[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John wags:
Since the arrival of latest Android Phones, we have been seeing people searching for the most reliable and trustworthy Android VPN Providers. It has not been easy for anyone of us, searching for VPN provider that can support our latest Android Phones settings. In fact this has not been easy for us to compile this entire list of Android VPN Providers.

Setting up commercial VPN on Android 3.0 or older versions is a piece of cake nothing to worry about. You just have to tap here and there on your New Android Phone and you are connected.

Before providing you with the step by step process, I would again mention the ‘disclaimer’ that this blog-post is not for the experts or techies, but this is for those who are new to VPN or android and want to setup their VPN accounts for the first time on their Android Phones.

Let’s cut the crap and start with the tutorial, I will first tell you how to setup a simple PPTP VPN connection on your Android Phone.

Go to your Phone settings.

Tap on Wireless Controls and then VPN Settings.

Click ‘Add VPN’ and you are Half way through J

Tap on “Add PPTP VPN”. Do not worry about others, we will let you know about the other protocols as well.

Add your “VPN Name”. It can be your name, you can even name it “I Do not need VPN”

Now the so-called difficult part arrives, entering the Server Name. Server Name can only be entered, if you have a VPN account, or you have setup your own VPN. If you do not have both, please do not try this, you will not get anything :P

Server name is being provided by the VPN Provider, it will be like “usa.bestvpnservice.com”.

You can enable the encryption here. (If VPN still does not work, try again after disabling it)

Do not worry about DNS Search Domains until or unless you are planning to use Internal DNS Server, if yes enter them here.

Save the Settings and You are all set with your New VPN Connection on your Android Honeycomb.

Now, comes the connecting part. Go to your VPN Settings and there you will get your added VPN connection. Tap to connect it and enter your Username and Password, which you will get after paying your VPN Provider. You will see a small Key like icon on the Top, which means you are now safe, secure and anonymous in the digital world. You can disconnect your VPN by going to the same area with VPN settings and tapping on your connected VPN Connection.

I hope it will helpful for you to configure settings on your Android. Currently i am Using my Ipad its more easy as compare to Android.

To see Ipad VPN and its seetings:

[Atrix 4G General] rickriego:
anyone know of a widget that can display each cpu status in live time i.e. freq andwhether online or off?
[Atrix 4G General] Dirtburgler:
Setcpu has a realtime widget. Shows temp, max and minimum setting and current processor freq. Can also be set to check only at certain intervals. I set mine to update every 5 seconds
[Atrix 4G General] rickriego:
yea.. i used to ise setcpu but i like the widget and controls of System Tuner Pro better. only thing is in System Tuner under cpu tweaks you can actually see if and when the 2nd core is turned off. I'm looking for a widget that can reflect that, so that i dont have to open the program to see it..thx tho!
[Atrix 4G General] Dirtburgler:
Ya I know what you mean. I think with ivs we will have better core management abilities.

I have download some games with my HTC DHD and the Wilffire and the game on the HTC W are lazybones, slow motion ... but not on DHD. Any idea ??

Jahwol
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
It's not too difficult really. Compare the hardware specs of the DHD and Wildfire and you have your answer.

DHD - Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 1GHz CPU, Adreno 205 GPU

Wildfire - Qualcomm MSM7225 528MHz CPU, NO GPU.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidino95:
Dont you remember? Wildfires cpu is also snapdragon. It was in your thread. Im just using my bragging rights. :p
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
LOL I'll rephrase :D

DHD - Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 Scorpion MSM8255 1GHz CPU, Adreno 205 GPU

Wildfire - Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7225 528MHz CPU, NO GPU
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahwol:
Hi, not really because the same games are installed on the phone of my daughter (sony XPERIA X8) and they run fine... Strange
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
X8 also has a GPU (Qualcomm MSM7227 600MHz CPU, Adreno 200GPU). So, nothing strange about it.

Well I received my Rogers 4G (faux-3G, model is'GT-P7500R'.) Galaxy Tab, rooted it (ClockworkMod Recovery) and backed it up with Titanium Backup. I tried to flash the 3G version of Bindroid on it following all the steps in the thread and it froze but it didn't work and got stuck on the 'Samsung Galaxy Tab' logo. Thanks to the backup, I was able to restore my tablet and get everything working again.

I'm not sure what exactly went wrong. Did I install the wrong ROM and if so what ROMs are compatible with my tablet?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peadarog:
Hi folks,

I play music in my car via an aux cable. The sound is great. However, if I run my sat. nav. app. (copilot 8) at the same time, the directions from the app. seem to be coming from the phone's speaker rather than from the radio speaker. It is almost impossible to hear the instructions.

Most people here are smarter than me. Do any of you know why the sound won't come from my radio? I have turned the sound on copilot up full, btw.

thanks a lot.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychuil:
For some reason, around a few days ago, my G2 started killing it's mobile data connection sometimes when the GPS is being called upon.

It happens around 70% of the time whenever a GPS signal is needed.

Also, the gps icon in the notification bar keeps on flashing.

Using a CM7.0.3 atm, but i've tried to wipe everything and install 7.1.0 and the problem persists.

Gonna try a stock TMo rom later as well.

I suspect it could be the carrier's fault, since i moved to a new carrier 11 days ago, but as it is in my country, unless i've got some kind of proof i can't really complain.

I've got a logcat dump (-b radio) from right after the 3G dying here. Main problem is that i can't really make any sense out of it.

I'd love your input regarding this, and if you can locate the problem in the logcat it would be completely awesome.

* Giving the phone to anyone to fix isn't really an option :(

And check this out. You may need to try out another radio, and another rom, as I see you plan to. Go to G-Lite before you go fully stock, and I would try putting another radio on your CM7 rom before you go to G-lite.

Happy Hanukkah!

Hi, i just downloaded a MIUI 4.0 Rom and have some resource and want to share with every one like MIUI but don't want waste time to download rom not compatible with their phone :p

This is a bootscreen and some icon i found in rom and make it in :

.zip file flashable with roboto font

Both tested on my phone and works fine :D

[Android Themes] pablotheescobar:
Alright well, I rooted my HTC Hero CDMA with CM7 about 3 months ago. You know it has all of the rooted stuff that usually comes with it. I have theme chooser and you know when you select a theme after you install it you would think that it would change over? No it doesn't at all. Even after I restart it, it still just does the status bar at the top. Nothing else. It's like ADW has more say in the themes than the theme chooser does. I was just wondering if anybody else has had this problem and would know how to resolve this issue. Thanks-Pablo
[Android Themes] Nick281051:
Have you tried multiple themes? Some themes don't theme the icons
[Android Themes] pablotheescobar:
Yes I did. It still only change the notification bar and the widgets. I mean I see themes like minimal bread and they look gorgeous. I just want to get my phone looking like that.
[Kindle Fire General] Moodooo:
I have tried to root my kindle with the Kindle Fire v7 and have had no luck, It comes back with The system cannot find the path specified, I have installed the drivers and my kindle shows up as Android Composite ADB Interface. Thanks for any help in advance. I have also tried the burritoRoot with no luck. I am on version 6.2.1 I have never had problems with any android devises before but this seems alittle different. :confused:
[Kindle Fire General] Fairtrade128:
i have the exact same problem. would really appreciate some help
[Kindle Fire General] claytybob:
I had this problem and here are the steps I took to fix it.

Go to Google's website and manually download and install the SDK, at the end when it asks you to open the utility to download images and such, uncheck the box and click finish.

Download the Kindle Fire Utility v.7

Connect your Kindle Fire to your usb port.

Go to Start Menu -> Accessories -> Run and type in "devmgmt.msc" (without quotations)

There should be an "unknown device" with the name of Kindle Fire (or close to it), right click that and click update driver software.

Click "Browse my computer for driver software"

Hit Browse and locate the "drivers" folder in the Kindle Fire Utility folder

Click next and let it install the software

Go into the Kindle Fire Utility folder and run "run.bat"

Everything should work as expected from here on out, or at least it did for me :P
[Kindle Fire General] Fairtrade128:
I think for both us we already have the drivers installed. the problem is in running the actual bat for the utility. unless maybe we did something wrong in installing the drivers, but i don't think so. I actually used the exact same method to install the drivers as you did.
[Kindle Fire General] sadalius:
Check your system path for what the program is trying to run. If the path is there, make sure the file its calling is there. Google adding a path to windows for more info.
[Kindle Fire General] Fairtrade128:
I think he problem has to do with the program not finding the kindle
[Kindle Fire General] Moodooo:
I am good all the way to "run.bat" and when i do i get (ADB Status: Online, ADB Rooted: No, Boot Status: Unknown, So i put in #3 and press enter withch is Install Perment Root with Superuser, that is when i get all The system cannot find the path specified.
[Kindle Fire General] Fairtrade128:
alright, so i was parusing around, and i think i found a solution. don't know why it works, but i think it will help you

Any help?

try this it may work:

open a cmd windows from your sdk tools folder, not the platform-tools, just tools and run this:

android update adb

then go to your user folder c:\users\username there should be a folder named .android in there, open adb_usb.ini and add this line at the bottom

0x1949

save close and update driver again, hope it works

credit goes to iluretar btw. make sure that you have the android sdk before doing this. delete whatever driver you had before this. after doing this, install the drivers manually through device manager and browsing to the folder included with the utility. and then...it works...for me at least, not sure why. oh, and...er...not sure where you find the link to android sdk, but i'm sure someone can provide you with that...
[Kindle Fire General] Moodooo:
Well I guess im still not doing it right cause im still getting The devise not found.:(
[Kindle Fire General] N64Overclocked:
I moved my install_drivers.bat file from the drivers folder to the same folder as run.bat and ran it (install_drivers.bat that is). It seemed to install correctly. Now, however, my kindle will not mount. So when I try to use the utility to install TWRP, it stops at "Installing TWRP... If we get stuck here for a while, power the kindle on and off a few times. < waiting for device >"

I have rebooted my device 6 times and it still does not work. My device no longer mounts, I can't even see it in device manager. I tried installing the drivers manually prior to moving install_drivers.bat. This seemed to work but I ran the install_drivers.bat after moving it anyway, maybe that makes me a noob.

Anyway, is there a way to fix this? I want root on my device!

EDIT: Here is the script I am getting in cmd when I run install_drivers.bat. I realize that the problem is I am running Windows 7 x86. But is there a way to run it for x86 instead of x64?
[Kindle Fire General] Clemzon:
Here is what i did. First off, not just any data cable works, i found that lg cable dont like adb. Some samsung cables give me trouble too. But anyways. Click start menu, type device, click and open device manager the go back to start type device again and open device and printers. If the kindle has installed its drivers then you should see "kindle" in DEVICE AND PRINTERS click on kindle go to properties select driver "tab" and hit uninstall. Open device manager and make sure its still sees the kindle as ADB interface. If so then you should be all set. This should be done after editing the adb_usb file and updating the google drivers.
[Kindle Fire General] lynkdead:
Thank you, this is what finally got it working for me. I had tried everything; installed 3 different USB drivers, edited files, moved files around, all with no signs of progress. Finally this approach made everything work perfectly!

THANKS, that worked like a champ. After I did that it work.

Hey all!

Been a member for a while but I haven't really looked into this freebie things.

I found a site while searching for the iphones, not that I want one but just for fun.

The site freeiphone5.co offers a free iphone if you do an offer of some kind.

I signed up and they redirected me to something called freebiejeebies(?)

Now I have read up a bit and it seems like I have to redirect people to the same site using my username or something.

DO this kind of free stuff work?

I'm wondering since there is a lot of people showing off their gifts and if anyone of you have got something it would be nice to hear that it works.

I've been having some issues with the kindle file utility. I keep have the error "the system cannot find the file specified" this error pops up with virtually everything i try to do, even when i try to install the drivers. Any idea whats going on? I saw in the main forum for the kindle fire utility that a few other people had the same issue, but no one had responded to them.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daneus:
I guess you are trying to run the "install_drivers.bat" script in the drivers subdirectory. Just move it one level higher (where the run.bat is) and it should work.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fairtrade128:
thank you, that worked perfectly. unfortunately, i am still having the same issue with the utility itself. any guidance?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daneus:
The "install_drivers.bat" utility is kinda hackish - it tries to run both 64-bit and 32-bit devcon utility hoping one of them suceeds. The other one always throws error (AFAIK).

Btw. I had to manually install Windows drivers for Kindle Fire. Just open the Device Manager and check if there is a yellow exclamation mark beside the "Kindle" device. If it is there, click "Update driver" in the context menu and point the wizard to the drivers subdirectory of Kindle Fire Utility - it should install the drivers and the device in the listing should be called "Kindle Fire ADB Interface" or something like that.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fairtrade128:
It does show up as that in device manager for me, but the utility still doesn't work
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartsplanet:
Check your home directory to make sure .android\adb_usb.ini exists. If not, copy it to there from the drivers directory of the utility package.

Is it safe ?

I am from romania amd the carrier is vodafone...and just want a clean and stock build ...rooted

How can i do this ? I did the topics...and forums for this and anyone said that it is ok but if it will het bricked ? Is there anyway to unbrick it ? It is out of warranty...

[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Just use the Ace Hack Kit http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1259821 . It downgraded me, then rooted me, all automatically. Fantastic!

But remember to properly read the "effen manual" there is a password that you have to enter which makes sure that you read the full manual (its only a couple of pages). After running this a couple of times (once to downgrade then again to root), just install your preferred ROM. I just rooted for the first time myself yesterday. Easy as pie with this method.

- You can uninstall (freeze) system applications you never use.

- You are now able to use MyBackPro or Titanium Pro to back your applications and settings. (This makes changing roms painless)

- You can now also use Market Enabler and use the US, UK, or any other market.
