[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpda:
thanks for the prompt advise.

i did it, i upgrade the modem to the most update in my country (according to sammobile) and now i can make an emergency call w/ & w/o the sim but all the rest remain as is.

still have "Not registered on network" whenever i try to make a call.

what else can be done?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Do you get network signals?

Try a manual search for selecting the networks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpda:
like i said i don't have access to that.

i do have network signal as you can see in the original post pictures.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
You can :

1. In Mobile Networks, set*Network mode*as*WCDMA only*and restart your phone.

After restarting try finding them.

2.Try opening the phone and check for any loose connections near the sim tray. A fall can do anything. And Ifixit.com can help you do.

3. Update your software to the latest one in your area?

Otherwise, SSC all the way. I don't know much workarounds now. Mine get solved this way, if they ever happen now. :)

Get a new sim card from your provider
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Mate ,

It may be a problm with your efs folder, do you have a backup of your efs folder? if so restore it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpda:
i did try it with another sim but nothing change
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpda:
i don't have an access to the Mobile Networks it's think that i dont have sim.

i cleaned the sim reader with Alcohol and it didn't solve the issue.

i flashed the most update ROM I9500XXUGNH4 (released 9.14).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpda:
no i don't have efs backup. how can i fix it? my IMEI # is correct.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi ,

Even if IMEI shows correct still can be an EFS issue , without backup and without a box (like Z3X) is hard , if your phone has still warranty take it to Samsung if not you may have to go to a local service shop.

Before you do and if you have the skills check the antenna cable just in case is loose or defective
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpda:
hi,

it's took a while but I send the phone to service shop, they fixed the EFS check the SIM reader install new ROM and still nothing.

When I try to get into the “Mobile Networks” menu I get “insert sim card to access network services” even when I have already sim card and the phone recognized it (no “No SIM” icon on the notification bar).

please help me my phone is a brick for so long time....

Is it possible to use Internet while keep annonymous ?? :confused::confused::confused:
[Security Discussion] H-Cim:
Well as soon as you go on the internet you are going to leave a fingerprint behind. You can minimize this a bit but you can't visit websites and not visit them at the same time. You can only make it less obvious that you visited them.

Some things that can make it harder for you to be tracked:

- Use a costum rom (AOSP probably best) without Google Apps.

- Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) while browsing the web. This way websites only know that a certain "server" visited them, but they do not know who is behind this server. This way it becomes a lot harder to trace the visit back to you.

- Use Firefox Browser, it helps especially compared to Chrome.

- Send DoNotTrack requests (With tools such as Ghostery). Most web browsers now have an option build-in.

- Use an Adblocker on untrusted websites (Pref not on XDA ;)). Adaway is one of the apps you can use on Android to achieve this.

If you this kind of things on your Android device you will become a lot more anonymous. Ofcourse this is all pretty basic, if you start throwing out your passwords and name in the stuff you post online, ofcourse you no longer be anonymous :). The largest danger is in giving your information to random websites/people on the internet. Tools such as e-mail maskers are always useful. Also try to refrain from installing apps without checking their permissions and stuff. If you install "Cute Free Wallpaper App" you might be infesting your device with malware, no matter how much protection you use it still all boils down to common sense.
[Security Discussion] metaspook:
Thanks a lot bro.. for your gud suggestions :D
[Security Discussion] Nathan2:
You can install Orbot and Orweb to browse through the Tor network. This is much slower than using a VPN, but you don't have to trust a VPN provider to keep you anonymous.
[Security Discussion] Guiver2:
Thanks you too !:good:
[Security Discussion] CHEF-KOCH:
Tor isn't for beginners or total secure but people seems not able to understand it.

It your traffic isn't encrypted this means you sent plain text, passwords etc it goes unencrypted to the nodes and if these notes are compromised it's 'easy' to identify what you sent via deep package inspection. Silkroad was busted by this, an compromised www site with an sql hack and ... Tor is useless, so easy is that. Again it's not designed and never will be for beginners if we talking about 'total security'.

Just now installed Scanno's TWRP-TF300T-2_8_1_0.zip. It seems to work fine, but it failed the zip file signature verification. I flashed it with Scanno's 2800 version.

I cannot find any version history on the web for this application. One of the recent versions was stable. I can't recall which version but it had to be 1.60, 1.61, or 1.62. If anyone has APKs for these versions that they would share, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Any recommendations on the best bluetooth unit for the tytn? I would also like to pair it with another phone sometimes, if that makes a difference.

I'm only looking at using it for voice calls and skype...don't care about music playback, etc...

Thanks,

LIP
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Quilliam:
I use the Jabra Jx10.

It works great and is easy to switch to anther phone (just turn off the last phone used and it auto connects to the next phone it was paired with). Might be an easier way, but this does work.

Only negative I have with all bluetooth is I can hear the hiss sound very well. But I have that problem with all bluetooth. Friend of mine has the exact same phone and bluetooth and he can't hear the hiss at all. But then again I think he must be going death.

My next bluetooth to try is the jawbone. Once it comes out in black.

My BT headset

I've got the Plantronics Discovery 645. Overall, I'd say it's very good. Great sound, people tell me I sound good, pretty good range, etc. I generally keep it on the lowest volume level, and that's just loud enough for me.

My only complaints are:

1. Whenever I answer using the BT headset button, it takes about 1-2 seconds for the audio stream to fully kick in. (That could be a BT thing, not just this headset.) But occasionally my TyTn's BT is off (I've noticed that it sometimes turns off overnight...still trying to figure out why), and when I try to answer using the BT headset button, I end up waiting about 3 seconds before I notice that there's something wrong. Then it's a mad scramble to get my TyTn out of the holster and answer manually.

2. The soft-gel earpiece, although soft and comfy, isn't a perfect fit for my ear. After putting it in and adjusting it, if I move my head just a little too fast, it will start to come loose to the point where I need to push it back in. I end up fiddling with it to find the "snug" point where it's secure enough to stay in. (Yeah I could use the little wire whip to hook over my ear, but I wear glasses, and that makes it uncomfortable.)

If this BT headset ever gives out (or my wife decides she wants it instead), I'll be checking out other BT headsets. Until then, it's good enough for the price.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Fox_SE:
So far I had more than 20 BT units. My latest one is simply the best.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Fox_SE:

jawbone

Get one of the new jawbones. It blows everything else away. I have owned every headset mentioned here and returned them all within 30 days.. and with disappointment. I have been able to carry on a conversation without raising my voice in a convertible with the top down (windows up) at triiple digit speeds. It is the only headset that has been reasonably quiet on the other end enough that the person is willing to chat with me. THe buttons take some getting used to, and so does the fit wih all the included options. Try them out until you are sure it fits snugly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] balld:
I second your opinion. I love my jawbone. I can talk to anyone 2 inches away from my washing machine, and they can't even hear it when it's running. Truly amazing. Check it out at www.jawbone.com. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Wiper:
I just got back to work with a brand new HBH-IV835 and I have to say it's dissapointing.

The sound from the speaker is a bit muffled, like it's missing treble. Other end complains that my sound gets also muffled under noisier environments (Computer room).

Other complaints are the loysy answer/reject button, and no way to change the volume.

When the battery runs low, the earpiece won't alert the user in anyway (or not that I've heard) but just dies silently leaving you wonder what the hell happened.

On the plus sides, it sits comfy in the ear and it's light and looks cool.

Verdict: I'm gonna test drive this over the weekend and prolly take it back to the store and try Jabra JX10 instead. The sound quality is just lame.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] adelamare:
I use the Sony Ericsson DS970 and find it great.

It wasn't without tirals and tribulations though as it was originally rubbish and I was quite disapointed.

I searched the forums and found that a hwhole host of bright people had made patches for the issues that work for most headsets.

To start I downloaded and installed the fit4cat tweaker (Now 2.0) which has boosted the audio quality and done a load of other funky things to my phone so that application is a must! for the Hermes.

l also downloaded a cab from somewhere called A2DPfix.CAB which stopped the skipping.(Yes.. it seems you need both)

THere is also another patch called bluetooth Voice command.cab that stops the Hemes occasionally outputing the audio to the phone rather than the headset and stops the voice command talking over your conversation.

Is there anything left that could be fixed?? Yes.. there are still no tags for numbers from the phone but I can live with that. And sometimes the phone behaves a little slow when reading mail whilst listening to music and its downloading something. but thats ok for me.

All these patches are available if you read the forums and take in what has been said so you can find them.
