[LG Optimus Black] umz_786:
I tried to find an answer from google and xda but couldnt find exactly what I was looking for.

I have moved my Xbox360 into the back room of my house where there is a 60inch tv to connect to but the wifi doesnt reach there. I am trying to put my phone outside that room (where the wifi can be used) and create a hotspot using the wifi connection and not the 3g. The problem is, all the apps only have tethering using 3g connection, not wifi.

Is it possible to tether using wifi connection instead of 3g and is there is an app?

Thanks

Dont you have a cheap router that can be used as repeater? Dont think there is ap like that for Android (correct me if i am wrong)

I got a repeter with 22 euro router (dir-300b) flashed with DD-WRT and it works great.
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
That is exacly what I was going to write. I can add that there are many cheaper routers ( i.e. Edimax, TP-Link, Ovislink ...) then D-Link which can do repeating ( or extending ) without flashing anything.

example: http://www.tplink.com/en/article/?id=250
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
You want to using the phone for repeater? AFAIK, it can't. You should consider to buy router as posted above.

i have right now a new nook color running 1.2.0

i want to put CM7

it the way described here will do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=88qRbLLEAPQ#

1.install CWM on SD card with CM7 and gapps on it

2.delete system data cache

3.install cm7 and gapps

it this the right way?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Create image with CWR

Place CM7 and gaaps file on card.

Format system, data and cache and wipe Davlik

Install CM7 first, then install gaaps, pull card and reboot.

Note, if installing the CM7 7.1 stable do not install gaaps the first time. Install CM7, pull card and reboot. Then put card back, boot into CWR again and install gaaps.

Use version 3.2.0.1 of CWR!

Just putting an update that I suffered a LOS (circle with line) yesterday while in the back of a local Target. Let it sit for 10 minutes once i got back to my car and it didn't restore the signal. Had to reboot it...

Running caulkin 2.5.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sollymon:
I also just updated to el13 and experienced an LOS just now. Had to hard reboot. I am unrooted on stock el13 rom, modem and kernal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shigella:
Did you guys have full bars or good signal when this happened? I am el13 modem and on blazer 3.1 and have not noticed any los. I only get the crossed out circle like once in front of mutt house, but that's because sprint's signal in my area sucks and I got service again within a few seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Hit the back of the store and got 4 bars in roaming. Walked towards teh front of the store and lost the roaming single and then hit the No Signal for the LOS...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Lol.

Could we possibly stop using the word "suffered" when talking about LOS in general?

(yes, I know that "by definition", it's acceptable)

It just sounds so dramatic.

I typed "Man Suffers from" into a search bar, and got all but one of these results:

1) Man suffers from frostbite: loses both legs and one of his arms.

2) Man suffers from chemical burns on over two-thirds of his body.

3) Man suffers fatal crash injuries...

4) Man suffers when, temporarily, his portable telephone just wouldn't work right.

Is it just me?

#FirstWorldProblems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
I'll have to agree with #4 on that list. These days people have no lives and are over dramatic about everything. Now, if only LoS would kick in on people when they're driving...

OP, how about telling us what 'EL13' you have. Everything or just the rom, kernel, or modem? That matters a lot. Mostly because anyone who's done the full update, not just one or the other, isn't having LoS issues from everything I've read.

The short version - you're not the first to claim this.

They pushed the EL13 update OTA?? That's news to me - thought they were still rolling out EK02.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
I am also stock EL13 rom, the only thing different is that I am rooted and have the o/c kernal. Would get LOS about 3-4 time a day, but ever since loading EL13 rom I have yet to have a LOS and it has been a couple of days already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crzchn:
There is no such thing as Stock EL13. El13 is a leamed ROM. Only roms that come from sprint are stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Asian Kyle:
i am also running calkulins v2.5.1 rom with the new senzation theme and am experiencing los. after i reboot my phone it's okay for a little but then it will come back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
I've gotten data LOS a couple times since EL13. The phone worked, but when I tried to open the Market or anything else that needed data, it just told me there was no connection to server. Rebooting is the only thing that fixed this issue.

I NEVER got voice or data LOS of any type on EG30 or EK02.

I'm running Calk's 2.5.1 E4GT ROM too btw. The only ROM's I've ever ran are his E4GT ROM's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Are all of you using the EL13 modem along with an EL13 rom and kernel?

Also, if you've themed your rom you really should go back to stock EL13 and test from there instead of posting about LoS in a rom you've changed.

Not saying this isn't possible but then again it could just be your phone. But posting "I have LoS on EL13" give us nothing. EL13 what? What all have you changed since going to your current setup?

Believe it or not - those things matter. Otherwise this is a pointless whiny thread.

To me "Stock"= (not modified) it does not mean offical.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenaciousj:
EL13 Rom/Kernel/Modem and no LOS for me. With the EG30 kernel built from source I would get LOS constantly but not on the stock pulled one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crzchn:
I am not kidding. Why would you think I am? I would consider stock something that, if bought into a sprint store, would not cause strange looks and a push out the door.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crzchn:
Well, what does it mean?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
I know what you are referring "stock" as, for you:

stock=official rom..etc release as in EG30/EK02

Again for me:

stock= a rom..etc not modified

So there is two ways looking/meaning at the work "stock"

Since this tread is talking about "EL13" we all know it is not a official release, but as a tech in order to trouble shoot you need to start at a stock ref point. Meaning no modification added to the rom.

Yes if I took the phone to sprint I would return it to stock meaning official software released in this context.

Example: Just look at the development, you see "EL13 stock rom..etc" this and that. If a person does not know better he would think this is a official release but most people would know it is an unofficial release with no modification add.

So in this context stock means no modification.

Many words take on different meanings depending on the ways it is used, if you want to really be correct my sig could say "unofficial stock EL13" meaning it is not a official rom but I have not made any modification to the rom.

unofficial=not stock

stock=not modifiied
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I had ghost LoS yesterday. Phone calls weren't working nor texts or Data. Had to reboot. EL13 on Calk's 2.5.1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HappyFillmore:
I thought I was getting Los but only with certain apps. Mainly call master. i love the app but damn it ****s with telephony service. EL13 rom and modem. Since I got rid of call master no Los what so ever. I would have stuck with E0k2 but wanted a rom with no traces of CIQ.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Asian Kyle:
I was at kernel EK012 with clockwork then I flashed Calkulins v2.5.1 and flashed the new senzation theme and I am currently at kernel el13

and now I get los
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
EL13 is 'stock' in the sense that it came from Samsung. It's not an official release since it's yet to be pushed to our device - probably never will be with ICS rolling out very soon. It's still a stock rom though.

Even 'stock' roms on here are not stock according to your theory since they have SU, busybox, or something else added to them. Our ACS 'stock' kernels aren't stock either. It's just semantics. Official vs. stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Well, if we really want to get technical the only stock rom is one that comes with the device when shipped, which would be EG30, anything else sent out by sprint (official or not) would be modifications to the "stock" device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crzchn:
Hacking on cars for a lot of my youth has given me my current idea of what "stock" means.

A part was stock it was built by the manufacturer who built the car. I could not sat a car was completely stock if one part was not original. However, if there was a recall on a part that part would also be considered stock. Sound familiar?

Yes, words have different meanings, but they should mean the same thing to the same group.

If I said the word stock to a chef, I would assume you have a different understanding of the word.

So as a group, to limit confusion, I feel we should have the same definition.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Wow... You people are awesome! Ever wonder why a majority of other sites don't like XDA because of the smugness of the user base?

Hey english scholars. Why don't you look up the actual definition of the world before you make a comment about it use... Did you seriously feel the need to post in public about it instead of just sending me a text?

Why don't you actually do something useful, like actually answer the original post instead of hijacking it because you are unable to do anything else.

I already posted.. Caulkin 2.5.1 using EL13 rooted kernel (1.1.2) and the EL13 Modem.bin flashed over EK02 which was flashed over EG30 (which was flashed over EG31). Using the EG30 Odin flash, then the EK02 CWM flash followed by the EL13 CWM flash.

Samsung has a long history of these problems. We originally worked on different solutions for the Samsung Moment but finally got a fixed modem that didn't show a huge persistance, but until the EOL on the moment, it still suffered from data lockup (and it still does, although some custom kernels have attempted to fix it).

Thats not true either. It depends on the manufacture date of the rom chip. Any chip manufacturered from this day forward will be initially flashed with the ek02 package. Granted they probably wont be manufacturing any new chips until the stockpile of the old ones are used up... EK02 is also based on a different build of Android instead of just rolling an update package over the base frame of eg30 (atleast thats what i remember.. 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 correct?)

That is pretty much true..

You can think of stock as anything OEM, while non-stock is After Market. Infact that is an actual definition of Stock as being OEM parts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
ive had it on blazer 3.1 at my home.. sucks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
Yes and No

Since we are talking cars, I have a 94 Covette if I don't change nothing the motor for example then the car is stock.

Now if I change the motor and put a 454, now the vette is not stock as a whole but if I did not make any mods to the motor the 454 is stock.

Then I race and lets say I win..lol...the person will ask what do you have in that thing, I would say a "stock" 454 but if he knows his cars he would know that is not stock since it come with a LT1 out of the factory so as a whole the vette is not stock , but I won with a stock 454 in a 94 vette.

I have a stock 454, 94 vette? True the motor got swapped and no modifications to the motor were made ie heads/cams..etc.

I have a stock LT1, 94 vette? True the motor is OEM and has not been modified.

In this thread numus you werer having issues with LOS on EL13, and many people including myself are on EL13 with no issues, but I am "stock EL13" meaning I did not make any mods to the rom. That is why myself and KCRic were asking if you were running or needed to go to a pure "stock" EL13 meaning do not make modification and see if the issue of LOS would return.

You can look at this as the ET4 being the car and the Roms being the motor.

In general there can be two meaning to the word "stock" just how it is used at the time.

Another word is "bad"

Man you are "bad"=meaning you s3$%$#%

or

Man you are "bad"=meaning you kick a$$

Well that is it for me on this subject, before I get banned...lol....since we hijacked the ##$@# out of this thread.... 8)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shigella:
I must be lucky or something because I use to get LOS like one or twice every couple of days back when starburst was still being actively worked on (phone was on eg30 at the time). I have not experienced any los ever since I've been on blazer v1-3 eg30 and then el13 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
The android OS itself is probably not the problem. We have seen this before in other Samsung phones and it has to do with the tower handoff in the RIL. We had someone who knew who to decompile a RIL but that was years ago and never really produced that many results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
same but with unnamed ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Afteraffekt:
Running El13 modem myself, and have not had LOS since it was leaked. ON Eko2 I never had LoS. On EG30 I had LoS atleast 15 times a day, and I am NOT exaggerating on this. happened nearly once an hour, and wouldnt return till i pulled battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Allow me to quote you numus:

All you said was what rom you were running. No kernel, no modem. Then everyone else chimed in that they were running EL13 - no mention of what rom, kernel, or modem.

Since you want to try to insult and attack people here lets go this route. You want to sarcastically state that we believe we're English scholars and we should look up a definition. How about you being the science major go read up on the scientific method.

What we have here are too many variables. No baseline for performance stated, no real hypothesis either. Maybe you're trying to find a common factor in LoS, fine. State that people post their rom w/ version, kernel w/ version, modem, any other mods, and how they upgraded (.zip, .tar, ODIN, CWM, ADB), do they have the original or GSM bootloader, and when it occurs. Like this:

------------------------------------------------------

Calkulin 2.5 w/ Rouge 1.1.2 (flashed w/ CWM)

EL13 modem, previously EG30 (ODIN)

Original bootloader

Using suwu10's Blue **** theme built for UnNamed 2.0.1

No LoS.

------------------------------------------------------

Now we can start finding the common factor in LoS instances. Without that info it's nothing but a waste of server space and moderator time to keep this thread going.

Helped me when I was getting LoS on EG31...

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Are you seriously that dense? The entire post is based upon the EL13 LOS which is modem based... If you can't figure that out than you really shouldn't be posting at all in any attempts to help people.

Sorry that i am use to talking to people who know what they are dealing with and I don't have to spell out every little detail...

But since you want to go down the list and apperently need your hand held for every little detail:

rom w/ version - Pretty sure i spelled that out

kernel w/ version - well since I didn't specify I flashed a seperate kernel.. why dont you just figure that i am on the default kernel packaged with the rom i loaded?

modem - The entire problem with LOS is located within the modem and RIL

How they upgraded (.zip, .tar, ODIN, CWM, ADB) - Doesn't make one damn bit of difference since both flash methodologies are generated from the same files. As long as the phone boots properly and changes basebands it means the entire partition was flashed correctly.

Do they have the original or GSM bootloader, and when it occurs - once again has no reasoning to interfer with the Radio/Modem interface and cause LOS issues...

Need me to spell out more?!?

How about the only 2 things that really can cause this problem are the modem and the kernel? The kernel files are built around the RIL and may cause drops but more then likely don't. As in the past, it appears to be a problem with the modem hanging when it attempts to pass off the active connection between towers and possibly network providers. Once it drops the connection with the last tower and attempts to establish the connection with the new tower it locks up and doesn't release like it is suppose to...

Know what else is a waste of server space and moderator time? People posting in threads trying to act like they know what they are talking about and bash on other people when they bring up a simple notification....

It isn't a solution, it is only a bandaid for the problem and can cause boot loops if the phone is in a low or poor service area which can eat the battery like nothing else. It would be better to have the option to switch it into airplane mode instead of rebooting the phone if that is the situation. The only way it works on restarts is on a partial LOS (or ghost LOS) where the modem chip is still trying to transmit to a tower it is no longer connected with.. you can force a disconnect and it will reconnect upon reenabling the radio..

In a full los the modem chip apperently locks itself up and wont take commands... That is why you have to depower the chip and have it power back up with during the boot sequences to get it to function again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Suprcynic:
I haven't had one since I switched from the EG30 modem. I haven't had one yet on EL13 or on any other modem besides EG30
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Actually.. A lot of people are having LoS with the EL13 package...

The circumstances for establishment of LOS are different in each location due to network and tower configurations. It has absolutely nothing to do with the rom and probably has nothing to do with the kernel. Let alone a combination of them. I am sorry you are so worked up because you don't actually understand what is really going on with the phone and have to attempt to act like you have a clue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
So basically Kernel has nothing to do with modem radio performance ?

There are Custom kernels galore floating around in EVO forums improving stock signal performance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
Based on what I've seen with my phone, kernel certainly does change radio performance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Me to why its being denied is beyond me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Let's keep the personal attacks to a negative number, and the conjecture to a dull roar. The reality is that a new phone with EK02 on it still experiences LOS and EL13 (which is really just EK02 without CIQ) also does.

If you fail to enter into a discussion with your knowledge of the XDA Rules in tow, you will be reminded of them forcefully.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Great explanation on kernel inner working but I think your missing something.

Updated EVO stock kernel & customs also affected data speed which is signal related....Netarchy-Toastmod kernel for example.

It was my fav kernel due to data speed increase it provided speedtest confirmed it.

Many of its users also found greatly improved data speeds with it on board as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Let me give you a simple example of how the kernel could be related.

There is a bug in some mode of the radio. They haven't figure out what it is, but it only happens in certain modes. They change the kernel to avoid those modes. Now you've moved a problem in the radio into something where the kernel is involved.

I am *NOT* saying this *IS* what is happening, but unless one actually knows the problem it is really hard to say what does and doesn't affect it. There have been many folks who had no LOS at all, but then after installing a custom recompiled kernel, started seeing LOS. Now that doesn't necessarily mean the custom recompiled kernel is at fault because the LOS happens even on stock kernels, but it appears to exacerbate the underlying problem. So it could be timing related. It could be CPU speed related. It could be a race condition somewhere with the kernel reacting to some signal the radio gives it and switching to a different mode whilst the radio is not in a position to accept that mode change. In some situations, even if you don't fix the radio, you can work around the problem in the kernel. Maybe the radio is actually fine, but the kernel is doing something in a sequence the radio isn't supposed to be working with. Sometimes this happens with multi-cpu systems because the ordering of actions changed from the singe-cpu version.

I don't know where the core problem is, but I'm pretty confident the kernel has the ability to affect the severity of the problem. This is from observation rather than theory.

Now we can argue about where the core problem is till the sun goes down, but I don't think it is going to lead to any solutions. If you had a specific piece of code to look at, then we could focus on that and think of ways it might cause the problem or ways it could be fixed.

Otherwise we are just wasting energy arguing over things we aren't in a position to fix.
