I actually noticed this too but I guess I had hit the 500MB threshold and T-Mobile redirected all my internet traffic to a web page saying I needed to buy a plan. I made the edit to the Settings Storage data base and changed the APN to include "dun" and now it works perfectly again.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axtn95:
I'm assuming every unlocked phone has to have the same modifications made to the device to tether on T-mobile (tether_dun_required & IPV4). This was the same on my Nexus 5.

By the way, no root required for both those changes, and if you don't want to buy the SQLite editor app, follow below

Run the following command through adb shell, or terminal (just don't use "adb shell" if doing it through terminal)

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0

Next, if you are on T-mobile, goto your APN settings and change the APN protocol to IPv4, at least for the duration of tethering.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
I'm tethering on T-mobile, well actually using the wi-fi hotspot rather than USB tether, with absolutely no problem. I did not have to change any settings aside from what is int eh phone's menu. I'm on simple-starter 2 GB ($45) plan at the moment.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronwi2:
How to Disable Detection

I just got a Moto X pure edition, running 5.0.

It seems that I can tether natively using Tmobile, but the phone is notifying Tmobile that I am tethering because I can look online and see that my tethering allowance is decrementing (I have a plan with unlimited LTE but limited tethering data so there is a separate count for each.)

I previously had a Nexus 5 and modified the database as described in the other posts to turn off the "tattling" feature of the phone - and could tether without the tethering count changing online.

is there a similar database value that I can modify on the X to prevent the tethering notification?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
I don't see anything in my T-Mobile account that shows a separate tethering allowance. Do you have a pre-paid or post-paid plan? I also have unlimited LTE (as a temporary promotion), but before that I had the 3 GB plan and never saw a separate tethering allowance either.

I'm running Cyanogen on a Nexus 4. I did no special modifications regarding tethering. Perhaps using a custom ROM would solve your problem.

Or could there be other ways around this? Would changing your DNS server help? Could a firewall like AFWall block the part of the system that communicates with T-Mobile's sever about this?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronwi2:
I have an unlimited LTE account through Harbor Mobile, which is provisioned by Tmobile in the same way as a corporate postpaid account.

I can see the separate counter for the "Smartphone Mobile Hotspot" by clicking on "Detailed Usage" in the Tmobile Android app.

Cyanogen would solve the problem, but I want to stay stock. I assume there is an equivalent method to modify the phone similar to the method used with Nexus 5 where the phrase "tether_dun_required = 0" is added to a database on the phone. I am just trying to find out if anyone has figured out what it is for the Moto X and used it successfully.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Do you know the database that needs to be altered on the nexus?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronwi2:
The database is called settings.db and is located here: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

The fix is to add a new entry to the global table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.

Once that is done, the phone no longer reports to the carrier that the phone is tethering. The carrier can still detect tethering under certain circumstances through packet inspection.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
I can see that dB and it looks like it can be edited on the device. Have you tried editing it? Are you rooted?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronwi2:
No, not yet rooted. Just bought my phone on May 5th when Moto was selling the 64 MB phone for $375. I thought I would wait until getting the OTA to 5.1 before rooting.

I didn't realize that the Moto X had the same database - given the similarities between the Moto X and Nexus 5, there is probably a good chance the same modification would work. Will try it out after I get 5.1 and root.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
It looks like you also have to add

Net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

To your build.prop

And

package_verifier_enable with a value of 0

To the database as well
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm really in need of a non rooted rom that have the tether_dun_required=0 baked in. I need to encrypt and install airwatch but even if it's ever been rooted and then unrooted it still flags.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronwi2:
I don't know what Airwatch is.

However, this method of making a simple change to the APN worked for me:

"Edit the main APN "T-Mobile US LTE" and add ",dun" to the end of the "APN type" (so the it should say "default,mms,supl,hipri,fota,dun") then save it."

Just tried this on my stock, unrooted, XT1053, and it worked like a charm.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xZip-:
Hey guys. The other day I dismantled my nexus to replace my cracked housing and of course that involved removing the battery. I removed my battery by prying at it gently with a screw driver (mistake, I know) and it came out pretty easily. I flipped it over and saw I created a small scratch on the bottom of the battery. As far as I can see it isn't punctured but now my phone smells like spearmint. Is my battery screwed? It still works and everything I am just a little worried that I keep getting wafts of battery mint.

I don't know for sure that it is dangerous, but I'd go on the side of caution and say yes. Depending on how bad it was bent / punctured, I've seen them go on to swell up from there on in as well. I'd get a new one and pop it in

Yea. Thanks for the insight. I'll go ahead and order one off of eBay. I took a look on there a minute ago and luckily there are ones available to be shipped from ft Lauderdale.

i'm currently in jelly bean 4.1.2 since the 4.2.2 update was offering me poor battery and stability .though the jelly bean version 4.1.2 was satisfactory in terms of performance ,the camera was awful therefore i'm looking for a custom ROM .so which to go ?i want the best battery life ,good camera and less bugs as possible. also if i need to install the AOSP ROM do i need to flash a custom kernel like cm 11 and if i need to which kernel is best as of now?
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
CM11 doesn't have good camera.Ok,the photo camera may be a little better,but only a little.Video camera lags a lot in normal to low light & low light of course,you'll have some graphics bugs.About the performance is about the same.However,I felt like the phone gets a lot hotter on CM11 ( and i DIDN'T overclocked more than 1.2 Ghz).I recommend you to go to stock,wipe everything(including system&boot) and flash Parralax ROM v1/v3(V3 has more beautiful themes) and then flash Vengeance r1 kernel.Use the Wi-Fi fix ( there is a thread right now in General section about how to fix it ) and remove all the bloatwares,disable all the notifications,auto-sync stuff.After this,install Greenify and select all apps that might wake your phone up(like messenger,facebook,gmail,whatsapp and so on) and I guarantee you'll have at least 2 days of battery backup at normal usage.All the best !

hi there,

I'm trying to root my i9195 S4 mini.

I've followed a video guide. (can't link yet need 10 posts)

I've got to the first step, using odin and download mode to install the kernel. For the next step I have to install CWM, also via odin and download mode. But this time I can't seem to enter download mode. When I try to hold vol down+home+power, it just boots normally. However, in the first screen 'SAMSUNG Galaxy s4 Mini' it shows 'Warranty bit: kernel' in the top left in yellow.

Any help? My phone works fine, but I can't seem to enter download mode.

You all know, there are more'n'more devices that have already Android KitKat/Higher as Standard OS without Upgrade.

And on the newer Jelly Bean·Phones, more and more people are trapping into the KitKat-Trap.

Phones that have KitKat as Standard OS are:

All Samsung Galaxy Models newer that S5 (=S5 Normal, Mini, Sport, Active, LTE A and so on and including K-Ƶoom.

HTC ONE M8, E8 (not MAX, M7)

Sony Xperia Z2: Z2+Z2Tablet Z3 Z3 Compact, Tablet Compact

Lenovovo Motorôla MOTO 8,X

LG Google Nexus 5

LG G2 Pro, Mini and G3

Nexus 6,9

and there are thay they mený other devices, which have Jelly Bean pre-installed but can actually be Upgradet to hell. (Examplse.:Ntoe 3, 8.0 Note2 and Galaxy S3 only on VeriƵon (lucky not-veryzon-S3's!) and all Nexus devices newer than 2011 i think incl. Nexus 7 2012, 2013, Nexus 4,Samsung Nexus 10? Yes, i saw it on GSMAarena!)

So this time my Questions are:

Is it possible to have all the new Features (Device and UI-Version and OS-Version) (UI=User Interface, GUI=Graphical UserInterface, OS=Operating System or Operation System) on a device but fix followwing disadvantages:

EXAMPLE DEVICE= Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge (Gear S has a

Well, i'm happy that every 4.4.2 device WILL get 4.4.3! Because:

>4.4.2 Makes Battery Problems (60% Runtime of 4.3 on S4)

·64% of the KitKat-4.4.0 and 4.4.2 not 4.4.1,4.4.3or4.4.4 devices make Battery Problems with Skype, inside of the Battery Menu it shows: 16-17% Skype, 81% Android OS. So the BatRunTime will be minimized to 20% for Skype-Users but i'd actually like to use Skype.

What Google Said:

>Galaxy Note Devices have some bugs with External Hardware

>Samsung Stops Cheating on AnTuTu; 20% Worse Results! (Since 4.4.2, 4.4.0 Still Cheated, 4.4.1=No Samsung Device ever had 4.4.1! Only Nexus 10 i think! But Nx5 is made by Google and

Ah! What i forgot to write:

On external SD (Probably „SDCARD1"), there'll be ES and ES can just delete every file on External SD

And if you Delete a file with ES or User Apps, then they'll be just normally deleted „?XAMPLE.MP4) but if you delete a file (IntMem and ExtMem), with the stock built-in File Explorer, then they'll be additionally wiped, this wastes ressoruces and battery and makes the file inrecoverable. Googlre:„data privacy"

But the maximum survey options are just 50! So i wasn't able to make any single Android-Version as an Option. I did Exclude the BETA-Versions.

IF KitKat, then 4.4.1 or 4.4.5! There will be no 44.4.6 anymore but ...!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannah Stern:

i recognized, that i'm going to run out of options! So i did extend the Options-Number to 50!

Result: still not engouh -—―- read upper posts (no, i mean the last post for more information

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannah Stern:
What i mean:

What i mean is::

Some SDCard Fix-Apps can fix the SD-Card Problem but NOT THIS!

The WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission must only grant write access to the primary external storage on a device. Apps must not be allowed to write to secondary external storage devices, except in their package-specific directories as allowed by synthesized permissions. Restricting writes in this way ensures the system can clean up files when applications are uninstalled.

But i don't want the System to clean up the files - see the CameraMX-Example!

Ýou take recordings with CameraMX for example.

Let's say you

uninstall

CameraMX.

That#s what happens -

Android 4.3 - Recordings don't get touched - not even a single byte or EVEN BITT! (1Bit = 1/8 - 12,5% - 0.125 of a byte, can only be 0 or 1!)

Android 4.4+ - ALL RECORDINGS AWAY.

Does the app also fix this problem?

How to fix it manuallý?

Where is it in the Android-Permission Codes?

on which paths are they stored that you can view it by the ES₃-File Explorer for example?

And since 4.4.

.2

you can't disable some particûlar permissions for some particular apps.! :eek:

I hate to say this but your not gonna get anywhere with just es file explorer. What you want to change is deep in the system. You will have to build an entire os for your device to remove the restriction.

When an app is uninstalled it "should" remove any and all files/folders it created. Too many apps leave their junk behind after uninstalling it.

Just wait for 5.0 release. It limits it even more.
