Where I last left off, I found that dhcpcd was still running after terminating the initial successful Bluetooth tether. Pre-3.2, both kbnepd and dhcpcd would be stopped.

Killing dhcpcd before attempting a re-tether may be an interim solution. On my device (MZ604 Wi-Fi, 3.2 stock, rooted), if I killed the orphaned dhcpcd process, I could re-tether successfully without a reboot. Savvy users with root, please try this on your device and let me know your feedback:

From a fresh boot, initiate a successful Bluetooth tether

Before terminating the tether, bring up a terminal/adb shell

Run ps, note the kbnepd and dhcpcd processes and their pid's

Terminate the tether

In the terminal/adb shell, run ps again

Note the absence of kbnepd, but dhcpcd still running (same pid as before)

kill dhcpcd

Try re-tethering via Bluetooth

I compared getprop during a successful tether with that after terminating the tether to see if there was a property change which we could use as an init trigger for a hack (kill dhcpcd when x = y), but there was no change. kbnepd doesn't even show on getprop, unfortunately, at least on my device.

Note also that the 3.2 update patches dhcpcd (brd also pointed out changes to ramdisk [init.stingray.rc] regarding dhcpcd) and libnetutils. Comparing logcats between 3.1 and 3.2 and digging through pre-Honeycomb source code gives some indicators that the bug might be in libnetutils. Time wasn't very permitting for me to continue following up on it this week, however.

Until we find a better solution, I was considering putting together a quick and dirty 1x1 widget which rooted users could tap to manually kill dhcpcd before re-tethering. I'll await feedback first on whether manually killing dhcpcd (steps above) works for others. So lemme know. :D
[Xoom General] McDV:
I've tried it, with no result.

For me there isn't the problem that dhcpcd isn't terminated. Anyway, I've tried to "su kill dhcpcd", but it doesn't help at all...

The idea with libnetutils.so sound good. So I've tried to replace it with the one from 3.1. Unfortunately it ended up in bootloops. ;) Maybe someone could try to fix libnetutils.so :)
[Xoom General] McDV:
Does s.o. know, if it would be possible, to port the DHCP-client from 3.1 to 3.2? Maybe it would be sufficient to just copy mor than only /system/bin/dhcpcd or libnetutils.so. But I don't know which files need to be copied to not end up into bootloops.

For the moment I downgraded to 3.1, but that's not really satisfying...
[Xoom General] McDV:
No fixes, workarounds or other solutions by now? OK, looks like I'll have to stay at 3.1 'till Ice Cream Sandwich. ;-)
[Xoom General] jss42:
Same issue here, very irritating!
[Xoom General] McDV:
Anyway, it seems that we, who want to use bluetooth-tethering, are a minority, so no one really cares. Neither Google, nore the devs here. ;-) Not even the Tiamat-Team seems to care.

Maybe we'll have to wait until Ice Cream Sandwich is released or maybe there is a 3.2.1 or 3.3 update...

I think it would be possible to port the DHCP-client from 3.1 to 3.2 to solve the problem, but I don't know how.

So the only workaround is using 3.1 - optionally with Tiamat 1.4.4 kernel, because Tiamat 2.1 doesn't work with 3.1 anymore.

[HTC EVO 3D] robheb:
I just upgraded from Evo to Evo 3D. The Google contacts all synch'ed just fine and show up in my "People".

But when I get a text or a call from many of them, it does not associate the incoming message/call with a name, only a phone number. (But some DO have the correct name associated.)

And yet when I dial out to a number, once it connects the correct name will associate with the number.

Even repeated back and forths with the contact does not fix the problem.

All thoughts/input most welcome.

Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] hchavarria:
So far all of mine seem to have come in correctly, one thing I would look at is if something in the number between what is coming in and what is on the contact is different any thus maybe not associating this contact.
[HTC EVO 3D] nabbed:
Try this.

Find each one which shows up as an email, unlink, relink by first selecting the one which has an actual name, not email.

hi all, im using samsung galaxy sl.

i wan to download mp3 from mp3.sogou.com.

when i click the download button in the download page, i only manage to download the html of that page but not the mp3, so i wonder what is the problem....

i try to download apk from some website too, same thing happen.

the file showed to be download is .apk, but when downloading, it is .html.

when done, i open it, it is the html of the page that contains the download.

is there anyway to download mp3/apk from website (through internet)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Galaid:
Try opera mobile or install "download all files" from the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] erkutbaba:
''musicbox turkce'' apk downloads mp3 songs..try it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
I'm not 100% sure if this works, but download astro file manager, free from the market...go to options/preferences and there is an option to download all file types, select that and see how it goes...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] otc0101:
thanks all, i will try all the suggestion.

Btw, i tried "download all files".. can't solve the problem, it still download the HTML instead of the file i want

Anyone have experience with these? They're less expensive than other brands, I've had GREAT success with Samsung Harddrives......

I'm looking at a 32GB class 4 or better. There's a bunch of no-name cards on Ebay but who knows if they'll work or not?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey.t.m:
From my experience memory cards from eBay are no good. They usually die rather quickly. I'm content with Kingston or some generic type. An 8GB micro sd here is about $10-15. Haven't failed me yet.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
I need a 16G in my spare phone so I thought I'd look for a 32G to put in the MT4G and move the 16G to the spare phone.

I think I'd be OK with a 16G but I'd like some more room, I've got a bunch of ROMs on the card plus movies, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:
i noticed with my inspire (coredroid7 + setcpu to 200mhz when screen off) that there is no internet connection. i have apps like groove ip that requires connection and if disconnected would not work when the screen is off. note: when screen comes on, after 5-10 seconds all network related stuff reconnect. a

i do not know if this is a function of setting the cpu too low and/or other settings i have to adjust. not sure where to begin and search for "lose network screen off" doesnt produce much.

edit: question is primarily focusing on wifi connection. i currently do not have mobile connection yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dtorrez1883:
If its your wifi it could be goin to sleep. Go to Settings>Wireless&Networks>WiFi Settings>Menu>Advanced>WiFi Sleep Policy and make sure Never is selected. I think After 15 Mins. is selected by default to help with the battery.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] natehoch96:
I have made two HTC Sense skins (with two different versions of each, Froyo and Gingerbread) that are available in the market for only $.99. Take a look at the screenshots below and please consider purchasing them, they are available for Froyo and Gingerbread Sense phones and do not require root! They are applied directly into the 'Skin' section of the 'Personalize' setting. Froyo and Gingerbread market links below each picture. Enjoy!

Google Skin:

Froyo Market Link - Gingerbread Market Link

WhiteSense Skin:

Froyo Market Link - Gingerbread Market Link

OR, you can search natehoch96 on the Market and find them that way.

I'll continue to make skins so check my website periodically for updates. Also, you can request a skin on my website as well.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] M3PH:
I've Given up searching, i've been at it for about a week. So now i'm gonna ask. Does anyone know where i can find a HTC Windows mobile 6.5 emulator image that contains Sense 2.5? Coz i can't find one and it would make developing my current project so much easier.

Thoughts, links, etc all very appreciated
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Wolfas:
I would like to get this kind of image too to experiment a bit and continue developing my idea of WM emulation on Android, no matter how stupid that might sound :D

If the project goes ahead I can do tester

is there an app for gingerbread that can change the transition animation for the homescreen on a sense based? I already know ADW can do it with in its own application but any other alternatives?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] strapped365:
What are you looking for it to do and what are you running now?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] notsointeresting:
If you use Mikshift there is a version for 3D Sense 3.0 rosie
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] strapped365:
If you use MikShifted-G I have a version released with the 3d Rosie and widgets, but if your still on mikshift 1.1(Froyo Build) then there are metamorphs you can use as some type of animations I just forget what all they do It's been a while since using them
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] popasmurfn23:
Im on mikshited-g 1.1 executive do you have that zip for rosie?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] strapped365:

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] popasmurfn23:
Okay i have metamorph installed and i wanna know what files do i need to install to change the way my screen animates? Example im on my sense homescreen and i swipe my finger to the left to go to the next page and my screen animates like a 3d cube ect.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] strapped365:
I know the metamorph files that we used to use was for mikshift froyo im not sure if they will work on the MikShiftedG or not or if there is a carousel one for metamorph.you can check at themikmik under mishift themes and mods and see what they got and if they will work
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] popasmurfn23:
yeah i visited the page but thats just for transistions i already use AnimMod for that. Im looking for animations for when i swipe my finger from left to right on the dock pages??

Does anyone know if T-mobile locked phone in US will work with UK T-mobile sim card? (without being unlocked)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcjpth:
:confused:Does anyone know where the instruction will that be? I downloaded the FW from Asus support site, and looking for update my TF to the FW I jus downloaded from Asus. I remember I saw some screenshot instruction but couldn't find it anymore. (The reason I want to update my TF because there was an update on 16th or 17th from Asus messing up the TF charging 2hr for 1% charged...that's crazy!)

thx,

rcjpth
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoTeC:
The firmware I find on their website was released 6/10/11 and is 8.4.4.5 US. This is not the FW released this past weekend 8.4.4.11. The manual update instructions are also available on the website as WW SKU_Firmware Update SOP.

Or...... you could read the no less than 5 threads regarding how to do this... :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcjpth:
Dude, for some reason, this weekend fw update caused my tablet won't be charging at all or very very slow on charging like 1%/2hr and it even doesn't show charging when the tablet is on - I had to leave it off and knowing it being charged now - I'm going to leave this for 24hr and let see how much juice it will be charged - otherwise I will get another tablet via my "accidental damage insurance" by Walmart..

Lesson learned ...if the device works as you expected/wanted to - DO NOT UPDATE FW or anything from the manufacturer!

rcjpth
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoTeC:
I am not sure if backdating is possible without issues, that may be a question for one of our gurus... I haven't heard of this issue from other members. I read your other post and I don't think the 8.4.4.11 update did anything to the battery dock as others have posted. Might be worth a battery widget to see an actual graph and mA charging and temperatures. There are a bunch of dual battery widgets available. Search dual battery widget in the Market or on the forum. Good luck!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] khanable:
if they leave it vanilla they need to fix a lot of bugs

Ill use whatever works best and right now the touchwiz leak is the most stable for me
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nMIK-3:
Bugs created because Samsung put their hands on major Android Elements.

Everything that Samsung touches in the software department its taking the curse of not working or being buggy.

They are making superior hardware, really the BEST hardware around and yet they killing it by touching the software. Not only that but yet they never support it or issue updates.

Samsung (and many other OEMS) just need to let their stupid customization let GO.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smaskell:
I could not agree more. This is exactly why I have a nexus one and why will be getting the nexus 3/nexus prime/whatever it's called. I can't really complain about the galaxy tab since I got mine for free(google i/o) but.. still. I don't know why they think that they know better than google. it's just ridiculous.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] doctor3d:
So how long have you been trying out Touchwiz on the tablet? What sort of bugs have you seen with it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] khanable:
Exactly

Touchwiz is far less buggy than stock right now
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] just4747:
I agree. It's a little laggy here and there, but it's faster for me than stock or Bonsai for some reason. And to be honest, it looks way nicer. I love the skinning and different notification panel.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] duraeas:
I just ordered mine off eBay from the US to replace my Xoom, which I found heavy and the screen sucked. I hope the TouchWiz update is released soon, I really like some of the elements they've added. As much as I enjoy stock, I really do like that Samsung adds things like expanded format support to get hardware acceleration without my having to re-encode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mlhdk:
Yeah, thats exactly the same with some developer of some roms. . .they also act as they know more than both google and samsung. . .LOL
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bouyark:
Maintain certain basic standard

I've had my share of nightmare with Samsung's T Mobile Vibrant with it's broken GPS and slow to lack of updates and bug fixes. As much as Touchwiz may work well on the 10.1 for now,the solution to the bugs found in Honeycomb rest squarely on the shoulders of Google. Google owns the platform and no OEM should be allowed to change the core underlying code for any reason.

While the platform should remain open, the core OS functions should be locked from OEM.

Take a page from Apple's playbook in this regard Google.

As the happy owner of the G1,My touch 3G, Nexus 1, T Mobile Vibrant, Nexus S, 7 inch Galaxy Tab and now the 10.1 Galaxy Tab, the most update and bug fixes were pushed to the vanilla devices (Nexus 1 and Nexus S)

While Samsung makes great hardware, their bad repution for pushing out updates and bordeline performance with their overlay are all the more reason why they should leave the 10.1 vanilla or at the very least make the Touchwiz update optional.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bobdude5:
Vanilla android is lacking in so many departments. The manufacturer customizations add useful features that make the devices more enjoyable (except for blur). The touchwiz ux for the tab is amazing. It looks much more polished, and it has much more useful features than stock honeycomb. Same with phones, all though i personally do not like touchwiz for phones, there are many that do. I prefer sense for phones, it has the best UI and a ton of useful features that make HTC phones a joy to use, especially with the latest sense 3.0 devices.

If it werent for the custom UI's, there would be no differentiation among competition. All the handsets/tablets would be running the same exact thing with pretty much the same specs, which was what was happening with all the honeycomb tablets.

And to be honest, touchwiz is running much more smoother and much less buggy than the vanilla 3.1 did.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] brennanyama:
Although I see where you're coming from, I disagree. While its true that leaving the OS open to manufacturer modification can have it's problems, closing the system would defeat the purpose of utilizing a linux based operating system in the first place...kinda goes against the philosophy of open source. Might as well just pull an apple and lock down the entire thing (it works for them...in a manner of speaking)

One could argue that google is at fault for witholding the SC, but at the same time, that's to prevent the fragmentation issues seen in gingerbread. Googles doing the best they can with what they have. If the Samsung wants to fart around with code that they "shouldnt", and make the experience of their device worse, it will show in their sales. If pure vanilla HC is truly the best course of action (a decision based off OVERALL customer opinion), it will be the course of they will eventually take (at least that's the idea anyway...I'm definitely not saying manufacturers tend to make stupid decisions).

Just goes to show there's problems on both sides of the spectrum. sometimes, you just cant have your cake and and eat it too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] suprexus:
I can agree that TW is working a lot better then stock HC. And it's more appealing to the eye.

I have been having major signal issues with my inc2 (leaked RUU installed) so I called and have a warranty replacement on the way

I am curious if anyone has gotten a warranty replacement in the last week, and WHICH software was installed on it? I am banking on 2.2 still being ont here so i can S-off the phone....please let me know if you know....

thanks!

It will b 2.3.3....I'm coming from a fascinate and my dinc2 will b here Friday....expecting 2.3.3
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mikejaret:
you think they have actually taken the time to take EVERY single refurb and update them instead of just NOT doing it and having the phone force the update upon activation?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
That's the point of a refurb though, to be brand new so to speak. so it will 9/10 be updated software.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scottishwarrior:
I got my fascinate to inc2 switch with a refurbished on wed last week and it came with 2.2. Just a fyi.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
It is a mixed bag with refurbished versions. I currently have a little screen separation going on but I am dealing with it because I don't want to lose root or get stuck in Verizon refurbish hell.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] REDSCARFACE1:
Replacement phones are 80% of the time broke and fixed get insurance 100% new
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
You are right about the broke part, not so much with the fix.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I have to say my refurbs have been fine. for both inc1 and inc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
If I get a new one from insurance would that still be 2.2 or will it be updated?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
no one can say for sure.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mykenyc:
Mines left yesterday, should be getting it Thursday or Friday, so i hope it still have 2.2. I too think it's a roll of the dice, because they would literally have to replace ALL the phones, it would be better to just let the user update it, but we will see.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
This was an issue back when I had the Eris, and I needed a refurb, and the same thing, I tried asking before they sent it out and they said that it's most likely going to be sent with the updated software, if it a refurb..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
I have to ask. I see so many people on here saying they got the DInc 2 from a Fascinate (Same thing I'm doing now) so I'm sure you are all familiar with the Fascinate. How come there isnt anything like the stock ODIN files that can be used on a Fascinate?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Whitepaint:
Because Samsung and HTC have totally different ways of debugging/developing and use different tools. The Eris is the same way, with S-OFF and all that jazz with the bootloader. IMO the Odin App made recovering from meltdowns and updating things like the radio VERY easy which was nice. But for some reason this simplicity also led to MORE bricks as all it took for a while to brick your phone was to hit the dreaded phone button instead of the "PDA" button in Odin...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] beenz:
I already miss Odin. It was so ridiculously easy to do anything with it. You didn't even need to root to flash a custom rom. Just Odin CWM, boot directly into it, and flash the rom. And very easy to go back to stock and not leave a trace of root. Unlike the current inability to go back to S-On...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
100% agree. Someone needs to dev a way to do that for this phone.
