That's what I feared... I'm usually not that bad with messing with the phone, and couldn't see anything obvious either. I've disabled "using wifi to locate" in wifi settings, I'll see how this drops the nlp wakelocks, for starters.

If anyone has a better idea, please don't hesitate ;)

i have use quite a few of the more popular battery saving apps over the years. i just came across this one yesterday. its shaping up to be the best i have used to date. i wasnt using my phone except for a few minutes this morning, and it went 5 1/2 hours and was still @ 100%.

i also use greenify with root + exposed.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbenz2008:
did you disable FAST DORMANCY? I have done it while on JB ? IT did not cause any prob.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoinCoin88:
Haven't disabled it, mostly because I've never been able to determine if it was being used by carriers in France or not. I've read somewhere that it wasn't, but the source was hardly documented. I've tried to disable it in JB however, and did not see any improvement.

Right now I've disabled Google Now and location history things. I'm trying to reduce the wakelocks as much as I can using settings available from stock rom (and understand at the same time what was causing them). Battery drain is still high, but I'm testing things every 10 min or so, so it's not really representative. I'll update here when I have a better idea of what's going on.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeffp25:
I have a Skyrocket with 4.1.2 from AT&T, that is off-contract and unlocked by AT&T. When I travel overseas, it works fine for everything with a local SIM card except that I can't enable the hotspot function. Instead, I get the message "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM." I ran into this when travelling in Taiwan and tried the same SIM card in a local phone from a colleague - the SIM card worked fine for the hotspot function in the local phone.

I have spoken to tech support at AT&T who say that the problem is that the APN (Access Point Name) is not compatible with non-AT&T SIMs. Is this true? If so, what is the fix? Note that I plan to use this phone in the UK in a few weeks with a local SIM, and would like to be able to share the data with my tablet.

Thanks. So, it looks like I need to do the following:

> Root

> Quarantine 'TetheringProvision' to disable the software lock on hotspot

>* Use ES File Explorer to configure and turn on the hotspot

What is less clear is the use of Foxfi - reading through the messages it is not clear why I would need it (if I do)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeffp25:
Reading another message, it looks like simply using FoxFi may be all that I need, without routing. Still unclear, but certainly worth a first try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jshamlet:
The stock ROM has a tethering check to make sure your account is "allowed" to tether. For fairly obvious reasons, this is failing when you aren't on the AT&T network.

There was a trivially easy work-around on Gingerbread, but I wasn't able to get it working at all on ICS or JB. Their tethering restrictions were much more "baked in".

I'm not sure what your level of comfort on phone modding is, but your best bet may be to dump the stock AT&T ROM and wander over to CyanogenMod. Tethering is as simple as consulting the notification bar. There are some CM11 based ROMs available that will make you slap yourself silly for staying with that crufty carrier-branded ROM as long as you have. ;)

I'm running Sultan's CM11 ROM myself, but almost any ROM (other than one from AT&T) will resolve the issue.

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

FoxFi will work, and I used it for a while, but it has a couple of minor limitations. The first is that USB connections require you to leave debugging on and install a driver. I didn't try the WIFI portion, so perhaps that will resolve your problem as well.

It is a paid app, though. The free version is just good enough to let you know if it will work at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeffp25:
I just installed Foxfi and gave it a try - it reports that it can't enable the hotspot. BUT, the failure may be that the non AT&T card I have installed right now does not support data (I'm in the US and the only non AT&T SIM card I have available is this non-data one from the UK). So, I have to chose between assuming it will work when I pick up a new data-enabled SIM in the UK in ten days and rooting my phone. At this point, I'm leaning towards the latter.

Is there a thread that I should use to find clear step-by-step instructions for rooting the phone - the one or two I've seen either are for other phones or are pretty old and maybe don't show the current best ROM options?

One of the first things I noticed was that there is no need to root the phone to install a customer ROM. Is that true if I want to enable the hotspot feature, or for this case do I need to root the phone?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nizi123:
So I've been browsin the web, trying to decide if I should should root or not. There are many threads about it, but some contradict the other, and some don't seem like the correct answer, so I just wanted to get some clarification on the questions I had. I have the T-mobile G3

1) Does rooting remove the ability to get OTA updates? Or can you still update, but it'll remove root?

2) If I root my G3 and delete the T-mobile apps, will I not be able to un-root back to stock? Is that what freezing the apps is for?

3) How difficult is it to get back to stock?

4) If I un-root the phone, is it possible to root again?

5) Right now, is stump root the best/ easiest way to root the G3 (tmobile) ?

Thanks for the help

Shipping Charges

So i was looking around and someone said they had a chat with Google about the 2 shipping charges one for the NP and one for the controller.. Basicly chat or get with them and let them know you fully intended on buying the NP and the controler at the same time... They will refund the shipping on one of the orders. The guy said he would refund the higher one which i'm guessing without looking would be around 10 dollars for the NP... i told them to just give me a google play credit. but i think he will put it back on my card..

I used a SGN2 with 3 frotal buttons. Menu--Home--Back.

Anytime I need my screen doesn't turn off I pressed menu button, if the menu appears well I pressed again menu button and screen was still turn on.

Now my SGN4 has this 3 frontal buttons Recent apps--Home--Back

If U use some kind of apps (for previous android versions) you will find that menu is hidden, and not all the time the 3 points menu shows up, then WHERE'S MENU BUTTON?

Well the trick is this

If you PRESS and HOLD "recent apps" button you will activate MENU BUTTON.

Try it :)

OK I hope this makes sense. On my Sprint note 4 you have your screen and then at the bottom you have the captive buttons as well as the physical home button (we all have that) now if you are on your home screen and want to slide to the next screen either right or left.... slide your finger on the black line (bottom of my screen) no matter if its across the whole bar or only part of it. I have attached a pic I got off the net to show what I'm talking about. I hope other carriers have this enabled as is so easy to flip between screens.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] music_man185:
I have read tons of articles and threads about rooting and flashing roms over the years, but most of it gets lost in translation. So I want to make sure I'm heading down the right path before I begin. My Verizon note 3 has the NC4 OTA update, which is what finally pushed me to root. My signal and battery have been horrible since the update. I just rooted my phone using towel root. Now I want to install a custom rom. I'm considering jasmine rom.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the first thing I need to do after rooting is install Safestrap and busybox. I have read that there is a Safestrap version for the nc4 firmware, but it needs busybox to work properly. Then in Safestrap, I need to install a recovery. This makes a copy of how my phone is when stock, right? Then I'm ready to install a custom rom in one of the rom slots, correct? If I'm missing anything, please let me know.

Just a heads up you can now pre-order on the UK play store, though annoyingly sand isn't available.
[Nexus 9 General] aindow:
It certainly is! I've just ordered the 16gb in black. The sand version is yet to be made available but it's showing as only available in 32gb. The standard cases are £35 and the keyboard is £110, both not available.
[Nexus 9 General] Tung_meister:
I wanted the sand one but I'm too impatient so I've ordered at 32GB white model, I'll opt for the £35 cover once it's available, I don't think I'd really use the keyboard and it's far too overpriced!
[Nexus 9 General] aindow:

just rumors.
[Nexus 9 General] radicalisto:
Hmm, wouldn't be surprised, however O2 have a big share in CPW so can't see it being exclusive to EE at the start anyway. However, saying that, When I went to buy my first N5 from CPW they wouldn't sell me one outright, they'd give me one on contract but said the system wouldn't let them sell it outright and they didn't know why (think it was just after the £240 sale price)

I know this is about the Nexus 9 but this is for the above talking about buying the Nexus 6 from CPW. I pre ordered my Nexus 5 online, received my order email without any delays. The next day I went to said store with my reference only to be told that they have no record of my order on system and that the only way I could get one is on contract. After stamping my feet and pointing out that I have the email from them and they should honour it, they eventually agreed to sell me the Nexus 5 off contract. Following that, I kept getting repeat calls from CPW trying to sell me contracts despite me not giving permission. You have been warned...
[Nexus 9 General] Tung_meister:
I had no issue with them getting mine, I walked in on release day and bought one sim free, they asked if I wanted it on contract and tried to sell me insurance but that was it.

Currys/PC World will have it. I checked our Stock file and it's already showing Nexus 9. And as Carphone Warehouse are a part of Dixons now, they will most likely direct people who want the Nexus 9 to Currys/PC World stores (If that exclusive EE deal is true).
[Nexus 9 General] MRobbo80:
Dude a manager from curry's PC world rang me this after noon he said he's been trying to find out about n9 on release date, he could not find anything and told me to check nearer to the time. He was very helpful. What dates will it be on sale?
[Nexus 9 General] Rage1ofakind:
I checked our system on Sunday and today lol. It's there, but there's no release date, just the price and name with 0 showing in stock (As it's not released). I'll keep on checking for release dates, and will definitely keep you guys in the loop :) :good:
