Wow. This is a sad day. What will they block next? ROM manager, titanium back up or my backup pro?

Wireless tether is basically stealing. Full props to verizon for finally blocking it. And gnesoid was taken down by he developer it is not being blocked by verizon.

Explain this to me. How is this stealing?
Is using Google Navigator stealing because VZW has VZ Navigator which they charge a monthly fee to use?
We pay $30+ for our data package, we shouldn't have to pay additional fees to use that same data.

Sigh. They [verizon] never blocked it, the developer pulled it on request of sega. Verizon might piss you off at times, but they don't care about a video game emulator to a 20+ year old system, lol. However...the former console company that hasn't really done much since they retired the said system might want to complain...
So why was Gensoid taken down? According to the developer, it was at the request of Sega. They must have contacted Google and gotten the emulator taken off the market. What exactly Sega claimed in order to take it down isn't know as Google usually isn't forthcoming with details, just general overviews, when asked. The next question is, why now?

It's also obvious if you search the market on your computer (not your phone). Wireless tether is still there if you use a browser, gensoid is not.

Stealing
Charging customer more money to tether to another device is stealing. Way I look at it, we already pay for 5gb of data (some unlimited). Wireless carriers should let us tether to any device we want to our data limit. I pay for my data plan and should be able to use any way I want to up to the carriers limit.

Barnacle Wifi Tether is still in there at least, i always liked that better anyways.

Just put your phone in airplane mode and turn wifi on and go to the market you will then be able to see all tether apps.

phone stolen from my friend need away to know theif number

a lady stole my friend sgs luckily she doesn't know how to use the phone at all, its been 3 weeks and i'm still trying to find where she lives
the phone still has the gmail account linked i installed plan b and androidlost but they both needs me to send a text message to activate them and i dont have her number
plan b doesnt seams to works as everyone knows that the sgs with stock rom has a very bad gps lock
my best lock will be with androidlost as it has many features
we already notified the police but with no info at all on her we wont be able to do anything
i would hope if there is any app that would send her phone number to he linked gmail account , or any other kind of apps that may help

The only apps that I know of that will do that are Avast! and Cerberus, but both have to be installed beforehand.

Don't know how to do what you want but i hope you removed any card details from your account so they cant buy things on the app store with your details.
Your gmail account should have the ip addresses it was accessed from this may be of use to the police. This can be found at the bottom right of your inbox.

What carrier is the phone with?
Sprint has a family locator plan that can be initiated remotely. I believe they offer a free 2 week trial.
You can try pulling the call history online with the carrier to get the numbers called
and even request that the phone be traced.
Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710)

Try to contact google, if you have a police report with the IMEI you might pull of a IP log of the people who accessed the acccount, from the you could go to the carrier company with your police report or the cops could do it and they'll be able to pull of her records by the IP.
I can't figure out why the US doesn't enfore locking the phones by IMEI, I remember my brand new iPhone was stolen last year and the cops couldn't do a thing. so I suggest you or your friend do this step by step and hope for the best.

sadly i dont live in the US so all these things are impossible , police wont do **** here , i'm still waiting for plan b to lock on gps but still no email , i'm keeping the gmail account still on the phone because it has no valuble info except for the contacts which are already backed up , and the person who stole the pone is so dump and cant even know how to install or uninstall apps

How do you know that shes that dumb?

if only some one made an app that will look for a contact name and send an sms to it and the user can save that predefined contact to google contacts which will sync to the phone
so if the app is looking for Joe123 all you have to do is create a new contact in google contact with Joe123 and input you second phone number
then wait for it to sync with the stolen phone then install that app which will send you an sms with the theif number and possibly GPS if available
and once you get that number you can install androidlost and start controlling the phone
thats just an idea and i hope some one will make it true one day

I think the one WiredPirate linked to should work..

You can still install apps via the online play store can't you? Then why can't you install avast?

Add TEP

Anyone else get TEP added automatically for your ONE. I just noticed that I have it and all I did was chat with a rep to activate my line.

I did. I had went into the store and didn't find out till today.

Possibly doing it to increase their attachment numbers. Attachments such as the international package or TEP are counted metrics for us preferred retailers but idk if the same applies to corporate. At least in my store we'd never apply anything that would increase your bill without you asking for it or us confirming you want it.

Lately there's been a push to attach tep do the rep most likely added it

As a Sprint sales associate & technician, I can tell you TEP is not required for any phone. I always suggest it (and have it on my own line) because I see a lot of people that get screwed without it. At least for the first couple months of having the phone. TEP can only be added at the time of purchase (or within 30 days but they don't usually tell you that), but you can remove it at any time with no hassle.
Regardless, that wasn't cool to add that on without your permission. Always look at the contract when they print it out in the store and see if everything is correct. Unfortunately, you can't really do that over the phone. In Sprint's defense, it's not a Sprint thing to just add it to your account, we're all individuals like yourself working for the company and how honest we are in what we do is directly linked to the person. We're not all like that.

<SOLVED> No Knox App?

Just curious, I saw the knox app om all international and Tmobile versions but I cant find it on my att version. BY Knox I mean the secure profile switcher.
Update 1 :
Koars215 received a correspondence from Samsung:
"after days on days of speaking with att and samsung... corporate finally spilled the beans lol this is coming from samsung mouth the agent told me that att push the device for purchased and did not look over the software in full before putting it on the shelf. They said the reason we can see the knox app in the installation manager is because by default it should be. Also its something that cant be found on its samsung app market place.
END RESULT: Samsung said within the next 1-2 weeks it will push a software update for At&t and t-mobile(i had no clue t-mobile was having the same issue)"
Update 2:
Get the knoxstub.apk from note 3 international and placed it in system after being rooted and now knox is working perfect. Tnx to cburnett
Update 3:
Knoxstub is attached. Tested and it works :good: Tnx to cburnett for the file.
Just open the apk and install normally and let it do its thing.

Exactly I can't find it either.

Me neither. It's strange

To activate it go to Security>Device Administrators.
Word to the wise, if you care about Root or Bootloader Unlock; becareful. No one really knows what Knox changes hardware wise, IF it even changes anything hardware wise and software wise.
Unfortunately there's no way for us on AT&T N3 to disable it completely. But so far, it's not running on mine.

How do you use Knox on the att version? How do I get credentials for it

Guys Knox is not an app. It's a security protocol that keeps your information private and also your activity. Anything done in Knox, stays in Knox. Once it's activated it's on and monitors your security.
Here's some more information on how it works.... http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox
At&t Note III...& At&t G Pro

mine don't work either

@Jammol your wrong on the the other company's such as sprint there is an/a app on the home screen that allows you to place things inside the container and also Knox have its own store with supported apps. I was on the phone with Samsung advanced tech support and they were scratching their head on why it isn't installed on the device but it is found in the installation manager

I said its not an app because I don't classify it as one. Yes its a container, an environment, an app.
At&t Note III...& At&t G Pro

I will keep you guys updated this will be round 2 with advance tech support (samsung+att)... My guess is if others are having this problem that they will end up pushing a update that fixes this problem. My buddy got the Note 3 for sprint and i saw that its visible from the home screen and had to download the knox store onto the note 3. When i later got my note 3 from att that was the first app i looked for and i wasn't available.

UPDATE: Online petition to att to unlock bootloaders

Well sitting around today I figured I would e-mail samsung about the locked bootloader and how that would eventually kill off sales for those in the know on Modding, development and wanting ultimate control of there device. So I would suggest anyone who cares to should do the same. I think if we show them the love we have for Samsung devices as a community maybe they will rethink their strategy and start giving their fans what they want, and that is options, unlimited options to flash and mod the way we want. I mean heck isn't that what google released android for was to be open sourced. So please take time to send samsung an e-mail and voice your support to stop locking bootloaders and unlock our locked ones, cause we all know it's easier for them to do it and just pass it on to us than for a dev to do it and get nothing but thanks when I reality samsung should send him a check, but we know that won't happen.
UPDATE: Link to online petition below please sign and tell your friends. Also petition is linked to c.e.o. Randall Stephenson @ [email protected] so he will know of every signature we gain. So come on and let's try to get our device the freedom it and we deserve.

Samsung does not insist on locking the bootloaders. The carriers do. That's why both AT&T and Verizon bootloaders are lock, while Sprint and Tmobile and not. AT&T and Verizon's locked bootloaders have not dropped Samsung sales below that rival company, who leaves their bootloaders to be unlocked by the customer on that special webstite, whose sales of their top selling phone are fading based on what I am reading.

Did not know that. you would think samsung would be like "hey att don't do that people want access not restrictions" but like you said if the device is a top seller I guess on their end there is no reason to conform to what smaller groups of people like us think the state of the phone upon release should be. Well I'll send att an e-mail to might not do any good but I would like to try. Again if you support this send them(samsung, att, verizon, etc.) an e-mail and voice your response. Tell them we want freedom not a locked down p.o.s.

I personally received a cease and desist letter for harassing the ceo's secretary about the locked bootloader on my LG g2. The bottom line is 5% or less modify their phones.1% will actually complain about it and I would bet less than 20% of that 1 percent would actually write a letter. Att doesn't care about the opinions of .20% of its customer base. The only way to get this to work is to unite across all devices with locked bootloader's on at&t.

So fight back. Sim unlock, switch carriers and stick it to the man. That's the only way I can think of getting our point across, falling short of waiting out your contract or paying ETF's(if u have good credit, I dont.lol). If I have to starting tomorrow I will reach out to other att customers with other models with Locked bootloaders. This needs to happen regardless what majority we are, we spent damn hard earned money for open source OS not a closed one and why should it be left up to someone here on xda or another dev site to unlock this mess.

I do stick it to the man, the man keeps giving me free stuff. The last phone I bought was the LG g2. After a few weeks I had a bad pixel so they gave me a brand new note 3. A month after that I talked them into a free galaxy gear. When the boredom kicked in I got "the man" to take the note 3 back and send me a good flex. I sold the watch. In June I once again told them I wasn't happy with the flex so they told me to pick any phone I wanted, I chose this phone. Now it is aggravating and I probably wasted hours of my time harassing them but it pays off.

This is all on the AT&T end of things. If they could come to an agreement to have something similar to what HTC has where you go to their website and agree to void your warranty then the site unlocks it that would be great. We need to put pressure on AT&T for something like that as it would not cause them to lose money or their government contracts. But like someone stated earlier our demographic is so small that they don't care. Normal people just care that their phones work and can take good pictures. I can tell you that back when the Motorola atrix came out there was a petition to also unlock the bootloader it got tons of signatures and even the attention of Motorola and AT&T enough so that they issued a statement that they would provide a solution to the locked bootloader and guess what, the solution never came but we did get their attention so it is possible.

Yea I'm kinda feeling the blues I come from a galaxy S4G from t-mobile they jacked up my bill so I jacked there phone. I quit paying for it ( the contract that is, bad credit here. can't wait for that financial system to crash) and did a network unlock and threw it on sprint prepaid. After that I learned what little I know about root, roms, and flashing. I've made a few themes for the S4G with u.o.t. but that's neither here nor there.
Now I move on and wouldn't you know the second smart phone I have ever had is locked down like a terrorist in Gitmo (I mean sheesh even they get light 1 hour a day).
