Fliboard on the s7 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Anyone using flibpoard? My phone gets extremely hot and battery life socks when I use flipboard.

I disabled flipboard

I use flipboard but don't have that problem. I've disabled a ton of other apps including the "briefing" app. I think it's a widget of Flipboard. You might want to try doing the same use the "Package Disabler Pro" app. Also get the latest tmobile update haven't had any heating issues since upgrading.

AdFree Not Found in Market

Tried updating my AdFree hosts today and got "This copy of AdFree is too old, please update to a newer version" error. Looked for AdFree Android in the Play Store and got "Item not found". Has this app been blocked?
I use ad away it's really good

Mine would pull up as well, but if you open ad free, it will tell you it is out of date and needs updated.

Is there anyway to block ads in apps only and not in browsers? Many links I click on in emails and certain webpages use ad servers (I assume) and ad blocking causes these pages to say cannot be displayed. I do not want ads in apps themselves but still want to use links in the browsers that currently are not working when ad blocking is turned on.
I mailed the devs, they will release it any soon again.

There is a new version of Adfree with a new market link. You have to uninstall v.0.8.44 and install this one (v.0.8.45). Don't know why this was done...
They are all gone AdFree, Ad away. Cannot find them

Here is a link to the ad blocker for all those requesting: http://jrummy16.com/jrummy/ad-blocker/Ad-Blocker-JRummy-Apps.apk … #android
Is Google now blocking the blockers?
Is Google now blocking the blockers? Either ADB, AdFree or another said I had to set a Proxy for it to work so I did. Today, I could no longer access the PlayStore. Deleted the Proxy in WiFi Advanced Settings and now can access the PlayStore again.

Haxsync and KitKat

Hey guys, has anybody tried had sync? I always used it on my nexus devices, however, the last update for it is on October 6th, way before KitKat release date. I've read through some of the reviews and some have mentioned of it preventing phone from going to deep sleep and causing wake locks. That was on a galaxy phones though, no mention of issues on nexus 5. I have just got the nexus, don't really want to install something that's not fully compatible yet.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Working fine for me.. Just got my phone a couple hours ago, so can't really say much on the wake lock part. But, the contacts sync up and its fine so far..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Why not try it for your self? If it causes problems just uninstall it. Plan and simple. Not like it can brick your phone because an app isn't 100% compatible.
Working fine for me too.

I have sync.me on one of my old androids letting it update my contacts...good idea if you have a old phone laying around...not sure but you could use haxsync like that too.

I did when I got my nexus. My battery died faster than expected. I looked through logs, and noticed that yahoo weather was draining a lot of battery on the background, ended up uninstalling that and haxsync because I figured that it could have been both as android usage was also high. Today, everything was fine. I will try to reinstall it.
I do seem to get some contact pics synced, I'm guessing by default Facebook app still doesn't sync contacts on stock, right? Pictures might be coming from Google +?

MersauX,
Can you please tell me where you found it? What link? When I search for the Haxsync APK, I find a lot of sites, but I am always a bit leery at downloading them from these types of places since I worry about the files authenticity. Thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not currently available on the play store. That's the reason I asked in the first place.
I've never had any wakelocks using haxsync, and it has never shown up in my battery stats ever.

S health

Has anyone else's S health stopped working? I'm not sure when it happened and I tried to clear data to see if it would help but it didn't...
I uninstalled the app and reloaded it from the Sammy store but still no go
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Yes, happened to me. I noticed it after I let the program update. I actually just wiped the system with Kies to get it back. I'm currently restoring everything (except s health) with titanium backup after rooting again.
Let me know if it stops working. I uninstalled the update but that didn't work, maybe I'll uninstall it reboot and reload it from the sammy store this time.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
So I uninstalled s health then went into app settings and uninstalled the update for health services, after I did that I kept getting a force close for another app repeatedly so I had to do the quick tap to get a restart. After getting back in everything was fine reinstalled s health from the sammy store and it had me update health services and everything worked after that.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
There were two apps. the S health and the healthservice. I seem to remember them both being updated at the same time. I couldn't figure out how to downgrade the second. That's why I tried the nuclear approach. This was after booting in safe mode and confirming that it wasn't an app conflict. I figured I'd delete the backups. If it starts acting funny tomorrow morning after I restore everything else, then I'll know there is something else going on. In the meantime, I'm going to avoid the update.

if you froze or disabled "samsung apps" then S Health isn't going to be able to DL the update it wants, unfreeze samsung apps, use it to update S health then it should work....
I think either root or xposed breaks it. Can anyone confirm that they have a working S-Health with root and/or xposed?

I just installed xposed and mine died before that being rooted it was working just fine.
So you're saying that xposed has broken it for you?
Sprint - Galaxy S5, Moto X, Nexus 7 - All stock rooted
i can confirm that installing xposed is causing "health services" to crash. Root alone didn't do it for 2 days. Just installed xposed this morning and health services force closes every minute or so. The pedometer widget is stuck on the lock screen with 0 add trps now as well. But can't close it as S Health csnt open without health services functioning.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Interesting. I have xposed running and s health is running fine. I haven't allowed the upgrade to s health assuming that was the problem. Does uninstalling xposed fix it?

i can verify xposed breaks it uninstall exposed n it works fine
I am rooted and have xposed installed, I always turn auto updates off for every app I have just for that reason. Updates dont always fix issues. Original s health from day one factory loaded and has been perfect since I got the phone. I guess thats why they say every phone is different and why we create backups. -__- Do you have version 3.0.0065?

[Q] AT&T G3 No visual voicemail/ other Apps

Hello, I just got my G3 from AT&T on Friday and I've noticed some issues with the Play store showing apps that should be available. The AT&T Visual Voicemail app says that its not compatible, but if I download the apk from XDA, it works fine. Also, I can't locate the Amazon app (Regular Store App, not App Store app). Its almost like the phone is not an AT&T phone. When I put Visual Voicemail in the Play store, it shows TMobiles VV and allows me to download and install it but not AT&T. Any suggestions?
mine had vvm preloaded on it. i'm not seeing amazon app either, maybe a compatibility thing for the screen res?
Just find the att vvm apk online and install it. Working fine on my g3.
Same with the Amazon app apk. Not to be confused with the Amazon app store apk
Sent from my G3!
This is because of our screens. The play store restricts what it shows you based on your screen size/resolution. I believe there's an xposed module that fixes this not sure though

A friend of mine actually found an older apk for Amazon and installed it. It works fine, but Google Play says it incompatible. To me, the mobile Amazon page is very similiar to the app.

I actually prefer the visual voicemail app that came preloaded on my G3. I had nothing but problems with the AT&T app on my M7 and had to switch to YouMail to maintain that functionality. The "stock" app is speedy and clean.

This is true
I simply went to www.amazon.com and installed the Amazon App Store apk. Then from the app store I downloaded the Amazon apk.

Is anyone else continuously prompted to enter their password before they can check visual voicemail and download the messages? Mine prompts me quite often, then gives me an 'cannot perform login due to error in connection' message.

I've been using it since day one. Have disabled quite a few services including Bixby. Haven't noticed any ill effects and think my battery usage is pretty awesome. Here's a thread about Package Disabler Pro with what packages members are disabling.
Thanks for the heads up

Using it without issue to kill a few Samsung apps I've replaced with others.

Well lets be fair...the apk itself wont cause issues. What the end user does with it can cause issues absolutely.
But that's on the user not the apk.

Very true
Used to use it. Now I don't. Stoped because I didn't notice any benefits. Both ram usage and battery life are about the same with and without it. Also, there was a time when the developer pushed like a gazillion updates within 2 days. Not too confident he knows what he is doing. Oh, and this is the only app I've ever used that needs an extra app installed to make it work. Something is off.
Used to use it, now using Adhell. Much simpler. And working
Using it on my S8+, and did on several previous Sam phones. It just works, no problems ever.
I can't prove if it saves any battery, but the phone is just cleaner without all those unused apps.
Used to use it, made things worse.dont need it with S8+.
I have tried to find this but does anybody know how applications such as package disabler work?
I have it too, yet to install on s8+
