[AT&T HTC One (M7)] russian392:
how can i unlock the htc one without the simcard?

I have the phone, and the bootloader is unlocked and s-off running twrp (android version 4.4.2)

Is it even possible to do it without the simcard? i mean i know its been done on other phones with out the use of an unlock code.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Solarenemy68:
If the bootloader shows to be unlocked, then the phone is unlocked? Now if you want to unlock the SIM, then you will need the SIM from the other provider otherwise the phone will not ask you to enter the unlock code. There is no other way to get it to ask for a SIM code.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EnzoS.:
Keep getting a popup warning every morning when we turn on our Note 8.0 then start the wi-fi that says: "An update is required to access Samsung services". So far we've answered "No" each time the warning is displayed until I find out what they want to update and just how much extra data will be deposited onto the tab if we allow it.

Yeah...I'm paranoid but the fact is, we don't use any Samsung services. I'd really like to turn the Samsung account OFF if that's a safe thing to do.

What do you say Note 8.0/Android community? Should I allow the update or would turning off the Samsung account stop the update notices???

EnzoS
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Harjan112:
I believe you can turn off the account, as a fact I have mine turned off and whenever I re-flash a new Rom either Stock or Custom I always say No to the Samsung account, but you can remove/delete your Samsung account by going here https://account.samsung.com/membership/service/getServieInfoList.do sign in, profile, remove account.

On your tablet it will still show Samsung account and you will notice that it cannot sync "sync error" when you click that it will try to sync and will fail, after that the Samsung account will be gone or if you do see "remove account" just remove it with that.

I will include a picture of the services that will be stopped.

Hoping this helps :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Another U break it by disabling it thread... I see this all the time with peeps disabling features in MS Windows.

I use Samsung account to get the latest Samsung updates. Without your updates, your link, OS update, and most of all Miracast sync will not properly function. As there are bug fixes and added features.

I even have Google play store setup to be automated with updates as well. It is the only way to track the 200 or so downloaded apps being fixed and what not. Still waiting for 100% compatibility for Android 4.4.x... which may never be. HA!

Though I use dummy a google email account that are setup with features disabled. Google has buried a lot of user settings, but at least you have them to disable.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Harjan112:
[MENTION=3105344]gooberdude[/MENTION] you telling us that if you don't setup the Samsung account you will NOT get an OS update? I find that strange cause as I said before I never set it up and still was getting my OS updates when I checked for updates, now of course after I Root the device with either CF-root or "the always mentioned by you" Saferoot, it will say that my device is modified and that there are no updates available.

I really don't see the point of a Samsung account and feel that Samsung is wasting resources/battery with constant syncing in trying to duplicate stuff (calendar, email, app store, etc) by putting an additional and IMHO unnecessary layer into the OS that Google already does.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
I use saferoot and it does not show device is modified, because it is not flashed. Many root options require flashing, saferoot does not. So the flag is left alone.

Now for Samsung apps, you must have an account to use half of them. So if you are not using any Samsung apps, then don't bother with making an account.

I think you can still use the Samsung voice commander without an account... as it is at least 2x faster than Google and works just the same.

Its all up to you on what you want to do for getting updates. For me I get 3% battery drain every 12 hours when in sleep mode with WIFI enabled. Including having updates and email active. That is too small to think about disabling accounts or turning off sync and updates.

It seems too many Android peeps tweak things so much that they are paranoid by not doing enough. I am a minimalist. I do what I can with what I got, and find what is the issue before modifying, adding or removing stuff. I have found that Samsung and Google can interact well with each other to make operation of the tablet quick and stable. Though, Google needs to work more on getting things right with voice search and media player.

At least Samsung has addressed and fixed many wee issues with proper updates since January and March. Just waiting for 4.4.x to be released so I have that available when I want to upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Harjan112:
[MENTION=3105344]gooberdude[/MENTION] don't hear me wrong, I am completely with you as far as the paranoia goes, I myself am a firm believer of Stock Rom with minimal tweaks, when it comes to updates I always check manually, I use the tablet mostly for reading my ebooks and occasional web browsing, email and getting good battery life, right now I'm at 2 days and 6 hours with 32% left, of course I enable my wifi when I need it.

I actually did send you a PM a few days ago asking about safe-root, don't know if you have seen or gotten that or not, I would like to start using safe-root to it full potential :)

Thank you, I will give it another try later today :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EnzoS.:
Thanks guys for the comments and recommendations but perhaps I didn't make myself totally clear in the initial posting. I'd simply like to know if I can avoid being bothered to update my account or apps or whatever by turning off the Samsung account on the tablet. I don't have to (nor do I want to) delete the Samsung account entirely. I just want to take it off the tablet (turn it off/disable it) with hopes that the popups warning me that "An update is required to access Samsung services" will go away.

As I stated earlier, we don't use any Samsung services and don't even download any apps from the Samsung apps store. As Harjan112 said: "...Samsung is wasting resources/battery with constant syncing in trying to duplicate stuff (calendar, email, app store, etc) by putting an additional and IMHO unnecessary layer into the OS that Google already does." We also are quite minimalistic and are very happy to run the tab with as little as possible running in the background and only update what we use if absolutely necessary.

Your comments in this regard will be appreciated.

EnzoS
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Harjan112:
You can remove the account from the tablet without deleting it entirely.

Go to your settings... Accounts... Click Samsung account then on the right side of the screen you will see Accounts with your email address click that, then in the top right corner you should see remove account.

This also should stop the update notice.

Hoping this helps :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EnzoS.:
Harjan112...thank you very much for the detailed information. I needed to be assured that removing the Samsung account from the Note 8.0 was the right way to go and your explanation seems to be right on the money. The tab is my wife's and I don't think she would appreciate it too much if I decided to root the thing and experiment on it in any way (ha).

Now if I could only get an answer to my other problem: the Gallery's data file bloating itself for no apparent reason every time the tab is turned on or rebooted. It's pretty strange that (so far) 118 people have viewed the posting but not one reply...not even a foolish recommendation (ha).

Thank you again. I will definitely give it a try now.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Harjan112:
Lol... where exactly did you ask that question :confused: Are you sure it was in this thread :eek:

Anywho what do you mean by bloating? As in let say book covers for ebooks or album art for music or web albums?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] EnzoS.:
Thank you for your interest in my "other" problem. I did indeed post my question in the Galaxy Note 8.0 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting thread as: "GN8 Gallery data eating up drive space" back on the 1st of March. I thought I was fairly clear on the description and I would appreciate it if you would check it out. I'd be more than happy if you had questions for me as I'm baffled by what's happening. Please read my post.

Ah, well we did not follow your past question... I found with my antivirus app, that I get over 350MB of cached images just with my mp3 ID3 tags having album art.

I found that if you install Xposed framework and add the Wanam Xposed module, you have he ability to disable caching of images. Since disabling, I get zero cache. As for clearing the cache, you will either add a cleaner app or replace your antivirus with one that has built in added utilities.

Though one thing about disabling cache, you will notice slower image redraws with any images that are stored on slow SD cards. I have 633x UHS-1 SD card installed, and do not find images having issues with delayed image redraws from SD.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 General] bryce007:
Hi,

I am having difficulty getting something I would think easy to work on my Nexus for my car install.

I was wondering how people are getting tasker tasks to be triggered off keyboard hotkeys when using either their Joycon or a standard external keyboard.

It seems from research the way to do this used to be quick launch shortcuts (assigning search key + a letter) to an app or shortcut but it seems these do not work for me in android 4.4?

External keyboard helper lets you launch applications from hotkeys, but seems to give no way of launching tasker tasks.

This is really doing my head in! From youtube it looks like others have no issues doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Nexus 7 General] aarongillion63:
Well, the only thing I can think of right now is to use a Tasker Scene with a focused textbox to detect the keys. You will have to run this scene as a dialog, and deal with all the complications with that... (touch disabled outside of dialog, etc) but here's another idea.

You could use a mobile bluetooth keyboard (or any keyboard that has volume/brightness keys) and have a Tasker profile pick up a change in the ringer volume variable, this would give you 2 or 3 hotkeys (vol up, down, or mute). If you don't have a keyboard like that you could edit the Android keymappings under /system/usr/keylayout/General.kl to incorporate volume changes under some key.
[Nexus 7 General] bryce007:
Good idea with detecting the variable changes! I'm using an Arduino Micro which emulates a keyboard so I will have no problem emulating them via buttons & changing the keyboard layout kl if nessesary. Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] Thommy300:
I am currently working on the same topic: Here is my workaround for trigger a task with an external bluetooth keyboard.

create a task in Tasker

create an app of this task with Tasker App Factory

remap a key of the keyboard to the new app with External Keyboard Helper

Finish

Maybe this is helpful

[Nexus 7 General] Lokifish Marz:
What are you trying to accomplish?
[Nexus 7 General] Thommy300:
1. With a bluetooth remote (Satechi BT MediaRemote) i want to switch between the homescreen by pushing a key. (launcher nova and tasker secure settings are necessary)

2. a tasker scenes (dialog) with different options should open by pushing another key. Navigation in the scene should do also with the Bluetooth remote (not yet finish).

The goal is an intuitive handling of the tablet ui in the car with less touch-input on the screen. Something like Audi MMI or BMW idrive.

In my opinion to find icon on the homescreen while driving is difficult.
[Nexus 7 General] Lokifish Marz:
Here is my current set up.

Nexus 7 (In dash)

Center console mounted volume dial with push to mute (Tablet>dial>amp)

(Not shown in the screencap is that the media widget is also in the Navbar and accessed via a softkey in the navbar)

The console dial was initially a USB 5 button mouse with key remapping but required the amp gain be cranked up which caused issues.

Now for full control you need the following;

(Some of these things can be eliminated with voice controls)

Media Control (Previous, Play/Pause, Next, Playlist, etc.)

Directional controls (Up, Down, Left, Right)

Action Controls (Select, Home, Back, Recent, Menu)

Phone Control (Answer, Hangup, Dialpad)

SMS Control (Full KB or voice to text using a noise canceling mic)

If you skip voice control and you don't count the dialpad or KB, you need 15 buttons or adaptive input based on what app is running but still need at least 5-6 buttons. I am not sure how involved implementation of adaptive input would be as I gave up after days of trying to get it just right.

With the Satechi BT MediaRemote, you can cover most of this by key remapping but have to remember what keys are what. The advantage of proper key remapping is that it removes the need for additional apps to get it to work.

Seeing that I'm not sure how complete of a setup you are trying to get, it's hard to offer anymore advice.

I know about the stupid KNOX counter that came with my S4(Sprint).I don't plan on breaking my phone and don't care about my warranty. All the android phones i have had before my S4 i have rooted and installed custom ROMS. I it voided the warranty and I took the risk and did it any ways. I also didn't know about Triangle Away until recently. That just goes to show i didn't care about warranties. .

With this KNOX security in the bootloader , I'm not so sure about rooting and installing custom ROMs. Not because of it voiding my warranty but will it get in the way of me installing custom recoveries and ROMs. I don't care if i trip the KNOX counter to 0x1.

Hi all

I have an ATT version of the Note3 running Android 4.3 on Baseband N900AUCUBNB4 - rooted of course.

I have a Sony Dual Shock 3 controller linked through bluetooth via the Sixaxis Controller app and I'm trying to use the controller to play Grand theft auto San Andreas. So far I've gotten it to work, but there is a massive delay when using any button except for the analogue sticks. I've googled this and searched the forums but can't find any information leading to a resolution. All the buttons work, but there is a big delay in the game.

Anybody know how to resolve this issue?

edit:

Issue also exists with mupen64 application. Controller is brand new and never tested anywhere but on this phone... Also I noticed if I disable the native gamepad option in the sixaxis app there is no lag, but then none of the buttons work...

I take no credit for this mod at all. I'm just passing on the information I stumbled upon. In this article, it shows you how to modify two lines in the build prop and it converts the UI to the Galaxy S5. I did it and it works fine. I couldn't believe how easy it was. Just change the model number to SM-900S and that's it. The link is provided and that's where I got the info from. One downside I detected is the Google Now shortcut when long pressing the Home Button isn't there. Just a FYI.
