[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenG:
If you have an old Nokia device, I've noticed that when they tether via JoikuSpot, they create ad-hoc networks. If this is the reason you want ad-hoc networks enabled (to tether), I guess this is a valid reason. To pair two devices together, that may become troublesome (I doubt it'll be working any time soon).

Tethering via ad-hoc is perfectly fine, I'll take a quick look at it for the Nook HD+, and I'll reply back with what I find; hopefully a solution. I'll try and take a look some time this Wednesday or weekend. :)

I've not fully tested it, but doesn't Cyanogenmod enable ad-hoc networks by default? So, I guess you could go down that route (of course, I do accept that CM10 isn't for everyone). :)

P.S. If I do, or anyone else enables ad-hoc networks on the Stock ROM, you'll need to be rooted, and with CWM (since you'll need to apply a .zip) to hopefully enable ad-hoc networks.

All the best.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngeloGomes:
Yes, you are 100% correct. I do have a Nokia and Joikuspot.

The other problem is that I am a complete newbie to android, cyanogenmod etc.

I have rooted my Nook HD, but I dont know if it is using cyanogenmod. I just purchased a microSD card that rooted and installed gapps..

Thank you for your help....
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Rooting stock does not add CyanogenMod. You must install that separately by installing it to a bootable SD.

I looked around and didn't see ad hoc in my CM10, and there's this: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/62183-ad-hoc-was-disabled-in-cyanogenmod-10/ Apparently CM has followed google here.

It seems that for NooK Color, this is already done.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmitriusan:
It does not help on HD+ (included wpa_supplicant binary complains in logs that it does not support wi-fi n spec).So wi-fi does not work at all on Nook HD+ with this hack.

We need a newer patched wpa_supplicant (that supports ad hoc and wifi mode n). Hacked version for any recent android device should go. I'm going to try that http://androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets/ once have a spare time.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngeloGomes:
I was talking about the idea of that topic.

But I think you got it.

About to have support to wifi n: I suppose that wifi g support is enough, right ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmitriusan:
It would be enough, but supplicant fails to start :o
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmitriusan:
I've dedicated some time to study this problem. Here is the result:

Joikuspot is told to discharge Nokia device in ~40 minutes of active usage. So tethering over bluetooth seems to me not only the only available, but also the prefered solution. Almost any phone with bluetooth should feet this purpose.

So, here is the final procedure:

- You need the rooted firmware with any terminal emulator (I use CM10 and build-in Terminal Emulator)

- Install BlueVPN

- pair your devices over bluetooth (may need to repeat pairing from scratch after installing BlueVPN)

- Start terminal emulator and type

su

- type

modprobe tun

- no output is okey. If you get the module not found error, I have bad news to you :) You need the tun.ko kernel module built exactly for your ROM. But at verygreen CM10 firmware tun.ko is present.

- disable wifi

- Start BlueVPN. Go to the settings and configure you connection options (I've enabled auto-resume and lcp compatibility, yo may need to play with another options to may things work) and GPRS settings (may be found at mobile provider web-site. At least Phone number, Access point need to be configured, in my case I've also set an Authentification to none)

- press back. On your screen you should see the paired device name. Click on it (probably at the button on the right)

- If confirmation appears, say "trust"

- If the text "BluVPN is connected with ..." is displayed on the bottom of your screen, congratulations: you are connected. Otherwise wait for some time and try selecting your device in a list again. Maybe you will have to play with settings / reboot and repeat the whole procedure/reboot your cell phone.

In my case, it takes 1-2 tries to connect, but connection seems to be stable. Don't forget that bluetooth distance is limited ;)

Few notes: you have to run commands su/modprobe tun after every reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Temjinleow:
Hey guys,

I just installed a custom ROM into my S2 but inside there are only basic applications and nothing related to link to google data or app inside. (Example: Google play store, Gmail, Google map, etc). i tried to install the google play store app in my phone and i opened the app, it auto close off. Can someone assist me?

Last time i facing this problem too and i resolved it by went to some webs that taught me to install something but now i cant find it. =(( :(:(:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Did you install *just* the ROM or did you install another package called Gapps too? From your description I'd say you forgot to install Gapps. Gapps is an acronym for Google Apps, and without it you won't be able to access ANY of the Google services. Go back to the original ROM thread and look for a link for Gapps. DL the file and follow the install instructions.......

Advice from the (semi) experienced.....

Next time, read the ROM thread thoroughly, and download everything it tells you to.....if the link is there, it's there for a reason.......

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sugni:
you defiantly should download gapps and install them using cwm, ;) for more information search google for ''gapps''
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bihslk:
Like mentioned above DOWNLOAD GAPPS for you ROM. Dont know wich ROM you have but

IF android version 4.1.0 then download gapps for that version. If you have version 4.2.1 then download gapps for that version.

that´s why you missing Playstore

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smmoph:
I have written before and still continue to firekit+ Usbboot my way to a healthy KF. For alot of us it is the last ditch effort to keep our unit's heart pumping. Recently however I finally saw something. Oh btw I am noob all the way with this stuff. Ok back to substance, I read many times Type lsusb., So I tried it w/ my live usb and sure enough saw "Texas instruments". So ubuntu does recognize it with some actual Identifier. My win 7 64b just sounds on/off repeatedly when usb cabled. Cpl see's it as other devices OMAP 4430. Never get a driver in for this mess. But not to be upstaged on my 100th or so attempt with little safety pin grounding to metal, The thing lit up to triangle (1st Gen, fff) and my fk - usb_fff_twrp went far enough to where it actually said <waiting for device> downloading boot.img . 2nd stage went well , image to target also , it finally said Okay [1.3195]

Finished total time 1.3225.

Still Doesn't boot but i do try to perhaps actually get over this.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
When you say it "Still Doesn't boot", do you mean it still won't power on, or it won't boot past the yellow triangle?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smmoph:
No it will not power on. The yellow triangle goes out also after awhile also.

.

Only during the Usbboot trick did it light up to a steady yellow triangle with dark flame in center ( just remained on) no little orange when I tried to push on pwr bttn either for twrp, I might add. As soon as I finished with pin etc. the green power button and screen go out. But moreover the fifth command I think before things went dark " ,usb_boot_twrp " on firekit it ran thru all stages of that repair option perfectly.With 12.04 [ubuntu]/ Liveusb I hope I get lucky with the shorting approach ( I think the timing is the trickiest part, just to interrupt with a tiny elec. short and flick in an operation) Plus since I now know Ubuntu's Terminal saw kf as a Texas Instrument device, I may try your Soupkit knowing the thing is at least recognised.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
It's just a matter of being persistent. Choose "usb_fix_parts_and_install_fff_twrp" and keep working at it. It took me many tries to get it right, but once I did, I could do it the first time every time, without any issue.

There is one thing that may help:

As soon as you see the yellow triange (and it stays), use fastboot to install FFF

before shutting the device off

. Just be sure you flash the ".bin" file that is packaged in the ".zip" and NOT the whole ".zip" file.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smmoph:
You mean when TWRP is on . Flash a.bin then. Quite frankly I hope I do see a twrp after all but, cause the only flashing I've done in past is through it. Also how do I use fastboot to install FFF., if I can ask. Or is this a firekit option. No problem then.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Nope, I meant what I said...go back read it again. You can search the General forum for "Fastboot Guide" to learn how.

Dang just my luck I just ordered the Note 2 on Friday. I have to wait until I tomorrow and see if they still have any 99 cent refurbs. Upside was the phone was 200 before taxes but I could save myself 199.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netnerd:
att knows galaxy IV will put note ii to shames? maybe that' why they want to get rid of note II? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok the galaxy S4 will not put this phone to shame. Why cuz it has a better screen, and a few more features. Samsung loves people like you to go& buy the latest and the greatest!

As far as the refurbish goes. It just a bunch of phones that got returned for minor issues, bad charging ports, screen not coming on, phone stop powering on, etc. So that's why they're getting rid of them to the public. Not because of the S4 release. Why not make more money on something that was broken b4! :confused: It's a common practice in electronics business..

But me & refurbish :thumbdown: there's always the possibility that your going to run into some of those same issues. I've had friends with refurbish products, I've also owned some myself..

But hey for 99¢ why the he'll not right :D

Just my 2¢ :cool:

I just ordered one this morning. :o

The down side, after upgrade fees and taxes it cost me $90.00. Still not too bad of a deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Intub8:
I'm considering adding a line to my account to upgrade from my gs3. I have fat fingers and typing on a larger screen may be easier for me. I am hesitant to get anything refurbished though. So many choices I just can't decide. I would hate to wait until Wednesday and be disappointed by the gs4 and all the refurbs gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Except for my current Note II every upgrade I've gotten from ATT over the last 3-4 years starting with my Blackberries have been refurb. Every one of them lasted. I was shocked, because I was worried also.

Obviously doesn't mean bad ones weren't put out. But my 2 cents is I've always saved 100-200 bucks getting the refurbs , and I've had great success with them.

Sucks now since I've upgraded to two Note II's over the past months and paid the $250.

Thanks for the feedback. I just took the plunge , will be joining the note forums tomorrow.

I may just add the insurance to be safe.

I am a bit confused about the messaging though, I'm pretty sure we both get charged 30 a month for family messaging unlimited, but it is only 20 per person? There is no explanation on their website.

Should it be just 30 for both of us or 30 each?

My 14 day refund period on my new Note 2 just ran out Friday. Argh why didn't I wait 3 more days! I had been waiting to decide on the HTC one and finally decided on the Note 2 just last week. I thought this price drop might happen but I assumed it would have been done already. Like after the HTC launch.

Oh well. That's life.

There is one saving grace. The store seems to have forgotten to reset my upgrade. So if something else is better I can still upgrade on the cheap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aneftp:
I actually ordered the 99 cents Note 2 this afternoon. It was actually free. They have a $25 instant web promo going on also. But they won't "give" me $24.01. It just shows as $0 on my order slip.

I get new activation waived via ATT premier also for new lines. I added a line.

So will automatically switch newly activated line to flip phone. Cancel data. Switch my sim from my iPhone 5 to the Note 2.

Cancel the new line in one month. Total out of pocket cost ($315) for Note 2..

Not bad. $315 is cheaper than the $500 they are going used on craigslist and close to $600 on eBay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Intub8:
I added the line to my family plan for 10 bucks a month , 10 x 24 = 240$ , no cancellation fee needed. I will keep the line because I can now upgrade every year.:D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Intub8:
Data only has to go on the line with the smart phone. I activated a cheap dumb phone on the new line and dropped the data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] phatty033:
so added a line to your family plan with the note2 which requires data when you order but once you get it, you can put the sim in a flip phone and remove the data? I wasn't aware they would allow that, but if so, I will probably do that as well instead of paying the etf.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] diamantericos:
I was mad cuz I'm switching from Verizon version to att by the time i order it went back to $199 and that was only 10:30 pm last night I thought deal was all day . When I started the order it was 99cents went to hit submit. Website froze when I refreshed it was $199.

I had a heck of a time ordering mine. I ordered 2 of them and 1 said processing and the other didn't show up at all. I chatted online with someone from AT&T about it and they were no help whatsoever. They told me that I had to wait for 24 hours for it to show up. I said the sale would be over by then but he kept telling me I had to wait. So, I said thanks and called them instead.
