[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3to4:
Hello,

Since a few days, I have been trying to remove Video Call button from my N7105 (Cleanrom V5), as I will never use this feature. I have a question, but first I will explain where I am. Sorry, It's going to be a little long..

1) By changing the following files (playing with "android:visibility="gone") in SecContacts.apk, I got the screenshot_1.

- res\layout-sw359dp-xhdpi\dialpad_additional_buttons.xml

- res\layout-sw359dp-xhdpi\dialpad_additional_buttons_land.xml"

- res\layout-sw359dp-xhdpi\dialpad_additional_buttons_land_can.xml"

- res\layout-sw359dp-xhdpi\dialpad_app_one_hand.xml"

But, when I finish a call, I still got a screen with Video Call button in the center.

2)By changing the following files in SecPhone.apk, I got the screenshot_2.

- res\layout\endcall_button_view.xml

(- res\layout\endcall_button_view_onehand)

- res\layout-land\endcall_button_view.xml

Here is what I changed.

<LinearLayout android: orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/endcallBottomFrame" android:background="@drawable/call_btn_bottom_endcall_2button_bg" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="119.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="12.0dip" android:splitMotionEvents="false">

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="1.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0">

<Button android:id="@id/sendMsgButton" android:text="@string/message" android:drawableTop="@drawable/incall_button_message_icon" style="@style/EndCallButton" />

</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="1.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0">

<Button android:id="@id/ipCallButton" android:text="@string/ip_call" android:drawableTop="@drawable/incall_button_ip_call_icon" style="@style/EndCallButton" />

</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="1.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0">

<Button android:id="@id/voiceCallButton" android:text="@string/call" android:drawableTop="@drawable/incall_button_voice_call_icon" style="@style/EndCallButton" />

</LinearLayout>

<Button android:id="@id/videoCallButton" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="1.0dip" android:text="@string/video_call" android:drawableTop="@drawable/incall_button_video_call_icon" android:layout_weight="1.0" style="@style/EndCallButton" />

So, I got almost what I wanted, BUT, when I click on a call log (screenshot_3), I got the screen (screenshot_4), where I still see a Video Call button in the center.

Here is my question! Can anyone tell me which files I should work on to remove this Video Call button in Screenshot_4?

I have been searching for hours, and I cannot figure out which file(s) to modify...

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everybody! First of all I would like to thank you all for the already given support...

I've installed the O2 rom today on a M2000 and everything's fine except the only thing which was motivating me to install it, BBconnect!

I've changed the gprs settings to fit to my provider (swisscom, switzerland), subscribed to the bb service, when connecting getting the message "successfuly registered", Getting the PIN and an IP address, asked the Administrator to set up my account on our bb server but nothing's happening... no email received!

I must mention that I don't get any Service in the Services Lists, No IT policy, in the Option tab the connection is set to "BlackBerry" (and unable to change it, details: APN blackberry.net and the IP adresses plus ports).

The version of BBconnect is 2.0.1.39)

Can someone help me on this? That would be great! As I'm a newbie with BB a help from you would be much appreciated...

Firewall remove unnecessary traffic. The packet is normally dropped, leaving the client application to wait for a long time-out.

Could this prevent the CPU from going into deep sleep? If so, would it make the battery life shorter?

I can't seem to enable "OK Google" as a hotword to activate Google Now. I've searched and tried going into Google Now settings and downloading the new US language pack but it never enables. Enable Hotword is checked but I get nothing when I try say OK Google.

What am I doing wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] valleyboss209:
Id like to mnow as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flipq88:
Mine works. But you do know it only works when you are on google search right? It won't work on your launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ofsinreno:
Yes, I'm talking specifically about when I'm in Google search... I even tried installing the new GEL launcher which should have enabled "always on" like the Moto X. It worked on my Galaxy Nexus but not my GN3. Now the hotword won't work even on Google search.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:
There was a fix a while back that said you needed to change language to english (UK) , perform a search, then Change it back to English (us). Hot word should then work. Try it out. It may or may not work, but worth it anyways .

tweaking my note 3-alpha style
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ofsinreno:
I just reset my phone as nothing else I tried would work. Working fine now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jaejudah:
I'm having the same problem. Hotword activation won't work at all on my T-Mobile GN3. Using GEL it wont work at all. Tried the US to UK then back to US but no luck. G Now worked flawlessly on my S4. Anyone have any solution???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ofsinreno:
I've noticed that something toggles it on and off, but I haven't figured out what. After I performed a reset it worked fine, then all of a sudden the hot word wouldn't work anymore. I messed around with the settings and it enabled again. Right now however, I checked after reading your post and it's not working. I think it's connected to some setting, I'm trying to figure it out.

edit: I just figured something out. I use a smart watch, and when I enable the Sync in Settings-Device-Accessibility the hotword disables. When I disable the sync in Accessibility, the hotword enables again... Not sure why this happens but I've just tested it and it works for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jaejudah:
i don't use any smart watches yet & i also don't see a Sync option in Accessibility. Went thru the entire Accessibility menu to see if there was anything in there that could possibly be disabling it but i haven't found a thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jaejudah:
Figured out the fix. I just needed to update the offline language (English-US). After that all worked fine.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
I had been using the Xposed module workaround on CM10.1 and CM10.2, but I couldn't get it to work on CM11.

Edit: I got it working, thanks to pastordl and liquid64.

Just flash liquid64's NetflixHackPersist.zip, which is available here and also here.

This workaround doesn't require the Xposed framework, so now I can even use Netflix with ART runtime! :good:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiegoxG:
Worked perfectly, thanks
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddomino:
Works Great!

Worked on my sprint LGOG (LS970), running the CM11 M2 snapshot. Just booted to recovery and flashed the NetflixHackPersist.zip

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GreatSudoku:
I've gotten my phone into a state where I see signal bars, I can make calls and send texts, but no LTE or H+ is displayed and if I try do anything involving the internet it says there's no network connection. Wifi works just fine.

Here's how I got into the predicament. I should have learned my lesson from last time I flashed a Verizon ROM, but I didn't, and I flashed SkyNote RC9Z-3.9.1. Data works just fine in THAT ROM, but any subsequent ROM flashed after that... the network data is completely HOSED. I've tried enabling and disabling network data in settings. I've tried flashing the Devil kernel. I've tried restoring several different ROMS from nandroid backups. All restore fine and all have completely non-working network data. Last time I ran into this I had to flash the stock image in Odin to fiz the issue. This time however, that didn't work. The images flashed successfully, but upon reboot all I got was a a welcome screen bootloop of the samsung swirly logo and the T-Mobile logo.

I'm guessing this has something to do with the 4.3 bootloader? I'm downloading T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_TMB.zip from SamMobile site and boy is it taking FOREVER! 7 hours left on the download. My thinking thoug is that If I unzip this new 4.3 firmware and flash it with Odin (or Kies if I absolutle have to) my device will start behaving again, and Network data will work, and I can go about ROM flashing and hopping again (though I'm gonna stay away from those Verizon ROMs let met tell you!).

Does anyone else have any other suggestions on what I can do to get my data back or to patch my bootloader to the 4.3 version? I was looking at this thread and wondering if it's safe to follow this procedure for patching once I have installed the 4.3 stock image:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Naisamui99:
I updated my Xperia Ion last night. Unfortunately, my phone was shut down by itself and then it've got bootloop but it s quite different from general bootloop because, when to Sony logo appear, it takes about 20 second and slowly disappear and reboot again about 6-7 times.

I've tried to carge it and i get the red led. However, it turns on automatically and everthing happen again. So, i tried to hard reset (3 vibrate) and do wall charging but it's still the same. After that, i've tried to use rubber band for flash mode while it was charging in red LED, but my laptop can't access my phone in flash mode and it's turned on by itself again. What should i do? Thank you in advance. :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dark Wraith:
ok...do this...once in bootloop...vol+ and power button.....then connect in flashmode...make sure you are doing it correctly...vol down/up+power button...if phone connects and disconnects then problem with drivers....install drivers and start over again
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Naisamui99:
I got the blue LED after that Flashtool told me that i need the driver. After that, my laptop installed the driver automatically and then Flashtool informed that my device connected with not debugging mode and MTP mode. now, i see just black screen and nothing happen and i can't reset or hard reset. :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dark Wraith:
it should be green led.blue led is fastboot mode i think. you need flashmode

and a little more details. what were you trying to update before your phone got into bootloop?got an unlocked B/L or locked?

One more thing. Go to flashtool folder>driver folder>drivers.exe(or something like that). Install drivers for your device first. then go to the bottom of the list. select flashmode and fastboot drivers and install those as well
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Naisamui99:
Oh, I see. But I'm also trying to access the flashmode (down volume) but it still bootloop again. Anyway, I was installing custom rom in CMW and my ION is still Locked.

P.S. I can get i nfastboot mode but not for flashmode.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dark Wraith:
you have CWM>???(CWM for locked Bl i guess)

Did you take a backup???

if not...check if ROM was meant for unlocked B/L. If not,wipe cache and dalvik cache..wipe data and try...

if yes, then u have only one option. Using flashmode(green led) use flashtools to flash stock firmware
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Naisamui99:
yup, i used CMW for locked BL

and Yes,i did.

But, my phone doesn't respond me to get into flashmode :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dark Wraith:
if you can get into cwm just restore the backup.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Naisamui99:
For now, i can't access CMW anymore.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dark Wraith:
Then switch it off completely...Put it to charge...(one hour or so)..open flashtool...now if fastboot mode is getting connected then flashboot would also work...search in google how to enter flash mode(which key combinations)..now initialize flashing and wen it asks to plug...plug it in flash mode(make sure u are not pressing power button)..it should be vol+/- only while plugging in....and tell me what does your log say after that...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Naisamui99:
Actually, I've done like this before. But I stuck in fastboot mode and i can't restart it. :( Is there anyway to enter flashmode from fastboot? I searched it but i can't find.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dark Wraith:
do a reset again...vol plus + power button.... and then try
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Naisamui99:
That way give me enter in fastboot mode (Blue LED) :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dark Wraith:
search in xda for ion...for xperia s buttons might be different
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Naisamui99:
I know how to enter Flash mode in Xperia Ion but, i can't reach that mode. :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dark Wraith:
Ok one by one.. Tell me can you switch off the phone completely?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Naisamui99:
Yes! because i've tried for 2 ways. The first way; Let its battery die because of bootloop. And the second is use the hard reset and let the battery die.
[Sony Xperia ZL] marksee:
T-mobile limits 4g speeds on unlocked phones apparently. I tested a t-mobile samsung galaxy and my xperia zl running 4.2.2 , baseband 9x15a kernel 3.4.0 and seems like there's a big difference. In a bad spot, the galaxy was getting about 6mbps, wheres my phone was at 0.30mbps. Whereas on good spots, galaxy got about 23, and zl got about 13mbps.

Anyone have any suggestions how to get the full 4G speed of T-mobile network. i am in the LA, California region.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rwill80:
I have a ZL and live in Long Beach... Also with T-Mobile. My LTE speeds average about 25mbps. I've even gotten almost 50 once but that may have been a fluke. I suspect it may be your area or just how how the ZL picks up the signal.
[Sony Xperia ZL] marksee:
Hi Rwill80, can you post which Rom and also Baseband, Kernel you're using. If possible, screenshot the bottom of settings>about page and i'll try to replicate it on my device.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rwill80:
View attachment 2458506

Currently using CM11 but have gotten similar speed results with stock Sony ROM as we.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rwill80:
Another possibility is if you're using an older Sim card... I have the newest ones available from T-Mobile.
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Let me check when I'm away from work... I haven't tested since loading 4.3 on my phone... what I saw before was an average of about ~ 16-25mb down and between 6-14mb up...

This is in the Seattle, Washington area...
[Sony Xperia ZL] marksee:
Could be possible, but unlikely since i just got a new sim last month. It says TM9258 and has "ISIS" written on it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] marksee:
Thanks, we have the same baseband, still seems odd. can you also post the screenshot of your APN settings from settings> mobile networks>access point names> (select whichever is active). I'll match it and then test to see if it's any use.

I currently have fast.t-mobile.com as the APN.
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
Hmmm... seems like reasonably decent numbers...
[Sony Xperia ZL] rwill80:
Hopefully this is of some help. I do think its quite possibly just the area and how each phone receives the signal. But who knows... There could be more going on then I know.
[LG Optimus G (International)] cooljay5:
Dear Friends,

My optimus G, fell down yesterday, while playing with my kid. The front glass is shattered and touch is not working, but the display is intact. I will be going to service center. Before that, I want to know, is it neccessary to flash the original kdz? I was on liquid smooth before the break and quickly restored my nandroid backup since the display was intact. Please let me knw, if I still have to flash the kdz before going to the service center, since it is a hardware break and will the service center people will deny anything because of bootloader unlocked status.....:crying:
[LG Optimus G (International)] jordy1990:
LG will repair your device either way. But since you caused the screen to break, your device will not be repaired under warranty. So to my mind it won't matter if you're unlocked or not. Either case you will have to pay for the repair yourself.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basileus_AU:
Hello,

Can't update to 4.3, I get new FW notificaiton, it downloads, starts installation at quits at about 25% by rebooting itself and showing a message that I either need to update via Kies or get it to the service center. Any ideas what may be causing this?

I've got 4.2.2 rooted stock with triangle away, got another exactly the same phone and everything went really smoothly w/o any issues.

The worst of all that update is roughly 700 mb big and I have to redownload it again every time it fails.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noypi_101:
happened to me also when upgrading to 4.3 on rooted stock w/ triangle away...

you have to unroot by reflashing a stock firmware in your region via odin...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basileus_AU:
Maybe I'd get a new OTA as tar file and flash it on top of current one w/o downgrading to stock?

What is Google thinking? Is pulling this stunt amidst the largest NSA scandal really such a great idea?

[General Topics] xsenman:
For me, its WE, who are not thinking, as I recall when Google was in its infancy, they were able to offer to every individual who took up their free email offer, so much space ( when NO one else would offer it) on their servers and tell us NOT to delete anything. ( they will manage it)

which makes one wonder why? They don't want you to delete and NOTHING gets truly deleted, as every aspect of your life is of some importance to them. So NSA, Google , seem to have the same or share the SAME objective IMHO.

I'm aware that the baseband modem partition is basically an independent OS.

I think this will become less and less of a concern as users upgrade to DATA based texting solutions like BBM, What's App which is independent of the compromised GSM system.

Same with Voice, we are moving towards Data based solutions like Google Voice and the countless other VoIP solutions based on TCP/IP Data Packets, abandoning GSM reliance, we should no longer be compromised by the insecure GSM technology.

I'm not really sure I understand this part:

http://www.osnews.com/story/27416/The_second_operating_system_hiding_in_every_mobile_phone

Isn't the baseband only incharge of the GSM modem? Why does it need access to Cameras and main storage partitions?
