Hi there,
I'm hotspoting my laptop with CM10.1 and Soulseek needs a specific port to be open, my Android wont let it through. Same thing with Bittorrent.
All ports are closed by default apparently in the hotspot or tethering configuration, had a look around and cannot find any option for this.
Thanks.
Is is that much of a scary question?

Hello all!
Before I ask my questions, I would like to say thank you to everyone on the forum. While I haven't posted anything before now, I have been a heavy user of XDA and have learned more than I had ever anticipated. To list all those I have followed or have provided me with some great information would take weeks so please accept my general thanks to everyone!
Now, I have searched high and low on this forum for a solution to my situation and have failed miserablly. If anyone can provide me a solution, link or point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!
I am currently using 2 devices and about to add a 3rd. My main phone is a Samsung Captivate which has been rooted. I'm running CM7 w/ the GLITCH Kernal and too many mods to list. My second device is the Samsung Infuse which is completely stock. My next device is the HTC Vivid which I have no clue what will be done to it.....
What I would like to do is use my phone as a media hub. I would like to be able to walk in to my house, plug my phone in to my TV via HDMI and then pick up a tablet or my computer and be able to control the media on my device over my secure wifi connection.
I know I could plug my laptop into my TV and control my the media on my laptop via my phone but that has it's limitations as well.
So the scenario:
I walk in and connect my device to my TV. Grab my laptop/tablet and start my music or a movie and be able to respond to text messages.
I know I'm asking a lot but any assistance would be great!
Hi Guys,
Cant be the first to think of this or ask but cant find any info on XDA or google other than the two links at the bottom.
I know we are some time off a stable ICS build for the SGS2 but once we are there wouldn't it be awesome if when you plugged into a monitor/tv via HDMI cable instead of just mirroring the phone UI it instead switched to the ICS Tablet UI and enabled all the apps for fragment views and big screen viewing etc? Operation through bluetooth mouse/keyboard perhaps? Then you could use your phone as a PC rather like the Atrix Webtop (but with same OS).
I found this article but seems it doesn't work properly on the phone as the status bar disappears and this is not through HDMI/MHL LINK
Some info about modding dpi but not in context of getting Tablet mode LINK
Some poor soul asking something similar on CM forums with no replies LINK
Just an idea anyway....

Great idea
Nice thought, bridgstfer.
Might it be easier to start with linking to TV through WiFi (need WiFi-enabled TV or Blu-ray) - the Android hot-spot data interface function already works pretty good.
Would be really awesome if properly implemented, but it will need a dev team putting a lot of work into it...
That's a really good question, waiting for a good answer.
I have a WT19i LWW and I'm running the CyMod, I'm just wondering if there's any kind of short-cut/widget/option to enable and disable data traffic instantly?
I usually have my data traffic disabled, but when I do enable it to use the web I have to go to Wireless & Networks->Mobile Networks->Click Data Enabled
and then I have to go to Accounts & Sync->Background Data if I'm running some app that needs to connect, so it's pretty annoying to have to do this all the time.
Is there some short-cut?
I wonder if THIS works on CM... don't think so, though.
Or you could try installing something like THIS, but again, I don't know where to find a CM compatible mod. Should search the forum.
Hmm, that second link is something like what I'm looking for, but I'm not entirely happy to install that without knowing if it's compatible.
I don't think it is, but maybe in development section you'll find something similar. i've never used CM, that's why I don't really know if it actually exixts.
That is OK, I'm considering upgrading to the ICS ROM anyhow, that way I can get some of the newer mod features which has it and many more.
Hello and welcome to my 1st post!
I have been doing a lot of scouring this site's forums and guides trying to find my answers, but to no avail, but apologies if this is in the wrong place or has already been asked/answered.
I have recently purchased a cheap android tv box which has someone's custom rom etc loaded on it, running Android gingerbread 2.3.7.
I would like to use it for streaming video from websites and using some uk tv service apps, for example 4OD - so nothing to strenuous.
I have been trying to root the device in order to get some apps to work, and to generally learn more about Android, however the firmware seems to be really locked down already to prevent this, there is no option to turn on usb debugging as there is no developer tab under applications for example!
All the 1-click, no PC type rooting apps i have tried have failed as well.
Can anyone offer any advice how I can do this, or reload a more open rom onto the box, or anything really!
There was no manufacturer or anything on the outer case, but I have attached 2 screenshots with all the info I can find out about what kind of device it is and what it is running.
I realise this has become a bit of a long ramble, but I really would appreciate any help going, either by reply or PM.
Thank you very very much.
Hi all. I hope you're having a lovely Easter. I wonder if any of you geniuses can help.
I want to watch Sky Go at a friend's house this weekend (Sky Sports F1). I have three very different devices, none of which will work and I wondered if anyone had any ideas:
1. Nexus 5.
While this runs Sky Go just fine, whenever I use my slimport-to-hdmi adapter to connect to a TV, it stops working. Does anyone know a way round this? It's not rooted so cannot use the Virtual HDMI switch workaround. Is there a workaround without rooting?
2. Android HDMI dongle - (Official device name is "pov tv-hdmi-200bt")
I bought this in Maplins a while ago and is great. I installed "Sky Go Tablet" on it, but when I go to use it, it *****es at me about the device being rooted, so it won't work. I've not rooted it! So I've no idea what it's on about. I've tried two different Hide my Root type apps, and neither work - probably because it's not really rooted, and Sky Go just thinks it is?
3. My Lenovo T410 laptop, running Windows 8.1
Sky Go doesn't appear to work on Windows 8.1 on Lenovo laptops yet, and no-one on any forum appears to know why this is. I've used Chrome, IE and Firefox, and numerous versions of Silverlight, and still get the error 't:6036/ c:4110' when I attempt to stream. No proxies or firewalls in place etc etc.
Does anyone have any advice?
I realise this isn't an Android device, but it's still about Sky Go.
If anyone has any bright ideas as to how to fix any of the three problems above, I'd love to hear from you.
Apologies if any of these have been resolved in other threads - I've done numerous searches and couldn't find anything.
Thanks everyone, and happy Easter Friday.
Jonny.
Hiya, did you ever find a work-around with getting the SKY GO to working using HDMI?
