it's set that way for ALL phones/carriers on gtalk. the only way to remove the restriction is to edit the android.gsf file in sqlite, but as far as i've searched the normal files to edit aren't on our SGS3.

See if this works.

I was able to do it on my HTC thunderbolt over 4g with verizon. Maybe because I was rooted, and someone edited the android.gsf file?

The files are there. I used root explorer to browse to the files then sqlite in order to edit 1 entry once edited your are golden.
Path: /data/data/com.android.gsf/gservices.db
In that file open the main table and edit gtalk_vc_wifi_only to false and then reboot

I didn't notice this originally but he might have made a typing mistake. On mine it is data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db <-that's the database you want to edit.

Verizon too?
Does anyone know if gtalk_vc_wifi_only is in a different location on Verizon phones?
When I filter for gtalk in com.google.android.gsf > gservices.db > main
I have about twenty records come up, but nothing resembling the wifi only setting.

This is great information. Thanks!
However, if I'm on mobile data and I'm trying video chatting with someone who is on their PC, it starts but then ends shortly after that and my friend's PC displays an error in their talk window that says there was a "problem with our servers". It happens on Chrome and IE. On my phone, it says that they ended the chat. On the other hand, if I'm on wifi, it works fine. Has anybody run into this problem?

For those of you on verizon, it works for me straight from stock, not limited out of the box. I have at least been able to do it on 4G, haven't tried 3G yet.

This works on all Verizon phones with OS 2.3.6 and up over 3G/4G & Wi-Fi. No root needed

Use a root file manager (such as Root Explorer), go to /etc and open gps.conf
Depend on where you live (I live in US so North America is good enough for me), add these as first lines:
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

[APK] Enhance Streaming Media on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3

This should work with Sprint users as well as those trying to flash it to another carrier. Sprint tries to route streaming media such as Youtube and Pandora through their own servers. This bypasses that. Please let me know if you have issues.
The great thing about this application is that it DOES NOT require the SPC to be punched in vs if you tried to access this area via ##data#.
Credit for the application goes to MagicalPhones. He told me to post this.

Will this work for any Rom?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

When I hit the "Open Multimedia Menu" ... the app closes. and nothing happens. I fixed permissions just in case still no go. I am on a AOSP rom, not the stock TW?

It's probably only required for TouchWiz based ROMs.

same thing happened to me running aokp rom. Yeah it must be only TW roms.

May be we need to be on a TW rom to do this change and then get back on an AOSP. Just like the PRL update thing. Just a thought.

If memory serves me correctly, in AOSP you can't access the dialer menus (i.e. ##3282#). If that's the case then this won't work on an AOSP. This app does the same thing if you go into the ##3282# menu and zero out the proxy sever settings. The nice thing is that with this app, you don't need to know what your MSL number is.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, aosp doesn't route multimedia through sprint's servers (only sprint based tw ROMs do this)... therefore, it isn't necessary on aosp ROMs

I see nothing but "NONE" in all my categories after picking Samsung Tools from this app. I don't have anything else. Are we supposed to see other settings?

This does the same thing as ##3282# /edit/others/multimedia and removing the proxies.

[Q] Google Wallet

does anyone have the latest Google Wallet apk? I found R87 floating on the net, but when I install and launch, I am told that it needs to be upgraded. I am on Verizon and rooted. I have run this app in the past without very many issues, but haven't run it in over a month. Any help appreciated.

After receiving the message that my version v1.5-R87-v15 was out of date, I was directed to the play store where I learned what the new version was but couldn't access it because because of the Verizon blockage. I have succeeded in finding the new apk and restoring Google Wallet by installing v1.6 R96 v13; however, my first install failed to function.

I found if you change 2 build.prop entries you can download direct from play store then set them back.

They have to select paypass/paywave as the payment method, they probably don't know what you are doing and did not have the reader activated..

I'm at work right now. Will try to see which ones when I get time. I know the entries are ro.product.name and ro.product.device . can't remember what to change them to though. You change them to the galaxy nexus device it works on think it's gsm version.

Sorry for the delay my Wife was in the hospital for half the night she's feeling better now. Well here the build.prop settings I changed.
ro.product.device=toro change from toro to maguro

This worked for me although this thread has the newest wallet and used it on my latest ROM change. If you change ROM's make sure you go to settings and reset google wallet app before you leave old ROM. Some are saying it will break Wallet if you don't.

[FLASHABLE ZIP] [v4.3] Switch ROMs among Tuna Devices // Android 4.4

Hello there. Recently, I have seen many people with Tuna devices(especially Toroplus and Toro) want other variants' ROMs. Most are available for all three variants, but some are not or have delays. Thankfully, some people edit the ROM zip files and upload them so that the folks with another variant can use it daily. But, this way of editing needs some time to download, edit, and upload.
I wanted to reduce the time, so I made a simple flashable-zip file.
How it works:
It deletes most of the unneeded files and place the files you need in the appropriate paths. Then a script modifies the build.prop.
NOT WORKING:
-MMS
-data on some ROMs
Versions
v1-v3: 4.2.2
v4-latest: 4.3-4.4
Downloads:
http://mbqonxda.net/zittoro/tuna-converter
http://d-h.st/users/zittoro/tuna-converter?fld_id=27545&s=file_name&d=ASC
Thanks to @MBQ_ for ftp server hosting
@funkypc 's update to Android 4.4.2, AllTuna:
How-To:
1. Download a switch for your variant Download "Tuna" if you're not sure what it is.
2-1. Extract a ROM zip file of your choice (of another gnex variant)
2-2. Open /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
2-3. Delete these lines
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "WHATEVERITIS" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "WHATEVERITIS");
If there isn't one, just leave it.
2-4. Zip the folder and flash it
3. Flash the switch
3. Flash Gapps and/or whatever fixes/mods/kernels you want
Data(3G/4G) doesn't work? (v4.2 or higher)
1. On any "native" YOURVARIANT's (maguro, toro, or toroplus) rom, copy and paste all of the followings at once in a terminal emulator app.
Code:
su
mkdir -p /sdcard/backups/telephony
cp -a /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/* /sdcard/backups/telephony
2. Reboot to recovery, full wipe, install a ROM of your choice (the one that you wanna convert), flash the switch zip, gapps, kernel, etc.
3. Reboot to android, see if data works, if not, turn on and off airplane mode. If still not, try changing the preferred network mode in Settings - WIRELESS&NETWORK - More... - mobile network. Still not, reboot.
If you want to change the carrier label, follow either set of steps in this thread by spunks3.
Please let me know if you find any bugs or if it doesn't work.

Edit: was any sync services not working for you?

Updated to v2. Make sure to download the latest file - part of the file names could hardly be shown

My understanding of this is that I will download from the Maguro link since I'm using a Maguro, then I will flash this mod after I flash a toro ROM.
Is this correct?

Thank you so much for this. Can't wait to try this out on my Toro.
