[General Questions and Answers] doveman:
OK, maybe there's another way :)

I was thinking of setting up a VPN on a Raspberry Pi installed at my parent's house, as they have reasonable broadband speeds, something like 100/10MB. Is there anyway that I could setup my Mum's tablet so that it passes everything through the VPN whether at home or away, so that she doesn't have to worry about toggling the VPN or firewall?

I can point it to the No-IP domain name I've setup but then I think every request would go out onto the Internet (albeit encrypted) before coming back in to the VPN, which would then have to go out again to retrieve whatever webpage, etc is being requested, which would obviously be stupid. If I point it to the LAN IP of 192.168.1.66, that will avoid doing that when at home but won't work when away.

So, any ideas?

I rooted my P970g running Froyo using psneuter. That went perfectly fine and the root was verified. I then flashed ClockworkMod using adb. That worked perfectly, and I was able to use it to install the CyanogenMod zip I'd placed on the SD card. But when I rebooted the system, CyanogenMod wouldn't boot. I can get past the LG screen, but then it just stays at the CyanogenMod boot animation.

I can still use adb to reboot into ClockworkMod and control the device, so this isn't exactly a brick, but it's close to one. Am I just being impatient? About how long should it take to boot the first time?

Please disregard this thread. I forgot to do a factory reset before installation.

Is the default apn profile the wrong one? I am currently at work and without wifi, would like to fix this to be able to at least make calls. As it stands, I believe nothing works. Texts, data, mms and calls. I am unable to edit the APN as well, which is odd since the default is incorrect. Any way around this? Will updating the prl or something restore my settings?

Fixed by using: "##72786# " to reset the APN settings.Will leave this thread in case anyone else has the same problem in the future.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mythology01:
Hi Everyone,

I updated my s3 to 4.3 OTA. and then battery drain + slow charging + etc made me decide to flash CM 10

I followed a tutorial here to root the phone (because knox) and put latest CWM on, and flash CM 11 (unofficial one from this site), I got an status 7 error, then I found out I can only flash a CM 10.1 nightly build. for all other CM rom I tried, I got same error.

Now my suspicion is the new modem I747UCUEMJB,

Can I downgrade this to older modem and tried to flash CM 10.2 or 11?

By the way, although I am lucky to put 10.1 on my phone, the camera does NOT work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] supahdaniel:
you're going to need to flash a new version of CWM to be able to flash a 4.4 ROM such as CM11. You can update it through ROM manager. If you need an odin'able (not sure if that's a word) .tar file I can provide. :cowboy:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mythology01:
I did something stupid (out of desperate) yesteday, and now the phone won't respond to vol+/- + home+ power now.

I ordered USB jig today, and will let you guys know whether I can get into bootloader with the jig
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mythology01:
UPDATE,

Yesterday, I flashed LK3 modem, the phoen would not connect to tower. otherwise fully functional.

Then I did something stupid, I flashed the LK3 bootloader.

Then my phone won't turn on, won't respond to vol+/- + home+ power

Now I ordered an USB jig from ebay trying to get into the factory downloading mode.

Anyone here share the same experience here?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Asphyxiation:
I do not share your experience but I want to tell you that it was not smart to downgrade your modem. That causes the device to brick due to Samsung's KNOX. My advice from now on is to search the forum for answers and if you find none, to ask about it and wait patiently. As of now, you may be able to try new rooting methods for the 4.3 OTA but I am not sure it will work out. Which means you might have to, if your phone is still under warranty, send it in to have it fixed.

And as for the problem you had before with flashing CM11, that is because you need to be on CWM 6.0.4.3+ or the newest TWRP. I believe it to be 2.3.6.1 or 2.6.3.1. I think it is the first one.

Best of luck to you in fixing this, though. Hopefully you can. If not, you will have to send it in or something similar.

Hope this has helped you to the fullest extent that it can.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jblparisi:
Sorry to give you bad news, but a USB jig will do nothing for you other than give you a shortcut to holding Power + Down + Home since you have hosed the bootloader.

You will need to restore your bootloader following the same procedure I did 2 days ago.

I am glad there is a fix for the brick now.

I just sent my phone to a USB JTAG service. will that put earlier bootloader modem rom back on it? I am kind of reluctant to put the 4.3 on it now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
I don't know if the Jtag will put an earlier version on it or not? If it does I might have my phone Jtag'ed just to be able to downgrade. Let us know what you get back if you don't mind.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] huisie:
With WM2003/SE, I used Intellisync or Chapura Pocket Mirror to sync Outlook categories and MightySync for folders - an added bonus was only having to set up a "Guest" Activesync connection to make this work, making the whole process a lot faster and practically troublefree.

In comparison, I found that extended use of a full Activesync partnership would continually disrupt my PC and my LAN and internet connections and corrupt Outlook. Not to the extent of meltdown, but enough to irk and cause unnecessary hassle (usually at the wrong time).

With WM2005, the Activesync experience worsened considerably. Outlook 2003 and WM2005 are barely cordial and it's a nuisance having to shut down AS 4.1 before I can reboot my PC - AS is also so damned slow!

The only app I can find that's compatible with WM2005 is On-Schedule Sync (www.odysseyinc.com). I can't tell from Intellisync's website whether they support WM2005, but I've tried and failed with their latest version.

Chapura state that they will release a compatible version, but haven't a date yet. This info is at least 4 months old!

Does anyone know of any other software besides On-Schedule that will work?

Also, Pocket Controller Professional syncs folders (very handy app, this!), but MightySync doesn't appear to (at least, not for me).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
have you tried on schedule yet? i downloaded it... but the overtheair option looks like it's not included on the trial version. intellisync didn't work for me either, neither does SEVEN. the other programs i used to use (symmetry prot, infowave, etc... don't support single users anymore).

really need a push mail client compatible with my work env (no IT support, exchange server). i hate my blackberry!!!!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] econan1214:
Hi,

While I am streaming music via Bluetooth to my car and using Google Navigation, a problem occurs. When the Navigator tells me what to do next, I can't hear anything (no music as well).

So, so far, I have found 2 MAJOR PROBLEMS with the Note 3 :

1- You won't be able to play music after making/receiving a phone call. Error message: Unable to play during phone call. If you use another music player app other than the stock one, such as Winamp ... you can play the music, but the sound does not come out from the speaker at the bottom, but the speaker on the top.

2- This Bluetooth issue.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakeboy:
Bluetooth

Were you able to find out the fix for these issues? I am having the same problem.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] econan1214:
Until now, I have not found a way to fix this annoying problem yet.

:(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximus96:
i have the same issue

Normally, i stream music with bluetooth to my car. sometimes i use waze at the same time. whenever a directional prompt or police warning comes on, it used to pause the music and the lady speaks the direction. The music then resumes and everything was fine.

Now, when the prompts come on, the music cuts off (but doesn’t pause, because when it comes back on its at a later part). Sometimes the voice prompt makes it thru but is choppy/garbled, or sometimes no voice at all. This behavior is the same for waze and google maps navigation.

I tried the setting to make it use the phone speaker instead, but it’s the same thing.

I noticed that this first happened after I installed the Themer app. I didn’t find the themes interesting enough and uninstalled it. I’ve had this issue ever since. I’m tempted to factory reset the phone, or better yet, root with RDLV since I’m still on MI9 as I understand RDLV wipes the phone anyways…
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] econan1214:
Are you having the same problem with streaming music via bluetooth not working ?

When you turn on your bluetooth to connect with the car, the phone will be put in "call mode" which doesn't allow you to play music at all? And even if you turn your bluetooth off, the phone will continue assuming that youre on a phone call, and doesn't let you play music.

At least right now, I and one other person in this forum are having the same issue.

It really drives me crazy.I think its because of the update to MJ5, I never had this problem when I bought the phone, only after update. :( . But now I can get back to stock, since their is no stock firmware for it yet.

[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
i think that might be difficult because holding volume up and power for 15 seconds hard reboots the phone even if it's locked and eventually the phone's battery dies...

Returned my fourth Nexus 7 today.

First one had: multitouch issue, dust under the screen, bad buttons. July batch.

Second one had: very bad multitouch issue. Buttons were good. August batch.

Third one had: multitouch issue (fixed by TS10 file), a lot of dust under the screen. Buttons were good. August batch.

Fourth had: multitouch issue, dust under the screen, bad buttons. Didnt even try the TS files because I knew I was gonna return it. July batch.

My conclusions: all Nexus 7 have multitouch issue, but mostly minor and fixable by the TS files. Even if you think your Nexus 7 is perfect it's not. You just dont know how to look for the problem or dont think you have it because it's so minor it seems normal.

More conclusions: Asus quality sucks. There's dust under the screen in most of the Nexus 7s. Probably because they are so cheap that they dont bother in making them right.

Last conclusion: all July devices have the hardware buttons stuck or badly placed. The ones in August are perfect.

Does someone know a way to take the dust under the screen? Even if I have to open it.

Now Im waiting for the 32GB versions to arrive in my city. There are no more currently. Waiting for my fifth one. I love this tablet. It's perfect for me. I just want one WITHOUT dust under the screen!!!!

Wow this thread is starting to resemble the whining that went on in the asus transformer tablet threads. I owned a 1st gen Nexus 7, then I bought the second gen Nexus 7 the week it came out. Never had any issues at all. Especially not any multitouch issues...I have no idea what anyone is talking about with the mulitouch thing. Since the Aug when I got the second gen nexus 7 I have had a chance to use and modify two more. Both of these (one for my mom and one for my dad) had no trouble whatsoever. The only issue was the 2nd gen nexus 7 I got when they first came out wouldn't charge wirelessly, but since I noticed it like right away I returned it to the store I got it from and got it replaced with a new one. I'm starting to think people are just way too damn sensitive.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sensamic:
Not whining at all. Just explaining my situation.

Im gonna keep buying it until I get a good one. For me there's no alternative. No other android tablet is as good as an option. No full hd screen, stock android with updates, great performance, no skin that bugs down the OS, etc.

It's this or nothing. So no, I'm not whining, because this tablet is great. It's just the quality control that's bad, and that's Asus fault.

If someone knows if sending it to Asus makes it come back with more dust under the screen please tell me.
