[Q] New update for Note II today - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Woke up this morning to a notification for a new update. I am stock, unroofed and only use this device for work, so I was just curious as to what this update was for.
Installed it but I notice the airview stuff doesn't work. Phone detects the stylus near the screen but can't pull up the airview menu (yes- it is turned on in the settings)
Again.. Mostly curious.

There are no software updates, so perhaps that is the reason it doesn't do anything?

Possibly; but when I used to press the button it took me to a page that told me that there are no updates available. Now it doesn't respond to a press at all. It also has an exclamation point next to it...

Are you on stock ROM? Did you freeze or uninstall anything related to updates?
Apparently I did freeze an app called AT&T software update. I tried to reactivate it to no avail; all through titanium. It just tells me that it is restoring it but it never does. The circle thing just goes around in circles and it never times out. I let it run all night last night and it didn't work. Do you think I need to do a hard reset and re-root my phone?

Samsung Sidesync 3.0

I just heard about this and it was free so decided to try it out...but I have no idea how to control my phone when it's on my pc screen. I can click the hard buttosn that it displays on the GUI but anything on the phone screen itself (displayed on the PC), it only has the big blue circle that does nothing when I click except pulse a bit telling me I clicked here.
Also, the description was a bit confusing but when they said use the phone as a second monitor..I can't extent my PC Windows as a dual screen, right? Just meaning I can use both devices simultaneously with a single KB/M set??
edit:
seems like it responds to Key Board but not the Mouse. Also with Keyboard, I can't siwtch back the Window to 1 and 5 out of 5, only between 2 3 4? If I keep pushing Left or Right it finally goes. Int he App Drawer Page...I have no idea how to scroll up and down to choose something else that's not in my PoV

[Q] C6833 update failure. What can I do?

I'm kind of stuck and could use your help. It's much appreciated. I have an unlocked C6833 I've been using as a "mini tablet" (no SIM card/no mods/in the US). I received notification yesterday that there was an up date (I'm guessing the latest) so I downloaded it. I thought everything was going fine until I checked this morning and nothing---
Computer can't access phone when connected.
I can't access anything on the phone. The pic attached is the only thing that shows when I press the power button and then it turns off and the green dot starts to flash again.
Attached is a pic of whats going on.

What it says on the first screen? I can't read it. Can't you keep pressing next?
I think the error message said initialbootsetup not responding or something to that affect. I couldn't really do anything with the phone.
It turns out that the Sony servers were overloaded or had some glitch because of the release and a lot of people trying to upgrade were stopped in their tracks.
I should've known.....never had a problem like this w/ any other phone (first Sony). Seems like they've always had some sort of problem w/ their servers and whatnot. Oh well live and learn......
It's all good now. I was able to upgrade via usb/PCC the next morning.

"Tap to speak" box won't close or go away

Hi guys,
I hope that this is the proper forum, if not please direct me to the correct one.
I am currently using a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6, non-rooted.
My problem started about 48 hours ago while I was voice dictating a test message.
I was doing my regular texting with the SwiftKey keyboard microphone (problem also replicates with the Samsung Keyboard as well) and the box at the bottom of the screen would not go away. I tried to X it out, hit the back button and the home button but nothing gets rid of it other than restarting the phone.
This all seemed to start happening after the Google App update.
I rolled back to the old version and it seemed to work fine. Last night, it updated itself again and problem was back.
I have included an image of what I am talking about.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very appreciative!
Thanks
Mikeinstlouis
I have to same issue that just happened and same as the screenshot.
Same issue...
This is so freaking ridiculous! A Google update that does this crap?!
I too own a S6 Edge Verizon 128GB and I noticed a couple of things.
If you bring up text to speak and then power off your phone.. Once you come back... you have locked it (Until restart)
I tried the following...
1) Reset the Dalvik Cache .. No luck.
2) tried force closing TTS and samsung text to speech.. no go.
3) Uninstalling latest update to the high quality voice. .. No Go.
4) Tried holding both buttons at the Same Time... No go..
5) For quibs and giggles.. Held down the close "X" for 5 whole minutes.
********************************************
What I think is going on is a time out error in the code.
So how i am able to get around it RARELY is..
Bring it up with the microphone button
Say what I need to say then hit the X to close it as FAST AS I CAN!!
I know that with all of our phone hackers, crackers and experts that we can ALL reach a Fix on this.
Damn Google...

One way I found that I can close it is by opening the menu that has active apps, then going to RAM, next turn the phone on its side (<--- yes do that), then hit clear memory a few times. And done its gone.
Thanks! That worked on my Sprint S4! (restarting phone has also worked for me, but this is easier.)
After holding down Home button to open the menu that has active apps, the options were still covered by the text to speak box. So I had to FIRST turn phone on its side to make visible the pie chart icon on bottom left, THEN then going to RAM tab and hiting clear memory a few times. When I turned it back to portait orientation, the text to speak box was gone. Thanks!
This has been happening to me all day long. so frustrating. I am also not the tech savy one in the house and hubby is not around. So thanks for the quick answer to get rid of it until he can uninstall the new update. Thanks
What is the pie chart menu option? What is the RAM tab? And will just be a little easier for Google to fix this? Lol
same problem here
Galaxy S6, same problem, started last night (September 24, 2015) . I do know that some updates were performed last night, not sure what. How do I uninstall the update? Which one is it? Help! I use voice typing constantly, and my phone is a brick when this thing locks up. It covers all my buttons. "Restart" doesn't clear it, I have to totally power off and back on. Right now, I have disable my voice key on my keyboard so that I don't accidentally touch it while waiting for solution.
Me too - just started today after some updates yesterday.
Same here....has anyone responded with a fix yet??
THANKS!
Glad it's not just me and my Note 3, but where does google get off sending out this kind of crap? It's enough to drive me to a windows phone.
Having the same issue only way I can get ride of it is to turn off my phone
same issue on moto droid mini; have to turn off phone too! poor QA google!!!!!
Me too. Galaxy S4. Have to shut the phone down and restart it to resolve the issue.
Piece of crap
Note 4 same problem started on the 24th
Same issue, Note 4
Same issue, Samsung Note 4.

I really, REALLY miss getting those notifications...which is my primary use for my beloved Gear S. Please help!

Check the app permissions for the Samsung Gear app elements, make sure they're enabled

This issue was solved by doing a factory reset on my watch. Oddly, it didn't start working properly until a couple hours later, but it does now give me notifications again! I hope this helps someone else that may be having the same problem.
