the S-Note app and started writing the pen dropped out in the middle of the screen....
I went to two different stores and tried 3 different phones.... Was even threatened to have the fuzz called because I was trying to download a paint app to verify the issue
Anyone else notice this......
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Just tried mine and no problems. I'm able to make lines all the way up and down and across. I made giant loops and it didn't drop once.
Thats cool...
I was sitting here thinking there has to be something simple that is causing it to drop out and the only thing that i have come up with is the stores security device on the back...
magnets can cause it to drop out. also there is a setting under the tab thingy on the s pen. turning it one way makes it more sensitive and turning it another less.

I just got back from a Sprint store to research the same thing. I figured it was the security tag also because it was the same on both display models.
Couldnt get one because, of course, they didnt have any in stock.
When I go back ill show them the issue and see if they will remove the tag to see..
No one else has had a problem yet other then those displays....

I also went to the sprint store to try out the GN2 and was thinking the exact same thing. The S pen definitely stopped working in the middle of the screen. felt like i had to press pretty hard to get it to register and the dot did not seem to be accurate in terms of where the tip of the pen was.
I have no problems using mine. I use it for draw something. works great!
Hi- on stock rom, rooted. Whenever I touch the screen a small white dot appears. It follows my finger if I move it.
I disabled "Show Touches" in Dev Options but it persists.
Any help ?
Thanks,
Tom
It sounds exactly like show touches. Try turning it back on and then off again. And maybe a reboot for good measure.

I did try that but no luck.
I would turn it on and reboot, then turn it off and reboot. If that didn't get then I'd just spend the 15 minutes and reimage it.

I mean i understand that this is a kindof temp fix to get data off device
But. Wtf. You guys in reality all your doing is voiding waranty. Absorbimg moisture from the fridge. Setting off the moisture strips.
Like this is the first time ive heard this one and thats got to be the dumbest idea ive ever heard. And from what i read it dont even work half the time or more. Its boots up for 30 40 seconds. Isnt a fix.
Then as the device heats up in the fridge just makes even more condensation.
WOW. Ive heard it all now

i didnt come out and say it if thats the case corecting me or not u just said i too so u watch yours too
im just making a point that putting a phone in a fridge is a dumb idea and all its doing is tripping the indicators
and voiding any waranty anyone had of getting their g4 fixxed
come on.
this is stupid to be arguing over wtfs and other words
i hold a completly valid point thats its a stupid idea
just because someone says it works and it may have temp worked lets jump a bridge ive read about people claiming lg says their craps been wet and the same people put their crap in a fridge
both of you ive been in this game a long time 100 post apiece for u guys memebers since 2011
so not much input from either of u ove what like 6 years. at least im trying to help people.
risking my device for testing porposes to help the community. says ure on a nexus on tapatalk. do u even own a g4?
im just trying to keep people from making stupid desicions based off others "findings"
Snooping around my profile now lol. Do i own one? Well i bought two back in November 15, so i own two actually, (one of which died a couple of weeks ago), and think that qualifies me to follow this thread, if that's ok with you?
By the way the "c" word is "cussing" also [emoji14]

Yea u kinda got one. Lol. Hate it for you that one of the ure g4s died. Just please dont put it in the fridge before sending it in. Lol.
Well having 2 i guess doe qualify u into the threads.
What's the matter? My G4 suddenly got the bootloop problem, and I had no backup of some data.
I did put it in the freezer and luckily managed to complete a full backup.
It worked and didn't harm my device... send it for repair, got the mobo replaced.
This thread should be deleted, I don't get the point of creating a topic to complain about that, seriously.

its just a point just cause ures made it ok
we all know that moisture can form as the device heats up in a cool place its common science
aside from if it works or not its dangerous and can lead to tripping the moisture indicators
mods please delete my thread here its just causing issues and arguments.
no one sees my point and i see no need to keep this thread alive either
No comment
I left it 30 minutes max in the freezer. It's no problem.
Putting a device in the fridge is not the same as throwing it in water.
I can't imagine LCI being triggered by fresh air. Smh.
Hi everyone! Ok does anyone use a Samsung Galaxy watch if so can you look and see on s health app see how many steps it says you have taken with the watch how many steps you have taken with the phone and then see how many steps you have taken altogether and see if the watch and phone steps add up to match the steps altogether does. And report back here plz thankyou.

That's strange.
Let me give an example say I done
453 steps on watch
And 224 on phone now when you click all steps that should add both together if I'm right. That makes 677 but for some reason I'm always about 50 to 60 steps short
I've read that the update that's just come out is supposed to fix a steps problem along with the heart rate monitor and battery.

Not quite. It's not supposed to sum steps, it's more like supposed to try to figure out which steps weren't registered on one device or the other so that you end up with a best guess of total steps. The all devices steps will always be a higher number, it will never be a straight addition of the two. Well, unless say you were only using your phone or only using the watch for hours at a time the entire day..

I took mine to the gym today and actually watched my screen while on the track (thankfully it was almost empty so I didn't run over anyone) . It was unbelievably accurate, more than I expected. It was tracking me step for step and everytime I suddenly came to a stop, it would immediately stop counting. I tried all sorts of tests, taking one or two steps, running a few steps, then stopping etc. Not once did I catch it adding steps or not counting.
