So, I am getting ready to root my wifes Nook Color, and I was wondering if it is OK to use the same gmail account that I use on my rooted Incredible or her D1?
If I do use my gmail account for example that has several purchased apps, would I be able to download those to her nook also (for free)?
Thanks in advance.
I have my G1/Dream and my NookColor tied to the same gmail account. All my paid-for apps are marked as "Purchased" and can be installed on both devices.
Using mine on my NC and EVO. No issues.

ditto.
happiness is flippin on 4g and wifi tether on the evo, and connecting NC to it and running slingplayer to watch the nfl playoffs while at work
works fine, using the same on my d2g and nook, only downside is hearing 2 notifications on new emails if you've got both in the same room.
Perfect. Just what I was hoping for.
Did I mention that I love this forum and its members? Thanks guys.
No issues here with my NC and my G1
No problems what-so-ever.
I used GMail on NC, Aria and laptop. All sync very well.
Of course my micro sd card is giving me fits, and wont allow the boot img to be written to it, so I have another one on the way. Will have to wait a couple days or so

O.k., let me apologize if this is a repeated post. I really did not want to do this, but I am desperate!
I know that the forum mods frown upon repeated posts.
But, I have searched everywhere on this forum and on Google!
I recently grew a set of grapefruits rooted my Cricket Sanyo Zio (running 2.2) and my ViewSonic G Tablet (also running 2.2 rooted with 4349)
I downloaded Wireless Tether to the Zio; didn't work!
I downloaded Barnacle to the Zio. Seems to give a WiFi signal. The PC's seem to detect it, but the G Tablet doesn't!
I then looked at a couple of youtube videos and downloaded all the necessary stuff (nvflash and gtab.Century.Eyes.rar) on the G Tab, risking turning this machine into a $300+ paper weight!
Still doesn't do it!
Then, I noticed there isn't an custom ad-hoc for Zio on Barnacle.
Could that be the problem or did I just didn't do something right on the G Tab part?
Help much appreciated.
I don't know about the G tab but barnacle has worked flawlessly for me with everything I've tried to use it with.

With wireless tether go into settings and change to wpa-supplicant instead of ad-hoc and set a 13 character wpa key. Also set an SSID name. Connect to Wi-Fi on whatever you want to tether.

Nope. Didn't work.
FORGET IT!
Once again, let me apologize!
I did not realize this was a forum for people that are already born with the knowledge of Android hacking and tricks and that speaks this constant techno babble!
I think I will cancel my account and go else where...Better yet, I'll just get rid of the G Tablet and stick with this big clunky Windows laptop!
It is obvious in this everyone-for-them-self society, you cannot help with one simple little task!
DON'T WORRY! I WILL NOT LET THE DOOR HIT ME ON THE ASS!
BTW: TELL YOUR SPONSORS TO QUIT SENDING ME SPAM E MAILS!
Well good bye! I offered a solution. My tether works perfectly with wpa.

AGREE. dOESNT WORK !
I got my new Bionic today. Everything went great except for one thing. After I finished the activation and setup I went to enable the phone on my WPA2 wireless network. To my shock it was already connected. I never was asked for my WPA password, how could it connect? And yes it was connected, I wasn't imagining things.

I assume that your coming from a different android device. Your router password is saved to your google account so when you logged into your new phone it restored the saved settings.

I might be mistaken but, I do believe that passwords saved in previous phones are backed up with your google account so when you switch phones there is no need to set all that back up. It transfers automagically when you sign in to google.

Yes, unless you share your gmail password with every tom **** and harry, and tom, **** or harry live close enough to you to mooch your wifi and they have an android device they signed into with your google account.

Anyone know if this is possible? I want to connect my phone to my laptop and use the internet, when I plug it in I see the option for "internet connection" but it doesn't do anything.
Thanks for the help
Search "tether" and you will find what you are looking for.
There's 2 options. You could use wifi tether. Wich u have to search Google for. Or u can use easy tether which is on the market

But if I use wifi tether. Won't I need to.be connected to a wifi network? I want to use my 3g/4g connection. If there is wifi connectivity, I could just connect my laptop to that, I wouldn't need my phone?
Thanks for the clarification

No you need wifi tether it creates a hot spot but requires root

Wifi Tether will be included in the next GingerVolt also. I am trying to find a way to get it to have certain settings automatically, but no luck so far.
With ur USB tether share switcher works really well for me. Just add the widget and click on the usb

Ouch!! I just slapped my forehead really hard.
Good answers gentlemen, as always.
In our themes and apps section, there is a thread "wifi tether, not mine" there is an app that works perfect for me. I have thought about dropping ATT for net, and just using Verizon for surfing at home. That would save me 50 dollars a month. Downfall: I have an awesome phone that can do that, my wife does not. So I would have to retire, and live at home and write best selling books so my phone could always be here to make a connection to the net for my wife. Boy.. that would be... terrible.

Yeah that app used to be in the market but was quickly pulled, so now Google just posts it there.

Your provider may require you to pay a fee. There are likely folks that can get around paying.
I did try "easy tether" when I found that the rooting process damaged my tethering setup. It did work well for an hour to two, until my provider found me and throttled me down to dial-up speed. "Their support guy enjoyed my story and admitted the same thing happened to him once too.

It will say this if you are rooted. Yes.
But it does NOT affect functionality.
Wallet will work just fine.
That rooted message is just a Google disclaimer.
I'm rooted and running CM10 and I used it today no problem.
It says its an unsupported device because you are rooted and they won't be held accountable if some app empties your wallet. It still works great though. Google paid for my lunch yet again!

Yes..
do you have a credit card with the little 'wifi' symbol on it (not sure what it's called).. this means your actual credit card has a NFC chip in it.
i have a Chase card, which has this.
every time i lay my Galaxy Nexus on top of my wallet, the NFC Reader app (market) i have installed, picks it up right away.
Works on mine. Took a long time to finish setting up.

Good thing to know. Just picked mine up from microcenter earlier today and was wondering the same thing. Haven't had much time to play with mine

Pasting my own post from another forum:
-----------------------
I have rooted and unlocked my Nexus 7, and yes, when setting google wallet after all that, I did get my $10 prepaid credit, and then I updated to the latest Google wallet version that allows you to register any type of credit card (visa, amex, etc). Which I did.
I went to the store just with the intention to pay with my tabblet, and it worked!!! And yes, I also got the "unsupported warning" for being rooted, but that does not stop the app from working perfectly. The selected card for that transaction was the credit card I registered, and I didn't have an internet connection for the transaction to be completed succesfully (very cool).
I haven't done a transaction with the prepaid $10 credit yet, but it should be no problem since I think it's even less complex than what I did above.

quick question do you have the wallet app open when you are checking out cause the when i tried it didn't work but it worked perfectly fine at MD and a vending machine so i dont know if its the store card reader or what
Well, can anyone explain why, on my Nexus 7 and HTC EVO LTE, both our which are rooted, Wallet used to at least open, but after this update I just get an error: sorry, wallet does not yet run on this device and on your mobile network"?
Two different devices, two different manufacturers, same error.

I use the hide my root app. I didn't know it would work with it being rooted though. I still like hiding my root until I need it.

Los Angeles. It ran before this update, so it's hard to imagine my location has anything to do with it.
I did find a few posts on other sites, like Android forums and AT&T's, for the same issue. Since nobody has complete info, we're all coming to different conclusions.
On AT&T's forum, they think it won't run because Wallet only has an agreement with Sprint. Obviously, my nexus 7 dispels that theory.
People on Verizon are speculating the same thing.
I've tried uninstalling both the update, and the entire app.
I've tried temporarily turning off root.
Still no workie.

I have never seen a post about this. I live in Mexico and needed a USA IP address to purchase Nook books. Oh joy! After trying many apps, some of which did not sort and some of which LOCKED UP, I found that Droid VPN works like a charm.
