621-rooted Tether options

I acquired a DroidX already OTA to 621. I got it rooted etc and have been running SteelDroid and 621_Modded_1.0_kY-Signed.zip.

SteelDroid allows me to use Wifi Tether fine, but USB Tether does not work.

kY-Mod does not have USB Tether (from Settings/Networks) but it has "3G Wifi Hotspot" built in. This redirects me to some VZ DUN crap page. But if I run Wifi Tether (aka Barnacle aka Wireless Tether) the 3G Wifi Hotspot fires off in the background. No wireless tethering working, plus it breaks my PagePlus programming until I reboot.

I'm wondering if anyone is satisified with USB or Wireless tethering on 621 rooted... ? I'm guessing that THB Hack still works even on 621 and that is the only way?

(consequently, I've been trying to remove "3G Wifi Hotspot" but it seems embedded in Settings.apk.)

Thanks!
[Droid X General] freakboy13:
Theres no reason the tbh hack shouldnt work. Just do some research and find the appropriate version.

Its been a couple years for me since I installed it but have used it on : d2,d2g,dx,dx2.

IF you are getting the V.zon redirect page its pretty obvious this hack is still the way to go.... why pay for an app from playstore?

If you are running a custom rom PLEASE research these things before you go and install something like this.

this will require bootstrap or cwm to install, or rom manager.

Sorry to bump an old thread. I work for vzw. Just an FYI, if you call asking for us to add it for free, we can't. There's no way to do so. If we add the mhs feature, there's a charge, and no way around.
[Droid X General] Äptiva:
The thing is, that fine was imposed on Verizon by the FCC for charging certain 4G LTE customers for tethering. They bought a certain frequency spectrum and the FCC added it into the contract that they couldn't charge for certain things like tethering. I believe it's only in a few markets and doesn't have any effect on 3G (like our beloved Droid X)

I looked into the case to see if somehow I could use it against Cricket a few months back, but after reading how the contract was worded, the actual viability of me starting an uprising with Cricket customers became nil. Verizon still has the full right to charge for tethering so long as your phone doesn't run on this frequency spectrum. Sorry guys :)

That's the 4G spectrum they bought.

Hey all, I was looking to find a guide about how to root now that we have ics. I was rooted but unrooted to get the OTA. I have s on and a relocked bootloader. I assume I just unlock the bootloader again and I flash some sort of recovery then install superuser, but I would like to see a guide to make sure I am doing things right. Thanks! :)
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
There's already a thread for ICS questions, please use that :)

Can I improve Battery Life by switch the Baseband version ?

I'm getting sick in JB's battery life T_T :crying:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] converse5:
I am having same trouble

I need to charge twice or thrice in a day and its exhausting,

I am thinking to move to CM 9
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geco4u:
Are you on stock JB? Very strange.

Did you check battery usage stats? Which process drains more?

If you have CWM or similar, try to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache (and reboot).[

If doesn't help, then do a factory reset or switch to another rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
i think radios doesn't really related to power consumption , because mostly, the power was taken by screen and CPU ...

as DX power booster recorded

CPU took 50.6% , screen with auto brightness 37.6% , radio just 8.6% and sensors took 3% in 5 hours

and considered i have been some area with really bad signal coverage , it's fair to say it should be down to 3% - 5% (because bad coverage will force phone to increase radio strength in order to maintain communications with cell-network)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] converse5:
Yes I am on stock JB JRO03E

just the screen drains the most of power, I am gonna use a monitor and see what app takes more battery and see then

If I flash GlaDos Kernel on my stock JB would it be fine?

I need to bring up the keyboard in the settings window of the email app so I can type "debug" but I can't figure out how to get the keyboard up.

Anyone?

usually you just have to tab into the field where you want to type. it opens automatically

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0usju1c3:
All of a sudden today I can't change my wallpaper to a pic from my Gallery. Tried from stock Wallpapers still couldn't, I changed to a Live one and it worked. Tried rebooting, shutting down turning back on and still happening. Another weird thing, when I select the section of the pic and hit save, it generates a duplicate but cropped image as another file...so the wallpaper that I wanted instead becomes another cropped image. Never seen anything like this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itadakiimasu:
Wallpaper to your home or lock screen? if it's the lock screen that won't change are you probably using a launcher? if so turn off your launcher and go back to TouchWiz first then change it from there also use the default gallery viewer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0usju1c3:
Thanks for that, I made the original Gallery default app instead of gallery3d from S2. Shame though, I don't mind using the S3 gallery except that that the sharing options are lacking. Has every option except Messaging, Email etc. The most popular choices are missing even if I choos 'More'.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
If the NT just stopped charging any suggestions?

I know the charger is working because it works on the phone with a different cable. Also the phone adapter won't charge it, nor the pay for minutes things at the airport.

My thought is it is hardware related internal to the nook itself.

Thanks,

Fixed - If you have a similar problem use Mini Info App to toggle charging and see if it helps.

New info - charging Thurber off again. I toggled in Mini Info and had to restart Mini Info to turn charging back on. I have now taken Mini Info off home screen and will not use in case it is the problem. Not uninstalled yet, just off.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Are you using a cable other than the nook specific one?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Yes. Nook cable is used from two different charging bricks with no charging indicator. Don't get the animated battery and MiniInfo indicate nook is discharging. At about 69% and in case someone has a suggestion I want enough juice to implement, otherwise return to stock. Had the nook since December so I doubt any warranty.

Thanks,

Bill
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
okay... it does "sound" like you have a hardware issue. the nook's connector is a little bit longer than normal... is it wobbly ? are you getting the 'orange' or 'green' LED glow ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Not wobbley. Mine has shown green all the time since a week after I got it in December.

I'm wondering if it could be something with the kernel and if going back to stock may work. I doubt anything short a a repair will make it right.

Thanks,

Bill
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Charging after Return to Stock

Wonders will never cease! I used the "acclaim" modified zip to return to stock and the tablet started to charge. I'm going to let it get up to 100% then use the SD version of CWM to create a stock backup. I will then try to restore my CM7 internal rom and see if it is still charging.

I'll post results tomorrow.

Thanks,

Bill
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DavDoc:
Just out of curiosity, what ROM/Kernal were you running when you noticed this charging problem?

NVM...... It says CM7 right there in your post.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Running CM7 the April 24th Build. It was working great for a month or so then just stopped charging. The Nook charges with stock and with the CM9 with the 3xx Kernal. When I restored the CM7 24th version charging was not happening.

I'm going to try the older Team B version tomorrow
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
why not try the internal beta instead? works for both 8 and 16 GB variants
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
May do that. Really liked what I was using. Still there is a reason for the charging problem I want to track down.

Waiting for ICS or JB anyway.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Pilot Error

Charging fixed!!!

I have the Mini Info app and it has a button to turn charging off. I must have hit it when checking something.

Funny thing is in all other ROM's when charging is turned on they charge. I have to turn charging off on this version of CM7 for the Nook to charge.

It has been an interesting venture to say the least.
[Captivate Android Development] Arisenhavok91:
Okay, first thing I want to say is that I ported this. Andy Thomson did the hard work in bringing the latest MIUI builds to the GT-I9000. My ports include some tweaks and personal options that I like/enjoy. He and I have a mutual understanding that if we find a fix or improvement, we share them. He was gracious enough to let me port off of him, and didn't even ask for credit or recognition, just fixes. This guy's awesome, gotta give it to him.

And without further adeui...

This rom has been updated with Build.prop tweaks (Seen in 3rd post) in order to make your captivate run faster than the Flash, leap taller buildings than Superman, and teleport faster than Goku. I hope you all enjoy!

ANY USERS EXPERIENCING ANY ISSUES, PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK!

WARNING:Upon flashing this "ROM" your warranty will be voided. The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky and you should not attempt anything if you don’t know exactly what you are doing.

If any damage occurs to you or your device, including a bricked, non-functional device, I will not be held liable. I will however provide assistance in the form of forum posts, private messages, e-mails, or other type requests to alleviate any issues you may have.

1. Use ODIN to flash to a stock rom. (1-Clicks available in stickie'd post in the Android Dev forum). KK4 Should be fine, rooted kernel (w/o bootloaders)

2. Boot into recovery using 3-button method

3. Provided you have the update.zip for CWM on your sdcard... Reinstall Update.zip

4. Again select Reinstall Update.zip

5. In Clockwork Mod, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset

6. select Wipe Cache

7. Install ROM.

8. Your phone will probably reboot during installation and bootloop.

9. Use 3 button method again and hold it until it boots back into recovery

10. Install rom again

11. Enjoy

Best practice is to always start from stock. If you're like me, start at step 2, skip to 5, proceed.

1) Boot into recovery

2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

3) Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache

4) Reinstall ROM

5) Advanced --> Fix Permissions

6) Reboot

Now test the same feature/app that was previously causing issues. If you still receive a crash, please send a screenshot/message with the crash, as well as any log files that may be associated. I hate to say this, but assume ANY ISSUES are caused by a missed step, or improperly flashed ROM and start from step 1. Otherwise we will have too many people asking for help without trying any remedies themselves. :)

You must've caught the version that was having updater-script issues, I've updated the link since then. I took it down when I started to get reports of that issue. Try the new link and let me know. It's the same one I've got flashed onto my phone.

I don't use gmail, typically.. so let me see if i can replicate, I've got to download the app.
[Captivate Android Development] Arisenhavok91:
Gmail downloaded, opened, sync'd.. a few test e-mails sent and received.. no crashes thus far. I've also been able to use the widget.

Where exactly are you experiencing the issue?

Have you tried to clear data/cache from the g-mail app?

Did you try to redownload the app as well?

How is this version different from this one? Seems similar with added features and all...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513693
[Captivate Android Development] Arisenhavok91:
In many ways it's similar. Part of the reason that I ported a rom and work on it rather than using other's is because I dislike waiting for a fix to come out in.. 3 days.. 6 days.. sometimes a week or two. I find an issue, or have an issue reported, I work on it until it's fixed. I have family members that use the same rom(s) I use, it's easier to fix issues if it's a rom I ported, rather than waiting on others. Also, I'm pretty new to this, so I havn't done too awful much yet.

Just gonna have to wait and see I guess.
[Captivate Android Development] nygfan760:
Talked with Arisenhavok91, and this rom is NYGFan approved, if that means anything :laugh:

[Captivate Android Development] CheesyNutz:

[Captivate Android Development] :
Unfortunately, until I can figure out how to correctly port from the Nexus S to the captivate, I will have to do some portception... basically, port it to the I9000, then port to the Captivate from there.

I updated to v2.1 until I have a chance to do this. Going to start it tonight. :) 2.8.10 is on it's way...
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
This should make for a fun Sunday, see what happens with this old carried over theme from Gingerbread MIUI haha! When I flashed NYGFAN's miui the old theme failed to install. However I was able to update to WeUI with the theme intact, it’s very weird. The theme is only some ancient battery icons.
[Captivate Android Development] :
So basically, you're gonna see if it works with my rom? :P
[Captivate Android Development] :
Can't get the 2.8.10 rom to boot yet.

This is frustrating -.- lol

Updates soon, been working on this the past 8 and a half hours -.-

Haha, it's quite different to port from the Nexus S instead of the Galaxy S.

Maybe ask nygfan or look into some threads.

Very nice, flashed over weui2 and to my surprise that theme carried over no problem. Hello miui v2.8.3!

-Edit, for some reason my calendar sync seems broken. This was present on weui2 as well. Under accounts and sync, 'Sync com.android.calendar' fails to sync. And yes I format /system before installing the rom. Did not factory reset.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Factory reset should fix your issue. Factory resetting is preferred over just a system wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] sephhi:
Don't care...have a nitrality backup. I live life on the edge. Lemme test it out for ya.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Further testing shows MY EFS data was corrupted. I've got it back to normal as I had a backup, however, RIL is broken. Baseband doesn't show.. seems to be miscommunication between RIL/Modem...

Not sure how other Nexus S Porters have overcome this yet, so I'm looking into it. :)

Will update later.. I'll be working on this at work, so hopefully I'll get something more tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yeah it's weird, I'll see if I can help out.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yeah sure, NYG, if you want drop me an e-mail at kenoperry@gmail.com and I'll send you over the romzip I've got, not sure if it'll help in trying to figure out what got broken.

:)
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I ended up returning to Weui2 simply because its been working almost smoothly for me. When I get more time I will install this from a master clear stock without apps. For me that takes 2-3 hours because I go the long way and make redundtant backups.

One thing, the clock being in the center of the status bar..I'd prefer having control of that (I did not fully check into all the settings). Also the google logo..nice touch but some people may prefer to disable that.
[Captivate Android Development] :
The settings that you mention (clock, google logo) are all controlled via the Miui Control Panel app (ICS control) And aren't there by default (Which is why I said factory reset :) )

Aaaand... by factory reset I am implying a Factory Reset via CWM, not Odin.

Is this the wifi search eating battery? Any other suggestions?
