[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Raistlin1158:
1/ Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcstealthapps.freshnetwork

2/ A dual-mode phone is a telephone which uses more than one technique for sending and receiving voice and data.

3/ Every mobile phone has the requirement to optimize the reception. If there is more than one base station of the subscribed network operator accessible, it will always choose the one with the strongest signal.

An IMSI-catcher masquerades as a base station and causes every mobile phone of the simulated network operator within a defined radius to log in. With the help of a special identity request, it is able to force the transmission of the IMSI.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] rasseru16:
Thanks so much for giving the time to answer my questions.

Also, do you know what each of the settings mean for the Diversity Control, I know it's something to do with the phone seeing and utilisting a certain base station but which one would be best for reception gain?

Under: [3] UMTS RF NV > [3] UMTS DIVERSITY CONTROL

I have it currently set to: [1]Diversity on (*)

But what different would it make if i were to set it to: [2]Diversity off [3]Diversity only [4] RxDPM on ?

Thanks once again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
Many Mobile service providers user this kind of tricks to gain money.

They send these kinda pop-up adds, say your mobile is in your pocket and you receive an add, the second you try to retrieve your cell phone from locket this adds a ok by mistake or touch of your hand on the screen. Instantly they deduct that amount from your balance.

Anyone know how to block these adds?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
crap - I've never seen one like this - but note that the ad is coming from some app. Try to identify the app that is generating that message and just uninstall the app.

If the ad was in the notification bar, it was easy to identify the app (just long press the notification to see the app) - but given that it is on your home screen, I'm not sure how to identify it.

Maybe look at recent apps (or running apps) to see apps that are running?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
Believe me it comes from the GSM SIM card..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
ugh... I'm so sorry to hear that... Note to self: Do not use airtel the next time I travel to India...

(hopefully, not all carriers do this)

Here in the US, I've never heard of carriers pulling this crap, but hopefully, other folks may have suggestions on how to block this.

(I assume the carrier doesn't make you install any apps that may be generating these messages?)

Edit: is there an app called airtel live on your phone somewhere? (may be under "all apps" perhaps)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
all services use this kinda adds, i found airtel live app in my app list, forze it using RomToolBox Lite, no more adds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
Wonderful news! Glad it helped.

Just out of curiosity - did you install the airtel live app? Or was it silently/secretly installed when you inserted the SIM? (assuming you are using the Sprint S4, it shouldn't have been installed by Sprint or Samsung)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
Naaa did not install, GSM service providers do it the OTA style or when you boot the phone first time with the new SIM it gets installed, cant uninstall, gotta freeze it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bladehawk:
So the note III is the first smart phone to use USB 3.0 this raises some interesting questions. First of all I’m a neophyte with electrical “stuff (to use the technical term) so I apologize if some of this is easily answered (which would be great).

1.	Since USB 3.0 can draw 5 Voltsdoes this mean that the current crop of car chargers won’t charge the Note III at full speed. All the car chargers I’ve seen are 2.1 Amps (some are dual port and claim 4.2 but that’s total, not in a single port). Does this mean that we’re locked to slower charging in the car?

2.	For those of us with built in DC/AC inverters, would we be better served by using that plug and a wall USB charger? If so which one, my Note III will be shipping soon, so I’m assuming that 1000mA is still the maximum (I think USB 3.0 supports 900mA).

3.	Will the note III charge slower using a USB 2.0 cable even with the best inverter/car adapter

4.	Do we need a “charge only” cable (like http://www.amazon.com/Specialised-Micro-USB-Cable-Charging/dp/B0088HTYUE ) to achieve the best charging speed ?

5. In the event we can't get an optimal charger will the note III charge faster with a 2.0 charge only cable vs a standard USB 2.0 (I assume so but better to ask).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
The move to USB 3.0 only affects charge rates connected to a PC. 2.x is limited to 500mA while 3.x is 900mA I think. Both standards use 5V, but 2A AC chargers often run a bit higher at 5.3V. The chargers don't directly adhere to either USB spec and basically trigger fast charge the same as before, by shorting out or putting a fixed resistance between the data pins. My old HP TouchPad USB 5.3V/2A charger with 2.0 cord charges my Note 3 just as fast as the Samsung 5.3V/2A adapter with USB 3.0 cord does. If you look closely, you'll notice that the "USB 3.0" Samsung charger doesn't actually have the extra 3.0 pins, it uses a 2.0 port. That's because for pure charging devices the standard doesn't matter, only the current and voltage rating and that it shorts the data pins.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bladehawk:
Thanks for the response.

So I should use a "charge only" cable, correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
If you want maximum charging out of a PC, yeah, otherwise it really doesn't matter. Also, if you use a fast charge kernel with fast charge enabled, it does the same thing by forcing the charger detection in software rather than in hardware. That said, you're still at the mercy of your USB port. USB 2.0 ports on PC's are only rated for 500mA usually and while you can overdraw from most without issue, you run the risk of overloading and at least triggering a software shutdown of the port (at worst, burning up the motherboard's power regulator for the USB 5V rail).

If you're plugging a cable into an AC adapter, it literally means nothing. All a "charge only" cable is is a USB A to micro B cable with the two data pins on the micro B side shorted together. Only the GND and +5V lines are wired through to the USB A connector which makes it only draw power, not data, and the shorting of the data pins makes it detect as an AC charger. Since the AC adapters short the data pins already, both cables look the same on the phone end when connected to an AC adapter. Same goes for a car adapter or external battery pack.

Technically, USB 2.0 and earlier, maybe 3.0 as well, are only supposed to let you draw 100mA. Devices must enumerate themselves to the controller and request the power limit be increased to 500mA. Many motherboards are pretty lenient about this so you can usually get away with plugging in a 500mA (or higher) load without telling the PC first but be aware it's breaking the specification and could be unsupported.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Some PC/laptop are BC 1.1 compatible. Meaning they can charge higher than the 450ma they usually do. I think it allows for up to 1.5a charging but don't quote me on that I forgot. I have a USB 2.0 hub that can use a wall charger and allows one device on any of the 4 ports (automatic sensing) to charge higher than usb2.0 specs. There are some hubs that allow all ports to do this. I am waiting for plufable technologies to update their 3.0 hub to do this.

sent from my sm-9005.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Handlewd:
It is the normal case that the speed will be much slower when you charge a device such as your Note3 via USB than via DC Power Supply. USB is mainly designed for the communication. The standard charging current of many mobile phones is 1 A or higher. But the highest output current of USB cable is only 0.5 A which could not reach the source demand of a phone. Except for this, we do not recommend charging via USB because the unstable current output can easily reduce the battery life of your Note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thugdrummer1:
Now that's something I never thought about. I would always plug my old phone into my computer when I got to work just to keep it topped off. Though lately, I'm plugging into a powered Belkin hub, so hopefully the current is more stable.

Now that I've got a new phone, I may rethink my charging strategy.

Hi, firstly not sure whether or not I'm in the right sub forum. But since the latest 4.2.2 firmware, the calculator small apps isn't there anymore. Happened to any of u also? Any apk (of the small apps calculator) or app (with small apps of course) to recommend from playstore?
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g4uvy56bufr0xzu/SmallApp-Calculator.apk here you go, that's the original one from 4.1.2. I was missing that too. So I took it from 4.1.2 FTF :)
[Sony Xperia L] ninjasoft:
Thank u man i appreciate if u can send me the timer and the other smallapp from 4.1.2 i can't find it everywhere. Thanks a lot

[Sony Xperia L] ninjasoft:
Please someone can send me the smallapp(timer,calc,recorder,note) from 4.1.2 please!!!
[Sony Xperia L] kalpeshc:
After the update even I am having just the notes one and none other.
[Sony Xperia L] xperiaL:
I want them back too! they were very helpful!

and now that we are talking about old apps, is it possible to install the previous keyboard? the new one is not good to me (too big, no punctuation marks at the top of the keyboard, etc).

thanks

PS: I installed the calculator, but when I tap on it, the calc doesn't start.
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Here's a tip how to have them.

Download FTF of 2.17 firmware 4.1.2 Android.

Then extracted via Flashtool and you should have system.ext4. Then Install DiskInternals Linux Reader. Mount system.ext4. Go to that partition you mounted. Then /system/app and search for apk started with smallapp.
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:

[Networking] rdubz:
I have tried everything I can think of to get this working.

OpenWRT Attitude Adjustment 12.09

Asus WL-330N3G.

I've been successful in getting the router itself to pull a connection from the phone. SSH into the router, I can ping, tracert, download, etc.

Connect a windows/linux PC to the wireless side of the router, Windows/Linux both say I am connected to the internet. Can Ping, Trace, etc, but cannot browse.

I've even tried bridge USB0 and the Wireless, and I pull an IP directly from the phone, windows and linux both say connected. Can Trace, Ping, but cannot browse. In Both Scenario's I cannot browse by IP or URL, but can trace and ping anything I'm trying to browse to.

Anyone had this?

I'm curious about the dialer behaviour. When I use the T9 dialer, I know a contact has several numbers. However, the dialer only gives me one number. Is that expected?

I found a very stupid work-around: I shuffled the order in which the numbers were stored. so I deleted all numbers so that the mobile number was first, and then the house/fax/work. Now the T9 only gives me the mobile number.

Do you guys have any suggestions? recommendations? tips or tricks?
[Samsung Galaxy Chat] omaralien:
Hi, I have rooted my Galaxy Chat B5330L, and afted that the battery drain quickly... as an example, yestarday at night I charged to a 100%, then I put in airplane mode and got to sleep, I wake up after 4.5 hours (6.30am) and it has 93% (in airplane mode). Then I turned on the signal as usually, and without using the phone I got 80% (9am) in one hour. Now its 11.46am it's in 65%.

By now in the menu Battery (settings - battery) I got SO android 43%, Screen 19%... etc.

One thing that I don't underestand is that in the same menu, my phone have "SO android" (43%) and "Sistema Android" 7% ¿?

I've also tried to do this ...//gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/reduce-battery-drain-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-by-fixing-android-system-usage-0142361/

that is rename a file with a root explorer, but I don't have "gsiff_daemon" file... I have "dbus-deamon", but I don't know if it has the same purpouse.

Soory for my English.

Thank you very much and have a good day.
