Hotspot on different carrier?

I wonder if there are any problems using the mobile hot-spot aka tethering function when the phone is unlocked and being used abroad with another carrier? I read that it is disabled using some of AT&T's dataplans, but I don't know how it's technically done.
[Galaxy S6 Active] ap27:

[Galaxy S6 Active] BlueCider:
Unlocking

I'm looking to get the 64GB version of this phone and get it unlocked.

Going the AT&T Route, I can of course order it on that site, create a 'Non Contractual Account', wait 14 days(Buyer's Remorse), and then go to the site and request unlock code, then unlock the phone.

But lots of people here seem to be saying you can simply go to Best Buy, pick one up and immediately go to the AT&T Link and get an unlock code immediately and unlock the phone.

How true is that? No buyer's remorse or any crud like that?

AT&T won't give you a hassle because you don't have it activated on their network, with account?

AT&T told me I can only unlock the phone if it is connected to the AT&T network.

I asked because I wanted to unlock it in a different country.

Can you guys help out and clarify above?

FYI, doesn't look like Best Buy sells the 64GB version

Is there anyone that is on EE with the S6 and uses WiFi calling?

I've been using it for almost a week now and I'm finding it hit and miss, the symbol comes and goes and some texts don't send even though I'm apparently connected via WiFi calling....my broadband is stable so I know that's not the cause.

Thanks

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] riot1031:
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. After the latest Sense Home update, my phone has slowed down when returning to the home screen or opening the app drawer. When I unlock my phone, it takes about two seconds before before the launcher or home screen widgets appear. They used to appear instantaneously. Also, when I go to open the app drawer I see the spinning circle for 2 or 3 seconds before app icons appear. Did this happen to anyone else?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quentinfk:
I loaded the settings.apk onto my Fire Stick and was able to connect both a keyboard and mouse via Bluetooth. The Keyboard works decently enough, sometimes has some start up stutter but extended use it goes well enough.

The mouse, however, is terribly choppy and laggy. I move it and it doesn't move for about 2 seconds then pops up elsewhere on the screen. It's incredibly annoying to click anything as I have to wait to see where it ends up and slowly move it towards the thing I want to click.

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and is there anyway to fix it?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flyboynm:
My wife and I are considering going to Mexico for a year. We both have out-of-contract Samsung phones - a S4 and Note 3. Do we have to root them to be able to use a Mexican cell phone provider or can we just change out the SIM? I have found conflicting info on this and would like an ultimate, correct answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gellybelly:
I also have an S4 with Verizon and currently live in Mexico (Tijuana). I bought my S4 from ebay unlocked, and what you need to do is purchase a SIM card from either TELCEL or MoviStar. I use Telcel myself, its good service. You then would have to load the number with money, just go to any store that does reloading, "recargas" and give them amounts in Mexican Pesos, from 20-500 pesos. Sometimes you are given a certain amount of "bonus" time for different uses, be it minutes, texting, etc. Be careful though, if you use internet alot it also goes against your minutes IF your Free 1 mb is used up. If you want to get more info you can go to http://www.telcel.com .

Once you have the sim card and phone number you can also register with telcel (Mi Telcel) and from there check usage, add internet, add phone numbers (free no charge to 3 phone numbers), etc.

if any other questions feel free to ask

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val3r10:
Apologize for possible OT, but I can't find an always working (and stable) SSH daemon app for the Zenfone2's Lollipop

This is what I tried, any of them PAID apps:

QuickSSHd - too old, not even starts

SSHDroid Pro - sometime starts, only first time after reboot, but only without root and higher ports (>1024)

RRooted SSH/SFTP Daemon - always refusing connections

Ssh Server Pro (olive tree) - seems promising, but very poor of binaries

The Dropbear service hanging issue seems the root of this problem

Thanks for any hint

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfdude:
Hi,

I followed the following guide which you can get from googling "Compiling-Dropbear-for-a-Nexus-7-tablet". Sorry, I can't post any links yet as my post counts are still below 10 ;)

The difference with the info from the website above is that we don't need to cross compile if you're compiling in a Linux x86-64 system. Just need to make a static binary.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help out.

Cheers.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val3r10:
Thanks for your answer.

Sorry but I can't get the exact entry-point, bypassing all the NDK / X-compiling stuff, as we're on a x86_64 architecture

Referring to the "simplified" version of your link (here: https://nerdoftheherd.com/articles/cross-compiling-dropbear-rsync-android/ ),

how should I compile the Dropbear source ?

Something like this ?

./configure \
--disable-zlib --disable-largefile --disable-loginfunc --disable-shadow --disable-utmp --disable-utmpx --disable-wtmp \
--disable-wtmpx --disable-pututline --disable-pututxline --disable-lastlog \
CFLAGS='-Os -W -Wall -fPIE' LDFLAGS='[COLOR="Red"]-static[/COLOR] -fPIE -pie'

... right before make-ing ?

Thanks for any further hint in the right direction
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfdude:
Hi,

I didn't refer to that site you have posted BUT that site does have a link at the bottom to the site where I followed.

From that site, what I did was :-

1) Download dropbear v58 (dropbear-2013.58.tar.bz2). I know this is older but the patch available is based on this version.

2) Download patch (dropbear-patch2) from that site.

3) Apply patch to the original dropbear (v58) source.

4) Run configure :-

./configure --disable-zlib --disable-largefile --disable-loginfunc \

--disable-shadow --disable-utmp --disable-utmpx --disable-wtmp \

--disable-wtmpx --disable-pututline --disable-pututxline --disable-lastlog

5) Run make :-

STATIC=1 MULTI=1 SCPPROGRESS=0 PROGRAMS="dropbear dropbearkey scp dbclient" make strip

6) You should end up with "dropbearmulti" which is a static binary that you can then copy over the the phone & go on from there.

There are some issues with that version of the code (v58+patch). Namely the "scp" doesn't work (but I have found the offending code in scp.c and found a workaround).

Let me know if you need more details. If I have some time, I might look at getting the latest dropbear version & working out a patch for it to get it to work on android x86.

Cheers.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val3r10:
Yes of course. The main link you weren't able to post is:

http://blog.xulforum.org/index.php?post/2013/12/19/Compiling-Dropbear-for-a-Nexus-7-tablet

Actually that procedure seemed too complex as mostly dealing with the cross-compiling issue, which didn't apply to x86 case.

So I named the derivative one

Thanks for pointing out the static compiling is done within MAKE and not CONFIGURE phase... I'm quite newbie in those flags so I do appreciate any of your words

About issues, what about using the latest v67 for Dropbear sources ? (see here)

If the patch doesn't work for such different version, I guessed commenting out the interactive password line would be enough

I'm trying to compile it this way and - for instance - replace the binaries in one of the SSHD packages I named in the OP...

Thank you again for your time
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfdude:
Hi,

Yes, the patch for v58 does not work for v67. I think one just have to go through the patch and "adjust" it slightly for the newer v67. Hopefully there isn't much changes from v58 to v67. There may be more than just commenting out the password prompt as there are certain functions that don't work in Android as in *NIX. When I have some time, I will attempt to patch v67 meanwhile, I'm running v58 fine on my ZE550ML so no complains there.

Cheers.

Do you think the same process (STATIC build, of course, not patching) could be likely used for other small binaries too ?

I just purchased this phone two days ago, I'm starting to have second thoughts about it, with the constant freezing, not being able to manually take the battery out during a system freeze, and the constant overheating. I'm not a newb or a rookie, but ive read plenty of postings and threads telling me about a custom recovery.

I tried installing twr through odin...3 times. Then i tried twice with the flashify, rashr,rom manager,twrm apk's. To no avail. Im fully rooted just having a hell of a time strappin a recovery on. Any suggestions? And this bloatware is smothering me on this phone. Haha!

You didnt unlock your bootloader, it hasn't even been achieved yet. So there is no recovery made for the Verizon or att Galaxy s6. Be very careful with what you messing with before you fully brick your phone. The only thing we can have now is root and a couple roms that can be flashed with Flashfire
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] deliberate.dev:
I never used an unlock code to unlock the bootloader, but I unlocked it somehow. I also unlocked the bootloader to my straight talk s3 and there aren't even codes for them yet. Anyway, Ill just stick with plain old root for now, and thanks for the concern about bricking, Im a pro when it comes to avoiding a hardbrick, given the exception of one phone and i knew what i did wrong.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] droidqwerty:
Yes, you can root 5.0.2. Do the cf auto root first. Once it boots, then you should have root. But it's not done yet. Do not reboot or turn off device as it won't be able to boot back yet. Go to play store and install flashify.

After that, extract the 5.0.2 firmware you flashed (rename and erase the .md5 extension at the end and you now have a .tar file, which can be extracted like a .zip or .rar.

Once extracted, get boot.img and recovery.img and copy them to your phone.

Then open flashify, locate those two images and flash them.

You should have root without any problem.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] droidqwerty:
First flash recovery.img. and renaming it wouldn't cause any harm. The file probably looks like this: something.tar.md5.

If you remove md5, then you have .tar file. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from it like you would from any .zip

I would like to clarify your instructinos.

1) I have A500FU with lollipop 5.0.2 (which i downloaded and installed with odin)

2) I download cf auto root for 4.4.4?? is that right?

3) I extract boot.img/recovery.img from the 5.0.2 tar file

4) install flashify and flash the above.

Also you mentioned I need to do 3,4 without reboot, coz it wont boot. What will happen if it reboots by mistake? WIll it need a kies restore? or even just a 5.0.2 rom flash?

thanks alot
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] droidqwerty:
If it reboots by mistake, then it would be stuck in kernel logo and the screen would become whitish and remain like that. It's because CF root from 4.4.4 installs old kernel. If this happens, press volume down, home and power key together so that your device turns off.

Then enter download mode to reflash the rom with odin.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] omicronxda:
Great thank you. I will try it today or tomorrow.
