[HTC Wildfire S] karz25:
I recently got a new Wildfire S and i cant flash new roms so I've been trying to install all the mods i want myself, but I've been unable to get the wifi hotspot working. I am able to launch the app from link2sd but when i try to enable it, it just says it processing, until i turn it off.

If anyone can help me get this feature working, that would be greatly appreciated!

I am rooted, S-offed, and have an unlocked bootloader. VMU CDMA. I have CWM Recovery installed but cant flash roms (I can flash everything else though) Stock rom so sense 2.1 Android 2.3.4
[HTC Wildfire S] whatthebeep25:
did you rooted it
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
What type of device? GSM or CDMA

What Carrier? Virgin, O2, Metro PCS etc...
[HTC Wildfire S] karz25:
yes i am rooted. also s-offed, and unlocked bootloader, with CWM recovery (roms seem to be the only things that wont flash) also i am CDMA Virgin Mobile.
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
I have built to flash file to do the following below.

This was documented/researched by forum member Insink71.

Remember make a backup of all your files. I also advise using root explorer to make your changes.

Remove this line in your build.prop by putting a # in front.

#ro.wifi.hotspotUI=0

Then goto system/customize/MNS/default.html and delete the following lines.

<function name="applications_hide">

<set name="plenty" max="7">

<item name="package">com.htc.WifiRouter</item>

<item name="class">com.htc.WifiRouter.Intro</item>

</set>

</function>

<function name="htc_widgets_hide">

<set name="plenty" max="7">

<item name="package">com.htc.htcsettingwidgets</item>

<item name="widget_name">htcsettingwidgets.HotspotParentItem</item>

</set>

<set name="plenty" max="7">

<item name="package">com.htc.htcsettingwidgets</item>

<item name="widget_name">htcsettingwidgets.HotspotWidgetItem</item>

</set>

</function>

When done reboot and you should have hotspot use.
[HTC Wildfire S] karz25:
I tried the zip, but it had an error while installing, so i replaced my default.xml and build.prop with the ones from your zip. i launched the hotspot app, and enabled it. it appeared to be working, but when I tried to connect from my laptop it told me i have limited access, and i couldent open any websites. any other ideas?
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Sorry about the zip file. I used the wrong edify language, I corrected the file and added a few other items below.

As for why you are not getting to the internet...Check on your computer to see if you are getting gateway ip and dns ip. You can do a ping check to www.yahoo.com from your computer.

Since I do not have Virgin Mobile I can only offer limited help.
[HTC Wildfire S] karz25:
Thanks!

I got it working:) The zip worked this time! You should upload that to the development section to help others out too. The help is much appreciated!
[HTC Wildfire S] deathstroyer:
Hi I have a metro pcs wildfire unlocked s-on rooted and mine also won't let WiFi work can u send me the same zip file to help me out please
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
You stated on another thread, that you are using Simon Sense3.5 ROM which should already have these fixes in it. Is your ROM version 2 or 1??
[HTC Wildfire S] deathstroyer:
Yes but it won't let me get on the net is sometype of patch I can use
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Need more information if you want me to try to help...

Does your laptop get a IP, gateway, and or DNS address for the hotspot setup?

Can you ping www.yahoo.com on your laptop?
[HTC Wildfire S] deathstroyer:
It automatically jumps to metro page saying WiFi hotspot not accessable please contact provider barnacle won't work also WiFi tether requiring root doesn't work is metro blocking use of WiFi hotspot use
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Nothing will work since MetroPCS is block after your phone. You can try to spoof your browser user-agent by setting it to what I listed below and that might spoof their servers.

where is this zip file everyone is talking about? is this a rom or something that i have to flash? i have a rooted htc wildfire s on virgin mobile and there is no hotspot options. i have even tried wireless tether for rooted users and it always gives an error trying to initialize the wifi.

what do i need to do to get my wildfire s to be a hotspot? i do not understand all of that coding or whatever in your second or third post. i do not know how to do that stuff...

i would appreciate some help! thanks!
[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
in the WiFi hotsoit for root users app, you have to go to settings and tick the routing fix option. it should work after that.
[HTC Wildfire S] pattonfiend67:
if there were such an option, i would check it, but since there is not, i can not.

anyone have any actual help that they can give me?

My original question is below:

EDIT:

[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
usually I wouldn't continue trying to help someone that is so rude but here is an attached picture of the in app settings to show you that yes there is the option. upon downloading the app, the description on the play store specifically says to check it if you have an HTC phone.
[HTC Wildfire S] pattonfiend67:
well, seeing how that i specifically stated that i use wireless tether for rooted users (which is the name of the app,) and you send me a picture for a program that i do not use, called wifi tether, you could see why your "help" was completely worthless to me.

i am just looking for the zip file that this guy said he had. i am not trying to get schooled on programs that i do not even use.

not trying to be rude, but if you are going to help, at least read what i am writing before you answer and then trying to insult me after giving me bad advice.

have a good day! thanks!
[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
lol I downloaded and have used the app that you mentioned, when you turn it on it looks like the picture attached no? I mean I downloaded the EXACT app you mentioned. just because the header is different means absolutely nothing. but since this is a complete waste of effort n my part I'll bow out, I honestly hope someone else can help you with the problem you're having.
[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
sorry for the double post, meant to put this picture but the app wouldn't let me change it :p
[HTC Wildfire S] pattonfiend67:
you are using an experimental beta of wifi tether. i am using the last stable release of wireless tether for root users. they are made by the same developer but are two completely different apps.

i downloaded your beta, and it still does not work, whether ticking the box or not. always fails when trying to initialize the wifi according to every single log. my wifi works fine without any hotspot apps in use so i know there is nothing wrong with my phone.

i need the zip file that this guy created. someone must have it or at least a workaround to get hotspot usage working on a US virgin mobile htc wildfire s.

someone else HAS TO HAVE had this same issue and found a way around it.

i am not looking for any more hotspot apps because they do not work with this phone service, i have tried them all, i just need the zip file from the first page of this thread which helped the other guy in my exact same set of circumstances.

i appreciate the help, but unfortunately, it doesn't work.
[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
I just read his post and that's super simple, its all just deleting certain parts. I think that's your best bet. you can pm him or maybe insink since he was mentioned. I know the search isn't always as helpful as everyone says.

[LG Nitro HD] PhrostB:
You guys were supposed to have it exclusive until a universal release that never actually happened.

Here's my question: was sfiv for Android ever updated? Or is 1.0 from last year still the latest version?
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
According to LG's website, the latest version is 1.01. That game crashes on my Nitro HD when I am using a custom ROM, so I stopped trying to use it a long time ago.

Hey guys, I just loaded CleanROM 4.5 RC1 and loving it so far. I noticed my baseband version if 2.23.707 now....where before it was 1.85. That's the radio right? What's the difference? I assume 2.23 is better? is their even a newer one still or is that the best?

I'm pretty good with this ROM flashing stuff, but don't quite get radios and the differences. Anybody care to help a newb? :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
2.23.707

2.23 is the HTC ROM version.

The ROM is a combination of drivers, firmware, applications and the operating system itself.

2.23 includes:

Radio - 0.19as.32.09.09_L_10.104b.32.25L

hboot - 1.14

kernel - 3.0.8-01564

Android - 4.0.4

Newer firmware for adsp, wifi and a whole heap of applications etc.

The HTC ROM version doesn't mean much device to device. Eg a One XL versus a One S.

The 707 is the region. 707 in this case is for Singtel Singapore.

502 would mean AT&T USA

841 Telstra Australia

708 Hong Kong (not carrier branded)

631 Rogers Canada

etc.

For the version they tend to relate across all regions. But mean more when following for just that region.

2.23.707 was intended for Singtel Singapore which previously had 1.88.707.

1.89.841(Telstra) may or may not be an newer or an improvement over 1.88.707.

This thread has a list of radios that were released with certain ROMs.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] the_scotsman:
I'm surprised he's included a radio with his ROM> Not many devs do that, as people have their own preference.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Yea I usually don't wanna flash a rom which flashed the radio also. Is there a way to take it out?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] the_scotsman:
Find your original one from HERE and flash it :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] msfguard:
Your mistaken I think your build number probably changed from 185 to 223 your radio is the baseband line and 223 radio starts as 19as and is not included directly in the rom but is available in another post of scotts
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Scott:
There is no such thing as a 2.23 baseband. You need to go back and look at the info again. You are confuising baseband with build number.

2.23 is the software build and release keys. The baseband would be .19 or .18 or something like that.

There is no radio in my ROM. I would never do that. Thats reckless. And if I did do it it would be noted in the op.

Baseband is a lot differnt than softeware build number, lol

There is no radio in my ROM.

Mhm there's the man to clarify the issue himself

And oops the radio thread was someone else! Stock firmwares thread is indeed maintained by Scott tho
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
If you got 2.23 from HTC it would include all parts of 2.23. Custom roms may only include hand picked portions.

Eg most custom roms only use the os, apps and kernel but not any firmware, like radio etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] detroitjb:
Apologies, your right, I was looking at the wrong version. 2.23 is the build version, not baseband.

Question though: my baseband version 0.17.32.09.12. After flashing CleanROM 4.5 RC1, my phone constantly switches between H and G, and in the about>phone info, it goes from HSPA to HSPAP to UMTS. This doesn't seem normal...it never did this before. SHould I flash a different radio to go with this ROM? Sorry if this is going off on more of a custom ROM tangent!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dcfella:
I got a privacy screen protector and put it on last week. The one I got was about $6 or $7 from ebay. It fits good, but basically just tints the screen. My gf has a privacy screen protector on her HTC, and that one works a lot better. I find the one I got makes the screen hard to read in any kind of daylight, even when I turn the brightness all the way up. It really diminishes the vibrancy of colors. I have a spare SGP oleophobic that I'll probably put on sometime this weekend and ditch the privacy screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GrapePopRocks:
I saw that on Amazon and the comments said it was just tinted. 3M says they make them for the Note but when i tried to order one it said there were no online dealers. I emailed them, when I hear back I will post.

So 2 days ago I've put my pants in the washing machine and forgot my x10.

After 30 minutes I've realized this and immediately took it out, rinsed it with cold water, took it completely apart, rinsed again.

Then I've let it dry in the sun and put it back together.

First tries it did nothing so I've put it back in the sun again. Now it boots without problems, screen works but colours look a bit funky because the water. speaker and mic and everything else are working perfectly.

So my next phone is definitaly going to be a sony again.

Just wanted to share my stupid story. If it doesn't belong here feel free to delete.

actually I'm a technician/electrician

it not about Sony or samsung..it all about a basic thing...whenever any electrical (with mainboard and chipset) items get into water..

2-Remove batery /unplug power supply

2-just let it TOTALLY DRIED..I repeat..TOTALLY DRIED...then it will fine..

Does this also apply to the Verizon model? This is where I'm confused. If it's not, why wouldn't it be available if it is on the others?

Considering the way Verizon treat the Galaxy Nexus, I don't expect them to release Jelly Bean for it in a couple months, but there is always custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
GSM models have 4.1.1 OTA if you're of the "takju" or "yakju" firmware variant, which are updated directly by Google. Other variants, such as yakjuxw and yakjujp have yet to be updated.

CDMA models have yet to receive an OTA.

Unfortunately Verizon is notorious for this when it comes to updates. Especially when it comes to the Nexus. It took forever to do any updates on the Nexus and it still has signal issues that were suppose to fixed months ago. :(

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidModder:
But wait, then how can we make Android roms that look and act like WP7?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparx180:
That's nothing to do with the code, its just how the launcher and other parts of the ROM are designed to look like wp7
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidModder:
Oh okay
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Technically, Microsoft does actually make open-source operating systems (Singularity is open-source, for example, but it's a research OS, not intended for "real" use). Also, while WP7 is not open source, it's kernel and core libraries are somewhere between CE 6 and CE 7, and the source code for those is available (under a license that probably doesn't meet the OSI's definition of open source, since you have to pay a license fee to sell devices running anything you built from the code, but otherwise comes pretty close).

As for the Android skins, that's all they are - skins. They may look like WP7, but they don't actually act like it at all under the covers; they're still Dalvik and POSIX C/C++ running on the Android userspace running on the Linux kernel. With a UI as simple as WP7's, it's pretty easy to make something else that looks the same, although all the skins that I've seen do actually have small diferences.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidModder:
Cuz I was running a rom on my phone and it emulated WP7. Like everything was themed
