[Nexus 5 Accessories] ObsoleteSoldier:
Wow, those are some slick cases. Yeah, I'd be all over those like a fat kid on a smartie! :sly:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Xtremjeepn:
You are not comparing apples to apples!

They simply don't make the super cool high end stuff for any of the android devices. Only their cheaper stuff, which they also make for the iPhones.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tkoreaper:
That is true, BUT you can't argue about the quality of their cases. I had one on my S3 and it was the best case I have ever owned.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Xtremjeepn:
Not arguing the quality of their other products. Just wish someone would step up and make some really nice cases for android devices! I'd love to have something like their black opps case for my nexus! $200 is really no big deal for something I will carry with me everyday for probably a few years!

But instead most people just make $4.99 with free shipping junk!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tkoreaper:
The problem is the demand. It's no secret that there are more Android users than iPhone users, but if you look at the devices specifically you'd see that iPhones are near the top competeting alongside the Samsung galaxy phones. They make cases for those because it makes more sense. You can make accessories for devices that have millions of users or only thousands. This is why you only see mediocre products for devices like these.

Because of this if someone does step up and make something like that then don't expect it to be cheap.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Xtremjeepn:
Partly. Obviously there are more iPhone users (singular design) to sell to than each individual version of android phones. So that is why iPhones get all the best accessories and apps first.

It's also the overall perception that android phones, and their buyers, are "cheap".

I'd be in for one!

[General Questions and Answers] mahjong:
In my Magician since a few days ago if I run MediaPlayer or any other program that use the speaker works perfect, BUT if during a phone call I press Dial bottom for a while to activate the speakerphone the icon comes up but the speaker is not working.

Any idea? Why the speaker is working with all programs except for speakerphone?

I think I notice that if I use the headset the sound is low too, but only when using the phone. For sample if I run MediaPlayer with the headset the sound is OK but if I use it for phone the sound is low.

So looks like some kind of problem with the volume on the phone application when using speakerphone or headset. Quite bizarre, hum?

Off-course I use the volume bottom in the side of the magician while using speakerphone without any result.

Please help.

Update:

I decided to close this project. Disable the Carrier IQ service is simply

easiest and safest way

than trying to hook service methods. I recommend to download Disable Service App and use it.

Original text:

I found the Carrier IQ client library inside framework files on my internation D802. Quite bad surprise as I thought such "feature" is usually in US-only versions.

com.carrieriq.iqagent.client is hidden inside /system/framework/telephony-common.odex.

Anyway, I don't like to have this code sleeping there and waiting for something to activate it. I didn't find any Carrier IQ service running on D802, but I simply don't like that LG put/left support for it there.

This Mod will hook these IQClient methods:

shouldSubmitMetric
reportKeyCode
checkSMS
checkWAPPush

These methods will always return FALSE, which I believe means

do not submit or report anything

.

Then this Mod will replace this IQService method:

onCreate

And make it simply call stopSelf();, which will stop it just before it even start.

You can download my mod here: Removed

If you are looking for other method to disable Carrier IQ on your device, you can follow freebee269 steps here.

Sorry I tried to attach pics of the ATT carrier iq file locations but my images wont load.
[G2 Android Development] p.valenta:
Please try and launch it. Application will first detect if that library is present in your system. Then it will check if these methods are there.

Like I wrote before, I think whole Carrier IQ is working in AT&T ROM = D800 as it have native libraries in /system/lib/ folder. Other LG G2 versions without this native libraries have only support, but no service actually running. At least I could not see any similar service running on my D802.

[G2 Android Development] p.valenta:
Thank you, I know these libraries from other XDA forums, but I could not find it inside AT&T framework files as I need to know which methods they have declared inside. Anyway, do you have AT&T stock rooted version?

[G2 Android Development] lingarajug:
I installed ur mod and it says files are present and it asks me to enable in exposed which I did and rebooted and it still shows the same what should I do.
[G2 Android Development] p.valenta:
Well, sorry for confusion. That first part is only for detection of CIQ library. Maybe I should add some indication that Mod is already applied to make it clear. Anyway, enabling it is the last step, so you did well.

Thank you for your feedback.

Check your PM for my message. Thanks for help.
[G2 Android Development] p.valenta:
I just found that com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService is hidden inside /system/framework/com.lge.core.odex on AT&T ROM (D800). My D802 doesn't have such code. I will begin to look into disabling this service now.
[G2 Android Development] freebee269:
another way you can disable CIQ on d800 is if you are stock rooted you can go to the play store and download an app called disable service. it's free and doesnt run in the background. open the app and swipe to the left to get to the system apps tab. then click on android system. inside android system, uncheck IQService. then reboot your phone. CIQ should now be disabled.
[G2 Android Development] xdafoundingmember:

[G2 Android Development] lingarajug:
I tried it exactly but I don't see any such services under android system.
[G2 Android Development] p.valenta:
Thanks for your reply. Yes, there are multiple ways how to achieve that. For example your can execute few commands in shell to disable that activities. I know about that.

I'm trying to do it another way by using great Xposed framework, explore internal CIQ functionality and then disable it piece by piece. It's always better to have multiple choices. ;)
[G2 Android Development] freebee269:
i agree. i wasnt saying my way is better than yours. i was just giving another option for d800 users til you can get your way working. hope it didnt come off that way.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

if you dont see iqservice under android system then your device doesnt have ciq.

No worry, I'm fine with that. ;)

I think I will include your step in OP and make it more clear to not confuse readers.

Yeah, sure. I could do that tonite (original CIQ smali). There are so many threads about CIQ, but actually nobody post source code of it. It was trouble to get code of IQService as it is not present on my device. My current changes are in OP, IQService changes not done yet.
[G2 Android Development] switchgott:
Hi,

thanks for replay.

Have a look at this!

I guess, the iqclient doesnt work right!Because it alle give zero back.

.source "IQClient.java"

# virtual methods

.method public checkSMS(Ljava/lang/String;)Z

.registers 3

.param p1 # Ljava/lang/String;

const/4 v0, 0x0

return v0

Is it possible to delete the hole client from smali code??

\elephony-common\com\carrieriq ??

THANKS!

Damm.Only found the iqagent inside telephony-common!

Its realy deep insinde.
[G2 Android Development] p.valenta:
Yes, I found it too and it surprised me, why LG left (or put) it there as I don't have D800. So I though maybe some libraries are still linked to that code, so they cannot simply remove it. I add Xposed logging inside these methods, but after few days nothing called it. Looks like not used code. But that apply only to D802 maybe and maybe my usage. So maybe you could cut it out for our D802 and let users download CIQ free telephony-common framework.

D800 is different case, they got extra native libraries and IQService in com.lge.core framework and it's actually running there. (However, I don't have that device)

So currently this Mod will be useful for AT&T (I don't know about other US variants), but other devices (not only LG G2) could take benefit from it too.

To the smali code:

yes, looks like these SMS, WAP methods return false already in D802. Not sure how will these methods looks on other devices, but this Mod will make sure they will return false there as well. Big thing is IQService, I will post it's source code tonite. ;)

You are welcome to join me here and let's share ideas. :good:
[G2 Android Development] switchgott:
Hi,

do you know java / Smali code good?

[G2 Android Development] lingarajug:
I have installed your update and now the app says code is found but service is not found and no need to activate ur app in exposed.
[G2 Android Development] p.valenta:
Yes, there is no IQService on D802, so that IQClient code should not be running, only "sleeping" there. At this our case I consider it optional as it will have no effect. This Mod should be actually usefull only for users with IQService.

I hope there will be soon any feedback from any D800 user as I cannot test it on my D802. :fingers-crossed:

Edit: Ohh, you have D800? And there is no IQService found? Do you have stock ROM or already some cleaned CIQ free ROM?

Well, I think you misunderstand. This is related to Carrier IQ service only. Disabling it should work on any "compatible" device (this is what I hope).

It is not removing carrier related apps or vendor related apps, sorry.
[G2 Android Development] schwalbach:
I'm being dense here I'm sure, but does enabling this on xposed disable the ciq? I'm seeing it as detected but can't figure out how to turn it off
[G2 Android Development] p.valenta:
I'm sorry for confusion. I didn't add any checking if Mod has been enabled, so it will keep saying "DETECTED". No worry, you are not the first one who asked me that, so I guess I will need to improve it to make things more clear. Thanks for your feedback.

Doesn't currently work with AT&T Note 3

Might want to mention that on the Play Store. Kinda got my Note 3 stuck in a bootloop until I could get into Xposed to disable it.
[G2 Android Development] p.valenta:
Ohhh, I'm very sorry to hear that. :(

Well, should not be only for LG G2 as I hope it will work on any "compatible" device. I will disable Note 3 now and think about another way to handle CIQ service. Thanks for feedback and sorry for trouble.
[G2 Android Development] deV14nt:
It's cool. At least it was still possible to disable. I'd offer to debug it but it was so hard to root this device without tripping knox and voiding warranty that I don't want to risk restoring backups and such if I were to run into problems. Surprised I haven't already honestly.

[General Questions and Answers] Theory5:
Hello,

I am seeing odd behavior via my IPS at work. A student has an android device (either S4 or Note 2) (with cyanomod) that is behaving like it is infected with the Zero Access trojan (ZA only infects Windows family machines). Normally, I would think the student would be tethering, except for the useragent which says "Dalvik" (I can get full string tomorrow). I have been under the impression that tethering a system would result in your user agent from your computer being used, not the android devices User Agent.

Can someone shed some light on this? Are they actually using wifi tethering via a computer system? What causes the Dalvik user agent to be shown?

Thanks,

Theory5
[General Questions and Answers] Lgrootnoob:
If I understand this right then it is either actually infected or he has installed something(Lots of odd ways to pull off tethering) that doesn't use the user agent of the computer. (Likely malicious :confused: )

I think that you could simply ask how he is tethering.

Hello there,

I googled a lot, I searched a lot here, but I did not find what I searched for.

I am thinking about testing the new Version of Cyanogenmod, the problem is that I in fact never did anything like this.

I want to set back the device to manufactures setting and then backup the original LG Software, so that I can go back to the standard before selling, or if CM isnt quite mine.

Anyone tips or links how to manage that?

[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
After rooting and unlocking,make sure you place the efs backup somewhere safe. You can also make a nandroid backup and restore it if you don't like cm. or you can use kdz updater to flash stock firmware.

I'm sure you looked all the places,except the FAQ :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] 5MinutesAloneLG:
Okay, this sounds good to me.

Does any of the 3 Methods give me the same way of a full backup from the original software, or is there something else that has to be done?

I searched for the Faqs, but I couldn't find any?

Thanks a lot!
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
No, these are different things. EFS backup is to save your butt in case something happens with your IMEI. This is one of the most important things, don't overlook it! Nandroid backup is a "snapshot" of your existing ROM, including all your installed apps and their settings. This is the easiest way to get back to your previous ROM after experimenting with others. And KDZ is not a backup - it's a factory image that will return your phone to the exact same state as it was when brand new.

Look in [MENTION=2392539]kimitza[/MENTION] signature. :D It's his baby. :good:
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
the nandroid backup is like a restore image for windows. you will have all apps/settings from that time saved. here is a scenario:

1. On clean stock rom,root and unlock(unlock will also flash cwm recovery). Place FREEGEE folder somewhere safe.

2. Enter recovery mode and make a backup.

3. Flash any other rom ...and if you don't like it, restore the backup you made earlier.

4. Restore EFS with freegee.

5. Use Unroot from supersu.

6. Backup all your files(photo and other media to pc) then do a hard reset.

7. You will have a clean stock/official rom,like it came from factory.

All of this can be simplified by backing up your files and use kdz updater,followed by a hard reset. :).It takes less time and it's safer.

[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
When you unlock the bootloader with freegee, it automagically makes a backup of the EFS,amongst other things(like bootloader state,imei,partitions etc). It's enough to place that FREEGEE folder somewhere safe. If you ever run into troubles(like no IMEI shown or you just want to go back to stock without using KDZ updater),just restore with freegee. It will relock you bootloader and restore EFS(with imei).
