[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pitbullmommy45245:
Ok so i have been researching and i'm soooo confused. I am on 4.3. I have read that i need to downgrade but doing so will hard brick my phone. I need to sim unlock it so i can use it on cincinnati bell. can somone please tell me how i can sim unlock my phone successfully? When i go into the hidden menu i have the option that says rat_free_support.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Unfortunately, nobody has yet posted a method to successfully free unlock the S3 running on 4.3. It's possible to downgrade your ROM only to 4.1.1 without downgrading the bootloader and retain full phone functionality. However, you would still not be able to free unlock as you need to be on complete stock 4.1.1, including the bootloader, to be able to free unlock. Until someone comes up with an exploit, your best options now would either be to request the unlock code from your carrier, if eligible, or purchase an unlock code online.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pitbullmommy45245:
so i got a different s3. its on 4.1.2. i'm trying to downgrade but i can't find the firmware download anywhere
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Downgrading 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 and unlocking is a breeze. You will find the Odin flashable file and downgrading instructions via the link below...

http://fortedge.com/downgrade.html
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pitbullmommy45245:
thank u so much. the file says its a rom though? do i have to root my phone. my phone is completly stock unrooted or anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
It's a zip file. You would need to download it extract all files. The file to flash via Odin is: I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5. It doesn't matter whether your phone is rooted or not. A successful flash will deliver a complete stock image. When downgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1, you may experience some error messages after reboot due to some remnants of 4.1.2 on the system. This can be resolved by doing a reset to factory settings either via recovery or from the settings menu.

when I change it to Normal, then leave the screen and return to it, it's back at High again. I tried restarting then changing, changing then restarting, installing knox then changing, uninstalling knox then changing.. I don't know what else there is to do.

anyone know how to fix this? it was at Normal when I bought it but once it was changed to High it won't go back. before changing it to High I did run a security policy update.

I think it's blocking me from installing manually downloaded apps (something is...) despite Unknown Sources being checked

Hi, I have been looking for a while now for an iPod like android device. (No cell phone service, uses wi-fi and Bluetooth, etc.) But I haven't found anything that jumps out at me. I have seen the Samsung Galaxy Players and they seem to be running very old android versions and are hard to find. I also have thought of a no-contract, cheap android phone but can't find one. Please help me out if you know of anything that could maybe fit my needs! Thanks!
[General Topics] ecparts:
I think iPod Touch 4th is very good. Why you must require it is Android system ? For Samsung, i didn't find any good devices like iPod.
[General Topics] thatdude02:
I have to agree with above ^^ I would say that any pre-paid low end phone would do just fine for the price, and I found even my Samsung Galaxy Ace had some awesome ROMs (not the greatest device but any custom ROM made it much better).

The only other possible option is a tablet, but I'm getting the feeling that portability is more what you are looking for and a 7 inch tablet isn't always the most practical to carry around. Unfortunately I don't know of any iPod style devices powered by Android other than the Galaxy Player (which flopped so there wasn't a next generation). The only possible other device for you could be the Samsung Galaxy Camera (the first gen comes in 4g enabled versions) however this device is more specifically camera oriented so I don't think that it would work well either.

Best bet is most likely a prepaid phone because most cellphones these days are replacing the need for multiple devices. Hopefully this helps and I wish you good luck.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob030:
Has anyone else noticed that the flash is really slow on 4.4.2? I used flash alerts pro since 4.4 and on 4.4 I could set the flash to blink 6 times or more in under a second. Now on 4.4.2 its more like 2-3 times. I am currently running Liquid Smooth and its the same. I tested with the torch app and no change. Anyone know why?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
Could be where the torch app was merged from. The torch app on Carbon ROM is very fast, no lag/stutter what so ever. On other ROMs however, I have noticed the latent period from the click activity and the actual flash coming on. If you check the repo where the torch was merged from, that's probably why. Many use CM yet lately, is had issues. See if any differences between the ROMs and that'll probably answer why so lagged flash.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob030:
See that's the thing. Its not just the torch app. Its every app that has a strobe setting. Its like the flash can't flash fast enough. Maybe something is different in the kernel that changed the flash rate. It worked fine on stock 4.4, but not on stock 4.4.2. Weird........
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
The torch app is the cause, it's been reported a lot. With a faulty torch app, as I've read across many boards, the flash "happens to early in camera" or "not working" or "laggy". The flash rate, in your case, is probably due to this as well. With new merged torch from either CM or other sources lately, there has been A LOT of reports against it working/misfunction. What I can say is, try flash another ROM that works (could try Carbon ROM) and test the flash/strobing effects. If it works on that ROM, then it's the liquid smooth ROM/torch. If not, then it's the phone. But I looked into liquid smooth before but lately, they've had problems, one being the torch app.

http://youtu.be/QvkN6x0Dto0
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
I see what you're saying, flash is slower. The reason, being on custom ROM and that the updates to Kitkat have been battery drain and camera issues are probably causing you the issue. The update to 4.4.2 probably caused the problem because of upgrades to camera/torch files. As before, if test another ROM quick and see if issue persist. If so, then it's 4.4.2 and, if not, then it was ROM related. Only reasons and change.

1. Some apps lock the rotation. It is probably a feature of those apps and not an issue with your tablet.

2. Probably you have an app or a background service running, that won't let it sleep. Install a battery monitor and let it run for a while, then it should report, what app is keeping Android awake.

So I've been having the famous No connection error on Play Store for a few months now and really want to fix it. I've read all threads on this topic and watched all tutorials. The one thing everyone seems to be saying works is deleting the hosts file from the etc folder which is the one thing I can't seem to do.

My phone is N5 and it's rooted through CF. I use Total Commander as my file manager but it won't let me delete the file even though Total Commander has root privileges. The permissions of the hosts file are set to r/w under user but read only for group and world. Again it won't let me set it to read write for the other two. I've also tried doing this through ES explorer but it's the same thing. Can anyone please recommend a way to delete the file successfully?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:

I just updated to 4.6.16 today but it made no difference. The no connection error still persists.

Regarding the permissions though it seems to be a problem on a higher level as I've tried three different file managers (ES Explorer, Total Commander and Root Explorer) and none of them let me delete the hosts file. Any idea where else the problem could be?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xismo1:
I haven't, guess I could give it a shot but do you think there would be any difference? I'd be effectively doing the same thing manually that the file managers are trying to do. And they're failing at it.

When I try to remount the system folder in total commander it gives me a remount error so I'm wondering if it could be successful through shell.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
I'm not sure what's wrong here, but there is a posibility you lost your root (dirty flashed and update or something) so you could try that. You can also try flashing supersu and see if that helps. That normally solves my root problems.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xismo1:
I was actually thinking that I may have lost root as well, but then I have a volume mod flashed and that still works fine, though not sure if that would be effected when already flashed. I haven't done any updates though so not really sure how that could happen. Is there any way to test whether I still have root for sure?

Oh and I already have SuperSU Pro, flashed that a few months ago.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xismo1:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
get rid of total commander, its garbage. get root explorer. also, youll probably have to flash the latest supersu, since you flash a few months ago. i know they updated their su binaries a few times in the last few months. you have to keep stuff like that current.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xismo1:
Fair enough. I actually just got the latest root explorer and was finally able to delete the hosts file only to find out that it doesn't actually solve the play store problem. What options do I have left? Factory recovery?

factory reset is an option, as well as flashing the factory img.
