I've been rooted for a month with my bionic and I'm running the Liberty ROM. I've had my share of "operator errors", but never had any problems fixing them. I fixed this issue too but find it... very...interresting....
Last night I finally decided to tether. Downloaded the wifi tether v3_1-beta11.apk, and ran it. No issues. Tether radio signal icon appeared along with the native hotspot radio icon. I was prompted by the hotspot software that tethering is a pay-for service. I clicked cancel and shut down the wifi tether out of fear. My computer wasn't connected yet so no data transfer took place. A few moments later I started wifi tether again and this time it started alone, without the native hotspot program opening simultaneously. I was satisfied so I set up my laptop and connected fine. I jumped on Craigslist to test out the connection (who knows when the next big curb-alert will sound?) Only transferred ~600kb. After I finished scouring the "Free" section for boxes of old magazines I shut down all connections and went up to bed to watch netflix. Went to play netflix on phone an it's gone! It was there before I tethered, I had watched it earlier in the day. No biggie, maybe I deleted it inadvertently while in toolbox before. I'll just jump on the marketplace and download it. BAM- "app is not supported by my device" it says in the marketplace. I can't redownload it! It is blocking me out!
App wasn't found in root explorer, ROM toolbox, titanium backup, or super backup. I also had no data connection anymore.( I always have 4G in my house.) I restarted the phone and still nothing. I jumped back and forth between various Nandroids and Netflix is on all of them (and works) except the one I just made seconds ago after this issue popped up. I also had data connections on all of the other nandroids I rebooted into. Every time I reloaded the nandroid I made after tethering I lose all data connection and netflix. Funny how they almost go hand-in-hand if you were trying to shut out a hacker from using a huge data-eating program via tether...
Long story even longer- I went into root explorer, went to mnt/sd-ext/backups/ (or something close to that-I can't remember exactly) and found the backup file of netflix on my external sd. I reinstalled it off of that file (doing a full app recovery w/TB failed to bring it back from the dead). Now netflix works and I have a data connection again. Weird? Marketplace still says Netflix is incompatible with my device.
Sorry for such a long post, but I have searched and found nothing remotely close to being like this.
Any ideas/suggestions/insights?
