Thanks

This worked for me..

Yesterday in trying to update to 1.8.3, I couldn't. I was rooted/sideloading on 1.5.7 and had the Australian radio flashed from about a week prior that somewhat adjusted dl/ul. My phone refused to detect the update to 1.8.3. It would either say unavailable, or it would sit in an infinite loop trying to "find" the update.

So I did what anyone would do, and used the dl from DesignGears a couple weeks ago to flash all the way back to 1.2.6. w/ RSD. After that, I flashed the radio back to stock (the file is with the Australian version, can't remember the name, but the radio version was 1.8.7 for Aussie, stock just read stock). I proceeded to connect to my wifi network, and the phone recognized the 1.5.7 update.. I was bummed. Not 1.8.3, downloading from Moto site and trying to install from pc didnt work although I still have the file as a backup, all the firmware installed, and the garbage moto software updated... Ive been a Cingular customer too long to wait for rolling updates from AT&T, so figured I'd upgrade to 1.5.7 and figure out the rest tomorrow(today). Downloaded, installed, check update one last time... and 1.8.3 is available. Upgraded last night, dl/ul is superior to what I had prior but still altogether pathetic. Baby steps, AT&T, baby steps. Used 1.8.3 all day today w/tether on ipad and everything worked fine, although battery life is less and it generates more heat but is negligible compared to the device working the way its supposed to and being made entirely of plastic.

Used this root method (with the .exe for GingerBreak which makes it so much easier/instant, itll seem like nothing happened but you have to make sure your phone is in USB debug/USB settings none, then check your app tray for a GingerBreak icon.. if not stop/start debug, unplug/plug phone, run exe as admin, etc..) then clicked GingerBreak in the app tray, selected root, phone rebooted... SuperUser is in the app tray and Im rooted on 1.8.3. Maybe this process won't work for everyone, but I just did it in a few minutes and everything is normal and working fine and my internal SD wasnt wiped. Thanks op..

I'd also like to point out that I filed a BBB complaint about misleading consumers about the device, and was reassured it wasn't "crippled" and that it's the networks fault we aren't getting the advertised (or anywhere near) dl/ul by a customer service rep from the "office of the president". She also apologized on his behalf, which I totally took seriously. I'd also like to state my average dl/ul is about 1.3d/.8-1.1up, and stays that way shared on tether w/ wifi only 1st gen ipad, hp laptop, dell laptop, and ipod touch 4th gen. Im about 10 minutes outside philly on the other side of the river in jersey.

Good luck
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Let me get this straight.........you flashed back to stock and updated to 4.1.83 exactly how several other threads tell you to, (and in the correct way), and NOT how this thread told you to, but you thank the op of this thread??? Sure you replied to the correct thread?

[Atrix 4G General] GuitarAudiologist:
Thanks for the info everyone

I'm just trying to make sure I don't lose any functionality by updating. From reading all these posts, it looks like rooting and sideloading works, but can someone please confirm that we don't lose our "UNOFFICIAL mobile hotspot" functionality by updating to 1.8.3? My account is not set up for it, so I'm currently using a custom APN, and it is working for me with 1.5.7. Safe to update?

Thanks :)
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
All you have to do it add the APN if it isn't there. For me it was, I just use Barnacle Tether because it works better for me. Make sure it works for other people if you need the Mobile Hotspot feature.
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
Correct way? Hahahahaha you must be new to Android and the Atrix. The correct way is anyway to update to 1.8.3. Idiot. haha sorry, but you need to learn more before you post comments like that.
[Atrix 4G General] GuitarAudiologist:
Cool, so just to confirm, you're running 1.8.3 on a rooted AT&T Atrix, and you have tested-working unofficial tethering via Barnacle?
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
Correct. I don't use the Offical Hotspot built in because for some reason my xbox, ps3, and laptop to recognize it sometimes (as in, a lot).
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
And when you use Barnacle, after you connect a device to it, you need to go to the clients list (in the app) and make sure there is a check mark next to it. If there isn't a check mark then data work go to that device.
[Atrix 4G General] GuitarAudiologist:
Great! Thanks man.
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
If you have problems with Barnacle, just send me a private message.

I reflash to 4.1.57 this morning and OTA update to 4.1.83 successful.
[Atrix 4G General] KILLERST:
To install the 4.1.83 update I tried:

1/factory reset in cwm recovery mode (to unroot) ==> didn't work + SU still there + lost all apps (expected)

2/finding the way to flash to 4.1.57 stock (I'm pretty new with this) and the start button in RSD is grey (tried copy the sbf file to C drive) but it was grey no matter what

3/tried this method ==> work like a miracle and it's pretty simpler than other methods.

thank you Chubby_Skunk!!
[Atrix 4G General] dlgerma:
I completed the update yesterday May 4th as instructed and it worked perfect...

I completed the update yesterday May 4th as instructed and it worked perfect... i will say it took about 15 minutes to recognize my device and from start to fnish took around 40 - 45 minutes..
[Atrix 4G General] dmacis333:
Pardon me if I am in the wrong area. Spent long time trying to find out what is the reason to go to 4.1.83? What are the benefits? I read a ton of stuff indicating the speeds dropped down a lot. I am having trouble nailing down what is the update help and why should we update. I have 4.1.57 and all is working perfectly. I average 1.8dl and .8 up. I have read users had simlar numbers and then after 4.1.83 the drop by more than half. Any info would be apprecaited.
[Atrix 4G General] ftdn2006:
worked for me...thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Apocalypse487:
I managed to get my phone rooted once I got 1.8.3, but there was a problem. the phone got so laggy and it was close to being unusable. I wiped it clean and reinstalled the updates without root and the phone is working fine now. It took me 7 minutes to type up something that should have taken me 15 seconds. The screen was jacked up. Gingerbreak works fine as long as you use Sideload Wonder Machine, but the unusablity of the phone is a big problem. It worked better with superoneclick.

That was just my horrid experience. Gingerbreak works with the update, but it's not worth it if I can't use my phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Apocalypse487:
i tested out the speeds and i don't see a big difference. They did enable HSPA, but it's not doing anything. Probably because I don't have 4G here. I managed to get 3.63mbps (down) and 0.90mbps (up). Ping was 6s. These tests were done on 3G and 1.8.3 (also the graphics were cut down to get a better result. I retried it after i maxed the graphics and I got 2.59 down and 0.58 up. 332ms ping. These results were with 3 bars.

I had my phone rooted after 1.8.3 and it sucked hard. It was almost unusable. So i'm not gonna bother rooting for a while. The battery life has improved with the updates so I won't be needing setcpu for a while either.
[Atrix 4G General] :
Ya, I didn't see a huge improvement in speeds going to 1.8.3 either. There was definitely an improvement, but nothing like what many folks are seeing. And I live in Houston; plenty of towers with 3G around here.

I just now ran speed test to prove my point, and well, it actually kinda just made a liar out of me. :p - 3.6/1.08 184ms. I never get that here at the office. But then again, I always try during the day. It's early right now and most folks haven't come in yet. Maybe it's just everyone in my building all trying to use the same tower at once that kills my speeds? Interesting...

Also interesting is that my speeds are always better if I have sattellite turned on. Maybe someone here can explain why, or call me crazy. But it's been consistantly true.

As for your graphics settings affecting your speeds, I suppose that means that the CPU is doing a lot of the work. Of course it has to do some work, but I wish the network hardware on these phones had more TCP/IP off-loading capability, or whatever you would call it in the mobile realm. :(
[Atrix 4G General] Apocalypse487:
I'll have to try that. I always leave the gps on because it doesn't really drain the battery. I'll leave it off for a week and see what happens. I'm gonna test out HSPA when I go to Falls Church, Va, tomorrow. It's pretty close to DC and I heard 4G is working there.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimck99:
Hi,

I am considering purchasing a Galaxy Tab wifi version. I have been on this site for more than 2 hours and been trying to follow the development and get more information in efforts to better understand my options. However, there is WAY too much information to sift through and my brain can't process all the comments. So, my apology in advance as this question may have been answered before. With that said, I have two questions:

1) If I get the wifi version, will I need to install just the wifi custom ROM or can I installed GSM or CDMA version?

2) I have read that the wifi only version is slower than the CDMA or GSM version. Is there any proof of this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoTechni:
With the release of the Xperia Play specifically, it'd be nice if we had a way to create system wide, and per-program hotkeys.

For example, the camera app has X mapped as the shutter button. With this program we could set it so when the camera app is running, that R will take a picture (so we can do it with the camera closed) and in the home menu, pressing L and R together will open the camera program.

Some games/apps are programmed to let us map buttons, but very few use the analog touchpad. It'd be nice if we could map the different directions to different keys, so we could get rudimentary support for them in existing apps.

Now for those apps that dont use buttons at all, it could send touchscreen presses to them. You'd need a way to do this within the app itself so you could see where you're going to press it. Perhaps via a something (a widget?) in the notification slider, that takes a screenshot and brings up the menu, to let you select the X/Y coordinate to send. This would work great for the touchpad and virtual on-screen analog sticks

Now I can understand if you guys dont want to waste your time, but if you can provide me the necessary API, when I get the hang of Android development I could do it in time. Assuming it works like Windows, I'd need equivalent API to:

-listen for key presses even when the app is not in focus

-detect which app is in focus

-send artificial key/touchscreen events to that app

-take a screenshot of that app

Also, if you can provide the API to run the current Live Wallpaper in the background, it would help for another project I'd like to do.

[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
Does it also freeze on the old SD card and when you boot it without SD card in slot?
[XPERIA X8 General] adlinraya:

It freeze when i boot without SD card i slot and when i boot with new SD card.
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
So... if you have xRecovery and you can boot into it - restore the system. If you don't have one - use flashtool or SEUS with repair function. It's a damaged system, and I hardly believe it's because you put another SD card in your device...
[XPERIA X8 General] eagleeyetom:
Also you can try to format SD card once more on your PC.

Any advice on how to get past this? Thanks!

I believe that some SD cards just don't work with HC. I tried a few times on mine and never got it to work.

I think there is another post that discusses the cards that work, the ones that do not, and the ones that work for some folks and do not for others. Due to this information, I purchased an 8 Gig Class 6 Transcend (from Newegg) that works well with Honeycomb for me.

try a class 2 or class4 sandisk, they will perform well. the random read/write times on these cards is usually really good.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcodori:
my wife just updated her moto DX to a new TB. She used to sync her bodymedia fit device to her DX - its basically a bluetooth pedometer.

Now she can't sync with her TB. Also no go with a small bluetooth keyboard from deal extreme.

I knew about the wiimote issue but this is kind of sad. can the TB sync with anything other than headsets?

I remember when I first got my iphone i ended up jailbreaking and modding the BT stack.

Will this be fixed in the update? Can rooting allow a new bt stack? I'd really not want to install a whole new rom.

thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkozma:
CM7 has a completely different bluetooth stack than stock and every other currently available ROM. I've been trying and failing to try to get someone to write and update package to replace the stock bt stack with the one from CM7, but no one really seems to care. :(

For me it's about BT Audio quality. The stock setup sounds horrible because the bitpool setting of the stock stack is too low. If someone could figure out how to increase this or change the stack completely I'd be a happy camper. I did test CM7 out last night and the audio quality was superbe as I expected, but there's just too many things that are broken or don't work to use that ROM daily right now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcodori:
I was hoping that there would be a way to simply replace the bt stack without flashing a new rom. Seeing how the HTC phones don't work with so many bt devices you would think there would be more demand for this hack.
[Xoom General] weenrock:
Dear all,

Figured out how to ad-hoc connect via wifi. I guess it is NOT the Xoom's fault. It is the smartphone's fault.

This is according to my observation:

I had both stock non-rooted XOOM and stock rooted 2.2 froyo ATT Captivate.

I was unable to wifi tether because the ATT mobile AP message kept popping up saying that I needed to purchase a tether packed (No thanks).

I preferred the stock experience but finally went back to a custom rom (firefly) for the captivate. After installing the custom rom I can CONFIRM that I can connect via ad-hoc tether wifi via my captivate and Xoom!

I however, have not been able to bluetooth tether.

Anyways, I am returning my XOOM for the Asus transformer because it has the LED backlit screen and besides the $100 less price tag, it is identical.
[Xoom General] TheGrub:
Stock xoom here and rooted captivate using stock ROM and eXistz KB1 kernel.

I installed wifi teather found here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Had to play around with the settings and set Device Profile to Samsung captivate and setup-method to Softap for Samsung and now i can teather no problems.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Softap for Samsung is actually Infrastructure mode, not Ad-Hoc.
[Xoom General] mikejet:
It works fine with wifi tethering on 2.3 roms. No issues on CM7
[Xoom General] Drokare:
I have not been able to get this to work.

I have the Wifi Xoom 3.1 Stock ROM

Any Ideas? Or maybe a step by step guide? I am trying to get the BT Tethering to work.

Thanks,

-Drokare
[Xoom General] burden010:
Yeah I was doing this with my stock Xoom and CM7 Desire HD for ages. The problem was that an unrooted phone sets up an ad-hoc connection whereas in CM7 anyway it behaves as a router AP.
[Xoom General] Drokare:
So does that mean I can't get my Xoom to tether to my Captivate via BT?
[Xoom General] mr_wrong_0:
+1

The Xoom CAN-NOT tether to Ad-hoc without being rooted and changing out the wpa_supplicant file. The Captivate has the ability to tether infrastructure mode (mobile AP isn't ad-hoc.) The wireless tether 3.x (softap) is much more buggy than the 2.x (ad-hoc) on most phones but it might work great on your captivate. If it keeps restarting or getting really hot like it did on mine, you could always root your Xoom and flash the ad-hoc fix in recovery (super easy.)

Here's the link
[Xoom General] Drokare:
But that is Wifi Tethering or just setting my Captivate to be a Hot Spot.

I was more specifically asking about the Bluetooth tethering.

Has anyone been able to get this to work? I have seen numerous threads that say they got their Wifi only Xoom to BT tether to Droid X and others.

If I would need to flash my Captivate to another build I would easily. This is the only function I need to for my Xoom and I am completely content.

So I am asking if anyone has got the BT tethering to work... the Wifi Tethering or Hot Spot as you said does heat up the phone quickly, where my friend and his Droid X with BT tethering does not heat up noticeably.

Thanks in advance,

-Drokare
[Xoom General] Drokare:
So if I root the Xoom and add the Ad-hoc fix, it would allow me to use the BT Tethering?

Go to Menu-Settings-Call settings. Under Voicemail Service, select "my carrier" and underneath it, select "voicemail settings" and then type in your phone number without any parenthesis or hyphens.
