[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] graemeg:
Ok so recently i was trying to work out the best way to get around the NAT issue when using my Note to tether.

For those that often query this, in the uk one of our providers 3 has a plan called "the one plan", for £25 a month i get 2000 cross network mins, 5000 3 to 3 mins, unlim texts, and ALL YOU CAN EAT DATA.

YES, all you can eat, anyway on this forum familiar to this will know about it already, but they basically have a soft cap of 450gb a month and fully allow data roaming and tethering on this plan, i believe the only network in england to allow this.

So of course i wanted to make full use of this,, and i use tethering as my internet as 3 in the uk is very fast, in my location i achieve connections through my note of 5mbps+, which is more than adequate for now, my average download speeds are around 700mbps, so i decided to stay with it as my home internet as with those stats it seemed pointless wasting money on home broadband.

The issue occurred when i connected my 360 via wifi to my note i would get NAT RESTRICTIVE warnings, stopping me from connecting to friends, i found a way around this, without needing any 3rd party android apps.

Step 1 - connect my note as usual by turning on portable hotspot.

step 2 - on my 360 i connected a crossover cable to my laptop or pc, whichever you use from the xbox.

Step 3 - is to goto your pc or laptops wireless adapter settings and enable ICS (sharing) and make sure any firewalls are disabled.

Step 5 - turn on your xbox and select wired instead of wireless, this will then use the shared connection on the pc ya connected to via the crossover, test your connection and bingo.

Problem solved, no more restrictive nat warnings.

This may or may not have already been solved on here, but i couldnt finding anything after fruitless hours of searching, this method works for any console you go online with and yes, the game i mainly play is fifa12 and BF and both are completely lagfree over the notes connection and the 3 network.

Just a warning on mobile providers though, i know some like sprint dont allow tethering, you would have to check that yourself with your network, they may charge extra to tether, so please be careful you dont run up huge bills, if youre in the uk and on 3, i know a few of you guys are, then the oneplan is the package you want, after all, nobody could use 450gb a month anyway, on average i use 85gig a month on my phone.

I hope this post may help someone else that is struggling with tethering.

I installed ICS Slim on my Vibrant and installed the subzero kernel. How can I tell if the kernel installed properly? In the past, there was a custom boot screen, but I don't see one with this combo.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmay119:
Go to your "Settings" menu. Scroll down to the bottom of the menu and click "About Phone". About half way down the page you should see "Kernel Version", under this you should see which Kernel you're running.

For me, as I am also running the SubZero Kernel. It says: 3.1.10-subZero-1.0.1 Fatality #34

You should have something similar on yours. :)

No. Read my forum in development. There's inscructions in how to flash the tot
[LG Revolution] Bob_Bobber0:
Got it. I downloaded Z7 stock rom and then was gunna allow the update to install automatically, I guess I should have downloaded the Z8 rom to save some time?

oh well..

[myTouch 4G General] morbidmrmartin:
Okay, I've been meaning to ask everyone about this for a while now. Has anyone noticed extremely high cell standby use in battery stats? The reason I ask is, when I am running a sense ROM it reads right around 5% usage. But when I am running any AOSP ROM, it usually between 35-40% and causes me to get really poor battery life. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks for any info.
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
No, i have used both and havent really noticed anythiing like that. It may be just crappy cell signal, what roms were you comparing
[myTouch 4G General] morbidmrmartin:
I've flashed just about everything available for Mt4g except the ICS ROM's. I'm running team Inferno's arhd at the moment, but have in the recent past tried coredroid, tdj's sense ROM and a few others as well as cyanogenmod, MIUI, and some other AOSP roms too. I get great service in my area, and this has been an issue on all three mt4g's I've had.
[myTouch 4G General] jjbadd385:
I remember someone posting on here about sense or aosp roms, that you could open titanium backup and delete something called "Google Backup Transport" to help a lot of battery issue. I'm not sure if its related to what your problem is though..
[myTouch 4G General] morbidmrmartin:
I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you for the link! Sounds like the exact problem I've been having.
[myTouch 4G General] morbidmrmartin:
Well, I removed the Google transport apk. Looks like I have the same problem with really high cell standby. I'll keep looking for fixes, but until then, I guess I'm running sense.
[myTouch 4G General] vietannamese:
Look into getting BetteryBatteryStats (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809). This will help you figure out exactly which process is draining your battery, as it isn't always Google Transport.

Also, this is a long shot since you said you have this issue on all AOSP ROMs, but have you tried changing the kernel just to see if that makes a difference? I know each ROM comes with a different kernel, but maybe there's a combination of ROM + other kernel that will work for you, instead of the default. I know that was my issue at one point.
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
On the AOSP Roms I always thought that it was normal for cell standby to be the highest battery drainer in the list because that's just how it was reported for some reason. I could never get the Display's battery drain to be higher than the cell standby. But either way I got the same battery life whether I used Sense or AOSP. The only difference was that AOSP just displayed the battery usage wrong.
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
+1...I do receive better battery life on AOSP tho, unless I debloat Sense. But the cell standby is always high on AOSP
[myTouch 4G General] morbidmrmartin:
I've tried most kernels that are out there, and still have the issue. I thought at first that the readings might just be different in AOSP vs. Sense. I usually let the ROM settle in for a day or two to make sure, but cell standby is usually double what display is in battery stats. I can literally watch the battery get crushed. Average battery life is about 8 hours on any given AOSP ROM and close to 24 hours on sense roms. I just seems like it should be the other way around haha. I really appreciate all the help I've received from everyone! You're all great!
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
Hmm, well one thing is for sure when your on AOSP and your in a area with bad coverage the battery drains significantly trying to connect to T-Mobile. Have you tried putting on airplane mode in those situations? It's what I do when I'm in school because I have literally no service there.
[myTouch 4G General] morbidmrmartin:
That's the strange thing, I get great service in my area. Otherwise I would put the phone in airplane mode like you suggested.
[myTouch 4G General] Ksunnyv1011:
Did you try disabling mobile data when not using it? Or using juice defender where it would turn of data when the screen turns off?
[myTouch 4G General] morbidmrmartin:
I've got juice defender plus. It adds around an hour and a half of life. The problem is, it seems that most of the battery isn't used up by data being enabled, but the phone being connected for voice and text. I'm not willing to shut off all radios for extra battery life because what use is a phone that people can't call you on? :)
[myTouch 4G General] bayardo2001:
Did you try the MOD Shot of Awesomeness? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572153

[myTouch 4G General] morbidmrmartin:
I'm not sure what I did different this time, but I installed cm7.2 and flashed tdjs kernel over it. After about a day, everything settled in and cell standby is now staying under 15% its really strange, I've run this combination before and had issues, but not this time! I'm not one to question a good thing:D thanks for all your help everyone!

usually it's only 50-60 kb/s and once in a while will receive different errors (like: Upload failed: Error caused a send or load operation to fail (Error #2038)" or it will just stop transferring at all. Sometimes, it will get up to 175 kb/sec.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] syk759:
Hello!

I rooted my NT (1.4.2 8gb) about one-two weeks ago, but I'm still having problems trying to get apps from the browser. I downloaded the NT Hidden Settings apps and when I finally managed to make the "Unknown Sources" box stay checked by immediately turning off my nt right after clicking on the "Unknown Sources Hack", it didn't make any difference.

This is what happens: I download an .apk off my browser, go to Downloads, then click the download. It'll pop up with a message asking to complete the action using the App Installer or the Package Installer. If I click the App, it'll will say, "Unable to intall. This application was not able to unstall onto your device. Please try "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to start again." If I click Package, it'll say, "Parse error. There is a problem parsing the package."

And it will do this with every .apk except for the one at http:comptonsoft.com/test/ called "AppMenu" which does basically the same thing as NT Hidden Settings. I've tried using ES File Manager, but when I go to the App Manager, the downloaded file isn't there for me to move/backup/fiddle with.

Also, I'm not sure if his is related to the issue at hand, but when I try downloading other apps I know for sure have an android version, it tells me it's incompatible with my device. :confused:

Can somebody please let me know how to fix my problem???

Thanks in advance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PJLLB:
You should be using the package installer, not the app installer, based on my experience. The package installer gave me the same results you see.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
In 1.4.2 you can't sideload that way but by installing/pushing apps with adb might work. That is why many 16GB NT users prefer going back to 1.4.0 where sideloading is not an issue but the thing is 8GB NT users can only have installed 1.4.2 internally otherwise you will brick your device.

In the native messaging app, attached images don't show a picture thumbnail like they do in third party apps like GO. Instead, there is a little play button and it opens a little media player. But on some ROMs that I've flashed, it has been an image thumbnail that would open an image. That leads me to believe that there is a setting somewhere that affects this. Is there a way to change how MMS behaves to attachments?

OK, I Know I did a very stupid thing but I flashed the Nordik Version of the Official ICS Rom for Arc S on My Arc.

Now The problem is when it was flashing, the flash stopped at a certain point. Here is the message

But then After I Rebooted, It showed the sony logo for a second and then some logo of the mobile with a caution symbol (Yellow Exclamatory Mark). And thats it, after a couple of seconds, it switched off.

I repeated the process and the same thing.

Scared Then I Flashed a Doom Kernel and did a factory reset. While the factory reset, it said that it could not open \data :|

i tried formating data many times but it could not mount it saying different file system.

So I flashed a matching Custom ROM and It does not work, Nether is any app installing nor any file getting saved

Then try a kernel and rom.

Hi all, I just got my Desire S this week after suffering through a SE X10 Mini Pro for ages.

I was keen to root my phone as the previous one practically required rooting and a custom rom to be useful.

I was able to successfully root the Desire S with no issue following the instructions to S-OFF the phone and then installed CWM Recovery via fastboot recovery image flash and used CWM Recovery to install the su tools.

However, not 2 days later and the phone is advertising an official system update. As I'm quite happy with the stock rom (It's functional, unlike the SE ones) I wanted to proceed. I let the update download and clicked install.

The phone then proceeded to reboot into CMW and displayed an error about being unable to open the update zip. I checked and realised the update had been placed in /sdcard/downloads/ rather than the root of the sdcard so I tried manually installing the zip from there. CWM was unable to install the zip and displayed the following output in the log:

The important part is, I think:

Does anyone have any idea what this error means? Is there actually an error in the zipfile or is something else wrong?
