[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Essenar:
Right now I'm on BAMF Sense 3.0 Gingerbread using MR2 radio (MR1 had no service) and every time I hook up USB and hit "Share internet with PC", I drop 3G and 4G and don't even get 1x. It's irritating.

And when I use Wifi Hotspot built in application, I get very very shaky consistency. If the screen turns off, 4G drops. After 10-15 seconds, 4G resets.

One of the primary reasons I traded my iPhone for a Thunderbolt was to bypass the need for a cable modem but I'm having no such luck.

Can anyone recommend a rom that has 100% stability with tethering? I'd prefer Wifi tethering but I'll settle for USB tethering as long as it works as well as it did on any other HTC Android phone I've used.

And yes, I've tried Barnacle and no, I do not like it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Try Wifi Tether.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

I love it and it works fantastic for me.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Essenar:
I just found Wireless Tether and I'm giving it a shot. Aside from tethering issues, BAMF 3.0 is a great rom so I'd hate to move away from it.

I'm surprised Verizon found a way to block Wireless Tether from Market. They sure are getting ahead in their game! So far I haven't had any drops! *knocks wood*

It's funny that some rooted app on market is better at tethering than Verizon's own hotspot feature. You'd think if they want people to pay for it, the least they can do is make their app the best for it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
I always find apps created by independent programmers seem to be the best anyway. The features of Wifi-Tether are awesome too, you can change the SSID, enable encryption, and manually enable or disable devices from connecting to your hotspot. Cant beat all that for functionality.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sg1dan:
i use SYNERGY 3.0 latest nighty with the wireless tether app and dont' have your issues. as far as i know, this is the only GB rom that doesn't have this problem. all froyo roms worked perfectly for me. with the stock kernel it came with and mr2 radio.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWhetsel:
WiFi Tether for the win. I used it just yesterday to DL a 500mb disc img.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scriz:
CM7's USB Tethering works great for me.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killz420:
+1 to that. Running BAMF 3.0 RC4 MR2.5. Using wifi tether. works great. If you cant find the wifi tether on the market, just put your phone in airplane mode and use wifi to connect then go back to market and search wifi tether for root.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWise1203:
I am using this version of WiFi Tether ... http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta1.apk&can=2&q=

I have found in order to get a stable connection, if you go into Settings and scroll down under the LAN option ... there will be a checkbox for Routing fix. Once I turned that on, my connection has be very stable.

Hope this works for you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Hey Guys,

I asked this in the actual rooting thread, but there doesn't seem to be much activity there. Was hoping for an answer by tonight when I attempt rooting.

Got my Thunderbolt yesterday. Didn't have time to root last night, but did go ahead and set up ADB Shell via the youtube tutorial (thanks man).

One issue I noticed was when I went to plug in my TB to a Win7 notebook, it did not give me the option of mounting it as disc drive like the Incredible does. I believe the option I chose was something like "connect apps to pc" or something to that effect and enabled USB debugging. I installed the drivers and added the variables for ADB, then checked to see if ADB was reading my TB via the cmd prompt, and it was. It displayed my serial number and device under list of devices attached.

Everything seemed to be fine, just like in the vid. But, with the mounting as disc drive option missing am I going run into any problems when I begin rooting?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
So when you plug your TB into your computer you dont see a screen pop-up on your phone that has options like "Charge only" or "Mount drive"?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
I replied in the root thread, but I can do it here too. :D

If I remember correctly when you first plug it in it doesn't show disk drive as an option. But once you've selected an option, pull the notification bar down and select it again the disk drive option should be there.

If not, you can always push the files to the sdcard with adb (adb push name_of_file.extension /sdcard/).

Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Well, the option is there now. I swear it was not at any point last night. Even after I put the drivers in.

But, both my notebook and TB have been restarted since then. Perhaps this was all it needed.

Thanks to you guys for responding. I'm about to attempt root. I'm just as nervous as I was when I rooted the Incredible for the first time.

Send some positive chi my way!

:D

Hello all,

I'm coming from an iphone 4, and i'm really happy with my S2 :)

But i don't like one thing : the lockscreen with the picture (wallpaper, that you have to move)

I've searched on google and i've see we can change this, and i want to know what is the best lockscreen for you?

Thanks a lot (and sorry for my english, i'm from France)

What has been the average battery life with your TF? Mine has been good but feel like it could be better. Today for example, after charging and an hour of soem use, it was already down to 90%...but observing, it may also have like a "sweet spot" in the % meter as I often see it stay in the 50% to 30% ranges longer than the 100% to 90%...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
Pretty damn good, I usually OC mine to 1.4 and have it at performance and it still lasts like 8 hours.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gripnrip:
I have gotten into a habit of leaving mine in the dock until the dock battery is used up and then I will switch between netbook mode and tablet mode. I'm not sure on actual hour usage but I usually get between 3-4 days. And this is really my only computer at home, so I use it quite a bit.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] isolated_epidemic:
With average use, youtube, games, reader, web browsing about 2-3 hours a day I only have to charge about twice a week. I love it. In the one test I managed I had my screen at full brightness and always on, gps and wifi tether running while I drove around town taking my wife to yard sales I ended up around 7 and half hours before i reached 15 percent. I'd say its pretty damn good. A hell of a lot better than my Adam I had before this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeLopez:
Really good. Charging every couple of days
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krispy1:
pretty good, i dont use it all at once but if i use it normally charge every 2-3 days
[Eee Pad Transformer General] decepticon:
Mines pretty good, OD'd to 1.5 idle at 4XX. Yesterday on a 12 hour work day: browsing about 2 hours, Fring calls, playing games for about 2 hours, USAToday/CNN apps about an hour, Polaris about 45min, and watched The Hangover at 720p.

When I got home I still had about 41% left on the battery, it was on WiFi all day, bluetooth off, and auto bright on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Lasts 8 hours if I continuously game on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stnel:
10% down for an hour of use means at least 9 hours till you get to 10% which is pretty good, and just like the producer specifies. It's better than any other Honeycomb tablet out there, including Samsung's Tabs.

I can get on my TF to 11-12 hours of moderate web browsing (forums and static blog pages, not much power hungry flash) with auto-brightness (in fact close to 10%-0% brightness cause I mainly use it in the evenings, in a low lit ambient) and other than WiFi radios off, before it reaches 10%.

That's good battery life. Comparable to my wife's iPad 2.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psycho2097:
I was out at work for 14 hours, when i came back,my battery has fallen by 22%. This happens often. In battery usage graph, i see that my tab was been awake intermittently a no. Of times during the time it was on standby, i mean like it was awake 50% of the time, in short bursts. At the same time, wifi was also on for very short intervals... my wifi is set to disconnect when screen off. I hav pulse,news360 and youtube widgets. And the asus time n weather thing. My mail did not sync during the standby time, as i received the gmail notification sometime after i switched it on. So it was probably an app that was causing multiple 'awakenings' ! Ne idea wat? I dont sync with picasa, so that may be ruled out.

Ps-this was undocked.

Pps- i found out the picasa sync option was checked, so i unchecked it. But i dont know if the battery drain was due to this. Isnt there any app like spare parts that can atleast tell the no. Of times/duration an app was used?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Silver Talon:
after using mine for about 24 hours fairly heavily, and having it oc' ed to 1.5, and a fair ammount of gaming, id say i could get a solid 7 hours of use out of it while still gaming a good ammount. Prob more, but no long term results yet.

Ne1 has any idea y this is happening? Any app that is known tho do this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sazfar13:
What can one do to squeeze the most out of the battery.

- keep the the brightness at 50%

- set wifi to turn off when the tablet is on standby.

Anything else?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marklin000:
My stand-by time has been horrible. From 100% down to 85% overnight, then down to 35% after 16 hrs, and the next morning, 15% left! So I literally have to recharge every other day even with very light use!

I have set wifi to disconnet when screen off, and I have weather, pulse, gmail and c-note widgets on
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xreflection:
I use my tablet for email, sometimes youtube and lots of games. Its on stock 3.1 with root and OCed to 1.4. It's probably like 2 hours everyday usage. I only charge it like twice a week.

I set my brightness to Auto, Wifi is on, might disconnect when screen is off, not sure.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] WiredPirate:
UPDATE:

I got a reply back from the dev..

Does anybody know about a SDK for the fingerprint scanner?:confused:

Hello all!

Today I found the app "GotYa! face the thief" on XDA. I went ahead and bought the full app so I could test it (hopefully to report back to the community that it is working on the Atrix). I have good news, it works great!:D Even tho there is a warning about compatibly with Froyo devices, I experienced no problems in my 15min / 3pic / email test run. This is how the app works: Tell it how many times to allow an incorrect log in (if any) before the front facing camera takes a pic of the phone thief and emails it to you with the location of the phone. The email part is optional, the app itself will also alert you of a failed log in attempt once you have successfully unlocked your phone, showing you the picture(s) it took during the "breach". So basically you can even use it to see if a friend picks up your phone.

I tested the fingerprint lock. A failed finger print swipe itself does NOT count as a failed log in attempt, so keep that in mind. I have emailed the dev to ask if he can correct this, and I will update this post when I get a response from him. However, I think that is petty in comparison to the benefits of this app. Obviously any thief is going to try the pattern lock as soon as he sees his fingerprint is not unlocking your phone, and as soon as the pattern lock is failed - You have a pic of his face and location. :D In addition to these features there are other "SMS triggers" and such.. On the Atrix choose "EXIF rotation - 90". The app is $1.99.

So enjoy this app, I have been waiting a while for something like this and I am sure several of you have too!

@OP: Great find i just bought it!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bongd:
Looks like a good app. Purchased the full version and will test out!

*update*

Very neat app. Set it up and it's working good with WidgetLocker. Gonna test it a bit more just to be on the safe side though.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
I bought it, and after 5 minutes of setting up I tested. Received an email with picture and location within 1 minute of failed logon attempts. Works perfectly!

Location request SMS doesn't appear to work, but I have to check my settings for that.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bongd:
Yep, looks like it works as advertised. Pretty awesome that it not only sends the location info but snaps a picture of any limey bastards that try to jack our phones!!

I almost want someone to steal mine now lol
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] DJQ1212:
I like it as well.... however I would like it a lot more if you could set a password to unlock the actual program on case they do somehow gain access to the phone. This app is nice!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bongd:
I thought that'd be good as well. I'm just going to hide it from my app drawer.

This would be a good recommendation to the dev. Or perhaps having another way of loading the app through certain key presses or a hidden shortcut, etc. :cool:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
as far as i've seen the FP scanner is closed hardware and not open to developers yet.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] scoob8000:
I just bought the app too now.

Anyone else have any issues configuring the email alerts? (I already emailed the dev about it, he will look into it.)

I've tried two different servers (both without SSL/TLS).

Both fail showing unable to connect. I ran a tcpdump from my firewall, and here are the two errors I see.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
Concerning the "too many emails", don't forget you can now set up a threshold on failed login before captures !
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Wasn't on failed login. I got a "homescreen accessed" email every time I unlocked.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bongd:
I appreciate the updates, very helpful!

Regarding too many emails, glad the thresh hold is there. But I almost thought it'd be worth it to create a security email address solely for this program. Email space is nearly infinite and I'd rather get extra emails as opposed to compromised security.

Works great though! Love this program.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ahmarchi:
If the thief has any brains all he had to do is hard wipe the phone...lol
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
Theres no such event email. You probably messed with the "screen ON" trigger ! :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
That's funny. I noticed that was what it was when I reinstalled it on 2.3.4 today! LOL

Incidentally, works great on KP's 2.3.4 release!

<edit> Oh, and I have had trouble getting the SMS Remote to work. Maybe I am not using it correctly, but I checked the #whereareyou# box, and when I text from my wife's phone #whereareyou#, I just get that as a text message on my Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
Just corrected the wrong behaviour for non TLS/SSL server ! Have a look to latest 1.3.4 and let me know :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] scoob8000:
1.3.4 fixes my email problem!

Working good now.

[edit]

Just tried the remote sms commands. They all seem to work here. (stock 1.8.3, using handcdent FWIW)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bongd:
You still need to turn the device on. Also there are codes that can be sent remotely to query the GPS coordinates.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
There's a known incompatibility with the latest Go SMS Pro. Are you using GO SMS Pro along ? If yes, you should disable the option which do not let others SMS app to handle SMS.

Let me know
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
Just updated to 1.4.0 ! Now, captures are automatically added to your gallery, in real time. Enjoy !
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Yes I am using GoSMS Pro. If I allow another app to handle SMS, I will get duplicate notifications will I not? Or lose the use of GoSMS Pro?

The texting is a minor issue in my opinion anyway. The pictures, location, and email functions are what I bought this app for.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:
No, just open the genuine SMS application -> settings -> uncheck notifications

Let me know here.

(the guys from GO SMS pro are lamers)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] frankiedizzle87:
Anyone on gb gonna lemme know how it works I have passed the froyo threshold
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nono240:

1- Enable GotYa!

2- Setup a screen lock

Try an erronous login ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
The title of your thread was "how much should I ask for on Craigslist..." so he helped you out with that. You don't need to know the "sold" price in order to know how much you should ask. No need to turn this thread into a war zone.

It looks like the asking prices are between 375 and 525 in your area. So the answer to your first question would be somewhere between those two numbers. The answer to your second question is likely going to be at most 375 (at least while people are selling the phone for that much). Deductive reasoning, while not perfect, can provide all the info you need.

You would be surprised to hear amount and volume of phones sold on CL.

I bought 3 BB fron a guy for 150 each and at the time, I needed 10 more. He was willing to split them for 90-100 each, if I bought all 10 together.

Also toldmr story of a guy who was selling him G2 (top of the line phone at the time) for like 100 bucks, and this dude would sell it for 450 bucks in turn. I am sure that G2 were stolen and haxored.

If you be careful and discrete in CL, it is not a bad place to get stuff.
