[General Questions and Answers] MattyRad:
No problem, it was just hard to understand what you were asking. A VPN is a server your phone can connect to that will ensure secure and potentially encrypted traffic. The only problem is that it costs money to rent one, and setting up your own is pretty technical, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. There's plenty of guides online.

As for Linux, Android uses a modified Linux version that pretty much breaks all of its usefulness as a Linux machine. I recently tried to install native SSH and cron services for my phone and gave up because they weren't cooperating. If you want actual Linux utilities on your phone your best bet is to try and find an app that does it. Or you can get gritty with BusyBox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stevenavm:
Searched a bit, found a lot of good market dialers(ez dialer was my favorite) but I'm kinda looking for a way to resize the dialer on SKYICS 4.2F for 206 dpi.

Is there a way to manually edit the apk for this? Or can someone point me in the right direction? Or what's the best way to go about a dialer that scales properly at 206 dpi? I love the look of the dialer set up in SKYICS and would like to keep it if possible. Does the AOSP dialer scale properly on its own?

Or.. just what's everyone's favorite solution for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OFWGKTADGAF:
if you search in the cm9 forum for dialer.apk theres a modded dialer that works with all dpi... not sure if it works on skyics though.

GelaSkins are now available for the One X! I'm going through all the artwork now, it's so hard to choose :silly:
[HTC One X] theROMinator:
It seems like too much work just for a skin that will eventually peal and look aged lol.
[HTC One X] tasmaniandevil69:
Gelaskins don't have anything to do with those crappy fakes ones that you by from ebay.

I had one in my previous iPhone that that still looks like new after more than 2 years.

Gelaskins are expensive but they worth the money they cost. A really good option for my HTC One X.
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
Agree, have used few devices with GelaSkins. It is very resilient, worth the money IMO.

I'll give the One X a miss, as I like the look of the phone, and I have photo slide shows as wallpaper so a skin will look out of place.
[HTC One X] rob9:
Don't waste your money. I just got mine, they don't line up with the pogo pins/camera/3.5mm jack/simcard tray.

After working it a bit, I made it fit ok (but not perfect), and the pogo pins are completely covered...
[HTC One X] gunzy83:
Which version of the One X do you have? Is it the version with LTE (Snapdragon S4) or the Tegra 3 (3G only) version?
[HTC One X] rob9:
I have the tegra 3 version, the skin covers half the sim tray and none of the pogo pins go through the holes that were meant for the pins. There are 5 cutout holes for them but it just shows the back of the phone through. Also, the skin covers almost half of the audio jack.
[HTC One X] gunzy83:
Ouch! Thanks for the heads up. I am planning on getting the One XL on Telstra in Australia (LTE version) and I knew the pogo pins were in a different location. By what you have said, the Gelaskin might have been made for the LTE version (AT&T One X, Rogers One X, Telstra One XL) and the pin holes would be closer to the bottom of the device (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631225). Would you say that is a fair assessment?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pittsey:
My problem is this -

I had an i9000 on vodafone, rooted and running TeamICS SGS 4.2. All was fine, until I sold it to my friend. He is on O2, but I believed the phone to be unlocked.

His sim is in the phone. Mobile data works fine but no signal.

The IMEI starts 00499901******

Is there an IMEI issue with the phone?

Does it need unlocking?

Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pittsey:
OK. So it is an IMEI issue. I assume I have to install a stock rom, and re-root?

[General Questions and Answers] ilikeeggs1230:
What is the difference between unlocking and rooting?
[General Questions and Answers] eggrolled:
From my understanding, rooting is giving access to the full system of your phone when normally you cannot access, which some apps require. Unlocking is a process which allows your phone to be used with other networks like using a T-Mobile phone with Vodafone.
[General Questions and Answers] ilikeeggs1230:
Thanks that helped A lot

[General Questions and Answers] shane6374:
There is also unlocking the bootloader which in a simplified nutshell allows for the loading of custom recoveries and roms.
[Thunderbolt General] project.self:
Got the phone a year ago for free from my mom cause VZW messed up her insurance and she got the Thunderbolt for no extra charge.

Charging port started to get really weak and you had to jiggle it around. Well, it completely got smashed in about 2 months ago. Dad has the same phone so he would charge my batteries whenever I was in town, but I usually just used a flip phone for calls and texts and my wife's old Captivate when wifi was around.

Dad offered to get me the Galaxy Nexus a few days ago before Verizon screws around with unlimited data.

[Thunderbolt General] dizzyman1180:
I will agree with you. It's all in what Rom you use and how you set it up. If you let everything run like gps and auto sync, the battery will die quickly on any phone, its a given. Sync when you need too and use gps when you need it. Dim the screen when you can and don't overclock a ridiculous amount and you can easily get a day out of it. I haven't had any issue with my tbolt. My .02 :D
[Thunderbolt General] Fadingintofall:
You guys are lucky. I keep my screen dimmed, GPS and sync off, underclocked kernel, stick on 3g...

Generally when I leave the house to catch the bus, I'm at 100%. By time I get to work two hours later... 50%.

Granted the phone gets a lot of use during that time. But compared to my droid, droid 2 and even my old blackberry curve... The battery is atrocious.

Granted if I put it in airplane mode it can last a long, long time.

I love this phone... But the battery blows.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] faraz_fireboy:
First: CM9 is quite heavy in it's nature...

And second swap your SD Card

And use chainfire3D.

And use auto memory manager with "aggressive" setting.

why 1.55

I've had problems with 1.6 and 1.65 with Firefox Beta 14.0. It livelocks as soon as it tries to download a web page (consumes 100% CPU until the battery dies). Going back to 1.55 fixed it for me.

didn't work on my lg p500

because it turns off the 3g connection when I enable tethering.

but I think it's a ROM issue.

I have 2.2.1 installed on my lg p500, and I'd like to share my internet connection with a samsung galaxy tab (honeycomb 3.2).

With an other application (Wifi Theter) I can act as an hotspot, as I want, but my galaxy tab can't see the wifi network available. other devices can, I can connect from my notebook, as an example.

So, I assume the problem is on the galaxy tab.

galaxy tab can connect to other wireless networks, but can "see" the one provided by wifi theter.

Anyone knows I to solve this?

thanks in advance for any help

I use FoxFi everyday on my Motorola Photon 4G with no issues, actually it solved my issue of motorola creating adhoc. Its a great app! Now just waiting on my GSIII

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

The reason FoxFi shuts off your 3g connection is because it turns on the wifi radio to use for hotspot access around the security in your phone.

As far as Wifi Tether goes, are you broadcasting in adhoc mode?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Hiro14:
I just gave this app a go. It looks like everything setup just fine on the phone but when I try to connect with my windows 7 laptop I get a "cannot connect" error. I think it's trying to use an ad hoc connection type. I don't think ICS supports ad hoc tethering. Could someone with a gingerbread phone could give this a try? If it works on a gingerbread phone then it's probably an ad hoc issue.

Rooting one's phone can be quite risky for a lot of reasons, so this is a big help to those who want to wait or have no intention of rooting their phone. Once I find a quick way to avoid raising my binary counter, I plan to root my phone. Until then, whats up FoxFi?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] macdroid01:
So does FoxFi still not work on a regular, stock, NON rooted S III ?

I want to do wifi tethering with my VZW S III but without rooting. At least at first, because I have the same reservations the poster above does.

Is it correct that the only app that allows wifi tethering WITHOUT rooting, is FoxFi?

Also I tried FoxFi on my Droid 2, which is supposed to work and it did not... Good ol' PDAnet works. Now I know apps will tether via bluetooth without rooting on S III (PDAnet, FoxFi, etc work with bluetooth fine right?) But... isn't BlueTooth much slower than 4G LTE, especially VZW 4G?
