[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bilbravo:
I've got Bugless Beast installed but the wifi tether app (Wireless tether for root users) does not allow me to tether. I have tried both my NookColor and my laptop and neither see the SSID. I even tried setting up the connection manually on the laptop but it still doesn't see it. I've tried turning the tether off then back on and also rebooting the phone.

I searched the forum and did some google searching and it doesn't look like I need a custom kernel but some older threads seemed to suggest I might. Also the description of the app say I do as well.

Can someone help me get this set up? Where can I find and install a kernel that allows this (Chevy's?)? I am using SPRecovery, not clockwork mod so I can't use ROM Manager to do this (as far as I can tell).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wisefreakz:
Milestone or Droid? Specify at title so people can help you.

Thanks, I added Moto Droid to the title.

First off let me start off by saying that i deeply appreciate all the dev work that has been put into this phone. I've been rocking midNIGHT faithfully since it started and I've been extremely happy with it. I've tried all other roms but it seemed that there would always be one thing that steered me to try others. Now ever since I flashed 5.2 my phone has been doing some strange things. Things that i can't blame on the rom because when it's going it goes well. But from time to time I've been experiencing lag. Like the kind of lag that came along when ext4 was first out. Fb, the music player widget. The phone was miraculously draining battery while off... yes off. Went from 54% to completely dead overnight. Then I decided to reflash the rom. Same thing. I odin3d back to ec05 successfully. Everything seemed to be working pretty well on stock. (Surprised) decided to do a master reset along with formatting the sd card. Phone wouldn't boot past Sammy logo. Decided to odin3 again. Went through the process of flashing midnight again. When midnight finished flashing rebooted I was met with another infinite Sammy logo. Went back into cmw. Wiped and reflash to the same result. I'm assuming my phones on its way out. I'm back on ec05 and everything is running well... for now. I'm under the assumption that I've flashed my nand and its on its last breathe. What do you guys think?
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Just brick that ho.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Stay away from EC05 like its the plague. The only thing you need to odin is the modem + flash custom rom. IMHO, the EC05 Sprint dropped was a POS.

I don't think your epic is on its last breath. You probably had some corrupt data. Also u probably had an app nit letting g your phone sleep properly. I Doubt your nand is about shot. Sometimes all the custom stuff and apps don't play well together.

Sometimes you just have some bad hardware that doesn't show up until the right circumstance, as well. This is still electronics.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
I guess so. Maybe it has to do with the fact this unit was a refurb.
[Epic 4G General] fczeuner:
Did you reformatting your sd card in your pc before you flashed Midnight. Id try reflashing again with a fresh sd card and a completely wiped device.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:

I had a similar situation happen to me last night. The battery seemed to be draining faster than usual. Things started lagging like crazy. I was on stock ec05 rooted with cwm 2510. I noticed something was wrong when the phone would turn itself back on if I shut it off. I had to battery pull. As far as I could get it was to Samsung screen. I got it into recovery and somehow managed to get it to boot regularly. I then proceeded to uninstall everything except the bare essential tools needed to troubleshoot. After a shutdown or reboot it still acted the same. I went back into recovery after battery pull and wiped everything three times. That still didn't help. I tried wiping a bunch more times and restoring a fresh install of di18 and ec05 rooted and both froze at samsung. I tried one last backup I had, because those two failed, and everything worked after that. I have no theories on what happened. I wasn't near a computer for a few hours then because I was still at work. The restore I did that worked is still running as I type this and the battery is acting "normal".

This phone has only had stock rooted on it and never been overclocked. Gremlins...
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
lol DK28 before that was an absolute mess. There's a reason why ACS didn't even try and make something of it.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
I think you should leave all these roms alone. I had the same exact issues with my phone between flashing themes and roms I constantly got bootloops, fcs, and freezing. I tried everything. Reflashing, Odin, wiping...literally everything. So I said forget it...

Went to stock rooted ec05 on ext4...removed what I don't want...and couldn't be happier. Phone is fast, responsive, battery lasts about 10 hours with heavy use...the perfect phone. Much respect to all the devs and their work...but the roms I tried seemed to have more bugs than I needed. I tried syndicate, midnight and viper. The custom kernals gave me issues too but those seem to be screwing everyone's phones.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Yea It may be the kernels not playing well or something. I'm on stock ec05. If I want ext4 all I gotta do is run cwm, let it convert, then reboot correct?
[Epic 4G General] s9ortner:
And you will need a kernel that supports EXT4.
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
Wasn't is confucius gump that said ...

Every Epic is like a snow flake; in that you never know what you're gonna get.

It is frustrating for some that see others; using the same device, running custom ROMs with little to no issues.

I got my Epic last Christmas, after a couple of weeks reading here on XDA I settled on midNIGHT as my ROM of choice (2.5 at that time). I've used 2.9,3.3, 4.1,5 and 5.2.

I've have experienced no issues with the ROM. Now I make it a point to start from scratch and even reinstall my apps and set them up again. Never restoring ANYTHING - I just noticed those that do restore even just apps and data experience waaaaaaay more issues. To me it actually takes far less time reinstalling then it does trying to figure out what minor data restore caused the ROM to lose its mind.

The great thing about Android is that you have CHOICES !!!!! unlike iOS or Crackberry :D The devs are awesome; you literally can have a new phone when ever you want by changing ROMs or themes. It is too COOL
[Epic 4G General] ddrbeastappv1:
Yeah midnight ROM is the way to go. The one thing I had to do was extra leg work to stop the autosyncing in the background and dimming my screen and what not to make the battery last longer.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
I'm truly genuinely starting to believe my epicis ****ting the bed. I flashed acs yesterday and the phone was running like a dream. This is after being on eb13/ext4/visionkernel1.0. (Which was crap)

Anywho I boot up my epic after a full nights charge and was hit with a force close. First, I use launcher7, and it crashes at boot guaranteed everytime. This is normal? It happened on midNIGHT and stock. So then I'm hit with a framework crash. (Android.acore?) And (something.gapps). The phone has been flat out crashing and freezing on me which has never happened before forcing me to pull the battery. Than I was doing some browsing and I got a freeze but this time the screen went really bright with a yellow tint and an artifact white line across the screen. Oh ****. Then on one of the other crashes the screen went completely black except for a few pixels on the bottom which remained red and blue. I've never had these issues until I started this thread. I'm lucky I haven't crashed yet...
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Also email crashed on me a few times. I can trigger a freeze by visiting the same website. its the ctdol and it happens with both stock browser and dolphin. My epics gonna off itself!!!

Edit

I also wiped and reflashed. I just tried to set a wallpaper and got another dead freeze. :(
[Touch HD Accessories] ionutzz20032003:
Is there any way to connect external USB Memory Sticks to my Blackstone? i can combine some cables to connect USB Stick to miniUSB's blackstone does it works? Do i need any drivers? Anybody tested this yet?:)
[Touch HD Accessories] Chef_Tony:
as far as i know, the usb port on the blackstone is only a client port. it is only for connections with host devices like a pc (and the charger of course). even though it is an htc extusb port, it is not even compatible with htc accessories, like handsfrees or video out.

you can give it a try using zeno's usb host drivers and a storage device with an active power supply (i.e. external harddisks), but i wouldn't count on it working, your best bet to extend the storage is to simply get a bigger micro sdhc card.

UGH! I JUST got the Official Moto Leather in today!!
[Xoom Accessories] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Yeah, I would assume so. It would be badass if it was an extra battery like the transformer but I doubt that's the case.
[Xoom Accessories] DroidHam:
So this is coming out this week for sure? I'm definately getting one of these....
[Xoom Accessories] slowrey:
Almost called to order the leather case but then came on here real quick. Good thing I did I almost regretted it!
[Xoom Accessories] SPIDERTECH:
I almost got the rooCase since I already have the motorola keyboard, but then I found this post. I've been looking all over for something like this and even considered modding an iPad case, but I'll be waiting for this one.

What was going through their minds when they released the Xoom and DIDN'T release this at the same time?
[Xoom Accessories] rivera912:
oh i want that i may hold off due to no track pad
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
Even though some people appear to hate the transformer I love the idea of having a trackpad in the keyboard! And of course the additional connectivity and the extra battery. But this portfolio is definitely a start!
[Xoom Accessories] JimmyHACK:
haha nice, but too bad transformer + kb still cheaper than all this extra expense... and it give mouse pointer with trackpad/usb ports/ and battery life.. i'm happy with xoom, but I also know when something is a better buy for the $
[Xoom Accessories] rivera912:
Yes it is! Now come on Motorola make us happy:D
[Xoom Accessories] DroidHam:
yes yes yes EVERYONE KNOWS TRANSFORMER + KB IS CHEAPER, THANKS!

the point of this is for people who already own a Xoom and want extra options, not to try to compare prices with the TF.
[Xoom Accessories] JimmyHACK:
Only laughed because OP brought up Transformer instantly... so i'm on topic... thanks
[Xoom Accessories] robertvito:
Just spoke with Verizon store and my case/keyboard has arrived. Going to pick it up later and will post pics. Thanks all for the info.
[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
just wanted to let everyone know I just received it and will post up some impressions in a bit!
[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
OK heres some initial impressions:

Obviously the keyboard is a little cramped. I'm a touch typist and already feeling cramped and hitting wrong keys like home instead of ' or backspace. There's definitely some getting used to it but nothing that's a major complaint.

The fit is a little tight and I had to fight a little bit to clasp the Xoom in. There's a slight bulge on mine on the right hand side that's noticeble but nothing to cry over - hopefully it'll settle in and get a little tighter and more snug.

Quality is definitely nice and it is manufactured by tylt. The weight is hardly noticeable. There aren't any adjustable viewing angles however just one. The clasp to close it all up is magnetic which is nice.

I'll get some pics and post up a formal review once I use it a little more but so far so good and I'm really stoked by this!
[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
Here's some photos...

Here's some photos of the XOOM Keyboard Folio Case. A few other things worth mentioning:

There is a cutout for the charger, which is nice.

The Android keys on the keyboard are really handy, though I'm a bit confused on why there's a Message quick key when there's no Messaging app. I haven't started looking into remapping any of the keys yet.

There is a charger included for the keyboard and is your standard micro USB. On the side is an on/off switch and the button is to sync.

Right now I threw it on the charger but will definitely play with it some more and post up a real review from the unit itself to see how it is for long typing. Let me know if any of you have any questions on the unit itself and again, huge thanks to all those that stayed on top of this post to get us the info we needed to order it!
[Xoom Accessories] Psychokitty:
I would like to know what the port is on the side, as well as anything else there (switch, etc).

Edit... I type too slow. -Probably cause I don't have sucha cool keyboard.
[Xoom Accessories] :
wow I am insanely jealous, that looks cool as hell, hope mine comes soon. The only real issue I see is coming up with some type of mouse input. Maybe we could use one of those ultra-small bluetooth mouses? Or maybe their is an app that could bind the arrow keys to a mouse input? So many possibilities! Great shots by the way!
[Xoom Accessories] armychris28210:

[Xoom Accessories] AFAngryWarrior:
How does the folio keep the tablet upright? The original folio has slots at an angle but thats a complete ninety degree angle?
[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
Here's some shots of how the folio is kept upright along with the latch. Hope that helps!

My new complaint (and it's a minor one... sort of) is when I want to use the tablet sans keyboard and I don't want it upright (like lying down on my bed) - the latch sort of folds in and sticks together thanks to the magnet but it adds a ton of bulk to the case as a whole. That and it feels odd holding the keyboard underneath the screen (when you fold it back). But other than that it has been pretty cool so far! Would've been much better at a slightly lower price point though. I feel like it should be more of a $79.99 type of accessory, not a $99.99 for the Xoom to stay competitive in the tablet space.
[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
I'm going to just get my hands on a real small Bluetooth mouse. I don't foresee having to use a mouse very often other than when I remote into my desktop while I am traveling. It sure would be nice to have a little touchpad on it, but I would hate the added weight of a touchpad.
[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
Oh and for those wondering, you can hit the home key to wake the Xoom up from the keyboard.
[Xoom Accessories] Mahtan Tasadur:
Sweet I just got mine. The people at the store were saying they been having tons of people calling for them. Haha. They even mentioned the XDA forum.
[Xoom Accessories] Ferradinho:

[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
How does everybody else's Xoom fit in their keyboard case? Still trying to get used to typing on it but so far so good. If anyone figures out a way to remap the app for the Messaging key (I'd like it to map to eBuddy or Google Talk) please post up!
[Xoom Accessories] omnia1994:
is it a bluetooth keyboard or connect via cable?

how's the weight? overall performence? thickness?

someone pls make a review =)
[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
I posted a more lengthy write up on my website at www.jasonsiu.me if you want to take a read. but to answer your questions the performance is great and there is a lot of convenient quick keys on the keyboard for the xoom. the weight isn't bad at all, but it is overall a little thick. I would say the entire thing weighs around 3 to 3.5 lbs, similar to my Lenovo x200. it is thicker than my laptop but is obviously much easier to carry. to me it's all very similar to a business pad that you'd carry to a meeting or something.

it is a Bluetooth keyboard and so far there has been no sync issues. turn it on and it'll instantly be good to go once you've paired it.

my only warning is to those that re touch typists, the keyboard is cramped and typos are plentiful until you learn to cram your fingers in some. but that was to be expected with a keyboard of this size. overall I'm really happy with it!

[Xoom Accessories] Xevilious:
Does it need a hard surface or will the screen stand up on its own?
[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
I don't play any of the games that involve moving the xoom but I would think it wouldn't be as great in the case. you could always just fold the keyboard back and have a really fat xoom though for those instances. I would guess it wouldn't be very fun though. probably recommend just taking out the xoom itself when playing those types of games. other games that involve just touching the screens are obviously better now that the screen stays upright and you don't have to hold it.

you do need a flat surface for the screen to stay upright. it doesn't necessarily have to be hard but as flat as can be.

[Xoom Accessories] GrimmySnarf:
Well I don't really think anyone can answer the question but yourself since we all have different usages for our Xooms and everyone plays games differently. At the end of the day you can STILL play games with it, but just imagine a bigger, heavier Xoom. Angry Birds works just fine, but I don't have any of those games that use the accelerometer so I can't tell you how that is.

Or more importantly, why do you want the keyboard?

Good eye Xevilious
[Xoom Accessories] :
as far as gaming with the keyboard goes, I would say games that rely on the acceleromoter/touch screen controls wont work well, your (Angry Birds and Dungeon Defenders of the world) However, emulators should work great, and I have been able to bind the arrow keys to the dpad controls on many games such as Raging Thunder 2, so I can tell you at least that one works with the arrow keys. Youll have to experiment, but no, this would not be an ideal solution for gaming. Better options would be to get a bluetooth controller(wiimote, zmote), or the fling game pad.

[Xoom Accessories] drunkling:
I purchased the Keyboard Foilo Case today and here are some quick Pros/Cons of it.

Pros:

1. Thin and light. You can feel the extra weight but it's a drastic difference.

2. Keystrokes responded without any lag and felt responsive.

3. Media keys worked well

4. Stand props up the screen at a good viewing angle

5. Has a port hole to allow charging while the case is closed =)

Cons:

1. Whenever I closed the cover it would hit the Play media key and start playing music.

2. You are "recommended" to turn off the keyboard when you are done. When you turn the keyboard back on you need to re-pair it to your Xoom. I found this the deal breaker for me as there is no point on having an attached keyboard when I have to re-pair it every time and I can't just leave it on.

3. I couldn't get the Menu key to work with the OS or any App.

I returned this today and I'm thinking the regular Moto wireless keyboard will work better for me.

I'll update this if I think of any other Pros/Cons. I hope this helps everyone interested in the case.
