[Q] S4 Opens wrong apps - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

This is a strange problem, which has become quite annoying. Lets say I open my gmail app, after using another app it randomly decides to open the other app (text messages, a game, etc.) It doesn't do it all the time probably about 25% of the time. Is there a fix for this?

Rooted, Roms, Custom Kernels? If so you may need to do a restore to the stock image.

Oh I forgot to add im still 100% stock.

You could try to Odin the Stock Rom and see if the issue remains. If it does, you might have a bugged phone and should replace it if your within the 14 day period. I can send you some info if you'd like.

[Q] Facebook notifications not working?!

So I've had this problem for a very long while, in that I get absolutely no Facebook notifications! Well, save for some random notifications for messages, and often times I don't really have any new messages, or the app isn't able to fetch them from the server. Tried uninstalling then reinstalling the app, clearing its data... this was on Froyo. Installed Gingerbread, installed the Facebook app from the Market, and still no notifications!
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?
The app sucks its not the phone
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium app
Well I guess it's not the phone but when I first got it, notifications came without any issues. And suddenly they stopped. :/

That's a bug in Facebook apps, sometimes you receive notification and sometimes you don't. Try other Facebook apps like friend-caster- they have an option to post notification to gmail.

Well I don't use my Gmail address anyway. And yes, I was considering FriendCaster, but it seems they haven't included Chat yet.

Try adding another topup, and use facebook chat apps/gosms facebook chat instead.

Same problem
I had the same problem a while back, after much installing and uninstalling and double checking the notifications from my laptop and phone, I concluded that the problem was really the app, shows how buggy apps can be. I've been getting message notifications from the app (since I was offline in chat) but the messages were never shown under "Messages" nor in "Chat". Notifications on the other hand most of the time work properly. There were some instances on the previous updates that it did update, meaning there was a number there in a red circle, but when I opened my notifications, no actual new updates were there, although it appeared on my browser.

Yep, there's nothing we can do about it, unless we want to code a program ourselves. Well that's just me...

Sounds like you have phantom taps.
I'd exchange it after you try a restore and it still doesn't work.

You should be able to do it right from the phone like any other Samsung android
Assuming you haven't installed custom ROM/kernel, all you have to do is go to settings->privacy->factory data reset. I'm pretty sure that just clears out the stuff in /sdcard and removes any apps in /data (i.e. user-installed apps).

Magic Jack Error...

Hi to all....
I'm running Nightmare 1.6 and all is working perfect... The only problem I have is with the app Magic Jack.... I get this message: "The installation associated with your device is invalid". I can't setup my account or do anything... It use to work perfect on Nrgz... I tried to install it with Titanium Backup without any luck... This app is very important to me... Please, let me know if there's a fix for this or if you need more info to helps me!
Thanks in advance!
if your app has problems with your current rom settings.. then it could be that it doesn't work on your current rom... you have to keep in mind when the companies that make these apps don't make them for custom roms... so maybe some settings might be off in the build.prop or something else could be missing.. but i would suggest just trying another rom, or going back to stock.. or the rom that you had it previously working on
Oh well... Not the answer I was looking for but... I guess I'll live with it!!
Try a fresh install from the Play Store, don't install from TB

Yeah... I did that after a full whipe...! Still not going! Thanks for the idea!! It seems like It's specific to the rom... I guess it's just some tweak! But! I'm not good enough to tweak it!!
I wouldn't use the Magic Jack app anyways. It's a major battery hog. I had to uninstall it. I just have my MJ number forward to my cell phone

I use it for long distance calls... When I don't need it... I kill the app trough the app manager so, no battery drain!

It shouldn't have to come to that though. It still needs work.

Exactly... Fongo works perfect and it's a similar app... The thing with Magic Jack is I use it at home and long distance destinations a more convenient for me!

I use Vonage. Just set your cell phone as an extension of your Vonage phone, and get all the features associated with your current Vonage plan (in my case, free global long distance over 3G/4G/Wifi)

[Q] CM 10.1.3 Stable

Just installed the newest stable build from CM and everything seems to be working great except I cannot send or receive picture messages (MMS). Anyone else having this issue with Verizon?

It's been a constant problem forever with CM and a few other ROMS. It happened to me yesterday. Solutions range from cycling airplane mode, cycling 4G-3G-4G radio, or a full on reset. It usually takes a full reset for it to work for me.

Hmm, what mine will do is show that i have an MMS message from a sender and then when i open it and go into my text messages there is nothing there and its "gone" for ever. Likewise when i attempt to send it just says "sending". When you say reset what are you referring too? Because I did reboot the phone.

I have a problem with this 10.1.3 update. I hope I can use this thread to generate some assistance. After the update, I lost ES File Explorer. I went to the market and tried to download and reinstall. No go! It downloads but doesn't install. Any suggestions besides using a different App? I've added a photo of what the Play Store says when tring to install. This is my first time posting so be patient if the pic doesn't show. Thanks for your help.

Try going to Settings>Applications>Google Play Store. Then Clear Data/Cache. Then reboot your phone, and try reinstalling ESFE again.
Is ES the only app you've had trouble with? Might need to start fresh on your rom slot. Did you do a fresh install on your rom slot, or just update from 10.1.2? Did you wipe cache/dalvik when you did so?

Looks like you dirty flashed.
Do a full wipe and reflash the ROM again.

Anyone installed the November 7th update - G965USQU3BRJ5

If so, noticed any differences or problems?
Installed it this morning, so far running normally.

On the stock messaging app, I keep getting
"Turn on Read Confirmation"
Allow Contacts to see when you've read their messages.
Cancel Turn On
Pretty annoying with every single thread of message. I dont want to turn it on because sometimes I'd like to ignore some people that text me. I've done everything from clearing cache and data.
Got it on the 7th, everything is running fine.
Thanks. I use a 3rd party text app, so if that's the only issue I guess I can live with it.
Can you mention in which countries you get it?
No update in Romania so far.
