I want to force my toro to connect data through 4G while still allowing voice calls and SMS. Is there a setting for this somewhere, or do I have to make a custom PRL with all the VZW CDMA towers marked as roaming?

Sent from my Paranoid Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
the LTE chip doesnt allow VoLTE.

if you disable 1x/cdma, you will not have voice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vespoid:
I am aware of the lack of 4G voice capability on the Nexus. Is it possible to use CDMA in a voice mode and connect to data only on 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
it already does this if you're in a LTE area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vespoid:
It still drops to 3G when I have low LTE signal. I'm always in an LTE service area or on WiFi so I don't want CDMA data at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IuDeXus:
Hello.

I have problem. My hero dont want to start. I dont know what to do.

When my phone is starting display shows me an operator logo and it turns off in about 20secs.

What can i do? When I'm trying to open recovery or fastboot it turns off in 0,5sec.

What now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
Probably dead 100%, if you cant get in fastboot then it's either a bad HBooT flash if you flashed it, if not then it's a hardware failture
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Not sure if this is the right spot or should actually go in development or here since I got lectured for putting it in development the last time.

But what I am trying to do is decompile the framework file from the stock rom and change a xml and recompile so as to bypass the tetheringprovison call.

The last time I did this on the HTC One S I ran into the trouble that the recompiled verision didn't work and ended up just opening the recompiled apk as a zip pulling the xml and replacing it in the original apk and load that.

That seemed to do the trick on that phone.

I think the problem is with compression as the output apk I get after recompiling is never even close to the original size.

I am having the same issue when it comes to the file for the gs3.

So far I haven't tested a recompiled one yet since I haven't rooted yet but just working on the file.

That is a job for a little later on my days off where I don't need my phone.

But with this one the file I am looking for once it is decompiled shows in res/values/arrays.xml for this one. How ever if I open either the source file or the recompiled when I don't see those values folders anywhere inside.

I am not sure if they are just hidden in something else or where the other files are.

I am using the newest verision of apk multi tool to recompiling and decompiling with compression values tested at 1 and 0.

both the framework-res.apk and twframework files are loaded into it as well as dependencies.

Any ideas on the best way of changing out this one file?

Or if anyone can recompile one with the following arrays.xml file instead that I have attached.

When it is decompiled it does show the right folder string "\res\values" and the array.xml inside I have just made a change to the xml that would not check the tethering provision on the device to allow the built in tether to work again. and a recompiled verision with that file will bypass any tethering check

any help would be greatly appreciated.

*edited* to include the arrays xml
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Anything found in the "values" directory are not going to be visible inside the apk they are files used to build the actual apk that tells the other XML and other files where things are. Compression won't break an apk. What exact file are you editing? Also you are going to have to root if you want to put the modded file back on the device..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Yeah will be rooton on day off so i dont have to worry about it too much.

But with the arrays file that has a call in it to consult a different program before starting tethering.

I have changed that file so it dont check anymore.

This worked on it before with it just unlocked and a different apn update came and dont work anymore.

I am just confused that why it recompiled before for the one and wouldnt work right.

Based on what i read should be no problem as long as both frameworks are installed to the apk multitool
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I decompile framework-res.apk all the time with no issues. What is the exact issue you're having?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Just that when I decompile the framework-res.apk replace one xml file and recompile it using the multitool (am using the system apk with dependancies and linking the twframework) and then try and load it on the phone it seems to cause it to crash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
You cannot replace XML files with other XML files. You have to open the XML in notepad++ and edit the actual lines of code then recompile. And I thought you weren't rooted so how are you able to push the app back to the device? Also, are you setting correct permissions for the newly compiled apk?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Yeah sorry for the late reply.

I am still tinkering with it. I wanted to root just till I had a day off that it wouldn't kill me to have the phone down for a little.

I will be rooting it in the next day or two since I am off.

After recompiling the APK and pulling the XML out of that one and putting in the original was the only way I could get the change to take on the One S.

When I was testing then, and will try the same procedure with the GS3, is after recompiling it with the tool I would put on sd card then using twrp copy to the phone and chmod 644

Out of curiosity what would be the DD command for backing up the recovery to the sd card?

I am having trouble finding that.

I would like to have that to flash back on the phone as I am planning to try this again from within twrp and see what happens.

From my understanding for triangle away to work you need to be on stock recovery right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Ok

Now I have a new problem I have stumbled upon.

I have modded the file but when I try and push it with ADB from the pc even after system mounted it tells me that permission is denied.

Any ideas why that is happening?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Tried copying over with root explorer and that froze during copy and then resulted I'm a boot loop.

Not sure if that was because of the method or a problem with the file I made.

When decompiling does that need to be done with the twframework dependence or just simple decompile?

Also then after switching the arrays.xml I can just recompile with no compression or do I have to do something with keeping files.

Since the arrays is in something else I'm not sure what it shouldn't keep.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

And I can't find if should either be zipaligned or signed. Some articles say signed some say don't sign system apks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Holy crap... youre allllllllllll over the place :P one bite at a time.. Quick answers first:

You do not need to backup your recovery. It is flashable via Odin and is much safer to flash via odin then it is using DD. With DD, you could flash the wrong partition by a simple slip of a keystroke. IE you typed '9' instead of '0'

Secondly: You got that 'freeze' issue using Root Explorer because framework-res.apk is constantly in use by the system. The BEST way to apply any system file is by creating a flashable zip file then applying it through recovery.

Thirdly: You do NOT need stock recovery to use Triangle Away, ive used it twice now with CWM as my recovery.

About your issues with decompiling recompiling.. I dont think its necessary to install the twframework... i dont recall if i had to when i was on Frosty, but doing "java -jar apktool.jar if <twframework here>" wouldnt hurt.

Also what exactly are you trying to modify?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Yeah Sorry about that

was just as I was reading other things and playing with it I kept coming across other questions.

Was thinking about that with the recovery so I am just going to skip doing that and flash a custom one then.

Was trying to do it without switching to avoid tripping the counter but seems like that is un neesicary

I am looking to stay on the stock software of the phone but want to edit the arrays file out of the framework so it don't check for tethering provisions.

Previously I was able to tether just by changing the APNs on the device now I can't do that. Says I don't have a tmo tathering plan. But also not with T-Mobile so that is problematic.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Quick question, are you running Stock Jellybean? And who is your carrier? There was a hacked apk that enabled tethering.. not sure what its called. just read about it. Never tried/downloaded it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tw39515:
i got this to work last night for frosty 11.2.1, AllenD87 over at the att forums helped me get it right.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
I have the stock jellybean on tmo device and use with simple mobile service

Just checked out the other one hack/mod that was looking like the same kind of mod where made changes to the framework and put it back.

different firmware so I don't that I should try that on mine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tw39515:
i just decompiled framework-res.apk made the changes and recompiled. put it in the rom and flashed the whole rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Trying to keep the absolute stock rom.

I just installed twrp since it has file manager so I don't need to make a flashable zip but just copy over and chmod 0644

first attempt gave me a boot hang so I am going to try compiling with a different tool
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Ok found out the problem was the multi tool inwas using

Used the beta instead and everything worked ok

[Galaxy S III General] idorace:
My battery in the past few days has gone to ****. The same thing happened to a friend of mine's S3. I can be at 60%, then go to use the cam or send somebody a pic and the phone shuts off. It use to last all day. GPS is off no new software and friend had it start happening at the exact same time.
[Galaxy S III General] boomboomer:
Buy a new battery, get your friend one to.
[Galaxy S III General] Mr. Clown:
It will be good to know what kind of rom are you running and/or any other important spec, so you get a better answer than the one above.
[Galaxy S III General] Dmwitz:
I have to agree with Mr. Clown. If you want help you need to leave more information. It could be a software issue that is know and quickly solved. Does your friend have the same carrier? You may find that the phone is in between two masts and constantly changing from one to another.

Hope you resolve the issue.
[Galaxy S III General] idorace:
Both batts at the exact same time??? They were good 1 week ago?
[Galaxy S III General] boomboomer:
To drop from 60% to zero is very unusual, normally because the battery no longer holds it's charge. If you give minimal information then you can only get minimal help...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bob_Bobber0:
the two next to the camera up top? Just bought this phone used, are they supposed to light up when you get notifications like my LG revolution did or is it just the pulsing light at the bottom as the alert?

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robogoflow:
The top two things you see are light sensors. When you cover they turn off the screen to prevent you cheeks from hitting buttons while in a call.

Just the pulse light lights up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
The led is on the bottom. You can use an app like Lightflow to color code your notifications.

Freezing tether guard

Got Titanium Backup Pro, however, cant find any tether guard app. to freeze. Sad that I get up to 18mbps down and 12mbps up on my EVO LTE running viper4g 3.1.6. On my Wi-Fi tether I tried all different settings, still my attached devices only get 0.56down and 0.7up.

Any info on how to sustain same or at least faster speeds on my attached devices would be appreciated.

Not there, does the tether guard app come with the Wi-Fi tether app ? I have 3.3-beta2

Thanks for your reply.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Sperovita:
I'm pretty positive it's an htc app for verizon. Here's a post on a thunderbolt that has it which explains it a bit.

http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thunderbolt-apps/7004-tethering-guard-2-3-4-a.html

If you google "tethering guard htc" there's a lot of info out there about it. Though if you don't have it I'd imagine there is something else creating a bottleneck for your bandwidth.

I'm using the latest version of open garden wifi tether on my rooted incredible 4g and the device profile is set to htc rezound. Encryption is WPA2-PSK, though it's set to auto. Tethered tablet got around 3Mbps dl, and 4 Mbps up on a test I just did, though it can vary.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] julianikos:
tehether guard app

Once again thank you for your follow up. I have the HTC EVO LTE running viperg3.1.6 Rom and I have sprint as a carrier. I will google the tether guard app htc . I'm sure the open garden works well but it needs a client app on each connected device. Sort of inconvenient when you want to lend your wifi to various devices and people as they all have to install open garden as well. Once gain thank you for your help. I'll let you know what I find on the tethering guard.

Julian
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Sperovita:
Ah, I thought you had a incredible 4g since this is under the incredible 4g troubleshooting section. Most likely tethering guard is something verizon makes htc put on their phones, so sprint may use another app, or another method. I believe one of the reasons an htc one phone isn't on verizon yet is because htc did not like the software verizon required them to put on their phones (don't hold me to that though).

Also I use "Open Garden Wifi Tether" (Labeled in the play store "WiFi Tethering" by open garden) not to be mistaken with "Open Garden" by open garden. The former requires root and does not require the app to be on both devices as it simply creates a mobile hotspot. I'd suggest giving it a try.

If your carrier blocks it in the play store here is a direct link for the apk that open garden provides in it's description on the play store:

http://bit.ly/OG_tether_direct
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] julianikos:
Wifi tether speeds

Well I could not find Open Garden Wifi on the app store. Followed your link and was able to install the apk. App looks very much like the WiFi Tether I have just with a background wallpaper and less options in settings. Device profile does not list EVO LTE, used Samsung galaxy nexus (CDMA/LTE) which work fine with my wifi tether app, but I could not get Open Garden to broadcast at all, tried several setting, also noticed there are no settings for MSS clamping and Routing Fix to check on. Those I have to have checked in order for my WiFi Tether app to work.(So I went back to WiFi Tether 3.3 beta 2) and I have a hotspot again but still at 3g speeds. Really miffed cuz at my location I get up to 19MBPS down and 9.42 up. When I turn on my WiFi Tether my friends with IPhones or tablets get like 1.26down and about same up. I have to do some serious searching on this one. There is a newer version of WiFi Tether 3.3 beta3 but that app does not work at all. I rooted my EVO LTE mainly for the tethering function. I apologize if I posted in wrong forum btw (I get Forum Dementia) easy. and again thanks for your advices. I think I'll have to poke Team Venom about the Viperg 3.1.6 Rom I'm running. I also used Titanium Backup and looked for any kind of tethering guard but my search only produced the actual WIFi tether app. Nothing resembling tether guard. Again thanks for all your help.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
See reviews and go to the store to play with both of them get a feel on them and also see what it is you want in a phone. Thats what I did and got the best beast that is out right now for me that is :thumbup:

Also go checkout the threads and forums on the phones that your debating on see what the folks has to say.

What phone u on getting that kind of battery life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Galaxy note 2 came from the e4gt and dont regret it best phone in the market right now Imo and touchwiz stock is just pure goodness im still on stock unrooted. I saw one person who is rooted and bare had got 11hrs screen on lol phone is just amazing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brandan14:
really? it gets that good of battery life completely stock?dang but yea definitely look at reviews and specs and you should be able to figure out which one you want. Also the Nexus 4 is built by lg.

Yeah I know.... But the lg Optimus g has some killer specs. And on the other side, the nexus 4 is pure 4.2 android and also has some great specs.

Yup its this great on stock unrooted. I really havent had a reason to root yet and Samsung actually nailed it with the stock touchwiz launcher and the features and s-pen is really great but battery was the big thing that made me jump on to this phone I really got tired of carrying my charger or extra batteries around to me its just stupid and if your going on a trip there's a 8500mah battery witg a nice looking door that doesn't make the phone look to bulky lol one person showed a pic there in the forums getting like 3 to almost 4 days without charging.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bentrinh:
I have had a problem that's grown worse over time with my G2. I've noticed the phone will be snappy, fresh after flashing, but over time, it will start to slow down. I chalked it up to it just needing a good flash every once in a while. However, it's gotten to the point it will become laggy/unresponsive within a day or two now. During these periods of lag I have managed to make it struggle to the running applications screen, where I have noticed that the lag is correlated with background applications restarting themselves. Google maps, Google Voice, and Waze are usually restarting (sometimes a few times before becoming stable), and I think Imo messenger might be doing the same. Once all the background apps are done restarting, everything returns to normal. I notice these apps all require some sort of radio use, and that the app I am actively using usually will only slow down, but not crash.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krueger80:
I have very similar issue. Soundhound oo, maps, Droid are trying to restart when it happens... I think it might be because we run out of memory... but I don't know why Android try to restart those processes so hard then.

[Nokia Lumia 800] unrandomsam:
Probably not. (From what I know about France you can get the code free after having had the phone for 3 months. If that happened then it is unlikely ATF was used. (The bootloader is downgraded by Testpoint to get it to work).
[Nokia Lumia 800] r3l4x_pt:
yes that is true they only unlockit after 3 months but this one was not bouygues that unlocked it, it was someone because the phone was bought about 1 month ago. i dont know why but yesterday after debranding the phone he got locked again so i took it to a store to unlockit again. today im going to get it and ask the guy how he unlocked it because probaly its not going to get the code from bouygues

so i got the code but he wont telme were he got it but from what see the code is stored in registry probaly because if its updated buy zune or ncs it will lock again
