[Q] SGS II USB Reverse Tethering - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone
I hope you answer me asap .
I've searched in the internet for usb back tethering & i found it & worked for me great , but now the problem is , when i installed the KJ2 rom the method wont to run , is there any way you guys know it to run the back tethering again ?
old way :
1. sharing internet from your network driver with samsung .
2.putting these ip addresses in the samsung network conn. :
10.1.1.1 as main ip
255.255.255.0 as Default GW
3.opening better terminal emulator from your device & adding the following commands :
su
ifconfig usb0 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 10.1.1.1 dev usb0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
now this way was working great for me but after the KJ2 ROM installation it didnt work atall.
i am waiting for an answer from you guys
& thank you

i am starting to bump since no reply till now

woops bump

hard to know that such a huge forums doesn't gave 1 guy knows waht am i talking about !!!

The answer seems pretty obvious to me, revert to your previous ROM.

thank you for your obvious answer but i am sure that there are another more useful obvious answers in the forum .
& btw people upgrade their properties not downgrading them .
again , thank you for your obvious reply

@DADER,
I agree with the other guy... Return to your previous ROM if yu NEED this feature atleast until someone can give you a better answer.

@DADER,
What the heck is "usb back tethering"? When I do a google search for that exact term in quotes (which guarantees that only that exact phrase is found), the ONLY result I get is this very thread.
Are you trying to do tethering via usb to have your computer use the phone's 3g connection? Or trying to tether the phone to use your computer's network connection?

back tethering means u run internet in your phone from your pc internet , not the wifi- router or wifi card. & if u red my post you will understand what am i talking about !!!

I did read your post. It is barely comprehensible, which is why I had to ask what the heck you are talking about. And as I said, the term "USB back tethering" in a google search doesn't turn up any pages but this one.

well , a month ago there was a blog which i found in it this method , google is a moody search engine
what the **** , i've been posting this thread for a week & no reply from a mod or developer - i just want if there's a solution or not- ( btw with all of my respect to the members whom participated in this thread ).
i hope someone gives a look to the thread & gives me a decisive answer ....

What you're talking about is called USB Reverse Tethering. That should clear a lot of things up.
Secondly, if you're not getting a reply, don't just continually bump the thread.
..and finally, take people's advice: if you really need this, then go back to the old setup. If not, stop complaining.
Your best bet would be to contact the original developer, not start a new thread.
screamworks.

.. Or why not take this as an opportunity to learn more about linux? The method you posted sounds like it should work if only you tweaked the commands to work with your new ROM. Start by getting familiar with ifconfig and linux network stack.

I wasn't being aggressive, it's called common sense. Don't start acting as if you're entitled to help from people, when they do it in their spare time out of their own free will - the least you can do is not waste their time by doing some basic searching beforehand.

UK custom 2.1 ROMs?

Hi, are there any UK based custom 2.1 ROMs?
flashed Villain3.4 but it seems the market is the US one so all the location specific apps are US and doesnt work properly
anyone point me in the right direction?
@nortynort
Sorry for writing this, but did you inform yourself before you wrote this new, unnecessary thread?
sorry it might've been daft, but the only way to get informed is to ask right?
MarketEnabler
Install market enabler and set your location to UK.
http://uploaded.to/file/en3pg4
nope mate ... the right way would be to make some research.
but I will give you the answer, have a look at page 1 from the Villain thread. Villain 3.4 basis is from an Eris dump, means the sources are from a US thought software leak.
There is no UK based ROM even no Mongolian based ROM, why? Because no official 2.1 release exists.
thanks niclas90

Not at exactly a manual is it? More of a reference point and discussion on the ROM itself.

it is not only unnecessary, it is also in the wrong subforum.
Wiki; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM
"RTFM is an initialism for the direction "Read The ****ing Manual". This instruction is sometimes given in response to a question when the person being asked believes that the question could be easily answered by reading the relevant "manual" or instructions. It is also used to tell people to try to help themselves before seeking assistance from others."
So according to wikip phanes used the term correctly. And who wants to start a discussion concerning the validity of wikipedia? Not me. I believe in the peoples opinion.
Edit; Oh how i love metadiscussions..
As far as the original question goes. What is not working, market is fine for me using VillainRom 3.4?
Things submitted by U.S developers will show in $ anything in UK will show in £ and some will be Euro's you can still purchase them all the same.
Have you checked to see if you can change the "LOCATION" and "LOCALE & TEXT" options in SETTINGS?
I'm honestly trying to help, but no matter how I try wording the above, it always sounds a little condescending.

I'm not too knowledgable in this, but whatever app I download seems to be set to be US centric?
For example Yelp, which worked fine in the stock tmob uk ROM, now can't find my location at all. I set the currency thing in the settings to UK and it still can't find my location.
Other apps like pocketauctions for ebay are set to US by default but that one is managable as setting it to UK works fine.
Shopsavvy barcode scan feature no longer works, it doesn't recognise any barcodes anymore, I dont know if thats a US/UK thing as well. Typing products in by name brings up US prices. There's no setting to set it to UK.

Going to Settings ---> Location only gives the options "Use wireless networks" (Checked), and "Use GPS satellites" (unchecked)
Can't find a direct reference to Locale and text, but in the keyboard settings there's a LOCALE setting and clicking on it you can only choose a language

yes tried MarketEnabler. installed it, didn't see my original network (Tmobile UK). Tried tapping on other networks just as O2 germany, but nothing happens, no error message no nothing. Nothing changed in market.

How to set proxy setting for wifi?

hello every one
first thank you for viewing this thread
can any one tell me how to set proxy settings WORKING with HTC HD2
i already tried below methods but non working at alln and i am only able to browse the Local Network (Interanet) but no access to the internet.
1. set Network card to connect to work and edit My work connection Proxy settings.
2. using ProxyOn.cab file and editing the registry key of proxy setting
i've tried all of these with and without Hard reset Soft Reset
i am able to brows the internet when i connect my phone to a PC through Sync and set the Proxy and IP Manually
i am sure that DHCP is working fine with my phone becuase i can go through local network
as i asked HTC support they told me :
You can only set up proxy server for wifi via 3rd party application Unfortunately we are unable to help with your query as we don not support third party applications. Please refer to the software vendor for further assistance. As far as we know this application may not be compatible. We hope that you will find further assistance with the software developer. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC. Kind Regards Harika K. HTC
Please i really need your Help
I FOUND THE SOLUTION
HEEYY EVERY BODY
set proxy for opera:
type in URL opera:config
!!!!!!!!!!!!
then go and set what ever you want
as easy as this!!
it dose not work on my phone
hi ,
i use opera mini 5,
i try opera:config , but it does not give to change proxy.
thanks
What about using an ordinary opera browser? not possible?
you are right there is no proxy in config tab in mini or any where else
if you have visited this thread you may have using an HTC and any htc device may be able to use opera mobile.
Thanks a mil
THANK YOU! The experts in my university's computing and network services said nothing could be done! The registry tweak didn't work! No instant reply from HTC, and yet the solution is as simple as opera:config!
but as you may know ONLY opera web browser is connected to internet.
and the apps like NimBuzz, weather and etc are still unable to connect.
so its better than having nothing
can i ask u where are you from?!
Beirut. And you're right, the settings only apply locally to opera, but its better than nothing. Let's hope they fix it in the near future...
Hi if you want to use proxy for your WiFi one important thing is to setup the connection to connect to Work, not to Internet.
Go to Start->Settings Connections tab, tap Wi-Fi, tap Wireless Networks. Select the network you'd like to connect to (or add new one) and on the first screen you'll see a dropdown named Connects to. Here you have to set it to Work, NOT TO Internet. Apply the settings (if you're adding a new connection, insert all the other data too).
Next go to Start->Settings Connectins tab and tap Connections. Go to tab Advanced and tap Select Networks button. From the first dropdown select My Work Network (if it isn't there create it and name it so). Edit this setting (tap button Edit). Open the tab Proxy Settings. Check both checkboxes and tap on Advanced button. Here you'll have to specify your proxy addresses and ports. For me to get it to work I had to specify HTTP and Socks.
Set this up and apply all settings you have done so far.
Go to Start->Settings Connections tab and tap connections. Go to tab Advanced and tap Select networks button. Now select My Work Network also in the second drop down and apply the changes.
I hope it'll work for you. The whole thing depends on the type of proxy you have and what kind of authentication it uses.
I've tested it on HTC Touch HD (Windows Mobile 6.1) and on Ipaq 114 (Windows Mobile 6.0).
*edit*
I've also successfully tested it on HTC Touch HD2 (Windows Mobile 6.5) and Sony Ericsson Xperia (Windos Mobile 6.1).

That's the most hillarious part You should go for a stand up comedian man!!! 44 posts, huh!! Wow!!! In less than a year! You are true hero ->
Let me just ask you something: you fly here in May 2010, crying (see the icon of the thread) for help about proxy on your phone and TWO WEEKS later you figured it out by yourself using a simple solution opera:config! You must be a genious man. How did you find a complex solution like that in just two weeks?? Seriously I expect an answer!! You should apply for the next american idol as the most talented phone user ever.
Let me ask you another question though. On 9th October 2010 you posted this hillarious line:
but as you may know ONLY opera web browser is connected to internet.

Did you know opera:config applies only to opera right away or did it took you additional (appoximately) 4 MONTHS to figure it out?

You posted the fifth post here in july, 3 months later there's a post honouring you, of course who would yell at anybody honouring him, even if it's an outdated post. And then, look at this, here I come, 3 months after your last post and you're saying the words above.... Do you see any analogy? A pattern?
You really made my day!! Thumbs up!!
*edit*: I've decided to give you my thanks for that. Can't stop laughing .... seriously.
Hey navidnouri, since you've been so great so far, I'm most certain your reply will be as hillarious as the previous one, so count on another thanks by me!
I've no words, it's one year that i was searching for a solution in order to set my university proxy!!

I give you right. Maybe I should try. But you know what... following a thread is a question of motivation, as you may allready know. There has to be something attaching to it, if you know what I'm saying.... And now, now, here you come, hillarious, funny, intelligent, who wouldn't want more?
Since you're so generous on advice, here's a thought: A man of your character has most certainly heard of a german comedian Stefan Raab. The thing is, he wrote songs out of quality quotes. So I thought you write a little something out of your last two posts here and publish it on YouTube. Put a little music to it, etc. You know how it goes, right? I'm telling you, you are the material of success. And with such great gadget you own, you could do it directly with your phone and then afterwards even post a tutorial about it here on xda!
Last but not least, there's a slight dissapointment navidnouri... navidnouri, navidnouri, navidnouri..... I put so much hope in you and you didn't answer my questions. Common, be a MAN, show guts, do it. Don't let xda down, it wouldn't be fair.... You don't have to write much, just direct answers, few words, the spelling doesn't matter, grammatic even less, so there shouldn't be anything in your way.... And you know what, I'll give you my thanks (again!), you won't even have to say a curse word or an technical advice. Think about how great this will look on your resume!! Everyone will be able to see how many thanks you've collected and how! And if you'll play along, this thread has a potential to be one of the most viewed on the forum, think about it! You'll be a star! So, enugh of the pep talk, answer the questions navidnouri, for the community's sake!

[Q] Flash and Wireless Questions

Hello xda-developer community,
I have multiple questions, so please forgive me, that i put them all in this Thread
Okay my first Questions would be:
Is there browser-flash intigrated?
Can i play Flash Videos from various sites with it, for example myvideo/break etc without a app?
Second Question is:
Can i use this mobile device without a Contract which has Wireless Plan?
Note: I'm using the Internet when I really need to, so i don't have a contract which covers Data, this means I cant let the Internet run 24/7.
Third Question is:
Does the Alarm Clock work, is there even one?
I'm truly sorry for my nuubishness, on every page i visited people said different thing, just need this to clear out everything i need to know.
Yours Truly

There is but its not perfect. Its called Uzard and you'll be able to find by searching xda, I think its in the themes and apps section.
If you want to view a lot of flash content then Id reccomend running an android build from your sd card. Its a lot better for flash.

You can, however.......... You will need to install a program to automatically disconnect the data connection after use. I would recommend "WM Long life" or "Touch Tools". You can find them over in themes and apps....
You might want to disable things like automatic weather updating and HTC Peep or at least set them to only update every now and then......

For me, no it doesnt. Not reliably anyway......
For 97.5% of people the alarm function works fine. There are other apps out there like "klaxon" or G-Alarm" if you need them.
Hope thats helped...........

Importing basic phone Settings to different custom ROM?

Hello,
long time no post here^^
I just got myself an S3 and coming from an i8000 with Window Mobile I had a LOT to read and "study" these past few days^^ (I almost didn't touch a smartphone in 2 years too... long story)
After flashing a couple of ROMs and reinstalling my apps with Titanium Backup, I got a bit bored of having to revise all the Settings manually.
Is there a way to somehow save the many Settings and restore them on a new ROM? On WinMo it was easy to make a .reg file with all my favorite settings to apply on a new ROM but here I have no clue (as I also read it's not possible/good to backup system data from a ROM to a new one)
Any suggestion to at least make the process a bit easier? to at least preserve settings such as my preferred vibration strength, ringtone, screen timeout, font size, etc
Thanks! (and sorry in case I missed something obvious... I exposed myself to really a lot of new stuff in just 2 days and I am bit overwhelmed with searching new apps, ROMs and themes, learning about the OS and rooting, discovering the phone features and accessories/cases, etc)
Not possible at all?
There are multiple posts asking this question .
Use search as i have vowed not to reply to such questions if their is an R in the month .

Would you care to provide me some keywords for my search? I tried something like "import settings to new rom" and the like but nothing relevant come up... just some references to Titanium Backup (as I wrote before in my post) or unanswered questions similar to mine or just about importing apps/contatcs/logs/etc
Thanks anyway
Anyone? the post above gave me some hope but I really can't find anything I wonder what I am doing wrong... usually I am not so dumb @[email protected]
One last try before giving up^^

Not a matter of taking up space but a matter of following the rules you agreed to when you joined the site.
