Here is a question that is on/off topic. Does anyones wifi stay connected for longer than 5 minutes? I connected for a few minutes and get disconnected or I get .09kbs. This is with market "Wifi for Root" and with the native 3G.

If anyone knows a fix please share it.
[Droid X General] LexusBrian400:
Why are you using Wifi for Root? Cant you just use the native Wifi setup? I've never had any connect issues.

When I go into CW Recovery and follow the steps I can't find the patch zip file (I have blur). I only see the folders in the sdcard, and the file is there. Any ideas?

I already transfer the file (via bluetooth) twice to the SDcard

I notice the Droid X stock airplane mode widget works. No need for easy switch.

I have this same issue with WiFi root on the Droid 1 and now on the Droid X? I tryed everything I could and nothing works..
[Droid X General] unboostedzc:
^ same issue with barnacle wifi tether, it'll work fine for 10 mins or so then resets.
[Droid X General] adammsu:
So mine just works.....

I got the phone a week ago, and i tried out the native "hotspot" app to see if it would work, sure enough i got on and tried a few websites.

Bored at work, i tried it again today, and it worked fine. I do not have the "provision" paid service, nor have i tried any tricks.

(i do have the phone rooted, with a few random root apps and some bloat removed, like blockbuster and amazon, but no major changes from stock)

i even called verizon to make sure i hadn't triggered something... no usage listed.

any ideas why mine works without signing up and no tricks???
[Droid X General] sjsharks84:
Regarding the Rootless Mobile Hotspot, has anyone looked at using Mobile Data APN to disable and cycle the data connection? I wonder if that could be used since many free apps have that - like Quick Settings. It'd be great not to have to use EasySwitch.

No switching needed if you use the file from that link.

this works very good thanks for the 411
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
this works if you turn 3g hotspot on, go to a website on pc, gett he vzw signup page

then on ur phonee go to settings > wireless and networks then turn airplane mode on, then off

u should b able to browse on the pc then

So is the 3G HotSpot app the ONLY app that can make a Infrastructure connection?
[Droid X General] jayhammy:
Doesn't work on my rooted Droid Pro. :(

I'm very sad that since I went from my rooted Incredible running a custom ROM the Wireless Tether app works only on ad hoc. I was spoiled on the Incredible where it ran normally. It's a bummer on the Droid Pro!
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Can anyone verify that the easyswitch method still works after the 2.2.1 OTA update?
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
? Anyone?
[Droid X General] milan616:
One more thing for all the rootless guys. You could always root, bootstrap, do the nvram hack, uninstall bootstrap and uninstall root. The nvram hack survives everything but a baseband update I think, so you could even find a system only SBF and go back to rootless that way.
[Droid X General] cellzealot:
I posted files and screenshot instructions on MDW for doing the hack with RadioComm 11.11.7 which runs on Win7. That method works on any Droid device and has been tested on D Pro and D2Global.

Using RadioComm will always work. The update.zip may fail for a variety of reasons and does NOT work with the MDM6600 chipset on D2G and D Pro because the NV updater binaries are not compatible. Same for the D1 even though its the same baseband chipset as DX and D2. The NV updater binaries are device specific and are not always included in official OTA zips, only when specific NV items are updated for some reason. Normal baseband updates do NOT include the right binaries.

Hi there.

I have a Zenithink Epad with Android 2.1

But when i try to start it up, it shows = EPAD, then a little penguin i the top left corner, then black screen with the text ANDROID and a blinking _, like this;

ANDROID_

It used to start normally up and i could use it, but now its standing there (ANDROID_)

I have tried to reset, shut down, turn on 30 times, but it stil stops at the (ANDROID_) allso after ½ hour.

I have tried to install windows mobile device center, and windows activesync MSI, but it makes a falure on my computer (Windows 7).

When i connect my EPAD to my computer, my computer tries to install a driver, but i cant be installed.

I would love to have some kind of Windows on my EPAD... Maybee Windows CE 6 - or win 6,5 or so.

But what do i do now just to get my EPAD to turn on ?

Really hope you can help me ;)

[General Questions and Answers] Cujox7500:
All it does is turning on the screen, showing "EPAD" on the screen, turn black, then a little penguin in the left top corner, and then black screen again, then showing ANDROID_ and stands there.

Normally it would stand there for about 10 sec, and then show an Android screen with "browser", "skype" and so........... And just working fine

Zenithink firmware site

The best site by far to help you reload your Zenithink is www "DOT" zenithink "DOT" us. They have walk through manuals on how to update your firmware. You probably need to download the Android SDK package and use the drivers from there to recognize the Zenithink. If anyone finds info on Windows CE please post it.

Thanks and good luck.
[General Questions and Answers] Cujox7500:
Fine website, but no help.

Others have exactly the same problem as me, but there are no answers or solutions.

Have downloaded the Android SDK but can not get in touch with the Zenithink EPAD.

Do not know how I should do and drivers will not find

No matter what I try so it stands firmly on ANDROID_ on boot up

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nGoldenm:
Hi guys,

This has been giving me problems on every ROM that I've run, and I wanted to see if anyone could come up with a solution.

I am currently running CM6 on a Cellular South Hero.

When I leave my local calling area, I consistently lose my data connection. It shows as connected but does not let anything through. The upstream shows as active but nothing ever shows for downstream. Sometimes, disabling and then re-enabling it fixes the problem for a few minutes but it will always lose the connection again.

Any ideas to try?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/06/t-mobile-g2-review/

now that its officially released, engadget got a good look at it. Pretty thorough review though there are some iphone comparisons. best of all "If you're looking for a top-tier Android player with little in the way of compromises, look no further. " oh and they scored it 8 out of 10. Hit the link for more!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Yellowfrizbee:
Good post! Although I hate Engadget's obsession for Apple.

Reading now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] minotauri:
i think their cons are a bit weaksauce.

hinge issue is overinflated in my opinion (i have one that sorta does the "loose" thing but who holds their phone like that?)

also its bulky. duh. its got a keyboard. i think its actually quite slim for having a keyboard when compared to a nexus one, which i used previous.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
though personally, i feel the bloatware(well kind of) which i can't remove is enough to drop it by two. i wish it was FULL stock froyo. no tethering restrictions and not an app for every service google ever created. though swype is a good addition.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
When I hold my phone upside down my hinge just drops the screen... But it doesn't seem to be a problem because I don't hold the phone like that... No one does!

In my opinion the hinge seems fine and seems pretty strong... Doesn't move in my pocket despite the apparent lack of resistance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] going_home:
Main reason I havent made the plunge.

;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
One point, don't like the extra apps? Just hide them with LauncherPro until root is available...

The phone is great and solid and gorgeous but not without flaws. The "hinge issue" isn't really an issue, just a different approach to a slider and it's actually quite impressive since it enables the keyboard and screen to be even. I think people are just used to rigid sliders.

Also, The trackpad should wake up the phone because the power button is kind of annoying to try and reach. Leaving out the front facing camera doesn't affect me AT ALL because I think video chatting is lame and awkward (whether on AIM or a phone). How many people have really used Qik or Facetime more than a handful of times? But I do see why some people would be mad that the G2 lacks it.

Once this think gets rooted (*crosses fingers*) and we can enable wifi tether I will be totally happy. Free tethering definitely beats whatever paid tethering option T-Mobile is currently working on.

Call quality is great, and texting is superb compared to the iphone thanks to the keyboard. The only reason I'm still using my iPhone is for scrabble (Words With Friends) although according to the developer they will be coming to Android in a few months. In the mean time Wordfeud is a good alternative (s/n masaiandrews for both apps btw)

If you need a keyboard, get the G2 (or the Epic or Droid 2). If you want Android but don't want a keyboard, get the Evo or Incredible or Droid X. If you want more games, get an iPhone and jailbreak it immediately.

8/10.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mark925:
....and that's why I don't bother with visiting their site anymore. The way they circle jerk for Apple is just stupidly sickening. If they could report on Steve Jobs' bowel movements they would.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeybot:
Ok, so there's apps you don't want. It isn't like storage is an issue with this like it was on the G1.

Take them off your home screen, auto kill them for good measure and don't worry about it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
keyword: root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Uh, what are you talking about? I said you can do this RIGHT NOW until root is available. You don't need root to hide apps from the app drawer. Just make 'em disappear.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dkaz46:
Great article. Good thing that they didn't bash the g2 too much.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MCbrian:
Exactly!

Whenever a media-review or forum-poster reviews a landscape-keyboard phone and says "it's hefty" or "it's thick" in comparison to the heft/thickness of a keyboardless phone it just makes them seem clueless.

It's fine to say you don't need/want a hardware keyboard or that it's not worth the size -- a lot of people don't need/want a keyboard, but it's still an apples/oranges comparison.

It's like saying: "The Lenovo Thinkpad is so much heavier and thicker than the Apple iPad!"

But really, the Engadget review is still very positive...and they actually minimize the hinge-looseness more than I do. :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
But a Thinkpad is twice as fast and has way more than 250,000 apps plus the OS crashes every 5 minutes. though the day they make a thin qwerty slider, i will be amazed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
The problem is many of them always want to do something in the background. If I open the app and turn everything off (which I shouldn't even have to do), I don't want it to run at all. I shouldn't have to run yet another service just to keep a bunch of applications I will never use from running. If I could just set a switch to completely disable pre-installed apps, the G2 would be almost perfect.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Of all the bloatware, the only one that runs in the background is Finances (on my device). So out of sight, out of mind.

Like I said, it's better than nothing til root is here. I got sick of seeing the 15 or so apps I would never use that were preinstalled.

No.. Thats what it is supposed to say on Bionix 1.5..

Is your theme "Blackish"? If so then you flashed it :)

i dont think so... seems to the same theme as TWlauncher and default background was the grass. : \ i went into rom manager and chose to install from SD again and chose bionix but when it goes into clockwork , there's an error and it says no rom exists or it cant be found. wtf lol im so confused. deleted it from sd card and putting it back and trying again now

same thing again... exact wording is E: Cant open /sdcard/sd/bionix1_5_JACS_OCUV.zip (No such file or directory) installation aborted.

What am i doing wrong? am i supposed copy the file onto internal SD or something?

1)installing automatically or browse

I chose Browse as one of the Guides i saw said.

When i press nexted, it gave me 2 options

Search For Driver Or Don't Search, just browse

Some guy told me not to search, so i didn't, when i went to the Browse Hardware Part, there was a list full of stuff like Computer,DishDrive,Mouse,Keyboard all that stuff, this is the part idk what to do. please help!

You do realise that the 2nd thread stickied here is stating boldly Thread Deleted/Moved/Locked? This is development not general!

Which tutorials did you follow exactly? I'm curious to know. Did you try google?

1. Connect your device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Hardware Update Wizard.

2. Select "Install from a list or specific location" and click "Next."

3. Select "Search for the best driver in these locations"; un-check "Search removable media"; and check "Include this location in the search."

4. Click "Browse..." and locate the folder where you copied the installation package.

5. Click "Next" to install the driver.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaaspul:
I rooted my Samsung Epic last Friday using the one.click.root.exploitv2.3.0. Then installed Wifi Tether and launched it. Everything worked great. I was able to connect my laptop and browse just fine. I need the feature this weekend for an event so tonight I tried to launch Wifi Tether and it would not launch. I reinstalled with no success...error was "could not start tethering". I decided to install Barnacle Wifi. Got it installed and when I tried to launch it the app told me I needed su access and access was denied. I have the Superuser icon in my apps and it loads.

So I attached the phone to my pc and tried to unroot using one.click.stock.flasher.&root.uninstaller-di18. When I follow the steps the command prompt hangs. I check adb devices and the device is shown but nothing happens. So I tried the sdk tools option to unroot manually. First step is to type adb shell. I did that and nothing happens. I have the phone in USB Debugging mode. If I unplug the phone the command prompt then shows error: protocol fault <no status>.

I need to find out why I don't have su access anymore. I can't get to the point of typing su in the command prompt window to verify...everything hangs. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as I need to get my tethering fixed.

Thanks

I'm a little lost when it comes to this stuff. I am unable to unroot my Samsung Epic also. Did flashing the stock rom with odin allow you to unroot it? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am trying to unroot my Epic so I can take it back and am getting close to my 30 day return window.

I followed some youtube video to root it and it all seemed to work fine (I don't remember exactly what one I followed). But I am now unable to unrroot. I have tried a couple different sets of instructions and nothing works. I have even tried doing a restore and that didn't do either.
