Screen keeps turn on after 4.3 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I updated my note2 to 4.3 yesterday using odin stock pre rooted. But since the update my screen keeps to turn on by itself every 30-40 seconds then turn off and so on.
I have Wakelock detector and the service that is causing the problem called TrackingService2
I re flashed the rom again and this time it didn't happen until today.
The wakelock returned.
I downloaded Disable Service and tried searching for it but I didn't find.
Anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

I have the same problem. My rom is phoenixrom v14 on note 2 n7100. I would really appreciate help with this. I have no idea what to do.

Well i had this bug too. ..but i changed my rom and it worked....try freezing the process using titanium backup...ot may work...but there is never an assurance

Thanks Sadeshmagic,
I had this problem with rooted stock rom also, but if I remember correctly it wasn't this aggressive.
I tried Titanium backup, but couldn't find UID or Trackingservice2. After some googling I understood that every app has a UID, it's a ID, so that's why I can't find UID in any process list.
I booted note 2 in safe mode and noticed that the problem didn't appear then. So if it's a 3rd party app I don't understand why I can't find out the app that has a process called Trackingservice2.
So any advice on how i can locate the app that has Trackingservice2 process?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I just reflashed my rom to start from the beginning. The problem has gone away so it's definitely a 3rd party app.
I'm gonna install some/most of the same apps again, but maybe this time one at a time so I can see if one of the apps brings the problem back. I'll tell you if I come across that app.

Could you find out what caused the problem?

Missing Apps?

Certain apps are missing from my phone I first noticed this with Lookout the app is present because I get notifications but it is no where to be found in my app list. Also did they do away with the basic calculator from the aps list in the N900T? I know there are plenty of other calculators but just odd that this is missing also? Not sure yet what else is gone.
Did you look in the Samsung folder in the app list?

Ok there is a few things in there but still many apps missing. Like Lookout and several tmobile apps as well as many others factory installed apps after a factory rest I only have 24 aps showing on a single app page but I can find the apps in other places and like I said even though Lookout isn't showing up in the app list/grid it is still running.
btw the calculator was in the sam folder.
I know its something Ive done just hoping there is a way to reverse it. I was rooted via the Root_de_Vega method and all went well I had started to try and flash JediElite rom with twrp but never could get it to take and after reading a bit more decided that ID keep my KNOX 0X0 and just used some Xposed and some themes but somewhere along the line I did something to cause the loose of viewable apps on the grid/list.
Im not sure when it happened during which process I was trying. I thought I was sailng along ... rooted...customs themes and then bam.
I flashed back to stock through ODIN and they still did not reappear..So I have since rerooted via the same method and am rooted again hoping this might help me locate what I have don't to hide these apps.
I had started the process of the 5x5 SecLauncher but I think this had happened before that.
Im guessing it was my failed attempt to load up the Jedi ROM as it started partially through but I could never get it to work I was thinking maybe I had only gained limited root access with the Root_de_la_Vega ? Has anyone been able to flash ROMS after rooting this method? Wasn't sure if I needed to us CF method if I planned on ROMs?
Shouldn't a flash of stock with ODIN replace any app (even bloatware) if JEDI ROM had deleted them? And as I said they seem to still be there just hidden....
Sound dumb, Ive spent several hours over sevreral days trying to learn how to do this. Like I said Im sure if probably a simple fix
.
OK never mind ... Ive figured out whats going on. Sorry to have sounded like a total noob.
Sometimes just cant see the forest for the trees lol
Thx krelvinaz for the Reply before
So I guess AllShare was replaced by Samsung Link...

Phone info setup as a device administrator

Hello,
I have had my phone for a while now, but today was the first time since I got the phone that I looked at the device administrators area (settings / security / device administrators) and I noticed that there was an item called "Phone Info" that was activated by default and after reading about what it is supposed to do, I decided to deactivate it, but I was unable to do so. My questions therfore are:
1.) what is the purpose of this item?
2.) why can I not deactivate it?
3.) is it normal for it to be activated by default?
4.) if is not needed than how do I get rid of it?
In case it helps, my phone is rooted and I am still running the stock 4.1.2 ROM that came with the phone.
A few days ago I tried out the "All In One" 4.3 Stock ROM from Thunder Stick, but it was not working for me to well so I restored my nandroid backup of my original stock ROM so I am not sure If the other ROM has anything to do with it or not or if the setting has always been like that, but as I said before, I just noticed it today and would like to know what it is and how to deactivate it if I can.
Thanks for any and all replies,
Mtcell
Can you post a screenshot?

Here is another one that shows the permissions dialog and where I should be able to deactivate it, but pressing the deactivate button has no effect.
That is weird. I am checking my s3 now but this is all it shows on my optimus G. Maybe it is a Samsung thing?

Edit: here is what my s3 shows under those settings, but remember, my s3 isn't activated. Maybe it is just the activation stuff?

"I think a ducks opinion of me is heavily influenced by whether I have bread or not."
Thanks for the reply. After doing some research I have discovered that it is part of some corporate security thing that sprint has on some of the newer s3's (see the attached screenshot) Anyway, I have frozen the app since there is no way to disable it. That will work for now until I change my stock ROM in a few weeks.
If anyone else has this app setup as a device administrator and wants to disable it than you can use the pro version of titanium backup or the free version of sd maid to freeze the app like I have done. Note, your phone must be rooted to use these apps.

d710 icsFL24 stuck in bootloop after installing agat recovery

I rooted the stock OS with SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Rooted_Nodata.exe and everything worked fine. Then I installed MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk and did the SXTP_Agat_FL24-v0.4.0.tar flash, and upon reboot, the OS loaded up fine, but after a minute the OS would lock up and the phone would then reboot on it's own, and it just keeps doing that no matter what. I've already tried going back into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, no change. What should I do?
BTW, I'm a noob to smartphones, the reason I was doing all this is because I can't transfer any files to the internal USBStorage folder either by KiesAir or by physical connection to the pc, I just get a transfer failed error. I was trying to make a recovery so I could load a custom ROM (dirty unicorns) in hopes that this would fix the problem. Also I don't think taking this phone to Boost for a replacement is an option, since I bought this phone used from the previous owner. HELP! =(
Look guys, I'm not someone who is too lazy to use google. A week ago I didn't even know how to use this device. I've tried looking around but I'm gonna need someone to point me in the right direction, so seriously? 33 views and nobody can at least do that to help me?

What I would do is download the GB27 Rooted Odin here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
And update to JB and maybe that might fix some of your problems. You can get into Download Mode by pulling the battery and replacing it and holding Power+Vol Down.

App Installation Stuck on 9.0 System

Hi guys.
Searched the forum and google but did not find related discussions.
I and some of my friends updated our S9/S9+ to the 9.0 system and had this serious problem. App installation will be stuck during the process for individual apk file or from Samsung Store. Google store doesn't have this problem but many apps I use do not have the Google Store version.

Updating the app or installing a new app from apk or Samsung Store will be stuck forever on the 9.0 system.
I can't do factory reset now because too many important data and can't do backup for a long while.
Any thoughts? Thanks
Did you disable any app using eg. Package Disabler Pro?

I was asking, because I had exactly the same symptoms. Turned out that re-enabling the McAfee anti-virus solved all my issues with installing apps getting stuck.

Thanks! I should try this. I currently reset my phone the second time and it is just fine again. I may check that option the next time.

I checked the McAfee anti-virus thing, most of the stuck problem solved. But some apps like the Samsung Pay, Samsung Calculator, and some others will still be stuck during the installation, both from Samsung App Store and Google Play and individual apk files.
Disabling McAfee
I have tried everything. Turns out it was as simple as unfreezing McAfee. Thank you!

[Mi10T Pro] App selection stopped working. I am looking for help

Hello
This is my first post so please be understanding.
I have been using the phone from the beginning as a regular user. I haven't made any modifications or changes to it (like root change etc.)
Recently, the official update of MIUI to version 13.0.8 appeared and after that the application selection stopped working. I had no problems with the phone before.
For example: An attempt to open a pdf file brought up a window with a list of various applications that handled the file. The same thing happened with other files or URLs. I have several browsers, so depending on what I wanted to open the Internet address with, I indicated the right choice.
Now the window shows up, but trying to tap the three dots immediately brings up a random app, each time a different one, no additional window pops up. No list of any apps expands.
I thought that maybe the problem will solve itself after resetting the phone. I set everything up again, did not restore any backups. Unfortunately, the problem is the same. I don't have any default settings.
What can be done? The problem is very irritating. I have no idea.
Apart from this problem, everything else works fine.
I will appreciate any help or suggestions
Screenshots are in Polish, if necessary I can translate.

Hello, I suffered from the same bug for a long time until I found the culprit.
You just have to uninstal updates of the Xiaomi Mi Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.globalbrowser). Sadly it can't be easily uninstalled. Maybe it can be done with ADB, but I have not tried yet. Remember to disable automatic updates from the PlayStore to avoid it to update. This will cause the bug again.
I also suffer other bugs like an ugly and forced dark mode when the battery is below 40%. I was always tempted to install a custom ROM, but the stock camera features (manual focus, lens distortion correction, 108 MPX, zoom...) are important for me.
Thanks for the help. This solved part of the problem. Now I have a choice when opening files but still no choice when opening URLs.
Maybe someone else?
