[Q] removing T-Mobile sync

Anyone know how to remove the T-Mobile Sync option? When ever I add a new contact it adds it to T-Mobile sync and not to google.

You are talking about two different things:
1. saving new contacts to t-mobile account is default, you cannot change that. But before you save your contact you can choose from a pull down menu to save it in your google account. Next time you add another contact it defaults to t-mobile again. It sucks and is the only things that really bothers me.
2.syncing with t-mobile account...your t-mobile contacts are synced with the t-mobile server....you can stop the syncing by going to the account and sync menu. you can stop the syncing but you cannot remove the t-mobile account completely.

ahh I was hoping to uninstall it but that will do... thank you!

as am i, hopefully someone finds the service or .apk name for that because if someone who rooted the phone and wants to use it on a diff carrier doesnt need that sync account in there.

###As usual backup all your data and I'm in no way responsible if you brick your phone. It shouldn't because I just finished this on mine and it works fine.###
Now I found a way and just did it on my MT4G. Grab root explorer or similar if you don't have it. Open it and use the search for "nab" anything that comes up I.E. that says tmobile.nabservice blah blah blah. There was like 4-5 files for me one zip, obex, and a few others delete em all then your done. The Tmobile sync account is gone and the default contact save is the first account you set up for in sync.

How do you know it automatically saves it to your "tmobile" account? because i have auto sync unchecked for tmobile, and when i go into the settings for my contacts i have everything unchecked except google contacts...but under tmobile contacts it says ZERO

You know it's adding to T-Mobile, because when you go to add a new contact, T-Mobile is the default...

This is true regardless of if you have T-Mobile syncing or not (I have mine disabled 'cause who the heck needs T-Mobile contacts?)
I posted in the thread that led me here, but I wanted to ask Keldarr or anyone who has done the removal of all-things-Nab - does Phone show up as the default Contact Type? Instead of deleting anything to do with Nab, I just froze the NabService via Titanium...
This gets T-Mobile out of the list of Contact Types, but now Phone is the default - not the Google account I wish to be the default. I wanted to see if those who have deleted all traces of Nab, have Phone as a Contact Type and if it is the default.

How strange, in my case it saves by default to my Google account every time I create a new contact. Check your display settings.

Slow reply sorry for me my default contact save is the first gmail account i added. not sure what it would be if u didn't have a sync account besides t-mobiles sync but id assume it would be phone until u add a google account.

[Q] Anyway to change the default account to save contacts under? [Stock Rom]

I know it can be changed individually after each time, but I'd rather it go directly to Google and skip TMO setting.

That probably means you still have T-Mobile contacts linked to some of your Google ones. Try this:
1) On the web, make sure ALL your contacts are in your Google.com contacts.
2) On your phone, make sure sync with T-Mobile is UNCHECKED and that ONLY Google sync IS checked.
3) Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and choose the Running tab.
4) Scroll and choose Contacts Storage.
5) Select Clear Data - WARNING- THIS WILL ERASE ALL CONTACTS DATA FROM YOUR PHONE. DON'T WORRY. IT WILL SYNC BACK.
6) Go into Contacts. Hit Menu/View. Make sure that T-mobile (and any other accounts you don't want to display) is UNCHECKED.
7) Go back to Accounts & Sync and make sure Google is syncing ant that T-Mobile remains deselected.
You should be good to go when it comes to Google being the default contact entry. If you had contacts linked with Facebook, Twitter or otherwise, you will have to now let those sync and auto-link again. It's worth the trouble, though. Good luck.

No problemo. I feel your pain. The HTC Phone and Contacts app are counter-intuitive.

Worked for me. Make sure your T-Mobile contacts are empty. Try clearing defaults in contacts before clearing data in contact storage. Dunno otherwise.

I first only deactivated the t-mobile account but left the others active (secondary google account, Qik, etc). It didn't work. I deactivated then the syncing for everythingexcept my main google account. Then it worked.

[Q] Copying Contacts to SIM

Is there a way to copy all my phone contacts to my SIMcard?
Under settings all I see is import and export, no copy all contacts to SIM.

Not a way to do that but you do have SD card and gmail.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

You can't do it in bulk but you can save individual contact numbers to your SIM.
Open the contact you want to save, hit the menu>more>save to SIM.

Yeah, unfortunately that's the way it is for now. One at a time.
FYI though; if you setup all your contacts in Gmail you will never lose them and all you have to do is sync with that account and your contacts are there.

also you can sync them to tmobile.

Like I replied not a way to "copy all" to sin

well, does this really work? i was trying to sync my phone contacts with my gmail account; doesn't seem to work. The phone syncs google contacts with the phone fine, but this does not work vice versa. I linked phone contacts with google contacts; still, when i login to my gmail from my computer, my gmail contacts have not been synced to include phone numbers as well.
any solutions?

See if this works.
Contacts>settings>import/export>export to SD card>choice of SIM, phone or tmo
After that hook the phone up to your computer via USB and select disk drive
Gmail>contacts>more actions>import>select CSV file off phone.
I haven't done this myself because I don't want to sync my contacts with Gmail.
But let me know if it works.

[Q] Issues after upgrading to KitKat on Note 3 (N9005)

Let's start with te facts:
I live in the Netherlands and haven't modified my N9005 in any way. No root, no custom roms. Everything is stock.
Last friday I got an OTA for the KitKat update. Installing went fine.
After a while, troubles were starting.
First thing that went wrong was an error "android.process.acore stopped". This message started an couldn't be stopped anymore. Even after a reboot I still got the same error over and over again. I tried all fixes I could find on the internet, but ended up with resetting my phone to factory setting
After soms hours of reinstalling my phone, my phone keeps crashing. Out of the blue my phone freezes and then reboots. This happens about 5 times a day.
I also got an error when I opened my SViewCover (com.sec.android.sviewcover stopped).
And now I discovered that Samsung made a change in the email app. Normally I only received the last 50 mails. This way I could reduce my data usage a lot. I have a mailbox where I receive more then 1000 emails a day. Now Samsung removed this option and stared downloading up to 5000 messages. Also the default is to load max 50kb per email. Because of this I used 600MB in this weekend alone!
Does anybody else have the same issues and maybe found a solution?

I don't have kit kat on my note 3 , so I am not sure of difference with email app.
However on 4.3 there are two options

Yeah im not too happy with the changes made as well. The thing I dislike the most is that now you have to have the sync toggle on to manual sync. In 4.3 I would use the sync toggle for push emails and manual when its off.
EDIT: I can see now you said you get 1000 emails a day! What I wrote below won't help, sorry.
To get to your issue: the only solution I can think of (without looking for another email app) is to change the "Period to sync email" to the shortest setting*, which would be a day. This is how I've got my spammed email set up, so when it does sync it doesn't use up loads of battery or data.
Email (app)/settings/accountsettings/"your email username"/syncsettings/period to sync emails:
I wish Samsung in future wouldn't try fixing something that isn't broken.
* the shortest sync setting will sync more than a day if you need it to, by that I mean you just get a day at a time when you sync. Sync twice and you'll get two days worth of emails.

Tnx for your response. Unfortunately your suggestion won't fix my problem indeed.
I really liked the default email client because of the good integration and PGP support. But alternatives as K-9 are also quite good.
My biggest worries are the continues crashes. I really get frustrated by that. At this moment I can't use my phone for the wake-up alarm. After a reboot my phone asks for my pincode (what I really don't want to turn off). I really hope Samsung will come up with a solution. That's why I "hope" that more people have this issue so Samsung will take it seriously.

5.1.1 credential storage bug

Hi
I found a bug that confirmed by Samsung support !!!!!
(WTF Samsung make firmware for his 2 new high end phone !!!)
When you set fingerprint for lock screen and restart the phone , you can't access to vpn setting and it need credintial password !!!!!!!!
Galaxy S6 is worst phone did i have until now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All initial software releases all have their bumps and bruises on their 1st few days. Thats the reason why updates are present to correct and improve them. Just be patient.

I hope so (

It is.

Well i got myself locked over my own phone because of this ****. As i changed to password screen lock and then it wasn't accepting the password I used.
Lucky I was able to change this via adb. And in recovery mode.. Otherwise I would have to reset all phone. Stupid dumb Samsung

don't have 5.1.1.... but
Did you try
Configure -> Lock screen and security -> Other security settings -> Clear Credentials

What credentials does that erase? I read that someone tried that and all apps got reset and even mobile carrier stopped recognizing the phone.

No. It has nothing to do with aps. It removes the credentials you created when you created the fingerprint entries. When cleared, all unlock options are available. By default, there are no credentials.

Just tried it. Worked perfectly. Thanks!

Doesn't work in my case. I use airwatch mdm which install a certificate for exchange activesync. After restart, the mail client can't use the certificate and asks for a password. I can clear the credentials but when trying to install the certificate again it asks for a password. Only after changing the lock screen to pin I can install the certificate and use it on my mail client. Every restart is the same.

What mail client do you use? I use Outlook and so far it seems to be working fine.

Outlook can't load certificates, it's the same with native mail client, nine mail client and airwatch inbox.
Used to work fine on 5.0.2 and on other devices.

Exchange admin forcing pin lock is not unusual. Allowing pattern unlock is unusual.
At our company you must use touchdown (provided) and pin lock is forced. Other mail clients are not allowed for exchange access and are considered a security risk.

Did someone forward this issue to Samsung support?
