[Q] Gallery/Google Account 4.4.2 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have any idea how to stop my gallery popping up asking for my google login details ?
It has only just started since I had the 4.4.2 U.K Update.
I dont sync my pics with google+ so I dont need it to log in

Two ways :
1. You could ask your mother
2. You could look at the account settings on your phone

double check your Google+ account for your picassa sync as it might be on without you realsing, if it's off, wipe your Gallery cache from apps.

Thanks for the help.
My mother didn't know how to fix it either
But I logged in to it just never synced any of my pics, so it's all good
Thanks peeps

Open gallery and go to settings.
Deactivate sync if you wish

[Q] Facebook Contacts Sync Won't Work

Hey guys,
I could not find any recent related issue
Basically Contacts sync for facebook is not pulling a single record into my contacts. All other account contacts show up, but facebook's
I already tried turning fb sync on and off, clearing app cache and data, uninstalling, reinstalling... Turning off all other sync services... Clearing data and cache from my contacts... And all of that
This is happening on my nexus 10 as well :\
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks
I noticed fb app was recently updated!
Is this a confirmed bug?

Its a Facebook issue as syncing isn't natively supported in stock android. Unlike HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz which support it as its baked into their phones. I use an app called Contact-sync for Facebook, it fixed all my FB syncing problems.
use a app named haxsync

haxsync is worth the price. Gets nice high res contact pictures and adds events and birthdays into your regular calendar app. perfect.
Get haxsync. It not only syncs contacts it syncs Facebook calendars too. Well worth the dollar or two.

It's between Facebook and Google - they had a hissy fit on who 'owns' the contact data on your phone and until they make up it's never gonna be (officially) fixed

Your question was answered by kzoodroid.
Android Jelly Bean does not support contact syncing with facebook.
Device manufacturers like HTC and Samsung added the facebook contact sync into their own devices.. Because they have a contact app (phonebook) that pulls your contacts status updates and such.
Nexus 4 is LG, so no Facebook Contact Sync.
Sidenote: The Contact Sync & Status Updates work for those contacts that have Google+ Profiles though.
Just open the contact, and swipe over, and you'll see their Google+ Info.

What app did you go with? I've never had any problems with Contact Sync for Facebook.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync&hl=en
Also the new 2.0 update of Facebook supposedly was written with native code for Android but it still doesn't sync all my contacts.
Haxsync is still the best option in my opinion, the added functionality plus jellybean works too. Also I emailed the dev with an issue and received a response to resolve it the next day. Can't beat that!!

It's actually there for a reason. I'm not sure if you heard, but since a few months ago Facebook has been syncing your phone contacts with your facebook contacts. Not to add any info to your phone, but to add phone numbers and other information to your facebook contact book. It's really dodgy, and facebook was called out on it for not clearly informing users when they first started doing it. A lot of people still have no idea that their contact's phone numbers/email addresses/etc. are being used by facebook in that way.

Wait, so Facebook 2.0 syncs status updates and such now, and you're just having a problem with a few of your contacts? or did you mean to say that it still doesn't sync?

Couple little things that are irritating I've found

1. When the quick setting profile is clicked it'll say " the contact doesn't exist"
2.If you got picasa photos in you gallery you'll have to un sync/delete photos in your Google account somehow

My quick setting profile works fine. I think you just need to log into the google+ app if it isn't working now.

It will tell u and all that u need do is once after it restrtd login from the pop up using facebook same id on app
and while logging allow permisson then it will ask to sync calender and gallery check whichever u like and then just ok after that u wont get that notifications
Hope this helps
or if you're rooted, you can just freeze SNS Login or uninstall it using Titanium backup to get rid of it once and for all
Ive got root and will delete it.
Thx

Samsung - please fix the Email app

I am using the native email app for my exchange account. It is useless..
1. Keeps force closing
2. Whenever I try to move a message to a folder it keeps loading then closes
I was hoping it would fix with the new OTA update but not luck.
I am using N900 model.
I actually have the same problem but on a S800 version of the phone.
I've tried clearing the cache, removing my account and a lot of different things.
I am rooted, use a different dpi than stock but via xposed it is stock dpi. It never worked w/o fcing the first time I open it, even before I was rooted even.
If I want to read an email I open the app, it fc's, then I open it again and all is fine...
Would be nice of anyone had an answer or fix for this.

Which means it's there on n9005 also!
Have you tried flashing one of the ROMs? Maybe it works fine in those?
Something causes the crashes and I suspect it's folder naming related and is depended on the local language. I thing even if I don't have the problem we must somehow contact sammy for this.
You have the problem in normal pop3 accounts or exchange accounts only?

Not too sure... Works fine on my HTC which is running Android 4.3
I have zero problem with the email app. 2 exchange accounts on it. So maybe it is indeed something about your particulars accounts.

i have this problem on my exchange account... not quite the same, but every time i get an email or notification to do with that account, i can't access it from the notification bar or the app will force close. even if i try to clear all notifications or clear just that one, it freezes up the phone for about 5 seconds then force closes the email app
any ideas? this sucks... i need that account for work...
I think we need to narrow down the problem, what I can do is to make for you a test email in my company just for you to test, I'm with exchange 2007. What you think,? I'm really thinking that is regional problem or something that has to do with character encoding in the phone or in the exchange server or even with the certificate.
You both have knox enabled?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 4
Well I have frozen the knox crop via titanium backup.
I've only setup a Hotmail account. Never had any problems on my old note 2 or s4. Not even on 4.3 Google edition roms or aosp. Anyway, the problem was there even before I rooted strangely. Even when I swipe away email notifications the app fc's.
Could it be an email.apk problem in the /system/app folder?
Could someone with root please upload it so I can test?
Another edit.
I've noticed it only happens when I get an email, which means I get an notification. If I open the app when I get an notification as well it fc's. When I just open is at random it doesn't fc. Very very weird

Working fine here. I have the exynos SM-N900 version with 1 exchange account. I use it for work so emails all day and no fc so far. I have wanam xposed with the exchange pin bypassed.

How do I disable knox?
Sent from my HTC Butterfly s using xda app-developers app
I have tried it with Knox frozen and not frozen....I'm on a n900w8 rooted with twrp installed. If I do anything to interact with an email notification from my exchange account it freezes the phone for a few seconds then force closes email. If I turn notifications off, and nothing gets displayed in the notification bar then I can use it all normally. And even with stuff being displayed, if I go into the actual program and check the email, it works, even with the notification there, but it doesn't go away and when I go to get rid of it then same thing force close.....what a load of Crap that Samsung puts out something with an issue like this on a phone that is supposed to be "business friendly" ****ing bull****
My problem with email app:
It sends emails just fine it does not receive any email unless i remove the account and add again. there is nothing wrong with my server (using IMAP push from hostgator) and in the K9 client its working flawlessly however i would really like to use the stock app. It wont receive email even if i do a manual refresh i have to remove the whole account and add it again
can anyone help me please??
Ok guys better don't turn off knox for this, we still don't know how it affects the overall system. As I see it it's problem with the samsung push service and the notification subsystem. The push service is upgraded before some days and my version that's working fine is 1.2.2.2

Are you able to move mails to folders in the mail app? Do you have many folders on your exchange server?

Two things....first, would this cause the notification related issues I have?
Second, I just found that, if I set sync to manual, send myself an email from a Gmail account on my computer, then go into the email app and click refresh to sync, then I get the same problem....email freezes things up fit a few seconds then force closes. I can still Re open email and after I do that then it works fine and I can interact with my nail, it's just those two situations that causes the force close.....don't get it

Set it to Messages & check if its still comes in email?
Did it... It's just the same. I'll add that the account in the email application has no link with my Google (so my hangouts) account.

Yeah... That was pretty much my reaction too
And no, for now I didn't reflash anything.
OK... I got it...
The android update seems to have activated the 'synchronize sms' option of the email account... i deactivated it => no more sms in email app...
Thanks anyway
in the e-mail synchronization you should disable SMS synchronization.
this exist in the Exchange synchronization option... I don't know which is used by you.
Yep, that was the solution!
