I've been trying to avoid Odin a I'm not very familiar with it I've only used it once or twice but never in my skyrocket but if this problem doesn't stopthat's my last option I believe... I've been hoping it's not hardware but we will see

Odin CWM?

Hi, I'm facing wifi issues as well. I'm a very new android user. I'm running SKY ICS and it was running great until this morning. I have lost wifi. Nothing has changed with my phone to explain this change in behavior.

Behavior:

Wifi is turned off.

I go in to turn it on, it will show the "turning on..." message in settings and will then show checked. Wi-Fi networks will then show "Scanning" and then wi-fi shuts off.

I had Wefi Pro installed and uninstalled it thinking that app may have caused a problem, but the behavior persists.

I have found Darkside and Odin via search, but can't find Odin CWM. Can someone provide a link? Thanks!

I've noticed that my wifi issues are associated with Juice Defender. It works good for a while then starts acting up. I tweek it. It runs better then acts up. Then I reflash and start over. Need something other than Juice Defender. I suppose I could probably do the same power saving actions with Tasker... but it's more work than I feel like doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I use juice defender and never had a problem. Check the wifi settig inside the juice defender profile that's responsible for re trying wifi connection if it fails. That's probably what's set to a high number.

Also, for the OP... Do you have any other wifi devices on your network that behave this way? And do you use juice defender as well?

It was only my phone that acts up my fiancé's phone never has a problem neither do my lap tops but I had found that I could toggle my data, Bluetooth, and GPS on and off a few times and sometimes reboot and wifi would start working again but i'm on a brand new skyrocket now cause I kinda bricked my first one the other day...haven't had a problem with this one yet but I haven't even rooted it yet either so we will see how it goes later on

Why not just have someone you know on tmobile to get the unlock code for you, or just go on a website and pay $10-25
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
+1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kharnage:
You can get it on amazon or eBay for around 470
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
Unless I'm mistaken, the OP is asking where to buy the phone and how much will it cost. An unlock code, whether paid for or through a friend, does nothing without a phone.

To the OP, it really depends on the market in your area. You can search on Craigslist, or EBay. 200-250(used) and 400-500(new) are probably the price ranges you will see.

If you buy from Craigslist, have the seller meet you at a local Tmo store, so you can easily verify if the phone is blacklisted (in case you might ever want to use it on Tmo, prepaid or otherwise).

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Have you installed Sony Ericsson PC suite? There are no dedicated drivers required for recovery. Just the standard USB drivers.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj360:
No just the drivers for normal USB, drivers from google's development for adb and fast boot.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
If you download FlashTool and install it, in the drivers folder it has compilation of all drivers necessary.

Also for the correct fastboot google usb driver, you also have to overwrite the inf file from here: http://dl-developer.sonyericsson.com/customROM/windows/downloadinf.zip

Also they probably prefer questions to be posted in Q&A section.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:

[Kindle Fire General] rebelx:
I just purchased a Kindle Fire and would like it to use it for note taking in class. From what I've read, there doesn't seem to be a way to use a standard external keyboard via micro-USB adapter on stock Fire software.

But what if a complete port of Android was installed on the Fire? Would it then work? If so, which version/process would I need to do to make this possible?

This thread hints at activating bluetooth on the mobo of the Fire to connect to devices in that manner. Has this been successfully done yet?

TIA!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] armageddon72:
Hi, I'm really new to the transformer prime. I think it was NachoRoot I used to root my prime ? I say I think , because I can't remember:-@

Anyway, there was an update today for my prime when I turned it on, so I updated and it worked fine while I was using it. I turned it off and went to work, and now it wont turn on or do anything ?? Is my prime bricked :-( ??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r0ck0:
It it charged? Did you try using the reset button? Reset button is next to the SD card slot and you need to use a small paper clip. Could also try the cold boot. Press the volume down button and power button until you see some text on the screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] armageddon72:
Thank you, Will give all that a try now ;-)

The cold boot worked like a Charm :-D

Why did my prime need that then ? was it anything to do with the Update ? or some thing I may have done ?

And again, Many Thanks for your help and rapid reply ;-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] androholic:
I will start by telling you my Prime is NOT rooted, but I've been rooting, modding, & flashing every phone I've had for the past two years. When you root a device or unlock boot loaders I've always found it best to never update. Which ever rom you are running will add an update usually fairly quickly after new firmware is available. I haven't rooted or unlocked my prime for the reason that Asus is pushing updates out so quickly and I've not seen any Roms that have enticed me enough to void my warranty. I also have been impressed with how clean Asus UI is, & there is no reason for myself to need any more performance for my every day typical use.

I don't want to sound at all like I'm second guessing your intelligence, but if you are new to this, I suggest making a nandroid backup and creating another every 4 weeks or so.

I'm super glad to hear that your Prime was saved! :). My heart sunk when I read your title! Lol

I'm sure I'll be unlocking mine sometime soon:-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
There's no need to worry about losing your root now through OTA's with voodoo rootkeeper in the market, its free. Not updating will just keep you from bugfixes, etc. Sounds like OP prob lost root anyway after applying the update unless he used it

[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
It seems that there are a few carriers out there still having a hard time working with the advancements of Quad-Core devices and though the processors being used (Tegra 3 chips) aren't what we're use too (Snapdragons) there are a few carriers worried about whether or not they will be able to write software right away either.

Story found here for more information and further links:http://www.latimes.com/business/tec...hanks-to-att-4g-lte-20120227,0,6217626.story

Personally my concern is that T-Mobile is picking up the One as well and even though T-Mo doesn't support LTE service this can still put us T-Mo customers at a disadvantage if the devices come to us as Dual-Cores. I've had my MT4G for a while now and though I got it for cheap money it's getting old as any phones life depletes in our community fairly fast considering the amount of flashing we all do, but with this being an option for the carriers including our own this might effect the cost between the Quad and Dual versions.

Well lets see where this puts us in a month or so but for now it looks like I'm buying a new extended-life battery online somewhere till the dust settles.

Example of what it should be.... But with a SD card slot....
[myTouch 4G General] invasion2:
Interesting find :) I too wonder how all of this will turn out. I'd rather get it unlocked with quad. But I'm 14 and don't have that money haha.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Well the concern is that all of these devices were to come solely as Quad Cores and there was a specific price point for it because of that, carriers in the US are known for changing the price point because they can get customers to pay the original price of the Quad Cores for the Dual Cores.

This pushes the price of the Quads up a little hitting our pockets and they realize our community will go after the better of the two, I think HTC should have just forced the carriers hand to work on the quad cores instead of giving them the option of downgrading the hardware.
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Well T-Mobile is moving to LTE...invasion, I feel you pain bro, I wish I had enough money to buy an unlocked quad core but I would rather go to college lol. Anyway, I heard the quad core isn't better than the snapdragons
[myTouch 4G General] :
You're 14?

And I'm in college and don't plan on spending that type of money on a phone ever, I'd much rather buy a tablet, which I will soon be doing. Going for the new Asus tabs as soon as they come out. :cool:
[myTouch 4G General] smooth3d:
Don't be fooled by the number of cores a phones has. The AT&T One X has a next gen S4 Dual-core cpu which is based off the ARM A15 core unlike the Tegra 3 which based on ARM A9 cores. The Qualcomm S4 Dual-core are as fast and in some cases faster then Tegra 3 4+1 cpu's due to the newer chip design. Its not a downgrade by any means.

T-mobile is getting the One S. That particular phone has always been specked with the S4 Dual-core cpu and will be HSPA+ 42 capable.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
How many times will I have to write it... It just means that your average journalist is no less stupid than your average customer, and can't do a basic research. It might be forgivable for customers, some of which are just 14-year-old kids with no understanding of anything, but it's less forgivable for journalists who should at least pretend having a brain.

Here's a comparison between dual-core S4 and quad-core T3 by Anandtech:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5563/qualcomms-snapdragon-s4-krait-vs-nvidias-tegra-3

Looks like Tegra3 will have a hard time even trying to keep up.

And the funniest thing is that One S, if HTC won't cripple it intentionally, will be way more powerful than One X - because it will have both the CPU speed advantage and, with lower resolution, GPU advantage.

Plus, it's VERY old news already.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Its not worth it....
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
My intention of posting this is to show how the market is effected over a network of carriers and manufacturers when product is effected by the investment through marketing and demand, as it's stated in the main post the chips were not going to work with the software planed for them so in turn they changed the device to run a better core (though half of what was originally advertised) to prevent having to re-write the framework.

If the case were specific to the fact that the Tegra chips were going to be the problem then why not pony up for the quad core snapdragons and boost the price for the device as they always have in the past, it's not like they're worried about what their going to charge the consumer as that's never been the case. Personally I would have just waited for a contract deal and weighed my options when it was time, I'm not one to just run out and buy something just because the "Advertised public hype" says it's the best thing since sliced bread I wait to see what happens after the lust settles to get the facts.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
Quad-core Snapdragons were not on the market yet (and you can see that there are no devices with those scheduled to arrive at the time of release for One X/S), thus they couldn't be utilized, making your point void. AFAIK, Qualcomm's competitor to T3 is dual-core S4, and this is what the device manufacturers will be choosing from, until the quad-core phone-oriented S4 will arrive. The current 8064 is not suggested for LTE phone configuration - read this article, it'll help to understand, why:

http://gigaom.com/mobile/qualcomm-no-quad-core-phones-at-mwc-but-well-have-something-better/

The carriers had their choice, and chose what they thought would suit them the best, considering the time-to-market, the potential performance/battery life differences etc. That some journalist thinks their choice was wrong - doesn't necessarily mean that it is.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Obviously there's a miss communication on how marketing works here, even though they may not have had the option previously doesn't mean they don't have it now. Point is valid. Now that I think of it the Snapdragons have been around for the minimum of a year and the Tegra have been used for twice that and if you read the what you posted it doesn't say the tegra cant do it but it states that it would do it poorly draining battery. I agree with you on that but your missing my point entirely which is with the options they have their going to use other reasons to charge the consumer for over looked issues they can and have the ability to change now.

And another thing though it seems to be old news too you others still have yet to see it, this is why people don't post anything they read anymore because some people have no problem trying to shoot down anything posted before a discussion actually produces anything constructive.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
Either I don't understand what you're talking about, or you don't understand how the market works - and I'm leaning for the 2nd option. For marketing to have something to show off and plan on, you have to have the actual HW (phone, that is) in the final readiness stage, which means that the HW has been developed for at least 1/2 year ahead of that time. 1 year from CPU manufacturing to phone sales is very good, 9 months is INCREDIBLY OUTSTANDING. Having the CPU ready at point X in time doesn't mean it can be used at that point - it means it can be used at the very least 9 months from that point. There are NO other phones and NOTHING to choose from 9 months ago - but the 2 choices you see now. The only other choice would be to skip international phone launch and wait until either T3+LTE modem combo of some kind is made functional (which could be already done, but we're talking 9 months time ahead, yes?), or to wait until Qualcomm prepares its quad-core for phones (which could also be already done, but again, 9 months ago it wasn't). So, let's see, what would you choose - participate in worldwide launch and use an equally powerful (if not even more powerful) version of the phone sporting LTE support to boot, which nobody else gets, or skip the launch. Oh well, let me think, a very hard choice, is it.

What also causes me to doubt you know what you're talking about, is the fact that Snapdragon-based phones have been around Android since Jan 2010 (Nexus One), and Tegra chipset saw first wide use only in its 2nd version, in Jan 2011 (Optimus 2X), a year later, and a couple more months till it was officially available in US. So it's actually 2 years of VERY widespread use for Snapdragon vs 1 year of spotty use (more tablets than phones - barely 2 phones or so, Atrix and Optimux 2X) for Tegra 2. Just the opposite of what you wrote.

For having smart discussions, there is a small prerequisite - both sides should know what they're talking about quite well. On this board, such a situation is rarely encountered. So sometimes it's better that people don't just run here posting everything they saw somewhere on the internet - especially if it's a 2nd-grade non-professional article in "business" section of some newspaper, and not a professional analysis article on one of the dedicated HW and Android-related sites.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Wow how's that high perception of yourself. Im actually surprised how easy it is for you to judge a top paid news publicist. I'll just leave the rest for you to continue your rant on how well educated you are and how well business does for you.

I'm not some kid with nothing better to do than sit around and rant, I saw the post which I placed as a reason to see what people thought, it shows the type of people that come on line though.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
"Top paid publicist" is paid to make news items, not objective analysis. Objective analysis mostly doesn't interest people, it doesn't play with their emotions (which is usually a prerequisite for creating interest). To make interesting news, you need to forcibly inflate just about any issue you're writing about, in such way that would steer people's emotions. This is exactly what you're seeing in the newspaper.

And yes, being a "top paid engineer" that happens to work in this industry, makes you kinda judgmental. I understand that you don't have valid arguments left. OK then.
