Sigh... I rooted my Evo few days ago in preparation for getting the tranformer with the goal to tether them via Bluetooth. Rooted the Evo and installed Wireless Tether and test running it (and it seeemed to be working, I was happy).

Transformer arrived yesterday and I have been trying since to get it working.

BT tether does not work (Can never get the wrench icon to show the BT PAN Tethering) - I still use the stock Sprint ROM btw. I was thinking to install custom ROM today (CM7) but some of you have tried and it does not seem to work either.

The Wifi tether also seemed to work, the Transformer recognized it and get the IP and connected, but then when you browse from the transformer, nothing comes out..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CoolWaters:
Wifi tether on CM7 + Evo works and works well. Use the one in settings with CM7, not the Wifi Tether app.

Bluetooth is still borked for my Evo + Transformer tethering.

I was able to get wireless tether 3.01 to work on stock froyo on a droid x, not able to get it to run on gingerbread I dont know why...no bluetooth configuring or anything like that but i am rooted....now if i could ge this to work on gingerbread then id be a happy camper..if you use it then please state version of GB you got tyvm
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seeingwhite:
I am running the Synergy Rom for EVO (collaboration of myn + Virus + others) and can confirm that you cannot tether with BT to the transformer using Wireless Tether.

Tether not transmitting data

I've paired, connected, and "tethered" my TF to my OG Droid, It says that its connected and using bluetooth for internet, however, when i try to browse the web or load my e-mail inbox it says I have no connection.

I've got the nice big Bluetooth Tether logo in the notification bar, my DROID says its connected as does my TF, and yet no data is being sent back and forth.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mysticc:
With "PDANet Tablet" it is possible to Tether via BT.

No root needed.

Tried before with Wireless Tether for Root Users (HTC Desire rooted with latest Leedroid and Transformer with Modaco rooted) - no way -paired but no conection.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ahornby:
Autotether in the market works for me

I installed autotether from market. Server install on my galaxy S. Client install on my ASUS transformer. Makes tethering the Galaxy S 3G a breeze - can initiate tether from the tablet without touching the phone.

Hope that helps someone.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] aarofloyd:
Ok so I'll give this a shot since nobody seems to be replying...hopefully I can help you guys out!

There is on more little trick that you need to do once you get the phone connected if you are not able actually use the internet connection.

From your transformer, on the bluetooth settings screen, click the little wrench on the right hand side (it will be on the same line that your phone is on). On that screen, there should be a little checkbox that says something like, 'use tether for internet connection' or something to that effect. Check that box and that should get the data flowing! (I apologize if the wording is not exactly correct, as I am at work and do not have my transformer with me!)

I will update tonight when I am home and make the necessary corrections.

Let me know if this helps! Good Luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DilloDroid:
I am also wondering which version froyo or GB people are running on the phone. I'm not able to tether Bluetooth to my TF either. I'm also not able to use PDA net either since GB. I read on another site there is something in GB to prevent it and or notify when a tether situation is noted.

Myself I'm about to go back to rooted Froyo. Haven't seen that much difference in any of the changes or when I used a custom Rom. I'm just going to freeze the bloat and get back to basics. IMO
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dorkington:
Figured I'd post this here.

For iPhone MiWi Users:

1. iPhone - Bluetooth off (Settings app, not SBSettings)

2. TF - Bluetooth off

3. iPhone - Bluetooth on (settings app, again)

3. TF - Bluetooth on - Pair with iPhone - set option for Internet access

4. iPhone - MyWi turn Bluetooth tether on

5. TF - Connect to iPhone

Steps 1 and 2 are only necessary if it doesn't connect in the first place.

Hope this helps anyone who is having tethering problems with their iPhone and TF. :) I'm using this because the TF cannot connect to adhoc networks by default.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeLopez:
Are you getting all my check points in the OP?

Is the bluetooth icon on the TF changed to bluetooth+2 arrows?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeLopez:
I am and have been using gingerbread since it came out. I am now on version 2.3.4.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vicci:
I have OG Droid and can confirm, bluetooth tethering work with my transformer with no issues
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeLopez:
Good, how's the battery life. Mine is great.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spd2Last:
Are you using any modified bluetooth stacks for either device? I can't even get my transformer (running Prime 1.4 no OC) to connect to my iphone 4 (running 4.3.3 jb). I was able to pair it once, but I removed the pairing to try again and I haven't been able to pair them since. The one time that I did pair them, when I would try to connect, the iphone would pop up with something like "This bluetooth device is not supported". So I've just been using the wifi hotspot method on mywi...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jateelover:
It would be sweet to figure out how to make this happen automatically with Tasker. I use MIUI on my mytouch 4g now, and i am going to see if i can come up with a script tonight to make it automatically connect. I know there is an app someone developed on here that looks awesome, but since MIUI has changed the settings, it won't work...there must be a way with tasker for it to detect the transformer and share the data connection
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigNerdBlog:
I have issues too... I can pair but I can't connect.

It would connect for a micro-second but then it just reverts back to "Paired but not connected".

I thought it was the TF BT but I can connect with other devices and the iPhone can connect with a BT headset and my car's BT system.

I only have MyWi 4.5x... I read you need MyWi 4.6 in order to do infrastructure WiFi.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spd2Last:
Yeah I use MyWi 4.6's infrastructure mode. I've seen in other posts on this forum that there's an ad-hoc wifi file going around that will allow the transformer to connect to ad-hoc networks. Maybe you could give that a try to connect to MyWi 4.5.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DilloDroid:
Was having the same problems using wireless tether ....used a few different versions I got PDA net 3.0 (I've been using it off and on for my wired USB connection to my computer when away from wfi since I had a windows 6 mobile phone :eek: and then my droid)..

Connected so easily Bluetooth to my TF

Why fight it? if one app doesn't work for you try, try another

Dunno what's going on. :(

Edit: I deleted/reinstalled MyWi and reset the settings, and the problem cleared up. Maybe try that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wricks:
Just tried the directions from the OP and thought it would turn out like so many of the attemps I've made to tether my rooted Droid to the TF = epic fail!

Not in this case! I have an rooted OG Droid running SSGB 5.4 (thanks Chevy), wireless tether app from the market v2.0.8-pre1 ***EXPERIMENTAL***, and a stock (for now) Asus TF101. Followed the directions to the letter and viola - internet access on the go!

Many props to the OP.

[Desire General] TheJunniZ:
Hello guys, iam a danish. My english isn't perfekt, and i hope you guys can understand. I was flash'ing a new ROM into my HTC Desire, it's called MIUI, you guys probably heard about it. I made a backup just before i flash'ed the ROM. It's was going well, but i thought that it was the english version. ( Iam not good at chinese)

I downloaded the english language pack, then i tried to flash the language pack. It crashed i think. So i tried to flash my backup, but it says "no files". I have nothing to flash now, but MIUI. AND MIUI keep crashing, when i try flash'ing it, it just keep load and then black, load and then black and so on. It can't boot! I just want my phone working again, but how?
[Thunderbolt General] Yufice:
Does it only boot up to the HTC screen and bootloop? Basically what I'm asking is, can Verizon Wireless tell if the phone is rooted or not? ;]
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Yes.
[Thunderbolt General] Yufice:
So if I get someone stupid at the store, if they miss it and hand me a new device, I'm in the clear? And if I do it via mail, and I get the replacement before I mail my device in, how do they protect themselves that way?

edit: Take out the pronouns and add "one". I'm more interested for curiosity's sake, not frauding out VZW, I already went back to froyo, ha.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
I don't know how they would know, but I believe they can, I think you may get a new/refurb but may see a charge for your bricked phone.
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
I can see it now... all these people turning in bricked phones for replacements under warranty.

Next thing you know Verizon will be checking every single phone returned to make sure there was no "tampering" that will void the mfg warranties.
[Thunderbolt General] Yufice:
Verizon employees are just regular people with regular 10$/hour jobs. The technicians aren't any sort of certified or even necessarily technologically inclined (not that they should be, they're not professionals with careers, they're working for an hourly paycheck). Hiring skilled technicians for these jobs would cost WAY too much dough so I dunno how they could feasibly do it.
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
I see what you did there.

-sent via 1.21 giggawatts of android.
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
Let's see, most of the people on here are just "regular" people as well. You don't think that if Verizon wanted to, they could not write up a simple script for any employee to follow to check obvious tampering (i.e booting into hboot and checking for s-off?)

I mean, sure they wouldn't catch all of them, but don't you think they would catch some? Not that they would do it, but I'm sure they keep track of what goes on over here in no-no land (at least for Verizon).

Let's face it, trying to get around the "system" is what causes cell phone companies to keep trying to lock us down. When it starts to affect their bottom line, don't you think they may take some steps to mitigate the problem?

Just my two cents.
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
At least one reported bootlooping in hboot also so not sure if it's long enough to see S-OFF. Another said he was able to get into hboot and flash stock firmware and S-ON but it wouldn't boot and stock recovery bootloop'd everytime it was accessed.
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
The bootloop itself would be a red flag. Employees in stores would not have to do anything but note: bootloop issue.

Since the phone is tied to you, maybe they send phones exhibiting the issue to a special group of (trained) techs, who will go into more indepth diagnostics.

If it is obvious the phone was rooted (not saying they can tell or not), 1 month later you see a charge for 500 bucks for a phone!

Yikes!

Again, just my two cents.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
At least someone did.

Verizon can't tell. Well they probably could if they wanted to but the time it would take to check the amount of phones they receive every day because of warranty replacements would not be worth it.

If I were you I would call and get a replacement the people on the phone just have you battery pull and try again then ship you a new one.

Finally, in the time it would take to tell that 1 phone was rooted they could have probably fixed 50 phones at that point and would void out any money they could charge you.

If it makes you feel better, I sent in a Droid 2 that was rooted and could still boot, got a new one with no charges.
[Thunderbolt General] Yufice:
I know this community is just "Regular" people, that's why I used the word regular; you have tons of arrogant posts of people saying "omg the verizon guy didn't even know what a kernel wuz!@!!!" when the verizon guy has no reason to care.

The problem is a lot of people in our community overestimate verizon/other carriers. Working at a verizon store, i've seen many of my less honest co workers do a warranty exchange over the phone/mail just because they didn't like the scratches they had put on the phone. A simple call to warranty saying "my phone reboots into a white screen sometimes" would get a new phone once every few months (up until the end of the one year warranty). Watching that go down really really really makes me doubt that there is some tech booting into HBOOT making sure it says S-ON. Even with a script, it's still a bunch of high school kids playing with a corporate giant's bank account: if they decide not to care and just give you a replacement, it doesn't effect them at all. I'm just curious if anyone working in a tech center can confirm that there is some second level testing going on.
[Thunderbolt General] Yufice:
This is just wrong. When someone comes up with a phone with a problem, the procedure is pretty short:

pull battery.

Check settings.

Factory Reset.

RSD Lite is no where near our dell computers. There are no fancy screwdrivers with fancy technicians. I check settings and see if there is anything out of the ordinary.

If the phone is bootlooping/white screen/otherwise inoperable there are two choices:

1) Pull the battery. If there is no water damage, try to turn it on. If it doesn't work, tell them to call 1-800-922-0204 and talk to Verizon Customer Service

2) Pull the battery. If there is water damage or obviously physical damage, call Asurian and give them 99 bucks for a new phone. That's it.

What I was asking was am I the last link in the chain? Or is someone double checking my "work"?
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
This was me...as a last resort I used the first two files in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009423 and when I flashed the second file I did not receive the secitury warning so I'm taking it as the first one flashed.

When done flashing the frist two files in that thread my hboot version was S-ON
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
Ya, I see what you are saying.

This is my take on this. I've had an Android device since day 1 when I got my G1. All of the phones I had got rooted at some point.

In the "early" days, you had more, shall we say for a lack of a better term... technically advanced people rooting devices.

Fast forward a bit...many "regular" people are wanting to root, seeing all the benefits that the "chosen" few have been enjoying since rooting was possible.

As a community, we accommodated these "regular" people by creating a Staples "that was easy button", in the meantime, the Android user base is growing by leaps and bounds.

Fast forward to now...technology has changed, the OS has become more sophisticated. Companies see the huge profitability in Android, so they want to hold on tightly to their treasure (locked bootloaders, etc). So now the "easy" button, is not as easy to push anymore, yet us "regular" people still want the "easy" button..."Why can't I just do a one click method???!!!!"

As Android continues to grow and get a larger base of users, there is becoming more and more exposure to the "dark side" of rooting devices for customization. Now although it sounds like things may be changing here in the future as far as how easy it may become to build customizations, at this time, it is still kind of a no no, in the eyes of corporate America. That being said, sure right now Corp America is not too concerned, but as the user base grows, it is possible that the economy of scales may tip the other direction.

Ok, stepping off my soap box now, LOL

All I know is that MANY people here (XDA) are talking about committing fraud.... Then the SAME PEOPLE complain about encrypted bootloaders.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SpinningHook:
What's the latest stable release? I have tried searching for an answer, but couldn't seem to find any recent info. I am currently running Broodcomb 3,and as much as I like it, I am intrigued by the amount of customization and speed that Liberty supposedly has. Thanks for info in advance.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SpinningHook:
Also, with 4.5.596 just on the horizon, is it worth waiting for devs to have their way with it? I know that it might end up taking a while for it to be rooted, but I am also wondering if it will end up being more stable/accessible than all the leaked versions.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] sfreemanoh:
The latest version of Liberty GB is .5, but I believe it's only for .591, not .595. Also, .5 runs really good, very smooth, fast, and almost no issues that I've seen (it hard froze once on me, requiring a battery pull, but that's been it). However...there are almost no themes for it yet. I'm hoping once the OTA is out and we get the final GB release, and an updated LB release for it, more themes will be created or ported for it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SpinningHook:
Word. Thanks.

I think that I will download 4.5. 596 and hang on to it until it's been rooted and just keep my current setup until there's some decent roms available for it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tuskuno:
Hi there, xda people!

I need some help with my decision. I'm looking for a smartphone with a big screen, Wi-Fi, 3G, good camera and a nice design. both of them are ok for my needs and the price doesn't matter. So wonder if you guys, the experts can tell me what the benefits of WP7 are and those of Android. And also: Xperia X10 in Black or in White

What also matters is the compatibility with a Mac and if the device is upgradeable easily and without hacking it.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Wp7 doesn't have many apps at all, and is pretty bland IMO.

It isn't very Customizeable, and for me would be boring only having one homescreen.

You could put android on the hd7 though, so it doesn't have to be a wp7 vs. Android debate
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
I have an X10i and my wife has the HD7, feel to ask away.

Just a few quick points...

In regards to hardware...

The HD7 feels *much* slimmer but I think it's kind of awkward. I think the curvature of the X10 makes holding the phone nicer. The HD7's curvature is all wrong.

The camera is much nicer on the X10 but a shame that there's no led flash.

The screens are about the same (obviously, HD7 is larger) but I prefer mine as the resolution is higher. But if you're going to use netflix, the HD7 is nice.

The HD7 has a far better touch digitizer.

Software...

You're going to get more Android bias by posting here. If you want to compare stock vs stock, the HD7 is better. No lag, no stutters, no random freezes for 5 seconds (also, not any room for customizing besides the order of your tiles). A lot of common apps I use on my X10, I've begun seeing on the wp7 app marketplace. If you can live without some apps then you would probably be ok for now. WP7 marketplace is nowhere near the size of Android's, but there's a lot less crap software to wade through too.

But with the X10 getting 2.3, I *hope* it changes (and the HD7 getting Mango in the fall). And if you decide to run a different rom, well, then it gets into a whole different scope of discussion.

Upgrade...

As far as upgrading any of those phone on a mac... You can't with the X10. MS has software to do it for the HD7. To upgrade the X10 on a mac you would need to use bootcamp... i'm not sure if there's a flash tool program to load roms for the X10 on the mac (maybe someone who works with macs can chime in here).

Thanks for the insight. Does your

wife use alot of google services? Im interested in gmail, reader and gcal
[XPERIA X10 General] ToanDC:
I had used HD2 from HTC for a while, and I honestly have to say I don't like WM much, the OS is slow and freeze sometimes.

I switched to HTC Aria (AT&T) few months ago and everything is great!, Android is much better with free apps and the ease to customize anything you like.

I upgraded to X10 today, and still looking for some ways to unlock it, my cell is AT&T.
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
Of those, I know she uses gmail. WP7 works perfectly with it. I'll check it out later - see how the search works with it (and labels, etc).

She doesn't use google reader but I think there are a couple apps that work with it.

I know she uses a calendar service on her phone but i'm not sure if it's google's or live's calendar. I'll check it out this afternoon but I think it works pretty good with google's calendar. From what I read, if you put something in on wp7, it sets it as an invite and not event. There's a setting on the web based google calendar to display invites.

There is a google maps app that someone made. It works ok, it shows traffic and all the basic stuff. Unfortunately no real navigation option yet.

eizonuts, I'm guessing the OP is on T-Mobile USA. The HD7 and X10i both work on TMO's AWS spectrum.

It's really hard to recommend one over the other not knowing what the OP is looking for software-wise in a phone. Not to mention that the X10 receiving 2.3 in the next month is huge (well, hopefully).
[XPERIA X10 General] chiewable:
Thanks for the insight.

Im asking because I'm eligable for a hardware upgrade soon and I'm trying to swap my x10 for a win7 handset for a extended trial run.

Once I pick a platform I'll use my upgrade on a top end handset for that os

[Desire HD General] Biffa:
I can't help you remotely, but you are better printing off a guide and doing it that way.

Biggest issue is what version you are currently running, if its not 1.32 then you will have to downgrade before you can root the device. Thread here on downgrading: [GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6

Once you are on the right base you can get root I used this guide and it was easy as following written instructions :) [GUIDE]How to flash a ROM onto your DESIRE HD [COMPLETE]
