Those instructions are completely, patently obviously crystalline. You should go google your google os then reread. Seriously, don't ask to be served on a silver platter. Read, understand and ask for specific clarification on a step that confuses you if google and forum search fail you. Rooting is well documented. Get unlazied for that one. Which apn should you consider adding tether to? Probably the one you are using, common sense would dictate. (Further extension of common sense states that you might need to make a new apn that is a copy of your current one with changes for this.)

Mine worked without adding tether to my apn! I don't know that this particular step is necessary. I've downloaded several hundred MB's through my phone on Steam without adding tether to my apn, but YMMV.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] link12245:
Works fine for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FUZER384:
Worked for me. I'm rooted by ginger break and running gingerblur 3.1. Now just need an over clock to work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wackyD:
Btw ur a genius. How did you figure this out?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jaketc:
Editing the build.prop on rooted stock 1.8.3 only required a reboot on my phone to work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] itguy28:
Thanks

Works great for e also! Good work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jy1022:
Doesn't work for me. I can't edit the file even I had tab the top that "Mount r/w".

I'm using OLYFR_U4_1.8.3 & GingerBreak Rooted.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] banes:
honestly unless you guys specifically need wireless, you should all just switch to pdanet, with the att tethering crackdown, better to be safe than sorry and pdanet now has a hide tethering from carrier feature
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aleve1983:
work fine but the icon there isn't in status bar, why?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GoodFoot:
What does pdanet do to hide tethering from the carrier? How is that different from what Barnacle does? My questions are specifically with respect to hiding tethering from the carrier. I'm not asking about Wifi vs. USB or any other features differences.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mrmamon:
It's works Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] s0dhi:
The only issue with this method is that there is no notification icon indicating that the tethering is active.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JohnJonsten:
I repeat one last time.....

Do nothing else but change the apn of att tether to "phone" from "broadband" using a SQL editor. If you are on another carrier use the appropriate phone type APN and make sure that APN type includes tether....

Having a APN with type tether is required to light the icon in my testing.

This allows mms and text messing to dynamically chose the correct apn (no manual downloading mms messages) and they icon works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jy1022:
I can't edit the file even I had tab the top that "Mount r/w".

Do you have any idea fix this problem?

Thanks so much!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jy1022:
Problem fixed On APN type just add tether after default.

Thanks you guy!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aleve1983:
You can update a screenshot of your apn setting?

I modified my build.prop, and I have put default, tether in my apn.

Tether works, but the icon is not visible.

Where I'm wrong?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jy1022:
I don't edit the build.prop. I just put default,tether in my APN Type.

when tether worked, the icon was changing color from orange to blue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aleve1983:
don't work for me, the icon is orang and sfter changin in red.

"account not set up for wi-fi hotspot"
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
FYI for users doing this: It's currently unknown what all relies on that entitlement check. It's possible it only has to do with the tethering, but it's also entirely possible that it applies to many other features of the phone. If you notice any adverse effects, revert it back to default.

That said, I've been using this method for several weeks, and as long as I turn wifi OFF before enabling tethering, it seems to work just fine. However, I don't use any motoblur apps/widgets, so I'm not sure if any of those are affected.

As always, back up your phone and use at your own risk :)

Thanks for the work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] benzersizadam:
doesnt work for me neither.

at&t atrix 1.83
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gusbeto37:
I also noted this one, Hotspot WILL NOT work until wifi is turned off. Also, I do use motoblur widgets and they are not affected by this. Apparently it only affects things that are "locked" by default such as tethering, but I could be wrong.

OP should also warn about having wifi off.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] merkman:
I tried duplicating my current APN with phone instead of broadband, but it wouldn't let me save when I tried to use Tether on the final line of the APN.

So then I used Gingerbreak to root my AT&T Atrix 1.83. With SU working, I tried to edit the APN using Root Manager, but I couldn't figure out what to edit. I opened build.prop, but couldn't EDIT it with Root Manger.

So then I reinstalled SQLite Editor, since I purchased it ages ago for a different device. I can open it fine, but I don't know which Database I need to edit... so once again I'm lost/stumped. :(

Sorry if I'm missing the obvious. I feel like I'm close, and I'm anxious to see if I can tether to my Laptop Dock without the $45 data plan. If there is another option, I'd love to hear it!

Thanks, Worked great.

Did it via ADB
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Spectre51:
Anyone using this method with a grandfathered unlimited account? I'm currently using the custom created APN and it works fine other than having to change the apn when it tries to setup the data link/verify then change it back. Have used that method just fine without AT&T changing me to a tiered account.

Are you just leaving your apn set to the the tethering apn or do you change back to the default apn at all?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] merkman:
Thanks man. This pointed me in the right direction, and sure enough I can now use my laptop dock without wifi. I have no intention of overdoing it on a 2GB plan... but its a nice option.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zugshad:
Also similar question here.. I currently am on the grandfathered unlimited plan and I was able to go in and change it to false and was able to go back in and set up the hotspot and it comes back as connected and did not "validate" i was able to log on with my laptop which I am doing right now.. my question comes in is that am I ok to do what ever??? hulu, etc,.. that is going to possibly bring in a lot of data since I have unlimited and I will be ok? just curious.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rkokimoto:
Excellent, Works Perfect.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Araf:
Can this method apply for AT&T Atrix 4G which using non-AT&T's network (other operator/country)?

Appologize if my question is already discussed.

Regards
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jhisey:
I just don't get how some people say it works, some say it doesn't, some have to do it this way or that way; makes no sense. A US AT&T Atrix is a US AT&T Atrix. An APN configured the same way on two identical devices cannot work differently for different people.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] carmo2y:
Works for me just following the first post:

Motorola system version: 4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US

with carrier TIM here in Brazil.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
There's currently two methods of getting this to work, here's a quick and dirty breakdown:

1) With mot.entitlement_check ON: Add custom tethering APN, set as active, turn tethering on, switch to different APN, then back to tethering APN.

2) With mot.entitlement_check OFF: Add custom tethering APN, set as active, turn wifi off, turn tethering on.

Those methods have both worked 100% of the time on my device, as well as 4 others I've tested it on. Anyone claiming mixed results on an AT&T device is doing something wrong.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] abhinayp:
I know this is going to sound noob.. But where or how do i change the APN type??

Dint find any APN seting in build.prop:confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Spectre51:
Settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> access point names. That's where's you create the new apn.

Sent from my MB860
[Atrix 4G Android Development] abhinayp:
Oh..okay.. Lol.. Thanks...

Sorry its been only 5 days since I moved to android from ios
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kdoodle:
Does anybody notice that the APN method without root has a slower connection?

I added the custom APN, and then began tethering and speedtest it. The down speed was around 1.89Mbps and down was barely .43Mpbs

I also noticed that you get various speeds using Custom APN on phone without tethering as to the original APN I can get a consistent down and up

Unable to get lapdock to work

so i have tried all of these settings several times and i am still unable to get firefox to work on my lapdock without having to connect to a wifi network. I want to keep my unlimited data connection. Can anyone help out with this? tethering works fine on the above mentioned methods just not inside of the webtop mode.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jarsh92:
Did you enable tethering before you put the phone in the lapdock? If not start mobile hotspot/tethering, put phone in lapdock. The checking account window should still pop up, but it will just freeze there. Open firefox and it should have an internet connection. To clear the annoying checking account window, just close the lid and reopen it. Then you should be able to go to the mobile view and turn the mobile hotspot off and still have an internet connection.

This is what I have been doing with an At&t phone on 1.8.3.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] voidlogik:
Yah i have tried that with the false and true value set in build.prop and also with modified apn settings as well as a custom apn. Still no luck. tethering turns on plug it in to my lapdock and i get the msg showing that i need to be on wifi or call the 1800 number to get my account setup and nothing works. i too am on AT&T with 1.8.3

Update: I got it to work, i had to add tether to the AT&T HSDPA APN under type. Thanks again

I was planning on using Adobe Reader, but it's not compatible. Anyone have a recommendation?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] elmasguapo:
If you're willing to part with $.99, ezpdf reader seems to be pretty good. And it supports highlighting/annotations!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mirumirai:
Surprisingly, the built in pdf readers of MyLibrary and Polaris Office are pretty good too. I impulse bought ezPDF before finding out about the built in ones. I think the built in ones are sufficient if you don't plan on annotating.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] donatom3:
EZPDF was one of the free ones on the Amazon appstore last month. Amazon is still doing a free app a day. I suggest installing it getting all the free apps, cuz you may never know when you may end up needing one of them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vodkaequalslove:
Now that you mention it, I remember seeing that, and thinking that I had no use for it. How quickly things can change...

Does EZPDF save your progress so you can pick up where you left off later?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] HasC:
Yes, with the latest update that is one of the things they highlighted, I use it all the time and feel it is far superior than the other PDF readers. Developer is very active in improving and enhancing its features.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SlimDan22:
I think the built in one that comes with the transformer is pretty good

The only thing i dislike about it is the refresh rate on flipping pages,
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mias1:
+1 for EZPDF

I have tried many but I my favourite is EZPDf, its most complete
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] seshmaru:
Why get a PDF reader when myLibrary handles it fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ravizzle:
i got ezpdf for free from amzon. it is kinda slow to switch pages. I like repligo reader a lot better. Also allows you to annotate pdfs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cjwilber:
I agree. I've tried ezpdf, but Repligo is my favorite.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ConstantineXVI:
Nthing ezPDF, though I'd love to see one that can do a two-page display for landscape.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] captkronos:
My experience is that MyLibrary's and Polaris Office's rendering quality is pretty poor. ezPDF's and Repligo's quality is about the same though Repligo is faster at switching pages due to Repligo rendering a low resolution version first which provides you enough information to know whether you wish to read that page or swipe to the next one. However, certain (complex?) pages fail to be rendered by Repligo (you just get a blank page with an X) whereas ezPDF manages those pages without a problem. If Repligo can fix the page fail issue then Repligo would seem to be the best out of the four.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nxp3:
when you get the apss from amazon...how do you know it's compatible for the transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] captkronos:
Now that Adobe Reader has been released for Honeycomb I thought I would update the above with the fact that, then though I had assumed having come from Adobe that it would be the best, its rendering is just as poor as MyLibrary and Polaris Office. For the time being I will be staying with Repligo; and ezPDF as a back up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] lost101:
Mantano Reader seems pretty good, 7 day fully functional trial available.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] popophobia:
Repligo is the best on the market, but there are a few thing in my wishlist:

- Continuous scrolling

- Two page view

- Support for textbox

OfficeHD Pro can display PDFs very well. Although, you cannot make any modification to the file.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jimbob1971:
I've yet to find one that beats GoodReader on the iPhone. It allows annotation etc and has a great feature where you can zoom in but lock the screen horizontally meaning that the text can fill the entire screen yet scrolling won't mess alignment up. I've love them to port this app or have another one copy this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] life64x:
Goodreader is one of the best PDF readers on the market of any device. Oh man do I wish they had a android version because I have tons of books with my annotations in them and for this fact I still have my iPad. The one feature that I absolutely love is locking of screen size. I emailed them back a few months ago and they never replied back if they are porting to android..
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] golden419:
Repligo is the best, for me.

Highlighting pdf with touchpad

Hi guys, planning on buying the transformer in the next few days. The biggest function for that would be highlighting pdf documents. Use ezpdf on my Dell Streak and love it. How good is the touchpad for highlighting with ezpdf? Can you click and drag to highlight like in a pc? Can one of you kind souls tell me pls?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mr.r9:
Ezpdf is more than fantastic.

I analysed a 20 page paper on it & then I sent it to my email in order to print it.

I highlighted text with yellow & blue, I added notes (comments)....
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Jeevez:
Does ezPDF or Repligo allow PDF editing for pdf files that allow it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Shvetaketu:
Jeevez, yes you can highlight. Mr.r9 is it possible to use the touchpad to highlight? If so , is it easy?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Jeevez:
Thanks Shvetaketu, I see that you are able to highlight with expdf, I am curious though as to whether or not you can edit a pdf that is a pdf form and has fields that can be typed in. Here is an example pdf form:

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf

(This is the first google result when searching pdf form)

If anyone can test and see if they can type in and edit the fields in ezpdf or another reader, that would be great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] pastey:
Ignore this post, mental note to read the whole thread first...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Shvetaketu:
Jeevez, I could highlight that form. Also could type into it with text boxes which you can bring up with ezpdf, but couldn't actually see places for data entry like you could with adobe.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] transceiver:
EZpdf renders pdfs that dont have embedded fonts in a weird, bad way.

Screenshot http://i.imgur.com/FO7y1.png

It's also hard to go to next page if you zoom in.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cooldragon777:
Repligo is currently the best PDF reader and annotator for Android. The biggest problem with Repligo is the rendering quality of scanned PDF.

For scanned PDF, ezPDF is much better. But ezPDF has disadvantages too: not that stable (hang sometimes), not so friendly UI.

Check out the rendering result of ezPDF and Repligo for a scanned PDF file: ezPDF vs Repligo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cooldragon777:
It used to hang when going to next page if you are zoomed in :-) So it is actually improved, but not perfect yet.

And yes, turning pages when zoomed in with ezPDF is not as easy as Repligo.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
Hello,

are there any apps with wide tiles? I think wide tiles (like the calender) are for MS only, but could apps with wide tiles run developer unlocked devices?

If yes, are there any such apps? I would really like a weather app such as the HTC Hub.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunkTrooper:
There's currently no API for creating wide tiles. Although our phones may be developer unlocked, we're still limiting to doing whatever it's possible to do as a legit developer using the APIs that Microsoft provide.

So... no, I'm afraid there's no way to do this. :'(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
I don't know much about live tiles but you can definitly make a wide tile for your app with the current developer tools.

I just don't know what it takes to make it a live tile and whether being a live tile is restricted to small (standard size) tiles or not.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
It wouldn't be restricted to the smaller tiles. HTC uses a live double-wide tile for their HUB.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
So I guess a wide live tile is possible with what we have today but noone has tried it because of the inability to put it on the marketplace.

Maybe Microsoft will let us create wide tiles for marketplace apps in the future.

Anyway, I know that the HTC Hub app has been hacked to run on all WP7 devices, but this does not include the live tile feature right?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
AFAIK the ability to use wide tiles has been restricted to Microsoft and OEMs only. No word on whether MS will relax that policy or not, but for the time being third party developers cannot utilize wide tiles.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Correct.

@ OP there are no apps with wide tiles. Only stock tiles like Pictures, Calendar, etc. and Manufacturer Tiles/Hubs have wide tiles. You can't create them for a 3rd party application.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
Like I said earlier, yes you can but the app will not be approved by Microsoft for distribution on the marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rruffman:
No you can't it will not display as a double wide tile dosnt matter about the approval process from MS its not possable using the current dev tools they do not support it. I have already tried it several times..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
I just used the developer tools to create an app with a double wide tile and it shows up double wide on my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rruffman:
they do allow for pictures on this forum...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
In three hours? Nice. What was the secret to your success?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rruffman:
I stand to be corrected changing the TemplateType to 6 will give you a double wide tile
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
yet another mystery solved. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
LOL Of course it did not take me 3 hours to do so I just reused an app I had built some time ago and changed "TemplateType5" to "TemplateType6" both times in the WMAppManifest.xml (like @rruffman said).

Other Templates (e.g. TemplateType4) are also usable but again, MS will not approve them.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
cool. what is template 4?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
I don't know exactly I justed wanted to say that TemplateType5 & 6 are not the only ones.

The other TemplateTypes are also used by Microsoft for example in the Contacts Hub (with 9 pictures) or in the phone/SMS/Email (with the number next to the icon) tile.

I once found a list of all these templates and what one could do with them, but I can't find it at the moment.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rruffman:
Yep I even see the Calander one all the templates are in ShellTokens.xsd.. nice to put the double wide tiles but they cant be updated via the push notification tried several times no go.. they seem to be checking not only the size of the file but also the height and width so if you send a double wide tile it will not go through and they remove the notification channel from the app. you have to get a new channel. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rruffman:
you can take alook at the two tile solution we did with our weather app.

the urls are in my sig.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
Just noticed a new section for the G2x on the Team Whiskey forum. This might sway my decision on whether to keep the G2x or not. If Bionix is developed for the G2x it just might make this a keeper phone for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
a week before the phone came out krylon360 said he was getting it... one of the reasons i left the SGS4G

about 4 days after he got the phone he confirmed that he will keep the bionix name and throw sum on this phone... read his signature :)

but i wanna know where is SOMBIONIX!

(tyler the other main developer in TW)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
I think there was a discussion about SOMBIONIX taking a sabbatical of sorts. Don't know if it's permanent or not (would be a shame if it is), but maybe he just got burned out.
