[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kmartburrito:
Yes you can, in fact I'm tethering wirelessly using Fresh 1.0 right now on my netbook sitting in a quiznos writing this post. Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Toasty.

We can also tether using USB from an ADB shell (which requires a bit to set up.)

Both of which don't show up to Sprint as far as I can tell, and I've been tethering on my sprint phones for a long time. Root in the Android case, vs registry fixes from a Windows Mobile standpoint are similar in my opinion. Root access allows you to turn on switches which effectively get around the Sprint error 67 messages that you'll receive by just trying to turn on Mobile Connection Sharing.

I can help explain further if necessary, but yes it can be done!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Joecrack305:
im tethering right now at home on my pc lol with fresh 1.0! and i work for sprint shhhh lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Street_Knowledge:
its possible im doing it wrong, but when i open up wireless tether program that is included with fresh 1.0 i get a screen that says tap to tether, then i get a screen that says "su request" and it just sits there and istn able to be found by any of the devices i have running wireless internet.

what am i doing wrong?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
Make sure you have USB debugging turned on. Settings < Applications < Development < USB Debugging. The SU request screen should have buttons asking if you allow or deny the SU request. If you don't see the buttons then usually usb debugging is turned off.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Street_Knowledge:
nope, no dice, usb debugging is back on, and still just takes me to that screen lemme try rebooting and see if that fixes it.

also, check your pm's

edit: ding ding! that fixed it!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] teenum:
The program goes through the motions but does nothing. I connect and press start tethering and then it asks to allow or deny, once I select accept it goes to a screen that shows 0kbs Up and 0kbs Down but I cant seem to connect to the web and it shows because there is no increase in upload or downloads. Is there something extra needed?

What OS are your running?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] teenum:
Windows XP
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rquinn19:
Are you able to connect to the wifi network? If you are connected does it have an exclamation point or anything on the network icon?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] teenum:
No, I don't see any exclamation points. It just goes through motions and has the option for you to stop the tethering as if I'm already connected.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Is_907:
After it has the "0k up" and "0k down" you need to connect your computer to the wifi network/device called "G1Tether" (by default.)

Once you do that you can get online no problem.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ultivegito2:
Thanks to all of you for your replies.

I would just like to clarify, to prevent ungodly fines. :D If I have an unlimited data plan (that is, if my plan includes unlimited in every category except for mobile to landline calling), but my unlimited data plan is not packaged with the "phone as a modem" services, I can still use it for wireless tethering from Fresh 1.0 without Sprint adding additional charges to my monthly bill cycle?

Those of you who do this attest that your plan does not carry the "phone as a modem" option?

Thanks very much. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] justinisyoung:
yes, you can. sprint won't really know that you're tethering unless you incur some massive(and i mean MASSIVE, like many GBs) of usage. and they still shouldn't charge you or anything cause it is 'unlimited'.

so go ahead, tether. they just have the tethering option to get money, but its not illegal if you ahve the phone and find a way to tether it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ultivegito2:
You mean, not illegal, other than that I rooted it and flashed a ROM onto it. Right? (: Any idea the average speed of this tethering thing? Can I tether with bluetooth rather than with USB?

You guys are so helpful here, I love this forum. I wish I could be helpful.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] justinisyoung:
i don't think rooting and installing custom ROMs is illegal either. i mean, thats like the point of Android being open source. so anybody can develop it and do what they want. there was also something about tethering not being illegal, like if you have the phone and a data plan and youf ound a way to tether with your phone, thats not illegal. i think thats an FCC rule or something.

the average speed is the speed of sprint's network, usually. but just test it out yourself. tether your computer and google speed test.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ultivegito2:
Thanks so much! I will be returning here often, I think. Great site, seriously.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ultivegito2:
Ah, but wait, do you know if I can tether using Bluetooth? Maybe that's a silly question, but I read it somewhere and am curious.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rquinn19:
Yes you can its under the wifi tether settings
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ultivegito2:
Hey guys, sorry to unearth an old topic, but I have been trying, with no success, to use a PAN to connect to the internet, rather than the USB method (which does not allow me to charge my phone).

I have fiddled with every bluetooth setting that I can find, on my phone and on my laptop, and nothing I have done has been successful. I have also searched this forum and the internet, and no "solution" so far has done me any good. If anyone can walk me through the process, I would greatly appreciate it.

As far as information goes, Windows 7 Ultimate RTM, (yes, I have bluetooth on my laptop), Sprint HTC Hero, running Fresh 1.1, WiFi Tether v. 1.61-pre1.

Edit: Ignore me, I'm a fool.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ultivegito2:
Ugh. So, I realized I'm an idiot. :D Thanks anyway.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kmartburrito:
Was it something that someone else could easily run into when trying to get PAN to work? If so, post what happened!

If it was something like you forgetting to turn on Bluetooth, then I understand. Play on, playa! :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abcdfv:
Yes, Wifi Tether has an option for tethering through bluetooth.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ultivegito2:
No, it was that I didn't realize I didn't need to use the USB cable to transfer the data. heh.
[Touch HD General] Hookani:
Hi all,

Was wondering if there is a quick way to disable bluetooth or get the phone to not use the bluetooth connection when dialing out. I don't want to disable and then have to re-enable after the call. I want it to work similar to when you get an incoming call and use the answer key on the phone to answer it and the call stays with the unit and not routed to bluetooth ear piece but when you hang up, the bluetooth is still available for the next call. Hope that made sense.

Thanks,

Ho'okani
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Hi Ho'okani,

Please try out this software as a (temporary) solution:

http://home.casema.nl/rgschmidt/WM/Downloads/BT Restart_V_1_1_0_PPC.ARMV4.CAB

This will automatically restart the bluetooth connection after ending a phonecall.
[HD2 General] dadu:
Being a former palm user, I am quite disappointed when block recognizer was removed from the input options in HD2. :(

I can enter text and numbers much faster using block recognizer than using the finger keyboard. Is there a way we can have block recognizer again in HD2?

I've read that it's possible with some registry tweaking in Topaz.. However, having different version of manila, I doubt it can be done with HD2, or has anyone has a better solution?
[HD2 General] Ima302:
Found Your Fix!!!!!

I was having the same problem. I followed the following thread;

xda-developers > HTC Rhodium: Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 > Touch Pro2 CDMA

How do I restore the Block Recognizer

There is a .cab file created for the TP2. I downloaded it and installed it. Workz great!. Hope this helpz:eek:
[HD2 General] LeeBv:
Works -- but beware!

I tried the block recognizer, and it did install and work. But, the screen is much too small to be useful with a finger -- too many errors. And, once activated via keyboard options it seems to take over and won't let you get back to keyboard options.

The problem came with uninstalling it. It uninstalled, but was still there. Tried soft-reset, still there. Then I went into Windows folder and deleted all files installed today (this was the first thing I did this morning). After a couple soft-resets, the keyboard is back -- but options are still screwed up. It still shows the Letter Recognizer and I have to press the keyboard options arrow hard and long to get the options screen to pop up.

Damn. I just did a hard reset to fix something else and spent all last night getting programs back.
[HD2 General] Bicalho:
This was a magic solution for me. I always used block recognizer and is great to have it again in my HD2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gplock:
so i called tmo and HTC about this issue can ne1 help me here?

here it goes

open the keyboard and hit ALT and SMS make a txt and hit menu then u can see spell check WORKS GREAT !!!

once i sent that message and my girl rights me somethign back i touch it read it n reply but when i hit menu there is no spell check...

if i go to ALL MESSAGES and reply from there SPELL CHECK IS THERE but not from touch flow can some1 please xplain y i cant get it to work ? thank in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
This is one of many reasons why I don't bother using the Manila messaging.

What I do to reply to a received message is this:

1. Go to Message tab

2. Tap on the bottom right soft key for "Menu"

3. Tap "Reply"

This way, you get to use the default WinMo interface which is not as pretty but at least it's fast and has spell check.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gplock:
thank you

thats alot better then hitting "all messages". Thank u........

case closed.!

i was wondering if there was any way to disable the animation of the weather on the home screen background in sense 2.1? It seems to slow down scrolling in 2.1 and 2.5. to me atleast ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Photosgraphein:
Just choose another background image in the Settings tab...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cbx_smtp:
Nope

That doesn't seem to do the trick. I can only choose anothe background for the weather animation... or a "moving background".

It just needs to go....

Thx !

[Android Software Development] jimmydafish:
Okay I know this is a very noob question, how do I open android .img files And I have run a number of different search queries and still haven't found the answer.
[Android Software Development] mancsoulja:
what do you want to do with the img? dump it or just flash it? :confused:
[Android Software Development] the_fish:
if you got some kind of linux distro installed, just go (in terminal) to the dir where the image file is located, and type "file filename.img" if it returns something like ext2 filesystem, simply do:

mount -o loop filename.img /mnt

and the file will be mounted on /mnt, so you can access it using cd /mnt :p

if it returns something like VMS Alpha executable, you will have to download unyaffs, and if you want to repackage it later on, mkfs.yaffs2,

to get the file's content, just run unyaffs filename.img, and you will have the file content right in the folder with the img file...

if you don't have a linux distro installed, you can simply get virtualbox, and download the latest ubuntu iso file... mount the file in virtualbox and install ubuntu (it's quite easy)...

oh and incase you need them some basic commands:

ls - lists current folder content
cd folder - allows you to switch to a specific folder, like if you type ls, and you get the folder android listed just type cd android... if you want to go back to your home folder, type ~/...
sudo command - allows you to run specific commands as superuser (root... you can also just switch to user root by typing sudo su, so you won't need sudo every single time)
rm file / rm -R folder/file - allows you to remove files and with the parameter -R also folders ;)

hope this helped

i had an iphone b4 and i liked the phonezap app they had is there one for android? or anything similar?
[Android Apps and Games] hybridb:
Overview:

Send Geotagged pictures, see the latest zaps, get comments from friends, reply to messages, change your profile picture, and create ringtones right on your iPhone!

Well if you want to use that service in particular, then you can email the developers and ask for an Android version, they already have a WinMo version and a BB version.

But if you only want to geotag pictures that you take with your phone, then the default camera on Android 2.0 does that (so does the default camera on the Cyanogen Mod that I'm using) and most third party camera apps can do that.

As for creating ringtones (which I'm not sure why 1 apps needs to do both) then I recommend Ringdroid.

P.S.: next time, try to put some more effort in your post, maybe explain what the app you're looking for does!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Justin241982:
Recently me and my friend got kicked out of the house and into the garage so our wives could talk freely... About us pretty much, and while normally we love getting away from them for a while I was wondering if an app could be made to turn on airplane mode (so the phone doesnt start making noise), activate the recorder (so they cant say I didnt say that) and reroute all noise picked up by the mic to the bluetooth headset (for instant gratification). And while some may say THIS IS AN INVASION OF PRIVACY! , I say they have an eavesdropping machine they sell on tv every day I see commercials for it all the time. Any one else interested in this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] codybear:
Then make it so you can relay the camera to a computer so you can watch it also on your laptop. LOLOL

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Mesquire:
Why not just install a voice recorder and listen back afterwards? That's already available.

Also, Bluetooth may not have the range for the headset to work properly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Justin241982:
I have voice recorder, I was thinking this could be used in a few different situations besides mine of course and its not life or death just giving an idea to a bored programmer. well my bluetooth actually works from 30 feet or about 22 with 2 walls in between, it gets crackly after that.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] XenoV:
Hi to all...

I did search and search but nothing found. On my today screen - home tab - I have 20 shortcuts. Below the icons of the shortcut appears a text label.

With 20 shortcuts the text is very small, barely readable and in my opinion very distracting. Therefore I prefer shortcuts without the text label.

Where should I search? Manila files, registry? Can anyone point me in the right direction or hand over a solution?

Would appreciate your help! I'm using the 1.61 ROM and have the Max Manila mod installed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] XenoV:
Found some of a solution myself. I'm not yet satisfied with it though.

The text can be removed by editing the registry:

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\nn

Where nn stands for shortcut number, eg. 1, 2, 3, ..... 20

Look for the entry DispName. This contains the shortcut text.

Replace the text by a space.

Now the text box is gone, but the little black textfield remains.

When replacing the DispName by an empty string the text box also disappears, but now the whole shortcut icon becomes grey. So that is not a nice looking option.

Still looking for a better solution.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] XenoV:
Nobody here to offer some help?? :confused:

Just can't imagine I'm the only one who wants to get rid of the text below the shortcuts on the home tab. Without this text the home tab looks so much cleaner / nicer...

PS: Happy NEW YEAR to all !!
[G1 Android Development] next2nothing000:
One thing I have wanted on this phone since I got it is to be able to know when a text message or other notification comes through while in a call. Like a short beep or something similar to the sound the G1 makes when the battery is low. I am not a huge coder, but love toying around with my rooted G1. Any takers? Anyone want to do this? Anyone else been wanting this??? Thanks for all who view this thread.:)

I think Handcent sms has this feature but we are still missing gmail and other notifications
[G1 Android Development] david1171:
Maybe someone can get this done, this is one of the few things that has bothered me about my g1 since I got it.
[G1 Android Development] Hayzie:
I know this isn't the place to ask, but a way to have the keyboard along with the face buttons stay lit until the keys lock would be the best thing. It's annoying to move the trackball every time to just get those buttons to light up every time.

Unless there is a way and I've just missed it every time.
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
to answer the OP question:

I'm almost 100% certain my phone does this anyway +_+

In fact i'll test it tomorrow but i'm sure it does happen coz it scares the crap out of me when it does!
[G1 Android Development] r3s-rt:
i second the hancent sms. only one i know that does it and you can get rid of those annoying ass bubbles.

and, jesus people, stop with the unnecessary flame war. :/ really wtf are you guys gaining from any of it?

meltus if it does, what rom are you using? i could have sworn it was an options on cyanogens, but i can't find it anywhere it would be so i'm going to have to say its hancent sms. are you using that as your msging app?
[G1 Android Development] holysmokesbatty:
Obviously you people aren't READING THE WHOLE THREAD.

We are aware that Handcent covers SMS/MMS notifications in voice calls, but what about gtalk, gmail, facebook, MSN, ect.

As far as I can gather, Handcent DOESN'T do this.

The OP is asking for someone to see if it's possible to modify the Phone.apk to include this. All of you "Members" and "Senior Members" need to get off your high horses, if you're true senior members (likely not the case as most of your post counts probably come from slamming people who "DO EVERYTHING WRONG!!!") remember the days when the Android section of this forum was still relatively young, everybody helped everybody, regardless of how unusual or stupid their questions seemed. These days if you're not 100% perfect in your initial post, you get slammed. Leading to more completely useless posts from all of you "Senior Members" that are taking up EVEN MORE space with useless drivel that's EVEN MORE useless than the OP.

I personally think this is a great idea, and whole heartedly support it, if I had the slightest idea how this is done, I would be on it right away.

Also, before anybody slams me for being wrong, I have never used Handcent for my SMS handler because I prefer the modified one that comes with my CM build, but if it DOES allow notifications for ALL APPS through calls, it could have saved a great deal of time to mention that.
[G1 Android Development] str4vag:
This gets my support as well. I dont like Handcent. So if we can make it work with the standard APK, it will be awesome. I have asked around, for it to work, its not the Phone.apk that needs to be modified, its the .apk that giving out the notification that has to be modified. example is

for sms/mms, the mms.apk needs to be modified to check the phone status, and give out the correct sound notification. (not in call, use selected sound clip from external speakers; in call, use small beep sound in the ear speaker.)

same goes for gtalk,gmail,twidroid and any other apps that have notification.
[G1 Android Development] holysmokesbatty:
Good to see some serious input here finally, depressing to know it would have to be handled by the corresponding application, being as some of them are off limits (gtalk/gmail/ect).

At least someone still has their head on straight here.
