Go through all the trouble of setting up my NAE updated phone and now they do this . Wonder how long it'll be before this one makes it's way around and gets a new hotspot mod.

Considering fgr had the NAE hotspot posted within 2 days of NAE dropping I would say not long.

Further browsing is revealing conflicting reports. The support link provided actually goes to the page for the 720T, showing the MK5 initial release and only NAF following it. Going through the original S4 model support page shows the known MDC-NAE list. Wonder if the rep goofed or are we really going to get a refresh. Guess we'll see after people start spamming check for updates.

I thinkkkk this is for the L720T model (Tri-band).
Scratch that, it IS for the L720T... https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/733642#733642

Yeah I asked on the forum as well as the @sprintCare twitter account. I'm thinking the rep put the wrong model up there not knowing there were two different types of S4's. Started seeing people with the tri-band post about getting KitKat.

Yes it is for the Triband. I would like to use WiFi calling but oh well.

Updated TweetDeck Android Beta 0.9.10.1 now available!

Ladies and gentlemen,
Behold! Another new release in the development of TweetDeck!!
support.tweetdeck.com/home <---- their most recent post has a direct link to the .apk download =)
*as it says, make sure you delete all previous versions FIRST!*
They are really pushing out good betas, and so far every version I've had works very will with my phone!
[Samsung Captivate JH7 - Rooted - Sideloading - AT&T Bloatware Removed]
I currently operate 2 separate twitter accounts and my facebook account simultaneously... It doesn't get much better than this!
So far:
1) no crashes
2) have refresh on every 3 mins and it is NOT killing my battery!! =D
What's the experience of other users with this newest beta? Any issues with accounts/compatibility?
PS... I'm really quite impressed that they have had a beta out almost every week this past month or so. Not bad at all. Samsung, take note...
I had a problem with the previous-previous version losing my Facebook connection but they fixed it in the v0.9.10 version. Other than that it's been a great little app for for keeping up with my networks. I like how they load twitpic, yfrog, and facebook images directly in the app rather than having to be shunted out to the browser.
Edit: I almost forgot my other gripe. They've only released the beta as an apk, so no installing from the market and no installing unless you can sideload. I guess I can see how you'd want to limit beta access to people who take the time to work on their phones, but it's also going to limit the total amount of feedback you might get from testers.

Software update for Note available?

According to Engadget and a few other sources there is an update available for the note:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/22/refresh-roundup/
Samsung Galaxy Note: A small update, it adds new features and enhancements to the Note, such as a number row on its stock Android keyboard, "one hand operation" mode which shrinks the keyboard and dialpad for better one-handed access, optimized screen brightness and a new torch widget on the home screen.
But when I try to update the phone it says no update available. It was not bought through a network so should be unlocked and I am based in the UK. Any suggestions on how to get the update?
Thats the last LA4 Update release from Samsung, but its not released worldwide, you can download it from the below link and update via Odin.

"This Update in not directly Rootable"
No updates for mine as yet
Hi
Along with quite a few other Note owners in the UK, mine is still stick on 2.3.5, XXKJ4. I got mine from Hantec back in November. It was an EU version (Poland perhaps?).
I'll give it a few more weeks before I root it and side-step the official update sequence. 2.3.6 us supposed to fix the Android OS battery drain issue.

Hmmmm maybe I will just wait for ICS, the improvements to one handed operation would be really handy though (sorry for the bad pun!).

Possible alternative to OP7P T-Mobile stock ROM

This is not a tutorial, just a technical note. I have been able to restore my unlocked T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro (model GM1915) that was firmware build GM31CB, with the GM21AA for models GM1911 and GM 1917. YMMV.
I have not experienced any issues with LTE or wifi calling, or text messages. I immediately received and successfully installed an OTA. The only difference I've seen so far is the wifi-calling icon now says "V♂WIFI" (still works though) and default ring tone.
Before you ask why didn't I just use the MSMTool to install the international version.... Some may find themselves in my predicament, where they are Linux or Mac users and the MSMTool.exe is for Windows. I tried a Windows VM but was only partially successful. The T-Mobile download links I found were broken and GM21AA is easily found.
Follow up: I've figured out that the male symbol is actually "oiP" to spell VoiP. Another note is that swiping from edge left to center used to bring up curated news, a feature I liked, but now it brings up a tray with widgets like a parking tool. I'm starting to think that the tiny differences I'm noticing are differences in the updates because T-Mob was behind on the releases. Also, I neglected before to mention that the ROM was installed via TWRP.

You can get that back by installing Nova launcher and the Google companion app. The international version is leaps and bounds better than the hack job TMo did. For being optimized for Tmos network I have way better performance on the international version. MMS messages wouldn't always download, sms would hang. On the international version everything just works. You think it would be the other way

sideload update - is possible w/SM T230NU?

I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question, but I noted some references to android update of Samsung Tablets and 1 of the SM T230NU - but only questions about whether an android update for it exists (the T230NU is at 4.4.2) - this is ancient I know, but if there is a way to get it to android (lollipop?) 5 or higher than it still can be used with many apps (spectrum will no longer let you use it with less than android 5) - I will probably have to get a new tablet (already have a larger one and phone) but like this size and if it's possible I'd rather keep it - hate that these companies can just decide when your device is obsolete. If anyone knows if an android update is possible through new root/rom or whatever on the SM T230NU I appreciate it. (It obviously will not auto update above 4.4.2).

***CLOSED*** Enable Samsung Gallery secret hidden settings

Turns out that the stock Samsung Gallery has a secret menu, and it`s easy to enable it, take a look.
Moderator Edit: YouTube link removed due to violation of XDA external links policy.
Best part is that it runs on One UI 3.1/3.0/2.5 and 2.1 so even earlier devices should benefit.
Test it for yourself and let us know here what you were able to activate or de-activate.
Doesn't do anything on my Note 10+ /Pie.
Damn! Which version are you using (Gallery & One UI)? It should work back to One UI 2.1 - can you try again - you have to aim for the last few digits - I myself did not get it the first time...

Gallery 10.2.00.19/ One UI vers 10.0.40.6
No go with this version.
Samsung is fond of hidden secret menus. Who knows how many there really are?
I found one by accident over a year ago.
Really? Those goofballs would have you tapping on everything. It's more than just annoying.
Anymore I cringed at updating any Samsung apk other than Wearables. Last update on the Good Lock family of apps left it with dumb looking creepy dancing icons on the main menu and zero tangible functionality improvements.
Small wonder I'm still running Pie; don't need AT&T/Samsung and Google screwing up -my- N10+!
I found a few more in Bixby (allowing capsule test) and S Health (a bit more settings) - still testing them...
Agree - stick on Pie - unless you dont want to test next versions
I finally got it to work. You have to press on the version number several times not the word Gallery. Kind of interesting....
I tried and it did not work, but i tried harder, and being pixel perfect? It did work on A32 latest version.
Works on my S21+ (stock) with all the latest updates. Thanks!
