[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soyusa:
Thanks for the suggestion. :good:

Whenever I connect my phone to PC (USB mass storage), I shall see a pop up windows to perform check disk for the phone (Internal Storage).

So I choose "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors".

Then I remove the phone and reconnect back, it will prompt the same windows.

Using defragment from PC did not solve the problem as well.

At the end... I managed to solve my problem by formatting the Internal Storage from Windows:

- connect the phone as "USB mass storage"

- select full format from PC on Internal Storage

That's all... now the annoying folder 00 no longer appear.

**I'm not sure format from Windows will damage the partition in Phone's Internal Storage? I rebooted the phone and check again, the storage remain as 11.50GB, I guess should be all fine now. :)

Hello,

On my HOX+, I downloaded some Game of thrones episodes in 720p, uploaded the files in the "Videos" directory in the device and when I go to the Gallery and then click one of the episode it says it cannot be played.I looked it up in google and I can't seem to find the thing that I want.

Also, usually the HOX+ CAN playback subtitle files like .srt right?

Thanks in advance!

So, this is a seemingly easy problem, but I can' seem to find a fix for it. Let me start at the beginning.

I started the root process and went into download mode, but realize I was using the old method/files by accident. I exited download mode plugged got internal storage up again and deleted the old clock work .zip.

I downloaded the Sprint GS3 Root kit TWRP and brought internal storage up again, and tried to place the TeamEpicRoot.zip on my phone but it shows a red circle with a line through it. So I tried copy/pasting ... but once I go into the phone storage it doesn't give me an option to paste.

Did I mess something up when I put the wrong zip on? I never downloaded or flashed anything. Just went into download mode, then exited it.

Drivers are installed and USB debugging is allowed. I'm lost. :confused:

I would suggest trying mskip's toolkit- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746680 easy to use, and has stock and custom recoveries. It's pretty automated, just make sure you pick Sprint version, as toolkit is for 14 variants of the GS3.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skurvy_Pirate:
Having an issue with the Tab 2 where you go to pick it up and start browsing after it has been sitting around a while (not sure if the time matters, but it seems like after sitting for most of the day) and the wifi is still connected, but nothing works than needs data. It acts like it would if you had not internet connection. Toggling the wifi off and on will fix the issue and notificaitons and emails start pouring in.

Anyone else have this problem? I found a similar issue on the 7.7 forums but nobody reported a solution and I am not even sure if it would have worked on the Tab 2 anyways. I am thinking about making a script that toggles the wifi automatically if it detects it can't connect to the internet. But that is a little ridiculous needing to do that. It shouldn't be losing connection in the first place.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Hi Pirate

it's a bit depending on the ROM you have installed - but since Android 4 you have a quite reliable setting. The default behavior of Android devices is to deactivate the wifi connection when it goes to sleep.

Some ROMs don't recognize the disconnection and the switch/button still shows "Wifi on" although disconnected.

First step: go to settings / wifi settings, hit the menu button (top right three dots) and check the advanced settings.

Somewhat like "Keep WLAN active in standby" - set this to always.

That should solve it already under android 4.x

If this doesn't help, look into Play Store - search for "wifi keep alive". But for the SGT 2 you shouldn't need it

Greetz - Chris
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skurvy_Pirate:
It was already set to "Always" so I don't think that will help. I will look at that app to see what it does.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guncrasher:
wifi turns off when not in use to save battery. I think it might be a default even if you have it set to always on.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skurvy_Pirate:
The problem is that it never comes back on. Well it shows the wifi icon and the signal and everything but it just doesn't have any data connection. Any apps that use data act like wifi is off. The only way to get it to start working again is to toggle wifi or reboot. I also forgot to mention it is the stock ROM, only rooted. It got the OTA a few days ago too and it has happened since then.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karankahlon:
You're not alone

It's the same effing stuff people suggest to every wifi glitch out there.

To people who think it's due to the wifi sleep policy: although I've set it to always, why would wifi not resume, after screen is turned on? It's not the wifi that gets disconnected, it's the internet (or the download speed) that stops working.

To people who suggest it's a power saving feature under low battery conditions: Sorry, I've tested it while charging and with full battery.

To people with the above two arguments: Connection to some routers works perfect with the phone. Like when I turn on the hotspot on another phone, the wifi works great. Also, wifi on the other phone from the same source (laptop used as internet access point) works well.

To people who suggest resetting the router or wifi on phone: The internet does start working again, but only for a few minutes. Even if the screen is turned on, the internet may stop working mid-download.

The actual situation is that the phone disconnects from the internet, but keeps showing a connection to wifi. Like I used connectify hotspot to create an access point, and after a few minutes, the phone moved from "connected clients" list to the "previously connected clients", even as the phone showed connected to wifi with even the download arrows blinking, but no internet (or download speed). This only happens with certain sources (of wifi). And other phones may work well with the same source.

I have tried (several times and in different orders and permutations) the following to no effect:

1. Resetting the router.

2. Resetting the wifi on laptop.

3. Resetting the wifi on phone.

4. Restarting the phone and laptop.

5. Static IPs, gateways and DNSs. (Even though the problem was not with connecting to wifi and even internet works momentarily after resetting wifi).

6. Turning off items controlling wireless network in wireless connection properties.

7. Turning off firewall.

Waiting for a savior.

I had the same problem on my Huawei Honor. You need to set static IP in wifi settings (when connecting to AP, press "show advanced settings").

Mine settings were:

IP adress: 192.168.1.75 (make sure other devices are not connected with this IP)

Gateway: 192.168.1.254 (it could be different. Use the same as you're using to connect to your router)

Same issue

1. I have had the exact same issue for (atleast) the past 2 years. Have survived by repeatedly turning wifi on and off.

2. I too use connectify. This issue doesnt seem to happen on every wifi connection (just like your case). Even more specifically, it seems to happen ONLY when I connect my phone to the hotspot created via my laptop (connectify).

3. Even when the internet is actually working, some apps do not seem to recognise that(take some time to realize it is working), while others are able to connect instantly. Specifially, whatsapp is unable to send/receive messages for about 1-2 mins, after which I receive a whole bunch of messages at once.

This does not seem to be an issue due to connectify as well. I have tried creating a hotspot from my laptop without using connectify as well, but unfortunately, nothing changed. Further, this does not happen when my phone connects to a hotspot created via connectify by some other pc. The wifi and internet work perfectly fine when connected to a hotspot created via my friends computer.

Further, this problem happens only when a mobile connects to the hotspot. Doesn't occur when another laptop/PC connects (not sure about tablets).

I have looked into every nook and cranny on the internet, explored every forum for any working solution, but have been unsuccessful. In fact, this is the first place where I saw the exact same problem as mine, and was wondering if you have found any solution to it :( .
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecnomaso:
I'm having the exact same prob on my ZTE Grand x V 970

It started when i had kitkat and i couldnt even "fix it" restarting the wifi, i had to reset the phone in order to have my wifi work for like 2-5 mins and then stops recieving data, tried to reconnect and stays on turning on wifi.. Now i changed to the stock Rom and the problem is still there but at least now i can "fix it" restarting the wifi connection until certain point.

Issue sharing internet with Connectify from PC

Go to:

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center

On the left column, click on CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS.

You should be in: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections by now.

Then click on: Microsoft Virtual Miniport Adapter and click on Properties, then click on the 'Configure' button in the 'Networking' tab. From this window, go to the 'Power Management' tab and uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'.

This works for me. Try this out :)

If this doesn't work further, you can try out mHotspot for the same purpose.

I have this same problem after the security patch Mid March to Jan 1, 2019. The WIFI doesn't show in the top status bar, but toggling wifi off/on fixes it till the next overnight. I did make one change to my wireless about that same time and that was moving the min connect speed from 6Mbps to 12Mbps to help with bandwidth issues being cause by devices using low speeds and having several SSID broadcast. My S7 and Tab A both work fine - so I think it was something in the security patch.

In my opinion the only things I would do with a smart watch is the following.

-read text messages

-check the time/date

-talk into the watch

Is there a smartwatch out there that allows you to talk into it for your phone conversations? Id like to be able to call people and receive short conversations and speak directly into the watch but I cant find any that allow this.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chino0131:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
I dont know about speaking into your watch, but you maybe be able to use it with a bluetooth headset to make calls.

I really considered the imwatch. It is nice but is much more expensive without much added benefit. In the end I ordered the Pebble. The Pebble seemed to be better quality than Metawatch, the most bang for your buck, and stylish as well.

One big plus for me was the ability to change the band on the Pebble. A silicone band may work if you are at the gym or in high school, but I prefer something a little nicer for work.

Only down side is the wait time for the Pebble. But this could be a positive, because it seems like smart watches may blow up this year and if something better gets announced I can cancel my order.

Alright, so I updated to MA7 update, and everytime I'm in the text messaging app, and screen timesout I hit the home button and instead of turning on the screen and showing me my messaging app, it would turn screen on and show my last message and then get me the task manager screen.

Any one else have issues like that, does seem to happen when I'm not in the messaging app.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1FstYOTA:
Well did a hard reset it seem to went away.

So before if i let the screen timeout and i press the home button it would turn on the screen and the last viewed window. Now if I let it time out it just goes back to the lock screen, so wondering if this is a setting, or a glitch from before. Kind of nice to now have to swipe to unlock all the time.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1FstYOTA:
Someone try it see if it does it to you or not, I have my screen set to timeout after 30sec and smart stay and smart rotation is on.

So open like text messages, wait till the screen timesout and immediatly push the home button, this for me bypasses the swipe to unlock screen and brings up the task manager/app switcher. If I wait more than a few seconds and then hit the home button it turns the phone on to the swipe to unlock screen.

If anyone test it that would be cool.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cherylbaker:
Operates the same as you describe here. . But for all I know it could be that way on every version cause I use the power button to turn the screen back on..

Its weird that I timed it so its like.

Right after screen turns dark hit home key it opena the task manager.

Hello,

I got a tf201 after an exchange of a tf101. I had the Stock 10.4.2.18 Jelly Bean.

I have I think the worst case the botloader locked and no serial number.

By taking the version 10.4.2.15 Jelly Bean putting on a SDCARD and renaming it EP201_SDUPDATE.zip .

I have been able to downgrade to 10.4.2.15 Jelly Bean. From here.

Do you think I could continue to downgrade to any 9.x.x.x with this metod?

So like that I could root then apply the RATCHET fix then unlock the bootloader and to finish run a custom ROM with TWRP.

On a forum (in french) they talk about a faulty firmware and we couldn't downgrade like that.

I was using this method on the TF101 I don't understand why it would not work has it remove everything even the bootloader.

I don't have Nvflash so I'm afraid (well not so muh) to brick the tablet.

Thanks in advance for the reply.

And sorry if it has been already asked and replied? but i searched and there is no thread about renaming the file.
