Anyone having trouble getting Wifi to turn on with the new Nightly JB Build from EOS?

I did a full wipe (system, cache, and delvik) and loaded up the nightly and Gapps from the thread, but when it tries to turn on the WiFi, it just flickers on and off and won't stay on.

I tried skipping the initial setup and turning it on from system settings, but it is doing the same thing. Just flickering on and off like crazy!

I loaded up the CM10 preview and had no problems, but it seems to be just the EOS build. I have tried to reload multiple times, but it won't fix it.

Any thoughts?

nop. came from wook 2.1+factory reset+format /system to eos-nightly-20120719-24+rom's default kernel.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gavincm11:
Same Issue

I am comming from Vicious, and did the same, full wipe, and no matter what JB ROM I load the wifi will not turn on. It will either just be grey, or say that it is turning on forever. Depending on the ROM. I am going nuts here. ICS roms are just fine for me, but all JB roms are doing the same thing. I have tried CM10, and two of the EOS nightlies. I cannot get the tablet to bluetooth tether either with any of the JB ROMs. I can push files via bluetooth, but not connect data.

Thank you in advance for any assisance.

Jermaine151 is trying to port EOS kernel on Baked Bean ROM (to resolve some rare screen black lines and tears) and just reported that he doesn't have wifi neither. So must be a bug in wifi module.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willowave:
Did you guys ever check your MAC address after you install EOS?

Oddest thing. I had Virtuous, put TWRP and then EOS JB on and my MAC address is different. I know you are thinking "that's crazy" but I know it's different because I used mac filtering at home, AND at work when I used my Prime I had to have the MAC address registered to get on the network. We looked at the device sheet, and it's different.

So, just a thought.

I'm still trying to figure out if I need to change rom's, which I really don't want to do....or if I can find a way to change the mac address. Or try a diff rom and see if I get a diff mac address...dunno.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgibsong002:
This is in regard to the Sprint s2. Didn't see a specific forum so my apologies if I missed it. I'm posting this on behalf of my dad, it's his phone. His phone is fully stock and just received the ics update from Sprint. Once he did that, his phone is practically unusable.

First his email would constantly fc. Then GPS went down... though would work in random occurrences. Now just popped up the most bizarre issue. He is suddenly getting errors stating the voltage is too high for charging. The phone is not plugged in. Tried pulling the battery, once back in, the phone goes into off state charging mode and won't power back on without going into recovery. Again, the phone isn't even plugged in, and this is happening with two different batteries.

If it were my phone I'd be calling Sprint getting a new one, but this is his work phone and he's got a lot set up on it. Any ideas?

There aren't any kernels that are able to as of yet. People are claiming to having Agat's OC'd a little but I am not so sure that its actually possible. We just got source for the stock kernel so it wont be long until some real nice ones drop.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] frostyroot:
Would it be possible to port Sense 4.0 to this phone? I mean the US version to be exact. Look at the One X and the SGS3, same resolution I think, same prossesor if I'm correct. Of course they'll be problems like getting GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth and the camera to work but it could happen! The Galaxy Nexus has a port so why not the GS3? I have worked on other stuff before but definitely want to be working on this as soon as I get a GS3. What do you guys think? Should we work on this? Make the HTC people envy how great this phone is?

I am going to put this here. Any comments from developers that can help us?

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-312-sprint-lte-launch-market-connection-issues/

This has been confirmed by myself and others on that site. My nick is troyd96 on there.

Can a developer figure out how to manually adjust the signal thresholds so that the phone knows weak LTE signals are preferable to stronger 3G signals. An OTA might fix this, but I am not holding my breath of it coming.

There is no hidden menus where you can adjust this threshold.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
I've been looking for setting to change threshold like I did for Wi-Max
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
Just trying to read the LTE signal strength can be challenging because the Android standard doesn't cover it yet. So even discovering what OEM voodoo is being done to read that on this phone would be interesting. See my post at S4GRU here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
It may be voodoo, but it is obvious that places that should be getting LTE with live towers, on their weakest coverage area the phone does not like it and rejects it. Regardless of what the true signal levels are. There are enough people that have tested this, for me to believe. So regardless there is an issue here. It would be nice to try to play around with the threshold to see if it helps. IMHO it would.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
I am not arguing with you or with the content of the S4GRU article. I just thought I might bootstrap the conversation with a little additional research on what to look for in the code. However this fallback threshold is being handled under the hood, it must include reading some metric for LTE signal strength.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVSiN:
I do not think this is a hardware issue.. I think it is more of a Sprint is lying about how many towers are actually live..

case in point.. I can go to the woodlands or to Copperfield and my phone locks into LGE4G and switches seamlessly as needed..

however.

anywhere else that Sprint is showing as active is pretty much dead with no 4G and patehtic 3G even though if you go to the LGE coverage map as of Sunday it is showing as covered..

I think a large portion of what they think is covered now.. really isn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
I don't believe you are correct here. The creator of that site gets official info from Sprint about what towers are live, and he also has official info on Towers that will be upgraded and not live yet. People can force their phone to use LTE in those weak areas where it wants to go 3G by ##data## HDR/1X settings checking LTE only. The only issue with that is that you lose voice/text. So it is indeed something software wise on the hardware telling the phone to accept the 3G signal and reject the weak LTE signal.

The amount of towers live is accurate on that site. I am unsure of what maps you can see on the site if you are not a sponsor, but I have seen the maps they are accurate, but it does take sometimes up to two weeks for the info the be released to where he can update the "live" maps.

The LTE in the Atlanta area where I am is probably 20-30% complete, but the problem I am talking about is people on the edge of what should be coverage on a known active site (meaning it has been verified by users and by the site as a live tower) are getting switched to 3G.

There is known range of what LTE towers can do at certain frequency when it comes to coverage. People are within these ranges and on the weaker ranges of the LTE signal area they are being forced to 3G, when they can force their phone to LTE and it works fine.

So it is definitely software/firmware/modem based.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
Nobody said it was a "hardware issue." The hypothesis in the article, proved in disabling the fallback, is that a firmware issue is a factor. There is a programmed threshold level of signal strength that forces the phone to fall back. The hypothesis is that this threshold would work better if it were set lower, because even a weak LTE connection can be better than a stronger EVDO signal.

And this is not mutually exclusive vis a vis your complaint about thin tower coverage. It is well known, at least to those who follow this closely at S4GRU, that these markets were launched with thinner coverage than originally planned but are continuing to be built out.

In fact, the fallback-threshold problem and the thin-coverage problem just magnify each other, because only those devices with very strong LTE signal will avoid falling back to 3G.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVSiN:
I don't care where he is getting his info from.. do you honestly think Sprint would come out and say they lied about coverage?

They are flat lying and covering their asses.

There is no 4G coverage in 2/3s of the areas down to street view where they say there is supposed to be live towers at least here in Houston.

and the fact that in the 2 places that have been confirmed in the other thread by other users just solidify my theory.

The hardware is working fine at least on the GS3.. it swiches in and out of 4G perfectly when it senses it..

you can sit in these 2 areas and it will pick it uip every time no reboot needed..

yet go to most of the other so called covered areas.. and reboot till your phone blows up or force to LTE and still not get crap..

they are lying..

I will post flat GPS pics of my exact location and then post the Sprint service map right over my coords.. and prove it to you.

I am right smack dab in the middle of a heavy LTE covered area on the sprint map..

but no matter what you do on the device there is no signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
In the woodlands just as in Conroe, I have areas where no 4g, mid range, or full strength. I even went to Houston the other day. No 4g in sight around 1960 area or greater. I can say that it's not a 4g blanket as the coverage map wants you to believe. Seems that's actually a when completed map.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVSiN:
Exactly my same experience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vdubtx:
I agree. Dallas is same way. SHows a large portion of Dallas as covered and everywhere I have been I have connected in only 2 places.

The coverage map is very deceiving as this is clearly not all the covered areas. Now, maybe in future build out it will be, but certainly not right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] animal7296:
I was in San Antonio over the weekend and for the most part I was unable to connect to LTE. That is until I was on the runway of San Antonio International Airport. Then afte I landed in Dallas I didnt recieve LTE at all. I walked all over the airport since I had a long as hell layover. Still no LTE. However the DFW airport seems to be sponsored by Samsung. They have a Samsung lounge as well as NFC chips everywhere to download stuff for free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
Uh, this thread is not about how overly optimistic Sprint's published coverage maps are. (I actually agree that they are way overstated, on the basis of credible reports on forums.)

That does not mean that the fallback-threshold setting does not also contribute to the problem! And that is what this thread is about -- actually seeking technical solutions. If people just want to rant about Sprint, there are lots of other threads for that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
You are not getting my point. We are not talking about the official sprint.com coverage maps. We all know those are inaccurate to what really is going on. He has specific placemarked towers on Google maps, he has several actually (known live maps which only sponsors can see, and planned towers which lump the live and not-live together on a non-interactive map). The completed ones (which have been verified by him and this is through internal sprint info) They have also been proven by people with phones going right where the known "live" sites are on his map and getting full bar 4G service. You obviously have not looked at his maps at all and are just assuming things, and you are assuming wrong. I have a tower that is "live" about 0.5 miles from my house I get almost full bars in my house. I go to other places pull up his maps and where he says they are live they are indeed live.

So now that we have gotten that out of the way. It is widely known how far LTE coverage will go per tower based on frequency and power broadcast. There is no disputing that. The problem lies within places that are in the outer range of that specific (or any specific tower) they are connected to. Forcing the phone to LTE only does make the phone connect to the LTE tower with verified speed and data flowing, so no the users aren't lying either. Once they turn their phone back to LTE/CDMA/EVDO, the phone again sees the stronger 3G signal and refuses to connect to LTE in the EXACT SAME LOCATION THEY WERE WHEN THEY TOGGLED LTE ONLY.

Stick your head in the sand and be negative about Sprint all you want, meanwhile the rest of us will continue to try to find a way to fix the threshold problem that indeed exists.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVSiN:
But that is the issue.. if there was coverage where they say it is.. your phone would not need tweaked..

They are one and the same issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
It can be both causes. They are complementary, not mutually exclusive. (Sorry to interrupt your emoting with logic.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVSiN:
I have that map as well.. they are flat wrong.. at least for Houston and other members that have the same maps are reporting the exact same thing. So whose head is in the sand?

I literally work 5 blocks from 1 on his list and live right next to another.. and no 4G on those towers at all in LTE forced mode or not.

Ive been with Sprint for 8 years.. so I have earned the right to be a little angry over this broken promise and lied about coverage maps.

I would never have bought the phone this early had it not been for his maps which show coverage in my area. but in reality there is none.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
Are you looking at a sites complete map, or a map of the whole NV project for the area? Since only 14 percent of the total sites in the Houston market are reported complete, most of them have no LTE yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
There's an LTE test app (maybe 2) in /system/app that may hold the answers. Just go ahead and create a shortcut to its activity with your launcher and see what's there. I've frozen it so I can't really comment on if it works for changing thresholds or not :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Are you looking at the sponsor specific interactive "live" map? (meaning you have to donate to see the forum there in). If you are just looking at the main forum maps then you are not looking at the ones I am talking about. On that sponsor map when I blow up to my area I have not found an inaccurate one yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
Nice find. This is the most newsworthy thing in the comments. Perhaps someone could try this. (I don't have a GS3.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVSiN:
Yes the COMPLETE map not the entire project.

before launch I was hitting the site 100x times a day watching for donator section updates.

I'm not a nub.

I do this for a living as well and I rely on my phone and my connection.

Weather or not we keep our corporate contract with Sprint also hangs in this balance.

I went to bat for them when my Boss wanted to move all 150 phones and DirectConnects to Verizon instead.

I assured him with the maps that Sprint was going to make a turnaround.

I hope I don't regret that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
I know this is "noob" type question, but how exactly do you create a shortcut a /system/app to get it to launch? I am just running the stock ROM rooted. I can't find anyway to do that. I will keep messing with it though. I use Root Explorer to look at my files. Obviously if you click on the apk in that folder it just wants to install it not actually bring up the actual app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
I think you need to be using a third-party launcher such as LauncherPro, which lets you define shortcuts directly to hidden apps. This would install as a replacement for Touchwiz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Crap not completely sure I want to do that. I guess in order to get the shortcut I will, but will probably uninstall afterwards.

Edit: There is a lot of crap to go through. Each app has 2-3 activities you can do. I am going through each one now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
I'm not sure if this applies to you guys but with tmobile s3 it has a hard time locking on to 4g in low signal area and reverts to Edge 2g too soon. I have this issue. For tmobile theres a qpst code you can dial on the phone dialer which allows you to toggle different radio setting (gsm, gsm+wcdma, wcdma only, etc). Setting it to wcdma only forces the phone to connect to 4g only. I think Verizon has the same or theres an app to do it which might work on sprint. Since the change my phone stays on 4g even in low signal area where I have literally zero bars but I can still pull data and speed test result in lower mbps but still better than edge. Im not saying to do this but my opinion is Samsungs threshold level needs to be adjusted so it doesnt switch so fast. And to add, some tmo members who has this issue whos had the s2 prior did not experience this with their s2 and it always locked on to 4g. So Samsung did something different on the s3s threshold. Maybe to save more battery as we all know phones will drain more battery when its in an area with less to no signal.

Below is another issue too atleast for tmobile device in low signal area. I recorded this a few days ago. Not sure if it also applies to CDMA

[youtube]A59-vUS_2UE[/youtube]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
So here is what I have. I am scared to mess with too many of the settings of each app here because I pressed one and lost data till I rebooted. I was sweating bullets there for a while. So maybe someone with more experience than I with an S3 can monkey around with this and see if anything is useful on getting the threshold turned down.

com.test.LTEfunctionality

com.test.LTETestModeSetting

In order to actually get to what activities they use you have to install a 3rd party launcher like Launcher Pro then hold down on the home screen: shortcut>>activites>> scroll and find the two apps and put a short cut on your home screen for each activity listed under each app. I played around with the apps a little, but I am afraid of really borking up my phone, so anyone that has an S3 that is more knowledgeable in this stuff want to give it a try please tell us if anything is useful in getting the thresholds turned down. I will list the activities you can do which each app:

com.test.LTEfunctionality

1)LTE Functionality test

2)LTE Test

3)DATA REC SEND

com.test.LTETestModeSetting

1)LTE Test Mode

2)Test Mode Setting

Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
I think pretty much any phone picked up by hand in certain areas will block signal. That is a pretty good demonstration you posted though. That maybe some of the issue with ours also. I do notice bars going down when I pick up a phone in a certain way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
I agree that at some point it does block signal but it drops by a lot. Previous s2 owners on tmobile does not have the same issue with 4g dropping in weak areas though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
Then you know how thin the reported coverage really is -- for example, only a handful of live sites within the whole I610 loop in Houston as of July 15. This is a tiny fraction of the planned buildout.

It may well be that Sprint thought it was optimizing the threshold setting for the denser buildout, which might have been less of a problem. But then they "launched" the market when it was about 14 percent complete because things apparently slipped. (Knowledgeable observers had expected an official launch with perhaps 40 percent complete.)

I wonder if the high threshold setting will really be acceptable in the long run. For example, at home indoors I now typically get between -96 and -101 dBm of EVDO (1 or 2 "bars"). I am expecting perhaps 2 Mbps of LTE in similar environments, WiFi notwithstanding. But the LTE threshold setting reportedly downshifts to 3G at signal strengths significantly stronger than I would be getting.

If there is a setting that can be tweaked with a hidden utility app and it helps, that beats mucking around with an experimental ROM.
