[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
yeah, it would be great if someone could figure out how to tether via bluetooth with an EVO to the Xoom; my wife has a non rooted evo, and a wifi only xoom, and wishes she could tether..

My rooted EVO does wifi tether easily to the xoom, but, it wont tether via bluetooth either; it shows "paired", but never connected..

Anyone figured this out yet?

thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptikal_1:
same here. I have rooted Evo with vaelpak 3.2 on it and the wifi tether app works great but I can't get Bluetooth to tether at all. I hear that is a faster connection so I want to try it but the is no option to tether after clicking the wrench
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texasez:
I have the same problem running a rooted evo with MYN 2.2 RLS5. Paired but not connected is the only thing I can get. I download the newest wireless tether app and could not get it to work.

I can can tether using Wireless tether using an open connection but when I try to encrypt I cannot get it to work. I sure would like a fix before my trial runs out on the xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleeplessninja:
I do not have an EVO, I have a droid OG , but ran into a similar problem. I made a video on the subject. I apologize if this does not work for you but try it out. I recommend unpairing your devices first and start where the video starts. I had to unpair to get mine working. Since your rooted it shouldn't be a problem and take a minute to try it out.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
if your phone is rooted, its super easy to tether via wifi; hundreds of posts all over this board and the internet about it.

its tethering via bluetooth that doesnt seem to work on an evo..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scramer:
Thank you but I never receive the part that says tethering under the wrench, it only says unpair and rename device.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scramer:
Thanks, I find all of the tether wifi posts, and I can do that. I thought I had seen that some evo users were able to tether by bluetooth, but maybe not. Maybe when the sd card slot patch comes out it will fix it.
[myTouch 4G General] kimbernator:
RESOLVED!

I flashed cm7, but not without making a nandroid of the stock rom. I tried restoring the backup and it would not make it to the boot animation. No errors or anything, same version of clockwork as before.

The only thing I didn't try was advanced restore. Would that do anything differently?
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Being that you flashed CM7, and having troubles going back to 2.2.x you must be using 3.0.0.5 as a recovery image. You need 3.0.0.6, or a 2.x recovery image.

This thread [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=986522] will help explain the ins and outs and how to flash 3.0.0.6.
[myTouch 4G General] kimbernator:
Hey! I figured it out! And this should apply to all of us with mytouch 4gs.

The issue was that i was on clockwork 3.0.0.5, which i was on even when i backed up the stock rom. 3.0.0.5 allows for gingerbread flashing, but not froyo. So if you experience an issue like this, downgrade to 2.5.1.2 in rom manager and try recovering - lucky for me, even nandroids made in 3.0.0.5 were compatible with 2.5.1.2
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
That's what the thread i posted earlier explained. and showed you how to fix. It's sticked in the Q&A section. ;)

My question is, can you use your webtop app through usb? I want to use webdock on my lap top but my lap top does not have an hdmi port, I'm running the mod for just hdmi without the dock. Anyone have any idea how to do it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
not possible. USB is not an HDMI port and they serve completely different functions.

EDIT: also, even if your laptop had an HDMI port it wouldn't work, because that would be an HDMI-out port, not HDMI-in.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suk0tt0:
How does the desk dock for your pc work then? I figured it had to be through usb
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
it works through the same type of connector that a monitor uses, DVI or VGA. USB does not transmit video to displays.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suk0tt0:
In short, the dock is needed right?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
an HDMI cable is needed, and as most laptops are, you can't input a display onto it so your options for running at on your laptop are near-zero.

No - I have not heard a rumor, but am raising the thought.

With probably at least a year before the AT&T deal is approved or not (longer if AT&T appeals any rejection), I would anticipate that there will not be much of a market for new TMo devices (and contract extensions) - unless they do something like this. This should not be much of a challenge for major players like HTC, as if some minor league manufacturer over there like the one that makes the Pharoes 137 can do it....

If they went this route, it would be a win-win for them and us. They could avoid a possible mass migration away from TMo during the period (due to having out-of-date dead end devices), and by letting current TMo customers acquire them, we would not be left sitting by the side of the road waiting on whatever to happen (come on - fess up - how many of you would otherwise jump at a duel core with 2.4 or 3.1 on it?).

If the deal is blocked, TMo would not have to be concerned with customers migrating over to AT&T (as they can do so already - so who else would want to?). They would not have to find themselves so very far behind the others if the deal is rejected (except for Lte - which they will not be rolling out in the meantime). But they would then have the $3 billion deal-break fee from AT&T to spend to get going on it - lol!

I am not holding my breadth on this or something else creative being done by TMo however. It was the collective mismanagement of TMo US (largely by the parent company) that got them where they are today.
[myTouch 4G General] CB620:
The only phone confirmed to have t mobile 4g and att 3g is the g2x.
[myTouch 4G General] lowandbehold:
I read a big article on this about a week ago...Apparently at&t is redoing their whole network. Basically a HUGE upgrade to take on the influx of customers. Until this is complete, no matter when the deal gets finalized they will still be using T-mobiles towers and frequencies. This is supposed to take approximately 3 years. So they have quite a bit of time to figure out a hopefully smooth transition.
[myTouch 4G General] Paso876:
Good thing I won't be due an upgrade until all this has been sorted out thoroughly. Although the pyramid is one hot tempting device....It would piss so many ppl off who upgrade or buy new phones just before the deal finalizes only to find out they're phones will be incompatible within a few months time. Still a lot of questions left to be answered in this fiasco
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
Pharos 137 does, but it is a very slow WM6.2 (upgraded to 6.5.3 but still very slow). I have one and am only hanging on to it because it has 2 sets of loaded on-device NA maps and one western Europe set, plus it tethers.

It is also worth practically nothing on eBay.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack2k5:
I know this topic seems similar to some. But it's not exactly the same.

I am trying to use my iPhone to tether to the new Xoom WIFI model. My tethering app used in iPhone is MyWi

I read the forum and found that Xoom WIFI doesn't support Adhoc. This is probably the reason why I cannot do the internet tethering.

Does anyone know how you can use iPhone to do the internet tethering to Xoom WIFI?

Will this Adhoc problem be solved by our developers here? If so, I could probably wait.

If I cannot find a solution, I have to return this device. I tried Xoom 3G, it supports Adhoc. This is just a bad move from Motorola to disable the Adhoc support on the Wifi model.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltah!:
Not sure with the iPhone. I can tether from my atrix to the wifi Xoom, but I have the tethering plan.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bauxite:
The 3g xoom does not support adhoc either, you are somehow misinformed.

I am 100% sure that it can be enabled however.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manders2600:
At the moment, the Xoom does not support connection to an ad-hoc network. However, it can be tethered via bluetooth, so if your iPhone can do bluetooth tethering, you should be able to connect.

There has been some discussion of enabling the ad-hoc capability in the development forum, if I recall (it is capable, but either locked or not yet implemented or something), so you may want to check there for any updates.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PensFan66:
Im using MyFi in Bluetooth mode and it works great with the Xoom.

You just need to pair the two, like any Bluetooth device and then in MyWi enable bluetooth, then on the xoom under blutooth click the wrench next to the iphone and select tether - Thats it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack2k5:
Thank you. I tried. It will paired but it won't connect. When I hit the tethering in Xoom.. it will say tethered and then lose connection again. Any idea?

Thanks again
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
Here's the thread on tethering the iPhone to the Xoom 3G. I followed it and it works flawlessly. I use TetherMe on the iPhone and have no problems. I can even connect the phone to the car stereo (as handsfree) AND use the internet on the Xoom simultaneously. FYI - I have NOT activated 3G with Verizon.

Hope that helps!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack2k5:
Thank you. I finally get it to work using Bluetooth tethering. I used Tetherme from Cydia. The connection speed is slow though (AT&T), I will do more test to see if it is caused by the bluetooth connection.

Thank you all for the valuable inputs.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpraider75:
something weird, I have a factory unlocked iphone 4 (with no jailbreak) and I bought a xoom wifi expecting to have trouble pairing to the iphone 4 hotspot based on this thread.

I was testing trying to pair them via bluetooth with the original iphone 4 hotspot option before trying the jailbreak programs bluetooth method. As I was testing this I noticed my xoom displayed my iphone 4 wifi hotspot network name in the wifi networks, so my xoom sees my iphone 4 wifi hotspot and is able to connect to it, i don´t know why but it does.

So maybe my iphone 4 model MC605ZP is not using ad-hoc or my xoom is seeing an ad-hoc network....all i know is a I´m very happy!!

Edit: It seems IOs 4.3 hotspot is in fact Infrastructure so is not that weird lol...

Success without Jailbreaking on 3GS

Just got my Xoom from Telstra, took SIM and put into my iPhone 3GS and wanted to tether the iphone to the Xoom.

I was wholly expecting to have to jailbreak as per previous posts, but it worked great out of the box.

Step 1. Put Xoom into Airplane mode

Step 2. Turn on Bluetooth in Xoom

Step 3. Turn on Hotspot on iPhone

Step 4. Pair iphone with Xoom using Bluetooth. It should say paired and not connected ( once off activity - should stick )

Step 5. On Xoom, press spanner icon on the iPhone connection and select Internet Access

Step 6. Browse away

Each time you switch Hotspot on iPhone On you need to manually reconnect to Internet on Bluetooth settings in Xoom. Bit of a pain but minimal.

Interestingly, I can turn on WiFi also while in Airplane mode.......you can't use a Xoom for phone based calls so intrigues me what this mode actually does appart from being a single switch for turning BT and WIFI off together.

Xoom is running Android 3.1

iPhone is running iOS 4.3.5

No other stuff loaded on either device that would assist this in any way.

Hi, i have a rooted folio 100 and I installed a honeycomb boot animation and i rebooted the device, the new boot animation came but then the folio 100 stuck. I tried to make a factory reset, but i didn't help. How can I resolve this problem?
[Folio 100 General] gilms:
nobody has a solution?
[Folio 100 General] mblaster:
A factory reset will not help you here, as the bootanim lives in the system partition, which is not cleared on factory reset.

I dont know if adb works on a rooted stock folio, if not use some terminal app or root explorer. You will have to remount your system with write permissions

mount system -o remount,rw

No space between the comma and rw! Then go to system/media and delete the bootanimation (usually bootanimation.zip).

cd /system/media

ls (just to check if the bootanim is there and what the filename is)

rm bootanimation.zip (or the filename you think is correct)

I currently have cwm .8 and vegan 5.1.1 running without issue and backed up.

I have tried several different gingerbread roms and all of them get stuck on the static image screen before the boot animation.

I have made sure to wipe boot, system, data, dalvik, and cache as well as running Calkulin's Format.zip all prior to rebooting. I also have tried installing the ROMs with or without the Google apps addition. All with the same results.

Internal SDcard partitioned to 2048/0

Is there anything else I can try?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxxas049:
Are you sure they are all hanging at the boot screen? Most of the roms first boot takes a awhile for the cache to get filled with the data it needs to perform.

After the first few boots everything usually goes smooth from then on.

After doing another restore to stock using nvflash

wipe everything via cwm (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik)

repartition sd to 4096/256

copy vegan ginger edition over to internal sd

it installed and booted up!

Ran out of battery power to fully test but finally got it to boot after gapps install. Here are the steps I had to take:

Restore to stock using nvflash

did not let it boot into stock

reinstall .8 cwm from external sdcard

in cwm copy vegan ginger edition.zip and gapps.zip over to internal sd

Installed ROM then gapps

reboot

(note: after returning to stock I did not wipe anything with cwm)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wadsface:
Good work, quick question, you said you reinstalled cwm from external sdcard, does that mean you used the "cwmod_microsd.zip" from the "[STICKY][GUIDE] Install ClockworkMod, a ROM, Flash Player, and the Market Fix" post?

I have always used the internal one and was wondering if that made a difference.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genei.09:
Yes that should be the same file. Looks like it was recently renamed as I had it labeled external rather than microsd. It isn't really a different cwm I used it so I wouldn't have to let the stock OS boot up and I kept it on the external sdcard so when I repartitioned the internal card I wouldn't loose it. I reloaded to stock many, many, many times trying to get this to work.

I'm currently using the experimental VEGAN Ginger Edition. It has some nice features but the videos for Dungeon Defenders don't play, and the keyboard is a little strange.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdg2100:
I've had my tablet since early Feb. and I had issues with GB roms when I started trying them too. I found that the steps that worked best for me were pretty much the same as above. Mine are assuming that the tab is coming from something other than stock...

Wipe data,cache,dalvik and Battery Stats... (not sure the battery stats wipe matters)

NV Flash back to stock

Load CWM .08

Repeat Wipe

Load GB Rom

Repeat Wipe

Load rom devs recommended gapps version

Reboot

This USUALLY results in success. I still have mixed results getting gapps installed with some GB roms...once in a while I have to change up the steps and reboot PRIOR to gapps.

I've only had to repartition a few times, but the 2/0 option is the norm for me...and I usually only have to do this after I've made a big mistake, or things start to act "off" with the tablet.....

I think I read in one of the posts over on the dev side that most of the roms are written with the stock bootloader in mind and that it's just good policy to learn NVFlash and use it if you have any issues going from one rom to another.

I've been spending A LOT of time on this site since I got my gtab, too much probably. Usually, about 6 pages into a rom post, the answers to whatever issues we have with install are answered. It seems like mostly page 1 - 4 are people excited to flash...or saying thanks... pages 4 to like 10 are full of the answers to the questions "Why can't, Why didn't, how come..."...and then 10 - 10000 are just plain fun to read. ;-)

Good luck, this Tab is a ton of fon. I was super excited when the woot sale went down. I figure if even 4 or 5 more programmer types ordered one....that could mean 4 or 5 new roms for us to play with!
