So the story goes - I'm actually really pleased with the ROM and all, but there are a few things bugging me which I can't seem to handle myself - First off, there is osmething keeping the phone awake 100% of the time, it seems to be a process called *wakelock* (something with the Calendar and al of the HTC services used by it), and there's no way for me to control it and telling it to stop the phone staying awake all the time..
Second - I can't seem to get some of my contacts to have the option to send a message to them on Whatsapp directly from the People widget (On some of them it worked flawlessly and automatically, on others it won't work at all) - Even after unlinking and re-linking the contact.. What gives!?
Thanks
Wakelock could remain on when the calendar app can't find the complete its sync. Try clearing calendar data from and Google services framework and let it sync again. Try googling what to do when calendar can't sync if this doesn't help.

Hi.
Gmail keeps updating and eating storage space without asking me first.
I don't want it, as I prefer the htc client...so how do I stop it happening, automatic updating is NOT ticked.
I'm concerned about how this happens, as it implies any application can update without my permission which would seem to be a privacy risk (although its the storage usage that concerns me most)?

Are you rooted? I have not seen gmail update but deleting it should stop it from updating.
Gmail is a push email system so when an email appears in your inbox it will be pushed to your phone. It's how Android works. Although, as you said, turning off Gmail sync should stop this...
Apologies, maybe I wasn't so clear. It's not that 'emails keep arriving' that I'm on about!
I mean the actual "Google Mail" application itself. I don't use it...I have tried it on occasion but I always come back to using the HTC Mail application because I prefer the UI and I don't need instant push email, I'm happier scheduling to recieve mail every few hours.
BUT...what I find is that every so often, the Google Mail application UPDATES itself with a new release from the Market. I don't want that to happen, and I have to "remove the updates".
Same happened with Flash for a while which kept insisting on installing a big update that I had no interest in recieving, although that seems to have disappeared from my Applications list now (and I can still use Flash fine).
I'm not rooted, the stock ROM is fine for me, I've toggled that setting that enables all apps to install directly to SD...but things like the updates to Google Mail seem to take up a load of on phone storage.
Ah right!!! Unless Google ignores things for system updates I can't comment. I have the opposite issue in that nothing updates automatically ever!!
In the market page, can you turn off "automatic updates"? I think for google mail it is on by default.
Hmm, am having this same problem. Gmail App keeps updating, dispite auto-updates (for gmail app) unchecked. Problem is I'm using email-notifier app, which only works w/ earlier version, hence I need the current gmail version to remain.
For what it's worth, this is a non-HTC phone / stock ROM. Found this thread via google search and am posting here (sorry to revive old thread) in case there is some other 'android wide' solution someone's come up with.

My Problem:
All was working fine but after some time (maybe one thing caused it) my unit began not syncing all Apps automatically. it started with Facebook, then email, then a parcel tracking App.
I now have to manually sync the App to get the new data on my phone. Automatically he does only update SOME Apps / tasks now.
For Expample, he does update 1 of my 3 pop mail accounts automatically but the other 2 are only updated when I click on update manually (settings are 30 min on all 3).
I tried delete and enter the account, Deleting the regarding App and reinstalling (e.g. facebook), Deactivate and reactivate the autosync feature, restarting between it and so on.... Nothing works but reinstalling the phone from Scratch.
I had the normal HTC Rom on my phone earlier, now using the Revolution ROM. This issue is NOT Rom related since it came up with both roms!
What might be the reason? What can I do to fix that? Is there a Cace to clear or any Sync Data that I can try to reset?
Any Idea what might cause this and how to fix?
Well , I think it's rom related.. My apps also just get synced with RCMIX Runny.. On all the other roms i won't get a sync..
But I had the same issue before with the standard HTC rom before I even rooted it, so I doubt that.
Any Idea what service is doing the sync action for all the apps? I would like to try deleting the cache of it as well as the data and see if this helps but I can't find what service does this so I can't try this solution.
Nobody able to help? Please!
edit: I just saw that I posted this in the wrong forum. If a mod wants to move it, that would be cool.
Since I got my phone a couple of months ago, the gallery app has been intermittently draining my phone some days. I would force stop it and that would stop the drain. I got fed up and did a search and found it was related to google auto synching with Picasa and some other stuff so I disabled those and left only contacts and calendar to synch on my phone/account.
Seemed to work until it started again a few days later. Gallery is once again draining my battery on some days even though I've never even opened it. Anybody else had this issue?
Google Maps and Google Music do this to me. Or did in the past. I used Titanium Backup to make a widget for both so I can disable them easily when I'm not using them.
Not so simple with gallery though. What rom are you on?
Guys, Ive seen the other posts, about this issue, and want to know a few things.
First off I am new here, and new to phone programming and general security issues on them as well. So if I jack this up, my bad.
I have a Galaxy Note 2 AT&T SGH-I317 stock (not rooted)
Its running
android 4.1.2 kernel vers 3.0.31
build JZO54K.I317UCAMC3
(before you start with check the other posts, I have tried the reset "power, home and volume button" and chose number 4 to clear all partition cache, also ran in safe mode to see if it was a downloaded app, still didn't work) I also want to know what is causing it, before I do the "applications manager reset all apps" Got a lot of custom settings and items blocked. Don't want to redo all of it.
So as of last night I was disabling some running process in the application manager. I did it by checking on them before. But, its not like I had the OFFICIAL Droid guide to disabling stuff on your Note2. That being said I take care to do it the best I can. Before I disabled each one, I cleared the cache of each one (if it was a option) and unchecked Show notifications. Force stopped them, and disabled each one.
Starting around 2pm CST the next day, my phone started to lock up, messenger will not work, phone app crashes after every call. But I was using it all morning on twitter, and instagram with no issues. And various other will not load etc. What could cause this? and is there a official list of applications for note2 with what they do and what they control.
Short list of disabled applications from last night are
Market Feedback Agent
LogsProvider
Google Play services, and Play store.
Google Partner Setup
DRM Protected Content Storage
DioDict3services (not sure about this one)
com.google.andriod.voicesearch
com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
Search Applications Provider, (found on android.forms to be ok to disabled)

Thank y'all in advanced.
