Also, just to be sure, what done are you using and who is your provider?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jstndrn:
No, I'm not, sorry for not stating that. It's an HTC Wildfire (CDMA) running on a small network here in NC (Carolina West Wireless).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Slagdude76:
And your provider?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Slagdude76:
Are you Sprint,Verizon..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jstndrn:
Sorry Slag, the name of the Provider is Carolina West Wireless. Anyway, here's my up/down stats since last reboot: pppsent: 1315 pkts ppprecieved: 519 pkts
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tessor99:
Check your apn settings and make sure they match your service providers settings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Slagdude76:
Ok. Honestly,you need to be rooted.LOL. Seriously,it sounds like a network error. I would call customer service,and ask for technical support. If you are with Sprint,ask for technical support. They should be able to walk you through it. Do any of your friends have same phone and network? Check with them,and see if they are having the same issues. You stated that you did a factory data reset,can't remember if that requires reboot. Sure it does,though.Also, try doing a battery pull.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Slagdude76:
Good advice. Have you installed any apps from market,recently
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jstndrn:
Not since the factory reset. Anyway, to be honest I cant find apn settings anywhere. From what I understand it should be settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks> But "Access Point Names" is missing.

What is wifi usb tether? If you plug into pc, select usb tether, you get online. At least, i do. It's built in.

Clean flash?

[Acer Iconia A500] melo1819:
I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 500GB USB 3.0 Ultra-Portable External Hard Drive

I can't get it to mount with my A500.

I'm running Taboonay Custom Rom (4.010_Com_Gen1)

I am Rooted.

I'm On 3.1

Kernel Version 2.6.36.3

I've tried apps like Drive Mount, NTFS Mount and none of them find my hard drive. How do i get it to mount.
[Acer Iconia A500] thebch:
When I had a similar problem this is the steps I went through to finally figure out what was going on:

I checked the portables for what filing system it was using FAT32 or NTFS.

One hdd was running FAT32 so it was automatically appearing under settings as the external usb device

The NTFS would not always be found in Drive mount but I have found if I plug the hdd in before I turn on the Acer then be really really patient after it has booted up it would appear in Drive Mount.

I have found if you go into Drive Mount too quickly after the tablet has fired up it won't be in Drive Mount. There seems to be a delay on reading the USB and I have found that it is nowhere near instantaneous once the tablet has fired up.

Once mounted it appears as /mnt/sdb1 (from memory).

Hope this helps, I find patience when using the tablet the best thing!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] qccoles:
Is there an easier way to active data2ext that I just haven't figured out yet?

Everytime I try a new rom I have to flash data2ext and run the full list of commands in terminal emulator...is there something I'm missing that makes the process a whole lot quicker?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ceejay83:
yea, use link2sd :P
[Optimus One, P500, V General] qccoles:
Is that the same as data2ext? I can get my 1 gig of internal memory?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pbailey212:
Yesjust backup your whole SD card to your computer and format your sdcard, next in recovery go to advanced/partition SD card and pick what size you want, then download and open link2sd and pick ext 3, reboot your phone and reload your SD card from your computer to your phone, and you will be able to link all of your user apps to your sdcard, giving you virtually unlimited space.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] YouArePoop:
Personally, I like data2ext far better than link2sd
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pbailey212:
What's the difference?

Simple2Ext

data2ext automatically installs everything to sd. link2sd you can customize which programs to send to sd.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] holymolys:
havntt tried data2ext, but link2sd works for me, they added a multiselect option recently and you just move all your apps in one go, i have maybe 40 apps and 230mb on my ext, and 60/200mb or so on my internal

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bangalorerohan:
Yeah! I saw the video. It is this. Plus, it is a port and no official or dev release. That means no Phone calling, bluetooth or wifi. Better not think of the port! LOL! Even if it was to be possible, your phone would rather become a music player!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dancegirl:
Even I got a Galaxy SL today. Does that mean i can upgrade to 3.0?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bangalorerohan:
No No. You can't have it on SL and it is not an upgrade it is a port.

Upgrade is upgrading of firmware provided by Samsung

Port is taking an OS which was actually based on another device into an unsuppourted device

This is a port. And isn't meant for Samsung galaxy i9003. We cant have it...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jasspreet:
Wa just asking:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bangalorerohan:
That is no problem bro! But, the port is pretty useless..the word 'Phone' means a device meant for calling and texting on the primary note! But if we do no have these 2 functions, i thing the phone becomes pretty uselss.

They also ported Android on Samsung Wave. But, that was only for jobless people who would sit at home and download apps! Not for people who bought this phone for calling and texting! LOL!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bangalorerohan:
BTW, You have a Wave also, right? I saw you on the Bada forums? Did you see any improvement in sound after changing the sevice menu swettings?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chanw4:
It is a port and you won't get Honeycomb as an update since Honeycomb is tablet only afaik. Not sure about Icecream sandwich tho.

[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Is there a Wifi tether version that works on the x2? I'm rooted of course & supercharged & need something that isn't just ad-hoc. Already tried barnacle & the native app with phone toggle and so far its a bust. Is qpst an option?
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
I'm in the same boat, I used QSPT to get the dun out of my tethering app, but it kept getting replaced.
[Motorola Droid X2] KKellett:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Sorry just read entire post
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
Yeah, that makes an ad-hoc network. Is there an option for infrastructure?
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
This version of wifi-tether works for my win7 nwtbook but not my vista laptop. What do I need to do for the qpst method? Did it in my fascinate by going in with dun enabled. Can't seem to find how to enable it in the x2.
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
As it stands the QPST don't work. as soon as you reboot it overwrites the change.
[Motorola Droid X2] CominWitDaSauce:
I use barnacle with no issue, rooted with v6.
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
The problem is barnacle make ad-hoc also.
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
really? no wifi-hotspot for us yet?

I see the VZW application on my phone, haven't tried it yet though, didn't sign up for it. I wonder do they just charge me for it if I was to use it? Or would they call me up & scold me first?
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
They wont scold you for trying it. ;) But it won't work unless you sign up for the additional service which costs $25 or $29 per month (can't remember which).

Is there no root app that allows us to use the Droid X2 as a wifi tether without the extra monthly charge? I keep seeing references to others who say they are doing this, but no one seems to want to say exactly what app they are using.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
2nd post down
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
did you mean 3rd post down?

again that's ad-hoc, we're all looking to create an actual wi-fi hotspot in infrastructure mode
[Motorola Droid X2] nitwit:
Bump. I wish I understood why some phones can do infrastructure and others not.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
Actually I just tried it and I can connect to the internet with my W7 laptop with that ad-hoc tether program running on my Droid X2. I'm sending this reply over that connection. ;)

I guess, as implied earlier in the thread, W7 makes provisions for ad-hoc. Don't know about other versions of Windows. My Samsung Galaxy Tab cannot see the connection.
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
still looking for a hotspot instead of ad-hoc wireless tether though, got multiple wi-fi devices that I may want to connect...
[Motorola Droid X2] burkett1974:
I am interested in the infrastructure Wifi as well. I am attempting to connect a Color Nook to the DX2 and can't get it to recognize the ad-hoc network.
[Motorola Droid X2] h_10:
for the NC, you have to dload an adhoc wifi supplicant file. then you have to replace the existing wifi supplicant file w/ it and then reboot. your NC should now be able to see and connect to ad hoc networks.

google is your friend.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
FWIW The Wifi Teather program works with the new 2nd Generation B&W nook (at least since firmware update 1.0.1 - don't know if it worked before). So now the ad-hoc wifi teather works with my laptop running Win7 and my completely stock nook. I'm happy ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] j0kawild:
im assuming there is no solution yet. im still using the ad-hoc method for now. but i would love to see a true hotspot
[Motorola Droid X2] 3gwhitelightning:
I don't know why people don't understand that you specifically said infrastructure vs ad hoc. You can use the phone for infrastructure for free.

First use the hotspot app and wait for it to start up.

Hook up your computer and open your browser

when it takes you to verizons website, all is good.

go to your phones dialer and type in *#*#INFO#*#* or *#*#4636

select phone info

go down almost to the bottom and you will see a button that says "turn off radio"

Press this and wait 10 seconds and press it again to turn it back on.

Now when it regains 3g signal you should have internet access on your computer.

You may have to redo this a few times for it to work. It works for me 75% of the time. Sometimes it doesn't work but most of the time it does.

Good luck
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
That's a lot of crap to do just to tether. Any simplier, free way? When I'm up at my grandmother's country house, I have no WiFi and would love to be able to tether. Go there maybe 3 times a month, so it would be useless for me to buy the tethering plan or get an ISP there.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
If you can make do with an ad-hoc connection, barnacle is still free in the market. This is for those of us that need infrastructure mode.
[Motorola Droid X2] j0kawild:
If your only looking to tether then you can use the wifi_tether apk assuming you are rooted.
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
For the 20th time people we're only interested in finding an infrastructure hotspot app. ad-hoc only works with a very select number of devices.

My Company Laptop will not let me connect to ad-hoc networks.

I don't know why you guys are having such a problem with wifi tether. Works 100% fine here. Shows up as infracture, not ad-hoc, so I can connect to it using whatever device. Had a few friends over the other day and tested it. Didn't need to do any silly radio or QPST stuff.

Just download the wifi tether app from Google, the latest beta is fine. Then go into settings->device profile and select Droid X. Works perfectly.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
Not working for me. Downloaded 3.1 beta 6 set to Droid x told it tether but does not show up as available on the computer. Running liberty x2 if that helps.
[Motorola Droid X2] michael7168:
Yes changing the device profile to droid x will now let my computer see the signal but will not connect. Will try on other Droid phones and my ps3 in a while to see if it works. Running vista 64 on laptop and gingerfunk 7a
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Even with the profile set to droidx, it's still really an ad-hoc connection & vista doesn't like it. My personal laptop has vista & it won't let me onto the internet, but my work Netbook has windows7 which works just fine. I believe it's really a kernel issue that allows these apps to mimic ap mode & because we can't alter the kernel we can't get them to work.
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
Agreed, the wifi tether from Google has always worked for me. The wifi tether that came with eclipse v1.whatever didn't work for me so I removed it and installed this in its place.
[Motorola Droid X2] michael7168:
May I ask if it matters which rom we use to make the wifi app work, I know the kernel is the same for all 2.3.4 roms but the build.prop is not. I understand that windows7 is much more compatible but I can't even get my Droid Incredible 2 to see my x2 tethering. I will use pda net for now and thanx for the info
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
Are u using the wifi tether from Google? When u start it, does it request root?
[Motorola Droid X2] michael7168:
Yes it is 3.1 beta 6 from code.google.com and does ask for superuser permission, says config and binary files installed, and no access control because of the kernel. I can't be sure how some of us get to work when the majority can not
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
when you say it doesnt work, u mean ur other devices cant connect to it or they other devices arent even seeing it?
[Motorola Droid X2] michael7168:
First of all thanks for the help booked. My laptop is the only device that sees AndroidTether signal, my ps3 and Incredible 2 do not. My pc will time out trying to connect. The same app works flawless on the incredible 2 but i got to ask does it work on your dx2?
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
When I tried it earlier it didn't even show up. Restarted machine but there was no change. Using beta 6 wifitether from Google on liberty x2 31.

Yep my wifi tether has worked on my X2 on every rom I've tried.

[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
Does the vista machine have wifi?
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Oh yeah & it detects the tether but it just won't connect to it.
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
u could always use wired tether.
[Motorola Droid X2] billmcg:
I thought I read somewhere that the DX2 kernel doesn't support wired tether capabilities, I know I haven't been able to get it to work, not with the Google development apps anyway.
[Motorola Droid X2] :
Is anyone using Barnacle or Open Garden Wifi Tether? I know it is an ad-hoc and a lot of people in this thread are interested not in infrastructure, but I want to tether my X2 to my iTouch and it connects and shows it is on the wifi network, but internet does not work on the iTouch. Also, my phone does not recognize it has any clients connected.

Anyone run into this issue or know how to fix this? Or even a different/ app program to try? Thanks!

(I am rooted running on 2.3.4 w/ no custom ROM on Verizon)

I use barnacle & it works for everything I have but my windows vista laptop. It is an ad-hoc connection though, so that may be your issue. I don't know enough about the iTouch to be sure though.

Yes, Foxfi works and even if you are not rooted. The Access Point is infastructure mode with WPA security. I used it on my X2 and my laptop had no problems.
[Motorola Droid X2] Looneytoon98:
Please forgive me if my suggestion sounds ludicrous, but wouldn't it be easier if some of you just tethered via bluetooth? The DX2 is one of very few phones that actually has this profile. I mean, I'm reading some of the posts and I sense a lot of frustration so I'm not expecting a flaming party. BT PAN does not require root or any terminal line commands. If your laptop has BT, just pair it and click on "join a personal network" and that's it. BTW, the speeds are the same whether I tether through wi-fi or BT. Wireless Tether 2.0.7 has always been my choice because it still allows BT tethering (which I don't use, but it's there).

I use an iPad 3 daily and my DX2 shares internet through the PAN connection, uses a lot less battery than wi-fi and doesn't get the battery hot. As I mentioned, speeds are the same anyway. Just a suggestion.
[Acer Iconia A500] kylepotts:
I just got an iconia. I am about to root it. I just have one question. I know that sometimes when running a rom my old phone would lock up and I would have to pull out the battery. I know you can't do this when the iconia. So lets say the iconia freezes with a custom rom on it. How would I go about "pulling out the battery"(or similar)

I am also kinda of concerned about roms. How long lasting are they? Are the Devs here to stay like Cyan? Or should I just root and keep stock. Any help would be great! Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Best way to unfreeze it microwave on thaw setting!

[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
BTW there's ALSO a reset hole, just use a pencil/paper clip, that way even if holding the power button fails reset does not fail, it only makes a reboot, no info is lost so no worries :) but don't press it too long, may be like HTC will factory reset... no one has confirmed this or I just haven't read it here in XDA. Actually everyone acts like theres no reset hole, like it doesn't exist... some times I think its just my imagination :/ but there's a hole below USB and it says reset ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
Yes the reset hole exists; haven't tried it yet though.

I wouldn't worry too much about running other roms. It's pretty easy to flash, wipe, try..rinse and repeat. And you can always flash back to stock rom. After rooting, you could even try deleting some of the crapware included in the stock rom just to optimize it a bit.

I've run a ridiculous amount of roms on my EVO just to try and because I could when the stock one functioned just fine. And really isn't that why were all here, trying to get more than most out of a mass produced product.
