Hi I seen a hack for this in the registry before, but I cannot find it now!

Every game that I open up spends about 20 seconds at the loading screens, I guess that's retrieving save data in the cloud. It's a waste of time and I don't need solitare saves stored in the cloud for other PCs. Starting these games in W7 is rocket fast instead.

I did Google this and checked the FAQs here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2048548

Probably this,

http://www.howtogeek.com/167058/how-to-disable-skydrive-integration-in-windows-8.1

Of course if you are not using Metro apps, using a local account disables Skydrive and all Metro stuff. For those interested in only "legacy" Windows--raises hands--it's a simpler world than having to deal with new MS-created complications.

Heh, I learned something new about 8.1 while at above page, that disk encryption is enabled by default for new PCs that have Connected Standby. Since only Atom devices thus far have CS, I never ran into this issue. Good to know if I ever pick up a Bay Trail toy.

http://www.howtogeek.com/173592/win...drives-by-default-everything-you-need-to-know
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Huh. I wonder if you can still use manage-bde.exe to tweak (or suspend) the encryption. The default configuration (TPM protector and recovery key protector only) isn't really all that strong. TPM+Pin is much stronger, for example, or you can go full multi-factor and require a flashdrive with a key on it, too.

Anybody with RT 8.1 want to test this? Try just suspending it first:

Open Command Prompt or PowerShell as Administrator.

Run the command (without quotes) "manage-bde -protectors -disable C:"

On RT 8.0 (or on any other BitLocker-capable version of Windows going back to Vista), that puts BitLocker in "suspended" state (writes a plain-text key to the disk, which can be used to decrypt the actual encryption key). Incidentally, this is handy if you need to tweak something in the boot process (which will normally upset the TPM) without needing to either enter your recovery key or decrypt-and-re-encrypt the drive.

To the OP: do you have any actual reason whatsoever to believe that this is the cause of the problem? For example, have you observed any network traffic during this time? If you start the game without being connected to the Internet, does it start faster?

From Microsoft, on the subject of roaming storage:

which strongly implies that roaming data will not delay app startup.

In any case, I believe you can turn it off (system-wide) if you want to. Settings charm -> Change PC settings -> Sync your settings -> App settings. (Note: this is from 8.0, 8.1 may be different.)
[Windows 8 General] SharpnShiny:
Thanks for the feedback.

I'm currently using a local account yep.

As for delays, yes, when I used a MS account in the past, login would take about 10 seconds - after clicking enter when the password was filled in. I definitely did edit something once before that eliminated having to wander around several loading screens. It was either in the registry or group policy, it was something that I disabled...I went on a disable-spree (after creating restore point) for cloud sync and everything was faster. That was on 8.0 with a MS account. I'm using 8.1 with a local account and the only annoyance with this is games. It's not a major issue of course, but 20+ seconds for solitare/mahjong is awful.

I just tried opening games with flight mode on and it took less than 10 seconds. If you have 50MB broadband or better, that's great, I bet it doesn't lag but I don't. :(
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
The problem likely lies with the games you installed. The downside to net-access ubiquity is that it's now the norm for apps to "phone home." But it wasn't too long ago that "phone-home" software was considered spyware. Then, it behooves you to seek out games a few years older, which should obviate the phone-home tendency. For the common casual games for Windows, it shouldn't be hard to find.

An alternative to switching off wifi is to exclude said games from net access from the Windows firewall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayinc11:
After picking up an i717 for wifey from ebay I proceeded to root, and install CM10. Well I then flashed UCLF6 Modem but it proved more trouble-no connection, weak signals if any, rebooting. I tried a few more from this list but with the same issues.

UCLF5 Modem Download

UCLE2 Modem Download

UCLC5 Modem Download

UCLD3 Modem Download

I decided to re-flash the original back UCMD3 but save for reboots the phone works but with a weak connection. It's quite a pain to converse cos calls quality is just poor. Finally I just hooked it up to kies and it has stock 4.1.2 with UCMD3 modem. But the calls are steal weak. I have the same i717 phone with stock 4.0.4 with UCMB4 modem. It has the same weak signal. We are on a Tmobile MVNO solavei. I think Tmo signals near my house are kinda weak that's what I am left to think.

MY QUESTIONS:

-Do stock roms come with modem? I am just wondering if I have the correct modem on this phone since I had flashed a bunch them prior to STOCK restore.

-Is there anything I can do to improve the signals, quality of calls?

-I understand the UCLF6 modem is the latest and greatest. Is it recommended for for stock 4.1.2? I haven't tried it on the current setup, due to to time constraints. What do you guys have? Both phones are rooted.

-Which is the best modem for this unit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
Yes stock rom updates include a modem. If you forget what modem you flashed, look at the about device screen. You even posted a picture of it. "Baseband version" means modem version.

Some galaxy notes had usb troubles, so people had to replace the usb board. This reduced cell signal for some reason. Maybe yours has been replaced. I never found a way to make mine better again.

I'm pretty sure the ucmd3 was the latest modem for the i717. I remember some people flashing a tmobile rom that included a better modem. You might want to search for that rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mr_Edwards:
I had actually had this problem also, its not the modem itself but the charge port/flex cable that you replaced I went through almost four or five before I found out that the cheaper the part the more issues you have I LITERALLY had little to no signal so I purchased another bit more expensive one and it fixed the problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayinc11:
Holy smokes! I thought this phone was a piece of cr@p already. I have two ports just arrived. I will replace this weekend and update.

Cannot slide-unlock in landscape mode

I have not been able to slide-unlock in landscape mode if I check Allow rotation in Theme style. I do not believe this is a bug in the ROM since my wife's Galaxy Nexus is running the same ROM and slide-unlock works on her phone. I was wondering if there is some other setting I may have enabled that could be causing this behavior on my Galaxy Nexus?

Not good. It shows 4g but is orange and I have no data. Last 2 builds have done this. Somehow I love this rom so much I can't flash away from it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinfolk248:
1) my data did go out when i left home (wifi) and i couldnt get it back but then i noticed that mobile networks was toggled off somehow and that did the trick and im good to go on the data aspect...

2) stock kernel is okay, performance/speed is ok but for it to be burning thru the battery that fast it should be better tho... IMO

Well this may explain a few things. A friend of mine sent me this SS via hangouts. I'm not sure if any of you know who this is but Santod from the old Thunderbolt forums and now the HTC One forums discovered this when he built the new CM build.

They're including APN settings for different countries. More than likely this is the problem and why the rest of us notice better results on AOSP based Roms. So its not just this ROM or this devs fault... I blame CM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ponchohiggins:

If you value more ram over 1080p camera then I suggest DirtyV RSR. IMO there's nor much reason for 1080P on these cameras anyway

Up until last week my wife was using the default kernel, but had to switch her, because of screen lockups, to the kernel that can not be mentioned on XDA.

Have also been dirty flashing once the ROM had been initially clean installed.

My results with the 4/28 build.

ROM: CM Remix 4/28

Kernel: DirtyV-RSR

Radio: 4.1.1 (JRO03O)

MMS is super snappy. Data hand off is perfect. Speed and stability are amazing. I have yet to find a glitch or bug anywhere in this ROM.

Overall very satisfied with this ROM.

First try of this ROM and its amazing. Blows everything else out the water. Only thing is I have to run the GSM/CDMA auto prl in the secret settings to get 4g. Figured it out after trying the LTE dropdown button. Also can't use the battery saver stuff because it will switch back to LTE. Is there a fix for that? The last ROM I was on had the same issue. No big deal just curious. And again this is hands down the best ROM I've used in a long time. So many features.

Don't use the LTE toggle... Use the mobile network toggle instead. Wipe and reflash. Let ROM boot, then reboot. You should have data... Use mobile network toggle if you need to turn off and on... You should not have the prl issue.
