Now it clearly says WiFi toggle but I don't have that on my phone

Did anyone get the mysterious wifi toggle after the update? I don't on mine, and I forgot to check my wife's phone before she left, but I'm sure its another thing Verizon added in the log, but didn't add to the device.

reads like a list of what we "blame" on our dev community. :laugh:

Yes, I have it on my 32gb model.

I am not sure of this, but it is likely a factory reset could be needed to gain the WiFi toggle

That's very odd because they clearly state a toggle was added in the change log. .What if you click the edit button, does it show a wifi toggle in the toggle settings screen?

I have no toggle. I tried all the settings I could think of. Im stumped

yeah i tried editing the toggles, everything. Just don't have it. I know some do and some don't. Has anyone who who doesn't have it tried a master reset!

I have it. I didn't upgrade tho I flashed the factory image.

just wondering if those that got the Wi-Fi are all 32gig????

can u provide the factory image. How did you flash it since were no longer rooted? through ODIN? does your wifi hotspot work without subscription check? Heard it works for those on data plans and not on unlimited

Something else I've noticed. I used to use floating notifications, but stopped due to the talkback bug. After the update, I installed FN just to give it another try, and the bug is gone.
Anyone else notice this?
Also, to the guy that asked, I have the wifi toggle and use the 16g version.

I updated (after numerous tries) with the Verizon BS software, and of course, don't have the toggle (its not really the end of the world that I don't), I just find it odd that others do, and others don't. I have the 16GB, and a few who say they have the toggle have stated they have the 32GB (that shouldn't make a difference anyhow). I guess if I get bored enough later, I'll wipe my device and see if it brings it back (just so those who don't have it, and *want* it, know how to *maybe* get it back).

I don't have the WiFi toggle either. Quick thought...
Those of you that don't have the Wi-Fi toggle. Did you rearrange the order?
Those of you that do have the toggle, were you still on the default order?
Might be something to it. I rearranged my toggles...

Just got off the phone with VZ about the Wi-Fi not being included in the notification bar as stated in the changelog. They tell me Samsung is aware and will update the update in September or we could try a factory reset which will resend the update. Just repeating what I was told.

You have to go to Verizon's website and get rid of the feature that's causing it. For wifi try to modify it (long click) and click advanced, change the IP to static, fill in the blanks with what you see there, save and exit then modify again and change IP back to the other option. Then it may connect and disconnect a few times just let it go and it should work

Sign into Verizon and click change features (first pic.) Select ur device and click next. Then go through the list and just disable all features that r enabled (2nd pic) (I don't remember the exact feature for fixing the problem so just disable them all or disable one at a time then click next towards the bottom to confirm the change)

Once I disabled the features I stopped getting the texts. The last two I got had stop or something in them. I also deleted my email account just in case after I disabled the features from Verizon. Since then I haven't gotten anything. Google it that's what I did and those r the steps it took me through

i have looked everywhere and cannot find them. can one of you please post the link...they got so bad i had to put my stock rom back on...the texts are numbers...i got a bunch with the number 1 then 2 then 3 and one was 4....then they went back to 1, i kept wiping cache and all....so please post the link and could someone plleeeasee tell me whats causing this all of a sudden cause my girlfriend has the exact same rom flashed and she is not getting any texts like this....
So when I worked for a wireless kiosk we had a lot of issues like this. It ended up being backup assistant plus. We would take that off peoples accounts and that would stop the texts.

If you get the text messages from Verizon (6250 or whatever). This is how you get rid of that. Login to your Verizon Wireless account. Towards the top, mouse over where it says "My Verizon" and look under "My Plans and Services" and click on "Change Features." Select your phone or the phone that is getting the messages. Now when the next page comes up, look for "Cloud Storage and Sync" and remove the Email Sync option. It's free and will not change your billing. There you go, no more texts

I got those too. I finally found out that I inadvertently signed up for the backup assistant from Verizon. I don't remember exactly how I did it. But I think if you go to their website and remove your account or its connection to yours or something like that. Anyway hope it helps.

[MOD] Remove the HTC power saver option in the new sense Jellybean update

It was really annoying me so I did some searching and I found this thread.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016254
Basically if you use titanium back up, you can just freeze or delete "com.htc.htcpowermanager" and it'll disappear.
I just thought I'd share with you guys, credit goes to to the guy who found this in the link above, I'm just passing it on.
EDIT: Freezing or deleting it will both cause your battery menu in settings to disappear. This isn't really an issue to me as there isn't really anything in there that you can do, besides see whats' eating your battery. IMO this is negligible especially when new roms will be rolling out soon, hopefully with a work around.
Wouldn't delete it just in u may need it later. Freezing is the best option for all annoying system apps. Thanks for sharing the link tho.

Read the edit I just made to the OP.
In JB you can long-tap on a notification and click on App Info. I did a Force Stop there, notification went away. Hopefully there are no other side effects. If there are any, I will report them.
LOL 5 minutes later, and it's back. And you cannot uncheck "Show Notifications"
I used this to get rid of mine. Think its a good alternative.

I have had mine turned off since I loaded the Rom and its still there. If we could just unlock the show notification option maybe that would turn off the one minor annoyance.
Is there documentation on what the power saver function specifically does?

Same here. I'm mostly against it because I don't know why I'd ever need it. It might actually be useful but if it does x y and z and I only want x and y I'd like to know what I'm getting into.
I can't believe no one noticed it yet but if you go to the app info there is a check box for notifications, just uncheck it and it goes away

Yeah, this has a few more tweaks than nottach so far, and some that didn't work before (Quick Setting tile number wouldn't work on my MF3 I337) are working now. Anyone is safe to install and tweak away as long as you're on stock/tw.
EDIT: nottach xposed does have a few more than this at the moment, I was wrong. Specifcally the full battery and headset notification I've noticed so far.
I'm not sure if this is related but after installing this i noticed my mobile connection would randomly switch to h+ in settings. I rebooted and got the padlock. Booted fine still and noticed an extra battery icon. I only enabled the module and looked at the options without checking or changing anything.
Uninstalled and rebooted. No padlock, no extra icon. Goldeneye MH1 with only scrolling cache and call record add ons.
So I really want to try this out but I have a quick question. As of right now im on MF3 and I am planning on rooting my phone. The only think I would like to be able to do is to have lockscreen widgets on my device while having security enabled such as a pattern lock or password. Will this give me the option to do just that?

The extra icon does sound like something that a tweak/app like this can be responsible for.
Whether it's a one-time glitch or a bug that will recur, who knows.

3minit isn't much of an option since you have to flash the framework and we can't through recovery (I think there is an app to flash without recovery, but it's risky business.)

I know it's not supposed to work. I wasn't expecting it to work. But I tried it anyways.
Slim Bean AOSP 4.3 ROM + Xposed + Wanam all seemed to install fine.
But a reboot or two later, before even selecting any option changes, ended up getting to where it refused to boot into the OS. Even after a factory reset.
Don't jump me, I know it wasn't *supposed* to work.
Guess I just confirmed that for the rest of the 4.3 AOSP guys?

GS4 Wifi Tether Fix (root only)

Hey guys/gals, here is a fix for the VZW GS4 that resolves the issue of WiFi hotspot tethering. In the latest update, you now get an errors message that checks for an active subscription and then gives you an error and turns off the hotspot. Here are 2 methods I found.
Method 1: Download any app that allows you to freeze/defrost packages. If you cannot find one or do not have one, download an app called System Tuner by 3c. You have to find a package called "SPG" (system package). Freeze this package and it will prevent the phone from checking for a subscription service. Run your non-factory hotspot app. It will crash and maybe freeze for the first time, and then exit, just reopen it and it should then work.
Method 2: Using System Tuner, find the package called "SPG" and click on it so that it becomes highlighted. Then click "Details" so that it brings up the info about the app. It should show a list of packages under the "Activites" section (near the bottom). Uncheck the box labeled "NewSPGActivity". After this, you can run your hotspot app and it should crash/freeze for the first run. After that, it should run smoothly.
I hope this works for you all. If you have any questions or issues, just reply to this thread. Don't forget to give me a thanks!
Note: Do not use the built-in wifi hotspot toggle switch, it will crash. Download an app from the market to toggle it.
Note: If you cannot access the settings by clicking on the Hotspot notification, do this: settings>more networks>mobile hotspot.
Note: I am running ME7 with 4.2.2 JellyBean and stock rom.

What exactly force closed?
If you are trying to run the hotspot from the built it button, it will crash. Use an external app for your hotspot. I use "1-click tether" at the moment. I'm going to do some more looking right now.

Whenever you try to start a tether it gives you an error saying that you must activate your subscription.....I found a fix. This only works for rooted GS4's.

I just use the toggle. Then, after that hold down the home button for recent apps and go right back to what I was doing...
Yes, was trying to use the built in button and the app crashed. I haven't had any problems with third party tether toggle apps. After getting the subscription check and hitting the home button I am good to go.

FoxFi uses your data plan, so if you don't have unlimited data it will cost you a lot of money. The technique I'm using prevents the phone from checking if you have an active subscription or not. Also, FoxFi limits how long you can use it continuously if you don't purchase the pro version. I used to use FoxFi before i rooted my phone.
On VRUAME7 build hack is not required. Toggle the built-in Wifi hotspot on and as soon as the subscription check message comes up just press the home button and it will go in the background but you will be able to still use tethering.
i just froze that app. and installed a third party wifi tether app and it worked .,thanks

IF you are correct, you still have to deal with the message every time you want to tether. Also, since you have to hit the home button, if you want to change your setting or anything then you have to go back into the app and deal with the message again. This just makes it easier. Your idea just avoids the issue, mine fixes it. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. Have a good day!

I am on stock, unrooted MK2, and I have Unlimited Data. I am holding off on taking the OTA until there is a working tethering app for it.

Haven't heard anything concrete yet. I went ahead and rooted, and froze an SDM app. I cant afford to lose FoxFi. Hopefully this works.
Edit: Just saw on another Forum that the KitKat update will indeed negate FoxFi from working.
The release of FoxFi today now supports WiFi under KitKat on the Verzion Galaxy S4, if that's any help.

I can confirm that. Tested and working. Only thing is, you have to set up a pin/password lockscreen

I have found that if you have a backup way of getting in to your phone past the PIN, you can make the "mistake" of messing up your pin too many times, and use the backup method to remove it so you can "set it again". Do not set it, and you can keep the certificate with no PIN. Not sure if this works on KitKat, but it did on 4.3 Jelly Bean Build MK2.
As long as you don't have the option to wipe your phone if you try the PIN too many times, anyway. Hah common sense, but disclaimer none the less.
foxfi works!
Went all weekend with out wifi tethering....today there is a foxfi update, that makes it work. :laugh:
Edit:....I did not have to set a pin. It said to 'go to settings and manually turn on mobile hotspot with in 30 seconds'.
I didnt do it in time the 1st time and it didnt work. 2nd time it worked when I did it quickly....
Whenever I turn tethering on via Bluetooth (only working method atm) it switches my APN to EHRPD - Verizon Internet from LTE - Verizon Internet. Even if I manually switch it back to LTE it'll auto switch back to EHRPD. The problem is EHRPD is only connecting me to 3G and I really don't want to browse the internet with speeds of 0.50 MB/s.
Would it be safe to delete the EHRPD APN? or is there any other way of stopping it from switching?
No idea here. I have never looked at APN settings. Tethering via WiFi works fine for me.
FoxFi Lockscreen Fix!

Hope this helps!
I uninstalled foxfi and removed the certificate. I can't change back to a pattern or swipe lockscreen. Here's what my choices are:
