Back up my data - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you guys use "Backup my data" setting? (settings > privacy > back up my data)
Is it worth it. Do they collect my private info to when I do that?

Disabling "Connection Setup" at startup

[Q] "Connecting to DM server..."

Any clue as to what "Connecting to DM server..." actually is, how do you stop it from saying that, and finally, how do you get rid of the 2 little arrows on the top of the screen, that are the result of that "Connecting..."?? Thanks!!
If you enter Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Menu button > Filter > Tap ALL > You will see Device Management.
This app checks for firmware updates from AT&T.
Also in the Applications setting menu you have Running Services. You may tap to close the Device Management service.
You can also use a startup manager to stop Device Management from auto-starting.
Also, you can root the device and use Titanium Backup to completely uninstall it. However you'll lose the ability to update Over the Air.

[Q] What happened to SIP settings?

I got the lollipop OTA on my XT1063 and now I can't find SIP settings.
They are NOT in the phone app call settings.
What happened? How do I fix it? This is ridiculous.
On Nexus 5 it's in a pretty obscure place. Dialer > dots in the "Search contacts & places" box > Settings > Call Settings > Phone account settings > SIP settings. Do you see that on your Moto?

Sadly, no, I don't. That's where it was on my Nexus 4, too. There's no "Phone account settings" menu under Call Settings.

(Guide) Lost Phone Protocol

Hi guys, this is my first guide on XDA
Any suggestions for improving are welcome
I have always been worried about losing my phone, so i made a "Find my phone if all else fails" backup plan (because Googles Device Manager isn't that accurate if you don't have WiFi/data)
What you need:
Tasker (well duh?) [PAID]
Secure settings plugin
Toggle data 5.0 [PAID, but rumor has it there is a free version for XDA members somewhere] (Not needed on Samsung devices, can uses taskers built in data toggle?) I am only using this as the secure settings and taskers inbuilt data toggle did not work for me. They might work for you!
...and Root (Recommended)
You are out with some mates, and you reach into your pocket where your phone should be, and you find....nothing! You don't panic though, as you can just borrow your friends phone, to text yours to find it.
First line of defense
This is a simple, no data, no wifi way of getting an accurate location for your phone.
1. New > Event > Phone > Received text
a. TYPE: Any
SENDER: (Leave blank)
CONTENT: Lost phone (you can change it for your own phrase, and it is case sensitive!)
<Back (top left)
In the popup, select "New Task +", and call it "Lost Reply"
2. Add action > Phone > Send SMS
a. NUMBER: %SMSRF
MESSAGE: Please wait up to two minutes for the location...
<Back (top left again)
b. Add action > Plugin > Secure settings > Configuration (Tap on the pencil) > System+ Actions > GPS > select "On"> Tap the save icon >
<Back (Top Left)
c. Add action > Task > Wait > 5 Seconds >
<Back (you know where)
d. Add action > Location > Get Location > SOURCE: GPS, TIMEOUT (Seconds): 50 [higher the better, more accurate GPS fix] >
<Back
e. Add action > Phone > Send SMS > NUMBER: %SMSRF
MESSAGE:
Im lost! My batt is at: %BATT
Location: %LOC
Accuracy: %LOCACC
GPS stat: %GPS
<Back
f. Add action > Task > Wait > 15 Seconds
<Back
g. Add action > Plugin > Secure settings > Configuration (Tap on the pencil) > System+ Actions > GPS > select "Off"> Tap the save icon >
<Back (Top Left)
Done! you can now track your phone via Text!
Need more tracking ability?
How about you enable the data remotely via text? Then you can use Android device Manager or an installed anti theft app to track your phone!
[You can try kenboyles72 method posted below for enabling/disabling data too]
Data on:
1. New > Event > Phone > Received text
a. TYPE: Any
SENDER: (Leave blank)
CONTENT: Enable Data (you can change it for your own phrase, and it is case sensitive!)
<Back
In the popup, select "New Task +", and call it "Data on Reply"
2.
a. Add action > Plugin > Toggle data 5.0 > tap on "Configuration" > select "Switch on"
<Back
b. Add action > Phone > Send SMS >
NUMBER: %SMSRF
MESSAGE: Data is now ENABLED
<Back
Data Off
1. New > Event > Phone > Received text
a. TYPE: Any
SENDER: (Leave blank)
CONTENT: Disable Data (you can change it for your own phrase, and it is case sensitive!)
<Back
In the popup, select "New Task +", and call it "Data off Reply"
2.
a. Add action > Plugin > Toggle data 5.0 > tap on "Configuration" > select "Switch off"
<Back
b. Add action > Phone > Send SMS >
NUMBER: %SMSRF
MESSAGE: Data is now DISABLED

Nice guide and works great as you have written above. Just a note, you can enable/disable data via run shell in tasker without any third party app/plugin. I have a profile that toggles data when I'm on wifi.
Turn data off
Run Shell Command:
su
setenforce permissive;
svc data disable;
Check the use root box
Turn data on
Run Shell Command:
su
setenforce permissive;
svc data enable;
Check the use root box
Not sure if this will work on all phones, but works great on my Oneplus One

Found that command in one of the guides here. I have gone through just about every thread and have greatly expanded my knowledge in tasker. I have bookmarked a lot of 'em, plus I have everything typed out just in case
Edit:
Here's another tip for your script that I just added to mine. In your send text command with just %LOC, you will just get the long and lat numbers and is hard to copy just that text in some message apps. Now if you add
Code:
I’m at http://maps.google.com/maps?z=12&t=m&q=loc:%LOC
this will give a link to google maps with current location and would be easier to use.

Live Message not working!

Hi, which apps are needed for live messages to work? I uninstalled live messages, but then reinstalled it but still no live messages< so am thinking there are other apps (dependencies) like stickercentre, or notes or emojiupdater etc. or something that I'm missing, to get live messages to work again, other Spen note taking functions etc work fine, just live messages not working, any ideas? thanks
try maybe (from https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Note8/Live-Messages/td-p/608700)
"...
Go to Settings > Apps > Show system Apps (click on the 3 vertical dots upper right of screen) >
Air Command > Storage > Clear Data and Clear Cache.
then
Go to Settings > Apps > Show system Apps (click on the 3 vertical dots upper right of screen) >
Live Message > Storage > Clear Data and Clear Cache.
Restart Phone
..."
Thanks will try.
