[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daljitbanga:
Hi

Just brought my Mrs, A Tab 4 Wifi edition. I want to see if it is possible to bypass the three network block on tethering.

Just recently updated the Samsung S4 to lollipop.

What i would like to use is the phone as hotspot or internet sharing for the tablet.

i hope somebody has some ideas or has been able to do this.

thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
I don't think the operator can even see that you are tethering to your tablet.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daljitbanga:
I've tried every route possible, creating a wifi ir bluetooth hotspot,but not possible. Get message saying I cannot tether, need to purchase a add-on.

No add on available until I upgarde.

update: just tried her sim card in my s5 which is running Phoenix Rom, tethering working fine no message nothing.

she is running stock rooted android.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's likely the firmware was customized by Three to remove tethering. Your options?

1. Root and install a custom ROM.

2. Install the BTU Samsung firmware for the S4. BTU has no carrier branding or modifications.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daljitbanga:
I don't think changing the rom is a option coz she doesn't want to lose all her photos messages etc. Baiscally she has already TOLD me I'm not allowed to do that.

Is there anything possible I can do without changing the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Unless you want to pay for the tethering, there's no way I can think of other than changing ROMs.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You know you can back them up? And even so, if you flash a custom rom, then you won't wipe the photos.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daljitbanga:
Yea I know I can back them up and stuff it take some time though. You wonder if there was a work around like a exposed or hack or something.

Dear All:

Does anyone know how to customize the short cut inside the HTC Home plugin Launch Tab, I have trying very hard on changes the short cut, cut find no answer.

Regards,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zoharbl:
Hi,

The HTC Home launcher is limited to 9 application, so you need to delete one or more.

This is done in the following way:

1. select the lower rightmost icon marked with "x". Then you'll see all apps marked for deletion.

2. tap on the one you want to delete, and the location will become blank.

3. tap again on the "x" to unmark.

4. tap on the blank square (deleted location) and a pop-up screen with all application will come.

5. choose the appliction you want to assign to this square.

Good luck!

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayan210:
Hello !

I installed the 5.1.1 AOSP rom to update my 5.0 rom (AOSP too) by my TWRP recovery. I wanted to next flash SuperSU, but when i try to enter in recovery mode, i got this : "Secure booting error : Boot certification verify". I tried to reinstall the recovery, but i need to be rooted, and for being rooted, i need to flash SuperSU, so i'm stuck.

I can use my tablet perfectly, but i can't get to the recovery.

Thank you for your help !
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
What variant of the the G Pad 8.3 are you using? VK810, V500, V510? You HAVE to find out how to root first because without root, you can't flash a custom recovery. I only know rooting details for the VK810 and I'm guessing you have the V510 (GPE - Google Play Edition) since you say you're on AOSP already. I'm sure if it's rootable there's a thread in these sections about it for your variant. When a device is rootable, there's always an initial way to get there without flashing SuperSU, except possibly for Samsung when you can flash ODIN-compatible repackaged custom recoveries.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayan210:
I forgot to put it but i have a V500, i didn't had this problem when i installed 5.0 AOSP (firstly i had the LG stock ROM).

I saw that i can install TWRP with ADB, but it is for the GPE only :/
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you already had TWRP flashed then you've got some other problem going on. Maybe you have to downgrade the bootloader (aboot.img) in order to get into custom recovery on the V500? We do on the VK810. If that's the case then that means that somehow you had updated your bootloader since the last time you got into TWRP.

You might end up having to go back to square one, put whatever stock ROM on it that allows you to root it and install TWRP, ensure you can get into TWRP and the ROM fine, then flash whatever ROM you want. If the ROM you want doesn't already have root capability baked in, such as current CyanogenMod builds do, then make sure and flash SuperSU from TWRP before you exit out of custom recovery.

All the time i am taking pics with rare camera having 10mp resolution only.

And the pictures taken with front camera having 3.8mp resolution only.

Why? Is there any settings that i don't know, as i am taking pics in high quality mode.

:confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] sharan.nyn:
Just change the camera frame from 16:9 to 4:3 standard :)

Its because of the camera frame 16:9 is wide that is why the 3.8mp but 5mp is squarish so 4:3

[LG Optimus G Pro] frosthawk:
I bought this LG E980 AT&T model (v20G) and I installed E988 stock 4.4.2 OTA ROM (.kdz method) given by sandyiscool in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2754294

it was successfully installed until i realized there's alot of modem problems i.e. my 3G would show up but would run very slow as compared to other phones using same carrier.

So now I wanted to revert back to Stock ROM E980 (.tot method), but as soon as i put my phone in download mode and plugged into the PC, LGFLashTool gave me the error "Bin model is different" and then got red and failed to install Stock ROM. I think the download mode model has been changed to E988 while i was installing its OTA Rom.

Is there any way to revert this download mode back to E980 model. I tried both E988 and E980 .dll files for .tot flashing tool but both gave same error. I can only find E980 TOT files and cant find E980 AT&T v20g .kdz file anywhere (I think that may solve my problem if i find it). Please provide a solution to let me revert back to E980 OTA rom. I'd be really thankful.

I'm evaluating MDM system which says that relays on Android system mechanisms to detect root.

1. Does this mean SELinux policies or any API for that?

2. How exactly daemonsu binary work? If I understand corectly it start with system by some hook, and by another registers channel to communicate with su binary. Do I understand this process correctly? If yes what exactly are those hooks?

I renamed /system/xbin/su and busybox to my own names. But there is

which won't work if I rename it. I have read that it's due to pass SELinux filters. But I want to rename it, is there source of it avalible anywhere or option to rename some symbols? As far as I understand linux we can remove privileges from daemonsu, but stat call on it will beahave different privileged aplications

Please don't forward me to Xposed or backed apk's for this purpuses, I want to understand mechanisms behind this.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Can't think of anything other than a loose internal connector. If you are more or less continuously typing with no long gaps then the light should not go off - even if it does then as soon as you type a letter it should come back on.

I would not try opening up or anything, before doing a hard reset - just to rule out a software issue. If you have lots installed then make a full backup first saves much time re-installing everything.

When you use hardware keyboard in Hermes, an input method is still set to the last used value.

I have notified that when I have input method set to 'Remote Keyboard' (a part of TranCreative software) there are no blacklight blackouts. Recently I was on holidays and set input method to standard 'Keyboard' and this is when this all begin.

Can any one confirm that?

If this is true - we know at least that this is software bug...
