Sorry I am trying to USB tether in the opposite direction. You are sharing the connection from your Xoom to your PC. I have a WiFi only Xoom, so I am trying to tether my Xoom from either my cell phone or ideally a USB 4G dongle to my Xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
Does anyone use the USB tethering option on Tiamat's kernel?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sistema1927:
Yes, it works for me using the script shown earlier in this thread. Could it be that you don't have the correct OTG cable? I purchased mine on ebay for a couple of bucks.

Note that I had problems tethering with Manta Ray, but stepping back to Hammerhead works just fine.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
Thank you for your response, I was starting to think no one used this feature. I am slightly confused though. You said you stepped back to Hammerhead from Manta Ray. I thought Hammerhead is the newer ROM with the Tachometer kernel built in.

So just to make sure you are able to tether with Hammerhead and you had problems tethering with Manta Ray? I see a few people having issues with Hammerhead so I have been holding off for an update, plus having to wipe to update makes me a little hesitant.
[HTC Sensation] ToneyEricsson:
Hi,

I'm just trying to find out from Sensation users how bad the network signal loss problem is that I have heard about with the Sensation when it has a case on?

Are these people nit picking or is this a real fault ?

I recall the HTC Desire HD apparently 'had' this problem but I have personally found with a Case-mate Tough my signal has always been fine but others have apparently had problems with that same case.

Just really looking for input from Sensation owners about this as I am considering upgrading to the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] moh0:
Too many threads on this -.-

Anywho, it is a real problem. However the signal loss is not from the network, rather with wifi. I've come to terms with it as I don't really use my phone in landscape much anymore save for watching videos or browsing the web. I just hold the phone towards the bottom.

Definetly is a real problem though, no one on this board is exaggerating.
[HTC Sensation] baker2795:
One way you can increase WiFi connectivity is to do as follows:

Go to Settings>Wireless & Networks>WiFi Settings **hit menu on the phone** and select Best WiFi performance :cool:
[HTC Sensation] gibbo82:
Got a case on my sensation, and no problems with wifi here, near enough always showing full strength 8)

[XPERIA X10 General] Gadgetz:
Hey guys, first I want to gives props to those of you who have posted tutorials on tweaking/modding this phone. I am an AT&T customer so I have an X10a, but with your help I successfully flashed my phone to 2.1, debranded it and rooted it. Of course AT&T released their official 2.1 update just a week later but like now, I was tired of waiting. So I now have an X10i, debranded and rooted, running customization# 1232-9897, for which there is no official GB release for just yet.

I want GB now! So am I right in assuming that my only option at this point is to flash a custom rom (WB)? I have been reading up on how to do so and it doesn't look nearly as easy as it was to flash to 2.1 from 1.6, debrand and root. Not only that but the tutorials on how to do so aren't exactly noob friendly. So this is what I've gotten so far.

1. In order to install WB 2.3.3 I need to be on a stock 2.1 rom, rooted w/xRecovery.

a.) I'm good on the first 2 but don't have xRecovery (I don't see an icon for it, at least, in my apps menu). Do I need to flash the rom again or can I just install it as shown in this video?....sorry, can't post the video, not enough posts yet. I'll update it shortly.....the video was made by username BluechipJ on youtube.

2. When making a backup of my apps/data, I use MyBackup Root, and for backup type I chose APK. Is that ok?

3. agentJBM wrote the tutorial I followed to upgrade to 2.1/debrand and root my phone, his guide was super detailed for noobs like me. Is there a guide out there that walks noobs through the process of going from 2.1 to 2.3?
[XPERIA X10 General] JohnShade123:
Download flashtool 0.2.9. from there you can root and install xrecovery but just make sure you have unknown sources and usb debugging checked in phone settings
[XPERIA X10 General] Mayazcherquoi:
You don't access xRecovery from your app drawer (your "apps menu"). You can check if you have it by turning off your phone, turning it back on again, then when you see the white "Sony Ericsson" text repeatedly hit the 'Back' button on your phone (the right most button from the 3 at the bottom of your phone). If you come to a menu which says up the top "xRecovery" with Zdzihu's infamous android-troll face picture, then you have it. If not, then you can easily install it via FlashTool.

From then on, just follow the guides, they are actually pretty simple. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Dark Nightmare:
Simply use one of the 2.3.3 stock ftf files and flash it the same way you would a regular 2.1 file unless you want a modded rom like that of WB.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lion3494:
Im on at and t also and I know it sucks. But yeah just use flashtool and flash one of the firmwares. Should be just as easy as 2.1

Sent from my x10 on official gingerbread http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh19PLNTWwk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[XPERIA X10 General] Gadgetz:
I downloaded it and unzipped it to my desktop thinking it would just be a single file, turned out to be a few folders and what not....I'm assuming I should unzip it to it's own folder??? Since i'm already rooted, can I just install xRecovery from it? Unknown sources and usb debugging are checked.

Durr....So glad I made this thread:o I tried that, didn't get that menu or picture, it just booted up as normal and I kept pressing the back button repeatedly from the time the white SE logo came up until my homescreen came on. How do I install it from FlashTool?

So I could use any one of the stock 2.3.3 roms? Even though they were for other countries? I'd actually prefer a WB 2.3.3 since it's tweaked and what not already.

Is that what you did? Which firmware did you use?
[XPERIA X10 General] Lion3494:
I just used the 1237 update. But all of the firmwares work fine for me. I tried 3 so far

Sent from my x10 on official gingerbread http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh19PLNTWwk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[XPERIA X10 General] LJE:
Once you unzip flashtool to your computer

*Run the flashbat to start flashtool

*Then plug in your phone to the computer and click on "charge phone" (on phone)

*then click on "ask permission" at top of flashtool window

*on your phone click on "allow" (once superuser asks you for permission)

*then you'll be able to click on "xrecovery" at top of flashtool window

that will install xrecovery

Then if you want to install Ericks 2.3.3 custom ROM you can follow this guide

[YOUTUBE]6TCGu0e8hhE[/YOUTUBE]

links to Ericks ROM is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192326

or you can install Wolfs custom ROM basically the same way but with his links instead of Ericks

It's very easy once your phone is rooted and has busybox/xrecovery

[HTC EVO 3D] schwartz561:
I was able to change the speed, but couldn't fix the lag. It was 200p and when changing the speed it skipped part 0 and went to part 1. I tried a whole bunch of numbers from 20p - 300p

No worries. Its not that important to me. I was just trying to get an idea of how these things are compiled.

[EVO 4G General] MultiDev:
To be fair to the newcomers, I don't see why this forum can't add a sticky post that says 2.3 OTA can't be unrooted. Would make it a lot easier for newcomers and make it completely inexcusable to start a new thread asking for 2.3.

It's just to hard to pass a topic up regardless if your any help or not vs upping your post count eh?? Cuz that's all your doing.. posting nonsense that has no meaning to anyone but yourself since it gives you a stiffy to be able to let someone know you feel superior to them by knowing pointless information..

2.3.3 has no root yet.. even the white version.. Sorry, but join the many of us waiting patiently for this to happen. I feel your pain though as I had root before and also received a replacement. Hopefully soon we'll be back to our flashing ways..

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSmokingAndroid:
So i downloaded BetterBatteryStats and found that in my wakelock there is a service "AlarmManager" that won't stop and i believe is the reason behind my "phone idle" battery drain issue...is it safe to stop it? and if so, how can i stop it?

I can't seem to find it in Titanium Backup to freeze..

I have the same issue. I'm going to try this fix.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krkeegan:
I also see a lot of wakelocks caused by AlarmManager. When I look at my battery stats the phone is active about 50% even though the screen is only on 10% of the time. The activity doesn't seem to correlate to anything either. It isn't cyclical like an hourly update or something.

According to Google, the AlarmManager handles the following:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html

This leads me to believe that something is registering events that are causing the phone to frequently wake up. I may try reviewing the logs to find out what is doing this.

EDIT: After spending sometime, I couldn't find anything. I recently downloaded BetterBatteryStats version 0.7.0 which seems much improved. I no longer see AlarmManager in the list, so maybe it was a red herring and nothing was wrong? I will keep monitoring
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krkeegan:
Nope, still getting a lot of partial wakelocks for AlarmManager. About 1 hour for every 8 hours of run time.

Anyone have any idea how to track down what is registering for the wakelocks in AlarmManager?

I'm not sure if you're still looking for this information but running the command below should show you registered events hooked into the alarmmanager service.

The "hidden" Epic and the Droid Charge without a doubt.. Probably Droid Charge, the only thing I don't like about it, is I know it's from Verizon. :P

I kinda like the Fascinate sound with the Epic "hidden" animation.

Would be great for some audio enthusiast to make us a nicely times swooshing sound to go along it.

But it's still fun to see the broken and corrupted Prevail boot animation showing Boost mobile and samsung logos! ;]

The boot animation / sound files are in "/system", so a data wipe will not remove them.

I have flashed the cleaner thats supposed to remove boot sounds AND flashed the Vibrant Boot animation but still get the STUPID T-Mobile jingle when the S annimation is rolling.

What am I doing wrong here?

I'm on deodexed EH06 with Maddoggin's MOD...
[Epic 4G Themes] nubecoder:
If you are talking about using a "bootanimation.zip" then the kernel needs to be modified for that to work (if it's still the same for GB, I'm not sure about this).

If you are talking about using these files, It should be as simple as flashing one through recovery.

The post below your's mentions using these on EH06, so it would seem that the are working fine for GB.

If you don't want the boot sound, just delete the "PowerOn.wav" file and you're good to go.

2 ways to go about that:

1- Open the zip and delete the file before flashing (should be "files/PowerOn.wav").

2- Delete the file from your phone after flashing the zip ("/system/etc/PowerOn.wav").

ps - the cleaner is for cleaning up after these files, in preparation of using a "standard" bootanimation.zip.

Try matching the permissions of the other files in that folder.

Usually done with Root Explorer, but there are alternatives on the market now (that have permission changing abilities).

You can check the updater-script file from any of the zips posted in the OP to see the permissions being set on the files.

From memory, I'm thinking it's 644.

If it's a .qmg file, it's named correctly, and the permissions aren't messed up, it should work.

If that don't help, sorry I'm out of ideas.

Also, if it's a .qmg file, then it (probably) came from Samsung, chances are it's included in the OP already.

It's not the Droid Charge animation is it? (Red Verizon eye, check OP for the video preview.)

If it's not already in the OP, then I want it to be.

What device did it originate from, and where can I has it?

I didn't make it clear that I assumed your ".qmi" was a typo for ".qmg", if that assumption is wrong, ignore this post ;]

[Epic 4G Themes] nubecoder:
Thankx, linked in OP.

Probably something to do with mono/stereo/KHz, etc. Compare with the working .wav and convert it. (Don't remember the specs off the top of my head.)

Talk to Samsung on this one (while you're at it, ask them for some tools to modify .qmg files ;] ).
