Hands free activation with everey reboot

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.

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.

I try that method but mine still show 1 on the counter. Is there a way to get rid of that?

Apps (especially messaging) keep crashing!

This has been happening for a week or so now and I can't seem to work out why! It seems random that when I open the messaging app it just crashes, then sometimes that seems to cause a chain reaction and everything starts crashing meaning I have to reset it with the power button. The problem tends to persist unless I power down, wait and turn the phone back on. I didn't have the problem on the rom for a long time (Jellybean 4.1.2 for Endeavoru AOSP Build [JZO54K]) it just seemingly started happening at random. I tried a new rom with a new boot.img (aokp_endeavoru-ICJ-V3.4) which seemed to hold the problem off for a few hours but now its started on that one! I've also ruled out any apps because I made sure I didn't restore anything from my gmail account.
Any ideas?

Lollipop update issues

So a friend of mine updated his G3 to lollipop and he's facing two main issues:
Settings isn't opening at all. It FC's right when you open it
Messages app also force closes many times
the most annoying problem: Alarm if set, phone only vibrates no matter even if sound is set to full.
And force closes of apps frequently.

Can you borrow his phone and reflash everything with a fresh download from one of the XDA threads? Perhaps it was a bad flash?

He didn't flash, he updated OTA and I think I can, he's pretty busy person though.
Was looking for a more easy solution.

Yeah well it still has some degree of flashing I think. Just try a factory reset to stay on the safe side. Then alternately try reflashing. A factory reset shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes.

Make sure that you are rooted (goes without saying) and using the correct version of TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862

Saafir said:
From the information in your post, you seem to be on the right track. That ROM has taken upwards of 25 minutes to boot for some folks. As long as the blue light is slightly pulsing, it's doing it's thing. As long as you have TWRP installed and working, you should be good to go.

p.s. Thank you guys so much, I'm skepticle when it somes to asking for help on forums, cuz usually people are short tempered and or a-holes. I really appreciate it though.

1 last thing, do i install/flash the OTA part after it optimizes all the apps?

finished everything, it's booted up now, but my screen is spamming "unfortunately, "APPNAME" has stopped" is that normal?
EDIT: Can't get into my text messages either.

Saafir said:
You shouldnt receive any errors. I would reboot to TWRP, do a wipe and reinstall the ROM. Let the device boot and set it up. Once all is good with the initial install, reboot to TWRP and install the update.zip. This should ensure a nice clean start.

I did exactly that. Im currently reflashing the Full ROM taking longer at the samsung screen. But I'll wait. If all else fails I'll probably go back to stock.

Would anyone mind giving me specific step-by-step directions. please?
I feel like im forgetting something crucial.

everthing finally worked out. just having an issue with xposed literally taking hours at the boot screen

my wifi doesnt work and when i try to use it freezes my phone

most of the times my phone freezes at boot animation and I have to factory reset everytime to go through, but again when setting up the phone when asked for network connections "use wifi to setup, use mobile data to setup" something like this, it freezes there too, so I wait 15 minutes at that screen and then proceed and strangely it doesnt freeze. I think it the issue with wifi part because it freezes there and also bluetooth and hotspots are not working, it freezes there too. Please help.
