Same here as well, I have not used tethering before until now and wanted to see if I could get it to work as I will be away in a few weeks with no internet access for my laptop so wanted to try and get this running.

As said above got the laptop to see and connect to the phone, but wont let me have internet. Not tried doing it via usb yet as wanted to try it wireless.

Any ideas anyone? (by the way running lite'ning rom as well 5.2)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FvanLog:
Just had a peek at the Revolution ROM page, and noticed that you need to update the file system to ext4. A few questions surrounding this:

1) Which filing system is the DHD running at the moment?

2) Any advantages worth mentioning if you run ext4 on your device?

3) If I change to ext4, will stock ROMs still run? This one obviously goes for reloading my current backup if something goes wrong - guessing this is a no.

4) Is it possible to revert to the previous file system?

5) What are the chances of bricking my DHD if I do this?

DHD has been rooted, S-Off, etc. Ran CyanogenMod for a while, flashed a few other ROMs in the meantime, so the basics are done, risks understood. Haven't done a file system change before, though, so I'd like to know before diving in head-first.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
1) The standard filesystem is ext3

2) There's quite a lot, google it if you want to know all the details. Practically you wont notice much difference, maybe a bit faster etc. It's just newer and more optimized.

3 & 4) ext4 is just a filesystem, it can always be changed by formatting.

5) Practically none
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
you say you ran CM for a while, if perchance this was CM7 then you already have experience of running an ext4 files system

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elykoj:
i thought i was having an issue with my GPS , but maybe i am not. Here are my settings and i have question on the actual symbol in status bar.In phone settings i have google and gps checked. in pull down i have gps on.

what do these symbols mean?

when gps is checked off in notification, it shows a circle like with a cross in middle

when it is checked on,its same symbol but has the 3 lines to the right of symbol(does this mean its on, but not active?)

and then when i open maps or anything requireing gps, the symbol changing to a little satelite looking symbol that flips and activates.

so i gues i am confused by the first 2 symbols, do either mean active or just in use?:confused:
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrex:
The first symbol is e911, it will always be there, the 3 lines are there showing other services are on such as google and/or verizon, the satellite flashing is the actual internal gps trying to lock on to your location. (you will see the satellite flash until it gets a lock) The gps symbol should not show unless you are using an app or some sort of navigation such as maps which activates the internal gps! hope this helps... Rock on \m/
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elykoj:
So the 3 lines means the gps is not running then? or the 3 lines basically mean my mobile data is on? which it should be unless i turn the data off ? i just didnt want the gps running constantly and was confused by the icons. please clarify further..thanks:o
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrex:
The 3 lines will show if stand alone gps, google location services, or verizon location services are enabled under settings - location & security. (Though most ppl leave the location services off unless needed I leave mine on) Gps (even though it is enabled in the menu) should not be active until you see the satellite symbol flashing or constant in the status bar at the top of your screen. Your mobile data is the symbol that says 3g/1x, if you turn off mobile data that symbol will no longer be in the status bar at the top of your screen. I hope that made sense cause I'm swyping this out on my phone :-)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elykoj:
SO IF...

so if my symbol is showing with the lines, am i draining battery ?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyazz:
If any of the services are running you using battery. How much depends on which service is running.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elykoj:
so if....?

so if i just have the gps stand alone servive checked in settings, and the icon shows with the lines, but i dont have anything that is using the gps, am i still using battery then? and even if the google gps was checked , what service would actually be using it ?:confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperTheMando:
If you thought that rooting could wipe all data then I really really strongly urge you not to root.

Rootng isn't for everyone (certainly not for me... yet).

If you really have your heart set on rooting, please wait for it to be easier and with less risk.

My first Android was the DHD, and I rooted it pretty much the same week I got it, back when it was hard and complicated and took many steps.

I didn't even know *why* to root. Then I got mixed up in flashing and radios and this and that and CID and now I'm kinda glad someone stole it.

Please rethink why you want to root, and what you will gain from it, and assess that against the risks. At least wait until there is an app on the market that does it simply safely and quickly.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K1rilas:
Some of you bought PAYG samsung galaxy s2 on time in O2 store before they ran out of stock. Some of those phones were unlocked some of not. I was wondering what O2 agreement policy says about unlocking the network.. They claim that with PAYG they provide this service for 15£ after a year..However, theoretically when you unlock the phone to other networks warranty should not disappear as samsung provides it for phone, not network. I've asked O2 staff and they said that it does void warranty. My question, will it really void the warranty or they just say that to make customers use their network?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanwray:
These companies make me laugh, and I had to explain the finer points of commerce and equity along with LAW to an o2 woman over the phone when she said there is a limited warranty.

The fact is a companies warranty is not what you should look at if/when something goes wrong through reasonable use. Now, reasonable use is like for the purposes and expected usages (not flashing in odin ;) ) Neways, these companies always cave if within 2 years (not sure maybe 1 for mobiles) it does not suit the purpose you believed and as advertised and in the resulting good faith you purchased it for said intended use it does not perform. Hang on, that sounded lame....

If within 2 years it fails from normal use, sod warranty, under LAW and Statues and Legislation that make up CPA and SOGA (sale of goods act) the dude that sold you it is lawfully responsable for making things right. So ppl that go after these 6month warranties are bound to loose, approach them with a little bit of LAW and asking them to put their denial in writing to you, stating that it's their response to what you said is a killa...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanwray:
ooo and also note that LAW forced them to put at the end of every so called contract that claims to only provide 1 year warranty on something like a microwave the wicked words that cancel all of what they just said

THIS DOES NOT ALTER YOU STATUTORY RIGHTS lol

Edit:

Take none of what I have said as legal advice, it's intended for humour and information only. Always do your research! ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanwray:
ooo, Update, during that conversation I had with o2, I indicated a "need and expectation" to test the s2 with another sim to see if some mms problems I was having was the phone or the network settings, I received my unlock code this morning FOC :)

No longer using the O2 sim take it out return to store sorry i lost my sim , you could even buy a new sim on ebay .

Flashed none O2 software and O2 reject warranty Samsung will still cover warranty with a stock Samsung rom ..

Rooted = warranty null and void from retailer and Samsung .

In UK law anyway its the retailer not Samsung that is responsible to the purchaser for any warranty .

I don't want to be on GB, I want the most recent update that was let out over OTA.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomlyWatts:
The most recent update has issues, actually, far more than the Gingerbread leak. Random reboots are a very prevalent issue. If you aren't rooted, and you don't want to install a ROM and just install that software, simply check for an update under your settings menu.

If you are rooted, you need to look more into flashing a ROM, and what goes along with the process. Almost all ROM's released have root access, so that isn't an issue.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
ALL roms have root access since you have to be rooted to flash a rom... and the Random reboots are only an issue with the newest ginergerbread radio and gingerbread roms becuase they are an ALPHA release and arent stable yet. if you want the latest software and radio without GB then do the first update from this list --> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13093559&postcount=1 and install a custom rom that is based of the newest software update (1.13.605.7) such as das bamf 1.6.3. if you want a more stock look then install one closer to stock. heres a list for you to look around --> http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo...-thunderbolt-roms-list-updated-5-16-11-a.html easiest way to install a rom is with rom manager from the market and install from sd card. hope this helps :D i remember struggling with this stuff so i know it can be frustrating.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0ncept:
Alright, I'm running a stock Captivate I've had since January. I've been progressively running into more and more issues to the point that I'm very unsatisfied with my phone right now. I did update to official Froyo 2.2 when it was released earlier this year, although I didn't notice much improvement.

Here is a list of problems I've been experiencing.

- Battery life is awful. Just normal use throughout the day with EVERYTHING turned off (GPS, Wi-Fi, sync, brightness on lowest, no live wallpaper) I can expect my battery to be well under 20% by the time I'm getting ready for bed.

- The UI has been getting increasingly slower as time goes by. Web pages are especially frustrating. Loading an average webpage without too many images or anything else is incredibly slow. Just moving the page around results in constant freezes and is extremely sluggish. I should note that I'm using SkyFire since it seems to have the best performance of any browser I've used.

- Occasionally (and increasingly commonly), my phone will go into standby (black screen) and simply refuse to come back on for 60 seconds or more. Today, my phone was completely unusable for over 10 minutes because of this. It would occasionally light up but be unusable and then go black again. Very frustrating.

- I tried out Advanced Task Killer without much improvement. In fact, I'm almost convinced that it slows it down even more. It reports that I usually have anywhere from 60 - 150 MB free. Usually somewhere in the middle.

- GPS is not good at all. It's laggy and often display me being on a completely different street than I'm on, even with strong signal.

- Sometimes the camera will get stuck in camera mode and refuse to exit. Sometimes it will allow me to reboot to get out of it, other times I have to take the battery out.

A couple months ago I tried my hand at rooting and loading a custom ROM. I was able to get SuperUser and the application I used (I think it was Super One Click, which said it was successful), but nothing seemed to recognize that my phone was rooted and my progress was halted there. I still have SuperUser. So yes, I still have AT&T bloatware installed, unfortunately.

So, if anyone could offer me some advice on how to improve this phone, I'd be forever grateful. I swear, I feel like my old iPhone 3g was smoother and much less buggy than this phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longr6:
The stock rom on the phone does not even come close to what the Captivate is capable of. Go to the developer section of the Captivate forum and read read read. Everything you need is right there. You can get some great roms for your phone that will make it rock. I would recommend that you practice with the other 2.2 roms before you flash to 2.3. Also paying the $8 for a JIG for a foolproof method to get into download mode is a good investment. Warning, flashing custom roms can become very addicting and can lead to complete awesomeness of your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
You can solve ALL those problems by installing one of the fine custom roms available on the development forum. There are many excellent custom roms. I would suggest you choose a 2.2 or 2.2.1 rom, not 2.3.3 since all the gingerbread roms are still in beta, and require the risk of flashing different bootloaders. Forget about task killers, you won't need one.

Just be sure to read, read, read before you flash. Make sure you understand exactly what you are doing, and you will be fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0ncept:
Thanks for the quick replies, guys. I'm gonna try to flash it if I'll see that much of a performance boost. I just wonder why Samsung/AT&T can't seem to offer their phones with the best performance possible, rather than forcing their users to do it on their own. Seems like I read something to do with agreements and whatnot causing this.

Either way, thanks for the posts. Does anyone have a recommendation for a simple to install ROM that will give me a nice performance boost?

Off to development I go...

I've had my phone for 2 months now with stock everything but rooted and with OCLF, but getting a kernel with ext 4 lag fix was a night and day difference compared to ext 2. UI just became so much smoother and more responsive. Wake up lag is greatly reduced/occurs much less frequently and to a less significant extent.

I do have much crappier battery life with the new kernel though. I 'm hoping a battery calibration would fix this since I messed up when modding something and was stuck in a reboot loop and had to do several battery pulls but that's off topic.
