Hello guys,

Yesterday, I was just trying to enable the wifi hotspot feature, but it just would not enable.

I am using Wolfbreaks Xperia TWCM6 ROM, BB .67.

Tried all the fixes mentioned in the how-to for the Rom. It just would not work. As soon as I tap on the option, it says error and closes itself.

I tried using Wifi Tether, but as soon as I starts, it prompts: Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application.

It does starts tethering, but I tried connecting other 2 phones. They do recognize the hot-spot, but keep say connecting...

any idea....:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denenatse:
try the app Wifi Static
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeneration:
I tried the Wifi-static app. I dont know actually how to use it. Googled and found some static ip settings. Tried using it bit no use.

Does the stock kernel supports native wifi tethering?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
Try barnacle wifi tether. Look up in android market or google
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeneration:
When I try Barnacle Wifi tether, it does starts tethering, but none of the wifi devices are able to even detect the wifi hotspot...

:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
The only device the connects to barnacle for me is my computer
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeneration:
So, Wifi tether is not possible on other mobile devices..??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
Well I don't know. it could be just me. Hopefully the new se firmware for gingerbread will fix that unless its already fixed
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogeneration:
:rolleyes: So once again, I have to wait for SE to update the firmware... I hope they do it as said in August!
[Verizon Droid Charge] dmw_4814:
I, like an idiot, deleted an alarm sound off of my Droid Charge without first backing it up, and now I'd like it back. I did that because I copied an alarm sound file (snooze.mp3) from my defective Thunderbolt that I wanted to use on my Charge, but it still appears as a choice on the menu of alarm sounds when configuring the alarms, so I'd like to put it back on my phone. I should've made a copy of it before I deleted it, but I thought that it would just automatically no longer appear on the list of alarm sounds since it was gone. MY Droid Charge has been rooted and I am using a custom ROM, GummyCHARGED 1.8.5, and the alarm sound I deleted and want back is Toy_watch.ogg, I believe. Does anybody know where I can obtain a copy of this sound file? I was just deleting it because I copied and put on my Charge two mp3's from my Thunderbolt, beeps.mp3 and snooze.mp3, and I wanted those to be the only two choices when selecting alarm sounds. However, when I saw it still appeared in the list, even after rebooting, I didn't delete any others.

Alternatively, if someone can tell me how to remove it from the list, that would be great, too!

Thanks,

Dennis
[Verizon Droid Charge] dmw_4814:
Nevermind! I realized I still had the ZIP file of GummyCHARGED 1.8.5 on my PC, so I just went in there and extracted the alarm sound I needed, then pasted it onto my Charge.

I want delete the lock screen apk file does anyone no what the file name for it is I have root explorer I just can't find the apk file in the system also I no about no lock but it doesn't always work.

I have a feeling that just removing the apk would cause some issues

yeah i've decided to go back to my dinc this thing just isn't for me with how locked down it is thanks for the help though (i maybe back once this thing gets unlocked bootloader) its just said how bad moto can make a phone with 10x better hardware than my dinc and my dinc is better in every way besides screen size.

Have you tried the No Lock app from the market? It's free and it does a pretty good job of disabling the lock screen.

[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
So on launch day I purchased the 3D from Radio Shack in the Tacoma Mall. It was a bad phone...kept freezing up and resets did not help. So after making me feel guilty about how they aren't going to make any money, blah, blah, blah they swapped it out. Replacement phone worked great but it had a huge white speck under the screen. It was all I could look at. So I went back to the mall and they said they could only swap out 1 time. All I could do was cancel the new line and get my money back. Is this standard Radio Shack policy? They lost a good customer! I just wanted a working, dust free phone, and these employees take this crap personally and give me a guilt trip. I will never step into Radio Shack again. Well..off to Best Buy! They'll like my money!!
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
with in the first 30 days ... i think thats a BS excuse to "not make any money"
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
Exactly! How are they gonna lose money on a manufacturer defect? The excuse they tell me does not make any sense. I've never bought anything from BB. I hope they are better to work with!
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I've never had an issue at the Radio Shack I go to occasionally. They don't lose money on a phone returned for defect. They get fully reimbursed. In fact, I think on any phone return they get reimbursed, but I'm not positive on that part. I just know for a defective unit they do.

Did you piss them off or something?
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
You would think I pissed them off, lol. I was nice, me and the guy who originally swapped it got along but he said that was their policy. So I had to go back home because I forgot the charger. The guy was gone and the gal that helped me basically took this personally. I left their feeling horrible like I did something wrong. The speck was HUGE, even the guy agreed.
[HTC EVO 3D] skorpyo31:
Please contact the DM and tell him/ her about your experience. I manage a RS and yes employees get a lot of pressure from upper management about trying to avoid cell phone returns. I personally disagree with this and if enough customers voice their experiences with the DM, RS will do their best to satisy customers. They actually take customer feedback very seriously.
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
Thanks, appreciate the response. Do they infact lose out on money on manufacturer defects? They lost the sale, seems like that is just a lose lose for RS. That's the part I just can't understand! I'm not gonna pursue it any further, I think they're sick of me anyways. Best Buy took care of me and phone has no visible defects, runs great so far. Hopefully 3rd phone is a charm....seems to be so far!
[HTC EVO 3D] sdc177:
They are really going to love me if I return it for no reason other than waiting for the SGS2....which I'm 50/50 on right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I think I've isolated the problem. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] chrischoi:
You call yourself a really good customer at Radioshack? That's sad.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Lololol....

I dunno how you meant this. But I took as. "You frequent a radioshack enough to be considered good??.. who willingly goes to radioshack that often?"
[HTC EVO 3D] chrischoi:
That and half the people that consider themselves as a very good customers are the worst. Who openly admits to something like that?

I think at my work... we have a 1 replacement rule... 3rd and on we need approval.

They won't be replaced for something stupid... it has to affect functionality... That's a rule for most places. If they swap it, they just don't know better.
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
Yeah I guess I'm the worst kind of customer...I expect a quality product for my hard earned cash! I'm not being picky, nobody in their right mind would have kept that phone! What company you work for, I'll be sure to never go their either because I like companies that care about customer satisfaction no matter how many times it takes to get it right.
[HTC EVO 3D] eduardmc:
well i would never buy any phone in radio shack ever again. At least in my local radio shack because of the stupidity they tried to pull on me.

I pre order 2 evo3d with the $50 gift card each. When it was time to pickup both phones i saw the brought out accesories and i thought to myself that i would probably get some free goodies. This was only to find out that their preorder $50 cards are only to purchase assessories and the money would not go to the phone. i was so piss about it and had a long talk with then. i refused to purchase the phone cause i never agree to anything like this in the preorder. They called the head manager over the phone and then they came back with the bull that since i was a long time customer they would allow it with me. I feel sorry for all the other guys that preorder in this store.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bootup:
That's where you problem started...
[HTC EVO 3D] RichardsChris:
I used to work for a radioshack kiosk inside a sams club.

Want my opinion of radioshack?

They have great prices on phones, but GOD HELP YOU IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!

Luckily sams club has pretty much kicked out radioshack and now the cellphone kiosk I run is completely controlled by sams club. Life is so much better now lol
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
LOL...good one!
[HTC EVO 3D] Bp3dots:
Returned products are often not reimbursed at full price. Also it costs $ to repackage, ship, pay the guy at the warehouse who inspects them.. etc. So yes, it is a loss for us. (Not saying it sucks for customers, or that it was appropriate for them to tell you that, since you have no effect on it. Bad phone is bad phone.)

The policies are really there because of people who abuse them, and like everything else, a few bad apples ruin the pie. Most "defective" phones are really due to user error/abuse and that is what we have to avoid. Personally, if I see that someone's phone is actually defective, I have no problem swapping it out. But in the real world, I have a boss to answer to, so I have to work with the same restrictive policy.

As an example, I had to factory reset two 3 day old OG Evo's today that people wanted to return because they were "defective." The phones were fine, but the people had loaded so much crap on them that they were barely running. After the reset, both were working perfectly.

Hope that helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bp3dots:
If you wanted an SGS2, why buy a 3D? This is one of the reasons policies like this are around.

I'll never understand why people buy things that they aren't sure they really want. All it does is waste a product that someone who actually wanted it could have had and waste a lot of everyone's time. Seems like it would be much easier for all parties involved to just make sure the one you buy is actually the one you want.
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
Now that makes sense...I did not consider the costs of warehouse guy and shipping back to manufacturer. Thanks for answering my questions, you've been really helpful!
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Like the other poster said... it doesn't work that way... a lot of the returns we get back where i work go in the trash... Or they go to our warehouse then into the trash... we don't get credit for a lot of that stuff.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't get a fully working phone, but just keep that in mind.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
You say "we" so I'm assuming you work or knows someone that works at radio shack or best buy

But saying you don't get credit is bull ****

They do get credit if its proven defective... If radio shack, best buy or any other company did that there would be no possible way to make money if the product is recalled or has a known defect..

They may not give a full credit for a returned phone.. but no credit lol there would be no companies other than the service providers selling phones

[HTC EVO 3D] :
They pulled a fast one on you. You should report that to the DM! That's bull****!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Get your facts straight. RS made the decision to pull out and go into Target stores.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
And why is that sad?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramiss:
Actually it makes no sense at all for RS to pay for this. If HTC sent a bad phone to the distributor then HTC needs to eat the cost of the return...period.

And, if that isn't in the partnership agreement then RS are fools for agreeing to it.

Bottom line is that RS should be complaining to the manufacturer, not dumping their BS woes on the customer!
[HTC EVO 3D] slo895.0:
I work at a radioshack in Kansas, and I can assure you that is not what the 50 dollar gift card was for. Any employee that says you have to use the 50 for accessories is lying. I am shocked however that we didn't offer any free stuff like we did when the OG EVO launched.
[HTC EVO 3D] slo895.0:
You are correct, radioshack sends their returned/defective phones back to RMAC. Stores are more concerned about the fact that they will have one less phone to sell untill replenishment, that's why they give you grief sometimes.
[HTC EVO 3D] SAShady:
If I were some of these posters upper management, you all would be immediately terminated for not only down talking potential customers, but basically bashing the company you work for. If you work in retail, and want to ***** about customers, maybe you should go pave sidewalks away from people.

[HTC EVO 3D] jlevy73:
Why do you think the shack and worst buy get **** ass customer service ratings year after year. It's just business to them and honestly they couldn't give a crap about the customer, they only care about the bottom line which is their profit. Sorry to the poster above who works for the shack because you seem like a good guy. But really you're the exception to the rule.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
I'm going to agree. Exception, not the standard.

I have a couple tales. First when I bought my original EVO. Everywhere in my area was sold out but one store that had only one. I drove to pick it up. Its a predominately Mexican town and the only worker there was Mexican, barely spoke English. Not a problem.. what was the problem was that he made me wait and stand there for 4 ****ing hours as he helped every other Latino who walked in the store. It was complete bull****. I would be waiting for him to activated my phone. He would drop everything and help anyone who walked in that was Latino. Proven by the fact that when another white guy came in he was waiting nearly 30 minutes just to buy batteries. Needless to say the INSTANT I got my phone from him I went OFF! Saying I was reporting his ass. I was so pissed. By contrast, it took 25mins to get my 3D from Best Buy.

Next, different Radioshack. I bought a universal power supply for an old SNES but inside was a plug for a Genesis, next day I take it back and showed him, he grabs an SNES plug off the shelf to see the difference which clearly there is. Same guy I bought it from. I explain the mix up. He says there is nothing they can do. I threw my receipt away but used a card that he claimed they couldn't look up. He even claimed not to remember me?! I had neon pink hair for christ sake.

I took the supply and headed to my car. As I was turning my ignition I see the guy come out with the other power supply. I roll my window down and he just stands there with his hand out. I look at my box and hand it to him puzzled and he THROWS the other box in my lap and goes "nice try, ****" apparently I grabbed the other one by mistake. I was shocked.

So, those 2 events have kept me out of a Radioshack indefinitely.
[HTC EVO 3D] cds36:
I'm on my 3rd, first one had no issues really, I had installed the ota fixes like a dummy so I took it back, I said it had sleeping issues so they gave me a new one. It was so funny the guy gave Me back my evo I was returing when I left by accident, so I left with 2 new evo3d lol The new one they gave me had a dead pixel so I returned that with no issues. So far this one seems to be a ok
[HTC EVO 3D] slo895.0:
Who exactly are you refering to?
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
A companies profits should never be brought up in the discussion of customer service. Plain and simple.

Any company that chooses profit over customers is quickly going to be the next victim of the bad economy.
[HTC EVO 3D] the.joeba:
A very similar thing happened to me with my 4G. My replacement phone had water circles under the glass so I called and complained. They overnighted me a replacement that sprint said was reported as stolen. After that they Emailed me a giftcard for the full price of a new 4G and never sent out a return box for my original. My wife ended up on the my first 4G and we sold them both on Swappa for >$200 each when we bought our 3Ds
[HTC EVO 3D] nonpointtruth:
There's no reason to rule out Radio Shack for anything, unless it's the only one around you.. We've got 30 stores where I live.. Not all of them are the same.. You can't really blame the employees for how they were trained.. Like the other poster said, "we do have bosses we have to answer to." Even if we don't agree with what they tell us to do, we don't really have a say.. Their boss may have told them under no circumstances are they to swap out an Evo 3d(mainly because it's one less "hot phone" to sell).. It's ****ty, I know, but we can't much about it.. Also, you don't know what kinda pressure Radio Shack puts on their employees.. We get **** on for not doing one little thing like getting an email, or not getting accessories with a phone.. Those are things that(and people don't realize this)we can lose our jobs because of. That employee who told you the $50 giftcard was for accessories, was probably trying to keep their attach rate up, because they were getting **** on either by management or upper management..

Remember, there's two sides to every story.. Not just the customers..
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
That's big corporations, sad but true! If Sprint would drop that mail-in-rebate bull**** nobody would even have to deal with these RS, BB type of companies for phones.

I bought mine from radioshack, and I am actually going in tomorrow to pick up my 3rd replacement. My first two have had a few pinhole sized dots of light near the buttons at the bottom and it annoys me so much. Wish I could just get over it, but oh well.

But anyways, these guys at my radioshack are great. They have these two folksy guys that are probably in their 50s, maybe even pushin 60s. They are so nice, and at the same time so clueless it is almost sad. And one of them is the store manager! When I returned my 1st one, he did not even look at it or check anything. Lucky for them I am not into scamming them, but I can see how they would want to discourage these returns. My radioshack has very limited stock.

They ordered Evos based on pre-orders plus an extra or two. So I feel bad going in there trying to get a replacement. Especially when they have to go out of their way and order one, or pick up one from another store.
[HTC EVO 3D] ninoriff:
Very Interesting!

Funny that this is posted, but sad!

I used to be a RS Kiosk Mgr for a Target in Chicago and returns were extremely frowned upon because of the extremely limited stock of on hand product and because the poor sales rep works on a % based overall commision plus $7.80 an hour, RS is using the Tips wage to pay employees under the Minimum wage at the Kiosks with No overtime working 40 hours in 3 days and the Mgr being paid 12.35 plus the sales person commision plus an overall store % of sales per month... so an employees sales and chargebacks heavily affected their paychecks, Now I am unsure how they do in a RS Retail location but I can assure you it is not very different... so of course the sales rep would give you a guilt trip ... she is about to be charged back on her check for the % of the sale she made plus a penality for the early return which is over the commision she made originally... Yup very sad but very true....

Back in the days Radio Shack used to be a company that pride itself on amazing customer service, but go into a Radio Shack now and it is a true freak show with employees that know nothing about electronics... but at $10 an hour what can you expect..

Tisk Tisk
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
Wow, what a horrible company! You're right, when I was a kid I would go RS and the old timers seemed to know their stuff. These employees now don't know much of anything. Hell, I know more about the products they are selling than they do! Kinda reminds me of Sprint's technical support, they don't know anything either, lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Too true. Everytime I have gone into the store I ask for something and they give me the deer in the headlights look. I have to spend time locating exactly what I need and show them where it is once I find it and educate them on what it is and does.

Simplest thing I ever needed to get was some crimping wire taps to wire in some lights in my car. The dude had no clue what I was talking about. Went into their wiring drawers and rooted around in them until I found what I needed.

That store simply is set up to just confuse consumers. I don't buy there unless I am in a pinch and need something quick.

I needed some wire, again to wire up a light in my car and found the wiring I needed, they had the same wiring packaged 4 different ways. The shortest length wire was actually more expensive than wire 3 times the length. Talk about crazy.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bp3dots:
You should probably not assure people of things that you have no idea of. It's very different on the other side.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bp3dots:
As has been said before, that kind of experience will vary by store. (which sucks I know) But there's just a limit on how much you can pass on in training. I've been in electronics retail for around 10 years. But my new associate has been in the biz for 2 months. It's going to be a long time before she can answer every question that I can, no matter how much training we do.

Hopefully you at least get someone who will try to help as best they can if they don't know exactly what you need.

I wish we made 7.80 .. 7.31 here.. Not quite sure where you get $10 an hour from, though..
