Crap, I have exactly the same issue, did you get it resolved?
Try to reset the watch. Cut the BT on the phone so it doesn't start pairing, go into the tools on the watch and chose reset.
Put the watch off and now delete pairing on the phone and reboot it to be sure the watch is no longer paired.
Now start the pairing process all over.
Hope this helps

Mine too. Suddenly decided after a week to continually disconnect from phone. Get a message saying 'unfortunately smartwatch 2 had stopped working'. Tried every reset. Annoyingly it works fine on my wife's galaxy s4. Really hope it's not the z1 that's knackered! Returning on Monday.

If it works fine with your wife's s4 than its not the problem with the watch.
Its the problem on your phone with smartwatch 2 app.
Try to delete data and reinstall app on phone, delete pairing and reset watch and start again.
Bad watch is the one that doesnt work on any phone...

Yeah, hopefully mine will be picked up today, but I'm told it may be up to 14 days for replacement. And they kept talking about repair when talking on the phone when it was DOA, hopefully they took on board that it just needs replaced...
I have exactly the same issue. I have tried multiple phones, but no dice..... cant reset it from tools as cant get past the clock screen. Going to try to update the fw and see what happens

Hi, I just bought an unlocked SM-G920I and I can not find the app. Does it worth it? Also, where can I find it?

I have it in my app drawer on my G920i. I don't use it though. I've heard you can stress the system if you clear things too often. I've heard people complain about how much RAM it's using, but that is the point of having it.
Thanks! Found it. Should I unistall it? Just opened it once

I'm not going to touch it. Chances are that it's integrated into the system and disabling it could cause instability. If Samsung doesn't let me disable something, especially like that app, I assume I will have issues if I do... If you're rooted and can make a backup before you attempted it, then you can revert back, but otherwise, I wouldn't mess with it.
Hey guys,
Its been a while since I rooted my phone (I've been using Samsung phones with locked bootloader) and it sure feels good to be back!
Now, I've been out of the loop for so long that I don't know what I should do next with my rooted V20!
I would love to have you guys come in here and discuss how we can make our V20 even better!
Thing's I've done so far.
Install Adaway
Remove Bloatware using titanium backup (is there better way to remove bloatware beside titanium backup?)
So far I removed all the TMobile apps, is there anything else I should remove that will improve the battery life?
Thanks and lets get this thread going! :good:

I hear ya, I was on a S7 Edge and a S6 before that. It has been a while. With that being said, LG stuff can mostly go....unless you use it. It doesn't seem to be too bad, so you might be able to leave them. Download Better Battery Stats and see what is causing any wakelocks that can be prevented.
Has anyone managed to get rid of Lookout? I hate that thing and want it gone.

Might want to FREEZE apps instead of uninstalling until a viable stock restore is available
Adblocking for sure. Should help improve battery life a hair by not downloading data for ads and processing them to be shown.

From what I've read, TWRP isn't doing proper nandroids, and there isn't a stock image to flash. At the risk of sounding "elitist," I'd recommend going slow.
At&t didn't even have the HTC 10 when I went in. The good days are dying....Root, I will miss you

I haven't gotten the phone yet (though LG store has already called me that I can get it already just been busy due to all saints day festivities) so wanted to ask, how did you root your v20? and what version is your V20?

So your saying LG doesnt have an app to reflash to stock FM? i see threads for the stock T mobile firmware. What about the nandroid issue with twrp do you know where the github repo is for our version of twrp i'll check it out.

I know what's in the root thread in the development section.
Is this what you're looking for?
The problems with the .tot files in a nutshell.
I'm not a dev. I can bearly muddle my way around ADB commands. I know what I know from watching the struggles in the root thread. Yeah, there's root and little else. The process doesn't seem quite ready for prime time which of course hasn't stopped the root commandos.
I CAN CONTROL THE WORLD WITH ROOT! LOL . No but really, what can't you do with root? you can do everything as long as the phone doesnt required to implement any new hardware within the phone... I like my Adaway, and greenify, and removes or freeze apps i dont like nor need, I like my pie bar for faster shortcuts (sure, the phone itself has the second screen to put up to 5 apps, but the pie bar give you a lot more options so i will have the 5 on the second screen plus the many mores in the pie bar which is a fast process too, maybe even faster than the second screen), i also like my xposed for every module i desire, AND MY BELOVED TITANIUM BACKUP! and many many more things
The one thing I hope and pray to see come from this newly acquired root is a camera mod that will allow 16MP in full 16:9. Please pull through devs! I would donate for that :highfive:

That's likely because the sensor isn't 16:9 shaped, it's 4:3. You have to crop the sensor to get 16:9.

Hey guys. I have a big question. Tonight i want to take some pictures to Milky Way. And where is the 30 second shutter speed. Becouse with 10 second the result is bad. Or someone can help with the settings? I tryed to take one shot with ISO 100 and shutter speed 10s. But with 10s its impossible. I need 30s. Where can i find that option? Thanks guys. :good:

Try another camera app that supports a longer shutter speed. The native camera app is a system app and you can't change the system without root.

Anyway i don't use these apps : Secure Folder and Samsung Pay. But for me 'ROOT' means something what makes my phone worse.
And what about if i'll root my phone for 2-3 days? After when i shot the milky way, i will delete or take it off the root. Its possible?

Yes, it is possible. But just for your information rooting doesnt make the phone worse, you could actually increase it's speed, battery life etc.
Also once you root it then on e and for all ypur phone is classified as software tampered device (since knox is tripped, noway to reset it till now) by samsung. So in case in future you want to use samsung pay theres noway 4 it.
Anyways if you insist in doing then you can proceed in doing (atb)

Hello all. Often I get lag and camera failed error. It happens mostly when I launch camera from double press off power key, into video mode. The camera is unusable for some time.
*How do I update the camera APK from APK mirror. I always get app not installed when side loading system apps. This issue I had on previous Samsung flagships.
is the app your trying to sideload signed ? are you rooted ? sorrry they seem like obvious questions and i think i remember your name from back in the day on the evo 3d forum ??? so your not new to this, but had to check

Thanks for reply. I mean they are from APK mirror but not sure if signed. I'm not rooted and have no plans to.
Hahaha you got me, I'm an old head lol. Haven't needed to get help often so yeah it's been a while
I would not side load this.
There may be a glitch with using the side key to launch it.
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app...
Keep trashware social media apps like WhatsApp, Tic-tok, FB, etc off the phone.
Clear system cache.
Clear cam data and try again.
thought the name seemed familiar, think weve crossed paths several times with various devices over the years, you would need root to sideload it im quite sure, as it would be trying to overwrite the original app

Go to Device Care and in memory clear the cache apps. Now try the side switch cam thing, after it launches go immediately back to Device Care and see what apps loaded since it was cleared.
It may give a clue to the cause. I've used this technique to track down some nasty little buggers. It's saved me from a factory reset.

This problem occurs more than you might think. I am extremely annoyed at paying dearly for a smartphone full of annoying problems. I get even more annoyed because Samsung doesn't release software updates to fix this. The last update for my version was released in Feb.
