I have a NotePro 12.2 and use the Day Note Widget (the one that opens automatically when I open the cover). It works great for taking quick notes while walking around work. Sometime after the last system update it quit working. It just shows a dark screen in the note pane and doesn't allow me to take notes. I had to do a factory reset to send my device in for repair (battery issue). When I did, the Day Note widget started working again. When I got it back from repair, it continued to work for several days but then returned to the described state. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is there a known conflict with another app? Action Note itself still works if I just start the application I can create new notes and save them.
I tried to "force close" the app and clear cache and data, but that didn't seem to have any effect.

For the past few months now my wife's Tab 2 has been misbehaving, it is consistently crashing with certain apps (mainstream ones, not random junk) most noticeably the stock browser (making that unusable) - the browser starts and displays the menu and tab bar, but does not display any webpage or url and then will crash within 5 seconds without doing anything, thus returning to the home screen. Similar behaviour is seen when using the Google search widget, I type in a word, press the magnifying glass to search it pauses a long time then closes and goes back to the home screen.
Lots of apps work absolutely fine but about 30% don't, and it is pretty consistent if the work they always work, if they don't work they usually crash at the same point. I did wonder if it was a certain function or driver that triggers the crash or possibly more likely there is a hardware failure.
The tablet is completely stock and up to date. I have tried doing a factory reset and restored everything, that didn't work. I tried a factory reset and restored nothing (setting up no accounts not even a Google one and installed nothing) but still I get the same behaviour. I have tried wiping the cache partition as recommended on many websites (http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-8015). I have also tried running the Internet in Safe Mode, all with the same result of the app closing and going back to the home screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions or even something different to try?
(Ideally I didn't want to root it or use a custom ROM, but I may have to try this if nothing else can be suggested, I have my doubts whether this would fix it.)
I reported this issue to Samsung 21 days out of warranty and they want me to send it to the repair centre to get a quote whilst re-iterating that it was out of warranty.
I can't remember how or where from but I followed some instructions to log what was happening, please find that attached. A quick search for "died" will show where the issue occurs.
Thanks for reading, I hope someone can help as my wife has all but given up on using the tablet.
Thanks
Craig

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Wi-Fi)
Model: GT-P5110TSABTU
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: JDQ39.P5110XXDNH2
Internet Application Version 4.2.2-P5110XXDNH2
Anyone know if this is likely to be a hardware issue?
I'm currently charging it up ready to flash with CM12.1, always wanted to try it and it can't do much harm now and may even fix it!
Thanks for looking anyway.
Here's a tip, go with CM11 snapshot, cm12 is buggy and when you least expect it you get stuck with a bootloop. And drop the native browser and use Chrome.
This tab 2 isn't up to cm12, I was running CM11 for over a year with no issues whatsoever and speed and processor speed equal to my son's Nexus 10.
I t tried CM12 and after 2 weeks it went haywire, I'm not a flashaholic, I use my tab for Internet browsing, youtube and play one game Plants vs Zombies.
I get great battery life and everything works the way it's supposed to.
This a typical screen shot of my tablet in sleep mode.

I have a Note Edge on Sprint. Model SM-N915P on Android 5.0.1. I have performed a factory reset to attempt to troubleshoot the issues. I have also been up and down the settings.
Since the update I have been running into a boat load of problems that aren't identified through all of my searches.
1) When ever I reboot (once a day) the YouTube app always starts and is running in the background.
2) I cannot get any weather information to show on my edge panel (it did show before the update).
3) I dont know if the last 10 years of working in IT has made me an idiot, but I can not for the life of me get my phone to tell me I have a voice mail waiting. The only identifier to a new voice mail is through the visual voice mail app that I do not wish to use. Just as an FYI this is also happening on my wife's Lg G3. The old school voice mail symbol that used to appear in the upper part of the screen is a no show.
4) While using The Amazon Music Player and connected to blue tooth in my car music will just stop playing.
5)My phone does not lock consistently. I do have screen time outs and auto lock set, however, the screen does not always require a password. It is random as to which apps will be open when the phone locks or does not lock.
6) Of course battery life sucks donkey balls.
This is all I can think of for now.
I would love for CM to be available for my device, but in the mean time I will take any advice to resolve these issues.
Just factory reset and clear the cache for tow week I use Russian 5.0.1 and everything's good
Help. My camera will not open.
Just got my Note 7 during the middle of this week and waited until the weekend to start setting it up. As I was setting up Samsung Pay and trying to add a card, the camera failed to open. I went to the home screen and click on the camera app and it FC'd with "Warning Camera Failed".
I hit youtube to see what's going on and find that this was a common issue with S7 and S7 Edge. I attempt all the fixes that worked for those devices (force stop, wipe cache, wipe & reset data, start in safe mode), but no luck. I take it back to my local Sprint corporate store, no luck on full wipe either. They state its a defective device.
Sprint already has a replacement being mailed out, but has anyone else experienced this and if so, where you able to solve your issue?
Wow...haven't heard this one yet. At least they are replacing it for you.
Not the same problem but I find this annoying about mine. I have quick launch camera turned on. Than a pop up message shows up "camera has been opened via quick launch". If I don't select ok. It closes the camera. Is this normal?
All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
BUMP
try disabling battery optimization for those apps.
It seems that you have several bugs and if they all start happening after you have installed the latest update, then expect a patch coming soon.

I have actually done that. Found very limited success. I'm also finding very few results on this topic. Surely it's not just me though.
And I'm dreading the idea of a hard reset as I have many things on my phones, not all of which is sync'd to the cloud so it's a task to back things up appropriate. Specifically regarding "encrypted" apps like my password keeper app etc.
It would be great if there was a software application that allowed you to backup whatever is necessary to not lose data, then wipe the phone and instead of just simply restoring the full phone (which is likely to create the same problem one had before the hard reset), you could simply dump back in app data as needed. It would also help diagnose if the problem lies in a specific app's data.
High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.

Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.
