[Q] Question AT&T 2.2 -> Dell Unlocked 2.2

Hey all,
Just had a question and wasn't sure if anyone was actively pursuing this yet.
Has anyone found a way to re-enable the wifi hotspot support within the AT&T 2.2 build that was just released this last week? With one of my past Streaks I was on Dell Unlocked 2.2 build and had some hardware charging issues after putting in all that work to take a ATT 1.6 to Dell (U) 2.2. I'd really like to avoid going backwards from my new att 2.2 to just go forwards to the dell 2.2 that had some stability issues.
I am aware that everyone has different opinions on which one is better so please focus any answers around how would it be possible to restore a native froyo feature to this ATT lockware OS.
Thanks All,

it can't be done. At&t does not want you to use your phone as a wifi hotspot so they removed that feature in the phone. Only way to get it back would be to downgrade back to the stock rom you had before.
If you don't have unlimited data plan go for 340, it's fast and stable, if you have unlimited data plan 318 + performance fix is my first choice although I never had any issues with any of DJ Steve's ROMs they are all kind to my Streak and my Streak loves them back, but having read all the others are posting, would really give you second thoughts. Maybe it is just a matter of following instructions, if you didn't get it right it will be a disaster indeed. I just don't get it,English is just a second language to me but I am able to always get it right, guess that is my advantage, having English as secondlanguage.

Dont install the performance fix. Its a battery eater

I don't have battery issues with 318 plus the performance fix. From 24-36 hours with no problems.

[Q] Reverting back to Uk ics

Im not a techie on phones or tablets so please bear with me on this,
I upgraded my UK tablet s by changing the region and using the US ics upgrade, But for some reason (which I havent delved into yet ) Cant seem to root it.
However now the UK ics with 3G is available I would like to flash that.
Do I need to change the region back to UK or can I flash over the US version, what happens if I change the region against the instructions.
Is it even possable?
As I remember I used Odin to flash.
I would like as much detail as you feel Im entital to, Im begining to not be able to see the wood for the trees.
Hi. Ics on the tablet s can not be rooted for the moment, so you are stuck on US ics for now.

Thanks for that.....
......Definative reply, im_iceman, Its not the US rom, I'de quite happily use that ad-infornitum, its the lack of 3g, i did'nt realize when i flashed it that the rom would not take advantage of my 3g sim card, I thought it was just the built in 3g that wasnt catered for, still there you go, my punishment for not researching properly anyway TY.
Yes, the US ICS ROM's are purely WiFi and do not feature support for any of the Tablet's external Internet functions. Without root, you won't be able to change region and therefore can't return to UK region until ICS is rooted.
Also, unfortunately, Odin is a Samsung-only tool and there is no equivalent for the Sony, especially since there have been no leaks (which is what gave us Odin), and the bootloader and system image are highly locked down. I'm not sure there is even a partition dump for the Tablet S...
Ah, must have used Odin for my Note, its no biggy really, i can wait meanwhile everything I did with the Tablet s I'm doing with the Note its got all the facilities just a tad smaller screen.
But thanks for that.
You'll just have to set up a WiFi hotspot on your note and hook up to that when you're out of WiFi range.

It could be your network provider, IMO. I often not receiving or delayed SMS receiving, and it is because of my network provider, the Custom ROMS are rarely the cause, unlocking bootloader maybe, if you unlock the BL and your phone is simlock, you will get no signal. My best suggestion is try full wipe, reinstall Custom ROM, or reflash Custom kernel if you have any. Or better yet, got to stock kernel and stock rom, if the problem doesnt persist, then it is most likely related to custom rom and kernel that you are using, do some test on your own my friend.

ICS to Gingerbread

Yeah , it's crazy but i have to re-patch my mom's galaxy s2 to Gingerbread... My mom is ignorant(She doesn't know much about smartphones) and she's claiming that she doesnt have a good signal.. Soo she wants it back to Gingerbread(it didnt work well in gingerbread too, so idk what's going on).
So my question is.. , is it safe to flash to Gingerbread version if the phone has already ics?
PD: I think the signal problem comes from the sim-card , i think is bugged or something like that(I'm from argentina and i have Personal) ;I have flashed my sister phone too and she doesn't have any problem. Oh , and the phone is not from a specific carrier, so i can flash the official ROM
Yeah go to sammobile and see if theres like 2.3.6 for your model/region.
Go into about phone and post the info thats there.
Dont start pissing about with it until you post the phones details.

[Q] CM 10 and no data connection

Hi guys... I'm trying to solve a problem with my Vibrant, CM10 works except it doesn't give me data connection. But first I have to tell you a bit of a backstory
So, a couple of months ago I was a Vibrant CM9 user, never been able to solve the data problem with CM10 so I stick w/ 9. Then I decided to sell my phone and I put up an annuncment saying the phone has this and that and that and it comes with ICS.
Then CM9 for Vibrant disappeared from CM site (never understood why) and I couldn't sell my device with a ROM that was not supported anymore. I found a buyer and told him that actually I wasn't able to give him the phone w/ ICS and he was fine with it, so I sold the phone.
Now he just called me and said that the CM7 was draining is battery in 4h (never happened to me) and so he had someone installing another ICS custom ROM (he doesn't know which one) but it is buggy and bla bla bla and he asked for my help.
I don't want to ignore him, I was the one who kinda dropped the ball in the first place not giving him what I promised, and the easiest, quickest and better way to help him would be to having him install CM10 and solve the data connection thing. Another easy way would be to get a CM9 zip, but there must have been a reason for them to remove it... right?
Why all the story? To tell you that now I have to fix a problem on a device that I don't have with me
Now I explained everything to him and instructed him to install CM10, and I'm waiting to hear back from him.
I live in Italy and I have a minor carrier, he has one of the big ones... I was hoping that that alone could solve the problem, but most likely it doesn't matter at all.
Any suggestions?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Flashing any Jelly Bean ROM on one of the Vibrants I have with no SIM card installed will yield no cell data when the card is put back in.
Flash the same ROM with the SIM card in and cell data comes up perfect.
If you're flashing with the SIM card out it might be worth trying with it back in...
The other Vibrant I have doesn't care at all if the card is in or out.
Thank you for your help, I don't believe this applies to the Vibrant that I had, but I'll remember it and I'll try to put the sim in and out or something. The guy didn't reply to me yet... we'll see.
In the mean time any other thoughts are welcome
CM7 should NOT be used. Ideally you should run CM10 or CM10.1 to make sure you have the best E911 experience.
Has he tried flashing CM10 maybe it'll work with his SIM card or however he does it.

Did you mean CM9? Because of the EU Bug? Or what is wrong with CM7?
Anyway E911 is not important because in Europe the universal emergency number is that uses the E911 system is 112, but here in Italy we are retarded and we didn't implemented it yet. Seems like it's a work-in-progress thing, but it's complicated because in Italy 112 has always been another emergency number (carabinieri answer to it)... and also because we are retarded.

CM7 and probably part of CM9 had intermittent issues so latest CM10 is best.

I used for a while the CM9 on sensation xe and had no issues with data connection. After moving to the CM10 (CM version= 10-20130119-EXPERIMENTAL-pyramid) I'm now having that problem. The WIFI works great but no data connection on the mobile network. I tried rebooting, wiping cach/dalvik cach, reset network to default settings...nothing worked for me.
any help!
