Tethering

I have wondered for a long time why it is that providers care about tethering. As I see it it's all usage which is good news for them. I am with Rogers in Canada and tethering comes enabled. When I tether my laptop my usage goes up. Why do they care?
[Networking] adelmundo:
Because all the major US carriers charge you to use your mobile device as a hotspot. By using free or third party apps to bypass the carrier's hotspot add-on, that's one less revenue stream the carrier can make.
[Networking] papabear:
When I got my S3, I couldn't tether. Even tho I have a grandfathered plan with hotspot. And NO way I am giving that up! I did not try a different rom but was rooted and used other wifi apps and no luck. However, my G2 and currntly SR and T989 both work just fine.

This file is not on the sdcard. It is in the /data folder.

I need to list the contents of the /data folder.

When I do a ls on the adb shell, it throws up a opendir failed permission denied error.

The device is rooted since I am able to see the SU application.

How do I go about copying the file from /data?

I do not know the name of the file. I attempted to copy the entire /data folder using an adb pull command, but that did not work.

I also installed ConnectBot successfully on my Kindle, but it won't list the contents of /data

Hello all, I'm hoping somebody will be able to help. I've got a desire HD on 3 UK (I haven't contacted them coz tech support is useless and I don't want them to know I'm on a custom rom), running LordClock's ICS 8.6.1, My data works fine on 3.5g but as soon as phone switches to 3g I get no data at all. I've tried various roms I've Googled for hours and found no solution. I've checked APNs and tried various versions found on web, I've tried changing the WCDMA preferred option in hidden menu, I've cleaned and reseated the sim, and tried turning airplane mode off and on The annoying thing is data has worked on 3g on Ice cold sandwich in the past, I think v7.3. I was wondering if it had anything to do with build prop and have changed and added various lines but with no success. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks will be given to anyone who contributes. Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
What do you mean by switching from 3G to 3.5G? There's only a toggle to switch between 2G and Automatic mode (2G/3G) in ICS right? How are you switching between the 2? Also what is this hidden menu where you switch to WCDMA preferred? (Just for my knowledge. I don't know about it). Does it work for you with different ROMs?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] major fecker:
Hi sashank, I meant just that when I lose a 3.5g signal and it automatically drops down to a 3g signal I'm not switching it myself, and if u go into the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* u get a hidden menu called Testing with gives u info bout network or battery, check it out, the WCDMA option is in Phone info.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zAlbee:
After about 4 months of being rock solid, my Transformer has started acting up this past week. After about a day of use, the homescreen will freeze up, stop responding to touch, and then have to be force-closed. After Launcher restarts, it will immediately crash again. During this crash cycle, I am unable to launch any new apps - however, I can switch between my already open apps using the "Recent Apps" button, no problem - they will even run perfectly for hours. But to launch new apps, I have to reboot. (NOTE: this is different than the well-known issue where the homescreen icons disappear, but swiping/touching still works. In my case, the icons and widgets are just "stuck" there.)

Things I have tried: Cold boot, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, change to static wallpaper. (problem still recurs)

I am using the same ROM/kernel/OC/UV settings that I always have (1.2 GHz, -25 mV on all).

I'm stumped. Anyone else see this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybin:
I have the same kind of issue since 3 days ago. Launcher crashing, no icons on desktop but can switch between empty desktop. "Recent Apps" available. Cold reboot helps but problem will recurs. Stock Asus ROM, Android 4.0.3, kernel 2.6.39.4.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zAlbee:
Hi slybin, yours is actually the more common issue - disappearing icons, but swipe/touch works. Mine is the opposite - the icons are visible, but swipe/touch does NOT work.

I'm guessing you are on stock kernel? Disappearing icons is fixed with Guevor's kernel, or possibly others.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
That's actually pretty interesting.

Thinking about it a bit it seems to work out in Moto's favor quite a bit. They'll update their newest phones and the people who are using their older phones will have incentive to get a newer model and thus give them more money.

HTC could do something like this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neontc:
I don't know that I'd buy another motorola, don't get me wrong, I love the phones, but the locked bootloader and slowness of updates kinda kills it for me. They're probably doing this to keep business from going elsewhere due to these problems.

thats not exactly hard to do since they have the line in there all "new and currently selling devices..."....doesn't cover stuff sold 1yr ago...so in that case HTC could easily cover this as the ONE series as a whole should be able to get it....ie they could say it and NOT upgrade the EVO3D and not have to pay 100bux as the evo3d isn't being sold anymore brand new since its EOL at sprint...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] the_hustleman:
HTC should do the same AS WELL AS make it mandatory that all their phones have removable batteries AND make them last all day because NONE of the current crop of phones has a battery that can last 24 hours. All the screen shots that show that much time are from people that don't really use the phone much at all.

Also a micro sd in addition to internal storage should have been mandatory

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
Over a day with over 3 hours of screen on time which included video streaming is pretty damn impressive considering how I was using a high brightness setting and how big the screen on this phone is.

You're expecting too much without showing any understanding of why it isn't easy to get a high end phone to last all day. It has high powered components that draw more power, as well as a bigger screen than most phones on the market. What we get from it is impressive and it isn't going to dramatically improve anytime soon, unless they start to include DROID RAZR MAXX sized batteries, which I doubt will happen soon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] the_hustleman:
I don't think i expect too much, just a battery that can last 24 hours with normal usage.

I couldn't even get 24 hours out of the raxr maxx although it came the closest.

Basically you're saying you get over a day while only using the phone for 3 hours. On a work day I'll do 4 hours just to and from work, then time during lunch and sporadic phone checks during the day and after so many hours of use, phone dies.

My galaxy s 3 had gotten me 17 hours once, but the phone was just sitting there for the most part.

I tested the standby time and just let it drain and got 3 days it of it, would have been more of i didn't send that text lol

I just want a better battery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
You're getting stuck on the concept that you're only "using" your phone for as long as the screen is on. Even when the screen is off, it's doing a lot of work.

With current battery technology paired with high powered phones, you just aren't going to get that full day with a ton of screen on use that you want. We all want that. It's just not really possible right now.

So ur saying that over 24hr time period you never sleep thus never have time to charge your phone??

If u don't own any of them then u likely don't fully know enough to have a justified opinion on them either....how did you conclude they don't last a day under use if you don't own one?....

And there are reasons to go non removable battery versus removable...

Sent from my Wolfpack EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] the_hustleman:
I concluded it because i tried the phones out. You know the whole 14 day thing.

Since i can't get a phone to last a whole day i figured I'd just go for the coolest, most advanced phone with a removable battery so i can switch it out so i got a galaxy s 3.

And what reasons are those?

To turn the phone into a paperweight when the battery dies until you find a charger?

To take a step back in phone hardware development?

I can come with better reasons to keep the battery removable

1. It doesn't last all day unless you're one of those people that don't use the phone much

2. You mess up a flash, pull the battery and keep it moving. No need to look for something to stick in the pin hole

3. Allows extended batteries

4. Allows more options for power requirements (e.g. Chinese batteries)

I myself stayed up 36 hours awhile back (for a very stupid bet) and managed to pull close to a day and a half on my phone.

So u don't sleep?....trying to figure out why you'd need 24hrs If u sleep bc sleeping and charging each night should put u round 18ish hours more likely, which is highly doable.

But if u have already moved onto the sgs3.... Why are you hanging out in here?...jw

Wanted to say that WiFi uses less battery. Also like to point out that the EVO LTE is head and shoulders above the og EVO in battery life. I would have to turn off all data, make minimal calls and texts, all the while juice defender would need to be on with a SBC kernel to have it last 3 days.

I've made it just about 3 with just juice defender and not even really trying to make it last with LTE EVO. Was working and didn't use my phone much during those few days. Also on stock and not AOSP/aokp.

Like I said before I burn through my battery. I still get great battery life. In fact I've already damaged my battery and still get great battery life
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Someone above mentioned battery life and "people who don't use phone that much". The company I work for has 9 LTE phones out in the field (road warriors). Some users are happy with battery life but 3 were happier with the EVO 4G + extended (3500mA) battery. These people consistently have over 2,000 minutes of talk time a month and push a lot of data for emails. They charge their phone multiple times a day with car chargers or while they are in an office for a bit. So they get by, but it is a hassle and something that took time to get in the habit of doing.

Overall the LTEs has been a hit but lack of actual LTE speeds (compared with having 4G in most of the cities they're in) and for some the extended battery have been the biggest complaints. I personally think the phone could have been a little thicker if they gave more battery life but I guess most people want small/sleek/sexy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
This is where I give companies like apple some credit, HTC had a poll and people picked slimmer phone rather then bigger battery, Apple tells customers what they want and it works lol There's no reason to not do the same with Android. Samsung is starting to do it in their latest commercials. Like the one with video overlay, that's a great example of telling your customers you want this phone
