I do, but sometimes I need to walk away from my computer for a bit while something is downloading and I can't

I don't have the money, also wifi doesn't work on my laptop since hp thought it would be genius to make it impossible to turn on wifi unless the keyboard worked.

3 problems with CM7

Ok, I am probably posting in the wrong forum, and I apologize for that, but..
1: My wifi tether, tried both the .apk and the built in one, will not assign ips to connecting clients..
2: I cannot sign up fit the update server.. When I click register, it says failed
3: occasionally, the lock screen will hang up. After I slide my finger, it payee for about 4 second, then unlocks it..
thanks in advance

Update server doesnt work because it's not part of the official CM7 yet. If it worked, it would break your install.

sorry that is a sniffer that works on yr pc, thought you wanted to monitor, therefore an external box might be better. but if ubuntu can be installed on note, maybe there is ways.

Wifi manager..
Works like a charm fr me.

i don't think that's what i'm looking for, though :x
that app manages/shows the phone-AP connection but what i want is an app that shows (not necessary to manage) the connections linked up from others phones to mine via my phone's Hotspot.
And now it seems that the s3 has this integrated into its tethering hotspot menu...

Wifi tether? (solved)

I'm having trouble using Wifi tether. When ever I try to connect I get an error that says "WTF!! Your phone is automatically shutting off the connection" lol it was pretty funny first time I saw it. The wifi tether signal still shows up on the devices I connect to but they don't register it. Is there any work around or fix? I used the roms codename and beam for this btw.

which rom your using? lots of ics rom has wifi tether issues.
cm9 and aokp is okay,
I don't answer not becuz I dislike you.....but more becuz I don't tether,so I'm of no use for an answer on this subject.
As far as having alot of enemies...lol I think I've got ya beat there....
I used WiFi tether on CM9 with no problem at all. My usual Internet connection was down, and I used tethering as a backup. It took a bit more time to connect to the phone than to the router, but it connected in under a minute and worked just fine.

Lol I was taught that there are 3 types of people in this world....
1-that are suck ups.
2-those who like being sucked up to.
3-those like me that can't stand either one.
Im not supposed to wifi tether my device according to my new no cap contract so if that's important to you make sure you are aware of that when it comes time to renew or upgrade
I wouldn't say you guys are hated and or have alot of enemies.
Your merely misunderstood,and it doesn't help when there are the few with forked tongues that twist and manipulate what you say.
I see you two have some valid issues most of the time,but its hard to make your points when you are dealing with a mass amount of people that aren't educated enough to see them.

Going back to gb solved the prob for me oh how i missed this battery life. (btw bh the best guide to go back to gb from ics is fbs old kd1 guide using odin. Super easy and takes just a few mins. It has been the difinitive unbrick guide for me too. In my opinion one click has a high learning curve! You should point people to the link on your one click post as an alternative)

Gremlin remover is a great one-click back to rooted stock aswell
No learning curve .....just dl it and click it,nothing else needed

yea but before that you need to set up command prompts and downloading a jig file program with it and some other stuff. with odin there's no need to use command prompts, you just download the tar pit and csc files and flash away. Practically unbrickable even if you take the usb during an odin transfer. I'm not saying one click doesn't work but I think it throws people off

wut?
You are confusing installing heimdall fully instead of using a one click. Only thing you need for a one click is java and to install the drivers. Nothing hard at all.

lol I think you're right..let me rephrase then. I view Odin just another option to root, flash, and unbrick your device. Why not include it as an option, I don't think it's obsolete just yet.
i see we r making headway here.
How much stuff do ya really need on your comp other than a simple one click odin program that will do what's needed without having to go look up another and so on just to get rooted stock....I've had issues with installing Java...my comp doesn't seem to like it or I don't seem to know what I'm doing with it....either way gremlin remover is one simple easy dl and 1 simple click that takes less than about 3 minutes to do whats needed

Automate Tasks

Hey Everybody,
Basically I want my phone to connect to the WiFi when in certain locations (eg. Home, friends house), and disable WiFi when out and about. Same goes for when I'm not at home for mobile data. I want it to enable mobile data when I'm out and disable WiFi when I'm out. I've tried a few apps, like tasker, but it was too advanced for me. Also I've tried condi, but it didn't work too well. Any alternatives you guys have? Thanks in advance. <3

Trigger is a good app. You might have to pay for the full version to get location based stuff though but it was worth it for me. There is also Llama location profiles that I havent used in a long time but it worked good when I had it.
Tasker, Baby! It was too hard in the beginning for me too, but I stuck it out, and now, couldn't live without it.

I can second that it's hard in the beginning but after a while it gets better and there's so much you can do with it!

[Q] Anybody get a vpn working?

Like the title says can anybody get a vpn going at all? None of the apps work at all. I cant get anything to download or upload until I turn it off. I used to use Private internet access app all the time on nexus 5 with no issues.

I thought, for some reason, you needed root access for the PIA app. I could be completely wrong.
Another option, follow this guide.

I'll have to fiddle with that tonight when can get to the computer and look at their settings. I subscribe to the app and reinstalled it and it doesn't ask for root.

I've got two VPN's i'm using regularly. I use the native IPSEC VPN, and use OpenVPN via a static openvpn binary, busybox and the OpenVPN Settings app. Both are working very well. Running on s-offed/rooted stock.
