[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirere:
This actually should not be possible, given the MAC address is a physical attribute (although ofc you could use software to mask it). Guess your kernel must be reading it wrong. To my knowledge, it's not like 2.4GHz/5GHz have separate MACs.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocobo87:
I know this already lol, so how do I fix it?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirere:
Depends. Nothing stock should be acting up like that, so you could try a backup/factory reset, or if you're en route to root, then flashing a different kernel would probably help.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocobo87:
Yeah I did a back/factory reset already. I don't really like rooting because I don't know how to maximize the benefits.

Send back to RMA? lol

OR maybe root and unroot back to stock?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocobo87:
Thanks!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocobo87:
So am I only doing the 2nd link? Just download the SDK then reload it?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
The first link in that post really is just saying to make sure you have the most recent updates to the drivers and SDK, as these are the tools with which to perform the task. Some people had old versions already installed, so its also a reminder to make sure they are updated. Some aspects of the SDK prompt people to update, but running the SDK manager to force the update check is the best bet.

Then yeah, the second link has most of the true steps/content to do the re-install. :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocobo87:
Well I'm somewhat sure that the SDK is the latest because I just got it back from RMA, and they put a new MOBO in it.

Thanks!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
A little confusion - the SDK is the software development kit, so its just the software you have on your PC. (Not related to the firmware or anything on your tablet its self.)

For example, if you never had it on your PC you'd get it at http://developer.android.com/sdk/

But then people don't realize you should still run the updater for that title, because it can have very recent updates.

You have to use a Windows executable in the process called fastboot.exe

Some old versions of fastboot.exe don't have all the features that the newer fastboot.exe's do...

:good:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocobo87:
Yeah I'm not that good when it comes to these things. I know this is kind of asking a lot, but could you make a step by step to what I need to do? For example, 1. download SDK tool, 2. update tool, 3. stop being a noob lol

Thanks :D

EDIT: I downloaded the tool, and I don't know what I am supposed to do...

I'm looking at the 2nd steps from styckx, and I don't know where the tool comes into play :(

EDIT2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7W3bFNdJ8I Followed this video, and my MAC address still is a shape shifter -_-

Where the hell on the O2 website are the terms?! How am I supposed to find them?!

As a result I'm going to ignore this special offer (cos there must be a catch) and they can continue to stick their over-priced picture messages up their holes. It's irritating how badly organised O2 seem to be at everything!

[General Questions and Answers] AndroidPantechFlex:
Ok so i was using my Android Pantech Flex and the only reason i rooted it was to get rid of the soft keys and completly use my fullscreen, so i found this application called "Full!screen+" and also i downloaded this app called "LMT" which lets you use pie, i think its called like that to be able to just do gestures to go to home and back buttons etc. Unfortunately the Full!screen+ app got rid of the soft keys and status bar but it was no problem because i had the LMT application installed as well. The whole BIG PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I looked up a video on youtube to just remove the soft keys and be able to enable the status bar and what happened was that i got this app called ES FILE EXPLORER and went to "/system/build.prop" and at the very bottom i had to type this code "qcmu.hw.mainkeys=1" and i saved it, then i rebooted my phone. Then After the Reboot, My phone was showing this message every second saying"systemui has stopped working, i Looked it up in here and i saw a thread were it said to factory reset the phone to fix it and i did but everything got deleted no more root apps were installed But The FULL!SCREEN+ App was still activated but no longer installed? and thats when my soft keys dissapear and i still kept on getting the systemui. has stopped working, so now i cant navigate my phone to go back or press home button to go back unless i keep on rebooting. Even a font that i had installed still is actvated aswell. But Please Help ME! This has stressed me out because i just got my phone like 2 weeks ago and now i want to completly remove the root and keep it on stock rom Like a regular phone before it was rooted please Help Me i want my regular phone to be back to normal :(

Hello all. Long time flashaholic with the sgs2 and sgs3. I counldnt help myself and bought the S4. Beautiful phone well made with really good battery life. The only problem is that god awful touchwiz ui! I have read and read about rooting this device but have just gotten more and more confused. Can anybody lead me to a site that will have some definitive information about rooting this phone. Knowing me I will be flashing every new rom that comes down the line so I want to get it right. By the way its a i9505 running XXUAMDE in New Zealand.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ti325:
i9505 cf root

I also do not understand this comment regarding cf-root....

CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.

Would this root method work for aosp roms or something like Paranoid Android?

:eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
I would do what I did two days ago.

Download Philz touch .tar for 9505.

Use Odin and flash recovery.

Reboot into recovery and when you reboot from recovery it will prompt you to install su binary.

Done!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aranock:
I have a T-Mo Galaxy S4 that was SIM unlocked through unlockerDotnet.

I've heard that the T-Mo S4 is better than AT&T for a variety of reasons, but more importantly that it picks up all of T-Mobiles HSPA+ along with AT&T's network. So in theory, having it sim unlocked, I could fully utilize t-mobile's service and at&t's service to their full potential. Can anyone confirm this?

Reason I ask was I was speaking with a TMO rep once and he said the international unlocked version wouldn't pick up on the full spectrum of TMO frequencies, but it should be fine with AT&T. Ideally I want to get into a situation where I have the option to jump between the two through their full spectrum, or any mvno's that use their towers as well.

Thanks for the clarification! :laugh:

Details and specifics appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tengtengvn:
You can enable tmo AWS bands on AT&T S4. 2 phones are the same, basically the tmo version has the extra bands enable out of the box.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aranock:
Thanks for the heads up :good:

So there wouldn't be any disadvantage to running the sim unlocked TMO S4 on ATT? I'd still pick up on all their 3g/4g/lte frequencies?

Much appreciated my friend
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tengtengvn:
It will work its full potential on AT&T network if that what you want it to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SlimJ87D:
Wait a minute... The ATT version has the tmobile bands too? I thought it was missing two of them.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aranock:
I got another reply on a different forum that said

"T-Mobile's phone will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile however im not sure if the 4g LTE will work on AT&T's Network but either way you will only be able to use one or the other at any one time."

So, just to clarify, or rephrase rather, will 4G LTE work on ATT's network with the sim-unlocked TMO S4, or would it be beneficial to go with the ATT S4 and open up the TMO bands?

Sorry to beat the dead horse, just want to try and verify HSPA+ and both Tmo LTE and Att LTE will work with my setup, or if I should switch to ATT or International Unlocked version.

Again, many thanks for clearing this up!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aranock:
K. Can anyone help me out with that last question that knows LTE tech fairly well? I read a bit about frequencies here and from what I can tell it seems like the LTE frequencies are 1.4MHz, 3MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, and 20MHz pending which geographic market you are in, but I'm not sure if there's anything else hidden in regards to carriers have specific LTE frequencies, and if so if any that a TMO sim unlocked S4 doesn't have.

In the end, i'm 90% going to be on TMO or a MVNO, but on the slight chance (or if i'm working around the country in a very rural area) I may want to switch to ATT and possibly their new prepaid service they're going to announce. Anyways, thanks again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevroc:
My unlocked TMO S4 works perfectly on ATT LTE, doing it right now and have been for the last few weeks. That's why I bought it also was to hop between carriers.

While you can get the ATT S4 to work with TMO it's more difficult and not ready to go out of the box. I tried that and ended up just returning the ATT one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tengtengvn:
T-mobile just dropped the price of their S4. There's no reason to get the ATT one but in case you get one and want an easy way to unlock the extra bands, follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2324667

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Monad_Mind:
Hi everyone.

So Ive been having problems with my glide keyboard being loose. everything else was working fine tho. today it completely fell off, only the screen cable/ribbon were holding the two pieces together. so i decided to take apart the back panel and reattach the keyboard. a few screws to take take out and put in. a simple fix right? wrong! after finding the screws to replace the missing ones that caused the keyboard to fall away, and putting everything back in place... THE SCREEN WOULDNT TURN ON! the phone did light up and vibrate but the screen is completely not alive. i took everything apart again and even double checked the screen connection, tried again and lo, the screen still wasnt working...:eek:

i dont know what to do....is there a possibility that i damaged the ribbon, or i need to reset something... what could be wrong?

been searching for fixes all day and came up with nothing... any help would be appreciated :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
Don't buy this SD. I don't know why, Sandisk usually make good SD cards, but i'm at my 3rd and i still have the same issues. I decided to buy a Samsung 64GB SDXC UHS-1 Pro and i've had none of the issues. This card was about 20$ more but its was well worth it. I bought my 64GB at bestbuy, after 2 weeks i exchanged it for another, then after another 3 weeks i had to RMA because bestbuy didn't honor the rest of the warranty, i got the new one back and again the same issues.

The issues are:

- the sd would not be recognized by the system once every 2-3 reboots

- it would put my status to custom once i transfered music onto it

- it would eject for no reason (did that twice)

- it heats up really quickly when i have stuff on the SD like pictures or files

- it would freeze when opening music app, i had to reboot my phone to fix

I've seen many others with issues with Samdisk 64GB cards, so this thread is just to tell you that you are not alone, and buy Samsung Instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nakedninja42:
Weird, I have had the same Sandisk 64GB that I bought a year ago for my S2, used in S3, and in use now with my S4. I liked it so much I bought one for my wife's phone recently and we have no issues with them.

Not saying that your wrong or anything, but that sucks you went through three with the same behavior...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
maybe you dont use it the way i am...do you use isyncr or doubletwist? Because all issues appear when I transfer my music to the sd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] krips2003:
I don't know about you, but double twist is basically PITA. The double twist always messed up my alarm sound (usually song), that was stored on the external drive. Initially it worked fine, but some update broke lots of things in the app, and this happened when I was using Galaxy S3. I don't use that app anymore and I have given that app 2 stars. Also, if you think that those 2 apps are causing the issue, then it might be an issue with those apps and not the sd card. Though, I never experienced issue about 'system not recognizing the sd card'.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nakedninja42:
I did use doubletwist in the past but not since getting the S4. I use the SD card now to store TiBu backups, nandroid, music played by Play Music, and videos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
That would be true IF the samsung SD card would react the same way, but it doesn't. If you check all my post in the past 2 months, i have done A LOT of research and troubleshooting before making those claims. I have isolated the issue to the SD card, and the only way i could confirm my claims would be to buy a new one, which i did and it did confirm my troubleshooting was correct
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] alphadog00:
I got the Sandisk SDXC 64gb class 10 Ultra card from Amazon over 6 months ago and it works great for me. I have a bunch of movies and music, record HD video and all my pics to it - no issues at all.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
bought from bestbuy and rma'd to sandisk directly, so its impossible
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] alphadog00:
I would not say impossible, but highly unlikely. There are going to be bad cards made - no doubt about it. But the volume of bogus ones is huge, and I still believe that is the basis of most problems.

Official. I'm on Stock. Using the 64GB micro SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 card. Formatted w/ exFAT (because I have larger than 4GB files on my card).

Same as the previous 2 posters. No issues here with the Sandisk. I did buy the Sandisk micro SDXC card that is marketed directly for phones. I know Sandisk makes another one (same specs) but the package says it's for cameras.

Not sure if it really matters, but I opted for the one for phones just in case it was "built" differently.
