[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howard bamber:
Ive a bird Chinese phone. It had two legal EMEI numbers,which worked as I made a call.

The problems started because the menus were in Chinese. Holding my note next to it I figured where the factory reset line was. Pressed it and all seemed well,in English,BUT it wiped the numbers.

The phone only has 4gig of ROM and it seems

This was for the system and apps. Why the bit where the imei was spotted was not protected I don't know. I've tried the codes Zopo phones use to put them back but no luck. The maker offered Chinese software!

The numbers are printed in the normal place - the is nothing illegal about this. Can anyone help? Id happily give photographic proof the numbers belong to the set.

Thanks.....:banghead:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eike Kusch:
Hey everyone, forgive my bad English, not my native language. :p

As the title says, I have problems tethering with my galaxy S3. My provider is Orange (France). I knew when I bought it 2 weeks ago that tethering wasn't part of my package but I have been doing it anyway with my galaxy S1 for 2 years with a slim ICS ROM (a CM one).

So as soon as I got the phone, I tried tethering with the stock ROM and confirmed my provider was preventing it and offering various pricely offers via an internet page when trying to tether... Then I rooted it and flashed CM 10.1. Tried tethering. It worked fined for a couple of days but now I get the Internet page from my provider offering tethering packages. I've been searching on the net for solutions but can't find any.

Some people think it's due to the Agent User. I think it's unlikely. Others think it's due to the fact that I got a new Sim card (micro sim). I tried a few Roms but nothing changed.

Funny thing is I managged to put the new micro Sim Card in my old galaxy S1 which normally uses old Sim cards and guess what? Tethering works like a charm...Should I keep the old S1 as a modem? I'm always on the road and kinda need the tethering. :crying:

I wonder how my provider knows I'm tethering with my S3 and sees nothing with my S1? I did a factory reset, data wipe, formated the SD card but it still doesn't work. Do you have any advice/suggestions? I'm at lost here. Thanks for you help :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
that's illegal, you're violating terms of service
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
So you pay for tethering GlenBun? That's bull. I shouldn't have to pay to use my own internet I already pay for. That's retarded. I don't tether much at all, I do if I need to though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
It is of course not illegal to tether .

It may be against your network / contract rules and invoke a penalty is all .

Penalty can be charges or more usual a cut off of data .

As i understand the network picks it up on a measure of the data flow or something like that .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It's the carrier's way of protecting themselves. A computer uses much more bandwidth than a mobile phone under normal use, according to them. You pay to browse the net from your phone.

If your carrier charges extra for tethering - regardless of what you feel you should be allowed to do with your plan, then circumventing these controls is stealing. If you need tethering, you need a plan that includes it. Dont ask people on this forum to help you break the law
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
illegal as in violation of the contract.

if you don't like it you should switch carriers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eike Kusch:
I'm sorry if some of you feel offended. You are right and I have been using tethering for so long that I didn't think that what I was asking on the forum was illegal. Didn'twant to start a debate either. :p

I did some more research and found a way around my problem. It's a bit annoying but it's still better than having to carry my SG1 around (which I keep as a backup plan :laugh:).

Thanks for answering and sorry again for asking you something illegal.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Indeed, because your Nexus 7 has an Android User Agent string in the Android Browser (much like your phone) and your Desktop Browser does not have an Android User agent String... So packet analysis identifies your laptop as being a computer, ergo - shouldn't be connected to the network
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
"Illegal" requires a law to disallow it, in contrast to broken tos which invoke a penalty and/or revokation of the contract.

Huge difference, same as in rooting being against certain ToS but never illegal in sane countries.

What most people talking against tethering do not realize is that most old internat contracts on Dsl prohibited the usage by more than a single computer.

My old (Galaxy S1) contract for mobile phone included 30Gig traffic but I was disallowed to visit any webpage containing pictures, videos or other media, use Voip, or download stuff.

Would you _really_ follow that contract to the letter?

Usually a vpn connection or removing their proxy from the APN is enough to bypass filters.

Any encryption (like https) will work fine too.

Circumventing contracts to take something for free that you are supposed to pay for is stealing. In the UK stealing is illegal last I checked. Just like downloading an album from torrent sites or watching cable through a chipped box

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petros_tigra:
Good Morning

I make this guide because i dint find any similar thread here..

When you set up a vpn connection Android system force you to create a pin or pattern security lock for lockscreen.This is for security reasons in case you lost your phone.But many users want to use VPN without security lock.

In this guide I will describe how to remove security lock when using VPN.

This guide will work on any GN2 Rom and also in all other android phones

What you will need:

1)Rooted Phone

2)Root explorer or any other file editor

3)Sqlite Editor or Sqlite Manager

Before you proceed make sure you make a nandroid backup.Im not responsible for any damage.

Steps:

1)First of all configure your VPN Connection

2)Open your file Explorer and browse /data/system/locksettings.db

3)Open it with sqlite editor and choose locksettings

4)Choose lockscreen.password.type and press "Edit record" button.

5)Change 131072 value to 0 (131072 may differ from security type)

The result must be this:

6)Thats it:)

It must be applied without reboot

PS:If you want to restore it do the same steps and make "0" value to "131072"
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imranhakro:
How about doing the same in non-rooted phones?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0x64:
Thanks for the guide :)

I was looking for a solution to the lockscreen security the other day while setting up a VPN to my home PC

Another alternative for rooted users not wanting to edit the sqlite db is to use something like the VPN Root app

The top three are the newest version, read the op and download all three then goto rpm page and download three corresponding rpm's. Flash in recovery one modem and rpm. Wipe cache and dalvic and fix permissions. Reboot give it a shot and see if settings works. It should. Each radio (modem & rpm) can give you better or worse signal, speed, etc. you just have to try and see which is best for your phone and location. These are Verizon only.

I think it would change just the moddified files, I guess. I will try an report.

It doesn't work. I have installed today's update then this modded ROM and then today's update again.

How often is you going to be updated this ROM?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Does that mean it did what I suggested and wiped out the additions? That's certainly what used to happen with older versions of CM and I would expect exactly the same to happen still.

It's the same as with the PDroid version - unless the OP sets up his own automated build system you can often find the build lagging behind the nightlies. That's why they often choose to base a modded version on the most recent 'stable' CM and then have to update it less frequently.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LGaljo:
I think I found a bug. When I am charging my phone over USB or AC the button's lights are always on.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
That's not a bug. You've got the screen set to "Always On" when charging, and the buttons set to "Always On" - therefore the buttons will always be on when charging?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mozcch:
Awesome!!!!This is what i need.Great job!

If qmemo can also turn on by long press menu/quick setting panel,that will be perfect.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arararagi:
The button lights function as battery lights by default. Disable it in settings -> system -> battery lights.

It's difficult to release just modified files (as you can see from my kernel and other QuickMemo thread, it becomes a mess) and now that framework modifications are involved, it can cause conflicts if they are flashed over a CyanogenMod version that it wasn't designed for.

It might be possible to get the button backlight feature upstreamed in CM, but I doubt they'd accept any of the rest.

I'll look into setting up automated build, and also getting the source modifications organised on github or similar.
