I always just used PDAnet. We had a storm come through the other day and knocked out my home internet for a couple days. I had PDAnet (that I downloaded from the PLAY store) and used it to watch Netflix. Worked like a charm. Root isn't even required.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] the-Mike_D:
So the consensus here is that even with the (no tether unlimited 4g) plan tethering still works just fine? Or someone said that you must use firefox on the tethered pc and another said that pda.net app must be used? I'm looking to save some money by switching from my 10gig data plan but need to know that it will still tether first.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
No one said you have to use anything. If you are rooted, tethering will work fine. You can't use the built-in tethering if you are not running a custom rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ReznakMoReznak:
I too am considering the plan. Very interested to know the actual charges are at the end of billing cycle. Contracts usually have additional fees every month. That being said the cost of the plan sound really good. I am averaging about 10mb download with highs of 16mb with my no contract tmobile plan. It sucks on beachside but was kind of expecting that,can go from 100kb to 8mb down within a block or two. Might just be interference.

I would also like to know if calling mart credits can be added to the account or other providers credits work.Then I would actually be paying less than the price they are asking. About 5 percent less when i can find the codes that are still valid!

Please keep us posted everyone! Let us know if thier are any problems after tethering and how much are you tethering percentage wise daily. I want to cut out the cable and would just go to tethering for home if i can.

Also thinking that after sept 12th,tmobile may try to lure others into thier plans with free phones on that value plan,hope so,then can sell that phone(one s?) and get that Gnexus i been wanting to try .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kassem277:
tethering to PC browsers is what sets it off. If yuo are going to tether to other phones or tablets, TMO wont make you pay for the service.

You've mentioned that you've flashed various roms... Did they include different kernels? Before sending it for reparation, you could always try a different kernel. Perhaps your mom's wifi problem is kernel related. I'm not saying this the solution, but in my humble opinion it's worth a try before proceeding with the steps above.

Thx u all

Is there are any solution?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cherryaa:
I know this is a really old thread, but it's one of the few relevant search results - so here's an update. You need to have a default browser that can play Flash automatically. The only one that's installed successfully on my 101 g8 is Opera Mobile (not Mini.) Check in Settings that the automatic Flash option is checked. Then navigate to YouTube and play something. If you get an error, reinstall Flash from the Adobe archive. (scroll down to Android 2-3.) Reboot, and you should be good to go.

After this, your YouTube app will work properly. So will your TV apps and suchlike :)

I want to know how to make device as from -for example- US to get extra features for applications, such as Shazam LyricPlay (its only working devices from US, and few other countries).

I have a Nexus 7 tablet too, and I use a custom rom which has US market inside, so I can read books etc whenever I am, and I can use shazam LyricPlay too in my tablet. I want to know hot to achieve same thing for my SGSIII because shazam lyricplay is a cool feature. I have tried market enabler kind applications, fake location applications which didn't work.

Hi.

I realy need help with my S3.

Thing is that when I root it and put a custom ROM, my SD Card starts acting strange: it only shows some files (like photos) on gallery while on pc or any explorer all files are shown. While playing music it often lags ant etc.

I used Paranoidandroid and omega ROMs.

Everything is ok when I unroot it...

I tried everything, formatted in different systems, but still nothing...

I have 32GB Class 10 micro SD

Help please with this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ek530:
Hey guys, does anybody know the location for the stock touchwiz icons. For example i am using the apex launcher and i would like to use dolphin browser as my default browser in the dock on the main screen. However i would like to keep the stock internet icon. I know you can change the icon for the shortcut i just have no idea where it is. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] demarcmj:
I don't believe there is any way to get at them strictly via the file explorer. However, if you download one of the the TouchWiz ROMs on here, you can extract the icons from there and just copy them over to your phone. I believe they're in the framework apk, which you can extract with 7zip or what have you, but I'm not in a position to check right now (not supposed to download random stuff like that on my work computer).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Well the stock Internet apk is located in two files: /system/app/SecBrowser_VZW.apk and system/app/Sec_BrowserVZW.apk.odex

I'm thinking the icon would be in that directory. To be safe, I'd actually download a stock rom and pull the app from there and mess with it. I wouldn't pull it from your current phone just in case you messed something up.

Here is a link to a tutorial I wrote on editing .9.png files. It's part 2 of 3 but the most directly aapplicable to what you are trying to do.

It links up with the other two parts at the top of the post, so if you need to catch up on using some of the tools from part 1, it's right there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ek530:
SOLVED

SlimSnoopOS - Exactly where you said they would be. Followed your instructions and downloaded a TW ROM from XDA. One question though. when i get into SecBrowser_VZW.apk i see that there is a couple different versions of the icon. Would it be best for me to always try and grab the highest resolution one that i can find.

Jarredw - Amazing. Thank you.

Blue6IX - If i understand this correctly, with this guide i can edit the icon from within the apk itself so i don't have to use a custom icon with APEX Launcher? If so that is awesome, im just wondering if it would affect updating of the app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
You'd have to re-add the icon and recompile the .apk file each time it updated.

I mostly threw it here so you could learn how to extract the icon, which someone else did for you while I was typing it up.

Anyways, now you can freely edit icons for any apps you have on the device, at the very least extract all the ones you want to keep around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ek530:
Ya, that's what i figured. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
You could get desktop visualizer and grab the icon from browser app and link it to dolphin browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
Never heard of this, sounds interesting, what is it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
It makes homescreen icons with a custom image or icons from other apps. Can't believe nobody here heard of this. Its how most people theme their homescreen.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
You'll still get charged. Wifi calling uses your TMobile minutes. Don't mistake it for Google voice or voip type
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
That's incorrect. If you call over wifi overseas to the US its as though you are calling from the US. If you call from overseas to another overseas number you are charged international long distance. If you receive a call while overseas you are charged international roaming. Its in plain English on t mobiles website and I've done it.

OP: I suggest flashing a stock ROM (rooted is fine) and call t mobile to get an unlock code so you can use a local Sim if you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Crewchief521:
I called 3 times to confirm and that's what they said, as long as I'm calling to the US I won't be charged. I'll be keeping data off at all times and solely using Wi-Fi.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
That's either driving mode or you messed with the accessibility settings. It's more than likely that you activated Driving Mode which is the notification bar and is very easy to tap accidently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] demarcmj:
Yup, probably driving mode (although I don't know what driving mode is supposed to do other than announce texts/calls)

Comments:

. Thick bezel on the 7" HD.

. No charger included, +$15 to opt-out of ads. In effect, add $25 to price.

. No GPS, ergo no mapping/etc. No SD slot.

. $50 for 4G is for 1st year only, and for AT&T (US) only; it's $15/month thereafter. The cheap 1st year is offset by big jump in unit price (+$200), meaning that you're better off elsewhere if 3/4G is important to you.

. Waiting to see if bootloader is unlockable.

As far as hardware is concerned, it certainly trumps Nexus 7... including price.

Amazon provides superior content... while Google offers the "Android" experience...

For the avg. user that Amazon & Google originally was targeting with Nexus 7.... i think Amazon wins out with content + price.

The Android experience doesn't matter much for the avg. user.... it is mostly about media consumption & the 7 in./8.9in Kindle Fire HD easily trumps Nexus 7 & Google playstore.

It doesn't just have to be 7" vs 7". Some people like to compare the prices as well. Nexus 7 after tax is like 270. 30 dollars more is the 8.9" if you don't get charged tax on amazon. But If you have to have a 7", nexus 7 wins hands down.

This is no iPad killer, far from it.

If you want portability, N7 got it beat, if you want high definition and wider gamut display, it can't touch iPad3's, the list can go on and on, the dual speakers is a gimmick, remind me of BOSE attempting to squeeze big sound outta their wimpy little cubes, it just ain't happening. Plus, If the end user do not have an option to turn off ads, you are essentially buying a portable spamware :cowboy: privacy is going to be a major concern knowing that the device is infested with "offers" and ads that will certainly track, and being displayed, base on your browsing habit, interest, location, etc. I have Amazon Prime but I ain't buying this piece of junk, I'd rather buy a 2nd N7, wait for the iPad mini, or spend the extra $ on the iPad3.
