[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xenon2000:
So I have this issue too with my SGH-T989 GS2. I have only had it about 1 month. It came with ICS 4.0.3 I think and I haven't rooted it or changed the ROM or anything. It's my wife's phone and I have the SGH-T999 GS3, also stock 4.0.4, no root, no changes, etc. That connects fine on any PC I have.

The GS2 was connecting fine when I first got it. But it's been a while since connecting it to the PC and now it just shows up as an "Unknown" device labeled "Android" on any of my Windows 7 x64 PCs. But it used to work fine.

I hate to start my own thread where that are at least 10+ threads on this exact same issue and I have tried everything short of wiping the phone with a factory reset. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung drivers. I have tried a Windows 7 PC that I have never connected to before. Different cables. Removing the battery. It doesn't have a microSD card for me to remove. All kinds of things suggested and none make any difference.

I haven't wiped as I will need to back up at least the photos before I do. And also another person with this issue said they did the wipe/factory reset and still had the issue.

So I am thinking it's a PC issue. But then I think it's a Windows update issue if it's a PC issue since it's the same issue on all my up-to-date Windows 7 PCs. And there have been several Windows 7 updates since I last connected to the PCs.

This is just one of the many threads I found on the issue, but after spending yesterday and today on so many, I am posting here as it's the last one I am reading.

Anything else I can try that wasn't in all those other threads? I think I covered most of the suggestions in this post. Probably not all of them as I have read and tried so many things.

Its it an OEM cord that your using? Test everything before factory resetting. It could be the ROM that your using. Check debug settings. I'd its not checked it won't be recognized. Just giving you some ideas to check into before the dreaded Odin process

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xenon2000:
Yup, I have tried the SG2 and SG3 cords as well as my HP Touchpad's micro USB. All work with the SG3 but not with my SG2, and they used to.

The rom as I have said, is the stock ROM that came with the phone. I haven't touched the phone in any way since owning in for the past month. Not rooted or touched in any way. I have tried USB debugging mode on and off. Same results. I have no plans to use Odin. I will try a factory wipe soon.

K, so I did a factory reset, without formatting the USB storage. So even though I did backup the photos, they are still there. And now the phone connects to the PC like it did before. Now to get it restored from the cloud and setup the way it was before and hopefully it still works.

Just odd since the phone is/was not rooted or custom in any way.

Now that it is working again, I connected to Kies to check on a firmware update and sure enough 4.0.4 is available, so I upgraded to that. So far the lock/unlock seems much more snappy / responsive compared to 4.0.3. Not sure what else changed. But that was the first thing I noticed.

Just odd that the phone didn't have any symptoms other than connecting to the PC. Makes me wonder if malware was on the phone? Though I had AVG installed.

Like the title says ever since the changes in Tytung's kernels between KERNEL 2.4 and KERNEL 2.5 my phone does not have a MAC address and therefore can not start the WiFi.

What I have tried...

BOTH wifi fixes, one at a time and both at once

Fix permissions

Clear caches

Clean install

Task 29

Reinstall Magldr

Reinstall cwm 5.0.2.5 and 5.0.2.6

Revert to Windows 6.5 COMPLETELY!

Reinstall HSPL

Reinstall Magldr

Reinstall cwm 5.0.2.6

Fresh install of newest ROM version

And still the only thing that works is flashing the 2.4 kernel. I would really like to get the advantage of having the most updated kernel as I am sure it has many updates but I am stuck.

Please help!

The SIM card related WiFi issue:

If you suffer from this WiFi issue, you can flash BCM4329_firmware_v4.218.248.18.zip or install WiFix.apk.

did you try to see if wifi connects without sim card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tobiascrystal:
That is the problem, My phone does not have a MAC address!

Forgot to mention, I have also tried all of the fixes in the thread for the wifi. Those fixes are for people that can't connect, my problem is that I can not even turn on my wifi because it is looking for a MAC address and can't find one.

Oh and when I said going from 2.4 to 2.5 I meant going from kernel 2.4 to kernel 2.5 not rom 2.4 to rom 2.5!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kawinma:
I am having the same problem as you.

I'm unable to connect to WiFi from the get-go on most ROMs (PA, Tytung's ICS & JB, CM9) and any attempts to turn Wi-Fi on are met with the litttle switch being greyed out and seeing an eternal "Turning Wi-Fi on.." message. WiFi works fine in WM6 and on the old-old Cotulla "Stock Desire" ROM.

Tried the BCM ZIP and WiFix.

I ended up generating a random MAC (google 'generate MAC address') and hard-set the MAC, following this guide and it worked. Hopefully it helps you out too, even though it's not a real fix.

[Android Apps and Games] bradsh1:
Hello fellow XDA folks! I'm happy to announce that my brother and I have just published our first game on Google play. We aren't a real company, we made this in our spare time after work. So just about as indie developer as you can get.

Aqua Balls is a portrait-mode tilting super fill-up game. It's simple but we think it's polished. You press and hold to grow the Aqua Balls, and the goal is to fill up the screen with them. Angry Balls pop your Aqua Balls as they are growing, but once they are complete they become invulnerable. There's a few worlds right now with different game mechanics but we will add more as we think of ideas. We think it's a lot of fun and pretty decent looking.

This is a free ad-supported game and I promise, no malware or airpush.

Download link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.woggle.aquaballs

Description:

Help the Aqua Balls expand and defend the seafloor!

The Aqua Balls are under attack by Angry Balls! Expand Aqua Balls to fill the screen by pressing and holding on the screen. Tilt your device to shift things around, trap the Angry Balls in small places, and help the Aqua Balls defend the seafloor! Fill the screen at least two thirds full with Aqua Balls to win. There are multiple areas to play in with different game rules for each area, and 12 levels per area. Challenge yourself to get 4 stars on every level in every area!

Aqua Balls is a portrait-mode puzzle game based on Super Fill-Up.

Comments, suggestions, downloads, and play store ratings greatly appreciated! :cool:

- Some bugfixes to background animations in world 2

Anybody have a chance to give it a try yet?
[Android Apps and Games] slurmee:
I installed this and played it for a while. I can tell that you guys really put a lot of effort into polishing it, I'm impressed. Of the games that I've seen forum-spammed lately, this is one of my favorites (I think I'll be leaving it installed). I think I might play this quite a bit. I have a few comments:

* You should add a QR download code to your first post

* I see (via addons detector) that you're only using AndEngine, AdMob, NDK, and Analytics so I'm happy to say that it looks like your game is clean there

* Everything is nice and snappy. How do you avoid having a delay while you load the levels? It feels instantaneous.

* You should add a video to your play store page

* Your credits dialog is a little ugly, but I guess that's not really that important (everything else looks great)

How are you rendering the "light rays" in the background? Do they use shaders?

Good work guys!
[Android Apps and Games] danjayh:
Hey slurmee, thanks for the comments. We pre-load the assets for the whole game at startup, that's why it feels so snappy. As far as the light rays, they're just a translucent sprite that we sweep over the background, we initially experimented with shaders, but found the sprite method to be simpler and just as effective.

Hi all, I have been seeing some screenshots that other people post about the sleep issue and there is one major difference from mine.

Note sure why, but my Note does not use the 1.4ghz and 1ghz frequencies. I am running a stock gingerbread unrooted ROM.

Is everything alright? I do play some intensive games on it, so I am not sure why it doesn't use its full power.

Please see the screenshot attached.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Johev:
Thank you all. I have completely forgot about it, as I have turned it on after I got it.

I'll try turning it off just to see if it will solve the issue.

I have a follow up question. Why does my phone take so long to get into deep sleep? In the morning when I wake up it is consuming about 6mah of power just after I switch the screen on, but usually it uses about 60mah with all but BT turned on.

Is this normal? What values do you get?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] monomer888:
There is no provision for accurate mAh readings on Exynos devices - the function simply doesn't exist unlike in HTC phones. Apps like CurrentWidget and Battery Monitor Widget can only estimate mAh usage readings, so that would probably explain your puzzling values.

The way to tell whether your Note is going into deep sleep is to use CPUSpy - the deep sleep timer should go up if you turn the screen off in CPUSpy, wait some time, turn the screen on and refresh from the CPUSpy menu. On Gingerbread, there also is the customary lag coming out of deep sleep between hitting power button and the screen coming on.

Looking at your screenshot, your deep sleep time doesn't look too unusual. Remember also that the phone does not go into Deep Sleep when charging the battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] scarlet_sg:
i don't think this is correct.. im on rooted GB stock and i see my note clocks 1400 ghz..

this probably depends on what games or apps you use... it just doesn't make any sense to put an O/S that is not designed to use the max cpu speed of the device :confused::confused:

[Nexus 7 General] guags99:
Hopefully those who already have theirs in-hand can confirm, but is the N7 interface setup like a phone as opposed to a tablet? I preordered a 16gb right away but now I'm worried the interface is going to drive me nuts. I have been using a couple different 7" tablets with HC since they first came out and I like the bottom right location for notifications and left for the buttons.

I also noticed in a couple videos that the launcher seems to only be in portrait orientation. I almost exclusively use my tabs in landscape. I've tried to use portrait on some older GB 7" tabs but I just don't like it.

I need to decide soon if I want to cancel. I'm sure Nova Launcher will fix the Landscape launcher issue, but it won't address the notifications and button locations.
