[Galaxy S III Accessories] adamsuail:
My advice to you..leave the file system as FAT32..i know you puchased the bigger card to save the big Mkv movies and so you might think that

its better to format it using ExtFat !! ya, thats what i did, but i ended up with endless problems.

1- when i creat files on my pc, i cant see them on the cell and vice versa.

2- copying files to the card was way slower with ExtFat.

3-i tried to upgrade to jelly bean..that was the end of all my data, the phone just kept asking me to format the card even when i reverted back to ICS, the PC was not able to read it as well. ..so stay away from ExtFat file system.

[Android General] zanderman112:
I recently was thinking about something, I decided to test it out.

On the Play Store app, you can choose to add a pin number, and make this pin be required to make purchases.

This is a good idea, as we don't want anyone charging our credit cards or carrier bills if our device gets lost/stolen.

However, there is a flaw in this. The aforementioned pin number is stored locally on the device, whilst the credit card info is connected to your google account, and obviously your carrier billing options are stored online.

All someone has to do to be able to make purchases on a supposed secure play store is go to Settings>Applications>All>Google Play Store and click clear data. No more pin.

The fix to this would obviously be that google have the pin be connected to your google account, instead of stored locally on the device.

Reported to Google. PLEASE STAR THE ISSUE! Will help it get to the people that can fix the problem!

[Android General] Quinny899:
I notice this a lot when I update my ROM. Because it doesn't come packaged with gapps (well it wouldn't, it's illegal to do that), the data gets cleared when you reinstall the play store, thus no more pin. As I update daily, I never have the pin for more than one day, which is a major security flaw IMO

[Android General] cccy:
Actually, I believe that function is more of a "Child Lock". The screen lock/wipe is supposedly what prevents stolen phones from being used. In most cases, someone that usually knows your password (Of course, adb enabled phones can have their screen lock disabled). That's usually your kids that use your phone for games, watching videos, etc. That's what the pin is for - blocking them from downloading paid stuff without your knowledge. I suppose Google doesn't think that they would be the ones who will be hacking your phone, and of course, not be the ones who steal your phone.

I've struggled to use my Prime for development. I was seeing complaints from the development environment when trying to deploy my debug application about the folder missing. Looking at the Android sources I saw that the deployment was targeting /data/local/tmp which for some reason had been symlinked to a read-only partition. Removing the symlink fixes my debug deployment, but now I've got another strange issue that I don't know how to resolve. When executing "adb shell", my prompt looks like the following:

uid=2000 gid=2000 groups=1003,1004,1007,1009,1011,1015,1028,3001,3002,3003,3006@android:/system/etc $

It doesn't seem like uid -> name mappings are working for some reason. "ls -l" shows the same lack of uid -> name mappings:

I just flashed the Slimbean JB ROM and I have 2 questions:

Is the Microcell supposed to work with any of the CM JB variants?

Is there a particular issue that kills the battery? ICS battery life was FAR better. And I read many people saying they get great battery.

edit:

In addition to Microcell and battery issues, I also have the following:

The OE Exchange calendar app stops syncing unless I reboot often and this happens even when the browser is working

The WiFi stops connecting to known hotspots unless i reboot often

The 4G will stop connecting for data unless I reboot often but a voice call will go through

Bottom line unless I reboot at least daily, or 2 to 3 times a day there is no way to know if people have emailed, texted or submitted calendar events

When I updated from Slimbean 2.5 to 2.6 I wiped cache/dalvic 3 times.

the rom is not the one that controls the data speeds or 3g or 4g, the radio is, our phone is quad-band and suport T mobile and att networks.

lte is not suported, beside thath all the other networks like. 4g,3g,2g,edge,g, are supoerted.

what the rom does not suport is the data icons, since the venom 2.0.0 base is not from T Mobile Us and is from some kind of rare network in Europe,, 4g icon is not suported, phone will be most of the time in 3g and h icon.

but your data speeds will be the same as 4g, since only the icon is not present in the rom.

[Motorola Atrix 2] paleozord:
I have tried this on both the pure/stock first ICS leak and a custom ROM based upon that leak (ScV7) and in both cases, when I connect my Atrix 2 to the Lapdock 500, it *very* briefly displays the correct Webtop 3.0 welcome screen, and then just abandons that and jumps right into "mirror mode" with the notification bar still at the top as usual, and everything blown up to ridiculous size. Exactly ONCE it went into true Webtop/ICS Tablet mode as it was supposed to (notification bar at bottom), but every time after that it just insists on Mirror mode and doesn't under any circumstances allow me to choose Webtop 3.0, in other words ICS tablet mode.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] paleozord:
This turned out to be related to the "Entitlement Check" which blocked Webtop from starting up. I disabled that check and Webtop now loads correctly.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dwilbur:
I'm having the same issues. What exactly is this "entitlement check" and how do I access it. Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] paleozord:
The entitlement check is a setting built into the AT&T ROM by default to check whether you have permission from your carrier to do things like Wifi and USB Tethering. Why it does this check upon connecting a Webtop accessory I'm not quite sure, but anyway...

Things you will need to disable it:

ES File Explorer (free from play store)

aSQLiteManager (free from play store)

1. Launch ES File Explorer and within its settings, grant it full root permissions (near the bottom of settings, go in and check all four checkboxes).

2. From ES File Explorer navigate upward out of your SD card and onto the root of your device, then go into Data/Data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases

3. Copy the "settings.db" file found there over to your SD card

4. Using aSQLiteManager select "Open Database" and pick that settings.db file on your SD card.

5. Select "settings" from the four tables you are presented with

6. Select "Data" from the top button menu

7. You'll see a long list of crap. Hit PgDn untiul you see line 113 "entitlement_check". Hit Edit and change the value from 1 to 0.

7b. Also go to line 70 "usb_entitlement_check" and change the value from 1 to 0 as well.

8. While you're here, also go to lines 117 and 118 that start with "dun" and change them both from 0 to 1. This is not necessary for Webtop but will enable wifi hotspot tethering.

9. Exit aSQLiteManager, go back into ES File Explorer and this time copy the modified "settings.db" back into the previous/original folder from Step 2, overwriting the old file.

10. Exit ES File Explorer, reboot your device and Webtop should work as expected.

Didn't work :(

Hello everybody.

Well, I must say I have an MB865 (AT&T Branded) quite a long time ago and just a couple of days ago I upgraded to official ICS. Loved it!

But I did not remember that the main reason I rooted my phone when it was in GB it was because wifi tethering. I remember doing something similar with SQLite modifying entitlement_check from 1 to 0, and just doing that It worked.

Now, I see, process is the same, but including now usb_entitlement_check and both lines starting with dun, so I rooted again, and already done that SQLite thing, but it's still not working.

First, I don't know if it's supposed to appear a notification when wifi tethering or usb tethering gets turned on just like it used to be like back in GB, but I'm getting no notification, only when a device "connects to my phone"

I can surf any website from my phone, and devices connecting to it say "connected" but websites don't load, nothing loads. Already tried in PC, Mac, and phones... same to all of them. Did I miss/skip something?
[Motorola Atrix 2] uboat55:
didnt work

Do it as described twice by change line113 from 1 to 0, phone freeze on "rethink possible" screen, must make factory reset. Firmware is 125.en.us 4.0.4 +root (mb865) reason - need for use lapdock 500 in webtop mode when connected over mobile internet connection (will popup message about entitlement check failed then go to mirror mode)

Can provide something for off that check? Maybe must rename field as "disabled"? Or one post on forum say "go to system/app and rename entitlementservice.apk and it's related file. (one other with a similar name) to .bak files and reboot." - which one works correct?
