Dictionary doesn't work after AT&T update 03-14-2016 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5

I updated my Note 5, and now whenever I select a word, scroll over to the "Dictionary" option and click it, it does NOTHING. If I go into all apps and open up the dictionary app, it'll have the word I tried to define in the history, but it doesn't pop up anymore. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

You have the AT&T variant and you got the 6.0 update?

Yes and No. I am running the AT&T variant but from what I read it was only a security update. I'm still running 5.1.1, although I looked for an update this morning.

What I would do is go to the application manager and go over to dictionary and clear the cache

Add me to the list. My dictionary isn't working now either.

I've done that, as well as wiped the device cache partition, disabled and re-enabled the app, soft restarted the device and just about any other simple things like that.

My dictionary doesn't work either actually.. I suppose it's a bug, thanks at&t.

What dictionary?

Hold down on any word and highlight it and click the dictionary button then download it, close out of it, and try the dictionary again, it won't work

That defeats the purpose of the menu when you have a word highlighted. My app doesn't even open either.

LG keyboard greyed out options

Hey all. I just got the phone yesterday and am loving it btw. I liked using the LG keyboard and having the extra row on top with the numbers. However, after messing with it for a while, that disappeared and it started to say each letter out loud and most of the options are greyed out as seen in the screen shot. The only thing I have found in searching that might have caused it is trying out light flow lite. Has anyone else experienced this or know a way to fix it?

Yes light flow and other apps seems to trigger the talkback feature even though its says its off. The solution I found is to go into setting then apps find the talk back app and uninstall it. Then all that will stop. If you ever need it again you can just install it again. I notice this only happen with LG keyboard. Other 3rd party keyboards are fine

That did it. Thank you so much! However, it worked to simply disable the Talkback app instead of actually uninstalling (it didn't have that as an option since it's a system app). Everything is good now!

There is no option there. Only a force stop option, but I believe that once you reboot your device the app is again active.

T-Mobile knows more than you think...

Got a notification today telling me my device health was good, and I had to check performance and this popped up:
I rooted 2 days ago and stayed stock. Anyone know how they know this?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
When your phone is rooted, it knows, and so do the apps. That's why you cannot install isis wallet if your phone is rooted. In the about section in settings, it says if the device is rooted. If it says modified then it is rooted and any app can probably see that. Doesn't mean that tmobile knows it is, but the app does, and it may, or may not report this back to them.

Re: Update
T-mobile only recently updated the "my Account" app. Giving them selfs access to all kinds of stuff on your phone. This also detects the tethering mod :/
Best thing to do is uninstall the update...
Very crappy thing of them to do, But I guess they have to be like the nsa.
That's because you guys have the option to collect diagnostics enabled.. Mine is disabled and it shows unknown for everything

Actually, you granted them access by accepting the permissions. Thats why i read that stuff. And being a developer, i can usually figure out what actions fall under the required permissions too.

They went commercial, now are a official corporation. They are looking to make that money, eventually. With features like a CM account, privacy guard, secure messaging they were getting ready for it. None of those are attractive though.

it seems more likely the purchase fees will be for the added features. Allcast is the perfect example. It's a CM app on the app store that has a time limit unless you pay money. That's their future. I can easily imagine a CM rom that is basically AOSP, and a collection of appstore apps that you have to pay money for to get the "Full CM experience". Of course, if you buy a CM phone (like the oppo n1), you'd get all those for free.
Or they just collect your data and sell it on their own kinda like Google

Three LG software updates - July 25th

I had auto updates on so my phone only told me that three updates were done in the Update Center. No log of what they were.
Anyone know?

Those are not system updates, they are the LG apps that got updated like lg keyboard and other stuff from LG. Not sure why they can't put in the play store like HTC, Motorola instead of having one more useless app store like Samsung.
No one said they are system updates.
Software updates from the LG Update app. I already did the Keyboard update days before, so it wasn't that.
3 other packages were updated.

It's not an app store like Samsung, it's just an internal update system. The two are really different.
I don't care for the keyboard update. It messes up a lot of the auto correct.

Try typing the word "you'd". Does it recognize it? Also, try ending a sentence with the word "at" and then type a period. Does it switch it to e.g.?

I have an English degree and I frequently use intentionally bad grammar for various reasons. This is a huge reason I can't use Swiftkey either. Both of them are hell-bent on turning your typing into a single style with a concrete set of rules and patterns. Let ME decide what I want to say.

If you disabled app with debloat tool, you can enabled it again but if you delete that app you have to put back those app file to app/priv app folders.
If you wanted to stop an updates why'd you need the updates features back?
BTW check those apps
LGFota.apk
LGUpdateCenter.apk
