Here's a question for you, my revo running the zv9 update and BO1.1 will not pass traffic to facebook on 3g or wifi, but here's the kicker... if i go out in the boonies and hit a 1x tower, facebook works fine........ what would cause that? I'm lost...
that is different. But for some reason fb or anything that uses fb (ie friendcaster, seesmic, fast) for some reason has issues on anything other than 4G. at least for me, anyways.

I have the same problem on my ZV8 BO 1.1 (and also now on 2.0). I don't know if it is just a Broken out problem as my wife has been having issues with her stock revo.
The problem runs over to the stock Rom too

Yes, if it is rooted. If you are on 100% stock LG Revo, it works. The moment you root, it stops. Must be something with the Esteem Exploit?
update, facebook worked for me for about 2 days...out of the blue(no changes at all) it started working, then just as quickly as it started, it died again... seems like it is just my revo too, all of my friends who have droid phones work fine, same with the apple counter parts...

ok im having some troubles with wifi tethering. i have tried barnacle and i cant even get my laptops to detect the network im broadcasting with my phone. when i use wireless tether for root i can get a connection but its not a good connection at all. i cant even get google to load. im using damage control 2.09.01 on a sprint hero... thanks in advance for any help... also i need this working hopefully before Saturday as i go on vacation and my hero was going to be the internet for my laptop
Probably belongs in the Q&A section, no?
Yes, should go in q&a, but, barnacle is a no go for heros, and make sure you use wireless tether 1.6 (do not get from market, get from google code website)

What ROM are you using. I think it only locks on the .29 kernel, more so for the DC based ROMs.

I'm having problems with my wifi-tethering can anyone help me? I went ahead and installed wifi tether 2.0.2 on top of the stock 1.6 that came and since this thing has gone crap. I have found 1.06 but even after installing it, it won't work. Any suggestions? Rom I have is PureHero 2.1 Maps/Overclocked.

Using purehero 2.1 I always get unable to start tether with every version of wifi tether except 1.6. However with 1.6 it overheats the phone, even when underclocking, and when I try to shut it off it freezes the phone and reboots. If I try to end tether in autokiller the icon goes away but the phone is still tethering. Ended up tethering all night one night and my son was on watching anime on his ipod touch. When I got up in the morning and grabbed my phone I thought it was on fire.
So which ROMs does 2.0.2 or 2.0.5 work on? I really need to fix the overheating issue as I live in Arizona and at this time of the year it is difficult to keep things from over heating on their own lol.
Thanks

Any Rom that isn't OC'd for sure. and I think any Rom that isn't the DC .29 kernel. Havent been able to actually confirm that though just my theory.
Edit: actually my statement was for 1.6. 2. 0. 2 is still in experimental stage for the hero

The option to uninstall wasn't there for pure hero 2.0.9 or whatever I have. Anyway, I just deleted the APK, then installed 2.0.2 and it still didn't work. However I was then able to properly uninstall 2.0.2 so when I installed 2.0.5 it worked. Works good now, only thing I have noticed is that I changed the SSID but it doesn't actually change.
Thanx for the help but I just went back to rom that's not oc

I am pretty much a noob but I have seen several complaints about this. I have the stock Android 2.2 rom rooted. I dont know technically why this worked but I uninstalled Flash 10.3 update and uninstalled Netflix update. Redownloaded Netflix from Market and then applied Flash 10.3 update and appears to be working smoothly. I read one place that netflix doesnt even use flash but I cant explain why reverting fixed it

Never had this issue and this is a highly used app for my phone with 3 kids. Poor service / back grounded apps maybe ? Or maybe decrapified rom ftw?!
im gonna have to try this mines been choppy since day one
Does the Netflix app sense your connection speed? Considering your connection speed is constantly changing, it just overall wouldn't be a good app. I personally don't use it, cuz I don't like to watch on such a small screen. I get it with 3 kids, but my 2 kids know they will not be touching my $600 dollar phone.
Nevermind.. Ran smooth for one day then back to choppy. Even on wifi..
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
I understand that as far as kids touching them. I haven't every had a problem with my kids but given my back ground and the fact I run a small store and fix iPhone /android handsets its not a problem. I still don't gather why people are having issues with the Netflix app maybe its service.
I am having issues with NetFlix after the update
Just installed Revolt Rom 1.0 from the dev page.. so far Netflix is running smooth and the Rom is great. I will update if that changes..

Too bad they couldn't have wrapped these fixes into a 2.3 rollout. These bug fixes seem pretty trivial...
Is this the update that is going to "block" tethering like the update to the TBolt?
Not sure. I wont be surprised if they had something hidden within the update that would disable it. Dont take my word for it tho, this is only my opinion lol

Well, I do like the fact that my keyboard won't pop up in messenging. Other than that, its no good to me. I can get app updates, don't care about the call stuff, and yah, they probably have some more bloat ware. NO THANK YOU.

I've got it working on my Win 7 ride. Its slow as snot, but it works. Also works on my IPAD, NOOK and a couple of other devices. It took me forever, but I did get it to work. I can't wait for TheCubed's version, I'm sure it will be much easier to use.

My update failed, keeps going into recovery and can't figure out where it downloads or how to avoid it. Any one else get this?
@ Lightning - Clockwork recovery gave me the same thing...It blocked it from installing.
Rebooted and came up like normal afte saying the install failed... I'm new to all this so I'm sure this is old news for the veterans here - but Clockwork recovery blocks OTA updates. I don't mind when it comes to minor updates such as this - But I'm wondering if I'm going to have to wait for an updated rooted Revo 2.3 ROM in order for me to experience the GINGERLUV??
@ drt054 - WIFI tethering works just fine on my revo. Downloaded the 3.1 beta2 google apk (right here in these forums)
Installed clean - fired up the app and noticed that I would get intermittent connection... Then I turned on Access-control and once I granted permissions to the connection everything went like butter. 4G speeds off the laptop no problem!

Update Fails, stock unrooted!
When I attempted to update 2 or 3 times I got the following error: "Device runs out of memory."
Is this update file saving to internal phone memory that you need root access to save to??? The file is 69.5MB and all of the 3 storage locations have over 700 MB of remaining storage.
After the 2nd or Third time it now tells me that there is "no new software update available."
Anyone else having trouble???
I'm getting the same "out of memory" error. I have plenty of space as well, so not sure what the problem is.
I'm rooted w/o clockwork mod installed.
Am i the only person who is getting sick of the market? It constantly is screwing up and wont load screens. Specifically tonight every time i go to update Superuser i get as far as where I can press Update and then the next screen wont load. I can go to Titanium Pro key but when I go to download it, I cant go to tge accept and install screen, once again it won't load. This happened non root and even while rooted.

thank you. I am NOT alone. stuff like this makes me feel like im going crazy haha
Here are two things you can try:
1. Manage Applications/All/Market/Clear Data - you will have to "Accept the Google terms again and then it will take a minute or so for the market to sync back up with your Gmail account.
2. Manage Applications/All/Market - if the market page has a button that says something like "undo/uninstall updates" hit that.
Good luck.

I have a rooted/rommed wifi-only S1 and my GF has a Blackberry 9780. She is currently overseas for X amount of time and the only way we can talk is by calling each other which is extremely expensive, or using skype which means she has to borrow a friend's laptop or android device. She has service on her phone over there, unsure of what type of plan.
I came up with the idea of using my old BB 8330 and figuring out how to use BBM or something similar on wifi-only, but it turns out that 'ol phone doesn't have wifi on it. It's too bad I sold my last BB some time ago which was an 8530 and had wifi. Oh well.
Anyways, I'm now wondering if there's an app I can use on my S1 that she can also use on her 9780 that would allow us to text and or talk. Something like BBM that doesn't require me to have service or a data plan. I imagine there's at least one app out there that would do this and also be available to BB users.
Thanks.

I read somewhere that it uses your phone number but can't seem to confirm that.
I'm pretty sure we can use KIK but it's text only. I may be getting greedy with wanting text and talk, but having both would be awesome.
Does her phone have a browser? If so, you could use any site like ebuddy to talk. Or even get on something like palringo (dunno if there's a bb version?) but there must be something alike.

She has service and we *think* her data is unlimited. She also has a wireless router at her flat so wifi helps if the data is limited/costly.
We're trying to use apps over our current methods or using something browser based mainly for convenience. Something like whatsapp or KIK would work perfectly from what I understand, but they're text-only. Not a huge problem, but if I can find text+voice that would be great. Skype is normally the answer to that question but her phone, or more specifically her service provider, isn't compatible with skype from what I'm seeing.

ETA: Looks like Blackberry devices can not use the VoIP feature yet but they say it will be available eventually.
Turns out you need a number for viber and my device is wifi-only. After some research I found that you can use any phone number that can receive SMS because it's for them to send you a registration PIN. I tried both my GV and Heywire numbers and haven't received that text on either one. :\
