[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] colonel.shepard:
So does the tmo gs3 have the premium suite aka multi window?

Or should I just get the gn2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KingKostas:
No, but custom ROMs do
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
None of the US S3's have official Multi-window. The mod is for roms with 4.1.2 and there are some roms with 4.1.2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Actually I believe sprint, verizon and US cellular has the 4.1.2 update for their s3's. Honestly I found that multi Window is only useful when taking notes from the web or you cant copy n paste something to use in other app. But yeah to get multi window you would have to flash a custom rom. We have some good ones with multi Window. Tmobile probably wont give our s3 4.1.2, they just gave it to the s2 though, but we will be getting 4.2 after release of the s4 which is when 4.2 touchwiz will be officially released. Also will be getting 5.0 when that comes out.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] colonel.shepard:
is tmo generally only good in cities? Is coverage better than sprint?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Depends, I live in Scottsdale, AZ (basically Phoenix) and my signal fluctuates all over the place. If I'm outside I usually always have 3-4bars or 95ish dBm of HSPA getting 15-20ish mbps. As soon as I get inside a building signal goes to 2ish bars, sometimes to edge. It really varies where I'm at. I have friends in the same exact spot as me and we do a speed test, and they are about 8mbps below me on average, so I'm going to strongly say T-Mobile is better, where I live and hang out at.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Just look at their little map if they cover your city, generally they don't cover a lot of rural areas.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
check the map and look up your area. Tmobile covers most of the U.S. and major cities. Im using straight talk, using tmobile signal towers and sim, live in Miami, and almost always have full bars, rarely ever been under 4 bars. Also get 14-16 mbps average, always getting hspa+ even in moving car/bus. Would highly recommend tmobile if in well populated area.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Josh McGrath:
I used to work at sprint and their service is spotty at best. Their lte is a joke and has no building penetration whatsoever. The fact that I couldn't stream music while working out was the kicker and I went back to good service...tmobile! I was getting free service with sprint and still hated it.

Hi i tried to install older versions of viber on my ParanoidKangDroid Rom. (4.2.2) and its working fine. calls and messages.

The calls of newer viber versions are not working starting on any jellybeans custom roms.

I was running on padawan 8 before which is 4.0.4 and the newer versions are still working. but when i decided to upgrade and flash JB roms, i looked for a way to fix it. and BOOM! viber version 2.2.3 is working! (Calls and Texts!)

sadly i dont know a decent site to upload the viber version that worked for me! thanks!

Anybody who know how to make IMAP4 working on QTEK PDA. For somereason I can not login to my mailserver. Firewall is opened. Is PDA IMAP using any special ports ?
[Networking] IanF:
Mine works

Its not much help, but mine works:

Connection:

via GPRS (O2 UK), or via Wireless Broadband at home (no proxy, but basic firewall with no rules - Netgear)

Mail Server:

GopherKing

It does NOT work on my companys LAN as they have bared all IMAP and POP3 access on the company firewall.

If you do get it working, I would be greatful if you can tell me if your service allows you to delete mail remotly. I have no problems downloading mail, but moving between folders or deleteing mail does not get replicated up to the server :cry:

I am fairly sure Sultan kernel contains a cleaner.

You do not need to run the kernel,it is part of the aroma setup.

I have the photojojo lenses. They work very well. With the fisheye lens you can see a black rim on the edge of the photo. They are attached with a magnet that you put around the rim of the camera lens. I would recommend them. Just so you know the photojojo lenses ane not any different from the no name Chinese ones. They will work with any smartphone camera. Here is a review.

Confirmed working for JB 4.1 and 4.2

Please make any comments there.

----------

Motochopper is a root method made for the Motorola Razr HD by djrbliss (Dan Rosenberg), but is said to work on many other devices, including non-motorola ones.

Confirmed working with:

TF300T - 4.1.1

TF300T - 4.2.1

TF300TG - 4.1.1

TF201

TF700 - 4.0.3

TF700 - 4.1.1

TF700 - 4.2.1

ME301T - 4.2.1 (Memo Smart Pad 10)

Motorola Droid 2 Global - 2.3.4 (1 success, 1 failure?)

Failures:

Motorola Droid 4 - 4.1.2

TF700KL - 4.1.1

Notes:

It installs SuperSu (which will ask to be updated)

It installs busybox 1.17 (which you will have to update manually)

Backup your root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper!!!

This does not touch your bootloader.

This is mainly for people that just want root, and don't want to deal with (or need) unlocking.

Any idea if it might work for a padfone?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Morlok8k:
try it and find out!

Dan Rosenberg himself said it worked on a vast amount of devices.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
This tool will not touch your bootloader so it's not going to brick your device, just try it out and report back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] daemonios:
Good job spotting this!

I only have a few questions. I haven't rooted before because from what I've read that would require unlocking the bootloader, which I don't really want - for now :) Since this doesn't touch the bootloader:

- Does it break DRM for some apps?

- Does it stop you from getting OTA updates?

- Any other negative impacts of rooting (other than security issues, which I can live with)?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
1) No, only bootloader unlocking does that afaik

2) No

3) None that I know of but unexperienced users could create some "damage" if they use some tools without having a proper knowledge.

Just go ahead, root and have fun ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Morlok8k:
nope. (though i've heard of some apps that wont work on a rooted device - but I think thats part of the past now)

nope, but an OTA update will break root if you don't have it backed up with Voodoo OTA rootkeeper (or some other means)

nope. There is a security risk of keeping Debugging on as someone could potentially get into your device while connected to wifi... Or the risk of making stupid mistakes with root privileges (but that's user error!)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] baldbear:
1. YES, (I know that VUDU will not work on a rooted device), but, using OTA Rootkeeper will allow you to temporarily unroot and then the DRM programs will work. Turn root back on when done.

2. No.

3. Maybe, just be careful with system stuff. (and always backup everything before changing anything)
[Asus Transformer TF700] daemonios:
Thanks everyone! Am now rooted :D Went without a hitch, though I did worry about all the "adb server is out of date. killing...." messages as the script ran!

Now to investigate this Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper of which you speak and delete that nagging /system folder that's taking up space! (i kid, i kid)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Morlok8k:
yeah, i always remove that stupid /system folder right before i sell a device on craigslist... :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] TheMystery:
I have rooted my tab with this, very easy.

Is it possible to install a custom rom with root? or must you be unlocked for this?

Unlocking is not possible with my tab unfortunately, so can i tweak my tab on another way?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The biggest problem with a locked device is that you can't install a custom recovery. The second biggest problem is that you can't install a custom kernel.

With root, you can still modify the whole /system partition, so you can apply a lot of tweaks. However, if you mess up and it doesn't boot anymore, your only way out is using the stock recovery to reinstall the stock ROM and start modding from scratch (of course you can make backups).
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Are there any significant ROOT tweaks that can make much of a difference to 4.2 really?

Most things I saw were for ICS and since insignificant. Also apprantly browser to SD no longer works so that rules that out?
[Asus Transformer TF700] w4tchout:
As far as I can tell the stock browser is a lot faster since I installed browser2ram on my JB 4.2.1
[Asus Transformer TF700] TheMystery:
Have you read this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2227123&page=3

I have installed browser 2 ram and executed the following:

mount -t tmpfs -o size=50m browser_cache /data/data/com.android.browser/cache

But i do not notice that the browser is faster, how did you do it?

The above command must be set after every reboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kenryan:
I can confirm it works also, with an Ubuntu Linux host. Note for it to work I had to run it as root on the host side (otherwise the adb.linux binary could not see the tablet).

Locked bootloader, factory firmware with the 4.2.1 OTA update a few days ago. Never wiped, so I have all sorts of cruft accumulated which did not interfere with the rooting process.

Another thing that almost got me, as I was not paying attention. The rooting script appeared to hang, eventually I realized the tablet screen had turned off but it was waiting at a prompt for me (asking if I wanted Google to verify the new binary for me - I declined for obvious reasons).

[Asus Transformer TF700] Trigster:
So.. I rooted it.

Other then the "browser 2 ram" ability now on a locked device.

What other advantages do my tablet have now that it didn't before?
[Asus Transformer TF700] TheMystery:
Is it possible to disable fsync with the stoch rom and root? So far i can see not.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, not a the kernel level. It would be possible to patch the calls in the apps and libs (e.g. libsqlite).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paniak:
Hey everyone,

The motochopper method does not work on my TF700 (locked + stock rom 4.2.1). I have that kind of error message when I launch the run.bat file:

failed to copy 'pwn' to /data/local/tmp/pwn: Not a directory

Unable to chmode chmod /data/local/tmp/pwn: Not a directory

and after a reboot, it is not rooted (no SU installed, no root privilege for Titanium BU)

The latest asus drivers are installed on my PC - and USB debugging is enabled on the tablet.

Any idea to solve this issue ?

2. Put your device in debugging mode

3. Attach it via USB

4. Run this script in the same directory as the rest of the extracted zipfile

TY, I just tried. I got the message: mkdir failed for /data/locla/temp: permission denied. This may be normal as my tablet is not rooted.

Is there any other existing directory on the TF700 in which I could push the pwn and su ? Should I change the run.bat accordingly ?

Any other idea ?

Ty in advance,

[Asus Transformer TF700] krispy521:
I had all the same problems getting motochopper to work. The method I used to fix it was:

1. Factory reset.

2. Download the latest update from Asus's website (Rename the zip inside the zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and install from the SD card (Do it even if you are already on 4.2.1. This is the key to fix it) More instructions on how to do this can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755576

3. Put into debugging mode.

4. Run motochopper

5. Update SuperSu app and binaries

6. Install Voodoo Root keeper app and protect root.

7. Win.

I tried doing the motochopper after just doing a factory reset and it still wont work. You have to re-install the 4.2.1 update from the SD card.
