you need to change "gtalk_vc_wifi_on" value to "false" in the gservices.db (main)in /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases

How can the above be accomplished with a text editor?

I downloaded Gtalk Enabler called "Enable Video Chat over 3G/4G" app. I am rooted and when i launched the app i did allow super user app access, however when i test it still asks me to enable wifi. I tried to reboot and all and still does not work. I'm running CM10, thanks.

I am rooted, but I don't know how to complete the task. If i download SQLitemanager and aShell free how do i complete the task? So far i tried downloading SQLitemanager and looking for the path mentioned above, but I cannot find it. Thanks for all your help.

So i downloaded Ashell and SQlite manager. I am able to navigate to data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases and located the file called gservices.db. I click on it and open it, then it goes to a screen to select which app i want to use to open it. I was assuming I should use SQlitemanager, however it is not listed as one of the apps to choose to edit. I see a bunch of other apps the only one that i can even get close enough to edit with is text editor. I did find the ""gtalk_vc_wifi_on" value to "false"" line however it is not exactly like you wrote shows up as ""gtalk_vc_wifi_only6& Q plusone:enable_instant_share_video58"
Not sure if i can use text editor to edit this i don't want to screw this up. Any input or guidance is greatly appreciated, thanks.

when you select "gservices.db" in ashell you should get a warning asking if you want to get a copy of the file, answer yes
asqlitemanager should now be available as one of the options to open the db
once it opens the gservices.db select "main"
in table "main" select "Data"
hit "PgDn" until you find the following line "gtalk_vc_wifi_only" and hit edit on the left hand-side
change value "true" to "false" and hit "oK"
hit back button a couple of times and you should get a prompt asking you if yo want to "commit changes" answer yes
before you try to initiate a gtalk over data make sure you kill/restart the gtalk app (you may wanna clear cache and data, doesn't hurt}
Done !

Strange that is exactly what I been trying to do, however when I click on the services.db and choose yes to make a copy I then do not get SQLiteManage as one of the apps to choose from.
Could it be because I need the paid sqeditor?

Aww that was the problem I Dowloaded sqlmanagerlite instead of Asqlmanagerlite.
FYI I followed all the steps you provided, however the value was already set to false.I'm using CM10 maybe the dev made that change by default..problem is I can't make talk video calls without getting the pop up message that I need to turn on WiFi. Any thoughts?? Also its weird how I have been able to make video calls by default in the pass sometimes I wouldn't get the pop up message asking me to enable WiFi and sometimes I would.

make sure you're looking at the right value in the db. force stop the app and restart it.

I am looking at the correct value. Even trued clearing the cache and disabling the app, however no luck. See attached screen shots.

did you commit changes ?? Also make sure you go to your task manager and kill the app and then restart it.

I did save the settings however those settings you see on the sqlmanager was already like that. I also killed the app in task manager and cleared cache. Not sure if its because I'm running CM10 or what the reason is.
Thanks for trying to help me, I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Sucks BC my friends who have the Samsung Galaxy S3 don't have this issue with stock.

How do you like AOKP rom?

It seems the JB version of the talk app doesn't recognize that DB change as it still displays the prompt even when the database has been modified.

[Q] keyboard drop down while writing

Hello,
I have a strange problem.
when I use the keyboard (I tried the latest version of "Go Keyboard" and "SwiftKey X") to write a message or enter to a website the keyboard dropdown and I need to click on the text box to reopen the keyboard.
It is really annoying... I tried to look for a solution in the internet but I couldnt find anything.
thank!
This has happened to me on several occasions as well...it always went away on its own, though, so I have no idea what caused it.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
happens every time i open the browser, very annoying. its like i try to type in the text box and all of a sudden it disappears and tries to auto guess what i was typing. thought it was my phone, turned out to be dolphin browser in my case. using stock browser again and is fine. however, my data connection sucks and even on wifi in my house 15 feed from the router it loses signal.
Odd, I had the problem with my stock browser mostly, now that you mention it...and I haven't had the problem at all with Dolphin, that I remember.
It's really annoying!
Changing rom can fix that out?

It may (MAY) be an issue with the process itself: android.com.multitouchkeyboard. If you could find a way to just restart that process I think you can at least mitigate the problem. Have you tried a factory reset?
I know, it sucks, but when you get an odd system-based glitch like this (and it's a software issue) usually a factory reset fixes it. If that doesn't do it, something in the O/S may be corrupted, and flashing an fxz to stock 2.3.6 may help.
Also, are you using a sdcard, and if so what size/class? You could try removing the sdcard and see if the problem persists...

Also another one..
When lets say i open browser and type something in the address window like "xda atrix" and hit enter,it of course pulls up google with that search which is fine. But...if i try and click on the input box on the actuall google site ,and i start typing ..the browser will automatically scroll to the bottom of the page while im typing and continue to type in another box. And if u try and scroll back to the top,it wont let u. It will scroll right back down to the bottom so your forced to again use the actuall browser input box for another google search.

Well, nonetheless, you have to wipe data/factory reset in CWM in order to install many of the custom roms out there... just sayin'!
Use the stock browser instead of dolphin or go or whatever. It will do it less. Even a custom rom will do the same thing. My favorite is trying to type something and then it tries to auto fill which means the keyboard pops outta sight and you accidently hot resturants which pops up another screen and the, you have to go back and retype what you were looking for! Very frustrating! Anybody know if this problem is on other phones? Like the samsung s3? I'm even using a different keyboard (A.I. keyboard which is great so far) and the same browser broblem exists. Texting is fine...

You on stock rooted? I have not changed any of my files (other then framework.apk - to bypass verizon charging me to use the built in tether ). I flashed this and works great, from the google search on the main screen i just click on the mic and it brings it right up...
Voice Dialer is messed up
I originally posted this in the Apps forum; but it is probably more appropriate here:
I installed Google Now and the search works fine. However, when I initiate the voice dialer via my BT headset, I hear very fast, unintelligible gibberish. When I say "Call Bill Johnson" it returns totally inaccurate results and the voice is at 4X speed. S Voice, while somewhat inaccurate, worked 80-90% of the time via BT.
Does anyone else who has done this on their S3 have a working BT initiated voice dialer?
Are you having issues with having GN send text to contacts or sending "note to self"? I am having issue with both. I tried to do the work around using Calendar as a contact and then having GN send a sms to it so that it will post but most of the time it ends up doing a google search on "text calendar....ect". "note to self..." gives me a black screen and then an FC shortly after. I'm using the M6 zip file.

I cant get it to send any text messages, i think it might be since i have the software with the phone search removed? - might need to let the original developer know using the link in my original threat.

I sending a text message is hit or miss i guess, however i never got it to actually do it for me automatically. if i say "text mike hey whats up" it will pull up mike (sometimes/not consistently) and have my message "hey whats up" ready for sending but i have to actually go again and finalize the send. It's not like with S voice or Vlingo where it will send it for you if there is high confidence or if you tell it to send. I guess we'll just have to wait until proper version of Jellybean come out for our phones (GS3 VZW in my case). Till then we'll just have to deal with not so perfect Google Now.

Should be able to go into the applications and clear the cache for Google search/voice - so when you double click home it will ask which you want to use? not 100% sure, but usually that's how you reset options like that.

Tried that already with no success. I apologize I should have included that in my post. I however cannot find voice dialer in the app list. Is it named something else? I ask because when double clicking home, it doesn't launch the google now search, it launches a desperate google voice dialer. Thanks

Should just be the Google search one, if you haven't already tried that one. also, check the original threat I posted i belive they have an "uninstall" option? that would be the only other option i can think of. I don't use voice dial. sorry.
So to install this, you just need to download the zip file and flash in recovery? I read through the other link and its seems confusing. I'm not sure if I need 6 or 7. And the warning stated if I don't know what one I need I shouldn't be attempting it. So I'm nervous.
Do the mikey7 version. To get offline and online dload the biggest file. On an s3 you should be Ok doing the big file. Just download put on root of your sd card and on recovery flash the zip file. I've been using it but I don't use the cards to save battery. I just use the voice search. It's much better than s voice or the voice search of ics. Check on howbibused home2shortcut to assign it to the home button by clicking my name to see my posts. You will enjoy it.

[Q] Help connecting my Galaxy S Blaze w/ Provision V3 to my computer.

Usually when I connect my phone to my computer, it gives me an option to activate USB storage and I can transfer data between PC and phone. I just installed the latest version of Provision and I can't find any option anywhere on how to link my phone to my PC. Can someone tell me how I link them?
Also, can I reinstall widgets such as TaskKiller? I tried via Google Play and I can't find it on my phone.

For the USB storage. You go into settings/storage then press menu key. Click USB Connection and then it gives you a few options. Click USB mass storage.. Now when you connect your phone to the computer, it will ask if you want to transfer files..

I tried that, it would show the options then they would all close. I ended up starting from scratch and reinstalling Provision and now I'm waiting for it to boot again. It took several hours last time, is that normal and should I expect that again? If not, what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it working. I just had to clear the dalvik and wipe data. I got all of my apps, widgets, and songs back. Noob mistake, probably should've looked into what I was doing a little bit more before I just started installing things, definitely more complex than jail breaking an iPhone/iPod. Let this be a lesson to any other noob who stumbles upon this thread. Don't be cautious with deleting your data, it will be backed up and you'll get it all back. I love Provision, great work!
Since I can't yet post on the original thread, I'll post my feedback here:
•The battery is dying quicker than it normally would with this. I listen to music throughout the day and before I got Provision, it would be at about 80% at this time of the day, but now it's at 60%. I believe the cause might be Ac!d, Dolby, and DPS manager. Also, I downloaded a task manager app (it would be great if you could include the stock task manager for s Blazes, that one is by far the best) and the Play Store refuses to close.
•The pull down menu is a little buggy, sometimes it only comes down a little bit, then shoots back up. The problem is usually fixed over time, but can be annoying.
•I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't install Swype onto my phone. I have a Zip file for it and I followed instructions exactly and it won't install. I tried going to Settings>Language & Input>Default>Set up input methods to find it, but then Settings crashes. If I could make a suggestion for a future update, I think the Swype keyboard would be a nice addition. I tried TouchPal, but it was just an awful experience.

*I deleted DSP manager from the ROM. It can't be AC!D and Dolby because it only turns on when your listening to music. Like I said on the Provision Thread, use different kernels like LZ or Blue lighting. Play store is fine in my end..
*I have no idea why the notification drawer does that. A quick fix is to just hit notifications again then close it..
*Look for a Swype apk. There are apks lying around XDA like the Beta one. To install it, just click on it like any other apk.. If it doesnt install, push it to system/app and set permissions.

Also, I downloaded a task manager app (it would be great if you could include the stock task manager for s Blazes, that one is by far the best) and the Play Store refuses to close.
•The pull down menu is a little buggy, sometimes it only comes down a little bit, then shoots back up. The problem is usually fixed over time, but can be annoying.
•I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't install Swype onto my phone. I have a Zip file for it and I followed instructions exactly and it won't install. I tried going to Settings>Language & Input>Default>Set up input methods to find it, but then Settings crashes. If I could make a suggestion for a future update, I think the Swype keyboard would be a nice addition. I tried TouchPal, but it was just an awful experience.

1. App killers are useless...this is a Linux system not a bloated wincrap.
2. Beta Swype installs fine.
3. Pull down menu is extremely buggy. I have to relock and unlock my phone up to 5 times to get it to pull down.
4. the kernel that came with this is CM10 (i think), so yeah it will drain fast. Install LZ 2.3.6

I have 2 more issues. The first one is my storage. I can't take pictures or make recordings. I just get a message saying my USB storage is running out of space. I can download music and apps, but I can't use my phone's camera. The second issue is that I can't screen shot. I would assume there is a way, but holding power and home don't work anymore. Please help.

Get a file explorer, delete any unnecessary folders cache ,the Lost.Dir folder, clear downloads you don't need should free up a lot of space. Screenshots can be took by pressing power and volume down, or go to settings/ power menu/ add screenshot,

To screenshot use power & volume down button. Or you can just add it to your power menu.

I tried that, my storage isn't even close to full. I have no idea what's going on. I wanted to add a screen shot to show you my storage, but my phone won't let me save them.

Try a different camera app or see if you can select your SD card in the settings. I use camerzoom fx.

A different app fixed the problem, thanks.

This is what it looks like when my phone says I have no USB storage left. It says to clear my SD card of some pictures, but there aren't much pictures and these bars are barely half full. This is the last thing I'll hopefully need help with.

CANNOT OPEN FILE error message

My college daughter just got herself a Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. She has Office Suite installed.
When she downloads a .doc file and taps on it to open, she gets the error above (CANNOT OPEN FILE). If she opens OfficeSuite and select this file it opens without a problem. It does not happen with .pdf files for example.
Any idea what it might be and how to fix this?
Thanks.
I dont use that software but, my guess would be go into settings, manage apps, then look for office suite program. Click on clear defaults. Now when she clicks on a .doc it should ask her what app she would like to use to open it.

I tried that, it didn't help. It's not even getting to a point where she is asked to select an app to open the file, it just says CANNOT OPEN FILE and it says that about any .doc file.
Im at a loss, you could try google quick office. It is supposed to be quite good. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck.

Thanks. As I said, we don't even get to the option of selecting which app to use, it just point blank tells us "cannot open".

How to access IOTHiddenMenu?

So I am on CleanROMm 8.2. Yeah a little bit outdated. I have tried all the dialer methods and the creating a shortcut method with a different launcher. The hidden menu option does not appear in any of the activities in both Nova and Launcher Pro. I want to check if my phone is refurbished. (I know random for a phone this old), but I love it. So I want to check.
Anyone have any suggestions?
IOTHiddenMenu exists when I look it up in my apps. Just need to access it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
if your handphone was root, you can try edit file build.prop in /system
or download app build prop editor in Playstore, and add this
Code:
Property name: sys.hiddenmenu.enable
Property value : 1
Tried editing in build prop. No luck. I also added this property and value. Just can't access the menu anywhere. Not even in shortcuts!
Thanks for the help though!

So I did what you told me and rebooted the phone. I use AnyCut to create the shortcut for IOTHiddenMenu. When I try clicking the shortcut...I get the "Application not installed" message.
I have added the code in build prop editor with the value of one as well.
Thanks

You have to go into
/efs/carrier/hiddenmenu
(No extension, but its a text file)
Change the contents from "OFF" to "ON" and reboot.
Only works on TW ROMs though I think? Could be totally wrong on that, I guess it *is* only an app, and probably doesn't rely on TW framework.
And even then, only certain menu items still work. Back when the phone came out lots more work. Just google around for some codes you need and try them out.

Yeah I noticed it was still there just a minute ago, haven't checked if the app is still in /system/app though. Will report back!
EDIT:
Not there, I guess it makes sense though, its in the /system folder which I wipe when I install CM.

So when I use ES File explorer to get to the efs folder...it is empty. -__- I know the application is installed because I installed it. The shortcuts still do not work though.
By the way thank you guys for the responses.

You must not have enabled "root" from the tools menu of ES browser. I think that's an EXTREMELY important folder for imei/efs/carrier stuff and it persists through ROMs, so every gs3 has stuff in it.

What exactly is it you're trying to do? Probably only available from the stock Samsung dialer as a guess, which means only TW ROMs.
Edit:
Just read you're on CleanRom which is TW based.
I don't really know what shortcut you're talking about, but pretty sure the app can't be run/opened like normal apps.
The way you open it is via dialer codes,
i.e. going into the stock Samsung dialer and typing codes such as *#0*# (dont click call/send, it will open automatically) to get to the extremely basic hardware diagnostic test.
Now, the average user isn't supposed to get into this menu, so most of the codes no longer work, since people figured out the ones to benefit themselves, such as the WiFi offloading which gets rid of the annoying "please connect to WiFi network" or whatever that was constantly in the notification bar.
The above code is one of the few that still work, you'll just have to google around to find some that still work on the 4.3 (?) TouchWiz rom.
Other than that, you may just be SOL, since they removed so many.
Good luck!
