[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
I have the Diamond Multimedia WR300N WiFi Extender. The network is configured with WPA2 AES encryption (I tried using WPA & WEP as well).

Seems that only my E4GT has issues, like I said. My friends' pair of E4GTs with stock ROMs (EL29 and modem is also EL29) don't have any issues using my extender.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
No mistakes for sure, as I get the IP address on the smartphone, get max strength indicator on the phone. Tried WiFi Analyzer, it shows connected, and no problems (verified MAC address of the extender).

Again, the only time I am having the problems are when connected to the WiFi extender.

Could it be that the hardware for the phone's WiFi is older than my friends'? I got the phone back in November, through Walmart's subsidiary (they had a much cheaper price). Could it be that the phone itself is of "early" releases, and may have earlier hardware that Samsung switched away from later on?

Basically, I am trying to figure out if it's a hardware issue, and if it is, I can try to get it fixed/exchanged via Samsung's 1-year warranty or through Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
Diamond Multimedia WiFi extender WR300N, basically wireless repeater.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
The driver changed with ICS so it could be a driver issue. It was a pain for me at work because I had to retweak my custom settings to get it to work again.

Here's a good test to verify: If your friends get the OTA and still can get on it's likely your phone. The only other thing you could try is the country code tweak in my wpa_supplicant.conf guide, which does seem to help sometimes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
Thanks for pointing it out. Just tried updating the wpa_supplicant.conf with ap_scan=2 and country=US. Saved it, tried to turn on WiFi radio, it wouldn't turn on. Tried restarting the phone, trying to enable WiFi radio, it won't come on. Finally deleted the file, was able to turn on the radio and OS basically rebuilt it, but of course without country code.

So, for this phone still no internet access via WiFi extender, but works like a charm with the router.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
For your case you may just want to try adding the country and not the ap_scan=2.

I need that for the old RADIUS configurations at work and is known to be twitchy at times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
Yeah, I tried just country as well, and the WiFi radio wouldn't come on with it in the conf file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Hmm. That in itself shouldn't cause the wifi to fail on startup...

Can you please copy and paste your wpa_supplicant.conf information when you have time?

(Please remove any specific SSID, IDs and passwords though)

If you would feel more comfortable doing this by PM that's OK too.

Just have an odd feeling that there is something else at play here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
After deleting the conf file, and enabling WiFi, the OS rebuilds it.

Basically this its' content...

update_config=1
ctrl_interface=wlan0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
p2p_listen_reg_class=81
p2p_listen_channel=1
p2p_oper_reg_class=81
p2p_oper_channel=11
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
Ok, I went back to GB EL29 stock rooted, reflashed modem to EL29, same problem - no internet connectivity via WiFi extender.

Flashed FF18 Sfhub's OTA rooted (with FF18 modem), installed Agat's emmc recompiled kernel. Still no internet connectivity via WiFi extender.

Anything else that I can do/try, or should I just get on Sprint's/Samsung's case and try to get it replaced by either Sprint (although I don't have insurance plan) or go through Samsung's warranty (had the device for about 7 months)?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
Shot in the dark here, MAC filtering enabled somewhere?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
No MAC filtering. Tried with Static IP and DHCP...

WiFi works when connected to router, when I move to the WiFi extender, it hops on to WiFi extender, full bars, WiFi analyzer confirms the signal strength. IP address and the rest of the network settings are correct. but no internet connectivity on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Does the extender have a separate IP address or could it somehow be still trying to reach the router directly? You could try some ping tests to see how far that gets you, but if the repeater doesn't have a separate IP to route through I'm not sure it will get you anywhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
The WiFi extender basically is an access point to the router. Its' DHCP is off, but the phone gets IP address from the router.

Again my friends' E4GTs don't have any issues getting to the internet via my extender.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Well if you're able to connect and obtain an IP address then I can't think of any reason why the traffic would not go through instead of a potential routing issue - at a hardware level it

is

communicating. Higher up in the process I could see a potential issue with routing if it is trying to route directly to the router and not through the extender.

I would try this test if you're wiling - enable DHCP on the extender, treat the extender as a subnet. This should require the repeater to get its IP address where you may be able to do a ping test and see where the traffic is being stalled. You could also try changing the SSID when contacting via the extender if it would allow. Honestly, any way for it to know more clearly which is which may help resolve your problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
Thank you for providing assistance with this issue. I did the setup as you mentioned to no avail. Everything works fine as long as it's not in the repeater mode. Can't do a repeater configuration with a different SSID, though.

Also, tried turning the router off, and hooking up the extender via LAN cable to the cable modem, and configuring the WiFi extender as a "WiFi router". Everything was working again.

I came to the conclusion, that it's either the driver or the hardware, although the driver alone shouldn't be an issue, as I mentioned, we tested it with 2 other E4GTs on the same firmware & modem versions, and they didn't encounter any issues.

I went to Sprint store, paid $35 and should be getting a replacement phone under warranty shortly.

Will let you know how I make out.

Again thank you for all of your help!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
Hey everyone, just wondering is there is a way to tether via USB using wifi as the source of internet?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
Yes there is. It's built into the system settings (At least for ICS).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
It's called internet pass through I think.

Sent from my ICS Dinc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tj13:
clarification

Do you mean for the PC to tether though the andriod? if that is the case you may need to use something like EasyTether.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
Yea, I want to hook a PC up that doesn't have wireless capabilities so I can use wifi on it. I'm running AOKP, I haven't tried to hook it up yet to see if it comes with this rom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
OK just an update, hooked my phone up to my PC and hit USB tether at the settings UI is force closing

EDIT: Using Easy Tether, I have internet but its intermittent and a little slow, but its a start.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] killface0:
There is an app on the Play Store called "Open Garden." It enables Wi-fi tethering on 3G or Wi-Fi for Free.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wideopen93:
Before I had Ice Cream Sandwich and was rooted, I always used PDANet, it works great on both Mac and PC! If it isn't in the Play Store anymore, i'm sure you could find the .apk somewhere online. Best of luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
i was just thinking now that we just got a new OTA does that mean we have to wait even longer for htc to release the source??? if so that f ing crazy!!!!!!!!! if we have to wait 90 more days.. that aint even rite :mad::crying::confused::(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:
Idk probably. It's bs how the one x got source within a few days and we are getting the shaft
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 18th.abn:
The international one x source was released. It comes fully unlocked and ready for any gsm carrier so of course they just released code, not a buggy for them. The u.s. evita one x and Can. Rogers one x still have NOT had their source released yet so we're all in the same boat. It's crap but still within their legal limits. Oh, and NO A OTA DOESN'T GIVE THEM A MAGIC RESET COUNTER:-).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drob311:
Actually because the ota contained a new kernel, if said kernel is different, I believe they do get a reset... That's how it worked for the EVO shift at least...

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
The GPL doesn't specify a time frame. It just says that source must be available upon request. Which means they should release it right away. The reason they get away with it is because the what every other hardware dev does it.

Sent from my Evo 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SAMPCam:
Just contacted them stating this. Hopefully we get something soon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 18th.abn:
They would still be required to release original source since ota is not mandatory right? I'm not sure but that sure would be low to withhold longer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drob311:
Yes, the original source is "on the clock"... I'm assuming they made more than a couple changes in the source, as the version number changed, so that starts a new "clock" for that kernel version... HTC is known for being slow on kernel source releases for North American carriers, so we shall see... I'm not holding my breath...

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
There's no clock. There's no 90 days. Why do people continue to ignore this fact and talk about an imaginary time frame that HTC made up?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DB13:
That's because even thou it is made up that's the excuse HTC will give us to hold off on releasing source...

How to change background color

For general e-mail, if you are running ice cream sandwich, you should be able to change the text color and background color by simply clicking on the menu button. There should be a background color and font color. I was wondering, I updated to the nowipe VRBLK1, and I can no longer change the background color for my email. Did they take this feature out?

but surprisingly i was still able to use 4g i wanted to know if it was possible to buy a used evo from ebay and just connect to sprints/clears wimax without a contract
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
You would have to have a data contract to use 4g on your evo. It would be easier to have a WiFi tether instead of the 4g tether.

This phone beat the galaxy s 3 in many benchmarks, has a more fluid flavor of Android, and the better camera.

What do you think?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
The SIII, One X and GNex devices are all top of the line smartphones and you can't go wrong with either one.

There are pros and cons to each device. The SIII already has source, and benchmarks don't really mean squat.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this phone, but there isnt a phone that has bragging rights over all others.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
I've seen a lot of people say that the SIII has the better camera between the two.

And best is subjective. Performance and power-wise, we are tied for first with the SIII. But many would fault these phones for being too big.

This thread just boils down to being another evo 4g lte vs gs3 thread.

I'd say the two phones are about equal as far as software/hardware is concerned--comes down to brand/overlay preference, I guess.

Benchmarks? I guess benchmarks are bragging rights for some people.

I don't get what you mean by a more fluid flavor of android, though.

Here is a link to the product on Amazon: Kensington K33497US PowerBolt Duo
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
That sounds like a good option for you (albeit expensive), since it sounds like you were using an apple device (the iPad) on the 2.1amp outlet and an Android device on the 1 amp outlet... but it seems that this particular charger is not the best choice for non-apple devices, based on this review. This guy sounds pretty knowledgeable on the subject, and reviewed a few different similar products too, so it's some good reading.

To summarize his reviews across some of the different products he reviewed, it seems as if he has yet to find a 2.1amp/1amp combination charger that (a) supports Android devices out of the box AND (b) can deliver the full 3.1amps at once. He seems to recommend this one (with a little modification) or this one.

Of those two, it seems like latter is a better all-around choice, especially for people who own a mix of apple and non-apple devices. From his review:

So, my advice is the following:

Understand the differences between the Apple protocol and the non-apple protocol (or at least understand that there is a difference)

Know what types of devices you will use with the charger

Know what protocol the charger uses, and make sure it aligns well with your planned usage

Find out whether the 2.1amp and 1amp ports will work to the full 3.1 together, or if it's capped at 2.1

Read the reviews

But, as I said, that last like I posed above seems to be a good all-around charger at a good price ($9.99 + prime shipping)

On a related note... does anyone know of an app that one can use to easily see how much amperage the phone is getting through the usb port?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] EndlessDissent:
Battery Monitor Widget should do what you need. It displays the current current and charge (yes, I made that sound redundant on purpose) for the battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
Hmmmm... I just downloaded it just seems to give the charge levels, not the actual real-time current.

I get stuff like:

Am I missing something?

Also, as I'm thinking about this more, it seems like ANY app would really only be able to give me NET current, that is... (input)-(amount being used). That wouldn't really allow me to find out how much the charger is putting out, right?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sfin54:
Thank you for all the input.

I stumbled across this Anker 3A charger on Amazon

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tjpallares:
Yes I believe for the galaxy s3 it only shows the "estimated" amp draw of the device, which is given by that expression.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikejr83:
After reading the OP on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754102 the phone will draw either 500ma or 750ma. The type of charge is determined by how the charger handles pins for the USB cable. I wonder if some of the chargers that say they provide 1+ amps have the USB port setup in this manner so that the S3 thinks it's in AC charge mode.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jiggytom:
He was talking more about his SGS2 I think. The SGS3 is 750mA or 1A I think.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikejr83:
The 500mA is inline with what I've previously heard about the amount of current available over a single USB port. I re-read his post and it does sound like he's making the assumption that the S2 and S3 are the same.
