Even there haseen't been much activity in this forum I will try my luck and hope someone will still read here and can maybe help me. I got a 2nd hand folio100 because I wanted a tablet that I can run without battery. Now I'm running the cm10 mod alpha5 but I have the following Issues:
1.) I have an usb to ethernet adapter that I use on the tablet to connect to my router so I can use a lan connection instead of wifi. I got the adapter working with xda.usbhost.2.6.2.apk. When browsing the internet with a browser or the google playstore everything works fine, but when evr I want to download something it doesn't work. With skype it's also strange, I could download my contact list and I can receive messages, but when I want to make a call skype complains that it has no wifi connection and therefore calls don't work. I use the same adapter on a Nexus7 2012 with SlimKat and there everything works fine, there I don't even need xda.usbhost.2.6.2.apk.
2.) No matter what browser I use the browser does crash quite often.

Hi all,
I got problem with internet connection on my HD2 (ROM 1.48). There are 2 ways I connect to the internet - WIFI and GPRS. GPRS connection works fine - I can download and read e-mails, make backups with MyPhone, update weather information, etc. But when I connect to the internet with WIFI, there are only 2 things I can do. I can browse web pages with Opera and update Twitter messages. But I can´t download e-mails, make backups, update weather information, etc. When I try to update or backup something, there is connection error (through that connection between phone and router is fine and web pages are running).
It seems to me like most of applications want to connect to internet via GPRS only. Is there any way to set up (or check) the phone to connect to the internet via WIFI when it is turned on?
Thanks for any advice
Sorry cant help but agree - it would be fantastic if there was some way of knowing / controlling when it used GPRS data and when it uses wifi. When wifi availabe obviously would rather use that than be charge a small firtune for data.
Any one out there about to help with this??
Internet browsing
Ditto. I can - after HUGE effort - connect WiFi but I cannot browse the internet using either Opera or IE. 2 year old Nokia connected and browsed literally within 2 secs! Also, the phone keeps connecting via GPRS all the time even with data connections off. Can anyone help? Thanks PS I know it's unproductive & forgive me, but I have to get this off my chest: this is the worst cellphone I've ever owned. Bluetooth doesn't work, internet doesn't work, handsfree car kit doesn't work. Does anything work?

correction, YOUR Bluetooth doesn't work, YOUR internet doesn't work, YOUR handsfree car kit doesn't work.
Get it exchanged. (if they genuinely dont work)
@others, go to settings menu all settings connection connections advanced select networks.
there are two dropdowns, in teh top one should be the name of your mobile data, , this is what automatic progs will use to connect to the web, in teh bottom one it should be 'the internet' (or sometimes 'my work network'), meaning they use wifi if available, and data if not.
(At least thats how they should work....)
If you set the top one the same as teh bottom one, nothing should try to use mobile unless wifi is not connected.
Could be a proxy problem? some operators set up a proxy, which can screw with connections.
samsamuel: Thank you for your advice. I´ve tried it - in both dropdowns I got "my work network", but no success.
I´ve found something interessting. When I turn on YouTube client (using WIFI), I can´t play videos. That should be ok when I got problem with internet connection. But YouTube client shows on the welcome screen preview of today´s added videos. So the question is why should application download preview of video, but it can´t play the video? I´m a little bit confused
Thanks for the suggestion, but I had tried that already and it did not work. I don't think it is just my cellphone. There are many comments re the HD2 that make it clear that it does not work with a Parrot handsfree carkit, Motorola S9 headset etc, and the 2 earlier posts reveal problems using WiFi too. It seems to be problematic on many fronts. I cannot even connect it using Windows Mobile via an USB port! And while I appreciate all suggestions it seems to me that this model is a (very expensive) lemon and frustrates huge numbers of owners. I find it odd that a 2 year old Nokia N95 can connect and browse instantly and a 'smart phone' doesn't work at all. I find it to be very gimmicky. I don't need twitter, facebook etc. I need voice dial, good PC software (like Ovi and PC suite) and bluetooth that works etc. The HD2 has none of this, but great graphics of a windscreen wiper, exactly the sort of pointless gimmick that reveals that the designers were interested in making a toy and not a useful phone.
I suggest you try and install "HTC_Wi-Fi_onDemand_by_Krocher". This program will always use wifi when available and stop the GPRS from connecting and will also keep your wifi on a stand-by. Please do read through the thread as you have to make sure that no programs using wifi are activated when you want it to be off. For me it solved several problems with wifi.
Second thought is to upgrade to one of the much more stable and already tweaked OS's. There are quite a lot out and you'll find everything about that on this forum as well.
Last thought, if it does not work it must be something to do with either the settings or the OS version as for others it works absolutely fine. These are complicated phones that, much like computers, must be set and tweaked to the correct settings in order to get the best out of them. If you just want a "buy and run" phone this is not the one.
Success,
Itamar
I realise this is a bit of a double post, but I can't change the title of the last one and this seems more appropriate...
I'm having problems with my Android TV box. It has ethernet built in and that works just fine, except certain programs such as iPlayer which have been designed to only work on wifi (as BBC don't want 3G use of iPlayer).
Basically it's specifically looking for wifi rather than just a broadband (non-cellular) connection so it just point blank doesn't work. The device is not rootable. Is there anything that can be done to make apps see ethernet as equivalent to wifi?
Several other apps have this problem too and explicitly state you may only use wifi for this data connection, so it's definitely the root of the issue.
Cheers
Ask the manufacturer how to "spoof" the Ethernet into Wi-Fi
Hi all.
I have a 3G (HSDPA) mobile phone, not Android nor a smart phone, which has Bluetooth DUN profile: I can already tether my laptop to it via Bluetooth.
I'm planning to buy a WiFi only tablet running Android and would like to tether it to my mobile phone the same way as the laptop.
I've searched through the forums here at XDA with (apparent) no luck.
Is there any application/ROM for Android tablets that supports such a use?
I've tried a few Android phones (both stock and modded), but they don't seem to support Bluetooth tethering.
Is there any hint, reference, link or advice?
I am not scared to eventually do that in command line on the tablet, though.
Please don't suggest WiFi tethering (as the phone has no WiFi) or USB tethering as both the tablet and the phone just work as devices, not host.
Thanks in advance.
No way?
Depends on the tablet you purchase. I have an Archos 101G9 Turbo tablet and an old Nokia E71 phone. I cannot tether the tablet to the phone through the bluetooth settings menu as it just does NOT show any profiles for the phone. I can however tether the tablet to my phone via command line commands. But this requires the tablet to be rooted in order to use such commands.

Well, rooting is almost mandatory to have any non-trivial feature on these devices.
I was just wondering whether my "special need" was somehow supported in some tablet with stock or aftermarket ROM.
I do understand that a fairly complete bluetooth stack should be already in place in Android.
What I need to understand is how far my feature is from a simple use.
Well I just happened to install BlueVPN from the market a day or two ago and it works like a charm. No need to open a terminal emulator and do what I've done before.
Using either way to connect to my phone still results in some native apps not recognizing the connection. The web browsers work (stock, opera mobile/mini, firefox, chrome). But native apps like the gmail app, speed test app, and probably a few others just won't recognize the data connection. I wonder if some other properties need to be set for them to recognize it.
Not a huge deal for me since the web browsers work.

These are great news for me.
While email and calendar can be accessed with the browser, SSH (ConnectBot) needs a connection. Could you please check whether this works?
I fear there's some firewalling or NAT in place, this is why it's not working... maybe.
I tried ConnectBot out for at least the telnet portion and that was able to connect but could not send anything from the onscreen keyboard. It just would not recognize anything I typed. I do not have anything to SSH into so could not test that connectivity out.
It connects at least from what I can see. But dislikes the touchscreen keyboard on my tablet apparently.
Im using stang5litre Edition 5.0 v3 on OF1 I cant rememeber if im on the newest version or not, i feel like i might be on V2. My issue ive been having not only on this rom but the last one i use too(hyperdrive) is with random pages not working when using USB tether AND Wifi Hotspot. Some sites just return a DNS issue. Its really weird. For instance right now i can watch live streams on my DirecTv app on my phone, but my nvidia shield thats on the same network cant, ive also tried this with the wifi hotspot and had the same issue, but it comes and goes. Ill also have google issues alot. Like my phone providing the internet can use google just fine but if i hop on the laptop its hit or miss if i can use google, google.com just returns a dns issues 90% of the time. I dont know if anyone has an idea but im open to suggestions. Right now i have my phone plugged into my Asus RT-AC5300 routers usb port and have to set to android phone for primary wan, works awesome for 99% of tihngs, i just keep having random DNS issues. Im on verizon and have unlimited data
Hi, I'm using MIUI V11.0.2.0.OEGMIXM on my Redmi 5 Plus (not rooted) and faced with some USB tethering problems. When I tether my 4G connection to PC it works, but when I'm trying to download some files, games etc. internet connection to PC randomly drops. It can download 100mb and drop, and it can download 1gb without drops (magic?). Also, connection drops even when I'm using Discord and watching videos on youtube, but it's a very rare thing. I can't play matchmaking in csgo because it's says "Failed to Reach Any Official Servers" and in dota2 "Unable to ping any region. Check your internet connection". Also, I have Strict NAT type in any game like GTA V, Warzone etc. I have installed qualcomm usb driver because I thought it might help, but it didn't affect anything. The only solution I found, it's use VPN. I'm not like networking guru, but I think it's works because VPN route all traffic through his gate. I connected another phone (Samsung Galaxy A30) and start tethering connection through usb and it's works fine, no drops, no problems with csgo and dota2, so it's not a problem with my PC. Furthermore, I think it's like a feature of redmi 5 plus or maybe firmware, also I can't choose option RNDIS(USB Ethernet) in USB configuration, only MTP and PTP. I couldn't find threads about that problem at all, so I have no idea how to fix that.
