[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] strikernl:
It works for me, but it's not 100% foolproof. It seems to work for a while, but not permanently. However, it's still better than the ping method. The ping method would never work for me, since I use Wifi at least 4 different places a week. Even when done automatically, how would I know what to ping on what Wifi network?! Random DHCP on workstations notwithstanding...

This does it for me:

turn on normal Wifi

wait around 10 seconds (for Wifi to 'start')

turn on Wifi hotspot (normal wifi should turn it self off automatically)

wait around 20 seconds (the hotspot takes a while to 'start', it actually fails (error) for me, but still does the trick)

turn normal Wifi on again

At that point it "works" for me, at least for a while.

At the very least this seems to indicate that the broken Wifi hotspot and this problem are related -- on Cotulla's build (where stock Wifi hotspot WORKS), this problem is non-existent.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] engst03:
Unfortunatly your steps do not work for me :-(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] strikernl:
That's unlucky. Those steps seem to "work" for me on CleanDroid 1.30. Maybe we can just hope it works again when the stock wifi hotspot is fixed.

Alternate "solution":

Get Cotulla's "Stock Desire" ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893620

It definitely works on that. Too bad sense is dog****, and your battery will last for a day max.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clyder:
Just tried this and it worked. As soon as I started the wifi the second time my computer started pinging HD2.

My usual procedure for fixing this was to start wifi, see assigned IP address and then ping my computer from 'Net Ping' app. This can be faster sometimes.

Is there a way to port hotspot from Cotulla's build to a nonSense build? No way for me to come back to sense again :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] strikernl:
Don't know, it's probably in the kernel, so shouldn't be too difficult, but then again, I haven't really got a clue about building ROMs.

bump..

i'm suprised that this issue gets so little attention.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clyder:
Another bump...

I would also like to see this bug solved. It it good that there is a workaround, but it would be great if it would work by default...

I tried searching on internet and found only one page, I think on CM forum somewhere....

I am currently using Ultimate Droid 3 which is 2.3.2 Gingerbread based, so I guess that it isn't really a build related problem.

Tried using logcat while pinging my phone from PC but cant see any info, error....

Is there some tool for wifi debuging so we can isolate where the reason for connection block could be?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ajm2387:
yeah im also having this problem.

can't accept incoming connections
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clyder:
Problem is that no one seams to care for this issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] strikernl:
I think rather than noone caring, nooone actually has the knowledge necessary to fix this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clyder:
Perhaps...but noone actually replied here with any info at all...

I am one of those people without much knowledge about android system. I tried to look on internet about this issue, found only few forum posts outside of XDA with people having this issue and using ping workaround. I tried looking at the logcat while turning wifi on, and trying to ping phone from PC, but no messages related to this came up. I am willing to search for more info, but really don't know what tools to use. Some wifi debug apps, methods, whatever would be great. But couldn't found anything.

on my tablet TCP ports are opened may be you have a firewall or you have to open the portson your router if you to access from public network
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clyder:
This is not the firewall/router problem....It is the kernel issue. Perhaps combination of kernel/build/something problem.

Anyway I solved it by using tytung r6 kernel. Now incoming connection through wifi works immediately after wifi is connected to router.

You are right! it works perfect with that kernel

[General Questions and Answers] Pr.TOSHIBA:
I just got my first android phone a couple days ago. Its a HTC TMobile G2 that I'm using on AT&T with cyanogen mod. I Love the phone so far, but I bought it used and it didn't come with a sd card. So I can't use the camera or install/download nonmarket stuff like apps and themes. The phone has 1 gb of internal memory so I was wondering if there is any way that I could use the camera and save stuff to the internal memory or will I have to buy a sd card?. Just a few small things; not music or stuff like that.

Thx

[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
I want to know how to change the Lcd Density from 160 to 140. Im using Zpad clean rom. I Went to System/Build.prop and I didnt see the Ro.density text or what ever it is. LCD Density for root works but it resets after restart. Anyone know how? :confused:
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Figured it out. In system/Build.prop using Root Explorer I just made my own line and put ro.sf.lcd_density=140 and then saved and rebooted the tablet. Seems to have worked. If somone decides to change density like this dont forget to make a backup just in case.

EDIT: EHHH. Slide down bar was buggy and pissed me off and some apps wher windowed a bit so i gave in and just bought LCD Density changer from Market for a buck and use that. Works great.
[G Tablet General] rob_z11:
works well for me by changing the system/build.prop to 140.
[G Tablet General] powerx86:
Changed to 140 also and it makes some apps not fill screen but not a big hitter actually see more on screen with browsers and other apps. Especially with apps like settings and ROM Manager, etc....

Also went down and trying currently at 130. Here are screen shots of what it is like at default and 130. I kind of like seeing more of the screen.

Here are the setting I used in the build.prop file

ro.sf.lcd_density=130

Running Vegan 5.1 here are screenshots before and after

Screenshots below default and 130 settings:
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Yeh lcd density app same as just changing it in build.prop. Slide down bar not full screen anymore when set too 140 on zpad clean rom. Wonder why.. Hmmm...:rolleyes: worked b4 so now no point in the app except faster changes. Oh well.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Have you checked Spare Parts app to see if you have "Compatibility Mode" checked or unchecked?

I believe Unchecked should open things back to full screen.
[G Tablet General] powerx86:
I unchecked compatibility it at 130 and 140. No effect to Android notifications.

From the QDL tool's 305 pre-production version of 2.2, I simply downloaded the 318 package, then clicked on it. That's it. It did the upgrade automatically. Just click on the file that you downloaded.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SwiftJudgement:
I'm having trouble mounting the /system directory on my Captivate. When I try an "adb remount" I get

remount failed: no such file or directory

When I try to push my framework, I get

failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to '/system/framework/framework-res.apk': Read-only file system

I've tried

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

and this and get "Permission Denied."

It is confusing, because before when I had this problem, the fix I linked to worked for me. Now I can't get it. Also, I can pull from the /system just fine, but can't push.

I'm definitely rooted, and have Busybox installed.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SwiftJudgement:
Bump?

I have read throug tons of guides, but nothing seems to be working. I went back to stock and flashed my rom again, but no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fubaya:
Did you type su first? It acts as if you're not root. /system is readable by everyone so you can pull, but it's only writeable by root so you can't push to it unless you're logged in as root.

I've only used adb once to root my phone so I'm not entirely sure how it should be typed in, but in a terminal you'd just type su and hit enter, then type in your remount command.

Also, for what it's worth, you can shorten it to just: mount -o rw,remount /system

Your method is fine, it's just not necessary to type it all out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SwiftJudgement:
Thanks for the reply.

If I type su in the terminal, this is what I get.

C:\Android\tools>su
'su' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. C:\Android\tools>

However, when in shell, I can get it to recognize su, but it still doesn't like to mount.

C:\Android\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount /system
mount -o rw,remount /system

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
I'd recommend Ice Glacier to get your feet wet -- it's the same sense interface as stock but with some crapware uninstalled like demo games, Amazon MP3, etc.

If you don't like it, then try another ROM -- you'll understand the process of flashing better at this point and may be more comfortable with a different non-sense UI.

Since you are rooted I'm assuming you have Clockwork Recovery (2.x) installed. If not, install that immediately via ROM manager! Once it is installed make a FULL NAND backup by booting up recovery and using the backup options -- then feel free to tinker and play ;).

Good root-required aps are AdFree (block advertisements) and ShootMe (take screenshots).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dani26286:
my advice on the other hand is to skip iced glacier and go straight to gorilla sense dhd. its the stock sense, updated of course to what you see on phones like desire hd, upcoming thunderbolt, etc. its fully functional. get yourself set cpu, read all about these. the procces is farely easy, just fallow the steps you get, and next time you will now by default how and what. go on sites like android central, talkandroid, phandroid...a lot of info there about top aps. of course, since you are here, I don't have to tell you about xda. read all u can about the phone, amd what it implies. at first don't go into stuff like set cpu etc, if you aren't confortable with it. give it time, and it will all come to you. whatever u see you would like to have, use youtube for how to videos and tutorials. whatever questions u have, no matter how nooby u think it is, go right ahead. this is the place u wanna be for that. it was for me, and look,the way I was helped, you will to. after you gain some experience about what it means to have full acces to your phone, it will seem much much easier...

so yea, have fun, cuz I do, every day when I find out something new that it can do...

[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
For those that may not know...

The quadrant score doesnt really mean anything right now. Reason being; Froyo doesnt support dual core, so until HC gets ported, you will never see the full potential, even though its already there. Anf even when it does get ported, it really depends on which filesystem we get this running on a custom oc kernel. For instance, etc3 has trouble with the read/write db, even though the kernel is super fast. And rfs and jfs dont have that issue as much, but usually arent as fast as say a voodoo kernel.

Dont rely on quadrant or linpack. Right now, but not for long, the DS7 has the fastest processor on an android tablet, but we cant even use it to its full potential. This is why I know we will get HC, its just a matter of when we will get an official release from Dell/T-Mobile.

can i manually update the SU ? i used AndRoot to root my g1 and i was able to "root" it but i noticed that i didn't get SuperUser along with it so i've tried googling several solutions to come up with one where i can download it from the market.

i downloaded from the market and there was an update for it. after pressing okay after a request to update the SU, a toast came up saying it had successfully update it but it didn't update because i could not get permission from my root apps. oddly, i can access root apps but there wasn't a pop up asking for permission..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiehairspray:
So in other words everything works just fine? You just want to have the actual application for SuperUser?

You can always try to download the APK and use that instead of your current SU.

I'm unsure if the superuser application is universal, or specific to device, but it's worth a shot.
