Q: Verizon hidden menu battery drain topic

What's going on. So I just got my G2 and I'm still slowly learning the tips and tricks to the phone and how to conserve battery life. It's doing pretty good so far but according to my battery stats, I'm getting a high battery drain from the Verizon hidden menu. I just rooted and flashed the stock deploated rom last night and I know I may need to let the battery settle. Anyone else experience this?

[How to] Sim Unlock the Galaxy S4 Without the Hidden Menu topic

HOW TO SIM UNLOCK THE SGH-M919, no unlock code necessary.

This thread is for all of you that have tried this method and have failed: How to SIM unlock Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 (tested - works) - Updated: 7/2/13

The previous method worked on Samsung devices running the old firmware and was patched by T-Mobile and Samsung in the M919UVUAMDL release. Many new (purchased in the last few months) devices have been known to have this release pre-installed.

This is not my work, it is chainfire's genius. You must, at the very least, go and give him the "Thanks". If you can, donate a beer.

His app "RegionLockAway" was intended to de-regionlock devices that Samsung had marketed as "unlocked" (i9505, N9005, etc).

However, a common side-effect for other carrier-branded variants was that it unlocked their devices as well. I tried it and it worked on my SGH-M919 that I bought from T-Mobile.

TO UNLOCK THE M919,
1. Make sure that you are on the completely stock touchwiz setup that came with the phone (bootloader, kernel, and stock touchwiz rom). You can restore via kies/odin here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2258628. Again, thank the developer if you used it.
2. Install RegionLockAway Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2470551
3. Thank the developer, even if it doesn't work.
4. Run the RegionLockAway app and click "Region Unlock"
5. Follow all onscreen instructions carefully.
6. Reboot and test it out with preferably a non-North American SIM. This ensures that not only is it unlocked, but also region unlocked. If it asks you for a code, it failed.

As a standard disclaimer:
If you bricked it, it's your fault. I tried it on my own and it worked for me.
As always, I highly recommend donating to the developers who helped you.

Hidden Apps topic

I went through and x'd some apps I didn't need in the Google Play app, and rightly they're not showing on the website.

Problem is, I x'd off the ones I didn't need for my HTC One, but I've since outright bought the Nexus 5.

Is there any way to get those back?

KK 4.4 the top menu permanently hidden. topic

Hello



When I update My phone to version kit kat I have a problem with the top menu. Sometimes the menu will not open. I have the impression that the menu blocks after the phone call and unlocks after the next call. Yesterday I made a factory wipe but the situation has not improved. Does anyone have any idea where is the problem?
