Hi guys,
I've got a few devices that won't connect to Ad-Hoc network's and I was curious if the Droid 2 was capable of sharing Infrastructure wifi (not ad-hoc). I believe this requires extra hardware on the phone and wasn't sure of the details. If the device does support it, anyone know of tether software that can do this?

Sorry if this is a repost, search is currently down.

Yup. Check out my tutorial video on how to do it.

Really appreciate it man, exactly what I was looking for. I got a quick question though. That looks a lot like the stock app that you are supposed to pay monthly for. Should I be worried here? (I know tethering is normally against the rules but I felt more comfortable using a custom app).

It is the stock app but it's been hacked to not charge you for anything. The hack has been put out by Team Black Hat who are pretty smart people so I trust it won't screw you. If you are afraid use it lightly then get your bill and see if any charges accrue.
Ok. Right. After 24 hours of owning this device, their is no file manager whatsoever out of the box. It cannot connect to any wifi anywhere. It cannot be paired [well, it "pairs" its just not "connected"] with my epic 4g touch via bluetooth to share my 3g connection. It cannot accept usb tethering. It basically cant do anything. Its on 3.1 so its not an upgrade problem. Its a piece of ****. Why the hell has nobody addressed this? I know im not the only one with these issues.

1. So install one?
2. Sounds like either a user error or a defective unit.
3. Are you just connecting them through Bluetooth Settings or are you using a tethering app?
4. Update to 3.2.
Ultimately, you're an idiot. This tablet has it's problems, but you're creating more for yourself by being so stupid.

i came into this thread thinking your a500 creaks like h*!!. How hard is it to download a file manager/explorer? Lol
How does one download a file manager without an internet connection? Oh wait, ill put the apk on my phones sd card and place it in my iconia....oh wait, there is no way to access it. Hurr.

While im at it ill update it. Hold on. Wait. I cant. Maybe ill use barnacle and go through every channel until it picks up the signal. Oh wait. It cant. Every channel doesnt show. Maybe pdanet tablet. Wait, I need it installed on my acer. Wait. Cant do anything in the market. Maybe ill root it and try finding a rom with a wifi fix. Oh ****, wait. No file manager to install the gingerbreak. Has nobody else encountered any of this? This is my second device in 2 days that is basically a brick.

No really, you won't be happy with that either. You really should take my suggestion....or you'll be sorry!
Does the galaxy have the same wifi problems or no stock file manager too? Thats all I need.
And nononononono. Ive been rooting devices since the g1 days, im not going near ios thank you very much.
And its not user error, has anyone on xda bought an iconia within the last month? I dont understand why im the only one who is dealing with these issues.

No idea, as your wifi problem is either one of two things, bad hardware, or pilot error, but judging by your posts, I'm betting on the latter.
Either way, IMHO, you'd be much happier with what I suggested for you.

Rather than your attitude problem, and everyone running you down for it, lets see if we can actually HELP you, shall we?
First, the A500 isn't a piece of ****.. It's a great machine with great hardware and only one or two VERY minor issues. One of those MIGHT be why you can't connect to wifi.
Y'see, the A500 isn't able to connect to an ad-hoc wifi connection, it needs a proper hotspot in infrastructure mode. Once you have THAT, you'll be able to connect and download things fine.
However, it's not impossible that you have a faulty device, OR maybe a device that returned to the store after someone screwed with it, so I suggest a full hardware reset. There's a pinhole in the side of your device. Press this to reset your hardware. Once booted up, press it AGAIN as it's advised to reset twice to clear any possible hardware issues.
If you still have problems after that, and you know your router has infrastructure mode, then you might have bad hardware so take it back.
go to Mc Donalds get on the free wi fi there down load your stupid File manager or go to walmart get a wifi router and have all the wifi you want. Thats is if you have internet connection at home.

I just want to clear up that's not an A500 issue, it's an Android issue .. And I'm not even sure an iPad would be appropriate for the IP - perhaps this would be better suited..

no he wouldn't because the ipad sux, that bias is from personal experience. here is why ANY apple mobile device sucks
1. to download any music or apps from your pc (which i had to because i get my music LEGALLY for free from http://www.8bitpeoples.com/discography and https://8bc.org and none of that is on the itunes store) (or mac if you're an idiot {because macs can play about 0.003 % of the best pc games and even if they were compatible they are not powerful enough to play them and have them look good at all, in fact my alienware m18x LAPTOP is more powerful than the most "powerful" imac.} this is also from personal experience) you have to connect to itunes (more like itarded) and "sync" your piece of crap forever and because of antipiracy bulls*** you can have ONLY 1 email account linked to 5 pc's (which is a ridiculously low number btw)
2. you HAVE to have a credit card (which your kids can abuse VERY easily)
3. you have to hack it just to download any kind of emulator to play your (owned) classic games.
4. apple makes s*** sandwiches that cost $80 to $200 to make and charge about 4 to 8 times what they cost to make (and yes that is still ridiculous even AFTER factoring in marketing and profit) which makes apple suck so bad it's amazing they aren't bankrupt by now.
5. with android you have LIMITLESS customization on a device with YOUR choice (not apple's) of screen size, power, ports to plug stuff in and MORE.
sorry for ranting like that it's just i am fed up with apple's bulls*** they have been pulling for years.

No apologies required bro, I can't stand Apple's business practices either.
I noticed that I could not connect to 5GHz after updating to stock ICS. I mentioned this before in a thread and wanted to share with everyone else here. This requires root!
This is credited to Entropy512, I used his guide for the sgs2 found here.
I use Es File Explorer found on the Play market
1. Navigate to /system/etc/wifi/
2. Open nvram_net.txt and change the ccode from GB to ALL.
3. Save
4. Reboot
Pretty straight forward and should be easy for everyone.
For P7500 users and international firmware, check to verify nvram_net.txt_us ccode=US
Thanks.. working so far but i have to test it on 5GHz Access Point.
Will reprot later...

Thanks for this info.
This is, so far, the only reason I want to root my tab.
My tab works great. No problems with YouTube or anything else.
However, I have an Amazon Prime membership, and streaming videos is a chore.
I can get it to work reasonably well with some videos, but most are choppy, etc., the usual stuff.
I'm pretty sure it's due to the wireless access I have, an Apple Airport Express. It works fine for everything except Amazon videos.
The range is quite limited, and I think it's just not quite up to the task of streaming movies (a shame really, because it's otherwise been solid as a rock since I installed it in March. It was also a snap to set up even for me, who knows nothing about wireless).
I'm guessing that the new model Express, which has both 2.4 and 5, will give me the extra ooomph I need.
If not, I may have to bite the bullet and get a new router. I hesitate because the wired router I have works great.
Thanks again.

The steps should be similar. The information was originally pulled from my old phone and the files were essentially the same. Pretty much need to make the change and save the files.

Since it did not help, you will need to inquire in your device section since this is for the first gen Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P75xx series). It might require more than the changes I posted for this tab.

Hi Guys!
I hope this has not been discussed and it's not a dumb question.
I just got my first android phone which is the note3. Ex-apple fanboy and man am I glad I switched!
Dont think I can ever go back to my iphone ever again.
That said, I cant seem to figure out one feature. Is there a way to create keyboard shortcuts? Ie - type omw and the phone will convert that to on my way?
I have looked online and all over in the phone and this is driving me insane!
Thanks again!

I don't actually know if there is a keyboard out there that supports it. SwiftKey doesn't and the Samsung stock doesn't either. Smart keyboard might have this feature, you can try search for it in the playstore. But if it's not that important to you, then I'd suggest to try SwiftKey instead. It's a killer keyboard and I bet it will blow your mind if you're used to Apple's keyboard

I guess I will have to keep my eye open for something of the sort in the future.
Out of curiousity, I thought I read about some form of screen recording function on the galaxy note, but have no yet found that either.
Is that a feature of the note3 or an app? All I can do is screenshots it seems...

The Note 3 does not have screen recording. It is not limited to hardware though, so it is possible in the future. Screen recording is built in with Android 4.4 and above, so you might see the feature in the upcoming 4.4 update for Note 3. However, it will probably not arrive until January sometime is my guess. It's also worth noting that especially Samsung is known for removing some of Androids core features and add some of their own. Therefore it's not sure that we will get screen recording with 4.4 for Note 3. With that being said, you can download an application that offers screen recording, however that require your phone rooted. Keep in mind that rooting will possibly break your warranty.

Thanks for the info! Rooting Isn't a problem, and I'm ok with the warranty thing. I actually pay a monthly fee for an extended warranty because I drop phones a lot
I wish Samsung would be more like the Nexus series!
Any programs that record the screen that you guys recommend?

I don't know any myself, I just know there are a few in the Play Store. I never had the need for it myself, so I haven't tried them out. I'd recommend searching in the playstore and looking for the most downloaded one as well as the one with most stars.

Hello everyone.
I will be getting this device soon and I am excited. About 2-3 years ago I used to help some devs build custom ROMS for a ZTE mobile, and I would like to contribute on this tablet now. Back in the day - things were very simple but I am sure everything has changed since then.
So my questions are - what tools do we have? What limitations does Samsung put in place? What tools do we need?
Let's get some development going guys? Would be nice to get the basics out the way so we can start to get "real".

We need some app that allows us to use Note 10.1 as wacom digitizer for PC. Just for use with Photoshop or else. Via USB or BT. Didn`t find something even close.

Root is possible now. Some models without tripping knox.
Recovery is out as well, works fine for me but some still have issues.
If you can contribute to sorting that IMHO it would be a good step towards custom roms and kernels.

I second that. I tried a couple wifi based ones and they are very laggy. I need to learn how to do it with my wife's Surface Pro 2. I'm sure that is flawless.

It's doable, but I'm not too sure on the precision. I know some people have used a remote connection app to use devices as graphics tabs. IMO it's not of major importance yet, and could probably be done pretty easily once we have the basics in place better.
If root is good without tripping Knox - that would be one thing sorted. I'll take a look into recovery when my device comes.
