[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 19android:
Just rooted my Samsung Galaxy SII AT&T and am looking for a tethering app and/or process to get tethering on my rooted phone. I use DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit and it worked flawlessly. I have done some searching and cant seem to find an answer.

What I am looking for is a tethering app (preferably free) to put on this phone so I can share my data connection. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tsunami0ne:
Hey guys,

I bought a Monoprice MHL adapter for my Epic Touch a few months ago, and while it works, every now and then I will have weird issues with it. Sometimes while using it, my voice connectivity will drop to the point where it will either be roaming or I will get no service... then when I unplug the adapter, I magically get service back again. Video will randomly cut in and out when this happens, as well. One time I turned on airplane mode and the problems went away, so I have a feeling that for some reason, the MHL adapter is not playing nice with the phone's radio. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] omargs7:
while i didn't notice any problems with the radio, the screen also was cutting off on the tv so i contacted monoprice about it and they send me a new one and this one has no cut offs or nothing im a happy camper.

you know there is tethering option actually in the phone, dont need a separate app. Settings->Wireless and Network->Tethering and portable hotspot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 19android:
@ Pmac 25...I searched...here and the net. I was drawing blanks. Not sure why I could not find anything. Sorry, but thank you for the help.

@highaltitude...I am cool with using the tethering app in the phone, can I use it without issues from AT&T? I mean I know they possibly could track me, but does the root allow use of the stock tethering app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
Not really sure if you need to be rooted or not to use the stock one. I have a grandfathered Unlimited plan, and have so far been too afraid to try tethering in fear of losing my current data plan. Besides, for me, I have wifi at home, a netbook if I need it and can pretty much get 3G plus anywhere in town so I have not actually needed to use tethering. Good luck, there is some good reading in the link posted above by Pmac25
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 19android:
I read in on of the threads you can just delete the tethermanager.apk. I think I can delete this from Titanium Backup. It is listed as TetheringManager 2.07.06(1). If/once I do this, I can just use the stock tethering app on the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
High - You won't lose your unlimited data plan! :) however, if you try to use the tethering option AT&T will eventually find out and give you a letter like this:

Dear sir/madam,

AT&T is happy to provide excellent wireless data service for yoru mobile devices, and we're happy that you're enjoying our service. However, it has come to our attention that you are sharing our service to additional device, commonly known as *tethering*. As you may already be aware, we do offer this additional feature as a paid for service, and will be happy to apply this $20.00 charge on your next bill if you continue to utilize the tethering option...

BOTTOM line, rooting the phone is only PART I, you still have to find and REMOVE the AT&T tethering monitoring APK that is running in the background, (hence the rooting) I *BELIEVE* it's called *tethering2.apk* and IT can only be removed/deleted after phone has been rooted...

Now for the kicker, even with tattertale app removed. AT&T still have at it's disposal human or bot based tracking solutions on their HPSA/3G network to detect when a device is tethering (exact methodology is a closely guarded secret) and so despite your best efforts with rooting and removing the APK, you *MAY* still get the warning letter about the $20 / month additional service charge...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 19android:
Thanks....

@lonewolf....I think I can freeze or remove the TetheringManager 2.07.06(1) with Titanium Backup. is this the file you refer to in your post?

I've my x10i to factory data, I still running under 2.3.3 but I don't have the android market 3.1.6 that I use to have, this morning

Thanks for your help
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deviantelf:
Please tell us what version Android Market you have? (go to the market and then press Menu button, then scroll down to the bottom it's "Build Version"). Is it newer or older than what you had? They recently did 3.3.11. I heard they have 3.3.12 now.

If it's newer it's just an update. If it's older, what have you done between this morning and when it changed? If you're saying you reset it to factory data, opening the market, exiting and reopening should update you to the newest version. You'll know because you get a pop up and Accept/Decline option.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] algnerd:
I've got and Older one, but I can't tell you wish version, and I've only reset to factory data.

Also I've tried what you did tell me to do and it didn't work :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TechDudeGeorge:
So I'm getting a Galaxy Nexus from Vodafone on a contract, for various reasons. But I'd like it unlocked. I read in a few places that Nexus phones are unlocked by default, does anyone know if it would be unlocked. If not, how would I get it unlocked as it's a new phone so I'm guessing it's difficult.

Also are the phones branded, so would there be a vodafone boot logo or any voda apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loudestsilence:
if you are getting it from UK, then yes, chances are it is going to be locked.

funny though, cuz I tried getting one from vodafone but they didn't even have a schedule for it (only yesterday) so I had mine at phones 4U which is only retailer who seem to have one in my area :S

...this one (as usual along with CPW) was unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dajmeister:
I got mine from three (on payngo) yesterday, and it is sim unlocked I have used it with my T-Mobile sim. (I am pretty sure that they are all sim unlocked, as has been the case with past nexus phones).

edit: Also no branding, apps from the carrier at all, again like previous nexus phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
Sorry but your incorrect, galaxy nexus is sold unlocked weather you purchase it direct from your network, a third part phone store, on contract or pay as you go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
apparantly o2 ones are locked, read on here someone who got one from o2 is asking for a code when he puts in another sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Question about sim lock

Question here. Suppose the phone is sim locked, will it be unlocked by root or fastboot unlock? Or are they different things? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
Totally different. SIM-lock has nothing to do with bootloader lock. To my knowledge the only way to SIM-unlock any phone is with an unlock code (or some nasty hardware hacking). Unlock codes can usually be purchased online and many carriers will do it for a fee. I once bought an unlock code online for $5 for my old Nokia N95.

Since you're in the UK, see this thread for more info and a link to a legit ebay seller offering unlock codes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
i can confirm that the handsets bought from O2 are SIM locked to O2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NatTheCat:
I can confirm Vodafone UK from p4u are sim unlocked.

All phones from Phones4U are unlocked.

I bought my GN from the 3 Store in the UK 2 days ago - They said it was locked but I put my Giffgaff sim in and it worked no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
o2 simlock their phones, if you are on contract with them they will unlock it for free with a 1 week lead time. PAYG you need to spend some money (£10 if memory serves correct) to unlock the device.

My rezound seems to go to 3G a lot! It has absolutely no issues with the hand off, it just seems to use 3G a lot more than it needs too. Anyone else notice this?
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
sorry no, mine never goes to 3G period (unless i go somewhere that does not have 4G coverage).
[HTC Rezound] eallan:
Very odd, mine stays on 4g most of the time (houston is absolutely blanketed in 4g) but i do see 3g more than I did with the thunderbolt (this is just a feeling.)

Of course, there could have been network issues as well, who knows.

[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
you might live where there is more extended LTE than true coverage like me.

Sent from my HTC Rezound at LTE speeds!
[HTC Rezound] PrsnlCrcl:
You might already know about it, but there is a free app in the Market called LTE OnOff. The app gives you more options with regards to LTE/3G. By default the phone is set to CDMA(3G) + LTE. With this option, it checks for availability and sets it appropriately. If you are in an area that the LTE is not really strong yet, that might be part of the reason it is switching so much. You could use the app to set it to LTE w/Voice option and see if it sticks with LTE better. I came from the Thunderbolt and had to use the app frequently as I was told having it set to the either/or option also used more battery because of the polling it would do to see what network it should be on. I am not sure if the battery concerns are still an issue with the Rezound. I know when I am trying to get more battery life from the phone, I set my to CDMA auto (PRL) so that it only uses 3G since the LTE can be a battery killer.
[HTC Rezound] eallan:
Thanks, I'm in Houston. It's a big city and we've had very strong 4g for a while now. My thunderbolt stays on 4G all day long.

I tried to replace the droid3 camera apk hack under themes and app section

When i replace it with root explorer it doesnt work?

Am i reading correct that u must deodex the whole system first because stock photon cam apk has a odex apk, Are we supposed to delete stock cam and odex apk file before applying the droid3 apk?
[Motorola Photon 4G] JonandRoid:
yeah i deodexed my system and tried everything to get it to work and nothing...even lost my original camera apk and tried to flash some alternatives and they didnt work at all, but i realized i could just replace the original deodexed file saved on my sd card from the transformation and got stock back but id like to know an alternative or get the droid 3 to work.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wis38:
Hi,

Just got the info from my children that mp3 decoding on their phones is not working (music player hangs).

Both have a Galaxy 3 updated with standard Android 2.2 (subversion is slightly different bcause of different phone customzations by the phone provider).

I tried different music players (stock, google music, winamp) but all causes the same effect: phone starts vibrating and the app crashes...

Of course, no troubles with any other media (video, youtube...).

Given all music apps are impacted, I suspect a problem in a system library.

I've searched in the forums, but found no mentions about my problem (strange, it is on two phones, so should be pretty common).

I'd like to stay with the stock rom, so I'd prefer either installing an app self contained (not using sytem libraries for decoding), or somehow fixing the system libraries w/o having to install a new rom.

I'd like to know if I'm the only one in this position, and if you have suggestions for a fix.

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iuli2011:
You must do a hard reset of your phone.

Just type in *2767*3855# and your phone will restart.

Keep in mind that you will lose your data on your phone like: unsaved phone numbers, installed apps, mp3 (all are in your phone internal memory witch will get erased), those stored on you micro sd flash will not suffer any changes, so save your apps(or download them again), mp3,photos on your micro sd.

If this helps you please give me a thanks. :D
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wis38:
Hard reset done on one of the two phones, but problem is still there: mp3 player crashes (I've not yet re-installed 3rd party players, but bug is exactly the same as before the reset: mp3 starts playing few seconds, then phone vibrates and music hangs).

Rom on the two phones is JP4.

Also to note an other strange behavior: the phone shows a warning message when launching apps accessing the network (market, browser) to ask to activate mobile data connection... even when the phone is connected through wifi. This was not the case before the froyo update.

I'm not finding all this much normal...

Any further suggestion (I understand last resource is anyway installing Kyrillos rom)?

Thanks

Try the Miui player works perfect for me on kyrillos rom 9.2

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wis38:
Thanks!

On other forums I found the problem is not uncommon.

Songbird is not exceptional, but does not use the buggy system library and works like a charm.

I've removed the stock app icon just to avoid running it accidentally...

It's a pity not being able to share songs with google music (app is using the buggy lib)

I am very new to some of this stuff. This is my first theme and I hope you like it. I used UOT Kitchen and The framework and systemui apks from the Quantum theme. I wanted to keep the notification toggles in. I hope to be theming the dialer soon and adding more tweaks. Thank me if you want, but I won't be upset if you don't. Give thanks to Jokersax11. I used most of his stuff to put this together. I just wanted to contribute in some way. Please enjoy and don't forget to let me know what you think or give any ideas as to what you might like added. I make no promises though as to what I can get done. Also launcher wallpaper and clock not included.

Note: this is not a Pittsburgh Steelers theme. I am just a fan.

Version 2.2

Added Black Settings menu.

People to thank:

Jokersax11 for his properly working update.zip files (mine never work. lol).

Also for the skinny rom as this would not be possible without it.

Thanks to Motempo for his notification toggles.

Also thanks to Rangerby for bringing the notification toggles to our Mo-phos.

Sorry for forgetting you guys.

KTT16 for his dialer. I just gave it the yellow infusion you craved.

If you want a good Steelers dialer to go with it then head on over to Admiralj21s' page and get his. Also don't forget to thank him.

[Motorola Photon 4G] aikata:
Overall I think the theme is good. I think that the battery indicator. Color could flow with the rest of the theme better (maybe start yellow and fade to red?). The blue vibrate/silence icon looks out of place as well. I find the font difficult to work with also, but it is available without so that's great.

Thanks for your hard work! I'll look forward to the updates.
[Motorola Photon 4G] aikata:
Oh, like the boot animation as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:

Thanks. I plan on making many more. I was going to do a black and blue theme, but Ktt16 beat me to it. lol I just learned to do the .9 pngs so it will allow me to further my theming abilities. I think I am going to try a green theme with custom icons next, but before I do I will try and learn the keyboard and sms theming.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
There is already a green gingerbread theme, (I believe), but I would like to help you theme, I can learn some from you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Most of it is easy. It is the .9 pngs that give you trouble. You need the android sdk, java jre, and eclipse just to edit them properly. Took me about a week to figure it all out. If you want to edit lock screens and some other system and framework icons you will definitely need all those things. I was getting tired of not having the kinds of themes I wanted on here, so I just took it upon myself to learn it. I am still learning, but would be glad to help you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Just updated again. I will try and slow these down. lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] BigSketchySeaBeast:
While I do appreciate any effort towards Photon development.....I gotta say man...this theme is terrible. The screenshots of your home screen are muddled and lack any sort of order. The colors are inconsistent and ugly and the notification and lock screen icons look like crap.

Sorry for ragging on your theme and homescreen setup but it just needs alot of improvement. Keep at it man...you'll get there...try being more minimalistic with it. Only mod what you need to...not everything needs to be completely changed.

Once again I apologize for being harsh and thank you for your contribution.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Well I have been working hard to polish it. I am not offended by your statement after reading your previous posts I have come to the conclusion that negativity is just your nature. Instead of hating on my theme you could take the time and make a nice one of your own. That is if it doesn't eat into your time ragging on other peoples work. I asked that anyone give me input about this theme if they flash it. I wonder if you even tried flashing it or just looked at a couple of screenshots and made your decision there. If it's not appealing to you, then go on to the next theme that does appeal to your liking. Also I am still new to this stuff and as this is my first theme, I know it won't be my best. I however am very proud of it and I think I should be. Instead trolling around here looking for something, I took it upon myself to make my own. What have you done except waste my time by having me put together this reply.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Dude, that was really f'd up man. How was that supposed to encourage more people to theme at all? make your own theme and see if that kind of criticism would be helpful to you.

Notification toggles replaces your systemui apks. Skinny does not have my themed icons nor notification icons. Rangerbrys mod notifications have different icons. I used rangerbrys systemui and themed it in order to include notification toggles in my Quantum theme. Wherever and however they got into your theme, I don't mind it as long as proper credit is given. Thanks.
