TF3D Weather tab & Activesync

Is it normal that Weather tab in TF3d doesn't update using activesync when connected to the computer?
it only connects when clicking the tab, it never downloads the weather data by itself using activesync or gprs if the tab is not active.
it has happenned to me using ROMeOS 1.40 & the "unprotected ROM"
of course i have set it to download automatically the weather data but it doesn't run. The setting about roaming is disabled.
it is me or it is a common bad behaviour of TF3D weather tab. it is really anoying!
I've looked for it in XDA without results so if you know something about it please tell me something. If for you it runs good also tell it to me.
thanks

Nobody know anything about it?
so i can deduce that only me is suffering this bad behaviour that means that I've made some kind of mess with it, right?

and it is not the weather server problem neither of course!
(i feel alone here nobody confirms this bad behaviour or at least says that in their TP this feature is running fine)

As far as I have seen, this is how the weather app works (connect on navigating to the tab). Do you really need it constantly updating?

That's what i've experienced as well.
Closing this thread as the question has been answered. It's just how the program works.

Wireless Tether

Hey guys, I have not seen a post about this yet so I figured I'd ask. I just rooted and was able to remove ATT bloatware using titanium backup. I would also like to add a wireless tethering app so that I can use my phone as a wireless modem. I have this app installed on my sprint htc hero (also rooted). I searched the market (where I found it on my hero) but I assume ATT blocks this somehow. Has anyone tried to wirelessly tether yet? If so, were you successful?

I was just browsing over on the vibrant forums and they have no luck yet. They were able to get the apps to install fine, but the ssid would not broadcast. They are still seeking a solution... Hopefully us ATT users want this as bad as I do

want more like need.
the whole reason I got this phone was because of the community that seems to be making things happen faster than any of the iphone 4 development! I'm excited to see what they can do with the wireless tethering.

It seems to be somthing AT&T is doing. Wireless Tether will not work on the Aria right now either.

Hmmm interesting. I hope there are more developers for the captivate vs the aria.

Im sure we'll see some of the AT&T Nexus one Devs migrate on over. I mean who doesn't want a 4inch super AMOLED and Hummingbird CPU to play with. Not to mention the GPU performance pretty much double's any other Android on the market as of now.
I put my unlimited data iPad sim in my Nexus One to tether with so I'll be ok for now anyway.

I just sideloaded android wifi tether on my Captivate, and it does not work. It appears to work, but my Mac doesn't see to network. I tried the 2.0.5 beta as well as 2.0.2. Hope someone finds a fix soon, or I might have to go back to my iPhone 4 and add to supported tethering. Ouch!

I'm pretty sure it's something in the kernel...a custom rom might help...maybe if it uses a kernel from another S device that has the same hardware.

Its not wifi tethering but I've got pdanet working over the usb cord and bluetooth. Not quite as good but if you need something to use while you wait for someone to figure the wifi out it should do the trick.

Doesn't the Captivate have built in tethering though? And couldn't you just use that?...

USB Tethering working on Mac via PdaNet.
I have installed PdaNet on my Captivate to use to tether my Mac (10.6.4). I had to ADB the PdaNet.apk, because it wouldn't install being a non market app. I installed the server application on the Mac. Works like a charm. Latency is kinda high though ~500ms.
Used command "install" instead of "push" to make it install, as it failed when using "push".
"$ /Volumes/HDD/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/adb install /Volumes/HDD/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/PdaNet.apk" HIT ENTER
Of course my SDK is located in my Downloads folder, so all i did was Drag, and Drop the folders into Terminal. I put the .apk into the same folder before I used the "install" command.
I hope this helps someone.

Not working on my Captivate. Must need a custom Kernel or something. I even tried the 2.0.5 pre5.

Apparently at&t forgot to block the built in USB tethering option of the phone.
If you have all the drivers installed from here you can tether via USB.
1) go to settings >applications > development > make sure nothing is selected there.
2) go to settings > applications > USB Settings > select PC internet.
Connect the phone.
You might need to go into your device manager on the laptop to make sure you are not required to install additional drivers.
If you do > install the missing drivers and you are online.
If you dont > you should be online
Typing this from my USB tethered laptop now.
Also i noticed that Barnacle Wifi Tether is working but is not stable.
It will create a connection for a short time and then crash.

Not working here either.

We need kernel sourcess to enable NEtFilter on the kernel, by enabling this module, wifi thethering should work.

Yes you need custom kernel, which has been standard on most if not all custom roms for awhile now.

[Q] Can't download/update apps using data connection on play store.

whenever I try to download or update an app from the play store when my wifi is off and only data is on I'm getting a "xxx could not be downloaded due to an error.(404)"
I tried deleting data of everything market/play store related and nothing helped.
When the wifi is on everything works great.
Edit: if im going to the market site and choose to install the selected app on my devices it will also fail if the wifi is off
Also if it matters I'm using the market fix from LCD modder pro

u answered ur own question. Market has a known flaw when interacting with LCD modder and any dpi changer.

As far as I know the flaw is not being able to see/update certain apps, but after using the fix everything works.
And as I said over wifi I have no issues at all only while using data so I doubt that's the case.

Bumping this because I tried restoring to the original market and I still cant download/update using mobile data.
Would be great if anyone can help me with this.

while in market> settings> deselect wifi only.

It's not selected. I think I tried most of the obvious things but thanks for trying.

have the same problem
Did u fined a solution?

Solution
The solution is: go to System Settings > press "More..." in Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names (APNs) >press the menu button, inside the menu press "Reset to default“ > now another option will appear called "Internet 3G" (modem) , besides the "Portal 3G". Choose the new option "Internet 3G" and you are done! =] here's a screenshot:
http : / / i47. tinypic .com /2njbv2u. png (delete spaces)

Solution - works
It worked for me although I didn't change to Internet 3G - just reset to default.
Thx. I already tryed a few fixes that didn't work.

Change proxy settings
I removed proxy settings from my APN attributes and then it worked fine.

Thanks a million! This worked for me and has been bugging me the last couple of weeks. Google support had me clear cache, do a data reset of all the Play store related apps/service, along with flip air plane mode on and off. They eventually sent me to Samsung support and they pretty much went over similar steps outside of trying it in Safe Mode. They even had me do a reset with the phone which didn't fix it either. I knew something funky was going on as my wife's Pixel was also doing it. Now I have both phones fixed!

[Q] Custop ip setup

i just got my shiny one s today and tried to get wifi from my router, strange but theres no option or setting to do so, as it was on lets say desire hd, would you explain me how to to do that and whats going on, i installed wifi manager and it says something about changes google made its inaccessible now, thanks

Oh yea , that's strange. I just tested an app I used to use on my galaxy s2 called WiFi static and it works. Just open the app and go to add configuration and then generate and is all done for you. This app is handy because it will switch ip settings automatically when you log onto another wireless network.

You don't mean Settings > Wifi > Menu > (drop down options) Scan or Add Network or Advanced?

[Q] Can you change the host name of our phone?

Was randomly looking at connections to my home router and noticed that my phone shows up as 'android-70d76ab'. Is there a way to change the name of our phone, much like changing the name of a PC or laptop?
Thanks

Yes you can. In some ROMs, you can simply change it under settings. If you're using a WiFi Hotspot, in that app itself, I think you're able to change it.

Sorry, I should've been clearer on what I was on. Any way to change it on a rooted stock TouchWiz Jelly Bean rom? Perhaps someone knows of a mod.

Can't you just rename it through you wireless network on your home PC. For example I have a net gear router and it has a genie application on my home PC where I can see what is connected to my Wi-Fi and I can rename things like ps3, my gs3, wife's thunderbolt, ect.....

It's been a while since I've been on stock TW, but I think the setting is the same as it is in CM10.
Go into System settings, development, and and make sure that development is enabled. In that section should be a setting called host name. You should be able to change it there.
