[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrwirez:
I had wi-fi tethering working on my droid 2 global, running cyanogen 7.1 [cm4d2g]... If I remember right, I had to piss around to get it working, and at first Verizon had a pop up windows saying they were from the gates of hell and waiting to burn my soul if I used it.... But I got it working. I will check. Unless ICS handles it differently.

I don't really use wi-fi tether but, Verizon still sucks. It would be nice to know I "could". Same with visual voice mail..ALWAYS GOUGING!! :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OSully:
I remember with my dINC there was a way you could dial into settings and enable the tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] getupkid1985:
wifi hotspot by svtp works reliably on the droid charge and also works on the VZW GN as well. I am using the paid version and connecting with my laptop right now. 4.02, non-rooted stock GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patheimata:
I haven't tried EasyTether on a GNex yet. It's still in the mail. But I have it on my unrooted TBolt and it works great on there. It periodically goes on sale on Amazon's Appstore too, so you may be able to pick it up pretty cheap. (I've seen it as low as $4.99; I got it at $7.49 when I finally decided to get it.) Full price is $9.99.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhyno77:
I'm gonna just throw this out there again since there are so many threads on this issue...

My non rooted vzw gn has been wifi tethering since launch, no notification windows from Verizon, no charges, no other tethering apps.

Just stock as it gets.

If anyone can think of specific files they would like me to look at, or if any devs want me to root and take a nandroid (if that's possible at this point, haven't needed to look yet), just send me a pm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paOol:
do you have the tether plan?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhyno77:
No, of course not, that's what I'm saying. It just works. I wonder if 100 percnt of vzw GN owners have actually tried the built in tethering... seems unlikely that I'm the only one sneaking by without any notices or charges to their accounts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dohturdima:
My guess is, very few (who don't have a tethering plan). My guess is that if you update your GN, it may be blocked for you as well.

I am holding on to my Epic 4g for another week because of no wireless tethering option (use it in one place of work). I don't want to miss out on the Verizon double data promotion... Although working PDANet may mean that I can connect through DUN Bluetooth to my laptop (that's how I used PDANet to connect to PC what seems like ages ago with my Blackberry Tour, which had no wifi). Have absolute confidence that it is only a matter of time before devs will have a hacked wifi hotspot working. What bugs me is I can understand when Sprint tries to block access due to its unlimited data, but Verizon? has data caps for most non-grandfathered plans - if anything, overuse of data via Hotspot may mean extra overage charges = $$ profit. FWIW, Necroscan was the dev who hacked it for Sprint OG Epic - maybe he can help as there may be similarities re. how VZW and Sprint use their blocking software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
Yes, I tried. Both wifi and USB tethering. On both I got a popup window asking me to choose a tethering plan. I also tried the Android tethering app, and Barnacle. No go on both.

My phone updated to 4.0.2 before I was able to root it.

You were certainly lucky to receive a phone like this. I'll bet it's one in a million.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhyno77:
I was able to tether before and after the 4.02 update. Ill see what happens when 4.03 rolls out I guess. Anyways, like i said, if the devs hit a wall trying to get it working, send me a pm with what you need. I don't want to mess up a good thing, so I'm staying stock/unrooted for the time being.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
I hate this idea of having to pay for a data plan and then having to pay to use my data in certain ways. Its like buying a beer in a bar and being told you have to pay extra for a glass!

I'm so glad my provider doesn't charge for tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] getupkid1985:
Here is the app I mentioned before: Wifi Hotspot and USB tether by SVTP

They have a free version that lets you trial it. Just make sure you launch the app, which then in turn enables the built in hotspot for ICS.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
easier perhaps? I read about a rom manager you download from the market...

Thanks to what efforts everyone contributes here, I've found after getting out of soft brick, I managed to get root. And I'm almost happy with the handset, now that I got root explorer to work. It works best as a browser for the 20 gigs of junk on my sd card, I've found.

What I have is the SGH-i727 att branded, returned to stock, 2.3.5, my kernel is 2.6.35.11 also I flashed something in the i777 forum, is the reason for "returned to stock". My handle could be adjusted to "stupidbiker". And I've been properly scolded.

So what's a good way to get clockwork mod in my situation?

And I don't care about a warranty or a counter, or does the counter do other bad things?

And a link for operating clockwork mod? Everyone here can push three buttons except me! LOL I've pulled it off a few times on accident, but I bet in here somewhere there is a correct procedure outlined for operating clockworkmod. A link to that would be way cool.

Wow I'm stupid. K. Thanks.

This is question and answer right? I got lots of questions!

Once I get clockworkmod in the device with all the colors, I'm gonna flash a rom, the ice cream rocket I saw, also I want to test CM7, I'm in L.A. and in the LTE area and looks like I could provide input.

I'm using search, but if someone plants a good link it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
download rom manager, install cwm from that, select tmobile galaxy s2 when asked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
see what I found

First you need to flash Clockworkmod Recovery. Then you place the zip on your SDcard, do a Nandroid backup through clockworkmod Recovery (not necessary but highly, highly recommended... especially if you have never done this before.) Then select install zip from SD card, find the .Zip file and run it and you should be golden.

What is nandroid? I use Mybackup Pro. Same sort of stuff right? I'm getting close to getting my arms around everything....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
Thank you for such a quick reply. I am on AT&T. Why would I select Tmobile?

"because that's the one that works"

is an answer I can accept. I'm not fussy just stupid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
Thank you!

I have successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager. I'm so pleased I'm gonna get premium. I see directions! It shows a button for flashing a custom rom that I store on my SD card? Do I dare?

I picked the tmobile thing and so far so good. I got data and just tried a phone call. Happy.

I will follow the other threads now. If a moderator thinks people will get more stupid reading my new thread they may delete it.

I soft bricked

figured out Odin enough to flash back to stock

got root

went to market and installed ROM Manager

turned on wifi as ROM Manager recommended

after a good hookup, I flashed ClockworkMod recovery

Surfed the web, made a phone call, took a picture, uploaded to facebook

Looks like I'm all good.

I'm feeling ready...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
apparently they are very similar (but dont get crazy and start installing the tmobile gs2 kernel/roms) - also there is no skyrocket version yet...

but yes cwm does work perfectly from rom manager when you select tmobile gs2

i did this myself the other day... works fine..

just download rom manager, have fun.. good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GeezyF.Ladies:
hey ****enbiker would you say your kinda ''noobish'' when it comes to this ? lol I'm just super scared to do this. To avoid voiding my warranty I was even thinking of just saving a check and getting a nexus s to fool around with, but if your new to this and would say ''ALMOST anyone can do it'' I'd say I might be game. I just would like to learn somethings from newer rooters rather than annoy/piss off the Vets!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
I have screwed up every phone I got my hands on so not a noob exactly. I am at present using cm7 and considering the new kernel released this morning. What's holding me back is how well it works and how easily I screw up and screen rotation work around is good enough so why flash and set up again... oh I will flash again but just got it all restored back and gotta take it to work tomorrow ...

Yeah pretty much if I can do it anyone can. I really am ignorant compared to a programmer or developer. But not many noobs have broken as much stuff as I have!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
Boot into CWM?

I am having trouble getting CWM to boot on device start-up with the Vol Up Key, is this how you do it or am I doing it wrong?

I can easily get to it from choosing "Reboot into Recovery" from ROM manager but I want to make sure I can get in without Android in case I need to do a full NAND recovery.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
its volume UP and DOWN......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
Wow OK I thought I tried that, anyway it worked! Thanks a lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
YouTube stutters on CM

Okay after I finally settled in with version 4 I have figured out that version 3 it was okay YouTube did not stutter or jerk, it is this new Da_G's kernel when the video went to hell. I remember the problem appeared in version 3 after flashing Da_G's kernel.

I have not tried any other kernel beside Da_G's with version 4. And YouTube is skippy jerking all to our dismay here. Or there, where ever I was to report this, beg pardon.

edit:

I see you don't have to press the power button?

I always begin that way, I press all three at once.

Volume up, volume down, and power.

After it buzzes three times I keep the volume up and down held, but let go of the power button.

I keep the volume up and down held until I see a logo on the screen. Then I let go of the phone and it boots into the scarey black screen with dos writing and you have to navigate with the hardware buttons.

That's how I've been doing it and it puts me into cwm recovery straight from putting the battery back in, every time.

If a true noob is reading this, you're dropping in after I've rooted and then obtained clockworkmod from the market, granted it superuser permissions, and then, after getting past the advertisements, you select to flash clockworkmod.

Also you'll see discussion of not getting a signal and getting an APN. Before you try CyanogenMod or CM7, which is what I use, you take your handset that has a working signal, and download an app from the market called "APN backup and restore" and do a backup of your APN. (not for those who refuse to populate the phone with a chip) (also not for those who don't have a working wifi readily available) Now make sure you have a copy of that on the other chip. The Skyrocket has an internal SD and also an external SD which ATT turns out is too cheap to put one in there when they sell it...

Make sure you have ApnBackupRestore folder with it's xml content on both chips.

Then go to CM7, in the op, get version 4, then go to the kernel thread and get Da_G's kernel, and put them on BOTH sd cards (so you won't have trouble finding it LOL)

And there you have it. Yet another blue collar attempt at helping folks that are smarter than I am that aren't as brave as I am!

Pull the battery, and apparently only hold the two volume buttons after putting the battery back in, never tried it that way! Wipe Data/Factory reset, find the rom and install it, find the kernel and flash that zip as well (install it, trying to help with lingo) reboot, then hook up to wifi, download APN backup/restore from the market (your phone will sync and load it for you when you log in with your google gmail to set up the handset. Run the APN backup and restore app and enjoy CyanogenMod!

My favorite, can you tell, LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Whoa!!!!! COOL STORY BRO.............LOL

I'm sure this will help someone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I don't know for sure, about the vol. up/dn.. but when I rooted my phone, the only way that I could get it to work was power & volume DOWN only. The three button just got me no where.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yang704:
Any rumors of this phone possibly making it's way to the USA? If so which carrier? I'm assuming Verizon due to LTE built.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
No, ATT version just passed FCC test.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
There are rumors of it hitting AT&T, since a version of it passed through the FCC w/ model # GT-N7000B and AT&T bands. There's been nothing to suggest it coming to any other US carriers. I'm skeptical about AT&T, though. The original model passed through the FCC and had AT&T bands, but didn't come to AT&T. But the kicker is the way AT&T is treating current users of the Note. They're recognizing it as a tablet, saying voice plans are incompatible, and killing the data plans (to push people away from using the Note on their phone plan.) It's dastardly and infuriating.

They don't want a converged phone/tablet on their network, as it could cannibalize data plan sales with customers foregoing tablets and just using the Note. See the drama that unfolded over the galaxy tab 7". The international version has voice and SMS, but AT&T stripped them out of their version. Users who bought the international version to bypass the control measures were thwarted the same way they're doing Note users now.

I could be wrong, but this is typical AT&T. Our wireless industry seriously needs an overhauling, about as badly as our patent system. Carriers should not have so much control over customer device selection and utilization.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saumil@xda:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerfest:
If I where you, I would save my cash, and get the international version... the ATT version is nerfed to hell and has subpar performance and parts...

GG AT&T, GG, screwing over everything!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
IF AT&T releases a LTE version, it'll incorporate an inferior Qualcomm chipset meaning slower, laggier, worse battery, and it'll have the 4 capacitive buttons at the bottom instead of a physical home button. I don't get why they insist on screwing up the design like this. The physical home button allows you to wake the screen with it instead of the power button, and it's so much easier to hit the menu and back buttons when each one takes up one side of the home button. The 4-strip of capacitive buttons requires looking to see what you're hitting, and can't wake the phone.

[Huawei Ideos X6] haree:
hi

have u tried it can u kindly give feedback on the same:)
[Huawei Ideos X6] nitindeck:
yes the changes are merely visible but it also don't eats ram or battery so no need to afraid of..
[Huawei Ideos X6] azranashraf:
how to enable it? or the features is automatic?
[Huawei Ideos X6] nitindeck:
it is executed into memory automatically each time android system liberaries are recalled at startup..
[Huawei Ideos X6] azranashraf:
thanks for the answer, will flash this right away,
[Huawei Ideos X6] manukohli:
won 't hq stuff req better hardware

Thought by an mi 410 user frm punjab ;)
[Huawei Ideos X6] preyesh1:
no visible changes are you sure it is applied where to check if it is installed o not
[Huawei Ideos X6] sajokj:
any significant Changes? anyone?
[Huawei Ideos X6] nitindeck:
no its just some hardware acc. like stuff... our hardware is best in single cores

cpu aswell as gpu...
[Huawei Ideos X6] nitindeck:
play a hd video & poor 3gp version of same video before & after applying patch.. it actually increases float frames per sec.. which helps inc. frames, noise canclation & quality. The noise canclation thing might not visible accuratly because of the poor 256k colour display units but you would notice a significant difference by hdmi out... full hd.. :P

yes its surely workin'..
[Huawei Ideos X6] nitindeck:
Actually this stuff is little deep than its name..

our cpu soc is actally divided into sections.. including video encoding,decoding channels,pipelines or whatever they call them.. the video playback & similar stuff is actally handled by these channels.. this follow a certain statergy... This statergy is the bravia engine which is diversed & better than the stock android statergy

Before- More Dependency is on cpu than on gpu

After- Reversed :O

So Don't ask again the same silly questions ;)
[Huawei Ideos X6] manukohli:
installed .... may be found little diff ...... is there any way to kno if brabia is working

Thought by an mi 410 user frm punjab ;)
[Huawei Ideos X6] S.A.W:
will try it out ...
[Huawei Ideos X6] bandukia:
this thing is working.. little change.. but all good
[Huawei Ideos X6] sajokj:
If not doing any hard and finally its good then why not try it. rite?
[Huawei Ideos X6] minahasa:
Over the DHD section, Lordclockan mention that this works as a tweak on the native SE display that supports it. On other device(s) he said it gives placebo effect only.
[Huawei Ideos X6] nitindeck:
Lordclackan is respected personality..

but i don't think there is any placebo effect psychology in this case coz' i have read gsmarena blog.. there nothing special in those displays..

every company says their there stuff is exclusive to them always, make their ®™ & bla bla.... but this not true in each case & these are just marketing stunts... or you can say that bravia engine is a placebo effect psychology, they are not even there on actual se xperia 2011 devices they are just pushing their customers into a placebo psychology...

This is just a statergy..and yes i have stated that this might not visible on our devices coz' of poor contrast & 256k colour display...

but shows diff. by HDMI.. & they don't have HDMI ;) LOL!!!
[Huawei Ideos X6] minahasa:
Frankly, I want to believe that this really works on X6 :)

I have put a DHD and a X6 side by side. Be it that DHD's LCD is bigger, but then it's easy to tell that X6 really gives better images on it's LCD. Pixels are tighter and smoother.

So, aside for the advantage of HDMI, I think X6 will do show improvements on it's display when using this mod.

Have faith.. ;)

[Huawei Ideos X6] Whyzor:
I'm looking to build in better video recording enhancements for the Motorola Triumph (a Ideos X6 variant). right now it has crappy upscaled 1280x720p and 720x480p at 10 fps. I know the hardware is capable of more. This mod seems like it would only enhance video playback, not recording or encoding video. Any pointers (esp to source code or updated proprietary blobs) would be appreciated.
[Huawei Ideos X6] nitindeck:
video recording @ lower fps is hardware limitation no way to improve it like nexus s can't record 720p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
So I just downloaded an album and I was trying to copy it onto my Galaxy Nexus using the Android File Transfer. I kept getting a bunch of errors, like usual, saying I have to reconnect my phone, the phone can't be found, and so on. So I attempt the copy, which failed several times. I reconnect my phone for a 3rd or 4th time, and my entire music folder is gone. Mind you, I did not delete it. So now all my music is gone, I can't simply recopy the music onto the phone because I'm out of the country for the next month and I don't have my computer, nor is Google Music working because it's not available outside the US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
possibly corrupted where that folder was because of the connect/disconnecting. probably going to have a make a new one and download music back to it when you get a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
If you have access to a computer then it's pretty straightforward to fool Google Music into thinking you are in the US and set it up.

I got Cm9 for my droid 3, but im having some auto rotate issues, and i don't have a market app. Any help would be great

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] Rem3Dy:
You could start by posting your question in the thread where you downloaded the from from..........
[Motorola Droid 3] digitalsynner85:
Known issue. Market doesn't work on CM9 correctly yet. Get the APK for the rotate app and email it to yourself.
[Motorola Droid 3] willdo7474:
Or wait till the rom is more stable, its a preview version not quite a daily driver yet.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
The rom is still pretty Alpha. Data is flaky and Orientation doesn't work in this build. The B key on the keyboard also doesn't work. Hashcode is aware of these issues. He's already fixed the Orientation, he just hasn't released that as an update yet. If you want to use it now, you can purchase an app called Orientation Lock ($1.99) and set it to Force Portrait. I'm using it as a daily driver now, but I wouldn't recommend it if you need to actually make phone calls and all that.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
The orientation is fixed in todays build (set to portrait in the Launcher), but rotation is locked in the Launcher for now. Inside apps rotation seems to work fine.

(I hope you didn't purchase the app just for ICS!)

B key is still an issue, it's a conflicting device driver. I was on IRC with the Droid 2 dev and helped him get the hard keyboard running in ICS. He has the same issue.

Phone FCs have been cleaned up greatly.

3G data fixes are in progress.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I bought it for ICS, but it's useful for when I'm laying down and don't want it to go landscape so it's all good lol. Build 5 is awesome btw
