[Atrix 4G Android Development] troycarpenter:
It may be going off topic recently, but I did this change yesterday and it worked. What doesn't work? The setting or the fact that AT&T can still detect you are tethering? It's the APN method that doesn't work for sure.

BTW, if you use aShell and aSQLiteManager, you can edit the setting directly on the phone for free. Edit /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db Look around line 118 for the setting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mgamerz:
This thread works. I couldn't get it to work on 2.3.6 however.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] troycarpenter:
I got it to work on 2.3.6. Didn't mention it in my post above, but I did a complete 2.3.6 upgrade including webtop and applied the fix. Enable hotspot didn't check, and webtop worked after initial warning went away (or was dismissed).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DanDem:
Worked for me line 148 :)

Ver. 2.3.5
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hammerlock13:
The entitlement setting is mandatory and was on line 118 for me.. I get a green icon when tethering is on. I will be testing with my lapdock tonight. Can't wait!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mgamerz:
Typically takes about 30 secs for firefox to latch onto the tethering.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tutchthesky7:
no setting in settings.db

after i open sqllite i go to setting storage , then settings .db, but settings is not listed, just , android metadata, bluetooth devices, bookmarks, secure, sqllite sequence, and system
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yokozuna82:
Select systems and you'll find it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] snow4less:
Thanks for the tip. I edit using aShell and aSQLiteManager. Found @line 148. So far is working great.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dudemaaan:
worked for me on atrix 2, was on line 148.

My internet works properly without any APN changes, but is is still advisable to do so to reduce the chances of att finding out? Or does it use the same APN as the normal phone data?

I know the iphone triggers some sort of tethering APN, but maybe not the case here?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mathk:
great instruction , thx a lot.

there is an freeware to do so , it's called "andsqlite" but it's quite odd and doesn't support HD.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] negrowil:
It works!!!

Thanks... it works... Right now I am using my wifi tether and replying with my laptop.

XDA is AMAZING!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] denhib:
Fantastic! Thanks for the help. I am now able to use my phone as a mobile hotspot for my tablet and to tether my laptop via USB.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] timtam7989:
Has anyone tried this for 2.3.6? I see that some people have got it to work for Webtop but I use mine with my laptop so not sure if it'll be an issue.

Many thanks!

I have successfully found and disabled entitlement_check on the Motorola Atrix 2 in the past, however the field does not appear to exist on this Motorola Atrix MB860 that I am trying to fix at the moment. Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tbot:
So I found this somewhere weeks ago but can't find it again or else I would link to it.

Anyways, I posted this in the CM7 thread and someone asked for it to be its own thread, sooo here it is!

You can use any root explorer to navigate to the given directory, just make sure any options for hidden folders are enabled, or use a terminal emulator like already in CM7.

In terminal emulator first type "su" without quotes to gain super user access. From there type cd /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player

The periods and capitols are essential, so don't mess those up.

If you get an error saying of can't cd to the whole directory path go a couple at a time and if you get lost type "ls" again without quotes and it will list the files and folders in the current folder. If nothing shows up do "ls -a" and it will list hidden folders as well (ie the .macromedia folder for instance).

Once in the final folder type "chmod 000 config.data" and verify it worked by typing "ls -l" where you should see all "-" for the config file.

Hope that helps and is clear enough.

I attached a screenshot of terminal emulator for a visual. Although I did break up the "cd" into two parts so you can see the entire directory path.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
I concur with this method....I used this method through root explorer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
I guess im missing something

i tried to get to the directory a few different ways but I guess something is missing? Help?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
I will point out that the directory doesn't show up until you try to run a flash video in the stock browser (or whatever browser you are using). If you use dolphin it is a different directory. Replace the "com.android.browser" with "mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] schwab16:
Ok, so I have tried watching vids in dolphin browser and stock and I still get no folder in data, and is the data on the root of my phone or on the SD card
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
It is in the phones internal storage, not the sdcard. It is data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/ The file is "config.data". You would have to try to play a flash video in the stock browser for it to show up in the directory that is in the op.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
I managed to browse to /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer after that there is nothing, see below.I did play some flash to generate the folder but nothing . Anybody?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tbot:
The folder after this is hidden, hence the "." in front of macromedia.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tbot:
Try playing an embedded flash video then going back in to see if its there.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tbot:
CBMC thanks for clarifying that my OP is for stock browser...I didn't even think about another browser since I don't use anything else.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
what exactly is this fixing in flash? i found version 13 of flash is sometimes black regardless of this fix... 12 is fine though apparently.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ovrclck:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15476324&postcount=7378 :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tbot:
There's something in this particular config file that causes issues playing any flash video of 420p or higher.

Various other people had no problems when the 10.2 update came out but I did. 10.3 has the same config file, but that's when more people started having the sound but no video issue and this "fix" came about.

I wish I had a more definite answer but I just don't know.

On another note, if you fix permissions in rom manager or CWM this fix goes away and you'll need to go back in and redo the chmod.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
Ok next dumb question how do I enable view hidden files? I'm using SUFBS to browse.

Why is it only choppy in cm7? In the GB Sense roms, Netflix works fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scriz:
Finally got there, doesn't fix Netflix's choppiness in CM7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
The Netflix app for me is somewhat working for me with this hack I mean its not the best but it's def alot better

Edit. @death metal....by the way it's funny to see that my post actually got read lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ovrclck:
Yes sir! I followed your steps with root explorer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arcanexvi:
Netflix isn't entirely flash so this won't/shouldn't help much with that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
No thanks to me! Thank Tbot&mustang for the info and steps to find. I just filled in the blanks to make it easy

Edit: I'm not sure if Netflix has anything to do with flash but I would think it uses some kind of flash since its streaming video
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
Well I managed to go through all the steps but there is no change in CM7. Still jerky video.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Deltaechoe:
I was looking around and i saw something about the netflix choppiness having to do with the stagefright libraries. I don't know if that was true but i seem to remember seeing it somewhere around here on the forum
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yareally:
Netflix on android doesnt use flash period. Just to prove it (easily) you don't need to have it installed to have netflix stream movies on CM7 or the GB leak.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
I hope someone figures this out, its a shame about playback on this ROM. Nevertheless Ill be waiting for it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
The frame rate is still low on this btw. But at least its moderately watchable.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PerCompLLC:
Worked perfectly on Adobe Flash 10.3 on CM7 RC1.2. However, I was just looking for Flash playback on the browser. I don't have Netflix, so that wasn't my concern. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rommer2:
The easiest way is to follow the OP and use Root Explorer. You could look for a help file on SUBFS or the developers website.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamana:
Hi!

Three questions:

0) How do I know that UHKE2 refers to the Brazilian baseband, and DUKF2 refers to the Canadian baseband and so on? Is there a table of codes and basebands somewhere?

1) Is it possible to flash a firmware and mix it with a modem*.tar file of another firmware?

2) How do I enable the basebands that I want?

Thanks.

Regards.

Love the phone but today I noticed a problem, taking a pic at any resolution will produce great images bar a very thin dotted live about 30% of the way up the screen if taken in portrait. Try it yourself take a photo of a sheet of paper then zoom right in and scan around I tried before and a after camera FW update and its still there.

[G2 and Desire Z General] gyromanx55:
Friend has a new Desire Z (bell, unlocked). Using it on AT&T network.

When at a house, and we use WiFI (30Mbps DL, 25Mbps UL), the speeds are VERY inconsistent. With my iPhone 4 using speedtest.net, it shows up as 20/15 each time. (WiFi is a little slower than the modem).

With the Desire Z, we get 15/10 (which is fine/acceptable). Then 3 minutes later we do it, we get 5/2. Without even moving the phone or touching the modem connection (not downloading anything on the computer), the connection just gets slower. Then it might be fast or slow, basically it's a toss-up.

The first time we noticed the issue is because when we are outside, we get HSPA speeds of 2.5/1.0, then randomly decreases to 0.1/0.05. HUGE difference. And VERY inconsistent. He is using a microSIM from iPhone 4, with an adapter, so we figured maybe the SIM card is getting loose at certain points? However, the WiFi is also inconsistent in addition to the HSPA, so it's probably not that.

What should I do? Is this the situation where I have to flash a new radio or something? (Please suggest others if I am wrong).

Thanks!

---

Also, his battery is kinda weak. The battery health is apparently clean/healthy. He came from an iPhone 4, where he would have 3G, WiFi, and GPS on at night but not actually using them. Wake up, and 3% battery loss, maybe 5. WITHOUT using them, just having them on.

Now, with the Desire Z, we have the WiFi + 3G on, but NOT the GPS. He is losing 20%-25% in 8 hours without even using the phone.

Information about battery shows a high Cell standby (25%) and Phone idle (25%) percentage. When going into Spare Parts > Partial Wake usage, we didn't find anything really fishy. BUT we had rebooted so perhaps some info may have been lossed. Should he just go to sleep tonight and report the Partial Wake Usage statistics again?

We have a feeling it may be some apps refreshing at night.. But he clears all the apps with Advanced Task Manager except for like Facebook (2 hour interval refresh), GMail, and Google Voice.

I highly doubt a 20% battery decrease overnight is normal.. My mom's Atrix only loses about 5% overnight, with the same parameters I gave before.

I thought it may be a bad battery, BUT the phone idle + cell standby are abnormally high.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] blackknightavalon:
Why is this in General as well as Q&A?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gyromanx55:
Put this in Q&A, didn't get any answers. Went to General, saw that more people posted there, even for Q&A's. Have an actual problem that research didn't help much with, so made a thread. If necessary, I would be glad to remove the thread on Q&A.

By the way, thanks for the answer .
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Would you be able to post your software specs? Radio version, rom version, android version? My Bell DZ only loses about 3% per night if I don't plug it in to charge. I, like you, have wifi, gps and hspa enabled with no huge I'll effect.

The stock battery is usually alittle weak. Being a 1350mA, it doesn't have the capacity either, but that is why it is user replaceable. I picked up the mugen 1800mA battery that gives the phone the stamina to last a full day of full use or 2-3 days of light use. I forget how much I spent on it but it was definitely an upgrade.

As for the signal issues, we would need to know what you are running. The latest .30 radio is recommended for AT&T if I remember correctly. Also, the type of rom (stock or custom) might give us abit more insight.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JayXL14:
I lost about 10% overnight today I believe, possibly 15 (don't remember exactly what I left off at).

Not sure on all the stats because I don't know how to check them but

Android Version 2.3.4

Cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC-Vision (seller did it for me)

What is the radio version? I think that is baseband not kernel? If so its 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone knows about the sporadic data, that'd be helpful. It does seem that if I go into airplane mode a few times it fixes itself, but I doubt everyone does that to ensure fast HSPA speeds
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
I've never used CyanogenMod Custom ROM's before, so I can't speak from that experience. I can, however, tell you that while running RMK (and team's) Custom ROM's (Virtuous, G-Lite, Unity) and now MIUI, battery life has been excellent, even with the stock battery. The current build of MIUI lasted for about 15hrs on a day of full use, RMK's ROMs would last about 12-15hrs of moderate to full use on the stock battery. Alot of the custom roms have different power management settings and tweaks, if you're comfortable with flashing, I would recommend another ROM and see if that helps with either of your problems.

If you like the Vanilla/AOSP look of android, try RMK's G-Lite ROM. It is very lightweight, fast and stable. I remember having one issue with it, but it was a very small issue and didn't stop me from using it for a few months.

I am currently on MIUI English 1.7.1 and with moderate use I am sitting at 50% charge spent over 2 days. Moderate for me is about 300 texts with about 10 phone calls and a total of about 4hrs of web browsing.

I can link you to those roms if you need, but they're all located in the Dev section. Your radio seems like it's on the right version, so perhaps it's not the issue. Try running another rom for a week and see if that helps to any degree.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JayXL14:
I re-calibrated the battery, let it die, charged it up, let it die, charged it up. I followed the instructions to the letter and all that.

It was at 100% when I went to sleep. Woke up 8 hours later, 74%.

Settings > Battery shows nothing high 40% for cell standby and phone idle. Everything else (Facebook, etc.) REALLY low.

Then I went to Spare Parts > Battery Usage, Partial wake usage, everything incredibly low as well..

I will try Watchdog, but could it just be a bad battery? Or maybe should I try a different ROM?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
NO! This is poor recommendation, and people need to stop perpetuating it. People keep recommending this, but its NOT a good idea to let the battery drain until it dies, just to calibrate the battery meter. While the protection circuit on the battery will USUALLY prevent over discharge, it is not 100% failsafe. There is a slight possibility that over-discharge of the battery will happen, and then the battery is no good, and will need to be replaced. Unless you have a special battery meter with a "boost" function (which most people do not have access to). See the following table on Battery University, where it says for Li ion batteries: Discharge: Prevent full cycles

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/do_and_dont_battery_table

Best practice is to charge to 100%, drain to about 20%, repeat a couple times. No need to go below 20%. The battery meter is not very accurate to begin with, so there is no value added going to 0% versus 20%, but you risk killing the battery.

Plus people keep abusing the terminology. You are just calibrating the battery meter, not "calibrating the battery". When people say this, I think its just a holdover from the old days of NiCad batteries, where you had to condition/discharge the batteries periodically to prevent memory effects (Li ion batteries do not suffer from memory effects, and require no period cycling).
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Can't really speak to the Atrix or the iPhone. But the battery drain on the DZ described by the OP is right in line with what I've seen. I also have an unlocked Bell DZ on AT&T, and battery drain of 2-4% (on various ROMs and couple different radios) when the phone is completely idle, screen off is totally normal. Best I've seen on my DZ is with the Virtuous Unity ROM and the .30 Gingerbread radio, where I've seen somewhere around 1-2% drain per hour when idle.

One possibility, is that the different phones are not reporting % battery the same way. As I've mentioned above, the battery voltage meters on phones is not very accurate, maybe in the range of 5-10% accuracy (although, even with this, the drain on the DZ versus the ATrix and iPhone still sounds inconsistent). But what is more important is how many hours of usage you get before needing to charge.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JayXL14:
Thanks for the info.. Ill try charging that way.

And I honestly think the battery is just reading it wrong. It honestly feels like it dies faster idle than not, go figure. Yesterday, at like 10% battery, I wanted to kill it off, and played a game for like 10 minutes straight, still 10...

Then I tried leaving the flashlight on for 10 minutes on and it maybe lost 1

How is that battery I recommended from dealextreme though?
[G2 and Desire Z General] fluxgfx:
It's interesting to see all the troubles that people are getting on the DZ...

I've had my DZ for about 6months and never seen any of the reported problems.

My 1350mha will last me on a frequent usage near 24hrs and if I'm using it lightly like when i'm busy at work... almost 2days worth.

Mind you I'm running Cyanogen MOD7. No GPS. Wifi is on and I use JuiceDefender.

Cheers mates.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
Last night, I charged my phone to a complete charge before going to bed to see what kind of drain I would see overnight. After 9.5 hours, my battery had only lost 2% sitting idle. That is with 3G on, but no Wifi or Bluetooth enabled.

The phone idle accounted for 47%, cell standby 48% and Android system 4%

While it seems remarkable, I'm still not convinced that its not my phone incorrectly reporting the battery level. On a typical day when I pull my phone off the charger, the first 10% is very slow to drain. Today, I have sent a few text messages and played maybe 3 minutes of word feud. That has drained 6% of my battery.

We will see where I'm at later in the day. I suspect that the actual level is lower than the 94% it is reporting. Typically, I get between 12-16 hours of usage, depending on how much I play with my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
Well I am at nearly 23 hours on this charge. Have used the phone rather lightly during the day. It sat idle for about 9 of those hours while I slept last night.

Conclusion: Idle drain is very minimal on my device and looks as though the percentage was being reported rather accurately. I'd say if you're having a lot of drain while sitting idle, do some digging and find what it is.

More info:

Facebook: update 1 hour

Gmail Sync: 1 hour

Fancy Widget update: 1 hour

Brilliant Quotes widget: update 1 hour

Light Bluetooth usage (about 15 minutes)

Wifi on all day (not overnight so about 14 hours total)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindred7:
No, you will not be able to run flash on 2.1. Only 2.2 and higher have the required api. So for now until gingerbread (2.3) comes out you would have to put a cusom rom on it that is 2.2. You most likely will be able to run gingerbread by using flashtool in the future.
