This did work for me, but... I'm not sure you've found all the issues just yet. I ran about a dozen speed tests from speedtest.net and WiFi Tether seems very inconsistent and slow. Barnacle on the other hand is fast and smooth. I'm in a fringe area and Barnacle gives me 400k to 500k speed that is quite consistent. WiFi Tether on the other hand, while it does now work with this workaround, is about 100k up and down and it is very inconsistent and it stalls a lot. I'll stick with Barnacle for now because it seems to work well with no issues.

My only problem with barnacle is my tablet doesn't see it when its on...

Wifi-tether 3.0 pre-14 works fine for me with 3G without changing a thing...can't test 4G since its not available.
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
pre-14 with this works great over 4g, seems nicely sped up. Thanks Haus

My phone is S-Off and I have root, but for some reason why I go to "adb shell" it gives me "$" instead of "#". Also, "su" says permission denied. How to run adb shell as root?
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
This is great find. But are you running AdHoc or AD.

After this workaround I still can't get Wifi Tether to work. It connects gets IP address slowy on client and then just sits there. Data won't transfer.

The Sprint Hot Spot works fine on 3G, but I didn't test it for speed.

[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
Did anyone get this work around to work?

If so are you running Ad-Hoc or AD?

Does it work on both 3G and 4G?
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
Here is a flashable zip made by JoelZ9614. It unlocks the stock hotspot (shows up as a router, not ad-hoc) and unlocks 3D sense homescreen. Works on 3G and (reportedly) 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] jnyer27:
xhaux,

Thanks for this, preliminary testing shows it works. I would suspect that Barnacle does something similar? What made you choose the MTU value you chose?
[HTC EVO 3D] clark44:
Yo haus anyway us devs can iimplement this into our roms?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikebgb12:
flashable zip -- 4g does not work. gives error not subscribed :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
thanks for letting me know, what rom are you on?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikebgb12:
im on shooters right now. ive tried it on 4 different roms now. 4g will not work natively on sprint's hotspot. 3g works fine. would love for some1 crack this lol
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Well, works for me. :)

I haven't tried it on 4G yet but ad hoc & infrastructure work fine.

I believe Barnacle probably sets it to the usual default of 1500. If you set it to that wifi tether will work but it is painfully slow(er). I just doubled the E3D's default and hoped it would be the right size when the packets got fragmented(split into smaller chuncks). If someone has the time to play around with it some youthey could probably find a better MTU that would allow for even better speeds.

For sure, it is originally set in the build.prop and once set the value is, IIRC, saved under /data/system.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I think Barnacle changes this setting to 1500 by default, which works but is an extremely inefficient setting to use on Sprint's 3G. Hence why it is so slow.

It's still using the stock MTU then. I'm pretty sure what's happening is the data's being lost in a PMTUD black hole. It'll work when transferring small amounts of data but when you start using more bandwidth it gets flooded with error messages and starts ignoring you.

Check to see if it's changing it by replacing setprop with getprop, if it did set correctly try rebooting your phone or turning airplane mode on and off.
[HTC EVO 3D] orangegator:
Encryption?

I've got the 3.1 beta2 installed and did this tweak. Wifi tether works fine for me with encryption disabled. But with it enabled, I can't get internet access. I'm sure I'm using the right passphrase and my laptop connects to tether. But I can't get data. Barnacle tether works fine for me with wep enabled. Any suggestions? Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] unknown1205:
i flashed this and now if if i goto menu->settings. nothing happens. also my GPS icon in the notification bar has a strike across it so its off? the clear button on the notification window is gone also. and my battery use icon disappeared.
[HTC EVO 3D] jglatz:
Another before & after result set...

Properties set as advised... For download, I saw an increase to 0.21mbps from .13mbps on the computer and 819kbps to 4.52mbps (!) on the phone. Interestingly, the upload jumped from .12mbps to 1.13mbps on the computer and on the phone. All tests through speedtest.net site (WinXPsp2 PC) & app (Viper1.2, Evo3D). NYC (midtown) with 2 "bars" of 4G.

The WiFi Tether app never let me down on my Evo 4G, but it has been really sketchy with my 3D. The phone always tests much faster than any device connected through WiFi Tether. Barnacle has been flaky as well. The cracked Sprint HS with Viper tests well, but browsing seems to be slower.

Thx -jg
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
4G may not need it as much but if you're getting those speeds normally with 4G than their network there is being hammered. If you have a couple bars and aren't covering the top of your phone (antennas) than you should be able to get at min 2mb down on 4G. There could also be so many signals around the your phone is having a hard time hearing the tower with all the background noise. In that case something smaller like 750 or 736 may actually work better.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
This zip is known to break settings for some people I found out. For me it didnt, but for others it did. Restore a NANDROID if it didnt work for you. Sorry if it caused u any problems
[HTC EVO 3D] starkillers:
Will changing this setting have any adverse effect on anything else on the phone?

wireless tether

Thank you :D
[HTC EVO 3D] taiguy:
Thanks!

After choosing the Evo 4G profile and enabling the route fix I could get to google and search just fine, but any other webpages would just sit there and spin.

Changing the MTU size did the trick though and now I can tether over 3G just fine!
[HTC EVO 3D] JudasD:
there is a line in the build prob limiting the mtu to 1472. If you comment out this line then the wifi tether program works just fine on 3g.

#persist.data_netmgrd_mtu=1472

with max set at 1472, this is actually setting your max mtu to 1444 (1472 - 28 for header) verified by any pings bigger than 1444 failing. removing the line sets the max to 1500. now you will be at 1500-28 which is 1472 and you can verify this by pinging. Everything should work fine now.

[HTC EVO 3D] wrxlvr:
What is the syntax for doing this from the terminal emulator? It looks like it's expecting greater than and lesser than signs, but I'm not sure where to put them.

setprop persist.data netmgrd mtu 2944

[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Syntax is the same

[Samsung Infuse 4G] varun12:
I tried looking online a lot but I wasn't able to get the details anywhere

I was wondering, you know how captivate has it's own GPU does Infuse 4g

has it's own graphic card too or just a good fast processor ?

I am planning to buy it but if it won't be able to play games and all then I don't

see how will such a big screen will be of any use to me ?

I am planning to switch it with my Xperia Arc, I know Arc has a superior camera and audio quality but please prove me otherwise if you can.

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
all samsung processors use the powervr graphics chip. its a system on a chip so all the components are actually on one chip. all modern phones have this. you cant have android without hardware accelerated 3d graphics. i do have to say, this is the fastest graphics processor ive seen on a mobile device, even faster than the nvidia tegra2.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] varun12:
Thanks for the quick response.

How good is the camera? cuz on my Arc it's amazing but I haven't heard anything bad about Infuse either so ur impression ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pilotgod:
I'm very impressed with the camera. I have a Sony 8.1MP pont and shoot from a few years back that was my default pocket camera when I didn't want to lug a big DSLR around. Since getting the Infuse, I just leave it and use the phone for my point and shoot needs. It works great outdoors and in good lighting, but does struggle a bit with low light.There are plenty of features that make it on par with any other midrange camera out there and as one of the top phone cameras available.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Camera is great. 8MP and records 720p HD. I've used it and pictures come out real clear.

[Xperia Play General] Yourmama:
I don't know whats wrong, I was also experiencing the same problem with Samurai vengeance 2 and Asphalt 6, Maybe reinstall? or clear cache?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
I have many games on my play 100+ and i prob have 300+ apps alltogether. 55 games in my play launcher too :) i dont have any problems like this, games start up fast and run smoothly, and i usually have around 120mb of free ram when device is idol. maybe you should just try a hard reset and start again :) or like Yourmama said, try clearing data/cache for the apps that dont work proply :)
[Xperia Play General] Pyrocat:
Mine used to do this too- I could not find a fix so had it replaced by my network provider and games working fine. It was force closing pre-loaded games like Bruce Lee and Sims3 and it also affected Asphalt 6. No problems since on my new one.
[Xperia Play General] Yourmama:
For me Asphalt 6 wouldn't even start >.< it would play the first video of the game and once I skip it or it is done it would freeze and the loading and then just quit out :(
[Xperia Play General] hexen2006:
This is because the DRM, the game automatically signs into gameloft server to obtain a license via wifi... (I think 3g works too. but i have it blocked as i don't have a data plan), once it is done. you are good to go.

I read somewhere you have to do this license thing once, while in other boards somebody said you have to do it everytime you shut down / turn on your phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anti-derivative:
I just want to understand what the differences in kernel codes really mean, and how they are tied to the device.

I bought an SGS2 from 3 UK in May, it had KE1 on it, and ultimately I rooted it using a KE7 kernel from Chainfire's thread. Everything worked fine. The phone was recently stolen.

So I got another from 3 UK, and it came with KF4 on it... Why is there a completely different letter kernel? What is the difference between KE* and KF*.

And how are these tied to the device? Since my device has a KF kernel, does that mean it will always and only be compatible with KF kernels? Does this mean the device 3 gave me this time, is actually different in hardware from the one I received a few months ago?

Also, referencing Chainfire's thread, his kernels carry a number of codes in their names http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399. He clearly says to match the (K*) code, so that would logically mean my KF4 would correspond to his ZS_OZS_KF4 kernel. What does ZS_OZS mean? Is that not something to do with the CSC? If 3 UK's CSC is H3G, then why does the OZS kernel match?

Sorry, I know these are a lot of discrete questions, but I would like to better understand all this terminology and the meanings of it all. Since I'm somewhat late to the Android/Smartphone party, it appears that everyone just throws around these terms like it is already common knowledge. So any help catching up would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
AB comes before GH 1 comes before 2.

Codes are one month of release and number of release ,So KE7 is before KG2 .

So in your case KF was built the month after KE .

Always best to do as instructed and match kernel .

Hardware is identical firmware is the operating system the kernel the modem the apps etc .

CSC are country specific settings only .

Product code = phone identity that gives its firmware upgrade path via Kies .

Official branded firmware from the vendor .

XDA firmware is generic stock Samsung firmware not belong to any network as will be all modified firmwares .

Chainfires will be laid out in the format XEU KG2 ,

XEU area for that firmware = Europe KG2 the release number of the firmware .

Samfirmware see letter code .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anti-derivative:
hey thanks that helps quite a bit.

If I'm on KF4, and Chainfire has releases for KG, why is it better to 'match' to KF?? rather than using a newer kernel like KG?? At what point *can* I update to a newer month's kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Better as in we know its compatible .

Kernels are not released by Samsung its a whole firmware .

You have KF4 firmware Android 2.3.3 KG is or maybe 2.3.4 so possible mismatch where you to just install a later kernel .

Usual XDAers rout with a new phone is remove branding by flashing latest firmware for the relevant area . Stock firmware is way ahead of network released firmware . So you could upgrade to KG2 full firmware Root by flashing Chainfires KG2 root kernel .

Follow that up by installing a custom rom if so desired .

Warranty Root and Custom firmware both invalidate warranty .

Thats overcome by either flashing original branded rom or flashing a stock rom they will remove root .

A usb jig is sourced to reset custom rom counter to zero if so required .

USB recovery jig is a must have as it resets yellow triangle removes rom count and can load a bricked phone to download mode when the phone does not respond.

SGS2 unbrickable no its 99% unbrickable 99% recoverable from a brick . Though those that dont bother to read and follow the instructions will have a higher risk .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anti-derivative:
okay cool, that is very clear then.

Since i'm in the UK, if I wanted to use stock firmware, and wanted to use the newest, I'd be best off finding an XEU_Kxx versioned one. Where Kxx is the most recent release.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odia:
Why is it that everyone says XEU is Europe? Its not Europe its United Kingdom and Ireland.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anti-derivative:
The samfirmware page has loads of firmwares for Europe. Many of them say 'Multi-CSC'. How does that work? Does this mean you must set the CSC after you install the firmware? Or does ODIN autoassign it when you flash or does it just not really matter what the CSC is at all?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Its a multi location CSC that you use with many areas in the CSC Include inside Europe and United Kingdom . .

Well you have a self assigned IP address which is not going to get you anywhere. Try rebooting your phone or restarting the hotspot app.

[HTC Sensation] gibbo82:
And I'm considering getting the sensation, can anybody tell me wether it's worth the upgrade!?

Many thanx ;)
[HTC Sensation] Taknarosh:
I've reviewed both phones and I say yes it's worth it.

I'm a big fan of solid overall construction and while the Arc was really sexy it felt a tad cheap and a bit fragile.

The Sensation feels solid.

Then of course there is the Dual core, more ram, etc
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
Yes, if you were getting it for free. You have to say how much you have to pay for the upgrade, in order for others to tell you whether it is worth it.

Is there any thing about the Xperia Arc that you don't like? That you must get rid of and get a new device? The Xperia Arc is a rather new, slim, and nice device with a good camera.

Granted, it doesn't have dual core, but does that really matter? I mean, if one is buying a new device today, he/she'd better get one with dual core. But that doesn't mean anyone without a dual core phone needs to go get one.

This is just the first wave of high power dual core phones. The Xperia Arc is a modern and rather new device to be upgraded from. As much as I like my Sensation, I would hold on to it till the next wave of high end device comes, probably some time around the end of this year, if I were you.
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
i owned the sensation for a month now and im loving it especially with S-off now. It really isnt worth the upgrade for you now because the xperia arc is good device. if you really want to upgrade, do it or you can wait till the hercules comes out or the new nexus

Could you b abit more basic matey, hehe. You've confused me! :s

Uve rooted ya sensation, and flashed it with a different rom! ?
[HTC Sensation] armoguy94:
It's really not worth the upgrade. If you're one of those people who always have to have the latest and greatest and seem to have money growing off of trees, get it; I don't really care, lol. Otherwise, if not, my sound advice is to hold off and calm yourself. You have a good device. I spent 2 years with a G1 and just upgraded to a Sensation. Being low on money, I returned the Sensation and am borrowing a friend's old MyTouch 4G which is good running MIUI.
[HTC Sensation] gibbo82:
I would say I'm one of these people who get bored of a phone within 6 months unfortunately :( I bought my arc, so I ain't tied down to a contract with it, but I do have a vodafone contract which is now due a upgrade, so I'm tempted to get a free upgrade. Like I said, the arc is a nice phone, I just don't like the ui anymore, blue this, blue that lol. I'm only interested in the sensation as the new htc sence looks lush :)
[HTC Sensation] armoguy94:
OK, get it then if you want. There's really not much to say. If you could wait it out, I would still suggest getting a better phone. You can wait a few more months without a problem I'm sure, and get a Nexus Prime or something ;)
