Question for the wizards: I am curious how the storage is organized. If AT&T apps are removed, for instance, will their space be available for use? Or is the storage partitioned so it cannot be used for music or other things?

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1988410:
Ofcourse you can get more storage. But it's not that much compare with the inner storage.

When I write the www.hotmail.com address in PIE on the JJ it takes me to the mobile hotmail site.

Is there a way we can tweak so that I can access the regular hotmail site.

Shall be obliged for your views
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Bonzo:
If you look in the wiki for the BA (i think) you'll find some registry settings.

There you can make IE identify itself as IE 6.0 instead of PIE.

This should fix all of your problems..
[HTC One S] nairdaecartal:
I sold my phone on eBay yesterday, and last night I wanted to wipe it clean of any of my personal info (photos, emails, music, etc). I had ViperOneS 2.2 on it, and instead of going through the Viper menu to reset the device, I did it through the primary settings menu, and I believe I wiped the ROM off my phone. The phone will boot into CWM Recovery, and I can also open into the bootloader... I honestly don't know much about rooting/hacking phones, I bought it from a guy with ViperOneS already on it. I work on a Mac, but can run a Windows XP virtual machine - as I've noticed most tools out there for this stuff is PC based. I don't believe debugging is enabled, because I've tried lots of things (the toolkit, adb, etc) and can't get the two talking to each other. I'm really not happy about this because I may need to tell the buyer that I goofed and give him a refund. I have TeamViewer on my computer, and if anyone could help me, I'd be more than happy to toss you $25 to get this thing working again.. Thanks all
[HTC One S] Lethe6:
Try these tools for your Mac. Looks a bit outdated but it should work. I use those (my own mirror) all the time for flashing, etc. Running in a VM may be a problem due to USB redirects, permissions, etc.

I suggest you take a look at this thread to run the RUU to bring it back to stock. You'll need Windows though, it's an exe. Not sure even Fusion could properly run that exe natively. It also tells you how to get the proper information to get the right RUU file, and where to get it.

Worst case, reinstall Viper One S.
[HTC One S] nairdaecartal:
Whoa, so I got the Mac ADB running, "You may now run Android Debug Bridge and Fastboot commands"

So I guess the next step is to turn phone into bootloader, then select fastboot? I'm not really sure what comes next. I'd like to just get ViperOneS back on here at this point. I've downloaded the ROM, but again, everything I've found so far is for PC stuff. Should I unzip the rom and enter any special commands in the terminal?

Thank you so much!
[HTC One S] Lethe6:
You should be able to do it from the Mac with those tools. I almost only use my Mac for stuff like that unless I really can't.

The instructions on the Viper One S thread should be pretty easy to follow.

Basically, follow steps 1, 2 and 3. Replace step 4 with this, while in recovery, and connected through USB:

adb push name-of-the-rom-zip-file.zip /sdcard/

(or adb-mac instead of just adb, depending on which you're using)

Then resume at step 8. Let me know if you have questions, I'll do what I can to help.
[HTC One S] nairdaecartal:

Hey man, I really do appreciate your help with this.. It's saying device not found when I try to push the ROM on the sdcard. It looked like it initiated for a second, but failed:

Were you in recovery when you tried to push the file? Or at the bootloader? I'm not sure about CWM recovery but in TWRP I can push files.

While in recovery, what does "adb devices" say?
[HTC One S] nairdaecartal:
So I was able to get it back to the OEM ROM using the proper RUU for it.

First of all, thank you for the link to the Mac tools - this wouldn't have been possible without them.

I was able to relock the phone using commands in Terminal through the ADB tool you provided. After relocking the phone, I pulled up Windows XP in a Virtual Machine, using Fusion. In Fusion, I had to change the USB ports on the computer to talk to the virtual machine, and not the Mac. Once I did that, having the HTC Drivers (HTC Sync) installed, the computer was able to identify the phone. I then opened the RUU executable and it took about 15 minutes, but now the phone is good as new!

This forum is a huge help - thanks all.

ANYONE USING A MAC PLEASE READ -->

IF YOU ARE SOFT BRICKED WITHOUT DEBUGGING ENABLED:

Here is your key!

https: //code.google.com/p/adb-fastboot-install

- Drag the ADB-Install-Mac.sh install file into Terminal and hit enter. This will install ADB and Fastboot on the computer.

- If your computer is password protected (admin) enter your password

- Enter fastboot devices to see if your computer is reading your phone. It will list it if it is.

- Lock the bootloader to prepare for RUU install. enter fastboot oem lock

Now the phone is ready for the RUU, which you will need a PC or a Virtual Machine to run it. All should be good!

Okay, long story short I drive at work, use GPS a lot, almost every day.

Every once in a while my GPS will just stop holding a lock. When I try to use navigation it will not have a lock, then the GPS symbol will blink for a couple seconds, lock on, then a couple seconds later it loses a lock again.

When this happens even a clean wipe and clean rom install doesn't fix it... I just kinda have to wait it out.

I'm about to return my S4 to T-Mobile and get a new one because this has happened like 8 times now and it really interferes with my work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeknoGodz:
I tried with a differnet program called GPS Status and one called GPS Fixer to no avail, I'll try this one though next time it happens.

Updated 10/15

This version allows users to successfully change the SSID and add a passphrase. Compliments to "Italianguy"

http://socal.hanhuy.com/~pfnguyen/wifi-tether-gnex-4.2.2.apk

Download WiFi Tether for Root Users.

Go into Settings and make the following changes.

change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)

check box: wifi-driver reload

check box: enabled routing fix

That's it. Go back and push to start tethering.

Note: this is only valuable to users with unlimited DATA if you have a certain amount of DATA then watch your usage and you should also be able to use native (Verizon) tethering.

[Moto X General] abiezer:
I don't see how adding Access Control allows me to change the SSID. Can you please explain?
[Moto X General] addictedhacks:
The best USB tether app is PDAnet.
[Moto X General] Maverick0984:
I don't think that was what he was replying to. It obviously allows you to specifically grant access to the devices that should be getting it and not allow access to anyone that can see the SSID. Towards the bottom of the first post, it was asked if anyone knew how to create a password, to please post it. I'm pretty sure that is all he was responding to.

Prior to the Moto X, I had a Gnex, so I haven't used this app in quite some time, but when I did use it, the encryption was WEP and did funny things. Access control is just fine for me, and I'm not sure why anyone would care THAT much about SSID.
[Moto X General] abiezer:
Its the SSID and the password that can't be changed. I could see why someone would want to have a password on their network. Mac address control is not very secure at all.
[Moto X General] goose71:
I followed the instructions but when I try to connect my ipad to my phone it tells me "unable to join the network". Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Played around with settings and this is what I did:

Device profile: Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)

Set up Method: Auto

Wifi driver reload AND wifi driver reload 2: checked

Enable access control: check

Keep alive connection: check

Make sure MSS clamping and Routing fix are both checked. Now it runs buttery smooth and speeds are great!

This is one of the only reasons I root, I don't do roms just strictly tethering. Hope this helps someone that was in my situation as well.
[Moto X General] Maverick0984:
It's secure enough for this purpose. Yes, they can be spoofed, and yes MAC's can be sniffed out from simple packet watching, however, an attacker would need knowledge of this to even try it, as well as the hotspot would need to be up long enough to care.

I would definitely *prefer* the ability to change SSID and password, but I'm not losing sleep over it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kimdoocheol:
I've read a lot about SDS and there seems to be no general consensus on the symptoms of it. Some people say they can enter recovery/dl/etc but the phone crashes all the time. Others say that their phone doesn't turn on at all and won't charge.

Here is my issue with my S3.

I just recently installed 4.3 pacman rom. I got everything set up and everything was going great. I tried to flash ACID MOD 7.0/DevilKernel, and they both failed, so I rebooted back into the system and the phone just shut off.

If I take the battery out and hook it up to a charger, the LED will light up. However, if I plug it in with the battery already inside of it, the LED does not turn on. Also, if I hook up the phone to my computer, it'll make a sound like it is trying to mount the device, but it'll make a stutter sound like it failed. It doesn't do this automatically, it only does it if I try to enter recovery/download mode/or turn the phone on.

I'm not sure if the phone is completely dead, or bricked, or what is going on? Or if anyone has any other suggestions - other than changing the battery, which I did do, lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sounds bricked. What model is you s3 btw? And can you post links to everything you've flashed?

SDS doesn't affect our S3's, it was only the international model that had this issue, and I believe it was only on the original firmware.

devil kernel

prior to flashing pac i installed 2.6.3 twrp because the 2.5.x i was on did not work. i booted in, flashed pac, got everything set up. after restoring the apps and whatnot, i went back to twrp to install acid + devil kernel. they both failed, so i just rebooted from there and it never turned back on. i just assumed the battery was dead, charged my bat in my external charger, and yeah, never turned on since then.

any way to do this without jtag? i'm not at home right now to do something like that and am out of the country, so im a bit unsure how hard it'd be to get those supplies.

i was able to go to a samsung a/s place, but they would only send back to america. i don't think it is worth paying 200+ when this phone is probably only worth 400 or so out of the box, brand new, maybe even less.

i just assumed it was SDS because the symptoms seemed spot on, but it was really weird. i've never had any issues like this flashing roms and it wont' even go to the boot logo. if i plug it in, it makes it seem like it is trying to mount, but there are no vibrations or anything like that on the phone.

thanks for all the help doc, like always.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thanks for providing the links! Makes it so much easier to help when we don't have to search for everything!

I'm afraid you have bricked your device. I don't know about the Acid mods compatibility with our device, so it may be part of the problem, but that kernel is for the international S3 (I9300/9305). (I'm assuming you have the T999 btw). Never flash anything for the international models, you're nearly guaranteed to brick the phone!

But there's hope! Verify your model number by looking under the battery. Then check out KAsp3rd's unbrick thread in the development section. It should be towards the top.

Give that a shot and say a prayer! It won't fix all bricks, it depends on what was overwritten, but there's a good chance it'll fix yours!

In the future, it's best to stay out of the international models forum altogether! The devices are very different and you take a huge risk when using anything you find there!

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kimdoocheol:
Thanks Doc. I don't think it'll be fixed unless someone in that thread wants to try to flash that devil kernel and see if they can unbrick it w/o jtag. I followed those instructions to a T, and no dice. Although, I can't really tell if my battery is charged right now. I don't have my external charger on me. I will try again tomorrow, but I really doubt it at this point.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Really? Maybe give it another try with a different SD if possible. I saw the posts there and there's no reason I can see that it wouldn't fix when aboot got overwritten.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kimdoocheol:
Yeah, it is really weird.

After some toying with it I figured out that it only tries to mount the device when connected to the computer IF and only IF my phone is connected to the computer with no battery. It didn't do this before, which is odd. Even if I take out the SD card it still does this now. Before it would fail to make any sound, and now it tries to install the driver. But then it says it fails to install the driver for it, which is the bricked one, the SUBS DWLND or whatever.

I tried following Kasp3rd's advice to hold the button down longer, and I held it down for a whole five minutes with no luck.

I will try another SD when I get the chance, right now I only have a 64gb with no avail to back it up. The SD card is super old though, you are right Doc. It is from my OG droid, but really I haven't had a need for SD cards since I was on an iPhone after my droid and since the S3 is mine, but i'm not using it, I never really bought a nice SD card for it.

I'm going to run to the store in a bit to get one though and hopefully that will make a difference?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
May have missed the part about it being 64GB before. Could be the age, but also those 64's have given lots of folks some problems in the past. Seems the S3 can be a bit finicky with those.
