[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
I am using the Persues kernel...and only the 11-18 wifi tether apk works for me so far.

Edit: Also, I am using SuperuserSU. ANNNNND, I tried installing busybox by Stephen (Stericson)...but when I cleared data from trying the 11-20 and 11-22 Wifi tether apps, when I went to finally install the 11-18 one, it told me I didn't have Busy Box installed. Even though I did.

So, I then installed "BusyBox Installer" by JRummy Apps. Then it installed Busybox and finally the 11-18 Wifi tether worked afte that.

In fact, I connected my Galaxy S Epic through the Note II while it was on 4G in Kansas and pulled 28mb down and 8Mb up using Speedtest.net.

I do not , however, know how stable it is or how long it works without glitching or disconnecting. It did seem very stable though.

You where right it is TrevE. Did a little searching and found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1988735

im running the ultralight edition 1.5 rom the ljc version and wifi tether will work once and then wont connect back after...i installed the 11-18 apk and nothing...i have to uninstall reboot and then install for it to work again...any help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmags5:
My GN2 will only keep a tethered connection active for about 10 minutes before I have to restart it.

I blame my device because it did the same thing with the JellyBomb tether before I switched to Macks.

With JellyBomb, I had to go back a few versions (8.0?) to get it working & then upgrade to the current 11.0.0.

The "Latest" TrevE wouldn't connect, at all, until I tried changing the Device-Profile to Galaxy Nexus.

Probably some setting I'm missing but people have been getting it to work without changing anything & I haven't found any GN2 posts with the same kind of instability I'm experiencing.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] proxhack:
You need to uninstall the wifi tether that comes with the rom and then go back to the 11/18 version, the 11/18 is the only version that works almost perfectly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] finalhit:
wow, does jellybomb rom put that logo in that notification shade? a bit too much for me, but i guess to each their own.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
Do I have to be on a custom rom for this to work or can I just be on stock Samsung odex firmware abd be rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
only need to be rooted. I've used it both stock oxidized and deoxidized. I assume it probably works on most custom roms.

I think you need to you need have busybox installed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
K guess ill try the latest version then because I just finish trying the 11-18 version and I had busy box installed even played with the settings like putting the device profile to galaxy s3 and checked the other necessary options but when I start the tether it just force closes on me not sure why.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I'm on version 3.2 beta 2 modv5 synergized. I don't know it's date, but 3.2beta1 was 8-20-12. I've had major issues with it. Nothing that a reboot couldn't solve. I use it everyday at work, five days, six to seven hours. I've connected my tablet and sometimes my old Evo 4G or both.

Another to try, in the settings, change from WiFi drive reload to WiFi driver reload 2. Mine is on 2. I believe I changed it, but don't remember why; I think I either got better speeds or some random disconnects.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
Thanks alot for the help got it working yesterday. I downloaded the 11-22 version and it worked without me doing much to it in the settings.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ryan09266:
So here's the issue, whenever I take a very dark picture I get a red spot in the same place. I'm thinking it's a sensor problem, but before I exchange I was hoping somebody could check theirs to make sure it's not software. The example I'm attaching was from the observatory tonight (it a picture of Jupiter and three of it's Galilean moons). Look near the lower right of the subject and there's a red spot. This only happens when I take dark pictures, doesn't show up at all with brighter ones, but happens every time. Anybody mind trying theirs? Thanks in advance.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Talderon:
No issue here.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ryan09266:
not the answer i was hoping for, thank you for the response.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gwar24:
Has anyone else experienced this? If I hit the power button on my phone, the screen goes crazy and it eventually goes off. It starts to turn back on but then during the boot animation it just cuts off again. If i boot into recovery, it cuts out there too. I was trying to wipe my phone but it wont stay on long enough. I'm running the new cm 10 stable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Eks Dee Aye:
Saw this in another thread and they came up with a faulty power button. Either it's getting stuck or the actual connection is effed. Does it stick a little when pressed as in is it not fully popping back up? Because if it's happening in recovery too than that seems to be the case I would think. Have you had your device for a while now or is it newer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Yep, sounds like a sticking button. The phone is hard wired to reboot when the power button is held for a number of seconds, no matter what is going on (it's equal to a battery pull), so if the button is stuck, you're in a loop.

Does anyone know if the setting is available to show widgets over top of the lockscreen after setting a pattern lock (or is that a jb specific option)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] b3asty:
Nevermind. I decided to ditch the old & trusty pattern lock for the sweetness of the signature lock. The signature lock shows the weather and time over top of it. All is well. (& this rom rocks)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andrew149:
So i dropped my phone from 3 feet and the screen spider ed crack everywhere i called samsung to get it replaced they wanted $180 to replace the screen, well i so call remembering that gorilla glass is supposed to be drop resistant as advertised on gorilla website and Samsung website (samsung removed it from saying its drop resistant)

also went to the att store and when you have insurance on your smart phone its a $200 deductible WTF

So anyways i linked samsung to gorilla glass website where it says its drop resistant and they claim thats not good enough, well than i showed them the website where the petition shows with the signature where everyone has sign stating that Samsung in fact changed there website from displaying drop resistant im pretty piss i think Samsung should pay for the labor since it is there design flaw or have some kind of solution to fix the screen from dropping from so little of a height. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER SAMSUNG AGAIN thanks for backing up your product atlease apple fixes there ****.

Samsung wont even investagate the issue at all. they simple do not care about us americans
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gunz.jones:
Legally, drop and scratch resistant is not drop or scratch proof. A bleeding heart judge or authority figure may allow suit or coverage of damages, but they have every right not to. It's not a design flaw. Glass, in general, will break and scratch.

I'm deciding what to do with my 4 year old Samsung plasma that refuses to turn on, just clicks. I definitely won't buy another Samsung tv but God do I love there phones!

oh wow, that is a screwup on their part, advertising that glass is drop resistant. I mean but it is being advertised... ive dropped mine several times and no breakage yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kwaalude:
i had the same problem with my Samsung LCD tv... over several months the clicking got worse and worse until it wouldn't turn on. look on youtube or do a google search, but if it's the same problem i had, the fix is easy.

a trip to Radio Shack and about 5$ in new capacitors is all it took. removed the back of the TV and replaced the old/blown/leaky capacitors. took about 15 minutes total and saved me from buying a new TV... (damnit, i wanted an excuse!)

anyway, sorry for jacking this thread; i know it's not for TVs...just wanted to help a fellow XDAer out if possible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexii:
Thread jack once again. I'm a Samsung freak never had problems with their stuff. Mostly all my stuff in my house is Samsung.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
You would most likely easily win a small claims court settlement against them.. The petition will do no good.

Could sue for cost of repair, and additional cost of not having phone etc for time it takes to repair.

They would prolly just issue a new phone for him.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhayami:
With a phone like the same you need a case since it has a glass panel over the entire front going down the sides a bit too. This of course is going to crack if dropped without a case that does not have a raised face . I have had my s3 thrown across a room and I have no scratches or cracks...about 10ft onto concrete floor of home depot. And it is fine. Now on other devices I have owned you kinda do not need a case because of how the glass is set up. And like someone had said before it is resistant not proof. Depends on how it falls and unfortunately how it is designed it is slightly more prone to happen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Vaanhoot:
You guys must if gotten faulty glass or something. I have had two major drops and although other parts of the phone became damaged, my glass had survived mostly. First time I left my phone on the roof of my car and drove away, only to have it fly off my roof, down my windshield and skidding across the pavement when I came to a stop. The back cover came flying off and I had to replace the battery because it was badly scratched and thought it might leak. The back of the phone was scratched badly, but there was only one hardly noticeable scratch to the glass. The second time, my little nephew decided to throw my phone down the stairs, causing my phone to break into pieces. The glass did crack, but not like yours. Just on the edges there were cracks where the body of the phone meets the glass. I was impressed with the glass, but maybe it was just how the phone landed. Unfortunately the rest of the phone didn't survive. I was impressed with the durability of the phone that I bought a new one. My wife has iphone 4, and her front glass is in tack but looks shattered from dropping it off of the nightstand. Mine is a Canadian S3 so maybe that makes a difference. I bought a case for my new phone since I seem to abuse my phones so often. I feel sorry for you guys that your screen cracked so easily.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbc663:
Details of who threw it and why it was thrown please? Lmao
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] richb500:
I feel the same way.... that there may be a lot of S3's with faulty glass. The drop test videos prove the glass to be very strong. Perhaps overheated or somehow made brittle. Perhaps hairline cracks introduced during manufacture. My son pulled his S3 out of his hoodie pocket and the screen was shattered. He didn't even drop it. This definitely fits the definition of manufacturer defect. The problem is that everyone knows a glass screen has the potential to break when you drop the phone. How do you prove it one way or the other?

Don't look for Samsung to stand behind their product. The didn't do anything except deny the GPS problems on the Captivate. They didn't do anything about the high failure rate of the power button either. My friend had a 42" Samsung LCD TV that died after a couple years with a very common problem for that model. They refused to make things right for these people either.

Probably taken by someone because they were playing with it instead of the person. Happened to me once.

Check for failed capacitors, they are usually the culprit of electronics failing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PhoenixBlitz:
I guess some of their products are defective, because I've dropped my S3 almost 5 times now onto hard surfaces from about 4.5 feet and no scratches or cracks with no screen-protector or case, same with my old GNex.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gunz.jones:
Glass isn't 100%. Scientifically speaking for sure. Any resonance from different altitude and shocks can cause it. Scratches...that's lick of the draw. Sand and keys are nemeses.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andrew149:
See I knew I wasn't crazy I brought up defective glass to Samsung and of course they denied it and said it want even possible at a slight chance because they have such quality control ha sure they do, let's talk about phones with black smudges under there screens or the GPS issues in the gps from gs1 they never took care

The phone is drop RESISTANT, otherwise it would break every time anyone dropped one. What it is NOT is drop PROOF. And they don't advertise it as such.

You have nothing here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andrew149:
what is drop resistance is it from a 5 foot drop or a 10 foot drop? its not very clear samsung just says if it breaks its abuse and anyways Samsung doesn't believe there product can be a defect its just not possible there is a high quality control on there cheap plastic, i have already figured out Samsung doesn't care for my business with them at all and do not care.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gunz.jones:
They don't have to have examples. They base their information on what the glass manufacturer states. They only care about the buzzwords.

I was getting ready to leave and had just put my lunch sack around my neck and set my phone on top of it to grab some paperwork. Another associate did not see my phone and gave my lunch sack a good whack to joke around and that acted as a sling hurling my phone from the time clock over to where the entrance was. Quite a ways and started fromnanheig of four foot, arched at about six or seven feet then hit the ground and slid about fifteen plus feet. Luckily I had a case for my 300$ phone. Any time I spend that much on a device I do like to make sure intake preventative measures.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawheat:
I'm curious what phone manufacturer you think would treat you better. No standard warranty covers accidental drops - and it's been well documented that drops are just the luck of the draw.

If you get unlucky and it hits flat on the face, especially on a hard surface like concrete, any (if not most) phone screens will break. Others have dropped it from a dozen feet on a softer surface and been fine. Just because you were unlucky doesn't change anything.

Next time buy an iphone and buy the $99 Applecare+ warranty - they do cover accidental drops.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andrew149:
How about i dont buyy a iphone and repair the screen myself thanks for the guidance mom

and btw my dads iPhone 4 was drooped in water apple replaced it with no questions asked for free under there one time no question asked warrenty

also had a friend had his motorola screen replaced for free.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] runtohell121:
Your dad must have been lucky having it replaced by Apple for free of charged. I asked my local Apple store to replace it and they told me to pay up $150 + tax for the damn broken glass or get a new iPhone 4S for $200 with a 2 year contract....

No need to be a dork about it. The point I was making is that only Apple with their Applecare warranty cover accidental drops with consistency. No other manufacturer has the same policy.

My S3 fell out of my pocket and landed face first onto the highway. A few scratches on the side as it bounced around, but no scratches on the glass.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] howlingmoon12:
Resistant =/= Proof....Srsly if they sold you a phone that did that, that manufacturer would go out of business very soon. Im curious as to whether you had a case for the phone?

Not that I'm proud of being crazy ha (woman induced lol) but I think I got a lucky one or the cellphone gods that may be just look out once and a while but my non cased (only have invisi-shield hd) s3 survived a moderate overhand blunt angled throw into a door (was at least open and of the hollow type). Landed on thin carpet after the initial door impact. I not a scratch ding or otherwise noticeable damage. I do at least have the deductible-less insurance through best buy for the time being. It was more accidental as I tried to stop my hand before releasing it through the air but nonetheless was frightening to have done it. Ha and relationship woes were solved positively that night too so I'm betting more on the Idea that someone above was watching over.... Rant over
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JayRolla:
Never buy insurance. Waste of money. You can replace the glass yourself for around 50 doll hairs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
That's bad advice. If you are prone to accidents, insurance might be good.

And yes you can replace the glass with a hairdryer and 20$ replacement glass from eBay but it's not easy to do... Not at all.

Dropped mine from 4 feet onto a granite surface, no issues. not even a scratch.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vesperwillow:
With how glass is designed, it's not surprising to think some gorilla glass products are more brittle than others, or less resistant. It's how the molecules are suspended and bound together, and without molecular-level quality control, you're going to get some which are stronger than others. Damage over time can also build up within the molecular binding.

I dropped my HTC Aria over the course of two years, daily, sometimes just concrete, sometimes on rocks, sometimes on tile surfaces--almost always on the side or the front of the glass. Several times the glass fell right on a sharp rock or metal edge. Never got a single scratch.

Then one day, it tipped over, face first, onto a tile surface not more than a couple phone lengths. Shattered the entire thing into a thousand pieces, just like what happens with security glass when you puncture it. Over time, it just weakened and finally went.

I have to say, I'm absolutely disappointed with the S3's glass quality, at least with mine. Within weeks of ownership, and no dropping it or anything (the usual babying it while it's new sortof thing), I managed to get 2 scratches on there. One from a single key in my pocket, at least that's the only way I can imagine it happening. The other, my finger. Yeah, believe it or not, my wife witnessed it. I caught the phone, the glass hit my fingernail (which is stubby, not sharp or anything), and chipped the glass in the center. Like, WTF?

A week ago my phone fell 2 feet from my hand onto the ground. Glass cracked into 8 pieces. It's still in place, but it sucks. I'll replace it soon myself.

Scientifically, yes, the quality control on the glass can only do so much, and no doubt some is stronger than others. I have no DOUBT mine was the weaker of the pack. I've seen other s3's dropped multiple times on their face AND their edge, without even chipping. My f'ing finger chipped mine.
