i know he says that for aosp rom you don't have to wait the 5-10 mins, but i do it anyway just to be sure. then i reboot and wait an additional 5-10 mins.

oh and i'm on cm10 nightly, 12/1/2012 to be exact. it's super stable and smooth, no worries. just make sure you flash the right file (our phone is hercules) and gapps (20121011).

follow every thing edshawn said just to be safe. You can always flash a diff. radio at a later time. Also dont flash a nightly if you dont want to encounter any bugs. Im currently on last sidekick's liquid smooth and its the fastest cm10 rom ive used, but thats just me everybodys phone reacts differently. Also I would recommend twrp recovery over CWM, but you can do that later as well.

I can't be the only person who find it annoying that the navigation voice continues giving me directions even when I'm on a phone call. When I called the T-Mobile customer service

They told me there was no way to turn off that default behavior, then they transferred me to the HTC customer service line where I was told this is a feature of the phone :( This is the first phone in years and I have not routed and put a custom ROM on so is there anyone who could tell me how to change the default behavior on a stock not rooted HTC one S? FYI, this entire post was dictated using Dragon dictation on the swipe keyboard while sitting 100 yards from the T-Mobile home office in Bellevue on the freeway offramp.

Using Google Navigation has always been like this. If you want it to change, submit your dilemma to Google. It is the app made by Google, not T-Mobile or HTC's problem. Navigation does not read the phone state in regards to phone calls, so it does not know to mute the nav sounds when on a call.

Hi all, looking for a little help here.

My wife and I both have AT&T Galaxy S3 phones. We updated them both to Jellybean through Kies.

For some reason on my wife's phone, I can't update Google Now (google search). In the play store from her phone it says her device is not compatible. If I log into the play store from a computer, it shows her device is compatible but when I try to download it, it says oops and to try again later. I tried clearing cache and data on the phone but am still having the same issue.

I was able to update my phone to the new google now version with no issues.

Any suggestions? :confused::confused:

Greetings,

After following the instructions to upgrade to JB w/root, everything seems to be working smoothly, with the exception that the wifi tether is angry with me. I have foxfi free, and even tried a few other wifi tethering programs (wifi tether trevE mod) but nothing seems to work. Is it a JB issue or a Razr Maxx HD issue or a noob user issue?

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hey - are you with Verizon on Contract? No unlimited plan? If so - when I was on ICS my wifi tethering wasn't working (would turn on then turn off right away) so I called Verizon, they de-activated that feature then re-activated it and it started working (weird I know) but it also worked for another buddy of mine, so call and ask them to de-activate and re-activate the feature and you should be good!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moxxee:
I currently am off contract with an unlimited plan. Looks like FoxFi is not supported with the Razr Maxx HD running JB. :(

Verizon will probably want to charge me for the hotspot, so it may be best to leave them out of the picture.

That said, I did some googling and FoxFi is apparently still pretty flaky on Jelly Bean.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big ach:
Yes verizon will want to charge your for it since you are on unlimited! Bluetooth tethering should still work though! I used to do that to avoid paying for wireless tethering! Dunno if that helps you or not though!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moxxee:
Thanks for the link.

Yeah, those new "share everything" plans are expensive, and losing unlimited data isn't an option. Nor is paying an extra $30 a month to the Empire for Internet access I already have. But unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be a stable tethering app for the RMHD with JB. Wait for FoxFi to update, maybe?

Ugh, just tried to BT tether via FoxFi and it says the ipad has to be jail broken for it to work correctly. This may be a sign that I should just go to bed.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cardman827:
I was in the same boat as you I rooted in order to tether and none of the tethering apps worked for me. After more google searching I discovererd a thread about turning the "entitlement check off" I did that and am now using the phones built in hotspot feature with my unlimited verizon plan.

Unfortunately I can't give you any links right now have to get to work but just search rooted jelly bean motorola razr hd entitlement or something along those lines and you should find it.

Hope that helps you..

Wifi tethering

Before they got FiFox working for ICS, there was the possibility of going in and setting the variable for the VZW Hotspot from 1 to 0 - which meant that it wouldn't first check with VZW before enabling tethering. Does this option still work for those on JB who are rooted and can go in to make the modification?

{Personally, I don't yet have JB or I'd try to make the change myself. But hopefully this will give those on JB the option of hotspots.}
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
Foxfi wifi hotspot used to work great for me. Last night I needed it due to an internet outage at comcast and every time i connected windows crashed on my laptop! No idea why?

Then I tried bluetooth and my computer just kep trying to download razr maxx hd drivers. It couldn't because it had no internet and i never got to the blluetooth connect screen in which i could use bluetooth for internet.

Does foxfi bluetooth connect really work?

I'm on the latest version of foxfi with stock unrooted unmodified ics.

I really could have used internet last night!

Installed aqua mail for about 2 mins until I saw it had no pinch to zoom feature. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but when HTML emails come through huge and you can't resize them to see without scrolling...that was a deal breaker. Gmail app works just fine for me :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] proplayer44:
I found Aqua mail had some formatting issues on some email. The pictures would be Xed out or something. Plus it has no ability to connect Exchange accounts. I changed my email to using Gapps For Your Domain as per someone on here saying it was great and it is, only it's exchange email. Most free ones don't work with exchange so I'm back to default and Gmail. I would be totally willing to pay $3 to $5 for an awesome email client but there is no way I'm paying $20. There's two real good ones for $20 I believe.

check out Emoze

I had issues with weird behavior of the push and sync and I installed Emoze Push client which gives me the ability to push any type of email ,obviously Exchange and IMAP but even POP3 which is very limited email protocol.

I've done benchmarks with the stock ICS email client and with several third party clients like Touchdown, Moxier, K9 and I find that Emoze has the advantage in almost every aspect.

Push notification is stable and fast ,less than 60 sec.

Battery consumption is low ,I’m able to work in push mode without charging for 22 hours.

I’m quite a heavy email user so it was kind of a surprise to me because I used to have 6-8 hours max with only one account working in push.

I have 5 email accounts which is about 100-200 email per day so no kidding ,this one really improved my life ,I’m less paranoid about my battery.

Other features which are quit useful are the security options that allows you to find the device location by SMS or email

and also to remote wipe or block by SMS.

This is cool because you don’t need PC connected to the internet to get the job done ,you can simply send SMS to your phone number to activate the security process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nacos:
AquaMail - definitely!!

If you don't need exchange, AquaMail is definitely my recommendation. Also highly recommended buying the Pro key. The developer is FANTASTIC about implementing good suggestions as well as fixing reported bugs. Like you, I've been using K9 for quite some time and while I still have it installed and I keep updating the development versions, - and yes, I have to admit it's getting better and better - I never found reasons to ever go back to K9. AquaMail offers (common sense) options that K9 is still lacking: full screen - especially useful in landscape mode, far superior selection options as far as the email lists, much better menu icons selection & options, optimizations for low traffic data are merely a few examples of why you should try it. Once getting used to the rather extensive settings and customize it per your liking, you may also find your own reasons to stay with AquaMail. :good:

P.S AquaMail has its own page and forum - very informative and if you feel like contributing with suggestions or bugs, this is the place. Also here I found out that there were plans to eventually implement the exchange, however, Google's recent announcement to stop supporting exchange might change that.:confused:

Never experienced any pictures formatting issues or any other issues.

Hey y'all,

Sorry I have not been so active as I once was.. I wanna help but life has been a bit staggering lately. Anyways I come with an awesome free app for all you who wanted to see how I edited my build.prop

I used a program called buildProp editor. It has an easy to understand way of explaining details if each setting you can modify and gives you tips and has a lot of new user help for those who don't know how to use their build.prop

For new users in general, build.prop is basically the phones hardware configuration that allows advanced settings to make slight tweaks to your hardware (this is usually best for personally installed and built kernels, as you get best results out of it vs a stock kernel within the rom). So, this app will provide you an easy method of learning more about build.prop files.

In case your curious, on this phone model I do believe its located inside /system but again, I have a few phones I setup often.

I also use my system tuner pro for more advanced editing but this is not free.. I believe it was $5.00 but it does so much than just a standard app.

I hope this helps you all, because it helped me learn.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rancorbeast:
I originally posted this to WPcentral but no one seems to care... I find it quite compelling and I thought I'd share...

I have read a lot of different forums that The Lumia 920 from Roger has a hard time working with other carriers when unlocked. Specifically, internet Sharing seems to be broken.

Some have speculated that the phone is supposed to "detect" or "read" the settings right off the sim card but all the Rogers phone owner have reported that this is not happening.

I like evidence, not speculation. So I went ahead and downloaded the RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002_RETAIL_nam_canada_200_02_100347_prd_signed ROM off nokia's web site using NaviFirm+ 1.7. then I hex-edited the rom itself...

Boy is that stuff interesting. I found a section written in XML called "OEMCustomizationPackage". That sounded too good to be true... so I dug up the xml and found a bunch of interesting settings like custom ring tones, initial tile placement BUT...

I also found this...

<Component ComponentName="ConnectivityCustomizations">

<SettingsGroup>

<Setting Name="ADC path set" Value=""/>

<Setting Name="ADC enabled" Value="0"/>

</SettingsGroup>

Call me crazy but ADC in WP8 parlance stands for "automatic data configuration" and unless I'm dumb as a rock, the setting sure seems to me like it's disabled!!!

Now of course If only there was another line that said <Modified by your carrier to make your life miserable = 1> but sadly there aren't.

So it begs the question... was the setting disabled by Nokia?, Rogers? or worst... Microsoft?

I don't expect I'll have an answer to this but I have a support call in with Nokia that got bumped to Level 2 support... the conversation will get interesting ;)

[Update]

I looked at the OEMCustomizationPackage XML for the ATT firmware and ADC is disabled (tested on RM820_1232.2109.1242.1001_RETAIL_nam_usa_100_01_95122)

did the same for a random European firmware... settled on the France firmware (RM821_1232.2109.1242.1001_RETAIL_eu_france_267_01_95741 ) and the setting is

NOT IN

the OEMCustomizationPackage XML

Now I'm not gonna waste any more bandwidth testing other firmwares but this is evidence enough to prove there was a deliberate effort to cripple the North American firmware by ATT and Rogers. I cannot wait to talk to the support rep from Nokia and hear what he has to say... Best case scenario, they let me have a generic Firmware and I'm home free... but most likely, they'll release an app just like they did with the lumia 900. It was called "Nokia Network setup"

I’m stuck over in the UAE right now. I have a brand new 920 from AT&T that I can’t use because no one can sim unlock them yet. Would it be possible to flash this thing with another ROM and get it sim unlocked so I can use it over here?

Thanks,

[Nokia Lumia 920] siralex241:
I remember buying the samsung focus and windows breaking the device to change registry settings. This was the same issue that the Focus had...unfortunately i don't remember the explaination that was given but it was Samsung saying that automatic data configuration, for whatever reason, frequently configured the device wrong or just wouldn't work so they disabled the setting. I think it a BS excuse considering they have the registry entry why would you disable it and why wouldn't it work in the first place....just my 2 cents. But, I don't believe it too much to be a conspiracy theory going on lol.
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
Flashing ROMs normally does not change the status of the SIM lock, so no for you over at UAE.

Considering the OEM customizations: yes, branded phones run the same software as unbranded devices but there might be settings to allow or disallow certain functionality. Also the Apps loaded by default on a hard reset are different (OEM Apps can be included).

So while the update package to get your 920 and my 920 to the Apollo+/Portico Update most likely will include the same binaries that does not mean that you have the same functionality available (some carriers who only operate on 3G for example removed the possibility to switch their devices into 2G only mode). Internet Connection Sharing was another feature that was disabled on some branded devices although drivers, etc. are deployed onto those devices as well.

most carrier branded wp phones have adc turned off since wp7 days. That is nothing new and certainly expected. typically, you can turn it back on once you sim unlocked your phone and you are lucky enough to find network setup app from the manufacturer,
[Nokia Lumia 920] rancorbeast:
The network setting app is here!!

As an update to my adventures, I did find the Nokia network setup app... it's called "access point". I tried to do a marketplace search but no results... but a guy over at WPCentral just dropped the marketplace link

I'm apparently too new to post outside links so PM me and I'll get you the link...

I just browsed to the link on my phone and was able to install the app. It add an "access point" item to the setting menu just like the Dev ATT phone they handed out prior to launch :)

My phone is still locked to Rogers so I have no idea if the app will help me overcome the tethering issues once I get there. on Dec 19th my "30 days on contract" are up so the nasty Rogers people will run out of excuse to deny my unlocking so I'll buy the thing and get as far away from this carrier as I can and hopefully I can get functional Internet Sharing going.

To any Canadian who's lucky to have an unlocked 920 with internet tethering problems... can you confirm this is working?

Thanks.

Wow great news !! Can you confirm a few things for me...

2- What is your batch number? (mine is 44/2012 it's in the sticker on your box where the IMEI number is )

3- What firmware are you running? (mine is 1232.2109.1242.1001)

4- Did you get the phone unlocked by Rogers or a web site?

Thanks for the feedback! I too want to switch to Telus but with so many users reporting problems with internet sharing, I was getting desperate.
