6.1 Tethering... Working now....

Hey guys! Yesterday I flashed EMBRYO 6.1 (all .zips in proper order.) I was using the latest leak, but wanted tethering, so I flashed 6.1... Tethering wasn't working at all... It would show up, I could connect to it, but couldn't do anything internet related...

After a lot of trial and error, I am pleased to report I have a solution for anyone else having this problem... Here is what I did. (Not sure if all steps are necessary or not.)

Using Titanium BU I froze the following apps : AllShare Service - AT&T Hot Spots - DirectShareManager - WiFi Direct - WiFi Direct Share

Next, in the Phone Dial *#638#

I clicked Tethering always off once, followed by Tethering always on twice... Ignore the message.. Now reboot and tethering is working great! :)

Still can't get the "WiFi Tether" app to work, but the stock one under settings is working great! FoxFi just uses the stock one for some reason, so no reason to use it... Example, when enabling FoxFi it changes the stock network to "FoxFi" instead of "skyrocketblablabla" and you see a notification icon for both foxfi and the stock tethering app. I'm sure its something to do with that "Mobile Hotspot" app that can't be removed...

Hope this helps anyone else having issues! :)

Has anyone had the problem where the touch screen doesn't work when an incoming call appears? For some reason I can no longer answer my phone. I will try to post a log cat.

Here is the catlog. I don't know what's going on but I need to be able to answer my phone lol. I did not make any changes prior to this happening. Usually when something goes wrong, it's because I have changed something or installed something but I have been running this rom for a week now unchanged.

i'm on 6.0 and i have an issue where ever since i flashed not all the time but most of the time if the phone goes to sleep or i turn off the power when its on anything but the home screen the phone will get stuck on that screen and i have to pull the battery to to reset anyone else have this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wilbarger:
If I were you, I would flash 6.1 and see if that fixes the problem. It corrected some incompatibilities I had and is running great. If it does not fix the problem, I would do a wipe per the op and flash from the beginning.

You'll be fine, just flash 6.1 on top of 6.0. Don't even need to clear caches unless you want to which won't hurt either.

Thanks; I had turned on show battery in notification before realizing that the clear button was there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gospeedgo:
I did a clean install to 6.1 and I'm wondering if anyone else is having an issue with alarms.

When my phone is plugged into the charger, the alarm goes off, but then snoozes itself immediately. Then after whatever duration the snooze is set to (default 5 minutes in my case), it goes off again, but this time it doesn't snooze itself.

If no snooze is set, then it just turns itself off so quickly that I usually won't hear it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wilbarger:
I may try again. When I got the first notice, I pleaded stupid and that worked, but still got a stern warning. I don't really need to tether that often, so it is not a big deal to me.

Anyone else not get amazing battery on this ROM? On WiFi all day I'll get 9 hours uptime and 2 1/2 hours screen on with nexus extended battery, lowest screen brightness, under clocked 192-1.35 with location services off and maps uninstalled. The device is so much slower and laggier compared to aosp too so I don't understand what's going on here.. any ideas? Should I format all storages and reflash?

I'm a long time reader of XDA but I'm fairly certain that this is the first time I've ever really needed to post as most of my questions are answered by others. This time I can't find any answers so I have to post.

Here is my situation: I've backed up all of my data with Titanium Backup Pro, I do this regularly. I was running CM9 and everything worked beautifully well and all of the apps that I wanted to be were saved on my external micro SD card. Then I decided to upgrade to the new CM10 for one reason or another so I did a backup with TB then wiped my phone, installed Gingerbread, and then installed CM10 (I guess I had to, the current CM9 wouldn't allow me to flash CM10 for one reason or another).

The installation all went well but then when doing the restore with TB I realized that it was restoring everything to my phone memory and not to the external SD. It then stopped restoring when it ran out of space on the phone. Now I have data on both my external (that wasn't wiped so the info is still there) and on my phone. When I try to move any app to the external SD as I once did, instead of sending it to the micro SD card, it sends it to an internal mounted drive called ASEC (or at least as far as I can tell). Basically the phone ignores the fact that I have an external card and it won't let me move apps there. Being put off by this I went through the steps of restoring CM9 but not through a Nandroid backup. I did a full factory wipe and just reinstalled it. I didn't think to make a nandroid because it was backed up with TB. It may have been stupid but there's nothing I can do about it now.

Now with CM9 installed I'm having the exact same problem I had with CM10 and I'm confused as hell. Why doesn't it want to link my apps to the external data that's already there? Shouldn't TB remember the directory's and point the apps in that direction? I can understand why it would be confused with CM10 because the file naming structure was different (it was Sdcard1 or something like that instead of external_SD) but now I'm completely lost after reinstalling CM9. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? When I try to move any apps to the SD card it just puts them in the same ASEC folder. Any help is certainly appreciated.

Hey guys!

This is not a question or a demand about any sort of ETA of cyanogenmod.

I am just very curious about the progress that is happening is all, not because of impatience, but more because I would like to have some understanding of what has been accomplished and what is still in the way. I have been lurking on the freenode but there isnt much you can find out there. I dont want to take devs away from working, but if someone could just do a little write up about whats happening and progress, I think a lot of people, myself included would enjoy it!

I know not to ask for etas of any sort (i have been lurking on xda since i had a g1) so if this is disrespectful in some way Im sorry. Just curious about what you guys are doing over there.

Thanks for all the hard work, and again, if its too much to write about it, thats fine.:D

If you want the global firmware, follow this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/

It will wipe out your rom, recovery, etc so back up your phone first. Once you're done you can re-unlock your bootloader, flash your custom recovery and restore your rom/re-flash your boot.img.
[HTC Rezound] facted:
Will installing this RUU install the default rezound ROM and leave my phone fully functional? I will unlock bootloader / custom recovery and all re-flash my own rom at some point, but I want to see how long this will all take. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It returns the phone to out of the box stock basically but will update all the firmware to the latest. You have to go through the whole unlock/root/recovery process again.

As long as you saved your unlock token from before, it's a piece of cake to re-do it all..

Trying to root and install CM10. On CM's wiki it says to Place the libusb-1.0.0.dylib library from the zip inside /opt/local/lib on the machine...I've researched and played with this all day, and I have no clue what they are asking me to do. I am pretty sure that's where my error is. When handshaking with Loke it fails to respond. Using Heimdall on a mac.

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slavestate:
Heimdall is very flaky on the Mac. Try completely removing Kies and see if that helps. Thats what got it working for me the last time I used it. Now I just boot into my windows partition and use Odin. It never fails.

And btw - there is no /opt directory on the Mac unless youve installed Darwinports or made it yourself. Even still you would have to add it to your $ PATH. You could move it to /local/lib if your comfy with unix commands. I dont remember having to do anything like that though but its been awhile.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adrenaline82:
Already removed Kies, that was the first problem. Was saying no device connected for download mode beforehand. I have parallels and may just download odin and find other instructions to do it through windows. Not sure if it's Heimdall being flaky or me just not understanding what CM means by placing that file in the library.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adrenaline82:
That would make sense on why I can't find nor understand the whole placing it in the /opt directory thing
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slavestate:
Yeah opt=optional. Its just another directory you can put executables in to keep them separate from the system and users own /bin, /lib, etc. Port apps like Darwinports installs its stuff to /opt and Fink uses /sw. Same function but different locations.

I think I tried Odin using Parallels/Win 7 (that was before I just boot camped it) and I think it worked. Just gotta install the samsung usb drivers.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NedDasty:
So I hate this feature, but I'm also a bit curious as to how it works. If you scroll to your "messages" bit clicking the top-right icon, you get a list of your friends. Some of them have green dots, which indicates that they either 1. don't use the Android app, or 2. are browsing from a web browser. The remaining ones either have nothing (offline) or they have a number indicating how long ago they were last active.

The number, however, is a bit misleading, but I'm not completely sure how it works. If a user is currently using Facebook on their phone, a "1m" will be displayed. This "1m" remains there, I believe, until 10 minutes after the user closes Facebook--but I'm not completely sure. This also means that, when you see someone is at "2m," that really means they were active 11 minutes ago.

What I'm not 100% sure about is...does this number update when they send a message, or simply browse their newsfeed? Has anybody here run any serious tests to determine what these numbers mean?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cejot88:
I've studied it a little :angel:

Usually you see:

persons who are online with the green dots

can be differentiated in Web and Mobil, which means, that they are browsing Facebook with Browser or Facebook App/Messenger App

If you see 1m there are some possibilities:

you are offline in Facebook Chat and the other one is online

the other person turned off his Chat

he/she is really idle since 1 minute

in the first two possibilities it could seem, that he/she is longer idle for 1m, but he/she isn't really idle.

Persons just having a phone displayed, weren't seen for a longer time (how long isn't clear its about some days, sometimes shorter). Maybe it has also something in common with having internet connection, but tried with phones offline mode and couldn't confirm that.

Persons with nothing or a grey dot (if this still exists) :

are offline and have no smartphone (or not in use)

are offline and disabled notifications for messeges

are not logged in the Facebook App (doesn't "work" ever - work because if you want to be seen as totally offline ;) )

Questions or corrections? :p

There are some situations where I would like my tablet to respond to pen input only. A good example of this would be the feature in Quill, although obviously without the added hand gestures.
