When i First got this phone It was working perfect, that was about 2 weeks ago. But now it wi-fi isn't working. It is stock and unrooted. The only time it will connect is if i turn off Wi-Fi on my phone then turn it back on. But then it will only stay connected for one minute before loosing it. And if it does stay connected it only shows one bar of signal strength even though I'm next to the router. Anyone else having this issue? I'm about to just factory reset my phone to see if it will fix this.

There have been quite a few reports of this issue, and the carriers should all have it as a documented bug so you should have no problems with an exchange. Weak wifi & wifi turning itself on have been a problem to many gs3 owners. I recommend calling your carrier & asking for a replacement.

hi,

I want to buy mifi device for cousin

she has att ipad 2 but dont want to pay another account for data.

she uses simple mobile 60 $ plan which does 2 gb of hspa data but i believe it wont be full speed hspa.

what i want to know is ,

she has three devices.

samsung galaxy s 4g running on t mobile MVNO simple mobile on 60/40 $ plan.

ipad 2 3G which does not have any cellular plan .

she purchased t mobile walmart plan which does 30$ for 5 gb HSPA and 100 minutes with unlimited texts.

I want to know which MIFI i should buy for her.?

t mobile offers it on contract but she is student so no credit history and all.so not eligible for contract.

what you suggest.

I am open to purchase third party mifi also which supports this 5gb plan.

thanks.:angel:
[Networking] drpratik:
two solutions i figured out.

use her sgs4g as tethering phone with walmart plan.

use another handset for simple mobile sim.

or buy MIFI

what you suggest?

T-Mobile has new prepaid mbb plans that are decently priced. I've used the Huawei Sonic 4G wifi hotspot and it's worked well.
[Networking] drpratik:
Those t mobile hotspots are very confusing.

Only differentiating factor I found in those 42mbps router is

1) it's bit bulky due to bigger battery.

2) it has pink t on front and older has white t.

As I am shopping for this hotspots,any place you recommend to get it good price without contract?
[Networking] illmatic.:
T-Mobile only has one mobile hotspot that supports 42mps for now. I would check craigslist, ebay, or amazon if you're looking to get one less than retail.
[Networking] drpratik:
Thanks.

Searching in amazon.
[Networking] 2Phonez:
I work for t-mobile. The sonic is the best one we carry. We offer plenty of no contract/prepaid plans but if you're gonna do a contract service, the value plan for 5gb is pretty good. If she has a t-mobile phone with the Mifi on the plan, everything could be under $100/month

$60 for Unl Talk and text with 2gb of data for her phone

$29.99 for the 5 gb mifi

$5 for the EIP on her MIFI for 20 months

$95 + tax on contract service for both. Great deal

I Think its 124.99 or 74.99 for the MiFi and you get a 25 dollar mail in rebate to go with that

Thats the plan I would go with, and theres no overages so unless she has any international calls or somehow finds a dead zone and roams, 95 + tax is all she will pay. And depending on where she works, she can get up to 15% off for a corporate discount.

Hope this helps ! :good:
[Networking] drpratik:
thanks for your help.

I am glad that we have your help here.

She being current student,I believe she wont be getting contract services.

Hello XDA, I am a mac user and today I tried to root my device on my own for the first time ever.

Everything was going great, I had unlocked the device, flashed the recovery, and moved recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak.

I rebooted my device placed the superuser.zip in the file transfer, but the command ./adb reboot. So I thought since I replaced the recovery I could just reboot the device into recovery manually... and it's stuck on the google unlocked screen for the last fifteen minutes.

Scale from 1-10 how bad did I just screw up?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Long press power button to force another reset. It should boot into your OS normally.

There's a bug that requires you to be plugged in to usb, in order to boot into recovery. If that's not it, then you'll just have to reflash the recovery - difficult to tell what went wrong the first time.

Edit: should be a 1, maybe even a 0 if you weren't plugged in when booting into recovery.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Hello folks,

it's me again (RaymanFX aka Chris Hesse) and I want to introduce you to a little, but important project.

​

My goal is to finally be able to backup the 'boot' partition of our device in CWM and TWRP or others !

​

How can we get to that ?

Well, I already have an exact plan on how to do it.

1. Step : examining the boot partition (LNX) size and offsets

2. Step : invoke a kernel hack to parse the partition layers to the system at runtime (WARNING : This will only work on a hack-enabled kernel) - I will provide one.

3. Step : re-enable 'boot' partition backup (in TWRP, e.g.) I will recompile TWRP with newest code when the time is right

Ok, so what do we have ?

1. To examine these partition layout sizes and offsets, we have to strip of the hex value of !ANDROID or ANDROID! of /dev/block/mmcblk0 using the dd command.

I already did this.

Here's how to do it :

iMac21:~ RaymanFX$ adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
~ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/20m.bin bs=1M count=20
20+0 records in
20+0 records out
20971520 bytes (20.0MB) copied, 1.271406 seconds, 15.7MB/s
~ # exit
iMac21:~ RaymanFX$ adb pull /sdcard/20m.bin /Users/RaymanFX/Desktop
2413 KB/s (20971520 bytes in 8.487s)

Then open a hex editor and search for the sring value 'ANDROID!' and copy that value.

Mine is :

0x37FFED

Now we have to convert this to get the sizes and offsets we need (I work together with Dees_Troy to resolve this).

-> To be fixed soon !

2. When we proceed, we need to invoke a kernel hack at compile time, so every old kernel needs to be recompiled.

-> I will provide a recompiled and hack-enabled harmony kernel soon

Here will be the required code fix; commit at my GitHub

3. And last but not least :

A new version of TWRP needs to be compiled to re-include the boot partition for the nandroid system, i will compile one with the newest updates once the previous steps are made.

As always, I need assistance to proceed faster with your help.

I can do everything on my own, but it will take time. What I need the most urgent is someone to convert the hex values to get the offset and size values.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
One for me

The recompiled harmony kernel and information for kernel devs will be posted here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Last one, open disscussion now !

NOTE : THIS IS A [DEV] THREAD, SO PLEASE DON'T CLUTTER IT WITH QUESTIONS THAT DON'T BELONG IN HERE. IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT ME, HIT THE 'THANKS' BUTTON TO KEEP ME MOTIVATED !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hanthesolo:
Hmm, sounds intriguing. Why would we want to backup our boot partition exactly? Sorry, I just had to ask. Why wouldn't we be able to poll the partition via adb, or is this to make it possible via a GUI? Or are you talking about the boot loader? Argh, I'm confused...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
so we can back up kernel, each time we restore a rom from CWM it does not restore kernel so we have to reflash that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
The 'boot' partition (LNX, in our case) stores the whole kernel and the ramdisk, combined as a boot image.

This means if I am successful, we can just backup the kernel in recovery along with the rom, like other android devices already do.

E.g. when you flash a new rom, but backed up the old one first, you have to flash a kernel compatible with the rom manually when going back to your backup as of now.

After my work has succeeded, you can just restore the old android, which restores the kernel automatically.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hanthesolo:
Okay, I thought so, I just needed confirmation. Bad question #3: why can't we did the kernel partition, and restore it that way?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Ask this to ASUS !

Those guys gave us a crappy partition layout, meaning we only have /staging for flashing boot and recovery blobs, NO REAL PARTITIONS holding those files. -> UNITL NOW ! I examined the boot offset and size ...

Seems like the recovery ad boot partition share the same offsets and sizes .. will check this

EDIT : Progress : I have the offsets and sizes right at my hands !

See : My hex offset is 0x37ffed, I take this and convert it to decimal ()10 ... then I get 3669997, which fits our definitions perfectly (7chars).

Now, we have to divide this by the block layer size (512), we get 7167.962890625, which is ugly.

The second one has hex offset at 0x87ffe8, decimal at 8912872, decided by 512 makes 17407.953125
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] john9:
Very nice work, seems like more and more people are learning to dev.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hanthesolo:
Oh, okay, ouch, this sounds like it is going to be a LOT if fun to do ;). I thought it would be possible because the uodater-script flashes kernels to mmcblk0p4, but I guess that was staging, not the actual kernel partition (this also explains why I got a fliesize if 500ish MB the other day when I dd'ed the partition). Good luck to you, and I will try to help the next time I am bored/have free time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] K900:
The important stuff is in the header (raw?) of mmcblk0, so it should be possible to just use dd.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
... so ?

Look at my first post, this is exactly what I did. Stripped off the first 20M and found the offsets. I am getting assistance from Dees_Troy and the TF300 devs to ensure everything is going the right way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] K900:
What I mean is patching the kernel to make it a 'partition' is dangerous and can cause unexpected results, so dd and a modified recovery should be used instead.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Believe me, they can't be used. We need the kernel patch. The guys from tf300 tried anything, but using the kernel hack was the only way to make this possible.

And if (not possible in theory) the hack would cause problems, we can always flash a different one since the /staging-flash is not affected at all :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] K900:
There should be other solutions that don't involve uber ugly kernel hacks. I'll see if I can get more info since I have some docs regarding the boot process on generic Tegra boards and reusing same methods (likely bypassing ASUS bootloaders altogether) should be possible, at least now that we have nvflash access for all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gdeeble:
Hey Rayman, any word on this getting up and going? It will kick tail if you do. No more multiple zips then which means more space for me. :P
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Dees_Troy:
According to my research with others in the #asus-transformer channel on Freenode, the correct values are 0x380000 and 0x880000

380000 to decimal becomes: 3670016

3670016 / 512 = 7168 so 7168 is your first offset

880000 to decimal becomes: 8912896

8912896 / 512 = 17408 so 17408 is your second offset

The difference between the 2 values is hex 500000, decimal 5242880.

5242880 / 512 = 10240 which is your size for both.

Of course, after you build a kernel with the correct source and offsets, you'll want to dd dump the partitions and verify with a hex editor that you're getting the right stuff. Both partitions should start with "ANDROID!". You'll also want to unpack the contents of the dd images with unpackbootimg or something and determine which one is recovery and which one is boot. Most likely the first one is recovery.

Technically some of the other people are right. You can probably use dd with the right seek and size values to flash and dump the partitions without modifying the kernel, but modifying the kernel makes for a cleaner, simpler setup. We've used the kernel approach on the TF201, TF300T, and TF700T with much success.

Hope that helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
From my research

Position 3670016 / 512 = 7168
Position 8912896 / 512 = 17408

Diff
5242880
10240

From nvflash flash.cfg
SOS Size 5242880 / 512 = 10240
LNX Size 8388608 / 512 = 16384

Also, I already have a kernel compiled. I'll test later.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Just thinking about this thing and wondering about the linux-based (or are they also based on other architectures?) blob tools as a possible workaround? Ignore this if it seems silly. I haven't thought about this sort of thing for a long time and not at all on the transformer.

-

When any of the many kernel/ROM installer scripts take off and do their thing, they use the compiled (usually for linux, but some sort of combo binary and script) blob tools , I thought from Rayman as well (but it's been awhile since I've played with the source and the tools themselves.

Is there any reason why an android version of those couldn't be built and used inside either cwm or tw* to perform both the backup and retrieval of the kernel? I realize it would have to churn out an installer type script somewhere in the backup directory and run it upon restore, but would something like this be one of the multiple possible solutions? I'm guessing there is some obvious reason I've not looked into yet, like a dependency upon some other API or utility that is in a full linux system, but not in an android OS.. (but I don't know).

I suppose the good news of this would be that numbers tied to the partition wouldn't be of much importance since blobbing works OK without them, but there might also be a down side to adding a completely different type of backup/restore paradigm just for the kernel to a nice little piece of code (cwm/tw*) that works for everything else.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
That would be an option as well I suppose. Take the image and call blobpack and build a blob to be flashed on reboot. Although, if we could 'dd' it cleanly without causing issues with other devices, that would be an ideal solution. Until then, this kernel change will work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Just finished some testing. Looks like I'm able to restore boot now just fine.

I'll push my kernel and device changes and hopefully get an official release out tomorrow.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vet4snak:
do remember that the S3 requires special 11-pin MHL connection. galaxy s3/note or other previous samsung MHL cable will not work with the S3. the S3 requires a 11-pin MHL cable to connect to HDTV - other MHL cables are 5-pin.

but Samsung does have a small ($10 approx.) adapter where you can plug it between the S3 and other ordinary MHL cable to make the cable work.

the Samsung Galaxy S3 MHL cable is approx $40. The MHL 11-pin adapter is approx $10.
