I know in the past carrierIQ has been absent from default Samsung configurations, but as a paranoid individual I was wondering if anyone who has the phone yet has seen anything suspicious in the processes

It won't have it my fellow Ohioan....:highfive:
Tmobile version does.

Ran the Lookout Labs detector and didn't find anything.
I believe only the T Mobile one has it.

And from what I've read, it's configured so the user can easily disable it.

Is there an app out there that can show what is currently using wifi on the Nexus 7? I just picked up my tablet and I noticed that there is wifi activiy and I would like an app that shows what exactly is using the connection since I don't have anything running that should be having a constant connection? So kind of like a firewall but without the need to block programs. I just want to see what is using the connection
Just look at the notification bar. It is posted there.

The notification bar does not tell me what process is using the internet. The wifi icon just shows network activity. I want to know what is causing that network activity
Oh, my bad man. I thought you needed to know which network you are on. Sorry about that. In fact I've been looking for something like that too.
You could always try using the data usage feature in your settings to see what might be doing it. Go to it, wait a minute or so and then refresh it. Whatever numbers have changed in that time are the culprits.
Afterwards I'd recommend Droidwall if you actually do want to block certain apps from the internet. Assuming you're rooted that is.

I play nova 3 on my GS4 but it refuses to use my data network, only wifi. So how do I make it think my data is wifi?

Check the settings in the app. If you can't toggle it there you probably won't be able to do it. Why do you want to waste all your data playing a game anyway

I could think of a few reasons. Perhaps while travelling or in an are that has no WiFi. Also, some of us still have unlimited data plans.
Well, the app is going to be looking for two system variables: a true return if the Wifi is enabled and a true return if a valid Wifi connection is established. You can't trick the program, its looking at device states which can't be changed.
Without an option in the app itself, this is a no go.

Yeah but on the iPhone theres a jailbreak app that does this it just spoofs the device to think that it is connected through wifi when it is really data, I'm not sure if it spoofs the whole phone or the app, but I really thought it was possible... but you're probably right. I guess I'm just stuck using wifi.

Should be the same as always.
Touch and hold on the network you want to change
Choose Modify network
Check Show advanced options
Change the DNS settings

Hmm...not sure. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it on 4.3 and above. Not that I've found so far, anyway. One kind of roundabout way might be to make a VPN connection, and then specify the DNS settings for the VPN connection? Not sure about that, but it seems like it might work.
If you have root, use DNS Changer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eddypcz.dnschanger
One of the Android app I can't live without.

Does it work? Reviewers say it doesn't work with Android 4.3 (and we can assume 4.4).

I didn't know if you have 4.3+. I asked, because as recently as 4 days ago, reviewers of the app said it doesn't work on 4.3.

Hi, I am the developer of DNSwitch.
I got contradicting reports that on 4.3+ it doesn't do it or does what it's supposed to do and have started looking for info if there is any API change. And ended up here. It could be just trolls (to push the paid competition, for example ) so confirmation would be helpful. So is this a definitive YES that it does work on your device?
Anyone else's info on the subject would be welcome as well, of course.
Thanks.

I don't get that 'OpenDNS filters' thing. Does that mean the dns port is blocked by your ISP? In that case you really only can channel out your DNS requests thru vpn (nice enough by them to allow port 443/https traffic, I suppose? )
Blocking basic internet services is dumb IMHO...
Anyone know how to turn off the setting where the contact name is announced on an incoming call? I can't find it

My phone doesn't do that. I've gotta believe that it's because I "turned off" "Caller Name ID"

The Verizon one...and no it doesn't... Well it does add contacts when they're not in my contacts already, otherwise it doesn't solve the problem I was having... I've already solved that, which you would have seen if you read the previous posts, it seems to be a bug where if you turn in voice answer and end calls, then it'll also turn on the talk back feature that verbally tells you who us calling
