[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleegrony:
Hi,

Laptops x3 and other peoples phones can get onto WiFi ok, both at work and at home, my Note Will connect ok to the BTFON / BTOpenzone (off of the same routers) with no problems again both at work and at home. We have changed nothing with the routers (BTHome hub 2 and BTBusiness hub at work).

Can you advise what to check with the router as all seems to be in order for all other WiFi devices, it's just my Note that is having a fit and wont connect?:confused:

Many Thanks

S

Edit; dr.ketan

Hi, Re mac protection, the routers auto set up and I am unaware how to check re mac protection. I cant understand why has my Note decided to stop connecting out of the blue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hk300:
I have similar issues.

I have setup a WIFI hotspot and all my non-Android devices can login without any issues (Notebooks x2, iphone3, iphone4, ipad), however my Note and my Blade (all running 2.3.6) and an Acer A500 Tablet (running Android 3.1) cannot connect.

The android devices see the hotspot and will attempt to get an IP, but most of the time will not succeed.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ledzep88:
I'm having the same problem with the "stuck at obtaning IP address" problem.

Just got my Note 2 weeks ago and am still not able to connect to the internet using wifi.

I can't connect to my home wifi nor starbucks nor any other public wifi. When i use static address, i was able to connect to my home wifi BUT could not use the internet. I really do not know what to do...PLEASE HELP!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falum:
I too have experienced this. Running stock 2.3.6 + root. happened with lots of different routers. Usually solved with power cycling router & note wifi. Very annoying.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
I think (personally), it has nothing to do with the Note at all, BUT on most samsung smartphones...

I read somewhere that Sammy's phones have a weak side in detecting and connecting to any wifi device...

I personally tested this also with my Note, side by side with my friend's Nokia, a Blackberry and a Galaxy Nexus as well.. both Samsung phones stucked at "Obtaining IP address..." for some time, while the two phones (Nokia and the blackberry) connected thru wifi with ease... no problems at all..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
I have same problem periodically at my sister's house, especially when a lot of other mobile devices using the router. If you google the issue there are many with same problem.

Simplest way to solve it for me has been to unplug & then plug the router back in. Rather annoying.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dx.varun:
I had same prob with my galaxy tab... Forgetting a network won't help..

Nor there is fault of router...

I would like to replace the stock launcher with ADW launcher in the ROM I am cooking up.

Is this possible?

Also:

Does anyone know of a way to replace the default theme of the adw launcher apk?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SpaceCaker:
lol just place it in it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ColdBlog:
I realize I can do that, but I want a seamless experience. I want it to default to adw launcher with a theme and completely bypass the standard launcher.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spex:
then delete adw launcher
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ColdBlog:
I think you mean delete the default launcher, but I tried that and the ROM refused for boot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Un1c0de:
The launcher shouldn't cause boot issues. Does it boot with the stock launcher?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ColdBlog:
Yes, it boots fine when the stock launcher is there. LGLauncher.apk

But when I remove it and put ADW Launcher in its place it doesn't get past the boot animation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sev7en:
Hi to everyone,

I was looking exactly for that... but as far as I (don't) read the question is still open. Can anyone give it a point?

Thank you and have a nice Sunday,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndDiSa:
Be sure that ADWLauncher is compiled for the 'matching' Android version. Btw. by using logcat while booting up your phone you would have seen immediately the kind of error ...
[Defy Accessories] Epsylon3:
Ok, today ive made some electronics to test different configurations of usb cables.

I can now confirm how to make a factory usb cable which allow to boot the Defy (and the Atrix too) without battery inside.

My little circuitry look like complicated because it was made to test different configurations...

You can buy these cheap micro usb connectors on ebay...

Also this cable put the Defy in a working "eth" mode, i still don't know exactly why... i was expecting a serial mode.

[Defy Accessories] mr.han:
"eth" ? Like at Linux Ethernet devices ? In Windows Moto adds to device manager like another ethernet device or something ? Mayby there is way to flash the phone somehow via ethernet ? or enter it to fastboot
[Defy Accessories] Epsylon3:
no, this mode is set on android by usbd, like moto portal...

but unlike the normal mode, this interface is not multiplexed... on windows it also detect the phone as a USB Modem... weird
[Defy Accessories] mr.han:
Mayby now You can enter to fastboot and we don't know about it xD How about simply reboot phone from adb with "reboot bootloader" and try ? I know this is stupid but You can try ;)

Tests with factory cable

Some results from playing with the cable on defy+:

In bootloader mode, RSDlite output changes to "S Flash OMAP3630h". USB device ID stays the same, it is always 0x4280 no matter the cable.

No apparent change in recovery.

After boot with the factory cable, USB device ID in the running system changes to 0x41d4 and USB does not seem to work from within Android - but I did not check in detail. Linux system sees device as Epsylon3 showed.

This creats a ttyUSB0. It might need a different driver (there was something about usb serial vs usb acm). No output or response on quick check.

[Defy Accessories] Le_Poilu:
Hi

This is nice.

Little question: Can we expect using this for plugging in the device even with a battery inside, so we can have the Defy "in charge" without using the battery (sort of bypass).

My concerne is about the overheat of the battery when you use the phone on charge, in example: car mode with navigation. When battery temperature is over 42°C it stop charging, which can append quickly.. then your Defy will loss charge even if it's plugged.
[Defy Accessories] marhensa:
+1 for this question..

[Defy Accessories] eiyee:
no charging

Hi,

This from a quick test:

When I connect the factory cable to running phone with battery inside (87% charged), white LED lights up, but no charging indicator in Android.

I left the phone in this state for about 10 minutes, then played some games for a little while and battery percentage stayed at 87%.

So maybe the answer is yes :) It can power the defy bypassing the battery but does not seem to charge the battery.

But I would watch the phone carefully! I'm not sure it is safe for the battery. (Thinking maybe it does get some power even if no charge shown and direct +5v from USB would be too much for it.)
[Defy Accessories] Le_Poilu:
Good if it doesn't charge the battery :-)

This mean that it completely bypass it, and only power the phone.

So the phone is powered independently of the battery, this one will not overheat... and it I'll allow to use the defy on a long run for car navigation without discharge when the battery overheat.
[Defy Accessories] hackergnome:
there are reports tgat using this with battery kill the battery...
[Defy Accessories] eiyee:
Hi nogoodusername,

That would be good to know!!

Could you link to the reports?

I can try to measure if there is power on the battery connectors. I noticed no degradation but only tried for some tens of minutes.
[Defy Accessories] hackergnome:
I read it on Raze Forum.... wait ill see if can give u the link...
[Defy Accessories] eiyee:
I did a few measurements today.

With factory cable and no battery:

Between v- and v+ there is 0.1v

Between v- and a there is 2.76v

Between v- and b there is 2.76v

Between a and v+ there is -2.6v

Between b and v+ there is -2.6v

On the battery (not inserted in the phone), I measure

Between v- and v+ there is 3.95v

Between v- and a there is 0v

Between v- and b there is 0v

Between a and v+ there is 3.95v

Between b and v+ there is 3.33v

I am no electrical engineer, so not confident to interpret the results. Basically v- and v+ seem ok to me, but I have no clue about the function of pins I called "a" and "b" above, and they have opposite voltages against v+ which is might be bad.

Anyone here who knows what this means for battery safety?
[Defy Accessories] 7_michel:
Measurements of the battrey contacts on the phone side are meaning less without any battery connected, because the phone is not active.

I made similar analysis on my HTC desire battery, results are given here: http://78michel.unblog.fr/htc-desire-battery-shutdown-analysis/

The two extra contacts ( a and b on your photo) are normally a connexion to a temperature sensistive component to record battrery internal temperature , and a connexion to the data bus of the IC located in the battery package
[Defy Accessories] DJ_Synergy:
i just wonder if and how we can use the "eth"-mode of this cable ...

this enters the phone into a serial mode with USB to Serial ??? can we use it to get some terminal or even flash the phone / bootloader ??? or is this just a modem connection for AT-Commands ???
[Defy Accessories] m11kkaa:
Is it possible, that original Moto Factory-Cables have an resistor between +5V and defy? I'm asking this because the defy gets a little bit hot when using an self-made cable.

Maybe that's just because USB has 5V and battery normally 3.3V.
[Defy Accessories] hackergnome:
Do not keep battery in when using factory cable... Harmful for Defy also no stock does not have any resistor... ive torn apart the cable covers also the usb cover/case
[Defy Accessories] Largo LaGrande:
There is no need to use such a self made usb cable for running defy without battery. Simply remove battery while booting, shortly after the blue led turns into red.
[Defy Accessories] TheBirdOfHermes:
Very nice and unique!
[Defy Accessories] hackergnome:
This is used to flash your phone in BL, when you have low battery and BL says "Cannot Program"
[Defy Accessories] zolivenet:
Hello

Sorry for my very bad english :o

Following the famous white LED, the Defy not charging the battery, making it impossible to turn.

Waiting to buy a universal battery charger, so I created a factory cable (thank you for the tutorial), which allows you to turn the Defy even when the battery is exhausted (or even without battery) to receive calls etc ...

It works fine, but ...

But if I remove the battery, the phone goes to airplane mode after a few minutes, and impossible to switch back to normal mode.

Forced to reboot with the battery.

Of course, the battery does not heat up as the factory cable does not charge the battery, but I wonder if it is good to let the phone.

At the same time, I have no choice ... Or there's something toggle or a hostname (except the airplane mode is impossible to disable without battery).

Thank you !!!

Lg revo , marble 2.5 , gingervolt 1.3, and v6 supercharger. When I try to download and app or update one from the market it says insufficient storage. I've checked the internal and the sd card , should be more then enough room. Any suggestions as to what's causing this ?
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
I get that too, with the automatic updates. I just go in and do it manually, and that usually does it.
[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
Try moving some apps to your sd card and see if it helps. The internal storage space is different from the internal app storage.
[LG Revolution] d9n30:
Ok thanks for the ideas , ill try them out and see what helps
[LG Revolution] rocknrolla818:
I would assume that switching the apps as long as they are not something that you have an active widget on to your as card you should be able to do the update then

hello, has been posted in the forum roms and kernels, but has not been posted MD5, peopl developers to post the MD5 to help those who download.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Sheldon, Your post is difficult to understand but from what I gather, you would like developers to post MD5 sums for files. If this correct let me respond by saying that my ROM's have an automatic MD5 sum in the file and the file is zipped. If the zip file is corrupt I would expect CRC errors and you can't flash a file that you can not extract. When you go to flash the file, Odin does an MD5 checksum and you can not flash it if the checksum fails. By zipping the file and including the built in MD5 sum. I am insuring that people are not flashing garbage to their device.

Is that what you are worried about?

[Nook Touch General] MTKnife:
Man, I hope someone can help with this. I booted my Nook Touch into the CWM-based recovery to clear the cache and Dalvik-cache. I cleare cached just fine, then wiped the Dalvik cache, but when I tried to back out of the "Advanced and Debugging" menu, I don't know if I hit the wrong button(s) or hit multiple buttons too quickly or what, but it's frozen on that menu, with "Reboot Recovery" selected. It doesn't respond to anything at this point--I can't even turn the display on and off with the power button. I even tried pulling the SD card out and putting it back in--not sure why that might help, but it was worth a try.

I suppose I could let the battery die, but I'm guessing the power consumption at this point (it's in recovery after all, with nothing whatsoever running) is essentially zero, meaning that draining the battery could take months.

Any ideas?
[Nook Touch General] MTKnife:
Well dang, I just tried the power button again, and the thing rebooted. Let me just cross myself now to ward off the voodoo influences....
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
In fact it's quite the opposite :)

A NST that has not booted Android properly will drain power at a tremendous rate.

If you want to test it for yourself just boot it with Noogie and leave it for 24h .. ;)
[Nook Touch General] MTKnife:
Not that it's relevant anymore, but, as I noted in my original post, which you quoted, the problem was not an incomplete boot, but rather a freeze in the CWM-based recovery. I later had it happen again--evidently you can't back out of the "Advanced" menu (sometimes, at least) without a lock-up.
[HTC Sensation] Makine_31:
Hi guys,

Okay I'm not an expert on these things but I really wanted another view, so i tried a custom ROM. I followed all advices.

First of all i got Revolution and got s-off on my device. Then i put the 3.24 version and put it in the root folder of my sensation. I also got the su-bin and the rom i wanted (Elegancia). I started my phone with volume down and power. And got in the fastboot menu. It asked me if I wanted to update, so I said yes (obviously). But somewhere it went wrong, it said: "CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <power> to reboot. That was crappy, but not near as crappy as figuring out that my phone won't start either. Well it gives me the HTC logo, and then the logo with the slogan, but quickly after it dies, and reboots. This goes on and on, until i pull out the battery. If I start it again in volume down and power. It will go to that boot menu but it will also come with the CID error again...

Anyone advice?????

Makine_31
[HTC Sensation] tommeke19:
Do you have supervis? Try an official RUU, everything to stock
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

As you say...CID incorrect.

The reason you are bootlooping is because you still have the PG58IMG.zip on your sd card.Delete it.

You either need super cid HERE (step # 4 )

Or you can go HERE and go the non-super cid method.

Once you have done either of these steps,you can then flash the ROM...

:)
[HTC Sensation] Makine_31:
Thank you,

I got back in boot menu, made a superCID and flashed the ROM. :)

But now it hangs while booting, I get the HTC-logo and after it the elegancia logo... but that's it. It is all I see and it hangs there... It won't go any further :(.

Anything?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Did you flash the 3.24 firmware(PG58IMG.zip ) first?

If so,you have to delete the PG58IMG.zip from your sd card after it has fully flashed...

:)
[HTC Sensation] Makine_31:
Yep I did that, but apperantly the first time takes a long time, after around 10 minutes staying in the loader it got in. Now it works just fine. And rebooting takes under a minute now. Really glad it works! Thanks a lot!!

Right now am waiting till @taaviu will fix screen issue for NeoV and I will install MIUI rom, but it doesn't seem to be easy for him, so I have to use something and it's stock rom, I like it more than CM7, better dialer and sms app :)

Back to the main point, I do not have much free time, but I wanna make MIUI theme. Not sure if it would be miui based on gingerbread (like my MIUI for CM7) or ics (miuiv4), but I know it will take a while, so I think that with your help we could make this theme faster.

I look for people that have some knowledge (I do not want to explain I wanna discuss about ideas) and they already made few themes, I wanna take care of framework and systemui, someone else could help with dialer, contacts, sms and maybe help with frame.

It would be open source and there would be one condition: I will share files to work with (files that has been cut off from SE generic frame)

I know there is not many stock rom users, but it's worth to try :)
