[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ungruntled:
You haven't told us much about how your PC/laptop connects to the Internet...

Via wireless? - > Connect the x10 to your wireless network

Via ethernet - > You might be stuffed

Via USB 3G dongle-thing -> Possible to connect a wi-fi access point to an ethernet port (with ICS enabled) and connect to that... or perhaps get another USB device designed to share that connection... I know they exist, there used to be something like that so Nintendo DS could share a connection from a PC.

But it's not really clear unless you tell us how your PC/laptop connect to the Internet.

I'd be careful too as I am on my wi-fi network but it frequently drops back to 3G. I'm on unlimited data (O2 UK) so it's not really a problem for me, but if I wasn't aI'd be caning that data usage...

Create a adhoc wireless connection on your laptop preferebly without any security then connect your x10 with the same connection

You will have to do the settings manually

Hope this helps.

Its true. I tried Xperia X10 with ad hoc network and it is not discovering the network. I am now unable to have wifi network for my xperia. I have belkin wifi usb adapter but I came to know that it is not compatible with connectify. My old wifi router is dead, I m struck with edge speed on my xperia.

Is there any way to use connectify with belkin wifi usb adapter? Or are there any other software that supports belkin to make wifi hotspot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojo1212:
x10 cant detect ad-hoc network, so its useless to create one

nexus 1 uses android 2.1

so there must be somethin different

btw , my phone is rooted
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel_GB:
i rooted my phone!and i use that site solution!you should edit this file:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel_GB:
i cant upload it,because you should edit this file Considering your ad-hoc connection name and it needs some setting to be activated!!!

i try to translate it if i can!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel_GB:
here you are:

!) well at first you need to create an ad-hoc(any name you can use for it, my ad-hoc name is xperia)

2) then sharing your internet on it!!

3) trun on your x10s wifi.

4) create a network on your x10 with the same name!!!(add Wi-Fi network)

5) turn off x10s wifi

6) go to data/misc/wif/

after you open wpa_supplicant.conf

you should see this text:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/

wpa_supplicant GROUP=system

update_config=1

network={

ssid="xperia"

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=NONE

}

change it like this:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/

wpa_supplicant GROUP=system

update_config=1

ap_scan=2

network={

ssid="xperia"

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=NONE

Look up a product called connectify. Its free, it turns your laptop into a wireless hotzone with pretty good protection. Use your wireless capacity on your x10 to route through your laptop. Connectify will allow you to share your ethernet lan, wireless, or wireless wan connection.

And no - I dont work for them - but I've used it everywhere - in hotels, in airports, in the office, at home, in client offices. The great part about it is if your laptop is allowed through - the X10 can then piggy back on that link.

And I need to use option No. 2.

Problem is, that I use internet in the company, that limits network access to your MAC. They don't let you use it on more then one device. Don't ask why - I tried to ask, and got 10 minutes long answer that actually did not have any sense. Changing MAC on their side every time is not an option. Actually changing it at all at this point is not an option.

So... I use WiFi access on my laptop, and I'd like to share it via bluetooth or USB to my X10 (android 2.1). I could do it on X1 (WM 6.1). I thought android is more advanced in matter of network connection handling.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyunyu:
Maybe you can try the adhoc fix that will let u use internet from your laptop. If you're using win7, install connectify and create a hotspot. Although u will need to connect lan cable to ur laptop.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpolanski:
Unfortunately I can connect to network only with WiFi, so laptop's card is already connected to company's net. I doubt you can use it for both connecting laptop to internet, and ad-hoc to the phone.

The only possibilities I can see is connecting phone to laptop via bluetooth or USB.

PS. System is Win7.

Hi,

I have this same problem. Use virtualrouter

"http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/"

It will created from your wifi card in notebook access point - and also share your current network (i am using same system at work).

After that but you must set-up on your phone fixed IP adress - through settings - wireless network - wifi settings - advanced settings - set up IP adress.

Hello Daniel_GB,

I have X10 with firmware version is upgraded to 2.1. I had rooted my x10 through z4root, now when i try to 'cat' wpa_supplicant.conf file which is located under /etc/wifi folder of my x10, i get only below output.

update_config=1

ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/

wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi

Am i looking at the correct file?

Now my 2nd problem is I am unable to edit this file or any file, it says "Read-only file system". Even though I have rooted my x10 through z4root.

Can you please suggest how to fix this issue?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzone1510:
Hi satti.umar, you are looking at the wrong file, the file you have to edit is under data>misc>wifi. It wont be visible or even editable with any file managers, I guess only 'Root Explorer' can see and edit it. If you are using root explorer then be sure that 'r/w' setting is selected on the top.

Well I maged to edit the file, even messed up my wifi once or twice in the process, (had to delete the file and thankfully it created a new blank working one, be sure to take a proper backup!) but still I couldn't get it to connect! It sees the network now and all I get is 'Obtaining ip address from xperia' It just gets stuck at that point.

I'm using windows 7 on the pc side and my wireless card is an intel 3945.

I also tried BZEEK, it worked fine but its of not much use to me as the signal strenght is very poor. I can hardly go 2 meters before I lose the signal!

Anybody got any ideas on how to get it to work?

hey guys i have an unlocked rooted nexus one and i know it suppose to void your warranty but my power button no longer works i use the trackball to wake the phone is there anyway you guys think htc will replace/repair the phone?
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
Usually if it's a hardware problem, they'd still honor the warranty even if you unlocked the bootloader. Try sending it in, see if they quote you anything.
[Nexus One General] ryanrhod:
I'm in the same boat as you, my power button JUST broke. I am also unlocked and rooted and have been using the trackball to wake the phone with a CM rom.

I called HTC today from a number on the google.com/phone site and had a really easy time talking to the representative. She said that it was a known issue from the first few batches of phones, and that they have corrected it with phones shipped since April. The issue of an unlocked bootloader never came up, and she said that when they inspect my phone they will look for user warranty voiding things like water damage or a cracked screen. I never mentioned that mine was unlocked. I do remember seeing other people at xda in this same boat getting their phones replaced or repaired under theses circumstances, so hopefully it still works.

Anyway I went ahead and set up a replacement and will get the replacement phone in the next few days and send mine back. I'm debating on whether to flash a stock, unrooted rom first, but I don't know if I can even do that because I can't use the power button while in the bootloader or recovery.

I bought a mytouch yesterday off craigslist, the kid said he had someone root it for him on 2.2

Before he gave it to me, he did a factory data reset to erase all his contacts, messages, info, etc. He gave it back to me and I had to set up the phone all over again (make a google account), so when I had that setup, I went to look up the phone info and saw that the firmware version was now 1.6.

Could this have caused it to unroot?

I called him and explained this to him and he told me he will pay me $15 and have the guy root it again for me.
[General Topics] htc420:
It still has the "Wireless Tether for Root Users" app

I've never owned an Android phone, I'm a bit confused as to what happened.
[General Topics] phatmanxxl:
It will not. Sounds like he flashed the stock/factory rom on it and not a typical wipe. Download the terminal and type su, if you get a # you got root. I bet he did it just to make a quick buck to re-root it for you.
[General Topics] htc420:
I went to DevTools and opened "Terminal Emulator"

I got a blue background and the following already there:

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$

I typed in su and nothing happened.

Is it supposed to say 2.2 on the firmware, or 1.6?

Oh well that kid will be paying himself to have that guy do it, I just gotta set up a time with him.

I'd try rooting it myself but it seems way more complicated than jailbreaking(used to have an iphone, it was pretty easy) and I don't want to risk bricking it.

since i want to keep android for an everyday build, im already starting to personalize it and installing apps and stuff. so my main question is once a new update for my build comes out, how can i update it without loosing all my customizations, contacts and such?

another question is that when in sleep mode, my HD2 seems to have a very very faint dark green tint to the screen which moves up the screen like a loading bar-ish. anyone know whats up with this?

also is there any way to make the ear piece speaker any louder? when in silence i can hear fine but when walking or busy area i can hardly hear anything.

I was messing around with ROM's one day and saw one that said, "Flash to 1.47 without having to reroot" or something along those lines. I tried it and it worked perfectly. Today I tried to undo the root and flash back to stock using the "[How To] [FIXED!!] Unroot and return to stock" post on Android Central forums.

However, halfway through the update, it fails. I want to return back to stock so I can flash the new Froyo update that is out but I don't know what I did so nothing will update.

I even tried to update directly to Froyo. No go.

I did a NAND restore to my 1.32 build. Still gives me an error.

Is there a way to go back to the Stock bootloader and stock recovery? Maybe that might help?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongalong:
I started using Tasker which has been fantastic. I also setup the juicedefender replacement profiles that enable/disable data and auto-sync as needed to conserve battery.

I notice that when auto-sync is disabled and then re-enabled that my phone will immediately begin syncing. Would it be better to keep auto-sync enabled at all times and toggle the data connection only instead of both? The phone shouldn't be able to sync without data and this way it shouldn't immediately begin to sync each time the screen comes on.

I suppose it could be setup this way so that you don't miss any data during a data:ON window. Would love to hear from someone with more knowledge on this.

Hey guys

I noticed that many people are asking around for a way to unroot their phones, and you hear alot about flashing back as a solution for unrooting, but for me that was abit not preferred. So here is a way to do it quick and soooo easy and you don't even need a computer to do it. We start:

1- From the android market download (Terminal emulator) and run it.

2- Once inside the shell type in these commands (you gotta press enter after each line)

su

rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk

rm -r /system/xbin/busybox

rm -r /system/bin/su

and Voila, your phone is now unrooted. needless to say that you should also uninstall the terminal emulator as well. Hope this is useful.

Thumbs up! Someone should have posted this quick and easy method earlier.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] orbi69:
Meaning we wont have any warranty issues with Samsung if un-root and send back to service center? Thnx.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mmthabet:
well, first of all you need to have the same stock rom shipped with the phone (or the officially upgraded one via kies). Then you should unroot it, then in recovery mode you need to clear cache and do factory reset. and format the internal storage (and of course remove SD card if any) then it will be in the same condition when it was shipped to you. Thats how you avoid trouble with the warranty before sending your phone back for service or replacement.
