[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonepalm:
Hello All. I've searched the forum and have seen many threads about tethering, but I can't find the answer to my specific question...or maybe I'm blind and am just missing it, in which case, I apologize for posting something that has already been answered.

Anyway, I want to tether with my verizon S3 but of course I don't want to pay extra for data I pay for already, nor do I want to root my device, at least not yet. I've heard many things that verizon can't charge for tethering if you have a tiered plan, but when I try to use the built in mobile hotspot it says I am not subscribed and to call verizon. Am I missing something? Didn't there used to be a built in wifi tethering functionality into android?

More specifically, I want to tether my Nexus 10.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Have you tried clockworkmod tether? Never used it but he does great work and it doesn't require root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nopi45:
Foxfi from the market.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonepalm:
I have not. Does that need root? I assume it is a paid app. As long as the price is reasonable I don't mind. I'd prefer a free app though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonepalm:
I'd prefer to not root my phone right now. Also, I used to use FoxFi on my Bionic, yes I owned one of those, and it worked great. So I tried it on the S3 (no root) and I couldn't get the Nexus 10 to find the tethered wifi network I set up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
neither require root. clockwork does require to install a program on your comp, might not work for you. check out foxfi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonepalm:
Yeah problem with CWM tether is that I don't want it for the computer...want it for the Nexus 10 tablet. And FoxFi's network it creates can't be found by the Nexus 10 for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nopi45:
Yea Foxfi is no root need bro. Just keep playing with it I have had to mess around a few times with settings but always got it. I my first recommendation is keep security off for your first connection then after you connect try it with security.

I use it on my phone and my wife uses it on here locked down tiger than the Whitehouse razor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonepalm:
Yeah I realize FoxFi doesn't need root, but it won't connect with the tablet. I read somewhere it doesn't work well with Jelly Bean...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] The Apostle:
Not sure about JB but it works great on ICS and my VZW GSlll.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonepalm:

[HTC One X] noamsch6:
Is there a way to use the One X as a router?

One X connected to internet via Internet Pass-Through and the open Hotspot (without 3G connection).

Why I want this?

I have a PC with wired connection and no Wi-Fi (router is dead somehow) and untill I'll have another router I only have one outcoming internet connection and three computers...
[HTC One X] ExoticMe:
two words wifi hotspot ^^
[HTC One X] noamsch6:
LoL I'm not dumb...

It doesnt work, thats why I have posted that question...
[HTC One X] JonesWTF:
I think there is an option for USB pass through on CM. Not so sure about on a Sense based rom, though?
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
Just connect USB and where it say charge only or mass storage there's a option for internet pass through you carnt use WiFi and WiFi hotspot at the same time

Skydragon team
[HTC One X] noamsch6:
Again, I'm asking if its possible to use internet pass through and then transmit it via Hotspot. :P
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Yes you can.
[HTC One X] noamsch6:
With the default Hotspot and HTC's internet pass through?

Tried twice and it didn't work.
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
Like I said you can do it with USB but not hotspot if you use hotspot it will use 3g and you carnt connect to WiFi using WiFi hotspot but if you connect USB there's a option to use internet pass through wich will allow you to use you phone like a WiFi dongul

Skydragon team
[HTC One X] noamsch6:
OK I understand that is isn't possible as none of you got the idea of what I'm saying xD

Thanks for the comments and the will to help anyway, guess I should just buy a router... :P

*Mods you can lock now*
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Sorry, I'm mistaken. What DOES work is turning WiFi on the phone, then connecting the phone in Tether mode. Wouldn't really help you though cos it's the opposite of what you need >.<
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pball the second:
Last night my gf asked me "How do I turn media sounds on? Youtube and my games aren't working." All the volumes (notifications, system, media) are turned all the way up, and nothing. Notifications, ringtones, and alarms work just fine - definitely NOT a hardware issue; media only plays through the headphone jack though. That would be annoying but apparently media includes in-call volume...I can hear her but she can't hear me; she can use the phone on speaker or with an earbud stuck in one ear but it's not exactly practical. She wants to take it in to Verizon, but what little info I've been able to find on the Razr M specifically is showing it to be a software problem that just keeps happening and happening.

I've tried all the fixes I've found in the Maxx/HD/general Razr forums; wiping the cache, killing Play Music, unrolling Play Music updates, putting phones in and taking them out, pretty much everything possible without rooting and trying a sound routing app. We have an available upgrade on a third line but I'm trying to hold that one out for the springtime Big Thing, any help here would be AWESOME!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
If it's still stock and under warranty, I'd just take it into Verizon. I mean, if they'll replace it, then why not?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pball the second:
I figured it was probably a software issue (the speaker works fine, all other sounds play, just not media) and she was getting a little neurotic about even the few days for an exchange...so I SBF'ed back to 4.0.4 and wham, fixed nothing.

The new one will be here tomorrow.
[Nokia Lumia 920] jeromel:
I have an unlocked Rogers Lumia 920 on the Telus network. I have recently noticed that the store now contains the Telus apps and now removes the Rogers apps. Anyone else notice this kind of change?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ComputerGeek:
After rebooting the Note 2 and making the first call, the device sets the earpiece volume to a higher setting than what it shows in settings. If the setting is set to the lowest volume there is no way to lower it but the phone outputs at a much higher volume. This occurs only during the first call after restart. According to the forums, the Sprint version of the phone has the same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrfuzzie23:
i haven't experienced that yet however it seems like the lowest volume other than mute on the notification volumes is as loud as my nexus was on highest..
[Galaxy Note II General] alphasports:
Just thought I'd post my thoughts on the Note II that I just bought yesterday.

Since happily dumping my iphone 4 I've been running a Galaxy Nexus on stock JB 4.2.1. Love the Nexus but I was pretty keen on the big form factor of the Note II but couldn't wrap my mind around the steep price, so for laughs ordered a Nexus 7 3G, figuring that between the 2 Nexus devices I'd have everything covered. Didn't really work out that way.

Nexus 7 is now for sale after a week, device is nice but I had to admit that I really don't have much regular need for a tablet, even a 3G one. So I bit the bullet and bought a Note II and have spent most of this morning configuring it...man is all that Samsung bloatware a mess! Not to mention the carrier's crap that I`ll have to root and remove. I am a gadget-a-holic and pretty good technically but this thing is pretty overwhelming in some ways.

A few observations/questions, feel free to comment:

- In the main app drawer for instance, the apps do not seem to auto-sort alphabetically like the do on my GNex...is there a sort setting for this? A pretty handy feature when you have a gazillion apps

- when I set a wallpaper background on the GNex, the background moves as you switch pages; on the Note the BG remains fixed...a setting?

- no matter how hard I fight it, I can't make apps group together by dropping one on top of the other, the lower one just keeps squirting out of the way...what am I doing wrong?

All together an impressive device though. While I'm a gadget freak I HATE collecting devices, I always get rid of inventory on Kijiji while it still has sale-ability, but in this case I think the GNex will be sticking around for at least a month or so or until I'm convinced the big Note II can work as a single phone. If not I'll keep both, because I don't see getting rid of the Note even if it is used most of the time as the tablet I said I didn't need...;)

Now just need to figure out how to root this thing and install a nice clean rom.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II General] alphasports:
Followup post: The original apps are in fact alpha-sorted in the drawer, but all add-ons are appended to the end of the drawer list/pages, in the order they were installed. Will reboot to see if they re-sort.

1. Go to app drawer, press left sencor button and choose "view type" and you can customize grid sorting

2. only with modded TW you can make wallpaper scrolling

3. Firstly, u need create folder and then go to app drawer, press left sencor button, click edit, choose folder and press to add apps to that folder
[Galaxy Note II General] alphasports:
Will do, thanks!

How about Contacts sorting by Last Name?!

[Galaxy Note II General] EdgaBimbam:
go to contacts, settings and you will find
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:

To skip all the carrier junk I bought mine from Amazon the international version

No carrier blotware

No waiting for carrier to approve updates

Works almost anywhere on almost all networks

No having to unlock it if you need a different carrier

[Galaxy Note II General] alphasports:
Thanks for the replies.

- When I go to Contacts I do not have a Settings command available (unlike the 3 little dots in the Nexus JB)

- When I go to the App Drawer to sort apps, and press the left sensor, I get Google+ launching, not a sort menu

Sorry for the noob ?s

Got it figured out thanks

Heck yeah, that's why I did it. I don't think the OP realizes this forum section is for the N7100/7105, which are the non-carrier branded, international versions.

Not if you live in a so called "international" country and buy one from a local carrier, like I did :p

If you want your apps together in a folder like on the iphone just go to your home screen and hit menu and create folder and drop your apps on there just like the iphone

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TightLines:
Been lurking for awhile so thanks for all of the great info to date.

I'm having problems with live wallpapers constantly crashing and having my background (home and lock) reset to the default feather image. I tried a search and could not find a related thread.

This is consistently happening with downloaded wallpapers Flurry Pro Live Wallpaper and Plasma Tree. Wallpaper crashes when in various applications and becomes apparent once returning to the home or lock screens. I suspected that my Handcent pop-up notifications were causing it and found a thread elsewhere that said to disable the "blur background" effect but this has not stopped the problem. Verrrry frustrating, any help?

I haven't had any problems with stock as well as having a 3rd party one (galaxy amoled). Do you have the ripple effect enabled?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Televinken:
I've got the very same problem with my unrooted stock GN2.

It seems that LWP downloaded & installed directly from Play Store works,

while the ones I download to my '"SD card" from "other sources", & installed

from within my phone, doesn't. Sometimes they just won't start at all, sometimes

I can configure the LWP but it then revert back to the stock "feathers" background.

This is quite annoying, and I cannot seem to find any solution. So now we are two...

Regards :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TightLines:
Ripple effect is disabled.

The live wallpapers crash whether I have it set as a wallpaper or lock screen / wallpaper.

It's bad enough that I have to reset the live wallpaper at least once a day and now no longer bother.

Anyone else using this with handcent popup notifications?

Ding ding ding that's it but mine happen despite where the wallpapers came from (all downloaded directly onto phone).

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eve_brea:
word of note, i have busybox installed.

I have around 300 apps on my phone, as i have a nice, big SD card. due to several re-flashes i have the apps as .apk files

but the phone itself only has 2 gigs or so of space for apps.. not enough >.>

i tried to do :

busybox install *.apk /data/app

but that filled the phone memory very quickly.

I need to install them directly to SDcard.

Where? i moved an app to SD manually and i don't see it on the SD anywhere.

someone give me a hand?

Problem when I reboot my phone the internal SD is not available only the external micro-SD. I remove the micro-SD and then I can see my internal SD. I am beginning to think my Infuse is on it's last leg. Good thing I can upgrade on 1st January. :)

I have tried Wipe Cache Partition and Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache. No help. This is the second time, thought I had it fixed by returning to stock then back to CM10 4.2 all was well then I saw a post about the new camera that I didn't have yet so I flashed it. Now I am back to SD problem.

If anyone has an idea what is causing this, other than me. ;) I would greatly appreciate it.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix or advise on new phone to get?

Thank you!

Also I noticed that the date time stamp on microSD says 31 Dec 69

The above is the same with it working or with it not so thats not the problem and it doesn't help to solve it.

I have found that as long as I don't have to restart my phone when it is working it will remain working. If I think I have a reason to reboot I must make sure I really want to do this.

As the work to get it straight involves remove micro-SD, wipe/format reinstall of ROM and GApps and then restore enough to edit build.prop for tweaking lockscreen powerdown install micro-SD then powerup to restore rest of the apps.

If anyone knows what might be causing this I would really appreciate it. Even if you could point me to the log file to look at that might give me a clue that would be very nice.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Skwerl23:
If it works with out microsd just don't use one. 14 gigs is plenty. Otherwise maybe format the microsd? Or try a full stock wipe and see if it all comes back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:
cpio I believe means copy in and out.

Since phone works without micro-sd and fails with it try a new micro sd or a different rom.

As for the date you mentioned, it is not unusual to find files with dates that are years in the past. Upgrade? If you are staying with AT&T pick 3-5 phones from their website that based on specs and price meet you needs and spend some hands on time with each. No one can make a better decision as to your next phone than you. Well, maybe bigjoe could... :p :D

USB Storage unmounts?

your post is the closest example to the SAME problem i am having so i will see if we are experiencing the same thing.

Im running Scott's 4.2.1 Unofficial CM10 - 12/02 build and ever since the 11/30 build, my internal ~14GB sdcard (called USB Storage when i look under system settings / storage) will not mount. the 2GB "internal" Storage and my 64GB External are always visible.

whats strange, is that when i reboot into recovery, i can still get all the data in this "sdcard" partition, it just will not mount when booted.

When i 1st boot from a new flash, its there, but after a reboot (and every reboot after that) it shows for a split-second, then disappears.

I come into this thread and seen it may have something to do with my External SD, i tried it removing the External SD, rebooted, and sure enough, it brought back my internal SD.

i shut down, re-inserted my External SD and powered up, and the USB Storage did NOT disappear but i cant leave well enough alone, so I rebooted 1 more time... POOF... USB Storage GONE....

:(

How could the External SD have such an impact on the mounting of the Internal SD?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:
In Scott's thread he mentions that external (micro) sd should be removed before flashing the rom... don't know if that is the case, just sayin'. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] quasimotto:
I have flashed & reflashed with and without, no change. I have reformatted the External SD, no change.

I think i have isolated the issue to the physical presense if the External SD, but this is not an issue with the 11/4 build. I just go back to 4.1.2 till the next release

Downgrading back to 11/04 now

I am downgrading to see if that fixes it will let you know. Did it work for you?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Skwerl23:
Some one had a point. How is it not available? No media can be seen. Or is it non existent in root explorer. PR under system settings> storage.

If its the first it might be a .nomedia file in the root directory.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] swub1:
After downgrading back to 4.1.2 of CM10 my problem goes away. Another thing that I noticed is that the default APN's are now editable and I can delete them as well. While on 4.2 the only thing I could do was create a new one and set it to be the one in use. I guess part of the system is read only. Trying to save us from messing something up.

swub1
[Samsung Infuse 4G] swub1:
When first told to remove external micro sd prior to flash I did just that. Later I supposed that I had nothing to loose so I tried leaving it in. Didn't see anything go wrong so I thought it was just a cover my a$$ thing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] quasimotto:
Well for me, not available means not mounted & unmounable, the sdcard directory can be seen, but it empty through root explorer.

the "other way in" through Storage/Sdcard0 shows the dame, nothing, REMOVE the external SD, the internal SD (called USB Storage in settings/storage) Mounts in reboot. .nomedia is not the issue as when the External SD is present, i can play media (from the External SD, but the camera and other apps that rely on the internal SD for storage, can not function.

When i reboot into recovery, i can see and access all the files (typically where the flashable files reside when i drag them over from my PC) both internal and external, and when i reboot, the MOMENT the unlock screen appears i dash over to settings/storage and the internal drive appears, but collapses in a less then a second. (as unmounted)

yes, returning to the 11/4 (4.1.2) ROM I do not experience this issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] swub1:
I tried scott.hart.bti 4.2.1 12/11

Went up to try 4.2.1 12/11 - No difference - The only thing I was able to do in this one was delete unused APN and edit save new one.

Wish I knew how to program and spot the differences in the code somewhere. I'd really like to stay on 4.2.1 but without my micro-SD it seems like a waste.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] reynaim:
I have not had issues with 12/12, thought I'd share my process: wipe data/factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik (advanced), format system (mounts and storage), install ROM, wipe dalvik, install Scott's gapps, reboot. I also don't auto restore apps. There are still compatibility issues with some apps and 4.2
