lol!!! I don't know whats that supposed to mean. And yeah I am new here. I have a life. I don't hang out at XDA forums, although I think I might start. Just for you ;)

P.S I'm not trying to be rude or an ass. I had a long day. Anyway I just don't see what that main purpose this serves. Oh well. I guess I should be a little more concerned about my privacy and security then right? Why don't you guys educate me? At least explain what the purpose/reason and logic is for doing this. I think ill refrain from this thread cause really I didn't have any reason to respond to anything, and don't wanna stir up anything either. I just don't see what the need for all this "Security" is. Then again you guys are the experts who am I to say anything.
[Security Discussion] zelendel:
The whole point is having your freedom taken away from you. It's not a matter of not doing anything wrong but I'll be honest you would be amazed at how much people do wrong in the eyes of the law. Take as an example. If you call some one any name at all you can be charged. Ever since people allowed the patriot act to be signed into law your basic freedom has been given away. Here we try to give it back to you.
[Security Discussion] freestilesteve:
Sounds good enough to me. Totally agree. I'm just surprised theres not like a rooted app for that, or maybe one of those xposed modules. Isn't one of them supposed to keep your data from leaking?? I'm not sure, but I just barely learned that stuff so I don't know alot, but aint it like protectedapp or something?? One them modules can't turn that off where no data can be leaked from the mic or camera. And you mentioned something with the baseband? Cant you just flash that like you would an iPhone when jailbreaking? So even having a module that could keep your apps/prog from sending data( i imagine there is prog/app for that or more then one) and possibly a module or something that could turn the mic and camera off completely? Or even some sort of custom rom? How would they be able to turn it back on from your device especially if you flashed the baseband, had custom modules set to certain settings, had your mic and camera totally disabled and whatever else you could do? Then again these little FBI bastards probably have sophisticated stuff that we don't have yet or can't get. Damn I'm gonna have to learn some more of this stuff in the future.
[Security Discussion] optimumpro:
You do sound a little disoriented: don't know why you are on this thread and yet posting. Heard of Xposed modules, but don't know their limitations. Talking about security and iphone and have no idea what it is about. Trolling? Just an educated guess. Regarding iphones: I know someone who is in forensics, he says when they get iphone, they celebrate because security is non-existent there. Actually, it exists in the eyes of iphone users only; for pros, it takes 40 seconds to get encryption key from hardware and take total control of the device.

Now, regarding Xposed: it works only against applications, but not hardware. Read my post again: baseband is a separate mini OS with its own kernel, which is hooked to hardware directly, that is bypassing Android. That's how it works in all cell phones. You can't flash baseband that is not created by a manufacturer. By the way, if you manage to create your own baseband (I am not holding my breath), you need to get it approved by the government.

And finally, regarding freedom: the point is not whether you are criminal or not, the point is: the government gets everything on everybody and stores it neatly for future use, in case you become important to them to start pushing your buttons. You may be content with this arrangement, but there is a sizeable and growing bunch of people who aren't. So, they share their know how to help others. That's the purpose of this thread.

[Security Discussion] freestilesteve:
Well put dude. :) Other than the disoriented part. lol!!

One thing though. I am sure you can flash basebands on iPhone right?? I thought I was doing that when I was unlocking them for people. And I know kernels could be flashed, so even after lets say after full system format(not wipe), new rom with kernel, or just a new rom with a separate flashable new kernel, etc etc and they could still hack? I've never did any kernel related flashes on android although I've did stuff like that alot in Ubuntu and Fedora, but don think thats flashing the kernel and is more upgrading/removing it. I dont ever use my camera and its not like I got anything to hide so I'm wondering if I should even worry about something like this? If you guys ever figure out a way how to block that specific hack please let us know. Its just not really something I've ever looked into. Other then gutting your device out if that ****s hardcoded somewhere in there what else can you do?

Download a Rom and put it in the same folder as adb. Open a command prompt in that folder. Plug your phone in and get it into recovery.

"adb push rom.zip /sdcard/"

This may take a few minutes.

Then install the Rom from recovery like you normally would.

What rom were you trying? You may want to try downloading it again or try to sideload a different rom and see if you get the same results.

Are you S-off? If so you could run a RUU to get you back up. If not, you could download the stock Nandroid (available here) and sideload those files and then just do a CWM restore.

Just push a ROM, get a working phone, transfer nandroid from PC to phones recovery folder, restore nandroid
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
Correct about no Aussie RUU. However since you have S-off, all you have to do is change your CID to match one of the RUU's and then run the RUU to reset everything back to default, and then just start over with changing CID back to stock or Super CID and then flashing a custom recovery and then rom of choice.

Hey guys,

So I just bought a Metro PCS galaxy s4 and the model is "M919N" (I don't know what the N means) but I was wondering if anyone could find a free way to unlock it?

Even the first step doesn't work. That code only works on TMO phones I believe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Atmazzz:
I've seen people with AT&T phones in the thread that said it worked. Not sure what may be different about yours. I thought the Metro was just like T-Mobile's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] anuderpins:
I thought so too. I have a Metro PCS Galaxy s4 and I wanted to use a T-Mobile sim card in it but it won't let me. I'm still looking around but I can't seem to find anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Atmazzz:
If what I read is right I know why that thread doesn't work for you. Metro is CDMA and doesn't use sim until Tmo phases it out and switches them to GSM. You don't have a sim card? Is that right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lojak29:
You cant unlock metro phones, the s4 I heard was supposed to support gsm and cdma and metro and tmobile are not phasing out each other ....there new upcoming devices are gonna be dual cdma /gsm and back each other on data where metro gets weak data tmobile gsm will cover and vise versa where tmobiles weak metro cdma will pick up coverage. .

Im not sure if the metro s4 has this feature yet

But thats the plan for this metro tmobile merge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] htcbrazilian:
You can unlock the galaxy s4 from metropcs my friend got it unlock but he had to pay for the unlock code he is using it on tmobile now . and when i put a tmobile in my metropcs s4 it works just asks for the unlock code . But i dont need to unlock cause i use metro anyways

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lojak29:
Then I guess that answers my statement on being unsure of the metro s4 apparently it is cdma gsm dual .

I only meant every other metro phone in the past was not able to be used on another carrier

Can you give me the site where your friend bought his/her unlock code?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Master Ramy:
Just to let y'all know:

Yes, the S4 is a GSM phone that uses both the GSM Tmobilr network and the LTE of MetroPCS, giving u the best of both worlds. When u get it thru metro u also get the best price (50 cheaper on the phone and monthly bill is lower too).

Since it is a gsm phone it can be unlocked.

To answer another question, yes u can use any unlocked T-Mobile or att device on metro at this time. The prices of those phones would still be the same monthly bill as a standard metro 4g phone (40 or 50 or 60)

Also, Metropcs does NOT unlock phones, but they accept unlocked phones.

Hopr this clears things up a bit!

Yes metroPCS accept unlock phones ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gsmsikar:
is there any way to unlock these phones for free?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dalephill2:
Metro should unlock for u, but will put up a fight no doupt, unless u tell them ur going abroad, and or have a second sim to use. All the gsm carriers csn unlock there own phones. There are unlock sites that will do the job to. the cheaper sites take long time, anything under 10-15. Usually 20-24 csn do within 6-8 hours.

NVIDIA® Tegra® 4 T40S with Intel HD Graphics (1.8 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache)

Graphics

Intel HD Graphics 4000

HOLY SHEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIII****!

I just found out that the HP Slatebook x2 comes with an Intel HD 4000, not the Tegra 4 GPU!

THIS MAKES THE SLATEBOOK THE MOST POWERFUL GAMING ANDROID TABLET EVER MADE!

http://anandtech.com/show/7190/nvidia-shield-review-tegra-4-crossroads-pc-mobile-gaming/5

The HD 4000 is roughly 1.5x faster than the Tegra 4 GPU. The HD 4000 is also roughly 3.0x faster than the Adreno 320 in the N7v2!

the price is not for me even though i spent 300 on the nvidia shield and 270 on the n7 i think its ok...i would not get it though after seeing how bad hp were with there own product that they killed in less than 3 months now they move to android. simple fact is i dont trust them period no matter how good the device may look.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Geodude074:
Psh! It's not too expensive! My 32 GB N10 was $30 more. So what if it's twice the price of the N7? It's also more than twice the value, so you're getting what you pay for.

If everybody used the argument "it's too expensive" then we'd all be buying $60 Chinese Android tablets off Amazon.

Yes the Tegra 4 is CPU/GPU married togeather. So is Intels CPU/GPU. So one will not work without the other, if it is, its the most inefficient use of resources.

It one thing is constant it lists the Tegra 4 and nVidia's new ARM architecture all over, its a Tegra 4 chip onboard.

As for the Transformer aspect, yeah with the battery dock and such it seems like it would be similar. Though at least with the rumored specs of the new Transformer Infinity it will have a higher res screen, USB 3.0 on the dock and battery life will yet to be seen but if its like the original, I could get 14-16 hours of straight use out of it with dock.
