[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexCzar:
[SOLVED]

I've found the solution.

1) backup /efs/FactoryApp and /efs/imei

2) remove /efs/FactoryApp and /efs/imei

3) reboot

4) if device is rooted

su
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot

if device is not rooted, you have to have adb tool from android sdk, after installing sdk run SDK Manager (if it doesn't start, use sdk\tools\android insted) you have to select and install Extras/Google USB Driver, then

4.1) reboot into recovery mode

4.2) install Google USB driver from driver manager (there is a guide for this but I can't post external links yet)

4.3)

adb shell

4.4) run commands:

mount /efs
mount -o remount,rw /efs
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot

This did it for me.

Question

My apologies if the question sounds silly. But trying to figure out how to execute these commands? Are these executed on the device itself? Or are they executed on a computer with the device tethered via USB? I think it is the latter, but if you could confirm, that will be appreciated. What utility is used for executing these commands?

I have Galaxy Tab 7.7, so these instructions may not work ... but I will do some trial and error once I know how to get started.

thanks in advance

ADB works only on computer.

So computer.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexCzar:
It depends, if your device is rooted, install terminal emulator (any will do) and proceed according to the first batch of instructions in the beginning of my post. If your device is not rooted proceed according to the second part of my post, you'll have to install SDK and use adb utility from the SDK, this implies tethering your device via USB and typing those commands in adb shell environment.

I have no idea if this instructions will help with Tab 7, but if you backup everything before deleting (changing) it most probably won't do any harm. But, of course, I can't guarantee that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabUser77:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexCzar:
I googled a lot, after all proposed solutions didn't work I sinthesized my own based on those provided - just randomly poked mentioned files and directories - deleted, changed contents and so on. Just don't forget to backup everything before you do that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One2lv:
Easy way just did it

Rooted phones only go into root explorer root

Efs

Factory app

Factory mode text file

Text editor

Change it to either on or off whatever is opisite of what is there

Save and exit might ask if you want to backup the file just say yes

Restart phone and it will go through prompts

And it will be gone

Worked, thank god, (and you of course). Had to realize that I needed to go in and delete everything prior to typing out the commands in the terminal emulator, but once I did, that stupid yellow text went away. Again, thanks!

Hi guys

I recently switched to android, now i'm on Panandroid 2.57

Normaly i reach the end of the day with about 40%, but now it gave me a 14% warning at 3 pm (15:00)

(btw, after 15 minutes of plants vs zombies it was at 4%, is this normal?)

I want to know what states an app can be in.

When is an drawing cpu and ram and when isn't it?

When i press home, it goes into backgroud, is it just fully operational? Is it drawing power?

And when i lock the screen, it is also drawing power?

And wen i long-press the home key, and swipe the programms "away", will they be closed now?

I noticed that in for exemple i lose the last opened page in an app for an newssite called tweakers. Has it to be running in order to remember a certain page like that? Can't it just go into some kind of hybernation, save session but stop drawing cpu and ram?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
i think its fully closed when you go into applications and STOP it from there. just pressing the home button keeps it in the background as i have noticed using browser and XDA app etc.. back button also closes the app but sometimes still shows up as running.. just my observations.

I dont think the person who took the picture had put it all the way down.

I looked at my friends that he got from Samsung and its exactly the same.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Awestrike:
It might be cheap because it doesn't have the NFC antenna.

I was looking in a local Samsung concept store about a month ago and I asked about their flip covers, which were being sold for about 3/5 of what I had seen them going for elsewhere. The guy there told me they were cheaper because they didn't have the NFC antenna. He also said that they did have the NFC-capable ones before and they were almost double the price of the NFC-less variants.

Maybe Samsung decided that, since not all people use their phones' NFC capabilities, some people would rather pay less and give it up completely.

I'm not saying that this is one off the NFC-less flip covers but that's one possible reason it's so cheap. And, of course, there are the fakes. The fakes I've seen here have been in boxes very similar to the one I got mine in sans the holographic sticker. The font is also a bit different.

Oh, and the flip covers do fit really well. Actually, it was an even snugger fit than the original. It's just that the side to which the flap is attached is a bit thicker. That's why it looks slightly raised in his picture.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
Mine has the NFC antennae...

It works just fine.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] slipmagt:
This is absolutely, without a single tiny doubt in my mind, completely

NOT

an official Samsung flip cover.

But its not a bad knockoff for $10.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
Nope it's legit.

This is official packaging in UK and Asia.

Still using mine and the leather is still strong.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] n19htmare:
Where is it Made in?

The genuine is Made in Korea.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] n19htmare:
Looks like you got a product different than pictured on the ebay link.

Seems the pictures are of genuine product and yours is a GOOD knockoff.

1) The contacts on the genuine are gold, yours don't look gold.

2) Also that strip where the contacts are, original is black...yours looks silver

3) the letters that the ebay ad points attention to appear to be missing from yours (or I can't read due to low res pic)

Not saying it's a bad case or not as good as the genuine one................just shouldn't be called a genuine if it's not.

Cleaned the thread.

Ok guys/gals. Enough with the flaming.This has gotten WAY out of hand. First, if you don't agree with a thread topic or even have issue with it; do not come into the thread and cause trouble! Report it! Second, if someone does come into a thread and says something you don't like; don't respond to it! Report it! Responding just aggravates the issues already unfolding and makes it worse. If you REALLY feel the need to discuss it an issue with someone, take it to PM, NOT the open forum.

I'd recommend everyone go over the XDA Forum Rules again

Specifically:

2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.

2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.

Thank you

Don't want to screw this up, so some questions.

I'm on Verizon Stock (TW)/Rooted/Unlocked. I have Google Wallet running and working. My build.prop is my original Verizon/SGS3 file (I reverted it back after I originally added my cards to Google Wallet).

So do I just flash the .zip in the OP? Do I have to erase my Google Wallet first? Do I have to temporarily change to the Nexus build.prop again first? Can I still use my Verizon/SGS3 original build.prop once the updated Google Wallet is working?

Has anyone tried to update from the same situation I'm in yet?

I've always: changed to Nexus build prop, flash new wallet, set up wallet, restored original build prop, reboot. I've never even reset wallet since they updated to use the cloud instead of the secure element. I don't think it is possible to brick the secure element anymore with wallet.

Working awesome, added a new card this time around.

Adding my exact process :

(All on wifi)

Make CWM backup.

Write to build.prop (did not make backup).

Reboot to recovery flash zip reboot phone.

Open wallet follow steps, first time waited 10 minutes no luck.

reboot phone, go to manage apps find wallet clear data, open wallet follow directions again, worked!

Set up new card & saw wallet was all working, opened and closed couple times, reboot phone.

Write to build.prop back to stock.

Reboot phone.

I had no problem installing this either, thank you. I added two cards (well one was already added), I can't wait to try it.

Also, I'm just gonna throw this out there cause I was a little confused at first, you choose one or the other on the build.prop method.

You either modify the build.prop yourself and then re-edit it after the install OR you use the Simple Build.Prop Editing. I was under the impression there for a minute that you needed to do both.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DrPhant0m:
I'm suspicious that this didn't go as planned... Let me explain what my process was, and maybe someone can help me.

I'm running Dirty Unicorns ROM (du_d2vzw_2013-07-21), and I ran through METHOD A in OP.

I already had used the Google Wallet Installer from Prl91, and it had been updated in the Play store.

I uninstalled the updates for Google Wallet in App Info, and then reset the app inside Google Wallet.

That takes care of steps 1/2/3 in Method A

my build.prop was already modified as in step 4, so I continued through the steps.

At step 13-14, after I enabled the Xposed wallet apk... when my phone booted up again, my live wallpaper (Ditalix) was gone (all black background), and the notification bar wouldn't show up. I couldn't pull down the notification shade, and I couldn't long-press the home button to open up the recent apps. My phone was also very slow at this point.

I continued to step 15, and set up google wallet, and then changed my build.prop back to what it should be, and rebooted my phone. This concluded the last step, 17.

When my phone restarted after step 17, the notification bar still wouldn't show up... and it was still running like crap. So, I began composing this message on my PC. While trying to get my build number for my ROM, I accidentally clicked "get the latest DU update" (Dirty Unicorns ROM update) and my phone soft-rebooted. No updates were installed or anything... but when it came back, my notification bar was back, but my live wallpaper didn't make it.

I uninstalled the Ditalix live wallpaper app, and restored it from Titanium Backup (lots of settings, etc).

At this point, my phone is running better, my notification bar is back, and my LWP app is running as it should. So... I might not have much to complain about... I was just a little suspicious at first of what was going on because my phone was in poor condition on speed and usability.

In my defense... when I started writing this post, my phone was nearly fubar... and it wasn't until my phone soft-rebooted that I regained any functionality, and I already had most of this typed out. I'm still curious as to what might have happened when I enabled the Xposed Wallet app.

So, I'm sorry if I raised a flag that my phone was broken, and then cried wolf. :eek:
