It's the native "Wi-Fi Hotspot" app in 2.2. My carrier, US Cellular, didn't disable or shackle it so I can use it with my current phone data plan without an extra fee. Most other carriers require a separate plan to use this feature, unless your rooted, from my understanding. My Desire is not rooted (no pun intended).
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dennka:
I see, so you do phone as hot spot and then in TF enable wifi and it should pick up phone and that's it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dannvok:
That is correct. It's very simple, as long as it works! Good luck.

i'm on streakdroid 1.9.0 and i love it, but would love to have the three touch capacative buttons to be always lit up while the screen is awake. can anyone help?
[Streak 5 General] D33PTHAWTE:
several people have asked this question, myself included, and the answer seems to be...nothing. I was told that it was that way to conserve battery, and "you'll get used to it"...and in some small way I've learned to tolerate it this long, but I still don't like it. I'm planning on flashing to a different rom because I believe that's the only solution.

Someone did suggest an app called AdjBrightness or something like that, but it did not work for me, or the fellow it was suggested to.
[Streak 5 General] grasshoxda:
aw man thats too bad, those buttons NEED to be lit up. its helpful to be able to see where they are and looks much cooler
[Streak 5 General] sturmavik:
I disagree - I never notice that they're turned off anymore. And I think the screen is prettier without the lighted buttons drawing attention to themselves.
[Streak 5 General] elessarelfstar:
It was annoying for me at first as well, but after using the device for a while I'm used to it. I hit the appropriate button on the first try nearly every time. Since there are only three buttons you can generously put a lot of your thumb/finger onto one of three large areas.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divx118:
Try to redownload the firmware, corrupted file can be the cause of update failure. Also be sure to safely remove the device before starting the update.

You know how to get into recovery to update the firmware? Hold down the volume down button while starting your device. After a while a white screen should appear with your recovery menu. When that happens let go of the volume down button. Navigate with volume down-up and power to select.

[General Questions and Answers] xNavyblue:
I use an Android phone. I got an iPad, in the end it is just a big iPod Touch to me and not much more. I gave it to my wife who use it as an e-reader. I got a netbook instead and installed Ubuntu in it, now I have a real portable computer instead of a computer wannabe. Battery life is good enough and easily beat any smartphone out there in continuous use.
[General Questions and Answers] jacobgong:
I mean yea the iPad is a big iPod touch. But the idea is that, that is just what it is, and the fact that it is big alone is enough reason to get it.

I can also see how the Honeycomb OS is more powerful, computer wise, if you want it to be a computer which it really isn't, it's a tablet.

But then, Honeycomb doesn't have the high quality apps the iPad is already filled with. which means less functionality in that sense.
[General Questions and Answers] xNavyblue:
Functionality is what made me gave up iPad. What it can do my Android phone could do it too.

The only pro is battery life which is legendary for a portable.

Of course it all depends on your need, so I suggest you look into what sort of specific function are you looking for.

For me it was web browsing, what I hate about my phone is it can't handle some web pages properly, the iPad is no better, if not worse (no Flash). So YMMV.

But if you just want a tablet and care about look, iPad is the way to go.
[General Questions and Answers] max9777:
Hi

Ok, At first I bought myself the Blackberry Playbook, its multitasking of the new QNX OS is amazing great, battery life is not as promised by blackberry. Than when they made an announcement that Android Apps will be delayed in the merger passed the summer, I exchanged it for a Motorola Xoom, I was never a big fan of Motorola but I will tell you, I love this freaking Tablet, its fast reliable. Only thing I am slightly disappointed is even on a fast wifi. It freezes videos on cnn.com and msn.com( those are the only two I have tried so far.) Youtube plays flawlessly on wifi, I also use the 4G hotspot on my HTC EVO to get the internet anywhere I go.

Battery Life: I have played games on it. to test battery and I will tall you I am happy. I took it to work Played Doodle jump and Fruit Ninja THD on it and I came home with battery still at half full. I do not have my Xoom now since my sister in law decided to steal it, it's been 2 days now and I called her earlier and she told me battery is still halfway full. This girl plays Poker Stars on the thing all day long so I am happy I have a reliable device. I just wish they made better cases for it and the speakers in the front not back.

PS: APPLE SUCKS!! lol.

Primarily I bought the tablet to take it to school and do work on it. If I am doing a PowerPoint presentation and I need to throw it to a PC I do not want to have an IPad in that situation. Because you cant do mass storage transfer. Only way of transferring the file is emailing myself. now if I have a WiFi only IPad that sucks if I have no internet connection to email it. Also if the file is bigger than 10MB you cannot email it to no one unless you separate the file into two or more. Thank you for open source :)

Also im not hating on apple products, I am hating on the people who make the OS which is so strictly locked down by apple.

Sure you can jailbreak, but not everyone knows how to do it, OR some people are to by the book and don't do it. OR they are plain Dumb :)
[General Questions and Answers] Crazy991:
The XOOM is a great tablet, actually. The only downside is that since it's so new, it's native apps are a little glitchy and there aren't many apps for tablets on the Android Market. But both of those will be resolved soon.

Try out a XOOM, they're great.
[General Questions and Answers] eat-this-cake:
I would honestly wait for maybe another 3-4 months- within that time frame there should at least another 3-4 highly competitive Android tablets running Honeycomb and it'll give time for more usage of the tablet version and some updates will be on the way. In fact Honeycomb 3.1 has already been confirmed to be released very soon.
[General Questions and Answers] eat-this-cake:
Good point- Xoom native apps are still little glitchy.

You could even check out the LG G-Slate (branded as the T-Mobile G-Slate). Has 3D (which i don't care for) and it's running very similar hardware to that of the Xoom. Only downside to this one is the cost and the lack of a wifi only version.
[General Questions and Answers] m3t4lw01f:
If you can handle the somewhat buggy Honeycomb on it, I agree. Not that it's bad by any stretch of the imagination, just has a few odd quirks.

Of course, this is xda, so I mean...modding it probably isn't entirely out of the question.

The iPad on the other hand "just works". My only gripe with it is the lack of expandable memory.

The decision really comes down to open vs. closed. If you want a more open device that you can tinker with, the Xoom is it. If you want something that just works, but is locked down pretty tight, the iPad is it.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimbola:
Newb Alert!

Hi I'm currently running stock android 2.2.1 (build 1.72.405.3) on an unbranded DHD in the UK (I'm on Orange if that matters) I'm getting frustrated with the wait for 2.3 to be released here so I want to install the official RUU that was released a little while back.

I understand that to do this my phone will still be "official" ish, and that the only real difference between this way and OTA is that I'll lose my apps etc. which I can handle.

I want to be able to try some custom roms (in the future) but then be able to return the phone to stock - I believe this is possible? Am I better off downgrading

now

and doing S-off / eng-off, clockwork recovery, root etc? Or will I be fine to downgrade from 2.3 to 1.32 in the future to do everything I'll need for custom ROMS?

Or am I a muppet and have things totally wrong?

Any help appreciated,

Grim.

Ps. I've read the sticky in the Development forum, and tried searching the forum to find answers but have found it difficult as the terms I'm searching for are really generic - for this forum at least.:confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Simple answer: Do it NOW!!!

Yes you can always go back to stock.

Much easier to do everything now.

Even if you only do root and S-OFF, you will be protected should the OTA update arrive in the sense that you won't need to downgrade again. But in for a penny and all that, go for the lot now and start exploring the greatness of Android and Sense (if you like that).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
hi grim..

not neccesary you are going to lose your apk´s...

you can install "titanium backup" and do a backup of your apk´s, your system and your data (dialer, missed calls, wifi passwords...on sd-card\titaniumbackup) and then when you has installed your new gingerbread rom you can restore it.

download it from android market..

and finally say to you step by step what should to do:

1ºDOWNGRADE proccess from 1.72xx to 1.32xx wee off. ru

2ºroot with visionary Rxx

3º s-off eng-off+SUPERCID

4ºinstall ROM MANAGER from market and then flash a CWM recovery (lastest)

5ºDOWNLOAD the gingerbread rom, copy, paste to sd card root,

6ºDO FULL WIPE in recovery (factory reset, data, dalvik)

7ºFLASH the new rom and ENJOY:D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimbola:
Hi guys,

Thanks for all the speedy replies! I read them last week, but have only now have the time to reply.

I did it! I downgraded to 1.36 (?) then ran the tool on my pc to do radio S-off then also ran the other tool to Eng S-off - I followed jkoljo's posts (from the sticky roll-up thread over on the development forum). I've now installed the official 2.3. It was a little scary at times, but easy as pie!

The only issue I had was that I don't think I backed up my apps correctly (I used Astro file browser to do it) as they have not all been restored, however this is no great pain!

I'm now thinking that I might try installing a custom ROM, maybe Leedroid? I'm after something that is like the stock rom - i.e. Sense based (at least to start with) but has more bells and whistles - any suggestions are welcome!

Once again many thanks for your replies,

Grim.

Hi all I just rooted with su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip and flashed CW 3.0.2.4 crespo everything went well. When I booted out of CW recovery and am looking for install-recovery.sh in etc file to rename it, it is not there !! I used this method http://jaxov.com/2011/02/how-to-root-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-nexus-s/

Im on GB 2.3.4 on my new NS4G Sprint

With that said I have rebooted twice since into CW and it stuck not going back to original recovery which from everything I read was supposed to happen.

Any suggestions? I am concerened if I have to go back to stock recovery that ill need that file.

When I mounted USB in CW to flash the su zip to my phone , for some odd reason my computer did not recognize the NS as an external storage so i did reboot out of CW , USB mount and placed the su file on my NS and then rebooted back into CW and flashed the su root. Everything seems to be working perfectly
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
Maybe the NS4G doesn't have that script. I think there is one other version, maybe i9020A, that doesn't have it either.

If you ever need to go back to stock recovery, well I guess someone will have to grab the stock recovery image and make it available!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zero383:
Yes, some versions don't have that script like my i9020a so CWM is permanent. I got a stock recovery image from here. Might not work for the 4g since it was dumped from an i9020a.
