[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpavey:
I recently installed the EzHero 5.1 ROM. I'm having problems with GPS. Google Maps can't work out where I am, nor can Google Places or the built-in weather widget, and I even installed an app called GPSTest to be sure, and that too seems not to have any reading. So I'm pretty sure GPS is not working. I can see the little satellite icon flashing in the top bar from time to time, but my phone doesn't seem able to determine my location.

I've enabled GPS (and not network-based location) in Location, I've enabled location sharing in Privacy, and I've enabled handset location sharing in Settings on www DOT google DOT com.

Could this be a problem with the EzHero ROM? Should I try installing e.g. VillainROM 12? I tried searching the forum but can't even locate the thread where I downloaded the ROM from just last week any more (following the link from Google suggests the thread has been removed!?), let alone any more detailed information :confused:

Thanks for any pointers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpavey:
Well, I have now got GPS working. What a cool technology! :) I've changed two things:

1. Updated to the latest radio

2. Changed location -- am now in my house on the second floor, rather than on the eighth floor of my office building (both in central London).

I don't really understand why either of these would have any effect, and in terms of location, I'm pretty sure I tried using it outdoors and in other locations before. So could it have been the radio??

The weather widget still says it has no weather available. Oddly, though, the one thing that has known my location all along is the Weather Channel widget, and that works just fine....!
[General Questions and Answers] colgate13:
How do these online phone unlocking businesses work? Do they all have subscriptions to some database? I heard that the codes they give you originate with the manufacturer. How does the database provider get the codes then? What is preventing anyone from starting an unlocking business or just giving out the codes for free?
[General Questions and Answers] Crippius:
I am asking myself the same question!!!

How is it possible that there are hundred of websites making money out of this service, which should theoretically not be allowed otherwise there would be no reason to restrict a specific phone usage to a certain network.

Who is behind this business ? Manufacturers, Network providers, or both?

How could those websites provide codes without receiving information from Manufacturers/Providers ?

And if they don't receive any information, how is it still not possible to unlock phones for free ?

:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pwntatochips:
Bought a phone, unlocked, Energy GTX. I rather want to put Cookie's Energy. So Do I have to go through ALL the steps to get it? Also would Hard Reset remove all the already downloaded applications and or remove my unlock?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 3|Saint|5:
You can just flash the new rom. When you flash, everything you installed will be wiped. You'll have to reinstall them. Your phone will stay unlocked till you relock it yourself. Energy uses XDA_UC that can automate the process of reinstalling everything you had after a flash. So you should look up on how you should set that up to make flashing roms easier for you.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ladiesgod:
I've got launcher pro installed and all I did was select a setting under preferences from the home screen in the Launcherpro settings to restore back to its defaults. As soon as I did it asked me to restart. I selected to restart later and then it just started giving me this error:

The application Launcher Pro (process.android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Dumpstate_app_201007291243_android_process_acore. Log has been saved. Use *900# to copy out log.

This error keeps coming one after the next. I can't do anything on my phone.

I searched everywhere online and the solution is "HARD RESET YOUR PHONE".

I called ATT cust support and they DON"T KNOW how to do it w/out going through the UI.

Everywhere online says hold the down button and power on while holding down. I tried that and it does NOTHING.

Somebody please help?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ladiesgod:
I don't understand why I can't even get to the factory reset menu at least?

I get all my notifications and everything. I can access anything that pops into my notification tray. It get's interuppted by the launcherpro error message but I can kind of plow through it but I can get to the messages application if there's a message in my notification tray or an email. Can I somehow get to the reset menu from that tray?

I can't access any settings normally because settings run off the home screen and my home screen is unavailable due to the launcher pro widget. I just got this phone...this SUCKS.

I can also access the phone through mass storage. I new to droid so I can't brainstorm any ideas.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
Try this.

1. remove your battery wait a few seconds and replace it

2. hold down the up and down volume buttons and the power button until the att screen loads on the screen

3. make sure that reboot system now is highlighted (use the power buttons to move) and press the power button

That should reboot your system. If that doesn't work try repeating step 3 but select delete all user data instead.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rajendra82:
If launcherpro is crashing, why not go to appbrain on a computer and give the command uninstall it there. In between the crashes, I am sure the phone will get the command and do the deed. Once done, reboot the phone and either TouchWiz should launch, or the screen that tellls you to select default launcher will come up, and allow you to select TouchWiz. Worth a shot I think.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ladiesgod:
So hold down and up simultaneously? along with the power button?

Do I hold these down until the reboot menu appears? or do I have to hold all three until a specific point during the phone boot then let go?

I've never heard of appbrain but I will check it out and try it if the reset doesn't work still. Thank You!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ladiesgod:
I tried holding up and down and power and it sent me to the menu Thank You!

the options are

reboot system now

reinstall packages

delete all user data

delete cach data

is this the stock menu? I was wondering if reinstall packages would correct the issue without erasing my data?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
I guess it wouldn't hurt anything to try. I would still try reboot system now first. If that doesn't work you may want to look into the appbrain solution posted above.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ladiesgod:
Hey thanks for all you guys help so far. I have a few pictures and videos I'm trying to pull off before I try the complete wipe. I'm going to look into the appbrain software. Will update.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rajendra82:
I think you may also need to add fast web installer to the toolchain. Get that on the phone first somehow if you need to (ADB install?).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
Have you tried the reboot system choice yet? That will not delete any of your data, but it may restart Launcher Pro so that it actually works.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ladiesgod:
Yes it didn't work. I tried to reinstall all packages but it's looking for some type of ".zip" file at the root directory.

I think it's because I rooted it to sideload, and so this is not the stock reboot menu.

I'm going to have to research to find out what I need to do from here. I'm a brand noob but I think I'm on the right path.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
No, that is the correct reboot menu. The reinstall packages searches for update.zip in the root of the sd card, that is how you rooted the device. At this point I would suggest trying the Appbrain method and seeing if you can get that to work. I have never used it so I won't be much help there. If you can't figure that out deleting user data should fix your phone, but you will lose your data.

When you do get everything working I suggest you download rom manager from the market and making a backup of your ROM once you get everything working properly. That will enable you to use the reinstall packages choice to basically go back to a previous working version of your ROM.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aloant:
Maybe adb (in Android SDK) can be used to remove Launcher Pro?

adb uninstall com.fede.launcher

The only problem is, I think USB debugging mode must be on for this to work...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rajendra82:
If it's just pictures you are trying get, then go into mass storage mode, that you indicated you can do. Then take whatever you need off the phone and copy it to your computer. After that put the update.zip file found here onto the root of the internal sdcard. Disconnect the phone and reboot into recovery and apply the update.zip by reinstall packages. Once you get back up, do a factory reset and you will be back to a stock phone with root enabled. Either this, or get your pictures off the phone and then reflash with Odin3 One Click Downloader.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ladiesgod:
This is what happened. I guess pics/videos are saved to the SD card by default. I found them all there.

So I installed the update.zip file on my device.

I reinstalled packages. Everything went back to normal. A lot of my data was saved too!

I went to the market to download the Rom Manager and had issues. No matter how many apps I tried to download from the Market it stalled at "Starting Download". The ones I paid for said "installed" still.

I did a factory reset through the GUI. It worked. I can download now.

I entered the market with my known google username/password. I tried to reinstall ALL my paid apps. They no longer are marked "installed" but appear as if I did not pay.

Now I'm STUCK on how to get my paid apps back! Namely Rom manager PREMIUM for starters. There's no code or serial to enter. Is there a way to get this back w/out paying for it again?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rajendra82:
From the source:

http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=113410

It appears that you are following the steps. Is it possible you forgot your gmail sign in information and created a new account. A second factory reset may be needed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cliffgardner:
This is the same thing that happened to me. Hard reset fixed it.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] ladiesgod:
I'm all set, I used the WRONG account.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MSigler:
For future reference, you could have just removed launcherpro from adb.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
Not if he didn't have usb debugging turned on and had no way to access the menu.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Eddog4DROID:
I just used ADB to uninstall Launcher Pro and this worked like a champ. Thankfully USB debugging was enabled.

My LP error was on Start-up. Could do nothing to get in the phone. A Force Close Loop.

By the way, I know this is a Captivate forum. This tried worked on my Thunderbolt.

OPnce it´s unlocked it´s permanent, as I see you have a cooked ROM on it already so no need to repeat all the process, just flash your new ROM and voilla!

As for the apps a hard reset will wipe all on the device, but if you have your cab´s installation on your sd no prob

-pre4 is working great for me! You need root, but once the app loads, tap the middle of the wireless symbol (you should get an SU prompt) and connected my computer. Posting this from my netbook tethered to my Vibrant with this app.

Hmm... disabling tethering gives me a screen with on and off icons and a message saying that the phone's state is unknown and I should try rebooting. :) It's working fine though, I connected back up to the wifi network here and all is well.
[Vibrant General] Yellow C6:
same here. :( I just rooted too mainly to use this app.

Well it is a pre - but i had the same problem on pre3 but not more on this pre4.

Pre5 works for me. Can stop and restart tethering without having to restart.
[Vibrant General] Arr MiHardies:
This us what I'm seeing on pre 5. I found that when it says phone state unknown with the on and off icons that tethering is still active as the ap still shows up in my wifi network list.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I take it you'd need to root first before using this app? Wasn't sure since you don't have to root with pdaNet.
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
We have three Vibrants and the app worked fine on two of them. However, my wife's phone would lock up when trying to start tethering. We also noticed her phone was generally slower than our other two Vibrants. We returned the phone yesterday and exchanged it, but I haven't tried tethering with the new one. My wife wants to use it for a while without rooting it.

[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
I have a rooted Vibrant. Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong? I am using the default settings with no encryption. The phone seems to work and the computer (XP Pro) recognizes the SSID as "computer-to-computer" network, but it never is able to connect after taking a long attempt - "waiting for network..."

I have tried everything from changing the SSID to restarting the phone. The computer just can't connect. Also, after changing the SSID, now both SSIDs (including the old one) appear, which is weird.

Also, the log does not show any errors. It marks everything as "done."

i have a bell samsung vibrant and it has a built in wireless tethering option. It can be accessed within the Wireless Settings under Mobile AP.

Do you folks not have that option?
[Vibrant General] xarth:

[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Nope. The US carriers remove that. Do you guys have a stock ROM dump you can point us to? Some of us in the dev section are working on it but haven't been able to get all the libraries and such figured out. A Vibrant ROM might be easier to find the differences we need to copy over.
[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
I just don't understand it. There are a lot of people here who claim their tethering works "perfectly." Why don't you guys please come back here and post exaclty what you did and what your system setup is? I mean it's not like we have different phones. If it worked for ANYONE it should work for everyone else. I am sure your help will be really appreciated by the users. Right now I don't know if this is a phone issue or a windows issue, so please also tell us what OS you have on your computer and how you connected to your phone. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
i just installed this right now.

wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk

Downloaded to my phone and installed just fine.

Opened up the app and let it install itself.

Tried turning it on (with wifi disabled) and it failed. In the log, it said it failed to load the wifi driver, failed activating wifi interface, and failed setting ad-hoc mode.

Turned on wifi, tried turning it on again, and it worked fine.
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
Using the pre7 release of Wifi Tether for Root Users, mine works no problem with my Win7 64 laptop. I get no errors or FCs.
[Vibrant General] Astitious:
Pre5 is the only version that works for me. Make sure to reboot your phone between installing different versions.
[Vibrant General] shootr:
I installed pre8 yesterday, and have basically run it since installation with ~400 mb downloaded. It's very stable for me. I am in a fringe reception area, so the phone waffles between 2g/3g with annoying hiccups, but that's the phone not the tether.

I'm running Win7 x64 on my laptop. I did have to update the Intel drivers for my wireless chip (5300 AGN series) to get it to work. The Vibrant is just rooted stock, with some bloatware removed.

I can make calls, plug/unplug usb cable, run adb, etc. with no problems. I've used open, WEP, and supplicant to connect. I currently use supplicant and MAC filtering (access control).

If you're having problems I'd say it's probably a computer issue, and I'd look at the drivers first. It certainly could be a software conflict with something on the phone, though.

Oh, and it works fine (for me) with wifi turned off on the phone. In fact, I haven't turned wifi on since installing it. If I check in the notification panel, it says right now that wifi is off (bug?).
[Vibrant General] Wes33:
Wow this is suh-weet! I just installed pre8 and i'm posting this comment over the wifi tether on my laptop!
[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
Thanks a lot for the responses. I am also beginning to think that this is purely a computer/OS issue. Now I have to run over to the Lenovo or XP tethering forum and find out what's up there. You see, this is why I hate when the top of the line technology we get does not work out of the box. Why do we have to spend hours researching this stuff after getting a $500 phone? I have heard that with Android 2.2 all this tethering will be standard.

If anyone has recommendations for XP, let me know. I'll try that one suggestion about upgrading my wireless driver.

P.S.: The wireless card I have is Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN. The more details we have about hardware and software, the more helpful the information will be.
[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
F*king XP!

Ok guys, I am online using tethering!

I'll write a short troubleshooting guide here:

Download the most recent driver here (it is the topmost one)

Open the application on your phone. See if there are any errors. If you did not see any errors, go to Settings-->Show Log and make sure that everything says "Done." If there are any errors, simply restart your phone and try again. If you still see errors after restarting, something isn't right. Try installing a different version of the app.

Make sure all the default settings are in effect in the app (don't enable encryption, etc, until you establish that it is working)

Now if tethering has no errors on your phone, your computer must detect the network. Double click on it to connect. It should work.

If it doesn't work, first restart your phone again. And second, go online and download the most recent driver for your Wireless Adapter. To find out which version you have in XP, go to Control Panel-->Network Connections-->right click on Wireless Network Connection and go to Properties. In the General tab your Adapter will be listed. Simply copy and paste it into Google and you'll be taken to the driver. For example, this is the site for Intel Adapters.

After you download the .exe file, simply double click on it to install.

If you have followed all the steps above, your tethering should work now.

I would add that as a last resort, you can also try Repairing your wireless connection (go to the Wireless Network Connection icon mentioned in step 5, right click on it, and select "Repair").

Whew. I hope that this helps at least some people. XP users anyway.
[Vibrant General] gregc2009:
I just want to say thanks for this app. It is very nicely designed and is just "how it should be". The only option I would add is the ability to kick people. Was at a campground a month ago with an N900 tethering and had a couple leachers. Could watch them through their camper window. They had a dumbfounded look when their "free" internet just stopped working. Quite entertaining!!

Thanks again!!
