How to shut off/disable wifi offloading W/O root - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

After searching numerous times this forum seems to be lacking this little tip...seems all the threads about it on here say you simply must have root. Not true. As found here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-s-iii/193660-available-wifi-alert.html
open the dialer and enter the following code:
*#6335623#
this will open "HiddenMenuWifiOffload" menu.
select "Disable WifiOffloading"
press OK

Awesome find. Thanks!

nice...i was looking in all the wrong places for this...
makes me wonder how many other "hidden" menu's there are

I ended up installing nova launcher and adding a shortcut to wifi offloading and disabling it that way

Unfortunately this no longer works in the latest Jelly Bean leaks. Does anyone know how to disable this notification on these newer builds?

Yes but you have to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed to flash the zip that removes it. You can find the zip in the theme and app section.

I long press in the notification pull down, select app info, and force close. Works good until you reboot.

[ROM] Cyanogen 4.2.4 + Navigation MT3G ONLY!

PLEASE GO TO MY OTHER LINK, ALL INCAP'D in an UPDATE.ZIP!!!
FOR SAPPHIRE
I read a post earlier about fixing some apps not working.
in build.prop
change to 4 instead of 5.
ro.build.version.sdk=4
Did this and re-ran part 1 and part 2. Works fine with Handcent and facebook app working. haven't got any FC with other apps and navigation still working after a few hours and some reboots.
Uploaded a new .rar with changes to build.prop
http://www.mediafire.com/?jwhmkzay2mm
Extract All to Desktop
Run part 1 - when prompted hit any key and phone will reboot.
when up and running, run part 2.
Test nav by opening google maps and geting directions. Underneath "Show on Maps" you should see "Navigate" If you don't try installing Google Voice (fixed it for a lot of people)
If you did the above and Navigate isn't working, here is a link to the build.prop version that causes some app errors but gets nav Working

Thank for putting this all together - i'll try it later on today.
Quick question though, why would you wipe after you install the rooted base? Would that not defy the point of installing the rooted base in the first place? Shouldn't it be: 1. Wipe, 2. rootedbase.zip, 3. Reboot, 4. cynwmap.zip?

Yeah that looks correct to me. My understanding was 1. Wipe 2. Flash base 3. Reboot in recovery again 4. Flash Cynwmap
Also: If we already are already running CM 4.2.3.1 can we just flash the cynwmap.zip over the top without worrying about flashing the base again?
if i wanted to just run part 1.bin how would i do this? i tried and i got some errors about the files not existing.

That should work to push the correct buid props, the reason that the rooted base was put in there, was to add the maps to the original package...
I'm going to modify this later tonight to make it just a patch update deal...
Got a micro-bio test in the AM
and yes, i had the first two instructions fliped.. i'll edit to correct it.
What are the odds Cyanogen puts something like this in the next update?
I hope so
ps, first post, been rooted and running Cyanogenmod for a week or so now, really digging it.

I forgot about that.
Well is there a way to make a quick patch job of it for noobs like myself?
I tried this exactly was instructions said...but couldn't get navigation...
I went to "get directions" and typed in the addresses and whatnot, but didn't get any navigation? Maybe someone can enlighten me (isn't it supposed to be turn by turn voice?). Thanks
no offense to the Original Poster but...
can anyone else confirm that this actually works?
i really want Google Maps Nav on my phone!!!
Thanks again to the OP for this.
EDIT!

did you get a prompt to download the voices??
theomajigga said:

Click to expand...

No...nothing of the sort. It just looked like the normal Google Maps app to me
My steps EXACTALLY
Ok here's what I did, and its only for the **mt3g** (possibly the sapphire)
1. used amon's recovery and partitioned my card 3 ways.
2. enabled USB mass storage from recovery
3. Wiped
4. choose update ---> rooted base.zip
5. reboot right into recovery
6. wipe again (probably repetitive)
7. choose update ---> cyan w map.zip
8. wipe again for good measure (again probably repetitive)
9. reboot
at this point i get the familiar cyan boot, it goes into the setup and says welcome to droid.
I skip all setup because I have to use wifi, probably not relevant but that is what I do.
Enable wifi.
click on maps (which you will see has a different logo now)
enter 2 USA addresses
click get directions
it finds directions and right under show on map, it says navigate.
clicked on navigate.
I then get prompted to download voices, click download
sign-in to google shiz
download voice pacakage
rerun maps and do a directions again
click navigate
EDIT:
There is a possibility that you will have to clear the data that is stored in the applications:
Settings
Applications
scroll to maps
Click on clear data
done.

On how to add a different keyboard?? I can't seem to get it working.
Thanks.
What rom are you running? Also, is this a keyboard you've installed but can't seem to select? Some keyboards you have to activate first by going to Settings and under the Language & Keyboard section before it will show up in your Input Methods list of keyboards for you to be able to select it.

Using a Different Keyboards.
1. You need to install the keyboard you want, from the Market or sideload the apk.
eg. thumb.apk
2. once installed, go to settings->Language & Keyboard, and see if that keyboard needs to be enabled.
- some keyboard needs enabled from the settings.
3. From the browser or search or on any input area, Long press ( press and hold your finger) until it pops-up the option to select input method.
From that list select your keyboard.

Not sure what your saying. There is a way to any keyboard, but it seems to enable it, you
need to move the file then change values or something like that.
rothnic had some hack for swype keyboard, so i thought you you could follow some of his steps for the permissions.

Try a different Keyboard and see if you can get it to work with the steps given. If you can then maybe try and reinstall the keyboard you want.
Just a thought.

1. Put the "Replace_TNT_Settings.zip" in you internal SDcard.
2. rename it "Update.zip"
3. Reboot into CWM recovery and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"
4. once done reboot system
5. Go to settings> language & keyboard
6.enable you keyboards
7. Put the "Rollback_TNT_Settings.zip" in you internal SDcard
8. rename it Update.zip
9. Reboot into CWM recovery and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"
10. once done reboot system
11. long press on a text entry field and select your keyboard of choice.
I now have the Swiftkey keyboard and thumb keyboard working. Swipe Force closes on me (I'll see if I can get a different Swipe version to work).

[Q]force close every week!

Hello,
with several roms every week, suddenly appears this image.
After showing and select "force close" comes again and again and again. Then I reboot the device and the same problem. I have to reinstall again the rom or install a new one, but as i mention before, it happens every week.
I am going to appreciate if someone told me why happens.
Thanks a lot in advance.

1. are you using cm7 or any cm7 based roms? if you are, do not use the 2g/3g toggle in the cm power widget. that is a known issue.
2. have you ran a fix permissions? this is needed every once in a while especially if you are flashing different roms. theres a few ways to do this. you can run fix permissions in whatever recovery you are using on your nexus s, except stock recovery. or you can do it via terminal emulator on you phone. open the terminal emulator, type su(press enter) fix_permissions(press enter)
Fix permissions and clear cache!!!!!!

First of all, thanks for your answer.

2)Till now i never used this option called "fix permissions"

Thanks a lot!

[Q] Quick and easy Q for you (I'm going to assume..)

Ok. 2 things for you smarties-
A. Flashed MHX's superlite4.2 and lost my abilities to see, let alone download chrome and facebook in the Play Store(and probably more... havnt looked much further than that)
Re-flash?
B. Also, I havnt seen say anything about this yet, but in CWM (both touch and normal) when i go to clear the dalvik cache i get an "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" along the bottom when i click the "wipe Dalvik Cache" button. Note: this is not when i actually go to clear it, just when i hit the button before the no/no.../yes/no... prompt.
I one-clicked and rooted twice, and this was there both times.
***Edit- did some more searching, NVM on part B. Figured it out. Nothing to worry about!!
Thanks for your help! You guys rock!
try this first:
http://www.mediafire.com/?2bzkpwmwc652vn8
clear data under applications for google play, then install this within regular menu, from astro or any other filemanager
run and reconfigure. I you still can't find them then yes, perform a darkside/reflash
And yes, as you already figured out. "E:unknown volume" is nothing to worry about
thanks icenight89!
I ended up doing a darkside and flashing nexusmod ICS... Looks like it's more of what i want for the time being.
You da BOMB!

Great stuff, thanks alot for the peace of mind! I was one of, if not the first to have this IMEI wipe thing with Imoseyon's first test of the leankernel, and been wary of it ever since.
PLEASE NOTE: This appears to require a stock kernel. I was on Imoseyon's latest v2 beta (non-kexec) and could not get this to work properly. Simply went into cwm and flashed the return-to-stock zip that he has listed in his thread on rootz and tried again, and it worked perfectly! Just be sure to follow ALL steps in this exact order, and you'll be golden.
Great write up bro. I really appreciate the extensive instructions! Super easy and fool proof

After that open any cut. create a shortcut to the hidden menu. to do this click on new shortcut. then click on activity. scroll down until you see IOTHiddenMenu. click on it . it should make a short cut to the hidden menu.
Once in the menu, choose the option for USBSettingsMenu, then choose the option RMNET+DM+MODEM.
Not sure how to do the shortcut to the hidden menu. How did I start a new shortcut?

Ok it seems there are some people that are a little lazy or simply dont want to go back to stock to back up there imie. i will list the steps that i used to backup my imei running synergy nightly. i barrowed most of the steps from this link
i take no credit for this i am just trying to help some of you out
should work on any TW based rom
All credit to Peoplearmy for the intial write-up
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32397-tutorial-imei-backup-nv-with-qpst-us-variants/
by now you know that the hidden menu will not open in most custom roms. this does not apply to aosp roms or aokp . here is what i did
and as usual if u bork your phone nmp. so dont get mad at me
link to anycut.apk is at the very bottom of this post
Now go to your phone, its time to enable the hidden menu. On Verizon or Sprint, go to the dialer and dial *#22745927 . Choose the option to enable the Hidden Menu. After that open any cut. create a shortcut to the hidden menu. to do this click on new shortcut. then click on activity. scroll down until you see IOTHiddenMenu. click on it . it should make a short cut to the hidden menu.
Once in the menu, choose the option for USBSettingsMenu, then choose the option RMNET+DM+MODEM. Hook up the phone to the PC via USB at this time if you haven't already. This option works on STOCK TOUCHWIZ (it can be rooted).
OK. Now go to your PC Control Panel. We need to get into the Device Manager to determine where your phone is being recognized as far as the COM ports. For this, go to System -> Device Manager (on the left) or System -> Hardware -> Device Manager (depends on your Control Panel setup). Anyways, scroll down to Ports (may say Ports & LTP, Serial, depends on version). Anyways, find your phone under it, and take note of the COM# (mine was COM9, yours can and probably will vary). If you have exclamation marks anywhere then install the Samsung drivers and try again.
OK. Now go to Start Menu -> All Programs -> QPST -> QPST Configuration
Click on the Ports tab. Click on Add New Port, then add your Port# where it says Port and name it something you can remember. Hit OK.
Now click on Start Clients -> Software Download. Click on the Backup tab. Make sure your phone is listed under Port. If its not, hit Browse, choose the COM that is your phone, and hit OK. Now where it says QCN File, hit Browse, find a safe spot to store your backup on your PC, and name it. Hit OK. Now hit Start. Make sure backup gets to 100% with no errors.
Congratulations, you now have your backup made! Flash away!
Don't forget to go into your phone hidden menu again and change USB mode back to MTP so you can use it to access the phone storage.
If it bricks sometime in the future:
Go back into QPST. Go to Start Clients -> Software Download. Click on the Restore tab. Make sure your phone is listed under Port. If not, browse to the appropriate COM port. Choose your QCN backup in the other box. Click Start, let it finish. Phone should reboot. If it fails rebooting, just do a manual reboot. First boot will take a bit, let it do its thing.
AS PER THE USUAL, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE! IF YOU FOLLOW THESE STEPS -TO A T- YOU SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUES, BUT QPST IS A VERY POWERFUL PROGRAM, SO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
HAPPY FLASHING!

Ok I'm going to be very calm. How the hell do you open an app that you don't have?
It's common sense. Man if the guide said to open tapatalk and you didn't have the app one would assume you download it. That way you can open it
And feel free to facepalm yourself. The Apk for anycut is linked in the post. So why would you not install it if you didn't have it?
