i didn't want to start a new thread

so i've been able to tether to my ps3 , but it only seems to work on the 2.54 paranoid android rom with a vpn and wifi tether for root app. anytime i flash a new rom and try the same, it gives me a fail to start ap error and wont work. i've tried it with the new roms and even the newer kernels that support tethering, but it wont work. the tethering will work for my computer on windows and ubuntu, but not my ps3. i really want to move onto a newer rom,(carbon rom is buttery smooth on my phone)but not being able to tether to my ps3 is a deal breaker. does anybody here have a working set-up they could recommend on the newer roms?

sorry about the long post, wanted to give as much information as i could, and thank you for any information you can give me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WillieWonka1985:
Im sure this has already been brought to your attention. There is a good thread entitled "T-Mobile blocking Wi-Fi tether" don't know how to link it. Maybe im too lazy but you can find it in the s3 general section. Hope this helps nd good luck.

Tank you for your very hard work!

I would like see in all your roms the 2g/3g toggle..

I think that it is very useful for our battery...

Am I alone with this request?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III General] Fruktsallad:
No, I agree 100%. However, I think its unlikely that will happen. In the meantime, you can use a tool by a dev called the red baron here on xda to convert most any rom to a 2g/3g toggle compatible rom. Google and thou shalt find, it may be worth the extra hassle. :) Im using cm9 myself, which has the toggle built in from scratch.

Feel free to report how it goes. :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
I have the CM10 [skang jellybro] fascinate rom installed, and coming from a cm9 rom, all my apps didn't fit because they switched the partition around [making the app partition only 468MB, and the system partition 1.5 GB].

So anyway I had to move a lot of apps to the sdcard. So I just downloaded a newer version of my rom, and wiped cache/dalvik, nandroid backup, then I installed the new zip.

Then I rebooted, and it had to 'optimize' apps [create dalvik cache?] and after that finished...I only had about 15-20 apps show up in my app drawer. [I have probably around 40] So I clicked on Zedge, on my homescreen, and it said "App isn't installed." I then started to worry..:S I googled apps on sdcard disappearing.. and so I opened titanium backup, and under Batch operations, it said "Restore missing apps (6)," and they were 6 apps that I'd uninstalled but didn't delete the backup. so then I wasn't sure what to do next, because I did not create a fresh titanium backup prior to updating my rom [because I did a nandroid instead..] so then I went to Manage Apps, and then.. for some reason, all my apps showed up again! all the ones on my sdcard.

I tapped Zedge again on my homescreen, and it loaded up! So my question is, what happened? Why did my apps disappear, and then just show up again? was it loading titanium backup? or did the rom just scan the sdcard for apps?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crawshayi:
Sounds like it just messed up the media scan of the sdcard which I have heard happens from time to time... not sure if that's related to your issue, but now are all your apps installed or are you still missing some? Next time I would just reboot again and let it re-scan to see if it helps
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
ah.. yes they are all there, but I was just wondering why did they disappear, and then why did they just show up all of a sudden?

I guess if it is the media scan thing, that would explain it.

Hello fellow Gio owners!

I have this problem with my phone, it's running CyanogenMod 7.1 RC3.0. It takes FOREVER to fix my GPS position! Like 20-25minutes or so...

The thing is, I use this great app CardioTrainer when I go out running, but I only get a GPS fix when I'm done!

I don't think it has anything to do with the current ROM since even with stock ROM it was pretty much the same. I also installed this FasterFix app, that didn't help either...

Do you guys have the same problem? Any advice or solutions?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] :
try to make sure you can see the sky so it gets a better fix also have you tried turning gps on and off or maybe even a factory reset

if i helped please click the "Thanks" Button

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Perphide:
GPS very slow and inaccurate on Samsung Gio

I am using the stock rom (Andriod 2.3.6) and I also have problems with my GPS.

I've been searching these forums for a while now but most people talk about either Sygic navigation or about a non-stock rom.

I hope someone can help me out here.

At first I could not find a fix at all.

After starting up Google Maps I did find a fix quite fast (4 - 5 minutes while being indoors).

After that, other apps (Endomondo and Runkeeper) also where able to find a fix (only outdoors, not indoors).

And now suddenly the time to find a fix outdoors has been degrading from almost instantly to more then 10 minutes. Also the fix is highly inaccurate.

The effect of this: when I go out for run, the app Runkeeper is not able to track my route and speed/distance. Which is exactly why I use the GPS function of my Gio. I hope this problem is fixable or at least to make the GPS function better.

I tried:

- Starting Google Maps again - no effect

- Resetting phone - no effect

- Wipe cache partition - no effect

- Banging my head against the wall - sore forehead

- Crying while running - wet face

So.... I am out of ideas... anyone with experience and knowledge about this problem on these forums that could help me out or point me in the right direction?

I am willing to root my phone and to use a custom rom if necessary. But I have no idea which rom is completely functional and works best with GPS. Also I have never rooted a phone before.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] FlemishDroid:
The best rom for gps is CM7 from Phiexz. The latest update is from July 2012 so a little bit outdated but the gps fix is really good! You also can try CM7 from MMB team it's up to date and see if gps fix is the same as Phiexz rom. And I also change the gps.conf to my country. If you have CM7 let me know and I sent you mine gps.conf (with your language settings). Root your Gio is easy just flash an update.zip file in recovery. Then you need a custom recovery like cwm. Custom recovery is in ext4 format so you have to flash ext4 formatter before you flash the rom... it's also from Phiexz but when you choose CM7 from Phiexz you don't need ext4 formatter cause it's build in his CM7. ;)

This is what I use:

- px-recovery or cwm (custom recovery)

- cm7.2 from Phiexz (custom rom)

- adrenaline engine (tweaks script)

- change gps.conf

- cronmod int2ext+ (so now I have 600 mb intern memory) (script)

- modded hosts file (no ad anymore)

Edit: it's a long time ago when I went from stock to custom rom so I don't remember anymore I only know I did it with Odin on pc.

Edit 2: I think you can do it without Odin now. This is the installation guide from CM7 MMB team thread:

Installation: You need to be on (at least) a Stock Gingerbread ROM 2.3.* otherwise your device won't boot:

[*]Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.

[*] Reboot into Recovery (power+home key)

[*] Do a Nandroid backup!

[*] WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

[*] Install the ROM (go in recovery and choose install from zip)

[*] Optionally install the gapps (play store, ...) But if you use cm7 from phiexz you flash the rom in recovery and a menu appears where you can choose wich settings and apps you want to install. Really easy.

Nice link:

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-gio-s5660-root-68206/

The first thing you can try is to root your current stock rom and install an app that edit your gps.conf:

Root tweaker (change gps.conf + change host file)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.broodplank.roottweaker

FasterGPS (change ntp to your country + modded gps.conf)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps

i take it you set it to be in mass storage mode?

the hox goes into mtp mode i think - i couldn't get it to work with my tf300, same results that you got.

possibly to do with it mounting it as mtp device rather than just as a basic sd card
[HTC One X] plumb1e:
Yeah I selected mount as hard drive but no joy.

Do you or anyone have a workaround ?
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
i've had a quick look just now, this indicates that android should be able to - i haven't tried it since tf300 jb update, so maybe it works on that now.

what you need, is support on the xbox 360 to read the mtp device. supposedly ps3 and xbox both have support for it, but theres a lot of others having troubles with the galaxy nexus (mtp) as well.

you could try using dlna? that would do what you need.. i've used imediashare lite (can't remember if it was on hox though) a while ago with decent results.

or failing the dlna method, you could use a mhl cable to connect it directly to your tv to watch the videos.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
The Onex doesn't use mtp mode. It is mounted as a mass storage device so it should be recognisable

[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Nah the nexus 7 does.

Can clearly tell as with the n7 when plugged in shows as n7 in computer then within that is internal storage

Whereas the Onex once mounted is just listed like any other flash drive

It is weird why you can't get it to work though

I haven't personally tried with the 360 but when I have plugged it into my car head unit and mounted I have been able to navigate the storage and play music accordingly

Instead of making new threads etc, that goes sometimes whole offtopic, and it doesnt the right subject anymore, like you make a new thread to solve something and then someone knows the answer, but then the most of the peeps, ask in the thread what he created a new question so in my opinion is it kinda useless and its going nowhere, so you can every question you need asking here ;)

arc S Jelly Sandwish stock mail app

Noob, first post, yes I've seen the video, yes I've used the search tool.

Now my question, concerning this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1836993&page=205

Does the defaul/stock mail app works? I.E. can you refresh the combined inbox?

I'm asking this because a few weeks ago I installed the official 4.0.4, build 4.1.B.0.431, ICS (yes, its the latest Sony is officially providing me to this day) and I had to go back to Gingerbread because I couldn't refresh the combined mail box.

There just wasn't an option to do so, and since on that thread people are complaining about the WCDMA/GSM network bug and they are being told thats an inherited problem from the official ICS I'm wondering if the email suffered the same fate.

And I'm asking here because as a new user I cannot ask directly on that thread and this was the 2nd best place I found, I do apologize in advance if there is a better thread to ask this particular question.

Equalizers ain't working. The N7 player doesn't save the equalizer settings, but bass boost works. (Equalizer too as long as I don't leave the menu)

DSP Manager doesn't work at all it seems. I played around with all the settings but couldn't hear any difference.

Also, how do I remove accounts from sync using the HD 2.0.3Rom +mod?

Okay so I followed a tutorial for flashing the cyanogen mod 10 on arc s. I booted into clockworkmod recovery and so when I got to the "install zip from SD" step I queued up cyanogenmod and Google apps files to install, having wiped data and restored to factory settings. Once I began the installation of cyanogenmod after some time, it said " error, installation aborted" but went on to install the Google apps just fine. Upon rebooting my phone it was soft bricked, stuck on the Sony bootloop. I managed to restore it using flashtool if I remember, or something similar.

But before I try to flash a new ROM again does anybody have any ideas what may have caused the installation to abort? Possibly a bug on cyanogenmod, or a broken clockworkmod recovery? Please can someone tell why it failed? Thanks so much in advance.

Deleting bloatware // Free space

So I finally rooted my device as I am running out of space and wanted to delete some bloatware.

After rooting the phone I used Solid Explorer to go in to the System folder. In the system folder I marked the apps that I wanted to remove and chose to cut and paste them to the SD card (for backup reasons), The "backup folder" on my sdcard now is a little over 60 mb but nowhere near as much space as that has been freed on my phone memory (the ammount of free memory has increased with about 10 mb).

Now I'm wondering what happened to the remaining 50 mb? Did I go at it wrong when I moved the apk's to the SD card? Should I try and uninstall them somehow, could not find an option for that in Solid Explorer? Is Solid Explorer unable to complete the task, should I try something different such as Root Explorer? Were the apk's stored on the SD card to begin with and only hidden? Etc.

I tried rebooting my phone which is an Xperia Arc.

Someone help this noob out! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pren22:
Probably the app you are using isn't working correctly.To remove bloatware u can use Titanium backup it's free for removing,or you can use Root Explorer it's grate for this kind of things,bloatwares are in mnt/system/app/.

So what you have to do is backup apps you wan to delete,and then you go to system/app folder and tick which apps you wan to remove and that should do it.

There is a mod to increase internal storage from 380 mb to 420 mb, here is the link on how to do it : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529716 .

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King of Procrastinators:
I see. That's great to hear, I will give it a go. Thanks!

Since you say "when it was locked" does that mean you now have unlocked and using EXT4? Do you notice any difference in performance? Also, what phone do you have?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyoni:
No, I unlocked and continued using EXT2

About the performance, I noted that the test of benchmark gave me a higher number, maybe it's because the system thinks that I have more ram, I'm not sure

But it is really better than 500 MB of internal storage hahahahaha
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King of Procrastinators:
Thanks for the reply.

I have 1 more question. Since you unlocked your bootloader have you installed customs kernels? I have locked bootloader and installed Ultimate HD rom but I don't notice it any better than the stock sony rom. It still lags sometimes and isn't as smooth as I thought a custom rom would be.
