Hi Admins!
I love this site so much and use it very very often that I thought about various ways to store it offline like for fast PDA us on the go.
- sometimes there is no internet because you are really abroad (whatever, only expensive sat connections possible or 3k/1k internet in the whole town)
- your company's internet broke and the service provider is not available by phone. Your bt phone's dataplan was activated but still not working and you gotta download this presentation for your boss - solve it.
- nice holidays on a boat, direction Hawaii. Your wife was playing around with your storage card collection - ohhh cool, 4 gb micro sd (with a great ROM absolutely not designed for that device and - worst - with autostart enabled). Godd*** there was this great info how to possibly fix that @ xda-developers
In short there are (still) very well knowen moments where we can't reach the next router and therefore our great DB called Internet. A good way would be some kind of newsreader. Only the channels I'm interested, less server use (articel download only once) so cheaper!!!, etc....

There is some work to do, it's not supported and so, but is it worth a try or are there other intecions?
If yes and any work I could do - just inform me!
THANX!
Well i am really interested in moving into a WP7 phone. (I like the HD7.) Unfortunately for me I can't seem to find any info on tethering or internet sharing of any sort.
that is a deal breaker for me... the most important feature of my phone to me is the ability to use the internet connection on my laptop. ( I prefer the wifi router ability... seems faster to me)
I am just interested to find out if there is or may be any hope of this type of app for WP7. If this is not possible for any reason, i would also like to know so I can decide not to go that direction on my next phone.
thanks
Keith
On my samsung focus the codes to enable tethering are posted everywhere.. by default its not enabled on devices, but it is something you can do on several phones. US carriers generally frown on tethering
Hi Guys,
I have a cousin who is trying to control multiple GoPro cameras using his sprint GS3. Currently he changes WiFi networks to control each, but he'd like to be able to connect to all at once and simplify the process.
I'm not sure if it's do-able with WiFi Direct somehow, if the device could do it if it were rooted, etc, etc. I have a Note 2, but no GoPro's so I can't really help him out (and we aren't close in proximity to try either).
Hoping someone can chime in, or let me know where might be a better place to ask.
TIA!
Hey guys -
Thought I'd throw this out there, to see what others thought (or knew)..
When I wi-fy tether on my phone (using CM10.1 built-in. i.e. No special apps), my laptop tries to contact two hosts via GRE first, then over port 111 (sunrpc, apparently..). One of the hosts is 66.152.109.100. The other end in .100, but I don't have it handy at the moment.
Wondering why - when I was on Verizon, this never happened. Wondering if this is some detection sceme or something running by TMobile. So far, I've blocked the attempts each time, but was curious.
Cheers -
Mike.
a quick ip look up suggest that its the data handler for tmobile lte. Tech Valley Communications handles fiber optic high speed net, cloud based pbx, etc. just a hunch though
Android 5.1.1. will bring us wifi!

Thank god.
I was wondering how long it would be before that part of the hardware was activated!
Now it needs to be smart enough to only turn on wifi when bluetooth isnt connected....
Good news :good:
This article puts SW3 img on it which makes me feel more exciting cannot wait for the next ver

I'd prefer NFC to be enabled so I can use my watch to scan tags and pay for stuff.
How would WiFi work?
To get data from your smartphone you need to do what? WiFi is usually turned off on the Smartphone.
Do they plan on letting your watch hit WiFi access points, solo (no smartphone)?
If they do I wonder if there will be a keyboard to enter passwords to access secure WiFi? (I do know you can sideload a keyboard)
Also the battery life on this device is the best I seen but it is not great.
Got to effect the battery.

Good question. My original thought would be that it would connect to your home wifi or whatever you want to connect to. Or it could be your phone I guess as well. Either way, wifi offers greater range than bluetooth and I can't wait for this release. Maybe wifi will only turn on when bluetooth disconnects as it thinks you're out of range. But also have a option to have it on all the time. We will see.
WiFi Direct
My assumption is that, since the device supports Bluetooth V3, it will use WiFi direct for faster transfers between phone and watch. With the lack of a keyboard on the device (which I would describe as a lack, actually) nothing else makes sense. And in that case MP3 files or other stuff can be transferred much more quickly. Also, installation of APK´s and such can be done via WiFi direct.
But we will wait and see. According to the article, many more devices actually have a dormant WiFi module, as WiFi is built-in to the SnapDragon 400. The question is whether or not the manufacturer included an appropriate antenna complex in the device.
Maybe it can stay tethered when on the same Wi-Fi as your phone. That would be killer...I don't carry my phone around the house.

Exactly why I want WiFi. I take my watch off in my house now because it disconnect too often. Give me WiFi an I'll be set.

I'm really hoping that it google stalks the xda forums because I'm really hoping that the WiFi function works as follows.
You leave your phone at home. Your watch goes out with you.
It finds a recognised WiFi hotspot outside and it automatically connected to it and to the internet.
It seeks out your phone at home and syncs with it getting all your stuff pushed to you watch. Now that's a true smart watch.

Indeed. I will have NFC tags all over the place once this gets activated. Nightstand, the inside of my car door, laptop, desk, girlfriend.
They really should make NFC a priority to beat Apple to it, though, before their watch comes out.

The way I would do it is to simply have the saved WiFi networks list from you phone be synced up with the watch via bluetooth. And to save battery, only have the watch look for one of these WiFi networks IF it loses the bluetooth connection with your phone. Not sure if that's how it would work, but that would make sense to me. That way, it's seemless, requires little or no user input, and notifications just work, regardless of whether phone is in range or not.
aaaand here it comes:

Hopefully the roll out is pretty quick! Can't wait to have the wifi feature.
They say over the coming weeks.. i wouldn't hold my breath for anything quick...
(Though, i am sure it will be here before the long forgotten replacement bands for the watch... )
