Develop Bugs

N.o.v.a bug? G2 question

For one does anyone own nova and have gotten through the singleplayer with it.
Secondly I am on the second mission, something void. I get to a part in the game where you have to upload the virus using a terminal. After uploading the virus those green aliens spawn in and I kill them all. After killing them all nothing happens all the door locked.
I downloaded the game from the android gameloft website and purchased it after testing the trial bfrom the games ui.

It's a known issue. I managed to play through the game using version 3.3.9. Anything I upgraded to seemed to get hung at one part or another (virus upload or the hangar area in the level after the virus part). Hope this helps.

I have same problem ...so I started over thinking I did something wrong lol...guess I didnt

Yea thats what I gathered, gamelofts support as not very helpful and instead just said device not supported. Instead of telling about the bug.
I guess only way to play is to find that lower version which is disappointing considering I paid money for this.

There's a version on a website that sounds like Wobilism (turn the W upside down and you have your site) They have addressed this issue and have a fixed version. Keep in mind it is hacked and since warez and stuff aren't supported here so I can't link to it. Works fine for me though and I can confirm it works.

Its just a patch in my eyes since I actually bought it, thanks for the tip.

Thanks for getting me to the right place. This version downloaded and works fine. Only through first level so far though.

Major misaligned app, Need Help please.

Hi i have just managed to get hold of a Galaxy Nexus however one of my key apps to get to work Arriva has its text all misaligned is there any chance someone could fix the issue for me, otherwise I will have to go back to another android phone. I can provide pics and titanium backups of the app, if anyone could help.

It's an issue that the app developer should address. Contact them.

I know but its a very old app, could i possibly get a kind soul to help fix the issue or at least get some info on how to do it myself, its kinda vital i get this apps text to center as i can still see if its just kinda all sqwashed to the left.

Hmm I'm not sure if anyone can do anything about it without access to that app's source code. All I know us that the problem is caused by a different way ICS passes the screen resolution to the app to older versions of Android. I've got it with a lot of apps too. Well, good luck!

you will have to get in touch with the developer of the application and get them to update it for Android 4.0
considering it is Arriva, my guess is you're going to be ****e out of luck

Samsung keyboard auto correct broken.

So I noticed recently that the samsung keyboard auto correct no longer functions.
I noticed this on ICS and now JB.
Does anyone know why this happened? I have searched the net but no solid answers.
And please before you respond with telling me to try another keyboard like every other thread that I have found I do not care and I am in no way interested in any kbs but the samsung one.
I am trying to get a solid answer if this has affected everyone or just some. Did samsung change the kb or is this just a bug that affects all or maybe just some?
Please if you have good info post. This is driving me insane and I hope to find a resolution.

No one is having this issue?

I have forever. I'm one of the people who has made serval threads. You are forced to another keyboard. Samsung will help you in no way, they claim its a 3rd party app that they don't support when it's their own ****. Once I updated to li3 the Samsung keyboard along with the swype added in, are both broken and won't auto correct. It followed through to lj7 (jb). In the end I gave up because devs don't know any software tweak to fix it, Samsung support is worthless, their only excuse is it will be fixed in the next update from some reps, and yet wasn't.
In the end I was forced to use SwiftKey 3 =/ sorry to say it but go give the free version a try. There's no frustration due to no auto correct. It has 0 lag, 200% better than the Samsung keyboard, auto corrects much better, and ya. Try it out, if you hate it then un install, if you love it, thank me and buy the full version XD. I belive the free version is a 14 day trial

Yeah the stock keyboard sucks big time so I switched to Swiftkey 3 also.

I noticed the problem about the time that I upgraded to ICS as well and still having problems on JB so at this point it is a useless keyboard.
It is such a shame that it seems no one cares. I went and looked at a note 2 at BB today and it seems those as well are not auto correcting either. I wonder if they for some reason removed the feature when they added new options to the keyboard in ICS.
I wish we could just get a straight answer from someone even if it is just telling us they do not plan to bring it back.
I wish there was source available for the keyboard as we could fix it but it that is not going to happen. And I really don't enjoy using smali lol.

Missing app icons

Has anyone else experienced app icons disappearing from folders? The icon remains visible in the app drawer but isn't visible in the home screen folder.
The real strange thing is the folder treats it as though it's still there. (There's a gap where it would be) If I try to add it to the folder again, then both show up.
I'm having the problem with one app (wifi analyzer) but had experienced it before with other apps.
Any ideas or feedback is appreciated.
I'm running stock and unrooted latest update for what it's worth.

Are you using the hide icons feature in the app drawer ??
I miss a few on occasion too. ..
Try this. ..
Enable all icons again. ..then wipe cache in the recovery. ..
Then reboot and hide apps again. .
It appears to be a stock bug. ...g

This is one of those bugs that sparked my curiosity to try different ROMs.
Is there any place to read up on known issues with i317? Samsung has really dropped the ball in regards to support on their website. This seems to be the main place to ask questions but I feel like I have quite a few, some are general and others are more android specific.
I think I may be having buyers remorse now. I'm reading and trying to figure out as much as I can but it feels like I've read every book in an encyclopedia set and while I've learned new things the general things still remain unanswered or unfound. I'm not sure if it's device specific, android specific, or an app gone awry.

Every device and OS has bugs,,,it's just part of the game...
The note 2 is a solid and good running device with great support (here on XDA)...and the Rom offering is excellent as well.
If you purchased the device new, and it has any type of severe glitch...you may want to consider a warranty replacement.
Mine has always performed very well on the stock firmware, and although the TW 4.1.2 version is a bit buggy, it still performs beyond my expectations when compared to the note 1...
No regrets here at all.....g

It's been pretty solid. I just get a bit reluctant to try anything beyond stock right now because there are those little things that seem to occur. I occasionally get a blue outlined box around app icons which has left me baffled because it's a rare thing but has happened a few times.
I'm not knocking the phone or its OS. It just seems tedious to find answers to questions. I am not comparing anything with my iphone experience, because it took years for me to become a go to guy with any issues with iOS or even the hardware. I just am finding it a bit more of a challenge to locate a good sgh-i317 based sort of a knowledge base. Do you by any chance know of any good information banks? Or perhaps I should ask where's a good place to start learning more in depth about it?

I thought it was just me getting random blue borders on widgets. It only started within the last 2 months, and the only possible change would be having adding perseus kernel.
Small enough to not care, frequent enough to make me say "wtf"

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

The missing app icons is more of a problem for me. The blue border thing just makes me scratch my head.
Sadly if you anything aside from flipping through home screens it disappears. I've tried getting a screen capture of it and it disappears. It's almost like when you only single click something on a windows desktop. It's a rare occasional thing but drives me nuts wondering what it is or why it happens.

[Q] Screen Flickering while Typing

All the Devs and Experience people out there. Need Urgent Support.
I need your help, because I am facing with a very irritating problem on my new Note 3 Neo which I just bought 2 days back. I noticed that I am having a screen flicker while SWIPING (Not Typing) and only swiping in apps, various apps like whatsapp, sms & other msging apps.
The screen just flickers (moves towards right & comes back) in a nano micro second. It is so fast that, with a blink of an eye, it can be missed.
I need your guidance on how to resolve this issue? Is it a Hardware issue or a Software Problem? Can it be repaired via OTA Update or kitkat update which is coming through very soon hopefully.
Shall I go to the Store from where I just bought or to service centre??

I noticed that this happened in my Note 3 neo only if I am using the action memo in the background ,
such as if I want to copy a name and number from action memo to contacts , but typing works without any flickering in any app without
action memo .
I hope that helps you

Story of my Life with Note 3 Neo
Apologies for posting it late here.
After the purchase of my new NOTE 3 Neo, when i noticed this, I couldnt resist coz the problem just increased tremendously after using it with SWYPE keyboard. So couldnt tolerate it and went to Samsung Customer Care after 3 days. There I showed them the problem, they formatted the system, installed a new one, and then called me, and then also i showed them the same problem. They got convinced easily that the problem was there so they gave me a DOA, which is the Samsung policy to change the faulty product within 7 days of purchase.
So got a new NOTE 3 Neo phone again from the same store and after opening the same, I found the same problem there also. :crying:
Hence came to know that either the problem is in that particular lot, or the OS (v 4.3)
I really wish if someone can really try Swype keyboard or Samsung Swipe feature of the keyboard on SMS or WhatsApp , and let me know if you are also facing the same issue. Use it efficiently for while, then you come to know.
NOTE: Please make sure you SWIPE / SWYPE, and not TYPE.

@arunkareer
I'm facing same issue and just living with it. It seems like a firmware glitch or bug or some issue with Samsung keyboard itself. May be an update for keyboard or Samsung update should fix it ?

I found this update for note 3 keyboard
I wish this can help solving this issue .
Note : You have to restart the phone after installation .

NOte 3 Neo keyb flickr
