My Infuse keeps putting "Connecting to DM Server...." in the notification bar but it seems to never connect. I had a similar issue with it never being able to connect to AT&T servers to download software updates even before I installed a custom ROM. Now I'm running Infused 1.2.0 and I was hoping that upgrading to the version of Infused that included the AT&T update would stop the notifications but it didn't....is there any way to just disable the DM Server updates? If AT&T won't frackin' work, I'll just get my updates from the devs...
Go to
Settings>>Applications>>Manage >>Running >>DM update (or something like that) and clear the data.

Okay just what the tittle says I think we need a place to list all of our post root problems with toast root and than flashed stock root rom.
I myself seem to be having drastically worse battery even with atk running... I think im still getting 4g unlike other people which seems kind of strange... I haven't been able to apply the ota update because it just fails upon reboot. Also the sprint hotspot app turns on but i cannot connect on my computer no ip address and thus no connection...
I couldn't find qik in the market but it seems like that was their server issue.
I have installed the newest My Device app from T-Mobile.....You have to have opened it to get the newest software version.
Yesterday I did a reboot while walking Fido, saw something that I thought said update of Wifi and Networks complete. I click past it by muscle memory, before I could really read it.
The "my device" app does say it has new stuff, as a banner on its own startup.
____________________________________________
I am really not sure if what I glanced at, was a push of something significant to drivers or what not or just a meaningless update.
-----------------------
So can someone else go through the motions, and see if something was there from T-Mobile or not.....or if you work for T-Mobile...can you confirm what was automatically installed.
Thanks
Ok I updated the app and rebooted my phone, didn't get any message about a network or wifi update.
So I'm not sure what you saw.

Yes I am a newby. Yes I have searched and didn't really find what I was after.
I unlocked my phone a bit back and did the leaked IMM26. Since then Sprint has updated it again to 4.0.4. I now have an Asus Transformer Prime with ICS and would like to use WiFi or BT tether on my NS4G. Is there a way to do it without going the route of loading up a custom ROM?
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
Cheers
Wifi tether
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I have tried wifi teather. The tether function itself works beautifully in ICS. The Prime gets its IP address fine but there is no data connection. If I open the web browser on the Prime it states there is no connection. So either I am doing something wrong or its still locked out by Sprint in ICS. Help or clarification is appreciated either way.
I have also tried the "1-Click WiFi Tether No Root" app from the market and it does not work either. The problem statement is if I tether with the native ICS or with this app or others in the market then I lose data connection on the NS4G and obviously dont get it on the tethered device (Asus PRIME in this case).
After a considerable amount of reading I decided to just root the phone and install ClockworkMod and vhgomez36 ICS 4.0.4 ROM. Why? What I discovered is that even rooted there appears to not be an app or way to Tether when using a stock Sprint ROM. They disable it and check your account settings at launch to see if you have "Wifi Hotspot" enabled. If you do not then they disable data on the phone.
Works great now on vhgomez ROM with stock ICS tether app.
Case closed.
I have a Blaze on T-mobile's value plan with 2gb data. I am currently running stock 2.3.6 gingerbread and have an icon blinking that there is an OTA update to ICS waiting for me to install. I've postponed that for the moment until I find the answer to my tethering question.
I would rarely use it, but on trips I would like to be able to use my blaze as a hotspot for a tablet/laptop. Im a noob, and afraid to go down the rooting path. With staying stock 2.3.6, would I be able to just use the built in hotspot app to give access to a tablet/laptop? If not, would foxfi or another program work?
Also, if I were to go ahead and install the ICS update would that affect things? If I can use the built in hotspot app or foxfi only in 2.3.6 and ICS update would not allow these options then I'd prefer to stay where I am on 2.3.6. If I need to stay on gingerbread, how can I get this annoying icon telling me to update to go away?
Thanks so much for your help guys
i recently went ics with the over the air update and i was able to get my wifi tethering working with the built in hotspot w/o rooting. i still rooted in the end though.
ics has the ability to disable apps, so you can disable WifiProvision.apk (i stopped getting t-mobile messages related to hotspot)
i'm not sure if it matters, but i also use the app Widgetsoid. It feels like many apps in one. I use the widget to enable my wifi (which is wifi hotspot)

I havent upgraded yet, but I have a question about disabling things. I have a galaxy tab 2 with 4.04 ics and I wanted to turn off the software update feature to remain on that version in case a JB update came out. I could not figure out how to disable the app, so I wondered about how to disable things in general. What are the steps?
To disable apps on ICS: Settings > Applications > All > [Select app / .apk]. Then you just hit disable, or uninstall to uninstall updates, then the disable button appears.
This would be howto disable OTA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856632
I would still recommend going to the latest update on stock. I think it's better and generally is able to support everything in the previous.
I recently upgraded my Galaxy Tab2 from Android ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.2.
I previously used Müller's WiFi Tether for Root Users (my device is CF-Auto-Root'ed); it was great.
Now after the 4.1.2 upgrade WiFi Tether for Root Users doesn't work anymore - it just never appears on other computers' list of visible Wi-Fi networks.
So I'm trying the built-in Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot function. I tap to turn it on; it says it has turned on .. then just a few seconds later it says "Turning off" and indeed it turns off. Can't use it.
How can I diagnose and fix this?
thanks,
Are you on the stock ROM?

hi MultipleMonomials. Yes, the stock 4.1.2 ROM which came out last week, plus CF-Auto-Root.
Another piece of information. I also cannot start USB Tethering. I tap to start, it says it's starting, and it instantly turns off, briefly showing "USB Tethering Error" in the top status bar.
thanks,
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but since when did the stock ROM have wifi tethering?
Try the app foxfi from Play Store.

As far as I can tell, Android 4.1 comes with USB and Wi-Fi tethering by default.
Settings, in the Wireless and networks area, More settings, "Tethering and portable hotspot".
Of course, some carriers disable it, but my device is carrier-neutral, pure stock ROM. Unless there is a flag the carriers can send to the phone saying to specifically disable that function? .. in which case I dearly hope that there is a hack or app for rooted phones to ignore that flag!
(I did try FoxFi, and several others; on this version of Android, all they seem to do is enable the built-in portable hotspot, which behaves just the same as when I do it manually in the Settings - it turns right off again).
anyone?
Thanks!
Either install or open Titanium Backup. Search for "tethering" and "hotspot". Do you get anything?

Got it to work with WiFi Tether for Root Users, 3.3pre-2 TrevE mod experimental

Hi, Titanium Backup (love it!) does not find any apps/apks for "tethering" or "hotspot".
There's a comment here suggesting that it's built-in, not an .apk.
Aha. I installed the 3.3pre-2 "TrevE" mod experimental version, and with a lot of playing around, found the following combination which works:
Device Profile: generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup Method: Auto
Send Netd Max Client Cmd: On
WiFi-driver reload: On
WiFi-driver reload 2: On
(Not positive that the driver reloads are necessary, but without doubt the TrevE mod was required).
Maybe this experience will help explain what's going on, so that we can get easier solutions for others.
thanks,
