Title says it all. Details about my setup are in my sig.

How does mine compare in general? I've been trying to optimize battery and performance. I think its good. But could I do better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You have Wi-Fi off most of the time and very little screen on. Any one can 10+ hours that way with little drain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] toxicpaulution:
That's what I was thinking. When you do something like photos below and then have questions sure. But when you don't use your phone and show it means nothing.

Its not amazing but it happens.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelsp9:
I always have my mobile data turned off so that I don't get charged for it extra on my bill as I don't want random apps to be using data in the background without me knowing. I want to find a way to only enable data to the app Cerberus which can track your phone and stuff when lost. Is there a way to only enable data on certain apps because I don't mind paying a few extra dollars if that means me finding my lost phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallardo5:
If you go to settings>data usage and tap on an app in the list at the bottom of the screen, then you have an option to turn off background data when using mobile. See screenshot (it's in polish, but you get what I mean ;) )
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelsp9:
I don't know if that will work because I really just want data enabled for one app that I can utilize remotely to track me phone
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallardo5:
Disable data for every app except the one that will track your phone this way then :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelsp9:
How?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleuwave:
A firewall from the play store. I recommend Android Firewall.

Edit: requires root
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karishnu:
Use droidwall (rooted users only)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelsp9:
OK so a firewall did work and let me set which apps I want to allow WiFi and data... However it was really annoying because after I install a new app it would prompt me asking me to set the settings up for the new app... I don't want to keep doing this for every app I install is there any other way??

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
While I was writing and testing a WP 8 web app, I had it connected via wifi to Fiddler2. When I plugged my Dev Unlocked HTC 8x into my computer, the phone "dialed out" to h ttps://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010/DeviceStatus?deviceId=deviceid&fulldDeviceId=fulldeviceid The response is an XML packet that tells the phone how many days are left of being DeveloperUnlocked as well as the number of apps that are allowed!

this request/response sequence happens EVERY time I plug my developer unlocked Windows Phone 8 into the USB port of my Dev PC and PIN unlock it.

Keep in mind I installed the root cert that Fiddler generated for my PC a while back, so it can decrypt HTTPS traffic to/from my phone.

If anyone knows what the integer equivalent of "that magic DWORD value" is, I will craft a custom response packet and see if it changes anything.

Please see the attached screenshot for proof!

Edit:

So I did try GoodDayToDie's xaps and it looks like increasing the value from 10 to 2147483647 (I think its the integer equivalent to 0x7FFFFFFF) didn't have any effect that I could see. The InteropCapNoOem xap fails to deploy with error code 0x81030120. This error code normally means you are NOT interop unlocked back in the WP7 days. The OemCapsNoInterop.xap file generates an error telling me to "fix the Capabilities in [the] WMAppMAnifest.xml file.

I wonder if I can sideload more than 10 apps now though?

Maybe we can figure out what app is generating this "call home" and see if there are any other funky things we can stick in the xml tree?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Whoa. I could have sworn they were using cert pinning for that. I'll investigate, though...

EDIT: Couldn't get that connection request even showing up on my work computer. Will try from home.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Here is the service operations page:

https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/help and (according to API) DeviceStatus call don't have fullDeviceId={FULLDEVICEID} parameter.

BTW, compu829, what is the fullDeviceId parameter, how it looks like?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
Wait... You could change the value on the phone? That's a huge improvement. I'm stuck with only 3 apps (stupid dreamspark) and desperately need more!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
This is a great find! I, unfortunately have never seen this happen though. Do you happen to know if you had the WP Device Registration program or the Application Deployment program running at the time?

EDIT: I've been debugging multiple apps with Fiddler up and proxy on my phone and I haven't noticed this. I see it now. I feel stupid lol Time to play around

EDIT 2: Microsoft does NOT like when you have fiddler intercepting on Registration. It returns a success result, but the developer registration tool gives an error indicating that it cannot connect to the phone. Grrr and after I went through the work of changing the response value for the number of apps that can be sideloaded. I bet this is a timing thing... I'll see what I can do.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
I don't think it's timing. Even if I left the request completely unmodified and just ran it through the proxy to watch the process, the tool said that there was a problem, and the phone did not get unlocked. They're either testing for the presence of a proxy somehow, or there's some side channel that *is* using cert pinning, and is therefore unable to connect through Fiddler.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Also, editing the a:AppsAllowed element doesn't seem to work. The phone doesn't complain or anything, but the registry value doesn't change.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
On my phone, I noticed it AFTER I had developer unlocked it. More concrete steps on what I did to reproduce:

1. On test PC, Installed Fiddler.

2. On test PC, exported trusted root certificate that Fiddler installed.

3. Emailed certificate to my phone and installed it.

4. Now enable the proxy on the phone. Things like email, Windows Phone Updates, etc will now work normally!

5. Plug phone in to Visual Studio Development PC, and wait for the PC to detect the device.

6. You will see the phone "dial out".

Without installing the fiddler trusted root certificate, you will see the handshake, but the phone doesn't know what do do with the packet because the certificate generated by fiddler is untrusted.

Using this same technique, you can have some serious fun with Windows Updates ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
see last post :) Are you guys installing the trusted root certificate on your phone?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
It would be nice if Fiddler's cert was trusted :/. I'm able to see all HTTPS requests, etc but it just hates it when dev unlocking the phone. Which other trust root cert are you speaking about?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
more detailed instructions

this is what I did:

On Development PC:

1. Click Start, click Start Search, type mmc, and then press ENTER.

2. On the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.

3. Under Available snap-ins, click Certificates, click Add, select current user, and then click Finish.

4. click ok to close the add/remove snap-in dialog

5. In the left-hand pane navigate to "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" --> "Certificates"

6. in the right-hand pane, look for the certificates labeled "DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot" (I have two for some reason, you may only have 1)

7. Right-click on the certificate and go to "All Tasks" --> "Export".

8. Run through the certificate export wizard, leaving everything as the defaults.

9. Once you have exported your certificates, email them as attachments to your Windows phone.

10. Open the email on your WIndows Phone. Click on the certificate file and wait for it to process. Then when prompted, install it.

11. After that, any https traffic that you intercept/edit will go through as trusted to your Windows phone, provided that the application isn't expecting a specific certificate.

Things this made work:

1. all App communications over https

2. Windows Updates

3. all email accounts.

4. App Store communications (except for actually downloading apps, IIRC).

Things that didn't work:

1. Anything that requires certificate pinning as the certificate is embedded within the app. Therefore it doesn't make a call into the trusted root certificate store. I believe this includes running the actual "Developer Unlock" app.

if you place the following code in the "OnBeforeResponse" section of the CustomRules.js file, you should be able to install more than 3 or 10 apps, provided the program that is "phoning home" isn't using certificate pinning.

oSession.utilDecodeResponse();
oSession.utilReplaceInResponse("AppsAllowed>10</","AppsAllowed>400</");
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
... These are steps that have already been taken. You actually did even more steps then necessary. All you have to do is point to your computer's IP address and port that Fiddler is running on within IE Mobile (Make sure Remote IP access in Fiddler is enabled), click on the certificate and it will install on the phone. You'll be able to see the requests from the phone. Everything you listed above is what I've been able to do. Nothing different from what I was saying :).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
[MENTION=358779]compu829[/MENTION]: Yes, of course I am. If I weren't, it wouldn't be possible to edit that value at all; I wouldn't even see it because the TLS handshake would fail... (FWIW, I work with proxies all the time, usually Burp Suite not Fiddler, but in any case I'm quite familiar with setting up the MitM certs). I do wonder whether there's something changed here (GDR2 change, maybe?) because I could have sworn that intercepting the phone's traffic during unlock didn't work at all before (presumably due to cert pinning). I may be mistaken, though.

In any case, it still doesn't *actually* work. I guess I could try invisible proxying - use ARP spoofing or a custom routing rule on the router to send the data through my PC, and capture/modify it there, without revealing the presence of a proxy - but I don't know if that's the issue or if it's something else entirely.

EDIT: Your steps are way more complex than needed. For example, you can export the root cert from Fiddler by going to Tools menu (in Fiddler) -> Fiddler Options -> HTTPS.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
whoops lol. Oh well. I didn't realize it was so easy to export/Import!

Anyways, All I know is that I could pretty much do nothing on my phone when I connected it to the proxy until I emailed myself the root cert. Once I did that, email started flowing, apps started working, and WIndows Updates stopped erroring out.

It is entirely possible that whatever is generating the call is silently rejecting the response packet. I was just shocked when I plugged my phone in to see that packet show up.

I know that Windows Updates lets me modify the requests and responses without complaining, so maybe that is another way in? I assume that must be running elevated lol. Maybe we can get it to launch a background app that is already on the phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] amaric:
The way I see it, this will only work temporarily. Next time phone dials home without you running the Fiddler it will reset the AppsAllowed value. Am I right?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
[MENTION=739280]amaric[/MENTION]: If you'd actually read the thread, you'd see that it doesn't appear to work at all...

But yes, it would probably reset itself too. We don't have the ability (right now) to edit the registry keys which control that phone-home behavior. However, it might be / have been possible to do that if we had interop-unlock...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mailwl:
on the phone there is the file "PhoneReg.exe", which works with this data, and it check certificate Common Name (must be Microsoft...) and Thumbprint to hardcoded data
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] jessenic:
Didn't the ChevronWP7 work exactly like this until MS fixed the bug in NoDo?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
[MENTION=2854207]snickler[/MENTION], [MENTION=3529492]GoodDayToDie[/MENTION]

There is something I can't get out of my head...after the Ativ S devices are interop unlocked, they'd "reset" after a while until we made them stop phoning home...This means that somehow Microsoft is associating the phone's device ID with your interop level...is this something done purely server side, or is there a way to maybe send this info TO Microsoft's servers so they can send the info back to our phones? Just a thought....
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
That's an interesting research question; we can set the URLs which are used to make those "phone home" checks to a site we control, possibly use HTTP instead of HTTPS, and see if they work. Worst case, cert pinning will cause the connection attempt to fail and we're right where we are now; best case, it's... umm, well it's interesting, but I don't see any likelihood of actually getting *additional* permissions out of this. Still, I've been wrong about things like that before. Somebody want to set up a transparent HTTP -> HTTPS proxy to listen for the request, forward it, record the response and forward it?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] compu829:
I would imagine if we could get someting like this working, we could always DNS posion a regular device to point it at a custom server...maybe we could interop some other devices that way?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Do you know, what is a default value of MaxUnsignedApp? It's 7FFFFFFF!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
On dev-locked devuces, yeah that seems to be the default. Pretty weird.

DNS poisoning would only help if we could get it to stop using HTTPS first; otherwise the certificate pinning would get in the way anyhow.

First off, I updated my GS4 OTA to I337UCUAMF3, which I wish I hadn't done. I lost root from it from it because I didn't do my research before accepting the update. I then searched for a way around the update and was able to re-root my phone. When I went to flash CM10 to my phone, it booted into download mode (Odin Mode) with a message in the upper left corner that reads:

Could not do normal boot.

I found a fix for this that allows me to reboot my phone into working order. However, I am no longer able to boot into Recovery Mode, nor am I able to factory wipe my phone. Any time I attempt either of these things, it goes back into the "Could not do normal boot." Odin mode. I tried going back to stock, but it fails every time. I'm sort of new to all of this, obviously, but any help would be appreciated. Everything I have tried has been based on things I've read on XDA, but I guess just because someone posts something doesn't mean you should try it. Lesson learned.
