With Gingerbread and Honeycomb being talked about ... I was curious if anyone knows if there are any solutions to two issues that I personally think should be solved.
Web proxy - I use wifi at work but I need to use a proxy to get to the web. I am aware of some techniques to get the proxy working but haven't seen a good, simple way of turning a proxy on and off. The best would be to have the proxy settings associated to the wifi profile.
Incoming Voice Recording - Last time I looked into this there still was no way to directly access the incoming voice ... most programs suggest using speakerphone and it picks up the incoming voice through the mic. This is not a good solution.
For the proxy, you could use an application like Tasker (or Locale) to create a widget to run necessary shell commands to change the network properties. I think. I'd have to play with it a bit to get it to work, I imagine.
For the voice recording, my understanding is that it is a hardware limitation based on where (and at what level) the voice call is processed.
No and no.
Voice is Android system intended limitation, AFAIK.
Proxy switch isn't there yet, and no app has been written for it. Generally, WiFi management isn't quite there yet.
I've seen the proxy configuration screen on cyanogens ROM, have not tried it.

Very surprising & disappointing that there is no wifi proxy... It is a very basic requirements that should not be missed out.

Cyanogen has it. Flash and enjoy.
There is WiFi proxy in custom ROMs, but the problem is that it's global and it can't be turned on-off easily, only through settings.

Come on, it is so basic and should be built-into the stock rom. I am not expecting any mods to do this basic trick. This is the most disappointing thing.

There are lots of basic things that should be in the stock rom but aren't.
That's what custom ROMs are made for.
If you own a Nexus One and are not even willing to use (or even try) a custom ROM, then you will never fully enjoy the device. Google is RELYING on the openness of Android for people to enjoy their devices...

1st, I am a rom and kernel developer
2nd, This proxy thing is so basic that it has been already implemented in ipod touch N years ago.
3rd, while I can (I have) applied the wifi proxy things into MY CUSTOM ROM, I still think that this is a basic thing that should not waste my time to do such a customization
4th, I am sure you are not using wifi proxy and do not realize how important it is
5th, NEXUS one is a great phone. When you first boot it, it asks you for your google account (great!), however, sorry, because you are using wifi proxy, you cannot connect to the internet. So, if you cannot connect to the internet, there is no point for using a "GOOGLE" phone. That is why I say it is a basic thing.

No, I do not use a Wifi proxy but I know what it is and I am very aware of how important it is, which is why developers have added it in custom ROMs (like you did).
I am not trying to excuse Google for what they did, I am just saying there are alternatives and solutions to this problem so there is no point in complaining. Google will not be reading this, whining will not make them change their mind.
To add, Google couldn't even get Wifi sleep policy to actually work...ANY device can do that, but not our N1s...That's even more basic. I'm not whining on the forum for that since CM and others have worked-around this issue.
You (or anyone) cannot control Google, live with it.
Gingerbread on Droidx has broken my wifi tether. When attempting to enable wifi tether the default (vzw/moto) 3g tether app comes up in notification area. Anyone have any solutions? If/when I find the solution is will update this post.

I figured out how to fix it. The Team black hat patcher works.
1. Download the file below (from your phone probably easiest)
2. Launch DROID 2 BOOTSTRAPPER which can also be downloaded from below.
3. Bootstrap recovery
4. Reboot recovery
5. Install zip from SDcard
6. If using the default Android browser, the file will be in /download
7. Install the zip
8. Reboot phone, launch 3g hotspot (Wireless Tether for Root users not necessary)
9. Enable 3g, connect with computer/laptop/nook/tablet
10. Enjoy free 3g!!!
Downloads:
1. Team Black Hat Patcher
2. Team Black Hat Unpatcher
3. Droid 2 Bootstrapper
I take no credit for any of this! I just put it together and followed directions. All thanks goes to Koush, P3Droid, Team Black Hat, etc...

LOL. Probably because VZW is big and scary and their favorite color is red. All they want from their customers is blood!
LOL. More info on how this works can be found here:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/android-hacks/5156-tbh-droid-3g-hotspot-nvram-hack.html
Here's their explanation:
This thread is intended to explain the principles behind tethering and how to use RadioComm to modify the NVM to allow tethering via all methods
on any Motorola Droid device by all users, regardless of whether they are rooted or not.
This is the method we at TeamBlackHat used to create the Tether_Repair patches that were released recently for rooted DX/D2 users in update.zip format
and applied via the Koush bootstrap recovery.
It is based on years old knowledge developed in the early days of CDMA Motorola hacking on the V710/V3c/e815 devices.
All of the information, techniques and software tools to do this are in the public domain already.
What we did is simply take that knowledge and apply it with the latest Service software and methods to the Droid generation devices and packaged it
in a new format for delivery that was never previously available to us before the advent of Android.
We will be releasing the manual method for RadioComm when we have worked through all the details for doing it on Win 7.
Currently the versions of RadioComm available on the net are for Win XP only.
We did it initially as a Proof of Concept of methods for writing to NV items via update.zip using Motorola's own binaries that we have recently developed.
We were not intending to release it at all and all agreed that it would be very controversial and raise many ethical questions as well as attracting the wrong
kind of attention to us as a group at a time when we had just been served a C&D for leaking the 2.3.9 update.zip file.
All of this really came about as a direct result of the examination of the NVM we did investigating nenolod's claims about an Engineering mode "switch"
that unlocked the bootloader on DX/D2. Those claims turned out to be unfounded and false and our work, and in particular MotoCache1's incisive analysis
of the boot process with help from [mbm], was instrumental in revealing that fact.
Not exactly what we had in mind to do but we were among the few who had the tools and wherewithall to determine the validity of what nenolod was claiming,
particularly in the beginning when he had released very little hard data to back up his suggestion that there was such a string hiding in the NVM.
Nonetheless, while revisiting the NVM and exploring methods to dump the memory we came upon this set of NV items that determines how the radio builds the
authentication strings it autowrites at bootup for data services. I was aware of their existence for month's since they were revealed in a thread
I participated in on HoFo for service programming on the original Droid. That thread was directed towards the methods required to get the Droid on
a different carrier like Cricket or Metro.
In any event, I knew what they would do if modified in this way and decided to use that as a test of MotoCache1's work with the update.zip binaries.
I used RadioComm to edit them individually and MotoCache1 did the really brilliant work of turning this very old school hack into a beautiful,
elegantly delivered package. This proved the power of what we were capable of as a team and we still unanimously decided against releasing
a packaged theft of services hack as not the right thing to do.
We have reconsidered now in the light of these other exploits surfacing which utilize various software level tricks for getting "Free" tethering
with the new 3G Mobile Hotspot app included on DX and D2. I had always felt that this was inevitable and that others would soon put the pieces together
in the same way we had done.
This is a fundamentally different modality but accomplishes exactly the same thing as any other exploit designed to subvert VZW's intent
to differentiate between externally routed modem data and internal data use and charge for that service.
This includes all forms of exploits and applications like PDAnet and WMWiFiRouter(WinMo 6.1) and now Barnacle, whose entire business model is to use
software level methods to mask tethered data and have marketed them as such for years.
All of these methods absolutely violate the TOS agreement with VZW.
This method simply alters that behavior at the lowest level possible on the device, the radio NVM.
It works because of the way VZW chose to setup authentication on their network when they released the first EvDO capable phones in late 2004-2005.
The methods and software tools to access the NVM as well as the blocks put in place by Qualcomm and Motorola for protecting these
authentication components have evolved dynamically over the years with advancements in chipset design and software, but the principles
have always remained the same. Hex editing the NVM items via a given tool to make the Tethered NAI(Network Access Identifier) strings
match the NAI strings for internal data.
These are basically your user name on the network and consist of the MIP profile byte, a line length byte and your 10 digit telephone number
followed by either @dun.vzw3g.com for tethered NAI or @vzw3g.com for the NAI. By removing the "dun." from the tethered NAI string
you enable all forms of data use to appear to the network as internal and using the normal NAI string.
The difference between the current technique and former methods is that the items edited for this hack are not those strings themselves,
but actually where the default values are stored that the radio uses to build the full strings that it autowrites to the fixed, protected locations in the NVM
for the authentication components in the MIP(Mobile Internet Protocol) profile itself, which happens at bootup.
This is the means by which they prevented the items from being modified by typical service programming tools like QPST.
But, because we know the location for those hidden partial strings, it actually makes our work much simpler.
After editing these four strings, the phone itself uses those values to autowrite the properly configured MIP profile strings for you.
It couldn't be any easier!
Despite our initial concern about releasing this publicly, we have decided after much discussion to do so anyway.
With all of the recent exploits that are directly targeting the 3g Mobile Hotspot app we feel that revealing the way to do it properly
will level the playing field for everyone as well as giving the community a truer and more complete understanding of how it works.
This way users can make up their own minds as to whether to use any of the available methods of "free" tethering with a clear view
of the ethical and technical issues involved.
Hopefully this thread will generate a healthy discussion about the issues.
We at TeamBlackHat believe in providing the knowledge so users can make their own decisions with the best information available.
Please use your own judgment about whether to use this or any tethering modifications.
Enjoy!

Works perfectly.....
Been using TBH's 3G hotspot patch since they released it. Worked fine on Froyo and fine now on GB
Works perfect did it before and after gb leak
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Works for past 4 months no extra on vzw bill either
Beamed from my Gingerbreaded DroidXtreme
Works for me.
Followed the steps, still no go...
I came from Liberty 1.5 and used the wifi tether for root with no problems. I followed the steps and installed the Tether Patcher. My laptop can get an IP address from the phone but I cant do anything more than that. Any Ideas?
I am having the same issue with the tether patch. I get an ip address, but no data comes through (tried on multiple computers). I, however, did not come from liberty - stock rom / (but rooted, obviously).
+++edit to add+++
When I first upgraded to GB, I installed the Android Wifi Tether app (3.0-pre12). That didn't work correctly (both the wifi app and hotspot app icons came on in the tray and it was really buggy), so I uninstalled the wifi app and applied the patch. The patch, as I said, would assign an ip but not transmit any data. So, I just reinstalled the tether app (with the patch still applied) and it works! Now only the stock icon appears in the tray and it works faster than ever. Using it as I type.

Thanks! I Installed the Android Wifi Tether app and managed to get it working too. Initially after installing the Wifi Tether, it would get an IP, I could ping the gateway but still couldn't get to the outside world even though the computer said it had internet access. (incidently I would also have both the wifi and builtin app icons in the tray). What worked for me was to enable access control and then disable access control. Now I have just the Wifi Icon in the tray and Im using it flawlessly right now.
After a reboot, I do have both icons in the tray again but it still works without issue. That works for me!
In order to get the stock tethering app working I had to change my dns servers.
I was in the same boat as bndggle. Tryed his fix and nothing happened. The only thing that worked before I tried his fix and after is just leaving the tether running. After a few min I will get a message on my status bar saying that my 3g connection failed. I lose 3g, then it returns and I magically have internet access.
An other thing I noticed is that when I start the tether not only is the host not connected to the internet, the phone is also.
I don't get the point of this when you can just download the wireless tether app from the store for free. What's the difference? OR is the reason that people are using this method because the wireless tether app doesn't work on GB? if that is true, than I'll stay with froyo until that gets fixed in the OTA release of GB.
do you patch , and unpatch???? or just patch... i tried to patch, and the tether still does not work... any suggestions

Uninstall the Android Wifi Tether app (3.0-pre12) and reinstall. Then reboot. Thats what worked for me. I have not removed the patch.
Was wondering if anyone knew of an app for Android similar to Netlimiter (Windows) or Trickle (Linux), etc. I've looked but have not been able to find anything. Would be great if I could throttle my bandwidth in some way as I am usually on a shared WiFi connection. If an app similar to this does not exist, does anyone know if this is due to some sort of limitation of Android?

Look for /proc/net/psched in your device. If you got this (you probably have), the kernel is compiled with traffic shaping enabled (QoS) and you should be able to control it using the command "tc" in the iproute2 package (/system/bin/tc most likely). Its a bit tricky, but there's lots of howto's using tc on GNU/Linux.

I really think the traffic shaping policy should be enforced by the router, and not in the Android device. A tc frontend app to Android I would say have quite limited use.

I think that depends on if you have a router that has that functionality I know there are some apps on Android that have bandwidth throttling capabilities so to some extent it is already available.

Not really. You don't save anything forcing your web page / mail / whatever to load at a slower pace. And if you want to disable some services, still using other, not disabling mobile data in all, netfilter (iptables) is the way to go, not traffic shaping (tc).
Contrary to first glance

I'm guessing you didn't think about streaming video. Many content providers like Netflix and Amazon instant video stream higher quality video if it detects that you have sufficient bandwidth. My 4G LTE connection regularly exceeds 8 Mbps. Consequently, if I try to stream something, I get the highest quality video and eats through my data allotment like there is no tomorrow.
I would love to have a bandwidth limiter app.
I have been wondering why there's no app too, I use Netlimiter on all the pc's here, we don't have the greatest of bandwidth so when someone is downloading a game or something, I choke it down so it doesn't lag games we play like Blacklight or GRO. I would use it exactly the same way on our devices.
If anyone is interested in creating one, let me know. I'm a logo/graphic designer so we can make it look sweet
Still no way to do this?! Google play (on "low" quality) eats through my 5GB data at a ridiculous rate (100MB+/hour). Would love to limit it to 128kbs to get a little more mileage as I listen all day at work.
There is no way to do it. Next release Android L was commented to have bandwidth throttling, but is just a guess.
Google May Build Bandwidth Throttling Feature Into Android
This is something that I would be looking forward too, should it come with L. I'm an avid NetLimiter myself

If speed limiting is set to None and desactivated , it means that either your device is not rooted or your device is not QOS capable.
Could you please click on help and tell what device capabilities outputs ?

!!! updated 12/28/2012: add code to detect and use mobile hotspot to enable sharing among devices !!!
I'd like to invite people to participate an open testing session for app "PeerDeviceNet - sharing thru WiFi and WiFi-Direct".
It runs on android 2.2 and above. It is free at google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xconns.free.peerdevicenet
I have done tests using Nexus 7, Samsung Tab 2.0, Kindle fire(1gen), Galaxy Vibrant. I'd like more complete coverage of devices and vendors.
It supports 4 kinds of device-device connections:
1. for devices at the same wifi net: start PeerDeviceNet at devices simultaneously will allow them find and connect to each other automatically.
2. for devices which are all wifi direct enabled: from system preferences, you can setup wifi direct group connection; PeerDeviceNet will pick up this group info and connect devices in group automatically.
3. if only one device is wifi direct enabled: you can use PeerDeviceNet to create a softwareAP/hotspot at this device (PeerDeviceNet->Connection settings->Create wifi direct hotspot), other wifi devices can use generated ssid and passphrase to connect.
4. for devices with mobile hotspot, you can use mobile hotspot to connect devices and enable sharing.
It extends android's "share/send" feature to allow sharing of the following data:
1. photos/videos (single or multiple) (gallery), audios(astro, solid-browser, or other browsers)
2. web pages (browsers)
3. contact info(Contacts)
4. pdf, word docs (astro or other file managers)
5. apps (google play)
I'll highly appreciate it if you can spend some time installing the app and try out some of the above scenarios. If you encounter Force Closure, please post your device info, android version, or ROM info.
Thanks!
This works fantastically between all of my devices, ranging from Ginger Bread, Honey Comb, and Jelly Bean.
WiFi hotspot also works very well.
This really is a handy app, something like this should definitely be implemented into base Android. Sharing files between devices that have NFC is a breeze, but legacy devices can be troublesome. This is an excellent solution for both worlds.
downloading
looks good
Installed and gave it a test drive.
Works perfectly on our Galaxy S III, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Xperia X8, Packard Bell Liberty Tab G100 and Wildfire S - after adding the devices manually. For some unknown reason they don't see each other, though the local LAN has no restrictions put into place.
Hi, I´ve been testing this between SGN2 N7100 (Stock Rooted) and MyTouch 4g Slide (CM9.1 R8) and it works great (no FC etc.)
I have several questions though:
a) I´d like to buy you a beer. There is a paid version but that one is far behind the free one in updates...
b) chat works great (as long as I have signal. but within a flat its mostly great). Will there be an implementation into the full version?
c) if I buy the full version, will you be updating it?
Thanks! Keep it up!
EDIT: seems to me that your app fights with anyconnect VPN (even if that one is running in background I get FC from anyconnect and superuser permissions asked all time... I´ll look into the behavior a bit closer if I find some time) else everything works good.
EDIT: after reinstall of anyconnect it works flawlessly. Keep it up!

I have been using File Expert to do similar things... perhaps I don't understand this program's full benefits or potential. FE also connects via bluetooth and runs both a web and FTP server.

Agree with that. It's quite painful to close an app by going into settings instead of hitting some button from the home interface.
Testing now
Downloaded and tried it..
I have a GS3 that it seems to work on, and a Nook color (the original one) from like 2 years ago running CM7 that it just gives a black screen on. I can use the regular wifi connect from the Nook and connect to the hotspot from your PeerDeviceNet but there's no sharing of data back and forth, unfortunately. If the app worked on both I'm sure it'd be much better, but I don't suspect the older Nooks will be a big percentage of your users.

Thanks for your feedback. The failure to see peer devices in LAN could be related to one issue i fixed in the latest release; please give it a try.
Also PeerDeviceNet's "search and connect" is based on peer-peer "pairing": no one is acting as server and waiting for other clients. All participating peer devices must start search at same time or in same short time period so that they can find each other. If one peer finished its searching when a new peer starts searching, the new one cannot see the one just finished. It is for security reason.

File expert is a powerful browser with many nice features. PeerDeviceNet is a totally different creature.
As a app, it plainly extends android native "sharing" protocol (send/send_multiple) to connected devices, to allow you share content from one device to another. (As a framework, it provides the components and runtime to support connected mobile apps). It has minimal GUI to support connecting devices and monitoring send/recv sessions. It has strong support for connecting multiple devices, run multiple concurrent send/recv sessions, and running in background.
So normally you will use your favorite apps to browse/view content, and when you want to share the content with another device, you hit "share" button and PeerDeviceNet will be there to help connect to other devices.
So you can use Astro file manager or Solid explorer with PeerDeviceNet to share files across devices similar to file expert.
Also PeerDeviceNet allows you share contact info, web links, or apps from google play to connected devices.

Mmm, too many button presses to get there. It would be easier to have a "Shutdown" button in the notification shade. Otherwise well done! I tested sharing files between LG Optimus 3D (p920) and Xperia Mini (st15i) connected on the same LAN. Everything worked fine.
Can one add a function to "tether" a hotspot? but from wifi and not from 3g?
This would be really awsome.

Yo so I got the full version. The lite is good but wanted to buy you a beer... Managed to transfer 4gb of data in few minutes between my and friends Samsung phone (unfortunately in 3 steps because of the data amount limit). Very useful, the chat also works good.
When will we see full version updated with chat and unlimited data transfer?
Thanks

Not sure this will really help. because when connecting to PeeerDeviceNet hotspot, we already use wifi connection, so why not just connect to external wifi router directly?
