[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Okay, after a lot of digging, I finally figured out what I did. I take no credit for this, I found it on here in reply to a thread somewhere. I can't remember where as I usually view this site on my cell phone.

sudo kextunload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext

from a terminal. I forget if you have to reboot or not.

This will disable tethering, but you can now see your device via adb.

To renable tethering once you're done debugging, use

sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext

This is for EasyTether only, but I am sure that there could be another type of app that would do the same thing? If you could isolate the app, it should be as easy as replacing the EasyTether part of the command and running that. Good luck, I personally know how aggravating that things like this can be.
[HTC One S] Ready2Mosh:
T mobile us, rooted unlocked, never put custom Rom on it. I used to be able to tether even when screen shut off, now once the screen shuts off the data stops until I turn the screen back on. Any ideas how to fix this besides leaving screen on?
[HTC One S] horr1blek1tten:
Not yet.
[HTC One S] Ready2Mosh:
Bummer. :(
[HTC One S] Ready2Mosh:
This actually had me thinking, since google play music is running before the screen shuts off and it constantly draws data, maybe thats why it stays active even when the screen is off. So I am going to have to test this theory by loading a huge webpage on the tethered device to see if you need a constant demand for data for tethering to keep working, I suppose I could just a youtube video.

Edit: My theory panned out and may lead to a fix. This is what I did

1) Turn on FoxFi an make sure screen doesn't time out 2} Tether my Asus Infinity to it making sure the phone screen doesn't time out 3) Start a long youtube video using the youtube app, I tried a 7 minute one. 4) Turn screen off on the phone and I was able to watch the whole video while tethered to my one s

My conclusion is if there is a constant data draw the tether will keep working even when screen is off. So they have enabled a rapid cutoff of wifi if your screen shuts off with no data draw, if there is a draw the data will keep flowing.

Test it out for yourself and share your results, off to try netflix.

Edit 2: Further testing confirms this on my device, This time I used netflix streamed dark of the moon and it continued to allow the tether to work. I dont want to burn my months data out testing this so we need a few more people to try this.
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
I have the EU rom but I'm experiencing the same issue.

I'm using Airdroid and it stops responding as soon as the screen shuts off. I can confirm that Ready2Mosh is right, since if I turn on the web radio and then shut off the screen Airdroid works flawlessly.

I have never noticed this before 4.0.4 so I'd guess the bug wasn't there. This is a major bug that has to be fixed soon by HTC.

What about 3g connection? Does it shut off too?
[HTC One S] TheArtiszan:
Does it do it if you just use the built in tethering app?

I don't think it is really a bug with android per se vs design

that is sleeping the app as backgrounded since screen is off and not being over riden anymore.
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
You're right. Tethering isn't put to sleep for me.

I can confirm the issue with airdroid and other apps though. I'm going to open a new thread in order not to hijack this one.
[HTC One S] TheArtiszan:
I tried airdroid and that works fine for me though.
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
Really?? Thanks for the info.
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
I opened up terminal emulator, chose menu>activate wake lock and voilà! Everything's working fine for me now!

You can try this out too, who knows!
[HTC One S] Ready2Mosh:
Nope data still stops when screen goes to sleep, sucks.
[HTC One S] beccadevin:
Go to settings tap WiFi hit menu advanced keep WiFi on during sleep set it to always let me know if this works :banghead:
[HTC One S] Ready2Mosh:
Nope, still stops.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj4201998:
Hello,

Will a Factory Reset remove root? Also, how would you use Voodo to resotre root if it is removed?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Factory reset will not remove the su binary which is what's used to get root, but if you are on jb, it could break root permission, meaning you'd still have the binary but apps might lose the ability to call it. I like to call that state, half-rooted. In that case even a restore of root via ota root keeper doesn't seem to help. This was not true in all cases.

Bottom line, if you lose it, you can get it back, but to do so for certain, you'll need to unlock the bootloader and flash it in. Again, that's assuming you are on jb. If you are on ICS, a root keeper restore will fix you.
[HTC Sensation] underground1st:
Hi,

I have HTC SENSATION XE running stock ROM (ICS wits SENSE).

my problem is like that:

I've installed Avast! Mobile Security with Anti - Theft. I've chosen advanced installation of Anti - Theft feature and the program made a file UPDATE.ZIP to install later via bootloader.

I've already unlocked my htc (bootlader) following instructions from HTC and succeded.

When I enter recovery mode to use this "update.zip" file from root of SD card, program doesnt see the file, I even dont have an option to "install from SD"

I am new to Android, can You help me please in some simple steps?

PLZ
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
well you need custom recovery to install the zip

anyways you can do direct install of anti-theft application ...no need via recovery ..im using it too :)
[HTC Sensation] underground1st:
Sure, but then its easier for somebody to get rid of this feature.

How to install custom bootloader? If you have nearly the same phone, can you share some article link maybe? I dont want to destroy smth :)

Thanks a lot
[HTC Sensation] underground1st:
* i meant "custom recovery"
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
1.Using both ways the application will be installed at same place(/system/app) ...only for some nand-protected devices flashing via recovery is required

2.if you still want to install the update.zip via recovery ..go to this thread and do step #5

3. once done ..open the 4EXT app again -> power menu -> reboot to recovery

4.then install the update.zip

reboot and njoy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tirionfive:
I finally got pissed enough at my rezound, and called Verizon up and demanded a device switch. They are sending me a Gnex. Did I make a bad choice? It was comparable to the rezound in price and release date.

Also, on the rezound Sense 3.6 messages, you have an option to do group MMS. It creates a different thread and groups all the people involved in the conversation. It is done over MMS.

My question is: Does the Gnex have this? If not, Will I be able to download, install and run the vzmessages app from the play store to enable it? I really hate vzmessages, but it doesn't look like there is much of an alternative.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xredjokerx:
Good switch-- I love my nexus way more besides from the camera.

I use gosms for group MMS. It works and is way prettier and less laggy than vzwmessages
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tirionfive:
I will admit the rezound had a kick-ass camera. But that was one of the only redeeming features it had.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00319:
As I've posted before, half my screen currently does not function. It's quite hard for me to actually get much done on my phone, and the home screen/app drawer has been a huge annoyance for me. Is there a rom where I can go landscape, even at the home screen /app drawer?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
It's not the rom that decides whether the launcher can go into landscape, it's the launcher itself. I'd say find a better launcher, I personally like Holo Launcher (which supports landscape just fine even in the app drawer)

I have an LG P506 from AT&T that had issues with the boot and I sent it to repair service and they repair it but now the phone says that is an LG P509 from T-Mobile, the repair guy told me that this was the only ROM that worked on the phone since they tried a lot of ROMs but none worked, the issue is that the 3G now doesn't work due to the BaseBand of the T-Mobile Rom I think, is there a way to flash it back to AT&T Rom without bricking it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] post-mortem:
Have you tried flashing old baseband patch? Possibly KDZ flasher could get you back to stock, but I would expect the service center to try that 1st.

They alredy tried with the stock ROM but they told me that it did not work, I can install custom ROMs I have AOKP Jelly Bean for P500 but there is no way to get 3G signal, I have tried CM9 for P506 but it did not work, I already tried with old and new BB and KDZ, well it was hardbricked with KDZ in first place that's I sent it to repair.

[Motorola Droid 3] jkcsho:
First off, I've done all the usual stuff. Install drivers, reboot both devices (multiple times), un-install and re install drivers. Im on Windows 7 x64 Home Premium. When I plug in the device everything will install except "Motorola Communication Interface". Under device manager/unknown/motorola communication interface/properties under the general tab in the device status window it says, "Reinstall the drivers for this device. (Code 18). To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver." Under the driver tab it shows the provider as motorola ver. 5.0.0.0. Any help would be appreciated. I have repeated this process several times already with the same result. Because of this I cannot get radiocomm to communicate with the phone. PdaNet also wont work.

Hi guys,

I'm in a bit of a problem here. I just RECENTLY bought a defender case for the S3. I had the Commuter case for while but I wanted more protection. After a while it just started to become loose so I was going to send a complain in to Otterbox to send me a new one because it wasn't even that it was old. But, one day I got fed up and took it off and put it on my desk at school.. next thing you know it was gone. Now, I'm in a situation wheere I don't wanna spend another 60-70 dollars an another one THAT WAS DEFECTED.. If anyone with a defender case message me.. I need pictures to verify that I own one. I'm willing to donate if anyone can help me for this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k0admunk33:
Someone installed a custom ROM on it, looks like it's Cyanogenmod or something based off Cyanogenmod. Since it is not Touchwiz-based, it won't have the Samsung apps like SVoice that depend on the Touchwiz framework. If you want to get those apps, you can either Odin back to stock or install one of the custom Touchwiz ROMs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
Hi all

My internal SD is about to filled up while my Ext_SD still has more than 30Gb available out of 64Gb. I have some very big file in the internal SD such as Co-Pilot navigation's map and several games' files like Asphalt 6 & 7 ect ... Those are really big though

I wonder if there is a way to move all of those big files to the Ext-SD? I've heard of something like partitioning the Ext-SD card but don't know how to do it properly so I would really appreciates any instruction / guidance from you experts in the forum

Thanks a lot
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Partitioning the external sd is a good idea but not necessary for our phones. I would move pictures and music over the external sd and see if that gives you anymore room.

You can try clearing out some space using the Amaze Memory Clear app from the market or doing it manually from Settings>Storage scroll down till you find Make More Space from the internal storage. You can clear out HTC app caches and temp data and other things it ask you. You'll be surprised how much crap gets saved.
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
I appreciates your replied and suggestion. Yes I did all that and all of my multi-media files were always on the external SD - even my Titanium backup folder were set on the external but, still, those games from GameLoft and off-line maps that really took all the spaces.

Thank you BTW

Have you tried using app2sd I use it to free up space on my internel. Take some of the other apps or those itself and transfer them to the ext
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
Thanks for your input. App2SD only moved app but not it's data. Apps are not a problem in our phone since we have 2,64Gb (internal) partitioned out from the internal SD Card (16Gb) just for apps. More than enough.

It's the data from apps that took spaces and sadly we can not move 'em to the ext-SD. I've also tried the Directory Bind but it's for the SGS2 and it won't works on our phone

Perhaps some of our clever Devs might be interesting of porting the app to our phone someday and that would be great .

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semparo:
So I've searched around, cant find any straight answer. Also only found old, un-maintained threads.

Anyways heres the problem, When I call people most of the time they cant hear me, but I can hear them, This only happens on anything thats not a stock rom, I'd stick with a stock rom, but they seem sluggish, and hog battery life compared to most custom roms w/kernals. The first thing I thought of was a faulty phone(this was befor the newer phone with unlocked bootloaders) Now I got the same phone(same model, different phone) with unlocked bootloaders. But Im running into the same issue. I've reviewed my APN settings, got the set to what they need to be. The only thing I can come to a conclusion to is the Baseband, I cant seem to find a baseband that works on my current setup, which is CM9 with a freexperia kernal. The kernal i found through the installation instructs for the cm9. So anyone got any input on this? I'd really appreciate some help.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTDarthYoda:
I've been playing with this for the past week now. I have the same issue.

From what I've gathered it's a baseband issue. I've gotta find the link back but you need to flash the correct stock baseband to get everything working. I'll list exactly what I did to get mine working.

EDIT:

Ok found the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1759544

What I did was flash R800i 4.0.2.A.0.58 EnhancedV2 firmware which I found here

http://www.mediafire.com/?s93d99wisca54es

Then I flashed only the Baseband from here, only 2 boxes should be checked. See below. Only the FTF file. You can flash the other file if you want but it seems to be working fine without it.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27760326/Baseband -36 with libs for Xperia PLAY.rar

Next flash your Kernel. I'm currently using DoomKernel and I'm gonna try out LuPuSv5-GB.

Then go Ahead and flash your rom. I haven't tested many roms yet but thus far I've had no issues with True Ancestor.

In the next few days I'm going to try NTX rom. Then I'm gonna try out Jelly Bean, CM10, with this to see if it works. Thus far I've only tested this with TA so test what you want.

Edit: Seems to be working on everything I try!
