Samsung Focus Tethering and data - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've got a Samsung focus on Bell (unlocked)
I have updated and unlocked the phone to 8107 and it seems I have the tethering function working but when I connect another computer to it, it says limited connectivity and doesn't get any data whereas I can surf the web on the phone itself...sometimes I will get a few mb of data but not much
Anything I can check to see if I enabled it right in the firmware?
Thanks.

Would love some help...
It seems the tethering will work for a few minutes and then stop...I have to stop sharing and then enable it again and the cycle goes on...
Anything I can check?
I unlocked with the windowbreak project...
Thanks.

Just a thought from my view, as i dont really know your situation with using windows break. But maybe you should use this xap that installs the interop-unlock and internet sharing and use the install process to see if it may help configure things for you. Here is the link for the xap and info:http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=23311443
Then go to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963 and do some reading, and grab the 3g repair xap as you will need it after installing the other xap to repair your 3g data.
Hope this may help you out, and good luck!

Thanks mate!
I will try this...

[Q] XDApp Lite

Who here has the XDApp lite working?
I have it cooked into my ROM and it will never work, ever. It tries to connect, gives it three attempts and quits. I'm envious to all Android OS owners who have it up and running on their devices.
Does anyone have it working on their windows mobile phones and if so have a .cab file? Or even a fix? Any help or advice is appreciated

Two things:
1.) Yes I am using the default skin. Do you know where to find other ones?
2.) When I find said skins how can I change it? Because I don't know where to find my data for that app, because as I said, it's cooked into the ROM.

no not on your phone im talking about on your computer scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen & on the left hand side should be a drop down menu click on it and it should say Quick Style Chooser with 2 skins to chose from 1 being the default skin & the other being the beta skin make sure you are using the default skin then on your phone try to login again to see if it works this worked for me
Nothing, I tried twice. I don't know what could possibly be the problem. I'm going to try to change the layout on my cellphone to see if that might fix it.
How exactly are you connecting to your Xdapp lite? Wifi or 3g?

im using wifi
Okay so that would make sense as to why that works for you. I'm going to try changing it on my phone, and if still nothing do you think disconnecting my data and using wifi would work?

I Tested It On Data Connection & It Still Worked Fine For Me
So I Did Some Digging Around To Try & Find The Info I Was Telling You About & Guess What I Found It And I Was Telling You The Wrong Procedure I'm So Sorry About That I Was Right About Changing The Skin But Was Wrong About Where To Change It At
Check The Post Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7183733&postcount=367
Here Are The Steps I Did And It Worked For Me The First Time I Tried It
Remember All This Is To Be Done On Your Computer Not Your Phone
1.Click On User CP
2.Click On Edit Options
3.Scroll All The Way Down To The Bottom Of The Page & You Will See Forum Skin Choose Xda-Dev Custom Template As The Skin Then Save Your Changes
4.Logout Then Log Back In
5.Now On Your Phone Try To Log In To XDApp Lite All Should Be Good Now If Not Then IDK Because This Worked For Me
Suhweet! I finally got it working! DD You guys at the Core Cell team should direct people that use your ROM to either this thread or give them some sort of directions in the Fixes part of your thread. Just a recommendation of course Thanks alot for the help I do appreciate it!

Maybe someone else can pick up on this project and make it more user friendly haha I have no programming skills seeing as I'm 17 and the only C++ I know was a 10 year old curriculum I took in high school last year So I can't...but it'd be nice to see someone else take this up and make it better than it already is

how to tweak wifi state check

First off, I am a complete noob, please, reply accordingly.
Say, I have an application, which requires wifi to be connected in order to work. If I start it without wifi it just wouldn't work. I tried to change permissions and remove "check wifi status" permission but this only crashes the application.
Now the question, is possible to decompile the apk and remove wifi state check?
Thanks
I am also looking for the solution to this problem so I can stream live tv using the TWC TV app over mobile data.

If I've helped you, be sure to use the thanks button!
Yep, my problem is very similar.
Were you able to find a solution, or to find out that no solution is possible. I can't believe that guys in this thread, who know everything can't just tell us "it's impossible" or 'it's possible, just do so and so".

Tethering help :(

Hey guys,
Here's what, my phone manages to establish a connection with my computer just fine, as it is able to with other devices. But apparently, it does NOT share my 3g while it's at it. I guess it's a common problem?

Oh and bluetooth tethering does not work either(similarly)

I'm not calling you a noob or any other name like that. Just search the development thread for "enable built in WiFi hot spot" and there it is. I literally found it in seconds, and you can too.

The only way that I know of to tether without root is to pay your carrier a fee (most probably a monthly fee) to enable it for you.
There are apps in the playstore that are supposed to work, but I haven't tried any so I can't say how well they work.

NUMA is my main ROM and I haven't had any problems tethering with it. It should be enabled by default, though. Are you using the native tethering app?

WiFi or USB? I've only used WiFi, but not in a while so I'll double check it when I get home in a couple of hours. As far as USB tethering goes, I may be wrong but I think you'd have to have something installed on your computer that supports it. A friend of mine uses PDAnet on both his phone and PC to USB tether his desktop but I don't know if something like that is required.

Your post is a little jumbled, but it seems like you're asking if your PC can receive a wifi signal even if it doesn't have built-in wifi. The answer is simply no. You can go to the store and snag a little wifi dongle or something like that and install the software to make it pick up a signal, but as is... it's not gonna pick up anything. Hope that helps.

Foxfi With Sprint

Can anyone confirm their foxfi tethering is still working with Sprint? Mine was working and recently started failing. I'm trying to determine if it's Sprint or my phone that broke it. Thx
Nevermind, it's working again. The setup I made on my phone was reset somehow.

As long as your rooted, you should be able to manipulate tethering.

I have Sprint unlimited data. All I do is use Sql editor to edit the Apn settings. Only because on Sprint it's greyed out. But i have no issues. Nothing beats the native hotspot.
