[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s0me guy:
i dont really understand what your asking here but im sure if you go over you allowed Data useage you will probably get overage charges just like if you went over minutes or text msgs.

i dont understand what rooting would have to do with any of it. rooted or not you would still get charged for going over your data allowance. rooting is just somthing you do to unlock the phone so you can get access to modify the software. it really doesnt have much to do with the network. all your Data/min/txt usage will be calculated the same regardless if your rooted or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cad-kong:
that's exactly what i'm asking... even though rooting and unlocking features of the phone is there... will the carrier still pick up the data usuage even if i'm rooted... don't know if there's a "blind" in the software, where it would hide data usuage or not... reason i'm asking NOW rather than later on and being charged an arm and a leg for tethering...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s0me guy:
to be honest i dont know how easily it would be from them to see if your tethering, using hotspot or whatever. im sure there is a way if they wanted to see badly enough. but its probably not worth their time to even look into unless your usage is creating issues on the network.

but regardless, i dont think there would be an easy way to "trick" their system into thinking your using less Data than you are. if thats what your getting at. :confused:

i mean you are pulling the data from the network. regardless what your phone says the usage will still get recorded...

i think what your asking goes way beyond rooting and whatnot. i would suggest using WiFi where available and or getting a plan with more Data. ether that or just go with whatever carrier has unlimited data in your area. i wouldnt expect anyone to publicly be able to help you with this as if there was a commonly known way to get around this and a lot of ppl were getting "free" Data... it would be fixed pretty fast dont you think?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
I haven't tethered on my SGS3 since I've rooted it; I did tether on my Droid X. I have the grandfathered unlimited plan and I only did it sparingly and didn't have any troubles with VZW. In the height of the DX days P3Droid once mentioned that VZW knew who was rooted and tethered and would knock them off their unlimited data plan. I can't say I've ever seen a post from someone saying that they lost their data plan, but his tip on this kept me from tethering too much. Honestly, I'm still a bit afraid to do it now since I don't want to loose unlimited data. Since you're not on the grandfathered plan I wouldn't worry about that too much.

My suggestion is that if you do tether is that you keep it on the DL, yo. Don't go blasting though gigs of data torrenting crap, etc. Just be warned that if you do stuff that is obviously a network drain they'll spot it and "fix it". ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cad-kong:
damn... makes me wish i would've switched over a long time ago... =\ oh well...

only thing i ever used to tether was my playstation... i did play it a lot though... lol... thanks for the info though guys... much appreciated... and hopefully this thread will answer others questions in the future... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kthung:
Not sure which plan you have but if you're on their new share everything plans then hotspot is included, they don't charge any extra
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] geoff5093:
It sounds like he's asking either if there's a way to hide your data usage from Verizon, or if rooting and installing a ROM hides your usage by default. I've never heard of a way to hide your usage from Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cad-kong:
yup... didn't know if rooting your phone would hide data usage or not... wasn't sure since i used to be with sprint unlimited data and i never got detailed bills...

but i see now that rooting only unlocks the feature of the phone itself... thanks again guys... :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] f3lazed:
It is a fact that you can not hide the usage but you can hide the fact that your tethering through certain apps.

Hello,

I since some days using Tytungs ICS 4.04 ROM. It is great and it works well with the AD2SDX-Mod for internals memory.

But besides some smaller Problems, the lockscreen activation/deactivation button not work.

When I put Lockscreen off, sometimes often Lockscreen comes active not matter if active or deactive with widget picture.

Or I turn lockscreen active and little widget picture is "white", but when Screen go black and I pressing a button, homescreen I see and no lockscreen.

What I now will do?

Greetings Robsterboy

My only concern when buying this phone was battery life compared to my Razr Maxx. I was expecting it to be shorter...... but not this much!

I have tried restarting and clearing cache+dalvik. It seems to keep happening.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Eesh that is definitely not normal. I have the Verizon GS3 and get far better battery life.

I would suggest a factory reset. That seems to work for some people. Otherwise I'd suggest getting a replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kegacide:
looks like something is waking up your phone like crazy when the screen is off...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
I love these sort of posts. You obviously have a wake lock that is keeping your processor active when not in use. Download "BetterBatteryStats" from the market and check out your wake locks and partial wake locks. It will be petty obvious at that point. It's most likely a rouge app.

It isn't a systemic problem with the phone. I get around 20 hours with slightly more than moderate use.

Sent from my SGS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] airmcnair06:
can you elaborate more on this? i downloaded the program and I dont see anything irregular at all. when i go to "partial wake locks" i see audioout only taking up 2.4% TOTAL TIM, 7M51S and the next one being dropboxcpuolywakelock

next one being backup, so on and so forth, none above 2%....

I am experiencing the exact same battery life drain as the op...except i have the tmobile version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slopokdave:
I had the same issue the other night. Took it off the charger and fell asleep.... when I woke up over 1/4 of my battery was gone. Android System showed the same high percentage used. I went into apps, android system, force stopped it, rebooted.. Hasn't crept back up since.

From my understanding, under idle, android system should be in the 5-10% range.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] npompei:
I did a full system reboot, pulled battery and restarted - all better. Something was tripping my battery up as well. It's not the phone, somethings causing it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joemagistro:
not sure how thats possible at all.. I have the t999 gs3 and other verizon users confirmed very similar battery life..... these phones get around 2.5 hours screen on time.... soo to actually get 20 hours of use, MOST of that time has to be with the screen off.. i dont see how moderate usage would yield 20 hours.... ide LOVE to get 20 hoursss
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leewongfei:
Your phone never sleeps. I would do a factory reset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Smac7:
that's what i get, with 2-2.5 hours of screen time. no lte for me though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juroid:
I have Verizon GS3 and battery life is great. I too had an issue with battery drainning fast on my GS3 but found out it was Enhanced Mail Apps that I was using that killed my Battery so I uninstalled it. After the uninstall, my battery life has been great. You really can't compare battery life between Mot Raze and GS3. GS3 is far superior.

There must be an apps that is draining your battery.

Here is my battery stats. This is with moderate use.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mean Bro Greene:
That is far from normal.

100% LTE. Moderate with periods of heavy use. I would run a few cycles to see if your battery performance improves. Also, as other users have stated, keep running BetterBatteryStats for a few days and it will keep catching the wakelocks you're getting. If you still can't figure out the problem, I would seek a replacement battery from Verizon just to be sure.

Edit: Forgot to mention this before. If you haven't yet, plug your phone in and charge the battery to 100% with the phone powered down completely. Then let it run all the way down before charging it again. Doing this once effectively "trains" the battery to better read its full capacity and won't hurt the overall life of the battery. This is something that I find is often missed with new batteries, but I have had great results with.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Topher227:
Thanks for the replies... i did a factory reset and did not use Titanium to restore the apps in case one of them was causing the drain.

I'm still getting random drains by "gsiff_daemon" (which i'm seeing others having issues with this too). Fortunately this drain is fixed by a simple reboot. Yesterday I was able to get just under 15 hours of what i'd call light'ish use (under an hour of cached Spotify, WiFi all day, 10 minutes of phone calls, 30 SMS) and was at about 5%. Keep in mind I had about an hour in there where good 'ol gsiff was suckin down the battery (It took about 20% in 45 minutes).

The final test for me is this weekend. If it can last a whole day with my moderate/heavy usage.... i'm keeping it. Otherwise, its back to the Maxx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] turbosrrgood:
This doesn't address the root cause of something preventing the phone from sleeping, but I thought I would mention an app that helps extend battery life. Personally I get great battery life regardless of any "saver" apps, and have never gotten less than 12 hours on a full charge, and that was very heavy use. I probably average closer to 20 on moderate-heavy use.

Anyway, as some know there are apps that will automatically turn off your data connection while the screen is off. Most turn the connection on for 1 minute, every 15 minutes while the screen is off so that you still receive email, ect... This does not affect phone calls and text messages, as they do not use apn and would be received immediately. These products can significantly extend battery life with little complication, particularly if you stay connected to LTE all the time. As an example, overnight I might lose about 20% of my battery or more while sleeping. With one of these apps I lose only about 4-6%.

I personally like the BatteryDefender app, very simple to use, and very reliable.

Hi,

Just wanted to know : Except the battery are the RAZR and RAZR Maxx (both GSM version) exactly the same (software & hardware) ?

Actualy I have a XT910 RAZR (official Android 4.0.4 + root + CWM) and wanted to buy the Maxx version (now available in GSM version too)

My question If I root and update (ICS+root+CWM) a GSM RAZR Maxx and I take a Nandroid backup from my Razr to put it on the Razr Maxx will everything work correctly ?

Thanks for all your answers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Pouic:
No one have an idea ? :-/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] farhanito:
I don't have maxx... But I'd say, yes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Yes as long as they are both in the same software version, the restore will go fine. You might get some messed up battery stats the first few days, but other than that it should be fine.

Howdy folks!

I've been feverishly scouring the web and this site for ways around the internet sharing limitation that att puts on its phones. Sadly the xaps and provxmls didn't work well for me but I struck gold on google and I would like to share it with you! in xda post below, skip to registry editing unless you cant see internet sharing as option

long story short as shown here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233612&highlight=openmarketenabled Thanks sensboston for diggin it up.

do the following registry edits:

Now launch WP7 Root Tools and go to Local Machine -> Comm -> InternetSharing -> Settings and manualy add new value (+val button):

(this is description)>>Value Name: Name, Value Type: String, Value Data: Value ... hit save

Value Name: EntitlementURI, Value Type: String, Value Data: ./Vendor/MSFT/Registry/HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing/Settings/OpenMarketEnabled ... hit save

Value Name: OpenMarketEnabled, Value Type: dword, Value Data: 1 ... hit save

need more info? keep reading. sorry for crap presentation.

The Sasha Kotlyar has a post on his website that shows you the registry settings required (you can use only the first two, or go all the way to fully debrand). http://arktronic.com/weblog/2012-04-14/my-phone-my-rules

Prerequisites:

1. In order to successfully add the registry values you will need to start with mango version 7720 or 7740 and interop-unlock with windowbreak or

visit http://windowsphonehacker.com/windowbreak/ on your non-nokia mobile phone or visit windowsphonehacker.com/articles/the_windowbreak_project-12-23-11 for more info

1a. If you cannot use window break please find another method to interop-unlock. like heathcliff74 xap

2. Install Root tools: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569832

3. Visit http://arktronic.com/weblog/2012-04-14/my-phone-my-rules

3a. Use Root tools to add the first internet sharing related value in your registry you will have to use "add value" button since it's not there originally!

3b. Use same to EDIT the "entitlement" value

Please make sure you spell everything in your registry correctly!

tested on samsung focus flash. Speedtest.net on pc showed pathetic 500kbps Down and 1mbps Up on "4g".

Good Luck and please show Mr. Kotlyar your gratitude for so clearly and simply showing the settings that need to be changed!

Also thank our window-break and root tools suppliers, jaxbot and Heathcliff74!!

Before reposting some very old hacks with outdated instructions (Shevron unlock isn't available more than year!) and referring to some unknown guys (who is "wonderful Sasha"?), try to search forum first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334248&highlight=internet+sharing

All these noobs "wonderful internet finds" have a xda roots.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bananapeal:
maybe you should revisit the portion of my post specifying how the various provxml and xap packages provided on this site haven't worked for me. I haven't seen those exact registry settings written out explicitly on xda, just long winded instructions for some ultimately useless xap deployment.

I visited the thread you mentioned (as well as others) many times and tried it without success. In perusing the thread I see no mention of the two settings that need be changed in the registry. I do see users reporting issues with their radios and some wondering whether it's undoable. These registry settings look very undoable to me but not that xap deployment.

another search for " internet sharing registry settings" comes up empty .

Simply editing the registry as shown was fairly easy and straightforward and it worked.

I merely hope someone else having a similarly fruitless search will find this useful.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Have you seen this (an year old!) thread? If you unable to find/apply, it doesn't mean the xda instructions are useless ;)

P.S. Your post it's just an another proof: XDA needs more structured, clean and visible FAQ/wiki system.

Will these Registry values work with a HTC Titan 2, or is this just for Samsung devices. Please advise. I dont want to brick my phone. Thanks!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] bananapeal:
sensboston, i didn't find that thread. it should be stickied. its much more concise and well organized than what i put up. thanks!

my advice to others, as someone who's only worked on one device to investigate this issue, is that if your device gives you the option to do internet sharing but att denies you this right with a message asking you to call them, then your condition may be cured simply with the registry settings. the fella in sensboston's link has an optima and the registry bit is the same. if your problem is more severe in that there's no internet sharing option, perrhaps you may check out that thread more carefully to see what's applicable to your device.

the regediting parts are the same and this makes me feel safe that it will work across devices. just remember, you edit entitlement value but add the openmarket dword

as a final word, i do love xda and all the work people do to support and develop here. didnt mean to link to / exalt an outsider instead of xda. google did point me in the direction of that site and not the xda post likely because i searched " focus flash internet sharing". sometimes it's hard to know what is device specific and what isn't.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
I have done several ICS to ICS flashes using AGAT's recovery with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
In general it's a good idea to not let data linger around, especially if you're flashing a new ROM. It rules out that any problems you experience are due to corrupted data from the flash process.

Fortunately with Agat's repack you can safely restore backups for TW roms.... meaning the setup should only be a one time deal for each new ROM flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Well over the weekend I tried 4 different JellyBean ROM's, I used stock kernel or kernels supplied by the ROM creator or Franco's. I just don't see what the excitement is about?! Am I crazy or blind or something? I figure I must be missing something and thus why the question. I want to know from you what you find so great about JellyBean that current ICS 4.0.4 ROM's don't already offer. Ya ya I know, it's early but still. You opt to drop a feature filled ROM for JB which to me is as plain jane as you can get. I think battery is better, wifi/data handling is better but beyond that I just don't see anything that says, GO TO JB! I guess I'm spoiled, I don't know. I use AOKP and BlackICE predominantly on my phone and the ability to change theme's, status bar options, nav bar resizing are all very important for me. So today I am back on BlackICE and just elated to have all my customization options back.

Well...While I'm camping AOKPM6 as well...

I also understand the thrive to be on the newest [best] thing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tuk1maar:
Jelly Bean is way faster then stock ICS 4.0.4

Everything that I do is faster now. It's soo smooth! I haven't (yet) used a custom rom for my Galaxy NEXUS so I came from the most stock you can get. My phone is also just ~10 days old. I have never experienced android 4.0.1 to it's fullest extent because I went straight from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 within 10 minutes (OTA update) Used 4.0.4 for a while since last thursday which is the day I got the update to Jelly Bean. It's just smoother. Especially the browser with playing youtube flash videos is way faster now. It used to be very laggy if I tried to zoom in/out and it was a little bit choppy when scrolling up and down. Now with Jelly Bean, the scrolling is way faster (not buttery smooth but it's faster!!) and zooming in/out is buttery smooth WITH playing video's through the stock browser (not chrome). Those were 2 720p video's playing at the same time and the performance was great. Way better then I had with Android 4.0.4

Now, if I find any slowdown I blame the phone, yet those same slowdowns also happen on a stock Galaxy S3 which my brother owns. The phone's UI is faster than a GS3 (which already is super fast!)

What jelly bean does is, it enhances the Stock android 4.0.4. You are on a custom rom which already enhanced stock 4.0.4. So I don't know how much a improvement you will notice but just wait till the dev's release an enhanced Jelly Bean Rom! That will kick ass for sure!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
While I found some things faster I didn't find the whole experience better. I guess as you said I'm using a custom ROM and kernel. A lot of mix and match but its pretty lag free for me overall.

Ya I guessitmate it will be faster with a custom JB ROM. So far all ones I tried are just to stock and not much of an improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spiritcrusher33:
JB is awesome. and pretty fast. but in real world usage ( for me anyway ) not enough for me to stick with it over a custom ICS rom.. went back to AOKP and trinity . best combo for me. once the other roms catch up with JB etc. will switch.. but im content atm..

I definitely sense the increase in smoothness and speed with Jelly Bean. I remain on ics for now though since aokp has spoiled me with all the extra features. Once they release JB with everything merged in I'm never looking back to ICS
