Deleting playstationcertified.odex from \system\framework\ should fix booting

Use WiFi tether from play or Google code.

Didn't notice a setting for mobile hotspots in the settings, sometimes it is nice to be able to create a quick wifi connection. Should there be a option or will I need an app?

You can try at&t smart wi-fi app if you are using ATT.
Are you talking about making your phone a wifi access point? Aka tethering? If so look at the other threads about ICS and tethering. If the wifi hotspots settings are missing its because you upgraded to ics from the at&t firmware. Other threads have info regarding it.

On the topic, if using the native tethering on ics, doesnt at&t charge you? I noticed that android wifi tether for root works so thats a way to avoid it.

Nope. Never been charged and never been contacted about it. That's the nice thing about using an international rom. No AT&T restrictions.

I just updated to ics and am wondering where the wifi direct options are.
Also if anyone has successfully been able to extract the s beam apk it would be well appreciated

The wifi direct option is now available on WIFI options when u scan for a wifi connection. The TV for example will appear as a option to connect directly with it via Wifi direct. The same option is available in the Xperia S.
How do i update if am already on ics and rooted with cwm :/

There is no option for wifi direct if not other device is detected in the wifi scan. Shouldn't wifi direct work between phones as well? On the Xperia P there is a wifi direct menu option in settings if I recall correctly (don't have mine with me to confirm)
WiFi direct is a tool that is used in a beam along with nfc. But yes you can send things between phones.

Settings on my Xperia P. Interesting they made a enable/disable checkbox for it on the Xperia P but nothing on the ion or Xperia S

Correct NFC is used with Bluetooth. Wifi Direct in most sony products is just to interconnect with each other and share photos, movies, and music withouth a need of a wifi connection or a router. I used to work for Sony as a Product Trainer. For instance the Wifi Direct feature in the Xperia Sony Tablet S is the same as the ion and S, the TV for example will appear as a wifi connection option. As for in the Tablet S 2011 has a option to activated Wifi direct, which will be change soon with the ICS 4.0.4 release4 update that the new one already has.
Updated my sony to ICS 4.0.4. However, my sdcard has trouble. Status says it is empty or unsupported filesystem and gives me option to format. After formatting, it still says the same message and cycle continues. Anyone has experienced this? How do I get around this? Thanks,

I am using Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc.
My problem is Internet is not working in Ultimate HD ROM.! I tried to replace cm10's apk-config.xml but dint work.. tried manually too, but dint work. Same problem faced for Samsung phones. They just used an app called GetRill to take an RIL backup from another -internet working- ROM it worked for them. But my phone is not supporting that GetRill app. So please help me..!

Hey guys, i got a question about the Wifi tethering on the Xperia S.
is it possible to show the connected devices via an app or with the system himself, when i have Wifi tethering on? i don't want to look everytime in the dnsmasq.leases file or what it calls.
Just password protect it with wpa2 and you should be more then secure

Good question.
WiFi is seen as off when WiFi tethering is enabled, so applications like Fing and WiFi Analyzer just see the WiFi interface as down.
You have to have 'conventional' WiFi disabled and WiFi thethering enabled, so this would only be a short term config under a controlled environment in most cases.
It's true WPA2 and a password does provide good basic security, but....
I have an old XPERIA X10i with a 64GB mircroSD card which could make a short to long term mobile NAS and in such an environment where many people are using your hotspot "NAS" for documents, music and/or videos access/streaming, knowing if someone is using it before disabling the service may be helpful.
So, I too, would be interested if there is an app that sees the tethered interface and the network connections using it.
I have done little reaserch and came up with this.

try it

Interesting. How did you enable and view the tethered interface when Fing only monitors wlan0?
I didnt, i only search on google. Some guys were report they use this app for that action
I actually saw it on the Galaxy S3 which has tethering enabled and shows the connected devices. so i think it can be done if we port the tethering app from the galaxy s3 to the XS. after that it should work.. maybe.. =D
btw. i tested the app and it didn't work.. :/
Just curious, can you instal that app on second phone and conect to host, can you then look which devices are conected to it?
