I have searched all over and I don't find an answer, if I'm missing a thread please just point me in the right direction.

My home wifi has been working with my Note just fine since I got the phone (cue ominous music) up until yesterday. Last night, it started asking me for a password (which was weird, because it hadn't since I first got the phone and set the connection up), and I put the password in, but it kept saying "authorization error." I am really frustrated, I rebooted the phone, the router, removed the home wifi connection (the "forget" button) and reinput it -- I even booted into "safe" mode to make sure it wasn't some app -- no joy. It's a very simple linksys router, WPA/WPA2 security, all the other tablets/computers/phones in the house work just fine (tablets/other phone Android, laptops Windows.) And my Note was working just fine until last night -- no recent software install or update, it was seemingly just random. It's a stock Verizon Note, I haven't even bothered to root since it does everything I want.

Here's the kicker: I connect to OTHER public networks just fine. I connected to my work and McDonald's wifi this morning, no problems.

What could be wrong? I really need to be able to use my wifi at home, I don't see anything in Google or on the boards about this. I am hoping my search-fu is weak and someone knows what is up with this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
restore defaults on your router, then setup a new password.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] soaptylerdurden:
Hope this Helps....

I have been experiencing this problem for the past 4 days. I have owned my Note II since December 25, 2012 and it has been working on any WIFI AP ive tried. 4 days ago in the middle of the day, my phone started giving out "authorization error" and would not let me log in to my home WIFI. I have 4 computers, 3 smartphones and other devices all working perfectly in my home WIFI. My problem even occurred when connecting to open, unsecured WIFI AP also. Nothing seemed to work. I called Verizon and did all the steps leading up to factory reset. With no luck on any tricks or tips from them I called Samsung. They walked me through the same processes and everything, so I decided to do a factory reset. This did not fix anything. I still get "authorization error" and "wrong password" on any WIFI i try to connect to.

I found out yesterday if I stand within 5 feet of my WIFI router I can connect and browse the internet for a few minutes until it kicks me off and does the same old "authorization error". If I sign in to my WIFI within the 5 feet and walk away, it disconnects and again, gives me the error messages.

I called Verizon back and they are sending me a replacement phone.

TL;DR:

Try accessing your WIFI when you are right next to it.

If problems still persist, call your carrier.

I hope your phone isnt as busted as mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MaureenMun:
Argh, that's bad. At least my phone connected to open networks so I knew the hardware was ok -- I wiped the router and set it up again (per the suggestion in this thread) and I'm good for now. (Embarrassed I didn't think of that myself) Hope you have better luck with your replacement phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Ok............ wow you have me 100% nervous now. I've been experiencing this issue ever since I unlocked, rooted and ROM'd my Note 2 back in the middle of December, and I experience the problem with only my Wireless-N SSID on my router. I can connect to the Wireless-G band just fine but the N one gives me this error no matter whether it's open or not. I seriously hope this isn't an issue of broken hardware..............
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I figured this was worth mentioning. I have 3 Note 2's in my household, 2 of them are running Beans Build 5 and Perseus kernel overclocked and the other phone is totally stock.

All 3 phones have the exact same issue of connecting to the 802.11 N band on my router. They connect to the G band just fine. I think this rules out any worries about it being a lemon issue. Most definitely is a Samsung software issue that's been happening to multiple models going back a few years. Here's a google search of this issue using non-phone specific parameters. Notice how ALL phone specific forums point to a Samsung device.

I have a bad feeling that this is not something that will be getting resolved any time soon.

Edit:

The plot thickens. I have performed some tests on my router to see if I could get my phone to connect. Well here's my results:

5Ghz band = Wireless-N Only = Authentication error occurred

5Ghz band = Wireless-A/N Mixed = Connects instantly

2.4Ghz band = Wireless-N Only = Authentication error occurred

2.4Ghz band = Wireless-G Only = Connects instantly

The problem is clear. It's Wireless-N. I can connect just fine at Wireless-A speeds (54mbps max signal) and everything up to Wireless-G, independent of frequency, but as soon as I try to force Wireless-N onto my phone, it craps out and fails to authenticate. This happens regardless of whether I have the network encrypted or not.

And based upon my google search I have linked to in this post, I doubt this is something we can expect to be fixed anytime soon. Oh yeah and for the record, when I have my router set to Wireless-N only mode, I was able to connect instantly without error on my crappy old HTC Thunderbolt running a hacked together AOSP 4.0.3 ROM.

Yep............... GG Samsung :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
wireless n has been a unreliable joke since it was released...my favorite routers are the linksys wrt-54gl running linux dd-wrt firmware. one of the most affordable rock solid routers built. its only g band but most people do not need anything faster for home use. heck most of us cant afford the t1 type connection speed to utilize n band anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vortmax:
Exact same problem as well...I'll have to try the Wireless N-only vs. Auto to see if that fixes it...

EDIT: Both wireless mode settings of 'N-only' and 'Auto' caused the problem. I had to set it to 'Legacy' in order to get the connection to stick without authentification errors. Have an ASUS RT-N66U router...

EDIT 2: Did the same thing on my Cisco E3000 and it worked as well.

Really looks like a Sansung wifi bug on the Note 2....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jacampb2:
It's not Samsung. There have been issues with myriad devices and wireless N pretty much the whole time it's been around. Android OS or the the N standard-- I personally know people with other manufacturers hardware and the exact same issues. If it's an OS problem, you would think it would be fixed by now, but who knows, like was mentioned above, very few people need the bandwidth that wireless n can theoreticly provide.

Good Luck,

Jason
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vortmax:
It's definitely something specific with Samsung and the N2 since my cousin's G3 connects to the same router on 5GHz WirelessN/Auto with no issues at all. I think they have a bug to fix...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vortmax:
Can someone else perform a check with their Note 2 on a Wireless N only setting? It seems this is a bug that really need to be fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChaoticWeaponry:
Mines been working on N only since I got it. Rooted and running about 6 different ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pd240:
I just had this issue come up when moving to an AOSP ROM this morning. I even nandroided to a previous ROM that had working WiFi and still not working. I restore defaults on my router and reset all my security settings. Still getting the same authentication error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vortmax:
For the people experiencing this issue, are you on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pd240:
I have tried roms that were 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 with no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pd240:
I am pretty much to the point of using Odin to go back to stock and see if that fixes it. I went back to stock rooted rom that was my first backup and the problem still carries over.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGS3III:
Hi everyone, first of all i wanna say sorry for my bad english, ill do my best so you can understand me.

So i have the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300, im using the Android Revolution 18.0 Rom, With Perseus Kernel, my phone is rooted, no mods, i didn't change the DPI, and i didn't try to do everything to solve my problem, because i don't know how.

So the problem is: When im trying to open an app from the lockscreen or from the menu, it takes long time to open. I mean like when i slide the shortcut up to open it, the screen goes into the "Call" window but takes 3-5 seconds to load the numbers until this time the screen is black.

This phone should be really fast one, i just don't get it why it is so slow... :(

Thx in advanced!

Hello,

I'm new to rooting/modding/roms, and I wanna install the awesome Ultimate HD rom on my locked, unrooted Xperia Arc LT15i:

Gingerbread

Android Version: 2.3.4

I don't know where to start.

The page of the Ultimate HD rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1920207) says:

I don't think I gotta start with this page ^

I wanna unlock the bootloader, that's step 1 I think (via http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034087)

But what's the best way to root and make my Arc ready to install the Ultimate HD rom?

I saw some pages like this about rooting:

Do I have to install the official ICS update first on my Arc?

Hey ,

Okay So I Got a Play few days back so I was wondering which rom to flash ( Gaming Performance is the highest priority) and after reading through various Threads about best ROM for gaming , these 3 seemed to be most popular. So I would like to know which on out of NXT ( Lite or 1.3 ) , Stock (if stock then 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 ) and Slim Bean should I chose ( or u prefer and why ) and ofcourse with which Kernel DoomKernel or Lupus ?

Also I would like to know what are advantages of one over another or if some features any of those roms lack. For example I read Nxt rom doest play 720p video well ? or anything specific that Stock can do but custom roms cant ?

Thanks :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imputazz:
NXT = faster + beautiful + 720p = best rom
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
I'd stay away from stock rom. It's too bloated. For gaming nxt 1.3 + lupus + seeder. For JB and best daily use (not gaming) I'd stick with turbo jb kernel + PAC. Although GB is the best for gaming because of game compatibility and touchpads.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

DooMKernel is good but it's a bit outdated imo.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaevil0ne:
Stock + removed bloat > CFW.

There can not be a single topic found without problems when it comes to CFW.

Do not get me wrong, I like CFW but I stay away from it unless it offers something I want.

Sure overclocking would be nice, however the battery life is short enough as it is for now.

Then another problem is, with so many CFW's around it is almost impossible to get proper help.

Example post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2099039

Person A points out a problem.

Person B tells to overclock.

Person C tells its bullsh!t.

Person A is left without a proper answer.

Kind regards, Stefan.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick.knack:
..

When I say stock rom I obviously mean after removing Bloatware from it . And lupus and seeder can be added to it too right ? After all those tweaks is Nxt still better than stock ?

Yep I dont think so CFW offer something i wan especially except they free up much more Ram which is important for gaming , thats the only reason i am swaying towards NxT rom. Also I think u can use kernel with custom room so you can keep it underclocked most of the time which can save battery and just overclock for gaming ( correct me if i am wrong though) .

The only reason i asked this was that apparently Nxt roms seems faster than stock and free up more RAM but acc to other threads many are going back to stock :s, or prefer stock somehow ... and i was just wondering what advantages does it have over Nxt or is it that stock is more stable ? Also i could use Lupus with stock right ? Also if i decide to go for stock is it better to go for 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 earlier rather than 2.3.4 ?

Thanks.

I've recently unlocked my bootloader and installed NXT 1.3 + doomkernel, stock clock frequencies.

I was previously on unbloated stock rom (rooted+lock bootloader)

Dont notice that much difference in games, better on somes like NFSMW, worse on others like GTA VC

I've also noticed that overclocking makes my performances worth than stock clockspeed on those 2 games (more freezes) while overclocking seems much better with emulators (fpse and N64oid)

Well I'm thinking about switching back to stock but I'd also like to get more feedbacks on this.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
If you are new stick to the NXT, it work best. I have lots of issues with SlimBean like apps moved to sdcard disappeared after rebooting and corrupt file transferring with USB MSC mode. Its probably my fault for not using the right kennel or something. But once I figured out to work around the issues I prefer it since it's the fastest Jelly Bean rom I've used with lots of internal storage spaces.

The reasons why I prefer JB are:

-smoothest os interface, with ICS and gb there is a lag in animation

-like ICS, faster web browsing performance than GB

-more up to date look and compatible with CyanogenMod9/10 themes

-like ICS, can log out of your Google account without factory resetting

-some programs isn't compatible with GB

- official support of Google Now

but can you have a stock rom (stripped down of bloatware ofcourse) plus a custom kernel? like LuPus or something? or if i'm running a stripped down stock i have to be stuck using default kernel? tbh i would prefer a custom kernel for OC'ing and what not but like to keep a completely stock rom (minus the bloatware)....

While I was having lag problems with nxt 1.3 + doomkernel, I've switched to nxt le/stock kernel and gotta say it's flawless in every games so far, much better than stock.

I'm gonna stick to this if it doesn't drain my battery to much

Hi all. I tried to search but didnt found any solutions.

So. I tried to install custom rom's on my one v(gsm). And i noticed that phone became really unusable. For example: sometimes i cant answer the call because of lag, or cant shut down alarm. It can stuck for several minutes. I noticed that behavior in CM10 and MIUI jb. Now im using myONEv RC7.0 rom. It lag less,but it have already stuck twice per 36 hours of using it.

Using RIGHT kernels for EACH rom. For CM and MIUI Hellboy's kernels for CM10. Flushing whith full wipe. Using min cpu freq. at 368Mhz and interactive governor. Tried to overclock to 1.5GHz no result.

So do you have any ideas to fix it?
[HTC One V] the555fallem:
Having the same problem I've tried every ROM I could find. They all look better and can be customized more that stock but lag is a problem... I'm thinking stock is better. Camera is also a problem the stock camera is amazing compared to the rest imo. Hopefully there's one ROM out there.
[HTC One V] kazak1377:
As for me, camera is not a problem. It quite good in non sense roms. Finally, you can use any camera app from market. But im really waiting for cyanogenmod 10 working good on our device.

Hit thanks if I helped u!!!
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
Backup ur sdcard then go into recovery and format everything except sdcard.

format/emmc

format/devlog

format/cache

format/system

format/data(include anything that's been left)

sd-ext format will give error.don't worry.nothing's wrong.

And also do a full factory reset. also wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Now,flash ROM again and use correct kernel.

Try using ondemand instead of interactive. first try ondemand at 1ghz-1ghz then if no difference try at higher values.

Also try wiping sdcard if still no difference.or try a different SD and see what happens.
[HTC One V] kazak1377:
I've thought about formating sd card, but has no idea how can it reduce performance. Ok. I'll try to do that today in the evening.

If somebody with same problem already done it,write about your results. Thanks.

I'm using Lloir's slim bean ROM and I have to say, its not lagging at all with min CPU frequency at 368 MHz and max at 1200 with smartassv2 governer :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Palaryel:
Note: this has happened with versions 4.1.x and 4.2.x both, always on a rooted stock image (I do not use any custom roms on a regular basis).

The Problem:

After a call that I initiated (regardless of the call duration, happened after 1minute calls, aswell as after 20+ minutes calls) then phone stops responding after I move it away from my ear (instead of turning the display on and letting me terminate the call). After that the only solution was to pull the battery or to wait for a "application not responding" message. On the ocassions where I was waiting for the ANR screen after force stopping the application everything went back to normal.

The occurrence of this seems to be totally random, and I was not able to reproduce the problem on purpose. I've tried to do a manual force stop + clear data/cache for com.android.phone but that didn't resolve the issue.

At times it seems like its fixed, not happening for days or weeks, and at times it strikes after 3 calls in a row.

The particular error was happening even after full factory resets and stock image flashing.

Any ideas?

I was looking to upgrade to jellybean but Samsung kies keep failing to complete this due to an unknown error. I then began looking into a supernexus rom as a friend recommended it. after a day of fiddling and searching on the internet for a way to do this. I found a different forum that someone had the same problem with the same kernel as i have. the answer was to install a cm-root kernel. After booting into download mode i installed this kernel and then my phone diden't restart. it has continued to show no other sign of life even after charing.

First of all: next time use a proper title for a new thread, because this one isn't quite 'usefull'..

Now, you say your phone doesn't show a sign of life. Do you mean it wont boot? Or can you enter Download mode? If so, try to reflash the kernel, and make sure it's the right one. You could also flash official firmware via Odin, if you want to.
