HELP!

I need a little help, hopefully someone has the answer.

I have flashed my AT&T Ion with both the Rogers and HK firmwares multiple times successfully. My entire reason for doing this is to gain the WiFi hotspot capability (which I had on my X10 with flashed Rogers firmware). In each case I have elected to keep my personal data. Unfortunately, I have not gained the unlocked hotspot /tethering options from any of these migrations.

Is there some simple step I am missing?

Do I need to nuke my personal data to get this to work properly?

Is rooting required?

Many have seemed to do this successfully with my model so I am confused about why I am having a problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Try flashing the LT28i baseband. I heard this has allowed the LT28h ICS to have tethering and LTE
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sersen:
LT28i is the one I referred to as "HK". I haven't tried the ICS variant yet...I wanted to get a gingerbread version working 1st before I went farther.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
All you have to do is flash the lt28i generic. Setup the at&t APN and setup a WiFi hotspot password and off you go.

Is there anyway to get lt28h english version? like singapore?

Track it down and we'll mirror it.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] icbless:
i have already flash mine to the chinese version. is there anyway i can get it back?. i tried PC companion and stuff, all i can do is repair it. and it still would be the chinese version.

and if there is a way to get it back...how do i "track it"?

track means find it somewhere in the internet?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Yep. We have to find someone with it on their phone so we can make an ftf of it.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Icbless, you might want to try some of the Chinese forums also if you haven't

Btw, you can switch keyboards and languages on settings.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
There won't be a generic US firmware since at&t has an exclusive agreement. Sony released ICS for the Xperia P not ion

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iceman99393:
Can we get some md5 codes for these downloads to ensure what we are trying to flash is correct. Since ive been having issues, i think because of bad downloads.

The Generic ICS build gave me a md5 of: 0A02B578F2F1CD4112F4F2E0B32CF823

Generic GB gave me an md5 of : 80844F84E3870F81B20674763DE51C6A

Can anyone confirm that? I contine to get aborted messages when attempting to flash.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vladvertigo:
both downloads are correct
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
You need to check your drivers and your cable.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iceman99393:
What other drivers could I be missing? The drivers installed when I turned on USB debugging, and I installed drivers in flash tool folder.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] geduxaz:
What about 6.1.e.1.20?

Phone did download this version (~19Mb), but after reboot can't update.

Sony Companion don't find this version and say that 6.1.e.0.233 is the latest version.

Added md5 codes for the downloads links of files I have uploaded. Can't verify the others.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] geduxaz:
Maybe it is possible to find that downloaded file in phones memory. If you could guide me, i would like to share it if you.

My Ion is test model "not for sale" so maybe that's why it got this .20 update.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Probably. We had that happen before and retail phones could not flash it.

Someone might want to repost that link to mediafire or some other file server, it will not take long for his dropbox to limit out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
Already hit that. Looks like the link hasn't been working for a while according to some Vietnamese forums. Seems like a few here were able to grab it, hoping they mirror it soon.

Also, through Google Translate of that same Vietnamese site, someone posted there's something wrong with the ftf (or at least that's how it translates). Maybe that's why Accts had issues.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] trung1214:

Thanks for updating us here. Did you make the FTF? If so, do you think something went wrong in the process, and would you be able to make another FTF?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] trung1214:
Yes,I made it. I use three biggest files and using flashtool to make.

Only one,so sr about that.I have the mediafire link,if u want,I will share to u.

I now live in Taiwan,because Taiwan is the first country to have LT28i after at&t, may be Taiwan is the first one to update 4.0.

So sr about my English.

So I can connect bluetooth to my laptop to a degree, in fact it worked just fine at first, then it stopped working and there's a yellow triangle on my device under windows devices, and when I do trouble shoot it says basically bluetooth peripherals not installed. I've read about going into device manager and installed all the yellow triangle bluetooth peripherals but not all of them are compatible with my phone. And now the samsung bluetooth peripheral isn't even there! I tried looking in HP drivers for anything bluetooth and currently downloading and installing everything I can, but the fact it specifically said peripheral makes me think it's something else I need to download, I just have no clue! I'm really baffled here, so if anyone has had a similar problem and figured it out please offer me some assistance. Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rististien:
wow, so no one can help me? Bumping this..... I can send files from phone to pc over bluetooh, and was finally able to send from phone to pc, but my comp got effed and I had to do a re-install, now it isn't working again. I can't be the only person with this problem!!!!!

I attempted to send you a pm but it does not seem to work for me. I went to a site called blog dot joelvincent dot com. Try searching on there for "Solved bluetooth peripheral device driver." this works for windows vista and 7. I found if you follow the 7 steps it will work completely. just remember to download Windows Mobile Device Center. He uses the drivers for that program to fix the issues with the phone.

If need more help I'd be happy to type out the entire procedure. Let me know.

I followed the link and turns out micosofts page to download the windows 7 one is down.... only vista up... makes one go hmmmm but at least I know what to google for, thanks a lot. I'll report back if I finally get it to work :)
[HTC One X] nisbne:
Hi All,

helping a work college getting his One X working with Foxtel on the telstra network.

i have a HTC one XL purchased thru Telstra it worked fine with foxtel app and foxtel thru m.bigpond.com until i install cleanrom. i would that changing some values in build.prop to reflect telstra and htc one xl it worked again.

can anyone on telstra with htc one x confirm if they have been able to get foxtel to work and what method they used.
[HTC One X] xchasa:
Telstra + one x = XL.

Wrong forum mate.
[HTC One X] ewok666:
Did he say his friend had a One XL?
[HTC One X] OniV2:
Telstra only seems to sell the Brown-Black One XL, the 4G variant of the One X. Go to the XL forum.
[HTC One X] AUXRVIII:
Hi, I have an international One X on telstra and tried the Foxtel app, it won't load, but when connected to my WiFi at home it worked fine.
[HTC One X] xchasa:
And he's asking for Telstra users opinions and this would be the XL Forum.
[HTC One X] ewok666:
No he did not ask for one xl users.

He specifically asked for one x users on the Telstra network so he's on the right place and as a One x user on the Telstra network I have to say: sorry, no idea, don't use foxtel on my phone
[HTC One X] AUXRVIII:
I tried it again at a different location on Telstra network and it's working fine.
[HTC One X] xchasa:
Sorry. I thought Telstra only had XL.

Glad you got it sorted.
[HTC One X] ewok666:
No worries...

To be honest, I think Telstra does only sell the One XL but some of use have bought the One X outright and are using it on their network.

I don't "wanna" be anything other than what I am. My point still stands. There is already a thread if you were having a problem then the Q and A would be the way to go. Honestly though PKMN roms never really ran well at all on my rezound but each one handles things differently.

Hi Everyone,

So I have noticed with my new S3 that when I do certain things my screen colours are change. For instance if I am watching a movie using there new picture on the home screen thing and then I set it back to full screen and rotate the screen and then put it back on the home screen the text in my text messages is all screwed up and has a white border around all the text. As soon as I close the video this issue resolves it self.

Would this be a hardware or software issue and can any of you please try this for your self.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Can some of you S3 owners please do the following.

1: Load up a video with the default player.

2: Use the picture and picture feature.

3: Then return the video to full screen by tapping on the small video.

4: Then rotate the screen with the video playing to full screen.

5: Then return the video to the PnP mode and load up your text messages.

You should see your text has a white haze around all of the text.

Can someone please confirm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthik_hp_1992:
Your phone comes with an LCD test menu. You could use that to check for any issues on that front.

Following instructions from The SGS3 Indian FAQ and Discussion Thread could help you out. Thanks to Bala_gamer

* Enter the dialer and input the following code "*#0*#, it will give you a set of options to test the mobile.

* The same lcd test menu can be used for testing the tint issues, the main menu of the lcd test should look white rather than pinkish white or warmer white. you can either decide it yourself by your eyes or compare it with another AMOLED screen.

* Black dots are present on almost all AMOLED panels with varying intensity. Its not an issue. But if you still want to check for lesser dots take your mobile to pitch dark environment and load a complete black wallpaper, once your eyes get setlled to the environment look over the scrren. you will notice those spots.

I hope this tells you where the problem is. Lemme know if it works.
