[Q] Native tethering - LG G Flex 2

I've tried the method for the LG G3 here, which involves modifying the APN settings to include "dun" (as part of the profile). Since we don't have an explicit "save" or overflow menu on this hidden activity, I tried a few things to get the setting to persist. What I found worked was triggering the OnPause or some lifecycle state by going to another activity and bringing that foreground (common app behavior to save data). That seemed to have worked, BUT, when going into the settings to check if tethering is now available, the only thing there is the "Network" section still.
Yes, I'm rooted.
It's like there's some sort of framework restriction that isn't having that fragment added to that settings screen. It looks like just adding the "dun" to the APN profile (which makes sense) should trip that fragment, but maybe there's another roadblock that Sprint put in the way to keep that setting out of the hands of would-be tether-ers. All of the activities are there (searching the shortcut master for "tether" shows all the activities, but trying to launch the settings fragment fails, obv.). Any thoughts on this? Is there a separate provisioning app that needs to run or something?
I am new to LG devices, but well versed in system/app dev. I've been running CM11 on my S3 for over a year, so haven't had to worry about trying to figure out a tethering solution!

I tried the Native Hotspot Unlocker and initially it worked. But now, a couple of days later, it won't turn on anymore.
Now, after I got it rooted and got rid of most of the bloat, the native hotspot is the only thing I really need.

i think you mean this; if not, ive wasted your time
I get a "feature may incure bill whatever warning"
On wireless networks section click on the "more" options.
And its there.

treo 750 and the "built-in" ms voip client

hello all,
1. I have been unsuccessfully trying to install the ms voip client that's been deliberately cut out of all roms for 750's
I followed all the possible instruction sets similar to, say, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401608&highlight=voip
Everything seems to install ok and you can even configure the thing to go through 3g, but it just doesn't want to actually start working.
Problem number one - no internet tab in phone settings
Problem number two - the today plugin is always in the "off" state.
My thoughts on this:
These problems might be coming out of the fact that 750's don't have wi-fi which seems to be the default behaviour for the voip client.
Also, according to here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923501.aspx
hklm\comm\rtc\ doesn't look like it has enough settings
2. On top of it all i'd like to bring g.729 codec support to the attention.
All i've been able to dig up is that you have to put the .acm file in the right place -> add some registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\CODEC_G729]
"Prefix"="ACM"
"Dll"="g729.acm"
"Order"=dword:0
"Flags"=dword:2
-> and then configure the use somewhere in \\hklm\comm\rtc\
Has anyone successfully installed and used it?
Let's bring all these things together so it all starts making sense.
Thank you for your time.
I have the same problem.
No matter what I install, the "internet" option never becomes available in the phone settings.
I believe this may have to do with "PLMOCPL.cpl" being used as the phone settings CPL instead of "cplmain.cpl" on the Palm.
I have changed a setting under "HKLM>System>State>VoIP>Phone". I changed "Network Preferences" from 0 to 1, which i think is what the control panel does anyway.
Now instead of "Internet Calling: Off", I get "Pennytel: No Service".
Anyonw else come up with anything? Any way to edit the cpl to include the internet settings?

LbsTestMode - locked?

I used anycut to create a shortcut to the LbsTestMode, and I can get in, but any changes I make don't stay after I leave the screen. Is this because of the JH7 update? It's like it's locked down.
I can't even get to LbsTestMode anymore :\ Any way to fix that ?
JH7 locked it out from the phone dialer.
Get on Android Market and search for LbsTestMode. You'll find the FREE app by TomatoX.
Not my question, I have the lbs option, it launches fine, so I don't need the dialer, just does not save changes I make, like standalone to ms based, etc...

You haven't mucked about with your settings.db file recently, have you? I.e. to enable non-market app installs? Make sure it's owned by system:system and has permissions of 660 (rw-rw----).
I was having the same problem with my Application settings not being remembered (even when I just backed out one screen and went back in), and this was the problem.
The update indeed has disabled access to Lbstestmode from the dialer. What is AT&T doing???? Locking in a lousy GPS without the ability of the onwer to go in and try and fix it????? What in the world are they thinking????? I can see AT&T corporate now... OK guys, What can we do to cripple our flagship phone some more????? I want to see our subscribers all head off to other carriers so we can just fold up shop and go on vacation!

[A] MMS isues on a Samsung Device

When I upgraded my Samsung Focus to Mango B1 (7661), I was pleasently surprised when I wasn't having any of the 3G (lack of APN) or MMS sending issues. I unlocked it with the unlock xml and the whole GPRS template loading from Diagnosis. I had no issues whatsoever. I considered myself lucky, and I shrugged it off.
Well, Mango B2 (7712) comes along, and then I noticed: No more 3G, no more MMS. At all. So I figured, okay, a lot of people had this problem, so it should be fairly easy to solve, MMS is a big deal to not have, SOMEONE'S fixed it, RIGHT???
And I was partially wrong. People fixed the 3G issues by readding the APN from their appropriate provider (I just googled my AT&T APN). However, I looked everywhere for the MMS fix. I found NOTHING.
Then I came accross one post saying that it was a shame that WP7 doesn't set the 'ADC' flag when you switch the SIM card. Well, holy crap, I knew I had seen that before. While I was recalling what app I had used, I coupled that bit of knowledge with something else. I knew that people had fixed this problem using the proprietary Network Profile Samsung app by temporarily switching carrier profiles and then switching back. So I thought to myself, what does the Network Profile app change? It changes, apart from other things, the APN (for 3G), and the MMS settings. So I figured, if the MMS settings are tied to ADC, and then the Network Profile app changes that, why not use an app I've used before to reset it?
So I looked through all my homebrew apps (Advanced Config., TouchXperience, & WP7 Root Tools), and, alas, none of them booted. BUT! I had forgotten all about the trusty Samsung Tools. I haven't used it in ages, but I though that that option was there. So I opened it, and behold, it didn't crash and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD it had the option to "Set 'Run ADC' Flag". The description almost made me cry from the overwhelming joy. The description says "Sets ADC to run at next boot to configure Data and MMS settings. I checked it, I rebooted, and I could send MMS.
If anyone with a Samsung Device in Mango is having MMS or Data issues, use Samsung Tools, and don't suffer as long as I did.
Actually, it can be done by changing HKLM\System\AutoDataConfig\RunADC from 0 to 1.
This is a question?

Dyskmaster, I'm amazed at your reading skills (though not your spelling). The section is called Q&A. Question & answer. Did it ever occur to you that someone might want to just post an answer?
As I am new to the wp7 scene, glad to find this post as this fix the problem for me . Thanks for the post!
This did not work for me on my samsung focus running through straight talk. Any ideas would be appreciated as I still cannot send MMS. Thanks!

Hotspot removed on vz8

So Sprint has removed the ability to easily enable the native hotspot in vz8. I was also unable to get any tethering to work at all using play store applications. I looked in build.prop, system.db, and system variables with no luck. I did find a few new system variables for hotspot that start with mhs_, assuming for "my hotspot". I will play with these and see if I can get anything working, but dun checking doesnt function anymore, as a spot to put "dun" doesnt even appear in the hidden menu. Also, the hidden menu settings now take a pin code to edit. Oh the fun...
Has anyone had luck fixing this, or downgrading back to vz7?
just kidding..... I was on the wrong hidden menu. thought it looked different.... all is well!

Force WhatsApp backup upload on roaming?

Hey everyone
I'm currently abroad on a business trip and now I see my daily WhatsApp backup consistently fails to upload. Despite my media auto-download 'When roaming' settings being set to 'All media' and having chat backup 'using cellular' settings enabled, it refuses to perform the upload on roaming. Since quite a few years there are no mobile data boundaries in Europe so this limitation makes no sense. It's showing the following error:
You're currently roaming. Wait until you're no longer roaming or connect your phone to Wi-Fi to back up to Google Drive.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With no other option but to tap 'OK'. The notification just states 'Backup in progress, Preparing backup...' with no swipe-down options. I only have unsecure networks at my disposal so I'm not using those. WhatsApp seems to be unique in not allowing the user to force this. Is there any way I could force it nonetheless? Perhaps by making the app believe I'm on Wi-Fi. I found this FakeWiFiConnection project but that requires Xposed. I have root but don't want LSPosed or any such framework.
Any chance?
Not all at once! lol.
Can someone just state it can't be done so I can mark it as the solution?

Without LSposed spoofing the WIFI status is neigh impossible, but I think you're missing the forest for the trees. If you don't trust Nearby WIFI access points, choosing to trust only your cellular network, then create your own WIFI access point. Become the change you want to see.
Take the sim card out of your phone and use it in another, creating a Hotspot and solving your problem.
I guess.
