DHCP worked for me

I did not have to use static IP addr; DHCP worked fine.

My only problem is I did not broadcast SSID and I enabled MAC addr filtering.

Once I enabled broadcast SSID and disable MAC addr filtering, my N7

connected up right away using DHCP; no need to set up static IP addr.

Leaving this for people who might have a similar problem: It looks like Nexus 7 only does 2.4GHz 802.11n not 5GHz 802.11n.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
I was just gonna ask about this as my 5GHz SSID doesn't show up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExPlanet:
I think you're right

I haven't had any luck connecting to my 5.6GHz network which has a different SSID than my 2.4GHz network at home. Although, I could have sworn I saw 5.6 SSID then I did an OTA and it was gone after reboot.

My connection speed maxes out at 65 Mb/s where my other devices can get upwards of 150 - 250 Mb/s in the same range.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Ok I reset the router at work, and it connects and stays connected.

I then went further as to force 54mbs, it connects and stays connected as well.

YMMV
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvscorp:
The chip used in N7 is BCM4330 and according to broadcom, and this chip suppose to supports 5GZ WLAN. There are some phones out there using same chip is able to connect 5GHz so I suspect this might be a driver related issue?

http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4330

As mentioned the chip suppose to support 5GHz network so it's possible the software is not capable. It's possible that you are able to see the SSID and can't connect and some how the new OTA made further change in system and can't see it any more.

For those willing to try, set you N router to broadcast N only and try using following channels, 36, 40, 44 or 48. See if N7 is able to see and connect.

Thank you everyone for taking the time!

I am make a little progress using a static ip, I am now connected to the modem, however, it is not accessing the internet.

Something I have not seen before though, in the wireless antena icon, there are these small triangles flashing...does that mean info is being transmitted up and down?

The only thing I can think of is that I did not setup the options within the static ip area, ir Gateway, DNS, ect.

Thanks again!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevnexus:
static IP settings

You need to find out the IP addr for the default gateway and DNS server in addition to the static IP addr that

you have entered. These addresses should be available from the Internet Service Provider.

If you use DHCP, these are all taken cared of for you. By the way DHCP works for me so perhaps

you may want to give it a try. Make sure that SSID is broadcasted and disable MAC addr filtering.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvscorp:
First of all, if your have other devices connected in DHCP with no problem then please double check router DHCP setting and see if you still have available distribution allotment left. (for example, if you set DHCP range from 192.168.1.10 - 192.168.1.20, then it will only allow up to 10 devices. Even you don't have 10 devices connected at the same time, as long as the IP lease is not expiring, then it can still be a conflict for any new devices) You can try increase the range and give it a try.

If you have to set static IP on your N7, make sure to set the IP, network mask, gateway and DNS (under most caes, the gateway and DNS should be the same ip as your router).

My problem is the tablet wifi dropping the connection to my Netgear router. I've tried a lot of things. The only thing that fixed it consistently was disabling all security, which is not a good solution long run.

FUD

I have to swollow my pride and eat my own words, because I got my wfif DHCP to work today. I'm pretty embarassed because I didn't think to check this, but the reason I couldn't DHCP is because somehow with both routers I was using, the DHCP client list was completey used and leases weren't expired. I added room for one more IP address and sure enough DHCP worked without a hitch. It's just odd both routers I tried to use had the same issue.:p Anyway, back to 0 complaints about the nexus 7 (except that there is no sd slot!!).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slivingston:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Last two posters...

What kind of response are you expecting when you have provided no info about your issue.

o Nothing about what type of router.

o How it is setup. What protocol, are you restricting Mac addresses...

o what steps you have tried to connect to it.

Etc.. hard to have a clue as to what your issue might be without some info other than saying...it doesn't work.

I have a Linksys E4200 which broadcasts both a 2.4ghz signal and a 5ghz signal but I can only seem to connect to the 2.4ghz with my N7 but I can connect to both with my Galaxy S3. I tried changing the 5ghz to all those different channels and to broadcast N only as well as setting up the static IP on my N7 but to no avail. Does anybody have any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJayEss:
The N7 can't see 5GHz networks, the GS3 can... that's your problem.

The N7 apparently uses an AzureWave AW-NH665 wifi chipset, which AnandTech suggests isn't 5GHz compatible at all (as a cost-saving measure) - I'm still digging on the chipset to see if it's genuinely a limitation of the hardware...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C2Q:
Bumping this for a question I have as well. The fix that worked for me was the static IP. But what do I do when I can't assign a correct static IP. I go to wifi hotspots and don't have access to the router obviously, is there any way to assign a "correct" static IP? Honestly I had this problem on my phone as well as soon as I upgraded to ICS. When my phone was on GB everything connected smoothly. This is ridiculous that a bug this big isn't fixed yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
I've not seen this at all with a wide variety of routers. Of course they are pretty much configured the same way, WPA with AES. I have 5 different routers at the house, use a chain of routers at work (they have the same ssid throughout the building). I don't use free hotspots though, carry a 4g Verizon hotspot instead.

They are all DHCP, none are static.

As for the 5GHZ issue, there is no fix if it doesn't have the radios for it.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Slingplayer for tablets is half off. Regularly priced 29.99, now priced at 14.99. Looks great on my Nexus 7 and Xoom. Quality and controls way better than the phone version. Good way to spend some of your 25.00 Google Play dough.

What you can't do is watch on multiple devices simultaneously. No other restrictions at least AFAIK.

The tablet version works very nicely on my new Nexus. :) But I'm glad for the Play Store credit + sale.

I hate that I've already payed for my SlingBox and still have to pay for an app. An expensive one at that.

Ah. Gotcha. -- I only have a single SlingBox PRO-HD so I never ran into a condition trying to use the application on multiple devices simultaneously.

I just purchased the Tablet version too with the Play Store Credit. Works great on the N7!

This also happened to me before.. Same ROM manager n it bricked..

Same case is with yours.. Your phone is hard bricked..

Solution is either u give it to Samsung Care (they won't catch u.. tell them that u were upgrading it via kies ;) )

or u can fix it by USB JIG method (but this will void ur warranty!! o_O )

AND DON'T USE ROM MANAGER AGAIN.. ITS NOT FOR THIS DEVICE! :)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
There seem to be a couple of different methods to get root over in the android dev sections for my T-mobile T999 ... Some trip the "counter" others do not.. some seem to flash an entire rom, while others seem to do it a different way? Not being a Android veteran - I'm just a little lost and wanted to ask for guidance to avoid a goof because I'm not certain of the terms and methods being used.

ANY HELP OR GUIDANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Simply stated: What is the best method for getting ROOT? I have a T-mobile T999 which is already sim unlocked.

I have not idea what the "counter" is, and why its important (if in fact, it is important?)

In a perfect world, I'd like to get root, cmw and superuser by using something like superoneclick which was the way I rooted my last device. Doesn't get much easier than hooking up the phone and clicking a button and waiting :)

WHY DO I WANT ROOT?

I want to be able to flash some of the cool themes I'm seeing, the snap picture with volume key mod, get rid of carrier iq, and uninstall (debloat) some of the useless factory apps installed on my stock rom, and I'm anxiously awaiting a working Jellybean rom which I have no doubt will be available sooner or later.

THANKS.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xcor3:
Counter is a method used by Samsung to see if your phone has been modified. For example, in case you need to exchange your phone with your carrier or Samsung then they would check the counter. Your warranty will automatically be voided. If this is important to you, then i suggest using the rooting method without ticking the counter number. all the rooting methods are easy as pie, its just up to you which to use. I used the one with ticking the counter because it was the very first method. There should bea counter reset work around soon so I'm not too worried

I haven't seen this mentioned before, but: This is the first time I have gotten any Emergency Alerts. I get them all the time from Weather Bug and other kinds of weather alerts. Only over the past couple of days did I start seeing any of the actual installed app on the phone broadcasting the Emergency Alerts. It sets off the noise that we all know and jump to before the guy says "This is only a test..."

I really like that feature, cause I'm a weird guy like that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] penorwood:
I've gotten quite a few the past few days too ... never noticed them before that!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joy2DaWurld:
This all happened so suddenly the past few days:

1. After flashing AOKP M6, I couldn't mount my phone through USB. I kept getting a "device unrecognized" error, followed by an installation failed error. Wasn't sure what the problem was because my USB was working right before I flashed Milestone 6.

2. I was having random FCs with AOKPM6 + Eugene's kernel so I backed up my data and did a full wipe/reset from CWM. This lead to a black screen on every boot after the Samsung logo faded away, and the ROM wouldn't boot. Freaked out so I tried multiple times with multiple cables and multiple computers to get to ODIN and prevent further damage...

3. Can't get into Download mode for ODIN. I've ODIN-ed my phone at least 2-3 times when official ICS came out for our T-989 so I know I'm doing it properly. When I unplug my battery, plug it back in and hold down both volume keys, it takes me to CWM, not Download mode. I've experienced this before on the Vibrant T-959 and the reason for this would be because the bootloader is broken.

I've heard of Mobile ODIN but it does not support our T-989 :crying:

Obviously my next motive is to send in my phone for replacement for T-Mo but I can't unroot or get back to stock firmware because the USB hub on the phone is damaged. I read elsewhere on XDA that by blowing air into the USB port or by pushing around the connector inside the USB hub with a precision screwdriver, I can temporarily regain USB connection...IT ALMOST WORKED. While my Win7 laptop recognizes my Samsung phone and allows me to mount the SDcards, this same does NOT apply for rebooting to Download mode from the power menu then reconnecting my USB cable when I open up ODIN.

Is there ANYTHING I can do? :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
Did you flash the Rom again after doing the full wipe?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
if not that's explain y it won't boot lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joy2DaWurld:
No I didn't even have the ROM .zip on my phone anymore. Either way I FIXED IT! I woke up earlier and was still content on getting it working somehow. I kept playing around a precision flat head screw driver after putting my phone into Download mode from the power menu. Button combination still wasn't working. My computer and ODIN detected the phone so I flashed right away and tried not moving my phone at all. The first time it lost connection to my phone half way so it didn't install properly and went to a weird alternate Download mode screen that said something like "your upgrade wasn't properly installed, connect to Kies and recovery"...Kies obviously didn't recognize my phone so I saw that ODIN still recognized my phone. Tried restoring from ODIN again and it worked! Went to a bootloop, displaying only the SAMSUNG logo but I went into stock recovery, wiped data/factory reset and everything is okay!

I called TMO to order a replacement- a phone with a working USB hub so I can mount mass storage and whatnot. Weird thing is that this phone's USB is working a-okay. I plugged it into all of my different ports on different PCs and, at least, this stock 2.3.6 TWROM is always asking me if I'd like to mount my phone as removable storage. Both internal and external sdcards are working fine. Very, very strange.

I hope this helps someone who comes across this problem. :)

**A precision flat-head screwdriver was used to poke the connector sticking in your USB port in your phone (it's the only thing somewhat popping out of your USB port). Don't go too hard, but push the connector up, down, left, right. There's obviously no "right way" to do this so be gentle as not to break it altogether. This is just a temporary fix. I don't know how long this will work for. The first few times I positioned the connector the right way it only stayed that way for a bit and my computer then recognized it as an "unrecognized/unknown device." Now, somehow it's been working for the last 4-5 hours, even after ODIN-ing and unplugging/replugging, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
Dude if you wiped the phone in cwm and just rebooted I'm pretty sure that's y you got the black screen after boot. To my understanding when you use super wipe that wiped the Rom off your phone so without flashing another Rom or restoring a nandroid your phone wouldn't boot cause there wasn't anything for it to boot.

I was using aokp_hercules_unofficial but the seemed to be a problem of it sticking upside down. so i decided to reflash the phone.

My galaxy s 3 had no problem connecting. so i loaded drop box before anything and downloaded it to the phone. did a back up and then i wiped everything and went to look for the file and could not find it nowhere. i tried restarting the phone and it would not go into cwm at all. the 3 button combo only takes me to odin mode (download) if i try to power the phone it flashes Samsung for a second and stays black. I dont want to have to send it in but if i do it shows no binary custom number and says Samsung official.

[APP - SCRIPT][CM 9, 10 & HB] Datafix - for "low storage notification" problems

Hereby I proudly present: Datafix.

This app is an alternative to installing Wendigogo's "new low storage datafix" script through CWM. Now you can install the script through this app with a nice interface to control the options provided by the script. Besides that the app is capable of clearing your apps cache and data. It will give you all information about the ammount of data contained in /datadata and /data.

The script itself is discussed here on XDA.

A discription on how to use the app is presented to you when you first start the app. Basically it does nothing on its own. The app presents the contents of /datadata in a nice view, sorted by size, alphabet or size/type. You can choose with checkboxes for which apps you would like to keep the cache on /data or all its data on /data. After pressing the install button you will get confirmation. Only after installing the init.d script and a reboot your data will be resorted and the fix will be active.

A huge thanks for Wendigogo who's script is installed and who participated in the development of the app. Without him the app would not have been developed in the first place and certainly not in its current form.

Also thanks to Upichie who was our first and only beta tester. He gave us some good ideas and discovered some bugs we didn't encounter during development.

You can find the app on Google Play here.

Current version is 1.2.0
