[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canterrain:
Ok, I've mentioned this in the main damage thread, but it moves along too fast and gets lost among the shuffle and I don't want to clutter it anymore.

I, and I've noticed at least two other people, have not been able to send out emails since trying the OC kernel on dc 2.08.

The OC never worked well on my hero to begin with (guess I'm one of the people unlucky enough to have a processor that works just where it needs to and no more), so the first thing I did was a nandroid back to plain 2.08. But I still had the no email problem.

I've since then tried flashing a boot image provided by another user with no luck (but doing that does break wifi), flashing 2.08 over itself, upgrading to what turned out to be the broken 2.09, then downgrading back to 2.08, then reflashing over itself again, and earlier nandroids.

All that has still left me unable to send out emails. Or any data through email, such as when I delete an email on my phone hours later it will still show up when I log into gmail on my computer.

I've been on the phone with sprint and their advanced techs. Their guess is that somehow my email clients started using a blocked port to try and send out email info. The only way they know of to fix is to erase the account and start a new one. with gmail the only way to do that is to hard reset. So I made a nandroid, did a factory wipe, and tried that. When trying to create a new account I get the message that the mobile network is not available and to try using wifi instead. (This leads me to believe that the blocked port theory is probably correct)

So... how do I get my email accounts using a different not blocked port?

Clearing data and cache in gmail and gmail storage under manage applications seems to have cleared this up. At the least, temporarily.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] banderberg:
I believe I understand how to convert the hex values in board-sholes.c to their corresponding voltage.

(decimal value) * 12.5 + 600 mV so stock 550 mhz kernel runs at 1300 mV.

What I don't know is how to set voltage for higher frequencies. If I want to add an option for 1200 mhz, what is an appropriate voltage? About all I know is that higher frequencies need more voltage.

My Droid seems to do well with low voltages so I would like to experiment and see how low I can take the voltage while maintaining stability.

Where are other developers finding this information? I've looked at the OMAP 3430 TRM as well as the TRM for the Cortex-A8 and I haven't found anything.

Any help I can get would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jul644:
you dont always need for voltage while over clocking, increassing voltage will let u push the cpu further but i would consider it risky for a passivly cooled system.

send a pm to this member miragu; http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2497555

as he has experence in over clocking droids and milestones
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] greg_mp:
Actually omap3430 is sold for running@600Mhz with 1.2V, but it mainly depends on IR drop between the voltage provider and the voltage at the omap3430 boundary. I'll do some test on my milstone.

Actually it works well @800Mhz with a voltage value of 50 (1.225V)...

Hi i am new to android and just started using ADW launcher.

i apologize in advance if this is a dumb question but i have tried searching to no avail.

I just installed ADW launcher on my htc evo and is working great. However i have a question. Is there anyway to put the app drawer into the dock? It seems redundant to have the dock and then the separate thing for the lab/rab and app drawer. I am just trying to minimize the number of screen taps/flicks and would love to be able to launch the app drawer from the dock rather than having the swipe up/down to go from the dock to the app drawer etc

thanks again

heatbball
[Android Apps and Games] k1sr:
Two Options...

1. Don't use the dock bar (close it in settings)

2. Don't open the dock bar before trying to open the app drawer
[Android Apps and Games] mdneilson:
You could also bind it to a button or a gesture in adw setting > system settings.

[EVO 4G General] MooShoo480:
Thanks a lot! That did it. Now I just need to find someone to that has it to try this thing out.
[EVO 4G General] hchavarria:
Works pretty good. I tried it with my wife and it's great. Fring does the same thing but I find Qik to be better since myncall always dropped with Fring and the audio was always distorted.

are they in california or the west coast somewhere?

I emailed them a couple of hours ago, asking for them to verify, but still no response..

I guess I need to learn some patience maybe? :p
[Windows Mobile] l3v5y:
As a follow on from this (well worth the read if you feel like it), I've got a working set of tools that can build a cab.pkg for addon packages (there's some more detail here).

It's not perfect at the moment, but should be improved in the near future.

Let me know if anyone is interested, and I'll put up some more details!
[Windows Mobile] Emrulez:
Sure, if you can tell whats possible and how its made possible :p
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Thats a good break through...sure we are interested..:D
[Windows Mobile] l3v5y:
What's possible (theoretically) is patching and updating files in a ROM without needing a hard reset, and without touching the user data. what's possible right now is adding files that will persist a hard reset.

What's needed is a slightly modified IMGFS building tool that puts free space at the end (some IMGFSFromDump versions do this, and libnb should do that), a tool to make MNGEs from modules (libnb does that) and a tool to build DSMs and cab.pkgs (libnb + some MS utils).

You also need to modify defaultcerts.dat, but tool exists for that.

As a chef, you lose the ability to remove the ULDR, and there may be some space wasted on device depending on the updates used, but how many people run out of space on device these days?

I'll upload some things tomorrow so it can be tested.

Hello,

This is a dead easy fix to get tethering working completely with android-wifi-tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/):

UPDATE

New development version has support for this rolled in, instructions are no longer necessary:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_2-pre14.apk&can=2&q=

Steps:

1. Open adb shell (start cmd.exe, run "adb shell")

2. Issue the following commands:

- "mkdir /sdcard/android.tether"

- "cat /etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_ap.bin > /sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin"

3. Download and install the android-wifi-tether application, start tethering.

Your log from android-wifi-tether should look like the attached image.

Happy configuration free tethering!

NOTE: This works because of the two separate firmwares that HTC has included in /etc/firmware. One is specific for AP-mode and must be more open to this kind of stuff. The original bug stemmed from the usual firmware dropping ARP requests pretty consistently, possibly as a powersaving measure.

The second firmware is loaded using the firmware_path option when loading the bcm4329.ko kernel module.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fdot:
anyone else confirm this working please.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mbressman:
I confirm this working...
[EVO 4G Android Development] andrew500:
You will need to have root to run the app of course but 2 or 3 people have confirmed it on bug 362 already on the google project.
[EVO 4G Android Development] motox502:
Not working for me :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
AWESOME!!!

actually i ever use wifi tether but this is pretty cool because it actually worked. i know on the heroC we had issues with wifi tether all of a sudden not wrking after 2.1. nice to see that its been fixed. good work spreading the word ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] fdot:
ya. it will get SU permissions,

i can find the connection.

i connect to it. but no data transmitting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
would be cool if someone can confirm 4g is able to be tethered.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcmtnbkr:
same here. any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cordy:
Not confirming but based on what I read harry_m stated the wifi tether app uses the current connection, so in theory if you switch between 3g and 4g the app will switch accordingly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] goodfellaslxa:
i can confirm

I originally flashed with toast's rom. Used the recovery .bat to install Flipz's stock root rom.

I then flashed toast's radio rom.

wifi tether did NOT work.

I then performed the above instructions, and viola, it works fine. (i am posting via wifi tether)

I want to thank everyone who is hard at work on these projects, you guys are awesome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] andrew500:
Check that the log screen looks exactly like mine does. Did you get any errors when you issued the adb commands?

Look on your sdcard for the android.tether folder and see if fw_bcm4329.bin file exists there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] finebrian224:
It should work according to one of the comments given about the issue. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=362#c36

Because I am weary of rooting my phone not being able to return it to stock, I am gonna try it with the unrevoked root first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fdot:
i followed this same exactly.

no errors in adb.

and the .bin file is sitting in the directory.

and the log looks like yours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
running toasts ROM

can't get this to work

followed instructions, and when i click on the tether button it instantly says: unable to start tethering, please try again!

log screen is completely blank

any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] andrew500:
I meant the screen in android-wifi-tether, does it look like the screen cap I included? It should have a debug line about the loaded firmware on the first item.

- Didn't see the edit you made with that screen:

Have you done the OTA update? Could be the SD card bug possibly. The log screen shows it didn't load the external firmware.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jigglywiggly:
"Unable to start teterhing try again"

[EVO 4G Android Development] wcasdf:
When i send command

[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmomoman:
I have done the OTA update. Ran the revoked root method and it's running perfectly fine on both 3G and 4G. My 3G speeds today are beating my 4G speeds now. I was getting about 4.5Mb with 4G but today its been around 1.2Mb while my 3G is getting around 1.8-2.1Mb. Strange. They must be testing it or throttling it for some reason.

I am connected to the wireless tether now.

nice :)

Thank you for the update!
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
do you have to be running unrevoked for this to work?

it can't even OPEN a log file for me... also, which version of android-wifi-thering are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] andrew500:
You definitely do, android-tether-wifi requires it.

To all the people with sdcard issues: reboot your phones! This is the sdcard bug and it is annoying!
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
Confirmed working. I'll test 3g vs 4g tether when I get back into the city this evening.
[EVO 4G Android Development] goodfellaslxa:
I am not using unrevoked.

I did not apply the OTA update.

I am not using the included SD card (using a 16gb)

I am not in a 4g area, so I can't test the 4G radio.

I am using the latest version of 2.0.2-pre13 of wifi tether.

I am merely running flipz root, with the radio update.

To run the instructions I put the EVO in USB debug. Opened Superuser (not sure if that's necessary), and then ran the instructions through ADB. I don't know what I'm doing, just following the instructions of the developers.

I don't know if it matters at all, but i did install the wifi binaries used for wifi analyzer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmomoman:
I am running 2.0.2-pre13 of the wifi-tether.

I followed the instructions and it worked. I was already running the wired-tether so having this was not that big of a deal but its cool to get it working.

Now for HotSpot :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] finebrian224:
I just power cycled the phone. I still cannot access the sdcard. Permission denied to "mkdir" and "cd." Do i need to unmount the sdcard in the android OS.

I am running Windows 7 x64.

installed unrevoked.apk

Superuser permissions app reports unrevoked.

adb devices lists the phone.

Windows explorer can see my sdcard as a drive, but it cannot open it.

I have not installed the OTA.

Any more ideas or comments?
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
alright installed unrevoked -- tethering starts, but its missing the first line in your screenshot. i can connect, but no internet.

i know im not having any sd card problems, what else could it be? :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] eme82:
This worked perfect. I am running wireless_tether_2_0_2-pre13 on a modded version of Fresh's stock.

[EVO 4G Android Development] chippillie:
No you have to have root does not have to be unrevoked you can use toast's method with a custom rom just to clear that up.Thanks for the good find andrew500
[EVO 4G Android Development] andrew500:
Hello,

Sd card problem is most likely, I would ensure the file is where it says it is and that you are using the latest pre13 version of wifi-tether.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fdot:
that may be. But I figured mine out. Im still on stock ruu no ota, working now. Im a newb and forgot I had the market vs of android tether and not the latest from the dev page. Lol /facepalm

[EVO 4G Android Development] finebrian224:
I have gotten it figured out. When connecting to Win7 x64, Windows would ask do I want to open the sdcard as a drive. Windows found the sdcard and caused it to become unmounted. I couldnt stop windows from doing this. But by disconnecting the drive in windows and then going to the PC Connection options and saying charge only, I was able to get Android to remount the sdcard.
[EVO 4G Android Development] andrew500:
Just to let you know the native wired tethering will not work. HTC has done some bad mojo where it now changes your apn information, preventing you from getting a free ride, it will work most likely with the $30 fee.

I don't think anyone has even begun to think about circumventing this.

1) It won't start wi-fi tethering "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!"

2) When I go to look at the log files I get "Unable to open log-File!"

[EVO 4G Android Development] Kykiskly:
Nice

Pretty easy. Thanks for the post and the guidance. I believe they should tell for whoever is trying the first time that they should ADB the commands prior downloading the APK. Reason why I suggest this is because I had Wireless T. installed and not until I uninstall and ADB, then re-install, nothing worked. I guess those binaries codes play a role when you first launch the APP.

Thanks anyway :D

Ok, I think somehow for those who aren't able to access the log, it's a permissions issue. So somehow we aren't rooted. I guess a good way to make sure you're rooted is to use the "unrevoked" apk for now. Although, I think I'll wait till toast posts his .6 rooted recovery zip!
