Unfortunately Easy Chart has stopped.
This is what it says when i try to open it.
Reboot the phone and try again.
Since Installing Idea sketch Im no longer able to use my S pen to copy Images or drawings. I need to uninstall it.
You may explain the problem in detail.
I have the same problem with Sam Puich
Yes. I can install anything other than the two s-note apps.
Probably the app store fails to detect your phone model correctly. In this case, you may have to visit local Samsung service center to check it.
I receive an error message: "Product does not exist in this store (4002)" when I try to download Idea Sketch or Easy Chart.
Can you install other apps from Galaxy apps? Sometimes, the error can be caused by Samsung servers.
Yes. I have the Edge. My colleague has the Note 4. He can download both apps but I get the error on the Edge. I am wondering if it is related to the phone.
It can be related to the firmware or your Samsung account or your internet connection. Can you install any other apps from Galaxy apps?
I cannot open Easy chart and idea sketch.
When I try to insert a line and/or a bar, it displays a window saying "Easy Chart has stopped." .
The same case on idea sketch.
I already tried the Clear Data from the settings then rebooting, but still not working
You may try to reboot the phone to see whether it helps.
