Sharing Photos, Music, Videos with Smart TV - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

So I used to be able to bring up a picture and hit a small icon at the top left to beam the picture (or song, video) to my HDTV. I now don't see that option. Is there a setting for this? I did disable some samsung apps, is there one in particular that does this?

I think all share and svoice need to be installed. There could be more but those are the 2 I re-installed when I had that issue.

i re-enabled those but that didn't seem to work... do i need to re-install them somehow?

What ROM are you running? And did you disable or uninstall the apps? When I had this issue I was running a beans build and reflashed aroma and selected them during the setup.
And I assume you've already tried hitting menu and search for nearby devices?

I am not rooted, just stock. I tried that setting but that also didn't work. I did disable some apps (but cant uninstall since im not rooted). I disabled all share and wifi direct but then just re-enabled them. That still did not work however...

Gotcha. Did you restart the phone (and maybe even your router and tv) after re-enabling everything? I rooted/unlocked on day one so not too familiar with the stock set up. Hope you get it figured out though

I restarted router and that worked!
What app does this? What apps are safe to disable and keep this feature? I really want to disable running apps like allshare. Not sure if this is allshare or wifi-direct? or just some other service.

Hide Root from Brithouse tv app?

Hello all
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to hide the fact my EVO is rooted from the bright house tv app?
All the I devices in my house can use it but when I open it on my phone it won't work and says the reason is because it's rooted.
Is there anyway to hide the fact I'm rooted from this one app without actually unrooting?

Have you tried supersu, it has a hide feature that should work. Also for reference might want to post in q&a next time. Good luck with the app
well if its like the time warner app all i gotta do is disable supersu and i can stream tv.
I'm running meanrom and have supersu, but don't see an option to hide. The app itself doesn't request root it just checks if you're rooted.
I haven't tried disabling supersu, how do you do it?
Thanks for the first help.
its on the settings tab, uncheck enable superuser. thats all i have to do to get the time warner app to stream.

Thanks, that's what I meant, lol.
I just finished doing that And cleared App data for the bright house tv app and supersu and it still says I can't do it on a rooted device.
Why so much hate towards root, I mean I have to log in and can only use it at my own house where I pay for my services so I don't see what the problem is.
Is that check something that can be pulled out of the apk itself?

It could be taken out, u just need to find someone who has it that wants it out to do it for u.
Also, try disabling su, clear brighthouse data/cache, then reset phone. Still not working?
Well, I disabled supersu.
Cleared bright house tv app data in settings.
Booted into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik.
Still no go as far as hiding to it the fact I'm rooted. It still knows I'm rooted and won't play.
I'm not about to unrooting for this one app either. Just wished it would work. Damn u bright house
I just flashed meanrom and same for me with the twc app. Won't play cause I'm rooted. App works fine for me on bad seeds tranquility Rom.

[Q] Problems with jelly bean update. Talk back in particular.

I updated to jelly bean last week. It came with talk back. trying everything I can think of, I have come to the conclusion that if anything else in accessibility is on, talk back come on too. I have a pebble watch, an love it. But when either it, or pebble notifier, it light wave is on, then the blasted voice tells me everything I am doing. It's very annoying. I tried stopping talkback with system tuner, which led to even worse problems. (like no touch screen function except with the s-pen.) Does anyone know how to get rid of talk back? Thanks in advance.

Root your phone, download an app for deleting system apps. delete it.
You can find how to root your phone in the development forums. Make sure you do it for the correct version of andriod ie:4.1.2

Disable it in settings/application manager/all applications. Find talkback and select uninstall updates. After updates are uninstalled go back into talkback from application manager, select force stop, then disable.
Right! Never delete a system app until you have disabled it or froze it with TiBU, then tested your phone fir a day or so. You never know how or what those apps are connected to.

True. Thats why I tried to disable it. And google text to speech. And Samsung text to speech. Each one stops it for a while. Then it comes back on even though it shows it is disabled. Its enough to make you start pulling out your hair.
If it says it is off then you are experiencing something else. What speech are you getting?

Whenever I turn a page. Which page of apps or widgets I am on.ect. I disabled all three. Then powered down the pbone. When it came back up, it has the talkback hand up I the top bar. Says it is on. Yet it doesn't even show up in settings/accasabilities menu. I'm stumped.

For me the issue was being caused by that fact that I have NoLED turned on in Accessibility. And it's a known issue with the developer of NoLED because he has a FAQ item about it. The best I've been able to do is get the talkback completely silent by disabling Talkback, Google Text to Speech and Samsung TTS. NoLED still works, and the nagging voice is gone, the only unwanted artifact is the HAND icon of Talkback that continues to show up in the Notification bar even though it's not running. I can live with that way easier than hearing that silly voice telling me everything I was doing.
For what it's worth I think the guides provided concerning rooting and rom upgrades for this phone are not as explicit or clearly written as they could be. Kudos to those who took time to do and provide what's there, and I realize that they've most likely moved on to newer devices, but even though I've rooted most of my devices in the past and am not a complete noob I did not feel comfortable using the provided instructions on this device. I haven't bricked a device yet, and don't want to start with this one.
Well, I'm not running no led. Whenever any of the services I use are active (pebble, or pepple notifier) are activated, talkback is activated. Like you, I have rpoted every device up to this one. Not really scared of bricking it. Just not sure a new rom would help. Contacted samsung, and was told it was a hardware problem. Like I'm an idiot. Obviously its in the software. Just not sure if it is samsung specific. Guess I'll just keep bumbling along with this work around.

FYI. You can get rid of the Talkback icon after each reboot by opening the notification bar, touch and hold Talkback, pick App Info, this will open into Settings App Info (for some reason), pick force stop and then the icon is gone until the next reboot.

Thanks. However, every time I have force stoped it, my touch screen will only work with the stylus. Touch input goes dead. And sometimes the touch alignment goes so that when you touch in one place, it refesters somewhere else. Guess I'll just live with the hand.

This whole Talkback feature appears to be filled with issues. I think I'll live with the hand (and not talk to it, lol), rather than risk more complications and further issue. So far I like Jellybean, but I hope that the next version of Android on Samsung devices fixes these issues.
As an aside, another thing that took me by surprise was the use of a new mountpoint for the external SD card. It took me a bit to figure out why /sdcard/external_sd was empty of files, but Music and other apps were able to see the data I had on the card. It's been awhile since my days as a UNIX SA and it dawned on me, literally in the middle of the night that perhaps the OS was using a different mountpoint. I was very relieved to find it under /storage/extSdCard and that my data was both there and able to be used.

Did you uninstall TalkBack (using something like Titanium BackUp) and not just disable it? If so, when you pick App Info from the Talkback notification does it open up the "Settings Version 4.1.2-I717UCMD3" app? If not It might be that we have different apps installed causing a different app to come up. If this is the case, would you mind trying going into Settings, Application Manager, All, Settings (the one with "Version 4.1.2-I717UCMD3", I have 2 Settings apps) and force stop that and see if that works.
I never uninstalled talkback. Since i haven't bothered rooting. forced stop defiantly gave me headaches, so I settled for stopping the text to speech of google and samsung. Running android 4.1.2. Ive seen on other posts where this is a samsung issue, and hopefully they are working on it. Looks like we have the same versions. Baseband i717ucmd3 with android version 4.1.2 \. Build # JZO54k.i717ucmd3. Force stopping just screws up my touchscreen, so I'll leave it enabled for now. Maybe Samsung will fix it, but I won't be holding my breath....

I too have a Pebble, and have had the issue with talkback showing up on every reboot. I had seen that it was a Samsung issue, so all I do is get rid of it on reboots. Just turn your Pebble Notifier, or I think any other accessibility app, off then back on. This will get rid of the hand, and thus far I have not had it talk to me at all. But I am running Padawan currently, so YMMV. To turn things off and on, just select the talkback notification from the bar to get into accessibility settings.
I ended up rooting for a couple of reasons. I had already frozen Google Text to Speech, Samsung Text to Speech, or whatever it's called, and the Talkback app but still had the hand. After rooting I was able to tap on Talkback in the pull down notification screen and turn off notifications of it. Strange that is was still there, but it worked and the hand hasn't been back.

I have heard other users report that issue before with 3rd party kernels in the main thread. I have tried the function on the stock rom (granted quite a while ago) and it did work perfectly. I would try flashing the stock kernel and see if the issue persists.

All enabled, I installed The Xposed Framework and Xposed Installer from your bundle, could that have messed it up?
Voice recognition works if I open the Google Search app and press the mic, also "Hi Galaxy" isn't working for Hands Free Mode.
Thanks for the help
I chose Google Launcher from the install menu when I setup the ROM, maybe that did it? I uninstalled it and restarted, still nothing.

Well if you are refering to OK Google command, make sure that you have the search widget on your home screen or you can enable the ok google anywhere option in Google now settings. Xposed by itself and any of the included mods should not really effect anything depending (of course) on what mods that you have installed. If You want t troubleshoot than just uninstall the xposed framework from the xposed settings and reboot. You can always just reenable it with the touch of a button. Of course the last case senerio that I would recommend is doing a full wipe (data, system, cache and dalvik) and doing a fresh install. That should definately fix the issue as long as its not hardware related (your phone itself).

For some reason my post about the above topic disappeared. Thought this was the Q&A forums but now I'm not so sure.
Was wondering if there was any other way to get this other than downloading an extension that is corrupt and wont tell me where its downloading my files at?
There are NO options to set as for my files to download and I will NOT let it download to C:/ drive just in case it opens a backdoor to allow viruses onto my computer. Call me paranoid all you want too.
Is it being hosted on any other sites that I can control what gets installed and where? Even Pirate Bay allows you to save files wherever you want too. I'm not asking for much. Just dont want my main drive to get whacked by some crap that I have to install just to download files "over 1GB in size you need our extension" . Ummmmm no I don't. Just download the file and allow me to put it where I want to put it. Thats all.
Google Drive or Dropbox account maybe?
Have the v4 and v5 as they were hosted on androidhost or something similar. But then you switched to Mega.nz for some reason. Don't know why. Thanks for anyones help in this problem.

Question Spy/malware removal

Is there any kind that actually works? I keep fishing around on Google play and everything is either old, doesn't work, or is full of sh*t, or a combination of all 3.
Welcome to XDA
If you're running Android 9 or higher simply do a factory reset. There are no known rootkits that can worm out of the user partition, once that data is wiped so is the malware.
Don't reload it again after the factory reset.

Which would be how? Would I need a app or something for the pc? And if so do you have any recommendations? I have the mixsilver file manager on my phone (pixel 6 "Not pro"). Would there be a way I could find it thru there? Also my device is not rooted. So would I need to root? I'm sorry if this gets on your nerves. If so tell me, won't hurt my feelings. I'm literally a noob at this stuff. I've been trying to teach myself and just do trial and error but im getting in over my head and don't wanna accidentally brick my phone or worse.
What makes you sure you have spy/malware? Or do you mean adware?

With Avast or AVG Antivirus you can do a pretty good scan of your apps, even system apps if you want.

Chrome ****tin out 3 gigs of data a day. I have unlimited so it's not that big of a deal but still.....and some of the options I had in settings like "permissions, enable/disable, clear data/cache" that I know for a fact I had not too long ago are now greyed out or nonexistent. Also sometimes when I bring up "location" thru the settings menu everything is supposed to be "off" but there's 2 or 3 that look like they are switching back to say "off" as soon as the page shows. 1 of them outright takes several seconds to display any "on or off" setting at all. I've found a "Verizon" system app on my phone, some kind of Samsung telephony thing. And it seems like I can input a change to settings or something and when I look at my phone in the morning everything I had set up is back to it's previous settings.

For what it's worth, the Verizon system app comes with the phone in case you use a Verizon sim.
If you end up clean flashing or factory resetting, I would not restore any apps from backups. I would reinstall everything fresh or you could just be putting the malware back on your phone, if that indeed is what you have.

Thank you. Umm.....stupid question but I've never done a full reset before so.....how and would I need to move my apps to another storage or could I just go back thru the play store and redownload? And any paid apps and subscriptions?
It probably explains all that in those links doesn't it?

Just redownload them. Google remembers your bought apps or subscriptions in your Google account, so as long as you use the same email/account for logging in to Playstore after Factory reset you're good.
Your contacts normally are also synced to your Google Account, so you get them back also then.

But that's the thing. I don't use Verizon I use sprint which is part of t mobile. That's why I just don't get it.

It comes with the phone by default just in case you do use Verizon. Basically that app helps give the phone Verizon support, of sorts. It's disabled by default if you don't use Verizon so there's really nothing to worry about with that app.

Man thank you. There's stuff on here that I don't understand and I've been thinking it's something I've downloaded or whatever. I'm new to all of this.

Question Hello I need some help with ADB

Hello,
I like to see myself as a very advanced user of ADB.
I usualy debloat my devices very extreme. 99% of the time it goes without issues. I have had some issues but ive managed to resolve them by myself. However now im running into a problem and I really dont wanna do a factory reset so I turn to the famous XDA forum.
On my S23 Ultra when i change the wallpaper of my phone the background works but lockscreen is unable to change. The background and style app keeps crashing when I do that.
I reinstalled com.samsung.android.app.dressroom but this did not resolve the issue.
I reinstalled com.android.wallpaperbackup but this also did not resolve my issue.
I have Wallpapercropper and wallpaper.res also installed.
I feel like im missing something, maybe something i deleted that has a service thats directly connected to this. But im clueless to which one that would be. Can anyone maybe post a list of all services needed for the dressroom app to function properly?
This is exactly why I use PackageDisabler Cloud version, so I can disable and reenable on the fly with out a PC. I've been using adb since the TMobile G1 too but it has it's limitations.
I have used that in the past but i prefer adb through command prompt. But this still does not help the issue at hand. Anyone have a solution?
I use ADB app control. Yes you need a computer but it shows you everything you have disabled and you can enable with a click. I would just enable everything and start there. Package disabler sucked in the past getting charger over and over again, half the time you had to factory reset to get it off your device. Maybe it changed. But that developer will never get anymore of my money
3 options:
1.) Enable all the apps you have disabled, one by one until the issue is fixed
2.) adb logcat to see why the app crashes
3.) factory reset

Not the same as it used to be. Been using it since the Note 10 and have done numerous FDR's on the Note 10, Note 20 and Fold 4 and never had to pay again!
Have you tried using a different launcher, like Nova?
