Updated my stock 2.1 DX today with new 2.2, rooted, loaded titanium backup, cleaned up some bloat and loaded wireless tether. All is good, the phone works great! Went to use wifi tether and hooks up great to laptop with full signal, but here the kicker, tether doesnt connect to 3g, so no internet. Any idea's? :confused:
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
Are you using the 3G mobile hotspot or a Tethering App from the market or something
[Droid X General] AMCpo:
I'm running Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre9.
[Droid X General] giventofly17:
I'm having the same problem. running the same version of wireless tether. I didn't remove any bloatware or anything, I just have the apps hidden using launcher pro, so basically stock. Worked fine before update.
[Droid X General] Venc:
I didn't know they had a DX working version, it doesn't show in their website. Is it ad-hoc or real wifi hotspot?
[Droid X General] curney:
2.2 messes withe the settings. Try Barnacle. There is a extra setting it has for 2.2.
[Droid X General] Pitnefor:
do you have access control enabled?
[Droid X General] AMCpo:
Yep I changed the access setting and no go. Then I removed it and loaded barnacle and had the same issue.
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
Barnacle worked for me on 2.1 but not on 2.2. What is this "setting for 2.2" that makes barnacle work?

Wireless Tether for Root (by Muller) works for me on 2.2. But the connection is very much hit and miss. I end up using Easy Tether (usb) 90% of the time. I wish I could find a way to keep the connection more stable. Bc wireless is just easier.

I seem to remember having to do something with my connection settings on my computer a long time ago to enable ad-hoc connections when I first started tethering on WinMo with the HTC tether. Sorry I can't remember now.
[Droid X General] Alpha Axl:
Having the same issue here with Barnacle after 2.2 update. =(
[Droid X General] Pink_Panther2121:
I just rooted my DX 2.2 and I'm using Wireless tether version 2.0.2 I downloaded this morning from the market and I'm using my iPad and laptop off of it right now. But barnacle isn't working for me tho.
[Droid X General] InfamousDX:
I notice a lot of people are having issues. I'm not (on leaked 2.3.15) but I am on an older version... 2.0.2
[Droid X General] Pink_Panther2121:
I should be more clear, I'm on the ota release of 2.2 with the 2.0.2 version of wireless tether.
[Droid X General] benlane:
DL OTA, rooted with Droid 2, installed Koush Clockwork and Recovery, then installed Free Wifi Tether. Ran Speedtest at 1.1 M download. I'd say NPs here. Just my 2 cents
[Droid X General] b1tz3r:
Used Barnacle with 2.1... up'd to the leaked 2.2 and Barnacle stopped working. Wireless Tether (from the market) works fine, but not if I'm using Access Controls (which seems to be the general state of that app right now).
[Droid X General] maidguitar:
I know I'm awfully late to the game, but if I root and tether like you guys are, Verizon can't tell? I won't get the extra charge for tether service? Sorry for the noob question.
[Fascinate General] aloa64:
I saw a thread on this for the Vibrant but that method doesn't seem to work for the Fascinate.

On the G1 you could hold down the call+Menu+hangup and it would reboot.

On the Vibrant you apparently can hold the power button down for 10+ seconds and it reboots.

Anyone know what it is for the Fascinate?
[Fascinate General] bomber889:
if it takes 10+ seconds to reboot wouldn't it just be faster to turn it off then back on?
[Fascinate General] aloa64:
well if your phone freezes it's much easier to hit a combo of buttons instead of pulling the battery. and if it freezes u wouldn't be able to reboot normally. plus it's much quicker when you're installing roms as it's an instant reboot and doesn't have to kill everything
[Fascinate General] Teksu:
if it freezes whats to say the button combo would work either? seems like if the normal shutdown and boot up isnt working your best real option is to remove the battery.
[Fascinate General] chronster:
why the hell don't we have a reboot option when we hold the power button down?

Is there a way to add that?
[Fascinate General] aloa64:
On the G1 if it froze, the button combo did a reset. No need to pull battery :D I liked that feature a lot.
[Fascinate General] OneAn9ryN00b:
When I used to have my BlackBerry there was a key combo to reset it. Wish my Fascinate had one too. Then again, I dont usually have to reset my Fascinate as often as I did my BB.

Hello all

well i wanna know that is it possible to use my mobile as a big flash drive without using kies?

as many times i need to plug the mobile in different PCs and it is not possible to install kies on all of the the PC

so is there any application available which can help me out

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okpc:
You can, go to setting under about phone, select mass storage. The only let down is you need samsung driver, which u can download it on softpedia
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jark99:
Enable usb debugging and plug usb into BACK PANEL of motherboard to recogonise.......or go to settings and use which way to connect when usb is plugged in, should give a mass storabe option
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testulous:
To use as mass storage - I use mine with Linux, for example:

Settings -> About phone -> USB Settings

CHOOSE "MASS STORAGE" HERE

Then, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development

ENABLE "USB DEBUGGING" HERE

Then to use the internal storage, plug into your computer. On the Galaxy, you should see a notification "USB Connected". Use the pull-down notification bar at the top to see this.

Click on "USB Connected" in the notifications list. You should be given the option, "Mount".

Click on the "Mount" button and your computer will find the Galaxy's internal flash memory. Now you can drag/drop files without using the ****ty Samsung drivers.

Confirmed working on Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP.
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
One thing I've found that helps, is I kinda ignore if it shows up in Downloads in the market after a restore. I check for updates using AppBrain app, it finds all the apps on the phone whether they're in the market or not. Then, whenever an app is updated, it directs you to the market download page. If the market link was broken, that will say "Install" instead of "Update", but an install at that point will update properly, and you'll now have a working market link.

The main goal of having apps show up in the market, IMHO, is updates and uninstalls. Use the system uninstaller rather than the market for uninstalls, and use AppBrain to find updates. Works for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Thanks a lot for putting this up! I was banging my head against the wall last night, as I ran into this issue again and couldnt remember how I fixed it on my G1
[Vibrant Android Development] Argusi:
yw :)

I rarely uninstall via market. Have an app that throws me straight to the system uninstaller from the apps icon. I like appbrain, but it exhibits the same issue as the Market for me as far as detecting installed apps in some cases. I use the Market for updates and it works fine for me as long as the apps are linked. I think it has something to do with the hash getting messed up in the assets.db :)

[Captivate General] dabuddha:
So I have one of the bricked phones post GPS update. I went to the store, the guy I talked to thought I was an idiot and it just needed a charge, which it didn't, and then referred me to the AT&T Device Support Center. So I called that number which then transferred me to the AT&T Android Specialist Team who then said that Samsung has a fix (which got my hopes up) and redirected me to Samsung. The Samsung rep was clueless and then transferred me to the Tier 2 Galaxy S CS Department and this lady said that Samsung has no responsibility for the update bricking my phone and that any official update will be on the Sumsung website and that this is AT&T's problem. She then went to say I can either go back and talk to AT&T or have send in my phone to Samsung and have them reflash it. I'm past my 30 days to return the phone and wondering what I should do at this point. Any suggestions would be great.

(oh and one of the reps kept asking if it was the 2.2 update bricking my phone...which I'm guessing implies that froyo is out? or she's a total moron)

Update: Called ATT warranty center again and got them to send me another phone. Reconditioned w/o back case or battery (is that normal?) and the guy was nice enough to waive me priority shipping. Name was John Perez sounded Indian, but he wasn't too bad. Supposedly the phone will have the GPS fix pre-installed on it from my understanding of what John said. Will continuing update how the phone turns out if anybody is curious :p
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Go to an ATT store or call ATT support and threaten to cancel if they don't give you a new phone on the spot. ATT seriously screwed up and I think that by now, they realize it.
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
Hey, you posted while I was updating :p but that's what I did.
[Captivate General] rahlquist:
Yes, a refurbished unit usually comes with no battery sim or battery cover.

I keep hearing that samsung is telling folks to not take the ota update. How are we supposed to update? Kies is not released for the usa.
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
Can someone tell me what Kies and OTA are?

According to the Samsung rep I talked to, the only official updates from them are on there website and things pushed on air are from AT&T and not Samsung's problem.

Oh and thanks for confirming my refurb question! :D
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
I went in to the store, told them the phone bricked during the OTA update. After he saw nothing happened when he plugged into the charger of PC, he replaced my phone with a new Captivate.
[Captivate General] Roxy:
Were you within 30 days or past it?
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Within. Although he stated he would do a 'courtesy' for me to exchange since at first he though I was out of the 30 days.
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
If you were outside of your 30 days...I'm jealous...
[Captivate General] geniusxsy:
me too...

I bought it on Aug 20th... They told me to drive half hour to warranty center to get replaced. I went there and was told they had to fedex me a refurbed phone body...
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
The warranty stores around me don't service the Captivate so I didn't have a choice but to do it over the phone.

You could probably argue to at least get free faster shipping if they're offering anything slower than 2-3 day shipping
[Captivate General] Archpope:
OTA = Over The Air.

Kies = Samsung software used for interfacing your phone to your PC. Personally, I uninstalled it after a very short time because I found it to be useless, however, others on these forums like it a lot, so YMMV. Not to be confused with drivers, Kies is a front end UI, kinda like iTunes, but if someone here uses it or likes it more than I do, feel free to correct me.
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
So got my replacement phone, the battery was completely dead when I put it in (was at 90% when the phone bricked). So imo the screwed up update discharged my battery and may have shorted something in the phone itself. Thoughts?
[Captivate General] sayurann:
how is the replacement phone, is the refurbished phone works like a champ without any scratches/dings?
[Captivate General] Main Target:
My replacement phone (unrelated issue) came back looking brand new.

I am not so sure they are refurbed...not yet at least.
[Captivate General] grmcgee:
Same here. The JH7 update bricked my Captivate. After the OTA download, the update started, then said "update failed. Your phone will now boot." But the screen went black, and boot never completed. Phone would not power on, and I tried two different charged batteries. Phone was stock -- not rooted, no side loaded apps, no mods at all other than market apps.

AT&T store was nice, but would not replace my phone on the spot because I was outside 30 days. AT&T warranty is sending me a replacement. The replacement is supposed to have JH7 already installed.

Also, I just ordered an iPhone 4 on a separate contract through my company, primarily to get corporate Exchange email. I can get Exchange email to work on my Captivate, but I don't like how my company's Exchange security policy forces an unlock password on my personal Android phone. So I will use the Captivate for personal use and the iPhone for work for the time being. Now I can decide through actual use which phone I like better. Until recently I was a committed Windows Mobile user, but I decided very early that WM7 has some shortcomings that I cannot live with. Let the early adopters clean up WM7, and maybe I will try it at the end of my Captivate contract.
[Captivate General] smokestack76:
Its unreal all the issues from the first update for us. AT&T really botched this one. Makes me think unless samsung does something we are going to be left in the dark as far as updates go.
[Captivate General] sayurann:
yeah, we are exactly the same... got to 50%, update failed, and it died... and i was out of my warranty for 1 day! screwed.... the warranty can send me a replacement... and the samsung can reflush my phone.... i am now confused, should i send it to samsung or to att...

if i send it to att, i will get a refurb one, if i send it to samsung i got my same phone... i think i prefer to send it to samsung

edit:

btw, is it possible to see the internal memory card data and copy my data?
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
Phone is in better physical condition than my original lol

I'm assuming that JH7 comes from the last 3 characters of the baseband version in which case the phone was not updated. The GPS is better on this refurb than my original, albeit still spotty.

I was given those 2 options too, i chose to go with at&t and get a refurb. The Samsung rep I talked to also suggested that I go with the AT&T warranty first. And no I do not believe there is a way to copy your data off the bricked phone without physically taking it apart (which may void the warranty I dunno)
[Captivate General] sayurann:
why the samsung rep suggest to go with the att warranty? can you tell me?

also, we will get a "new" unit with different imei with my original box, if i want to sell my phone later, i cant do it...
[Captivate General] Konner920:
You guys are lucky to even get AT&T to replace your phone. I have to call Samsung tomorrow to get mine done. if they will even do it.
[Captivate General] sayurann:
good luck!

I just called them and go with the ATT as dabuddha said... hopefully it is in great condition with an updated OS...

I'm still curious why the samsung's rep told you to go with the "refurb" one first...

i choose ATT because the phone will be on my hand faster than if i choose to get it fixed through samsung...
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
She didn't give much of a reason and I didn't press her since I had 2 exams the next day to study for. IMO I think she was trying to get rid of me. Not to be offending, but she sounded like one of those black ladies who would rather just stare at her fancy nails than be of any assistance. But originally she said that the update causing my phone to break is AT&T's fault and I should go to them about it.

Three days after replacing the phone...I dropped it on concrete :( :( :( Just a few minor scratches though.
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
This is why I get phone insurance. It's only a few dollars a month. If my phone ends up bricked, through my fault or not, and I can't get them to replace it, I'll just "lose" it and pay the deductible to get a new one.
[Captivate General] sayurann:
the deductible is 125$ in my insurance for my captivate..

i didnt even broke my phone and I have to pay 125$ for ATT's fault? HELL NO!

and, I didnt even pay that much for my new phone when i signed a new contract...

@dabuddha

from asking to get a replacement until you actually get it, or it is shipped, how many days is it? i cant wait for my "new" phone to come..
[Captivate General] dabuddha:
Normally they ship first class (5-7 days), but the AT&T rep I talked to was nice enough to waive me free Priority shipping (2-3 days). I called in Wednesday night and had my replacement on Friday.
[Captivate General] sayurann:
ya, i asked them to get me shipped fast,and i will get mine tomorrow if fedex didnt screw it up..
[Captivate General] falabarce:
Check the forums...

There is a workaround for that...if you search correctly. I can't search for it for you otherwise, I'd help you out with the thread, but someone has written a workaround that doesn't require that additional Exchange policy lock. ;)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djstaid:
I recently created an ext4 partition and have been using A2SD. I was wondering how hard it is to create a widget that would show the available space of that mount point... or really any mount point.

My thought was that it really only takes a "df -ah" command to show them all and it would be cool to be able to select the mount point info via a widget or even a dialog box on widget tap.

I am no programmer at all so maybe I am asking about something that is insanely difficult, but I was hoping to find someone that could at least point me in the right direction. I messed around withe the App Inventor, but I am not sure what to call to get that info to display.

I did find some info though so I at least know what to look for...

Filesystem

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Size

915.1M

Used

67.0M

Available

799.3M

Use%

8%

Mounted

/system/sd

That is my mounted ext4 partition ...

So I have a program that actually detects and shows my mounted points inside the app... I have an app that will run cli commands and output to the screen or text. So displaying that info on a widget can't be impossible. I emailed the dev for Mini Info and he/she said that adding ext4 isn't possible because there is no API currently for that. This may be true, but can someone explain how hard this would be or point me to some resources so I can figure it out?

I attached some screenshots as references as well... thanks all

[Fascinate Android Development] mackeydesigns:
So today was fun, after seeing mixed reports of people downloading and successfully installing the Verizon update, I tried.

It worked, then my phone went into a reboot/recovery loop, then just stopped loading. I did a factory wipe restore in the recovery menu, then did a factory data reset in the setting menu.

Reloaded all my crap back on, and now here comes the issue. Superuser still shows in the menu, but when i try to remove the files via the ABD commands, I can't, I get permission denied.

I can't get Root Explorer to work because I've obviously not rooted anymore.

So what are my options, because my phone isn't rooted, even though the root files are still in place and I can't update and/or modify those.

Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate Android Development] OneAn9ryN00b:
Im gonna take a stab at this because im still a n00b myself on this android stuff, but i had similar problem with wireless tether.

When you updated it removed root access, but not any programs(hence you have no permissions, but still su program), so what your probably gonna have to do re-root the same way you did earlier, I actually had to re-root twice in order to get root access, because the first time it hung. Now after you get root access, you should be able to remove root through the command.

Hope this helps
[Fascinate Android Development] WillisD:
Have you tried just deleting the files from your memory card? I unrooted once and still had the SU app showing in my app drawer. I deleted it from memory card and it dissappeared. I think it was like 4 or 5 files just delete them and reroot.
[Fascinate Android Development] mackeydesigns:
Tried it. Don't have permission to overwrite the existing files :/
[Fascinate Android Development] mackeydesigns:
FIXED!

So I had previously tried to re-apply the root with no success, but for whatever reason, decided to do it one more time, and it worked!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] gettinback:
After installing CM6, I cannot get my exchange account setup. I get a bad username and password message, but am absolutely certain this information is correct. I know from previous setup experince that this error message can be generic with other problems being the culprit. One difference I see in the setup with CM6 is that there is no option to eave the domain blank/empty. My hosted exchange server service tech support recommends leaving this blank if it fails to sync, however, the "Next" button is grayed out and can't be selected until something is enterred. Don't know if this is causing the problem, but have never had this type of problem with several other handsets and OS's.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I encountered this same problem, and brought it up on the CM6 board without anyone responding.
