[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_ngu:
Hi there,

I'm having a little trouble with my phone.

I originally updated and rooted my Nexus S to Android 4.0.3 back in March, however due to stupidity, I updated my phone with the Vodafone AU OTA update which was released a few weeks ago.

So my question is:

Can I update and root my Nexus S to Jelly Bean? If so, how can I do it?

Also, are there any dangers with doing so? (Root - OTA - Root again)

The tools I used were found on the Nexus S Hacks site.

Any help would be appreciated :)

James

I haven't tried this, but why not give it a shot? go to superuser app and look for an option to keep root after OTA, it may/may not keep root, but if it doesn't work, just follow the post above. good luck!

Do any of you guys use a bluetooth audio kit in your car with your S3? I'm talking about the type that can be plugged into your car's AUX input and outputted through the speakers.

Any recommendations around the $50-60 range? I was thinking about grabbing this:

http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-BlackBerry-Smartphones/dp/B004EHZUYG
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
What do you mean by style? And I'm not recommending that particular one since I don't know much about these types of kits. Just posted that one as an example of what I'm looking for.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jfree3000:
I think this is along the lines of what you are looking for.

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-bluetooth-car-stereoclip-review
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
Samsung HS3000 is a favorite around here. The BHS is hard to find as most people just call it the HS3000 but it has APT-X for better sound quality (I think)

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Stere...qid=1344517645&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+hs3000
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
That one doesn't seem to have a microphone right?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
Unless I'm missing something, isn't that just for headsets? I'm looking something for that'll plug into my car's AUX input and output the audio through the car's speakers.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
Yes it has a mic

It has a 3.5 plug in it. Apparently has great quality and will clip to your visor. (I don't have one, that is from someone that did in another thread) Plus, it's half the price and has APT-X
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
Thanks...I'll check it out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
I've been using the Belkin for a couple of weeks now and I am VERY HAPPY with it. Only thing I wish was it could pair up with two devices at the same time:(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
Do people on the other end report good call quality?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
I use it in my truck which has a enormous amount of road noise. It's not the best test environment but people I call don't complain so I assume it's OK on their end.

To be honest with you I don't talk much on the phone at all. I use it for Navigation, Music, and Podcasts. Audio is extremely clear and noise-free.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
Thanks. I really like the simplicity of it. Looks like you can charge your phone through it as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulaqZinAz9g&hd=1
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Yep, charging works fine. Once paired all you have to do is turn on your car and push the one and only button once to re-pair it. Takes 2 secs to pair every time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
Do you have model #F4U037 or #F4U037tt? They look exactly the same but the F4U037tt is about $10 more on Amazon.

Answer..buy whichever is cheaper.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
Sweet...thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Beemer533:
I bought the Tunelink adapter from Amazon for $90.

It isn't the cheapest, but for listening to music it works very well. I have an aux port in my truck, but using that with the Infuse car dock i was getting horrible engine noises (charging or not), the Tunelink adapter solved that for me, I think it sounds great...

It also has an FM transmitter built in if you don't have an aux port; but I didn't bother trying that.

Just keep in mind, this will only work for music, not phone calls. This is great for me, as my truck has BT that only works for calls, not streaming music.

You should be able to; I connect to my truck BT for phone calls and my Tunelink adapter for music at the same time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theodork:
Anyone know a unit that will automatically turn off and on with the car? IE leave it plugged into the charging port and it will automatically power on and connect to paired devices when you start your car (no need to push a button)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
I definitely want something for music and calls.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Beemer533:
Only way i can think of to do this is to add your own switched outlet to the vehicle.. You would just have to find an ignition switched source and wire into that (with a fuse).

Yeah, its not for everyone, it did work out in my case... I would have preferred that my truck supported AD2P, then I would not have needed this... (or that the Infuse dock audio port wasn't so noisy)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fishfuzz:
I have this unit and it works great. The microphone is terrible, but for playing audio, I can't complain.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
That's not what I meant...Two separate phones can't connect to the Belkin at the same time. This is a feature that some BT units have which allows the unit to pair not only with the driver's phone but their passenger (*in my case my wife) phone as well at the same time for phone calls.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bso44:
If the microphone sucks, that's a deal breaker. I'd be using it to make hands free calls as much as playing my music through it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roc_vader:
I have previous experience in unpacking and repacking boot images, I did that for my Vivid and Jetstream. But I faced a problem when doing that for EVO 4G

So, this is the situation - I downloaded the RUU for my Unlocked EVO4G, extracted the boot_signed.img and flashed it and it works fine. Then, I tried to unpack and repack the boot image. I used the 0x80400000 (It is mentioned as CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET in config file) as the kernel base address. However, the new boot image always causes a boot loop. I thought that it may be a problem with the kernel base address that I may be specifying.

If the base address is different, can someone point it out for me? Or am I missing something trivial here?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintetienne:
Hi everyone,

at a bit of a loss here . Bought a galaxy s i9000 which someone had had issues when trying to upgrade firmware- managed to recover it , but it has serial number issues ( 004990 etc ) strange thing is phone shows as unlocked but only works on vodafone and virgin which it does fine . When another sim card is used it shows network name but out of service - could it be the imei is being blocked or any other ideas - I am on T mobile so as it stands allthough it works it is not much use to me ,

thanks in advance .

If you can live with some rubbery feeling on your screen, try XO skins ... in my case it masked perfectly even a small deep mark in the very center of the screen.

There is always the alternative to spend like 200$ for a new screen :P.

My button seems to be stuck on press, although the button itself moves. I pull the batt and after a second the phone turns on on its own. If i put back the batt and hold volume up, it goes to bootloader. When in bootloader, I can't navigate. Any way I can fix this? Or do I send it to a service center?

[Android General] lovekeiiy:
This is more just a how to.

MLB at Bat app for Android did an update, and the app is now checking to see if "mock gps" is enabled. If it is, the app will not do allow any video playback--live or archived. It'll give you a mesage "unable to reliably verify your location". I found out the what the error meant from some page on MLB.com; they also give instructions how how to undo the mock location. The last version not to check is 1.20.

I saw quite a few people complaining in Google Play/market they're unable to view video. This is why.

Some people used apps, such as FakeGPS, to circumvent blackout rules to watch thier local team or some national game, such as Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN, while on the go. It's still possible to use gps spoofer with MLB at Bat, it just takes more steps. I found a sollution that appears to be working for me on a HTC Evo 4G. I haven't tested thoroughly with live games, but does work with NFL Game Pass in the USA. Here are the steps:

1) turn on your GPS spoofer (say FakeGPS). Set location.

2) open up Google Maps, and load it's map location. It should load your fake location. This will put the location into the phone

3) turn off GPS spoofer. close app

4) disable "allow GPS mocking." look in applications, developer tools section

The fake GPS location will still remain in the phone. I can speak of other other GPS spoofers, but FakeGPS will prompt one to enable GPS mocking, if it is not already, when you open the app. You can now open MLB at Bat and watch video.
[Android General] projectD:
tried it on my S3, no luck.
[Android General] lovekeiiy:
I tried the method above on a blacked out live game, no go on the Evo 4G. It's obviously checking the location every time you load a game. It's not just checking the GPS location loaded into the phone.

The method worked for 2011 Game Pass which only checked when loading the app. The 2012 version checks your IP instead.
[Android General] tkeyes:
like you, said you cant have mock location checked, to watch plays till someone finds an way around it. you cant even use the website to watch game either
[Android General] SpamProtect:
The best way I have found, for Android and/or PC, is to signup for a cheap VPN service, it doesn't have to be a fancy fast VPN service just as long as they have servers/IPs outside your area. Since it will be only used to authenticate your location and not for long game streaming.

The trick is to connect to the VPN first.

Open 'MLB at Bat' or 'mlb.com' and start to watch your game.

Let it authenticate and buffer/stream some of the game.

After few seconds of streaming the game, disconnect the VPN and you should be home free.

It will hick up for few seconds or what not, you might have to reopen the app or refresh the pop-up page to get it streaming again.
[Android General] amateurhack:
Side-stepping the in/out-of-market issues, you should go to settings and under developer options make sure "allow mock locations" is turned off. The app will not allow you to watch any games at all if that is turned on.
[Android General] NYFan:
This is bull****. I pay $25 a month for the service. Do they honestly think the majority of people want to watch out of market games. I mean sure if you are on vacation or moved out of state but most of us want our teams on our devices in places where we don't have access to TV's. I'm about to call and cancel now that they pulled this.
[Android General] fozzir:
This works for PC but not for Android. You cannot set proxy in Android to make the AtBat app work.
[Android General] BurgundyNGold:
This process works on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.2.
[Android General] CrunchBangPow:
works here

I moved the fakeGPS app into the /system/app folder and rebooted, and turned off Allow mock locations. Works like a charm now. Didn't even need to install a VPN or anything.
[Android General] slthree:
Sounds great. Would u please tell me how to do that?

EDIT: figured it out and it WORKED.

I'm watching my Braves right now!

[Android General] imninsomniac:
<2013> Working Steps

1) Install Root Explorer, FakeGPS, AtBat App

2) Using Root Explorer, move FakeGPS from /data/app to /system/app

3) Disable Mock Locations (if enabled)

4) Open FakeGPS and set your location (I prefer to use one outside of the country)

5) Open Google Maps and verify Google Apps have access to location.

6) Click on the GPS icon to center the map on your FakeGPS location.

7) Open AtBat and load the video

If something goes wrong:

I've found that forcing the AtBat app to stop and clearing the cache works.

1) Close AtBat

2) Open Settings/Apps

3) Force Close/Clear Cache for AtBat App

4) Set FakeGPS location

5) Open Google Maps and verify your fake location is shown

6) Open AtBat and load the video

If the above doesn't work:

1) Restart into Recovery

2) Clear Cache/Dalvik Cache

3) Restart Device

4) Follow the original steps 4-7

I hope this helps!
[Android General] bread and circus:
came here to troubleshoot a problem i'm having with this:

Put Fake GPS into System/App; turned off Mock Locations in Developer in Settings

Fired up Fake GPS (have the GPS setting in "settings" turned on; I've also tried it in the off position)

Cleared cache/ restarted At Bat

Did not get an indication from Google Maps that the fake location was turning up

Got a "you're in the blackout area" message from At Bat

Coincidentally I've used Location Spoofer's IP and GPS spoofer the same way with the same problem. I've attempted to use the app to send a fake network/ IP signal and the fake GPS signal. I've also tried to switch both of those signals off (in case the app sends the signal regardless of whether these are checked).

I suspect I have something set up wrong because these should be the only two ways the signal can get to MLB. Also just tried clear/ dalvik cache Any advice?

edit: I've discarded my login info by selecting the "delete data" setting, and i think it worked.
[Android General] Auronis1:
Thank you jram505 and imninsomniac! I've been struggling with this not working for a few days without any spoofer installed, I didn't realize there was a new "check" for mock locations... I forgot it was even enabled!

These instructions worked with an added step. After moving FakeGPS to /system/app the app would crash when I tried to open it, until I rebooted.

Now if we can just get the Chi Sox winning :cool:
[Android General] taylork:
I'm still in shock that their support couldn't figure this out for me (sorry if this is slightly off topic). Why couldn't the message for video playback have been "Due to mock locations being enabled ..." plus they are getting beat up in the ratings some because of this.
[Android General] ManImCool:
Hate sounding like a dum dum, but how does one move an app into /system/app? Never done it before.

Edit: Somehow missed the instructions right above. Wanting to avoid tinkering with the root stuff, I downloaded an app on Play called "/system/app mover" that looks like it does everything for me. Using the app, I selected location spoofer and moved it to /system/app, it automatically made me reboot, then I confirmed that I can use the location spoofer with mock unchecked. Can't test to see if my local game actually works until tomorrow. Thanks for this thread!
[Android General] Tumpster:
I've moved it but I get the At Bat app crashing when trying to load a stream. Any ideas?
[Android General] lovekeiiy:
It may be possible to do this without moving FakeGPS. I tried, but I couldn't find it in the data/app directory. But I did find this on the FakeGPS site

[QUOTE="FakeGPS fake]Q: It doesn't work with MLB At Bat!

MLB At Bat uses double check of your location: GPS location + GeoIP location. The second one means they can get your rough location by your IP address (issued by your local internet provider) and black you out so. The only way to cope with it is using Fake GPS paired with a VPN service that could replace your external IP address with a new one. But if the new IP address match an area which is blacked out too you'd try to use another VPN provider[/QUOTE]

This is more tricky to pull off because off, but I've had success on my Galaxy Note 2 and ASUS Infinity Pad. When it loads successfully, it takes a good minute. This does require the use of a VPN.

1) open gps spoofer. pick a location (that correspondence with the VPN server you're going to use).

2) open google maps. this will load gps location into system.

3) open VPN. sign onto location server. this needs to match GPS fake location.

4) open MLB at Bat app. This will load GPS location into app.

5) go into settings, developer, shut off mock location. MLB app checks to see if this is enable first. Needs to be off or you get message about not being able to reliably check location. This may close your gps spoofer; should not be an issue because GPS location is already loaded into MLB

6) switch back to MLB at Bat. Pick black out game. Watch game

Basically, when you go to watch a game, MLB at Bat mobile is checking three things. For what I can tell, the order is 1) is mock location enable, 2) GPS location, 3) and IP address.

You can open the VPN and GPS spoofer in reverse order. I do it the order given because the VPN does take some bandwidth so it takes a bit longer for the maps to load. The big thing is making sure MLB doesn't reload after disabling mock location because there is risk it will rerun the GPS location and have your real GPS location. You'll have two issue. GPS location in black area, and IP not matching GPS location. If it does, stop MLB, clear cache, redo.

I've have used this on both ASUS and Note 2 to watch the As play live at home which is only about twenty miles away from my home.
