WiFi / gprs bridging

Can the gprs internet connection be shared out through the WiFi? I'd like my notebook to see it as an access point and use it's network access. Never got this to work with xdaII bluetooth and my powerbook, Apple's BT stack doesn't recognize the widcomm bt "server".

I'll buy one tomorrow if it can bridge the 802.11 and the gprs!

As for sharing the GPRS connection via WiFi, it may be possible if you set the connection on the Xda to NOT connect to the internet, otherwise the WiFi settings seem to overide GPRS. Sorry not much help! Couldn't you link them up with BT instead?

GOOD NEWS though

Hi there

great report

just a quick question..........I have been ringing o2 daily to enquire about the arrival and keep getting told that it is 'next week'........where did you get your unit from ?? I tried o2 Salisbury on Thursday and they told me that they hadn't received a release date yet !!

cheers!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] churchwa:
The phone is out at o2 now, has been since late Thursday evening. It will not be in the stores until Wed/Thu next week.

just call up and order it. I did ;)

I would also need them... please
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] irblinx:
I ordered ours through our dedicated o2 business team at the beginning of the week, as our commodity manager sent us the product code when the launch got delayed (internal pakaging problems!). The advantages of working for a big company with a corporate o2 deal!

Price wise we don't do so well on hardware, prob cos we pay next to nothing for line rental, I think they were 350 gbp each (ever noticed how u don't pay as much attention when it's not your money?), all "in contract upgrades". I'll double check when I get to work.

Anyhoo, a big box arrived on Thurs and opening it revealed 11 cool gadgets! Still waiting for the accessories to be released though.

I'll check for the cab file later.

It unhides both, but it doesn't unlock the Blue Angel. But you can copy the files out of the extROM once you can see them.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Cheddies:
I just bought one, well ordered one from o2 as an upgrade for the princley sum of £179.99, not a bad deal methinks seeing as the standard II is the same price. I had to go though select customer services because the stores are a bit gormless (well the one in Putney was, they had not heared of the xda IIs and tried to sell me a II, ealing broadway at least knew what it was but had no info on when they would get it or how much, told me to ring select, and the nice lady there ordered ir for me.

Lets just hope it comes soon........ I cant wait
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] apatrick:
regarding that O2 select line - what was the number you called? I don't think I can stand talking to too many "none too bright" people along the way!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] churchwa:
Cheddies, you should have been harder on them. I ordered mine on Sat and got it for £89.99 (£179.99 - 2 months line rental)

not a bad deal!!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Cheddies:
IMHO what i paid was fair seeing as i am not due an upgrade for a couple months..i am just too impatiant! :D

the slect members service number is 08702410202 but it does vary from reigon to reigon, and weather you bought your phone in a store or online.. try it tho.. see what you get (press, i beleive option 2 for sales and advice)

[General Questions and Answers] quakeaz:
Hello,

New here at XDA, I've done a lot of reading here and found the site extremely useful in the past, so I thought I'd join up. Thanks for all the help you have provided!

Anyway, I am wondering if anybody knows of an Android equivalent to 'cpulimit' for Linux.

I am looking for a way to limit maximum CPU usage for a single process.

Thank you.

Bryan
[General Questions and Answers] quakeaz:
Well, I have come to the conclusion there is no CPU limiter for Android, unless cpulimit could be compiled for it, which I have not tried.

However, this solution seems to work. If anybody is interested, I figured I'd update my thread.

Use the renice cmd.

Negative number raises scheduling priority, positive lowers it. From -20 to 20, 0 being the base priority.

I found that a value of even 5 limits the CPU usage of a process greatly when another processes is demanding a lot of CPU ad the same time, the one with base priority will receive much more attention.

Using Opera Mini as example:

# ps | grep opera

ps | grep opera

app_94 30814 93 114260 16956 ffffffff afd0c53c S com.opera.mini.android

Found PID of 30814

# ps -p 30814

ps -p 30814

USER PID PPID VSIZE RSS PRIO NICE RTPRI SCHED WCHAN PC NAME

app_94 30814 93 114260 16956 20 0 0 0 ffffffff afd0c53c S com.opera.mini.android

Now we see NICE value is 0 - base

# renice -1 30814

renice -1 30814

renice process to -1, increase priority slightly

# ps -p 30814

ps -p 30814

USER PID PPID VSIZE RSS PRIO NICE RTPRI SCHED WCHAN PC

NAME

app_94 30814 93 114260 16956 19 -1 0 0 ffffffff afd0c53c S com.opera.mini.android

This shows new NICE value worked, and is now -1.

It can also change priority for processes started by a particular user or group.
[General Questions and Answers] quakeaz:
There is kind of an extra step in there.

ps -p | grep opera

Could use this to see pid and nice value all at once.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgerrans:
I have a challenge for the group.....

I have a GT-N8013 that I was running Darkman's N8013 Rooted / Deoxed/ BusyBox ROM. When I applied his latest update, I lost the ability to autoswitch between the handwriting and standard Samsung keyboard based on pen auto detection (it worked fine prior to the last update).

Playing around to try to get it back I installed the Android Revolution HD 7.0 ROM and the pen auto detection worked again.

Now, I'm trying to get back to the latest stock ROM. I installed CWM, wiped all mounts, wiped the internal SD card, wiped Dalvik and cache and checked permissions. I then used Odin 3.07 to install: N8013UEUCMD3_N8013XARCMD3_XAR which appears to be the latest April stock firmware. Went back through setup and still no pen auto detection.

Since it works on the HD 7.0 ROM, it's clearly not a hardware issue. Makes me think there was something in the last Darkman's ROM that glitched on my tablet (no one else seems to have the issue). Not sure why my wipe and install wouldn't have cleared everything out but it appears that is the case.

Open to any and all ideas/suggestions to see if I can get that feature back since it's a critical piece in how I use my tablet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jon_yarbrough:
Ok, so I recently got an S3 and I've been searching everywhere for a definitive answer. How do you enable Mass Storage on the S3? I've tried downloading the S3 UMS apk file, didn't work, I've tried using Terminal Emulator to enable it that way, didn't work. I am currently rooted running an AOKP ROM. For the love of Pete and his magic dragon, can someone please tell me how to enable this? It's annoying having my phone set as a Media Device. I'm not able to organize my music and such the way I like and getting the stupid "error" message that I can transfer my music, but it may not play properly is beyond annoying. Thanks all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] steelcity:
I share your pain. This was so simple on my Captivate years ago and after having the S3 for several months I still cannot find a good way properly sync my music and playlists. It is really ridiculous. Somebody out there must have a fix or a workaround that works or know of a kernel that supports it, hopefully they will post in this thread because it really pisses me off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
The Galaxy S3 doesn't support UMS, only MTP. In fact, starting when google released ICS/HC, UMS was on its way out in favor of MTP storage. I feel your pain...I would rather have UMS but it's google's choice to ditch mass storage and use MTP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jon_yarbrough:
After further searching, still nothing. This is dumb. Obviously, the masses want the UMS back, they can push an update or something out to enable it. If nothing else, we should at least be given the option of MTP or UMS. I mean, it's Android. Android is know for it's options. Why are we being limited now?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geofferyh:
I just got my M8Pro 3G tablet from PiPo with default APN setup for using AT&T.

Name: ATT

APN: broadband

Proxy: Not Set

Port: Not Set

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: cingular1

Server: Not Set

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: Not Set

APN Type: default,supl,mms

APN protocol - IPv4

APN enable/disable - APN enabled

Bearer – Unspecified

My problem is that it will only connect to the EDGE 2G network, which is way slow. The modem specs for this 3G tablet are as follows:

1. Standard SIM Card Slot

2. HSPA/WCDMA: 2100/900MHz

3. GSM/GPRS/EDGE Quad band: 850/900/1800/1900

4. Download maximum: 7.2Mbit/s

5. Upload maximum: 5.76Mbit/s

In working with AT&T Tech Support we find that the provisioning system can not ID the IMEI number. Therefore, no APN settings from AT&T.

I am thinking that if provisioning could be set up for some other similar tablet we might get this working properly. I have tried several APN setups but nothing will let me get beyond EDGE 2G.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ymmp:
I'm really torn.

I currently have the HTC One S and really love the form factor and build.

The issues that really make me want to upgrade include: No expandable memory or removable battery, smallish screen, mediocre screen res and pentile (although it is bright and has good coloration), outdated resources - especially the 1 GB Ram, and useless notification light.

The other piece of info is that I am using Simple Mobile.

The ZL seems to take care of all of the above (except the battery), but does it do it by enough to justify a full price purchase?

1) While it can take an sd card, (I think) it is is limited to 32GB and has only 16 GB built in. The HTC One Dev Ed has 64 GB (best) and the S4 has 16 or 32 and can take a 64.

2) While the ZL has a 5" 1080p, it loses some real estate from the onscreen buttons and the washout at angles (I saw it firsthand at the Sony Store), while the One & S4 seem to have amazing screens (each in their own way - super lcd vs amoled)

3) In the resource department, the 600 or Octa don't seem to be significant upgrades to the S4 Pro and all 3 blow away the One s. (Antutu: One S = 10,644, ZL = 20,743. The One & S4 are 2-4k higher).

4) Notification Light - ZL by far.

And yet, it just seems like Sony did a lot of things mediocre on the ZL (by current flagship standards).

The screen already mentioned.

Battery Life.

The reviews are hard on the ZL's camera also. One interesting negative I came across is that it only takes 1 mp stills during video.

I'm not crazy about the onscreen buttons. Are there mods to make more use of them i.e. NavBar/NavRings? Has anyone tried using an app like Swipe Pad with them?

Can the toggles in the Notification Panel be removed? I'd rather use something like Elixir or Widgetzoid.

What I really like:

The price! I'm seeing the 6502 as low $515 no tax and 6506 $540, while the S4 or One would be more like $700 or more after tax.

The Power Button placement and the physical camera button (the One's placement on top is really unacceptable).

Lack of Carrier bloatware and yet fully compatible with both AT&T and T-Mobile.

The sound and screen enhancements and tweakability (Bravia, White Balance, xLoud, etc.)

And some more questions:

How is the rear speaker for music and in calls compared to the S4? The Note 2? By it's placement and the way the camera comes out a little it looks like it might have the "N8 effect" on a hard surface.

How is call quality on T-mobile?

Will the camera work better/differently on CM or in stock using something like Camera Zoom fx?

Thanks a lot in advance. I've spent many hours doing research, saw all the phones in person at the stores, etc. but it's such a large purchase so I'd really appreciate the feedback!
[Sony Xperia ZL] keith777:
I have the ZL and am using a 64GB SD card with no problems being recognized. Also I've had an iphone 5, htc one for a week and the ZL's battery is better, way better than the htc one and a little better than the iphone 5. Actually really impressed with battery life for a 5" screen that is 1080P. As far as the screen being washed out at an angle that's true but useless criticism as far as i'm concerned. The only time I can see it washed out is when it is at an angle i would NEVER use it. Looking right at the screen for normal use it's as good as any phone out there, HTC one included. As far as the onscreen buttons, I wouldn't have it any other way, its the way android was designed anyway. When I had the htc one for a week the buttons on there just sucked (and why they went from 3 to 2 buttons i have no idea, stupid decision). It takes 2-4 presses usually to get them to work, not that way with the onscreen buttons. I have no regrets on getting this phone.
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
All I can say, coming from a droid 3:

- The screen is awesome.. personally the viewing angles dont bother me at all since I use it from front angle

- Yes the screen uses a lot of power, but it also did on my droid 3 and that screen sucked major ass. Also, the idle time is the best I've seen on any recent smartphone. With wifi I can stay a fixed percentage for 2 hours easy. When you use it it will drop reasonably fast but it's OK because you still have 95% when you start watching a movie :) I always can go through 1 day.

- It's super fast. 2GB is awesome

- The camera is supposedly getting better with every update
[Sony Xperia ZL] ghatothkach:
The thing I like, I have a Galaxy S2-i9100 and use it with a otterbox case, the ZL with a simple clear case is as 'small' as my S2 in the otterbox.

and it feels real solid. I still have to hack it. but all in all it seems to be a very good phone...

Make sure you switch on the Stamina mode for the battery...

Video on this is crystal clear... have not toyed with the camera...

I hope Sony comes with AOSP for the ZL...

Ans 64GB SD should work... on most devices... folks prefer to format it exFAT which may not be supported on some custom roms but factory images definitely support it.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creep138:
I'm using pa3.56 with stock kenel. No complaints, well worth the money. I even stopped using it on the comp. Not as many features as it does tho. The touch interface is really nice to work with and makes it so much easier in my opinion.

As far as the app itself, no slow downs, stutters, hiccups or force closes. Best used with actual headphones not the ear buds or apple. I'm just using a pair of $20 dollar Sony studio headphones with no complaints.

Try m-kernel, once i finish moving into my new place and get settled with my finances i really want to buy fl studio and play around with it, i remember making some sweet stuff a few years back on PC, I'm excited to see what they have brought to the table with a mobile app.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creep138:
Well, it wasn't horrible, but not to keep with the kernel. Going back to stock.

I noticed the app did take longer to load, maybe by a few seconds. When I was dragging tracks over to loop longer I noticed it doubled the track a few times. I experienced a few hiccups in time where I couldn't keep the beat playing piano.

Over all, the app is great and can't wait for the update where you can add your own stuff like the guitar. But the developer is right about kernels causing an issue. I can vouch custom ROMs don't at least.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmoalem:
thanks for trying - good to know... i have bought reloop and it is very laggy on my N7 with faux kernel and stock rom, it runs much better on my xperiaT with stock kernel and rom so i guess original kernel perform better in this cases...

I type out websites on Whatsapp and in my browser on a regular basis, but with auto-complete I end up saving and typing words that I didn't intend to because of the format of a URL. I could turn auto-complete off, but I still need it when I'm doing regular texting.

Is there any keyboard with a button that can turn auto-complete on/off when pressed? Or perhaps a home screen shortcut that can do this?
