[Q] Phone Encryption - LG Optimus G Pro

Is anyone using encryption on their e980? I need to encrypt mine so I can use it with my work email. But whenever I try it, the phone will not unlock and I'm forced to do a hard reset. I'm not using the stock Rom. Currently, I'm using Slim build 2.1 (4.3)

Try sophos. My company uses sophos encryption for my laptop. Pretty sure they provide it for mobiles as well. Not sure if they would give out for a single mobile.
Plus, you got to purchase after free trial. For more info just search sophos on google :thumbup:

I have a solavei SIM, and have for quite some time, never had any issues. All of a sudden I can't send mms, I've tried all the apn's and even factory reset, all the way up to odin the phone all the way back. I still can't get mms to work. Someone please help. The phone is tmobile s3, locked, never had any issues, not rooted.

Sorry, never heard of solavei....
If it just happened randomly, then it's probably on the carrier side. Call and see if they made any changes recently that could affect this. Otherwise, I'm just not sure.

I don't I'm puzzled by this. I had someone look into it for me. The only thing they could come up with was my phone is T-Mobile kicked do they can't help me.. yet they're a T-Mobile mvno

I'm actually wondering if it could be T-Mobile's fault....sorta. with all of their recent changes and network upgrades, couldn't it be possible that some important things are now different, but your carrier has no idea about it as they may not have been informed? Or maybe something like this wasn't expected. It's just a guess of course, but I know the primary apn changed in markets where T-Mobile deployed LTE. Maybe other things changed too?
I know you said you tried the different apn's, but try the file linked below. Rename the current apns-conf.xml with .bak and copy this one over. It's in /system/etc/ I believe. Then reboot and see if it helps. It's all I can think to try right now. But this has only the new T-Mobile apn. All others are removed.

I'm using Solavei just fine make sure you APNS are setup properly and that you save and select the apn to use. Dont just press back. You can download the solavei app to set up your phone if you still cant figure it out.

I've done ask that, I've used the configuration sms, I've used the setup app, I even used the imei specific lookup on the help section on solavei.

Do you have any screen shots of the non-lte s3 apn's? It's my understanding there is multiple needed.

That kind of sounds like it could be an account problem, just a guess though, but it would make sense. Maybe go to a local store and ask.If you can try one of their SIM cards in your device.

The play store started working again but I can't solve the mms problem, I don't like using the 3rd party app

If you're stock, not rooted, there's not a lot you can do. Chances are it's an issue on the carrier side still. Have you tried your SIM in another device? Tried a new, or someone else's SIM?
Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk 4
Well I can still send mms if I use a third party app, without having to use Wi-Fi.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk now Free
Usually a stock sms/mms app sends via the carrier, so it goes over a secure line through their servers....or something similar to that. Hard to explain. 3rd party apps don't care about your carrier and just send over the internet, be you connected via WiFi or mobile data.

Oh ok, that makes sense. But I'm about to cry. This has been frustrating. I've even been as far as going odin using the official tar and updating ota.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk now Free
I know, and I understand the frustration! But those are some of the very reasons why I think it may back a carrier/account problem.
Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk 4
Fixed it! Had to modify the solavei apn. Basically mms proxy had to be black, had to change authentication type to none, add the ,supl,mns,admin,hipri whatnot. Basically even though this was suppose to be imei specific, it was incorrect.

wifi tether works with one rom, not another

the wifi tether for root users is not working with the liquid smooth rom just released, but the optimus DE rom works just fine as well as stock. tried reconfiguring it all different ways and mimicking the optimus rom settings I had that worked just fine. not sure why it works fine for one and not for another. any ideas?
just so everyone knows, I'm not a total noob at this. I've had a Samsung nexus S 4g forever, had it rooted for almost 2 years. great phone, moved up to the optimus for its hardware capabilities, but have had some issues with configurations on certain apps. great phone so far, the lg firmware makes it a little difficult to play around with. I've tried wiping davlik, pulling data from my other rom and everything. I went from a 4.1.2 rom to a 4.3.1 rom. i'm wondering if the 4.3 doesn't support the wifi tether? I use the crap out of it and haven't ever been billed for it. its awful handy, and sucks not to have it. tried the trevE mod version too, with the exact settings off my other rom it always starts with errors. if I turn it to NetD it works properly but doesn't show up when I scan to find it. not sure whats going on here?

I think most CM/ASOP ROMs have tethering built in. That's why the app doesn't work.
OpTimuS is stock.

The only one that shows up is the factory one you pay for... Are you saying this app is built in?

Stock ROMs you have to pay for. Or root and the app.
CM/AOSP depending which one, have a free hotspot built in. I think it's usually in settings>phone or roaming. Somewhere around there on the settings.

It's been a while since I ran that one. I can't remember if it's built in or not. Honestly.... I can't remember which ones don't have it. Most of them do.

When I tried using the native tether it called itself fallback and wouldn't let me use the free one. Well poo.

Just wondering if there's a fix for this app. I love access control that way even if people get my password I have to allow it. I guess I'll just back this ROM and data up and flash back to optimus de to tether if I need it for now.

Bump. Anyone know if there's a way to make this app work? I sent the dev a PM...

Att apps

I was wondering if I were to delete the att apps (att hotspots, att nav. etc.) Would that cause any unwanted side effects?
Sent from my LT28at using XDA Free mobile app
Dont know what you mean by delete? If you mean disable? No, it will not hurt to disable those apps. Those are on just about every att phone. There are lists every where showing you what apps you can disable. Just goole em and you will see. If your rooted. There is a very good app called systemCleanup that will tell what apps are safe. Either way you choose. Both are good options. Search or systemCleanup.

Sounds good, I have clean master which says that there could be problems if I uninstalled them

Just disable those apps if You are not sure. Mostly these apps will show "problems if uninstalled" as they are installed via Your update directly, but don't cause any issues if uninstalled. You can always experiment by taking backup of the app, then uninstall it. If nothing is wrong, then fine, else You can restore them.
Disabling them caused no issues but what I am really trying to do I get control of my hotspot/tethering without the need of an app like foxfi when I try to turn them on, please contact att, but since my phone is unlocked and I am not with att there is nothing they can do.
Sent from my LT28at using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, if your trying to use the hotspot in settings thats going to happen. That is tied in directly to your phone. Which is a att phone. You are essentially running a att rom. The only other way that I would know of. Would be to use a different carrier rom. But then you open up to other issues that would not be good. Just stick with foxfi. Be happy it works. For alot of us. It no longer does.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T217A using XDA Free mobile app
I figured that was the case, anyway, I really like the foxfi app because it hides your tethering usage from your carrier

Xs encryption

Anyone tried the encryption available in the kk Roms? Seems to encrypt the phone and the sd(?) and asks for password on Startup only. Anyone knows the performance Impact (I'm using pa 4.4.3 Art which is pretty fluid).
It is Not reversible.
Would be great if anyone could share their experiences.
Thanks

Hi,
You need to ask for help in the thread you downloaded the rom from.
Good luck!
Darth.. This has been a persistent problem that happens after every flash of a rom. I dunno what happened to my Bluetooth or WiFi but they never turn on. I even downloaded the same version of carbon ROM my friend had and his worked yet mine did not and I'm wondering why

I will have your thread moved to your device section so the experts who own your device can help.
If it were me, I'd flash stock 4.1.2 with Odin and see if its the same. If it is, sure could be a hardware issue.
Good luck!
Appreciate ya. That is a start. I can't use odin though because I do not have computer access at the moment. All solutions need to come from my phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA Free mobile app
You may need to find a computer to use, or you could be out of luck until you try stock...
