Hi Guys

I have the JJ working well, and I have always seemed to have this problem, but the ActiveSync always just starts up by itself without being connected or requested to.

I have read a few forums on this but nothing really helped. My original thought was SPB Weather wanting to auto update, but any changes to these settings didnt help.

I have done a full hard reset today, and keeped the apps pretty straight forward, ie the SPB suite (PP, Diary, Play, Weather, GPRS), and Resco (Explorer, Audio, Radio, Photo). Switched to MSVC rather than the original phone dialler. The rest is pretty much as it has come.

I havent done any registry hacks yet as I thought I would test a clean run on this to see how it goes.

I have read that ActiveSync is a big drain on the memory, and never likes to give all the memory back from what it needs when starting up, so every time I kill it in running programs, it comes back. I get about 600kb every time I kill it, but I am sure it takes more than that to run and start it.

Anyway, any ideas as to what might be causing it to startup by iteslf would be great. Further ideas on how to stop it from automatically starting would be wonderful.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
activesync autostart

doesnt anybody have any comments or feedback as to their experiences with activesync auto starting of it own accord? it constantly needs to be shut down from running programs.

Does it happen to you? does it not happen to you? do you know what the cause is? do you know how to fix it?

anybody?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Simon, I have no major issues with activesync running.

Are you saying that AS is popping up even from hard reset?

Ensure that you're not running an RSS reader etc, I use Newsbreak and it loves to try to connect up to the 'net.

It seems that it is likely to be the weather, or possibly gprs prog, that is requesting access to a net connection. Try disabling the weather app completely. I use weather panel, and it took some arm twisting to get it to stop automatically seeking out a net connection.

Worst case, set up a spoof or dummy network connection that is unable to connect to the net. Set this as your default connection when you're offline, and then any progs trying to access the net will be thwarted. This solution at least works perfectly for me with Newsbreak for reading the news "offline".

I had the same problem with my JJ and I found a setting ("Schedule") in AS on the JJ that allowed me to set the syn to "Manual". Funny, I've not this problem on my Exec.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zohaer21:
hi

this happens as AS is by default required to connect to server automatically at a given interval

inorder to get rid of this...go into AS and create a fake server (put any values) then after creating it..reclick options and go into schedule and change the settings to manual sync and check the roam box aswell

tht shod take care of it
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
Thanks zohaer21 and jah

I will let you know how it goes, it was more frustrating than anything, not sure if it is the cause of my memory drain. I knew of sync manually option somewhere from my 2003 days, but since I didnt setup a sync with a server connection, the ability to set a schedule was always greyed out.

I'll see how long it takes, if at all before it pops up again.

Cheers

Simon

Alright, so i have ARHD on the most recent 22.0 i think.. Can't recall exactly but that shouldn't be the issue anyway. Today, out of the blue, all three of my USB ports, two 2.0 one 3.0, are giving me a Device has Malfunctioned error, and not pulling up the internal storage in My computer as usual. It is allowing charge, from what i can tell, and it is working with the same cord/ports on a different computer, so i do not think its hardware.

Now i have uninstalled/reinstalled HTC sync manager, multiple times, I've uninstalled the usb drivers in the Device manager, and reboots, multiple times, and i've tested other USB equipment on the ports, works fine. Does anyone have any further suggestions on how to get my computer to recognize my HTC one properly?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Angenit:
I fixed the Sticky power button in a very simple way. It seems to work fine so far, in summary is to separate the motherboard button from the bezel button (the inside part of the button we normally see) I will leave the instructions, pictures and a video.

I'm not responsible if you are not careful when doing the following instructions

PROCEDURE

1.- Take out the battery cover.

2.- Take out all the 6 screws and keep them.

3.- Take out the battery, Sim card and micro SD card.

4.- With a tool like in the video remove the back housing really carefully.

5.- You will see the motherboard. Check the part where the button is. See that the motherboard button is really small and the bezel (out) button is longer,

6.- Take a piece of cardboard (better a little long piece) and put it next to the motherboard button. So the cardboard separates the bezel button without interfering with the motherboard one.

- You can use a bigger piece if you want more security, but the button will be harder to press.

- One side is enough (above or below) but you can put both sides (it will be harder to press).

- You can stick it using tape to avoid it to loose its position.

7.- Put the housing back with the battery and test the phone.

8.- If everything is okay you can put the Sim, micro sd and the screws back.

9.- Enjoy.

Note: This is experimental but the phone has been good for two weeks so far.

Note 2: maybe you can use more resistant materials, but I only tried with cardboard and it works fine.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
First time forum user looking for some answers and a bit of help so thanks in advance for anything you can provide!

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from WIND Mobile in Canada. The model number was SM-N900W8. It seems although carriers know the device has the required bands, they limit listing them on their website if they do not support them and go one step further by having Samsung block the bands through some type of software cripple.

My concern is I use WIND Mobile when local and Telus Mobility when in fringe areas which WIND Mobile does not cover. Prior to buying this device from WIND outright, I confirmed with Samsung live chat support this specific model from WIND will support LTE on Telus. I was told I must first activate the device on WIND and they once I unlock the device, I can configure the Telus APN settings for use on the Telus network. When I do this, I get a max speed of 3G and in the network connections, it does not show: LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) but instead, the 3 original modes which you can select when on WIND Mobile: WCDMA/GSM (auto connect), WCDMA only and GSM only.

It seems as if the unlock and APN settings are the first 2 parts but in order for LTE to work, you must disable the cripple which Samsung has implemented for it's distribution to WIND Mobile since they do not support that frequency or radio band. My concern is it looks as if this must be done through a root or flash and I hear about phones getting bricked. I paid a lot of money for the device and cannot afford to damage it so do not know what options I have.

If I do enable LTE through a flash and then get an OTA Samsung update, will this remove the flash? How must I go about getting LTE enabled permanently without issue or is this not possible? Thank you for the help!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Hi fellow Windman :)

just follow this easy guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471340

everything is self explanatory, including LTE
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
Thank you so much. I will follow this guide word for word but is there any risk of bricking my phone like I have read so much about? The last thing I want to do is mess something up and have a paperweight.

If I root the device as suggested and receive an OTA notification from Samsung to update the software, will this lock everything again and make me go through the procedure all over again or will it be permanently enabled? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
So, I rooted the device and assume it was successful since I have the SU (Super User) App installed. I ran the TWRP file which I assume is the OS which enables all the crippling Samsung initially implemented when releasing this phone to WIND Mobile but the problem still stands. I have entered all the correct APN settings for Telus yet it still only provides a 3G connection. Have I done something wrong and can any of you gurus familiar with rooting and updating a custom OS provide some insight. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
I think I'm worse than a noob. At least they can figure this stuff out! I followed the quick root steps and the twrp steps but was I supposed to do something else to enable LTE? The phone is definitely rooted and has the SU App installed. TWRP just seems like a program which allows installation of a custom ROM directly from the device but I may be wrong. My concern is the TWRP file I downloaded looks as if it's a tar file which the phone loads allowing HSPA and LTE capability. If so, it did not work on my WIND device. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girn:
You can't get the OTA if you have custom recovery installed. I.e. TWRP or CWM. You gotta wait for custom roms. I don't know about the lte thing
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asaqwert:
yea you're totally wrong here man... not sure how to enable lte capability, but wind's network is hspa+ already so that's enabled.

i do know you have to unlock it, likely with a sim unlock code or getting someone to unlock it, but after that, the theory is, that it should work.....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
WIND is 4G and I have unlocked the device already. I am using a Telus SIM card and have correctly entered the Telus APN settings for LTE but it does not show LTE as a network mode which I can select. Seems to me Samsung has crippled this band since WIND does not support it. Since I have rooted the device, which I probably didn't need to do, I was hoping to find a flash which will permanently enable the LTE so it will function on Telus.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
To use Telus LTE you need to switch to the Telus SIM card

then it should read the Telus APN from it, if not you can enter the Telus LTE APN and it should use it
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
I have done this already. The steps followed to date are as follows:

Purchased my WIND Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (model: SM-N900W8)

Unlocked the device through cellunlocker.net for 32.99 USD

Placed my Telus SIM into the device and it read the details. I was able to call and text without issue but did not have data connectivity. Contacted Telus and received the Telus LTE APN details and entered this information. Unfortunately, the network mode only shows 3 options: WCDMA/GSM (auto-connect), WCDMA only and GSM only.

There should be a fourth option for LTE capability but this is not displaying. I rooted my device and followed the TWRP step thinking this TWRP file was the rom to enable the LTE capability which seems to be locked but this is not the case. I am way off here but know it's probably something simple which I am missing!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes, the 4th option for the LTE needs to flash another modem

i got it working here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46259468&postcount=39

find any of the Note 3 threads with flash-able modems, and flash the one from Puerto Rico that enables the LTE
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
To confirm your above statement, am I going to the following page and downloading the firmware for Puerto Rico?

http://www.samsungis.com/Firmwares/SM-N900W8.html

or must I locate a thread to download just modem firmware and then follow the same ODIN instructions as I did with the other files?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
you only need the modem, you don't need to flash an entire ROM.

there was a reference topic with a list of downloads for all different modems for the Note 3 in the General section of this Note 3 portion of the forum. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475714

they are still uploading all the different models, you you might want to wait a bit, or you can extract it on your own, if you know how to do that from an odin .tar file.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
Following the link you provided, it indicates the modem for model SM-N900W8 is "coming soon..." so it does not look like a modem is available for my model at this time. I tried looking for the Puerto Rico modem flash which you used but I do not see reference to it.

I was going to install the SM-N900W8 ROM for telus which would have the modem but as research indicates, if you install the wrong carrier ROM, you brick your device. I may have misinterpreted this but the last thing I wish to do is brick my device and have an expensive paper-weight in the end. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
the Puerto Rico ROM is safe to flash

actually anything that is for the SM-N900W8 are safe to flash
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asaqwert:
So I just got my phone unlocked with cellunlocker.net code, threw in a bell SIM and rebooted etc, it worked and was pretty quick but nothing too incredible. Was getting top download speeds of about 750kb/s (or 6mbps) whereas on wind I'd get about half that tops in my current location. My question here is, the phone said 3g....to me that seems way too fast for 3g but not nearly right for lte and I also couldn't see lte as an option for the bands. I assume that's cuz I still had the wind modem on the phone? Even when I went into the *#2263# screen to enable lte it still didn't work....

Any ideas? Should I flash the Puerto Rico Rom? Does it still work on wind bit just also let you use the lte radios when the correct SIM is in?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreakPrism:
How long did it take to get your unlock code with cellunlocker.net? Which device did you pick in the dropdown?

I got a quote for 14.99 but guessing you have to pay more for a secondary search later?

Hi did you manage to enable the LTE bands on your phone. I am on the same boat, have a WIND note 3 and I would like to do the same.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
I'm really new to this but hopefully this will clarify some info regarding WIND and please correct me should I be wrong. There are two things when working with a phone. Customization to the OS and proper data connection. If you wish to tweak your device, push it to the limits and customize your OS settings, you can root your device.

If you wish to just enable LTE so you can use it on an LTE capable network like Telus, Bell or Rogers in Canada, you must flash the proper modem file to enable LTE. As I understand, the Puerto Rico Modem Flash will allow you to enable LTE data on the WIND Mobile variant of the Note 3. You can get the Puerto Rico Modem Flash from Post #27 by AllGamer at the following link:

I think this is safe but I'm waiting for clarification from AllGamer regarding what is meant by their statement "NOT for flashing!". Once confirmed, I'll update this post but if this works, I feel they should be thanked by clicking on the thank you button and a donation should be made for what you feel this information is worth and obviously, what you can afford. Without individuals like this, we would be at a stand still for modifications!

THANK YOU ALLGAMER FOR YOUR UNSELFISH DEMEANOR ON THE FORUM!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidos:
Thank you for your reply. I am not sure why everything sounds so complicated.

I was able to flash a small file to my S4 (rogers) to enable the WIND bands. The phone did not need to be rooted, ODIN worked like a charm and my S4 became pentaband :)

This ordeal with the note 3 is not as straight forward. I have been following all your post but I see that you have not received any straight forward answers to your questions. I am not an expert when it comes to rooting or flashing so I would love a simple way of doing this.

Thank you again, lets hope that we will find an easy way to do this :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
It's not as straight forward since the device is new on the market and the developers on here need time to get everything updated to work correctly. A modem (.bin) file has been provided by AllGamer but this needs to be packaged so it can be flashed correctly onto the device. This is in the works but like anything, takes time.

As I understand, to enable LTE on the model for WIND, we must root the device following the excellent instructions provided by chainfire then install TWRP onto the device. Once this is complete, we can flash the Puerto Rico ROM which will enable the LTE settings for other carriers.

Hi, I am new to this as well but would like to participate in this discussion. :)

I am currently using an unlocked T-Mobile Note 3 (SM-N900T) /w factory firmware/ROM. The stock modem on the tmo note 3 does support LTE on Rogers -- a carrier that uses the same lte band(s) as AT&T -- i.e., LTE/WCDMA/GSM is the selected option in "Network Mode". Though, I did find one problem. The lte down speed seems normal (50+Mbps) but the up speed is just embarrassing, hovering at 2-3Mbps. If anyone has heard reports of, or solutions to, this issue, please let me know as it will save me a couple hours searching and posting a new thread on this.

As for the extracted modem (.bin) file, my question is, can't you just write that .bin back to the appropriate partition on your (target) device using a tool such as 'dd'?
