HELP PLEASE Apps Missing after Factory Reset

Hi have recently purchased my galaxy s , it was freezing etc so i decided to do a factory reset , However prior to reset , I had 2 samsung apps which i used and now missing these were ,
1-samsung im Instant Messenger
2-samsung email and not he default icon showing email.
This link will show you the icons and also confirm that i am talking real. the link
is youtube.com/watch?v=Uk84hFv5MxM
The samsung email app allows you to add email account such as hotmail and yahoo and then syncs in real time not the default 5min etc and so on this is real time push . I am surprised no one has talked about this particular app as so many people want real time push email by default .
I have contacted samung support which were appalling as usual stating i should return the device and they didnt even know what i was talking about.
Anyhow i have flashed the device with several firmwares and i cant seem to find these two apps and i really want them particualary the samsung email client ,
Can someone advise if they have these two apps and which firmware they are using or which firmware i will need, i have checked samsung website for manual downloads but with no luck.
I also recieved a link with samsung apps which did not have the 2 i need, im wondering if samsung have removed them or they were intially intended for the asian market but how can that be as the presentation by samsung boasted about the galaxy s (Socail Hub ) which these two are part of so were are they.
I am using this device in the uk and I will appreciate your help in this matter
Thanks

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.

Facebook & Messenger Crash

Hello guys,
I recently bought an LG G3 D855 32GB.
I have several problems with the facebook application.
When i try to check in to a place through the facebook application the app crashes and i think that the system framework restarts too.
Facebook opens up again and puts me to the home screen.I ve tried several facebook versions and it does the same with all of them.
Whats going on?Anyone has any idea?
Thanks in adv.

I've got the same with yesterday's fcbk update. Go to apps stop it delete cache and data. Start it again and wait...wait...wait. Do not allow for screen go to sleep but don't run anything ie recent apps etc. Took me 2 minutes...

no i dont think its because of that.i see that the SUI restarts somehow.It might be because of the incompatibility of the facebook application to the screen resolution of the G3??i really dont have a clue about whats going on.ive read several posts about chromecast crashes on several forums.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem when in ART mode. Revert back to default mode fix the issue.

I tried to:
- wipe all cashe for the phone and the Samsung cloud apps
- remove the samsung account and adding it again
- delete all the backed up stuff on the cloud
- uncheck the auto back up - reboot - re check it
can anyone help with that issue pls, I need some guidence to dig deep and analyze this error or bug

I've not been able to back up my S7 since I've had it (about 5 months now) - after researching this online over the past few months it seems to be an issue at Samsung's end (or whoever the provider of the cloud is!), there's a lot of people with this issue. I got hold of someone a week ago to ask what I could do and they advised downloading Smart Switch and using the backup feature on there but my work laptop won't allow me to install without authorisation.
I tried to press the customer services for a reason for the issue but they are giving little away, I had to ask a few times if it was a problem at their end before he said it was and they were looking in to it with no idea of when it will be resolved.
I've resorted to saving my contacts to my google account which backs-up in real time, and saving my photo's and documents to a memory card in case the worst happens before they can resolve the issues. There's also a sync function with Google which also backs-up alarms and calendar etc also.

LineageOS on Samsung Note 3 N9005

hello, I am trying out this ROM 14.1 on my N9005 Galaxy Note 3 - it seems very good, very fast and light. Just found a couple of issues so far that I cannot seem to solve .
I am always getting a message about Google Play Services keeps stopping - I just click 'mute until next phone restart' and it seems to get rid of message
In the 'accounts' settings - I click on my Google and all the usual things like drive, calendar etc.. are in the Sync list.. except for 'contacts' which I really want to sync! - so that if I go into my contacts icon on the phone its empty (because it hasnt imported synced contacts from google contacts) - wondering how I can add contacts sync to the google accounts section?
Re: 'Root Mode' - i instigated developer mode and went to enable root and it only said ADB root only (no options for apps) ... so I went into recovery and added in the lineageOS add on and then started up and went into developer mode and then there was app and adb root then - so I just thought I would let peeps know who were thinking it might be built into the rom as standard.
EDIT: have now also noticed that the suggestions dont show at the top of the built in rom's keyboard even though I have them turned on in the settings
Imagine being able to get Nougat on an old Note3 who would have thought it. i bet even samsung wouldnt have thought it! - keep up the good work LineageOS dev's
