[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hollenbeck8477:
the phone came without a sim card so I just bought a h20 sim but gsm doesn'twork on this phone so I'll probably have to use page plus

, is there a way to root my phone without using a computer? My laptop was broken last week, so it won't crash the system if I root it? The guy at the cell phone store said that it's possible I could crash the system since there was a partial

root done before. I didn't see any su files on my phone but I can't see all my files. I definitely need to root this phone, the activation still doesn't work with the sim out and I am just trying to use page plus, h20 ect in the states,how can I get a stock activated OS or get mine activated thank you for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Yes there is a couple of ways. First what OS are you running ? Is it stock KitKat NAB 4.3, NC5 4.4.2 or NH& 4.4.4 ? Is the device still under warranty, KNOX warranty 0x0 (this can be found by putting the device in download mode, completely power down the device. Press and hold the power button, menu button, and volume DOWN button at the same time a screen will come up then press the volume UP button. Read the KNOX warranty, to get out of download mode press and hold the power button till the device reboots then let go.)

First if you are on NAB or NC5 you can use Towel root WITHOUT tripping KNOX here is the link http://towelroot.org/ there is a PC download and a install video. If you are on NH7 4.4.4 then only CF-auto root will work here is the link http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ and it WILL trip KNOX warranty 0x1 when you root your phone. If your KNOX warranty is tripped 0x1 ( like mine ) then is doesn't matter just use CF-auto root it works for any version of android.

If your KNOX warranty is NOT tripped 0x0, and you are running NAB OR NC5. If your phone has internet access you can download Towel root or and install. To you use a laptop, download Towel root to PC desktop, then just connect the device to the laptop via your charging cable to a USB port. A box will come up click on open to view files and then click on sd card. Copy and paste the Towel root file the sd card, then unplug the phone. Now use a root type file explorer like ES file explorer or Root explorer go to sd card then find the towel root file click on it and install. Any attempt to root NH7 4.4.4 will trip KNOX ( with the exception of rooting NH7 with a NC5 kernel and then reinstall an NH7 kernel )

Now if your Knox warranty is tripped 0x1, then it doesn't matter just download CF-auto root. There is a couple of ways, first you can use CF-autroot in place of Towel root in the above method. OR with a laptop you odin flash the .tar file in the CF-auto root zip above. Here is a link to guide you through using odin to flash to device http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 Enjoy !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hollenbeck8477:
I'm running 4.4.4 nh7, I'm not worried about tripping Knox cause it's a used phone and not under warranty, thank you for the CF-autoroot link, I have just a couple newbie questions, I downloaded the CF-ROOT and put it in download mode but it just kept saying downloading and didn't do anything I pressed and held the power+home+volume down but if i hold the power+home+volume up it'll take me to another screen were i do abd updates and stuff like that so what am i doing wrong do i have tohave a sd card cause i don'thaveone in the phone but I'm going to go get one now. I can use a friend's computer if need be. I don't know a lot about flashing I just know that's the term they use when you want to unlock your phone to a different carrier. I originally wanted to use H2O since I already have the plan ect but my next choice would be page plus but I've never done a flash before so I'm new to the whole idea but I have common sense so I can manage with the right advice, so after I do the CL-root what's the next step to get it setup on H2O or Pageplus? I already downloaded a lot of apps for after the root including the Samsungtool that I found on here which is a awesome app, and again I really appreciate all the help and advice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
OK to get to download mode, completely power down the phone. If the device is on press and hold the power button when a box comes up click power off the phone then wait till it shuts down completely a small vibration is usually the last thing that happens. Now ( push the power + menu + volume down buttons at he same time ). A screen will come up with a yellow triangle on it, next push only the volume up button. The download screen should come up it looks like this.

Next you should have already downloaded the CF-auto root, and the odin files on your PC desktop. Right click the odin zip and extract it to your desktop. Click on the extracted odin file it should have three files in it right click on the top file and click run as administrator odin should open up. Now connect your phone to your PC via the USB charging cable, a box in the upper left hand corner of odin will light up and say COM: doesn't matter what color it is just shows a connection was made. Next there is a button on the right that says PL or PDA click on it a new box will open, click on desktop, then click on the CF-auto file it will open, then click on the .tar file then click open, it should move to the box to the right of PDA button. Ok your all set don't touch anything else just click start. It will take a minute or two then odin will say pass above the COM: box. Now wait a minute, if the device doesn't reboot by it's self then pull the cable and push and hold the power button once it boots up go to the app drawer and look for the SuperSu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hollenbeck8477:
okay I got the phone rooted completely and I've been trying to use the galaxytools app to activate the phone but it's not wanting to activate,I even put in the different sales code that was explained in the "online instructions" and that didn't work, what's the next step to get it to work on page plus? Or can I change the system from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 so I can get it activated?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
You can go back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4. Now that you have a little experience flashing go to my thread and just substitute and flash NC5 4.4.2 with odin here is the link http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 now once you flash NC5 you will back to stock so you will have to root again, but that's half the fun right !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hollenbeck8477:
I'm sorry for the late reply, I checked out the thread and downloaded the file from this link "Full stock tar.md5 files for MJ4, NAB, NC5 and NH7 here.", so I'm just double checking to make sure I'm right cause I didn't see one exactly 4.4.2 and I downloaded another one "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5.crdownload" "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.zip"

so wich file should I use and wich file should I download, I know how to flash now thanks to you but the fear not knowing the whole concept alwaysmakes me double question everything,thank you so much again lol I hope this thread helps other peopl in the future.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Yes "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.zip" is 4.4.2 . Just download file and then extract it to your desktop that will change it from a zip file to a .tar file and then it will be ready to flash with odin.

N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5 is a computer generated numeric representation of the "N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.zip" file. The md5 file is only a few KB's in size, it is used the check the .tar.zip file if there is a problem. The 4.4.2 NC5 .tar.zip should be about 1.42GB to 1.5GB in size .
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Drisc0:
So I've been having issues with battery drain and want to upgrade to a new firmware/version of android. My phone has been rooted/unlocked since I got it so I haven't been able to install any OTA updates. I just did s-off and super cid and now want to figure out which firmware I need to upgrade to. From what I understand I have to flash firmwares in order? I'm currently on Android 4.4.2, Software number 1.12.502.18, bootloader 3.16.0000, baseband 1.14.21331931. What firmware do I need to flash first if I want to get up to the latest firmware and Android 4.4.4? If I'm supercid/s-off do I still have to flash the stock recovery? I just want to make sure I have all the right information before flashing anything. I'd like to get ready for lollipop and might upgrade to a custom rom on a newer version of android.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Boot into bootloader, and write down what it says...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Please state what you have tried. I would suggest running the 2.23 att ruu,backup your stuff on internal memory because itll wipe it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Drisc0:
Under firmware there isn't a version listed. I think it has something to do with TWRP - I've seen it mentioned around the forums.

I haven't tried anything yet, I wanted to make sure I was getting all the information right before I start flashing things that could brick my phone. I'll give that a shot.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Make sure you backup pics music etc to computer,download the 2.23.502.3 ruu,rebootphone in fastboot usb mode,run the exe... Will flash to latest 4.4.3 build and test that first is my suggestion,4.4.4 wont be available till mid december@official att build
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narosu:
Hi,

I got a Z1 compact and I need to remove the Simlock to use a SIM card from another carrier.

After reading a lot of other posts I'm assuming that I need to unlock the bootloader to do that.

The problem is, that the service info says that the bootloder unlock is not allowed..

Is there any possibility to unlock the bootloader anyway?

Thank you for any helpful answers.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to unlock the SIM. Those are 2 different unlocks.

Hi I have a L720 and made him sprint sim unlock, I'm using it in Argentina with the "claro" position the company APN and it works, sign up both 2G and 3G and the mobile internet works fine. however my question is this, in the menu of this phone does not let me change mode, GSM / UMTS network can not choose one or the other, I can only make it automatic, it is not a stock ROM that lets me choose 2G or 3G. can this be changed? or stays like this forever? I need to use that in my area 2G 3G works very poorly and do not come calling me ..

from already thank you very much.
[Frameworks] jazee:
I'm wondering, based on experience witch of these people would recommend for mobile app development. (Please mention which of these you actually have experience using.)

I'm an "old school" developer and am proficient in PHP/PERL, HTML, CSS and Javascript. I don't have time to learn a new language like C# and I refuse to use Microsoft's tolls (like .NET, Visual Studio, etc.) but I would spend the time maybe to pickup up RUBY (or maybe Java) if enough benefit was there in the associated mobile app development tool.

I want as close to native as possible with 90%+ cross-platform solution, meaning, 5-10% of the source code may differ due to differences in platform. I will only be developing for Android and IOS (sorry Windows) but may develop for Windows Down the road. Some apps I may develop may be enterprise class that need to get remote data from SQL Server, etc. I have done research and narrowed down my selection and am looking for further insight from those that have actually used these tools. Things that are also important to me include:

- Low cost (I can't afford to pay $100+ a month in fees)

- Good/Large Developer Community

- Good Support from Maker (good roadmap with improvements, bug fixes frequent, etc.)

PhoneGap - This seems like the most popular but it sounds like the "quickest" route for most web developers that are familiar with HTML and Javascript/CSS but to me it sounds like I might want something that is closer to native being that my primary core knowledge has always been as a coder first, and a web developer/designer second.

Appcellerator Titanium - This seems like the other most popular tool that claims to compile so the app uses the devices native controls (via Titanium API) instead of essentially an HTML page masquarading as an app (like PhoneGap) My gut says this one suits my situation better than Phonegap. Why do people use PhoneGap instead of this, because it's easier for non-programmers?

RhoMobile Rhodes - I am wondering how this compares to the two above assuming I learn RUBY on Rails.

Telerik Icenium (now called AppBuilder) - This one I have found the least discussion about.

I just ran across Codename One too which sounded intriguing as would require me to learn Java.

It seems most everyone (that isn't doing native) is using PhoneGap or Titanium and the second two are lesser known so I'm having a hard time finding people that has at least some brief experience using all four or five of these.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
[Frameworks] espacepub:
Both Phonegap and Appcelerator compile into a native package containing a mix of native and javascript and with both you develop your code using Javascript. As you've pointed out, one of the key differences is that Appcelerator will use the native device OS widgets rather than web widgets. In simple terms the layout is abstracted into an XML format which is then rendered into native equivalents during compilation for each of the platforms.

Depending on your application, native widgets may be important, or not. For example if you're developing a game then it could actually be advantages not to use the native widgets and have an essentially identical look and feel across all device platforms and screen aspect ratios.

The other difference is that Phonegap is free, (though their optional build service is not). Appcelerator is priced on a monthly subscription, but you also get some cloud features included in that.

Other popular cross platform tools to check out: Xamarin (native widgets, C# development, non-Free), ReactJS (native widgets, Javascript development, free-open source)
[Frameworks] Gal92:
You can also try using Ionic and Cordova frameworks, They support cross-platform development and in my opinion have good documentation support

since 2 weeks ago, my phones data would cut off randomly and change between having 2-3 bars to 4-5 bars. having full bars gave me no data, while having 2-3 bars did. its very annoying, and i don't know what to do. ive also notice when having more then 3 bars on the signal icon, while trying to transfer data, the arch's that appear showing that its sending signal on the 4glte icon would act funny, and not completely present all 3 arch's before switching sides.

[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
I pretty much agree with everything you say, and would add that my Gear S tracks my exercise, especially my runs: I now know distance, speed, heart rate, etc. without having to run with my Note 2, which does nit fit in any of my pockets, and required a waistpack (very sexy).

As stupid as it sounds, I also appreciate the hourly reminders that I need to move! My work is sedentary.
[Samsung Gear S] squeakywipers:
Appreciate your review, and the fitness and telecommunication functions are really the strengths of the Gear S.

Just something funny I noticed: if the limited functions of an electronic device is forcing you to be more involved with family/friends/coworkers, then it is not doing its job ?
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
I changed my keyboard to one of the compact keyboards. That seems to work the best for me on text input.

I agree with your review as well. Just the convenience of feeling like I'm reachable without having to be so "concerned" about where my phone is makes life so much better. My kids can reach me any where, and given that my oldest is a new driver, that is extra important to me. The girls almost always call me when I am at the barn with the horses. So nice to be able to answer their call and still have both hands free to handle my 1200lb animals.
[Samsung Gear S] MrAwesome75:
I agree with pretty much everything said here; including the limitations of Google services. I've been a big fan of a lot of the Google services the last few years especially Google Now. THough I am able to receive Google Now notifications, I can't do a Google search like I can on my phone. I get a Google Now notification for weather or traffic every 5 minutes. This is not only redundant, annoying and unnecessary, it is also a battery killer, so I turned that off.

The only other thing I wish it could do is respond to Google Hangouts. My wife and I have been very heavy Hangouts users the last couple years since we can message each other on our computers at home or work and switch seamlessly between our computers, phones and tablets. With the watch, I can read her incoming messages, but I can't respond to them until I am able to get my phone out or get back to my desk. I am hoping that Samsung or a third party implements this very soon. There actually is a Gear app that supposedly does this, but it cost me $1.49 and I couldn't get it to work.

This is my first smart watch. I was going to get the Moto 360 or the LG G Watch R before the Gear S came out. Therefore, I have no hands-on experience with any other watch, I think if some of the Google services could be implemented into the Gear S, it would be the best smartwatch on the scene. All I think it needs is Google search and the ability to respond to Google messages (Gmail and Hangouts).
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
This app works just right for hangouts. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.gear.notificationsgears
[Samsung Gear S] MrAwesome75:
That's the app I used. It was $1.49 four days ago. Does it work better now than it did last week? I noticed the rating is higher than it was when I first got it as well. I would be happy to pay for it, if it works, but I just ran out of time and patience.
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
It must. I have no problems replying to hangout messages.
[Samsung Gear S] MrAwesome75:
Thanks. Maybe I'll try it again.
[Samsung Gear S] gingerdude:
Been using this also, had maybe 2 recent updates to the app. It's not perfect but works 95% of the time for me using voice dictation to reply to wharsapp messages etc. Worth the money.
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
thanks for the info about that app. I just got it myself. I was looking for a way to reply to hangouts also as I will be changing over to my google voice number as my main number. I wanted to still be able to replay to hangout messages. Thanks for this

Can the Gear S stream from some music streaming app to a pair of bluetooth headphones without your phone? I would find this really handy at the gym.

NVM. Found the thread addressing this.
[Samsung Gear S] MrAwesome75:
Yes. Without a phone, You can store music on the Gear S and connect bluetooth headphones. You can also stream Milk music from the Gear S with the Gear S version of Milk music installed.

With your phone connected, you can control the music or podcast on the phone from the Gear S when they are connected via bluetooth.
[Samsung Gear S] alhadee12:
Since the Gear S has it's own number from what I've read is there anyway to link it with my primary number?
[Samsung Gear S] MrAwesome75:
I don't know what you mean by "link it with my primary number."

When your phone and watch are in range they are connected via bluetooth, so any calls notifications, etc, will be from the phone over bluetooth. When they get out of range, the phone will automatically forward your calls to the Gear S. If you turn off call forwarding and bluetooth, the Gear S can act as a completely independent device with it's own phone number.

The Gear S also has Wifi connectivity and all of these connections can be turned on or off and configured differently in settings.

I'm still trying to figure out how it all works together and how to make it do what I want. SOmetimes it will not do what I think it should and I can't figure out why. For the most part all of this is automatic and it all works pretty well, though.
[Samsung Gear S] alhadee12:
What I meant by "link", will it use the phone number of my phone. I've come to learn some of the things you stated. It uses my phone line when connected via Bluetooth. Once it's put of range it uses its assigned phone number.
