[Acer Iconia A500] mtvoid:
Thanks to Slaught3r for the info about the patch. It is important to follow the directions re: the buttons in the PDF exactly. The directions on the Acer support web site differ about when to release the power button versus the volume button, and those directions do NOT work.

Before you do this you may want to disable your router's wireless security, at least until you get the update installed.
[Acer Iconia A500] pbaker99:
@Slaught3r:

Acer doc suggests the problem was fixed in A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2.

I am experiencing frequent but short Wifi disconnects with Build A500_4.010.11_COM_GEN2.

Can you tell me what build you applied your patch to and what you are now running? I am trying to decide if applying this patch is appropriate, considering I already have a later build.

Any further info from anyone reading this would be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] The_Monkey_King:
I had the same issue after the update to .11. However I solved my issue without the patch.

On the Acer website, I searched on wifi and came upon this link: "What can I do if I am unable to connect via WiFi after completing an Iconia Tab A500 system update?"

I tried the first suggestion of turning the wifi on and off with a restart. It didn't work. The second suggestion is to do a hardware reset with using a paper clip to the hardware switch. That worked; keep in mind that you need to perform that reset twice. The instructions are pretty clear cut.
[Acer Iconia A500] Slaught3r:
@pbaker99

I was on Acer_A500_4.010.09_COM_GEN2 (pre patch where Wifi was acting up)

After the recent OTA, I'm on 4.010.10_COM_GEN2

My system shows "Up to date" so there is no .11 for me (at least not yet).

It has been a couple days since the patch and subsequent update from .09 to .10 and everything has been fine for my model. Sorry you are having the issues you are.
[Acer Iconia A500] leiko49:
Many times the wifi problem is caused by incompatible router software. While you would think Acer would take care of this via software upgrade, they do so only for limited routers, apparently.

I just spoke to Dlink, the manufacturer of my router, downloaded updated firmware, works perfectly for two days.
[Acer Iconia A500] fair_dincum:
Thanks for posting this. Luckily I have fixed my WIFI problems with the first step.

At some point my router had a problem that somehow stuffed up Iconia's WIFI. Just rebooting didn't help as it still couldn't connect to any network. Switching wifi off and rebooting did the trick for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipsi:
Search function is currently unavailable, so apologies if this is a dupe...

Anyways, I'm currently running Rooted Stock 2.3.4 on my N1, and I've noticed that whenever I connect to my friend's DLink router (DIR-655, I think) the Wireless will work for some amount of time, but eventually it will stop working. And not just on my phone, either - the entire router stops working (at least for Wireless requests. Didn't have any wired devices connected to it). Thing is, last time I noticed it, it worked for quite a while - hour or two, maybe - then everything broke about 10 minutes after I received an email... At that point, the router needs to be rebooted, after which it continues working just fine.

The router is using WPA2 encryption, for what it's worth.

I've noticed this with previous versions of Android, so it's not a breaking change introduced with 2.3.4 or anything.

Unfortunately, I don't have an awful lot of Wireless routers to test with, and I haven't yet found an opportunity to test at home, so I'd be hard-pressed to say whether it's a router/D-Link problem, or if it's a device problem...

Has anyone else experienced this? Would flashing a custom ROM (e.g. CM7) fix this? Or would I need a new device? Any thoughts on what else I could do to debug this problem? As I said, this is a rooted device, with an unlocked bootloader and the latest version of Busybox installed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindfrost82:
I'm running 2.3.4 and haven't had this issue with this version or any previous ones.

I've had my phone disconnect from Google Services (the icons turn white instead of green), but the internet stays on and all other devices work just fine.

I have a Netgear router at home and a Linksys one at work and I'm connected to both the whole time I'm at either place.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipsi:
Hmm... That's interesting.

I've never had Google Services disconnect, but I do have another issue with data randomly turning off. That's not a big deal, as I can just turn it actually off then back on again, and all is good.

Anyone else able to chime in with their experiences?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I have had this happen with cheap, crappy routers. Sometimes upgrading the router to DD-WRT helps, sometimes it doesn't. I had an ASUS this would happen to all the time, and an Airlink that this would happen to occasionally.

This doesn't ever happen to my Linksys WRT610N, and it never happened to an old ZyXEL X550.

I'm going to say, it's just a crappy router.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipsi:
Thanks. Not really what I was hoping to hear, but that's life.

Did either bad router ever have this issue with other devices? One of the other folks living there has an iPad, and never has this issue, so I'm inclined to say it's at least partly my N1s fault. Also doesn't happen with any of the PCs connected to it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Yeah, they actually did occasionally have issues with other devices. Hard to narrow it down because I have a ton of Wifi devices. The ASUS also seemed to go down based on time... after so long, it would just stop working properly. The Airlink seemed to get stuck based on demand and range. If I had my phone or laptop at the far end of the house and started using it a lot, it would get stuck. It was as if the router decided it was too much work to pump its signal that far and it would get tired.

Stock ROM on my N1 doesn't seem to allow it, but if you have a custom ROM, you might see if there is any way to set the Wifi to G-only. I had noticed on my old router that G wireless devices seemed less demanding for it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linushsu:
Hello my fellow XDA-members!

I bought a Nexus S a few months ago and got a guy helping me to root it. I have 2.3.2 Pre-installed.

about 2 weeks ago (mid April) I got the message from my phone that an update was available. Therefore I tried to update to 2.3.4. The update failed and weirdly my phone when to

2.3.1

from 2.3.2 !

Anyways, I Ignored it and yesterday I noticed that a new message about 2.3.4 update was on my notification bar. So I tried again, Still got aborted... and now Im back to 2.3.2 :S

Both time when I have tried updating I have gotten the message Status 7 and something about E:/... , cache fail.

What can I do ?

[Galaxy S II General] segfault82:
i know tmobile uses 1700/2100 depending on the area you are in and the galaxy s2 only supports 2100 out of those two. so my question is what frequency does tmobile use in nyc? or is it a combination of both?
[Galaxy S II General] demo23019:
Someone told me 1700 is for upload and 1900 is for down.

It supports the same bands the i9000 uses and that doesn't support 3g on tmobile
[Galaxy S II General] DuoM:
You need both. AWS uses 1700 to upload and 2100 to download.

ahh i see.. thanks for the clarification. well hopefully they won't take too long releasing a version with a radio that supports tmobile.

How to install themes and kernels in G3. Can someone make a video Please.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Sorry if this might come off as rude, but why would somebody make a video for you? Why would somebody do that, if you (obviously) weren't willing to look for the info yourself? Go to the themes section, you are bound to find info on changing themes, go to the development section and open a custom kernel thread, you are bound to find info on flashing kernels.
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
go to the theme sections for more details..!!

you need your phone to be rooted to install themes..!!

many themes have different requirement and procedure.!!

generally you are required to replace the framework_res and tw_framework files in system/framework folder using root explorer..

you can also try the one click theme changer and g3 theme changer apps!!

more info in the themes sections.!!

you can install kernals by flashing them via odin!!!

more info in development section!!!!

you can always refer this link too!! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858583

this is there in stubborn_donkey's signature!!

and always try to search in the sections for your answer.. if you still dont get any then you post a new thread..!!!;)
[Galaxy 3 General] vimalaug07:
Thanks guys for the reply. If there was a video it would be nice. I tried to install theme by using cmw and install zip from sd card, then my phone restarts and gets stuck in that and i have to flash the os again.
[Galaxy 3 General] rjpalmeida88:
to install a theme just use this

to install a kernel download the kernel whta you want and flash it with odin, normaly it comes in a tar file including a zImage inside
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
That was not the right way. U need to download a theme and replace the respective files

Acid lestitious 2.0. Fugumod 2.2
[Galaxy 3 General] jihaa:
It's quite simple.

1. Kernels come in .tar packages, and you need only to flash them on your phone with ODIN as one package. They will overwrite your current kernel.

2. Themes come in .apk files. You should put them in /system/framework/

For that, I use adb (android shell).

But if you asked that question, you probably have an odexed rom, which makes it nearly impossible to use themes, so read around on the forums first!
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
it would be really appreciated if you can make a tutorial on how to use adb!!

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to get the stock froyo keyboard on the nexus s. I really love it and I still can't get used to the gingerbread one after 3 months. I would prefer to do this without rooting and on the phone if possible. Does anyone know of this being possible?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
There are small and light keyboards out there that are free but their dictionaries are small to non existing. Anysoftkeyboard and drben0x are good. I prefer the Dr if I had to pick one. A great paid one is smart keyboard pro. That is the one I've been running for awhile and have been happy. I find using the t9 built in helps when the normal keys are just too narrow. Also, there's a dictionary add on that seems very good with available words. Of coarse there are many others besides these but these are my suggestions.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Smart Keyboard Pro has two versions. A free and paid one, it has about the same features. But +1, I use Smart Keyboard Pro as well.. it's very accurate and I prefer it over any other keyboard including Swiftkey.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanatize:
Hey guys! Quick question about my G2!

When i feel the feedback on other phones by pressing "Home, Menu, Back, Search" It has a powerful quick vibration. As for my G2 its okay, but nothing amazing. I personally like the feel of phones like for say the Atrix, or LG Optimus phones. The virbration feedback is good when typing a message or something. Any way to program my phones vibration upon pressing those keys? Just to give a little more power?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhilberg:
If you're running CM7 you can customize the strength of the haptic feedback, among other things. Menu > Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Input > Haptic feedback tweaks

[About XDA developers] jermyer:
While I agree that the case can be made for 10 posts being a small amount, the problem is the sheer amount of people posting. I am unable to check XDA during the day, so most questions that are ones I would answer are already answered. The devs are good at that. Also, the "find something to post about " exactly the problem.
