No app, just use WiFi instead of 3G. Yes, it uses a lot less battery (assuming you are connected, being disconnected and scanning constantly uses a lot more battery), and it lightens the load on their network.

Hi,

However, I've now missing GTalk and I can't seem to find it in the Play Store or an obvious/easy way to get it back. Suggestions?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynd4:
I rooted my kindle fire with breakdroid last weekend. Today, it randomly shut down, restarted with the yellow triangle, showed an android logo and then went to a white triangle with an orange exclamation point. When I tap the screen a return button and an up arrow appear but nothing happens when they are tapped. I looked for a few forums and followed their instructions (restoring from backup, restoring device, - all done with clockworkmod) but to no avail.

Thanks for any help
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backspacepc:
Your fire tried to update. What you need to do is boot into recovery and either flash a custom rom, or if you're after a stock look and still want a custom rom, there's a Modaco rom in the dev section. Or you can flash the actual update via cwm but you would lose root and have to re root.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynd4:
So just to clarify,

I can go to recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" for a custom ROM or select apply /sdcard/update.zip for the Amazon stock update? I know the stock update will unroot etc. which also means uninstalling recovery (?) but I can re-root after it completes right?

Thanks for your help;)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
Have been using TWRP instead of CWM I would recommend that recovery.

About Rom: I strongly recommend you make the switch to CM7 Barebone or another stable CM roms. They all run very fast and smooth and can run all games and no problem with google play.

Or if you are still like the look of stock rom then try Modaco as suggested above. It also has roots already.

As for installing TWRP and other support for kindle fire I found this website extremely helpful. http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/29/how-to-install-twrp-2-0-recovery-on-kindle-fire-video/

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marf3:
Hi, i recently did this. My battery was charging very slowly over USB. Then i executed the "reset battery stats" option in cwm. But i think this one did not work the way i thought it should work.

Another problem is that the Back of my SGS is gettin really hot. Over 100° F /40° C at the spot, where you find the mSDHC slot.

Cant find Infos, only advices to do NOT flash with low battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sknight13602:
Your battery is over charging just charge to a 100% or then unplug and wipe the battery stats is a folder that keeps files to help the device keep from over charging and when you wiped it while pluged in it probably got a bad reading or something. Easy fix but can be dangerous. This is my basic understanding I am no "android architect" or a linux major.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jahoby:
I have a SGSII which went for a little swim a few weeks back. It fell into a sink full of water but could have only been in there for a second. Phone was working when I pulled it out and I swiftly pulled out the battery and set about drying it.

The phone eventually started up but these are my problems

The phone massively overheats as soon as you put the battery in. It doesnt even have to be switched on. Part of the motherboard is seriously overheating. If you look at the back of the phone, on the right hand side, about 2 thirds of the way down, this seems to be where the heat is coming from. I have to pull the battery after about a minute in fear of meltdown.

I charged the battery in a friend's phone and when I tried switching on, it fires up fine (apart from the same overheat problem) but it tells me to connect the battery charger and shows the battery as being almost drained when I know this is not the case. Everything seems to be there such as messages and all media.

The clock says its 0:00 and the date is 1 January. Im not sure whether this is because the battery has been out for so long or because it's fried.

I've already tried to send off to samsung but they just sent it back since it was liquid damaged. I'd rather spend a bit of money getting it fixed rather than flog it on ebay.

However, I was wondering whether anyone had any thoughts of suggestions as to what might be causing the overheat and whether it is worth trying to get repaired.

Thanks for your thoughts and assistance in advance.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tybalt:
The OP is referring to Wifi Protected Setup. Yes i think it was removed.

While it certainly made wifi security easy, it is my suggestion not to use WPS as out was cracked back around December.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedorda:
No it was answered in the first reply. At least the way he worded his question.

My reply was pointing out the same fact as the other poster. The fact that WPS is completely unsecured since Dec. So most people don't even try to use it hence why its not talked/cared about much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbiriguda:
You should setup your wireless networking gear (home router and all wifi devices) to use WPA2-PSK and a strong passphrase. When everything else is in place, you can input the same passphrase on the wifi setup dialog that shows up when you select your home network in the TF101 WiFi preferences screen.

As stated by other posters, WPS is utterly insecure and it should never

ever

be relied upon for proper WiFi security.

That said, I don't recall WPS ever being supported on the TF101 even under Honeycomb (I could be mistaken, though, since my WiFi network equipment doesn't support it).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJilka89:
I happened to be goofing off with my WiFi the other day and I saw that when you go to Settings -> WiFi -> Advanced (in the top right corner) there is in fact an option to use WPS on the tablet with ICS. Find your router name, tap on it, then a little check box with show advanced options. Select WPS and choose button. Then hit the button on the router. Worked for me just fine.

May I ask why WPS is so insecure? My router has a WPA2 protected SSID, but I used wps to setup my wireless printer. It seems to only be" insecure" when it's enabled and looking for a device, which is timed to be on for no more than 2 minutes. I don't think vultures are waiting for those two minutes to connect to your router. Or is there another danger?

Sent from my HP Touchpad running ICS :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papo:
this is like kindergarten chit-chat. totaly lame thread.

WPS is NOT a replacement of WPA it's not a security feature at all!

if you have WPS on ON ROUTER you still need to choose open/wep/wpa/wpa2

as the name could suggest, S stands for Setup and that's what it is. WPS will connect you without need to search for the network in the list of available networks, or even knowing the network name and if there is password, it will fill it in for you. it's an easy setup where you don't need to know password or the name of the wifi network you are connecting to.

another thing. you can't talk about vulnerability in reference to the wifi client - phone. it's the router which is vulnerable. If your car has weak remote central locking, throwing away your remote key transmitter will not make it much safer.

saying ICS doesn't have WPS because it's hackable is wrong. if a coffee place desides to use WPS their net is hackable, it's their concern. I still want to be able to use it as this safety issue doesn't affect me as a wifi client.

and thought ICS has this complicated way to get to the WPS, it's missing the point of WPS as you need to know which wifi you are connecting to, and click many times to get to the option. not easy setup at all. and the indicator of WPS availability is missing too. If I came to a coffee place and saw the icon I told them to keep their password and push the button instead. now I don't know if they have WPS.

So there is still an issue.

But maybe the ICS phone is listening for WPS all the time I didn't test this.

EP: your question is in place.

if it's your network, make sure you update router to latest firmware, as this vulnerability has been already addressed in most of the routers. Or keep it OFF until they'll make update to it.

it is NOT only those two minutes after you push the WPS button, but it's hackable all the time.

WPS can be used different ways, you can enter pin of client to be allowed in into router, or pin of router into client, or just push the button and no pin at all.

so the pin works all the time, that would still be fine, but a certain template was found in those pins, which brought the possible number of choices low enough to use brutal force attack to get the correct pin. that's the safety issue. nothing to do with the phone.
