Yep. Didnt help. Still no data service.

I restored my CM11 backup (which I planned to do anyways) and I get cellular data. But I am still baffled as to why the stock ROM doesn't get data. I would especially like to know for when I sell the phone and revert to stock ROM for the next owner.

I am going to try reflashing the stock ROM and see if it works. Will update shortly...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Yeah the dialer code can be used to reset data without customer care, but if you're on TW you can trouble shoot with customer care and you'll have no problems following the steps they would want you to do to troubleshoot

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tekniqal:
I tried wiping system, data, cache, dalvik and flashing [STOCK ROM][4.4] ND8 Kitkat ROM but still no cellular data.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickstang:
Dynamic Notifications works well. I've also tried snaplock which works well too. You can't set it to come back on like Dynamic unless another notification comes in. This is the only thing I don't like.

I tried Nils, Heads Up, Notific, etc. None of them seem to work on the lock screen. Couldn't get Nils to work at all, heads up works on the screen, but never got the lock screen to work. Tried Notific as well & nothing pops up on the lock screen.

The only two i've had luck with so far are snaplock & Dynamic. I haven't tried floatify yet.

I myself had the Moto X before I went to the Note 4 & I do miss that feature. I will try notify.

Snaplock looks much much better than Dynamic, but if you're after something that works like the Moto X then it's Dynamic as it isn't eye candy like snaplock.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinsb:
I know that xposed in combination with some modules should allow you to change some of the statusbar icon colours.....

What I'd ideally like.....

Battery Colour to change from Green to Yellow to Red at determined charge points.

Bluetooth Icon to be Blue

Wifi Network to be one set of colours

3G/4G Network to be a different set of colours

Probably a couple of others I can't immediately think of.

I've google and read over the last few days and while there are some modules that allow some features from the list above there seems little granularity (i.e. I can change ALL the statusbar colours in one module, but not selectively some...) or some don't allow the changes I want at all.

I realise after reading that some of the icons are app installed pics, rather then text graphics and you'd need to change the underlying pic to change the colour.....

But is there a way to do ALL that I want above?

If you're asking why it's simple.....when you're busy and in a hurry the human brain recognises cues from colours far easier and faster then from graphics...we've been wired that way for generations.

Using a root-enabled file manager (like ES file explorer), navigate to /system/etc/permissions

Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid=”media_rw” />

Save the changes to the file.

Definitely check out Viper for a serious boost in audio quality if you haven't already. The app is built into firekat but you need to install the audio driver from inside the app. There's an updated version here

I use Plex to stream movies/tv shows/etc from my computer to my note...the setup for that is kind of a pain since you have to install and configure plex on your computer but I use it across my note 3 note 10.1 and nexus 10 and it has full stop/resume support so if you've got a lot of movies on your computer it might be worth checking out :)

My friend has a stock S3 mini and is trying to use bubblebupnp to stream from his phone to his chromecast.

Bubble fails with this error:

chromecast error: failed to connect to google play services for casting NETWORK ERROR

I have searched but not found an answer.

Its stock rom, not rooted, so running ICS?

Youtube app casts fine using the cast button.

I updated google play services but same issue occurs.

I download allcast, but it did not find the chromecast, it just kept searching.

Have restarted and reset the chromecast several times, but it works fine with my phone, so it's something specifically with his phone.

Any ideas why bubble or allcast are not working.? Its the latest version of bubble, so it has to be someting on the phone itself..

Hi!

I have a XT1097 with 4.4.4 unrooted and with lock bootloader, so basically, I haven't touched the phone.

The first thing I did was to activate ART.

There are plenty of apps that are "forcing close" randomly. Some of them are "Spotlight" from Motorola (when I download some of the clips the app force closes and I have to open it again), Safer Taxi is another app, Amazon App is another.

I'm having this problems because I have activated ART? does anybody experiencing this kind of issues?

first off, im still using the older rom (1.20.305.3) as i-mate haven’t issued a newer one and probably wont since they have fallen out with htc. i am not sure how much better the new 1.3x roms are but my tytn seems to be getting more unstable with time. even after a few recent hard resets and only installing a handful of essential apps i am tired of the random crashing and odd behavior.

the device would randomly crash/lock up :( very frustrating as i end up losing important sms/phonecalls etc. my hardware keys randomly require me to press down hard (was 'w' key first few months. its fixed now but now the 'n' key has that problem). i have to realign the screen at least once a day.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cwaskey:
I'm looking for a way to use my "retired" HTC Incredible 4G (ADR6410LVW) as a GPS puck. It was my wife's phone for 2 years and the screen is cracked, the battery is in bad shape, the camera lens is smudged, and it's been mistreated by each of my children. So it's in pretty rough shape, but I got it for a good price, and it still seems to work.

Because my tablet (rooted Kindle Fire 1st edition - stock ROM) doesn't have an internal GPS, I need to tether it to the phone to get mock GPS coordinates for several mapping applications. For this purpose, the phone works with TetherGPS if both devices are on the same (external) WiFi.

The problem is that with the provided Mobile Hotspot app, the software won't allow a connection unless there is a data source (i.e. Verizon network). Since the phone is de-activated, no source exists, so the mobile hotspot won't turn on. I will be using this in vehicles far from WiFi and I have no plans to re-activate a phone just to get a GPS. Maybe there is a way to trick the app into thinking there is a data source, I'm not sure.

I've also tried Android WiFi Tether, but I run into permission errors on the phone, and it doesn't seem to be working. I've learned from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19935112&postcount=40) that I may need root access to use Android WiFi Tether.

I'd prefer not to root the phone if I don't have to, but if that's the only way, I'll do it. I learned from reading this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2214653) that IF I want to root my phone (and do a lot more which may or may not be necessary), I need to flash update 2.17.605.5. My phone already has firmware version 2.19.605.2, so if I was to go that route, I have no idea whether I should just do a factory reset, backload the old firmware, or what.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
You are correct that most non-carrier based WiFi Tether apps do require root. I tried experimenting with the app I use (WiFi Tether for Root Users) by changing my radio mode to GSM Only (i.e. mobile data is on, but not really going anywhere), and my laptop connected to the phone just fine.

Regarding rooting your phone, the thread you referenced for rooting is for older firmware. Since you're on 2.19.605.2, you will want this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2664460

Got My Rum - Now What?

Thanks for the link to the updated method. I was able to follow the instructions (with only minor detours) and got my rum. My phone is now showing S-OFF in the bootloader. However, when I reboot, I get a blank screen except the status bar on the top. When I switch to "Disk Drive", my files and such appear to still be intact based on browsing from my PC. But I can't see them on my phone.

How do I get back to a usable screen on my phone?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
That's an odd problem... Since you can get to your files via PC, I recommend backing up your files to your PC, then install a fresh RUU (older ones can be found here).

Installing the RUU will nuke all of your files and essentially make your phone "factory fresh", but you will remain s-off. (Once you're s-off, you should stay s-off pretty much no matter what you do, unless you intentionally make your phone s-on, but do not do that unless you really know what you're doing...).

After RUU, you'll need to install a superuser program (superuser or SuperSU) to (re)gain root.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cwaskey:
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it looks like those RUU files have been taken down.

I wonder if my problem started with the script from mdmower. I had to run it multiple times before I got it to work; it turns out two lines had to be run immediately after each other and I was waiting for the first to finish before typing in and running the second. I wonder if the second line did something that can be undone by re-running it with different options? I have no idea what ln or -s are. Here is the script I'm talking about.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cwaskey:
Back to square one

So my apps are re-installed on my phone, and Wifi Tether has root access, but I still can't connect my phone to my other devices. Neither my Kindle Fire nor my PC can see my phone's Wifi, whether the house Wifi is on or off. I tried installing the Wifi Tether on my rooted Fire and that also didn't allow me to connect the two devices.

So am I SOL - no tether without an internet stream? Is there another way to pass GPS coordinates from a de-activated phone to a wifi device? It seems like it should be such an easy thing to do.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
I would expect that your devices should see and be able to connect to your phone's WiFi tether, but they won't be able to go anywhere unless your phone has a mobile data connection.

Maybe with the device connected to the phone, you could use something like BlueNMEA or perhaps adapt GPSTether to work? (Both apps on Google play)

If you figure it out, please post how you did it, as others may be looking to do the same thing. Good luck!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cwaskey:
Still trying to figure this one out. I guess if it was easy, I wouldn't have learned so much along the way.

According to the Android-Wifi-Tether site (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/Setup_HTC_Desire_Incredible) the Droid Incredible is a special case. No mention of the Incredible 4G, so the workaround probably doesn't apply.

I guess I should try other Wifi tether apps and see if that's the problem.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wmuflyer:
Have you tried a custom ROM? I powered up my fireball last night with CM11 and I could connect my nexus 5 to it. I didn't get a chance to power up my old Nook Color to check if it shared location info. But it connected to the hotspot fine.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cwaskey:
Success!

I installed CM11 on the phone. It now creates a WiFi hotspot with no internet access that my Kindle can access, and allows me to TetherGPS. I had to re-install all my apps on the phone, but I think I got that straight finally. Both the built-in WiFi tether and the Android WiFi Tether app seem to work.

So it must have been a limitation with the original OS that was keeping it from working.

If you'd have asked me two weeks ago if I thought I'd ever hack into and modify an old cell phone, I'd have said no way. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way.
