[Dell Venue] Rasilon:
OK, I recognize I might catch some crap on this, since you guys don't know me from Adam, but it's a crappy situation. My friend passed this on to me, because he is stumped. His brother died in a car wreck on Christmas night, and found among his possessions in the car was this Venue 8320. It's set up with a pattern lock, and of course we can't get past it.Don't have access to the email, because the guy is dead. His father tossed the cell phone that might have been linked to the email, so we can't get in the email that way. So, I'm trying to figure out how to either bypass the pattern lock, or barring that, reset it so that it's at least usable.

I've loaded the Intel Android drivers on my computer, and can get an ADB shell, or access the fastboot when booted into Droidboot, but without root access I'm still pretty limited in what I can do. Is there any way in to this thing, or is my friend SOL?
[Dell Venue] chairsz:
factory reset clears all lock codes but also deletes all info.

power off, then power on while holding voume down button

you should select the option called recovery, on the recovery screen you should c da droid on his back when you are there press and hold power button and voolume up button for 2 or so seconds and you should enter recovery mode
[Dell Venue] Rasilon:
Hmm. When I go to Recovery, all I get is a picture of an android on it's side with a repair hatch open. There does not appear to be any way to do a reset from there, at least not that I can see.

I've been trying to root it, but SuperOneClick isn't working. I tried pushing the various included files manually and executing them, but they won't execute - the error message is "not executable: magic 7F45". I tracked down x86 versions of su, busybox, etc. and they will execute, so it looks like all I need now is an x86 binary for rageagainstthecage/psneuter/zergRush. Does anybody know where I would track one down? I haven't had any luck finding one so far.
[Dell Venue] deansouth8:
When at then android hatch picture you can press power then vol+ same time, let go and u will have more options. Good luck.
[Dell Venue] chairsz:
there is a working method of rooting this tab is for the 4.2.2 version ( some 4.2.2's are not really working with root but others are) and if your tabby is the 4.3 update then that method to root exists somewhat but the creator of that method isnt releasing it till he deems its ready. so just look in this forum somewhere you'll find you root method if your on 4.2.2

also to enter recovery when at the droid on his back screen press and hold the volume up and power button simultaneously

there you can wipe stuff.
[Dell Venue] Rasilon:
Yeah, thanks. I don't think it's 4.3, because it hasn't been on a network since 12/25, although perhaps that's why I haven't been able to root it. Kernel version is 3.4.34, which I see has been reported as present in a patched 4.2.2 version that is not vulnerable to standard 4.2.2 exploits. I guess that's what I haven't been able to get in. I'll tell my friend that he can either wait for a 4.3 root exploit to be released, or wipe it clean.

Thanks for the help chairsz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] resarfekim:
When I wake up my phone with the home key, it usually takes me the the "recent apps" screen (as if I long-pressed home), so I have to press 'back' to get rid of it. I just want it to turn the screen on.

I am running Slimkat 4.4.2 with Nova launcher. I can't find a setting on the rom or Nova to disable this.

It did the same thing when I was on Whomp rom (with Nova).

It doesn't seem to do this on the stock launcher. Is this a known Nova issue?

Anyone else have this issue, or a solution?

Thanks!

Mike
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel90:
It could be nova launcher. I use apex and don't have this issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jplecher:
I'm using CM 11 and since it's using 4.4.2 Kit Kat so I don't know if SlimKat have the same... you may solve it if you go to your phone settings - buttons - home button and put a check there. There are other adjustments under buttons setting you can find there too.

Good luck!
[Networking] AndreAkaNick:
First of all, Hi , I'm new here :)

And sorry if my English aint perfect...

So, what I'm asking is: Is there any way/app that I can set a custom BackQuery that can work on all aplications?

Someting similiar to the HandlerUI mod.

Because all I need is the BackQuery setting to bypass my internet limit on all apps.

I dont know how but I was using the HandlerUI with OperaMini before, and it glitched and closed itself, then I restarted it and after that all my apps started working again (WhatsApp, Default Browser, Youtube etc etc)

My internet plan is 10Mb/day, then after that it become 36kb/s speed. Thats why I use the Custom BackQuery setting to bypass that limit and keep browsing with full speed.

That glitch happened two times till now, and I dont know how I did it..

So again, is there a way to do it with an app or system edit?

A way to set a custom BackQuery without using those Browser with the HandlerUI mod?

Thx in advance.
[Networking] AndreAkaNick:
No one?

Is there anything I can do to insert my query at the app?

I dont need the HUI menu, just need to use the backquery, dont matter how..

i'm looking for a new ROM to run, but has to have WiFi calling.

But trying to figure out which Roms have this feature is hit and miss for my searching through the threads

is it always listed as a feature?

do all TW Roms have it?

what do i need to look for?

maybe there is a list of Roms that have this feature?

just to be clear not looking for suggestions for the best Rom. just Roms that have this feature

thanks for your help

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mikecrews:
I wanted to put my App Drawer on the Shortcut Clock, but it wasn't available to add in the Gear Manager clock configurator.

I found a free drawer app on Play Store that works perfectly. The icon it provides for the TW shortcut dock is a perfect match to the Gear's icon style, too. I can't post links yet, but the app is "AppDrawer (MIUI App Drawer)" by JakedUp.

You will need to install something that allows you to access the app menu with a gesture, in order to configure it. But the default drawer style is a single-column icon list with titles, which will probably work for most people.

I set mine to have: 2 rows, 2 columns, horizontal scrolling, 15 point type, icon size 100, icon spacing 6. That makes it look like the Gear's default app drawer, but with icon titles.

Hey everybody I have two quick questions... First is it possible to somehow changes tracks with screen off using volumes keys? And 2nd is it recommened to stay on mf3 or upgrade to 4.3 mk2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
You can enable the long press track skip with the Xposed Framework and a module such as Wanam Xposed, or flash a ROM with the option already in it like the 4.2.2 version of Hyperdrive. Whether or not you upgrade is up to you, the only real benefit at this point is that on 4.2.2 you can run a Google Edition ROM on Safestrap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Brooklynsour:
Thanks so much for reminding me I had this when I first got and rooted my phone... Chose too many options I think and it was acting up so I Odin back to stock mf3... After I was on shostock 2.3 ?? but tried to update to v3 like a moron didn't realize to update to mk2 at first -_-... And graviton wasn't really working so now its stock and the wanam ????...

Hi Lads!

I'm experiencing problems with my HTC sensation. I've installed newest ROM and gapps from Albinoman887 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524961). My GPS works just fine if I'm using WiFi or data network, unfortunately I don't have an internet plan so I can only use WiFi when in range. No matter how long I would wait google maps (I've saved offline map) or Garmin/TomTom wont connect with GPS. I've tried to connect it in not urbanised area,were i wasn't surrounded by building or high trees.I was switching between 'device only' and 'assited with WiFi and network data' but since I don't have internet connection I think it makes no difference. I had this problem as well on - cm-10.1-20130610-Albinoman887-pyramid , but as I had internet plan wasn't bothered about that. Did you face similar problem ? Would you know how to fix that issue ?

Unboxing Out
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] liteon163:
Just today I ordered from Newegg a black LG G Pad 8.3 and found this case on Amazon. I have one like it for my (now inoperable) Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 and like it so much I wanted to get one for the new tablet. I'm interested in seeing how it works, especially in portrait mode because that's primarily how I use mine.

Let's see who posts a video first... ;)

I'd probably get to it around Wednesday.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] dehsA:
I think I got the same case as you from AliExpress. However, the part that holds the case is very poorly molded for me, especially the corners.

Can you take some photos of the corners?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] monkeefied:
I had a similar case for my htc flyer and the circular rotational part ended up wearing a ring onto the back of the tablet. Does it look like this may cause a similar issue?
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] liteon163:
I've had the case for a few days now but just received the tablet that goes into it. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take photos today, but I should tomorrow.

I did, however, put the tablet into the case. Initially, it didn't seem very secure. But I forgot to put a microSD card into the tablet, so I had to remove the tablet from the case. It was way more secure coming out than it felt going in. I'm not worried about protection. (That paragraph would border on pornographic if I weren't talking about a tablet and its case).

The angles of the case seem like they'll be fine. I usually use just the shallow angle, and it didn't seem tippy. As for the ring in back, I had a similar case on my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and there was no wear on the tablet, just a ring of dirt from me putting my index finger in there when holding the tablet. I would imagine the same will happen with the G Pad.

I'll have a more thorough write up tomorrow. And photos.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] liteon163:
The case is more imbalanced than I thought it would be when using the G Pad in portrait mode. I guess I'll have to get used to using it in landscape mode...

The plastic "tray" the Pad clips into seems to be covered (not molded, but actually covered) with the same material as the front, which leads to some irregularities in finish. You can see these areas around the corners, which I've included in the photos. But these areas don't interfere with the fit of the case -- they actually might help it be more secure as you have to pull the Pad out past these small "lumps."

The ring on the back features a stationary plastic ring around which the cover rotates. The cover fits loosely, the ring fits tightly. I am not at all concerned about wear and tear in this are, just fingerprints and dirt (which you can already see in the photos).

The case's cutouts are fine, revealing the parts you need access to and covering the rest.

Overall, the case seems worth the money. But I might look around for a similar one that is more stable when using the Pad in portrait mode.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] liteon163:
I could only attach four photos in that last reply. Here are the rest.

Again, feel free to ask any questions you might have.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] barotropic:
This case is available all over ebay, and I got mine yesterday ("New Folio 360° Rotating Leather Case Cover For LG G Pad" item 131079877700

sold by super8shopping).

Magnetic on/off feature works perfectly. Great protection of screen (when closed) and all corners. Works nicely as a stand for landscape, but fairly unstable as a stand in portrait. $13.50USD, and I'm very pleased with it. :victory:

Mine is listed as brown, although it's a very light brown:
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] liteon163:
I don't like this case's instability in portrait mode, so I ordered one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000CKVOOY/

It looks much more stable and can be configured to work with other devices. I'll keep you posted.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] GuestK00445:
Android is supposed to be open, customizable and free, vs iOS. That's why I'm making the switch (plus I couldn't stand the screen size of iPhone).

But now I realize Samsung is behaving like Apple:

- Knox highly discourages (prevents) rooting, just like Apple tries to prevent jailbreaks

- Firmware can't be downgraded, just like on iOS too

Part 1 is still acceptable under the pretext of corporate security, especially since end users generally have no issues getting warranty even with Knox tripped.

But part 2 is simply inconceivable IMO. No downgrading is just ridiculous. It's way worse than part 1 because at least users can choose to void warranty and ignore Knox, but part 2 is maintaining an iron control.

:(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alom5:
That is the really stupid bit. I have been upgrading, downgrading when I wanted to since the galaxy s days and now this not being able to downgrade really ppppppeeee me off. Didn't care about Knox and tripped it.... But...?... Let's set what's out there come September when my contract runs out
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GuestK00445:
When I read threads on how which firmware versions are rootable (without tripping knox) and which aren't, they remind me of apple blogs posting about which iOS versions are jailbreak safe.

Can't believe I'm still gonna buy a note 3!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] donalgodon:
I get it. The hardware is still a good value, but I'll probably look elsewhere in the future.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ultramag69:
These companies get too big and start to dictate what the user wants instead of listening... And when they are sitting pretty on top they tend to stop developing new innovations because "They are the best" and then the item tends to stagnate with VERY little actual developement thrown in. Anything new is a kneejerk reaction to the next up and comer for king of the heap....

They will still say it is for the best of the user but in reality its because they're too damn lazy to work. Then comes the copyright everything attitudeand the litigation and more effort is spent suing others for copyright einfingement than making the latest and greatest, what was Apple"s big thing a while back, oh yeah, lets make it white....

Works well for them and most users who have a hard time working out which end to speak in but not for those who actually want to own, use and control what their device actually does....

Take a lil bit, bit by bit til theres nothing less
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ixon2001:
It's not just Samsung others are going the same route, LG for instance says it got something similar to KNOX in the pipeline, HTC makes it difficult as possible to root their phones, Sony is also going to follow a similar path to Samsung & LG as they all want the corp market to buy their smartphones and feel safe, sod the general consumer that not interested in any of this.

The option in the near future if you want to tinker without tripping something or blowing an efuse is to buy a Nexus.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] qazibasit:
Its also because of the data breach that chinese and NSA are doing. They want our phones and its data to be safe. Not like modified system files with backdoors and trojans. So its for our own safety. Yes u can always change the layouts, launchers and other stuff. But changing kernel and rooting devices to use system procedures. These are just for developers and those who actually know abt stuff. Not for the common man.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
Because Samsung need sale by millions on US like Apple but must be very Secured:

Quote from another post:

...The Knox Bootloader that is the first from a new type of bootloaders, block and not permit many things.

To understand what is the Knox and is bootloader and kernel read this:

https://www.samsungknox.com/en/overview/technical-details See also the video How to Use on it...

On the first attachment we see at left the usual Android, at right we see the Android whit the Samsung Security System Knox in white and the usual until now in blue. Whit this System people can have like two phones on one. A personal whit his own appl and a second secured to work on Enterprises and Governments and others.

The Knox Bootloader protect the secured part and not permit the flashing by Odin some files that it consider not secured like the oldest bootloaders. Then the Knox Warranty Void: 0x0 is first of all the Security System Knox secured. 0x1 is not secured.

For example I quote this from that doc/link:

Samsung KNOX offers a multi-faceted security solution rooted in the tamper-resistant device hardware, through the Linux kernel and Android operating system. The first line of defense against malicious attacks, Samsung KNOX is currently approved to run on US Department of Defense networks. (If flag 0x0, my opinion).
