[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DroidHam:
I know with my Xoom I had to flash a patch to get it to connect to my tethered Thunderbolt, is it possible to use the Galaxy yet? Or is there a patch? I saw one for ADHOC in the 10.1v forums but wasnt sure if it worked for 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mrnicotra:
Yes it does. Try it out. Don't forget to turn on airplane mode before following the procedure.

On a side note you might want to post this in the Q&A section, not development section. Especially since one week ago I posted a topic saying that it does in fact work - l2 search before posting.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 00r101:
Some people say that if you have the latest version of WiFi Tether on your phone that the Tab should see it. So try that first. However, my tab could not see it so i had to do things the old fashioned way.

If you are in the same boat then you need to replace wpa_supplicant which is in system/bin with the one from the xoom (search for it, there's a link to it somewhere in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums. that's because the Tab's wifi driver filters out Ad Hoc wifi servers (which your phone is). You will need Root Explorer or some other file manager for root users. Here is a quickie tutorial

0) make sure your tab has regular wifi access before you start this process

1) Get the wpa_supplicant file from this thread (look at the bottom of the first post)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1083182&highlight=wpa_supplicant

2) Unzip the file and get the wpa_supplicant file which is in \system\bin of the zip

3) On your phone go to \system\bin using Root Explorer and copy it to somewhere on your SD Card.

4) Copy the new wpa_supplicant file that you unzipped in step 2 to a folder on your tab's sd card

5) Turn on R/W access in Root Explorer

6) Replace the wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin with the new one

7) Final step VERY IMPORTANT - change the permissions on /system/bin/wpa_supplicant to be rwe

8) Reboot tab

9) Verify that you still have traditional wifi access

10) Turn on WiFi tether on your phone

11) Go into wifi settings in setup and see if your tab can now see Android Tether

This seems like a pain.. mine worked out of the box. Granted, I have a custom rom on my galaxy S (ATT Captivate).. using the built in Mobile AP in the settings. No external app required...

An access point is an access point (whether it is your phone or your router), why would the GT not connect to any access point?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GuestK003:
I can tether with my captivate.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sandelb:
Because an access point is not an access point. There is a big difference between ad-hoc and infrastructure mode. Android won't connect to an ad-hoc network. And my OG Droid along with other, older Android phones won't do infrastructure right out of the box.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jvanbrecht:
Last I checked, while Access points do have support for Ad-Hoc, that is not the primary purpose of an AP. Ad-Hoc is generally a non service providing device to device.

An Access point by its very nature of being an AP does so in infrastructure mode. I do realize that I may have jumped the gun as many of the older devices do not support functioning as a true AP, rather an ad hoc network with a proxy running in the background to proxy data.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 00r101:
Yes, it is a pain. But if you are using certain older phones (Android 2.2 or older) that do not provide infrastructure wifi then you are forced to make the Tab recognize ad hoc and out of the box the Galaxy Tab 10.1 does not.

I am glad for you and others who have had it easy. I suggest that people try to wifi tether the easy way first, without changing wpa_supplicant. But it is a method of last resort which is better than nothing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] total noob:
Windows Phone to tether 10.1

So from what I'm reading on the forums, it seems most of you have android phones and are using them to tether to the 10.1 after rooting. I have a crappy windows HTC HD2, it has wifi router on it, but like everyone else the tab does not recognize it. I was hoping that this WiFi Tether thing, I assume it's an app? Will work if I get it. Any experience trying to accomplish this and give me the warm fuzzy if I happen to pursue installing and going through the root process that is already posted, that it will work? I'd much rather try getting this WiFi Tether thing than go through and root the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BlackOtaku:
Wi-Fi Tether is an Android app for phones, so I don't think it'll help you unless you put the Android ROM on your HD2. So you're gonna have to root and follow the directions posted to get it to work.

Use Barnacle Wifi Tether

Just use Barnacle Wifi Tether in the Market

My Milestone running CM7 connected just fine (first try!) using 3G Mobile Hotspot that comes bundled in CM7. Great speed too.

I haven't tried any other wifi or USB tether app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
New At This!

Hey all, Loving my GTab at the moment except for the inability to tether it to my iPhone. This is a new arena for me. I have been jailbreaking each of my iphone versions since the first but I have never had a Android phone before so no idea how to root it. The steps listed on the first page of this thread, are those the steps you have to follow AFTER you have rooted the phone? If so, I am assuming everyone has had success at rooting the 10.1 tablet so far. I ask cuz I would never tell my friends to jailbreak their phone cuz if you do not know what your doing you can screw something up. I dont want to fall into the same category. I am going to do a search for rooting in Galaxy Tab 10.1 but figured I would first see if those directions are all I need to know. thanks in advance and sorry if I missed any post that already has this info in it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vansmack:
I asked you this in your other thread, but it's probably best placed here:

iPhone 4 or 3GS?

I don't think the 3 can create and infrastructure hot spot, only ad-hoc which takes rooting to connect to. I could be wrong about that though as I'm not an Apple guy.

If you have a 4, TetherMe is an app that should allow you to create an infrastructure hotspot and your 10.1 will connect to it. You won't have to root if you go this route.

Or you can just get a Nexus S 4G like me with infrastructure mode out of the box... ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
I have the newest iPhone4. I use PdaNet right now because it allows me to hide my usage so that AT&T can't be A-Holes and take away my unlimited data usage. I am not sure it has a Infrastructure hotspot like TetherMe does so I will check it and let ya'll know. Thanks for the help so far!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] android.vibrant:
Using Galaxy Vibrant's built-in Mobile AP on Tab 10.1

works great...stable connection!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
Good and Bad news!

Ok it seems that PDANet doesn't have the infrastructure hotspot but fortunately TetherMe allows tethering on any APN that is used for iphone data. So the hide usage feature from PDANet seems to have been ported over to TetherMe so I am going to give it a whirl and see what we come up with! Too bad I paid for PDANet a while back! LOL

============================

Installed and tethering perfectly without the need to root! VanSmack my man...Madd Props! However, I should note for those with iPhone4 looking to do this, I ran into a snag along the way. I am not sure why but TetherMe crashed during the middle of its install and took me about 10 mins to get it rebooted, purge of the half install and installed again. I am not sure if My3G and/or PdaNet conflict with the install of TetherMe or if it was a random glitch, but I uninstalled both of them and reinstalled TetherMe and it installed like a charm. Simple easy and connect. Thanks again everyone!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] S4NS:
Any Apple 3GS guys know the answer here? I have one (3GS), want to tether the SGT to it but don't want to root the Tab.

Much appreciated
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
TetherMe now supports all iPhones from iOS 3.x up to iOS 4.3 so you should be able to use the same software I installed to tether your GTab. However the easiest way to check it is to go into cydia and find TetherMe and see if your device supports its. I would post a link but i'm a newbie thus its inactive.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vansmack:
As I understand it, the iPhone 3GS wifi chip does not have infrastructure mode coded into its firmware. Thus I don't think TetherMe will fix that problem, but my recommendation would be to try it and find out. Again, I'm not an Apple guy, I've just played around with others phones and that's what I discovered.

And no sweat, stat. Glad to help.

[Galaxy S II General] np231:
Hi everyone,

What do you guys think about this source?

http://techfibe.com/2011/06/17/exclusive-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-landing-on-bell-july-14th/

Looks like we Canadians might get our hands on this device next month.

I was going to purchase the international version but now waiting for official release seems like a better option. Do you guys have any predictions for the price without contract? (Bell sells Atrix for $600 so It might be a bit expensive than that, this would still be cheaper than buying it online right now b/c of all the shipping and tax costs)
[Galaxy S II General] bossman74:
I sure hope it's true :-)

I wonder if it's the same version as the international one, or if it's NFC enabled?

I'd really like to change my SGS for this beauty, but this time I'll test the sh*t out of the GPS, before the 14 days "buyer's remorse" period it's over.
[Galaxy S II General] Digital1325:
This is good news for fellow canucks. After ordering it from handtec and paying import taxes it came up to almost $800. Don't mind having an unbranded and factory unlocked model though. And yeah, it'll be interesting to see if it ends up having NFC, even though id never see myself actually using it.
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
SGSII

I doubt it will have NFC, it would be nice to have it but I really don't care as I don't think anyone will actually use it for next two years.

The only reason I am holding back on ordering from handtec (390 GBP = $620 CAD.. price has dropped quite a bit) is b/c of the warranty and returns policy. If the device is defective I would have to ship it back to Europe and its just too much of a hassle.

I am not too worried about the tax/import charges as I will have to pay taxes if I buy from bell. So in the end I'll end up saving around $25 if I buy from Bell. And since the phone will be locked it ends up costing the same as handtec, that is if Bell sells the phone for $600-$625.

On a side note, I do look forward to switching from Wind to Bell or Rogers though. What do you guys think about the service, which one is better in terms of reception in GTA, Ontario?
[Galaxy S II General] ptscon:
It will end up more with the crappy CC exchange rate you'll end up getting. I remember calculating my exchange cost on Royal Bank site to $723 ..Visa ended up charging $766.
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
Thanks

You are right. Thanks. One more reason to wait for the Canadian version.
[Galaxy S II General] FaithCry:
Rogers for sure, I'm in Markham and travel to Hamilton for school and I always have reception in both areas... but Rogers plans are expensive, thats the only downfall.
[Galaxy S II General] slsSpeC:
Mobile Syrup reports the HTC Sensation is being released by Bell on July 5th. The approximate retail value is $549.95 which would be some nice competition to the Samsung Galaxy S II.

I should sell my Incredible S before these two monsters hit Bell :p
[Galaxy S II General] redsnoopy04:
Was in TO past weekend and checked out the phone @ Pac Mall and the price for the S2 is between $700 to $720 unlocked depending on which store you ask. Already ordered the case via eBay and once I get the case (when this strike is over) then will get the phone. I am with Rogers and IMHO always thought Rogers had better reception than Bell but probably that's cuz I have always been biased against Bell and the idea that their reception is not as good as Rogers. =)
[Galaxy S II General] ptscon:

I'm torn between this and the new Galaxy tab. Girlfriend won't let me have either but I must have one! :-D
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Have both... I would get the Galaxy S2 first... it's actually faster than any Tegra tablet and can play 1080p MKV files (unlike Tegra tablets which struggle with even high bitrate 720p files). But the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is quite nice in its own right =)
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
Since she will let you have neither I would then get both. Show her who is boss lol.
[Galaxy S II General] seaskimmer:
I can confirm this release.

I was at my Bell store and the guy said the release was in the "third week of July"

I asked for the price but he said he was unsure at the time, he said he would probably know next week.

I also went down to the Rogers store in the same mall and the clerk there had no idea what the S2 was... guess it isn't coming to Rogers?

[Android Themes] TecknoFreak:
Hello guys,

I need to know if I can do a bootanimation using JPEG images? I have made one that I will like to post here but man PNG files even I have optimize then still at 32mb compressed on zip extension at 216 frames that will have split on 2 folders.

If I can make it on JPEG extension I can make this go to at least 5 to 6mb on size.

Maybe I will have to edit some source of XML file to make this possible as I have read it only works with png files.

Any ideas will be appreciated
[Android Themes] GchildT:
Please share files...
[Android Themes] TecknoFreak:
Perfect my friend, the file is below as MediaFire

I have founded the animation googling around and I have modify it to enhance the colors to more vivid and added a second folder.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/dl28h997lz3dnwg/bootanimation.zip
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
If you convert the images from RGB to Indexed, the larger files in the first folder should take up less space. I don't think you will get it down to 5 or 6mb without resizing the images though (maybe 10mb). 200+ 480x800 images are going to take up some space.
[Android Themes] TecknoFreak:
Is there a software around that let me convert multiple images at once? Is kind of hard doing it one by one.lol
[Android Themes] DaX05:
Its like drawings cartoons on a booklet and flipping the pages to see the animation lol. But I was wondering the same thing.
[Android Themes] isidromxz:
I got the bootanimation file to be 2.02 mb with a jpg format and it look pretty good ;)

let me see if I can find the software I had to do a batch conversion, will report back.

Oh yeah! But I believe that's on the first page of this thread on the tutorial of how to add sound if you want it again.
[Android Themes] TecknoFreak:
Thank you mate, nut I need then on png with good resolution. I will try something and if it work out I post here as I will love good resolution on the images. I already tried the shotdown animation and it worked out perfectly.

If there a soft that I can batch convert from jpe to png please let me know as it will save me at least 30mins on each try I make. Another thing is if anyone can tell me the zip permissions and the notepad inside the zip is ok.

Thanks
[Android Themes] isidromxz:
I ran several test with different settings and every time I convert back to png the file gets larger even when going from jpg to png. I used a batch conversion and also tried photoshop.

I would recommend doing it all in jpg honestly I cant notice any major difference in quality on my phone (HTC HD2)
[Android Themes] TecknoFreak:
So r your telling me i can use jpg instead oc png? Wow that would os saber me lots oc home.lol

Can you tell me if the notepad is ok? I wasn't sure about it and also what are the permissions for the bootanimation.zip?

For last I can say thank you
[Android Themes] isidromxz:
I used png in my boot animations but also did jpg just to give people options specially for slower phones smaller is better.

Your "desc" file is ok but I would experiment with the frames per second if you slow it down you can cut the number of frames in half without loosing anything.

(Delete every other frame)

For example my miui vs cyonogenmod animation is 15fps but if I did 30fps like your animation I would need x2 the frames to be smooth.

here is my "desc" file

Change the permissions as shown

If you need the batch software pm me.
[Android Themes] silverxbv2:
Jpeg works just fine. Another trick to make the file smaller is to resize the images to half of the screen resolution. Like 240x400 instead of 480x800. That's how I do all of mine.

http://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTEyOTE1MzA3OQ
[Android Themes] TecknoFreak:
ok guys I simply did it on JPEG and looks great.

I have add more frames to it since my vibrant did well. is over 230 frames adding up both folders and I have enhance each one of the images for better resolution at JPEG making it look like an actual png file. Took me hrs to optimize the whole animation making it much better from the original one.

The credit goes to the creator which at this moment coulndt find.

Second folder is a continues animation that change android color. (nice)

the biggest deal here is that we get the best JPEG image resolution it can be done and I have optimized to less then 2.1mb on size for slower phones even though it have that many frames.

Please test and let me know
[Android Themes] isidromxz:
Looks good

I use RCMix S 2.0v ROM and I'm pretty happy with it, but today my phone started acting up weird, my web browser crached and my phone was very very slow and as I wasn't at home I thought I'll recover it. But after recovery it booted up and didn't show lock screen, all my apps were gone, phone, people, massages wasn't availabel as well as settings.

Now I'm at home agien and did full wipe and I'm right now installing this rom agien from zip, hope it works, but still any ideas, why I had such issues?

[Samsung Mesmerize] HikingMoose:
Hello, I'm on my third Mesmerize from UScellular. It is a very buggy phone. The most unreliable phone I've ever owned. The alarm app fails often, the email app usually has to be force closed and reopened to check for new email. It obviously misses calls often, and even can't send texts, and misses some some texts as well. I hate the phone. I got the new EE19 radio update last tuesday and Friday it missed a call, and Saturday it missed two calls back to back, and couldn't send a text message for about 10 minutes :mad::mad:. I took it back to the store, and was very upset. I thought they would give me a different phone all together... hopefully something that works. But no, they are doing a warranty replacement :(.

Should I sell the phone, and get better brand? If I learn how to flash ROM's and change the rom and kernel will it be more reliable? Will I still have the missed call issue with the EE19 radio and a custom ROM, or would I need to try a new radio as well? Any thoughts, tips, advice, pointers would be greatly welcomed!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
I wonder if part of it is a reception issue. If you've gone through three phones, and each time you're having not just missed calls but text problems also, that suggests to me it's not getting the kind of signal it needs, at least for the phone network portion of it.

That said, I think it's entirely worth asking: have you done ANYTHING at all to customize it? Rooted it, loaded a custom ROM, recovery, kernel, radio, anything? Has your e-mail and alarm app broken that same way on all three phones? If you're having these problems right out of the box with ZERO customization on your part, then it's possible you've just been monumentally unlucky with which particular phones you've gotten; they say each specific unit can function differently compared to another as far as performance benchmarks and which ROMs work and which don't.

I question if a custom ROM would solve your problem, or just introduce more. I suspect it's possible either way in my opinion. You could try them with the understanding they may not do a thing for you---or may make the phone perform even worse.

I personally haven't had a problem with mine. I happen to like the phone, especially with Odin/Heimdall to go back to a stock configuration when all else fails (and I don't run a TouchWiz ROM, but even then those weren't THAT bad). Certainly no missed texts, and I didn't really notice any missed calls either. To me, that means you're either (A) getting lemons, (B) have a reception issue, or (C) are messing with your phone and aren't telling us. ;) I'm cool with giving the benefit of the doubt on C.

If you're really motivated to get it figured out, try keeping a journal with where you are, what time it happened, and what failed and how.
