Has anybody figured out wired tethering yet?
I use my phone as my primary internet source and I get a critical overheating message that pops up after around 30 minutes of wifi tethering.
I have SetCPU and have it lower the CPU frequency and that helps a little bit, but this thing is going to melt if I have to use it for very long.
When I attempt to use wired tethering it doesn't recognize my device as it should.
I have installed the LG drivers when I rooted the phone; however, it still needs some drivers that weren't included in that package.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I dont quite know how to help you with your wired tether prob but Im also experiencing extreme over heating when I wifi theter..or when I charge the device..wth is going on with this? im fearing for the phone too much damn heat generating from it only when I do these two things...SMFH..I HATE THIS WHILE HOLDING IT..
I fixed this issue by installing the LG software update package on my pc. It installed the needed drivers for wired tethering.
Now I can tether to my heart's delight without melting this beauty.

I have the app android booster to monitor battery use. When I go to applications everything is at 1% and 2% but the android process "security storage" is consuming 98% battery? Does anyone know what this is? Is there a way to minimize it or can I freeze it with Titanium Backup?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
I wish I knew as it's killing my battery also, I'm thinking I'll have to reflash or even odin back to stock before I'll get rd of the battery drain caused by secure storage, I found out it's com.android.providers.security that started secure storage but not much else
I see nobody is addressing this issue, or even explaining it. Too bad, as I'm having the same issue. The annoying part is, no matter what kernel I run, the same thing happens: The phone will sit sedately idle until I want to use it, then the minute I try to do something "Security Storage" starts running and the phone becomes non-responsive for 30 seconds to a minute or two while that stupid app is running.
Why can't this app do its maintenance while the phone is idle, rather than the minute the user wants to do something, or be forced into "nice" mode (don't know if Android has such a setting, but it's based on linux and linux does have such a setting) so that it's only allowed to hog the CPU when the phone is idling.

I've noticed a lot of system resources get wasted even after removing the knox apps and enterprise and container agent stuff that comes on samsung phones. I mean, I guess its good as an option to have if you have use for it. Problem is tho, for ppl like me, its also built into the system in order to make those implementations effective and when you install a custom ROM and or kernel it causes errors. I think thats why some people dont like touchwiz ROMs and think theyre laggy. When the kernel and system are not synced anymore, crap goes on in the background that is just a waste. I still dont know much really, but I spent some time trying to fugure out how to disable some loggers and errors that were going on and were pissing me off. Here is a link to a post I ran across that helped shed some light on some stuff. Be careful tho, and if you don't know what your doing, spend some time to learn about what all that stuff does, because it's system stuff and you could find yourself in a bootloop or with an expensive azz brick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599266

interestingly using icyfusion rom and terrasilent kernel, I cannot find this line in my build.prop. anyone else not seeing it there? secure storage is eating up at least 20% constantly of battery/cpu accord to elixir2. My battery drain continues to plague the device and I can only get about 1-2 hours of light use out of it while it continues to drain when screen is off. All I want to do is use it to listen to some tunes and I'm regretting rooting the device now. Refreshing to stock, wiping everything...formatting etc. has no effect. Has anyone solved this problem (presumably related to secure storage?) with another method?
(yp-g1 us version, currently on GB 2.3.5 stock, rooted with terrasilent kernel).

I tried CM11 which worked fine for a week or so and then all of the sudden the battery drain problem appeared. I didn't check the build.prop when on that because I decided to reflash to stock and start from scratch trying different roms/kernels. I can't shake the battery drain now no matter what I do - factory reset full wipe, you name it. I guess I could try installing cm11 again and see if it is in the build.prop then?? I just don't know how to proceed at this point.
My suggestion would be to go into developer options and take a look at process stats to see if there are any rogue processes running that you don't need. You can also download and install BetterBatteryStats app from here on XDA or purchase the paid version from the play store so that you can specifically pinpoint what is causing your device problems. Also, older devices often need batteries replaced because they wear out. I don't think the secure storage bug affects AOSP based ROMs since it is related to Samsung's Knox. Another tip would be to use a build prop editor app that has a search function to make finding things easier.

thanks for the suggestions, but it's all similar to what I've already tried. I did use Elixir2 and another battery status app to monitor things, and I have also gone through running process and disabled everything that I don't need. I did order a new battery just to check, but I don't think that's the problem. The top part of the case (where the CPU is running I presume, not the battery) is getting very hot, so there is some problem with a program or service overheating the CPU which in turn drains the battery. I just charged to full today and turned the screen off so that the device will sleep. 2 hours later, it is dead. I checked battery stats in settings and there is no indication that the device wakes while screen is off...I'm just totally at a loss. It's almost like it's a hardware issue maybe caused by a kernel or something like that, rather than an app or service. I just have no idea. Someone in another forum advised me to flash to stock and run a logcat app and post results..so I guess I'll do that. I'm worried though, because I was googling prices for ipod touches earlier today....I don't want to go back to the dark side...but I just want a device that works and I can listen to music for more than 30 minutes too.

thanks, but that was one of the first things I turned off. I only want to use the device for music listening and quick browsing/email. I shut off wifi when not using and leave it in airplane mode as well....definitely something internally wrong with the device somewhere that goes beyong changing the usual battery draining settings. Still have the logcat running and the device is making very strange noises I've never heard before...popping, screeching scratchy sounds....very strange...things just seem to be getting worse and I'm worried I'm quickly heading to an expensive paper weight situation... Battery continues to drain at 20% or more/hour with screen off. I think after this if no progress is made,...I may try to unroot the device, but I don't know if that will solve the problem and will undo the damage already done.
i set up my device with everything , set up application make installations , played with wifi and installed games tried games with no interuption,
and i noticed as i was playing a game after an hour or so that the device was getting crazy hot ...
i removed backplate and touched the metal where the sim card was in ... even hotter !!!
is it the same for you ? does it really get that hot ???
(i noticed that and i brought the phone back, couse when it was hot i get foce close and sound was gone, had to wait to cool down or restart the phone to get sound back. so i hope my second phone will arrive today)
Mine gets really hot at times too, I noticed it the other day when chatting on Facebook.
Someone else mentioned that it was due to the app constantly trying to update itself, but I've now installed a temperature app so I can get some details and actually ask HTC direct about it, although it's looking like this phone will have to go back at some point...
-Just so I can keep a record, it's been idling all morning bar an email or two and it's at 26.5 degrees at the moment. Nice and cool.
you will bring the phone back to get a new one too??
I haven't sent it back yet, but then that's because it's only happened once and I want to try to get some details to present to HTC so I can get their word on it.
i askted htc on it ...
they just say .... we understand that youre disappointed ... try these solutions to get rid of the problems you have. 1. make a soft reset 2. meke a hardreset !!
if this doesnt help send the phone back to us to get a new one
thats it
Don't worry about it, it's exactly the same for the Galaxy SII. These dual core CPUs are designed to run hot, they have to be with the limited space available and almost nothing in the way of heat dissipation. The Galaxy SII shuts itself off as a safety measure if it thinks it will be damaged by the heat (never happened to me though) and I'm sure the Sensation has a similar safety mechanism.
problem solved
Same happened to me in the past and now, well I have to live with it. "Black Screen of Death"
I tried upgrade the radio, and it seems to occur less often and has never happened if I use Energy Titanium 21916 (the version without sense).
It especially happens very often if I use beautiful roms, the eye candy ones sense 2.5 29022.
It happen to all the lovely roms from Mighty, Energy, Sharkie I really would love to use.
The only rom recommend you is the Energy Titanium 21916, though it does not look pro like other glossy ones but it's the most mighty.
One thing you may try is to set it to just CDMA or GSM and at the same time use Bandswitch 2.9 and just force it to stick to what you ask it to do (UMITS or 3G). I do this and it seems to solve the probem.
Good luck

I'm currently using energy titanium 21916. It's still happened to me. Though now it no longer freezes on the standby screen, instead it will not allow me to lock the screen (turns back on again straight away) and no other applications will launch. Effectively requiring me to remove the battery
Bandswitch 2.9 is not free, what does it do exactly? just force a certain frequency?
I found a setting in the rom somewhere to force GSM & 900+2100mhz frequency though it hasn't seemed to help.
I have the exact same issue. Mine started on 8/26 right after I dropped my phone. I've been using XDAndroid as well as this is the only way the phone works properly. As soon as the screen shuts off in Windows, it will not come back on no matter what I try, but everything else works including answering/redialing/ending calls. I'm assuming it's some type of file corruption somewhere since the battery popped out when it fell (which has happened many times). The issue was present from the first power on after the drop. Hopefully someone has an answer to how this can be fixed. Won't matter much if we get a NAND update soon!
thought I should post an update, i've stuck with energy rom titanium 6.1 for now and thus far its been ok. I've not had it freeze after standby, rather it'll refuse to turn the screen off (comes straight back on). But thats because the phone is busy doing whatever it does. If I wait a few seconds it's usually ok
This is still usually caused by the phone after a call, whereby it may hang for some seconds or a minute. I know its not the most ideal solution but it may help narrow down a possible cause. It may or may not be the radio itself at fault but if it is, the freezing is rather a result of the OS. Perhaps the radio is sending something and titanium is able to process whatever it is (albeit slowly) whereas other roms just tend to get stuck on it
I know its not the most ideal solution but giving energy rom titanium a go might be worthwhile if your phone is as crucial to you as it is to me. Besides, i'm actually quite happy with titanium now, it's certainly A LOT faster than sense. And with a drop down menu vs regular start screen it's more intuitive and faster to get around as well
The problem's solved with 6.1 version with SPB mobile shell. Phone works fine now.
Was thinking about picking one of these up to replace me lugging my laptop around for school. Is the Wi-fi version of this rootable ? Also If anyone could chime in on their experiences I would appreciate it. Been reading about battery drain and wifi issues make me a little hesitant ?
Yes, the 900 is rootable, at the cost of a tripped knox flag. I've had mine since about a month after it was released, and I really like it. I purchased the Logitech bluetooth keyboard and it has been really good so far. Out of the box, the tablet is great, but if you root, install TWRP and flash the new debloated ROM, the device becomes significantly better. Lag pretty much disappears, boot times are vastly better, and so on. I'd suggest looking into Xposed for additional tweaks for your device as well. I've not experienced the wifi dropouts ( and I think there may be a new xposed module out there for it... do a little searching and you'll find it ) on my device, either pre or post root. Battery drain doesn't seem any worse than any other tablet I've ever owned, but I control what's running with boot manager, and I kill wifi and BT when I know it's going to sit unused for a while.
