Although this is funny, people used to say the same about linux. Every operating system needs options!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] EsJayEs:
Very much agree. Competition brings out the best. But smug Mac/iPhone users give the brand a bad name. But they do have good marketing. It would have to be to get people to overspend so much on something that is clumsy.

I like the idea of Linux as a competitor because it isn't associated with smug ass-hats, and is open-source.

As for Windows 8, I like to think of it as today's "New Coke". Almost nobody likes it, and Microsoft crammed it down our throats because they thought it's what we wanted.

But that's my very off-topic rant. Y'all have a good day!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
Here's the thing. I love my Mac, but I can't stand iPhone. I also have a Windows computer, and love it too. Not all Mac users are smug, in fact I went from Windows to Mac very willingly and loved it. However, I'm also very open-minded when it comes to OS.

Also, I didn't know people didn't know you could use adb etc on Mac. Lol otherwise I would've said something a long time ago haha

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I know LOTS of people with iPhones and Macs, and not a single one of them are smug. I think people just dislike the Apple brand sooo much, they see what they want to see about the person using any Apple devices.

Personally, I like both. However, I dislike Windows though. Be it Windows XP, 7, or 8. To me, Windows seems clumsy.

Come to think of it, I dislike Microsoft in general.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] akguthal:
People assume that they must pick between Apple and Google or Apple and Windows all the time. There are strengths and weaknesses for devices of both companies. For example, I use my Mac for video editing, as its software is generally much better than video editing software on Windows.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Steppnasty:
First off I am aware that 3g data works perfectly fine on most of the aosp roms in certain areas. It does not work in the area where I live however. After pulling my hair out for a couple of months trying to google for a solution I gave up and reflashed the Stock TouchWiz OS. After Samsung push their evil 4.3 rom I decided to try to figure this issue out myself. I don't know of every 3g issue on the phone but if you have the same issues I had then this will most likely work.

My 3g Symptoms: 3g connected with 2 or 3 bars. Pandora wouldn't work. Google Play store wouldn't work. Other things wouldn't work or would be very slow. I could pull some webpages however. Also running the ookla Speedtest.net app would freeze on the upload test.

The Solutions: Basically two fixes which should give you stock 3g performance when you do both.

Before you start make a backup just in case anything goes wrong. And yes, these steps assume you have rooted your phone because you probably wouldn't need to do this if you haven't. Also I have only tested these fixes on the CM10.2 10/3 nightly and the SlimBean 4.3 roms.

Fix one: Backup Stock APNs. - note: this fix helps but I didn't come up with it and alone it doesn't fix the upload issue.

1. With your stock Samsung rom on the phone download 2 apps from the Play Store: "APN Backup & Restore" and "/system/app mover".

2. Go into the /system/app mover and click on APN Backup & Restore.

3. It will ask you to confirm and then it will ask you to reboot

4. After rebooting phone go into the APN Backup & Restore app. Click your menu button and select disable ICS Check.

5. Click Backup APNs and then click OK.

6. After backing up APNs load up your aosp rom and do steps 1 - 3.

7. Click Delete APNs.

8. Click Restore APNs.

Fix two: enable MTU probing.

1. Connect your phone to usb.

2a. Linux: run sudo adb pull /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh

2b. Windows: from an administrator command prompt do adb pull /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh

3. open init.qcom.post_boot.sh from text editor of your choice

4. find these lines:

case "$target" in

"msm8960") <----- on the CM10.2 12/3 nightly this is found on line 106

5. under those lines put the following line:

echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mtu_probing

6. save - you may have be admin to save.

7. adb push init.qcom.post_boot.sh /storage/sdcard0/

8. adb shell

9. su

10. mount -o rw,remount /system

11. cp /storage/sdcard0/init.qcom.post_boot.sh /system/etc/

12. reboot

13. profit

You can use the speedtest.net app to test this fix if you like. If your upload test completes you should be good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Guncotton:
Thank you. I have had the same problems and your MTU tip solved it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] keithatoz:
The MTU probing also worked for me. Thank you very much!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] exeleon:
I'm new to adb and can't find a good resource that helped me. I get to step 3 of fix 2 and can't figure out how to access the .sh file to edit it. Any help would be awesome.

I changed my mind. How would I hard reset on my android galaxy s4?

I updated my phone to 4.3 while ago, has lot of issues. So I did the custom rom thing/root and such.

How would I factory reset my phone? Odin doesn't seem to work for me. I can't find reliable 4.3 stock firmware on the internet.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
What do you mean by factory reset?

It sounds like you want to revert it back to the original state it was in when you bought, which if you've done an update to 4.3 is not a simple factory reset.

Fro stock ROMs you want to look on sammobile.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: official 4.2.2 firmware

The most reliable stock Odin flash Official M919 4.2.2 Galaxy S4 firmware

can be found and downloaded from http://SamMobile.com

You will need to create an account on sammobile to be able to download.

Takes only a minute and it's FREE !!!

Odin works for everyone, if it's not working for you it's due to user error.

You can even download Mobile Odin from the playstore and use that,

Good luck!

OP, I tried to use Kies to restore my phone back to factory 4.3 but could not get any of the options under tools to work. What steps did you use?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RanbirS:
Boot your Android to 'Download Mode' (Turn off the device. Then Hold Power, Home, and Volume Down button at once. When you feel vibrate, let go the power button, but keep holding home and volume down button. Then you will get the screen, then select volume up).

Then go to Kies, Under Tools, select the second option (I think it's upgrade, below the emgernecy recovery something).

Then enter your Model Name: (Don't know? Find it by taking off your battery and you will see the information. My model is SGH-M919). Then enter your serial number (same place again). Then follow the steps.

Then it should take you 30 minutes. Then boom, you are done. You are on fresh 4.3.

I try to create app for WP8 which must to work silently, it's must collect some data.

I found Windows Phone Background Agents and Background Audio Player Sample

But like I'm not so sure that it's work totally silent.

Is there any ways to do this?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Spyware?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Are you trying to get this app into the store? Because they have all kinds of restrictions on what you're allowed to do in the background there, both for the sake of ensuring user privacy and because background apps reduce battery life.

Homebrew apps have a lot fewer restrictions, but people are still going to be suspicious of anything that does mysterious stuff in the background.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] appdroid:
Read the article below.

Some might argue why T-Mobile and Sprint version N3 is unlocked that's because of their network coverage. If you do little research you will find that most of the giant firms use either Verizon or At&t for their employees. This now confirms how Saamy is forgetting about us and mostly putting their focus on giant firms. Give me your point and lets see where this goes.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] smokestack76:
I would agree. Sounds right and does make sense!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Delakit:
Does make sense until you wonder why other carriers have the bootloader unlocked. Unless those people saying the bootloader is unlocked they mean it has been unlocked by a hack.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
85% of the Fortune 1K in the U.S. are on VZW and AT&T.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HappyPessimist:
Im nkt sure this really explains why AT&T's bootloader is locked. This article discusses the issues with Knox, something that is present in the VZW Note 3 but missing from the ATT version. If the bootloader is locked due to trying to attract enterprise business then why would Knox (the container application) be missing from our version of the phone? Even if Knox is being wonky it still should have been included if they were going after the enterprise market.

It depends on Sammy's customer base spread. If the majority are suits, Sammy loses very little by losing the nerd market. But if the majority are teen-agers texting their BFF, Sammy is going to see that a little bad press in the Blogosphere goes a LONG way. The under-21 set will believe a blog stating that the Martians have landed faster than they'll believe the WSJ that the big yellow ball in the sky is the sun.

We'll just have to wait and see, but if Sammy keeps welding these things shut, a lot of ROM builders are going to be building non-Sammy ROMs. And a lot of people will put up with the Sprint dead spots rather than be treated like numbers by Big Red.

Since my crystal ball battery is dead, all I can do is make wild guesses.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rooted_1:
Quick question for everyone here...

Do you think that filing complaints with government agencies over the locked bootloader issue might be an effective route for seeking change? Consider that when complaints were filed against them for blocking FaceTime on their network, the groups that filed those complaints did achieve a limited measure of success.

I would envision that the complaint could look as follows:

1. Denying users root access to their own phones and locking the phone's bootloader prevents access to all features of some software packages. (e.g. Titanium Backup)

2. Some of the packages that AT&T effectively blocks through these policies (i.e. Titanium Backup) compete with software they offer. (e.g. AT&T Locker)

3. Ergo, AT&T seeks to obtain an unfair competitive advantage over other applications through its behavior.

I also wonder if it would be possible to argue that AT&T is knowingly selling defective phones through its policy of locking the bootloader. I'm sure we can all point out many bugs in the stock firmware which have been addressed by custom ROMs. An argument could be made that AT&T's action of preventing custom ROMs from being installed is forcing its customers to use materially defective equipment - it's just a question of whether or not an agency could be convinced of this amidst AT&T's "greasing of the palms" to quiet complaints against them.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dzufauzan:
now i'm clearly understand ;)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
Unless the private key slips, or if people don't care about warranty (in about 10 months :)) the bootloader won't be unlocked.

Personally, I think this allows for more inventive solutions to processes which have become so routine we expect them to work on every phone. RDLV for example. The Kn0x0ut script. My MJ5 Recovery methods -- all include unique techniques to catch up to the level of security ATT/Samsung has surprised us with.

This process, of course, is cyclical. Both sides have an opportunity to gain here and I welcome it!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rooted_1:
If I only worked for Samsung in a capacity to help... ;)

Hopefully we don't have to wait that long for it... I'm almost ready to purchase a Note 3 from TMO just to have an unlocked bootloader. If I could get a new one locally for around $500 this weekend I probably would. (Just got the Note 3 this week so I'm still within my 14 day return period with ATT.)

I'm glad you and others enjoy the challenge presented by AT&T's greed, and am thankful for each of you and the hours you spend trying to figure out how to remove or bypass the artificially created limitations and restrictions on our devices.

In my opinion, limitations like locked bootloaders are material defects, and should be treated as such by government. Once one enters into a contract with the wireless provider, the phone is yours as long as you continue to abide by the terms of the contract (on time payments, staying within acceptable use policies). As such, one should be free and clear to modify the phone in any way - as long as expectations of service and support are diminished appropriately for "non standard configurations". No carrier should be allowed to lock bootloaders or otherwise take measures to prevent users from rooting their devices.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Scott:
Hmmm...

That actualy sounds like legit reasons!

Does AT&T sell the developer edition like Verizon?

I so want to come back to AT&T but had to jump ship to VZE because they had SafeStrap. How much I hate Verizon! They used to have best signal in town. Now its no better than Sprint.

Anyways back on topic. That seems like reasonable pitch. Where do we / you file that complaint? FCC? FTC?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] srtpusher:
Why not offer a corporate version? If you want to use it at work, you never have the corporate locked bootloader.

They could even make it a ROM update accessible by corporate accounts.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Agent:
I'm sure it works on the 900A, but I think he meant it's not on there by default for the 900A AT&T variant. Do you have an apk for it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rooted_1:
I filed a complaint with the FCC the other week using the precise argument I suggested above. Of course, I've yet to hear anything from them. If it's anything like the net neutrality complaints I filed against AT&T years ago, the FCC will forward the comment along to AT&T and the company will provide a written response back to both me and the agency in a couple months.

I'm also wondering if there would be any sort of way to get the FTC involved in this as well, by making an argument that AT&T is knowingly selling defective devices, refusing to fix the defects in a timely manner (by releasing new versions of Android, quicker), and preventing users from fixing the defects on their own (by locking the bootloader). I'm sure that there's a plethora of issues with 4.3 and TouchWiz and Knox that could be pointed out... the least of which would be the constantly-nagging security error notification that shows up every time one uses WiFi on a stock phone.

I'm generally not a big fan of big government, but this is one exception. The more government agencies we can legitimately engage with valid points, the more effort that AT&T has to put into defending its decision to only market phones with locked bootloaders. If enough agencies get involved from enough angles with reasonable and logical arguments, there *may* come a time at which AT&T decides that it's not worth the effort. They obviously feel that some economic benefit come from their decision. The trick is to create the perception that the economic benefit they gain from locked bootloaders is outweighed by the ill will and cost of participation in government inquiries they bear. There's only a slim chance that this will work, but I'm willing to take a few minutes to file complaints and let the wheels of our government agencies churn. After all, isn't that what they're there for? ;)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
Thank you for doing this..

I feel the only way we will ever be heard is to start a Samsung boycott petition. Even if those who sign the petition has no plans to truly boycott Samsung, the negative publicity and the potential for consumers to boycott them would be a huge risk in Samsung eyes. Imagine if we had 10k users signed the boycott petition because of the bloatware & locked bootloader. Samsung could care less about the 10k consumers but the word of mouth from those consumer could equal millions. Samsung might not officially release an unlock bootloader but might allow leaks to occur to keep us quiet. If one website picked up the story about Samsung boycott petition, Samsung would do everything in their power to correct or fix the problem. Due to carrier restrictions and request they would have to come up with clever ways or do what htc does and allow you to unlock your phone on their site with a code.
