[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ron-ski:
I've just bought a brand new S4 I9505 at a bargain price from a friend who got it as a free upgrade, but didn't want it, or the hassle of selling it.

I've been trying to find out if the S4 supports wi-fi tethering on 3 UK, I'm not on a tethering contract, but have never had a problem with my HTC Desire or recently purchased S2.

I would normally just put my sim in and try it, but that would require cutting it down, something I don't wish to do just yet.

There's a lot of conflicting info on here, and the net, so can anyone say for certain whether it'll work or not please?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagnammit:
Before my 3 upgrade i had a sim only deal with UL Data, but i did have the option to tether on my iphone 4, never really used it a lot so not sure if i ever got charged for it. This time around, when deciding to go for the 35 or 37 per month contract i asked them what differences are there, one thing they did mention was on the one plan you can have the option to tether, thought to myself i could do that on my sim only deal anyway, but like a mug decided to go for the one plan. Not sure if that helps you at all
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pintycar:
I'd say it depends.

Is the phone branded? You can be 100% sure that if it is 3 branded then it will detect and report tethering, therefore it will not work.

If it's not, and you say your sim card worked fine on other (unrooted?) phones then it should also work in the S4.

I've got the One Plan myself so I can obviously tether as much as I like and it obviously works, but otherwise, you can always get around this with any of the apps available in the PlayStore (you need root for this) that route/mask the internet traffic data as android browser data, and then adhere to the rule of max 1gb per hour, and 3gb per day to not raise any alarms. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ron-ski:
Thanks very much for the replies, I hadn't subscribed so didn't get an email :(

The phone was originally on Vodafone, but is unlocked, there does appear to be some Vodafone apps, but not start up or shutdown animations from Vodafone, so doesn't seem too heavily branded. Hopefully the fact it's a Vodafone phone and not from Three will work in my favor, although I will eventually root it.

The other phones I've used are both rooted, an HTC Desire, and S2, I only tether very occasionally, when on holiday in the UK or just need a quick connection to setup another phone or use my tablet when out, so won't be using GBs of data.

I should have my SIM cutter and adapters (so I can refit in my S2 until the S4 is ready) today when I get home, so I'll give it a go tonight and see what happens.

Something I read in PC Pro recently about mobile phone companies blocking tethering using new methods, got me worried, and I'd also seen plenty of posts from people in America having problems, anyway we'll see tonight - does annoy me that I can't use my 1GB of data I pay for how I want to.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ron-ski:
Good news, cut down and fitted my sim earlier this evening, no problem tethering my Android tablet to the S4, was able to browse the net and even run some speed tests. Never tried my laptop, didn't want to push my luck with a different O/S.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] grundlestain:
I have been searching for a way to get my SPC code and have had no luck, I remember back in the vibrant days, it was as easy as an app, I have found tools that will pull it from cdma phones, but our s4 don't count. if anyone can point me in a direction to either pull the SPC or MSL for our s4 it would be appreciated, I am a beginner dev and trying to keep up, Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] george241312:
Hmmmm Msl codes are only for CDMA phones this would include only the Sprint Variant .... Not the T-mobile or Att Verison.

How ? Pay for it there are plenty of sites that get it for you for $2 dollars or less...

But if your talking about Network unlocking the phone ... go to T-mobile or any phone shop with a skilled tech he will unlock it ....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] grundlestain:
specifically I need the spc code but they are seeming used interchangeably where all searches take you, that's why I included it with my post... its for tinkering with more advanced settings myself,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] george241312:
Its like 2-5 dollars to get it calculated ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] basil 8386:
S4 spc retrieval

Its simple, go to the play store and download get my msl. Then go to the dialer of the phone, type ##data# and click edit, where it asks for the spc, put six 0's. Only do this once or your phone will restart, It will tell you the code is incorrect. Now go back to "Get My MSL" and click view MSL, profit!

Why nobody invests time to get ANT-Stuff working in the 4.2 custom ROMs? Working ANT+ ist more important for me than HDMIout or FM-Radio.

Hi I softbricked my panasonic eluga icon while installing xposed framework. Now it is stuck on the screen with the name panasonic on it. I am able to get to the recovery screen but should i wipe the data for the phone to work again.

I tried running adb shell in adb command window only to get an error list of devices attached

0123456789abcdef device offline

then i choose "apply update from adb" on the recovery screen and when i try adb shell it says list of devices attached 0123456789abcdef sideload

I am completely dumb with mobile phone and android part. I am totally helpless and do not know what to do. Please help

If there is a video where you can point me to, it will be greatly appreciated sir.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

With all due respect for everyone, For panasonic eluga users I dont see much assistance available around. So let me tell you how i came out of the softbrick mode. I was continuously getting the panasonic screen beyond which I could not go. It was stuck on the word panasonic. Then what i did was I wiped the data whcih is factory reset by going to the recovery mode (recovery mode can be found by Pressing the power button and volume up button simultaneously).

All this time the mobile was connected to the PC via the usb cable. I then restarted the mobile twice with the device connected to the PC. Nothing happened. Went to ADB command window, searched for adb devices nothing found. Then I took the cable out of the mobile and tried to go into recovery mode again and it restarted with a message stating optimising app 1 of 35 and then it went right onto the startscreen asking me for foofle aco**** details.

I know this doesnt make much sense but this is how i got my phone going from soft brick mode.
