Sync issue with ota - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Dont know if anyone else experienced this or noticed it. But after ota my drop down menu added multi window but sync is not there. I have to manually sync in gmail. Is there a setting I cant find?

i noticed this as well when i took the update. not sure what caused it, but yes, a little irritating. i would suggest flashing a rooted deodexed ROM and then odexing your framework again (as it is stock) using my method in the dev section. send me a PM if you need any help

I will pm you later. Rooting part I have no problem doing. Now framework is new to me. Thank you

It won't give you a toggle in notification bar but try settings > data usage > settings key > check auto sync data.

All I want to do is be able to pick what Facebook contacts I want to sync to my phone. I tried using the app and sns neither one giving me the option to pick the contact I want to sync. All I get is a list that's greyed out but says select all but I can't select anything. Someone please help with this small issue

Unfortunately I don't believe there is anyway to pick and choose.
You can set it to sync with existing contacts but that's about it.
Part of why google was talking about dropping support

Yeah so really the only way is to have it sync with existing, at least that limits what syncs

Cm9 account & sync.

Is there an option in cm9 to turn off the account and sync as there is in cm7 and tw? The one that actually tells u that your saving battery by turning it off and the market won't work unless its enabled? Cuz I see that the market always updates as soon as I connect my internet so I'm thinking if there was a way to disable the sync then I would save a little more battery when I'm using the internet correct? So I see there is not actual setting for this since the account and sync being "off" doesn't have the same effect as it did in other roms. So would freezing the market and market updater be the same as turning off the account and sync that I'm looking for?

So the market not breaking doesn't waste a little battery everytime I connect to the internet because the market checks for updates? Is there a way to stop the market from checking for updates so that I can save a tiny bit more battery?

Disable auto update apps under market settings?

Oh, and notification for updates under market settings.

Okay so after going back to a tw ROM I've realized that I was a little misleading in what I actually wanted.
I don't want to disable accounts & sync, because that is the option that is found in cm9 already. What I meant was background data. Is there a way to turn off background data so that apps don't sync or do whatever they do and waste battery?

Cm9 Mms with call motion

This Mms should have the call from messaging motion. I did not make or code this app. I made a cherry picked build and pulled this apk out to share. I'm not sure if it will work, but it should.
http://db.tt/KpssMp29
Installation:
Delete stock messaging app
push this app to your system/app folder and reboot.
Or you can flash this zip in recovery- thanks to Justin860

Yes you need to delete secmms first. I will add that to OP.
You will lose the lock screen notification.

App worked perfectly after I cycled the motion switch in the settings.
Thanks much
Is there anyway to add lock screen notification? Other than that, this messaging apk was awsome
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Followed instructions in OP
Are any permission changes needed?
It lags badly when i attempt to go into the app, i'll hit the icon on my home screen and it will hang for a good second before opening
It also will not let me click on any existing message thread once i receive a message until i go and "compose" a new message to someone in the list, then have to back out and it will work
I also noticed that once I send a mms when i go to compose just a text it will re-insert the picture i JUST sent
Any one else with these issues?
I'm going to run fix permissions from CWM and also maybe reset the MMS app data and delete pre-exsisting messages from before the change from stock to the modded cm9 one
**EDIT**
I cleared app data for the messages app
Fixed Permissions in CWM
Wiped Cache and Dalvik
Deleted all existing messages
It appears to be working now, so just a heads up for anyone with my issues, try what i did and it should clear up

OK after running this over night it is clear that this does NOT function the same way as the stock motion, here is what I mean
I was curious how the motion detected that you wanted to call the contact, the stock motion requires the phone to be taken from texting orientation to talk orientation AND detects when your close to your ear with proximity sensor, it will not work if you just cover the proximity sensor, it actually requires the motion too...
This modded "motion" enabled messaging app only looks for proximity, so if you move your hand over the sensor when typing in landscape mode it will try to call the person
In real world use, with the stock app I never accidentally dialed anyone
With this modded app, I have over 15 accidental calls just last night alone
Also, it will work weather or not you have the "motion" for it toggled in the motion settings

[Q] Anyway to have Gmail 4.2

I know we are in an early stage of development but just curious if there is a way to get a Gmail 4.2.
The whole zoomed out email view is awesome and it's probably only thing I'm missing. I will appreciate if you have any guidance.

For some reason on stock AT&T when going into Settings > Application Manager (Select ALL) I see two Gmail apps. One is Gmail 1.0 and the other is Gmail 4.1.2.
Anyone else notice this? Any idea why there are two of them and if both need to be deleted in order to install Gmail 4.2?

If you are rooted then use a File Manager like "Root Explorer" & go into /system/app & rename gmail.apk to gmail.apk.bak. Then copy the 4.2 gmail apk to /system/app and lastly change the permission (4.2 gmail.apk) to RW-R--R--.

The app itself looks pretty much like the old version, you can just zoom all the way out so you can see the entire email. I'll post a picture in a little bit

Don't remove Gmail 1.0. It's useful label, which is responsible for the opening Gmail mails with Gmail by default.
Without Gmail 1.0 my phone is restarting by itself each time when I try to set the default access to the mails.

[Q] Stupid Question.. I need help on

Stock Note 2.. up to date..
for some reason I cannot find my email Icon. I just started a new job and we have to use exchange. I set up the email account via Sync accounts..
Now here is the kicker.. I cannot find the EMAIL icon in any grid to place it on my home screen. I looked into Settings... App Manger.. All and there is an icon there for it. .But for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere to add it to my home screen for easy access..
Anyone know how to magically make the icon reappear on my phone with out having to do a wipe?

I assume you are on the TW stock launcher? If so, try this: touch and hold empty space on home screen... select "Apps and widgets".... under Apps tab, select "Email". There's also an Email widget on the Widgets tab
The widget works.. but I am just looking for the email Icon.. I cannot find that little guy any where..
Is it hidden or disabled

It could be. ..how do I enable it unhide it?

Go to your app drawer then tap your menu soft key. The show hidden apps is at the bottom of the list.
There are no apps currently hidden... it never showed up in the app drawer this way. ..

If you can set up your email and you have a widget that works I sure do not see how you could have lost your email icon. Did you tuck it away in a folder? Post screen shots of all your app drawer pages if you do not mind.
Here you go.

That is weird. The only odd thing I noticed was that you have two gallery icons. The only thing that looks like email appears to be Microsoft's icon. Are you running any icon packs.
Everything is stock. ..no packs what so ever.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
If you're rooted, go to /system/app folder and see if you have "SecEmail.apk" or "SecExchange.apk". If you do, you can try reinstalling the apks. If not, you need them. Easy to root if you're not.
Not rooted.... still can't figure it out. .. The icon does show up for ways to share attschments etc. ..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Install a file explorer that will allow you to get to /system/apps then tap on your SecEmail.apk, you will have to enable unknown sources, it should try to install the email apk. I do not know for sure if it will install or not and it may not even help. Reset your security setting for unknown sources if you want afterwards if you like. I have heard that some Samsung apks cannot be installed after initial boot.
It starts the install...but it does not complete it. I have astro by the way.
