[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillerhippie:
I have a totally unlimited data plan but I am restricted to only 2gb of tethering (I can eat through 2gb in less than an hour. )

With my rooted note 4, is there any way / xposed module etc where I can get unlimited tethering without the network knowing?

Kind of sucks paying £40+ a month for unlimited data when it turns out it's not really unlimited.

Kind regards,

Chiller.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
with an unrooted note4 you could route everything through a home vpn. may not work with a rooted one depending on what vpn hardware you use.

my zyxel usg 300 vpn works great with my note 4 but it needs an unrooted phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirojgamboa:
A great app to use is Klink. Klink goes for about $5 on the app market, and rooting is not required to run. The only requirement to tether is having the klink program running on your Pc or Mac. The app bypasses your tethering setting and connects you strait to your unlimited data. I've been using the app for about 2 years and used around 1tb of my Sprint unlimited data. It's the best $5 I've ever spent. I recommend trying the demo first.

Hmm, not really what I'm after. I want to use it while out and about (in the car for example) so my daughters tablet can go online / netflix etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mty msi:
I don't know if it works with a rooted phone or how it'd work with your carrier, I use FoxFi/PdaNet on AT&T in the U.S. but I have to physically USB tether my phone to my laptop. Some of the other U.S. carriers haven't blocked FoxFi/PdaNet's mobile hotspot capabilities. There is a free app to try it.

It has Mobile Hotspot, Bluetooth & USB tether options but I can only use the USB tether option in the car.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darekz:
Try pda net from play store. If you want to use it with another tablet it may work. Nowadays carrier got smarter and they for certain data packets but since you want to use it with another mobile browser and mobile netflix it may work
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I realise that you might already have the answer to this. I am on three, no root, stock. I created a new apn called three, put the apn as three.co.uk

i then used adb to send "settings put global tether_dun_required 0"

rebooted, now im using about 50gb a month, free
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillerhippie:
Ooh now this sounds interesting. Will it be possible to do without using adb?

You might be surprised to hear, in all my time rooting and messing about with phones, I've never used adb directly.

Is there a file or a string I can simply modify? I decided to root my phone a month or so back because I've already been told, they don't care if it's rooted at my local samsung galaxy store!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
with root

For rooted phones, try this, i didnt root mine to achieve what I wanted.

Install a SQLite editor such as SQLite Debugger

Using the SQLite editor, navigate to the file /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db (this is the part that requires root)

Enter the database global

Change the value of field tether_dun_required to 0.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillerhippie:
Did it.

Works perfectly!

Thank You so much!

When I lived in UK, I used giffgaff which ran on O2 and it had unlimited download. I used to watch netflix every night without any hiccup. Qith your trick, it could be well qorth it. You might want to try it out unless they have changed their tariff now to limited or capped.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Only three offerr truly unlimited data and are transparent in the way which they sell it. giffgaff dont offer truly unlimited, neither do virgin (got their hands slapped)

Even the new announced unlimited data sim from talk talk lets them decide what constitutes unlimited.

three for the win (cheesey I know)

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koysii:
I'm on three as well and just bought a Nexus 6P. I do not want to root it and have unlimited data plan. I used to use WiFi tether on my Note 3 but that app doesn't work on the 6P. Can you explain to me as simply as you can how you did this adb? What is adb is it an app on the playstore? I've searched and quite a few came up but most say the phone needs to be rooted.

If I create this apn and somehow get tethering to work on my unlimited data and not to take data off my allowed allowance of only 4GB/month. Would I be able to use data normally on the phone on a day to day basis on this new apn, or would I need to switch every time I want to tether and then switch back? And use the stock tether/hotspot method instead of these tethering apps?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This does not work on lollipop. I had limited success on Android 5.0. Seems this workaround only works on kitkat…(for me anyway)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travr6:
I tried this it and it is still not working.

I have Kitkat 4.4.4

I changed the value to zero.

When I go to turn on the hotspot it still gives me the pop up saying I need a subscription.

Is there something else I need to be doing?

I am using FOXFI. I have also tried it with PDANET.

How do I get rid of the subscription check?

I am beyond frustrated with this thing. I have been trying to turn this into a hotspot for over a year now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockerdudelive:
When I manually switch between 3g and 2g it drops the signal completely. When i go from lte to 3g it doesn't drop the connection or give me any errors.

This drop is enough that when I'm in a building i almost always have to have 2g forced. If i have 3g and someone calls i usually drop to 2g, but doing so causes the call to drop instead of handing it off.

I've tried to google it and I've seen this a few other times but I've never seen a clear reason why? Does anyone experience this or know a solution? It's done it on different phones over the last few years. All android too.

Hi.

This video here is of an HTC Hermes with a weird keyboard issue which makes some letters (U,J,N) send more than one letter to the pda. I'm preety sure it's a hardware problem, because the problem was kept after flashing the device with a new rom. This Hermes was already sent for repair for this very same issue, and came back a little better (The same issue happened with I,K and M as well the last time :-P) so let's hope they do it right this time :rolleyes: .

Hi there!

I want to change my - I think - hardcoded IMEI into my chip qualcomm snapdragon 801 2,27 GHZ with android 4.4.4 and german decuro rom with root access onto.

But the threat -...de.robv.android.xposed.installer - and the app - ...com.vivek.imeichanger - don't work on my phone.

Does this -...qualcomm-snapdragon-imei-tamiri-ders-1 - work for me?

Or does someone know about a solution because I need them to see a simular IMEI from my nokia 3720 for my provider in my company.

It's actually illegal to change the IMEI, so we can't really help you with this. AFAIK though, there is currently no way to change the IMEI on the Mi3 without some expensive hardware.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
I tried s6 in store. There isnt much difference with note 4 lollipop. There is some small changes could be good for note 4 too. Like some buttons moved down tabs button on browser and all buttons in gallery etc.

In performance i saw no difference even s6 had stutters on animations. And they say camera launch very fast but it was pretty same with my exynos note 4.in night mode s6 is faster it was all.

And there is no multitasking button lag. Note 4 still has initial 0.5 sec delay if its your 1st press for while but later than if you keep spamming on both it was same speed app switches was faster on note 4.

And it was heating alot.(it wasnt on charge) dunno but it didnt feel very fast it was nearly identical with my exynos note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I guess it all depends on what apps are running already in the background. I've found on my Note 4 that a number of apps auto restart in the background which slows down the CPU performance. Sadly the only way to control apps restarting or refreshing in the background is to root and if you've just bought your phone, you're unlikely to want to root your phone and void the warranty.

I'm just hoping for a smoother feel. The new s6 TouchWiz was tested on the snapdragon chip but Samsung used their own chip like you said. This is a little worrying in respect of all previous models with snapdragon chips. Just have to wait and see I guess.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Background apps there for s6 too you cant avoid it. I dont see any slowdowns on my exynos note 4 lollipop. Dont expect alot of difference if you dont like current lollipop on note 4. Cuz s6 and note 4 was very similar on my test.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
The animations on the S6 are smoother and better looking overall I don't get how people can't see them lol...From my point of view it does look really fast and better than the current Lollipop build on our Note 4 devices.Let's hope we get the new UI it would really benefit the note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Well they are not, even it has animation stutters. Better looking maybe but definetly not smoother tried on like 4 different phones all had stutters generally. It could be cuz pre relaese software its ok but how do you have the idea its faster and smoother while its definetly not atm atleast not from exynos note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
I looked at some review of the phone and it looked smooth, I agree that I did see some small stutter but it isn't that noticeable.I am not saying that my note 4 SD isn't smooth but the S6 looks smoother to me.Also look at how the dialer opens fast as well as contacts and some other stock apps.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
i dont know lollipop on sd but exynos note 4 was alot smoother on kitkat. dunno how is the difference now but s6 and exynos note on lollipop is very very similar on performace atleast for now. i dunno vids i tried myself. dialer and contacts were same loads under 0.5 sec generally for both so its instant mostly
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
Well maybe because you have Exynos.Still, although I am satisfied with the performance of my note 4, I would like the new UI on it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
yes cuz it definetly fits better on big screen. ui looking is similar but animations abit different. it will come eventualy but they should make note 4 lolipop perfect 1st.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
It's not the fact that I don't like lollipop on the Note 4, clearly we have to wait for the final release of 5.0.1 or even 5.0.2. The current versions are test versions and are not final. When the full roll out comes for the Note 4, we'll get a better comparison. Also the two phones use different chips so if you've got an exynos Note 4 then you have a better comparison to the s6 in terms of being in a level playing field. The hope is that the release of 5.1 on the Note 4 in Q2/Q3 will fix or reduce the stutter when opening apps.

One particular one I find takes a while is YouTube. On the s6, it opens up a lot faster.

Watch this YouTube video. Granted it's comparison of s5 vs s6 but the Note 4 lollipop vs s6 lollipop will be up soon over the next few months once the s6 is released and the Note 4 has its lollipop release. The video shows the lag on the s5, which is almost certainly a snapdragon version, against the exynos s6.

https://youtu.be/K4__rbWOGB4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
I also noticed that the S^ has a nice lock animation...I am really hopping that those unofficial rumors are true.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
youtube is broken by itself dont really say alot. but no doubt its faster than s5 there is a huge cpu difference. yes exynos note 4 is better rival for it. my note edge didnt get lollipop yet so i cant do a fair comparison but note 4 exynos on lollipop is very smooth no stutter etc.. and i think rollout for 910c started too its almost done.

snapdragon versions could need 5.1 update which fixed alot of performance problems for nexus 6 too. but we will see.
