[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os2baba:
I'm having auto sync issues for many days now

Gmail doesn't sync in the background. Same thing with Calendar and all Google apps. I have auto-sync enabled for all accounts. Sync enabled for the gmail account. I have to manually open Gmail and sync. It's getting very annoying. I want to delete my Google account and re-add it, but can't figure out how to do it. There is no way to delete the primary Google account on stock. There is no Menu on the Google account

Edit: Found it! It's not on the Google Account page. From the Google Account screen, I had to press the Sync screen. That screen has a menu from where I could delete the account. Now let's see if it helps.

Edit2: So I deleted the Google Account, deleted the data in Gmail, all the syncs, Google Play Services etc. Shutdown the phone. Went to Google Accounts on the web and removed access for the G2 on the web. Then restarted the phone. Added my account again. No Luck. Sync still doesn't work in the background :( :(

Running unicorn right now and was wondering if anyone had Google photos apk. Loved the app because it would automatically backup your photos and videos

Google Photos undeleting my deleted pics

My Google Photos app is set to Auto Backup my pictures. The problem is, when I use the "Delete Everywhere" option, it deletes them, but then like an hour later they always come back again. Why is this happening? How do I stop it from undeleting my pics????! Please help. I tried everything, but nothing works. I don't want to turn off Auto Backup, I just want it to stop bringing back pics I'd already deleted.

Anyone have ANY idea how to fix this? If so, please respond or PM me.

Thanks,

I dont know why but I did the Stock 4.3 update via Odin. I was rooted and unlocked 4.1.2

Now I've been stuck on the samsung logo since last night (not the bootloop, just frozen)

I've tried to install older stock roms and they all succeed thru Odin. Ive tried with and without pit files. Ive looked at most of the threads and I feel like Ive tried everything...is there anything else I can do?

Thanks :*(

Welcome to the ranks of regretful upgraders. We're a sorrowful bunch, it seems.

(I also upgraded, so eager to get the latest official update that I forgot about losing my unlocked bootloader. Sigh...)

Your best bet is Verizon's software. Assuming you have the new bootloader (go into Download mode, look for the KNOX flag - if there, you have it), this won't make things any worse.

If you don't have the latest bootloader, DON'T use Verizon's software, as it will apply the latest bootloader and lock you up tight.

With that caveat, here's Verizon's software: http://www.mediafire.com/?887h2dm4d20dk43

Steps are simple:

- install the software

- boot into Download mode (Power+Home+VolDown)

- start the Verizon software

- plug your phone into your computer (wait for driver install, detection)

- click on the 'repair' option in the left column

- click on your phone in the device section

- click on repair button in the bottom right (or next, or start - I don't recall)

- wait for the OTA to download and be installed

You can obtain root, though there is some risk depending on the method you choose (privacy issues with one program).

Good luck!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] choobacca80:
sweet, ill try this as soon as i get home!

quick question about knox...mine says "knox warranty void: 0", im assuming i do have knox then?

thanks again cmputerslayer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
That is, indeed, what that means.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
Yup, you've got KNOX and the new bootloader. My condolences.

Don't try to flash other bootloader or ROMs - you'll trip the counter and get a softbrick ('Unauthorized Software' message, phone won't boot).

On the flip side, you can still get your phone back to working condition. Verizon Software to the rescue.

(Glad to help, by the way. Nice to be able to offer help!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] choobacca80:
dang i feel so helpless...

so i installed the verizon app but the app wont launch. its there in the tab next to the clock but nothing happens when i plug my phone in while download mode, argh!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
I had that happen too.

The way around it is to launch the application from the Start Menu or Desktop a second time. Then it will actually come up, instead of just having an icon in the notification center.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] choobacca80:
still no luck here, does it matter that im on 64bit? ill try some other computers i guess
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
Hmm. What comes up when you right-click on the taskbar icon next to the clock?

I have a 64-bit system as well - no issues to report. I don't think that's your problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] choobacca80:
dang noob status haha, have to wait five minutes...

check for new device software

launch assistant

options>

close

nothing happens when i click launch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
Have you rebooted your computer since you installed the software?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] choobacca80:
i did, and i just did again :)

still no action
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
Hmm.

So I just installed the software on my 64-bit system here. I didn't reboot and when I right-clicked on the taskbar icon and selected 'Launch Assistant', it did right away. When I closed that window and tried to launch from the Start Menu icon, it also opened the application.

I'm wondering if its a goofy install. Care to uninstall and try again?

In the meantime, what version of Windows are you running? If Vista or higher, there could be an administrator access prompt that was denied, which might keep the application from launching.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] choobacca80:
powers airtsom

just tried another usb port also...nothing

I apologize, but I've got to go to work for a couple hours. Hopefully uninstalling & re-installing will solve it. Post the results here! Plenty of good folks here at XDA to help

ok soo...

for sh*ts and giggles, i decided to run odin again and install stock 4.3. as usual it passed.

however i got passed the samsung logo this time and currently on verizon logo :D

just waiting now, hopefully its gets passed this!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] choobacca80:
thank you tonikjdk and computerslayer for all your help!!!

for some reason when i did odin again, it passed as usual but got passed the samsung logo. got stuck on verion logo but at least i was able to get into stock recovery and wipe everything. now im passed verizon logo and starting to use my phone again, WHOO HOO!!!!

i guess now im waiting for the unlock of the bootloader. unless there i a way to downgrade (which i dont think there is)

again, thank you!!

Hi

I have tried using several different AOSP roms (Omni, Cyanogenmod, Sentinel) but must always go back to a Samsung Rom (Ripperrom v20 or stock 4.2.1) because I always get the same problem.

You can hear the sound if you search on "Cyanogenmod Weird Unlock Sound" on youtube

It's not me who filmed this video but I have exactly the same problem.

This annoying sound is coming anytime. In both the lockscreen and when I use the I9305 for other things. In airplanemode or when i turn of all the sounds then its not coming.

.

I don´t use Titanium backup to restore any apps.

Anyone have a solution? I always do a factory reset and wipe everything.

This application ran for about 3 hours

After I ran it I drain the battery and then I charged the battery when the phone is switched off to 100% and turned it ... then I waited for the battery Ttrookon see the problem continues ... battery reached 15% and then Suddenly the battery down to 0% and the phone turns off ...

Why is this happening?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sandshrimp:
Thought I would start this thread to identify the best IM for WM5.0 or Wizard. We are looking for a universal IM that connects to MSN, ICQ, AOL and Yahoo.

I have Agile Messenger but it seems to disconnect all the time while in a call or just randomly. Not to reliable. My wife has the sidekick and the IM is flawless.

What do you use and recommend?

Agile Messenger

Pro:

Nice interface that allows you to see all contacts from different services

You can pull ICQ info so you can see who are ebhind those numbers

Separate tabs for each IM window

Alerts when an IM appears

Con:

Connection drops when on call

Connection drops randomly (should be a buffer for lost connections before it disconnects)

The application will randomly close
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Evera:
I use Agile

About the cons:

Connection drops when on call (It uses GPRS/EDGE, which is the same part of the phone that makes/takes calls. The only other way is to use text messages, and that is costly)

Connection drops randomly (should be a buffer for lost connections before it disconnects) (I've never had that happen to me)

The application will randomly close (I've never had that happen to me)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mytheory.:
Does anybody use the AIM that comes setup on the MDA? If not, why not? I don't use anything other than AIM, and the one that came with the phone seems to work fine (although I've only had it for a day now).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xer099:
From what I've heard, the OZ messenger app which comes installed on tmobile mda uses sms to chat. this means you pay for each sms message unless you have unlimitted sms plan. also, i've found it to be painfully slow.

I think agile is great, especially the WM5 alpha build. agile must disconnect during a call because GPRS/EDGE and voice cannot be used at the same time. I also had random disonnects before I updated to the qtek AKU2 rom. Now that i have updated, agile works flawlessly.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eguess:
the oz communicator does not use sms. i dont know why people start these nasty rumors. the problem i have with oz is that it constantly occupies the notification slot telling you that you ar available. the led will always blink orange when it is on. and i actually caught it disconnected with the available icon still in the notification tray.

if they fixed the notification to only when you get a new message then i would probably use it.

my agile closes its self too.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Genesis3:
OZ absolutely does use SMS. I have performed tests on this where the ONLY use that could have been made of the SMS was the OZ client, and the counter got hit for EVERY message.

That's not a "nasty rumor" - its a FACT.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Yung:
I totally agree that OZ uses SMS. I don't have unlimited SMS, so I never use it. After testing OZ, I suddenly had 45 text messages on my bill. Coincidence? NO! Like I said, I never use SMS, so it certainly was OZ that was using SMS to transmit those IMs back and forth.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tedder:
I agree, we don't use unlimited SMS either, OZ is definitely SMS-based.

The SMS charges even say "IM" or "AIM" (can't remember which now)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Webreaper:
LOL. iMov messenger is jabber-only - I don' know anyone who uses jabber. I love the quote from their site:

'The Jabber platform is expected to be the dominant instant messaging system in the near future.'

Erm, no. MSN is the dominant I'M protocol, mainly cos all windows machines come with it, most companies don't block its default port so people can use it at work, and hotmail is the most popular free mail service.

ICQ is probably in 2nd place behind MSN, with gtalk (or whatever it's called) heading up close behind at a rate of knots.

Jabber probably makes up the rear f the pack, just behind AIM and Yahoo, and I can't see that chabgibg abytime soon.....

If anything, I'd predict Google's offering to become the dominant platform - like just about everything else they've done....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] travisb:
From the imov link above:

imov itself is based on the Jabber (xmpp protocol) system, but this doesn't mean it only talks to jabber clients.

By the way, we use jabber at work for internal IM

Google Talk is actually a jabber implementation.

I've used:

OZ

Agile WM2003

IM+

Verichat

Agile WM5 beta

Agile WM5 beta 2

Basically Agile WM5 beta is the one I'd use, except if you upgrade to next version it seems to have problems. Otherwise I'd have kept Verichat except it isn't free. OZ is a joke, it uses SMS to quote Tmobile reps...didn't even work out of box for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chungeez:
yeah

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] KwaZyLiLoBoY:

where can i download the Oz IM software

i accidently deleted it off of my phone when i was running PHM regedit

i have the unlimited text messages, IM, voice, etc.

unless agile would work under that plan and not charge me for data?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] besjudge:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] masr1979:
In case some of you haven't noticed agile will start charging for their messenger, WM5 users don't need to worry yet since they won't charge for the beta and we still don't have a final WM5 release.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SorcererXIII:
. . . so in conclusion there aren't any truly "free" universal messengers, since agile will eventually require a monthly fee.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JayCeeEm:
If someone could direct me to a program which allows you to personalize your away message in AIM (like the Sidekick or hiptop does), I'd appreciate it. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but its a nice feature that I got used to having.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ghettopops:
SO what is a program that will allow you to text message another cell phone that will use only data(Medianet Unlimited) and not SMS or Text's on my Bill?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JayCeeEm:
Anyone?

I use Verichat right now, which does allow you to do this..but, once you put an away message into the memory, you can't delete it. Also, there are limited setup options in Verichat as well.

Why does it seem like a cheaper device (the SKII) was made far superior to this one, in nearly every way??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mr_skot:
I just downloaded imov for my US T-Mobile MDA and it's working GREAT over GPRS. I can talk with my friends who use Gtalk.

And even thought it uses Jabber, there are also option to connect to AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, MSN (although I haven't tried them).

Sandshrimp's IM Reviews

I have honestly been dissatisfied with all the IM+ programs out there. But here are my top 2

1. Verichat

2. Webmessenger

Both are stable and have an acceptable interface. Webmessenger is the most stable I found. I have found that all IM programs will mysteriously stop running in the background. But Webmessenger does it the least. However, Webmessenger has some crappy notification abilities. The sound notification sucks and at times someone will IM you and you get no notification at all.

Verichat to me was the best. They simply need to make a WM5 interface that takes advantage of the hard keys.

Here is what I think about other messengers:

IM+ - Interface and usability sucks

Agilemessenger - The best interface, features and usability. Love it.....but super unstable. After installing different betas twice, it slowed down my phone. Even after uninstalling it, my phone was still slow. Had to hard reset my phone both times.

iMov - I had the hardest time connecting to a Jabber server that actually supported all the different IM services. If I did connect to a server with all the services, then none or some individual IM services would connect. Pain in the butt.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cuboosh:
can someone post the OZ messenger cab file? i got unlimited txt and i need a IM client that uses txt not data. thank you :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] theorist:
i used agile, IM+, and verichat.

i paid for IM+ and i have to say... it really does have a significant edge of agile.

i really like the way agile functions with their tabbed conversations, but overall had the least bugs and most consistency with IM+. it functions very well when installed to program memory rather than storage card memory.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] boomp311:
I really like Verichat. I'm currently running version 1.41b the interface and functionality is great. I use Trillian on my laptop and i think this is the closest thing available for the PPC. Verichat currently doesn't have Google talk capability and I'm using that a lot more than I used to in the past. So hopefully a future release will have that.

Maybe the final release of the new version of Verichat will be even better.

I'm running a trial version and am considering paying for it once it expires.

Can someone post which IM clients use SMS and/or Data to send and receive messages?

I upgraded to unlimited text cause i used the OZ client on my previous samsung t809 phone. Now i have an MDA so i have the unlimited data plan and would like to drop the unlimited texts if i can help it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fuzzie:
I use the TMO tzones plan, so I need a messenger client that will let me set the proxy. Do any of these allow that? I can't find it in Agile.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markgamber:
imov Messenger allows you to supply a proxy server, including a port, so if you have the cheap tmobile data plan, you can potentially use it to IM with imov. I've used it in the past with the cheap plan and it works fine. The nice thing about it's jabber I/O is that you don't need to supply a proxy port for each IM service. You set it up for jabber and everything else works through that. The downsides are that it's tough finding a jabber service that not only carries all the IM services of interest, but does so consistently.

You get what you pay for.

Which reminds me...imov messenger isn't free so if you're not going to pay for a real internet plan, you'll need to pay for an IM app that can use a proxy. But hey, we all own fat, expensive phones, no problem, right? :lol:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] livejamie:
i paid for IM+, it's fantastic
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] malatesta:
Also, just fyi, Verichat 1.42b now support Google Talk/Chat natively.

It's a pay app but definitely my favorite. Just wish it had a today plugin like Agile...!
