[Completed] [Q] S Health - XDA Assist

Hello!
I hope somebody can help me out with this. I have a rooted stock sm n900v (VZW Note 3) running stock 4.4.2 and XPosed. A few weeks ago, the S Health pedometer suddenly stopped counting my steps after working great for a long time. All of the sensors passed tests, so I thought it was a software bug, but uninstalling and re-installing the apk made no difference. Here is what I have done, all to no effect:
-Tested the accelerometer and linear acceleration sensors
-Masked the app with rootcloak
-Converted S Health to a user app (and back!), no luck
-Checked the setting in Wanam XPosed for SHealth secure storage compatibility
-Turned off XPosed (and all modules)
-Booted in safe mode
-Wiped cache and dalvik cache
-Wiped app data
-Uninstalled app updates (and reinstalled)
-Uninstalled and reinstalled the apk
-Ported the S5 S Health app and installed that
-Two factory resets
After all of this, I figured it's a hardware problem, or perhaps a fault with the KK step counter xml. BUT! The sensors test out fine, and third party pedometer apps work fine - particularly j4velin's Pedometer - that hook into the KK API. Apps that hook onto the built-in KK step counter seem to have no problem EXCEPT for Pacer, which won't count steps on the "built-in step counter" setting.
I figured I would inquire of the much smarter minds here. Can anybody point me to somebody who has solved this problem before?
Thanks very much!

Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your issue. You will need to ask for help here:

CM10 - Xperia S - GPS not working

Hi there, first Post in this Forums
I've got an Xperia S running CM10 and everything works fine except for GPS.
CM build FXP147
Things I did:
Wiped cache/dalvik
Fixed permissions.
reinstalled everything (Factory reset in recovery)
Used gpstest, status, helper etc... (a whole bunch of those tools)
and it's still not working.
Things i did before it stopped working:
I was running CM9 (gps working) and updated to 10. I don't exactly know if it was working then (haven't tested it). Next thing i did was installing gapps for JB because of photosphere.
Photosphere didn't work right away, so i did a little research: Problem was that my Xperia isn't listed under supported devices.
So i changed build.prob, got photosphere working and was happy.
I don't exactly know if this is related to my gps problem in any way, just in case:
After taking a picture with photosphere my android media process got active and drained my battery (~70%) in about an hour. So i read a few more topics and resolved that problem with "rescan media root"
3 days ago i checked gps: not working (doh!)
And then again: i did research.
found a bunch of possible solutions (mentoined above) - nothing worked.
So now i'm standing here with GPS not working and no way to get it work. Or even a reason why it isn't working anymore.
need help
Would have posted it in Android development forums, but my penis, ehhh postcounter is to small.
sincerly bjoern
PS: english is not my native language. i hope spelling isn't too bad.

How to completely disable accelerometer and gyroscope on lolipop

Hello,
recentrly i got my hands on an galaxy s4 that has been smasched to a wall.The accelerometer and gyroscope have been damaged and interfere a lot with phones behavour.Phones run 5.0.1 and has root privilages.I also have root explorer.I assume that disabling completely these features can be done by deleting some system files.
Also i have tryied everything else,calibrations,updates etc and i am 100% sure that these sensors are damaged(also selftests dont pass)
Can you please tell what i must do in order to completely disable these two sensosrs from the device so that it can get in good working condition again.
Thanks.

[FIX] Google Play Services force close problem after update

Hello Everyone!
Regarding to the user comments added to Google Play Services app, a lot of people have problems with unexpected force closing the app after last update (9.0.83). It usually closes after opening Gmail, Maps, Google Keep etc. I faced the same problem and tried to restore previous version of my OS, wipe data, cache etc. - didn't work.
I found a temporary solution of this problem - it will probably work for you if you have Xposed and Amplify intalled (like it was in my case).
Some people says that after uninstalling Amplify problem was gone, but the real reason is the "lcing" wakelock which you probably limit by the app. Just try to turn off the control of this wakelock and check if the problem is gone.
Works on my Galaxy S6 (stock Android 6.0.1, SpaceX kernel).
Tell me if it works for you
You are my HERO !!! THANKS !!!
thx dude.. got this problem for almost a month now.. ur solution fix it for me..

Watchmaker (App) Issues

Hey guys,
So I recently downloaded the new Watchmaker app that was released for Tizen (finally), but I'm running into some issues and was wondering if you guys were experiencing the same problems or have any fixes.
The problems are basically to do with the sensors.. So for all of the watch faces, my steps are showing as 0, the weather is showing as default (something like 6 degrees with 95% POP), and heart rate doesn't update as it should. For the heart rate, if I reload the watch face, it updates with the newest heart rate (I think), but the steps and weather are stuck at default (0 for steps).
Mostly everything else works (battery, stop watch, time, etc...), but for some reason the steps and weather won't update. I have checked to see that the scripts were correct..
For heart rate it's {shr}, for steps it's {ssc}, weather is {wtd}.
So, anyone experiencing these issues or have any fixes? I'm definitely out of ideas.
Thanks
Wait for an update. It's still new and buggy for now.
Sensors don't work reliably for me either, it's an app issue as noted, steps are way off.

Where did you see that...I'm running the newest beta of the watch WM app, and steps still don't work.

I read something about it over on the developers Google+ page.
It mentioned being updated and submitted to Google for approval so should be due about Wednesday.

Thanks, I hang out over there and all I've seen from Alex Curran (WM team) on things addressed in updates is below, which doesn't include a fix for reading sensors/getting accurate step data. However (some good news here) Alex did said today in a post on G+ that Tizen 3.0 (not released yet) will provide access to the watch sensors from native Tizen 3rd party apps. For some reason (known only so Samsung), currently only web apps (like the Facer app) have access to the step sensor, and WM (being a native Tizen app) can't access the watch's step sensor (at least not until Tizen 3.0 is released).
So hopefully Samsung will release Tizen 3.0 soon!

Watchmaker doesn't seem to like custom roms on rooted Samsung devices (KLTEDV with custom Nougat rom). I can get it on the phone but when trying to install the companion app to the watch (Gear S3) the phone crashes. All my other companion apps install without issue from phone to watch, it's just Watchmaker that doesn't want to play the game? Yes I do know that I can always go back to a stock rom but it just seems a bit unusual that this app is the odd one out amongst the rest?
I was able to install Watchmaker on my Gear S2 with a Samsung Note 3 on custom Kitkat rom (SlimROM). My issues so far are that I can't update the app on the Gear S2 (even though it states "installed" in the notification, I only see the installation icon looping indefinitely on the Gear Store on my phone) and Watchmaker can't update weather status anymore...
I'm having similar issues with my Gear S3 and Watchmaker.
I can build faces and scripts that run and update great in the app, but then don't function properly once loaded on the S3.
Examples: Temperature units are always displayed as C regardless of setting in both app and watch.
Temps and weather info don't udate on the watch. They just display whatever value they had when I pushed the face from my phone to the S3.
Timezone handling is off, even on my phone. Trying to set something as simple as UTC is horrific. And having a clock that displays the time at home when I'm traveling doesn't work no matter how I've defined the time zones. Very frustrating.
Ok...most of my issues seem to be resolved now. One problem was my phone somehow got stuck in a manual time zone mode. Fixed now. Took a couple of sending the eatch face to my watch but suddenly started displaying other timezones properly.
Ditto for weather status.
Only remaining problem was temps are still in Celcius, but some trivial math worked around that.

My watch maker can't seem to find my gear s3. even after i reboot and do all the suggestions.
Hello guys! I've changed my smartphone and I've re-installed watchmaker, and now, I can't find a way to make the phone's battery level more frequent refresh.. I don't remember.. Thanks
WM S3 gear step counter
Dear friends,
WM obviously can not show steps from gear S3, using the sensor built in. Nevertheless there is a workaround using data from S-Health app. Now my question : step value on my gear shows 9012 steps, counter on s-health app shows equal value of 9012 steps,
but on watchface from WM it shows 14827 steps. Using {ssc} command for this value.
Does anybody has an idea where this value comes from, or how to setup that both values are equal.
By the way, setting for
Settings: Watch
Steps source for Gear S2/S3 (Samsung Health on Phone (Strategy 1)
Thanks for support

It's the S-Health app on your phone since it's showing your combined steps from both phone and S3. I tried changing this in the S-Health app to stop counting steps on the phone and that did work, but now it seems to have stopped the S-Health auto-sync of getting the steps from the S3. When I launch the S-Health app on my phone, then it syncs them. I tried changing it back to combined and turned the phones step count back on to try and get auto-sync back, but it didn't fix it. Anyway, I'm now stuck with no autosync of steps from the S3 for my troubles.
If you want to try this as your, pardon the pun, mileage may vary, here we go, but note that this could put you in the same no auto-sync between S-Health and the S3 situation that I'm in now.
Open the S-Health app on your phone, select Steps to get to the steps main screen, select the hamburger menu and then select View your Step Count Data, select the mobile phone, now select the hamburger menu and you'll see how to stop the phone from counting steps. Then select the hamburger menu and select View your Step Count Data and set it to the S3 or All Steps since it's the phones S-Health step count is disabled.

Sad... since this thread started.. this app STILL has problems..for me at least
I had a similar problem with the steps recorded by phone and gear. After I managed to filter only the steps from gear (in a custom app) I found out that the synchronization between the phone and gear is very bad. Even the steps count changes in the gear, the SHealth on my phone still displays the old value. If I disconnect and reconnect the gear it updates the value. Not reliable for a company app.
Thoughts?
Can't install companion app on Gear S3
Strange
I have Watchmaker on my Galaxy S8+ but when I try to install the companion app on my Gear S3 I receive an error msg saying that this app is not available any longer for purchase, or that it's not supported in my country or device.
I purchased the full version and have it installed on my phone.

Use SDB (Smart Development Bridge) from your computer to install the tpk file.
1) To use the SDB in a target device, set the device to the SDB mode by going to Settings > More system settings > Developer options > USB debugging in the device menu.
2) Turn on wifi (not auto) on your watch and make sure the watch is connected to the same wifi as your pc.
3) Use sdb connect and sdb install commands to perform the install. More details about SDB here: https://developer.tizen.org/dev-guide/2.4/org.tizen.devtools/html/common_tools/smart_dev_bridge.htm

Question Unable to pair to Smart watch after root

Hello,
My girl rooted (root access is fully given (Zygisk, Ramdisk)) her Z-Flip3 some days ago. Now she can't connect to her Smart watch (Samsung Watch Active) anymore. There's always a screen which says both devices are pairing but that's it. The process keeps stucking there.
I've been plumbing away a whole day searching a workable solution but nothing worked.....
