[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony556:
Hello XDA-ers!

I have an old Verizon Note 4 that just got out of the contract payment, and now want to give it to a friend who is off in Canada! His current carrier is Wind Mobile (which based on frequencycheck.com and their site, uses UMTS AWS-1 (1700/2100) ).

I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my Note 4, and even got Cyanogenmod (what I am running now) working on it. I went through the thread on the Samsung S5 XDA forum to unlock additional 3G and LTE bands, but had dubious results (the first LTE NV section didn't persist after reboot while the second one did.)

After all of that, I popped in my friend's T-Mobile SIM Card/my mother's Project Fi SIM, and LTE worked! LTE Discovery said it was on Band 4, so I thought all was well! Until I tried to make a phone call. One of two things would happen when I would make a call based on what settings I messed with (mentioned below in the *#*#4636#*#* menu): It would either say "Dialing..." forever, or start making short high-pitched beeps before hanging up while saying "Call Ended."

According to LTE Discovery, there was no GSM network it was attached to. And when I tried to change the cell network in the *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone settings -> Preferred network or the Settings -> Cellular Network -> Network Type (LTE, GSM, etc) to something relating to WCDMA/GSM, it would just go back to the previous one I had chose/a similar one that did not have either of the two (exceptions to this were some with LTE, then Global and the ones with a lot of networks).

If someone could please guide me through these last few steps, I'd be so happy!

Thanks in advance,

- Tony

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] justinxfan:
I'm not a Note7 owner but looking at these posts, I'm concerned that so many people, especially XDA users do not want to return their phones. There's a reason Samsung recalled the phone and is pushing these limitations on you. It's for your own safety and the people around. You can barely bring it anywhere anymore, and if it actually does explode in your face, or injures an old lady on the bus, what are you going to do?

You can keep fighting if you want. Pretty soon, Samsung is going to block all the Note7's. They're going to force the battery to limit. They're going to blacklist the IMEI's. They've already started doing it. You can't keep fighting Samsung much longer.

I know that there are stubborn people here who think that Note7's are safe. Yes, it hasn't overheated yet. Yeah okay it doesn't get warm. Cool, your phone functions perfectly fine. But I don't think you're going to be thinking the same if it explodes.

I don't care that you can't find an alternative phone. I don't care if you think you're smart enough to get around Samsung's blocking tactics. I don't care if you think that your phone is safe! It's potentially unsafe and could cause death or damage! Please guys, please return your Note7 phones. It's not worth the fight anymore.

If you have things to say, or you want to tell me why I'm wrong, feel free to post below.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] van0014:
These phones do not explode, they catch fire. You cannot demand anybody to give up any of their possesions regardless of how dangerous they can be. Understand that it is possible to responsibly own such a phone. It is possible to keep them in safe environments, negating these claims.

The phone is a unique piece of hardware. Owning it doesn't even mean using it or turning it on. It's value could increase in a few decades. Of course there are a number of reasons for and against owning these phones and it is nobody's place to dictate to anyone what they should do with the hardware they purchased. Talented people can even completely fix the electrical issue causing the fault, such as electrical engineers. Such a professionally repaired phone would be perfectly valid to use.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
Thanks I like your points however you are siding with Samsung against us the users. You could have tried to figure out why we are so persistent on keeping n7, knowing all the risks. Samsung takes 1100$ from us like it is drinking water, easy peazy in matters of seconds. Yet to get that refund back it takes a month for them to process and more in some cases. I want to return my phone and probably will but i have to be out of Phone for a month or more. You obviously dont care if I m without phone because obviously you care about Samsung more. But for us living a month without our smartphone is not trivial yes doable but not trivial. Anyway this is just my view nd i may be wrong but i know for sure not everyone has the right answer lol.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikesaa309:
I've read a few articles on why we should return the note 7, one article calling people who keep the note 7 idiots as there are just as good phones on the market. Except there isn't. The whole reason I brought a galaxy note in the first place was the S-pen a feature only available to the note series. I had a note 4 prior to the note 7 (note 5 never came to UK) so for me it's a pretty big upgrade and have skipped all other phones prior to the note 7 to wait for a new note phone. Now some people probably just brought the note 7 because it was one of the best devices of 2016, maybe they liked the design or even features like the Iris scanner but probably not really so much for the S-pen. I assume most people on XDA at least have a note 7 mainly because of the S-pen else we would gladly return the note 7 for something else but quite frankly the note 7 has one of the best designs, pretty decent camera tho I think the pixel slightly beats it now with it's HDR+ and most of all it has the S-pen.

So until the note 8 comes out or the S8 edge plus or something with an S-pen I'll gladly keep hold of my note 7 and continue to use it pretty certain that now I've used it with a 3rd party charger etc and hasn't exploded so far it is very unlikely to explode or catch fire in the future especially seeing how quickly the reports were coming out before the note 7 recall.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] manavsharma875:
Hello everyone,yesterday i was trying to create swap memory for my rooted tablet using sd card.

I completed three partitions successfully fat32,ext3 and swap.

Then i installed busybox and used swapper...checked the option to create swap at bootup in swapper.

Everything was running well until i rebooted my tablet

It just crashed,now the tablet wont go in download mode nor does it shows the charging icon even if plugged for 4-5 hours.

I had purchased it in new Zealand so the warranty is not covered in india.service centre is not able to repair it even if i pay becuse they dont have the rom and spare parts for this model.I told them i have the rom they still dont agree.Is this a hardware problem or software issue ?

The only option for me would be to courier it to nz and then it would cost me 10000 rs in total..can anyone help me out.many of the repair personnel said they could do it for 3000 rs but i have this strong feeling that they would replace the original parts with fake chinese one even if they are in working condition.

If any one can give me a working procedure step by step and i am able to get my tab to work,i will be really thankful and gift 3000 rs in his/her bank account.

Tab is 9.7 spen Lte version

Thank-you

Maybe a bit longer.

If still no response then you may have to disconnect and reconnect the battery.

Are you sure you didn't format the internal storage? How did you format.

Also you didn't answer my query about Windows.

Also you're saying the device crashed. Are you certain it didn't actually just die because the battery was depleted?

I would certainly be trying a different mains charger before condemning the tablet.

model: XCU

becuse i try cm14.1 but it still in beta
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eduardo 6u9:
The AOSP rom is very stable and fast.

Never prove cm14.1, it is still stable, because even cm13 slows even with the passage of time. AOSP is the free Google code, unmodified or anything, we can say, it is the same Android Pure, more than cyanogenmod. AOSP 6.0.1 is the best for me, but hey, for the tastes the colors xD

[Security Discussion] PaulMr.T:
Hi All, Just a quickish query & any responses are appreciated. I recently moved from One M8 to Pixel XL & use Avast. My query is do I need Avast on new device ... I dont view 'adult' stuff, nor install 3rd party apps, Chrome set to protect from dangerous sites, Twitter app set to use Chrome not built in browser, I view XDA & AA on Twitter so will click links on any news that interests me, delete any email i receive in Inbox by Gmail which looks strange, Onefootball app I use and sometimes will click links to any site that a story is contained in, I do use Avast on laptop when transferring anything audio to phone prior to transfer & finally I do have my banking app on phone. Basically with this behaviour do I need Avast or can I ditch it?

Thanks in advance
[Security Discussion] NeoChontrix:
IMO the only use case would be using Avast to detect mitm attacks on public WiFi, but it is not even close to reliable...

You should use a VPN on public WiFi's so you don't have to care about anyone sniffing/modifying traffic.

All in all I would see no point in using avast, since Antivirus systems under android are completely powerless when it comes to any attack that uses an exploit that doesn't need any user interaction (e.g Stagefright).
[Security Discussion] PaulMr.T:
Ah, Thanks for the reply, I don't use Public WiFi as usually dead slow let alone secure, I have MMS not set to download automatically & I do let use WhatsApp for example so I should be good to ditch? My main concern was due to mobile banking but it's via app and not browser so would presume safe?
[Security Discussion] PaulMr.T:
Do not use WhatsApp I meant, for example.
[Security Discussion] PaulMr.T:
Anyone else have info to add, it seems I could lose Avast and stay pretty safe?
[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
it's true their antivirus is limited as only scans user apps which should normally be safe anyhow thanks to Google scanning them, though there may be times when Avast beats Google to identifying a vulnerably. But they also offer web shield, that might save you one day (depending on he browser you use). So for me I will always run something like Avast. I know some will take the piss out of me ...... but that don't brother me! :D
[Security Discussion] mrrocketdog:
"thanks to google scanning them"???? google is a virus. just my ¢.02.

if you want security on public wifi get ArpGuard from play store , i use it .

[Security Discussion] LilAnt530:
The honest may stay honest.

But the criminal may seek a challenge in which case I always try to seem as defenseless as possible and it has been years since I can even remember using AV protection on Windows for anything lol.

To the OP :D

95% of how well your defense is against an attack is all about common sense before anything then probably the last 5% would be how much take you prefer to have on the software end....

Firewalls and VPN/anononimity software is probably the best way to steer clear from anything landing its way onto your devices that you do not want there!
[Security Discussion] iwanttoknow:
[MENTION=6772977]kushfighter2[/MENTION]

What is the goal of ArpGuard ?

Could you please explain it and give us concret examples based on your experience of this application ?

Thanks in advance.
[Security Discussion] kushfighter2:
Basically it combines a simple basic app that monitors your ARP table against attack.

When it is set to non root ,it simply disconnects the Wi-Fi and informs you about the attackers IP address.

The main reason I use it is because, unlike other apps which simply close the Wi-Fi connection, it has a pro feature at an acceptable price that prevents attacks like those from harming your device

It has 3 modes, non root, recovery and invulnerability

I have explained non root

Recovery informs you and blocks the attacks

Without cutting the Wi-Fi

Invulnerability does not even suffer attacks.

I suggest you try it.

But remember, if a person is using a spoof before you connected to the Wi-Fi, you cannkt detect it.

:D
