the only relevant security for NFC is that you have to be within 1 INCH (maybe 1.5" if you REALLY line it up right)

if your close enough to be a threat to my security with NFC your also close enough for me to be a very relevant and serious threat to your physical safety as I "investigate" why your lining a phone up within 1 inch of my phone in my pocket.

SO security? non issue. period.

and anyway in the future it should not be hard for dev's to enable whitelisting so only "certain things" can be done without user interaction.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
this was an issue with cards before the feature even came to the phones... you never had to turn on your nfc debit card, why don't THEY have security issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
because THE RANGE IS ONE INCH

if your close enough to scan it that by definition means you have physical possession of it which means security is irrelevant. :)

this is not like bluetooth that you can pump up the power and fine tune a receiver and do it from 30ft away. or even 10ft.

1 inch. less distance than the length of your pinky finger.

again if they are that close there are OTHER issues at play folks :) hehehe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] samevo:
Yes it does work. I have used it on stock lk8 for my sprint note 2 and am now running it on macksrom working as well lockscreen and screen off. The guy who made the module updated it like 3 days ago for the new 2.0 xposed installer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelav456:
This.

It's working perfectly for me on paranoid android. I have the option to easily make it work with screen off, it screen on but still locked, or turn off the mod completely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
it didn't work for me and I just did it today...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
ohhhh will try that right now I tried the rc2 verison. not the new 2.0 version. BRB

that is a negative. on LJC the NFC module (the new 1.1 version) does NOT work.

ALTHOUGH it does now work from lock screen (both settings) but NEITHER setting works "screen off"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Not working for me either. Do you have a copy of the 2.0 apk? the one on the website is from 12/29 and is version 1.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] samevo:
I wonder if its because I still have lk8 modem while im running an ljc rom. I used garwynn's l900errfixljc.zip so I could get back to ljc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] samevo:
Nerys71 have u gone into the nfc lockscreen off apk and changed the settings to work on screen off? See my attachment
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
been there done that. still doesnt do what it promises.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
I think I'm in the same boat, although I'm not too sure about the details. I flashed the miui rom and I'm now I'm on whompasarus. My baseband says lk8 but it's 4.1.1. What's the fuss about not being able to go back?

Anyway, I flashed the zip you suggested and still doesn't work. I wonder if it is because you have a newer apk that isn't on the website, or got pulled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
yep same here. EITHER selection results in it working lockscreen (which is more than it did before) but will NOT work screen off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
I don't even get working lockscreen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
mine only works on lockscreen with powered nfcs "such as a wallet enabled pay device" but doesn't work on lockscreen with unpowered nfc "such as nfc tags" and neither works with the screen off
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelav456:
Fwiw, xposed mod works perfectly for screen off for me for both powered and non powered nfc tags. I'm running paranoid android alpha 3. Worked on alpha 2 too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aramova:
Where do you get a copy of the 2.0 apk?

Hi

I'm trying to get wifi tethering going on my new Galaxy S3 (T999) but not having much luck.

I'm using a T-mobile branded phone, but am using it with Mobilicity in Canada.

-When I use the setting to toggle wifi hotspot on, it just immediatly toggles off.

- Tried Wifi Tether for Root Users but no networks show up on the other device.

-Tried 1 click wifi tether and it kind of worked. The network showed up on the other device, but when I tried to load a webpage, it couldn't do it. Not sure if any data is getting through.

I am rooted, but am using stock firmware (T-mobile Jelly Bean)

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dr.devman:
I know CM10 wife tethering works out of the box. Try it! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] warlock257:
Changing the rom might be a bit severe, but I could try it.

It would be nice to get rid of all that T-mobile stuff on there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] warlock257:
Any other ideas how to get tethering working?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
Tmo block tether on jelly bean no matter you're rooted or not. It doesn't work on mine either. but there is a way around. look it up in another thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] warlock257:
Thanks for the reply. I tried it again on another device and it is working with 1 click teather. My transformer Prime works, it's my PS Vita that doesn't. Oh well, I can live with that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ns0mn1a:
hey everyone,

first of all this is my first post and im new to this so please bear with me

I just bought a T-Mobile SGH-T889 Samsung Galaxy Note II running on Android 4.1.1 with build # JRO03C.T889UVALJ1

I am having some troubles connecting my phone to my computer via the the included usb cable

whenever I connect try to connect my phone to the computer, it would search for updates to install drivers but it would always say that the driver software was not installed due to no drivers found. from what I understand, they should be Samsung drivers but for some reason, mine says:

Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM X No driver found

Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM X No driver found

I did several searches on the forums but have yet to find a solution or driver for my phone. please help!

I have looked into this thread but the driver provided for the root kit is for Samsung V 1.5.9.0

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OwenW71:
Welcome to the forum!

I'd say to try uninstalling any Samsung drivers from your pc, then restart it. Go to the Samsung site and download the latest USB drivers. The ones provided in the kit usually work, and I'm not sure the ones on the site are any newer.

Once that is done, if you are still having problems, try a different USB cable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdkinc:
I had similar issues all I did was Change to another USB port.

Also I did a complete shutdown of the PC & phone not just a reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ns0mn1a:
thanks for the quick replies

I have tried several times or rebooting both the phone and the computer after installing the drivers but to no avail...

I have also tried changing to all the different usb ports on my computer but still no luck

I will try to find another cable in the house to see if that will work.

Will the samsung usb drivers work though? because i have tried those several times, the ones from the root kit as well as the ones from the samsung website but it still doesnt detect it. Are there qualcomm drivers available?

some other information that I forgot to mention earlier, I am running Windows 7 64-bit

sometimes when I connect the phone to the pc, it would load up this driver --> Qualcomm HS-USB Modem 9004 Driver

but then when i disconnect it, it wont detect it again...

a solution im thinking is maybe i should reset the phone to factory default settings? would that help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OwenW71:
For whatever reason, your pc is not recognizing the phone correctly. Can I ask, have you installed drivers for another phone on that pc in the past? What flavor of Windows are you running? Are you up-to-date? Have you tried disabling your firewall temporarily? Finally, try booting up in safe-mode and connecting the phone. That should let you see what it thinks your phone is when no drivers are installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ns0mn1a:
I had a Blackberry before but I had already removed all the software and drivers for it before getting the note 2 and I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and they are up to date. I will try disabling my firewall and safe mode once i get home.

I re-read the tool-kit instructions and noticed i missed something. Am I supposed to put the phone into download or recovery mode before connecting the USB to the computer (after installing the USB drivers)?

I will have to try that once i get home as well... but I still dont understand why it shows up as qualcomm drivers instead of Samsung drivers

anyways thanks for the suggestions I will let you know how it turns out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dawgneck:
This problem is likely due to Samsung's USB cable, as noted in other threads.

Change the usb cable before trying anything else....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ns0mn1a:
ok so i got the drivers to install finally...what i did was boot the phone in to download mode then connect the phone to my computer via usb cable and it worked...but for some reason it doesnt detect it when i launch the rootkit it does not detect my serial number

If i restart my phone normally, and then try to detect the phone again on the computer it will not detect it and goes back to saying the qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM is missing drivers again...

So the only way for it to detect the drivers is in download mode but i cant seem to get the rootkit to detect my phones serial number
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ns0mn1a:
EDIT: another question...so once i have the drivers installed, am i supposed to reboot the phone back normally (not download mode) for it to detect the serial number?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquagene:
I've noticed since 4.2, any kind of grey popup overlay (such as menus and installing apps) has a weird banding effect either in the middle of the dialog or in the bottom right. Does anyone else have this problem? Was initially worried it was my screen, but I'm able to screenshot it, so I'm guessing it's a software side glitch. I have two imgur links of screenshots illustrating the problem, but can't link it since I haven't hit 10 posts yet.

Hello everybody

I have a Galaxy Ace, Rom droidACEv2.1 (very good by the way) and the GPS takes a while to fix satellites. I've tried all the procedures mentioned in this forum (and elsewhere) but the result was always the same. I decided to try and delete the file gps.conf, and... everything works perfectly (maybe even a faster fix ...). Is this normal? Does the file gps.conf serve for nothing?

thank you

Press Thanks button if helped. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kitex1:
Sorry, my mistake. In fact, there are two /etc folders:

/etc (were I delete de file gps.conf and nothing happened;

and /system/etc (and here, the gps.conf makes the difference and the tweaks sugested in this forum really worked).

Thank you

So the Slimport adapter for the N4 looks identical to the MHL adapter I have for my SG3. What is the difference? I been thinking about trying the MHL adapter when I get home.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
I read somewhere that slim port has the chip in the cable whereas mhl has it inside the device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinay427:
Also, SlimPort apparently supports the possibility of an analog (eg. VGA) connection, while MHL only supports HDMI/DVI and similar.

Here's the link: http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/nexus-4-boasts-slimport-support/

As it says, the DVI, DisplayPort, and VGA adapters aren't available yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RailsRanger:
I'm working on installing Ubuntu to my prime using the thread i linked below, but for part of that i need to go into my prime via desktop Ubuntu command line. The issue i'm having is that when i plug into my desktop using the USB cable, Ubuntu won't recognize my Prime and i can't move files back and forth.

The thread says to install the naked drivers (which i downloaded), but the instructions were only for windows machines. From what I can tell Ubuntu doesn't have a "Device Manager" where I could use to manually install drivers.

I've done Google searches, and searched XDA for the past week or so and I haven't come across anyone having this similar issue while using Ubuntu. If anyone can shed some light on my situation I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

How to install Ubuntu on transformer prime: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1603921
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:
Try uninstalling the drivers from your machine then reinstalling the basic Asus drivers by plugging the Prime in. If that doesn't do it then I'll have to load up my Ubuntu parition and see if I can debug with you that way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
In my experience, you do not need to download any drivers to access your Prime from an Ubuntu PC -- the naked drivers are strictly a Windows thing from what I remember. You need to set up the 51-android.rules file in the /etc/udev/rules folder. And, you may or may not need to make an entry in adb_usb.ini (I believe this file is in a hidden folder) -- try it without first. If you do a little research on 51-android.rules, you will see that this is quite easy. And, the vendor and device numbers you need to plug into 51-android.rules can be obtained by typing lsusb at the terminal command line, with your Prime plugged into the PC. You also need to have debugging turn on under Developer Options in Settings. After you change the 51-android.rules file, you need to log off and log back on, so it gets run (there is another way to run it, but I do not remember how). I am away from my Prime and Ubuntu machine, but can get you further details later, if you cannot figure it out from the above information.

(P.S.) Giving you the path and file names from my memory. They are probably correct ... at least they are very close to being correct.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RailsRanger:
So, I wrote the 51-android.rules file like you suggested but I still can't access most files on my prime. When I tell it to connect as a camera i can view picutres, but when it connects as MTP I still get nothing.I looked in the /dev directory to see if i could find my SD card to continue on with the Ubuntu installation, but no luck there either.Your suggestions have been helping though, i'm getting closer. Thanks to both of you who replied so far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
51-android.rules is really for giving you access to your TFP with adb and other Linux commands in Terminal (Android Debugging must be enabled under Developer Options for this to work). 51-android.rules has nothing to do with PTP (camera) or MTP, as far as I know. I really do not know what you are trying to do, or at least how you are trying to do it, so it is difficult to suggest anything. If you are just trying to copy files to the TFP, you may have better luck with Windows than Linux. I'm pretty sure that most of the TFP's file system does not show up in the Linux File Browser, when plugged in to a USB port (only PTP & MTP work, as far as I know ... both are limited).

There are many users on this site who can help you, if you explain exactly what you are trying to do.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rullean:
Hi,

I am currently on the .587 firmware, kernel mesa 2.2 and stock rom... was wondering if I can easily go back to GB?

What steps do I need to take? can I just flash immediately a GB rom? or do I have to flash a GB kernel, then flash a GB rom? or do I have to go down a firmware?

Thanks...

:highfive:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sandy7:
simple just flash a GB kernel and a flash a GB rom

This looks very promising installing right now....
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hanthesolo:
Nice job, i'm looking forward to using the first non-stock build of 4.2. Which version of the toolchain did you compile with?

I was not aware that the 4.2 GAPPS had dropped yet, when did this occur?

EDIT: I just saw that it was self-created. Nice job, if it works! I'm trying to get AOSP to work on the TF101, so it would be nice if these GAPPS flash successfully.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sparksco:
The GCC version of the toolchain is 4.6 which supports strict-aliasing. There's not really much difference between linaro's 4.6 and Google's 4.6 toolchains. The compiler flags are where the optimizations come from. Other than that as far as features the ROM is stock. The kernel is based on bricked kernel but I updated it with Google's 4.2 kernel. As far as gapps I'm not sure if they'll work on other tablets/devices since it's made for the nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sparksco:
Looks like I put the stock kernel in the ROM instead of mine by accident I'll fix that here shortly :x
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hanthesolo:
I see, that would make sense, I've been playing around with Linaro lately, and the potential performance increase is pretty nice, provided that you compile with the right flags.

As for your rom, it flashed and booted just fine, so no worries about that. To be honest, I see almost no improvement in performance over stock, but that is probably due to the fact that it's built on the same base, and grouper is already extremely fast, which is not the worst problem to have :). Overall, congrats on the first build, and i'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out!

One final question: Did you compile the kernel with linaro? If so, whhich flags did you use, and did you go with -o2 or -o3? I've heard conflicting reports about the benefits of both.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sparksco:
The kernel info is on the first post.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hanthesolo:
Yes, I know that, but you never say which toolchain you used, or the compile options, and I was curious.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sparksco:
The kernel uses -O2 and the ROM uses strict-aliasing as stated in the title and first post. Everything is on my github... It all uses GCC 4.6 to compile just like stock jellybean. The linaro patches for everything can be found on their git on the link that's in the first post and also on my github.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] hanthesolo:
Thank you very much for the info. I do realize that the rom was compiled with linaro, and the patches therein, I was simple curious about the kernel, and did not know if you used the same toolchain or not (some don't). I apologize for the confusion.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thalarek:
Looks like the real deal.. dwl now... Will report back:) thanks for your hard work.

This ROM is really nice. Smooth and clean.

I did add a couple things however such as the non-AOSP Google keyboard with swipe. The non-AOSP Google calendar and gallery as well for picasa syncing. Also copied over the stock nexus 7 boot animation as well :D other then that all is awesome!

Oh and flashed m kernel a13, and changed the model name in build.prop (wasn't really necessary :P )
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sparksco:
Thanks. Yeah the gapps I did really quickly last night so if you find better ones until I can update fixes for these ones that would be your best bet. Swype on the keyboard and calendar sync appears to be broken in these gapps.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] opz187:
So when will this be updated with the new ROM/kernel?

Hi all.

Today I flash the new "Stock deodexed and rooted XXLSA" by eyebee, yet I accidentally messed up my phone so now it has gone soff-bricked. I can't not access to my SD card since it keeps saying "E: cannot mount sdcard", so I have no way to re-flash the rom using CWM, at least from my knowledge.

I try to use PC Odin to re-flash it but I have no clue how to use it 'cause I have never used PC Odin before. I really appreciate anyone shows me the way to unbrick my phone. I'm on Philz cwm6 kernel.

Thank you so much.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
what did you do to mess it up?

download stock rom and pc odin

extract the rom to tar.md5 file and select it in the pda tab.

put the phone in download mode, vol dwn+pwr+home then vol up

connect to PC using cable. check if the box on the left goes yellow. If ok then start.

Wait for it to finish.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

May I ask what do you mean by "If you chose ics rom. Do not wipe"? Does it mean if I choose a ICS stock then I must not do a full wipe after I flash the rom?

Many thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyam:
Yes..you are right..dont wipe/factory reset when you are on Stock ICS kernel..so, once you flash Stock ICS, flash any safe kernel like Philz or Hydracore..then you can wipe/factory reset..
