Galaxy Watch Active 2 No Longer Vibrates - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Recently my GWA2 stopped vibrating. It happened after the latest update, but I can't tell if it was due to the update. I just know I notices afterwards.
I've tried resetting the watch back to factory defaults and even flashed the firmware with NetODIN and nothing helped.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

[Q] samsung galaxy i5500 very slow factory reset

I've done a firmware upgrade to Froyo with Odin, that worked fine. But when I started the factory reset, it takes a lot of time! I don't know if that's normal, but I have a black screen for almost 15 minutes now :/
Is there something I have to do, or just leave my phone alone and do it's thing?

[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy S III Crash/Reboot

Hi all,
Today my T-Mobile Galaxy S III that I purchased in February 2013 started to behave strangely. At first everything is fine for around 5 minutes but then it heats up a lot so I turn off data and close all non-important apps. Then it freezes up at the screen it is at and none of the buttons except the power button(which just turns the screen on and off, I can't even access the menu from holding it) work and then it will reboot itself. After 5 more minutes it will repeat this process again and again. This happened for a brief time back in August but I fixed it through booting through safe mode and then restarted it which caused it to work. I tried that this time but after removing the battery for about 30 minutes and then doing the safe mode procedure, and restarting it, it still crashes. The peculiar thing is however, that it works perfectly fine in safe mode but otherwise crashes after 5-7 minutes. I have rooted this phone back in February but I haven't installed any custom roms. Is there any way to fix this without factory reset as I would like to keep all of my apps and files intact. My phone info is as follows: Model Number SGH-T999. Android Version: 4.1.1 Baseband version: T999UVDLJA. Build Number: JRO03L.T999UVDLJA.
Thanks a lot in advance! I would really appreciate any help.
Update your firmware. Otherwise you probably have to factory reset and start clean

Well, one thing is your firmware is way outdated. We're almost on 4.3 officially. But the latest official version is 4.1.2. A combination of battery, modem, kernel, cause these issues. But since you're still on 4.1.1 I assume you're pure stock.
What type of battery do you have, the original Samsung one?
Can you send a link to a tutorial on how to upgrade my firmware? Since I rooted my phone, I can't do OTA updates. And yes I do have the default Samsung battery.
Link is in my sig

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Freezing, Auto Shut Down, Bluetooth not working Issues!!

Hi all,
When I was failed to flashed my Galaxy Note 2 N7100 to Sungsonic HD V7 and Paranoid rom, then I tried to flashed back to official 4.3 Jelly Bean on my Galaxy note 2. After it done, I'm facing issues like freezing, auto shutdown issues and bluetooth is no more working. When my phone is sleep or locked, no matter how many times I press for power button or home button it wont awake. Sommore, it will frequently auto shutdown or restart phone. While the phone is freezing, I only can hard reset or pull out the battery to restart my phone, but it is useless because after i turn it on, it will freeze after I turn on my phone not more than 5 minutes.
P/s: I tried full wipe/ Factory reset many many times already, It not working. Flashed via Odin with official 4.3 Jelly Bean, the problem is still happening. (I was using this rom and it was fine but now it is turn like this...)
Does anyone face this problem? Can anyone let me know how to solve this problem? Is it hardware problem? I flashed to almost all custom rom already, but this bug is still occur. I have no idea on how to fix this problem already, Can someone tell me how to do it >.<
Many many thank to you if you can provide me the solution... T.T

Was your phone running a custom ROM, was it rooted or completely stock...Did you install or do anything to it previous to these weird occurences.
Try flashing your phone with a stock FTF or use Sony PC Companion to repair your phone (it will wipe completely and flash back the latest firmware for your device).
Good luck!

signal lost an continuous rebooting
Hello guys, I realy need your help here.
Some days ago, out of nowhere my fone lost it's signal and started to reboot. The only way of stoping it is waiting while it drain 10% of my battery or more, or forcing shutdown by the OFF back button.
Does any one know what is happening?
I saw lots of posts about this trouble with xperia ZL and xperia Z, but I got no solution from this.
Thank you!

Constantly getting Android Wear and Google Play Services error

Hello everyone!
I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas. I noticed that my Huawei Watch recently started to show some errors saying "Unfortunately, Android Wear has stopped" and also the same but with Google Play Services. Some days ago it was appearing maybe once a day, but today started to appear every 20 seconds. Now, I restarted the watch and I attempted to do a factory reset and left the watch doing the reset some minutes.
When I looked back at the watch, I saw that everything was exactly the same, no reset was done. I tried doing it again, and then the error alerts now are appearing constantly, interrupting the factory reset. When I dismiss them, they come again immediately, I can only see the watchface for 1 second and I cannot even attempt to do a reset again (which might even fail again).
I don't know what happened but now my watch is contsantly showing these errors and even a force reboot is exactly the same. As soon as it reboots the error white screens appear as soon as it boots.
Is there a way to do this factory reset via the computer instead of the watch itself? I have read some posts and seems that factory reset fixes the initial not-so-frequent alerts, but now it is unmanageable. Does anyone has any idea how to fix this?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Hello everyone! Don't know what happened, but I got lucky and after one reboot the messages kind of disappeared and I could do a factory reset. Seems everything is OK now

Glad it worked out well for you.
I've suddenly started having this issue ... and I've done a number of reboots and it still keeps crashing. When I do get the watch running again, it will run with regular crashes, and when I access the settings menu, the watch immediately restarts. This means that I can't get to the settings menu long enough to request a factory reset. Is there any way to do a hard (factory) reset without going through the menu? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can get into fastboot then from there you can get into recovery.
To get into fastboot
Phone must be powered down (which may be hard for you because you cant get to shut down menu...
Hold power / stem until it vibrates. Release then hold again. This should get you into fastboot.
Next press the stem button until you see reboot recovery. Now long press the stem.
Now you should be in recovery and there should be a factory reset option.
I was thinking you may have to let your watch battery die if you cannot get into the "settings" menu to power down. If you have to do that then you know when you connect the charger the phone will power on. Same rules apply when the phone is powering on from the charger...
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
