Does Simple Mobile have access to wifi calling? If so, that needs to be off and you need a usable (data?) connection.

If you still can't change it, make a nandroid, and flash an AOSP ROM and do it there. The forwarding settings are stored on the provider's end, so they will not change when you change ROMs. If you are on TW, I think there are also service mode codes to do this. But I don't know what they are, because I was using AOSP at the time.

Hello,

I recently had to do a warranty exchange on my s4 because my power button was stuck down. I believe it was due to a case. Anyway when I receive my replacement device it came preloaded with the new mf3 build. When I went to root with motochoper the process goes through like normal and when I reboot I see the SU app but do not have SU permissions. Is this because of the mf3 build or am I doing something wrong. I have latest USB drivers, updates abd interface, kies not running in background, USB debugging enabled running win 7 pro 64bit. Any direction in the right way would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking of just taking the phone apart and swapping the power button and just send the replacement back.

Thanks in advanced,

Dave

MF3 is a problem. You can now root it, but you still cannot put a custom recovery or ROM on it. Maybe at some point someone will find a way.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KalleEatingBrain:
Hey,

I'd really like to create mods out of features I like in StockRoms, but I can't seem to find any resource on how to do it.

My Asus Memopad HD7 comes with a nice app (ASUS Splendid) to adjust screen settings (hue, satturation, color temperature) which could propably make screens of other devices more enjoyable. The Bravaria Engine from the Sony Xperia devices is a similar mod, so maybe someone involved with this mod could give me some hints and tipps.

Attached are the *.apk and *.odex for the app, but simply installing it on another device is not enough. I suspect there are other changes that need to be done, to run the app on another device. Deodex possibly? Tweak target framework?

I will transform this into a guide/tutorial as soon as I know what to do.

Any help appreciated, I'm not afraid of the thanks-button.

Best regards

Kalle

Hey all,

Just curious if anyone has been able to get the PS3 controller working over Bluetooth with their new Nexus 7? I have tried with the Sixaxis app from the market with no success.

Maybe a new kernel is needed?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] whoa718:
I got it working had to root first tho
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sirbanger:
Do you use Bluetooth or USB OTG to connect?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] whoa718:
bluetooth
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sirbanger:
Hmmm, I'm rooted now... How did you go upon getting it to work?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] swagstr:

Search for BetterDS3 to pair your controller on your computer. Works like a charm!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sirbanger:
Tried this already and also paired with the pair tool but the app didnt work, it kept asking to plug in via usb to connect... :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] randaddy:
I was able to pair to my rooted N7 using the sixaxis tool and an OTG cable. Otherwise, you have to manually enter the bluetooth address of the controller using the sixaxis pair tool (http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html).

I had to try a few times to get it paired successfully but in theory, all you need is the sixaxis app and a rooted N7. The OTG cable makes pairing easier since you don't have to find out the bluetooth address of your controller, but the PC method will take care of that if you don't have the cable handy.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] swagstr:
Ohhh.. I always forget to mention. When you are pairing your controller on the computer, you have to enter the N7s address in backwards.

N7 Address: 3F:45:67:89:4D

Enter into Sixaxis: 4D:89:67:45:3F

Super weird but it never fails ;) Used it to sync up and play some Riptide yesterday. Been using the same method for months on other devices.

P.S.: I use BetterDS3 because last time I tried, Sixaxis Pair Tool did not work with W8.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chelonee:
Hi all =)

Since I got my GT-i9505 I've been experimenting with different Roms. Of course, this can't be done without a good recovery.

When I started, I used i9505 TWRP 2.6.0.0 and was really happy with it. But after flashing a few Roms, I had more and more errors/bugs and decided to try another recovery.

I'm now using CWM based recovery 6.0.3.2 for i9505 and it works nicely. But when I tried to flash CM 10.2 i had a "Status 7" error and my device suddenly rebooted and now I am concerned that it might happen again.

So now I'm wondering, which is the most reliable recovery for our GT-i9505? And what is the difference between the CWM based Recovery and the one from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager ? The "original" recovery seems to be more up to date, but can I use my backups with it, too?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

None of the recoveries are 100% yet.

Look HERE

I use PhilZ.

Most of the time it works.

Some ROMS will give me error status 7.

Just wipe clean and flash again.

Sometimes , it has taken 3 goes to get a ROM to load.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chelonee:
Hi there =)

Okay, good to know. I was just wondering if there is something like the best recovery since all seem to have their little bugs and errors.

And since I soft bricked my device last week, I just want to be super careful now. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

There is no "Best".

Otherwise everyone would be using it. :p

You will not brick your phone installing any of these recoveries.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] slamdunk:
Hi all,

I'm trying to get a magician off ebay and i need some advice. As i understand the ROM are different for different carriers (Tmobile vs others) Which rom is more stable? I'm not too familar with rom upgrades. Are all imates jam/MDA/xda mini unlocked? Is there anything i should look out for when choosing different versions?

I've also read online that the BT stack for magician is not using a standard driver. So is it compatible with most BT headsets? Will file transfers with other phones using BT work?

Sorry for the many questions. I just needed some encouragement/advice before i spend the money to get this device :) Thanks a lot!

Hi! I updated my S4 to the latest firmware. Now m having issue in wifi. It stops downloading apps and speed is slow also. It gets disconnect and connect from wifi its self. No matter how near you are to you wifi source. Any suggestions that what might be the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
I assume you did not have a problem on MDK.

I had a similar problem after flashing an ME7 ROM and then back to MDK (can't say I really checked while on the ME7 ROM). I finally removed anything that might be trying to control WiFi (Battery Guru, Llama, etc.) and also turned off Power Save mode. The problem has stayed gone ever since. I haven't had the time to go back and re-enable each of those in sequence to track down exactly which was the problem.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It is booting to recovery, stock recovery.

If you want CWM or TWRP recovery internally, you must install them. Go to verygreen's emmc CM10.1 thread and he has flashable zips to put one on your internal memory, replacing stock recovery.

Or, as you said, you could just boot to your CWM SD that you used to install Carbon.

20% off coupon

This is Office Max in-store coupon for 20% off; it includes tablets and eReaders. Of course, Office Max may not be near everyone, but you can try price matching with Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy in-store.

If in-store doesn't work, you can always try through phone order or online chat. I got the 32gb one for $215+tax through Office Depot chat online (rep didn't let me get the 16gb since Office Max website doesn't show the 16gb one).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jdmdc2y0:
Used the same coupon and picked up a 32 gb for $233.89 after tax. Good deal! But OM seems to be OOS around orange county, heard they will get new shipment Monday.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jdmdc2y0:
Very nice! I wished it was tax free in CA. I also bought OM protection plan for 2 years. Anyone have experiences with OMs protection plan? Debating if I should cancel it. The girl that worked there said I can return the tablet in any condition within 2 years and either get it replaced or refunded full amount with a gift card. Sounds too good to be true. :confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
You should see if there is a deductible and whether it covers lost/stolen and physical damage.

$54 off is amazing. I would jump on it before OM decides to exclude certain devices or cancels the coupon. I paid full price at Amazon the first day it went on sale (Friday). Paid $300 for Saturday delivery. Returning it and buying locally would be lucrative. I wonder if Amazon will price match if I call them. Tell them I'm within my 30 days and I can save $54 if I go through the hassle.

Hmmm.

I sent them an Email saying that I am within my return policy and would like to see if they would Price Match the coupon. I linked the coupon and the a image of the scanned receipt. We shall see.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] antoniouslj:
Just took the coupon up to Best Buy to see if they'd price match a refund since I bought mine on Friday, and they did. I walked out with $49 cash in my pocket. Thanks OP!

I bought mine from BB as well. So you still have yours and you just went in to see if they would match the difference?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] antoniouslj:

Got mine from BB last week and used a GC for part of the purchase, called them up and they said they do not price match post sale.

But are you saying if they did give a refund from a price match after sale....and you used a gift card for part or all of the purchase.....you only get $10 back?

I also thought the salesman at BB told me when I was completing the sale, said "You can not return for refund, you can only return for exchange."

Of course it sort of went in one ear and out the other as I thought to myself....why would I think of returning for a full refund. :p

Bought my Nexus 7 over a week ago, last Tuesday. Went to Best Buy today with the Office Max coupon, tablet, box and receipt. The Geek Squad clerk took the coupon and my receipt to talk to a manager. Ten minutes later the clerk said they only price match a competitor at the point of sale or 24 hours after. I was dumbfounded. I asked him to re-iterate that I only have 24 hour window to find a lower competitor's price? He said yep, that's company policy. So I returned it on the spot. I even did a factory reset and removed my screen protector in front of him. Walked out the door and went to Office Max to buy a new Nexus 7. Best Buy not only missed out on a sale but is now stuck with an item they have to sell as an open box.

Another "Office Depot accepted it" confirmation

My local OfficeMax is out of stock and I had no luck getting Best Buy or Staples to honor the coupon. However, the local Office Depot accepted it without a bit of trouble; all they asked was the ability to retain the coupon for their records. Out of the three stores, I was happy to give my business to OD, even if I did have to drive a bit further. So, just wanted to provide another confirmation that your local Office Depot might be worth a shot if OfficeMax is out of stock.

This was after I had returned my first N7 to the Office Depot I originally bought it from after it presented with dead pixels then bought one from Office Max because OD didn't have another 32gb they could exchange for me.
