[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trphunk:
Thanks, I've got the FroydVillain ROM installed now and can confirm that it comes with pand and hcitool compiled and working.

Reverse tether does seem to work, the method that's worked for me has been to use:

pand --connect <remote BT device hex address>
ifconfig bnep0 down
dhcpcd bnep0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

This allows the device to access the internet, and you can ping www . google . com and get a response etc.

However, a lot of android apps (including the built-in google apps for gmail etc) use the ConnectivityService (see source code here) to access the net, and since this method of reverse tethering doesn't change the connectivity state within this service, those apps still believe that there is no internet connection on the device.

I can't see an easy way of "tricking" the ConnectivityService as it appears to have been hard coded to only cater for WIFI and 3G connectivity. So perhaps the only way is to rewrite it.

I've found a few cases of others going through the same issues online, although I think the getMobileDataEnabled return value is a red herring:

forceclose.com/questions/2669/connect-android-to-internet-using-usb-tether-through-laptops-newtwork

Looking at the code in ConnectivityService.java it seems that apps must subscribe to this service via getInstance() and then wait for a sendConnectedBroadcast() to occur, triggering them into action (e.g. the gmail app will attempt to sync to the gmail server etc).

Anyone got any ideas for an easier route than rewriting ConnectivityService.java to add an additional connectivity type?

Edit to add:

Found another related discussion at the following site. Seems to suggest modifying the ConnectivityService is the way to go:

Based on the posts I've seen in this thread, I'm guessing I can't use BlueTooth PAN tethering from my rooted Dinc to provide internet access to a Samsung Galaxy Tab???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flavy:
So has anyone tried to Bluetooth tether a Galaxy tab with a phone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rpmccormick:
Thanks for this thread! I just successfully Tethered both internet+gps over bluetooth from my G1 to my AdventVega tablet.

For now I am using GScript lite with the following script commands:

pand --connect {my phones BT hex address}
ifconfig bnep0 down
dhcpcd bnep0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
dhcpcd bnep0

(for some reason the first dhcpcd command always says permission denied, but the last one always works)

So...

1) Get in to car with Android phone and Vega Tablet.

2) On phone: Enable GPS/Bluetooth, click GPS2Bluetooth widget button, click WiFi Tether (configure for BT), press to start tethering.

3) On tablet: Enable Bluetooth, click Bluetooth GPS Provider, click Start, click Back or Home, click GScript Lite, click "Connect to BT-PAN" (above script)

4) Run GoogleMaps/Navigation on tablet and enjoy using your tablet as the ultimate GPS navigation system (while streaming Pandora in the background)!

I am very happy. I just wish I could make step 2 & 3 be a single click instead of so many.

NOTE: Must have "Allow mock locations" enabled in Settings->Applications->Development

NOTE2: You must pair your phone and tablet in BT settings (it will never say "connected" though, which is fine)

So here is my story, about 3 weeks ago I bought a touch pro off of ebay, that was for "pageplus"... well it turns out it was actually a sprint phone that had been flashed to pageplus. It worked for voice and text, but no data. The seller gave me a partial refund, and I figured I could get it to work. Anyway 3 weeks later I have it unlocked with Mightyrom 6 running and everything is great, except for some intermittent keyboard issues. I figure why not a hard reboot, see if its something that I had installed.Thats where everything when down hill. When It finished booting, it had jumped carriers to Verizon. If i tried to call with it all I got was verizons customer service. I've spent the last 6 hours trying to get this thing to work. My on going struggle can be read over at Howardsforum

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1638018

wahahahahhaha, she's alive, SHE IS ALIVE ... my phone finally works again, that was a rough 24 hours... the thing that I entered wrong was the MSID... who knew that phones had two phone numbers. Thanks to Ebay seller Kittywireless for their help. They didn't make a dime from me, and helped me find the answer.... One bonus of all this BS is it forced me to learn a lot of stuff about my phone, and now the Data is working

Could you happen to do me a huge favor. Im using a samsung rant from sprint and everything that happend to you happend to me!!! could you type out the data settings for you phone ie: User NAI, SPI MN-HA, SPI MN-AAA, Rev Tun Pref, Home Address, Primary HA-IP, Second HA-IP and your browser gateway ( you can get there by pressing ##3282#) thank you sososososo much!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ayman07:
Okay folks. I am wondering what you guys think about this. I hate to compare to the iPhone....again but there something that I am missing a little bit but not enough to make me jump ship...OBVIOUSLY! Anyway take a look at what I did with Paint.

vs

now the point of this is to make the conversation more....fluid. when im in the stock mode, picture 2, i just feel so disconnected from the conversation. i use google talk, i dubbed it GGM (Google Gmail Talk) just so it sounds as cool as BBM, and when im typing in landscape I cant even see what the other person wrote unless i exit the keyboard. again, this just takes me out of the whole experience. now some might say that the screen is too cramped with this option, others, like myself, say its not that bad and its probably worth it. and perhaps to satisfy both parties, maybe we can implement a double tap feature which will go back to stock mode. honestly, i have no clue if this is even possible but your inputs would be nice.

check out this thread: this guy actually did it but its kinda rough.

I like where you are going with this idea maybe you should pm the dev of the HTC IME mod
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
I type in portrait 99.999% of the time for this reason. I hate getting an IM/text from someone and not being able to see it without exiting the app.

I like what you did by not taking away from the kb size any, but from the HUGE area they give the text space. The text doesn't need that much room IMO. I hope this can be addressed and something better can from it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
I have to say, I dont like it....had it on my last device and it feels to tight, to small, I prefer to rotate my the device and enjoy the big field to type.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ayman07:
The only time I could really see myself needing to use the stock setup would when writing long responses in a forum. for example, before XDA had an app I would respond to threads using the standard view from the browser in landscape. this nicely moved all the other unnecessary stuff and made quoting someone very clean and easy.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darx:
I think landscape typing is horrendous on android..I'd love to see it fixed. I'm a landscape lover but usually I stick to portrait for the KB.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ayman07:
I wonder if this is really something within the actually keyboard. I thought it was a framework issue, granted tho, I don't know much about that subject. is there anyone out there willing to make this happen?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Alclub:
The easiest solution to this problem is to use Swype, which works better in portrait view, and still type fast.

how the heck is that a solution? did you even read the post?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bengrulz:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ayman07:
ya i did email him but he didnt respond. ill try a PM next.

PM sent. lets hope for a reply.

alright folk, i just had a lil chat with Chris Soyars (the dev who worked with cyanogen on stuff like the cool App2SD feature and who created NexusMod Live) and he says this is wayyyy to complicated. My predictions were correct, this is not something that is found within the HTC_IME or any other keyboard, its something within the framework. He admitted to me that he wouldnt even know where to start! Guess I got a lil over zealous with my request. He is really busy so he cant work on this but he said its all about finding the dev who is willing to put the time in.

with that said, i still think it can be done!! lol we just need the right person.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] I_Artist:
Hi,

I think you should read android-developers.blogspot.c0m/2009/04/updating-applications-for-on-screen Much of the problem lies not in the keyboard, but in how the applications interact with the keyboard.

Google's algorithm makes sense, but many applications don't specify their input mode, so the keyboards do the best they can.

Different combinations of Keyboards/Applications will yield different results. If you don't like what you have, tell the developer, or change keyboard and/or application.

Cheers!

-I_Artist
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ayman07:
This is a HUGE help! I think I understand this better. Its not necessarily a framework issue, its the keyboard itself and all the keyboards are roughly identical. So what happens, if i read this correctly, is the keyboard has a predefined algorithm that tells it there isnt enough space on screen to have both the keyboard and app showing. that is why it reverts to covering up the whole screen.

So if we look at the IME and readjust what it considers to be too cramped of a space to display the full keyboard and part of the app on the same screen then it should work! what u guys think?

did some more digging. this is from HTC_CIME but it should be roughly the same idea:

could these be the settings responsible for letting the app appear in the background with the landscape keyboard over it? i dont know what they "@7F02..." mean, what do these values represent?

I know there are a lot of big threads for Opera Mobile 10 and I know that there is a search function. Believe me I've looked into those threads and also tried to search for my issue, but no luck.

So here is the deal. In Opera Mobile 10 the text and the images quality is very low, pixalated. In the same time with version 9.7 everything is very clear and crisp.

See attached screenshots from the same web page with both browsers.

PS. I know that v10 has the whole width of the page and 9.7 has a little bit of a zoom, but never mind the zoom the quality of the v10 is very horrible. Even the google icon in top right corner looks like crap.

you can check the real opera settings: opera:config

mayb there is a possibility to set the image quality higher
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dorigny:
change the original zoom value !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spritable:
Changing the original zoom value to 80% does the trick with the text, it's very sharp now, but the images are pixalated. And also 80% zoom is too much:

Also you can see in portrait mode how the page looks like. The text is looking pixalated, not readable at all. The images are awful:

I think changing the Zoom to 90% would fix the landscape mode. But there is not option for 90%, also I've searched into opera:config to change that value, but zoom was nowhere to find.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lemonspeakers:
Don't use Opera 10. Its horrible. Its faster, but its picture and text quality sucks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kev007:
I've also recently switched from opera 9.7 to 10 and have found that the image quality is terrible (turbo off of course), it seems as if its turning a group of 4 pixels (2x2) into a big, chunky one.

strangely, there haven't been many threads dedicated to tweaking opera 10

p.s. i'm not having too much trouble with the text though
