There seems to be threads around about bypassing the tethering without actually adding it to your plan. Some seems to work, some doesn't. So I'm just gonna post here what works for me. If mods find that it is inappropriate to be posted or what not, you may delete this post. Anyways I'm running a CM10 nightly ROM and I was tethering fine for awhile. It wasn't until recently at Starbucks I was hit with a ADD HOTSPOT TO YOUR PLAN blah blah blah page and I'm like WTF?! Anyways I recently swapped from the 5GB plan to the Unlimited 4G plan so I lost the native tethering from the plan itself. After some searching online I came across a solution (not sure where I saw it anymore but credits to whomever it was).

Step one: Use chrome as browser for device. (Tablet, PC, Laptop, whatever it may be)

Step two: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg Go there and download User Agent Switcher for Chrome. It should install right into Chrome and have a little sign on the top right.

Step three: You could pick the default Android user agent that comes with the application and pages SHOULD load up fine. (Works for me) Unfortunately pages load up in mobile mode, sure you could request desktop mode at the bottom of most pages but that gets annoying. Then there is step four which is optional.

Optional

Step four: You go to settings of the User Agent Switcher, and under the Custom User Agent tab start creating a new User Agent. Fill in the blanks with the first box on the left with what you want to name it. I just named mine Android 4.1. In the second box, enter "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.45 Safari/535.19" without the quotes. The third box should autofill to Chrome, if not put Chrome in there. I picked the option Append for the next box (not sure if it really matters which you pick). Finally for the last box under Indicator Flag, I put AND. Now click Add, and start using this newly created User Agent to browse pages. This way pages seem to load automatically as desktop mode and doesn't seem to flag the T-mobile hotspot message.

This seems to be working fine for me as of the time being. For how much longer I cannot guarantee. I cannot guarantee if it'll start working for everyone either, but I figured I'll share the information. Hopefully this doesn't go too main stream and T-mobile some how fixes it. That's the downside of TOO many people knowing eh? Enjoy!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
lol yeah the workaround was probably spread around since... the sensation days? maybe even mytouch 4g days? it's also found in this pretty large thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1883483.. probably mentioned about 30 times in there.

btw i prefer this user agent switcher https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/lkmofgnohbedopheiphabfhfjgkhfcgf

another note: all the "mac" ones work so you can run CHROME on MAC and it'll work flawlessly.

Another funny thing. Rockmelt, although is based off chrome works completely fine without running user agents.

Windows Chrome and Firefox are blocked by t-mobile.

Heck since I already been mentioning all this...

If you're stuck without a user agent switcher and want to use chrome the manual way to switch it for the page that you're on is

right click > inspect element > settings button (gear icon) (bottom right corner) > overrides tab > check and enable user agent.

You can now download an user agent switcher for chrome on that page... and that page alone

Like whats the use of rom manager? and will it matter if i flash its clockwork mod recovery over the original? will it be safe or brick the device?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Flowbyte:
Totally safe to re flash cwm. It's just a newer version.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] badboy68:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeneva:
hi all...

I can't seem to play any .avi files on my s3? is there a codec that I need to install before I can play it?

thank you...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
What player are you using? MX Player works great.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeneva:
i tried all kinds of players but keep having this message "Sorry, this video cannot be played."
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
What format are the files .

And no AVI is not a format .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srivas95:
Use a different video player like MX?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
Yes use MX Player. Ive been using it myself and had no problems with it.

Most films I download are either .AVI or .FLV and plays files just fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bordikun:
I've been using Stock Video Player and .AVI works just fine. I wonder why it's not working on your phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brendan802:
Let me guess you use es file explorer?? If so clear the data of es then try it again and it will work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeneva:
MX player doesn't work for me..

I'm not too sure about the format. Even when I converted the.avi file to .mp4 which S3 should be able to play, it still doesn't. Is this due to my CF-Root?

stock video player didn't work as well..

nope. I'm using Root Explorer..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiahnlliya:
Stupid question maybe, but have you tried many different videos? Because I too have encountered some files I've downloaded that just would not play while others (from the same download) play fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeneva:
yup.. all video files cannot run...

can anyone here help? thank u so much!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Something wrong with your video files is my guess ..If you dont know the format how do you know SGS3 can play this unknown format ??

You can try backing up data and factory resetting .

You could also try formatting the sd card and starting again .

Or you could update your firmware .

Or return to service centre .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onetimepostmaster:
I was having the same problem and after turning off USB debugging my videos play perfectly now
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermacwins:
a. bad video file

b. try dice player
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Why did you have it on in the first place ????
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onetimepostmaster:
are you trolling me or something? Because I was going to be flashing my phone soon that's why.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
In which case may i suggest you read the faqs and guides first .

As USB Debugging should not be ON .

Dont want you bricking your phone through ignorance .

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/oct/09/htc-suffers-crash-quarterly-profits

Words of wisdom from their CEO.

HTC will only comment when its audited results are published, but an email sent by the chief executive, Peter Chou, to employees in August urged staff to "kill bureaucracy". He complained: "We have people in meetings and talking all the time but without decision, strategic direction and sense of urgency."
[HTC One X] andy1969:
most company's are struggling in this present worldwide climate of recession and slow growth forcasts so its no major suprise really.

as with apple they want to take over the world there latest ios 6 and apple iphone 5 to be frank are crap.
[HTC One X] obsydian:
I guess my slant was just taking Jellybean and all prior updates coupled with the bureaucracy comment from their CEO, maybe explains (as well as HTC Sense being more involved) why these guys are so s-l-o-w.

I think a 79% crash is far worse than the general industry.
[HTC One X] H-Streety:
Problem with HTC is the fact that they release too many low-cost handsets which don't sell very well and so they lose money quickly. I can't believe that they can't see this.

Also, another thing that's bad with HTC is the support for handsets. I bought Sensation XL back in June, sold it this week because tthey didn't confirm JB for it. I mean, it has been released in December 2011, not even a year of support for £400 handset?
[HTC One X] TheBrilliantMistake:
There's not enough money in the high end handsets, they need massively high volumes of low to mid tier handsets. Unfortunately that's devalued their brand and image too.

When they first started to shine... with the HTC Diamond (yes, they made plenty of devices beforehand, but that was the first consumer 'wow' phone). they were innovative. Sadly for 6 years they failed to capitalise on that, and massively let down their consumers with the 'Sense' hub that was cancelled (even thought they sold phones based on that feature).

Their industrial design was really nice with the Diamond too... a great balance of sophisticated and sexy (with their glowing circle etc).

They need to get back to basics... 1 Low, 1 Mid, 1 High tier - 3 devices. Forget the many variants.

It can't 'match' the competition, it has to better them by some margin.

It needs to ditch Sense, OR introduce a brand new Sense that puts 'sexy' back into the UI.

When was the last time a HTC owner truly wanted to show off their phone to friends, knowing they'd be impressed? They've lost the WOW.

But one bright thing in their favour. Samsung, Sony and Apple haven't managed to achieve 'WOW' yet. Great devices, yes, but not 'WOW'
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
They are still profitible and have plenty of cash in the bank so it's not as if their teetering on the edge. But investors and analysts are getting tired of each quarter seeming to accelerate their downward slide. With the One X+, XV, and 8X on AT&T and the illusive DLX on VZW they have a chance to really move some volume in the 4th quarter because of the size of those two carriers. If with all those major devices launching they don't see some improvement I expect them to be a merger or acquisition candidate early next year. Things can't continue as they are.
[HTC One X] junialum:
It is the trend that is worrying. Like it or not Samsung has the Android mindshare. HTC have themselves to blame may it be business decisions or management issues. HTC was Android's top manufacturer in the early days.

When people think Android, they think Samsung now. It could be better publicity, marketing, global image, or even court battles, etc.

I will pick up HTC, not samsumg, i dont like to spend my money in cheap plastic, low benchmarks phones like sg3

Htc is a billion dollar company making pinuts , I don't agree it's still profitable,when you deal with share holders. Loans ,there would be nothing left from the 100 Millions they made , HTC is like a million dollar company making 100 dollars and yet we're calling it profitable ,next 80% drop there wouldn't be anything to be profitable about
[HTC One X] dragonesdenano:
The problem is that htc dont feed me, dont give money, so... What s the point to talk about if htc make money or not, at least u r a sammy boy, really have no sense to talk about others money, just talk about how wonderful will be the best phone in earth with official jelly bean. I was right, next year sammy galaxy will be competing with LG. I told U. But well... Dont give up sammy, keep selling cheap, ugly designed phone with low bench, i forgot, sg boots in 10 secs, who cares.

Maybe the $2k from S-Off bounty thread could help them out a little lol
[HTC One X] hamdir:
why is this thread being bumped

they still make profits, better than tons of other mega companies

grow up!
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Being profitible isn't open to debate; it's black and white. If after paying all their bills and servicing any debt they have a $100 left they're profitible. That also means their cash flow positive (not drawing on reserves to cover expenses). That's obviously not a great position for a multi-billion dollar global company but as Mark Twain said - "rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Not suprised, it'll be all the bloody HOX's they've had to replace.

LAWL
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
tbh im not that suprised, i had enough of the htc one x, not lasting the day - unable to change the battery and having to carry around a seperate charger that i kept forgetting to charge,

Ive owned htc devices since xda days and they have always been to me the best phones around imho, hackabilty without losing warrenty was also a big bonus which always extended the life of the handset.

the one x is the the first htc phone ive owned ive not hacked, after having a dhd fail after 1.5 years i was worried about losing the warrenty.

I think thats where htc are going wrong, samsung have an excellent range of hackable devices (ok touch wiz is crap and superamoled is still infantacy) but the phones have some really cool features that would make the one x and the rest of the line shine - removable battery being foremost in my mind. Being able to change leds, fonts asigning keys all without having too root is what is making the difference between the two manufactors to the end users like us.

Sense is nice and polished but has become stale over time and locked down, getting a new phone with htc isnt the wow factor any more, htc need to bring that back - having to wait for months unless you voided your warrenty to remove the 3 dot menu button made the phone a joke.

i personally wish htc all the best for the future and hope they sort themselves out on future products - getting a nexus line would be a cool advancement, but i think they willl carry on making the same mistakes year in year out.

they need to be reminded they are not apple and cannot lock the devices down to a android community, thats whats coming back to bite them at this time.
[HTC One X] dragonesdenano:
Wooow, again our hox forum full of trolling samy boys, so Hox keeps on the top.

Why hox owners dont go to sg3 forums? Cause there is no need.

Why samy boys come here? :cool:

I will told u why, cause hox is the best phone in earth, not matter what u wanna troll.

I love my gaming hox. Tegra games, sony psmobile games, well... You know, its not samsung, it s HTC. :thumbup:

Don't be so small minded, I'm not trolling but stating why I think HTC is having issues after OWNING THE HOX for quiet some time, so any word said against HTC is trolling, good luck with that.

Yeah, funny.

Hox is the best phone in earth and everytime we, hox users, are waiting for updates or good news, well, post like this suddenly appears. Nothing new under the sun.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dapaua:
This is a small script to control leds on xperia u.

You will need root and busybox.

Instructions. Unzip, Put it in /system/bin , give it execution permissions (555, for example) and run it in a terminal.

Do not install it with CWM.

Use it as

blink [led] [intensity]

led list: red, green, blue, red1, green1, blue1, red2, green2,blue2,red3,blue3,green3

the ones without number are the small led next to the power button. Numbers are the notification bar, from left to right.

intensity goes from 0 to 255

0 stops blinking.

I use it with tasker for many things.

If you just use it with no arguments, it makes the power green led to blink. If you give no intensity, it uses 50.

You need to be root, so if you are using this on the terminal or adb, type "su" first.

For tasker, mark the "use root" box.

Examples:

blink red2 - makes the middle led on the bar blink red.

blink red2 0 - stops the blinking for middle red led.

blink green3 255 - blinks green right led, max power.

blink blue1 200; blink red1 - makes left led blink in a bluish violet.

You can of course modify the script to match your needs. All the info was extracted from this forums, so I cannot say that I did anything new, just put the script together.

Note1: The blink speed seems random ,sometimes is faster, and sometimes it is slower. If anyone knows how to control it, please tell me and I will try to add it to the program. Sometimes it is so slow that it does not work.

Note2: Leds-u-ctrl allows you to use the ambient bar for notifications, and it is a very nice program. If you find this too complicated, you may try that. I am not related in anyway to LUC developer.

------------

Edit : I added version 2.

New command: solid. Works as blink, but with solid light. Same syntax.

New command:ledset .

ledset [option]

options:

fadeon : sets fade to on for led blinking

fadeoff: sets fade to off for led blinking

baroff : turns off all notification bar leds

alloff : turns off all notification and power leds

Copy to /system/bin ,give permissions as usual.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
Regarding Note1: the blinking speed depends fully on the CPU load and speed at that moment.

Since the CPU governor's system default is flexible the speeds tends to vary.

The only way I've found up till now (and included in LUC) is to temporarily change the governor.

The downside is that the cpu speed is changed for the whole system, not only the shell script.

Regarding Note2: thanks :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kandros:
Looks really interesting, will give it a try with tasker
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jitin02:
It works untilj unless you don't touch the buttons (home/back/options) the color you set goes away but the white blink still keeps

Btw. In sys/class/led/device. There is file use soft dim (something like that) it helps the blinks to in away softly and come back softly. Can you tell/guide what line com where should I add to your script ?? Or can do it for me??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dapaua:
Hi, yes, I know. That cannot be fixed because sony's framework for lighting the bar interferes with the script. I use it only when the screen is off, and I turn the led off when the screen is on.

I played a bit with the file dim_brightness, but couldn't figure how it works. But if you have any information, tell me and I will add it to the script.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mitchio:
I think some good additions would be solid lights: "solid red2 50" for eg. and a way of turning all lights off in one go, maybe putting in "rgb123 0".
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jitin02:
Hi

Sorry didn't mentioned the full name of the file. its> pattern use softdim

Its in sys/class/led//device. Here from the last its the 4th file

I can tell u what to add. Will try explain you how I came to know about it

Leave the script for a sec(Coz it don't do anything to the original files in the above mentioned folder. )

Just set the value of any of the led file use_pattern manually to 1. Than set the value of the same led file pattern use softdim

See if understood or get it. Otherwise let me know I will try make video of what it does to show it.

I really want it happen successfully as I am fan of it from the day fourth of after bought this phone, (as fourth day of buying it I was playing with it manually . Will be great if works

Btw its only ics that don't let the leds blink but on gb this interference don't happens

They blink the way you set it until you don't restart the phone

But nixx-x1 helped me keep the settings even after starting with a small script on gb. But ICS don't even let that too work
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
It doesnt work as it should but could you make police type blink option.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dapaua:
The idea is that with this you can program your own patterns. I'm not going to do the patterns, but I will post an example for a police light. It's not perfect, but should give you an idea about how to do this:

#!/system/bin/sh
ledset alloff
for a in `seq 100`
do
solid blue1 0 ; solid blue3 0 ; solid red1 100 ; solid red3 100;
usleep 100000
solid red1 0 ; solid blue1 100 ; solid red3 0; solid blue3 100;
usleep 100000
solid red1 100 ; solid red3 100; solid red2 100; solid blue2 100; solid green2 100; solid blue1 0 ; solid blue3 0;
usleep 100000
solid red1 0 ; solid blue1 100 ; solid red2 0; solid green2 0 ; solid blue2 0 ;solid red3 0; solid blue3 100;
usleep 100000
done
ledset alloff

Save it as police, put it in /system/bin/ and give the permissions.

You will need version 2 that I just posted.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dapaua:

Police script does not work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dapaua:
It works for me. I'll attach it here. Probably it is because you edited it in windows, and you used windows endlines.

I'll attach it here, just copy it to /system/bin and give permissions as in first post.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
Here is output.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jitin02:
Still wondering wat would be the command for the police script to work
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
1. copy all files from V2.zip (first post) into /system/bin/

2. copy police script into /system/bin/

3. change permission of those 4 files you just copied to 555 (or just check all boxes)

4. go to a shell emulator and type " police " (without quotes)

then you have your phone siren blinking :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dapaua:
You need busybox installed. Get the installer from play store, use normal install.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
Rainbows

For those liking rainbows, I've edited the rainbow scripts used in LUC a bit to be used in the same way as the blink scripts

Just extract the .zip attached and copy it with the other files in /system/bin and set the execute.

There are 3 sequences in it:

RB1 = fade in sequence

RB2 = loop sequence

RB3 = fade out sequence

You can also set a slowdown factor in msec.

If you don't want to slow it down use value " 0 ".

I found that slowdown factors up to 50000 still work smoothly (it will take a minute to finish thou..)

Commands

rainbow [slowdown] [sequence] [sequence] [sequence]

Example

rainbow 1000 RB1 RB2 RB2 RB3

This will fade in the rainbow, loop it 2 times and fade it out.

at the moment it's possible to have 6 loops (so 8 sequences in total)

If you use less you'll get a few "1000: not found"... those can be ignored :rolleyes:

Perhaps daPaua knows a way to have the input dynamic instead of fixed :confused:
