Have old Droid and was using Foxfi. Loved it, but now won't work with new OS on Note 2. Have unlimited data and need wifi tethering. If there was something like foxfi that would work I would be interested, but Verizon has blocked foxfi/pdanet now. Was told by a few people that I need to root to install app to run wifi hotspot because I still have the old unlimited data plan. Don't want to go in to Verizon to get new phone and their app for hotspot because it will cap my data (limited to whatever you pay for). Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
To use Foxfi you will need to root, but like I said, just using a tether toggle widget will bypass the activation screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] buffalochick:
Thank you

I would LOVE to be able to use wifi tethering without rooting, but I cannot find anything that will work. Don't want bluetooth, want wifi. Spend my life in a hockey arena and soccer and softball field and need something for kids to connect to. Cannot find anything to work on 4.1.1 (Note II - SCH-1605) for Verizon. Do you know of something that will indeed work? I have the older unlimited data plan. Foxfi is blocked.... Thank you so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
What he's telling you to do is download just a hotspot toggle from play. It will bypass the Verizon activation screen. Here's one

Hi

I did try searching but couldn't fine any else with this topic open.

Sometimes when using my note the screen go off and I have to press the power button twice to get back to lock screen to login.

I knw a few have mentioned this when using LN but I have found i have the problem at random times.

I have change both my display setting locking and screen going off.

But none seems to fix this.

Has anyone else had this problem?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hygradeb:
I contacted samsung and was told the normal wipe system (factory rest ) I have done that before and when asked with the same problem.

The next fix by them was to take it to a walk in centre, my tablet was sent to Samsung in about feb.

So that wont help.

I have seen sum1 say the fault only happens with auto brightness on.

So I will try with this off unless sum1 can say if the fault us still there either way.

Ok, sorry that this could be a noob question but i was understand that we cant update our phone to the latest official firmware by OTA of pc companion after unlocking the bootloader and rooting. So my question is what are the ways to update the phone to the latest OFFICIAL firmware update? :o

Preparing for the JB update from now :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] maxgo1:
OTA is the one of methods to update firmwares (Officials)

Flashtool is another method to update firmwares (Officials), but the difference that you need manually download .ftf firmwares.

Okay, so the specs of my phone are in my signature below

What i want to do is, be able to view my phone through the PC via USB

Bear in mind this

My phone screen is cracked completely :(

The phone is responsive, registers touch but i cant view anything on the phone, the Back and menu button light up but the actual screen which shows everything doesn't light up, it only responds to touches

So i really want to find a way to view my phone contents through the PC so i can make necessary backups

I dont mind if i cant control my phone via PC

I can use my still touch responsive screen as an input

I have installed ADB drivers for my phone on the PC

I have seen some apps which do this but you need to sync by entering the IP address shown in the phone and naturally, i cant see whatever is there

If there is no possible way, please tell me and give reason so i can update the thread title to [resolved]

I just asked this through curiosity :confused:

Link me to any threads which meet my demands

Remember I cannot view anything on my phone as the screen displayed nothing
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] a|\|droid_user:
There is this app called droid@screen,it requires you to install android sdk and java ide on your pc...if you have enabled usb debugging on your phone...which i hope so...

Then the app can pull screenshots through the adb interface and display a live view at 40fps...

Just google the app...

Check if its fine for you...

Sent from my WT19i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Naweed Reza:
I shall try it

I guess android debugging is turned on

Hopefully *Fingers crossed*

Because it is always on normally

Send me the link for Java ide download

I need to see if i downloaded it or not

Probably i did

I will try it now and see

Any instructions on how to use it or is it simple?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Naweed Reza:
Okay did everything, it showed my homescreen in the screenshot are but then it went and nothing

It shows device status Rejected

:L

What does that mean? how to fix it

I know that USB debugging is enabled

Because when installing device it shows ADB installed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Naweed Reza:
Okay o i just had to redirect where adb.exe was since the directory changed

And it works

Thanks alot :)

Now i cant try and install a proper app and view the IP so i can control it over the air via video

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneapan:
Hello everyone,

I seem to have come across an issue that no one on the Internet has run into (I've searched Google for days trying to find someone who had the same experience as me). What happened: I cracked the screen of my brand new Nexus 7 3G tablet. What I did: I phoned the official Asus service/repair place, and asked about how much it would cost to repair it. They replied that it would cost 242 euros for the repair (VAT tax included). Considering that this is almost as much as a new tablet, I thought I'd try to repair it myself using parts, however I couldn't find any site selling the screen assembly for the 3G variant.

What I ended up doing: I got a cheap 8GB Nexus 7 and tried to take the screen assembly from it and use it on my own tablet. The shocking conclusion: It's not compatible. The screws that fix the assembly to the rest of the device are placed in different spots, and the shape of the assembly itself is incompatible. I could have tried to pry the screen off of the assembly and glue it to the 3G's one, but that goes way beyond my skill and knowledge and honestly I didn't want to risk ruining a second device.

Searching Google and a variety of other sites has yielded no answers, and I can't find a screen assembly made for the 3G variant anywhere (there are sites like eBay that list screen assemblies for Nexus 7, but my suspicion is that they are for the WiFi variant only and thus, incompatible.

So I've come to ask this: Is there anywhere I can find a screen assembly for the 3G variant? There seems to be absolutely no information on the Internet regarding this. What else can I do besides paying the obscene amount of money the service is asking for the fix? Honestly I'd rather just throw the tablet away than be ripped off like this.

TL;DR version: Is there any place I can get a screen replacement for the 3G variant of the Nexus 7?

Thank you in advance and sorry for the wall of text.

Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.72 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneapan:
I've tried to do that but I ran into the same problem, where the screws on the board differ between the 2 devices, and the frame is different too, so I couldn't fit the board from the 3g device into the wifi one :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
so did anyone ever find a source for 3g displays? i would like to not have to separate the screen from the frame, but all i can find is the display/digitizer assembly, or display/digitizer with the frame for wifi nexii, which are lacking the 3g antenna and do not have the correct screw threads.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneapan:
Unfortunately, I gave up searching after running into dead ends for a few weeks. Now my Nexus is tucked away in a drawer, doomed to be abandoned for the foreseeable future. If someone else has had any luck, please post here your experiences.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
I have a Nex 7 3G with a broken screen. Replaced it with a regular digitizer for N7 wifi and it works fine. Don't know about the antenna since I don't use the sim card anyway. But that's one way to salvage the tab. Removing the bezel on the N7 8gb is not that hard. Heat it up around the edge with a heatgun at 500 degrees for 30 seconds and just peel it off the digitizer or wedge a guitar pick in between and slice it off the touchscreen. You can use a hairdryer instead for a bit longer.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneapan:
And how would one put the new digitizer assembly in the frame? Would a special glue be needed, or something?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Any kind of glue that works on plastic and glass is fine so long as it remains flexible after curing time. A strong double-sided tape is an alternative. Some people just preserve the original tape on the bezel. I personally found it to be too weak once used.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
i ordered a screen from aliexpress. came relatively quick, including more than enough double-sided sticky stuff, three (!) screen protectors, screwdrivers, a plastic lever, guitar pick thingy. managed to break the new screen while putting it in the old frame :( cos i heated the frame a bit too much so it got warped at one corner...

Wrongly ordered wifi only version full display set

I had the same issue and ordered Wrongly ordered wifi only version full display set on ebay which came and tried to install in but as expected the screws were not match and i tried to cut of some hinges but later when i powered on the display is really bad its pixleted and colors are corrupted.

touch seems to working but not usable. Any ideas? what can i do with the distorted display?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneapan:
Hmmm. It might be caused by a difference in how the actual screen works for both models (wifi and 3g). But at the same time it can be an issue with one of your connectors (they are easily damaged even when you're careful), I had a problem with the LCD flex cable connector on my tablet when I first changed my screen. It looked very corrupted when I powered it on and was really worried about the screen itself. I bought a replacement cable from ebay and it turned out okay for me.

Hi:)

İ want to flash stock rom.

Which stock rom is the best?xxlm6 or xxlm8?or another?

Sorry for my english:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
I am not sure what the BEST means here... I guess any one of the value packs are good (both roms you mentioned are in that category. I believe there is a newer one for Bulgaria - Check Samfirmware.com) However, I strongly recommend not to flash the radio (baseband) but just the ROM. Radio part is location sensitive and it is "supposed" to be optimized for the region you live in.

Best stock rom mean:Best smooth,stable rom

[One (M7) Android Development] salada2k:
Some of you are like myself are having trouble getting the fastboot drivers to install correctly on Windows 8. The device is always showing with an exclamation mark on it in device manager, and 'fastboot devices' shows nothing. There are other threads out there on XDA which detail methods, such as KidCarter93's method here which show you how to force install the Win7 fastboot drivers on Windows 8.

The problem is this doesn't work for some of us, and I suspected it was something to do with my Ultrabook only having USB 3.0 ports, since my other Win8 x64 box with USB 2.0 ports has no such issue.

I had a poke around and found this site here which shows you how to remove the Microsoft USB 3.0 drivers and instead install the Intel USB 3.0 drivers on Windows 8.

After following the procedure carefully, I can confirm this fixes the problem for me on Windows 8! After successfully installing the drivers, fastboot started working immediately for me.

Step 1: Install the HTC drivers from the standard HTC Sync Manager (Win7/8). If you are on Windows 8.1, please use the HTC Drivers linked later in this thread here (thanks Kardus!)

Follow KidCarter93's method to manually install the Win7 drivers. Read Here. Or you could manually install the latest drivers being maintained in this thread here. I tried them all before arriving at a fix, so my system isnt exactly clean, but I'm sure you could try one or the other as the important part is step 2.

Step 2: Hit up Plugable's site which has a great step by step explanation of how to install the Intel USB 3.0 drivers. Full credit to Jerome for writing the guide, and Ekko who did the original work.

UPDATE: As per Coolookoo's discovery (Thanks Coolookoo!), if you are using a 4th Gen Haswell based Intel CPU, then you need to get the Intel USB 3.0 drivers from this link here instead of the link at Plugable's site. You will however still need his modded .inf files.

Step 3..... Profit

You should now have fastboot working flawlessly on Win8 x64 with USB 3.0, and as a added gift some older 'incompatible' USB devices that you may own should also now work under Windows 8.

Would love to hear some feedback on how this went for you.

If it helped, please hit the Thanks button!

Thanks!!

Great post, thank you!

While I'm not going to mess with the 3.0 drivers (seems there are advantages to using built-in stack for supported devices), this did at least point me in the direction of using my 2.0 ports instead for fastboot, which works great.

Intel 4th Generation USB 3.0/2.0 Fastboot Fix

Hey guys after many hours of trying to get my USB (3.0 and 2.0) to work with fastboot and none of the solutions working for me, I have finally figured it out.

This should be able to help people with the 4th generation Intel CPU's as far as I tried. I personally have the Intel i7 4770.

The pluggable website which describes the process for switching out windows USB drivers for intel ones gives a link for the driver. This link doesn't work for 4th generation CPU's.

I have the 4th generation intel CPU (i7 4770) and the link to the driver doesn't work for 4th generation CPU's.

For 4th gen CPU's you have to go to this link and get this driver instead

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/De....0+eXtensible+Host+Controller+Driver&lang=eng

And then follow the rest of the instructions.

If still having problems... I also updated the 2 inf files to include the correct driver version and date version so I opened them up in a text editor and edited the date/driver version on the line "DriverVer="...

So mine was DriverVer=5/25/2013,2.5.0.19

Also the path to get to the driver is

SetupUSB3/Drivers/xHCI/Win7/x64

Hope this helps other fellow 4th gen CPU peeps. It solves the fastboot problem for me. :)
