[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
Can't you simply decompile the apk (pulled via adb from your phone), do the changes and compile it again? :)

There are tools for that like for example apktool ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
Curiousbif anybody on tmobile USA updated their firmware to anything other than what tmobile has. I'm running HD13.3 right now and I seem to have few odd ts issues, but other than that good.

If you have flashed it, have you noticed any difference? Since tmobile fw is based on 4.1.2. I'm more concerned with it effecting the radio, since tmobile uses odd bands, don't really want to create any issues with it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachi91:
The thing about radio and rom combos is that they sometimes contain updated modules that take advantage of the radio version you have.

Some users note that certain radio firmware work better with a certain rom while another rom hinders it. Less Battery life or signal.

You can stick to one rom and flash any radio you want and not notice a difference because of where you live while others will.

Radio updates don't control what bands you phone uses they simply make adjustments on how your phone uses them. So your T-Mo HTC One and my AT&T HTC One if they where to have the same ROM/Radio the difference in battery life and overall network performance depends on just that; the network.

If your having issues related to the T-Mobile network it could be any number of things. A bad rom flash, Radio firmware not at your favor, the phone itself, or just the local towers etc.

There are several radios available to install via recovery.. Try a couple and test each out for a day or so and compare the results. If not try to stick with the radio that was released with the ruu the rom was made from.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
Thank you :). I will try and find a thread with all of the radios. I am kind of wanting to flash an updated Firmware, but I do not think it is possible unless I go S-OFF and go back to 4.1.2 RUU?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmSixNine:
Im kind of in the same boat. I have a T-MO branded HTC One. I wanted to get sOFF and go with the HTC Google Play edition firmware and ROM and flash the T-Mobile radios. BUT the update to my TMO unit at the end of July borked the moonshine and revone (revone?? is that right cant thing of it off the top of my head?) exploit to allow S-off.. So my unit is rooted but NOT with Soff to allow me to do the google play edition firmware..

I can tell you that for me the update in July did help with a little bit better battery life and did improve LTE performance.

I am in Dallas and often can get 35MB down and 25 up..

hoping the rumors are true that we get 4.3 around the end of September..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightmastertech:
I'm completely new to developing and this is my first Android project and also my first time using Github (or any other vcs). I've found guides for how to import projects from Github into Android Studio, but I can't figure out how to upload a new project to Github. I've created a basic project with Android Studio and I've installed git for Windows and openssh in cygwin, but not sure where to go from here. Any help would be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdpeck:
When I flashed 7/18 version of tweaked vzw remix I stated getting random shutdowns not reboots ( i pull my phone out and screen won't turn on, hold down power and it boots up fine and I have no isseus). I was getting atleast 3-4 of those a day. The new release was on its way so I wasn't worried, figured might be a bad download or kernel issue. the next release came out and I flashed it along with pbj kernel and same thing. After a few days they decreased and then hadn't had any for a week or so.

Today I went back to clean rom 3.5 and I started getting them again.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? The only new app I have downloaded recently is the game dots. Neither time have I restored any data from tibu (I have been to lazy to do it)

any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Have you tried going back to stock with odin and starting from scratch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdpeck:
No I have not tried that. I just got the phone back in July, samsung had to replace cdma radio so it was all stock then. During the times I've had issues,there was a day I was on beans build 21 and cant remember the shut down issues happening that day. If it doesn't get better the next few days may try using Odin then rooting and unlocking it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NMartin92:
Ok im on stock rom me7 rooted

I dont really have access to a windows computer for odin I have a mac

Now my question is is there anyway to get odin on a mac or something similar to odin

Also can I use mobile odin to flash back to stock

Also can u flash a custom rom with odin

may be a dumb questions sorry if they are
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] silverfang77:
If you're on AME7, no custom ROMs or recoveries can be flashed.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bluesphere0:
Just follow this. It worked for me.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Gorgenapper:
Hi, thanks for the tip! I figured it out after a while, here is a full write up based on your directions and on bada bing's directions. Step by step, detailed, etc.

Overview of steps:

* Root

* Quarantine 'TetheringProvision' to disable the software lock on hotspot

* Use ES File Explorer to configure and turn on the hotspot

* Root

1) Start by rooting the device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2347793

NOTE: For step #3 in that thread, after the apk installs, you will eventually be brought to a completion menu with 'Done' and 'Open' options. Choose the 'Open' option and it will tell you that you should have root access now. If you accidentally tap 'Done', you can just reinstall the apk again.

2) Get SuperSU on the Play Store. Open it, update the binaries, etc. Your device should be fully rooted at this point. You can check this by downloading Root Checker on the Play Store, but this is unnecessary.

* Quarantine 'TetheringProvision' to disable the software lock on hotspot

3) Enable USB Debugging (Settings > More > About Device > tap the Build Number about 10 times > back button > Developer options > check USB debugging). This is required by App Quarantine in order to quarantine files.

4) Get App Quarantine from the Play Store, tap the wrench icon at the top right, uncheck 'Hide system services', hit the back button, then tap on 'TetheringProvision' and tap on the lock icon at the top right. If successful, it will lock it up in the 'Quarantine' tab at the right. Check to make sure that it is in there. This 'freezes' the file which is responsible for locking down the hotspot functionality.

* Use ES File Explorer to configure and turn on the hotspot

5) Get ES File Explorer from the Play Store. Tap the hard key for menu, scroll down and tap on Net Manager. Tap on Settings at the bottom, select 'Use the system AP setting', enter an SSID (recommended to be short with no spaces, like 'MyName_GS4_Active'), and a password. Tap on OK. Tap on the back button. Tap on 'Create a hotspot network'. It will say 'Establishing Network...turning on', followed by 'Now you are using AP, SSID is...', AP password:, and an 'Exit' button. It may say 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped' after this, but IGNORE it. Your hotspot is still active - look at the top left of the phone, you will see a wifi symbol in a blue icon, this is your indication that your hotspot is working.

Notes:

To turn ON the Wifi Tethering:

1) ES File Explorer > menu > Net Manager > Create a hotspot network.

You CANNOT turn on the hotspot using the built-in menu.

To turn OFF the Wifi Tethering:

2a) Pull the notification menu down (swipe down from the top of the phone), tap on 'Tethering or hotspot active' under the 'Ongoing' section, turn it off.

OR

2b) Settings > Connections > More networks > Tethering and portable hotspot > turn it off

OR

2c) ES File Explorer > menu > Net Manager > tap the Exit button at the top (under the details for your hotspot).

Personally for turning off the Wifi Tethering, I've found that the fastest way is option 2a.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] fegarciaii:
Anyone try this with AT&T yet?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] dave5777:
Yes, use foxfi and enable the proxy service it will mask your tethering.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] pyro254750:
You can turn on wifi tether in android just like normal once doing the tetherprovision hack. It will popup with the you must activate message like normal, but the hotspot still activates and works fine. This eliminates the need to us es file explorer to turn it on.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Fegarciaii, ive been using on att for weeks with no issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] fegarciaii:
Thanks! I'll give that a try. Seems like I tried using foxfi, but ran into a wall. Didn't try to enable the proxy service though...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] IMissPalmOS:
Just wanted to mention something here in case there are others out there as dumb as me :)

See, I have bounced back and forth between carriers over the years, and have become so accustomed to their greedy "you must pay us extra for tethering" crap, that one of the first things I do with all my new phones is figure out how to beat any tethering restrictions on it. Same for my new i537. Came here and found the right threads, starting playing with FoxFi and removing the provisioning apk's, etc.

Just today I figured out that tethering is included, free, with my plan anyway.

Doh!

Been fighting a non-existing restriction all this time... I didn't realize that AT&T now *lets* me tether up to the limits of my plan without any additional charges. So if you are reading this trying to figure out how to tether for free, you might want to check if you need to even bother first...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] fegarciaii:
Good idea.... I'm going to check my plan. I'm just so used to AT&T screwing me ... just switched from years with the iPhone and always had mine jailbroken and used tethering everytime I was on a business trip.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ledocbio:
Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Avail211:
If you're on a different carrier with an unlocked Active this tutorial helps out a lot. I got mine factory unlocked from ATT but neither wifi nor bluetooth tether works without doing all the above :( I have the wifi working now but bluetooth tethering, while now visible with a checkmark, still doesn't work at all.

I can -sort of- understand why cell companies lock their software down (money, fear of losing customers, etc...) but I don't particularly care for it when I buy the phone outright and should be able to use it any way I wish. They'll unlock it fine but I'm SOL on other highly sought after options like this. Sure I can download an app to bluetooth tether, but why should I when it's an option in the settings? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] rgwicks98:
fixfi workaround s4 active

When you activate tethering and it comes up telling you to call 611, instead of clicking OK just hit the home button to minimize foxfi.

Rob
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Avail211:
I know I can install foxfi as a workaround, but I shouldn't have to.

FWIW, I don't use ES File Explorer due to the root access issues, I just use the ATT hotspot app for wifi tether and it works fine (after freezing the TetherProvisioning of course) It works for me just fine. I also have Wanam Xposed installed and checked the disable tether provisioning, not sure if it makes any difference though.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lanwarrior:
Is "TetherProvisioning" the only one you froze OR uninstalled?

I can't never use the built-in tethering, I kept getting on "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". Tried this with FoxFi, Wifi Tether and a host of other tethering apps..

The app, say Wifi Tether and FoxFi, will have the notifican saying "tethering running" or something like that, but there is not blue icon that usually shows up when tethering is ACTUALLY active. Tried to connect from my MacBook and Galaxy Note 8.0 - yep - no tethering active.

My S4 Active is rooted, stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

To OP:

For my ES Explorer, the "Create a network" option is ALWAYS greyed out (not clickable). Is there any specific setup you have to do?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Avail211:
I couldn't get ES File Explorer to work at all, not even view root files (I definitely have it rooted as well, a lot of people have issues with ES for some reason on the Active) I have Wanam Xposed installed with the tethering provision disable box checked, TetherProvision frozen, and I activate the wifi hotspot thru the ATT Hotspot app, not thru settings. It'll sometimes tell me it's stopped, but the wifi hotspot will be active and I can connect with my Nexus or MBP just fine. Bluetooth tether does NOT work though for some reason.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lanwarrior:
Yes, I did NOT start tethering through settings, just from the 3rd party app, but the error still happened.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Avail211:
Does wifi tether still work though? Mine does even with the error.

EDIT: NVM, I re-read your post stating it doesn't work at all. Idk then, mine works fine after freezing the tetherprovision and enabling wifi tether with wanam xposed.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lanwarrior:
So I found out that if I start the tether (3rd party app or built in) the first time after every reboot, the phone hangs, the error pops up and tethering does NOT work.

The 2nd time I started, then it works.

The problem is that the hang took about 10 - 15 seconds. With the 2nd tried, that's a total of 20 - 30 seconds. So I have to wait...

I guess I got used to my old Note where tethering is almost instant.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] h2447intx:
I don't think you have to get a program to freeze the tether files , just rename them ,, I added a 2 to the name of the apk and odex file . then I fallowed the rest of the directions , and it works great

I have a tethering app I had on my note , installed it and it works for turning on and off , no need to go into the es files to turn it on ..

app is SVTP WIFI HOTSPOT
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bada bing:
Check wifi is OFF

It will be grayed out in ES EXPLORER if you have your WIFI turned on. You have to turn off the WIFI to activate the HOTSPOT. It cannot both Receive WIFI and be a HOTSPOT at the same time. I tried so many hotspot apps with the active and only ES Explorer worked. Note... you do get a settings stopped warning but it really is working...

I also suggest NOT using the random SSID in ES Explorer, rather set up a system SSID... Is explained in the full step by step post...

This fix is more for AT&T phones running on OTHER networks... in my case, T-Mobile.

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

You do not need a program but it is easier to remember and undo all the changes with the program. Just uncheck a box verses remembering all the renamed files a few months after you did it... I am OLD.. I forget things.

For some reason, on the ACTIVE, the stock android tethering app still is not functional even after disabling the tethering provision app. At&t did something extra to cripple the ACTIVE.

Again, this is for using the ACTIVE on other than At&t... or at least that was the original tethering problem I was working to fix.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Bernice619:
What this will do?

You will be able to enable the AWS bands (which is the bands used by T-Mobile for 3G/4G HSPA+ service) on your AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 (or Canadian SGH-i337M) and receive 3G/4G HSPA+ data when using T-Mobile SIM card (or other Canadian networks that support AWS).

So I have my active on ATT and the wifi hotspot works fine since it's included in my plan. I just carrier unlocked it and am putting in my mexican sim (Telcel) for an upcoming trip where I will have data on that sim. Will I be able to use the built in hotspot app since it has already been provisioned....or am I going to have to do all this legwork to get it to work while down there?

thanks and help again

hi, this was really helpfull, i live in ecuador and i bought an att samsung galaxy s4 i537, but the problem is that it comes with the att software and i dont need it, do you know how can i change to a non att software?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Currently you are stuck with the AT&T software and there's nothing you can do to get rid of it. There is the ability to boot other ROMs though using SafeStrap. Unfortunately you are restricted to 4.2.2 TouchWiz based ROMs, but it does give you a little more flexibility. Read through this thread for more information about SafeStrap. The bottom line though is that there is no way to get rid of the AT&T stock ROM without completely bricking your phone. In the future I would try to get international versions of phones since AT&T and Verizon are trying to lock the phones down completely.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mha1021:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

i got an At&t note 3 and unlocked it and use it with Tmobile. everything worked except tethering, it was giving error massage saying invalid sim etc. so searched google and found your thread and followed your instruction and now it is working perfectly. BTW i download a Wifi toggle widget from play store and the toggle works so i don't have to use Es explorer to turn on and off the tethering. Thanks again for your help.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ivuzmek:
Works on ex AT&T

Thanks, I managed to get it to work. My phone was ex AT&T, now on T-mobile Croatia.

I actually didn't use Quarantine, I renamed Tethering provision (.apk and .odex to Tethering provision.apk2 and .odex2) inside ES File Explorer.

Inside the ES FE left button for settings. Then go to Tools - Root explorer - Mount R/W. Choose RW on all but the last one (firmware).

Then push "/" left of the sdcard sign. Choose folder "System", then "App". Scroll down to Tethering provision .apk and .odex files. Long press on them until check boxes appear. Rename them with Rename function on the bottom.

After that it's all like described in the first post.

ES FE - Settings - Tools - Net manager - Create Hotspot network (this will be grayed out if you still have WiFi turned on, you have to turn it off first). Then you create your network (name and password). After starting it I get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" error, but it works regardless of that.

Thanks again for posting the Create hotspot network fix.

Any chance of adding a shortcut for Tethering On/Off on your home screen, anyone?

(I seriously consider not buying AT&T phone ever again, after having all sorts of trouble with their HTC One X, and now they secured/screwed almost everything on S4 Active. At least it could be rooted, but you can't really flash custom ROMs on it).

You have to do the leg work ive tried telcel and movistar same problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ShimaMiku:
Hi all,

I know there has been a lot of people jumping ship on the S4 Active, but I for one am still on board. Although I'm still hoping for the bootloader situation to be resolved (not betting on it anymore though), I've been running with the Safestrap method. Personally AOSP is nice, but I like the Cyanogenmod builds that offer a few more tweaks the plain AOSP.

Regardless, what I'm getting to (and why I'm posting in this thread) is that I'm considering just going back to the Samsung stock rom and living with it that way. The ONLY thing that I'm hesitant about is this tethering solution for the few times I do tether.

Has anyone yet been able to figure out a smoother way to run tethering, after freezing the provision, and just being able to use the stock wireless tether?

UPDATE: So I did some research over in the AT&T S4 forum and I found this to work perfectly.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535141

After completing these steps, no need to even use ES Explorer to get tethering to work. The stock tethering will be just fine. For reference, I am on MF3.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] TwoStroker37:
I can't remember where I saw it at, but where's the directions for the T-Mobile hack where it redirects you to a webpage saying you don't have a tethering plan?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jd254:
I'm unable to use OpenVPN with this method in the OP. I'm on MF3 with Active Root installed.

With my VPN off, I can connect and have an internet connection on my connected laptop.

With my VPN on, I can connect but I won't have an internet connection on my connected laptop.

In both scenarios, I do have an internet connection on my i537 Galaxy S4 Active.

Any work around?

I know this is for the galaxy s4 but I was wondering if this works for the galaxy mega 6.3 on metro pics stock rom. I did everything exactly and it works but as soon as the 4g hot spot icon appears on my notifications it turns back off and says "settings has unexpectedly stopped working" any suggestions? I use es file app to turn on the hot spot btw.
