[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
You can vnc with Wifi Direct if both support it, or connect with wifi hotspot (even if no modem) then use IP address and proper app to vnc.

As far as I know not with bluetooth, I may be wrong though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billouetaudrey:
Thx for your response...

WiFi direct don't work on my tablet... And haven't hotspot here...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
"Even if no modem"

Meaning you don't need an internet connection/mobile data to do it, just wifi hotspot off of your nexus and connect with your TF. Wifi-direct should be working with latest ota or any aosp rom too.

Edit: Also try droidmote app. (does cost a bit of money, only if you can't get direct connect working)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filb:
Hello everybody,

I've looked all over the web trying to find a solution for this particular problem but I'm yet to find a solution and I hope you nice fellows at XDA can help me out. :)

My situtation is that whenever I connect my phone to my computer, all goes well, until I tap that nasty little 'USB Tethering' button, then all goes to hell. My computer then can't find my until I disable it again.

Transferring files over works flawlessly, all works well until I press USB tethering.

So my question is, how do I fix this? I need this to work for me to use my computers internet connection on my phone.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

~Filb

P.S. I'm on CM9 Nightlies.

EDIT: I have USB debugging enabled, without it my computer can't find my phone whatsoever. All the correct drivers are installed (via Kies recently).

EDIT 2: Ok, now my computer recognizes my device when I enable USB tethering. But when I check the network, it says that it's an 'Unidentified Network'.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filb:
Still in need of help.

Anybody? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
This is a forum, not an instant help IM client. If someone hasn't responded to your inquiry yet, it's because no one who knows the answer to your question has read your post yet. When someone does, they will answer.

And that's not what usb tethering does. Usb tethering lets you use your phone's internet on your computer. Sounds like you want to reverse tether.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filb:
I posted the above post so my thread doesn't get lost, and if somebody knows the answer, then they'd see the post instead of it being lost, and me never getting any help.

I do want to reverse tether, but I can't do that until this problem is fixed.

EDIT: And me thinking this is a Q&A forum, silly me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
ctomgee answered your question. Turn off USB tethering. Thats used to connect a laptop/PC to the internet through your phone. It has nothing to do with browsing or copying your files from phone to PC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I didn't say anything about this NOT being a Q&A forum. But bumping your thread after only 3 hours is ridiculously impatient, and technically violates one of the forum rules.

Also, I'm not positive since I don't actually use reverse tether, but I'm fairly certain you don't do it by turning on usb tethering.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
I tried it as some user posted about some app from market, but it never worked.

As far I think, reverse tether doesn't work on s2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filb:
I bumped my post because it went to second page, I guess that's a little impatient and I'm sorry about that.

Regarding the reverse tether, USB tethering must be enabled to use the app 'Reverse Tether', so that's where the problem is.

@Bored_Stupid My problem isn't transferring files, that works fine. It's just when I enable USB tethering, the connection from my phone to my pc is lost therefore disabling me from using the app I need for reverse tether.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Will try it out on my PC when i get home," at work at the moment ". Appoligies for misunderstanding your question.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Are you talking about this app? As far as I can tell, you are NOT supposed to activate USB tethering to use this app. Is that not accurate? Or am I reading it wrong?

EDIT: I just watched the video. The app actually activates tethering when you turn it on. Sorry. Well, maybe this is an issue with CM9? I dunno. Try checking the CM9 nightlies discussion thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filb:
Yup, that's the app.

You must have USB tethering enabled for the reverse tether process to initiate, otherwise it won't start.

I don't think it's CM9 as it was working a few days ago when I just flashed the ROM, but I'll check anyway.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sab3awydaking:
I have the stock 4.0.3 ROM. Maps crash after few seconds since the very first moment I bought the phone. I rooted the ROM and Kernel and tried different ROMS (Stock 2.3.5, Stock 4.0.3, Resurrection Remix 1.8.1). Of course I did a full reset/data wipe, reinstall maps, delete cache data many times and still the problem the same. It is worth mentioning that when I try different GPS apps which are based on google maps they work FINE with no problem. It is only the maps application which has this problem.

Thanks guys. Turns out it was the street view application causing all this drama. Uninstalled it and gmaps works smoothly so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
Can't guarantee you that it'll help, but as you're already rooted anyway you should try a to do a backup and then install a custom ROM that is not based on Samsung's ROM.

Gingerbread:

MIUI or Cyanogenmod 7

ICS:

Cyanogenmod 9

As you're using stock ICS, I'd go for the latter option.

To avoid unnecessary problems do it like this:

1) Go to the cm9 thread and download the "resurrection edition"

2) Install it with Odin or Heimdall

3) Download the latest nightly (on get.cm - it's the " update-cm-9..." ones, not the " update-cm-7..." ones!)

4) Update with cwm

5) Install gapps

6) Test and report back

If there is any question, just ask. ;-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
For me it would be a wipe and clean install of stock as yours is a very unusual problem .

....................................

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .

Backup data first if phone is working .

Boot CWM recovery

Mounts and Storage

Format cache data system sd card .

Remove battery

Boot to download mode

Open Odin

Install correct stock firmware .

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] codeknight11:
IMPORTANT - APK decompilation is needed only when you are going to edit some xml's or other stuff. If you want edit or replace png's, you need to extract the apk instead of decompiling it.

If you want to extract an apk for theming, read this tutorial - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1665674

1) Download apkmanager ( http://www.apkmultitool.com/?q=node/5 ) and install it.

2) Put the apk you want to decompile in 'place-apk-here-for-modding' folder.

3) Double click on 'script'

4) Ignore the 'adb not found' command and press enter

5) Type 22 i.e. 'set current project' and press enter.

6) Type 1 and press enter

7) Type 9 and press enter to decompile apk.

8) Wait until the decompilation finishes.

9) Minimize command line and go to projects -> filename.apk -> make the required changes

10) Switch back to command-line, type 11 and press enter.

11) After sometime you'll get a message 'is this a system apk?', type y and press enter.

12) You'll get another message 'aside from......... of errors', type y and press enter.

13) Wait until you get this message - 'In the apk manager.... this script' , dont do anything, minimize command-line, go to keep folder and delete resources.arsc

14) Switch back to command-line and press enter.

15) Wait until the command-line comes back to its initial look.

16) Go to 'place-apk-here-for-modding' folder, your new file will be unsignedfilename.apk

Read step 17 if you have modded framework-res.apk, otherwise skip it.

17) Open framework-res.apk and unsignedframework-res.apk using 7-zip or winrar or any other archive manager. Drag and drop resources.arsc from unsignedframework-res.apk into framework-res.apk (do not extract them, just open them using any archive manager and do the drag-drop stuff)

18) Copy the file to SD card, rename it and remove 'unsigned' from file's name.

19) Push the file to original folder using root explorer and set proper permissions.

EG - If you modded framework-res.apk, push your old file ( first move resources.arsc from new to old framework and then move the old framework) to /system folder. Set permissions to rw-r--r-- and then move the file to /system/framework folder.

PS - Make a nandroid backup before doing this if you modded framework.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tamingsari2k:
+1

when you edit .9.png (I'm using Photoshop CS5)

after flatten image & save for existing image, it not save with .9.png.

for example:

filename.9.png it will be save to filename.png.

you must manually put .9.png

I know its better. Even I use apktool. But many people think apktool is confusing and they cant understand how to go about this decompiling and compiling stuff. That's why I wrote this guide so that people who cant understand apktool can try APKmanager :)

update : downloaded and used also but u r not getting me. u telling to change only upper name i am talking about changing deeper name like wee see in application manager, titanium backup and app drawer.

that can be done only through editing AndroidManifest.xml file
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] codeknight11:
1) Open android manifest.xml in notepad++

2) Press Ctrl+F

3) Type the app's name

4) It will higlight a part with the same text, rename it as you want to.

5) Keep on clicking 'find next' and keep renaming until the app's real name is no longer present in the xml.

6) Done. Enjoy :D

No, I dont have MS Office installed on my PC. But still I have readable fonts. Make sure you edit using Notepad++, not Notepad. And you shouldnt extract the apk. You need to decompile it :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mailanik:
The keep folder won't appear unless you have modified(e.g decompiled) a apk. When you will be recompiling the modified apk the keep folder will be created at a stage and apkmanager will ask you to delete those files which you have modified. just look at the screenshot below.

Now make sure you delete resources.arsc if you have if you have modified any .xml file inside the res folder.

and the keep folder will be created in the same directory where folders like place-apk-here-for-modding are situated.

I have also attached the apkmanager I use.
