My Defy running uk stock 2.2 generates a hotspot in infrastructure mode and it works well with my Asus Transformer.

I have seen comments in the CM7 thread that suggest that to generate a tether spot you need to install wireless tether for root - I think others have mentioned that this is only adhoc.

Obviously I am not running CM7 so can't confirm this for you.

Have a look at the main CM7 thread.
[Defy General] SeaFargo:
Infact the "wifi tether for root" worked in infrastructure in Eclair and in Froyo, but just in ad-hoc in MIUI and CM.

I really can not figure why ...
[Defy General] nolimitzz:
i posted this in CM7 thread, just to answer your question, im pasting it here:

found it!

thanks to a thread at modaco, just copy hostapd file from /system/bin of any Defy froyo rom, and paste it in CM7 /system/bin , chmod 755, run wifi tether for root, it will now have WPA/WPA2 not only WEP, and also run as infrastructure mode!

file is attached for those who want the solution quick and dont have froyo at hand.
[Defy General] twa_priv:
What's the exact name of the wifi tether app you guys are using? I couldn't find one named "wifi tether for root users" in the market. I found this one googling around though: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/. Is this the one?

Thanks
[Defy General] nolimitzz:
yes it is.

Hello! I used to use Wireless Tether(the released version, not the beta one) and it worked fine on my default eclair. now that i have CM7 RC0, i have some problem, but ONLY if i activate access control.

Tried the version above, the beta one, and i couldn't even be able to find the network(and don't have the hide SSID option to be enabled :()

any idea of what could it be?
[Defy General] nolimitzz:
try version 2.07:

[Defy General] soueumesmoaki:
Hey guys... i'm sorry for what i'll say now.. but i'm not a developer =(

BUT, i can find some solutions on the web. (=

well.. here is the deal... As i said before, i used to use Wireless tether(what seems to be the non-beta version of this wifi tether, as the interface is pretty much the same)

after upgrading my cellphone to Gingerbread CM7 RC0, i tested it today and got a problem on activating access control...

Well.. i guess that i found some possible solution for this:

the ONLY problem, is that i have no idea on how to do what is written above :(

could anyone help?
[Defy General] soueumesmoaki:
Heya. thanks for answering, but I just checked. the version i'm using and having problem, is the 2.0.7.

when i tried the beta, couldn't even broadcast the SSID, so got back to the "market" version :p
[Defy General] roundaus:
hay mate, how do you copy to the sys dir?

bit of a novice :eek:
[Defy General] nosklo:
You have to use some application capable of remounting the /system partition as read/write (it is read-only by default) and copy the file, and you need a way to edit permissions.

I've used root explorer to do both things above. Remember the file has to be named hostapd (all in small caps). It works for me -- now I have infrastructure tether in my CM7 defy.
[Defy General] The Land of Smeg:
I'm not having any luck with MIUI 1.10.8 with Hostapd & android-wifi-tether unfortunately.

Tether starts with an error in the log in 2.0.7, "Starting hostapd... failed" & "Activating WiFi interface... failed" but I can't see further details than this.

Tether starts without error in 3.1-beta6 but SSID does not come up.

Permissions of Hostapd (with uppercase H) are "rwx rwx rwx", using ES File Explorer, and have rebooted between attempts.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belfastbob:
I was wondering if anyone could help with this problem. My SGS II connects with my in built (Ford) car system, its does everything it should apart from that it can not display the call list (in or out). This was also the problem on my SGS on stock roms until I installed CM7 and then the call lists showed up perfectly. Is it the case that Samsung roms are putting the call logs in a different place that cannot be seen by the car system, if so would it be easy to change this or do I have to wait until a CM rom is made for the SGS II.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revaz:
SGS II as well as SGS has a very gig problems with BT in car on stock ROM. I had SGS before and there was a problems BT constantly drops in AUDI car system. Temporarily it was solved by BT Fix from the market but finaly solved only coming to a custom ROM (all of them solving that). Now Having SGS II It is total disaster in AUDI - first it constantly drops BT connection and even more - if I'm talking by phone during being connecting to BT, connection failed BUT after call finished phone crushed down and it takes 10 second pushing power button to get it back :-( And then in phone all pairings went out! So - do anybody know this case? And waiting for the custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longkesh:
I have a Mercedes E-class (new type). No problems at all with the BT. Very quick to connect, and I can control track fw/bw from the steering wheel. No drops. Works with the default music player as well as Spotify. Phonebook transfere is quick.

Ford focus audio bluetooth

Hello,

I have the same issue with the Ford Focus Bluetooth. It plays ans stops all the time. hands-free works great. Did you solve it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kostushko:
Hello everybody.

the same issue with new Volvo S60. Previously car kit perfectly worked with Nokia E71... As for S2 - I was able to pair the phone and car. But afterwards, connection could be reestablished only if it's initiated from the phone side (I select "My Car" in bluetooth menu of the phone). Without such actions the car is unable to find the device...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spadjaari:
Hi all,

Yesterday I have tested SGS2 (LiteROM 1.5) in my BMW E92 LCI and it works really fine so far.

(call, sms, phone adressbook and bluetooth audio streaming).

BMW offers the possibility to connect two phones at the same time.

I successfully connected my nokia business phone for bluetooth call & SGS2 for bluetooth audio streaming only.

SGS2 is the first mobile that I have connected to my car not only displaying title/artist information properly using the default music player,

but also offers good mp3 sound quality over A2DP. :)

Strange enough, when I use a different music player (e.g. PowerAMP) the title/artist information is not working any longer. Any ideas?

Cheers, Spad

Problem with transmission over car bluetooth

Hi there,

I have a galaxy s2 that used to connect (with no problems) with my alpine CDE-126BT

After I messed around with the service mode for a while trying to crank up the volumes, there is no transmitted voice over the call (the other side can not here me when I'm connected to the car's Bluetooth).

I know that if I reboot the phone all the changes that was done in the service mode would reset to the default settings, it seems to revert back default but I still have the same problem.

Any advice??

Thanks,

David.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simmoyo:
Hey XDA how are we?

I'm pretty sure I have a unique problem, or I'm a spazz at searching forums.

My problem is that no matter what rom/kernal/radio I use, I cannot DOWNLOAD on 3G ONLY. I can download on E and H, and upload on E/3G/H but absolutely cannot download on 3G.

Im in Melbourne, Australia on the Vodafone network

currently using Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M because word on the street is that its the best.

Today im using RCMixHD_KINGDOM_v0.2 rom and MDJ's_V15_2.6.35.13_ Kernel but it changes almost everyday.

Any advice? Greatly appreciated!

Important to all theme developers and users to read before making/downloading themes.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/42669045/4D-AMOLED-Presentation

Green is the best at 40K hours, Red is 25K and Blue is 12K hours = Conclusion that green themes is best of the best for AMOLED like Jumba's NeonGT was. Someone should save Jumbas theme who has skills to rebuild neonGT because it was almost complete green and very easy to eyes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Vanto:
Nice info

It would be really useful for Theme developers/moders

Sent from my JVH_DeOdex~®Voodoo--I9000 using Tapa
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ro_explorer:
Ok, the blue pixels have"only" 12k hours until the brightness will decrease to a certain value. Did you even took the time to calculate what 12k hours means for a phone with an average of 4 hours of screen on per day? ... The answer is .... about 10 years. I wonder how many amoled displays from today will still exists then.

Later edit: not to mention that the respective document is from 2008.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] myshu:
i'd say black is even better :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] madphone:
Jossilint is right. I had a samsung wave before i bought galaxy s. Most icons were blue and white in top bar. After a couple of months you could see the shape of the icons in fullscreen mode, especially on blue or grey backgrounds.

So you can notice when blue led's are getting older.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dhiru1602:
AMOLEDs have improved a lot since that article was posted. Infact, the rated lifetime of the AMOLED pixels actually indicates the time after which the intensity of the light emitted will be degraded, but not totally gone dead. We know that Blue degrades faster, so if you happen to see the screen showing more of Green and Red and comparatively lesser blue, it would be a good time to get your screen replaced. :D

And coming to my personal preference, If I manage to use my phone for around 2 years or more and start seeing these issues, I would definitely pay for a new screen. Just because I love the screen.. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] madphone:
i think most people will never notice decreased brightness of blue oleds. only in top bar, when you use the same blue or white icons at same position over months. even then it is only slightly visible, but it is.

i'm not the only one reporting it. i've seen a couple of wave users in forums with similar effects. and wave is using exactly the same display, only size is smaller.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jossilint:
Yes but not with greywhite text (rgb all in use) but with green or red green mixed. I have readed lot of xda SGS burn in horror stories even after couple month(i assume max brightness used) and i am sure that this degraded light was blue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ro_explorer:
I think you guys are overreacting. You'll end by NOT using your phone because you will always look not to burn the display. You'll NOT enjoy the beautiful colors and teh extraordinary contrast because of the same reason.

WTF? ... we are talking about a device that was built to entertain us, not to spend neurons in figuring out how not to do things with it.

Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jossilint:
You can enjoy, just change habits a bit like not giving max brightness in sun(just use better angle and medium is ok). SGS is not meant for hours of navigation in car this will kill most fastest, use TomTom or some other lcd based phone, SGS is good for quick navigation. SGS is perfect for darkness because AMOLED has no light leak like lcd and has best colors.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ro_explorer:
SGS is good to be used with whatever application you want and in any way you want. To change habits because I have an AMOLED display will mean to change habits because of a device instead of changing a device because of my habits.

Is like the old saying: "are you living to eat or are you eating to live?" Everything is a matter of perspective.

I consider myself more important than a device ... so I'll use that device to my satisfaction, not the other way around.

So please ... use the SGS to enjoy what you're doing. When the SGS will die (no matter if is the screen, the battery or whatever) you can always get a new one :).
[Acer Iconia A500] huxflux2003:
Hello,

I am noticing that my Iconia does not have good 3d/gpu performance. Portrait mode switching between homepages is sluggish and quadrant 3d tests provide very low framerates (much worse than my galaxy s). Overall scores vary around 2000. I am running Acer_A500_1.016.03_com_gen1. The games also work ok, but I would expect better framerates.

Does anyone else experience this? What firmwares are you running?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puredesire:
If I install a ROM ex. MIUI 1.5.6 X-part, what changes does it makes on my SD card? Will there be problems adding another rom after that? Do I need to reformat / partition on my SD card if I should go to a different ROM with a2sd+?

Another question:

If I made ​​a backup of everything in recovery and want to restore do I have to wipe everything before restoration?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeptimiuB:
The rom won't make any changes to your sd card. however you wil need to format the card for the a2sd because you will need to create an ext3/ext4 partition(use rom manager or some kind of partitioning tool for pc eg: MiniTool Partition Magic Home Edition (free). no problems should be encountered if you want to add other ROM's after that as long as you wipe before, usually Chefs tell you what to do before flashing their rom.

For the 2nd question, no, you dont need to format if you want to restore a backed up rom
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Has anyone experienced, what I'm calling the "Dim of death"?

Basically, it only seems to happen in the browser. Things will seem ok and then the screen will go dim... basically the device freezes, but not completely. For example, I can return to the lock screen, but cannot enter my lock pattern. Pressing "play" on my bluetooth keyboard will start up a song.

The problem is, there's no recovery from the "dim of death" other than to restart the device. It's the only reason why I have to restart my transformer and the one thing that makes me affraid to use the stock browser (which I do only if I need to play flash content)

Anyone else have this problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
Among all the build quality issues I have also had this too. One more reason besides light bleed dust under screen and under camera glass and bad creaking with raIr sharp ports, to send it back.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Prof-KOS:
That's a little extreme. Light bleed and dust ARE legitimate warranty issues. The rest is not really that much of a problem, unless you're looking for a reason to *****.

I have no light bleed or dust under the screen. I do have a small creaking and the occasional "dim of death". I wouldn't dream of returning this device for that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
woah! I think you guys are missunderstanding what I wrote. When the browser "crashes" the entire screen goes dim... it's a software thing and the OS becomes unresponsive. I'm not talking about dust or light bleed! LOL
[Eee Pad Transformer General] UnitLost:
Backlight Bug?

I have seen something similar, but not in the browser... there are times where the unit seems to lock up, but music will continue to play, and if I hit the "home" button (which isn't visible, but you can kind of guess where it is), you can VERY VAGUELY see the home screen (especially the weather lettering). You can also 'swipe' sideways from screen to screen.

I can usually duplicate this problem by adjusting the brightness, which seems to turn off the backlight (but the device is still running - you just can't see what's on the screen). Setting the brightness to "auto" seems to help a little bit.

Also, when I do a "reset", the startup display screens show properly but it will usually not startup properly - the backlight is still off. A reliable fix for me, though, is to plug the device in to charge and restart, which seems to work every time.

I'm really torn on this... this is getting very frustrating and I'm not sure whether to RMA (who knows how long that will take) or wait for a fix... (the fact that the display screens illuminate properly make me think that it's not a hardware issue...)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kilmar:
Do you guys have it set to auto brightness? I have it set to manual and have never seen this yet (knock on wood).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Yes, I've got mine set to auto, but I believe the dimming is more related to the OS crashing more than anything else. I just avoid the stock browser and I don't get the problem :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kimi_Q:
I heard about that the newest FW-V8.2.3.13 solve this problem. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Nope, happened yesterday.... only in the stock browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b1ackplague:
I'm on FW8.2.3.13 and its happened to me as well. It happened on 8.2.3.9 as well. It only happens in two scenarios both of which involve high brightness; 1) try turning the brightness all the way up and the backlight shuts off and 2) let auto brightness turn the brightness up and it turns off.

The first three days I was on 8.2.3.13 (rooted Prime 1.3) it worked fine to where I could adjust brightness to any level. I installed some games and a task manager after that so I guess ill start by removing the task manager.

Its happened in Google books and the browser for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Reverence12389:
This has happened to me once before, but I can't remember if it was before or after the update. The browser went dim and was unresponsive, but then I think it either gave me the option to force close or I let it sit for a minute and hit back and managed to get to the home screen and then force closed the browser through the application settings page.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ToddW2011:
I just bought the 32GB model (and keyboard dock) and this happens right from the box. During the initial setup it wants to create a Google account. As soon as the browser inits the screen goes black. Holding the power button for 10 seconds causes a reset and it reboots to the same point. I had to create the account on my PC and then was able to go past. Then the OTA tried to spawn the browser and tanked. Grrr! I just did a factory reset; hopefully the restore ROM they have is clean otherwise I'm going to frisbee this bloody unit across the room!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ToddW2011:
Worth mentioning? The screen blacks out when running Android Market as well, but _not_ the YouTube app. Is it just segfaulting on a shared lib? :confused:

Firefox, DolphinHD, and Angry Birds all cause the screen to go black. In the case of Angry Birds, the music continues to play so the machine isn't frozen; it has merely turned off the display. logcat seems to bear this out as you can see it setting display brightness to 0. Why, I cannot say.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
haven't had this yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b1ackplague:
Your post is entirely unhelpful.

Anyways...I uninstalled "taskpanel" but now i'm too afraid to turn up the brightness because i'm not sure if it will go dim or not.

The backlight turns off even when i'm on the homescreen and set the brightness to max.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ToddW2011:
I installed Firefox and it will make the screen black out as well. Dmesg shows Tegra_pwm going into pwm and setting the display to 0 but it doesn't show the caller! :mad: I either have to press the power key multiple quick presses in a row or hold for 10 seconds. Gratingly, the "Power Off" dialog will illuminate the screen but immediately blackout again when I click Cancel. ACV, terminal basically any app that doesn't use a library common to browsers and Android Marker (Gmail app as well.) As above, the YouTube app functions perfectly, so I know both the unit and the networking stack is functional to a point. I am curious as to how these units paint the screen; is it a WM on X or a binary-blob to the framebuffer?

A factory reset did nothing, sadly. Given that I cannot scan the filesystem (I'm thinking a corrupt node exists) I need a way to wipe the internal flash and put a fresh image down (after scanning the MTD.) Any ideas?

Cheers,

Todd.

(PS: I've been lurking for a while so I'll pre-answer some common questions. I've minor light bleed from lower left at extreme angles, no obvious creaking, sound appears balanced and I've yet to get zapped by the charger. Without the web its difficult to install test apps! ;))
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ToddW2011:
Weird. I have the screen timeout set to "never" and the brightness manually set to 60% and it still turns off the screen, even when idle at the homescreen. I have it docked; does this alter how it does power management?
