@SuperSport

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. That was exactly my intent!

@EnderPsp

My aim was to create a very simple step-by-step guide for those who have a Samsung Focus updated officially (using Zune) to 8107 and are looking to enable the internet sharing option.

I actually came across your guide while searching for what I was trying to do and with all due respect, it wasn't exactly the noob friendly guide that I personally found it out to be, as it entailed a lot more steps than what's truely required to achieve what my goal was with all other options available now (ex. The WindowBreak Project).
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Chill out mate, I appreciate your post. When I build the newbie guide, there was no WindowBreak project so that was the only way to have Mango unlocked. In the meantime, things changed and WindowBreak makes it simpler. And I did specify so in the opening (post #36) :)

I will also add a reference to your guide here, so it's easier for noobs to follow.
[Focus General] jag.s:
@EnderPsp

No worries!

I figured when you wrote yours, things weren't as simpler as they are now so yours definitely has more research put behind it -- and I appreciate you adding a reference to mine! =)
[Focus General] vt2912:
Thank you very much !
[Focus General] pitflyer:
Thanks for sharing this guide. I bought my first Windows phone, the Focus, yesterday and this is a fast track way for me to be able to do all the wonderful things Microsoft or AT&T doesn't want me to do. :) (Same thing I did on my Android and Apple devices)

Not updated to 8107

My OS version and Firmware revision number don't match yours. I have the following:

OS version: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware revision number: 2103.11.8.1

Hardware revision number: 3.1.0.7

Radio software version: 2103.11.8.1

Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.3

Bootloader version: 5.8.0.2

Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0
[Focus General] pitflyer:
I have the same config as the previous poster and followed the steps and it worked. When I try to update in Zune it says I'm already up to date, but went ahead with the rest of the steps anyway.

A couple of notes

1) Had to reboot after installing Zune, otherwise would not detect phone.

2) The WinSDK installer requires Net 4.0 framework. It would error out on me till I installed that.

3) Had to install each XAP one at a time; the instructions seem to indicate you can select and install both.

4) Phone reboots at end.

I assume this will NOT survive a hard reset (vol down+camera+power)?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
No, it won't. You will have latest OS version but the developer unlock will be lost. If you don't have the KK2 Samsung update, then you can safely re-use this guide to unlock again :)
[Focus General] jag.s:
@uwbadgers16

It looks like you're running a previous (7720) version to what the latest released is (8107). You can still follow this guide to get the internet sharing option enabled though.

@pitflyer

Thanks for the notes! I've updated the original guide to reflect that.
[Focus General] adminlt:
Excellent guide. Thanks.

Do these instructions apply to the original Focus ?

Model: SGH-i917

Carrier: AT&T

SW: Mango: 7.5

OS: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware: 2103.11.8.1

HW revision: 3.1.0.7

Radio HW: 0.0.0.3

Bootloader: 5.8.0.2

Chiop SOC: 0.36.2.0

Storage 7.39 GB

I bought my Focus the day it was first released in 2010.

I heard from AT&T technical support that the original Samsung Focus does NOT support internet sharing because of the HW.

Since you folks on this forum are much more knowledgable about such matters :-)though I would ask.

I currently have it working on my Focus v 1.3. AT&T tech support does not know or talk about anything not on their cheat sheets.

Hello

Can any1 tell the harmful effect of radiation coming out from windows phone samsung focus after enabling the INTERNET SHARING OPTION? If there is no harmful effect then why these OEM does not provide all the option with phone..?
[Focus General] SuperSport:
Now that is an interesting theory... hehehe

Actually, they didn't enable it because they want to be sure they are able to charge for the service before it's enabled.

[HTC EVO 3D] Jimbo Droid:
Well i got this new evo3d but cant figure out why every time i use any web browser in a horizontal position this dam Google voice thing pops up and closes my browser. I think this evos defective any ideas.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Seems like voice search is turned on lol... Are you rooted? Is the phone brand ass new lol :D ?

Never heard of the issue? What hboot are you 1.5? What software are you on 2.08 or 2.17?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jimbo Droid:
its a new phone with htc updates not rooted and this is really weird. No matter what browser i use it activates the stupid google voice search and closes my browser. Is there a way to disable the voice search? Or is this phone toast?
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
There should be I am tryin to figure out why the search would be stuck on that is the part im kinda stumped on.. Never had that search part come on by it's self....

Only way I can turn google voice on in the browser such as you described is to hit the search button in the corner soft key and hit the micro phone in the top right corner of the screen while on the net...

I would try a factory reset.... Do you have any funky 3rd party apps running? From the market like free ones that have permission's they shouldn't have?
[HTC EVO 3D] flomexico:
You're not accidentally holding the search key are you?
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lol that's what I was getting tooo. :D Hope that is all it was .. I dunno why it would FC the browser tho... Unless you hold it down and it doesn't know what to do if it keeps tryin to open so it closes everything... If that's not it then it could be a 3rd party app or a factory reset is needed.....

I tried to do it to mine.... Only way I could get voice search to pop up was to hit search button and hit the micro phone in the corner...
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Try

Settings/search/searchable items. Then uncheck "voice search" and see if that helps any. If not then try cleaning data on voice search and stock browser to see if it will help any. Also depending on what keyboard you use you could look in the keyboard settings to put the "voice search" option on the symbols keyboard or disable it. Hope this helps.

[HTC EVO 3D] Jimbo Droid:
Well the way i hold the phone is right hand near the camera area and left hand near the volume area. And when i open a browser and go to Craigslist for example eventually very quickly this dam Google voice thing pops up and shut my browser down. Perhaps theirs a short on the phone and it triggers this voice crap or its a setting. But my phone is stock and i did a factory reset and it still does it. Guess this evo i got is buggy. Not a clue what it could be.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clairenix:
I've undervolted my device and right now I have

100mhz - 825 mah

200mhz - 825 mah

500mhz - 800 mah

for some reason the 500mhz setting is stable and if I undervolt 100mhz/200mhz even more, I crash.

If I set my minimum processor power to 500mhz would I consume less batter than if I were to use 100mhz/200mhz?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndecipheredPixels:
Your phone spends most of its time in the lowest and highest cpu frequencies and just a small amount of time at the intermediate levels. Your undervolt for 500mhz probably isn't stable but it doesn't crash because it's only at that frequency for a very short amount of time. If you set the minimum to 500mhz at that voltage it will probably start playing up.

http:/ /db.tt/iy1bKVoB

graph of my cpu levels
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweCrow81:
Abit offtopic but what the hell!

I was wondering if there's any risks involved with undervolting?

I don't meen the crashes and freeze ups, but rather more like if there's any risk

to really damage your phone from it?

I have and still do alot of OC in the computer world, and do know what overvolting can do. But i'm still curious about what uv can do to your system.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clairenix:
It's been my minimum even before posting this thread. I just started to wonder.

I've been on it for 10 hours now. I have 45% battery life left. Probably due to my 1700mhz being @ 1350mah right now.

I can assure you, it's VERY stable. It's so SMOOTH. Smoother than just having rocketrom and all that stuff. NO LAGS, NO SHUTDOWNS. ALL STABLE.

I can see better battery life, and CPU Spy says it used up 47% 1700mhz and 40% 500mhz. I think it's giving me better battery life.

It's evenly splitted up probably because I was using lulzactive governor.

but then again I didn't log my previous battery life without undervolting.

Some more insight would be nice.

There are alot of risks. Minor chance that you will cause hardware damage to your phone but I'm saying VERY minor. Just don't be stupid with voltages, like just suddenly overdropping the voltages. Your processor might die.

It's scary as hell, it crashes alot while testing and all that ****.

Feels good when you get it stable though. :)

TL;DR

Very slight chance to damage your hardware; only if you're very daring.

It should increase your battery life by atleast 20% if you reach the peak of your processors limit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clairenix:
Bump, are there no other insights on this? Am I like, the only one who undervolted his/her note?

help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaos_king:
I want to run 1700mhz as permanent and also wanted to undervolt but i wasnt sure how much by and what the risks are. Reason being is my phone gets hot with heavy usage running at 1400mhz so didnt want to go to 1700. I'll watch this thread with interest
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clairenix:
I'm running 500-1700mhz.

Indeed it does get hot at 1700mhz, when I'm playing games but I've only at most played for 4 hours straight.

For what reason would you want to run 1700mhz-1700mhz?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaos_king:
No sorry i meant running it at 1700 max, leaving it stock for the min. I just wanted to know how much i can safely undervolt 1700 by.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liutszho:
I actually have a question. I undervolted my note with SetCPU and I read that Tegrak Overclock Ultimate should be used as well together with SetCPU.

What does Tegrak Overclock do? GPU settings?

Would like to learn that part if anyone has any info.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clairenix:
I undervolted mine by about 100mah. I think I can tone it down by about 25mah more but I'm having a hard time getting it to stabilize.

1350 for my device is completely safe though.

Though, all processors are different. Yours could be better than mine and can withstand more UV-ing. :)

Goodluck!

It's basically the same with SetCPU aside from its voltages.

I do not know if it should be used with SetCPU with the note because from what I've researched. It's only a common practice with SGSII.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liutszho:

Many thanks!

I will just experiment then, i didnt want to do that and then cause hw damage. I'll let you know how my processor gets on :)

If any devs are listening, if we could have a simple app replacing .zip that we could flash in recovery and get ICS inverted apps, that would be incredible. I have no knowledge about packing files or anything like that so I don't know if its even possible.

Just a thought. I think people would really get a lot of use and enjoyment out of it.

Heres an inverted that works with CM9 build 15. Should work since ICS is based on cm9

P.S. On their site, Box states the following:

I myself have just created an account but at first login it's 5GB. And the second. Damn :-/ (using it on my MB526)

*EDIT* Okay, I figured out that this promotion is for LG only, so I got your app and got my free 50GB! I hope your promise is true, though.

[Defy Themes and Apps] Proverbs2:
I think you have to set the manufacturer to "LGE", not "LG". Here's a quick tutorial:

First, install the Box app from the Market and create a free account. (You'll get 5 GB of free space already.)

Next, find the build.prop file on your phone's internal memory. (On some ROMs, it may be in the root directory; for me, it was in the "system" folder). Copy the file to your SD card and also make an extra copy of it for backup. Long-press one of those copies and select "Open As," choose "Text," and open it. Look for the line that says

ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola

and change it to

ro.product.manufacturer=LGE

Also find the line that says

ro.product.model=MB525

and change it to

ro.product.model=VS910 4G

Save the edited file, then use a root-enabled file explorer (like ES File Explorer) to copy your edited "build.prop" file from your SD card and paste it back where you got it in the system folder of the phone's internal memory, overwriting the original file. Then reboot the phone, log into your Box app again, and you should see a message saying you've been upgraded to a 50GB account.

Then copy the backed-up (non-edited) version of your build.prop file and paste it back in the system folder (the same way you did with the edited version), and reboot the phone again. Your phone is now back to normal (and all your apps, etc. will correctly recognize it as a Motorola DEFY), but you'll still have your 50GB of free space!
[Defy Themes and Apps] gryzzor:
Thanks. It's work.
[Defy Themes and Apps] scrannel:
OK, someone please enlighten me: is this service for file sharing or file stealing? How do they guard against copyrighted material being "exchanged"?

OK, I called Box and spoke with customer service and they claim they are not just another version of MegaUpload but have, apparently, 100% zero checks in place to prevent IP theft. They said, however, they are going to "shoot my question upstairs" and get back to me.

[Defy Themes and Apps] vap_66:
Well, since it was a promotion from Box (install their app within a certain period and get automatically 50GBs for life) I made an account too. The good news is that Titanium Backup Pro got updated a few days ago with support for Box syncing (so those 50GBs make sense now, despite the user being limited to max. 100MB files).
[Defy Themes and Apps] Pluggedgamer:
Not really a problem

[General Questions and Answers] 2194:
Hi, I'm looking at getting a new phone and I'm tossed up between the two. Which one is better - performance wise and battery wise? Factor in custom rom and kernal combinations seeing as those can change battery life drastically.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] upetro:
They are quite similar performance wise. I depends what your preferences are. For example if you use your phone as a camera, then the SII is the better choice. Also the Nexus has a better batery, but also has a bigger screen and higer resolution(much higher). When roms are taken into account they will both be able to run the same kernels, so it probably wont differ that much. What you must know though is, the Nexus wil alwys have updates from google asap, while with the sgsII you will have to wait for the devs to implement new stuff.
