[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ammjr71:
Good in theory, I'd wait until final release.

I got my invite and downloaded it. I let it run for 3 days before ditching it. In theory it is great, it would know when you are at work and give you apps that you would mainly use for work... home - give you games or whatever. Problem is, it didn't. It worked for a few hours the first morning, then it kept switching me to something else. Even when I was on my home wi fi it would give me work stuff. It would tell me that I was driving when I was sitting at my desk, or that I was home while sitting in my office... plus it's not customizable if that matters to you.

I figured that I would let it run for a few days to see if it ironed itself out about my locations, but it didn't. And the odd thing was it kept turning my bluetooth on all day. That part I didn't understand at all. I sent a note to the developers and got a canned response about being in beta and all that, but never heard back from them. I went back to Apex. That's my story, take it for what it's worth. Good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrPhant0m:
Thank you for stopping to answer my question...

tl;dr version: See bold section below.

The "I have time" version:

First of all.. I'm an old hand at root/custom mods/recoveries... but, the KNOX stuff and latest enterprise concerns have put me a little behind. I was running TWRP and CM11 on my S3 when I updated to a Note 3.

I had read up on the root and safestrap techniques, and it was my understanding that any MJ* builds could achieve root... but would also trip the KNOX counter. So... when I got the Note3 last week, I made sure it came with MI9, the original firmware. I went home that night, and tried using Universal Root De La Vega (URDLV) to root it, since the standard RDLV method had been redacted from the Verizon Note 3 forum, and redirected to URDLV. Anyway... URDLV didn't work. It kept failing no matter what I tried. I read over 100 pages of the forum, and still couldn't achieve more than a few soft bricks. I also did not want to use the Kingo or vRoot methods because of reasonable doubt that there is malicious intent behind them.

So... I found a reference to the original RDLV technique from the original MI9 release, and tried it with success.

I'm now rooted, with not a hint of MJ7 or MJE on my phone... running a stock install of MI9 with safestrap 3.71. I believe SuperSU removed some knox stuff during install, and I used Titanium Backup to freeze the FWUpdate app to prevent OTA.

Now, finally for my questions:

Having a rooted MI9 stock install currently... Can I update my phone to a newer build, or to a custom ROM based on a newer build... without tripping the knox counter or using Kingo / vRoot?

If the only "updates" that came through the OTA were patching root/knox, then I don't care if I ever update... but, I understand that they also improved the modem/radio... and that matters to me, since I need the *best* reception on my phone, or I'll drop calls on the daily.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

Post that store's zip code!!! :D :D :D

Could you post a link to that thread? The Odin tarballs are simply just plain old "tar" archives with a MD5 signature of the whole tarball appended on to the end. (tar will ignore that extra "junk", but Odin will read it only to make sure you didn't accidentally give Odin a truncated file.). What I was suggesting was unpacking a 100% stock Odin tarball, removing all the low level boot software, re-packing only the stock "OS" components (listed in my prior post) and then re-adding the MD5 sig to the new tar file.

This is very simplistic, and it is quite possible that someone has already tried it - and it is even possible that it could still trip Knox or even hard-brick the phone as there are all sorts of Trustzone "attribution" applets running on the phone (TIMA, RPM, apnhlos, etc) So, if you were not willing to do a "within-14-day warranty return" ... then it is off the table. (otoh, maybe that BestBuy still has some MI9 phones left :D :D :D).

sorry - I must have missed the part about you already having root. my bad!.

This was something specific in the bootloader (sbl1 or aboot, I can't remember). BTW, that tethering hack persists into MJ7 as well - you don't even need to be rooted to take advantage of it. It is a App-level defect, not something involving the bootloader(s) software.

I think the OP of the URLDV thread lists specifically-supported variants of the Note 3, rather than saying "you can't use it on these models". The SM-N900V was not in that list the last time I looked.

bftb0
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Sorry - my bad again. I shouldn't try to recall all this gibberish from my head. I was mis-remembering Chainfire's "CF-Auto-Root" thread (e.g. post #3) or perhaps his site where some variants of SM-N900* are supported but not others.

Note that in designgear's URDLV thread he says (1st post)

the "or higher" is a little vague here... e.g. MJE > MJ7. I couldn't find (with a quick search) a post here in the Verizon Note 3 forum where someone said "I tried {U}RLDV with MJ7 and it tripped my Knox"; otoh, I did find a few posts where folks claimed that was indeed the case (that it succeeds in rooting, but also trips the Knox warranty flag).

good luck with your phone.

p.s. FYI you can return items to BestBuy via mail. Or if you hard-brick it so that download mode no longer works, there's nothing to be inspected on the screen. just sayin ;)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrPhant0m:
A new strategy has been proposed for individuals in my position (and that is "on a rooted early firmware with knox untripped")... and targeted toward individuals that want to try to avoid the Kingo and vRoot methods due to a potential security risk of your device information.

The strategy goes loosely as follows:

Prerequisites: Rooted early firmware installed (MI9, for instance), superSU installed, (assumed) knox counter = 0x0

Upgrade to the paid version of SuperSU, which has an option for "OTA survival" intended to preserve root through an OTA. (turn on this option)

Remove any custom recovery, including safestrap

Apply the MJE update through the settings menu (which does not, in and of itself, trip the knox counter, but would normally remove root)

Hope that when your MJE-equipped Note 3 boots up again, SuperSU delivered on its promise, and preserved root through the OTA process without tripping the knox counter.

"Hope" in that last bullet is an operative word. Obviously, no guarantees are provided. You may end up unrooted, and thereby worse off than you started... with your only recourse being the use of some method of rooting, and sacrificing either your knox counter, the security of your device information, or possibly both... (!!!)

With little experience to really back up the following claim... I'd think that the ideal situation would be to start on a fresh install, with nothing other than the preinstalled software and SuperSU installed. To me, this would be the most likely to succeed, as there would be the least variables unaccounted for.

Any thoughts on this approach?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sky Masters:
Update MI9?

[MENTION=3085711]DrPhant0m[/MENTION] - I am currently in the same position as you just described in your original post. I rooted early using RDLV and my build is MI9. I wasn't too concerned with making a lot of changes until I see that Kit Kat is now out and I'm considering the upgrade. Did you follow the strategy you outlined below or are you still on MI9 build?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanbg:
Do you have MI9 bootloader? There's an engineering bootloader floating around if you are feeling adventerous.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sky Masters:
No. I have the original tar files that was needed for the root and the unroot files. Do you know what this engineered bootloader does / contains? And what build are you on?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrPhant0m:
Sky,

First... DO NOT INSTALL THE OTA UPDATE TO NC4. More info later.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way... I'm currently up to NC2, Android 4.4.2. It's great, and I recommend you do the same as I did.

Find the NC2 leaked ROM from BeansTown here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726558

Follow the directions EXACTLY... watch the video(s) of someone else doing it FIRST and make sure you have no questions. Use an MD5 checker to ensure that your files are PERFECT... and watch the video(s) AGAIN as you do it yourself. (This is what I did, and I had 0 problems)

You can stop here if you want. You'll have a rooted phone that is 99.999% stock KitKat, and you won't have to employ any particularly shady methods to get there.

But... since you'll have safestrap installed, you can opt install other custom 4.4.x Touchwiz-based ROMs like HyperDrive or BajaROM. I spent at least a month on the stock NC2 leak from BeansTown before I ventured out. I'm on BajaROM right now, and I like it. I had phone volume issues with HyperDrive.

Again...

do not install the NC4 OTA update. Don't ever install ANY OTAs, in fact.

NC2 is special, and it should probably be the last firmware you install on your phone, unless someone very important tells you otherwise. It is somewhat of a "test" release with a few features that Verizon would not normally want consumer phones to have. Most of these are only useful to devs, but they eventually trickle down to us in the form of modifications to kernels, bootloaders, etc. The most notable feature to most uses is that you can downgrade back to MJE if you want. No other Verizon Note 3 firmware will allow you to downgrade at all. Though, if it all worked for you, I don't know if you'd ever want to.

So... that's my recommendation. What concerns do you have? Feel free to ask any questions. I'll answer if you "thank" me on this post. :D lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrPhant0m:
You don't need your original RDLV tar files. There's a brief period where you take a leap of faith by installing NC2, and you will abandon MI9 forever, since you can only roll back to MJE, and not all the way to MI9. So, you won't be able to use the RDLV files again. If you land on MJE with problems... you need to re-root, and you'll have to use Kingo or some other somewhat shady method. So, it's not without consequence. The risk is low, though, if you follow all the directions carefully and only make safe, calculated decisions. Now is a good time for me to mention that I assume no responsibility for any mishaps. What you do with your phone is your prerogative. If you don't want to take any risks, then disregard my posts. But, really... it'll be fine. :good:

The "Engineering" firmware referred to earlier is likely the NC2 leak that I mentioned, used as the base for Beans's stock rooted ROM from April.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sky Masters:
Thanks for sharing the info and the directions. I am going to try it out tonite and I'll let you know how it goes. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to update to 4.4.2 but with all the comments I've been reading, it seemed like I was missing out!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sky Masters:
[MENTION=1412079]drphantom[/MENTION] - Thanks again for leading me to those instructions my man!! Worked like a charm and I'm trying out the BajaROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrPhant0m:
Glad to help! I'm also honored to provide you with your first "Thanks" on xda!

NC2 is great. The only complaints I've heard is that some people have worse reception, but I can tell you with confidence that my reception is MUCH better, so it must be a regional thing. I used to drop my calls in 2-3 places every day on my commute... and I think I've only dropped like 5 calls TOTAL since I upgraded to NC2. If you have reception issues, you can always downgrade just the radio and keep KK and your ROM... but again, I never had to do that.

I'm hoping that 4.4.3 brings Google Wallet tap to pay functionality... and that there's an easy upgrade path while keeping root.

Good luck!

[Fairphone 1] boondiordna:
Folks,

This might amuse you, but I'm learning. Still. As always. While my GPS is already working quite fast most of the time, I still think I did not figure out how to use cell broadcast for location. I'm not sure, though. Hope someone here may be able to look into that. FasterGPS is my point of interest atm. It sets an ntp server - so far, so good. I just had a look at the advanced settings: nothing set there. This bugs me. I found several threads on XDA dev posting various settings, but also this on rootzwiki telling us, quite convincingly, why most of the settings found on the web (and on XDA) are crap: http : / / rootzwiki .com/topic/28989-the-end-all-be-all-guide-to-your-gps/ (kick out the blanks, I assume I can't post links, yet).

I already mentioned (here: http:// forum.xda-developers .com/showthread.php?t=2643201 ) that WiFi location is not workin' on my device. Now, I found the key ENABLE_WIPER is not set. I also can see that SUPL_HOST is not set, which seems to be the cell broadcast providing server. Now, has anybody else checked that sub-menu and has some opinion on that? I'm quite willing to copyedit it into the wiki for the greater good of everybody, but I need some more experienced guys here.

I will just play with the settings now, hoping that I don't cause any harm. (Yay, fasterGPS has created a backup...) Some Q I would like to see answered:

1) SUPL_HOST is for cell broadcast location, and also including WiFi SSID location, right?

2) Does cell (not: wifi) broadcast triangulation work if you have only wifi data connection?

3) Is there some auto-updating list of geolocation servers somewhere? Including ports and cert location for DL? I'd like to have a choice beyond Nokia and Google, and _definetly_ a server using TLS/SSL. Hell, this is GEOLOCATION! I don't want to scream it openly at the whole of the interwebz. Why are there even servers WITHOUT TLS/SSL? (Really sorry to ask, me searchengine-fu is so b0rken, I haz founds none listz... ^_^ )

4) Just to clarify: we can use any provider for SUPL AGPS, right? That is to say, neither use our 'native' providers NOR supl.google.com or supl.nokia.com? Say you're on Telefonica (Germany: O2, mostly 1800 mHz), would it be possible to use use network cell broadcasts even on another GSM baseband frequency (like Telekom, mostly 900 mHz)? (Think also the the other way round, since 1800 mHz (if available) has the advantage of having smaller cells.) To specify: would our FP check these frequencies if onyl one SIM module is active/installed, using the 'other' frequencies?

Hope to hear all of your 2cts!
[Fairphone 1] boondiordna:
Quoting myself. Answering myself. Meh.

Could it be that the initial boost of interest is ebbing?

And that everyone (except some people complaining in the fairphone.com forum) are already happy with their phone?

FTR: It works now. Oeffi (which is otherwise quite unstable and basically every other time I load a new network map) can now access my position. OSM~And is working great even without GPS, just using SSID triangulations.

It's definitely using WiFi SSID to locate the position. I haven't tried it yet (with cell data connection) in an are where there are no WiFi SSIDs.

Using Nokia's server right now:

Supl_HOST: subl.nokia.com

SUPL_SECURE_PORT=7275

(No other settings set - I assume to be using TLS only at the moment. Works great.)

I wonder if I should add this steps to the wiki.

If nobody objects here, I will.

hi to all

i have recently purchased my vario along with copilot live and im in the process of searching about for the ideal car mounting solution.

firstly, i use different vehicles so portability between vehicles is important. i dont mind if the device is dashboard or windscreen mounted, but the option of either would suit best. im looking for a vertical holder thats active, and if possible, can house the copilot gps unit too, making life that bit easier when moving from car to car and less messy. if the unit had a built in speaker too that would be a bonus.

another option im interested in is a leather/metal case that could just be clipped on to a mount when in a car - maybe with the speaker and gps unit attached.

am i asking for too much? im sure ive seen solutions for other pdas, but not for the vario so far...

also, id like to know what experiences anyone has with goosenecks - is the vibration too much, especially on the motorways? is the pda too heavy for the suction pad over time? are fixed mountings any better?

ive also seen normal car chargers and 2 amp car chargers - anyone know anything about these - are the 2 amp ones surge protectors?

this is where any recommendations or links would be helpful...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] les_garten:
The day I got my 2014 Note, I put a "Team" MicroHD card in it. The device worked fine, but a reboot got it stuck at the Samsung Logo. I played around with it and somehow it booted and I didn't think about it again till yesterday, now some months later. I just figured it was new and "glitched".

Yesterday, I did a reboot and once again stuck at the Samsung logo. I could get into recovery and Download easily. I am not rooted, all stock.

I finally saw something about SD cards, pulled my card and it rebooted. Then I restarted again, no problems.

Put he card back in and stuck at boot Logo, regular as clockwork.

so some questions:

1) Can I just pull the data off and put on a new card and everything will work fine on it? I had moved a lot of programs to the SD card.

2) Should I move the data to the device and onto the new card? I'm worried about symbolic links and such. I don't know if pulling off to a windows machine would screw up permissions and what not. Maybe that doen't matter on the card since it is FAT32 anyhow?

3) This card "works" fine once the system is up and it is inserted, anyway to fix that do you think?

Well, I'm in a much different place now.

I rooted and installed TWRP.

The SD Booster didn't help.

No matter what I did, there was one gig of data that was on the card that the OS didn't "see" properly.

This data was the data put there by the OS when I went thru and did a lot of "Move to SD Card" actions. I could see the files in Windows but not in Android by any of the Rooted FileManagers.

So I went into TWRP and wiped that disk and Formatted it. Now the system will boot with the card in and I did a Nandroid backup in TWRP to make sure it was working OK and booted with Data on it.

Hi,

I have a test setup with 2 Samsung HomeSync Boxes; each one connected to a display.

When I manually connect a Mobile to Box1, the Mobile content is mirrored to Display1.

In a second run I'd like to connect to Box2. But unfortunately a connection is automatically established to Box1 (since this was the last known connection, I guess). I have to cancel the connection process and have to select the other box. I really need to avoid this.

Is it possible to somehow avoid the automatic connection? My hope was that it would be sufficient to clear the app cache and/or data. But it didn't solve the problem. Any ideas where the information about the last connected mirroring device might be stored? By clearing this information I'd assume that I'd have to select a Box by myself.

Thanks for your help!
