Greetings,
Got a Rezound last week and have been playing around with it. I used the CleanTools to get rid of some of the bloat, and also froze a few more packages suggested in a different thread.
Now, today I noticed that I have no audio, nothing. Phone doesn't ring, no notifications, music doesn't play...zilch.
I checked volumes, I checked to make sure I wasn't on 'silent', I put in headphones to make sure the speaker wasn't broken.
I get nothing. I can reenable all the packages and go through the cleaning process again, but I was wondering if anyone had any specific ideas as to what might have gone wrong.
Thanks.

If you re-enable everything does sound work again? If so, while you have all the packages disabled run "adb shell pm list packages -d" . This will list everything you have disabled. Post that list. Maybe move this discussion to a cleantool thread.
As discussed previously,when you freeze a bunch of apps you run the risk of messing up the sense framework, causing something not to work. Unfreeze the apps. This phone is fast and smooth enough and has plenty of memory. You don't need to freeze anything -just wait for root.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give it a shot when I get home tonight and post my results. I would have posted on the CleanTools thread, but I'm not allowed to post in the development forum until my post count is higher.

That's a real rule? Wow. I think 99% of my posts are from that forum..Either way post your findings and help out the class.
Same
I had the same thing happen to me.
I rebooted, then re-temp rooted and the sound is fine now (and was fine once I rebooted).
Just hoped it wouldnt happen again, so I'm keeping an eye on it.

That did the trick for me too. If it seems to re-occur I'll try to investigate further. Thanks for the help!
only developed this problem recently - no idea why it's doing it and it's quite random....anyone else?
yep same here... after some time i reflashed it again with root, and sometimes its open itself dont know why

Any update to this? I can't beliieve this is the only thread about this issue online. I have a black C105 unlocked from the UK purchased off ebay and being used with T-Mobile here in CA. It might be helpful if everyone state these details to help narrow down the issues or suspects. Just purchased this phone and this is a NO-GO if other apps can cause a simple issue like this to become a BIG issue. I had skype also and just uninstalled it. Before I wait any longer, what were your results?

i checked recently updated apps.. in market.. and that was the only app that was accessing the camera.. i think u should do a check on all apps that access your camera. and uninstall. one by one. Pierre
I have had this issue,I uninstalled Skype and now the camera is okay and does not open randomly.
yes guys, its SKYPE - lens opens when you connect to wifi or internet, because then SKYPE automatically login you, turns on, and acces camera - thats the reason why opens itself uninstall SKYPE or leave it that way... only solution is some update from skype, but i dont think its possible (skype is checking accesibility of cameras when turns on, but on our zoom it opens it)
THANKS!

Glad i found this thread, uninstalled SKYPE and no more lens popping out. Previously i thought it was because of a change in connection between wifi and hsdpa. :good:
No wonder i could not find the problem or apps that cause this issue, because skype is not even in the running processes or background processes.
Skype Android App
This error where the SGS4 Zoom lens randomly opens (and opens on startup aswell) can be traced in Xprivacy to the "configuration" method found under the "phone" heading for Skype.
Are there any other apps that cause this error? A list of avoidable apps would be useful for SGS4 Zoom owners.
Sometimes some apps trigger camera to open, we can control their functions of triggering by using xposed modules.
It's very hard to make out the list as their might be lots of such apps.

Viber android app
Viber is now also causing this problem.
You can fix it either by uninstalling viber or by rooting your phone and installing Xprivacy.
The method call that is making this happen is called "loadLibrary" and can be found under the Shell heading in Xprivacy, but viber stops functioning when the method is disabled so a full viber uninstall seems like the only proper solution.
Just a thought.
Would if someone is trying to tap into our devices and that's why the camera keeps popping out because someone is trying to watch us or something... Because I never downloaded Skype on my device and it never had it.

Hi guys,
I listened to pandora last night, I've closed and reopened pandora a dozen times trying to get the Pandora navigation card off my LG G watch but it won't leave and I can't dismiss it. Any ideas?

I want to resurrect this thread. I'm the one who posted the issue in the thread above, but I agree this deserves its own thread.
I've emailed back and forth to Pandora support, and they wash their hands of it, and told me to talk to LG. I'm of the opinion that if there were no native Wear support for Pandora, how does it work in the first place? It displays album art and allows you to pause, play and skip. The Pandora support monkey says they don't support Wear, period.
Sorry for any confusion, but as I mentioned before, we do not support Wear functionality. The card may be appearing due to the way LG identifies music playing on your phone. Since we have not yet created an implementation for Android Wear, there isn't anything we can change to fix this.
Again, I'd recommend reaching out to LG about this issue to see if there is anything they can do about the music card on their end.
Let me know how that conversation goes.

Wear simply pulls the image, text, and buttons from a notification. In the case of media playback, it pulls that functionality from the same place your lockscreen does to display the art and pause/next functionality. Music apps don't need to do anything to work with Wear. I feel like what they're saying is true... Because I've encountered this bug on a few other apps. I think it's a bug in the Wear software itself (or just bad code on the developer's part). I figured it might have something to do with media apps not releasing themselves from the system correctly so Wear doesn't realize the app has stopped and no longer wants to display track info.
You can change watch face or open Amazon prime music and Swype off to get rid of it. prime works as it should.

While it may be a case of evolving functionality, I think it's chickenshark of Pandora to simply dish it off on LG or Google. I would hope that they'd take some ownership in the matter, and contact LG themselves to see what might be done, or offer some workaround. They just told me to go pound sand.

Oh, that definitely sounds like Pandora to me. They're incredibly lazy. Look how many years it's taken them just to get playback controls in the ongoing notification.
Found a workaround in the other thread on this topic. If you press Pause on the Wear card, you can then swipe right to dismiss it.

Works for some people, hasn't worked for me.
EDIT: Correction. This now works for me. Weird.
Same with Sticher or TuneIn for me...
I have had this happen for Sticher and TuneIn as well. I placed the watch in "airplane mode" and the notification on the watch immediately went away. Turned off "airplane mode" on the watch and everything was normal.
Anyone else see this? My Gear S is freezing up and giving me this error message. Resets and rebooting does not help.

YES! Annoying as hell!
I had this same problem after installing an app that, I think, was written for the Gear 2, and quickly (sloppy) patched to work with the S..
I did most everything I could to get the error to stop, but once the issue starts...that's it...the remedy is within the currently inaccessible system files.
In the end, I had to do a full reset AND setup. And, FYI, I was unable to use the restore function from any of the previous backups (this only replicated the error).

w-home not responding problem
I had the exact same problem and had to reset without restore. Problem is probably related to one of my recent installs, most likely one of the following (sorry I am not able to narrow it down further):
euronews EXPRESS
Thomson Reuters
Smart Hub
Bike!
vCounter
News Republic
Anybody else notice same problem since installing one of the above?

It seems that there is a number of applications that can trigger it. I do not know enough to spot what they have in common but I found another culprit: Appy Geek for Gear. Keep it installed you face the problem in one of its notifications. Uninstall it, the problem is gone.
It also seems that until you find which app gives you the problem, there is a way to avoid it: Turn Notifications off from the Android Gear Management app.
I don't have any of those apps and I had the device do that to me as well. I rebooted the Gear and the issue continued, but once I cleared all 50 of my notifications, I haven't had that problem.

Was able to clear notifications and that seemed to resolve it. The timing was every 2-3 days for me and then the lock up would start. I have minimized notifications to only the most critical ones (which makes sense). So far so good.

I hada same trouble with news republic... Very annoying!
Actually, as somebody else said it is because of the notifications. The apps don't really do anything to the watch unless they're running and they crash your phone. I would've assumed that notifications would clear from the watch once they were cleared from the phone but they just accumulate over time. The problem seems to be that each new notification adds another page to the homescreen to the left. Just clear your notifications every once in a while and it will stop freezing up, it did with me.
One of the most useful features of this watch I found is to set a timer by saying 'ok google..set timer for ...minutes'
However, this no longer works for me and when I try to do it, it just takes me into the timer app itself, which is annoying as it's a lot less convenient and also it's not possible to set certain intervals ie 20 minutes.
Any idea what's going on?

Thanks for your input. I suppose it's some relief that the issue is with Google rather than us. Just hope that this is resolved quickly unless it's intentional.
And it's working again...
