I was able to install android 4.3 via a zip file on my Samsung Galaxy s4. I can't find the Users settings to modify my restricted profiles. It doesn't seem to be under Settings or anywhere else. Is the profiles settings not on a mobile phone just on a tablet?
I'm . Help!

Restricted profiles - yes, it is only on tablets by default. I'm sure that custom ROMs make that available for phones, but on the stock ROM, restricted profiles is not available on phones.

Hi,
I've read the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287992
The question i have and a few others who are past the ME2 Firmware, is, does this actual mod depend on the baseband the phone is on? or can the service menu be ported to higher versions of S4 Firmwares, as i have tried the mod, but like most people, we are already past the supported Firmwares, or is their some sort of another MOD to enable this feature?
Kind Regards

there you have a solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369296
there is a special app to call service menu, even if dialer service codes do not work any more (on past ME2 firmwares). you can buy it in Play Store or download apk for free from developer website
hi guys
I have an s4 i9500 and would like to know (sorry the ignorance) if on this set i can have hotspot for regular wifi connection and not only with network connection.
When i try to create a tether setting the phone automatically shuts the existing wifi connection.
Is there a driver that will allow to create an option for hotspot on wifi. I saw a video that creates something similar on a 9505 odexed. my issue is is there such a file for the 9500, also i believe i saw a file but for a very old rom version. Currently i am running i9500xxufna6 on android 4.4.2
the file i saw was for an older android version and i am not sure it would work on 4.4.2
Can anyone point me in the right direction, i need to tether my tablet to the phone but i want to use my home router rather than my phone company.
Any help will be greatly apprecited
thanks
Hi. I received a Samsung Galaxy S5 as a gift about a month ago, but it's missing so many features I have no idea why.
My friend has exactly the same model, yet he has so many more options. For example,
I cannot edit the options for Power Saving mode
There is NO S voice on my apps page
The Sound Recorder looks just like the one from S4 and not S5, it also has NO options either, to configure it
Cannot change several options on the Camera, such as setting the brightness. The option is there, but it's greyed out, I cannot select it
I cannot update the android version. My current version is 4.4.2 and I cannot update it. As I access the 'System Updates', it does say 'Checking for update', but after a while it just says 'Network connection failed' no matter what. The signal for internet is the strongest, as well.
If I press and hold on the Home Screen, the whole options are not coming up either, such as seeing the current running applications. It just says 'Set wallpaper for', 'Apps and widgets' and 'Folder'.
What's wrong with it? Any way I can at least get the S voice?
Your phone might have a custom ROM. Go to settings -> About and list the following information so we know what we're dealing with here:
Model name
Baseband version
Kernel version

SM-G900F is the European version of S5 and from what I see there are some discrepancies with the kernel number ...
So here is my hypothesis:
A. It has the incorrect ROM, which means flashing a 900F ROM should bring back those grayed out menus
B. It is a clone and not the real thing! Try reading some more by googling this "3.4.5 [email protected] #1 sm-g900f"
Thank you for the reply. I will ask where has the gift been specifically bought from to ponder on the "clone" thesis. I really, really hope such is not the case. Also, will it only bring back the greyed menus and ignore the 'S Voice' problem?
Regarding the 900F flash, do you think it's okay follow this guide in the attachment? (Have to do it this way cause I can't post links)
I would not try to flash anything before you're sure what you have in your hands cause if it's fake and you try to flash official Samsung rom you would be in trouble. Download Phone info Samsung from play store and check there if it's a original s5
this seems to be common specs of clone s5 phones that i am guessing need the appropriate custom rom - would anyone know if the given specs/details above would be enough to identify a specific custom rom - i have the same specs and when i did a hard reset it let loose a mass of spyware, adware, downloaded numerous playstore games and porn site links all as soon as i put the phone online - i am therefore desperate to find a clean custom rom that matches the above specs - i am hoping as doves above for an appropriate custom rom source
I have a verizon sm-900v note3
but I dont live in the states , it says my phone is unlocked when I start it
but I cant update it via the device it self
I cant use other features like hotspot
I was wondering if it is possible to use odein to update my phone to a non-verizon
version of android
and would that make the verizon specific features go away ?
If yes, how ?
Or is is it only possible to update it to verizon specific operating system
and I never updated my device, still running on 4.3
I apologies, but I am new to android in general and to smart phones
thank you

4.3
haven't updated the device to 4.4
You cant bootloader is locked. But you can maybe find some apps that workaround your issues you can try to see if xposed offers something to help. You may aso be able to install a custom rom on it if you can get root. You can also check app store maybe an app can solve some of you probems.

No...the Verizon version of the Note 3 will not take any other carrier's operating system.
The "unlocked" means SIM unlocked and you can use any carrier's SIM in it.

Hi
Just brought my Mrs, A Tab 4 Wifi edition. I want to see if it is possible to bypass the three network block on tethering.
Just recently updated the Samsung S4 to lollipop.
What i would like to use is the phone as hotspot or internet sharing for the tablet.
i hope somebody has some ideas or has been able to do this.
thank you.
I don't think the operator can even see that you are tethering to your tablet.
I've tried every route possible, creating a wifi ir bluetooth hotspot,but not possible. Get message saying I cannot tether, need to purchase a add-on.
No add on available until I upgarde.
update: just tried her sim card in my s5 which is running Phoenix Rom, tethering working fine no message nothing.
she is running stock rooted android.
It's likely the firmware was customized by Three to remove tethering. Your options?
1. Root and install a custom ROM.
2. Install the BTU Samsung firmware for the S4. BTU has no carrier branding or modifications.
I don't think changing the rom is a option coz she doesn't want to lose all her photos messages etc. Baiscally she has already TOLD me I'm not allowed to do that.
Is there anything possible I can do without changing the rom.
Unless you want to pay for the tethering, there's no way I can think of other than changing ROMs.

You know you can back them up? And even so, if you flash a custom rom, then you won't wipe the photos.
Yea I know I can back them up and stuff it take some time though. You wonder if there was a work around like a exposed or hack or something.
