[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert.lagrasse:
Hello!

I'm having issues getting wifi/hotspot tethering to work when pointing the Note II toward a non-standard APN.

Current environment:

Note II devices on T-Mobile US. Provisioning on the T-Mobile side allows access to the B2B APN, as opposed to the standard fast/epc APN the device normally comes configured to access. Turning B2B APN provisioning on actually disables access to the standard fast.t-mobile.com APN for native data, and the PCWEB APN for tethered connections. On the B2B APN, data originating on the device itself works just fine, but devices tethered to the Note II are not able to access the internet.

Wi-Fi connected PC receives an IP address of 192.168.43.16 (standard setup from Samsung), so the device is firing up the hotspot and handing out DHCP addresses. Network trace from T-Mobile shows 192.168.43.16 as the source address of the session, rather than showing the carrier address being handed to the phone. In short, it looks like the native tethering application is failing to NAT the session when pointed at the b2b.tmobile.com APN.

This is a rooted device with a custom ROM, so I side-loaded the WiFi Tether application. After some tweaks, I got tethering to work using the following options:

Device Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

Setup Method: Netd-Ndc (master)

Set Netd Max Client Cmd (checked)

Wireless driver reload (checked)

Wireless driver reload 2 (checked)

Enable routing-fix (checked)

So, is there a way to tweak the settings in the native tethering function on the device to get the NAT to behave properly? Customer does not want to push the .apk for WiFi tether out to the devices in the field as the application requires root access and configuration. Entire install base of devices is custom ROM, and SOTI managed. If there is a way to easily push the app and config out to the devices, and have a push button wifi tethering experience for the end users, I might be able to convince them to go that route.

Your thoughts are appreciated!

Hi there,

last night i try to flash CyanMobileX rom in my wildfire s-on .

I follow these steps

-Download The Rom

-Wipe ALL

-Flash The Rom

-Reboot From Recovery

-Now Wait for 3-4 Minutes

-Rom Will Not Boot

-Now Remove Battery

-Reinsert Battery

-Now Start The Phone

-It will Boot up Now

the problem is that the phone not boot, stays at the white screen with green HTC logo, also, when I press [Volume key] + [power on] (for recovery) the phone vibrates three times, turn on the green LED and the display stays off.

Can somebody help to un-brick ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hi :) have you tried to flash the boot.IMG via fastboot after the ROM flash? Its sometimes required with s-on devices. Also did you perform will wipes before flashing the ROM?

Lastly can you use volume down + power to boot into hboot mode? Can you post hboot details?

Hi!

Im using TWRP as my custom recovery and I did a backup for all my apps because I wanted to do a clean install of a rom. Im now with the new rom installed and anything on the phone and I want to restore the data using the backup (I saved it to the computer before flashing).

My problem is that TWRP doesn't recognize the backup. I've placed it in TWRP > BACKUPS > Folder (it was there when I pulled it to my pc) but it seems to be the wrong place (I suppose it is on storage/0/TWRP/BACKUPS). I can't move the backup there.

How can I make my backup recognizable by TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] addisonite:
I've searched for the answer for this, but found nothing...I apologize in advance if this has already been asked.

I have a Verizon Note 3 with a Tmobile SIM/Service, and would like to use the wifi calling/UMA feature that T-Mobile offers. In my office the network coverage is non-existent for all carriers, but there is wifi access. I can get online fine, but can't send a text or make calls. From what I understand Verizon has this feature blocked (or non-existent), Can I flash a T-Mobile ROM to activate this feature, or if I install a developer ROM, will this feature be available?

Thanks for any input!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
your phone does not have the hardware to do WiFi calling. Only a T-Mobile phone will.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atlzonly89:
I believe tmobile is the only company that has wifi calling....tried to switch to verizon a few months back, and i asked them about the wifi calling if they had it there reply: "we are sorry, but our network is far more reliable then as of tmobile, and hence we dont need wifi calling" lol. so yeah, its not blocked, they just dont have the right hardware in place and even if they do, they wont be anywhere near tmobile...hope that made sense, kinda typing this while falling asleep

[HTC One Mini] androiduserfan2:
Hi all!

I want to change the ROM of my HTC One Mini (currently 4.4.2 Stock, Bootloader unlocked, rooted) for install something more light and fast.

In my HTC sometimes i can see lags even in the home screen, moving from a page to another.

And i also have a big battery drain, even without 3rd party apps that consume battery. Currently i'm using only 2G (i locked 3G) and i turned off the backlights of buttons to save some energy, disabled apps like facebook etc, low brightness...but if i disconnect it from the current at 8 am he will have 50-40% at 4pm with a medium/low usage.

So, returning to my question, which is the better ROM for me?
[HTC One Mini] androiduserfan2:
No one?

No one can help me? :(
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
I've only used the stock based roms on here, not cm11 or other. But from my experience I found stock 4.3 to be the best in speed and battery. The main thing to do if your rooted is to delete system apps you don't use. Do some research on what's good or not to remove. Apps like Greenify can help. Personally I don't think you battery results are that bad. As long as you can reach the end of the day without charging your doing ok. Can't see another Rom giving you double battery life.
[HTC One Mini] androiduserfan2:
Ok

I will try stock 4.3 so!

thanks ;)
[HTC One Mini] Deleted member 5700696:
I've got one mini for 5 months now and belive me i tried a bunch of roms. Right now i am on 4.4.2 sense 6 rom, which works perfect except whatsapp issue (you need exactly 2.11.226 version to work) and there is no "show recent apps" when you double tap home button, but that can also be solved with app called "swipe home button''. That is if you want to stick with stock based roms and sense, but get something new.

You could also try cyanogenmod, but as its still nightly i've expirienced some bugs, and found the "Codename Lungo" better working, which is also based on cm11.

In my opinion these cm based roms could help with your battery drain but they certainly have more bugs that stock based ones.

If you feel like experimenting, you could try this new pacman rom, i havent tried it yet. Anyway here are the links to threads:

[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
Hey all,

I attached my gmail account to the gmail app in my rooted nook. Now, I'm finding that I'm eating a lot more battery life than I used to. I'm guessing it has to do with the work of syncing the google mail. The problem, is that in the app, whenever I get into the settings area for controlling the account, the nook reboots. I'm not sure why.

I'd love to disable the gmail app or otherwise keep it from updating, but I can't get at it from any menus on the device. I was thinking ADB, but I'm open to other ideas.

AN IMPORTANT POINT: I don't want to remove my google account from the device, because I'm loading apps via the Market that way. I just want to stop the gmail mail account app from eating my battery through it's activity!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Something is fishy about that Gmail installation. Maybe try reinstalling the app? Or if you used the GappsAttack (or whatever), just redo that.

Failing that, you can disable the apps (as I did when Gmail kept failing to send mail without deleting the accounts and adding them anew--a known issue with older versions of the app) by renaming the apk files as .old or .bak or something. To do that you will need a Root Browser of some sort (like the free app of the same name). Then go to system/app and there rename Gmail.apk and GmailProvider.apk

When I was using Gmail I had it set to check "never", meaning I could check manually when I wanted. Now that I am using the Email.apk provided by NFHimself here I have it set the same way and it works great--all the time.

[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
How much time do you have? No, seriously. There's broken/inconsistent BT issues, build quality issues, water resistance issues, buggy firmware, security issues, bloatware, mic issues, "official specs" are wrong on a number of things..... This isn't coming from some guy with one Omate but five.

Not going to comment on the Samsung or Neptune as I have not used either.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
That is good to know. I will wait to see how the early adopters fair with the Pine before making a decision.
[Other SmartWatches] Smockingjacket:
How much of this does your patch fix? Can it also be applied to the EU version?

I must side with Loki on this. I bought the Omate and while it is nice it really does feel like it is still in beta design and functionality wise. It has some really strange software and design choices. Prime example is the volume on the device doesn't work like you expect, and you actually need a third party app to get it to work reasonably.

I also found out the default music player is absolutely useless if, like me, you listen to music via folder rather than artist. I had to download a app to get around this issue too.

The default keyboard doesn't always work when using apps. This is most annoying when entering passwords.

Don't get me wrong, I love the device and the potential, but.... I feel it will never reach it now. It seems Omate have annoyed too many people and many good devs like Loki have jumped ship. Until Omate get there act into gear I am concerned about how long the Omate platform will be around.

At the very lease, if you go Samsung you can get your watch fixed.

Hey guys, my after trying to flash a rom, my g2 soft bricked. I can get into download mode, but cannot get the lg software to work properly. This is what happens.

I enable windows enabler

Open Uptestex

Make sure everything matches the guide I'm using i.e. "diag" and 3cqt

Click normal web test upgrade

My computer then loads LG mobile support tool and never asks me for anything about a language or a country.

What am I doing wrong?

Clicking Read phone information does not work either.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
First you have to install the drivers.

Then run the B2CAppSetup.exe (make sure hosts file is untouched, if there is 127.0.0.1 lg..blabla.. then you should put a "#" in front of it, for example #127.0.0.1 lg..blabla...)

Let it install..

Then navigate to c:\programdata\lgemobileax (delete the folder contents), replace the contents with the one you've downloaded.

start http.exe

start window enabler, click on it in systray so the OK flag is shown.

type cmd in searchbox of win7, right click, run as admin..

type copy c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts c:\hosts

type echo 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com >> c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe

select 3cqt... and EMERGENCY..

normal upgrade..

clear the phone cache...

select other country..and that's pretty much it..

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] migueldias94:
I'm gonna buy it as soon as it is available, having the same battery that powers a QHD screen, even if it's only 200mAh more, that could give my 7a an incredible battery life, we'll see.

I'll buy 2, if a spare battery charger is available, and definitely the F7 carbon battery cover also!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] CollinFX45:
This is great news.

It does make me wonder, though, just how much Oppo saved dropping 200mah off our batteries. Maybe it was just a little something to justify the extra cost of the 7 over the 7a, but sheesh, I wish they just made the batteries the same for both!

So, you think it will be possible to get the carbon back for the 7a when the 7 comes out? I have heard that the bigger battery was going to be available, but I thought the carbon back only was available if you buy the find 7.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] uppon2:
I don't think it saved them much at all to be honest. It would have had nothing to do with cost. It is purely for marketing purposes. As soon as people see the QHD version with a larger battery it would push some of the sceptical people over the line for using a more power hungry screen; not that many of them will be swayed, it would definitely appeal to a wider audience if that was not the case.

If they included a 3300+ mAh battery in the QHD model it would certainly have swayed a lot more, but I doubt that was the focus at all. It's just an extra feather in the cap for the users that want "the best"

I haven't seen an OEM 3000ma for sale. If it's that bad for you, have thou considered carrying a second 2800ma battery? I used to do that with my OG Note.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] znarf2369:
I actually HAVE a second one, but I dont like to change the battery every time for multiple reasons:

1. You have to shut down the device.

2. You have to open the back and replace the battery and in my oppinion, this kind of "tears" the back..

3. You have to carry around the second battery somewhere.

4. Step 1 and 2 took time (yeah okay, maybe just a minute, but its still more than having a bigger battery with no need to change and so no changing time^^)

Dont get me wrong, it is a viable option for some people, but unfortunately not for me.. ):
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Pick_A_Name:
Understood. I'm not sure how much extra you'll get from a 3000ma. What ROM are you using? Have you updated your radio? Are you using greenify? Have you used betterbatterstats app to see if you have any wake lock issues?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] znarf2369:
Currently I am using CM M8. But I heard, that Omni is the best you can get at the moment when it comes to battery, but I dont want a kind of outdated (last was July 1st) version so at least I have to wait for a new version..

Where can I update my radio?

And I dont use any battery apps because there is in my oppinion no need for this. I use only a few apps that I really need and have everything (even mobile data) always switched off and only switch it on when I needed so I dont need an app for that which then might use more energy than it would safe.

According to wakelock detector, I dont have any wakelock issues. (;

As far as the betterbatterystats app goes, it doesn't use battery until you run it. It looks through logs and will give you info on apps or services that are keeping your phone from getting into deep sleep state. It isn't one of those power saving apps. It's informational. And the XDA thread is full of very helpful people.

Personally I have no problems with CM, but I'm on the 7a version of the phone. I've been using nightlies since 6/22 without problem.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] znarf2369:
I have the 7a version as well.

The thing is: I got an OnePlus One and gave it to a friend because I need LTE Band 20.

Then I asked him how it goes and he told me that the battery life is outstanding. He gets over 5h SOT with 20h of usage and still 30% left.

I was confused because I thought that the OPO and the Find 7a are almost the same devices but the OPO has a bigger battery. So I thought this might me the "gamechanging" point. This is why I think there should be much more possible in facts of battery life for the Find 7a.

Do you understand what I mean? ;)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Pick_A_Name:
It's difficult to compare. Do you use the same apps? Are you playing games (which take more juice than checking email)? Are you using the same brightness level? There's a lot of variables.

Also I reiterate my Greenify app suggestion. It keeps apps from starting on their own when you start your device, but allows them to start when you want them to.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] spiritedwithin:
I would like to know how much longer is the the 3000 battery as compared to 2800 on average usage? Since it can be use in either of the devices.

I guess only those who own both the devices will be able to tell. I can't find any of such comparison on XDA or Google. It will be good to know that it extend by 2 hours or more. With such a knowledge, the find 7a with the 3000 battery might have a very impressive battery.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] spiritedwithin:
Agree that it's just 10% more. But if it enables 20 more mins of screen on time with addition 1 hour of standby time. It will certainly makes it very attractive to get the 3000 mha battery. Don't you think? That extra mins of travelling before you can get to use the awesome vooc.

So I wonder if there are some statistic of how much longer it does provide. :)
