[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phanox:
Hi xda community. I've been trying to spoof the MAC address and do a WiFi tethering while using that MAC to share my network with no results. I used various apps in the store, the yellow wifi one, the terminal commands with busybox, searching the nvram.info file (is not there) and nothing works. I'm trying to do this to spoof the Nintendo Zone Streetpass relay for my 3DS with the community of gbatemp. I'm using CM 10.1. Thanks in advance.

How to spoof Mac address

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phanox:
Thank you. I already tried that app but when I change the MAC, it opens automatically the WiFi network menu and I don't need that. I need to change the MAC address of the wlan0 and tether my mobile connection with that MAC. When I change the MAC with those apps in the play store, they revert to the original one when I start tethering.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phanox:
Nevermind, I hard bricked my phone and I couldn't revive it using the 300k ohm jig or button combo. It can't even reach download mode, so I'm screwed because I can't buy another phone.

Nobody? I've been flashing a lot of roms and kernels to see if I can find the file ".nvmac.info" but still nothing, and the app of WiFi Tehter 3.4 Experimental still doesn't spoof the wireless MAC address. Please, ¿what can I do? Thanks in advance.

Bump! Does anybody know?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scroll1:
I'm trying the same things with my Note 2. I can spoof the MAC address in the terminal. But! as soon as I start tethering it uses the original MAC address of the device. There must be a reason for this. I've tried many apps out there but can only change the MAC address in wifi mode, as soon as I start tethering, it uses the origianl MAC address.

Anyone else experimenting with this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ehnoah:
on Thethering it uses different Mac for me so the "Original" MAC Address isn't used for thethering it is a different one

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mars83:
Hello,

My uncle from Chicago can buy me new Google Nexus 7 with LTE support. If it comes to GSM and HSPA+ are the same in US and EU.

North America:

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)

LTE: 700/750/850/1700/1800/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/13/17)

Europe:

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)

LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)

But LTE is kind of different. Will it work in EU with no problem?

Also will Asus EU repair my US Nexus 7 without asking questions? If they don't care I'm getting that this week :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fsi09:
What is your provider and where do you live ?

Edit: Seems like you live in Poland :D

CenterNet and Mobyland have 1800MHZ so it would work.

But I think 800 and also 2600 is used, so it may not work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mars83:
Well I live in Poland and in Ireland as well :D

In Poland there are 2(Cyfrowy Polsat, Plus) providers who provide LTE 1800MHz, so its ok?

I never heard of CenterNet and Mobyland :P

And how Asus is respecting warranty in EU? Do I need to buy some extra coverage for WW (like Apple with AppleCare) warranty?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fsi09:
I think it will work but I'm not 100% sure.

it could be a problem occur during exchangeable because in EU they only have the EU device so this could be a big problem :confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mars83:
I have asked US customer support and the only info they could provide is that for all the model numbers they checked in warranty box it says "local warranty" which basically means that it's for US but Sean adviced to ask European branch of Asus if there would be any problems.

Unfortunately I will get some information on Monday because in Europe we just started our weekend :D

I will keep you posted!

Today I decided to install the latest Stock FW: I9300XXEMG4/I9300DBTEMG3

I did a complete wipe/factory reset and a flash counter reset in case I have to send my phone to samsung. And right now - I dot get any freezes?!

At the moment I plugged my phone to my Linux PC and I am running:

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do ./adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/storage/sdcard0/tempfile$i bs=1085000 count=1024; done

This does create 10 >1GB files on my internal SSD storage and fill it up to ~100%

I will repeat this a couple of times to cause a freeze - bt I had right now no success after 3 times of running that loop (~30GB written). It looks like the Stock FW does not have any freeze problem?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gena72:
Hi guys,

My company has MS Exchange and BES servers installed, and few of my co-workers are using the BlackBerry services with regular BB devices. Currently i'm trying to enable this on my XDA IIs (Asian, with latest ROMs). I got the service enabled on my SIM card via my local carrier (Orange Israel). I've tested the SIM on a regular BB device and it worked just fine.

I've installed Blackberry_1.2.4.19.cab (and also tried HTC_PocketPC_TMO_Austria_Germany_Load_Working-1.cab), but the service still does not work. Either the PIN number is not assigned, or the PIN number reported on the device does not match the one in the BES. When i run BBConfig on the desktop it reports that the PIN is not configured.

Also, where should i enter the "activation password", which is generated by the BES in response to a PIN?

Maybe someone can post a step-by-step guide on how to enable BB service on HTC Blue Angel with BES?

Thanks!

When used as a BB what are the cost like? Is it just a case of installing the cab? Where do i get the cab?

What protocols does it support? just exchange?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gena72:
There's a small initial connectivity fee for enabling access to BB APN (blackberry.net), and then there's a monthly payment. I'm not sure about the real costs as its handled by my company.

In theory installing the CAB on the device and BB Config on the desktop should be enough if you have a BES server that pushes your e-mail. CAB can be downloaded from forum's FTP site (use the search function to find the exact link).

However, after installing and enabling everythin i still can not get it work. Hitting the "connect" button on the BBConfig results in an error message, and the BB client on the device can not connect to the server.

I know that some people managed to get it working. It would be great if one someone could post a detailed guide, as my operator would not provide any support for HTC-based devices.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Jiggy:
Getting BES to work on T-Mobile

Some non technical experience:

I run the BES on my MDA III. Whilst I am on T-Mobile UK, our Corporate BES is Vodafone based.

After downloading and installing the BB PC desktop software from T-Mobile Germany (it is in English) for the MDA III, the client software is already resident on my MDA III (it is in the latest extended ROM), I had to get it enabled by T-Mobile. T-Mobile had to send the appropriate service books to the device AND enable the individual sim card at a network level (this latter issue took some discussion between my IT Department and T-Mobile UK).

Since then I have been up and running BES with no problems. The monthly service fee is around £30 from memory (so it is not cheap! :shock: )

Hope this helps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdelano:
I just wanted to share this experience of total lack of empathy on Sprint's part.

First I've been a Sprint customer for 13 years and have recommended their service many times over.

I've become ill and am now disabled. Because of this we're trying to reduce our monthly expenses as you may imagine.

So, I called customer support to ask if it may be possible to waive our EFT so that we may switch to another carrier that offers a much lower family plan.

I spoke to a person named Michelle in the retention department; who showed no sympathy what so ever. In fact, and I am quoting, she said "the fact that you're now disabled is a personal problem".

I understand that I am basically asking that they allow me to keep my phones (2 of the 4 were bought through sprint both over a year ago) the other 2 were purchased outside of sprint (eBay) and activated. There are no mitigating circumstances programs or even any sign of wow 13 years we've made a ton of money from you already. How about I am sorry that this has happened but unfortunately we can't help you.

She was starkly unemotional and represented Sprint as a cold heartless company that ONLY cares about your $$$$ period end of story.

I will be sharing this story on every web site and even news organization that will take it.

They want loyalty yet they show no appreciation for said.

Shame on you Michelle from retention, you're a heartless person you could have handled that MUCH MUCH better.

I'll be leaving this company and spreading my experience.

[General Questions and Answers] fredmanwalking:
I recently got a Nexus 4 to replace an original Droid Incredible. I'm currently using it on the T-Mobile $30 prepaid plan. Not surprisingly, I'm enjoying the upgrade since I had the Droid Incredible for nearly 3 years and have been missing out on the many updates to the Android OS. My wife also has a Droid Incredible and I'd like to get her off Verizon Wireless so that we can cut our total monthly cell service costs in half. I don't mind being without true 4G service, since I'm usually near WiFi and don't mind frugally adopting new tech.

Unfortunately, the upgrade to a new phone doesn't have the same appeal to her as it does to me (an IT guy). Specifically, she doesn't want a phone with a huge screen (the Nexus 4 screen feels a little big for me even) and she doesn't need something super powerful, since I know she never even tapped the full power of the Incredible when it was new. I don't want to get one of the underpowered versions of flagship phones that a lot of manufacturers make, plus I also want to buy it unlocked and out of contract. Closer to a 4" screen, is better than closer to 4.5" screen. She really likes the size of the Droid Incredible just fine and she has a tablet and laptop for when a larger screen is in order.

I've searched around online and the current ideas that I have are HTC One S, Samsung Galaxy SII or Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini. It looks like the later two are available on Amazon.com for decent prices, but the HTC One S looks like it may be trickier to find new. Has anyone else found themself in this this situation? Any recommendations?

^^^^ This ^^^^

You can't know everything - but read first and you might find likely candidates. Otherwise you will have to accept a compromise, which is almost always necessary with Custom ROMs anyway.

As for 'minimum RAM consumption', you would be well advised to go and do some reading. 'Free RAM' is wasted RAM in Android. The OS knows how to use all the memory available and then free space if it is needed.

Well, new start with a better post :) no anger anymore.

I would suggest that we first do some research about the possibilities before starting a bounty. Another question might be if money is really needed to do this - just want to say that there might be a way without paying money - and if there is success many people will be lucky to throw some $$$$. ;)

As a first step I will invite Ravi into this discussion who found a possible way to perform an unlock. It's still very hard for sure and we will need some really skilled people like Hash code to throw in their mind , but maybe it's worth a try.

And Semseddin, never mind, let's just forget that last conversation :)

Have you called VZW/moto in reference to this topic? I am positive you will get a legit response...

Well, there is still that efuse problem. But Motorola might be able to unlock it by RSA keys. But I don't believe in them...

I was taking to some others, and the most related solution could be a custom bootloader being loaded from sdcard. But therefor we need a way to bypass the signature check - as I know. But this is also the point where my knowledge stops and people like Hashcode (he told us privately) didn't have a further look at this. They spent about two years (and they are still spending time) for kexec. Maybe because they don't see another solution. But I don't know it exactly, That's why I invited him into this conversion, hope he will join soon (will ask him in hangout when he's online).
