[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hunteres:
For some reason my wifi stoped working.

i was on revolution 2.1.0 and it stoped over night. without me doing anything. It cant connect to wifi - to any wifi. it says the conexion is poor or even the wifi bar is full but the device cant obtain the internet. the icons stays grey wifi is there but no internet.

so what i did was

1. flashed different radios xxkk1 - xxkk6

2. flashed stock with odin from chainfire

3. flashed different kernels

4. flashed different ROMS - cm9 and pauls and then back revo 2.1.

and no such a luck. nothing helps- wifi icon stays grey.

i did full wipe before each flash. and no change.

and somehow after 3 hours wifi came back. without me doing anything.

I am just scared what it could be. did someone here experienced the same issue? how did you deal with it?

Have u checked your wifi band? 2.4ghz vs 5 ghz? Compatibility with your router?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hunteres:
i did mate. but i left it on auto. anyway it was working before like a charm. and then it stops. i also tried different routers - wifi's all are ok. phone locate them connect to them but the icons stays grey and no internet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwlinx:
I'm having the same problem.

I've tried Revolution 2.1.0 and 2.1.2 with the same results.

It seems that it just stop passing traffic though the WiFi icon shows the up and down triangles as if traffic is passing. But no packets actually flow.

Usually I can turn off the wifi, wait a few minutes and turn it back on.

Same thing happens to my 3G and 4G icons. They'll grey out but indicate traffic is passing, yet it's not.

I haven't gone back to the stock rom yet because the problem is sporadic enough that I can't make it happen consistently enough to test it.

I'd like this problem to go away. Thoughts and suggestions welcomed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtuallyspeaking1:
Hi - same problem. Was your connection solved?

Hello,

I see that your thread ended without a solution to your Wifi connection problem I have a samsung galaxy nexus that has the same problem. I have tried the same solutions, but have yet to find one that works. My data works find, but I prefer to move between Wifi locations to keep my costs down. Where you able to solve your problem...on this site or some other site? Would you mind sharing your solution.

Thanks,

Scott
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sum14u2nvy:
Had the same problem. Gotta do a fresh install. Wipe cache and dalvik twice and the install. Worked fine. Or you can just wipe dalvik and cache and see what happened. Might work.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RustyTrombone:
Hello all,

First post here excuse my noobage. I have an extensive blu ray collection with several digital copies with them. Just curious, will the galaxy tab play blu rays at all? I was thinking of putting them on an an external hard drive but I'm not sure either are supported. I have the usb adaptor, would it be my best bet to throw them on a flash drive, if in fact blu rays will play at all? I am currently rooted if this makes any difference..

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Nope, no bluray support. Your best bet is learning to rip and encode specifically for the device or ripping and streaming from a PC to the device using something like Plex.

There are various ripping and encoding solutions out there though with varying degrees of difficulty. Im not sure what the easiest would be but for myself I use Anydvd to rip and Handbrake to encode.

Good Luck!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2653512:
Wait, are you saying the galaxy tab wont even play a bluray rip in mp4 format?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
To be clear, I interpreted the original post to be asking if a GT 10.1 can play a bluray either straight from a USB bluray drive OR as a straight rip from the disc itself (i.e. all bluray structure intact, no re-encoding/recompression done to the original movie). That's my definition of a rip, to copy the content off not to recompress it. The answer to that is a resounding no, these tegra 2 based tablets just can't handle that kind of task.

Ripping and then re-encoding will work provided the encoding method produces a file the device supports. As I said, I use Handbrake. Generally in Handbrake I start with the regular high profile and then on the audio tab I'll just do a single AAC track at a bitrate of 160 and on the advanced tab I'll turn off max b-frames, cabac, 8x8 transform and weighted p-frames. On the picture side I'll drop the resolution down to 1280 width (letting the height be whatever it needs to). On the video tab I'll try either a constant quality setting (20-22 depending on the movie) or I'll go for a 2-pass encode using a target bitrate of 3500 or so. Resulting videos in MP4 format play great in Dice player.

I'll also add that for those storing a handful of movies and TV shows on your tabs for travel Mizuu's a great little XBMC type app that adds some flair to your collection. Really like having the widgets up on my video hub homescreen and picking shows/movies from there and then getting details on movie content or episode info in an XBMC type format.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Wow, is this a fun, beautiful phone.

Curious to who I know around here. Any x2/bionic peeps around? Curious to all of your thoughts on this phone and if any of you here are cheesecaking.

I must admit, I think I like this better than the Nex. Additionally, Moto made some very nice improvements to their interface (*blur*) on a lot of different levels.

Anyways, just saying hello to all of you. Let's keep this forum alive.

Cheers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Hey 'Wolfe. Glad to see you here. I made the jump from the x2 (wife needed a working phone & I needed a new toy) the day this came out. So far, it's been a great experience & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Glad you're on board.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] demo333:
I like this phone just jump from bionic but the only think is the hotspot is turn off by then self after few minutes lol just saying :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
I don't use hotspots so I haven't experienced this, but I do know I don't lose apps after a reboot :)

So far mobile connection seems far superior, as does performance. Also, huge fan of the screen, although I do get kind of a greenish tint at times where I feel it should be white - market hang screen for example.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bomuaz:
It is great mobile. Am coming from nexus s after i broker the glass :'(.. So o designed to take this mobile over samsung s2

I really like it except the the larg body

BUT i noticed the wifi range is weak!! And there is no video calls option

Rather than that every thing is great
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sreeman:
you can use viber or Skype for video call
[Motorola Droid RAZR] circleofomega:
That is my fear...and one of the reasons I still haven't made the jump(not to mention the cost :P) A colleague has a SGSII and the screen looks anything but white...especially as compared to (my) HD7...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
You get used to it. Lol. It's not horrible.

I'll take the trade off, as the screen doesn't look as gradiented <--- is that a word?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
hello Wolfe... Welcome.. I know the name over on wikki :-)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] circleofomega:
I'm sorry I didn't quite understand the trade-off bit...apologies...but when I saw it once, I was looking for a faaaaar brighter screen, considering the fact that its a sAMOLED...but I found it a little dark...but was told in some forum its because of some ambient setting...will make sure to check it next time properly...

But am surely buying it for sure...in a while... Congrats on your phone BTW.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Hope to see you here soon, this really has been an impressive improvement on Motorola's part. As far as the screen goes there's an additional option to allow the os to manage auto brightness to conserve battery. Net effect: it's about 25% dimmer at times than just "normal" auto brightness.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
I believe the dimmer look is attributed to the AMOLED screen. What I was saying as far as a "trade-off" is that I'll take a slightly dimmer screen to get a less pentile effect. This screen looks much nicer than the Bionic in my opinion...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] firsttimer44:
I just "upgraded " from the nexus to the razr and I am absolutely loving it. The nexus' radio was awful. This phone is just so much more solid overall.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
Got this phone a week back! Totally loving it. My old Xperia X8 was almost driving me nuts! Already rooted and safestrapped! :D

So how's your RAZR experience?
[General Questions and Answers] Chileno4Live:
Hello everyone!

I am new to these forums, and as such, glad to meet you all!

Recently, I have flashed a rom and a kernel onto my Samsung Galaxy S i9000. I am very pleased with the result although I have one problem that I came across. As you have read on the title, my WiFi is very unstable and after 2/3 minutes it disconnects and reconnects. It doesn't seem to have this problem when I'm on 3g. I've tried many things, like reconnecting the router and setting up a static ip adress. None of these seem to work, although the static ip adress somewhat prolongs the disconnections. I will get into details in a second. I also had issues with my 3g when I flashed the rom, but I was able to fix that by adding an APN settings. Maybe it has something to do with this.

The reason I am posting this in this section is because I wasn't allowed to post in the rom section so I am sorry if it's in the wrong place. Now I've looked into the other threads when I was making my topic (very handy feature btw), and I've tried replacing 3 files into my system/etc/wifi folder, although only one was present there (wpa_suplicant). Both "Twilan" and "Twilan_Firmware" were absent. Anyway, I added these 3 into the "Wifi" folder and rebooted, but the issue is still present.

Now I have a huge question mark above my head on how to fix this issue. I heard a fabric reset works but I don't want to lose the rom. So does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Before I flashed:

Darky's Rom 10.2 extreme edition

Gingerbread 2.3.5

How I flashed:

Flashed Stock Rom over Darky's Rom.

Flashed Semaphore kernel on the stock rom.

From recovery mode, installed GalaxyDroid rom. (I just did the steps that are listed in the thread of the custom rom.)

My 4 reason for getting a Rezound over the Nexus.

1. Better screen

2. Better camera

3. Build Quality (Nexus feels like a toy compared to the Rezound to me)

4. I actually like Sense.
[Droid Eris General] scouter68:
I got my SGN on the 15th. It is soooo much better than the Eris. Of course it is also 2 years newer.

I really love ICS, it is quite a step up from Gingerbread. After using it the manufacturers are going to have to step up their game to compete. I see no reason to use an after market launcher with ICS.
[Droid Eris General] doogald:
Droid 3. I had a Bionic first, but had many problems with data with it. It's a common problem with all of the LTE phones at the moment, so I decided to get the best 3G phone that I could get (plus I wanted a world phone), so it was between the D3, the DInc2, and the iPhone 4S.

Got my Galaxy Nexus on launch day, Dec 15th, 3 days before my birthday.

Love, love, love it. Couldn't be happier. Little quirks here and there that could use fixing and a few things I miss from custom ROMs/launchers, but overall absolutely the best phone I have ever had.

Still keeping my Eris around as a music player/alarm clock though. Can't part with it!
[Droid Eris General] dverespey:
Thinking about getting it, but I'm on the fence based on the various reviews.

By the time my thinking is done the next great phone will be announced and then what?
[Droid Eris General] IFLATLINEI:
I went with the Galaxy Nexus. Huge step up for me from the Eris. I like how some of the above posters felt the need to justify their purchase over the Galaxy. Thats fine. Fact is they are all pretty great phones when your stepping up from something like an Eris. I loved my Eris but that hardware was seriously tired.

ICS was the main reason why I splurged. I hated to spend the money but ...Ice Cream Sandwich. Thats all I got to say about that.
[Droid Eris General] bsannes:
Then you pick up the Gnex for cheap and be happy with nice specd phone. Now a days its too hard keeping up with phones.
[Droid Eris General] snortman:
Exactly. Trying to keep up with these new phones is like trying to keep up with video games or computers. As soon as you buy the top model, within a month there's a new hotness. I figure by the time my upgrade is available at the end of March there will be another 5-6 new Verizon phones, and so maybe the Nexus, Razr or Rezound upgrade prices will have dropped more by then.
[Droid Eris General] doogald:
Right. That said, though, there will not be another Nexus device until the next version of Android (whatever "J" will be.) Here's hoping that Verizon continues to sell them in the future.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Adamsaudio:
I've been using this with several different media players over the past few days. When I launch it, it plays the 1st video with no problem. If the 1st video is interrupted or finishes and I move on to a second, it always says the video file cannot be played. I figured out that if I toggle the wifi off and back on again that it will play the next file on a consistent basis.

Does this make any kind of sense as to why this is necessary?

When it's working properly the app is awesome.

Then it will say an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands. Same thing happens for fix permissions.

if there is an app/mod for this please lead me too it :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
Yes, it's called BLN, or Back Light Notifications. It's been around for a long time, actually.

To use it, flash a kernel that supports BLN. Most custom ROMs here have said kernels. Or if you don't want to flash custom ROM, just flash the kernel.

Then, download the BLN app from the market, and enable it from there.

No issues here; ensure developer/USB debugging is turned on and you are using a newer platform tools from Google.

You should be on platform tools Rev 9 or higher.

(If you downloaded the SDK go to the directory in shell/terminal on your mac, cd tools, then run ./android

This will let you do GUI based updates to the tools
