Develop Bugs

What phone finding software do you use (i.e. SeekDroid, Lookout, etc)?

Just wondering what, if any, phone finding software people prefer. I had installed SeekDroid on my previous phone when it was a free download from amazon. Prior to that I remember at some point having wavesecur when it first came out but now that is mcafee. Not having insurance on this phone I'm thinking of installing SeekDroid back on it.

Theft Aware is great. Especially if you're rooted.

I'm using SeekDroid because it was free for a day and it works, I never lost a phone but you never know what can happen

seekdroid, also on the free amazon day. Does just what is says, and doesn't seem to cause any issues. Nice to see they added texting recovery/locking/wiping options recently also, so you don't need to have internet handy when you realize your phone is gone, you can just borrow someones phone.

What do you use for tethering?

Just got my T-mo GSIII, and just wanted to see what wireless tethering apps work, if any. I need something to keep me until AOSP roms come to the US GSIII. I'm going away for 2 weeks today, and desperately need internet access for my laptop, but find the fees for tethering rediculous.

Once rooted I use wifi tether from the market, works great.

Try Foxfi it works pretty good

Our just use the native tethering in the phones menu after you root...it's discussed in the development thread.it's never given me a problem. Those apps tend to suck..

Where at looking for a native option like on the sg2 days when you froze a certain app to make it work. Couldn't find anything in that everyone seems happy with the apps which u think they suck as well. There was one thread where they mentioned freezing an app but it broke wifi calling. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

+1 for FoxFi. Market > Install > Activate Hotspot > Done.
Easy peasey lemon sqeezey.

Wow, Sprint blocked this from the market on my phone and on the desktop it states Foxfi is not available on your carrier. Foxfi does provide an external link though, thumbs up for them.

Not working on Verizon?
First the encrypted boot loader, now no wifi tethering? Really regretting my preorder now, might have to refuse shipment on this and continue to use my Thunderbolt w/ unlimited data and tethering for free

Try using the Market Access app. It will spoof your carrier so you can access the apps available on the market from TMobile or AT&T.

Do you keep it at the made up apn permanently or once you are done tethering do you go back to the stock APN settings?
Great video, thanks!

I installed the app. Hit the enable button and it said I needed to disable an "always scanning WiFi" option so I did. Then enabled it and started tethering. Opened up the tmo app to check usage and it was using hotspot data.

I watched the video (nice video btw) and kept thinking what if you hooked up a laptop to it with no android spoofing agents. An ipad is like a mobile device. But a windows pc with a desktop user agent in a web browser is another story. I use my connection for work using the default tethering and it does not register any data through the vpn except web pages.

I understand your concern. I can honestly tell you that i have tethered my computer, and downloaded torrents, using upwards of 4-5 gbs in one sitting, as well as used my PS4, and PS3 all of my note 3. So far this month, i have used 27 GB
Thanks by the way, im glad you liked the video

Thanks for the reply. That was the only concern i had with the video was that it was with an ipad bc of how tmobile sees data come through. I may need to use my Google survey money to buy that app. Technically free for me. Have you used Web browsers as well on your pc with no user agents without it registering?

I have! I am having such a great experience with this app that i am debating on canceling my home internet service LOL imagine that? I am debating getting another t-mobile line, activating that with my note 2 that i have sitting in my drawer, and hooking my note 2 into my wireless router, and serve internet to the entire house!
Not exactly sure if i want to cut ties with my ISP though....still thinking on it.

Honestly i love tmobile! I have not signed up for comcast or Verizon bc of tmobile. Best deal on the planet. I got 40 mbps the other day. ..get 30 from my house.

i totally agree brotha! I switched from AT&T about 1 month ago when they did the ETF promo....haven't looked back. Anddd i am saving roughly 100 bucks a month....that....is insane. All around better service, same amazing devices, UNLIMITED DATA, and lowest cost for a "big 4" wireless carrier.

Yup. I am in Pittsburgh and the service is very good here. I can't speak for traveling yet but in the metropolitan area i am in i could not be happier for 75 and change each month. I usually go through 100 plus gigs a month. I don't get why people who don't travel far even consider the other big carriers unless they have a family plan. ..that is another story.

Nope, you have to root.

I think T-mobile have just found out about it today. my internet got disconnecting around 1am central time. i was using modified apn. everything was working fine. i tried everything with no success, i called T-mobile, and they have to reset the signal, and reset the apn to its original setting. and then switch to 2g network, then switch to Auto. after all that i got my internet working. so i tried again to miss with the apn, what i found out is that no matter apn i use, will not work, unless i choose the protected apn. and my internet get disconnecting until i change to 2g then Auto.
What i believe is T-mobile have just known about the apn trick.
please everyone has the same issue report back.

Are you using the newest version of the T-Mobile My Account app?? I think it can control and monitor wi-fi usage to block this trick. I block some of its permissions using LBE Security Master.

I personally use this has never failed me ... I have tethered almost 200GB Data with no problem ....

Watchmaker Premium for Free

Watchmaker premium is now free as a part of Amazon's underground program (which means it's really free with no IAPs). Just thought people here would like to know.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Very good app.
Haven't had a watch in some time but i preferred it over faced after the updates.

Many thanks TheSt33v.

unfortunately it seems Amazon provides an outdated and buggy version. Or does date work for you when creating new faces?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app

I have downloaded the apps through Amazon app store. However, for some reason I don't see it in my watch. It seems the watch is looking only for apps downloaded through Play Store. Any hint.
and thanks for the tip.

apply a watchface, after that you should be able to chose it on the watch

There is no location lock, so You just need to have Amazon account with any random adress in USA, then it works in every corner of the world (unlike Prime etc).

OK, what state has the cheapest taxes lol
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Delaware has no sales tax. But since you're only using the US account for free apps, tax doesn't matter.

I already owned it.
But for my friend downloaded it on his lg g3
Dont remeber wat it was. Or the app didn't open or opened and force closed.
Any how it didn't work.
I happy to have bought it for 1euro on the play store

if you've updated your moto 360 to marshmallow, this version is buggy at best. Updated version, 3.9.7 is on the play store, devs updated it to work with marshmallow

Tax Free
Florida is tax FREE also.

I'm trying to get an answer about this from Amazon chat. Unfortunately, I'm not hopeful about getting an answer, they aren't very good about that.

Root discussion(Think tank)

It's still early and I have a feeling it will take a while until we have some form of root (if at all), but where should we start? I personally do not know the first place to start, but if anyone out there has any ideas, feel free to discuss them here.
I would like to make a bounty, but it seems like the trend has been a purchase is required to get root.

I was tinkering with the Moto BL unlock site yesterday. Actually got it to the point where I could get the "request unlock key" to show, but would fail upon clicking that to actually getting the emailed key

Anyone know if Wondershare will root it? I've rooted my tablets with that one click root process before, but not with my DT2 yet. I have my DT2, but not sure why I'd root when there is no development for it yet. btw my DT1 with LP wouldn't root with Wondershare.

Again, mobile hotspot doesn't work if you have unlimited data. Since it took about 6 months for the original Turbo to get mofo root, I have a feeling it's gonna take just as long, if ever. They still haven't found a way to write to the system within an image.
It's a shame, they got you good with getting you on a tiered line, and of course they're gonna give free mobile hotspot to tiered users for that exact reason that it eats up data. It gives you a greater chance of going over your data cap, therefore, putting more money into Verizon's greedy little pockets.
I usually average around 75GB a month, so there's no way I will EVER voluntarily give up my unlimited data. They're gonna have to pry it from my cold, dead hands before I ever give up my unlimited data.
