To be completely honest, I do not support this attitude eeither even though I am one who was just guilty of it. This is just what everything is turning into. When people ask questions that have been answered days ago (no offence in any way to OP, just trying to make a point) by the person giving us information, we tend to be annoyed be people who don't know the answer to these things because we think it is obvious and we've already answered questions on it several times. And another reason that we have so much of this is just that SO MANY threads have been made about whether or not someone could tether or why it's not working. Personally, I visit these forums several times a day because I have no life and I guess I just got sick of seeing thread after thread after thread on this subject. I apologize for my attitude
[Droid X General] bowlingdood:
You might try the workaround that was used for the official wifi tether where you disable and re-enable 3G during a tether.
[Droid X General] bobabc:
Also you can try going to the wireless tether website and download the experimental 3.0 pre10 version. That was how I got mine to work. It'll have a yellow icon.

I'm just sarcastic so my tone sometimes seems inappropriate. Not to defend the people on here the jump all over others, but some of us have been asked the same question hundreds of times multiple times a day. It's not your fault or any poster of a thread that asks a question. I myself have realized I am less patient. I guess the more you know about a subject you just assume everyone has a base knowledge and that if they don't some people treat others as "lower beings" or something. So basically going to XDA is like jumping into a shark tank... Sometimes you come out missing an arm.. lol :-)
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Very well put and I agree with your feelings completely. It gets very tiring to see so many threads on the same topic

I post very infrequently, but read at least once a day. And yes you do find a threads about the same questions in here. But for me it helps, it allows me to find what I am looking for easier. The more posts the more hits you get back.

Is this confirmed to work on the 588 release of gingerbread? I had it working on my 2.2.1, but I haven't tried it on the new release.
[Droid X General] skennelly:
It never worked for me on 573 or 588. However, there are others that claim success with it. It seems as though it is hit or miss.

As a matter of fact, the first time I flashed 573, wireless tether worked. When I flashed the patch, it stopped working.

It works intermittently

I'm running the TBH NVRAM hack and it works for me. Make sure you have the 3.0-pre12 wifi tether app. I have noticed that occasionally i lose tether so toggling airplane mode seems to fix it. Good luck.
[Droid X General] djdominus:
The stance that AT&T and Verizon(aka Baby Bell's) are taking with tethering is the same crud cable companies tried to pull by saying you cant have a router with multiple computers attached w/o paying them for it. It's more of the same old telcos trying to return to their glory years driven by monopoly business plans. We don't have to pay them to tether. It's a hardware feature and they don't own the hardware. They charge for data plans. We pay for the the data plans. We can use the data plan however the heck we want. They will lose this battle just like they did with wireline service.

dropcap2 in the xda forums and shoot me in the marketplace.

I taught they require root? But I think root is needed to perform any type of screengrab.

But out of those two options shootme would be my personally recommendation, (drocap put an icon in the status bar and has a tended to cause a 'su permission granted' bubble which gets caught in the screenshot)

Swype ppl are mysterious creatures!

I guess you are speaking about the swype beta? Via the installer? Or there is some new version out there? My swype ppl hate me and lately I dont get anything from them.

I can just guess that you are on a rom with preinstalled swype and installing beta swype over it wont work. Also the space you are speaking about is then on a system partition and there just might not be any left(or no right to overwrite a system app like that). Am hypothetical here cuz I have no idea how this works :)

Maybe you could just try this till you wait for a swype ppl expert.

but as said am no expert in this. if you however didnt tried the above "solutions". try them but dont forget a good old backup.

hey guys!

I want to install cyanogen mod 7 on my HTC Desire Z. However, i heard cyanogen mod 7 was based on android 2.3. I'm on 2.2. I'm rooted, but I was wondering if I can just install cyanogen mod 7 on 2.2 or do I have to update and if I have to update, will I have to unroot my device or can I just do it just the way my phone is now?

Thanks,

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.0 and tried for the first time the Google Corporate sync to my Exchange server. It does some strange things with all day appointments (probably related to daylight savings time) where they show up as 11pm (the night before) to 11pm instead as a normal all day event. I also notice the phone says the timezone is GMT-04:00 instead of GMT-05:00 for Eastern time. Is this normal and is the 11pm-11pm problem an Android bug or a Cyanogenmod bug (or just my phone)?

Thanks.

Hey so i was trying to make a bootable image of snow leopard on my 8gb micro sd when i left the house and came back to find my cat had bit the card and pulled it out when it had only reached 10 percent. the card now tells me it is 524kb in size and is a raw file system. After doing some research and trying all the typical format programs and suggestions i think the issue is a corrupt partitioning of the flash drive. should i giving up at this point and chuck the thing out :( its only 8gig but i loved using this thing for transfers from all my computers and keeping all my android apks on for when i get my new monthly phone :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZippyDan:
I have an HTC Inspire 4G.

I am using it for the FIRST time, and for the first time in the Philippines.

It was an AT&T locked phone, so I had to root it to unlock it.

I followed the ace hack kit v9 instructions to get it to root. Everything worked relatively as planned except that installing CM7 resulted in a looping boot screen. I fixed that by clearing the cache, but I wasn't too thrilled with the new look. I didn't try my mobile internet yet at that point (I was on WiFi).

I decided to flash the ClearDroid ROM since I just wanted stock with root.

Everything works great. Except my cellular connection is AMAZINGLY unusably slow. I had to manually enter in the APN settings for the wireless carrier here (Globe), and that was a little bit of a pain in itself. I took the phone to one of the local stores here and they confirmed the settings were correct. Regardless, I CAN connect. It just takes sometimes 5 minutes to load CNN's mobile site, for instance. Android Market times out.

I had an iPhone 3GS here on the same service and same locations, so I know what I should be expecting as far as speeds here.

What could be causing this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Philippine cell phone providers use 900/1800 bands.

Inspire 4G supports 850/1900

iPhone 3gs supports 850/900/1800/1900 so thats why you got better data speeds.

Im sure the phone shows an E for data connection next to the signal bars.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZippyDan:
I do get G next to the signal bars mostly, actually.

Calling and texting works fine also ... is the data connection that much more sensitive to frequency?

Also, this HTC's page says the Inspire supports all bands for GSM and GPRS. (I'm a new user so can't post link)
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
What are your data speeds with the inspire, and what are they with the iphone?

One thing you may need to do is to edit your build.prop

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982082
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZippyDan:
where can i test my data speeds? using test servers outside of the Philippines will probably not be very accurate.

edit: ok i downloaded the SpeedTest.net app for Android. It seems to have several test servers in the Philippines including one 7 miles away. On WiFi I get 1600k down and 450k up (which sounds about right). On 3G I got 999ms ping and -0k down and -0k up. :) Note that it actually did "run" through the tests, even though it took a really long time. If I disable my connections it won't actually run through the test and will instead give me an error saying it could not connect to the network.

but i should reiterate again that my connection is EXCEPTIONALLY SLOW. when trying to access the Android market, it seems to time out waiting. when trying to use it as a tethered modem, Windows doesn't see a connection to the Internet. loading google.com takes about 10 seconds to load the text, another 30 seconds just to load the google logo. a page like CNN.com took about 5 minutes just to start to appear. data is getting transfered (i guess that is why the connection doesn't time out), but at a very very very slow speed

i no longer have the iPhone, so I can't test, but as far as overall feel, I could get speeds comparable to what I got in the USA in some areas.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
G is for GPRS, which has a max top speed around 60kbps down.

which should still be WAAAAAY faster than what i'm seeing. this feels like 1kbps
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZippyDan:
ok it looks like it was something to do with the ROM.

I did a nandroid backup and installed CM7 again. Internet works fine right off the bat without ANY configuration (didn't even have to define my APNs).

The thing is I personally don't like CM and would rather use something closer to stock. With this new info, what changes when installing CM or ClearDroid that would be killing my internet?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Flash a stock Rom and see what happens. Make sure you do a full wipe. Clear cache and dalvic too.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
As it turns out, the CM APN list is over 3 times the size of mine, which would explain why yours would work out of the box. Thank you for the heads up, I'll incorporate their list in the next build, and hopefully it will make everything work for you also!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
What recovery are you using? It sounds like something isn't getting properly wiped. When you flashed to a new rom, did you happen to try using Calkulin's Format all.zip? It certainly wouldn't hurt. Then get the new rom flashed and booted, then try wiping cache and dalvik cache again, then reflash your kernel. What kernel are you trying to use and on which rom? Perhaps the kernel has major undervolting and you're phone doesn't agree with it, which is not uncommon. There are options with netarchy kernels to use more, less, or no undervolting. With aosp kernels, there are some scripts you can use to change/alter the undervolting, to adjust it to where your phone is stable. So I guess that it's either because something isn't wiping properly, or because your phone doesn't like to be undervolted, or doesn't play nice with HAVS.

What's Calkulin's Format all.zip? How does this help I'm going try it out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Calkulin's format all is just a flashable zip file that formats the system, boot, data, and cache. It basically formats everything. Sometimes wiping with recovery alone can leave things behind, which can cause issues when flashing. This doesn't always happen, but sometimes it does. I believe you need to be on an older version of clockwork, or any version of Amon Ra to flash Calkulins. If you're on a new version of clockwork, you'll want to flash King's Format all. It does the same thing, but is flashabale with clockwork. Just remember, that YOU MUST FLASH A ROM after flashing a format all zip, as everything gets totally wiped out. After you do flash the format all.zip, and then flash the rom, I would boot up into the rom. Then I'd boot back to recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache, then flash the kernel and reboot. Have you tried different types of kernels?

what recovery did you say you were using again?
