So, i hope this is an appropriate forum...

I have an att sim for a unlimited plan (tie in to DTV).

Of course they do not allow tethering (usb or hotspot). Now i was not using that particular number so i popped the sim into a Samsung Galaxy (sgh I897).

This is a 3g phone.

I, on a whim, turned on the mobile Hotspot (settings, wifi, mobile ap).

I have been using it for a week to get network on a windows 7 desktop pc.

Email, google docs, watching youtube, editing websites, watching The CW, watching Syfy.

No complaint from at&t.

I wonder if it is because the phone is old and reports in a way that is no longer monitored or maybe because it is 3g and they are not so concerned about that spectrum...

Do you all think it is a matter of time till they figure it out or did I find a loophole?

You found a loophole there is no way they will be able to see what you used your data on, that would break there privacy policy.

I tethered like this for years ... probably 10 years or so.

I only got a letter from AT&T this month.

I am wondering whether it has something to do with my new phone/new version of android (HTC One M9 running AOSP Candysix).

I always just tethered with the built in Bluetooth tethering.

As far as I can tell there are only two ways for them to tell:

1. Read the data, specifically headers, which would tell that the traffic is coming from a PC; this should/would be solvable by using a VPN

2. The OS passes on some kind of flag to the carrier. I read that old versions of android would use a separate APN/virtual device for tethering but I can't find this info on my phone (IP rules show, etc.)

any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urhaxable:
I am trying to mount an external sd card that is ext4 file system. I am mounting it on a directory of my internal sd card. It seems only root sees this. If I transfer a file to this directory as normal user it gets stored on internal sd. If I run df as normal user I don't see the ext4 mount, but if I su then df, I can see the mount. Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is using my external sd with ext4 instead of exfat.

Also if I insert my 128gb sd into my Linux computer it only shows I think 25gb? If I put it in phone I see 128gb? Do I need a new card reader for my computer?

I download a lot of stuff onto phone and sync with computer, using mtp sometimes crashes, that's why I'd like to use ext4 and just toss my sd into computer and transfer.

I don't know why Android wants to use exfat when ext4 is so much better and native already. Maybe just to keep support for windows?

When I go to sleep at night, I usually leave my phone plugged in until I wake up. I need my phone to have a full battery when I awake, and this is the only option that I know of. I was wondering if there is a way to force the phone to charge a little more slowly so that it isn't sitting plugged in on the charger with a full battery for a few hours until I wake up, as I understand this can damage your battery and reduce longevity. Anyone have any suggestions?
[LG Optimus G Pro] DanC7766:
Maybe you could use a low amperage charger?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
With original charger (1.2A if I'm not wrong), it took nearly 6h for my phone to fully charge (while it was new and on factory software). Even the charger is declared as 1.2A, charging current never went over 700mA so you can safely leave it on charger, with no worries... Devices do have a overcharge protection, and simply will stop charging second battery sensor gives "Full" state (you can test that with Ampere - you'll get the charging current and see that even after 100% is reached, battery continues to charge for a while, until "Full" state is set by the sensor). Battery quality will deteriorate no matter what you do - they are made to survive some number of recharging cycles and that's it - mine suddenly started loosing capacity fast, after 2.5 years (or around 1000 cycles), out of blue, and you can just replace it. Same story with other phones I have/had: simply, after 2.5-3y their batteries start loosing capacity rapidly.

I would not recommend weaker charger (under 700mA) because our device has 250-400mA drain during idle, and if you want your phone to be full same moment you're awake, you may get a nasty surprise of "Charging" status :D Anything around 1A is more than enough.

[Palm Treo 750 Accessories] CrazyMonkey:
I've recently purchased an EverMore GM-R900 GPS receiver, connected to the 750v serial port through a mini-DIN adapter (which also includes power input from the car adapter). The question is : how do I map the serial (data) to make it available to other apps (other than active sync, which seems to be the only user of the serial...) ? I tried with GPS Gate but unsuccessfully, I cant find the correct source. Has anybody experienced something similar, yet? Perhaps with some carholder with integrated gps?
[Palm Treo 750 Accessories] CrazyMonkey:

Still No GPS Device Found

Hi Guys,

Thanks in advance, i have gone through this site numerous times but still haven't been able to get my TomTom working on my new Treo750 and Ox-XDA IIs both running WM6.

I have GPS receiver in my cradle which works like a jam on my previous Treo650 (Running PalmOS). But since upgrading to this WM device it has become a night mare can't get it right particularly the way windows is handling com ports.

Can any one please guide me on how to get it going as I don't have PDA with in-build GPS receiver nor bluetooth receiver only this serial connected receiver.

Thanks

Nilesh
[Palm Treo 750 Accessories] Ellis10:
not sure i understood

If you have the tom tom software from your 650 and you are trying to use it on wm6 ,it is more than liely a software problem.

i have tom tom running on my 750,with a sirfstar 3 bluetooth gps unit, with no problems but the software came with the device.

If I am not mistaken tom tom allow you a device change every so often, in which case you will be able to download the correct software for your device.

This is my biggest problem, the charging port just doesnt work properly! i connect it, it charges just fine, 100% in an hour or so, then it drains throughout the day i get home from work, from about 8-5/6 its down to about 50/45% i plug it in and no charge, or even worse half way through the day it'll pop up saying charger not charging battery, with nothing connected into the charger! its just died on me and will not charge at all, until i plugged it into my computer via fastboot and the lil blue light pops up and is now charging. Slowly, but is charging. any ideas as to why it isnt charging through wall charger? all official cables, and around 5 it was charging, in work fine. i get home and it doesnt charge.

Another problem is when i turn it off (Press the power button>Power off) it doesnt turn off, it forever restarts, red light, sony screen, black screen-repeat.

Any Ideas???

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] widofmaker:
Greetings all.

Quick question. Is there any way to connect android device (using USB Ethernet adapter + OTG) via Ethernet cable to another device that does not provide IPs via DHCP (static IP)?

To elaborate, I'll soon be in the situation where I'll have no access to the internet and the only thing I'll have is my android device (Pixel C) and my HTPC (running OpenELEC). I would like to connect them via ethernet cable and browse SMB share from my tablet (as well as move things around). I know that the best way would be connecting directly to HTPC via USB and use file manager in Kodi/OpenElec but I would like to be able to move files around without interrupting HTPCs usage. Also, I know that I could possibly buy cheap network router with 2 ports and get IP assigned via DHCP from it but if that's possible I would like to connect those two directly.

*** UPDATE ****

I was able to manually set IP on HTPC as well as on Android device using ifconfig eth0 [IP] netmask [NETMASK]. I'm able to ping and ssh into the HTPC machine, however, it's only doable with superuser permissions. Is there any way to set static IP for eth0 by default (eg /etc/network/interfaces in linux/unix) on android or at least make ifconfig change available for regular user?

Pixel C Ethernet Adapter - No DHCP

Hello,

I'm also experiencing issues with DHCP not being available.

What I would like to do is establish point-to-point communication between two(2) devices - a tablet

and an embedded device. The tablet is a Pixel C running Marshmallow 6.0.1. I have the devices

physically connected by USB and they will use this USB connection to communicate using

standard web services.

In the configuration, the embedded device is acting as the "server" but unfortunately does not

support DHCP. I need to create a static IP address and disable DHCP on the tablet side.

I was able to establish an ethernet connection with LAN(DHCP). However, unlike previous versions

of Android, the Pixel C does not provide the capability to disable DHCP and modify ethernet

settings.

My question is, is there a procedure to create a static IP address and also disable DHCP on

the Pixel C(Marshmallow 6.0.1)? If not, can we restore the settings that were available on

previous versions of Android?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b_AZAZEL:
Long story short I rooted my HTC one m8 about 6-months ago and decided I wanted to try stock Android 6.0 out. Some how in the process I accidentally installed a random boot.img as my recovery and boot loader with TWRP. 'S' is on and i can't turn it off because ADB doesn't recognize my device (but fast-boot does). I've tried installing new drivers but they don't recognize my device still. It is unlocked but I can't find an RUU or Firmware that will install on my device with 'S-ON' (and like I said before can't figure out how to turn 'S' off with out ADB) Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motocharlie:
I can only boot into safe strap. I think I accidentally deleted everything on there. I tried a different ROM, and that didn't boot up.

Not sure all the info anyone would need.

Right now I'm looking at Odin not working. Heimdal I haven't been able to find a download for. The things that a lot of the guides talk about go to 404s since the phone's a couple years old at this point.

My main phone is a OnePlus 2 that I need to send in for a warranty repair, but there's the potential of me being able to flash a new rom on there, that has the updated drivers for the fingerprint sensor (and thus fix the issue and I don't have to go without a phone).

I figured I'd try out the whole process before I accidentally brick my main phone, haha.

I tried doing Kies, too, and it said that my model number isn't right but only after I put in the S/N so I don't know what to make of that.

I've been reading everything I could get my hands on for the past two days and so well I guess I can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

I've got a LG Leon LTE that works perfectly, except the selfie camera doesn't work, and is inaccessible from the standard camera app. There is no "swap camera" icon when I use the app. The rear camera works fine. I figured the camera itself had gone bad or somehow disconnected itself from the board, and I also own an LG Tribute 2 with working front and rear cameras, so I opened both phones and swapped cameras. The camera from the Leon worked fine in the Tribute 2, but the camera from the Tribute 2 is still inaccessible in the Leon. Still no "swap camera" icon in the camera app. Both phones are at Android Lollipop 5.1.1, Kernel version 3.10.49, Build LMY47V. Both phones are rooted. Can anyone please give me a clue as to why the standard camera app can't see the front (selfie) camera and what I can do about it? I've tried hard and soft resets and recoveries to no avail. Thanks in advance.

That works fine on the LG Tribute 2. The Tribute 2 also has 4 icons on the top of the screen when the camera app is opened, including a "swap camera" icon. There are only 3 icons on the top of the screen when the camera app is opened on the LG Leon, and the "swap camera" icon isn't one of them. "Swipe anywhere" has no effect on the LG Leon. In fact, the camera app in the LG Leon looks exactly like the camera app looked on the LG Tribute 2 after I physically removed the front camera from the Tribute 2, and rebooted the Tribute 2 without a front camera. So again, can anyone please give me a clue as to why the standard camera app can't see the front (selfie) camera in my LG Leon, and what I can do about it? Thanks in advance.
