I am also not seeing the Wrench mentioned above. I can't find the wrench on my TP or on my Phone. (Wrench looks like the settings slider on my TP I believe). My wifi tethering works fine, but my work has a "no hotspot" policy. What I'd really like to do is USB tethering, but every time I hook it up, and select USB tethering, it changes it back to charge only. Is it possible to USB tether two Android devices?

My first thoughts when I was anticipating the arrival of my TP was that all I would ever need is wifi. However, I'm finding the lack of connection in my wifi-free work place to be annoying.

On a side note, when I do wifi tether, my weather app pulls in some odd locations. I've got screenshots of my TP apparently traveling to Manchester, Chinhae, and Shin-gil-dong.

But anyway, my questions are:

Where is the wrench that is mentioned above? On the phone or TP?

Can I USB tether my TP and my phone?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jackelbait:
The wrench was on Honeycomb.. now its just a settings button icon next to the device name

Example

Droid X "Setting button here"

Connected

Just get them both paired Via Bluetooth then hit the settings button next to the device name ( under the Blue Tooth settings tab ) and make sure you check" use for internet"

the bluetooth icon on the bottom right corner should turn blue when you can use the internet thru your phone
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rushwal:
I get no option for Use for internet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jackelbait:
Your making this harder then it is....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jackelbait:
On the First SS you see Droid X.... to the Far right of the name is the settings button... Hit that and Bam then next SS shows the screen....

Make sure your Paired when you do this, it will says Connected under the device... Mine doesnt in the SS because I wasnt connected at the time of the SS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nattylite:
Just curious if anyone who have been using Bluetooth tethering got the sleep of death when you leave your tablet idle with bluetooth tethering on for more than 45 minutes?

Pairing:

Turn on BT on both devices; then turn on discoverable mode for one of them and scan with the other; click pair when you see the device and a prompt should pop up on both devices asking for a key; if the pin is not already automatic entered, do so and your devices should now be paired (not connected tho)

Tethering:

On your phone navigate to Settings > Tethering & Portable hotspot > Check "Bluetooth tethering"; turn on whatever internet source you want (mobile net, pass through, or wifi though that would be redundant); On your prime, your phone name (google username usually) should be visible so click to manually connect; Bluetooth tethering should appear automatically on your phone status bar and a few second later, a similar one on your Prime; if it does not on your Prime go to the devices under your bluetooth again and click the setting right next to it and make sure "Internet Access" is checked.

I have had mine connected for ~3 Hours with out using it. Phone is Sleeping while beening plugged in. Tablet isnt plug in and I am watching a Movie currently and it is still connected.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wally44:
Not all phones have that option to tether with bluetooth. For example, the Droid Charge doesn't. Also, when I bluetooth connect to the Charge from a TF201, I get no profile option. I also don't get a connection, either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
For me I also have to disable wifi on my prime to get bt tethering to work. Haven't had any sleep issues with it at all to speak of though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rushwal:
It was not a matter of making it difficult. I was doing the steps mentioned above, but I was not getting the options shown. However, I recently put CM7 on my Inspire, and it is working now.

Thanks for your help and the screenshots!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theheirarchy:
I've read all the tutorials I can find for downgrading and rooting the nook. Unfortunately the tablet seems to have come with 1.4.1 out of the box. I have 2 Micro SDcards:

Micro SDHC 16 GB Sandisk - Doesn't work

Micro SDHC 8GB Not sure of brand - Doesn't work

The tablet recognizes the sd cards, but it will not boot from the sd card. I can't get acclaim_update.zip to install off of either of these cards. My questions:

1. I have seen some threads say the type amd brand can matter. Does SDHC vs SD or one brand over another prove more reliable?

2. Could the fact that it shipped with 1.4.1 be part of the reason that I can't get it to roll back to 1.4.0?

I really like the tablet, and I really want to root and use it but so far no luck. For some unknown reason I returned a "defective" unit that came with 1.4.0, but could not contact B&N other than to register the tab. I should have kept and rooted that one once I got the wifi resolved, but live and learn...

Any help is appreciated!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mohawkx:
Shipping the new tablets with 1.4.1 installed from the factory is probably B&Ns neutron bomb. Not sure if there is a fix for that yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CPerko:
Not 100% certain, but from what I've noticed so far, the 1.4.0 downgrade doesn't play nice with HC cards. You might want to try a non-high capacity card, and see if that works...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
Sandisk 16GB should be fine

I think something else is wrong here; I have multiple 16GB Sandisk cards (which are one of the best choices), and the downgrade to 1.4.0 has worked multiple times. Try formatting the SDcard using the software that comes with the Nook Tablet, and then copying over acclaim_update.zip and rebooting. You may have to reboot a second time to get it to take.

Further, you are not booting from the SD card; that is not (yet) possible with the Nook Tablet.

Finally, the evidence I have seen is that (unlike with the Nook Color), once you update a device to 1.4.1, 1.4.1 becomes the factory recovery image, so the device is indistinguishable from a new one. I may be wrong on that, however.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TnTexasNT:
You say "seems" not "did". Have you checked the device info to see which version it's running or are you assuming it is because of how it's behaving?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
SanDisk works better mostly 2gb no problem. Did you try formatting the sd in the nook first?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theheirarchy:
I have tried to format the cards both in my pc and in the nook.

It's definitely running 1.4.1, I don't know if it shipped with 1.4.1 definitely but when I also recovered the tablet using the built in recovery and it went to 1.4.1.

I'll try a regular micro SD tomorrow. This would make me sad, I do like the tab otherwise.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
if it was shipped with 1.4.1 then not good news for me, hopefully is not. Mine hasn't arrived yet and im from equador lolz but yes try with an old sdcard i've read some cases that getting a sandisk 2 gb - 8gb has worked for them.

Good luck!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theheirarchy:
Good News

I bought a PNY 8GB SDHC card today. It worked as a magic SD Card. I'm having a bit of a problem getting the N button to work again, but I'm sure I'll figure that out soon. So if my unit shipped with 1.4.1, either there was something on my old cards that prevented it from being used as a Magic SD card or those cards won't work for that purpose. Either way if I can get this bad boy rooted I will be the happiest camper I know!

Thanks all for helping me troubleshoot!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
This is definitely good news thanks for share, about the n button you need to do the 8 factory resets trick
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theheirarchy:
N button is working, 1.4.0 is installed, Magic Sd. card was put somewhere safe, and I'm watching the root tutorials now! Persistence pays off dividends most of the time! Best of luck on yours, mine cost me a few bucks extra but it was worth it in my eyes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] scumfilter:
So, here's the rub when formatting your MicroSD from the computer; you must set the option "Allocation unit size" option to "32 kilobytes" and put nothing on the card other than the acclaim_update.zip. If you leave it set at the default allocation or anything other than 32 kb it will not work.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spottedtadpole:
I also have a NEW tablet with 1.4.1

I have a new tablet with the 1.4.1 firmware. I never connected to B&N so I know it came that way out of the box. I had to search for a couple of hours before finding a way to skip the "Out of the Box Experience" and setup without connecting to B&N to register.

Does the fact that I have 1.4.1 installed mean I will not be able to root my tablet?

I should have bought one sooner and avoided this situation. Had I known that some Staples stores have them, I might have gone there for mine instead of ordering from B&N and perhaps getting a REALLY new tablet with the latest firmware.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Silthion:
I also bought mine recently and it came with the 1.4.1, but I followed the tutorials and didn't have any problem to downgrade and then root it, so don't worry and enjoy it!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PoXFreak:
Just a question to all the Kaiser users out there.

Do you use the Kaiser with only Android installed as your main phone?

Those that do, have you had any "bad" experiences while using the phone that are NOT caused by network discrepancies (i.e.: dropped calls, bad signal, etc.)?

I ask because I do use mine as my main form of communication on a daily basis, and I had my first dropped call today due to a hard lock. This is after almost a year of use, on the same phone, in different parts of the country with only a couple of days of non-use for screen replacement (scratched/damaged touchscreen).

I know we're all hanging on to old technology for different reasons, wether it be cost, availability, or that certain "wow" factor that comes from completely changing something that was never meant to be changed. I have become fond of my Kaisers for obvious reasons, but if I cannot trust it when I need it I may need to move on.

Thoughts?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TheMadxtremist:
I use it as the main phone . I dont have any problems except the camera and the WiFi . Hope to get it rectified soon though :/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tomcug:
Man, you still didn't manage to get WiFi to work :eek:?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TheMadxtremist:
Dude my kernel !!

and because of exams i cant get that repaired !! :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PoXFreak:
IDK if your kernel is the issue or not because the radio rom also has a lot to do with some aspects of the hardware controls (phone, wifi, audio, camera, etc.).

Other than checking your wifi.ko file with root explorer or some other text viewer, the only option is to change your rom. I have had a 99% success rate with my Kaiser using only Scoots kernel with 25mb of cache, the 8/29/11 rom from sourceforge and LauncherPro plus (from my personal stash). I have the kernel setting the clock to 500MHz on start up and I usually end up underclocking to 480 for a week or so to check stability against the previous weeks settings.

My camera works, my wifi works, bluetooth works, tethering/hot spot works, but video doesn't (not like I'll EVER use this thing for videos)...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mattempus:
Hi!

I use it as my main phone. After the imap push deactivation i hadn't got any hard lock.

But i use gmail sync, and sometimes i got a screen of death. But it's very very rare (maybe one in a month). I think if i didn't use anything thats related to 3G network, this lock up wouldn't appear.

This is my work phone so it must be stable. I'm satisfied with it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashar:
Hello...

I flashed my Samsung galaxy s with darkys 10.2.2 resurrection and everything seemed to be fine until I rebooted the phone. I get a distorted snowy like screen and cannot see any options in recovery mode. I mange to boot to the desktop and try to play YouTube videos, I here the video playing but distorted video. I then tested the video camera and records, however the screen remains distorted.

I restored to a previous backed up ROM and still the same issue.

I read through the steps to flash 10.2.2 carefully but not sure what went wrong. Anyone come across this issue before?

I plan on flashing with Odin this time to see what happens.

Thank you.

Hi, I didn't know whether to ask this here or in the development thread, I do not have 10 posts yet so i guess here.

I'm on epic mtd cm7, and was wondering if anyone knew how to disable the animation that happens when you unlock the phone. It just kinda zooms in on the lock or whatever is it. It seems to lag a lot on this part and disabling window animations did not help.

Also, is the lockscreen unlock button going to be themed? It looks a little weird with everything themed blue or green except for that...

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arimus:
Just curious and maybe someone can explain to me, why are there different versions of ICS build for the Galaxy Nexus ? as afar as I can tell there are no difference on a GSM Galaxy Nexus sold in the UK or Canada or USA, this phone is sold as a pure Goggle no crap ware loaded etc, so why have different builds then causing confusion as to who does the updates and when. aside from some carriers selling it locked others selling it unlocked what are the differences ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
There are virtually no differences. Some of the updates are rolled out regionally by Samsung, and some are rolled out by Google. People need to understand that just because you have a yakju device or a yakjux device doesn't necessarily mean one of them will be updated sooner. Updates are rolled out in batches, and some phones will be updated before others no matter what. The main reason in my opinion is so Google does not have to deploy updates regionally whereas Samsung does.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mrhaley30705:
Well, my wife and I got the Captivate at the same time about a year ago. She is still hanging on to her captivate, even with the problems she's having with it and still on 2.1. I picked up a lightly used Inspire a few Weeks ago to have something new to play with and she said she was still content with her captivate. She won't let me root it, factory reset it, nothing except making sure it's plugged in every night. So, if your wives let you play with their phones, consider yourself lucky.

Yeah, my wife lets me play with hers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mister J:
I would play with hers too

My wife also has a atrix, there must be something with that. I have yet to root hers. Maybe ony next day off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marvin02:
I rooted my wife's Inspire to get rid of the AT&T and HTC bloat.

It increased the battery life and runs a bit smoother.

It is still on the stock AT&T ROM (she likes sense).

She just uses the phone. She asks me every now and then if I want it to check for updates, etc.

I will say that the Inspire has been very steady, no problems with it at all. She got it to replace a Captivate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bfmetcalf:
Pretty sure my wife would have a conniption fit if I tried to do anything to her phone! She has seen what I do to our computer with all of the different Linux distro's and I don't think she would want me to do that to her phone!
[HTC Inspire 4G] schunter1226:
Rooted her phone, spent a lot of time tweaking it, pissed her off, then she was happy after she seen all the goodies.

Then about a day after she got settled in with it, she came home and whipped out a brand new SII (she ttold me she didn't want to use her upgrade because she loved her atrix too much). I'm sorta jealous, that was her goal lol. Oh and she wont let me touch it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kartiel:
Where to begin....my phone would last about 9hr before this issues started happening. For some odd reason my indicator LED light won't shut off I had to download an app to turn it off. When I try to turn of the phone It will automatically turn on again but before it does it goes to the charging screen even thought the phone is not plug to an outlet. It all started happening after I used my friends LG charger i'm thinking maybe I damage something.

I rooted as you can see I have try two different roms the result were the same I will UN root tomorrow and flash it to stock will updated

Definitely not normal. Get BetterBatteryStats and see if you have a wakelock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Looks like the phone isn't correctly reading the battery.

However, the symptom of the phone going into charging when off when it's not plugged in (phone thinking it's charging) is pretty common with the Samsung Replenish, and is almost always an indicator of a bad charging port. This could also explain the LED not going out (ie charging). We see it in our store alot. Your battery dying in 3 hours would make sense, as the phone isn't charging the battery correctly in this scenario.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonlee83:
Hey kartiel, hope you can figure it the problem. I would be frustrated if I were you. unroot and bring to sprint maybe they will replace the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
I agree.. it seems to be the charging port on the phone. My wife's phone had a very similar problem. Her screen would turn on by itself, the led light would stay on all day, and battery only lasted about 2 hours. It would always freeze up too once in a while and when you turn it back on, the battery drained like 20% in a span of 5 mins. Her battery stats look very similar to yours, with all the spikes. On top of that, her phone kept going into driving mode or voice talk randomly. Her phone was rooted with the auto root procedure. I wanted to back up her phone with TiB regularly and put on adblock.. but otherwise everything was stock on her phone.

What I ended up doing was a factory reset. That cleared up the freezing issue and the screen turning on and off, but the battery stuff was still acting the same. I did a battery pull over night and cleaned the contacts of the charging port of the phone with a very small q-tip and toothpick. I also cleaned the battery terminals as well for good measure. Put the battery back on the phone and charged to full while the phone was off. First thing I did when I turned on the phone was to download the battery calibrator app and run the calibration. Her phone has been back to normal now for almost 3 weeks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Are you in a damp/humid area? I know my phone did that sometimes too during humid summer days. It's completely fine in any other condition though, especially during this colder winter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
i'm not in a damp/humid area, my wife and I have the same phone. Mine has been okay with minimal issues. Although now that I think about it, she did spill some water on the table with her phone near by a week before her phone start acting up. She had a TPU case which protected it from most of the water, but maybe some of it got in through the headphone jack or charging port??

to the OP: maybe you can try this battery calibration method as well. Some people have reported success with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312273
[Nook Color General] ss12108:
Hi all,

My wife just got a Nook Color for Christmas and I'm itching to root it. Both of our OG evos are rooted and I'm fairly competent with customizing the ever living crap out of them (I'm running MIUI and love it).

I'm looking for suggestions for a cool but most importantly STABLE setup for her nook color. I see there aren't as many options as the Evo, and the rooting process seems a bit more involved, but I'm sure I can figure that part out.

I already ran the 1.41 update and read all of the basic steps for root. She doesn't want to lose the B&N functionality (not sure why), so is my best bet just to root it with a bootable SD without loading CWM recovery? Using manualnooter that would just leave her with the B&N functions but would also install an alternate launcher and allow her to install android market and 3rd party apps, correct?

I've done quite a bit of reading up but I just want to get some opinions...she's afraid I'm going to "mess it up" like I've done to my evo quite a few times, but its never been anything a clean wipe can't fix so I don't see the issue haha.

Thanks everyone!
