Marshmallow issue

This app was working prefectly on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 with the 5.1.1 Lollipop,

I updated it yesterday to 6.1 Marshmallow and it doesn't create a hotspot anymore.

It still can open and close the WiFi though.

If there is no possibility of an update of this app, is there any other similar to create

a hotspot without the need of a SIM card?

Edit:

Found an app to create hotspot without the need of a SIM card and much more:

Enable Access Point does not work on tablet

I often use Hotspot Control with my Android phone to

control a Raspberry Pi through bVNC. Thanks for the app!

The problem is that I'm trying to use it for the same purpose on a tablet Samsung

Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T710 with WiFi but without phone, and it does not work. I click on

"Enable Access Point" as I do on the phone, but it does nothing. There is no error message

but the message on tethering does not come up and the status always

indicates "Access Point Disabled"

Can you suggest any solution? It has to be something related to the

tablet settings, but I'm clueless.

Thanks

Can you make this work on latest Samsung tablet S3 (SM-T820)?

Disables WiFi but does not enable access point. ShareIt does not work well on S3 because it cannot initialize hotspot. Your app would be a great fix to the Samsung S3 tablet.

I can not get my hot-spot to turn on my android z798bl. I click it and it goes to turn on then shut back off. My hot-spot with my current carrier (Safelink) worked with my other phone which currently has the black screen of death because I was using a SD memory card and apparently messed with the internal storage or something like that as far as google says. Anyways I installed your app and it tell me my access point is poor. It turns my Wi-Fi on and off but when I hit enable access name it doesn't do anything. It looks like it is going to (meaning the button works) but nothing changes. My hot-spot is listed but greyed out. I am not very computer literate and google most of everything (hence how I found you) so please forgive me if some of my terminology is incorrect or inconsistent. I learn as I go.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Trying to get my hotspot up and running
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GonzoT:
I have a 16gb Nook Tablet that has firmware version 1.4.3 and I would like to run one of the CM roms internally. I am thinking about trying to run CM10 because from what I have read it has finally become stable (please correct me if I am wrong).

Over the last couple of months I have been skimming through this forum reading thread after thread trying to get a grip on the process. I have a 8gb class 4 Sandisk micro SD card that I would like to use for this. From what I understand I do not need to root the tablet first if I am going to flash a rom straight onto it.

So does anyone have a favorite method for going from a stock Nook Tablet to CM7 or CM10? I also wonder whether it is easier to use Windows or a linux OS to do this. I have Ubuntu on my Desktop and Windows 7 on my laptop so I can do either one. Also, how do you create a clone or image of my Nook and SD card so that I can revert back to them if anything goes wrong?

Edit: Do I need to repartition the NT hard disk like explained here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23272909#post23272909 or does that no longer matter once the new Rom has been installed?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
Since you're new to flashing ROMs you might want to use this

http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/

Its an SDC image. Just write to your SD card and you're good to go. Once you learn a little more you can internally flash. Flashing without knowing what you're doing may cause problems which could essentially reformat or erase internal partitions.

Edit: You can use whatever operating system you want. Ubuntu can read all your partitions though. Windows can only read some. But that probably won't matter if you're new.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GonzoT:
Thank you so very much. That was incredibly easy. Now I'm going to spend the rest of the evening messing around with this and finding out what I should have been doing all along with this tablet.

I'd say its more the shift to tablets. The vast majority of computer users seem to be consumers not producers and for consumption, basic android tablets and iPads do the job fine and are cheaper.
[Windows 8 General] C-Lang:
I think most consumers are just a little wary, and are waiting to see what will happen.
[Windows 8 General] theusername:
PC sales had been declining for a while, and that is clearly due to Apple gaining in the market. Windows 8 is a pretty big change, so it will not catch on quite as fast while people adapt to it. But rest assured, Microsoft has created an incredible product and their sales will start to climb more and more.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Actually, the full story is more complicated than what any of you have said here (also, this story is a few days old already).

First, Apple declined as well. By less, to be sure, but they did. The whole industry slumped.

Second, the numbers given (why the heck link Fox instead of the real source? Hardly a great soure of tech news) are for "PCs" only; tablets (even if they run a PC OS, like the Surface Pro) are not included. That makes up some of the slump, especially on the Windows "PC" side where Win8 has been targeting tablets pretty heavily.

Third, correlation is not causation. There are a number of things which could be the cause of this decline; the blame on Win8 is basically conjecture based on coincidental timing.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Are you considering Windows 9 as distinct from what is currently codenamed "Blue"? Because that's supposed to hit this year. MS has already announced that they're moving to an annual release cycle for Windows and for IE.

To me it sounds like basically they want the option of doing "service packs" which also change the UI, something that in the past they've avoided, but I can't say that's a bad idea. So long as their support lifecycle is unaffected, businesses won't mind; they'll keep on using whatever they use now, just as they always have. Customers probably won't mind, unless MS screws up the pricing or downgrades the user experience with no option to go back to the older version; improvements are a good thing, especially if/when they're free, and the same lifecycle argument applies to consumers as well as businesses.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
About the Xbox supposedly being premium priced, ps4 is rumored to be premium priced too. The cheap thing probably won't apply in that case, I can hardly imagine many gamers moving to the Wii U unless it gets some decent AAA titles.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>About the Xbox supposedly being premium priced, ps4 is rumored to be premium priced too.

Which is why console gaming is losing out to mobile gaming. A $60 game can't compete against a $5 game, even with IAPs.

http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/01/how-mobile-kills-the-console-but-advances-the-gaming-industry/

All the signs are there. Mobile gaming has the momentum. It can do hardcore games, it can have dedicated controllers, it has HDMI-out to big displays. With Miracast/Airplay, it can go wireless. It has an open eco which allows wide diversity. It can already do media/online streaming. There's nothing consoles can do that mobiles can't.

Consoles are trying to go the other way, by offering media/content to supplement the hardcore stuff, and appeal to casual gamers. There'll be apps. MS is trying (again) to do the TV thing. The problem is that the XBox will then be a glorified media streamer that costs $500, as compared to a $100 Roku 3 that exists right now. It's not even a contest.

BTW, neither PS4 nor XBox will have backward compatibility, since both will use x86 (AMD). I don't know if the new consoles' reception will be a bloodbath on the order of Win8, but I can't imagine any long lines either. The launch buzz around both has been underwhelming.

As for AAA titles, pubs go where the money is. It wasn't long ago when consoles had no hardcore shooters.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Don't assume x86 = no backward compatibility. The original Xbox also used x86. The 360 uses PPC, but its OS was designed from the beginning with the ability to run Xbox games via emulation. In theory, the other way around is also possible. The 360 had a powerful CPU for its time, but that time was ~8 years ago - around four iterations of Moore's Law - and PPC isn't a terribly difficult instruction set to emulate (not compared to x86, at least).

Sorry, off-topic I know, but something I thought worth pointing out.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Bit of a head start for xbla indie games as they are .net (CE I believe rather than full blow .net) so if they were to port .net and XNA then they would have a nice little back catalogue of games already.

But yeah, they can "just" use PPC emulation if they want although who knows if they will or not. No backwards compatibility and I certainly won't be getting one. I usually play PC, its just halo isn't on PC
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
I doubt that there will be 360 compatibility. Original Xbox compatibility would be more likely, but I doubt that too.

The 360 is just too complex of a beast, MS wouldn't want to allot the resources to designing an emulator, since most people who would want to use it would already have a 360.

The original Xbox is just too old to care about.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
MS killed XNA earlier this year. For indie gaming, the consensus is that XBL gave indie devs the shaft. Read the dev piece below for the lowdown.

http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/ThomasSteinke/20130202/185921/

Anyway, people aren't going to pay $500 + XBL sub for indie games when there are plenty of those on mobile. Aside from the few hit franchises that appeal to a shrinking pool of hardcore gamers, XBL has no exclusive content to pull in casual users. Any licensed content can be found elsewhere.

A walled garden also needs a low entry cost so people can easily get in. AOL practically covered the planet with its free trial CDs; Amazon sold the KF at or below cost to bulk up its eco. XBL's $500 up-front cost kills any chance for it to expand into the living room. It's like pricing the Surface RT at $600 and expecting it to win market share against Android/iOS.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Not officially they didnt.

The entire indie games secion of the XBLA is using XNA and new submissions are still coming in (infact MS only allow XNA on there).

XNA was used for all windows phone 7 games and is still being used extensively.

If they want to kill it off, they are going to have to give us a replacement, perhaps one will come with windows blue.

As for franchises. Call of duty, lets see, xbox, playstation or PC, well, few gamers bother with PC (although it is my preferred platform). A gaming PC will set you back just as much, if not more than the predicted price for the next gen xbox. Playstation 4 is expected to cost about the same as the next gen xbox. I dont see many "hardcore" gamers getting Wii U's. So there isnt another platform for them to move to that doesnt have the same cost issue.

As for walled up gardens. What, the wii and playstation arent walled up gardens either? Home consoles are walled up gardens, what do you expect? If you want something that isnt walled, get an OUYA, won't be as capable a machine but hey.

The Surface RT will always be more expensive and android, it should be, its a premium product, most android tablets are aimed at the non premium market. The surface is a premium device, no I dont agree with it being nearly £399 (PC World, cheapest UK price I can find, $611.07) but it certainly wont ever retail at £200 or so like 10" android tablets start at.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
In the quarterly conf call today, Intel CEO sez Bay Trail touch-screen notebooks will go "as low as $200," Haswell will start at $500. I have a hard time believing that, but Otellini isn't a BS'er. When all else fails, taking an axe to pricing always works. It worked for the $100 HP Touchpad, and a $200 Bay Trail isn't that far off.

Even if ignoring touch-screen cost, and assuming OS license is $0, I have a hard time seeing a netbook-class device being sold for $200 without hefty subsidy from Wintel. A $500 Haswell notebook is more doable sans subsidy. We'll hear more on this come summer.

If it happens, it'll be the first good news (in an unending stream of bad news) for Windows. Actually, it'll be good for Win x86, pretty terrible for RT, as I doubt MS or any vendor can field a RT device for less. RT will need to go into hibernation for this round.

Another casualty would be Metro. With x86 available and the "legacy" desktop being so much more functional, folks will ignore Metro altogether, especially if boot-to-desktop & Start Menu are back as rumored. Metro development would take a big hit. Then again, it's not like there's a rush of Metro apps as it is. Probably just as well. Metro isn't terrible, but it can use another year or two of work. Needs a file manager and a workable multi-window scheme. No more "full-screen only" crap on desktop.

The last casualty is the clueless bunch that buy into the tail end of the current hardware crop. Oh well, bleeding edge and all that.

So, let's all hope that Otellini Santa can deliver the goods. It may cheer Ballmer enough to do another monkey dance.

Since we were talking about XBox, here's a pastebin dump with more XBox rumors. We all know about Internet rumors by now, especially the anon variety. But after reading enough online crap over time, you develop a knack for sniffing out the BS. Dude sounds on the level, so I'm posting the link.

http://pastebin.com/avbwJc17

TL;DR: Dedicated SoC to handle X360 BC. No always-on. Kinect 2.0. Runs full Win8 (no desktop). Can play Win Store games w/ added controller support.

These sound plausible and even probable, since the sell can be a full PC on your TV using Kinect for gesture support. Most Metro apps (not just games) should work, although perhaps not at launch. A wireless KB accessory is a no-brainer. It's a good sell, and does correlate with the whole MS integration thingie: PC + console + TV + SmartGlass. Exclusive content won't be needed if the whole setup meshes well. That's the big if. The $500 up-front is still a hard sell.

My gauge is that this will appeal to existing console peeps, but probably not enough to sway casuals. I grade this as a "good rumor" since it makes (more) sense, even if no attribution.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
For those of you who like to do additional tweaks to your phone, what init.d and build.prop tweaks do you use? I've noticed some of them try to override crpalmer and Zarboz's kernel settings so I removed them. Also, I've read that some of these tweaks don't help at all.

So what tweaks do you recommend, if any, that play well with the DNA and with custom kernels?

Currently I have speedscript in my init.d folder but I noticed no benefit or detriment so I may just remove it. I also reduced the WiFi scan interval in the build.prop. I would like to add more tweaks since I can't leave well enough alone.

I'm looking for speed and battery improvements which can he a fine balancing act. I also want to increase the scroll speed as wel as change the autobrightness settings so it's more biased to lower brightness. I'm not sure if those could be achieved with init.d or build.prop tweaks.

#Render graphics with GPU&CPU

debug.composition.type=cpu

debug.composition.type=gpu

#For Faster Startups Disable Boot Animation

debug.sb.nobootanimation=1<<< faster

[QOUTE]Many build.prop tweaks set this value to 300, but it seems this is a bad idea. As Google points out, Android maxes out at 60fps. The default value is already allow for a possible max_events_per_sec of 90. Even if you allow for 300 max_events_per_sec, you’ll only ever see 60 of these events in any given second. Therefore, any value much higher than 90 is unlikely to have any noticeable impact on your experience in general. Additionally, setting this value too high can starve other UI events that need to get processed, viz. touch inputs. You’re not likely to feel like your device is running very smoothly when it is busy processing thousands of scroll events instead of responding immediately to you clicking to try and open a link or an app. There may be some specific scenarios where increasing this value does appear to improve system feedback, but changing this value for all UI events across the board will likely cause more problems than it will solve.[/QOUTE]

Just downloaded however you need an account, so can't test it further. But as stated by someone else, is that it runs slow on a number of their devices. So would appear to be a badly written software that has not progressed and been optimised as the android operating systems have. From what I gather it would seem that the software does not support multi core devices
