Same to you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
just a bit of info...

check the development section for the wifi hotspot mod.

i had a thread there, and there is another by joshbeach

it is totally possible to get the wifi hotspot without twrp.

as long as you have root you can copy the two files over manually using any root enabled file explorer.

hope that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] panchaboy:
if you dont want to flash the hotspot mod....you can try WIFI TETHER ROUTER (need to be rooted) it works pretty well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aFoodStampBaby:
I believe somewhere in the development thread there is a way to get hotspot without tripping knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mann75:
But tripping the knox file really doesnt matter if you dont break your device right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aFoodStampBaby:
Tripping knox is just to let your carrier and the manufacturer know you altered your device's software thus voiding your warranty. You will get a service refusal from both your carrier and manufacturer on either hardware or software. So as long as you know this then go ahead trip knox and have fun. I mean you can now upgrade every 6 months now with a phone trade in or a 1 year upgrade with no phone trade in. They don't even check if you tripped knox when your trading in your phone. So go ahead trip knox we're getting upcoming phones anyway. Out with the old and in with the new.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BigMosley:
How would Sprint know if you tripped Knox? I used the one up program and gave them a rooted s3 with a stock ROM as my trade in. The sprint stores around me can barely navigate thru the phones UI let alone would have any idea how to check if knox was tripped. So your saying Sprint can tell and would refuse me service thru their TEP service?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aFoodStampBaby:
Yes the techs can check. All they have to do is go to download mode and look at the odin bootloader where is say knox 0x0 will be 0x1 letting them know you altered your device

I installed Sunnysoft Backup trial version yesterday, as it looks to be the only backup tool that will backup /Storage/ and /Storage Card/ (correct me if I'm wrong?).

I did a full backup of everything to memory card. Later in the day I noticed that some of the control panel icons were missing. I did a soft reset, and that got back the icons (I'm not saying that the icons going missing was anything to do with Sunnysoft Backup though, it could just be memory).

Then I realised that the phone PIN prompt hadn't yet popped up. After a minute or two I got the prompt, but then the phone icon at the top said "No Service" even though the green LED on my i-mate JAM was blinking.

I tried the SIM in another phone and it was fine. I put the SIM back into the i-mate and got my friend to call me. He got the ringing tone on his call and my phone screen popped up his photo & name (through PocketX PhotoContacts), but the phone wouldn't let me answer it. The green button just opened the phone program as though there was no active incoming call. He continued to hear it ringing on his phone.

If I tried to make a call myself I got "Number not recognied" balloon popup.

I tried several soft-resets, and a reset to safe mode (using SPB Pocket Plus), but no luck. I tried an uninstall of Sunnysoft backup but no luck.

A hard reset fixed things and luckily I'd taken an ActiveSync backup just before installation so used this to restore my phone. Hey presto - everything working again.

Has anyone else had problems with Sunnysoft Backup, or could it be something else?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Tho San Thanh Pho:
Your milage may vary. (This is something that works for me and may not work for you. I found that this way works for me and does not lead me to the up sell page unlike connecting my com outer directly to my gnote 3)

P.s. not all of these steps may apply to every phone as some steps/options may be unavailable.

So I tried something yesterday. Yesterday, I took my note 10.1 2014 edition (along with my sgsiii and my other phone) and hooked it with my wife tethering from my tmo note 3.

Steps on note 3:

1. Create a new apn. Have everything copied over from the original default apn that came with the note 3 but do not copy over the field "apn type" as this will 'somehow' obstruct the tethering and will always lead you to the up sell page.

2. Download your choice of any hotspot toggles on the market(pref. A widget), that way you can enable the hotspot from your home screen and not from the settings menu.

3. Toggle the widget. There should be a dialog box that pops up saying "wait til we verify you account" or some thing. Press the home button once that dialog shows up.

Steps on hooking the computer up.

(I have also used this with another android phone and tablet that I had laying around)

If on an Android phone 2.3.7 and later,

1 connect to wifi.

2. Connect to computer via usb but do not enable the storage option if one is prompted.

3. Turn on usb tethering.

4. Profit.:victory:

Or with a tablet(I used my SGN10.1 2014)

Your tethering settings are not shown.

1. Download the app tethering settings shortcut.

2. Connect to the hotspot.

3. Press on the app icon to go into the tether settings.

4 enable the usb tether.

5. Profit.:laugh:

And yes I know this is a longer way of getting Internet to my computer but hey, what works is what works.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehcool:
Im just wondering for security reasons im thinking of using androids built in Encryption tool my question is will this effect things such as my custom recovery or other functions and will it have any negative effects on things like battery life or performance
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Personally I stay away from encryption. I can't speak for this device but on the s3, if you encrypted sdcard, if you factory reset, that encryption key is lost and that data forever inaccessible. Whether nexus is any better, I don't know.

Recovery will boot fine but since it doesn't have the encryption key, I would assume it cannot browse data that's encrypted. Id love to hear otherwise on this

There will always be an overhead when writing / reading data within the encryption. Extra cycles will be used to actually process the encryption so I expect a slight impact in battery life and a slightly bigger impact to performance

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] teerout:
are twrp backups non-compatible across different versions? i have been using smartguys version of twrp, and just upgraded to the newer twrp for playing with some newer roms. im done playing and now want to restore to my backup i made...with smartguys version of twrp...with the newer version...and my backup files are not showing in recovery....:(
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
They should be compatible. You would have to copy your backups from the old backup folder to the new folder though.

I said should be compatible because I haven't tried it myself yet.

It would probably be best to just flash the old TWRP and restore with that for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Edit: Old backups do indeed work with 2.6.3.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] teerout:
thanks for the replies meek,

anyway, i had updated TWRP to flash over the kitkat w/ awesomebeats. I got it to work but then...i tried to flash my recovery and couldnt access the recovery files. then, the kitkat awesome beats rom wouldnt let me access my usb storage...grrrr. so, to get back to my recovery files, i downloaded the older version of TWRP through chrome on my phone, and was able to flash it back, and access my recoveries.

Hello,

Yesterday I updated my unlocked bell i747m S3 to 4.3.

I used it on rogers before with no issues regarding LTE connectivity.

However I did a factory reset on the phone before the upgrade, and after the upgrade I cannot find the LTE/HSPA setting instead I see LTE/WCDMA/GSM settings.

This phone was never rooted and I just updated through Samsung keys. Does anyone know a fix to this problem?

Thank You in advance,

Stas

Hallo! I have a Europe version of the Moto G and was wondering when the update will came(I heard that the update for other countries will come somewhere end January); Do I get the transparent notification bar and the buttons? And the "Google Experience Launcher"? Do I need to download the apk?

I tried it (on 4.3) but did not get any transparent bar.

I need some help with my cellphone, when the system starts it loops in motorola logo.

Yesterday a friend gave me an Atrix 4G with this problem. I don't know what version of android it was using or if the bootloader was locked so i tried to repair it by flashing an stock 2.3.4 .sbf with RSD Lite but it fails and windows give me an error with "qhsusb_dload failed to install the driver". Then i tried to install the stock 2.3.6 and the process fails again but this time there is no qhsusb_dload problem or at least windows doesn't shows it.

RSD Lite gave me this:Failed flashing process. Interface AP-OS: Error flashing subscriber unit. Device API Error: 0xE0020090 Address: 0x2000 Command: BIN (0xe0323090); phone connected

I can enter RSD protocol support and Fastboot without problem.

I will appreciate any advice and help!!!!

I also manually updated to v1.86Pro. There is nothing even under logs... I've attempted to remove and reinstall TB without success.

The other weird thing I've noticed is that when I reboot into recovery, I have multiple paths I can search for a zip: -0, -11, -clockworkmod, -legacy, and -obb... ???
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

What exactly happens when you open TB? If you can still see Root Explorer and KTweaker you should be able to use TB.

That recovery thing is not a problem, it's only showing some paths... Why it happens, I don't know, but I think it's not the issue here.

If nothing more can solve it, you should completely unroot and root your device again.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopperCNC:
We currently can't flash any recovery (except for stock) on the 4.4 bootloader. If you want to use CWM or TWRP, you'll need to downgrade to the 4.3 bootloader first, or wait until we have working recoveries on 4.4 BL for our MotoG's.
[Other SmartWatches] jimlivingston:
While I impatiently wait for my Omate TS, I have been poking around for an alternative. I have simple requirements (at least I thought so) that I would like: GPS, Bluetooth, and the ability to run Android apps. You see, I really just want an Endomondo watch. Enter the V Strike.

It looks very similar to the IM Watch, but includes GPS and 2G GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz). The selling point is $213, direct from China - of course.

www.chinavasion.com/kixe/

Thoughts?
[Other SmartWatches] shaolin95:
Why not the ZGPAX S5 then. Dual core as welll 1Ghz, 512MB Ram, 4GB internal with external SD card an SIM card slots. And cheaper :D

I got mine from ebay for $150 shipped USA seller.

I posted some videos of it running MAME emulator with a PS3 controller even.

It also runs FPSE and even the dreamcast one (textures are not correct for some things)...pretty impressive but notifications are not done...just promises so far...

Two reasons: that ugly camera and branding.
[Other SmartWatches] shaolin95:

[Other SmartWatches] jimlivingston:
I didn't mean as much as who made it, rather the placement of the brand on the front of the watch. At this point, they all seem to be Chinese Factory developed watches.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
It is yet another EC-308 rebrand and not even an EC-309 so no 3G or HSPA+.
[Other SmartWatches] jimlivingston:
That is good information. I do not care about 2G v 3G. I want GPS, Bluetooth (for the HRM) and the ability to run Endomondo. From the looks of it, the 308 would be fine for me. At least until the unicorn that is the TS arrives.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
If you are not looking for a stand alone cellular smartwatch then the SmartQ Z would be a better choice. Newer Android version, BT 4.0, water resistant and is less than half the price. I'd say hit up the SmartQ thread and see if somebody will test some apps for you.

If only it had GPS for my runs. :)

I didn't test this myself, however, someone in the SMartQ thread says that the watch INDEED has GPS. Even though its not Advertised. Though don't quote me on that.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
go to activesync app on the ppc

create a server source

enter a totally fictitious name and address

follow the wizard, dont select any items to sync

set the period to sync as manual for both

finish the wizard

open the options

delete the new server source

the default setting is to auto start and sync, by creating the fictitious entry it allows you to change those settings

deleting the server source retains the sync period settings

Simon,

I have done this numerous times when I had the O2 ROM. Now I have the IMate ROM, it works if I am not connected to anything, so that is good, for that is what I want. One thing I notice when I am connected through WIFI, active sync application on my Exec still opens up on the background. Are you having the same experiences with this setup or am I missing a setting here?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
my active sync doesnt auto start AS at all anymore if i set the server source to sync manually, then delete the server source.

i use wifi a lot and it also doesnt start it.

there could be other reasons such as programs you have that auto update from the web when wifi is running, eg SPB weather. again, i set this to update manually.

what other programs do you have that require or use an AS or WIFI connection?

So my unrooted, Jellybean SG2 decided to crap out on me. It's stuck in the dread boot loop! OH NOES! I got a new SG2, so I don't care if my SG2 what software is put on it. I just want my precious data (music, photos, videos). Some said it couldn't be done, but I found this thread on here that said otherwise.

Making use of SiyahKernal, it should be possible to mount my SG2 to my laptop. I decided to Odin this puppy up. I wanted to go by the tutorial the other thread posted, so I tried using the Jellybean T-Mobile rom (which my SG2 was using). I used the ROM, for my device, from Samsung Updates. I made sure to restart my PC, shut down any processes by Kies, etc, etc before starting Odin. When I went to flash the ROM, Odin froze for a good 15 minutes. I decided that nothing was going to happen and unplugged my S2.

So, here I am, stuck with the message, "firmware upgrade encountered an issue in Samsung Galaxy S2." I, somehow, made the problem worse. I just want my data. As you can see, I'm a total noob with this stuff. Please help!

Get a stock rom from Samfirmware, AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com, flash it with Odin following instructions in thread stickied near top of Q&A titled 'Flash stock firmware...'.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertFranz:
I am about to make a decision between Galaxy Tab's and Ipads for deployment of about 30 devices to support a web app (Netsuite.)

We have to have cellular connectivity, as these will be used in the filed and wifi access cannot be relied upon.

I have a demo Galaxy Tab from our carrier - AT&T.

As usual, I am aghast at the sheer volume of cruft preinstalled.

What are my options in general for removing them?

Do I have to root the devices?

I'm not really opposed to that, as long as I can still keep the devices secure.

The carrier can suck eggs re the warranty.

We use Maas360 as an MDM.

I informally support the smart phones and tablets for my department (engineering). as painful as this is to admit in an android/tab 3 forum, apple is much easier to support in a corporate environment. they're harder to screw up, easier for the non-tech crowd to set up. all the reasons I dislike iOS for personal devices make it easier for corp use.

our company uses native iOS email, but touchdown for android devices. touchdown isn't the greatest email app, which is another reason I prefer iOS for corporate use.

if they start allowing KNOX devices from Samsung to use the native Samsung email app, I will switch my work line.

just my opinions. for work I use an iPhone 4. for personal use I have an S4 and a tab 3 7.0, and the wife has a note 2 and a note 8.

Wildtangent?

Their borderline malware has been banned on my network for years.

I suspect rooting isn't an option for me, as it hoses future upgrades.

Then again, since these are AT&T branded, there likely won't ever be any updates.

I just got a new Moto X GSM unlocked from moto maker directly.

I do not want to unlock the bootloader, just have root for adblocking and titanium backup for the most part.

Is there a way to root on 4.4 without downgrading/unlocking?
