(Q) 3g hotspot

Any automated programs to hack the 3g hotspot app? The droids have the team black hat patcher that you flash via cwm. Shouldn't it be just as easy to do for us instead of the manual method on a pc?

Check in the themes and apps section for an app called Quick Settings. I tried it and can confirm the wifi hot spot in that apps works. However I have done the manual hack as well.

I thought that app only activated the hotspot app, not hack it

You can use qpst to adjust your phone settings. This is the hack you want, it works. You gotta follow some directions... search the forums here, or droidforums, you will find a thread with everything you need
Sent from a Superclean Fascinate
I was asking specifically for a way to do it without the use of software on a pc and manually making the changes... including qpst... or anything software on occasion related... if possible

Wireless tether issues with Theory Roms

I have an issue using the wireless tether app included with monolith theory. When ever the screen turns off, I lose internet connection, but it instantly comes back when the screen is turned back on. I had the same issue with the first theory Rom as well.
Has anybody else experienced this?

I haven't tried the wireless tether, but have you checked in settings under wireless and network - mobile network settings to see if the box that says "enable always on mobile data" is checked? If that box is not checked, the data will turn off when the screen goes off. Hope this helps!

In the Wireless Tether App, unchecked Disable Wake Lock.

I will try it when I get home and see if that fixes it.

[Solved][Q] GPS voice stuck on DATA CONNECTION LOST

I was using my GPS today to goto my cousins house, and I noticed every time it comes time for my GPS to announce the next turn, instead of saying something like "turn left" it says "data connection lost". At first I thought I was getting bad service, but then I realized I have full 4g and phone signal and my GPS is fine, its just changing the words to "data connection lost".
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using Google Navigation fully updated on NRG 8/1 stock Rom with the most recent faux kernel. It only started happening, or rather I only noticed it, after I installed the Google Now Zip in the Amaze development section, so later I'm gonna uninstall and try it again. Any other suggestions?

I had a similar issue where it would give me a street name(I was not in my home state and the name was from home) instead of the turns although it was sending me in the right direction. I uninstalled and reinstalled....problem solved. Good luck.
Live and Die on this day....
Did you uninstall Now or Navigation?

Sorry yeah, I asked because I stated in OP that it started after I installed Google Now.
But you were right. Once I reinstalled Google Navigation it fixed.itself. thanks.

I.had it happen where it was just announcing the same direction over and over, but the map was still sending me the right way. I just deleted the app data, and ask was fine again.

Turn off GPS?

This is obviously maybe he means another way.

Lol, probably
I think in the app setting there should be an option so
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
I don't want gps turned off for everything tho

Use friendcaster pro
On FB app settings turn off the second option, it should sounds like "position service on messenger" or something like that
I was having the same issue until I turned off the notification for nearby friends.

Inactive WiFi Showing as Active in Battery History

It's anyone having their WiFi showing as active on their battery history, even though it's turned off?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I neglected to mention that I only noticed this after installing the 4.4.2 yesterday.

Did you uncheck the wifi scan even when wifi is OFF in advanced settings?
I want aware of that option, but it seems to have done the trick. I wonder how it will affect battery life, if it all.
Thanks.

wifi may also get used in combo with gps check location settings.
