[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
DD_WRT et al may need updating

I'm one of the first with this issue, and I've been using a WRT610Nv2 with the Aug 2010 firmware that was declared stable. I've been happy with it, not any issues to speak off -- until this phone.

I've been in contact with samsung tech (not the guys on the support line), and they asked about updated router firmware, did I hack my router, etc. I explained that all my other devices don't have any issues, blah blah....

But, I looked at the current DD-wrt stuff, and as we all know, DD-Wrt seems to be slowing down it's development, etc., but there was firmware released from March 2012 which has been compiled for the broadcom (and possibly other) specialty routers etc.

Anyway, I decided that I would take the plunge and after backing up the settings, as well as making sure I had a copy of the firmware I was using, I flashed to the 'newest' version DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/07/12) mega - build 18946M NEWD-2 K2.6 Eko (E2000,E3000, etc may have specialized builds of firmware listed and may need those or a mini build).

I DON"T HAVE DROPS ANYMORE.

I can have "N" only networks again, I don't have to setup "Mixed G/N".

I don't have to set it only one frequency.

I can set my 5Ghz to 40mHz wide and it will connect (and stay connected) at 135-150

I am not using the *#0011# powersave. I can turn ON the phone's regular powersave, too. Turning off WiFi Powersave *#0011# adds up to 15% more signal -- but I'm not using it.

Now, I will warn you that there appear to be a couple bugs in how the DD-wrt firmware serves DHCP information. On my network the 610 is a DHCP server but not the gateway router, and not the DNS server. The clients all seem to have the 610's IP as the gateway, but it doesn't appear to have any effect on getting to the Ineternet. Also there might be PPOE issues over the Wan port (I don't use the Wan port, and it's disabled.)

I also suggest:

1. If you have a router that has "up to" type settings (e.g. Netgear) try to not go over 145/150. I can't connect to my N300 when set to 300mbps and it has 'standard oem firmware'.

2. If you have 5Ghz, don't use the DFS channels, that would leave channels 36-48, 153-165 -- I've asked if the device fully supports DFS channels but haven't gotten an answer. Even devices that are not certified for the DFS channels may be able to connect to them (I have a beta device right now that does this 'trick' and the OEM is PO'd that it can.)

3. 5Ghz pick a channel 36-48, 153-165 , since it may choose the DFS channels, so no auto.

4. Don't overdrive the TX power. My 610 lives on top of a laptop fan that runs off it's USB port for cooling.

Wifi shows connected after sleep but isn't

I haven't seen anyone post my issue. When my phone sleeps for a duration of time, upon wakeup my Wi-Fi shows it is still connected but zero data can be transfered. E-mail/playstore/browers can not connect. I have to turn wifi off and on again for it to re-establish. This causes my email pushes not to come through. I've played with some router settings, but have not forced the phone onto 2.4 or 5ghz. WMM is enabled as well. I have now just enabled the wifi sleep trick in the service menu, and I had the keep wifi on during sleep already on in the regular menu. I called for a handset replacement and got the speech about clearing cookies and wipe phone data. Sigh...

Now my phone screen won't time out after disabling wifi sleep option in the service menu.... So I have to remember to turn this on every reboot and make sure to turn my screen off each time. Regret is sinking in, as I told my self never again after a Behold II. T-mobile please get a good HTC phone, I think the S3 is going back!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bluephi1914:
I've noticed that its only disconnecting and reconnecting because the phone is turning the WIFI off and on by itself. I can actually see the green WIFI toggle under settings going back and forth on its own.

it only starts turning itself off and on when it is connected to a network. WIFI was fine while i was driving home from the store.... but when i actually connected to my network at home to conserve data that's when it began Con. & Disc.... and like i said, its only doing that because the WIFI toggle is turning itself off and on.

I can't reply for some reason to the your post with the router settings, but no dual encryption, this is a well known error.

Possible fix

POSSIBLE FIX!

My unit is presenting the connected wifi after sleep, with no data actually working. I have a dual radio 2.4ghz and 5ghz router. I split the SSID's for the bands so each is unique. The problem has yet to occur again. Note I only have entered one of the SSIDs at a time, but neither have presented an issue. Just another idea for you all to try.

Verizon. 16 gb.

Wifi constantly is downloading every second or two. And at very small speeds almost like some sort of authentication. When on data and no wifi nothing is transfered until I use a app that requires data like it should.

Just an update on my status: As noted several posts back, a new phone seemed to cure my problem.

However I had a few drops yesterday. So, last night I changed the channel width from 40Hz to 20Hz per Stan.s' recommendations earlier in the thread. Last night it went all night while I slept and didn't drop once.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
I747UCLG1 Broadband Version

I have installed the I747UCLG1 update for the phone. This update is being pushed from ATT to remove the Global Search, as well as update the bootloader Kernel and modem.

I can report that the modem's power output is about 15% higher (according to my router's client table) from the prior version. This is the equivalent of turning off the Power Save in the *#0011#.

I still can't connect to the Netgear N300 when it's set to 'Up to 300 Mbps'. However my updated DD-Wrt 610Nv2 5Ghz N only at 40mhz doesn't stop the connection from happening at 135-150 Mbps. NO DFS channels they're made for dropping out.

Since Samsung replaced my phone, I had been waiting for a while to re-root. I used MrRobinson's [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers] http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28019751#post28019751 which includes the instructions for the new ATT compiled CWM. I used the Touch version, which I have to say is great since using the volume button to navigate is such a PITA, now you can just touch the selection.

To install CMW I did the Terminal version with the Steven Stericson Busybox

Then once CWM Touch was installed, to get the update I used this: [GUIDE] AT&T CWM-flashable UCALG1 update | no wipe, leaves root and universal search http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1768826

I used the 'no bootloader' variant. I made a nandroid backup first time I booted the CMW, rebooted the phone and then installed the zip.

I lost NONE of my 50 or so apps, no data, no passwords, wifi logons, etc.

ATT Device Management examined my phone and said, no problem.

My ROM counter is still 'no'

My Status is still "normal'

a FWIW. I did this with my 32G sd card out of the phone. When I put the card back in after one final boot into the normal phone mode, the phone said it couldn't read the card. I shut down, re-seated the card and booted again. That made the card recognized.

Network Type: 2.4GHz G and N

Network Security Type: WPA2-PSK(AES) on two different routers - Work and Home.

Are there multiple networks near you? Yes

Issues you are having: WiFi disconnects and reconnects constantly. Tried 4 different WiFi networks.

My phone is AT&T unrooted. If I disable power save on WiFi using this feature, my phone won't go to sleep. The screen stays on. I saw this a few posts back.

I returned it to PowerSave on but still the screen stays on.

Don't want to return my phone, as I just got it... and IMEI says it was manufactured April 2012... I updated everything OTA available and I am resisting the urge to root.

Coming from HTC EVO (and leaving Sprint because of its crappy data network), I am loving this phone but the WiFi issues are a killer for me, because AT&T data is limited and I do a lot of remote connection work on my phone.

I am anxiously awaiting a fix for this...

Thanks to all of you who tried.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] maggot_ff:
I've used this method for a week or two, and it seems to work for me, but it's not a fix. You also have to do it again every time you reboot your device. Also, it seems to be chewing through the battery quite fast. I'm happy it's a SW problem though, as it will probably be fixed soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ooofest:
Not sure if it helps, but I posted this in another thread:

EDIT

: My environment . . .

Verizon's Samsung Galaxy S III, 32GB in Blue

Netgear WNDR3700 router with dual bands, 2.4GHz (b/g/n) and 5.0GHz (a/n). They use different SSIDs and I connect all of our other devices (i.e., the Droid Incredible, Droid Incredible 2, Galaxy Tab, iPod Touch, iPad 2) to the 2.4GHz channel without a problem, but the Galaxy S III cannot hold the connection for even up to a minute at some points. Other times, it seems to hold for many minutes.

Will be testing our Galaxy S III, 16GB in White to see if it exhibits the same symptoms.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
As posted earlier, can't handle Netgear up to 300 Mbps modes. Make sure you are on latest firmware to rule that out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ooofest:
I'm still catching up to the topic, but my 2.4GHz channel - i.e., the one I mentioned using with my mobile devices - is set to 130Mbps. The 5GHz channel is set to 300Mbps and I'm at latest stock firmware.

That said, suddenly my phone was pretty good with WiFi tonight. So, more days of testing to come.

- ooofest
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
You didn't mention the encryption. Dual encryption is also a problem. Some people mitigate some of the problem with choosing only a single band and Sprint phones should have the 'Auto-connect to Sprint' turned off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ooofest:
Sorry, it was mentioned indirectly within the other WiFi thread I originally linked to . . . I use WPA2-PSK (AES) on both channels, with different names and private keys. The Galaxy S III is only setup to authenticate with the 130Mbps channel.

In my case, this is a Verizon phone.

Hello everyone

I just bought a Galaxy Nexus from someone. I was told that the device is factory unlocked. I looked into the settings and in the build number it shows ITL41F.i9250UGKL1. My question is that, what kind of Gnex is this? Is it bought straight from Google, or from some carrier? Also, in Android version it shows 4.0.1. Now I am aware that there is 4.0.4 out but how come in system update it says I am up-to-date?

I am fairly new to Galaxy Nexus, but I have owned a Galaxy S previously. Please help me out.

[Atrix 4G General] AragornPE:
Hi guys, I own a Milestone 3 (for those who doesn't know, Milestone is DROID equivalent, but with gsm capabilities). Some people are offering me the opportunity to trade my M3 for their Atrix. Now, the M3 has a nice camera (8mpx and 1080p recording), pretty good physical keyboard, but it lacks RAM, which locked us out of ICS upgrade. Now, the Atrix has a bigger battery, equivalent cpu, double the RAM, unlocked bootloader and is going to be upgradeable to ICS (maybe even a functional port of JB).

Now, is it worth it? Some people tell me I'm better with the M3, but the lack of RAM is killing me
[Atrix 4G General] quetzalcoatl2435:
I thought for a while there that you want to trade a BMW M3 for an Atrix, in which case I would be very interested. :p

The Milestone does have an advantage in the form of a physical keyboard, non-Pentile LCD, and better camera. The Atrix on the other hand only has a bigger battery and RAM on its upside. Unless you really got a good deal, I'd say there are better options out there. With nVidia being silent about ICS binaries, there's no guarantee the Atrix will get ICS anyway (although Motorola say it's "under development").
[Atrix 4G General] xateeq:
Nvidia is only silent about releasing ICS binaries to public, i am sure once official ICS hits the phones developers will strip the binaries needed to make them work with CM9 and stuff, and i personally like Atrix so ill always vote for it. best thing you can do is to get both devices in ur hands and decide then and there only if ur getting mind blowing good deal.
[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
Eventhough the milestone3 is more expensive than the atrix, it has no future support both from motorola and developers due to the lack of unlocked bootloader. The camera of ms3 might be a tad better but the screen is worse than atrix. Total amount of ram and development support is crucial in android , so i would happily jump to Atrix from a MS3 myself.
[Atrix 4G General] AragornPE:
M3 screen IS PenTile, but I sincerely can't see the difference between TFT and PenTile. Also, the keyboard isn't that great. I type much faster on a digital keyboard than on a physical. In fact, it has been a few weeks since I stopped using the hw keyboard in favor of the sw keyboard.

What holds me back is the camera. Is the Atrix camera able of recording in 1080p?

Aleo, isn't the American Atrix getting ICS? I thought I heard something in that sense a while ago.
[Atrix 4G General] quetzalcoatl2435:
I stand corrected, but I have to disagree on the hardware keyboard. I've always found it faster & more accurate to type using a hardware keyboard, but then again, my native language is not English and there is no autocorrect for my native language available.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] Matrixk101:
So I was curious what evryone thinks is the best case I was going to order the trident agies case since its so hard to find a case and also the otterbox so any idea?

HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Accessories] CC268:
I have about 12-15 cases for my TB...I have tried them all pretty much...I love the TPU cases...they are super cheap and are easy to take off and put on which is nice since I use a car dock a lot...if you aren't going to take your case off much the Otterbox is great, but it is pretty big...the Seidio Convert Combo is another good one, although I am not a huge fan of the slide on case as I think it tends to scratch phones. I am not a big fan of the Trident cases...I have one and I think they fit a little on the sloppy side, and they are a PITA to put on and take off
[Thunderbolt Accessories] RBarnett09:
I bought a platinum series case that Best Buy released for the Thunderbolt, and I LOVE this thing! I've dropped my phone a few times, but never hurt anything.

I've also tried otterbox, but I must say that I enjoy this case more.

It's, in all, 3 protection layers... plus a clip that locks and unlocks.

Well worth the money to me.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] guinzo:
pop casemate, extended seidio active

here is my review

pop case-casemate

extended active case

i'm prefer pop case coz better looking:victory:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] CC268:
Great case, however it does look old very quickly as the hard plastic gets scratched very easily and after a while the rubber material inside the case starts to become worn down and begins to sort of "shave off"...I have both the black and white Pop case. White begins to yellow fairly quickly too. Great cases, but I think there are better.

The Seidio case is great, its definitely one of my favorites...unfortunately I can't use it as I have ghost armor on my phone which adds the slightest amount of thickness to it so I an unable to slide the case on without ripping the ghost armor off...not an issue for most.

I like to keep my phones in brand new shape..from the day I buy them to the day I get rid of them (helps resale value!) and I will say the best way to protect your phone and keep it looking cool is to do Ghost Armor (carbon fiber wrap, matte wrap, or normal..they have many different styles) - they also have the best screen protector HANDS DOWN, and then top it off with a clear TPU case like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Thunde...r=8-1&keywords=Clear+TPU+case+htc+thunderbolt

This way you can see the awesome carbon fiber wrap, and add the shock protection and prevent screen cracks, etc that the ghost armor can't do (since the ghost armor simply prevents scratches and scrapes, DOES NOT save your phone from drops etc..)

I hope this really helps you out, I have spent a lot of time in this area haha...you could say I am the phone case expert :)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] bond32:
This. And I too have bought and tried a slew of them.

Currently I own the otterbox, body glove, and shell/holster. If I had to pick one it would be the shell/holster just because you get some decent protection and a way to carry it on your belt. Also if you don't want to use a screen protector it is good because while in the holster it protects your screen.

The otterbox is a great case but keep in mind just like everyone else said the screen protector is a pain. It isn't designed quite like other otterboxes in that the top is uncovered so the screen protector will never fit fully flush with the screen.

Edit: regarding the screen protectors, they are all the same. I have tried them all from the top end to the cheapest. I found that the $1 3 pack work just as well as any (Steinheil, Zagg) so no sense in spending $20 when $1 does the same.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Chiz511:
I love my Seidio Inocase Slider, I've got it paired with a Zagg Invisible Shield (Which I kind of hate, but if does do a fantastic job protecting the screen).

So sad, I've been looking at Voyager Mobile for a while now from my perch on Virgin Mobile, and I was wondering if I could grab myself an unlocked Gnexus device and head on over there to get everything for $40 versus the $35 I pay for unlimited text, web and 300 minutes. (Yes I was grandfathered in, but I couldn't stand the Triumph.)

But before I bought my upgrade (The V 4G) I asked if there was a BYOD (bring your own device) rule. And sadly there was... Feel free to read the email they sent me.
[General Topics] alpha-niner64:
AFAIK: Voyager is a Sprint MVNO which means you can only use phones branded by them. People thought you could flash Sprint phones for Virgin but nope.
[General Topics] skokielad:
Maybe they will be like Ting (ting dot com) which is also a Sprint MVNO. Ting allows you to bring/re-program your own device, but you first have to buy one of their authorized Sprint devices to "clone" the settings from it. People have been buying the cheapo model phone from Ting to clone the MEID, network settings, profile, etc. and use CDMA Workshop or similar software to transfer to their own phone.

Presto change-o, you've got your own CDMA device working on their network! Although 4G is a little more challenging to get working apparently.
