Yeah, thats because it just comes right back shortly.

I was able to stop it. An hour later it has yet to start running. All stock here

I'm totally stock as well, and it came back pretty quickly. It may get re-activated if you use an app or such, but it definitely came back for me...

Oh well... after about 2 hours it came back... and now pops back on in seconds when I stop it
I guess no way to stop this with out root?

FACT: You can not disable it being on stock. To remove it you would need to root and flash a custom rom with it removed. Just letting you all know. Check out the skyrocketeer rom in dev section, its awesome
Also, for the people that are scared to root because of voiding warranty, there are two easy solutions.
1. Just unroot it, flash a stock rom or something.
2. Brick your phone by some means and if your rooted but it doesnt power on, they can not tell you rooted it. Just tell them you woke up and it was like that or something..

No data randomly

Just got my GS3 yesterday. Rooted before I paid for it I'm running the stock OS with root but I seem to lose my data connection constantly. It stays lost until I toggle airplane mode. Any way to fix this? Thanks

I have this same problem, but it happened to me after I had lost my IMEI and then manually injected it myself. I've ready tried reprovisioning about 3 times, but to no avail. Idk if our problem is caused by the same thing or not, but it is extremely bothersome, isn't it? I wish some genius could help us

I didn't do anything with the IMEI except back it up using the terminal emulator and the "reboot nvbackup" command. Not even sure if it did anything or not. How do you reprovision the phone? What does that even [claim to] do? A google search shows a lot of people complaining about this. I hope someone comes along and helps too.

If you reprovision, it will wipe all your data and such. Idk if you wanna try it. I only tried it because someone suggested it, but it was pointless. So, if you were gonna try that, you would want to nandroid backup first. The way to reprovision if you're interested is dial *2767*3855# that'll do the trick for you. I hope someone comes along to help as well. After a while some fix usually comes around. Just gotta be patient sometimes

Interesting. I wonder what the reprovisioning actually does. I didn't flash CWM yet since I'm running the stock bootloader, and it is locked. I heard that unlocking the bootloader can cause trouble if an OTA update changes things on it.

I would suggest that you just download ROM Manager from the app store, open it up, and at the very top it will say flash clockwork mod recovery. Hit that and it should be a done deal. Let me know if you have any problems

Thanks. That worked, and I now have CWM installed. I also did a backup to internal SD. Is the SGS3 like the Galaxy Nexus? (Meaning that even rooted, the stock OS will overwrite CWM with the default bootloader)

About data/signal issue, that's not your IMEI. It more than likely is your sim card. I had to get 2 replacements from Verizon due to a weak signal. Another simple thing to try is to be sure data roaming is ON in the settings menu, and restart. That is known to work. Rooting prob did not cause this to happen, the S3 has signal issues to begin with. Do not start running scripts to attempt to fix without going through the verizon fixes first. Stay on stock rom, hide your root apps and bring in to get sim card. They won't check for root.
Plan B is to call *611 and speak to someone, they can push a signal code through to fix. Don't say your rooted!

Oh but we shall see what happens when I change towers. To compare, and diagnose this issue, how is your phone setup. Mine is as follows:
Purchased at: Small business authorized reseller
Contract: On contract
Purchase date: 9/5/12 (opened a new account, not adding a line)
OS/ROM: Stock 4.0.4
Rooted: Yes
Bootloader: Locked (had it unlocked temporarily to see if I could do it, but I relocked it to diagnose the data issue)
Recovery: CWM
ICS Encryption: Not turned on (I don't think I can use it now that I have CWM installed anyway)
Apps that run at boot: Call Recorder by Skvalex
Root apps installed: SuperUser (duh), Rom Manager, CallRecorder, Terminal Emulator (used it to execute "reboot nvbackup" as a supposed IMEI backup method)

So far all I've done is "reboot nvbackup" to supposedly backup my IMEI, but I have no idea if it did anything. I'll double check data roaming, but I don't want to rack up a roaming bill. Also I don't have to worry about my store finding out if I root. The sales guy helped me root it before I even paid for it.

The guy I dealt with helped with root questions for me too at actually vzw store... Funny! Sim should do the trick. And yes, that script you ran backed your IMEI correctly, so it's not that. Data roaming is to see if it improves issue, if it does, your having network issues that are not phone related. There is no reason to keep that option on unless your lost in the woods and need data!

I know it's IMEI, I was just saying it started happening after I got it back. The Roaming thing didn't work for me. Would you suggest getting a new SIM card first or calling *611?

Hey does flashing either of those two delete all data?

If you have the lastest OTA stock from JB, I wouldn't use that link. That isn't the right version, I think that was an earlier leak. I wish someone had a better answer than KindaCrap 'cause IMHO KindaCrap should be called LotsOCrap since it has so much stuff I don't care about in it.

[Guide] Enable Tethering/Hotspot - Samsung S4 AT&T I337 (4.3 & 4.2.2)

Here are easy steps to enable tethering/hotspot on your Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T I337.
When I was on 4.2.2 Xposed MODs that enable tethering worked fine. However, they don't work on 4.3, or at least that what I experienced.
***** You have to be ROOTED, otherwise, you will not be able to rename system files. ********
Here are very easy steps to follow. Works perfectly!
1. Go to Settings --> More --> Tab on Application Manager
2. Go to All tab (By scrolling Vertically)
3. Find AT&T Hot Spots and click it
4. When App info opens, click Turn off
Now AT&T Hotspot is turned off (The above steps just to ensure that AT&T hotspot is off
"If you don't find AT&T Hot Spots, then it means you dont have the app. That is good. Follow the below steps"
5. Use whatever app that allows you to rename system files such as ES Explorer or Script Manager ( Prefer Script Manager as ES doesn't give root permission on 4.3, until now)
6. Download the attached file and save to your phone. Know exactly where you saved it, so you can use it later on. ( I would have given credit to the person who ported the file, but i don't know to whom it belongs to. So, Thank you XXX!)
5. Browse to System/app and rename TetheringProvision.apk and TetheringProvision.odex . Rename them to any name that you want, or just change apk and odex to bak (This way, you can rename them back in case the steps did not work for you)
6. After you finish replacing the files, go to your folder where you saved the attached file and copy it to system/app
7. Reboot your phone.
As easy as that! Attached is a proof picture
Now go to your phone and enable Tethering. If a message popped up saying "There is a temporary network problem...", or any other error messages, such as call 611, don't worry, Tethering WILL BE ENABLED. Just click OK. within 5 seconds, you will see the lovely hotspot icon at the status bar :laugh:
Enjoy it
While this is a very safe and easy steps, however, as it goes with all MODs and system changes, i claim no responsibility if your phone is bricked or other apps started to act funny. ​
Good luck

Does this also enable bluetooth tethering that we have lost all together. Like an idiot I am already paying at&t for tethering so don't need this unless it enables bluetooth so as to use with my gear. Thanks btw and excellent work.

I have never used it as it's slow, that is why they started to offer the tethering over Wi-Fi. but it looks like it is working as showing on the attachment. Did not try it though

Haven't gotten the notification yet. I only rooted to get the stock Web browser back, but wouldn't mind keeping it on just in case. Doesn't look like a significant update.

Phone is still s-off after update.
