Has anyone found a way to get tethering or Mobile hotspot to work with Edge network only?

I have some areas that I go to that do not get anything but and Mobile Hotspot only works if there is high speed. The tethering option is not there at all?

Hey, Yeah, i'm using it in afghanistan right now and all we have is edge here and work great. for mobile hotspot and on the lapdock. I followed the steps on this other thread

[Xoom General] Legacystar:
Anyone else notice there charger is super loose and barely stays in or is it just mine. It feels like the pin isn't long enough.
[Xoom General] Eddiepapi:
Yea I think its just your phone...i have 2 and they work fine...can hold it from the charger and it won't fall out.
[Xoom General] knut150:
Yes:mad: mine too, the pin is too long and does'nt go in all the way; almost a deal breaker among other things.
[Xoom General] knut150:
I don't think so, the xoom is too heavy to be held from the charger? in fact the whole charging system is a big flaw in this tablet, I am very disappointed.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
Yep. Loose charger here too.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Very disappointed they couldn't do a charge over USB. I was reading that the reason they can't charge over the USB port is that the batteries are so big and draw so much power to charge that the micro USB wouldn't be able to offer the throughput to charge it up fast enough.

Not sure how much I buy that, but at any rate they could've come up with a charging port combo that doesn't look like it came from a Nokia I bought 10 years ago lol.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
Well it seems that the charger port and piece are affecting a few of you guys. But mine is good. No problem here. But that said, I was still pretty disappointed I couldn't use the same port as the phone.
[Xoom General] blozout:
I was upset about this at first as well but then again with essentially a 10 hour non stop usage time I will never have the charger in while using it. I also think it adds incentive to buy the Standard dock which at $39.99 isnt exactly terrible.

But still...why the dinky little charger?!
[Xoom General] johnny0911:
Yeah same problem here, I hate the charging system here.
[Xoom General] johnny0911:
I agree. It reminds me of a phone I had years ago.
[Xoom General] slack04:
I agree, but 10 hour battery life and 100% charge in about an hour? It's a fair trade off. I agree, though, that the attachment is tiny (wouldn't say "loose," though). Better than a dock port connector, but I'd prefer something a bit more robust. Meh.
[Xoom General] Cy1971:
The charger on mine is horrible.

I was sketchy at best brand new, a month in and it doesn't work at all.

At first I had to fiddle with it, get the xoom at just the right angle etc to get it to charge. Now it doesn't make contact at all. I didn't return it right away because I heard some of the issues, but figured it did work just not well.

Once it crapped out completely it was past my 30 return window.

I ended up buying the charging dock. This works fine and the "road charger' that came with it works fine (so far) as well. I am thinking of just throwing in my gimpy charger in the box and returning the dock as it is pretty over priced and i feel a bit miffed that i had to pan an additional $50 just to charge my xoom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thrashavich:
Just have a few general questions.

How much better can I expect the Inspire to be than the X10?

(just generally speaking in your own opinion)

Now more specifically.

How is the Inspire's speaker? Is it louder than the X10?

Is the bootloader cracked?

Has anyone managed to get Gingerbread on it?

Do you have CyanogenMod already?

App2sd and JIT?

xRecovery?

Multitouch?

Flashtool?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] majik8ball:
Coming from SE xperia x10a I can safely assure you that it is time to switch to the HTC Inspire "4g"

It has everything your looking for except flashtools... Its fast and super zippy conpared to the x10a especially HTC Sense compared to Timescape UI... the extra screen estate is great...Inspire was rooted and bootleader cracked before day one and has complete roms ready to be flashed through Clockwork... Unlike the x10 which has incomplete roms all over the place (though it is a great dev community with J, Z, Binary, and Trip)... Gingerbread with CyanogenMod 7 RC1 ready and waiting for your flash crazy ways, although I suggest you try Android Revolution first... JIT is already enabled in Android 2.2 (we didn't have it on x10a b/c technically we're still on 1.6 /2.1)...and finally multi-touch right out of the box with no need to keep waiting for updates (multitouch not dual touch like x10a)... Battery for HTC Inspire is kinda week but not that much worse than Xperia... The sound is not bad on stock, but after flashing there is some distortion (dev's are working on a fix for this as we speak)

If you have any other questions feel free to let me know... I too for so long was hopeful for the Xperia x10a but after some frustrating months (almost a year, I imported the phone from Rogers in Canada) I'm just glad to be in an environment where i can tweek, mod, and customize my phone that I own... Thank you HTC!!! The only way I will ever go back to any SE phones is if GeoHot or Binary or anyone else can crack bootleader so I can mod the sh*t out of my phone (for some reason SE thinks that I'm just renting their devices and that they have total control over it) SE futures phones like the Arc look sexy but after my experience with the X10a I will always be hesitant before picking it as my next phone....

Hope this helps
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thrashavich:
So would you say it's speaker and sound quality (stock) is worse than the Xperia x10's?

also what about app2sd?

How are the quadrant scores after CM and all the tweaks?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Froyo supports installing apps to SD.

Quadrant scores around 1700-1800 stock and all the way up to 2600-2800 fully tricked out and overclocked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] majik8ball:
No, speaker on stock is better than x10a... i meant after flashing custom kernals the sound is not as good as the orginal stock...

On Android Revolution HD i'm getting 42.772 MFLOPS

and on quadrant with the processor oc'd to 1.2 i've been averaging around 2400-2700
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thrashavich:
Spectacular! Then I'll rush to AT&T and pick one up first thing tomorrow morning.

Thanks for all the help guys. I gave you all a "thanks" and I suppose I'll just post here in case I can think of anything else I'd like to know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Thrashavich:
Ok one last quick question before I buy it.

Does it come with a stock screen protector pre applied like the X10 or should I buy one immediately at the AT&T store?
[HTC Inspire 4G] majik8ball:
No pre-applied screen protector, so you might want to pick one up... the inspire screen does like fingerprints... lol

Oh and the Inspire casing is a lot more solid than the plastic-y feel of the x10a, but you still might want to a protecor as well

Good luck and have fun
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
No screen protector.
[HTC Inspire 4G] killfill:
I have an X10 too, and the battery is killing me.

Need to switch to a new phone that has a better battery, when i dont plug it in the office, i arrive home with power off..

Im using custom rom 2.2 tho..

Is it really worst than this?..
[Atrix 4G General] kga943:
i have both 4g phones atrix and inspire anyone else have both and deciding on what one to keep i need help ?.i like the inspire a lot the screen size 4.3 inch is great the resolution seems better to me,the camera is 100% better and the video is 100% better,the atrix has better battery life and a louder speaker and the quadrant score is 2500 vs 1700 on the inspire
[Atrix 4G General] frankiedizzle87:
I had both but kept atrix I like inspire better
[Atrix 4G General] kga943:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derechbennoach:

I have yet to try this Streak yet, I think it is by the data account not the OS.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathpulse:

Hey guys,

I've recently rooted my Eris and installed FroShedYo 2.2.1 and I'm really happy with it overall. However, I can't find anywhere I can kill the shutter sounds for the built-in camera app or FXCamera. Am I just missing it?

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spc_hicks09:
No you're not missing anything, the option isn't there. Only thing you can do is turn down your media volume when taking a pic.

Let me rephrase that, all you can do without tearing apart the .apk is turn down the media volume in settings>sound>volume
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busbuddha:
Gotcha. Okay, at least that means I'm not crazy. Actually, it does nothing to guarantee my sanity...lol...but at least I can stop hunting around for that setting. Thank you!

[Gen8 General] Alexroc94:
Hello everybody!

I have been playing with the ARM port of Ubuntu and my Archos 70 for a few days now and I got it to boot and login on a root account.

Not a lot of things work. The touchscreen, sound, hardware buttons and 3d don't work (I'm guessing this since Unity doesn't work).

You don't imagine the pain that I had to suffer to get here without input of any kind.

Everything else seems to work fine, slow but fine (X, gnome, etc).

Things that I haven't tried yet are the webcam, the HDMI, the SD reader and the USB (which would help me a lot to get things working faster)

I'll update my post with pics and a link to download the image when it's done uploading.

For those who have been longer on the Archos community or have some experience I would ask you to give me some advice to get the touchscreen working.

Update :

(12/03/2011)

Sroll down for a link and instructions on how to install it (The touchscreen works in this new image)
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
afaik touchscreen is connected by usb internally. check dmesg of android and figure out which driver you need and build/download/whatever it to ubuntu
[Gen8 General] Alexroc94:
Thanks! That's actually a great idea. I never thought about that
[Gen8 General] Alexroc94:
I did what you told me and it revealed that the screen is a Unitec USB Touch (Win7) with a 227d:0709 ID. I haven't found any information online except for this which isn't that informative either: lii-enac.fr/en/architecture/linux-input/multitouch-devices .html
[Gen8 General] mafcov:
is it not an option to re-build(and probably modify) the driver based on the gen8 source? looks to me that it is in the source package(gen8gpl-froyo/linux/drivers/input/touchscreen).
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
@veenstrac of course, as long as there is no ARM assembler code included it shouldn't be that hard to port it to an ubuntu kernel. except for the bit that ubuntu uses a newer kernel (2.6.3x) than archos (2.6.29). maybe some APIs need to be modified to get it compiled and working
[Gen8 General] Alexroc94:
I finally got the touchscreen working!

I didn't need to compile any drivers or anything. Just by changing the evdev configuration worked!:D

The problem now is that I can't "click" the mouse properly (when I do it it stays "pressed" forever) and also that X crashes after a while...
[Gen8 General] Oracladeus:
What did you do to modify it and get it to work? I have the same touch screen and I've tried a number of things to the evdev config and none seem to make any difference.
[Gen8 General] TjaXanK:
this sounds cool :) anything i can do to help?
[Gen8 General] Oracladeus:
If anyone knows how the evdev can be modified to make this work, can they please share this with the rest of the world? I've tried to no avail. I would really like to be able to use UNR, but it's worthless without a touch screen on a touch screen only device.
[Gen8 General] Alexroc94:
I'm sorry I didn't respond to any of the later posts. I had a really terrible week full of exams ...

Anyway, I will be working on Ubuntu this weekend to see if I can solve the rest of the problems (wifi not working, sound not working, crashes ....). But for those who want to try I uploaded the image to Dropbox.

Please give me some feedback:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3122179/rootfs.img

Once you have downloaded it you have to install the SDL and replece the Angstrom img with this one. (It won't work if you have the Urukdroid intramfs).

So yeah. Good luck with that and thanks in advance to those who give me some feedback :D
[Gen8 General] escoriaa:
Hey

I would like to help you out, just one question, are you using the netbook edition or is it the desktop one?
[Gen8 General] Alexroc94:
It's Ubuntu Netbook Edition but I make it boot to the "normal" desktop since Unity needs 3D to work.

The graphic card is another thing I am working on since it would be better to use Unity in these kind of devices.
[Gen8 General] super_sonic:
Hello,

If you want to try Linux on Android (for me, A101), you can try old method (with chroot) on Android rooted device (for me, Chulri root method); it's very easy to boot Debian or Ubuntu while Android is running:

link 2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899037

But for me, it's just for fun, not to work with this linux. But it works.
[Gen8 General] tazarus:
hum hum

Hello all,

may i resume or i am wrong if i say :

What super_sonic says allow to boot Ubuntu "inside" Android and get wifi, touchscreen and 3D working

What you propose with your rootfs.img is to get Ubuntu running really on the tab but unfortunatly with no wifi for the moment

I don't know if this can help but i was folllowing the same type of work here :

don't worry for your img, i get it just before they closed your DropBox

I found one more guy trying to put Debian on A101

And please don't be funny with answers: "download" and "recover."

You want in download mode usually to flash back to stock. And recovery when flashing kernels or modems or enabling, disabling lag fixes.

recovery mode is like an advanced menu screen and you can flash things on the phone to the phone

[Xoom Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
As an alternative you could just purchase a copy of Documents to Go. It works quite well on the xoom and in my experience is faster than quick office.

Keep in mind that the full version of Quick office is a commercial product and the distribution of the APK is wares. If you want quick office for android you can purchase it at their site:

It comes stock on mytouch 3g so how is it warez
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kurttrail:
Because you are offering to distribute software to people without the autorization to do so.

Just because it came with your phone, doesn't give you the right to distribute it to others.

DocumentsToGo is buggy on Honeycomb. Try editing a spreadsheet and you'll see it just doesn't work...the edits appear in random cells. I'm using the full paid version.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
I have the full paid version too but my Xoom is still on its way (hopefully!). The main reason to buy this was to have good office software in the future. I used DtG on my Nook Color but so far I am far from impressed but I was hoping it's only b/c it was never intended to run on that device. If it's still not good on the Xoom I will be very sad. However, I thought I read in a different thread that DtG is planning a major update soon. Hopefully that will fully support a "real" tablet!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
Even if it is the version on the xoom you are offering, which I highly doubt, you are not authorized to redistribute it. If you are offering the full version, which is what people are asking for, then it is definitely warez. So which are you guilty of, poor reading comprehension or sophistry.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Natai:
It looks like the tablet version will not be out for a bit. I've got three questions.

1. Can anyone tell me how to purchase and download the current version to my Xoom?

2. How can I then install it over the current Reader, since it cannot be uninstalled from Manage Apps?

3. Can anyone verify that the current version is working and stable on a stock Xoom?

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
Unfortunately if it has improved I have not noticed. I mostly deal with word documents which d2g seems to handle well. PowerPoint it handles acceptably, though not stellar. I have never tried editing excel beyond very simple documents. Hopefully either d2g or qo will improve soon for what you need.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Natai:
Tried the same thing. Cannot install due to reader version already installed. Can't uninstall current version either.

By the way, is the apk posted above the current release of QuickOffice or the full QuickOfficeHD for tablets?

In order to update to the latest GB on my Nexus One, I flashed the latest FRG83G stock and rooted it to restore the stock recovery image.

I forgot to unroot and applied the update.zip in the stock recovery. Everything went smoothly and I still have the Superuser icon in my app drawer.

Is this going to cause any problem in the future or does this just mean have a rooted GB now??

You pretty much definitely lost root, it's just that the app that managed root access is still there. Try "su" in terminal emulator or adb shell and it should say "access denied".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
It probably means you have an unrooted rom with superuser installed, so really no harm there. You'll have to get you're phone rooted again in some way though if that is your intention.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightsljx:
i've definitely lost root like you said. it says access denied when i 'su' in the adb shell.

does it matter if i uninstall the app that managed root now? i'm afraid it might cause problems in the future if i tried to root it later. or is it ok to just leave it there?

You can't uninstall it without root. But leaving it there doesn't hurt anything. If you want, just root again.
