Auto reboot app or mod - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know of an app or mod that will auto reboot the GS5? I've tried the ones in the playstore but they don't seem to work on GS5. This is the one I used to use on the GS3 but doesn't work reliably on the GS5.

Have you tried TiBu ? I know you can make a schedule to clear cache and reboot after it has finished.

Thank you. I've had TiBu Pro for years and never thought to do that. Works better than just a reboot, clears cache and reboot in the middle of the night.

Market issues

Anyone else having problems with the market? Ones that I am having is that allot of the programs I am trying to download are saying not compatible? It's acting like I am on Ics. I am on cyanogenmod last nightly from months ago and the new gapps that I have been using for weeks. I have cleared the cache and data of the market. And also cleared cache and dalv. Any other ideas? I find it strange that I can't download the Capitol one app and many many others.

You could try removing the Market app. Then reinstall it.
1) Go to settings manage applications -> market -> stop -> clear cache -> clear data
reopen market, see if problem is fixed.
2) If not do this again, open rom manager and run fix permissions, do not open market, reboot the phone and open market again.
3) Boot in to clockwork recovery, format /system, wipe dalvik, wipe cache, reflash CM 255, reflash custom kernel if you have one, reflash gapps, reboot phone. Wait 10 minutes, open market.
so I went through all of it another 2 times and it finally works now. 3 times the charm I guess. It was kinda strange, it was acting like it was running on ICS.

ICS probably screwed up your phone. When I came back from ICS I was having FC issues on Waze and had to reinstall it, fix perms and reflash even though I restored a nandroid. Glad to hear it's working now!
Thanks, I had this same issue and clearing the data helped

CWM Recovery feature "Fix Permissions"

Not sure if many of you know this but there is a feature in CWMR called fix permissions. This is a handy feature to use if you're getting FC's that can't be cleared by going to /settings/applications/manage applications/name of app/clear data.
For examply, I just did a restore of RebelROM and the first time I went to open ICS Camera I got a FC. Cleared data, restarted the app, FC. So I booted into CWMR and fixed permissions and upon reboot the camera now works fine. Just a heads up for those who aren't familiar with this feature.

What's an "FC"?
I tried the "Fix Permissions" feature just to see how it worked. It completed after a few minutes and everything seems to be working just as well as it did before.

If you had no problems before fixing permissions, you won't see anything different. This is only for those having fc issues or other app related issues that arent fixed by more standard means. It's not a guarantee this will fix it either, just another thing to try along the way.

Hi there there is a counter running after the 'done!' message, any idea what is this?
Thanks man! fixed my problem

Mine was not 10 seconds but it did get done with 3 or 4 minutes (Galaxy S3 CWM v5.5.0.4). I realized after posting that this was not a thread for my phone, but I thought I'd let you know that it was not instantaneous even on my device (also you can thank Google for sending me to this thread instead of my normal lurking grounds (S3 / Nexus 10)).

Not enough storage?

Had anyone got this error before? Is there a fix? I got 7gb left of internal storage so this shouldn't be happening.

You don't need to bump your post every hour because you haven't gotten an answer yet. Not everyone is on at the same time.
Far as a solution:
First, have you cleared the cache and data for the market app and you still get the same error?
Are you running a ROM - If so, did you dirty flash(just wipe cache and flash the zip) or did you do a full wipe?(factory reset + Davlik cache)
If not running a ROM try to clear your cache anyways via CWM or TWRP see if that helps.

I did everything except clear cache for market. How do i do that?
Go to 'Manage Apps' in settings then click the market. There you'll see four options; force stop, uninstall, clear data, clear cache. Clear the data and the cache. This will make you agree to the TOS again but may solve your problem.

try reinstalling rom and rewiping everything again?
Do you have a directory called "LOST.DIR" on your sdcard that's ridiculously big? If you do, you can delete it - it's essentially the 'Recycle Bin' of Linux.
Also, try removing ALL your google accounts from the phone then clearing the market cache like mentioned above and then add your google accounts back. This is a fix for a different market problem but may work on this one as well.

I'm out of ideas then. Re-flash your ROM after doing a full wipe see if that fixes it. If not try a different or stock ROM.

No Phone App?

I just recently flashed 4.4 custom CM 11 ROM with a clean install, followed the instructions by updating the firmware, then flashing the ROM and GAPPS, then setting up the phone, then returning to recovery to flash the Kanged apps. There is no Phone app, though when I say "Ok, Google" and tell it to call a contact, it works, and asks what app to use by default (Phone, Skype). When the call began, no app opened, it was my home screen, though the call went through.
Is this a problem with the Kanged apps or what's up?
Edit: I just wiped cache and dalvik cache, re-flashed the PA Gapps [not the Kanged] and still no phone app. Can someone link me to the GApps they used that worked well? Maybe its just a faulty DL.

Give me the link where you download the cm11, I will take a look.
Also go into /systen/app and check to see if you have the phone app.

Click ROM Downloads, Using the 12/25/2013 (uploaded the 26th) one, as it was said to be the most stable. If you know of a more stable release (I'm looking for working bluetooth and gps, messages and phone) let me know. I'll edit this after checking the system folder.
Edit: Under system/app/ there is a "TelephonyProvider.apk" that has the same picture the Phone App would have. Trying to open it prompts me with installing an update, titled "Phone/Messaging Storage". Attempting to install it gives no results, and just says it wasn't installed.

OK, try this.
1)boot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system
2) install http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973328 and install this gapp http://invisiblek.org/gapps/gapps-kk-20131208.zip
3) reboot phone, once phone is up, wait 5 mins before going into the app draw.

Ok, downloading the stuff now. While it downloads, where is the option to wipe system in CWM Touch? Its probably in a pretty obvious place and I just overlooked it, I haven't clean flashed a rom since my second one, the rest were just updates to CM. I'll post back when the process is done. Thanks for all the help so far!

Yeah, it had been stuck and I actually failed to wipe system the first time. Did it this time around, and its booted up, with a phone app! The question I have for you now: Is flashing the "Kanged" apps worth it? What does it add? What does it break? I've seen some posts claiming it breaks things, I've seen others saying it works fine. What's your experience with it? Other than that, thanks a ton! Can't wait to get this buddy settled in!

The Kanged gapp is fine, but the newer version, for some reasons it's not working well with some of the app. The one I gave you is pretty much ok with most of the rom. At the end they should be all the same function and the question is which one will work with most of the rom. There is no advantage from one to the others.

Yeah haha, that tends to be how CM is. Its been like that since my OG Droid days haha.
Quick question; do you know how to change what the icons on the lock screen redirect too? For example, making the music icon open Google Play Music, not Apollo, or the messages icon opening Hangouts, not Messages.

OK, I'm not on the rom that you're using, but if I remember correctly, it should be in settings->security-> slider targets and shortcuts -> enable the Eight slider targets then tab on slider targets, you will see the lock on your screen, hold down on the lock and slide to any position on the circle, an app menu should popup, here you can select what app you want to launch for the position. Repeat the same for other positions. You have up to 7 apps to launch from the lock screen, the last one is to unlock.

Rotation and many other thing are not working on android 10

Hi folks,
I've just updated my one plus 6 to android 10 and I already have many problems. The rotation and the automatic brightness are not working anymore. Plus, when you try to put your phone near your ear to listen to an audio message on WhatsApp is not working as well. Am I the only one with these problems?
Thanks
Same here.
Is this a bug or did I something wrong?
mine worked perfectly fine. but i find some issues where when i type on my keyboard it's little bit laggy. that's bother me a lot. so i had to soft reboot it
I get the same issues.. I'd fixed with factory reset, now everything works fine
I wasn't getting notifications of missed calls so factory reset. Then I couldn't access my contacts with the message saying something like, you haven't given all permissions. I downloaded another call app and gave all permissions. It worked fine, so I deleted it and gave all permissions to the OnePlus phone app (including location which I'm sure I never had to give previous). It now works...

Oh my... I don't want to do a factory reset ?
I fixed it by uninstalling Magisk via TWRP (there's now an easy guide to install it in Android 10), rebooting to system, check if the sensors are working again, and then reinstalling Magisk through TWRP again. If this happens again just re-do the procedure, an update will probably fix this.
my sensors went bad when first installing the open beta 30, but with a cache wipe in the recovery, everything should be back to normal again. Well, in my case it was so you should give it a shot as well

I usally don't post comments on this forum but i would like to thank you. I had the same sensor issues since Android 10 and it really grinded my gears..
Just wiped cache from recovery and voila, the auto rotate works like a charm.
Thank you very much my friend and have a great day! :good:
