Tethering mask

Hello

If you go into Internet through a browser like Firefox, IE, Chrome, all of them have an option "user agent" to emulate another hardware than the one they are on

if you choose "user agent" android for example (or something like this), your browsing logs will dupe your operator which think you really browse FROM your android

I used it some months ago with a french operator and it worked

Hope it will help

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aratanir:
I've had Galaxy Note since February of 2012......Had it replaced three times under warranty through AT&T for same problem. (At least AT&T overnighted the replacement unit got it today)

All the note I had loved to shut off automatically and randomly........

1) Whenever I pickup a call, the phone shuts off (all the time)

2) It reboots by it self inside my pocket

3) It reboots by it self sitting while sitting on my desk

I see a lot of Note user are facing this problem........is there any solution? I've tried couple stuff that was posted on numerous posts.

Also what should I do once my warranty expire? I have 90 days under this refurbish warranty....original phone was till February 2013.... not sure when will it expire.

I've called: AT&T Customer Relation, Customer Service, and Warranty Department as well as Samsung Tech Support. (The only thing I got $25 credit towards my bill)

A Gentleman from Warranty Department told me that he always see this problem.........he sent me a replacement unit immediately and even offered if I wanted to get replaced with Galaxy S3.....unfortunately Note 2 was too new to be replaced......but still I have asked to get Galaxy Note.

Spoke to Customer Relation...what a awful service this guy said "I have Galaxy Note but never have problem" and accusing me for dropping the phone and etc........that the reason I've got $25 credit to my balance. (I could have got more but was too tired to fight for it)

Samsung told me that if I face this issue call Samsung again and they will fix it.. But I will be without a phone for roughly 1 week to 2 week.

What should I do after my warranty expire?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Seriously, if you have had this issue with 3 different phones then I would look elsewhere: Battery, Sim, SD card, Apps, or ROM you were installing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] daveschz:
I was thinking the exact same thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I have never had a random reboot on this device, regardless of the roms, modem, recovery etcetera.

The note is very stable operationally, and to have 3 devices do the same thing is unheard of.

There must be an underlying similarity that causes this event to occur, beyond the device itself.

As mentioned above, changes to the phone ???

What roms are you using, root method, current recovery, or are you stock ???

If we know the changes that led up to the occurrence, we can generally identify the cause. And if using custom software, a logcat will help tremendously.

I do not want to give the impression that device hardware failures aren't at work here, but 3 devices in a row is virtually unheard of ...

Tell us the device setup at this point ....rooted ?, stock ?.....g

Edit: Are you using an oversized SD card ??....32-64 gig...

Oversized battery ?....5000-5400 mah???

Sim adapter for network other than AT$T ??

Or Sim kit ??

These items are suspect ..and will cause issues under the right conditions, especially battery, Sim, and oversized SD ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jeffrey687:
I have seen batteries cause this sort of thing MANY TIMES. Usually, warranty replacement phones are sent out without a new battery. Is this happening to you? Are you still using your original battery? If so, have AT&T/Samsung/whomever replace the battery!

As others have asked: If you have changed ANYTHING from complete stock (ROMs etc.) you could be creating the problem yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
Try a different SIM card. I had this same random reboot problem when I tried to use an LTE SIM in my old N1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
i have this problem after upgrading to jelly bean...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Random reboot is a know issue with certain JB rom variant builds .

Rule this out if stock software is used...

Damaged Sim or Battery is a likely cause ....

But as I mentioned ....if using the ATT note on other carriers, we have a whole new set of parameters at work.

Additionally ....

Your last statement struck me as odd OP.

Samsung said they would fix it ?

That sounds like a hardware issue they have seen before. But before sending off your device, please give us more info...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
is there a stock JB rom for i717?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Sadly no....at least not yet ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I think you have a rogue app. That's the only common element in all your phones.

I advise you reset to factory stock and see if you still get reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:

You may be on to something ... g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
This is a real cliff hanger. Everyone talking except the OP.

Sure would like to know ... All the time spent on the first post ... Must be too worn out to respond to all the help.

Lots of good ideas here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] leo5111:
as everyone else has said, some app is doing it the chances of one person getting 3 notes doing same thing are pretty much zero
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Agreed ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
If memory serves, wasn't HD Widgets a culprit to random reboots for a while there? I use their widgets and until a recent patch (2 or 3 patches ago) my phone rebooted quite often, by no means to the level of what the OP is saying. I'd have to agree with what others are saying. Look at your apps, keep your phone stock for a while, change out the Sim card and battery. Try to do all of these separate from each other that way you can narrow it down to what is causing the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
We will never know what exactly what it is if the OP doesn't ever respond. Right now everyone is just blowing smoke. As stated in my first post, it could be many things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Maybe he gave up and went to an iPhone :D

Or possibly his phone is his only connection to us and it won't stay booted long enough.:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Well ...the world didn't end .....so we can rule that out as being the cause ...LOL

OP ???

Helloooooooo......

It's mighty quiet over there ....g

Okay then .....good luck OP ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I know we cured his trouble. Done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Yup ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
On stock, there are two generic solutions.

Remove your sdcard, boot the Note and do a factory reset from the recovery menu. I had to do this even on a Note I had just replaced that should've been wiped at the factory due to this exact problem. If you can get away with it, leave the phone stock with no apps installed aside from the stock apps for a few days, this may help determine if its an app you yourself installed.

If you are rooted, make sure your SU binaries are up to date (open the SU app and poke around to find the update binaries option), my N7 experienced random reboots because of out of date SU binaries.

Make sure all your apps are up to date, system tuner pro for example recently had a bug that was causing random reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SuperSHO:
I see this thread died with no update from the OP, but I'm going through the same thing. My phone started rebooting while on PA. It never rebooted while in recovery, and usually wouldn't reboot until I would get past the initial boot screen. After returning everything to stock and still experiencing the trouble, I had AT&T send me a warranty replacement; same issue. It doesn't reboot while connected to external power, so I suspect it is the battery. They are sending another Note and a battery. I'll update in a day or two when they get here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jmelendez1:
Can i pretend im the OP?

Thank you guy's, my Note finally stopped rebooting! :p

Edit : Now that everything is peachy, please close thread. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] swaldrop:
Galaxy Note 2 turns itself off

The issue exists on the Galaxy Note 2 as well and has nothing to do with software.

The problem is hardware related. The phone is flawed and shuts off on it's own under various conditions, all hardware related. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLn2yikYnI

Also, take a look at this site I built that goes in to more detail regarding the issue: www.GalaxyNote2ShutsOff.com

One look at that short video and I am sure there will be some light bulbs going off. Be sure to read the details I provided on that site as well. They go in to detail about the problems that I have had and the lack of proper support that Samsung is willing to provide.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mv1luv:
This happened to me once.. it was weird? Randomly turned off once stressed. Happened on different ROMs. Went back to stock and it did it right in front of an att salesperson he said I get a warranty phone with no battery. So I went through with it. And so far no more random reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zelendel:
With the design of the battery this is bound to happen. There is nothing locking the battery in except for the minor pressure from the battery space. Any real drop will understandably dislodge the battery. They are never meant to be dropped from any distance.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ocula:
I got my TechSkin in the mail today, and just installed it.

My first impressions:

Design/Fit:

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

This Skinomi was designed for the Nexus 4, and it fits *perfectly*. The cutouts for the proximity sensor, front camera and earpiece are 100% accurate. The only thing that I would note is that the screen protector is about 0.3mm short on both the left side and the bottom, but that's too insignificant to have any affect on usability. Other than that, there aren't any major problems with the design.

Feel:

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

This thing sure is plasticy. It's nowhere near as smooth as glass, but that's to be expected of screen protectors. However, this screen protector is quite grippy when dry. This might prove to be a problem for gamers. I'll try playing Modern Combat 4 later, and I'll update the review accordingly depending on how my fingers feel. The Skinomi is definitely smooth enough for normal use, but it still can't compare with the super-smooth Gorilla Glass that it's designed to protect.

Look:

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

No Orange Peel! This protector is great. This has barely any orange peel effect at all, unlike the Zagg InvisibleShield protectors which I have for my Galaxy Nexus and my iPad.The screen protector is smooth and conforms to the curved edges of the screen very well. A word of warning for potential buyers: Getting the screen protector to stick properly onto the curved glass requires you to press and hold it down to the curve for at least 2 minutes, until the solution dries and it sticks. But once it's stuck, it's stuck for good.

If you have any questions, please ask! If you want more pictures I'll be more than happy to post them.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] ocula:
Update: Back Protector

Design/Fit

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

Again, the fit is spot-on. All the cutouts match with the correct spots on the device, and the cutout for the camera is just the right size.

No complaints here.

Feel:

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

Same grippyness as the front. I think that this is actually a good thing for the back: The Nexus 4 is a very slippery phone, and having a grippier plastic back should make it harder for the phone to slide off a table or out of my hand.

Installation:

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

WORD OF WARNING: Be careful when installing the back. It's too easy for water from the installation to seep into the speaker hole, and who knows what kind of damage that can cause. I had some water go into the speaker (Not a lot, less than a drop), but still, better safe than sorry.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ocula:
Update: Pics.

Link to images of the back: http://imgur.com/zUIoC,VLqHA,ScypJ,xfabx

UPDATE: Now that I've started to use the phone with the screen protector, the grippyness of the front screen protector doesn't seem to affect normal usage of the phone. In fact, it feels quite smooth compared to Zagg screen protectors, and I am quite satisfied with the Skinomi overall.

If you are looking for a screen protector for your Nexus 4, I'd recommend the Skinomi TechSkin.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
I have had this for a week now. It really takes a few days to completely smooth out and it gets clearer. I don't notice any yellow tint at all. I'm liking it more and more everyday.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nathanation:
I have the carbon fibre tech skin waiting to be installed, normally I hate screen protectors and I'm concerned I will get a load of dust under it, did you guys manage to install it clean? No bubbles?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] plasticdarlow:
Did mine in the bathroom with the shower ruining on full hot. The moisture takes the dust out of the air.

Works every time for me. Good luck
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SeaSeeC:
I kind of like the grippy feel of it.

The phone felt really slippery before and i've had it slide off tables that were slightly angled but with this on it completely stays in place.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nathanation:
Carbon parts installed fine, I like the back plate but not overly keen with the side pieces, the screen protector.... I need another one I think, it is straight but has loads of streaks in it, going to leave it for a few days as skinomi suggest and see if it clears up...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anwedr:
To add onto the OP's post, I did not have to press down on the front curved glass for the screen protector to stick.

There is a slight orange peel on mine, no biggie.

The fit is really accurate indeed.

I had small bubbles for an entire week before it completely disappeared.

Overall, I recommend this skin to anyone who prefers wet applications.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jag3498:
I have a galaxy tab on contract from Verizon, and I wanted to put cyanogenmod 9 on it. Followed the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki for installing clockwork recovery, and everything went fine, until I booted up. I got an "encryption failed" error, and it wanted me to wipe and reboot. I instead shut down and googled the issue, finding that for some users, removing the sd card while booting up fixed it, and it works perfectly. The sd works fine after the device is booted, but I have to remove it when booting up. Any ideas?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyl3:
Hey guys..

A friend has given me his Galaxy S I9000 to try to fix.

The back story is that he had flashed CM7 onto it, worked ok for a bit then the phone turned off and won't turn back on.

Tried a new battery and charger, no dice.

I've done a little bit of reading about the web and it seems like a hard brick? Will a USB jig help to fix this and get it to power back on and into download/recovery?

Thanks guys :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueFlame4:
If you can't access download mode normally, try a JIG.

No way of repair if the jig won't bring it back to life??

Cheers!

No other suggestions lads before I return the phone to my friend?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodman01:
Do you really think its bricked? Because as you said, it worked and then it shut down suddenly, and since then you cannot restart? Not in cwm and not in downloadmode?

Its strange because a brick usually happens when you flash a wrong rom or during the installation the power went off. But its really rar that our S1 is completly bricked.

Did you also tried a different battery and a different charger?

[HTC One X] firzen_net:
I am Android version 4.0.4 and apparently my HTC is HTC_622

sense 4.1

software: 2.17.708.7

I got an OTA update to 4.1 (software update:3.14.708.28 to be exact) and after I wait for it to download and I let it update, problems start to happen.

I had CWM recovery before so I flashed back stock recovery (the 622 from here : http://d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8386#files ) and tried to update. I made it to the recovery and see the green arrow icon with the loading bar. But when it loads to a 1/4 or about 1/3, it green icon changes to the red exclamation and then it just freezes. Then I have to soft reboot. I load back to my original stock ROM and the update is not applied (obviously). I am unsure about what's going on. I also tried flashing this recovering :http://d-h.st/yDf and it did not work either. I tried this recovery because my current software is 2.17 but then the OTA update is 3.14 For both recoveries, I've tried with the boot loader locked/unlocked and I still have no luck.

Am I doing something wrong? I need to be in full stock to apply the OTA right? So then I Just flashed the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader.

I'm just glad it isn't boot looping like before. Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] rdiogo:
I have the exate same problem, but mi CID its the HTC__001 from UK. I don't understand whats happening!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
This is def the right recovery you need

http://db.tt/U5CK4noo

If you made any changes to the rom (like removing bloatware) the update will also fail !
[HTC One X] rdiogo:
I don't know if the problem it's in the recovery, i have that version of recovery, ant it does'nt work either.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Then you definitively made a change somewhere, or in the rom or the boot.img....
[HTC One X] rdiogo:
Well i don't recall of doing that, but doesn't matter, today i will try to flash both the boot.img and that recovery, lets see if that will work. Then i let my feedback in this thread. Thank you in advance.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No problem mate, always try to help. We get to the bottom of this ;)
[HTC One X] rdiogo:
Well i tried flashing boot.img and recovery.img, but it's the same problem, it just doesn't install, gives me the same problem, red triangle.

I'm lost, don't now what to do.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Get your cid and main version

Fastboot OEM readcid

Fastboot getvar version-main

And check the nandroid collection in the general thread, if it's there you download it and restore it ! After that flash the stock recovery and check for the update again !
[HTC One X] rdiogo:
My CID it's HTC__001, but was bought in expansys, and came from UK, the main version i got to look.

I talk in the chat with HTC yestarday, and they told me that the update for my version only comes out monday, 24 of December, because my phone had come from the UK. But i told her that i already had the update available, but it gave me an error in the instalation...that's when she told me to make a factory reset, and it didn't work.

Thanks for your help.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Do the getvar command, you might be trying to use the wrong recovery...that or get the 1.36 FW from the dev section and then relock and flash the 3.14.401.27 RUU
