SetDNS (or other similar apps) "speed up the connection" by taking some of the guess work out of trying to find the resource on the web.

Most of the slowness in wireless comes from the fact that a wireless network is like a hub (in that it's a shared medium) so if two or more people transmit at the same time there is a network collision (two or more signals interfear with each other keeping the tower from understanding the request) per TCP/IP protocal all devices involved in the collision must back off for a random amount of time (to ensure they don't all retransmit at the same time again) and try again. This effect grows as the size of the wireless network grows and the more people who are on it. It effects cellular much more than wifi as you can have many more people on a cell tower as it covers much more ground.

***Intermission***

Now when your phone makes a DNS request (usually the browser, but some apps as well) there are actually many steps involved in trying to turn a url into an ip address, there are mutliple ways other than dns to turn a url into an address (most of which are legacy but it still tries anyway) trying all of these ways in addition to trying to find a DNS server means multiple request on the network which increases the likelyhood of collisions thus increasing the latency and causing timeouts (this is why sometimes your browser will start to load a page and then just hang there for awhile.)

***Almost there, Hang on just a little longer***

Now back to setDNS, this app allows you to specify a dns IP address (instead of it trying to find one) thus forcing it to use that address before trying anyother method, so your phone browser (or app) doesn't waste time looking for a dns or trying legacy methods. Thus reducing the request and collision/timeouts on a network, overall making your phone load stuff much quicker.

Works well enough that I use the web version of gmail and google reader instead of native apps (though native apps are generally quicker as they don't have to load the ui everytime you open it and sometimes the app will use an ip instead of a url, though some apps use url's in the code because the resources at needs have dynamically allocated (and thus always changing) ip addresses.)

Does anyone know if the Turbo/Supercharger scripts actually work? I assume any difference seen is minimal and also it may wear down your battery even faster. Battery life on these phones is already precious.
[Motorola Droid X2] eth3rton:
I wouldn't mind flashing a custom ROM on my X2 if I could keep the factory 3G Hotspot that comes stock on the phone. Does anyone know if Eclipse or any of the other ROMs left this app intact or has it been deemed bloatware and removed?
[Motorola Droid X2] dodge_408:
Eclipse 1.3 has it
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Liberty has it too.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Most ROMs do
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Do you mean you are trying to use the stock app because you pay for the service? Or are you just looking for any tether app? All of the ROM's do in fact have the capability built in to do it without paying.
[Motorola Droid X2] iCurmudgeon:
And without being detected by Verizon?
[Motorola Droid X2] dodge_408:
Just use barnacle from the market it only uses ad-hoc so some devices wont be able to detect the hot spot and it is free
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
I second that, barnicle is great and extremely simple

from my X2 roaming the north
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
+1!
[Motorola Droid X2] eth3rton:
I would love to be able to use Barnacle but it don't seem to play nice with what I need. I have tried several times to get it to work. I am using the stock app with the TBH trick and it works.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Are u saying that since im in eclipse I can just go into settings and use the hotspot without needing a hotspot PLAN from Verizon? Ill be sharing my unlimited data connection correct?
[Motorola Droid X2] eth3rton:
Yes but you need to follow this guide :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182940

It works. I had it working on the stock GB X2 ROM but when I flashed Eclipse I had to repeat the work around in the TBH thread above.

To chime in - i had this exact problem until 4:44 eastern time monday.

All her texts came in at once then. Texting to and from others was fine for both her and i, and she could receive my texts.

She is on ATT - perhaps they have that in common.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Milkman00:
I tried to search but found no recent threads on this.

Has anyone else found that Netflix video and audio go out of sync pretty regularly??? I find that the video stutters for a second, and the audio is then out of sync. The video speeds up and catches up with the audio a short time later, then shortly later the problem happens again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sighx:
I have netflix on my tablet o.o and it works great. No out of sync audio with video or any problems
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Milkman00:
Odd.... Are you using a ROM or anything??? I am totally stock (not even rooted yet).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] brownstar69:
I've read about it on another site but not experienced it myself. Are you on the most up to date version of Netflix?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Towle:
What is your download speed? Your internet speeds could be too slow.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SeanHacker:
I'm pretty sure its gotta be your internet speeds bro.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Milkman00:
I meant to add in my original post that it definitely wasn't my bandwidth.

Any other ideas on a stock 10.1???
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mrsbelpit:
The last version of Netflix was horrible like that for me, but the current is perfect. You probably already did this, but uninstall and re-install? Hope it works for you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Zargon335:
The current version of Netflix works great for me. I'm on Task's latest rom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sighx:
I am using Overcome's ROM at the moment.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] brownstar69:
I posted earlier that I had not had the same problem but last night I was watching Top Gear on Netflix and experienced some pretty bad stuttering, but when I played the same show today it was fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ambushbug:
Sometimes when I start Netflix its out of sync and/or stuttery. Usually I just reboot the tab and then it works fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] etperez22:
I have the same issue.. My audio/video will get out of sync. I have a T-Mobile galaxy tab 10.1 with stock everything without a root.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kmmxracer:
I was having this same issue wile watching some videos with my kids today. I usualy fixed its self but it was very annoying. I was on stock 3.2 at the time, latest version of netflix and my intenet is prety darn fast.

I'm running Task's 7.0 rom at the moment. I'll have to test and see if it makes a difference.

ICS thoughts

I am really hoping that ICS will get ported to the Infuse, I have been running an alpha on my Inspire for the last 2 days and I really like the direction it takes Android. It will look better on the slightly bigger better Infuse screen and faster proc.

Cheers

[Samsung Infuse 4G] thumbsinblack:
The kernels are veeeery different though (2.6.35 for GB, 3.x for ICS unless I'm mistaken) so I'm not too sure what we can do unless someone compiles one from source...........

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
I know someone will port it. I can see LB working on it right now. We just need to be patient and it will come.

And D, I'm sure you are also working on this. Port masta
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AJerman:
Sorry for the delay in getting something out. Due to a specific bug and general lack of power on my main system, I've decided to set up a MONSTER build system that should build ICS in no time. The issue is, it's not wanting to install Ubuntu 64 bit. With Ubuntu 32 bit it will only show up as 8 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM (though that should be more, it's still a very small fraction of what it has). I've been trying all day to get it to install and it's been fighting me every step of the way from EFI issues to SATA III issues. Once I get it up and running I should be able to get some builds going. Stay patient! :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] N0ctrnl:
Well, if it helps any, I've got a Fedora 15 box I do my builds on. I've got a ssh port open for it. You're welcome to use that for the time being if you'd like. It's a little older, but it builds nicely (Dual 3.2GHz Xeon, 12GB RAM).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Maybe you can do something with this: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/cm9-cyanogenmod-9-for-galaxy-s/ Remmeber our device is pretty much the same thing as this with few differences, letting hope rain on us :). You guys could use that to start, just a problem is since it is related to Cyanogen mod maybe linux is a guy to contact, he will not answer my pms idk he may be gone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
We're definitely going to need a kernel developer to bring us Linux 3.x.x.x
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
Have you tried messing with a kernel before?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Linux bozo could (wont answer, prob not happenin) bedwa maybe could (I think he is amature, doesn't know all tricks) ummm entropy ( loves gs2, may do it but doesn't like developing on infuse as much). That's really our only options right now. We can try em all, but def no garuntees.

Just the problem is I can't really send it that well, naybe through a letter but idk if people want to give me their address if they win. Best way would be just to take a pic of cod and send or just give the code to them. Sorry I can't use paypal, I'm just a kid haha.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pwnyourace:
Can't u just email the codes?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Ryanscool, I answer my PM's. I didn't realize you needed a reply. I'm still around, just severely limited in personal time right now due to some life situations requiring my full attention: Basically, trying to sell some rental property after tenants moved out, which requires major upgrades, and I do all the work myself, no money for contractors in the budget. So yeah, not only do I build code, but I was raised blue collar so know my way around a hammer, drywall and flooring, so now you guys all know my little secret.

Basics though, yes, it will require kernel changes to get anything going properly, most notably, for working touchscreen as ICS changed the way the frameworks handle touch control that the kernel must handle. I am closely following what the TeamHacksung guys are doing, and pointing AJerman in the right directions as he asks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] N0ctrnl:
As always, you're our hero.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
That's cool, sorry I was just afraid you left anyway good luck with your building, and thanks for keeping us updated. Means a lot, ill enjoy ics until that gnexus is out for att, then my parents are going to enjoy my phone (ill still use my infuse a lot). Anyway I wonder why they changed the touchscreen programming.

Thanks LB for all you do and good luck on your project.

We all know some people don't get that our Devs have a life and sometimes personal problems arise. Instead of asking, Did LB leave the forums? We should be asking, I hope everything is ok with him.

And just to help a little to get the whole bar color changed you will need the framework Res, any device framework file and the contacts apk. Each section is a seperate .9.png that will need to be remade and then run the the tool in the sdk tools.

first, there is a lot of info in the rules but the word swearing was never included. a quick search and ye shall not find it. and i found your use of language by talking down to me very offensive. its a "two way street" remember.

second, a better way is to decompile the framework in apkmanager, edit the files in gimp/photshop/whatever, compile back with apkmanager. no messing with the 9 patches. but you already know that. because you know everything. senior moderator.

edit:

did you seriously tell me about swearing? this is right in your sig. practice what you preach son.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenny buster:
try apk manager. take your framework and put it in place-here-for-modding folder. run script. select 22 to set your project, select framework-res.apk. select 9 to decompile, keep the terminal open. the files you want to edit are in the projects folder. if you mess with the .9 png's dont touch the 9 patches on the outsides of the image. also, write down all the files you edit, youre going to need it later. after youre done making all your changes, go back to the terminal and select 11 to compile. if youre editing a system apk select Y when it asks you, then say Y to limit the amount of errors. it will then ask you to delete all the files you edited from the keep folder, the keep folder has all the original files, you want to delete all the files you edited from the keep folder so it can overwrite the originals with the edited ones. if you edited any xml files, delete the resources.arsc file also. after you deleted all the files you edited from the keep folder, go back to the terminal and press any button, it will finish compiling the apk. thats it :)

edit: i think its called apk multi tool now but i believe its all the same
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrusalmighty:
I appreciate that detailed explanation. I couldnt do anything with the program, because I never hit 22 to set the project in the first step.lol. Now I was successful in decompiling my systemui.apk to swap out files & change colors in statusbar clock/date with another systemui.apk from a theme. I thought I did it right by compiling ,signing it afterwards, & changing permissions as I placed back in system/app folder but It just kept force closing anyways? The files I swapped were Clock.smali-Clock$1.smali & Dateview.smali- Dateview$1.smali. Dont know if these files are only in Sony Ericsson xperia play as this is phone im working with or what. Anyways thanks for helpful advice. Did you get any help with xml? Maybe try posting in phone specific forum?
