[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] VeEuzUKY:
I just bought a 8.9, to upgrade my venerable original galaxy tab 7 that's been working flawless for the past couple years. One of the things I love about the original galaxy tab is that its basically a big phone. I prefer that layout to a tab layout where everything is small and many elements misplaced or ridiculousness small. Changing DPI on the 8.9 really doesn't solve the problem and it makes it incompatible with app's download with Google Play and other probelms.

Basically id like to get the 8.9 working with a phone UI, not tablet UI. I read a while ago somewhere that switching between phone and tablet modes in ICS is very easy, simply editing the build.pro and removing the lcd density line altogether, and instead using the line:

ro.build.characteristics=tablet

-or-

ro.build.characteristics=phone

I'm on a ICS build on my 8.9 but that doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas or suggestions would be super appreciated:):):)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] giant22000:
Just saw your post I was searching for answers for this myself. Simply change your LCD density to 240. Make sure to have something like LMT Gesture installed as you loose your navbar. This worked with the latest CM9 for me.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] VeEuzUKY:
Thanks for the reply.. Ive set the DPI to 200.. most elements seems better though I had to do several reboots after I changed the DPI till everything worked well.. specially LauncherPro that got all messed up for the first reboots (I use it as an alternative to TouchWiz that is horrible). Ive been using Button Savior App which is decent. Compared to my Galaxy Tab 7, the 200 DPI setting I have not is still not as right. So, UR suggestion is to up it a notch to 240, correct? Ill give it a try!! Thanks again:)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] giant22000:
Not sure if you experience any lag from button savior but I strongly recommend LMT. Yup, 240 is right! 240 makes it just like a big phone.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Also be careful if your on a stock ROM as it may crash certain elements of touchwiz.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] VeEuzUKY:
OK. ill give it a try. I cant find LMT for Android anywhere, all searches come up as an old app fr Windows Mobile with the same name.Can you send me a link for LMT's app or market download so I can give it a try? Thanks again!!:)

Recently switched to this phone and I use the tethering only on my nexus 7 but recently got blocked. It happened during a ROM switching. Any workarounds?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] djcody:
This work for tethering to android tablets. Use titanium backup, freezing tethering manager and you ready to go. Don't work with windows laptop, i don't try yet with linux system. Of course you need root the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] tthoma:
Try Foxfi - installed it last night and it worked great.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] eleon:
Disco Roboto

Would this work with the Galaxy S Blaze...? Oh, just realized that we are in the GSB questions, so I guess it should work...

(meanwhile back at the ranch)

Errrrr! She's Alive!!! Alive!!! Foxfi worked on GSB rooted, cwd, or (whatever its called) recovery, with tweak 1.6.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
An app called Wifi Tether works as well. Completely free. Just choose Samsung Galaxy S2 as the device profile.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] browniespeaks:
Tried all tethering apps i can. WIFI tether is not working for me. I know foxfi has had some workarounds for other devices so I'm hoping its a behind the scenes fix.

With "Wifi Tether" and changing device profile to "Galaxy S2" Wifi tether does not work

super user is granted then via the log i get

Loading WIFI driver: Done

Stopping AP... failed

Stopping WifI interface... Failed

Reloading Firmware... Failed

Starting AP interface... Failed

Configuring AP... Failed

Starting AP... Failed

Configuring IP-Address... Failed

Enabling Nat Rules... Failed

Enabling IP Forwarding... DONE

Tethering now running... DONE

Then the app appears to be working but can not be seen as a hot spot.

Now to the heart of my question. I've been going threw it with Tmobile. I have been paying for the 10GB data plan since they throttled me the first time last year but this week they switched me to the new unlimited data plan. Now i've been asking over and over again what's the difference if one costs so much more. There answer is "we are phasing out the old metered plans" everything i read says they are blocking tethering. Are any of you on that unlimited plan an able to get tether to work? Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Try this: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Let me know how it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] browniespeaks:
Well devil is in the detail. The new unlimited plans (as opposed to the classic unlimited plans) do not support tethering. I'm sure there will be a work around in the future, but for now that seems to be why none of the normal apps were working as they are for others. They have also done away with the 2GB plans that support tethering. so your options are 5GB and 10GB.

With the appropriate plan FOXFI still does not work in wifi mode but "WIFI Tether" works fine as described above.

"WIFI Tether" seems to only work when tethering is enabled on service plan. Took me 3 hours on the phone and 3 service changes to confirm this. Would love to know a work around though so i can save $30/ month
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodzx67:
You can go into tb and freeze (I think) tethering provision. This worked for me..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
That is strange as I just renewed my plan a few months ago and got the 2GB unlimited. I tether just fine. My friend's iPod used my wifi tonight no problem. I used the built in wifi tethering on cm10 though. I used this wifi tether app before I moved to this phone. What firmware you on? Stock?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] browniespeaks:
I'm on CM10 current nightly build. If your on the old 2 gig plan from 2 months ago you could have tethering. They told me for the last few days that its not available any longer. Not in the web page any longer either
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Yea I am going on my second term with them as well so it could be my previous 2gb unlimited from 2 years ago. Well... lets try and get past it old Tmo. I'll post you a few things, and lets try.

PdaNet 14 day trial to test, there is an option to hide tether as well.

WiFi Hotspot & USB Tethering Another free/paid version thing....

Wireless Tether Older version of the earlier one I posted. Free open source.

WiFi Tether (new one) Try this one again and change the device profile settings to Galaxy 2, generic ICS/JB (wlan0), and generic ICS/JB (wlan1) and see if it makes a difference.

Does it have to be WiFi tethering? Could you USB tether? Also I was reading up around and it seems if you change your PC's user agent to android you don't get denied at all. Check here and here to see how it works and a few addons to help if you still have issues. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] danTM:
false equivalence

WIFI tether =/= tethering

Everyone who has an android phone should be(read: is) able to tether internet through wifi connection

.

What everyone WANTS to do is tether through 4G T Mobile unlimited data.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Did you read any posts here? We all know he wants to tether his 4g, OP is asking alternatives to getting around the Tmo block. Tmo has ways of blocking tethers now and likes to use it. We are trying to find if these apps above trigger the block or if using an android user agent helps. BTW, OP did these work for you? Try the user agent switching on the pc's side and lmk please. Also, does USB tethering work for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] putney:
I found this on another thread, I can confirm it works as intended.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] amujee:
I did this too on my stock, unrooted Blaze (disabled the Tethering Provisioning app) and the built-in mobile hotspot works fine.

I don't understand why third party apps are necessary. Does mobile hotspot not work on custom roms like CM10?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] danTM:
Ahhh sorry for the interjection then. I see what you're saying here. Much thanks for the assistance. Kept on reading stuff about wifi tethering not working, and then I saw you post about your success.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Cirkustanz:
Yeah, this is pretty useful to me. I have been having a lot of downtime at work lately and sometimes I want to read an article or go to a site that I wouldn't from my work computer. I can do it on my ebook now and use the larger screen, and it's also a lot more incognito than using the phone.

Tethering Work Around

Im using easy Tether Pro with the Truly Unlimited Plan (No Throttling) You can't get tethering on this plan but it is truly unlimited. Here is a way around the Tether Block. If you use windows you will have to change the string in the browser. If your a Linux User you just instal easytether to your phone and download the Linux Package from the Website. Next turn on easy tether on, on your device, then open a Terminal and type "easytether connect" you can use Chrome, Chromium and Firefox without changing the string.....I mean Android is a somewhat distro of Linux. Your carrier will think you are using chrome from the device, they will never tell the difference. Instructions to do so are on Easytether's Website. This is the best way not have to worry about throttling and be able to tether at pretty fast speeds (Faster than the phones browser) . Plus it was cheaper than my 5gig I was on ($30 now instead of $35 for 5gb)

Has anyone found away to do this? I have read all post and have tried all fixs dosnt work for me. Please just piint me in the right direction. Really didnt want to chenge from stock ROM.My phone is rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] hristopelov:
It is very easy...

Root your phone,

Freeze/Delete Tethering manager and the Carier IQ bloatware in Titanium Backup, (Carrier IQ is masked as settings, click on it and read the app name, youll see "Carrier IQ" in it, they are about 2-3 of those elements all masked as "Settings"

After you do all that, the native "Hot Spot" app will work.

Use Chrome, Firefox or Safary while browsing, not IE.

Hope that helps

Hello XDA Members - I'm trying to root/install a custom ROM on my HTC Inspire 4g, but pretty much every piece of software in the HTC Inspire subforum contains either dead links or the software doesn't work anymore.

My wife is having the same problem on hers.. It'll go as far as downloading it and complete the download, but it never ever updates the phone. And she doesn't look forward to a factory reset
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Try finding the file on the internal SD and deleting it, then try to update again. Keep in mind that you can only check for updates once a day, so move the date on the phone ahead a day or 2 in order to check again.

Also, if you are not already aware, be warned that installing the latest 2.20 AT&T firmware plugs the root exploit, and therefore will render you unable to root, unlock the bootloader, and installing custom ROMs and other flashed mods (until a new root method is found). So if you have any interest in doing those things, don't update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alrekjulson:
Hi guys,

I seem to have a weird problem on my HTC Sensation. I have been noticing that when the phone switches from Wifi to 'H', the mobile data stops working. I can see the signal bars so no problems with making calls, text etc. I have tried putting phone into airplane more, resetting mobile data and a couple of apps that reset the mobile data stack. None of that has worked. The only way I have made it work is by restarting the phone - quite frustrating. The mobile data then starts working. It has only happened when 'H' is displayed as the mobile data.

Any help here would be much appreciated.

thanks!

I've had my evo for a couple of days now, and I made a rookie mistake. In the excitement over my new phone, I accepted an update. I realized what I did as soon as I did it. From what I've seen, it looks like I can't unlock my bootloader for now, but I was wondering if I can still root. For using root apps, overclocking, etc. any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
You can still unlock the bootloader and flash ROMs, the only difference is that the kernel must be flashed separately. Check the regawmod thread for a one click utility to unlock and root

Samsung innovates.... apple immitates .

Anyway.... what are your opinions on the madder

Sent from my SGH-T989 on Jelly Bean goodness!
[General Topics] RushAOZ:
Apple doesn't imitate. Gotta correct you on that. There's nothing out there like the iPhone aesthetically. This is one of the reasons so many sheep buy it. The thing looks sleek and elegant and the only other manufacturers that come close in build quality is Nokia and HTC. I personally think its an awesome phone. Its Apple themselves as a company and iOS where everything goes downhill. I would buy an iPhone if I could slap Jelly Bean on it.
[General Topics] bkaltec:
Complete disappointment. I'm not an applefone fan but I thought they would come out strong with something innovative. Its just a lewd attempt to draw revenue IMO. The sgs3 kicks its ass. The sgs2 is still a competitor.
[General Topics] RushAOZ:
TBH I'm sick and tired of every new Android phone released being compared to the IPhone. All people are doing are giving the damn thing more publicity than it already has. The reason the iPhone sells so much is because humans always want more of the same. A tried and true formula if you will. Look at Call of Duty. Millions buy it every year because it maintains the same formula. Add a little here and there and viola. Everyone buys it because its the "thing to have". We here on XDA are the minority. We care about things that your average joe could careless about. They don't even care for the technical specifications. All they know is that there's a new iPhone out with a bigger screen. Simple people like simple things. Apple knows how to capitalize on this. Its sales 101. You never talk about the product itself but the benefits you would gain from it.
[General Topics] SlasheI2:
I think people should be more open minded and accept that other people can have a difference of opinion. Some people aren't as technically inclined as many users here on XDA and like their phone to be simple and work. Yes android is more powerful and has more customization options but some people don't want to get all worked up about their phones. They just want to use them and not worry about spending hours working on them.

I personally don't have giant hands and having to readjust my grip to press the screen can get annoying. I have an ipod touch 4g and it fits perfectly in my hand. Plus the retina screen is beautiful to look at. I want to see it on the iphone 5 which would look even better.

I love my gs2 and android but that doesn't give me the right to call other human beings sheeps just because of the type of phone they're using. I just let them do what they do and mind my own business.

It's a stupid thing to think less of someone just because of the type of phone they're using. Stuff like that is similar to what leads to racism.
[General Topics] skaroger867:
My exact feelings. I expected it to have something we've never seen before...
[General Topics] RushAOZ:
Like what?? You want it to make you coffee??? Let me turn the tables and use your own expectations against you. What are you expecting from the GS4 other than a better CPU, more ram, better camera, and new OS?? Coz that's exactly what what was upgraded in the iPhone... let's be real here people. If you're going to judge the thing atleast judge it fairly. Like I said my only gripe against the iPhone is iOS and its limitations. If someone were to somehow port android to an iPhone 5 I'd probably be all over it. The truth of the matter is the iPhone 5 has more changes and improvements when compared to the iPhone 4s than the changes that were made between the GSIII and GSII. Let's all be real here. We don't hate the iPhone. We hate Apple themselves, their business practices and their followers.
