LOL. Another reprobate weighs in.

"you pay for it you use it how you want"

So, exactly how much are you "paying" for tethering (not that which is currently offered as a freebie, but the theft of services your comment implies)? Your comment might be better phrased "you pay for it, I use it," since it's going to be paid for by someone, and if not by those who rationalize stealing it, then by the rest of us.

"they make hundreds of millions of dollars"

I'm guessing (assuming you're not still in Jr. High, as your attitude suggests), that you make thousands of dollars. So, I'd be justified in stealing from you, by your logic.

"I pay an already high phone bill"

If it's too high, it's very easy to cancel the service. Obviously, since you're posting in the TB forum, you have one, which means you've recently renewed your service. Which is it - you agreed that the value per dollar was acceptable, or you're just stupid?
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
You have to disable other connections after enabling internet sharing mode. Windows doesnt magically switch to a better connection on its own.

People should also remember that torrent does not mean illegal. He never mentioned what he was downloading. Apparently no one else in this thread has ever downloaded a linux distro, since bittorent is a primary way to do it. Certain games and game content are distributed legally through bittorent as well along with other software (generally opensource stuff).

The other day I didn't want to wait 30 minutes for aptitude to update my system on my 630KB/s average DSL, so I plugged in my phone to internet sharing on LTE and it was done in < 5minutes @ 2500KB/s average.

Verizon's network does not block ports as far as I know, but you are behind NAT, so you aren't going to be running any sort of server either on the public internet or easily connecting to your phone from a remote location.
[Thunderbolt General] Nooter:
Why do people take threads like this off the rails so quickly? The OP asked a simple question that didn't really warrant a philosophical decision. Imposing your will on the miniscule number of TB users who visit XDA won't make any appreciable impact on Verizon's attitude towards sanctioned network use.

OP, please report back if following "yareally"'s suggestion of disabling other connections works once ICS is enabled. Also, are you able to bridge your connection to the TB's in Windows? It'd be sweet to be able to merge WiFi (for speed) with LTE (for reliability).
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
If you use frostwire... you probably still have a myspace...

Lol at your made-up story, VZW is here on XDA also... they just might come at you bro... :rolleyes:

In regards to the OP, lol at anyone who thinks this one single guy is going to be the downfall of unlimited data...
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Nope, cant bridge them in windows and use both (that is, it's not as simple as selecting both connections and clicking bridge). There's some ways to distribute their use over *nix and/or using a router and using them as separate connections, but it's not worth the time/effort. If you're really interested in doing it, there's some discussions about it on the xda forums already and elsewhere if you google around.
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
I've often wondered if they blocked ports.

I'd actually be more surpised if they didn't block certain ports than if they did. Though being behind NAT kind of precludes certain things (can you imagine running an httpd or ftpd or ircd from a 4G cell phone? :D).

I have always been curious if Verizon is to blame for my constant ping-timeouts and/or inability to connect to IRC. :)
[Thunderbolt General] EEdaesung:
Merging the connections is beyond me.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
If I was really paranoid or worried about verizon blocking stuff while sharing the internet with my pc, I would just forward or proxy connections through my server hosting via encrypted ssh (basically poor man's vpn without the need to set up an actual vpn). That would get around anything they are blocking on you and easy enough to set up (assuming you have hosting already and knowledge of how to use ssh).
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
Dyndns?

-sent via 1.21 giggawatts of android.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Ddns won't do much. Think of your phone as being on a wifi router you have no access or control over. You share a public ip ipv4 address with many other phones. You have a private ip on some subnet within the network though, but that's not too useful. Without a way to route the private ip to the public and vice versa, you're pretty much on an island by yourself as far as directly connecting. Look up NAT (network address translation).
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
Last I checked DynDNS charges money for that service. Afraid.ORG will do it for free. I have a domain pointed to my home IP, even though the IP hasn't changed in 2 years.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] soraxd:
does anyone know where to buy spare batteries? I found some on essay from china but they won't ship out till june.. anyone know anywhere you can buy some today?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] soraxd:
spare batteries anyone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markbloke:
Seeing a few on eBay now but it's unclear what the capacity is. I'm wary of them anyway as I've had Chinese sellers send me the wrong battery for recent phones (check the listing, the battery described is often different from the one in the title!). Also I've had fake capacity batteries sent out - 800mah or less packed out to full capacity size with foam-rubber!

I'm hoping someone will make an extended capacity battery as it wouldn't need to stick out the back much as the i9100 is recessed anyway. There is an external battery pack available but it's just an additional battery that clips round the phone, not a replacement. Fugly too!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rwc3b:
Ditto. Would love to score some batteries by next week since I'm going on a trip and won't always have access to an outlet. Especially since the battery drain is horrible.

Guess we're out of luck in the States since it'll take a while if shipped from UK
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Elythor:
Looking at eBay I see a backup battery like this:

1900mAh Back-Up Battery For Samsung Galaxy S2 II i9100

Granted it is not an actual spare battery...for approx USD$10 it may be worth it to get it for some emergency juice for the phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LondonGemini:

Hi, I was wondering if the tablet cases which have keyboards integrated will work on the transformer?

Such as this one: http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Toys-R-Us/...tegrated-Keyboard-Case-For-10-Tablet(0083942)

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] foxmeister:
That's a USB keyboard and there's no USB port on the TF, so no this wouldn't work without an adaptor of sorts. Also, given the width of the TF, it is doubtful it would fit nicely.

If you want something like this, why not just buy the keyboard dock?

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Skeldave:
Ah, thanks for the reply. The keyboard dock is a lot more expensive but ill look into it.

How can you connect to a pc with no usb?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] finalhit:
The RF doesn't have a USB host port. Its docking port doubles as a USB client port

Anyone help! Please I really loved the hack on 4.1.26 but don't wanna go thru the whole root process is so annoying
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudd_cat23:
There is no webtop mod for a un-rooted phone the rooting process is very simple now. Update to 1.8.3 place gingerbreak on sd card and run it and its rooted i am the noobest of noobs when it comes to androids and im a very stupid person when it comes to this kind of stuff and i managed it. Go to the dev section and theres a good guide to do it now. It usually takes 25 min to go from a fresh sbf flash to a rooted, sideloaded, Gingerblur and webtop. along with a CWM back up its not that bad no more
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seven2099:
Yeah lol rooting is so easy now

[Acer Iconia A500] tako2k:
I've tested some offline navigation apps...

What are your experience?

These are my new results (2011-09-27):

OK: iGo is running in small resolution 800 x 360, GPS o.k.

OK: CoPILOT life is running in full screen resolution (but it is not very stable, when sounds are enabled) GPS o.k., no TTS on A500!

OK: Sygic 11.2 is running in full screen, with GPS o.k. and TTS!

Not OK: Navigon select 3.6 or older is not running, because the Acer has no IMEI No.

OK: Navigon 3.6 is running, but no menu functions are reachable.
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
i have copilot working.... but that was "annoying" to say the least.

it was constantly freezing during downloading of the maps (somehow my $4.99 US map purchase gave me access to the $19.99 mapset for north america, so that's a plus)

after disabling the startup sounds, the annoying button feedback sounds, and using the text to speech voice option, it seems to be more stable.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I use Navigation. Just cache the area - I have quite a bit of the state cached and have been using it pretty reliably.

Though an offline navigation app would be ideal, at least Navigation is stable.
[Acer Iconia A500] omnikohh:
Navigation or Navigon?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Google Navigation.

thanks in advance

erica renee:mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
Sheer persistance...

When starting up, I took it SLOW...no quickly tapping on options or flying though menus. No multitasking either. When it's downloading maps, I just let it be.

This was all after a few hours of trying :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:

[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
Glad it worked out.
[Acer Iconia A500] secularhuman:
how do you cache the area?

how do you cache the area?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Basically navigate around when connected to WIFI. Navigation will stream the info from Goolge maps and cache the tiles it loads. I'm sure there is a limit to how much it can cache but, for the most part, it works.

Just be aware that there are several levels of tiles - zoomed in, zoomed out. If you cache zoomed out tiles, it doesn't necessarily mean when you zoom in, the info will be available (when not connected to WIFI and being solely dependent on cached data) so cache zoomed in tiles. The ones that have all the side street names showing.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
cache google nav

to cache the local maps on google nav.open maps not nav go into the setting at the top right of the screen in the drop down.will be cache settings.I also noticed if you are offline and trying to use nav.Open maps first hit the my location icon. when it finds you .hot the settings then directions then n

google nav will open with a fix.just opeening nav sometimes looks for date and i/guess not the cache files of g maps

Mapdroyd Works great and is completely free available on the market. Once installed it will give you the option of what maps you would like to download and install, no internet required while navigating around.
[Acer Iconia A500] kmetek:
i don't get it, how?
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
sygic looks more tablet friendly than copilot, but copilot does exactly what i need it to do, get me and my a500 from point a to b.
[Acer Iconia A500] kmetek:
At me nothing works
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
I'm using Sygic at the moment, it works pretty well, although when in the menu, the bottom two buttons are half-hidden behind the honeycomb navigation bar. A small annoyance, but kinda aggravating. The maps seem decent, and at least it works on my A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] cptblackgb:
Sygic would not work for me. I could use the downloader to get maps but when i tried to open the app itself nothing. Just crash straight back to homescreen.

What version were you guys using? Or did you have to tweak the app to get it to run?

I would love to get it workihg so any info would b4 great.

*Edit must have been gremlins. Was constantly closing when i tried earlier and now it works fine. And i must say it pretty impressive.
[Acer Iconia A500] tatuk:
Hello,

I downloaded it, and tried to understand how to get turn-by-turn route with voice navigation... No way.

Will you please prompt me any site with help? Mapdroyd doesn't have it's own help...
[Acer Iconia A500] 3c:
Could tell us how you got it working, and which version? It works well on my phone (same proc) but not on the A500!?
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
I can confirm:

Didn't bother with iGo, hate the tiny res.

Copilot running full screen, working, but (seemingly) random crashes when you do things copilot-system related (like settings) - map and gps use is fine, crash on exit rarely, crash on enter or leave setting always.

Sygic runs in full screen PLUS SOME EXTRA - the botton buttons are only 1/2 shown. Still work, but hard to press. Gps and mapping work OK.

NDrive runs in TINY res, middle of top of screen. If the screen is 1280 x 800, then ndrive is running 480 x 320 or so. ** This may be fixable in the ini file, according to another forum **. all mapping and gps work, just damn tiny!

Navigon 2.6.0 fails, alwasy crashes on startup, prob for reson mentioned. Not tried newer, but will and report.

I'll try the "fix" for ndrive and see what happens - I relly liked ndrive, so it'd be good if it worked.

If anything failes to work, make sure you terminate the app processes (not just 'exit' from sygic, for eg - it's still running - use an app kilelr to terminate sygic, then restart it. It'll work.

Note that ALL my testes were done with already downloaded map files that were backed up from my Archos 101 and restored to the A500 (after findign out where they had to go, locations was different).
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
for copilot, my stability increased by disabling "button click sounds" and "say welcome to copilot" in the sound settings screen.

Funny thing is, the say welcome bit work well, it's only after that it fubars..

I'll give it a try though, thanks for the idea.
[Acer Iconia A500] shin lucifer:
Did the same thing when i first got co pilot; turn of sound and button feed back. No crash yet, however it did crash alot when i had to download maps, but i was working on tablet while it was downloading

Is there any way to move the maps to SD card. Its taking room on my a500 and i dont like that. Since the North America version is only 16 gig :(. I looked through co-pilot internal setting, but didnt see any option to move map or save map to SD/external SD.
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
you mean 1.6GB (mine says 1.2), but it's in the copilot dir on /mnt/sdcard

that whole dir and you'll be good.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
Starup sounds and button click = OFF worked for me too.

Copilot is now (so far) stable.

Anyone have any idea how to make NDrive full screen instead of 480x320. It WAS full screen on a 1200 x 600 Archos 101 tab.
[Acer Iconia A500] playaed:
any luck getting ndrive to go full screen?
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
Not yet - I've been told it's to do with dpi settings in the ndrive.ini file. I can't find one to change, and it might be a root-only type of fix (which I'm not going to do).

I'll keep looking. NDrive is superior to all the rest, with Sygic close behind. Copilot wastes too much screen with it's side bar (you can remove it, but not make it smaller).

[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
did you guys clean install it or install the apk and copy your own files over?

Sygic ONLY likes to see map files from somewhere else (copied over) - make sure you didn't copy any settings files over, they are different to each tablet.

(And I'm not just talking about config files - some sygic system files seem to be tagged to a tablet too).

I tried deleting only the aura/maps directory and it worked fine. Of course, the lowest part of the screen is hidden by the notification bar and buttons, but it's no big deal.

A bit off topic, if you go to /Aura/res/voices, you can safely delete the voices that you don't plan to use and save up space.

sygic apk sharing

Any chance you can share sygic apk with us?

Thanks,
[Acer Iconia A500] AdmiralDJ:
I tryed also 4 different Sygic Aero V3 Apk-s i could find. None of them accually worked for me.

Problem was about maps i guess, because it installed correctly, downloaded base files and my needed Estonian map, but no matter what apk i used, it crashed right after Sygic logo. Deleted the MAPS directory and program started really well, let me do the settings and then just tell that maps were not installed(even when supplying maps later, it crashes).

SO, does anyone have same problem? What could help it, I tryed some other maps, but i think, they dont match. Maybe downloading full Europe maps would help? Can anyone of those who got it to work help me with this issue, did you download any maps from somewhere else?(then where) what changes are neccecary and used APK file would be also nice for others with issues.

Thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
You are not a paying customer are you? My advice, buy it, or at least download the official market release which has a trial period. It probably will not show in the market, but if you have another Android device you can take the apk from there (that's what I did, using my Nexus One). Forget about all the hacks and cracked versions.
[Acer Iconia A500] AdmiralDJ:
That may be the problem. Thank You for that, but unfortunately I have no other android device to get the original market version.

CoPilot Live USA

I ended up buying copilot live, its like $5. Install is a nightmare (read market comments) but runs decent when all maps have been downloaded. Don't even bother downloading the windows copilot app its a waste of time. Just use the app/tab to download maps. Also save your self some grief and just download all the maps you will ever need at one time (ex. all USA maps), so you don't have to deal with it again. GPS on the acer is crappy though and I struggled to keep lock a lot, had same problem with gmaps tethered on 3g. My EVO gps put the acer to shame and worked flawlessless with both apps.

I have the latest Navigon app with Europe. It works but the settings menu doesn't show. So while I can navigate I cannot change the settings.

The fix is overall fast and accurate and the UI is very user friendly. Plus it is just great to have a 10" navigation. :D

Edit: I did not encounter any IMEI check or so. I bought it initially for my SGS but I could also download it on my A500. Navigon is working to improve tablet support, so they say...
[Acer Iconia A500] samaliset:
Hello,

Just 2 question, please:

- How to get the program running without Internet connection?.

- How can I add some maps (USA) for instant, since the computer can not recognize the tablet?.

- How can I move the MAPS folder to ext.sd and continue to use them from Navigon?

Thanks for he helps
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
1 - you take the microsd out of the tablet, slip it into a microsd reader (the microsd might hve come with one, or they re about $5), load it up on the PC, slip it back into the tablet, and transfer across.

Crappy, I know, but A2.2 used to be able to allow PC access to microsd, A3.0 is useless as far as that goes, and 3.1 will be no better, I hear. They are going backwards, not forwards..

2 - not sure about this, there are a few bav apps that have xml files you can edit that tell it where to look for it's map files. I don't know if navigon allows for this.. have a look!
[Acer Iconia A500] samaliset:
Thank you for your prompt reply.

I am not sure to have had understood the 1st point. So, I take the micros sd out from the device, I download the map(s)? I need from Navigon, then I reinsert the Micros sd into the device and at the end copy the news downloaded maps to Navigon. Is this right?

But one question here, should I erase the current maps from Navigon before I do all that?
