So, ah ya. Bonehead things happen to all of us.

I am running a personal Kang that I have been using for some time now. Works almost flawlessly for me and only occasionally do I get a hiccup, which most of the time I can recover from. Today, I am not sure if I am overly tired or what, but I had an issue with my data.

I was on Wifi looking through some threads today at lunch and my wife called. Wifi kicked off and mobile turned on so I could talk to her. Once the convo was over, I hung up and BSOD. No big deal, I just rebooted and put my phone in my pocket as I went to get lunch. I get back to my desk to listen to a podcast at work and I have no data. Pissed me off.

I could send/receive texts, make calls, but no market, Tapatalk, Internet. Went to TMo site to see if there was any alert. Nothing. Called my wife to see if she has data. Solid, 4 bars. So it must be my phone. Booted into recovery and wiped /cache and /dalvik to see if maybe that would work. Nothing. Went to settings to make sure I had my IMEI (which I did) but I had no phone number and was disconnected. So, I thought I would check the APN. Still on TMobile. But wait, what is that I see? Somehow my Data Enabled had become unticked. So I ticked it and guess what. Data came back.

Sometimes, it is just that simple. Sometimes, we overthink things too dang much. Just a funny story for the afternoon for you about overcoming panic and figuring out what was wrong by troubleshooting the problem piece by piece.

I was thinking about starting a thread about it, but if I were me, I'd lock it anyways (lol), so I just posted here. ;)

Think I saw you ask this in the other thread and I was patiently waiting for a good answer to remove it lol. I still have it there doing nothing but staring at me driving me nuts. Did you ever find a good way to get rid of it? We would probably have to have a dev show us how to uncook it from the ROM if there is such a word lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
Re: SGH-T999 Galaxy S III Off Topic Thread!

I explained this before a few pages back, you can't unless you can decompile the apk and edit it then recompile it. You can remove the app itself and that link won't work anymore but like he said its hard coded in so unless he wants to remove it himself its not gonna happen. All it is though is a front end link to an app in system to make it easy to use, just go into system app and delete it and reboot then just don't select it.

Re: SGH-T999 Galaxy S III Off Topic Thread!

Yeah if figured the don't select it part out after removal of the app itself. Would be nice if he removed it or didn't put it in at all but I guess that is what makes it his brand. Still love the ROM in and out. I've never used from romtoolbox, so for me to want it out without knowing what it does in the first place is a little hypocritical but I did read it conflicts with other apps.

Re: SGH-T999 Galaxy S III Off Topic Thread!

You see, since I want to get into developing I wanted to re-write the xml file but idk if thats correct because I never found a real tutorial on how to remove a non used setting.

But to answer you're question yes I did find a way, :)

A fellow xda told me the simplest way was since I was on v9 darthstalker already, I downloaded v8 (which does not have darthmods and settings.) Then I extracted, went into system then took out the secsettings apk*********... then pushed it while I deleted the v9 secsystems... then i rebooted and abraaaaaa kadabra!!!!!!.....

:) problem solved

Or in another way.

Extract secsystem.apk from v8 then put to sd card... go into a file manager and find the secsettings.apk for v9********and delete it, then move v8 apk from sd to the original spot where the v9 was.. then a reboot and you're good to go my friend. . Any more help im glad to

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_F_Word:
Re: SGH-T999 Galaxy S III Off Topic Thread!

If u have the v8 zip on you're comp. You must extract the zip first to a folder ( make a temp folder on you're desktop) and extract there. Once in, there u will see the system folder then locate the app folder and you will see it. then transfer to you're phones storage

Secsettings.apk <---- sorry about that

Re: SGH-T999 Galaxy S III Off Topic Thread!

Most devs that release here as far as roms go put things like this not to drive people like you nuts but to learn as much as they can till they either graduate to app development or just burn out which tends to be the case mostly.

In either case its usually the users that push devs to the point of quitting because they don't understand this and can't get over one feature that was added and feel the need to complain about it everywhere, why can't that just be it and except it for what it is or even try using it and give it a chance. Your reading replies from other people and condemning it when the dev you obviously trust found it worthy enough to put it in.

Re: SGH-T999 Galaxy S III Off Topic Thread!

I was a huge HTC fan. I loved the nexus one and mt4g. Then I got the HTC amaze and felt like I got dooped. It had great specs, best camera I ever had in a phone, but was poo'd on in build quality. It was thick... Heavy... Had light bleed from the capacitive keys, a squeaky back cover, unique Texas Instruments made wifi drivers with a patented source that took forever to get released, late on updates and the updates were never the latest (sense 3.6 android 4.0.3 vs sense 4 android 4.0.4). Thank god for the developers that were able to make the phone fun to play with...

Then I got the One S. And it was only an upgrade because of the solid build quality. Camera was worse, no SD, no removable battery, wasn't faster, few new features, tampered bootloader etc. Then mrmako777 told me to send it in for buyers remorse and get the s3... I haven't looked back and likely won't touch HTC again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
Re: SGH-T999 Galaxy S III Off Topic Thread!

I still have all of mine, the wife has the One S now but I didn't realize how bad the One S was till I got this one. All phones should work like these do really but now that Im happy do I rock the boat and look towards what comes out in this years line up from any carrier.

I still catch myself staring at it from time to time I honestly can't see going any other direction than Samsung.

i personally love HTC, partly because it is a Taiwanese company and i'm from Taiwan (country pride w00t).

but i also love HTC for their build quality, something not found on Samsung devices. true, it might make HTC devices a bit heavier and bulkier, but the build quality makes the phone feel much more durable. honestly i don't think HTC Sense is bad, maybe a bit too heavy and such, but not bad at all, it's a very nice UI, very creative. i used to hate Samsung because their old TouchWiz UI looked just like the iPhone. i swore never to get another Samsung device again after getting the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (original)...and here i am with a Galaxy S III lol.

to be honest, the S III was the device that changed my view of Samsung. i didn't think much when the Galaxy S II came out, i thought it looked like it did before. but after seeing the Galaxy S III release, i was very impressed. Samsung finally decided to step up and get creative, which was the thing i loved with HTC. however much you hate Sense, you have to admit...at least they didn't make it look like iOS.

just two cents from a Taiwanese loving his country :p

Ok its real time, I love touchwiz, and sense was kinda cool the reason I liked it was because cmods had a couple bugs while sense was more on the stable side but man does sense look ugly like the phone just got beat up by an ugly stick. Like I loved it the first hour or so, the more I looked at it the more mad I got lol the only part to sense I loved was the camera apk :)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
I dont think flashing kernels.via recovery do anything. I did flash a modem.via recovery and that did trip the counter(I think it did anyway) I just used triangle away and like a charm back to zero.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Fwiw, I have had my flash counter up to 15 before. Used TA and back to 0.

I have not run official JB, but I was reading somewhere that there is some exploit that is leaving the counter at 1 no matter what you do. There are a few of us looking into this lately, so hopefully there will be a patch. Or Chainfire will fix it before we even figure out what it is we are looking for.

I have run every single ROM we have, except official JB. Haha. Had my GS3 rooted within 30 mins of getting it home and never looked back.

It could have been a kernel which tripped it, either way its not that big of a deal. At least this isn't HTC where we will always show evidence of unlocking via htc dev, and for many devices (if not most devices) S-off is not available

People posting "thanks" and "I love this ROM" or asking for why their rom isn't working right after they installed mods and customizations to their rom and the issue is not ROM related... Development threads used to be for developers and/or members with development knowledge to offer or logcats to show true bugs. Dev threads are a clusterfu*k of junk posts.

I am guilty of such things but its annoying when you have 3 pages of "does Bluetooth work" or "the camera doesnt work?" Sometimes someone's off topic point/question can be useful like oh this doesn't work I guess all in moderation. What I see is people being to lazy to even look up a few post above theirs and read....

My all time biggest pet peve is "how do I root" right in the middle of a ROM post.If you can't root a Samsung Phone which is one of the easiest phones root(please Samsung don't follow HTC lead)with no locked boot loaders or any hoops to jump through then you need not be concerned with flashing custom ROMs as you will probably just brick your phone
