[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masonfield:
This is a solid point about accumulating data. I do wonder how accurate the sensors are, though. For one thing they're taken only at the ground level, and then you have to account for the heat that builds up while holding it and web browsing/playing games, and then there's the issue of space as often times the phone will sit in your pocket or bag. Still, given enough people using them it could give something measurable. SETI certainly is making use of the great processors in phones to gather Scientific information regarding the Universe.

As for Apps, no idea. I mean, they managed to take the magnetic sensor in phones and make a metal detector out of it, so one can only imagine what can be done with the Humidity/Thermometer in other applications.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunt3r.j2:
The only new sensor is the hygrometer. Barometers have been in phones since the Galaxy Nexus. Temperature sensors have always been in the phone, it's just that they measure battery/SoC temps, not ambient air temps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruuvin:
Ya it will be interesting to see how data is dealt with, given that so many phones will be in pockets and purses, which to some degree is discoverable via proximity sensor. Other surroundings and vehicles that move the phones will be a challenge. GPS might give hints that it is in a car. Hot dashboard? light sensor. Air conditioner? hmmmm . Ya its all pretty tricky.

But it is amazing these days what can be sensed with a simple sensor. Like, keyboard keystroke capturing is being done via a phone sitting on a desk close to a keyboard, using the phones microphone and accelerometer. Yep! word capture eavesdropping to a pretty surprisingly high degree of accuracy!

The extra temp sensor in the S4 will be ambient right?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tft:
maybe one to detect bombs/radioactive/chemicals :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruuvin:
Hey cool image!!! 9 sensors listed.

They left out he GPS, camera, and microphone!

That's 12 sensors. Any others?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] MoodSwinger:
So I wanted to dis-spell some misinformation out there & on XDA and also help with some issues I see out there that I ran into and found solutions by trial and error.

EVERYTHING here is not my work just what I found out thru trying others solutions / suggestions.

I'm going to try & put everything I can in one central place so maybe it can help others as quickly as possible. I will put it in 3 threads linked here the only reason for 3 threads will be to keep info related to each topic in order. if there are questions & answers others won't have to sift thru PAGES of unrelated info.

Its going to take me a couple of days to get all the info up and will try to put it (or links to it) all in the thread.

Here are the 3 threads...

Jelly Bean Update

(done manually, Probs encountered & solved: "System 7" errors; Red Ring Boot lock / brick; other minor ones)

Jelly Bean Root

(done w linux / ubuntu guide. Probs encountered & solved: Network connection failed; Root success (fail); Samba fail; others)

GSM & Straight Talk (w working Voice, Data & MMS)

done w RadioComm hack & build.prop edits. (Probs encountered & solved: com.android.phone failed loop; APN settings; default network, others)

The bottom line...All of the above are possible and from my experience there is no issue that can't be fixed even a supposed "brick". Don't give up, the info is out there (and here in a bit), and there are some great Devs & contributors out there who really help out their respective communities and us users as a whole by their hard work, dedication and patience.

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO'VE Contributed.

Again I'm not a dev in anyway, All info Contained in these threads is "property" of others.

Notably...djrbliss, SamuriHL, TomSgt123 & Cellzealot. They are ALL OVER these different communities and threads contributing.

I started with a Moto Droid Bionic running verizon ICS stock.

Now it's Bionic / Jelly Bean (4.1.2) rooted & GSM enabled on ST.

( All 3 done )
[Motorola Droid Bionic] surechap:
Thanks this is what I've been waiting for. I've been able to update and root under jellybean, but can't get GSM to work. Every time I edit the build.prop it boot loops and I have to fxz jellybean and start over. Waiting for a complete guide. I'm wondering if its possible to get Tmobile to work I have HW A. Thread subscribed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
This definitely works on both T-Mobile and AT&T on HW A Bionic under the the JB 4.1.2 98.72.22 XT875 Verizon release.

I had to redo mine after I had a problem with the camera failing due to my using an older cdt.bin when I manually flashed with fastboot.

So I had been trying to figure out that problem before writing up the method.

When you make the build.prop edits for GSM service it causes a force close of com.android.phone and you have to perform a data wipe, unfortunately.

I can also create another zip file installation of the NV edit with the updater-binary from the new release, but it still has to be flashed from Bionic Bootstrap recovery and won't work in Safestrap, unless it has been updated recently to support flashing unsigned zips to the safe slot.

For most users, I think manually editing the NV with RadioComm will be a better solution.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wilsonc10:
Safestrap 3.11 now allows you to flash zip on the safe side. I have been holding off updating JB until their was a resolve concerning the GSM edits for T-Mobile. I along with others will be patiently waiting for you to post the needed edits for the new JB update. Thanks for all your work,, :good::good::good:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
Well, in that case, then we can probably make a zip file that does the whole thing in one operation and replaces the build.prop and removes STK.apk and VZWPhoneService.apk and performs the NV edit to 1877 NV_BC_CONFIG_I.

That would certainly make the write up a lot shorter and easier! ;)

I will talk to P3Droid and see about getting an updater-script worked up and a file that can be tested.

Neither of us runs SafeStrap so we will need to have it tested by others.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jrm5261:
can you please post your modified 4.1.2 build.prop?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
http://db.tt/4DAJyz8G

That is my build.prop file from Bionic.

It has some other edits included. We are working on a complete update package now for the hack that will make this very simple.

Edit: The update.zip install method is not going to work due to the new binary not supporting the motorola.update_nv function.

This is the same reason we can't make these zips for the MSM8960 chipset.

We are hoping to find a different binary that can be used to write NV that could perform the edit via a shell script, but that is a much more complicated problem than simply making a zip file using an existing updater-binary.

For the time being the modifications will have to be done manually with RadioComm or DFS to write the 1877 NV item and a root file explorer or adb shell to make the build.prop switch and remove the apk and odex files from /system.

help

i receive a bionic with jelly bean and i have already tried for almost 6 hours to activate the gsm band, i was thinking that it was going to be easy as the droid razr that i have, just i insert the sim card and upgraded to ics and the gsm band was working.

But with this i don't have the option to chose the gsm band and if i do the steps that i have seen i got a android force to close etc or a boot loop and i don't know what to do. I don't live in the USA so i was hoping that i was going to be easy but i see that is not easy. Can anyone help me:silly::(:eek::rolleyes:

Outgoing calls are restricted by FDN error

Hi and thanks for all the amazing help!

I installed the stock JB 4.1.2 image on my droid bionic and rooted the device using marty45714's easy root. In order to use the GSM network I used the radiocomm modification. I made the following changes in build.prop:

ro.telephony.default_network=7

ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0

ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength​

Upon reboot I change the preferred network type in Testing->Phone Info to "GSM only".

(A build.prop default_network value other than 7 crashes the user interface, continuously reporting that a certain process has stopped).

As far as I understand the above steps are exactly the standard instructions that have been posted for the trifecta.

The phone works perfectly fine until 36 hours or so after a reboot when I can no longer make outgoing calls. I get the following error when attempting:

Outgoing calls are restricted by FDN

Everything else still works: Incoming calls, sms and data.

A reboot restores permissions for outgoing calls for another day. I used two different Israeli SIMs with the same outcome.

My question, of course, is how to prevent the FDN restriction.

Many, many thanks!

issue with data on att non pre paid

I recently ran this hack on my bionic for my wife, she previously had a flip phone without a data package. Before adding a data package the bionic would connect to the data network and get decent hspa speeds however after adding the data package to ger plan it just says mobile network state disconnected and will not even get edge or gprs. Any ideas on how to make it work again?

Thanks in advance

Bionic Data Issues

Followed all the directions and have a Bionic working on T-mobile 4G LTE based Straight Talk sim card. Voice works great a little shabby on signal strength that I would like to see improve but most disturbing is the No Data connection at all. Yes on the bionic under settings the Data is turned on but the signal never shows higher than Edge even though we have T-Mobile LTE coverage (Tested by T-mobile phone) and MMS and Data is a no go at all.

If I need to change any settings please direct me to these settings with the new information I need to put in (I want to use the Bionic at its full potential). I have to get Data up and running because a Bionic with no Data is a paper weight.

Thanks in advance

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Z33type:
Just last week I was able to access #*#*4636*#*# on the dialer but now it keeps saying " Connection Problem or invalid MMI Code" I am not sure if I deleted anything,but I don't normally touch anything besides flashing Vanilla rootbox updates whenever it has a new build.

I am also trying to access 38456#*970# on the dialer and same results. I went back to stock rom and same thing as well. How can I resolve this? Does it have anything to do with the radio from Mako? Because thats what I have on my device. Radio from Nexus 4.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Pseudo99:
On the previous thread where we were talking, I said dial 3845#*970#. That's how I get to the hidden menu. I'm using AT&T stock firmware 4.1.2, build JZO54K, software version E97020j. I have the unlocked AT&T E970 model. If your model has a slightly different number, then you dial 3845#*XXX#, where the three numerical digits of your model number is where the three XXXs are.

I'm using BuildProp Editor in the play store to make the changes to enable the "Network Mode" setting in the mobile networks part of the menu.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Z33type:
Show me how to do that on the build.prop and I tried looking for the ro.radio and doesn't seem to show up on anywhere I don't know if its my phone being dumb but I'm getting tired of getting 3g and h+ I'm also sick of my friends getting LTE h+ living in the same area as me.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tekflow:
I'm not sure that GPRS is available with prepaid SIM cards. Probably, you can't have a GPRS connection, unless you have a fixed telephone line (I think). Do you have GPRS available (does the icon letter G appear next to the phone signal when you switch on your device) ?
