[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pure+:
I'm not sure this is possible or how it would be done, but if it could it'd probably end up being one of the more popular mods to date. There simply to decent way to achieve this currently and a native implementation would be incredible.

Look, I think you should improve the guide only works for at&t and tmobile.

I modified "TetheringProvision" in this guide and nothing, the same error: "Mobile data is not avaible or invalid SIM". Does not work with another carrier other than att or tmobile.

The only way that works for me is to replace the apk dirty "TetheringProvision" method Galaxy S4.

Corroborate if someone worked with different operator, for example, movistar latin america or other provider other country. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
obviously your carrier uses different methods to provision tethering, if you can tell me what methods they use i might be able to adjust for it

and P.S. if you can read you would see it says AT&T or Tmobile, i only offered as a hope that maybe other carriers used the same methods, so if you want me to look into it might try asking nicely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jm2k7:
no problem, however the effort is appreciated.

do not know how could fix the code so that it works for another operator.

It should be something generic to accept any carrier.

Well for now the problem is solved just replace the apk: http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/mobile-hotsoit-carrier-t2801876

hello again. :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
i compared that apk to ours and it is not even close in code, not sure what kind of effect this will have in our devices as far as att and tmobile go

there where to many differences to sort through to determine what was needed. sorry

Samsung Galaxy S5 from AT&T

Model number: SAMSUNG-SM-G900A

Android version: 4.4.2

Using Grand Fathered unlimited data plan

PREREQUISITES:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

* Root Samsung Galaxy S5 using Towelroot.

- see MY PHONE above

* Download/Install "Virtuous Ten Studio" (VTS): a free tool used to decompile, edit, and recompile apk files.

* Use adb to pull TetheringProvision.apk from phone to PC

* Patch TetheringProvision.apk pulled from the phone using using the VTS tool

-- edited apk files per instructions in THIS THREAD.

-- for VTS settings use advanced, use original signature of apk, ...

* USING Root Explorer create /sdcard/myPatch1/

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

adb push myPatch1/TetheringProvision.apk /sdcard/myPatch1/

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

Why can't you just post the modified .apk for att and T-Mobile?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
No modifications to my code without roper recognition

I'm normally a pretty easy going kind of guy, but sometimes I get a little testy when certain things happen, so I'm only going to say this once.

IF YOU USE MY WORK OR MODIFY IT IN ANY FASHION YOU MUST ASK MY PERMISSION FIRST, AND IN NO WAY OR FASHION ARE YOU ALLOWED TO REPOST YOUR MODIFICATIONS IN MY THREAD.

This includes creating patches for other systems, patches for same systems at request of other members etc.

If this happens again I will give proper warning and then I will close and delete the thread and that will be that.

This is an awesome community way beyond expectations however, I am a stickler for protocol, if you ask I'll will give permission 100% of the time as long as it is mine to give.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] elliwigy:
lol i learned how to build roms before decompiling apks as i find it easier.. i guess youre suppose to be smart enough to pull the apk, decompile the apk, edit the apk, recompile the apk and possibly sign it afterwards in order to use this MOD! Good Luck! Without a pre modded apk I will hafta wait until the weekend to ask for permission to include in my ATT ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
really? Seriously? This is probably one of the easiest mods EVER, and since this mod can be adopted accross carriers posting a "premodded apk" would be time consuming as i would have to have the specific apk from every carrier.

THIS IS a thread on HowTo not a thread on Here you go have it...

P.S. if your building a ROM to post in the forums might be a good idea not to ruffle the feathers of the DEVS whose work you want to include.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] elliwigy:
I do not own an ATT s5.. I have a vzw s5.. searching online you can find similar MOD for tethering that has been around for some time with the same exact edits as your MOD. Either way I am sorry if I offended you. I just feel it would be easier for ATT owners to have a modded apk that they can use for their ATT roms considering this is the ATT thread.. What youre implying is no one can take your mod edit (most likely found from someone else) and make an apk for others to use who do not have the ability to do it themselves. Android is about being open source and sharing with the community not providing a mod that is easily found throughout these forums and saying no one else can use it or post an apk without your permission or knowledge of how to make the edits in the first place.

Again, i am glad for what you do but a mod that has been around for some time isnt something one can claim as theres just because theyre first to post in a certain thread.

And all i was saying is why not post a modded apk or let someone else just with the att apk for att users in this thread? Not to go and make one for every device.. but hey, i will not add your mod to any rom I work on.. I will find one of the other devs MOD and give them the cred.

edit: here is the same mod from over a year ago:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2278259

Of course you used a different server address but the mod is the same. You only need to direct the mod to a server that enables the hotspot to be turned on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
read the OP, it says where the mod came from scrossler over in the LG forums,(which by the way is the original mod this is based on) the design of this mod is different than his and has more edits. so yes this is based on his mod but is my work. i highly doubt you found lots of mods with the exact same edits as the edits in my mod point to my specific servers and are handled differently than others.

I am not posting a modded apk nor will I this thread is a guide on how to do it yourself.

nuff said thread closed.

AND P.S. THIS MOD IS ONLY FOR AT&T AND TMOBILE, NOT FOR VERIZON.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
As I had said earlier I wont cater complaints and begging READ The OP it very clearly says where the origins of this mod came from and mentions the original author. I am closing this thread but will leave it up for all to use.

How the Netflix app running, smooth?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuclearmeltdown2046:
Netflix runs great on mine. Depending on your connection. If I use my phone for connection and in Sprint spark territory I receive HD content. Same for home network.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Yes Netflix is gorgeous on the 10.5. Give it about 30 seconds or so for the HD movie to buffer and it looks incredible.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
The Netflix and youtube apps have been optimized by Samsung for this device. They look spectacular. It's third party video apps that suffer with extreme Pixelation and ghosting in dark scenes. Such as Crackle, Cable Provider Apps and other streaming services.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasat:
Mine doesn't even let me activate it, I mean, I'm just entering the app for the first time, when I enter my Email and password is telling me that the device can't be activated, I called Netflix and the only thing they told me was to uninstall it and reinstall it and when I told them that this one came pre-installed that I can't uninstall it just turn it off, he didn't even know what to tell me.

They are telling me to contact Samsung, so go figure...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] litesout:
I'm getting the same error. Tried clearing the data and signing in again, but now it won't even let , me get that far. Just getting the device cannot be activated error.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasat:
Please call Netflix and/or Samsung so they know that this isn't an isolated problem and worth together to fix it.

I called Samsung and basically told me to reset to factory, I asked them if they guarantee me that doing that will fix my issue and they couldn't, so I told them that I wasn't in the mood of just wasting hours that took me to set this today just to see if that fixes it and if at least they have a reliable backup solution where I could simply reset and restore I'd do it, but not with the joke they call Kies, and that I have had all their Galaxies s, both Gears and now the Tab S, so I do like them but must admit that their backup solution is a joke and is a shame that they seem to not care about do something at least like LG has.

I called back Netflix and this time they were asking and escalating the call and in waiting for a call back.

Just for curiosity and trying to cover all the bases, are you on the Continental US? I live in Puerto Rico and I'm just wondering if this could be some Region issue.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasat:
Just to let you know that after trying all day at the office where I'm the System Manager so I have full online access as usual with all my previous and actual android devices, and after talking to Samsung and Netflix guys I just cane home and guess what, I could activate Netflix without a hiccup, so what can be different with this Netflix app on this Tablet that is the first device that I couldn't activate the Netflix app but everything else was working perfectly, even more, I used the OEM browser and Chrome and went to Netflix and login from there and saw everything perfectly, so the proviene was always the Netflix App.

Let me wait for Netflix call as they haven't call yet and see what they think after I explain this to them.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
The Netflix app has worked flawlessly for me from day 1.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertc88:
Netflix worked for me right from the get go and it was one of the first things I tried when I got my 8.4".

The picture looks great, I'm not even sure what the highest resolution one can stream using Netflix.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] litesout:
I was able to get it working as well. I went into the application manager and uninstalled the update. Then, let it reupdate from the Google Play store and it worked fine.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasat:
They never called me yesterday, but after trying at home and worked I'm sure they just re-adjusted something on their end, that's the only explanation why suddenly it worked after not working for a full day, I'm assuming that they just changed something and let me try it again by myself instead of call me, that can explain why yours is working now also. I did what you are mentioning here about 5 times and nothing worked before, so if now is working then maybe something was changed after my couple of calls.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everlast716:
Netflix streams 4k video now, breaking bad, and ghostbusters I know for sure are 4k. I don't know if it will convert or look better though on the Samsung tab S? Let me know if you notice any difference?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 30Seconds:
I picked up the 8.4 S yesterday and I think it's clear that this is the best device for Netflix I have ever used. I checked out both the 8.4 and the 10.5 at the dealer and felt that the 8.4 was superior due to the pixel density giving it a sharper look.

To some extent I didn't feel the 10.5 was any better than the Note 10.1 2014 and I have always felt that video was a bit blurry on the larger screens. The display density on the 8.4 is just perfect and Netflix and Youtube are impressive.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter234:
I got the 10.5. 32Gb. Love it. No problem seeing up Netflix. When I started the the stock Netflix app it requested an update. After that it run smoothly.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AVF Jay:
I noticed some of you said that Netflix was already installed. For some reason mine wasn't.

I wonder why?

As I thought there was an exclusive Netflix app for the tab s. If I download Netflix from play store is it the same app?

Also for those that have the Netflix app pre installed is it not deletable then?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] litesout:
Mine came with Netflix pre installed. I can't delete it, only uninstall the updates.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter234:
Mine also came with pre installed Netflix. When I tried to run it, it promenade me to upgrade the app. After the upgrade it run flawlessly.

On opening the quick settings, we all know that the first (Top - Left is "ME" or the android user's profile pic) is your profile pic.

But ever since i bought Moto G, my name will appear somewhere in between the pic, most of the phones have the name displayed at the bottom of the pic, but that's not the case with me.

Can Moto G users please confirm if they have same problem of name appearing on the pic rather than at bottom ?

Yes, I am totally aware that name is usually at bottom for almost all other phones.

I had a Htc One V and it displayed the name at bottom too.

I guess Moto tried to be different but it's a completely illogical change, it's annoying to see the name cover up your face :confused:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osseon:
Has anyone had any experience with the G3's hotspot rooted or non-rooted? Any experience with signals or stability would be greatly appreciated.

A little sob story background: I live in a neighborhood that the Teleco companies have completely neglected. Even though I live in america I only have dial up. Our phones get the very Edge of sprint's LTE network but I'm running a Galaxy S2 with Wimax (which wonderful sprint discontinued a month after I bought the phone) So our only means of internet is a 3G and what little LTE my family can pick up with their various phones. I'm a gamer so I'd like to be brought into the highspeed age finally. Hotspot reliability will make or break buying the LG G3 and I'd love to get a little feedback of what to expect.

Thanks!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partylikeaninjastar:
Would I be able to use this phone as a hotspot out of the box like I can with my Nexus 5 or would I have to go through my carrier for that? I use my Nexus 5 as a hotspot for my Nexus 7 when I'm out and about. I wouldn't want to have to start paying monthly for that function.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protagoras:
Should work out of the box like any android phone
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overzeetop:
Are you Verizon unlimited, and that's why you're asking? If you just need something, what about FreedomPop? I know, I know - sleazy company - but they're wedded to Sprint's LTE/WiMax exsting network (if you're close), and you might be able to rig an antenna/amp to pull in that LTE. It's what I do to get V (and formerly AT&T) in my basement.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread, too, as I'm curious. I've got a JB iPhone to get the hotspot and keep my unlimited. I actually use the hotspot about once every 2-3 months, and usually for less than 1/4 of my phone-only data, so it galls me to consider adding ~$500/yr for those couple times I need a sip of data when I'm on the road. I'll be switching to the G3 as soon as its released, and seeing how it's like on the android side of things.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partylikeaninjastar:
But does every phone work out of the box with tethering? I'm on T-Mobile with an older unlimited data plan, if that helps.

Coming from a Nexus 4 and 5, tethering was always an option in the settings. My concern is whether or not it's still an option in a skinned version of Android or will I need to add tethering to my plan and use a T-Mobile branded app?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sykozylot:
Some of T-Mobile's older unlimited plans don't like you using wifi tethering. I'm on an older unlimited and once in a while I get a webpage telling me to upgrade my plan. I'm currently using an HTC Sensation though and thinking of getting the G3.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osseon:
Does freedom pop have true unlimited? No hidden data charges and all the data I can handle? I've used about 30gb in the last month on my 3G connection and probably another 20GB in the last 4 days on my mother's LTE. This is using Sprint's unlimited data plan. I burn through the GB and 5-10gb a month just wouldn't do.

EDIT: Just checked and no Freedom pop doesn't Calculating the data charges for my current useage would cost me about $2000 a month. No thanks.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partylikeaninjastar:
This is why I need to know how native tethering works on a G3.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubhar:
Tethering is the same as any other android phone. The G3 supports wifi, blue tooth and USB tethering. How this works with US versions of the phone I dont know. In the UK tethering is monitored and controlled by the network not the phone, so the phone still has the capability. If you have a plan that allows tethering, and you dont have a crippled version of the phone there's no difference, its just like any other android phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partylikeaninjastar:
So you're saying the ability to turn the G3 into a hotspot can be found in the settings menu?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osseon:
What provider are you using?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubhar:
Unless your using some carried modified version of the G3 it should be under the settings menu as "tethering & networks"

Yes, that's correct.
