[Q] New Firmware likes Blackberry? - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did anyone try tethering with the new firmware to BlackBerry? Any changes. I want to try it out, but no BB here since it bricked. Waiting for a new one from my company.

tried through USB, system gets the DUN, but gets no internet connection.
T-Mobile the Netherlands with a Bold9700 on OS6.0.0.413

Same. I get the DUN, but same Unable to Connect error. Bold 9700 os5

I tried with my 8110 Pearl, and it worked fine. I got the unable to connect error, but I restarted both devices (battery pull on bb) and it started to work. However, I had to restart both devices again if I wanted to re-tether. Hope that works for you.
Although on a side note, tethering works much easier on my other phone, a Sony Ericsson TM717. It just connects by PAN, and away I go.

[Q] WiFi fails to work at all

Hello,
Its been barely a day that I have purchased X10, came with the stock 2.1 version. I have tried everything I could to try to get the darned WiFi work with my laptop and it just refuses to. I make a WiFi connection, it says "Not in range.." when the laptop which has WiFi is sitting 2 inches away from the phone.
Sometimes, it won't scan. Other times, it will scan and disconnect. And then, I saw it as "connecting.." "disconnected". On the other hand, it has managed to reboot 5 times on its will. I just took the thing out of its box, like seriously?
And I've searched everywhere, no particular help. I have even done a "repair" from PC Companion. No use.

Where are you located? I did have this problem while in Europe a while back. I was not able to connect no matter what i tried. It was something to do with the MAC filtering. So in a nutshell you were not able to connect toy our wireless network? hmm Have you tried the handset in say a coffee shop or at a friends place?
I am in Islamabad, Pakistan. I came over to a friends, and here my laptop picks up the WiFi signal in the house, but the phone fails to do anything. And back at my place, when I make a WiFi connection, other phones do find it, but X10 seems to have lost all self-esteem, and its driving me nuts.:/

seems to me you need return it for another unit. Very odd. being a day or 2 old no problem.
I wish I could have been more help but you have clearly tried all you can!
good luck
Hmm, thank you. I will do that tomorrow.
I figured it just doesn't connect to ad hoc. When I tried connecting at the center on the router, it worked.
I found on these forums a way to edit some file to make it find ad hoc networks, but I can not even find that directory, let alone the file. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
And finally, my phone has restarted 7 times just today. Should I get it changed with another piece?
you need to root the phone to acess the desired directory
Hey, thank you. I did read about rooting in the past days here but it is something that I don't want to do, I hear it voids the warranty?
And yes, I got the phone set changed with another piece. This one has not restarted once, even after the 2.1 update. Thats a relief.
After I upgraded mine to 2.1, I had the exact same issue. I thought I had screwed something up during the upgrade... so I flashed it again and STILL had the problem.
After a couple of hours screwing around with my phone, I rebooted my wireless router and it connected right away and I haven't had any issue with it since.

[Q] Rooting anf BT Openzone from O2

I have my contract with O2 UK and with that I get free access to BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspots. Unfortunately at I am unable to login via the landing page when I type my number in. I have reset my wifi account as instructed by O2, in essence, unregistering my number with BT openzine and re-registering it. Openzone ahs some sort of validation feature that checks if the phone you are using if approved by the network proivder for use on open zone. I have rooted my phone but have not installed any custom roms etc. Do you think rooting has effect my ability to connect to the hot spots?
I have just purchased a GS2 (not rooted yet) but I also have a Nexus one that has been rooted for some time and I get BT fon no problem.
I also have the same problem. Apparently the Samsung Galaxy S II is so new that they haven't had time to accredit it with BT Openzone and The Cloud yet. I spoke to a nice chap at O2 who is making enquiries and promised to ring me when more news is available.
Openzone is also fairly hit-and-miss.... I've got Infinity and obviously access to OZ/Fon is included, never was able to connect anywhere (don't even get the landing page half the time) be it with the netbook or phone so I opted out . It's unforunately quite common, there's a lot of threads on the subjet in the BT forum. Might opt back in at some point just to see if it's got any better.

USB connection problems

HI All,
I have the Galaxy s3 in white, 32gb bought in Hongkong, that where I am.
I cant connect the phone to my PC via USB. I took one phone back already confirmed as broken in the store and replaced, i tested the replacement in the store and it worked, i.e. connected to the PC, now back at home I cant connect this new model.
My wife has the same exact phone, and hers connects fine, as in PMP mode, no Kies involved.
We are both running andriod 4.1.1 everything is identical except for the build number, mine ends with ZSDLK2, her's is ZSDLK4.
Develop options and debuggin are off, everything is normal.
Does anyone have any suggestions as it pretty annoying right now.
I did get the phone connected wirelessly via Kies, however then that program decided to crash and has done each time since. We are on Win7 64bit by the way. All our PCs accept my wifes phone but not mine, at one point my phone was charging via the USB, it looks as though it has stopped doing that as well now, so I might have a dead phone on my hands soon.
Thanks,

[Q] Help With Blu Studio 5.0 d530

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on an "interesting" problem I'm having with my new phone. This may be my first post on here, but I have scoured this and other forums trying to come up with an answer but alas have found nothing, so here goes:
I am currently using Simple Mobile which operates on T Mobile's network. I have near-perfect signal at home but can't seem to use the damned thing for Facebook, Tapatalk, Zynga games, internet, etc without my interent connection timing out on me. I recently switched from Comcast to Dish Network and no longer have wifi at home so this is killing me.
This phone screams on wifi, and it seemingly works fine everywhere else via my data connection except at home. I normally show an H or an E at home. From what I understand T Mobile is replacing all of its edge circuits with HSPA+, so I'm thinking they just haven't got around to upgrading the tower closest to my house as of yet. I decided to get my girlfriend prepaid service on T Mobile with that $30 per month 5GB plan through Walmart and slapped the sim in my old Motorola Defy and it works great. However, if I put that same sim in my phone I'm back to square one with the same data connection problems, so I know this is not a problem with Simple Mobile (plus like I said as long as I am not at home my phone works well, too.).
So here's the real kicker -- if I use the PDANet+ app on my phone and turn on the wifi hotspot, it works just fine when I connect using my home desktop computer! This is so aggravating, why would I time out with my data connection for my own phone but as a hotspot it work flawlessly??? I'm pretty close to giving up on T Mobile because what good are they if I can't get a data connection on the phone itself at home?
Also I should mention that all of the APN settings are definitely correct. Perhaps there is a baseband selection that I can't find somewhere in the Blu Studio 5.0 d530 that may help (I know there's one in the Motorola Defy). Maybe it's because T Mobile recognizes that my phone is not a T Mobile branded phone (but the Defy IS), and if so, how can they push the whole "bring your own phone" thing so hard?
In any event, I may try just switching to Straight Talk but I really don't want to go through the hassle of porting my number and all that -- plus I'm not sure how good their signal is in my area. A search online for closest cell towers to my address results in T Mobile by a longshot.
Any help is appreciated, guys -- I'm frustrated to no end here.

Vido mini 3G tablet help

Hi clever android folks
needing some help..
I buy a year ago from dx.com a tablet called Vido mini 3G,,, its been really good tablet once I got it rooted and
xposed added etc
but this week I decide to try its hotspot feature since our home wan went down and had to switch to 3g and
wanted to share same SIM card data package with other devices like win8 and other androids
the hotspot aka wifi tethering just fails. it connects but stuck on obtaining ip and if manually give a ip it says connects
but no throughput happens.
has anyone got one of these tablets with JB 4.2.2 image from 20131119
and had same problem and found a solution
i suspect kernel or firmware issue.. like bad wlan driver??
the USB tethering works fine though
or better still is there a custom rom for this model I see a few for kitkat for vido N70 but I dont think its
the same hardware.
