[APP] Copy Apps to you VS GTAB with "Bluetooth File Transfer"

I just wanted to put this out there for anyone having trouble finding apps on the Market with their VS GTAB.
I found Bluetooth File Transfer by "Medevial Software" that allowed me to transfer most of the apps that I have on my Nexus One over to my GTAB.
The app has a nifty little function called "Send Applications" on the menu under the "more" tab.
Both devices have to have bluetooth on for this function to activate.
This app helped me to get apps over to my GTAB when I couldn't get to them from the Market (on the GTAB).
Some Apps on my N1 were locked so I could'nt move those but for the most part I was able to get a lot of apps on my GTAB that I was not able to get via normal channels.

You can also use the free version of dropbox and get apps from all your PC/phone/Gtab.
It's a cool little app/program. and you can share folders as well. But it is only via wifi, which is fine as my phone is rooted so I always have wifi.

I used Dropbox all the time it's pretty cool but I tried to see if I could get my apps from my N1 over to my GTAB with Dropbox but it didn't give me the option to send APKs like BTFT does.
BTFT will package the selected apps into individual APKs so you can install them easily after they are transfered to your device. Which is a big help because before I found BTFT I was moving apps over using Titanium Backup which had many steps to get the apps over and installed successfully. With BTFT those steps are greatly reduced.
Try it out.

Nice find, thank you sir.

I used BT File Transfer on my Droid and it said successfully transferred, but where does it transfer the app to on the tablet?

I believe the default location for transfered apps is the main directory of the internal sdcard.
/mnt/sdcard
Just scroll to the bottom if you are using a file explorer like estrongs.

BTFS worked great for me! send a few apps to my boss' droid2!

Here is an easy way to transfer and sideload. Using a WiFi connection.
Download apk's to your pc, use ES File explorer to browse for apk on PC (Lan), copy to your "downloads" folder on sd (Local). Browse w/ ES File explorer to downloads , choose apk and install.
Been working like a charm for me
Edit; Sorry to post this here, since this thread relates to "BFT", meant to post on previous thread.

Can you confirm that you are using Vegan, because I do and it say my FTP OBEX service is not installed, did you flash another kernel ?
It does work from Vegan to Nexus but not from nexus to vegan...

Using VEGAn 5.1 Beta with Pershoots Latest 2.6.32.29
It does work Nexus to VEGA, I just tried it out again using CM7 RC1 on my
Nexus w/Wildmonks 2.6.35.10. Transferred nine test apk's over just now as I typed this thread reply.
I'm not using the 5.1.1 supplement.

I was using stock kernel (I guess) from vegan, updating now to see how it goes...
NO GO! updated to latest pershoot
Weird, anyhow, no biggy since I have plenty of other way to transfer my apk, just very strange!

Hmmm? Don't have an answer for you. I remember having that same issue but all I did was make sure both devices were discoverable and making sure the ftp share service and opp receiving service were both enabled in settings for both devices. I don't know for sure that would be your fix though..

BTF
I had the problem before of getting an error message, but I installed Blue Tooth File Transfer on both devices and now it works fine. I have it on my Gtab, EPIC, Moment, and EVO and all works fine.

Wow, very cool. Thanks, worked great from N1.

Enable tethering

This is kinda the same as the Atrix, not sure who posted this but the steps for enableing tethering are pretty much the same.
1. Root
2. Install SQLite Editor
3. Under Settings Storage select Settings.db
4. Select secure
5. Mine is line 147 yours might be different (tether_entitlement_check_state) change value from 1 to 0 (Zero)
6. back out of SQLite till at home screen
tethering should now be working I have had some problems with restarting and having to go back in and change this setting back to 0, still trying to locate the problem but havent really had time to do so.
option 2
NO Root needed!!!
1. Download any cut from market
2. Open and select activity then select hidden menu this will give you all of the hidden menu options or you can just select connectivity test.
3. Open new shortcut and unselect entitlement.
tether will now be working but once again you will have to go back into the settings and reunselect this option if you reboot.
this way does not dissable the renableing of the entitlement still working on that.

Cool, thanks dude i didnt want to have to wait for a rom.

thanks man

Which one would be the best from the market? I did it for my Captivate oh do many months ago but I can't remember which one I used and on my Dell I never needed to do anything.

option 2 is a little easier, specially is you reboot often.

Sqlite only worked once for me. Once I rebooted my phone, it wouldn't work again no matter if I went and changed the field back to 0 and backed out or just pressed home key. It automatically changes back to a 1 when trying to hit usb tethering or hotspot wifi. Then go back and change it to a 0 and it switches it back to a 1 when I try and tether. KInda disapointed I spent the money on this app for this one purpose and now it's past the refund time.

I have been having more luck with option 2 using sqlite does have some problems this way it actually dissables the entitlement through a native app.

Option 2 let me turn on the Mobile AP but I have yet to test it.
I also discovered that if you try to turn on the Mobile AP using an app like Widgetsoid it reboots the phone! I'm hesitant to use widgetsoid for that function now.

What apps
Which apps should I download from marketplace? I'm new to android, haven't done anything rom related since 6.5 windows was barely released

Follow option 2 more reliable from my experience. And no paid apps required.

"1. Download any cut from market"
What do they mean?

"any cut" is the name of the App that you can DL from the market.
Another note, does anyone have any idea how to enable bluetooth tethering?

I've been looking everywhere for this with no luck. Had I realized I couldn't bluetooth tether I probably would have waited for a different phone. Hopefully CM7 will be released soon-ish and support it.

Am I missing something? I just got my Thrill 2 days ago so I was not sure about tethering and all that because I have not had time to play with it. I just went to "Wireless and Network Settings", and its listed right there under "Bluetooth Settings".
It says; "Tethering & Portable Hotspot". Maybe I just got lucky but I checked the box with it hooked to my computer and I am tethered.

#1 Worked perfectly. Thank you very much!!

is entitlement under one of the other options? been looking still cant find it,

can you be more specific on the step by step process in option 2...sorry I'm kinda a newb but I would really appreciate it... if you could..I downloaded any cut but after that im kinda lost...i get new shortcut or edit shortcut in the app...dont see "activity"

you will need to select new short cuts.

OMG, thank you. Option 2 couldn't be easier. I don't plan on installing any custom roms or anything so this is perfect for me. "quotations" would have helped the n00bs understand the instructions better but I consider myself extremely n00bish when it comes to Android and I understood it. Thanks mucho.

thanks, option 2 works perfectly for LG Thrill!

WiFi tethering?

Does it work out of the box for grandfathered unlimited plans? Hoping it might since this is supposedly vanilla android...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Tethering and hotspot options are both available on my phone with the standard 3GB data cap, so I would assume that its available on the unlimited plan as well.

Thanks. Do you have a family share plan or an individual plan? The family share plans apparently include tethering.

It is an individual plan which doesn't include tethering, but the feature is still available.

Didn't work for me I haven't unlocked on HTC dev yet but I don't imagine that will change anything.

Hmm, I just now tried it, and I get the same message. Guess we'll need to wait for a third-party ROM like CM10 before this is an option...

Have any of you tried FoxFi? Its in the Play store, and it's free. There is also PDAnet as well.

Anybody that is rooted get WiFi tethering to work yet? Barnacle or WiFi tether for root users or something like that?

I'm also having the same problem with wifi hotspot (tethering). Unlocked my phone (originally locked with AT&T) and anytime I click to enable Portable wifi hotspot I get "There is a temporary problem that prevents the enablement of the Mobile Hotspot function. Please retry later."
I've also tried installing FoxFi to see if I could tether that way - no luck. I get the same error message as above.
Any one have any solutions?

Solved! Alright, so I rooted the phone using the HTC First All In One found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242639
Once the phone was rooted, I downloaded an app on Google Play called "WiFi Tether" (do not download FoxFi, it doesn't work). The "WiFi Tether" app works ONLY for rooted phones.
Now I can finally tether!

That's not working for me maybe because I only used moonshine?
I scoured the interwebs and found these solutions...
These ways will work for people who can't still can't get their hotspot working:
Stock roms seem to whitelist the apns that can use their tether, so either
1. Insert entitled {yourCarrierAPN} into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db with sqlite editor:
Old Instructions:
1. Use a rooted filemanager (e.g. ES File Explorer) to backup the Telephony Database (/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db) to a safe place (e.g. /sdcard/).
2. Download SQLite Installer for Root from the Market and open the app and install SQLite3
3. Open an adb shell
4. Type the following command in to open the telephony database:
su -c sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
5. This should have opened sqlite3. If it did then type the following command in to update the database:
INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, authtype, type, insert_by, state, protocol, roaming_protocol, carrier_enabled, bearer) VALUES ("Entitlement","302720","302","720","ltemobile.apn ","-1","entitle","internal","hidden","IP","IP","1","0" );
6. To confirm that this has been applied you can type the following:
select * from carriers;
This should list all the carriers you have in your telephony.db and the one you just added should be at the bottom.
7. Type the following to quit sqlite3
.exit
8. Type the following to reboot your phone
reboot

Summary:
a. Find /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and it's 'carrier' table
b. Edit telephony.db with sqlite editor and add a row that is the same as the hidden AT&T Entitlement APNS, but change the numeric, mcc, mnc, apn type to match your current cellphone's APN in the database
c. Save, reboot, and viola! default tethering activated
or
2. Hack and disable apn check in framework-res.apk

tethering problem on sprint?

I've done the build.prop edit needed to get the tethering to work, but when i turn on the hotspot i'm able to connect to it with several devices like Ipad, s4, and laptop but they don't have internet access. is there something else i have to do in order to get it working? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You have to edit a database entry as well. Search the forums. Youll need sqlite editor from play store.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/sprint-nexus-6-wifi-tethering-root-t2949024

Yeah i just tried that as well bought the sqlite editor and still nothing...
any more suggestions?

Try adding one, reboot then other. I had issues getting it to wotk. Double check the entries are correct (no caps) and just try again. It does work.

I got it to work but had to factory reset and then it worked fine

WiFi persistent problem

I'm on the Verizon "eclipse ROM" on my ATT note 3. I never had WiFi problems except for when first flashing and having to reenter my WiFi password every time I restarted. There was an easy fix for that. Recently I noticed my WiFi messing up and acting irregular. For the most part it works fine. Here's a pic
