[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eagle815:
Noob needs direction

Ok. After spending many trips and waiting many hours for the guy at a local shop that flashes phones and sells prepaid services.....I have resorted to trying to do some reading and figure out how to do it myself or at least get some info so I don't waste any more money. I have a galaxy s4 on AT&T prepaid and pay 50 per month for unlimited with working hot spot. All good but wanted to get a Note 3. Is it possible to get a Note 3 to work like my s4??

Sorry if I posted in the wrong section. I just need to know which note 3 to buy and if it will work. I will keep reading and searching but wanted a little direction.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

I got my note 3 from a Pawn Shop, Mint cond for a bargain!!!

That is why someone would buy another's carrier device and use on my current carrier!

Straight Talk Verizon Note 3 activation

I have a VZW Note 3, after contacting Straight Talk's *(microchasm) support I am told by a human that the IMEI# of the phone is not compatable with their "bring your own phone" system. I have the micro sim card in the phone, I think I just need them to turn it on... Sorry if I am over simplifying things, at this point I am completely irate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The previous arrangement with VZW was a concession line that was canceled.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pashka612:
I have a Verizon Note 3 that was originally active on Verizon network for a short period. Since its factory unlocked just like the rest of the Note 3 phones, it can work on any carrier and I used it on T-mobile for less than a month and then called Straight Talk and wanted to activate it with them. They told me that because its a Verizon phone it uses CDMA and will not work on their network. But what I tried to explain to them was that Note 3 is an unlocked phone from factory and can be used both on CDMA and GMS networks. They disagreed with me and so I ended the conversation and called again but did not tell them which network the phone was from. I just told them that its a GSM phone and they connected no problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MACHEK:
So sorry to bump an old thread but, my wife has a phone on straight talk with an att sim, if I throw that same sim into my phone should it start working, or will it mess her sim up? I'm thinking I want to give her this phone later when I'm done with my contract but want to make sure all will work. On a side note why does the CDMA card not work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
AT&T is GSM, not CDMA.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MACHEK:
Yeah obviously which is why I asked about the att sim. I also asked why CDMA on straight talk doesn't work on our phones. Verizon phone can run both on GSM and CDMA

Use the above to check if your phone will work on Straight Talk in YOUR area. They vary in protocol and band depending on where you are. You also need to change the APN settings.

Likewise with AT&T
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d9c:
I don't know if this will help anyone, but here goes...

I've been with straight talk for about 2 years, and was just SICK of lame phones. I had a Samsung galaxy 3 given to me by a friend, so I changed to the g3 via the b.y.o.p. program. T-mobile doesn't work in my area, so straight talk sent me a straight talk AT&T micro sim. Everything worked great for a while, then my phone went nuts and started powering on and off at random. I finally couldn't stand it anymore and I purchased a new Samsung Note 4. I really wasn't paying attention and instead of getting an AT&T phone, I got a Verizon phone. I DID make sure it is a gsm phone. I put the AT&T sim in the phone, and it works perfect. Of course I had to manually set up the apn, but everything works excellent. Hopefully, this will be of help to someone!

Hello all. My name is Joseph Truax. Check me out on LinkedIn. I'm the one with the suit. I'm fairly well connected to most of the big dogs on the planet, but I want to use indie talent to do a redevelop.

My game, Part 3: Dodge the Dots has well over 10k downloads total on Android and iTunes, but I had zero marketing in place prior to launch.

I have just received a multi million dollar marketing package that needs to be fully taken of. If you have not heard of the Ziosk, Google it. I get to put my game in front of 600k users daily, and there are only 20 games to play at a time. In more than 200 Chili's and Red Robins across the US. A very difficult platform to get involved with.

I'm trying to get Dodge rebuilt in Corona. All we have to do is recreate the current game, but change or update 3 critical elements, and we win.

Any interested party please respond. It's a real opportunity with minimal work. Just follow the current build and add a couple updates. A cake walk for you experts.

I hope to get some responses, and will pay the middle-men for the hook-up of a fantastic developer. All revenue will be split evenly by all parties involved.

So, here is the question: Want to help?

Thank you for your time and lets make money.

Also, to the moderators, I went to DevS and there was nothing there, so I hope this is the right place to post.

Best regards,

BitTorrent is great. If I could download everything via BitTorrent (legally I mean) then that would be much better. If then everyone else used BitTorrent that would be great. In a BitTorrent client using the protocol you automatically have checksumming to ensure that there are no errors in the download, you have a download manager with resumable downloads, queueing and so on, what's not to like?

[Android General] CyberGenesys:
I have a (4GB) Tronsmart TS7 (some times known as a Alps Glacier TS7). It's a Chinese MTK6589 based phone running Android 4.2 purchased from geekbuying.

For the most part the device is stock, there are next to no pre-installed apps apart from the usual, and the only additional apps I have installed are: Playstation, Steam, ColorNote, Shuttle+, Root Explorer DI Radio, Chrome & Gmail

The problem I have is that there are apps appearing on the device that I am not installing. So far it has been the same set of apps that appear:

Mobo Market

UC Browser

TrustGo Security

DU Battery Saver

337 Game Master

GameCenter

(there may be more)

These apps don't start appearing right after a factory reset, but start to arrive 1-2weeks later. They also seem to be packaged similarly; when I say packaged I mean opening them seems to prompt with the same menu & style (accept licence etc) before it gets to the main app. Also, after you open the app from the app drawer it then creates an icon on the desktop. Maybe opening it actually does the installing?

The apps themselves seem to be legit.

I have factory reset the device (twice), and changed my Google password but they are still appearing. They don't show up in my Play store history so they must be coming from elsewhere.

My main concern is that if it is downloading things without my permission, what might it be uploading :eek:? Not to mention wasting my 3g data etc.

So I have a few questions:

Should I be (really) worried?

Is there a way to monitor this? eg connect to a wifi hotspot and packet capture the network traffic? or maybe use a process monitor (the ones I've tried so far haven't shown anything) to see if there is some sort of script in the background?

Can it be stopped?

Thanks in advance, I would be interested to know if anyone else has/had this problem?
[Android General] IgyBoy:
I have the same problem.

I haven't tried flashing some other ROM yet, but I guess that is the only way to get it to stop installing those things.
[Android General] CyberGenesys:
Have you actually found any other roms to install?
[Android General] CyberGenesys:
For anybody's information:

You may have noticed how you always end up with a 'Tronsmart.mp4' video file appearing in your gallery app. This is damn annoying since it appears twice, once on the internal and once on the external SD card. There is an '\system\app\CopyTest.apk' file which creates both of these. Should be safe to delete it and thus prevent the file(s) appearing :D

I have actually decompiled this apk. It works as a service that runs when MEDIA_UNMOUNTED or MEDIA_MOUNTED is invoked, and does absolutely nothing else.
[Android General] mariosm1cy:
I have the same problem, those random apps installing and the video always in my gallery. I have managed to stop tge apps by using a firewall and allowing only my apps that i want to use the internet. I havent found a solution though to fix the problem. Probably tronsmart is spamming its customers...
[Android General] CyberGenesys:
What Firewall did you use? I might be able to use something like that to pinpoint the app that's causing this.

Sory for the late reply. I am usin "android firewall" free from google play store.

November 28 I have a problem with the notifications of Hangouts and Facebook Messenger. If the message comes on the screen turned off it does not notice. It was only when I turn the screen it appears notification. I checked everything, from programs, modifying the change ROM with another version of Android and the kernel.

Hi. I would like to protect my device with nvflash before setup first rom.

I read guide about access to nvflash:

androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean

and

matthill.eu/android/transformer-prime-tf201-jellybean-nvflash

But I am not sure it's valid for my bootloader version. I have TF 201 with Jelly Bean and 10.4.2.18 bootloader. This bootloader comes from officials updates.

I am especially afraid this step: "wheelie / advances / Step 1: Flash AndroidRoot BL". It is can brick my device because of other version of bootloader? In guide is marked version: 10.4.2.15.

I really need help!

Best regards.

Have you read http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1927818 ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
You are right to check everything out first :good:. But there is no need to worry about the bootloader as the Flatline process will flash the 10.4.2.15 version. It will also leave behind its own customised version of CWM recovery. Unlike the official version this is compatible with JB bootloader but it is rather clunky and limited so you would do well to replace it with TWRP once you are happy the NVFlash process has gone well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hp321:
I appreciate your help. So after enabled nvflash my version of bootloader will change? Will I be able after this run my old Android version?

I would like to process this procedure:

matthill.eu/android/transformer-prime-tf201-jellybean-nvflash

My next question is about TWRP. CWM published with nvflash is to limited to setup new rom on my device? It is necessary to setup TWRP on my restore partition? This is not disable nvflash?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Yes, for sure.

The version of CWM flashed by Flatline will continue to work but it was really designed just to be used for the NVFlash process. It is based on an older non-touch version and changing to TWRP would be most people's advice.

No, APX mode will continue to be available provided you have the correct drivers.

TWRP Recovery freezes when trying to boot to Recovery Kernal

I have a Transformer Prime tf201. I've installed twrp2.6 using fastboot. Everything looked fine. I go the blue progress bar on the prime 100% No errors. When I boot to recovery RCK, it says "Booting Recovery kernal image" and just sits there. I left it over night thinking it may have to think about it for a while but it still just sits there. Any ideas?

Also when I used TWRP Manager. I did a "Wipe Data" and selected cache. It reboots the TF201, says "The device is unlocked." (upper left small letters) shows a ASUS logo in the middle and freezes. Ideas on that?

Thanks for all you guys/gals do...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] casey225:
I think you've answered the question I've spent days searching for. I have stock ASUS 10.4.2.17 rooted and recently unlocked to put nvflash on it. I want to update to 10.4.2.18 but read the update file from the ASUS website flashed through CWM has high risk of bricking the device. I was afraid CWM was mandatory to recover with nvflash, but, sounds like that's not the case. So I can just flash TWRP (which will remove CWM recovery) and then flash the Asus 10.4.2.18 update with TWRP? Secondly, I'm trying to work up the courage to try hairy bean, so I need TWRP for that reason as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
I would go straight for the HairyBean 2.31 ROM - as you probably read, the first stage of installing that involves flashing TWRP along with a new bootloader anyway . Some of us had trouble getting getting Flatline's CWM to see our external card though - so you may need to flash the normal TWRP first anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] casey225:
I plan to update to 10.4.2.18 first, do I need to make a new set of nvflash backup files, to prevent bootloader mismatch, after flashing a new recovery (since I haven't seen any that use .17).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Once you have your NVFlash backups that's it - you are all set for good.

Not sure what you mean by your second point. Do you mean you intend to update the whole ROM to 10.4.2.18 or just the bootloader? The bootloader 10.4.2.15 flashed by flatliner is still an android 4.1 version so would not be a problem - the dangerous bootloader/recovery mismatch people warn about is JB/ICS. The reason CWM is always the bad guy here is because their official version for the Prime has never been updated beyond ICS - though of course the version included with flatliner is compatible with JB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] casey225:
I realized after I posted that it shouldn't be a problem, but I couldn't delete the post. I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 successfully, but, when I hit the menu button it says "updating partition details..." I left it overnight and now 10 hours later it was frozen on that screen. I rebooted into recovery and tried to make a backup but it said there wasn't enough space even though it was seeing roughly 10GB (I have 64 GB edition) and the backup was a little over 1GB. When I hit menu, it kept showing me the verbage from the failed backup. Installed Goo manager which seems to function normally. I have rebooted back into recovery and hit menu button and it is updating partition details again. Should I wait even longer, should I try to keep the screen from timing out until it's done? Thanks so much for your help so far!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
So you did use fastboot to flash the recovery image using instructions from the correct section on this page?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] casey225:
I just realized the problem. I went in to set the backup to go to the sd card, the first time I went into recovery, but didn't do the backup at that time. It reverted back to use internal storage and that's why it said there wasn't enough space. Making a backup as we speak...
