Hmm, im not sure then, that app i suggested is the only infrastructure wifi tether we got did u try the adhoc one called wireless tether its a green logo and on the market for free..
But from my experience with my ds is it finds it on both of these apps but doesnt connect the security is wrong or something..
Sorry i couldnt be more help..

Yeah I did the green one that one didn't work. But the one you showed me works just has a dns error. Idk how do mess with the security settings I will play around with it. Thanks though

So I got it to work. You can't let it automatically choose a dns swerver u have to manually type it in the primary and secondary for it to work properlu. Thanks for all your help.

Titanium backup pro question...

So I'll admit, I didn't search for this topic, but I'm in a real time pinch, and I hope someone can answer this by the time I come back, sorry.
My question is this, I love titanium backup pro and how I can flash any rom, and make it feel like home right away, my issue is this, is there a way to have the apps recognized and be able to be updated? I see in the market that it only understands that I have a handful of the apps I actually have installed, so there's no way for me to receive the updates on anything else.
If I'm missing something, please enlighten me. And thanks ahead of time for a soultion!

Have you tried clearing out Market cache?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I can suggest two things:
- try using the Market Doctor feature in Titanium
- try installing a completely new app from the Market
I've noticed that doing the above will usually populate the "My apps" list in the Market after a Titanium restore.

whatever apps you have download through market, and backed up with TB pro and after restoring with TB Pro click menu and market doctor it will put missing links to market and should have all apps back in market as well ones that need update

Thanks everyone! TBP was one of my newest apps, so yeah, it didn't make all of the market connections, so I went through and redownloaded all my apps from the market, then did a new backup, so hopefully that (and the market doctor) will do it!
Thanks again for your help!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Make sure in TB's settings that "remove market link" isn't checked. That'll give you hours of fun as you're finding out now. Also after you run the market doctor - reboot. It may not be necessary per instructions and whatever else but a good 'ole reboot fixes a lot of things.

Searching the forum

Ok so I'm trying to search just the epic4g area of the forum with my xda app. But I can't seem to figure out how. I have a bunch of questions that the wiki didn't answer but I'm sure someone has asked so I don't want to again. But. When I search I get stuff from other deviece forums as well. Any ideas
Thanks. And is there a thanks feature?

The app does not have a section-specific search or a thanks button. Might as well ask them.

Buy Titanium back up from the Market. Get busy box from with in the app. Do a batch back up of apps and data. Export contacts to SD card if they are not in your Google account. Once you root make sure you do a NANDROID back up. Flash way. Go to Market d/l Titanium "free" the license will automaticly turn it to pro it. Batch restore. Done.

Ok, question 1 is odd, if you an issue updating and all you have done is rooted and changed to the Clean Kernel, its possible you got a bad download. Your best bet is to PM dRockstar on that one. Its really strange if it shows updates available and won't, that's some random issue
On to question 2...definately make a nandroid backup. Power down the phone. Hold volume down, camera button, and power on all at the same time. Scroll down with volume key and select backup/restore. Then select backup and let it do its thing. It takes a few minutes but then you have a backup to rely on BUT its always best to take out your SD card and backup everything to your PC. Nandroid backups aren't always perfect and sometimes if you use one it may not work. If you flash a ROM, its best to install apps fresh but you can (after flashing ROM) boot into recovery, scroll to backup/restore, then advanced, then restore data only. Some ROMs may give you fits that's why its always best to have a saved version of everything on your PC as well

Apps bought from the Amazon Market can only be updated through the Amazon Market. The markets are separate and do not share purchase records. You'll need to have Amazon, and update through it, which is, unfortunately, a little slow on pushing out updates. Rest assured, they will come. Dev pages like SetCpu will post the app free sometimes, but the version in the market is donation-ware. If you want to get it updated for free, you'll have to go back to the page you originally got it and get a new one.

A couple things here:
What CWM are you on? If you have to update it for a new rom, be aware that the Nandroid backups will not be compatible, and you'll have to odin back to re-use a backup, should something go wrong. I don't know about Swiss Cheese, you'll have to read the posts in it's thread to know if it can flash without losing data. I've posted a rom called RandomROM that is based off of SRF 1.1.0, which can flash over another version of SRF safely, but may not work properly in other situations.

Thanks for the info on the updates
And I'm on cwm 2.5.1
I have a nandroid backup, a mybackup back up. Ill get that other one as well and ill see how things go and then try n flash a rom

[Q]Installed First ROM, fastest way to recover apps etc

I just installed my first rom. Its one the Calkulins EL29 one. I did a Nandroid backup and also a Titanium Backup. I'm new to all this so was wondering what is the quickest way to get all my apps and all that back. Sorry if this was asked before. Thanks.

In titanium press menu, then batch. Select user app + data. In minutes you're up and running. I would not advise restoring* system apps

Good to see a newbie asking questions instead of just doing things and bricking your phone. If your on GB and flashing to another GB rom, (using your nandroid backup) you can also boot into cwm and advanced restore your data as well . Because your new you should consider reading my guide to avoid bricking your phone if you decide to flash to ICS anytime soon

Thanks for the heads up my man. I'll definitely have to check out your guide. Are you running an ICS rom now? If so how is it?

Idk if it's worth it for you, but I'd highly recommend purchasing the pro version of titanium. I know its like $6 but the upgraded features are awesome.
For instance, what you're about to do, one of the upgrades would be not having to press install as it goes through each of your apps. You'd just press batch install and set your phone down
That's just one small feature of the upgraded. One of the only apps I had zero problem paying for!

Cant it cause issues if you restore apps + data? I always thought it was better/safer to do apps only.

I didn't have any issue with doing both.

If you flash a new rom then yes restoring system data can potentially cause problems. I never back up system data because I change roms to frequently.

Always a good idea to backup system data or you may not be saved someday. Luckily for us Samsung includes download for Odin, other devices you may not be so lucky, and without a full nandroid you may be screwed (happens on tabs all the time) happy flashing!

[Q] Best all-in-one Backup solution?

I searched the forum but didn't' see anything.
What is the best single app to use for a whole backup solution? Not as in backing up the ROM itself. But for backing up call logs, text messages, apps & cache, desktop configuration with widget shortcuts, etc. etc. I know there are various apps to do various types of backups. But I want a single app that does it all. Am willing to pay for it.
Something that after flashing a new ROM, will go through and restore EVERYTHING.
Any suggestions?

AFAIK, Titanium does not back up call logs and SMS, as requested in my OP.
Edit, it can backup all system data. But this is never a reliable restore in my experience. Which is why I forgot about it because I stopped using it a looong time ago.

And Callogs + a bunch of other settings..
IF somehow(highly unlikely) the backup is corrupted,u can extract your nandroid backup and restore it from there and u can add an server account eg dropbox/box and upload your most important backup..
Nothing compares to titanium b. Just read on how to use is properly

Well, I appreciate the TB suggestions. But let me re-prioritize my request.
The app needs to be newbie friendly since it'll be used by non-Android geeks like ourselves. I intend for it to be used by some of my friends to do on their own from time to time, in preparation of me re-flashing new ROM's, etc. for them.
I don't want to wait forever to back up stuff before I flash. I want it to already be done by the time I get there to help with the flashing.

use titanium, setup a schedule for them and let it do it's thing. mine backups new and modified data every morning at 4am.
would take all of 2 minutes for you to write down the steps for them

tita backup is the way to go:good:

you could try my backup root/pro - however I find its not quite as reliable as titanium

Seriously?? I've had Rom Toolbox Pro forever and never even realized it had the backup functions. I just reinstalled it. I'd forgotten it had so many cool utilities all wrapped into one package.
Still not something I'd give my newbie friends though.
