I did have the same issue and very well might still be there. I downloaded wakelock detector from the market and it turned out to be Google maps network location service. Turned off in settings, use just gps now. I'll turn location back on today and report back to see if it's still there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jshealton:
I have 2 questions. First, what program would you guys recommend to either uc or oc? Also, I used to use LBE Privacy Guard to block apps that wanted to send and receive text or Web traffic that I did not want doing that. The problem is I install it on this ROM and after giving it superuser permissions it locks the phone up. No response to any button presses. Since LBE starts on boot, only a battery pull and factory reset gets the phone operational again. What could this be and what can I do to help find the culprit?

Keep your Note 2 and use it for other things.

Wow. LBE has not been supported since the introduction of Jelly Bean AND the developer/s admitted to that. That's an old issue and your symptoms are exactly, to the T, what's suppose to happen. I was a huge fan of LBE Privacy Guard. Doing a format and wipe is the best recommendation at this point. LBE is developed in something like Chinese or Korean and the only LBE "update" that supported Jelly Bean had remained in their native tongue. I once found a forum where one person committed to translating as much of it as possible into English, but there were still some wonky spots here and there with the language.

Now I use avast! Mobile Security, which can be used on non-rooted phones but also has root-exclusive features such as Firewall to do exactly what LBE did. I still love LBE Privacy Guard.

Hopefully this helps.

Note 2 is better. Not into the S4. You're crazy for selling this, though. But I hooked you up and posted your link on my Facebook to see who may want to buy this off of you. I know a church pastor who just moved here to help pastor a church & he is looking to get out of Sprint. I sold him on T-Mobile. He be eyeballing my phone hard, but he's also trying to find a budget balance. Let's see what he says on Facebook.

I still think you lost your mind. lol.....in a nice polite way.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] e-motion:
Personally I prefer to use an in-out firewall to monitor apps' communication attempts. Privacy advocate here too but I found out it is easier to keep track of my own access permission, because otherwise I found a lot of apps just no longer run or do some wonky stuff when blocking permissions. Didn't look into LBE so it could just be a firewall too but obviously you already know it's causing issues with the rom you're running.

If you're truly concerned about privacy, I wouldn't even bother with said self-proclaimed permissions, as you already know that trust should be only skin deep ;)

USB Mount

I do apologize if this has already been mentioned. I'm having difficulty getting my Note 2 to mount in Windows Explorer in my laptop ever since I jumped onto Tweaked 2.3. I've been getting around it by pulling out the SD card, but I'd like to see what I can do to get it working.

In the dropdown notification bar...I clicked on the USB options, to which MTP and PTP are two available options. Naturally, MTP is selected. So I decided to try PTP (Camera). Windows began looking for drivers and what I found is attached here. Only MTP fails.

--Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device - Ready to use

--MTP USB Device - FAILED

--Samsung Android ADB Interface - Ready to use

Is MTP broken in Tweaked 2.3?

-----------------

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that when I use the "SGS3 Easy UMS" application to see my SD card as a "Removable Drive" (to browse it like a thumb drive) - my phone works fine. I see the SD card fine. ONLY when using MTP does it crap out. So, USB - in and of itself - works, I believe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Thanks for this.

And, for those who want Pandora on their **desktop** with unlimited skips, pause music, scrub rewind, scrub forward, etc....I always have gone here. I get the desktop client and I can skip thumbs-up/down as much as I want.

Tip: don't focus too much on thumbs up'ing/down'ing to customize your stations. "seeding" is much more powerful and can only be done on Pandora's website.

Okay, back to Tweaked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
This seems more related to the kernel than anything else - are you using a different kernel at all? Does the same issue occur if you use the stock kernel?

As far as the fixes are concerned - I haven't posted those yet. I'm debating on the best approach still...

EDIT: I'm not positive but xda may get cranky posting hacked apks that get you services you normally need to pay for - I could be wrong, but giving a heads up just in case :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Thank you, kind Sir.

I experienced this issue with Stock kernel. Then.....I decided to flash Bullet kernel to see if that would fix it. Bullet for everything else works fine - but the MTP issue still remains. I only use exFAT compatible kernels.

A side note: I always test my ROM installations using stock kernel first for a couple days or more. It was just today that I flashed Bullet to see if I can blame Stock kernel for being the culprit. I can tell you that my results remains the same and has therefore got me to wondering if MTP is malfunctioning on its own separate from kernels.

MTP refuses to activate. But USB does work when switching to UMS and lets me see my SD card as a thumb drive.

Different kernels aren't fixing it for me.

You may join me now in scratching our heads and go, "Hhhmmmmmmm...."

lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hhhmmmmmmm.... *scratch scratch*

Nothing between 2.2 and 2.3 would elicit such a change, and like I said most of the time a kernel switch makes it better (though I do remember someone saying they had to odin back all the way to complete stock and reflash, then it worked). I have never had the lack of mtp connecting issue for any sort of long-term scenario - it does happen on occasion but a simple make-sure-the-cord-is-all-the-way-in-the-phone check or just unplugging and replugging always made it work. Some people reported this a while ago - is anyone else still having (or now having) this problem?

Also - I like your testing policy - thorough as always :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
lol...where do I send the flowers too?? lol

Thank you, kind Sir.

If anyone else can chime in on this, please do. I did see the "Odin" post by the person who said they had do go through that route. Since I use Titanium Backup Pro to quickly restore my environment, I have no problem going stock. In fact, I never EVER dirty flash. I always do a bleach-clean wipe. =)

I will eventually have to try ODIN'ing stock if this issue is evasive enough that no one really knows.

As always, quite the gentleman. Thank you!

com.sec.android.app.flashbarservice Force Close FIX. 100% Permanent.

I've had much experience with issues with getting the force close with the message "com.sec.android.app.flashbarservice". I've primarily have encountered this while using xposed framework and some apps. The flashbarservice is responsible for MultiWindow. Here is a fix I've been blessed to come across that eliminates this force close 100% entirely.

I've attached 7 screenshots with embedded text to make this learning experience visual and help it to stick in your head and reduce the learning curve.

This requires Titanium Backup Pro, as it can fix these errors in addition to merely backing up your apps. Titanium Backup Pro is a priceless jewel. If you're rooting and flashing, please purchase this app --- especially if you want to fix system force closes.

This post is part 1 and will be continued in the subsequent post due to me not being able to post all the screenshots here. The remaining 3 will follow right after.

Have you changed anything on your laptop? I work in IT and have personally witnessed an issue where uninstalling an antivirus program preventing PTP/MTP connections. Apparently, the AV utilized a plug and play filter that was still referenced in the registry after uninstallation. When I uninstalled the av it uninstalled its filter but when ptp/mtp devices were connected the pc was still trying to pass the traffic through the filter and the connection would fail since the filter was no longer present. Once I removed the bad registry entry everything worked fine. It took a while to figure this out because usb mass storage devices were still working with the bad entry in place.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Excellent post! Very informative. Thank you for that.

I work in IT as well, Tier 3 Technical Analyst; always a pleasure to meet another brother in arms.

To answer the question - Nope, I haven't changed anything on my laptop. Also, my anti-virus USB Plug 'n Play filter had been disabled, so no issues there. Although, that registry thing was a pretty sneaky discovery. Good job on that. That's why I only uninstall programs using "Revo Uninstaller"......it first scans for every registry and dll file associated with the application prior to uninstalling. Then after uninstalling it goes obliterating all those dll's, reg entries, etc. But I have not uninstalled my anti-virus.

On top of that, if I restored one of my other nandroids that has another ROM in it....MTP works fine.

I still will try to do a fresh install after ODIN'ing Stock ROM first, as this method was reported by another user on here earlier that this fixed this issue for him.

Thank you so much for answering. =)

If you have any other ideas....please let me know.
