[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Currently, I have a shortcut that will open BT settings where I can connect to my 4G phone for tethering. Is there any way to create a shortcut that will just connect to that device without having the extra step of first opening bluetooth and then tapping the device?

I've tried Anycut, but all I can produce is a shortcut to Bluetooth settings.

Thanks in advance for your assistance in advance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iCEION:
I think this free app will do the job for u...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klau1:
Reviews say it doesn't work for JB.

Any replacements for a general bluetooth device connection shortcut, not just A2DP?

Blame the hardware. How about blame the developers on their end!
[Motorola Droid 3] jckeyser:
I don't reckon most Droid 3 owners give a **** about ICS on their phones, nor do they have any clue what it even is. That is a shame though, because for Android enthusiasts like us, it is a big deal, especially when we are running ICS on it already and it makes MotoBlur look like the old LG Env interface.

Most people don't root, and Verizon isn't going to promote an OS version over a new handset. I love my D3, but it's utter nonsense that it won't get official ICS just months after Google called the version the great unifier that can and will run on every phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
I'm still running the alpha 6 and all seriousness if it weren't for a few things I would swear it was better than alpha. If motorola only knew what a pure ics experience was like on their hardware they could easily bury samsung and the crap nexus they released.
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
I compared the hardware specs between XT860 and Galaxy Nexus and the only differences I really saw was that we only have 512mb ram. Same GPU almost the same CPU, I think moto is buying time so Goog can save them ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Moto still has not confirmed that the D3 is not getting ICS. As the DX and D2 both received GB well after they were no longer being sold, I think it's a good possibility that it will. We'll see, though.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I think hashcode will get us ics long before moto does
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
He already has. And Beta is right around the corner.

How about unlocking the damn boot loaders and let us decide what is on our phone
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
Well, that too.

[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
I doubt that we will ever see bootloaders unlocked on our current phones. I suspect that it could not be done without sending the phones back to Motorola and having them replace the "one time" programmable firmware. Why else would having a Dev Razr be useless for unlocking other Razrs. I think the only way we would ever be able to put anything we wanted on these phones would be if Moto released their encrypted key so that the phone would accept it. FAT chance of that happening, but I bet that hasn't crossed anyone's mind at Moto. Maybe we could suggest that to them.

[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
OK, can someone answer a possibly dumb question for me? I've spent the last year happily rooting my original Droid and running custom roms - finally settling on Cyanogen Mod. Now, I'm no expert but I've found it pretty easy to do by just following the instructions that are available many places online. I now have my Droid 3 and so far am just running it stock - waiting for CM9 to get to a release version.

So, from the discussion I'm assuming that rooting the Device and loading Cyanogen is somehow something less than "unlocking the boot loader". But if it is, does that matter? Whatever that actually means it doesn't seem to be preventing anyone from running custom ROM's - or am I missing something?

[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
With a locked bootloader we ca still run custom roms thanks to tricky devs but no custom kernels
[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
But I used to run custom kernels on my Droid 1 too. I was running CM7.1 with a Chevy#1 (think that's what it was) kernel which was what let me use Set CPU to overclock. Is that not loading a "custom kernel"? Or was the boot loader unlocked on my Droid 2?

I'm not criticizing or saying anyone else is wrong - I'm just trying to understand what the differences are between what I have been doing and having a true "unlocked boot loader". What are the things that would allow me to do that can't be done now?
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
droid 1 is the only true unlocked bootloader moto phone with the exception of the atrix, which was accomplished with many many hours of work.

This is my first topic post, so please let me know if you find it helpful! :)

I could not find a tutorial on getting Orbot transparent proxying to work on my SPH-D710, so this is how I got it working. I hope this is not a repost, but as I said I could not find a specific tutorial/howto.

It seems to me that the issue with Orbot on our phones has to do with the iptables that is included with Orbot. Even if you tell Orbot to use the default iptables (/system/bin/iptables), it still does not work.

(1) Install "Droidwall" and "Orbot" from the Android market.

(2) Open Droidwall so that it installs the necessary binaries.

(3) Do the following in adb or the terminal: (I prefer using adb)

[B]# cd /data/data/[/B]
[B]# find ./ -iname "*iptables*"[/B]
./com.mgranja.iptables
./org.torproject.android/app_bin/iptables
./com.googlecode.droidwall.free/app_bin/iptables_armv5
[B]# cp ./com.googlecode.droidwall.free/app_bin/iptables_armv5 ./org.torproject.android/app_bin/[/B]
[B]# cd /data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/[/B]
[B]# mv ./iptables ./iptables.ORIGINAL[/B]
[B]# mv ./iptables_armv5 ./iptables[/B]

(4) Open Orbot and go to (menu) -> Settings. Make sure to enable "Request Root Access," "Transparent Proxying" and "Tor Everything."

(5) On the bottom of the settings page, ensure that "Use Default Iptables" is NOT selected!

(6) Open Orbot, long press the 'power' button to start Tor. In the menu there is an option to make sure ("check") that you are connected through the Tor network.

Enjoy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthejoker20:
IPTABLES is your firewall.

So I wouldn't mess with them unless you know what you are doing.

You sound like you don't know what your doing if you have to "download" it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasmith86:
I agree that you shouldn't mess with it unless you know what you're doing. The app mentioned simply updates the version in /system/bin that came with your ROM -- whether or not you want to do this is up to you. (I just edited and removed the portion you made reference to.)

Regardless, in order to get Orbot working on the phone with transparent proxying, the main thing is to tell Orbot to use the default iptables in the ROM rather than the one Orbot comes with (/data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/iptables).

EDIT: With the edits made to my original post, this is now irrelevant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
I use to do this back in the day. At times it's handy however, the speeds are insanely slow so I stopped using it and just dealt with the fact that the carrier would see my every move on the network. They can do that regardless of the fact that you're using a proxy anyway so it just seemed like a waste. Slow speeds + they can still track me or fast speeds + they can still track me. Using Tor on a phone only prevents the site you're visiting from knowing who and where you are - not the carrier.

Just wanted to make that clear for anyone that doesn't know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasmith86:
The speed is definitely a pain, but if you are willing to sacrifice some anonymity (probably a lot) you can configure Tor to only use nodes within your country - which I tested and got much faster speeds.

While your carrier can track that you are using their network, they cannot see what specifically you are doing. Tor encrypts all traffic from your phone -> entrance node -> intermediary nodes -> exit node (and vice versa). The only unencrypted leg of the journey is between the exit node and the destination host.

This worked for me, thank you so much. im runing a modded stock rom on my Lg Optimus black and it hasnt iptables, now everithing is fully working, thanks! now i can use facebook from mi phone on my work "restricted" network hehe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Phpdna:
tor

You can also run tor from the terminal and from /data/data/*. It's much easier and you can delete all the iptables and orbot stuff. The default datadir for tor isn't working so I started tor with -datadir. For example tor -datadir /mnt/sdcard/tor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Soured Lie:
Thank you I have been trying to get this running on my phone for a second.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] santasolo:
What are you doing exactly?

Can You explain more?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Phpdna:
I was trying to run tor without orbot. Orbot is too heavy for my mobile. I find tor is an app in /data and we can start it from the terminal with the datadir switch. I guess Orbot works, too, but I'm not so sure.

I'm sure we could just install the .apk? I did that with Temple run on the stock ROM it ran but it was a tad laggy.. Darn Google and wanting to make us buy new phones! :mad:
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Lesicnik1:
Its probably the lack of a GPU that makes our phone unsupported, since Chrome relies heavily on it.

its not google's fault...the fact is ...out phone it from an vintage age...with an arm 6 processor,no gpu....a ldpi screen...

if you want ics...or jellybean shift to a better fone...and if you wanna stick to willy...be happy with what you get... preferably cm6 or cm7 is the best option till now

and guys before posting any-ting please test it....if its compatible with wildfire then only post... :mad::mad::mad:

[HTC Amaze 4G] axbaquero:
Hello, I make some changes in the build.prop file for the HTC Amaze 4G.

I get faster data speeds, the changes was:

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

ro.ril.hsxpa=4

Extract build.prop with droid explorer for windows, modify the values above and then:

"ADB remount"

"ADB push c:\build.prop /system/"

finish with:

"ADB reboot" (twice)

But after that modification, programs like skype and oovoo doesn´t work the video conference, no camera was detected.

Any ideas, to resolve the camera problems?? :mad:

Problem Solved:

I put it the new build.prop inside the folder system from the original rom *.zip and then flash the rom. Speed changes acording the network signal and place, there are no constants.
[HTC Amaze 4G] babymatteo:
maybe because speeds are too fast? J/k lol :p

Thanks for sharing ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] dannyHD2:
try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps then reboot and see if that helps? other than that idk im not a dev but had similar issue with qik. worked for me. good luck
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
Try fixing permissions after.

In recovery select Advanced, then Fix Permission. Let it do its thing then reboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
can i just got to root explorer back up the original one and then edit this on it and then fix permissions and reboot?

Yes you should be able to edit the entries directly and reboot. Then reboot into recovery and try fixing permissions after.

[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
guys if you are about to do this can you post pictures of the speed test before and after?

i cant confirm because i reached my 2GB data and i have to wait 10 days
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Sorry I saw your post late. I changed my build.prop to the settings above and rebooted and my data speeds were significantly slower, going from an avg of 12-17 mb/s to 5-7 mb/s.
[HTC Amaze 4G] axbaquero:
Speed can vary acording the network signal and place, is so dificult you can have constant and similar speed rates always. Even in the same place, if you can test more than one times your results are diferents.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Agree... That's why I do my tests in bunches and from the same 2 places in my house, 1 public place I frequent, and my job. The results were slightly slower for me as I said earlier. Results may vary I guess would be best way to sum up my experience
[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
you can still change to stock settings, try to do that, and see the difference
[HTC Amaze 4G] axbaquero:
The original settings are:

ro.ril.gprsclass=10

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=24

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6

ro.ril.hsxpa=4

If you want! You can try and see the differences..
[HTC Amaze 4G] funkadesi:
We should get more people to try this out....
[HTC Amaze 4G] babymatteo:
Ok, so if I edited the build.prop within the ROM.zip i wouldn't need to do it in ADB anymore correct?
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
As I explained before, I did try and see the differences. These are my after shots.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
And here is my list of previous tests before changing
[HTC Amaze 4G] axbaquero:
Correct.. U don´t needed to use the ADB comand
[HTC Amaze 4G] death2verizon:
umm my original settings are:

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

not what you posted. xboarder or someone may have changed them from the original original settings, tho.

i will say your numbers do seem to have significantly increased my data speed, its noticeably faster in real world usability. For some reason it seems like my wifi has gotten slower tho, not sure why that would happen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] babymatteo:
After doing this, i went from an ave of 6-8mbps to 12-16mbps. Awesome.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
Yes it did, I was just as surprised, I'm on stock rooted and my values weren't to off but I went from 6 Mbps avg to 18 Mbps avg in the same spot. Even wifi speeds seem faster.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
now if I could just get my phone to find my hidden SSID
[HTC Amaze 4G] rubyman94:
i get 18mbs with stock. i dont know why you would do this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
I noticed a large increase ~6Mbps to ~10Mbps. However I noticed a change in the servers that the app selected (it chose a closer server after the build.prop was edited). So then I selected the same one that was chosen for the first trials before any changes. After the same servers were used there was little to no increase since the slight increases in speed could be caused by the network signal strength. The avg download speed stayed relatively the same, and the avg upload speed dropped. I only did 5 before and 5 after trials.
[HTC Amaze 4G] asesino:
I did some like this when I had a mytouch and the speeds improved significantly will give this a shot.

Mostly it appears to be a peering issue, any speed test sites near me (in calgary).. while the american ones and the one in edmonton are decent and randomly vancouver is good..

oh well the change is made for future updates to winds network incase they happen..

[HTC Amaze 4G] Grooveoriented:
Well just a corroboration on my part. Never used the word useless. Especially not in bold.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Ok, I changed the settings on my phone through root explorer and fixed permissions from CWM lateron.

I got roughly about 0.5mbps speed increase, from 5mpbs to 5.5mpbs for download. This is in Boston, MA. Also the test were done at same place and same server and within 4-5 minutes of each other to minimize the chance of speed varying due to signal variation.

I can't say for sure though, if the speed increase is because of settings or just random, its not big increase either..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
Typically what you want to do is run multiple tests before and after applying the tweak, and take averages and/or max and min speeds for best results. Just for future reference :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
Ok did the test multiple times before and after the tweak with multiple servers from my workplace, the speed average is about the same..

Also for me, I was getting problem with area of low coverage, like in the train the signal is usually less (it still 4g though) but still Pandora play's fine with more load time normally...however yesterday and today morning when I had the tweak on, it was really struggling, I don't know if it was because of the tweak or just random..
