[Motorola Droid Bionic] yutzyscott:
I was an avid user of wireless tether but please do not use it while still running stock rom. Verizon and motorola have security features built into the stock software to help them track people using what they consider illeagal tether apps. Please refrain from using such apps until there is a custom ROM released so as to avoid bringing us to the forefront of verizons attention. In the meantime use pdanet USB tether app located in market. It is important that we as a community stop using our knowledge to continue pushing carriers and handset manufacturers from locking us out completely. If we continue our current trend of outrite defiance in use of these wireless tether apps (wheather you think it should be ok or not is irrelevent until a court rules on it) we are only hurting ourselves in the long run. Please for now use pdanet or similar USB tether app as they are not frowned upon by carriers. If you need to know why here it is, USB apps allow only one device to be connected which limits bandwidth used at one time, wireless tethers allow you to run everything in your house simultatiously greatly increasing individual strain on the network and makeing the user experience for all worse in the long run as the network can only handle so much.

Well, there it all is, an informed public is a better public... Happy modding to all.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] FcoT:
What I have read is that this is a scare tactic, none of it is true. GL
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Just curious, why would they frown upon wireless tether yet pdanet is "acceptable"? Either way you're bypassing the tethering charge. I can see how wifi tethering would lend itself to a greater amount of abuse as you could have multiple devices using it concurrently - but you can do that with pdanet as well with a little more effort. So I'm wondering how you reached this conclusion? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oildriller83:
Im confused as to how doing wifi connection is more of a burden than usb. Either connection you're bandwidth is still limited to your 3G or 4G service. On 3G my download speeds are around 3mbs. This is usb or wifi. Now that bing said. If i connect my computer by itself, I keep all this speed to myself. Connecting my wifes computer, xbox, etc. This doesn't bump ky speed to 3mbs per device. Now the 3 devices are sharing the 3mbs im able to connect at. So pleased enlighten me how usb is more acceptable than wifi? All you spam nothing but fear with no actual proof. This has been goingnon since the.DROID OG, and I still have read no proof, just scarce ramblings of people who think they know what they're talking about. P3Droid has stated that the tethering is coming to an end, and that they're getting smart enough to detect it, but still nothings happened yet. Usb or wifi you're "stealing" internet from Verizon, get over yourself and do it or don't.

Wireless Tether

I have GOT to be able to use Wireless Tether on my Bionic. I had a D2 but am in limbo trying to get it back to stock so I just decided to order the Bionic, root it and use Wireless Tether because I really don't know what I am doing, have already spent WAY TOO much time trying to get my D2 to work and am VERY frustrated. :-(

I am hearing mixed messages. Does ANYONE have any experience with using it? I am going to use the D3 root method to access the app.

Thanks for any input anyone can give me!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Immolate:
Since tethering with a USB cord works, what's keeping you from doing that?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oildriller83:
I've tried all the apps out there to no avail. According to what I've read, you'll havento have 2 separate programs on your computer and get into the actual coding on the antenna side of the phone to over ride this. Easy fix is keep a DROID that the tether works on, and activate it on myverizon.com, and deactivate it when you're done. It takes less than 2 minutes to do this. A headache, yes, but a simple fix till someone comes up with a patch or better way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Droid 14:
What? you can do that with your old phone, do u just dial *228 to activate it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oildriller83:
*288 works on older phones to program them to the 3G network for data and voice. I don't know how all the 4G phones are, but the bionic's programmed and roaming capabilities are done through a 4G sim card in the phone. The bionic wont even allow a *288 phone call to go through
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Droid 14:
So I can take my OG droid with wireless tether and call *288 and it will activate and I can use it to tether from, then when I want to go back to my Bionic what do I do to activate it? goto my verizone online and do it. This is the one of the things I miss about the OG Droid do whatever I wanted on it with no issues, just was old and slow at the end. The Bionic 4g of course just screams through any D/L, Netflix etc.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nerdslogic:
*228 on lte fries sim cards. Fact
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mustang02:
Wrong. It fries them if they haven't been activated. After activation it does nothing.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oildriller83:
you'll have to activate both from myverizon.com. First thing you'll have to do is go to myverizon.com and activate you Droid OG with the ESN number, then dial *228 to get service. then you can use your phone as you were before. when you're done, go back to myverizon.com and reactivate your Droid Bionic, and turn it on with your sim card and it activates its self. I myself, have dialed *288 several times on my Bionic, and it has done no ill things to my sim card. I've actually been swapping sim cards out from other companies and trying to unlock my phone and haven't damaged anything yet. (not recommending this tho)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brnswrth:
why not just use wired tether?

Work computer won't allow new software to be installed. There is no difference between wireless tether and wired tether. In fact, wired gives a faster connection. It's garbage that we can't use our own bought phone for whatever the hell we want.

I tried to freeze using bloat freezer the mobile hotspot program from popping up but the program doesn't not show up in AND tried to use Root System Tool to identify and quit the program after opening Garden Wifi--- NO DICE.

Need something to quit mobile hotspot from popping up. NOTHING HAS WORKED!

Hi is true you can activate a 3g phone using

*228 but if you deactivate a4g phone you will need a new Sim card
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bisco3214:
Has this been confirmed as working? I'm supposed to root a bionic for a friend of mine who really wants to use wireless tether. Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
It's confirmed to work, but it's also very possible VZ can just track it easily since you're using their service and they'll stick you on a tiered plan paying tons more than the grandfathered unlimited plan. With custom ROMs there is software that prevents them from seeing if you are browsing the web on your handset or using it to power your laptop. Be careful.
[Galaxy S II General] deano777:
Hi,

I think my phone is half bricked I can get into cam and wipe and flash a rom fine phone reboots and sits at the initial boot screen with the white text on saying "Sasmsung GalaxySII GT-I9100" I can put the phone into download mode and try flashing a new kernel / rom with odin. Odin sees the phone and says phone detected, flashing zImage and sits there doing nothing for 30minutes nothing on phone or odin to show flashing. remove battery from phone and get the white text again.

any thoughts?

thanks

[HD2 Accessories] artofwar:
Can anyone direct me to a reputable online store that still sells the Otterbox Defender Series for the T-Mobile/USA version of the HD2?

Does anyone know if the Otterbox Defender screen protector is user replaceable if it gets too scratched up and if so, where does one get the replacement for it?
[HD2 Accessories] SubZeroMaster:
ditto

i want 1 too
[HD2 Accessories] artofwar:
THey seem to be so hard to come by nowadays. I know the phone is abit on the old side, but most places who do stock the Otterbox for the HD2 only carry the commuter series.
[HD2 Accessories] Hagenlund:
The screen is prolly replaceable. Mine has detached on one side, but still fits snugly with the phone in it. Way too bulky for my taste, though.
[HD2 Accessories] Tref:
I just bought a Defender case from fommy.com for $49.95. The one they show is for the international version, but if you search for sku 89100 on their site you will find the one for the US T-Mobile version.

The screen protector is easy to remove, and it appears to be similar to the material used on overhead projectors, so you could easily fabricate another. I actually removed mine and kept the Zagg screen protector on my phone because the Defender protector sort of stuck to the Zagg and made it look like there was moisture between the two, though there wasn't. I also think the Zagg is much tougher. You can get them for about $5.00 on eBay right now.

Good luck!
[HD2 Accessories] Hagenlund:
just lightly dust it with baby powder and the moisture marks will disappear.
[HD2 Accessories] Tref:
Thanks for the tip. If I decide to reinstall that protector I will. Have to find some baby powder first though. :D
[HD2 Accessories] artofwar:
No issues dealing with fommy.com? reselleratings.com don't show very positive ratings with them.
[HD2 Accessories] Tref:
This is the second order I've placed with them in the last 14 months or so. I didn't have any problems at all. Items were in stock as the site showed, shipped promptly, good communication, and the items ordered were delivered (no wrong items).
[HD2 Accessories] artofwar:
Did you buy the international or T-mobile Defender from them?
[HD2 Accessories] Tref:
T-Mobile, SKU is 89100
[HD2 Accessories] artofwar:
Fommy is out of stock.

Still cannot find Otterbox Defender case for HD2 (US version) anywhere (even ebay). Has anyone purchased one recently and from which website/store?
[HD2 Accessories] Tref:
Bummer about Fommy.

I've seen two on eBay since I bought mine from Fommy. One was used, one was new. Make yourself a search and have them notify you when one comes up for auction or sale.

I hope you come across one, I've found that this phone with the way I've modified the Defender is about bomb-proof.

Dealextreme now sells the download mode jig to get your phone in download mode if it doesn't have the 3 button combo.

Advertised as Unbrick Download 301K USB Mode JIG for Samsung T959/I9000/I897/M110S/I8700/I9100

$1.60, including shipping. I didn't order one (have resistors and suitable micro USB plug) but I suppose they will be OK.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
No, you have s-off.

With s-off you can put your custom recovery, what I provided, on your phone.

Once you've done that you can flash whatever ROM/Kernel you want.

That's the way you root with revolutionary.

If you want just the stock ROM you would then flash this in your custom recovery...

Hi Guys,

I tried to flash the phone with kyrillos rom 7.0 OC Version but my phone freezes at initial screen GT5801 and can listen cracking booting sound.

I tried to re flash it but again the same thing happened. Do any one have the solution for this problem.

Thanks In Adv.

Use the non Oc version because oc can freeze your phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] anup_ja:
Thanks dilzo . I tried to again flash the phone with JP2 official .tar downloaded from samfirmware. But that is again getting freeze after Samsung booting animation.

Should i again reflash it with non OC version. There are two part of Kyrillos rom. If you extract the first part the second part also get extracted. Please correct me if i am wrong.
[Galaxy 3 General] lesiux:
Make wipe data after flashing when phone boot ino CWM. If this won't help, flash non-oc version, wipe data, then flash oc kernel (is in the kyrillos zip in "extras" folder - i don't remember exactly)

Should I just manually try to reinstall the apps from the available lists on this site? Or shall I just downgrade to 2.3.2, root with gingerbreak, then OTA to the latest .368 update or whatever it is with xLoud?

Hey guys,

I was wondering why these manufacturers are not putting infrared in the mobile phones (Like they were a few years back), as i think if they do the phones can easily be used as remote controls for electronics tht doesnt have anything like bluetooth/wifi.

Ex: My STB and my old samsung LCD TV etc etc..

Currently sum manufacturers are adding small infrared device tht one needs to attach to their phone to act as remote like below.
[General Questions and Answers] lonnydub:
for me the phones are already expensive and don't really need another radio chip in it. Plus for me I use my remote via WiFi. Both googletv,revue and Tivo have apps so I can control my tv's with no issues. If I could get an app so I can do my xbox too I'd be really happy. For now I just yell at my xbox with my kinect.:eek:
[General Questions and Answers] mercianary:
Apparently you can just wire an ir led directly onto a headphone Jack and plug it into your phone then you just record the input from the remote and play it back to the TV. Afaik there is no app for this purpose though.

What really should happen is TV manufacturers need to move away from IR completely, and just move to bluetooth(Like the ps3 bluray remote). Then you'd just need an app since every phone already has bluetooth.
