[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
I read thru all the below comments.. This new law does not make it legal to unlock your device. It puts the control into the hands of your devices carrier as to rather you can unlock it or not. Now the carriers all just need to do like at&t has been firm on.Just say NO unlocked devices allowed on there Network.. This is a step back word in my opinion. I hear about people all the time jail breaking there i phone or ipad to side load pirated apps. They say i tunes charge to much for them. But the android community STRONGLY screams to everyone to pay the developers for the apps. Android apps are reasonable priced as well. This is due to the developer having more control and giving less money to google.. I think this will be the way into the future.To make devices and phones even more disposable.. I so hope google stands up and puts this crap away.

If xda follows this new law. They will have to take down every hack for every tablet and get permission from phone carriers to post the ability to unlock and root phones on there networks.. NEXUS Phones tied to a carrier follows the same laws .

if i read incorrectly please explain to me..
[Nexus 7 General] najaboy:
Not quite correct. This just means that carrier unlocking is no longer exempted from the DMCA. In other words, OEMs can sue folks that post a narrow scope of exploits. This pretty much is a moot point considering that the only OEM that was doing this was Apple and the Jesus Phone is no longer exclusive to big blue. As there never was an exemption specific to tablets, nothing there has changed. DMCA exemptions are reviewed and revised every three years.

There's a lot of hystronics and FUD going on about this, driven partly by a desire to generate traffic to certain sites I'm sure. In the end, it is just as I said before... much ado about nothing. The sky is not any closer to falling than it was twelve months ago.

[Nexus 7 General] doctorow:
My question is, according to the new Record, is it "just" illegal for US citizens to apply tools that could root their tablet, or is it already illegal to provide information and perhaps the tools here?

[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
Are you planning on using someone else's software on it and on someone else's network? No? OK, you're right.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
With regards to a WiFi only tablet, then that's pretty much a yes. I'm using it on my network using open source operating system.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
People should probably relax... because tablets weren't directly mentioned, doesn't imply that unlocking and rooting one is suddenly illegal.
[Nexus 7 General] najaboy:
Actually, quite the opposite, since DMCA exemptions must be explicitly granted by the LoC. That being said, we should shy away from terms such as legal and illegal because we are dealing with primarily civil matters for purposes of this discussion.

As far as tablets are concerned, there has been no change whatsoever. Rooting tablets has always been a DMCA violation if copyrighted code is used because tabs have never been specifically exempted. Once again, I will reiterate that nothing has changed for us. Things are as they were yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and so on and so forth.

Hello there,

I was wondering if there is a way to use a 3G dongle with my Asus in order to have internet access when i don't have a wifi connection.

If i can't use a dongle could you please offer me a solution to a matter extremely important to me and many others as internet on the go.

Thank you in advance,
[Asus Transformer TF700] dayofthedaleks:
Perhaps you should consider tethering to a phone via WiFi or Bluetooth for internet access.

I use a G1 Dream for tethering via Bluetooth. Bluetooth uses less power than WiFi.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bjtheone:
Assuming you have a smartphone, tethering is the way to go. You could mcguiver up something with the sub dongle a rocket stick (sub cell modem) but tethering is way easier and you are already paying for that data plan. Did exactly that tonight and was getting over 18 Mbps down.

[Asus Transformer TF700] tupo05:
Dude,

1- root your tab

2- install UMTS manager from the market

Enjoy.

It works great here. But i think you have to use a Huwei 3g stick. Mine is E173

Let me know if it works for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I use a 3G Huawei E586 mifi device which works perfectly. :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] dinothenino:
Thank you all for your kind replies:o, the easiest method of them all seems to be the tethering.

I have a smart phone, and i will try tonight the aforementioned method to see if it is working.

Do i have to enable something else besides bluetooth on my phone before i make a connection with my tablet?

Something that i didn't understand is the way that you proposed me with the 3G dongle.

Do i have to buy my own 3G dongle of this particular brand ( Huwei ) in order to make it work

with the usb slot on my keyboard?:(

Again thank you all, you have been very helpful and you saved me from a lot of trouble,

thumbs up for your help to this thread:good:

My kindest regards,
[Asus Transformer TF700] tupo05:
Hi

I'm not sure about the other brands. But Huwei works fine. If you want to tether from your smart phone better use the wifi tethering in stead of bluetooth.

Good luck
[Asus Transformer TF700] Aviator47:
Dino

If your smart phone will not "tether" easily, you can try the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi R205. It will provide Wifi access to the internet to any device you might have.

I'm too new to the game to be allowed to post a link. Got to vodaphone DOT gr. Click eshop, then usb sticks.

Other mobile services here in Greece may have something similar.

It's simple as can be.

[Asus Transformer TF700] dinothenino:
Thank you all again for your replies,

I have just tested and it works like a charm the tethering method through my mobile, but as i have read in a couple of posts up

i was suggested to use wifi tethering in stead of bluetooth.Why is that? What are the pros and cons of one method over the other?:confused:

My kind regards,
[Asus Transformer TF700] dayofthedaleks:
Using WiFi or Bluetooth each have their pros and cons.

Security - Bluetooth has encryption built in. Vulnerabilities have been identified in Bluetooth's encryption, but even with today's hardware it would take a few hours for a machine to crunch the numbers required to crack a Bluetooth session. With WiFi tethering, assuming you are using WPA or WPA2 on the connection, the encryption would be stronger and thus more secure. WEP encryption would not be any more secure than Bluetooth but would still discourage casual snooping. I'm not sure if something like Cyanogenmod's built-in tethering offers WPA, but I know applications like FoxFi do. Advantage on security - WiFi

Speed - If you've got a 3.5g or 4g connection, your tethering connection could be a speed bottleneck. Bluetooth is really only capable of around 2 Mbps (that's megaBITs per second, not bytes). That's still faster than a T1 wired connection or the same speed as a euro E1. I'd consider that plenty fast for one machine browsing but if you want to support a number of machines through tethering you might notice a slowdown. WiFi gives you 11Mbps and maybe up to 54Mbps. Advantage on speed - WiFi

Distance - Bluetooth is only useful to a maximum of around 10 meters. WiFi could go as far as 100 meters. Both protocols are susceptible to interference from just about any nearby electronic device and neither does a good job of going through walls or other obstructions. Advantage on distance - WiFi

Power Consumption - In some use cases, Bluetooth's speed and distance limitations are drawbacks. But those two things combined add up to Bluetooth using much less energy to operate than WiFi. On two mobile devices, longer battery life could be important. During WiFi tethering, batteries tend to discharge so quickly that they release more heat than normal and many tethering apps monitor the battery's temperature so it doesn't cook. Repeated overheating can shorten battery life. Advantage on battery life - Bluetooth

Bluetooth tethering is of course useless for devices that don't have Bluetooth. I'd love to be able to tether my Nook Touch, but my battered old G1 has a broken WiFi board and the Nook only uses WiFi. Other than that, I haven't found any disadvantages to using Bluetooth for tethering.

Hope this clears things up some.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tupo05:
Bt: saves battery, slower speed and can connect only one device.

Wifi: battery consumption, higher speed and can connect up to 5 devices.

I hope that helps

3G dongle + CROMIX 5.1.1

Hi, I've been searching for the same problem on XDA and found your post, I am currently on 4.2.1 CROMIX 5.1.1 and I have the same issue regarding the Mock-WiFi, it does not appear anymore as a WiFi and therefore I can't use my 3g dongle fully.... I can't login into skype, or any other apps that require internet, although I can browse internet, play market... (Actually I'm writting from the 3G Internet now)..

So you said you had fixed it by changing the DNS to dynamic! What exactly have you changed it to ? (I can't leave it blank, and am using the 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 DNS settings)...

Thank you, expecting an answer asap!

Hi

For some reason my phone does not boot after inserting the password. It is stuck at the green/black android man screen. Suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
Why would you encrypt your device anyway? Unless your hiding something top secret from a specific government, theirs really no need for it. If you can get into recovery try wiping data/factory reset. If that doesn't work then your going to have to flash back to stock.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentaLrz:
I wiped/reset everything and yet its still encrypted. I have my reasons for encryption :angel:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
Well if your cheating on your wife or girlfriend stop it! :p else theirs really no need to encrypt your device, their are some 100,000,000,000,000,000 different combinations for a pin code, if you've already wiped data then your gonna have to flash back to stock.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentaLrz:
already tried flashing, still keeping the encryption and i'm not cheating lol.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
Well if you've tried flashing, wiping data/factory reset then I dunno what else to suggest....but seriously, if the encryption is gonna cause this trouble all the time, you'd be better off with a pin like everyone else.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentaLrz:
True, although I just realized i didn't try flashing with Odin to stock so i'll go download the stock rom now and report back. Silly me ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
Numpty lol, also while your their *whispering - ditch the encryption* lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentaLrz:
I got AES based encryption on numerous partitions on my HDD. I use it to encrypt my browser storage and other stuff so I figured encrypting my phone would make sense too, just the internal and not the SD-Card. The performance from encrypting was terrible! I figured for such a powerful phone it would handle it well on the fly, NOPE.

Sluggish. Or at least it was with Omega.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
Nothing a pin can't handle bud, but flash LG8 (that way you can go to CM10 or any AOSP rom straight away, as well as Samsung based roms i.e omega, hyperlight)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentaLrz:
Fixed. Going back to stock brought the encryption PW back up but this time it was accepted and bypassed the non loading screen. Once accessed all the old apps were there so I can backup and reflash back to Omega without much data loss. The encryption must really lock down the partition.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phynix7:

[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
Not much you can do besides deleting stuff. Check if you have a recovery partition. One of my friends had a netbook that came with windows 7 professional installed on a 16gb SSD. There was a hidden 5gb recovery partition, so that with windows 7 left less than a gig of free space. When I deleted it and expanded the windows 7 partition it worked out fine.
[Windows 8 General] DomCowell:
Alright :)

No recovery partition unfortunately. Getting to the stage where it just tells me the files can not go haha I am up to 17.2gb though (from 6gb) - so I think I can push - will get it all back after anyway, as I don't intend to dual boot on one SSD..!
