Guest utternoob Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Anyone had problems downloading things that aren't from the market? Tried downloading UK stock ROM and SVoice but to no avail. Hoping it isn't a hardware problem: ( Edit: My bad, SD was full Edited May 22, 2012 by utternoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redstarr1 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Paid usb tethering??? No, koush's tethering app is free, unlimited for 14 days and 20mb per day after that. Not a lot but it's sufficient for basic browsing. And tethering works completely on non-ICS roms if it's a deal breaker for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Josh92 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) USB tethering works for me on Windows 7. Bluetooth should, too, but I didn;t test. Yeah it's just not natively supported on Mac for some reason. I somehow was using the Skate as a Wifi hotspot a few months back without any apps, can't think for the life of me how, think it may have been back on Atomic (GB), so it is possible with the hardware. I'll have a go with Bluetooth see if I can get it working, I could do it with an old Nokia too. If its that important why not pay the £4? Not that much and works really well, try the trial. Saves a lot more on the battery that wifi or bluetooth too. I'm sure you've paid for other apps that are less useful. EDIT: Nope, can't get it either.

Guest jtharmor Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 USB tethering works fine for me !! Just reboot in clockword incase u r having issue with drivers in windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cooler11 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) I'll do it. It appears as usb drive if I turn on usb storage, but the problem is to appear as a modem, not just as sd card. Yeah it's just not natively supported on Mac for some reason.

See the screenshot, sd card named 'zte-skate' is mounted, but in the other window with connections, I can see every other modem setting but no zte modem at all! http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8272/modems.jpg Edited May 22, 2012 by cooler11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest felystar Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Tilal do you think there is any chace on porting the recent apps in ICS to GB? So that when you hold home button you see like in ICS what you have opened and you.can close it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Josh92 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 @jtharmor, we are talking about OSX not Windows. @Cooler, yeah ZTE aren't on there, I tried generic etc but I'm not entirely sure if any will work, might be possible somehow if the settings are right, I suggest just paying the £4 if it's that important for you, or at least try the trial.

Guest cooler11 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 On the other hand, if we wait, maybe someday see a full support of wifi & usb tethering in ics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already installed the coldfusion rom and i want only update this. http://www.modaco.co...00#entry1951763 Follow the steps, (ignore the link at the top) and don't forget that you haven't got to reboot between installing the rom and gapps.

Guest jtharmor Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Can you explain? How can the computer communicate with skate, while in clockworkmod? CWM-->Advance settings --> Turn on USB storage.... But you have to just boot in CWM and windows will start finding the drivers..........if one USB port does not work try second one......

Guest cooler11 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think I finally did it! Install foxfi app in skate, and this allows me to share my skate's internet connection to my computer, using bluetooth! I made a lot of tests, it seems to work well! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Redstarr1 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 i just googled tpt skate n downloaded opt 2 but will go get 4 i will let u know how it go's thank u It's fine as long as the system partition is 200 mb, with a smaller cache size you just get more space for apps. Option 2 would have worked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
