[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
if you had this happening, it meant the wpa_supplicant you'd tried wasn't compatible with your device. Always backup wpa_supplicant before replacing in in case the new one doesn't work.

Try this wpa_supplicant, it works with my 5.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
I had the same problem with Ad-hoc networks using windows7 (ie obtaining ip address loop) - I gave up in the end, but found this : Windows 7 as a WAP. It does the same thing, only it's not an ad-hoc network - you can also share wifi internet through the same wifi adapter...it works great for me!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Wiz7:
I did backup. But, even after putting the original wpa_supplicant back in, wi-fi was still broken. So, the only way for me to fix it was to reinstall the firmware.

Thanks. I've been playing with that wpa_supplicant for a while now. However, it did not solve the problem.

It detects the ad-hoc network that I set up on my laptop, but I'm having a hard time trying to connect to it. So far, I've only been able to connect twice. What I need to do in order to connect successfully is to keep enabling and disabling wi-fi. Each time I enable it, it will automatically attempt to connect to the ad-hoc network (because it remembers the info). Most of the time, it will say "Connected", but it actually isn't connected. It only succeeds like once every 50 attempts. And even if it succeeds, it will disconnect automatically after like 10 seconds. At least it gave me enough time to test the internet connectivity, which worked fine during those few seconds. Changing the encryption type from WEP to WPA only made things worse.

That seems like a great idea. However, my laptop's wireless adapter (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG) does not support that functionality. An adapter with Windows 7 certified drivers is required. I also tried to use Connectify, but it also does not support this adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
that's very strange. This wpa_supplicant works on my GP 5.0 very well. It detects my WEP ad-hoc network and connects to it just fine and keeps connection until i disconnect. Sometimes it won't connect right away, in which case i just turn wi-fi off and then on again and then it finds the connection, connects and then everything's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
Agghh that's a shame.... you could try buying a wifi dongle.. they're not all that expensive...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Wiz7:
After playing a bit with the network adapter settings on the laptop, I am now able to connect successfully to the ad-hoc network as soon as I enable wi-fi. What I did was changing the property "Ad Hoc Channel 802.11b/g" to 1 (it was 11 before). Setting this property to anything other than 1 makes it not be able to connect.

There is still the issue of automatically disconnecting after a while (which can vary from seconds to minutes), but it doesn't happen very often, and I'm usually able to stay connected for a long time. Playing with the network adapter properties didn't seem to help in this regard. Anyway, I guess that the problem is solved. :)

It should be noted that I've never had to change the network adapter settings for any anything else before. I've always been able to connect to other computers via an ad-hoc network. I also used to be able to connect with my SGP 5.0 when I had a different ROM installed. The looping problem that I had before (see my early posts in this thread) could probably be solved also by changing that property in the adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
How did you get to that property? I can't find anything similar on mine...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Wiz7:
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings -> Right-click on the wireless adapter -> Properties -> Configure... -> Advanced.

The properties for the network adapter are listed there, and you should be able to change them.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
Hmmm yes, I looked there but unfortunately there is no option to change or configure the channel at all! :(

I suppose it's driver dependent.

[Off-topic] jaszek:
Given the fact that I work at a computer repair shop, if a customer were to email me something along the lines of what you wanted, I would laugh. I wouldn't be surprised if the tech support people didn't care about what you had to write. they just had to write back to you because it's their job. I do not have any screenshots like that because I have better things to do than chatting with tech support about stupid **** like this. However, if I notice that te tech is "not so smart" while talking to them, I overwhelm them with technical details, until they are forced to connect me to the next level of tech support, where the people on the other side of the phone seem to be a bit smarter. I feel like you didn't troll the techs since you said what you wanted, they told you that they don't support that and explained that it voids your warranty, and then you thanked them. To them, you were seen as an asshole, and not as a troll. Thank you, good night, did I bump the drunk thread yet?

I complained to HTC the other day that they don't make decent sub 4" phones any more. They told me i should buy something called the 'HTC Rhyme', which is Purple!

PURPLE FFS!!

I'm offended!

I also complained to City Link about the asshole courier driver i keep encountering on my drive to work. The guy thinks he's Ayrton Senna whilst clearly being as skilled in driving a vehicle as Muffin The Mule! The three apologetic emails that i received back from the company brought a great deal of satisfaction to my week though.

I hope his need for racing his POS van was worth more to him than having a job!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] notown775:
I just received my 64gb prime. And it has honeycomb.. and I was wondering should I update it the ladtest .13 ics..

!!iisensation4geezyii!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lamboboy732:
No. You should probably update to the latest .14 ICS, since that is the newest version.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] edster00:
I'd take all the updates in whatever order they come, some say you need to take them in order to avoid problems with updates. The OTA that came today has been best for me so far! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] notown775:
Yeah I just rooted HC and updated to .13 and restored root.. and then did the same to .14

!!iisensation4geezyii!!
[Atrix 4G General] Casper34:
Ok, so I had to get a new phone after a failed OTA update, that the ATT Service Center knew nothing about.... yes the 4.5.141 update. I had Alien #4 on my phone before and I am looking for something else, just to try (yes i was rooted, ROMed, and unlocked and they just handed me a new phone). I didnt have any issues with Alien, just want to try something different. I would like to install the CM7, but I use my fingerprint scanner. I searched the main CM7 thread to see if it has been fixed and there were no returns. So, if CM7 has a working fingerprint scanner, i would install that... otherwise, what would you suggest?

Currently running: android ver 2.3.4 system version 4.5.91 baseband N_01.77.30P Kernel 2.6.32.9

I plan on rooting and ROMing this weekend!
[Atrix 4G General] MrPerson:
I'm not super up-to-date with what all the ROMs have, but I don't think very many have the finger print scanner working, so if that's important to you stick with Alien. Otherwise, I'm currently on Jokersax's ICS CM9 and loving it! Its looking great and is getting better updates almost daily. Definitely something to look at, if you interested in ICS at least. MIUI also finally got official support and is getting weekly updates, so that's something to look in to a bit too.

Good luck with whatever you choose, there really is no wrong choice when it comes to the awesome developers in these forums!
[Atrix 4G General] Atr1x:
CM7 Weekly has Fingerprint

There's also Neutrino based off of the weekly and also has it.

I recommend using neutrino as it has a bunch of performance mods.

There's also acerbix CM9 FP builds but I don't think they're finished yet.
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
All the ROMS except CM9 and CM7 nightly have FP unlock working. I'm using it on CM7 weekly.
[Atrix 4G General] Casper34:
Ok I should have also said to add links, lol. I did notice an issue with the Alien that i did not think was an issue.... its slow to boot. The stock phone boots in i would say 30-45 seconds, Alien would boot 90-120. ....So that being said, I wish for a ROM to have a faster boot then the Alien.
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
CM7 or a ROM based off CM7 (e.g., Neutrino). Faster than stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] pappy76:
I'm currently stock (hboot 1.5,, software# 2.08.651.2,,prl version 21083). I am about to root as soon as I'm 100% sure of the procedure from start to finish. My question is, should i take any OTA updates before I root?,,,,,,,I'm fully aware of the risk in doing this, coming from the evo4g( really don't want to be stuck stock for months, while everyone else is flashing away),,,,I'm a firm believer of searching, before asking, but if there's a better software version to gain root from, I want to be running it.
[HTC EVO 3D] pappy76:
I do realize that starting out with this version of software means I'm stuck with hboot 1.5,,just couldn't find any posts referencing later OTA software versions possibly being better or worse to root from
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Nope, it matters not what software version you're on. Only hboot, and in you're case, like me, you're screwed either way :'(
[HTC EVO 3D] pappy76:
I guess I figured as much, thanks,,,I'm a little confused about current root methods for hboot 1.5,,,I see there's fastboot/copynpaste/htc unlock(not too scary),,,install SU,,,something, something can't unlock boot partition(no kernals),,,possibly fastboot install recovery in order to be able to do so. I also read in another thread, there are two ways. The HTC way and a better XDA way, of rooting,,,I'm sold on a better XDA way,,,any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
The only way to root hboot 1.5 is to use the htcdev unlock.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Take the OTA (2.17.651.5) then unlock with htc method.

If you unlock now and use cstom recovery, you will have to flash stock recovery in order to update to (2.17.651.5) latest OTA.

And it will also break root i think. so better update first then unlock then root.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stogrady:
Hi There,

I'm using the Sixaxis app to connect four PS3 controllers. I am using SuperGNES for SNES emulation.

Wondered if anyone had any success configuring and using four PS3 controllers (or Wii remotes) to play games like Super Bomberman or NHL 94?

If so how do you configure four controllers? I can only see options for two.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

- Sean
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
I can't help you.. but..

Wii-motes? :O Please give more info.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stogrady:
Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm using a Wifi Motorola Xoom, running ICS and attempting to use any SNES emulator in conjunction with four Playstation 3 controllers. The controllers themselves are easily recognized via Bluetooth by the SixAxis Controller app, but I cannot seem to find an emulator for Android that supports more than two of them.

While I was able to get four Nintendo Wii Wiimotes recognized and configured via Snes9x EX, I'd really prefer to get four Playstation 3 controllers working.

Just wondered if anyone had ever attempted this and found success.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
Wait, I think I found your problem. IIRC, SNES had a max of 2 controller ports. Even PC emulators can't run in 3-4+ player mode.

N64 has 4 players.

But are you saying 4-players works fine with the wiimotes..?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stogrady:
Hey StickMan,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Actually the SNES released a peripheral called the "Multitap" which allowed four player gameplay with certain games. Among them was NHL 94.

I was actually successful in getting four players to work with an emulator called

Snes9x EX which allows you to "Enable Multitap".

I was then able to connect and configure four Wiimote controllers and play with four players.

Snes9x EX has native support for Wiimote controllers, but I could not seem to connect or configure PS3 controllers.

Would love to be able to get those working!

[Samsung Focus S] CaixaDagua:
Hello,

I recently bought from AT&T a Samsung Focus S and it came with 7720 OS.

Here is the problems on 7720:

-It doesn't send Images/Photos on Messages (sms/mms)

-It gives a lot of SYSTEM BUSY messages when i try to call someone.

-Sometimes it doesn't send messages.

-I receive SMS 1-2-3 hours LATER when someone send it to me. (it make me crazy...)

Well, i decided to update it manualy to 7740 and 8107.. When i got into the 8107 it stoped calling, when i try to call it closes the app.

I Rolled it Back to 7740 and i got no Samsung Area in the Marketplace...

[Q] Is there anyway to get the STOCK room 7720?

[Q] When AT&T launches the 8107 Update, will I be able to get it? (if it happens...)

[Q] Is this issues normal? Are them related to OS or to HW problem?

[Q] Does it have a way to solve it?

Thanks a lot Friends

I used the Original Roms From Microsoft from this link:

[Samsung Focus S] zarn1w00p:
Hi,

That Link does not work. I would love to flash my Focus S as I have it here in the UK and although unlocked, the device still thinks it's an AT&T Wireless device. So an clean carrier free ROM would be a breath of fresh air for me.

Other than this, everything works, even 4G (I'm on O2 they are the only carrier currenly offering 4G in the UK)
[Samsung Focus S] CaixaDagua:
Yeah, for me too buddy.

I'm having a lot of data issues and other things with my phone, like no MMS...

Sometimes i didn't receive a call and can't send messages ...

I'm here, just preying for someone to solve this issues...

The link i posted has only a normal update room from microsoft (i guess) it didn't remove carrier or something like this.

Anyway, hope things get better with this fones, they are really good but have a lot of restrictions...
[Samsung Focus S] metie:
I have different problem with my Focus.

First it was on stock Window 7 :

Touchscreen sometimes not working, it just stuck where ever area I touch it would not respond

The system lag, when I tried to swap or move between apps it will just freeze

Data connection very often not working, can not load any webpage or sync my email.

===

I thought update to 7.5 would fix those issue, so I plug it to Zune and updated to 7.10.7720

The issues still there...the only way I can fix the issues is to put it into sleep mode (push the power button and push it again) but this is just a temporary fix.

I love this phone but I can't stand it when it freeze alot....It feels like I want to throw it to the wall.....Aaaarrgghhhh.......

Wondering if a clean format and install fresh OS will fix the issues forever?

[Samsung Focus S] smcw:
I believe you should be in the Samsung Focus forum, this is the forum for the "Focus S" which is a different model.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

This is exactly the problem I have! I'm in Canada and I have an unlocked Focus S and I love it. BUT, since it thinks it's an AT&T phone it's always telling me things like "CONNECTION NOT SHARED: To enable tethering on this device, go to [att site] or dial 611" so now I can't even use tethering, even though my carrier (Telus) includes it in my plan.

Any solutions?
[Samsung Focus S] armodons:
Samsung Focus S is an AT&T phone so there's not really a "carrier-free" version. However, try following these instructions here from MrBurrrns to debrand your phone. That should set it to a generic carrier and your phone will even be interop unlocked now from WindowBreak. I'm not sure if your wifi tethering will work though. Please report back!

This application will allow you to change the resolution of the mirroring mode.

To use it, you'll have to re-sign it with the same signature as the system, if you successfuly installed the mirroring mode you'll find a way since the problem is the same.

You'll also need to change the package MirrorService.apk because I changed an option in it to allow the use of the function that will change the resolution for all kind of android builds (eng, user, userdebug).

Topic about the HDMI Landscape Mirroring mod : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348692

It's a really simple software, it just requires to activate the mirroring mod to be able to change the resolution, you'll keep it to until the next change or reboot.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
Very cool.

Works good on NottachTrix. OK to add to the next release?

One question, are the resolutions labeled correctly in the chooser? When I choose 1920 x 1080 60hz it defaults to 800 x 600. But when I choose 1920 x 1080 50hz it applies 1920 x 1080 60z. I know my monitor doesn't do 1920 x 1080 50hz so something seems weird.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sotodefonk:
I installed the app and replaced the mirrorservice.apk but your mirrorservice file broke my mirror :S

I tested only with the app itself and it changed the resolution, but it just displayed an static image of the app and never changed.

Also, when selecting 1080p, stayed in 720p, but selected 1280x1024 and changed to 1080p.

How can I fix the mirrorservice.apk? What did you change ? maybe I can edit my apk
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nottach:
The signature of MirrorService.apk needs to match your systems sig or else it won't work properly.

I first installed his resolution app and tried it out with my regular mirrorservice and it didn't work.

Since my rom is already totally resigned I just resigned his mirrorservice.apk and pushed it and then it worked properly. (except for the res labels)

depending on what rom youre using you can try resigning his mirrorservice and pushing it to see if that helps. it should work if youre using one of my roms, not sure about cm7 roms though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sotodefonk:
Actually, pushed back the original mirrorservice, and it kind of works, but like you said, the resolutions are not correclty labeled... 1024x768 is 1080p on mine, but it works after a restart :P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
how to resign?

I decided to install signapktic to resign the app, but had a couple of questions. You say to sign using signature of my system. That is not the testkey, correct? So how would I obtain the signature of my system? Also, do I sign both apps or just the mirrorresolution.apk?

I also feel like I'm completely missing the point of signatures on apks, but I'll figure it out in due time.
