[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyjoejoe206:
Hi there,

I have near been driven to madness by this problem so im admitting defeat and opening it up to all and everyone.

Very quick history - I have weak signal on the top floor of my house, so i purchased a TP LINK WR702N mini router. I have set this up as a wireless repeater on the top floor, and for the majority of my devices it works great. On my sisters windows laptop, my girlfriends iPhone and iPad, they all see the network, connect with full strength and receive 54Mbps. On all of these devices, I can enter 192.168.1.254 and reach the repeaters settings page, or enter 192.168.1.1 and reach my main router (downstairs) settings page. This suggests to me that everything works fine.

When i connect with an android device (either my Nexus 10 or my samsung galaxy S2) the moment they pick up the strong repeater signal - they lose internet connection. The are connected with 100% and 54Mbps speed to the repeater - but they cannot access the web. I can bring up 192.168.1.254 for the repeater, but they will not access 192.168.1.1 for the main router - I believe this is the problem.

I have tried changing the settings on my main router - I have changed the whole network from WPA to WEP encryption, to no avail

I have changed the android advanced wifi settings, changing to fixed IP on both of the android devices and setting the default gateway and DNS to be 192.168.1.1

I turned off my devices, reset the main router, then turned on the repeater - this appeared to fix the problem - but when i turned the repeater on last night I couldnt get internet access, so i retried this step and it didnt work

as a note, all of the devices on my network have a fixed IP set from my main router - these correspond to the fixed IPs on my android devices.

I have spoke to Google and TP Link supprt, each blame the other, and now I really dont know what to do.

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Make sure your devices do not send out, nor honour, ICMP redirects. Since your are running both on the same subnet, there's a possibility your repeater sends out an ICMP redirect once your Android device addresses the main router, since it IP topological is a closer way talking directly.

Or, use different subnets.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypted:
I compiled JB 4.1.2 for my device. It compiled perfectly after fixing the device tree and adding new variables that it needed for JB. I had to use the 2.6.34 kernel as there was not enough information to easily port to 3.0.

Anyway, it flashed well. But, it will not load.

1. I see the logo displayed per uboot (logo.bmp)

2. I see the droid which is the init logo.

3. If this were like ICS, I would get the bootanimation.zip next. However, this goes to a blank screen.

It never comes up to load after the blank screen.

There isn't much in the way of ADB without WiFi unfortunately.

Any thoughts? I really could use some debugging help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruv_chawla11:
Good Morning Everyone,

I've been using slim bean in my vibrant for a long time. When I had slim bean about a month ago, I noticed something unusual. My status bar doesn't show up anywhere except on some apps and the lock screen. It's there when the phone's locked. As soon as I've entered the lock pattern, or passed through the lock screen, it dissapears. I'm using Holo, as one feature I believe is a must have is to swipe down anywhere on the screen to bring the notification drawer down, and swipe up to hide the status bar. These two gestures don't work at all. It bothers me to lock my phone to view my missed calls and other things, and the lack of a status bar is getting on my nerves. I can't even set a lock pattern, because then I can't bring the bar down while the phone's locked. I installed 4.2.1 RC 2 today, and I'm still experiencing the same thing. I did a full wipe before installing. I've played with every thing I thought could be causing this issue, but I can't fix it. Would anybody be able to help?

Thank You.

Same status bar issue

I just started experiencing this today. It was fine about 2 hours ago then i have my status bar after rebooting but as soon as i hit the home button it goes away. Nothing on my phone changed. No apps or updates. Very disconcerting.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick101181:
Hello everyone,

I have the i9000 with slim bean installed. I still have the problem where mounting the usb storage to transfer songs over usb cable corrupts the media storage. Every single time it's connected to a computer and files are transferred this happens. I have re-formatted my microsd 32gb lexar card more times than I can count and have cleared the media storage and play music app and rebooted. With 25gb of music it takes hours and hours before rescanning everything before it somewhat works but still has a few errors. I've tried various rescan media apps from the play store and non of those work either. I have switched to a new method of running an ftp server from the phone and transferring music wireless. While this doesn't corrupt the media store, it doesn't detect new music either. I remember back in the gingerbread days that I never had a problem adding music to my external sd card and never had a problem with corrupted media storage. Is there any music apps that don't use media storage app?

If anyone has a solution to this I'd love to hear it. The long rescans and clearing out the media storage drain most of my battery when it has to rescan 25gb of music.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mendespas:
Due to the brick bug on my device shown by eMMC app, is it safe to flash an CM10 nightly rom onto it through clockworkmod. I first flashed a siya v5.0.1 kernel on my s2 using odin, ran smoothly, then applied the helly bean custom Rom and everything is running smoothly. But my kernel has changed and the eMMC app is still saying that I have a insane chip.

Details:

i9100

android version: 4.1.2

Baseband: I9100XXLQ6

Kernel: 3.0.15-CM-g39df795 dominik@ubuntu #1 Thu Nov 15 16:37:09 CET 2012

CyanogenMod Version: helly_bean_i9100

Build Number: cm_i9100-userdebug 4.1.2 JZO54K eng.dominik 20121115.152944 test-keys

I am still a beginner and really worried that if i don't have the right mod or kernel I will brick my s2...

Any advice,

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yes. Unless you're running an affected kernel & plan on doing a wipe, forget about the brick bug. It's been done to death/blown out of all proportion. No need to worry about it if you're careful/do your research.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtro74:
It is safe if You use safe kernel, latest releases are safe but always do you reading b4 flashing anything. See changelog and relase info of a kernel developer. Usually it is written there if the kernel is brick bug safe.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sakramento-bj:
Hello people :cowboy:, here is a little way to increase internal memory in A_U LATEST TW JB ROM

1- You need to install both s2e hacked for cm10.1 (just search for it in the forum), and titanium backup..

2- with s2e you must just move the dalvik cache ... without setting up *mount as ext4*...

3- move all app 2 sd using titanium backup..

Cheers ! :good:

The only pb is that we cant use widgets of apps that we have moved to sd card :( ... if anyone have a solution :confused:

Samsung patched the exploit that WindowBreak (and Heathcliff's interop unlock) used back in the KK2 update, which most people got along with Tango.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradm23:
I really want to buy a nexus 4 and use T-Mobile prepaid service however i am currently locked into a contract until dec2013. My current options is to pay a $200 etf and sell my current galaxy nexus, however i would prefer to press my luck trying to not pay an etf. Has anyone had any luck doing so lately? I know about 10 years ago i cancelled att because i moved and didn't have any coverage at my new house and my cell phone is my primary phone. Just wanted to get some opinions, thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsparta26:
I don't think you can get out of a etf should you decide to cancel your service. Its just a matter of whether you don't mind owing Verizon and just go ahead and get T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbutt:
Pretty sure the only ways to not pay an etf on most carriers are:

- moving to an area of no coverage

- death (seriously)

- military deployment

& I am not sure of the others. & all of those, you need to provide paperwork/proof.

Good luck. I am currently wishing I could get out of my T-Mobile contract.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M0D3RNAFR0:
I did the same thing last month. they hit me with the etf but the way i look at it was that i was spending over $100 a month on my GNex with verizon, so etf was equal to two months of service with verizon. So i just swallowed it and paid the amount. you'll break even in about 3 months instead of waiting for Dec. VZW has you by your b***s.....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSRBIKER:
The monthly savings will compensate for your etf in 3 months but if you have an Unlimited data contract you can do a transfer of liability on that line. I just did this and sold my Unlimited line for $125( on HowardForums.com) and then there is no ETF, but you will lose your phone number. Is your phone number worth $325(selling of line + etf), to me it was.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Verizon's ETF is $350 minus $10 for every month you've paid into your contract and they will not let you out of it. If you do port the number early do it at the end of your billing period as Verizon will continue to bill you through the end of the cycle. I had to call them and get them to refund me 3 weeks that I didn't have service with them that they still automatically billed me for. They claimed they don't know when the port actually goes through so they continue to bill you just in case you change your mind.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famoustito:
join solavei! only $49 unlimited a month no contract and from the money you'll be saving monthly you'll break even in a month or two
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
There isn't a loophole to get out of an etf right now.

Don't have to lose your number, you could have ported the number over to google voice (or any other carrier) and just told verizon to provision you a new number on that line.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
If you transfer responsibility of your line to someone else you don't pay an ETF.

You might be better off posting this in the Sprint section or maybe even the Verizon section. I do not know why a Nexus owner would ever want to go to the Verizon if you know what I mean.

I got out ETF free from Verizon a couple of months ago because I got bad service by my house and I am loving that I can now purchase a Nexus from the play store and use it on a pre-paid plan with no contracts or ETF's.

You can get someone to take over your contract. What worked for me was I paid someone $100 to take over my contract with Rogers and i still kept my SGS3(which I sold to buy a N4) which was better than paying $500 to cancel
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at4r1:
The easiest way to get out of the contract is to make the carrier cancel it for you. "How do you make the carrier cancel the contract?" you ask...simple...roam.

Even though you probably have unlimited roaming on your plan, the carrier has a threshold that they really don't want you to cross because it costs them money when you use another carrier's towers. If you keep crossing that threshold the carrier will basically kick you off their network, effectively cancelling your contract.

1 Using A.Outlers method as described tried both(linux and windows versions) on xda but disabling--deleting /root/recovery file as advised.

2 Using Ubuntu Arm pre-installed precise image to sd card.

3 switching boot scheme with above using cyanoboot from cm10 and the filled with bugs version, (I am weak in how exactly the boot partition can be modified and edited as I am used to grub editing which is pretty straightforward)

I at least get boot but no Ubuntu otherwise all I get is black screen and difficulty getting back to stock nook or cm10(jelly bean).

If anyone has been able to make this work please let me know how you were able to make it work.

As I said my nook is 8GB version and I am well versed in Linux and Windows as well as SD format and booting most OS from SD, USB, CD etc.
