no joy here. :(

i've tried everything i can think of to get the built-in wifi hotspot to work, without success. i can connect, but then there is no internet access. on my vista laptop the connection properties read: "access: local only".

i've also tried tethering my blackberry playbook, with similar (non-) results.

i was beginning to think that EE might be detecting tethering and had started to block it, but i managed to connect OK today using the same sim in my old HTC Hd2 winMO 6.5 phone and the wmwifirouter tethering app.

Make sure you have the consumer broadband APN assigned. Search Google for the settings as I'm too lazing to paste mine! You should find them using google and then tethering will work. I use it regularly connecting my TF101.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theabsurdman:
thanks for the replies guys.

i looked at settings/ more... mobile networks/ access point names.

there was no "Consumer Broadband" APN defined, so i created one entering values derived from here:

http://www.burnedouthippy.com/2011/...onnection-problem-on-the-htc-desireorange-uk/

'Select Consumer Broadband

Change the following settings, taking care to make sure that you copy these details exactly (including capital or lowercase lettering)…

APN from consumerbroadband to orangeinternet

Username from <Not set> to Orange

Password from <Not set> to Multimedia

Authentication type should be set to CHAP.

Press your Menu button, tap “Save”

Now in theory, you should be able to create a hotspot and connect to the internet'

didn't work for me, alas!

any other ideas?

Anybody else on EE (orange) and tethering successfully? Anybody?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjatt:
I have had no success either. I tried calling orange but the guy was convinced I needed LG software like Kies to be able to set it up so gave me the number for LG. I think I'll call back and speak to someone else.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theabsurdman:
success!

problem solved!

i am now tethering my laptop and blackberry playbook to my N4 on EE (orange) UK!

All that was necessary was to phone Orange and have them switch it on; simple as that. i spoke to a chap in India, told him which handset i had, and he then activated data tethering "with a 1GB cap".

i received a "updated sevices" text on my phone moments later, switched off and on again, and it worked thereafter.

there was no charge for this. my contract is a 1 month sim-only dolphin 20 with 1GB data and i would presume the tethering comes out of this allowance (although the chap on the phone said that this was a separate thing ??)

anyway, for anybody else, it's nothing to do with APN settings etc. you need to phone orange and ask for it to be activated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blewk:
I'm on ee or orange UK and my hotspot works, you have to go into a ee store and activate tethering through them, check your data plan on your my orange account like the attached image and see if it says tethering in the info underneath the bar :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theabsurdman:
thanks. however i just checked my orange online account and, unless it's taking ages to update (not unknown for orange), there is nothing new listed; certainly nothing about tethering, yet my tethering now works where it didn't before.

so it looks like it doesn't need to be indicated on the account for it to be activated.

I am on Orange. I changed to the N4 from my galaxy S2. My tethering used to work on the S2 (thought I had to change the APN settings to make it work) but hasn't worked at all on the N4. I know it could be due to it being a different device but it doesn't make much sense.

Not a Nexus4 but similar problem: Sony Xperia T won't tether on EE/Orange.

Recently changed from a MOT MS2 running CM10 (no problem tethering) to the Sony running 4.1.2 and found tethering no longer works. Worked around it in 2 steps:

1) added New APN (orangeinternet) per thread instructions; previous APN was name="internet" APN="everywhere"

2) installed FoxFi app as the tethering host. (Android's built in tether didn't work)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuuits:
Hello! So I hear you want to find a ROM that a) has great battery life b) makes your phone look like the GS3 or Nexus 4 c) makes you breakfast or d) all of the above. Well sadly I cannot tell you what the "best ROM" is because I am not you. I do not do what you do on an every day basis and, likewise, I do not use my phone for the same reasons that you do. Of course, I can help you find a ROM, but in the end it boils down to you. This guide will show you the ins and outs of being a ROM, er, consumer?

Battery life? is a common problem among smartphone owners. The good news is that with the right settings and almost any custom ROM, you will be able to make your battery last (almost?) a day. You can turn your brightness down and turn off GPS and Wifi when not using those features. That will most definitely conserve your battery life. But, overall, battery life depends on your usage of the phone.

Finding a preferred version of Android may help you in your hunt for ROMs. You may like ICS for its stability. You may like Jellybean 4.2 for it's bleeding-edge new features (or you may hate it for that reason). Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone to try different versions of Android.

Touchwiz or Stock Android? is another important question to ask. Really, this question is all about aesthetics and maybe a couple of features. Touchwiz is what ships with your Galaxy S II and the GS2's newest TW update would be 4.1 (which means it's essentially up to date). Touchwiz is developed by Samsung and can be modified but not built from source. Stock Android is what is on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 and can be built from source, allowing faster updates for you.

Stability? If you are using your phone for daily use, you will want a Daily Driver, or stable ROM. These ROMs will allow you to use (almost) all of the features that came with your phone and more.

Now, for the million dollar question... What is the best ROM? There is no best ROM, silly! There are a variety of ROMs for a reason, and that reason is that every user is different. There will never be a right or wrong ROM or one that rises above the rest because it truly is a matter of preference.

How do I find the ROM that is best for me, then? You flash different things until you find something you love and something that works for your personal needs!

Perhaps I meant to say the most productive ROM. I plan on trying to build my own JB drivers after my device gets fixed by Samsung. A real learning curve for someone like me! What are your "favorite" ROMs?

I know all ROMs are unique, and have millions of variations. It's just the fact that some of their bugs are really, well, dangerous for us "n00b" users. I'd rather feel confident that the ROM I am flasing on my s2 will actually work, and not break or brick my phone. The pros (like extended battery life and stock ROM feel) are just those things that make custom ROMs amazing!

Sorry for the frequent posts. Perhaps the moderators will take r
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuuits:
Well currently I'm running PAC ROM. I like how I have it set up currently... it has a few bugs, but those usually only take place at boot. I've used Miui and Samsung JB before also... I've actually flashed most of the ROMs available for i777 (both built from source and ported).

Absolutely! That's why before trying out a ROM I personally will read the OP and user comments and whatnot. You always have to be careful of special instructions and bugs and things. The good thing about the GS2 is that it is almost virtually unbrickable (thanks to Odin/Heimdall). But it is always good to be careful when doing these things... From my experience flashing via CWM isn't really unsafe as long as you have a ROM AND kernel made for your phone. Kernels contain the recovery and vital files, so having a kernel made for the i777 is very important. Most i9100 ROMs will work on the i777 with tweaking (swapping out kernel, keylayout files, etc.) but you should NEVER flash a kernel or (not ported) ROM not made for our phone because that's when things can potentially (and probably will) get sticky.

I've been flashing ROMs since December 2011 or so... I've never hardbricked (read: rendered unusable) a device through ROM flashing in CWM. I've softbricked many times however (bootloop, etc.) but those were easily recoverable through either my kernel's recovery or Odin. Am I saying to not be careful? No, of course not. But my point is you've got to take some sort of risk if you want that better battery life or stock feel. It's up to you to decide whether or not that risk is worth it.

Of course, if you have any questions not answered in a development thread, you should ask them in that thread. I'm sure someone would be happy to help you as long as you have used the search feature. (: I'm also here as a user/flashaholic/porter/modder if you need any help but I can't guarantee I'll have an answer for you.

Sorry if I didn't answer your question in a satisfactory way and sorry if I made this too long, haha.

Shostock 3 looks pretty awesome! Once I get my SGH-S730m unlocked, I will see to try Shostock 3 (and eventually the PAC ROM if all goes well) on my S2. I always want a back-up phone just in case.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] chris_m128:
I don't pretend to be an expert on this, hopefully someone with a little more knowledge than me will chime in, but the factory cable when automatically start your kindle fire in fastboot mode, it will be able to be read by your pc, the only trouble you might run in is with drivers, but it's nothing that can't be fixed. Then i would go over to hashcode's rom and follow step by step his instructions (fastboot method) for installing bootloader and then cm10.1. But like i said, someone with more information than me will hopefully post on here
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] hillconnor13:
alright I had that problem before sounds stupid but turn on the kindle before attaching the cable make sure the drivers are installed I have them if you need them and what system is running on your pc? and before all of that you need to find your self someone with backed up fastboot cables.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] haiderxabbas:
I installed the drivers but i'm not sure whether they are the right ones coz they don't seem to work now.. i'm running windows 7 x64 and it used to detect the device before it got bricked but now it doesn't do anything..

I searched all over the market today but can't seem to find a factory cable is it okay if i try to do the home made Fastboot cable thing? or should i order one online instead..
