[Q] Looking for help from other Focus unbranders w/ NoDo

I've already tried posting this in the official thread in the WP7 General board but I'm certain it's already been lost in the commotion. So here's the deal:
1) I initially downloaded the PBK file and couldn't run it due to having Adobe Software installed.
2) I managed to discover that rasphone.exe is the program that's supposed to run PBK files and made it the default program for it.
3) When I run the PBK file it tells me the "phonebook is empty."
This means I can't just go in and select the hungarian VPN and go. Would someone be so kind as to go into the properties for the network, and copy down all settings? I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same situation...

try right clicking the file and use open remote access or whatever the name is...that fixed it for me

Ahaha, you can manually set up a new vpn using ttu.2.usaip.eu as the server, and the update seems to be working

Version 1.0.0 works fine for me. I've been using it since it was released and I've noticed only one reboot. There are patches that fixes compass and camera as well (read the thread). It's stable enough for daily usage (tested with ARC theme).
Cheers!

I have an another bug with video recording. I record, than i play it, the picture lates 2-3 sec. I checked the video on pc and there is the same problem... I have the latest baseband, and i did a factory reset and also a reflash. Can anyone help me?

[SCRIPT] Change Hostname v6 08/07/2012

This will also be the last update to this script for the foreseeable future. Someone else is more than welcome to take what is here and run with it though.
08-07-2012 fixed a few typos and problems with quotes.
01-29-2012 added some variables to check for the existence of things and get correct paths.
01-06-2012 fixed hostname path.
01-02-2012 Updated to truly work on all devices.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Big thanks to cdesai for pointing out a nice little enhancement.
This is version 5 of this script.
This script is designed to change the hostname of your device so that you can access it through your network by name instead of android_0123456789ABCEDF.
Your device will also be able to be seen at your router by the new name as well.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#change devName to whatever you want.
devName="changeMe"
#random variables
devHostPath=$(which hostname)
devGetPath=$(which getprop)
devSetPath=$(which setprop)
if [ "$($devGetPath net.hostname)" = "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname does not need to be changed."
else
echo "Device hostname is being changed to $devName."
$devHostPath $devName
$devSetPath net.hostname $devName
if [ "$($devGetPath net.hostname)" != "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname has not been changed."
else
echo "Device hostname has been successfully changed."
fi
fi
Download Hostname.sh
Download Hostname.sh to your device.
Use a text editor to change the "changeMe" in the script to whatever you want. [Keep the quotes]
Use Script Manager to run the script.
The script output will tell you if the command has completed successfully.
Once it has been run your device will be named whatever you change the "changeMe" to.
*Additionally, this script should be able to be run on any device without issues but I have only tested this on Galaxy Nexus AOKP and Droid Bionic Eclipse v3.0.
**Standard disclaimer, I am in no way responsible for ANYTHING that happens to your phone that you have done.
***This code is provided free of charge and is released with no warranty explicit or implied.
If you find this post useful or it helped in any way please hit the thanks button.

Can anyone confirm this worked for them? Doesn't seem to be working for me.

What's the output when you run it?
And when you run it a second time?
You can check at your router as well by logging into it and checking the DHCP leases.
Oh, I figured this was assumed, but you have to have root and run it as root.

Yet another idea, you can specify the host name while executing the script as an argument (quick changes )
You can use read devname and if it's empty you can get model no. From build.prop

I left it static so that it can be run at boot and will always have the same name. The model could work but it is more for changing the name to something you want rather than being dictated what it will be.
Oh and depending on your model you could have a space or other special in it.

LG Revolution
On LG Revolution running GingerVolt 1.3, I had to change /bin/hostname to /system/xbin/hostname.
The script can be modified to determine the location of hostname command , rather than hardcoding the path.

I am working on a V5 of this which should be released within the next 2 weeks that should address almost all issues. It works as is on some devices but not all.
I have also found from my testing that setting the hostname is inconsequential and will only appear when you run the hostname command.

Thanks! This is the path on the Galaxy Nexus (ICS 4.02) and i was able to get it to update successfully.
However, if this does not update the host name that is sent to my wireless router, the point of the exercise is moot to me. But at least I learned a little bit more about my phone!

This has been posted elsewhere, but to set the name set for the Wifi DHCP request:
Code:
echo yourphonehostname > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
Obviously, this needs root. You can stick that in a new or existing script in /etc/init.d.
No need to reboot the phone for this to take effect. Stop and start wifi to get the phone to request a new DHCP lease. Note that if your phone was already connected to a router, then the new name might not show up immediately. You'll need drop the previous name from the router dhcp client table by either waiting for the lease to expire, rebooting the router or expiring the lease manually (e.g., in Tomato Admin GUI, click on the remaining lease time under lease column in the Status -> Device List page.)

How To Fix Nexus S ICS Wifi Issue

If you have received errors like
Set ISCAN for wl_iw_combined_scan_set failed with -22
or your wifi turn on switch hangs, this is the solution for you
its appear that ICS is unable to set right frequency when your sim card country isnt US or EU, odd thing, but common thing about us (people who have wifi issue with ics) is that we don't live in us or eu.
fix is fairly simple, you need sqlite (which i got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067944)
and all you need is to run
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'EU');"
turn wifi on and off, then you are good to go until next reboot.
the thing is i wonder where i should put this command to make it run *at right time* on next login, /system/etc/init.d/99nexusinit didn't did the trick, any idea?

Sql you used is just for one session, use the one i added 1 line to and it should stick on reboot.
INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'EU');
Commit;
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

i received this error
SQL error: cannot commit - no transaction is active

Can read out of the database with
Select * from secure;
If not then there might be somethin wrong with the connection.
In this case add commit; to the original code you used.

[Q] Android Market "File Invalid" Error *On some WiFi connections**

Hi everyone,
So I've rooted my Kindle Fire and installed the Google Android Market. When I'm on my home Internet connection, I can download/install any books/apps I please. However, when I try to do so on another Wifi connection, say, at a friends house, I am always shown an "Invalid File" error after the download completes.
I've read that clearing the cache can sometimes fix it, but I've not been able to find how to do that in any of the Settings menu.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks a lot in advance

don't think it has something to do with your kf
maybe he is running a firewall on the router and blocking some ports

I can try. Do you know which ports I should ensure are open?
I've tried on several different Wifi connections and all of them except for mine give the same error.
I cleared the cache/data of the Market.

don't know the ports - sorry
but an other idea:
do you possibly use a fixed ip adress on the kf ?

I did check to see if any of the Wifi connections where on a static IP connection because I read somewhere that turning that off might help, but none of them where.

I tried that and connected to the Wifi for next door and it still gave me the error. The only connection it works on is the connection that was used to setup the Google Market.....no other connections work. It's almost like it's somehow locked to that internet connection....

I did that several times. In fact, I've downloaded a CM7 rom and install it. And the Market. Guess what?; the same bloody "Package File is Invalid" error.
It must be something to do with the Internet connection because earlier today, I was at a new Wifi connection and it worked there too! But straight away when I went over to a Wifi connection that it wouldn't work in the past, and it still wasn't working. This is really bloody annoying me.

found a post - maybe a hint in the right direction:
This may or may not be relevant to your situation, but here's what the deal was with mine. I have CyanogenMod 7.1 installed, which puts dalvik-cache in the /cache partition instead of /data.
When you install apps from the Market, it downloads the .apk to /cache/downloads and installs it from there. If you don't have enough room in /cache/dalvik-cache for the installer to put the necessary files there, the install fails with a "package file is invalid" error.
There's nothing wrong with the package file at all. It's purely a matter of not having enough space in your /cache partition.
(forgive me if you see this exact same post in multiple places - if I'd known weeks ago that it wasn't really an "invalid package file" issue, it would've saved me a ton of useless googling - I'm just trying to spare others the same hassle)

Hi, Thanks a lot for that, but I've tried that too and it didn't get it working. I think it's something about the DNS/Ports as that would be the only way to explain why it always works on some connections, but not others. On all of the connections, it connects and fully downloads the file, it just can't install them.....

dns ? then i have some:
Addresses are cached for 600 seconds (10 minutes) by default. Failed lookups are cached for 10 seconds. From everything I've seen, there's nothing built in to flush the cache. This is apparently a reported bug http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7904 in Android because of the way it stores DNS cache. Clearing the browser cache doesn't touch the DNS, the "hard reset" clears it.

would think so - but i'm not shure if this is existent on the kf - can't take a look - don't have it with me - check with a file explorer or adb (ls -l) if it is there
