About Tethering...

My tethering hasn't worked since the upgrade, regardless of root, method or hack. It appears to set up the network fine and the laptop connects, but I can't pull up a site and troubleshooting points to DNS errors.

So it seems (after loads of research) that this is a known issue... But it's not an issue so much as a "feature" for our carriers: Apparently Jelly Bean allows Carriers to recognize and block tethering. That's why some folks lose tethering, and some don't. The issue is a switch at the carrier's end.

For those of you who know that you are supposed to be able to tether per your agreement, the solution should be as easy as calling your provider and having them enable tethering.

For those (like me) who have been sneaking in the back door and wish to continue to do so, the fix seems to lie in iptables (root required). The simplest I found was entering this in terminal:

su -c "iptables -tnat -A natctrl_nat_POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -o rmnet0 -j MASQUERADE"

...where "rmnet0" is replaced with the interface specific to your device. Apparently after this, one should be able to tether normally.

(Reference Android Google Code reported issue 38563, see comments 122, 125 & 131. Sorry... too newb to be able to post links)

Unfortunately this didn't work for me, but more than likely because I haven't a clue what I'm dabbling in. I sought out my "interface" by running "netcfg" in terminal with tethering disabled, and chose qmi0 (the one with a xx.xxx.xx.xx format IP address, the same as shows for the phone when it's successfully online). Does anyone know enough to see my mistake, or otherwise be able to help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone else confirm that HDMI no longer works? On ICS I was using a Droid 3 dock connected to some speakers, and it worked flawlessly - now putting my phone in the dock does nothing at all, doesn't even bring up any kind of dock/nighttime screen. WTF? Anyone else have an issue like this?
[Motorola Droid 4] BPMOmega:
I don't have a mini-HDMI cable to test with, but I have a Motorola Lapdock, and that still works fine in Jelly Bean (which plugs into the USB and HDMI ports).
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
My Droid 3 dock has both mini-USB and mini-HDMI pins, and it worked just fine with ICS. It's really weird... I'm almost inclined to think that there's something wrong with my flash. Will try an SBF when I get home.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I haven't tried hooking up a HDMI cable, but I can confirm that both the Droid 3 Multimedia dock (I have 3), and the Lapdock both work fine after the Jelly Bean update.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Hmm. Bugger... that's super annoying. Thanks for confirming though, maybe my dock is borked up or something. The plot thickens...

Edit: Went down to the local VZW store and had them try my phone in a brand new Moto HD Dock, no different results. Even brought my dock down there too, and thoroughly baffled the tech helping me. Nothing worked - my phone just sat there and did nothing (except charge). No dock screen, no nice auto-rotate, no nothin'. This was on a completely clean slate (fresh SBF, no apps installed, no accounts, wiped SD cards... the works).

Oh well, I guess.
[Motorola Droid 4] Wotta:
My LapDock also works wonderfully. Far better than originally.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I wonder whether the HDMI connector is the thing that makes the phone realise it's in a dock, rather than the USB? Perhaps your connector has gone bad, and it's just coincidence that it's at the same time as the JB update?
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
That was my thought too, but I tested it with a brand new Moto HD dock at the VZW store with the same results. Droid 3 docks (with identical HDMI and USB configurations) are cheap these days, I'll probably try getting another one just to be totally sure.

This is such an odd mystery - I hope it isn't the port on my phone that's gone bad.

Keyboard/Shift Issue

I'm wondering about the lack of sticky shift on the hardware keyboard.

Has anybody noticed that it seems to work in some apps (GMail, Messaging), and not in others (Chrome, Dolphin, Browser). Is it the class of the text entry area that's the trigger as to whether it works or not?

I've not seen it work in an app, then stop, but I do have my phone reboot every morning, so if it only does this after a period of time, then I wouldn't necessarily see it.

Is there a set of values somewhere that determines how the keyboard behaves for different types of text entry box?

shift key

try using hackers keyboard as default instead of aosp one, I saw if you tap in a field with aosp the shift hardware key will not work as you mentioned, it's strange that the software keyboard influence the use of the hardware one

regards
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Thanks, I use SwiftKey as my primary keyboard, but use Keyboard Manager to switch to Swype when the hardware keyboard is in use as it interferes less. So I don't use aosp anyway.

However, it looks like you are on to something, as the shift key seems to work fine when using SwiftKey, so Swype is introducing the issue...

I hate JB!!

I lost root, so I can't listen to Mike Redis' Spirit FM unlocked radio anymore. I used the sleep function a lot, and miss it. My shift key is having the same problem as mentioned here in several posts. Also when I am typing, it seems I am using 2 or 3 different virtual keyboards depending on which app I am using, and one of them I can't stand. Overall, I haven't noticed anything terribly different, battery life is about the same as it was. At one point in time I had data issues, but that seems to have been resolved, I think VW was doing something to the 4G in the area. My phone was stock and rooted, now it's just stock and I need to get root back. I have updated my much needed Spirit app, and the superuser apps, I have no idea how to reroot. Someone mentioned Razr Blade, does that really work for the Droid 4?:confused:

Does anybody know how to enable init.d. support on the stock JB ?

has anyone else had the problem that the touchscreen simply stops working in app? First time was right after a phone call. Second time was in a game app. nothing happened to the phone, wasn't dropped or anything, the touchscreen just stopped working. I can still use the phone by using the lapdock and physical keyboard, just the touchscreen won't work.

:::: Description ::::

This is a tool inspired on hsrars-d`s Defy Ultimate Wipe™ zips, which i use a lot. The only problem is that there are 6 diferent zips to flash...

So i decided to improve this by making 1 zip with aroma installer and all the 6 wipers included, also with a formatter to downgrade to Gingerbread. :cowboy:

:::: Features ::::

-Select your file system (ext3 or ext4)

-Select desired wipe profile:

Cache/Dalvik

Data and Cache/Dalvik

Everything (System, data and cache) <---- DO NOT REBOOT AFTER USING THIS OR YOU'LL NEED TO FLASH SBF

-Fast and easy interface. Faster than using recovery menus.

-NEW (2.0) Format to Ext3 without using bootmenu to easy downgrade from Jelly Bean to Gingerbread

:::: How to use it ::::

Download the zip and save it on your SD card

Flash it via CWM

:::: Download ::::

Mediafire

Google Drive

Uncledan (thanks for mirroring)

:::: FAQ ::::

Copy the Gingerbread rom that you like and Aroma wiper zips to your SD card, then reboot into recovery and flash Aroma wiper. Select "Ext3 - format & wipe" and exit. Now without robooting, flash the rom. Its not necessary to do any wipe, aroma wiper already did it. Thats all ;)

No, they will be only wiped, no formating. e.g you are on Jelly Bean (which is ext4) and you do an ext4 wipe, then you will still be on ext4.

Thanks to hsrars-d for the idea and amarullz for aroma installer :highfive:

Also thanks to Uncledan for mirroring

Happy Flashing!;)

is it possible to convert the zip package to sbf? My defy's power button does't function, and i need to wipe. Please help me...
[Defy General] mato_d007:
I have no idea tbh, this is an aroma installer zip, not a regular flashable zip so im not sure. Also i never did that kind of conversion but i will do some research.
[Defy General] Roshan_P:
Re: [TOOL][CWM] Aroma Wiper for Defy/Defy+ - Faster and easier wipes

If your volume up down buttons and the capacitive buttons are working fine, you should not have any problem choosing any option in the "custom" recovery. Use the extreme left capacitive button i.e. the one to the left of the home button, to select the option (which is usually done using the power button, but I prefer using capacitive buttons).

If you can get into the bootmenu, choose custom recovery and you should be able to wipe or flash with no problems. :)
[Defy General] bone101:
AW: [TOOL][CWM] Aroma Wiper for Defy/Defy+ - Faster and easier wipes

If the stock wiper format 'data to ext3...' in bootmenu of quarx jb is working corret we can use this , if we want to go to cm7

If you think if there is somthing wrong with your system partition because of stange bugs like no gsm or no wifi you could wipe the system with this tools

And i think sometimes there is no other way just flash stock sbf from moto to get things work.

[Defy General] mato_d007:
New version

New version replaces the old one. Now you can also format to ext3 without entering to bootmenu :laugh:

Instructions and FAQ added, please read the first post.

I need some feedback, tell me if everything is working for you guys.:cowboy:
[Defy General] Roshan_P:
When I did a full wipe (using the first version) it showed that the installation was aborted, I saved the logs and realized that the sd card wasn't mounted. I'd suggest you add a disclaimer in the OP to mount the sdcard before using this tool.

Otherwise, it works perfectly alright! It's quite convenient to have aroma installer for wiping! :D Thank you for you work, mato.:thumbup:

Will definitely try the new wiper when you upload a new build of xperia D(take your time :p )

EDIT: OK So I decided to reflash Xperia D 3.5 to try some other features(nothing major just the keyboard, camera).

First thing I noticed about the 2.0 wiper is that it still shows 1.0 in the aroma installer at some places but that isn't an important issue.

THE issue was this: I did a full wipe and saved the logs, flashed the ROM and the first thing I checked when it booted was the logs. It showed that the mounting was unsuccessful.

So I again rebooted into the recovery, mounted sd card, flashed Aroma wiper 2.0, wiped the system and then flashed Xperia 3.5. When I reached "installation type" I wasn't able to select any option. :|

Ofcourse since I had wiped the system, I had to flash the sbf and start from scratch. This time I wiped from the ROM zip itself.. and have no issues.

I hope this helps!
[Defy General] Roshan_P:
Can anybody please confirm that the scripts do not cause any problems? I just want to be sure before using this again.. :/
[Defy General] mato_d007:
Dont worry about the mount warnings, the script does not need sdcard mounted since it only wipes /system, /data and /cache. Thanks for the feedback, i will fix the wrong version number asap.

What do you mean when saying 'not a regular flashable ZIP'? Is this for the old version only? (I am asking as the FAQ says 'use CWM' to flash it..)
[Defy General] hotdog125:
This is a AROMA zip in which on flashing the zip (any recovery) you get a screen where you can choose what you want to do. But i recommend using CWM instead of TWRP as TWRP can randomly reboot in the middle of wiping which requires to flash SBF again.

I see.. something like a zip with its own GUI to perform the next actions.. Thanks for the elucidation. :good:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnius1:
Virgin Mobile where I live carries this phone but they won't sell it to me unless I sign up for a plan. So here's my scheme:

Step 1: Wife is on Virgin, so I could get her to put her existing plan on this phone and buy it outright.

Step 2: Walk over to Bell and grab a sim card and activate N4 on my account

Step 3: Return to Virgin, grab a sim card for my old phone and activate it on wife's account.

This way if anything goes wrong with it, I have an actual store to return it to for replacement rather than mailing it in, and the overall cost works out to about $30 less than buying it from Google Play and paying tax+shipping.

Thoughts?

I'd say just buy it from where it's cheaper. There is no carrier "bloatware" installed, and the N4s sold at carriers are the same as the ones sold on Google Play. Also, since it is easier for you to return it to a local store when you buy it from there, I'd say buy it from the carrier.

I think the folders are;

Internal Storage\Android\data\com.android.providers.media\albumthumbs

If you still have issues, then move (not copy) all the Music files to your PC and check the ID3v2 tags in Windows Media Player or iTunes.

Some tag editors may change more than just the album art. Fix them there, then move them back, or get a Google Music account and upload them to the cloud. You can edit the tags in the cloud with a desktop browser as well. I have more than 11,000 songs in the cloud and less issues than when I only kept a small number on my phone.

Some of the apps are amazing. If your a Twitter user, drop the $2 and buy Falcon. Its an amazing interface. TapatalkHD with its bugs is useful as well. Pocketcasts has a great tablet interface, amazon looks good, flipboard is nice as well. Its really not as bad as everyone says the apos are.

The biggest shortfall of the Nexus 10 is the screen (if you get one w/o lightbleed do a dance) and the battery life. If you can look past those your golden. Having features like HDMI out and OTG make it an ultimate media device and the front firing speakers beat anything on the market. (With some fine tuning). The experience I'd say is phenomenal, if you can look past the reboots on occasion and the slowdowns that can occur with Android.

Edit - to expand I cannot say I regularly use any app that isn't tablet/holo optimized. Pandora is the biggest offender, along with Tasker and Root Explorer, its sad how they refuse to optimize the apps. Otherwise Google Music, G+, email, gmail, keep, mantano, falcon, YouTube, pocketcasts, notes, mizuu, flixster, Imdb, fandango... All have nice tablet interfaces. Google voice also sucks, but they aren't updating it because it will be replaced soon.
