[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n311.dunkle:
My Dell passed down from my father is ticking me off. My captivate 2.2 is rooted and TiBu froze the Teth Man 1.0 so I can tether my Laptop wirelessly and my Sony Vaio PC with the usb. No problems there. In comes this Dell, fast and pretty. Installed all the official drivers from Samsung, hooked up my phone, everything was going fine until i checked USB tethering.

As soon as i activate tethering, my phone is no longer recognized by the computer. In device manager everything works fine with the phone in debug. Drivers working properly and all that. Then i check USB tethering and the adb interface disappears, the android usb modem disappears... uncheck and everything goes back to normal. Doesn't happen on the other computers.

Does anyone have any clue what might be going on here? Is there a setting on this Dell I need to change? I'm running Windows XP pro 32 bit if that helps. Does anyone know what driver runs this feature? Because the device manager actually recognizes it as a samsung_android but can't seem to get the right driver to get it functional in tether mode. :(

Please don't send me a link to the Samsung website. Been there done that.

I would suggest you install PDAnet on both android and Dell laptop. PDAnet will install all the necessary drivers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CappyMan:
I have had similar problems.....I just flashed cappy to serendipity and went into settings...wireless and network....tethering. Just plug in the device to the computer and hit tether! Note: you may need to install drivers (kies mini:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n311.dunkle:
Bravo with the PDAnet suggestion. I've also been considering serendipity for some time and kies mini helped out a lot.

Updated problem: got all appropriate drivers with kies mini. Everything went fine. Installed an app called Masked Crusader to help with speed and performance. Ended up screwing up my phone to no end. Uninstalled and got internet function back on my device but am unable to tether. DNS issues. Can't seem to return phone to previous setting. PDAnet got me back online after the Masked Crusader fiasco, but only through usb. Mobile AP appears to be working but I can't connect my iPod, wii, or laptop... all from dns failure. You guys were more than handy getting my dell pc online, then I had to be greedy and screw things up for the hopes of increased upload speeds. Begging for redemption. I will stay on the right path from now on, I swear.

what i do is use mobileap for laptop. Then connectify from laptop to all others. Works perfect.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n311.dunkle:
Mobile ap isn't working for me any more. *sad face* :( The market app called Masqed Crusader screwed it up. Supposedly it only changed my dns from stock to goggle's dns. Unfortunately I think it may have changed other settings too because mobile ap will appear to connect but won't transmit any data. Need to know how to find my original settings so I can try to set it back.

i can vouch for connectify. i use it for home wifi cuz i dont have a wireless modem but i have a wifi antennae in the back of my pc. works perfectly.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Dreaded that answer. To the other posts, yes I tried mobile ap. That's what no longer works. Used to be my favorite thing about this phone. Will try android tether first, then off to reset... *another sad face* :(

I have do the overclocking and scaling part from this guide.

My doubt is whether the titanium backup will back this settings also?? I mean we are changing one file from the system dir and put some new scripts in the system, all these things gets backed up by titanium?
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
actually, next time you could do it more easily with setvsel,

and setvsel and its settings can be backed up via titanium backup.
[Defy Android Development] unrafa:
For me 2ndInit replaces setvsel and cwm recovery. It does everything. It can even make a backup of itself xD
[Defy Android Development] obscurant1st:
But when i use this method, the battery back up is more. I am not sure whether the setvsel does this performance boost only when it is required! can you confirm it??

I say this because I used to use setvsel.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaldreamer7:
Basically I need an E-reader. I'm running out or shelf space for books and was looking at this vs a nook. nook is 250 and I can get one of these from t-mobile for 99 and a small data plan. Im more inclined to do the tab since I travel and could use this all over.

TL:DR does this still have some development life in it or are they getting rid of it pretty much to make room for the 4G?

I tend to use mine as a media player and library, over 500 books on sd card, so I would recommend. Throw in you can use as phone, email and sms, not to mention facebook and twittter and its an awesome little gadget...

Would recommend... :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaldreamer7:
I took the plunge. Got one for 99.00 from t-mobile. The data plan for it is rather cheap.

I'm happy I went this route. This is MUCH more versitile then the nook by far.

I'm not sure I want to root it yet. From what I am reading about the roms, there are few that offer full functionality. I'll wait for the stock update and see where to go from there.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engrkid:
I'm new to the Tab, in fact, my Tab just arrived 2 hours ago. I spent the last 6 months with the nook color and loved it. For me, the nook color's price made sense (and still does) and the dev support is fantastic. With the Tab coming down in price and having hardware that will remain relevant longer than the nook's, it made it easy to justify selling the nook to subsidize the purchase of the Tab. Either way you decide you'll end up with a great device, but my brief interaction with the Tab tells me you may like it better. I surely do.

I have a problem with the stock browser, i can´t use my exchange web access account? I get the login box to enter username and password, but the server refuses to connect. Same with dolphin hd. Firefox and opera mobile browsers work well?

Anyone with the same problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
i doubt it's the stock browser as i was able to connect to an exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 web access with zero issues. it's possible that it could be your owa setup. my buddy, in local law enforcement, was also able to log into his dept's owa account without issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] akkidy:
I can connect to OWA on Exchange 2003 using the default browser without a problem as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] spades:
I have the same problem. It works with Firefox but not with stock. I built the Exchange environment in my company and I know it's properly configured. I can access it on my HTC Sapphire (I know it's old) stock browser.

When I get a chance, I'll check the logs and if I find anything, I'll let you know.
[Acer Iconia A500] GadjetGirl59:
I was having the same problem. I had to contact my IT dept and they gave me good information. It seems that for the outgoing server, I had to put "es8000" in front of the email address such as: es8000.email.xxx. The security type was TLS/authentication and my port was 25. Now these may be different for you but you may need to verify the outgoing specs.
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
Remember, getting it up and running is half the job. When we set ours up, exchange was configured correctly, but the firewalls (both internal and external) caused havok.

Owa does work, I use it daily. If you're sure your exchanges is setup correctly, then you may need to start looking at everything else in between, as something else isn't right
[Acer Iconia A500] spades:
Looks like Windows 2008 doesn't have SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 by default. I found that you just add the appropriate Registry entries. I'll let you know if this works.

Be aware that you will need to disconnect the USB everytime you want to take a pic. You can see pics on your tablet but it won't let you take pictures because the camera goes into USB mode. Just a heads up.

[Xperia Play General] mikesoftwiz:
Ok guys. Just got my Xperia Play 2 days ago. Mastered the iphone os and want to explore the android os. So far my main question is what is rooting and why I should root my phone, what benefits I will have for doing this. On the iphone for example i had free games that usually you have to pay for (don't mind paying) and themes.

I'm looking for users opinions not links on some google searches. that i can do myself.

Also looking forward to get psp games on the play. :-)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
rooting is nothing like jailbreaking, and it has noting to do with warez, people root to gain read/write access to the /system/ directory on there device, this allows them to run apps that wouldnt ususally work on there device, it also lets them remove bloatware (preinstalled applications) and theme there android, rooting is usually a precursor to flashing custom roms too :)
[Xperia Play General] danieljamie:
I also am very new to android but am learning fast.

I've rooted my Play (Used gingerbreak, DEAD EASY!!)

I've paid for the full launcherPro, and also placed a request on their forum for the feature of locking the phone when you slide the phone closed.

However, I have NEVER used a custom ROM, and I am very skeptical. I had a Samsung Omnia HD i8910 with Symbian, and I flashed new firmwares to this because Orange just didn't update the damn thing so I unbranded it.

I have also removed some bloatware with a file manager app (plenty around) whilst having root access.

I also have app2sd to move apps to SD, but I have to admit only a handful have gone on to it. I have not yet done the adb command to default all future apps to SD.

I am keeping a close watch on this forum for any sign of updates/upgrades/custom ROMs. I like the idea of new themes and faster phone, but I would hate to lose ANY of the original functionality, I would feel robbed.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
This is my first android phone too. Was unsure about rooting at first but im glad i did. After rooting with gingerbreak (took like 40 seconds) I installed titanium backup (no need for apps2sd, the phone itself can put apps on the sd and the stuff the phone cannot move, Titanium backup can e.g The preloaded games, now under 1mb instead of 30mb). Removed all the crap from the phone using the safe apps to remove thread. The phone now runs faster loads more ram.

If i was to give a reason to root. It would be adfree from the market. Best app ever. Hated ads on the free apps and i have not got a credit card to use on the market (yet lol)

Its seems though if you update to 2.3.3 you cannot root anymore. Google has fixed the exploit used by gingerbreak.

[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
iPhone jailbreaking allows you to run custom software (kinda like homebrew emulators and such) not originally designed to work on the iphone.

Rooting as mentioned above is not this.

Custom software can run on Android phones without the need to root. All those emulators etc will work on any Stock Android phone.

Android phones give you read/write access to sd card directories. Rooting basically gives you root (phone memory) read/write access.

This is useful because it allows you to install custom roms on your phone (sort of like customised versions of the operating system), get rid of bloatware (for example, i deleted all my vodafone pre-installed software which was basically crap) and more excitingly overclock your phone.

Installing new roms and overclocking will require extensive programming knowledge, but luckily the guru's on xda normally produce their own versions which us mere mortals can download and use.

No custom Roms or the ability to overclock the Xperia Play has to my knowledge been released to us yet. YET.

For now, root your phone, install titanium, get rid of bloatware, partition your sd card, and move all your games to your sd card to free up as much phone memory as possible.

Change your sd card cache size to 1024 to improve phone speed.

And wait for the custom rom and overclocking goodness that im sure will be available within the next few months.

Hope this post helped, i too was a complete noob and just picked a few things up along the way from reading here and there :)

edit - Rooting is safe for a noob to do. Other stuff such as installing roms can brick your phone rendering it useless if you do not know what you are doing. READ THOROUGHLY before you do anythingslightly advanced. And sorry to say, but there are no psp emulators that i know of. You will not be able to play PsP games. Sucks, i know :(
[Xperia Play General] AriStar:
do i need to partition to move stuff to SD? i already did without partitioning....
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
You can move unmovable apps to the sd card by using link2sd, which will only work if you partition your sd card.

There might be other ways, such as manual commands, but i've never tried that way.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
How do you partition the sd card? i'm rooted and using app2sd, just not sure on the partition part?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Link2sd is diffrent, it moves the .apk's to an sd-ext, then creates a symlink. :)
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Sorry, thats what I meant, If I want to use link2sd how do I partition my sd card for a 2nd partition?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Just make a 2nd partition using gpated, i think it has to be ext2 or ext3
[Xperia Play General] AriStar:
i used titanium backup to do it, no partition done... all games seem to be working fine.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
What are you talking about? I just thought it was funny how they call it gingerbrake but it is not jailbrake. You people have no sense of humor at all.

I do contribute here and androidforums. Gee you people need a valium or something.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Thanks for saying this. I have been using titanium for a while but never knew it could move un-movable apps to the sd card.

The way i found out how to do it was batch moving in the menu you bring up with the menu button.

Appswap (paid version only) claims that it is the only program on the market that can do this. But know i know different !

Thanks :)
[Xperia Play General] AriStar:
i just long hold the app and click "move to sd"

ok. so far i've got some themes, got emulators:n64 doesn't work, sega emulator work perfect, rooted the phone, but i don't really understand how to partition the card. A thing that i've found a bit annoying is how the call log works. instead of showing one number and how many calls were made, it makes a huge list of the same number. any suggestions about that? thanks.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Yea, as i found out recently, no need to partition.

Just use Titanium Backup to move unmovable apps to sd card.
