CloudAgent issues - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I keep seem to having this issue where it says "Unfortunately CloudAgent has stopped".
I think it occurs after I've been in Gallery for a while, the phone then freezes for a few seconds and I get that message. It doesn't seem to be a huge problem and I've seen a few things on Google about it but haven't yet found a solution.
Is anybody else experiencing this?

c'est bien ça.
bon courage !

I've noticed this as well for no reason. Happens randomly. Gotta pull a log the next time and see what is causing it.

I definitely think it is tied to using Gallery. If I use gallery for a few mins it typically forces me out of gallery. If I use gallery for a minute I can get out of it and use some other function but shortly thereafter I get the message. After it stops I've never seen the issue happen again until I open up gallery again.

I had the same issue, every time when using the gallery. I solved the issue by:
Adding the Samsung account; Settings, Samsung account
Disabling the cloud agent, clearing the data and enabling, in the app manager.
Same for the gallery app.
I have not seen the problem after that.

I have been having the same problem. can you please tell a newby step by step how to do it in my galaxy note 2 (have been using iphone, this is my first android phone).
Where exactly is the cloud agent and all the rest, please.

This is really annoying, that's for sure. I use QuickPic anyway, better than the stock Gallery app.

I don't know what that program is, but I never had a problem with it. However I finally rooted and it was amongst the bloat that I froze. Phone has been working great

create a samsung account:
go to application manager:
swipe to where it says "all" processes, and find cloudagent and gallery:
disable, clear data, re-enable for both the gallery app and the cloudagent app:

I even don't find google music option in Accounts & Sync settings.
The Google+ link no longer works.
Here is a few mirrors.
When you initially start up the music app it asks for permission to presumably connect with google servers and sync your music, but it didn't work. And like a few others said, there are no options to sync anything in the menu.
Music app works fine for me, though it never asked me for permission for anything. All my cloud based music played though. Google+ is hung up at Signing in...
Not working at all for me. I uninstalled all previous versions of google music, and I try running the new apk everything looks good but says "application not installed". Running 2.3.6 any ideas folks?

Which steps did you follow when you installed the new version?

Music 4.0 needs to be push to system/app to get sync option back on menu
Also need to remove old version
I deleted market Music, installed new version, wiped data on applications menu then new music worked fine, synced everything.
Same with Google+, uninstalled current, installed new, didn't need to clear data/cache for it, and signed into the new app, works great.

This did not work for me at all. Didn't even recognize that I pushed it to system/app
Going back to the old one I guess
Edit: now I can't figure out how to remove it from /system. I did searches in supermanager for it, rebooted, tried to reinstall the market app; all that said was package file signed incorrectly. So basically it's a big mess now.
I would recommend NOT, NOT pushing this to system/app
Also, for Google Plus if you push it int System/App it'll work.

yeah, that is a known issue from where it was originally pulled from.
also, my camera shortcut doesn't seem to work.
and, wasn't sure if this was only a HTC first thing or what, but i dont get a pop up notification (not the chat head things) for any notifications like Gmail or calendar. I remember seeing that in the presser, but think it might be a facebook home optimized device exclusive thing.
working pretty good on my phone. I am impressed with facebook's implementation here though.
if i didn't absolutely Despise facebook, i would probably use it. if there was a G+ home, i would probably be all over it.

yes and no. if you try opening an app with password/pattern lock, it will prompt you to put it in. but someone can see all your stuff without doing anything.
hopefully this will be worked out in the final version.
also, my feed stopped showing up for some reason. rebooted and still not working. has my face and the time, but no feed is showing in the back.

maybe.....also, i uninstalled FB home app, and started using Nova again, and once in a while the FB home will pop up again....no feed or anything, but my face shows up, and i am able to access apps from within the FB home app. Very weird and screwey.
I like how the OP posting about a Facebook leak is using Tom's profile picture from MySpace as an avatar, lol.
Downloading now, but from the looks of it, it doesn't work anymore? Also can I install just the Facebook apk? No home launcher,etc?
yes, the FB app will work fine.
but looks like they killed the FB home feed functionality. TechCrunch reported on it. not surprising i guess.
I was still able to use the home screen and shortcuts and stuff, but no fee was in the background or anything...just a black screen.
OK never mind then. I'll just wait. Looks like it's going to available from Google play on the 12th.

I hope its an older build. It's smooth, but doesn't feel like it will be ready in 4 days. I don't think it was ever made to support the Gnex, only a couple of "supported" devices.

Anyone having issues with video calls?
I followed the titanium backup method to install the app and now video calls go through both Hangouts AND Google+ app as well.

@gizmo9002 It seems that the video calls can only go through on the WiFi and not over cellular right now... Try using it over WiFi to confirm.

So there is no way to see which contacts are online using this right?
If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.

Strangely, no contacts show in my G+ hangouts sidebar either. Maybe it isnt implemented in my country or something. Because I removed the talk app from system and downloaded hangouts....

Mine comes and goes. If I log off hangouts and close g+ and wait a couple minutes usually the contacts show up after I go back into it.

Well its just been a day it rolled out. Hopefully all this will get ironed out eventually. Till then, i'm back to talk
I like it but i am stressing because I don't know when persons are online or not
Sent from my Nexus Prime
It doesn't show status messages, status, nor does it allow you to set either one. This is a terrible step back from Google Talk. Not to mention it forcibly lumps all of your Google+ contacts in with your GTalk contacts.
That doesn't help me. I don't talk to those people. I use GTalk to talk to a select few people who have limited SMS per month and one person who uses a tablet with mobile data and a dumbphone.
Google really dropped the ball with this pile of junk app. The new iteration of the Music app isn't any better. They've been cocking everything up since the horrid 4.2 lockscreen abomination.

remove "group messaging" warning?

Is there a way to remove this warning about "group conversations being sent as multimedia messages'? Like, i get it, you don't need to warn me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I use group conversations frequently. In fact, I'd say half of my text conversations are part of groups. I've had the phone for a little while now. I think its safe to say that I don't need this little pop up anymore. is there anyway to remove it completely?
THANKS!

Yours is showing the same configuration as mine. Did you change anything in settings at all?
I use Hangouts and I haven't seen any group conversation issues.
Let me try stock messages and see if I get some issues.
Edit: just tested group messaging to 4 people and did not get a pop-up at all.
Are you with AT&T carrier? Did you change any settings relating to texting or MMS? Can you try Hangouts and send a group message and see if anything pops up?
Yeah, I'm with ATT. Didn't change any settings. I just got the phone about a week ago.
Will try Hangouts ...

Mine does the exact same. I only like samsung messages over hangouts because you can send diff types of things. Hangouts only let's you send pic and location

The reason I ask to try Hangouts is because it's a different app and it would allow me to know if the same problem persist on that app too. If it does then we can try other solutions to fix the problem.

Click to collapse
I'm on att and other apps don't do it. Samsung messages is the stock messaging app built into the note 4
One more thing before we try these solutions...
Are you both on 5.0.1 Lollipop or 4.4.4 Kitkat?
What version of Messages are you both on? Mine says version 1.0.0.
Here's some solutions...
1st solution:
In Messages app go to settings and click on the 3 dots at the top right corner of the app. You'll see Restore default settings. Click that and then exit the app. Go back in and try to see if that popup persist.
If it does persist then let's try this...
You have a choice of losing all your conversations or not. If you don't care about losing it then skip the backup steps.
2nd solution:
Go to the Play Store and download an app called My Backup. There is a Pro version if you want to buy it. I have the Pro version and have used it for 3 years now.
In My Backup click New Backup. Then click Data. Then click Local. Check the boxes for SMS and MMS then click Ok. Then you'll see another box asking if you want to rename the backup. You can rename it or use what it has shown as the date of the backup. Click ok. This will save all your conversations.
Once it is done go to the phones Settings. Click on the Application tab then click on Application manager. Swipe to ALL. Scroll down to Messages. Clear the cache and data and then Force Stop the app.
Exit out of the settings and open up Messages app. Make it your default app then do a group text test. See if the problem persist again or not. If it doesn't then great. You can go back to My Backup app and click on My Backups. Click on Data. Then Local and restore your conversations.
If the problem persist then report back and we'll try something else.
I am on stock 4.4.4 Kitkat. The messaging app is the stock "Messages" that comes on the phone. It shows Version 4.4.4-N910, which is the same code for the Samsung Note4.
When i go into the Message app, click on the settings 3-dots, are restore to default, i STILL get that little popup. It remains. I have even rebooted the phone, and it remains. using Hangouts does NOT have any popup warning.

It doesn't have any identifying information so I don't know what's causing this. I've try a few adware/malware apps that aren't telling me anything.
Can anyone help?
This is what I see when I press the setting icon
Have you installed any apps recently? I'd start there. It probably asked for some permissions, such as notification access, so if you see anything unusual in there that could be it.

Its your keyboard-app. I bet you are using TouchPal.
It was the same for me. Touchpal is one of the greatest keyboard-apps IMHO, but lately they changed in the wrong direction with unwanted ads like 'Daily Summary' or 'Charging Lock Screen' or 'AppLock'.
I uninstalled it because of that.
Or the ES File Explorer app that recently admitted to presenting Ads in the lock screen.

This is exactly what it is. You can disable this from within this app.

I'm not entirely sure if this is the right section to post this but I'm having something weird happen when I am charging my Nexus 5x.
When I press my power button while the phone is charging I see this. When I click the setting icon in top right I'm given the option to turn it off but I would rather just remove it completely. It doesn't have any identifying information so I don't know what's causing this. I've try a few adware/malware apps that aren't telling me anything.
Can anyone help?

You must have photo editor pro installed. I had the same issue and read up on it and someone mentioned that they isolated the cause and uninstalled that app and it got rid of that adware lock screen.
It worked for me. Try it.

Yea. This was it. I forgot to update the thread
There was an article at AP a week ago about that
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...sion-of-lock-screen-adware-in-the-play-store/
There is a link to a spreadsheet in the article that contains list of apps that add this adware to your lockscreen without asking...

Just curious because I haven't read up on what apps caused this annoying problem but who kept the photo editor app installed?
I liked that app and it really sucks t nuts that I had to uninstall it.
If I remember correctly, there was an option to simply turn off that lock screen adware, right?
But mainly, who kept the app(s) causing this issue? It'd be nice to know if anyone did and if this was a serious issue (which I doubt) or should i have read this entire thread plus the article before posting this?

Try Snapseed, Google acquired it because it was considered the best free photo editing app.
No point using an app that has that lock screen adware. They deserve to be removed from the Play Store for violating the rules of displaying ads outside of their own app.
Didn't Adobe make Lightroom free on Android?
