What's the hack? Why not just use the lastest wifi tether?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
The hack allows you to use the built in "Sprint Hotspot" instead of having to use a beta version of the WifiTether app. It works great as well. The hack was made compatible,with some ROMs. Our devs and themers have been adding it as well
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breezy357:
Once you use the hotspots hack nothing else will compare. The only problem I had with wifi tether is the phone would become very hot quicky.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heXkil:
Google "SRF1.2HotspotHack.zip XDA," works flawless with 4g. Install with CWM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bralgar:
Lol does it ever get hot! When I use it I take my batt cover off, lay it screen down and aim a fan at it, seriously.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:android monsters:.:
What kernel are you running? I am on Rebirth w/Genocide kernel and I get about zero heat.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
I'm using genocide, on sfr, and I get major heat too.

Also, there is a other wifi tether app on the market called Open Garden. I haven't been able to make much use of it, so I can't give you any recommendation on it, but it is there.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Heat is always an issue with tethering. You are using the phone's 3G or 4G radio 100% of the time. This is why some tethering apps also display battery temperature.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynewepic10:
I use open garden and it works great. It even allows my ipod to connect to my phone vs when I used the wifi tether that is included in most roms would not allow ipod to connect to phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sapperpipo:
What I do to eliminate the heat issue is to plug it into a wall charger or usb port and this will do 2 things 1, keep the battery from getting hot

2 keep the phone charged while your tethering, the last thing you want is to run out of battery after you've tethered god forbid you wanted to order a pizza and had no juice to make the call,, that's just scary.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breezy357:
Believe it or not I used to I use wireless hotspot hack for COD on ps3 with no heat problems, but trying to do YouTube or stream video is where I would have the heat issues .
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArchangelRenzoku:
Haha true, but most corporate pizza places let you order online nowadays :P
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] URwannabehack:
There is one available, QBKing77 has a "how to" as well on youtube which includes the link for the flashable zip. As for the heat, it is what it is, I use "System Panel App" as my task killer, which has system monitor so I can check batt temp, but there really isn't much you can do to prevent it, just keep a eye on it- good luck
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyp23:
I have also had great success with open garden, highly recommended.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myaepic1:
I'm using the one for srf1.2...works great. Not sure if it'll work w/o the srf rom. There's not one listed for just ec05, but srf is based on ec05 (up to you if you wanna try it w/o it). I've used open garden, wireless tether...yada, yada, yada. This hack is the best by far, imo. Qbking77 has a "how to" on youtube with the links for the zip.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidstorm:
Oneclick gave me Superuser but will not load Clockworkmod, I tried twice. Also will not load Andromeda or Wireless Tether (says no space --not true) -- The only thing that would work from the one click was unlocking the phone.

I have ROM manager but that only allowed me to delete a few bloatware items but not all of them.

Any ideas how I can get Clockworkmod on here. Rom Manager says Epic 4G not supported so I can't load it from there.:confused::confused::confused:

I have a few Problems that i din't via search so i ask. if its dubblepost im sorry.

Fakts.

-In tricolor Bootscreen it schows me 2.08 wich seems to be good enough for android.

-Magldr is 1.12 i want to update this.

ma problem is i can'T update to magldr 1.13 bacause i have no active synk . when i try to do it from tricolor bootscreen it says error 560.

how can i update magldr from wp7?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
from bootloader screen, you can flash. so long as it says usb at the bottom, that IS an activesync connection. Ignore the activesync program on the PC, thats not what an activesync connection means.

but why it still cant connect`?

it says error [260] : connection

[Motorola Droid 3] bgarlock:
The Droid 3 has been out of stock on Verizon's Web site for a while now. I called the Verizon Wireless store, and they say that there are none to be had in the entire country! The only way to order it is by special order? Why doesn't anyone stock these? Are they that popular, even with all the 4G phones?

My local Radio Shack says that he had ordered one for someone last Friday, but he ended up taking the Droid-2 instead. He told me that I could take his, but I'm skeptical -- if Verizon Wireless says it takes a week to two weeks to get one, then how could Radio Shack get one? He says I'll have it tomorrow, but if it's such a popular phone, then why not stock it?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I believe the D3 did much better then Verizon had anticipated. I don't think they had enough units ready to meet the demand.
[Motorola Droid 3] bgarlock:
Yea, I'm just wondering why they never ramped back up production. The D3 was released back in mid-July, and here it is almost October, and it's still nowhere to be found. The funny thing is that I never saw it promoted once. I've wanted it since it was rumored to have the extra row of keys, since 3/4 of my job is a Linux sysAdmin, and I am always SSH'ing into servers, and hate having to use the Alt. key on my D2G.

I have been eligible for upgrade since the beginning of August, and have been waiting for the right deal to come along, and the Radio Shack deal can't be beat at $100 off.

Although, at this point, who ever gets it in stock first, gets my cash!!
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Weird.. My girlfriend got hers like 3 days after I went into the store and ordered it.
[Motorola Droid 3] dodgerblue:
I picked mine up from Costco. There are like a dozen Verizon stores within about 15 miles of my house and they have all been sold out.

Costco carries it AND unlike Verizon; you only pay tax on the price on display...not the retail price of the phone! I paid $141 including tax on my phone! A HUGE break!

Try a different usb port, and odin without the battery in at all
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
And try with the sd card out too. You may also try going into control panel>device manager, find your phone and update the drivers from Windows Update.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] akarol:
So, I think I messed something up. I replaced my wpa_supplicant file with a hacked one in order to recognize and connect to Adhoc wireless signals such as the on from my E4GT phone. It seemed to have worked, but I realized that there was an issue with the tablet consistently scanning even after it connected. I decided to go back to my previous wpa_supplicant which I had backed up. I kept getting an Error when attempting to connect to my home's wireless network. So I figured a Full re-installation of Overcome 1.1.0 would do the trick. Voila! It's working again!

However, I realized that my network doesn't sleep when the screen is turned off. I set it up under the Advanced Wireless Settings and still won't do it. I know it takes a while for the WiFi to actually turn off, but I have waited hours and it is still not doing it. I am running the same apps I was running before all this mess, so I doubt it is a specific app.

PLEASE HELP!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlop:
Somehow I got a crack on the menu button of my streak. It looks like a scratch but I cant feel the groove when passing my nail on it. Any advice on how to keep its from getting worse? I might still be in warranty if that matters.

Also, my screen is soooo greasy what do you guys use to keep the screen sparkling?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streakOwner:
The other finger.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
They make phone skins with pieces that cover the button area.

A couple of drops of hand sanitizer will get oils off your screen. Be careful and don't use much, use a micro fiber cloth to wipe off. Try to find some sanitizer with no scent or other additives. It is mostly alcohol. Do not use alcohol based products on any lens or glass with a coating.

I am not responsible for any damage you do!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
Mine is like that also. I think that piece just "pops" off, so if you could find a replacement, it would be easy to replace?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
When removing the piece with the capacitive buttons be very careful. There are MANY reports of people tearing the cable that connects the piece to the motherboard. Read the various screen repair guides and the tear down at ifixit.

[Sony Tablet S] ilnewsome:
I've tried 4 different Capacitive Screen styluses on my Tablet S, with no screen protector, and it requires me to push much harder than on any other tablet or screen I've tried it on.

Can anyone test this out on their Tablet S for me?

Is this normal? Or is this just a defect in the one I got? Give it a try and let me know please.
[Sony Tablet S] officeman:
Ive never tried a stylus on any other tablet than the Sony one I own so I didn't know it was just an issue on this one but yes, the performance of the stylus is horrible.
[Sony Tablet S] tsnoah:
The stylus didn't work very well for me either. The Nook color I have also didn't work very well. Pretty sure the capacitive touchscreens work differently between iOS and android so this may just be a "designed for ipad" kind of issue.
[Sony Tablet S] ilnewsome:
The problem I have is that I used it on the Xoom and ALL the other tablets they had over at Best Buy on display, and they worked flawlessly. Some of then better than it did on the iPads on display :-( damn it SONY, I think it's just a screen sensitivity thing... if anyone figures out how to increase this, let me know.
[Sony Tablet S] sonus:
Why do you need a stylus anyway? If you really do need a stylus, you should have gotten a tablet that supports an active stylus by either Wacom or N-Trig for actual precision, and quality when writing. I know at least the HTC Flyer and one of the Lenovo tablets support this.
[Sony Tablet S] wickwire:
Hi,

A friend of mine recommended the Griffin Stylus, although he has an iPad2 he said that after trial and error with several brands, this one was near perfect.

I'm also looking into this, so that I can use the tablet as a notepad for classes - I have the apps installed already, all I have to do now is find the proper stylus.
[Sony Tablet S] pauLegend:
Dunno if you guys didnt realize that there is a factory installed screen protector over the glass ( yes glass, mineral glass in fact). thats causing sensitivity issues.
[Sony Tablet S] dberladyn:
If you read the manual it will tell you NOT to use a stylus. The Tablet S is not meant for anything other than your finger tip.
[Sony Tablet S] wickwire:
Not according to the link below

http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666381663

I searched all the leaflets and booklets that came with the tablet and could not find any evidence supporting your claim, I also went online to the Sony Forums and nothing about Stylus Pen issues - but it's still possible, as stated, that due to design/build characteristics, stylus pens work badly with the tablet.

So far, according even to my friend's experience on the iPad and the information at the Sony Store, I'm still hoping that maybe the Sony Tablet is just picky when it comes to Stylus Pens and we just have to do our homework before buying one.

I hope that's the case, as I'm planning on using this device for classes and so far, software-wise I'm all set, so all I need now is a suitable stylus pen to write with.

I'll let you know how it goes, but please if anyone else has any successful results on this, please share as well.
[Sony Tablet S] dberladyn:
Hi, Maybe I am "mis-remembering" it. I believe if you click on the Sony Help Icon it will take you to a website with various tips and information. In there it will tell you not to use anything on the screen except for your finger tips. I should confirm this for you but I am tired and lazy. Anyways, I don't see the point in using a stylus with this tablet. To me, this is the kind of tablet you leave beside the couch or your bed. In my opinion it's not a travel / work tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] wickwire:
Couldn't disagree more, this tablet keeps surprising me, in a positive way.

Work is always relative, travel is just not so as this seems more and more as THE partner to have, but opinions come and go, of course.

As for facts, check the image below - and hopefully the stylus drama dies here.

Griffin stylus pen, GC16040 - 4.3" length, in an orange box.

I'm still to put the screen protector, will report back as it is done.
[Sony Tablet S] Evo 4G63:
I picked up the Griffin stylus GC16040 and it isn't working well with mine with the Sony screen protector on. I still had to give in a good amount of pressure for it to work.

Has anyone tried the stylus sold on the Sony store website?

I'm going to assume it'll work because Sony is selling it, and it says specifically that it is for Sony tablets. I'm going to place an order to try it out.
[Sony Tablet S] wickwire:
Yh

I got my screen protector from amazon today - not the official sony one, and another set of stylus pens - Groov-e, GV-CP2

Both stylus packs work ok, but with screen protector I do have to apply some little pressure, but I have to say that for me, it's basically the same as when writing with normal pen and paper...

I do notice a slightly more diffuse image due to the protector, and the griffin stylus is alot softer to use than the Groov-e ones.

Both work ok, but the Groov-e just seemed slightly rougher, when typing I get a subtle scraping sound...

I also noticed that not all apps behave the same with this, personally I liked genie writing best, whereas hand writing HD didn't feel so precise in capturing my strokes.

Sample 2 in attach.
[Sony Tablet S] Evo 4G63:
Which screen protector did you get exactly?
[Sony Tablet S] onei0077:
Drawing in supernote is the same with your finger or stylus, not great. It misses some inputs when drawing. I'm sure with future updates it will get better. I'm using a targus stylus.
[Sony Tablet S] antmoore:
Stylus on Sony Tablet S

I bought these TOUCH SCREEN STYLUS FOR Huawei IDEOS S7 Slim Tablet

on ebay and tested them on my Sony Tablet S and Galaxy S phone.

It works 100x better on my galaxy s phone than on the sony tablet.

They do work on the sony but the sensitivity isn't there, a fair amount of pressure is needed in order for it to respond.

I'm also interested to see if anyone else gets a better result with the targus stylus that sony sells.

I created a short video to show the problem. Go to youtube and search for AntMoore23, go on my channel and watch.
[Sony Tablet S] cow138:
I think for the Sony it has a special resin that allows the screen to have a better black response. I think maybe that's the reason why the stylus response is bad. Just something to keep in mind.
[Sony Tablet S] mipuel:
I use a griffin stylus (GC17125) with sketchbook pro every day and it work just fine.

I also tried to build my own stylus with a sponge and some other crap (try a search on youtube) but without success.
[Sony Tablet S] weaponXandroid:
did anyone try using the Stylus used in the video here, they call it a Wacom Active Digitizer

http://youtu.be/oty4ukjSIjg
[Sony Tablet S] daClaus:
The active digitizer is not the stylus, it's part of the screen technology inside the tablet, similar to the Galaxy Note.
[Sony Tablet S] Kapoted:
So, can you tell me where do I can get one of those styluses on Portugal?

I have a Adonit pro Stylus, I used it at Quill app, but I didn't liked the experience, I until today thaught that it was because of the sony protector screen, would you say that the stylus that you have is better?

One of the problems that I have is that a cant put the hand at the screen, that it recognizes the hand instead of the stylus. Can you resolve that problem?
[Sony Tablet S] jb2001:
Guys i was thinking that we need a definitive list of what stylus actually work on the Sony Tablet S capacitive screen. Im going to start a new thread on this with a link to here. Hope you guys are cool with me using the stylus info provided already.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Strangeknight:
*Posted in the wrong forum initially so asking again in the right one now*

Yes, I admit I am a noob, and I'm going to guess there should be an obvious answer but I'm not finding it. I switched to my Galaxy S 4G after my Crackberry died, but I had gotten an InPulse watch for the Blackberry to keep me alerted to critical messages at work (I work in a children's hospital, and the nurses in the Neonatal ICU tend to get mad when one's ringtone causes all the babies heart-rates to jump at the same time....)

I have discovered that the watch needs RFCOMM to communicate properly, which from what I can tell the Galaxy does not implement correctly if at all. What I could use help understanding is do any of these ROM's have a fix that allows devices that need RFCOMM to work properly? I can see all sorts of builds out there for the Galaxy S, but it isn't clear if they can help fix this issue or if they will work for my specific model (the 4G variant) If they all do then I apologize for the really stupid question and you may berate me as you see fit.

I apologize in advance for all the questions but they will help us get a clear background of your situation. The July OTA radio you flashed gives you 2.42.01.04.27 listed as the baseband version in settings -> about phone? What ROM are you using?

There's also the 2.42.02.10.29 radio put out by Sprint for the HeroC last November which is compatible with the Eris. Since flashing a radio is one of the more dangerous things you can do though, I wouldn't start with this option to try and fix things.

I'd try flashing xtrsense and then do *228 options 1 and 2 before changing the radio. After doing that a clean full wipe install of your Rom of choice you should be in good shape. If you decide you want to later try a different radio I've also had the best luck with the hero radio goose mentioned.
