SOLVED: "Swiping" stops working in Samsung KB

I've had my TMO T889 for a couple of days now, and after mirroring my config from my trustworthy "Androided" HTC HD2, I noticed that the "swiping" feature of the Samsung KB stopped working.
I had installed TaskerJB and MissedIt, and both required "Services" to be turned on under the Accessibility Tab (Settings->Accessibility->Services). Apparently, any services that get turned on have a negative impact on the swiping feature of the Samsung KB. Turning the services off returns swiping ability to the Samsung KB.
Problem is, for me, I need Tasker JB and Missed it, among a few other apps that require services enabled. Right now, it appears it's one choice or the other, not both.
The good news though, is if you're rooted (I'm stock rooted), you can flash/install the stock keyboard from JB 4.2, and it works fine, even with the accessibility settings on... for those unaware, the JB 4.2 KB supports swiping, just like the Samsung KB.
Hope this helps.

Notification "connected, in connection" vanished

Hello everyone, I'm new. Forgive my English.
This morning I'm going to turn on the phone and Moto 360, and noted that the notification is vanished from the drop-down menu that shows me they are connected or not to the Moto 360. To find out, now I'm forced to open Android Wear.
Moto 360 firm: 5.0.2
Android Wear: last in playstore
Moto Connect: same android wear
Note 4 N910U firm.....4.4.4 -.-
Anyone can help me please? Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem since today morning. I use Sony Z3 running lollipop.
----
Update: it looks like this is by design by latest Google play services update to version 7.3.
What your seeing is the new results of Google Play services being updated to 7.3.29 I believe. With this new update, if your Android Wear Connected Devices are connected and working fine, the notification auto hides itself. It is though suppose to pop back up when there is a problem between sync and devices but I have not seen it do that.
With the older Google Play Services such as 7.0.99 the notification was always there with no way of hiding it or turning it off.
The new Google Play Services was suppose to prepare phones to be able to work with the new features coming to Android Wear and firmware updates to the moto 360 and other smart watches.
Also there was a bug in the older Google Play Services keeping it always on and a connection always running due to it trying itself to look for OTA's through Google Servers I assume for GPE editions of phones and watches. I think now from watching over the new version on my Verizon Note 3 that it is now fixed and is the last thing always running in the battery rundown list. Before the update and with the older version it was the first in the list for draining battery on Lollipop!
Just as an update to my earlier post, the newer newest android wear is up live on the Google Play store. It has the sync to cloud option so that you can use WiFi mode on smart watch.
Only issue now is we still are waiting for new firmware to enable it on the Moto 360.
Thanks for the answers.
Wait for the new version then, as to me it is not yet appeared.
Thanks for the help!
Well, on my Z3 the notification does not appeared when watch was disconnected.

Samsung Smart Call or Caller ID

So Samsung seems to advertise everywhere for their Smart Call call ID functionality, but that doesnt appear to be available anywhere on the VZV Note 8. I know Verizon tries to sell you their own garbage Caller ID, but is there anyway to get the official samsung on this by means of an APK or something? And if not, what caller ID do you people recommend?? Having used a Nexus device for years i never needed one of these since Google Dialer did such a fantastic job filtering out spam etc.
Unfortunately Verizon disables it and I have not found any way to enable it. I don't pay for Verizon's Caller ID feature but use an app called Hiya.

I've used Hiya in the past and it's a cool app. It let's you block calls. Well, not really block them. It auto disconnects them. You can only truly block calls with apps on rooted phones (though I'd love for someone to prove me wrong). My only problem with Hiya is it seems a bit resource heavy on my old Note 4. Haven't installed it on this phone yet.
Also places in contact app is not available too loosk like.
Search locally

So has anyone found a way to get this on our phones? I tried to APKs from apkmirror, one from April, and 1 from August of this year, and they both didn't install
caller id is a flop always has been
Download ShortCut master lite. Search through for phone app, tap it. Scroll down and Inside you will see smart call settings. Tap once, then click launch. Window opens, click to enable.
Note: I haven't had any unidentied callers yet since enabling, but there it is.
Even using shortcut master it doesn't work.. It'll work if you flash the unlocked firmware but then volts and WiFi calling doesn't work.. If you turn them on then smart call gets turned off... Smart call uses the hiya database so I just downloaded the hiya app and it works great.. There's also a Google dialer floating around that works that adds even more features.

Volte does work on the VZW Note 8 with unlocked firmware. I use my Google Voice number (on Hangouts) to make WiFi calls.

Smart Lock on Pixel XL Oreo not showing Work as option

Hey guys,
correct me, if I am wrong, but wasn't there an option in past Android versions (maybe) that you could select your workplace as Trusted Location? I tried doing that with my Pixel XL (Oreo) and it only let me select my Home (Zuhause). Thanks for your input!
You don't see an option for add trusted place below your home address?
Here is what it looks like to me
I see the option to add another place but wasn't there an option in previous versions of android that you can add your workplace as well if it is in Google Maps?

I'm not sure, haven't used trusted location in a while, I've owned smart watchs that keeps my phone unlocked for the last few years
I was able to fix my smart Lock for location. I'm not sure exactly which step fixed it but here's what I did.
Deleted data from Google play services
Deleted Google location history
Turned off smart Lock and turned back on
Re set finger prints
Opened Google maps, noticed my location and my home weren't exactly the same although usually they are. I added smart Lock locations all around my house.
Re booted phone.
After locking and unlocking I got a screen saying my phone's smart Lock is leaving the phone unlocked.
If someone can pinpoint what works for them so there aren't so many steps, please share.

Google Assistant?

I was hoping to dust off my old Note 10.1 to use as a smart home control device, with voice activated Google Assistant (ok Google), but I can't seem to get the tablet to hear me.
I'm running a version of LOS 14.1 (7.1.2), and have installed the Google app, Assistant, Home, and the companion app for Nova launcher. All settings appear to be on, but Google won't hear me either inside or outside of the Google app.
Has anyone managed to get this working on Android 7? Should I be looking at upgrading to an Android 10 rom? Are there any stable options available?
Yes, there are also android 11 rom
