You should be able to do that by going to settings/data usage, select the app that you want to limit and scroll to the bottom. There should be an option that says "restrict background data" with a check box next to it. Tick that and see if that's what you're looking for.

Hey Guys,

I'm having trouble with my NFC staying on, I turn it on and turns right back off.. Thought it was the ROM I was using but when I switched it was the same thing.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tijayz:
So I've noticed that IrDA port isn't working on AOSP roms.. After searching around I saw that people keep on bringing it up over and over again - however, it keeps on getting forgotten about.

So I thought maybe we can start a bounty for a dev who can figure out how to make the thing work and compatible with existing applications on the market (Smart Remote, Touchsquid, Peel). **or** develop an root-enabled version of a remote control app that can work without the need for the IrDA service (see below) and is semi-usable (say with generic Pronto codes)

The only thing I was able to find is this post --

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36283352&nocache=1&z=1999432687849488

That talks about the ir_send file and the need for a service with two functions.

I'll start by putting down $40.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tijayz:
So I wonder - does anyone actually want this feature working? Seems like people don't care that much about it on AOSP.. Maybe the thread needs to be moved into general Android dev - might get a betterer response.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crdnilfan:
IMO, IR is a "wow look at my new shiny phone" feature. When people install a custom ROM they're giving up things like smart screen, the screen hover stuff, and a ton of other pretty cool but not practical features.

So while it would be nice to have a working IR port, it would also be nice to have smart screen working for the head orientation based screen rotation, and the cool finger hover effects, it will not prevent me from going to AOSP.

tl;dr - It would be nice to have, but it's not a deal breaker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klick37:
This in spades. All of the strange little features that come on the S4 don't matter to me nearly as much as the speed and customization offered by custom roms/kernels. Of all the silly features, though, having a working ir blaster would probably be my first choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legacystar:
Once Google releases the nexus version we will have the drivers and everything for the IR emitter
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blackhand1001:
Yup, its the first time since the original galaxy s and nexus s that s series has had an identical nexus variant. Just look at how well the original galaxy s phones run aosp. Flawlessly.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00329:
Hi,

I'm on stock 4.2.2 rom with root, custom recovery and franco kernel. What's the safest way to change kernel without losing my settings and data (and without breaking anything)?

I know that some kernels on the Nexus 4 modify files on the system partition. Does this apply to kernels on the Nexus 7 as well? If so, I'm guessing the best thing would be to reflash the stock system.img before flashing a new kernel. Would I lose root by doing this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nico_60:
You can change custom kernel, you won't lose anything... If you want to return to stock kernel, you have to download factory image of your ROM and extract boot.img and then flash it with fastboot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The safest thing for you to do is make a Nandroid backup before you begin. (Maybe get a copy of that backup off the tablet also to be extra safe.)

You can always go back to exactly where you left off that way if things go south.

BTW, you should have also done this before you flashed the Franco kernel, as well. Any future OTAs are now unlikely to succeed on your device (unless they do not include a kernel update, and that is somewhat uncommon). But having a full-stock backup allows you to roll back to that state, take the OTA, and then re-apply your customizations (e.g. Franco kernel).

good luck

I have used the twpr and I made a wipe cache+dalvik and I flashed the kernel and I didn't lose anything
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paulmc:
guys,

In the US TMo has a feature where you can type '#646#' (646=min for minutes used). I have this in my speed dials so all I have to do is press it and I get me minutes used back.

This doesn't open GPRS so I assume it is an automated SMS message that is sent out. It returns the minutes used with a ballon that comes out of the signal icon. It displays waiting and then about 2 seconds later display Phone at the top blue part of the ballon and in the body of the ballon it displays "As of 11-08 05:16 PM, 55 Whenever minutes used"

This doesn't show up in the SMS log as out going or incoming and it also doesn't show up in the call log as a call is never placed.

Anyone know how to determine what their doing, duplicate it after each call (some times there is a several hour lag before it is updated), look at the call log and add on the calls sense the last update for a currently used number of minutes to be displayed on the today screen?

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zabes64:
some countries its #121# or #101# something like that, its just a command function basically sent to them giving back information that you requested
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paulmc:
Yep so a simple app that allows you inter the comand (or comands) to be sent and then a simple string parser that allows you to pick out which characters of the string you want displayed on the today screen would be nice. We can also us #225# (#bal#)for balance.

I just don't know how to send out the command via a program and how to intercept it on the return.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edsub:
None of these codes seem to work on T-Mobile NL.

Would be handy to get info on the remaining minutes of the monthly bundle this way (they do supply that info via the internet though).

Did you search your local TMo site for options like this? You could also start hamering through the 1000 combos to see if anything works!

So I think i bricked my phone. i was rooted with motochopper then twerp recovery then loki then aokp. i tried to update and without the auto loki and it said it dont have a genuine att software. so i downloaded the orginial firmware that adam put up and i odin flashed it and its stuck on the att logo. any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dxwilliams40:
As long as you are in a bootloop, you are not bricked. A brick would get no response, no charge or anything. If you odin back to stock, get into stock recovery and do a factory data reset. If you had a twrp nandroid back up saved to your ext sd card, you could re-root, re-install twrp, and restore back up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shiftkenny:
So i downloaded the factory rom and odin but its stuck on the att logo. and my phone heats up slowly. im screwed lol

[General Questions and Answers] LazyNDaCrazyDayz:
I have an app on my phone that I would like to prevent from being uninstalled in the event of being lost or stolen. How would I do this. I have been searching the web and most people say its not possible but how is that bloatware is seemingly impossible to get rid of? Would it be possible with a rooted phone?
[General Questions and Answers] jboyer0000:
The best way would to put the app in /system/app but you'll have to be rooted for that
[General Questions and Answers] LazyNDaCrazyDayz:
Yes I am rooted. How would I make it so the app installs with all the current settings?

For example if I have an app that shows me the current location of my phone via email I would need the email settings to be loaded each time.
[General Questions and Answers] jboyer0000:
After you move it to /system/app and set permissions just log in like normal and all of your settings should still be there... just keep in mind a factory reset or a need rom will delete it. So after each time you flash a new rom you'll need to move the app back to /system/app
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Bear in mind that the first thing anyone will do if they steal your phone is wipe all data, so this won't achieve much unfortunately.

Besides the pushing of that old topic, I've tried a number of the newer/recent firmwares and they all have one or the other bug. Something is not working, crashes, or screws up. Nasty stuff sometimes. I am back to the 2.3 series, and perhaps I may refresh my now very old MacLite with a Sharp version. Depends a bit on my time, but I think it's still the better firmware for our phone. That is, one where everything works!

Yeah it's true that we are still struggling to get a good, nicely working ICS+ ROM. But without trying new ones, it's impossible to fully utilize our device capabilities.

My SGH-T999 (T-Mobile Galaxy S3) is soft bricked.

When i try to boot the phone, it vibrates and nothing else.

When I try to go into recovery mode, blue text appears in the upper left corner and nothing else. I use TWRP.

The phone can go into download mode, but the phone shuts down shortly after it boots into download mode.

This happened while trying to flash CM10.1.0 and GAPPS 20130313.

The battery is at full percentage. (checked on friend's phone)

Is there anything i can do?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: Advice

Since you say you can go into TWRP recovery, try this before doing anything else.

Go into TWRP recovery and do a "factory reset", "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache in TWRP recovery.

(do not wipe system yet)

Then reboot the phone see if it boots up all the way...

If it does then you should odin flash the new 4.1.2 Jellybean stock rooted rom before doing anything else.

If you cannot use the Windows Odin, install Mobile Odin on the phone so you can flash the Odin flash stock

rooted official Jellybean 4.1.2 rom. Let me know if you want more help....

My advice is and has been for a long time is not to flash any CM10/AOSP/AOKP or PORTED roms.

Those roms for the most part were always intended for developers who really know what they are doing.

They are also really excellent for any one who likes to do a lot of experimentation with their phones.

The above is just my personal opinion after my own experiences with the ASOP/AOKP/CM10 and PORTED roms.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
My opinion is to read and flash things that don't have people complaining constantly, so look back and see which dates people were happy about the nightly or go to milestones instead or even RCs. To a point junky is right but they aren't for devs nor are ports since there are about 4 very stable ports in the dev section.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deus_eps_machina:
Hey Guys,

I apologise for the long Title but I coudlnt figure out a better way to to title the thread...

anyways I went to bed and plugged in my phone as per usual with an alarm set for 1230pm. come 1230pm, alarm goes off, i snooze it until 1pm. The next time it goes off, the alarm sounds for about a split second and then its off - I didnt turn it off.

So obviously i am a bit concerned since this has never happened before. I check the device and its off. Mind you this entire time the phone is plugged into the wallcharger from HTC.

I think its a random reboot (which i have never had before) and try to reboot the phone - nothing happens.

I try the hard reboot - nothing

The lights, both soft keys and LED for power will not even turn on or respond. Plugging it into a computer, it isnt recognized. Its as if the device is just dead. The power was at 100% too.

I would like to add that it is currently plugged in. I am hoping it simply, inexplicably lost power (happened on my Xperia T) and i have to give it some long-term juice. It does get a bit warm while plugged in right now.

it was running CM10.1 nightly 5-20.

does anyone have any insight or advice for this?

This is the 3rd incident that I know of a phone dieing. Mine was one, then there was another, and now you. All running CM 10.1. When Mine died I was transferring files via usb with the computer so I figured something fried in there (weird but the only explanation at the time). I came here for help too. That phone is long gone at this point. The thing is that I was told it's very very hard to brick a phone like that with S-on. :confused:

I don't know. I do love CM but i'll be waiting for a stable build before I go back again. GL to you. I had it it returned under the pretense that it was a hardware failure.The other guy who's phone also bricked said that there is some sort of issue with the batteries or something. I haven't confirmed that with anyone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bonely:
You can try to scan the cm 10.1 forum. they are pretty unforgiving if you brick your phone. Try to get a logcat to them so they can take a look at it (sarcasm). They completely ignored my post (I had the alpha when it crashed and burned). He the other guy also posted there and they did go back and forth for a few post, but they squashed it pretty quickly. I haven't checked any of the AOSP forums, so it may not be CM 10.1 at all. It could very well be hardware issues. Either way, with S-off its very hard to do something like this and I'm really more convinced its hardware. But unless it can be confirmed that AOSP didn't cause the issue, then i'll hang on to my doubts and wait for something more stable. I give maybe a month or 2.
