I remember using a few roms on my HTC Evo that allowed me to setup an active sync account while disabling the required pin unlock screen. Anyone know how to go about this on the SG3?

I don't know about any ROMs that have that baked in, haven't looked for it specifically. However I've always used Enhanced Email which allows you to skip the requirement, used it on the SII E4GT and now also the SIII, works like a charm. Only downside is being locked to EE for exchange email, although it's a pretty great app, so not that big of a deal for me. Just tried out touchdown, which enforces the pin on the app only, so you don't have to lock the whole phone.
If you do find a 'baked in' solution, or ROM hack let me know, I'd be very interested.
Hope this helps a bit.

I asked the same thing yesterday, here's the thread I was directed to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452
Worked like a charm, no more pin lock for my Exchange account.
I can't figure this out but my email client and gmail client keep closing. It takes almost 10 tries to get them to stay open. Any ideas?
I have the same problem

Been happening to me too. The Email app won't connect to Hotmail either.

Stock rooted .28. A reboot helped Gmail for me but not Hotmail. That errs saying it couldn't open a connection with the server and hasn't updated my Hotmail since the 13th.
I was also getting Gmail closing repeatedly rendering it useless before the reboot.

I have had the same problem. Mostly after I have played a game that uses a lot of RAM or after a high uptime. Closing all apps using a taskmanager (which I normally don't use) helped in 7 out of 10 tries but for the other 3 times I have had to do a reboot.
I have had this problem the last time roughly a week after I updated to .28 (I'm on a rooted stock too), but gmail hasn't crashed ever since.
i used to have this problem a lot. i also had the problem where my homescreen widgets would keep disappearing. Getting rid of teh homescreen gmail and email widgets (where you can see a folder ie inbox) solved my problem of the widgets. might also have solved the gmail closing issue as well. at least i haven't experienced it much since.
hope this helps!
I have this problem, just started yesterday. No mater how many reboots or using task manager get errors. Finally just got another app from market to use for email. Rooted running miui

I used to have this problem. Now it's gone since I rebooted and don't kill the GMail app using the Ice Cream task manager (or another one).
By the way, setting the limit of background processes to 4 or something else in development options, leads to the same as the system ends finishing the gmail app process.
I found a solution for my Hotmail account not syncing, not able to connect to the server. This thread has info from Spoutinwyze that got me going. Here is what he said.
>manual setup, >choose "exchange" >edit username to be <name>@hotmail.com >change server to "debug-m.hotmail.com"

I still have this problem after 6 months of owning my Prime. Gmail crashes incessantly. Completely useless. Beyond frustrated at this point. I did an RMA, paid $50 to mail it, got it back with absolutely nothing done to fix the problem. They say I can send it in again, and this time they will pay the shipping. Guess I will do it. No idea what else to do at this point. Maybe they will replace it and give me one where this doesn't happen?

Do you use the email or gmail Widgets that show your inbox? Deleting those Widgets seems to have fixed the issue for me!

I have the same problem, but it is sometimes resolved (more often them not a) by clearing the memory using the Asus task manager widget. I use it every time before accessing mail and that seems to make it more stable.

possible fix....
I only use gmail so i dont know if this will fix the other mail applications, but... I too had the force closes with gmail and I found a fix.
Open up gmail and quickly go to the settings section. from there go to the gmail account/s and change the days of mail to sync setting. I put mine at 15 days, but i haven't experimented with anything higher. all i know is that it worked and crashes completely stopped after that.
so i am assuming it has something to do with memory handling or something like that. I am not a dev or anything, but just seems like a possibility.
I do not have any email Widgets. I have cleared data and cache countless times. Factory resets after every firmware update. Cold reboots. Changed sync to 15 days. Nothing works. Constant crashes with opengl out of memory errors in the logs. Submitted multiple bug reports to google and Asus. No response from google. Useless Rma from Asus. Don't know what else to try

Try atp tweak and sio through that. Also running the build prop mods. That might help.

Hey guys, I could really use some help right now. My friend is having my tab and he wrongly hit the password for a couple of time and now I have to enter my Google account to unblock the restriction. The problem here is I've forgotten the password to my Google account. Changing the password does not help because it is not connected to the internet. So, can anyone please direct me to a solution? I don't mind formatting but I need to know how. Btw, my tab is not rooted.

You can change the password from your computer. This thread looks suspicious, by the way.
I see you posted this from your GT-i8150 which is also an android phone, so you can get your gmail password back the following way:

I wouldn't have posted that link for multiple reasons. I don't get how he could have forgotten his password since you get logged out on a computer every week I think.
For OP: download "Pocket" and keep your passwords in there. Saved me a lot of resets since I use a diff password for everything.

Suspicious in the sense of? I've changed my password but the problem is my tab is not connected to the net. So it require my old password since the new password is not updated to the tab.

That's because I'm registering a Google account just for the sake of downloading apps from Google play... It's not my primary email add nor do I use it for mailing etc.

ok, I'll trust that you didn't get it illegally.
Power off the prime.
Hold down volume down and the power button the same time and wait for 3 icons to appear.
The first icon is wipe data, press volume up.
This will wipe the device as if new including wiping the internal SD.
HTH
This is my first post at XDA. Longtime viewer but never posted.
I've had the Note a couple days now, but for the first time tried quick command. Low and behold, it's not working. I can write, but eventually it just closes before even recognizing the command. I've had no success with any of the stock commands.
I have tried clearing quick commands data as well as creating a command. Even when I try creating a command it will not let me select "Done."
All other S Pen functions work. Any help? Anything else I should try?

UPDATE!
UPDATE:
Wednesday: I stopped in a local Verizon kiosk at my mall and tried the quick commands on another Note. Worked perfectly. They said I'd have to call Customer Service to get a replacement. (Note: The employee didn't even know about the feature!) So I called Verizon (*611) and spoke with a "head tech" (whatever that means). He had no idea what was going on esp. given the factory reset I tried. He said the only option was to get a new device or try a different Gmail account (which I really don't want to move my stuff to a new one). Because the Note is an "iconic" device, they wouldn't ship me one unless I prepaid for it (then would be reimbursed when they received my "defective" phone. So I planned to pick up a new one on Thursday.
Thursday: I picked up a new one. After logging into my Gmail account during activation, I tried QC again...still no go. The employee there again had no idea about the feature, but suggested maybe I ought to try a different Gmail account. I said I would later (I had another appointment). So later, I skipped adding my Gmail account (after doing a factory reset) and BAM...Quick Commands worked! But what about my Gmail account....I added it after activation, and BAM-quick commands doesn't work again. THUS THE PROBLEM LIES WITH MY GMAIL ACCOUNT.
I want to note that I use two step authentication (through Google). Is this the problem? Do any of you use two step authentication with Gmail? I'd still love for QC to work, but do I want to sacrifice security for my main digital account to use it? (I'm going to try to post on Samsung's site about the problem).
So its the Damn Gmail account huh!! That's a shocker!! I definitely ain't gonna delete my Gmail account just for quick command. Everything else with the S-pen works. Well I guess I'll hol off on returning my Note.. Lol. I froze the Samsung keyboard in Titanium backup so I could use Swiftkey 3 so I was beginning to think that was the culprit. Man I've been pulling my hair out over this!! Thanks for the feedback bro!! Looks like I'm keeping my baby..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium HD app
Samsung chat was pretty useless. They want me to isolate the issue by trying another gmail account. I may try it later (without authentication). Any ideas on how to easily switch gmail accounts if this indeed fixes it?
I also started my own thread on this. Lol. Look a couple posts dow

Did you try to unfreeze the keyboard? You do not need to freeze it to use SwiftKey just select SwiftKey as your default. I had a similar issue but it was fixed with a reboot

Well it's gotten murkier folks...I did yet another factory reset. This time, I tried a different gmail account that has 2 step authentication as well. Guess what? Quick commands worked. So I tried adding my regular gmail (the one giving me fits)-and lo and behold, quick commands stopped working. What would cause this specific gmail account to make quick commands stop working? I've chatted with Samsung (online) and they have no idea. They want me to call voice support. I may tomorrow morning. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! Also Sammy tried to say that email is not required for quick commands to work (duh). But I've eliminated options and it certainly is a specific email account causing problems.
Figured it out folks. Got it all working. Something is wonky with some gmail contacts. Here's the fix (this is another forum I posted in):

Since the first day I got my phone my stock browser has talked. It's says "loading page" and "page loaded" and tells you when you press on anything. I don't have any of the talk back stuff on or any of the gesture stuff. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it. I have been using chrome in the mean time. Thanks in advance!

There is no setting for that on the Note 3. My stock browser isn't even in my app tray anymore for some reason. And it's not disabled or anything. Weird.

I can tell you from personal experience that the only fix for this for me was to exchange it for a new one. (Or you could delete SecBrowser if rooted). Oh, man that was annoying! Returned it, got a new one, no problems with "the talking browser" since.

This sounds like either accessibility or car mode.. Did you check those 2
Neither are active. And I've cut both on then off. If it was either it would happen more places than just the internet browser.

Do you have any folders on your home screen? If so open one of them.. If not make one and open it. . I bet it talks.. folder open folder closed. .
Nothing talks except for the browser. That's why I posted this thread. Just weird that none of the gestures or extra features are enabled but I get talking in the stock browser.
Scribbled From My Note 3
Did you try a folder.. There was in the note 2 and other Samsung devices (i think including the s4l a bug with the accessability where only the browser changing home screens and opening and closing folders would talk when they were not suppose to.
It usually pops up when some programs are installed that need some part of accessability to run. . I know some program that controls the flashing light is one but there are others.
I have plenty of folders and have switched home screens a few hundred times since I got the phone. Nothing talks except the browser.

I did the same (used Chrome) but I figured, hell, I paid for it so I should be able to use it. But nothing was outta place. Went in to accessibility and unchecked everything. Debugged the browser and found nothing outta place there either. The only option I could think of was to replace it. Or maybe flashing the stock tar might clear it up.

I just tested it here and it does no longer do it on folders or home screen but it does do it on stock browser. Do you have my fitness pal or light flow installed. .
Do you have any apps listed under settings device access ability under the section called services. .
Nope nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing that messes with accessibility.
Scribbled From My Note 3
Actually I have a Pebble and that could be messing with the accessibility features....
Scribbled From My Note 3
It has nothing to do with accessibility it just uses some of the routines or something. . It is not going to be something out if the ordinary..
No biggie. I just won't use the stock browser.

Really?!?! I didn't waste your time cherylbaker. Everything you asked me to try I tried and it didn't help. There is nothing more I can do besides not use the stock browser. I'm sorry that you don't like that answer, but it's the only choice I have. I was looking for a solution from someone who had the same experience but the only person with the same issue exchanged his unit for a new one.
Scribbled From My Note 3
You have installed something that uses accessibility sevices. If you look under settings, accessibility, services you will see "talk back". Anything besides talk back is something you installed. Unfortunately this is a bug so if you would like to keep those apps working correctly just use another browser. The apps that I have installed that cause the issue are Pebble watch app and talking caller id. Those services need access to all my apps the reason they are listed in accessibility. So I just use other browsers.
