I read about their 3gb policy on here and as I got mine from buy mobile.net I called to check today. I was on the 1gb and they swapped me over and gave me a choice of booster. As i now have all this data I want to spread the love a little! So is it OK to tether assuming there is an app?

Im on a rooted phone
I have done just about everything I need on my phone except tethering. Since I only had Edge available, I had never bothered to look into tethering, but now that 3g is on the horizon for me (June rollout), I am looking to tether.
Now, I recall reading that tethering apps in the market are now blocked. If that is true, where would I go to find the tethering apps, which is the best out there, and how would I go about loading it onto my phone.
I did give PDA net a shot, but the auto installer will not load it onto my phone...
Tethering - using PdaNet, works flawlessly. I have used it on forums and to watch videos. I am getting speeds between 1.5 and 2.0, not bad at all.
NESoid - works great, just make sure the background apps aren't running. Use the search and back buttons for A and B.
Apps - I switched from the iPhone 3Gs and found that any usable App from the App Store can be found in the Android Market.
I have not had any of the problems listed. All I have done is replace the messaging app with handcent's. I do a soft reset every now and again, but that is all the changes I have made.
Sprint and Android together = Awesome - I pay $60 a month with my discount and get unlimited to any mobile, 450 land line minutes, unlimited data and text message.
I've been reading some posts here and see that AT&T locks down tethering downloading. I tried using my wifi, that didn't work. Tried using AppBrain as a marketto download pdanet or easytether and I get a message saying, "The requested item could not be found"
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just rooted my phone. First, what is the Unrevoked reflash for? I though it was a custom ROM, but it seems to be something to back up your phone?
Is the wifi-tethering that installed with the root free, or does it still add that extra $30/month Verizon has on their stock-tether?
Is it possible to underclock the Incredible? My phone never has speed problems, but the battery never lasts the day. It'd be nice to have some trade-off.
Lastly, how do I get a custom ROM onto my phone? Are there any stable ones available yet?
I just found out from mobile Defense that the Android OS will not let this app or any of these type apps work as intended, i.e. the OS does not allow the GPS or Data or WiFi to be turned on remotely if off. Kind of kills the whole idea of having these apps, anyone know of a non root work around as the cellular south HTC Hero cannot be rooted without major issues?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI get an apk file from somewhere. I tried to install it the emulator successfully. (The emulator is built from the latest code in AOSP which should be cupcake or later). But I can't launch the application from the GUI. It complains "The application xxx has stopped unexpectedly." After checking the logcat, I find the message "access to class not allowed". It seems that that process is not allowed to instantiate the Activity class.
Since I can install the apk successfully, I am curious why I can't launch it as a user.
BTW, I tried two ways to install the app. 1) by copying it to /system/ app and rebuild the system.img 2) by using "adb install". Both getting the same error message.
I tried to extract the AndroidManifest.xml file from the apk. But it seems that the file is scrambled and can't read.
Currently in .../external/ppp/pppd/auth.c, function check_passwd, somebody write

I'm the lead developer of TotalCross, a virtual machine that's just like the one used in Android, and targetted for small devices. Currently, using TotalCross, you write programs completely cross- platform among Palm OS 5, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows 32, Windows CE (2,3,4,5,6) and Java-enabled platforms.
We plan to port TotalCross to Android, but i'm concerned about the legal way. I'm aware that there may be hack C APIs for Android, but will these APIs allow the users to sell their applications in a legal fashion?
Btw, what is legal and what's not legal in Android? I could easily port our VM to Android if there were a standard C api on it. However, all i see is Java APIs. I could also port TotalCross to run over the Java API, but i'm concerned about speed. I believe our VM is faster than the one in Android (actually, it is a couple times faster than the BlackBerry VM).
I have a scenario where I need to control how many retries are allowed per hour for data connection establishment in case of failure? How can this be achieved? There is something like nextReconnectDelay in GsmDataConnectionTracker.java, but can't figure out how to reconfigure this so as to reduce number of reconnection attempts? Also is there any settings so that after n retries of failed 3G data call, Android waits for x hours to initiate next connection.

The error I get is this: Not allowed to start service Intent { comp= {com.commonsware.android.service/ com.commonsware.android.service.WeatherPlusService} } without permission private to package I installed the WeatherPlus app from Mark Murphy's dev book. I'm trying to call his weather service from a different app. I think I have an issue with permissions, not really sure how they work. I thought that you could just make your own, and then check against it. With that in mind, listed below is the client manifest, followed by the service manifest. I called my permission "mypermission". Code...

View 1 Replies View RelatedGoogle applications do it, and apparently it used to be part of the public API (via android.os.SystemProperties.) How are we supposed to enable/disable sync on the phone? Disabling/enabling roaming is easy, but I'm beating my head against the wall trying to find a non-hack method for disabling auto-sync (much less the granularity that would actually be nice.) Is this intentional by the framework team? Is it a whoopsie that is planned to be changed later?

I verified the IMEI number with T-Mobile and AT&T and the number is not Blacklisted / Reported Stolen (had to confirm this before I tried anything). AT&T even gave me an unlock code for the phone (no use, as the phone is already unlocked through UMTS/Debug Screen/......./Network Lock settings).I have also refreshed the IMEI data.
