[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mithre:
Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue, have tried clearing out the USB port, different cables and every port on my PC. It charges on connection but doesn't recognise that it is connected to a computer rather than a power port.

Any advice?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SAJdroid:
Are you on stock or custom rom ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mithre:
Stock. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset as it has been freezing a lot recently and I suspect its a software issue, but I was hoping to do a proper backup first, however I lost root a while ago when I updated to ICS :(. I don't know if the freezing and not recognising computer could be two sides of the same issue?

i've use Wolfs TW Gingerbread rom and i never had this problem, but i want to go back to stock.

Help me, its this normal ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Li-polymers:
You can use Pc companion to re-install a stoxl rom, than re-root it. Or reinstall the rom
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Stock gingerbread rom is very laggy and slow. I think there is such a thing like fpsuncap or sth.like that, that makes the rom faster. I never used that, bwcause every custom ROM has that. Search for it in the dev forum.

[Nokia Lumia 900] AnyMal:
Has anyone with SIM unlocked Lumia tried to use Internet Sharing with non-AT&T SIM? I use to own Focus Flash that was SIM unlocked. It worked well outside of AT&T network with one exception, internet sharing. Everytime I tried to initialize it I would get a message to contact AT&T
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
Internet Sharing is hardcoded to check AT&T account for verification. There is no way to unlock that unless you can somehow flash a generic non-AT&T ROM.
[Nokia Lumia 900] denispage:
And unfortunately at this time, there is no custom non-at&t roms.

Still waiting....
[Nokia Lumia 900] GuestD0608:
not to hijack the thread, but can anyone confirm internet sharing works on Rogers? I have been unable to use it on my 900, and I have a 6GB LTE plan
[Nokia Lumia 900] AnyMal:
That sucks. Why in the hell are they doing it :confused:
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
Because it is required by carriers. You either have tethering but require account checking (because tethering cost $$) or don't have it at all.

And unlike GSM SIM unlock which is a GSM phone standard feature. There is no such thing as tethering unlock. For example, Android phone tethering check works totally differently than Windows Phone. Same is true for iPhone. But one thing is sure, they all contain propertary code in order to access specific carrier's user account information. So, T-Mobile phones will contain T-Mobile specific account verification code and AT&T phones will contain AT&T specific account verification code. Other carriers may not require any account verification at all.
[Nokia Lumia 900] AnyMal:
That is a BS policy. Tethereing should not be blocked when the phone is used wirh other carrier's SIM
[Nokia Lumia 900] JerryTheZ:
I tethered from my Focus on AT&T and all I had to do was enable it thru the Diag. mode. Unfortunately that option does not appear on the 900. :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
There is no requirement/policy says that tethering has to be enabled for other carrier's SIM. Hence, there is no incentive for carrier to put a smart code in place to check whose SIM it is currently use.

Officially Focus does not support tethering at all. What you described is a diagnostic mode only existed on early WP7 phones using dail-up modem mode.
[Nokia Lumia 900] disolitude:
Do latest unlocked Android phones have this carrier checking requirement as well?

I've had a few newer unlocked Windows phones that I imported from other carriers and they all had this problem. Quite frustrating...
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
All AT&T Android phones are locked to AT&T for tethering, unlocked or not (it is quite easy to defeat if you root your phone in current non-ICS firmware. But with ICS firmware leaks, there is not yet any way to defeat the lock, only certain work arounds). You can buy non-carrier branded Android phone or WP7 phone. They are not locked to any carrier. Just don't expect any carrier branded phone to do the same.
[Nokia Lumia 900] disolitude:
Thanks. The only problem with buying non branded phones is that in some cases they don't exist. I really wanted a Focus S and my only option was at&t. Luckily there was an internet sharing

/phone unlock hack available through windowbreak project for Samsung phones...
[Nokia Lumia 900] AnyMal:
Does the windowbreak automatically disables carrier check for tethering or is there something else I'd need to do? TIA
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
Windowbreak is a full jail break for WP7 phone. It may or may not work on Lumia. Once you jail braked your phone, you can then replace the tethering module with a generic WP7 build that does not check accounts.
[Nokia Lumia 900] AnyMal:
Is there a thread that explains how to flash the generic module?
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
Windowbreak currently seems only work for Samsung phones. You probably will find more details in Samsung Focus S forum about it.

Hello all,

I'm working on a research assignment for school and I'm a little stuck.

I know it's possible to install a new bootloader on the Amazon Kindle fire.

I would like to do more than that.

I want to install a new or change the settings of the Linux kernel on the Kindle Fire. Why?

I want use the tablet for my own purposes. These purposes mean that I have to control all ports and memory to restrict access.

Can this be done, theoretically?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abundantmussel:
Bootloaders e.g FFF can be loaded to the boot partition seperatly. The same can be done with recovery partitions and the kernel.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _CK:
Thank you for this information.

Can I also delete the other bootloader and the Android OS?

I want nothing else on the Kindle Fire other than my bootloader and programs.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abundantmussel:
You can write FireFireFire or something similar to the boot partition. To run your programs tough you will some version of the Android OS on the device.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izzy Stinson:
enough said.

im currently using an xperia mini pro and the specs are nearly the same as play except it has smaller screen. i noticed there are many android games lag on my mini pro therefore so does the play correct?

so my point is, should i wait for a new play comes out probably a dual core processor is enought at least ir should i just buy it cos there will be no xperia play 2 this year at least??? :confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
Well, my new phone is dual-core and a lot of games perform just the same as on the play. Some are even worse. I think it depends heavily on the developers and the game itself.

The problem is that Android games in general aren't written in a very efficient way, and aren't optimized well for a wide enough range of phones. Some games run better on Qualcomm, some better on Samsung chips.. Nothing seems to be optimized across the board from what I've seen.

i would really like to see a new Xplay be released from sony

sony ericsson really dissapointed me with the Xplay they brought out :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
If they're smart,

they won't touch the resolution

, because they should be keen enough to figure out that changing the resolution would compromise and sacrifice from the 300+ games Xperia Play already has under it's belt.

With Xperia Play already running everything buttery-smooth on it's 1GHz snapdragon, dual-core/quad-core isn't really necessary... but we all know that media outlets will assure it's publicly DOA with idiotic conjectures about how it'll be behind the curve at launch if they don't (if only the general public could see how well Xperia Play keeps up with the *beasts* like SGS2 in Android's highest-end games)... so might as well slam a spec-whore processor in there to shut them up.

Doubling or quadrupling the RAM wouldn't hurt as long as they keep their focus on quality over quantity as highly as they did by choosing the ELPIDA chip they chose this time around, and doing something about that absolutely puny internal storage would definitely aid us in the combat against Gameloft's phone storage-whoring bastards.

Otherwise, nothing should change. Bump up what needs to be bumped up without compromising what they've established.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
It would be interesting if they did a retina display-esque exact double of the current resolution though
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mael5trom:
The display should be 720p at least, yes, it will probably break a few games, but the benefits far outweigh the cost, most of those apps will be updated for 720p, or should have been written in a way to upscale to begin with. Hardware will likely be S4 or S4pro from what I can see from Sony so far and would be a good choice in keeping compatibility with current titles.

TLR whilst your steadfast resolve in defence of the plays specs is very admirable, and I would echo them myself on occasion, updating the plays specs is a must, Sony themselves have said that they had to do a lot of rework on ics to run on phones with such low ram, whilst the play might be able to run current gen games fine, it wont have a chance at many future upcoming titles, ive played gta3 on a sgs2, ...whilst the controls are terrible, theres a massive difference in overall performance.

Most of these games run well on the play to begin with because they were built with the sgs/xplay 1ghz single core cpu/gpu in mind, because they comprise a large portion of the market, that wont be the case in 6 months, soon these phones will be relegated to the low end, and just like pcs, your phone will be too obsolete to run the current games. I havent seen any games made yet that really push the sgs2 or even higher end phones to anywhere near their potential.

Also, i would be quite happy to see the occasional lag and force kills of running apps disappear. I do agree that they need to continue the good work they have done so far, the form factor and controls are good, expandable memory, removable battery, all that jaz, all I could really ask for is proper analog sticks and larger/better positioned volume up/down for gaming doubleduty.

Well my dialer seems to freeze and it won't let me end a call, this happens at random times. I try pressing the red End Call button but it just looks like im pressing it but it doesn't end the call. I can press the home button but the call is still active and I could press the power button but that only turns off the screen with the call active. I have to press the button like a million times before it finally responds and hangs up. This has happened multiple times and I was wondering if there was anyone else out there with this problem.

Software update: currently im on version 1.26.708.2 and ive read that there is a new version put out. Ive tried doing the software update on my device but it tells me there is no new update. Do I need to connect the phone to my PC and update that way?

Keyboard: I hate the arrow keys at the bottom of the screen during messaging and emails. Ive tired editing the keyboard but I cant find the option to remove the arrows...

Sorry if these are noob questions but im Noob to android and a super noob to HTC Sense.

What is the specific function of init.goldfish.rc?

With init.rc you set the systemwide properties, ok. (in linux). With init.goldfish.rc ...? You can do the job for init.rc also with this file? Is goldfish the specific init.rc for/from google-android?

For example, for compiling new kernel I have mountpoints also given in goldfish, and try the direct setting of ext2,3,4 only in goldfish -not in init.rc. It works.

In goldfish there is also enabling google-specific location features, imo you can delete this (if you dont want location e.g.), or see I wrong?
