[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyler2265:
I have a Motorola DROID RAZR Maxx HD and i use wifi tethering on it alot. Sometimes, when ive had my phone in airplane mode, and then take it out, it takes a long time for the tethering to come on even when i have service. So for example, ill have my phone in airplane mode, take it out, get 4G, and it still takes up to a minute or so for the "Checking Subscription Status" box to come up.

I also have the above problem when either A) I turn the wifi tethering on and it turns on but then turns back off (Need help with that problem to) Or B) I turn my WiFi tethering off and then try to turn it back on.

I also would like to note that i use GO Power Master with the PRO Version key. I use screen off optimization, and have most of the system settings checked off so they wont turn them off, but its still slow.

So my question is, what all processes go into the WiFi tethering and how can i fix the problem. Im also unrooted.

[Android General] Lord AJ:
Hi everybody.

Today I present here a Samsung s3 like lockscreen replacement which will actually replace your default lockscreen and you'll never need to launch that app after a reboot to activate it (I know its too annoying :-\ )

HERE I WANT TO MENTION THAT I HAVEN'T CREATED THIS APP. I'M ONLY SHARING IT HERE

This, let me tell u, is the BEST lockscreen out there to get you rid of that default one. Also this doesn't consume your ram as go locker and others do so you won't sacrifice performance for beauty. What else could you want !!!!

Here's how to go about it :-

1. Download the apk file from the attachments.

2. Install the apk as a system app (IF U DONT KNOW HOW TO then first install it as user app and then use titanium backurp to convert it to a system app )

3. After the installation long touch on ur desktop.

4. Choose the following - Shortcuts>Activities>Touch the name "unlock screen">Choose the second activity.

5. Touch the icon that just appeared and first enable the lockscreen.

6. Now choose the Set sceen lock option and choose swipe.

7. Now u can change wallpapers and shortcuts to be shown on the lockscreen as u wish.

Although there aren't many features here but this lockscreen is permanent and will not affect performance at all.

Congrats !!!! You've just set up your phone's lockscreen to be completely like Samsung GS3.

Whenever you want to disable the lockscreen or uninstall the app all u need to for is disable the screen from the settings of the app and then uninstall.

If u have any queries, post them here and I'll answer u as soon as possible.

I have also attached some screenshots for u to see if you're unable to understand anything. Also if you like the app then post it here and rate the thread well. (I can't force you to thank me but if you liked the app then why not ;) )

ENJOY THE BEAUTY.........

DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF THIS HELPED YOU
[Android General] 17viper17:
I've installed it as system app but when I long-press my desktop there is no "Activities" option under "shortcuts". :crying:

Edit: I've managed to get it working by downloading a shortcut creator app from the playstore. It's nice but I stick to my default lockscreen because of two things:

1. The app still shows under my running applications consuming around 2-6mb of RAM acceptable but;

2. It does not have notifications for unread sms and missed calls?

Thanks still.
[Android General] Lord AJ:
Thanks for trying the app. The problem is that I didn't write the code so I can't really help that shortcut issue. Anyway I'm trying to find a workaround so maybe this'll be fixed soon.
[Android General] Lord AJ:
Hi, I just tried giving a missed call to my phone and found that it does show a notification which is a semi-transparent round icon at the centre of the screen. Also u can add a shortcut to the call log app for direct access to missed calls and a message icon for messages.
[Android General] 17viper17:
Hi can you help me again? I uninstalled this app without deactivating it as device administrator, it went well except for a few expected forced closes which was easily resolved by rebooting my device. A few days after I wanted to give this app another shot, installed it as system app but when I try to create a shortcut I only have one activity to choose from that is "settings". It still activates as my locker but I wanted it to be a device administrator again. By not being a device admin my default locker shows up for while during boot-up until the app loads and takes over the lock. When it as installed as a device admin it was instant upon boot. Hope you can help solve my problem which is primarily why doesn't it show up among the device administrator choices anymore?
[Android General] Lord AJ:
Hello. This app (being installed as a system app) doesnt need to be a system administrator. Also you can't install an app that has the status of system administrator without disabling it. Therefore I assume that you've missed something in the description. As or the problem of the other locker app taking over, the simplest solution would be to uninstall that app. Post again here if this didn't solve the issue.
[Android General] 17viper17:
Hello, thanks for the reply. After days of having this app as my default lockscreen, my "complaints" are probably not worth it (especially the device administrator thingy ^^). It's working flawlessly, default lock is not showing up anymore. So it stays as my default lockscreen. And by the way there is a missed SMS notification after all. Again thank you! :good:
[Android General] Lord AJ:
Glad that I could be of help. Hope you have a nice experience with this locker. As for those "complaints", well they were just some doubts that anybody would've got ;)

Enjoy .....

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
Hiya.

Recently bought a genuine UK SIM-free/unlocked HTC One (M7) online. Noticed that the Android OS is still stuck to 4.3.

I thought Android 4.4.2 is now available to UK customers for unlocked handsets? And what are the improvements to the phone?

Please advice. Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiraYahiroz:
Use this app to check your CID: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tritonsoft.cidgetter

What CID does it say? For UK unbranded, unlocked handsets it's HTC__001. I got the update just fine.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
My CID is : VODAP001. That seems to suggest it is originally a Vodaphone-locked device but it has been unlocked since.

My i know what's my next move?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAM_1994:
Same here, I'm from Croatia and have T-Mobile De version, but still can't update.

I've contacted HTC and they removed 4.4.2. update in some places. They'll roll it out again later, probably with Sense 6. We'll have to be patient until then

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

But still, call HTC support for UK and let them check your phone (by IMEI) and tell you if you have the "good" version
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiraYahiroz:
Reason why both of you don't have the update yet is because your CID and software is locked to the previous carrier, meaning it's up to them to release the update, not HTC.

This will wipe your phone, but it will unbrand your phone if you follow it correctly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358738

This basically flashes the unbranded version of the ROM and changing the CID to one that HTC does support, so you'll get updates directly from HTC instead of the carrier.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
Sorry but right now i'm not prepared to unbrand the phone as it seems to me its too much of a long & winding process. Seeing the link seems too technical for me.

What i have done instead is ring HTC. Gave them the serial number of the phone and they told me that it IS Vodafone-branded phone. They adviced me to contact Vodafone which i did. The Vodafone support person doesn't seem to have a clue to what i'm saying and seems not familiar to how updates are released. He kept on insisting (based on the circumstances i have presented to him|) that Vodafone has nothing to do with updates. Person sounded stupid really.

I tried a Three and an EE SIM card on the One M7 and it works. So far no updates yet.

I can also confirm that being an unlocked phone it has NO Vodafone branding or logo or apps or bloatware on the phone itself.

So, i'm stuck with a year old phone with a old-gen Android OS.

So...what's next please?

According to this, every KitKat with Sense 5.5 for One is out. But as I said, some carriers removed the update. Also, some carriers have already released Sense 6. I hope that we'll see direct update to Sense 6 in a month or two
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
Sorry but the ,link you have given me wasn't very helpful as i'm living in the UK.

Still, i feel not confident with what information/advice HTC and Vodafone has given me as i feel i have been passed around.

What i need to know is what i need to do with my phone as regards updates? (see my previous reply)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb_guy:
To install OTA updates, your phone MUST be stock (ROM and recovery)

sim unlocked or bootloader unlocked is OK
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
I have explained many times that my phone is unlocked & SIM free albeit being Vodafone-branded.

So, it still doesn't answer my question: why no Android 4.4.2 for my phone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAM_1994:
I've read an article that One is getting Sense 6 update today! (for unlocked devices). My is branded to T-Mobile, but I hope that I'll get the update until the end of the month
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiraYahiroz:
Because the software is still modified slightly by Vodafone. You may have the phone network unlocked but it doesn't mean it's software unbranded. It's still up to Vodafone to update it. To be honest, this sounds more like a second hand handset instead, perhaps the original owner got it for free from an upgrade, unlocked it, and then sold it on as he was probably using another phone.

Vodafone customer support won't know anything, they're not taught anything technical, only the network side of things, which is why they can't answer you.

Honestly, you should just unlock and S-OFF the phone, and change it to a proper unbranded model if you want to get the latest updates from HTC.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
But why should i get the phone unlocked as its already unlocked in the first place as i'm able to put an SIM on it?

And what do you mean by S-OFF? Is that term called "debranding?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiraYahiroz:
When I mean unlock, I mean bootloader unlocking, which is different from network unlocking and allows you to flash other ROMs.

S-OFF allows you to change the CID, which is needed if you want to receive updates for another version of the HTC One, such as the unbranded version.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
I have four years of owning and using an Android phone. Never been a developer or have IT skills or been into rooting phones. I consider myself somewhere above an intermediate user and under expert level.

So, it easy to unlock the bootloader and S-OFF my HTC One M7?

WIll it almost guarantee me i'll still be able to receive the Android 4.4.2 update and (perhaps) beyond?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAM_1994:
I've rooted and s-off every phone, but few months after purchase, when I got bored with stock.

If you are doing this for the first time, even though you have good tutorials, it still won't be easy for you. I don't know anything about rooting M7 because I have it for a week, but it probably isn't so easy as it looks like, and it will take you few hours to do it (maybe days if you screw something).

If you unbrand your phone than yes, you will definitely be able to update to 4.4.2. But you need to know that if you do that, you will void your warranty for an almost new phone.

My recommendation: since I've seen that Sense 6 is already out for some carriers in US, it will probably be available in the Europe soon. So be patient and wait for a few weeks, and you'll probably receive direct update to 4.4.2 and Sense 6.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Here's the UK site: http://www.htc.com/uk/go/htc-software-updates/

and according to this: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/HTC-One-series/HTC-One-Android-4-4-KitKat/m-p/1943764

4.19.161.10 was released in Feb

Maybe if you search you can find the OTA file somewhere on the net and apply it manually, or check with vodafone, why you're not receiving it.

Cheers
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAM_1994:
I just want to inform you that I've received 4.4.2 update today. But Sense 5.5, not 6.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
But that's Sense 6.0. NOT Android 4.4.2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] edwmsjr:
The Official Release of KitKat 4.4.2 (NC4) for the Verizon Note 3 (SM-N900V) is now available and the official change log is

HERE

. However, that is the change log details changes from 4.3 to 4.4.2(NC4).

As someone who installed Beans pre-rooted version of the prior 4.4.2 leak (NC2), I'm curious as to the difference between the NC2 & NC4.

I haven't done any scientific tests, but NC4 certainly seems snappier and more responsive than the NC2 leak.

Also, I had three specific issues with the (NC2) build and all seem to be resolved in NC4...at least so far. First, the NC2 modem was worse than the MJ7 or MJE versions, but the NC4 modem seems as good, if not better than all the ohers. Second, the screen rotation would occasionally stop responding and get stuck in one mode or the other and only a reboot would fix it. And third, the auto brightness didn't work very well, if at all. After five (5) full days of running NC4 with Root I'm not having any issues and this seems to be the most stable and most responsive build yet. Also, battery use is almost identical to what I was getting before...although I probably have been using the phone more just testing it out and setting everything up the way I want it.

Also [MENTION=5790686]anticloud[/MENTION] pointed out that now when you setup your hotspot, if you select advanced options, you can now choose between creating a 2.4GHz and 5GHz hotspot. I don't believe that option was available before, but I never checked it in NC2.

Please post any info you have on undocumented changes from NC2 to NC4 and/or any personal experiences you've noticed between the two.

Thanks in Advance!

*** Take the advice of all the great developers and DO NOT install NC4 until they've had a chance to check it out and pre-root it! ***
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] edwmsjr:
Possible Visual Voicemail Issue

I did read that at least two users who installed NC4 are having issues with Visual Voice Mail.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] airmaxx23:
I haven't experienced either of these issues and I've be on NC2 since the leak came out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] pinhead10:
I've definitely been hitting the screen rotation and auto brightness bugs. Hopefully, those are addressed in NC4
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SuBDivisions:
I as well have seen the autobrightness bug.. It seems to fix itself on a reboot for me, but irks me a bit. Screen sometimes is #1 in list of Barry draining apps.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] fletch33:
i wish this thread had a "?" at the end of the title. with 700+ views i cant be the only one expecting to see the NC4 change log posted LOL
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] krazy_smokezalot:
Agree please rephrase you post topic because that's false information. There is no change log here

Sent from my SM-N900V
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] edwmsjr:
Okay...I heard ya and added a question mark at the end of the title. I assumed...and I figured we all did...that there would never be an 'official' change log posted by Samsung or VZW noting the changes from an unofficial, leaked firmware to a final, official version. That's why I wanted to create a forum where end users could document the changes they've noticed. Sorry for the confusion and misleading original title!

UPDATE: I changed the title again because we now actually have an "official VZW change log" which is available in the original post of this thread (Thanks [MENTION=2907305]klittle81[/MENTION]). However, I still would like to have users share their experiences from NC2 to NC4...which was my original intention anyway.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] amebiasis:
I think what he meant is like how me and probably others were thinking, this thread had a change log from 4.3 to 4.4.2 NC4. Thats what I thought.

On the other thread a user is claiming by turning on survival mode on SU he was able to upgrade and keep root. Have any of you that have upgraded tried that and did it work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] edwmsjr:
Yeah, I get that now. I didn't really think about it at first because change logs for 4.4.2 from 4.3 have been out since January pretty much everywhere.

I was going to try the OTA with Survival mode, but when I go to "software update" from "about phone", I get the message "unfortunately, settings has stopped". I'm running the pre-rooted stock 4.4.2 NC2 prepared by Beans. I assume he disabled it to prevent people from taking OTA's by mistake.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] amebiasis:
Ya I'm pretty sure I read somewhere he DID remove it for that "just in case" scenario.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] edwmsjr:
So, that leads to some questions about the people who are saying that they've installed the OTA with Survival Mode in SU. They must be rooted if they've got SU, but most devs remove the ability to do OTA's...so what gives. Are they rooted on 4.3 or 4.4.2(NC2)...and what rom, if any are they running that allows OTA's? Just thinking out loud... :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neopolotin75:
I'm interested to see if they enabled the XLTE on the Note 3 since the M8 and S5 require software update....maybe that's why it took so long to get it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] amebiasis:
If you search through the general forum here there's a big thread on aws we can enable it now I'm 99% sure of through a hidden menu. I'm not sure if root is required but I remember guys saying they enabled it already.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Janker5050:
The stock rooted latest 4.3 ROM with all boat intact and no theme or any file tampering will allow the 4.4.2 OTA......but if you have any bloat removed or tampered with any system UI or framework files it will fail....so that why some people prefer to freeze bloat instead of deleting it so they can unfreeze it and accept a ota.....If you modded your device and want to ota with root survival mode, your best bet is to back up any internal storage data, do a fresh install of stock 4.3 MJE tar through odin, root using a MJE approved root method...do not modify or debloat anything.....check ota survival in super su app...take the OTA with your fingers crossed cause there is no guarantee. ...now welcome to a secured kernel and no way to revert back to 4.3 to root if it didn't survive..lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Morlok8k:
So my tether provisioning hack and wanam xposed probably will make it fail?

Yea I saw that thread and it had to be enabled manually but I was meaning if it would be enabled from Verizon and us not needing to hack it.
