[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhinged:
When the battery gets low (not sure what percentage), the screen dims and there is no option to turn up the brightness. Is there a way to change this on a rooted Tab? Is it possible through the development API to adjust this, so that it can be implemented in an app?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoman24v:
Charge your battery. It comes on when like 5% remains anyway.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhinged:
It comes on when there's 15%, as I got two more low-battery notifications after that. The problem is the tab is almost unusable at that brightness (especially outdoors or in a car during the day) and since I ran it for two more hours with Angry Birds and YouTube, I've lost two hours of battery life period. If it let me adjust brightness, I could at least use it until it depleted.

There has to be some way to change this, even if I have to root it, change a config file, or write an app to let me change it. Does anyone know how to modify this setting?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
Genuine question only because it wasn't mentioned. Auto brightness isn't checked right?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhinged:
Brightness was checked the first time, the second time it was unchecked and all the way up.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sef_P1000:
Did you notice, the backlight for the four haptics buttons at the bottom will also turn off at this point, which makes them impossible to see when it's dark.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
You need check then uncheck auto, you be able to change the brightness

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyl3z:
I'm having the same issue. I have a battery issue where my tab displays 1% when I have 20% or more remaining. Was wondering if you found a fix to this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howtodoo?:
after rooting the htc thunderbolt can we use the wifi tether app for root users to tether for free? and will it be at 4g speeds. sorry if this was answered already, and thanks for the info.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aostl:
Yes yes and yes it has been answered. You can also use the mobile hotspot app that came on the phone for free without root
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howtodoo?:
thank you. i knew we had like a free trial period with the hot spot app, isnt that gonna cancel out soon? i wanna be able to use the wifi tether like i did with my motorola droid it was so handy having that option. thanks again..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what25:
The free hotspot thing ends on May 15th. Then you gotta pay.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PWEB18:
yup...4g speeds a little slower through the tether but it still beats Comcast
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firejuan:
Be careful, Big Red (and others) is watching. Wireless tether, easy tether, and PDAnet have all been removed from the market for VZW customers. I am sure a quick Google search will find the apks to download, but I think part of what is pushing carriers to demand locked bootloaders is people abusing rooted tethering. I can’t say that I agree since I am paying for the data so it should not matter if I use it through my phone or laptop, but there have been rumblings of problems such as data throttles for heavy data users.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bill.allrobots.org:
I don't agree with them, but I think the rationale is the buffet metaphor... you can't pay for the buffet and invite 5 friends to share your meal. I think this is a big part of why (to my knowledge) USB tethering isn't being targeted. Wifi tethering is like sharing with 5 friends, USB tethering is bringing your own plate and silverware.

Honestly I'd prefer a "do what you want, tethering or not" approach that included a X GB limit over this "unlimited, but we decide how you use it" crap.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kSkwaired:
I hear the free unrooted mobile hotspot is only free for a few more weeks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KilgoreBA:
All you have to do to download Wireless Tether or any other apps blocked by Verizon is put your phone into Airplane Mode and then turn on WiFi. As long as you have a WiFi signal with the phone in Airplane Mode, you will have accessibility to all blocked Apps in the Market, even if your phone is not rooted!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my_handle:
That's awesome to know. Tried and verified
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefurby:
Personally, I don't like that companies are moving toward the "buffet" approach to providing internet access. I have AT&T DSL. They provide me with an internet connection. PERIOD. They don't give me the internet connection and then say only use this on one computer nor do they say I'm not allowerd to hook it up to my Linksys router. It makes more sense to me that way. Maxing out my connection speed on one machine would be equivalent to me maxing it out across several.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosrg3003:
Let me make it simple.

I am from Brazil. I have a Galaxy S I9000 running stock Gingerbread.

I am a TIM user.

How it was:

I could access GPRS signal everywhere in my town.

Information under Settings --> About --> Network = TIM 3G+ 16 (area code) and GPRS

What happened:

I travelled to Amazon Florest. Extremely poor signal and no data connection whatsoever.

And then I got back to my town.

How it is now:

I can only access EDGE signal. Extremely poor data connection. And people saying that they could´t reach me on the phone.

Information under Settings --> About --> Network = TIM 3G+ 19 (not my area code) and EDGE

What I did to try fix it:

Reinstalled the firmware with re-partition ticked.

How is it now:

80% of the time I get EDGE signal.

People can talk to me now on the phone.

Information under Settings --> About --> Network TIM BRASIL (no area code) and EDGE (80% of the time) or GPRS (20% of the time)

What the hell is happening????

I want my phone working as it was before. 100% of the time with 3G connection.

What can I do?

Obs: My phone is set to use Only WCDMA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Possible ask in the Brazil post on here .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosrg3003:
Yeah, but there they use the Brazilian version of Galaxy (I9000B) and mine is the International version. And I use Gingerbread. Brazilian version only got Froyo...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Any particular reason you are setting it to WCDMA only instead of auto?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosrg3003:
In my town, as in most towns in Brazil, 3G towers are few.

So the cell is allways looking for the best reception and keep changing from GPRS to EDGE and vice versa.

If I set to WCDMA only, the cell keeps on the GPRS and the conection is way better (at least for me).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosrg3003:
No one can help me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosrg3003:
Ok!

I helped myself. And I am no expert.

The problem was that when I traveled to Amazon Florest, my cell kept searching for the best reception. And somehow it automatcally activated all frequencies for WCDMA ranging from 850 to 2100.

And here in my town, TIM only uses 2100 for 3G.

Now I am back to where I was!!!

Thanks for me!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morph3k:
I obviously prefer Tiamat but there are others too. try to find some undervolting, make sure the kernel has HAVS and viperboy has some scripts that will undervolt even more if you can maintain stability to keep your battery life going. choose the "smartass governor" with an app called setcpu

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenatos:
Hi,

I recently updated the ROM (Lee Droid 3.0.5) and the RADIO (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08) on my HTC Desire (Telstra NextG 850Mhz)

I un-rooted the device, then installed CWR mod, followed by S-Off.

Now my internet speeds are absolutely terrible!

I was getting *consistent* 5mpbs + download / 1.2mbps + upload speeds in Speedtest.Net app...

Now I'm getting 1.4mps download / 400kbps upload speeds AT MOST!

I have tried downgrading ROM to stock 2.2 and RADIO to 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14... and have tried many things but nothing is helping, and in fact its getting worse.

I have no idea what to do, ANY help would be much appreciated!! :confused:

then why is this error??

also i tried accessing the system/xbin and system/bin folder through ES file explorer...and i found out that these folders are still not writable..

is this why i am not able to install busybox??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeti.p:
You have to S-off your phone first to make system/... writeable.

And next, you need a file explorer from the market, which supports root access. I recommend "root explorer", it's easy to handle and clear.

+1 for root explorer, no other I have used is as intuitive or feature rich, plus root explorer actually can access everything it says it can!

Been using a discovery 975 from plantronics for a year now and been completely satisfied with the sound quality but looking for something with AD2P, and possibly better noise cancellation and battery life.

Tried the top- of- the- line blue ant had last year and before that the jawbone2. Both had excellent noise cancellation but callers could tell I was using a headset and even commented it sounded robotic. Voice quality is #1 priority, noise cancellation 2nd, features 3rd.

Suggestions?

I have the jawbone era and love. Its great for listening to podcasts and music as well.

Thanks for the reply. I was considering a jabra headset. Do you know if the voice quality much improved from the jawbone2?
[EVO 4G Accessories] billyapd21:
This is the first Jawbone that I've owned. I really like it. You get about 5 hours of talk time with it and it plays all media which is really nice. I've listened to podcasts through google listen, music through sense, and baseball games through the MLB app all using the Jawbone. It also fits really nice and secure. It's a little pricey but def nice.

All of that and people on the other end never complain they can't hear me and always seem to understand me (replies go with what I said, w/o them saying "what?")...fits secure....may take some time with all the earbud configurations given to find just that right 1 but you will eventually. I can wear it all day w/o pain if inserted correctly.

I would try the Sound Id 510, I took a risk and bought one off ebay for a hell of a deal, worked so well I got one for the wife. Very clear, the noise reduction is amazing, very comfortable and they have and android app that lets you tweak the settings.

http://www.soundid.com/sid510/overview.html
[EVO 4G Accessories] untruestory:
Never looked into sound id.

Headsets w/ noise cancellation my voice sounded artificial even after spending $100+ w/ jabra or blueant. I tried a friend's plantronics he spent half the $ it didn't do as well with lots of bg noise but people recognized my voice and didn't say I sounded strange.

I don't mind spending up to $200 if I can get the best of both worlds.

After wearing every day for a year the paint is worn and there's ear boogers in it. Figured technology must have come up with something better. I just hate returns.
