Saw a rooted and flagged Nexus in a carrier store :I

Was walking around central, hong kong this morning. I decided to pop into "3"'s store (a network carrier) to check out the gsm Moto razer....I then walked over to the gnexus displacy, only to be surprised by a 4 way lock screen that can be found on the EGB ROM
I checked the device to find it rooted running an older version of EGB and Franco's kernel! Surprise surprise I thought to myself~

Lol thats pretty funny most phones on display when i walk into a rogers store I find, (here in Canada) are either off or have like a fake screen taped on the screen.
Question though what was the process of rooting the G1 if you were able to do it without a computer and in the store?

If you were aussie, what you just said would've sounded so bad To root something is aussie slang for having sex with it.
Lets just say when my mates asked me how to root their phones we got some weird looks for other people who heard it

oh right one click root, I am familiar with that especially the apk that was just able to be side loaded to get it to work. . Now it all makes sense

That's false advertising if you ask me.

Google Wallet Disabling Prepaid cards

Google has temporarily disabled the provisioning of prepaid cards in its Google Wallet service over fears that it can make users' finances easily accessible should they lose their mobile device.

As far as I know this only affects users who do not yet have a pre-paid card or are trying to re-add their pre-paid card after wiping their device (i.e. me). If your pre-paid card is already active you should not have any issues using it.
In my opinion this issue has been blown way out of proportion...

Oh I agree completely. Its still at least as secure as my actual wallet. In my case more so, as I have a pin on my phone, and of course GW too. Those along with Cerberus to find/wipe as needed I feel as safe as can be expected.
I'll try to use it today when I leave the gym. There's a CVS right next door that has Paypass.

The rumors I've been reading suggest that as long as you have funds remaining on your Prepaid Card you can continue to use it as usual - but I don't think the balance will update after a transaction due to the whole "cannot contact bank" message in your screenshot. When you need to top up the card (which you'll only know is out of funds when it gets declined, I suppose), you'll be out of luck.

Don't reset or you won't be able to add it back.. That's the boat im in now essentially breaks wallet for me now since I don't use citi... wish they would fix it already

According to Money Network support they are supposed to have this feature back up and working in the next day or two.

Yea I used it 2/9 and I had the transaction location along with the deduction from my prepaid amount available. It looks like this only affects new activations. Everything seems to be working fine for me.

If there is still a balance left on it then u can use the balance amount but u cannot add anymore funds to it.

I can confirm that I can still purchase things, the balance updates, and I can even see the last 4 of the prepaid card (user id).

I can confirm that I can not purchase anything since I can't connect to the money network.. I have $28 loaded, still getting declined.

Not only is mine working again, I was just able to add funds to my card.

Still won't let me re-add my prepaid card...

I am in the same boat after flashing AOKP 23.

For this hack to even work, someone needs your phone. If my phone is lost or stolen, Google wallet would be the least of my concern. My saved passwords on my browser would be 100x worse than this hack

I've been hearing both here and from calling Money Network that it should be resolved by Friday or Monday. I don't know if you'll have to call to get your card reprovisioned (would make sense to me, since it's a "security" issue) or if it will just start working on its own.

Google Wallet Prepaid Card Down?

Woke up to find funds unavailable and user id couldn't connect.
I reset the google wallet app to see if that would fix it, now i can't re-add my prepaid card.
According to Droid Lifes Twitter others say its down as well.

Are u having similar issues?

Same here.

You're not alone. This morning I couldn't see my funds and when I tapped on the prepaid card it said that it couldn't connect to the bank or something, so I also reset the app and now can't add a new card either. Hopefully it'll be resolved soon. Just got the Nexus and Google Wallet is pretty sexy.

noticed it Saturday night, glad its not just me, i thought i bricked my security thingy..flashed a custom rom and back to stock oer the weekend...

It's down for me too. I asked about it on Twitter but have yet to receive a response. I'm thinking about calling them in a few to see what's up.

I was bored enough to try.
When I called they confirmed it was down and they're currently "working on it."

Google Wallet has been down for at least 15 hours now. No response from Google on their Plus page or Twitter.
This is the service that they claim will replace our physical wallets?
1) Even if it was taken down intentionally for maintenance, there should have been a warning beforehand.
2) If this is unexpected downtime, they should've responded within 15 hours. It's a monday for Christ's sake, and I'm not aware of any US public holidays.
I'm going to be submitting this story to the tech blogs, and I hope you do the same. I've stuck by Wallet through all the negative press, but this episode demonstrates with absolute certainty that Google really aren't invested or interested in Google Wallet.

Replacement SIII - What to capture/record before activating and or rooting?

Hi. My original S3 stopped charging and I just received the replacement. My plan is to use it for work since it is clean. They force us to use airwatch. Getting a Note 4 for my personal phone. Is there something that I should save off or insert before I activate it?
Thx

I'm going to activate it on Sprint. Airwatch is a BYOD administration application. It detects among other things, whether the device is rooted. Then it invalidates your device. There doesn't seem to be a workaround. They fix every exploit as soon as it's implemented.

hotspot on old unlimited plan

Wondering if there is a way to get the hotspot feature working on the old version of unlimited data for verizon? I kept this plan specifically to avoid throttling because I do use much more than 21GB a month (around 35-50 on average) and I occasionally use hotspot in congested areas.
Tried foxfi, no dice. Any other suggestions?

I was just about to ask the same thing.
I just came from a pixel and I know if you popped out the SIM card and then quickly turn on the hotspot while putting the sim card back and it would work. Doesn't​ seem to work with the S8 ?

The SIM technique worked for me!

I used over 200gb last month with probably 70gb of that from tethering. I don't think throttling is really an issue.

Let me know if that works, I'm also following a thread on the s8 forum. It looks like some people were able to get a carrier nutural version which I'd believe would allow us to bypass the hotspot check all together

Ok, so until this post I had no idea about the Sim Card Technique. It took like 5 tries to get it to work, but once you initate the SIM card you have about 2 seconds for tethering to work.
I got it to work on my S8+

You sir are amazing!
I'll vouch this works as well. Took me 2 tries, but it works.

I pay for the hot-spot just to avoid being kicked off. Didn't Verizon kick people off who passes 100 or 200 GB in a month.
