Depending on your patience, the native hotpot app works fine by turning it on, allowing your wireless device to connect to it, then toggling the radio on / off a few times from the phone settings menu accessed thru the dialer (*#*#4636#*#*). Pins the "paid" data pipeline to your normal 3g stream.
[Motorola Droid X2] RacerXFD:
There was a thread about this is the fascinate forums...

Basically, the only way to prevent verizon to figure out that you are teathering is by using a kernel that blocks it.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Even then, if they want to really look there's a way they van tell on their end through packet timing or signatures or something.
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
there was a bigger thread about this method somewhere here wasn't there Gary?

I know I saw it somewhere...
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
I'm sure there is but this idea was kicked around for the fascinate before the qpst hack came out.
[Motorola Droid X2] legoman666:
Worked for me. GF and I used it on her X2 (with no tether plan, data only) when the DSL was out for a few hours.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
If they're doing packet inspection, you know how SLOW that would make their network, and how much resources that would take up? Wouldn't be worth it to them. They are most definitely not doing packet inspection. They could possibly suspect something if you have high data usage. But then again, I have high data usage all the time, cause of my job, I run a business, I'm constantly downloading things, sending and receiving text messages through GV and emails, plus I have Google Plus backup all my pics and videos to a private album online. I use able 10-15 GB a month.

I wasn't able to get that wireless tether app to work... or the barnacle thing. It says it's on and everything but I can't see a network being broadcasted, nothing shows up on my website that resembles a phone or open network.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Have you tried the radio toggle? This works for me with the native hotspot app. The packet info issue was something that a vzw tech on the fascinate forums said they COULD do to verify tethering if it was suspected. I was just trying to add that they do have ways to detect it based on what was shared by him. Whether it's practical for them isn't the issue, the point being that no tethering method is completely invisible.

Hello,

noob here (you were noob too before)

I got my HTC Sensation from ebay (the market is not US, not sure what it is though), I downloaded HTC Sync,

when I connect the phone (on HTC Sync mode) to the computer, I get a window on the phone saying "trying to find HTC Sync on your computer", remains for almost half a minute, then I get a message on the phone saying please make sure HTC Sync is installed on PC.

Meanwhile, HTC Sync on PC (Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate) keeps telling me no device is connected.

Helllllp.

I wanted to flash XXKPE so I backed up with TiB and connected phone in Mass Storage mode but the phone is not recognised. There is no sound of new device being connected. The phone charges but does not mount. Till a few days back everything was okay but suddenly this problem. Please advice.

Edit : I tried different cables and problem not resolved. Also connected Wave2 phone and it connects, so something in the phone. I feel the Legend-X theme which gives a sound message "Recharge Enabled" when I connect is somehow responsible.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] vivekkalady:
@jesrani

did you here a sound when you connect the phone to the computer ???

(a found new hardware sound in windows)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jesrani:
Maybe I can try but not sure if this is the problem. Normally when a device is connected, Windows makes a sound indication a new connection and then loads the drivers. In this case there is no sound but the mobile charges and also the cable works for other mobile.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vivekkalady:
the charge will work because of the voltage from the USB

have you tried enabling/disabling the USB debugging Mode
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trip007in:
I do not have any problem with it dude. This fw is stable among previous releases of gb but results are different on different devices. For instance.after flashing 8 -10 times, I could not root it the way others are rooting the phone. I had to use an agree flashing the cwm. Done ppl have kernel panic making it un usable. I donot have single kernel panic. So its not theme,.may be something else. May be others who are using the theme can opine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jesrani:
You are right, it was not the theme, but don't know what was the problem. Probably the cable. Resolved by itself. Now flashed KPE and in process of setting up, can't wait to install your theme on this.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Bruce Lee:
ATRIX users, check this camera app out. It has 1080p working. I will post more results when I do more testing of the app for smoothness and ability to work well. There is a paid version and a free version. My phone is stock gingerbread and it works.

Observations:

Colors are richer

Recording choppy, but playback not as much

Will do more observations.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Same 10 sec static image with no audio. You will see the file sizes for D3 and lg are very close. The lgcamera app timer is running too fast, hence it showing only an actual 9-1/2 secs in GSpot, when I was closer to 10-1/2 seconds using the apps timer. Playback of both videos on a 24" 1080p monitor was crap for both samples, so I am not convinced anyone has yet given us true hardware/firmware supported 1080p on the Atrix. My position is that it will take a dev to do some serious work, or Moto to release an update which gives true support. If 1080p were this easy to get on the Atrix, Moto would have done it at release.

<edit> Notice the D3 is running at 31fps. I haven't verified if this is consistent across multiple samples.

<edit 2> After reading the OP again, I would say I noticed no difference in colour, clarity, etc., between either video samples.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Bruce Lee:
I have no video lag or delay. But will put up on plasma flatscreen to check. I have sound

Sent from my Atrix 4G with XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
The reason I don't use sound to test is because sound is unpredictable, and can make a big difference to file size. Similarily I take video with a static image so that I have the best chance of reproducing the same results multiple times. If you video moving objects and/or pan and scan, your bit rate changes a lot, and again you will never achieve like results. I do pan and scan to test for jitter, etc., but not to pull data from for comparisons.

On another note, how does the audio sound through an external source?

I have not checked this with the camcorder at all yet.

I am interested to see how it performs at concerts. I have seen a couple of videos of concert footage, and the audio doesn't seem too bad.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] davidbilly87:

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] link12245:
I would normally agree with you here, but with the leaked LTE Atrix 2, I have a feeling they're not going to include it just because that will give you another reason to go to the Atrix 2. It's very possible with our hardware, and software shouldn't matter too much (hell, if LG can do it, anyone can). I honestly think we've been shafted. With that said, my D3 Camera with build prop edits does make files that are much larger than the 720p counterparts. I don't have a 1080p display to test it on, but when I stop stills they do look more crisp (which is really the only reason to use 1080p for me [that said, maybe it's just the placebo effect]).
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
I would tend to agree with you here, if the leaked MB865 is indeed the Atrix 2. If it does happen to be so, Motorola will never see another red cent from me after this. I like the Atrix, but if they are about to release a 2nd derivative of this phone so soon, then this proves they knew all along while they were developing it that we would not get all that was promised on the MB860.

I tried it on my Samsung HDTV and the monitor indicated the video was 1080x1920. Picture looked good to me.

[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
You must have installed kholk's CWM recovery. It doesn't have external SD option. The text is orange.

The 'recommended' recovery is tenfar's, you can find it easily in dev forum. The text is blue. Flash it using moto-fastboot

I had same issue, I used the auto-unlock/root/CWM script without realising it installed kholk not tenfar.

Having said that, I have flashed redpill on mine via kholk's recovery, all I did was put the zip in the internal storage not external sd and it didn't seem to mind. But yes a lot of ROMs tell you specifically to use tenfar and do it from external.

I'm wondering how the 'soft keys' (home/media/back/search) are implemented on the HTC Wildfire, since they don't seem to be included in the touchscreen driver itself, but are part of the touchscreen.

More accurately, I would like to know how to generate the keypress events with haptic feedback, if possible. Do any of the custom ROM developers here know how it is done?

Original article:

http://www.businessweek.com/news/20...amsung-tablet-sales-in-australia-on-hold.html

Basically they've agreed not to sell or advertise it without giving 3 to Apple 7 days before they release it for sale in Oz.

So they can sell it as long as they comply with that agreement.

They save on advertising, drum up more interest, and are still able to release it on the planned date.

To recap:

Samsung are able to release it as planned but agreed not to advertise it before release date.

Three lucky apple employees get to play with the new tablet 7 days before everyone else.

[Off-topic] acmbc:
My 2 cents on Apple (the first "real" computer I programmed on was an Apple II in Assembly and Basic....). So much for my age...

- Great design - both industrial and interface-wise

- fabulous marketing and advertising - they could spin a leaky radioactive battery into a great new feature....got to hand it to them

- It just works

- Piss poor attitude and positioning (my way or the court)

- You want what? "User freedom" Llllloooooolllllll....User freedom means WE KNOW BEST, righty?

- Innovation ? Yeah, we get to define what that means (like callling putting a camera on a phone an "innovation" in 2010....)

Well, once you open up the gates by allowing software patents on stuff like "look and feel", you get what you asked for - and Apple "borrowed" quite a lot of *that* on the early macs from real old Xerox Parc work in the 60/70's....look up "Alan Kay", PARC, "Dan Ingalls", "Douglas Engelbart" and so on. So neither the look or the feel is really theirs.

[Off-topic] hungry81:
Do you actually believe your own BS? The first sentance is only true in the fact that yes SOME "rich and powerful" prople use iphones. The same as SOME "Rich and powerful" people use Blackberry or HTC or samsung or whatever the hell they want. there is no payscale above which it is manditory that you use an iphone. although the fact you associate iphones with rich and powerful people means you once again are a sucker for cheap marketing tactics.

The second highlighted second sentance is just pure BS, Although Im glad you think you can speak for "powerful family men" and their families, your guarentee does not amount to much. Once again the Business man will buy whatever the hell he wants whether he knows about phones or not. So will his son, daughter, wife, mistress, toyboy and adopted south american child. An Iphone is as safe as you want it to be thae same as an android phone or a BB or a nokia. You stating people only buy iphones does not make it so. Likewise your assetion that "devoted and dedicated" parents buy iphones for their families is also crap.

[Off-topic] MartyLK:
What I'm saying is, the new style of antenna Apple created caused people to look closely at it to see if they could affect the signal. They found they could. But they never looked at it before the iPhone 4. If they had, they would have seen that they could affect the signal of any cellphone. But nobody...or the majority of people...never even gave a thought about if their handhold could affect the signal till Apple made the new style antenna a feature, thereby making it a subject of interest among the techies. Somoe probably said, "hmmm...new type of antenna! Right out in the open. I wonder what will happen to the signal when I hold it?" Then the dude sees the signal drop and. "OMG!...I the antenna has a problem!"

Then word gets out and the issue is investigated. The investigators discover a signal issue they were never aware of before so it has to be an uncommon flaw with the iPhone 4.
[Off-topic] ph00ny:
you know why the rest of the people didn't give it a second thought? most of those people have a bumper case on
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
When I say most people never gave it a thought before, I was meaning a signal loss issue with all cellphones. Not just the iPhone 4. People never even had a spark of a thought about whether their handhold was affecting the signal of their cellphones prior to the iPhone 4 coming into existence.

The only time I ever even thought of it long before the iPhone 4 was even designed was when a friend showed me how his cellphone signal was being affected by his wife when she took hold of it. I don't remember what brand of cellphone it was but I want to say a candybar Nokia freebie. Nevertheless, when she took hold of it, the signal dropped to nothing...no bars at all. He said she could not use a cellphone to make calls while holding it. She had to give it to her husband to make any call she needed to make. When he took hold of it...or anyone else, for that matter...it would display perfect signal reception...all 5 bars.

I see this same issue, to a lesser extent, with all of my own cellphones and smartphones. My HD2 is worse about it than my iPhone 4. My new Infuse is horrible for signal reception. All of them are affected in some amount by being held. If I hold them at about the midpoint of the body of the phone with 2 fingers...one finger on each side of the phones...and angle the bottom of the phone away from the palm of my hand, I can get normal reception on all of them. This is the same for all of my friends and acquaintances.
[Off-topic] keriangrobinson:
I think most people gave it a thought... ten years ago people were holding their phones upside down to get a message to send so they would expose the antenna.

In most phones, the reception is affected when the hand gets in the way of the signal from the phone to the cell tower. There is no way to prevent this.

However, in the iPhone 4, the external antennae mean that when you clasp the lower left corner, the GPS / WiFi etc antenna gets coupled with the cell antenna and the two stop functioning. It's a totally different reason for the signal dropping out - poor design... Another example of how apple have compromised function over aesthetics
[Off-topic] wendellc:
I dont know why apple would even do this except for style. don't their engineers know that this would be a problem. Touching the antenna with your hands is bound to cause some type of signal degradation.
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
And yet mine doesn't stop working. Hmmm...why is that. Why is it that my other smartphones tend to work less than my iPhone? I can put my finger on every gap and nothing happens. I can even wet my finger and touch the gaps and nothing happens. But when I grasp my iPhone exactly like I do my HD2 and all of my other phones, I get a signal loss. The same signal loss my other phones exhibit.

The people behind this attack really put in a lot of thought about how they could make this antenna issue be a seemingly legitimate issue. They went to elaborate measures to make their complaints seem credible.

Never underestimate the capacity of humans to deceive and mislead.
[Off-topic] wendellc:

Marty I am glad u love your iphone 4. Hey, I liked my 3gs also.

In all honesty, Apple thought that by putting the antenna on the outside you would get better reception. This was not the case.

Lets see if they choose to stay with this design in the iphone 5.
