Hands free activation with everey reboot - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Can someone help me with this? I found that if you remove sprintandroidextension.apk it goes away but it didnt. I also found that by removing SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk it goes away, but i cant find it on my Galaxy note 2. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If you let it go all the way through HFA once it won't return. Since you removed sprintandroidextension.apk I'm not sure it will succeed now. Try re-adding that first.

Under system/app, look for Sprintdm. Apk ///// change it to Sprintdm. Bak

Thank you! it worked

interesting. found this thread buried, and there still seem to be many people with this issue... seemingly related to the chameleon FCs some are getting, somehow possibly related to the LK8 update and/or a return to an earlier stock version...

yes, and you can delete the activation.apk as well to stop it

and I suppose I could do that too.
but both of these workarounds are "dirty fixes", and not fixing the fundamental issue.

your solution is to thoroughly wipe and reflash whatever rom you are running.

I would have thought so too. As I've been advised by other as well. But...
I have, at least five times, run a return to stock, both through ODIN and OneClicks.
I still have the issue. Baffles the mind. Makes little sense. But there it is. And I'm not the only one.
(Just so it's noted, and before you accuse me otherwise, I am not new at this, and I follow directions fastidiously. I've never once had a problem that I didn't cause myself, and I've always been able to fix them by further reading/researching.)
Just for SnG's I'll quote myself and others from a few other posts in other threads:

well, this is annoying. I seem to be stuck with the "hands free activation" and chameleon fc.
i'm assuming a nice total stock one click should fix it?

interestingly, it didn't fix it... "preparing network", "hands free" and chameleon FC on every reboot. this is after the rooted full restore OC. what am I missing? weird.
(history: I was rooted stock w/ twrp from the mskip toolkit method of rooting, got rid of twrp using the mrRobinson stock w/ root, and flashed the sxtp update to lk8, got a wifi failbug and tried to get back to stock rooted using mrRobinson and started getting this issue. lol. ok. so... one-clicked your rooted full restore, still there. is that even possible?)
well, my phone seems to work, as long as I don't reboot.
but I find it worrisome.
have to sleep for work now, but if you had any advice for things to try when I wake up, let me know? thanks dood.

Just my 2 cents, my experience with this error.
I'm getting the Chameleon FC, and the persistent HandsFree Activation on every reboot. All started when I lost wifi on the LK8 update zip (I was rooted, thanks to Voodoo OTA rootkeep), and tried to get back to LJC...
And this morning, I tried the following:
Installed TWRP with GooManage, restored a nandroid from my orig rooting using the toolkit, no luck, same two errors.
So then I OneClicked the Full Restore (SPH-L900_LJC_Stock_Restore.exe), and wtf, still there.
As I mentioned in my quote, it (the Note2) works, not broken, but I find the persistent error worrisome.
I am open to criticism, suggestions, whatever. What am I missing?

I'm having similar issues, I was on the release before LK8, then updated to LK8 but wanted to start over again.
Once i downgraded to LJ1? the hands free bug kept popping up every reboot, until I moved onto to LJC then LK8 update file which is fine.
I'm trying to figure out myself how to go back to the original firmware (pre any updates) without the issues... /subscribed.
Wonder if this is tied into it somehow...
I dunno, my head is exploding reading all these posts, replies.... 5 different versions of restore.

I have tried the one click restores back to ljc and the original tar, and I still have the hands free activation issue and the chameleon error. And when I update to lk8 I get no wifi. I have tried returning to stock about 4 times and then updated to lk8 with the same results. I always go back to ljc bc I need wifi.

kingdazy said:
interestingly, even using a stock oneclick full restore (and even using a TAR in Odin), still have the handsfree repetition and chameleon FCs. (lol, I'm not complaining really, it's early in the dev life for this device I suppose. )
Also, I've been reading that re-flashing the LK8 update.zip (via sxtp?) while it seems to fix the HFA and ChameleonFC, it kills the wifi? (it killed my wifi after aprox 2 days use, when I orig updated...)

fine question, but without knowing what the chameleon apk does, i'm reluctant to f**k with it.
anyone know? (a goog search gave me nothing...except this XDA rom w/ a fix...? I'm going to try n PM him...)
and again, my concern is the issue seems to be more significant, seeing as a Full Wipe to Stock doesn't fix it.

has anyone with our issue attempted to get their MSL, do a NVflash reset? (##786#)
I am (for some reason) unable to get my MSL, so can;t test this.

So I ended up returning my phone to Sprint, the swapped it out pretty easy, let them see the issue and error, they said "yeah, that ain't normal", got me a new one.
kingdazy said:
it would seem that the factors that all of us with this issue have in common are: a) rooting w/ ToolKit ver2 b) flashing LK8 update zip c) trying to return to stock LJC/LJ1 because of a wifi problem... please chime in if you have the issue, but not one of those factors?
After everything, I just returned to stock LJC w/ Flash Counter @ 0 (no) w/ the errors still present, took it into Sprint store said, 'hey guys, this is weird, i've got a persistent error, won't go away after resetting my phone." (IE, acted dumb enough to not have rooted/flashed unofficial shtuff/etc, but smart enough to know that it's a real issue), they looked at it, asked a few obvious questions, replaced it, because obviously something was wrong in a permanent way. I want to a corp store, not a "repair center". I think it was a good thing that these guys were not super techie.
I told them as little as possible, that I had a "wifi issue after an update, tried full reset (through the android settings menu, of course), and the problem didn't go away, no matter what". Once they heard that I had done a full factory reset, and saw the problem/error happen, it was a no-brainer to swap out.
I'll be avoiding the LK8 leak for now, and frankly gun-shy about the toolkit.

I had someone ask how I got it back to stock unrooted w/ no flash count, and while that might be abvois to some, just in case someone doesn;t want to hunt around, or ask this is what I did, with links:
kingdazy said:
ok, to get back to stock, first use this OneClick to get to Stock+Root, it will wipe ALL internal memory except SD card:
http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com...sung Galaxy Note II (SPH-L900)/LJC/ROM/Rooted
Instructions are here:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showt...-TAR-SPH-L900-LJC-(LJC-Modem-Kernel-ROM-Stock)
then use TriangleAway, this will set your counter at 0 (reads as "no" in download mode). it should also say "Official" And "Samsung Official"
Then, if you want to get Total Stock unrooted, for returns to Sprint, or any other reason, use Odin (not mobile) to flash this:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234120
Instructions for flashing that are here:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?76-TAR-STOCK-Full-L900VPALJC-quot-Back-to-Stock-quot
After I did those things, I was stock unrooted, no flash count.

Good luck to the people with this error, I feel for you, very frustrating. I am hoping that Samsung releases an official OTA soon similar to LK8, that you will be able to flash that will fix the error and the wifi.
And I hope the devs are reading these posts (even if they are not responding), are at least looking into it.
I know we have the attentions of garwynn, he's made the SxTp team at least aware that there might be an issue.
You'll be seeing me.

Yeah, I have to give it up to garwynn, he hooked me up with the pit file for our phone. Good people.

How to get Google Wallet Working

This'll work right now on Euroskank(CM10) as that's what I'm on. Want to try on something else, try it should work I wont test.
YOU SCREW UP GOOGLE WALLET IT'S ALL ON YOU
What to do...
Move app to system>app
edit build.prop
Code:
ro.product.device=maguro
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
reboot
enter Google Wallet
edit build.prop
Code:
ro.product.device=d2tmo
ro.product.name=d2tmo
ro.product.model=SGH-T999
reboot
Give Thanks
got it working
This originally worked for me on stock, but didn't seem to stick for some reason. When I tried to use it a few days later, Wallet just told me that my phone wasn't authorized. I had to go back in and change my build.prop back to the maguro settings. Then it worked just fine.
it opens and I can log in, but I get unsupported device in the upper left corner of app. Does that mean it no work? (sorry, I am noob).

Nothing will work on an LH2 base until Sprint gets an update that lib files can be pulled from. For this reason I flashed Wicked ROM and had to temporarily mod the build.prop and flash the latest update.fix file. Haven't tested it yet but I feel confident it will work as setup went smooth once I took those steps. If you are willing to use a ROM version prior to LH2 it will work.
Thanks for this. I installed wallet a week ago, but couldn't add any cards, saying that it has failed. I just did this on my phone and I could finally add my card. THANKS! Going to go test it out tomorrow. I am on Wicked v5.

Is your power saving mode on? I've always found it makes so many things laggy, unfortunately. Might be enabled by default on the rom. Worth a look.
Great community here. Yesterday I was non-rooted ICS. Today I'm rooted JB with Wallet.
My phone just got 1000% better.
First of all, I appreciate all the Devs hard work bringing these Roms to us! :good:
I was running rooted UCALH9. Updated to this JB via Odin and all SEEMED good. Problems I had:
1) Play Store FC's - FIX - I went into Application Manager and removed updates for the Play Store app, which reverted it back to the default Play Store app. This fixed my problem. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT UNINSTALL!
2) Rom Manager - I would get root user authentication error when trying to Fix Permissions. Everything else in Rom Manager worked. No fix at this time.
3) Gallery - None of my pictures were showing up. This is even after clearing caches. I am convinced it's because I can't Fix Permissions, but what do I know... No fix at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!
Damn I had that same Play Store FC problem yesterday -- I wish I'd have figured that out. I ended up doing factory reset lol.
I receive same fix permission error as you, but I rebooted into recovery to do it.

Howl long was the flash?
I'm inside Odin on flashing system.img.ext4 right now and it stays there which looks like about 20% for last 10 minutes with no forward movement.
How long do I need to wait before I consider something is wrong with flash process?

[Q] Inaccessible OS after (Slimbean) ROM setting mistake

Long story short, with above average ROM knowledge, and two previous successful flashes under my belt, I flashed Slimbean JB 4.2.1 Beta1 for my Sprint GS3 SPH-L710, and all was quite fine until I messed with menu/security/SIM PIN. Though I thought I was setting it for extra phone security, I actually implemented an unknownst-to-me feature that upon the following reboot, the phone requested a PUK code for a now-locked SIM card (my phone doesn't have a SIM card by the way).
After a long CS call to Sprint, including International Sprint, I was told to go to a local store. The short part of this story is that no one has been able to help. You see, since I DON'T have a SIM card, I have no ID to provide to Int Sprint for them to find a PUK code for me to enter. Although, I've had many troubles in doing so, I have since been able to reset the phone to stock factory settings; HOWEVER, this has NOT removed the PUK code screen, which prevents me from using the phone at all.
I am out of ideas of things to change, alter or fix to get rid of this issue. I have tried CWM and TWRP solutions with no success. In a sense, although I can do anything with the phone - recovery, download, flashing - except actually use the OS, I would consider this phone as useless as if it were bricked at this point. Any ideas from out there would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am afraid none of these tasks worked. This issue must reside somewhere recovery can't get to, and only the OS can. The software is likely built so that a regularly performed task can't override a security issue - even if it is a false issue.

I can use and have used Odin - no problem. I have full access to the device, just none to the OS.
I have successfully returned boot, system and recovery to stock, but this has not resolved the overriding issue. I don't believe I have tried to re-root since doing so. Perhaps that is worth a try.
EDIT: rerooting after Odin stock flash did not help the issue.

Have you tried wiping internal storage through twrp? I saw a solution for wiping encryption by wiping internal storage through twrp,

Nope.
This happened on my nexus and I had to get a new phone because your phone is basically locked at that point and I did try random codes and one of them worked but my lte didn't work after that neither did MMS so I just kept calling sprint non stop for a replacement and they finally gave in and gave me an exchange for free

Did you have to contact International Sprint CS or just regular? How long exactly did you badger them? Had you flashed the phone, increasing your Binary count? If so, did Sprint not hit you with a bill after replacement? Just curious, as I have really upped my count due to recovery flashes to try to fix the phone. I think I can still get a Samsung E-ticket through Sprint store for about $37.00. But again, I am concerned about the flash count, and being unable to reset it. Perhaps I should do what I can to really brick it once and for all before I turn it over.

I don't think this will work seeing as he's already flashed an odin stock tar which brought the phone back to stock everything. :/

He wanted to reset the flash counter and go to pure stock so he could take it to the Sprint store.

Handsfree Activation?
I don't think Sprint even implements that rule anymore so he should definitely be fine. Have you tried handsfree activation ------>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670131
Maybe give that a whirl. I believe you must be on stock tw for this to work effectively which it sounds like you should now be on.
On second thought, your phone may not even allow you get as far as being able to dial the activation number, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Yeah, I don't have any access to the phone OS whatsoever. Sprint tech has it now; doing some kind of process which includes a 40-minute file extraction and a 30+minute flash. Perhaps that will finally reset everything. If not, Sprint has already said it will then replace the phone.
Received a new GS3 today and I'm back in the game. Thank you to everyone who tried to assist me. In the end, no one on any forum, not Sprint, and not even Samsung could correct the original phone problem. The moral - be very cognizant and careful when flashing any CMDA variant of a native GSM ROM, as there could be settings within them regarding the SIM cards that GSM's do have, but CMDA's do not, or perhaps other harmful settings if messed with or changed. This warning is really nothing new to anyone flashing custom ROM's; it's simply another hard-learned lesson by one person whose adding more truth to the usefulness of such warnings.

[Q] huge problem, need help

this morning I got unfourtunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and cannot get the phone to boot without constantly hitting the "OK"
I see there is no signal, and can see in the phone information that the radio is turned off. I have an app that used to get to the screen but now it hangs due to the phone has stopped issue.
Is there any way I can turn the radio on by using some code with the dialer pad?
I have tried recovering 3 other nand backups, but none work. all have the same result.
Thanks for any help someone might be able to give me!
It is a rooted samsung galaxy s4 M919 from t-mobile
is it stock rooted or what ROM are you running ?what kernel? what settings ? what mods? we need some detail sir but for starters if you can get it to boot try *#2263# and if its not set to automatic try clicking your options auto is the default setting

Remove your sd card sim card and battery let set 10 minutes put back in see if the message is still present if so you might need a new sim card.

I have tried both of the above suggestions and no joy!
I have 2 nandroid backups that were done when the phone was working fine, and recovering either one has the very same symptoms.
I'm not sure that all the phone is backed up or restored in entirety, unless there it a hardware fault in this phone. It's 31 days old today..... :<(
if anyone else has any ideas, I'm all ears!
Thanks!
Might just be a lemon. I would just flash back to stock then take the phone and get a replacement.

You still have given us no details on what you are running, stock, rooted, touchwiz, aosp. Do you know how to Odin back to stock? Sounds to me what happens when you flash a modem not meant for the phone.

Odin back to stock I would think should alleviate your problem. I flashed an international modem when I was running omega rom and got flash happy when I was drunk. Had the exact same problem you are describing odin to stock worked for me

Yo Tyler!
I was not drunk nor did I flash anything, it was going fine and suddenly, poof!,,,,,
Anyway, I tried your suggestion and IT WORKED! I also saw, (I don't know how/why) all my apps being installed automatically!
Well, almost all anyway. I had to install only maybe 3 apps, and that was all. Even my keyboard configuration that I made lots of cosmetic changes to- via the apps setup, was like I had set it up as... Weird, but great for me!
Thanks for your suggestion. It's quite odd, as one of the nandroid backups was made using the exact rom image that I used to Odin back to stock....
Nevertheless, as the Hawaiians say, MAHALO NUI LOA! Tyler No Ka OI (Tyler is the best)
Aloha...
Glad I could help. The modem isn't in your back up that's why back ups won't fix this problem. As for apps, it's from syncing your Google account. Aloha

If you chose to have Google back up and restore your apps, it will do just that.

Unfortunately settings has been stopped?

What caused this error message and how do I get rid of it? When I did something related to the settings, like turning on/off airplane mode, the error message "Unfortunately Settings has been stopped" popped up and I had to click OK for it to go away. However, it did not seem to affect anything else...
It also came up right after my Note 2 finished reboot.
Anybody knows why it happened? It just happened in the last couple of days and nothing was changed.
My Note 2 is running stock JB 4.1.2, rooted with CF Autoroot.
Thank you very much in advance.
I'm sure I'm not the first one and only one who got this message. Could anybody please help?
Thank you very much!

I don't know about stock, but flashing a custom ROM should fix it. (Try reflashing stock 4.1.2)

I would just re-flash a stock rom. Maybe stock+root. Sorry I've rooted many times and never had that issue on a stock rom.

Thanks for the reply. It'll be great if I can find out why then I can fix the root cause. We really don't want every time we have a problem we just do factory reset/wipe all/reflash and pray for the best?
It really seemed that there was no answer. I googled it and saw lots of people having the same problem but no solution.
I may have to flash the stock rom but I don't think that will fix the problem. Mine is running a stock ROM

The only way to get to the root problem is run a logcat of the error. We could guess all day long. I mean did you freeze anything, delete anything, flash a mod, use an xposed module? There are hundreds of things that could be wrong, but without a logcat it would take a long time to guess your specific error.

Yep right after it happens. If there is something that triggers it. Reboot, to clear the log, then trigger the fc and pull log
